Yeah. I've been following the story. They got what they contracted for
and then wanted to photographer to give them more at no extra charge.
Apparently she was only willing to go so far with that & it wasn't good
enough for the couple.

I think the judgment has already been appealed.

Anyone want to give odds on which comes first - the final judgment from
the court or their divorce?

It seems the high rez images, though somewhat understated in the 
article, were the real issue here. The extra cost of the album cover 
photo was just a red herring that demands more public attention. Hi-rez 
images are 21st century negs and you never easily give them up.

With about a 12 hour time zone difference, it should be pretty simple to

You could look at the times, interpolate between the stops and get a rough idea 
as to location.  If
it's 200 miles between stops, four hours on the schedule, and the photo was 
taken about an hour
after leaving the station, then the photo was likely taken about 50 miles along 
the path.

Re: Ot: the recent perils of annsan

2017-08-06 Thread ann sanfedele
I'm sure it is an economic consideration - I do wonder if when they 
started to show flex dates on the calendars it threw people (especialy 
those who actually use wall calendars)  off because the date that shows 
up first is the current month - I know of at least three cases of people 
ordering my calendars and didnt even think to look at the little box 
that said what month came first - assuming January.


But not to tell us up front just is wrong  .  Ive learned today about 
another site that might work for me in future - I'm looking into it 
tomorrow when I can call and get a real person on the phone.

The composition is pleasing on the second one, but methinks more

The effect of the second one is nice, it's possible it could be nicer, 
I don't know if contrast is the dial to frob though.

At a year old, the kid has a black belt in cute, but that's part of the 
job description when they're that age. Rumor has it that even I was cute 
at that age.

You could look at the times, interpolate between the stops and get a 
rough idea as to location.  If it's 200 miles between stops, four hours 
on the schedule, and the photo was taken about an hour after leaving the 
station, then the photo was likely taken about 50 miles along the path.

Thanks, Rick!  It would be nice to think it will help...
I'm getting some replies (not on our list) from friends for other future 
calendar possibles, but

I still hope somehow cafe press will realize the error of their ways...

Now I have to go and see which one you bought :-)

Very nice, I think I'd like it better if the reflections on the left

The composition is pleasing on the second one, but methinks more

The effect of the second one is nice, it's possible it could be nicer, I 
don't know if contrast is the dial to frob though.

Next I took a tumble on the subway stairs (fortunately, the second step 
from the bottom inside the station) and while I didn't break anything 
and there was a plethoria of millenials surrounding me to help, (new 
entry for Exaultaion of larks?) I got bruised and hurt my leg to the 
extent that I'm using a cane and an ace bandage today ... nothing broke.
This was all after I took Ashley to the vet - and the good news there is 
she is in fine shape for an 12 year old but it

was costly to find that out.

Then then ... well, read below - I posted this to Facebook but most 
of you are not there  .



"Still in shock from learning yesterday that cafe press (which has about
twenty of my wall calendars for sale) is removing wall calendars from
the list of products they offer. bad enough they have taken "wall
calendar" off the list of products designers for them can select to work
on, but they are gradually removing the CURRENT wall calendars from our
shops and the market place. Adding insult to injury, there was no
warning of this in the form of an alert or announcement - I stumbled on
it when I was going to tweak the wording on the landing page of my shop
https://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff

The nice thing about having my calendars on cafepress for the past ten
years is that the template is renewed for each new year so someone who
might want to buy an older calendar can do it. The calendar grid is well
designed, straightforward and very user friendly for those who really do
use them (as I do) for keeping track of to do's and did do's in a medium
which is permanent and not subject to viruses, crashes, accidental
deletions. Anyone I told about this so far has simply gasped and in
audio caps said "WHY" . So, for one thing, if anyone want's to grab
any of these before they are dead it would be appreciated, but it might
be even more helpful, in terms of getting them to drop this bad idea, if
you simply bitched to them about it, or tried to order one of the wall
calendars that have already been suddenly made unavailable.

If you clicked on the /Twelve National Parks, Bouquet or New York
Details/, those are already gone as wall calendars. If any of you (I
know some of you are on cafe press too) have wall calendars up do give
them your input. Please share with anyone you know who has any calendars
by anyone that were produced by cafe press , or would want wall
calendars in the future from anyone and might help to encourage them to
reinstate the wall calendar format . Thanks guys, for reading, this
really shook me up. "


bay photo makes calendars but they cost too much, Lulu is reasonable but 
they are not for
people who actually write on them  - as you know if you got the PDML 
calendars that look pretty
but have no real boxes for each day... anyone got any ideas?  My self 
production was a disaster,

too much work, printer problems, virtually little profit.
