Goodbye Old Blog - Hello New Blog

2009-08-30T07:19:00Z

This will be my last post on this blog, I am moving to a new Bigger and better Blog. Cooler looking, less fuss and muss. No Stupid Go Daddy Ad ^

It is much more customizable and prettier and I can now post larger 900 Pixel wide image which I think better suit my stuff.

I will keep this old one around just cuz I don't feel like transferring 100 post to the new blog, plus for some reason people in Germany like my Wildflower Pictures

So now if you want to follow all my new stuff, either go to groundupphotos and click on New Blog,..or bookmark this new address

Bryce Canyon

Wall street, Navajo Loop Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park

This is the decent down 550 ft in 6/10ths of a Mile

In the spring of 2006, Wall street suffered a landslide in which 500 tons of Rock came crashing down blocking the path, They left the debris there but now have natural stairs that take you over the debris field.

This is what it looked like in 2001 before the collapse...and before digital and HDR Photography

Yep, and sometimes Black & White...Owns

Maybe...it is I

Well, thought I would go shoot the meteor shower, then I realized I had no clue how to shoot a meteor shower. So after 3 hours and 6 15 Minute exposures...I got two teeny Tiny meteorites, even though I saw about 25

Can you find them in these images?

Or this one?

Then the moon came up and ruined it all

So I just shot some tailights]

Oh well, always next year.

Wow these images don't make it small. Time for a new Blog

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM PCTOOLS

2009-07-26T23:42:00Z

Do not buy anything from PC tools.

Such as Registry Mechanic, or Spyware Doctor or Pc Tools Anti virus. The company is a total rip-off and uses deceitful and unfair business practices!!!

4 Years ago I purchased Registry Mechanic from PC Tools. It is a minimally if at all effective software. I paid $29.95 for a one year Licence for it. I have been billed $29.95 for 4 Years now. Automatically Billed to my Credit card without notice. The first year I let it go. Last year I took action.

They tell you that (in the small print) yes you bought a one year licence but when you did that you agreed to automatic renewals every year, billed to your credit card. In order for this to stop, you must log into your account and deactivate the subscription. So you go into your account (if you even know what your account login is) and after you search around forever you find the way to deactivate it and you think you are done...BUT NOOOO... if you read close you will see that once you deactivate it, you have to wait for a confirmation email and click on a link to confirm the deactivation.

BUT, of course the email never comes and in 7 days you account is reactivated. It took me asking 4 extra times for that email for it to show up and then It finally says that my account was set not to auto renew. BUT I did this all last year and this year I still got Billed to my credit card. Of course they never send you anything before they bill you so you can cancel BEFORE they bill you. Again a Deceitful Practice.
Now I could take the time to get my $29.95...But I think my time is better spent on the Internet and using the power of google!

and Plus I get to say this. FUCK YOU PC TOOLS YOU FUCKING DOUCHE BAGS!

yeah, well worth $29.95...and I will keep re-posting this till they send me my 3 payments of $29.95 for deceitful Business Practices.

PCTools sucks, PCtools is a Ripoff, PCTools bad business practices, Spyware Doctor is a rip off, Registry Mechanic is a rip off, Pc tools anti virus is a rip off. PC Tools Bad, I hate PC Tools, PC Tools Unfair, Registry Mechanic sucks.
