Do you think Peter Jackson's Hobbit films will be big successes?

National News
The curtain has come down the premiere of The Hobbit, after a huge day in Wellington.
Stars signed autographs, fans cheered and Andy Serkis ran along the carpet high-fiving people. Wellington celebrated in style.
Throughout the sweltering day – by Wellington standards that is, with the mercury nudging 22C – the crowd kept growing, eventually getting close to an estimated 100,000, creating a scene reminiscent of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King premiere in 2003.
''This is echoing in the past for me,'' Elijah Wood, who plays Frodo, said.
Serkis said Wellington felt like home. "It's fantastic, I don't really ever feel that I've left. I've spent seven birthdays here since 1999."
"The Return of the King was fantastic, but this is equally great. That people are willing to turn up and celebrate that these films have been made. They belong to New Zealand, and they belong to Wellington and it's just great to share it."
But despite the number of spectators, police reported well-behaved crowds - something the film's lead actor Martin Freeman, who plays Bilbo Baggins, commented on.
''For a baying mob, they are very well-behaved.''
A spokesman for Wellington Free Ambulance said it had been a very quiet day. They treated four people for a mild heat exhaustion, but they were back in the crowd after fluids.
With some in the crowd having camped out overnight to nab the best spots, the party atmosphere kicked of long before the A-listers arrived, with the film's trailer and musician Neil Finn helping keep the crowds entertained.
The red carpet walk officially began at 4.30pm, with many of the big names among the first to arrive.
For most it took about two hours to walk the 500m stretch to the Embassy Theatre, as the headline names stopped to talk to fans and sign a multitude of autographs.
The film's director, Sir Peter Jackson, said there was no better place to release the film.
''It's the home crowd isn't it? You can't do better.''
But during speeches before the screening, he admitted he had little choice in where the premiere would be held.
''I do know that if I didn't have a movie here for the premiere, I'd be in awful trouble. I'd be in the poo, as we say.''
Work on the film had gone down to the wire, and he had only seen a full version a few days ago.
''It was OK.''
Jackson said he didn't want to think about the fact that The Hobbit had almost been made in the UK.
"It came very close to it a couple of years ago, but we're just really lucky that we're having a supportive country and I think the right decision was made and I am very glad to be here today in Wellington and the home crowd came out to celebrate with us and that is very humbling."
He admitted feeling nervous ahead of tonight's premiere: "Yes, I am feeling nervous, it will be the first time I will be seeing the movie with an audience, I only just finished it, so I am very nervous.
"Once the film is out and a lot of people are seeing it, it becomes almost owned almost by the cinema-goers of the world. At the moment it just has left our hands."
Of the red-carpet reception, Dean O'Gorman - who plays the young dwarf Fili in the film - said "I didn't know what to expect, how would you prepare for something like this?".
The actor had already seen the movie and said he fell in love with the new 48-frames-per-second 3D. "It was great. Initially it's different but it's so clear and you really see everything and it's amazing."
But, for many in the cast tonight, it would be their first viewing of the film.
''I'm hoping I'm still in this film,'' Barry Humphries said.
Others to grace the red carpet included Cate Blanchett, who turned heads in a dress with a red chiffon top, white midriff and long black skirt.
She said she was excited to see the movie, but sad that Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf, wasn't there for the premiere.
But Sir Ian was there in spirit, sending a video message from London.
''I wish I were there in my spiritual home in Wellington.''
Viewers were in for a treat, he said.
The first screenings started at 7.30pm in both the Reading and Embassy cinemas.

What's in Store for Cloud Telephony in 2013: Big Data, Big Analytics and Big Push Toward Best Practices, CallFire Says
Santa Monica, CA, Dec 17, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Cloud telephony - among the most important recent innovations in telecommunications - is poised for a banner year in 2013, thanks in part of the role so-called "big data" will play in improving the quality and depth of analytics and telecom applications.
So says cloud telephony pioneer CallFire (
in a series of 2013 market predictions. According to CEO and co-founder Dinesh Ravishanker, winners in the year ahead will be those organizations that successfully apply the latest tools to extract meaningful information from massive stores of user data, to foster conversion and improved business decision-making.
Among the trends to watch: 1. Phone call data mining/analytics.
While analytics tools abound for PPC and general conversion purposes, look for movement toward comprehensive telephony solutions that mine big data and help businesses make better decisions. Applying call attributes will enable useful conversion analytics in cloud telephony, Ravishanker suggests. "What call time leads to the greatest number of conversions In what regions of the country Among which demographic groups Given that there are literally billions of call attributes, in 2013 look for the industry to begin to present this kind of data in a meaningful way." 2. Push notification in SMS.
Geo-location - long a mainstay in SMS text message - has proved increasingly important for deals providers like Groupon, Living Social and the like. According to CallFire's Ravishanker, push notification is likely to be the next realm of innovation left in text messaging - "assuming people opt-in, that the opt-in request is effective and inoffensive, and that privacy is absolutely respected." 3. Interactive voice broadcast applications.
Voice broadcast applications are typically one-way, but that may be about to change. "Determining who is actually responding to a voice broadcast message is key, especially when notifying masses of people affected by an emergency," Ravishanker says. "If you have that data and determine what the individual's status is - via text messages as well as the phone -- you can take the voice broadcast app to another level. In the floods in Pakistan, SMS users were able to get more info than voice broadcast recipients because they were mobile. Look for voice broadcast applications to begin to close the loop in 2013." 4. The death of downtime.
With the cloud's emphasis on redundant databases and servers, telephony uptime is increasing exponentially, so in 2013, phone service that simply doesn't go down will become the status quo. "Greater reliability means developers won't have the same worries about infrastructure issues and will instead be able to spend more time architecting more elegant solutions," Ravishanker says. "That in turn will mean that businesses can scale up more rapidly than ever before, and support an unprecedented volume of calls. The death of downtime really signifies the maturity of cloud telephony." 5. The emergence of best practices.
The era of big data and the death of downtime will make it more important than ever that organizations embrace industry best practices in all aspects of cloud telephony. Observes Ravishanker, "In 2013, responsible voice broadcasting will be an absolutely essential first step. As innovation opens up a greater ability to target -- and provides greater insights into user behavior, in the aggregate -- the bar has been raised. Every cloud telephony provider needs to educate its customers on the right use of its platform, to protect privacy and to ensure that these powerful technologies deliver on their promise - an especially crucial imperative as the FTC looks at robocall abuses." About CallFire: CallFire (callfire.com) simplifies telephony, making sophisticated, expensive carrier class telecom capabilities available through an affordable, easy-to-use GUI and API platform. Any business, from start-up to enterprise, can reach its customers on any device, using text messaging or voice, with CallFire's massively scalable, cloud telecom platform.

A lot to be thankful for: Happier and healthier LeAnn Rimes snuggles up to husband Eddie Cibrian in romantic Thanksgiving snap
LeAnn Rimes has a lot to be thankful for.
Following her rehab stint in August, she has been looking happy and healthier of late.
And the country music star couldn't have been more blissful than in the arms of her beloved husband Eddie Cibrian to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Happy and healthier: LeAnn Rimes and her husband Eddie Cibrian cuddle up for a romantic Thanksgiving snap
The 30-year-old singer posted a picture of herself and her handsome hubby cuddling up for a happy snap.
She captioned the snap: 'Happy Thanksgiving from the Cibrian's.'
In the photograph, LeAnn is wearing very little make-up and looks pretty and demure in a cream lace top.
The look is a far cry from her usual over-styled and over made-up look.
Meanwhile, hunky actor Eddie shows off his muscular frame in a V-neck charcoal top.
Holiday cheer: The country music star wished all her fans a happy holiday
Before the pair got stuck into their Thanksgiving feast, they started off the day with a healthy breakfast.
'My hubby got up and made me a healthy breakfast this morning. We know what's coming today. @KimsBeautyDetox we had our green drink,' she tweeted in the morning.
Meanwhile, Eddie's ex-wife Brandi Glanville professed her distaste for traditional Thanksgiving fare.
Health nuts: Before the pair got stuck into their Thanksgiving feast, they started off the day with a healthy breakfast
'Ive been cooking all day but the sad thing is I dont really like Turkey or stuffing :/' she wrote on the social networking site.
Brandi and Eddie share two sons together, Mason Edward, nine, and Jake Austin, five.
It is unknown which parent the children will be spending Thanksgiving with, but in the past they have often spent holidays with Eddie and their stepmother LeAnn.
LeAnn has remained relatively out of the spotlight since entering rehab back in August.
Not a fan of turkey then? Meanwhile, Eddie's ex-wife Brandi Glanville professed her distaste for traditional Thanksgiving fare
She is known to regularly tweet pictures of herself in a bikini or snuggling up with her husband, but has been low-key on the social networking site.
LeAnn opened up about checking into rehab to treat anxiety and stress during a recent interview with Katie Couric, where she said: 'I feel like I am starting over even though I've had all these years behind me. How many people get to [start] over again in this day and age?
She added: 'I've been in therapy my whole life. I like going.
'I like being able to have that third-party input and someone to listen that has nothing to do with your life.
'Everyone has an opinion of how I am and how I should be, and now I'm focusing on how I want to be.'
A lot to be thankful for: Since leaving rehab, LeAnn has been looking a lot healthier and happier

The first customer, Wakefield, went live on the EDI-Hub on 10th July 2012 and in November a milestone was already reached when Axiell processed the 5,000th file received through the Hub, followed swiftly by the 10,000th file by the end of 2012.
Over 30 customers (around one third of the customer base) are already live on the EDI-Hub, including Devon, Dublin City, members of the London Libraries Consortium, as well as Surrey and Wakefield.
Customers can either take the EDI-Hub as part of a managed service or as a standalone solution. Both are designed to integrate with Axiell's OpenGalaxy library management system, with the managed service having the added benefit of Axiell ensuring that the files are processed successfully and removing from the library the burden of running a PC-based EDI software solution.

Britain's secret German armyBreaking News
There is that wonderful line in Kubrick's Dr Strangelove when the American president admonishes the Soviet ambassador and one of his Air Force generals for wrestling over a spy camera: "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here – this is the War Room."
It was Ken Adam who came up with the design for that simple but unforgettable set: a dark, oppressive, cavernous chamber dominated by a huge, circular conference table and giant, glowing wall maps marking the approach of nuclear Armageddon.
Adam, 88, is the only German to have served as a pilot in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. As a Sergeant Pilot in 609 Squadron, flying Typhoon fighter-bombers on low-level strikes across northern France, he would have been put in front of a firing squad if captured and identified. Jewish-born but still the holder of a German passport, he was to the Nazis a traitor.
Some 10,000 men and women from Germany and Austria, Jews and other opponents of the Nazi regime, fought in British uniform. As "friendly enemy aliens" they could not be compelled to join up. All were volunteers, representing almost one in eight of the 78,000 German and Austrian nationals who fled to Britain before September 1939.
The King's uniform did not confer British nationality. Those who wanted to make Britain their permanent home were granted passports only after the war. Hated and persecuted in their homeland and treated with suspicion in their adopted country, they lived out the war in a kind of limbo, uncertain as to what the future held. What drove them was an absolute detestation of Nazism.
Sir Ken is one of a handful of veterans featured in Churchill's German Army, a documentary chronicling this most curious of Allied contingents. It is 75 years since he left Germany but he still speaks with a soft German accent.

A giant snakehead fish (the "Jaws" of freshwater fish in Southeast Asia) was caught by a fisherman in England. The snakehead hooked in a river caused a panic in the Midlands and created something of a "Snakes on the Plains" buzz online. The British Environment Agency tried to assuage fears of a snakehead invasion but many of us here in Islington (London SES) remain scared out of our wits secure in the knowledge the Thames River is only kilometres away.
The giant snakehead has been known to crawl on land.
Snakehead fish can grow to more than 5 feet in length. Sharp teeth make the snakehead a feared predator of other river dwellers.
FOG (Fear of Google) was one of the themes of the Orion Panel (All Star Analytics Team). London FOG reminded me of the giant snakehead fish. Consumers, corporations and regulatory bodies often have an irrational fear of Google.
They say Google will invade privacy and destroy our natural Internet habitat. Companies fear the mega-search engine will use Google Analytics, Google Conversion Optimizer and Google Checkout to artificially inflate keyword prices. In short, to rig the keyword auction. They worry Google will prey on competitors and customers alike.
With respect to privacy, Jim Sterne of Target Marketing and chairman of the Web Analytics Association put it best:
"Why would I worry about Google knowing what I search for? The privacy issue is that I'm upset the bank knows how much money I have?"
There were no conspiracy theorists in the audience. Brian Clifton, Google's head of Web Analytics, EMEA, didn't even have to defend Google's honor.
Nor did Ian Thomas, Microsoft's director oif customer intelligence attempt to exploit the climate of fear.
Bryan Eisenberg, co-founder, Future Now noted Google needs to be more transparent. Separation of church and state may be tough when Google has so many evangelists, not only in their employ but among brand-loyal consumers.
Google dominates the European and UK search landscape. As scary as the giant snakefish may be, here's the key takeaway:
The more you know, the less you fear.

Blood Drip Earrings DIY!
How about some Blog Drip Earrings? I'm normally not the scary-creepy type when it comes to Halloween, but I must be feeling a little frisky these days because this project definitely does not lean on the cutesy side. I've been playing with hot glue a lot lately and whipped up these earrings that look like dripping blood. The red paint really makes them stand out! I'd say if you are in need of a costume this year but don't want to go full throttle – why not just make a pair of these and call it a night?

"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke
Thought food…
The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

You've probably seen web apps that have an "email dropbox". Users can send email to a special address like 'email@example.com' and the message will be parsed and inserted into their account as a comment, to-do, etc.
We're trying to build something like this, and wondering which way would be best? Is the 'email@example.com' an actual defined email account or an alias? Or is it neither and they use a catch-all email account and then simply parse the 'To' address to determine which account to associate it with? Could it also be a defined email box called 'dropbox' and because they're using dynamic sub-domains, all of the emails are delivered to one big inbox and then parsed based on the messages 'To' address?

The various parts that make up a woodwind instrument have improved tremendously over the past century. Take ligatures and caps, for example. Ligatures are devices that clamp your reed and mouthpiece together and hold them in place. Early on, ligatures were made of twine that was wrapped and tied over the reed. Today, ligatures are made of metal and they're beautifully crafted to fit securely yet also be easily adjusted if necessary (many manufacturers even claim that their ligatures can enhance your sound). In fact, the same can be said about caps; today's models are exceptionally designed and made of flexible materials - so they won't easily break or chip.
If you're searching for a new ligature or cap, you'll find more than enough choices in these pages. There are ligature and caps here to fit every taste and price range from respected manufactures like BG, Vandoren, Rovner, Theo Wayne and countless others. Ultimately, the right one for you will depend on the instrument you play, how much you're willing to spend and what you like from an esthetic standpoint. If you're a tenor saxophonist who wants a ligature and cap in the $25 - $50 range, check out a popular seller like the Rovner Versa Tenor Saxophone Ligature and Cap. Designed for optimal control (especially at loud volumes), the ligature in this set is even equipped with an adaptable pressure plate system that's capable of six different tones.
Or, if the Bb clarinet is your woodwind instrument of choice, another option in the same price range mentioned above is the Vandoren M/O Series Clarinet Ligature. Combining the lightweight construction of the legendary Masters Series ligature with the first-class tightening of the OPTIMUM Series ligature, this advanced model allows your reed to vibrate freely and produce a crisp, articulate tone.
There are many other affordable models here as well, including ligatures and caps in the $300 - $500 price range. Whether you play the alto, soprano, baritone or tenor sax, you'll find a ligature and cap here. Or, whether you play the Bb, Eb, alto, or bass clarinet, your choices here are extensive as well. With a little time and careful consideration to each of your options, the right ligature and cap for your instrument will be found in no time flat.

Meth manufacturing components seized in NilesPublished 8:00am Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Authorities say components used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine were found at a residence at 2039 Lewis Drive in Niles Township Tuesday afternoon.
According to Lt. James Zehm, of the Berrien County Sheriff's Department's Narcotics Unit, a search warrant was executed at the address, a single story home located near the Oak Manor Sixth Grade Center, at around 3:30 p.m.
Zehm said components indicating the cooking of meth were found, but no finished product was found at the home.
An elderly male homeowner was at the residence when police arrived. Zehm said the owner was not taken into custody. Authorities would like to question another male subject who lives at the home, but was not present at the time of the search warrant, he said.
At around 5:15 p.m., officers were in the process of safely disposing of what they deemed to be hazardous material that was found in the residence
The narcotics unit was assisted by the Berrien County Sheriff's Department Niles Township Patrol.

So a couple of our friends, my DH, and I are doing a weight loss competition. We decided to do this diet that's all a well balanced diet with good carbs, fruits, veggies, clean meats etc. that part I'm not worried about at all as long as I'm getting enough calories. One recommendation of the diet is to take metabolic boosting Shakes. The shakes are all natural as well but I'm very to drink them because I don't know the effects it has on my breast milk. The shakes have fruits, almond milk, cinnamon, honey. Any advice here?

If that above is all of the ingredients in the shakes, you will have no problem! The diet sounds very nutritious. Make sure your calorie intake doesn't dampen your supply, hydrate, and you should be good to go!

Hershey's Kiss Hinged Box (Silver) Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament or Personalized Gift
Between 1942 and 1949, Hershey's Kisses stopped being made because the foil wrapper became a scarce raw material during the war years and were rationed. This hinged box can be used as an ornament or package for a small gift or money. Any chocolate lover or chocoholic will love this personalized Hershey's kiss ornament that permanently says HERSHEY'S on the white strip that comes out of the top of the wrapped kiss. We can personalize this hinged box ornament with a name or personal saying and you can put a favorite piece of chocolate inside, money inside or even use this ornament as a proposal and put a diamond engagement ring inside. The possibilities are endless!
Material: Resin

The two-shelved Ceeley Collection Tempered Glass Shelf is a great way to add style and space to your bathroom. Featuring a simple, yet modern design, this shelf is perfect in any style home. The decorative railings also help prevent toiletries from falling.
Ships in 1 - 2 Business Days
Great additionThe shelf was a great addition to our bathroom remodel. Well made, arrived quickly. It did take awhile to figure out the best installation but my husband likes challenges.
Looks GreatI love the shelf. It is beautiful and very functional. However, directions stink! No template or written instructions. Only a small diagram. .
Just the right touch!Just what we were looking for for our bathroom! Fit perfectly above the toilet. Made of quality materials. Very pleased.
Great productLove the shelf unit but the lack of instructions is ridiculous. My very handy husband drew up his own template first and that works. The manufacture needs to add a template and better instructions.
Nice shelf with extremely poor instructionsThe holes to tighten mounts to rod are not aligned causing a cockeyed glass shelf mount. No dimensions for alignment of holes. Should provide a template or at least dimensions.
Template Not SuppliedNice shelf! Love the two I purchased; however the manufacture DOES NOT provide a template to locate the screws for mounting.
Good ValueThis shelf is well constructed and attractive for the price. I would have rated it higher but, although I have some 40 yrs experience doing things around the house, I found it very difficult to install in terms of aligning all the mounting plates. It was hard to get everything straight and level. A template would have been a great help. Nevertheless a very good value that arrived very promptly.
Excellent PurchaseThis shelf set is exactly as described, well-made and looks great. Picture instructions were limited (no text), but if you can install a towel bar, you can do this. Fast shipping, great service, fair price - internet shopping as it SHOULD be. Thanks. I am very pleased.
Attractive shelfAttractive and well made. Somewhat difficult to assemble and install with minimal instructions. Otherwise, pleased with this product.

I'm a married 45 yr old Australian male of good fitness and health (BMI=25). Although I probably wouldn't say I had erectile dysfunction, I found our sex life non-existent and found after only one very short 'round' I just couldn't get it up again. After taking Viagra from http://newqualityedmeds.info - AMAZING. It was like my body was 18 yrs old again. First erection after ~50minutes from taking the pill and the erections of steel easily lasted about 8-10 hours. My wife does not know I have taken Viagra but was pleasantly shocked by about 6 'full on' rounds in bed in 10 hours! Thanks for advice.
#16 Apr 22, 2012
I can recommend a reputable Internet Pharmacy. I've tried both original brand and generic Viagra. There is no difference in effectiveness as far as I can tell between the brand and Generic versions. The real difference is price, no comparison. And this suppliers seem honest and reliable. On the site http://www.s-sildenafil.info I've just placed my 3rd order. Viagra from this site is indeed good for male erection problem treatment.
I hope this info will be of any help to the community.
#18 Jun 3, 2012
I tried generic Viagra from http://ed-airstorepills.info It helped me greatly. This is the most reliable and trusted online pharmacy you could ever think of. They perfectly work! I have found them very good value for money.
Free airmail shipping.
#20 Jul 28, 2012
I have used http://goodgeneric.com for about 3 years and find their products to be reliable and speedily delivered. The Support team are very promt and helpful in solving any issues that arise,caused by my errors not the company's. I was a little sceptical initially about buying generic products rather than brand names. However, the Mens' Health products I have bought have been equally as efficatious as the brand names at a fraction of the cost.

I would recommend http://orderedmeds.com . Excellent service, lowest price, product arrives within 2 weeks in plain envelope. They are the sole of discretion. Believe me, I have used them several times, not that I need them but wow.
#38 Feb 19, 2013
I have ordered prescription drugs (without a prescription) online from http://edx-airstorepills.info about two years ago, and was pleased with the speed and quality of service.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my medication. The meds is expensive, but there is a generic version available overseas.
I love the idea of taking responsibility for my own health (or lack of health) and skipping the bureaucracy... to say nothing of having to drive to the doctor, wait in line, yet again, to get a prescription refilled.
#39 Apr 8, 2013
First time I took Viagra from http://edx-airstorepills.info it took 30 to 40 mins to work. Work very well for me with no side effects. Was able to have sex more then once. My partner is also very pleased with the results.
#43 Aug 1, 2013
Recently I tried to re-order meds on the s-sildenafil.info website and was surprised to find out that it did not work. So, I contacted technical support via e-mail to find out what was wrong. Then I got the answer that the website was closed due to the appeal of competing companies, and that at that moment it was impossible to resolve this issue. I very much liked high-quality meds offered on this website, and I asked them to send me a link to the new address of this online store. In response, I was sent to this new address newsildenafil.com . Again, I was able to shop there.
If you are already a client, discounts you earned for shopping there will be preserved in full. I hope this information will be helpful for those who faced a similar problem when re-ordering.
#47 Aug 7, 2013
Naturally, I am skeptical of everything online. http://edx-airstorepills.com is legitimate. I placed my first order for the smallest amount possible. It arrived sooner than expected. I didn't pay the extra money for speedy air mail. I placed another order that was much larger and it came right on time. I will definitely use this company again for even larger orders now that I trust them. They also give you discounts every time you place an order which is cool. One thing to keep in mind is if you place a larger order, they will send half in one shipment, and then the other half after that to avoid customs scrutinizing your package. I am very happy, I no longer need to pay tons of money to see a doctor and therapist (and have them tell me a bunch of stuff I already know) in order to get my medication.
#50 Aug 21, 2013
I've been using expresspharmax.com for awhile now, and so far they have not let me down. The constant refill reminders via e-mail are a bit irritating, but other than that, the product is as promised and delivery is very fast. I like the fact that they're easy to reach by phone, too, in case I need to check an order or ask a billing question.
#54 Aug 28, 2013
I ordered Cialis soft tabs from http://goo.gl/I9xquY once in the past and they arrived in about 2 weeks, no customs payable and they seem as good as the non generic product. An acknowledgment of my order would have been nice but when i phoned them they were polite and reassuring. I used the trackable service.

My first order from SELLPHARMA . COM went well. The pills worked great. For my second order I ordered a larger quantity and the pills had no affect altough customer service was very helpful and sent a replacement order and the pills worked. I just placed my third order (with 10% off for the repeat discount).
I lost $180 at a different site before these guys so I was happy to find the good reviews and have two sets of pills work great (after the replacement). If this order goes well I will place a larger order so I don't have to order so frequently.
#61 Sep 5, 2013
Always great to purchase online from a site that actually delivers what you order. I was more than happy with the service from http://goo.gl/qJ3Zrx and the pills worked as expected. For genuine generic medication, this is the place to be. I'll stick with what I know for the future.
#64 Sep 14, 2013
Cialis from RXPILL911 . COM worked great! Took the first dose and an hour later got a firm and lasting erection. Made love to my wife like never before. Did cause delayed ejaculation, but my wife did not complain. Headache and heartburn improved after about 5 days of use. Definitely recommend.

I just keynoted the World Congress on Mass Customization and Personalization in Munich. It was wonderful to meet so many smart people, all thinking about the issues surrounding Mass Customization (MC) and personalization.
MC is a fast-growing trend. What is it? Practitioners include companies like Lands End, whose "Lands End Custom" will custom build clothing for your exact measurements and style preferences. Adidas has custom shoes, Levi's makes custom jeans, Bivolino.com makes custom-tailored business shirts. Some at the conference predicted mass production will morph into mass customization quite rapidly. I don't agree. There will always be a need for mass-produced goods, especially where brand status and vanity items are concerned. I have plenty to say about mass customization as a concept, but I'm not sure readers are interested in the topic. If you are, would you send me an email?
The other half of the conference concerned personalization, which is more about the one-on-one interaction with customers than about a customized final product. In my address, I proffered that a company in the business of mass customization must also offer a highly personalized Web experience to be successful. Why? Users want to have closer relationships with companies that customize products just for them.
The example I used to highlight this need was from a Web site I've mentioned before, PrintingForLess.com. I used this company last year to print full-color business cards for myself and my employees. Printing is one of the oldest forms of mass customization, and PrintingForLess.com has all the hallmarks of a mass customization company:
- It offers many products that can be user-customized.
- It offers a choice between using design templates and starting from scratch.
- It has an online configuration tool that lets you set specifications and choose options for the final product.
- It produces the product and ships it directly from the factory.
But the site fails in personalization and customer relationship management (CRM). I ordered several cards last year for my employees, but the site considered each a separate job. The company is so product-centric (as many mass customizers are), it forgets to close the loop with the customer.
Mass customizers need to be at once product-centric and user-focused. I don't have a user account at PrintingForLess.com. No one does. The concept doesn't exist on the site. This means there's nowhere I can go to see how many cards I ordered before, what printing options I chose, or how much I paid. I can't simply request the company print me more cards. In the printing industry (or any industry that makes replenishable goods), this is a gross oversight.
One question raised at the conference was this: Customized products might be a differentiator now, but what happens when every company can make customized clothing, customized bags, etc.? What happens when customized products become a commodity? How will you differentiate?
I look to PrintingForLess.com as a harbinger of those times. Printing business cards is, arguably, already a commodity. Every professional printer pretty much has the same printing capabilities. All the online printers have configuration tools that work more or less the same way. I have all the original files I sent to PrintingForLess.com. What's to stop me from sending them to another printer?
A personalized user experience with a good CRM system in place could be the answer. If PrintingForLess.com kept my information on file, reminded me after nine months that it's easy to order reprints of my cards, and otherwise tried to sustain a relationship with me, I wouldn't be writing a column about them.
Too many mass customizers are content to say they offer personalized user experiences because their products are customized. There's a vast difference, however, between a personalized product and a personalized process. Real customer relationships are formed through interaction and by anticipating user needs, not by providing custom products.
Anyone know of a good printer?
Until next time…

Newbie question about automatic exposure
Started Jun 1, 2012 | Discussions thread

Re: Newbie question about automatic exposure
Assuming you've checked all of your other settings (auto iso, exposure comp, etc.) to make sure something is not constraining the auto exposure, one thing it could be is that this shot includes a large expanse of what might be a wall painted white or a very light color. The auto exposure system assumes there is a normal distribution of tones in your scene, and sets the exposure such that the areas chosen for the exposure calculation (what areas they are depends on your auto exposure settings - multizone, center, etc.) should be exposed so the average works out to grey (like the old 18% grey reflectance cards). This might result in the overall image looking dark, if there are large areas of white in the scene.

Company says new chips bypass iOS 7 authentication
A developer has released Lightning cables that allegedly bypass iOS 7's new authentication feature, which warns users about non-certified Lightning accessories. iPhone5mod.com claims that it has cracked the chips, allowing the cables to bypass Apple's authentication process. Apple could fix the iOS 7 software to identify these cables, but it's likely that unlicensed developers will keep tweaking their products in efforts to bypass the warnings. [via 9to5Mac]

Texas Man Builds Train To Entertain Rescue Dogs [VIDEO]
80 year old Ft Worth man has an interesting way of entertaining his 9 rescue dogs.
80 year old Ft Worth man has an interesting way of entertaining his 9 rescue dogs.
This is the most perfect video the internet has ever seen.
Fear of spiders is nothing new. This reaction to seeing one of our eight-legged friend, though, is.
It sounds like the beginning of a political joke, but...
You've just been bitten by a shark -- what do you do? If you're this guy, you share the absolutely horrifying result with the internet.
Shirts, pants...dogs?
There's a lot of videos out there of police acting inappropriately. This isn't one of them.
It's a video...of goats...in a tree. Do we need to say anything else?
It's tale of a lost dog, a frustrated owner and a beleaguered non-profit agency.
The last surviving rescue dog who worked Ground Zero after 9/11 just turned 16, so she was flown to New York and thrown a huge birthday party.
Sometimes, animals rise above the ranks of cute and head straight for the halls of history.
It's definitely a view you haven't seen before....hopefully.
