A short first flying phase from feet to hands makes it difficult to create an effective second flying phase from hands to feet. Short undercut first flying phases cause the hands to touch the floor with poor body angles to make a quick arms repulsion into a powerful turn over to the feet. Before bad technical habits get too engrained it is wise to spend time reviewing basic drills. Like this one and many others. / Coaches must train their eyes to catch all kinds of big or small mistakes. In these undercut examples the gymnast shows more turn over power. He is still missing a proper hands placement to block and repulse the floor effectively. Even minor mistakes deserve time and effort to be corrected. Every skill must be refined to the maximum. /Deep squats slow down and diminish the explosive power to begin the back handsprings. Though there are slight personal differences in general the bend in the knees must not even reach a 90 degree angle. /Deep squats and undercuts together weaken the back handspring immensely. Serious basic drill reviews must be a priority. Notice that there is not a second flying phase due to the lack of blocking and arms repulsion.

Orange County Insurance Bad Faith Lawyers
When you spend your hard-earned money on an insurance policy, you assume it will compensate you for a loss.
When you spend your hard-earned money on an insurance policy, you assume it will compensate you for a loss—no matter whether the loss is to your vehicle, your home, many assume they won't be denied disability benefits or life insurance benefits. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out this way. If your claim is denied most people file an appeal. And if the appeal is denied they simply throw up their hands in frustration and give up. It's at these moments where Allen, Flatt, Ballidis & Leslie can help.
Contact us immediately so we can fight this complex battle with you and obtain any damages that may be owed to you. We are a leader in bad faith litigation and have a demonstrated track record to prove it.
Under California law, when your insurance company breaches its duties under its insurance policy, it may be liable for the tort of bad faith. A jury may award compensatory, and in certain cases, punitive damages as a result of the mishandling of insurance claims. A promise of good faith and fair dealing is implied in every insurance policy and this goes beyond mere payment of the loss claimed under the policy.
Punitive Damages
A jury may award punitive damages if they determine an insurance company acted in bad faith or did so with oppression, fraud, or malice and the insurance company may be liable for punitive damages because of the acts of its employees. The California Unfair Claims Practice Act (Insurance Code Section 790.03 (h) contains standards for the investigation and handling of insurance claims. The California
Department of Insurance is responsible for enforcing this statute and related regulations. Please report all your complaints to the Department of Insurance. Not only must they investigate each claim, but every report of infraction is compiled for future reference.
If you believe you are experiencing a situation involving Insurance Bad Faith, we urge you to contact us immediately. Our Insurance Bad Faith attorneys have won over hundreds of million dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients over the past 40 years.

Art and citizenship. Cuban posters. Vintage photos of travel through China. Plus: a new wing at the Huntington Library and a line-up of new shows at the California African American Museum. Here are nine exhibitions and events to check out in the coming week:
"S/Election," at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. Because too much election is never enough, the L.A. Municipal Art Gallery has put together a broad group show that examines issues of citizenship, identity, immigration and criminal justice. The show includes work by such socially and politically minded artists such as Jennifer Moon, Charles Gaines, Olga Koumoundouros and Rubén Ortiz-Torres. Opens today and runs through Jan. 8. 4800 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, lamag.org.
"Becoming America: Highlights from the Jonathan and Karin Fielding Collection," at the Huntington Library. The Huntington has just redone its American art galleries and now features a new expansion by architects at Frederick Fisher and Partners that adds eight rooms for display. Up first will be an exhibition devoted to the Fielding Collection, featuring more than 200 works of 18th and early 19th century American art, including paintings, furnishings and decorative art. While you're at the museum, pop in to see the show "Real American Places: Edward Weston & 'Leaves of Grass,'" which features the portfolio of photographs that Weston made to accompany Walt Whitman's seminal poem. "Becoming America" opens on Saturday and runs indefinitely; Weston runs through March 20. 1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino, huntington.org.
"Black With a Drop of Red: Contemporary Cuban Poster Work," at the Fowler Museum. A group show brings together poster designs by 18 graphic artists who have created broadsides for everything from Cuban cultural happenings to U.S. movies — all in stark shades of white, black and red. Through Jan. 22. 308 Charles E. Young Dr. N., Westwood, Los Angeles, fowler.ucla.edu.
"Ease of Fiction," at the California African American Museum. The museum is debuting an entire slate of new shows, which seems to include a little bit of something for everyone — starting with "Ease of Fiction," a group exhibition that features work by four African artists exploring the fine line between the invented and the real. Also on view is the debut museum exhibition of Los Angeles artist Genevieve Gagnard, whose photographs question notions of blackness and whiteness, and a beguiling room-sized installation by Hank Willis Thomas that recasts the symbols of the Confederate flag in the colors of black nationalism — and projects them in tune with a soundtrack of spoken-word audio. Through Feb. 19. 600 State Dr., Exposition Park, Los Angeles, caamuseum.org.
Jason Revok, "Systems," at Library Street Collective. The graffiti artist known as Revok is exhibiting his first ever works on canvas in a pop-up exhibition in Mid-City that brings together 17 pieces informed by his work on the street. Opens Saturday and runs through Nov. 12. 5428 W. Washington Blvd., lscgallery.com.
"China: Through the Lens of John Thompson," at CSUN Art Galleries. In the late 19th century, photographer and travel writer John Thomson traveled through China, taking plenty of pictures along the way. These are now the subject of an exhibition that showcases his eye as an astute travel photographer. Opens Saturday and runs through Oct. 24. Cal State University Northridge, 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, csun.edu.
In Conversation: Mark Bradford and Naima J. Keith, at the California African American Museum. The L.A. painter, who will be representing the U.S. at the upcoming Venice Biennale, is joining CAAM's new deputy director for a discussion about the role of artists in cultural development, among other topics. Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. 600 State Dr., Exposition Park, Los Angeles, facebook.com and caamuseum.org.
Conversations: Eileen Myles & Jill Soloway, at the Hammer Museum. Poet, novelist and performer Eileen Myles joins the creator of Amazon's "Transparent" for a discussion about ways of representing queerness in literature and mass media. Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood, Los Angeles, hammer.ucla.edu.
"In Real Life: 100 Days of Film and Performance," at the Hammer Museum. This 4 1/2-month program is bringing a series of screenings, performances, film and video to the museum during a remodel. This weekend's program includes a performance by Dan Levenson — which will consist of a three-hour class of his Swiss modernist academy, an institution of his own invention. Through Jan. 25. Check the schedule for events and times. 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood, hammer.ucla.edu.
Abraham Cruzvillegas, "Autoconcanción," at Regen Projects. In his work, the Mexican artist has long riffed on the improvised nature of Latin American informal architecture — so-called "autoconstrucciones." For his second show at Regen, Cruzvillegas is exploring similar territory, though on this occasion, he is employing the backseat of every car he has ever used (a nod to SoCal car culture). These will be affixed to planters bearing plantings from our region. Through Saturday. 6750 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood, regenprojects.com.
James Richards, "Hack the Analog," at Shoshana Wayne Gallery. A series of new paintings play with their structure in pieces that function partially as sculpture and partially as weaving. Through Saturday. Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., B1, Santa Monica, shoshanawayne.com.
Edith Beaucage, "Sequencer, Spectrum, Reverb," at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles. In loose, wild brush strokes, the L.A. artist captures figures in hallucinatory landscapes that evoke a painted rave. Also on view will be an exhibition of photographs and large-scale video by Bryan Zanisnik, a New York-based artist preoccupied by the architecture of monuments and theatrical sets. Through Saturday. 2685 S. La Cienega Blvd., Culver City, luisdejesus.com.
Fran Siegel, "Reconstruction," at ACME. The artist creates elaborate pieces that integrate drawing, cut-outs and collaging to capture the urban environment on a massive scale. In a new series of works going on view at the gallery, Siegel sets her sights on Los Angeles, capturing patterns of migration, settlement and evolution. A new way to see the city that surrounds us. Through Saturday. 6150 Wilshire Blvd., Carthay, Los Angeles, acemlosangeles.com.
Clint Woodside, "Under Cover Cars," at These Days L.A. The artist's first solo exhibitions gathers five years' worth of images chronicling SoCal cars draped in all manner of plastics and tarps. Through Sunday. 118 Winston St., 2nd Floor, downtown Los Angeles, thesedaysla.com.
"Hanne Darboven," at Sprüth Magers. The first solo exhibition devoted to the German conceptualist's work in half a dozen years contains three installations that riff on the nature of time and other concepts through monumental pieces laden with obsessively detailed charts and calendars. This includes work dating to the 1970s (Darboven died in 2009). Through Oct. 29. 5900 Wilshire Blvd., Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles, spruethmagers.com.
Michelle Kingdom, at bG Gallery. Kingdom takes embroidery and gives it a surreal twist, using it to create scenes — a figure hovering over a crowd of faceless women, for example — that are as strange as they are fantastical. Through Oct. 29. Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave., G8A, Santa Monica, santamonica.bgartdealings.com.
"Fort Greene," at Venus. Organized by Adrianne Rubenstein, director of the Canada gallery in New York, the exhibition charts the web of visual and other connections among a group of New York artists. Of particular interest are the enigmatic geometric assemblages of Sarah Braman, the slightly magical paintings of Alex Chaves, the vibrant domestic settings of Bella Foster and a sculpture of John Waters' head by John De Fazio that also doubles as a bong. Heady all around. Through Oct. 29. 601 S. Anderson St., Boyle Heights, venusovermanhattan.com.
Tom Knechtel, "Astrolabe," at Marc Selwyn Fine Art. The artist, known for theatrical pieces that often border on the surreal (think: wrestlers in skirts and humans with bird heads) is unveiling three new paintings as well as a series of intimate new drawings consisting largely of portraiture and self-portraiture — areas that this master draftsman had not previously explored. Through Oct. 29. 9953 S. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, marcselwynfineart.com.
Mira Schor, "War Frieze (1991-1994) and "Power" Frieze (2016), at CB1 Gallery. Schor, the New York-based feminist artist who first made her name in the '70s at the California Institute of the Arts, is back in L.A. with a new selection of paintings that riff on art world politics and the body. A separate space features her historic work "War Frieze," created between 1991 and 1994, a series of panels that, when presented together, run more than 200 feet. Through Oct. 30. 1923 S. Santa Fe Ave., downtown Los Angeles, cb1gallery.com.
"Shift and Fade," at BLAM. A group show features a series of large-scale installations as well as 21 small sculptures, made by artists who often don't work in that medium. The show includes Kio Griffith's intriguing mappings related to a World War II-era battle in the Pacific in which her ancestors fought on opposing sides, as well as the intricate, woven drawings of San Pedro-based artist Fran Siegel. Through Oct. 30. There will be an artist talk with Shana Nys Dambrot on Oct. 30. 1950 S. Santa Fe Ave., downtown Los Angeles, blamprojects.com.
Tom Knechtel, "The Reader of His Own Self," at CB1 Gallery. The Los Angeles artist renowned for rendering fantastically detailed paintings that seem to channel William Blake and Hieronymus Bosch in equal parts is displaying a selection of prints and drawings produced throughout his career — including new works that riff on the personal, such as two prints created especially for the show. The exhibition also serves as a prelude to a show of the artist's paintings that will open at Marc Selwyn in Beverly Hills next week. Opens Saturday at 3 p.m. and runs through Oct. 30. 1923 S. Santa Fe Ave., downtown Los Angeles, cb1gallery.com.
Henry Taylor, at Blum & Poe. The artist's latest solo exhibition features a series of new paintings and sculptures displayed in three unique environments that tackle ideas of class — including a dirt lot and a grassy lawn. As part of the exhibition, he will also be screening a film by friend and collaborator Kahlil Joseph, who last year hypnotized with his installation "Double Conscience" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles. The gallery will also be having a concurrent show of the early sign paintings of Mark Grotjahn. Through Nov. 5. 2727 S. La Cienega Blvd., Culver City, blumandpoe.com.
Marnie Weber, "Chapel of the Moon," at Gavlak Gallery. The Los Angeles artist has created a cast of mythical characters employed in her first feature film — a modern-day fairy tale titled "The Day of Forevermore," which recently screened at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel — and these serve as the source of a new series of multimedia works at the gallery. Expect works that play with fantasy, reality and the mildly satanic. Through Nov. 5. 1034 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood, gavlakgallery.com.

Scott Morrison, the minister of truth
Scott Morrison's abuse of language ties the asylum-seeker debate in Orwellian knots.
In 1988, the British journalist Christopher Hitchens went to Prague. He had one aim: to be the first visiting writer not to mention Franz Kafka. Then he was arrested. When he asked why he was being detained, he was told he didn't need to know. His story ended up mentioning Kafka after all.
Here is a similar exercise: write about the linguistic bastardisation of the Australian refugee debate without referring to George Orwell. You can try, but the facts will get the better of you in the end.

My Approach to Therapy
I am a clinical psychologist licensed by the State of Florida. My practice focuses on individual and marital therapy. From my offices at the Marriage and Family Enrichment Center in Tampa, I offer a variety of appointment times each week.
Committed To A Christian Perspective
My work in therapy is based on the application of principles from the Bible and the field of psychology. I use the truths in Scripture and the truths in psychology to help clients bring about change in their individual lives and relationships. Through therapy, clients can gain understanding in emotional expression, thinking and behavior.
My goal is to guide persons toward emotional and relational health by relying on my personal faith in God, the truths in the Bible and the science of psychology.
I'm an active, directive, cognitive-behavioral therapist. I develop a plan of action for my clients and help them carry it out with homework assignments.
I can manage all aspects of a client's therapy and counseling needs, including psychiatric referral for medication when indicated.
A Depth of Professional Training and Experience
I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. I also hold the Master of Arts degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas.
Beginning in 1982 at the Minirth-Meier Inpatient Clinic in Garland, Texas, I have trained in a number of inpatient hospitals and outpatient counseling centers.
I conducted outpatient individual, marital and group therapy at the Milwaukee Clinic of the Clackamas County Mental Health System in Milwaukee, Oregon.
I completed a one year full-time psychology internship at Philhaven Hospital, a private psychiatric hospital in Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania. During this intensive year of training, I provided treatment for individuals experiencing a broad range of psychological disorders. At Philhaven, I performed both outpatient and inpatient individual, marital, family and group therapy.

I'd like to extend a great big New York City welcome to my very good writing friend, Andrew Richardson from the UK. We've been critique partners since meeting on critters.org six years ago. I hope to finally have the chance to meet him in person when I travel to London for Worldcon in 2014.
Andrew writes a curious mix of supernatural horror and erotic fiction that never fails to terrify me or delight me--and his readers. He's got news about his Next Big Thing to share right now.
Thank you to Carole for inviting me to take part in The Next Big Thing.
What is the title of your next book?
'Dana's Children'. The background is an Irish Celtic myth about a tribe led by the Mother Goddess Dana. Her people were forced to live underground when 'modern' man arrived.
Where did the idea for the book come from?
I've always been fascinated by Celtic myths and legends. The stories are varied, with some being violent, some being romantic, and some fantastical. Most of my books have a Celtic element and I'm sure will provide me with inspiration for years to come.
What genre does your book fall under?
Horror, but it would be very difficult to write a story based on Celtic myth without including a fantasy element, too.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
My heroine has green eyes and long black hair. I think Megan Fox is probably nearest.
My hero is a boy-next-door sort. A younger Tom Cruise would do nicely.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of the book?
Modern day archaeologists uncover a subterranean tribe.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Neither. I sent Dana's Children to a publisher direct, and it was accepted a few days ago – although I prefer not to name publishers until contracts are signed, just in case something goes wrong.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your masterpiece?
Planning took about three months. The first draft took around nine months, followed by something like another six months proofing.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
I've tried to think about this, but failed. I'll go with a couple of films instead, and I think Alien or The Descent are reasonably close.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I was doing some research for a novel about Irish invasion myths, but I wasn't happy with the story so discarded it. I read about Dana's people while doing the research, and thought the concept of a hostile subterranean tribe had possibilities so I went in that direction instead.
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
My Acquisitions Editor liked Dana's Children for a couple of reasons; firstly for the use of Irish folklore in a horror story, and secondly because it has a twist ending.
Who is next to be interviewed?
I'd like to nominate Gianna Bruno and Philip McCormac.
* * *
Andrew Richardson lives in Wiltshire, England, with his wife, teenage son, and a hamster. He is within easy reach of Stonehenge and other historical places whose regal solitude provide a clear mind for working out plot difficulties and story ideas.
Most of Andrew's work falls squarely into the 'horror' genre, but he also enjoys writing some erotica so his characters can have some fun for a change instead of being scared out of their wits.
He has a pathological dislike of laptops, so adopts the old and quaint approach of typing with a desktop, which at least has a screen big enough to avoid the need to squint.
Andrew has a background in archaeology and has worked in several trenches. It's not really a surprise that most of his work reflects this interest and experience, even if it's as peripheral as his characters living the university lifestyle.
When he's not writing or working as a science administrator Andrew follows Aldershot Town Football Club and takes long walks over rugged countryside.

SideBySide Medical App
Objective: In three weeks, create a mobile app that solves a real-life problem for the campus or your community.
App: SideBySide (SBS) is a mobile health and communication app that updates concerned family, friends, and/or caretakers about the health and well-being of their loved ones. The main goal of the app is to provide a platform where users can create a personal profile for a patient: communicate their health-status, share appointments, schedule visitations, and stay connected.
A problem in today's society is the ability to communicate and update the statuses of a loved one's health accurately and with minimal repetition. When a loved one is constantly in and out of hospitals, it is difficult to inform others of the patient's current medical status. SBS will help people remain side by side with their ailed loved ones.
Apps on the market today are focused on health and fitness; often diet and nutrition trackers, weight loss assistants and workout information. Apps that do act as organizers and access points for medical records tend to be personalized and private, solely for keeping track of bare medical information like medical appointments and medications.
Original Entry: https://portfolium.com/entry/sidebyside-csun-appjam-2016-submission
This app design was submitted for California State University, Northridge's AppJam 2016 contest and won the Popular Vote.

I've been through Glorantha. on a horse with no name, I'd like to see my clan reign,
In Glorantha, you need to use your brain, cos there's lots of folk there to give you some pain, la la la la.
Yes, I'm referencing probably one of the least grammatical pop songs of all time, and I'm doing it to celebrate the release of a truly awesome, very literate, and absolutely staggering new game.
As anyone who's played King of dragon pass will know, Glorantha is a magical world where the gods hold sway, where spirits have power to influence events and where dragons, trolls and elves are dangerous and unpredictable enemies, where even solidarity with human neighbors is hard in a world of shifting alliances, complex politics and ever changing events.
Asharp's new game lets you return to Glorantha, but this time your not going to guiding the fates of the Orlanthi, the people of the storm father, but of their bitterest enemies, enemies who it turns out have just as rich a culture, tradition and set of clans s the Orlanthi themselves.
Six ages, ride like the wind is the first of a planned set of six games, which sees you manage your clan, trade, play politics, battle your enemies and complete magic rituals. With the same awesome accessibility fixes as king of dragon pass, plus a newly revamped exploration system to work more completely with voiceover, its time to journey into the realm of the gods once again.
to find out more you can visit https://sixages.com/ and of course don't forget This topic in the new releases room for your comments and commiserations.
Old friends are also getting the update treatment though. Crazy party everyone's favourite online adventure arcade battle card awesomeness (well not that there are many of those around but its a good game), has been updated to beta 59 with some new battlecard fixes, and in particular, some extra minigames and a hole new world, and no I'm not talking about Aladdin.
As usual feel free to share thoughts in Yonder topic
Happy partying, and riding, and things.
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

I love pasta – perhaps a little too much! Having pasta in my home has been a weekly ritual and to be honest, I am okay with that. Pasta is one of many food items that I regularly stock my pantry with because it's so versatile and helps me create different dishes. Aside from also being budget friendly, it's very easy to make – just boil water and let the pasta cook. Easy right? If you need ideas for a pasta dish other than the common spaghetti and tomato sauce, try this orzo dish.
Orzo is a short-cut pasta that can often times be mistaken for rice because of its grain-like appearance. A good thing about orzo is that it's very versatile. You can add it to soups and salads, have it as a hot or cold dish, or use it as a main dish for your meal. There really is no wrong way of having orzo.
A nutritional benefit of orzo is that it's high in thiamin, a B vitamin that is involved in metabolizing carbohydrates, involved in our nervous system, and even our muscle function. Because it's used in many different functions in our bodies, it's important we get adequate amounts. You can find thiamin in many other food sources, such as legumes, whole grain cereals, and rice. About ¼ cup of dry, uncooked orzo provides roughly 30 – 35% of your daily value.
For this recipe, I used tomatoes and a green bell pepper as the vegetables – mainly because that's what I had in my fridge. Feel free to use your favorite vegetables, fresh, frozen or roasted. I'm sure it will come out just as tasty!
Simple Veggie Orzo
Servings: 5 - 6
Total Time: 20 - 30 minutes
Meal Type: Lunch or Dinner (side dish)
- 1.25 cups of orzo
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ onion, chopped
- 1 garlic, minced
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tsp basil
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp. vegan shredded cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper
In a large pot, bring water to boil and add the orzo. Cook for about 8 – 10 minutes or until orzo is cooked. Remove from heat and drain in a colander.
Chop all vegetables (you may also do this while orzo is cooking to save time)
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat and add onion and garlic. Stir until fragrant.
Add tomatoes, bell pepper, basil, paprika and salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 5 - 8 minutes or until vegetables have soften.
Add drained orzo and vegan cheese (optional) to the saucepan and mix well.
Serve as a side dish with your favorite protein of choice and enjoy!

Fashion Friday | What Should Mom Wear? | Massachusetts Family Photographer/
The kids' clothing is easy because they fit into almost any style, and if their outfit is clean, it's almost a guarantee that they look cute. Dad will probably wear his "nice" outfit of khakis, the shirt you tell him to wear, and a good pair of shoes. So, he's all set. But, what about you? What should mom wear for the photoshoot? A couple "of course" tips:
- Wear something that you feel comfortable wearing. If you're never going to wear it again, it's probably not something you want to wear in your photos.
- Try everything on before the shoot, and I mean everything! Socks, bra, jewelry. These photos will be on your walls for a while so you want to love the way you look every time you see them.
- Dress for the environment. While hemp is great, that's not what I'm talking about here. Basically, keep the heels at home if we're having a beach session. If we'll be shooting in a field, a long flowing dress would look great!
A few "oh, yeah, good idea" tips:
- Accentuate what you love (if you love your collarbones, wear a v-neck shirt and your favorite necklace to help draw attention to them).
- Layers rule.
- If something gets wrinkled easily, don't wear it.
- Don't forget about your fingernails.
- Color pop is key.
- Accessories can make or break your outfit.
And now, onto a few visual ideas so you can start shopping!
I think this would be perfect for those field photoshoots at sunset:
I can just picture this one in a few photos where mom and dad sneak off for a few romantic shots:
This one is a little more casual, and I can just picture a little girl wearing a coordinating dress for some cherished mommy/daughter images. Kick off the shoes, and I think it would work on the beach, too:
And, finally, if your jeans are your favorite comfy clothes, I think this is a great way to dress them up for photos:
I hope these ideas get your fashionista juices flowing. As always, if you have any questions about what to wear on your photo shoot with me, I'm more than happy to help. Happy Friday!!!

Thank You to Everyone Who Helped us Reach — AND SURPASS — Our Goal!
Kickstarter has closed, but you can STILL BE INVOLVED! Choose your reward and visit our website to DONATE!
Zeppelins. Rockets. Steam-powered robots. It's 1876, and Cade Ballard is trying to get to Mars…
Cowboys & Engines is an ambitious steampunk adventure that follows Cade Ballard (Richard Hatch), the war-weary former ambassador from the nation of Texas as he meets Guinivere Wheeler (Libby Letlow), a woman who proves to be as dangerous as she is charming. When they encounter Professor Nicholas Timéon (Walter Koenig), and learn that his temporal engine, a machine with incredible destructive power, has been stolen by would-be conqueror Dr. Clay (Malcolm McDowell), Cade and Guinivere set off to save San Francisco from total destruction.
This film is a labor of love, and an attempt to create something completely original and visually stunning. The movie will be something we can all be proud of; a fun, exciting ride that never becomes silly or tongue-in-cheek. The script is extremely tight, with sharp dialogue and great characters. The cast is first-rate, and though the creative professionals behind the camera might not be household names, they're a respected team capable of working miracles.
Hollywood has failed miserably in its attempts to bring steampunk to the screen; we're going to do it right. Cowboys & Engines is a festival piece that will redefine steampunk for the world at large as a way of re-imagining fantasy adventure.
It was really important to us that the world of Cowboys & Engines feel very real. The characters have human flaws, goals and motivations. The machines are designed as if they really work, with everything carefully executed to be the perfect balance between form and function. The history makes sense, and gives this world a backbone that runs throughout the narrative.
We wanted the 1876 of Cowboys & Engines to feel like it isn't our world… but it could be.
Walter Koenig — Actor, director, screenwriter, novelist, acting professor, and comic book creator; Walter Koenig's career has spanned nearly five decades, touching every corner of the entertainment industry. While he is best known and loved for his role as Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series and the first seven films, he was also a fan favorite in his appearances on Babylon 5 as Psi Cop Alfred Bester.
Richard Hatch — Although he starred in the show as Lieutenant Apollo for only one season, television actor Richard Hatch became the ambassador of cult sci-fi series Battlestar: Galactica. After years of trying to resurrect interest in the idea, through novels and a self-produced short film, Hatch was rewarded with a recurring part as Tom Zarek, President Rosslyn's counterpart on the show's incredibly popular Sci-Fi Channel reboot.
Libby Letlow — Libby Letlow began her professional acting career as series regular Patsy on the television series Masked Rider. Since then, she's filled different roles in a variety of film and stage projects, including producing the indie film Maro, appearing as Lady Macbeth at the Glendale Theater Guild, and working as the lead puppeteer in DOMA Theatre Company's insanely popular Los Angeles run of Avenue Q.
Malcolm McDowell — You know him as Alex in A Clockwork Orange, H.G. Wells in Time After Time, and Soran in Star Trek: Generations. Now Malcolm freakin' McDowell will be playing Dr. Clay!
We aren't hiding the fact that many of us who are working behind the camera to bring Cowboys & Engines to life have risen to the top of the adult film industry. Our director and one of our producers have both won the most prestigious awards and accolades that business has to offer. It certainly isn't a secret, but it's also nothing to do with this project in any way.
Cowboys & Engines is an attempt to create something truly amazing. A dynamic, entertaining work of art for its own sake. A film that demonstrates without compromise that the people making it, irrespective of their professional backgrounds, are artists capable of working far beyond the narrow constraints of public expectation.
We're filmmakers. And this movie is going to rock.
- Mike Cabana, Executive Producer
- Melissa Kimbro, Executive Producer
- Bryn Pryor, Writer & Director
- James Deen, Producer
- Charles Mead, Producer
- Hollywood Heard, Director of Photography
- Ryan Carter, VFX Supervisor
For more info on the cast, crew & film, check out the Cowboys & Engines website.
A film this ambitious takes an incredible amount of time, work, and (of course) money. With civil war-era reanimated dead robot soldiers, massive battle zeppelins, 15-story Victorian rockets, mechanical horses, a machine that warps time and a cast in the dozens, we can't make this film by grabbing costumes from the attic and putting on a show in the old barn.
In a film like this, almost nothing is off the rack. Every piece of wardrobe has to be customized, every prop altered, and every setting dressed in a way that suggests a familiar – but different – 1876. And, of course, what we can't build has to come to life in the computer. Reaching our goal will allow us to create that world, but first we have to get there!
To lure you into helping us fulfill our vision, we've assembled some of the most remarkable rewards packages ever seen on Kickstarter, with more goodies, and more opportunity to actually participate in the film, than have ever been seen on Kickstarter.
These are some of the unique items available:
• THE COMIC-BOOK ONE-SHEET — Popular comic book artist Satine Phoenix will be creating an original piece depicting the main characters in a "comic book" rendering. The hardcopies of this poster will only be available here.
• MAP OF THE GREATER AMERICAS — The North America of Cowboys & Engines is home to five nations, three of which have been at war for nearly two decades. This gorgeous poster depicts the Greater Americas of our alternate 1876, and shows each character's journey during the course of the film.
• THE WORLD THAT NEVER WAS: THE ALTERNATE HISTORY OF COWBOYS & ENGINES — We've written a short history of this world, detailing the alternate timeline and how events changed to create our era of anachronism. This softcover edition is a Kickstarter-only printing.
• PRESS KIT — Our complete pressbook with photos, productions notes, headshots, cast & crew bios and more. We're printing these for promotional purposes, and to hand out at screenings and festivals. The only place you can get them directly is Kickstarter.
• ORIGINAL PROPS & WARDROBE — From goggles to guns to Guinivere's mechanical horse, we'll be making a limited number of original props, set decorations and wardrobe pieces available to our Kickstarter supporters. These will be available on a first-come, first served basis, so the sooner you jump in, the more choices you have.
• POKER NIGHT & GAME NIGHT — Come play poker with the cast & crew of the film. Spend a few hours trading cards, war stories, and discussing the business. Or, if you're of a more geeky persuasion (as many of us are), we'll be having several nights with an assortment of RPGs, CCGs and Tactical Games, each hosted by Jeff Cannata.
• BE IN THE FILM — Come be an extra in full costume and get your picture taken with Walter Koenig or our top-secret Dr. Clay. For the serious actor, there are also two small speaking parts we've set aside just for Kickstarter supporters!
• PRODUCER CREDITS — A lot of films hand out producer credits, but ours actually involve becoming a part of the process. Our Associate Producers get to come work on set every day, and our Executive Producer gets to offer input on the script, thoughts about the FX designs, and work with us as a hands-on partner during production.
One way or another, this film is going to get made. This is your opportunity to be involved. We can't wait to visit 1876, and we're excited for you to come with us!
Everything about Cowboys & Engines is a challenge. It's been a challenge finding the perfect cast. It's been a challenge tracking down locations. Production design, prop & wardrobe manufacture, VFX modelwork and creation… "challenge" doesn't begin to describe it.
One major hurdle is going to be shooting in Nevada. We have three days on location at a ghost town that's hours from the nearest civilization. Getting out into an area where you have few resources and no control over the environment is always a little scary.
Also, the debt this movie will owe to special effects is huge. Our VFX supervisor is incredibly skilled and capable, but our responsibility during production is to give him the raw materials he needs to work with. That means we need to take the time to do it right.
But that's the whole point of tackling a project like this. Creativity is like a muscle, and you don't gain without flexing it, preferably by lifting the biggest weight you can. Cowboys & Engines is a really friggin' BIG weight, but we're confident we can pick it up and run with it.
The biggest answer to these challenges is planning, and we're doing a lot of it. We're scheduling very carefully, planning for contingencies and figuring out backup plans for the backup plans. When you don't have money to throw at problems, you solve them with elbow grease, so we're stocking up on it.
None of us would be doing this if it were easy. Frankly, every truly great film has resulted from creative people pushing the envelope and expanding their own boundaries. There's no doubt that this is a really big bite we've taken, but with enough backing and elbow grease, we can chew it.
Is this movie affiliated with the adult industry?
No. Not in any way. We only bring it up because both James Deen and Bryn Pryor are inextricably linked with the adult business, as any Google search will reveal. But this project is strictly mainstream.
What will you do if you exceed your funding goal?
Frankly, we hope to. Our stretch goal is $150,000, which will allow us to finish post-production more quickly, travel to more festivals, and have more tools at our disposal to polish the finished product.
Can I pledge for different tiers that offer different rewards?
Yes, there are two ways of going about this:
1. Start a 2nd Kickstarter account with a 2nd email address to pledge for 2 distinct rewards
2. You can pledge the cumulative amount for both rewards and then shoot us an email and we will make a note of it.
Will the DVD and Blu-ray be Region Free?
Yes, the DVD will be region-free, and the Blu-ray will be all-region, so they'll play anywhere in the world; however, the DVD will be NTSC only.

- 2 overripe bananas, mashed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp of melted butter
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1 cup of milk
- In a bowl, take the mashed bananas, the beaten egg and the melted butter. Mix it well. Add milk to it and give it a stir.
- In another bowl, take the dry ingredients 4-7 and mix it well.
- Now add the dry ingredients to the banana-egg-milk mixture part by part, while you stir and ensure that the ingredients get mixed well. You do not have to form a very smooth batter. Some lumps in the batter is okay. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan. Once hot, turn it down to medium heat.
- Pour a scoop of the prepared batter onto the hot griddle/frying pan. Cook it for 2 minutes/ untill the base turns golden brown and then flip it and cook it for another 2 minutes.
- Remove it onto a plate and serve immediately with some maple syrup and butter.
- Make sure that you beat the eggs well and also combine all the ingredients just enough (Do not over mix it. Having some lumps in the batter is fine). All these steps help make the pancakes fluffy.
- The batter shouldn't be runny. It should be thick to make a fluffy pancake.
- You could keep the pancakes warm in the oven at 200 F, if not serving immediately .

Daddy Dino Rocks is a matching game that requires logic to solve the 150 levels of gameplay, includes the ability to create your own levels, and a hammer power-up to help you if you get stuck. This family-friendly puzzle game challenges your logic after the first few puzzles.
watch the Daddy Dino app video now!
Daddy Dino Rocks is packed with unique puzzles and the objective is to remove all gems. I found matching the gems was easy, but ending up with no left over gems is a little more difficult.
I played through the 1st of 10 puzzle packs (each has 15 levels) and found the puzzles got more challenging by level 6 or 7. Some levels have moving platform pieces (1-horizontal or 1-vertical) that add to the puzzle difficulty. An added Daddy Dino Rocks bonus is a level editor that lets you create your own puzzle levels. There are 15 slots for your created puzzles and you can share created puzzles with the developer by email.
While the puzzles are challenging, I would like to see less allowed moves and decreased amount of time to complete puzzles for even more challenging gameplay. I think the developers, Sungift Games, are tweaking Daddy Dino Rocks and you may see some changes in a future update?
Overall, Daddy Dino is a fun iOS logic puzzler that provides a great amount of puzzles for only $0.99. There is also a Daddy Dino Rocks HD version and Dino Rocks free version. Daddy Dino Rocks is also available on the Android platform (Google Play, Amazon, Nook).
Daddy Dino Rocks Bullet Summary
Daddy Dino Rocks is a challenging, family friendly gem-matching puzzle game with 150 levels to conquer, and the creative option of making 15 of your own puzzle levels.

Welcome back to another BEST interview. Today we make a virtual travel to Saint Louis, Missouri, to meet Stephen Lott, creative head behind Books by Stephen. You can find him on Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook by searching for "booksbystephen", and he is also blogging at booksbystephen.blogspot.com.
Hi Stephen, thank you for this opportunity to ask you some questions. Let's start with your books: What kind of books do you make? What materials do you use and what techniques are your favorite?
I started bookbinding by learning how to make flat back case bound books. I also enjoy the challenge of making a rounded spine book now and then. Since learning how to make Coptic sewn books, I have enjoyed this process. I want to experiment with and learn new Coptic sewing. More recently, I have enjoyed painting Arches text weight paper and finding ways to use this in my books. I enjoy creating a whole book with the painted paper as the signatures once I have enough of them, and I would like to do more with the painted paper by using some printmaking techniques.
In addition to books, I enjoy creating box structures from time to time.
That sounds like you have a head full of ideas and inspiration. Where does it come from?
I find inspiration all around me. Probably the biggest source of inspiration for me is finding a way to incorporate ephemera or other vintage materials into my books. Playing with color and texture is also a motivating factor in my work.
My Mom gave me a large tin of old buttons a while back and I enjoy finding ways to incorporate those into my work. I love the idea of using something old on a project; I think about the fact that the user of the book will be giving new life to the button, old book cover, or a cut out image from a book.
How and when did crafting and bookmaking come into your life?
My mom's side of the family has quite a bit of creative energy - musical and artistic talent. I always knew that I possessed these talents too, but it took me several years to find my niche. In 2004, I visited an art exhibit in which an artist used an x-acto knife to cut out small squares from large sheets of white paper. - It looked like a cityscape. My mind went back to the x-acto knife kit that my great grandpa gave me when I was a child. I decided to pull that out once again. This, along with some watercolor paints led to the creation of stained-glass-like greeting cards made of paper.
In 2006, I went to an art fair and discovered a local book artist. I loved her work! As we talked I learned that she offered classes at her studio. I took one class, then another, and was hooked.
Do you have a day job different from being an Etsy seller?
In second grade, my teacher was telling us a story about what she had seen on her way to work. My hand shot up in the air, and I asked her where she worked. Surprised, she informed me that teaching was her job, to which I replied, "You mean you get paid for this?" I didn't intend it to be an insult. Quite the contrary. She made teaching look like so much fun - all the colorful bulletin boards, the mounds of school supplies, not to mention her witty sense of humor. Until that moment, I assumed that teachers lived at school - in the teacher's lounge; I just figured that they "volunteered" in much the same way that parents do. At that moment I decided I wanted to be a teacher. Currently, I am in my thirteenth year as an elementary teacher. The last nine of those years have been as a second grade teacher at an independent school in St. Louis. My school community has been quite supportive of my bookbinding endeavor; I would not be where I am today without their support and feedback.
Is there one book among the many that you created one that you think is special?
Yes, it is called "Our Dreams For the World" - let me tell you its story:One of the units taught is my class in "Coming to America". One of the things we do in this study is to use old hats, scarves, and pieces of fabric to dress students up as immigrants from long ago. Near the end of the unit, students receive a passport that features this photo, and they create a fictional character. Each student also receives a handmade journal (bound with binder rings) covered in fabric. This year, they are getting fabric from their grandparents; one child obtained part of her grandmother's wedding dress for the project.
In the journal, the children write a historical fiction account of being an immigrant 100 years ago.
This study happens to overlap with our focus of Martin Luther King. Several years ago, I created the book "Our Dreams For The World". It reveals my students in their costumes as well as their dreams for the world. (The sticky note in the picture hides the name and secures the privacy of my student.)
The end sheets are made using a book that we study early in the year; it focuses on diversity and culture throughout the world. A few of these books were made; one was sold at our school auction and helped to raise money for financial aid. I was honored and proud to have made this contribution.
This is indeed a beautiful book. Thank you for showing it to us!
Thank you for featuring me and my books in this interview.

This is a wonderful interview! It's great to find out more about our Team members and their inspirations etc.
The "Our Dreams for the World" book project and the class project on "Coming to America" are a great idea. It's so much more interesting to learn history in this way - and much more meaningful and memorable too.
I love the photo of you with soooo many lovely books!
