The Bumpy, Impolite and Offensive Campaign of Carl Paladino
The first time Carl Paladino met his wife, she threw a beer in his face.
It was Mr. Paladino's junior year at St. Bonaventure's University in Buffalo, and during one celebratory weekend, he was hanging out in a local bar before a dance later that evening.
Here's how Mr. Paladino tells it.
"Somebody says 'This is Cathy Hannon,' and I made a crude remark about one of her relatives who I knew from the city. I made a crude remark and she threw a beer on me, and that was the end of that discussion," he said.
Mr. Paladino eventually left. Later that night, he met up with a friend who had arranged a blind date. Mr. Paladino's companion that night – Kathy Hannon.
"She forgave me," he said. The two have been married for forty years.
As Mr. Paladino's launches into the final week of the Republican primary for governor, his penchant for abrasive, off-the-cuff remarks has not abated.
He's described State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver as "Hitler" and the "anti-Christ." As part of a job training program, Mr. Paladino proposed teaching welfare recipients about "personal hygiene."
Mr. Paladino's complete disregard for the traditional niceties of electioneering is a marked contrast to the man he's trying to defeat in the Republican primary, former Rep. Rick Lazio of Long Island. Critics, and even some supporters, describe Mr. Lazio as a sincere, but not passionate, candidate.
Passion is not lacking in candidate Paladino.
Even when discussing the collection of sillybands on his arm, Mr. Paladino grows animated.
"That's a star. That's a dollar sign. That's a dog. And that's a cloud," Mr. Paladino said, walking down the street in Mineola one recent afternoon. "I had to change with one of [my daughter's] friends the other day - when one of her friends asks to exchange, you got to take what they give ya and give them what they want. So, she took my ice cream cone and she gave me this stinkin' dollar sign which I really don't like."
The real brunt of Mr. Paladino's anger is reserved for what he calls the "political ruling class" of both parties. To rescue New Yorkers from New York politicians, Mr. Paladino said he's put together a no-holds barred campaign team. The commercial real estate developer put $10 million of his own money behind the effort, and he's courted a team of aides known for their eccentricities as much as for their talents.
In late March, when Mr. Paladino decided to run, he got in touch with a political operative who was from his hometown of Buffalo but who had worked on campaigns all over the world: Michael Caputo.
Mr. Caputo had been in semi-retirement, living for a while on a tugboat in Key West, Florida. Caputo's political work has taken him around the world. He has worked a few campaigns in Russia, and, as he tells it, buried a few friends, because of campaigns in Russia.
Mr. Caputo had moved back to Buffalo to take over his family's insurance company when Mr. Paladino came calling. Mr. Caputo received the call – on his birthday – and came out of retirement.
"Getting on this campaign is the first time I put on a suit in five years. And none of them fit," Mr. Caputo said in Mineola. "None of them fit. Moving back to Buffalo is the first time I put on shoes in four years."
To go with the new suits: a pair of black cufflinks, with a skull and bones on them. As far as Mr. Paladino is concerned, the floating domicile is the least surprising part of his campaign manager's resume.
"What did you think when you heard this guy was living on a tug-boat in Florida?" I asked Mr. Paladino.
"If you think that's strange, wait until you hear the rest of the story," he chuckled. "We're talking one day - somebody's reading the newspaper and somebody says 'Did you see this little airplane crash?' And out of the clear blue sky, he says, 'I was in a plane crash once - in Siberia.' "
Yes, Siberia.
To help Mr. Paladino recall the story, because it's just that good, another campaign aide - John Haggerty - steps in.
"He drops stuff like this - it's like he's Forrest Gump," Mr. Haggerty says, smiling. Mimicking both sides of a conversation with his adventurous colleague, Mr. Haggerty adds, "Yeah, I was in an emergency landing in Siberia. Emergency landing? Oh yeah, the front of the plane broke off –"
Mr. Paladino jumps in with the final part of Mr. Caputo's anecdote.
"And they were surrounded by wolves. And all they could see was the whites of their eyes. And the helicopter pilot says 'Boy, you guys got out of there just in time'" he said.
"And I'm saying, 'are you kidding me?' "
Mr. Caputo politely notes that, technically, it wasn't a plane crash.
Mr. Caputo is not the only one who has had a bumpy ride. Mr. Haggerty – a cherub-faced, quick-smiling Republican operative ran the ballot-protection program for Mayor Bloomberg's re-election campaign last year. After the smaller-then-expected victory, Mr. Haggerty was accused of pocketing nearly $750,000 in payments from the campaign and not providing anything in return.
Then there's Roger Stone, a friend of Paladino who put him in touch with Mr. Caputo.
Mr. Stone has a tattoo on his back of Richard Nixon's face and led the so-called Brooks Brother's riot that shut down the 2000 presidential recount in Florida. In 2007, he was forced to resign from his post as a political consultant to Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno following allegations that he left a profanity-laced voicemail message for Eliot Spitzer's father, but Stone still says the recording was not real.
And my favorite: In order to prove he leaked damaging information about Mr. Spitzer's liaison with a prostitute, Stone agreed to be interviewed by a magazine reporter in the same location where Mr. Stone said he first leaned about the information: inside a Florida sex club.
These guys don't care what people think about them. And that's how Mr. Paladino likes it.
"I don't want to be anybody's friend. I don't have to be anybody's friend," he said, during a wide-ranging interview. "It doesn't make me more comfortable than I already am. I don't seek money. I don't seek power. I don't seek praise or pats on the back."
The 54-year-old real estate developer said he was sitting in his office in Buffalo earlier this year when a young candidate walked into his office.
Mr. Paladino recalled the meeting. "We talked for an hour. At the end of the hour, I thanked him, I showed him to the door, I came back and sat down. I don't have a word for this. I look at my son Bill, and Bill goes..."
Mr. Paladino hunched his shoulders, threw his hands up and twisted his face into a question mark.
"I don't know what the word would be, but it's Italian for 'what the $@! is this?' " Mr. Paladino said.
The candidate who had just left Mr. Paladino dumbfounded: Rick Lazio
Mr. Lazio was, by that time, running for governor with the support or former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and a portion of the local Republican establishment. When he came to Buffalo, Mr. Lazio was hoping to get Mr. Paladino's money. He got Mr. Paladino's candidacy, instead.
The two couldn't be more different. Mr. Lazio served four terms in congress
If it's considered poor etiquette for a donor to launch a campaign because of an uninspiring meeting with a politician, Mr. Paladino is not concerned.
The way Paladino sees it, Democrats and Republicans have both been complicit in perpetuating the state's problems. Special interest groups pressure lawmakers, who respond by giving away state money. To pay for the giveaways, lawmakers raise taxes on businesses, who, in recent years, have laid people off, or moved out of state.
Lawmakers, according to Mr. Paladino, never cut spending.
"Two hundred and ninety-eight thousand three hundred and forty-one employees, they couldn't fine one employee to lay off in this budget crisis?" he asked. "They raised our taxes last year ten point nine billion dollars. They raised it this year five point one billion dollars."
The key to Mr. Paladino's strategy for cutting state spending is to shrink the size of government. He'll give the legislature a bare-bones budget, and when they try to increase spending, he says he'll just stare them down. And they'll buckle.
He says there's no chance lawmakers will unite and overpower him in a budget fight.
"To override my veto, they got to get…two thirds, plus one," he said, referring to the 212 legislators in the New York State State Assembly and State Senate. "As long as I have one third plus one in the Senate, and I'll probably also have in the Assembly, it's over. That's it. It's the end of it. That's the budget."
How he can be sure lawmakers in his corner won't bolt during the budget fight, like they did in the waning days of Republican Governor George Pataki's tenure?
"I have a Republican Senate. They're going to do what I tell them to do," Mr. Paladino deadpanned. "And let somebody try to stray - and I'll wreck 'em. I'll ruin 'em."
This kind of tough talk is exactly what some voters are looking for.
"I'm definitely upset with the way politics have gone and the way taxes have gone. I'm just not happy with it. It keeps going further," says retired Army veteran Anthony Phillips, who donated $50 to Mr. Paladino's campaign.
Before Paladino can harness public anger into electoral power, he has some questions of his own to answer. Like, why he forwarded a number of explicit emails to his friends
How explicit?
Lets just say, one shows President Obama in an gold chain; another shows a woman with a horse. My editor won't let me get more specific than that.
Lesser offenses have derailed other politicians. But Mr. Paladino and his gang forge ahead.
"My humor is irrelevant to my temperament. If you go and Google me, you're going to see what Carl Paladino is about. And sure, I'm not perfect. And sure, I'm not human," he said, before correcting himself. "I'm human, forgive me - hahaha. I'm human. I've had my careless moments. I didn't think twice about sending to my friends a bunch of obscene emails.
"But, I apologized. I apologized to the people that were offended. People that I meet since that thing first became public, they're interested in the high crimes and misdemeanors of Albany, They could give a hell about Carl Paladino and his emails."
Despite the offensive emails, and lack of name recognition, Mr. Paladino could win the primary. Voter anger and an increasingly-organized Tea Party apparatus has propelled a number of angry, outsider, anti-establishment candidates like Mr. Paladino.
"If he spend his resources properly, he could easily be the nominee," says Ed Rollins, who worked as Ronald Reagan's top political adviser in the White House and has stayed neutral in the gubernatorial race. (He doesn't give Mr. Paladino, or his opponent Mr Lazio, a chance of beating Democratic nominee Andrew Cuomo in November.)
Should he make it to the general election, Democrats are sure to remind voters of Mr. Paladino's emails. But that, in itself, would be a victory of sorts for Mr. Paladino, whose entrance in to the race was greeted with a mixture of laughter and disbelief.
Recent polling shows Mr. Paladino within ten or twelve points of Mr. Lazio. And one hugely influential voice in New York Republican politics, the New York Post, has not endorsed either Republican gubernatorial candidate yet.
The Post has criticized Mr. Lazio for focusing too much on the controversy over building an Islamic center two blocks north of Ground Zero and not enough on the state's more pressing problems.
And, the tension between Mr. Lazio and the paper's state editor, Fred Dicker, burst into public view Tuesday morning during Mr. Dicker's closely-watched radio program.
As Mr. Dicker interviewed Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Cuomo, Mr. Lazio and an aide called into the program. Mr. Dicker then told his listeners that "I've tried for months to get Rick Lazio on the show" and now "Lazio is trying to cut into the show."
Mr. Dicker described the maneuver as a "sneak attack" and told listeners, "I said thanks but no thanks." Listeners never heard from Mr. Lazio.
Later, Mr. Lazio's campaign spokesman went onto Twitter, and referred to Mr. Dicker as a "Cuomo apologist."
About a week before Mr. Lazio and Mr. Dicker's spat, Mr. Paladino went in for an editorial board meeting with the New York Post. Walking out of their offices on Avenue of the Americas, Mr. Paladino said he felt he gave a good presentation, but the editorial board was hard to read.
"I think we impressed everybody in the room, except the guy to my right," Mr. Paladino said. "He did not change his facial expression through the whole meeting."
Mr. Paladino and his campaign manager Mr. Caputo, said things grew difficult when a certain reporter starting asking detailed questions.
"She's one of the toughest political reporters in the state," Mr. Caputo said.
"The little dark-haired one I gave the thing to?" Mr. Paladino asked.
"Right," said Mr. Caputo. "Jennifer," referring to the New York Post's Jennifer Fermino.
Mr. Paladino nodded, and explained to me, "I gave her a sillyband. Because she didn't have any. My daughter said, you're not cool if you don't have one of these."
They gave me one too.
Then, Mr. Paladino and Mr. Caputo drove to JFK airport and caught a flight to Buffalo for another meeting with another group of potential supporters: a motorcycle club.

Hugo Chavez assumed power in Venezuela with a unique opportunity to transform his nation into one in which a small group of wealthy people could no longer assert power into one in which all classes shared in governing the nation. However, his blind ambition for power and egocentric approach to leadership has created a sharp division within the country. In the latest elections, Chavez and his allies won most regional elections, but suffered losses in key areas such as Caracas, the capital. The opposition which consists of several parties increased its power base from two to five states including the populous and economically important Carabobo,Zulia, and Miranda. It not only captured the city hall of Caracas but also won a majority in some major slum areas.
Chavez insists the election is a mandate for socialism even though a significant portion of the population opposes that move. As one who believes in socialist principles, it is important in moving toward a socialist society to work with all segments of the population. Chavez has lost confidence of many young people including college students. Perhaps, it is time for a step back and a focus on developing and protecting democratic principles.

Cannabis tea?
(Before i get in to this subject any further this is in no way supporting or opposing the use of the substance and the topic itself is out of shear curiosity and reflections during travels).
Cannabis. The word conjures up images of the 70s, the counter culture and current users aiming to find "spirituality" or merely to get high. Those who have been adventurous enough to see the cannibis culture have found the plant Cannabis to be as versitile as it is "useful" for everyday living. Products such as hemp fibers, cloths, ropes and oils, from strains of indica and sativa enjoyed by conneiseurs of "bud" have certainly enjoiyed this plant in more ways than inhaling THC!
As the topic points out, Cannabis tea and the like have been concocted in order to "capture the essence of the herb without any undue guilt" by inhaling. Users have been found to use the regular brewing methods of tea with but an added twist: Butter! The cannabis plant main chemical: Tetra-hydro-cannabinol is fat soluable and therefore more likely to released in vast quantities at levels higher than when smoked. The resulting brew when orally taken induces a "bodily high" and a relaxed sensations to users with "limited effects" of the mental state. This allows a cannabis users to experience the" full beauty of heaven" and "meditation" without the numbing the conscience state normally associated with smoking the cannibis.
This method has also been used as a form of religious induction to "meet "or "experience the gods". My travels into India has users drinking Bhang Lassi and no its not the yogurt drink with mangoes but a yogurt drink with hemp! Its specially made by government regulated and controlled Bhang shops and available only in the months where Holi is celebrated as a part of the customs with Hinduism. Holi a holiday which celebrates the sons of greater god Vishnu upon killing the demon holika. The celebration follows lighting of bonfires, devotees throwing colored water and powders at each other and some drinking Bhang Lassi!
wow that sounds interesting. Too bad it isn't available in Canada, especially for those who have terminal illnesses :)
the world is an interesting place…..
That does sound interesting, I wont lie i have used cannabis and i have made cannabis butter for recipes and i must say it is awesome, i have also made plenty of teas that use butter and they were also awesome, i have never made tea with cannabis butter however i could only image that it would be double awesome. Too bad its illegal here
weird how certain substances are illegal and other are not huh? But that sound of butter tea sure sounds like it tastes good! A savory sweet concoction kinda like Lapsang.
Butter Teas are wonderfull and you can make them sweet or savory. i'll have to try one with Lapsang now lol
hmm Smokey? makes sense lol!
I once made cannabis tea using Rishi's masala chai and olive oil. I just brewed the tea like I normally would, mixed the brewed tea, finely ground cannabis, and a tablespoon of olive oil in a thermos and let it sit for an hour and a half and shook it every now and then. The final product was delicious and produced extremely calming and peaceful effects that lasted the whole day. It was a simple way to enjoy my two favorite plants. (I am not endorsing or condoning the use of cannabis, what is good for me may not be good for others. I do however believe in the individual's right to choose what they do in the privacy of their own home so long as it is responsible and not harmful to others in any way).
greatly put kwinter! Moderation and responsibility is the best policy!
… legally … (no problem;)
Edit 23/01/2012
are you for real? it is illegal to have a plant in all 3 places :)
Yes, indeed! Any idea..?
I guess if there are any "medical shops"or dispensaries around you can buy at your leisure…
… liberal … (no problem;)
Edit 23/01/2012
i think you are on your own there, this is a tea site not a cannabis site, sorry guy
I live in the Netherlands in a city called Groningen to be precise, of course i have used Cannabis or ''wiet'' like we call it in the Netherlands :), i must say here in the Netherlands its not that big of a deal. I have never made Cannabistea though, does it taste good, and do you mix it with other herbs or tea's i am?
like tea, its practically up to the user's preference.
Would you send me an email, please. You will find the address in my profile (website link).
[Unfortunately it is not possible to send a PM here.]
Thanks Uniquity!
(I understood it this way too, but…)
I think it will be much better if it would be possible to send an initial PM to make the contact. (Because how should the other know…?)
I'll allow the discussion of general cannabis tea for now. But I need to draw the line at asking where you can get find some and will have to remove the thread if that continues, sorry.
remember posters and posters to be: General discussion not concerning how to receive the stuff! otherwise the party is over!

Driver "spinning doughnuts" hits wall at magnet school
December 17, 2012
A large white truck or SUV is suspected in a Friday crash at Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School that took out the front wall of a kindergarten classroom.
About 9:30 p.m. someone was "spinning doughnuts" in the school's back field and parking lot when the driver apparently lost control and slammed into the building, causing extensive damage, according to an email from magnet school secretary Monique Truszewski.
Maintenance personnel are constructing a new wall and students were expected to be able to use the classroom Monday with the help of electric heating, according to the email.
The school plans to add barriers in front of the school to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Truszewski asks anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact California Highway Patrol at 530-577-1001.

"When outfitted at Morris one actually looked like the Duke of Windsor at a garden party or Roger Moore's The Saint." So tells the story of Morris the "legendary men's shop" which took up residence in central Stockhom from 1949 to the early 1970s. Well the latest collection form Morris Stockholm – the modern brand rather than an outfitters it takes its name from – could be described in much the same way. The fall 2012 look book takes you on a dreamy trip to somewhere that might be an English country manor some time in the early half of the 20th century. Where and when exactly doesn't matter: it's all about the mood.
Crested blazers have an aura of classic prep. Colours are autumnal, from burnt oranges and earthy browns to the midnight blue which takes the place of black. But if there's one thing in particular to take inspiration from as you start to delve further into fall 2012 dressing its the smart and on-trend examples of layering.
From turtlenecks layered under scarves and classic two-button suit jackets, to layerings of shirts and ties under soft cable knits, there's no shortage of looks to be inspired by as the weather turns.
Featuring Danny Beauchamp and Sam Way, the full look book from Morris Stockholm can be seen by clicking on the thumbnails.

:: This is the Tatler Schools Guide 2011, for the Tatler Schools
Guide 2014, please click HERE.
Where to start with the complicated business of choosing the
right school for your child? Right here, with Tatler's definitive
guide to the very best in private education: the top 230 prep and
public schools in the UK. An intrepid team of researchers has
grilled headteachers, quizzed pupils, spied on sports days and
forensically examined those all-important stats. At a time when
financial morale is mixed, deciding where to dish out those
hard-earned school fees seems a greater dilemma than ever. And -
just to spice things up - across the independent sector change is
in the air. This year has seen prep-school heads swapping places
with each other in a complicated game of musical chairs. More and
more boys' public schools are succumbing to co-education, with
mixed results, but the last stubborn bastions of all-boys,
all-boarding tradition are going from strength to strength, perhaps
buoyed up by the knowledge that so many of their alumni are
currently tramping up and down the corridors of power. The great
sixth-form debate roars on, with some championing IB, others opting
for Pre-U and yet more sticking firmly with the old-guard A-levels,
despite the controversial introduction of an A* grade. To top it
all off, the spectre of the Charities Commission looms large: just
look at the flurry of fundraising activity and bursary beetling,
and with fees at certain schools threatening to top the
£30,000-a-year mark, many parents must feel that charity should
begin at home. Then there's the ever-increasing gap between those
eligible for financial support and those who can afford the
whopping termly payout - what will happen to middle-class parents
who fall in the middle? It's an educational jungle out there.
Tatler's seventh annual Schools Guide, bursting with insight and
up-to-the-minute insider information, points you in the right

Take out the colouring powder in a plastic bowl and add 6-7 tablespoons or approx. 35 cc. water in it to make the paste. Make the paste so thick that it can be easily and gently applied on hair. Apply this paste on hair with a brush. Comb the hair after five minutes so that the paste should reach in the roots of hair. If any whiteness is observed apply more paste on that portion. Ensure that the paste is completely applied on hair. Wash the hair after 30 minutes of application with water. Later on wash with soap or shampoo, as you like.
There are two tests, viz. - strand test & hypersensitivity that can be done to check the particular shade of colour and whether the colour is suitable for a particular skin or not. The details of these tests are given below -
Strand Test
Strand Test should be performed as to preview the actual effect of a particular shade. Select some area of grey (white) hair. Prepare a small quantity of mixture, apply it and wash after 30 minutes to see the result. As per results you may leave the colourant for more than 30 minutes to get darker shade of a particular colour.
Hypersensitivity Test
Clean and wash a small area of the skin behind the ear or upon the inner surface of the forearm using soap and water. Prepare a small quantity of paste, apply to the area and allow it to dry. After 24 hours wash the area with water. If no irritation, itching, reddening, swelling or inflammation is experienced in or around the test area, it may be assumed that no hypersensitivity to the colourant exists.
Safety Instructions
While using herbal hair colours, we advise our clients to follow certain safety instructions that are mentioned below -
- colour should be kept away from direct sunlight & preferably in a dark place.
- The packet of colour should be opened only when ready to use.
- The colour should be mixed only in a plastic or glass bowl and not metal bowl.
- The paste should be applied with the application brush.
- Paste should be used immediately after preparation, (within 4-5 minutes) other wise it may not be effective
- Take proper care to ensure that colour solution does not go into your eyes.
- The preparation should not be used for dying eyebrows or eyelashes as severe inflammation of eye may result. In case the paste gets into eyes, the same should be rinsed immediately.

Eating disorders affect 25 million people
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The National Eating Disorders Association kicks off its annual awareness week. Nearly 25 million people in the United States suffer from eating disorders.
There's a common misconception that eating disorders are about food. In the beginning, it usually is about weight loss, but as the disorder progresses it becomes less about food and more about control.
From magazine covers to food labels, society makes it clear that thin is in vogue.
"You see the models and actresses and everyone looks up to them and says 'oh they're so beautiful' so you're kind of like, well I want to be like that. I want to be that pretty and that thin and so you feel like you have to look like that in order to be accepted," said Rigby High School senior Rachel Barrus.
Junior at RHS, Alyssa Miller said she has friends who have eating disorder, but even as she sees them suffer, Miller said she relates to the pressure to be thin. "You're always going want to be smaller, well not always, but a lot of girls do, like I feel like that all the time, I just want to be small and pretty," said Miller.
Eliza Shippen, a basketball player and track runner admits as soon as she hit high school, body image hit her mind.
"I see other girls walking around the halls and I think maybe I want to be as skinny. Maybe I want to be as pretty as them, but I had a conversation with my mother and she helps me feel better and feel more beautiful about myself," said Shippen.
Dr. LaVonna Patterson said parents play a major role in establishing a healthy body image.
"The sooner the parent recognizes it and does something about it, the sooner it ends," said Patterson.
Early signs of eating disorders include; sudden weight loss, avoiding meals, over exercising, isolating, and changes to behavior.
"Unfortunately what happens with the eating disorder is that it becomes a part of who they are. They don't want to give that up, they don't think that's a problem," said Patterson.
Eating disorders don't just affect girls, 10-15 percent of people with anorexia or bulimia are men. BYU-Idaho senior David Hanna said eating disorders run in his family. Even though he was familiar with the dangers of eating disorders, being teased at school added to his negative body image. By the time he reached high school he spent several hours a day at the gym, ate very little and dropped 40 pounds within one month.
"I had the mentality that I'm weird because that I'm going through it and that if I ever told anyone, another guy, they would be like 'what's wrong with you dude?' This isn't just something that's specific to girls," said Hanna.
He suffered with a combination of anorexia and bulimia classified as Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). Through the support of family and friends Hanna realized his options were to get healthy with the help of his family or check into a treatment center.
Slowly, with the help of his mother and brother Hanna was able to get healthier. He admits, he is still self conscious and sometimes thoughts about being thinner or going back to eating disorder behaviors cross his mind.
"Know that you're important regardless of what your weight is," said Hanna.
"Everyone's beautiful they just need someone to tell them that and help them get through it," said Barrus.
Treatment for eating disorders can be very challenging. Clinical criteria for anorexia and bulimia is often very difficult to meet, regardless of how serious an eating disorder is. EDNOS is one of the most common type of eating disorders, but many insurance companies don't recognize it and therefore won't pay for treatment. Treatment centers for eating disorders can cost up to $30,000,
a day.
Recovery from eating disorders is often a very long and difficult process. Serious health problems from eating disorders include heart problems, dental problems, osteoporosis and death.

They make a back pack and a jacket too, the jacket is pretty awesome, they have them on ebay, VERY expensive though.
I saw them on here a while back. Have not been able to find them for sale anywhere. Thanks. Getting a pair now.
Those would be awesome for a "retro 80s" version of Fett. Run DMC would be proud...
yeah but I absolutely refuse to pay $130 GD dollars for shoes. I don't care who's on it.
only size is 7.5 that bites.
There was a website in Germany that had all kinds of sizes but they were almost $250 U.S. Dollars. Sorry, I don't want them that bad.
not paying that either ,but would do the $130 if i could find my size
I actually was appointed by LFL in March, 2010, to be the Fett and other SW character technical advisor for this advertising campaign. Just so happens that the helmet, jetpack,knees, blaster, cape are all part of my Fett costume. I have additional photos of the entire shoot including the TK, Jabba, R2D2/3CPO sets but have been asked not to release the photos for another couple of weeks.
i saw that HMPO . may be in a thread on here . very cool ,hope i get to do something like that . fig i might get a chance probley being the only fett in mississippi . dout it would be anything that big. would still be cool if just local
I am sure being the only Fett is Ole Miss you are sure to get the calling for an event in the future. Particularly with the launch of Star Tours 2.0 3D in late APril/May there are going to be celebrations throughout the Country in conjunction with Disney. So keep hunting and wait fro them to call you up! Have fun
I got mine from soleboutique.com. They have 9, 9.5 and 10.5 left.
they are cool, im hoping christmas brings me a pair!!
When I first saw the advertisement for these, I was amazed.
Then they came out, I saw the price tag, and my heart broke.
Just like everything Fett, it is expensive and probably to be expected.
these are mine with one month of use...
great idea for sure...but with a size 15 shoe , there's not much chance of getting a pair. my son has all the SW related " little boy" shoes. I am waiting for someone to put a little backpack on the heel

To Do List
We are now in a mode of completing the core of ASL (defined to be roughly the libraries which make of the property model and layout libraries as well as anything which is complete enough to warrant inclusion).
To that end, we are reviewing all of the libraries and for each one determining:
- Is it used and/or useful and worth being completed. If not it will either be removed all together or partitioned into the platform libraries for later consideration.
- What is necessary to complete the space to create a completed body of work.
We are working to restructure the documentation to include the "final" set of libraries and to flesh out the documentation, test cases, and in some cases, the code.
- The get_value() functions are poorly named and could be generalized to work with any indexed container.
- consider lookup() or value_at() as more appropriate names.
- Break this up a bit - we have a container and string based algorithms.
- Factor out a guarded vector (a vector with a sentinel) as a base type for string_t and string16_t
- Add algorithms for guarded ranges (a range specified by a single iterator and a sentinel)
- should include an end_guarded() and size_guarded() functions - use these instead of the boost range functions when dealing with NTBS
- every file where we shadow the std functions should go ahead and move the std function into the adobe namespace.
Non-Mutating Algorithms
- Order Selection Networks -
- [low priority] consider completing select.hpp to some k elements.
- [low priority] consider adding sorting networks (sort_2, sort_3, etc.)
- [done] Removed bound_if - replaced with key_function form of lower/upper_bound.
Write a proper partition() (ordering and for forward iterator), partition_point_n(), and is_partitioned.
non_strict_order_partition(range, element, strict_weak_ordering) arranges it so that elements are not greater followed by elements which are not less.
- [done] Pull count_min/max_element. Replace with two passes - max_element(), count().
Binary searches
Write a better binary_search which returns lower_bound() if exists else last.
Write an adaptor for is_in_sorted_range - set_member?
find_first_of_set() - becomes find_if with adaptor.
We should try to adapt binary search algorithms such as upper bound and lower bound to work on sets and multisets.
Finding and Counting
- [done] rename find_not_equal to find_not.
Extending find() - also provide find_not() and count_if_not() and count_not(). exists, none, all?
Check what other adobe/STL algorithms take unary predicates (partition_not?).
Versions of find and count need to take a binary predicate - see find_match().
And find_n(), count_n() for all versions.
Versions of for_each for_each_value() - rename of for_each_position() for_each_value_n() for_each_n()
Sorting Group is_sorted sorted() rename to sorted_run()
mismatch() gets grouped with equal() and search() Add mismatch_n().
Look at reduce accumulate and related functions - do we keepr reduce_balanced()?
Mutating Algorithms
-- copy family
Try to simply use the name copy() for copy_bound() - etc.
Add bounded forms of other functions, i.e. swap_ranges.
Also applies to find and count
copy I I 0 copy_b I I F F copy_n I n O copy_b I I O n copy_b I n F F copy_b I F F
I I n F F
--- tranform_if replaces filter by splitting the function object.
Also add _if forms for other functions.
Also have copy_if and copy_if_not (as replacement of remove). --- Explore iota and fit more into the copy notation.
With a value for increment - ---
It looks like remove_runs and mutate_runs are not used - remove them.
Add a reverse group and add reverse_until.
Remove the pair return from rotate and simply return m'
(notes from conversation about removing get_value() from dictionary.hpp and providing a generalized form).
So - current summary and action items: 1) get_value() in dictionary.hpp becomes deprecated next release (hmm - move to a deprecated namespace?) in favor of new algorithms. 3:38 PM 2) We add: I find_at(I f, I l, const T&, P); [along with all range variants and specialize for associative containers - P defaults to identity if value_type(I) == P) otherwise P defaults to get_element<0> (or whatever the name is in adobe/functional.hpp) 3) consider that get_element<0> should have a default implementation of identity to normalize the case. 4) similarly provide find_value_at() and assign_at()
U& find_value_at(I, I, T, P); I assign_at(I, I, T, U&, P);
5) review exisiting find() algorithms to see which it would also make sense to refine for containers (i.e. find() ) 6) Add an is_associative_container<> trait so we can automatically pick up new ASL containers and can be made to work with user containers.
Check to see which intrinsics (like multiply returning long result) are in C99

I've hunted the dakotas, and go on a couple trips to canada every year, but the dakotas are getting a little to crowded for a freelancer like myself. I like hunting smaller potholes and love field hunting for honkers, specs, snows, and of course mallards and pins. I was wondering if any of you would just have some general ideas on some good areas in your state with potholes and grainfields. Or if any of that even exists.
Thanks in advance!

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Limited Brands reported Wednesday that net income for the second quarter rose a better-than-expected 29% to $231.2 million, compared with $178.7 million in the year-ago period.
It cited strong full-price sales at Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works for the strong showing.
Revenue rose 10% to $2.46 billion, matching Wall Street expectations. Same-store sales rose 9%.
"Our focus on managing inventory and expenses conservatively and staying agile yielded more full-priced selling and record results," Leslie H. Wexner, Limited's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "As we enter the fall season, we will remain focused on our customers, and we see opportunity to continue to do better."

NH Catholics give $165,500 for Hurricane Sandy relief
January 16. 2013 11:12PM
Bishop Peter A. Libasci called for a special collection on Nov. 10-11, 2012, 11 days after the hurricane devastated communities from the Caribbean to the mid-Atlantic.
Funds collected will be distributed to Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Relief Services, and the Diocese of Rockville Center on Long Island.
Libasci said, "Like so many, I was shaken by the destruction in New Jersey, New York and on Long Island. Some of the areas affected were places where I grew up and where I served as a priest and bishop, so this disaster is particularly painful for me to witness. The people of New Hampshire are always quick to respond to a need, either here in our state or during times of disasters. I am so grateful to those who have come together to offer what they can to help rebuild. Your generosity and the power of your prayers are added to millions of others around the world and will make a real difference in the lives of those affected by Hurricane Sandy."

text: @Latino King You're kidding right? We are supposed to feel bad about losing a National championship game LAST YEAR to an incredible team like THAT? Seriously? I forgot...did U of M even make it to that tournament. If so, they didn't get past the first round. That's rich. Keep em' coming. Hint: I shouldn't be helping you, but it appears you really need it. If you want to get some shots at MSU, go with football...not basketball. Also, if you want to compare them to U of M and make U of M football look good, you'll need to go back more than one year. Anyhow, I am not sure what this has to do with your coach (I use the term "your coach" loosely, since I am almost sure you aren't on the team and I am reasonably certain you are not a U of M alum) violating NCAA rules according to some of his own players.

I posted a thread in the past asking about Buddhist social networking sites and a lot of you have mentioned there being a DhammaWheel Facebook page.
I hardly come online and it'd be very nice if to keep in touch with everyone, I'm sure other people are like that too and would agree.
So are any of you little Buddhas on Facebook or use email? Perhaps we can exchange Fb profiles here and PM our email addresses. Coming here and being part of this site really put some happiness into my life as well as Buddhism. I enjoy being part of your community and a lot of you have taught me many things and changed my laugh, you are like family to me and as most Buddhists say, fellow Buddhists are brothers and sisters to each other.

That too bad......maybe next time.
Couldn't get away to the gun show in San Antonio after all. Had things that wouldn't let me leave town. Soooo......no AR pistol in the near future. Probably a good thing as I don't really need another project right now. Someday.............
Well, don't know how far U are from Houston, but there is one there in Aug I believe.
I'll try to hit the Austin show later on this month or maybe the next S.A. show the first weekend of Aug. Probably be on another tangent by then. Who knows, maybe I need a P99.

Posts Tagged 'Carmel Bra by Panache'
All Things Bright And Beautiful
June 8th, 20120
We are now a week into June, don't they call it Flaming June? Try telling that to the passengers on The Royal Flotilla on Sunday, what a drenched state of affairs that was!
One reason why the rain is not all bad is that our gardens have never looked so good, lush and green plants and rainbows of amazing flowers. The Chelsea Flower Show have just closed their doors for another year and there were some amazing floral displays to be seen around London over the Jubilee Weekend. Coronation Street is even getting in on the act with last week's Weatherfield in Bloom flower competition.
Bravissimo also have brand new florals to boast about, so no matter what the weather is doing outside your window, you can bring some fabulous summer florals into your lingerie drawer.
The Oh So Kimono Bra by Bravissimo is a gorgeous vibrant bra that will definitely put a smile on your face on a grey day. It is an underwired lightly padded plunge and has been designed based on the same shape as Satine, which we know has been really popular with our ladies. It is available in aqua print, which is an oriental style floral. The satin fabric ensures that it is super comfortable to wear too.
The Maisie Bra by Bravissimo in white floral is such a pretty bra and is right on trend for this summer. It is available in this fun ditsy bright floral print with bright orange lace and orange flower details. It is based on the Poppy shape and is an underwired plunge. It will offer you fantastic support and uplift all summer long.
The Oriental Bloom Bra by Bravissimo is a great everyday bra, simple and so pretty with the embroidered pink placement flowers. Our ladies will love this bra for the incredible fit, as it is firm, offers great support and is really comfortable, it will also give you a lovely rounded shape. It is available in navy & pink and it is an underwired balconette.
The Carmel Bra by Panache, available in black, is sexy with a bright floral twist. It is a stunning bra with gorgeous botanical style floral embroidery in lime, purple and turquoise. It offers a comfortable fit and will become a firm favourite this summer.
Last, but not least is the Mai Blossom Bra by Bravissimo, this bra was such a hit last year, that it's back again in a different colourway. This set also has that oriental feel, with the warm colour contrast of red & mango, which is perfect for summer nights or holidays abroad. This bra offers great support and fit.

Comments about oreilly TextMate:
Visuals:The font size in the Pragmatic Programmers books is a little larger than say the O'Reilly books, which I personally like. Easy on the eyes. Screenshots are clearly printed.Readability:I found the reading style conversational and easy to follow. Of course, with this type of book which includes many keyboard short-cuts you really need to be at your computer and using them to commit them to memory. Even a reading of the book will give you insights into the power available at your finger tips with Textmate.Practicality:If you spend any amount of time in Textmate, this is really a no-brainer. This book will help you be more productive and get more out of your chosen text editing tool.Audience:The book does not list an intended target audience, but if you use Textmate at all I would say you have a bulls-eye right on you.Overall:If you use Textmate get this book.

James Edward Gray II has written a very accessible book, that covers the product very well.The first third of the book is devoted to the basics - things you do every day in your text editor. The second third of the book dives into the details of some really sweet features of TextMate that you'll find yourself using all the time: bundles, snippets, macros and UNIX shell commands.TextMate ships with over thirty 'bundles'. Each bundle is a directory of related files that provide additional functionality to TextMate. Let's say you're working on an HTML file. The HTML bundle will help you with loads of things related to your document: validate the syntax of the document, open the document in the default browser, refresh the document in the current browser session, insert open/close tags for the current word, strip all HTML tags from the document - just to name a few. Each bundle provides functionality that applies not only to the syntax of the language you're currently working with, but repetitive tasks that would apply as well.As I mentioned, a couple dozen bundles ship with TextMate and many more are available for free download from various websites. You can even create your own bundles to extend the product in ways that only you can imagine. Here are a few of the bundles that ship with TextMate: Blogging, CSS, HTML, Java, Markdown, Objective-C, Python, Rails, Ruby, SQL, Subversion, Text, Textile, Xcode and XML. Bundles provide you with lots of help editing files and performing related tasks.Snippets are a smart completion mechanism that go way beyond the simple concept of 'finish this word'. For example, if you are editing a Ruby file and you type array_object.ea followed by the TAB key (where 'array_object' is an arbitrary Array object), the snippet feature will automatically fill in the skeleton of the 'each' iterator, including the opening and closing curly braces, the text '|e|' with the letter 'e' highlighted. You simply type the name of the variable you want to represent the next element (or simply leave it as it is), hit the TAB key again and the cursor will be placed between the closing '|' character and the closing '}' character, ready for you to type in an expression. Very cool. This same trick works for dozens of different scenarios in your Ruby code. And that's just the snippets that apply to Ruby code. There are snippets that apply to a large number of file types.You've probably seen macros in other editors and TextMate's macro facility works as you might expect: you start recording a macro, perform some actions and save the macro. TextMate saves the macros as XML files, so it's a snap to edit a macro after recording if you need to tweak it a bit.The ability to fire off UNIX shell commands from within TextMate gives you another powerful tool to use while editing files. You can fire off one-liner shell commands by simply pressing the ^R key on a line containing a shell command. You can also use shell commands to act on all or part of the current document.For the advanced TextMate user, the tail end of the book shows you how to create your own language syntax for use in TextMate, including how to describe the grammar of the language in terms TextMate will understand. So, if you program in some far out funky language that TextMate doesn't support out of the box, you can add the language grammar to TextMate and program away!Overall, I found this book extremely useful and easy to read. TextMate ships with an excellent help system that will answer many of your questions. The TextMate Power Editing for the Mac book will take you beyond the built-in help and give you an in-depth guide for this great Mac application.

Much has been made in the news lately about Google Fiber finally hooking up Kansas City homes to its hotly-anticipated high speed network, but there are still lingering concerns about who will be left behind.
A survey this summer found that a quarter of Kansas Citians don't have broadband Internet access at home. While Google is offering free internet service for a $300 hook-up fee in those neighborhoods that are lucky enough to be part of its roll-out area, that still leaves huge swaths of the metro area without affordable service.
Now Time Warner Cable is getting in on the act by announcing, at a big press conference with both Kansas City Mayor's, a less than 10 dollar-a-month internet service intended for low income families living in nine area school districts.
Time Warner's $9.95-a-month plan will allow anyone with a child enrolled in any of these school districts and who's currently not a Time Warner customer to take advantage of the discount program.
You have until the end of January to apply. We'll acknowledge that if you don't have a computer, you won't be able to check there. Here's the telephone number in case you want to take advantage of this service: 1-855-746-8704.

The Music Department's Bachelor of Arts Program, accredited with the National Association of Schools of Music since 2006, presents the study of music as an integral part of a liberal arts education. Working closely with other departments in the University's nationally acclaimed Fulton School of Liberal Arts, the Music Department provides a wealth of musical opportunities for students of any major.
We strive to offer a diverse undergraduate program that enables students to grow as musicians. Our uniquely designed curriculum includes opportunities to study and perform music, not only within the European Classical tradition, but also in distinctively American genres such as Jazz, rock and pop, as well as music from other cultures.
The department accommodates the contemporary student who is seeking an understanding of music as part of a fundamental cultural education and the student who seeks a career as a professional musician, a music teacher or in the music industry. The department fosters a supportive "one-on-one" environment designed to enable students to gain admission to graduate programs and desirable musical appointments.
The degree program is divided into a menu of five "tracks." The tracks include Music Education, Vocal Performance, Instrumental Performance, Music Technology, and Traditional (Liberal Arts). The department also offers a minor in music.
The Department of Music has recently received accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Music. Accreditation is a process which periodically evaluates and produces an independent judgment by peers about the extent to which an institution or program achieves its own educational objectives and meets the standards established by an association. In practical terms, it is a stamp of approval; a sign that an institution ascribes to, believes in and has met an external set of basic criteria for the programs it offers. In some cases, accreditation assists in the transfer of credits from one institution to another. In all cases, it indicates that threshold standards are adhered to in a fashion that provides a base of academic strength and operational integrity.

| "I had such an awesome experience in the SU Music Department. Students, faculty and community members are all involved in making music alive on the Eastern Shore. The faculty are committed to education. I graduated two years ago and still keep in close contact with my professors. They never stop teaching."

Green Bay Tries to Tame Panthers
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's soccer team (4-9-1, 1-2-1 HL) will host the reigning Horizon League Champions on Friday, Oct. 19 when Milwaukee takes the short trip north to Green Bay and visits Aldo Santaga Stadium for a 7 p.m. matchup. The Phoenix will be looking for its first win since 2003 over the Panthers.
Green Bay is coming off what head coach Trevor Warren described as one of the best performances by his team this season, a 2-0 non-conference, home loss to Wisconsin on Oct. 8. Despite the outcome, Warren said the team's defense, comprised entirely of underclassmen, stepped up and played extremely well against a tough Big 10 team.
With 11 days off, the Phoenix has had time for two of its key players to recover from illness or injury. Freshman Sydney Born (Edina, Minn.) missed Green Bay's game against Wisconsin, as well as the team's 2-1 overtime victory over Youngstown State two days prior due to illness. Junior Renee Therrien (Winnipeg, Manitoba) suffered a broken nose early on in the game against Youngstown State on Oct. 6 and has since worn a face mask to prevent further injury.
Milwaukee (4-7-1, 3-2-0 HL) hops onto I-43 and heads north to Green Bay coming off a 2-1 double-overtime win against Loyola at home on Oct. 10. The Panthers also won their previous game, beating Valparaiso 1-0 on the road. Despite holding the second place spot in the Horizon League Standings, the Panthers are just 2-4 on the road this season.
After Friday's matchup with Milwaukee, the Phoenix will travel to Chicago to take on Loyola on Wednesday, Oct. 24 for the final road contest of the 2012 season. Green Bay will then return home for Senior Day and the regular season home finale on Saturday, Oct. 27 against Valparaiso. Kickoff on Senior Day will be at 1 p.m.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Links for live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com for the Phoenix game against the Panthers.
SHARING THE WEALTH: In a season where Green Bay has scored almost double what it did in 2011, the Phoenix has eight players with assists on the year. Two Green Bay players have multiple assists, including senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.). Her three assists are tied for sixth most in the Horizon League this season.
TAMING THE PANTHERS: A win tonight would be the first for Green Bay against the Panthers since 2003. In 28 meetings, Milwaukee holds a 21-6-1 all-time record against Green Bay, dating back to 1988. After a string of successes in the early to mid-1990s, the Phoenix hasn't been able to match that success in recent years. Milwaukee, then ranked No. 15 in the nation, won the 2011 meeting at home by a score of 7-0.
SAVING THE DAY: Sophomore Katy Pilarzyk (Madison,
Wis.) has 55 saves on the season, good for the fourth most individual saves in
the Horizon League. As a team, Green Bay's 64 saves this season ties for the
third most in the league.
TIME WITH TREVOR WARREN: Warren and host Andrew Gavin sat down this week for another
episode of Extra Time with Trevor Warren,
discussing the team's games against Youngstown State and Wisconsin, as well as
Friday's league contest against Milwaukee. To watch the episode, click
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay travels to Chicago to take on Loyola on Oct. 24 in a 1 p.m. matchup, and then returns home for the regular season home finale and Senior Day on Saturday, Oct. 27 against Valparaiso. Kickoff against the Crusaders will be at 1 p.m.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Some archaea look like little rods or tiny balls, and some even get around like bacteria, using long hair- or whip-like appendages called flagella that stick out of their cell walls and act like a microscopic outboard motor to get them where they are going.
Like bacteria, archaea lack a true nucleus. Both bacteria and archaea usually have one DNA molecule suspended in the cell's cytoplasm contained within a cell membrane. Most, but not all, have a tough, rigid outer cell wall.

Update: for all y'all wanting more info on what will be in Thesis 2.0 along with some screenshots, read here
Ok this is the first and probably the last review I will do on this site.
Pre-purchased Thesis 2.0 because I wanted to build a site with the Social Triggers Skin.
First release of the product was a disaster and came out later than expected. Still don't know how to get the Social Triggers skin or the boxes that were supposed to be included as an Appsumo bonus.
Official DIY response to questions on the DIY site has been non-existent...since when did I have to follow someone on twitter to get updates when they have a blog and forums on their own site but don't use it to communicate with customers?
DIY has moderators in the forum but at best they just make excuses for the sloppy roll-out and about the best they have done is to ask us to be patient and tell us it will get better.
Whatever happened to programmers testing their own code, then sending it over to QA for integration compatibility testing before releasing an alpha, then beta, then soft launch?
This whole "buy it now" product launch rush before the product is even ready is a case study in how not to do a software release.
Ok, back to the website I put off building waiting for Thesis and the Social Triggers skin. Its been 10 days now and still no idea when, where or how the skin will be available. Should have just built the website with Studio Press Genesis as originally planned...at least I know that works.
Dear Chief Sumo, please let me know how to get the Appsumo bonuses as I can't figure it out from the DIY site.
Ok, so it has been almost 2 weeks since Thesis 2.0 was released and still no skins or boxes (which are needed to get the most out of the framework) and worse of all no documentation. Support forums are saying don't upgrade to 2.0 yet...wait for them to work the bugs out. Are you kidding me?
12 of 12 people found this helpful. Did you? October 6, 2012
I love Thesis since the day I discovered it. The support we get in the forums and the Internet makes it very easy to use. However, along with many other users I have to admit I have been very disappointed with the whole release process.
With all due respect to Chris Pearson and the Thesis brand, how can you release a software with no documentation supporting your product? You claim you have the best WordPress framework and template system on the market and I agree with you. But releasing a product with no documentation is very mickey mouse. We spend our hard earned money on a product but its worthless because we don't know how to use it.
I know Chris Pearson has tweeted that a documentation is coming in about 30 days but it should have been already written and released to the public. Imagine a company like Apple or Adobe releasing a new product with no documentation or manual. They would probably quote the same words I just expressed. This is not an attack but more of me just adding my two cents worth.

Mmm... never really had a complaint with Appsumo products before, but they sold this before any product was ready.
Got an e-mail this morning (3rd Oct) saying '...we recommend you don't use Thesis 2.0 on your production sites just yet.'
Why is it for sale then? A week before launch...
And where are the bonuses?
Poor show all round in my eyes.
5 of 5 people found this helpful. Did you? October 3, 2012
Looks like they really rushed this launch. There's no theme documentation whatsoever (only referring to the old 1.8.5 version). How can you launch a theme and not provide your customers with the proper documentation? How long do I have to wait until they publish some tutorials or a user guide?
I'm a webdesigner and I'm used to tinkering with themes from various providers, as well as creating themes from scratch. But I can't get anything done with Thesis. The skin editor doesn't load correctly on Chrome for mac, the interface is clumsy and non-intuitive... very disappointing.
5 of 5 people found this helpful. Did you? October 2, 2012
Don't know. Didn't get it. Still don't have it because it hasn't been delivered as promised.
Didn't get bonuses promised either. Almost two weeks late and still nothing!

Sorry, very unimpressed... Headway is far superior...and the attitude of these guys is appalling...refund!

Has the potential to be a great product, but at this time, it doesn't even work properly. Company released the product with several bugs and is encouraging users not to upgrade to 2.0 at this time. In addition, there is no documentation currently available for this product. Very disappointing. While I do look forward to using the product once it is actually useable and documentation is available, I have no idea when that will be.

With all the hype leading up to this, I thought it would be worth pre-purchasing. Thank god AppSumo had a refund policy for this! Love you AppSumo.

Do NOT underestimate Thesis theme when you accidentally land on Matt Cutts' blog. :) Do-Whatsoever-You-Like Thesis is almost landing on number two lane.

I've used iThemes Builder for the past six months and look forward to implementing Thesis.
However, the launch and bonuses promised by DIY and Appsumo have failed to meet expectations. I know launches don't always arrive on-time but with all of the hype and push to get our orders in by September 30th only to receive a late product and no bonuses...
I suspect AppSumo and DIY need to make this up to all customers.
2 of 3 people found this helpful. Did you? October 3, 2012
it's 8 months later and this deal STILL in complete~
What a waste of money. What happened to getting your lifetime refund - no questions asked? That's why I took a risk with a pre-order (that STILL hasn't delivery skins and other bonuses offered???)
I want my money back!
1 of 1 people found this helpful. Did you? May 5, 2013
Where do I find out how this works? Their support is lacking and I don't have time to figure it out without some hand holding.
Silly me, I thought AppSumo was still sticking with its "refund for any reason, forever" policy. Guess what, that's over. I for one missed that blog post and the email with the new terms of service. Sad.

Note that all the positive reviews were written before 2.0 was released. At this point the new version looks like rubbish from my POV. Hoping to somehow get something out of this but I think I wasted a bunch of money.
December 20, 2012
I heard a lot about Thesis before finding this deal. I always put off purchasing it until now. I love that now I have unlimited access for my own sites for this great theme.
My only disappointment was the delivery of Thesis 2.0 and the extras took (taking) longer than expected. I was under the impression that the release date was right after the deal expired.

The new release deosn't come out till Oct 1, but I downloaded the 1.8 version and I am liking it. Can't wait to upgrade in a few days.

How do I get refunded for this?
When I purchased back in Sept 2012 you still advertised a lifetime refund - no questions asked!
I purchased this last September but my hard disk crashed, can I still avail of the bonuses? Thanks.
I'm a Thesis user before the 2.0 release and I always thought it was a great theme. However, the whole 2.0 release is a joke. There is absolutely no documentation on how to use Thesis 2.0 and I don't stand-alone. There are many people in the support forums that are expressing their frustrations. If you purchased Thesis 2.0 through AppSumo I would ask for my money back because the product is worthless since there is no manual or documentation.

Where are we supposed to find the bonuses for this?
No Sign of it.. more vapourware? Sumo, get off your *SS and find out where the product is..otherwise REFUND!
When we buy, can we remove the made by thesis credit and put our own text in there?
Has anyone used the Builder framework from iThemes? I'm trying to make an informed decision before purchasing Thesis or Builder. Thanks.
Can you still use plugins in thesis?
Does Thesis 2.0 theme work with OptimizePress?
Thesis and OP are both themes. You cannot install and use them at the same site at the same time.
October 2, 2012
Thanks Scott. you are right. I confused WP plugins with themes.
October 2, 2012
I know Thesis is awesome but I have to say, one of the main reasons I went through with the purchase was the bonus of a SocialTriggers skin. Looking forward to seeing it and using it Derek!
I'm a genesis user and never have used thesis. One common comment is that the thesis installation process isn't the no brainier that genesis is. For thesis 2, can I install via wp or do I have to make folder changes on my site?
You will be able to upload Thesis through the WordPress dashboard without a hitch in most environments. There are some web host settings that may not allow this, but we believe it will work with a majority of web hosts.
September 25, 2012
I have had Thesis for a while and have always uploaded it through WP. FTP can be faster but 2.0 uploaded fine
October 2, 2012
Great to see Derek H. replying to comments.
Is the new Thesis similar to Genesis framework + add-on theme? Hard to tell what the difference is.
I bought Thesis a long time ago, but moved over to Genesis. How can I upgrade a really old version of Thesis? Do I need to re-install and upgrade from within the admin area?
Did you get rid of the "Big Ass Save Button"?
The big ass save button is gone. Unfortunately. :-(.
September 25, 2012
FYI: You can change that text, under Site Options. That big ole button can say anything you want it to!
September 30, 2012
Maybe there is something I'm missing, but on their website (http://diythemes.com/plans/), the price of the Developer's Option for Thesis is the same as the discounted price here, $164. It makes it sound like we are not getting a deal here because that's the normal price available to everyone anyway.
You're gaining access to the Appsumo exclusive bonuses, though. That's the benefit.
September 25, 2012
I already own the developers license, so I am getting Thesis 2.0 included. (Very excited to commence implementing!) How can I get access to these AppSumo bonuses?
September 30, 2012
Just bought it. Where can I get the BONUS? Thanks.
The bonuses will go live beginning on October 1st.
September 25, 2012
Does this offer an easy way to make responsive themes?
It's one of the skins in the bundle, yes.
September 24, 2012
Thesis 2.0 will come shipped with a 'default skin' which will be responsive.
September 25, 2012
So, if we purchase today we will get 1.85 developer to use now and free lifetime updates and a developer license for version 2 and up?
Will we also get immediate access to the forum on the thesis web site?
Here are some pictures of version 2.
September 24, 2012
If you purchase today, you'll get Thesis 1.8.5 to use until October 1 (or as long as you like), and you'll also get free lifetime upgrades to Thesis.
And yes, you'll get immediate access to the Thesis Support Forums, too.
September 24, 2012
I looked at 1.85 and seems that you have to be a coder to use the framework, do you still have to do this in the new version 2? Or is it mostly drag and drop?
September 24, 2012
The support forums are really great. I have found my answer there many times & quickly.
September 30, 2012
Not enough of a discount to tempt me into buying thin air! Sorry.
Hey Tony. No thin air here :-) You can read more about what's new in Thesis 2.0 (along with screenshots!) right from Chris Pearson here: http://www.appsumo.com/thesis-2-info/
September 24, 2012
If 164 dollars is stopping you from running one of the smoothest Themes for wordpress and giving you the edge on your competition then please..don't get it. Don't do what you need to do if you don't have it at the moment.
A theme that requires virtually no pluggins isn't something you find when it comes to wordpress themes and the DIY team has done it.
The support alone from the Thesis team is well worth the price.
(323) 638-9784
Thank you Richard!
September 24, 2012
Here is what is annoying about this 'deal':
We, the potential customers, are offered no insight into how this new framework will function. There is only a small bulleted list of features. I am supposed to take it on faith that this is an excellent product, with no way to kick its tires, and for that pleasure I am supposed to spring for $164? Total rubbish.
Are the extra bonuses that amazing? No, there are plenty of ways to implement the same thing.
Is the lifetime license worth it? Probably. But it's hard to sell air.
The only saving grace is the Sumo guarantee:
"100% money back guarantee! For any reason Anytime before you die."
I am leaning toward buying it because I worked with Thesis for a past client and it was 'okay'. I prefer Ultimatum, Catalyst and Thematic... but who knows what kind of greatness Pearson's cooked up in four years? But it's annoying that I am expected to put down that amount of money on a promise.
Agree with you.

Hey Ansel,
We created a separate page, with screenshots of Thesis 2.0, and you can check it out here:
We're in no way trying to "sell air," and we fully stand behind the value of this product. Be sure to read through the above link before you make a decision.
Let me know if you need anything else :).

Ansel and other Sumo-lings,
Check out our first intro post on Thesis 2. Hopefully, I've answered some of your questions:
The only promise here is that Thesis 2 will launch on October 1. After that date, this same deal will cost $197.

Hey Daniel,
Is WooCommerce supported with Thesis 2.0?
