This company will steal your money! I ordered one item, a waffle iron on 05/10/2013, the same day two other orders showed up on my bank statement. Nomorerack.com charged two other orders to my debit card! I emailed them 4 times and called an spoke with no one. Nomorerack.com is a rip off company and a scam. Do no order from them. I had to close my debit card, go to the bank and order new cards and complete a fraud report. One big mess!! I wish I would have read about them before I ordered anything, then I would have known the type of business they are running. I will never order anything from Nomorerack.com. I hope they get shut down soon!

I only wanted to try it I never committed to continue, their website does not state what they have done. I happened to check my bank account and saw an outrageous charge for $59.99 for this tiny amount of cheap makeup. When I called customer service I was told I had joined their club just by receiving their product and before I could be credited the $59.99 I would have to send all the the makeup back.
It is Christmas time and I exist on Social Security Disability which is a small amount of money. This charge has caused several transactions I have made to bounce since I'm running so close during the holidays.

No. 06/351,917 filed Feb. 24, 1982 for PORTABLE REMOTE TERMINAL WITH HEAD HELD DISPLAY, abandoned, all such applications being incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to communication systems and, more particularly, to a system with the capability of communicating stereoscopic video signals, along with stereophonic audio signals, over telecommunication lines.
Common voice grade telephone lines have been utilized for a number of years in connection with the transmission and reception of signals other than strictly voice derived signals. Present day voice grade telephone lines are metallic conductors and have a standard bandwidth of about 300 to 3400 Hz. This narrow bandwidth imposes limitations in the use of conventional voice grade telephone lines for purposes other than voice communication and relatively slow data communications. Attempts to provide visual communication between conversing parties have been limited by the narrow bandwidth of conventional telephone lines to relatively slow-scan pictures, essentially still pictures which are updated at relatively long intervals.
In some senses, the use of full color in image recording and display is looked upon as an unnecessary luxury. However, to a great degree, color can often provide a means for optically distinguishing between parts of an image which would have similar gray tones in a black and white image. Thus, color adds picture detail which can convey important information about a recorded scene. In a similar manner, stereoscopic recording and display of an image can convey important pictorial information which may otherwise be missed in a monoscopic rendering. This can be especially true in analyzing images of unknown subjects. The value of stereoscopy has long been recognized in the analysis of reconnaissance photographs. It is also true in areas such as diagnostic medical imaging.
One of the problems of recording, communicating, and displaying full color, full motion, and stereoscopic images is that each enhancement of the pictorial detail of a recorded image greatly increases the amount of data which represents the image and which must be processed and communicated. Although there are known video data compression techniques which would allow full motion color video signals to be communicated over conventional voice grade lines, such techniques are inherently "lossy". While such loss in picture fidelity may be tolerable for entertainment types of imaging, such loss of detail is often intolerable in more serious types of imaging, such as medical and scientific imaging.
The emergence of fiber optics as a communication medium is projected to provide many advantages over conductive wires in signal communications including lower signal loss over a given distance, much higher immunity to interference from external sources, very low radiation of interference, and much greater signal bandwidth. There are proposals for wideband switching networks which are expected to eventually replace the narrow bandwidth wiring and switching equipment of present day telephone systems. There are also proposals for integrating present day telephone communication systems with cable television systems and additionally with other services such as data communications and interactive data communications.
The present invention provides a stereoscopic video telecommunication system for intercommunicating wideband signals, including stereoscopic video signals and stereophonic audio signals, over a wideband switching network. In general, each subscriber installation of the wideband network may include a stereo audio/video source, a stereo audio/video receiver device, device interfaces which convert between analog signals for the source and receiver and digital signals for the network, and a network interface which interfaces digital electrical signals of the subscriber installation to the digital optical signals which are communicated over the wideband switching network. Each subscriber installation may also include data communication devices, such as computers, facsimile (fax) machines, or the like, and a conventional telephone for conventional telephonic communications. Some subscriber installations may only use narrowband services, such as telephone and data communication services, and may be billed at a lower rate. Other installations may only use monoscopic video capabilities.
The subscriber installations or stations cooperate with a wideband switching network which is fiber optic based. A switching network controller, such as a large high throughput computer, controls the routing of signals from calling stations to called stations. Additionally, the controller records network usage for billing purposes. The switching network incorporates signal amplifiers for maintaining signal strengths along the trunks and branches of the communication lines of the network.
The principal objects of the present invention are: to provide improved and more versatile telecommunication capabilities; to provide, particularly, a system having the capability of communicating stereoscopic video signals along with stereophonic audio signals between remote stations interconnected by a wideband telecommunication network; to provide such a system including a stereoscopic video source at one or more of the stations of the network, such as stereoscopic video camera pairs, stereoscopic video storage devices, computer generated stereoscopic images, and the like to provide stereoscopic video signals representing still and moving stereoscopic images; to provide such a system including video display devices, particularly stereoscopic video display devices, at one or more of the stations of the network; to provide such a system including headworn stereoscopic video display devices; to provide such a system including stereophonic audio sources at some of the stations, including sources of stereophonic audio signals associated with stereoscopic video signals; to provide such a system including stereophonic audio receivers at some of the stations to decode and play stereophonic audio signals received from other stations; to provide such a system including analog to digital converters (ADC's) to convert analog signals from the video and audio sources to digital signals for communication on the network and digital to analog converters (DAC's) to convert digital signals received over the network to analog signals for use by the video displays and audio play devices; to provide such a system having the capability of communicating digital data over the network, such as text data, facsimile data, and the like; to provide such a system having the capability of carrying conventional voice telephone conversations over the network; to provide such a system capable of carrying multiple channels of signals representing video images for purposes such as full motion video conferencing between multiple stations on the network; and to provide such a stereoscopic video telecommunication system which is economical to manufacture, which is versatile in operation, and which is particularly well adapted for its intended purpose.
Other objects 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, include exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the principal components of a stereoscopic video telecommunication system embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the principal transmitting components of a subscriber station of the stereoscopic video telecommunication system of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating the principal receiving components of the telecommunication system of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an exemplary head supported stereoscopic video display for use in the system of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an exemplary stereoscopic video camera with stereophonic microphones for use in the system of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a simplified block diagram illustrating components of a stereoscopic video camera for use in the system of the present invention.
As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments aremerely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein arenot to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims andas a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
Referring to the drawings in more detail:
The reference numeral 1 generally designates a stereoscopic video telecommunication system which embodies the present invention. In general,the system 1 provides duplex wideband communications over a wideband switching network 2 between wideband service subscriber stations 3 and provides duplex narrowband communications between wideband stations 3, between wideband stations 3 and narrowband service subscriber stations 4, and between narrowband stations 4.
Each wideband subscriber station 3 includes wideband devices, such as a stereo audio/video (A/V) source 7 and a stereo audio/video (A/V) receiver 8. The A/V source 7 generates a stereoscopic video signal representing a stereoscopic view of an image sensed by the A/V source 7 and additionally generates a stereophonic audio signal. The A/V receiver 8 is capable of displaying stereoscopic images derived from a stereoscopic video signal and audibly playing a stereophonic audio signal. The A/V source 7 is coupled to the network 2 by source interface circuitry 9 and network interface circuitry 10. The A/V receiver 8 is coupled to the network 2 by receiver interface circuitry 11 and the network interface circuitry 10. The wideband station 3 may also include narrowband devices, such as a computer 14, a facsimile machine or fax 15, and a conventional telephone 16, all of which are interfaced through the network interface circuitry 10. The computer 14 is coupled to the network interface circuitry 10 by means of a universal asynchronous receive/transmit device or UART 17, which may be incorporated in a conventional modem.
The narrowband stations 4 may incorporate a conventional telephone 16 alongwith network interface circuitry 10. Additionally, other narrowband devicesmay be utilized, such as a computer 14 and a fax 15. Thus, narrowband communications, such as conventional telephone conversations, are possiblebetween wideband stations 3 and other wideband stations 3, between widebandstations 3 and narrowband stations 4 and between narrowband stations 4, andbetween narrowband stations 4 and other narrowband stations 4.
The wideband switching network 2 provides point-to-point communications between the subscriber stations 3 and 4 connected to the network 2 under the control of a switching network controller 19, which is a digital computer. Connections between the various subscriber stations 3 and 4 are established on a dial-up basis by use of telephone sets 16 or by use of computers 14, in the manner of conventional telephone service. The controller 19 decodes dialed number codes to enable a communication link between the calling station and the called station. The subscriber stations 3 and 4 are interconnected to the network 2 by fiber optic media to provide wideband capabilities to all subscriber stations 3 and 4, although utilization of the wideband capabilities requires wideband devices at the subscriber stations.
The network 2 has the capability, within the bandwidth and throughput limits of the network 2, of providing a simultaneous connection between a single wideband station 3 and a plurality of wideband stations 3 to provide the capability of sending a single stereoscopic video signal to a plurality of receiving stations. Additionally, for video conferencing, thenetwork 2 can simultaneously interconnect multiple wideband stations 3 to enable each participant in a conference to see the other participants. Additional details of wideband switching networks can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,441,180; 4,769,833; and 4,891,694 which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates the principal transmitting components 21 of a wideband station 3. A left video camera unit 23 and a right video camera unit 24 form a stereoscopic camera assembly 25 and are optically converged on a subject to provide a pair of analog stereoscopic video signals representing a stereoscopic image or view of the subject. The individual left and right video signals are digitized by respective left and right analog to digital converters (ADC) 26 and 27. The video signals generated by the left and right cameras 23 are synchronized by a common synchronization generator circuit (SYNC GEN) 28. The left and right ADC'S 26 and 27 are coordinated or synchronized by a common sample clock 29 which is synchronized to the video frames from the cameras 23 and 24 by a signal derived from the sync generator 28. The sample clock 29 coordinatesthe digitization of the video signals and functions as a timing reference for other circuitry of the transmitting components 21.
The transmitting components 21 include left and right microphones 31 and 32which are connected through suitable audio amplifiers 33 and 34 to respective analog to digital converters 35 and 36. The microphones 31 and 32 form a stereophonic microphone set 37 to generate a stereophonic audio signal or signal pair. A telephone microphone 39 of the telephone set 16 is connected through an audio amplifier 40 to a telephone analog to digital converter 41. The UART 17 converts data outgoing from the computer14 from a parallel format to a serial format and converts incoming data to the computer 14 from serial to parallel. The UART 17 receives a clock reference from the sample clock 29.
The analog to digital converters 26, 27, 35, 36, and 41, along with the UART 17 of the computer 14, are all connected to a multiplexer (MUX) 43 which time-division multiplexes the digital signals from the various transmitting components 21, in relation to a data frame reference or frameflag 45 which is derived from the sample clock 29, for conversion of the electrical bit stream from the multiplexer 43 to a stream of light pulses by an optical fiber transmitter 47. The fiber transmitter 47 is connected to the network 2 by a transmitting optical fiber 48. The transmitting components 21 can incorporate compression circuitry (not shown) between the analog to digital converters 26 and 27, particularly, and the multiplexer 43 to reduce to overhead required on the network 2 by the video signals from the cameras 23 and 24. There are standard video compression routines and hardware available which can reduce the number ofbits required to represent moving video images by factors of one hundred toone and greater, with little loss in detail. Such compression routines and hardware would be known to those skilled in the pertinent arts. The cameraassembly 25, sync generator 28, microphones 37, and amplifiers 33 and 34 form the stereo audio/video source 7 shown in FIG. 1. The analog to digital converters 26, 27, 35, and 36 generally form the source interface 9. The sample clock 29, frame flag circuitry 45, multiplexer 43, and fibertransmitter 47 generally form a transmitting part of the network interface 10.
Each wideband station 3 also includes receiving components 50 which are shown in more detail in FIG. 3. The receiving components 50 are coupled tothe network 2 by a receiving optical fiber 52 through fiber receiving circuitry 53 which converts the light pulses on the receiving fiber 52 to an electrical bit stream. A demultiplexer (DEMUX) 55 separates digital data for the various devices of the receiving components 50 in relation toa frame reference derived from the bit stream by frame detector and clock recovery circuitry 56. It should be noted that successful operation of thesystem 1 depends on all stations 3 and 4 employing standardized communication protocols and data formats.
The components 50 include respective left and right video digital to analogconverters 58 and 59 which are connected by respective filters 60 and 61 toleft and right video displays or monitors 62 and 63. The converters 58 and 59 receive left and right digital video signals and, in cooperation with the filters 60 and 61 and as timed by clock signals from the clock recovery circuitry 56, convert the digital signals to analog video signalsto drive the displays 62 and 63. The displays 62 and 63 form components of a stereoscopic video display 64. Alternatively, a single video display canbe employed in cooperation with LCD shutters (not shown) in which left and right video frames or fields are alternately displayed in coordination with activation of the shutters, a technique which is employed in some types of stereoscopic displays.
Left and right stereophonic audio signals are recovered from the bit streamby left and right digital to analog converters 67 and 68, left and right low pass filters 69 and 70, audio power amplifiers 71 and 72, and left andright speakers 73 and 74. The speakers 73 and 74 may be combined to form a stereophonic audio output device 75, such as a pair of stereophonic headphones. In a similar manner, a conventional telephone audio signal is recovered by a digital to analog converter 78, a low pass filter 79, an audio amplifier 80, and a telephone speaker 81. The computer 14 receives telecommunicated data by way of the UART 17, which is bidirectional and can process data in either an outgoing or incoming direction. The frame detector and clock recovery circuitry 56 provides clock references for thedigital to analog converters 58, 59, 67, 68, and 78, and the UART 17. In the receiving components 50, the video displays 64, speakers 75, and amplifiers 71 and 72 form the stereo audio/video receiver 8 of FIG. 1. Thereceiver interface 11 is generally formed by the digital to analog converters 58, 59, 67, 68, and associated filters 60, 61, 69, and 70. The fiber receiver 53, demultiplexer 55, and frame detector and clock recoverycircuitry 56 form a receiving part of the network interface 10 of the generalized system shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary headworn stereo audio/video output device 83 which may be used for viewing stereoscopic video and hearing stereophonic audio. The device 83 incorporates the stereoscopic video display pair 75. Preferably, the displays 64 are in the form of color liquid crystal displays (LCD's) along with suitable close focusing optics (not shown). The speaker pair 75 are mechanically interconnected by a resilient headband 84 which supports the device 83 on the head of a user. Signals to the displays 64 and 75 are received from the stereo audio/videoreceiver 8 by means of a cable 85. The device 83 may include a user microphone 86 for telephonic communication over the telephone set 16 or for voice-recognition commands to control the source 7, receiver 8, or computer 14 by circuitry not detailed herein.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate an exemplary audio/video source 7 including the stereoscopic camera assembly 25, an articulated camera support 88 such as a tripod, and stereophonic microphones 31 and 32. Each of the cameras 23 and 24 includes a respective video sensor array 90 or 91 (FIG. 6) along with a respective optics and autofocus unit 92 or 93. The camera units 23 and 24 are pivotally mounted and mechanically interconnected to a convergence motor 95 for coordinated converging of the optical axes of thecamera units 23 and 24 at a common range. This is especially desirable at closer subject ranges so that the cameras 23 and 24 can properly scan a scene or subject stereoscopically. Operation of the convergence motor 95 is controlled by a convergence controller 96. The convergence distance canbe set manually by a manual convergence input 97. Alternatively, the convergence controller 96 may receive inputs from the autofocus units 92 and 93. The video arrays 90 and 91 are preferably color capable and are controlled by conventional video circuitry 99, which may include the sync generator 28. The arrays 90 and 91 provide left and right analog video signals to the circuitry 99 for conversion to a desired standard video format.
The use of stereoscopic video is more appropriate in scientific, industrial, and medical applications where the higher cost of wideband services can be justified by the importance of the work involved. An exemplary use of the system 1 employing stereoscopic video is in communicating stereoscopic images of a surgical procedure, as for teachingor consultative purposes. A video library of recorded stereoscopic images of subjects, such as surgical procedures, may be recorded, for example using a type of stereoscopic laser disc system similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,706,117, which is incorporated herein by reference. A wideband station 3 could be employed to access such procedures from such alibrary. Although not illustrated in FIG. 2, the transmitting components 21could include a stereoscopic video playback device. Similarly, the receiving components 50 could include a stereoscopic recording device.
In many wideband subscriber stations 3, stereoscopic video is not required and may be configured with monoscopic or conventional two-dimensional video capabilities with either monophonic or stereophonic audio capability. Such a monoscopic wideband station 3 would be appropriate for most telephonic communication with the addition of monoscopic video transmission of images of the conversing parties. Such monoscopic capabilities would also be appropriate for the distribution of conventional video recordings of motion pictures.
It is to be understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to thespecific forms or arrangement of parts described and shown.

text: Hello there, I purchased the pro version a month ago and recently upgraded to the latest release. The name field (first name and last name) are not aligned after the upgrade. I have this field on almost all my forms as digital signature. I also tried removing the field and adding it again. Still not showing right. I remember I saw this issue when I first install the plug and it was fixed in the v2.2, but not it's appearing again. You can take a look here: http://www.bokehstory.com/clients/forms-library/print-release/ Please advise how to fix this issue ASAP. Thanks!

North Central Region 4-H Volunteer e-Forums 2015
The North Central Region Extension Volunteer Specialists are planning the 2015 4-H Volunteer e-Forums for Teen and Adult Volunteers, parents/caregivers, and Extension staff. A good cross section of ND counties participated in the e-Forums held in 2011 and 2013. I am hoping we have wonderful participation from ND for the 2015 e-forums.
Please consider hosting one or more of these events in your county. They are a wonderful way to join 11 other NCR states in receiving 4-H Volunteer training virtually. In ND, counties who host this series of online trainings will receive $100 per session reimbursement to cover some of the costs of hosting a site which may include stacks, handouts, etc. upon completion of the session evaluation.
For more information, promotional bookmarks, flyers, and to register your site for the webinars visit the NCR 4-H Volunteer e-Forum 2015 site at: http://fyi.uwex.edu/ncrvd/4-h-volunteer-e-forum/
To get an idea of the format of the e-forums you can view the Adobe Connect archives of the 2011 and 2013 4-H Volunteer e-forums from this site too. These online archives are wonderful training resources.
Please mark these dates on your calendar and share them with those involved with 4-H in your county and please contact Rachelle Vettern if you are interested in hosting. A host site facilitator training webinar will be held September 24, 2015 at 2 pm CST. This is not mandatory, but is being offered to assist with planning and hosting these events.

What Prepaid Faceoffs Do You Want to See?July 31st, 2015 | Administrative, FAQ, Prepaid Faceoff | 2 Comments
Hey everyone! As you've probably noticed, this month we've started to bring back the Prepaid Faceoff posts, where we pit one company against another based on what their promotions and plans look like that week! The series has had a lot of views, and we're certainly not going to run out of MVNOs anytime soon.
However, I wanted to take a minute today and see what companies you, my awesome readers, are interested in seeing compared and what specific features interest you! Read on and give us some feedback!
Merry Christmas from Prepaid Reviews!December 24th, 2014 | Administrative | No Comments
In honor of the holiday season, I just wanted to take today to wish everyone a (slightly early) Merry Christmas!
We'll be back tomorrow with some ideas on what to do with that snazzy new smartphone that's waiting under the tree! So be sure to check back and in the meantime, have a great holiday!
Happy New Year from Prepaid ReviewsJanuary 1st, 2010 | Administrative | No Comments
Thanks to everyone who read and supported us in 2009. We can only hope that prepaid spreads in 2010. And when it does, we'll be here to cover it. Happy New Year everyone.
The Prepaid Press Expo attracts even more this yearSeptember 1st, 2009 | Administrative | No Comments
As I mentioned last week, I attended the Prepaid Press Expo 2009 out in Las Vegas. It was an excellent gathering of industry professionals spanning all areas of prepaid services. Obviously I was there for the wireless, and the presenters were simply excellent. Turns out many people found it useful. It was 35 percent bigger than last year, when I made my first appearance. Here's to hoping that it's even bigger next year. I'll probably be occupying the moderator's seat at the podium on Day 2, so if you happen to be in town for the event, make sure to say hi. (As if you'll remember this a year from now.) Thanks to Robin Tobias, Al Fross, Gene Retske, and everyone else who made it a worthwhile event.
Survey says…November 16th, 2007 | Administrative | No Comments
Hey all. We've noticed some positive trends here at Prepaid Reviews over the past few months, and, by golly, we'd like to see them continue. We've read your comments, both on the blog and at our user reviews. But now it's time to tell us a little about yourself.
If you could, please, fill out this brief survey. We swear, there won't be any questions to trip you up or any hidden meanings behind anything. It'll just be a quick way for us to figure out how to adapt to our current readership.
Thanks, all. It's much appreciated. As always, you can always hit us with an e-mail if you have a question or concern.

Bipolar disorder, or bipolar mood disorder, used to be called 'manic depression'. It is a psychiatric illness characterised by extreme mood swings. A person may feel euphoric and extremely energetic, only to drop into a period of paralysing depression, in a cycle of elation followed by sadness. The exact cause is unknown and a number of factors may be involved, although a genetic predisposition has been clearly established.
It is estimated that around one in 50 Australians develops this illness, which affects men and women equally. Most of those affected are aged in their 20s when first diagnosed.
Bipolar disorder typically involves extreme moods of mania and depression – each lasting days, weeks or even months. Some people experience more highs than lows, others report more lows than highs. The severity of the mood swings and the symptoms will also vary from person to person. The person may be affected so much that they experience the symptoms of psychosis and are unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.
Common symptoms include:
The underlying mechanisms of bipolar disorder are not fully understood, although a strong genetic predisposition has been established. One theory is that the illness might be linked to particular brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) called serotonin and norepinephrine that help regulate mood. In a person with bipolar disorder, it is thought that these chemicals are easily thrown out of balance.
Other contributing factors may include stressors in life that can trigger episodes of illness.
When people experience an acute episode of mania or depression, they often require immediate care and treatment. These episodes can often be prevented by regular medication such as lithium.
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition, but options may include:

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Problem 1: When I came in to pick it up, the first thing I noticed was that the disc drive would no longer shut. It was unusable. (The drive was not brand-new and no longer popped out on its own, but it was fully functional and had never given me any trouble in the year I had owned the laptop.) When I brought it up, the guy (whose name is Rashad, unsure of exact spelling) insisted that it was broken when I brought it in. I produced the paperwork, where he had written that the only problem was "scratched." He said that it was obvious when I brought it in that the drive was broken. I was appalled at this complete lie. He and I both knew that he would have written "broken disc drive" if it was broken when I brought it in. The manager came over eventually and did not help at all. I was told I could pay to have them ship the laptop away to have a new drive put in. I refused, of course, as there was no reason why I should have to pay more.
Problem 2: Rashad had not installed Macromedia Flash Player. That was a big reason why I had brought it in, because I couldn't see videos that were posted on Youtube and elsewhere online (the new version was required) I talked to a different Geek Squad guy, who was actually surprised that this fairly simple thing had not been done, and he was able to install it after a short delay. So, the problem was solved, but no thanks to Rashad.
Problem 3: I had just paid $30 for an additional year of Norton Antivirus 2005. Without asking my permission, Rashad had completely uninstalled the program, because it was "outdated." It was not outdated. Many people pay to upgrade the previous year's version without buying the new one, as I did. No apology was given and I was not refunded.
Problem 4: I did give permission for SpySweeper to be installed. The program simply did not work. I brought it to a computer expert at my workplace just to be sure and the guy told me that something had gone wrong with the installation. I was so frustrated that I simply uninstalled the program and didn't even add it to my list of complaints to Best Buy.
Problem 5: I had zero success getting in touch with the Geek Squad by phone. Repeated attempts over a number of days had the same result: the phone would ring and ring and no one ever answered. Other departments at the store would answer, but not the Geek Squad.
Problem 6: After a long conversation, the far from sympathetic manager said he would order a new disc drive and I would get a call when it came in. This was August 2006, it is now January 2007. I'm sure not holding my breath that he will ever call. In the meanwhile, I bought a disc drive fairly cheaply on Ebay and had my dad install it.
I spent close to $300 for the Geek Squad work. (They supposedly did a scan and removed some spyware also.) The only thing that was actually done right initially was the sound, which was fixed. Other than that, it was a nightmare and I lost $30 on the uninstalled Norton, $30 on the unusable SpySweeper they installed, $60 to buy a new disc drive, and $50 to buy a new antivirus program.
What was frustrating was both the very poor and shoddy work, and also the deception of Rashad. He broke the drive, and he knows it. So here's my advice to anyone with computer problems: Support a small business and find a privately owned repair shop. You won't be sorry to avoid the Best Buy Geek Squad.

The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The shipping advocacy group adopted the goal of ending container shipping charges, which it said can sometimes exceed the contracted price for shipments making the management of total shipping costs unpredictable for cargo owners.
Logistics costs for businesses in the United States grew in 2015, while spending actually slowed by nearly half from the 5.1 percent compound average rate over the previous four years and was flat relative to the overall economy.
Chinese authorities have said that containers from certain countries shall be subject to effective anti-mosquito treatment in order to prevent the virus from spreading, which has left many shippers concerned.

At that time, as one of the "requirements" was a UPC code, I told the rep that there was no UPC code on either of the boxes and he told me to make a copy of one of their or Tiger's forms and send it in and that would be fine.
The material to be sent in was pretty amazing, including the need to cut and past the address (physically) onto an envelope. That reguired making 2 copies of their paperwork as the address would not print on one side of a sheet but separated regardless of printing format.
Nevertheless I followed the instructions and submitted all the material, incuding the copy of the form that listed what was to serve as the UPC code.
Today, I received an email and followed the links to find that the rebate was denied due to no UPC code. I called, waited 10-15 minutes, got a person who without asking for a tracking number started to explain that there was a UPC code and then his line cut me off.
I called back and after about a 35 minute hold got a person who asked for the tracking code, told me that without a UPC code they could not process rebate. I explained, as noted above, that there was no code and that I had done as instructed. He put me on hold, came back and told me they could go the "archives" and check to see if I sent in the code, but if I didn't, no rebate. I started in again and he hung up.
