My heart says KTM 950 adv, but a little part of me is worried that it's 'too much bike'. Planning on using 2012 as prep to get in some good riding experience along gravel/roads around here. Would love your perspective on it. (how it feels, if it's scared you yet, if it's too hard to work on, if you'd buy another one!)
If you're still in Vancouver would be great to buy you a coffee and see your setup.
(also, we vacation is Osoyoos every year - part of the only desert (i think) in Canada - so it typically has 30 degree days with the warmest lake in Canada too)
Ride safe and enjoy the ride.
Osoyoos was awesome. I'm definitely going to vacation there after this trip.
We're so behind in blogging that we haven't even posted about Vancouver yet. We left Vancouver almost 3 weeks ago. We're currently in Salt Lake City, Utah, heading down to Provo today and then to Moab for this weekend (and my birthday).
I love my 990. Working on it hasn't been too bad so far. This is my first bike and the first bike I have ever worked on. I'm also a beginner mechanic, but I went to school for electrical engineering. So far, we've done a valve clearance check, water pump rebuild, brake and clutch fluid changes, and oil changes. John, in Calgary, taught me how to change the rear tire, and the guys at the KTM shop outside of Portland showed us how to properly adjust the chain tension. It doesn't seem too bad. After looking at some KLRs and some older BMWs, the 990 does look a lot more complicated, but, so far, it's not too bad.
Here's a link to the thread in which I was asking about this bike before I bought it:
I don't think it's too much bike at all, but, then again, I have nothing to compare it to. I haven't killed my self yet. My perspective is that you are at the controls and the bike basically does what you tell it to and goes where you point it to go.
Here is a good quote from the thread I posted above:
Rockwell...despite the best intentions of the warnings don't let "too much bike" throw you. If bikes kill people then pencils misspell words, spoons cause obesity and cars make people drive drunk.
You simply need to approach the bike with the understanding that it is unforgiving and use your noodle appropriately. Stupidity kills people, not motos.

Inactive lifestyles cut lives short says new report
Inactive lifestyles cause 37 000 premature deaths a year, and costs society more than 8 billion pounds, according to a new report.
The figures published by UK Active showed 30% of people in Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire don't do enough physical activity - that's 1% more than the national average.
Hull was named the fifth most inactive place in the country.
The Chief Medical Officer defines physical inactivity as participation in less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week.
The report found "Incontrovertible evidence that inactivity significantly heightens the risk of developing chronic illnesses."
It also found there is a disproportionately low spend on programmes to tackle physical inactivity by local authorities, but that Yorkshire and the Humber spends much more on this than the national average.
But the East Midlands has one of the lowest proportional public health spends on physical inactivity (1.8 per cent) compared to the national average (2.4 per cent). The region is just below average in terms of inactivity.
Long-serving Lib Dem: "Clegg did the right thing"
Downbeat Liberal Democrat Bill Newton Dunn, the UK's longest serving MEP, said he was 'very disappointed' after the party lost its seat in the East Midlands.
But despite criticism of the Lib Dem leadership, he defended Nick Clegg's approach to the election:
Ukip and the Conservatives each took two of the five seats in the East Midlands, with Labour securing one.
Ukip candidates Roger Helmer and Margot Parker were elected along with Tories Emma McClarkin and Andrew Iain Lewer and Labour's Glenis Willmott.

East Midlands region results
Ukip has topped the poll in the East Midlands and won two seats. The Conservatives have also won two seats. Labour has one MEP for the region.

Ambulance service criticised for emergency response times
Inspectors have criticised East Midlands Ambulance Service for failing to respond to emergency calls on time. It follows an unannounced visit earlier this year by the Care Quality Commission.
The report, which was published today, also said there was a lack of ambulances and not enough paramedics. But the ambulance service says improvements have already been made. Victoria Davies reports.

There is hope to get better.
Many years ago I used to play Open-level tournaments. I then didn't play for a number of years and came back as a 5.0 level player. Age and injuries to my shoulder, elbow, ankle, and knee, some keeping me out of the game for lengthy periods of time, dropped me down to 4.0. I've been fighting a tear in my achilles tendon for the last couple of years which is slowly getting better and then last winter tore some cartilage in my shoulder. I played very little this summer, however I did practice what I was physically able to do.
I worked very hard on the backboard and drop-feeding myself trying to fix my strokes, re-learning them almost from scratch, and driving out the habit of lifting my head to look at the opponent which almost destroyed my game when I was teaching (lifting up to see what the students were doing during drills). As my shoulder and achilles gradually got better, I started hitting more seriously, and learning to serve with what range of motion I did have in my shoulder. With rest, time, and dissolving cartilage chips, everything gradually got better and I was able to hit with friends of mine fairly consistently. Still, I went out to the backboard or fed myself balls out of the basket working carefully on form almost every day - getting rid of the sloppy habits accumulated from injuries and lack of movement, working on every type of shot.
Finally, my shoulder felt much better and I started to learn to serve much more normally. I now go out and practice serves quite often, re-learning all my serves again. Not all the way there yet, but getting much closer.
I'm now often dominating in the higher level 4.5 doubles I play. I'm beating my friend I who I historically was even with. When coming back from injury he was beating me 6-0,6-2 or so pretty much every time. Thanks to him for putting up with me. Just beat a guy who I wouldn't even have thought of playing a few months ago because I would have had no chance, winning 6 of the last 7 games, just overpowering him.
There are two points to this:
1) Even though for long periods of time where it seemed improvement was not coming at all and I had thoughts that it was all in vain and I would now be a 3.5 player, all the work finally did pay off in getting my game together.
2) If someone is wanting to improve to a higher level, are they putting in the many hours on the practice court it truly takes to do it?
Wish I had your dedication and determination.
Your first paragraph sorta parallels my tennis from the mid '70's.
I quit for motocross, then for windsurfing.
My third year regular practice partners were Div111 singles players, and a couple of top high school players. They often were also my doubles partners, and I was the poorest person with no transportation.
I haven't recovered from the windsurfing yet.
Congratulations on your improvement!
Drop feeding rocks. Way underrated way to practice. . . .
In my opinion, it is easier for a player like NLBwell to improve since he was once an excellent player before the injuries and time off. Bad players who don't have coaches can't fix their forms and usually lack the dedication needed to advance to the next level. It's much tougher for them.
As usual, I disagree.
I suspect NL is close to my age, like SocialSecurity eligible.
As such, long practice sessions and drilling, some play, can quickly lead to injuries that are hard to recover from.
If he was 50, yes, he has a great chance to get back up to at least 4.5.
At 64, no chance, it's reality, injury is the NO. ONE factor that inhibits getting good.
I'm around halfway inbetween 50 and 64. So I guess I've got a half chance?
Still got a long ways to go in my movement before I'm a solid 4.5.
Maybe you are like that guy, except your passion is tennis :)
Inspirational. For those of us who are younger but not kids and are trying to improve, this is a great example. Thanks man.
What is drop feeding?
Seems totally useless.
Drop feeding is useless for lots of players.
But for some player's, it's useful to hit the ball with solid kinetics, like the first ball against a wall, so you get in practice to hit real balls, not slap shot first ball feeds in rallies.
Most of us play like we practice. Notice lots of guys on here feed the first ball with a side/underhand slap, and hit their forehands like that.
Not every player needs to concentrate on the first feed ball, but some do.
A quick anecdote from Vic Braden--
"...about three days later I was at the Los Angeles Tennis club and Stan was out on the court like a beginner, throwing the ball up and working on a topspin backhand. He would let the ball bounce, take his racquet back at eye level, then drop down with his thighs and lift up as he hit the ball."
"Stan" is Stan Smith. If drop feeding was useful for him, it's probably potentially useful for most of us.
Another anecdote (based on memory, but I think it's accurate): somebody once asked Tony Larson on this board about how he mastered the 2hbh. If I remember right, Tony responded that one of the keys was when an instructor insisted that he use his backhand when feeding the ball to start rallies. Pretty powerful evidence that drop-feeding can make a difference.
Drop feeding is great for developing rec players, IME. If you don't have the budget for tons of instruction but you need to work on muscle memory or change one specific thing about your stroke, drop feeding is awesome.
I did a lot of it to get used to the feel of SW grip, for instance. I also taught myself to hit topspin lobs off of both wings that way. It's also very good for learning to put away mid-court sitters -- toss the ball up over the T, crush. It's probably one of the reasons why I like paceless balls.
I think drop feeding can be better (or maybe just different) than hitting off the wall. Most people I see hitting off the wall are slamming the ball, which is back on them quickly. So they do an incomplete swing to be ready. How is that helpful? With drop feeding, you can take your time and do the thing right so you build some muscle memory.
drop feeding is useful to work over and over on the same stroke to improve it,,eg, I had trouble with short ball put aways, did a lot drop feeds to get a feel for the shot, now its much better when playing.
Big difference between "improving" to get closer to what was previously your level, vs improving to a level higher than you've ever previously been.
So it's inspiring to hear about someone on the older side (no offense NLBwell) getting back to a high level despite some health issues.
That doesn't mean we expect to replicate his progress-- just means that, like the thread title says, there is hope to get better.
@ goober and Avles
Goober is right in fact that the OP getting back to 4.5 is not all that impressive. Players who have built up the muscle memory as a junior will always have a higher ceiling than the folks who came to the game late.
However, what you can be impressed with is making the effort after so long away from the game. I will tell you that once I stop playing tennis it will be golf full time, and you will never see another post from me again.
FWIW ... I am a 43 year old that did not start until my 30's and just this past year was bumped to 4.5 ... so it can be done. However, my strokes will always be unorthodox compared to someone that learned proper technique when they were 12. I will never be able to develop a 5.0 game with my current technique and I have neither the patience or the time to completely renovate my strokes.

When you think of pumpkins, you can't help but think of Lombardi Ranch at the top of Bouquet Canyon Road, where October weekends bring thousands of visitors to enjoy music, crafts, shop for farm-fresh produce, explore Scarecrow Alley and, oh yeah, buy their holiday pumpkins.
More than a generation of youngsters have had their pictures taken on the giant plaster gourds planted along the walking trails, or popped their heads through the holes in a board painted with a farm wagon and its driver, or pretended to be trapped behind paddy wagon bars near the pumpkin fields.

Philippines scores double win at Asian Oscars Monday night
More News from Bayani San Diego Jr.
MANILA, Philippines—The country posted a double victory at the 6th Asian Film Awards, held in Hong Kong Monday night.
Filipino comedienne Eugene Domingo emerged as the favorite actress for her work in Marlon Rivera's "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" at the AFA, which is considered the Asian Oscars.
Another Filipina, theater stalwart Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, won best supporting actress for her performance in Loy Arcenas' "Niño."
According to the Filipinos who attended the red-carpet event, Domingo stopped the show, after she asked for a kiss from favorite actor winner and Cantopop idol Andy Lau (who won for "A Simple Life") onstage. (The favorite actor and actress winners were decided by online voting.)
A teary-eyed Buencamino dedicated her trophy to her "family, Cinemalaya and the country."
"Septic" and "Niño" were both products of last year's Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival. Both Domingo and Buencamino won at the Cinemalaya fest, too.
The last time the country won at the AFA was in 2009—when Gina Pareño won best supporting actress for her work in Brillante Mendoza's "Serbis."
The AFA is handed out by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society to "recognize excellence in Asian cinema."

Huge investments are going to be made to tap its potential
Tourism sector has been accorded top priority by the Tamil Nadu Government and huge investments are going to be made to tap its potential,Tourism Minister S.Gokula Indira has said here on Wednesday.
She emphasised that tourism is part and parcel of everyone's life and this sector has got tremendous employment generation potential.
"It was Chief Minister Jayalalithaa who coined the catchy slogan 'Enchanting Tamil Nadu' during her stint in the early 90s. She held the tourism portfolio for three years and again she is now ready with a major action plan for tapping the tourism potential to bring revenue to the State Government and also create employment opportunities for youngsters," she said.
Ms. Gokula Indira launched the Centre for Tourism and Hotel Management in Madurai Kamaraj University through which the varsity will offer five-year integrated course called 'Master's Programme in Tourism and Hotel Management.'
The Minister has said that the Chief Minister's Vision 2023 document has a special place for tourism and Rs.10,000-crore worth tourism development projects have been planned through Public Private Partnership in the coming years.
"Our focus will be on everything that concerns tourism — be it the beaches, temples, parks and other things. On the other side, there is spiritual tourism in which everybody is a part since going to temples with family is also part of tourism," she said.
Stating that tourism sector holds lot of promise in creation of jobs, the Minister urged the university to concentrate on equipping the students with good communication skills with focus on speaking English language since there are plenty of jobs in hotels.
After launching the new centre, the Minister also unveiled the portrait of M.D.K. Kuthalingam, former Vice-Chancellor of MKU (1992-95) and expressed her good wishes to the present Vice-Chancellor Kalyani Mathivanan who is the daughter of late Dr.Kuthalingam.
Speaking earlier, Kalyani Mathivanan, Vice-Chancellor, said that tourism and hotel management has immense opportunities for students and the Chief Minister's significant allocation of funds to tourism sector is a testimony to that.
"If India is to realise the potential in tourism and hospitality sector, we need to have technically qualified workforce and hence, the MKU will offer an integrated course — Masters Programme in Tourism and Hotel Management — of five year duration," the Vice-Chancellor said.
The university also paid rich tributes to its former Vice-Chancellor Kuthalingam to commemorate the first remembrance day on Wednesday.
University Syndicate members P. Gunasekaran and P.T. Manoharan along with P. Chellathurai, Professor and Head of Department of Youth Welfare Studies, have recalled the services rendered by the former Vice-Chancellor during the three-year tenure and how compassionate he was towards teaching and non-teaching staff.
R.Kannan, Registrar in-charge, MKU, proposed a vote of thanks. The university also opened a multi-speciality health centre on the MKU campus here. Portraits of five other Vice-Chancellors too were put up in the varsity's Mu.Va.Hall - K. Aludiapillai (1995-98), M.Salihu (1998-2001), P.K. Ponnuswamy (2002-05), P. Maruthamuthu (2005-08) and R. Karpaga Kumaravel (2008-11).

April 13, 2015 - I ordered this for my mother birthday and she is very delighted about the product. It fit nice on her and the material is of good quality. I have another model, also from Nepal, and I am very pleased with the tee. Is very soft and fit well.
January 2, 2015 - I ordered the brown; beautiful stitching and attention to detail; very lightly shaped fit just drapes so nice. Sleeves are long enough without being too long. Washes and hangs dry well with no shrinkage or loss of color.
November 24, 2014 - This Tee is just as described, good fit and well made; very comfortable - would recommend.
November 19, 2014 - I exchanged a jacket I did not like for this tee. They exchanged it very quickly. This is a nice tee, true to color brown shown. I ordered a L/EL because that is the size I wear in a jacket. It is a bit snug but will keep it don't want to get in to trying to shrink a larger size. Some stitching is wrong so only the 4 stars. I have my eye on two others. Just waiting for a sale and free shipping.
October 30, 2014 - I love these tops they are so unique and made of cotton a must in my book. The motives are so good and again unique you will not see yourself coming and going. I love the colour combinations. Plus it's all for a good cause. I do buy the size that always fits me so don't have a problem size wise. I bought the purple, but the brown one looks just as nice.

Cold case: East coast man found dead in Everglades still a mystery
The birds and animals cleared away the brush revealing the gruesome scene — a man's body, dumped next to a canal in eastern Collier County.
A Miccosukee Tribe worker made the discovery on Valentine's Day 2008, while driving down a frontage road along the L28 canal, about a mile north of Alligator Alley.
"He sees a bunch of birds working on what appears to be road kill, or some kind of dead animal," Collier Detective William Still said. "When he goes to investigate, he finds that it was, in fact, a body."
He had only been there a couple of days, Still said. The man had no identification, but a noticeable cyst on the side of his head.
Fingerprints and old booking photos lead detectives to the man's identity — Lloyd Charles Black, 56, a loner from Sunrise who suffered from schizophrenia and was known to mingle with a shady crowd.
"He basically hung out with people who were involved with drugs and prostitution and things of that nature," Still said.
Difficulties with dealing in multiple jurisdictions on the crowded East Coast of Florida and lack of cooperation by Black's former associates have added up to no arrests and few legitimate leads. In an effort to solve the case, the Sheriff's Office is featuring it as part of an ongoing push to generate renewed attention to some of its cold cases.
After identifying Black's body, Still served a search warrant at his Sunrise apartment. He has ruled out both the apartment and the Collier canal as the scene of the killing.
But while he won't say exactly how Black died, he is confident it wasn't an accident.
"It was obvious he died a violent death," Still said.
Thanks to the weather, detectives were able to gather little physical evidence from the recovery scene.
"It had been raining really hard the day before," Still said. "It wiped out any physical evidence that might have been there."
Frank Leahy, 56, who is Black's former neighbor and former friend, said he wasn't surprised when he heard that Black had been killed. Leahy described Black as a thief and a crackhead with a bad temper who "wasn't really a nice guy."
Black used to help Leahy out around the house, because Leahy said he is physically disabled. They used to hang out at horse and dog tracks, but Leahy said he started breaking things off when he got a better grasp of who Black really was.
Leahy said he doesn't know who killed Black.
"I heard that some drug dealers were after him. That's all I know," Leahy said. "As a matter of fact, he came over here a couple of times trying to borrow money. He just said he was in trouble."
Detectives are confident that Black's body was dumped over the Broward-Collier line. He had no connections to Collier County — everything he did was in the Sunrise area. He had no car and no job.
Black has family in the Fort Lauderdale area and a mother in New York who want justice, the Sheriff's Office reported.
"We're hoping that somebody, on our side of the state, that frequents some of these same locations ... through virtue of conversation and mere luck, that somebody's going to say, 'I know that guy, and I know what happened to him,'" Still said.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff's Office at (239) 793-9300, or call Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.

New PinPoint Lightning App Promotes Outdoor Safety with First Geo-Located Lightning Alerts for iPhone
MADISON, Wis., June 21 /PRNewswire/ — Coinciding with this year's Lightning Safety week, June 21-June 27, Weather Central's MyWeather.com division launches 2010 PinPoint Lightning(TM), the only iPhone application with live lightning strike data and alert notifications. 2010 PinPoint Lightning(TM) is the first app to register cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within 30 miles of a user's geo-located position and deliver rapid alerts enabling people to take immediate action to ensure their safety.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100210/NY53169LOGO )
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100210/NY53169LOGO )
From June 21-July 5, 2010; MyWeather.com is donating 10% of PinPoint Lightning's net sales to the Lightning Protection Institute, a non-profit lightning safety organization. The app is available via the iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/2010-pinpoint-lightning/id375144229?mt=8#.
Pinpoint Lightning uses patent-pending technology to identify a lightning strike's location by latitude and longitude, and then determine the nearest street intersection. The app sends alerts — displaying the time of lightning strikes and their distance from the user's current location. Immediately following these alerts the user sees a street level view of the most recent strike and a display with specific information; for example, "Lightning Strike, 1200 Main Street, 2 miles NW from Your Location at 2:06 PM."
In addition to geo-located notifications, the app is equipped with animated local and national radar displays as well as various terrain options. With the ability to save up to 10 locations, this application helps individuals make informed decisions about lightning dangers not only for themselves, but for loved ones as well. (Note: The App is operational in the Continental U.S. and Canada only and where a data connection is available.)
"Nearly 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur each year and it takes just one to change someone's life in an instant," stated Terry Kelly, Weather Central Chairman and CEO. "Weather Central is proud to be on the cutting edge of safety with the very first geo-located lightning application. Whether you're a parent, teacher, construction worker, coach, manager, pilot, golfer or grandparent, PinPoint Lightning will help you to make informed decisions during dangerous weather situations."
Lightning is the most deadly weather event on the planet, surpassing both tornadoes and hurricanes in yearly death toll averages for the past 30 years.* During the first half of 2010, lightning has killed seven individuals and injured 69 others.** With severe weather season underway, it's more important than ever to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of lightning.

Putting in Extra Time on the Wimbledon Court
Though Olympic tennis, unlike the Wimbledon tournament played on the same courts, is a best-of-three-set competition in men's singles, both tournaments eschew a final-set tiebreaker. At Wimbledon in 2010, that meant a 70-68 fifth set won by John Isner over Nicolas Mahut. At the Olympic tournament Tuesday, France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga outlasted Canada's Milos Raonic 25-23 in the deciding set. It was the longest set in Olympic history.
Britain's Best Athlete Is Not Running for Gold
One of Great Britain's star "athletes" returns to the track Wednesday but he won't be running for a gold medal. British super-horse Frankel, who is ranked the best race horse in the world, will face a field of only three other horses on Wednesday at England's Goodwood. Undefeated in 11 starts, the four year-old stands to become the only horse to win Wednesday's Qipco Sussex Stakes twice. But if Frankel notches his 12th win, trainer Sir Henry Cecil won't be there to see it, due to ongoing treatment for an illness, he said in a statement.
A Chance to Talk Trash to Your Fantasy Rivals
The NFL and Google are betting that fantasy football players want to see something they've never seen before online: their friends' faces. The league will add the "Google Hangouts" feature that will allow fantasy users on NFL.com to video chat with players in their league at any time. "The ability to draft face to face, to see your brother's reaction when you sneak Cam Newton (pictured) in front of him is literally a game changer," said Jeff Berman, head of NFL Digital Media.

It's probably just a bot testing out your website to see if it can be spammed. The text is probably unique so it can Google for it and if it finds it then the spammer knows your site can abused and will proceed to spam it with "real" spam. The whole process is probably automated.
There is no direct way to find spam attackers. You need to check the Drupal logs, from which you can get the IP address.
30x redirects are not harmful when used in this way. In fact, 30x redirects are very common and have a lot of positive SEO uses in certain circumstances.

The email system is not without problems, I just went through a lengthy exchange with different seller, but after reading some of the posts here I just mention it. Why is it so hard to just put a DLC code card in an envelope and a stamp? Cost would be less than a $1

Is it me or do others think sellers forget to realize sending things via email is not a guarantee that the contents will arrive or get to the intended party?
The email system is not without problems, I just went through a lengthy exchange with different seller, but after reading some of the posts here I just mention it. Why is it so hard to just put a DLC code card in an envelope and a stamp? Cost would be less than a $1
Costs of sending via email:
Your time - typing the code into an email
Computer/Internet/Etc. - Chances are this guy would have a computer and pay for an internet connection anyway. Therefore his business costs on it are minimal.
Costs of sending it via mail:
Envelopes: Looks like you can get 100 envelopes for $5 on Amazon. I'm sure costs down down if you buy in bulk from other suppliers.
Stamps: I'm assuming your suggestion is to send it via regular first class mail. $0.44 a stamp for letters. But wait, that's not good enough. You need confirmation. If USPS lets you do delivery confirmation on a normal letter (not sure that they do), thats $0.80 letter. If you have to do it certified mail, that's apparently $2.85 per letter. And even these aren't full proof. Things can be scanned wrong.
Printer/Ink/Labels: 750 mailing labels that can be printed on are $7 on Amazon. Factor in extra ink you wouldn't be using when you print. You're also going to need to use those labels to print up return address labels, or pay someone to make you a custom bunch.
Time: His time is worth something and he's going to spend a lot of time printing, stuffing, sealing, etc. If you've ever had to print, stamp, and stuff envelopes for a job or internship before, you know it can take a while.
Other overhead: Much like the computer/internet, I'll assume he works a car and gas into regular routines so this doesn't cost him much.
So... Cost of sending 750 codes via email: Whatever his time is worth going through the digital process of mailing 750 emails.
Cost of sending 750 codes via mail: $37.50 for envelopes, $930 for stamps and delivery confirmation, $14+ for both address and return labels. Plus whatever his time is worth for as long as it takes him to go through this whole physical process.
You're looking at probably at least $1000 when all is said and done. Yeah maybe you can get your costs down a bit if you buy stuff in bulk or can get some kind of discount rates. Even if you consider the time spent between the two as relatively equal, that's a lot of money that's not going into his pocket.
There are ways he can cover his bases with email. He could put it on the buyer to specify the exact email address it should be sent to. I assume that's what he does anyway, tying it to whatever email address the order and account information is being sent to. Most importantly, if someone emails claiming they didn't get their email with the code, HE COULD RESPOND BACK WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS and then re-forward them the exact email he already sent.
But this not answering emails, forcing people to try to PM him over CAG as a last resort, etc. is all shit customer service.
So you can't fault this guy trying to run a solo business for using email to send codes, because he's probably not raking in money hand over fist in his business and those extra expenses of mailing codes clearly add up.
But you can fault him for the shit customer service and other crap thats gone on.

@The_lawlbringer - I did email a code to your purchase email address earlier this week, not sure why you haven't received it. I issued your refund earlier today when I received the request, and I PM'd you the code through CAG so you can go ahead and keep it for free.
I understand there were issues in the past where I unknowingly sold illegitimate hard drives, or overpromised and underdelivered in regards to delivery dates. I apologize for those incidents, and for the last year at least I've moved towards offering mostly brand new games and accessories, or used games that are of good quality. I've stayed far away from anything that might be fake Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo products. There really haven't been any major issues lately, but I do know that some people are understandably still upset about past experiences.
I've been trying to scale back my focus on my website to fall more in line with what I can have the time to manage. For the last month or so, I have managed to ship out orders within 3 business days of when they were purchased. I have been promoting my site on CAG only when I feel I have a deal worth sharing with the CAG community, and when I know I have the time to dedicate towards filling any orders I receive.
I know some people had a beef with the titles I would use for my threads. Shrike helped me formulate a new format for my thread title, which included the shipping price and condition of the item being offered as well.
The other main complaint I've had about the deals I've run are my shipping costs. I admit, $4.99 was too much to charge to ship a game. I liked being able to offer low prices, but I know it left a bad taste in peoples' mouths once they'd see the shipping costs. Consumers are starting to expect retailers to building shipping prices into the product costs, and I want to start meeting this expectation.
That is why we have begun offering free shipping on everything on GameDealDaily.com. From now on, whenever I post a deal, all prices will now be the total price you will pay. No shipping costs added on at the end.
I know I don't have the time to make GameDealDaily a huge business, and I'm not going to pretend I can anymore. I'm definitely scaling back, but I do plan on running some good deals to coincide with the new free shipping format. If you have any unresolved issues with me, please send me a PM and I'll do what I can to take care of them.
Thank you

I'm going to close this thread for now and work on some of the behind the scenes parts of GameDealDaily, namely beefing up customer service so that we can meet the standards that are expected by CAGs while shopping online. GameDealDaily will remain open, but I feel like my time would be better spent towards improving our deficiencies rather than promoting the site. If you have any issues with an order, please don't hesitate to contact me through PM here on CAG and I will be sure to take care of it for you. Take care and I will definitely be back in a few months to offer everyone some great deals and customer service.

NBA's Collins hopes other gay players will come out now
More News from Agence France-Presse
WASHINGTON — Basketball center Jason Collins said in an interview broadcast Tuesday he's never been happier after his ground-breaking announcement that he is gay, and hopes other pro athletes will now come out, too.
Collins told ABC television that coming out lifted a huge weight off his shoulders and that he had spent years hiding the truth so well that even his twin brother Jarron did not know Collins was homosexual.
"I'm really good at playing it straight," Collins said with a hearty laugh in the interview on the "Good Morning America" program. Brother Jarron has reportedly said he has never been prouder of his brother, who is the elder of the two by eight minutes.
Collins dropped his bombshell Monday in an essay published on Sports Illustrated magazine's website. He thus became the first active player in a major American professional team sport to reveal he is gay.
He has received broad support in America. Collins is now a free agent who has played for six NBA teams over the past 12 seasons. He finished this last season with the Washington Wizards.
"I know that I, right now, am the happiest that I've ever been in my life," Collins said. "A huge weight has been lifted. I've already been out to my family and my friends, but just to, you know, sort of rip the Band-Aid off and come out on my own terms."
He said he expects his colleagues in the NBA to support and respect him, and that he hopes other gay athletes will follow in his footsteps.
"You're sort of waiting around for somebody else to raise their hand," he said.
"I'm ready to raise my hand but, you know, you still look around like, 'OK, come on, guys.' It's time for someone else in the room to raise their hand and say, 'You know what? Yeah, so big deal. I can still play basketball. I can still help the team win, and that's what's most important,'" Collins added.
Collins dismissed the idea that it might be harder now for him to land a contract with a team during the off season.
"The NBA is like a brotherhood," he said. "And I'm looking at it that we'll all support each other on and off the court."
Among those who expressed support for Collins on Monday was US President Barack Obama, who called him to say he was impressed by his courage, the White House said.
The revelation has drawn comparisons to the way the spotlight shone on Jackie Robinson in 1947 when he became Major League Baseball's first black player.

That's the point at Good Housekeeping -- always has been -- to hold products accountable. It was testing food safety before there was an Food and Drug Administration. It pulled cigarette ads a dozen years before the first surgeon general's report. And it blew the whistle on Pirate's Booty several years ago when the company claimed that it had 2.5 grams of fat per serving, when there were really more than 8 grams. The company that makes Pirate's Booty, Robert's American Gourmet, said the mistake was due to a manufacturing error, and the label was corrected.
When asked whether manufacturers are afraid of the magazine, Ellis said, "I hope so, in a healthy fearful kind of way."
"I want manufacturers to respect us and understand that if they submit their product for scrutiny that it definitely is going to be put through the wringers here, that's our job," she said. "That's what we should do."
"Getting messy is definitely easier than cleaning up," said Carolyn Forte, the director of the home appliances and cleaning products department. "That takes us no time. We put soils onto things, we really bake it on, let it sit on, dry it on, so we know that we're really giving the products a challenge."
By the way, the hardest thing to get out? Mustard.
And when Forte tests vacuums, there's a precise recipe of dirt, a precise way of messing up the sample and a very precise machine to run the vacuums.
"This way we know for every test it was done at the same speed, same rate, same number of passes, there is no room for human error," she said.
You name the product, Good Housekeeping tests it. From food labeling to infra-red wrinkle removers.
"You're supposed to move it around your face for 18 minutes every day for 30 days," said Birnal Aral, the director of the health and beauty lab. Testers complained that it was too time-consuming.
The person with the coolest job? Todd Kent, the senior test engineer, and the only male tester we met. The consumer electronics he tests may look like boy toys, but he said he's testing ease of use for everyone.
"We're really looking at how easy they are to use, and how they're going to make your life faster, simpler or just save your time," he said. "And that's what our reader is looking for."
Kent showed us the test for how computers work in a heat chamber with 90-degree humidity. And then the ultimate tester's dream: Kent gets to break stuff.
"So here we have some toys," he said. "And the main part about this test is that we drop it several times at several different orientations. After it drops, the main thing that we are looking for is not to see if it works, or if it broke, but if it broke into small pieces that could be a choking hazard for a small child."
Some things survive. Others, not so much.
It may seem a little like a game, but it's not for Good Housekeeping or its 25 million readers.

A self styled 'major' of NSCN(IM) was killed and five others apprehended in an encounter with a joint team of Assam Rifles and Territorial Army in Nagaland's Mon district on Thursday, Assam Rifles (AR) sources said.
The Assam Rifles and Territorial Army jawans observed movement of armed militants near the Tizet post at Punjma colony.
They asked the militants to stop but instead the militants opened fire and joint security forces returned the fire in which a NSCN(IM) self styled major was killed, Assam Rifles Spokesman Lt Col A K Choudhury told PTI at the AR headquarters here.
Five cadres of the NSCN(IM), which is under ceasefire, were arrested in the operation.
Three AK56 rifles, two mortars guns, two single barrel guns, two grenades, 649 rounds of motor shells, 308 rounds of .303 rifle and 21 rounds of M16 rifle ammunition were seized from the militants, he said.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Keith L. Bailey, DVM, PhD, DACVP (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: The second edition of this book provides a comprehensive, detailed description of the most relevant infectious diseases of dogs and cats with the primary objective of providing diagnostic information to clinicians in a format that is readily accessible and includes the most current antimicrobial drugs available for treatment. The second edition provides expanded information on several topics which were briefly discussed in the first edition, published in 1990.
Purpose: The editor states that the emphasis of the book is "on diagnosis and treatment of canine and feline infections" and that "modifications have been made to improve the readability and clinical usefulness of the book." He is quite successful in achieving this goal. Coverage of specific topics is broad and detailed. Particular attention is given to providing drug dosage tables, including a comprehensive drug formulary.
Audience: The target audience includes veterinary students, interns, residents, and small animal practitioners. The broad scope of this book and the wealth of current literature not only provide a foundation for students learning the principles of infectious disease at a molecular level, but also provide valuable information regarding the treatment of a variety of canine and feline infectious diseases.
Features: Not unlike the first edition, the second edition contains five sections; however, the order has slightly changed. Of particular interest to today's clinicians and diagnosticians is the updated information on molecular and genetic techniques and their application in disease pathogenesis and the development of diagnostic tests. A new addition to this edition is an exhaustive, worldwide formulary of antimicrobial drugs and their manufacturers. The most significant shortcoming of this edition is the omission of valuable references from the text and list of references. The editor states that references were omitted to reduce the size, and ultimately, the cost of the book.
Assessment: While this book is a must for small animal interns, residents, practitioners, and diagnosticians, it will prove to be a valuable resource to veterinary students. The current, expanded coverage of the second edition warrants replacement of the original edition.
