FILE - In tjis Oct. 20, 1999, file photo, Neal Kunzendorf makes peg holes for the net in preparation for the Los Angeles Kings home-opening NHL hockey game against the Boston Bruins at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. With three permanent sports teams and a jam-packed slate of concerts and shows, Staples Center is always among the world's busiest arenas, but this weekend will be the craziest on record. After a remarkable run of postseason success, the NBA's Lakers and Clippers and the NHL's Kings are combining to host six playoff games in a jaw-dropping four days _ and with a major cycling race finishing right outside the building Sunday, no less.

Here are genuine artists' quality pastels — the softest in the world — uniquely packaged in stacking and interlocking jars. The packaging protects the colors, thus reducing damage and waste. PanPastels were specially developed so that artists could lift, apply, and control pastel color, just like true painting. The pan format holds color like paint for easy application. Each pan contains 35% more material than the average pastel stick. (On average, based on a market survey of standard soft pastel sticks.) The label, with color name and number, remains with the color pan for easy identification.
Loaded with the highest quality artists' pigments, PanPastel colors are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder and fillers, resulting in a rich, ultra soft, low-dust formulation. These professional quality colors are highly pigmented and have excellent lightfastness. They are erasable and fully compatible with traditional pastel sticks, pastel surfaces, and conventional fixatives. They can be mixed, blended, layered, and applied like paint for an infinite palette of colors.
With PanPastel, it is possible to create more painterly effects. The artist can apply controlled marks, from intense to delicate — ultra thin "glazing" layers and veils of color. It is possible to block in large areas of color in seconds, for backgrounds, underpainting, and tinting paper. PanPastels clean up easily.
Each jar contains 9 ml (0.3 oz) of pastel. Instructions are also included.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Easy to use PanPastels
By inkbru
from Oklahoma
Comments about PanPastel Artists' Painting Pastels:
These are wonderful pastels to work with on almost any surface. I have used sponges, my fingers and a paint brush for applying these paints to canvas, water color paper, glossy card stock and wood surfaces. The PanPastels are creamy and spread smoothly when applied. I have had a few that were a little on the dry side, but after using a container for a little while, I seem to break below the dry surface to a more creamy texture.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Can't get enough of these
By KittieSue
from Anderson
Comments about PanPastel Artists' Painting Pastels Sets:
So glad to get MORE of these. They are by far my favorite pastels. I use these as a base for colored pencil (to tone paper and as backgrounds) I tend to go for these a lot more than my vast array of soft and hard pastels as there is less dust, my hands stay clean and I can always use all my others with them if needed. I am building my arsenal and only have a couple more sets to go. I've purchased extra tools as well and stocking up as I'm such a hoarder when it comes to my art supplies.

I use the PanPastels in my art journal. They are much easier to use than stick pastels
First class product
By Caron
from Perth, Western Australia
I use the pan pastels for colouring paper flowers and the results are stunning and so realistic, far superior to standard pastels. Beautiful selection of colours, a tiny bit goes a long way and these will last me for ages. Highly recommended purchase.
Yummy colors!

I love the texture and blend ability of these Pastels. I have found the reports of other uses absolutely true.
Great job
By Lee
from Hot Springs, AR
Well, I have to say that Blick is one of the best companies I have delt with. I am a crafter, and I sell my products, so the quality of the products I put into them is key.I had a small Issue with my last order and Blick sprang into action to fix it. Since I was on a deadline to complete a piece, I really appreciated their concern, and their ability to have the issue fixed within 24 hours.Quality products, and quality people, Blick has earned my business and is my single source for supplies in the future.Thanks for taking care of me.
Huge fan
By Mixed media Lynn
from Seattle
I absolutely love these pan pastels. I use them as accents in mixed media and am not a pastel artist so can't compare to other brands. But love the quality of these for the work I do.
Great for drawing!
By Maggie
from Texas
Great for preliminary drawing and also for the final tonality of the overall drawing.
Pan Pastels
By spk1142
from Pearcy Arkansas
Only thing I would change is I would like to see the color name on the top of the bottle and darker on the side of the bottle----very hard to see color names!! With the bottle top being black you have to either pick up the bottles to see or have them on a rack to view the side.
PanPastels were created to offer the artist a new tool for artistic expression by merging dry medium with wet, painterly technique. These highest quality pastels are rich, soft and lightfast and are contained in a truly unique pan that holds 35% more material than the average stick pastel.
See what distinquishes these high quality artists' pastels and tools from any other. Both products were invented for artists by artists and offer a new and unique way of painting with pastel. This video will show various applications, tips, and techniques.
Sofft tools were specifically developed for use with PanPastel soft pastels but are so versatile, inexpensive, and reusable, they can also be used with most water-based art and craft materials. Try using with watercolor, acrylic paint, glazes and with a variety of dry mediums, such as hard or soft traditional pastels and charcoal to create exciting new techniques, marks, and effects.

People have bartered for goods and services since the beginning of human history. Much of the information in this book is not new, however, it is presented in a simple manner, one that will be a new perspective on a very old profession.
Information that can increase your knowledge and sharpen your selling skill is well worth the effort it takes to find. The selling process consists of many things, some of which can be taught, and some which can't. If you genuinely like talking (and listening) to people and believe your product fulfills a need in the marketplace, you are more than halfway down the road to success. Another important characteristic goes by many names. Some people call it common sense, or horse sense, or even mother wit.
In life, as well as sales, your common sense guides you to make the right decisions. But common sense makes sense only if you have the right information to guide you. In today's information world, knowledge is no longer optional; it is necessary.
"Simple Selling" is about you, the salesperson, and the many roles we play in today's marketplace. On any given day, we are both buyer and seller. In sales, the buyer and the seller change roles many times. You must be the judge of how the examples apply to your career.
This book was kept simple for two reasons. First, many times we overlook the important things in life. We remember a name, but forget what the person is about. Second, we all need to refresh our knowledge so we can stay on track.
For the already successful, seasoned salesperson, this book does not intend to show you a different approach to selling. Rather, it should remind you of what you already know. Reflect on your road to success. Refresh yourself.
For those of you who are just beginning, or need a helping hand at selling, the book advises that you treat your customer as you would like to be treated. Be fair with your customers. Your reward will be both personal and profitable.
This book is a primer for the rookie and a diary for the pro. Simples selling uses common sense. Enjoy reading and using this book. Good luck!

I received the bad news yesterday from my local camera store, and had to convey to my GF the news that the card reader/writer on her beloved D300 is bad.Has anyone faced this problem recently?Where did you send it? How much did it cost?With D300 prices where they are, is it worth the repair, or should we be looking at another camera? There is not really a comparable in the Nikon line at this time.We do have a D7000, so she is not Nikonless, but she wants her pro-level camera.However, in desperation, she has even used the word (HORRORS) "Canon."Reading other posts, is there really a D400?

Tom,I recommend you contact Nikon Service in Melville, NY. They will provide details on their repair process. After troubleshooting your D300, they will provide you with a repair cost estimate. They will not perform any repair work until you authorize them to proceed. IMO, you cannot make a decision until you receive the repair cost estimate. Melville, NY is a 30 minute drive from my home and I have been to the Nikon NA headquarters & repair center many times. I've always received fast, professional service there.Good luck...JL

Hi Tom,I agree with James. Send the D300 to Nikon Service or a Nikon Authorized Service Station and get an estimate. With the exception of the sensor requiring replacement, it is usually cheaper to repair a camera body than replace it. At least with an estimate in hand you will be able to make an informed decision.
Best Regards,Marty

Got the quote from Nikon$240 + shipping.Any ideas?
#4. "RE: D300 card drive bad" | In response to Reply # 3
Tom,$240 isn't that much compared to what you will need to spend to replace the D300. I owned a D300 before going FX and thought it was a great camera. Unless you have other concerns about the D300, I would have it repaired.Hope this helps....JL
#5. "RE: D300 card drive bad" | In response to Reply # 3
Hi Tom,Given that KEH has used D300's in EX condition priced at $546.00 and Bodies in BGN condition priced at $484.00 it makes economic sense to have your D300 repaired at less than half the price to replace it with a used body.

* U.S. speed skaters switch to old suits after failures
* Fenninger wins women's super-G for Austria
* Russia hopes for third gold in men's skeleton
Russia meets the United States in men's ice hockey at the Winter Olympics on Saturday in a clash redolent of rivalries past, while the American speed skating team are hoping a change of suits brings a change in fortunes.
The ice hockey qualifier at the futuristic Bolshoy Ice Dome by the shores of the Black Sea in Sochi will not determine any medals but it will play out before a capacity crowd of around 12,000, most of them roaring on the home team.
For older fans, minds will inevitably turn to the Lake Placid Games of 1980, when a team of American college players defied the odds to beat the Soviet Union's "Big Red Machine" 4-3 and go on to win an unlikely gold.
The "Miracle on Ice" encapsulated the shift in the balance of power between Cold War foes, yet despite fundamental changes since, Russian President Vladimir Putin has evoked the period when addressing Western criticism of preparations for the Games.
That rhetoric has since faded into the background, however, as a generally well organised Olympics, and some thrilling sporting action in Sochi and in the Caucasus mountains that loom in the distance, has won over many doubters.
A relaxed Putin sipped red wine and chatted with the U.S. Olympic team in Sochi on Friday, and heaped praise on U.S. athletes, who are tied in fourth position with Norway in the medals table.
"What I like in you is that you have strong competitors in almost every discipline, in almost every event you fight for medals," said the leader, whose legacy will rest in part on whether the Games are a success.
The buildup to Russia's first Winter Olympics was far more frosty.
U.S. President Barack Obama decided not to come to Sochi and, following criticism of Putin's stance on gay rights, sent a delegation including gay officials.
There have also been accusations of widespread corruption and profligacy surrounding the Olympics, which some estimates say cost $51 billion, making them the most expensive ever held.
Putin has dismissed those charges, and some Russian officials put the price tag much lower.
Such concerns will be far from the minds of the U.S. speed skaters as the Games hit the halfway stage.
After a string of flops, the skaters plan to ditch their high-tech outfits and go back to skin suits in the hope that different apparel will drag them back into contention.
The body governing the sport and the International Olympic Committee have yet to approve the switch, but have no issue with the change as long as it complies with the rules.
"We are constantly evaluating all aspects of race preparation and execution to help our athletes improve their output and maximize their physical and psychological advantages," said U.S speed skating boss Mike Plant.
Speculation about the causes of the U.S. athletes' poor start began after double Olympic champion Shani Davis, a favourite for gold after winning three of four World Cup races this season, finished eighth in Wednesday's 1,000m event.
Women's 1,000m World Cup leader Heather Richardson and world record holder Brittany Bowe also floundered over the distance in the women's event on Thursday, leaving the United States still searching for their first medal at the Sochi oval.
Some of that concern was focused on the new "Mach 39" suits made by Under Armour, which Lockheed Martin helped design and was marketed as the fastest-ever in the sport.
All eyes will be on Davis as he goes in the men's 1,500 metres on Saturday, but he faces tough opposition from Koen Verweij, who is aiming to maintain Dutch dominance on the ice in the Adler Arena.
There are two golds up for grabs in the rough and tumble world of short-track speed skating on the eighth full day of competition in Sochi.
In the 1,500 metres, China's Zhou Yang defends her 2010 title, while Canadian Charles Hamelin seeks his second Sochi gold in the 1,000 metres.
Up in the mountains, Anna Fenninger maintained Austria's grip on the women's Alpine skiing super-G title, in a race where just finishing proved a big challenge for the early starters.
Snow conditions have been a major talking point throughout the Games, with clear skies and temperatures of around 14 degrees Celsius in the mountains making the surface soft and slushy, particularly later in the day.
In and around the impressive Olympic village in Sochi, people have been wandering around in T-shirts and swimming in the sea, in a surreal atmosphere for a Winter Games.
Norway's women look certainties to retain the cross-country relay title they won in Vancouver, having stayed unbeaten in the team format since.
Russian Alexander Tretiakov is well set to win a first Russian gold in skeleton, heading into Saturday's final two heats with a useful advantage over Latvian Martins Dukurs.
Austria's ski jumping team, surprisingly shut out of the normal hill final, hopes to restore honour in the large hill event where Poland's Kamil Stoch will be the man to beat.

I knew there was some kind of scam with all the pictures on the walls of the michaut boys (michaut is the family who runs this scam) playing golf and call themself as champions. I just wanted to get some financial education as long as it was free then I will think about it, I told zayal that and she was ok with whatever I want. then she sent me to darrell r. bailey to train me, who speaks like an angele with a devil smile, he inroduced me to cameron michaud "marketing director" then I figured that he will be taking all the money i'll make if I ever made any then made me pay $125 as registration, lisence, and back ground check fees. my first trainning lesson was giving him a list of minimum 30 people I know,their name, adress, age, occupation, phone numbers.
of course I didn't give any information about my friends and family but I made meet with my best friend and he was trying to convence him to join the business and how he help families and make $200,000 a year and he was an x-engineer, then I made him meet my brother in law, he told him the exact same thing but this time he told him that he was a carpenter. I then realized that it was all a scam, so I told him that I quit and would like my money back, and I'm not gonna let him get away with it.
two days after I got a call from the police telling me that darrell bailey went to the police station asking for their protection from me because I was threatening him. when I told the story to the police officer he an understandable man he could not do anything for me and asked me not to call darrell bailey again. that's what WFG do, they take your money and try to use you, and if you ask for your money back they call the police on you.

The 'novel ecosystem' concept has captured the attention of scientists, managers, and science journalists, and more recently of policymakers, before it has been subjected to the scrutiny and empirical validation inherent to science. Lack of rigorous scrutiny can lead to undesirable outcomes in ecosystem management, environmental law, and policy.

Hi everyone.
I only have 15 full days flying in HCMC and out of Hanoi.
What are your opinions on how to make my time more rewarding in Vietnam?
I wanted some feedback about the mekong delta and about mai chau. Still worth it? I read mixed reviews about those places.

Fifteen days I'd probably have stuck with either JUST the north or the south, so you'll need to make a choice probably between delta or a Mai Chau/Sapa style adventure in the north. Also, from your post it isn't clear what you are looking for on your trip.
One possible itinerary:
HCMC (2-3 nights)
Can Tho [Delta] (2 nights)
Can Tho to HCMC & flight (or one more night in HCMC) (1-2 nights)
Hanoi (2-3 nights)
Ha Long Bay (2-3 nights)
Sapa (3-4 nights)
Hanoi (1 night)
Another suggestion:
HCMC (3 nights)
Fly to Da Nang - Hoi'an (3 nights)
Ground to Hue (2-3 nights)
Overnight train to Hanoi (1 night) [could skip Hue and just fly from Da Nang to Hanoi]
Hanoi (2-3 days)
Ha Long Bay (2-3 days)
There are a couple hundred options on how you could combine these itineraries. However, I'm highlighting some of the main spots from south to north: Can Tho, HCMC, Hoi'an, Da Nang, Hue, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Sapa. With only 15 days you are probably best off dropping the central area of Hoi'an-Da Nang-Hue, though I like that area a lot.

The most rewarding destinations for me would be:
Hanoi for the wonderful diversity of the Old Quarter and the friendliness of the Hanoians
Sapa for the beauty of the hills and terraces and the wonderful attitude of the hill tribes
Hoi An for the small village feel, the lantern-lit evenings and the best food in Vietnam
Quy Nhon for friendliness, great seafood and low prices
Dalat for many wonderful experiences and great food
I was a little disappointed in the Delta, but the floating markets were very interesting
Mai Chai was beautiful and very friendly, but after 1 day, I was bored

I wasn't thinking about spending time in HCMC but I was considering a side trip to see the floating markets. Overnight enough?
Might skip Quy Nhon because I'm not looking for beach time but thank you for the tip.
I was considering Hoi an and Hue, 2 days each maybe.
One place I want to spend a full day is Ninh Binh and I probably will skip halong bay for this.
Three days in Ninh Binh and Mai chau enough?
something like: night train from hue to ninh binh arrive 8h05. Full day in Ninh Binh (Hang mua Trang an biking etc). Next day go to tam coc very early to skip the crowds and catch a bus to mai chau, overnight there and next day spend the day biking there and catch a late bus to Hanoi .
I probably want to spend the rest of my time in Hanoi and Sapa. Is this ok?

Just to comment on the below, there is very little time to really absorb any of these spots. For example, you land in HCMC, the next day you head to Can Tho (about 5 hrs) and spend the evening there. Then you wake up super early to see the floating market in the morning and then get on a bus to go to HCMC and catch a night train (or flight I'd probably recommend) to Da Nang. That is really hectic and wouldn't be a problem as just part of a trip, but this seems to be the pace you've set for the entire time. I'd recommend you cut out one of these three spots from the start.

The best sight in Vietnam is Paradise Cave imo.
Ho Chi Minh has a few good museums and the cu chi tunnels were interesting.
Dalat scenery was interesting in that it was different from anything else I saw in SEA.
Nha Trang diving was fun.
Hue citadel and tombs were interesting.
Halong bay/Cat Ba Island were neat but somewhat disappointing with all the pollution.

Yeah, once you factor travel into your itinerary you are only going to have a day or so in each place (except Sapa and Hanoi) - that is a bit hectic.
Mai Chau is gorgeous - I was there recently updating the TF listing - but I suggest cutting it from your schedule and going straight from Ninh Binh to Hanoi. I love the scenery around Ninh Binh (2 day suggested itinerary coming soon!) and there's plenty to do and see in the area. Mai Chau doesn't offer anything more than that and you're adding a lot of travel time.
But that is only 1 day saved and I would also cut out one other place if you can bear to. The places you have scheduled are all very different so it's hard to suggest which to cut. At the very least consider flying to danang rather than getting the train. I like train travel but always arrive tired, and with the little time you have you don't want to waste any.

Damn I'm so bad at cutting things.
Paradise cave, I don't think I want to go there. I know I would love it but I've been to a cave here in Portugal that it's kinda cool (mira de aire caves - google it). I do know Paradise cave has 31km vs the 11km of mira de aire cave but I saw something similar that, while if I had never gone to one would think it's amazing, I've been to these two three times and it's not that memorable to me.
Anyway as I'm already so confused on what to cut I shall not add another to the list!
It's hard since every single one of those places looks hard for me to cut. I have to reaserch a bit more to do this decision.
Excited about the ninh binh itinerary! I have a list of things I wanted to see there but wasn't sure if I could do them all.
Daawgon said after one day in Mai chau he got bored. Do you think I should cut it because one day it's not enough there or just because it's not as good as the other destinations?
From what I got from a bit of reaserch just now, there's one bus from Ninh Binh to Mai Chau at 5am and the journey takes 3.5h. So I would probably do 2d/2n Ninh Binh 1d/1n in Mai chau and catch a bus back to Hanoi next day. I was thinking that even though I would just have one day there it would be a relaxing one, just walk a bit in rice fields and villages.
About train travel, I'm usually a good sleeper, I'm one of those persons that always falls asleep on buses/trains/cars even when the distances are short. And I much prefer spending my time in a train that at the airport... Just worried that the conditions might not be good enough to leave me comfortable and that it will reflect on my sleep.
#8 marianaamc has been a member since 30/10/2013. Posts: 62
I took the sleeper from Hanoi to Hue and it was fine. Originally I booked the regular sleeper, but got upgraded to the Livitrain(?) sleeper car. No trouble sleeping there.
As for what to cut, real problem is that you fly into HCMC, or I'd just say cut out the delta. However, it makes it odd to fly into the south and then not really spend any time there. For the section I suggested a cut to you could do some quick pros & cons:
Delta, Pro - floating market, experience some of the south: Con - bit of back tracking, hectic schedule to see market
Hoi'an, Pro - historical city, close beach, shops: Con - I think it is a bit overrun with tourists
Hue, Pro - very historical area, old town is interesting: Con - often a bit wet, mostly best just for history buffs

Re Mai Chau , I just don't think it adds anything other than what you'll already be getting from Ninh Binh and Sapa . The scenery is similar to Ninh Binh and the villages in Mai Chau are just tourist shopping centres selling the same stuff you'll find elsewhere, whereas in Sapa the villages are villages. I'm not anti Mai Chau at all - it's beautiful - but given the time you have I think it's wasted travel time. From Ninh Binh to Hanoi direct is just 2hours, but if you go via Mai Chau you're adding a couple of hours to get to Mai Chau then have a 4 hour journey from Mai Chau to Hanoi.

Nathuy - what makes you suggest that itinerary? It ignores her desire to go to Hue and Ninh Binh and nowhere did she say she wanted to go to Halong or Danang.

I think it is not the best choice but it is good for you.
HCMC - Cu Chi (Day 1)
HCMC - My Tho - Can Tho (Day 2 & 3)
Can Tho - HCMC - Da Nang by flight (Day 4 5)
Da Nang (Day 6 7)
Da Nang - Hoi An (Day 7)
Hoi An - Ha Noi (Day 9 10)
Ha Noi (Day 11)
Ha Noi - Ha Long (Day 11 12)
Ha Long Sa Pa (Day 12 14)
Ha Noi (Day 15)

As your requirement, I think you should follow what you like and intend to do. And my recommendation is because you are so curious about Mai Chau , you should spend 2 days, instead of one, to explore it. I believe you would love it. Let's try services of Mai Chau Ecolodge if you have a comfortable budget, I think it's good. About being hectic in your provisional itinerary, I think it's not problem.

Well, bad news. I actually fly to HCMC 13 Aug, not 12 so that's a day less than I though....
I'm starting to think I need to skip both mekong delta and mai chau and fly to danang 14 Aug at 5am. I saw the night train option but it takes all my morning next day and it's more expensive than the flight. I hear the best part is between danang and hue so I will take the train that journey and the night train between hue and ninh binh.

If it were me - I'd actually add that one day to HCMC, since you are flying into there anyway, might as well get a little experience of the city.

I agree - check out HCMC. Otherwise it's looking much more manageable!

Breaking the rule that said pornstars had to be young, largely unseen, blonde, and with faces free of any wrinkles or lines, MILFs overtook the adult industry over ten years ago and have been challenging the status quo ever since. Pure Mature is one of the premiere MILF-focused hardcore sites online porn has to offer. From the makers of high-grade efforts Passion HD and My Very First Time, Pure Mature's decidedly sophisticated take on MILF-fucking sees porn's hottest elder ladies prove they're just as vivacious and alluring as women half their age. As if there was ever any doubt…
JAV HD: Japan Adult Video, High Definition. If those five words don't arouse your appetite for erotically charged Asian porn, I don't know what will! JAV HD has been hosting a bevy of gloriously uncensored hardcore J-porn since its launch two years ago and is still going strong today. Now hosting an astonishing 17,000 scenes across its 14 kinky niche-interest websites, JAV HD has become the premiere J-porn network for English-speaking audiences. But there's still a couple of things standing in JAV HD's way as it attempts to reign supreme across the Asian-fancying pornoverse. Let me fill you in…
Next Door World is unlike most American neighborhoods in that it's filled not with budding families, Subaru Outbacks, and mortgage foreclosures but with hardcore homosexual antics that'll pucker your asshole and get your dick hard in no time. Bringing together fifteen exclusive websites focusing on different niche interests and porn-stud talents, Next Door World opens up so many avenues of sexual inquiry it might as well be a community built to keep you sexually satisfied… Oh, I guess it is.
Art and Sex make perfect bedfellows at Sex Art, a site built from the ground up with only the richest visuals, the sexiest young performers, and the highest quality videos in mind. Boasting on its tour pages of its 4K Ultra-HD videos, 50 megapixel photographs, mobile device support, and a huge roster of enticing beauties hailing from Hungary to Romania to Ireland, Sex Art is a youthful hardcore take on erotic cinema that shouldn't be missed.
If it's wet and it's puffy, it's could be a poodle caught in the rain. Then again, it could be one of the hundreds and hundreds of glistening, tantalizing pussies found at Wet and Puffy, the web's only "pussy classification" site. Now hosting 4K Ultra-HD videos that bring you even more amazing close-ups of female genitals than ever before, most of them hailing from Europe and eager to demonstrate the flexibility, resilience, elasticity, fluid ejection, and quivering orgasmic pleasure of their genitalia, Wet and Puffy aims to please pussy-fans worldwide.
A signature Brazzers site if ever there was one, Big Wet Butts is loaded with exactly that: the curviest, bounciest, and most all-round bodacious rear-ends found on the rear-side of the pornstar Mount Rushmore, fending off hordes of gropers and iPhone-photographers with their thick 'n' juicy ass cheeks. Not every woman planting her buns on set for this HD-equipped hardcore extravaganza takes one of those ZZ donkey-dicks anally, but every ass does get a thorough worshipping and working over, that's the Big Wet Butts guarantee.
Tearing out of continental Europe wrapped in a semen-encrusted satin blouse and eager for an orgy to break out, Tainster is a wild and adventurous Euro sex party that'll leave you reeling. Loaded with HD movies and high-res galleries that celebrate porn's weirdest and wildest fetishes - WAM, pissing, fake jizz, public sex, wild orgies, and much, much more. Already home to over 5000 scenes, Tainster's big, bold, and unquestionably boner-inducing.
Puba's growing network of pornstar sites and hardcore niches ventures isn't the most consistently impressive porno gaggle on the 'net these days, but I'll be damned if Puba's not about to devastate the libidos of Skin Diamond, Asa Akira, and Vanessa Cage's biggest fans! Now sporting HD videos that look better than ever, provide a sneak peek into the lives of A-list pornstar hotties, and capture some truly awesome hardcore fucking, Puba makes a great case for membership, even at full price. Discounted by Mr. Pink's and set to challenge some major porno mainstays, Puba should absolutely not be ignored.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish you file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 # , and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/comptroller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

The info I would like is some sort of contact info for the people that have posted or if you could give them mine.
I have a feeling that a certian bank (washington mutal in my friends case) may have been hacked or something similar, there has to be some commonality.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 Consumer Comment
This company did the same thing to me.
AUTHOR: Suleka - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 07, 2004POSTED: Wednesday, April 07, 2004
We called the company first thing on Monday, since I found out about it on a Friday and they were closed on the weekend. When we called we spoke to a man who explained that they cannot give out any information on how they obtain their sources with regards to peoples' checking account numbers and names. The strange thing about everything was -- they had my old information not my new information.
Apparently, their company always sends out letters about themselves to people and it is up to us to call them within 15 days to cancel the account otherwise they charge your checking account - isn't this illegal??!?! I never received the letter because it went to my old address. Now bear in mind, I haven't lived at this address for over two years.
My bank has updated my billing address as well. So whoever lives at my old place thought it was junk and just threw it away. It could happen to anyone. All of us throw away junk mail NOT expecting to be charged for anything we do not want.
Any one would be furious...they sent their so called letter to an old address which means I never received anything from them and then they take money out of my account without notifying me!!!!
When we spoke to a rep over a month ago about it, he informed me and the lady from my bank that they will mail me a refund check and to please close my checking account to avoid any other unauthorized charges. I told him I was one step ahead of him I already closed the account.
I am on Medicaid which means I get my medicine for free why would I want to pay for them?
Four weeks passed by no check...I called them today...and I do not know who I spoke to, but the man was so rude and insulting, and he said that the man I spoke to over 4 weeks ago does not even work with the company anymore...did he even know who I spoke to? He kept taking his anger out on me and he said I do not know what I'm talking about. So now, the new story is apparently on the 1st of April, this idiot for a human told me, he got a note from the bank stating that I will have to file a dispute with my bank in order to get my refund and the bank will give me my money back. So that's what I did, I reported it as a fraudulent charge and now I'm getting my money back.
By the way, just to let you know..I spoke to a someone at that 888 number and he said this company no longer exists, they did not give them any information and they are advising everyone to file disputes. They did not leave them any forwarding information as well. The whole thing was a scam to get people's money!! I bet they got as much as they needed and closed down the company and ran off with people's money.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I called Verizon and asked what's the deal? They stated that Premium SMS Messaging sends out text jokes or comment for the day and then charges you for it. I stated that I never subscribed for this and Verizon had no comment. I told them I wasn't going to pay! That didn't work. Verizon told me I would have to text #63232 and text "unsubscribe". Verizon had no answers as to how they got my number. They have gotten my for $120 so far. What a great way to get money text someone and then charge their carrier which then charges you. SCAM! Sound like a class action case?

Reviews for the Gammatech Durabook U12Ci
Source: Laptop Mag
The GammaTech Durabook U12Ci is definitely sturdier than your average mainstream notebook, making it worth a look for field workers who need a system that can last. The notebook boasts a flexible design that switches between laptop and tablet mode and comes with an integrated stylus that works well with its resistive touch-screen display.
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 04/26/2013
Rating: Total score: 60%
Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
3317U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.7 - 2.6 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.5 kg:
Usually subnotebooks, ultrabooks and quite lightweight laptops with 12-16 inch display-diagonal weigh as much.
Gammatech: Gammatech Computer Corp. is a US-manufacturer since 1987. The market share in the laptop market is very low.

My jewellery cupboard is a bit like a treasure trove; quartz crystals, exotic stones and dramatic rocks a-plenty. And while you'd think I've got more than enough earthy pieces to go around, Autumn's slew of rock candy has fully renewed my fascination with all things bling-centric.
Raw stone jewellery pieces are suddenly everywhere — druzy rings, agate pendants, abalones, hammered metal cuffs embellished with chunks of turquoise and agate quartz … It's almost too much for my rock-lovin' heart to handle! And honestly, what better way to pimp out an outfit than with a bit of National Geographic-inspired glitz? You can pile these rocks on your wrist, hang 'em from your ears, or go for an eclectic, new season spin on summer's statement necklaces by layering your rock beauts together.
Either way, it's official; these all-but-dug-from-the-earth treasures are taking the medium from 'meh' to show-stopping and the best part is that you won't have to embark on too tough an expedition to get your hands on the spoils. I've pulled together some of the best, boldest gems of the season to get you ready for an accessories revamp.
But if some of the price tags make you choke a little (let's not forget that many of these bad boys are handmade), rest assured you can always add them to your
luxe lust list for when you finally round up the pennies to buy your well-deserved splurge. Although if they do sell out — don't say I didn't warn you!

The Mailman has a SecretGenre: Any
Rules: What's the deal with the mailman? He's acting weird. Make a film about his suspicious secret! Title by PowLoTheoddMan
Hahaha, this is cute. The shot at the end made me smile. Would have loved the final shot to zoom out or be a little bit wider to really emphasis his alone-ness. Perhaps with an empty chair or something. Fun fun fun!
I was going to have an empty chair there, but felt that it would give the impression that he was crazy. When he is just a lonely man. lol but a wider shot would have been better for sure. Glad it made smile, btw loving the new touches to the site.
Cool zooming upwards shot. Hey, look, a hot girl! Haha, I like all the transitions here, very nice. You always have such beautiful shots. Seems like it moves a bit quickly though, wish it had some voice over.
Thanks Justin. Really appreciate the shot compliment, means a lot. Yeah, there was something missing from the finished thing I always thought, but I wasn't sure what. Maybe a voice over might have been the very thing. But, hey, at least we got to put something together in time for the fight!
Thanks again
Is there no sound to this? Ah, I see, there's a little sound at the end. Wish you had some music or something in here. You need to show the note and the picture a lot closer so the joke really "reads" - it all happens a bit quick!
Your use of three shots isn't really effective here, since it's just three cuts within the same shot. You couldn't memorize the lines beforehand? Holding the paper is quite awkward. I can hear camera handling noise which is a no-no. It's a nice little couple haikus, but with the video element of this was executed better.
Whoa, CREEPY mask!!!! Lots of screaming in the lightweights. Haha, the last shot makes no sense. Well, I laughed!

Row by Row experience 2016
This country-wide shop hop style event kicks off on June 21. This is a great way to have some summer fun as you travel or expand you regional horizons. There are hundreds of shops that participate all across the country, and they are all glad to see you and hear where you are from.
The theme this year is Home Sweet Home. We have created a vertical row with an inviting front yard complete with a picket fence , a whimsical snail, and three dimensional flowers that really pop.
Alice Johnson is the winner of our prize; she was the first person to complete a quilt using rows from participating stores that she visited. In addition to a bundle of 25 fat quarters, she received a $25 bonus for using our row in her colorful quilt.
We have this pattern and some Tula Pink fabrics that work well for this interesting quilt. The theme is metamorphosis, and it is made charming using a fox. Now you see him and now you don't; as he slowly melts into the background then gradually reappears.
Stop by and see the sample Barb has just put together.
Butterflies are fun. We have the pattern and some great fabrics for this Elizabeth Hartman quilt. Make a wall hanging, bed size or just use the center butterfly for a baby quilt.
we just wrapped up our first 2016 STAYCATION WORKSHOP
This year it is all about collage cuties like these
Our JUNE stay-cation sold out quickly. We had a full house and everybody had a good time and accomplished a lot. Follow the link below to see some pictures of the workshop and see for yourself the amazing progress that was made.

I am contemplating buying either a netbook or an iPad to work on my blogs with. Any issues from a WordPress perspective?
I am contemplating buying either a netbook or an iPad to work on my blogs with. Any issues from a WordPress perspective?
Unfortunately, the iPad lacks Flash support thanks to stubbornness on both Adobe and Apple's part (Adobe refuses to lower the CPU load of Flash Mobile, therefore Apple refuses to provide it as an option to their users). However, you'd be surprised as to how many sites don't need Flash these days. Many sites, including Youtub, now offer alternative non-Flash versions.
As for WordPress, if you had an iPad you could the use the awesome official iPad/iPhone app:
thanks guys - so no hassles in general with switching from PC to Mac regards WordPress?
I use both PC and Mac (and iPad and iPhone and Andriod) to manage my WordPress blogs. No issues :) Except for Flash. But ... Yeah. Not a big deal.
The iPhone app is not working on MultiSite blogs right now, but for the iPad, you hardly need it!
I've been using WordPress on a Mac for over six years and on an iPhone for over two years, so I'm willing to say that there are no problems.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
As owner of AAA Computer Repair, I am reporting that Quest Dex used trickery to enter our company into a lifetime agreement of charges. A Quest Dex Representative, Wallace, called us and talked us into having a phone book add in the Dex phone book. He came to our location and signed us up in a package deal for advertising in the 2008 Quest Dex phone book, claiming that we would get a lot better deal with the package, which included internet advertising. Quest Dex is no longer supplying a phone book for 2009 in Lincoln NE, yet a year later, we received another bill on 10/9/08 from Dex in the amount of $240.00 for internet advertising from 9/26/08 to 9/25/09.
We never signed up for any advertising with Dex for 2009, so I called them to remove the internet advertising of our company. I talked to Bernadine in the legal department, AND THEY REFUSED! They said that by having a signing phone book package deal, it entered our company into a lifetime agreement of online advertising that they would not cancel. They were then were nice enough to e-mail me their Terms of Agreement, full of small print legal work.
Why this is fraudulent in nature:
1) This is called black hat sales trick & Gotcha' fine print.
2) The contract signed clearly states, Contract start date: 9/20/07/Contract End Date: 9/19/08 under Internet Products. For the paperwork signed to say the contract ends will end at 9/19/08 and then for a separate terms of agreement to contradict that, makes the contract fraudulent.
3) Being that all we wanted was a phone book add, when it says, I have received a copy of and read the Dex Media, Inc terms of agreement, the signer is under the impression that the sheet of paper he is signing is the terms of agreement, not some other unknown document that was hidden from the signer.
4) The Dex salesman did not inform us that we were signing a lifetime contract, but to the contrary told us we were signing for a 1 year phone book add.
5) The Dex salesman did not give us, ask us to read, or even inform us that a separate terms of agreement document existed.
6) From my understanding, a legal document is only applicable if both parties sign it. The Dex salesman did NOT sign it, or date it.
7) Unlike a phone book add, our add in DexOnline can be removed at any time. By locking us in for a year, and not allowing us to cancel, shows their product to be a Gotcha tactic, instead of something that has value.
8) All legitimate service companies (AOL, Time Warner, Windstream,) allow cancellation over the phone. Quest Dex will bill me every year for the rest of my life unless I write up and mail them a legal document to some PO. Box in Illinois. They won't even cancel the online add for 2010, 2011, 2012, ect over the phone. They sent a representative here to talk us into their lifetime contract, they should send a representative back for cancellation.
9) Quest Dex has an F rating with Better Business Bureau. Web page (Denver office): http://denver.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=33&bbb=0885&firm=15159
If you have been caught by Dex's black hat sales trick, what can be done:
1) I have been told by others who have been caught in this that the Nebraska Attorney General is of help.
2) Since Lincoln is the capital and quite a few of us know legislatures, us business owners should be able to attempt to help pass legislation to get Quest Dex out of Nebraska. Being that our local telephone company (Windstream) has a satisfactory rating with BBB, and Quest Dex has an F, it appears that it would be in Nebraska's best interest to legislatively encourage Windstream to take over Omaha (by the way I am not endorsing Windstream, I actually don't care for Windstream much, but at least they are not attempting to get people to sign lifetime contracts without their knowledge).

I have also been caught by this company and thankfully have not had any funds debited however I have since found the following email addresses regarding formal complaints in the US regarding business in Florida. I have made a formal complaint regarding this company and I suggest anyone else who is not happy in there dealings with them do the same.
I run my own company and market via the internet and unfortunately it is scams like this that make it hard for us legitimate business owners.
Goodluck and always ask for a Government business number or license number. Every Country would have something similar. In Australia it is a ABN _ Australian Business Number. It is a way for consumers to confirm you are legitimate. A legitimate business should be able to provide this information.
Hope this is helpful, I will let you know when I get a response or further developments
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
