The 4-tine models range from 0.5 to 3 cubic yards, while the 5-tine models range from 0.5 to 1.8 cubic yards.
Rotobec's new grapples also offer an option to include an integrated magnet, which is effective for scrap yard clean-up or material separation, says the company. Features and options include an interlocked head structure, enclosed cylinder guards and Rotobec-patented RT rotators.

Ghost In The Bedroom
by M.A. Harper

Award-winning chef Phil Randazzo, and his anthropologist wife, Michelle, are as happy as any newlyweds with five kids and a ton of history. But something's eerily amiss.
They've been married less than a year and already there's someone else – at least it's starting to seem that way.
First Hendrix the cat's developed a new trick, but how does a flesh-and-blood feline walk through walls? Maybe with help from his best friend on The Other Side? Then there was that dude Phil saw upstairs Thanksgiving Day. Only nobody was there. But the odd thing was that "nobody" looked exactly like Michelle's dead husband, Cajun musician A.P. Savoie. Her really really handsome and much-missed dead husband. Who died all too suddenly.
Can it be he wants her back?
City of Angels
by James Scott Bell
Still free? Click Here to find out!
The courtrooms of 1903 Los Angeles are a man's world – until Kit Shannon arrives…
With shoulders squared and dreams set high, Kit Shannon arrives in Los Angeles feeling a special calling to the law. Yet under the care of her socialite aunt, Kit quickly comes to realize that few understand her burning desire to seek justice and practice a profession known only to men. When her aunt adamantly refuses to support her unconventional career aspirations, Kit questions whether she is truly following God's will. And when her growing love for a man pledged to another threatens scandal, Kit knows her days might be numbered in Los Angeles.
A chance meeting with Earl Rogers, the city's most prominent criminal lawyer, garners Kit an apprentice position. And work on a notorious murder case. Someone has been killing prostitutes in Los Angeles, but Kit is certain it is not Rogers' client. Determined to find the truth, Kit runs full on into forces that want to stop her, forces that stretch all the way to the citadels of power in the City of Angels.
[Hot Deal] Moving Day – Save 87%
Moving Day
Forty years' accumulation of art, antiques, and family photographs are more than just objects for Stanley Peke – they are proof of a life fully lived. A life he could have easily lost long ago.
When a con man steals his houseful of possessions in a sophisticated moving-day scam, Peke wanders helplessly through his empty New England home, inevitably reminded of another helpless time: decades in Peke's past, a cold and threadbare Stanislaw Shmuel Pecoskowitz eked out a desperate existence in the war-torn Polish countryside, subsisting on scraps and dodging Nazi soldiers. Now, the seventy-two-year-old Peke – who survived, came to America, and succeeded – must summon his original grit and determination to track down the thieves, retrieve his things, and restore the life he made for himself.
Peke and his wife, Rose, trace the path of the thieves' truck across America, to the wilds of Montana, and to an ultimate, chilling confrontation with not only the thieves but also with Peke's brutal, unresolved past.

A bittersweet reunion. A second chance at happiness. The daughter who may never forgive them both.
Champion bronc rider Jake Rollins never intended to go back to Happy, Texas and its memories of lost love. That changes when he meets Leigh and suspects she's his daughter. Jake arrives in Happy determined to get to know her and to find out the truth. The only problem is, Anna Connor, Leigh's mother, doesn't want him in their lives. At first she won't even admit he's Leigh's father.
Sixteen years ago, Jake left Anna with a phone call telling her he'd married another woman. Devastated and pregnant, Anna married Jake's best friend, Carl Connor. Together they raised the daughter Jake never knew about.
But Anna's a widow now and even more irresistible than she'd been as a girl. Will it be enough for Jake to tell Anna that leaving her was the worst mistake he ever made? Can he convince her he's changed?
Jake and Anna fall in love again, but it's far from smooth sailing. Leigh's response to the news that Jake is her biological father is anything but good. Jake and Anna must decide between their love for each other and the future of the daughter they love.

Committee on Science and Engineering Indicators (SEI)
The Science and Engineering Indicators Committee oversees the preparation, review and distribution
of the biennial report, Science and Engineering Indicators (Indicators), authorized by the National
Science Foundation Act of 1950 (42 U.S.C. 1863 (j)(1)):
The Board shall render to the President and the Congress no later than January 15 of each even
numbered year, a report on indicators of the state of science and engineering in the United States.
The Committee offers guidance on content, organization, and presentation of data in the Indicators biennial
report, the Digest of Key Science and Engineering Indicators, and other related products; ensures
that the Indicators report addresses national issues that concern stakeholders in the Federal Government
and the U.S. science and engineering community; and keeps the Board informed on trends and other data with
significant policy implications identified during the production of Indicators. Drawing on data prepared
for the biennial Indicators report, the Committee recommends priority science and engineering policy
issues for Board attention and oversees the development and publication of "companion piece" policy statements by
the Board under the authority of the NSF Act (42 U.S.C. 1863 (j)(2)):
The Board shall render to the President and the Congress reports on specific, individual policy matters related
to science and engineering and education in science and engineering, as the Board, the President, or the Congress
determines the need for such reports.
The Committee undertakes efforts to expand awareness and distribution of Indicators data for support of science and
engineering policy decisions at all levels of government and to inform the Federal government and the public of important
data and trends reflecting the condition of U.S. science and engineering.

The InnCrowd Hostel
It's not easy being popular
What we say:
The InnCrowd has long been a backpacker crash-pad of choice in the Little India area of Singapore, and while it had been substantially renovated since our last stay, it remains a great value and very sociable old-style hostel.
Our stay at InnCrowd was in an eight-bed dorm on the first floor (private double and triple rooms are also available), looking over Dunlop Street. We arrived after midnight, but front desk staff waited up to sort us out with bedding and a key for the hostel, while a bunch of travellers sat around in the downstairs common area, some chatting and some watching a movie.
The "InnCrowd reception" even before arrival was good, as when I noted I wouldn't be flying in till around 23:00 a staffer emailed me back explaining that the MRT would be closed by the the time I cleared customs and made suggestions for alternative ways into town. While I didn't need this extra information, first timers to Singapore would certainly appreciate it.
The dorm wasn't one of the most spacious we tried out, but there was enough room to move around without tripping over too many backpacks. Once we clamoured into the upper bunk, we slept well. It's a tough decision between providing enough locker space or enough space to move; in this case, perhaps because some of the others were travelling with so.much.crap, either more space to move in or more space to stick backpacks would have been good.
Bathrooms are shared and there were certainly enough, with no queuing in the morning. Everything, while not sparkling, was more than adequately clean.
Like BetelBox in Joo Chiat, InnCrowd has a very well-earned reputation for its social atmosphere and the range of activities you can do from here. While we were just here for the one night (and a late arrival at that) we can attest to the social feel from previous stays at InnCrowd. The morning of our stay the ground floor area was humming with travellers, some making their plans for the day, others catching up on Facebook or just having breakfast at the shared dining tables. And while there is free WiFi throughout and a big flatscreen TV here, both of which are common features in Singapore hostels, InnCrowd just felt more sociable and less like everyone was gazing into their phones.
The location on Dunlop Street places you right in the midst of Singapore's colourful Little India, so you'll have ample choice for South Asian dining and if you happen to be in need of a cheap phonecard for calling Bangladesh, you're most certainly in the right part of town. Boozing options nearby include the Prince of Wales Pub and there's some decent Thai food on offer at Spicy Thai Thai on Dickson Road, just around the corner.
Sights wise, this is a great area just for wandering around, though wherever you wander make sure you take in Tekka Centre Market. Technologists and camera shoppers may also want to swing by Sim Lim Square, though bargain hard!
The 11:00 check out is a bit of a drag, but they'll let you use the showers and so on plus store your bag should you need to after vacating your dorm.
If you're a single traveller wanting to meet up with others and have a keen interest in South Asian food, you'll probably fit right in here and feel well at home. InnCrowd is a great place for meeting other travellers and offers good value dorm accommodation. Check it out!

We thought Mila Kunis couldn't outdo herself after her amazing award season looks last year, but she's managed to prove us dead wrong. The actress and presenter wore a black chiffon dress from Christian Dior's Spring 2012 collection, and paired the gorgeous gown with Cartier jewels. Mila opted for a sleek, slicked-back do (something we've been seeing a lot of tonight, no?) and black cat-eye liner. What's your verdict on Mila's look?Vote on all of our Golden Globe Awards polls here!

SLASH Tickets
SLASH and his bandmates Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators have today announced that they will be returning to the UK this November/December to play arenas across the country as part of a European tour in support of their upcoming album WORLD ON FIRE.
Slash feat Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators tickets are available now on Aloud.com
The tour will hit arenas in Manchester, Leeds, Bimringham, London and Glasgow.
WORLD ON FIRE will be released on September 15 via SLASH's own label Dik Hayd International distributed through Roadrunner Records (Europe, Middle East, Africa, & Latin America).
Featuring the blazing title track as the first single the disc marks SLASH's third solo album and second one with his band featuring MYLES KENNEDY (vocals), BRENT FITZ (drums) and TODD KERNS (bass).
For WORLD ON FIRE, SLASH and his band tapped Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Alter Bridge, Falling In Reverse, Incubus) to produce. Among the 17 songs is an instrumental--a powerful new turn for the band.
WORLD ON FIRE is the follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed Apocalyptic Love which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and earned SLASH two No. 1 U.S. rock radio hits--his first-ever solo--with "You're A Lie" and "Standing In The Sun."
SLASH officially began recording as a solo artist with his self-titled 2010 debut album which employed a different vocalist on each track of his first album including Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie and Myles Kennedy among others.
SLASH and Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators have announced a full European tour in November and December 2014.
Check out the exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary SLASH's "Real To Reel" at slashonline.com
The innovative online series documented the entire in-studio recording process from the first day of recording to the last; the multi-segment fly-on-the wall series follows Slash and The Conspirators from pre-production at NRG Studios in Los Angeles to Studio Barbarossa in Florida, as they write, play, create and record WORLD ON FIRE from start to finish.
SLASH has amassed album sales of over 100 million copies, garnered a GRAMMY Award and seven GRAMMY nominations and was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Time magazine named SLASH #2, behind Jimi Hendrix, on its "The Ten Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time" list. SLASH helped create signature sounds like the guitar riff on #1 hits for Guns N Roses "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Welcome To The Jungle." After leaving the band, SLASH went on to critical acclaim with SLASH's Snakepit and global success with the supergroup Velvet Revolver.
SLASH landed on the top of the charts with his first solo album, Slash (2010) which featured Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie and more. SLASH and his band featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators released the critically acclaimed Apocalyptic Love (2012) which stormed the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart at #4 as the top rock debut and produced his first-ever #1 rock radio solo hits: "You're A Lie" and "Standing In The Sun."

@synaesthesia, Im sure it probably is legal, but there is a big difference between legality and morality...
I used to work in the copier industry when it was at it's dirtiest and ended up an outcast as I turned "expert witness" for a city barrister against similar organisations.
Even the manufacturers back the contract initiators as it means they keep selling boxes. Unless you can prove that the contract has been broken or mis-sold in the first place eg. they installed a 90cpm copier in a staff room that only does 30 prints a month your pretty much knee deep in doodoo.
@BirmITSU seek the legal advice of your LEA if you think you are being had over, or look for a class action that might be in progress I cant remember how many it takes to get this sort of thing handed over to the courts so it doesnt cost you anything to participate but I know a lot of small businesses got out of a lot of trouble by joining them.
Essex CC have a specialist legal dept for these matters I guess your own LEA will have a similar service.
School's News Letter - Essex Legal Services
However being in Brum and seeing that most of your establishments have already been assimilated into the BSF you may have already given up any chance of escaping as such as Danwood appear to be the "preferred provider" in many of these expertly negotiated managed services.
In the meantime I would refrain from discussing any details of your own contractual predicament on these forums as these are not usually very nice people to upset.

The idea is that you sing a melody line, and UJam provides a musical arrangement for your tune. As a musician myself, this looks like just the job for getting ideas and sketches done quickly.

I can see this being popular with the kids - everyone's a rock star.

"You've changed, you've changed, you really have," Levi tells Amy at the start of this, the season one finale of Enlightened (which may or may not be renewed for a second season). It's a powerful few words from a sweaty, strung-out ex-husband, huddled in more

In a generous twist, the penultimate episode of this season of Enlightened takes us outside Amy's head and inside her mother Helen's. It's an extraordinary thing. Switching perspectives from our self-involved heroine is a useful way to, among other things more
by Ny Mag Vulture | Nov 30, 2011 3:10PM EST
This program arose from two things: Mike White's interest in telling a story about a mental breakdown, inspired by his own experience, and Laura Dern's interest in telling a story about activism, inspired by the 2008 Obama campaign. That the United States more

Near the end of this episode, Amy is in Tyler's car, talking about herself again. "Are you looking for something that's missing?" she asks herself out loud, wondering why she'd gone over to Levi's house in the middle of the night at the beginning of the e more

The thing about casting: It can be so surprising that it makes the production in question even more comforting than it already is, being fictional and colorful and, in the case of Enlightened , relatable. When Robin Wright's wise and beautiful face shows more

T-Mobile customers can request $40 or more refunds for bogus phone "cramming" charges of premium SMS services from 2009 through 2013.
After a July complaint was filed by the Federal Trade Commission, the carrier has set aside $50 million to reimburse current and former customers for illegal billing of text messaging programs provided by third-party content companies that may have appeared on bills from 2009 through 2013. The company denied wrongdoing, but has since taken steps to settle the matter with the FTC.
Customers can request a free account summary and then ask for specific refunds with proof of unauthorized bills. Another option is to request a flat $40 refund. Those who accept the refund agree to release any legal claims against T-Mobile.
AT&T customers can also claim $105 million in refunds in a settlement the carrier made with the FTC in early October.
At least 20 million unsuspecting mobile customers have been scammed, the FTC says of the practice which was common in...Read more

Unknown territory
11:11 a.m. — 5400 block of GMD. Public Service. A woman and her husband found that their bags were in disarray and $2,325 worth of items were missing after returning from a trip to Jordan, Israel, and other locations.

MERRILLVILLE | More and more people are using single-load detergent packets when washing their dishes or doing their laundry -- instead of measuring out the cleaning agent and maybe spilling some in the process.
A Northwest Indiana company that makes the water-soluble film that contains the detergent is growing to keep up with runaway popularity of Tide Pods and other one-use capsules. The laundry pods are little more than a year old but already have grabbed 8 percent of the market share.
Merrilville-based MonoSol, which has production facilities in Portage, LaPorte and the United Kingdom, plans to hire an additional 100 employees over the next 12 to 18 months to keep pace with consumer demand. The company is in the middle of a $39 million expansion at its LaPorte plant, and is already looking at building another manufacturing facility.
No location has been picked out yet, but MonoSol President and CEO P. Scott Bening said he is committed to continue to build and expand in the region.
"We are presently expanding in LaPorte, Ind., to meet customer demand," Bening said. "This expansion phase will continue through next year followed by another program already underway. Site selection is in full gear, and we plan to announce the groundbreaking for our next manufacturing site early next year."
MonoSol, which is owned by the Japanese manufacturing firm Kuraray Co., is looking at potential locations all over the world but leaning toward another factory in Northwest Indiana.
"Our excellent local resources – from water to natural gas and, most importantly, people – helps to have this region continually rise to the top when we consider global options for expansion," he said.
MonoSol, which employs around 400 workers, dominates the global market for water-soluble film for dishwasher capsules such as Cascade Action Pacs. The company supplies nearly all the film for detergent packets to companies around the world, including the Persil and Ariel detergent brands that are popular in Europe. MonoSol maintain a market share of more than 90 percent.
Over the last four years, the company has increased its workforce by nearly 80 percent.
"In these challenging business times, growth is a great problem to have," said John Gornto, director of human resources. "We expect to be hiring an additional 100 employees over the next 12 to 18 months – 70 percent of which will be on the manufacturing side and the others in professional positions from scientists and engineers to marketing, sales and administrative associates."
MonoSol plans to start hiring as soon as January, spokesman Matt Scearce said. Most of the new jobs will be in LaPorte, but a variety of positions will need to be filled at all its facilities. MonoSol, for instance, will need chemists at its research and development center in Merrillville, where its corporate offices are housed.
The company offers competitive salaries and benefits.
As it gears up for growth, MonoSol just reached a new five-year labor contract with workers at its LaPorte facility, who are represented by Teamsters Union Local 135. The renewed agreement provides for wage and benefit increases as MonoSol expands, and will take effect Dec. 5.

A Kind of Magic – Myspace Music Fan Video
22nd January 10
Posted in creativity, interactive, music
Posted by Fran Hazeldine (@franhazeldine), Planning Director, BBH London
'Myspace is dying'. How many times have you heard or read that in recent months? It's not a hard conclusion to reach from recent visitor trends.
But speak to some of the guys here at BBH London and they'll tell you a different story. For the past few months they've been working with our Myspace clients on the UK relaunch of Myspace Music. It's a revolutionary platform for the stream and share generation, and they've created some really smart and engaging work to promote it. Will that be enough to kickstart a turnaround? Only time and data will tell. But it's a good excuse to share some wider thoughts on the kind of work we get excited about at the London office.
The campaign started back in December, when 9 artists revealed the music they love in a series of interactive films showcasing the new music player. The idea was to bring fans closer to their favourite artists, reinforcing the core Myspace offer of music community.
Building on this idea, the team have created a new set of films starring Fiddy, Florence, Furtado – and you. Visitors to Myspace.com/fanvideo can create a playlist of videos, log in with Myspace ID or Facebook Connect, then sit back and watch as the artists take turns to make a personal dedication. If you're feeling friendly, you can also give a load of your Myspace / Facebook pals the super-fan treatment.
Sure, most of us have seen personalised video apps before. But I do think the Fan Video app moves things on a bit. In fact, I think it's made with three fresh ingredients that will be part of the mix in most of our best BBH London work this year.
Agency types get very excited about whizzy new technologies. Apparently, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". And boy, do we love magic. It's what our clients pay big bucks for. We spend countless hours trying to conjure up little bits of it. So when ACME Tech serves up another massive blob of ready-made magic there's a rush to give it a branded twist. AR bog roll? Awesome!
Problem is, some of this pure techy magic is losing its allure. Out in the real world people are suffering innovation fatigue. They've seen a thousand tech firsts and the give-a-fuck bar is iPhone high. You can dress that bog roll up in in AR magic clothes, but it's still just bog roll. Where's the good stuff? The funny, emotional, cool stuff? What's there to LOVE?
With the Myspace Fan Videos, the magic isn't in the tech. It's in the moment when 50 Cent hangs a picture of you on his wall, or Alicia Keys sings you a song. Sure the magic is tech-fuelled, but it's the twisted cultural content, the playful reference to things I love or hate, that really makes it. Tech is the means, not a magical end in itself.
Tech magic is out. Loveable magic is in.
One of the things we've become more and more sure of as an agency is that we can't do everything. Not on our own, anyway. And certainly not to the 'best in class' standard our clients demand. We've got bags of creative talent in the building, but to make truly awesome, loveable magic, we need the help of great craftsmen from outside BBH. These aren't just suppliers or production companies. They won't settle for a white label. These are creative partners who respect the vision, shape the execution and share the credit.
I spoke to Dom Goldman, the BBH Creative Director on this project, and it was refreshing to hear him say that the Myspace Fan Videos couldn't have been made without Pulse Films (who shot them), Absolute Post (who did the post production), and Domani Studios (who built the application). More importantly, they couldn't have been made without genuine collaboration between that network of partners. Let's call this process 'collaborative craft'.
If you watch the Alicia video carefully, you can see the reflection of your Facebook profile pic in the glossy piano surface. That isn't off-the-shelf tech. That's collaborative craft. Dom's creative team obsessed over those art directional details. Absolute advised on special filmic effects. And Domani coded away until they were subtlely, perfectly achieved.
We sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that people can't wait to participate in marketing, and will happily jump through branded hoops.
Most personalisation apps I've used in the past have asked me to answer several questions or find and upload an image. Sharing has tended to mean entering lists of email addresses or choosing from lists of buttons. Those are pretty big demands at every step of the experience.
By focusing on the simple and specific request for your Facebook Connect login, the Myspace Fan Video app makes that experience faster, simpler and more porno izle spreadable (auto-post your fan video to newsfeed, batch-create fan videos for your friends). The use of Connect also amplifies the magic. You don't know the app has scraped your Facebook profile image until you see it spinning round on David Guetta's turntable.
Stepping back from the content, it's just very cool to offer Facebook login for a Myspace promotion. That's confident, user-centric behaviour. It makes my life a little more convenient. It says "we're not trying to replace Facebook, we're different".
And isn't that all Myspace need to say, really?

We Need Your Help with Pencils of Promise: one click, ten seconds, is all it takes
18th January 10
Posted in Sustainability
We need your help.
Aside from reading this (60 seconds) we also need just 10 seconds of your time.
If we can persuade enough people to give us 10 seconds and one click, we'll help achieve something extremely worthwhile.
Read on . . .
In between some fairly insanely busy day jobs, a few BBHers from our New York office have been busy on a project called 'Pencils of Promise' (PoP), a startup non-profit organization dedicated to building sustainable education in the developing world. PoP is one of one hundred organizations participating in a $1MM competition (sponsored by Chase) called the Chase Community Giving Program. The competition is being run through Facebook as a voting contest, and the organization that receives the most votes will receive a $1MM grant. The five runners up will each receive $100,000. Voting ends Jan 22nd.
PoP is (as of today, Sunday morning ET) in 9th position, but only 1000 votes off the top 5 and 20,000 votes off top spot. Most of the organizations participating are leveraging massive databases and established relationships with celebrities to spread the word. Fair play. PoP doesn't have that, so BBH Labs is attempting to activate our extended network of friends, bloggers and tweeters to spread the word today and activate some votes.
Pencils of Promise is also well-placed to make an immediate impact in light of last weeks horrific events in Haiti. With a commitment to sustainability and on-the-ground impact, the organization has committed, should they win the grand prize, at least $100,000 to youth focused projects in Haiti; they will personally oversee and develop these. That seems pretty awesome to us; once the immediate emergency aid is up and running it's clear that the young people of Haiti are going to be central to the recovery. In it's modest way, this should help.
Please help PoP and do two things . . . ideally right now:
1. Vote for PoP on Facebook: http://bit.ly/4DYKIV
2. We don't usually ask for RTs at Labs but we think this is an exception, so please retweet the tweet that sent you here, or cut and paste this into Twitter:

For a 99 second intro on YouTube: youtube.com/pencilsofpromise
Pencils of Promise is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that builds sustainable schools, partnerships and solutions to enable basic education for under-served children in the developing world. Pencils of Promise is a passionate community of individual volunteers dedicated to empowering each person regardless of status or position to make a positive impact on the world.
Founded in October 2008, PoP uses for-profit business principles and non-profit ideals to work to empower Western youth to use their skills, abilities and networks to participate in the nonprofit process in a meaningful way. With more than 75 million children in the world without access to a preschool education, PoP helps bridge the gap of inadequate educational resources for the world's most impoverished children.
In 2009, the organization's first year of operation, Pencils of Promise raised over $150,000 in donations through fundraising events and donor support, built three schools in Laos, and established a presence in more than 20 cities and college campuses throughout the country. In 2010, Pencils of Promise has goals to attract 5,000 new supporters across the globe, to build seven more schools in committed villages in Laos, Haiti and Nicaragua, and to continue to identify additional areas of impact around the world.

A Quick Glance Back – 10 of Our Favourite Posts From 2009
29th December 09
Posted in BBH Labs
What a year. Here within the BBH Labs team we've had our ups and our downs. But we've been facing only forwards. We thought today might be the one day of the year we allow ourselves a sneaky peek backwards. In particular in regard to our little blog.
This blog's grown from nothing, through embryonic to, well, at least something approaching pre-pubescence. Whilst we've not shared as much as we had hoped in these pages, since launching on April Fool's Day 2009 we've managed around 70 posts.
Looking back through the content it's reassuring (at least to us) that we've managed a fair degree of consistency in terms of the topics we've posted on, with some key themes emerging as core areas of Labs' interest. We didn't plan this when we started, it just happened. (We outline these themes – with links to example posts – underneath this list of our Favourite 10 from 2009.)
What made most of the posts even remotely interesting to start with was the commenting and opinion shared on the blog in response to them. We'd like to thank all those who took time not just to read but to improve our thoughts. We massively value your contribution, and we always look forward to reading your input, however challenging or provocative.
More than anything, even more than the 900+ comments on these posts, what we've taken out of this first eight months of Labs blogging are some great new friends, partners & teachers. Long after the frothy excitement around this app or that platform recedes, and even after the buzz around great work might fade into Awards annuals, it's this side of the blog that we will value most highly.
Happy New Year. See you in 2010. Mel, Pats, Ben
* * * *
So, we thought we'd fish out ten posts that we either particularly enjoyed putting together, or that triggered a debate from which we learned a lot (often, it was both). Here they are, with links (via titles) to the originals & original comments.
1. The Battle Between Art & The Algorithm
The onset of increasingly 'perfect' information would suggest that the content we are served is ever more relevant, the choices we make are ever easier, and our levels of satisfaction should never have been higher (think the ultra relevance of Netflix, Fresh Direct, SatNav, Amazon recommends, Facebook suggests, Google search). We argue here, however, that this rise in relevance amounts to nothing less than the 'end of surprise', and that comes with a cost (think The Truman Show meets Minority Report). We focus on the opportunity: a role for genuinely inventive, interactive and surprising content and experiences in an era where the rough edges are too often being smoothed away.
Crowdsourcing a Holiday Playlist: Taped Together
24th December 09
Posted in crowdsourcing, music
2009 undoubtedly has been the year when the 'crowd' really came into its own. As the year drew to a close, it seemed like it might be a fun (okay, also possibly foolish) idea to attempt to create the world's first crowd-curated holiday playlist.
Whilst I'd tinkered with this in fairly samizdat fashion at the end of November, the idea properly came to life when Maria Popova (@brainpicker) – the undisputed queen of online cultural curation and author of, amongst other things, Brain Pickings – got in touch. She suggested we create an audio tumblr together and see if we could find 31 people to curate one, great, vaguely seasonal track for every day in December.
So far, 24 days and around a 1000 plays later, it's a fairly diverse collection of music and commentary: by turns happy, nostalgic, darkly funny, triumphant, moving, warm, sad and – if you ask us – all of it pretty downright wonderful.
We hope people have had as much fun as we have getting involved and watching it unfold. Maria and I will say thank you properly to everyone when the project completes at the end of the month, but in the meantime please keep checking out the site, listen to the smorgasbord of tracks we've had in so far and read what the curators have had to say about the music they've chosen. rokettube For more about Taped Together, check it out here.
The full and final playlist will be made available as a download to anyone who'd like one, please check out the site for details at the end of this month.
Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone.

We need your help.
We're after a big room, studio or small stage in NYC for three days in January (14-16th). We're trying to find a space where we can re-create the Chrome Features short films we've just made for Google.
For a start, we want to have a little party, and January seems like a good time to be doing that. But we'd like to open it up to anyone who wants to come along and have a look at how they were made. redtube The space needs to be around 60 x 40 ft, with – ideally – some good height to the ceiling.

The future of digital magazines: Mag+
18th December 09
Posted in design, technologyhttp://www.vimeo.com/8217311
We were stopped in our tracks by this concept video from the design consultancy Berg for Bonnier R&D. There is a fluidity and beauty to the design that suggests a significant step forward from the first generation, 'push button' e-readers. We particularly liked the fact the prototype (which makes its debut around 1 minute in) suggests it has been designed to create a better reading experience, as opposed to recreating slavishly the experience of reading a magazine. Not that this has been ignored: Berg make the point that magazines still arrive in separate issues, for the simple reason that "people like the sense of completion at the end of each."
You move through the magazine by scrolling articles placed side-by-side (they call it a 'mountain range') and whilst they were aiming to create a "a space for quiet reading. It's pleasant to have an uncluttered space", you can heat up the words and pics to share, comment, and to dig into supplementary material. It certainly seems a logical and neat way to resolve the oft-discussed need to balance our thirst for more, more, more information, with the requirement to concentrate on one thing from time to time.
If you've been following the fortunes of e-readers, none of this may sound particularly radical. The bit that's impressive is the execution. And, in their own words, Bonnier are interested in "sparking a discussion around the digital reading experience in general, and digital reading platforms in particular."
That discussion is certainly happening. Aside from the general rants and evangelism, there are more balanced points of view on the topic, not to mention an excellent follow-up post here from Tim Maly at Bookfuturism that examines the operational, production process piece missing (possibly inevitable at concept stage…) and why it's important. Well worth the read. There's clearly huge scope for development: our own Richard Schatzberger notes the multimedia opportunities haven't been looked at deeply enough. "The move to magtabs will start to break down the barriers between web broadcast and print. Live news playing inside the article about the same subject, your friends opinions connected to the content, live audio conversations about the story as you read it (like being in a coffee shop and hearing everyone talk about an article in the times)."
Either way, we liked the concept and we look forward to seeing where Berg and Bonnier take it. One thing is for sure:
"Ebook readers will be completely different in 2020. And paperback books will in all likelihood still be very much around, and pretty much the same." Comment from tcarmody on Bookfuturism's "Nostalgic Myopia" post grup sex Here's the introductory post in full from Matt Webb, MD of Berg London.
Thanks to James Higgs (@higgis) for pointing us in the direction of the articles above, not to mention the discussions he's been sparking of his own.
What actually goes on at Boulder Digital Works?
17th December 09
Posted in transformational change
Boulder Digital Works at the University of Colorado (BDWCU) is a cutting edge new school designed to create 'the leaders of the future' in the design, tech and creative industries. Sounds great, but what do the first intake of students really think about it, so far? And what are the 'works' that actually go on there?
Some background first.
There are already a number of (very cool) dedicated digital programs in the US but they tend to focus on individual specialties, such as advertising, business, design, or technology. The starting point for BDWCU was how things actually work in practice, once the student leaves school. It's a whole lot messier than a school syllabus, that's for sure. At advertising and digital agencies, start-ups, and software companies, business, creative, and technology people work in much more of an integrated and fluid setting and are expected to be multi-disciplinary thinkers and problem solvers. So BDWCU sets out to be a more broad-based educational program that covers the full spectrum of digital disciplines and media.
The program is impressive – take a look here. (I only wish I could attend.)
I was honored to be asked to sit on the Board of Directors and have got to know the program and the set-up a little. What I think is the coolest thing about the school is that the program they offer is live, so is constantly changing to reflect what matters today and tomorrow (not what mattered yesterday) and is led by leading practitioners in key industries such as advertising, design, interactive, and innovation, as well as entrepreneurs and academics. The team led by David Slayden, Michael Lightner and Allison Kent-Smith have done an awesome job of gathering some exceptional faculty to bring genuinely leading edge content and insight to students.
So, yes, as I said before, it all sounds great, but what's it really like? What do the students think? And how are they finding it?
The initial intake of 12 twelve trailblazers in the first Boulder Digital Works 60 Weeks Program finish their adventure in December 2010. To mark the one year pre-anniversary they have created the 12/10 Project. This short film takes stock of what they've learned so far, considers their hopes and plans for the upcoming year and sees them explore their dreams, goals youjizz and predictions more broadly. It is essential viewing for anyone in a creative business who has an eye on the talent pool of the future. It's people just like these guys whom we will all by vying to hire.
It's striking that for many the reasons they went to the school in the first place are not always the reasons they're staying.
(It's available in HD on YouTube).
Follow the 12/10 Project as it unfolds over the next 12 months. You never know, you might spot a rising star in the making.
The 12/10 blog is here.
If you're interested, here's a little more about BDWCU.
Google Chrome – Behind The Scenes
17th December 09
Posted in creativity
We're super proud of the new work we've just created for Google in Europe, for the Chrome browser. If you haven't seen it, take a look below. Hope you enjoy it.
We took Google's ingenuity & innovation as inspiration in developing the idea for seven short films (& an intro), demonstrating the benefits of Google Chrome. Every creation is built by hand, filmed in camera, with no special effects added. Even the music where Jacqui, the harpist, is playing is live on set. As it should always be with Google, the product is the hero. We celebrate the Chrome product, but we hope in a "Googley" way.
The films work as a longer single film of around 4 minutes, where the 8 films are merged together. We've designed annotations into the experience on YouTube; these are effectively hyperlinks to other films embedded into the film itself – like mature sex roll-over hotspots with links behind them. We hope this makes YouTube even more interactive. The transition device between films (the 'notice board') is based on annotations.
The project was especially fun from a collaboration point of view. BBH New York, BBH London & the team at Glue London worked super closely together with the Google team on the development of the strategy, creative and media. The Director was Aaron Duffy and the production company were 1st Avenue Machine in New York.
Here's a peek into the production process where you can see a little of the intensity and excitement that results when you gather a bunch of geeks, designers, artists and a harpist together in a small studio. The knitted props were actually knitted by the Director, pretty much there and then.
A lot of people worked very hard during an intense but awesome process. The Google clients (based in London) were very much part of our team too. It was fun. I hope that shows.
Here are a few photographs we took on set.

Alex Shelley revealed how close he is to AJ Styles, whom he calls an older brother, by revealing that the Phenomenal One helped him out tremendously with his career.
AJ Styles posted a message on Twitter, which stated that he is choosing to move on and leave things behind him. The belief is that he is referring to his failed negotiations with TNA and his upcoming departure from the company.
After doing research on the new PS4, TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles opted to go with an Xbox One instead.
British wrestler Lionheart has challenged AJ Styles to do a champion versus champion match in England, and it appears that Pro Wrestling Elite has begun negotiations with TNA.
Amidst rumors that the company made him an offer, AJ Styles took to Twitter to deny that he has talked to WWE.
"I still think the Superkick is the best finisher ever. It was just so good. There's so many [favorites]. I think Antonio Cesaro's finish right now is cool. I always loved the Piledriver, so an adaptation of the Piledriver is very awesome to me. I've always loved submission holds, so I love the Sharpshooter, that sort of thing. I love Dean Malenko's Cloverleaf. The things that I never really liked as finishers were the stuff that was wacky, stuff like the Von Erichs, who did the Tornado Punch, you know what I mean? The Ultimate Warrior, even though he was my favorite as a kid, had the Press Slam, and then he'd hit the ropes a couple of times and give 'em the Big Splash, the Hulk Hogan Legdrop, stuff like that was all stuff where I was just like, 'Eh.' To be fair, I honestly always hated the Rock Bottom. To me, it was just like, 'Uh, that's weird and stupid.'"
- Daniel Bryan discussing finishing moves and how he hates the one used by Rock
Japanese star Kenta Kobayashi, the wrestler who made the Go 2 Sleep finisher internationally famous, could be signed to a developmental deal with WWE soon. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center, where he was given a tryout by officials.
While Daniel Bryan was able to dish out a lot of punishment towards his foe, it was Bray Wyatt that stood victoriously at the end of their match at Royal Rumble 2014. Wyatt got the pin fall victory after nail his finisher twice, once of which was done outside the ring.
While he doesn't get to show it off very often on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, Jinder Mahal does actually have a finishing move. It's the camel clutch submission, and it has been recreated in the new WWE 2K14 video game.
