Just to clarify...my "break a string" comment was simply meant to say, go out there and give it your all. Nothing about sprites, or evil spirits, or superstition was intended. To all my fellow achievers, NBTV, Measuring Man, etc... I wish God's blessing and the best of all that life has to give. Don't break a thing! There I said it.
