I purchased this tractor in May 2012 and I now have over 20 hours usage on this tractor. This tractor replaced a 2001 42" Craftsman. First read the instructions and follow the set up procedures to the letter. Do this and you will have an excellent cutting platform. There are some cons to this tractor but they weren't deal breakers for me, IE: 1. Height adjustment is on the left hand side and gets hung up on clothing when exiting the tractor. 2. Reverse pedal should have been larger thus easier to use. 3. Gas gauge window almost impossible to read.
Pro's 24HP engine extremely smooth and powerful, will cut the steepest yards such as mine. 2. Deck is vibration free and excellent cutting ability, hose connecter for cleaning is an added bonus. 3. Turning radius is the tightest in the industry. 4. Transmission is smooth and also vibration free.
Prior to purchasing I read the reviews and almost decided against this tractor but because of my history with Craftsman products I decided to buy and can honestly say I have not regretted it. A lot of the bad reviews could be attributed to the buyer trying to use the product without going through the set up procedure. It's a great tractor for the money.
I purchased the equivalent model several years ago. I know that manufacturers change the mechanics from year to year, but this might be worth thinking about. The machine has been great on our almost 2 acre lot and we have been very happy with it. Last week the drive peddles stopped working properly. Upon inspection I found that there is supposed to be a small spring that sits next to the transaxle, and it was missing. I assumed it would be a simple and inexpensive fix. When I called the parts department they informed me that that part is not available for sale on its own. It comes as part of the transaxle assembly (the entire rear drive system). The cost of the parts alone is $775.... it seems to be a very expensive spring...

Excellent Mower. Tight turn feature is outstanding. Easy to Level the deck and to change blades. The large gas tank is a plus. Have used this mower for over 20 hours and do not have a single complaint.

I own 3 craftsman tractors 2 yard 1 garden I bought this 1 nov. 2012 ths junk with the way mower deck is built I will never buy another craftsman

Bought this product because Craftsman has (I thought) always been a brand that stood for quality. I've had this product for FIVE months, and have just scheduled my 3rd repair, 2 of which was for problems related to the mower deck. I would like to think the problems I've experienced are isolated, but could not in good conscience recommend this product. My overall experience with this product and Sears' "snail pace" at repairing it is unsatisfactory to say the least.

People complaining about scalping, you need to lower the gauge wheels to the lowest position if you are mowing northern grasses. It won't scalp if you do that. Out of the box it will net get a full 4 inch cut because they put a fixed height linkage rod on the right side, you can order a second adjustable link, same as the one on the left, and have it installed in less than 2 minutes and then you can get the full range. I cut normally at 4 which gives a 3 inch cut and when it's hot I cut at 5 which gives a 3.5 inch cut. I of course adjusted the deck myself. Why they did not put two adjustable height linkage brackets in at the factor is a mystery. After tweaking the deck balance using a balancing tool that measures the distance between the blade and ground I get a beautiful cut that is good as my neighbors simplicity minus the roller lines, which I think look gaudy anyway. Bottom line is this is a good yard tractor as long as you use for that purpose.

I replaced a 42" Craftsman tractor in Jan 13 with this, sight unseen due to illness. Wish I had gone to the store as hopefully I would have noticed at least one or two of the following issues and bought something else. There are some features it has my old tractor didn't such as adjustable seat, cup holder, and better turn radius that are great, but in general it feels in almost every way much cheaper. Motor sounds weird, and all the levers and switches feel like they will break each time you engage them. Determining the fuel level to not over-fill is difficult for one person, as you must fill and monitor the tank level underneath the mower. In some lighting situations it is difficult to see the gas level through the plastic tank. My other Sears tractor has a gauge that is easy to read and accurate. As I use the tractor I am getting use to this quirk and adjusting to having to add gas slowly and lean over and look at the tank level, but I like the old method more (but it was more expensive to make). The thing I dislike the most is this tractor has a "gas pedal" and cruise control, where my old one had a lever to operate speed and fwd/rev with the right hand. I like the old hand control much better, plus the cruise control is hard to get just the right speed and to stop it with the brake feels like you are going to break something in the brake pedal. Also this is very hard for me to reverse as it is difficult for me to put enough pressure on the reverse pedal. My husband and stronger friend agree with all this. However, the additional 4 inches of blade really helps me cut down on my mowing time by almost an hour so I hope I can treat it good and make it last.

Bought the mower with 3 bin bagger 2 months ago. The good news- it mows great and has cut my mowing time in half! The bad news- the max mowing height is 3 1/2 inches NOT the advertised 4 inches. I like to mow my fescue high and if it gets away from me I have no margin. The other issue is blade set up. It took a call to support and an hour of adjustments but the yard looks smooth.

this is a replacemen for my okd tractor. I like the power it has I have 2 1/2 acers to take care of. I will know how it works more next year. so far the only thing bad about it is that the reverse is not that great. my old tractor was lot better. I need to cut the grass a couple more times to see why this is a problem

almost 4 seasons ago i bought the crafstman 46in ytd 2000 lawn tractor with 21 hp brigs and straton engine i have had nothing but problems with there so called newley redesigned 2 bladded deck i .Thank god i bought the 3 yr extended warenty on it because i have probably spent what i paid for it in repairs on the deck and now parts of the tractor are starting to break. I warn you DO NOT buy craftsman they are junk and i am still having problems with it i am planing on selling it and i will never buy craftsman again and i will never walk into a sears store again. Biggest Piece of JUNK DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Bought the mower (it's not a tractor) and took gas to sears so I could drive it on the trailer. As expected Sears has no gas so I gased it up. Battery died before starting and Sears offered to push it onto my trailer which I refused. After getting the battery charger it started and I loaded it Took it home and tried mowing and it scapls badly. Looked at the deck and 1 side was hangin 1" lower than the other so I figured out how to adjust that. The blades are different from other sears mowers bottom line even at the highest setting the grass is lower than a 4 on my other Craftsmans Next day went to start the mwer and the battery is dead. Had to put it on the charger and it won't get above 4 amp draw meaning probably 2 dead cells. Got it started and went to mow after adjusting guage wheels and the mower deck makes far more noise than my 10 year od mower. Also the frame twists unbelievably probably due to the wider fromt axle and likely thinner frame. I measured the frame on m7 10 year old machine and its the same. I'm taking this piece of junk back for a refund! There's no way this mower will still be running 10 years from now.

Purchased this mower on 3 Jul and used it the following day. Good power & cuts fairly well so far. The overall machine does not feel well built for the money spent, but time will tell on this one. If you purchase a Service Protection plan, make sure you read what each one covers (3yr will only cover up to 1500.00 of replacement & 5yr will cover everything). Sears & Craftsman use to stand for quality on any of its products. Oh how times have changed.

Album Rating: 3.6 | Sound OffIdk if a staff had dibbed this I haven't check Olympus in a minute
Album Rating: 3.2I still don't know how I feel about this album. I'm not really a NIN fan, more of a Pretty Hate Machine fan, but this album has me coming back at least. Digging: Sara Bareilles - The Blessed Unrest
Digging: Sara Bareilles - The Blessed Unrest
Album Rating: 3.6 | Sound OffIt's a lot of fun imo. It doesn't take itself too seriously which is something that I have always complained about NIN for. It's always interesting and weird and completely NIN without all the terrible baggage from the last decade
Album Rating: 3.2Totally agree.
Hahaha, fucking love that summary man. Nice to see you contributing around these parts again, I've missed your writing!Digging: City Of Ifa - Self Titled
Digging: City Of Ifa - Self Titled
Really, I haven't been able to really grip the whole NIN madness. Then again, I haven't heard much by them in the first place. Great job with the review, btw.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTj4mMp5dk8 listen to more by them then bro
By the way, Eli, this is one of the best reviews I've seen from you. Nice work.
Album Rating: 3.7This one really recalls the latest album from The Knife at points. I can imagine Trent is their huge fan. I can't really agree with the notion that this LP adheres to the band's previous style so much. They're clearly some new elements (to NIN) on display here. This has a much more electro-industrial feel to it.Digging: Netherlands - Silicon Vapor
Digging: Netherlands - Silicon Vapor
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffHey man, song's name is "Everything", not "Everyday". Other than that, great review.
Album Rating: 4.0this is still a solid 4 for me. the oneohtrix point never remix of find my way is so good. deluxe edition is worth it just for that song imoDigging: Radiohead - In Rainbows

jesus christ, that summary is incredible. the rest is good, but that's just perfect
Album Rating: 4.0everything actually really ain't that bad
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off"Everyday" lol
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffMeh. Nice writeup however, and though I'd be lying if I said all this hasn't already been said in comments/other reviews it's nice to have an official Sput review. Digging: Marilyn Manson - Born Villain
Digging: Marilyn Manson - Born Villain
The album seems to cover its bases really well. It's catchy and dreamy but aggressive and angry. I've listened it to it about 7 times through now. I was really hoping that I'd eventually start to like "everything" but my fingers can't help to reach for the skip button. I think this mostly comes from my deep seeded hate for punk music. So maybe it's a biased opinion and at some level it is a good song but I think the album would benefit from its absence. This album doesn't quite flow as well as downward spiral or the fragile ( at least the first disc) but god damn there are some good songs. Definitely worth a buy in my opinion. I think any true NIN can enjoy this album. 4/5 if I had to score it. And p.s this review says the slip is year zero and with teeth done right. That is probably one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard. The slip felt rushed, poppy, and not well thought out. But that's a different review
Album Rating: 3.6 | Sound Off"And p.s this review says the slip is year zero and with teeth done right. That is probably one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard. " Um, I didn't say this?

Overview of the CeroWrt Project¶
Bufferbloat is a huge drag on Internet performance created, ironically, by previous attempts to make it work better. The one-sentence summary of the problem is "Bloated buffers lead to network-crippling latency spikes." You can read more about this problem at the top-level Buffer Bloat site, http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Introduction. [Thanks to Eric Raymond for this description]
CeroWrt is a project built upon the OpenWrt firmware to resolve these endemic problems in home networking today, and to push the state of the art of edge networks and routers forward. Projects include proper IPv6 support, tighter integration with DNSSEC, and most importantly, reducing bufferbloat in both the wired and wireless components of the stack.
To minimize the effects of hardware dependencies, we have chosen the Netgear WNDR3700v2 and WNDR3800 as the sole hardware for the experiments. The open source support for it is extensive, it has a capable processor with 16MB of flash and 64MB of RAM, it supports a USB flash stick, they are inexpensive (around $120). It has more RAM (128MB instead of 64), but either of these models will be fine for these experiments.
At this time, we have created a minimal, functioning build as a platform for experimentation. In parallel, several other developments have occurred:
- Many of these algorithms are being worked on in the Linux 3.3 kernel.
- OpenWrt has recently issued a number of updates for their recent Backfire 10.03.1 release.
- We have been submitting patches back to OpenWrt for inclusion in their mainline source tree.
We are working to stay abreast of all these efforts.
Dave Täht has been experimenting with a number of algorithms to reduce the amount of unnecessary (and harmful) buffering within the router. His notebook on github (below) lists his recent experiments. These test processes provide objective evidence of the improvements (or lack of improvements) of the various algorithms and implementations.
Sources of Information about the project:¶
General list for discussing Bufferbloat: https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat

CeroWrt-Commits mailing list: https://lists.bufferbloat.net/pipermail/cerowrt-commits/
Lab Notebook in Github: https://github.com/dtaht/deBloat
Try the Software:¶
The current software is being used for experimentation on the algorithms. A few brave souls are also using it as a second router in their homes. At this stage, we do not recommend it as your production router.
The current builds are stable, and the bql-smoketest builds provide some improvement to the buffer bloat problem, and provides a good platform for testing various algorithms. The rc6 build is older, but in wider use. We have not received any reports of crashes from rc6 so feel free to try in less experimental situations.
The instructions (below) for the OCEAN CITY release are correct for the current builds.
CeroWrt Releases¶
Early 2012 release¶
The current builds are stable, and the bql-smoketest builds provide some improvement to the buffer bloat problem. The rc6 build is an older, more stable release.
bql-smoketests: http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/bql-smoketests/bql-15/
rc6 Builds: http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/cerowrt-wndr3700-1.0rc6/
About the OCEAN CITY release. In the latter half of 2011, we had hoped to release a build with grand goals. This release was to be named OCEAN CITY. But reality set in, and it became obvious that we could not meet these goals. Any remaining references to an Ocean City are being changed to align with the more important, but also more limited goals set out above.

Imagine kicking back on a private island in the Bahamas where the staff caters to your every whim.
Yes, it's a pipe dream for 99 percent of us, but let's imagine. Put that bank balance out of your mind. Now conjure up a snorkel and flippers.
To find some of the most out-of-this-world destinations for jet-setters in 2013, CNN.com asked Robb Report editorial director Bruce Wallin for ideas.
So keep this list handy in case of a fat financial windfall:
Singita Grumeti Reserves, Tanzania
Located on a private 350,000-acre game reserve, the Singita Grumeti Reserves has only four small lodges on the property.
The four-bedroom Serengeti House, which is listed on its blog, quietly opened to guests in December and includes its own chef, guides, tennis court and pool.
"The lodges themselves are as nice as Four Seasons New York, if not nicer," says Wallin. "The wildlife is great, and the service and food is incredible. It's one of the nicest places in the world to stay."
Serengeti House rates start at $8,500 a night for up to four guests during high season (parts of December and January and all of June, July and August), with additional charges for five to eight guests. Pay $84,500 to rent the house for a week for up to eight guests.
Song Saa Private Island, Cambodia
The dream of an Australian couple living in Cambodia, the exclusive Song Saa Private Island resort opened in March. With just 27 villas on two small islands in the Koh Rong archipelago, the resort offers diving, snorkeling, nature trails, kayaking, fishing and boat trips to surrounding islands.
Song Saa also has a relationship with the Amansara resort in Siem Reap, allowing travelers to stay there while visiting Angkor Wat's ancient temples.
High-season villa prices starts at $1,595 a night for the one-bedroom Jungle Villa. Rates include food, beverages including beer and house wines and spirits, guided tours and the use of kayaks, boats and snorkeling gear.
Four Seasons Around the World
Imagine jetting around the world via private 757 airplane, visiting some of the world's most extraordinary sites with travel experts and staying at Four Seasons hotels at your destinations. Customs is a breeze for such world travelers.

•Strap: Printed Tan Cowhide Leather and Smooth Dark Brown Reverse
•Buckle: Brass with Brushed Ruthenium Plate
•Width: 30 mm
•Cut to fit: This belt has been designed to be cut to the exact length.
This means you have a belt that has been specially and uniquely fitted to you, rather than having to buy a belt that is only approximately the right length.
The belt strap is simple to cut with a sharp pair of scissors and can be done either as a free service on one of our dunhill stores or at home.
To ensure that you cut it to the right length, you can either measure yourself around the waist, or measure the belt that you normally wear from the end of the strap by the buckle to the hole normally use.
Remove the buckle, releasing the mechanism on the back of the buckle and measure the same length on the strap of the new belt – make sure you do this from the centre hole, or the one you prefer to use, to the end where the buckle fits.
Always cut the belt a little longer than you measured – this will allow you to make further adjustments when you try it on for size
This is a bold and tactile design with rivet detailing and functional rollers that have been inspired by our Rollagas lighters.
The choice of tan or brown sides to the leather strap and the large square frame buckle gives this belt a strong casual appeal.
The belt is reversible by opening the hinge at the back of the belt, removing the leather strap and turning it, you can then show eitherthe printed tan or the smooth brown side.
Free delivery service. We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours, the estimated DHL delivery time is 2-3 working days after dispatch.
However, if you live in a remote area of your country, deliveries may take 1 or 2 days longer.
Free returns. Read about our returns policy here.

Alright, first off I'm starting to turn my game around and having positive KDR most games and able to hold my own with a small pool of 3-4 heroes that I've been practicing hard on. Winning games again and bringing my PSR from the 1200s back up to 1400s.
However something I've noticed in public games is that its incredibly difficult to get a team working together. The game starts well, I dominate my lanes and once people start roaming I help out other lanes to get ganks or push the first towers.
And heres a common scenario for me thats my problem: Our team has the most kills, we can beat them in straight up 5v5 and the first line of towers are down. I want to close the game up early and keep the pressure on but at this point most games I've been in people sit back and keep farming. Letting both sides farm with me left frustrated that people start getting picked off one by one slowly losing our advantage. Some games we get our act together again and push to the barracks and others the enemy team turns the game around and starts winning.
What can I do to get my team working together instead of 5 heroes doing their own thing which is what I imagine I was doing for most of my game when I first started.
Last edited by chMortal; 05-21-2010 at 06:19 AM.
basically what has been stated allready. if your team is desperate to farm try and get them to go farming in the enemy creeps. that way you can all steal their neuts and get some ganks going at the same time. it sometimes works in convincing idiots to do what i want.
bonus tip: check your team's items and gold. point out who can and should afford wards. yell at magmus for building runed axe. point out to Hag that nullstone would make her unkillable against hero X, etc.
If your hero relies on items at all, make sure you have an efficient build, at that level team composition and item builds tend to outweigh most other things. Just try not to give up a genocide when you attempt Kongor, etc.
Last edited by light_rain; 05-21-2010 at 01:04 PM.
Also if you're confident that you know how your team should play the game, you should try to take the "lead" from the start. Starting with telling / asking supporters to get monkeys and wards, suggesting lane setups etc. In the later game organize ganks and pushes. If you do those things well the average player will start listening to you about what to do.
Patience is the key with this, usally low rated players will try to blame it on you if something goes wrong if it was your suggestion, but just keep on going and dont get into the flame wars.
I made a great post I think about this bracket style of play, you can always go check it. But I will try to help you in here too.
Your question is : How cna I help my team to win more?
My solution : Since you seem to play more support and roamers, buy a shitload of wards everytime you can. Ward the entire other forest, even if you end up dying 1 time when you go place them. In this bracket, if people can see someone, they will most likely ping at them and run toward them all 4 of them. Be intelligent and follow them with some distance to ensure your team a backup in case of counter ganks. Supprot them the ebst you can by warding and give them vision wehen you can, that will ensure your team a powerful gank potential. Take the time to stack creeps for your team, that will shorten up the farm time because they will have more gold in a short amount of time. Also, pick a lane for yourself and ask your team to keep it for you. Put wards to avoid ganks and try to always show yourself on the map to your opponents. In that case, your team will have a free farm time and they will be able to push towers while people are trying to gank you. When you see them, just back up as fast as you can and always have a homecomijg stone to avoid death. For using it, you always can go into sideline woods and teleport to another lane to continue your good farm.
For further explanation, PM me in-game or forum section
And sorry for all the mistakes, I am at work and I am trying to help a lot of people in a short amount of time so I just can't keep up with the corrections
EDIT: Keep up the work with your CKs, you are doing a great job already with it for a 1500 player.
EDIT 2 : Try to have higher APM too. APMs are important if you want to have a better overall. Higher APM meens less ganks because you will be on your guard at all time. If that is succesfull, your team will have again a free time when people want to gank you Try to have about 100 APM if you want to stay alive longer. Some people will argue that it is useless but mainly, you will find out that they are at 0.6-1.0 KD:r with carry only heroes. In my opinion, 100-200 APM will help you alot. NMine is actually at 152 and I am always finding myself able to avoid some ganks succesfully (not all, I mean, it is impossible to avoid everything)

Whilst I am still keen on a rear hubmotor (for the sheer simpilicty) I still watch this forum with much interest! I'm wondering if anyone has considered using the existing rear freewheel and cogs with an RC or "normal" style motor? I'm no engineer, but this seems like a really simple solution, I understand that there may need to be an additional gearing down but couldn't that also be part of the engine mount/block?
I'm not too good with drawing so I'll try and explain:
- Motor mounted under/behind the seat
- A guide is put in place to stop the de-railer from accessing the largest diameter cog on the rear wheel
- A chain is then run from the smallest possible toothed cog on the motor down to the largest diameter cog on the rear wheel
Any thoughts on this? It uses the existing freewheel of the rear wheel, so unless the cyclist pedalled backwards the motor wouldn't spin at all?

Expense Fraud – What to Do When Someone Claims to Work for the CIA
Daniel W. Draz, M.S.,CFE
Fraud Solutions
Captivated with the story this week about the former EPA employee (John Beale) who the government investigation claims masqueraded as a CIA employee, lied to his employer (the EPA) and fraudulently received money from the agency that he was not entitled to for nearly 20 years? Says Draz: "If you think that story is about his working for the CIA, it really isn't. The real story here lies in the employment related failures of the EPA (his employer) and how those business and employment related failures translate directly to *all* businesses whether government agencies or not. There is a definite 'lessons learned' opportunity here. Employees make representations all the time, some are true and some are not. It's what you do about them (or in this case, didn't do) that matters. And when employers don't take the steps necessary to investigate 'red flags' they lose money -- in this case those failures cost the government (and now taxpayers) almost $1,000,000.00."

Chinese Travel Agencies Called 'ATMs'
Tom Fox
FCPA and Compliance Ethics Lawyer and Blogger
Tom Fox Law in Houston
"The Chinese government made an unusual move by cracking down on alleged bribery by sales executives working for pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), creating bright-line lessons for other companies with a presence there. Any company doing a lot of business, like GSK did, through Chinese travel agencies – where corruption runs so rampant they've been dubbed 'ATMs' – needs to get down in the expenditure weeds. In China, people are collecting and selling phony receipts, too. It's one of several foreign countries where corruption is rampant and foreign companies may start being blamed. Chinese officials are looking to the briber now, and the warning shot has been fired." Tom Fox is the author of the e-book, "GSK in China: A Game Changer in Compliance."

Don't Expect a Noncompete Ban in Texas
Joe Ahmad
Executive Employment Lawyer
Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing P.C. in Houston
"Covenants not to compete are verboten in California, and the governor of Massachusetts is also hoping to ban them as a way to spur innovation and economic growth in his state. But don't expect that to happen in Texas. Even though Texas has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, protecting corporate trade secrets isn't the only reason employers require noncompetes. Employers often provide specialized training, and if those specially trained employees could leave and instantly be hired at a competitor, then that would be a disincentive for employers to provide such training. In order to be enforceable, noncompetes need to be reasonable, but the courts typically do a good job of striking down the unreasonable ones. Texas law requires noncompetes to be drafted in a way that protects employers and employees, which is preferable to banning them."

New Income Caps Provide Extra Child Support
Brad LaMorgese
Family Law Attorney
McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing, L.L.P. in Dallas
"Some divorced parents may begin receiving slightly larger child support payments under a revision to the Texas Family Code that went into effect Sept. 1. The Texas Legislature raised the monthly income cap, the amount from which child support payments are calculated, from $7,500 to $8,550. The parent paying child support typically pays 20 percent of his or her monthly net income (up to $8,550) for one child, with 5 percent added for each additional child, up to 40 percent for five or more children. Adjustments can be made if the non-custodial parent has children from other marriages or relationships. This could mean an extra $210 a month for one child, which is a lot to parents struggling to make ends meet. Of course, there are possible exceptions to the child support guidelines, so be sure to talk to your attorney if your needs exceed those envisioned by the Family Code."

Tell us about this design.Katamari Damacy is one of my favorite games of all time. One of the most distinctive things about it is the awesome soundtrack, so I had the idea of rolling up music instead of objects.Where are you from?I live in the midwest, which is mostly awesome. Except in the winter, because shoveling the driveway is pretty much the worst thing ever.How did you get started designing t-shirts?I graduated design school with a good sense of how to lay out a page, but absolutely no illustration skills. I tried a lot of things to try and gain some skill in that area (including making a fairly awful 24 hour comic) but once I discovered how quickly you could get feedback through t-shirt design contests (even though the feedback was often just saying how terrible my drawings admittedly were), I was hooked.What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?Experiment. If you just follow along and do what other people are doing, at best you'll be in second place. Trying new stuff and pushing the boundaries of what you think you are capable of is where the most growth lies.
What would be your dream job?I feel like I have my dream job, corny as that sounds! I get to think about t-shirts and design every day, and I have plenty of time to create. It's amazing!What are your feelings about history?History is a great source of inspiration. I love watching documentaries about the important figures from past eras and wondering how they'd react to the world of today. I for one would love to see what Ben Franklin would do with the internet!Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.I'm pretty fond of This is the Happy House by C86 at Owl Movement. I love how unusual it feels, like a blueprint from an alien culture. Plus the colors are great!What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?I was strictly a cartoon-watching kid- Thundercats was my favorite. I also watched stuff like Jem & the Holograms, Mysterious Cities of Gold, and of course GI Joe. I remember spending a lot of great summer afternoons playing games patterned after those characters.Any shout outs? Check out TeeMagnet.com if you need a quick way to keep track of new shirt releases, and Compete-tee-tion.com is full of reviews of shirt contest winners (plus new contest opportunities for artists).

November 21, 2012
by Hank Cardello
It ultimately doesn't matter that the mediationbetween Hostess and its bakery union failed yesterday. Any settlement would have been only a temporary step back from the cliff. The real problem: Hostess' management never figured out how to transition its product portfolio amid a sea change in consumer tastes, to have the kind of product-line evolution that companies such as Coca-Cola, General Mills, and Danone all mastered.
So any wage concessions would have just postponed the judgment day, Hostess blamed its bakers for its problems, and many commentators have been quick to cite other reasons such as unsustainable operating costs, private-equity backers that loaded Hostess with too much debt, and increasingly health-conscious consumers who no longer want Twinkies, Ho Hos, and Donettes. All true enough. But like a prominent hostess whose drunken family members ruin her fundraiser, Hostess could have found a way to save its reputation and keep the party going.
Its failure was not preordained. The company should have sensed emerging changes in consumer eating habits many years ago and begun reinventing its product line with new offerings that appealed to health-conscious consumers. Such a portfolio transition wouldn't have required the company to stop making the impossibly yellow, cream-filled Twinkies that made it famous and still have plenty of fans.
In fact, many of the world's biggest food and beverage companies that, like Hostess, sold a nutritional rogue's gallery of products, have thrived by adding health-conscious ones while still keeping around their less-healthy classics (which still have a fan base). Consider that the Coca-Cola Company is now securely on top of the soft drink industry, in large part thanks to the growth of Diet Coke, which accounted fornearly 10% of the $76 billion in soft drinks sold in the U.S. in 2011 and is the No. 2 soft drink, ahead of even regular Pepsi.
As a marketing director at CocaCola, I was involved in the Diet Coke launch in 1983, when the company was savvy enough to bet that consumers would buy a no-calorie soda that tasted better than Tab. In the nearly 30 years since then, Coca-Cola has added CocaCola Zero, vitamin water, and bottled water to its portfolio.
Today Coca-Cola continues to deliver the highest operating profits in the industry, 22%. General Mills began a similar highly profitable transition in its product portfolio in 2005. That year it committed to substantially improving the nutritional profile of two-thirds of its products by 2012, a goal it met by adding more whole grains and other better-for-you products. Those moves boosted sales 21% and profits 57% between 2007 and 2012.
When I worked at General Mills, in the late 1970s, the company added the Yoplait brand to its portfolio, a move that seemed odd at the time, given the then-tiny market for yogurt. But Yoplait today is a $1.5 billion brand in the U.S., and General Mills is pumping new life into it by introducing a 100-calorie Greek yogurt product. A decade ago Danone made the strategic decision to jettison its less healthy product businesses like beer, candy, cookies, and biscuits and concentrate on better-for-you products such as yogurt, bottled water, and infant nutrition. Between 2007 and 2011, Danone's sales outpaced its peers' by 3 to 1, and its operating profit grew 61.4%.
If Hostess' management had tweaked its portfolio in all those years and comeup with healthier versions or new offerings, the company not only could have survived, it could have thrived. Coca-Cola, General Mills, and Danone provethat. Why didn't Hostess seize the opportunity? The company is privately held, so its business strategies are hard to divine. But baking businesses tend to be run by hidebound managers who concentrate on operations and distribution rather than on marketing and new products. Also, Hostess' management may have been blinded by consumers' fierce loyalty to their core brands.
Sure, plenty of people who love Hostess products, but there needed to be new ones to reach emerging market segments that wanted to cut calories and fat. Hostess did begin selling 100-calorie Twinkie Bites some time ago, but that was not nearly enough. Hostess should have taken a page from Nabisco, which in 1988 (as RJR Nabisco) faced its barbarians at the gate and was taken over by the leveraged buyout firm KKR, for a record $25 billion.
Like Hostess, RJR Nabisco was saddled with crushing debt. But since then Nabisco has grown its top line by smartly extending its iconic brands such as Fig Newtons and Oreos, adding choices that packed less of a calorie wallop. It now makes 46 variations of Oreo products, including a low-fat cookie. Between May 2010 and May 2011, Kraft, which owns Nabisco, sold more than $1.5 billion in cookies, the most in brands. Hostess' management should have reshaped the company into one that sold not only Twinkies and Ding-Dongs but also the healthier snacks people want now. Hostess' core market includes many who don't care about calories—the Natural Marketing Institute calls them the eat, drink and be merries—but the company ignored the one third of consumers who are jumping on the healthier food bandwagon.
They are where the growth lies. The market for indulgent food is declining, and demand for healthier alternatives is growing. Hostess's management ignored this fact, and that is why 18,500 people are losing their jobs. It was as avoidable as filling your whole cart in the snack food aisle.

What Participants Have Said About SMX Advanced
Here's what attendees of previous SMX Advanced said:
SMX Advanced is consistently one of the highest caliber marketing conferences. I never fail to leave with more actionable take-aways than time to implement. Worth its weight in gold!
- Kristy Bolsinger, Ant's Eye View
I love attending SMX Advanced. The speakers and sessions always leave me with great ideas and invaluable takeaways to bring home. On top of that, the networking opportunities are priceless. Everyone is super approachable, and you never know when just saying "hi" to someone balloon into an amazing Search Marketing conversation. More often then not at Advanced, it does!
- Kiko Correa, Mindbody, Inc.
SMX Advanced is the most informative and accessible search marketing event I've attendedever. Danny and team put on an awesome event at a great venue that the SEO community has come to rely on every year. Everything from the speakers to the networking opportunities (even the food!) is top notch.
- Andrew Lipstein, Thomson Reuters
SMX Advanced is what conferences should be. My goal for conferences is to leave every session with at least two "must do" actions, and SMX Advanced doesn't disappoint. Sessions were both informative and actionable. And the bright, like-minded people you'll meet at SMX Advanced take the experience from just a conference to an amazing networking event. There's nearly as much to learn in the evenings as there is during the sessions.
- Rachael Gerson, SEER Interactive

Your home is your wellness shrine
Wellness is very much in vogue: Drink lots – preferably water or tea without sugar – and don't miss any meals, enjoy every little bit of love and care that's lavished on you, and make sure you pamper yourself with some soothing body care treatment. Having a child is actually great fun!
It's a good idea to go for walks now because even though they are slightly more strenuous than before the pregnancy, they provide mother and child with the oxygen they need and keep them fit.
To receive more information on you and your new baby, please join our MAM club. No cost to join and you will receive a monthly newsletter and special offers.
