IN TWEET: THE FULL PROMO REEL FOR THE NEW SERIES “MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.” COMING TO ABC THIS FALL. In advance of tomorrow’s full CLIPPED/SE dedicated to the new Fall series on ABC, here’s the extended trailer for what is already the most anticipated series of the 2013/14 season: MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s got all of the signature Joss Whedon touches and big-screen quality production values. Funny, action-packed and Couslon-centric . Right now, it looks like must see stuff. Enjoy!

IN TWEET: IT’S ANOTHER SPECIAL UPFRONTS EDITION OF “CLIPPED” FEATURING EXTENDED TRAILERS FOR NEW SERIES COMING THIS FALL. UP TODAY IS FOX. This is one of the shakiest slates I’ve seen from FOX in awhile. There’s one buzzy re-imagining here that might generate some numbers (hint: it’s pictured above) and a surprisingly funny rip-off of…er…I mean, homage to STRIPES but the rest of the lot runs the gamut from utterly conventional to outright wretched . Again, because networks will continue to tweak and refine their new offerings, I am not going to include much specific schedule information. Like the NBC post yesterday , this list includes only new Fall series. We’ll cover the FOX midseason newbies at a later date. ALMOST HUMAN ALMOST HUMAN looks like castoff bits of ROBOCOP, DOLLHOUSE and “insert name of mismatched partners cop show here” were thrown into a blender and then reconstituted by the JJ Abrams TV assembly line. It’s clear that Abrams’ attentions are more on the big scre...

BY PETE HOGAN – EXCLUSIVE TO RONTHINK Going through my catalog of 60 or so games, I started thinking about which titles I would never trade or sell. Here’s the list! The games that made the cut are those that I have the most fun playing and find myself constantly returning to. If you haven’t yet experienced these games, they are definitely worth your time. If you are new to console gaming, these titles should be among the first you add to your library. Either way, they are all back catalog options which means you can get them at a great price. Give them a shot and let me know what you think! NOTE: CLICK ON ANY IMAGE BELOW TO ORDER FROM AMAZON. Yes, it got a ton of bad press, so curse me all you want for having THE FORCE UNLEASHED on my list. No matter! Being a STAR WARS fan, I find myself popping this game back in my Xbox whenever I want my SW gaming fix! The story takes place between REVENGE OF THE SITH and A NEW HOPE. The action revolves around Starkiller, Darth Vaders’ ...

IN TWEET: IRVING DER SHARES PRACTICAL INSPIRATION FROM HIS OWN FITNESS JOURNEY. IN HIS WORDS: “GETTING OFF MY ASS – ONE FAT MAN’S STORY.” PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN’T DO IT! EDITOR’S NOTE: I COERCED IRVING INTO SHARING HIS STORY BECAUSE I WANTED TO END SPRING CLEANING WEEK ON AN INSPIRING NOTE AND REMIND YOU THAT WELLNESS DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. NO MATTER YOUR AGE, GENDER OR BODY TYPE, THERE IS A DOABLE FITNESS AND NUTRITION PROGRAM OUT THERE FOR YOU. I HOPE THIS WEEK OF SPECIAL POSTS HAS, AT A MINIMUM, GIVEN YOU A PLACE TO START. AS ALWAYS, CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY DIET OR EXERCISE PROGRAM. Why get up? Why try? Isn't it much easier to sit on the couch and eat pizza and drink a 32oz Big Gulp of soda? Well, it is hard. It is downright PAINFUL to actually get up and be active. I won’t get into any nutrition or diet information as I am not qualified (plus I cheat weekly and am not the best “nutritious eater” out there). With that said, I try to workout...

IN TWEET: UPCYCLE YOUR WAY TO ECO-FRIENDLY INTERIOR DESIGN WITH RHONDA KONOWALOW ANGELL, EDITOR OF THE DESIGNOLOGY LA BLOG AND OWNER OF RK TEXTURE INTERIOR DESIGN. A couple of years ago, I attended an Earth Day lecture on, what else, green design. While I’ve always been a major recycler and energy conservationist, I hadn’t really focused on using green products in my work as an interior designer. This lecture changed the course of my career. I became so fascinated by what I’d learned, that I’ve continued doing my own research on the subject so I can bring more eco-friendly options to my clients. Green, or eco-friendly design, is not only necessary to conserve our dwindling resources and lessen the impact on overstuffed landfills, but it can also add great character to our living spaces and work environments. Today, I am pleased to share some of my favorite ideas with you! RECYCLE VS. UPCYCLE: Is there a difference? Yes! Recycling is altering or adapting items that would otherw...
