All I know I was a good customer who always paid my card in full 4-5 times a year usually in 1-2 payments. Initially I thought it was due to the falling economy, but after reading more and more reports on this website I realized this has been going on for some time.
When I contacted the company, which I never had to do before. It was the most frustrating experience I could have ever imagined. Then to top it all off the person I was trying to speak to didn't speak very good English and he understood it even less. The excuse he gave me was that the bank that Aspire was dealing with (Columbus Bank) was going out of business. That's it, no selling the accounts to other credit card companies so the card holder would not lose their credit card priviledges or anything. Just were dropping you and that's it.
Outside of being very angry, I feel exploited and used and what makes it even better is knowing they still will charge interest on any balances you may have and will continue to charge the regular monthly fees as long as you carry that balance. I was planning to pay the card off in a few days anyway to go into the new year w/o any balances on any of my cards, but out of my anger and sheer spite I feel like paying them the minimum balance each month from now until HELL freezes over and just eat the very expensive interest that will accrued on that!
All in all I guess what I am in search of is to find out is there anything that can be done in a case such as this? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

you saw it live yesterday when Singletary called the huddle and a 1/3 of the players came over.
Crabtree is suggesting we go to the spread: "It enabled everybody to get open and make plays," "I was getting open the whole game," "I was doing my job. All I can do is do my job."
VD is saying the same thing: "I thought we did a better job in the second half," said Davis, "solely because we were in the spread offense and were able to get everybody involved in the passing game – running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
"They're not just keying in on one person. They've got everyone to worry about. And that's what you want to do. You don't want to be a one-dimensional team."
Alex is thinking the same, but still being forever PC.

The Anderson County Fiscal Court paused during last Tuesday's meeting to ask for prayers for an ailing magistrate.
Juretta Wells, the court's longest-tenured magistrate who represents the county's 4th District, had complications arise from a medical recent medical procedure and was recouparating at Cardinal Hill in Lexington.
"Everyone please keep her in their prayers," said County Clerk Jason Denny, who once served as a magistrate with Wells.
From staff reports
A Lawrenceburg man is behind bars months after police say he bit them, kicked them and intentionally exposed his genitals to them and others.
William Whetzel, 22, of 1042 Dan Drive was wanted on a host of charges since an incident in April on Walnut Street that started as criminal trespassing and ended up with charges that include indecent exposure.
Police say they found Whetzel working on a farm in Harrison County after he apparently posted a copy of a recent paycheck he received on his Facebook page.

Chico was in standard form Saturday morning when he pulled into the parking lot in a battered Montel Carlo with "Hazzard Life" emblazoned across one front quarter panel and a make-shift air scoop riveted to the hood — a redneck-mobile if there ever was one.
A half-hour late for a media appearance to promote his new whiskey, he jumped out, complained about how one of his tires locked up en route from his home in Gravel Switch to Lawrenceburg, and about his missing pit bull.
What is expected to be the largest concert to ever hit Lawrenceburg is being planned for May 12, when rising country music star J.D. Shelburne performs a free concert on the Lawrenceburg Green.
Joani Clark, Anderson County's elected jailer, witnessed Shelburne's huge concert earlier this summer in his hometown of Taylorsville and is trying to replicate the show that drew an estimated 4,000 fans by inviting Shelburne to perform here in an effort that will include collecting food for the Open Hands Food Pantry.
Magistrates put the final nail in county government's failed recycling experiment last Tuesday night when they voted unanimously to end cardboard recycling next month.
Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton recommended discontinuing picking up cardboard from area business, saying the county was losing too much money to provide the service.
A Franklin County man described by police as being part of a crime syndicate responsible for the rash of vehicle and building break-ins in Lawrenceburg is under arrest, Lawrenceburg Police Chief Chris Atkins confirmed this morning.
Justin Henderson of Schenkle Lane in Frankfort was arrested last night by the Frankfort County Sheriff's Office following a tip by the Lawrenceburg Police Department, Sheriff Pat Melton told The Anderson News this morning.
Two juveniles were also taken into custody.
The surest way to spark a heated debate among magistrates is to get them talking about paving roads, and last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court was no exception.
Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton asked magistrates to consider modifying the process of selecting roads to pave, which is currently done with each magistrate selecting roads in their districts and waiting to have those roads rise to the top of a rotating plan.
The Anderson Public Library will close its doors Aug. 28 to move into its temporary location as a large-scale expansion project begins.
It is scheduled to reopen Sept. 26 at 1030 B Industry Road.
The move is to accommodate the library's $4 million expansion plan to its Main Street facility, with construction expected to last approximately one year.
It was one of those nights for Anderson County's Blake Franklin. Make it one of those nights he never wants to forget.
The junior running back ran for 133 yards, three touchdowns and a two-point conversion as Anderson County rallied from a 14-7 deficit to defeat visiting George Rogers Clark, 24-14, in high school football action Friday night.
It's been a long time coming. Too long, really, but that usually goes with the territory of doing something so meaningful, so right and so fitting.
Anderson County High School will name its football field in honor of Bob Ware before Friday's home opener with George Rogers Clark. The Anderson County Board of Education approved the move in January after a lengthy process largely spearheaded by Ware's longtime friend, Teresa McWilliams.

I agree that there users should not be forced to use google recapcha. In addition to what has been said, it helps google with digitalizing the books and there might be people who do not want to help google in this - the project has many contraversories, including data licencing and unhappy authors of books beeing digitalized. Therefore users of project like openstreetmap with very different philosophy should not force its users to contribute to google digitalization.

The 2016 Plum Creek
Wilderness Sled Dog Race
Greenville, Maine
The 10th annual Plum Creek Wilderness Sled Dog Race fell victim to this winter's yo-yo weather patterns. The Greenville event was originally scheduled for February 6 and postponed to February 27 after heavy rainfall
and warm temperatures melted away prime trail
conditions just a few days before the race date. But after reassessing trails and with the upcoming weather pattern , organizers were forced to cancel the 2016 race and associated activities entirely.
The Wilderness Race governing board is committed to running a safe event for everyone and the trail inspection found that conditions were inadequate to safely run dog teams on the 70-mile and 30-mile race courses. With no significant snow accumulation predicted, trails were not expected to improve much in the near future.
The decision to cancel was made with great regret, and the race committee would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has worked hard all year to plan and prepare for the 2016 Wilderness Sled Dog Race.
The race is organized by the Wilderness Sled Dog Racing Association, a Greenville non-profit.
For more information, visit the race website

I added Plugin: Trackable Social Share Icons
It all seems to work fine, but when I test clicked on the FaceBook button, I get this;
About Chris « Custom Jewellery Co.
(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insert
I would have thought it would make a "neater looking" link that is posted on Facebook? Is there something I can change to remedy this?
I appreciate the help. I can give advice on Handmade jewellery. Computer stuff is not my strong point :)

Bieber Bondage: The Justin Bieber Final Solution
Is this the end for Justin Bieber? Has he finally been kidnapped? Is he destined to spend the rest of his days tied up, gagged with red duct tape and locked up? Or is he merely enjoying a few hours downtime in rope bondage with a ballgag strapped firmly into his mouth? Who knows? Who cares?
And for those of you that like to see shirtless film stars tied up and gagged…
Here's a roped and gagged Taylor Lautner from the 'Twilight' movies…
5 Responses to "Bieber Bondage: The Justin Bieber Final Solution"

From BlenderWiki
OpenCL Status
Cycles does have split OpenCL kernel since Blender release 2.75. It's an alternative approach to what is uses on CPU (so called megakernel). The idea behind splitting kernel is to have multiple smaller kernels which are not only simplier and faster to compile, but should also have better performance.
For now OpenCL is only enabled by default for AMD cards on Windows and Linux platforms and requires latest AMD drivers to be installed. It is possible to force enable OpenCL megakernel (which is still kept in the codebase for the reference) and also force split kernel to be used on a particular platform.
This is being controlled via environment variables. CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST controls whether OpenCL devices are to be listed in the interface. Possible values are: ALL, DEFAULT, CPU and GPU. Depending on the value of this variable according OpenCL platform will be listed in the user preferences.
If CYCLES_OPENCL_SPLIT_KERNEL_TEST is set to 1, then Cycles will force use split kernel, regardless on some hardcoded rules.
Known issues
There are some known issues which are common to all kernels and platforms:
- Baking does not deliver correct results.
For now they are considered a TODO rather than a bug.
Initial split kernel patch was done by AMD and was aimed to make Cycles render on Windows platform. This kernel works reasonably well with simple scenes, but has much harder time to work on a production files, it also lacks following features:
- Transparent shadows (they're disabled due to AMD compiler issues)
- Correlated multi jitter pattern, SSS and Volumes, which could be added to the split kernel, but prefer to focus on making existing feature set rock-solid first.
- Branched path tracing which is quite tricky to integrate into current implementation of split kernel and supporting it will mean we'll do split kernel once again.
Hardware Issues
While official statement from AMD about split kernel was that all GCN devices are to be supported, we've got several bug reports in the tracker which claims some of the GCN cards with latest drivers does not work:
- T45336, T45892 AMD FirePro W5000
- [Unreported] AMD FirePro W8000: Driver fails to compile Baking kernel (using 15.7 driver)
NOTE: We've got some workarounds in Cycles side to minimize number of features being compiled-in to absolute minimum required to render specific scene. This means simplier scene might be rendered just fine, but with more complicated shader setups kernel compilation might cause driver to crash. So in order to troubleshoot the issue please either use comprehensive scenes or disable workaorunds from Cycles side.
It's also unclear whether APU are officially advertised as supported by AMD compiler, here's a list of reports about APU support:
- Here in the studio kernel compilation for A10 works fine, but rendering gets stuck at some point. Similar issue to Split OpenCL on OSX.
Performance of split kernel is not ideal, especially on a complex scenes. This is caused by high registers pressure due to all functions being inlined.
There are also variety of reports which are caused by specific of how compiler works.
- T44943 Speed regression after proper integration of selective node compilation. it seems to be caused by different order of nodes in the switch() statement now. While we can do selective nodes support to certain extent, we can't do selective ordering of nodes. And it's not an issue on other platforms, so it's something to be improved in the driver.
AMD on OSX
AMD team who's working on OSX drivers for El Capitan (OS X 10.11) did really nice work on improving the driver which is now capable of compiling and running OpenCL megakernel. The following features are supported:
- Hard and rough surface BSDF
- Transparent shadows
- Motion blur (camera, object, deformation)
- Hair
Nothing special is needed for using OpenCL on OSX now, just go to the user preferences and enable OpenCL compute device.
The following features are to be investigated for inclusion into next Blender release:
- Correlated multi jitter noise pattern
- Volume scatter/absorption
Other features requires a bit bigger changes and will happen in one of the later releases.
This version - compiled 15 July 2015 - should work for 10.11 beta3
Split kernel status
Split kernel on OSX has some issues with reporting back ray status to the CPU (and maybe some other ones) which makes it unusable at this platform.
This is to be investigated still, more details later.
OpenCL on other platforms
OpenCL works fine on NVIDIA cards, but performance is reasonably slower (up to 2x slowdown) compared to CUDA, so it doesn't really worth using OpenCL on NVIDIA cards at this moment.
Intel OpenCL works reasonably well. It's even possible to use OpenCL to combine GPU and CPU to render at the same time, for until some more proper solution is implemented.

Rock Creek (Sierra Nat'l Fores Campground
No matter what your idea of "roughing it" is, spending time in nature is time for rejuvenation. You might not love the idea of living without toilets and running water, and that's fine - you're not alone. You can still get away from computers and telephones and see wildlife somewhere other than the zoo. You can go to sleep on a regular bed and still wake up to the sound of birdsong. Yes, you can have it both ways.
However long you want to stay at Rock Creek (Sierra Nat'l Fores Campground, whether it's just a couple of days or a week or more, don't forget to check on area attractions just in case you get bored after a day or two in a hammock. Also, it's important be aware of the fire danger level where you are, for safety reasons.
Don't wait too long to book your spot at Rock Creek (Sierra Nat'l Fores Campground in California - the best cabins and campgrounds sell out early, so check availability and book your trip right away.

My Leader in the Spotlight this week is Rebekah Radice, a true leader in her field. Rebekah Radice is a social media strategist, content developer, trainer and community manager for Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, serving as "the voice" behind the brand.
As someone that manages social media on a daily basis, Rebekah recognizes how difficult attracting new business can be in the digital era. For many small to mid-size businesses, this is due to the lack of an online strategy, poorly executed campaigns and little to no online footprint.
Rebekah's works to assist business owners with their online marketing plan, helping them capitalize on the power of an integrated social media campaign in a specific and strategic way.
Her goal is to help you stop those time sucking activities and maximize, prioritize and monetize your online efforts!
I asked her some question to try to get at the root of her success so that I could learn what makes her special. Her insightful answers provide some amazing takeaways which I hope you will take to heart.
1. You are truly a leader in the field of social media, etc… What are three or four guiding tenets for building your own business?
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Steve, for making me your Leader in the Spotlight. I truly appreciate the chance to share my knowledge and passions.
The core values or guiding principles that guide my life and business are integrity, passion, creativity, innovation, authenticity and empowerment.
My pursuit is not to be everything to everybody, but rather to give everything to help individuals. I strive to make each encounter an opportunity for me and for the person with whom I am interacting.
2. Successful entrepreneurs and leaders have great daily habits. Share two or three of your best practices.
- Quiet time every morning that allows me to start my day energized, focused and eager to tackle whatever comes my way.
- Consistently set stretch goals that allow me to live outside my comfort zone – the only place I'm every truly happy!
- Always, always, always make time for the stuff that makes me smile. Whether it's a walk with my dogs or a run to the local frozen yogurt shop, I make time within each day to enjoy life's little pleasures. I spent too many years working at a very fast pace and made a commitment to myself many years ago to never let work interfere with a life.
3. How do you define success and what does it look like?
The definition of success in my life has certainly evolved over time. Success is many things to me these days. It is the peace of mind that comes with knowing I am giving my best in any given situation. It is the satisfaction that is received recognizing that I have attacked a project and given all that I have, leaving nothing on the table. It also means that I am living up to my employer/clients expectations and have met or exceeded the promises made.
4. Who do you look to for inspiration, mentoring or leadership influence?
There are several people who are constant sources of inspiration to me. This is a small group of friends, industry colleagues and a business coach that has been with me for nearly a decade. Each is there to offer support, encouragement or in some cases, the kick in the pants I need to keep pushing forward!
5. What are a couple of things your parents taught you that you're grateful for?
My father was an incredibly hard worker and taught me the reward behind an honest days work. I have often juggled 2 or 3 jobs just to get from where I was to where I wanted to be. I have always believed that we are the masters of our own destiny, something he taught me at a very early age.
My mother taught me compassion and humility, a beautiful combination. I admire her incredible spirit and the fact that she's never met a person she didn't feel compelled to reach out to, share with and get to know in a meaningful and authentic way.
6. I know marriage and family is very important to you, how do you keep the spark alive and find balance?
Well it's no secret that juggling work and family life is an enormous challenge. The only way I know how to effectively find balance is to work at it every single day. What do I mean by this? I schedule date nights with my husband or steal him away in the afternoon to our favorite coffee shop where we can grab a spot in the sun for 15 minutes and catch up. It's the simple things that feed my soul and keep that spark alive.
7. What are two or three things an entrepreneur needs to keep an eye on to build their own personal brand?
They need to have a deep understanding of their unique abilities or value proposition, their consumer's needs and the needs of their local market. With the evolution of social media, needs change on a dime. Entrepreneurs must stay agile and willing to adjust strategy when and where it's needed.
8. How do you handle setbacks or criticism?
I have pretty thick skin and typically take criticism in stride. That being said, both setbacks and criticism can be derailing emotionally and spiritually. It can sap me of my energy and take my eyes off the target, if only momentarily. This can happen to all us from time to time, which is why it's so important to surround yourself with a solid support system. The people I mentioned above are exactly that to me. They help me see the reality in the situation and move out of the moment and back into a healthy frame of mind.
9. What are three of your favorite social media tools (with links) that are must-haves to manage and grow a business online?
Three of my favorite tools are:
Sprout Social – A Facebook and Twitter management and analytics dashboard that allows you to listen, engage and share with ease.
Bufferapp – Buffer does all of the heavy lifting for you by analyzing your social accounts and determining the best times to post. You can then schedule and auto post to maximize exposure.
Socialbro – Funny name with awesome capabilities to monitor and analyze Twitter followers, including best time to tweet.
10.What projects or engagements are you looking forward to this year?
I am attending Social Media Marketing World in April where the best and brightest from the industry will be speaking and sharing their best practices. Education is a cornerstone of my success and I love learning from those so willing to give away their hard earned knowledge!
11. What are three words that you would use to describe yourself?
Ambitious, Creative and Eager!
Thank you so much Rebekah for sharing your wonderful insights and being our Leader in the Spotlight!
Please connect with and follow Rebekah via her many online profiles!

I am another victim of Jason Becker and his deceptive marketing practices. I was researching internet businesses and responded to their ad.
They tell you that you can pay $2000 up front or you can pay $200 now and $99 for 36 months. I opted for the later deal and contacted Mr. Becker after he left numerous messages. He also told me within a few days I could be making $600/day.
After I signed up, the package came but I had to track the Federal Express delivery guy because my address was incorrect. I was not impressed with the merchandise I saw on the website and they were higher than the retail stores.
After the website was built, and I have signed the contract he told me, that I have to pay $295 for a marketing program package which originally, he had assured me was included in the original contract.
I will be contacting them on Monday November 30th to cancel this agreement. I am out of $500 and there has been no activity to my website (I was told I would have the traffic because of black Friday). What a crook Jason and this company is they are going to deduct $99 per month. I would like a refund of the money I have paid to ECX TODAY.
I am also interested to know if anyone else has filed a class action law suit against this firm. We all need to ban together and get these guys exposed so no other victims are taken.

Lemony Snicket Breaks Down Occupy Wall Street for Kids
Lemony Snicket, the pen name for Daniel Handler, has written 13 observations on Occupy Wall Street for his young readers on the Occupy Writers website, which lists authors who support the movement.
In addition to Lemony Snicket, there are original works by Francine Prose, D.A. Powell, Duncan Murrell, and Anne Waldman.
One of Lemony Snicket's observations is, "99 percent is a very large percentage. For instance, easily 99 percent of people want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, and the occasional slice of cake for dessert. Surely an arrangement can be made with that niggling 1 percent who disagree."

Some photographic situations require specific color corrections like the Kodak 3x3in (75mm) Yellow - CC40Y - Color Compensating Wratten Gel Filter. For example, when shooting daylight film under fluorescent lighting, some magenta correction is needed in order to remove the greenish tint that would otherwise appear. The amount of color correction required is most accurately measured via a color temperature meter. Color Compensating filters are made of gelatin and are available in the three primary colors: Red, Green, and Blue; and in the three secondary colors: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. A typical designation for one of these filters is CC30M. The "CC" stands for Color Compensating. The "30" stands for a density of 0.30 and the "M" is for magenta. Kodak color compensating filters are made in the following increasing densities: 0.025(CC025), 0.05(CC05), 0.10(CC10), 0.20(CC20), 0.30(CC30), 0.40(CC40), 0.50(CC50). You can sandwich as many as three filters together without a noticeable loss of image quality.Most Kodak gelatin filters are available in 3 x 3" (75 x 75mm), 4 x 4" (100 x 100mm), 6 x 6" (150 x 150mm), and 14 x 18" (350 x 450mm).

Liam Hemsworth Encouraged by His Brothers to Break Up With Miley Cyrus
Luke and Chris Hemsworth were reportedly so worried about their younger brother's rocky relationship with Miley Cyrus that they staged an intervention. Luke and Chris allegedly advised Liam Hemsworth to break things off with the "Can't Be Tamed" singer.
"They want him to end the romance for good," a source told Us Weekly. Chris and Luke Hemsworth, both of whom are happily married to their respective spouses, allegedly thought his engagement to the former Disney star wouldn't work because what they had was unhealthy.
Liam and Miley are indeed rarely seen making a public appearance together these past few days. The couple who got engaged last summer after dating on and off for about two years aren't officially over yet, but rumor suggested "Liam's pulling away."
The twosome first met on the set of 2010's movie "The Last Song" and has been dating on and off ever since. They were repeatedly hit with breakup rumors with the latest one emerging when she was spotted without her engagement ring earlier this year.
In an interview with V magazine, Miley cited their busy schedules as the reason why they tend to spend plenty of time apart. "I'm not home with my boyfriend all the time. We work," she said. "I don't have time go to Starbucks with my boyfriend every morning. I wish I did, but I don't."
"I'd rather chill at my house and be there for the time I actually get to spend with him. And then I'm at the studio all day. He gets up to work out at six and I come home at five from the studio."
As for now, the singer puts her album on top of her priority list. "I've put this record before everything and I've never done that before. I've put too much into this record to put anything else in front of it," she explained.

Wilshere in England injury storm: Jack Wilshere is at the centre of a club v country storm after sustaining an injury while on international duty for England against Germany, reports the Daily Mail. The paper claims that Roy Hodgson's decision to play the midfielder on Tuesday's friendly angered the Gunners as they had requested he plays only in one of the two recent matches. He took a hefty knock on his ankle in the 1-0 defeat, leaving Arsenal "stunned" their plea was ignored.
Paper Round's view: Without any quotes from Arsenal - or even a Gunners 'source' - there doesn't seem too much weight behind this story. If there is any 'storm', it's only in a teacup.

Clarke could leave West Brom: West Brom run the risk of losing manager Steve Clarke for nothing in the summer after failing to open contract talks, reports the Daily Mirror. Baggies owner Jeremy Peace is yet to table even an initial offer with just seven months left on Clarke's current deal and rival clubs may be tempted to act on the situation and try to snare Clarke.
Paper Round's view: Clarke has done well since arriving at The Hawthorns and fully deserves a new deal. There is nothing to suggest he won't be offered something and considering he is known to want to build something at West Brom, it doesn't seem too likely he will jump ship.

Liverpool to bid for Mitroglou: Liverpool will launch a £7 million bid for Greece striker Kostas Mitroglou, reports the Daily Mirror. The paper claims that the Reds were impressed with what they saw on a scouting mission to watch the Olympiacos star score a vital goal as Greece qualified for the World Cup finals.
Paper Round's view: Not a bad buy at just £7m, considering he has netted four hat-tricks this season, 14 goals in 10 league games and six in his last seven international matches, and it would be easy to see why Brendan Rodgers would want him on his bench as back-up for Sturridge and Suarez. But just why is he so cheap?
- - -
Draxler hints at summer Arsenal move: Schalke star Julian Draxler has told Arsenal to forget about signing him in January, but suggested they may have a chance in the summer. The Daily Mirror reports that the Germany midfielder has a €45million buy-out clause in his contract and that Arsene Wenger is a big admirer of the 20-year-old. He ruled out a move in the New Year, so as not to disrupt his World Cup plans, but admitted: "I've said every summer I have to look what is the best for me and I will do in the summer again and we will see what happens."
Paper Round's view: That does sound like a man who is tempted by a move in the summer, especially if he can improve his remuneration at the Emirates. And what a signing he would be for Wenger, not least because Chelsea are after him too.

Update on Markins?
Has anyone actually used the 2 new Markins ball heads? I contacted the new US distributor of the ball heads H-Industrial Solutions - Eric Yang who says that in order to reduce costs they currently decided to distribute directly to end-users. They forwarded some references of people using the Markin's ball head and are sending some brochures to me. The quoted price is $290 for either one of the new models with quick release. The pictures they sent to me are different than the pictures on the web page (black ball heads)as they show an anodized blue and a polished stainless looking ball head.
Information they sent me is below,
Here is quick review and price for the ball head.
Ball Head Model: M2-PQ M1-PQI
Dim. (mm): 48 x 68 x 102 h 44 x 62 x 100 h
Weight: 510 grams (18 oz) 580 grams (20.5 oz)
Max. Load : 45 Kgs ( 99 lbs) 45 Kgs ( 99 lbs)
Quick shoe included Quick shoe included
Price: $290.- $290.- All FOB Los Angeles
Shipping and CA tax is not included.
If anyone can write their experiences with it that would be great.

I have two of the new Markins heads and have been using mine since June. If you found the original posting I made here, you can see the story behind my getting them. Here's the link to the thread:
The M2 is the older, larger ballhead. I've had one of those for a year and a half. Excellent quality and action.
The M1 is newer, smaller, and lighter but has the same high performance. The PQ designation means the head has a panning base and quick release. The I designation means the base is inscribed with degree marks.
Do you have an email address and/or contact information for Eric Yang? Please post it here so anyone interested can follow up. I know that SnakePlissken bought a Markins head a couple of months back through Eric and he's very pleased with the purchase.
Let me know if you have specific questions that I can answer.
#2. "RE: Update on Markins?" | In response to Reply # 1Fri 09-Nov-01 06:48 PM
Yes I do have specific questions. Do you have any probelms with lens creep on the ball head once locked up with a long lens? - From the pictures it looks to be the same/similar design to the Arca-B1 with the friction setting built into the main lock knob - is this the case? Do you own other ball heads that you can compare it with? Will RRS plates work on this head? How about use in cold weather conditions? -

Markins reply
There's no creep with the head locked with the heaviest lens/body combo I have (F100, 80-400 VR zoom or previously the 50-500 Sigma zoom).
The main lock knob friction adjustment works just like the Arca B1. You can set the minimum tension stop by turning the inset dial. I can set a tension that allows me to adjust the camera position, but which won't let the camera slip if I release my grip. The Markins QR is fully compatible with any Arca style plate. I recommend RRS or Kirk plates (I like Kirk because of the easier ordering process).
The Markins plates are "semi custom". They don't offer the tailored fit of a full custom plate and each is designed to fit a range of cameras or lens mounts. The Markins plates are adequate for lighter cameras, but I prefer custom plates although they cost twice as much.
The Markins head, like the Kirk has a round ball rather than the elliptical ball of the Arca B1. The Arca design makes the tension increase as the head is tilted, thus providing the most "anti-flop" performance. The problem with this design is that the head can vibrate into a jammed position if you transport it without fully releasing the clamp. This is usually only an annoyance since there's field a procedure to unjam the head, but I did read at least one report where the jam couldn't be fixed in the field using large pliers for leverage. There's also the hassle of having to remember to loosen the clamp and then having to carry your tripod with a head that's moving around.
Operation of the Markins heads has been smooth always - in near zero weather or summer heat. I highly recommend them.
#4. "Markins Update" | In response to Reply # 0
Hi YogiBear....I received an email and sent a reply directly to the source and I trust you have received that message.
In that message I forgot to mention I have just recently purchased the Markins Q-Ball M1-PQi ballhead in mid August. My Markins ballhead has a black finish with the indexing. The Markins ballhead I received is most excellent and I have not encountered any problems whatsoever with the product. The operation is smooth and precise.
As BJ mentioned, I am thoroughly pleased with the Markins ballhead and the personal service I received from both Mr. B.I. Mah and Eric Yang was second to none.
The Markins product certainly has exceeded my expectations. The machining, materials, workmanship, finish, etc. on my ballhead is nothing short of magnificent. I would not hesitate recommending this "gem" (i.e. Markins ballheads) to anyone in search of a quality ballhead to last a lifetime.
I personally do not think there currently is much to compare the Markins ballhead to at their current price point. BJ...Maybe the Kirk?
I would add that the Arca Swiss may be one of Markins closest competitors and BJ can tell you that ballhead has its drawbacks albeit its "cult" like following: ballhead freezing, price, availability, etc. issues.
I also did purchase a custom plate from Kirk to fit one of my cameras and it works flawlessly with the Markins ballhead and quick release.
My opinion is I don't think you could go wrong by purchasing one of the Markins ballheads. I must admit my Markins ballhead is certainly a superb piece of craftmanship.
Then I ask....A Markins ballhead....Why not?
#6. "RE: Markins Update" | In response to Reply # 4Mon 12-Nov-01 04:47 PM
Well I just talked got confirmation from Markins,
For a group purchase of 10 or more there will be a 10% discount making the head around the $260 range + shipping if anyone is interested please let me know and we can probably get the Nikonians group purchase started.
Al, a.k.a. Yogi Bear
#7. "RE: Markins Update" | In response to Reply # 6Mon 12-Nov-01 05:18 PM
~$260.00 is a killer deal for the Markins ballhead, Almon! That is not implying Markins price for purchasing a single ballhead is not attractive either. It would be great if 10 people could be rounded up for the "group purchase!"
Now would be a good opportunity for all those individuals that are interested in a first rate ballhead to "quit testing the pond waters with their toes and jump in head first!
#8. "RE: Markins Update" | In response to Reply # 7Kurt M Registered since 30th Mar 2002Sat 30-Mar-02 10:35 PM
For the last month or so, I've been reading, as a non-registered guest, Nikonians' posts regarding various equipment items, including ballheads. These discussions have been very helpful for me--Thank You. (Beginning today, I'm a registered Nikonian.)
Decision came down to either a Markins M1 or a Kirk BH-3 ballhead. Decided upon the Markins for slightly less height and weight (very slightly), and one fewer external knobs to get snagged (friction control is located within the main control knob on the Markins, but a separate knob on the Kirk). Also, the favorable reviews from Nikonians.
So, 5 days ago I tracked down Eric Yang and ordered a Markins M1-PQI ballhead. Was a little nervous since he's acting as a one-man distributor for these products, but the item arrived yesterday as promised (COD, paid with a check, only 2 days after I confirmed with him by email that I wanted to place an order).
It's a beautiful piece of craftmanship! It will sit atop a compact Gitzo 1126 set of legs (also just acquired). Entire set-up is just 20 inches tall collapsed and 4.1 lbs, including the Arca-Swiss style QR clamp.
I won't be able to put it to use until a RRS plate for my N6006 camera body arrives, however. I ordered it yesterday.
Let me know if anyone wants further info on the quirky process of acquiring a Markins ballhead.
Kurt in Flagstaff

Welcome to the wonderful world of Markins ballheads. I am sure you will be as pleased with your new "Q-Ball" as I have been. They are, as you have alluded to in your message, a fine piece of workmanship. The Q-Balls appear to be built to last a lifetime.

Seven days later the returned the payment and told us we were in default. I was able to get a hold on the foreclosure while we supposedly filed for a modification on this house. I sent 3 months bank statements, proof of income, and my 2008 tax return which has 55 pages as we had a dream of owning 10 houses by the time we retire. There are 5 schedule E's and my husband is a truck driver as I was until I was injured on the job, denied my workers comp, went 8 months without any income. We then received a phone call from Anthony Nugen (pronounced Win) telling us we could not get a modification because we did not make enough money? daaaa So I sent them a financial report showing us having $1200.00 left over each month.
So he allegedly started another modification application. In June I received a letter dated April 16 saying they could not modify because of lack of contact! How do you loose contact with the people in the house? So I called frantic and told them that Mr. Nugen's message says do not leave multiple messages because it will only take longer to return his call. They told me to re-submit all doc,s for the third time. I begged them since Sept. of 2009 to please take the $729.00 payment they refused. Saying when you are in default we can not except a payment! They sent me a letter telling me my last submission was incomplete... That they can not except my bank statements as proof of income and for me to submit the award letter for my SSD and my husbands SSI award letter. That notice was dated June 15. June 24 (my husbands birthday) they sold the house to and put a letter on my sisters door to vacate.
I contacted an attorney online and she informed me that this was illegal and I needed to file a motion to set aside the sale because they had not followed proper procedure thus denying us due process of law. I contacted a Redding CA attorney and he told me that "it is not just a motion, it is a law suit and they cost lots of money and that the BANKS have lots and lots of money and have been able to do what ever they want with these foreclosures. We bought this little dam house, built when Shasta dam was built in 1989 it was our second rental property. We paid off the private party we bought it from and borrowed $40,000.00 with EMC mortgage Co. paid them for years without one payment being late. In 2005 we completely re-modeled it and borrowed $50,000.00 on it.
Still we paid as agreed to AMC. Then the real estate market crashed, citi lending took over AMC or bought it the home owner knows nothing of these transactions. They immediately jacked the interest from7.5 to 8.5%. On Oct 18 2009 we received a form letter telling us that our interest rate of 7.5000% had been lowered to 7.25000% and that our new payment would be $723.00. I then called (which is a 23 minute delay before you talk to a person.) They refused to except the payment, I told them I wanted to go before a foreclosure judge. In their default notice it states that they can take the house without going to court! We have no money for an attorney, we can only get a modification on our primary residence.
We can't file bankruptcy because we don't owe enough on our first home, and they will take it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP? We have two houses in Shasta Lake this one and another that we have a modification on, and have been trying for two years to give away to anyone that wants to take it. Talk about the silent victims. What about the people with a real estate dream for retirement? Why are landladys and landlords treated like some kind of criminal because they own more then one house? PLEASE HELP STOP THESE HOME RIP OFF COMPANIES. Kat from Coquille OR
