They charged my CC on 9/2, a day they say they are closed. My order was in the amount of $999.60.
I received an email with my order number and the status said: Processed.
On 9/5/12 I received and email that said my order was complete, with this added information:
Customers who ordered a SHIPPED product:Your FedEx tracking information will be sent to the email address on file within 24-48 hours of this email. All orders are sent via FedEx Overnight or FedEx 2nd Day Air.
On 9/10/12 I wrote them an email, it said:
I have not received a tracking number or any indication that my order was sent to me. If I don't receive my tracking number within the next 2 days, I'm calling the credit card company and reversing the charge. Your delay is upsetting, and smells of a scam. I hope it is not.
On 9/10/12 I got a reply citing that they were closed on Labor Day, 9/4/12 and that my order SHOULD have gone out sometime between 9/4/12 & 9/7/12. Amanda assured me I would get a tracking number in the next business day.
I then got an email on 9/10 (which is AFTER, not before or during, AFTER the DNC) citing:
TechValueDirect.com is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. As you may know, the Democratic National Convention (DNC 2012) was hosted by Charlotte, North Caroina, during August 31 - September 7, 2012. During this period, FEDEX pick-ups and drop offs were delayed and limited.
On 9/11/12 I received a tracking number with the caveat that it would take up to 12 hours to update in the Fed Ex system. I checked and checked my tracking number and when it finally updated, it said the product would not be PICKED UP from the seller until the 13th, to arrive on the 14th.
I arrived home on 9/14/12 to find my $1000 purchase lying on my doorstep. That was Fed Ex's fault, but unnerving all the same. I was puzzled that my purchase had come in a Fed Ex Express envelope, not a box like it should have been.
On 9/15/12 I opened the envelope and found a bubble mailer inside. When I opened that I pulled out a cardboard DVD case, that had the appropriate graphics on it, but was not factory sealed, but it was all smashed up. I pulled the DVD out, which seemed to be fine, and the accompanying paperwork.
There was the traditional Software Licensing Agreement and another piece of paper with instructions on installing the software and how to appropriately register the product. What's missing? The SERIAL NUMBER.
I emailed them immediately. Then I went online (what I should have done in the first place) and looked for reviews. I was disappointed to find RipOff reports and other sites where their poor customer service and shady dealings were all spelled out.
I immediately send them another email, cite what I have found and demand that they send me a factory sealed Adobe CS6 Web Design Premium delivered to me before 10:30 am on 9/18/12.
It is Monday, Sept. 17th and at 1:52 pm I get an email from Fed Ex with a label to return the bogus software they sent me. At 4:17 I finally get a reply from Mark (the Owner? only guessing).
He babbles on about the Democratic National Convention delays with links to prove he is telling the truth, he gives me my tracking number for what better be the factory sealed Adobe CS6 Web Design Premium to be delivered before 10:30 am.
Then this:
Last, but not least, we are a small business started several years ago in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are normal people with a normal business and I am a little disappointed that my employees have been spoken to the way they have been spoken to from your emails.
Again, I understand the disappointment and I understand the frustration. I even understand this inconvenience this has caused you. Again, I do apologize.
He never mentions my $1000 freak out and that I had every right to demand better service. I told them over the course of several emails that I thought they were a scam and a bunch of liars. Not sorry I hurt their feelings, you don't give someone an endless line of bull when they are spending $1000.
So far, I have filed this report, I've contacted Adobe about their little schemes and I also put this up on ClarkHoward.com. I will continue to tell my story because those folks, as we say here in the South, are up to no good.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, September 18, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, September 18, 2012
I quickly called Adobe to find out that the serial number is an EDUCATION serial number. Adobe assured me that it would work fine, register like it's supposed to and be upgradeable in the future.
Why didn't techvaluedirect.com say they were wholesaling education products? I never would have bought in the first place as I'm a small business.
So, it's all a bait and switch with this company. They are misrepresenting what they are selling, plain and simple.
I'm 3 weeks behind on my marketing campaign now, which represents lost $$$$, so I'm tempted to load the software and call it a day.
I've filed a report on the BBB and also on ClarkHoward.com, I also contacted Adobe citing software pirating because they've handed out serial numbers that were already registered to someone else.
Can't wait to see what they say about this, you can be rest assured they will comment.
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?

Hey RobertThat's a good one :-).Enjoy yourself Skiing - I'm in the French Alps at the moment and its very, very cold.
It's baldy cold here too and we haven't even got to the Alps yet. -6 on the road down to Paris in the early evening yesterday.I know it's using up too many resources and burning up the world until we get to man-made Armageddon in fifty years, but there is something fabulous about rolling up at a nice comfortable Novotel after a long drive, having dinner and a drink and plugging the iPad in to the nice free complimentary Orange wifi. Even if all I do with it then is continue an argument with a bunch of pretend scousers in disparate parts of cyberspace. Our ancestors of even a hundred years ago couldn't have imagined it, let alone those of a thousand years, or ten thousand years ago. The luxury compared to most of the experience of life in the earth's history...Oh well, back to today. Take a point off united and have a good fight with some more red cards and bans.Robert

Nashua chief says mayor's criticism of special treatment of police 'didn't serve any legitimate purpose'
"I was surprised that she said what she did in that forum, and certainly to the extent that she did," Seusing said. "I really didn't think it served any legitimate purpose, other than maybe trying to put pressure on the unions to settle."

Csa - Credit Solutions Of America rip off, takes money, no services rendered Addison, Texas
I feel that I was ripped off. They never sent letters to my creditors. My creditors called and harrassed me and Credit Solutions did not respond to me. They didn't call my creditors to let them know I was involved with them.
Credit Solutions was sure to take my money, but no services were rendered. They had called one time and the person didn't even know who he called or was talking too. They asked for my phone number. They were really uncuth.
I feel that Credit Solutions is not a good company to deal with. They only said the positive things. They were not there to help. They got me further in debt. I lost alot of money through them and I am still paying my creditors.

Red Hat's Future Linux Desktop
Red Hat is the strongest Linux company in the world when it comes to servers, but it has almost no presence on the desktop. That will be changing in 2012 with the reintroduction of a Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE)-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
It's not that Red Hat has ever completely done away with the Linux desktop. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop is still available, but in the big scheme of Red Hat's business, the desktop counts for little. That may be changing though as Red Hat gets ready to explore a server-based VDI thin-client desktop.
This revised desktop will use SPICE, which like Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Citrix's Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), is a desktop presentation services protocol.

What's up, Red Hat?
mrpogson.com: More than "Whoops". This is a disastrous mis-step. While the rest of the world is ramping up use of Android/Linux and GNU/Linux on the desktop, Red Hat is breaking things. IBM must be laughing. They know how to implement GNU/Linux desktops in enterprise. So does Canonical and Novell (if they still exist). So do I for that matter.

Fencing is one of the five sports to have featured at every Olympics, although women only competed from 1924.
At the London Games, 10 events will be contested with individual foil, épée and sabre contests for men and women, team foil and sabre for men and team foil and épée for women.
Each individual fencing bout lasts for three rounds of three minutes each. In foil and épée, points are scored by hitting the opponent with the tip of the weapon. In sabre hits can also be scored with the edge of the blade. In épée, both fencers can score points at the same time, but in foil and sabre only one fencer can score a hit at a time.
All the events in London will be over a knock-out format. Individual contests will be won by the highest number of hits during the bout, or the first fencer to reach 15. In team events, three fencers will compete against their opponents over nine bouts with the aim of scoring a maximum 45 hits.
Italy has won the most gold medals for fencing, with 45, six of which were won by Edoardo Mangiarotti in a total of 13 medals between 1936 and 1960, a record for the sport. Nedo Nadi won foil gold for Italy in 1912 and added five more in 1920, missing out only on the individual épée. In the final of the individual sabre he beat his brother Aldo, who still won three golds.
Aladár Gerevich of Hungary won more gold medals than any other fencer, with seven in his total of 10 between 1932 and 1960. His compatriots Rudolf Kárpáti and Pál Kovács each won six golds for sabre. Between 1908 and 1960, Hungary won nine of 11 team sabre gold medals and 10 out of 11 individual sabre titles.

Special offer: now 20% off original price of $3,300
The North American market for third party processing (TPP) services continues to perform well despite the global recession, with 2008 sales at $62 billion based on exceptionally strong growth during the past five years, and with 9%-10% average annual gains forecast through 2013. Seeking to offset the impact of lower employment figures in the payroll space and reductions in consumer use of credit in the payment space, third party processors continue to bank on the ongoing move from paper to electronic processing while waiting for government stimulus initiatives to kick in, especially in the healthcare arena. During the down economy major TPPs are also promoting new technologies to give their businesses a boost, working to increase revenues from existing clients, and tapping into related growth areas such as human resources outsourcing in the payroll space and mobile transactions in the payment space. At the same time, the market continues to see competitive upheaval, including Heartland's 2008 purchase of the TPP business of Alliance Data Systems, and Fidelity National's 2009 acquisition of Metavante in the payment market; and Emdeon's 2008 emergence as an independent company and McKesson's purchases of Per-Se (2007) and RelayHealth (2008) in the healthcare space.
This fully updated report critically and quantitatively assesses the market for data and payment-related transaction outsourcing. The report focuses particularly on three key segments—electronic payment processing, payroll processing, and healthcare transaction processing—with separate chapters tracing the service trends, market trends and competitive strategies driving market growth and competition within each of these industry segments. The report also examines third party processing as it relates to the Internet, as well as the development and expansion of Internet processing applications. In addition, it identifies and assesses the economic drivers and regulatory changes shaping each segment of the industry, as well as the trend whereby major competitors are adopting technologies and leveraging their massive infrastructures to expand beyond their traditional core businesses. Helping to illustrate these trends are competitive profiles of leading market participants including payroll processors Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), Paychex and Ceridian; payment processors First Data Corp., Fiserv and TSYS; and healthcare transaction processors Emdeon Corp., SSI Group and Availity.

Magnetica (known in Japan as Shunkan Puzzloop (瞬感パズループ?) and in Europe as Actionloop) is a puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, released as part of the Touch! Generations series. The game was developed by Mitchell Corporation and published by Nintendo, and is based on Mitchell's 1998 arcade game Puzz Loop.
The game was first revealed at Nintendo Japan's 2006 Conference. The European version came packaged with the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak.
A version for WiiWare, titled Minna de Puzzloop (みんなでパズループ?) in Japan, Magnetica Twist in North America and Actionloop Twist in PAL regions, was released in Japan on April 22, 2008,[1] June 6, 2008 in Europe,[2] and on June 30, 2008 in North America.[3]
In the game, marbles roll down a twisted path toward the goal and the player must stop them by launching new marbles into the oncoming ones. The DS touchscreen is used to 'flick' the marbles from their launch point to their destination with the stylus. The marbles disappear if player matches three or more marbles of the same type; marbles of the same color are magnetically attracted to each other over any length of wide open space, and allowing for chains of disappearances to occur.
The game is over if any marble reaches a specific point, usually near the center of each level, but using the magnetic properties of the marbles can allow one to pull marbles away from this point. Bonus items attached to marbles can, for example, temporarily slow down the rate the marbles advance or cause all marbles of a color to disappear.
In addition to the main survival mode of play, the player can take part in a quest mode, where they must clear boards under certain conditions, and a puzzle mode, where a fixed arrangement of marbles around the board must be cleared using only the few marbles made available to the player.
WiiWare version[edit]
The WiiWare version of Magnetica supports up to four players simultaneously in either co-operative or competitive multiplayer modes, in addition to the ability to use the player's own Miis in the game. Control is done by twisting the Wii Remote left or right to turn the marble cannon, and an ability to lob marbles over others has been added.[4]
The game features the challenge and quest modes of the DS version, but omits the puzzle mode. Extensive statistics are also kept for each player.

The labyrinth is a tool that gives shape to meditation and prayer. Its winding path purposefully knocks the rational mind "off balance" and allows the heart to focus beyond the distractions of this busy world. In religious settings, the labyrinth has been revived as a spiritual tool. It has a wide appeal, inviting us to travel inward and then outward, to open ourselves to new possibilities, to cast off and take up new ways of thinking and being.
Several months ago, one of our church members suggested that it would be interesting to find out about the people memorialized by our stained glass windows. We thought this might be a good time to find out about these pioneers as well as other interesting items relating to our very historic church.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/655,662, filed Feb. 23, 2005.
This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/060,206 filed Feb. 15, 2005 which is a continuation-in-part of a U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/025,656, entitled Ball-In-Cage Spinal Implant, filed Dec. 28, 2004 which is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 10/793,433, filed Mar. 3, 2004 which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/792,399, filed Mar. 2, 2004; the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to orthopedic surgery and, in particular, spinal implants for replacement of ruptured or excised spinal disks.
Several attempts have been made to design a spinal prosthesis for replacement of missing or excised disk material that replicates the functions of the missing tissue. U.S. Pat. No. 4,759,769 to Hedman et al discloses an artificial disk device in which two plates are attached to the adjacent vertebrae by bone screws inserted through flanges on the plates. A spring biasing mechanism is captured between the plates to simulate the actions of the natural disk material. U.S. Pat. No. 5,246,458 to Graham and U.S. Pat. No. 6,228,118 to Gordon disclose other intervertebral implants with arcuate flanges used to connect the device to adjacent vertebra. Graham also teaches a resilient structure.
The patents to Marnay, U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,477, Buttner-Janz et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,401,269, Yuan et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,701, and Shelokov, U.S. Pat. No. 6,039,763, all are directed to the design of the opposing faces of the adjacent plates of an implant to provide a limited universal joint to simulate the natural movement of the spine.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,683,465 to Shinn et al teaches two plates with bow shaped skirts which are interlocked.
The invention is directed to a spinal implant for insertion between adjacent vertebrae to function as an disk prosthesis. The prosthesis is formed from two plates fastened to adjacent vertebrae facing each other. The facing sides of the plates each have a depending skirt formed as concentric arcs of about 90 degrees. The skirts are either bowed or tapered in the axial direction. A depression is centrally located between the arcs of both plates. A spring mechanism is centrally located on one or both of the plates to provide axial compression. A sphere or ball is placed in the central depression of one of the plates. The plates are oriented to each other with the concentric arcs of each interrupted skirt at 90 degrees and the ball is engaged in the depression of the other plate. The plates are then rotated about 90 degrees and the opposed arcs of one plate interlock with the opposed arcs of the other plate to prevent separation in the axial direction.
Therefore, it is an objective of this invention to provide a spinal implant for axial support of the spinal column which replicates the dimensions and function of an intervertebral disk.
It is another objective of this invention to provide a kit including all the components for assembly and surgical placement of an artificial spinal disk.
It is a further objective of this invention to provide a method of assembly of the components of the kit which results in an axially interlocked spinal implant. Specifically, one plate forms a receptacle for a dynamic socket to be inserted and fixed in place internally.
It is yet another objective of this invention to provide a ball and socket joint between two plates attached to adjacent vertebrae permitting axial rotation, lateral bending, vertical tilting and axial compression.
It is a still further objective of this invention to provide shaped interrupted skirts on two plates which act as stop limits for tilting and bending.
It is another objective of this invention to provide an axially resilient ball and socket joint.
Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
The spinal implant 10, shown in
The upper plate 11 has a planar surface 14 for contact with the end wall of a vertebra and an opposite disk surface 15. Depending from the disk surface is an interrupted skirt 16 with opposed arcs 17 and 18. The arcs are approximately 180 degrees apart at their centers and extend about 90 degrees. The diameter of the arcs is less than the periphery of the plate 11 leaving a horizontal flange 19. Centrally located within the semi-circular arcs is a through bore 13. A sleeve 51 is inserted in the through bore 13 and telescopes in the plate 11. The sleeve 51 has a spherical depression 52 facing plate 12.
The lower plate 12 has a planar surface 20 for contact with the end wall of a vertebra and an opposite disk surface 21. Upstanding from the disk surface is an interrupted skirt 22 with opposed arcs 23 and 24. The arcs are approximately 180 degrees apart at their centers and extend about 90 degrees. The diameter of the arcs is less than the periphery of the plate 12 leaving a horizontal flange 25. Centrally located within the semi-circular arcs is a receptacle 26. A sleeve 53 is inserted in the receptacle and reciprocates in the plate 12. The sleeve 53 has a depression 54 that is rounded and shaped to closely mirror the contours of the depression 52. The depressions 52 and 54, as well as the diameter of the ball 50, are of such dimensions as to support the weight of the spinal column.
As shown, though the relationship could be reversed, the opposed arcs 17 and 18 of the depending interrupted skirt 16 are concentric with the opposed arcs 23 and 24 of the upstanding interrupted skirt and of lesser diameter allowing rotation of the plates relative to each other with surface contact between the outer surface 28 of the upstanding arcs and the inner surface 29 of the depending arcs.
The spinal implant provides support and range of motion similar to the natural joint in that the plates 11 and 12 may rotate axially limited by natural anatomical structures, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles. To simulate the compression of the natural disk during normal activities, such as walking, a spring mechanism 60, 61 is placed in the vertical axis of the plates 11 and 12. The springs are resiliently compressionable.
The spring retainer 63 is in the opposite end of sleeve 51 from the depression 52. The annular spring retainer 63 is formed by the upstanding end wall of the sleeve and the dome shaped central portion. An O-ring spring 60 is disposed in the spring retainer 63. The spring 60 and the sleeve 51 are held in the plate 11 by dome cover plate 56.
In order to simplify the manufacturing process, the lower plate does not have a through bore. A receptacle is formed in the interior of the socket. The spring 61 is inserted and covered by the sleeve 53. A retainer ring is placed between the upper circumference of the sleeve and laser welded to the plate. Other permanent attachment methods may be used. The sleeve 53 is resiliently supported on the spring 61 in the form of a resilient O-ring. The spring is held in the cavity 26 by the retainer ring 55. The dome cover plate 56 and the retainer ring 55, each, has a laser weld 57, 58 or other bond to their respective plates. By absorbing some of the longitudinal loads, the prosthesis lessens the stresses on the adjacent natural disks. Further, during placement of the prosthesis, the springs may be compressed to lessen the overall height of the prosthesis.
To further imitate the function of a natural disk, the plates 11 and 12 may have a resilient material inserted therebetween, as shown in
As shown in
The spine may bend laterally and tilt medially in flexion/extension in a range comparable to the normal range of motion. The inserts 71 and 72 may also having varying viscosities or moments of elasticity tailored to the area of the spine in which they are to be implanted.
The implant also provides limitation of these movements through interaction of the depending arcs and the upstanding arcs. As shown in
The components are made from materials that are suitable for implantation in the living body and have the requisite strength to perform the described functions without deformation, e.g., the opposed bearing surfaces of the depressions and ball may be made of metal or a ceramic and a metal, respectively, the ceramic material is implant grade alumina ceramic or a silicon nitride or carbide and the metal may be a nitrogen alloyed chromium stainless steel or cobalt chrome alloy, or titanium, and alloys of each, coated metals, ceramics, ceramic coatings, and polymer coatings.
The plates may be made entirely of cobalt chrome alloy or only the inserts. In the high wear areas, such as the depressions coatings or inserts may be used to prevent galling and permit repair. In this modular concept, the end plates may be titanium, titanium alloy, or stainless steel among other materails as discussed above.
The prosthetic ball 50 is preferably made from an implant grade alumina ceramic or a silicon nitride or silicon carbide material. The ball 50 may be formed entirely of the ceramic material or a ceramic coating on another matrix. The alumina ceramic or silicon nitride or silicon carbide material can be hot isostatic pressed (HIPing). The ball 50 is then polished to a mirror-like finish. The ceramic ball is completely corrosion resistant and is non-abrasive. The solid matrix eliminates the wear particles, such as liberated from metal, other coated metals and polyethylene implants. The ball 50 has excellent thermal conductivity thereby reducing patient discomfort associated with exposure to cold weather. Further, the alumina ceramic or silicon nitride implant will react well with x-ray and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) diagnostic procedures.
The kit contains plates with protrusions and skirts of varying lengths to allow selection of components for an implant with the axial dimension substantially the same as the thickness of the disk the implant will replace. The kit may also contain upper and lower plate components of varying sizes. A prosthesis could be assembled from the kit with springs in the upper and lower plates.
A number of embodiments of the present invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiment but only by the scope of the appended claims.

I saw this girl, she was very cute but she was wearing a t-shirt and it said: 'I Heart Nerds' on it. I was just looking at her and I was like, 'God, I wish I could make her force f**k an engineer with cystic acne for just hours and hours and hours.' Until she was just like, 'Alright, I don't heart nerds. I heart good-looking guys who wear eyeglasses. That's what I heart.'

Man injects Bitcoin wallet NFC chips into his hands
Chalk this one up to sounding both a little crazy and a little brilliant. 10 days ago, a Dutch man had a NFC chip implanted into each of his hands to serve as storage for the encrypted key to his Bitcoin cold storage. Keeping one's Bitcoins offline, and in this case in the body, makes it harder for them to be hacked and stolen, but Martijn Wismeijer is already thinking ahead for other uses for his chipped hands.

It looks like someone put a Divide filter on a painting of Venice. In fact I'm pretty sure that's just what happened. Aside from being the most difficult to coordinate dress ever, it actually reminded me of something from Bodyline: (image clickable)
This dress from BL is actually one of the items I like very much from BL- I am a Venice-fanatic, and I like pink in combination with sax. So seeing it in violet x green was... a shock xD I know this isn't the first time multiple brands have used the same fabric.
Classical Puppets and Bodyline
Victorian Maiden and Bodyline
and many more, I'm sure.
What do you all feel about brands that share fabric? This does not apply to replicas, of course- but of commercially available fabric only. As a newbie I'm leaning toward more solids and 'basic' pieces right now, more for maximizing wearability than standout pieces in themselves. But I'm interested in how others view 'non-custom' prints!

It's no secret that sales of the Nissan Leaf have been falling seriously short of the company's expectations. But it's difficult to fault Nissan for its ambitious attitude towards the electric car market, and for jumping in so wholeheartedly. When the Leaf debuted two year ago, the hype surrounding electric cars was massive. Nissan projected it would sell 25,000 Leafs in 2011, but ended up moving only 9,674 units off the lot in the United States. To date, Nissan has sold 18,000 units in the U.S. and 50,000 Leafs worldwide. While the Japanese automaker has undoubtedly fallen short of its target in the U.S., with no other mass-produced EV on the market prior to the Leaf, it was always going to be a difficult task to project realistic sales numbers. Nevertheless, Nissan is now having to admit it may have bought a bit too much of its own hype.
In an interview with Automotive News, Nissan's vice president of sales, Al Castignetti, said "We were a little bit arrogant as a manufacturer when we went to the 50-state rollout. We had assumed that there were people just waiting for the vehicle who would raise their hand and say, 'Give me a Leaf, give me a Leaf, give me a Leaf." He went on to say that dealers weren't prepared for the car either, and that finding Leaf buyers was different from finding customers for any of their other cars.
Cost has, of course, been one of the big problems for the Leaf, and Nissan has announced that, in addition to rethinking its sales strategy, it will be finding ways to lower the car's price point. Part of this reduction strategy will revolve around shifting production of the Leaf to Nissan's new state-of-the-art facility in Smryna, Tennessee, as well as making current standard equipment optional in future models. These moves should improve pricing somewhat, but issues regarding range and charging times still remain major stumbling blocks for the potential Leaf and other EV customers.

I recently started looking online for a new job. About a month ago, I started getting phone calls from this company calling themselves "eDegree". They have been calling non-stop, usually multiple times a day, every day for well over a month now. I have done everything from telling them no thank you (which really sets them into high-gear), to asking them to remove me from their call lists. Normally, they just hang up on me whenever I ask for the latter.
Now, here's where it gets tricky. Because they were calling my cell phone so often, I installed a spam blocker to help stop the calls. Well, they apparently wised-up because they've since switched from using their original number, to spoofing a new one every few days. This is shady in and of itself, and doesn't really lend anything to their legitimatcy in my book.
As it stands, I would apprciate any information on these people. Because I really do not want to change my phone number.

Is Salman Khan Bored Of Getting Paired With Sonakshi Sinha?
Bollywood actor Salman Khan will next be seen pairing with Sonam Kapoor in Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
However, the director's first choice for the film was Salman Khan's Dabangg heroine Sonakshi Sinha but Sallu Bhai reportedly advised Sooraj not to cast Sonakshi and thus, the role was given to Sonam eventually.
Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha's pairing has been liked much in the Dabangg series and so, director of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo wanted to cast Sonakshi for the film. But as reported, Salman wanted a fresh pairing for his next and so he suggested Sooraj to cast someone who has never been paired with Salman.
So, is it like Salman Khan thinks that his fans are bored of seeing him with Sonakshi or he himself is bored of getting paired with Sonakshi?
Although, Salman and Sonakshi's jodi is already a hit one, it will be interesting to see how the fans respond to the fresh pairing of Salman and Sonam.
Apart from Salman and Sonam, the much anticipated movie Prem Ratan Dhan Payo also features Armaan Kohli, Swara Bhaskar and Deepak Dobriyal.
Check slider to see some pictures of Salman and Sonakshi's chemistry in the Dabangg series...

Wisconsin firm buys G. Fried
Published: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 6:08 p.m.
SARASOTA - G. Fried Flooring of Sarasota has merged with Flooring America of Tampa, a move prompted by the purchase of the two businesses by a Wisconsin company.
G. Fried, which has operated in Sarasota since 1972, was purchased by Flooring America about four years ago. Since then, the two stores have operated as G. Fried Flooring America.
Both are now owned by Sergenian's, an 82-year-old residential and commercial flooring company based in Madison, Wis.
The merger took effect Jan. 1, the companies said.
"We combined the two Florida companies under one umbrella for advertising and operational purposes," said Rufus Ashby, who will remain president of the Florida stores.
Ashby said Tuesday the combined company will have $25 million in annual sales. Of that, $10 million will be generated by the Florida operation.
"There was an opportunity to strengthen both businesses, so we acted quickly and deliberately," he said.
G. Fried Flooring America will continue to operate a commercial flooring facility in Jupiter.
The merger will be an impetus for store renovations, new products and service improvements, Ashby said. The showroom at the Tampa store was recently remodeled.
The Sarasota store just won the monthly Insignia Award from the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, which recognizes customer service and commitment to the community.

Photos: Saul Alvarez in Great Shape For Gomez Bout
By Hesiquio Balderas
WBC junior middleweight world champion Saul ''Canelo'' Alvarez is ready to fight, he is eager to duke it out with Alfonso Gomez on Saturday at Staples Center. He displayed his speed and power in a public training session at the Westside Boxing Club in Los Angeles, California.
The New Mexican star is already in fighting shape and only 3 pounds over the weight limit of 154 pounds. He did 10 rounds of shadow boxing, skipped rope, hit the heavy bag, and the speed bag as the crowd and media enjoyed the great workout.
''I am very motivated, I respect Alfonso Gomez, he knows what I have and I know what I have, so it is just a matter of steping into the ring and following the game plan and winning the fight," said a very confident Alvarez.
Regarding the possibility of having his fight steal the show from the pay-per-view main event between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz, taking place on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

New Classic Rock Releases For January 2014 – David Crosby [VIDEO]
David Crosby has a pretty extensive library when you consider his stint with The Byrd's and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Now featuring his new album, 'Croz'.
David Crosby has a pretty extensive library when you consider his stint with The Byrd's and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Now featuring his new album, 'Croz'.
Bruce Springsteen has given us so much music and no signs of letting up. 40 years ago we got a taste of 'Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ.' That album kick started his great career.
In recent years the popularity has grown tremendously where artists invite other artist to sing on their albums. I have a few of my favorites I'd like to share with you.
Buddy Guy was a major influence on many an artist, especially the band Aerosmith as they were honored to be a part of Buddy Guy's, 'Rhythm and Blues'' LP.
It's not like Sammy needs friends to get a record off the ground but he has such a passion for music that inviting friends to share their talents is not only fun but like a party.
I think in a way her album 'Unvarnished' is kind of special to Joan, although she collaborates on one song with Dave Grohl she did collaborate with every member of The Blackhearts.
It's the holiday season and there will be good days and bad days during this hectic time of the year, maybe gearing up for another month of new classic rock may keep your spirits bright.
The box sets list are simply classic rock classics, not really new, a great way to recapture back in the day when they were new.
Watching this concert in San Francisco (2012) was the same as catching a supergroup on stage, Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar, Tommy Thayer and Keith St. John to name a few.
Not sure if the Cellar Door still standing but at one time it was a club of club's out in Washington, D.C. and if you got to play there, let's just say you were pretty damn good.
Thinking the usual at this time of the year we can expect at least a couple Christmas albums from classic rock bands but this year the pickings are slim.
'The Next Day' happens to be one of the music industry's best kept secrets, it's David's 26th studio release.

mantra: hi
i still have lightroom v4 64bit ,for it permorms better then v5
honestly i did not find new v5 feature to push me to buy v5
is really v5 more powerfull then v4?
is worth to upgrade?
by the way thanks for the video!
Here's a meandering video discussing the new stuff.
Spot healing/removal is much much better. Pre LR5 you got to fix a dot but with LR 5 you can drag the spot removal which is incredibly useful for all sorts of stuff, from removing a hair to a light pole.
Spectro is way underselling the "straighten your image a little easier". The new tools go way way beyond just twisting your picture a bit, it can analyze buildings and correct for some forms of perspective distortion making crooked lines straight. Sometimes it falls on it's face but when it works it can be great.
I also find myself resorting to the radial filter a lot. If you take pictures of people it's so easy to just select a face and lighten shadows without affecting the entire picture. You can do this with the adjustment brush in LR 4 but it would take 4evah compared to LR5 with the radial filter.
Nice explanation of the "upright" tool
This video is 8 months old why post it now when there are so many other good LR videos?
Because you are regurgitating reddit 4 days ago:
This word "bullet time". I do not think it means what you think it means!
According to the DXO web site only linear DNG is supported.
They should really be more upfront about this in the press release.
Given the limitations of Linear DNGs I suspect most folks will stick with TIFF which makes this just about as integrated as any other external editor used with LR.
DP bestflow . org has a nice explanation of Linear DNGs here:
Linearizing a DNG bakes in much of the conversion from a raw file. Adobe has buried that option three screens deep in the DNG converter because they really don't suggest you do it unless it's absolutely necessary. Only do this because you have to make the file compatible with some software, when no other method works. (Backwards compatibility will make use of Linearization only when it absolutely must do so, to make a file compatible)."
Nice job!
CC: For LR it would be great if the global buttons were available in the shortcut mapper for every module.
For example I'm in the library module and want to know the short cut for crop, I should not have to go looking around for it, it's right there on the R key in the library module but with your system I need to bop over to the develop or global module to see how to crop from the library module.
This would make the tool a better workflow aid (something to have up while using LR) instead of a learning module (Now I will learn the global keys, here is the map, now I will learn the develop keys, here is a map).
Yeah, sorry for nit picking, really though I think this is great and thanks for nifty creation!
MTF charts of the 10-18mm and the EF-M 11-22mm
(Cut and pasted from canon HK and US web sites):
It looks like the EF-M is a bit better? Would it be enough of a difference (.5 vs .7 at some points) to see a difference with the naked eye?
Olgierd: For $300 I'll buy 10-18 for my little EOS-M. Small and fairly light, cheaper than EFM 11-22 and available in US. Good option to take while I'm hiking.
I am leaning towards the EF-M even though I loose some versatility.
Retzius: The 10-18 is a very smart move. There is not a "budget" ultra-wide for aps-c in any other mount.
There are a lot of 12-XX options so the samsung sort of gets lost in the crowd.
This is the cheapest way to get to an unfishedeyed 10mm on any body (16mm FF equivalent). Bravo canon!
Olgierd: For $300 I'll buy 10-18 for my little EOS-M. Small and fairly light, cheaper than EFM 11-22 and available in US. Good option to take while I'm hiking.
Ah there is that minor detail. You have to wonder why canon would shoot the EOS-M in the foot in the USA by not making the UWA available. I'm on the fence, I can get the EF-M but it would be nice to use the lens on my rebel. I hope someone does a side by side view (just for size) of the 11-22, 10-18 and 10-22.
Olgierd: For $300 I'll buy 10-18 for my little EOS-M. Small and fairly light, cheaper than EFM 11-22 and available in US. Good option to take while I'm hiking.
IF size and IQ isn't important.... go for it. (The MTF chart for the 10-18mm is a bit ugly. you get what you pay for):
keeponkeepingon: Lars or Chris from interrealtime:
It would be really great to know how this differs from or compares to the alternatives.
For example cortex camera has been out for some time now and gets better reviews on the app store:
Chris from interealtime
Thanks for the detailed response. I may have to try both apps.
Lars, it would be great if you put some comparison shots in, it would be nice to see how these compare.

Normally I think of a good kickstarter as one that creates something new that we would not have in any other way. This kickstarter is just trying to create an also-ran "me to" product that does the same things that others do or have done in the past.
An example is the Pix Star frame. It's the same price, much bigger (10 inches) and has the same or better capabilities. You can email directly to the frame or have the frame itself "Access more than 20 online providers and view pictures from web albums, including Picasa, Facebook, Flickr, Smugmug, and more"
Not mentioning current or past iterations of this same technology really gives the impression that this is just a big fat advertisement (or just very lazy journalism).
Regarding wireless, in our case my folks ISP had already provided a wireless router that they were not even using. We just had to put in the password and they were up and running.
mosc: DPR, did you miss that optical viewfinder thing on the top? All the mirrorless cameras you list don't have viewfinders! The D3300 is an APS-C sensor (a good one at that) with a viewfinder. Compared to an A6000, it's priced pretty well (D3300 is $150 cheaper). If you're going to compare it against mirrorless cameras at least note that an mirrorless with a viewfinder will set you back at least as much.
You really want a reason not to get this camera, talk to people about the old A65. Same sensor, cheaper, built in wifi (and GPS if you're into that), full coverage viewfinder, faster shooting, etc
The sony 35mm F1.8 iand 50mm F1.8 is cheaper than any Canon or Nikon prime with IS.
The 16mm prime is cheaper than anything in that range offered by canon/nikon.
Everlast66: 14,000?
I don't believe that many people bought this camera?
That's how many were put out in 3 months. According to amazon it's been in the top 100 cameras for 522 days......
And why wouldn't folks buy it? It's one of the (if not the) best superzooms in that price range.
whycantichooseaname: @hydrospanner
The K-3 is considerably smaller than the D7100, so your point is kind of invalid.
Here is a size comparison of the two - http://versus.com/en/pentax-k-3-vs-nikon-d7100
It's pretty clear that it has a smaller body, as well of smaller lenses available.
Yeah and when you combine the D7100 with a Nikon pancake lens it's nice compact package.
Oh wait.....
