The New PGA
Pro golf unveils the FedExCup, a format that will crown a Tour champion with a four-tournament playoff
Jeff Williams
From the Print Edition:
Sopranos, Mar/Apr 2007
After the first round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship, a tournament that he would eventually win, Vijay Singh slumped in his pressroom chair and looked a little peeved. The questions weren't about his opening round of 69, a fine score in blustery conditions in his first competitive round of 2007, but rather about the FedExCup. "I just answered that question, didn't I?" said Singh. "I'm not worried about the FedExCup. It's a great thing for us to think about when the time comes to think about it." The concept of the FedExCup has been in the thoughts of the PGA Tour professionals for more than two years. Now, the reality is here.
At stake is a ton of cash, potentially greater television ratings and even the legacy of Tour commissioner Tim Finchem. For the first time in decades, the Tour is revising its format, abandoning the long (and often dull) march from the first week in January to the Tour Championship Presented by Coca-Cola the first week in November.
Now we have the FedExCup, and doubtless you've heard plenty about it already. Along with earning a wallet-busting paycheck in each tournament, PGA Tour players now earn points toward the FedExCup championship, a series of four "playoff" tournaments that culminates with the Tour Championship. That tournament has been moved from the television graveyard of the first week of November to the middle of September. The goal is to get all the best players (read that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson) playing against one another week after week in a format that brings the main golf season to an end with a bang rather than a whimper.
The carrot is a $10 million award for the FedExCup winner and millions of dollars for the other top finishers, which will all go into the players' retirement accounts. That's a lot of money for any golfer, but will it matter enough to the billionaire-to-be-Woods or the multimillionaire Mickelson to tough out what could be seven tournaments in eight weeks?
Woods has shown interest in the new competition, if for no other reason than it will shorten his season considerably, but he hasn't fully wrapped his chiseled arms around the concept. When the FedExCup was first announced in the middle of the 2006 season, his response was: "It's a no-brainer. We are doing the right thing."
But like all great players, and particularly Jack Nicklaus, Woods's schedule is geared toward being in top form for the majors, and with 12 career major titles he is now just six back of Nicklaus's record of 18. "It's an unknown since the year has been switched around, but I'm going to try to figure out a way to get my schedule so I can peak for the major championships," said Woods at the start of 2007. "I have to have enough energy to peak for the majors and have enough energy for the end of the year."
The Tour has hitched itself to Woods's stardom for the last decade, but it was also clear that something had to be done to enhance the Tour's overall allure, especially in the television market. When Woods wasn't playing, it was as if no one else was either. Mickelson is a draw, and to a lesser extent Singh and Ernie Els. But when Woods doesn't play, especially in the bigger second-tier events, his absence beheads a tournament and its telecast. He didn't play in the Tour Championship last year and hasn't played in the Mercedes-Benz Championship, for winners only, the last two years.
So now there is the FedExCup, an attempt to cast the spotlight over a larger segment of Tour players and tournaments, providing enticements for Woods and Mickelson (perhaps), a definitive championship (in some people's eyes) and a hoped-for television ratings boost (TV contracts were coming up for renewal starting with the 2007 season).
"What we saw at the end of last year, we didn't have guys [Woods and Mickelson] playing in the Tour Championship," says Davis Love III, the veteran player who is a member of the PGA Tour's policy board. "We had a kind of drop-off in interest towards the end of the year. So we needed a more impactful finish, and the players were asking, Why can't we finish in August or September rather than going all the way through to the first week of November? We needed something to sell to TV that wasn't the same old thing. You know, if Polo [Love's clothing line] didn't change something every spring and fall, they just brought the same clothes every time, you would get tired of it."
Practically every sport except tennis, even NASCAR, has playoffs now. NASCAR has its Chase for the Nextel Cup in which the top 12 drivers in points, qualify for the final 10 races of the year to determine the driving champion. The success of the National Football League playoffs, the Major League Baseball playoffs, the NCAA's March Madness and NASCAR's Chase made the Tour consider revamping its schedule. "NASCAR's changed, baseball's changed, football's changed their playoffs," says Love. "Hockey made some huge changes so that they would have a package to sell. I think that's what we had to do to come up with something that people wanted to watch and something [exciting] that carried the audience all year."

Officials reviewed and overturned Dez Bryant's apparent 37-yard touchdown catch, ruling his hand hit out of bounds, and the Cowboys couldn't get into the end zone after the overturned reception.
n't quite believe they were able to hit a touchdown in that situation. I kind of kept looking for the replay," Manning said. "You know the game was not going to be over until that clock hit zero."
This was the 20th time in Manning's career that the Giants rallied in the fourth quarter to win. And this comeback came after New York blew an early 23-0 lead.
"It speaks about our resiliency. We know how to win these games," receiver Victor Cruzsaid. "We've been in a bunch of them."
After their sixth win in seven games since a season-opening home loss to Dallas, the Giants (6-2) hurriedly cleared out of Cowboys Stadium trying to get home as quickly as possible with Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the East Coast.
The Giants are 4-0 in Arlington since Jerry Jones' football palace opened in 2009 with a New York victory.
"I'm very disappointed right now," Jones said. "I thought after all that, our defense played well enough, our offense kept going and I thought we were going to get a chance to pull one out."
Coupled with Sunday losses by Philadelphia (3-4) and Washington (3-5), the Giants strengthened their hold on the NFC East lead halfway through their schedule.
New York led 23-0 just 2 minutes into the second quarter when defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul returned an interception 28 yards for a touchdown. That was the third of four interceptions thrown by Tony Romo, and Dallas (3-4) finished with six turnovers.

Barney's Rubble
Bill Gates' worthy contributions, eBay's pass on Passport and what the announcement of the Mac mini might mean for Microsoft.
Bill's boys recently sued a spammer and took him for more than $7 million. Besides hawking leather jackets, spammer Glenn Hannifin made the fatal mistake of pitching ultra low-cost Microsoft software. Seeing $30 copies of Office for sale apparently didn't sit well with Redmond.
Meanwhile, the spam king Sanford "Spamford" Wallace has agreed to stop distributing spyware. After bragging about his millions of spam messages, Sanford moved on to installing spyware. Then he sold useless spyware removal software to those he infected in the first place.
Wallace's software is particularly heinous. It actually opens CD trays, slows down PCs and in some cases, stops them entirely. Under terms of the court agreement, Wallace can still send out pop-ups. You just can't keep a good spammer down!
Take a Pass on Passport
I'm thrilled to be getting so many
e-mails from Chief Concerns readers. Unfortunately, most of your recent messages skewer me for my Passport comments. Just days after I published a Passport love letter, eBay went ahead and dumped it, preferring to use its own ways to store credit-card data.
Cheap Macs
It doesn't matter what Apple does. They could hire Jennifer Lopez to give out free Macs and grizzled IT vets would still shy away. Consumers are different though, and that's why the announcement of the $500 Mac mini is so good. Macs as cheap as Dells could entice those who are tired of living with application errors. Even more so, the Mac mini will draw the anti-Microsoft hordes that have been trying to make desktop Linux actually work. The young, hip iPod crowd will snap 'em up like Eminem CDs.
This could be the best thing to happen to Windows XP since the Intel chip. Competition is just the kick in the pants that Redmond needs. The result will be better Windows and ultimately a more popular Microsoft.
Get What You Deserve
America's largest computer companies got billions of dollars from Microsoft to settle antitrust claims. California consumers—overcharged from 1995-2001 because of Microsoft's dominance—were given $1.1 billion in refunds. Unfortunately, folks filing last minute claims ran into a brick wall. For many, the Web site with the claim forms simply wouldn't work. (Still no word on whether it ran in IIS or Apache.) Redmond will save millions on these refunds simply because it was so dang hard to file a claim. First, you have to get the form from the Web site, which had various compatibility issues. Then you apply for a voucher. Then you attach the voucher to the sales receipt for the new hardware or software. Then wait for your refund of $5-$29 to show up.
Oh, and you have to prove you bought the software in the first place. This isn't Redmond's fault. It's just the way the system works. Maybe they should have let them use Passport!
As always, feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com.

I agree John that what Bill is doing with his wealth is truly remarkable and is saving and improving countless lives. Thansk for your thoughts here.
It is written that "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven". It is also written "But with God all things are possible". Bill Gates, to me, by his acts of giving so generoulsy, is an example of how, with God's help, a rich man can can enter the kingdom. I hope you are able to send this email message from me to him.

A must-see evening of "astonishingly accomplished puppetry." The Telegraph (U.K.)
A cantankerous puppet with a cardboard head is having an existential crisis on a table. Blind Summit, theatrical innovators who have created puppetry for Anthony Minghella, Complicite and Danny Boyle's Olympic Opening Ceremony, presents epic puppetry inspired by Beckett, the Bible and IKEA. Hilarious, beautiful and occasionally profound, this show is a visual feast of Bunraku puppetry. "With considerable wit, Blind Summit proves once again that when you're working in miniature, you don't have to think small" (The Guardian). (Recommended for ages 13+ due to strong language.)

Staff Writer
Mainers are burdened by some of the highest energy bills in the country. Paying $3,000 to $4,000 a year to heat a home is not uncommon. Over the next month, state lawmakers will try to agree on specific steps to lower those costs.
In this October 2012 file photo, The Revs. Alice and David Anderman show off a new energy-efficient furnace, hot water tank and foam insulation-covered walls in the basement of their home in Waterville.
Staff photo by David Leaming
A handful of proposed laws aim to increase access to natural gas, help homeowners switch heating systems, and make homes and businesses more efficient, so they use less fuel or electricity. In some cases, taxpayers, oil heat customers or utility ratepayers would help pay for the measures.
But with a Democratic majority in the Legislature and a Republican governor who is averse to spending hikes and rate subsidies, meaningful accomplishments will demand compromise.
"We have the potential for a stalemate if we go along partisan lines," said Sen. John Cleveland, an Auburn Democrat who is co-chairman of the committee that handles energy legislation. "And that would not be a good outcome for Maine."
Some of the key bills would:
• Redirect money now spent on cutting electricity consumption and use a portion of it to subsidize the purchase of more efficient home heating equipment or home weatherization.
• Authorize a $55 million bond issue to weatherize and upgrade efficiency in homes.
• Add resources to Efficiency Maine Trust, a fund supported by the auction of greenhouse gas emission limits that supports energy efficiency programs.
• Create a state authority to issue bonds that would pay for expanding natural gas pipelines, giving more residents access to a less expensive fuel for heating.
Cleveland's committee has held public hearings on a few of these proposals, but most are expected to be presented over the next three weeks. The Legislature has set a May 17 deadline for committees to finish their work on bills, so there's not much time.
Cleveland said his goal is to craft elements of the leading bills into a comprehensive package that can gain political traction but also have real benefits for Mainers.
"If we can't find common ground, it's likely that most of these bills won't survive," Cleveland said. "We can't all be purists on this issue, or we'll get nothing done."
Cutting heating costs is the focus of a proposal from Gov. Paul LePage. It would shift millions of dollars from programs that lower home and business electricity usage to efforts that can cut home heating bills.
The plan would essentially change the mission of Efficiency Maine Trust, the quasi-public agency set up in 2009 to administer energy efficiency programs. Most of the trust's funding comes from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI, a program in which air-emission limits are sold at auction, and through a small tax on electric bills, called a system benefit charge. Because the funding is linked to electric rates, most of the trust's programs are aimed at cost-effective measures to cut electricity costs, such as upgrading motors in factories or subsidizing compact-fluorescent light bulbs.
"I think there's a genuine interest in refocusing on heating costs," said Patrick Woodcock, the governor's energy director.
Changes in the RGGI program mean Maine stands to take in up to $9 million this year. Forty percent of that -- roughly $3.6 million -- would be earmarked for homeowners to cut heating costs, through measures that could include buying more-efficient heating systems, switching from oil to natural gas, or weatherizing their homes.
Cleveland has agreed to co-sponsor the bill, which could give it added weight. Despite that, the bill contains elements that Cleveland acknowledges he and other Democrats will find hard to support.
For instance: One provision exempts some larger businesses and industries from paying into the system benefit charge. The aim, according to Woodcock, is to lower electric rates for businesses that compete in parts of the country where costs are lower.

Re: Clayton mosque: Disquiet over plan
A report in The Age on the Monash Uniting Church's opposition to the construction/renovation of the mosque included this quote from Reverend Hoon You: "The meaning of 'mosque' is 'submission', so when Islam invades European countries and they dominate, the first thing they do is build the mosque".
I emailed the Monash Uniting Church to express my disappointment at these comments but have yet to get a response. I wrote that the church, as represented here by their lay and spiritual leaders, more closely resembled a collection of Islamophobic conspiracy theorists than compassionate Christians, or multi-faith Australians. I wrote: "Your opinions are at odds with Australian society, its political parties, its religions, and its cross-religious peak bodies. Your comments have been rejected by the broader Uniting Church, which is otherwise at the forefront of interfaith co-operation and a great supporter of progressive social justice reform.
"Your comments display hate, not love; fear, not compassion. I entreat you to publicly repudiate your earlier display of ignorance, irrational fear, and hate." Neither Mr Farrell, Mr You or, as far as I am aware, the local church community, has rejected these positions. They must be reminded that religious pluralism is a cornerstone of our democracy and the persecution of a minority religion by an established religion smacks of malicious self-interest.

The house at 16 Beddoe Avenue is already being used as a Muslim prayer space. Converting this place into a mosque will not interfere with the neighbourhood since its use will remain the same. There are many examples of mosques built near houses and the call for prayers does not disturb the residents in the street. Angela (via web)
Wouldn't it be nice if we really could all get along regardless of colour, religion or tradition? Sometimes it doesn't always work that way, but I know our family tries our best.
We don't object to the mosque but we're very concerned about the tower and the call to prayers. If the adhan or call to prayer is called out by the muezzin five times a day, as is the custom, and if this is going to become the status quo, then perhaps it might have to be rethought.

Congratulations. Long live Australia!

If this were a Christian church, it would been approved. Before any mosque is approved, take the violence out of the Koran. Muslims do not tolerate anything but their own view of God.

Re: MPs gear up to cut bike safety fee
This is well and truly overdue. Now is the time for the Baillieu government to adopt the committee's findings, starting with abolishing this toll.
Re: Cigarette sting turns up heat on Monash retailers
Isn't that entrapment? How many 16 year olds can look 18 or older? Monash Council should have better things to do.

Recipe: Grapefruit Posset
A British pudding of sweetened cream that's lightly curdled with acid, posset might be the most low-maintenance dessert we know. Posset is not a shopping-list generator: chances are you already have what you need to whip up a basic one. It's not a kitchen diva: making a batch doesn't require scrounging up multiple mixing bowls, lugging out your Kitchen Aid, or even turning on your oven.
At the Grill Room at Windsor Court in New Orleans, Kristin Butterworth's tasting menu concludes with a simple "citrus posset." She sent us a version that's flavored with grapefruit, but we think it would play nicely with any winter citrus, like tangerine, blood orange, or Meyer lemon.

Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong.
Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems.
But excessive anger can cause problems. Increased blood pressure and other physical changes associated with anger make it difficult to think straight and harm your physical and mental health.
Adapted from the Encyclopedia of Psychology
What You Can Do
Controlling anger before it controls you
Anger is a normal, usually healthy emotion we all experience. But when anger gets out of hand, it can cause problems at home and at work. There are ways you can get control of your anger, instead of letting it control you.

Maglio Cuba Tasting Bar - 50g
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Puglia
City / Village: Maglie
Each of Maglio's tavolette use cacao from one particular region for a distinctly pure flavor. The Cuba tavolette contains a minimum of 70% cocoa of the Criollo variety grown in Cuba.
It has an amazing balance of aroma and flavor with notes of tobacco, cedar and coffee. We find the flavors of this bar to be almost as 'dark' in its flavors as the Africa, but with a touch more sweetness.

While children are waiting for permanent families, we place them with foster families where they will enjoy an attentive, family-like environment. The quality care helps children develop, and it helps them to better prepare to bond with their adoptive parents. In situations where we must use institutional care, we use a high ratio of childcare workers to children along with attentive childcare methods that ensure children receive physical and verbal affection and stimulation. We consider each child's situation individually to find the best long-term solution for that child. Because we also investigate the possibilities of preserving the birth family or domestic adoption, you can be assured that international adoption was the best solution for your child.
With our staff at work on both sides of the ocean, the rights and lives of all involved in the adoption are safeguarded - the child, the birth parents and the adoptive parents. Our ultimate goal is always to see the child safely, happily and permanently in the right loving home.
Holt International Appoints New President and CEO
The Holt International Children's Services Board of Directors elected Phillip A. Littleton as President and Chief Executive Officer on April 28, 2012. Since 2008, Phil has served as Senior Vice President. In this position, Phil provided guidance and leadership for all aspects of the organization, while directly overseeing Holt's marketing, communication and development efforts. In the last few years, under Phil's leadership, Holt has successfully expanded its scope of services overseas, particularly in China and Africa.
Phil joined Holt in 2003 as the Vice President of Marketing and Development. In the ten years before he joined Holt's leadership staff, Phil worked for what is now the world's largest marketing and communications agency exclusively serving nonprofit organizations – the Russ Reid Company in Southern California. As the manager for the agency's largest single account – Christian relief organization World Vision U.S. – Phil crafted messaging and media strategies that created record growth in donations, ultimately expanding the organization's capacity to serve people in need. During his tenure as Vice President-Group Director at Russ Reid, Phil also led the charge for the most successful launch in the history of Time Life Music and directed efforts that quadrupled membership in Columbia House's Christian Music division. As Phil says, he helped organizations grow.
In 2003, Phil moved from California to Oregon to devote his time to helping just one organization grow. As Holt International's new Vice President of Marketing and Development, Phil began developing strategies to expand Holt's donor base, particularly through one already existing program – child sponsorship. Following a model that also proved successful for World Vision, Phil created a team to develop partnerships with 25 different performing artists and speakers – all dedicated to sharing Holt's mission and promoting child sponsorship. Over seven years, Holt's donor revenue from all marketing efforts grew by four times, enabling significant expansion of services for children and families in Holt's programs overseas.
While devising strategies to grow Holt's international programs, Phil also led a redesign of the way Holt recruits and educates adoptive families. Moving from print to web-based promotion, over five years these efforts helped double the share of adoptive families Holt now finds for children.
A father of three, Phil adopted his two sons domestically at birth. After fostering several children in their home, he and his wife recently adopted their youngest – a daughter – from the local foster care system.
David Lim
Vice President—Asia Programs
David Lim began his career in 1969 as a social worker with Holt Children's Services of Korea. As Director of Social Services, he created several innovative programs that have continued to flourish throughout the years, including counseling services for single mothers. In 1972, David came to the U.S. to pursue a master's degree in social work. After six years of working for The City of Chicago and the United Christian Community Services in Chicago, he accepted a position as Holt's Field Director for South India where, from 1982 to 1983, he coordinated with orphanages to place India's orphaned and abandoned children in loving homes. Upon return to the U.S., David was tasked with opening Holt's Kentucky Branch Office and, in 1989, he became the director of Holt's Southern California office.
After resigning in 1993, he returned two years later as Director of International Programs for Northeast Asia. While in this position, he started to build a close working relationship with overseas governments in Northeast Asia, advocating for both international and domestic adoption programs to find homes for homeless children. He also established Holt's Mongolia program and North Korea orphan projects to improve child and family welfare programs in the region. David continues to oversee Holt's programs in South Korea, Mongolia and India and works with overseas governments to advocate for adoption programs and services for orphaned children. His work with North Korea orphan projects continues. David holds a Doctor of Ministry Degree. He is also father to two children, including a daughter adopted from Korea in 1985.
Thoa currently holds the position of Holt senior executive for Southeast Asia. In this role, she implements vision and strategic priorities that ensure growth in programs and services for orphaned and abandoned children, provides leadership and strategic oversight of regional programs and operations, and represents Holt with government officials and overseas alliances, advocating for country laws and policies that provide stability and opportunity for vulnerable children.
His first responsibility at Holt was to direct and grow the child sponsorship program, paving the way for hundreds of children in Holt's care to benefit from monthly donations of generous sponsors.
In 2004, Jack became Holt's director of marketing and development, responsible for daily operations and administration of Holt's development activities.
Today, as vice president of development, Jack serves as a senior member of Holt's leadership team and is responsible for the planning, design, organization and implementation of strategy for all fundraising activities, including Holt's Gifts of Hope catalog, a year-round catalog that provides donors an opportunity to give much-needed gifts and services to children and families in our overseas programs. Jack's direct responsibilities include managing Holt's fundraising, organizing long-term planning strategies and managing development staff.

While studying for my MA in Product Design (read 'playing and experimenting with materials') at the RCA in London, I had a bit of an idea. "I don't want to buy new stuff all the time. I want to hack the stuff I already have so it works better for me." (I didn't really say it out loud. I just thought it.)
A partial visual history of sugru
From "hmm" to "yay" via "eureka" and "wow".
If I'm honest, the first version of sugru was pretty horrible — made from smelly silicone caulk and waste wood dust from the wood workshop. But it helped me hack my kitchen sink plug bigger, and make a knife more comfortable.
The smelly silicone I'd made back in February wouldn't leave me alone. I knew it could be amazing. I pictured it as kind of space-age rubber — super easy to shape, sticky, and durable. I knew it needed to feel gorgeous and that, if I cracked it, it'd have a million uses.
But it was only an idea. I mean, I gave up chemistry in school!
As part of my Final Year project, I returned to the idea and got excited. This was bigger than just me. I got out my sketchbook and started imagining a world where this material existed.
I knew that, by tapping into people's innate creativity, all kinds of products could be transformed and improved. I knew that we could adapt and improve almost anything mass produced.
I refined my prototype material with pigments and finer powders and presented it at my final exhibition. When the most common questions were 'how much is it?' and 'where can I get it?', I got even more excited, and decided I had to make my concept real.
I started gathering a team of specialists to help me turn this material into a real thing. The first were my partner James and my business partner Roger, then two incredible scientists, Ian and Steve, who had just retired from top jobs in the silicone industry. Then David, an awesome and wise patent lawyer.
Nesta, the UK's innovation think tank, awarded the Company a £35,000 Creative Pioneer grant to get off the ground.
We drank champagne on a street bench to celebrate.
After paying a contract lab £5,000 to do 3 experiments, I realised the only way to develop this material was to do it myself.
With Steve's help I set up a small laboratory, and learned the basics so I could start what was to be 2 long hard years of formulation work.
We had our first sucessful results in our chemical formulations, and applied for some patents.
This was enough to bring in some investment funding to take the product development to the next level. Thanks to the great guys at Lacomp who believed in us so early on. That night we drank Champagne in a little vietnamese restaurant.
Everyone knows a small company can't build a household brand. You need to build a partnership with a big Multi-National Corporation, right?
Jane and Roger started making friends with the nice people at some of the world's leading glue Companies.
We started exploring potential industrial uses for our materials with some really interesting brands.
For example, we worked on a cold curing grippy material for garden tools. And we worked with a top pencil manufacturer on some concepts for a new super-grippy premium range.
We started to get consistently strong and stable materials, but making sure the material stuck to lots of other materials was still a big challenge.
Our user trial group (mainly our friends) grew to over 100 people. Their feedback was feeding into our work. Basically everyone was saying "make it stick to more stuff".
The pace of developments with the big Companies was very slow. My designer friends at Atto Partners had been nagging me for a while, and it began to sink in.
I started to feel that maybe we could build our own brand. Another friend told me "Start small and make it good". The dream started coming back.
Five years later, and I'd never found a good name. One day around now, riding downhill on my bike I thought of the word sugru, inspired by the irish word for 'play'.
I fell in love with it.
Our funding was running low, and we were still a way off with our development. We started pitching for investment again, but it was different this time, the recession meant we pitched to almost 100 investors.
With the recession getting deeper, we were scraping by on our overdraft. With no great signs from investors, we hit a low point.
Tears were shed.
I made a new years resolution.
Stop listening to other peoples advice. Go with my gut.
At last a private investor put up just enough funding for us to launch sugru ourselves.
We set ourselves a deadline of 6 months to make it happen. It was now or never.
We bought a small mixer and working with one of our engineer friends to design a packaging machine, we built it for £5,000 and it ran on an arduino.
We designed a brand to get ourselves excited. We made videos, designed packaging, and built a website.
Having converted our lab into a little factory, we spent days and nights making and packing sugru. All of our friends and family helped.
It took an entire month of blood, sweat, tears and favours to make our first 1000 packs.
We'd sent Harry Wallop at the Daily Telegraph Technology blog a pack to try out. He gave it a 10/10 review. Wired and Boing Boing saw it and linked to our new site.
Things started to go crazy. New links came thick and fast. Our first 1000 sold out in 6 hours.
(This is me, on the floor, in shock.)
We put another 2000 packs up for pre-order. We said that it'd take us months to ship the orders. They sold out in 10 hours.
Everything was different now. How could we make more?!
All of a sudden, we had our pick of some pretty awesome investors.
This influx of money would help us build the factory we needed, and to start building our team. We did just that.
While we were getting our factory and supply chain up and running, we started getting out – meeting our customers. The Newcastle and Bay Area Maker Faires were highlights – we loved meeting all the awesome people we'd talked to online.
After a 6 month ramp-up, we re-launched sales properly with an updated website and a warehouse full of sugru.
In the first week, we shipped to more than 40 countries. A lot of good people had been incredibly patient, and it felt great to share our idea with the world.
We started receiving hundreds of stories from new sugru users all over the world. So exciting. This is why I invented sugru in the first place.
We got an email from Rob, who had trekked to the North Pole with sugru grips on his ski poles. We realised we had customers in 6 of the 7 continents of the world. We asked the community if they had friends in Antarctica who would like some. They did.
Our first retailer, the London Design Museum, started stocking sugru.
TIME Magazine listed sugru alongside the iPad as one of the top 50 inventions of 2010.
The iPad was number 34, sugru was number 22.
Team sugru had grown from 2 people to 6. We had our Christmas party in our new factory.
The sugru community was growing — it was now in over 60 countries! My favourite part of every month was digging through community's contributions before writing the monthly email update.
Over half of our community is in North America, so we set up a company there to speed up shipping, and to supply US-based retailers.
Our community hit the 50,000 people mark. We drink pints in our local pub to celebrate.
A little film inspired by a hack by a sugru user gets 50,000 views in a week.
It's an amazing idea, and people are inspired.
sugru is featured in the V&A's amazing exhibition the Power of Making. Team sugru grows to more than 10 people.
All of the community's feedback and photos are showing us what sugru is really good for, and who finds it really useful.
All of the feedback makes us very confident that it's not just for fun — it's a great technical solution.
While continuing to keep community creativity at the heart of what we do, we get focused on bringing sugru to the next level, where more people can find it when they need it. When their cables break, or the fridge door cracks, or their hiking boots leak.
Hack of the month from Rob in sussex shows how to make glow in the dark tent pegs with sugru.
We evolve the sugru website to start sorting hacks, tips, information and inspiration by interest group. Lots more work continues behind the scenes.
Our network expands to lots of lovely resellers in the UK and the US, and we launch with our first large retail group, allowing customers in 50 UK towns and cities to buy sugru locally for the Christmas season.
The team reaches 15 people and we started to feel like…sardines in our space. For months we'd been trying to wrangle the empty unit next door… we finally get the keys! From the left: Roberto, Charlotte, Sal, Rodrigo, Nanette, Suki, Ben, James, Justyna, Me, Eva, Rafal, Madeleine, Tom. Missing = Roger, off doing his thing :)
We get lots of snowy images of fixes from the slopes - fixes and mods to snowboards, ski poles, gloves, boots and helmets. It's awesome to see sugru being trusted and performing well in extreme situations!
We're thrilled that sugru is one of the 50 winners of 'Britain's new Radicals' - a list compiled by the Observer and NESTA showcasing "the inspiring people and businesses that are changing the UK for the better" Even the UK Prime Minister commented :)
Hack of the month goes to @Robiot6 on our community forum for her clever thinking - "My fridge is not very practical for our family usage, I was missing a silly 0.5cm to be able to stack our yogurts - sugru fixed it for me!" A simple and elegant solution that would be difficult to do without sugru - awesome!
In the time since we launched, we'd had hundreds of emails asking for different colours, and the ability to mix a wider range of colours. It wasn't as easy as we hoped but after some great work in the labs, we finally cracked it... and as of april '12, sugru comes in primary colours!
Back in March, a super cool sugru user called Eimear sent us an image of a sugru repair she'd just done for one of her students, Foridha, whose wheelchair joy-stick controller kept breaking. It didn't hold up unfortunately so around now she got back in touch to ask for help. James was taking the community emails that day, and he noticed the postcode – Foridha and Eimear were only down the road! So he and Ben jumped on their bikes to give them a hand.
Our user community expands to over 100,000 customers, and our confidence in sugru is growing :) Our vision from the start has been to help get the world repairing and making again. This means appealing to not only fixers and DIYers, but people who don't yet fix. We decide to bring our mission to the fore, and we evolve our brand and our packaging accordingly. We love our new motto - The future needs fixing.
The fix of the month goes to Joanne who reminds us that sometimes a fix can make a big difference, not just a small one.
Her heart was set on competing in an epic canoe race up the yukon river - 700km long. But with no fingers on her left hand, it was looking impossible. A small modification to the paddle allows her not only to compete, but to finish the race - after 3 days and 3 nights straight paddling. She says she wouldn't have been able to do it without the mod.
We're blown away!
Being based in London, we've been getting excited about the Olympics for quite a while. We've also been working on a secret project with Leon Paul London, a leading fencing equipment brand to develop a foil handle that athletes can personalise for themselves. So we were absolutely thrilled when we learned that James Davis, the youngest member of the British Olympic fencing team, was so happy with his personalised foil that he would be competing with it in the Olympics!
A strong interest in sugru has been building in Scandinavia. We agree a partnership with some like-minded fixer entrepreneurs from Norway, Halvard and Edvard, to promote and distribute sugru in the Nordic region. They love sugru, and are passionate about the same stuff we are. It's fun already.
The inaugural London Design Festival 'Design Entrepreneur' award goes to...
ME! Woohoo! After moving into the various worlds of science and business, it's awesome to be recognised for our creative vision and achievements by a jury composed of some of the most radical and famous designers in the world including Thomas Heatherwick and Ron Arad.
Here's me accepting the award at an exclusive ceremony in an amazing hall in the Foreign and Commonwealth buildings in Whitehall!
sugru has always been about so much more than itself. We felt strongly that we could help fuel a conversation about why a culture of fixing is important - so we made the Fixer's Manifesto. It hit a nerve and was shared all around the internet. We printed lovely letterpress posters, and made them available through the sugru.com shop.
sugru-er Jamie, an expedition writer and all-round awesome person sent us an email to tell us about his epic journey across Mongolia. He'd packed sugru 'just in case' and found that it came in really handy! Along the way he patched up his boots, repaired a rafting paddle and even fixed a favourite toy for a new friend.
The bits we don't have photos for:
The 500 emails Jane received from the first article about her idea in the British Airways Magazine. They gave her the conviction to make it real.
The 8,000 lab-hours we put in before we had a formulation ready to launch in September 2009.
The 3 fantastic funders & investors who invested before we'd proven anything.
The 25 amazing investors we found after we sold out of our first 2000 packs.
The countless friends and family who've helped us along the way.
The thousands of customers who've sent us pictures, stories and feedback since we launched.

"Lavazza Espresso Coffee and Espresso Machines; The first class espresso experience…"
Lavazza's seeds were planted in 1895 when a small grocery store in Northern Italy was purchased for a mere $20. Today, Lavazza is heralded as "Italy's #1 Coffee," and with over 75% of Italy drinking their coffee, it's hard to argue. Their lines of whole bean espresso, drip coffee and espresso pods are not the only shining examples of the company's high-quality reputation. The two new single-serve capsule machines the Lavazza Blue 2210 and the Espresso Point have become a great way to enjoy the delicious taste of Lavazza.

New Rep Opens Its 28th Season With RENT, Opens 9/6
New Repertory Theatre, in residence at the Arsenal Center for the Arts, is thrilled to begin its 2011-2012 Season with Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical RENT. Due to the Labor Day holiday falling on a Monday, RENT will open for the press on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 7:30pm and run through Sunday, September 25, 2011 at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in the Charles Mosesian Theater.
"RENT is the ideal production to open our 2011-2012 Season, which has the theme of legacy." says Harriet Sheets, Managing Director of New Repertory Theatre.
Ms. Sheets continues, "15 years after its Broadway premiere, RENT is just as powerful. It transcends multiple generations, as its overarching message of love and friendship is timeless. I am proud New Rep is the first professional regional theatre in New England to produce RENT."
Benjamin Evett, the director of RENT, adds, "I am excited to be working with such a wonderful, talented artistic and design team."
Mr. Evett adds, "RENT is a powerful evocation of a defining cultural moment in America-the end of the last millennium. Jonathan Larson brought 'musical theatre to the MTV generation' by addressing relevant social topics of the times, topics that are still relevant today, by the way, and by combining the various mediums of video, music, and theatre. He created extraordinary characters that young people can really relate to, then and now. It's their journey, from naïve self-absorption to an appreciation of the real value of life and family, where I want to focus our energy. I want to create a world that is rough, exciting, chaotic, and inspirational for the characters living in it, and hopefully for the audience, too."
RENT features New Rep favorites Aimee Doherty (The World Goes 'Round, The Last Five Years, Darling Divas Deck the Holidays,
Hot Mikado, Speed-the-Plow, tick, tick,...BOOM!, The Wild Party, and Into the Woods) as Maureen, Eve Kagan (Passing Strange) as Mimi, and Maurice E. Parent (Passing Strange, Cabaret, The Wild Party, and Ragtime) as Tom Collins.
Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of a group of struggling bohemian artists living in New York City's Lower East Side. This ground-breaking and powerful rock opera, based on Puccini's La Boheme, explores the necessity of love and friendship, and the repercussions of living with AIDS in modern day society. Fall in love with this timeless musical all over again with iconic songs like "La Vie Boheme," "What You Own," and "Seasons of Love."
New Repertory Theatre presents provocative and intelligent works of both established and emerging playwrights in an intimate setting that involves and engages the audience. New Rep has earned a reputation for Dynamic Productions that honor the writers and feature talented professional actors from the New England Theatre community as well as guest artists from around the U.S. New Rep has received Elliot Norton and IRNE Awards for outstanding acting, scenic design, directions, and production. Programming for New Repertory Theatre is supported in part by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
John Ambrosino (Mark) Las Vegas: Jersey Boys (Bob Crewe, Billy Dixon and Others). 1st National Tour: The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley (Flat Stanley). Regional: Pageant (Miss Deep South), The Wild Party (Oscar D'Armano), I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change! (Man #1), David the Musical (Young David).

Lifestyle Changes
Your diet, weight, physical activity and exposure to tobacco smoke all affect your cholesterol level — and these factors may be controlled by:
- eating a heart-healthy diet,
- enjoying at least 150 minutes a week moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, and more than two days a week muscle strengthening activities, and
- avoiding tobacco smoke.
Know Your Fats
Knowing which fats raise LDL cholesterol and which ones don't is the first step in lowering your risk of heart disease.
Cooking for Lower Cholesterol
It's not hard to whip up recipes that fit with the low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol eating plan recommended by scientists to help you manage your blood cholesterol level and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Understand Drug Therapy Options
For some people, lifestyle changes alone aren't enough to reach healthy cholesterol levels. Your doctor may prescribe medication. Learn about:
- types of cholesterol-lowering drugs
- tips for taking medications
Avoid Common Misconceptions
We have created a list of the common misconceptions, along with the true story, about cholesterol.
Work with Your Doctor
It takes a team to develop and maintain a successful health program. You and your healthcare professionals each play an important role in maintaining and improving your heart health.

Episode 1 - New Project BeginsDescription:
Bob begins a brand-new project in the heart of South Carolina's low country. Located in Mt. Pleasant, the neighborhood of I'On values community living and puts an emphasis on nurturing a traditional small-town feeling.

 Our project, the Duany Plater-Zybek "Lifespan" home, is designed with state-of-the-art features, and its construction has been planned around new building techniques developed to make the house more resistant to extreme weather.

 Bob tours the coastal town of Mt. Pleasant and meets the contractor, Kevin Kalman, and other I'On developers to discuss building strategies and techniques.

Dec. 8 — Water was bubbling up from various locations in a 15-foot area from both the east and west sides of Wollochet Drive. The water was flowing directly onto the roadway with the threat of erosion to the road surface. Rainier View Water Company crews, along with Pierce County Public Works were dispatched to the scene. Sandbags were placed at the downhill of the effected residence owner's driveway for water diversion, while water utility crews shut down the main water line. The cause of the water break was not immediately known.
