Gary S. Burroughs CPA, LLC Gary S. Burroughs CPA, LLC - Gary S. Burroughs - Scammer - Run Away Fast Lake Oswego Oregon
Gary S. Burroughs has scammed me out of $2600 dollars. After consulting Gary S. Burroughs about doing my taxes, Gary S. Burroughs had quoted me $700-$1000. This was the highest quote I had ever had from any CPA or tax service. Gary S. Burroughs then asked for a retainer which was very unusual for any accountant to be asking for. Since Gary S. Burroughs was a friend of a friend I went ahead and took his advise and moved forward with doing my taxes through him.
After knowing Gary S. Burroughs for a few months I felt I could trust his advise and Gary S. Burroughs as an honest person. This was my biggest mistake, I should have read other reviews by other people Gary S. Burroughs scammed in past years.
Shortly after that Gary S. Burroughs had come to me asking for a loan because he had gone into someone's account without their consent and took money out of that persons account. This resulted in that person going to the Oregon Board of Accountancy and Gary S. Burroughs CPA, LLC was going to lose his CPA license due to a fraudulent act.This should have been a major red flag to not do business with this scammer. Gary S. Burroughs told me this because he wanted to borrow $5000 dollars to give back to the client so they would not go through with the complaint to the Oregon Board of Accountancy and so he wouldnt lose his license.
Gary S. Burroughs proposed that I lend him the money and in return Gary S. Burroughs would write the loan as a retainer for doing my taxes and be able to give me a write off on the 2012 tax year for the $5000 dollars. Gary S. Burroughs assured me that if I could do this favor for him he would pay me back $4300.00 ($5000 - $700 for doing my taxes = $4300) and I could claim this as income for tax year 2013. I saw this as a benefit because I could delay the taxes for another year on that money.
So April 2013 came around and I asked for my $4300 back and Gary S. Burroughs said that he didn't have any money and that he needed until May 2013 to get the money together. I had no choice but to wait. When that date came Gary S. Burroughs then said his other clients had not paid him yet so Gary S. Burroughs was not able to pay me any money. This went on for two more weeks. I then got an attorney and gave Gary S. Burroughs a demand letter stating I was going to take him to small claims court.
Gary S. Burroughs showed up at my office with a check for $1700 dollars. Gary S. Burroughs had put together an inflated invoice (scam) for services that I did not even ask for and claimed that it was $3300 for doing my taxes and other bogus services in an attempt to take advantage of me.
After looking online I saw that other people have had the same type of scam pulled on them by Gary S. Burroughs CPA, LLC. If you come in to contact with Gary S. Burroughs for services RUN AWAY FAST. Do not do business with this scammer. Action is being taken against Gary S. Burroughs and we will be using everything in our power to make sure that Gary S. Burroughs CPA, LLC does not run his scam on other people.
AGAIN: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GARY S. BURROUGHS CPA, LLC - He will try and take your money

The Air Jordan Collezione Countdown Packages featured a pairing of two Air Jordan Legacy models in which their numbered designations totaled to "23". One such package included the Air Jordan IX and the Air Jordan XIV; the Air Jordan IX returned in the original colorway but the Air Jordan XIV, while featuring a Bull-ish combination of colors, was completely new. It featured a tonal black upper with white contrast stitching and varsity red accents on the upper – but this unreleased sample of the Air Jordan XIV Collezione could have changed the entire package.
Take a look at this unreleased sample of the Air Jordan XIV, originally set to be a part of the 9/14 Package. Red contrasting stitching on the upper and a matching red outsole as well as a red heel-tab comprise the primary differences between the released version and this sample. The colorway motif of this version is actually very similar to the Air Jordan XX1 Collezione, which also featured a red outsole and black upper. Which of the two do you prefer? Take a look at the detailed images after the jump and make sure you vote at the very end. via Kenlu.

->''Build Anything.''
-->-- '''Official motto'''
[[http://www.golemgame.com/ Golems]] is a free "3d recreational physics simulator." It's designed to be remarkably intuitive and user-friendly - basically, you can [[WideOpenSandbox do anything]] as simple as drag in a few blocks and motors to make a crude car to something as complicated as [[HumongousMecha giant robots]], [[TankGoodness hovertanks]], or fully-functioning [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking vending machines]]. Machines can be user-controlled or, with a bit more effort and some sensors, [[InstantAIJustAddWater pilot themselves]]. It's a bit like LEGO, but the [[FrickinLaserBeams laser cannons]] work and you never run out of bricks. The physics simulation is also surprisingly accurate and realistic ([[RuleOfFun with the exception of a few obvious impossibilities, such as the aforementioned lasers]]). Best of all, it's fun.
You can download the game [[http://www.golemgame.com/download.html here]], and see the forum (where other users upload their machines and give tons of useful help) [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1/ here]].
Not to be confused with the [[{{Golem}} mythological creature]] from which it derives its name.
!!The game in general provides examples of:
* AIIsACrapshoot: When the above goes horribly, horribly wrong.
* ClockPunk: All-mechanical contraptions with plentiful quantities of gears are another favourite
* EdutainmentGame: A side-effect of playing the game is that you [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=180&p=725 pick up a little physics]] along the way
* FloatingPlatforms: Objects set to 'static' are completely immobile, and aren't even subject to gravity.
* FrictionlessIce: The ice material in Golems is completely frictionless
* HumongousMecha: Has been a goal of the community since its inception, recently accomplished (with some 'cheating' using rockets and tractor beams for balance) [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=790 here]] and [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=721 here]]
* InstantAIJustAddWater: It is remarkably easy to wire up a robot to act independently of user-control.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=626&p=2847&hilit=missile#p2847 One]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=301&hilit=missile of]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=199&p=776&hilit=missile#p776 the]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=83&p=367&hilit=missile#p367 more]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=610&p=2763 popular]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=575 user]] [[http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=301 creations]]

It's not even the New Year, and already the Tinseltown pundits are out with their Oscar predictions—well, predictions for the nominations, at least. (Mark those calendars: nominations announced, January 25; Academy Awards extravaganza, February 27.) How many of the following actors, directors, and producers will be holding their collective breaths as the time-honored ritual is repeated ("And the Oscar goes to... ") as it has been since 1929.
Two films here are remakes of Hollywood classics—will the leading ladies in new adaptations of Jane Eyre and Mildred Pierce (staples these days of Turner Classic Movies) be able to erase memories of those two stunning Joans, Fontaine and Crawford? And novels by three noted contemporary authors—William Boyd, Cormac McCarthy, and Mordecai Richler—are being adapted for the big screen as well.
Though this January–April frame isn't the typical blockbuster time of year, who are we to rule out the possibility of a dark horse. Might Unknown become "known"? Could The Rite demonstrate the right stuff? Any Human Heart touch every human heart? Place your bets.
| january |
The Rite
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Alice Braga, Toby Jones
Directed by Mikael Hafström
Release date January 28 (Warner Bros., wide)
Tie-in from Doubleday Religion: The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio (trade paper)
Prospects look good for this true-life story—good and scary. As reported October 16 by Variety, "The exorcism subgenre has consistently brought in the green—and not just the iconic pea-soup green Linda Blair made famous in The Exorcist"—a frightfest that hauled in some $400 million. And recent E-word flicks, though not up to that level, have scared up impressive b.o. results: Lionsgate's The Last Exorcism grossed $41 million in the U.S.; The Exorcism of Emily Rose, $140 million worldwide; and The Exorcist: The Beginning brought in $78 million worldwide. And of course Hopkins can always be counted on for a dose of creepy—think Hannibal Lecter.
Barney's Version
Starring Paul Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver
Directed by Richard J. Lewis
Release date January 14 (Sony Pictures Classics, limited)
Tie-in from Vintage Books: Barney's Version by Mordecai Richler (trade)
A sterling cast interprets the late Richler's much lauded, award-winning novel. Some critics have already weighed in, with—no surprise—typically divergent opinions. According to Boxoffice magazine, it's "one of those rare films whose caricature of life undeniably illuminates.... Richler had the knack for creating unforgettable characters and this film will be remembered for its performances." The New York Times, on the other hand, says, "The filmmakers have been, if anything, too dutiful, too careful, and the movie that results from their conscientious, devoted labor illustrates the terrible, paradoxical trap into which well-intentioned literary adaptations so often fall."
The Other Woman
Starring Natalie Portman, Lisa Kudrow, Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Directed by Don Roos
Release date January (IFC Films, limited)
Tie-in from Vintage Books: Love and Other Impossible Pursuits by Ayelet Waldman (hardcover, trade, Feb. 8)
PW loved Waldman's 2006 novel: "How a five-year-old manages to make the adults in his life hew to the love he holds for them is the sweet treat in this honest, brutal, bitterly funny slice of life.... Waldman has upper bourgeois New York down cold. The result is a terrific adult story." And Woman's b.o. is sure to benefit from Portman's current Black Swan performance, which has garnered rave notices and superloud Oscar buzz. (Interesting trivia: according to IMDb.com, Jennifer Lopez was once attached to play Swan's leading role.)

Dawn French Joins Australia's Got Talent Judging Panel 2013
Dawn French Joins Mel B as an Australia's Got Talent Judge
Channel Nine has announced UK comedy star Dawn French as the second judge for the 2013 series of Australia's Got Talent, joining Mel B on the panel. You'd be forgiven for thinking the show was Britain's Got Talent, but there are reports that the final two judges — Channel Nine is extending the talent from three to four — will be Australian. Dawn, best known for her work in The Vicar of Dibley and her comedy sketch show French and Saunders with Jennifer Saunders, has been praised as Nine's head of television Michael Healy as "widely recognised and adored by Australians and her contribution to the show will deliver on our promise for a bigger and better series."
There has also been buzz about what will happen to the 2013 series of The X Factor. Mel B's new commitment to AGT and Channel Nine means she won't be returning to The X Factor, and in a case of reality TV musical chairs, Dannii Minogue, who judged Australia's Got Talent on Channel Seven for years, is tipped to take her place. Reports also say that Guy Sebastian is considering leaving the show to focus on his own music.

Trains pass by at night. At this late hour they do not stop here anymore but go on to their final destination. A car goes by. Recorded with a Pearl MSH 10 MS stereo mic via Sound Devices 302 field mixer to Sound Devices 702. Coded to L-R stereo at the mixer stage. 2dB EQ on highs and compression. Sample resolution converted to 16 bit from original 24 bit recording. Oh, Pearl Microphone Laboratory of Sweden have nothing to do with Pearl, the percussion instruments maker.
this is an excellent train sound, i nearly got the whole sample but the college i work at has a restricted download policy - so i only got 20s - but what a great 20 seconds it is! cheers

the specs on this phone are kind of bad for the price of 149 dollars it could have had at least a 1Gz processer and a little bit more ram and a higher res screen at lease a 480 x 620 or something but if your a casual or typical phone user looking for a cheap moderate phone then this is it.
Good phone for the money great picts/video had to root to get rid of twitter rhapsody ECT.

The tool also makes conversions of fats into energy units, from any amount of fat contained in condensed sweetened milk. Details about condensed milk are handy as healthy eating tips, for maintaining healthy diet therefore a personal health care plus wellbeing.
Condensed milk reduces more than by 1/2 the volume of fresh milk it was produced from. This milk is evaporated, with 60% of water volume removed, thus it is also referred to simply as dehydrated milk. As many other canned products on the shop shelves it last long. It differs from unsweetened condensed milk only by the added sugar. The added sugar also prohibits (or slows down) bacteria growth in this milk therefore it is being less processed in the manufacturing process. from my personal perspective; I enjoy sweetened condensed milk, eating it with large spoon, straight from its opened can.

This is excellent grams to cups calculator for condensed milk measures (and other milks measuring units.) I am getting ready and testing some delicate recipes for this festive season and first I had to calculate how much is 1.25 cups condensed milk to grams or in milliliters. Then 300 ml of the sweetened condensed / dehydrated milk equals how many grams and finally I converted 100 milliliters of sweetened condensate milk into fluid ounces (I had a hint -that was the result from 3.5 floz lucky I double-checked).
Amount : 1.25 cup measure of condensed milk,
Equals in : 382.5 g ( grams ) of sweetened condensed milk.
Fraction : 382 1/2 gram ( g ) of condensed milk.
Volume mount : 1.25 cup measure,
Equals to : 295.7 ml ( ~ 300 milliliters = 0.3 Liter ) of condensed milk sweetened.
Fraction : 295 37/50 millilitres ( 295 7/10 mL ) of condensed milk sweetened.
Amount in volume : 300 ml ( milliliters ) of condensed milk, translates into : 388.0 g ( ~ 390 grams ) weight of condensed milk.
Amount : 100 ml (millilitres) of condensed milk sweetened,
Changes to : 3.4 fl-oz ( fluid ounces ) of condensed milk.
Fraction results : 3 2/5 fluid ounce ( 3-19/50 or 3-381/1000 fl-oz ) of condensed milk.

Baking Note about condensed milk: When I baked mine, I baked only 1/2 the recipe, here, I'm sharing the full recipe. There are several notes and a video at the end of the recipe which may be useful if this is the first time baking the cake. As the original recipe is in weight (grams), I've tried to my best of ability to convert it into cups using this condensed milk converter for weight into volume.

CinemorphX is the result of a combination of three of Sample Logic's legacy libraries: AIR (Ambience, Impacts and Rhythms), The Elements, and Synergy. It is delivered through a 29.7GB download and takes about 30.5GB of free space in the hard drive after installed. From the 30.5 gigabytes, 30.1GB are samples. In one word: it's big. And when I say big, I don't mean only its size. CinemorphX has also an impressive engine that makes it possible to achieve a great level of control and/or randomization.
If you want a good picture of CinemorphX, you have to think on Sample Logic's trademark or mission, as they put it: their motto has been to create and develop sample libraries that focus on "blurring the line between music and sound design"TM. This makes a good description of CinemorphX. It is a multi-faceted instrument that merges melodic, rhythmic and "sound designy" qualities to create beautifully complex results.
I'm going to go through its main features in this review, and in the end you'll find my personal impressions about it. I hope it helps you to get to know this instrument a bit better.
CinemorphX main features
The main kernel of CinemorphX's engine is the soundcore. There are 4 soundcores that can work simultaneously and be enabled/disabled as needed. Each soundcore can combine two different soundsources (CinemorphX's basic patches or samples).
When you first load the instrument, this is the view that you get:
This window is called the Multi-Core window. Here you can select the soundsources through the soundsource browser and tweak the parameters in each of the 4 soundcores. Just to illustrate it better: in the image we see the 4 soundcores (numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4) and the two soundsources loaded in each soundcore (they are shown by its names – for instance, Cool Vibes and Vapor Haze are initially loaded in the soundcore 1).
The soundsource browser, accessed through the little magnifying glasses, is divided in five main categories: Atmospheres (non-tonal/non-pitched atmospheric drones); Instrumentals (pitched patches based on all kinds of sonic materials, including some traditional instruments); Loops (percussive loops, some of them with implicit harmonic content); Percussives (percussive instruments also based on all kinds of sonic sources); and Waveforms (melodic patches based on pure waveforms). All the main categories are divided in subcategories. The soundsources appear classified more or less accordingly to its general mood or characteristics.
One cool thing in this window is that it shows you if a soundsource is already in use, and in which soundcore slot it is currently loaded.
There is a Single-Core window as well, which is basically an expanded version of a single soundcore. In this window, the soundcore's dedicated FX section is presented in the main screen (it is normally hidden in the Multi-Core window), so it is quite handy in case you want to work with a single soundcore only.
In the soundcores' FX chain, there are 4 slots to which you can assign 20 different FX processors, and a velocity intensity knob to adjust the keyboard dynamics sensitivity. The parameters for each FX are found in their respective sub-window, which can be accessed through the small 4 arrows icon in the left bottom corner of each FX slot.
There are some more controls below the first 4 slots (Envelope, Convolution, Pitch and Filter), which affect the whole soundcore, and a general FX section in the lower part of the screen. This last FX section is the same one that appears in the Multi-Core window and it affects the whole instrument (i.e., all the active soundcores).
On the top of that, there are also more general controls that allow to create a sense of randomization to the final sound. See, for instance, the two small squares right below the main volume and pan knobs in the Single-Core window. They are automation controllers. The first one is a step sequencer and the second one is a LFO. Both can be used simultaneously.
Each soundcore has also a crossfade knob with which you can set how much of each timbre or soundsource you want in the final sound (the knob – well baptized as morph – is right in between both soundsources in both Single-Core of Multi-Core windows). The morph knob can also be automated through the Morphanimator button, which has its own dedicated step sequencer and a Rec function for recording an automation performance. When enabled, the Morphanimator will cause the morph knob to follow the information recorded in the Morphanimator step sequencer. You can also control the morph with the mod-wheel if you want.
Finally, there is a XY feature in the main FX preset section, which is called the Soundcore FX. It basically applies effects to the whole instrument following a pattern designed in a bi-dimensional graphic display. You can assign one effect per axis (there are 6 prearranged possibilities) and then automate the movement inside the graphic so that the combination of FXs will affect the sound accordingly. The XY graphic determines not only the FXs values, but also, to which soundcore the values are applied – the closer to the soundcore the cursor is, the more it will affect that particular soundcore.
There is also a 16 steps step sequencer with 4 different possible patterns in the Step Animator window, which you can use to create rhythmic loops with whatever sound you may have loaded in the CinemorphX' soundcores. The configuration on this page is applied to the whole instrument.
There is one final great feature that I have to mention: if you observe the images of the CinemorphX's main windows, you may have noticed the small R symbols all around. These are the random enable/disable switches. By enabling this function in a particular FX parameter or soundsource or even in a whole soundcore, you are preparing these elements to be randomized by the Random button, in the right top corner. What this button does is creating new instruments by randomly selecting a value for all the parameters that are random enabled. In other words, you can have a new rich and unpredictable sound combination at every single click. I had lots of fun experimenting with all kinds of combinations resulting from this button.
CinemorphX impressed me right from the beginning, and it didn't stop to impress me after using it for quite a while. With a beautiful GUI, it is a great combination of great samples and a great engine; an extraordinaire tool for creating rich textures and great sounding loops with ease. The user has not only a great level of control over the sound, but also a great level of randomization can be achieved.
Despite its generally complex sound results, CinemorphX uses very little memory. A regular soundsource can take as little as 120kb of memory, the more complex sounds taking no more than 10mb. It is a very modest number considering the quality that you get in the end. The explanation for this can be found in part in CinemorphX' sample pool, which is in general already made of complex sounds. As a result, it doesn't take much memory nor process power to create beautiful and intriguing sound atmospheres.
I found a small bug in the Step Animator window that, I believe, is simple to correct. In this window, you can open sub-windows to draw automation lines for a bunch of parameters. If you select a different Pattern with any of these automation sub-windows opened, the sub-window won't close and will stay sort of covering the controls in the new window. You have to click in the drawing icon yourself to close it. I believe Sample Logic may release an update to fix this sometime soon.
All in all, CinemorphX is great for creating evolving textures, loops and drones. I can see it being perfectly used alone or as a background for other instruments, including acoustic instruments or orchestral textures.

Are schools doing enough to prevent illegal drug abuse by teenagers?
Teens use drugs all the time. When they do they do not think about what they are doing to themselves. teens get harmed in many negative ways when they do use the drugs. Schools are one sorce that can help guide these teens into not using the drugs but the schools do not do enough because it is still a problem. Some may argue that the schools are doing enough and its not there problem. But they need to understand that it is their problem because the schools are the location that these teens are mostly in. And sadly sometimes schools are the areas that the teens may get ahold of the drugs.
Please cast your vote after you've read the arguments.
You can also add to the debate by leaving a comment at the end of the page.
It's Not the Schools Job
First off, saying that all teens use drugs is not only unfair but it is also a logical fallacy (Hasty Generalization).
Sure. A school is suppose to educate students, but when it comes to drugs, sex, and alcohol, the parents should be the one in charge of preventing illegal drug abuse by teens around the clock (during school hours is a different story). Although, it is not the schools' job to prevent illegal drug abuse, schools do teach the dangers of drug abuse. In many West Coast schools, students are taught the dangers of drugs prior to the 4th grade. The middle school and high school then continue to inform students about the danger.
It is the schools' job to educate students. The school is not responsible for teens that break laws outside of schools.
Teenagers will always manage to get drugs the same problem is about with alcohol, the more you make something forbidden the more it becomes desirable
Yes,it is correct to say a school is meant to educate people, but education can come in all forms,therefore it is a school's job to educate pupils about the dangers of drug abuse and how to avoid it.Some schools claim to do this,but from my own experience it is a topic that is only lightly touched since it is considered almost too shameful.However,the truth of the matter is drugs ARE out there,wherever you are,and schools should do the best they can to warn pupils that it is a life destroying industry.
I am a high school student, and do not think enough awareness is made of illegal substanmce abuse. I have so many friends that use drugs, most of them with low self esteem, and not aware of the effects of drugs. Schools arn't responsible for us 24 hrs a day, but they are responsible for us 7-8 hrs in a day. Drugs are avalible throughout the school, and are easily accessible. This is a problem. If drugs weren't so accessible then maybe there wouldn't be such an issue. One of my best friends, an ex heroine addict, recently he found out he had hepatitis C. his life is ruined. And said that if he knew that this could happen, he would've never used needles. Teens need help with thuis growing issue. Drugs are altering young minds, and killing our friends, family, and classmates. Something needs to be done.
Schools cannot monitor pupils 24/7
Illegal drug abuse mostly takes place outside of school,therefore schools have no control over what their pupils do outside of school hours,for example at weekends.Thus,it is the responsibility of parents or guardians to stop their child from accessing these drugs,since schools can only control what happens within their premises.
The proposition are correct, but the correct response from schools is not to say 'it happens outside our grounds, therefore we may ignore it.' Drug prevention isn't simply stopping those who already take drugs, it also involves stopping those who may take drugs in the future.
Too much health education at once
Essentially, schools are already criticised for not educating children and teenagers enough on a number of issues, including smoking, drinking, binge drinking, sex, pregnancy, STIs, peer pressure, bullying, suicide, mental health, knife crime, gun crime and gangs.
How is it possible for schools to be fulfilling all of these demands?
I remember at school many lessons on why smoking, binge drinking and unprotected sex were bad for you. Smoking in particular has come into education because of the push in the last ten years to bring down the numbers of smokers and smoking-related illnesses in the UK. However, I do not remember similar time dedicated to illegal drugs.
It is not the schools' fault, but if they are being demanded to teach all of these issues by a mixture of the government, the school governors, pressure groups and parents who cannot (for whatever reasons, good or bad) teach it themselves, then of course they aren't doing all they could be to prevent illegal drug abuse.
Are drug users in schools?
The proposition have referred to drug abuse happening outside of schools - largely correctly. I would also ask the following: do habitual drug users even go to school?
This is, of course, a generalisation. However, crime, drugs and truancy do have a common trend. Not all truants are criminals or drug abusers, nor vice versa. However, many of them are, and enough of them that many teenaged habitual drug abusers are not attending school regularly or at all.
Therefore, once again, it may be the case that school are indeed not doing enough to prevent illegal drug abuse by teenagers - but because they can't.

Retailers began cutting prices yesterday for traditional post-holiday sales, but the bargains didn't appear to bring a flood of shoppers to the malls.
Morning and afternoon traffic was steady but not maddening at many San Diego County shopping centers.
Signs advertising discounts of 20 percent to 75 percent hung from store windows on a day that typically attracts bargain hunters, people with gift certificates in hand and those returning unwanted Christmas presents.
Lou Jones and her family pushed a shopping cart full of merchandise toward her car at a Mission Valley mall yesterday. Jones had shopped at three centers looking for deals.
"The selection was slim, but the pricing was good," she said. "When they say 50 or 60 percent off, we got that. And it's not as crowded as it normally is."
Most stores won't report sales numbers until after the first of the year. Industry analysts have mixed opinions on whether the season will be better or worse than last year, when the recession choked the economy and the stock market cratered.
"The consumer is not in a state of shock, and retailers are not in an overstocked position," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst with NPD Group, a market research firm. "The good news is the retailers didn't panic. That's the real telltale sign that the season was good enough. They didn't go to drastic discounts before the holiday."
Last year, retailers began offering discounts of 60 percent to 75 percent well before Christmas, analysts said.
The National Retail Federation said holiday sales fell 3.4 percent in 2008 and estimated they will drop an additional 1 percent this year. Some experts think that's too conservative and are forecasting a slight gain.
"There are lot of people who were negative about growth during this holiday, yet we already have seen growth in November and we'll probably see a little bit of growth coming in December," Cohen said.
Last year's discounts are one reason why many consumers waited until the last minute to shop this year, hoping retailers would offer deep price cuts. Retailers were smarter this year when stocking their shelves, analysts said.
"They were very cautious because they got burned so badly last year," said George Whalin, president of Retail Management Consultants in Carlsbad. "Nobody expected last year that we were going to see this dramatic drop in holiday sales. We saw 60 percent to 70 percent off become a common thing in stores to move the merchandise out. That's just not the case this year."
By keeping inventory lean, selection wasn't great for consumers before the holiday and won't be afterward.
Khrisna Stitzell of Mission Valley drove to the Carlsbad Premium Outlets mall early yesterday in search of selection.
"I've had people tell me, 'You need to come here as opposed to San Ysidro (outlet mall) because it's harder to get here, so there's more here,' " Stitzell said.
She did have some success at the Coach outlet store, leaving with a large bag.
Scant pre-Christmas inventory also was expected to increase the number of returns this holiday season, experts said.
"There was just so little inventory in stores that consumers were forced to make trade-offs," Cohen said. "In other words, even if I knew you were a size-42 jacket, I may have had to buy you a size 40."
Returns aren't necessarily bad for retailers, because many result in store credits or exchanges. Cohen said shoppers generally spend 16 percent more than the value of the returned merchandise when they exchange or use a store credit.
The rise in gift cards also has dampened the amount of returns received by retailers. Gift-card purchases have increased dramatically over the past three or four years, analysts say.

I am one of a few I guess that only knows 'Love Story', which although overplayed, is still an excellent track. Its only now after all these years that I have actually listened to the is LP (shamefully cut short on vinyl) and what an album it is. The production is top notch with great quality sounds, baselines, and synths, quality samples and a great array of themes. The energy in the album is electric, smooth and ultra cool. It also spans a few genres, which sometimes in an album can result in mixed results, but thankfully not here. The breadth of styles on offer just adds to the quality and listenability of this album. Rather than be swamped with one type of music, there are great breaks tracks with filthy funk grooves, smooth future jazz/lounge rhythms and deep house which is quite progressive at times. I think this will get dusted off often. Lovely

Aside from the fact this is a brilliant album, does anyone know the origins of track 4, 'Sahara'? It's essentially 40 seconds of a flanging, phasing sound with an Indian vibe about it. I've heard it used on several tracks as a sample before now, particularly in DJ Nukem & Chab's 'Wanted' (where it sets my neck hairs on edge; it's so perfectly placed in the breakdown). If Layo & Bushwacka composed it, credit to them, but I wonder if it originated elsewhere?

Innovative music for open minded hippie crowd :) this convinced me that Progressive isn't a dirty word, only bad music has given it a bad meaning. I must agree with another reviewer. Very diverse and consistent at the same time. A gem.

A brilliant Release by Layo And Bushwacka!. This Cd is of very high quality production skills. The songs, as usual with Layo And Bushwacka!, vary in genre, but all hold the same consistent skill. I have yet to hear a bad remix or production by Layo And Bushwaka!. This cd appears as if it had a lot of time spend on it, and i recommend any fans of ANY electronic music to pick it up, give it a try, and i almost guarantee you will enjoy it.

After having a hard time finding it at the record store (it supposed to be at 'house' but it turned out to be stored at 'progressive techno') i listened to this record, and found out why the record store had had such a hard time to classify this record. Varying from 'instrumental hiphop' to flat-out 'dance' and anything in between, L&B! have created an album so unbelievably consistent yet so inventive and varying. At least give it a try!

I was not involved in buying the first house I ever owned. I was in the Army at the time, stationed in Austria while it was still an occupied country after World War II. My wife had been evicted from the apartment she was living in because she had just had our first child and there was a no-children policy. (Even a newborn baby?)
A few years after I was discharged, we decided to sell that house (in North Hollywood) and move into a brand-new tract house in Canoga Park. We put the North Hollywood house on the market, and in due time got a buyer and found ourselves at a real estate office signing the final papers.
You may find this hard to believe, but back then — this was around 1955 — we had to sign not more than six or seven documents. That was it.
Fast forward to 2012, and we are now selling another house. This time — and we aren't even close to the final closing yet — we have already signed well more than 30 documents and initialed them in about 40 more places. They range from attesting that we are U.S. citizens and that the property will be sold to U.S. citizens, to one that attests that the house is not subject to any federal prison being built nearby within the next 99 years, to another that certifies that we have received various copies of other equally arcane documents.
OK, perhaps I am exaggerating, but not much.
In our case, the house needed some minor repairs, and they needed to be done before the bank would agree to lend the buyer the money. I was unwilling to pay for the repairs, but the buyer agreed to do so.
Now here's the thing. I am still the legal owner of the house. I need to be assured that any work that is done to the house — especially in my absence — is done in a professional and workmanlike manner. Perhaps more important, I do not want to be responsible for any injuries to people working on my property or any damage they may cause while doing their repairs.
I asked about some sort of disclaimer that would protect my interests in this situation. Interestingly, despite all the reams of bureaucratic paperwork that I have been required to sign so far — including the guarantee that there are no plans for a federal prison to be built on the next block — there did not seem to be any provision (much less any concern) for my protection in this case. I also asked about who would inspect the repairs after the work was done to guarantee that it was complete and done properly.
Guess what? I was blithely informed that, "In this town, the people who do the work are responsible for inspecting it afterward." Excuse me? How many times have you had the contractor who did the work, perform the final inspection and report that it was not done properly or is incomplete? Have you ever heard the phrase "conflict of interest"? A conflict of interest occurs when you ask a contractor to inspect his own work.
Maybe we need another form to sign.

I think a full review wll not arrive..... Soon !
His name is RICOH, not CANON or NIKON......
I bought it and I am happy to use it ...... with his limits....
I should buy th VF-1 but before I should test it about his useful use.........
Is the VF-1 better than the LCD diplay ?
While the NEX-5N is a worthy camera to host M lenses on, the NEX-7 flagship camera is somewhat less so, especially for certain wide angle lenses.
The Fujifilm X-Pro 1 despite being marketed by Fujifilm as being a host for M lenses (they announced but have not shipped their own dumb M to X mount adapter), early adopters using a Kippon adapter have proved the cameras to be a less than able host for M lenses, showing significant smearing of detail progressively away from the centre of the image. Maybe there is a reason Fujifilm decided not to release their own M adapter at the product launch.
Now not every photographer demands edge to edge perfection even from lenses that can actually deliver, but plenty of us do need this capability at times if not all the time.
See next comment
For those with a stable of high quality rangefinder lenses, currently the best currently produced or supportable hosts for them on crop or full frame cameras are:
Leica M9 (full frame)
Leica M8 (crop) | Ricoh GXR (crop) - yes, I put them on par
NEX-5N (crop)
NEX-7 (crop) with limitations
From what I've seen the X-Pro 1 shouldn't even be on the list unless it's only to be used for fast lens shooters working in close, wide open, where edges truly do not matter; or to be used by those who'd buy a $1600 camera and slap a 1 - 3 K$ (or more) M lens on it only to get mediocre IQ and be happy with it.
In that light, given the GXR is right up there with the M9 and M8 in terms of usability and image quality from M lenses... ought not there be a more fulsome review of this camera? It's the only Digital M camera after all that isn't made by Leica, no small distinction.
What might Ricoh have coming down the road one wonders, after having executed the GXR Mount A12 so well?
I wish Sony would do something like that, so I could use my old Minolta manual lenses. Dream on... Sony is too greedy for that... OK, I'll keep using my Maxxum 7D with an AF/MF adapter.
A full review would be very much appreciated...
Thank you...
And a quick request to DxO: Please add DNG support to DxO Optics Pro!!!
Why not a full review. There`s been time enough for that. Ricoh is one of most significant m-less concepts. It allowes for the lens-unit change under unfriendly condition (strong wind combined with snow, dust,drizzle), it`s m-module is optimised for short wides and is the only one whose sensor stays capped during lens change. Meanwhile we get tonloads of point and shots descriptions and so on. . Few people realize that module concept could be brought to a level unattainable by other m-less systems. If ®icoh makes weatherproof/watertight GXR body, and set of weatherproof/watertight lenses (superwide, wide, and normal or 24-70/4 zoom), you could practically change lens units under water. Something, I`m sure Nikon will consider recreating digital Nikonos. The only hope for future is that Ricoh will maintain it`s original thinking, letting Pentax experiment on it`s own. Finally, Ricoh please make a Amoled EVF finder articulated both horisontal and vertical (PORTRAITS!).
Wonderful solution !!!
If this module should have a FOVEON Imager, the same of SIGMA SD1 M or DPx M or the SD15 - DP1 x - DP2x with the same LEICA M bayonet mount to be able to mount on the module with adapter, all the lens ( PENTAX, CANON, NIKON, SIGMA, SONY etc...etc...)
We can arrive to a universal body for all lens mount..... :-)))
For me this ricoh would be the best camera of the world !!!
I am eagarly awaiting this review. They sometimes take a long time...
I wish this came with a rangefinder. Going through my GF1 images using the M mount adapter, about half of all the images are out of focus to some degree, which sucks. My Epson RD1s, on the other hand, are tack sharp and require less cropping.
I wish they make one full frame with a Contax G mount for I have great lenses to use.
to make it easier i made a concept 3dmodel :
ok ricoh, and now for the next item on my wishlist
a 16mm c-mount module that records motionPNG in 12 raw and has a build in rod support for 15mm rods
framerate 24fps to 60fps
but realisticly spoken those files are too big for 60fps i think
and please make a BUS cable to connect the module with the back, and a support system for a flexible arm that slides into the camera back, so you can add the cameraback/monitor to the camera rig.
the module should look like a cube, with various threads with different diameters all over it
thank you
ps @nikon, yes i know i told you i will buy your mirrorless if it has movie settings like this, but you know, i think you are not cool enough to build in a rod system, that kind of coolness is ricoh territory
anyone comparing the nex system to this, obviously never held a ricoh in his hands or used one.
not only are they built like tanks, the user interface is the best i used so far, also its fully customizable.
also i why should someone buy from sony, when real camera companies make products like the gxr?^^
it looks like a stunning piece of gear ! I think i found what im looking for. (current 350d user looking to 'upgrade') Im really getting lost in the m 4/3 area.
agree the sonys are appliances the ricoh a military hardened camera
Hi -
Why are '35mm full-size' sensors so expensive?
If Ricoh made a full-size 35mm back (module) for their system, I would be a very happy bunny! I would then be able to use my Zeiss Contax G lenses (or maybe my Zuiiko f/1.4 50mm lens) with a digital imaging system.
No, i don't want the 'advantage' of a longer effective focal length by using APS-C or whatever; most of my work is done in wide angle - the wider the better (other than for portraits)
why is it such a labour of love (or money) to get something which is confirgured for a full-frame 35mm system? Or even a 24x24mm system (aka the format made famous by Rollei and Hasselblad)?
OK, i know digital imaging systems like the lenses to be telecentric; but I am told there exists software to cope with the vignetting whcih one might encounter
Best regards
i guess this is meant more like a rethorical question, like, why cant there be peace on earth dont people get it, that war leads to nothing
hints: its about money :)
I don`t understand it either. When Nikon can sell D700 for 2000$ why Ricoh doesn`t make FF m-module for let`s say 1000$. I´ll buy it at once. Never mind the colorcast and vigneting.I shoot mostly B/W where I need full coverage of wides. For color I`ll settle for present m-module.
Can someone explain Stills (Focal plane shutter): 1/4000 - 180 sec VS
• Stills (Electronic shutter): 1/9000 - 1 sec
There must be a downside to Electronic shutter, otherwise, they would not have the physical one.
The downside - if they didn't resolve the issue yet - is sensor blooming. Point the Nikon D70 (which has an electronic shutter + focal plane shutter) to the sun and things can go nasty.
"There must be a downside to Electronic shutter, otherwise, they would not have the physical one."
The electronic shutter is a rolling shutter, which can cause very strange image artifacts if the subject moves even a bit.
BTW this is one of the points that the preview barely touched upon (not criticizing - this was just a preview), and that a review will certainly go over in full detail.
It's true an hybrid electronic/focal plane shutter (like this and D70's) suffers blooming, but it would be much worse if it was a purely electronic shutter.
BTW, focal plane shutters also suffer from rolling shutter artifacts (Just look at famous Lartigue's photo: "Car Trip, Papa at 80 kilometers an hour"), so no advantage there.
I don't think i't aimed at the same target as NEX users. It's for people who already have an M9-M8 with several M lenses.
Possibly. But I keep wondering why a rangefinder user would suddenly switch to LCD or EVF composing, focusing and shooting. That doesn't make sense. Also if one already owns an M8 (1.3x crop factor) or an M9 (FF sensor), why would one put up with an APS-C sensor and its 1.5x crop factor?
The way I see it, this camera unit is aimed at owners of legacy MF lenses that have been put off by Leica prices (not that a GXR back, M-mount unit and EVF would come cheap, the three bought togethercost around $1250) and at the same time never tried a NEX camera (with recent firmware upgrade).
A very, very small niche market indeed...
...or those who hasn't. If you couldn't fork out 7000 US for an M9 but has a film M sitting in the drawer with lugubrious but dusting M lenses, you might consider this fellow. Actually, I'm considering one to go alongside the M9. Why? Built-in flash, super silent shutter, and the APS-C format allows tighter crop for portraits e.g. Or just a back-up, or second body with a longer lens. Might come in handy for a wedding photog: 28 or 35 on the M9, a 50, 75 or 90mm on the Ricoh. Perfect pair.
There is a lens pricing issue here. I've purchased a lot of excellent old lenses via eBay to use on my NEX-5, especially Minolta MC/MD and Canon FL/FD, and for the most part both good lenses and adapters to NEX E mount are very cheap. Unfortunately, neither M mount lenses nor adapters to M mount are cheap, and I don't see M lens prices going down as demand increases. Further, compared to E, M has a slightly narrower throat and much longer flange distance -- for example, C-mount lenses would have to be recessed 10mm into the flange, which would be quite awkward at best.
There's also the just 12MP sensor, which only goes to ISO 3200 despite the largish pixels and doesn't have a serious HD movie mode.
If I didn't have the NEX I would consider this camera. The M mount register distance may also limit the ricoh's ability to use other RF lenses I am afraid.
NEEDS a viewfinder, now the NEX7 is coming out to complment the m4/3rds bodies.
You mean like the viewfinder that's already available?
I think, that before spring 2012 we will see K-mount version of this module...
I fully agree. Take the same chip and add a K mount with auto focus and they have something.
But go one further and develop a full frame sensor (24x 36mm) add the K-mount with auto focus and you have a serious camera. Future ones could have the image stabilization and weather sealing.
I can't see it mentioned in the specs, but given the electronic shutter, will this have an incredibly high flash sync speed? Like the old Nikon D1 / D40 etc?
The lack of an antialising filter sounds interesting, reminiscent of the old Kodaks. I used to have a DCS 560, which had a six megapixel APS-H sensor without an anti-aliasing filter (and a very, very thin infrared filter) and the results were very detailed. Not earthquake-making, but good for something from the last century.
It sounds like it uses a rolling electronic shutter so will probably have the same flash sync issue as a regular mechanical shutter
Thanks for the excellent feature review. I'm just waiting for mine to be arrive now. :-)
This module doesn't have a rangefinder coupling cam, which makes it harder to detect lens focusing action. I've used M lenses on a m43 body with adapters, and the user interface is far worse than "native" manual-focus lenses like the Voigtlander m43 ones, where turning the focus ring automatically brings up whatever focus assist mode you selected.
Sorry to disappoint but the Voigtlander Nokton m4/3 lens has no coupling and works the same way as any other adapted lens, you have to engage the magnified view manually. Only AF lenses from Olympus and Panasonic actually communicate with the camera and engage the magnified view.
Vladimir is correct, the only m43 lens Voigtländer offers does not have electrical contacts and does not communicate with the camera.
I have found that automatically triggered focus assist can be awkward at times, as the slightest movement of the focus ring triggers it. Usually I leave it off.
How long before we can get a full frame module?
I know it's wishful thinking, but I don't want my summicron 35 to become a 53mm lens, and I can't afford an M9 right now.
I guess I'll have to stick with film for a little longer.
So Ricoh hasn't been able to put there a proper anti-alias filter (short flange distance, angle, etc). My guess would be that there is a very good likelihood that there will be no proper infrared filter either. Perhaps it would be a good idea to put this module through the same motions as the Leica M8 eventually was. Or, as a minimum: point a generic IR remote controller at it and see whether you can see the light flashing on the screen. If yes, there may be problems especially in tungsten light.
I can't see any technical reason why they can't put one on (m4/3, NEX have them with shorter flange distance), I think they've just left it off so they can claim it as a headline feature.
Leaving out the AA filter reduces the depth of the filter stack over the sensor and so, in principle, allows use of a wider range of lenses that protrude into the camera body (most obviously wideangles). Meanwhile here's no evidence of IR contamination in any of the initial samples we've shot (e.g. with black artificial fabrics in direct sunlight).
If there's really no IR filter and no anti-alias filter, this would potentially be a very good astro camera. The IR filter in most current digital camera's take away much of the near infrared red that is very important for astro photography (Hydrogen Alpha nebulae light at 656 nanometers)
very cool
The new Leica Lens module will put the Ricoh GXR camera on the map. A great idea and Ricoh being the first to offer Leica compatibility will make the GXR a very desirable camera.
Actually m4/3 has had official Leica M support (1st party adapter) pretty much right from the get-go
but even a 1.5 crop is too much for many (I have the M8 which has 1.3x and I certainly cannot afford the M9). x2 as with 4/3 is really useless. and I do have 7 Leica lenses from 21 up to 135. the fastest wide I have is the 28 which is a short tele on the 4/3. that's not what Leica was made for... the Ricoh is very tempting and beautifully crafted camera. Nevertheless, I will probably wait for the Nex7 but I haven't decided yet.
The 2x crop of m4/3 is great if you want short - medium tele, for example my Voigtlander 40mm normal becomes a compact 80mm portrait lens
But it is not that Leica is in any lack of short to medium teles. such as the 75lux (which I own, and like much more than my canon 85L 1.2, for example) or any 90 lens, which Leica is so good at making. The problem is the lack of fast wides. The only "solution" is the 21lux, which is a 6000$ lens. Obviously, if anybody is planning to buy a body to use with M mount lenses, any crop is a disadvantage, not an advantage.
Having a higher crop sensor gives you a big size advantage if you want tele lenses, my 40mm f1.4 is half the size of a Leica 90mm f2.5
It's all tradeoffs, a 2x crop gives you smaller tele lenses vs thinner depth of field / wider angles with APS-C and larger.
I am glad you are happy using your CV 40 lens on your 4/3. I don't see how it addresses my point.. Leica has a full range of full frame lenses which would become quit useless on a high crop system. I have the M8 (1.3x) and find it extremely limiting. Leica lenses, and in general, rangefinder lenses were made with an emphasize on particular focal ranges, mainly fast 28-35 extending to 21 on the wide side and 50, 75, 90 on the short, stretching up to 135. the classical fast 28-35, which were always the heart of the system, simply have no parallel when used on a x2. Fuji, Ricoh and Sony are smart to introcude fast 24 lenses (actually, Ricoh goes wider). Nevertheless, they cannot reach the traditional depth of field of the desired focal lenses. That's a compromise I can understand. I cannot imagine anybody buying a 3000$ FF lens to use on a x2.

Software Quality Analysis by Object Oriented Approach in Design Phase Using UML
Software Quality is the degree to which a finished product conforms to its specifications. The earlier a fault is detected and is removed the easier it is to fix. Object oriented metrics focus on the combination of functions and data as an integrated object. Object oriented paradigm substantially improves productivity due to the effect of reuse. Requirement specifications, designs and test plans are all artifacts that could potentially be fully or partially be reused in different projects.

Looking to free yourself from the wall charger? Monster Watts WiQiQi charging receiver brings wireless Qi-compatible charging to your Samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2 or even the upcoming Galaxy S4. Better yet, it manages to do this without requiring you to replace the back cover, meaning little to no noticeable bulk added to your phone.
Samsung has already announced an official add-on wireless kit for the Galaxy S4, but it uses a replacement back cover, which Monster Watts claims could potentially get in the way of working with other accessories such as cases. For those that prefer official accessories whenever possible, you might be better offer with Samsung's wireless solution when the Galaxy S4 arrives but that's totally up to you.
If you do have your heart set on getting this accessory for the Galaxy S4, Monster Watts plans to have the S4 kit available sometime in early June, priced at $88. You can get it even cheaper at $55 by pledging to their Indiegogo page.
For the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, the kits will ship later this month for $78. Pledging now will land you the accessory for just $45.
If you do order the kit early through Indiegogo, the company guarantees it will ship to you in the near future. Monster Watts says they already have dealers lined up, with or without the funding from Indiegogo.
What do you think, interested in Monster Watt's unique wireless charging solution or not?
Monster Watts Introduces Lightweight, Paper-Thin WiQiQi Wireless Charger for Samsung Galaxy S4
NEW YORK, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Monster Watts, an innovator of power accessories for Apple and Samsung phones, is introducing the WiQiQi ultra thin wireless charger kit for the Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, and Note 2.
The Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, and Note 2 are recognized as the most advanced wireless phones on the planet, and yet they still need to be plugged in to charge the battery. WiQiQi ultra thin receivers fit under the phone back covers and keep the original thin body and lightweight designs.
Wireless charging has been available for a few phones and has proven to be very useful. Users no longer forget to charge their phones or fumble with the plug at night. No more accidents from pulling the charger out of the wall to answer a call, breaking the connector, or dropping the phone.
Samsung has announced that it will have a $100 wireless charger add-on package for the S4. However, their receiver is inside a new thicker replacement back cover, which makes it probably unable to fit into most cases and docks. Other add-ons come with even bulkier cases.
In comparison, the WiQiQi receiver weighs just 1/5 of an ounce and is paper thin. It achieved this due to the thin, high-quality components and tough packaging. Unlike other receivers, the contact points are brass studs, which conduct electricity better.
The Galaxy phones have easy-to-remove back covers, and the WiQiQi receiver installation is just a simple matter of lining up the contacts next to the phone's battery. The back cover snaps back on with no added bulk.
The WiQiQi system is so convenient and easy to use because you just place the phone on top of the compact Qi standard compatible induction technology charging pad and, like magic, they will wirelessly connect and start charging right away.
The WiQiQi Wireless Chargers for the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available in mid June. Kits for the S3 and Note 2 are available mid April. The charging pads will be forward compatible with future Qi standard wireless charging enabled phones.
In an industry first, for anyone that has an S3 phone and purchases a WiQiQi S3 wireless charger set from an authorized dealer, Monster Watts will accept the WiQiQi S3 wireless receiver for trade in towards the cost of a new WiQiQi S4 wireless receiver.
WiQiQi S4 wireless receiver and charger kit. The wireless receiver comes with the matching Qi compatible wireless charging pad. Model WQS4. Retail $88.
WiQiQi S3 wireless receiver and charger kit. The wireless receiver comes with the matching Qi compatible wireless charging pad. Model WQS3. Retail $78.
WiQiQi Note 2 wireless receiver and charger kit. The wireless receiver comes with the matching Qi compatible wireless charging pad. Model WQN2. Retail $88.
Exclusive Early Bird Discount Offer
Monster Watts is offering discounted prices for Early Bird orders of the S4 kit to be delivered in early June, with prices starting at $49.99. S3 kits to be delivered in mid April will also be included in this discount offer, with prices starting at $44.99.
This discount offer is available on either www.vivealive.net or http://igg.me/at/wiqiqi and is limited to 2,000 units each.

SAN LORENZO — Sheriff's deputies shot four pit bulls, killing three of the dogs, after the animals charged them as they tried to serve a bench warrant on a suspected drug dealer at his Alameda County home Saturday morning.
Alameda County Sheriff's deputies went to David Macias' home in the 300 block of Via Coches at 10 a.m. Saturday. A judge had issued a warrant for Macias' arrest because he failed to appear in court on charges of possession of methamphetamine for sale and vehicle theft, according to Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson.
When deputies arrived, the front door of the home was wide open, so they knocked and rang the doorbell, Nelson said. No one answered, so deputies announced they were sending a police dog inside.
A woman appeared at the front door and as they spoke with her, four pit bulls charged through the home from the backyard toward the deputies as they stood on the front doorstep, Nelson said. One of the pit bulls charged the police dog and the other three started to attack the deputies at the door.
Deputies opened fire, killing three of the pit bulls and wounding the fourth in its paw. The surviving dog was taken to a local veterinarian's office for treatment.
The K-9 deputy suffered minor injuries, Nelson said, but was home resting on Monday and expected to recover.
Macias remained at large on Monday, Nelson said.

RBS said its profit after tax for the January-March period compared with a net loss of £1.545bn in the first quarter of 2012.
It is the first profit report from the bank, which received Britain's biggest ever bailout following the financial crash, for 18 months.
The profit was above forecasts. The bank is currently 82% owned by the British taxpayer.
Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman revealed last night that the bank's chairman would announce later today the start of privatisation.
Kleinman said: "Sir Philip Hampton will say that George Osborne, the Chancellor, will be able to press the button on a multibillion-pound share sale by the middle of next year."
The bank's balance sheet was helped by not needing to make a further provision for payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling.
RBS chief executive Stephen Hester has overseen the shedding of billions in assets and is focusing on core lending to British households and small businesses.
"We expect to substantially complete the bank's restructuring phase during 2014. We are seeing the start of a pick-up in loan demand and have a strong surplus of funds ready and available to support economic recovery," he said.
However, Mr Hester still has major hurdles to overcome.
Britain's financial regulator said in March that UK banks must raise £25bn of extra capital by the end of the year to absorb any future losses on loans.
Although the regulator has not yet given specific guidance to individual banks, analysts expect the biggest shortfall to be at RBS.
RBS said its capital position had improved during the period and its core tier one ratio - a bank's main benchmark of health - had risen by 50 basis points to 10.8%.
It expects to have a core capital ratio of 9% at the end of 2013 on the basis of full implementation of tougher Basel III capital rules.
The City regulator wants major lenders to achieve a core-tier one ratio of at least 7%.

I volunteered with GVI in Fiji for two weeks. Whenever I talk about my experience (which is quite often!) I wish I had been able to go for longer. I had an incredible time working one-on-one with the students who were lagging behind in reading, English comprehension and maths. However, beyond just the actual volunteering, the other volunteers and staff really helped to make my experience unforgettable. The atmosphere on base was so fun and friendly and I know that I have made some life-long friends. I was nervous, but these people helped to allay my fears and made it one of the best times of my life! Whilst the conditions were basic, I wasn't going there for a luxury holiday. I was there to help make a difference and that I am sure GVI do! GVI is a really worthwhile and beneficial organisation that works well with and within the communities in which they are based. I am eagerly anticipating my next GVI experience, wherever and whenever that may be!
