LONDON (Billboard) - Morrissey has split with artist management firm ie: music after just three months. An ie: music spokesman confirmed that it had parted company with the ex-Smiths frontman, but declined to give any details.
Morrissey joined ie:music in May, following his split with previous manager Merck Mercuriadis, ex-CEO of the now defunct music company Sanctuary U.S.
Other acts managed by ie:music, which is run by Tim Clark and David Enthoven, include Robbie Williams, Craig Armstrong and Sia.
It's been a tumultuous past couple of months for Morrissey. First, his completed new album, "Years of Refusal," was bumped from a fall release to February 2 by Universal U.K. for unspecified reasons. No U.S. label is on board for the project at this point.
Then, former label Warner Bros. announced the release of a "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" DVD, which the artist blasted as being done "without any consultation to me whatsoever, and in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager."
And last week, producer Jerry Finn, who had worked on "Years of Refusal," passed away after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage in July.

With the seven gods gone, and the dragons dethroned from their rule over the known world, the humanoids spread out in many directions and began building their own settlements, communities, cities, and empires. Armed with the weapons and gifts of the gods, the humanoids quickly became the dominant rulers of Alvena. However, all of this power, gained in such a short amount of time (relatively speaking), led to the slow but constant corruption and arrogance of the humanoid species.
Many of them took the power that they had and sought even more of the godly knowledge than the fraction that was gifted to them by the gods. Yearning for deeper secrets, the humanoids began searching for more power, and warred between themselves and their different tribes. Over time, they began forgetting the rules and restrictions that the gods taught their elders when they gave them the gift of magic; and in turn they began forgetting that power was merely a means to an end and not the destination itself.
The first to notice the slow corruption of the humanoids were the Drow'theli or "Drow", which roughly means "dark elf" in the elven languages. Long considered the most noble and purest of the elves, the night-runners who danced beneath the moons, saw the greed and selfishness within the other humanoids and realized that the rest of the races were going to bring suffering to the world through their arrogance. Together they struck a deal with the ferocious orc tribes and decided to distance themselves from the other humanoids and retreat into the deepest forest regions and undergrounds; and shared much of the sub-lands with the dwarf clans who regarded them as trusted allies for centuries; and they developed themselves away from the rest of the world.
Leading the advances in magical power and the pursuit of higher knowledge were the Keila'theli or "Keila" which roughly means "gray elf" in the elven languages. The gray elves were considered to be some of the keenest minds among the humanoids of Alvena, and relentlessly persued advances in magical expertise from high atop mountains on great observatories; where they were served by giants as the dragons before them. Growing in power and becoming more and more fascinated with forbidden magics, the gray elves began dabbling in demonology and diabolism; slowly altering their traditions and learning to bind fiendish creatures from worlds outside of Alvena's plane of existence; which would eventually lead to the Great Demon Wars, but the gray elves were too preocupied with their own advancement for them to notice…

After our recent successful harbour day, we are pleased to have raised a final sum of £7,480 for saving lives at sea.
We had a great day with a wonderful community atmosphere – a Cullercoats village day. This would not have been possible without the unstinting support of too many people to mention.
Our heartfelt thanks go the public who supported us so generously in raising funds for the RNLI.
See you all next year.

Ever have that perfect project idea in mind, find the perfect fabric, and then have the results come out not so perfect? That is definitely what happened with this skirt-to-pinafore refashion I attempted a couple of weeks ago. I swear I thought this looked better than it does in the pictures. Looking back, it's safe to say this is not my finest work..
The straps were too long and the skirt didn't fit the way I imagined it in my head. I hate the way I styled it (what's with the shoes – looking at it gives me flashbacks to middle school *shudder* middle school).
I almost didn't post these at all, but then I started thinking about how being honest on my blog.
I am not perfect, my blog is not perfect, and life is not perfect.
Part of the reason I started Buttons and Birdcages is to have something to look back on one day. I have found that since I've started blogging, I do (somewhat) obsess over the photos I post – what I'm wearing, how my hair looks. In a world where we are expected to appear flawless, it's difficult not to get caught up in that.
But imperfection is a part of life, and thus, will be a part of this blog.

In today's world, we probably come into contact with people from different cultural backgrounds almost every day.
We perceive similarities: we are all human beings. We also perceive differences. But what do we make of those differences? We can, if we choose, see them as a problem, even as alienating; we can pretend they don't exist; we can treat everyone as if they would really like to be just like us, if only we gave them the chance. Or we can see these differences as fascinating, enriching, real but not off-putting, a key component of who people are and would wish themselves to be; and then, in the process, we also begin to understand a little more about ourselves.
Going to live and work in another country can be exciting and stimulating, but it can also be problematic, and "culture shock" may affect not only the breadwinner but also members of the family who need to make the move.
Euroasia provides guidance both for people moving to New Zealand, and for those going from New Zealand overseas. The issues confronted by both sets of people are actually very similar, even though the specific context is obviously very different. We also assist migrant professionals with understanding how to thrive in the New Zealand workplace.
Euroasia offers you a shortcut to specific information and skills which could otherwise take years to acquire.
Our training programmes are customised for our clients, but will generally include most of the following aspects:
Generic areas
Culture-specific areas
Diversity Training Introduction
Moving to NZ
Work Across Cultures
Thriving in NZ
Going Overseas

Rogue Brand Agency was invited to pitch on the BMW dealer marketing campaign. The brief was to develop a three month communication plan to communicate the BMW Select offer in Menlyn Auto's area of responsibility. The BMW brand centres around the 'joy of driving'. Joy combined with the unique benefits of BMW Select (access to the premium world of BMW) led us to our strategic focus Joy(now).
One of the main elements I was responsible for was a tool that empowers dealers to deliver 'Joy (Now)'. A portal that delivers a bank of ideas, supported by pre-approved quality collateral for relevant touch-points.
The Power of Now.
The creative concept 'The Power of Now' answers to the immediacy and accessibility to BMW luxury. The creative campaign collateral included broadcast, digital, out-of-home, events, and dealership environments with the main driver to get quality leads behind the wheel of the new BMW 3 Series.

Guest spot by Jonathan L. Ferrara, author of The Blackwell Family Secret: The Guardians of Sin
A lot of people don't understand that being an author isn't just about writing a book. That's actually only half of the battle. With millions of books out there, marketing is the key to any successful author. Nobody is just going to find your book, purchase it, and spend the long hours reading it. They want to know that they aren't wasting their money and time on another so-so book. You have to be able to tell your story, not just by writing it, but by verbalizing your exciting tale. You need to turn heads without reading a single word of the manuscript.
I worked many years in retail, working as a manager for the Disney Store. I never saw myself as a salesman and I kind of just stumbled upon the job to pay my way through college. I learned some amazing strategies by working in retail. I even learned that Disney is a perfect example to how an author can market their book. Every day while I was at work it was up to me to sell the merchandise, not by handing the shopper a Disney shirt and saying something like "buy this it'll look great on you," but by bringing the characters on the shirt to life, by telling the character's story and making the shopper excited. The same goes for a book. As an author, it's up to you to bring your own characters to life by sharing your story before a reader even gets the chance to read a single word from your book. What's exciting about your novel? Why would a reader be interested in your characters? What makes your novel different from all the others? Start with a catchy hook line and then let the rest of your story unfold.
When it comes to my novel, "The Blackwell Family Secret: The Guardians of Sin," I found that what made it most interesting was the unique way I portrayed the Seven Deadly Sins. I didn't just use Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride as the wicked words we've come to know, but gave them life by making characters out of them. I told a story about their origin and how they effect mankind today. Of course my book has much more going on than just the Seven Deadly Sins, but it would be impossible to explain a whole story in just a few short sentences. When I start to market I go straight to the sins because it's interesting and unique and can capture attention.
"Somehow I can't believe there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C's. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably." - Walt Disney. That's one of my favorite quotes, and I hold it dear to me. I believe in the story I wrote, and I market it so that I may share this belief with others. Every author should believe in their story and give it the chance it rightfully deserves. If you believe in your tale then be excited about it with all your heart and the rest of marketing is simple.
Jonathan L. Ferrara is the author of the debut, young adult urban fantasy, The Blackwell Family Secret: The Guardians of Sin, just released by Dragonwell Publishing. He was born in San Pedro, California to an Italian fisherman and a mother from New York. Growing up with one older brother, Jonathan had several hobbies: finding the best hiding spots to jump out and scare his mother, discovering new fantasy book series, and imagining outrageous, whimsical worlds full of magic. He is now happily married, residing in California in the City of Angels. He has two wonderful children-his dog Koda and cat Merlin. Visit his WEBSITE.

Crunchy Chicken Fry
Another deep fried chicken made with a chicken thighs or boneless chicken pieces. The bread crumbs in this recipe makes the chicken crunchy, but it should be cooked on low flame otherwise the bread crumbs will turn brown very fast and inside of the chicken would not be cooked. Yogurt and Soy sauce if desired can also be added to the marinade. The egg should be beaten well and must be added, since it acts as a binding agent for the breadcrumbs. Corn meal can also be used instead of bread crumbs in the recipe to get the same texture. Serve it hot as an appetizer or a snack.

Transportation of perishable goods from EU to Ukraine is not only one of the most technically complex, but also the most responsible kind of transportation of goods.
As a general rule, our customers order a transportation in a reefer, if perishable goods are being transported (chilled, frozen foods, as well as those that lose their quality with temperature fluctuations).
The most often transported perishable goods:
- meat and fish;
- milk products;
- vegetables and fruits;
- cheeses, sausages;
- semi-finished products;
- pharmaceutical products;
- chemicals, etc.
The Corcel company specializes in the delivery of perishable goods from the European Union to Ukraine (and in a reverse direction). Our team permanently organizes deliveries from Europe to the CIS countries, including Ukraine.
We are working since 2008 and we have extensive experience in the delivery of goods that require special temperature.
What are the main features of the transportation of perishable goods from EU to Ukraine?
- control over the maintenance of a specified temperature level;
- compliance with health regulations during the transportation of perishable goods;
- a clear time frame for delivery of the goods (many of these products have a limited shelf life).
Today, transportation of perishable goods can be carried out by any mode of transport – by road, rail, water, air – in containers or refrigerated vans. In each case, our team develops the most convenient transportation route and selects the most suitable vehicle.
More often our customers choose road transportation, as transportation cost is not high, delivery time is acceptable, as a rule, for the customer. In addition, it is possible to deliver the goods door-to-door.
According to the regulations for the transport of perishable products, there are several classes of refrigerators equipped with a refrigerating unit:
- A (from + 12 ° C and 0 ° C inclusive), in the refrigerators of this type cooling system with low power are usually installed, main products transported at such a temperature level, – flowers, bread, pastry;
- B (+ 12 ° C to – 10 ° C), type B is used usually (chilled meat, eggs) for certain products;
- C (+ 12 ° C to – 20 ° C), the products that require a deep-frozen are often transported in a refrigerator of type C.
For the carriage of goods for a short distance, you can also use the insulated container in which the temperature is maintained due to the insulating material. The temperature inside the isotherm will depend on the conditions of loading of goods into the vehicle. Additionally, to maintain the temperature of the isotherms dry ice can be used.
Sea transportations of perishable products are more common in countries with a high level of development of the port infrastructure. At large distances fish, seafood and meat can be transported. During transportation, the goods should pass further quality control at intermediate points of delivery.
Air delivery of goods can be performed if fresh flowers, animals, birds, etc. are being transported, when the time factor is extremely important to preserve the cargo.
What is important to know to carry out customs clearance of perishable goods?
When conducting customs clearance you need to register phytosanitary or veterinary certificates for certain types of products
As part of the fleet Corcel has modern refrigerators that are equipped with autonomous systems of temperature level maintaining. Importantly, our client can monitor the temperature level in a vehicle during the whole transportation. Our professionals have extensive experience in the transportation of perishable goods, as well as in the process of customs clearance at such transportation.
Send your request to firstname.lastname@example.com or contact us via the numbers that are listed at our website. Corcel staff will help you to choose the best vehicle, transportation route, and will calculate for you an approximate cost of transportation

12 Jun ESSEX COUNTY EXECUTIVE DIVINCENZO ANNOUNCES PLANS TO DEVELOP PLAYGROUND IN ESSEX COUNTY BRANCH BROOK PARK
Cherry Blossom-themed Facility is First Playground
in Branch Brook Park's Northern Division
Newark, NJ – Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. announced plans to develop a new playground by the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center in Essex County Branch Brook Park on Friday, June 12th. The playground, which is designed with a Cherry Blossom theme and will feature equipment for children ages 2 to 12 years old, is the first playground to be located in Branch Brook Park's Northern Division.
"With the addition of the Children's Garden last year and the recent opening of Park Elementary School nearby, there was definitely a need to build a playground to meet the recreational needs of the children in this area. The Cherry Blossom Welcome Center is a year-round focal point of the park and introducing a playground will provide children with new opportunities to enjoy this beautiful open space," DiVincenzo said. "Playgrounds are important assets to our parks because they provide children with a place to play and exercise. My administration has made modernizing our playgrounds a priority, as well as introducing them in new areas where they are needed," he added.
The playground will be located adjacent to the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center and the new Children's Garden that was opened in 2014. It is designed with a cherry blossom theme to match the famous Japanese flowering trees in Essex County Branch Brook Park. A main feature of the playground will be play figures in the shapes of lions and lion cubs on which children will be able to climb. There will be playground apparatus and swing sets appropriate for children ages 2 to 5 and ages 5 to 12, the entire playground will have a rubberized safety surface and the facility will be enclosed with a fence. The project also includes the installation of benches, trash receptacles and drinking fountains. Work is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2015.
Local elected officials and community leaders spoke in favor of the playground and the benefits that it will bring to the neighborhood.
"If you listen to the background music of the children playing at Park Elementary School, you will understand why a playground in this location is so important," NJ State Senator and Essex County Deputy Chief of Staff Teresa Ruiz said. "We have always had a playground by Route 280 and now we are leveraging our resources to build one here. And I believe it will become the busiest attraction in the park," she pointed out.
"We all have memories of visiting parks when we were younger. The best memories we take with us forever. The construction of this playground represents an opportunity for children today to create those same memories that they will have in the future," Assembly Speaker Emeritus Sheila Oliver said.
"This is a great project that will add a new dimension to the park," Freeholder President Britnee Timberlake said. "It will be a great place for children to connect with the park and engage in recreation and exercise," she added.
"I am forever grateful that the voters approved a referendum in 1998 to create the Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund, which is being used to fund this project," Freeholder Patricia Sebold said. "People come to our parks because they are beautiful and have such great facilities. This is another example of that," she added.
"This is a great use of open space. All the families that use this playground will enjoy it," Freeholder Rolando Bobadilla said. "The County Executive is always coming up with something; he's the best at that. This will be a wonderful addition to the park," Freeholder Wayne Richardson said.
"When I talk to our residents, one of the most popular things they ask for in this area is a playground," Newark North Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos said. "Families in the neighborhoods surrounding the park will love the fact that they will have a playground within walking distance of their home," he pointed out.
"It's time to get the shovels in the ground so we can get our children playing at this site," Councilman Luis Quintana said. "I commend the County Executive for making the park such a beautiful site. Things like this bring value to our community and attract people to the neighborhood," Councilman Carlos Gonzalez said.
"I believe that nature nurtures. What I like best is the combination of the existing Children's Garden that neighbors the playground. A central location like this will encourage creativity among our children," Branch Brook Park Alliance Co-President Barbara Bell Coleman said.
During the press conference, students from Park Elementary School performed a song from their school play, "Cinderella." Students performing were Nancy Oliveira, Melany Subina and Jacqueline Napolitano, under the direction of their Principal Silvia Estevez and music teacher Kristen McKenzie.
Pennoni Associates from Edison received a $51,950 contract to design the playground. Shauger Property Services from East Orange was awarded a publicly bid contract for $603,200 to construct the facility. The Essex County Public Works Department is monitoring the project to answer questions and avoid delays. The playground is being funded with a grant from the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund.
Revitalizing Essex County's Branch Brook Park
The Branch Brook Park Alliance has been the primary partner with Essex County to revitalize Branch Brook Park, which opened in 1895. The Alliance is a public/private partnership organized in 1999 to provide design expertise and funding support to help Essex County restore and revitalize the park. During the last 15 years, more than $50 million of upgrades have been made throughout the Park. Park enhancements have been supported with grants from corporations, the New Jersey Green Acres program, the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund, philanthropic organizations and community members. In addition, the Alliance has sponsored a variety of programs to clean the waterways, spruce up the park, maintain the cherry tree collection, develop an urban farm, among other activities.
The Barbara Bell Coleman Welcome Center and Concourse Hill upgrades, along with the opening of a two-mile, synthetic surface walking track, renovation of a well in the Park's Northern Division, the rehabilitation of the Reservoir Walls in the Park's Southern Division and modernization of the Clifton Avenue basketball courts were completed in 2014. The bronze statue honor the late tennis legend Althea Gibson was dedicated and the 20-court tennis complex named in her honor received a complete makeover in March 2012 and the field house in the tennis complex was renovated in July 2012. The total cost of the tennis court upgrades was $1.5 million.
A multi-phase project to upgrade the lakefront in the Southern Division was completed in April 2012. It included the restoration of the historic Prudential Lions statues and balustrade, the rehabilitation of two buildings for restrooms and public meeting space, updating the music court with new pavers and landscaping. Recently, the Prudential Lions statues were dedicated to retired Prudential Chairman and CEO Arthur Ryan and his wife Pat, Co-Chair of the Branch Brook Park Alliance, for their dedication to restoring the Park. The music court overlooking the lake was dedicated as the "Prudential Concert Grove" to recognize the corporation's ongoing support to restore the Park, and a memorial cherry tree grove was rededicated in honor of Kiyofumi Sakaguchi, who was President and CEO of Prudential International Insurance at the time of his death. The four phases cost approximately $3.1 million and were funded with a contribution from Prudential Financial and grants from the NJ Green Acres program and the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund.
The renovation of the historic Octagon Fieldhouse in the Essex County Stephen N. Adubato, Sr. Sports Complex cost $423,900 and was completed in April 2011. Completed in 2010 were a $926,000 project to pave the park roadway, upgrade walking paths, and install historic lighting in the section of the park from the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center to Heller Parkway, the planting of 600 Cherry Trees and other trees throughout Branch Brook Park as part of a $416,889 upgrade and the paving of the park roadway from Mill Street to Washington Street as part of a $680,000 project.
In September 2009, the Middle Division Recreation Complex was renamed as the "Essex County Stephen N. Adubato, Sr. Sports Complex," in honor of the founder of The North Ward Center and Robert Treat Academy. In August 2009, a synthetic surface football/soccer field was constructed for $917,662 and named after NFL Hall of Famer and Barringer High School alumni Andre Tippett. Earlier in 2009, a $2.46 million facelift in the Branch Brook Park Extension was completed. This "demonstration project" enhanced landscaping, added Cherry Trees, improved pathways and modernized entranceways into the park from Franklin Avenue. In addition, a $3 million project to rehabilitate the Bloomfield Avenue Bridge that passes over the Middle Division was finished in April 2009.
An $840,000 renovation of the Cherry Blossom Welcome Center was finished in April 2008 and the building was transformed into a year-round showplace to raise awareness about the Japanese Flowering Cherry Blossom Trees. A replica of the historic Octagon Shelter in the Southern Division of Essex County Branch Brook Park was built for $353,510 and opened in November 2007 and $1.5 million was invested to modernize and reconfigure the baseball field complex known as the "three diamonds" in October 2007. The baseball/softball complex in the Branch Brook Park Middle Division was reopened in April 2005 after an $11 million remediation and modernization project, and the historic restoration of the Park Avenue Bridge was completed in 2005. Entrance enhancements, new fencing and landscaping along Clifton Avenue and Mill Street, and a major improvement project along Lake Street have made the park more inviting.
The Essex County Park System was created in 1895 and is the first county park system established in the United States. The Park System consists of more than 6,000 acres and has 22 parks, five reservations, an environmental center, a zoo, Treetop Adventure Course, ice skating rink, roller skating rink, three public golf courses, a miniature golf course, golf driving range, three off-leash dog facilities, a castle and the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens. Branch Brook Park was created in 1895 and is the first park in Essex County's system. At 359.72 acres, it is the largest county park in Essex.

Search Engine Optimisation in Edinburgh
Using SEO Edinburgh as an Optimisation Example
In this SEO article we're going to look at the basic end of on-page SEO – for this example we'll be optimising the page for the search term SEO Edinburgh.
We're not saying that this is exactly how you should do it – in fact to illustrate some of the common methods available and using them all on a single page we've effectively OVER optimised it.
So how is the on-page optimisation going? So far we're at 107 words and have managed to mention the phrase or some closely related phrases 5 times. Obviously this may seem a lot but reading the page back hopefully it doesn't read as excessive. We've done this because phrases mentioned at the top of an article tend to carry more SEO weight than those lower down a page (with the exception of the last line on a page) and so it would most likely be fine if we didn't mention SEO Edinburgh again. Except we've just done it…
You'll note the first few times we mentioned our phrase we used it in a bold font and then we italicized it.
Also, the way this website is coded, the page title gets used within an H1 tag automatically. We went on to mention Edinburgh SEO type phrases again in an H2 heading tag followed immediately by an H4 subheading tag.
See that boring tartan image over there? We've optimised it by using the phrase in its file name, a descriptive alt tag and a title tag – although we've been careful not to use the exact same phrase each time.
The key is to give the search engines a pretty good idea of what the page is about without constant repetition – in fact recent algorithm changes have cracked down hard on this type of excessive on-page optimisation (and artificial off page link building using the same keyphrase in every link).
Don't do it kids!
While it's not visible on this page, there's a page title and page description within the head code of our site. Chances are strong that if you found this page in Google or any other search engine (they do exist) you will have seen the result of this in our listing. The search engine will have displayed a 70 character long phrase containing 2 variants of our target term, because we told them the title to display using this title tag:
SEO Edinburgh: We're an Edinburgh search engine optimisation practice
In fact by illustrating it again – and then by drawing further attention to it in blockquotes we're now absolutely overstepping the mark and we're running a serious danger that this page is becoming over optimised for the phrase.
Back in the day, over optimisation meant keyword-stuffing – and even though you still see sites ranking highly with huge swathes of keyword links in the sidebar or footer area, this is now a big no-no. Most SEOs suggest never exceeding 2% keyword volume per page – but the fact of the matter is Google's latest algorithm considers keyword stuffing to be using the same phrase in all the tags we've illustrated so far. Even an exact match domain name can send a spam signal in certain niches.
We're only at 464 words and yet we've officially maxed out the phrase. Anything more and the article is keyword-stuffed and we risk some form of penalty.
Don't worry though. In a regular article or web page you're probably never going to be mentioning your keyphrase this much – but because this is intended as a basic on-page optimisation illustration we're really going to town.
We mention our target phrase again in our page description – even though there is no real merit to this with Google, as they say they ignore keywords in descriptions. We also wanted to try and attract clicks so we mentioned that we are low cost and ethical:
Tartan are the local SEO Edinburgh based professional practice delivering low cost search engine optimisation services in an ethical sustainable way
Continuing with on-page methods, another thing a lot of people suggest adding is a link to an authority site such as Wikipedia or a related authority site. In our example we could go for an outbound text based link using the target location of Edinburgh – or the subject of SEO – as the keyphrase. Targeting the full phrase and providing a link to a related site – ie ANOTHER Edinburgh SEO website – would only increase page rank to a rival site – which isn't good.
Now this outbound link – there is a lot of discussion that the search engines are wise to this trick (of course they are) and on whether this should be tagged as no-follow.
We feel when leaving it as "follow" there is no real loss of link "juice" and you're showing the search engines that you really rate this site – and aren't just up to some dodgy SEO trick.
SEO Edinburgh Video
Video is a fantastic on-page medium and with it being so easy to create a video, upload it to YouTube and then embed it on a website you're missing a trick if you don't use video. It keeps people on your site longer, another metric that search engines use to see how valuable the content on your website is. A further benefit is that your video if optimised properly in itself using tags, and descriptions targeting your phrase then it may well show up in search results too. Double bonus.
Obviously we've not made a video but we love this short and rather odd song about Edinburgh SEO! Good on them. It's a perfect example of what to do and this company has probably bought a gig on Fiverr to have a 30 second film made using their keyword. It works.
So thats it. Basic and easily implemented on-page optimisation for our keyphrase SEO Edinburgh. The methods are the same whether you're a Dean Dentist, a Haymarket Herbalist or a Mornigside Musician. Need a hand? Call us today we're the Edinburgh SEO specialists!

ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana priest facing 500 counts of possession of child pornography goes on trial Feb. 5.
The Advertiser reports the St. Martin Parish Clerk of Court's criminal department said attorneys had agreed by phone Monday to reschedule the Rev. F. David Broussard's trial. He was scheduled Monday to appear before state District Judge Vincent J. Borne, but an apparent scheduling conflict with Broussard's defense attorney, Thomas Guilbeau, led to the new date.
Meanwhile, Broussard remains free on $25,000 bond. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Broussard was arrested in July 2016 after a repair technician found more than 500 images of child sex abuse on Broussard's personal computer. Following his arrest, he was suspended from his priestly duties at St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge.

I am studying for the First Class Applied Mechanics exam. I spent a lot of time going through the Reeds book, chapter by chapter and then going through all the Second class questions, and went through some of the First Class questions before getting frustrated/intimidated/mad at myself.
So as a way to test my skills, I decided to attempt the First class questions supplied in the Diesel Duck Library.
This only made me much more frustrated/intimidated/mad at myself!!
I understand that there is more than one way to answer these questions, but a lot of time I feel as though studying the Reeds book hasn't provided the means to solve some of these questions.
Martin has mentioned that the exam is heavily based on the Reeds book. So what I'm wondering is: Are the questions in the library worth spending time to learn these other methods?
Can anyone provide some insight wether the questions in the library are close to what I should expect to find on the TC exam? Or should I stick to reeds and not get distracted to the library questions?
I feel overwhelmed every time I sit down to study and feel like I am no closer to being ready to write this exam than I was a few months ago.
I can't imagine I am the only that had these questions when studying for this exam and hoping for someone who has written the exam already could provide some insight for a good studying strategy.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Ithaca, NY: Ithaca College is a beautiful, small school which is moderately competitive. Since there are about 6,500 students, everything is very personal. Even though I'm only a junior beginning my college search, the admissions office suggested that I have an interview. Both the receptionist and women who interviewed me were very nice. Four days after visiting the campus, I received a hand-written postcard from the women who interviewed me.
The dorms are very small, yet clean. They are all set apart from the classrooms. Some are pretty high on the hill. If the cold scares you away, don't let it. All the classrooms are connected to each other and there are underground tunnels connecting many buildings.
The campus is very well kept. There is a gorgeous view from many areas of the campus since it is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Ithaca. For that reason, it is also very safe. Like most campuses, there is a blue light system (call boxes connected to security), and an escort system.
Ithaca is a private college of arts and sciences, business, health science, music, and liberal arts. The theater program seemed very strong. They have a radio station, and produce a variety of television programs.
Ithaca College is a very warm and comfortable school. If you want a relatively small school where you're not just a number, check out Ithaca. n

Value Added: Taking Advantage Of Opportunities
One of my favorite experiences is jetting to Phoenix, Ariz., each January, where my wife, Polly, and I visit her parents and I attend the FBR Open, one of the wilder events on the PGA Tour and a corporate schmoozefest sponsored by Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group, the Rosslyn investment bank.
It's a great place to make contacts, and I have met lots of interesting politicians and businesspeople there. Two years ago I met Teddy Downey, who at the time was one of FBR's research analysts and is the son of former congressman Tom Downey. Tom Downey represented Long Island for nearly two decades and is now a Washington lobbyist.
Teddy Downey, 26, recently left FBR and is now heading up Potomac Research for Washington entrepreneur David Bradley. Potomac Research is a new company aimed at acquiring intelligence on how federal activities will affect the private sector and then selling that information to investors such as big mutual funds, endowments and hedge funds. The model is similar to Bradley's predecessor companies, the Corporate Executive Board and the Advisory Board Co., both of which sell research to corporations through a subscription-based service.
I have written a few blogs lately about the scions of famous people. Entrepreneur/author Christopher Gergen, son of political journalist David Gergen, was the first. Fannie Mae CEO Dan Mudd, son of longtime CBS correspondent Roger Mudd, was the second.
Some people questioned whether the Gergens and Mudds and other achievers should be celebrated for being successful, since they grew up in prosperous families. I asked Teddy what he thought.
"It's helped in a lot of ways because of growing up in D.C. around big decision-makers like Nancy Pelosi, George Miller, Chris Dodd, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer. Just growing up and getting to be friends with them and their staff, meeting with them, has been a huge advantage understanding how the Hill works and getting information on specific situations that affect investors."
Lobbyists, many of whom are former lawmakers, "are at the center of all this information through their personal relationships. They are very plugged in. I know them through my dad, partly through social contacts. My family is extremely plugged in."
Downey has tons of friends from his days at St. Albans School in Northwest. He lives with a houseful of former high school friends over in Georgetown. A St. Albans' friend helped link him to Potomac Research.
"St. Albans has been good to me," he says.
Then Columbia University. Nice. But everything didn't come from dad.
"My dad is still very helpful to me, and he keeps me in mind. But hard work and really endless curiosity and a desire to learn separate me from others. It's not just sitting on your laurels. Part of it is taking advantage of the possibilities that are open to you."
After college, he worked on the Kerry-Edwards campaign as an advance man. He has also tried advertising and polling. He was hired by FBR three years ago as an analyst in its Washington Policy Research Group, alongside Andrew Parmentier and Kevin Book, both friends of mine, providing hedge funds and mutual funds with the same Washington intelligence that Potomac Research sells now. Teddy concentrated on financial services, health care, energy and what is known as "TMT" for tech-media-telecommunications policy.
"I got hired because of my ability to write and think clearly and being personable and well-liked, not only around Democrats but around Republicans and being able to go deep into issues that wind through Washington and affect companies on a large scale, like Internet gambling, asbestos, and mergers and acquisitions."
"One of the things that really is a big difference between Washington and Wall Street is the pace...People are used to working hard in the White House and on the Hill. But it's a whole other level of intensity and efficiency required when you are dealing with investors. You can't pontificate. You have to diligently dig for information and translate that effectively for investors."
Any home runs at FBR? He and Parmentier correctly predicted that big asbestos legislation would not pass Congress, which would have been a windfall for insurance companies. He also correctly called the failed acquisition of 3Com by Bain Capital and a Chinese Company, preventing some investors from taking a bath and helping others to short the stock.
I had to ask because I am a reporter: What is your best resource for finding stuff?
"A lot of the information-gathering is really done on Mondays and Fridays, when members aren't in session, and you can meet with the committee staff. They are able to go deepest on issues."
Downey said Potomac Research will concentrate heavily on federal agencies like the Federal Communications Commission and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They both have a big effect on everything from how much Medicare will reimburse health care providers to whether a communications merger will be approved.
He spent the last few weeks on a road show drumming up clients. It's a great time to start this company.
"With the 2008 elections, there is going to be a tidal wave of new regulations and a tremendous amount of change, whether it's [Barack] Obama or [John] McCain, in the key areas we are focused on, including financial services, health care, energy and telecom. The change and uncertainty in Washington creates risk and opportunities for investors," said Downey.
Downey said there is one Washington prediction that is fairly certain: he won't be invited to next year's FBR Open.

I'm a huge fan of David Bradley and anything he undertakes. Teddy sounds like another great member of the Bradley team. Best of luck to them.
Posted by: Bradley fan | May 27, 2008 7:21 PM
I think this is a great article about how this young man succeeded on his own merits. It seems like many people in this situation would be tempted to coast along but he really sounds like he's working as hard as he has to to make his business successful. Good luck to Teddy and to the latest Bradley venture.
Posted by: Dianne | May 27, 2008 7:50 PM
David Bradley has done it again, with a great idea and a solid headliner. Teddy seems to have already proven himself as a leader and has a bright future ahead.
Posted by: Rick | May 27, 2008 8:35 PM
This is surely not an easy path. Clearly diversified interests and a strong work ethic are driving him to this success. No doubt, this venture requires long hours of research and sound judgment. Connections may position Mr.Downey but it will be his own drive and values that carry him through.
Posted by: Garnett | May 27, 2008 8:49 PM
Fantastic article about a promising new company. Teddy seems really focused and driven. They've obviously thought this out and I'm excited to watch Potomac Research succeed.
Posted by: Morgan Oakes | May 27, 2008 9:43 PM
Everything David Bradley touches turns to gold and I have no doubt he and Teddy will score another home run with Potomac Research!
Posted by: Sam Quinn | May 27, 2008 9:45 PM
Downey seems refreshingly engaged in the fascinating goings-on of Washington politics and has managed to catapult his passion into an undertaking that resonates with business saavy. Kudos to Bradley for taking a chance on such a young man. I suspect he will be glad he snagged him now as his future is sure to impress!
Posted by: Danielle | May 27, 2008 9:46 PM
Hmm, an intelligent member of the Washington 20-something set who has a political upbringing and a job that necessitates he reach across the aisle and befriend members of both parties... is running for office in Downey's future?
Posted by: Jack York | May 27, 2008 9:55 PM
I've know Teddy from my Little League Days through my college years at Columiba University, and I am glad to see his business savvy recognized. He is incredibly gifted, quick thinking, and integrated into the DC world. I have no doubt he will succeed in this endeavor as he does in everything else he pursues.
Posted by: Peter | May 27, 2008 10:29 PM
I understand that Washington is all about power and whom you know and taking advantage of opportunity when it knocks... but I prefer stories about people who make it though the school of hard knocks, like car-wash owner David DuGoff.
Posted by: Polly Elmore | May 28, 2008 9:42 AM
i would not expect anything less from the humble kid. teddy has always had a knack for success and bringing people together. i look at this as just the beginning to a long storied career.

I've known Teddy for a while now and am so very glad his discipline and hard work has been recognized. DC is full of the sons and daughters of the well-connected but Teddy has always relied less on who he knows and more on his own skills and abilities. This is an honest article about an extremely talented young man, who, in a short time, will not have to be introduced as, "the son of former Congressman Tom Downey."

This sounds like an innovative idea poised to take off. Can't wait to see where it goes. Best of luck to Davis Bradley and the newest members of his team.

A wonderful interview with an extremely talented young man.
I've known Teddy Downey for many years and have always been impressed by his drive, uncanny abilties and sweet demeanor.
All in all, a very formidable combination.
I am delighted but not at all surprised by his success.
Whatever path he takes, I am confident our future is in great hands.

Way to go Teddy. You never cease to amaze me.
Posted by: Randy | May 28, 2008 1:31 PM
You've gotta hand it to Bradley. He's got chutzpah tapping a twenty-something to run the show...regardless of who his father is. This kid must be the real deal.

My hat's off to Mr. Bradley! It sounds like he is entering into groundbreaking territory again, this time with Mr. Downey at the helm. Teddy certainly has a bright future ahead of him based on his name and what he's accomplished thus far. It will be interesting to see how accurate the future predictions of Potomac Research are. If all goes well, this could be Bradley's next home run and Teddy's first!

I play on a rec. flag football team with Teddy and he always steps up in the clutch. Potomac research is lucky to have this natural leader join their team!

Looks like Bradley just knocked another one out of the park. Grand slam!

I play quite a bit of squash with Teddy and this definitly tops his left handed wrist flick.

I've always thought that Teddy was smart, dedicated, handsome, erudite, thoughtful, passionate, well-dressed, expertly-coiffed and quite a fine dancer.
This article causes me to reflect on many of Teddy's other fine qualities. For example: did you know that Teddy is a world-class archer? Also, he can tie a cherry-stem into a square knot using just his tongue! Recently I heard that he ran into a burning building to save a box full of cuddly kittens! KITTENS!
Certainly Teddy is the cat's meow (get it!)! I wish him all the best!

While we all are aware of Teddy's finer attributes, I think it is only fair that we point out some of his shortcomings like: he's overly passionate about what he thinks is right; extremely critical of himself; too open-mined and diverse in his thinking; extremely self-effacing; and most importantly unable to know when to draw the line and say "no".
Posted by: Felix | May 28, 2008 4:34 PM
Teddy Downey is a man with a balanced vision. He is well-educated and open to ideas from every side. This comes, not only from his politician father but also from his mother who has been an educator her whole professional life. I feel very positive about his sense of social justice and his commitment to the kind of research that we all need in order to make decisions for the future.
Posted by: Joan digby | May 28, 2008 7:12 PM
Whatever happens in November, it's reassuring to know that there are young, in-touch researchers such as Teddy Downey who have the education, personal experience, enthusiasm and committed sense of purpose to keep us accurately informed.
Posted by: B.Cristin | May 28, 2008 7:29 PM
Unlike apparently everyone else in Washington, I do not know Teddy Downey but his FBR background and the endorsement of the legend David Bradley speak well for him and for his pedigree, and it is clear from the early deluge of positive posts that he has a lot of friends. My concern is the business of Potomoc Research and it is the same concern I have about the arbitrage business - the trading of contacts and friends for information that may make investment decisions easier for the whales. While clearly legal, it still has the same scent of "insider" (with a small i) advice that leaves the rest of us small non-institutional independent investors at a distinct disadvantage. Fortunately, more fulsome security reporting requirements and the internet have helped narrow the gap, even if I can't have Chris Dodd or Chuck Schumer over for wine and cheese.

When Teddy Downey does a pushup, he doesn't lift himself up, he pushes the earth down. Teddy Downey is the reason why Waldo is hiding. Teddy Downey always knows the EXACT location of Carmen Sandiego. Teddy Downey CAN touch MC Hammer. Teddy Downey can kill two stones with one bird.
Posted by: tomcat | May 28, 2008 8:16 PM
I'm getting a nice tan basking in the reflected glory here! I like to think the long hours I spent having Teddy become accustomed to defeat at table tennis have in some small but significant way contributed to his steely resolve to take this planet by the scruff!!
I'm delighted to see that the world at large is recognising the solid traits that have always been evident in this man that I'm proud to call a friend.
I just hope Teddy remembers to give me the tap on the shoulder when it's time for me to come join the team!!
"Just give me a chance coach; I know i can do it..."
Best wishes for a successful future from all your family in Ireland.

As a small business owner, I enjoy this feature and the insights into how people make money in this town.
The 'legacy series' is interesting -- but you may want to raise the bar to feature individuals whose career or accomplishments would be noteworthy independent of their last names.
The CEO of Fannie Mae would qualify under this new, more rigorous standard.

I have known Teddy his entire life. I am not surprised that he is such a successful young man. It doesn't matter if he is playing sports, riding a bike, or analyzing information, he does it with total commitment and dedication. He will be a great success because of who HE is. He has had great teachers along the way: his mom, his dad, and all his congressional aunts and uncles who were and still are very influential members of the Washington political and financial scene. Congratulations to Teddy and to David Bradley.

cooper. that's a very incisive observation that you brought up about the "whales" benefitting from the washington playbook that potomac research is selling. thank you for that. however, both you and i can avail ourselves of "the whales" by investing through mutual funds.sure fidelity, vanguard T.Rowe Price and others can afford Potomac Research, in which case we can be on even ground with the "insiders." i would not advocate buying individual stocks unless you are sitting by a lake somewhere with nothing to do but read annual reports. i would say you should be leaving the investing the big mutual fund companies and go play golf.

Sounds like another story of a son of priviledge using his father's connections for opportunities. Nice to see the son hasn't waivered far from his father who used the connections gained as a public servant to slurp from the trough as a lobbyist. This article disturbs me; we should be celebrating people who make it on their own - not those who improperly benefit from "public Service".
Posted by: True Merit | May 29, 2008 1:32 PM
Here's a nice link regarding his exemplary father. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE3DD1031F932A05753C1A964958260
A nice excerpt from the article:
When Mr. Downey talks about his seniority on the House Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Lazio prefers to discuss Mr. Downey's Congressional junket to Barbados a few years ago, including a jet-ski excursion captured by hidden cameras on ABC's "Prime Time Live." Mr. Downey says simply that the trip was a mistake.
If Mr. Downey brings up his central role in securing extensions in unemployment insurance benefits, his challenger talks about overdrafts on 151 checks totaling $83,000 at the House bank at a time when Mr. Downey's wife held a patronage job as an auditor in the House office that ran the House bank.
"While Tom Downey was writing bad checks, his wife was serving as the only auditor of the House bank," one ad reads. Mr. Downey said that the auditor title was only a job title, that his wife's work with the Sergeant-at-Arms office had nothing to do with the bank.
If Mr. Downey talks about his efforts to find money to convert Long Island's military industry to peaceful purposes, Mr. Lazio contends that Mr. Downey has all but abandoned Long Island in favor of Washington, where his wife works and his children go to school.
Asked about the considerable political baggage he brought to the campaign this year, from the House bank to his trip to Barbados, Mr. Downey smiled wanly and said, "Well, I have been there a long time."

Mr McClellan - you really stretched your investigative powers by kindly providing us with that insightful link, didn't you?
It's difficult not to discern a slight tinge of jealousy buried not too far beneath that piece of earnest journalism.
If that is the best you can do in terms of 'dirt' after about 30 years public service that really says it all.
Please forgive the rest of us whilst we wish a young man (whose only fault is that he sometimes laughs too loud) all the best for his future.
We also wish YOU all the best in getting rid of that chip on your shoulder.

Being a Son of Privilege (a boy born into a wealthy or powerful family, to be raised without the hardships experienced by the poor or the working class) is not a great accomplishment. He has had doors opened to him because of his father. George W. Bush would not be where he is if not for his father, nor would over 4,000 young Americans (most who weren't Sons of Privilege) be dead due to a mistake of a war. We don't need to over-celebrate those whose accomplishments are spring boarded by their fathers - especially a father that usurped his stewardship of public service. It's not that great of an accomplishment.
Posted by: S. McClellan | May 30, 2008 3:26 PM
Well Scott,
Wow! It's such a very good thing you hung on to all the negative literature from the '92 campaign and speaking of cashing in at the porcine trough of DC connections and lack of personal integrity we must obviously defer to your superior knowledge and experience in all such matters. You have reset the honor/loyalty bar and we are quite confident that you have left not an angstrom for anyone else to crawl under.

Also one of the ALPHABET-GODS known as God M. M is for Merchants.
EK-CHUAH started off as a God of Conflict, which could explain a lot about door-to-door vendors and telesales tactics. He has black-rimmed eyes and a large droopy lip... or is it a nose? That would explain why his name sounds like a sneeze. EK-CHUAH! Either way, he has a real nose for business.
He is usually depicted as a dark brown or black deity, appropriately enough as he's the Patron of the Cacao Bean. Yes, EK-CHUAH is a God of Chocolate. Those delicious dark beans were once used as currency.

Heavy Fighting in Damascus
Intense fighting erupted Monday in the Syrian capital of Damascus as rebels and government security forces clashed. The opposition has moved in on the key neighborhood of al Mazzeh, where there are embassies and security buildings—and the homes of some of President Bashar al-Assad's inner circle. It's the fiercest fighting in the Syrian capital so far in the yearlong uprising, and rebels have made apparent gains elsewhere in the country.

Good morning!
Today I am sharing my first layout I created with the
Scraps Of Darkness December kit
This is our Tyler, 2 years ago. He loves to play in the snow!
The Bo Bunny Sleigh Ride papers were perfect to capture this frosty moment!
I sprayed some of the flowers from floral add on with Lindy's mists from previous kits I made some snow by mixing modeling paste, gesso and the wonderful Prima Finnabair Art Ingredients Mica Powder in Opal Gold from the Scraps Of Elegance Color add on. This stuff is awesome! Added the perfect winter touch to my layout. I also used a sticker for my title from the Bo Bunny stickers from the main kit!
Thanks for stopping by

Sometimes the last thing I want to do after editing photos all day is to be on the computer any longer than I have to! That means I do not post as much as I would like. ( a girls gotta sleep!) I have a few shoots that were so awesome and perfect this year that I can't not share them...one of my favorite places to shoot in Michigan is Cranbrook House and Gardens. The 40 acre Garden is home to a wonderful Museum and Art School. It is beautiful and one of my all time favorite places to shoot. It's magical and makes you really feel that you are truly in a secret garden!
The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.~ The Secret Garden

Diesel & Juice - Illustrated Cellphone Cases
Help me expand my whimsical illustrations to custom cellphone cases!
Diesel & Juice - Illustrated Cellphone Cases
Help me expand my whimsical illustrations to custom cellphone cases!
Are you crazy about your dog? Are you constantly looking for ways to bring up his adorable ears in a conversation? Do you try to find a way to show your friend the latest picture of him romping in the grass?
Well, what would you say if we told you that you could avoid the awkward ways of trying to find an in? How, you ask? With a custom illustrated cell phone case! That's right, it's everything you could imagine it would be. It's custom, it's YOUR dog, it's an illustration and its on your cellphone where everyone can see it. Now, with the success of this kickstarter project, not only will you be helping a small business succeed, you can have an awesome piece of art on your phone!
Diesel & Juice is an illustration studio that began in December 2011. It was inspired by my love [read: unhealthy obsession] of my English Bulldog, Diesel and feisty feline, Juice. I created illustrations of them on a whim and decided to create some for my pet obsessed friends and family as budget friendly Christmas presents. They were a huge hit and it's been non-stop drawing ever since!
I currently offer both commissioned and pre-made illustrations of the most adorable pets, creatures, and objects through etsy and a self created e-commerce site. My mission is to create a full line of gift-able products that modern pet and art crazy people alike can get a piece of.
Most of my illustrations are currently available as art prints, canvas wraps, stickers, and calendars and while I've managed to get this far on my own, in order to get to the next step, I need your help!
Watch Part of My Illustration Process:
My goal is to expand my illustrations onto high quality and affordable phone cases. This would include both illustrations offered in my online store as well as any commissioned illustrations. Want to have an awesome illustration of your childhood dog on your phone case? This kickstarter can make that possible!
Our plan is to start with just iphone 4/4s/5 cases but if we can exceed our goal, we'll have the capabilities to expand to select android and blackberry cases. Iphone 5 cases are available as an option but shipment will depend on how long it takes to create the case template and blanks which will depend on the final release date of the phone. We'll be sure to update you along the way.
Each case design is printed using a process called sublimation to ensure lasting vibrant image quality. The case will protect your iPhone with a one-piece, impact resistant, flexible plastic hard case. Simply snap the case onto the back of your iPhone for solid protection with direct access to all device features.
We need help funding the gear for the first production run! All funds will go towards the items needed to create the cases, pledge reward production & shipping costs, as well as any kickstarter and amazon payment fees.
Just to show a few, we've chosen our 14 best sellers. But don't feel limited! I can make your case with absolutely any design or color combination. Many many more illustrations can be viewed at shop.dieselandjuice.com
As a thank you for your pledges, we'll send you rewards based on your contribution amount. These include:
$1 - Digital Love - A dollar can go a long way! With your dollar, we'll be one step closer to our goal and you'll have a smile delivered to your email inbox. What's the smile? A special video only for kickstarter backers of Diesel doing her thank you happy dance. Juice doesn't dance but maybe she'll make an appearance ;]
$5 - Sticker Love - a 4" Diesel decal sticker to stick anywhere you please + a special handwritten thank you
$15 - Calendar Love - a 5"x14" year-at-a-glance 2013 calendar with one of our 14 best selling designs. Printed on a fancy thick stock paper ready to hang above your desk + Sticker Love
$30 - Print Love - an 8x10 fine art print of your choice from shop.dieselandjuice.com + Sticker Love [Print comes unframed, loose in a protective sleeve with a white backing board]
$40 - Iphone Love - an iphone 4/4s/5 phone case with one design of your choice + Sticker Love
$90 - Simple Love - a cartoon inspired [simplistic/bold] illustration of any animal object you choose on one iphone 4/4s/5 case + Sticker Love
$125 - Cartoon Love - a cartoon inspired [simplistic/bold] drawing of any animal or object you choose + an 8x10 print and iphone case of your illustration + Calendar Love
$250 - Custom Love - A detailed commissioned illustration of your favorite pet or object + an Iphone 4/4s/5 phone case of your finished custom illustration + Calendar Love
$500 - Double Love - A detailed commissioned illustration of two pets or objects + one Iphone 4/4s/5 phone case + one 11x14 print of your finished custom illustration + Calendar Love
Funds from the campaign aren't available until at least 14 days after the campaign ends so all reward shipments will begin production two weeks after our campaign ends. It is estimated that phone case order fulfillment won't be completed until January. We'll do our best to complete all pre-orders sooner and promise to be very diligent about sending all backers updates on estimated production and shipping times.
International buyers, please consider adding $3.00 - $10.00 to your pledge to help cover those nasty shipping costs.
Can't afford to help with monetary contributions? We totally understand! You can help us in other ways! Share our project with Facebook and Twitter, tell your dog crazy mom about it, tweet about it to your favorite celebrity or post a flyer in your local coffee shop. Join us on Instagram and we'll return the favor with lots of adorable pictures of Diesel to help you get through any rough work day.
Press Kit - info, pictures, logos, etc to help make it easier for sharing!
We're everywhere. Come get to know us!

Risks and challenges
The risks of a successfully funded project primarily include possible equipment issues and delays in production. We have a backup printer lined up in the slight chance our own equipment fails to arrive or function at it's best. We want to be sure all orders are delivered before the estimated date and plan to do whatever it takes to be sure we stand by that goal.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
