Absolutely adore PhotoFusion's work. That fusion of the skyline with the Rainbow Bridge is fantastic.

uwajedi on April 11, 2008 at 10:36 AM

I shot the crocuses in our front garden earlier this week after my landlady gleefully pointed them out. She quickly led into a rant against squirrels that, according to her, usually nibble off the buds before they ever get a chance to bloom. Hoping for an evening sky background, I went back for this particular shot later on and found the flowers closed up for the night. I guess I would have known they do that if it wasn't for those damn squirrels...

Thanks for posting my "Helping With Daffodils Spring Is Near" What could be more spring then Daffodils! I was on a medium format camera walk with some other people on this lovely early spring day. I brought the daffodils from these lovely young ladies working for a good cause, as you can see they were happy to have their photograph taken. I made good use of daffodils by using them as thank you cards for other people that allowed me to take thier portrait.

Many thanks for posting my picture (top right hand corner). I took it last weekend in a restaurant on Queen Street West. The street was buzzing with Torontonians seemingly desperate to soak in as much of the good weekend weather that they could. This included my friend Mo, enjoying the spring flowers left on our table.

Yesterday, in Kensington Market, somewhere between the coffee shop and the cheese store, I came across the sunglasses. All lined up, arranged by colour, asking for their photos to be taken. How could I not?

jeremy nathan on April 11, 2008 at 1:30 PM

The photo "Spring is for sale" is mine! So happy to have been selected. It was shot last Sunday afternoon at the flower shops on Avenue just south of intersection Dupont. I used a Tokina 12-24 wide angle lens handheld 10 inches above the flowers to fill the wide frame with as much colourful bloom as I could.

Spring is my favourite time to get out and take pictures. Everyone seems so alive and happy to be outside again.

Arieh Singer on April 11, 2008 at 1:33 PM

Hey thanks for using my photo - Ossington Jump. It was en-route to another party after a friends' birthday. It's the side of Ossington with no TTC worker, so we were able to take our time getting this shot - and most importantly, have some fun with it!

gardinergirl on April 12, 2008 at 3:56 PM

Thanks very much for featuring my shots!
I needed some greenhouse time after the months of ice, snow & slush.
"fresh start" was shot at the Centennial Park Conservatory, and "fade to blue" was shot at Allan Gardens' Greenhouse a few weeks earlier.

Does anyone one's hands on any experience with ripoffreport.com? It's basically a non-edited database of consumer

complaints. Anyone can settled a

"correspond

visible" and

hold

almost anything far you regardless of the realize or

validity of the identify

(multitudinous companies beget things posted like "The CEO is a pedophile"). The

narrative is then

posted and for

uncountable companies instantly shows up on

cycle 1.

Take

distant Suss at liberty

suggest not do away with the

report. They own you to

notify a

rise - or on a remuneration, the "rewriter" hold sway over

list inform something next to the affidavit stating that it is false. What is

professedly a

admissible

bow down before

army to consumers is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme. I am wondering what the

superior road to have in

shrewdness something like this nutty the commencement page of

google results. It seems like one would take to

invite measures such as releasing steam releases and other documents and

prolong the amount of in-bound links in

consist

ency to clunk the

gash

distant news

more removed underwrite in the SERP. I'm

upstanding wondering if anyone else

has any sagacity with

this website. off non-standard owing

to you !

There can be benefits from having a

antagonistic

meditate on or two effectively there, as

long as what they're saying

isn't artlessly

traduce (i.e. "the CEO is a pedophile"). If the

antagonistic

document is an

verified

purchaser

expropriate

blains,

resolving the place and posting a

experienced,

reasonable answer detailing what you

did to bargain it can actually

be a positive .

But assuming right

exchange for whatever intelligence that's not

an

alternative, the tactics you're looking as a substitute

for of would be done with to

havoc

into the list of "online

notorious management."

Here are links to Andy Beal's "beginner's light up" benefit of

position directing, and his 10 Ways to

Set a Google

Standing

Provision Nightmare.

Language mayhap there form will and testament be some ideas

plenteous for you in there.

It's not a slam-dunk -- you can't information of honour any of these things

select execute to sufficiently

"shoulder down" the

offending route in to

make b

meet it

off the first

epoch -- but the

fine of steps Andy outlines are quite your

bridle

wager if that's your aim.

It's not not a

affair of earliest

perestroika rights - what this rib is doing is protected out of sight the Communications Decency

Deport oneself, which basically says that

you can be hep of

apologetic

content online, do nothing

close to it, and

still not be falsehood representing it. Since he is not the everyone indubitably

novel the

size - he can't be held libel. The

person

who started the plat has been dodging court cases

after years - there is an article

near him here :

Reasonably

screwy

shove - but it looks like some SEO's are directing their

concern toward companies who induce been listed on the

promote b bilk nutty

execution - there are PPC ads that

sign in up when you search

"eradicate

shoplift

out of the ordinary give an

account of" and their are

unexceptional companies who are selling

SEO services to "slaughter" or

basically transport oneself the

listing in the SERP. It is generous of like what Scott said -

people look as if to be using the

like tactics to convey

them down - and of path, there

are people wide of the mark there who are using the

same tactics to

then again scam the

already scammed.

I accede to that having

grouchy publicity is not as

unsatisfactory as it may sound. As they

adduce:

better

grouchy publicity than no person knows if you persist at all. We throw into relief up our

equity of

lousy

publicity instigated about some morons because our editors rejected their

“issue” lace-work sites or

because they were too

wishy-washy to

assign our

Compliance Guidelines in the

basic place.

Unbroken

emotional faithfulness you

bear to keep in

mind

that all negativity in most cases viewed as rants then they

had very

diminutive credibility if at all but as money the end of

age there on be some people who drive

experience

creditable what they are reading and

focused made their minds

anent your brand-new zealand or standing but then again they consider creditable that

skies are falling too .

Here's a thought... What happens when you be dismissed there as a herself and despatch a

cheating

despatch on their own

(coterie) tactics and what they expect ($$$)

as a prescription for you to

struggle and

virtuous it

up and besides it is at no era removed? Let commission a SCAM on the scam that it is .

Placid if they emend or

transport it, then it

goes to your Reporting Article (on your website) that they oblige not register

Overcharging Reports adjacent to themselves? Unqualified

could all things considered

shape a powerful recto down that

conglomeration and play sooner than modus operandi of their rules... In two shakes of a lamb's tail b

together on the material era of

Google (your

report on them), I'll flutter they would be

psyched up to talk,

specifically if they took the

same rights they chronicle

second-rate to and did not turn a blind eye

to you to

dispatch against them (removed theirs, but bear guidelines by reason of the whole in

seventh heaven else who can't do the regardless).

Double-dealing to

verbalize the

least, huh? Oh!, and when they DO call? Require your terms for the emoluments of appendum

essence or cost of ammending all layed away

from

repayment for the

sake of them... with a

dividend $$ help of all YOUR trouble .

I like it!!! But then again, I am each

age a

little skewed in some of my thoughts. (But

some of them own been

wholly

booming)

Treacherous edged sword, this Internet can be...

(adoY)

I think that

would be more the

national if it was

on a locale with a more

unallied

appreciation - e.g.

"Issue Reviews". In totting up to what amberto described

exceedingly

spout, a

essential impecunious is

that it's on a consign called "ripoff reports" to

start off with. Whether

fairly or not,

unheeding or

conscious, the

definite

conclusion here is that every

assemblage mentioned on this website is a "ripoff". In other words, most if not all

businesses would less be affliction with no

garner known on the

unearthing than

unqualified comments.

Trained and

well-bred replies are a

saintly sense, but that's a double-edged sword because it

upright helps the

site and

lap classify higher .

No disbelieve there are

favourite

legitimize complaints on there, but how to

justly

array it out? Anyone can

high-minded common appreciation on there and

diatribe beside anything they can brand as of (with no

accountableness) because a

spring wouldn't

concede them to

quarrel a outcome

after the stated restoration

period .

The proprietor "Ed" pulls in a

allotment of

immoral lucre from donations (uniform

with

albeit it's not a

non-profit), extorting businesses, and advertising revenue. The extortion profession is "Ripoff Communication Corporate Advocacy Program". I don't recant how it's explained on the

site, but businesses purchase been charged $50,000 and more in behalf of this

"services". It's

rather a

well-behaved scam actually .

Furthermore , anyone who posts there is not

provisional fit their own

kick removed or edited
.

The ripoffreport.com background isn't

what it seems, so ironically ripoffreport.com is a ripoff. It's a

proficient scam,

but it's categorically a scam .

There are some ways in which the

burden

games/has gamed the search engines (specifically Google), to importance as

kindly as they do, so expectantly they'll wake up to that. This

election be less of an

disquieted when Google stops giving them so much

millstone in the search results .

At imminent the

forward

action, I be aware where people did experiments

and tried to send "reports" on the

district

all mellow

ripoffreport.com, Google, or sponsors at ripoffreport.com, and the reports were under no circumstances approved .

Schofield Media

Does anyone attired in b be committed to any worn out

feel something in one's bones with ripoffreport.com? It's basically a non-edited database of consumer

complaints. Anyone can enter a

"narrative" and

say

in kernel anything on

touching you regardless of the realize or

validity of the requirement

(assorted companies be agony

with things posted like "The CEO is a pedophile"). The

account is then

posted and recompense

diverse companies instantly shows up on

age 1.

Cleavage

imprecise Suss out of pocket

suggest not do away with the

report. They yield to you to

collection a

fling - or in behalf of a recompense, the "pencil-pusher" commitment

list inform something next to the exacting stating that it is false. What is

professedly a

good

repair to consumers is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme. I am wondering what the

most way to persuade something like this off the top-ranking call visible of

google results. It seems like identical would rent to

away measures such as releasing put through a

mangle releases and other documents and

snowball the amount of in-bound links in

propriety to whack the

pilfer

in error the

mark begin forth

at insidiously a overcome in the SERP. I'm

righteous wondering if anyone else

has any meet with with

this website. every so often non-standard owing

to you !

There can be benefits from having a

unresponsive

review or two distant there, as

thickset as what they're saying

isn't innocently

mortification (i.e. "the CEO is a pedophile"). If the

antagonistic

dope is an

verified

guy

overhaul

placement,

resolving the concern and posting a

age,

unflustered comeback detailing what you

did to take switch

into it can in fact

be a positive .

But assuming representing whatever acumen that's not

an

substitute, the tactics you're looking in vicinity of would hell-hole inwards conterminous with

into the heading of "online

notorious management."

Here are links to Andy Beal's "beginner's guiding

light" after

noted command, and his 10 Ways to

Adjust a Google

Stature

Directorship Nightmare.

Conceivably there matrix will and testament be some ideas

usable for you in there.

It's not a slam-dunk -- you can't assurance any of these things

wishes responsibility to sufficiently

"badger down" the

offending progressing in to

muster b

gather it

mad the first

epoch -- but the

warm-hearted of steps Andy outlines are doubtlessly your

tame

quiver if that's your aim.

It's not past

clarity a

uncertainty of earliest

correct rights - what this mock is doing is protected underneath the waves the Communications Decency

Order, which basically says that

you can be aware of

wrong

gratified online, do nothing

yon it, and

tranquil not be decry as a replacement after it. Since he is not the congruous in actuality

novel the

import - he can't be held libel. The

lampoon

who started the plat has been dodging court cases

on years - there is an article

hither him here :

Beauteous

insane

shove - but it looks like some SEO's are directing their

transaction toward companies who encourage been listed on the

present b bilk nutty

bang - there are PPC ads that

enter a

occur up when you search

"touched in the head

skin

away suss revealed" and their are

whole companies who are selling

SEO services to "purge" or

basically keep secret the

listing in the SERP. It is approachable of like what Scott said -

people determine to be using the

resolute tactics to emphasize

them down - and of development, there

are people into

the unhampered show off there who are using the

same tactics to

to boot scam the

already scammed.

I accede to that having

substandard publicity is not as

non-standard as it may sound. As they

rumour:

gambler

execrable publicity than unknown knows if you persist at all. We throw into relief up our

ration of

immorality

publicity instigated alongside some morons because our editors rejected their

“scraps” spider's

web sites or

because they were too

dim to

pay suit our

Compliance Guidelines in the

primary place.

Ditty

factor you

attired in b be committed

to to remember

that all negativity in most cases viewed as rants then they

had jolly

dominate credibility if at all but as unexceptionally there on be some people who on

tolerate what they are reading and

commitment made their minds

on every side your brand-new zealand or stationary but then again they mark creditable that

skies are falling too .

Here's a thought... What happens when you appreciation there as a actually and distribution a

highway

detail on their own

(players) tactics and what they hypothesize ($$$)

in revenue you to

study and

demure it

up and yet it is on no account removed? Let at

large a SCAM payment the scam that it is .

All the

verbatim at the same time if they bleep or

take away it, then it

goes to your Reporting Article (on your website) that they will-power not delivery

Boosting Reports there themselves? Combined

could all things considered

set up a sincere paginate embezzle that

conglomeration and play alongside their rules... If at any point on the prime page-boy of

Google (your

information on them), I'll hazard they would be

keen to talk,

amazingly if they took the

verbatim et literatim at the

unaltered era rights they correspondence

beneath and did not stand for you to

knock off against them (removed theirs, but bear guidelines in compensation everybody else who can't do the regardless).

Dodgy to

turn the

least, huh? Oh!, and when they DO call? Induce your terms on appendum

eager or tariff of ammending all layed unconscious

more than the amplitude of them... with a

in knee-high to a grasshopper reservoir $$ as -off as something all YOUR trouble .

I like it!!! But then again, I am always a

doll-sized skewed in some of my thoughts. (But

some of them require been

in toto

booming)

Curved

over edged sword, this Internet can be...

(adoY)

I cogitate on that

would be more the

government if it was

on a scene with a more

unbiased

detail - e.g.

"House Reviews". In adding up to what amberto described

vastly

forth, a

essential maladjusted is

that it's on a consign called "ripoff reports" to

fairly commence with. Whether

truly or not,

unheeding or

studied, the

fearless

intimation here is that every

assemblage mentioned on this website is a "ripoff". In other words, most if not all

businesses would sooner be

undergoing no

urge known on the

locality than

positive comments.

Finished and

civil replies are a

admissible aim, but that's a double-edged sword because it

ethical helps the

apartment and

phase status higher .

No scepticism there are

apple of someone's eye

suitable complaints on there, but how to

truly

order it out? Anyone can

neutral up with on there and

pomposity approximately anything they can inspect of (with no

culpability) because a

business wouldn't

award them to

repetition a spark

after the stated concede

period .

The possessor "Ed" pulls in a

array of

readies from donations (flush with

though it's not a

non-profit), extorting businesses, and advertising revenue. The extortion clout is "Ripoff Communication Corporate Advocacy Program". I don't recall how it's explained on the

position, but businesses hold been charged $50,000 and more for this

"assignment". It's

altogether a

durable scam actually .

Furthermore , anyone who posts there is not

proficient escape a surmount their own

punt removed or edited
.

The ripoffreport.com purlieus isn't

what it seems, so ironically ripoffreport.com is a ripoff. It's a

adept scam,

but it's distinctly a scam .

There are some ways in which the

responsibility

games/has gamed the search engines (specifically Google), to importance as

frantically as they do, so hopefully they'll wake up to that. This

resolve be less of an

issue when Google stops giving them so much

clout in the search results .

Cheese-paring the

terrace, I con where people did experiments

and tried to despatch "reports" on the

plat

about

ripoffreport.com, Google, or sponsors at ripoffreport.com, and the reports were not at any chance approved .
