Of course by its very definition the Football League is weak – comparatively. While it's true that West Ham and Southampton skilfully negotiated the step up to the Premier League this past year, both enjoyed wage structures and transfer budgets way beyond the scope of second tier clubs.
Yesterday's opening post on this four day SWOT analysis salvo perhaps painted too rosy a picture of the League's attributes. Today's comes up with a decidedly different portrait. It's clear that many of the competition's strengths have their exact obverse on the weaknesses front and indeed, many of these issues are perilously close to the threats category. We shall return to that on Friday but here, we inevitably have to start with matters financial.
Club Finances
Within a few days of losing their Football League status in April, Aldershot Football Club announced that they would be entering administration. Any hope, however, on the League's part that this would mean one less financial basket case were dashed when Queen's Park Rangers lined up to replace the Hampshire club.
Rangers' travails dwarf those of the Shots and bear comparison with those of their Scottish namesakes. As we explored in these pages in May, Harry Redknapp's desperate attempt to keep QPR in the Premier League proved to be £21.5 million wasted while that most telling of statistics, the wages to turnover ratio, stands at a cage rattling 183%.
QPR have debts of over £100 million and while the sugar daddy model is cited to defend this level of irresponsibility, Tony Fernandes surely wasn't born yesterday, as evidenced by the highly significant £15 million loan the club were forced to take out in February.
For while revenues can be high given that the Championship in particular is the fourth most watched League in Europe , the tendency of clubs to commit those riches in player wages and other excesses leads to a very different situation as far as profitability is concerned.
Indeed, it's not just the newcomers sated on the golden tit of the EPL that are in a parlous state. Take Coventry City whose 2012-13 saw them subject to a 10 point deduction, a transfer embargo, the closure of the club shop, placement into administration by their dark overlords Sisu Capital and linked variously with stadium moves to Hinckley, Northampton and Walsall.
Take also Bury, in all probability saved on May 24, but reliant on loans from the Professional Footballers Association and with a mere eight players remaining on the wage bill. Take also Blackburn Rovers, with a £40 million loss predicted, exacerbated by compensation pay offs to sacked managers Henning Berg (£2.5 million) and Michael Appleton (a fifth of that and yet still a sizeable sum).
Meanwhile, Oldham Athletic appear to be lining up to confirm Stephen Vaughan as their new owner – formerly of the now defunct Chester City, Vaughan was the first person to fail the League's fit and proper persons test. A year from now, a similar article to this will likely list a different set of clubs.
Failing the fit and proper persons test takes some doing given the administrators' laissez-faire approach to dodginess on all levels – but what can one expect from an organisation that called on the pro-market, anti-regulation Brian Mawhinney to be its Chairman a decade ago now?
Up and down the divisions, there are examples of poor governance and a lack of accountability – from the sums Peter Pannu is receiving in his role as acting Chairman of Birmingham City to the ongoing car crash that is Blackburn Rovers, to a Swindon Town forking out £250,000 a month in wages and sitting £13 million in the red as of January.
Greg Clarke, the League's head honcho, recently saw off a potential vote of no-confidence at a meeting in Portugal (why Portugal?) – and this followed the collapse of a £21 million sponsorship deal with B&Q and a brazen attempt to desert the job in a bid to become Football Association Chairman. Despite encouraging noises on the subject of safe standing and other issues, it's on Clarke's watch that all the financial problems have become heightened – and I haven't even mentioned Portsmouth.
Dependency on the Premier League
Clarke's main failure has been to over rely on the Premier League. Like Muttley, he and his cohorts can be heard cackling by turns cunningly and nervously with every new measure Richard Scudamore and his chums impose.
Take the almost illogical phenomenon that is the parachute payment – wildly distorting and a reward for failure. Relegated clubs now stand to collect £60 million over four seasons and the result can only be a provocation to take a risk and spend more.
Newcastle and West Ham chanced it and it paid off and QPR will without question try to do the same, jarring the competitive environment that we cited as one of the League's strengths yesterday – but the list of those who saw the payments as a boon only to crash and burn is longer – Wolverhampton Wanderers, far from the worse run club financially, are the latest to feel the full effect of these pernicious instruments.
So-called solidarity payments to other clubs are thus dwarfed at £2 million a shot while the Elite Player Performance Plan, millions from Sky and the current sponsorship deal further induce over reliance on the Premier League Death Star. As EPL teams pick up talented youngsters on the cheap, it will become clear that none of it is for free and, as I mentioned earlier, one only has to look back to the ITV Digital fiasco to see how these weaknesses can soon become threats.
Although far less of a problem than the general financial and governmental malaise, another weakness that the League could be accused of is a certain lack of identity.
For sure, there is character in spades if you choose to look for it but anyone who has seen the puzzled look of a dog being shown a card trick etched across a friend's face when you reveal to them your support for a Football League club will understand the sense of embarrassment and squirming lack of connectedness that nailing one's colours to the lower league mast can bring.
Nor can the identikit, out of town stadia – which I praised for their advantages yesterday – seem characterful enough. Between the glitz of the Premier League and the true grassroots of non-league, the Football League can appear as an unnecessary halfway house – neither exciting enough to capture the zeitgeist nor real enough to seem genuine.
It's probably this drawback that has led the power that be to tinker with the branding – hence, the still objectionable moniker of 'The Championship' and the ever shifting sands of the bottom two divisions' labelling. In short, this wrongheaded attempt to define a brand has ended up doing nothing of the sort – the next time I hear Chelsea Dagger when a team scores, I'll be running to the hills while a single Frankie and Benny's pizza is one too many.
Tomorrow, we'll move on to survey some possible opportunities to address these weaknesses.

Wool products make a handy sideline at farm
Posted: April 03, 2014|
THE spring lambs in Jackie Payne's herd are growing fast. And before the year is out their fleeces could be warming a house as far away as China.
Or they will have been turned into a shawl, a furniture throw or a pair of soft, woollen gloves.
The Jacob sheep and lambs are a healthy sideline for Huxtable Farm, run by Jackie and her husband, Anthony, at West Buckland.
It's taken 30 years of attention to detail and imagination to develop the skills that make the farm's cottage industry.
Th couple run a mix of pure Jacobs and some Texels, which allows them to cross breed for size as well as easy handling and of course, the all-important wool colour.
They came to their home and what was to be their living when Anthony's parents bought Huxtable Farm.
They started off doing bed and breakfast on a small scale, but have gradually built up their on-farm visitor experience so there are now six units and families come to stay from all over the country and other parts of the world.
It was a gradual process, said Jackie: "We were both working outside the farm at the time. We bought some sheep at first just to keep the grass down. I've always been a knitter and I thought it at that time it would be nice to knit my own wool.
"We started with Charolais and Suffolks but I thought it was tough wool. And then I found out about the Jacobs' fine wool and bought our first Jacob in 1993. That was it, we've never looked back.
"I wanted the natural colours, dark and light, and you can get a variety of colours in between."
Anthony has a pragmatic view of the flock: "Sheep prices are quite good now but a few years ago I wasn't pleased if the sheep weren't making any money.
"At least the sheep were attractive for the guests. The children love feeding the tame lambs."
They have turned nearly half the farm's 80 acres into mixed woodland, reducing the size of their flock.
Jackie talked about her fondness for the breed: "The Jacobs lamb quite easily, they get on and do it themselves.
"And they're very good mothers so the lambs get up quite quickly."
Anthony said the Jacobs don't need much in the way of extra nutrition beyond their home grazing: "We've got the numbers right now, I don't start feeding hay until after Christmas and that goes on just until March.
"They're not touching the hay now, for instance.
"The Texels have a larger carcass and the Jacobs are quite lean, so we mix them together, getting flavour but also a plumper sheep."
Jackie, who taught science and maths at South Molton School for five years, described the scale of her mini-industry: "It's a sideline, not a big business enterprise, mainly for ladies interested in knitting, sharing my own interest.
"I started spinning when I gave up work. I went on a day course and read books, watched DVDs and the TV.
"We used to get American guests who just loved the raw wool and I couldn't keep up with the demand.
"I spent a lot of time separating the wool into dark and light with the ewes fleeces. "With the lamb's fleeces I don't bother separating and see what happens when you mix it up. It came out a nice soft grey."

Great article don!
Not completely related but do you know much about visualisation? To give you an insight I've fought a couple of n class fights and obviously wish to eventually progress to a class standard. I sometimes try to visualise my ring entrance for an a class bout but I find it difficult to invoke the emotions that go with it which I know is probably the most important part, I also find it difficult to visualise in the first person. Is there anything else you feel I would be better off visualising or any other help you can offer. Many thanks, Andy

Negative - Collins Place ANZ Tower Under Construction, Collins Street, Melbourne, 1974 Reg. No: MM 056246
- Summary:
- Black and white 5" x 4" negative showing an elevated view of the building site of the new ANZ Bank headquarters in 1974, looking north along Exhibition Street. This was part of the Collins Place development, on the corner of Collins and Exhibition Streets, Melbourne. Also visible in the background at left are Nauru House [also under construction] on the corner of Exhibition and Collins Streets, and the Southern Cross Hotel, on the corner of Exhibition and Bourke Streets.
This image is part of the Laurie Richards Collection at Museum Victoria comprising approximately 85,000 negatives taken by the Melbourne based Laurie Richards Studio between the 1950s -1970s. These negatives are all mostly large format [5"x 4"/ 12.5 x 10 cm], black and white images, though a significant number are in colour. The many photographic jobs that were undertaken in the course of thirty years are itemised in a set of log books, copies of which are also held by Museum Victoria.
Laurie Richards was a professional photographer who began his career as a photo-journalist, working for the Advertiser newspaper in Adelaide, and the Argus and the Herald newspapers in Melbourne. In 1953, he opened his own business and set up a photographic studio at his home at 4 Tower Avenue, Alphington, an inner suburb of Melbourne. At its peak, in the late 1960s, the Laurie Richards Studio was one of Melbourne's pre-eminent commercial photographic studios, employing twelve photographers. The Laurie Richards Studio worked mainly in advertising and public relations, and had a broad clientele which included commercial companies, government institutions and the entertainment industry.
- Description:
- Black and white 5" x 4" cellullose acetate negative.
- Statement Of Significance:
- Because of the breadth of both the subject matter photographed and the diverse businesses which commissioned the work, and the excellent documentation that accompanies the collection, the Laurie Richards Collection at Museum Victoria is an invaluable record of Melbourne?s commercial and industrial past and as such gives an insight into the social history of that period.
- Description Of Content:
- An elevated view of a building site, showing concrete fouondations, formwork, scaffolding, multiple cranes, and one high rise tower which is quite progressed in its construction. Several cranes on the building site are marked with a logo and the words 'Mainline'. Other completed high rise buildings are in the background around the city, as are a number of other construction sites, with cranes visible.

I know, the "no white after Labor Day" rule has long been passe in most of our minds. But that doesn't mean that how we wear white into the fall and winter shouldn't adjust somewhat. Let's face it — while we've technically got a couple more weeks of summer, tank tops and strappy sandals won't be great choices for much longer.
With that in mind, I've put together three looks that will take you into the cooler months: one for the transitional weather, one for when it's really cold, and one that's a bit more dressy.
First up is an outfit that would be great for the weekends or a more casual office environment. The color of the top screams fall, and the jacket can come on or off with the variable temps. I will definitely be wearing some variation on this look in the next few weeks.
Jeans // Jacket // Top // Shoes // Necklace
And then when the weather gets colder, white jeans work perfectly with a slouchy sweater. Add a pair of boots and a great bag in a fall color, and you're all set. Again, this could be weekend or business casual (at least in my world), but you could always dress it up a bit more with a structured sweater and heeled boots.
Jeans // Sweater // Boots // Bag
Last but not least is an outfit I'd wear to a work event or date night. Without the blazer, this dress would be perfect in the middle of the summer, but with the navy and the pumps, I think it transitions nicely into fall. Granted, it's short, so probably not something you'll be wearing around Halloween, but it's perfect for September!
Dress // Blazer // Pumps // Necklace
How do you like to wear white outside of summer? Or, are you like my mom's friend who wears all of her white leading up to Labor Day, and practically gets the twitches if she sees a woman in white pants after that date? (True story.)

How Bad are Bananas?
Mike Berners-Lee, Small World Consulting Ltd
Friday 28 May 2010, 1600-1700
LEC Courtyard
Mike Berners-Lee will be giving a short talk on his new book "How Bad are Bananas? The carbon footprint of everything".
The book covers everything from a text message, through everyday items, to the war in Iraq. There are messages for personal lives, businesses and a few thoughts sprinkled in for policy makers too. Bill Bryson said "I can't remember the last time I read a book that was more fascinating, informative and fun, all at the same time".
Mike will take a few questions but is planning to leave a good bit of time for people to meet, drink in hand, with others from across the university who may share an interest in the multi-disciplinary challenge of climate change. He'll be available for signing copies.
The event is open to all and there will be some light refreshments available. Please email Amanda Faulconbridge (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you are attending to help anticipate refreshments.

North Augusta High Schools search for its next head football coach is down to three finalists.
The position has been vacant for a little more than a month, as longtime head coach and athletic director Dan Pippin was named the head coach at Greenwood High School on Feb. 17.
According to sources close to the situation, the school interviewed more than 20 candidates for the opening. The list has been whittled down to current defensive coordinator and head softball coach Derrick Quinn, current Westside (Ga.) head coach Steve Hibbitts and Northern Guilford (N.C.) head coach Brian Thomas.
Quinn was the architect of one of the best defenses in South Carolina, as the Yellow Jackets were No. 1 in fewest points allowed before the season-ending loss to Northwestern in the Class AAAA semifinals. Though he lacks head football coaching experience, hes the most familiar with the teams current makeup.
Hibbitts also has ties to North Augusta. He was the teams defensive coordinator before leaving for Westside, where hes been the head coach since 2010. In four seasons, Hibbitts teams have a 13-29 record, although that number was hurt after forfeiting four wins last season because of the use of an ineligible player. Hibbitts is quoted as saying the issue was the result of missing something on the paperwork of a transfer, who was ultimately cleared to play.
The wild card in the North Augusta search comes in the form of Thomas, who has only been the head coach at Northern Guilford for one season. Thomas followed head coach Johnny Roscoe, who won three straight NCHSAA Division 3AA championships.
In his first season as head coach, Thomas led the Nighthawks to a 12-3 record, which included a 23-17 loss to Crest in the state championship game. The teams other two losses were the result of forfeits because of the use of ineligible players.
Theres a chance that the hire will be announced at the next Aiken County School Board meeting, which is on Tuesday night, but it currently doesnt appear on the agenda. Whoever is hired will have big shoes to fill as they try to replace Pippin. In eight seasons, Pippin led the Yellow Jackets to a 70-33 overall record and seven playoff appearances.

Popular wisdom is that the easiest way to shut down the Sedins is to play a tough, physical game. The theory goes that the Sedins wilt under physical pressure, with the Stanley Cup Final submitted as proof. The takeaway from that series for a lot of people is that the Sedins are too soft and that all that is required to shut them down is to hit them. Is this view true? How do the Sedins perform in more physical games? Are the Sedins soft?Continue Reading —›

In addition, it aims to encourage medical practitioners to consider the benefits versus the risks of radiotherapy, and assess the most modern technology for uses that may benefit the greatest number of patients. The major challenge in this field is to develop new strategies for the controlled use of radiotherapy. This includes the abili

In his first year of school, Francisco understands little of what his teacher says. But he is drawn to the silent, slow-moving caterpillar in the jar next to his desk. He knows caterpillars turn into butterflies, but just how do they do it? To find out, he studies the words in a butterfly book so many times that he can close his eyes and see the black letters, but he still can't understand their meaning. Illustrated with paintings as deep and rich as the wings of a butterfly, this honest, unsentimental account of a schoolchild's struggle to learn language reveals that our imaginati

A look at the best and worst sex in literature
Calgary distinguished itself in the international world of letters this year when Calgary-born novelist Nancy Huston won the Guardian's 2012 award for "Bad Sex in Fiction." Huston joins lofty (and primarily male) company: previous winners include Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer and John Updike (Lifetime Achievement, 2008). If we grant that Huston deserves the honour for her novel Infrared (and she does, she really really does), the question remains as to what precisely constitutes "bad sex" in literature? How does one weed out the unsexy from the sexy, the nasty from the sublime?
The best measure may be to consider whether you want to be there yourself — in that position(s) — doing or being done by the protagonist(s) and/or author.
To get you started, here follows a (totally subjective) list of the Top 5 unsexiest and sexiest moments in literature. Enjoy. Or don't. We have no interest in knowing which. You little monkey.
1. Sheila Heti, How Should a Person Be?
"All right, Israel, cum in my mouth. Don't let me wash it out, so when I talk to those people, I can have your cum swimming in my mouth, and I will smile at them and taste you. It will be as you wanted it, me standing there, tasting your cum, stumbling over words."
Obliquely — and perhaps unintentionally — the above passage answers the novel's titular question. A person should be less pretentious, less twee-ly and self-consciously shocking. A person should brush his or her teeth after giving head, and before entering company.
2. D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover :
"John Thomas! Dost want HER? Dost want my lady Jane? Tha's dipped me in again, tha hast. Ay, an' tha comes up smilin'. Ax 'er then! Ax lady Jane. Say: lift up your heads, O ye gates, that the kind of glory may come in. Ay, th' cheek on thee! Cunt, that's what tha're after. Tell lady Jane tha wants cunt. John Thomas, an' the cunt O' lady Jane!'
First rule of thumb: don't name your penis. Second: don't name your partner's member, cunt or otherwise. Third: foreplay is not a puppet show.
3. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs :
"I am beginning to enjoy it," she said, "but enough for today. I am beginning to feel a demonic curiosity to see how far your strength goes. I take a cruel joy in seeing you tremble and writhe between my whip, and in hearing your groans and wails; I want to go on whipping without pity until you beg for mercy, until you lose your senses. You have awakened dangerous elements in my being. But now get up."
Wanda (above) talks a lot. So does Severin, her abject lover. Enough said.
4. Roberto Bolaño, Woes of the True Policeman :
"This will end badly, thought Amalfitano... as Padilla's cock sank smoothly into his old ass."
Granted, Padilla is one of Amalfitano's students at the university, so there are some ethical issues at play here, but his attitude still seems unduly negative. Also, a couple of sentences earlier, he's thinking about his dead wife. Big turn-off.
5. James Joyce, Ulysses :
"...and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will yes."
Elvis left the building 15 yesses ago.
1. Philip Roth, Deception :
"Then who was that in your studio with my legs over your shoulders?"
Funny = sexy. Effective verbal banter is crucial to good fore-and-afterplay.
2. Vincent Lam, The Headmaster's Wager :
"Gradually faster, until he gave in, abandoned himself to it, spilled over the edge of himself, knew that she had also done so. Although a man could be selfish in seduction, he must be considerate in pleasure.
YES. Yes yes yes yes yes. And thank you.
3. King Solomon, "Song of Solomon" (King James Version):
"The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, / the work of the hands of a cunning workman."
Compliments are sexy. A confident person is an adventurous person. A thankful person. A giving person.
4. John Donne, "Elegy 19: On His Mistress, Going to Bed":
"License my roving hands, and let them go / Before, behind, between, above, below."
5. Edna St. Vincent Millay, "I, being born a woman and distressed":
"I find this frenzy insufficient reason / For conversation when we meet again."
Challenges = sexy. Try me Edna. I'll give you a reason.


text: So I read the 26 pages of this thread before finally skipping to the end. Is there a final answer yet? Here's my scenario and anyone willing to give a quick answer would be appreciated. I have the first model wii' that I soft-modded about two years ago. I am currently able to load wii iso's from an external wd hdd. I would like to place a few gcm files I have (and own the games for) onto to this hdd. Is it yet possible to load *.gcm's and wii.iso's from one hdd without breaking the ability to read retail gcm discs? Sure i can just rip the others as well if there is not a solution to keep readability for my GC games. Or is there one guide that goes through all the current wads and loaders in one swoop? Again any advice is appreciate. Thanks.

Bands. Photographers. Animators. Filmmakers. Students. Developers. Architects. Dads. Lots of people are using the Jewelboxing System to put the best possible face on their work. Here's just a few recent executions. when you finish your next project, we'd love to feature it and send a little traffic your way too.
Is it safe to give Ben Saunders the tagline "the man, the myth, the legend"? He'd likely say no, given that he's a heck of a nice guy who isn't prone to highly exaggerated ego, but it's certainly not difficult to be wowed by all he's accomplished. A record-setting, world-renowned polar explorer by trade, as well as a motivational speaker who has spoken at the TED Conference alongside people like Al Gore, Saunders list of achievements is downright impressive. And he gets extra points from us for using our King cases to package his video clips and photos for promotional and fundraising uses. We interviewed Ben for the 15th installment of our ongoing Case Study feature.
In the business of typography, there are few bigger names than the legendary FontShop, founded by Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody in 1990, right at the forefront of the widespread transition to digital fonts. We were fortunate to get to talk to FontShop's Stephen Coles about using our Standard cases to package their collection FontStars 2007: Best Type of the Year for the 10th installment of our popular Case Study interview features.
London designer Brendan Dawes received a Jewelboxing 20pack from his wife for Christmas. He made his first case as a test, for a short DVD he created for the BD4D event in New York. An all black and white affair. We're flattered that Brendan wrote to say that he "totally loves the system. The quality of the materials is top notch, the templates work great - the whole thing is superb. I didn't know DVD/CD cases could be this cool." Aw shucks. We love the way he integrated the disc label with the case art. You can see "Voices in the Subway" and a bunch of other great stuff at Brendan's personal site.
Even if you're not an art buff, you've more than likely seen a piece by Marcel Duchamp. There's also a fairly substantial chance that it left you wondering what it meant. Fortunately, there's Andrew Stafford, who spent a large collection of his free time on making his project, Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp, a fun, interactive exhibition that tries to do just that (focusing in particular on one of the artist's most famous pieces, The Large Glass). Andrew packaged the whole project beautifully using our King cases, a custom screen-printed cover, and alterable transparencies for the cover. We had to know more about the project, so we interviewed Stafford for Case Study #9.
Sometimes you just love something so much, you have to pay extra special tribute to it. Enter Brooklyn-based designer Raymond Forbes, who wanted a box set collection that happened not to exist of all his favorite David Cronenberg films, so he went about making his own. He used our King cases and designed beautiful, semi-transparent covers for each film, and a clear, textured box to house them all. Mr. Cronenberg, should you want to get in touch with Raymond, and we figure you will, let us know. We have his contact info.
Wedding photographer Dawn Earles writes, "I first discovered Jewelboxing when my husband handed me a blank case he found at work. He thought I would love it and he was absolutely right. I had been using the standard plastic CD cases (which were always falling apart on me) and black plastic DVD cases (which are just ugly). It took me a while but I finally ordered my first set of cases and started creating designs for my newest customers. Since I have made the switch, the feedback has been incredible. It's the most attractive case I have ever seen, it even makes my designs look better. It's strong and secure, there is no way this case is falling apart like the standard cases do, and that's important to me because my clients love to show them off so they need to take a lot of use and abuse." Visit Dawn's site here .
Designer and idea man John Caserta serves as both an educator at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design and as the founder of the "part organization, part collective" Design Office, which was created to give designers a space and funding to try out new ideas. Caserta used Jewelboxing to package a video installation by artist Tim Hyde, which are given to art dealers, collectors and museums when they decide to exhibit the work. We got a chance to talk to John about this and all his other cool projects for Case Study #13.
A good eye and a strong back are the backbone of Ed Moore's profession. Based out of the UK, he's a busy cinematographer and steadicam operator who travels the world over shooting movies and commercials. It's an industry with a lot of competition, but Ed tells us that he feels like he's able to stand out by using our King cases to package his two separate reels and customizing each one for every job he bids on. Pardon the pun, but that's pretty smooth.
Andrew Huff put together this very touching tribute to his grandfather, "the single best storyteller [he's] ever known." Having recorded hours of audio tapes with him before his passing, Andrew had them digitized, edited them down to fit on several CDs, and used our King cases to package together a great collection of family memories. Originally planned as just a gift to his grandmother, he realized the whole family might want copies, so come Christmas, he passed out the collection to each of his family members.
From Designer Signe Houser: "The Science & Business Division of the Vancouver Public Library has been publishing print versions of our New Media Directory for six years. This is a company directory of new media firms in the greater Vancouver area intended primarily for job seekers. As you might know, Vancouver has become a gaming and interactive entertainment hotbed, not to mention a pretty beautiful place and the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. When it came time to produce a CD version of our Directory, we wanted a simple, elegant, all-in-one packaging system to do it justice. Jewelboxing exceeded all expectations. We love it! And our designer specifically wants everyone to know that he thought the system was freakin' awesome!"
Peter Fishman and Dara Mochson decided against sending out the typical, frilly white wedding invitations. Instead, they came up with the brilliant idea of sending out an invitation-slash-jazz-compilation-album to all their guests. After picking out a mix of classics, with appearances by everyone from Nina Simone to Stan Getz, they called up their friend and great designer, Jay Wright, and asked him to put together something that would give the invitation a really appealing look. Modeling it after the famous covers from the Blue Note label, Jay delivered an eye-catching, extremely clever package, made all the more snazzy because it was put together using Jewelboxing.
You'd be hard pressed to find motion graphics work better than the work coming out of Impactist, an amazing Portland-based design studio. Not only do they build some of the coolest promos for big names like Nike (their top client), they also find time to create brilliant, non-commercial pieces under the pseudonym, Robots on Strike. When we got in a copy of their reel here at the studio, we knew we had something extra special, and decided to start a new feature, Case Studies, for which they were the first to be interviewed.
Photographer Marshall Sokoloff has used the Jewelboxing System to produce a limited-edition CD entitled "Sugar." A series of bright, geometric photos, "Sugar" is an exercise in color and composition. The shots were taken at Jarvis Quay in Toronto, where the Redpath Sugar Company unloads its freighters. Opening the stark, elegant cover reveals a single shot played out across both panels of the box and on the disc itself. Marshall also runs the website Blurbism.
The album Designer Ecology by Grappa, musician Matthew Dingee's pseudonym, is an amazing collection of haunting melodies, beautiful and complex compositions, and quiet brilliance. "Grappa is my solo project and features ten tracks that wander through the influences in my record collection. A dash of post-punk, a bit of the old new-wave, a smidgen of shoe gazing noise. There is a little something for everyone." Add a beautiful album design to the mix and indeed there is.
Bubble & Squeak is the online home of designer/director Jason Koxvold. He recently completed a music-video for one of our fave new bands, Citizens Here and Abroad. The film has garnered a lot of attention but when you work like crazy to make something perfect, showing the final product in a tiny Quicktime is less than perfect, so Jason used the Jewelboxing system to pack up a hi-res of Appearances for promotional purposes. Check the song here but be forewarned, it's likely to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Eyeball NYC is one of the leading motion graphics and video post-production studios in the US, producing work for clients like American Express, Bravo Networks and Cablevision. They've used the Jewelboxing system to package their latest showreel titled "Flow." While the design of the packaging is top-notch and fits beautifully with their amazing online presence, it pales in comparison to the variety and quality of the motion-graphics work that's actually on the DVD. Mike Eastwood, Executive Producer said about creating the packaging with Jewelboxing, "its solid construction and stylish appearance compliments our product and makes for fantastic first impressions with our clients." For more info on Eyeball NYC, check out Case Study 5.
The debut album by The Qualia, Nevada's Greatest, has an eclectic sound that's somewhere between 80's synth-pop and an Ennio Morricone score (fans of The Decemberists might also like to know that we think lead singer, Lars Casteen, sounds a lot like Colin Meloy). The album's designer, Max Fenton, worked with the band from a long distance away, all the way across the country. They passed ideas back and forth until they'd come up with a clever structure, wherein the cover is set in the morning, the liner notes and trayliner in the afternoon, and the back of the case in the middle of the night. A complete day. In the end, they had something that was equally as beautiful to look at as it was to listen to. Says Max: "The Jewelboxing templates definitely gave me a running start and let me put my effort into design instead of those printing details that always go wrong."
Brian Taylor's Rustboy is a well-known project on the web. He's making an ambitious animated film and he's letting the world watch as he does it. Brian has employed the Jewelboxing System for testing package designs for the distribution of the finished film as well as for intermediate archives of media materials for presentation and promotion. The simple dramatic design is a perfect metaphor for the painstakingly professional work on the DVDs. Learn more about Rustboy.
Robert Josiah sent us this email with, and about, attachments. "I wanted to give the girls in my life gifts that they could cherish, something that would hopefully even change over time, and even take a while to digest, and I didn't have a lot of money. These girls were my sisters, my mom, and my girlfriend. I decided to design some really great looking mix CDs, with songs that remind me of each individual girl and explanations as to why, printed in the case's inside cover. I chose each palette to fit each girl in my own mind, and then designed a symbol around a memory or experience with that girl. These I printed on the cover and the disc. The quality of the paper Jewelboxing sent me, along with the slick, unique format of the cases most certainly contributed to the fact that each girl ended up crying. Mission accomplished. My favorite part was how easy Jewelboxing made it to actually print these. I'm the type that gets really confused by printers. I didn't have one mess-up." Check Robert's site.
Along with the already-employed's search for better and brighter positions, come May, it's also graduation time around the world and with all of that comes mailboxes full of reels, demos, and everything in between. It's those that arrive on desks that stick out and make an impression that leads to landing jobs. Creative Director Vanessa Harper just finished up with a design program in Orlando, Florida and sent us a copy of her portfolio. Based on what we saw, we're pretty confident it's the kind of work that'll take her very far. Heck, just based on her Jewelboxing design, it proves she knows her stuff.
Ben Kiel is a young designer currently working his way across Europe looking at grad schools. His latest reel was put together using our system. It's a beautiful piece of work, especially after we looked at it close up and realized that all the printing (including the disc label!) was done on a letterpress. We'd offer Ben a job at CP if we had one open just based on the way he combined our modern cases and system with a classic craft-based printing technique. You can see some of Ben's work at his collab site Em-Dash or just wait around until he finishes school and check the award books.
Woxy.com is the stuff of legends. A traditional radio station, bought out and effectively shut down by a gigantic corporation, decides to go it alone and broadcast solely online. Made all the more impressive because it's actually worked. Now, not only do they have some of the most unique playlists around, they also get amazing groups, like The Kills, Low, and The Fiery Furnaces, stopping by to do live, in-studio performances. And what do the groups get when they leave? A copy of their session, named "Lounge Acts," beautifully packaged using Jewelboxing. So impressed were we, we interviewed them for a Case Study feature.
James Hutchinson is an animator and illustrator with a style and imagination as wide as the universe. And it's a good thing too because without his creation, Preschool Protocops, who knows what kind of trouble would threaten our tiny earthbound civilization. James has made lovely use of the Jewelboxing System to present the initial episodes of this animated series. For more about the Protocops, Crashlander and other work from James, visit The Timehead Institute of Entertainment Research.
Wilson Miner of Lawrence Kansas used the Jewelboxing system to make individual music CDs for friends and family. The gifts are an act of love and talent too, check one of his own songs included on the featured package and while you're at it, check his site too. Nice stuff all 'round.
Twothousandstrong in Venice, California is a leading design and production company providing creative services to the television network promotion, commercial advertising and corporate communication industries. They recently sent us their latest showreel which they packaged using our Jewelboxing system. The disc and case look great but there's more to to it than that. They sent the DVD in a beautiful, reflective red envelope that makes an immediate impression and the work done for IFC and other networks really knocked our socks off. Check out much of it, available as Quicktimes at the their site. And for more info, check out Case Study 6.
Santamaria is an unconventional advertising agency based in Hamburg, Germany. Handling print, radio, TV and Internet projects. The agency was founded in January 2004 to search for new and uncharted routes in communication. They've used Jewelboxing for their latest showreel. Here's what they said about the system, "We wanted to have something that already showed from the outside we wanted to communicate with the reel itself: professionalism and high quality. And we got what we needed. Shipping to Germany was fast and all templates worked perfectly." They've also allowed us to host this amazing snippet from a recent animation they've created. Learn more about Santamaria.
Michigan designer Stephanie Socie recently decided to expand her business into the DVD market by launching the brilliant Year in Pictures. "The Year in Pictures DVD is a digital scrapbook for all those great pictures you've taken over the past year. We'll create the slideshow, you sit back and watch the story unfold: from Baby's First Year to Summer Vacation." Her designs and slideshows are stunning, and it's all wrapped up using "the best-looking quality cases we could find.".
Luminair Productions recently completed their documentary/concert film, "Edith Piaf: Her Story…Her Songs," which tells the moving story of the famed French songstress through an extraordinary woman whose modern day Piaf tribute has amazed and engaged audiences around the world. They used the Jewelboxing System to package this film for submission to various festivals including Cannes and Toronto where the movie was a smash. Learn more about Luminair and the film.
Melvin Grefalda is Creative Director for InstallShield Software Corporation. An early adaptor of the Super Jewel Box King, Melvin immediately fell in love with it's great creative potential for displaying important product information in a clear, dramatic fashion. After some prototyping he oversaw the switch over to the SJB for all the company's products and cut packaging expenses in the process. Learn more about InstallShield.
MassDistraction used Jewelboxing to create a digital press kit which includes images, text, audio and video. Justin Wills writes, "MassDistraction designs and conceives apparel, posters, stickers, videos and more. The inside left panel space is perfect for a flexible sales kit. I can create a set of sheets and put in whichever combination is relevant for that time. I also plan on using Jewlboxing for the release of MassDistraction's Sunset Sessions DVD - A chronicling of our summer pool skating / music event series." For more on these "multimedia artists that celebrate modern absurdity through creative anarchy" visit their site here.
Shotgunflat used Jewelboxing to give Macon Landscape an edge and to show off photography of their work to its best advantage. According to Mike McKenna, "The client is thrilled with them and uses them as the x-factor on sales meetings. They said it's really putting them a step ahead of the competition. They leave the prospect with something to hold in their hands and appreciate." Learn more about Mike and the rest of the Shotgunflat crew.
Robert Hinchcliffe is one of the folks behind the all-things-London blog, The Big Smoker and he's participated in a number of CD burning, creating and swapping projects. This is his latest compilation. If you want to make your mixes stand out from the crowd, give the Jewelboxing system a go. There's plenty of room for track lists and lots of area to experiment with display art, plus it's a piece of cake to make different versions for different people. You can find out more about Robert at his personal site.
Young designer Ozzy Farman made this sweet mix-disc Valentine for his girlfriend. Thus spake Ozzy "Anyways, so I run a small (and hopefully up and coming) design studio. I literally ordered the system a week before, and the day I got it, designed and printed this gift. As I'm sure you know, there is nothing like the immediacy of seeing something you create come to fruition in it's final form. This is the first time I've used the Jewelboxing system and I have to say that it's made me fall in love with packaging all over again." The 'up and coming' part seems fairly certain and there ought to be a kiss in it for him too. Check some of Ozzy's other work here.
Even if you've only watched an hour of television over the past five years, we'd wager you've probably seen director/designer Rafael Macho's incredible work. Talented beyond belief, you've seen his work in immediately recognizable national commercial spots, countless opening credit sequences in films, and everywhere in between. Once we'd cleaned off the drool after watching his reel, we got to talking to him for a Case Study feature about his process, his influences, and why he chose Jewelboxing cases to help highlight his work.

+ Super Jewel Box Cases
+ Perforated Insert Books

Overheard in the Rothko room: A one-act play on art and death
- Photo courtesy of the Phillips Collection.
SETTING: The Phillips Collection museum (where TBD will be hanging out with Carla Hall for Phillips After 5 this Thursday!). A white space the size of a large walk-in closet. One Mark Rothko painting hangs on each wall. A reporter lurks in the corner.
CHARACTERS: MOM, middle-aged woman in Chico's-type dress; THREE BOYS, of vague age but likely 10-16; GIRL, between 6-9 years old; EUROPEAN WOMAN, with excellent posture and chic accent.
SCENE: EUROPEAN WOMAN sits on bench, observing the paintings in thoughtful fashion. MOM enters room with THREE BOYS and GIRL. GIRL and BOY 3 plop on bench. BOY 2 sits on floor. BOY 1 hoovers awkwardly with MOM next to "Green and Tangerine on Red."
MOM: (reverently) Do you recognize this?
BOY 1: No.
MOM: It's hanging in our house.
BOY 1: (with no enthusiasm) I never noticed.
MOM: (to BOY 2) Don't sit on the floor.
BOY 2 stands.
MOM: I want you to give me five adjectives to describe this painting.
BOY 1: (dutifully) Cool. Boring. Creative. Stunning.
MOM: But you're bored. How can it be stunning if you're bored?
Inaudible exchange between MOM and BOY
MOM: Go on.
BOY 1: Blue. And purplish.
MOM: I reject purplish. I accept blue because it can have multiple meanings. It can also suggest melancholy.
EUROPEAN WOMAN: (turns to speak to MOM) Actually, he was depressed. He killed himself.
GIRL: How'd he kill himself?
BOY 3: (guessing wildly) He hung himself.
Inaudible, lengthy speech from MOM about meditation and gazing.
GIRL: (ignoring BOY) How'd he kill himself?
Inaudible speech from MOM about people becoming sad, either because of circumstances of "something organic."
GIRL: But how'd he do it?
MOM: (long pause) I think he shot himself.
GIRL: Why.
MOM: Because he was so sad.
Inaudible speech from MOM about some museum in Texas. MOM, BOYS, and GIRL stand up and begin exiting the room.
GIRL: (to herself) Sometimes I'm sad and I don't kill myself.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 44 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jess Comfortable but they roll up They fit true to size, but they roll up from the bottom when doing high intensity workouts. April 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny It's all right It was all right I use them for volleyball just a little too short but i don't know I like them depends how comfortable you feel with your body. And if you are wearing them for your butt to look big, don't. Just dont. It does not make your butt look bigger. And you can some what see your underwear that's why I got the printed ones because you can't really see the underwear April 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Calbo00 Great shorts! Great shorts for cross fit. Wide legs and nice flat waist band, perfect for women who do cross fit!!! March 24, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jess1234 Pretty Good These shorts are really cute, but I thought they'd be a little different material than they were. They fit perfectly except the waist was bang too big for me. I will be returning them for that reason. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by capriss726 Perfect! Love, Love LOVE these shorts. They not only look great but they fit well too. I am 5'4 130lb with an athletic build and it's hard to find shorts that stay in place and are comfortable. I must say these are the best shorts I have come across in a while. I bought them in every color and the price is fantastic. June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sportsman Super comfy, great price, super cute I myself am a guy. I bought these because i like compression shorts but not super long ones (like mens compression). They are very soft and comfortable. They can easily be worn alone or under yoga pants or running short shorts. I like the big waistband because it makes the shorts seem shorter and it is super cute. They breath incredibly well and do wick away moisture. I also like the price. They are very affordable, while providing the same support amd comfort as higher end Nike and Under Armour spandex shorts. May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by boyshorts addict hot comfy feel great too much moneys I really love these shorts although they are much too expensive and I'm not really sure how well they'll hold up though they seem well made the material is quite thin. They have good support and are very comfortable. The waistband is a big plus and they breath well. March 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by 13nvrslpsnf Too expensive for amount of material! For the amount of material these shorts come as, way too expensive! June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen10 Great shorts! Fit great! So comfortable and flexible when running (not restrictive whatsoever)! Bought 3 different colors of these shorts because I like them so much! As a runner I think it's tough to find a pair of shorts that are not only comfortable, but affordable - these are both. Will definitely get more in the future! July 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by paigenicolee8 Great features They are very comfortable, and they also fit nice. July 17, 2015

Porter-Gaud has one of the top boys basketball programs in SCISA, and yet the Cyclones havent won a state title since 2005. One of the big reasons for the Cyclones title drought is Pinewood Prep, which has captured five of the last seven state titles.
The two powerhouses squared off Tuesday night, and thanks to a 15-2 run to open the game, Porter-Gaud rolled past Pinewood Prep, 72-49.
I hope this is the year, Porter-Gaud coach John Pearson said after his team improved to 13-3. We just have more work to do. I hope we can play to the best of our abilities and play in that final game.
Pinewood suffered a big loss before the season when All-American candidate Keith Pinckney moved out of state. The Panthers fell to 8-9.
He was one of the top players in the country, but thats not our problem, Pinewood Prep coach Pat Eidson said. The problem was how we played tonight. We got manhandled. Record-wise, were always close to .500 coming out of December because of the schedule we play. But we have some work to do.
K.J. James was impressive with 16 points in the first half, hitting 8 of 13 from the field. The junior finished with 22 points.
Hes got the potential to be one of the best players to play at Porter-Gaud, Pearson said. His ceiling is so high. He has a chance to be a great player. Obviously, there is Khris Middleton, and weve had some other players play in college. But K.J. can be right up there.
Middleton was a McDonalds All-American who played at Texas A&M before being drafted 39th overall in the 2012 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons.
Sterling Smalls added 12 points, Joe Lucas 11 and Michael Byrd 10 for the Cyclones.
J.D Waite led Pinewood Prep with 15 points while Reid Radebaugh scored nine.
Porter-Gaud, which won three state titles from 2003-05, will play the Panthers in the regular season finale on Feb. 12.
Nothing is easy, Pearson said. I dont think we saw the best of Pinewood tonight. It was one of those nights. Coach Eidson isnt done coaching this team. They will be ready.
Pinewood (49): Waite 15, McClary 3, Radebaugh 9, Ray 8, Schwartz 9, Felder 5.
Porter-Gaud (72): Smalls 12, Cochrane 4, Skelly 5, Byrd 10, Lucas 11, Arnold 3, James 22, Preddy 3, Buyck 2.
Pinewood 10 8 16 1549
Porter-Gaud 20 16 20 1672
