text: PurdueGuy 72 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_ne...ext_saturn_aura Nothing in this article that hasn't already been revealed on Cheers & Gears directly, or through other linked articles. This article mainly served to annoy me by: A) getting the build location of the current Aura wrong (they say it's built in Spring Hill, TN instead of Kansas City) B) not clearly labeling their photos as the concept version (it's stated in the article text, but it should be stated under the photo, IMO.) This is especially annoying since we already have seen pretty good spy photos of the production version, and it's notably different from the concept.

Performers were asked to create a work envisioning what we hoped for the future of Nashville, be it tomorrow, or 10,000 years from now. The fight for equality & efforts to end bullying weighed heavy on my mind. I asked myself what I wanted for the future, not just for Nashville, but for all of humanity. Turns out, this song was my answer.

MOSCOW — The latest news from Russian President Vladimir Putin's end of year news conference. All times local.
3:25 p.m.
President Vladimir Putin says that those who killed Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov must be tracked down and punished.
Toward the end of a news conference that lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes, Putin said he personally knew Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister who was gunned down on a bridge near the Kremlin.
The Russian leader says that he had not discussed the issue with the leadership of the province of Chechnya, whose residents have been detained on suspicion of involvement in the crime, but added that no one would be immune from prosecution.
3:05 p.m.
President Vladimir Putin says that Russia doesn't see a new anti-terror coalition led by Saudi Arabia as hostile to its interests, but he called for pooling global efforts to fight against terrorism.
Speaking at Thursday's news conference, Putin said that he doesn't quite understand the purpose of creating the new coalition, because many of its members are part of the U.S.-led coalition.
At the same time, he adds that Russia has cooperated with Saudi Arabia despite their differences on the Syrian crisis.
2:55 p.m.
President Vladimir Putin says Russia is working with Egypt to restore air links that Moscow cut following the crash of a Russian airliner on the Sinai Peninsula. Moscow has said the plane was downed by an explosive device.
Putin said at Thursday's news conference that Russia decided to suspend air travel with Egypt because its agencies aren't immediately capable of guaranteeing safety of Russian citizens. He says that the move wasn't political and he praised the Egyptian president for his "great personal courage" in fighting terror.
He says the air links will be restored after Russian and Egyptian officials work out a set of measures to ensure safety, including the presence of Russian representatives at Egyptian airports.
2:15 p.m.
President Vladimir Putin says that Russia honestly won the right to host the 2018 World Cup.
Asked to comment on the ongoing investigation into the alleged corruption at FIFA, he said that Russia has done nothing wrong. He said that the nation has won the right to host the soccer tournament in an "honest competition."
Putin has praised FIFA's suspended president, Sepp Blatter, for his contribution to the world soccer. And the Russian leader repeated his belief that Blatter deserves a Nobel prize for his efforts.
2:05 p.m.
President Vladiimir Putin says Russia is committed to fighting doping in sports and will cooperate with international organizations to do that.
Speaking at a televised news conference Thursday, Putin said doping harms athletes' health and those who use it must be punished.
At the same time, he said that athletes who aren't involved in doping should not be punished alongside the violators.
Putin said that "Russia must and will be open for a joint fight with doping," adding that he will demand that the nation's sports officials fully cooperate with international structures.
Russia is ready to improve ties with the United States and work with whomever is elected its next president, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday. He said his talks with U.S. Secretary John Kerry earlier this week showed that Washington is ready to "move toward settling the issues that can only be settled through joint efforts."
Addressing Russia's strained relations with some of its neighbors at his annual news conference, attended by hundreds of Russian and foreign journalists, Putin said he saw no possibility of overcoming the tensions with Turkey under its current leadership, and wanted to see the conflict in Ukraine settled as soon as possible.
Putin said the Russian military operation in Syria will continue until a political process starts, but it is up to the Syrians to decide when to stop fighting and sit down for talks. "We aren't going to be more Syrian than the Syrians themselves," he added.
He also offered assurances that the Russian economy was showing signs of stabilization despite plummeting oil prices, in fielding an array of questions from journalists representing state-owned media organizations about whether the government was coping with the challenges and whether the country could afford waging a war.
The economy is set to decline by 3.8 percent this year, and average income has dropped this year for the first time since Putin was first elected in 2000.
Russian warplanes have flown thousands of combat sorties in Syria since Moscow began its air campaign on Sept. 30. Putin said the campaign will continue until work begins on a political settlement.
The president said he was unsure whether Russia needs a permanent military base in Syria, since new Russian weapons, such as sea- and air-launched cruise missiles, give Moscow enough punch to strike an enemy from afar.
Putin said Moscow supports the U.S. draft of a U.N. Security Council resolution on Syria. He said Russia and the U.S. agree on the need to ensure the drafting of a new constitution for Syria and create mechanisms of control over future elections, in which Syrians themselves will determine their leadership.
Some of his harshest words were reserved for Turkey. After a Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian bomber along the Syrian border on Nov. 24, Putin said he was stunned that Ankara, instead of contacting Moscow to explain its actions, turned immediately to NATO.
With Ukraine, however, Putin said Russia was interested in seeing the conflict settled as quickly as possible. He urged the Ukrainian government to approve legislation on holding elections in the eastern regions, where Russia-backed separatists have been fighting government troops since April 2014. More than 9,000 people have been killed.
While insisting that Russia has no regular troops in eastern Ukraine, Putin acknowledged that there have been people "performing some military tasks."
Asked whether Moscow is ready to exchange two men Ukraine says are Russian soldiers for Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko and other prisoners, Putin said any exchange must be equal and details could be discussed with the Ukrainian authorities.

Unanswered: deleting 11 000 000 rows...
I just dicovered that one of our tables contains over 11 000 000 rows.
My problem right now is to delete a major part of these rows.
What I've done so far is to create a sp that handles this, but no matter how I do, the batch gets sent with all delete:s at the same time.
What I understand, the batch gets sent after the GO-statement, and at the same time, all my variables looses scope...
The data is organized on dates, one date may comprise several rows, and I know that one batch can handle all rows in one date...
The table is indexed but has no PK
The main SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE clear_lagertransaktioner
@maxDate SMALLDATETIME
DECLARE @date SMALLDATETIME
DECLARE dateCur CURSOR FOR select distinct date from lagertransaktioner
OPEN dateCur
FETCH NEXT FROM dateCur INTO @date
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 AND @date<@maxDate
--Call another SP that I hoped would send the batch
exec del_post_lagertransaktioner @date
FETCH NEXT FROM dateCur INTO @date
CLOSE dateCur
DEALLOCATE dateCur
The nested SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE del_post_lagertransaktioner
@d SMALLDATETIME
DELETE FROM lagertransaktioner WHERE date=@d
Does any of you have a better idea, cause this doesn't work.

Me again...
Mabye it is better for me to just insert needed data into a new table and drop the original table, since this is a once-in-a-lifetime situation (hopefully)
What do you say?

Two options.
Run SELECT INTO and grab your small amount of rows and insert them into a new table. Then DROP the old table and re-name the new one. Provided you have an index to select from that should provide the lowest I/O.
If you want to batch it, do something like this:
SET ROWCOUNT 10000 WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0 DELETE FROM table_name WHERE etc.
You could also re-write the DELETE to use a subquery that uses TOP 10000 to also achive this effect.Thanks,

365 Reasons to Love Comics #290
Some bad guys don't get any respect. Today's featured bad guy is one of those. (Archive.)
290. The Melter
Some baddies have very obvious names that describe their entire villainous function. The Rhino's a big rhino dude. The Riddler riddles. The Tinkerer tinkers. The Shocker… well, okay, he vibrates. And the Melter? He melts stuff.
Bruno Horgan (no, that's not a typo– it's "Horgan," not "Hogan") was once a munitions man who fell into bankruptcy when safety inspectors shut him down and all his contracts were given to one Tony Stark. Horgan then discovered one of his defective machines was capable of projecting a beam of powerful energy that melted stuff. Naturally, he decided to seek revenge and strapped the thing to his chest. No, it doesn't sound very safe, but that's what made him broke in the first place. Of course, his revenge caused him to cross paths with Tony Stark's alter ego and "bodyguard"– the Invincible Iron Man!
Despite appearing way back in 1963 in Tales of Suspense #47 (in an 18-page epic fantasy super-spectacular by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko), and being a mainstay in the Masters of Evil for quite a while, "the mysterious Melter" has not had a storied history. Sure, he popped up on those classic ripped-from-the-panels animated shows, but that was back in the '60s. In fact, poor ol' Melty was shot to death by the Scourge of the Underworld a long ways back, sad to say.
So what went wrong? Surprisingly–or maybe not, depending on who you are–Iron Man has a very good rogues gallery. You've got the Mandarin, Spymaster, the Ghost, Fin Fang Foom, Ultimo, Blizzard, Whiplash, the occasional MODOK, and a bunch more I'm forgetting. It's easy to see why a dude like the Melter has been overlooked.
Also, there's his costume. I won't lie– it's maybe the nadir of super-villain fashion. Well, his original outfit, anyway; it looks like he's had a new one in every appearance. The lack of consistency is also a problem. But, okay, let's look at the first costume. We have a big purple helmet, baggy sleeves, elf boots, a big flowing cape, striped leggings, and some funky torso thing with a death ray that shoots out of his chest. Yeah, he looks silly. I happen to dig silly, but a team of blind wombats could dress a man better. He later switched the chest-ray to a gun, but by then it was too late: he'd landed on the lame list.
I think it's time for a Melter revamp. It'd be the first thing I did were I to write Iron Man, which I probably never will because I don't actually like Tony Stark at all. However–! The Melter, that's where it's at. His origin's fine– it's cool that Tony Stark, and not Iron Man, is his true enemy. All he needs is a cool new look and perhaps some extra gadgets. He's an industrial terrorist who can melt anything he wants. That's cool, right?
The Melter really needs a little more lovin' and respect. Poor Bruno never caught a break– I think it's time to give him one. There wasn't a Melter II, was there?

Nanovision from Korea has release a cool 7-inch mini size LCD monitor for easing your computing experience. It's always annoying to switch from windows to windows and sometimes we will feel one monitor is not enough for our needs. Well, when that urge comes to your mind, Mimo 7-inch LCD monitor is the solution:
See? Somehow one is not enough for most of the lazy user. if you are growing tired of switching from one windows to another, you should make your desk look like above! One screen for design, another for browsing, and the Mimo for check mail, or may be for chatting, etc.
It looks great as this Mimo 7inch LCD screen can picture up to 800 x 480 and you can rotate the face vertically or horizontally. Moreover, a webcam is also built into this small screen (at the side) and a DMB teve tuner.
Well, if you really feel one is not enough, Mimo might be your best partner to your lazyness! 😉
Just plug them into your usb port (yep, it's usb 2.0 driven) and they shall do their job well!

McAfee profits increase to €25m
Pre-tax profits at the main Irish unit of US security software maker McAfee increased by 7pc to €25m last year.
Accounts just filed with the Companies Office show that Cork-based McAfee Ireland's revenues rose from €393.45m to €419.86m in the 12 months to the end of December last year.
McAfee has its headquarters for its operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Cork and numbers employed there rose from 332 to 338.
In February 2011, Intel agreed to buy McAfee's global operation for $7.68bn (€5.6bn) in cash in an effort to boost its security offerings.
McAfee Ireland's directors state that the firm's gross margin decreased from 37pc to 35pc through 2014.
Profits were also boosted by the firm recording gains of €3.49m on foreign exchange movements. The directors reveal that in a shake-up of the structure of the firm, the company's parent, McAfee European Holdings transferred its holding in the company to a fellow group company, Intel Shannon Ltd.
The note states: "Subsequently, the company transferred certain employees and transferred all of its tangible fixed assets to Intel Shannon Ltd."
The spend on R&D last year totalled €9.97m compared to €9.67m in 2013.

Can we still retain him?
This article doesn't even mention the Jets as a landing spot.
LaRon Landry slated to make several visits
Posted by Mike Wilkening on March 12, 2013, 10:35 PM EDT
Getty Images
The Colts are the first club safety LaRon Landry will visit in free agency.
According to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Landry could also visit the Cardinals, Lions and 49ers.
Arizona, Detroit and San Francisco all seem logical suitors for Landry if he does not sign with Indianapolis right off the bat. The Cardinals recently released Adrian Wilson. The Lions have questions at both safety spots, particularly if free agent Louis Delmas signs elsewhere. (The Lions were linked to Landry last year.) Also, 49ers free safety Dashon Goldson is testing free agency, with Tampa Bay in pursuit.
Landry ranks No. 47 on our list of the top free agents of 2013. He racked up a career-best 100 tackles for the Jets in 2012.
Don't see any way he stays.
If he stays all well and good. Otherwise there are other FA's out there. Maybe Michael Huff maybe worth a look or draft someone like Sharmakko (sp)
Hard hitting safetys, like dinosaurs, will soon be extinct. Goodell will penalize and fine them so much in the interest of safety that it won't be worth signing them IMO.
Only thing about Laron is you can live, and die by him.
No thanks, we need youth, this team can build through draft - can't wait for next two drafts,
if they go well, we have the no 1 defense and great offense, as long as we don't trade our
4th for a tebow, or a broken down injury machine like Ivory, we'll be fine, I think you get
your best values in the 4th,
Laron is twice the player but half the man. Too soft / injury prone to max out his potential and have a nice career. Dawan got by with effort/efficiency/durability and zero talent/physical skills
I clicked on this thread as I thought it would actually be someone praising our GM for not wasting money on Landry, who will be sitting out his second straight game tomorrow, but I guess not. Anyway, I do agree, the days of the headhunting safety are gone - you better be able to cover like a CB if you want to be a good deep safety.
One thing I do think is that guys like Laron Landry and fortunately for us, Antonio Allen, will have big roles going forward as teams play more 5 DBs in their base packages. The 4-2-5 defense has worked the best against the spread in college and I believe that is where the NFL is going and fortunately, looking at our draft picks, I think Rex knows that.
We have a 4 man line (yes i consider coples a DE not a LB) that can play the run without having 3 LBs behind them. We have 2 LBs that can both be "inside LBs" and then we have a player in Allen who thrives close to the line, can blitz, cover TEs (he will get better in that regard as he was very strong vs the TE in college) and play the run really well.

Los Angeles , California (PressExposure) September 22, 2009 -- firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: 480-503-8298 Fax 480-302-5815 SKYPE: SchoolofTrade
The newest addition to the School of Trade is now available for all members! They are now introducing their latest trade set-up, called the Breaker pattern. The new trade set-up is a trend continuation trade, and encompasses all of their previous indicators and more! Just when you thought that the ever popular James Wave set-up as well as the 2-step set-up gave you unlimited trading opportunities, the School of Tradeâs latest addition combines aspects of both. Prior to the Breakerâs release, the School of Trade offered many different strategies, all available to their members in the websiteâs members section, but stuck to two simple strategies in their live daily trading room. Their first set-up was the James Wave, a trend continuation trade that relies on pull-backs to a trigger line, a failure of this set-up became their next trade room strategy, known as the 2-step, which relies on swing highs and lows. Now, with the release of the Breaker, if the 2-step fails to fit the School of Tradeâs conservative trading style, the Breaker automatically set-ups for a possible trade.
The Breaker strategy utilizes all of the latest indicators from the School of Trade, their Pace of the Tape indicator, as well as their automatic Line Levels and Swing High/low indicators. The basic idea behind the Breaker set-up is that price will attempt to break through a level of support or resistance, creating a swing high or low and after a slight pullback, will continue its trend upward or downward. When entering the trade, the School of Trade recommendâs its TRAP method, which is exclusively available to members only, and ensures the best possible entry price to lock in profits. Many other rules go into qualifying the trade set-up, but the basis behind it is simple and very easily taught. The markets the School of Trade is currently trading this strategy on include; the Dax futures, Mini-Russell futures, Euro futures, Gold futures, Crude Oil futures as well as the E-Mini S&P futures. For anyone interested in seeing the School of Tradeâs new Breaker strategy in real-time, come check it out for yourself by becoming a free trial member and entering their Live Trade Room, Monday 7:30AM â 12:00PM EST and Tuesday â Friday 2:45AM â 12:00PM EST.

Parker, CO (PressExposure) July 14, 2009 -- Trading Places 2x2 was created as the next big and very improved 2x2 program following Regenesis.
âWe just joined Trading Places 2x2 and we couldnât be more excited. We were big hitters in Regenesis 2x2, but I think that with the new improvements to the Trading Places 2x2 program, you truly canât lose. They have changed the software, added products, amped up the compensation plan, made some very nice websites, have a guarantee, increased customer support, and the list goes on.â Randy Neale says.
Trading Places 2x2 created the Pipeline Marketing System that guarantees to recruit two members for everyone.
âI know, I know, Red flags, when a company offers to recruit two people, but Trading Places 2x2 is actually offering a $100 back guarantee that this will happen. They have gone the extra mile and learned why other companies have failed, and made the necessary improvements to their system, websites, and support, so that everyone will be happy and successful.â Randy continues.
Trading Places 2x2âs compensation plan pays $2000 over and over and over again. This compensation plan is going to help a lot of people change their lives and quickly.
âI am excited to see where Trading Places 2x2 is going. It sounds to me like the owners who started the program are behind it and its success. I was talking with one of the executives and she told me that their plan is to have Trading Places around for a long time. I really hope this is true. We were really doing great in Regenesis, but I think that they grew too fast for their systems and support.â Courtney states.

Home > Mediaroom > Press Releases > 2014 > ACCC Releases 2014 Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide
Lori Gardner, Senior Director
Communications & Marketing
301.984.9496 ext. 226
For Immediate Release: February 3, 2014
ACCC Releases 2014 Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide
Help for providers to assist patients in accessing needed resources
ROCKVILLE, Md.—Eighty-eight percent of cancer programs who responded to the recent Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) Trends in Community Cancer Centers survey report seeing increasing numbers of patients who need help with prescription drug expenses, co-pays, and co-insurance. While patient assistance programs and other resources exist to help, the reality is that navigating program requirements, restrictions, and application processes can be daunting—for providers and patients alike.
ACCC's just released 2014 Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide is designed to assist healthcare providers in helping patients to access these resources. The guide—now in its fourth year—brings together information on pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical patient assistance program and reimbursement resources in a user-friendly format.
"While patient assistance programs help reduce financial hardships for patients and their families, the application process can be time consuming and tedious for providers and patients. These tasks can be almost impossible for those dealing with the impact of a cancer diagnosis and the demands of treatment, which only adds to the level of stress that the cancer patient is experiencing," said ACCC President Virginia T. Vaitones, MSW, OSW-C.
A recent study from Duke University found that although most cancer patients would like to talk about the cost of care with their doctors, often they don't, for a variety of reasons. The study concluded that providers need to do more to foster dialogue around these issues.
ACCC's 2014 Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide can help cancer program staff in conversations with patients who may be struggling with the financial burdens of cancer care, particularly uninsured and underinsured patients. There is a growing awareness of the importance of enabling patients to focus on healing rather than on the financial burdens of care. Many cancer programs are adding staff to serve as financial advocates to help patients and their families, according to the Trends in Community Cancer Centers survey.
The 2014 edition of the Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide includes:
- Financial counselor and patient advocate position descriptions
- Tool to estimate patient responsibility of treatment costs
- Charge capture flow chart
- Patient assistance checklist for uninsured patients
- Co-pay assistance checklist.
"We thought it was important to include an example of how an ACCC member successfully provided these financial assistance services to their patients," said Vaitones. "Last year, financial coordinators at Lehigh Valley Health Network obtained $4.3 million in free or reduced self-administered medication for 202 patients via pharmaceutical assistance programs and clearly helped reduce their patients' financial barriers to care."
At Aultman Hospital Cancer Center, Resource Advocate Randi Brocious, RN, OCN, used the Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide to help create her position description and to assist insured patients with the cost of their co-payments and deductibles. "The patients are so grateful, not only for the financial help, but also for not having to identify and coordinate the process themselves," said Brocious.
ACCC's 2014 Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide is available in both a print and digital edition with links directly to the patient assistance program websites, the forms patients and providers need, and more.

Living in the city isn't so bad, after all.
First off: read this post.
Who is the Radavist?
A group of individuals who share a love of cycling and the outdoors. We will always stop for a photo, or to hit a rope swing… Rubber side up!
Where did Prolly is Not Probably go?
It is still here, and then some. PiNP was one person's opinion and voice. Now we are a collective – a community of diverse opinions and rich stories.
What does the Radavist mean?
Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST
Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike to shredding the trails on full suspension. Take the time to get rad.

Living in the city isn't so bad, after all.
Ha ha. Beautiful though it may be, and I have lived (and cycled) here for 23 years, I can assure you that this was mostly shot very late at night. The average car driver in Rome spends 6-days a year stuck in traffic, and the roads are beyond description. It's so dangerous for cycling that many new cyclists ride on the wrong side of the road, against the traffic, as they feel safer – those that don't cycle on the pavements that is. I have broken my back (T4 – a policeman opened his car door without looking), my left femur (taxi driver pulled out without looking) and countless other fingers, ribs etc. Don't get me wrong, I love cycling, and won't give up, but this film portrays cycling in Rome in a VERY false light. The shots from 2:30 onwards I do on my daily commute, and it's as dangerous as hell. Car and motorino drivers don't know how to deal with cyclists (I regularly get told to cycle on the pavement or in the non existent bike lanes), I'd hate to guess how many people drive whilst using their phones, you might as well remove lights and indicators from the cars they are used so little, and there are so many double (or triple) parked cars that you really do need eyes in the back of your head. Cars park on crossings, so you can't see people trying to cross, I see people shoot red lighst every day (I kid you not). It's chaos out there.
After being hit from behind last year (and no, the car driver didn't stop), I now ride with a Cycliq front and back. I have 3 rear lights, 2 front lights. If I'm late for what ever reason my girlfriend always fears the worst, and I can't blame her.
Come and visit – yes, it's beautiful, but it's not yet a cycling city (unfortunately).
You're right, Sean
But this video is wrong from every point! (except the Stelbel bike, though)
I'd agree with that – I would love an SB/03…..
I couldn't agree more, I was stunned with the low traffic and this is because it was probably in the lowest of season in the lowest of traffic time… I took up an apartment for 3 weeks in Rome off Trastavere just behind the hill top. Mu first thought was how I could get around town on a bike. I will force my way through traffic no problem on a bike and let me tell ya, I walked for 3 weeks…Appreciate the video though, by the way the Rome bike share program lasted a good 2 weeks before it was dismantled.

China's shift in child policy could benefit Northern Ireland economy
Northern Ireland could receive an export boost from China's decision to relax its one-child policy, it has been claimed.
China introduced the policy of restricting families to just one child in 1979 to rein in population growth.
But recent economic travails for China - and its increasingly elderly population - have prompted a change of heart.
A report by the Office for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) forecast that China's ageing population could see it overtaken by India and Indonesia as the most rapidly growing non-OECD economy by 2020. Wayne Horwood, managing director of corporate finance advisors HNH, said the decision could have knock-on benefits for Northern Ireland.
"Whilst the news of this policy shift may, at first glance, appear to be of little consequence to Northern Ireland, it is worth noting that our manufacturing exports to China have increased by 58% over the past four years.
"The Chinese market is, and will continue to be, a key source of economic growth in Northern Ireland and the long-term impact of an increasing working age population in China should provide a further export stimulus.
"A growing population in China should encourage Northern Ireland companies to continue looking east for growth opportunities across a wide range of sectors."
He added: "Confidence in the markets can only be good for the global economy and Northern Ireland."

Colorado vs UW NCAA Football Odds
The Washington Huskies may have temporarily lost their mojo with three straight losses to the Stanford Cardinal, Oregon Ducks and Arizona State Sun Devils, but a blowout win over the California Golden Bears on Oct. 26 helped restore order in Seattle.
Colorado (3-5, 0-5 Pac-12) @ Washington (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12)
Saturday, Nov. 9 8:00 PM ET @ Husky Stadium
Spread: Washington -28
ATS Matchup Stats | Betting Insight!
Check out our in-house Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray's COLLEGE FOOTBALL Picks!
As for the Colorado Buffaloes, they're coming off of two straight losses, but what's even more concerning is that they've dropped five of their last six contests—the only win coming against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers.
The Colorado Buffaloes are desperate for a Pac-12 victory. They're 0-5 in conference competition, and they're going to need an impressive showing in Week 11 if they hope to come away triumphant against the Washington Huskies on the road.

At this point, there's little you can say to cheer up fans in Boulder, Colo. Their passing game is 54th in the nation, which puts them in the middle of the road, but their rushing game has only been good enough to barely crack the top 100.
They're not putting the ball in the end zone (78th in the FBS in scoring) and they're certainly not stopping their opponents from scoring (117th in the nation in points allowed).
The truth is that Washington is a huge favorite, and it is a huge favorite for a reason.
[soliloquy id="82219″]
A Colorado win is as unlikely as it comes, so the question is simply, can the Huskies cover the enormous spread they've been given entering the competition?
At this point in the year, the Huskies are winning their games by an average point margin of 10.9 points per contest. That number hardly screams for a 28-point victory (the spread in this matchup), but then again, Washington did manage to take down the California Golden Bears 41-17 in their last outing.
Against Cal, Bishop Sankey and Keith Price led the way. Price threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns, while Sankey tallied a career high in rushing yards with 241 on the night—not to mention two scores of his own.
These two had a field day against a broken Cal defense, and they'll look to do the same to a Colorado team that is giving up more than 38 points per game.
Not only is Colorado 1-4 straight up in its last five matchups with Washington, it is 1-4 ATS as well. The Huskies are 6-1 SU in their last seven games at home, but they're also 8-2 ATS in their last 10 at Husky Stadium.
All signs point to a victory for the home team, and taking it one step further, all signs point to a blowout. The Huskies are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 versus a team with a losing record, and the Buffaloes are a lowly 6-17 ATS in their last 23 against winning programs.
Prediction: Washington 47 – Colorado 14

Two of the UFC's veterans with long tenure could be meeting at UFC 200 in July. Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Lauzon is apparently in the works for the card. It's important to note that while it's being reported by MMAFighting.com, the UFC hasn't yet made any official announcement.
VendettaFighter.com was the first to report the news of the potential bout. Lauzon (25-11) is coming off a loss to Evan Dunham at the TUF 22 Finale in December and Sanchez (26-8) most recently defeated Jim Miller at UFC 196 in a unanimous decision as he returned to the lightweight division.
As you may recall, the two lightweights were originally scheduled to meet at UFC 180, but both fighters suffered injuries which forced the UFC promotion to scrap the fight.
UFC 200 is set for the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 9th. While the promotion has yet to officially announce any of the fights for the monster event, Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 2, Cain Velasquez vs Travis Browne, Johny Hendricks vs Kelvin Gastelum, and Gegard Mousasi vs Derek Brunson are all rumored to be on the card.
What do you think?
Will UFC 200 be as massive of a success as the UFC hopes?

The daughter of a good friend of mine deals in vintage clothing and accessories. She came across a bag similar to this one, sent it to me and said, "Colonel, you have to make a bag like this." So, I did. The first one out of our workshop went to my buddy, Holly, in North Carolina, to reward her keen eye for classic design.
The Drifter seems to fill a niche in our line of ladies bags. Its crescent shape and slightly slouchy posture is perfect for our soft, dry-milled leather. The vintage bag was born in the 1960's before the advent of smart phones and the like, so I updated the design with two pockets on the outside front.
Strap adjusts from 21" to 24". Pigskin lining. Nickel finish hardware. Zippered top. 9.25"H. 13.5" at widest point. Available in Vintage Brown or Black.
Made in the Col. Littleton Workshop.

We are pleased to announce that the 2011 Dependable Systems and Networks Symposium (DSN 2011) will again feature "Birds of a Feather" sessions
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions provide a gathering place and discussion forum for those interested in the same issues and concepts. BoFs can be organized for sharing ideas on specific topics, narrow or broad.
These are not workshops or sessions where people present papers, but open, "brainstorming" forums for attendees who want to get together with others to share their current interests, goals, technology, environment, or backgrounds.
BoFs are popular because of their interactive and flexible format and the fact that they offer attendees and technology experts an opportunity to interact at a peer level.
The purpose of this call is to ask you to propose topics around which a community of interested researchers could coalesce at DSN. We are explicitly not looking for marketing or recruiting sessions; however, commercial entities are encouraged to propose sessions on current technical issues.
Topics will be evaluated on the basis of their promise to engage a significant number of the conferences participants in a fruitful discussion. Possibilities include, but are not limited to:
If you want to organize and run a Birds of a Feather session, please send me a proposal by April 15th.

Palo Alto gave Tri-Valley all it could handle in Friday night's NorCal Babe Ruth League 14-year-old all-stars tournament in Woodland, but came up just short. Palo Alto lost to Tri-Valley 4-3 on a two-out base hit in the bottom of the ninth. Palo Alto needed to defeat Tri-Valley to force a winner-take-all game for the NorCal title.
"I have no complaints about this team," Palo Alto manager Rick Farr said. "Everyone from one to 13 contributed. They rode two to three hours each way five days in a row. They played their hearts out."
Kyle Pruhsmeier gave Palo Alto a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning when he singled in Tony Masetti. Palo Alto had the bases loaded with one out, but couldn't tack on more runs. Tri-Valley tied the game in the bottom of the eighth on a two-out triple and a wild pitch.
"It was a 55-foot curveball," Farr said. "Catcher had no chance."
Palo Alto scored a run in the third inning when Masetti singled in Shane Wallace. Tim Goode singled in Pruhsmeier in the fourth inning for a 2-0 Palo Alto edge. Tri-Valley scored a run in the bottom of the fourth and a run in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game.
Dominic Cacchione pitched the bulk of the game, quieting the Tri-Valley bats. Dave Clarke pitched the final 1 2/3 innings, taking the hard-luck loss.
"Dominic pitched a whale of a game," Farr said. "Clarke deserved better."
Tri-Valley has a chance to sweep the NorCal tournaments, having won at the 14-year-old and 13-year-old level. The 15-year-old all-stars start today at the Belmont Sports Complex with Palo Alto and Tri-Valley meeting at 10 a.m.

The Silky Terrier was originally developed in Australia and he exemplifies very well the expression "a small dog with a big personality". The average height of a Silky Terrier is 9 inches to 10 inches weighing about 8 to 10 pounds. They have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years.
Originally developed in Australia as a vermin exterminator the Silky Terrier makes a loving family companion. He is very affectionate, friendly and devoted to his master and his family and will always do all his best to entertain and please them. Considering the fact that he is a small dog with a big personality sometime he can be quite stubborn. The Silky Terrier loves all the energy demanding activities like fly-ball, Frisbee, running, swimming and many others. If he is left alone more than a few hours a day he can become bored and might become very loud and destructive. The Silky Terrier is a great watchdog because he is very reserved with strangers and will always let you know when a stranger is approaching your property. He is known to behave well when children are around but very small children should always be well supervised when they encounter any type of dog breed because they might have the tendency to tease and no dog will accept that. Obedience training and early socialization are very important in this case and can make a big difference if you want to have an obedient dog.
Silky Terrier Training:
Silky Terrier is a very intelligent dog breed. They can learn new commands very quickly which makes them quite easy to train. Usually they enjoy any type of activity so training will not be a problem for them. In fact it can be something that they will really enjoy.
Silky Terrier Shedding:
Shedding should not concern you at all if you plan to buy this type of dog breed. In fact you will never find a hair in your house because the Silky Terrier is not a type of dog breed that sheds hair.
Silky Terrier Grooming:
The Silky Terrier, like many other dog breeds, need daily exercise. Don't worry, those needs can be met quite easy with simple walks or playing some fun games. His coat needs to be shaped two or three months and proper brushing should be done every now and then.
Silky Terrier History:
The Silky Terrier was originally developed in the 1890s and was mainly used as a vermin exterminator even though nowadays he is mostly used as a family companion. He was obtained by crossing the imported Yorkshire Terrier with the native Australian Terrier.

Full Disclosure and Coffee & Pie Now Available on Reelhouse VOD
by Douglas on Apr.17, 2014, under Projects
I'm excited to be launching many of my very best films on the VOD platform Reelhouse–starting with my two best-known short films Full Disclosure and Coffee & Pie.
Very soon I'll be writing more about the release, why I chose this platform, and how other filmmakers can do the same thing. For now, I hope you enjoy the films. More are coming including my brand new comedy short film Tape Recorder. (continue reading…)
Coffee and Pie Goes Worldwide
by Douglas on Aug.23, 2013, under Projects
People have been asking me how they can get my short film Coffee and Pie. Well I'm very pleased to announce that after countless festivals, several awards, and some really great nominations—like the 2012 Iris Prize—Coffee and Pie is now available to watch on mobile devices via the mobile app Worldwide Movie Theater.
Coffee and Pie is an anti-romantic comedy—a funny look at the end of a relationship that takes a unique turn. The film has strong and hilarious performances by Amy Seimetz, Sophia Takal, and Karen Chamberlain. I may be a bit partial, but I think it's a must-watch short film.
A new way to watch short films
The Worldwide mobile app is also a pretty cool way to watch movies on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. You can download the free app (iOS version | Android version) and use it to preview the first few minutes of any of the films.
To watch a film you simply pay $1.99 for each "time zone" (Western, Mountain, Central, Eastern) and you can watch all the films in that time zone group. That's over 20 films you can watch in the Eastern time zone for less than two bucks. The Western time zone has seven. So that's a lot of bang for your two bucks!
Edit by Mail
by Douglas on Feb.19, 2011, under Filmmaking
I'm working on two big editing projects at the moment and for me they're a great reminder of how far the technology of editing has advanced in recent years, but also what may have been lost along the way. Editor Travis Bleen, writer-producer Andrew Stoneham, and I have just locked the cut on our new short film Coffee & Pie just in time to do the sound and color correction for our premiere in about two weeks at the Bermuda International Film Festival. And of course, post-production continues on Divergence with editor Tony Randel, assistant editor Mike Canon, and my co-creator Dan Southworth.
The way I work on most editing projects has changed drastically in the past few years. Once upon a time, editors literally cut and spliced strips of film, so they had to be in a room where the film was. There was no duplicate set somewhere else for another editor or the director to muck around with. The editing happened in the room and it was generally a two-person job because while one was cutting and splicing, the other was going and looking for the right piece of film.
Thank goodness those days are over. (continue reading…)
Beware of Backblog
by Douglas on Jan.17, 2011, under Uncategorized
Backblog bak' blôg n.
1. an accumulation of unwritten blog posts
2. a blog that is deeply out of date.
v.intr being in a condition of backblog.
"The last couple months I've been so slammed with work, my poor site is in serious backblog."
I see a lot of backblog going on right now around the web. I don't know if people have lost some of the blog fever or if they're just busy making a living in tough times.
My acute case of backblog is due to a whole lotta projects all demanding my time. But of course, that's when I need to blog the most. So here's the quick overview of what I've been up to. I hope to catch up with more info on each of these projects shortly:
- Two short documentaries I made for MTV have finally hit the web as part of $5 Cover: Seattle. Look for the "Seattle Scene/B-Side" Videos "Tube Addiction/Verellen Amps" and "Vortex." You can watch them on the MTV site or in higher quality here.
- My family film, The No-Sit List (staring Danny Trejo, Rico Rodriguez, Trenton Rogers, and Dee Wallace Stone) is about to be released on DVD (street date: March 8, 2011) by Phase 4 Films, retitled Babysitters Beware.
- Another family film I wrote is preparing to go into production in a month.
- I directed the short film Coffee & Pie in New York, and just learned of its first festival acceptance.
- My co-creator Dan Southworth and I (along with a truly amazing nano-crew) shot the first several episodes of our action/sci-fi web series Divergence. We're now winding our way through post.
There's some other bric-a-brac but that'll hold until I get some more photos, links, and updates uploaded on these projects.
So, sorry about the delay. I'm still breathing, still dedicated to the blog. More info, videos, and articles are on the way.

Fowl bucks prank goes wrong0:31
Two brothers have been fined after a bucks party prank, involving live chickens, backfires.
TWO brothers have been fined after they released six chickens in a drunken prank at a bucks party.
English lads Craig Barnett, 23, and his brother Bradley, 21, kept the live hens in boxes in the back of a car for more than five hours while members of the bucks party headed to the greyhound races, the UK Telegraph reports.
Upon returning from the party, the two men can be seen on CCTV taking the animals into a hotel room. They reportedly set the chickens free in the groom-to-be's bathroom as a joke.
CCTV then shows other revellers, who found the birds making a mess after returning to the hotel in the early hours of the morning, carrying them down to the carpark at 3.40am.
But the fowl joke backfired after two chickens ended up dead, with one slaughtered by a fox, and two others discovered in a terrified state by the RSPCA.
The remaining pair have not been seen since.
Prosecutor Matthew Knight said: "Using animals for the purposes of entertainment or a prank has long been a criminal offence and socially unacceptable in this country."
The brothers' lawyer Nigel Ley said the men thought it was an acceptable thing to do at the time, but "now realise what a stupid thing this was. It was done in a moment of absolute stupidity".
"They assumed if the chickens were left in a hotel room with the freedom to fly around they would be quite happy."
The comedic duo were charged with animal cruelty over the July 2011 incident and have been fined $A428 in total.

I think simple/low fares, aka Everyday Low Prices, require changes to the whole business model to become effective.
Make 90% of tickets sold non-refundable...
Really try to have most bookings occur online or through your own res center
Get rid of huge sales forces and corporate discounts
excessive corporate discounts and more unecessary layers of management
Move away from mileage based, no expiration loyalty programs
I think the next step in making legacy carriers leaner revolves on simplifying everything as much as possible. And as you can see, distribution, pricing, and loyalty programs are inextricably linked to each other.

Fang: The Weeping Reaper Graphic Novel
Fang: The Weeping Reaper Graphic Novel
Forget what you know about the vampire genre. Fang hunts the hunters. An action horror comic of redemption, revenge and self discovery.
Forget what you know about the vampire genre. Fang hunts the hunters. An action horror comic of redemption, revenge and self discovery. Read more
The Story:
Both revered and feared by his fellow creatures of the night, Fang is the champion of an evil empire. Forget what you know about the vampire genre. Fang hunts the hunters. "FANG" is full of ghouls, gunplay and gore. Fang is an action horror comic of redemption, revenge and self discovery. It's John Woo's the Killer meets Blade with a bit of Golden Child and Big Trouble in Little China thrown in for good measure. In Vampire lore, there's a legend of an assassin whose sole purpose is to murder vampire hunters. He's sometimes called the Weeping Reaper or the Great Reluctant Evil. Our story centers on "Lo Fang", the chief assassin of the Kiang-Shi (Chinese Vampire) Empire. Dressed in white designer suits and trench coat, Fang is as stylish as he is deadly. Armed with a pair of AR-90 hand cannons and a Chinese broad sword, he travels the world stalking vampire hunters under the reign of the Kiang-Shi Empress.
In his natural life, Lo Fang was a monk who fought against the Kiang Shi* Infestation of China. Using his mastership of Kung Fu, he and his monks were able to repel the undead onslaught. This greatly angered the Kiang-Shi empress whose sole desire was to rule the world of man. She had Fang captured, and personally turned him into one of her kind. Upon awakening, Fang found that his body had been covered with a tattoo resembling the Vampire Empress. With the mystical tattoo etched in his skin Fang was now under the Empress' complete control. Fang became her chief assassin, using the prowess he once used to destroy the Kiang-Shi to now dispose of Vampire Hunters around the world. Though he was Kiang-Shi, and the consumption of blood was essential to his survival, Fang begged to never force him to feed upon an unarmed or innocent victim. The empress granted his wish, and thus The Legend of the Weeping Reaper was born.
After a millennia of waiting, as prophesied, a weapon capable of tipping the balance has appeared. In an ashram in California, monks guard the one thing capable of halting the Kiang-Shi Empress's conquest of Earth. She assigns Fang the task of finding the weapon and destroying it. Fang regrettably undergoes his mission.
Fang embarks on his mission to find the weapon, though the "weapon" may not be what he, or anyone else, imagined.
NOW AVAILABLE! A new print, from artist Shawna Mills! This print will be available through the Childe Level $50 package, or any level which contains a print to choose from! Check it out!
The Story behind the story:
I first met David Atchison through a friend of mine back in the early 2000's. As creators, and fans of the same types of comics and films, we quickly became friends. I eventually moved to Atlanta from New York where David was based. We became roommates, and almost immediately began kicking ideas around. Through this process, David told me a story about a story he started but never went anywhere with. It needed an artist to come to life. I looked at it, and immediately I knew this was the project for me. Right away, I started on designs, and we kicked around some more ideas and tightened the story. I designed a logo, started working on pages, and then I had to find work to pay bills, 'cause that's important.
Who am I?:
Gustavo Vazquez is an artist, producer, actor and traveler raised in Brooklyn who loves the art of storytelling. A self-taught illustrator, he started his career as a comic book artist for Marvel, DC and other comic book companies, as well as drawing storyboards for animation, commercials and music videos. He continues to work as an illustrator and amateur photographer, while also creating and developing projects for Film and Television. Django is also a fan of WWE professional wrestling.
and David?:
David Atchison is a freelance writer & producer whose work has appeared in a variety of mediums. He co-created the Occult Crimes Taskforce with actress Rosario Dawson and illustrator Tony Shasteen. The OCT is currently in development for television with Valhalla Entertainment and the A&E Network. He penned the Method Man Graphic Novel for the Hip Hop mainstay and Grand Central Publishing. Atchison also co-wrote True Believer, a back door pilot for NBC/ Universal's SyFy Channel. Other multimedia projects include Singularity for Activision Games and the Warriors Graphic Novel Adaptation for Paramount Pictures/ Dabel Brothers Pro. In 2010, Atchison accepted a position with the 20th Century Fox Film Entertainment Story Department where he helps develop films.
There's also our colorist, Ross Campbell:
Ross A. Campbell is a debuting comic book colorist born in Scotland and educated in France. Currently working on Dynamite's ongoing comic book adaptation of Paizo's award-winning RPG Pathfinder, he also helps out with Jim Zub's Skullkickers and jumps on board any project Gus throws his way. Other clients of notable repute are Image Comics and Udon. Also a passable all-round artist, he dabbles in full illustration, traditional and digital for a hobby and is also a budding musician. Socially awkward unless drunk.
Now, some more about Fang...
Fang got put to the side for a while. Life happened, I got some other work that could pay the bills, and eventually Fang turned into something akin to a cold case file. Something that had to sit for a while until we (really, me) had the time to come back to it. I moved to CA, and after a few unsuccessful tries to wake Fang up from his slumber, back it went into the file. Life went on while Fang slept.
That is, until a few months ago. I was going through some paperwork, and came across a couple of old drawings for a few cover ideas I had for Fang. That perked me up a little. I had been stagnant in my drawing, and was a little tired of working for other people. I decided to go through all my papers and artwork, and dig up every little thing I had done for Fang, and breathe some fresh life into it. I started by reworking a short story I had asked David to write a couple years back to introduce the character. I originally wanted to showcase this story at conventions, and get some interest back into it.
I figured I had something, as some old friends I ran into started asking about Fang. "Hey, man. Whatever happened to that vampire project you were working on?". This reignited the flame, and confirmed that there was still interest in a cool, different vampire story. It was time to reawaken the Weeping Reaper!
So, without telling anyone, including David, I started working on some pages and designs again. I need to really get back into doing this, for real this time, with the idea that I was going to get it done, no matter what. This was my chance to really do something I was passionate about, and show the world, (or at least a few hundred comic book fans) what I was about. What I had trained this twenty-plus years for. I want to release Fang out into the world and wreak some havoc! And here we are.
So, there you have it. The story behind the story. Now, let's get to the good stuff...
The Goal:
The nitty gritty. The script is finished, designs are done, and the graphic novel is about a third of the way sketched out, but there's still along way to go to get this book done and into your hands. As this campaign is going, I am trying to finish sketching out the rest of the pages so that when the campaign is just about done, I can get to drawing the pages right away.
I've set upon this journey several times now, but have always been stopped in my tracks due to a lack of funding. I end up stopping production to do other jobs and by the time I'm done, the momentum is gone. I'm trying to end that trend. It's also gone through several phases of design and ideas on how to make this book a different experience than most comics out there. I've finally figured it out. What I need now is the support of fans and friends (and anyone else who is interested in breathing life into a fun project) to make sure I can create the art for the book and get it out and printed. If I can achieve my Kickstarter goal, I will be able to share this epic story with whoever is interested and invested. This is a project that's been years in the making, and I am so proud to finally have the opportunity to share it with you.
That's where Kickstarter, and you, come in! I know I'm asking a lot by asking you to spend your hard earned money on something that isn't yet tangible. What you're buying into is a dream and a promise. A dream that I've had for many years now. To work on my very own project, on a character I own and helped develop. This is your chance to invest in something that will give back to the creators. The dream of the every man. I also said you were buying into a promise. The promise is to get the best work I've ever produced in my long career. I strive to get better and better each time I work, but this time I've got a little extra passion in this project. I've worked on making it the best I can make it, and I feel at this point that I've either got to do it, or I've got to do something else. And I really want to do this.
Kickstarter has created a way for me to work on my dream project, and get the interest of people who really want to see it. Real investors. Because you're invested in the project from the ground up, and you really do want to see your investment come to fruition. It allows creators, like me, to be able to work on the project at hand, and not be distracted by outside influences. If this project is successfully funded, the money has to come upfront. It keeps me, the creativity, and the book going. However, and I hate to bring this up, if I don't make my goal, you get your money back, I get nothing, and it's back to the drawing board.
Please note. Some of the incentives are dated April and May of 2014. Issues will be released on approximated dates as follows.
Issue #1 as of October 2013
Issue #2 as of January 2014
Issue #3 as of April 2014.

Those orders that contain multiple items released on different dates, please be patient. If you would like to receive items when they are released, you may be asked to pay extra shipping, unless you can wait until all items are shipped together.
Shipping charges for larger items such as prints, coffee mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, please consult the following when paying for shipping.
Risks and challenges
I've tried to set my goal at a realistic amount to make this project happen. Now I just need to hit that goal.
Wondering where that money will go? Well, as I said, part of it will help me have enough capitol to draw the book, and pay the colorist and letterer to bring my lines to life. Plus, I'm going to need to get those incentives made for you. Printing costs, as well, for the limited run of books I'm going to make for this campaign.
Upon first sight, $40,000 seems like a lot of money. However, Kickstarter campaigns are not straight donations and in reality a campaign costs a lot of time and money to fulfill rewards ordered and manage correspondance. So only part of the money asked for actually goes towards creative production of the book.
Production costs- I am pretty much the entire creative team for the book, and if you break down what funding I'd get for the 96+ pages of full production work I'd create, the rates break down to less than I would get paid elsewhere. Not including funding for the time to adapt, letter, design, create promotional images, covers, pin ups, take care of the Kickstarter, or work on the sketchbook. In short; I am not becoming rich, by any means, with this campaign. My only intent is to be able to work on FANG, and be able to survive through the process!
Kickstarter/Amazon Fees - Roughly 8%-10% of final funding
Taxes - self employed rates apply
Production of books - These rates vary depending on amount ordered, but takes up a nice chunk of funds
Shipping & shipping supply - Another large chunk, depending on amount shipped
Buffer Amount - This should be included in ANY Kickstarter. This includes money aside for dropped pledges, lost books, refund requests, and any errors and miscalculations.
Also, so that you know where I am in the project, I will be posting regular updates here on Kickstarter, and on a Facebook page I've started up specifically for this project. I'll definitely do some write-up updates, post pictures and art, and I will try to do some more videos as I go along. As I do this, I will also be handling the production process, so that when the book is complete, I can get it to you as soon as possible. You will get to be a part of this process and see the magic happen! Should I surpass my goal, depending on the amount, I will add some more incentives, exclusive to this campaign and its investors.
I am focused on Issue 1 of Fang right now because I don't want to keep backers waiting for over a year for the whole series to be completed before they receive their reward. I will keep everyone updated as each issue is finished and the next one started.
How Kickstarter Works...
Kickstarter is unlike regular online ordering experiences in that you are not just buying an item for precise arrival, you are joining me in my personal adventure to complete this project. You'll be with me for both the victories as well as the bumps and difficulties, all culminating in receiving the final product, which I will have given so much to achieve. Kickstarter is more about supporting ideas, people, and projects than it is to receive an item right away. And so you're aware of everything before you join me (and FANG) on this adventure!
Step 1. Create a Kickstarter account, and determine payment method
Step 2. Decide which Reward you'd like, taking special note of any shipping estimates.
Step 3. Wait and see what happens! If the campaign is successful by TBA, then your card will be charged and your reward is secured. If the campaign is unsuccessful, then your card will NOT be charged.
Step 4. (optional ;) ) If you would really like to see this project succeed, then the most helpful thing you could do is help spread the word! Tweets, facebook posts, blog posts, whatever you want to do to help… I would eternally appreciate it!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
