I was given your name by a friend (DCPHP member) who attended one of your talks at Fathom Creative. He thought you may be able to help in my current situation.

I’m a graphic design freelancer who’s client is refusing to pay. We have a signed contract & on 4 separate occasions over the past 3 months I have sent the client the invoice stating that payment is overdue. Recently, I have come to find that the client is using the work on such social media sites as Facebook & Groupon, as well as using the work for other elements in her business (A-frames, business cards, etc.)

My question is do I need to get representation or could I defend myself in small claims court? I’m currently looking into filing a small claim but I think I deserve a portion of the profits she made off of her Groupon deal (that went to the entire Baltimore subscribers) plus the money she owes me for the work I’ve done. Do you have any advice?

Comment on Draft NSTIC Request by Jim Babka

Presently…
“A policy of this magnitude should be given at least a 90 day public comment period. However, public discussion has been limited and the discussion period is almost over. Therefore, we request that the public comment period be extended for at least 30 days to facilitate more robust public discussion. We also request that subsequent public comment periods on this topic extend for at least 90 days.”

Much better, if…
“A policy of this magnitude should be given at least a 90 day public comment period. However, public discussion has been limited and the discussion period is almost over. Therefore, we request that the public comment period be extended to at least 90 days.”

Do we have final language for a letter?

Thanks for all the work in pulling together a letter!

If you do a search on my blogsite BeatTheChip.org by punching in NSTIC, you can find my writings on the subject.

I like the ask for at least 90 days for the public to gather an opinion amid the public and private industry

Here’s some populist language:

* Up to 52 million American users online could be affected by NSTIC

* We feel the comparatively small number of responses (65) from the US population on NSTIC gathered by the July 19th deadline is not enough to truthfully establish a critical mass awareness or to generate an educated response to the new national online identity program.

The White House and Department of Homeland Security have recently released a public draft of the National Strategy for Trusted Identity in Cyberspace (NSTIC). The NSTIC outlines an ambitious identity management strategy for the United States, but public discussion has been extremely limited. The NSTIC is a very significant policy document which may have an impact on internet commerce, online speech, identity management, identity trust frameworks, and online anonymity. We, the undersigned, are concerned that the current public comment period is insufficient for a policy document of this magnitude and request an extension of the public comment period in order to pursue public dialog.
A policy of this magnitude should be given at least a 90 day public comment period. We understand, however, that the policy is under time pressure. Therefore, we request that the public comment period be extended for at least 30 days to facilitate more robust public discussion. We also request that subsequent public comment periods on this topic extend for at least 90 days.
We are concerned that the NSTIC is silent on an implementation timeline and other significant details currently missing from the draft. We request clarification on the agency’s proposed timeline and process. We also request an opportunity to convene an in-person discussion with an appropriate White House or DHS official to discuss this important matter and engage in further public discussion.
We look forward to supporting your efforts to engage a robust public discussion on the NSTIC.

Looks like some basic typos in the first paragraph:

Benjamin : The symptoms you describe are typical of a faulty electronic component. Get it changed before it dies totally (and your guarantee expires!) I had one where, when switched to Guitar (and only when switched to Guitar), the input would click when the green Signal lamp switched on and off. I have read of people having several unrelated problems with the Mk2. I wonder if the quality control has slipped?

I have the exact same problem that Benjamin had, however, MY US-144 is NOT under warranty ><

I just ordered one. I can’t imagine the hassle of sitting on it with wires connected and all, but then I remembered the coffee cup warmer my wife bought that was never hot enough to keep the coffee warm. It at least ought to be able to keep.

I had seen wrote in his record misinformation about my medical history which was then trasmitted to MIB. This was totallly misconstrued extrapolated baloney which the office has since written a letter retracting.

I loved your letter, but am amazed that you were put in a position to have to write such a letter!! I noticed that you have no breaking news on your webpage, and you certainly do have breaking news! You passed your freaking Bar Exam! That is very breaking news!
love you,

If you’re looking for a music store with REALLY GOOD customer service, try N’Stuff Music. I buy all my gear there, and the guys are very helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, they’re a family-owned local business, not a giant like sweetwater & guitar center.

Very interesting. I have a question about privacy. Kind of. Our next door neighbors have been harassing us for the past three years. Their latestic antic was to turn us in a drug dealers, meth manufacturers to the County Task Force. Two detectives came last week to search our house. I let them do so without a warrant but felt very violated because none who knows us would ever accuse us of such a thing. The fact is that the neighbors made everything up, intentionally, to harass us. Now it is on record that our home was searched by the Drug Task Force. I think that the Task Force needs to hold our neighbors accountable for intetionaly giving out false information. Rather than stealing our identity, they are ruining it. Can anything be done?

In spite of everything, and due to my budget, I just ordered one. I can’t imagine the hassle of sitting on it with wires connected and all, but then I remembered the coffee cup warmer my wife bought that was never hot enough to keep the coffee warm. It at least ought to be able to keep the MkII above 65 degrees! My Lexicon Alpha was just too slow and noisy to stand anymore.
