I guess they got tired of people sending angry emails about data transfer fees:
"Amazon provides an online calculator to help customers decide whether it makes financial sense to ship data via mail rather than uploading over the Internet. You plug in the number of terabytes, devices, average file size, return shipping information and other factors, and find out how much the data transfer would cost via mail compared to standard Internet uploads.

Senator Carl Levin collected nearly $1.5 million dollars during the first quarter of 2007 for his re-election campaign to a sixth term in the U.S. Senate.
Campaign finance records released on Friday show the Democrat's campaign has about $1.6 million on hand. The campaign spent about $250,000 dollars during the period.
It was Levin's largest-ever quarterly fund-raising yield. Levin has typically waited until the two years before an election before ramping up fundraising efforts.
First elected in 1978, the Detroiter is considered a strong favorite next year. No potential Republican challenger has yet emerged.

This is by far the best protection I've had in a shin guard. The hard plastic shell has saved my legs from some really hard hits. They do run a little small. I wore a small in the Protec and wear a Medium in the Probot.

Thanks for putting this together! Very well written, and said all so nicely =) I hope that people read this, and take it to heart!
XD Well, I've been here for little more than a week, but already I feel I've gotten a pretty good grip on things, and am giving out advise to people where I can...
Nice thread, NoNameC68, it gets the message through and is well written.
I'm sorry but i came to this page via a link from another guys thread saying much the same thing but telling people to view this one instead. So much for friendly you even tried to outdo another player with a thread like his shame on you, you preach like you are all friendly and welcoming but only upfront when you think noones really watching you go bad shame on you for shame.
good job! but the name has barely anything to do with it.
This thread is not like his. This thread does not talk about spam, rules, or points. It talks about allowing people to venture out themselves. I am tired of people trying to pull off the whole profesional act.
I never tried to outdo anybody else. I linked this thread from his thread because it is important he understands what I mean. I made the link because this one better explains my point.
But his thread was good enough and didn't require upstaging.
He was only trying to help but you made out he was some noob intimidating monster you cannot talk about people acting proffesional because you are trying to do the same thing in order to act like a mod yourself.
Once again NoName, you have astounded us with your ability to...write well. =D
Wow, dudeguy45...
What was the point of reviving this thread?
Last post on it was about 7 months ago.
Just flag people, please do not post anymore.
please do not post anymore
why?... I didn't do anything bad
I'm sorry, I meant just flag that user's spam, instead of saying you shouldn't do that. I should've went into a little more detail in my previous post.

What Do You Want Audio Recording Engineers To Know?
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
December 21, 2009
If you had the chance to shape the future of how audio recording engineers worked with voice over professionals, would you take advantage of it?
What if you were to receive that opportunity today?
Make a difference in your future and in the futures of countless voice over professionals and audio recording engineers by commenting now!
A New Line of Communication Opening Up
I have an opportunity to speak before a class at OIART (Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology) and was wondering if you had any tips or insights you'd like to share with them via my presentation.
Part of my lecture will address working with voice over professionals in the context of a recording session.
What Does an Ideal Studio Session Look Like to You?
By sharing your thoughts as comments on this article, we'll be able to set the stage for how present and future audio engineers interact with voice over talent.
You may not realize it but the recording engineer can be your greatest ally in the booth. In the absence of a voice director the audio engineer is responsible for leading you through a session and ensuring that the best performance possible is achieved.
When things go well, working together can be a satisfying experience for both the engineer and talent.
On the flip side, sessions can be excruciating if you and the engineer do not see eye to eye or are unaware of what your expectations are of each other. We covered this a bit last month when I published some audio recording engineer pet peeves.
Opportunity Knocking!
This is your opportunity to help shape the minds of the next generation of people you'll be working with in recording studio sessions.
Do you have anything you'd like these people to know, be sensitive to (or think that they'd find useful) about working with voice talent BEFORE they start their careers?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,

I think future audio engineers should know two things:
1) Set the audio levels and the placement of the mic BEFORE the recording session. To do that during the session is a big NO NO and may cause the VO talent to loose concentration.
2) They should not give feedback on VO talent's performance unless there is no director or the have enough experience working in the voice-over industry.Posted by:
I agree with your second point, but the engineer can only approximate the placement and levels until the talent gets there. Making adjustments is part of their job. It should be possible to do that with out disturbing the talent.Posted by:
After carefully thinking about what you said Sam, I definitely agree with you. Thanks for your feedback. :DPosted by:
Having been on both sides of the glass, everyone needs to remember to stay positive and pleasant while committing to the task at hand. The project and the relationships it spawns can only benefit.Posted by:
Here's a technical issue I've experienced that can come back to bite you after the session and force you have to bring the talent back in to re-do everything.... Turn OFF your phones... and get all the producers and talent on both sides of the glass to do the same... don't just put them on mute, turn them OFF. The pulses they send out when they're on will sometimes show up as 'noise' in the mix, even though you don't hear it while you're working.Posted by:
"If you're not using Source-Connect yet, please start."Posted by:
I certainly agree that everyone needs to turn off their cell phones. However, I have been working as a voice talent for years, and I *know* I have to turn off my phone, no need to tell me. Recently, I had a relatively green engineer recording me, and I felt offended by him very formally telling me to turn off my phone (which was, of course, already off), as if I was the green one.
Furthermore, Pablo, I agree with you: no feedback needed, unless there is no director present or the engineer has enough experience. In these cases, feedback can be very valuable indeed.
Finally, yes, I know I should eat enough before the session, so as to avoid stomach rumblings. However, when there's a 3-4 hour session, the food eventually evaporates, and regretfully, a dread stomach rumble may occur. I once had an engineer play back a stomach rumble at full volume for the client to hear, and it was humiliating. I'm not sure why he did this. Possibly he found it amusing. While I'm happy to joke around, the client's presence made it embarrassing.
Now, with that off my chest, let me say that a good audio engineer who greets me with a smile and a "How are you doing?" and treats me with respect makes all the difference to me. With a good, friendly engineer, I feel I can do my best work and finish the session tired, but relaxed and happy. The engineer makes a difference!Posted by:
I echo what Sean said. I, too, spend time on both sides of the glass. So an encouraging attitude contributes a ton to the state of mind of the VO artist. I would also suggest budding engineers take a beginning VO class...not that they might want to pursue that profession, but so they know what it's like to walk a mile in those shoes.Posted by:
I'm not sure what courses the audio engineers take but I would suggest that they take a training course for voice talking and as part of the course two engineers team up with one running the recording session and the other doing the voicing and then change roles.
As a voice actress I've asked various times if I can sit with the director and engineer while another voice actor is recording. I've only asked this of directors I've previously worked with. They know that I have a home studio and that I'm interested in learning more about production.
Another point is that we all need to be aware of business ethics.
I would also like to encourage more women to go into audio engineering.
Thanks.Posted by:
I've loved it when an a/e shares helpful tips with me-- once, I had a lot of mouth clicking going on, and the a/e offered to get me an apple, which he brought me cut up in slices for easy eating! It was so sweet of him-- for so many reasons! At that time I didn't know that eating an apple (or drinking apple juice) was a good antidote for mouth clicking, but I learned it that day!
Debbie IrwinPosted by:
Victoria: right on with the friendliness thing! Nothing like an engineer with a good attitude! It gets the session off to a good start. Most of my engineers have been on the other side of an isdn feed. They are generally a buddy! Sometimes in a take they are able to hear things that a client will miss and we can record a correct take right there...rather than have the client hear the error later in production which would require a retake session. This activity impresses the client to know we wanted to make things right, right there. The input of a good engineer is always welcome, by both client and me! Just this past week an engineer called me about a session the previous day. There was some audio slapback on playback that no one heard on recording. Could he get a complete re read from me and can we do it without the clients involvement? No problem, I replied. Goin the extra mile is remembered by everyone I work with and hopefully means they will remember that the next time the client/engineer needs a voice person.
larry waynePosted by:
I'm thinking of several times in session (this has been with the client and/or director present) when the engineer and I have made eye contact. Eye contact that means, "You're doing great, this job takes patience and professionalism. We are both good at what we do. Keep up the good work." That has meant a lot to me, and not one word was spoken.
Positivism is the rule of thumb. One of my favorite engineers (without a client and/or director present) says, at the end of the read, "That was beautiful. Now that you're warmed up, how about reading the first paragraph again?" Instead of picking apart the first paragraph or page of my read, he lets me go through my process to get comfortable. He knows how to bring out the best, by trusting in me.
Hi, Stephanie ... sorry I missed you at the NYC mixer.
Here's my biggest engineer pet peeve: after you've already set me up in the booth and I've got my headphones on, please do not make audio fly loudly all across my head. You can always record flat and apply whatever effects or EQ you need later on. Do not make me keep repeating lines over and over until you get it right; my best take is always the first (at most, the second), and you just wasted it!
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, as it were.

Skill Level Intermediate
So we've created our dialogue with the internal mouth symbol. And now what we're going to do is have some fun and integrate it into some work that we've done in a previous chapter, which is the head turn animation. I've already cleaned that file up and placed it inside your exercise files folder. So let's open that first. It is called dialog_turn_01. Let's have a look at that and double- click on it, so we can go inside it. That's it.
So the other thing we want to do now is to import and combine this with the mouth animation that we did in the other project. Let's open that and that's on dialog_ 02 in your Chapter7 dialog exercise files folder. And we just tunnel into the symbol. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) So we have our two tabs open. There are a couple of different ways of copying files from one Flash project into another. You could open two different Library panels and move the files in that way if you prefer.
But in this particular case I'm going to show you I think what is the simpler of the two. And that would be simply copying the mouth timeline from our original Flash file and duplicating that into our head turn scene. So let's go into the head turn first. This is our head turn scene. Clicking in here. And you remember I've said many times, you want to duplicate the symbols. Don't wreck the one that's already there. So in this case we have a mouth head turn symbol, which isn't doing anything at all. So that's good. We can work on this. Just make sure that you're not going to be making any drastic alterations to the master rig.
So let's open the library panel, have a look at that again. So, there is our original mouth rig, and we don't want to mess with that. As long as we work inside here are good. So really all we want to do is copy these frames and labels. We can right-click and go Copy Frames. Go in to our head turn scene, we are in here. Let's just select from the shapes to the lip shadow and paste those frames in there.
So we will just activate the masks. Okay, that's good. And then we'll just copy the sound file, same thing. I click to paste them in here. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) Okay let's I see what that looks like on the outer symbol. So we will go back out to the body level. I'm going to drop the sound file on the top of this layer. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) Undo that. (Audio recording: What's happening now? What's happening now? What's happening now?) You might find it maybe it's happening at the wrong frame. You might delay it a little bit.
So to make that change let's say we have him speaking a little later, because he is anticipating the move. I would like to see a move a little bit before that. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) Try to ignore the mouth at this point. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) It's a little bit better, so then a couple more little changes to make that work. We've moved the sound to happen on frame six. So let's go into the mouth. Now since we have moved our sound file to happen on frame six, we should do the same thing with the other layers. Just try on them.
We've opened up a hole here so that's just pull the b mouth back a bit. And Alt+Option+Click to keep it there. I'm going to switch off tweening for the beginning so we just have it held. So now we've just moved the entire dialog forward to match the physical action, okay. (Audio recording: What's happening now? What's happening now?) I've noticed one little thing to in the dialogue. This happens a lot. The p mouth, the closed mouth, It's little hard to see. There is a very weak shape actually, graphically, because it's so thin.
So one thing that we can do to help it is just to duplicate it, Alt+Option+Click again. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) It's amazing the difference that one little frame will make. So let look at-- (What's happening now?) There we go. (Audio recording: What's happening now? What's happening now?) So there we have our character with easily integrated dialog. (Audio recording: What's happening now?) So it's yet another example of the beauty of nesting the mouth symbol, inside the head symbol, inside the body symbol.
(Audio recording: What's happening now? What's happening now?) And we can control not just the animation itself, but the timing relative to the body move. If we wanted, of course you can do the opposite. We could retime the outer body layer. Move these positions around, but again more engineering than we can cover in this small scope of this section of the course. So there is one more thing that I want to play with. If we look at the head with the mouth. We've have the head turn. There is a lot of stuff happening here, but the jaw really should be moving to follow that some of the other shapes.
If you look at them in slower speeds, you'll see that looks little odd. I like to see this chin moving to help track that mouth shape. So next what we're going to do is to animate the jaw and make some of the shapes look a lot more structured and coherent and realistic.

My paypal requests do not work when someone is browsing from the United Arab Emirates. I get "Sorry, it seems that there are no available payment methods for your state. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternate arrangements." on the checkout page.
When i use a vpn and hit the site from the UK or US, it shows the paypal option. I am getting sales from Australia so i gather it is working fine from there.

Manchester City 1 Everton 1: Mancini hits back at booing fans, saying 'I'm not stupid'
Roberto Mancini was left bemused and angry in equal measure as Manchester City fans jeered his decision to substitute Carlos Tevez as they chased a late win against bogey team Everton.
Poor Mancini must wonder what he has to do to win the total trust of City's fans. He delivered the title last season and the team remain unbeaten at home for nearly two years, having not lost for 21 Premier League games anywhere.
Back on terms: Carols Tevez celebrates the equaliser
Match facts
Man City: Hart, Maicon, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov (Zabaleta 7), Toure, Barry, Silva,Tevez (Aguero 68), Nasri, Dzeko (Balotelli 80). Subs Not Used: Pantilimon, Javi Garcia, Sinclair, Toure.
Yellow cards: Lescott, Zabaleta.
Scorer: Tevez 43 pen.
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Gibson,Osman, Naismith (Oviedo 73), Fellaini, Pienaar,Jelavic (Heitinga 90). Subs Not Used: Mucha, Hitzlsperger, Gueye, Barkley, Vellios.
Yellow card: Fellaini.
Scorer: Fellaini 33.
Att: 47,386
Ref: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
The latest Premier League table, fixtures and results
And yet they still booed around the
Etihad when Tevez's No 32 was held up midway through the second half as
Mancini decided to pair substitute Sergio Aguero with Edin Dzeko, rather
than keep all three on the field.
The fact Mancini produced a
match-winning substitution against Wigan on Wednesday by taking off
Aguero did not seem to gain him any credit with the supporters, and
afterwards he seemed to be rather cheesed off with it.
'I had my reason to change Carlo, I am not stupid,' he smouldered.
'I know the supporters would like to
have four strikers on the field but football is not like this. You need
defenders as well because Everton could score. They are always
dangerous at set-pieces.'
Mancini has beaten Everton only once
in seven attempts since he arrived in Manchester and they were probably
the last League opponents he wanted before next Sunday's blockbuster
derby against United - the top two in the table.
Everton remain the last team to win
at the Etihad, back in December 2010, and only a soft penalty equaliser
awarded to City denied them a repeat success yesterday.
Calm customer: Carlos Tevez slots the penalty
Referee Lee Probert decided Marouane
Fellaini's gentlest of contacts with Dzeko on the stroke of half-time
was enough to justify the 6ft 4in Bosnian crashing to the floor as if
his legs had been chopped off.
Mancini ended up in an argument with the fans (above) after taking off Carlos Tevez (right), saying afterwards: 'You need defenders as well because Everton could score.' City haven't lost in 37 Premier League home games
Tevez gratefully accepted the penalty gift, much to the fury of Everton boss David Moyes as it cancelled out Fellaini's opener.
To add to the general confusion, Moyes was told by the fourth official the spot-kick had been awarded for a pull by Leon Osman, who had not touched anyone as David Silva's corner hurtled towards Dzeko.
'It was nowhere near a penalty kick,' said Moyes.
Good fella: Marouane Fellaini puts Everton ahead at the Etihad
Main man: Marouane Fellaini scores for Everton
'I don't how many penalties City
have had at home recently but I'm told it's quite a few. You can lose at
Manchester City easily enough without decisions like that. It was a
real soft one. If you give that, there would be penalty kicks every time
there is a corner.'
Out in front: Marouane Fellaini celebrates yet another goal
Mancini disagreed with Moyes, presumably on the basis that any kind of contact, no matter how faint, constitutes a foul.
But the Italian has other things to worry about with Sunday's derby up next. Rarely can a group of supporters be more disenchanted given that they remain the only unbeaten team in England this season.
Having words: Everton players protest against the penalty award
Those City fans, who were in the third tier of English football not that long ago, expect far, far more now.
The flow of goals which marked the start of last season's campaign is absent from their play with Aguero and Tevez struggling, Dzeko only scoring when he comes off the bench and Mario Balotelli's goal at Wigan last week his first in the League this season.
Rough and tumble: Steven Pienaar goes down under a challenge from Manchester City's Joleon Lescott
'At the moment, our strikers aren't as strong as last season, but that can happen,' admitted the manager.
How Mancini and every other Premier
League manager would love Fellaini in their line-up. After a turgid
opening half-hour, the giant Belgian broke the deadlock with his ninth
goal of the campaign, meeting a Leighton Baines cross and then beating
Pablo Zabaleta to the rebound after Joe Hart had parried, the final
touch appearing to come off his knee.
No joy: Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini reacts
Everton would have reached the
interval ahead but for Dzeko's theatrics. Dzeko seemed to move his arm
towards Fellaini first as they jostled for a corner, and when the
Everton player held his ground, the striker went over. Tevez saw Tim
Howard dive left before driving the ball home down the middle.
Nikica Jelavic almost nicked it late on for Everton with a low free-kick tipped around the post by Hart.
Eight up: Marouane Fellaini scores

About MeHi there! Thanks for looking at my port!
I will be attending college this coming fall, which limits my time availible for shoots. Planning 1-2 weeks ahead is necessary :)
I'm interested in fashion, glamour, commercial and creative, artistic concepts. I look to do selective TF* work and collaborative paid assignments - PM me we can talk about your ideas and possible options! I am always friendly, talkative, and professional, and am VERY open to trying new ideas.
I love anything avant garde, I learn very quickly, always show on time, and am enthusiastic about the opportunity to model.
I have 10 + years of dance experience, including ballet, pointe, jazz and modern, and am open to shoots with these talents incorporated.
Over the years, I have also become very skilled at doing my own hair and makeup, so even for a stylized shoot, I am willing and able to create a look that goes along with the theme.
Appearance: My hair is currentlyabout 3 inches past my shoulders. I have a nose ring on my right nostril, which will be able to be removed soon - and a small tattoo of a vine around my right ring finger - which can easily be covered if necessary !
I want to know YOUR ideas so that I can be exactly the model you need!
