These type of groups seem to have sprung up in large numbers in the 15th Century. Town records from Frankfurt am Main document the typical pattern of the formation of these groups in the Central European towns: The banner-bearers benevolent association was founded in 1440, that of the shoemakers and tailors in 1453, that of the painters in 1455, the
butcher-boys in 1455, the cotton weavers in 1460, and many others were founded about the same date. The journeymen often had direct conflict with the Guilds, and sometimes these came to blows. To ensure their rights were respected both the Guilds and the Journeymans associations used to display their arms and abilities, apparently engaging in the sword dances and similar antics, as well as marching with bared swords for example in the Corpus Christi parade in Krakow.
Dan Sellars wrote:Nope I meant C15th, all looks 15th century to me? Although you do mention some later stuff after. Or have I missed a joke?
What I am more interested in is that in the quote above we are talking about the 'founding' of guilds and they are in the C15th, what about before this? Is there some reason that they were being founded at this time and not before?
I had always assumed that 'guild culture' existed much before this but he burgher guild/fraternal organization seems to be something that developed later right at the end of the medieval period. So are we not really looking at 'medieval' society here? more somthing that developed in the transition to early modern?

Monitor Audio Airstream WS100 Sweepstakes
According to the company:
If you're one of the millions who store and play music from a desktop or laptop, Monitor Audio has designed the WS100 wireless audio system with you in mind. It comprises a pair of stylish cube speakers with amps and wireless receiver on-board. The matching, compact monitors, just 5" in dimension, are precision engineered to deliver clean wideband lossless audio from any computer in seconds. Simply position the speakers, plug-in the USB transmitter and play CD quality sound wire-free.Built for peerless ease of use, the WS100 operates with plug and play simplicity. Power up the speakers with a single mains connection and plug the SKAA transmitter dongle in the nearest USB. When in range of the transmitter (up to 10 metres) as many as four WS100 systems will receive the same source. Further dongles will send pristine lossless audio from up to four sources to the same WS100 system. Integrated with each DAC is a specialised wireless receiver, employing a very high quality digital audio protocol to transport audio from source to destination without compression. Operating in the 2.4GHz band, it protects the lossless signal from other networks with a patented Walking Frequency Diversity™ (WFD) technology, which uses sophisticated and seamless channel-hopping to eliminate clicks, pops and dropouts.
Each active speaker has been optimised to deliver the best audio experience possible from such a space-efficient system. Excellent acoustic design is dovetailed with advanced wireless architecture to maintain a clear signal path from source to speaker, free of the distortion that limits the enjoyment of music. Additionally, the WS100 monitors employ custom-designed tweeters and mid-bass drivers based on the C-CAM transducers used by Monitor Audio's flagship hi-fi speakers. Four decades of design knowhow give the WS100 system a specialised advantage, which rewards music lovers with fabulous lossless audio and robust reliability.

I bought this for my son's first birthday and I'm so glad I did. It's the perfect size slide for him to go down by himself. Spent 10 min pulling it out of the box, putting it together, and cleaning up. Recommend using a power drill, much easier and faster than a screw driver.

Great Product, wrong parts sent in box

About Me Novice
Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Woodland Climber(Colors/Styles Vary):
My son is 18 mos and my daughter is 7 months. They will get years of fun out of this. We have enough space in our basement play area, that we set it up there with the slide going into an inflatable kiddie pool full of balls! Unfortunately, they cant use it right away because the company sent the wrong instructions and screws with it. We were able to locate the instructions online at step 2's web page (it is very easy to assemble), but had to order the correct parts. Hopefully they will be prompt.

Loved it
By Sommer twin mom
from Rogers Arkansas
I got this when my twins were little guys and they climbed on it for a couple of years. My house is big enough we actually used it indoors. With one having special needs we are home a lot. This completely kept our sanity! It's safe, works off energy. I sacrificed a few pieces of furniture to fit it in but it kept everyone happy thru those pre/toddler/post hell years!
Great for all little ages!

About Me Working mom of one
I was nervous about buying this for my son's first birthday, but I am so glad we did. He would have grown out of the smaller climbers that are available way too soon. He cannot play on this by himself, but he is learning to climb the ladder and loves the steering wheels and the slide. He will be able to play with this for a couple years, and that makes this a good purchase for me. We actually keep ours inside, but it is also easy to take apart and put back together. My husband did this over the weekend because we wanted it in the yard for our son's birthday party. My husband made it look easy :)Very happy with this purchase!
Fit also in your living room

Step 2 Climber
By Momof2
from Long Island, NY
Simple assembly, sturdy, good value. Those are the reasons I went with this climber, and it has certainly met my expectations. Thanks toys r us for shipping out my climber so quickly. I was worried it wouldn't come until late August, but it came in 9 days! My little ones will enjoy it for another 2 months or so until it this cold to play outside. Yesterday, it was the kids "pirate ship" , today it was their "space ship". Love this climber, and the colors are great!
Step 2 Woodland climber

About Me Do-It-Yourself, Handyman
Everything was great with it until I went to screw in the screws for the wheels and to hold the whole thing together. There are no holes even started so it was very hard to put it together. It never said you needed a drill, I have one but others may not. There should be at least a starter hole in place and a little better directions than just pictures.
This climber was a lot of fun !

My daughter is 18 months and she loves this slide but i am a little sad cause i readed a review that said the mommy played on the slide too but i can say that this slide does not fit all mommys. so if your over 100 pounds or taller that 5ft dont even try it. :)But my kid does love it so worth the buy!
my kids love it!

So Cute! Kept my boy busy!
By Meektastic
from Hurst, TX
I went the "added fun" route and placed sand at the bottom. My son, who is 3, loves it! He plays for hours. He is big for his age (tall) and I worried that this toy may be too small for him. It actually is just right. I will say this... without me adding the sand, I do not believe just the slide & wheels would entertain him for long periods of time. The slide isn't very big, but big enough for a little "wee!"

House Republicans have been forced to close a potential loophole on their much-touted insider trading law -- a loophole CNN uncovered and reported about last month.
Because of CNN's report, the Senate and House passed new legislation Thursday to close the loophole that could have allowed family members of some lawmakers to profit from inside information.
Senators who were critical of the loophole after it was unearthed applauded the fix.
The STOCK Act, one of the rare bipartisan bills passed this year, was signed by President Barack Obama in April.
Lawmakers proclaimed that the bill, officially called the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, would restore trust in government. It also applied new rules to some employees of the executive branch.
But CNN discovered the law that members of Congress thought they voted for earlier this year wasn't exactly as advertised. The STOCK Act requires that any trades of $1,000 or more made on or after July 3 have to be reported to the House and Senate within 45 days. But the House and Senate came out with two completely different interpretations of that rule.
In the Senate, the Ethics Committee released one page of guidelines in June ruling that members and their spouses and dependent children all have to file reports after they make stock or securities trades. But the House Ethics Committee disagreed.
Its 14-page memo released in June found that House members and aides covered by the law that their spouses and children were not covered. The Office of Government Ethics, which oversees all federal executive branch employees, sided with the House, informing its employees that their spouses and children don't need to file these periodic reports.
Both of the lead sponsors of the Senate bill didn't realize the discrepancy until CNN brought it to their attention last month.
Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown, the only Republican senator to attend the White House signing ceremony, said he was "obviously very concerned."
"Say I find out some information, I tell my wife and she goes and trades on it, what's the difference?" Brown told CNN.
Brown, who speaks constantly about this bill in his neck-and-neck race for re-election against consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, said the whole point of passing the law was to demonstrate that members of Congress weren't held to a different standard.
"I mean, bottom line, we're supposed to have that level of transparency and have us be treated like every other member of the United States and bottom line, if we can't do it, then -- sorry, if they can't do it -- then we shouldn't be able to do it as well."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, also criticized the House decision not to include congressional spouses and children when the loophole was brought to her attention.
"I think it's wrong, and I think it's unfortunate because the reality is the whole point of this legislation is we should play by the exact same rules as every other American citizen, and when all of America looks at Washington, they know it's broken."
"We're trying to restore just a small measure of confidence through this kind of transparency and accountability," Gillibrand said.
After CNN told Brown about the House interpretation, Brown fired off a letter to his GOP colleagues in the House, Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
"The House interpretation leaves a loophole and the appearance of an ongoing double standard," Brown said in the letter.
"It is deeply troubling that the House of Representatives and Executive Branch would attempt to operate under a substantially weaker interpretation than the Senate," he added, demanding that the House adopt the Senate's view and require all spouses and dependents to begin reporting stock trades.
Why was there a difference?
Robert Walker, a Washington ethics attorney and former chief counsel for both the House and Senate Ethics Committees, explained that the Senate bill did include a provision that covered spouses and children, but when Cantor's office wrote the House version, this language was shifted to a different section of the bill. The change meant that spouses and dependent children weren't subject to the new reporting requirements.
"The House recrafted some of the provisions of it and moved some of the provisions around. In that process, some of the Senate bill that applied to filing of these new reports was moved from one section of the bill to the other," Walker said.
The Senate Ethics Committee decided to stick with the spirit of the law that senators originally intended, but the House Ethics Committee went with the letter of the law, which included the loophole not requiring spouses and children to report financial transactions in a timely fashion.
Why did it matter?
The loophole went to the heart of what the STOCK Act set out to do.

What I Have Been Making And Wearing (Up-cycled Shirt to Bracelet)
I had this old cotton long sleeve shirt that was stretched out because I wore it when I was pregnant. It seems easy to stretch out certain ribbed cotton tops. I decided to cut the wrist portion of the arm sleeve off and turn it into a fun funky bracelet.
I made two little rosettes with more material from the old shirt, then added some cabochons, a button, and some metal chain. I used hot glue to attach everything except the chain. The chain I sewed on by hand, in 4 spots for each chain.
You won't attach the chain links, since you need the bracelet to be able to stretch for slipping on and off.
I attached each chain in 4 spots, sewing by hand to secure it onto the fabric.
I also made a ring out of the same old shirt.
A few other things I made, this peacock necklace and earring set. You can find ones similar in my shop.
Well that's what I have been making and wearing.
Sorry I don't have more what I wore pics to share. You see I have been traveling for a friends wedding. I thought I would share that pic again of me trying on my old wedding dress. I realize my arm looks funny in the picture, I was trying to keep the dress up since it's to big for me anymore. I can't wait to share pics from our trip. Maybe the new bride will give me permission to share some from her wedding. We will just have to see.
Please join us every Friday - Monday for our Anything Goes Linky here at Bacon Time.

Microsoft simplifies Bing search results page
Bing is now taking a "less is more" approach with the latest redesign of its search results page.
Microsoft's new tweaks to its search results have eliminated all of the information previously squeezed on the "left rail," offering a less-cluttered look and feel. The search results themselves take center stage, so you're not distracted by peripheral information.

'Game of Thrones' returns to record ratings
4.4 million viewers tune in for third season premiere
"Game of Thrones" is only getting hotter.
On Sunday, a record 4.4 million viewers tuned in for the third season premiere of the HBO series. That's a 13 percent increase since its premiere last year, according to Entertainment Weekly.
When the night's two repeat airings are added in, viewership escalates to an impressive 6.7 million. Not bad, considering that it was competing with a holiday, as it was Easter Sunday, as well as the third season finale of AMC's "The Walking Dead," which also aired at 9 p.m. ET.
"Walking Dead," meanwhile, set its own record. According to the network, Sunday's finale was watched by 12.4 million, with 8.1 million in the adult demographic, making it the largest audience in the zombie series' history.
Over on the History Channel, the two-hour finale of "The Bible" miniseries wasn't far behind, pulling in 11.7 million viewers.

Firefighters will walk out for four hours between 6pm and 10pm this evening and tomorrow as part of a lengthy and bitter dispute with the government over pensions.
Sports minister Helen Grant does not believe the law needs changing to make match-fixing a specific criminal offence.
The Government makes "no apology" for the new immigration rules which prevented former boxing champion and convicted rapist Mike Tyson from entering the UK, Immigration Minister Mark Harper said.
Barclays is to end its sponsorship of the capital's Boris bikes, introduced by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson in 2010.
Senior officials from the five leading sports have been called into a summit meeting with the Government today on how to tackle the scourge of match-fixing, it can be revealed.
The Mayor of London is to call today for "more careful" language in discussing the dangers of cycling in the capital, as he warns safety protests such as the so-called "TfL die-in" risk scaring people off.
Plans to increase MPs pay by 11 per cent have been labelled 'wholly inappropriate' by a cabinet minister in this time of austerity.

The use of Boris Bikes this autumn fell year-on-year for the first time since the cycle hire scheme was introduced in 2010.

DropShip/JumpShip Travel
Posted 03 November 2011 - 09:06 PM
I am going under the assumption that, from the articles I've read, you're actually going to use the Inner Sphere map; If I'm wrong about this, please let me know?
Thank you.

Adding travel time would only break up and fracture the community, make it frustrating to play. You want players to be able to jump in and have fun, especially with a F2P game.
The 1:1 time scale is in reference to the timeline, introduction of 'mechs, news, storyline, and technology, etc. It doesn't mean your own pilot is in constant 1:1 time. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to do more then one match per day usually.

Why they like the idea of faithfully adapting those elements is self-evident, yes. I didn't say I didn't understand the perspective at all, I just said that I didn't see the need for it from a gameplay perspective. I get the impression that some people advocate ideas like this on principle, and not because they genuinely think that it would enhance the enjoyment of the game. Personally, I think it would be a completely detrimental system to implement.
I can't say I agree with that, especially. While I appreciate that some sort of tactical element exists, at some level anyway, I doubt very much that many people would find that it actually enhanced the game for them at all.
If I'm a newly minted Mech pilot who is excited to play the game and join the employ of my friend's Merc company, the idea that I have to log on, get on a ship, and then log off for 3 days, or a week, or two, and not play the game? That doesn't feel like strategy, it feels like arbitrary, ridiculous inconvenience. It kills enthusiasm -- it prevents people from getting involved in the game, and I fail to see how you can write off someone who doesn't like that idea as being someone who just wants instant gratification. Such a think would probably make a sizable chunk of the audience simply put the game down for good, or never buy it in the first place if they knew beforehand.
The strategy involved in taking account of travel times comes in at the high levels of command, as the leader of a very large merc group, or the general of an army, where the shifting of resources on a large scale is the name of the game. But this isn't a game about being a general, it is a game about being a single Mech pilot. In my opinion, the strategy in this game should come on the battlefield, not on the way to it.
I honestly doubt there is a very big audience that fits that profile, frankly, and an even smaller one (do they exist at all?) that would have avoided it because they objected to the idea of not making travel times between systems take a literal week -- or even a day or two.

Hopefully there is sort of a mini-campaign of linked scenarios to take a planet over the course of a few days or the weekend. If your team wins, then your House gets the planet.

That way you can use real-time JumpShip movements etc and still have no breaks in the action for the players.
Posted 04 November 2011 - 03:00 AM
I'm not really sure how things worked in MBPT. But in MekWars, your ships launch from your planets, and can only penetrate so far. You have to take enemy planets to go deeper. I'm going to suspect it will be somewhat like this. Actual Jumpship management might be taking things beyond the scope of this project. I think ultimately not everyone is willing to sit though that kinda of administration. People want instant action, not everyone, but I would surmise many do.
Dropships are another matter however. I started another topic a few days ago about the roll of the Dropship, as almost your Merc Corps Headquarters. Also as a limiting factor in the amount of Battlemechs, ammunition and supplies your forces can carry at anyone time. Making your choices more critical. Furthermore it might offer a currency sink for larger Dropship upgrades, allowing you to store more Battlemechs, and supplies. This would open another way for the company to make some money. Do you spend all your C-Bills upgrading to a better Dropship, or do you spend $10 on the upgrade ;-)

That way you can use real-time JumpShip movements etc and still have no breaks in the action for the players.
1) Players get their training completed, a contract or set of orders comes down, the player gets their 'Mech into the DropShip and then begins the next stage of the cycle,
2) A Player logs in and checks their own units daily requirements, first, perhaps some simulator training -the SAME combat interface as the normal one, but only with bots instead of people. Skill improvement comes much more slowly than on a 'real' battlefield -even if there are going to be PvE bots to fight on the 'real' field- and checks the block for their unit's practice. If it's not sim training, are there other things for the pilot to do to stay current with their unit?
3) Once done with that, if there's anything at all, the pilot then pushes a button on their monitor to drop into 'Ghost' mode. They can select from on-going fights that are going on which they see, they select a 'Mech on the field or that is yet to be deployed, which will set up automatically to match, as closely as possible, their own personal, re-adjusted cockpit, and hit the Launch button. They are immediately caught up to the 'Mechs assigned element and away they go. If they're getting into a 'Mech that is already in battle, the 'Mech becomes 'invisible' for a moment, perhaps even resetting to the edge of the battlefield, as defined by combatant element total size, and the pilot is launched into battle. Perhaps the 'Mech is even repaired to its original, pre-battle state for that day. The Ghost interface automatically takes out any opponents or immediate opponent allies against their 'home' unit from the interface either for current or pending operations as a play option, and away they go.
4) Once done with that fight, they simply drop back into the Ghost interface again, choose another fight, another 'Mech, and go play. Simple as that.
The con's are...
1) that they would be playing outside their own unit, most likely, for quite a bit of time,
2) they would still have to wait on the time to pass for their own unit until it was time to go to work,
3) they would not be using their own BattleMech in the game, but rather a PvE 'Mech, the AI of which is shoved aside to accommodate them
4) unless there was some manner of voice coordination with their team mates, and perhaps not even then, they might not be playing right beside their friends all the time.
The pro's are...
1) they would continue to be able to play unabated,
2) they would gain valuable insight into the strategy and tactics of both sides of the combats they get to jump into, in order to...
...... A) learn new and valuable tactical skills they would not pick up being stuck specifically to their own element, and
...... be able to make reports on tactical abilities, level of competence and leadership, cohesion, etc. to higher in their own unit
3) they would gain valuable insight into piloting non-role-specific 'Mechs, being allowed to grab whatever is available, albeit stuck within the TO&E of the unit they're borrowing the 'Mech from,
4) certain pilot-specific skills would continue to advance, and they might even gain new skills if gaining experience is not restricted to their specific role or the 'Mech(s) they drive
5) this would give the strategy mongers, tactics impaired, and paper pushers the time they need to ensure everything is straight for their unit before they go into a fight, and be able to requisition parts and supplies from the economy if they need them.
Now, I have an answer for Cons #2, above, about the time factor. There are going to be a LOT of factions in the game, so why not have a 2-part system, a calendar and a mission completion button, for setting up travel times (both interstellar and interplanetary; both automatically set based on the COs decided mission launch time) and battle schedules? Here's how it works...
1) every CO is responsible for setting their time-table on their own calendar. Once combat operations are complete for a certain fight, they check the battle as clear, and go to start unit repairs for the next fight or the next set of orders/contract. Units that are in transit, either form of travel, are considered to be battle-clear for this next part,
2) the moment everyone units calendar comes into battle-clear or in-transit status, the time-line automatically jumps to the next calendar date declared in the database, whether it's a few hours or several days. If the next event is a high-altitude drop into an LZ once DropShips get to a planet, then so be it. Do I think this will work all the time? No. Do I think it will work a lot better than even I'm giving it odds for? Yes.
This cuts the time for paper pushers and battle chiefs, and limits how many fights MechWarriors will get into while in-transit, but I think this would be the most realistic means of strategy development and execution without really holding the game up all that much. If we're going to have a 1:1 day ratio for everything, which I really love the idea of, we should make that 1:1 ratio, with potential time skips, work for everyone and all possible combat game scenarios.
By the way, that's what I was going to put in the dev suggestions forum, and still might.

More complex stuff can be done but with no Modding come Launch, the engine in use will be the limiter to what can be done. Send your Jumpships, send your Dropships to Planet ZXY. when they arrive, call/text/yell into my headset, In the mean time I will be killing stuff over hear with the gals/lads and have no qualms about going and killing stuff over there.

Some of the battles for planets took YEARS to complete.
Let the leagues and ladders than will certainly follow the release worry about travel times (I too remember scheduling matches on a Monday night so that in 2 weeks we could fight for control of the planet and having to fight through 3 plants to get to our objective).

Closed Loop Governance
SOA Software's Policy Manager™ and Service Manager™ combine to form a comprehensive closed-loop SOA Governance solution.
The diagram below shows the relationships between SOA governance, security and management, demonstrating how SOA Policy Management forms a closed loop of policy, metrics, and audit.
The alternative to a closed-loop solution is a set of stand-alone applications for governance, management and security. These solutions may offer loose integration, but we have yet to identify a single organization that has successfully integrated stand-alone solutions in a production environment.
On one hand, stand-alone run-time solutions don't deliver higher value design-time, or governance capabilities. They require central policy management, don't offer developer or architect services, and have no understanding of the relationship between a provider and a consumer.
On the other hand, design-time, and governance solutions can only deliver value when they are built on a runtime foundation. They require a run-time solution to enforce policies; they need the run-time to provide statistics and metrics for demand, capacity, and value monitoring; and they also need the run-time to provide an audit trail to ensure that messages comply with defined policies.
Closed loop means:
- Defining and managing actionable policies in a governance solution at design-time
- Enforcing these policies via deep integration with a management solution at run-time
- Auditing that these policies are being enforced
- Using industry standards (WS-Policy, WS-MEX) where appropriate for information exchange
Closed loop infrastructure enables demand and Value Management
- Collect performance, usage and exception statistics at run-time
- Track these statistics via the governance solution
- Use live, audited information to drive value-based decisions about the effectiveness of different services and organizations
- Provide developers with up to the minute information about a service in runtime to inform their decisions about which services to use
- Manage supply and demand to ensure maximum efficiency and benefit from SOA
The products share a common registry and metadata repository to ensure seamless integration and offer active governance. Closed-loop governance will:
- Ensure defined policies are enforced
- When you define a policy for a service you have to KNOW categorically that it is being enforced
- Generate audit trails for run-time and design-time policy compliance
- Measure the real-world value of SOA
- Not just theoretical value
- How many applications are using each service, and how much are they using it
- NOT how many applications have asked to use a certain capacity of each service
Manage, monitor and control relationships between consumers and providers
- Enforced contracts Capacity planning
Change management

Tesla alters financing following criticism
Last month Tesla said a new financing arrangement would make the Model S cost a mere $500 a month. Following critique in the press of Tesla's creative accounting, CEO Elon Musk announced revisions to the financing plan, now citing a net cost of $580 per month.
The two substantive changes to Tesla financing involve a revised resale value guarantee and longer term loans from partners Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank.

I definitely want to hear how these sound! They are gorgeous. But since the wood is unusual for one of the PRS acoustics, I gotta hear one.
So...time to record something!

Yours look so great I had to try it as soon as I saw it. I can see why you got a second one.
I have never desired an acoustic so badly. Freaking PRS takes my money again!

Rumor: D-backs talking Upton for Lee trade with Philly
With the Winter Meetings going on in Nashville, there seems to be a new rumor concerning Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder Justin Upton, whom Arizona has shopped in some capacity in each of the last three offseasons.
But ESPN's Pedro Gomez may have dropped the juiciest of rumors on Twitter:
Phillies and Diamondbacks are discussing Justin Upton for Cliff Lee. Money coming to AZ would also be involved.
— Pedro Gomez (@pedrogomezESPN) December 4, 2012
As word of that idea spread, though, many sources chimed in to refute it.
Ruben Amaro with a strong denial of the Lee-Upton report. "I don't comment on rumors but that one is Absolutely and unequivocally false."
— High Cheese (@HighCheese) December 4, 2012
Dbacks source tells me the Upton/Lee stuff "hasn't been discussed" and is "off base."
— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) December 4, 2012
Gibson on that Upton/Lee rumor: "I can tell you that's not going to happen."
— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) December 4, 2012
Lee, 34, is coming off of a frustrating season with Philadelphia in which he went 6-9 with a 3.16 ERA in 30 starts. The 2008 American League Cy Young Award winner didn't earn his first victory until July 31.
Lee is owed $87.5 million over the next three seasons, so presumably, a ton of money would need to come back to Diamondbacks in any deal with Philadelphia.
Upton, 25, had a down season in 2012 as well, hitting .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBI. The former first overall draft pick has three years and approximately $38.5 million left on his contract.

I gave it a dislike without listening, because you're a fuckbag. You can thank me for the view, but a dislike/like determines the likelihood of the video showing up in related videos. So 1 dislike on a video with barely any likes is doing much more damage than a single view. Cheers.
You seriously need to reevaluate how you plan on speaking to potential fans/listeners of your friend's music. If I was an artist I would be fucking ashamed to have someone who's as ignorant and rude as you are representing me. Your spamming and douchebaggery aside... I literally listened to around twenty seconds past the annoying fifteen second intro, paused your video, and swiftly disliked it immediately. Between the scenes of your "crew" standing outside of your mother's house next to your rental car and throwing one dollar bills on the street of your cul-de-sac, I was pretty unimpressed to say the least. I still have yet to address your stone age productions/engineering which I'll accurately butcher in a moment. First I'd like to start with your unoriginal cliched lyrical content, and believe me I'm using those words very loosely. In my opinion what you're speaking about during the short amount of time I listened to your trash is nearly everything that is wrong with modern day Hip Hop. You're seriously stating nothing more than how many bitches in designer wear that you claim to know followed by you pursuing your "grind". I'd like to personally invite you to get the fuck out of here with that whack shit. Even your stage name belongs in the stereotypical untalented failure category. Lil Soulja... Really guy?! Now to clue you in on one of my main issues with your song. The quality of recording leads me to believe you spit your verses into a Radio Shack microphone attached to a coat hanger draped with one of your sister's stockings to make up for a pop-filter. Considering the apparent lack of precise mastering/engineering, if any work was indeed done at all, I'd say you probably streamed your vocals as well as the instrumental through a very basic program such as Music Creator and called it good. If your team of goons has anything going for you at all it's solely the fact you had a live action music video produced, which you probably paid to have done. It doesn't help even in the slightest however, as your attempt at music sounds like verbal queefing not to mention you all seem to make yourselves look like complete jackasses on camera. /endrant
when you've written performed and produced ur own shit, put it up and then i'll take ur criticism on board, but until then keep the hate comments coming they only fuel the fire
So you post your friend's music for feedback, then claim you only care about the feedback from other people who make music? Makes 0 sense kid.

Hi All, I am interested in some feedback on Generation vs Product. I know Product charges for submissions and both charge for being on the website, but I would like to know if anyone has been with both and their experience and preference. We are with one now and considering a move to the other. | ||
Kevin Bacon |
I havent been at this very long but I have noticed that Product kids get alot of work I have thought about switching my DD to them but I did not know they charge for submissions!? | |||
Newbie |
Product charges for a model submission to Product on line. It makes it very easy to submit to be considered to become a Product model. Not submissions for jobs. No one would pay for submissions for jobs, I believe that would be illegal. | |||
Sean Penn |
Yes, Product fee is very nominal (I believe it is still $10) and one always has the option of submitting for free via snail mail. I know some people complain about the submission fee, but to me it is silly. You can still sumbit for free. CTMOM1, what are your thoughts about Ford closing, and what it means for being with different agencies? | |||
Nicholas Cage |
We were once with Product and now are with Generation. I am nothing but happy with Patti and her team. Generation does not charge for submitting pictures. IMO, no agency should charge. It is part of their job as agents. A few other things -- when we were with them, Product charged a "messenger fee" that was taken out of paychecks. I believe Ford does (did?) that but Generation does not. Also, Generation charges a one-time fee for the web site ($200) where as Product, I believe, charges yearly plus a fee to add/change pictures. Those numbers really add up, especially the web site fees. Patti and Gretchen are great, they keep my kids busy and they are always in touch. If they feel a picture just isn't working, they tell me and we work together to get a better picture that will get more work. I am very happy with the communication. I am sure some will disagree, but to each his own. I am very happy with Generation and if you are with them and thinking about switching, I urge you to think twice, if that is the direction you are going in. Best of luck! | |||
Newbie |
generation is great for kids that book. The same kids book over and over. Product and FFT send all their kids out there. BTW the biz is changing there are fewer modeling jobs every year and more and more kids,therefore you wait on lines up to 2 hours long on many go-sees. The writing is on the wall, Ford youth division is out because there is not enough money to be made in the youth market. Willy is closed to most kids. The small youth modeling companies have no jobs to send kids out on. It is a reality of the economy and changing times, this is the digital age. Good luck but just be aware it is not easy to book a modeling job with hundreds competing for few spots and be aware just because you are with an agency, you may rarely get sent out. | |||
Johnny Depp |
My 6 six year old twins have been with Generation for two years. Generation is an excellent agency for print modeling. My girls have had multiple auditions and can be seen in major advertising across the nation. We had a relative who even spotted my daughter in Singapore! At most major photoshoots, Generation children dominate the roster. I am very happy we selected Generation out of the multiple agencies who offered representation to them. I believe their success with print work is attributed to Generation. | |||
Russell Crowe |
If all you are interested in is print, either agency is good. Make a decision based on your personal connection to the agents and discuss how they will market your child. I think it is silly to say that the agency makes a decision to only market some kids. The same kids book a lot of jobs because they are good models. The agency wants to make money and will send the kids on go-sees that fit the breakdown.If your child is not getting go-sees, there is a reason. Maybe you have not updated pictures, maybe they are out of size, maybe your kid (or you) is a pain. That's just the way it is. The agency will work hard, but you have to do your part by always being prepared--good pictures, good grooming for your kid, being on time, etc. You can't blame the agency just because other kids are getting more work. They would not have signed your kid if they didn't think they were marketable. Most parents get sick of print after a year or two and seek on-camera opportunities(trust me, you will). In that area, Generation is superior.David Doan, the legit agent, was the casting director at Nickelodeon for years and has solid connections in the industry. He has experience negotiating contracts from both sides. | |||
Russell Crowe |
One more thing. it is distasteful that an agency would charge $10 just to look at your kids' picture. That's their job!!! I have a hard time believing that it takes more than a minute to view each child. $10 a minute? I want that job. | |||
Russell Crowe |
I suggest you apply to both ( if you are not with th already) And if you get called in , decide for yourself after the interview. Even though my kids are not with either one, i know few parents from both agencies: some are not happy, some are happy and some are extremely happy! It really depends are how much your kid books and gets sent out. Sometimes agents favor kids, or the know they will book and those get sent out more... Or that's how it seems, since I know several kids from the agencies , and certain kids get sent out more than others. However anytime my kids are working or have a casting most of the time we see Generation kids are on the sign up sheet. I know way more Generation kids than Product kids for sure!! However Product is just one step below of Gen kids at jobs and gosess. As long as you have a feeling that generation (patti) likes you and your child, you probably going to be very happy. you have to meet both and decide for yourself. | |||
Johnny Depp |
I was told that only certain Generation kids can get put on the website. Is that true? What about Product? | |||
Sean Penn |
I am not sure, but I believe that there is a fee for being on the website at Generation. | |||
Russell Crowe |
i believe there is $200 fee for Gen website,dont know fees for Product, but every single legit modeling agency has a fee to put kids on the website. its optional in all agencies, but recommended, since you can be viewed by clients by viewing the roster of kids for that particular agency, im sure everyone wants their kid to be there to be seen. however if you dont want to pay the fee agents would still submit your child's photos to the appropriate jobs/clients. | |||
Johnny Depp |
My 7 year old has been with Generation for about 15 months or so and has booked approx. once a month and we never paid for (and are not on) the website, nor have we ever been encouraged to pay for professional photos. So it is possible for kids to do this modeling thing without a lot of out-of-pocket. And Generation has been wonderful to work with, in our experience. | |||
Newbie |
Absolutely true that only certain kids make it on the generation website. A few thoughts are that there are about 150 kids on the generation website and there is no way to know how many kids think they are with generation but are not on the website. The generation website keeps photos of kids forever and I imagine they want to have kids that book on the site so that they can include photos from print jobs. Remember many of these kids are not active and some photos are 4 or 5 years old. Yes generation works hard and kids that book will be favored it's a business after all. Product is doing very well and perhaps is equal to generation. | |||

Title: Enchanted Unicorn Personalized Favor Boxes
Date: Mar 21, 2011
I ordered the favor boxes for my daughter's 5th birthday. They were very attractive. I love the colors. The boxes were just the right size. I received soo many compliments on the boxes, especially the picture. I used the standard shipping and received them before the guaranteed date. The only concerned I had was the sides would not stay together, but my intentions were to place a small piece of tape on the inside of the box to help secure it. Over all the personalized favor boxes are great. Need to create more themes availability for personalizing such as a princess theme for any age.
