Not really a fan of these but I went with Orko, Mantenna, She-Ra, Sorceress and Mer-Man.
Shadow Weaver
Queen Angella
Ram Man
King Randor
Kobra Khan
Moss Man
Other (please explain)
Comic Images has made Super Deformed Plush "Dolls" out of He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, Beast Man, and Trapjaw. If they were to make more, who would you like to see be the next 5 characters?
Not really a fan of these but I went with Orko, Mantenna, She-Ra, Sorceress and Mer-Man.
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
Orko, Mer-Man, She-Ra, Hordak, and MAA.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I TOTALLY want them to do Swift Wind. The Battle Cat plush is my favorite of the ones released so far, and he's hilarious. SW would be as well
My choices:
Swift Wind
Shadow Weaver
A Want List of Sorts: Peekablue, Saurod, Veena, Calix, Evilseed, 200X Head Pack, Mara, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Snake Mountain, Prahvus, Ceratus, King Chuboolu, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.
Orko, Imp, and Grizzlor would rock. I threw in Kowl and Kobra Kahn as humans don't translate as well as creatures do.....although Mer Man slipped my mind and I would prefer him to Kowl.

My Sales Thread: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...-FT-WTB-Thread
These have won me over - I was keen at first.
I voted for Evil-Lyn, Orko, Man @ Arms, Mer-Man and Hordak - these will likely all be based on Filmation too.
MOTUC WISHLIST- Karg ~ Crita ~ Despara ~ Fang-Or ~ Kittrina ~ Darius ~ Veena ~ Lodar ~ Hunga The Harpy ~ Great Black Wizard ~ Staghorn ~ Lady Slither ~ Artilla ~ Ra-Jarr ~ Major Header ~ Vultak ~ Evilseed ~ Prahvus ~ Queen Andreeno ~ Crimson Fury ~ Kex Queen ~ Hawke ~ Red Beast ~ Angast ~ Delora ~ Quakke ~ Lord Masque ~ Lizzor ~ Zilora ~ Three-Beast ~ Robowoman ~ Bubblor ~ Sagitar
I think these guys could work well:
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
HE-MAN UK Adventure Magazine #26
Shadow Weaver
Moss Man
Other (Stinkor, complete with stink)
I'd also have given Grizzlor a runners up. I think the figures with the odd textures, spikes, robes, and smells would make the most interesting plushies.
Edit: Although I guess you could make your own Grizzlor by slapping a face on an existing tribble.
Teela, She-Ra, Glimmer, Angella, Catra. I'm not a fan of these, but if I'm gonna cuddle, I would rather cuddle with Teela or She-Ra than Man-At-Arms or King Randor.
I would buy Orko.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Orko would be my favorite hands down!
I would love a Stinkor too! (What can I say? Stinkor is my Mosquitor.)
my "other" vote was for Lookee. Think that is just fitting and pretty sweet.
Course she ra deserves her due. Catra (as her villian) skipping hordak.
Moss man would be fun fuzzy....
finally Ramman because, well he's so compact and filled out already, he'd be neat even boxier.
But basically, anyone. Orko is a great choice as well, for the same as lookee.
I went with: She-Ra, Hordak (totally envision these two happening), Sorceress (a strong possibilty IMO), Panthor (cause we got BC, Skele needs his pet to even things out) and Roboto ~ (a biased decision because it'll never happen).
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
I want a pine scented plush Moss Man.
Chapter 29
This is an important announcement. This is flight 121 to Los Angeles. If your travel plans today do not include Los Angeles, now would be a perfect time to disembark.

How about:
- Teela

- Orko
- Mer-Man
- Ram Man
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
Voted Imp, Mantenna, Webstor, and Spikor... and other just so I could add Loo-Kee to the list.

Glenda wig by Foxy Silver is great.

About Me Beauty Conscious
Always out of stock when I try to order it. Never in my color. This product is great. I would order all the time but have gone to other stores who have the Glenda Wig listed by another name and have plenty of the same. Especially Yours you are missing money by not keeping this product in stock with more colors.

Nice but needs improvement
By Jan
from Oklahoma
Nice wig, but a little lacing in quality control webbing can be seem in front, expected to wear out of package without any modifications..Also had a problem with shipping discount as others have. Be sure that you are not charged shipping if you used the free shipping code. Look at your shipping invoice, they will try to charge you shipping.

Tomato rules concern importers
Tom Karst
Related Articles
The Proof is in the Enforcement!
Funny how all the "we built this" types ran to the government they claim they so disdain, to prevent any sort of level playing field in the tomato deal. Without this confusing, poorly written, utterly biased document, Florida would have had to face diminished sales due to a poor product and questionable sales practices. Florida's battle cry ought to be "we hate competition"...so along with enforcing this duress produced agreement Max, we should also investigate and enforce price fixing against the Florida Tomato Cartel.....That time will be coming....
This is the USA. We hold our companies a higher standard. Our workers all have a good living wage. Our workers all have running water and the same chance at life as everyone else We go to the same schools as our pickers We have restrictions on our water use We have restrictions on on our chemical use. We are made responsible for any environmental issues we cause. We don't have large drug cartels involved in our industry. Mexico can say none of these things. There is alot of good people in the Mexican tomato industry, but until they can say they follow our rules then this is the only way to level the playing field
what enforcement? don't forget about the "salsa" tomato made famous here in Nogales that was sold to "processors only"
Very noble concepts indeed, but all unfortunately long gone. When WE invented globalization, we chose to compete with people that have very little (for the sake of cheaper goods) and thought nothing about the concequences of our actions. The chickens have come home to roost. The America that you describe is long gone and WE destroyed it! Petty attempts to level the plainfield thorugh weak laws that will be difficult to enforce will do nothing to help the industry. Change needs to come from within the produce industry and at the consumer level. If we believe (and want) the noble things you describe above, then we ALL need to vote with our dollars everytime we buy something and choose the products that support our American way of life. This is NOT about the government enacting laws, but about ALL of us as Americans supporting the companies that do things in a responsible and sustainable manner. A better way life costs money. Let's put our wallets where our mind is!!!

wave light denim shirt
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

With a name like "Cherries Jubilee," one would expect Fit & Active Cherries Jubilee Yogurt to taste like an amazing fruity dessert. What I found with this yogurt, however, was that it was sour, thin, and bland. Not what I was expecting (or hoping for)! I should have known better than to think this might be great - I had tried the Fit & Active Strawberry Cheesecake flavor before and found that it was pretty similar to just strawberry yogurt (no cheesecake to speak of). What I couldn't know, however, was how straight up BAD this yogurt was.
I picked this up because it was just 50 cents at Aldi (it's their store brand), but it wasn't even worth that . As far as nutrition goes, each 6-ounce cup of Fit & Active Cherries Jubilee Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat or fiber, 12 grams of sugars, 6 grams of protein and 15% of the daily value for calcium and phosphorus.
The ingredients are cultured paturized grade A nonfat milk, cherries, modified cornstarch, crystalline fructose, kosher gelatin, natural flavors, citric acid, aspartame, malic acid, potassium sorbate, red 40, and blue 1. Yucky taste and yucky ingredients.
It's been a while since I had a product this bad - I've just got to think that this was some weird experiment gone wrong. The only other experience I've had with Fit & Active products has been with the Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt is better - as long as you don't expect any cheesecake flavor or texture.

Islam Changed People
Islamic education and civilization
If the purpose of education and civilization is to engender a sense of pride, dignity, and honor in individuals so that they improve their state and consequently ...
Third truth: The gate of Wisdom and Justice, the manifestations of His Names the All-Wise and All-Just.[1] Would the Majestic Being, Who manifests the sovereignty of His being Lord in the universe's order, purposiveness, justice, and balance, not show His favor to believers who seek the protection of His being their Lord and Sovereign, who believe in His Wisdom and Justice, and act in conformity with them through worship? Would He not chastise those who, denying His Wisdom and Justice, rebel against Him? Since only a minute amount of His Wisdom and Justice with respect to humanity is established in this impermanent world, they must be deferred. Most of the misguided die unpunished, and most of the guided die unrewarded. Such affairs certainly are deferred to a supreme tribunal, an ultimate contentment.
The One Who administers this world does so in accordance with an infinite wisdom. We can see this in how all things are used and benefit others. Have you not seen how many wise purposes are served by each human limb, bone, and vein, as well as by every brain cell and every cell atom in your body? Indeed, the purposes are as numerous as a tree's fruits. This confirms that all is arranged in accordance with infinite wisdom. A further proof is the absolute orderliness in which everything is fashioned.
The miniaturization of the whole, exact program of a flower's growth in a tiny seed, as well as the Pen of Destiny's making a large tree's seed the index of its life-history and all its parts, show that an absolute wisdom moves that Pen. The perfection of subtle artistry in all things proves an infinitely Wise Artist's impress. Including an index of all beings within a small human body, as well as the keys to Mercy's treasuries and mirrors to reflect all Divine Names, further shows the Wisdom within that infinitely subtle artistry. Could this Wisdom, which so permeates the workings of Lordship, not want to favor those who eternally seek refuge in that Lordship's protection and who offer obedience in belief?
Do you need convincing that everything is done with justice and balance? The fact that all things are given being and form, and then placed according to a precise equilibrium and measure, is enough proof for you. The fact that everything receives whatever it needs in the most fitting form, according to its nature, is a sign left by a hand of infinite justice. Every petition and plea voiced in the tongue of disposition, of natural need or necessity, also demonstrates infinite justice and wisdom.
Is it conceivable that the justice and wisdom hastening to provide for creation's smallest member would not provide the greatest need (immortality) of its most important member (humanity)? Is it conceivable that it would fail to respond to our greatest plea and cry for help, or that it would not preserve the dignity of God's being Lord by rewarding His servants? We cannot experience the true essence of justice in this transient world, for our lives are too short. Thus the affair is deferred to a supreme tribunal.
The true essence of justice requires that we be rewarded and punished not according to our apparent insignificance, but according to the greatness of our wrong and our nature, and the importance of our function. Since this transient world cannot manifest such an amount of wisdom and justice, as humanity is created for eternity, there must be an eternal Hell and an everlasting Paradise created by the All-Just and All-Wise to befit His Grace and Awe.[1] In this and other arguments, such interrogative words and phrases as could, would, is it conceivable, and does it make sense are reiterated to point to a very significant truth: Misguidance and a lack of belief often arise from the habit of imagining things to be impossible or beyond sense and then denying them. In our discussion of the Resurrection, we argued emphatically that the real impossibility, absurdity, and irrationality come along the path of unbelief and misguidance, whereas real possibility, facility, and rationality are characteristics of the broad highway of belief (Islam). In sum, materialist and naturalist philosophers veer into unbelief by regarding possibilities as impossible, whereas The Tenth Word, by using such words as mentioned above, points to where the impossibility really is.

Spaghetti Strap Jumpsuit
Looks great on the model
This jumpsuit is supercute and sexy, just make sure it fits you well. You can't compromise on a good fit for this one, because if it doesn't hang well on you, it just looks awkward. I'm 5'0 and wear a size 0, so I ordered an XS which is my usual Bebe size. It was way too baggy on me. Best for women 5'5 or taller and a size 2 (for the XS). also, the material is soft and shiny, and it does have some weight to it. Definitely better for thicker girls, as my skinny frame didn't hold it well.
November 15, 2013
Best to try on in store
The material is the shiny polyester fabric that tends to cling, not the soft rayon that it appears to be in the picture. This outfit did not flatter my larger bottom.
November 11, 2013
The material feels very much like a jersey type knit and was just not for me; did nothing for me. The fit runs on the loose/baggy side and just was not flattering. To bad it didn't have a built in shelf bra either because I did like the concept of this jumpsuit.
September 10, 2013
Throwback HOT!!
So sexy, so simple, so 70's. I wore it out and got TONS of attention and compliments. It goes better with strappy heals (I tried wedges and I didn't care for that combo). I just did simple gold accessories but really, since it is black, anything goes.
Very happy with this purchase.
August 26, 2013
This jumpsuit fits and looks perfect. Appropriate for any event. Works with heals or flats. It's true to size also. LIVE IT!!!

As I was strolling down the soup aisle in search of a flavorful Amy's Soup, like Amy's Organic Black Bean Vegetable Soup, I spotted a soup on the shelves that I had never tried before, Baxters Healthy Chicken & Vegetable Soup. Since I was in an adventurous mood, I decided to let go of "sure for unsure" and picked up a can.
Oh my goodness (said in my Sheneneh voice - fellow Martin fans will get that reference)! This soup is bursting with a delightfully unique flavor - it's like chicken noodle soup taken up a notch. The beans add a nice textural difference, while the chicken looks like you just diced it up yourself.
It's not without a few ... hiccups ... though, as the carrots are a bit mushy, and if you get too big of a chunk of chicken, it's tough and make for a very unappealing bite. I am never 100% satisfied with the chicken in chicken noodle soups anyway (take Muir Glen Organic Chicken Noodle Soup for example). This particular chicken has a very appealing appearance, but the texture is sub-par.
Each 1/2 can serving of Baxters Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Soup provides 110 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, no saturated fat, 690mg of sodium (29% of the daily value), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 3 grams of sugars and 7 grams of protein (if you can eat all of the not-so-tender chicken).
The ingredient list includes Water, Carrots, Onions, Peas, Haricot Beans, Potatoes, Cauliflower, Green Beans, Parsnips, Swede, Cornflour, Sweetcorn, Chicken Stock, Celery, Chicken (1%), Sea Salt, Chicken Flavouring, Chicken Fat, Dried Onions, Parsley, White Pepper. Vegetables 38%.
I paid only $2.29 for a 19 ounce can of Baxters Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Soup. I would love to see Baxter's ditch the tough chicken and bulk it up with some more beans and veggies because this robust broth is worth the extra effort. I plan on giving Baxters another try as they have MANY soup varieties, but perhaps next time I will choose a meat free version.

The Star Wars (TM): The Card Game FAQ Is Available for Download |
Star Wars: The Card Game | Published 12 February 2013 |
"A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind."
–Yoda, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
The Star Wars™: The Card Game FAQ is now available for download. Compiled by our very own Jedi Masters, this living document clarifies rules, answers common questions, and introduces errata designed to resolve issues that prevented two cards from functioning as intended. Rulings in the FAQ are official and should be used at tournaments in conjunction with the core rulebook and forthcoming tournament rules.
Players and tournament organizers looking forward to the 2013 Regional Championship tournament season for Star Wars: The Card Game Organized Play can choose from the high-res version (pdf, 14.4 MB), which includes mouse-over card images for quick reference, or the printer-friendly low-res version (pdf, 1.0 MB). Both versions are also available on the game's support page.

Our Star Wars: The Card Game design team offers additional insight into the FAQ's design.
From the Mouths of Our Jedi Masters
Hello, Star Wars™: The Card Game players! Welcome to the game's first FAQ release. This document is intended to be used as a supplement to the Star Wars: The Card Game core rulebook. As the game evolves, so too will this document, which will be updated at intervals to cover the most recent developments in the game and metagame.
In this initial FAQ, you will find advanced timing rules, answers to a number of common questions that have come up in the early weeks of the game's release, and a number of definitions and clarifications that should enable players to navigate the more advanced aspects of the game.
The document's first section, "Card Errata," addresses a situation in which the timing of "after you refresh" effects was preventing the newly placed shields created by a couple of card effects from persisting beyond the phase in which they were placed. Observant players will notice that we have addressed this issue on two levels. The first issue we noted was that the timing trigger of "after you refresh" had been defined too early in the rulebook (at the end of step one of the refresh phase), and we have therefore moved this trigger to a more natural place, after all three of the "refresh" steps have been completed. Additionally, we have also released errata on two cards, Fleeing the Empire (Core Set, 56) and Fleet Command Center (Core Set, 57), so that their effects now initiate at the end of the refresh phase. This was done to further remove these specific cards from the problematic "after you refresh" trigger.
The second section consists of general entries that cover a variety of broader topics. Here, players will find rules clarifications that handle general game situations (such as the simultaneous resolution by multiple players of a single effect), definitions that help explain how the language of the game functions (such as entries defining the word "to" or the concept of "moving damage"), and formal explanations about the treatment of specific game areas or states (such as the entry on the discard pile, or the ruling on facedown captured cards).
The third section provides players with an explanation of how to handle and understand advanced timing situations that may occur during play. It looks closely at the steps involved in playing a card or initiating an effect, and it includes a detailed examination of nested effect sequences.
The fourth and final section of the document includes a number of frequently asked questions and the official answers to those questions. This section is intended to help players with both the correct interpretation of the rules, as well as the context and reasoning behind those interpretations. It contains the questions that have been most frequently asked through the FFG website. If you have a specific question that was not covered in this document, we urge you to use the link on the site and submit it.
We hope this document can help you better enjoy your games of Star Wars: The Card Game. May the Force be with you!

Kree Harrison is one heck of a vocalist.
As her potential debut single (it has not been confirmed, but she did tell MTV News that she wants it to be), "All Cried Out" is a knock-out punch of emotions. Coming from a place of unabashed honesty, Kree pours her pain and soul into the song's stirring lyrics. The tune was co-written by Katrina Elam, Gordie Sampsonand Steve McEwan -- the songwriters behind such hits for Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Eli Young Band, Hunter Hayes, Reba McEntire and newcomer Lauren Alaina.
At first listen, I got chills. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, I know I'm listening to something really special.

Our monogrammed dog collars give you the opportunity to customize them with at least 20 characters. That means there's room for your pet's name and a phone number.
Having that important information right on the collar makes it easy to see. Some pet parents also like that they don't need an informational pet tag dangling from the collar.
Embroidered collars are a great choice if you're looking for an adjustable collar for your dog. You can order a specific size and also adjust for a perfect fit.
You can also act on your personal preference regarding the buckle. We offer plastic and metal side release buckles for all embroidered dog collars.Our plastic buckles are military grade and the most durable, but the metal buckles have a nice finished look to them.
Side-release buckles are a great option for pet parents that want an easy way to put on and take off their dog's collar.
All our custom collars are handcrafted in the USA. We're proud of the work we do with American companies and the quality of the collars we're able to provide because of it.
We use two-ply construction with high-quality materials to custom make our collars. That means the embroidery threads are contained between the layers of the collar so you won't see the embroidery thread and it won't be at risk of unraveling from the back.
Now you know you want an embroidered collar, but which one do you pick? Let's figure out what's most important to you.
If your dog gets in some serious lake time on a regular basis, you might want to look at one of the choices that are water repellant, like the canvas personalized dog collars and the tweed personalized dog collars.Water-loving dogs should stay away from suede collars.
If you and your dog are hitting the pavement in the dark, we suggest the embroidered reflective personalized dog collar. It has a reflective strip that runs through the collar, which is customizable with your choice of color and thread. Plus, this collar and many other embroidered products we carry has a matching leash.
We have solid color options in nylon, canvas, leather, suede or tweed. There are many color choices and some even allow you to choose a main color, accent color and embroidery thread color.
If you'd rather mix it up a bit with a pattern, you also have some cool choices. We have striped collars with trendy color combinations, digital camo patterns and MAYA patterns.
We have all kinds of personalized pet products, treats, toys and more. Shop around, add to your cart, and let us know if you have any questions. As a small company based in North Dakota, we value your business and want you to have a great experience!

Two years following his highly publicized meltdown, Charlie Sheen rests comfortably on the sidelines of pop culture pertinence. The actor's name still conjures up the connotations of Two and a Half Men feuds, "tiger blood" rants, drugs, alcohol, and a barrel of other malignant expositions.
But the Sheen of today is one of considerably calmer temperament, and (as such) much less frequent blips on the zeitgeist's radar. Still, Sheen is not wanting for creative outlets: along with his astronomical sum of pre-ordered Anger Management episodes, Sheen is headlining director Roman Coppola's new venture A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III. Beyond drawing a given name from his portrayer, Swan is a character who'll draw many comparisons to Sheen: he's a high society playboy undone by his proclivity for reckless relationships and substance abuse. But Coppola is ready to dispel the notion that these elements alone are enough to brand Swan an onscreen incarnation of Sheen.
"A lot of people say, 'Oh, Charlie Sheen is crazy,'" the director says. "There's a tendency to sort of lump them. Is Charles Swan Charles Sheen? You want [your actors] to embody the role, so you want to use all their characteristics." And Coppola is hardly blind to the superficial similarities shared by the men. "[Sheen] is, in many ways, like the character on a surface level. He's handsome, he's charming, he's that age where you're not supposed to act like a kid anymore but you can kind of get away with it."
RELATED: Charlie Sheen Wants to Appear on Two and a Half Men Finale
The filmmaker continues: "He loves beautiful women. He's from California. He's very funny, very witty. He's gotten by and has been able to use his charm to kind of smooth over problems. Those are all kinds of qualities that he has." But all this aside, Coppola can separate Sheen and Swan at a more substantial plateau. "My character … has a need for aesthetic beauty; fine clothes, a car that's a statement, and this kind of expression of his imagination through his work as a graphic designer." Coppola cites one of the more ornate fixations he concocted for Swan: Kopi luwak coffee, an expensive type of coffee bean harvested from the excrement of the Asian palm civet. "It's a hundred bucks for a cup of coffee," Coppola says. "It's from Indonesia. It's pooped out. There's a little marsupial that comes in."
But this is not something you'd find in Charlie Sheen's kitchen. "[Sheen] is very different," Coppola says. "He loves baseball. He's into hanging out with his pals. He's very casual. He just hangs out in a t-shirt. He's a different kind of person."
As such, it wasn't Sheen or his headline-heavy drama that encouraged Coppola to devise this character. In fact, Coppola's interest in Sheen for the role of Charles Swan predated the actor's 2011 controversy altogether. "I was pursuing him just prior to all the craziness," the director says. "I have a kind of funny string of text messages with him. We were exchanging notes, and [wishing each other] Merry Christmas. 'Merry Christmas, I'm here with Brooke [Mueller] and the kids in Aspen, having a great time.' And then we all know the history, what happened after that." But "what happened after that" hardly deterred Coppola's casting. "During that period, I was very determined to not let it go. I really wanted him to be in my movie. And he was a little apprehensive ... He really liked the material, we're friends, he wanted to be in the film. But — I can't speak for him, but I think he was a little bit scared."
As anyone might be in this circumstance. "It's a commitment to put yourself out there in that way, and have the chops," Coppola says. "And I kept reaching out to him. And through all that craziness, I was kind of waiting. I was telling people, 'I want Charlie Sheen to be in my movie.' And they were all like, 'What? You can't have him. No one would insure him.' And no one did insure him." But Coppola persisted, and thinks that Charles Swan might have been what helped pull Sheen out of his lasting funk.
RELATED: Charlie Sheen Calls Lance Armstrong 'A Douche'
"I was so clear-minded about wanting to work with him, it made him think, 'Wait a minute. This guy is willing to go this far in his belief that I can do the movie. Maybe I should sort of rise to the occasion,'" the director says. "So, at the tail end of all that craziness, he said, 'I'll do it!' He said that. He did it. And he was there every day. He made it happen. He totally came through. He learned Spanish when he needed to, learned to dance when he needed to. Learned to sing the Portuguese song."
Coppola says, "In a way, I think the movie was a sort of symbol. [Something] that he was sort of able to jump into, and to find the sort of focus, and to have that pleasure of working with other actors on a feature project. I think he really values that."
One is likely to approach A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III prepared to see Charlie Sheen: The Movie. And in Coppola's film, which he describes as "a character study of a really flamboyant guy who is charismatic, and kind of has everything within means, but it's all falling apart for him," one is likely to find traces of that. But as far as the director is concerned, Sheen and Swan are two different animals. Coppola didn't tackle the project as a means of bringing Sheen's controversies to the silver screen. Instead, he "want[ed] to do something really showy, and playful, and fun, and balls out." In fact, Coppola pins the whole ordeal down to one word: "pizzazz." To him, that's the definition of Charles Swan III.

AMAZING! I love these shoes. My back and feet don't hurt when I wear them, and I do a lot of running up and down stairs. They are definitely going on vacation with me to Southern California!
This is an amazing shoe. I've used it for about 200 miles, and it barely looks worn, and I've had no spots whatsoever. I recommend this to any minimalist runner.

As part of the School of Architecture End of Year Exhibition, I was asked to design graphics for large hanging banners, plaques, and a physical surround for 10 widescreen T.V.s to display the plaques.

The coffee table is a continuation of the investigation into surface that began with the Fall Off table.
The idea is that support material is added when and only where it is needed. This in turn creates a dynamic and unique surface pattern on the table, respective of what it is being used for
Each cell is able to be turned "on or off" by placing or removing a hexagonal tile. Therefore a surface is able to be "built up" through a number of adjacent tiles for larger objects.
The table also has a removal system that allows users to push down in a select corner of the tile, raising the opposing corner for easy removal.
The hexagon was used because it makes efficient use of space and provides structural integrity.Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Product Design2012 -
The side table exaggerates the fact that it is constructed from laminated ply, through a random juxtaposition of an unfinished edge.
Utilising the strength and aesthetic appeal of vertical ply, the 18mm pieces are left at random lengths on one side of the table, giving an insight that it is unique and handcrafted as opposed to a clean, finished, mass produced item.
The surface is able to be flipped and either side of the table used. Grub screws add detailing to one side and anchor the steel legs in place.Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Product Design2012 -
The design for the cable coil arose from the need to keep long headphone cables from being damaged.
Primarily studio headphones, and often larger over the ear headphones, feature long thick cords that are useful yet sometimes obtrusive.
When transporting headphones it is possible to damage the cable by simply tying or winding it. This design allows for the cable to be safely bound when not in use, and is easily adjusted/secured when the full length of cable is not needed.Crafts, Industrial Design, Packaging2012 -
Fall Off is a computer generated table in which surface density is defined by the placement of objects on a virtual table through a web interface. The table utilises a voronoi pattern, which is a mathematical way of dividing a space into a number of regions.
As a virtual object, for example a laptop or coffee cup, is moved around on the table, the epicenter of the structure follows. This forms supporting density on the top surface and structural form on the underside which accommodates splayed legs.
The surrounding density is controllable through a digital falloff, representing a gradual decrease
With the addition of more objects the density increases to a state of equilibrium with just enough structure to perform the required task but move it and it will Fall Off.Furniture Design, Industrial Design, UI/UX2012 -

It's Black Thursday in Canada after Sears layoff announcement
It's a Black Thursday for retail workers in Canada, with 1,600 of them getting layoff notices with their morning coffee.
Struggling Sears Canada will lay off 700 workers nationwide, it announced in a news release Thursday (January 31).
More than half of those affected work in department stores, with the rest coming from distribution centres and head office, spokesman Vince Power said in a statement.
About 200 of the job losses will be split between Belleville, Ontario, and Regina, Saskatchewan, distribution centres, with similar operations in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver also taking hits. Department stores across the country should see a couple of cuts each.
"The reductions are spread pretty well across the country, as far as geography is concerned," Power said in an email. He said that the layoffs were part of an "initiative to right-size the organization".
The announcement came the same day that Best Buy and Future Shop announced the closure of 15 stores in Canada, including one in Surrey, with the total loss of 900 jobs.
Sears Canada, through majority owner Sears Holding Corp., operates more than 460 corporate department and local dealer stores nationwide, as well as numerous pick-up locations and showrooms.
The company, which is in the middle of a three-year restructuring plan, has been fighting slumping revenue as well as an aggressive expansion of Canadian presence by Wal-Mart and Target stores.
Target Corporation, which took over Canadian store sites previously operated by Zellers Inc., plans to open 125 stores in 2013 starting in March, with 18 located in British Columbia, including one in Metropolis at Metrotown. The retail giant runs 1,764 stores in the U.S.
Wal-Mart Canada announced on January 22 that it would expand its presence in this country by the end of January 2014 to 388 stores from 379 and invest about $450 million in new and existing projects.
Sears announced in January 2012 that it was closing in-house restaurants, with a loss of 400 jobs, and 480 Sears call-centre jobs got outsourced to the Philippines in early 2009.
In 2012, Sears sold back major stores in Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa to landlord Cadillac Fairview Corp Ltd., and CFO Sharon Driscoll announced her surprise resignation the day before Christmas just past.
The world has changed and not for the better in my view ,BUT life does go on, Good luck all.
Life will find a way... Good luck out there...
This is what its going to be like.
No such thing as retiring from the company you first started working for.
if they sold clothes that werent so dumpy and only fit for a grandma, then maybe they would make some money.
The only thing I ever buy at Sears is underwear and appliances.
I have been "laid off" (fired is fired, actually)a couple of times.. and each time I was prompted to look outside my box, to expand my horizons, advance my education.. and the end result has always been better than what I had. I work in the same industry, but my role is significantly different that where I started... I continue to progress, continue to just get better at what I do... and btw, I am 62 yrs and still looking towards the future..and that future does not hold a rocking chair and knitting, I can promise you that.
Every conflict is a blessing in disguise..
Any Corporation like Sears has no loyalty or feel any obligation to any Employee profit and loss is the only driving factor much like a Crack Addict scounrging for their next hit.
Under the Law in Canada Employees are deemed to be 'Servants' & Severance is a Joke at 1 week per year or so.
Corporations often provide the minimum severance as they DEEM & Employees are left to go to Court to prove their Cases for more compensation.
In most cases Employees do not have the financial backing nor the time to go to Court even Small Claims nor the Legal knowledge.
Even if they can afford a Lawyer the small amount in extra Severance negates the economics so most do not go to Court, the Corporation gets off scott free!
Niether the Law nor Coporate 'Values' protect ordinary Canadian Citizens basic Human Righs to earn a living.
Therefore you should seriously reconsider your Employment regardless with a Small or Large Corporate Business.
Explore your own Business or work as a Freelancer at least you are better protected under Business to Business Contract Law.
DO NOT WORK YEARS FOR ANY CORPORATION its a waste of your LIFE!
The same brain washed HR employee also stated today that this layoff of many loyal employee's is good for the company as now we will see the sales grow and after all, she hastened to add, some of the poor folks let go may be happy to spend time with their families etc etc! Give me a break! Never mind that they have just lost their source of income, and any packages they may have been given don't last for ever!I am certain of the fact she will soon change her tune when it happens to her in the next 2 years or so! I can say this because I have worked for the company for 25 years and can see the writing on the wall!
My good wishes to all those who were let go yesterday and I sincerely hope that things work out for you all in the future!

With a flourish, filmmaker George Lucas Thursday unveiled statues of his iconic Yoda and Indiana Jones characters at San Anselmo's Imagination Park, cheered on by about 500 people crammed into the small park.
Lucas donated the land for the nearly completed park at 535 San Anselmo Ave. downtown, razed an existing building to make room for it and paid for the bronze statues.
Before he pulled the white sheets from the works of art, the 40-year San Anselmo resident talked about how Star Wars and the Indiana Jones series were created "right up the street," pointing over his shoulder.
"We are here on this joyous occasion because San Anselmo has received an amazing gift from George Lucas," Connie Rodgers, president of the San Anselmo Community Foundation, told the audience. Rodgers unveiled the statues along with Lucas.
The foundation has raised about $125,000 of the $300,000 it needs for its contribution to the costs of creating and maintaining the park. The $125,000 does not include a $10,000 donation approved this month by the San Anselmo Town Council.
At the event, a grassy lawn in the park was still cordoned off awaiting some finishing touches, and the park's narrow paths and the areas surrounding the statues and the park were jammed with the hundreds of townspeople who showed up.
David Donery, San Anselmo's director of community services and assistant town manager, released 15 doves before the unveiling.
"It was fantastic," Donery said of the event.
"I've never seen so many people in downtown San Anselmo," said Annabelle Reber, who was at the event with her dog, her infant and her toddler. The San Anselmo resident said, "We're very excited that the town finally has a central gathering spot."
Lawrence Noble, the Berkeley sculptor who created the two statues, was on hand for the ceremony. The artist had never put a hand to clay before he saw Yoda in "The Empire Strikes Back," he said.
"I was working for Lucasfilm designing posters in 1980, when I first saw 'The Empire Strikes Back,'" Noble said in an interview. Inspired by the movie, "I went out and bought clay and sculpted Yoda. I never dreamed at the time that someday I would create a public statue of him."
The bronze Indiana Jones statue Noble created is about 6-foot-3, he said, and the Yoda statue is about 21/2-feet tall. It took him between three and five months to create the statues.
San Anselmo resident Dan Baker said, "I am happy with the park. It has now become a place for the community to meet instead of a building that never seemed to find a purpose. Our kids (saw) the statues unveiled today, and in time, they can bring their own kids here."

Pick the Best Room
Click Factor: Like seatguru.com, which guides fliers to the best seats on airplanes, this site gives travelers the scoop on the specific hotel room to request based on view, noise level, size, and even the quality of the bathroom. (For instance, request an odd-numbered room in the MGM Grand's 100 Wing for the best view of the Las Vegas Strip.)
T+L Tip: Keep checking back on the site, which is quickly growing: At press time, it had reviews for 500 hotels in 27 cities, with a new city scheduled to launch each month.
Choose a Hotel by Feature
Click Factor: How has a six-month-old hotel review site already amassed more than 35 million opinions? By collecting them from other sites, such as TripAdvisor, Yahoo!Travel, and VirtualTourist. Raveable aggregates reviews and—even better—uses them to highlight each property's pros and cons and create roundups of hotels by special feature, such as "Hotel rooms with Jacuzzi." It also helps your search by separating hotels into categories such as "romantic," "kid friendly," or proximity to nearby attractions.
Drawback: Though Raveable's ratings seem authoritative, don't forget that they're based on averages of both biased and unbiased reviews. As you would with TripAdvisor (see below), take the time to read the actual reviews.
Hear What Hotel Guests Really Think
Click Factor: With 100 percent user-generated reviews of roughly 70,000 hotels around the world, TripAdvisor is not only helpful but also highly entertaining. Sure, it's had its problems with planted posts, but its 11 million members can generally sniff out a rat, and the sheer volume of posts helps highlight the odd fake review. Plus, we love the unvarnished room photos posted by users. Nothing says romantic honeymoon like putting pics of your petal-strewn bed online for the world to see.
T+L Tip: You may know it for hotels, but don't discount TripAdvisor for flight searches. It now has a fees estimator, which accounts for extra charges for baggage, in-flight headphones, and onboard alcohol and snacks.
Score Last-Minute European Hotel Deals
Click Factor: Look no further for last-minute bargains on hotel rooms, especially in popular European destinations. We love the deeply discounted rates on four-and five-star properties in the United Kingdom available through the site's Secret Room (the names of the hotels are revealed only after you book).
T+L Tip: Hold on to the reference code LateRooms gives you; you'll need it to get the marked-down rate when you call the hotel to book.

Comments about iRobot Fine Particle Filter Bag for Verro®:
Have used fine filter bag for over 1 year and it is fantastic in cleaning pool. I have the jet version of Verro Pool Robot and it kept pool clean for the 4 months it took me to get a new pool pump shipped to Virgin Islands - just have to turn bag inside-out and hose squirt off debris and algae it picks up. I have cartridge filters (7) which are $50.00 each locally and this filter bag keeps pool cleaner than pump and filter. This is very economical. I run my Verro 4 or 5 times a week (7 if we have a lot of Sahara Desert Dust (full of dust and mold/algae spores) and electricity cost is only about $0.55 even with our very high $0.37 per kilowatt/hour electricity rates (most of US is below 10 cents).One word of caution, I was so excited when I received my Verro that I put it in a very algae covered pool without cleaning pool the old way first and that really plugged up the bag - but it trained me how to clean filter bag. I would suggest you be a little less thrilled when you get yours and clean your pool before first use.

Comments about iRobot Fine Particle Filter Bag for Verro®:
Had to get the hang of placing filter back on wires the first two times but has been a breeze since. Durable material. I am pleased. Ordering a spare for future use whenever that is needed.
Best Uses
Comments about iRobot Fine Particle Filter Bag for Verro®:
catches a lot of debris but mine has holes in it after about 8 uses and the new bag that wears out can't be bought without the expensive holder that will likely never wear out. IROBOT should be able to sell the bags separately.
Comments about iRobot Fine Particle Filter Bag for Verro®:
i have never used something that did such a great job in our pool. this bag has captured the smallest sand particles you would have never even known they were in the pool.
