Motion TypeAugust 13, 2007
No doubt you caught the "Pulp Fiction in Typography" video going around a few months back. Ever since I've been noticing plenty of interesting cases of motion and type being used together to visually narrate audio.
Some are lush and detailed with accompanying illustration or video, whereas others are spartan and plain; simple colours and minimal type are used to effectively illustrate ideas, and that's about it. The latter are harder to pull off, but demonstrate how effective graphic and motion design can be when done well.
Taken from a variety of sources like movie clips, songs, and grad projects, there are a lot of neat typography experiments on YouTube. I've curated a few I thought were particularly good. Enjoy!
(Note that some of these have language that many will find offensive. Proceed with caution.)
Bonus link that I missed first time around - Hey Ya!
These are AWESOME in a typographic way!
Don't forget about Simon Robson's (Knife Party) "What Barry Says" either. That's good times:
Amazing typography and design skills in those videos. Never knew about this before - thanks for informing! I'll have to keep an eye out for more of these in the future.
Cool stuff. I had never seen any of this. Thanks.
Makes me want to learn Adobe After Effects. Thanks for the vids.
Is After Effects the tool to do that sort of thing? I've never even looked at it; buying expensive software sight-unseen is painful, so I haven't even investigated it. What other software packages exist for that sort of thing? I imagine some of the big 3d packages could do it (Maya, XSI, etc.), but I have no real knowledge of their capabilities.
Every time I see awesome motion graphics, I wonder what application is used to create it and how difficult it would be to pick up. It would be an amusing tool to have on the belt.
I'm pretty sure a few of those YouTube videos said that the animations were made in After Effects. Yeah, the others can probably do it also. I too don't know much about these programs, but I have After Effects at work, so maybe one of these days I can mess around with it. Wonder if there's any good instructional sites…
Don't forget amazing work from the Vancouver Film school by Boca (aka Marcos Ceravolo) and Ryan Uhrich.
After seeing the "Pulp Fiction in Typography" I went on a similar search myself. Nice finds above. My personal interest is movies and I remember a few good opening credit typographical examples. Recently Die Hard 4.0 (or Live Free Die Hard) was good and in similar style to those above. However, I also recommend checking out the "Thank You For Smoking" opening titles at http://shadowplaystudio.com/smoking.html
If you interested in general typography on screen, idents.tv at http://idents.tv/blog/ has TV idents (who'd'ave guessed it) which are usually good use of typography.
Finally, I found some very cool animations and shorts (some involving typography) at Motionographer http://motionographer.com which are definitely worth checking out.
Finally, if anyone finds some good tutorials on the subject, I would appreciate looking at them. Cheers.
I didn't see the "Pulp Fiction in Typography" before. Really a good job. In my opinion it's made with maya. I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0iKsfuD3mI but it's a very lower quality.
Also notable:
@Octave Z - "Don't forget amazing work from the Vancouver Film school by Boca (aka Marcos Ceravolo) and Ryan Uhrich."
I didn't, that's the one in the top row, center. But thanks for the higher-res version.
@Trovster - "I also recommend checking out the "Thank You For Smoking" opening titles at http://shadowplaystudio.com/smoking.html "
Ah, can't believe I forgot to give that one a mention. Thanks!
I had the exact same thought: after seeing "Pulp fiction in typography" I searched youtube for more examples.
After finding about 30+ nice motion type movies, I decided to post a movie every day for a whole month…. this month (August).
I started my series almost the same as yours.
Because the month is not finished yet, there are still about 15 more to come:
Speaking of nice film credits… check out Eurotrip (yes, that bad teen movie from a couple years ago). The film itself is totally forgettable, except for a few moments), but the opening credits remind me of many of these pieces.
Nice compilation! take a look at this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CyPixDcNzk , a full music video-clip by Cuarteto de Nos, an uruguayan band that usually writes sharp and speedy lyrics. It's clearly inspired by the Marcelus Wallace's clip, but it's really good and long, very hard work put into it.
Too bad it's in spanish (for the non spanish speakers) because almost every phrase has a graphic relevant to the meaning, but nevertheless it's worth the look!!
Thanks for the plug, Dave!
If anyone wants to try something like this with one of our music beds, we'd be interested in talking with you… we won't even charge you for the license! :)
But seriously, we'd love to do some promo for our new site in this style, as I think using text-only design allows the music to be really impactful.
Dave You made a great list of typography experiments on YouTube! My favourite is also The Hush Sound - The Lions Roar. They make it on Maya or 3D studio MAX or something else?
Not only do these types of things make me appreciate typography a lot more, it really makes me appreciate the talented voice actors that have the ability to convey emotion through just one of our senses.
That original Samuel L. Jackson clip from the past was a real eye-opener in that sense as the surrounding typography illustrated just how emotive he really was being.
Probably said before, but the introduction sequences in Casino Royale were quite fantastic. Not typography, but very similar. Also, the end credits of 300 weren't bad either.
Is this type of thing not done in livetype and final cut pro?
Some great stuff none the less.
I am going to be attempting something like this myself shortly.
Anyone know of a good tutorial.
The pulp fiction one blew me away
I really love these I really do. I need to make my own little typography motion.
Man…that's some creative stuff. Thanks for the find. I love the Ocean's Eleven one best. Apart from the typography I think the spacial approach is pretty awesome to in some of them.
Great selection of videos Dave. I haven't come across any of these before, so I am very thankful for the find. But, I have seen the opening titles for "Thank You For Smoking", and I second your recommendation (I loved the movie too).
@Nick Husher & Michael - Tools of the Trade
After Effects was probably used in many of these because it does have some very robust animation capabilities. That combined with its video processing and effects fuctions make it very suitable for this sort of work. I am guessing Final Cut Pro could also be put to similar uses, and I'm sure Flash is also a poular choice.
3D animation software can be very useful in creating graphic animations. They have the added advantage of having not just animation capabilities but also lighting, and the ability to work in the 3rd dimension in a much more free-from way than allowed by regular video and effects packages.
I have no experience with Maya and XSI, but I have done similar work in the Open Source Blender. software. It is growing into a very capable platform and the reason I used it for a corporate video project I was working on was that it has video editing and effects functionality built in, so things like overlays, motion-blur, bloom effects can be all worked on under the same interface. It can be a bit of a challenge to get to grips with in the beginning, but then what complex graphic software isn't?
I don't have this documented on my site yet, so here are some shots of what I created:
The fact that the final image needs to be "rendered", means that a very wide range of visual effects can be created. So, 3D software is a very flexible (if slightly complex) solution for producing motion graphics.
It can even be done with sport content… (language warning!) http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=Alternative+Rugby+Commentary&search=
this is nice too
What is interesting is that Mike #2 already mentioned the very well animated and well done, political pamphlet "What Barry Says", but that there is no reaction whatsoever to such content. Are we graphic designers that occupied with design and form only that we have no interest in what is actually said in our works?
"What Barry Says"
Squarepusher animation, a very old one from around 2003 (kinda NSFW), but imagine the time and effort it took in those days to animate stuff in flash.
Yeah - after effects I reckon. It's a hefty price tag unless you're really serious about what your doing though.
Some great videos! As a hip hop and Pulp Fiction fan I was particularly drawn to 'The Hit Song' and the 'Pulp Fiction' ones. Although they are all great!
Great post, loved it!
Hey, Im trying to do a kinetic typography piece for a project I'm working on. I have Adobe After Effects but havent used it yet. Anyone have any ideas or tutorials on how to create these?
Or if anyone has any ideas of audio I could use, that'd be Fantastic!
Speaking about screen typography-related issues, there is a page about movie company logos seen in various movies (www.closinglogos.com/page/Logo+Variations), like the famous "30th Century Fox" joke from Futurama and melting Warner Bros logo in Terminator 3.

For today's beer lover, nothing but a cold glass of beer will do, especially when youre at the game or visiting your neighbourhood pub with friends. But thanks to the so-called beer belly, Theres a strong association between beer and the beer belly and beer has gotten a reputation as a bad-for-you beverage. But enjoyed responsibly, beer can actually be a healthier drink choice.
Shocking, isnt it? But consider this: Beer is fat-free, cholesterol-free and low in carbohydratesa 341-mL bottle of beer with 5 percent alcohol has 5 g of carbohydrates, while a pear with the skin on has 26 g.
Now were not saying you should trade your fruits and veggies in for a steady diet of suds, but enjoying beer in moderation can actually be a healthier beverage choice than soda or sugary fruit cocktails. Picking beer over another beverage if youre counting your calories is wise. Lose the Beer Belly! Beer and Body clients use positive health effects of alcohol for rapid weight loss with a revolutionary Beer Belly Diet!

Rene Lequin-Colin Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010This is the only wine in the Lequin-Colin collection that isn't 100% barrel fermented. It is 50% in tank and 50% in barrel, of which 10% was new in Chassin and Rousseau French oak, so there is a total of 5% new oak on this everyday chardonnay. The grapes come from plots in Santenay: "Lavau" near the village, and "Corpeau" which is located below the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The grapes from the plot "Corpeau" are purchased from organic producer friends of François, but François manages the viticulture, the harvest and the ultimate pressing and winemaking. The result is a fresh, citrusy and long chardonnay squarely in the AOC of Burgundy, but without pretense or artifice.
$21.99 $17.59
Rene Lequin-Colin Bourgogne Rouge 2010This wine comes from two parcels in Santenay: "Chassey-le-Camps" and "Lavau." Lavau is planted half to chardonnay (which goes into the "Retour aux Racine" bottling) and half to pinot noir. For this basic pinot noir, the grapes were co-fermented 10% whole cluster with the rest being de-stemmed. Fermentation lasted two and a half weeks after which it was put into barrel for 1 year, only 10% of which was new. It's juicy, spicy and everything you'd want in a basic Burgundy.

Our Daily Wines Our Daily Red 2009Practice makes perfect they say, and Our Daily Red has been in production since 1998. Ongoing vintages have added a healthy percentage (30%) of Mendocino grapes which bring the leaner mouth feel and more focused flavors of the region to the mix. A blend of Fresno Syrah and Carignan and Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine should age well for a few years...if it lasts. This is a gluten free and vegan wine with not detectable sulfites.

Frey Vineyards Natural RedOur best-selling wine is medium bodied, well balanced, and smooth, with a bright garnet hue. The finish is crisp and fruity. An excellent everyday red, carefully crafted with organic techniques. This wine pairs well with a wide variety of cuisine from picnic fare to holiday feasts.

This wine has a medium finish that is balanced with nice tannins and acidity.

"Hmm... Wow!!!" murmured me. "That was it!!! They had it!!!" claimed me inside my heart.
"I've had that kind of experience myself: I'm looking at a map and I see someplace that makes me think, 'I absolutely have to go to this place, no matter what.' And most of the time, for some reason, the place is far away and hard to get to. I feel this overwhelming desire to know what kind of scenery the place has, or what people are doing there. It's like measles - you can't show other people exactly where the passion comes from. It's curiosity in the purest sense. An inexplicable inspiration."

|Iceland map across the globe
Yes, Iceland!!! It was my dream to be able to visit this place. Geographically, this island was located independently between the continental Europe and mainland North America. It was well-known as the land of the fire and ice because of its country extremist conditions with glaciers and volcanic springs located next to each other. It sounded mysterious for me as its location was separated from the rest of the Europe countries and if you heard about the erupted Eyjafjallajökull (Read: [ˈeɪjaˌfjatlaˌjœːkʏtl̥] - Yeah, try to pronounce it guys!!! :P), which caused enormous disruptions to air traffic across western and northern Europe and affected more than 10 million travelers over a week's period of time back in April 2010, I was wondering how the place looked even after that.
|Reyka Vodka - Iceland made vodka
Apart from that, I was so curious and would love to visit the hometown of the Reyka - a brand of vodka distilled and bottled in Iceland. It was handmade and used the water drawn from the lava field that went through the process of demineralisation before being blended with the vodka. As you know, I'd been using 'Reyka' word for my nickname, a name given by chatting brother back in year 1998, and still used it until now. And only now, I found out that 'Reyka' meant 'steam' in Icelandic word :)
So, I was asking my parents if they were interested to join this tour and within the same day, they agreed to it. The next day, I went to register the package for 3. And few weeks later, I was asking my friend - who joined the Silk tour together one year ago - if she and her father were interested to join the trip. And yes, they did! Therefore, five of us were finally joining the tour, together with the rest of 18 people who had the same interests to visit the country.

On 14th October our KLM flight departed from Singapore Changi Airport and we had a stopover in Amsterdam for 5.5 hours. While waiting, we just browsed around the area and had breakfast from the Amsterdam Bread Co. With the open kitchen concept, the sandwich offered was looked so appetizing!!! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Sandwich (€6.95) with a cup of Latte Macchiato while my parents were sharing the Ham and Cheese Sandwich (€5.95) and a cup of Espresso. They tasted delicious!!!
We spent the rest of our times browsing the shops and planned on what to buy on our way back home to Singapore. Hahaha... The airport was wonderful. Read more on my experience on Iceland - Day 1 soon...

...having to swap my glyphs mid raid.
For a long time, I succeeded in getting away with using only three resto glyphs: nourish, WG, and swiftmend. It was a good mix of tank and raid healing love, and it got us through most of ICC. When Lana'thel gave us a 0.8% wipe, however, I knew I needed to bite the bullet and change up my glyphs, throwing a rapid rejuv in place of WG, since the spread of our little 10-man raid prevented me from hitting more than 4-5 people at once with the spell.
...then came Valithria. I was raid healing, so I needed WG back; I put in WG over nourish to see how the rapid rejuv glyph felt some more.
...and Sindragosa. Well, dang, I needed nourish again (until they just told me to go feral for it!), and RR wasn't as useful as WG.
...and Lich King. More spreading, massive damage, nourish beats out WG. I think. Or maybe I need Nourish AND WG, and RR will get the bench again. Still trying to decide on that!
...and of course the rest of the instance, which in many cases in conducive to using the WG glyph, especially trash, and some bosses that would probably be better with a RR glyph rather than WG due to raid spread.
So now I carry a stack of WG glyphs and RR glyphs: in most cases, a fight will tailor itself to one or the other. My limited bagspace cries against carrying more nourish glyphs, *cough*buttheguildbankiskindlyprovidingstoragespaceforthat*cough*. This is likely the most irritating thing I have found about glyphs thus far, and an unfortunate side effect of progression raiding in an instance that was built to have something more than cookie-cutter boss fights. While I certainly enjoy having a variety of boss encounters, "needing" to swap my glyphs around for each boss is particularly annoying, and I entirely blame the introduction of the rapid-rejuv glyph.
It was fine before this glyph came along. I had my three glyphs, and I was set. Then RR came along and had to spoil the party. I cannot deny its usefulness any longer: there are boss fights where heavy raid damage is going out over too spread a raid for WG to be as effective, and chain-gunning lifeblooms isn't effective enough, and I "need" that hasted rejuv to keep the raid alive on a progression boss.
This list assumes that a boss is "progression," or otherwise "not on farm." Farmed bosses are easy enough for the guild that a glyph swap is not necessary to ensure victory. Experience and gear will move a boss from a guild's progression list to their farm list.
This list is also based on 10-strict raiding with a mix of ranged/melee and 2 (sometimes 3) healers, no others being resto druids.
Lower Citadel - Marrowgar:
- Swiftmend: generally a good idea, and with the movement phase, definitely a good idea here.
- Nourish: two tanks plus a spiked player makes nourish an excellent glyph choice.
- Rapid Rejuv: in his whirl phase, people will be fleeing in all directions, and may not stay in range for healing. Faster HoT ticks may or may not be beneficial here, depending on how far out your raid spreads (thus leaving heal range, etc).
- Wild Growth: while some strats may have the whole raid clump up in melee range, generally there won't be a need for aoe healing, unless you have a large number of raiders all prancing about in the fire. More of the raid healing will be needed in the whirl phase, when raiders aren't nicely clumped. If your guild uses a brute-force-gear-overwhelm strat that keeps the whole raid clumped up in the whirls, WG would be an obvious choice to take as a glyph for this fight.
- Swiftmend: I love this glyph.
- Nourish: tanks will be taking some spikey hits, and some dps may need a quick top-off over the hots already running on them before they get one-shot by a ghost, aggro, etc.
- Wild Growth: most of your ranged and healers will be grouped up together, with periodic damage from aggro, the boss, and death runes. Melee/tanks will also be grouped with pets, though may be spread out too far to make the 6-target WG as useful. In phase 2, everyone will be clumped generally, and death runes can be quickly countered with this.
- RR: not as necessary here, imo. Given the spikey nature of the damage, a longer-lasting rejuv serves as a steadier base for Swiftmends and hot-buffed nourishes. Lifebloom easily serves here as a good quick-ticking hot.
- Swiftmend: /love
- RR: Faster ticks on the tanks = glorious.
- Nourish: assuming a 2-healer set up, you WILL be casting nourish on a tank, and you want it to be as buffed as possible. You may also need your nourish for an aggro-pulling dps on your own ship.
- WG: given the split of raiders between the two sides, on top of the players jumping in cannons, WG simply will not be hitting 6 players regularly. Raid-wide damage isn't as much a concern, either, as much is negated by pressing the "w" key to get out of targets.
- Swiftmend: yep.
- Nourish: tank healing and mark-of-the-fallen-champion healing, easily boosted by hots makes this glyph a no-brainer.
- RR: the faster ticks allows this spell to counter the random-target DoT debuff without any other healing (in most cases).
- WG: given the ranged spread and debuff-based raid damage, WG glyph will only be effective in the melee. Usually, the melee won't all have damage, so it's just a revitalize-love on the melee in one GCD. This is an option if you have a cohealer who is taking care of (or helping with) the DoT debuff. If you don't have revitalize, then it's a non-issue.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: lots of tank-healing here. I'd consider it a necessity.
- Wild Growth: assuming you group your melee and healers and tanks (and pets) in melee range, you will (probably) find the 6 targets quite useful for raid-healing through some of the inhales and exhales. Target your WGs on the boss to ensure the tank shares them.
- RR: could also be useful here, but I view it less so than WG. This will be a matter of raid makeup: if you are putting more players out in ranged (and away from AoE heals), RR will become more useful. Lifebloom can easily be used on ranged players, however.
- Swiftmend
- Wild Growth: most of the raid will be grouped up and taking splash damage together.
- Nourish: depends somewhat on your makeup and assignment. If you're mostly healing the kiter, you will want to prioritize mobility; if you find you are needing to heal the MT with Nourish, then the glyph will certainly be a boon. Nourish will also be enjoyed for boosting through a player who has the disease on them (for those that don't cleanse immediately) to help cut through the healing debuff, and for all those times swiftmend is on cooldown as people run through slime, get sprayed, etc.
- RR: The faster ticks may be detrimental on keeping the hot going on those who run out of range (to merge oozes) and in keeping players swiftmendable: aoe heals will take care of most of the raid-wide damage. Situationally, with a kiter running through slime pools/ooze, it could be useful.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: even with three healers, you will be healing tanks, especially in P3.
- RR: helpful for cutting through raid damage as the group spreads out around slime puddles, particularly in P3. It also results in faster revitalize procs on your abom for extra energy, since the ticks occur more quickly.
- WG: this one has some usefulness for raids that group up on green ooze explosions to help spread out damage. In most cases, you will be able to bridge your WGs across the raid, as long as they are disciplined enough to stick more or less together (through P1/P2). P3 it is unlikely that you will have 6 players/pets close enough together.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: 3 tanks, 3 healers. Druids will most often be assigned to the kite-tank, but even with the heavy mobility, nourish is useful for healing your tank. A possible alternative is RR, if you find your mobility is more important.
- WG: when raid damage happens, it will usually be on a clump of players, and I found that the 6-target was frequently useful. Your own raid makeup and guild's style (and habit of grouping together) may alter your choice.
- RR: could be useful, but lifebloom can serve the same quick-tick purpose in raid healing. If you find your raid does spread out too much for the 6-target WG to be useful, swap your WG with a RR for the quick-tick heal.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: even if you're put on pure raid-healing duty, you will likely be using nourish on the dps. It will be more useful, at least, than WG, since the raid is so far spread out.
- RR: given the spread of players, you will be using rejuv heavily in tandem with lifebloom, swiftmend, and nourish as raid heals. The glyph will help immensely in off-setting the heavy raid damage.
- WG: it is unlikely that a 10-man raid will find much use for a 6-target wild growth in this fight, where it is detrimental to group up. It is more common to hit 3-4 players with your WG in this fight.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: whether you are "raid healing" (including the tanks) or dragon-healing, nourish will be used a lot.
- RR: a definite if you are dragon-healing. As a raid-healer, the raid damage tends to come in spikes, and often the raid is spread out too much to make good use of a WG glyph. You must balance the quicker-ticks usefulness with the fact that it doesn't last as long on the raid/tanks, making their swiftmend eligibility more prickily!
- WG: only applicable if you are put on raid-heal duty, and only if you have a large group of ranged players who will be grouping up on you, and near the dragon. The splash can help heal the dragon as well as your co-healers and the ranged dps.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: even with three healers, you will be tank-healing in parts of P3. Between ice tombs and the unchained magic/instability debuff, healers will be rotating who is doing the active tank healing.
- WG: your raid will be grouping up, a lot. You will also be able to easily walk up to bridge your WG with the melee. With the constant raid-wide damage, WG is extremely useful in this fight.
- RR: WG and lifebloom easily make up for not using the quicker ticks of this glyph, since the raid is mostly grouped up. The longer ticks of an unglyphed rejuv will also help those players that are ice tombed, as it will continue to heal them even when they are in ice tombs and suffocating, if applied just before they are tombed.
- Swiftmend
- Nourish: even with three healers, you will be tank-healing a decent amount. It also helps if you get sucked into the blade in P3 and you need to heal Terenas.
- RR: given the amount of movement and tank healing and heavy damage in this fight, faster-ticking rejuvs are a blessing.
- WG: your raid should be clustering together often enough to make WG useful; however, the RR trumps it. If you want to replace any glyph with WG, I recommend replacing Nourish with it.
So, how about other raiding trees? Are you needing to carry around extra glyphs to swap them around mid-raid? Is this a phenomenon limited to the 10-man raiding scene, where nourish abounds in usefulness for many fights?

Eddie George and 6 Other Former NFL Players Who Became Actors
Former Tennessee Titans running back used to thrill audiences with long runs and evasive moves. Now, he's hoping to win over new audiences with his…acting.
George will star in the title role of Nashville Shakespeare Festival's production of 'Julius Caesar' this month. With the play, George joins a rich history of former football players who've gone on to theatrical stardom.
Who can forget the bit roles that Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Lawrence Taylor, Terry Bradshaw, Bill Romanowski, and even Mike Ditka have taken on in recent years in various projects? But George is taking centerstage in a bigger way. Here's a look back at some of our favorite NFLers who've dreamed of stardom as an actor:
Eddie George
Before joining the Titans, George was a Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State who is in the College Football Hall of Fame. As a pro, he racked up 10,441 yards, and was a four-time Pro Bowler. Here's a promo for 'Julius Caesar':
Carl Weathers
Probably best known for his role as Apollo Creed in the 'Rocky' franchise, Weathers, who also starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Predator,' had a brief stint in the NFL in 1970-71 with the Oakland Raiders before retiring from the game. It was probably for the best, though, since he's much more well-known as an actor than he ever was as a player.
Here he is in 'Predator':
Bubba Smith
Everyone knows the late Smith for his role as Hightower in the 'Police Academy' series of movies, but younger viewers might not know that Smith was first a feared defensive end in the '60s and '70s. While playing at Michigan State, Smith was regaled with the chant of "Kill, Bubba, Kill." He was a two-time All-American, and a fan favorite.
See Smith in an iconic scene from 'Policy Academy 2′:
O.J. Simpson
"The Juice," as he was known during his playing days, Simpson was a six-time Pro Bowler and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of the best running backs of his era, posting a remarkable 11,236 yards in his career. Later on, he was featured in dozens of TV shows and movies, with his largest role coming as Detective Nordberg in 'The Naked Gun' franchise. But he's perhaps best remembered for the trial for the murder of his late wife.
Here's a scene from 'The Naked Gun':
Jim Brown
What couldn't this man do? He's a member of both the Football Hall of Fame and the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, which just about says it all. Already accepted as one of the greatest athletes ever to lace up his cleats — he finished with 12,312 yards and 106 rushing touchdowns — Brown ventured into acting, too.
Here he is on 'The Flip Wilson Show':
Alex Karras
The Lions defensive tackle played over a decade in the NFL, becoming a four-time Pro Bowler and appointed to the 1960s All-Decade team. However, he had bigger dreams in mind. He went on to star on the popular sitcom, 'Webster,' and played a starring tole in Mel Brooks' 1974 satire, 'Blazing Saddles.'
See Karras in 'Blazing Saddles':
Howie Long
The defensive end and tackle was one of the best defenders of his era while playing for the Raiders in the 1980s, racking up awards and even a Super Bowl victory. His acting career might have been short-lived, but Long made a mark in 'Broken Arrow' and 'Firestorm.' Today, Long can be found on TV as a Fox Sports analyst and in the occasional TV commercial.
Check out Long in this preview for 'Firestorm':

Volunteers trim trees to benefit Tender Mercies
Holiday tradition helps homeless
On a day when getting reigns supreme, some local volunteers focused on giving.
"The sales will always be there," said volunteer Jan Weis. "The cheer is here."
They transformed an old Blockbuster video in Hyde Park into a magical pine grove, with each tree decorated and paid for by volunteers.
All proceeds generated from the venture will go to Tender Mercies, which provides permanent homes to 150 mentally ill people who'd previously been homeless.
"You really feel what giving is about," said Bonnie Dierker, of Tender Mercies.
After the finishing touches, the trees will be auctioned. Previous auctions have raised up to $70,000.
"We've been doing this for about five years," said volunteer Mary Lee Hardig.
Three generations are helping to put it together, and it offers more than a lesson in decorating for the youngest volunteers.
"We decorate here before we decorate our homes because it's important to give first and then do for yourself," Hardig said.

FRAMINGHAM - On a cold afternoon, Hairo Bino and his granddaughter dragged six bulky plastic bags filled with cans into the Allstate Redemption Center in Framingham.
"Each bag has 200 cans,�� said the Southborough resident.
After looking inside, manager Edward Coates agreed the bags held about 1,200 cans and gave Bino $60 in cash, representing the five cent deposit someone else paid for the original beverages.
Wearing plastic gloves, Coates began tossing cans into 14 containers marked Pepsi, Coke, Bud, Miller and the names of other popular drinks.
Since purchasing Framingham�s only registered bottle and can redemption center 18 months ago, Joseph Tran estimated his business helps recycle "approximately five million containers�� a year.
His mother, who came to the U.S. from Vietnam in 1984, just bought the building that has housed a redemption center - initially named Bottle Bill�s - for 30 years since the state Legislature passed the law requiring deposits on some beverages.
That bill created a niche industry of 160 current centers across the state that recycle millions of metal and glass containers that, if not redeemed by people like Bino, might otherwise end up along the roadside.
So Tran cannot understand why area legislators are sponsoring a bill he fears would kill his business by replacing it with a curbside and drop-off recycling program that critics claim would cost communities more and create more litter.
"If something�s not broke, why fix it. Businesses like this provide an incentive to recycle,�� said the 26-year-old Saugus resident. "If people didn�t have this place, where would all those bottles go � in the streets.��
At Tran Redemption in Milford, owner Ty Tran worries the proposed bill would end the business he started in 2011 that gives him and another man "a decent living'' and�recycles "around 100,000 plastic and glass containers�� a month.
The 37-year-old Milford resident is not related to Joseph Tran.
"My business keeps a lot of litter off the streets,�� said Tran, who served three years in the U.S. Army and five years in the National Guard. "We�re the only (redemption) center in Milford. It wouldn�t be good to lose it.��
Now both men are facing dramatic changes that could affect their businesses.
Co-sponsored by Rep. John Biniendra, D-Worcester, and Senator Michael Moore, D-Milbury, the "Act Relative to Improving Recycling in the Commonwealth�� has prompted conflicting responses about the economic and environmental effectiveness of the present system and the proposed plan to replace it.
Based on a program begun in Delaware in 2010, it would replace the 30-year-old system with public drop-off recycling "at places visited by more than 5,000 people per year�� and "single stream curbside recycling�� in which consumers put their containers in small bins provided by municipalities. An independent board would oversee distribution of $35 million in new funds � from a one cent per container fee levied on beverage distributors � would be used to purchase household recycling carts and create programs to discourage littering and promote recycling.
Chris Flynn, president of the Mass. Food Association which supports the proposed bill, said, "The 30-year-old Bottle Law has outlived its usefulness and effectiveness.��
The current system, he said, has "created a logistical and operational nightmare�� for supermarkets and food stores required to recycle containers brought to them.
"It costs three times as much to recycle through the current system,�� said Flynn. "What�s more cost-effective for consumers: Drop containers off at a redemption center or put them in a blue bin at your curb or a nearby site?��
Several organizations, including the Sierra Club, Environmental League of Massachusetts, and MASSPIRG, sharply criticized the bill, charging its passage would represent "an enormous setback for recycling,�� result in the loss of 1,600 jobs and cost municipalities across the state between $76 and $121 million in "unfunded mandated�� costs.
Sierra Club spokesman Phillip Sego claimed passage of the proposed bill would "absolutely decimate the (present) recycling rate,�� lowering it from "about 80 percent down to 23 percent,�� resulting in millions of pounds of containers littered throughout the state. The new proposal, he said, would only give municipalities $9,687 apiece but require them "to spend millions�� to establish public and curbside programs.
But Flynn countered the Sierra Club�s criticism was based on inaccurate and outdated data and "wild assumptions and claims that can�t be validated.��
Since the proposal includes a transition year, many redemption centers could continue to operate as "buy back centers�� for other recyclable materials such as aluminum and glass without job loss.
Flynn said Delaware�s recycling rate is increasing "while ours is stagnant�� because it�s based on human nature.
"The simpler you make it, the more consumers will do it,�� he said. "Would most people prefer an efficient single system or the complicated process we have now of transporting empties to redemption centers?��
State Representative Chris Walsh, D-Framingham, said the old law has been successful "keeping bottles and cans off the streets�� but has also created "a complicated, interwoven system�� that requires bottlers "to have a whole extra recycling business�� of sorting and transporting containers.
"The bottling people have some legitimate issues,�� he said. "I applaud them for putting important issues on the table.��
Yet, Walsh questions whether the current bill would adequately fund the recycling programs that communities would be required to establish.
While people should be encouraged to also recycle water bottles and sports drinks, Walsh acknowledged modifying human behavior to stop littering, including fast food wrappers and lottery tickets, can be a long, slow process.
"How do you get people to change their habits. We need to evolve beyond the current system,�� said Wash. "I�d like to see this bill prompt a conversation between different groups about where do we go with this.��

Amsterdam – September 1, 2009: TomTom WORK, the business-to-business division of TomTom, today announces new features to its WEBFLEET vehicle management and communication system that will help fleet managers to manage their carbon footprint, ultimately reducing their organisation's impact on the environment.
Businesses will be able to run carbon footprint reports on their vehicles – for the whole fleet, a group or an individual. WEBFLEET automatically calculates carbon emissions from the recorded mileage and fuel consumption of the vehicles. Fleet managers can use this information to take steps in reducing the carbon emissions of the fleet.
Another useful function supporting the environment comes with the TomTom WORK Active solution. The LINK 300 device, which goes into every vehicle in the fleet, recognises unnecessary idling time – for example if the engine is left running during a longer standstill. This is reported through the WEBFLEET system, so fleet managers can ensure that this kind of driving behaviour is minimised in the future.
Furthermore, TomTom WORK systems help to improve and optimise the overall eco-friendly driving style in a fleet by detecting and reporting fast acceleration and harsh breaking events that have a negative influence on fuel consumption, carbon emission and the safety of drivers, cars and the total risk profile of the fleet.
«These new features make a real difference to the overall carbon output of a fleet, especially when combined with the overall benefit of reducing the amount of miles driven by smart scheduling, better routing and vehicle management», says Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director TomTom WORK. «As more and more companies are trying to be greener, these will be a welcome addition to our connected navigation solutions.»
As well as looking after the environment, WEBFLEET already enables fleet owners to look after their workforce, by reporting on different and detailed Key Performance Indicators related to the overall efficiency, performance and safety of the whole fleet.

For the first time since the tsunami-induced meltdown at a Fukushima power plant, Japanese health officials have discovered excessive concentrations of radioactive cesium in rice harvested from the region.
The contaminated samples originated from a farm roughly 60 kilometers from the plant-triple the distance of the official Fukushima exclusion zone. While the rice had already been packaged for sale, officials were able to intercept the shipment before it hit market.
This is isn't the first tainted crop discovered since the accident—cesium concentrations exceeding government guidelines have been previously discovered in Japan's meat supply, as well as some dairy and produce items. Local governments throughout the region have set up testing centers to inspect locally-purchased food as a way to help soothe public health concerns.

These interviews were rather formidable, being characterized by a certain stiffness which I felt to be sufficiently irksome at the moment, though it looks laughable enough in the retrospect. It is my firm belief that these fellow-citizens, possessing a native tendency to organization, generally halted outside of the door to elect a speaker, chairman, or moderator, and thus approached me with all the formalities of a deputation from the American people. After salutations on both sides,-- abrupt, awful, and severe on their part, and deprecatory on mine,--and the national ceremony of shaking hands being duly gone through with, the interview proceeded by a series of calm and well-considered questions or remarks from the spokesman (no other of the guests vouchsafing to utter a word), and diplomatic responses from the Consul, who sometimes found the investigation a little more searching than he liked.

BEIJING | Wed Jun 19, 2013
(Reuters) – Courts in China's far western region of Xinjiang have sentenced 19 ethnic Uighurs to up to six years in jail for promoting racial hatred and religious extremism online, in the latest crackdown on what China sees as violent separatists.
All but one of those jailed were from the heavily Uighur southern part of Xinjiang, including eight from the old Silk Road city of Kashgar, the official Legal Daily reported on its website.
Many Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim people who call energy-rich Xinjiang home, chafe at Chinese government restrictions on their culture, language and religion. China says it grants them wide-ranging freedoms.
In one of the cases, the suspect went on illegal websites to download material which "whipped up religious fervor and preached 'holy war'" and "whipped up ethnic enmity", the Legal Daily said in its report late on Wednesday.
"This created a despicable effect on society," the newspaper said, citing the court ruling.
Another suspect was jailed for spreading materials from overseas via the Internet which "advocate religious extremism and terrorism", the newspaper added.
While the report did not specify the ethnicity of those jailed, their names and the location of the courts where they were sentenced indicated they were all Uighurs.
China accuses armed Uighur groups of having links to Central Asian and Pakistani Islamist militants, and of carrying out attacks to establish an independent state called East Turkistan.
Many rights groups say China overplays the threat posed to justify its tough controls in Xinjiang.
The region, which lies strategically on the borders of Central Asia, India and Pakistan, sees frequent outbreaks of ethnic violence.
In April, 21 people were killed in clashes near Kashgar, the deadliest unrest since July 2009, when nearly 200 people were killed in riots in the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi.

You have to expect that things change over a 30-year period, and that's what prompted the Seneca Township planning commission to overhaul the local zoning ordinance book.
Commissioners have met several times in recent months to read through the document first published in 1977.
Actually, state law now requires a review at least every two years, said commission member Allison Ott. She and member John Gould became Certified Citizen Planners through courses provided by the Extension Service to help prepare for the review process.
A public hearing on the commission's suggested changes is scheduled at the township board's Feb. 11 meeting. Township board members will vote in March whether or not to accept the revisions.
When the update is complete and approved, new ordinance books will be published—books that will be easier to understand than the existing form.
For the most part, Ott said, the new version covers corrections, updates and clarifications rather than new additions.

Gayle M. Conley, November 27th , 2018.
If you have an open area dining room that shares a space with a living room or kitchen area, an area rug will help you define the dining room without using walls. Choose a rug that uses colors from adjoining spaces but still defines the space. Therefore a mixture of neutrals from the surrounding rooms with a punch of an accent color to match the dining room chairs would be perfect.
Tray ceilings are a contemporary architectural feature that have ended up in way too many traditional style homes. They try to fill our need for unique detail in our otherwise generic interiors. A tray ceiling, which is an inverted or recessed ceiling, creates the illusion of height. Depending on the type of wood and colors you choose, you can make the room look traditional, contemporary or even rustic. Wooden planks or reclaimed wood are great options for that rustic effect.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
"Almond Eyes Couture" is a fun boutique children's clothing line.
The name "Almond Eyes" was inspired by the almond shaped eyes of my daughter. I want the logo to express upscale quality, but fun whimsey. Our clothing is designed for children 10 years and younger.
Almond Eyes Couture
We are open to any ideas and styles. Logo needs to be pretty simple. It will be used in clothing tags, on letterhead, etc.
I'd be interested in seeing a logo design with a simple drawing of a little girl's face featuring "almond" shaped eyes - something simple, fun, cute. I'll link a photo of my daughter's face to give you an idea of the shape of her face/eyes. Please note: I'm interested in exploring this option in a logo or as a graphic in a logo, but do NOT require this - I'm interested in many various logo ideas - be creative!
Photos: http://tinyurl.com/5up453 http://tinyurl.com/68e2td http://tinyurl.com/5w7eug
We need the logo to be in various formats so that it can be used in many venues. High resolution is VERY important. We'd also like this in vector format as well as .jpg.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
- Open to all designs.
- Sophisticated, yet fun, look!
- Some color - not just plain black and white.
- An overly busy design.

This field is mandatory!
This land is vital to the survival of rare tigers and orang-utans as well as the livelihoods of local people. Unfortunately under this plan, the majority of forested orang-utan habitat will remain unprotected and vulnerable to destruction.
According to the government's own data, the moratorium would fail to protect 45 million hectares of natural forest and peatland, an area almost twice the size of the United Kingdom. It would both fail to stop substantial rainforest destruction and to help Indonesia achieve its target of slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 41%.
In fact, Greenpeace maps created using this data show that the moratorium would only protect an additional 12 million hectares of forest and peatland, much of it located in the least accessible areas of Papua and Kalimantan - which are not under immediate threat of conversion.
Recently, Golden Agri-Resources' (GAR), Indonesia's largest palm oil producer and the Sinar Mas Group's palm oil arm, became an industry leader by announcing a new plan to stop deforestation, which if properly implemented would protect high carbon value forests and areas vital to local livelihoods and habitat critical to the survival of the last remaining tigers and orang-utan populations in the world.
The Government urgently needs to take action to improve the new moratorium and follow the example set by GAR.
By halting further forest clearance, both in new and existing concessions, it would buy time for the government to improve forest governance, develop a plan for low carbon development, and review existing concessions – many of which have been granted illegally.
It would also help create conditions that would provide the industry with incentives to take the leadership needed to make Indonesia a world-class model for low-carbon development. And, it would set a model of good governance, transparency and accountability, to ensure the substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions the world needs to prevent dangerous climate change.
Greenpeace supports the a large coalition of organisations in Indonesia calling on the President to issue a moratorium that is not time-bound, which protects all natural forests and peatlands, including secondary forests. It should apply to areas within existing concessions and those areas granted in principle to industry on 31 December 2010.
Indonesian industry targets for palm oil, pulp and paper, and agriculture could all be met without any additional clearance of natural forests or peatlands through increased productivity of existing yields and other measures.

Students at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) will soon have a new residence on the edge of their campus. C.F. Møller recently won an invitational competition to design the 14-story structure, which is composed of three towers arranged in a circle around a shared common space. The efficient building will meet Denmark's strict low-energy building codes and be surrounded by sustainable landscaping.
C.F. Møller's winning design for a new student housing project at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense is a tower made up of three towers around a common shared space. Privacy and sight lines were high priorities and each of the 250 student rooms enjoys views and balcony. A cluster of rooms becomes a new family unit and is centered around a shared kitchen and living room. These clusters then are attached to a central commons and the heart of the building. The building's design is a careful balance between privacy and community and will provide students with a healthy space in which to study and learn.
The 14-story tower will be built to meet the 2020 Danish low-energy building codes, and will include the use of a highly insulated and airtight building envelope, low-energy pre-fab concrete components, use of natural cross-ventilation, and extensive heat recovery from exhaust air, waste water, and showers. Passive design strategies like the building's shape, orientation, adaptation to climatic conditions, daylighting, ceiling heights and structural thermal mass help reduce energy use. The balconies not only provide extra outdoor living space but also work to manage solar gain and help keep the rooms cool in the summer. Surrounding the building will be carefully designed and sustainable landscaping that provides a balance between maintained areas and nature. Urban gardening, spaces for stormwater runoff and infiltration, recreation and walkways are all designed to protect the soil and wildlife.
Construction is expected to begin in 2013 and be completed by 2015 on this new student housing project.

Economics Homework 1 - Model
Economics Homework - [1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12]
1. Give an example of a "good" not in the lecture, and an example of a "service" not in the lecture.
- Goods are "things" like footballs, cars, hamburgers, iPhones, and candy bars. Services are activities like entertainment (football games), teaching, health care, and advice.
- A "good" can be put in a bag (including a very large bag). A service cannot be put in a bag.
2. Imagine that your family has two options for dinner: eat at home, or go out to eat at McDonald's. Which option incurs more transaction costs? Identify two specific transaction costs. Which option is cheaper for your family, and why?
- Eating at McDonald's incurs greater transaction costs: gasoline for the car trip, wear and tear on the car itself, the time spent traveling to and from McDonald's, waiting for the order to be filled, and the sales tax added on by the cashier. Eating at home incurs only the transaction cost of one trip to a grocery store for many meals, rather than a trip for every meal at McDonald's.
3. Define the concept of "scarcity" in your own words, and give an example of how an increase in scarcity for a good or service increases its price. Your example might be a World Series ticket (a good) or a special medical operation (a service), or anything else you can think of that is "scarce" in an economic sense. Extra credit: when do people exaggerate scarcity in their minds?
- Scarcity refers to goods and services that cost money, which is almost everything. An example of a good that is not scarce is air.
- The scarcer something is, the more expensive it typically is, as illustrated by the examples of gold and diamonds. Sellers try to exaggerate scarcity to increase the price of what they are selling, as in "limited edition," "almost sold out," etc.
4. What is the "invisible hand"? Discuss what it is, using an example (which could be from the story in the lecture about the making of a pencil).
- The invisible hand is an unseen force that causes people to work harder for the benefit of themselves and their families, which results in benefits to others in society too. Someone who sells lemonade on a hot summer day is earning money for himself, but also providing a good that the public wants and benefits from too.
5. There are many parables by Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (and one in Mark) which use familiar concepts of money and economics in order to teach a deeper, more profound spiritual point. Examples are at Matthew 13:18-23 and 44-46; Matthew 18:21-35; Matthew 20:1-16 and 21:33-46; Mark 12:41-44; Luke 7:36-50; Luke 12:13-21; Luke 14:15-24; Luke 15:8-10; Luke 16:1-13 and 19-31; Luke 18:9-14; and Luke 19:11-27. Pick one of these parables and explain both the economic point and the deeper spiritual point. Extra credit: why might the Gospel of Matthew have more economic parables than the Gospel of Mark does?
- Matt 25:14-30 is the Parable of the Talents, in which the master rewards those who work with their talents, and punishes the servant who wasted his talent.
- Extra credit: Matthew had been a tax collector, so the economic parables meant the most to him. Mark was probably a homeschooled child whose mother followed Jesus.
6. "Caveat emptor" or "carpe diem": pick one of these concepts and explain what it means to you.
- "Caveat emptor" means (in Latin) "let the buyer beware": the customer alone has the responsibility ot determining the value of his purchase before he buys something. If he later finds that the good or service was not worth what he paid, then it is his own fault and his own loss.
- "Carpe diem" means (in Latin) "seize the day." Live each day like it is a special opportunity. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today.

The Mighty Mango
Mangoes are a quintessential tropical fruit, and are one of the most commonly eaten fruits worldwide. They were first grown in India more than 5,000 years ago, and in fact, a basket of mangoes can still be considered a sign of friendship in that region. Juicy, sweet and vibrant, mangoes lend a balanced texture and rich flavor to dishes, and are versatile enough to use in fresh recipes all year-round.
How they're grown:
- Mangoes grow on evergreen trees with dense foliage. Regular pruning helps to control their size, as the trees can grow to be over 100' tall.
- Mangoes grow best in tropical climates where the warm, humid air defends them against frost.
- Mango farms often harvest their crops at several staggered times throughout the year. These overlapping growing seasons ensure a steady year-round supply.
- Did you know there are six types of mango? These include the Adaulfo, Haden, Francis, Kent, Keitt and Tommy Atkins varieties. Each variety has a different month of peak availability, and subtle differences in texture and flavor.
How to shop for them:
- Color is not a good sign of ripeness for mangoes. Always check for firmness to know if the fruit is ripe. Give the mango a gentle squeeze; it should yield a little bit to pressure.
- Ripe mangoes tend to have a fruity aroma near their stem.
How to store them:
- Keep unripe mangoes at room temperature. They will continue to ripen and become sweeter over time. Never refrigerate an unripe mango!
- Once a mango has reached the perfect level of ripeness, place it in the fridge. This will "pause" the ripening process.
- Once mangoes are peeled or cut, they can be placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. If frozen, they will keep for up to six months.
How to prepare them:
- Mangoes have a large, flat pit that runs through the center of the fruit. The edible portions are termed "cheeks."
- Start by cutting a small slice from the bottom of the mango to provide a flat surface to work with. Next, peel the mango and set it on your cutting board. Make sure that the wider sides of the fruit are facing out to the side. Now, you can cut the cheeks from the sides of the mango. The center pit will be left standing on the cutting board!
How to eat them:
- Add diced mango to a fruity pasta salad. Try combining it with blueberries, raspberries, spinach, feta cheese and raspberry vinaigrette.
- You can combine diced mango with red onion, cucumber and fresh cilantro for a delicious salsa combo. Serve with grilled shrimp or chicken for added flavor!
- Make coconut mango overnight oatmeal. Simply combine ½ cup oats, ½ cup milk (any kind), ½ cup diced mango, 1 tablespoon shredded coconut and 1 teaspoon honey in a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator overnight, then simply stir and eat the next morning!
- Rather than a creme brulee, try mango brulee. Simply sprinkle two mango cheeks with sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Then, caramelize under the broiler or using a kitchen torch. It's fancy, easy and more nutritious than traditional creme brulee, not to mention dairy-free!
- Mango and fresh basil pair well together. Toss together grilled chicken slices, cooked quinoa, diced fresh basil and cubed mango. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar for a quick dinner.
- The next time you make fish tacos, add diced mango for tropical flavor and a spot of color.
- Include mangoes in your next meat marinade, as they help tenderize meat.
Nutritional highlights:
- Fresh mangoes are naturally fat-free, gluten-free, sodium-free and contain no cholesterol.
- One cup of diced mango contains only 100 calories. It also provides 100% of the daily recommended value of vitamin C, and 35% of the daily value of vitamin A.
- Mangoes are a good source of fiber, copper and vitamin B6.

On view
Nicknamed Rossellino ("little redhead"), Antonio belonged to a prominent family of sculptors and painters in Florence. His crowning achievement was the tomb of the Cardinal of Portugal in San Miniato al Monte, Florence, begun in 1461, a brilliant monument that combined architecture, sculpture and painting. Antonio also produced smaller works, including Madonna and Child reliefs and tabernacles, meant to hold the Eucharist or a sacred relic. This tabernacle—likely incorporated into a wall above an altar, rather than freestanding—combines a variety of media in a manner that was still novel at that time.
Stylistic elements inspired by classical sources inform the architectural schema of the relief, from the fluted Corinthian pilasters flanking the barrel- vaulted hall to the entablature capped with a cornice. The ensemble is organized around a one-point perspective centered on the gilt bronze door adorned with the figure of a bishop. Antonio's foreshortening of the vaulted ceiling and other elements increases the sense of spatial illusion. His love of ornamental detail is evident in the festoons and the porphyry medallion of the frieze. Tiny holes that have been drilled into the marble add emphasis and sparkle to the details of the angels' hair and the cherubim in the spandrels.

The "rocket" part of the name is meant to represent the "shoot for the stars" (and acheive your goals) aspect of starting a new business.
Am concerned that the logo needs to look professional and serious, but still have a hint of fun and web 2.0 about it.

green ... new visitors
red ... current MBA students
pink ... inventors / non-MBA entrepreneurs
blue ... advisors
orange ... previous MBA students
silver ... successful business people / entrepreneurs
gold ... venture capitalists and investors
If a picture of a rocket is used, I see it being coloured red.Â

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen. I started furling thread leaders about a year ago. For simplicity, I'm just going to give an example of my general process, so don't get hung up on anything specific. Just consider the general process:
I have an 8 foot furling board (jig) with "leg stations" along both "sides", a "tip-end station" placed in the center of one end, and at the other end I have a wood block with three removable hooks. (One for each leg, and another in the middle.)
I tie the thread to the hook corresponding to the "leg" I'm starting with, and take it down to the first station of that "leg". I go around this station and then back up to the hook and go around it. I repeat this based upon the formula I'm using and the number of "loops" it calls for. Once the number of "loops" for station one have been made, the thread passes station one and continues on down to station two, wrapping it and coming back to station one, where-in the thread is passed through the loops created there, and then brought back down to station two again. Thus utilizing stations 1 and 2 to create the second set of loops. This process is repeated until the number of loops for station two are complete, and then the thread is passed on to station three where the process is repeated utilizing stations 2 and 3 to form the loops. This continues until all stations down one "leg" are completed and the "tip end" station (which is common to both legs) is being utilized. Once the number of loops for the first leg of the tip station are completed, the thread passes around the "tip station" and "reverses" itself going up the other "leg" of the board, and the entire process is repeated (except in reverse order) finally completing with the thread being tied to its' corresponding hook. From there I clamp the end of the "tip end" loop. Once done I begin the furling of each leg by twisting them (independently but the same amount) in the same direction. Once that is done, while retaining even tension on each leg, I transfer them to the same hook, unclamp the "tip end", and with the tip end "heavily" weighted, I let the two legs "spin" together. Once the leader is done spinning, I put a shorb loop in the end and it's ready to fish.
Now there may be a better way to do all this, and perhaps that is where my real question lies. Because I am not unhappy with my results. But there is NO WAY I can make a nice leader in ten minutes, let alone in five. It takes me longer than that just to get the thread on the jig. For me a good leader is at least a 15 minute venture, and more like 20-30 minutes. Also, I can't tell you how many times I've broken thread at the "tip-end" when furling a leg. (Generally because I'm trying for a tighter "furl", or trying to "hurry" the process.)
I can make a Singapore Twist (furling without jigs...) using mono pretty quickly, but even that takes me a good five minutes to make a "nice" one. So how is it that I so often read about someone making furled thread leaders in five minutes or so? What am I doing wrong? Is there some other technique that everyone is using that I'm ignorant of?
Thanks for the help/insight.

And it all started so well. Ra Ra Riot's second record conveniently mirrors their career to date. There's so much promise here. But something seems to have veered from the right path, slightly. Regularly compared to Vampire Weekend - which gives the band added exposure but also places them in a pretty frightening shadow - Ra Ra Riot are obviously keen to pitch their picnic blankets on the campus knoll with a greater sense of conviction. _The Orchard_ is really an attempt to do just that, to communicate a little more like the older, more life-worn George Falconer and a little less like the rosy-cheeked Kenny Potter, whose wayward emotions were the same sort of emotions that permeated the band's generally impressive debut, The Rhumb Line.
At risk of bringing their vampiric cousins into this particular equation too much, the things that separated the bands back then separate them even more now. If Vampire Weekend are seemingly adept at and quite happy highlighting the eccentricity and social foibles of the middle-upper gentry, Ra Ra Riot are more comfortable translating more well-trodden foundations of songwriting, namely heartbreak, unexplainable bouts of sadness, and fear and anxiety. But it is this lugubriousness that got people rightly excited about Ra Ra Riot in the first place. It gave their first album improbable depth and heart (for a band with a sounds-like-VW tag) and presented one or two more faces than Ezra did with his his fixated, and rightly self-contented smirk.
Sadly for the Syracuse, NY band, their preference for solemnity doesn't always translate quite as effectively here as it did with their debut. Which is surprising, as with innocence shed, and with the songs taking on greater musical and emotional complexity and texture there is more actual substance here. Perhaps it's merely an illustration of how great they are at producing tight, high-calibre indie-pop tracks and how these tracks expose the weaknesses of the others. Both 'Boy' and 'Too Dramatic' are as close to intravenous pop as you can get. They're likely to make pretty much anyone smile and dance around a bit, something that actually feels quite refreshing given the recent dearth of decent, straightforward indie-pop.
But in contrast, tracks like 'Do You Remember' and 'You And I Know' drift a little too uncomfortably, especially lyrically, without any real sense that they'll offer anything more with time. Some of The Orchard is really only worth visiting once and even then you'll be looking at your watch or thinking about the coffee and cakes being served up in the nearby country café. Other tracks such as the worryingly half-hearted 'Kansai' just sound a bit like crap Fleetwood Mac. The song's shorthand attempts at mysticism - "_There's something else / I thought about / the universe / when it's merciful_" - may make for sweet poetry, but the attachment of these lyrics to meaningful melodies falters. This is a band that can do so much better than this.
Besides the pop successes and rank disappointments, The Orchard is still curious and pretty enough to be worth exploring. The opening title track is particularly strong. As a single piece, it seems to sonify the aim of the majority of the record. Musically complex and with no real chorus, it's really more a beguiling platform for Wes Miles' delicate vocal charms, but it's also a place where this band can experiment and find their true selves. The same can be said of the sweetly meandering love of 'Foolish' and addictive vocal harmonics of 'Massachusetts'. Closing track, 'Keep It Quiet' ends the record in the same promising vein that it began. Stopping short of outright pop and heading in a direction that has yet to fully materialise, let's hope things eventually progress for Ra Ra Riot as well as they started.
