@MittRomney told "Fox News Sunday" 'that Obama should stop "berating" Republicans.
What a joke…Republicans BERATE themselves!! As you can see with Mittens, NOTHING has changed! If he wanted to gain ANY creditability, he would have sat down with @maddows or, @Lawrence and had a REAL TRUTHFUL one-on one conversation about bridging the divide in the GOP, or how he wants to assist helping congress work with the President for the American people!
But instead Mittens, has NOT changed… Same old RHETORIC being spewed 3 months later!!! He DIDN'T come out of his rabbit hole with REPENTANCE, or tell his Party to get their act together! Or, think about the American people, etc. etc., that would have been the ETHICAL thing to do…but we ALL know Mittens has zero ETHICS or INTEGRITY!
So in old Romney fashion, he chose to LIE and BASH the President of the United States, blame the media…instead of his parties incompetency! Mitten 's arrogance is just one of the many reasons President Obama WON… and the reason Mittens sits on the outside looking in… and rather sorely I might add!!
Food for thought: Mittens, KARMA…is a BITCH! You should have learned from YOUR EVIL ways!! In "2014" "We the People" are coming "NOT" for the few sane Republicans left, but for the crazies who are repeatedly destroying our democracy!!
"We the People" see right through the GOP SMOKE and MIRRORS!! "We the People" have OUR PRESIDENT'S BACK!!! "We the People" Black, White, Latino, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Gay or Straight, Sane Republicans, Democrats, Progressives, Liberals are going MARCHING to the POLLS in "2014" and "2016" to let our VOTE speak for itself!!
"We the People" DIDN'T want YOU in "2012", and "We the People DON'T want this Washington Obstructionist Congress!!!!
Fasten YOUR seatbelt Mittens…like the election, YOUR NOT going to enjoy this ride!!! In the voice of the Ohio Players" Can YOU say…..ROLLAR COASTER!!! #UniteBlue

Wine Spectator
"This is an impressive Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is a dense ruby purple. The bouquet offers up tight but promising aromas of minerals, smoke, and black currants. A Bordeaux-like austerity greets the taster, but as with Bordeaux, there is plenty of density and concentration in reserve, which is particularly noticeable on the back of the palate. The wine is pure, promising, tannic, medium to full-bodied, and nicely extracted. Chewy tobacco, spice box, and black fruit characteristics emerge with airing. It is good to see this winery turn out a wine of this quality. It's an ager however, and patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018."

Arnica for Hair Loss
Arnica's benefic properties have been long praised by both naturalists and medical staff. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, arnica extracts, creams and ointments have been prescribed for treating open wounds and different types of scars and skin conditions (including acne and acne scars). In hair care industry, arnica extract is used for exterior treatments, mainly incorporated in shampoos, conditioners and hair oils. Arnica extract prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth through its direct action on the hair follicle, as well as through its action on the scalp and hair strands. Let's explain each one of these actions for a further understanding of arnica's benefic results in the fight with hair loss and alopecia.
Hair Growth with Blood Circulation
Arnica extract used directly on the scalp increases local blood circulation. This results in more oxygen and nutrients for the hair follicle which can effectively support the hair strand. If the hair is in the growing stage, the hair strand is nourished, healthy, shiny and the chances of shedding are close to none. Furthermore, the overall aspect of the hair is improved. The hair follicles which are in the resting phase are stimulated to "wake up" and produce new hair strand faster, thus stimulating hair growth in areas affected by massive shedding.
Arnica acts as antibiotic for any scalp condition and eliminates dandruff by regulating the sebum production. Furthermore, it acts as a shield against UV rays, protecting the scalp and hair strands from sun's invasive actions. Premature graying prevention, hair root strengthening and scalp nourishment are also attributed to arnica extract, when used on a regular basis.
Our site also offers you with a variety of articles and free hair loss advice. Our informative articles can help you make some of the complicated decisions associated with purchasing products. Our featured article looks at the differences between natural hair loss treatments and various herbal remedies.

|Best Experience In My Life
by Richie using Herbal-H Advanced Hair Regrowth Spray
Ordered Herbal-H six months ago, got it and ever sinced I've used it, it has changed my life. Really a product that delivers miracles and is easy to use. I've regrown about 20% of my hair so far so good!
|Working Hair Loss Treatment
by Stephan using Provillus Hair Growth Pills
Provillus has helped me maintain my existing hair as well as trigger new growth. I have been using this product for about 10 months now. I've used numerous products in the past with no luck so I decided to try these pills.
Provillus started working in just about 3 months of usage and it really was noticeable first that I stopped dropping so much hair.
|Procerin rocks!
by Randy using Procerin
Procerin was the only product I needed to use to regain my hair. I was not losing much hair so the sooner I started the treatment the better. Now I use Procerin to keep my hair strong and thick. So happy to find this product!
|Best Hair Loss Treatment Hands Down
by Prashant Shah using Herbal-H Advanced Hair Regrowth Spray
I have never seen such technology that actually works, in less than 1 month I already began to see new hairs growing on my scalp. This is amazing, I was losing hair for more than 20 years, can you believe it? Herbal-H has allowed me to look like myself again. Thank you so much!
|Not Sure If It Works
by Craig using Scalp Med
I have been using Scalp Med hair growing products and I have to say I don't think there is much results. Although it still may be too early to tell, I think I will use it for another 6 months.
|You won't believe your eyes
by Anders Madeus using Herbal-H Advanced Hair Regrowth Spray
Dear hairgrowthreview.com, I am writing to you to let you know that I have found a product that works wonders, it is called Herbal-H. This product has regrown my hair entirely covering my forehead hair line and completely covering a bald spot in my crown area. This is truly the best product in the world! I recommend it to anyone missing hair!

Why go to Spices new Astor Place location instead of the others? Well for one, its BYOB (a liquor license is expected within a week, but you know how that goes). And for another, the menu (as we showed you earlier today) is vastly expanded, with new fried rices (spicy green curry, hot chile sour) and noodles (Massaman crispy, Malay, tamarind cashew nut). This location will be open Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. till 10:45 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. till 11:30 p.m. We cant reproduce the electronica/house soundtrack, but check out our photo gallery to see what Spices hip-happenin interior designers have done this time around.

Microsofts latest advertising ploy, in the UK:
- Walk the red carpet of a world premiere;
- Go on safari with a professional photographer;
- Visit the Home of the Future at Microsoft Campus in Redmond.
News source: Microsoft Prize Draw
Microsofts latest advertising ploy, in the UK:
So how did they get the things in the first place to offer them as prizes now, if money can't buy them?
By offering buttseks?
Honestly, I wouldn't want them queers in my house even if MS paid me. BRING ON MAIDEN!!!!!!!!
Money can't buy it, but Microsoft can apparently. :P
1: u can run down a red carpet in a carpet store :P
2: u can go on a safari and buy your self a camera
3: why do i want to go visit the "future" site for MS :P
Not the "future" site for MS... The "Home of the Future" at the Microsoft Campus. It's their SmartHome. I've seen it, pretty interesting indeed, worth signing up for this alone IMO.
Oh, and "All the good stuff is for the UK. Why can't us US people get any MS love?" (I just had to)
got an error when i was taken to the entry page after seeing the wow thing
OK, enough with the whiners who say that everything is US only.
I'm in Argentina, I'm never eligible for any sweepstakes by most companies, but they suuuuuure as hell do sell their products down here...

We said a couple of weeks ago that Jeep put their pickup-truck project on the back burner for lack of available funding. Well, today Mopar released details on its JK-8 Kit, which enables owners to transform Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup.
The kit can be ordered through Chrysler dealerships, and you can either get the job done there or bring it all home and do it yourself. Major components include a steel bed, inner and outer bedsides, sport bar extensions, Freedom panel assemblies, a fibreglass hardtop and a bulkhead. It is all shipped in a Mopar-stamped wooden crate and includes instructions for assembly.
The JK-8 Kit is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty if the conversion is performed at the dealership. The MSRP for the package is $5,499 USD, and doesn't include labour.
"New Jeep Wrangler owners typically spend more than $500 on Mopar accessories", said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar. "For Jeep Wrangler Unlimited owners, our new Mopar JK-8 kit answers the call for even more radical customization. And it's yet another example of how Mopar will continue to support our brands with innovative features".

And that's all for today, folks!
Today, a horrible thing happened in my country. Someone set off a bomb and killed two people (as of this blog posting) and injured countless others.
Everyday, I must work. We all must. But my heart, today, is not in it. I have tears in my eyes and I only want to scream at the evil people who think they can get their way or make a point by taking someone else's life or injuring an innocent child.
I do not want to speculate on who or what (truly "what" is the more applicable term) would do such a thing. Early reports on these types of things are seldom accurate, and I do not wish to spread rumors that may make a bad situation worse.
But work I must, even if I cannot find it in my heart to create a new image for sale or write a tweet or blog about something else. So, today, we will just look at designs I created that use the USA flag and make me feel that I can honor the innocent in some way.
Today's blog post is dedicated to those that were injured or killed in Boston. Please pray for them.
Yes, you can buy these designs. Just click on the image and it will take you to the product.
This design is only available at ameriwear.flagnation.com or www.zazzle.com/flagnation/gifts?cg=196981339879944345.
USA Angel Hats by flagnation
The design above, or a similar angel, is available in all most of my shops, zaz.flagnation.com, ink.flagnation.com, and ameriwear.flagnation.com. The design below is also available in the same shops.
Currently, the design below is only available here or printfection.com/flagnation/USA-Flag-and-Name-Brick-Wall
Thank you.
Please pray for the people of Boston.
National Flag and Name of Country
I love making these designs because they are a bit out of the ordinary. Rather than just the flag alone, I add the name of the country below, and color (or colour) the word to match the flag. It is time-consuming to make, sometimes, depending on the flag, but it is fun to do and a bit creative.
Today we will look at four such designs on a Men's Deluxe Hooded Sweatshirt. The hoodie is USA made and printed. To purchase click HERE or on the picture below.
Next we have Colombia, with matching flag and name. Just for fun and to share lots of pride in your heritage, too. This design has no border on the letters or the flag.
To purchase, click on the picture underneath or HERE.
Our next adventure takes us to Jamaica, where both the flag and the word are surrounded by a grey border. That's the only way the black parts of the flag will show on a black hoodie!
To buy this lovely item, click on the picture below or HERE.
Our last adventure takes us to the Seychelles. Whether you are Seychellois or just love all the beautiful colors (colours), this will always be fun to wear. It is one of my favorites.
To purchase, click HERE, or on the picture below.
That's all for today. You can see all the flag designs available in my INKtastic shop at ink.flagnation.com
St. Patrick's Day Stuff
St. Patrick's Day will soon be upon us, so I thought it would be fun to share a few more of the shamrock flag designs. They are great fun for family reunions, and just for celebrating your American, Irish and (insert other ethnic group here). These are all found at flagnation.com. All design are available on many, many products, so you can find just the right thing.
First up, we show the English Shamrock, with the flags of USA, Ireland and England. This is the one President Barack Obama would wear, as he is of both Irish and English heritage on his mother's side. Although, he would probably prefer a tee shirt or tie instead of the lovely necklace below.

Next, we show playing cards for family fun. These show the Australian Shamrock for those whose Irish ancestors came to the USA via Down Under.

Life's Most Important Choice
- Tuesday, January 01, 2008
Yesterday morning I was in a hurry to get to work and was doing about 70 miles per hour when I sailed past a patrolman. I'm not sure he noticed me. Or perhaps he did notice me and even recognized me and decided that it was "Be Nice to a Speeding Pastor Day" and let me off the hook.
But suppose the patrolman had turned on his lights and siren and stopped me. He would have reminded me of the speed limit for that stretch of road, then informed me to what degree I had violated that, as well as the penalty for such a violation. He might then have continued, "Although I should throw the book at you, I'm going to let you go this time. However, if I ever catch you speeding again …" But before "forgiving" me of my violation and deserved penalty, he would still have made it clear what that violation and penalty were.
Before we can properly forgive another person, we must accurately access what he or she owes us.
When you think of the word forgive, does someone's name immediately come to your mind? In addition to identifying exactly what that person had done to you, I encourage you to calculate the debt he or she owes you for that wrong. Be severe as you think you need to be.
"Because of your affair, I should divorce you."
"Because of your negligence, I should sue you."
"Because of your actions, I should prosecute you."
Remember, offenses always create obligations.
True Forgiveness Releases our Offender of His or Her Obligation
Only after we've identified the offense committed and calculated the debt owed can we truly forgive the other person. Remember that the word "forgive" means to release another person of his obligation toward us, as Joseph did. Instead of giving his brothers the death sentence they most certainly deserved, he formally released them from their debt by giving them a new land that they did not deserve:
"And you shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have (Genesis 45:10).
In the same way, there needs to be a specific time when you formally release your offender of his obligation toward you. Whether or not you choose to voice your forgiveness to your offender, you can express it to God. Visualize in your mind the person who has wronged you. Admit to God that you've been hurt — deeply hurt — by what he or she had done to you. Calculate what that person owes you for the offense: money, separation, divorce, jail, or maybe death. Finally, let me encourage you to pray something like this: "What ______ did to me was wrong, and he should pay for what he did. But today I'm releasing him of his obligation to me. Not because he deserves it, or has even asked for my forgiveness, but because You, God, have released me from the debt I owe You."

Experiencing LIFE Today - June 28, 2012
Are you completely complete?
"A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished." —Zsa Zsa Gabor
My wife is not Jesus. But even after being raised by a pastor, going to Bible school, and graduating from seminary, I believed she was Jesus. You probably think your spouse is, too. Really. I lived quite contentedly with Jesus when I was single. But after we married, I expected Libby to do in my life what only Jesus is capable of doing. It was a recipe for disaster.
Lie number 3: Your spouse will complete you.
If you believe this lie, your thoughts might sound like this:
- I need someone else to fill the empty places in my life.
- If I find that person, my loneliness will be gone and I will be whole.
- The right person will complement me. They will be strong when I am weak.
- Etc., etc., etc…
You can go on believing that fantasy if you want, but the truth is this: Your spouse will NOT complete you; your spouse will complicate you. If you are single, trust me on this one. If you are married, you can stop nodding your head right now. One of God's purposes in marriage is to use our spouse to reveal our flesh patterns, selfishness, and sin. If you are looking for true love and affirmation, only Christ will complete you.
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.–Ephesians 3:14-19
As we come to grips with the love of Christ, we find fulfillment in Him, and then we get to delight in the relationships we have been given.
All I can say is that it works for Libby and me. When we walk in the Spirit, rather than the flesh, we really see Jesus as our answer, Jesus as our power, Jesus as our strength, and Jesus as our love. When we see ourselves as completed in Christ, all the pressure is lifted off one another, and we actually start delighting each other.
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. —Colossians 2: 9-10
Father, show me where I am depending on others to complete me, rather than receiving my completeness in Christ. Refocus the expectations I place on others to complete me. I know I was designed to be filled by You! Amen.

PrestaShop themes would be a huge niche IMHO . There is a good sales potential for premium themes. But really premium. Otherwise it wouldn't work.
NuclearThemes says
PrestaShop is a great ecommerce platform but there's very few people making themes for it. Look at the themes section of PrestaShop's site for example. I'd like to see the PS community grow and maybe having its own category is the best way for that to happen.

If you love procedural stories that involve dense, complex plotting and layered characters, Connor should be at the top of your must-read list. Over her last half-dozen books, she's solidly built forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon and the team that surrounds her. In this new book, Diane unearths lots of proverbial skeletons in a closet. A perfect piece of entertainment!
When one of the museum's archaeologists, Dr. Marcella Payden, is attacked in her home, Diane and her crime-lab team attempt to process the scene, only to be attacked in a return visit by the perpetrators. The only things taken are paintings and some pottery, which begs the question -- what were they after?
Diane also gets involved in a pro bono case involving the killing of a young woman determined to prove her brother was falsely convicted of murder. Police call it autoerotic asphyxiation, but Diane can tell it was murder. (OBSIDIAN, Aug., 384 pp., $7.99)

'Stay up too late at night and sleep too long in the morning'
My story …
58, single, long term unemployed - two years. Formerly middle management making over $100k / year.
My search …
· Recruiters - they must be very busy pounding square pegs into round holes because they don't return my emails or phone calls.
· Big search engines - useless. Better to put your resume into a bottle and toss it into the Pacific, someone will get back to you!
· Networking - dried up. Besides your friends and former constituents are not hiring.
· No current prospects.
My Life …
· Stay up too late at night and sleep too long in the morning
· Drink way too much. Way, way too much.
· Unemployment benefits exhausted.
· No health insurance - but three hospital visits in the past year.
· Stare - stare at the computer screen, stare out the window, stare at your image in the mirror, stare at the ceiling fan.
· Skills eroding - that happens when there is no intellectual activity.
· Social life - none. I'm no fun.
· Sex - none. Women would sooner hear you have Hepatitis then learn your unemployed. Besides there is no T & E budget.
· Living off cashed out 401k's. Mortgaged the future.
· Depressed - big time.
· Think suicide every day.

Earlier today, EW revealed that the Man of Steel and a certain Amazon princess are the Justice League's new power couple. Though Lois Lane isn't romantically involved with Superman in DC's "New 52″ continuity, the news has still left Metropolis's most famous reporter feeling curiously sad. Want proof? After distracting Lane with a fresh pint of ice cream — thanks for the idea, Jon Stewart — we managed to swipe a page from her very secret diary. The following entry has been reprinted without her permission. We think Lois would understand, though; sometimes, a writer's gotta do what she's gotta do.
Dear diary,
As a rule, I don't wallow. After all, I'm Lois Freakin' Lane — Pulitzer Prize winner, Daily Planet Executive Vice President of New Media, possessor of perfect hair. I can cover superheroes fighting alien monsters in my sleep. I eat annoying interns for dinner. I am, generally, so awesome that I couldn't find anything to wallow about even if I wanted to. But something happened today that's given me a serious case of melancholy — even though there's no reason it should.
While preparing myself for another late night at the office, I looked out my window and saw a strange sight: Superman, Metropolis's golden boy, engaging in a mid-flight makeout session with some chick in a star-spangled bathing suit.

How to Organize Your Dream Kitchen
Say goodbye to clutter and unnecessary mess with these easy-to-follow tips
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Who hasn't watched cooking shows and envied the perfectly organized and well-designed television kitchens? Without a dirty dish to be seen and so many cleverly placed pots and pans — not to mention the spice cabinets! — these spaces can fill home cooks with jealousy. One day, one day…
But those overstuffed drawers, old spice jars, and overcrowded cabinets in your current kitchen just scream "organize me!" And, to be perfectly honest, having a clean and organized pantry makes cooking a lot easier and saves time in the kitchen. Instead of scrambling around for that unlabeled jar of cayenne or ground coriander and sniffing each one, you can simply pull open a drawer to reveal perfectly arranged (and labeled) spices.
Yes, to get there takes time and effort, but once that initial investment is made, the rewards are limitless.
We asked the brilliantly organized folks behind California Closets for their tips on creating the perfect kitchen. While not everyone can afford their services — put it on the wish list — we can follow their tips to make the best out of our current kitchens. For their tips and advice, check out the How to Organize Your Dream Kitchen Slideshow.

Another one idea to have well organize dream kitchen is by adding huge large cabinet with clear tick glass or fiber glass type door so everything you need in your kitchen are all organize inside at one place. If you already have kitchen cabinet, change your door with those type or choose your desired one, see this door shop at Bay Area, San Francisco, you can find variety of doors you need for your kitchen cabinet.
It would never across my mind to use Califonia closet for organizing the kitchen..
My basement kitchen is very organized. Everything I need is within reach.

AT Asia: Minimalist Modern Japan
Wow, I thought my minimalist modern tendencies had faded away since my days in college studying to become an architect (perhaps architects prefer minimalist designs so as to eliminate drafting production work). But then every once in awhile I see a residential structure like this and I think I might be able to live in a concrete box...
The big box, known as the House kn, is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan and designed by Kazuyasu Kochi and Mana Kochi of Kochi Architect's Studio. Also below is their Shinkawasaki Infill condominium, which has a stunning white washed interior space with a most curious crawl space only reachable by ladder. More of their residential projects here.
4 Comments
This works for me. I've ALWAYS loved minimalist, white and black.
Ah, yes, imaginary homes by architects. I love these. It's like looking at art. It's not real, but it looks great.
No one actually lives in a space like this in Japan. It looks a lot like the kind of "model homes" they put up to show off future condominiums. They make a building which they show off for several months then tear down once they've sold enough units. It's immensely wasteful, but does sell people on the notion that they can buy into some pristine and tasteful space which will in no way match the real experience of living in the place.
Re:perhaps architects prefer minimalist designs so as to eliminate drafting production work.
Yeah - not so much. To provide a minimalist detail, an architect usually has to spend MORE time drafting (as I sit here drawing a minimalist detail).
Oh the irony.
"...perhaps architects prefer minimalist designs so as to eliminate drafting production work."
Sure, sure. Those lazy minimalists are always taking the easy road by deconstructing complexity to expose the fundamental and the essential... the good-for-nothing bums.
Why can't they recognize that 'more is better' and just add more stuff -- like thoughful, intelligent hard-working architects do?

Pwnmeal Extreme Gaming Oatmeal
PWNMEAL Extreme Gaming Oatmeal was a prank that Cards Against Humanity played at PAX East 2014. We created a fake "extreme oatmeal" brand and distributed sixty thousand packets of instant oatmeal with Cards Against Humanity cards inside to attendees of PAX.
Cards Against Humanity has been exhibiting at PAX East with Kickstarter for three years now, it's our favorite gaming convention.
One of the special things that we do for each PAX is write a new pack of about a dozen Cards Against Humanity that we call the "PAX Pack," which every attendee gets in their swag bag. This has become kind of a tradition at PAX, and there's even these ad hoc stations that pop up around the convention center for people to collect and trade the new cards.
But as much as we love writing and giving away the PAX Packs, we hate that it's become expected; the PAX Packs are the most fun when they're surprising and delightful, not when people just expect to get free cards from us.
The Idea
Pwnmeal was born on the evening of December 15th, 2013, when I tweeted:
Our events manager Trin saw this, and replied:
I wrote back:
And then Kris Straub sealed the deal:
And the rest was history:
When we got back to the office on Monday, I took a break from 12 Days of Holiday Bullshit (that was the day everyone received "5 Cards That Have Nothing To Do With The Holidays") and got on the phone with our manufacturer in China to find out about making packets of oatmeal for PAX.
We knew from the beginning that we wanted everyone at PAX to get a packet of extreme instant oatmeal that we'd design to be as over-the-top as possible. The idea really came together once we figured out that we should put the Cards Against Humanity "PAX Pack" cards inside the packet of oatmeal as a surprise; we thought that was the best punchline possible to the joke of the oatmeal, and also a truly surprising and delightful way for attendees to get the PAX Pack that kind of recaptured the excitement of the first time people were surprised to find free cards in their swag bag.
There were a few pieces of the oatmeal opening experience that became really important to us.
- First, the joke just wouldn't have been as funny if it was some kind of dumb viral marketing for Cards Against Humanity; we wanted to really create confusion as to what exactly PWNMEAL was. My dream was to create the illusion of an extreme oatmeal brand so convincingly that people would throw their packets out, and then go digging in the trash for them later when they realized that there were Cards Against Humanity cards inside.
- Second, we wanted to heighten the surprise of finding the cards in the oatmeal as much as possible, which meant we had to really sell the idea of an extreme gaming oatmeal. We didn't want anyone to know that PWNMEAL was associated with Cards Against Humanity until they opened it up.
- Third, I wanted the cards to come loose in the oatmeal, covered in oat dust - I didn't want them in a foil pack or any packaging. It was just funnier that way.
- Finally, we had to get these packets into the U.S. with FDA approval, and they had to fit into the convention center's strict rules that ban giving away food. This was a big design challenge that we solved in two phases. Phase one was to ship the empty, printed packets to the U.S. and fill them with about an ounce each of good old domestic U.S.A. oatmeal here, so we didn't have to worry about FDA import policies. Phase two was to hope we didn't get caught by the convention center. In total, we ordered three tons of quick rolled oats and created about 60,000 packets of instant oatmeal. (Someone from the convention center food services department did come over to our booth looking for us, but it turns out he was just a fan and wanted to give us cupcakes).
Since Kris Straub had the original brilliant idea for the PWNMEAL name, I worked with him and Mikey Neumann (of the Chainsawsuit Podcast) to design the packs and write the copy.
Mikey came up with many of the flavor names in an email chain:
Kris designed the PWNMEAL guy on the front of the packet, who's kind of angry cyborg version of the Quaker Oats man:
I wanted to evoke that early 1990s comic book thing where all characters are angrily shouting at the reader. I imagined an executive at the meeting giving notes that it's "not cyber enough." It feels like it's a little too smooth for how gritty it wants to be! But I think that's a concession that got made in the 11th hour. "Can he be menacing and family-friendly?"
Advertising (Digital)
We knew that in order to really "sell" the PWNMEAL brand, we had to create a major brand presence at PAX like any big sponsor of the show would do, except we had to do it without spending any money (because PWNMEAL is not actually a sponsor or even a real product).
The first part of this was PWNMEAL's internet presence. Long before PAX, Jenn, Trin, and Claire from Cards Against Humanity set up the PWNMEAL Twitter account and started developing its incredibly obnoxious voice. Claire writes:
The voice of @pwnmeal is one of a 23 year-old male who just got hired as a social media associate and is extremely dedicated to the Brand. @pwnmeal only follows a few rules: all caps all the time, hashtag whatever possible, and everything is extreme.
The less a hashtag makes sense, the better it is.
The tweets started from a Google Doc that Trin put together and Trin, Jenn, Max, and I added to. The account started quietly started generating exciting content on February 19:
And pwnmeal was born.
Tweets were scheduled to go out about every three hours during PAX East (using Hootsuite, just like our imaginary social media man would do). In addition to that, Mikey, Kris, and Jeff Gerstmann had access and were tweeting throughout the convention.
The night before PAX, I got together in the lobby of the Westin hotel by the convention center with Kris, Mikey, Jeff Gerstmann, and Patrick Klepek, and we created the PWNMEAL.com website.
Kris buried his head in his phone and wrote the best part, the flavor descriptions:
This was my favorite part!! The whole thing is littered with gaming references just within the reach of the copywriter but rotated a few degrees into unnatural territory. It's hard to make strawberries bad-ass, so we have to describe them as "gibbed." I love the marketing constraint of having to describe how awesome a product is, while having to hit a bunch of notes from legal, and it can't be more than 40 words. It leads to the densest, most forced copy imaginable.
Advertising (Old School)
The second part of our ridiculous advertising campaign was to assume the role of real sponsor of PAX, with ads on the giant video screens, banners throughout the convention center, and an extreme street team giving away oatmeal.
After months and months of begging, ReedPOP exhibitions (the company that runs PAX) agreed to give us a free 30-second video ad spot on the giant screens that ran once every twenty minutes. The only problem was that they gave us the ad spot only a month before PAX, so we really had to crunch to make the video.
We approached our friends at Digital Kitchen, a creative agency in Chicago, and, to work around our extreme time and budget constraints, they put together a proposal to shoot in their basement with local CrossFit trainers that an account executive was friends with.
For reference, we sent over a Calvin Klein cologne commercial with black and white models moving in extreme slow motion. Digital Kitchen rented a RED Cam and a crew, and recorded everything at 300 frames per second at 4K resolution to achieve the dramatic look we wanted.
An early version of the commercial cut between shots of the body builders and a more "nerdy" model (our photographer Jeremy, who took the photos above).
Although Jeremy's shots were the funniest part of the commercial, we ultimately cut them, because we thought it gave away the joke too soon.
We also wanted signs placed throughout the convention center, but we knew we would never get permission for them, so we just had them printed the night before at the convention center Kinko's and then set them out in the main entrance a few minutes before the doors opened to the public. I figured that only a handful of people at the convention would know that the signs weren't actually supposed to be there, and that they would be too busy to take them down.
Surprisingly, the signs stayed up until the very end, and we let fans take them home.
For our Extreme PWNMEAL Street Team, we worked with a group of Enforcers (PAX's amazing volunteer organizers) who were in charge of line entertainment to give away thousands of extra packs of PWNMEAL, which turned lines to get into panels and events into trading stations for the Cards Against Humanity PAX Packs.
Working on PWNMEAL was a ton of fun, and a great collaboration with Kris and Mikey. Kris said:
This was a dream to work on. I don't think I'm better suited to any kind of project than poking holes in bad advertising. If this could be my full-time job, I would quit comics.
PWNMEAL was covered by Kotaku, GameSpot, AdWeek, and many other blogs and advertising news sites.
Some people met PWNMEAL with skepticism and anger, and perhaps even fear:
Other people got the joke pretty quickly, and started playing along with us:
Eventually people figured out the secret inside, and word spread:
So many people started tweeting to us that our account got banned on Twitter:
Some fans even made unboxing videos:
People started to find all the little inside jokes we hid in the packaging:
And also Mikey saw people going through the trash for oatmeal packets.

Nursing Home Reforms Desperately Needed
Corporate America pushes for big business with a heavy emphasis on high profits, and it is affecting nearly every aspect of our economy, from grocery stores to gyms. What many people do not know is that big business now owns most of the country's nursing homes, running the facilities like any other for-profit, investor-owned corporation. Nursing home attorneys at Pintas & Mullins detail these for-profit companies and how they have impacted the care residents receive.
HCR Manor Care, Kindred Healthcare, Genesis Healthcare, Life Care Centers of America, and Sun Health Care Group are five of the country's largest for-profit chains. These companies consistently staff fewer nurses, have the sickest residents, are cited for more deficiencies, and, generally, do not make quality care a priority.
Nursing home chains are expanding throughout the country, operating facilities across multiple states and reaping in profits. As this trend proliferates, these chains are also facing massive liability for their poor standards of care. Nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuits are filed on behalf of residents after they are seriously injured, or in many cases, killed by inadequate care.
Because corporate owners purposefully skimp on resources to boost profits, residents receive less time with nurses, who are so overworked and understaffed that they are physically unable to adequately care for each patient. This leads to wrong medications, frequent falls, dehydration or malnutrition, bedsores, or even elopement, when residents leave the facility without supervision.
Some of the most recent lawsuits receiving national media attention include a case in Maine where a resident was discovered to have maggot infestations in his chest wound. Another, in Syracuse, New York, involved a claim of sexual molestation. One nursing home chain in particular, Extendicare, is facing a $40 million settlement for illegal billing practices and substandard care.
Chains keep profits high and costs low largely by reducing staffing, primarily registered nurses, who can be costly to retain. Staff wages are also cut, putting immense stress on those working and causing resentment, fatigue, and stress.
One study found that the four largest for-profit chains, which were purchased by private equity firms between 2003-2008, were cited for more deficiencies after they were purchased. Nursing homes are inspected at least once per year by state officials. Deficiencies include poor sanitary conditions, resident mistreatment, infections, failure to prevent bedsores, severe resident weight loss, and other indicators that residents are facing harm.
This was one of the first studies to definitively link private equity acquisition to a decrease in resident care. The authors of this study point to the need for an increase in oversight and greater accountability, along with funding incentives and support for better staffing levels.
If you live anywhere in Illinois, you have seen the recent attacks on governor candidate Bruce Rauner for the role his own private equity firm, GTCR, played in an exorbitantly negligent nursing home chain. The chain, Trans Health Management and Trans Healthcare, is facing billions in liability after several resident deaths and consequent lawsuits.

Gidon Kremer: Defining an Ideal in Performance
Kremer has of course been one of
the most important violinists and musicians in the world, and it is hardly a
lightning bolt of inspiration or originality for me to point that out. But his
performances of the Sibelius Violin Concerto and Giya Kancheli's Silent Prayer, a work written to honor
Kremer on his 60th birthday and Mstislav Rostropovich on his 80th
-- sadly, the great cellist died before the piece was completed -- were so
immensely powerful in their individual (and often quiet) ways that I found
myself re-playing them in my head for days afterward. That doesn't happen very
often, so it led me to wonder just what it is about Kremer's art that makes it
as special as it is -- and what distinguishes him from so many other well-known
It struck me that his playing
represented an ideal for me. Not that I believe in any one specific
interpretation as the "correct" one, for I do not; in fact, I believe that
interpretive variety and differences are an extremely important part of the
live concert experience. No, what is
"ideal" about Kremer's playing is, first of all, the sense of deep conviction
and intensity that is a consistent presence in all he does. Never, in all the
years I have been hearing him, have I encountered a casual or "phoned-in"
performance, or one that was even remotely routine. That may sound like
something you expect from all artists, but in fact there are very few who are
never, ever guilty of that.
What Kremer plays is thoroughly
thought out -- every bar is conceived in relation to what went before and what
is coming after -- yet it sounds as if he's improvising it on the spot. It is
impossible for an audience not to be completely drawn in, caught up in the
moment, in a way that should happen whenever music is made, but sadly doesn't. I remember my frustration in my years
managing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when a well-meaning patron would talk
about how wonderful the experience was of coming to a concert after a hard day
at the office and just "letting the music wash over me, and relax me." Most of the music that we care about should,
in fact, do more than relax the listener -- and I would guess that it is not
possible to ever completely relax at a Gidon Kremer performance.
Part of this is because he is not
afraid to surprise. A surprising view of dynamics, of turns of phrase, of tempo
changes or relationships, a new way of hearing a particular passage -- all of
these things are constants with Kremer. Also constant is the internal and
deeply personal nature of his playing: You never feel that it is playing for
the sake of display, although he has a technique that would enable him to be a
show-off if he chose. He seems instead to be communing with the composer,
exploring the composer's world for you and for himself. He has more shades of piano and pianissimo than just about any musician I know. This adds endless
variety to his performances, and it also serves to draw the listener in, to
fully get your attention. Speakers are
often advised that the way to quiet a noisy crowd is not to shout at them, but
to start speaking very, very softly. That becomes a magnet for attention. So it
is with Kremer's playing. In the end, what makes it special is how deeply
personal his playing is, every time he plays. You never feel that this is a
musician who is fulfilling a contractual commitment to perform. Rather he is
sharing his deepest thoughts about the music with those fortunate enough to be
When you add to these traits his
musical curiosity, the variety of what he plays (and conducts with his chamber
ensemble, Kremerata Baltica), his devotion to composers like Kancheli, the
extreme variety of tone color and vibrato that he applies to everything, you
come up with an artist who, in my view, represents everything that is great in
the music we love. Having experienced it so vividly in
1 Comments
I too was at the NH concert and found the experience amazing. Gidon is a friend of a friend and we have met him twice personally and i would just add that he is a marvelous, friendly, warm, delightful person, as interested in us as we were in him. i would also add that after hearing Pincus Zuckerman play in Pittsburgh many years ago on what seemed to be not just automatic pilot with boredom, but with disinterest in and even perhaps disdain for the audience and their response, i decided i would avoid his performances in the future and have done so. in other words, you're exactly right. thanks....

YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms TypeTalk0

YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type
|Model Number
|Developed from
|Developed into
|First Seen
|Known Pilots
General Characteristics
|Pilot Accommodations
The YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type is a mobile suit featured in the original design series SEED-MSV and later appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Special Edition. The unit is piloted by Heine Westenfluss.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
As its name suggests, the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type (EFT) was designed to serve as a testbed for new mobile suit weapons designed by ZAFT, particularly those later used in the ZGMF-X09A Justice and ZGMF-X10A Freedom. Among the weapons is the prototype of the Fatum-00 backpack/subflight lifter later used by the Justice, which replaces the backpack thrusters mounted on the standard GuAIZ and is only armed with two beam cannons and four machine guns. The rail cannons mounted on the MS's hips are the same as those used by the Freedom, while both the two beam sabers and the optional beam rifle are the same models later used on both Gundams. Lastly, it mounts two 76mm CIWS vulcan guns on its head and is the first mobile suit build by ZAFT to have Phase Shift armor. The GuAIZ was designed before the development of the Neutron Jammer Canceller and as such is powered by battery pack. Due to this, the suit was unable to meet the energy needs of its PS armor and its energy intensive beam weaponry. When both systems ran concurrently, the MS only lasted for 5 minutes. The technicians later added an auxiliary power pack into the Subflight lifter but this only doubles the operating time. Later, when the suit was used in the Battle at Jachin Due, it was tethered to an external generator for longer operating time.
- MA-M01 "Lacerta" Beam Saber
- The only close combat weapons of the mobile suit, they are mounted on the hips of the suit and can be combined into a double-bladed beam saber.
- MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS
- Mounted in the GuAIZ EFT's head are two "Picus" 76mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. These light projectile weapons are mainly used for intercepting missiles and to destroy lightly armored vehicles.
- MMI-M15 "Xiphias" Rail Cannon
- same weapon as the ones on Freedom Gundam and are also mounted on the hips. They are useful for going through anti-beam defenses.
- MA-M20 "Lupus" Beam Rifle
- The upgraded version of GuAIZ's MA-M21G Beam Rifle. Typically held in the right hand, the beam rifle draws energy from the mobile suit's power plant to fire energy beams that are highly effective against conventional armor. So effective is the weapon that only a handful of shots are needed to completely destroy an Earth Alliance warship.
- MA-4B "Fortis" Beam Cannon
- A pair of rapid-fire "Fortis" beam cannons are mounted at the front of the backpack/subflight lifter, they serve as its main weapon.
- GAU5 "Volucris" Machine Gun
- Four "Volucris" machine guns are mounted on the backpack/subflight lifter, they are mainly used to shoot down incoming missiles or close enemy units.
Special Equipment and Features
- Backpack/Subflight Lifter
- Prototype of the Fatum-00 backpack used by Justice, it can be used as a remote controlled attack unit or used as a subflight lifter when separated from the suit. Unlike the Fatum-00, this prototype unit only has three thrusters and is armed with two MA-4B "Fortis" beam cannons and four GAU5 "Volucris" machine guns. The low number of thrusters proved to be inadequate and as a result, the thruster count for Fatum-00 was increased to six.
- Phase Shift Armor
- GuAIZ EFT is equipped with Phase Shift (PS) armor that ZAFT obtained from the four Gundams that they stole from the Earth Alliance. When equipped with the Neutron Jammer Canceller and nuclear reactor, it can use the PS armor much longer.
Only three of this testbed mobile suit were produced and all participated in the last battle of the first war. There were rumours that deployment of these units in the battle were unauthorized and carried out independently by their pilots. During the battle, all 3 units are tethered to external generators on Jachin Due and fought as a fix turret of sorts, as the energy intensive weapons expend the suits' battery power very quickly. One unit was destroyed by Athrun Zala in the Justice. Another unit was piloted by Heine Westenfluss, who fought against Morgan Chevalier's GAT-01A1+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Dagger, eventually overloading his machine and crippling it. The last known unit was destroyed by the combine efforts of Barry Ho's MBF-M1A M1A Astray and Jean Carry's MBF-M1 M1 Astray.
Notes & Trivia
- The story about the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type piloted by Heine Westenfluss appears in the comic Bonbon adaptation of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny while the last unit appears in the photonovel, Seed MSV Senki.
- The color scheme of the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type is similar to the ZGMF-X999A ZAKU Mass Production Trial Type , likely hinting at their shared purpose to evaluate new weapon systems.

Jack Klugman: 5 Things You Might Not Have Known About Him
Posted By Patrick Kiger On December 25, 2012 @ 10:05 am In Legacy | Comments Disabled
Jack Klugman wasn't the handsomest actor in Hollywood, nor the most dashing. But as producer Garry Marshall once noted [1]: "He had what you need more than anything else in television – likability. Audiences would want Jack Klugman to walk into their living rooms once a week."
[2]That ability to connect with audiences on the most basic human level made Klugman, who died on Dec. 24 at age 90 [3] in Los Angeles, into one of TV's biggest stars of the 1970s and early 1980s. He had not one, but two hit series. In The Odd Couple, a sitcom that ran from 1970 to 1975, he inhabited the role of slovenly, gruff but somehow charming sportswriter Oscar Madison so thoroughly that he almost made people forget that the great Walter Matthau had originated the role on Broadway and the big screen. From 1976 to 1983, he starred again in Quincy, M.E., in which he portrayed a tough, principled medical examiner who battled with his boss in the interest of justice.
Here are five things you might not know about Klugman:
