The Advantages of Utilizing Branded Water in Advertising Your Product
One of the best ways to make your item recognized by people, brand exposure is required. Men and women will remember your company or brand more once they see your merchandise more often, or if they find great advantage of what you offer. Among the recommended means to boost the popularity of your merchandise is by getting promotional branded water.
Nowadays, firms are purchasing a product called branded water to enhance the company's profit. Utilizing this item will enable you to improve your company's earnings because the coverage of your target market was broadened. Still, you cannot just offer promotional branded water without considering a few things.
The very first thing that you must consider before releasing branded water is determine who your target customers are. The very best time to distribute promotional bottled water is in big events where there are large groups of individuals gathered in one place. As what have mentioned, one way for people to be knowledgeable about your brand is through exposure. Aside from that, if it so happens that there are some interested investors present in the celebration, chances are your assets will increase.A great way to get started on your research might be if you head over to branded water where you may read more about that.
It is crucial that you select an appropriate logo that will best represent your company in your promotional branded water. The look of the manufactured branded water must simply be associated to your company and also the event and the target clients. It must be original yet not weird-looking. When your promotional branded water is made close to perfection, then folks will simply remember it and will find it worth-sharing. Your brand might also get attention from other people when they see your branded water carried or drank by some people. Promotional bottled water is also effective in keeping your clients loyal to your products.
Adding a theme or message helps as well. Promotional branded water with a catchy adage on it will help your company in getting more awareness. Even so, some businesses add themes or motifs to their promotional bottled water which make them suit to any occasion.
In offering promotional bottled water, you should be equipped with a huge supply. There's no need for you to worry in terms of the costs. Promotional bottled water production is much cheaper than radio or television advertisements. Plus, you may even get a discount because the price of production of promotional branded water is often lowered when done in bulk.
One must be hands-on in readying branded water or any other related products. With these things in mind, you are one step closer to maximizing your business' profits.

Good Time Stove Company is not making outright purchases at this time.
Below is a collection of useful ideas to help you sell your antique stove.
2. Antique shops and stores in your area. Look in the phone book under "Antiques" and also "Appliances." Do a local business search on Google maps by using these categories. Call stores and inquire as to whether they buy antique stoves. You can arrange for someone from the store to drop by your home, or you can bring the stove to the shop. Call the businesses and mention what type of stove you have and the year it was produced. Describe any unusual features, such as a clock, timer or special finish. An interested business may ask you to email photos, so take digital pictures of your stove from as many angles as possible, including close-ups of any imperfections such as scratches or dings.

Tell Cesar Millan to be a "pack leader" and stick up for ITV producers!
March 7, 2014
Just this week, ITV Studios, the company that produces Cesar Millan's new show Cesar 911 for National Geographic Wild, reported that in 2013 they posted a 27% increase in profits. ITV Studios says it expects to continue raking in more profits in 2014, even as they look to expand through acquisitions.
The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) recently conducted a survey that indicated that ITV Studios, like many other reality and nonfiction production companies, has been generating these profits by extending the work week and not paying overtime to the freelance producers on these shows.
By not paying overtime, ITV has been able to withhold an average of $30,000 per year from each freelance producer they employ. That's money ITV now admits could have been paid to hardworking freelancers, but instead chose to keep for themselves.
Now they are bragging about the windfall of profits they've generated off the superior programming that their freelancers created over the years. Those freelancers not only have no stake in that success now, they likely were denied some of their fair share of it while they were working.
ITV isn't the only violator, but as one of the more successful and profitable production companies in New York, and one where freelancers have chosen to unionize, they should be setting a good example for the rest of the industry to follow.
Cesar Millan can help by standing up for the legal rights of his producers and associate producers to be paid overtime. Let him know that you'd like to see him stand up for what's right.
Click on this link to loan your Twitter or your Facebook feed this Friday for a Thunderclap action. Join with hundreds of other union members, writers, producers and supporters as we take to social media during the premier of ITV's new show, Cesar 911, and ask Cesar Millan to support the men and women who make his show!
And join us Friday night at 9:00 PM on Twitter to tweet support for ITV producers on the #cesar911 hashtag.

Adrian Bertolini's curator insight, August 22, 10:56 PM
School is an enterprise that is premised around hope and purpose. In order to truly engage with the operation of school, a child has to believe that there are reasons and purposes that make sense and has to have hope that school will lead somewhere desirable

The best leaders don't shy away from facing hard truths – and they never stop learning.
Amy Melendez's curator insight, June 21, 10:18 AM
The old structures reflect a tired concept of teaching as the delivery of information. As new research provides new insights into the workings of the brain, schools need to be completely rethought to embody new concepts of learning.
Smith_Lin's curator insight, July 10, 6:08 AM
Well worth remembering this when constructing a study skills programme

Leadership is not just about BEING the leader. It is not just about pushing people to step it. It is about being partners with the human beings who surround you to empower them to grow and develop
steven cessario's comment, August 18, 4:31 PM
I think school can get in the way of giving young people the opportunity to find themselves or enjoy learning. Grades can inhibit a student to actually learn the task or because they're concerned more about the grade. And schools can force student to read books and do certain work they're not passionate about. Although, I think a lot of schools are adapting to new ways to teaching.
Adrian Bertolini's comment, August 18, 8:51 PM
Just had a conversation about grades with a secondary college yesterday. When the students become more focused on that then learning then we know we have erected a barrier!
Adrian Bertolini's curator insight, August 22, 10:54 PM
Transformational leaders harness the power of the community and create opportunities for parents and students to be the leading voices as advocates for change.
Adrian Bertolini's curator insight, August 14, 5:53 PM
When I have worked for people that have taken the time to care for me personally, my loyalty to them is unwavering and sacrifice is simple. Those moments that we simply "check-in" with one another builds that trust daily, and often forges the team. This does not happen without great leadership constantly building trust with individuals to create a strong team
Adrian Bertolini's curator insight, August 11, 4:51 AM
Do you use digital portfolios with your students? WHY NOT! Great tool for knowing your students and for students to know themselves!
Nancy J. Herr's curator insight, June 22, 2:04 PM
Design how you will measure success toward your goals, then do what you can to see you move toward them.

This is an essential question for 2014-2015 MakerSpace and 20% project.
Ron McIntyre's curator insight, June 8, 4:46 PM
Some excellent material for all leaders to take to heart. Inspiring Trust is critical!
Mikko Hakala's curator insight, June 1, 11:44 AM
Excellent table reminding about the difference between projects and project based learning. Projects are too easily assigned as exercises to students, without paying attention to the issues on the right hand side of this table.
Pin it for later: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/318981586080452762/
Catherine Smyth's curator insight, June 2, 7:43 PM

The Friends of Mercyhurst Art Show – one of the largest and most eclectic exhibits on the Erie art scene each season – now fills the first floor corridors of Mercyhurst University's historic Old Main. It will remain on view through March 30, 2014.
Mary Gamble, wife of university President Thomas Gamble, Ph.D., assembled the first Friends show in 2006 during festivities surrounding her husband's inauguration. The exhibit has grown each year and this year's 8th edition features about 150 works by nearly 70 Friends of Mercyhurst. They include faculty members, alumni and diverse artists who share the school's commitment to keeping the visual arts a vital part of its environment.
"People come out of the woodwork when we start planning this show," Mrs. Gamble noted. "Everyone wants to be part of it."
The position of honor – the alcove at the west end of Old Main – goes this year to a group of artists and longtime friends since high school. Deborah Sementelli, Jonilee Monola Hlusko, Janel Potratz Levin and Jay Scalise have created a mixed media installation titled "Cherished," which incorporates antique wedding dresses from the collection of the late Lillian Zimmerly, lovingly restored, with art works based on details from the dresses, a Victorian pump organ donated by Jay and Darby Scalise, and masses of dried flowers.
In another show tradition, the exhibit actually begins outdoors, where a massive garden arch created by metal sculptor Evan Everhart was installed over a sidewalk leading to Old Main. It's titled "Oh Beautiful."
Some of the featured artists have long-established relationships with Mercyhurst and have been represented in many past shows. Watch for enchanting driftwood sculptures by Brian Pardini, pastels by Fran Schanz, oils by Joyce Perowicz and Tom Ferraro, mixed media by Jesse & Ricardo, and more.
Other exhibitors are showing at Mercyhurst for the first time, like Amanda Paproski, who's showing both an assemblage titled "Walnut Creek Fish" and a photo; Lena Logvina, showing copper jewelry pieces; and Oat Rattanakorn, showing photos.
The show also features a number of unique works, including several colorful mobiles made from pool noodles by David Seitzinger and elaborate glass-beaded pieces by Barbara Thomas Yerace, including a dress she made to wear to an exhibit on American glass blowing at the Smithsonian Institution.
Displayed outside President Gamble's office is an amphora, an ancient Greek vase recovered from a shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea. Undoubtedly thousands of years old, the piece has been donated to Mercyhurst by the family of Sam A. Novello, according to geology professor Scott McKenzie.
John Vahanian's pencil drawing of Erie's 15th Street railroad tracks is framed by a wooden window that once looked out on the actual scene. Woodworker Neil Donovan salvaged the window (complete with decades worth of grime on the remaining glass) from the artists' studio building at 1505 State St.
The youngest artist represented this year is college student Caitlin Gleason, daughter of Mercyhurst dance faculty Tauna Hunter and Michael Gleason, who's showing an acrylic "Skull Study."
Faculty works on displays include ceramics by Tom Hubert, a mixed media piece by Daniel Burke, a collage by Mary Elizabeth Meier, and color photos by Gary Cardot.
Several artists featured in the Friends show are also taking part in an exhibit opening Nov. 16 in Mercyhurst's Cummings Gallery. Works by John Bavaro, Ron Bayuzick, Brian Pardini, Suzanne Proulx, Fran Schanz, Deborah Sementelli and Jesse & Ricardo will be part of "Reused, Reclaimed & Repurposed."
Well over half the works on display have been donated to Mercyhurst, adding to a permanent art collection that's nearing an estimated $1 million in value. Even after this show closes in March, the collection will continue to be displayed in public areas throughout campus where students, employees and visitors can enjoy it, and be inspired by it.
The Friends of Mercyhurst Art Show is open for public viewing weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. while school is in session.
For more information about the show, or to arrange a group tour, contact Mary Gamble at 814-881-4123.

i LOVE R. ZOmbie's solo work so i thought for sure this would get my rocks off…WRONG! thunderkiss 65 and black sunshine are awesome songs but the other songs are filler material. skip this disc and get R. ZOmbie past, present and future cd.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
The album that introduced mainstream America to one of metal's most beloved bands, White Zombie's "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1″ is a tour de force of heandbanging ghoul rock. Songs like "Thunderkiss '65″, "Black Sunshine", "Soul Crusher", "Thrust!", and "Grindhouse (A Go Go)" fully display the growl and campy lyrics of Rob Zombie, the grinding guitars of J., and the pumping bass and drums of Sean Yseult and Ivan Deprume respectively. I still remember thinking how mind boggingly cool White Zombie was when I had first heard them when I was a kid, and as much as I loved their follow up (and what proved to be their last studio album) "Astro Creep 2000″, "La Sexorcisto" remains my favorite album from this much missed band. Forget most of Rob's newer material, this is the real deal.
White Zombie was the first metal band that I really started to listen to with both an objective & subjective ear. The only other bands that existed at the time with the same "WOW" factor were Pantera & Pre-Black album Metallica, but this CD still tops those other bands due to the ingenious use of sampling and stunning guitar lines.
I concur that the production quality on this disk is not the best, but it was their first major label record so I will let it slide. (Metallica's "…And justice for all" probably has the worst production on an otherwise great record that I have EVER heard.)
The tracks that I like best are not the radio-friendly ones: Soul Crusher, I am Legend, Cosmic Monsters Inc. & Warp Asylum are the best I believe. Thunderkiss & Black Sunshine are good, but suffered from overplay over the years. Welcome to Planet MF is also a standout track with a great breakdown at the 4:06 mark. "Soul Crusher" has a very clever opening guitar lick that meandors the listener into the main verse. "Cosmic Monsters inc." is my favorite track on the album and it probably features the best arrangements and guitar work on the album.
This brand of "Trash rock" (as it was aply named) is not for everybody…Zombie's lyrics are barely discernable at best and some of the sampling is over-used. With that said, however, nothing sounded like this band in 1992-nothing really came close. The drumming alone on this album is some of the best of the early nineties as well. It was a shame that Ivan DePrume (the drummer on this album only) got canned after it was released-I loved this guy's fills.
If you don't own this album, get it immediately-it is a must have for hard rock or metal fans.
This is one of my favorites. So many grooves and solid jams. I gave it 4 because the mix is very weak. Sean's bass is inaudable, and the fidelity of J's guitar could have been stronger. However, these song's take you to a strange place and time and flow in and out of each other seamlessly via samples and sound effects. I miss these guys. This album makes your modern shock rockers look like total posers. If you dig Sabbath, older Metallica and Alice in Chains, you'll get alot out of this one.
Lemme guess? You went ahead and bought Rob Zombie's "Hellbilly Deluxe" before splurging on "The Sinister Urge" a few years later, right? And I bet when a friend handed you Astrocreep 2000 and claimed that you weren't a hardcore Zombie fan until you heard it, you probably had to change your shorts.
Of course, that means you probably have no idea what this album is.
Just look at it.
It's NOT Rob Zombie and it's NOT Astrocreep 2000. La Sexorcisto is the begining of the marriage of old, thrashy, unpleasant (but still classic) "Make Them Die Slowly" with the off-beat, pop-shock that would go on to make Zombie the ringleader of his own twisted circus of a solo career.
This is an album full of epic, desert-redneck road rock and it lopes and guns like metal should. Rob Zombie's digital meddling is nowhere to be heard on this album, and to be honest, you probably won't like it all that much.
This isnt' Dragula and it doesn't even pretend to be. This is big-time rock in a form that's almost too pure for a record with production this clean and riffs this crazy. I give it a five because I love it.
You might not.

Traditional thinking on automated manual transmissions has it that AMTs are the great equalizers – bridgers of skill gaps between the best and the worst drivers in the fleet. While that's still true, AMTs now bring even more to the fuel-economy table, offering fuel savings in their own right beyond what even the most professionally driven manual transmission could accomplish.

Pilots soar over
"If you look at it a little bit closer, out of the 10 matches we contested, we won six. If we don't give up those 18 points in forfeits, it's a ballgame; we would have ended up coming close to winning, if not winning," said Van Wert coach Ben Collins.
Along with the three voids at the bottom, Andy Hammond (126), Jacob Crisenbery (132), Quinton Rutkowski (138) and Ryan Stoller (145) each fell. From the 152-pound class and up, however, the Cougars went 6-1 with the void at 170.
"The kids wrestled well. We knew we didn't match up really well down low - we had freshman on their seniors. They didn't match up well with us at the top; that evened things out," continued Collins.
Senior Jordan Daniels moved from the 170-pound spot to 182 and recorded a pin.
"We pulled a move there at 170 and 182 to get us six more points. Technically, we gave up 24 points to them (in forfeits)," Collins explained.
The highlight of the night was the four Cougar seniors each pinning their opponents.
"The four seniors: Daniel Thompson (152), Jordan Daniels, Colten Royer (160) and Terrin Contreras (285), all won by fall. So we got 24 of our 33 points there. Royer was up 6-0 and pinned his kid. Daniels was up 15-0 and pinned his kid. Terrin got a quick takedown and a fall.
So, they came out ready to wrestle and did a great job," explained Collins.
Thompson fell behind 8-2 in his match before reversing his opponent and pinning him.
Gabe Hill picked up a win for Van Wert in the 195-pound class and Zack Thomas won the 220-pound weight class bout.
"Right now we're sitting in the middle somewhere. We're 4-5 in (WBL) dual meets. If you look at three of them, it came down to those forfeit points. If we could turn it around and flip it, then we're in the running for a league title," Collins said. "Individually, I think we've got a good shot to place in the middle, maybe in the upper half. Not having a full lineup is going to hurt us again because it is a small tournament. There will be kids there who are picking up points who probably wouldn't if it was a full tournament."
Contreras won the 285-pound WBL championship last season and will be the early favorite again. The season has been a milestone one for Contreras, who picked up his 100th win last week and the falls record earlier this season.
"He got the 100 wins and he's got a bunch of pins," added Collins. "He's well over 100 wins now and he's in the mid-80s with pins, which is kind of impressive because for his sophomore and junior year, he split a lot of time in dual meets with Jimmy Hardman, so he didn't get as many matches as he could have. He's in a position now where he could get the single season falls record."
Royer is nearing the 100-win mark as well and Collins explained that having a tournament cancelled in Celina last weekend hurt him in pursuit of the milestone.
Though the other two seniors aren't as decorated, Collins and the Cougars expects much from them, starting this weekend in Elida.
With the game tied at six early in the first period, Terra Crowle nailed a 3-pointer to give Crestview a 9-6 lead. The Archers and Knights traded two points at the end of the first stanza with a basket from Antwerp's Annie Miesle and two foul shots from Lindsey Motycka. Crestview had an 11-8 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Lady Knights built on their advantage to start the second quarter as Crowle made another 3-pointer and Emily Bauer got two layups to give Crestview a 21-11 lead.
Antwerp got two got foul shots from Alexis Jones but the Lady Knights countered with another layup from Bauer to keep the advantage at 10 and send the score into the intermission with the Lady Knights leading 23-13.
The Lady Archers got two 3-pointers to start the second half, one from Jones and the other one from Avrial Sawyer. After two more made foul shots from Jones, the Lady Knight lead was cut to 28-21. Crestview got two got foul shots from Bauer and a layup from Mariah Henry to push its advantage up to 32-21.
Sawyer sank another 3-pointer before the end of the third quarter but unfortunately for Antwerp, Crowle got fouled and knocked down both foul shots to make the score going into the final period 34-24, Lady Knights.
Crestview started the fourth stanza with a 6-0 run, including four points from Bauer and two from Motycka. The Lady Archers called a timeout with 6:14 left; out of the break, Cheyenne Miller-Sweet made a basket to cut the deficit to 40-26. After the hoop, Crestview went on a 9-2 run to push the advantage up to 49-28. The Lady Knights got four points from Motycka and two from Henry. Antwerp finished the game on an 8-0 run, getting four points from Kaiya Jemison and four points from Jones, but it was not enough.
Jones led all scorers on the night with 17 points. The Lady Knights had two girls in double figures: Bauer had 15 points and Motycka added in 12.
"Well, I thought we got off to a slow start; I don't think we played with the intensity that we need to. No matter who you are playing, you've got to come out and play your game and play hard," said Crestview coach Greg Rickard. "I thought we didn't play with a sense of urgency or very intensely in the first half. Offensive, we were able to score a few points in the second half and defensively, that's something that we need to continue to grow at the defensive end."
The Lady Knights improve their overall record to 16-1 on the year. The Lady Archers drop to 3-14 on the season.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

10 PS4 Games That Were Bestsellers Before Even Being Released

Since game design is a business, I decided to see what's really selling well for the PS4. I did this search a week ago, and at the time, out of the top 20 bestsellers on Amazon 10 had not even been released yet. By now some have been released. But others still have not. And yet others...

Post subject: GaymerX2
Just wanted to point out that the kickstarter for GaymerX2, the LGBT friendly gaming convention, is about to end and you can still donate to it and get the discounted badge pledge (the 20$ and 10$ discounted one are sold out, you can still get the 5$ one for 65 bucks).
If ya plan to be in SF this summer, ya got 4 hours left to get the cheaper badge before it'll go back to its regular 75 bucks price. And if ya do get it in anyway, let's met up!
Edit: forgot the link!
Also, 3 hours left.

Sometimes I think I want to create a parody . StraightmerX
I wouldn't really want to focus on the basis of gender or sexual orientation for a gaming convention.
I understand some gamers face discrimination and thankfully "Straight allies are absolutely welcome!"
I think you should donate if you support it. I just find the concept a little bit silly.

"Why isn't there a white history month?" "Why isn't there an international day for MEN?" "Why isn't there a straight parade?" "We are all human beings, there's no need to add a ledge here with your personal issues!"
We hear this every time in SF by outsiders, there is no need to add it here too.
What's sillier then a gay and trans friendly convention, soudeez, are big conventions that claims to be "open for all" but just don't treat LGBT people the same respect as straight cis people or flat out ignore when they are mistreated or harassed. Or speakers that claim they "respects the gays" but then will say the LGBT community isn't that significant for the video game industry and they need to shut up as the audience cheer before them like some sort of Televangelist rally. Meanwhile, that one nerdy gay kid in the sitting row among the clapping hands will feel as foreign there as he is walking down the street of his bible belt hometown. Quite frankly, I got enough of witnessing second class nerds being asked to shut up so the real nerds can disrespect them properly.
All we backers want is a convention where people just don't throw the word "Fag" around like it's a used condom. A place where people just don't laugh at transgenders behind their back or get outraged or roll their eyes when they see their gay fan art. A place where when you tell people to use your prefer pronoun, they will actually respect that right away instead of asking "Why" and laugh at your face. A place where game makers can show off their LGBT games without making it a "political issue". We just want a place where Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Pansexuals just come together and share their passions about video game without hiding their identity in fear of reprisal and public shame or without being stated their sexual orientation is something "exceptional". We are fed up of hearing "Why?", we want people to just answer "Yes!". Apparently, asking for all that is too much for any regular convention. If to achieve that place we gotta make our own convention, GaymerX, then by the vogue queens of
Paris is burning
we will make this happen!
For me, it doesn't sound silly. It sounds like a dream finally coming true! Last year it happen without a hitch with lots of support from big game developers and celebrities speakers. Quite frankly, i want it to happen every year!

I still hold that it seems silly, including that things have gotten so bad that it is necessary. Which can be agreed on that it is necessary. Thinking something is silly doesn't always mean you think it is wrong.
This is the U.S. Freedom of speech and expression means everyone can have a convention so long as you don't hurt anyone. If people want to see the convention yearly, I hope they donate, continue to attend, and contribute.
I don't find anything wrong with the idea for a international day for men.
I will leave this thread now. Best of luck.

It's silly it has to happen, I agree with you here. But it's not just cause things are bad, it's mostly cause people just don't want to see the issues. They actually think everything is fine and the LGBT community are just "full of it" and want to cause drama.
And trust me on this, this got nothing to do with Freedom of speech. We've been calling out the bulls*** in conventions and talk panels for 2 decades now and we still are shrugged off to the side by the gaming community. This is our response to people protecting their "freedom to remain ignorant". The same ignorance that's been hurting all of us as much if not more then actual homophobes and transphobia. Last year, there was a panel at GaymerX trying to figure out why the gaming media just ignores the LGBT gamer issues. What was said there was pretty insightful. I hope we'll tackle more on this this year cause talks like these could be our way to make a safe and respected environment everywhere else.

Is everything not fine in the US or something?
Because if all i had to go on was what i've seen at gaming shit locally, the general consensus for LGBT is a resounding 'whatever' and then people continue to pretend to be polite while waiting to try out the latest console/games. There's no 'HAHAHA! LOOK AT THE GAY' or any of that bullshit. I was under the impression that the US was like that these days too.

I'll say again that I think "gaymer" is a super unfortunate moniker. I have a pet peeve for forced portmanteau words in general, and that is an especially ugly one. I'm surprised that's what they named the convention.
I think the con is cool though. I hope if it gets funded that GR covers it and participates in it as much as last year.

Lien, what reality do you live in dude?
Or speakers that claim they "respects the gays" but then will say the LGBT community isn't that significant for the video game industry and they need to shut up as the audience cheer before them like some sort of Televangelist rally.
I'd love to see video or transcription of this.

Seriously guys? Welp, before i head to sleep, here is a small list of (some still touchy today) subjects regarding LGBT issues within the gaming community and industry from 2009 to 2014:
Jamie Durran's lawsuit against Microsoft's staff homophobic behavior, The PA guys and their numerous transphobic remarks online and on their talk panel still defended by their fans (and no, not talking about the dickwolves, they got a bigger rep sheet then that), The Pax's "Diversity lounge", the 2011's Blizzcon controversy, The Old republic "gay world" controversy, Dragon crown's art director calling his critics who pointed out his women designs as "men lover" (and even gave to a kotaku writer some art of naked dwarves as a "gift"), Various Indie dev's sexuality and transgender identity put to question and humiliation when a controversy is set around them like for some of the people behind gone home and depression quest, same goes for reviewers like Carolyn Petit, the oh-so-many online gamer behavior when someone gets outed as LGBT during matches and the lack of punishment afterward that still continues to this day despite the effort to prevent this, the banning of players if their name has "homosexual influence" (People can say F** and C***sucker online and just get muted but they can't have "homo" or "gay" in their name because children), and so much more... All that is just in the gaming community and industry. Yes i am aware most of these got addressed at the previous GaymerX and got resolved with a sincere apology, still doesn't change that it still happened and gets repeated under different names again and again to this day.
And i am being nice here too cause i could also add in popular anti-LGBT flash games, Blog sites that is linking Bioware's LGBT subject as the reason for their downfall while calling for people to sign a petition to fire the gay writers and the various LGBT convention goers' testimony of how they got humiliated and harassed at PAX, E3 and comicon. But apparently, that last part doesn't count cause Blog-sites are too personal to be counted as news. Just like how i am not saying my own personal experience i witnessed in conventions and gaming stores over here in the U.S and in Europe(My god Europe has
in the same regard too, don't you dare dismiss it) cause i got dismissed as a guy who bring controversies when i bring that up online or in public. No, not talking here at GR, you guys are honestly really nice <3 . But fellas, really, just because you saw some gay guys being shy about their gaming purchase and quickly leave the store without saying a word, doesn't mean everything is ok in the gaming world for him. I am not living in my own reality, people just live in a bubble and can't take the issue seriously for being ignorant it existed in the first place. Not blaming the victim for being quiet, just the people spectating the horrors in silence.
All that and i am not even touching on how LGBT are presented in video games (You know,
S*** like this
this blast from the past
Look seriously here, i mean didn't you guys really not know about any of this or are you just too lazy to look it up yourself? Did you even just google "Homophobia/Transphobia in gaming community" or just went to Gamepolitics.com and just look up the subject tab for "LGBT issues"? Or heck, went to any big gaming site and search that subject there? Kotaku? IGN? Gamasutra? Joystick?
Or how about gay friendly sites like Gaygamer.net or The Border House? Or even just freaking GLAAD? (i recommend
this link
but it's pretty long and from 2009)
Like do you all think LGBT gamer are ok with the situation right now? From what i personally saw, it seriously needs more work even with all the progress made recently. Heck, even workers from big companies like EA, Microsoft and Ubisoft agrees on that too. Some of these guys even received awards for their LGBT contribution in both their games and workplace and they still continue to say everyone needs to do more! Sorry gang, things are not ok. GaymerX needs to happened with or without your approval of its name and quite frankly, i am fed up for apologizing on behalf of other people's bigot behavior.
And used, there is too many for me to list and make a brief recount where a crowed laughs and applauded at homophobic/transphobic remarks made from the host both online and in public in regards to LGBT issues, but some events i saw developed as it happened on top of my head: The spike awards' "
Wario has not undergone sex reassignment surgery
" joke, Comic-con's
onstage sexual and homophobic harassment
of MariNaomi (though that last one was at a comic talk panel but i was there when it happened in San Diego, didn't know it was an issue till it was brought up)... Oh and
this gem from PAX
about a panel that got taken down just in time but then Mike Krahulik had to open his mouth and well... just read the article.

I did know of a few of the examples you linked, especially the Mike Krahulik stuff as I've kept a pretty close eye on the controversies surrounding PA.
But you can't just make stuff up.
The stuff I didn't know about, I'm glad you're sharing (well, not
, I think you're an unreadable blowhard), but I'm glad GaymerX can be at the forefront of bringing these issues to the spotlight. If it becomes an annual event, then it gets more coverage by the larger news outlets.

Gaming and society in general has been a lot better towards the LGBT crowd than it has been in the past. That is not to say that there isn't more progress to be made. There is always going to be a segment of people that are never going to be ok with it. Just like there is always going to be a segment of people that are racist or homophobic or misogynistic or xenophobic or in some cases, all of the above.
So these types of things are like safe havens for the people attending where they can just be themselves and not have to worry about what other people are going to think or say.

I'd love to go along with some of your points, lien, but for your side of the case you posted a link to 'badtransjokes.tumblr.com'
I can find offensive shit for any demographic i want, too. Doesn't mean there's a massive issue surrounding it that's so bad it needs a big-ass convention.
Why not have specific zones around other places like E3 and pax and shit to talk about this issue? Wouldn't that sorta thing, making regular con goers stop and think about it, be a better tactic to take?

Why would i bother to do any of that? Why go out of my way to search around to see if there's an issue present? If there was one, you'd think people wouldn't need to go to gay-specific gamer sites or fucking tumblrs to find out about it.
I don't go out of my way to check out all the disabled-based gamer sites out there. I'm sure there's tons of people fuming about the portrayal of people in wheel chairs or with mental disabilities in video games, does that make us lazy for not wanting to out of our way to check out their concerns? Does that make their concerns any less relevant?
The biggest problem with all this is bunching LGBT people all into 1 group, because then suddenly we have way too many issues to try and deal with at the same time. Are we talking about gay people getting shit at conventions, which i know for a fucking fact isn't a thing, or are we talking about transsexuals getting shit which is quite possibly an issue and needs to be addressed?

We know that French women don't get fat, now here's the skinny on their pedicure: According to Hollywood celeb pedicurist Carla Kay (clients include Gwen Stefani, Kerry Washington, and Diane Keaton), reverse French pedicures are hot for spring and summer 2011—but with a twist. First comes a coat of soft pink or nude. Then the tip is painted on with a surprise color, like turquoise, dark pink, or sunshine yellow. "Wearing brighter colors will get you ready for open-toe-shoe weather," Kay says. "Have fun with colors, so it's like you're wearing jewelry on your toes." Paint yourself into a pretty corner with trendy summer hues like eggplant, orange, yellow, turquoise, and hot pink.

There has been an awful lot of attention focused on the National Marine Fisheries Service's efforts to put in place a national registry of salt water anglers. Those who like to put a negative spin on it call it a federal salt water fishing license. What this interpretation overlooks is that this new data collection program can provide valuable information that will play an important role in the future of recreational fishing, which is changing as we speak.
For as many years as I have been involved in fisheries issues, recreational interests have been saying - no, screaming - that the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey was not properly measuring the recreational catch and that it should not be used as a management tool. Everyone agrees it was never designed as a management tool, but since it was the only game in town, it morphed into one of the measurements that managers have been using. Many felt this was a problem, and it appears they were correct.
Well, be careful what you ask for because all of our screaming got NMFS to hire the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council in 2005 to conduct an independent review of NMFS recreational data collection programs. Early in 2006, the NRC released its findings and announced that the MRFSS had some serious problems and basically needed to be rebuilt from the foundation up. So out of the ashes has risen a new phoenix, which is called the Marine Recreational Information Program, and like it or not, MRIP will determine our fate for the foreseeable future. The salt water registry is only one part of this program, but both are now federal mandates.

Latin music encompasses a huge universe of sounds. If you are just venturing into this universe, the following article will provide you with a brief introduction to the most popular Latin music styles. From the vibrant beats of Salsa to the never ending innovation of Latin Rock and Alternative music, the following are today's most influential Latin music genres. If you are already a fan of any of these styles, you can vote for your favorite genre HERE.
Salsa is one of the most popular Latin music genres in the entire world. This vibrant rhythm is the result of several musical influences, which include traditional beats from Cuba and Puerto Rico and other styles such as Mambo and Latin Boogaloo. Salsa owes its names to this amazing combination of sounds. Although the birth place of Salsa has been always an issue of debate, we can say with confidence that New York City was the spot where the original sound of Salsa was finally achieved.
- Important artists: Celia Cruz, Fania All Stars, Ruben Blades, Hector Lavoe, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Gilberto Santa Rosa, La Sonora Poncena, Marc Anthony.
Originally from the Dominican Republic, Bachata is one of the most popular Latin music genres today. Although the making of Bachata music started back in the 1960s with the songs produced by Jose Manuel Calderon, this rhythm was not able to compete with the popularity that Merengue used to have. That, however, changed in the 1980s when Blas Duran reshaped the sounds of Bachata with more appealing lyrics and the addition of electric guitar. In the 1990s, Bachata finally took off thanks to the romanticism that was incorporated into its music. With the arrival of artists like Hector Acosta, Aventura and Prince Royce, Bachata music has exploded into a mainstream phenomenon that has captured audiences all over the world.
- Important artists: Hector Acosta, Juan Luis Guerra, Aventura, Romeo Santos, Prince Royce.
Regional Mexican Music
Considering everything that is included on it, Regional Mexican music is one of the most generic terms in Latin music. You can find here all kinds of Popular and Traditional expressions ranging from Norteno and Banda to Ranchera and Corrido. Regional Mexican music is one of the best-selling genres of Latin music in the US.
- Important artists: Vicente Fernandez, Espinoza Paz, Los Tigres del Norte, Gerardo Ortiz, Banda El Recodo, Jenni Rivera, Selena, La Arrolladora Banda El Limon, Marco Antonio Solis.
Thanks to its intensity and sensuality, Tango has become one of the favorite Latin music genres in dance halls all over the world. Originally from Argentina and Uruguay, Tango evolved during the 19th century in the immigrant communities of Buenos Aires. At the beginning of the 20th century, Tango moved into a mainstream phenomenon thanks to the music produced by Carlos Gardel, the King of Tango. Later on, a talented bandoneon player named Astor Piazzolla added to Tango elements from Jazz and Blues creating the so-called Nuevo Tango. Today, Tango remains one of the most distinctive ingredients of Latin music.
- Important artists: Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazzolla, Gotan Project.
Merengue is another of the musical gifts that Latin music has received from the Dominican Republic. A favorite genre to play in any Latin music party, Merengue is one of the most exciting genres in Latin music. The origins of Merengue can be traced back to the 19th century. Throughout history, the sounds of Merengue have been modified with the incorporation of different instruments. In the 1980s, Wilfrido Vargas changed the tempo of the traditional rhythm shaping the sound that has characterized Merengue ever since. For the past decades, the songs of Juan Luis Guerra have become a point of reference for Merengue music.
- Important artists: Juan Luis Guerra, Wilfrido Vargas, Eddy Herrera, Los Hermanos Rosario, Elvis Crespo, Olga Tañon, Los Vecinos.
Latin Pop
Latin Pop is one of the most popular Latin music genres today. Some of the biggest Latin music stars in the world belong to this genre. However, before the arrival of artists like Shakira and Ricky Martin, Latin Pop was defined by the romantic music that legendary artists such as Julio Iglesias and Roberto Carlos produced back in the 1970s. Latin Pop represents the biggest chunk of the popularity Latin music enjoys today as a mainstream phenomenon.
- Important artists: Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Juanes, Ricky Martin, Ricardo Arjona, Paulina Rubio, Luis Miguel.
Latin Urban Music and Reggaeton
Borrowing influences from music styles such as Hip-hop, Rap and Reggae, Latin Urban music has experienced significant changes during the last two decades. From the original sounds of the Reggae fusion created by Panamanian artist El General to the Reggaeton fever of the late 1990s, Latin Urban music has continued to evolve into a complex genre that includes all kinds of Tropical rhythms, Pop and Dance music. Some of today's best Latin Urban artists are also some of the most popular Latin music stars in the world. Latin Urban music is definitely one of the most exciting Latin music genres today.
- Important artists: Daddy Yankee, Calle 13, Don Omar, Wisin y Yandel, Ana Tijoux, Pitbull, Chino y Nacho.
Brazilian Music
If I previously said Regional Mexican music was a generic term, Brazilian music is probably the most generic term that exists in Latin music. Brazilian music is, in fact, as big as the country itself. From Samba and Bossa Nova to Sertaneja and Brazilian Popular Music, Brazilian music has delivered some of the most famous Latin music songs in the entire world. Top Brazilian artists include legendary stars like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Joao Gilberto and Marisa Monte.
- Important artists: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Giberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Roberto Carlos, Marisa Monte, Chico Buarque.
Latin Rock and Alternative Music
In general terms, the development of Latin Rock has been influenced by the development of Rock music. However, it was only until the 1980s that Latin America was able to come up with a defined musical expression associated with Rock music. Back in the time, it was known as Rock en Español. Since then, however, Latin Rock artists have started to incorporate all kinds of traditional Latin music rhythms into their music. As a result of this, Latin Rock has become the force behind the development of today's Latin Alternative music. Latin Rock has influenced Latin Alternative music in the same way Reggaeton and Hip-hop have shaped Latin Urban music. Today, Latin Alternative music offers the most interesting non-mainstream music in the Latin music world.
- Important artists: Mana, Calle 13, Soda Stereo, Cafe Tacvba, Andres Calamaro, Aterciopelados, Juanes.

Now that the election is over, it's time to mend fences. Not between political parties – we're talking about the rift between you and your Facebook friends.
It happened to Ray Cortez. He got tired of seeing mean-spirited political rants on his news feed. And he wasn't shy about speaking up, in the comments.
Cortez says he has actually lost friends over it.
"To the fact that people defriend me because I don't agree with them politically or philosophically? That's fine, it's only Facebook. I'll get over it," Cortez told FOX 26. "But what does that say about our society?"
The Houston Press' Jeff Balke has written often about the good, the bad and the ugly of political spleen-venting on social media.
"Many people that I know have sort of discovered a new side to their friends," said Balke, "one that they really didn't anticipate that they'd have."
But Balke now offers a solution: you can copy and paste his "Open Letter to People I Un-Followed During the Election," which makes amends for campaign-related disagreements.
Just fill in the blanks, Mad Libs-style, to fit your particular situation and then send it off to your frenemies.
You'll find the Open Letter here:

NEW ORLEANS—Republican U.S. Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao has more money in the bank than the two Democratic state legislators who want to challenge him in this year's election in Louisiana's 2nd Congressional District.
Cao listed nearly $360,000 on hand in his latest Federal Election Commission filing. Richmond had $250,000; LaFonta, more than $30,000, according to The Times-Picayune.
In another Congressional race, New Iberia's Jeff Landry has more than $378,000 in cash on hand as he prepares for the Republican primary. Fellow Republican Hunt Downer was a late entry in that 3rd district race but his campaign reports raising $274,500 already. The only Democrat in the 3rd District race, Ravi Sangisetty, has more than $280,000 on hand for the general election.

"Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others."
~Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
By MO LINQUIST
Contributing Writer
I began my day this morning very selfishly. I redeemed a gift given to me by my daughter-in-law's sister, Rebecca Niamtu – a massage.
I say "selfish" because that is what I was erroneously programmed to believe in days past. As a wife and mother it was important to take care of everyone else around me first and if there was anything left over, then I could do for me. What a bunch of bologna! Even US Airways knows better than that as they tell you to put YOUR oxygen mask on first before helping your children.
You are no good to anyone else if you have passed out, fainted or pushed yourself to the brink of exhaustion.
And so my week began with the strong yet gentle touch of Becca's gifted hands. As I laid on her table I felt connected to HER belief that the path to wellness is through balancing one's body, mind, and spirit through yoga and massage therapy.
Her intention is to help people heal themselves by blending eastern energy modalities and western therapeutic techniques.
Since her move to the island seven years ago, she has taught yoga in various locations on and off the island and recently became licensed in the state of North Carolina to practice massage.
She custom designs each session for her clients' particular needs, from Swedish to Deep Tissue, intuitively incorporating energy modalities and essential oils. During my session I asked her to pay particular attention to my feet to continue strengthening and healing from last year's surgeries.
Another belief that Becca shares from her soul is "think globally act locally" as she brings her community together on their yoga mats.
She says, ""Gradually over time and without realization, I fell into a practice where self discipline had united with an extreme sense of freedom. Yoga offers us a way into ourselves physically, as our joints become lubricated and our muscles lengthen.
Yoga will increase blood flow and soothe our nervous systems while improving our balance, stamina, and lung capacity. As a result we will sleep better at night causing us to be more alert during the day. Yoga unites our body with the cosmic spirit of our hearts, which is what unites us to each other, and to the planet. It brings us back to the simplicity of our breath and the depth of our connection to each other, as we discover out true nature, which is limitless and not bound by our bodies……By clearing out what does not serve us we make more space for our dreams to move into fruition." Sounds like good feng shui for the body to me. Contact Becca at 910-228-3412 to set an appointment or go to her website RebeccaNiamtu.com.
I feel rejuvenated and refreshed and ready to press forward for this week. I have begun taking care of me first. I am not selfish. I am connected to myself, to my community and to the world. xo mo
