When it comes to the football, there never seems to be a true offseason. Every event that happens in the NFL makes headlines, including last week's regular season schedule release. The schedule was officially announced last Wednesday at 8 p.m., and immediately following the release, there was an influx of customers visiting TicketNetwork.com looking for tickets to the upcoming season.
Within 24 hours of the announcement, tickets to home games for all 32 teams were sold through our marketplace. So far, the top-selling team has been the Dallas Cowboys, who have accounted for nearly 10% of all the football tickets sold this past week. Dallas has a tough schedule of home games this season, including their opening week game against San Francisco.
While Dallas had the highest volume of tickets sold, it was the Denver Broncos which had the highest average selling price (see table below). Fresh off losing in the big game, Denver is among the favorites to win the championship this season. Their home schedule includes games against Indianapolis, San Francisco, as well as divisional rivalry games against San Diego and Kansas City.
Although the season is still months away, the NFL will continue to be in headlines nearly every week (the draft is only about a week away) and before you know it, the season will be ready to kick-off.

Well, it happened. Ample ticket sales at TN.com allowed the Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus to once again claim the top spot on this list. When combined with the last three-month period from July to September, and last March, that gives Ringling a full half year at the top.
As I've mentioned in previous months, it isn't that the other events have done poorly. They've done very well, and in particular the Kiss & Def Leppard and the Eminem & Rihanna tours were neck and neck for the second position. It's just that so many more Ringling Bros. tickets were sold during March.
It is possible things will change in April. Last year, Paul McCartney displaced Ringling Bros. during April, and wouldn't you know, he's plotting more dates this year. Maybe we'll see him claim the top spot again?
March's Top 10 Events*

As the UConn Huskies, Florida Gators, Kentucky Wildcats, and Wisconsin Badgers prepare to play in the NCAA Tournament semi-finals tomorrow, the get-in price (the lowest price you can expect to find for a ticket) for tickets listed at TicketNetwork.com of both the semi-finals and the championship have dipped below $100*. At the time of this writing, the get-in price for the semi-final is a bit higher than for the championship by about $20. The get-in price for passes that include both sessions is $104. So anyone still looking for a ticket to the game has an opportunity to get a seat for a pretty good price.

Reinforcing the trend I noticed last week, college basketball fans from Connecticut and Kentucky were the most enthusiastic about finding tickets for the NCAA Finals following their teams' advancement to Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, TX, this weekend.
The two states were among the ones that sent a very high amount of visits to TicketNetwork.com in the two hours following the Huskies' and Wildcat's wins in the East and Midwest Regional Finals on Sunday. In addition, and not surprising given the proximity to the host venue, Texas also had high visit activity, especially once Connecticut won.
I put together the time-lapse heat map video below, which follows visit activity to tournament-related pages on TN.com, from the beginning of the South Regional Final on Saturday to past the end of the Midwest Regional on Sunday.

Today is the day the NCAA Tournament's Eastern and Midwest Regionals begin, and one thing is clear: The East Regionals have risen to a prominent position. For the previous two years, the South Regionals have dominated sales for tickets listed at TicketNetwork.com, or were at least about even with the Midwest, as was the case last year.
This year, the South Regionals have been left behind and in its place are the East Regionals, due at least in part to the addition of Madison Square Garden to the tournament. Currently, the games at MSG account for 26% of ticket sales for the Regionals, only beaten out by the Midwest Regionals at Lucas Oil Stadium, which account for 52%*.

SAN DIEGO—At a certain point Wednesday, the background on stage in the Grand Hyatt media room was changed from the generic MLB logo to that of the Dodgers. It was a precursor for the rest of the evening, as the Dodgers have dominated the final 24 hours of the meetings.
In 2014, Dodgers new president Andrew Friedman controlled a total payroll in Tampa Bay that was $77 million. In 24 hours, Friedman has made trades, coming and going, involving about $190 million in payroll. Questions of how he would make the adjustment have been answered.
The Dodgers started off by sending second baseman Dee Gordon and right-hander Dan Haren to the Marlins for left-hander Andrew Heaney, second baseman Enrique Hernandez, right-hander Chris Hatcher and catcher Austin Barnes. The Dodgers then sent Heaney to the Angels for second baseman Howie Kendrick. Also still in the hopper and not officially announced are the free-agent signing of right-handed starter Brandon McCarthy for four years and the acquisition of former MVP shortstop Jimmy Rollins from the Phillies, likely for a package of prospects.
Then, overnight, in a deal that had been rumoured all week, the Dodgers sent outfielder Matt Kemp to the Padres, with catcher Tim Federowicz for catcher Yasmani Grandal and right-hander Joe Wieland. The Dodgers will pick up a significant amount of the remaining $107 million in salary.

death metal
Bing Crosby
Composer/musical prankster Andy Rehfeldt has struck again. You may remember his hilarious smooth-jazz sendup of Metallica's "Enter Sandman," or his polka-fication of Chris Brown. He's also done metal versions of Abba and Coldplay songs. But in the spirit of the holiday season (gag), Rehfeldt is fucking with Der Bingle. He's recorded a death metal version of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" synced to old TV footage of Bing Crosby's rendition. And why not? You've got to be sick of that deathless "Little Drummer Boy" with Bowie by now, right?

Windows 8 and the Myth of the All-Purpose Device
With the release of Windows 8 and its ecosystem of hardware near at hand, I have been thinking about the ancient (in technology years) myth of the all-purpose device. This myth is one every geek knows and dreams of. The idea of having a single device that you carry around that can meet all of the technology needs you have is one that has captured the imagination since the days of the first "portable" computers. For geeks everywhere, though, it is ultimately a dream that leaves us depressed and... Read more →

'Mandela in critical condition'
More News from Agence France-Presse
JOHANNESBURG—Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela who is receiving treatment for a recurrent lung infection is now in critical condition, South Africa's presidency said Sunday.
"The condition of former president Nelson Mandela, who is still in hospital in Pretoria, has become critical," Mac Maharaj, presidential spokesman, said in a statement.
The condition of 94-year-old who was admitted to hospital on June 8 has worsened in the past 24 hours.
President Jacob Zuma broke the news after visiting Mandela in hospital Sunday evening and was told by doctors "that the former president's condition had become critical over the past 24 hours."
Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president in 1994, is due to celebrate his 95th birthday on July 18. He has been hospitalized four times since December, mostly for the pulmonary condition that has plagued him for years.

"They were always friendly during the campaign, but plus they served as governors during the same time. Gov. Romney was head of the Republican Governors' Association when Pawlenty was running for re-election in 2006. Gov. Pawlenty, in a tough year for Republicans, was one of the few real success stories, and Gov. Romney deserved a lot of credit for that as head of the RGA. They ended up working a bit together in that capacity," the aide said. "Then on the campaign trail in the primary they bumped into each other a couple of times and were always friendly. Then after Gov. Pawlenty dropped out he and Mary went to spend a weekend with the Romneys, and I think that's where they got to know each other really personally. Since then on the campaign trail, they've campaigned together a bunch of times."
"He was one of the first people to endorse Gov. Romney, and he did it because he thought Gov. Romney was the best candidate in the field by far and felt very strongly that he could be the best president," the aide continued. "Now he's really gotten to know Gov. Romney and Ann, and he has really enjoyed campaigning for them and is committed to seeing him elected. He's been a loyal and effective surrogate. Whether that translates into a close look for vice president is anyone's guess, but I think it was the last thing on the governor's mind when he endorsed him.
"I don't think he was ever expecting to be talked about in this way. He joined various corporate boards and is doing a lot of interesting international things, in addition to spending as much time as possible helping Gov. Romney. Plus he's got his daughters and his family life. So those are his focuses and he's really not paying attention to the vice presidential stuff."
Publicly Pawlenty, who is a national Romney campaign co-chair, has expressed a reluctance to talk about the veepstakes and has stated that he can "best serve Mitt in other ways." In Minneapolis last month, he went so far as to encourage people to "remove my name from the list." However, weeks later, he said that "anybody would be honored to serve if asked."
Brian McClung, a spokesman for Pawlenty, said the former governor is not agreeing to interviews for stories on the vice presidential selection "because he wants to keep the focus on the issues and Gov. Romney.
"Gov. Pawlenty believes Gov. Romney will be a great president and he's happy to serve as an active volunteer," McClung said. "Gov. Pawlenty believes he can be helpful in other ways and has encouraged the consideration of other running mate prospects. He is enjoying his time in the private sector."
In the meantime, Pawlenty continues to work as a loyal surrogate. In an appearance last Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Pawlenty ripped President Obama's record during his tenure in the Oval Office.
"It really looks to me like a shrinking presidency," he said, arguing that "the president is out of ideas, and he's out of time and now he should be out of office."
"The president's message of 'it could be worse and it's somebody else's fault' four years into his presidency – that's not a basis to re-elect somebody," he said. "We don't give out participation ribbons for being president of the United States. You actually have to do something."

Super League: Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson ready for Warrington challenge
Last Updated: 23/09/13 3:23pm
Paul Anderson: Believes his side have a challenge against Warrington Wolves
Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson has admitted he is 'not fussed' that the Warrington board picked his side in the Super League play-off semi-finals after Sunday's Club Call.
Anderson, who was critical of the three-day wait to discover his side's semi-final opponents, has already seen his side beaten three times by the Wolves this year.
Warrington v Huddersfield
Thursday 7.30pm, live on Sky Sports 2HD
And when asked if he had a slight inclination that the Warrington board were going to choose Huddersfield, he told Sky Sports: "Not really, but we've got a challenge now.
"Warrington feel they can beat us so they we have to try and challenge them and try and match them.
"They obviously feel they can beat us so we've got to knuckle down and prepare for Thursday."
The table-topping Giants thrashed Hull FC 76-18 to reach the play-off last four and Anderson feels his players will be fresh for their next challenge next week.
"Warrington feel they can come here and beat us so they we have to try and challenge them and try and match them."
Paul Anderson
"Yes, we came through the game pretty well and obviously the thing from last Thursday was to get a win and be in this position now, so we're happy with that," he added.
"We knew we had to leave the John Smith's Stadium and come to Wigan or Warrington so there's no real surprises.
"We have to come here (Halliwell Jones Stadium) on Thursday and we have got to play well to win."
The winners will face either Wigan or Leeds in the Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday October 5.

|Negotiating the legal divorce process: mothers' perceptions and experiences of the legal system
|Malia, Sarah Elaine Catherine, 1977-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This study explored divorcing mothers' perceptions of the legal system and divorce in order to develop a grounded theory based on their experiences of this complex process. Divorce in the U.S. often places a disproportionate burden on women and children. Around half of all first marriages are expected to end in divorce, and nearly 40% of all children will experience parental divorce before age 18. Based on participants' interviews, I developed a Divorce Control Efforts Framework and found that navigating the unfamiliar, intimidating legal system contributes to divorce-related stress, uncertainty, and sense of powerlessness that many divorcing women experience. Mothers actually negotiate their divorce issues with both their ex-spouse and the legal system, and they seek to establish a sense of control through legal and nonlegal resources and methods. Their approaches to divorce can be described along a continuum from private/personal to legal/ professional divorces. Mothers' satisfaction with the legal system and divorce outcome depends on the extent to which they achieve their divorce goals and gain or maintain a sense of control throughout the process. Although many aspects of legal divorce process remain out of women's hands, those women who generally believe and expect they should be and are in charge of their divorce process (rather than external legal system supports) will more likely experience a satisfactory divorce.

Racism and sexism
Now and then, we choose the most convenient prism through which to view our most serious social problems, however superficially, because it comes packaged in equal doses of celebrity and infamy.
There is a drug crisis in most states, but it hardly registers until Rob Ford's drooling visage fills the TV screen or Philip Seymour Hoffman drops dead. This country has a mass shooting problem, with 4,500 dead and 19,600 more bleeding on ER tables so far this year, but the world doesn't notice until Plaxico Burress puts a hole in his own thigh. We cannot educate children in many cities, but the tragedy goes unnoticed until some altruistic billionaire drops $100 million on Newark.
So now there is fresh dialogue about racism and sexism, spilling into the mainstream media with an inadvertent shove from Donald Sterling and Jill Abramson, but to discuss either as a cause celebre' is to trivialize the real issues.
Abramson, a journalist as subtle as a blowtorch, was accused of unspecified acts of brusque behavior, committed among the princely hierarchy at the New York Times. But the theme that had the most traction was an unsubstantiated claim involving a lower salary than the one earned by her predecessor.
Indeed, Abramson might be a sympathetic figure. But gender justice isn't so much about an executive making $450,000 as it is about pay equity in America, an issue that was muted the moment the U.S. Senate blocked a vote last month, and about having the worst maternity leave policy in the world.
Moreover, racism isn't merely the purview of dotty old men such as Sterling. Racism is common cause in our political culture — not only in Cliven Bundy's America, but in the institutional marginalization of minorities by our courts and our laws, which conspire to produce segregated schools and voting restrictions and countless wars waged on the poor.
Theologian Paul Tillich said if we don't develop a keener eye for racism or sexism or homophobia, and address them only when the news cycle gives us no other choice, we're mistaking moralism for morality. The real systemic sins are hiding inside the latter. Yet the cycle spins on. — The Star-Ledger
US Export-Import Bank
Government agencies, bureaus and departments whose services are no longer needed tend to hang around too long. Bureaucracies, once in place, are difficult to remove.
The task becomes far easier when the agency has an expiration date.
The US Export-Import Bank is such an agency. And lawmakers should let its Sept. 30 expiration date pass without a reauthorization.
This Depression-era relic that most taxpayers have never heard of uses their money to secure financing for favored corporations and foreign governments under the aegis of "facilitating" U.S. exports.
Like most New Deal-era machinations, the Export-Import Bank's time has come and gone.
Global trade is no longer the exotic and tumultuous prospect it was when President Roosevelt created Ex-Im to finance trade with the Soviet Union in 1934. These days, any major American corporation worth its salt has been doing business overseas without assistance for decades. And thanks to e-commerce, even small businesses are exporting their wares overseas.
So what does Ex-Im do exactly? If you ask Diane Katz, the Heritage Foundation's regulatory policy fellow, Ex-Im is "a conduit for corporate welfare beset by unreliable risk management, inefficiency and cronyism."
That assessment is backed up by a review of its annual report. Ex-Im's biggest customers are multinational U.S. corporations such as Bechtel, Boeing, Caterpillar and General Electric - the kinds of "exporters" most would be shocked to learn need taxpayer-funded assistance.
As with most forms of corporate welfare, Ex-Im's spoils tend to go to the companies with the most lobbyists and biggest government relations budgets. You can be assured Big Business lobbyists are working overtime to ensure the spigot to the government-finance hose isn't turned off.
If our elected officials were truly committed to bolstering America's competitiveness in global trade, they would eschew corporate welfare for a reduction in export tax and regulatory barriers - starting with Dodd-Frank regulations - and reduce the corporate income tax to encourage US companies to repatriate their overseas profits.
Any way you slice it, Ex-Im is one dinosaur that should be allowed to go extinct. — The Augusta Chronicle

Canibus wanna battle while I'm sticking him up
from 50 Cent (Ft. The Mad Rapper) – How to Rob Lyrics on Genius
Canibus specializes in battle rapping and has been involved in various beefs with notable emcees such as LL Cool J and Eminem, also including beefs with many other less noteworthy emcees. How absurd is Canibus? He trying to battle at gunpoint and shit — look at this guy!
In the song "How We Roll" Canibus spits the line "I hop into the backseat of a cab and rhyme til the meter says 9, 9, 9, 9". Fif clearly has planned something a little different and Canibus ain't ever gonna make it to the cab — he gon' be dead.

Heatley scores twice for Wild in 4-2 win vs. Avs
Midway through that period, the Avalanche put themselves in another precarious spot. Downie was whistled for both cross-checking and roughing, giving the Wild an extended extra-skater situation.
Then, Ryan O'Byrne picked up a penalty for holding the stick, and the Wild were given an opening-night gift — nearly 2 minutes of a 5-on-3 advantage. Varmalov denied Matt Cullen, Parise and Heatley.
But the Wild stayed patient, crisply passing the puck back and forth until picking their shooting spots, and Heatley muscled for position at the crease to redirect a short try from Parise.
"I love the fact that I'm going to get to be up here ... and talk about how good he is," Wild coach Mike Yeo said, adding: "The work ethic is just relentless."
The Wild outshot the Avalanche 18-5 in the second period.
"It doesn't matter who's out there. You can trust that they're going to do the job," Koivu said.
By adding Mitchell to their third line and P.A. Parenteau to the second line, the Avalanche have some more complements for standout forwards Gabe Landeskog, Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene, Milan Hejduk and David Jones.
But they're missing center Ryan O'Reilly, who remains unsigned after leading the team with 37 assists last season.
The Avalanche have a capable veteran backup goalie in Jean-Sebastien Giguere, but they're counting on Varmalov, who finished an up-and-down first year in Colorado strong, posting a 1.88 goals against -average over his final 18 starts.
Landeskog, the Calder Trophy winner last season as the league's top rookie, is the other young piece of the Avalanche core as the youngest captain at age 20 in NHL history.
McLeod scored on a rebound of Greg Zanon's slap shot from the point after the Avalanche won a faceoff in the Wild zone, but that was the extent of their attack after controlling the first period and holding a 12-5 edge in shots.
"There's no question that penalties on us changed the momentum of that game," coach Joe Sacco said. "Before that, everything was going pretty good."
NOTES: The Wild improved to 11-0-1 in home openers in their history. This was the sixth-highest attendance total in team history. ... Mitchell had 16 points and a plus-10 rating for the Rangers last season.

The True Defeatists
Last week, I took a couple of swipes at Charles Murray's fatalistic, offensive, and oddly persistent claim that many children (by which he generally means poor children and children of color) are largely ineducable.
Richard Nisbett does a much better job of tackling Murray's arguments in his recent book, Intelligence and How to Get It. (The New York Times reviewed Nisbett's book on Sunday.) IQ is malleable, he argues, so it makes all the sense in the world to help struggling students excel academically.
Any educator worth his or her salt subscribes to this view. Still, Murray's work lives on. It earns respectful reviews even from people who generally know better.
Murray's persistence should focus the mind of anyone interested in improving the lot of children. Overblown media reports of battles between school reformers and those who believe schools alone cannot easliy close achievement gaps are distracting attention from the true enemies of improvement.
Some commentators have compounded the confusion by lumping Charles Murray and major proponents of the schools-plus Approach together in the same "defeatist" camp. The latter argue that schools cannot close achievement gaps without strong community and political supports. The former argues that neither schools nor communities--nor anyone else--can close achievement gaps, because those gaps reflect students' immutable intellectual abilities.
In fact, the true defeatists abhor both in-school and out-of-school strategies to close achievement gaps and promote equal opportunity. And they're not going away any time soon.
Please keep blogging on this
Please keep blogging on this disturbing trend. There is something very anxiety-producing when the loudest voices in the "reform" community have shifted to a kind of "we know he's right, but can't say it out loud" tacit approval of Murray and his ilk.
In the past week, I have read several pieces claiming that schools are wrong when they say they need parent support to make gains--that parents will come in droves when educators fix the urban schools. They portray poor urban parents as savvy consumers-- a clever way of pushing all responsibility for the education of poor children on to schools. And when the children of wealthy families decide to "give back" to poor children for two years, before going on to their real careers or graduate school, it's seen as a viable solution to upgrading the teaching force.
Underneath all of this is a bedrock of belief in a meritocracy, and a desire to provide enough "cost-effective" support for poor children to salve the national conscience.
Thank you, Nancy. Like you,
Thank you, Nancy. Like you, I worry that some of the reform strategies that are gaining the most attention right now will still leave many students and families behind. There may indeed be those who believe that such reforms have succeeded only if they have separated the wheat from the chaff--by rewarding the most gifted students or the most motivated families.
Still, I believe that the majority of school reform advocates across the ideolgocial spectrum find Murray's ideas abhorrent, truly believe all children can learn if given the opportunity to do so, and see schools as essential tools in the effort to ensure equal opportunity. It's important to remind such advocates--whether they subscribe to the Education Equality Project model, the Broader, Bolder model, or both--that they have common convictions about students' potential and a common passion for equity.
Sometimes it takes people like Murray and his followers to bring us back to essentials.

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the scrapping of the controversial proposed Mumbai development plan (DP).
In one of the biggest drug busts this year, 746g of cocaine was seized from two Nigerians at the Mumbai Central terminus on Friday morning.
Schools across the country are feeling the pinch of having fewer teaching days as exams near because the new government at the Centre has asked them to observe different 'days' over the past nine months.
If the draft development plan (DP) is to be believed, the city neither has enough slums nor enough hawkers for them to be recognised and planned for. The DP, the city's blueprint, has left out the city's slums as well as street vendors from its 20-year-long vision for the city.
Luxury apartments in a Mumbai skyscraper touted as the world's tallest residential building set to be completed next year have gone on sale in the British capital with a starting price tag of 1.4 million pounds.
Although Mumbai will need 4,708.03 hectares of public amenities for the projected population of 13.95 million in 2034, the draft development plan (DP) 2034 does not provide reservations for 44% of this land demand.
If the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) DP is to be believed, 1,009 hectares of Aarey land is set be developed into a theme park and various small recreational parks.
In a bid to boost the ratio, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has proposed to include 'large urban greens' as part of open spaces in Mumbai.
The BMC may be pushing for variable Floor Space Index (FSI) in the range of 2.5- 8, which would mean more vertical growth, but affordability still remains a question.
It is important to ask what happens to Mumbai when the high FSI results in construction of thousands of flats, but the BMC is unable to keep up its end of the bargain?
Residents of Thane, Navi Mumbai and the eastern suburbs may soon have to pay more for power, as the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited has proposed a 25-38% hike for domestic users, even while suggesting the tariff be reduced for industrial and commercial users.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Sunday completed the demolition of a ramp illegally constructed by actor Shah Rukh Khan on a public road outside his bungalow Mannat in Bandra (West).
A threat message warning of an ISIS attack on Republic Day was spotted on a toilet wall in Mumbai airport on Friday, nine days after a similar message.
If all goes according to plan, you will have your say on the development that takes place on the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) land.
With an investment of nearly Rs1 lakh crore riding on big-ticket infrastructure projects in the state in the coming years, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis is keen on setting up a separate mechanism within his office to closely monitor these projects.

Post subject: Patreon
Anyone here have any experience with or thoughts on Patreon? I know it's the old micro-payments thing again, but this time there seems to be some decent results (at least initially) and it does appear to be gaining some momentum.
Anyway, didn't see a discussion about it here and thought it might make an interesting topic.

You could also call it "the old crowdfunding thing." : )
I just started up a Patreon for my webcomic recently:
I tried to base what I did on the super-popular webcomic Patreon campaigns, like SMBC, and to a lesser extent Wapsi Square, etc. I think I'm still lacking in the milestone department...but I'm kinda skeptical that the setup matters a whole lot, seems to me that it's almost entirely down to how big your readership is, ie basically x % of your readers will participate--depending maybe on how visible you make the links to your Patreon page on your main site, and how eloquent they are. Basically I think you have to keep telling people about it, reminding them, etc...hopefully not to the point of too much annoyance, of course. For instance I now have a kind of noticeable text banner link thing to my Patreon underneath my comic on my site--is that more annoying than it is effective? I dunno!
I find Patreon's search thingy a bit befuddling; for instance, as far as I can tell, if you try searching for "webcomics," you will only get the top ten results or so...ever. Bleh! So I don't think you can count on a whole lot of "discovery" through the Patreon site itself, it's up to you to drive people there from your own site. (The one thing I am hoping for is that someone will be lazy and type in just the first three letters of "SMBC," in which case my "smbhax" will be the other search result ; )...I have no indication that that has worked at all, heh. : P)
All that being said, it *is* kind of just money sitting there waiting for you to cash it in, so there's really no reason *not* to do it as far as I can see; mind you, just don't over-promise on the rewards (again, for me so far the rewards don't seem to be what drives people to participate; since Patreon is ongoing funding, the rewards are much more symbolic in comparison to what people are giving you than Kickstarter, where it's a one-time funding for that one-time reward; then again, maybe if I was smarter I could come up with some ongoing rewards that somehow wouldn't take up more and more of my time each month--I've seen people offer access to a live monthly vlogcast, for instance; not sure how much of a draw that kind of thing is, though, and personally I don't like the idea of putting my content behind a paywall like that).
Oh yeah one thing I thought was interesting was that since their campaign video pitches are just embedded YouTube vids, you can see how many views they have--and you can see that, for webcomic campaigns at least, almost nobody bothers watching them! Which was a relief, because I really didn't want to do a video. : P

smbhax.com - if you work with a buffer, you could let your supporters see the next page or so early. That'd give you at least one subscriber-type reward that really wouldn't be any extra work.

I started a
in late January out of sheer desperation -- not so much for money (though I could always use more of that) but I desperately needed to find ways to buy some
The response was really positive, and for my readership size I feel I've done well.
Patreon is, basically, a way to automate donations. Most potential donors only give when they're poked with a stick, and most of us do not like to stand there every update waving a flag and going "Hey! Over here! Donate button! GIVE ME MONEY OR ELSE!" With Patreon, you poke them, they donate, and you
keep getting paid
without that need to find new, better, and pointier sticks.
As such, it doesn't pay to pour too much into your donation levels. If you have the time, energy, and desire, sure -- but most people are
going to donate for your Cool Stuff, they're going to donate what they can afford. And it's really hard to guess what motivates people.
It is also helpful to have some very clear goals for yourself and your audience. "Hey, I have a Patreon, I would like some money" doesn't really motivate people. Be specific about why you need this. Be specific about what will happen when you get it, or what will happen if you don't. Try to keep your writeup very concise.
You will have an initial surge of signups followed by a very, very slow trickle. Try to maximize that initial surge. When I pitched the idea of a Patreon to my husband he said, "for god's sake do an update announcing it, because I never scroll down to the blog section on webcomics and I'm always missing donation drives and Kickstarters because of it." So I did, and I think that helped a lot. I also did a random drawing for anyone who signed up to Patreon by the end of the month -- hard to say how much that helped, but I don't think it hurt.
Logistically I have no complaints. Patreon's search, as others have said, sucks balls, but the setup is very simple, the payouts have been utterly painless (the fees seem closer to 10% than the 8% they suggest, but they've already dropped once in the two months I've been signed up, so I'm okay with that) and the risk is very low.
As for the money... it's not like something that'll make or break me, but... there's something magic about knowing people will give you money just because they like your stuff.
I've stopped feeling so guilty about the time I take "away" from my day job or my kidlet, because dammit now the webcomic is
paying work
instead of just my guilty pleasure. It's given me the courage to tell my bosses I think I'm working too many hours and want to cut back. I've even started looking at Kickstarter again, tentatively, because... well, I have at least 22 people who'd buy in for sure, maybe it wouldn't be such a long shot as all that....?
So yeah. Patreon is a great tool and I'm pleased with it. But as with all tools you get better results from careful usage.

Come to think of it, the reason I decided to try Patreon was because I had someone donate via my old PayPal donate button, which hardly ever happens so I emailed them to thank them, and they said no problem but have you looked at something like Patreon, I'd prefer to use *that* to get you money. So that got me thinking!

Oh yeah, I've seen some that do that! I'm not too keen on even a one-day paywall though...well and I just can't resist showing my latest stuff to everyone as soon as it's done. Which is also why I operate without a buffer I guess. ; )

Try to keep your writeup very concise.
I started with what I'd thought would be a short one, but somehow in Patreon's narrow column the three small paragraphs looked dauntingly long--so I kept whittling away at it and to my surprise it eventually boiled down to three sentences. : ) Might be *too* short, I suppose...but I think it's really mostly just your own readers who are seeing the page, anyway, and if someone new comes along, well, at least this way there's a chance they'll read the whole thing. : )

Nice to come back and see so many thoughtful responses. Definitely some good and beneficial material being posted here. Very awesome. Although, I'm finding that I don't have much to add to the discussion I'm mostly just nodding my head in agreement with what's being said.
The one area that still gives me concern is in regard to when that initial surge turns to a trickle as Katastrophe pointed out. Trickles very easily die off. So, how do we keep it going?
I do like the idea of posting pages early for Patreon supporters. It's work that I'd be doing anyway plus it gives contributors a feeling of satisfaction that they are getting something for their donations and on a regular, recurring basis which is motivation to keep their subscription.
Occasional promotional bursts could be great too. For example, say you finish a new chapter, convert it to a pdf and say, Hey, new pdf is now available! Get it here for x amount of dollars OR you can go to my Patreon and donate X and get a bundle package with all these extras! While the promotion might be for a one time thing, this still could be a be a good way to send eyeballs back to our patreon pages when things inevitably slow down.
I'm just worried that a graphic link or banner on our comic's site as a reminder of our Patreon page is that it just becomes background noise like everything else after awhile.

Yeah, the links on my site are really for new arrivals. I'm definitely planning on giving it a good mention in the blog now and then (more milestones would be a good excuse for this...); and I set up my rewards as sketches, which I normally show in my blog anyway, so whenever I've sent one of those out to a new supporter I'll be able to feature it in the blog too and mention by the by that it went to someone because they helped me out on Patreon. : )

I have a
Patreon campaign
of my own, and started one mainly to be able to have time to work on a personal project without having to sacrifice time that could be spent working on freelance/commission work. I only just began using in the tail end of February, but I've seen what I feel are great results for having a comic that's still on hiatus (I'll be updating again in April officially, but the patrons charged for March are rewarded with early access to new pages), and I'll be keeping an eye on it once I'm able to officially introduce a Patreon button to my main site.
I really like that Patreon has the option of pledging either per new content or monthly. If updates are regular, using a monthly charge is best, but if they become irregular, creators can switch to charging patrons per content update. However, communication with patrons is very,
important in doing this, as only the frequency will change and not the amount charged. Luckily, Patreon does allow patrons to set a monthly cap to help avoid this, but it's not mandatory, and only works if they've done so, of course.
The tiered reward system is also nice, and familiar as many are already accustomed to Kickstarter-like interfaces. I think a lot of success (or at least much less stress) lies in manageable rewards. For example, most of my rewards rely on early page/first-look art access, and only the highest tiers get things that cost me small amounts of time or money, such as headshot sketches of their OC or free posters. I follow KS campaigns fairly often, and have seen how rewards can balloon out of control, so I've tried to be careful and limit myself to things that I know won't be a time sink and leave people wondering where the things I've promised are.
I'll echo previous posts and also vouch for Patreon's easy payout system. They pay out around the 15th of each month, but you also have the option of requesting immediate payout. Of course, they get their cut, which is 5%, plus credit card fees, which I believe was recently lowered to 2.1%
One thing I've noticed is that you honestly get what you put into your campaign. I think I've largely done well because I've 1)announced the campaign every place I post my art (tumblr, dA, etc.); 2)really been selling early page access; and 3) probably the biggest thing, made a video explaining my goals and the Patreon process, whereas other comics who I know for a fact have larger readerships than me haven't done near as well, because they really only announced it on one platform and didn't include a video (Patreon themselves say that campaigns with videos do significantly better, by 25%, if I remember correctly).
As great as Patreon is, I think it is a good idea to include a tip jar on main pages along with it, so people still have the option of one-off donations. I was talking to one of my readers recently who told me he wanted to support my comic, but didn't want to do it through Patreon. When I asked why, he said a monthly deduction would be more difficult for him to budget. So, something to keep in mind.
I think Patreon is definitely a great venue to try, but as others have said, it's largely going to depend on you making sure readers know about it, so don't be shy!

This topic had got me thinking about doing a separate thread to collect all the webcomic Patreons into one list, but a quick Google showed me that
that is already being done, on tumblr
And they found mine, so obviously this is a pretty good list. : D

And I certainly wouldn't mind a dedicated thread here as well - might be a nice feature for the community.

R. Fisher - it looks like yours is going very well, congrats.
If you're willing to share, what was your experience as far as getting donations through your PayPal button?
(P.S. Love your art style.)
You guys may have already seen this, but Patreon has a video on YouTube with some
helpful tips
I think I'm going to start putting a page together, though it'll take a while for me. Not like there's a rush or anything though, haha.
And yeah, I think it would be good to have a thread here. No reason not to put the link in more places, right? Potentially bring more eyes to them.

MindChimera - Thanks all around! Admittedly, I've received very few donations via Paypal, but I think this is possibly because it was positioned too low on the site page (people rarely scroll beyond the bottom of comic pages), and that there is no incentive for people to donate just because. Comics that set up donation goals for extra pages per week/month seem to do a lot better in that regard, so I may experiment with that at a later date.

My Patreon campaign
is kind of slow, but I love donating that way. It makes my life so much easier, especially since I often get advance updates in my email.

DETROIT -- After his fellow Detroit pitchers had struck out 32 Red Sox batters in the first two games of the ALCS, Justin Verlander took the mound Tuesday for Game 3 knowing he had a tough act to follow.
And he topped it.
Verlander tied a Major League Baseball postseason record by striking out six consecutive Sox in the second and third innings at Comerica Park. The mark, originally set by Hod Eller of the Cincinnati Reds against the "Black Sox" -- the team that threw the World Series -- in 1919, had been tied twice since then: by the Orioles' Moe Drabowsky against Dodgers in the 1966 World Series, and by the Cardinals' Todd Worrell against the Royals in the 1985 Series.
Verlander's streak started, ironically, after he'd walked David Ortiz to lead off the second. He fanned Mike Napoli, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jonny Gomes to end that inning, then whiffed Stephen Drew, Will Middlebrooks and Jacoby Ellsbury in the third.
The streak ended when Shane Victorino fouled out as he led off in the fourth.
John Lackey, meanwhile, nearly matched him in those same innings: He struck out Alex Avila and Omar Infante to end the second, and Andy Dirks and Austin Jackson to start the third. His four-in-a-row streak was snapped by Torii Hunter, who hit a soft grounder to second.
The MLB record for consecutive strikeouts in the regular season is 10, set by Tom Seaver of the New York Mets in 1970.
