Eight injured when school van, semi crash in western Minn.
HOLLOWAY, Minn. – At least two Hancock students were airlifted to hospitals in the Twin Cities after a crash Monday afternoon, March 12, between a Hancock Public School transport van and a semi in far west-central Minnesota..
Swift County Sheriff John Holtz said during a news conference late Monday that "as of right now, there are no fatalities."
The school van driver and seven children in the van were all transported from the scene about 12 miles south of Hancock to either Appleton Area Health Services or Swift County-Benson Hospital, Holtz said, and two or three were then airlifted by Life Link to metro hospitals. He did not have information on the condition of any of the injured.
The semi driver was evaluated at the scene but had no apparent injuries.
Holtz said names would be released Tuesday morning.
Hancock Public School Superintendent Loren Hacker said Monday evening that the van's driver was in the hospital in Benson. He did not know the status of the injuries to the students.
"Right now we're just praying for all the kids. Praying that the injuries will heal and that they receive great care," Hacker said. The students' ages were 8 to 16.
The crash was reported at 3:42 p.m. Monday north of Holloway or about 50 miles west of Willmar. Hacker said the van was on its regular school transport route.
Holtz said it was a T-bone-style crash at the intersection of two county roads. The van was southbound on a gravel road when it entered the intersection, and the semi, pulling an empty grain trailer eastbound on a paved road, struck the van on the passenger side.
The semi ended up jackknifed in the ditch, and the van remained upright in the road, several yards from the intersection.
"It's very traumatic," Holtz said. " … It's a horrific crash."
The Hancock High School boys basketball team played Monday night in a Section 6A game in Moorhead. Some fans and head boys coach Cory Bedel were aware of the crash before the start of the 7:45 p.m. game.
Bedel said the crash "was pretty serious."
The Sheriff's Office in a news release said it paged Appleton Ambulance and Fire, Benson Ambulance and Fire, Stevens County Medical Ambulances, Danvers First Responders and Fire, and Holloway First Responders. Minnesota State Patrol, Benson and Appleton police departments also responded. Life Link helicopter air ambulances also responded to the scene.
The Sheriff's Office, with the assistance of the State Patrol, is conducting a crash reconstruction.

What is quick fuse applique? It is a method of fusing fabric to fabric using a fusible webbing. You may know fusible webbing as 'bondaweb', 'wonder under', 'steam-a-seam', 'Vilene Vleisofix' - it is all generally the same format - paper with double sided fusible webbing attached. It allows you to fix shapes of fabric onto a background as shown in the Bunny Hop mug rug below.

Storage of fusible webbing. Some people like to cut sheets of fusible webbing (10"-12" square is a good size) and store the fusible webbing flat, in a bag. Others like to store it on a roll which is how I store mine. Whatever you do you should try not to fold it as this may make the webbing separate from the paper. Whichever method you use it is also a good idea to pop a little silicone sachet (the type that come in handbags or shoes) into the drawer or bag in which it is stored because any moisture in the air can make the webbing separate.

Inspired by the common electrical connector, the Plug Battery Charger offers a playful and nostalgic way to top up the life of a person's iPhone, iPod and more. Although most people are looking for ways to get rid of soon to be obsolete technology, especially cords and wires, the Plug Battery Charger is in line with people's appreciation of all things retro. The traditional plug may not be retro just yet, but the idea is still there.
Designed by Logo's, the Plug Battery Charger comes in two different colors: black and white. It comes with a cap that mimics the prongs of a plug. This cap comes off to connect with devices. Hopefully no one tries to stick it in a socket.

The vast majority, 84.3 percent, of district technology leaders have a "high level of interest" in implementing or expanding a one-to-one mobile program in their districts, though only 12.1 percent currently have one-to-one classrooms in their districts, according to the National Survey on Mobile Technology for K-12 Education.
The largest barrier to adoption of mobile devices is financial, according to the report, which found that 77.5 percent of respondents representing low-level adopting and non-adopting districts citing cost as one of the biggest hurdles, and 50 percent identifying a lack of infrastructure for mobile technology support. Other barriers to mobile deployment cited include difficulty of device management, at 37.5 percent, difficulty of integration with instruction, and security concerns, both at 25 percent.
When asked to identify up to three benefits of mobile device deployments for student engagement, from a list of 12, respondents most commonly chose student engagement, at 62.2 percent, and personalized instruction, at 42.9 percent. Given a similar question about what benefits they expected, respondents again cited engagement and personalization most often, at 27 and 21.2 percent, respectively.
Other key findings of the report include:
The survey was based on responses from 558 district technology leaders. All respondents indicated that they were district instructional technology directors or coordinators, information technology directors, CIOs, CTOs, or media directors. The report is the second in an annual series and was produced by Interactive Educational Systems Design in collaboration with STEM Market Impact.

To ensure teachers are spending the majority of their time teaching students and not on travelling to and from the printer, many school districts are recognizing the importance of having printing technology in every classroom. However, meeting this need can come at a high cost, leading administrators to purchase smaller quantities – often from different and incompatible printer brands – over longer periods of time.

Perfect Parker Fadley isn't so perfect anymore. She's quit the cheerleading squad, she's dumped her perfect boyfriend, and she's failing school. Her parents are on a constant suicide watch and her counselors think she's playing games…but what they don't know, the real reason for this whole mess, isn't something she can say out loud. It isn't even something she can say to herself. A horrible thing has happened and it just might be her fault. If she can just remove herself from everybody--be totally alone--then everything will be okay...The problem is, nobody will let her.
What I thought:
This was an interesting novel. I did think it was well written, but the story had me scratching my head sometimes. This is another story where we get bits and pieces along the way, not even Parker's friends know what is going on with her.
I found it compelling more at the end, but I spend more time frustrated with Parker's behavor through most of the novel, I was kind of surprised I finished it actually. I am glad, now, that I stuck it out, but this didn't have a pull on me where I was compelled to finish until 3/4 of a way through.
More and more, I'm picking YA novels that deal with some pretty serious situations. Parker is on a suicide watch by her parents and faculty staff at school. But I had a hard time believing the character through some of the novel. There were times I was convinced it was all for show. Definitely won't be a reread for me. I might give the author another book, but for now, I'm moving on to something else.

Greetings one and all,
If you have found your way here, you probably know me; there's an off chance you do not. (If so, check the "About Me" section.) However, that aside, I'm here to tell you that—due to various excellent suggestions from some of the assorted wonderful people I call my friends and family (you may be one of them!), and some stirrings that faintly resembled thoughts that I found within my own head—I've decided to start a blog. And if you haven't guessed, this is in fact that blog.
The purpose of this little corner of the internet is to give me a space to semi-regularly (hopefully) throw some of writing at you, whether it be a movie review or a previously written story or just some of my random musings about the goings on in the wide world and my activity or inactivity therein. It also gives me a place to share links and such, so that I don't end up being so random on Facebook, as well as a place to send people when they want to see samples of my writing or ascertain that I do indeed have a presence (however faint) online.
Anyway, that's it for now. Hopefully soon I will have some real content here.
'Til then,
Dan Faultersack

This morning, I put an end to all our excess fruits (for today) before they all turn south and rot. What a waste and crime that would be, hey? So I tried to extend their shelf life a bit longer and performed some sort of kitchen magic on them, a bit like me trying to extend my youth a little by visiting a beautician to undergo various extraordinary skin-lifting facials now and then. Haha... well, we try what we can, don't we?
Ok, back to the kitchen. The extra apples and mangoes have now all been turned into jams and stored in jars in my fridge. The cooking process was not without some pain, especially when bits of boiling hot jam spurted out of the pot and onto my arms.... ouch! Plus, the slow-cooking process took so L-O-N-G, I think I actually fell asleep in the middle of all that stirring. Yes, making jam is real boring, in case you want to try it someday.
Take one last look at these because they will all be turned into mush soon..
I thought this was a lovely shot of the jams, until I realised that the fruits on top were the wrong way round!
Ok, this is correct. Apple jam on left, mango jam on right.
Yummy, I can't wait to have these on my toast for brekkie tomorrow!

PM: Tory-only government would be tougher in some areas
David Cameron has said a Conservative government led by him would have been tougher on immigration control and welfare reform.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2, the prime minister said these were two policy areas where his party had to compromise in coalition with the Lib Dems.
Mr Cameron has been under fire from Tory backbenchers over compromises with the Lib Dems over NHS reforms.
And he has been criticised for being too "liberal" on sentencing policy.
But he chose not to get into those areas when he questioned by DJ Steve Wright about what difference being in coalition with the Lib Dems had made.
He said: "I think we have all had to make compromises.
"If I was running a Conservative-only government, we would be making further steps on things like immigration control...or making sure that if you are not prepared to work, you can't go on welfare.
"I think we would be tougher than that."
He also appeared to get his own policy on pensions - which is being debated by MPs - wrong.
The state pension age will actually move to 66 for men and women in 2020 (and to 65 for women in 2018) but Mr Cameron said: "What we have done with the state pension, we have linked it to earnings ..We have to pay for that.
"And one of the ways we are doing that is saying the retirement age will move to 66 in 2018."
The prime minister's official spokesman attempted to play down the apparent gaffe, saying Mr Cameron was merely saying the process towards 66 for men and women begins in 2018 but will be complete by 2020.
On immigration, the Conservatives secured an annual cap - in the face of stiff opposition from Liberal Democrat ministers.
The Lib Dems were also forced to ditch one of their flagship policies - earned citizenship for illegal migrants.
But Nick Clegg's party did extract an agreement to end the detention of children in immigration centres.
And Business Secretary Vince Cable managed to secure key exemptions to the immigration cap for highly skilled workers and those coming into the UK on intra-company transfers.
Liberal Democrat ministers have also been pushing for more exceptions to the proposed £26,000 benefits cap to provide "fairness" and "justice".

Estimated people; ones that make a difference in this puzzle and whom as opposed to many inspiring figures, I happen, at fortunate times, to share the same floor.
I survived adolescence without becoming a groupie, running for silly backstage passes or after old junkies rocking my world from their illustrated glossy posters hanging above my bed. First of all, I could not hang anything above my bed, for I was sharing my room with my 7-year younger brother. Seven years of age difference when you are the teenager, grants you the advantage of rendering your sibling invisible; however the furniture remains as a puzzling space minimizer. I should admit though that I did have the occasional preferences, not to be mistaken for the deep-rooted freak; alas rarely for the singer alone in a band (call it early appreciation for teamwork). I can't really explain it; probably I am more impressed by people doing things with their hands.
Now combine the above confession with your average emancipation and feminist flare. Yeap. That's me. Until I see Willem playing cajón. Maybe it is Willem's possibly introvert and composed nature -rough antithesis to the sizzling tapping- or the sparkling smile, the marble-like skin tone, or the sharp yet familiar angular face. Or it could be the dark hair framing two starry eyes or maybe it is just his magical hands after seemingly endless hours of painful practicing while in reality he wanted to go out and play with his friends on the Frisian grass fields. I haven't figure it out yet. The few words I have exchanged with him revealed uncertain conclusions about his person and the rest is observations probably biased by my impression on his talent. Willem is a percussionist and currently plays with SoulDada, a group that is apparently formed by the most beautiful people in the dutch scene. And yet, there is nothing ephemeral about SoulDada and certainly not about Willem. I mean, when was the last time you met and watched someone really enjoying what he is doing? Being there to observe the moment when he starts levitating, above us, the earthly beings trapped in the twilight zone of office work orbiting at conditions of zero creativity. When I want to see that, I go to SoulDada's website and check their agenda.
So, Willem. Willem was sitting at the back when I first saw him, behind the drums that is, and as the songs advanced he moved from the membrane-bearing cylinders and chime circles to other comparatively minuscule sound-creating thingies, till he sat on the cajón. Casually. As if he would have a beer or tapas at some bar in sunny Barcelona. I rarely envy an object (unlike, at times, real persons, I admit this weakness), but for some minutes during the concerts I wish I were a fortunate small wooden afro-peruvian box, with my little strings and metallic bits and pieces making music under the delicate hands.
Understandably, should I have known that I would witness a miracle in the form of a waterfall of clicks and clacks and pats and ticks and tsssss and trrtrrtrr, I would have separated from my partner on time to attend the concert without the guilt of mental adultery. And mind you, I make this thought every time. For it is not just a virtuoso producing the lyrical music in its stereotypical sense, rather a fine young man playing the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments in a perfect communion of seasoning SoulDada's songs with beats followed by the silent sighs of the ones who are't, can't be and can't have.
It is surely a gratifying challenge to describe W's cajón solos without entering in the gray zone of pink details and domestic complaints, but I know for a fact that a man who so harmonically coordinates both hands and a leg perfectly balancing on the resting foot to swiftly hug a wooden-box-soon-to-be-turned-to-magical-sound should expect really bright days and even brighter nights.
It is simple; if you see a poster of SoulDada somewhere touring your coordinates, don't miss the chance. If not for the solos, definitely for the ensemble.

This morning our family was very focused and ambitious, so I had some extra time to play with paper. It's something I love, but don't get to do often. However, I do teach two stamping classes a month, so I do have to get my projects done.
This card was totally inspired by Kimberly Van Diepen. (You can see her original here. I nearly copied every aspect of it!) I loved the use of the Island Indigo quatrefoil paper on the Crumb Cake base, but wanted to play around with the colors.
I added a strip of Wild Wasabi card stock on the bottom and immediately got a preppy vibe. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy, added the 1/2 inch strip of Wisteria Wonder at the bottom. Although my initial goal was to create a beautiful shabby card like Kimberly's, I loved the clean, crisp look. I still felt it needed a little something. What better than pearls? 4 tiny pearl accents in the corners of the Wisteria Wonder strip were perfect.
After finishing my preppy card, I wanted to make a similar card, but with a shabby feel. This is where I added embellishments like Kimberly's. I also "distressed" every piece of card stock and paper with Soft Suede ink in contrast to the clean look of the first card.
It's hard to say which is my favorite. But I love that the entire feel of a card can be changed with a sponge, ink and a few minimal embellishments.
Here they are side by side for comparison.
What are you doing today to get creative?


text:
This week's MWT was making multiples of the same card. Before being introduced to 6x6 paper pads, I only used 12x12 paper for making cards. And since I don't like to have any leftover scraps, I would always make as many of the same card as I could get out of the paper. This works very well when putting together card kits. This particular kit consists of 24 cards.
paper - Heidi Kress - Out of this world
stamp - The Stamps of Life
circle die cuts - Spellbinders
Pearl Pen - Viva Decor
Versafine ink
Thanks for visiting my blog today!

The best description I have seen yet of the voter who is still undecided at this point:
Person on an airplane and the flight attendant with the food cart rolls up and offers them the two choices. "Tonight we have chicken with noodles and dogshit with broken glass."
The undecided voter asks how the chicken is cooked.

Actually, the quotation from David Sedaris is more caustic:
"To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?'
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

In possibly the most convoluted suicide plot of all-time, Connecticut resident and prisoner Steven Hayes—already on death row for the 2007 Cheshire home invasion killings—lied about 17 additional murders and several date rapes just to take his own life. Hayes hoped that he'd be able to barter information about the fictitious crimes for oysters that he would use to kill himself. He's allergic to shellfish.
Despite confessing to the Hartford Courant to clear his mind, many doubted his story from the jump. Judge Jon C. Blue says that if this were all fact, Hayes would be "one of the great serial killers in modern American history." Hayes did not get his wish, and while he still wishes for a swift end to his misery, he remains stranded on death row.

text: I've been doing some cursory research into CAL (Cakewalk's scripting language). I have Cakewalk Pro 8 and am looking into using CAL to "massage" percussion scores and algorithmically make minor changes in order to make the track sound slightly less robotic. You know, like lower the volume of every third bass hit by a couple of percent, randomly raise/lower volume or change the panning of crash symbol hits to make it sound like the drum kit is bigger, alter the placement of a tom hit every once in a while so that it's a few milliseconds off. Have you read any of the CAL documentation? It looks fairly powerful. You might be able to use scripting to take sequences of MIDI notes and manipulate them in some way that simulates looping. I haven't actually used it so take eveyrthing I just said with a pillar of salt. Anyway, it might be something to look into. If I learn any more about it I will pass it along to you and I would appreciate you doing the same if you find out some cool stuff. Peace Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen P.

Erik Nance is expanding his restaurants helping give out free meals and get neighborhood kids working with Mikkey's Retro Grill. [DNAinfo/Sam Cholke]
HYDE PARK — Mikkey's Retro Grill opened Monday promising cheap burgers for nearly every diet and meals for more than its customers.
Erik Nance said he's put as many people to work as he can and even let homeless people sleep on the floor while working to open his second restaurant in Hyde Park at 5319 S. Hyde Park Blvd.
"I like to renovate people's lives," Nance said between shifts training the new employees.
Nance said he's venturing into burgers and chicken wings but keeping the mission to give back to the neighborhood that started three years ago when he opened Litehouse Whole Foods Grill.
According to Nance, Litehouse has given out more than 23,000 free meals in the past three years and he's made an effort to hire South Side kids who would otherwise have a hard time finding jobs coming out of high school.
"I don't turn my back on them," Nance said. "I teach them how to pick up a spatula instead of a gun."
But Nance's goal is more than altruistic, he's also trying to challenge the city's gourmet burger joints with a cheeseburger that's less than $6.
"My favorite burger is Au Cheval and I thought I could top that," Nance said.
Nance's burger challenges the West Loop's restaurant's $10.95 cheeseburger with a $6 cheeseburger with Angus beef and tomatoes, red onions, pickles, lettuce, cheese and "Hey Mikkey Sauce."
But Mikkey's is trying to serve the neighborhood's diverse eating habits, too, with salmon, turkey and veggie burgers, Nance said.
"In Hyde Park, you can literally shake the hand of a vegetarian, pescatarian, meatatarian and a vegan all on the same block," Nance said.
Nance is fiercely devoted to Hyde Park and Mikkey's is only his most recent attempt to fill the holes he sees in the neighborhood.
He said Mikkey's provides an affordable option for families for dinner and a place to grab a milkshake before going on a walk through Harold Washington Park.
It also expands the neighborhood's late-night options as one of the few restaurants open until 4 a.m.
On the second full day for Mikkey's, Nance was already thinking about the Hyde Park's other gaps, including somewhere for teenagers to go.
Pointing to the high rises of East Hyde Park, Nance said he was certain that in every building there were teenagers smoking weed and playing video games.
"That's when the dark thoughts start happening, when you're in the house all alone," Nance said.
He said an arcade or something like Dave & Buster's is needed on the South Side to get kids out of the house and into constructive social situations.
"If I can do that, I think I can get the violence in Hyde Park to less than 1 percent," Nance said.
For now, Nance is getting Mikkey's started, but he said he's only 39 and now knows how to get a restaurant going quickly — Mikkey's opened less than four months after he signed the lease. So the next project for Nance might not be that far away.

Britannia: bonus debentures welcome but concerns remain1 min read . Updated: 04 Sep 2009, 11:51 PM IST
Britannia: bonus debentures welcome but concerns remain
Britannia: bonus debentures welcome but concerns remain
Wheat, sugar and milk are some of the key inputs for Britannia's biscuits and dairy businesses. Wheat contributes to 30% of raw material costs, fats and oils 19% and sugar 12%.
In the fiscal year ended 31 March, average realizations for biscuits increased by about 9%, in line with the rise in wheat and sugar prices. But there is a limit to which prices can be increased without hurting demand. In the June quarter, Britannia's sales grew by 5% while sales during the previous fiscal year had grown by about 20%. Of course, this need not be the trend for the full year but is a slow start to the year.
Although inflation is a key concern for the company, its balance sheet is going to look healthier. In 2008-09, Britannia's return on net worth (RONW) dropped to 22.6% from 26.1% in the previous year. This was not due to a decline in profits but due to a significant jump in its net worth.
Hence, it is transferring Rs406 crore from reserves to debt, by issuing bonus debentures to shareholders. These debentures will be free and fetch shareholders 8.5% interest for three years, after which the principal amount of Rs170 will be redeemed. For the company, the transfer improves its RONW as reserves decline. And, there is no immediate cash outflow.
Notionally speaking, if this had been implemented in 2008-09, Britannia's RONW would have increased to about 50%. Shareholders can also sell the debentures in the secondary market.
Shareholders would be happy with these debentures but would be more keen on seeing how Britannia does in the coming quarters. The current fiscal year is also the first in which it will own 100% of the dairy business, having bought out New Zealand-based Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd's stake of 49% in the venture.
The dairy business has potential but is intensely competitive, and incurs losses. It will require more support from Britannia and also depress profits. The business makes Britannia a more diversified foods company but adds an element of uncertainty to its financials.
All these concerns have weighed on the stock, with its price being lower by about 7% from its level a month ago.

You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Mario Party! Oh Wait, It's a Dud
Bores has started a new "series", "Best of Irate Moments". … Can't you write "Irate Gamer Moments"? Why are you so opposed to writing Gamer?
As the title suggests, it's Bores showing what he believes to be his best moments. Rather, it's Bores over-explaining his jokes!
Here, he showcases his parody of the G.I. Joe PSAs from that same review. Prefacing the short scene by explaining how G.I. Joe had PSAs! I know I've asked this before, but do you really take your audience for idiots Chris?
He also claims that there's not many pictures of Flint on the internet. … I can Google "Flint G.I. Joe" and find a lot of pictures. Flint wasn't some obscure one-shot character, he was a main Joe. Were you just being lazy? Did you just type "Flint" and hope that was good enough? You need to be specific for names like that. He's not someone like Monkey D. Luffy where the name is unique enough to know what you want.
Can't wait to see more self-indulgent "best of" moments.
Anyway, the Friday video.
It's actually a Neo episode. Holy crap they exist! His first one since South Park: The Stick of Truth back in … March 2014. Shit, it's really been a year.
I recall that he said on Facebook that even making IG Neo was "too much time", after having said Neo videos were "low effort" and he could "easily whip them up". Pick a story and stick with it! I guess we're back to "low effort" now.
What game will he look at? Mario Party 10. Whoa, really? That only came out a week ago. That's a pretty speedy turnaround for Bores.
Going by the title though, this sounds more like "Amiibo featuring Mario Party 10"
Also, I think this is his first review of a Nintendo title in a long time. Wii U titles beforehand were third party (Sonic Lost World, Rayman Legends). *checks* Yep, last Nintendo title was New Super Mario Bros. 2 back in February 2013.
The video opens and look at all the Amiibo on his desk. I hope those were obtained out of pocket and not given to him. I see he added "Smash Bros" Yoshi, "Smash Bros" Bowser, "Super Mario" Mario, "Super Mario" Luigi, and Toad.
He says there's actually two reviews. One on YouTube, and one on GotGame. Shit… didn't expect to pull double duty. Not sure why the actual game review is GotGame "exclusive", it's also uploaded to YouTube. Albeit unlisted. Maybe his contract only allows him to review modern games at GotGame? No… he's posted modern game reviews to YouTube as well. He's just inconsistent and weird.
The YouTube only video will be his overview of the Amiibo that work with the "Mario 10 game" (his words not mine).
He goes over how Mario Party 10 came with a new line of Amiibo, how the Mario figure is exclusively bundled with the game.
"You can't buy them individually until… mid-April sometime" Actually it's April 3rd, NoA announced this yesterday. You would know this if you followed them on Twitter.
Blah blah blah…
Different games have different bases. He mentions the rumored Splatoon amiibo. "I have no idea what that game's about" YOU WERE AT E3 LAST YEAR! They had the game! How did you not see it?! Oh right, he was probably too busy in the Skylanders booth…
He states that nine Amiibo work with the game. Kind of… You have the six new Mario characters, but then there's the six Smash Bros versions, plus three others that only have Smash Bros Amiibo at the moment (Rosalina, Donkey Kong, and Wario). So it's more 15.
The non-Mario Amiibo are "Read Only" and merely provide Scratch Tickets that give bonuses. Reading this off the Amiibo wiki (yes, it exists),
"They released five new ones" Incorrect! They released SIX new ones! Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Bowser, and Toad. This isn't counting the Golden Mario.
He even lists the characters, and somehow doesn't realize it's six. Also, he just calls Peach "Princess". What is his aversion to saying "Peach" and "Zelda"? He always just calls them "Princess".
He states he picked up Luigi because he didn't like the Smash Bros version. What? How can you not like the Luigi Plank?
He says "five" again. MATH!
He has the Golden Mario! That also better be out of his pocket. If he's going to start doing this, he has to pay for his Amiibo like the rest of us. I pre-ordered my Golden Mario, I got mine!
He cuts to gameplay. With face cam.
Hold on, is he recording the TV with his fucking camcorder? HE'S GOING BACKWARDS!
He just explains how the Amiibo work. If you care, you can obviously find other BETTER sources.
After that, he just drones on some more … mentions Toad is hard to find (I hear he's getting easier now) and that's essentially it.
Right then, onto the actual game review.
0:05 - 0:18: Instead of sitting at his table, IG is on his couch, filmed in a little square over his TV in the background. … He's going even more backwards! This is a terrible way to film your review.
0:19 - 1:12: The face cam then cuts to the corner and he really is filming the TV with this camcorder. GotGame… how have you not dumped him?
IG starts by reading off the menu options, he goes to Bowser Party and is "unsure" about something. Yeah, this is the worst possible way to do a review. Off-the-cuff "impressions" as you play.
He shows the Bowser Party games, and picks Jewel Drop (a Puyo Puyo knock-off). Instead of explaining what Jewel Drop is, he brings up that Mario Party… is a Party game. What gave THAT away?
Also, the TV cuts to a different segment while he says it. I don't know what's going on.
1:13 - 1:50: We then get another cut. He says there's "two main modes" with Mario Party and Bowser Party. … Wait, shouldn't this have gone before the Bowser Party segment? Did you even script this? I mean, there's editing so he did put it through post, but did he plan this out in any way, shape, or form?
He mentions it's a "group experience" again. Was the Bowser Party segment an unused take he forgot to remove?
He lists the stages because… that needed to happen.
1:51 - 2:53: He starts trying to explain the game. It's a board game with mini-games. He doesn't mention the stupid car mechanic they introduced in 9. Then again, that would imply he played any of the previous Mario Party games. R.I.P. Hudson Soft…
"What's interesting about the Wii U version is that the Game Pad… is a new feature on this" … He seriously said this. This is yet another reason he fails as a critic, he is way too fucking obvious in everything he says! No shit the Game Pad is "new", it's the first Mario Party game on Wii U, the console that attempts to make use of the Game Pad. Even at this point when Nintendo knows they screwed up, they're going to keep making use of it (like with Splatoon and the now delayed Zelda).
IG enlarges his face cam to explain how the Game Pad functions. Charge your Game Pad Chris! I can see the red light!
Anyway, he explains how Bowser is locked up in the Game Pad and the locks correspond with dice rolls and he can get free
2:54 - 4:13: He goes over some of the mini-games… I don't care…
He says things are a lot more fun with more people, and you can "duke it out" and "trash talk each other". Thanks for telling me what I can do in local multiplayer Chris. I was so lost without your benevolent wisdom.
Blah blah blah blah blah…
4:14 - 4:47: He cuts back to the main menu and gives a boring explanation on how Bowser Party works. Zzzzzz
The video ends back at the main menu.
IG says the game is an "experience", and then claims that "every game for the Wii U is based on the family experience". Are you kidding me?! Zombi U, The Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover, Shovel Knight, the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X and Devil's Third, these are games that don't have multiplayer OR are not appropriate for "family experiences".
Then he says he tells people "don't get a Wii U unless you have many people to play with" *headdesk* His ignorance is limitless. Even the games with multiplayer like Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Bros are fun on their own (the latter help thanks to online… which Bores likely never uses). Even in videos as boring as this you find ways to piss people off!
"If that's your demographic, that's great. If not then go with the PS4 or Xbox One". Show me where I can play Nintendo exclusive titles on those Chris? Oh that's right. Especially when more and more games are being released in an unfinished state. That's why the Wii U Zelda was delayed, they still had work to do and felt like they couldn't finish it this year. Plus the mountain of disappointments like Titanfall, Destiny, Evolve, The Order 1886. At least Bloodborne is awesome.
This feels like more "Nintendo is kiddy" garbage.
EDIT: I went to check on the video to see the dislikes (it has a lot). I read through the comments (there was barely any) and one mentioned a "disappearing Game Pad" at 5:04. I checked and there's a Jump Cut where the Game Pad disappears from Chris' hand. More sloppy editing. You really couldn't do the line in one take?
This is an odd video. The middle is extremely boring, but there's the major editing problems in the beginning, and his ignorance at the end. I'm just at a loss for words.
Monday then? Maybe?

My word this was a massive trainwreck. I imagine that unless he can keep up with his new obsession, he'll probably do more Skylanders and stupid skits. Be seeing you, Dan.ReplyDelete
Wait, Zelda Wii U is being delayed? FUCK! That was one of the major reasons I planned to buy a Wii U this year. First Mortal Kombat X on PS3 and now this. Why must we have the bad now, but the good later? Oh yeah, cause then the games are fucking shit...like BORES'S REVIEWS!!! (Insert MLG montage here.)ReplyDelete
Also, I doubt Bores even has a PS4 or Xbox One, so he's one to talk. Unless GotGame gave him one or even both of them. Seriously, how unpopular are they to resort to Bores? Oh well, both consoles are not worth buying anyway.
To be fair, I also prefer the Mario series Luigi pose over the Luigi plank. And I was also able to pre-order Gold Mario, I was lucky enough to check while eating lunch the very first time they went up.ReplyDelete
Really getting sick of the "Nintendo is for kids" attitude. It's obvious they're making efforts to change this false perception about them, and I haven't heard anyone call Nintendo for kids in a while until now.Replies
Appreciate the sentiment heaps, as a Nintendork. It's an unfair stigma that has stuck just because of arseholes hating Nintendo's main franchises.Delete
I'm spewing that Australia misses out on some gold yet again -- very bitter pun intended. I do not expect us to see Gold Mario on these shores.
At least you're not missing out on Mortal Kombat anymore.Delete
I'm not even sure where the misconception of Nintendo being a kid's company comes from. Just because they have some popular franchises that aren't vulgar or needlessly complicated, coupled with distinctive cartoony graphics and whimsical music, doesn't automatically mean they're childish. Not to mention a lot of these games, like DK and Mario, are still very challenging in terms of gameplay. If anything, it's a lot of other games that think the more swearing and gore and tits they throw onto the screen the more mature they are, or pretentious emotional fiat shite like David Cage's work or a lot of the histrionic toss that ended up ruining large parts of Mass Effect's sequels (not least the ending of the trilogy), that are the really childish experiences. Games that think if they're making some really obvious, usually misguided and one-dimensional political or social commentary created in an echo chamber of non-diverse ideologies, or games that just up the violence even though violence is already over-represented in games, are becoming really puerile in my eyes.Delete
AVGN hypothesised that it began with Mortal Kombat having the blood removed on SNES, even though the Genesis version also had the blood turned off albeit there was a code to put it back in. I don't know if this is a commonly-held view or not because I didn't have an SNES growing up and didn't really get into the debate as to which console was better, but it seems possible. Either way, Bores has clearly just accepted this intellectually lazy myth at face value because he thinks it'll make him look more grown up, when it does the exact opposite. I refer back to the CS Elliot quote I think I posted here a few years ago, the sign of maturity is to not feel insecure or the need to overcompensate by dismissing things as childish.
Oh my goodness, the stupidty in these two videos is killing me. *sigh and smh*ReplyDelete
Where do I begin?
Mario Party 10 Wii-U & Amiibo Review & Thoughts:
- While you can use your Mario Amiibo figures from Smash Bros. for Mario Party 10, Bores fails to say that by doing so, the saved data of the Amiibo for Super Smash Bros. will be deleted (Amiibo figures, to my knowledge, can only carry data for one Wii U-compatible game at a time).
- How does Bores not know what Splatoon is? It was one of the most original and creative games at last year's E3 event. Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 showcased it and the game also made an appearance at PAX East.
- As Batdan said, there were 6 new Amiibo figures released for Mario Party 10, not 5 as Bores says. The Nintendo Direct video from January 14th confirmed this.
- Is this the first time Bores has called Toad by his real name instead of Toadstool? That's surprising...
- Once again (during the Amiibo Party mode of Mario Party 10), no mention of how using Super Smash Bros. Amiibo figures will override their saved data for that game. Goodbye level 50 Amiibos, along with any equipped gear and customized movesets.
- He says you win by collecting the most coins in Amiibo Party. That's only half-true when it comes to Mario Party games prior to Mario Party 9 and Island Tour. In addition to coins, you are supposed to gather the most stars across the board (you can clearly see a star at 4:55).
- I think it could have been worth noting how the Toad Amiibo can also work with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (according to the aforementioned Nintendo Direct video).
Mario Party 10 Wii-U – Irate Gamer Neo Video Game Review:
- I love how he glosses over the minigames on the main menu. You'd think he could have put a little more effort in explaining each one instead of just the Jewel Drop one, but when has Bores ever bothered to put in extra effort?
- Mentioning Mario Party mode and Bowser Party mode twice in less than a minute? I think it was a mistake on his part and/or he didn't care.
- Weird how he doesn't mention the (controversial) party bus/car mechanic that Mario Party 9 implemented, considering how many comments I've seen in the past from people that have bashed the game for using this mechanic.
- Bores just explaining the board game mode to us. Has he ever played a Mario Party game before? We don't need everything explained to us (e.g. how spaces work, how dice blocks), especially since millions of people are familiar to the Mario Party franchise prior to this video.
- That was the WORST explanation of minigames in a Mario Party game I've seen experienced. Aside from Bores sucking terribly at them, he treats his audience like idiots? A free-for-all means every man for his/herself? 1 vs. 3 means one player goes solo against the remaining three? Wow, thanks Bores. I never would have guessed otherwise. Also, I once again love how he simply glosses over a few minigames without giving them any additional details.
- More basic explanations about how a Mario Party board game is played, because he thinks we're idiots that have never played a single game in the franchise before.
- No mention of how unfair and one-sided the Bowser Party mode can be?
- Wait, no mention of the Amiibo Party mode? Yes, I know he briefly mentioned it in the former video, but why not review it here? If you are calling this a review, then you should, you know, REVIEW it by talking about all the individual modes and features.
- There are plenty of games for the Wii U that are not based around the family experience. ZombiU is one of them; I have had so much fun with it and I hope Ubisoft will make a sequel.
Wow, two videos in one day and they were both full of fail. Who knows when we'll see something of this caliber from Bores next, if ever.

While he could've done better researching dates by a simple google search, your twitter comment is pretty stupid in itself. You act like He or anyone else HAS to follow their twitter.ReplyDelete
Your "mountain of disappointments" list is funny as well, last time I checked most of those were critically acclaimed...sounds more like you're a Nintendo Fanboy. (see how easily I can do that too?)Replies
Aggregate reviews for each game you mentioned (MetaCritic and GameRankings):Delete
Titanfall - anywhere between 87% and as low as 70% for the 360 version
Destiny - around 75%
Evolve - around 75%
The Order 1886 - 64%
This suggests 'generally mixed to favourable reviews', none of which constitutes a 'critical acclaim' consensus with the possible exception of Titanfall on PC. Besides which, the critical consensus has been generally dismissed as a source of authority by gamers for years now. They have financial agendas and cannot be considered truly objective in most cases, often playing the appeal to the authority of developers and publishers much like you yourself are playing to the media's authority now. All four of these games received huge amounts of criticism by consumers when they were released, either for misleading advertising, an unfinished product, or locking large amounts of content behind microtransactions and overpriced DLC. None of that necessarily makes them bad but it does, in fact, make them disappointments. But hey, if you find it 'funny' that customers continue to get fobbed off with rushed releases and are expected to pay to have the buck passed to them, good for you. Maybe your opinion will change if you ever have to be fiscally responsible for your own games, though.
And just so you know, I don't own a Wii U and am not particularly a fan of Nintendo. I'm just tired of bullshit logic like yours that if you're critical of something, that means you must be a blind fan of something else. It's tiresome.Delete
Among that list, I think Titanfall was probably the least disappointing. A bit bare-bones in terms of content, but it at least felt like a finished game and was still incredibly fun.Delete
- AnonymousMarch 28, 2015 at 11:03 AM
Hurt feelings much?Delete
You post metacritic ratings, yet proceed to say that gamers generally don't use critic reviews..make up your fucking mind.
Lots of stupid fucking assumptions too, I see. Get off your fucking soapbox.
Wanna talk tiresome? You and your fucking high horse and biases.
"LA LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING! I DON'T LIKE YOUR OPINION AND THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG! THIS AUTOMATICALLY MAKES ME A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU!"Delete
That's you. That's what you sound like, Mr. Random-Series-of-Numbers-Instead-of-a-Username.
You actually believed the critics' reviews? Pfftt...Delete
Titanfall is a disappointment because there's no actual campaign mode. The mode that is mildly considered a campaign is only 4 hours long, and multiplayer feels shallow because despite having different gameplay elements, it still feels like every other multiplayer shooter.
Don't get me started on Destiny. I did try out the game myself at my cousin's house and wow...it was BORING. The gaemplay feels like every other shooter, it takes FOREVER to kill bosses, it's easy to get lost and separated from your teammates and collecting money (I forgot what the currency in the game is called) and items is TEDIOUS.
Evolve is also a major disappointment because like Destiny, it's easy to get seperated from your teammates, it takes a LONG time to find the monster/hunters when the match begins and in-game purchases are a joke.
And finally The Order 1886, despite looking beautiful, the AI is IDIOTIC and majority of the game isn't actual gameplay, just Quicktime events which now at this age, is a joke in video games.
Regarding Bores's clip collection series, I'll actually play devil's advocate here and mention that NC, Spoony, and AVGN (well, Mike Matei on AVGN's behalf) have all also released self-indulgent clip collections or "my best reviews/best jokes" videos. However, at least they credit the audience with the intelligence to already understand the jokes and talk to the fans on the same level. Bores was just congratulating himself for what he thought was a great joke that nobody would get without his insight. He was wrong.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, that last part is the problem.Delete
While there have been self-indulgent clip shows from better reviewers in the past, they had the decency to respect their audience. The only "explanation" given was the episode name the clip was from so viewers can have context (and in case someone hasn't seen the episode).
Bores on the other hand was just stroking his ego over a joke that wasn't funny in the first place, and has been done so many times before. Pork Chop Sandwiches anyone?
And the Nostalgia Critic made a hilarious joke about those clip shows in the beginning of his Battlefield Earth review.Delete
Exactly . Fensler Films did much better PSA parodies with their gag dubs. Also, it sucks about the Zelda U delay, but I think Wind Waker HD and Hyrule Warriors should satisfy me till then, not to mention the original game on Virtual Console for a $5 spot.Delete
At the beginning of the year, I had doubts if Chris was going to go back to E3 this year, but now it looks like he will. Who's looking forward to those videos?ReplyDelete
Eesh! I think Bores actually got WORSE when it came to reviewing! It's clear he didn't spend the year trying to improve. Also, on the subject of "Nintendo is kiddy", anyone who claims this clearly never played Fire Emblem.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hell, if he even knew close to anything about Fire Emblem, he'd probably fit right into the "Marth Debuted in Smash Bros.!" trope. To be honest, though, I haven't really delved into Fire Emblem myself, even though I am a fan of its "chess with swords" kind of gameplay thanks to Shining Force.Delete
Is it just me, or do you think he's in the early stages of Parkinsons or some other mental illness?Delete
Neuroscience isn't my strong suit, but I've always had a lingering suspicion that he's got a more than a few screws in a way that could possibly be explained in clinical terms.Delete
I can't get audio on my kindle tablet trying to view Chris Bores' Got video from yesterday. . But if all Chris is going to do is fill his schedule with Amiibo & Skylander vids then I'm done watching him.ReplyDelete
You'll never fucking believe it. I've been conversing and debating with one of Bores's writers, GAME FLAME, and he has admitted that the blog and I bring up several valid points about Bores. He even admit that he lost a debate to me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hold up.... Bores has writers? All this time I thought he came up with his own shit.Delete
He means his new website/blog writers.Delete
He has 4 (maybe 5) other people write articles for his site now.
He does have 4: Owlbundy, Dashing John, Yarnick (who is named GAME FLAME on YouTube and Twitter, but he said on both those sites that he writes for him and his profile pic matches the one on IG's site), and KuchiriDelete
Evidence? Proof?
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
Old time follower of this page, first post!Delete
I've actually known Kuchiri for quite some time, though I didn't speak with him much. His writing for Boring Man, quite frankly, came as a shocker.
(previous post deleted for not meeting my standards.)
@ HunterDelete
Proof of what you say about the debate with one of Bore's (apparent) writers is true. Not that I support IG, but then again, how do we know this isn't being made up to make Chris looks worse than he already does?
Here's the thing, I'd tell you to check the threads on some of his recent videos, but Bores is a douche bag who makes my comments visible only in the notifications section of Google+ for threads that I comment in (it's kind of hard to describe). However, GAME FLAME's comments are still visible to anyone and still mention me, so it just looks like he's talking to no one.Delete
@ HunterDelete
Cool. Can you provide us a link to GAME FLAME's comments?
Unfortunately, this is all I could recover, as he most likely deleted the actual debate part. The first link requires you to look under the thread started by GAME FLAME, but the second link requires you to look under the thread by user Sticksismad, as GAME FLAME's comments can be seen in that thread.

Monday video's up!!! And ohhhhh, boy....ReplyDeleteReplies
You have to give him credit. At least he's coming out and finally admitting that he got totally duped on this whole game deal. Before he went as far as blocking me when I questioned why it took 3 years to make a Commander Cool reskin, where he scoffed back "I'd like to see you make a game quicker!"Delete
What's really funny is I was actually going back to the archives on this site reading the articles about the game and how it tanked.
He's still hiding the fact however that few if anyone liked the game. I think he privated the video where he announced that the game was available, a video that he received 2-3 times as many dislikes as likes for.Delete
Good thing I got that one, if only I knew someone who got the video where Bores first gave Archie a shoutout.Delete
The irat gamer is back, and I think his new videos help to take away the sting of Third Rate Gamer's retirement:ReplyDelete
I'll save today's video for Wednesday or Friday (depending on what we get).ReplyDeleteReplies
It's probably going to be Friday seeing as how his Wednesday videos are usually the ones that have the least effort.Delete
This is off-topic but I would like to mention it to you guys. It's regarding AVGN.ReplyDelete
In the most recent AVGN episode "Hong Kong 97" they mentioned the word "octodecillion." I thought this was just a made up number they pulled out of their rear until I found this article:
I didn't even know that the number scale went up that high. It is 10 to the 57th power. Is there a way to type that? I can't find a way to shrink the 57? Why we would ever need a name for numbers this big is beyond me. I did the math and even the estimated size of the universe is not even close to 1 octodecillion of any unit of measurement let alone septendecillion.
As far as Bores coming out on The Irate Gamer Game? I smell a rat. His story isn't lining up as usual. He claims it came out last summer, no fall of 2013 if I am not mistaken. And as far as him being scammed, I think it had more to do with him rushing it to release to compete with the AVGN Adventures game by Screwattack. Chris found out that it was coming out soon so he told the team to hurry it up and get it out before/around the same time of the AVGN Adventures release. They cut corners and used reskins over building it from scratch to get it done on time. Chris acts liek he doesn't know what happened to it. I am assuming Apple told them they are removing due to copyright infringement of Commander Cool. Chris has been online as Ladybuggin trolling people spreading this rumor.Replies
When you don't have the ability to superscript numbers, 10 to the 57th power would be written 10^57, using the carat symbol (Shift-6). A googol, of course, is 10^100, and a googolplex is 10^(a googol)... try and visualize THAT bastard.Delete
As for this newest video, I see him trying to have it several ways in his favor... he makes a non-apology apology (I was deceived!), he gets to sell a new product at a massive markup (The whole game including the art maxed out at 5 bucks; now the art alone is $9?), and he gets to fill his three-videos-a-week quota with another stream-of-consciousness soliloquy and minimal post-production.
Mixing up the release date was probably due to Bores' crappy memory. He never remembers anything right and he doesn't do much research.Delete
@Harrod Graham's number makes googolplex look extremely puny by comparison. It's so big that it would be impossible to write the damn thing in scientific notation (it would take up all the space in the observable universe, and even then you'd be nowhere near close).Delete
@fusioncode9 Bores' memory capacity is so bad that he even forgets the names of key characters on his show (he once called Eric Allen "Blue Sage" while posing as his mommy).
The number of possible connections between all the cells in the human brain equals a googolplex.ReplyDeleteReplies
Could you provide some proof? I did some math at one point and I think 1 decillion centimeters is equal to about 93 Billion Light years, the estimated diameter of the universe.Delete
The brain is truly magnificent like that.Delete
A googolplex seems high for that statistic; what exactly is meant by "possible connection?"Delete
How much truth do you think there is to his soliloquy? I would say that he is again fudging the facts.ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't trust any first-hand account from him after last year's "opening up" video. "I later found out the contest was rigged, and I'm sure James had a hand in picking the winner?!?!" With no corroborating facts?Delete
And again, I'm supporting Mike's comment of how the contest WASN'T rigged. Especially considering James isn't egotistical enough to do something like that.Delete
BTW, how many big-name users are also falling for the Bores' lies?
I didn't wait for Mike's comment to doubt Bores' claim. Even if I trusted Bores like family, my reaction to the revelation of a rigged contest would be "Holy shit! What did you find out, and when and how?" And I'd urge him to make a video airing all the dirty laundry and exposing the fraud. Think we'll ever get a scrap of evidence from him? No, just "I found out the contest was rigged... moving on to another topic."Delete
He usually comes off as a serial liar, but the contest claim raises the slight possibility of a paranoia/persecution disorder.
did you screencap Mike's comments debunking da bores?Replies
If you're talking about what he said on the "Truckload of Crap" post, I capped that.Delete
The guy who write the batdansuck blog did a good job debunking the Bores. He has a slightly different perspective on him that is equally interesting to read: https://batdansucks.wordpress.com/ReplyDelete
He says he is selling prints.... can he do that? Seeing how he definitely didn't draw them, and judging from how little he knows about the game's fate... he probably didn't consult the artists about selling it.ReplyDeleteReplies
The game publisher's website is down, and they were an overseas company anyway, so I don't think this will be his ruination.Delete
Unless they're desperate and money hungry, like someone we know.Delete
I can't imagine they drew up and signed paperwork clear enough to demonstrate wrongdoing in a court of law.Delete
Haven't watched the video about his game, I'll wait for BatDan's breakdown.ReplyDelete
What I don't get, why did Bores even deal with Mad Media Labs anyway? He already knows DatBoiDrew who could've made a better game, and it certainly wouldn't have taken three years.
Hell, in three years Bores could have learned to program and made the game himself. Using something like Multimedia Fusion or RPG Maker would have taken even less time than that.Replies
Chris is busy hunting ghosts. He has no time to learn a programming language, let alone make a game with one.Delete
Even if he did, Bores' laziness, unwillingness to do research, and the fact that he can't even remember the names of certain characters of his show sometimes means that he probably doesn't even have the mental capabilities to do so.Delete
At best, he would create the "Hello, World!" program and put it up for his fans to download while claiming it to be groundbreaking and advanced. Something tells me that even if he did get far beyond that, he'd probably use it only for ghost crap.
Speaking of ghost hunting crap: https://thingsthatshouldntstillexist.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/01-ghost-hunters/
Ironic that it seems like Chris is the only one with all these problems. James is able to get his work/products out in a timely manner despite setbacks, unexpected delays etc. Either Chris is the most unlucky person in the world or he is not pulling his weight. I prefer to believe that latter.ReplyDeleteReplies
Anyone see the Nostalgia Critic/AVGN review of the Michael Bay Ninja Turtles movie?ReplyDelete
New video up, and yes, he's running out of ideas at a brisk clip.ReplyDelete
New video up. To sum it up, it's just "Hey everyone, check out my green screen that I use. I only paid 2 bucks for it at Wal-Mart!"ReplyDeleteReplies
And so uninformative. James would explain why a cheap tarp works just as well as a Hollywood green screen, how to light it properly, and he'd show us on his computer exactly how to process the raw footage. Bores assumes that his viewers know what a green screen is to begin with, and I'm sure many do, but he doesn't get into any of the technical or insidery aspects of it. James talking about fixing an imperfect shot in Photoshop (Making of AVGN) is much more informative and interesting than the small amount of data Bores gets out.Delete
At least he's making his 3-a-week quota so far. Being this prolific could hypothetically lead to overall improvement of his skills, if he was committed to improving. This situation is as likely to lead to burnout and exhaustion.
