Tech interns, we need you.
28th October 11
Authors: Gabor Szalatnyai (Creative Technology) & James Mitchell (Strategy), BBH London & BBH Labs
Here at Labs, we make a lot of stuff for other people and brands, but, now and then, we like to build experiments – additional stuff we love so much, we take extra time and pull late nights to see it done. We do this because sometimes, we want to test a theory, because we want to test our capabilities, and because we want to make something cool.
With one very special project, we're ready to begin the making and we're going to spend the next three months doing just that. Which is why we we'd like some inspirational new talent to come and intern with us in London to help out. We are embarking on a project with Rails and MongoDB on the backend and HTML5 on the front. We would expect you to have previous projects using these, and if you are confident with CoffeeScript, Sass and Javascript game engines (craftyjs, gameQuery, renderEngine,) you'll enjoy the coding even more. We are managing source code with git on GitHub, so prepare your branching and merging skills too!
But this role is about more than the build. We'll work iteratively on this, so we'll be testing and learning as we go. This means you'll be working with the team to prototype, test, bend and break – modifying and bettering the experiment at every stage. We'll expect you to have a major impact on the idea itself. You'll have the freedom to implement any technical solution that solves the problem, to work with the entire team to make sure the thing doesn't just happen, but happens better.
Why work with us? Because we hope you'll agree the project is cool, the team is a diverse and interesting one, and the use of data is, as far as we know, something that's never been tried before. And, at the end of it all, you'll get to put your name against something very special.
To apply, please send a nice message (with your GitHub username and/or some work) to **email@example.com**, and we'll have a chat about what we're trying to build. If you have any more questions, drop them in the comments. Thanks!

A few weeks ago we started the UK edition of The BBH Barn program (@BBHBarn).
The Barn is a program for our interns: its aim to expand and mix both the power advertising wields and youth's inherent energy, then channel both for good.
As our team went about trying to find a problem they felt passionate about solving, we were all surprised by the absurdity of the past week's riots in the UK.
With the riots came all of the negativity towards todays youth and the use of social media technology to mobilise people.
There it was, we had our problem. We wanted to show the world that youth and technology could also be a force for good, this was exactly what The Barn was about. The team came up an idea. Why not use the force for good to help someone that was neither young nor technology savvy.
hd sex We set up Keep Aaron Cutting.
Aaron is an 89 years old barber who has been in the Tottenham area for 41 years whose business was ransacked during the riots. He has no insurance and no way of rebuilding his shop. His livelihood is devastated.
"I will probably have to close because I haven't got insurance and I can't afford the repairs," – Aaron
If we could restore Aaron's faith in youth and technology that might not solve the problem, but would be the perfect way to start.
If you want to help, please donate or share. And if you'd like to, follow the story via the site and via #keepaaroncutting on Twitter.

Don't Forget the "I" in "T": On Recommitting to Specialism
1st June 11
Posted in collaboration, People
- Picture the scene. There are around 4-6 people clustered around a table together. All trying to solve a problem, all very talented… most of them creative/strategy/tech hybrids. An hour later, they've gone in circles several times, sure, but between them there's light at the end of the tunnel.. a few solutions look to be within reach. Then the school bell goes people have to head to another meeting and they agree to meet again. Except it takes a day or two to arrange the follow-up and then half an hour to remind everyone what they're there to do. And repeat.. does this sound familiar?
There are some very smart people arguing that generalists are the future. When we have much more to do in less time, then it's better we put together teams of people who can all spin plates, bang a drum and throw knives at the same time, right? Perhaps there are some people who are so extraordinarily talented across so many disciplines that they genuinely can claim to be the ultimate one man band; a steel-alloyed, swiss army knife of creativity. For the rest of us, I would beg to differ. Read full post
How Junior Talent Can Package Their Portfolios Better
17th May 11
We recently ran a post asking if the junior talent in advertising are packaging themselves wrong. As we tend to do, we turned to a reader to help us answer that question after a number of very insightful comments on the post. In this case, we asked William Burks Spencer, who recently interviewed over 100 Creative Directors about what they look for in portfolios and compiled them into Breaking In, a book about creating a portfolio that will get you hired. For excerpts from the book, checkout the companion site.
Author: William Burks Spencer (@wspencer), Freelance Copywriter
Are students and juniors in advertising packaging themselves wrong? I think the answer is "most of the time, yes." When I asked over 100 Creative Directors about what they look for in portfolios, on most topics there was a good diversity of opinion. But everyone agreed on one point: most books are pretty much the same.
Certainly a lot of it has to do with content–books all look the same because the advertising in them is the same. Often ads in student books lack strategic thinking. It is very obvious when someone jumped right into making ads without any thought as to what the business problem was, or how to solve it. Another common problem has to do with technology. Students often show executions across tons of different media including Facebook apps, iPhone apps, and more, without having a powerful idea at the core. They're good at blowing out an idea, but not actually crafting it. But beyond just the ads, I think there is a problem and an opportunity here. Very few juniors venture outside of the normal format: 5-7 campaigns and a resume.
I think a solution can come from thinking about two things:
1. A portfolio tells a creative director "this is what I want to do". That's a very personal question and it gets to the heart of a student's personality and passion. I think the reason a lot of books feel the same is that students haven't thought about this question. They don't have strong feelings about what they want to do so they let other people to figure it out for them. I'm not talking about "being an art director or writer"–that's too broad. I'm talking about having a unique voice that comes through in your work. Or a strong point-of-view. Or specializing in one aspect of advertising that you love and demonstrating it. A lot of junior talent are trying to fit into what they think a creative should be, whereas Creative Directors are looking for people who know who they are.
2. A portfolio needs to make a point. It needs to make an impression on a Creative Director that stays with them. Matt Vescovo, an art director and artist, said in the book: "What's really appropriate about the whole thing is that Creative Directors look at student books the way that consumers look at advertising." Just as a good ad needs to leave you with a certain message or feeling, a good book should as well.
I think students need to combine these two goals and build a portfolio that demonstrates, in a memorable and original way, what kind of work they want to do.
If want to make Facebook apps and that's what you're good at, go for it. If you love crafting long-copy, show that. Make that your hook. It comes back to the idea of the T-shaped creative person that BBH and others use. Show what you're good at and passionate about. And then show that you can do the other things that someone with the title you want would be expected to do. It seems like most students and juniors are afraid of planting the base of the T and the result is they end up just being an underscore.
I often tell students about a friend of mine whose student portfolio consisted of a 6-foot roll of paper. Unrolling it revealed a single campaign that he art directed 7 different ways. Think about the impact that has for a CD to see that layed out on the floor. It stands out because it is different and bold. It made the point that he's a prolific, exacting art director who will work for as long as it takes to get it right. And he is. He works at Wieden+Kennedy in Portland.
In the book, Pat McKay, who is a freelance Creative Director in Seattle and worked at Wieden+Kennedy London with me, said that he thinks it is smart for a book to have an idea to it. Pat said he "would certainly look twice if a book came in with 100 sketches and they were all good ideas." That book would say "I'm just going to have loads of ideas and that's the one thing I want to leave in that person's mind".
Another way to package yourself differently is to get away from advertising completely. To show something else that shows your voice and personality. One of the other questions I asked everyone I interviewed was about showing this type of work–writing, art, hobbies, etc. Most Creative Directors I spoke to were interested in seeing it and it was usually those things that they could remember and talk about, years down the line.
Tony Davidson of Wieden+Kennedy London talked about a team who filmed themselves getting over a very low rail in different, often silly, ways to show that they solved problems differently. Dave Bell from KesselsKramer talked about someone who had a book called "Very, Very Short Stories" containing a hundred or more 3-line stories. Ted Royer of Droga5 talked about someone he hired who put a technical blueprint of Noah's Ark in his book. Vince Engel of Engine Company 1 remembered someone who wrote absurd letters to companies and compiled them into a book. Those things all probably say more about a person than ads.
Your portfolio has to represent you for those precious few minutes with a Creative Director. The onus is on you to show that they can think differently than anyone else in the building. Why not make a statement? Be different. Take a stand. Demonstrate that you have the base of the T, whatever that might be. If brazzers you open the conversation, you will always have an opportunity to show that you have the broader skills at the top part of the T as well. It might feel risky, but the bigger risk is not taking one.
Are the junior talent in advertising packaging themselves wrong?
22nd April 11
We interview people all the time, even when we're not hiring.
There's no arguing that the quality of junior talent in our industry is exceptional. This is a group that's taking a systematic approach to studying our craft, while balancing it with a pleasantly messy (as Global Planning Director, Heidi Hackemer, labeled it when screening candidates for the Barn program) mix of other interests that feed their insatiable curiosity.
Yet, there is an alarming trend about this talent. It has to do with packaging.
We look for T-shaped people when hiring. In other words, talent that's got a specific area of awesomeness, but stretches into other areas in a highly collaborative way. This is distinct from being a hybrid talent, a label that most junior talent in our industry self-apply early into most of these conversations: "I'm a mix of strategy, creative, media and production." True hybrid talent has more than one depth of expertise. That's exceptionally hard (I know, I was a sub-par Media Director before being a sub-par Creative Director).
No doubt this crop of people is indeed a mix of expertise. In fact, it's likely more true than of prior generations of ad talent. The question remains though, what arenas do they have or seek a depth of expertise in? In other words, what's the base of the T?
No one wants to be put in a box, ourselves included. But, ultimately clients want to know what they're buying, especially in a world of ever less familiar job titles. At BBH for example, it isn't until clients see engagement planning as a discipline that they fully appreciate the value it brings to the table in today's marketing landscape.
xhamster Which brings us to the punch line. The junior talent in this industry needs to remain buyable, even as they become messier and potentially more hybrid. So many talented young folks do a little bit of everything, but few are willing to commit to doing one particular thing quite well. In other words, those with the potential to truly be hybrid talent—deep skills in more than one vertical expertise—never manage to gain the depth to deliver on the promise such talent has.
Yet, it's exactly that talent that I know every agency in the country would hand a job to right now if they were just more buyable. The question is simply, which one needs to change? The talent and how they package themselves? Or the agencies that struggle to explain their value to clients?
Breaking A Sweat For Japan
14th April 11
From 12pm GMT today, BBH's global run/row/cycle-a-thon goes LIVE, streaming from all six BBH offices simultaneously for 24 hours straight. You can watch it happen via the webcams on the site. Please show your support by donating here, tweet #bbh4japan or leave a message for everyone breaking a sweat here. All donations, no matter how small, will help the charity we've chosen to support, ShelterBox.org, deliver emergency temporary housing, warmth and dignity to Japanese families who have lost everything after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
A whole host of people around the world in BBH offices got this up and running.. you know who you are. We also caught up with Dom Grant and Zak Razvi at BBH London who designed the art work to promote the event:
"We wanted to create a powerful image that worked on more than just one level. Using the iconic design of the Japanese flag, we replaced the red circle with a textured heart graphic. We then used the shape of Japan as a crack to depict a broken heart. We hope the image encapsulates our love and respect for the people of Japan." liseli porno Please give generously. A big thank you for your support, from everyone here and at Shelterbox.org.
As of this morning, we're happy to report a whopping £27, 110 has been raised! Thank you to EVERYONE who donated and supported the effort.
Here are some shots from Japan sent to us by Shelterbox today:
BDW Making Digital Work 4
7th April 11
Posted in People, transformational change, Uncategorized
Whenever Boulder Digital Works puts on an event they attract some of the best talent in the industry. The event is in Boulder, Colorado April 28-29 and you can click here to register.
Below are some notes from the last BDW Event in New York which should give you a taste of what you might see in Colorado.
The Education of Staff and Clients
Edward Boches, Chief Innovation Officer at Mullen described how he got his agency and clients migrating over to social media platforms like Twitter. Before the "Trash Talk from Section Twitter" Mullen had around ten people on Twitter and a handful of clients using the platform. After inviting all their staff and clients to participate, Mullen surged to 350+ people on Twitter and half their clients using the platform. These clients now see Mullen as an expert in the space because they showed them how to use the platform.
The Importance of Partnerships
The trend in agency innovation is to increase dependence on partnerships. Agencies like Victors and Spoils and Co: depend on this model to survive but they also describe how one agency cannot be geographically everywhere to take advantage of all the available talent. This philosophy describes a completely different agency landscape where cooperation creates greatness.
Creative Technologists are the new Rock Stars
A number of speakers talked about Creative Technologists but Scott Pringle and Chloe Glottlieb really nailed the role in their presentations. Chloe talked about a book called 'Program or be Programmed' which seems to be the story of the day. Scott shared the importance of playing with technology, sharing that with creative teams and then combining that thinking to meet a client objective.
Speed of Thought
Tim Malbon of Made by Many shared the importance of agility and speed to get things to market and work with your users to refine. We love Tim's approach to ideation through "sketch sessions" where people sit for an hour and sketch out ideas and then talk about the ideas with the team.
What do you think?
What's the best way to educate clients on Social Media?
How important are partnerships in your agency?
Should Creative Technologists be the only people that know how to code?

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|No stranger to success, Europop sensation Laura Pausini sold over 25 million albums in her first decade or so of recording, quite a feat for someone who was just turning 30 years old and had never broken into the lucrative English-language market. Yet she essentially struck out when she did try to cross over to that English-language market in 2002 with From the Inside. Put mildly, the album bombed stateside. Its qualities (and the qualities of stateside consumers) aside, it was the first full-fledged failure Pausini had experienced in a career of multi-million-selling albums and sold-out world tours. Here was someone who had sung for Pope John Paul II at Christmas and for Barbra Streisand at a birthday party, yet she couldn't sing for ordinary Americans, who just weren't interested in her melodramatic schmaltz. And so Pausini took a sizable break, perhaps the first of her whirlwind, world-conquering career. When she did finally emerge from her self-imposed silence, she returned with Escucha, her first Spanish-language album in four long years (not counting her best-of collection in 2001). (The album was also released in an Italian-language version, Resta in Ascolto.) Expectations were high, obviously, for she'd been gone for what felt like an eon in music years, and they were also high because of the dissatisfaction her Romance-language audience felt with her after the English-only From the Inside and its resulting mixed reception internationally. All of the tension seems to have seeped into the music of Escucha, because this is probably the most intense Pausini album to date. Sure, Europop is by nature dramatic in tone, brassy in approach, melodramatic in mood, and bombastic in practice. But man, Pausini really takes that approach to its fullest extent here, for a great many of these songs feel like "power" ballads, with their soft-hard dynamics, soaring choruses, and emotive outpourings. The album's stellar standout single, "V¡veme," is the prototype. As its chorus approaches, it builds in tension, only to explode in a burst of strings and voice worthy of a solar eclipse. "Escucha Atento," also a single, is another good example, with its outright rocking chorus (perfectly embodied by its video, which has Pausini emoting the chorus from a mountaintop -- with a setting sun behind her, no less!). And so the album goes, with the earlier-sequenced songs packing most of the punch. That's not really a figure of speech, either -- this album really does pack a punch, especially in terms of Europop. Escucha is a forceful return for Pausini, and it bodes well for her continued success. From the Inside notwithstanding, she's made a great career out of precious and passionate indulgence, topped off with her fragile beauty and Italian-Spanish accordance. Few, if any, have done it better, and for that reason, it's great to hear her regain her footing and deliver a purposeful album that just oozes everything poetic about Europop. Nope, nothing schmaltzy here -- nada. ~ Jason Birchmeier

'The Outsider' fails when it changes from a revenge story to a heist film. Unfortunately, it becomes a watered down version of both, resulting in an inoffensive but forgettable film. Read More »
Movie Review: 'Her'
As crazy as its main idea is (or is it THAT crazy?) 'Her' is a brilliant critique on today's society. For Spike Jonze fans, this is a must see. Read More »
Movie Review: 'Nebraska'
Like any road trip in real life, it's not about the destination. It's about the unplanned stops and people you encounter on your travels. Read More »

TV Review: 'First Comes Love'
People will definitely be talking about this film and Nina Davenport, both pro and con: from super feminists to religious conservatives. Read More »
Movie Review: 'The Spectacular Now'
The Spectacular Now could have easily fallen into the clichéd "I never want to leave high school" teen film; instead, it slowly evolves into a much more emotionally satisfiying film. Read More »

TravelPod Member ReviewsPousada Natureza Foz Foz de Iguacu
They don't take cards and you can book without a card so without paying anything, and then they send an email a couple of weeks before you check in asking for some money in advance. Which is difficult if they don't take cards and you can hardly post them cash....and I had no reply to 2 emails asking about this. That aside, the pousada is on the outskirts of town, quiet, spacious and clean. There are 1 1/2 rooftop pools which are clean and well kept. Breakfast was decent for the price, and included: scrambled eggs, proper coffee, fruit, different types of breads and cake, and ham and cheese. Pet turkeys running around. They organised transport to and from the Argentinian side of the Falls, in an AC minivan to and from the pousada, only for slightly more than getting public buses and it was definitely easier. Also sold me a boat trip in there for less than it would cost buying from the park.

Da es jedoch keine direkten Fl�ge von Lima nach Salvador gibt, legten wir hier kurzerhand einen l�ngeren Stopp ein, damit Cornelia die Wasserf�lle von Igua�u bestaunen konnte.

Mucky Waterfalls
We left Rio and the World Cup bubble behind and caught a flight to Iguasu. For anyone unaware it's a massive collection of waterfalls, over 275 in total; which border Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Grafite had been three years previously on another travelling trip so booked us into the same hostel that he'd already stayed at, which was more than up to standard. He'd also recommended a rodizio restaurant nearby, basically an as much meat as you can possibly eat place. Junior Lewis ...

We were a bit worried about the rain because the forecast was thunderstorm for the whole day. We decided to still get up early and go to the falls again. They have a great offer at the falls, you pay full price for the first day, then if you come a second day, you get 1/2 price off. So we decided to make the most of it. When ...

Just last month, the Worksite Investigation Enforcement Unit of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement ("ICE") division of the Department of Homeland Security announced a change in policy regarding the use of electronic software for I-9 completion, storage, and compliance.
ICE stated publicly that it will no longer accept I-9 forms that have Section 1 content that has been pre-populated electronically because employees must complete Section 1 of the form entirely for themselves. The fact that an employee provided in writing the original information on which his or her Section 1 electronic content is based does not matter. ICE considers any pre-population of employee data on the I-9 form to be unacceptable, even if the data was provided by a translator who completed the translator section of the form.
This is a very important development for employers who use electronic I-9 systems for completion, storage and retrieval of I-9 information. These systems are beneficial in part because they are integrated with other HR systems, creating efficiencies in employment data tracking and compliance, but now part of their value will be lost as employers are forced to spend valuable time insuring that employees fill out the paperwork manually in front of a company witness.
Furthermore, ICE confirmed that it would remain steadfast on this interpretation in a meeting with a committee of the American Immigration Lawyers Association on April 11, 2013, adding that the prohibition on pre-population pertains to existing I-9 forms, as well as to the completion of future forms. This means that employers could face significant exposure to fines and penalties for failing to complete I-9 forms properly at a time when nobody questioned the pre-population of accurate data provided in good faith.
Employers might want to consult with counsel regarding any steps that can be taken to cure defects in I-9 compliance or prevent penalties for non-compliance in the future.
As always, the Law Office of Ronald Shapiro, Esq. stands ready to serve those in need of immigration assistance, including employers who need I-9 compliance counseling or support. Please call us at (847)564-0712 to speak with an experienced and qualified immigration attorney and/or check out our immigration law Website for more information about how we might assist you.

SumTotal® Systems, LLC, the largest independent provider of integrated HR solutions, and Human Resources IQ will host a live, virtual roundtable with innovative learning and development leaders who have created dynamic, yet practical, strategies for developing frontline employees
|Ashley Graham, manager of global learning operations at McAfee, the world's largest dedicated security company
|Vince Pace, HR technologies director at Avanade, the leading provider of business technology solutions and managed services for Microsoft technologies
|Steven Parker, vice president of HR strategy and transformation at SumTotal (moderator)
|Wednesday, March 19, 11 a.m. EDT
Register now through HRIQ. HRIQ will email registrants the link to access the live video roundtable 10 minutes before the event.
Frontline employees drive our business. They service our customers, sell our products, and create our brand. Delivering learning and development to these employees is crucial but often difficult to get right.
Because many frontline employees work directly with customers, they do not sit at desks or in front of computers and thus have limited access to formal training. Not providing effective training to these employees, however, can disrupt their ability to drive your business forward. In this roundtable, you will hear how two customer-focused organizations, Avanade and McAfee, are addressing the unique needs of frontline employees and the impressive results their initiatives are yielding.
Follow @SumTotalSystems and keep up with the conversation using the event hashtag: #STRoundtable. Visit www.sumtotalsystems.com and check out the SumTotal Blog for more talent management tips and perspectives.

Federal Way is located between Seattle and Tacoma, and is known as a commuter town by some. The city is home to six parks including Steel Lake Park, Celebration Park, Dumas Bay Center, Dash Point State Park, Five Mile Lake and West Hylebos Wetlands Park. Federal Way is also home to current and former NFL and NBA players as well as Sanjaya from American Idol.
Lawyers in Federal Way can be found in most legal fields. Attorneys in the area practice in bankruptcy, business law, criminal defense, dangerous products, divorce & family law, employees' rights, immigration and other legal areas. It is important to find an attorney practicing in a legal area that suits your case.
In recent Federal Way news, Weyerhaeuser announced it would place 346,000 acres of timberland on the market. The sale is an attempt to balance the finances of the company which is burdened with multi-billion dollar debt. A transaction this large and expensive requires substantial participation by specialized business attorneys.
If one does find his or herself in a legal dispute in Federal Way, one will likely have to file their claim in the Federal Way District Court. An attorney must be familiar with this court and with the other courts in the area to determine how to best approach your case.

LegalMatch knows what your case needs. LegalMatch has years of experience in finding an attorneys that will suit your needs and presenting them to you.

Uncle Rock gives families The Big Picture
Here's a new album that offers good eco-rock for all ages.
Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 08:00 AM
Looking for some family friendly music to add to your collection? Want music that's fun but not maddeningly monotonous or sickeningly sweet? How about music that gives a nod to your efforts to go green? A new album called The Big Picture by Uncle Rock might just fit the bill.
The Big Picture is a socially conscious salute to Uncle Rock's (aka Robert Burke Waren's) musical heroes. The CD's 12 original songs (and two covers — Carol Burnett's theme song and Tom T. Hall's Sneaky Snake) offer sonic nods to David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens, the Ramones, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and even Billy Idol. The eco-album includes songs about recycling, acceptance of differences, and even a song called Stop at a Mom N' Pop that talks about the importance of shopping locally.
Here's an excerpt from There Is No Away, (which you can actually download for free on the website.)
We'll make it better,
When we think again of our friends,
In the water, in the air, and on land.
We'll make it better when we think of our friends.
Today is the day we sing for the turtle, for the bluebird, for the wolf too.
We sing and we say, there is no away,
They're depending on me and on you.
It's cool music that the whole family will love. You'll honestly be glad when your kids want to hear it again and again. And you'll be glad when the whole family is singing along to these eco-tunes.

Slice serve for a 2nd serve
I see that Rafa does this a lot, but I'm wondering how safe a serve this is compared to a kick serve. Is the slice serve indeed safer than a flat serve and nearly as safe if not as safe as a kick serve?
Almost every player I know hits some type of slice second serve at least sometimes. I notice that the old school players often hit a flatter slice with mostly side spin (toss about 2 feet forward and slightly to the right side (for a righty)) This ball seems to dip mostly due to gravity on the slower, fastly spinning ball.
The young players seem to hit more topspin slice, which comes from the slice serve tossed closer to the body to produce a more 5 to 10 o'clock spin the causes the ball to dip into the court. This is a very safe serve because it is dipping agressively into the court.
I think that lefties, like Nadal and McEnroe, use the slice more because it is harder to track that slower, bending serve to the left, whereas a slice to the right often puts it right into most righty's wheelhouse for return.
5 to 10? Are you a lefty?
Nope, topspin-slice, from 5 to 10. Sounds correct. I'd say more like 4 to 10 or 4:30 to 10:30, but yeah.
Pure topspin from 6 to 12. Pure slice from 3 to 9. Topspin-slice (Goran Ivanisevic's main serve) from 4,5 to 10,5 ;)
Topspin slice is a hybrid between pure topsin 6 to 12 and pure slice 3-9, so topsin slice IS NOT 5 to 10, its 7:30 to 1:30 in its purest sense. Twist is 9 to 3 in its purest sense.
But above all things is finding a consistent serve, my flat is sometimes more reliable than my kick, but im at that stage trying to prove the axiom that kick is reliable.
It takes time and effort to develop consistency. It seems true about kick but I find it a little hard at this stage. Its all about doing things at an expert level, which Im not there yet.
At the moment I can only do slice second serves. I have pretty good success with it. I only double faulted once in 4 service games the last time I played. :)
Slice may be 9-3 strike for lefty, opposite for righty. More realistic for higher pace shots is a 8-2R/4-10L. Twist is not going to 9-3 either. More like 5-11R, 7-1L (+-30 minutes for the extremely flexible). Anything more is pretty difficult.
Topspinny serves have an easier time staying in the court due to the obvious downward force. If not done with a decent placement and kick, they can be very easy to return if they sit like ducks.
Don't really know what clocks you guys are using, but how the heck could a righty swing from 5 to 10? You'd have to serve underhanded to do that. :lol:
Kick goes from 7 to 1 for a righty, not 5 to 11.
in general:
topspin - rotation about horizontal axis
slice - rotation about vertical axis
twist - axis of rotation out of plane with baseline
nearly every serve has a component of topspin, slice, and twist. it's all a matter of degree, so in general serves are characterized by the most prominent component:
"topspin/kick serve": mostly topspin, little slice, little twist
"slice serve": mostly slice spin, little topspin, little twist
"twist serve": topspin/kick serve with a fair amount of twist (for those wondering a slice serve can have twist, but due to the near vertical axis of rotation, twist on a slice has little to no effect. twist is only meaningful on a heavily topspin serve.)
"flat serve": high velocity, but still a good amount of topspin
overhand serves *should* not ever have underspin or inverse slice.
and to the OP: a slice is a good choice for a second serve ... heck sampras threw in all-out flats as 2nd sometimes.
But... that makes no sense!
For a righty, if a pure topspin is from 6 to 12, and a pure slice serve is from 3 to 9, a topspin slice would be from 4,5 to 10,5.
The ball is struck in a diagonal way, from right to left, and from low to high on a topspin-slice.
4:30 to 10:30 is actually easier than 7 to 1. It's a normal 3 to 9 slice serve, with a more pronunciated low to high swing.
A slice serve for a righty is hit from 3 to 9. From right to left.

Cliff Lee will miss his scheduled start Saturday due to a stiff neck. Long reliever Raul Valdes will start in Lee's stead.
- Filed Under
Cliff Lee will not start Saturday's game.
The Phillies announced around 7:30 p.m. that Lee, the team's best pitcher this season, was scratched from his scheduled start due to a stiff neck. Raul Valdes, the Phillies' long reliever, will start in his stead.
The scratch comes with strange timing, as Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told ESPN earlier in the day that he would listen to trade offers on Lee. ...

MERIDIAN -- A fish, not native to Idaho, with sharp teeth was reeled in from a Meridian pond Monday.
Kenny Espen was fishing at Settler's pond, when he caught what he believed to be a piranha.
Espen's wife sent pictures of the fish to KTVB -- and so we did some homework.
Evin Oneale with Idaho Fish and Game said after looking at the pictures of the fish, he doesn't think it is a piranha, but instead, a Pacu, which is in the same family. Oneale said while the pacu does have teeth, it doesn't eat flesh -- but eats fruits and vegetables instead.
Idaho Fish and Game told KTVB they see this kind of thing happen more often than they'd like. They say the pacu was likely someone's pet, and that person turned it loose in the pond to get rid of it for one reason or another.
Oneale said putting fish into Idaho ponds without a permit is illegal, and depending on the situation -- could have some very bad consequences. The wrong kind of fish being placed into the wrong body of water cause concerns about diseases and problems when it comes to competition with other fish.
Settler's Pond, where the pacu was found, is what fish and game calls a bicycle fishery -- a small community pond that neighborhood kids can get to easily to fish. The pond is usually stocked with rainbow trout.
Oneale said in this case, there is no reason for anyone to be concerned about the pacu. Tropical fish can't live long in Idaho waters because of the temperature -- and the pacu would have likely died soon.

Manti Te'o girlfriend's death apparently a hoax
Te'o talked freely about their relationship after her supposed death and how much she meant to him.
In a story that appeared in The South Bend Tribune on Oct. 12, Manti's father, Brian, recounted an anecdote about how his son and Kekua met after Notre Dame had played at Stanford in 2009. Brian Te'o also told the newspaper that Kekua had visited Hawaii and met with his son. Brian Te'o told the AP in an interview in October that he and his wife had never met Manti's girlfriend but they had hoped to at the Wake Forest game in November. The father said he believed the relationship was just beginning to get serious when she died.
The Tribune released a statement saying: "At the Tribune, we are as stunned by these revelations as everyone else. Indeed, this season we reported the story of this fake girlfriend and her death as details were given to us by Te'o, members of his family and his coaches at Notre Dame."
The week before Notre Dame played Michigan State on Sept. 15, coach Brian Kelly told reporters when asked that Te'o's grandmother and a friend had died. He said Kekua had told Te'o not to miss a game if she died. The linebacker turned in one of his best performances of the season and his playing through heartache became a prominent theme during the Irish's undefeated regular season. He finished second in Heisman voting.
"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life," Te'o said in his statement.
"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been."
Te'o and the Irish lost the title game to Alabama, 42-14 on Jan. 7. He has graduated and was set to begin preparing for the NFL combine and draft at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., this week.
"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life," he said in his statement, "and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL draft."
