  1. unless it's somthing simple then every camera that goes in for repairs goes to the same repair centre (in your case it'd go back to Canon, obviously) and the resultant price is about the same guigsy's certainly the guy to consult in that regard though
  2. ...each of the ten classic steps used by dictators to close down open societies are underway in the United States today.
  3. thanks again todd & heather for the vicarious adventure as for flickr- i opened two accounts myself which gives me tonnes of room to upload pix (maybe something like photobucket would work too).
  4. amen brother. look at anais nin, writing porn for some patron or other at $1/word. It got good critical reviews after the fact as well, with her writing style inevitably influencing the stories and allowing her to write things she wanted to write

  10. NEW YORK - As the recording industry wakes up from its summer slumber and starts thinking about what will motivate the consumer for the holiday selling season, the major labels are getting ready to launch the "ringle," which combines the mostly defunct single format with ringtones. Each ringle is expected to contain three songs -- one hit and maybe one remix and an older track -- and one ringtone, on a CD with a slip-sleeve cover. The idea is that if consumers in the digital age can download any tracks they want individually, why not let them buy singles in the store as well? It also enables stores to get involved in the ringtone phenomenon. Sony BMG Music Entertainment, which came up with the ringle idea, and Universal Music Group are going to be the first out of the box with ringles. The former will unleash 50 titles in October and November, while UMG will have anywhere from 10 to 20 titles ready. The Recording Industry Association of America has approved the "ringle" name, and there is an industrywide logo to help brand it. But except for Sony, each major still needs to cut a deal with a digital aggregator to allow consumers to redeem the ringtone. Meanwhile, label profit margins for the format are considered slim. The majors are gambling that the ringle can instil in consumers the mind-set to connect to the Internet via a CD. Sources suggest the ringle will carry either a $5.98 or $6.98 U.S. list price, while the wholesale cost to retailers will be less than $4. If it's $5.98, ringles will have a 31-per-cent gross margin, shy of the 35-per-cent profit margin that CD albums carry nowadays; if it's $6.98, that would give retail a 42.7-per-cent gross margin, similar to the profit margin cassette and vinyl albums enjoyed back in the day. On the plus side, big retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and Amazon have agreed to support the configuration, although all of them may not be ready to do so at launch date, sources say.
