Mederma Customer Reviews
Pretty much a waste of time and money - 10/21/2010 11:24:51 PM I've used mederma on two separate occasions on surgery scars. It requires several applications throughout the day and it pretty much did nothing to reduce the scarring. Applying mederma on a scar is about as effective as applying any lotion to a scar, just make sure to keep it moisturized and it'll do the trick.Wonders - 8/16/2008 1:23:04 PM excellent product - had a smugly scar in my face - 5 month old - which other products couldn't erase - after 2 months of using mederma - a huge difference - Use it !Well... - 7/25/2008 9:08:33 PM I just started using Mederma for about a week on some facial scars, and it seems to definitely have softened the scars. Since my scars are old I'll have to wait 3-6 months to fully see whether the product is as capable as its makers claim it is. I guess then I can give a full rating on its effectiveness.great stuff - 3/25/2008 6:58:56 AM My son was 10 months old when he had a severe facial laceration...he looks almost like it didn't happen now, the dr. gave us this to use and I attruibute this to a good surgeon and MedermaMakes my face RED and DRY - 12/2/2007 5:50:51 PM Not work for me!Disappointing - 11/23/2007 1:27:13 AM I bought this for my daughter who was bitten by a dog. She used it religiously as stated on the pack, but there was no change. Her scars are still very red and she is has become very self conscious. A waste of time and money.I love this product! - 9/30/2007 6:57:07 PM I am 15 and have some really, really nasty old scars, some of which are almost 7 years old. Mederma has removed them completely!very itchy and makes my face red - 9/30/2007 9:32:54 AM I used this product on my face acne scar for only two days, twice a day, and now my officemate is asking me what happened to my face, because it has red patches where i applied it and normal skin where i didn't. I also feel great itchy and dry last night. I will stop using it and see if i could return it.Made me itch. - 5/26/2007 7:21:10 AM I don't know if it REALLY works. I tried it awhile back for acne scars and it just made me itch. I'm using systemic enzymes and metrogel/coverblend for the acne scars now. Takes a long time, but it's working.Waste of Time - 4/13/2007 1:26:15 PM I've used Mederma faithfully on an old scar and it was simply a waste of time. I did not see any improvement whatsoever! -

Time for the Mad Sosh's Lineup Card Party to Wind Down
I was going to bite my tongue and just post my photos from Sunday's Fan Fest and ensuing disappointing game. I was going to refrain from ranting and just see how things worked out for a little while longer, really I was. And then, this evening. Yuck!!! …only, I didn't say yuck.
< rant >
Yes, Ervin Santana gave up five runs, four of them solo homeruns. Yes, the team was facing David Price. But five runs should not be an insurmountable deficit, especially with these bats in the lineup. The offense needs to find their swings, find their chemistry and start producing and, although it's only April, they need to do it quickly before we fall too much farther in the hole. But one thing that would seriously help is a having a set lineup.
Look, I love Mike Scioscia and am absolutely not part of the crowd calling for his head, but the another day, another lineup thing has got to stop. 15 different lineups in the first 17 games is Lewis Carroll levels of ridiculous without any of Lewis Carroll's awesomeness to me…hence my rusty attempts at cartooning. (Be kind. This is the first time I've put pencil to drawing pad with any greater cartooning intent than amusing my niece and nephew in years. *nervous giggle*)
Think about it, 15 lineups and none of them have worked? How do we really know that? I mean, did they really not work, or did they just not work that day? Because expecting to be able to assess a lineup accurately after just one game is kind of like going speed dating and expecting a marriage proposal from someone by the end of the evening. And if all Scioscia is trying to do is find a lineup that produces, why didn't he stick with any of the lineups he used in games the Angels won? Clearly I'm not a baseball manager, but does this make sense to anyone?
We have pitchers with radically different styles and, apparently, way more depth than is good for us. I understand this. So if Scioscia can't come up with just one lineup to stick with – and I do get that – than how about one lineup for fly ball pitchers and one lineup for ground ball pitchers or something like that? Restricting the crazy lineup roulette to two or three in some sort of regular rotation would surely be an improvement.
Again, I have no delusions of grandeur that I am some sort of baseball managing genius but certain things just seem obvious, especially after a few games. Albert Pujols should not be DHing, at least not this year, next year or any year so long as keeps making those outrageous defensive plays. Good God damn, that man can move. Young guys like Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar and Peter Bourjos, who have a set position they aren't experimenting with or trying out for should not sit out a game to "rest" unless there are legitimate reasons they need to rest and by that I mean illness and injuries. And they should have a static position in the lineup to go with their regular playtime. Howie was hitting! He was hitting a ton. Then he sat out a day and now he's not hitting anymore. Yes, he should do his best to maintain his own rhythm but shouldn't the lineup support him in this endeavor?
Also, Mark Trumbo needs to be in the lineup as often as possible, and Kendrys Morales needs to be in it more often than not. And leave Torii Hunter in right. Yes, I realize that doesn't leave a whole lot of wiggle room. Scioscia is left with flopping Trumbo, Maicer Izturis and Alberto Callaspo at third; Trumbo and Vernon Wells in left; and Kendrys and Bobby Abreu at DH, because let's be honest here, neither of them should be playing anywhere on the field right now. But he doesn't need a whole lot of wiggle room with only two or three lineups on a regular schedule, now does he?
</ rant >
Am I sure the Angels will turn it around eventually? Absolutely. Am I sure it will happen in enough time to matter? Not completely, no. Especially not with the rate at which Texas is tearing through the opposition. I'm not giving up by any means – Hello, it's April! – but something needs to change and fast…seriously guys. Don't make me turn this blog around and start cartooning again. ;)
And, while we're at it, Torii and Vernon (Because, yes, of course the Angels read this blog. Why do you ask? ;)), quit messing with Peter Bourjos' walk. I don't know for certain that that is what's messing with his swing, but something sure is so you might as well cool it just in case.
Okay. Now </ rant >

The Tigers are kind of the opposite, as the keep the same basic lineup, and it's not working. Then again, why Leyland puts two guys batting UNDER .100 in the lineup at the same time, let alone at all, still boggles my mind. Sciocsia is still one of the best, and should get this team up and running very soon. Your pic is very good, btw, keep it up!
That sounds frustrating too, Mike. Surely there is a happy medium somewhere? And thanks!
— Kristen
First let me say I really like your art, regarding our beloved team I'm in total agreement with you I love Mike Scioscia but he really needs to settle on the lineup. This team is too talented to be where they are now, I know it's early, however we will potentially be 8 1/2 games behind Texas by the end of the night. I'm afraid it for not careful they may run away with the division before we know it.
Thanks, Ice! And you're not kidding about the dangers if they don't right the ship soon.
— Kristen
I'm truly sorry to see such a painful start for the Angels. Regarding lineups, yes I couldn't agree more with you Kristin. When I saw Pujols on quick pitch the other day in the DH role, I honestly laughed out loud. He is what probably top 3 in defense for his position in both leagues? I watched many Cards games including his first at bat in the majors, he was made to be on the field at all times. Back to the lineup. I'm batting him third all day long, all week long, all month long, all year long, all contract long. One more extra at bat in game for a guy like him makes all the difference on the scoreboard…..Good toon btw. No need to be apprehensive about it at all.
And given Pujols' string of 0-fers since, Jon, I actually wonder if that DH stint didn't mess with his head a little, plant some doubt. I sure hope not, though of course that's fixable too. Thanks for the sympathy and the compliment.
— Kristen
At least Sosh knowws who's pitching so he can fill out the lineup card correctly (I'm assuming anyway). And yeah, don't wanna bring up the Rangers but jeesh those guys are scuuuuuuuuury.
Terrifying is more like it, Jeff. They're all seven feet tall. And they shoot home runs and fireballs from their eyes and…oh, wait…that's William Wallace. Still, scary indeed…and as far as the pitchers go, Sosh knows which names to write on the card but I'm not entirely certain that's who takes the mound. Looking at the end results, there may be a few giant bubbling alien brussel sprouts lurking in certain garages and closets. It's the only reasonable explaination. ;)
— Kristen
It's really hard not to start managing the team whenever you see a decision that just blows your mind (in the bad way). That line-up carousel sounds pretty insane, but I know the Angels are a scary team when they get hot, and especially if they are running the bases well. Mike Scioscia is one of the better managers in the game, it's just a matter of time. Enjoy year 2 of Vernon Wells…just 2 more after this! Jeff Mathis has only started 5 games for us but he's hit a home run. He's no Mike Napoli (sorry) though.
Ugh, bringing up Vernon, Mathis being above the Mendoza Line for once and Napoli all within two sentences? You really know how to wound a girl, don't ya? ;) (no worries, I'm laughing as I type that.) Thanks, Mike! I do think they'll be fine once they get it going. It's just a question of how soon they get it going and will that be enough. In the mean time, it's nearly May. The Orioles, Nationals and Indians are all in first place and Jeff Mathis has hit more 2012 homeruns than Albert Pujols. Somewhere in Hell, a small pile of snow balls is growing larger, LOL!

I would buy this if it were on a black (or very dark) T-shirt, so that you wouldn't see the Ninja at first glance—or maybe second or third.
"Who is ya daddy, and what does he do? Get to da choppa! You are a choir boy! Stop whining!" Yeah, listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger and STOP WHINING! I'm not sure why he wants to know who your daddy is, though :/ Why so much hate? Woot has the coolest Ts EVER! Sadly, also the crappiest ones occasionally, too, but shhhh don't tell them I said that. $15 isn't even that bad. I could have sworn macy's and JCpenny sells REALLY bad Ts for way more than $12.
Son loves his T! Cause he's a ninja, er, I mean, purple belt.
Hey how long does it take for my shirt to be mailed out? I ordered my shirt more than three weeks ago but I still never got it... Just wanted to ask still looking forward to getting one.

I'm sending you a private message with some shipping details. If you have any other questions, feel free to email email@example.com.
That would be my son in action..... no needs to ask him anymore "what are you doing?" T-shirt says it all LOL!!!
I bought this, but I would buy another one if I could get it in red!
I've had this shirt for awhile now and I think it's just hard for me to wear a T-shirt with nothing but kelly green on the front if it's not St. Patrick's Day. I tend to wear this walking the dog in the AM or working out but not generally. I think if there were something on the front I'd be more likely to wear it, but the blankness just feels wrong to me. Otherwise, I love it.
My kids keep yelling at me, there's a Ninja on your back. My reply is "I can't feel him."
You need to contact support. It does not take them that long.
correct me if im wrong (and please do, its been a while since i was on here) but didnt this shirt get "reckoned" like a year ago?
So...is that a ninja with a huge katana on your back or are you happy too....oh!Oh no!!

I want to buy this as a gift and I don't want to ask the recipient all sorts of questions about his chest width. It would ruin the surprise. He usually wears a large. Occasionally a medium.
Get an XL or XXL, depending on preference. I wear a medium in Hanes Ts, but a large here for a "fitted" fit and XL for a looser fit.

I'd suggest a large. I'd say men's sizing runs about right/a little small. It'll show the biggest difference after the wash/dryer. My brother wears a large here and he wears a large in everything, but!!! He also likes that woot shirts are much more fitted than his shirts from elsewhere, so there's definitely at least a half-size too small thing going on. So it all depends on how the guy for whom you are purchasing likes his shirts to fit. I'd say XL for loose and baggy, L for slightly fitted.
I bought this the second I saw it. Motorhead and Ghostbusters! Awesome!
Amazing shirt, must have - 80's movie + Heavy Metal = #winning!
After a horribly delayed random order and another random order with a crappy green Woot logo shirt, I swore off buying Woot shirts...until this awesome design.

Absolutely fuggin' metal \m/ I'll be wearing this shirt with my metal vest.

I went to ten stores looking for ecto cooler about a year ago. No luck but green Hawaiian punch is kinda close.... if you wanna call it close anyways.
People, do humanity a favor: Introduce the next generation to "Ghostbusters". Your son, daughter, niece, nephew, whoever. This is exactly the sort of movie that needs to be passed on. And paired with this shirt, you'd totally seal the deal as "Best Dad/Mom/Uncle/Aunt Ever".
This was my first Woot purchase...and I couldn't be happier!
I hope it arrives before the Rapture... I wanna look cool when Jesus arrives.

Right now AMD is showing the nextgen Radeon GPUs live at their event.
Word is going around that they will announce drastically improved AMD Linux drivers later during the event. That would be within the next hour or so.
Watched that stream from about 23:10 CET to the end, no mentioning of Linux or Linux gaming at all, instead great emphasize on DirectX 11.
I would call that fail, AMD.

A pearl muslim is when a man repeatedly ejaculates on a woman so many times that the only part of her body not covered with semen is her face (the jiz acts like a hijab, the typical wear for Muslim women where only her face is viewable). "Hijab" translates to "curtain" so this may also be referred to as Pearl Curtain.

I know some people hate this but I think it's funny. ..
Disney has released a new clip from Planes. The clip is a compilation of music and scenes from the upcoming film. The music was composed by Mark Mancina.
Official Boiler Plate: From above the world of "Cars" comes "Disney's Planes," an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty's not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty's courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar".
Planes features the voice talents of Dane Cook, Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Teri Hatcher, Cedric the Entertainer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, John Cleese, Carlos Alazraqui, Priyanka Chopra, Gabriel Iglesias, Roger Craig Smith, Colin Cowherd, Sinbad, Oliver Kalkofe, Brent Musburger, Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer.
Planes is directed by Klay Hall (Father of the Pride).
Disney's Planes takes off in theaters on Aug. 9, 2013.
Um... of course, why not make a cheesy rehash of Cars (easily Pixar's worst movie and sequel)! But, now they have wings! Yeehaw.
Gosh, this movie looks familiar.
Well, most of the human larvae that liked Cars have pupated by now. The new batch will have a different version to gape at.
I can't wait for Boats! And then maybe Motorbikes! Maybe even Gadgets!
EW dot com had a funny article with fake movie posters about two weeks ago. It was funny because it ridiculed how unoriginal Hollywood is (and will continue to be).
One of the fake posters was Pixar's Ties (as in neckties). Tagline "welcome to their neck of the woods" Too funny.
Home Alone Legacy with Jeremy Renner (and a cache of weapos). ha ha ha!
Nah... next it'll be Trains. They are going in reverse from that old Steve Martin/John Candy movie.
Hmmm... I noticed PIXAR's logo was no where to be found on that one. I guess they are handling this one wholeheartedly....
Irockdiesel you stole my thunder.
I was just about to make the John Hughes reference myself. :-)
This is one reason Disney should [not] have acquired Pixar or Lucasfilm.
If they are not careful, the house of mouse will run these properties into the ground.

Well, though, give the girl a break. She got herself up, obviously practiced like a trouper, showed up at this small rink (first time I've ever seen a fancam give us almost the entire routine in one piece--that must be a tiny rink), and did all her triples. She may not have the performance glitter aspect of it down pat yet, but she sure didn't stint on the athletics. I always found her a bit aloof from the audience anyway: I think that unlike Michelle or Kurt or Daisuke, she doesn't naturally radiate charisma at the audience. She probably has to work at it, and understandably she spent most of her training time working on things like the jumps. This foray into competitive skating should give her the confidence to gleam a little more in her next competition. You just watch. She will have us out of breath before long.
That's exactly what I mean. Her score might have been higher considering her own previous Olympics standards, but from the current figure skating standards, her scores were fair. It is her first competition in 20 months, and she will most likely become more natural in competitions once she gets more used to competing again (as well as her new spins). She is a bit rusty but not as rusty as I thought she would be considering her long absence. I am so happy that she is in good shape even after 20 months.
Actually, now that I watch it again, you are right. It is not the flexibility that I thought she was lacking. I mean she is not super flexible as she herself said in previous interviews, but she is flexible enough to have beautiful positions. I especially loved her first spin positions. What I noticed was something awkward in the middle of her last combination spins, which is something new that she tried probably because of the new spin rules. I think she might still be getting used to it. I am just being hyper critical because I am afraid that I might blindly accept whatever she does just because of my nationality.
LOL. What did you expect? Another Vancouver?
I think she was doing it purely to get enough TES, not b/c she's so thrilled to be competing at a B-comp in Europe in this freezing weather (her flight was massively delayed, and she arrived 1 day later than planned b/c of snow), and so on. The min TES requirement is ridiculous, since she's not only the reigning Oly champion, but she did compete in 2 worlds after the Vancouver competition, and medaled in both events (silver), plus she still holds the world record scores in short & long plus combined. Perhaps the only requirement should've been that Yuna wins the Korean nationals, maybe. But regardless, she came and did her thing better than most people expected after a long break (one & a half years)
I loved the dress as well but I agree that her skating appears a bit tentative and that might be why some people feel that they don't like the program or the choreography yet. Also, her music is a little too difficult for me to understand. Maybe I might begin to like it as I see her program more. She seems to present the character well, but somehow I couldn't completely get into the music just yet.
Jump content in free: 3lz-3t,3f,2a-2t-2lo,2a-3t,3lo,3lz,3s ? Can we dream??
Yeah, I understand. It was certainly not the Vancouver performance and she did look a little... how should I say, not completely into the program as she usually is in competitions. As Mathman mentioned, her ending pose was so abruptly ended, which is usually not the case with her. I think all the reasons you listed had an impact, as well as the fact that she was competing after 20 months. She must have been tense, nervous and was probably trying to get used to competing again during the program and trying to focus on the program. I think by her next competition, she will look more natural and into her program.
It's not known at this point whether she was training the 3Loop. I doubt it, but she has her old coaches back so who knows. I'm expecting her to repeat her 2011 Worlds LP jump layout:
That's still more than what the top senior ladies are doing these days, with two Lutzes and a difficult triple-triple.
I think we all should, actually. I am not Korean and I dont even play one on TV. I am not mobbed like Elvis every wherer I try and go. I am not an OGMedalist doing a comeback, starting at a backwater competition....I can't imagine what she is going through in her head. I think she did just fine and is probably glad to have that short out of the way. I wouldnt read too much into her not holding her pose or playing to the crowd....the main thing is she is back and that is good for skating.....

New MINI production model announced - inspired by Traveller Concept
Article Summary
January 12, 2006 BMW will be enhancing the MINI family with a further model. The new MINI model will offer increased interior space and increased functionality in order to appeal to the distinctively experience-oriented and active MINI customer. The new car will take its inspiration from the MINI Detroit design concept shown at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) this week. Although it has yet to be defined which of the unique ideas and design features presented on the concept will be implemented for series production, Dr. Michael Ganal in his speech at the NAIAS stated a time frame of three years for the realization of the new MINI model.

Purchase Reason
This is very calming and decorative in an office that has beautiful outdoor views in most areas but an inner office.
Purchase Reason
The mural is great, very nice and detailed. The only issue was I had to spend another $10 on industrtial strength hanging strips because the one little set provided fell off and couldnt hold it up. Just awful that they give you such wasted strips.

The do-it-all bike!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I could write a huge review on this awesome bike but the bottom line is that this is the do-it-all go to bike in my stable. It pedals just as efficient as my XC 29ers, climbs like a 26er, and has just enough suspension to shred down black diamond rocky sections like a downhill bike. All at half the cost of a Pivot Mach 4! VPP is spot-on!
Love it!!!!!!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought one of the last Large size ones from Backcountry and glad I did. I love this bike. My riding has improved thanks to its great fit and handling. I know this is the XL size posting and I have a L, but if you are contemplating buying an XL, this bike rocks! Arrived in box completely secure and in perfect condition. If you want to improve your Mt. Bike skills, I highly recommend this bike.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Rode the fully loaded SOLO Carbon XX1, etc and the a similar loaded Bronson, SOLO or 5010 in the US is one sweet bike. It retailed at �8kish which is nuts for a bike, looking at a Ducatti for that money. If you got the cash then go for the 5010 / SOLO,will it make you ride any better, no, watched a kid on a clapped out Nukeproof do some crazy stuff... Get this, learn to ride it, upgrade as bits fall off...

Observation of a weak fan base!
Posted 09 October 2012 - 09:00 AM
I made the following observations from the Seachickens game:
1. Fans steady walking in during the first half. Why do you even bother? 8 seats in front of me were empty through the entire 1st quarter and then these fans come in all painted up and geared out after missing 25% of the game! Lol, had these two girls come in with 5 min left in the 2nd quarter wearing the blue and black with the face paint on....they left at halftime and never returned. Never cheered or yelled, just sat there on their phones!
2. Only near fight at the stadium was between two "panther" fans and get this, it was over standing and cheering. The guy that was standing and cheering was wearing an old Collins jersey, but it was obvious he was more of a fan than most in my section combined. It was also obvious he probably scraped to get the ticket and was financially able to buy the latest and greatest panther gear. The guy he was arguing with had the look of some one given the tickets from their corporate sales team. And all the while, these two are arguing and some Steve Urkel looking dude is playing up his Seachickens. But no, the argument is between panther fans.
3. Why doesn't our fan base rise up on every defensive snap? I only started hearing noise on 3rd downs? And like the other poster said, why are we making noise when our offense steps to the line? Our fan base are idiots! I can see some cheer as the huddle breaks but end it at the line!
4. Fans leaving out while there is still a chance to win! Fan cards need to be revoked!
5. Team store filled after a loss! Knock that off if you want the front office to get the point! You can wait till after a win to by that new hat.
6. After a massive search for tickets to the Dallas game, I'm convinced real Panther fans make up less than 25% of PSL owners. Something has to change in this!
My point to all of this is, let's fix our part before we try madden GMing this team. I'm in Virginia and can't be as "dedicated" as the locals, but I'm trying. As my income goes up over the years I dedicate a little more each year. I'm searching out for PSLs and have gotten some good info from real fans. My ultimate question is, how do we as a fan base start putting real fans in the seats? We need to create a hostile environment and then we can truly complain!

this team has been a complete poo show since the 2008 playoff game. garbage on the field = garbage in the stands. people with PSLs who stick it out have my respect but i'm finding it harder and harder to poo on people who sell out or don't show.

How many of you PSL owners will sell to fans of the away team?
Posted 09 October 2012 - 09:18 AM
Posted 09 October 2012 - 09:20 AM
If you bought a psl and are tired of seeing a poo product.....why not try and turn it into a profit and sell it to a visiting team fan who hasn't seen them in 4-5 years for twice the value, or a local fan at ticket value? We won't establish a home field advantage until PSL's go away. They were great almost 20 years ago to build the stadium and establish the team, but times have changed......I honestly can't wait for the poo storm from PSL owners when the panthers want to build a new stadium.....

I have never and will never sell my tickets to an opposing fan. I'd rather eat the loss of money.
You might view it that way but sorry most PSL owners don't, and the companies who have mass amounts of PSL's don't either. It's a business and its how Jerry wanted it.
Posted 09 October 2012 - 09:25 AM
I'm asking what can be done on our part to improve! Not whining about how butt hurt your are over FO decisions. Let's look alive! Detroit has better fans than we do! As do the Cleveland Browns
if you're like 27 or so cleveland was really, really good for at least a little while in your lifetime and you were probably brought up cheering for the browns. the lions are also a much improved team now.
amazingly it seems like having a long legacy or winning or hey even both tend to improve attendance and loyalty.

In Final Week Romney Coverage Increasingly Negative, MSNBC Had Zero Favorable Romney Stories
According to the latest study of the last week of the media's coverage of the 2012 presidential election, Romney's coverage turned increasingly negative. The worst example was that of MSNBC which didn't have any positive stories about Romney's campaign, not a single one.
The study conducted by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, showed that MSNBC had zero positive stories about Romney while its Obama coverage skewed 51% positive for the President.
Fox News also increased its negative coverage, for Obama in that case, but its coverage was not nearly so negative against Obama as MSNBC's was against Romney. The study found that Fox News gave only 5 percent of its coverage to positive Obama stories (with 56 percent negative) while the cable network gave Romney 42 percent positive coverage (with 11 percent negative).
With all news coverage tabulated, Romney's coverage got more negative in the final week with 33 percent of his coverage skewing negative and only 16 percent positive. In contrast, Obama got 29 percent positive coverage with 19 percent negative.
"For Mitt Romney in the final week, the tone of coverage remained largely unchanged from the previous two weeks. Negative stories in the press outnumbered positive ones 33 percent to 16 percent," Pew reported.
But Romney may have suffered in final days from the press focusing less on him relative to his opponent. After receiving roughly identical levels of coverage for most of October, in the last week of campaigning Obama was a significant presence in eight out of 10 campaign stories compared with six in 10 for Romney-one of the biggest disparities in any week after Labor Day.
Interestingly, Pew found that Twitter actually increased in positivity for Mitt Romney in the final weeks of the campaign while Facebook's balance didn't much change in the final weeks. The blogs, however, saw an upsurge in positive coverage of Obama.
Another interesting find was that Obama got no clear bounce in media coverage after that third debate even though so many pundits said Obama had redeemed himself with it. The study also found that Obama got better positive coverage after his party convention than Romney got from the Republican convention.
Don't tell me the Old Media isn't biased.

This is real good news.
Phoronix: S3TC Now Golden For Linux & Open-Source?
Many Phoronix readers have written in asking about the news this week concerning HTC joining the Open Invention Network. In particular, many Phoronix readers are interested in HTC joining OIN due to their acquisition of S3 Graphics earlier in the year and the accumulated graphics IP portfolio...
This is real good news.
Sounds like S4TC is about to be released, making S3TC irrelevant. I've been around the block a few times. Every time we attain a victory, it turns out to be irrelevant to the present day.
I doubt that the Mesa developers will accept S3TC because of an agreement not to sue people for using this on Linux. Linux is only one of the many kernels that they support.
I'm sorry but I do not understand. This patent falls under this "action"?
How can we verify this?
Nice. This and the aspm power squash on the same day.
Here you go:
HTC has become an OIN licensee.OIN® grants patent license to licensee
– All OIN patents and applications for all products
Licensee grants patent license to OIN®
– All licensee patents and applications for the Linux System
Licensee grants license to other current and future licensees
– All licensee patents and applications for the Linux System
Therefore, HTC grants license to other current and future (OIN) licensees: All licensee patents (all HTCs patents) and applications for the Linux System
Therefore, any of the 280 companies who are members of the OIN have just been granted a license from HTC for all patents held by HTC which are applicable to Linux.
This cross-licensing is why OIN is described as a "network". The way that the "may not sue other OIN compnies" bit works is that all of the OIN companies license each other. They all have licenses for each others patents.
Here are the 280 companies:
Any company amongst this list is licensed to use its own patents (of course) and also all of the patents applicable to Linux from the other 279 companies.
This amounts to a lot of patents, BTW.
Last edited by hal2k1; 11-11-2011 at 03:53 AM.
And when a Linux application happens to be compatible with BSD?
I think they won't blame Mesa devs for this, given the Linux compatibility that exists within BSD. But it may be true that the BSD people get problems with this. Anyway, this is already a great step forward for open-source graphics.

Review: Cruz del sol Reposado Tequila
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 29, 2012
According to the website information, Cruz Tequila contains no chemicals, additives or flavorings. It is produced from pure 100% blue agave grown in the Mexican State of Jalisco. After harvesting this agave, it is steamed in traditional hornos (or brick ovens) for two days. The cooked agave is then allowed to cool after which the juice is extracted and then fermented. The Cruz Del Sol Reposado is double distilled and aged in oak barrels for five months. All of the Cruz Tequila is packaged and bottled using recycled materials. This includes the blown glass bottles and the aluminum caps as well as the aluminum cross on the front label.
This product is being brought into my home market of Alberta by local the Importer PB Beverages who arranged for me to receive a sample bottle to review here on my website.
Here is an excerpt from my review:

Cranial mononeuropathy VI is a nerve disorder. It prevents some of the muscles that control eye movements from working well. As a result, people may see two of the same image (double vision).
Abducens paralysis; Abducens palsy; Lateral rectus palsy; Vith nerve palsy; Cranial nerve VI palsy
Cranial mononeuropathy VI is damage to the sixth cranial (skull) nerve. This nerve, also called the abducens nerve helps you move your eye sideways toward your temple (laterally).
Disorders of this nerve can occur with:
In some people, there is no obvious cause.
Because there are common nerve pathways through the skull, the same disorder that damages the sixth cranial nerve may affect other cranial nerves (such as the third or fourth cranial nerve).
When the sixth cranial nerve does not work properly, you cannot turn your eye outwards toward your ear. You can still move your eye up, down, and towards the nose, unless other nerves are affected.
In general symptoms may include:
Tests typically show that one eye has trouble looking to the side, while the other eye moves normally. An examination shows the eyes do not line up -- either at rest, or when looking in the direction of the weak eye.
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in visual problems related to the nervous system (neuro-ophthalmologist).
If your health care provider diagnoses swelling or inflammation of, or around the nerve, medications called corticosteroids will be used.
Sometimes, the condition may disappear without treatment. People with diabetes may benefit from close control of blood sugar levels.
Until the nerve heals, wearing an eye patch will relieve double vision.
Treating the cause may improve the condition. Most people in whom no cause is found recover completely.
Complications may include permanent vision changes.
Call your health care provider if you have double vision.
There is no way to prevent this condition. However, people with diabetes may reduce the risk by controlling their blood sugar.

This is the most amazing product ever! I've tried basically every shampoo & conditioner brand available, from cheap stuff, to high end salon products, but his is by far the best! I use this as my everyday conditioner. It's super moisturizing, but not greasy at all, even if you put it on your roots! My hair is so soft and frizz-free, I don't even need to use any other product afterwards!
I love using this to cowash my coarse relaxed hair. I also use it when my hair is in braids or when rinsing out henna or rhassoul clay. It's very light and has a great smell, however I don't rely on this conditioner alone to moisturize my hair.

Crowds descend on capital for Obama's inaugurationSHERYL GAY STOLBERG
The New York Times | January 20,2013AP Photo
Work crews lay down special mats Saturday to protect the lawn on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in preparation for the 57th presidential inauguration.WASHINGTON Tens of thousands of visitors most, but not all, happy Democrats streamed into a dressed-up capital city this weekend as organizers prepared for an inauguration that, while not as grand as four years ago, is still cause for celebration supporters of President Barack Obama.
Barbara and Loren Ing drove their minivan here from rural Ohio, lugging a trailer filled with glass centerpieces. As a volunteer for the society representing her native state, Illinois, Barbara Ing who ordinarily works in the layaway department of her local Kmart spent months creating the table decor for the societys inaugural ball, one of countless unofficial parties marking Obamas second swearing-in.
At the historic Willard Hotel where the four-night inaugural rate for elegant Oval Suites is $22,800, with a $27,000 catering minimum women in mink coats and pearls milled about the lobby.
The bartender mixed Blue Hawaiians in honor of Obamas birthplace. In the kitchen, the pastry chef spent last week baking delicate French macarons in red, white and blue.
By Saturday afternoon, out-of-towners clutching maps strolled past the White House in the bright sunshine, as street vendors hawked inaugural trinkets. Parade reviewing stands were decked with patriotic bunting, Pennsylvania Avenue was lined with flags, and across town at the Washington Convention Center, workers were busy erecting lighting and stages for Obamas two official inaugural balls.
Tens of thousands of ticketholders will cram into the 2.3-million-square-foot convention center on Monday night to hear Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and the cast of TVs Glee all while hoping for a glimpse of Obama and his wife, Michelle, twirling around the dance floor.
Its clearly not as big or as plentiful or elaborate as the last time, but in many ways for Democrats its even sweeter, said Hilary Rosen, a prominent Obama supporter. People are thrilled about the president; there are a record number of women in the Senate. Gay people are happy, and Latinos. You have these pillars of the election; it meant something different to everybody, but it culminated in this collectively powerful feeling.
For Donna Hardy, a federal employee from Oakland, Calif., who walked in front of the White House on Saturday clutching a newly purchased Obama hat, the second swearing-in is more historic than the first.
An African American being elected back to back? she asked. I dont think well ever see that again.
Officials expect 600,000 to 800,000 people to turn out on the National Mall to witness Mondays ceremony on the West Front of the Capitol a crowd typical for most inaugurations but far short of the 1.8 million who clogged the city in 2009, creating pedestrian gridlock that kept many attendees from getting to their seats.
This year, the congressional committee overseeing the Capitol ceremony arranged for extra cellphone towers on the Mall, and devised a mobile phone app with a GPS system to help inaugural-goers navigate the city, said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., the committee chairman.
Schumer spent Saturday at the Capitol, overseeing preparations as tables were set in Statuary Hall for Mondays inaugural luncheon. As master of ceremonies, he will make opening remarks and introduce the participants; he said the thought that so many people who have been waiting with anticipation for months wont be able to get their seats was one of two fears that had kept him awake at night. The other is that he will miss his cue to introduce the chief justice.
Im practicing my speech, but Im less worried about that and more worried about when Im supposed to get up and say, Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Roberts Jr., the chief justice of the Supreme Court, he said. Im worried I wont get up in time.
Obama will take his official oath on Sunday just before noon in the Blue Room of the White House; the Constitution states that presidential terms expire at noon on Jan. 20. Mondays festivities, which coincide with Martin Luther Kings Birthday, are ceremonial. (Obama will use one of Kings Bibles, along with one that belonged to Abraham Lincoln, when he retakes the oath on Monday.)
To honor King, Obama designated Saturday a national day of service. He and Michelle, and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, spent part of the afternoon helping to refurbish an elementary school in Northeast Washington, with hundreds of other volunteers organized by the City Year nonprofit group. Barack and Michelle Obama stained a bookshelf.
While much of Washington is gearing up for a party, some Republicans are lying low or getting out of town.
My wife had a partial knee replacement, so I am staying with her in Mississippi, Trent Lott, the former senator from that state, wrote in an email. Most Republicans will be otherwise busy. Some will attend events and parties, because it does only happen every four years.
But Democrats are in the mood to celebrate. Emilys List, which helps elect Democratic women who favor abortion rights, was planning a party for 1,400 to welcome female congressional newcomers, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
Were celebrating our shattering of glass ceilings everywhere, said Jen Bluestein, the groups communications director. The Futuro Fund, which mobilized Hispanic voters in support of Obama, staged a symposium on Latino issues on Saturday as part of a three-day Latino Inaugural. The group was planning a star-studded celebration at the Kennedy Center on Sunday night, headlined by Eva Longoria, the Desperate Housewives actress, Jose Feliciano, Chita Rivera, Rita Moreno and other Hispanic entertainers.
Although Bruce Springsteen a staple of Obama campaign events will not be returning to Washington for this years inauguration, James Taylor will perform America the Beautiful, Kelly Clarkson will sing My Country Tis of Thee, and Beyonce will close the inaugural ceremony with the national anthem.
In 2009, hotels were sold out months in advance; marketing representatives said rooms were finally booking up last week, in part because celebrities and their entourages were making last-minute decisions to come.
The amount of celebrities, the wattage, may be a little dimmer, said Barbara Martin, whose business, BrandLinkDC, represents luxury clients, including the W Hotel on the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route. Like, I dont think Beyonce is party-hopping. That being said, I feel that there are just as many A-list and B-list celebrities. There are probably fewer A-plus ones.
This being Washington, all sorts of companies, organizations and federal agencies are trying to get in on the act. Knob Creek, the Kentucky bourbon maker, is promoting itself as the exclusive whiskey being served at a candlelight celebration Obama is hosting for his donors at the National Building Museum on Sunday night.
The U.S. Geological Survey is hoping reporters will write about the building material used to construct both the Capitol and the White House: Aquia Creek sandstone. The National Archives, in a rare treat for history buffs, is marking the inauguration by putting two pages of George Washingtons first inaugural address a document ordinarily in a vault on display.
Its one of those documents that I informally call a goose bump it gives me goose bumps, said Michael Hussey, the curator of the exhibit, which closes at the end of the month.
Though some view the inauguration as partisan, Steve Kerrigan, chairman of Obamas inaugural committee, said he and his staff hoped that Americans would walk away from this with the sense that it is not just a celebration of the president, but a celebration of the entire country.
That is the view of Barbara Ing, the volunteer from Ohio. She voted for Mitt Romney, Obamas Republican opponent. This is her fifth inaugural making the centerpieces for the Illinois ball.
Every inaugural seems different, she said. Different energy, different people. I think everybody should do it at least once.MORE IN Wire NewsPHOENIX The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Tuesday for the assault on a Texas...

Building a Better User Experience by Designing in the Browser
As a web designer at Four Kitchens, part of my job is leading the production team's visual design objectives. A key part of this process is ensuring the client's satisfaction with the overall look and feel of the site. Since most of my projects utilize an agile development process, I am no stranger to shifting objectives or newly added requirements. One of the biggest challenges I face in agile development is adapting the design process to fit.
If you've ever worked on a traditional web design project, it should come as no surprise that the most common way to get client sign-off on visual design is through comps. Generally speaking, a comp is a comprehensive, high fidelity, Photoshopped layout of a website—or rather, what appears to be a website. It is just an image after all, an image of what your website would look like under perfect weather conditions. This delusion of grandeur, when used as a deliverable or finished product, often misleads the client into a false sense of usability. Here are my issues with comps:
1. Looks Like in Photoshop ≠ Looks Like in Browser
This is not new information: different browsers render web fonts differently—colors can vary, not to mention the plethora of possible sizes of a user's screen on any given device. Still, it is important to understand how delivering a comp as an end product sets up client expectations. Even the most tech-savvy clients signing-off on a comp will, by nature, expect to see that perfect image and no deviations. Don't get me wrong; it's not their fault. As production teams who have delivered comps for years, we have set them up for that exact expectation.
2. Images Don't React
Comps do not present the client with any sense of interaction. Sure, as a designer you can present the various button states as separate images to a client, but you're asking them to "imagine" how the button would function. Should you also expect that they imagine the multiple methods of interaction for mouse versus touch devices? Not to mention, you are creating more work in an outside application that will have to be re-created in code, bringing me to my next point.
3. Costly and Finite
As a designer, you spend many hours focusing on detail after detail of something that will never see the light of day after the project is over. And if the scope changes or new functionality emerges, which is inevitable working for an agile shop, your perfect comp gets thrown in the trash. Or worse. You have to redo the comps. Sigh.
4. Less Team Collaboration
Working on perfecting comps means that most planning decisions are made between the designer and client. This exclusivity leaves other team members out of the process, and is a perfect recipe for unhappy developers. Developers get stuck trying to create an interaction thought up by the designer and client, who may have a limited understanding of how it's actually going to be implemented.
Changing the Process
So, with all these problems attributed to comps, how can you transform this archaic design process? Let me share how my team and I adopted the design-in-the-browser process for a recent client.
My initial reaction to the idea was something along the lines of: "YES! Let's design in the browser! Get rid of these over-detailed, time-sucking, lies!"
My excitement quickly turned to panic when I considered the giant hole this would leave in my design process. Now I needed to come up with a way to sell a visual language for a website—an extension of a well-known brand—and get my client to buy into it without my trusty old comps. Quite a challenge, but solving problems is what I do …
Style Tiles for Miles
Long before my team and I began designing in the browser, we'd used Style Tiles to assist clients in making decisions on a sites' aesthetics. If you don't know about Style Tiles, you need to! They are awesome because they allow designers to create fast iterations of very broad visual elements (typography, color palette, etc.). We employed this strategy to achieve faster sign-off on comps, often resulting in fewer iterations and a clearer understanding of the design objectives.
Style Tiles had helped to get comps approved, could they also work if I got rid of comps? The answer, as I soon came to find out: absolutely! However, Style Tiles, in all their glorious splendor, only offer a vague picture of a site (which is the point). Using them to begin building an entire site in the browser would be a very daunting task, especially if more than one designer/developer is helping build the front-end. It was easy to imagine the blank look on my colleague's face if I sent him an approved Style Tile and said, "Here is the design. Make it work!"
Enter the Style Guide
Creating a website style guide is not a new concept. Just look to the team at Starbucks and stare in awe at their thoroughly documented guide. It comes complete with multiple layouts, menus, and widgets—well done for a coffee shop. A website style guide doesn't have to be this fancy or complex; at its core it simply shows the user interface elements used on a website. For my project, I started my Style Guide using Photoshop. Yes, that is correct. I still use Photoshop, along with paper sketches, mood boards, whiteboards, etc. The point here is that I don't ship these off as a deliverable.
After playing in my Photoshop sandbox, I began building the basics in code, starting with the client approved visual design elements from my Style Tile exercise, and then moved onto more fully fleshed out sections: a header with fully responsive navigation, sidebars with multiple backgrounds, complete footer, etc. Being careful not to get too far ahead of myself, I built just enough to cover the web page elements needed for the first few sections we'd be building.
I feel it is important to note that I did not use the style guide for client sign-off, rather to document the look of the site. Client sign-off happened on the real features as we completed building them, allowing the client to authentically interact with the site.
After sufficient wireframing and more play in my Photoshop sandbox, I became more comfortable designing the site in the browser. I was able to make design decisions immediately in code. Because many elements we're already defined thanks to my style guide, it was so much faster. And the best part is, once the team (client included) was satisfied with a design, it was done. It's already been styled with real CSS and it's fully responsive. My client was thrilled to be able to share it with users right out of the starting gate. I could start collecting user feedback, running tests, iterating pitfalls, and producing an overall better user experience.
To sum it up, the design in the browser improved UX in the following ways:
No False Expectations
Internally and externally, our teams were able to test the site's UI design on any browser, on any device. Clients didn't have any expectations of how the site would hypothetically look during an interaction, because it was already working.
Design, Build, and Test Faster
Doing the design directly in code allowed me, as a designer, to test the interactions immediately. This tightened the production cycle (design > development > test) and I could instantly make iterations on a single piece of functionality, changing it site-wide if necessary.
Full Documentation
By starting with a style guide, our team had fully up-to-date documentation of the site's design aesthetics at every step in its production. This document served to maintain control over the design and ensure brand consistency. It also makes an excellent training aid for new members of the team.
Realign the Design
This process allowed the design of the site to grow organically and we were able to realign the design with every new addition. It was perfect for an agile shop, allowing me to design for new features, not force new features into an existing design.
Full Team Collaboration
The icing on the cake: this process brought everyone into an equal understanding of the site. Rather than trying to predict interaction pitfalls, we were course-correcting and changing the functionality and design as a unified team.
In Summary
Comps are part of an old design process, so stop catering to your client with inauthentic, hypothetical experiences. Present your work in the browser to give everyone the real experience.

Nice article. I think Stile Tiles are wonderful and, in fact made a tool to make it even easier to get start on your colors and typography ... it starts with a page very similar to a stile tile and is optimized for Zurb Foundation - but it'll work with any CSS, Sass, LESS set up too: https://github.com/roblevintennis/ditbi
I've been designing in browser for the last couple of months. You're right there's some many advantages to getting started with browser design. But I find that you have to change your process significantly when working in the browser. So significantly that it changed me as a designer. After thinking about the last few months, I wrote up some tips that could help others get started, hopefully. http://andysearles.com/designing-in-the-browser/
Yeah, I liked your short article Andrew ... picked up a hot tip with the Noun project thing...invaluable! I do think that, as with all things, there's no one cookie cutter way to do this. I think we'll look back at these PS vs in browser arguments and think it was all a bit silly. It's not black and white and there's room for variation in personal workflow. Do you already have a team assembled? Are you a one man shop? Do you have PS or Illustrator skills at all? Or, do you have any coding skills?
Obviously, mobile and tablet and other form factors are increasing in market share so we have to implement something like RWD/mobile first to get the job done. This sort of forces at least more in browser prototyping no doubt. But, being a dev first guy, I will always appreciate an extremely talented designer, and well, they love tools like PS. So while I'm more or less pro design in browser I think as always "it depends".
Interesting article Jared, thanks! While I worked as a front-end engineer, I had a lot of discussions with our designers on these topics. I didn't understand why designers create non-reusable specs in PDFs or Wikis, while not thinking about the users of the styleguide, the developers. I think we should let developers extract colors, fonts, assets or grids from the designer specs. This is when styleguides really become usable. They need to be always up-to-date and easy to access, as well as highly structured. This was enough motivation for me to build a company especially focusing on a solution for these problems.
I disagree with that but I can see the author's point. I would call the article 'Building a *Better Visual Design* by Designing in the Browser' instead. User Experience is something wider than placing elements in the interface. The process mentioned here is UI and Visual Design, which are the latest steps in the process. User Experience is about user analysis, requirements, IA, mockups and of course also UI and visual. If the browser design happens after them, I can see the benefit of skipping the photoshop step.
Agile often sacrifice the pure UX for the benefit of the final product (which often is a Minimum Viable Product).
I've been skeptical about how designing in the browser could improve my designs, but there are some good arguments here. I can see now that it would improve how my clients or even project managers experience the design. The downside is it seems to require a strong knowledge of front-end skills.
I would buy this argument if you actually mentioned something - anything - about how this makes the resulting UX better for _users_. As it is, your rationale is all about your own process and that of your team. That's nice, but has nothing to do with the title of your article.
this is really awesome i must say. you have covered almost everything what actually need to know. but all those tutorial need some visual experience so if possible give us some of that.
We are taking a "partnering" approach and collaborating with similar companies and freelancers to offer end-to-end programming projects. You can partner with us to deliver our dev projects ! We are always networking ! http://www.fixxi.net/development-web-programming-services
I agree, the Page Description Diagram is certainly a helpful exercise. I also think wireframes and prototyping can be useful to identify interaction patterns before the building begins. Whatever your direction, the interaction design process can occur at the same time as the visual design. The style guide is the marriage of the interaction design patterns you've deemed necessary and the visual design.
Unfortunately I do not have a public style guide available. Here is a great write-up by Steve Fisher that gives some nice examples: http://netm.ag/M1ALT7
Interesting article Jared. How do you see the interaction design process that precedes design and the use of style tiles? I think something like the Page Description Diagram could be incredibly useful over a traditional 'wireframe.'

Shipwreck group offers tours and training
14 Apr 2014There are thousands of shipwrecks around the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. By one estimate, there are at least 8,000. As the first place in North America reached by Europeans during the age of exploration, the rugged coast here has had centuries to ring up its toll of ships and lives lost.
This boggy landscape of Newfoundland's northern tip does not seem an auspicious spot for a momentous event in human history. The sullen sky hangs low, and icy Arctic winds send shivers through stunted conifers; the tallest, though a century old, are barely above eye level. Just beyond the trees is the slate-grey Atlantic, from which a group of Greenland Vikings emerged around AD 1000 to establish a settlement.
We are incredibly excited to share with you our brand new Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism TV ad. The newest chapter in our continuing story is entitled 'Magic'. It celebrates Newfoundland and Labrador – a place of contrasts and wonders; a place that tells you stories and shows you its inner heart.
