About our Jigs
At Flatbed Jigs our motto is PRINTING MADE EASY and that's exactly what our jig system has enabled for our customers, but it all started with years of experience of trying to improve the way we printed too. Once we came up with a system that worked so well, we wanted to share it with you.
Watch our PRO jig system overview video below that explains how it all works.
Our PRO jig system works with our clever bed base & ruler guide and we also offer generic jigs for flatbed printers such as A4 and A3.
Need more information? In this section we will answer many of your questions such as.... how our printing jigs work, why choose flatbed jigs, what is a bed base and ruler guide, what jig do I use for my flatbed machine, can I use my own blank products, do you make custom jigs....and many more. If you sill have questions after reading through, then get in touch and a member of our team will happily help.
A little about our PRO jigs and what they offer: |
Our PRO jig system is 'interchangeable' meaning other jigs may be compatible with your machine using part the bed space. You may even be able to use some of our smaller printing jigs on different models / manufactures flatbed machines including switching between Roland, Mimaki and Mutoh.
If you're just starting out and have a Roland LEF-12 and buy one of our 'Optimised Roland LEF 12 Series Jigs', after a few months you find your orders are high and decide to invest in a bigger flatbed printer and choose the Roland LEF-200. You can either go for an 'Optimised Roland LEF 200 Series Jig' or use a 'Compatible Roland LEF 200 Series Jig'. Equally if you invested in a Mimaki UJF 6042 then your previous 'Optimised Roland LEF 12 Series Jigs' would still be compatible with your new Mimaki.
With the cost of a new flatbed printer the added cost of investing in a set of new jigs for that specific machine can be very high especially if you have a range of products (and a range of jigs). In this example our 12 series jig not only fits the Roland LEF-12 series, but is compatible with the Roland LEF / SF 20 & 200 series and well as the Roland LEF 300 series and other manufactures and models such as the Mimaki 6042, but uses part of the bed space. That means as your business grows our jigs can grow with you.
Once you've fitted our bed base and ruler guide (we'll explain what this is a little further down) you can simply place your printing jigs on to your flatbed printer, set up your job and away you go. You can swap between production jobs within minutes (or seconds with our pro jigs which are pre-loadable off the machine).
None of our jigs needs screwing down onto your machine (which saves so much time), they are made to a specific specification that fits our bed base and ruler guide which allows you to line up your jig and keeps it securely in place.
Our jigs ensure 100% accuracy and enable professional precision printing every time meaning you can offer a consistent product to your customers with no worry of struggling to align and set up your product jobs.
All of our jigs are supplied with a handy digital printing layout guide that's compatible with leading design software such as Adobe and Corel Draw. These templates allow you to design products and artwork to exactly the right size, once exported you then match up your artwork with your production file, making it so easy to know where exactly to place your blank items in each printing space correlating to your design file.
When you decide on Flatbed Jigs, there's no contract or limitations of using a certain type of blank product that you want to print on. You can source your own items, i.e. an iPhone case and find one of our PRO jigs that's compatible with your product. We suggest sending a couple of samples to ensure they fit. If you have a slightly different design or are looking for something more specialist or obscure then you can always use our custom jig service too where we can make a printing jig exactly to your requirements.
About our PRO Jig System: |
Our unique PRO jig system combines a bed and ruler marked with a grid to aid alignment when positioning items with a range of quick change jigs that are supplied with a digital set up file, to ensure rapid and accurate placement of blank products, aiding efficiency and cost savings in your production methods.
To get the most benefit from our products you will need to order a "Bed Base & Ruler Guide" to fit your printer and ensure the jigs fit the products you wish to print onto. This is a one time only process and once it's fitted you be able to place jigs straight onto it with ease.
Example: Bed Base & Ruler Guide
We recommend that our PRO jigs are used with our bed base and ruler guide as this is our tried and tested method which guarantees accurate, efficient and cost effective printing minimising the risk of miss-prints and wasted stock. Simply place the required jig onto the bed base, no need for screws or fixing into place, load the blank products and printing files and away you go.
If your business model is small quantities of products then 'Optimised Smaller Jigs' such as the Roland LEF 12 will be ideal. If you want to test blanks and prototypes (before committing to a specific jig) that may suitable for your business requirements then our pegboard is just what you need. To maximise your machines output for high volume production then 'optimised PRO Jigs' will give you the most efficient and cost effective production using every available area of your flatbed printer.

Taking Charge of Your Medical Care
Like learning to drive or managing finances, figuring out health care is part of becoming an independent adult. Here are some tips on what that involves — and why it matters.
Why Managing Your Medical Care Is Important
If you're like most teens, you've left your health care up to your parents. After all, they care about your health as much as you do. But nobody knows more about your body than you: You live in it and you're the one who knows when something doesn't feel right.
Taking charge of your health care lets you make choices that affect you every day. It also prepares you for the time when you'll be the one buying health insurance or making decisions for your own kids.
What Should I Know?
Chances are, you already know quite a bit about your health. Most of us have missed school because of a virus, taken some sort of medicine, or dealt with a sports injury at some point.
But even people who have a lot of experience with doctors or hospitals have gaps in their knowledge when it comes to the medical system. If you have a health condition like diabetes or asthma, you may know some things well (like when to take your medicine), but less about others (like the medicine name or how to fill a prescription).
Now's the time to fill in those blanks. Here's how.
Start by finding out your basic medical information. Knowing this will help in an emergency. Ask your mom, dad, or whoever keeps your health information to give you these five things:
- The name, address, and phone number of your doctor(s).
- The details on medicines you take. If you don't know why you take that little green pill every morning, now is the time to find out.
- Your personal . Know what vaccinations you've had, whether you had any major medical problems, and the details of any operations or hospital treatments.
- Your family medical history. Ask family members if diseases like cancer or diabetes run in the family.
- Any allergies you may have.
Some of this information — like your doctor's contact details, allergies, or medicines — should be loaded in your phone. Keep other information, like medical history, in a safe, private place, like on a password-protected thumb drive.
What Should I Do?
Start Making Your Own Decisions
The more you learn about health care, the smarter your decisions will be — and the more comfortable your parents might feel with having you make them.
Choosing your own doctor is one of the most important decisions you can make. Lots of people prefer to stay with their childhood doctor during the teen years (if your doctor is a pediatrician, you'll have to switch eventually). Other people decide their teens are a good time to switch to a family doctor, adolescent medicine specialist, or internist.
Your doctor should be someone you feel comfortable talking to about anything—body image, dating, relationships, peer pressure to drink or do drugs, school problems, or depression. Know what's important to you, like having a doctor who asks good questions, or is young or the same gender as you. Take all the time you need to find the right doctor. If you have to switch a couple of times, that's OK
Include your parents as you make your decisions. They've managed your health care until now, and they'll probably want to have a "hand-off" period. They may want you to stay with a particular doctor — if you have brothers and sisters, it might be easiest to have everyone in the same medical practice. But there are still ways to make some of your own decisions.
Here are some things you can start doing around age 14:
- Make your own medical appointments. Allergies acting up? Time for your sports physical? Tell your mom or dad that you want to be the one who calls to make the appointment. If it helps, ask your mom or dad to sit with you as you make your first call, or get a checklist of the things you need to say.
- Call in any prescription refills and pick them up at the pharmacy. You can now download apps that let you refill your prescription without making a phone call.
- Keep your own personal health records.
- Schedule alone time at each doctor's visit. This lets you build your own working relationship with your doctor.
Here's what to do by the time you leave high school:
- Have copies of your medical records — or know where to get them (for example, school or your doctor's office).
- Know your health insurance company and who to contact there.
- Understand the basics of health insurance coverage and how to get it if you're no longer on a parent's plan.
- Know how to get referrals to specialists, if needed.
- If you have a chronic medical condition or special health care need, contact your local Social Security office to apply for benefits after you turn 18.
As you take an active role in managing your health care, ask your parents for help. Even if you're pretty sure you know the answer to something, asking for help is a good way to reassure your mom or dad that you're responsible and will ask questions if needed.
Insurance plans can be complicated and change often. Involving your parents can help you be sure that doctors accept your health insurance so you're not left responsible for the whole bill.
Take Good Care of Yourself
Perhaps the best, and easiest, way to take charge of your own health care is to start by taking care of yourself. To do this at any age:
- Stay at a healthy weight.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods (like whole grains).
- Get enough sleep.
- Exercise regularly.
- Help your body grow and be its best by not smoking, drinking alcohol, or doing drugs.
- If you take medicine, follow the directions. Avoid missing doses by programming reminders into your phone or taking medicines at the same time you do another daily routine, like brushing your teeth. When your doctor gives you a prescription, ask what to do if you forget to take a dose.
- If you have an illness like diabetes or asthma, ask your mom, dad, or doctor for small steps you can do to manage your own treatment.
Start Now
It's easy to let your parents call the shots, but taking responsibility for your health is a great way to learn critical lifelong skills and demonstrate your independence. It is the best headstart you can give yourself on the road to lifelong wellness.

XGlide on confidence with extraordinary comfort. Sweep on style with exquisite smoothness. In an instant, experience the transformation this exceptional lipstick inspires. True Dimensions® Lipstick effortlessly blends alluring femininity with the beauty of science. The range of head-turning shades lets you express every dimension of you – from fearless to fashionable to free-spirited – while the advanced formula targets the key qualities that give lips their contour and dimension – delivering the look of fullness and plumpness. It's this brilliant fusion that elevates True Dimensions® Lipstick beyond ordinary lip color.
Ultrastylish Push-Button Design
True Dimensions® Lipstick looks as good in your hand as it does on your lips. The metalized, smoky platinum-colored case features a clear button on top, so you can see exactly the shade you're looking for in your purse or makeup bag. Then, just a push of the button releases the trimline lipstick from its sleeve for an added cool factor. It's so sleek and ultrastylish, it's the perfect accessory to complement any outfit.
Blended within this lush-feeling formula are two age-defying ingredients that work in synergy to deliver results. To help achieve the look of invitingly kissable lips, the Mary Kay scientists naturally looked to an extract from the "kiss me quick" plant (portulaca pilosa), plus the power of palmitoyl tripeptide 38, which is commonly used in skin care products. With this complex, the formula helps lips look plumper and feel firmer while saturating them in moisture.
Powerful protection – A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E (tocopherol) is used to help protect lips from free radicals and environmental damage.
Naturally beautiful – The lightweight, ultracreamy formula contains a nourishing blend of ingredients provided by nature, including sunflower seed oil, jojoba and mango butter, which are known for their moisturizing benefits. And it's fragrance-free.
*Based on in-vitro testing of key ingredients
That's what three out of four women experienced* after trying True Dimensions® Lipstick. Imagine how invitingly kissable your lips can be with results like these:
92% | said it feels soothing, moisturizing and comforting on lips. |
85% | agreed it replenishes and conditions lips, leaving them looking their healthy best. |
87% | said lips look smoother and feel supple. |
76% | said lips appear younger, voluptuous and line-free. |
*Results reflect the percentage of women who agreed with the statement during a one-week independent consumer study.

Here is the full text of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama's speech in St Paul, Minnesota.
Tonight Minnesota, after 54 hard-fought contests, our primary season has finally come to an end.
Sixteen months have passed since we first stood together on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois.
Thousands of miles have been travelled. Millions of voices have been heard.
And because of what you said - because you decided that change must come to Washington; because you believed that this year must be different than all the rest; because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another - a journey that will bring a new and better day to America.
Because of you, tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America.
I want to thank all those in Montana and South Dakota who stood up for change today. I want to thank every American who stood with us over the course of this campaign - through the good days and the bad; from the snows of Cedar Rapids to the sunshine of Sioux Falls.
And tonight I also want to thank the men and woman who took this journey with me as fellow candidates for president.
At this defining moment for our nation, we should be proud that our party put forth one of the most talented, qualified field of individuals ever to run for office.
I have not just competed with them as rivals, I have learned from them as friends, as public servants, as patriots who love America and are willing to work tirelessly to make this country better.
They are leaders of this party, and leaders that America will turn to for years to come.
Made history
And that is particularly true for the candidate who has travelled further on this journey than anyone else.
Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she's a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she is a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight.
Senator Obama praised Hillary Clinton for her strength and commitment
I congratulate here on her victory in South Dakota and I congratulate her on the race she has run throughout this contest.
We've certainly had our differences over the last 16 months.
But as someone who's shared a stage with her many times, I can tell you that what gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning - even in the face of tough odds - is exactly what sent her and Bill Clinton to sign up for their first campaign in Texas all those years ago; what sent her to work at the Children's Defense Fund and made her fight for health care as First Lady; what led her to the United States Senate and fuelled her barrier-breaking campaign for the presidency - an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans, no matter how difficult the fight may be.
And you can rest assured that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country, and we will win that fight, she will be central to that victory.
When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen.
Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honour to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Inspired a nation
There are those who say that this primary has somehow left us weaker and more divided.
Well I say that because of this primary, there are millions of Americans who have cast their ballot for the very first time.
There are Independents and Republicans who understand that this election isn't just about a change of party in Washington, it's about the need to change Washington.
There are young people, and African-Americans, and Latinos, and women of all ages who have voted in numbers that have broken records and inspired a nation.
All of you chose to support a candidate you believe in deeply.
But at the end of the day, we aren't the reason you came out and waited in lines that stretched block after block to make your voice heard.
You didn't do that because of me or Senator Clinton or anyone else.
You did it because you know in your hearts that at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - we cannot afford to keep doing what we've been doing.
We owe our children a better future. We owe our country a better future.
And for all those who dream of that future tonight, I say - let us begin the work together.
Let us unite in common effort to chart a new course for America.
Republican agenda
In just a few short months, the Republican Party will arrive in St Paul with a very different agenda.
They will come here to nominate John McCain, a man who has served this country heroically.
I honour, we honour, the service of John McCain, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine.
My differences with him are not personal; they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign.
Because while John McCain can legitimately tout moments of independence from his party in the past, such independence has not been the hallmark of his presidential campaign.
It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95% of the time, as he did in the Senate last year.
It's not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies that have failed to create well-paying jobs, or insure our workers, or help Americans afford the skyrocketing cost of college - policies that have lowered the real incomes of the average American family, widened the gap between Wall Street and Main Street, and left our children with a mountain of debt.
It's not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians - a policy where all we look for are reasons to stay in Iraq, while we spend billions of dollars a month on a war that isn't making the American people any safer.
Foreign policy
So I'll say this - there are many words to describe John McCain's attempt to pass off his embrace of George Bush's policies as bipartisan and new.
But change is not one of them.
Because change is a foreign policy that doesn't begin and end with a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged.
I won't stand here and pretend that there are many good options left in Iraq, but what's not an option is leaving our troops in that country for the next hundred years - especially at a time when our military is overstretched, our nation is isolated, and nearly every other threat to America is being ignored.
We must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in - but start leaving we must.
It's time for Iraqis to take responsibility for their future.
It's time to rebuild our military and give our veterans the care they need and the benefits they deserve when they come home.
It's time to refocus our efforts on al-Qaeda's leadership and Afghanistan, and rally the world against the common threats of the 21st century - terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease.
Understanding struggles
That's what change is.
Change is realising that meeting today's threats requires not just our firepower, but the power of our diplomacy - tough, direct diplomacy where the president of the United States isn't afraid to let any petty dictator know where America stands and what we stand for.
We must once again have the courage and conviction to lead the free world.
That is the legacy of Roosevelt, and Truman, and Kennedy.
That's what the American people demand.
That's what change is.
Change is building an economy that rewards not just wealth, but the work and workers who created it.
It's understanding that the struggles facing working families can't be solved by spending billions of dollars on more tax breaks for big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but by giving a middle-class tax break to those who need it, and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, and transforming how we use energy, and improving our schools, and renewing our commitment to science and innovation.
It's understanding that fiscal responsibility and shared prosperity can go hand-in-hand, as they did when Bill Clinton was president.
John McCain has spent a lot of time talking about trips to Iraq in the last few weeks, but maybe if he spent some time taking trips to the cities and towns that have been hardest hit by this economy - cities in Michigan, and Ohio, and right here in Minnesota - he'd understand the kind of change that people are looking for.
Maybe if he went to Iowa and met the student who works the night shift after a full day of class and still can't pay the medical bills for a sister who's ill, he'd understand that she can't afford four more years of a health care plan that only takes care of the healthy and wealthy.
She needs us to pass health care right now, a plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it and brings down premiums for every family who needs it.
That's the change we need.
Our children
Maybe if John McCain went to Pennsylvania and met the man who lost his job but can't even afford the gas to drive around and look for a new one, he'd understand that we can't afford four more years of our addiction to oil from dictators.
That man needs us to pass an energy policy that works with automakers to raise fuel standards, and makes corporations pay for their pollution, and oil companies invest their record profits in a clean energy future - an energy policy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced.
That's the change we need.
And maybe if he spent some time in the schools of South Carolina or St Paul, Minnesota, or where he spoke tonight in New Orleans, Louisiana, he'd understand that we can't afford to leave the money behind for No Child Left Behind; that we owe it to our children to invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers and give them better pay and more support and finally decide that in this global economy, the chance to get a college education should not be a privilege for the wealthy few, but the birthright of every American.
That's the change we need in America.
That's why I'm running for president.
Americans first
The other side will come here in September and offer a very different set of policies and positions, and that is a good thing, that is a debate I look forward to.
It is a debate the American people deserve on the issues that will help determine the future of this country and the future of its children.
But what you don't deserve is another election that's governed by fear, and innuendo, and division.
What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon - that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize.
Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first.
We are always Americans first.
Despite what the good Senator from Arizona said tonight, I have seen people of differing views and opinions find common cause many times during my two decades in public life, and I have brought many together myself.
I've walked arm-in-arm with community leaders on the South Side of Chicago and watched tensions fade as black, white, and Latino fought together for good jobs and good schools.
I've sat across the table from law enforcement officials and civil rights advocates to reform a criminal justice system that sent 13 innocent people to death row.
I've worked with friends in the other party to provide more children with health insurance and more working families with a tax break; to curb the spread of nuclear weapons and ensure that the American people know where their tax dollars are being spent; and to reduce the influence of lobbyists who have all too often set the agenda in Washington.
In our country, I have found that this cooperation happens not because we agree on everything, but because behind all the false labels and false divisions and categories that define us; beyond all the petty bickering and point-scoring in Washington, Americans are a decent, generous, compassionate people, united by common challenges and common hopes.
And every so often, there are moments which call on that fundamental goodness to make this country great again.
Our time
So it was for that band of patriots who declared in a Philadelphia hall the formation of a more perfect union; and for all those who gave on the fields of Gettysburg and Antietam their last full measure of devotion to save that same union.
So it was for the Greatest Generation that conquered fear itself, and liberated a continent from tyranny, and made this country home to untold opportunity and prosperity.
So it was for the workers who stood out on the picket lines; the women who shattered glass ceilings; the children who braved a Selma bridge for freedom's cause.
So it has been for every generation that faced down the greatest challenges and the most improbable odds to leave their children a world that's better, and kinder, and more just.
And so it must be for us.
America, this is our moment. This is our time.
Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for this country that we love.
The journey will be difficult. The road will be long.
I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations.
But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people.
Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.
This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.
Thank you, Minnesota, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

You drop into the world. You are beautiful, full-bodied, ready for anything, but the world is bigger than you — to your surprise, you are small. You try to make your way, but the big world spits you out, so you fight your way back.
And because life is like that, you get hit again ...
And again.
And again.
Each time, you try to rebound ...
But each time, you've got a little less to offer.
A little less bounce.
A little less of yourself.
But still you don't quit ...
You keep bouncing back.
I should warn you: The people who shot this video didn't think they were telling a story, a parable for life. They were studying fluid mechanics. Life just crept in and turned their science experiment into a poem ...
Just so you know, we are looking at an effect called the coalescence cascade, shot with a high-speed camera. It's a very slowed-down version of a drop of liquid falling gently onto a surface of the same liquid.
As Nicole Sharp explains on her saucily named blog about fluid dynamics (FYFD):
"When a droplet impacts a pool at low speed, a layer of air trapped beneath the droplet can often prevent it from immediately coalescing into the pool. As that air layer drains away, surface tension pulls some of the droplet's mass into the pool while a smaller droplet is ejected. When it bounces off the surface of the water, the process is repeated, and the droplet grows smaller and smaller until surface tension is able to completely absorb it into the pool."
And yet, I root for that little droplet; I do a happy dance every time it reappears, flinging its smaller and smaller self from that giant pool, trying, it seems to me, to keep itself going.
The Toughest Little Droplet Ever?
I'm not alone. Robert T. Gonzales, an editor at io9, the daily blog from Gawker Media, was so taken by the many returns of the droplet, that he searched around, looking for an even better bouncer. In the video we've just seen, he writes, "the effect manages to repeat itself four times (in what scientists who study fluid mechanics call 'events') before the viscous properties of the resting pool become too strong for the smallest drops to withstand coalescing completely." Is four (which includes the first drop) the limit?
No. Gonzales found a better one! Here's a five-bouncer ...
OK, five, then. How about six? What's the outer limit on droplet toughness? The great boxer Jake LaMotta, (played by Robert De Niro in Raging Bull), took a million blows from Sugar Ray Robinson and never fell down. Is there a LaMotta droplet out there somewhere? Gonzales looked, and believes the highest number of bounces ever seen was seven. Gonzales says that John Bush, a professor of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has studied coalescence cascades, once saw that many; but no corroborating video has ever been published. Too bad. It could have been released as "Raging Droplet."
Thanks to Aatish Bhatia for pointing me to these videos. The first one was shot by Steven Trainoff and Noah Philip, using their own high-speed camera. The second one comes from theLaboratory of Porous Media and Thermophysical Properties at Brazil's Universidade Federal in Santa Catarina. The droplets, I realize, don't really fling themselves from the fluid below; they are resting on a thin blanket of air, which, when it dissolves, captures part of the drop, but leaves a remainder.

(AP) ATLANTA – A government survey shows more teens are now smoking pot than cigarettes.
More on the CDC's National Youth Risk Behavior Survey
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that 23 percent of high school students said they recently smoked marijuana, while 18 percent said they had puffed cigarettes. The survey asked teens about a variety of risky behaviors.
For decades, the number of teens who smoke has been on the decline. Marijuana use has fluctuated, and recently rose. At times, pot and cigarette smoking were about the same level, but last year marked the first time marijuana use was clearly greater.
An earlier survey by the University of Michigan also found that pot smoking was higher. A Michigan expert said teens today apparently see marijuana as less dangerous than cigarettes.

Serenading Our Lady
For Erica Aguilar, it was a sacrifice worth making. The young mother bundled up her five young children against the winter cold and traveled from Decatur to St. Patrick Cathedral in the wee hours of the morning to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe on her Dec. 12 feast day.
"Our family is from Mexico, and she is our special saint," explained Aguilar who manages the Danza Azteca Guadalupana with her husband, Jorge. The troupe of young Matachines — known culturally as soldiers of the Virgin — danced in her honor at the celebration. "My brother's middle name is Guadalupe because he was born on December 12. We grew up thanking her for everything we had."
In 1531, Juan Diego was on his way to Mass when he found a beautiful Indian woman standing on top of Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City. The apparition, which occurred during the Aztec winter solstice, became known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the day her holy image appeared on Juan Diego's tilma is celebrated as her feast day. A church built on the spot of the miracle, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is the most frequented Marian shrine in the world.
Centuries after the apparition, the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe is observed in shrines and churches across the Americas with special liturgies, processions, and vigils. The 6 a.m. Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral was one of many Masses celebrated in parishes across the Diocese of Fort Worth to honor the mother of Jesus.
Dressed in red Aztec-inspired costumes embellished with beads and feathers, the school-age Matachines from Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Decatur were part of the pre-dawn festivities that started with a serenade in front of the Virgin of Guadalupe statue. The Mariachi Real de Alvarez began the ceremony with the "Mañanitas," a traditional Mexican song heard on birthdays and holidays.
"Mañanitas means morning so it's the birthday morning song. It's a serenade that's done early in the day — sometimes at midnight," said Tina Valdez, who served on the celebration's organizing committee. "In the Hispanic culture, you sing the Mañanitas before the Happy Birthday song."
Young members of Ballet Folklorico Azteca de Fort Worth, a Mexican folk dance organization, also paid homage to Our Lady of Guadalupe with a spirited performance of Jalisco and Nuevo Leon before the Mass. They danced the traditional "Jarabe Tapatio" — Mexican hat dance — during a post-liturgy reception in the parish hall.
Many worshippers drove from Arlington and Dallas to the cathedral to witness the early morning music and dancing tributes to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Their own parishes had scheduled an evening liturgy for the feast day.
"But they wanted to participate in a ceremony that was more traditional because in Mexico it's done in the early morning," Valdez added. "The celebration is part of our culture and very close to our heart. Our Lady of Guadalupe is our mother."
A symbol of Mexican identity, ardent devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe is ever-present in many Mexican-American households. Growing up, Martha Prud'homme could relate to the indigenous characteristics of the Marian image.
"She's brown like me and has dark hair and eyes like I do," said the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Fort Worth parishioner who attended the service with her 10-year-old niece, Audrianna Cardoza, for a reason. "It's important for us to teach the next generation the values of our culture. Our Lady of Guadalupe is part of who we are as Mexican-Americans. She's an icon."
Prud'homme remembers how her childhood home had four or five pictures of the Virgin scattered in various rooms. It was a family tradition she continued after marrying Steve Prud'homme, the athletic director at Nolan Catholic High School.
"My husband thought he had walked into a church," she laughed, recalling how her décor includes a collection of Our Lady of Guadalupe images.
During the cathedral Mass, St. Patrick pastor Monsignor Joseph Pemberton recalled the dedication and love for Our Lady of Guadalupe he witnessed while visiting the basilica dedicated to her in Mexico City.
"The first thing that struck me was watching the people crawl on their knees up to the basilica," the celebrant recalled in his homily. "The profound simplicity of their faith was so innocent and childlike. I was moved by that."
Juan Diego, the poor Indian who saw the apparition, represents all the broken, lost people of the world, he said.
"Our Lady of Guadalupe came to Juan Diego and said to the world through him, 'I am the mother of the lost. I am the mother of the broken. I am the mother of those who feel unwanted and unloved,'" Msgr. Pemberton added.
The Virgin continues to speak to her people centuries later. Proclaimed the Patroness of the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe champions the downtrodden and protects the unborn.
"When you feel a little broken in your life, and you feel that life has not been good to you, come to Our Lady of Guadalupe," Msgr. Pemberton urged. "She is the mother of the sorrowful and broken. That is expressed so beautifully in the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe."

Boomers a (Labor) Force for Social Change
Boomers discover ways to apply their skills and life experience to purposeful second careers.
We're a nation that will soon have more older people than young ones, and much of the popular media portrays this as a disaster story that goes something like this: Tens of millions of people, the single biggest group in society and a mighty political force, are about to dominate the scene. Overnight at age 60, they will become the elderly, pass out of the "working-age population," become incompetent and incontinent, bankrupt the health care system, and vote for hefty increases in public spending on their retirement at the expense of everyone else.
We've stretched the average life span from 47 years in 1900 to nearly 80 today. But our imagination about the shape of those longer lives has lagged behind. Until not long ago, the 50s and 60s meant retirement, grandparenthood, senior discounts, and early-bird specials. Today there is a growing group of what I call "neither-nors." Neither young nor old, neither ready to be retired nor able to afford it.
With big thinking, there is a chance to tap the talents and experience of the "baby boom" generation to solve longstanding social problems, from health care to homelessness, education to the environment. There is a chance to turn an older population into a new workforce for social change.
Some people, like Gary Maxworthy, are leading the way. As an idealistic young man, Maxworthy wanted to heed JFK's call to service, but he already had a family to support. Instead of joining the Peace Corps, he launched a career in the food-distribution business, where he worked for more than 30 years.
As Maxworthy approached 60, his wife's passing sent him into a period of soul-searching. He thought a lot about his old Peace Corps dream and the prospect of returning to it. In the end, he chose a more manageable domestic option, VISTA, part of the AmeriCorps national service program.
VISTA placed Maxworthy at the San Francisco Food Bank, where he discovered that—like food banks throughout the state of California—it was primarily giving out canned and processed food. It was all they could reliably deliver without food spoiling.
Maxworthy knew that California farmers were discarding tons of blemished but wholesome fruits and vegetables that were not up to supermarket standards. He launched Farm to Family, a program that in 2010 distributed more than 100 million pounds of fresh food to needy families in California.
Without question Maxworthy would have done a lot of good as a 22-year-old Peace Corps volunteer. But would he have been able to do something comparable to developing a system to distribute 100 million pounds of food to hungry people every year?
Never before have so many people, like Maxworthy, had so much life experience and the time and the capacity to do something significant with it. That's the gift of longevity, the great potential payoff from all the progress we've made in extending lives.
But we won't collect this experience dividend if we don't move to recognize a new stage of life and create the kind of support people need to transition from the end of midlife to the beginning of their encore years. We need innovation.
How about inventing a gap year for grown-ups, a time when they could take a break, volunteer at home or abroad, or try a new career direction? A gap year—perhaps financed by a new tax-exempt savings vehicle we could call the Individual Purpose Account— could be a source of renewal for those embarking on a new career chapter.
What about midlife fellowships for those seeking roles that combine purpose with a paycheck? And why stop there: Let's rethink our entire education system. Why cram so much learning into our teens and early 20s when we may want to move in a whole new direction in our 50s, 60s, and 70s?
By capitalizing on the unique assets of this vast population, we can make something extraordinary out of what so many think of as the leftover years. The right public policies could even provide new chances for social mobility. Today's boomers are the first wave passing into this new period, which will soon be occupied by their longer-living children and grandchildren. In crafting our society to respond, we'll open up options for younger people, who could then make life decisions with the expectation of more than one bite of the apple.
We all have a stake in this project. It's our chance to turn the purported paradox of longevity—good for individuals, terrible for society —into a vast payoff for all generations, today and tomorrow.

Unlocking the Hero Within: Systems Preview
Warlords of Draenor Developer Interviews
There were a few developer interviews at the recent press events, so today we are taking a look at interviews with Alex Afrasiabi from Gameplanet.
- You won't be allowed to fly in Draenor at release, and the devs want to see how players react to this.
- Afrasiabi also mentions that he thinks it is possible that players could love a world with no flying.
- Garrisons will change the way the game plays, making it feel new.
- Iron Horde will be coming through the Dark Portal in the weeks coming up to the expansion release.
- Upon arrival to Draenor, players will go through a 45 minute experience to try and turn off the Dark Portal to save Azeroth.
- You will see why the enemy is so bad right right away, as well as why you must stop them.
- When Garrosh goes back to Draenor, he still thinks he is a great savior. He wants to show the world the might of a united Orc front.
Flying in Warlords of Draenor
One of the statements from the interview above prompted some discussion on the forums about the possibility of no flying at all in Warlords of Draenor.
Hearthsteed Colors
You may remember that the Hearthsteed mount was added to the game with both red and blue variations. So far, everyone has received the blue version for trying out Hearthstone. It appears the red version still may show up in the future though!

Adding Insult to Injury
Saturday, September 27, 2008
Apparently this cookie place has a strict one-do-over-per-cookie policy, so "happy" was scraped off and redone, but "birtday" was left as is. That yellow powdery pile in a vaguely star-like shape is a nice addition, though.
Roxy, I'm not sure if you're giving this Wreck the thumbs up or if your injury prevents you from giving it the finger, but either way I hope a little cakey fame will help heal the hurts. Plus, I suppose it could've been worse: you might have received a Wreck while in the hospital.

Ok, I'm sorry, but the grease marks left by the icing are just grossing me out! I don't think I could eat this thing!

What's a cookie cake? Exactly what it sounds like? :S

There's smearing by her name too...I sure hope that wasn't caused by someone letting long sleeves hang into the frosting!

First of all, cheaping out on a cake with just a cookie, is crap!
Secondly, THAT cookie is crap!
Don't get me started on the yellow (what is that, curry powder)?
Love those perky little rosebuds all around the edge too. What were they all thinking?

ROFL! Now I am craving cookies *nomnomnom*.
But seriously....from the rate we see misspellings, I am beginning to wonder if bakers should have a spelling test before they hire somebody, and the person's spelling grades pulled from kindergarten as a reference :P
It does look yummy though...I just might need to make cupcakes with powdered sugar frosting today...mmmm. - September 27, 2008 at 10:45 AM
- Ulrike said...
Cookie cake = giant cookie with frosting.
I have to ask, how badly did they misspell "happy" that *that* is the word they chose to fix? - September 27, 2008 at 10:55 AM
That seriously looked like a home job! They should not have pawned it off on a customer...

Yeah, anonymous, a cookie cake is exactly like it sounds.
A GINORMOUS chocolate chip (normally) cookie topped with icing. - September 27, 2008 at 11:27 AM
- Hyla said...
Maybe that powedery yellow stuff is her meds??
Is that a "Q" or an "o" that is underlined.........?
I love cookie cakes to but this one.....................hmmmm not so much.
http://earthyfinds.blogspot.com - September 27, 2008 at 11:43 AM
It's always good to know that it's the thought that counts. - September 27, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Anonymous 9:41, yes, a cookie cake is just as it sounds: it is a giant chocolate chip cookie that is iced like a cake. They are yummy, but this one makes me lose my appetite. :P I have had a LOT of cookie cakes in my day, but I have never seen anything powdery on one. Ugg.
- September 27, 2008 at 12:20 PM
- Evelyn said...
They originally wrote it in chocolate, then wiped it off or wrote over it with the white. It's not grease stains. Lovely!
- September 27, 2008 at 12:26 PM
I love cookies. I love frosting on cookies... but to mess this up and refuse to respell "birthday" properly?!?!? What kind of cheap crappy cake seller is that? I mean, just get another cookie and redo it, dang it.
- September 27, 2008 at 12:40 PM
- k-bro said...
I agree with Ulrike; that was my first thought too.
When I enlarged the picture, the star doesn't look powdery. It looks to me like frosting smooshed through a stencil or something. - September 27, 2008 at 1:19 PM
Is that a cedilla under the O in Roxy? Are O's even allowed to have cedillas?

Shouldn't cookie "cakes" belong in the same category as cupcake "cakes"?! They are both wreck-fugly, and I'm shocked (shocked and outraged) that our Cake Wrecks Guru doesn't make the wrecktastic connection!!
(BTW, love the blog.) - September 27, 2008 at 2:20 PM
Oh my gosh! That is hilarious. I can't frost cakes either. I've got photo evidence of it somewhere. ;)

I agree about the messed up spelling -- lame. But cookie cakes are yummy. I don't think they really qualify as cakes (which doesn't mean wrecked ones don't belong on Cake Wrecks!), but they are totally yummy. I used to work at The Cookie Factory (when I was a teenager), which made the best cookie cakes. Mmmm.
- September 27, 2008 at 3:08 PM
Cakewrecks... making me wish spelling was a mandatory subject
- September 27, 2008 at 3:25 PM
I would disown anyone who thought they could pass off a chocolate chip cookie in place of my BIRTDAY cake. I'm not opposed to cookies in any way, but serve them in addition to the cake, not in place, cheapskates.
This is right up there with ice cream cake. I said I wanted cake and ice cream. Don't think those crunchies in the middle even remotely replace cake. - September 27, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Seriously, what is that yellow stuff?
It looks like they dumped out a few Pixie Stix in a "star" formation.
Sorry, Roxy. - September 27, 2008 at 4:58 PM
- Tiona said...
You'd think that most bakeries would have a policy that if it's not what you ordered, they fix it. I know I definately wouldn't have given that one a thumbs up!
- September 27, 2008 at 5:11 PM
If CCCs are not acceptable, then this is SO way not acceptable! It's not even cake, it's a freakin' frosted cookie. I love me some chocolate chip cookies but I don't see how frosting glopped on improves them in any way.
Poor RoXy. I hope her birtday was happy anyway. - September 27, 2008 at 5:53 PM
penny perkins:
I think that cookie cakes generally aren't considered as bad as cupcake cakes because they don't require an assload of frosted to look even (hell, they're usually not even completely frosted) and can be made into regular geometric shapes without looking really crappy. That's the theory, anyway. - September 27, 2008 at 6:43 PM
- j. said...
That's terrible... Even if they hadn't redone "birtday," the fact that the chocolate stained that badly should've made the baker *embarrassed* to sell that cookiecake.
P.S.- Congratulations on making it onto the Straight Dope! :D
http://vespertinestars.blogspot.com - September 27, 2008 at 6:43 PM
I dunno, anonymous 4:22, I find ice cream cakes to be pretty awesome (the Dairy Queen ones, anyway). Personally, I can't stand ice cream and cake together; the textures are way too different to go together well.
Now, as for those heathens that make ice cream cakes with both ice cream and cake, well, that's just another story. - September 27, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Uh uh. Why would someone pay for this? I would have refused it and gone somewhere else.
- September 27, 2008 at 8:39 PM
I am sorry - but the star on the brown makes it look just like a "chocolate starfish". - kk

Cookie cakes are NOT cakes! They are the lazy or cheap persons way of not providing a real cake. I cant believe people actually pay for these disasters!! :)

Something about that big thumbnail grosses me out more than the mess ups.

"Roxy, I'm not sure if you're giving this Wreck the thumbs up or if your injury prevents you from giving it the finger."
I laughed out loud - thank you.
At least Roxy got a nice manicure for her birthday. Fun! - September 28, 2008 at 3:19 AM

Is that unbaked corn meal in the shape of a star? And just what were the letters made of before? I won't even say what I thought it was...:D
And I agree, it just is not the same as a cake, no matter how they try to say it is. It's just a big cookie with icing.
www.goinggreenaccidently.blogspot.comwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww - September 28, 2008 at 3:46 AM
I have read this blog from the first post to the last! Hilarious!
I think the weddingcake with the green lines is "the best", together with the lionman (can't remember his name).
Keep on going!! - September 28, 2008 at 7:22 AM
- Dea said...
I'm consistent - it's not a cake! It's a giant cookie gone wrong...
Though - a frosted chocolate chip cookie from Mrs. Fields??? Oh goodness - soooo good. But you can buy them small there....
This one's sad all the way around... - September 28, 2008 at 8:19 AM
- ElizabethC said...
I don't think it's fair to come down on the people who ordered it. For all we know the birthday girl asked for a cookie cake. Same with ice cream cakes, I always ask for one for my birthday because I love them. But I do agree the outcome of this particular cookie cake is quite...well....wow.
- September 28, 2008 at 8:29 AM
- Ros said...
No, no, no! Surely the bandaged hand belongs to the decorator who bravely struggled on to complete the birthday, sorry, birtday cookie.

- Victoria at Figuring Out The Details said...
I have to admit my mom always told us kids happy "birtday" (and she would sing it as she said it to boot) so I would not have been particularly surprised to see a cake with that message on it for me.
But everything else? Wreck-tastic. - September 28, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I just found your site today... and I am sitting here LMAO! My husband is like... are you OK? I love it, and I will be checking this out more regularly! Thanks!

This is Sara--the buyer of said cookie cake. Thanks so much for posting this, the birthday girl was ecstatic when she found out!
- September 29, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Thanks for the explanations.
I've never seen a cookie cake in Australia...maybe it's just an American thing.
I do love bikkies, but not as a cake :) - September 29, 2008 at 6:13 AM
To all you cookie cake haters, when my brother and I were little, we *requested* cookie cakes from our mom because they were soooo much better than plain old cake. And she made them from scratch and decorated them herself. I still have fond memories of my birthday cookies. So don't be hatin' on the giant cookies!
This one, though? Wow. Even my mom who had no cake decorating training whatsoever could do better than that. - September 29, 2008 at 1:10 PM
ah ... Ha.... HAHHAHAHAHA!!!
Awww Roxy I'm sorry it wasn't as fantabulous as we'd all wish for you .. but ... damn funny ...

I like how they fixed the word "happy," but left the worth "birtday." I wonder how they screwed up "happy?" When I first saw this cake, I didn't realize it was a cookie cake and I thought it was one FLAT cake, lol.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
