It wasn't much of a surprise when Electronic Arts was recently voted the Worst Company in America by readers of Consumerist for the second year in a row. Though the game publisher's sins are arguably less substantial than those of their competition, nerds have soundly declared that borked SimCity servers are officially worse than the predatory housing loan tactics responsible for the current financial crisis.
Regardless of whether you agree with EA's win, it's obvious that gamers really dislike this software giant. Let's take a look at the reasons why.view full story + comments

Today on The Destructoid Show, we discuss XCOM: Enemy Unknown's upcoming Slingshot DLC, Sim City's momentary delay, Medal Of Honor: Warfighter's less-than-thrilling reception, and crappy ol' Zynga doing a bunch of crappy stuff. Again.
|Max Scoville
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a funny name. Yes, "Warfighter" is a term with a real-life military application, but that doesn't stop it from sounding incredibly silly. It is gratuitously macho, not to mention rather redundant. It is, however, a perfectly fitting name for one of the many annual "me too" military first-person shooters that hit the market toward the end of the year.
It is, in fact, the perfect name for Danger Close's latest offering. If Warfighter is anything, it's as gratuitous as it is redundant.view full story + comments

In about two weeks, Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released. While we've seen single-player content twice already, it wasn't until recently that we got to try out the game's multiplayer at length.
Although the last game had multiplayer which basically amounted to a poor man's Battlefield, Warfighter seems to have done an admirable job of creating a good, but perhaps not great, multiplayer component.view full story + comments
It hasn't been that long since we first got a look at Medal of Honor: Warfighter's single-player campaign. For general details, do be sure to check out that preview. Recently though, we got a chance to spend a few hours with the game including new single-player content. Specifically, two whole campaign missions.view full story + comments

Looks great! Must be packed better to avoid the geese from breaking off; one of mine did but I was able to repair it.Read More

Flight of geese is just perfect
We've had several days now to look at our "Flock of Geese" wall art and the more we look the more pleased we are. We did a lot of looking both on the internet and locally. O.com had what we wanted, at a great price, it arrived before we thought it would and hanging it with the supplied hardware was very simple. Our thanks to O.com and we'll be recommending them to our friends and family.Read More
Great Wall Piece
We are fortunate to live by a large open grain field and each fall we have thousands of Canadian Geese migrate thru heading south and landing each evening in the field, flight after flight..... This piece so perfectly captures those moments, I was thrilled to find it and hang it on the wall above our bed, it mounts at least 3 inches off the wall and gives the piece great depth and movement. The only negative is in the manufacture, the long pieces that mount it off the wall do not set flush to the wall equally and there is no way to correct the misalignment. We had to remove one that was at least an inch away from touching the wall. It hangs fine without it so all in all, .I would recommend this, the finish is a nice rusty brown and you can almost feel the downbeat of the wings.......Read More
Poor quality item
I would not have purchased this item if I had seen it in person. If it weren't so big and cumbersome I would have shipped it back, but that process seemed to difficult considering the size. I have it hanging on my back fence far away from view so it looks more like what it's supposed to look like. Poor quality. Not worth the price because it doesn't look like a flock of geese up close. Not enough detail in the metal cutting and pieces are welded together in the wrong place on the bird. Not a good buy.Read More
Nice wall art
I bought this flock of geese for cabin decor and love the way it looks on my wall. I had read previous reviews about the size of this art piece, so I had a smaller space all picked out for it's display. Definately something to keep in mind while ordering. It is made of thinner metal that I was expecting, but once on the wall the 3-D effect kicks in and that aspect was no longer a concern. I think it is a nice piece for the price.Read More
Poor Geese
When this arrived I was surprised at the light weight of the package. After opening it I could see why, it was made with very thin metal and had no depth or detail. This was very disappointing as it was ordered for our community room for the condo association. I sent it back and would never recommend it to anyone.Read More
Questions & Answers
Have purchased already and need another set to make the flock fit the wall. Great item for the price.
I live in southwest Idaho and would like to place this sculpture on an exterior windward wall of the house. Is this unit built strong enough to withstand gusts of up to 40 mph?
Hello Christfollower, I hope your day is going well. It was not designed for your application, sorry. Thank you for shopping with us.
what is the weight?
Thank you for contacting us jari16. The weight is 5 pounds. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Not sure of the exact weight but it's light enough to hang on a couple of paneling nails. Does not require any special installation.
can this be hung on a covered porch?
Yes it can, it still will be affected by moisture.
Yes. We hung ours on the front of our home against medium brownish stucco and it looks amazing!
Do you have this deco shows as birds fly from left to right side. Now it is right to left side. Please let me know.
Unfortunately, we do not have what you are looking for.

How to Decorate Toddler Bedrooms
Normally restrained decorators tend to let loose when decorating toddler bedrooms. After all, the color and pattern palette of kids' furniture and bedroom decor tends to be far more diverse than those for adult bedrooms. You can begin with a few large pieces of kids' furniture, such as a toddler bed, kid dresser and storage shelving. Add a theme or a palette and work from there or just add some simple textiles and wall art for a few decorative accents.
Tips on Buying Canvas Art
The easiest way to transform a bare wall into a spectacular gallery is with canvas art. These three-dimensional paintings literally pop from the wall, creating a simple focal point that can make your home look more polished. Most canvas art is created for the masses using a giclee technique. This involves recreating a piece of fine art digitally and printing it on a high-quality inkjet printer. The image is then stretched over a canvas frame to create your piece of art. You can buy canvas art in nearly every genre, but this guide will help you decide what's right for you with a few tips on buying art.
How to Tile an Accent Wall
Have you ever thought about using tile wall coverings to decorate an accent wall? Tiling an accent wall allows you to create designs and patterns right on your wall. You can create a real sense of personalization and customization on any wall with your own tile wall coverings. In fact, if you tile the wall yourself, you will be saving hundreds of dollars in money that you would otherwise be paying someone else.
Best Wall Ideas for Baby's Room
With the arrival of your new baby drawing closer, you'll want to do everything you can to prepare, including furnishing and decorating the baby nursery. A baby nursery that is filled with all the right touches will give your infant a bright and beautiful place to start life. The wall decor can set the mood for the entire room, so start with art and decorations that are fun, interesting, unique and special. Wall art appliques. Removable wall decor appliques and decals offer some of the best ideas for a baby's room. Printed plastic and vinyl wall decals come in a variety of colors and designs. Opt for a themed collection of wall art images and create your own mural, which you can easily rearrange or remove as your child grows and you want to change the room. There are also decals that display words or phrases, such as well-known lines from nursery rhymes, prayers or beloved children's books. These look especially precious when posted on the wall above a baby's crib or cradle and can set the theme for the whole room. Framed art. As in any room, framed art can be the best way to add interest and beauty to nursery walls. Art is always personal, so choose a piece or grouping that speaks to you and your family. A lovely print of a mother and child or a toddler with a stuffed toy might move you, or you may prefer something whimsical and bright. If you have not yet settled on a theme or color for your baby's room, the perfect piece of framed art could be your best inspiration. Quilts. You have probably contemplated in great detail, if not already selected, the bedding for your baby's room. What you might not have considered is using a pretty quilt to decorate the wall. Quilts make lovely wall hangings and, with elaborate patterns and multicolor pieces, they let you tie together several colors in the room. Find a large quilt that harmonizes with your nursery decor or arrange several smaller ones in a delightful wall grouping. Letters. It has long been popular to decorate a nursery with letters. Spell out your little one's name with lovely, polished silver letters hanging from ribbons above the crib or use bright, colorful letters to showcase the alphabet or your little one's initials. You can add letters to your child's nursery in a variety of ways, from hand-painting them right onto the wall to utilizing lovely lettered wallpaper.

How to Decorate a Floating Shelf

Tips on Selecting Kitchen Cabinet Knobs
They may be small, but kitchen cabinet knobs have a big effect on the functionality and look of your kitchen. The color you paint your walls and the countertops you choose will set the tone for your kitchen decor, but cabinet knobs and pulls and other pieces of cabinet hardware can provide the perfect finishing accent to your kitchen. Today, you can find kitchen cabinet knobs in thousands of different styles and finishes; taking a little thought can help you sort through the masses of knobs available and find the style of cabinet knob that's right for your kitchen.
Art Buying Guide
It's easy to look at paintings, photography, or other pieces of art and know immediately whether or not you like them, but will that art look right in the room you are decorating? Many elements compose each piece of art, and they all affect how you feel about the piece and whether it is right for the room. Will you like looking at it every day?

Then, by evaluating the elements, you can get a better idea if the artwork you like will be something you love to have in your home.

Read on for tips on displaying abstract art.
Decorating Your Child's Room with Wall Covering
Decorating a child's room can be a lot of fun. Somehow, the fact that it's a children's room frees you from thinking so much like an adult, allowing you to use colors and designs that you wouldn't use anywhere else. One great design tool that works well for kids rooms are wall coverings that accent the colors of the walls and room decor. Murals and wall decals are repositionable, allowing you and the kids to customize designs and rearrange them at will. Here are some great ideas for decorating your child's room with wall coverings.
Tips on Choosing Wall Decor for a Relaxing Room
Designing a relaxing room goes beyond selecting comfortable furniture and soft shades of color. If you desire a calm, Zen-like retreat, choose simple wall decor that does not overwhelm your senses.

Choose simple colors and wall decor elements such as wall sculptures and mirrors for a look that calms and soothes you.
How to Choose Eco-Friendly Art for a Green Home
Selecting eco-friendly art for your home begins by looking at the origin of the art. To find eco-friendly art, look for items made from recycled materials or new artwork made from sustainable natural elements. Examine the methods used to make the artwork. Was it manufactured by electricity-absorbing machinery in a less-than-energy-efficient factory? Whenever possible, opt for fair-trade, handmade original art for a truly green piece of artwork.

I'd read you the verse proper, but since verse 2 hasn't been quoted yet, it's too dark to read...

Haniel Long Poems
The Poet
I take what never can be taken, Touch what cannot be; I wake what never could awaken, But for me.
Dead Men Tell No Tales
They say that dead men tell no tales! Except of barges with red sails And sailors mad for nightingales;
There will be butterflies, There will be summer skies And flowers upthrust, When all that Caesar bids,
Daphnis and Chloe
You found it difficult to woo— so do we who follow you. Everyone would like to mate; Everyone has had to wait.

The Night Sky In 800 Million Pixels 120

Wow, who ever thought that the simpletons on Free Republic would give a shit about stars?
Most people who live in cities never get to see even a fraction of the night sky. Even thougb I live in rural Colorado where we can see the Milky Way fairly regularly, I want to thank you so much for sharing with everyone what we are missing out on, night after night. This is way better than TV.
You can't actually see the 800-megapixel image. You have to contact the photographer to get the full-resolution image
They have a couple of decent sized static images, some desktop sizes, and one that dynamically loads when you zoom in, ala google maps. I don't know if the last one goes to the full 800MP when you zoom.
Splendid. For those of us who 'know nothing', it would be useful to have some orientation. Where is the so-called Pole Star or Southern Cross? Big Dipper/Plough? And which is the spot of the Hubble deep field?
Yeah what a jackass. He spends 30 entire nights over 6 months doing photography (something that he appears to do as part of his profession) and then expects to maintain a little bit of creative control over his work? Pffft!
Sarcasm aside, grow up a bit. He's made the zoomable version available, and even aside from that 18MP is pretty darn good. It's a good quality image you are working with, and you could do quite a bit with it. I've made 40" long prints from 6.7MP images and they end up looking very good. You could do pretty darn good with an 18MP image. If you want to make a print for yourself, you could make a damn good one from that (he might not appreciate it, but he'd never know). If you just want to look at it, use the zoomable version. If you want to do more than that, you could at least expend the effort to stitch together screenshots taken while panning across the zoomed in image. Or better yet, get your ass down there for 6 months and take them yourself.
The end of labor is to gain leisure.

I'm harvesting flavor delight apriums.
I've been harvesting flavor delight apriums since last week; these were picked today.
Look excellent. Is there any apricot flavor (or maybe is there any plum flavor)???
I mentioned this in another post, but I just had red velvet apricots from the grocery store and found them to be excellent. They must be similar to flavor delight? They are dark red (almost black), some fuzz...orange flesh and taste plum...but the seed is obvious apricot...and the size is that of an apricot. I need to grow one of these.
To me they taste like a plum with an apricot aftertaste.
Red Velvet apricots are 50% plum, 50% apricot. They were bred by Bradford genetics. Here is red velvet's patent (Patent has expired), http://www.freepatentsonline.com/PP07011.html
I've taste black velvet apricot, ruby velvet apricots, and Velvet sunrise apricots and all of them are delicious; all three are 50/50 hybrids.
funny you posted this....my Flavor Delight is just now starting to break it's dormancy! I have 3 leaves on my two year old tree! Now, I know my weather is much different than yours...thus the problem??? This is touted by the grower as a "low chill" variety. However, I have noticed this grower loves to tout these and others for SoCal growers...but they are many times unsuitable for 300 or 400 hrs of chill. Sure looks good though...
