Postgame Quotes: Texas Tech 65, Angelo State 46
November 1, 2013
Pooh Williamson, Assistant Coach, Texas Tech
Opening Statement
When you play a Division II team, do you enter the game with certain expectations?
What do you think you have to enforce with the guys with the new hand-checking rule?
Did anyone in particular stand out in their Tech debut tonight?
Rob Turner, he's still in the process but he had a good game. Randy Onwuasor, who had 11 points in 16 minutes, wish we could have got him some more minutes actually. We played a lot of guys on the front line, but Alex Foster had great energy. He did a great job guarding Williams, their best player. Alex, for a freshman, came in and didn't back down so I give all our new guys credit. They gave impact and put their fingerprints on this game.
Junior Jordan Tolbert, Texas Tech
You outscored Angelo State in the paint, what do you attribute that to?
What was it like having Coach Williamson kind of be interim tonight?
The bench came in scoring 31 points, how much does that help going on in to the season?
Jordan, what did you think about Randy's performance?
Junior Robert Turner, Texas Tech
What was it like playing your first Tech game?
What was going on with the shooting in the second half?
Was Angelo State doing anything to cause that drop?
You guys had more turnovers than assists tonight, how do you correct that moving forward? What do you focus on to tilt that step back in your favor?
Rob, with these new hand-checking rules, we saw that they made 31 free throws, what do you have to do to make sure you don't get called for those?
Chris Beard, Head Coach, Angelo State
How did it feel to be back?
What's your experience at Angelo State been like and how much experience did you pick up at McMurry and the American Basketball Association?
Looks like you were having a lot of fun in the middle part of the second half, what was going right for you all at that point?
It's funny how that works when you're getting your butts beat in the first half, it's not very fun, but in the second half, when you're playing better, then it becomes fun. I was just proud of the guys. I thought as to be expected in the first half we were a little nervous, had some jitters; but in the second half we calmed down and played a little bit. We're a better shooting team than this. We shot the ball terrible tonight. I give Texas Tech some of the credit for that, but we'll shoot the ball better as the season goes on.
What did you think of the effects of the new hand-check rule tonight with all the fouls and free throws?

My new years resolution to make one new recipe a week is, well, kinnnnnda coming along. Most weeks I consider it a new recipe if I throw different ingredients into a pasta dish. Always with butter. Always with pecorino cheese. Not last night, though. Last night we tried another one of Jenna's recipes, the Grilled Balsamic Chicken with Mozzarella and Pesto. It was easy enough, and I think when we make it again and don't overcook the chicken, it's gonna be a really solid dish.
The picture quality is a little random, to put it nicely. We're just starting to explore food photography.

Spike and Mike's Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation is coming to DC but they need your help! In order to bring this animation festival to DC, they need to sell 75 tickets. For a night of laughs and hysterics, $10 a ticket is a bargain. Go here to purchase them NOW! The event will be April 10 at 7:30 PM at AMC Loews Georgetown 14 & IMAX.
Against all odds, Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation has persevered for over twenty years, leaving indelible scars on our young minds from the first time we ventured into that university screening room or local art house and witnessed the carnage and raw sexuality thought impossible of animation. This show is not recommended for those of delicate constitution & no one under 18 will be admitted.
The Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation is an popular cultural event, containing more than 25 spectacularly uncensored adult animations. Highlights include some classic favorites like 'Hut Sluts', 'Horned Grandma', 'No Neck Joe' & 'Home Honey I'm High'. Brand new twisted toons from Australia, Japan, France, Denmark & Canada are also featured! See the graduate student film of Cartoon Network's 'The Regular Show' director JG Quintel. Dedicated to giving you more than your money's worth, they'll be including extra bonus films.
The Sick & Twisted Festival began in 1990 as a home for animated pieces that were simply to adult in nature for Spike and Mike's prestigious Classic Festival of Animation. They have theatrically premiered a who's who list of current Animation Industry Giants, including the 'Beavis & Butthead' series, South Park's 'The Spirit of Christmas', the first films of Eric Fogel who is the creator of MTV's 'Celebrity Death Match', the creator of Cartoon Network's 'The Regular Show', the creators of 'Dr. Tran', 'Happy Tree Friends' and many more!
The festival has drawn an impressive following and contains high praise:
"Spike & Mike's Sick & Twisted Animation Festival is like Disney with Tits!" - Robin Williams, Actor
"And on the 13th day, God created Spike and Mike, so sayeth the D." - Jack Black of Tenacious D, Actor
"Dubbed the kings of tasteless toons by animation industry giants!" - Trevor Groth, Program Director Sundance Film Festival
"I was so knocked out that there was animation like that, and all collected under one banner. That's why I fell in love with Spike & Mike." - Seth Green, Actor, Producer

The meeting was part of Obama's "Young America Effort," which focuses on energizing younger voters to go to the polls and support him.

"Maybe the only man I truly get nervous around. Worth the early wakeup call," said Agron.

GMSV, thanks for the the effort of putting on a great no-frills grass roots event. I wish more events (except a select couple of weekends) would stick to this model. Many of us don't require the pomp and circumstance and just want to bang heads with our pals in the mud for an hour, wash the bike and get the hell home. As always there are going to be little things to improve on for next year (would have been nice to have one more running section and perhaps one more pavement section), but overall a big improvement!

Cyclists around here are pathetic. Anyone who raced on Saturday is not complaining. What a great race and great location. No parking issues, a very tough course especially for the "2nd" weekend of racing on a very warm afternoon. I don't need to pay $40 to race. $33 was perfect, hopefully GMSV made a few bucks and was worth their time. We need more races in that area, easy to get to for many people.

Listen -- a billion people are throwing up. That's a rough estimate of course, but every year somebody at the Oscars says a billion people on the planet are watching the program; however many watched this year's Oscar show, they may well have felt sickened by it. It was a stomach-churning, jaw-dropping debacle, incompetently hosted and witlessly produced.
Marie writes: It's a long story and it starts with a now famous video of a meteor exploding over Chelyabinsk, Russia. Followed by alien conspiracies fueled by the internet and which led me to investigate further. Where did it come from? Does anyone know..? Yes! According to The NewScientist, the rock came from the Apollo family of near-Earth asteroids, which follow an elongated orbit that occasionally crosses Earth's path.That in turn led me to yet another site and where I learned a team of scientists had discovered two moons around Pluto, and asked the public to vote on potential names. They also accepted write-in votes as long as they were taken from Greek and Roman mythology and related to Hades and the underworld - keeping to the theme used to name Pluto's three other moons. And how I eventually learned "Vulcan" has won Pluto's moon-naming poll! and thanks to actor William Shatner who suggested it. Behold Vulcan: a little dot inside a green circle and formally known as P5.

We know that "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982) is the best of all of the "Star Trek" movies. I am not stating anything new here. The rest of the series of films struggled to repeat the mastery of this film, and the reboot has also fallen short, thus far. I did, however, watch Star Trek 2 recently to see if the overlooked "Star Trek: First Contact" was able to take the helm as the Best of the Treks. In the process, however, I realized that Star Trek 2 is a much better movie than I remembered. I invite everyone to watch this movie again to appreciate how great it really is. This is a great movie. It is exciting. It is complex. It is emotional and philosophical. It is one of the great adventure movies.
"With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story" is available on-demand at Netflix.com, Amazon.com, iTunes, EpixHD.com and Vudu.com. Stan Lee will be attending a special screening of "With Great Power" at the Stan Lee Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles on September 15, 2012.

The title, "With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story," is a tip off, but if the only Uncle Ben you know is a nattily dressed black gentleman who sells conveniently packaged rice, then Stan Lee wants to invite you to his Marvel universe. This is the world where Uncle Ben adopted his orphaned nephew who would be bitten by a radioactive spider in high school. That sullen, selfish teen would soon find that the bite of karma can be transformational and he becomes a super hero with an attitude: Spider-Man.
San Diego Comic-Con International is a celebration of cartoons, costumes and fictional and real characters. Recent years have brought increasing commercialization. Many of the panels are little more than tantalizing propaganda for upcoming TV programs and movies and the panels bare their wares as brazenly as the whores who used to walk the Gaslamp District before it became a hip place to be. But SDCC is also a venue for introducing and releasing movies that have a link to geek culture and SDCC hosts a Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival.

"Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel" is available March 27 on online outlets via iTunes, Vudu, CinemaNow and Amazon. Also on DVD and Blu-ray.
For B-movie buffs, exploitation film aficionados, and midnight movie cultists, the grand finale of "Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel," will be every bit as exhilarating as that montage of forbidden kisses at the end of "Cinema Paradiso." Taking its cue from the liberating, rebellious high point of the Roger Corman-produced "Rock and Roll High School," in which P. J. Soles and the Ramones rock the hallways of Vince Lombardi High, it offers up dizzying bursts of quintessential Corman: cheesy monsters, fiery car explosions, Vincent Price, blaxploitation kickass, marauding piranhas and Mary Woronov with a gun.
Alex Stapleton's "Corman's World" celebrates the singular cinematic legacy of the "King of the Bs," who has improbably and regretfully fallen into obscurity. Observes director Penelope Spheeris ("The Boys Next Door," "The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years," "Wayne's World"): "If you ask a 20-25-year-old film buff, they won't know who he is."
This despite a career that spans almost 60 years and more than 400 films that Corman either directed or produced. But while his own name may be unfamiliar, many of the once-fledgling actors and filmmakers whom he nurtured/exploited are not: Martin Scorsese ("Boxcar Bertha"), Ron Howard ("Grand Theft Auto"), Peter Bogdanovich ("Targets"), Jonathan Demme ("Caged Heat"), Joe Dante ("Piranha"), Robert DeNiro ("Bloody Mama"), Pam Grier ("The Big Doll House"), screenwriter John Sayles ("The Lady in Red") -- all these and many more appear in "Corman's World" in new and archival interviews.
"The Captains" is available on Netflix, EpixHD.com, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu and DVD. It will screen on HBO Canada March 21.
Stardate 65630.8 (1 March 2012)
What made "Star Trek" the most "durable and profitable franchise" in entertainment history? In his documentary, writer-director-producer William Shatner makes a convincing argument that it was "The Captains" -- they set the tone and they brought the theatricality and Shakespearean linguistic grace to TV.
"The Captains," appeared in October, 2011, in Canada, had one-night screenings here and there across North America, and helped launch EpixHD.com. That all seems in keeping with Shatner's impressive role as a new-media barnstormer. No, he's not making political speeches, but he's on Google+ and Facebook, and he's traveling around North America promoting and preserving what may be his most lasting legacy, his role as Captain James T. Kirk. He's even returned to Broadway in a one-man show covering his career before, during and beyond "Star Trek." (Yes, "returned.")
In Hollywood, people joke about the William Shatner School of Acting. He's corny. He's melodramatic. And he has a sizable ego. But he's really not a bad actor. We forget that before "Star Trek," Shatner seemed destined to become a fine stage actor. He first made the trip to Broadway from his native Canada in 1956 with a small part in "Tamburlaine the Great" in 1956. The production had two Tony nominations. He scored the starring role in "The World of Suzie Wong," which ran for two years. Both he and the female lead won Theatre World Awards for their work. In 1962, he was one of the main performers in "A Shot in the Dark," for which Walter Matthau won a featured actor Tony. All that momentum got sidetracked when he went Hollywood.
Marie writes: If you're like me, you enjoy the convenience of email while lamenting the lost romance of ink and pen on paper. For while it's possible to attach a drawing, it's not the same thing as receiving hand-drawn artwork in the mail. Especially when it's from Edward Gorey..."Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the...", a children's story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey's shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Gorey's drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity. This was the beginning of an invigorating friendship, fueled by a wealth of letters and postcards that sped between the two men through the fall of 1969."
Marie writes: Belgium club member Koen Van Loocke has submitted the following and it's so awesome, I have no words. But first, background..The Cinematic Orchestra is led by composer/programmer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Swinscoe, who formed his first group "Crabladder" in 1990 while a Fine Arts student at Cardiff College. The group's fusion of jazz and hardcore punk elements with experimental rhythms, inspired Swinscoe to further explore the musical possibilites and by the time the group disbanded in the mid-'90s, he was playing DJ at various clubs and pirate radio stations in and around London.
Marie writes: remember "The Heretics Gate" by artist Doug Foster? Well he's been at it again, this time as part of an exhibit held by The Lazarides Gallery - which returned to the subterranean depths of The Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station in London, to present a spectacular group show called The Minotaur. It ran October 11th - 25th, 2011 and depending upon your choice (price of admission) dining was included from top Michelin-star chefs.Each artist provided their own interpretation of the classical myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and as with The Heretics Gate before it, Cimera, Doug Foster's new and equally as memorizing piece made it possible to project whatever comes to mind onto it, as images of body forms and beast-like faces take shape and rise from the bowels of earth.

Marie writes: Once upon a time when I was little, I spent an afternoon playing "Winne the Pooh" outside. I took my toys into the backyard and aided by a extraordinary one-of-a-kind custom-built device requiring no batteries (aka: artistic imagination) pretended that I was playing with my pals - Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too - and that there was honey nearby; the bumble bees buzzing in the flowerbeds, only too happy to participate in the illusion. And although it didn't have a door, we too had a tree - very much like the one you see and from which hung a tire. A happy memory that, and which came flooding back upon catching sight of these - the animation backgrounds from the new Winnie the Pooh; thank God I was born when I was. :-)

Marie writes: In a move which didn't fail to put a subversive smile on my face, works by the mysterious graffiti artist Banksy began to appear recently in Hollywood as Academy Awards voters prepared to judge Exit Through the Gift Shop, which is up for best Documentary. (Click to enlarge.)
The most controversial thus far was painted on a billboard directly opposite the Directors Guild of America HQ on Sunset Boulevard. A poster advertising The Light Group (a property, nightclub and restaurant developer) was stenciled over with images of a cocktail-guzzling Mickey Mouse grasping a woman's breast. As it was being removed, a scuffle broke out between workmen and a man claiming the poster was his "property" - presumably triggered by the fact that an authentic piece by Banksy is worth thousands. To read more visit Banksy targets LA ahead of Oscars at the Guardian. And to see more pictures go HERE.
Marie writes: I love cinematography and worship at its altar; a great shot akin to a picture worth a thousand words. The best filmmakers know how to marry words and images. And as the industry gears up for the Golden Globes and then the Oscars, and the publicity machine starts to roll in earnest, covering the Earth with a daily blanket of freshly pressed hype, I find myself reaching past it and backwards to those who set the bar, and showed us what can be accomplished and achieved with light and a camera...
Cinematography by Robert Krasker - The Third Man (1949) (click to enlarge images)
Q. I believe the film did try to address the issue of why the characters "have to physically parachute to land on a platform." If I'm not mistaken, it is mentioned that the drill is interfering precisely with the function of the beam; the drill must therefore be disabled manually before the beam can be used. In this case, then, the logic may not be entirely puzzling.
From Rachel Dixon, St. Louis, MO:
Above: That gritty Hollywood literalism and/or naturalism: "Off-putting to the contemporary sensibility."
I was wrong. Last night, just before going to bed, I read Stephen Metcalf's "Dilettante" column, "The Worst Best Movie: Why on earth did 'The Searchers' get canonized?". This did not make it easy for me to get to sleep, so I dashed off a preliminary response in which I harshly characterized Metcalf's piece as an "inexcusably stupid essay... about a classic John Ford Western." But now, re-reading the column in the light of day, I realize that Metcalf was hardly writing about "The Searchers" at all. And nearly every observation he does make about the film itself is cribbed from something Pauline Kael wrote (see more below). He'll just fling out an irresponsible, non sequitur comment like, "Even its adherents regard 'The Searchers' as something of an excruciating necessity," and let it lie there, flat on the screen, unexplained and unsupported. So, while I stand by my claim that what Metcalf has written is stupid and inexcusable (for the reasons I will delineate below), I don't think it has much to do with "The Searchers."
Instead, Metcalf is reacting to his own perception of the film's reputation (and in part to A.O. Scott's recent New York Times piece admiring "The Searchers"), using the movie to snidely deride people Mecalf labels "film geeks," "nerd cultists" and: ... critics whose careers emerged out of the rise of "film studies" as a discrete and self-respecting academic discipline, and the first generation of filmmakers -- Scorsese and Schrader, but also Francis Ford Coppola, John Milius, and George Lucas -- whose careers began in film school. (The latter are later characterized as "well-credentialed nerds.") The fault, then, in Metcalf's mind, is not so much in the film as in those who brazenly take film seriously as an art form. Using "The Searchers" as an anecdotal, ideological bludgeon, Metcalf attempts to attack the impudent and insidious notion that movies are worthy of serious study and artistic interpretation. Holy flashback to Clive James!

Sept. 4, 2006
Tailback Kenny James contributed to a Husky running attack that amassed 300 yards rushing on Saturday, in a 35-29 win against San Jose State. James rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown, as well as 30 yards receiving and another touchdown. GoHuskies.com caught up with Kenny this week.
GoHuskies.com: What was your assessment of the running game on Saturday?
Kenny James: That is something that coach Lappano and all the offense coaches put into our heads during training camp. We had to come out and run the ball in order for us to be successful as a team. Especially as an offense, we need to run the ball in order for us to put some points on the board.
GoHuskies.com: What impact does a solid running game have on the passing game?
Kenny James: It helps us out a whole lot to see the running game open up the passing game. And when you have the ability to run the ball like we do and throw the ball like we do you know it's going to be hard to stop us.
GoHuskies.com: Are you gong to change the your running game based on the different defensive fronts that Oklahoma poses next Saturday?
Kenny James: Everything is going to be the same. Oklahoma, you know from watching film, their defense is in attack mode, But everything is going to stay the same. We're not gong to change anything. We are just going to go out there and play hard.
GoHuskies.com: We saw the running backs last Saturday run a couple routs out of the backfield. Are we expecting more of this against Oklahoma on Saturday?
Kenny James: Hopefully. Coach Lappano does a great job at calling plays and creating mismatches and great match-ups with the defenders. But as long as I am doing something to help the team, then I'm happy.
Gohuskies.com: How does it feel to be finally 1-0?
Kenny James: It always feels good to start the season at 1-0 .Especially since we haven't had a 1-0 start since 2001. We are the first team to do that and it feels great.

To prepare for "Wrestlemania 30," the WWE has been broadcasting its "WWE Main Event" television taping live on the WWE Network for the past few weeks. According to Rajah.com on March 27, this may continue as the WWE deal with the ION Network ends next week and "WWE Main Event" will no longer air on cable television.
The final date that "WWE Main Event" will air on ION will be April 2. The next week, the television network is advertising a "Burn Notice" marathon.
The idea that the WWE was broadcasting a live version of "WWE Main Event" on the WWE Network made it seem like the company was phasing out the cable deal anyway. The WWE needed to do this to try to work out the bugs and glitches that interrupted "WWE NXT: Arrival," and showing "WWE Main Event" live gave them that chance.
It also hurt the ratings for the Wednesday night show on ION, since people with the WWE Network already watched it on Tuesday night.
Now, unless fans have the WWE Network, they won't be able to watch "WWE Main Event" at all. It is smart thinking for the WWE, who already have "NXT" on the WWE Network as well. The more unique new product the WWE can distribute on the WWE Network, the more it seems like something fans must have.
It is unclear if the WWE will continue to air "WWE Main Event" live or if they will tape shows in advance and just show the taped shows on the WWE Network after "Wrestlemania 30."

THY Expands Its Fleet
Within the last month, Turkish Airlines embraced its new series of wide-fuselage aircraft, which was ordered previously.
A-330-300 passenger-type and A-330-200 freighter aircraft ordered from Airbus have begun to be delivered and were introduced at the AIREX 2010 aviation fair held in Istanbul. On the other hand, Turkish Airlines received its first 777-300 ER aircraft from Boeing. The Chairman of the THY Executive Board, Hamdi Topçu, who spoke at the ceremony held in Seattle, said, "The fact that we added new Boeing 777-300ER's in our fleet provides both that we expand in business with more income and also that we serve our customers with more quality and comfort." A ceremony was held at the Ataturk Airport ramp for the aircraft named Dolmabahce. The airplane which carried THY executives and press members was welcomed by the aqua show performed by the fire brigade vehicles from DHMI (General Directorate of State Airports Authority) at landing in Istanbul. THY General Manager Asst. Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil stated that the aircraft with bigger fuselage will undertake significant missions and provide benefit in long distance flights, adding that the year 2011 will be a very active one globally. The new wide-fuselage aircraft of Turkish Airlines were designed by the world-famous design company Priestmangoode. Priestmangoode both reserves its national identity and produced a modern European interior for the cabin through the image it created for Turkish Airlines. Priestmangoode made use, for the cabin interiors, of the rich and colorful heritage of Turkish culture, especially Istanbul – from flamboyant fabrics and pattern designs to the ceramic tiles.

The Book of Negroes is a 6-part mini-series based on Lawrence Hill's acclaimed novel. Working with CBC and Conquering Lion Pictures, we developed an immersive online experience that delved into profiles of each character, recounted as monologues direct to camera.
We worked with Lawrence Hill on developing the scripts, produced and shot with talent, designed and developed the site along with supporting social assets. The series itself became one of the most successful CBC properties in nearly a decade, pulling in record numbers. View the Online Experience
In addition to the digital property, we worked with The Book of Negroes Director, Clement Virgo, to develop the opening title - leveraging the design cues we had established with the online work.
Finally, an app was developed with partners TD Canada Trust to act as a companion to the show and further educate audiences on Black History and slavery. The app itself has been revered on Apple's App Store and made the "must-have" app list of 2014.

Working with the TASSIMO US team, we wanted to showcase the benefits of the TASSIMO brewer while taking a less technical and more "day-in-the-life approach". The 2 spots feature our target demo as she balances life while enjoying both the benefits and convenience of the TASSIMO system.
Coupled with an informative landing page, the videos help position the TASSIMO system as one that can not only neatly fit into your life, but highlights the many why-buys associated with being part of the TASSIMO family.

When Gevalia wanted to introduce their new café-style beverages for the Keurig K-Cup brewer, they realized they needed a platform that was both educational and informative.
Developed as a truly responsive experience, the Gevalia hub houses a commercial used to launch the new products across all social channels, while the site itself speaks to the 2-step process, real milk offering, and beverage variety.

After going through a massive product recall in March of 2012, TASSIMO wanted to showcase the passion, artistry and science that goes behind both their beverages and the TASSIMO system. These stories were meant to reinforce quality and the commitment to a superior product. We traveled across Europe to capture various stories, from the Centre of Innovation in Banbury, UK - to the Gevalia roastery in Gevle, Sweden. Each vignette functions as a lifestyle piece that re-articulates the brand message: The Barcode Brews It Better.
As part of a complete overhaul of the [dot]ca property, these videos served as educational content that were featured predominately across the site experience.

For the 2011 Festive Season, TASSIMO launched a campaign that pitted the TASSIMO brewer against an onslaught of characters. From a coffee house barista, to an Elf, to Santa himself - for 24 days in December, the TASSIMO showed its stuff by brewing drink after drink, perfectly. Each video highlighted key why-buys of the brewer in a tongue and cheek way.
As part of a daily contest, users were asked to select who they thought would win the battle - if they answered correctly (and smartly, as the winner was always TASSIMO) they would be entered to win a TASSIMO brewer. Part contest, part engagement, part competitive claim against other on-demand brewers, TASSIMO Festive was an extremely successful program.

On the heels of 2011's PB& campaign, Kraft PB was looking for a way to engage with their core consumers - and given that everyone eats peanut butter their own way, we wanted to turn it over to the community to share their ultimate Kraft PB creations.
We developed "PB Creations", an application that let users build and assemble their sacred Kraft PB creations with an array of ingredients. The builder compiled all of the ingredients and then animated them into a glorious creation. The creations were shared on social networks, complete with personal stories. For the remainder of the summer, Kraft chose select creations from each city and toured the country in a Kraft PB food truck delivering free creations.
Social, meets sampling, in a truly unique initiative from Kraft Canada.
Thinsations wanted to reunite consumers with the snacks they love from their childhood. So we developed "Reunited" - an interactive and social music video flashback that brought back those old hits, boardgames and snacks into a customizable video experience.
The takeaway: all of your favourite snacks are available in 100-cal bite sized form.
A fun and engaging social journey, "Reunited" leveraged Facebook Connect to pull in photos, relationships and even your school, to create a custom music video experience to "Reunite With the Snack You Love"

After the success of the launch of Nike SPARQ Training, Nike wanted to highlight some of the other athletes within their roster of hockey superstars. Building upon the library of SPARQ training videos, we added another 20 exercises that hockey athletes could execute off the ice. To promote the new videos, we produced a video with Jarome Iginla, Steven Stamkos, Dion Phaneuf, Gillian Apps and Robin Regehr.
The program was highly successful and furthered the Nike SPARQ brand as a viable and authentic training program for hockey athletes.

In 2009, Intel was looking for a new DAOR. Organic took the opportunity to pitch for the work and had a week to do so. Not uncommon. But the vigour in which we did is an accomplishment in itself. In a few short days, we conceived and developed a short film to convey our understanding of the "Sponsors of Tomorrow" platform - and in the remaining days, shot and produced a video that would setup our presentation.
In a video that relied heavily on post production and CGI, James McIntosh Jr. and I approached the project much like a film - and given the timeframe, James was working on CG models well before we even started principle photography. The result is something I am extremely proud of, and moreover, it helped Organic win the DAOR account.
A testament that despite unreasonably impossible deadlines, you can still craft some magic.
Visual Effects & CGI: James McIntosh Jr.
When Kraft Canada was looking to expand on their long running Kraft Peanut Butter campaign "Spread the Feeling", I turned the camera turned to my son Ethan to capture his morning PB ritual - the footage I captured speaks for itself.
The result was a concept video that informed the larger campaign of PB &, which invited Kraft PB lovers across Canada to share and document their treasured PB moments online, and featured TV spots shot and executed in the same vain.

For the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC, I worked directly with Nike and Leafs' Hockey vlogger Steve Dangle to produce daily video segments for Nike's YouTube channel and brand hub.
By conducting interviews with athletes, on street promotions, Tweets from inside the arena and video game recaps, Dangle became a highly visible voice of hockey passion for Nike, and the brand supported him through multiple digital channels including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Nike ensured the site showcased the latest stories, athletes and events, with a bold, epic look that leveraged the offline campaign and maintained a consistent message.
After seeing the tremendous results and engagement for this approach to digital marketing, Nike committed more resources to Dangle and YouTube. Throughout mid November 2010, the Nike/Dangle YouTube channel was the #1 most viewed sponsored Canadian channel on YouTube.
After they were publicly called out for how much revenue they were generating through bank fees alone, Bank of America wanted to better educate their customers about how to avoid them. The solution was to develop an online hub of content to call out the pain points of banking, and more specifically, how to avoid fees. We developed a series of short question / answer videos between consumers and Bank of America associates, and these vignettes were tucked neatly into a micro-site that allowed users to delve further, contract their branch, and receive free advice on how to save on fees.
The portal was highly successful, and more importantly, positioned Bank of America as a bank that cared about its consumers and genuinely wanted to make a difference.

TASSIMO didn't just want to send a greeting to moms for Mother's Day, they wanted to sing it. For 2 weeks leading up to the big day, the team at Trapeze locked themselves in a studio with the barcode choir and began churning out over 700 user submitted greetings for moms.
Part social, part user generated content, the TASSIMO Mother's Day campaign took a playful, surprise and delight approach to celebrating moms - while making the TASSIMO system top of mind for MD. In addition to submitting a greeting to your mom, moms themselves could "hint" to their kids that they would love a TASSIMO.

Admittedly, the discussion on diagnosis can be dry. Yet, it is the first step in learning how to live, and not just survive, with an autism diagnosis. As previously discussed there is a DSM criteria for diagnosing autism. Each category will be an article and so it is important to know for there to be a diagnosis a total of six or more items on A, B, C, with at least two from A and one from B and one from C. While this can be confusing imagine this. You watch your child wandering around the yard, on their own without interacting with anyone, praying to themselves. Are they autistic? Chances are probably not since it does not interfere with life function, hasn't occurred for six months or more, and while it qualifies as "impaired social function" is only one of two requirements of A. Chances are your child is probably going through a phase.
Today's discussion is on Item A: Impaired Social Function. First mentioned under A is the inability to understand and monitor non-verbal cues from others such as facial expressions or eye -to-eye contact. Eye-to-eye contact, interestingly enough, is not even comfortable for autistic individuals since they already struggle with sensory overload eye contact is one more thing that distracts them.
The second item under A is an inability to develop peer social relations. It seems they relate to either older or younger people, preferably older. It seems adults usually have a higher tolerance level and handle the idiosyncrasies of autism more so than children.
The third and fourth items complement each other. The third item is the inability to reciprocate socially or emotionally. This does not mean they are not compassionate, it simply means they lack the ability to interactively play with others and prefer solitary play.
While some behaviors can be noticed at birth, social impairments are not really noticeable until they start interacting with other children at daycare, nursery school, or begin school. If you suspect at an early age your child may have autism it is good to not only have someone diagnosis your child, but to keep a journal of behaviors as well. Autism can mimic other disorders and your child may receive an initial diagnosis that does not provide a good fit. A written journal of behaviors for the doctor will help immensely in a proper diagnosis.

Can I Have More Than One SIMPLE IRA Account?
Original post by Tom Streissguth of Demand Media
The SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) IRA allows small companies to set up a retirement account for their employees. Both employers and employees can make contributions to the plan; tax on the gains is deferred until you reach retirement age and begin withdrawals. In the meantime, the IRS excludes the contributions from your taxable income, up to a maximum exclusion amount.
Multiple Accounts
You may have more than one SIMPLE account, as long as your various employers have no legal or corporate relationship. The IRS will defer taxes on the gains in the accounts until you begin taking distributions. In addition, the money you contribute to the accounts is excluded from the income your employer reports to the IRS. However, the IRS limits the exclusion on these contributions.
Exclusion Limits
As of the time of publication, the exclusion limit is $11,500 for a single account; this limit rises to $14,000 if you are 50 years of age or older. The IRS limits you to a $16,500 for all SIMPLE accounts, if you have more than one. The exclusion amounts are subject to annual review and a cost-of-living adjustment. Your employer is not responsible for keeping track of your contributions to a SIMPLE IRA set up with another employer. If you attempt to have income excluded over the annual limit, you will be subject to an IRS audit and fines.
IRS Guidelines
The IRS limits the size of companies that may establish SIMPLE IRA accounts. They may have no more than 100 employees who earn $5,000 or more in a calendar year. In addition, you may not have more then one account with a single employer. Companies that contribute to another active pension or retirement plan may not contribute to a SIMPLE account in the same year.
Withdrawals and Distributions
If you take a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA within two years after you enroll in the plan, then the IRS levies a 25 percent early-withdrawal penalty. If you make a withdrawal after this period but before you reach age 59 and 1/2, you are subject to the early-withdrawal penalty of 10 percent. The other rules applicable to withdrawals from conventional IRAs also apply to SIMPLE IRAs.

"My aim is to craft a ceremony that is beautiful, expresses what it is that makes your bond so special and engages your family and friends." - Jessie.
Every person has a different notion of the perfect celebration, be it casual, formal, intimate or extravagant. Your celebrant needs to listen to you, getting to know you through a series of meetings, phone calls and emails, ascertaining your beliefs, values and preferred aesthetic – taking all of these factors into account when designing your ceremony.
The devil is in the detail
I perform a range of services: weddings, naming ceremonies, renewal of vows and commitments. I believe your perfect wedding - or ceremony of any kind – will be achieved through creative thinking and problem-solving. My clients know how to articulate their needs and they expect a truly individual reflection of this in their ceremony. With a background as a visual artist and actor, I realise how important it is that your service be unique and distinguished by fresh ideas.
My mission is to craft you a ceremony that flows well, engages your family and friends, and expresses what it is that makes your bond so special. I will use a combination of language and ideas that fits with your approach to life.
I promise to bring a boundless supply of personal energy to your ceremony – you'll get my full attention when you need it and my personal touch, to design something joyous and authentic.
Every ceremony I create is individually written and designed to tell your story.
All clients receive my 70 page booklet titled 'Your Wedding.' This booklet is a gift from me to help you select the details that will make your ceremony unique. It contains poems, readings and useful information to help personalise your wedding event.
What is unique about me?
With a background in fine art and design, and an ongoing acting career, I have a flair for the visual, the dramatic (or the subtle) where it's required. I can choreograph your event so it moves logically from one chapter to the next; and I'll make sure the duration of your service is just right. I take a contemporary approach with fresh ideas about how to present you to your family, friends – to the world!
I am a stickler for details and very much care about achieving the best possible result, as if it were my own celebration. I promise to put you at ease, prepare all the necessary documents in plenty of time and give you confidence in a polished and joyous outcome.

When most people write their first song they imagine what it would be like to play in front of a large crowd, the lights shining from above and the audience hanging on your every word. Most never get a chance to share their music or live out the dream of being on a rock and roll tour. Ruston Kelly could never have thought he'd get a chance to live out his rock and roll dream when he posted an ad on Craig's List looking for a saxophonist and a drummer while at Middle Tennessee State University. He probably never imagined that day would start him down the path to a year and half of touring and opening for the likes of G. Love, OAR, and Blues Traveler. He most certainly could not have seen then that all the pieces were already falling into place for the band that would become Elmwood and those first songs wrote on his guitar while living in Cincinnati, would be played night after night in front of large crowds hanging off of his every word. Of course looking back on it now, maybe that is why Ruston describes the first band practice as nothing short of "divine intervention".
Call it fate, call it circumstance but Ruston may have been born for the non-stop touring lifestyle with out even realizing it. From an early age Ruston's family had always moved around, most recently spending several recent years in Belgium, while his father, worked as an ex-pat. If anything, this nomadic lifestyle has only fueled his desire to travel, "I have always thought of myself as a Nomad, always wanting to move from place to place". But it was during his time in Cincinnati attending Wyoming High School that he wrote his first songs, which according to Ruston "were always about girls and my then idea of what I thought politics were about". Influenced from the simplistic beauty of Neil Young and Johnny Cash as well as Jackson Brown, Ruston's early writings would be the bulk of Elmwood's early songs. Ruston moved from Cincinnati and finished his senior year in Belgium, Brussels before returning stateside to attend college. It was the summer of 2008 when he began playing with Nash Johnson and decided to expand on their fun. Once saxophonist Derek Haight and Drummer Donnie Marple replied to that fateful Craig's List ad, no tryouts were necessary "we just knew it was the perfect fit right away".
The formation of the four-piece band brought the completion needed to the songs Ruston started writing at age 14, "the songs sounded like what they were supposed to sound like all along".
This is the point where the story ends for most college bands; they get together during school to play some shows, have some fun and always have those glory days to look back upon. That was not the case for Elmwood. Divine intervention might be the only way to explain how Ruston found the perfect band mates on the first try; judging from how quickly things came to fruition for Elmwood. It was a show at a small dive bar in Nashville where Steven Dahl first heard Elmwood. He immediately called his father Steve Dahl at Paradigm and insisted he come see this band. Taking his son's advice, Steven came to Elmwood's next show and was immediately impressed, booking them soon after. In and age when it takes most bands years (if ever) to get noticed, Elmwood was booked and recording tracks with former Jeff Beck and Meatloaf producer Alan Shacklock, and going on a national tour -- all in less than 6 months. Their whole world changed that quickly notes Ruston, "we were just playing in bars, and everything took off".
The first task was to hit the road opening for Tea Leaf Green, a band who lives and dies on tour. But passion and desire are not the only things you need to make it through a tour. The members of Elmwood will be the first to tell you, " It requires a lot of work and you need to be mentally sound". This is why a good band needs to surround themselves with a core group of people who believe in your music. For Elmwood, that group consists of tour manager Steven Dahl, booking agent Jeffrey Hasson, along with band manager Shawn Radley (who also manges Howie Day). Being surrounded by a team "who [can] log countless hours for us", was the last piece needed. The day-to-day operations for Elmwood remained simple, "…just living in a van and chasing the dream", but their maturation, as a "road band" would come quickly. Elmwood would move into an opening spot with G Love & The Special Sauce after Tea Leaf Green; followed by headlining dates at various festivals. By the summer of 2009, Elmwood was opening for Blues Travelers and played the side stage for Dave Matthews Band; who share a sound similar to the crowd-pleasing style of Elmwood. The rest of the decade was booked solid for the guys as they reached new cities and audiences headlining with OAR before embarking on their own 50-day tour. While back in Nashville on a two-week December break, Elmwood didn't even bother taking a breather after such a grueling schedule. "We spent the entire break just rehearsing non-stop", according to Ruston. It is that kind of dedication and focus to growing musically that is evident on their second album. " When I listen to our live tracks on the second album from touring with OAR, [we] just sound so much more developed then before", notes Ruston. The addition of bassist Justin Smith is one reason for this, who has helped further the band.
If there is any evidence that Elmwood has the kind of infectious sound that any audience will get into, then look no further than the quality of bands that have brought them in to open. As for how Elmwood approaches each show, "it's just a great cathartic release playing on stage that we try to convey to the audience".
The new decade for Elmwood kicks off where they once started, opening for Tea Leaf Green. Only this time Elmwood will be more polished and expect to bring more energy to their shows, "we want to step it up to the next notch and play our hearts out on stage, and that's all we can really do. That and try to remain thankful and respectful for how we got here". How they got here is obvious to any one who has seen Ruston play his Takamine guitar on stage. Where it was once in great shape at MTSU, after non-stop touring the body's finish is nearly gone, worn off by over use, giving it a look that puts Neil Young's guitar from Conan O'Brien's last show to shame.
As for this new tour with TLG, Ruston says, "you hope more people will be into your music and if not, well I will just go work on a horse farm…(pause) it's true!" With all the success and the pace at which Elmwood has moved since their formation, for Ruston Kelly a career in the Equine services would be far better suited in less talented hands.
Elmwood opened for Tea Leaf Green at 20th Century Theatre on January 28, 2010. For more tour dates check the band site at www.elmwoodband.com . Elmwood will return to 20th Century Theatre to headline in April.
