The Duck pun is somewhat unintentional. The message, of course, is that true leaders through their actions—not necessarily their words—inspire others to achieve.
Though Mariota and the Ducks lost the title game, there's no question the quarterback led Oregon football with the talent, skill and composure rarely seen from a college athlete. He has additional credentials worth mentioning. Mariota won the 2014 Heisman Trophy—college football's MVP honor—and was the 2014 consensus national player of the year. As a three-year starter, Mariota led the Ducks to a 36-5 record, and set an NCAA record by passing for a touchdown in all 41 career starts. He is the only three-time, first-team all-Pac-12 quarterback in conference history.
The soft-spoken Mariota was rarely penalized and widely recognized by teammates and opponents for his sportsmanship, character and selflessness. Good guy. Lethal competitor.
In accepting his Heisman last month, Mariota said the award belonged to his Oregon teammates and coaches, and thanked other coaches and teachers in his life for the "countless life lessons that have shaped me." Mariota credited his Polynesian elders for teaching him "humility and respect" and to be "mindful and faithful." Finally, through his tears, Mariota thanked his parents for their love and sacrifice.
Oregon Head Coach Mark Helfrich said his quarterback has "everything you'd want in a football player." I humbly add that Mariota is beyond his years (he's 21) as a leader with confidence, intelligence, drive, poise, focus, perseverance and the ability to inspire a disparate group of athletes to the brink of their greatest goal.
Hats off to Ohio State, which has a remarkable quarterback of its own. Sophomore Cardale Jones began the year as the team's No. 3 player at his position, and started only three games all year—the last being the national championship. Still, Jones engineered a relentless Buckeye offense that eventually wore down the Ducks and keyed his team's victory.
The future looks bright for Ohio State, just as it does for Marcus Mariota, who announced Wednesday that he'll forgo his final year of college eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Mariota, who already earned his bachelor's degree in general science, is prepared to lead—on or off of the football field.
Let this soaring Duck serve as reminder to all of us that talent, drive and vision, combined with humility and respect, are the playbook for effective leadership.

Bombardier to Supply 14 High-Floor Light Rail Vehicles to Monterrey Mass Transport Authority in Mexico
Bombardier Transportation, along with its consortium partners Siemens and Grupo Garza Ponce, S.A. de C.V. (a local civil works firm), announced today that it had been awarded a contract from Monterrey's Mass Transport Authority (Metrorrey) to design and build 14 high-floor light rail vehicles (LRVs). The total contract is valued at approximately $244 million US, while Bombardier's share is valued at approximately $43 million US.
The manufacturing, testing and commissioning of the 14 high-floor LRVs will take place at Bombardier's facility in Sahagún, Mexico. Deliveries are scheduled to take place in the second half of 2007.
The new vehicles will be used to expand Line 2 of Monterrey's Mass Transport Authority. The opening of the new extension is scheduled for the second half of 2007, shortly before the celebration of the Second Universal Forum of Cultures in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
William Spurr, President, Bombardier Transportation North America, commented: "This contract further reinforces Bombardier's position as the main supplier of mass railway transport systems in Mexico. Moreover, these trains will contribute to improve transportation in this highly industrialized Mexican city."
Metrorrey, the second largest mass transit transportation system in Mexico, currently has 23 kilometers of rails and operates with 70 high-floor trains, transporting a total of 50 million passengers each year. Bombardier has supplied close to 70 percent of Metrorrey's total rolling stock currently in operation. This turnkey project will expand Line 2 towards the San Nicolas de los Garza and Escobedo counties, in the State of Nuevo León, on an 8.7 km alignment, of which 1.5 km will run underground.
Raymundo Flores Elizondo, Director General of Metrorrey, stated: "These additional trains, based on proven Bombardier technology, are a fundamental part of the plans to improve mass transportation in the Nuevo León State Capital, servicing demand in the fast developing county of Escobedo."
A world-leading manufacturer of innovative transportation solutions, from regional aircraft and business jets to rail transportation equipment, Bombardier Inc. is a global corporation headquartered in Canada. Its revenues for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2005 were $15.8 billion US and its shares are traded on the Toronto astock exchanges (BBD). News and information are available at www.bombardier.com.

Portable Solar Generator Tucson
Portable Solar Generator Tucson – The United States of America (the U.S.A. or the USA), commonly generally known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a rustic primarily positioned in North America. It consists of fifty states, a federal district, five main unincorporated territories, 326 Indian reservations, and some minor possessions. At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million sq. kilometers), it's the world's third- or fourth-largest nation by complete space. With a inhabitants of greater than 331 million individuals, it is the third most populous nation in the world. The national capital is Washington, D.C., and essentially the most populous metropolis is New York City.
Tucson is essentially the most populous city within the US state of Arizona. With an estimated 2019 population of 548,073 distributed over about 230.8 sq mi (597.8 km2), Tucson City is also essentially the most densely populated main metropolis in the United States. Located at 32.15°N 110.87°W, with population density almost 2,299/sq mi (888/km2) folks in its metropolitan statistical space and its change +5.38% statistical.
The US electrical energy system is usually described as the world's largest machine. It can also be incredibly various, reflecting the coverage preferences, wants, and obtainable natural sources of every state.
The U.S. electrical grid is so previous and outdated it can't handle the influx of wind power and other intermittent renewable sources. Integrating such sources requires adapting a system that's finely tuned to stability the quantity of electricity being used with the quantity of electrical energy being generated with fickle winds.
But there is an even more urgent problem, in keeping with this article within the New York Times: the grid is not large enough. The wind tends to blow strongest in locations, comparable to North and South Dakota, which might be far from the place folks stay and use electrical energy. And no one wants to spend the thousands and thousands of dollars it might take to place in a new transmission line (not to point out the legal headache of getting all those rights of method). Read more here.
It is among the most typical recurring natural disasters in the United States and worldwide. Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, power outages, fires, and many other pure disasters can occur, but hurricanes are among the most prolific pure disasters now we have to take care of. I personally have been through hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and power outages and know firsthand how essential it's to have a conveyable power generator for a home.
Emergencies caused by disasters corresponding to earthquakes, floods, or even terrorism can go away you in whole darkness and disconnected from the rest of the world. When the grid is gone, your communication tower is likely to observe suit in a wide-scale disaster. You can't name! You can't watch TV! You can't take heed to the radio! All you can do is really feel vulnerable and helpless. But wait a minute, what about if you had a conveyable solar-powered generator?
It is that one machine that may put you one step ahead of emergencies when there is a power scarcity. You can charge your telephone and receive news out of your radio or TV, power fridges and freezers, run fans and lights, and so forth.
During emergencies, Solar Generator may be the biggest lifesaver. It can assist you talk to make guarantee your family or associates are protected and safe. Back in 2017 Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico extraordinarily laborious. Over 3,000 people died and the power was out for 11 months. Almost an entire yr!
Solar backup makes use of solar power which is reliable,100% renewable, and completely free. In case of emergencies, you may power your devices or tools immediately and save yourself.
Diesel/gasoline generators don't retailer energy. They solely convert the diesel into an electrical present whenever you ignite it. To maintain the power supply on, it's essential to refuel your generator with diesel repeatedly. Once the source of diesel has depleted, you'll stay stuck.
Portable solar generators are pieces of kit that can generate electrical energy from the sunlight. They have change into increasingly widespread for quite a lot of causes. They can help you in a pure disaster, equivalent to a hurricane, flood, twister, or harsh storm. As nicely, they can aid in power outages and EMP attacks that may knock out the standard power grid.
Now that we all know slightly bit extra about what to search for in a solar generator, let's begin comparing among the many options accessible. There is a variety of generators obtainable from quite a lot of manufacturers, however some stand effectively above others in relation to their high quality and lifespan. Thankfully, we've gone over 5 of probably the most revered photovoltaic generators on the market to determine which one we predict is the absolute best.
The Titan is made by Point Zero and supported by Powered Portable Solar, which is an extremely respected firm in relation to preparedness and survival provides. They've made loads of solar generators prior to now, but the Titan blows all earlier models out of the water. The Titan makes use of all of Point Zero's knowledge of portable power in one spectacular package.

Titan Solar Generator 10 Monocrystalline Solar Panels
The Bluetti AC200P is one other photovoltaic generator, this time from Maxoak. While Maxoak may not carry the same status as Point Zero, they put together an admirable product with the Bluetti AC200P. For those who can't spring for the Titan, or who merely have more modest wants, the Bluetti should serve you significantly.

Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator Single Kit 2400Wh Generator
BLUETTI EP500 5100Wh
The Explorer 2000 comes from Jackery, and it is the most spectacular solar generator that the company has made up to now. Still, it is no match for the Titan and even the Bluetti. Despite this, it has a slight advantage in being light-weight and more cheap.
The Safari ME comes from Lion Energy, which is a fairly new company in relation to preparedness provides. If the Safari ME is one of the best they've to offer, then the company still has a ways to go before they're ranking alongside Titan. However, the Safari ME nonetheless has some methods up its sleeves.
Lion Energy LT 500 Solar Generator Kit Ultimate
Lion Safari ME 5000wH Solar Generator Kit Elite
Lion Safari ME Base Camp Kit 2,970wH Solar Generator
One of the wonderful things it's capable of doing is it may well run the 1,260wh battery at 1,800w output for the whole capability of the battery. Most batteries is not going to push out more power than their complete capacity. That implies that a 1,260wh battery typically won't push out more than 1,260w of steady power from the inverter. But the EcoFlow Delta 1300 can.

DCCC Slams GOP Candidate for Taking Tobacco Money, Only To Take Donation 4 Times Larger
Hypocrisy, thy name is the Democratic Party, specifically the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The DCCC recently called out a Republican congressional candidate in California for accepting a donation from a large tobacco company, only to be exposed as having accepted an even larger donation itself from that exact same tobacco industry giant.
The hypocrisy of the DCCC was first noted and revealed to the public by Politico, which linked to a now-deleted media release from the DCCC that excoriated GOP candidate Young Kim for accepting donations from the National Rifle Association, big pharmaceutical companies and Altria, the tobacco company in question.
However, Politico pointed out that the current chair of the DCCC, Democratic Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, had accepted donations from Altria from 2015 to 2017.
Jake Sherman
✔@JakeSherman
Also in Playbook PM ... the @dccc whacked @YoungKimCA for taking Altria money. But @RepCheri also has taken thousands from the tobacco giant.
The @dccc has removed the release from its website.
Easy stuff to check. Insane hypocrisy.
11:21 PM - Jul 18, 2019
95 people are talking about this
The Washington Free Beacon reported that upon closer inspection of Federal Election Commission records, it wasn't just Bustos who accepted donations from the tobacco company, but that the DCCC had also accepted a huge donation just a few months ago in April.
According to screenshots of the now-deleted DCCC news release obtained by the Free Beacon, the Democratic organization had lambasted Kim for accepting a donation in 2018 from a "disreputable" tobacco industry leader, Altria, and wrote that the tobacco industry was "at the forefront of stopping progress for Orange County families that would ensure their health, safety, and security."
The $3,500 donation Kim accepted in 2018 from the Altria Group, Inc. Political Action Committee, also known as AltriaPAC, was nearly five times smaller than the $15,000 donation from AltriaPAC that the DCCC accepted on April 24 of this year, according to FEC records.
The Free Beacon noted that the DCCC declined to respond to questions about the donation or why it had taken down the hypocritical media release so quickly.
As for Rep. Bustos, the current chair for the DCCC, those FEC records confirmed that she had accepted donations from AltriaPAC in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Not only that, but a Bustos-affiliated group known as Friends of Bustos also received a $2,500 donation from AltriaPAC on the same day as the $15,000 donation to the DCCC.
The hypocrisy doesn't end there, though, as further scrutiny of the FEC records showed that many other Democratic House members have also recently accepted donations from AltriaPAC.
The Free Beacon noted that Democratic recipients of AltriaPAC donations included "Rep. Donald McEachin (D., Va.) received $2,500, John Larson (D., Ct.) received $1,500, Friends of Jim Clyburn received $3,000, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.) received $1,500, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D., N.J.) received $500."
A moderate Democratic group known as the Blue Dog PAC received $5,000 from Altria in June, as did a PAC affiliated with Democratic Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, Friends of Bennie Thompson, which accepted $1,500 in May.
The AltriaPAC donated a similar range of funds to a number of Republican members of Congress and Republican-affiliated PACs, but the point is that Altria, as is standard practice with countless other large corporations, makes political donations to both sides of the ideological divide as a means to protect itself no matter which side holds power following an election.
The Democrats can't call out a Republican candidate for accepting donations from a tobacco company that numerous Democrats and Democratic Party organizations have also accepted donations from.
That is the most blatant example of hypocrisy, and it was so bad that liberal-leaning Politico had to call them out and compel the properly shamed DCCC to retract its hypocritical media release.

1. Box up these grilled chicken veggie bowls.
These chicken bowls come with cauliflower, brown rice, asparagus, haricots verts, and roasted corn. Super healthy, super tasty.
Here's your line-up of ingredients. We decided to add 5 different vegetables to mix it up a little. You could simplify it by using 3 different types. We used these tupperware containers and they worked great for our portions.
Grill up my Taco and Lime Chicken to get started. Here's an idea of what I use for an indoor grill pan.
You'll need 16 ounces of cooked quinoa and 16 ounces of cooked brown rice. Cook them both according to package directions. We cooked extra so we could freeze some and save for future meals.
Roast your veggies. Note that the cauliflower takes longer to cook, so I recommend putting the cauliflower on it's own baking sheet.
Here we have french haricot vert green beans, asparagus, and brussels sprouts. Asparagus only takes 7 minutes to roast so those come out early.
Here is the post-cooked line up. This is what makes up your "bowls." Again, you can ease up the process by choosing 3 or less different types of vegetables. We cooked 5 different types for diversity and added 1.5 cups worth to each meal.
Roasted cauliflower. This is my favorite. So flavorful!
My Grilled Taco Lime Chicken, cubed.
Roasted asparagus, ready to go.
A bit of charred corn.
To prepare your bowls, we used these tupperware containers for all 8 of our bowls. They are 3-cup To Go snack containers. Place 1/4 cup brown rice and 1/4 cup quinoa into each container. Top with a total of 1 1/2 cups of your cooked vegetables. Mix up the type of vegetables for each bowl so you have a variety each day. Add 4 ounces or 1/2 cup of your cubed chicken. We added salsa or hot sauce to season to our liking after we reheated the bowl in the microwave. A low fat dressing would work as well. Store these in the refrigerator and when you are ready microwave until heated through.
Note: To roast vegetables, place them onto a large baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook in oven at 375 degrees until fork tender. Time will vary depending on vegetable.
2. Try these five salads that'll stay fresh all week.
The shopping list calls for 11 items.
Both containers are fairly inexpensive — less than $1 for the plastic and around $2 for the mason jars — and they're dishwasher-safe and reusable, so you can feel good about putting less waste in the landfill.
1. Start with the greens. To save time, pick up a package of prewashed salad greens. If you're using greens from your garden or a farmers market, just make sure they're completely dry before packing. Fill the container about three-quarters full of greens (about two to three cups).
2. Add the veggies, beans, and fruit. Go for carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes (use cherry and keep them whole), peppers, broccoli, chickpeas, kidney beans, corn, peas, or even fruit like grapes or blueberries — whatever your little salad-loving heart desires. Drying off each ingredient with a paper towel will keep them crisper longer.
3. Add protein. For protein sources like marinated tofu, grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, certain types of cheese like cubed cheddar, and cooked (and cooled) whole grains like quinoa or brown rice, add these on top of the first three salads only (Monday's, Tuesday's, and Wednesday's). Then on Wednesday night, add protein to Thursday's and Friday's containers. Do the same with avocado, nuts and seeds, or very wet fruits like sliced strawberries.
4. Keep dressing separate until the moment you eat your salad. Purchase a couple dip-sized containers. Or if you have an office fridge, keep a bottle of dressing there.
3. Re-create the classic Starbucks Protein Bistro Box.
This one's been remixed to have even more protein.
Toss everything in your lunch box and go!
4. Make some tuna salad sandwiches, and stick 'em in the freezer.
Wrap each one in plastic wrap and stick them in the freezer until the night before you're gonna eat them.
In a large bowl combine tuna, yogurt, lemon juice, carrots, dill, parsley, salt, dijon mustard, red onion, garlic powder and honey. Divide tuna mixture over the bottom portion of indicated number of sandwich thins. Top each with one slice of provolone cheese, followed by top bun.

new brand identity revealed
The University of St Mark & St John (Marjon) introduced its new corporate brand identity today. The significant rebranding project follows the recent award of full university title to the former university college and represents a major milestone in the institution's near 175-year history.
The new brand, unveiled to around 400 university staff and members of the Board of Governors, reflects the combination of the University's unique heritage and its strategic direction in pursuit of excellence in its four specialisms of: Education; Journalism and Creative Arts; Language and Linguistics; and Sport. The university's specialisms build on its established record of academic excellence and respond to the employability agenda.
Professor Cara Aitchison, who took up post as the University's first Vice-Chancellor on 1 May said, "The recent award of university title recognises our heritage, our continuing reputation for delivering an outstanding student experience and our relevance to 21st century employability in professions that make key contributions to the economy and society. "University designation also emphasises the increasing diversity of UK universities and recognition that smaller universities like St Mark & St John will play a greater role in delivering high quality specialist education that responds both to student demand and employers' needs. "The new University identity will enable us to be more easily recognised across higher education where the identity of the university college was a little ambiguous. The University of St Mark & St John has very significant strengths that attracted me to move from the University of Edinburgh. The new brand identity and accompanying activities to launch the University will help us communicate these strengths more effectively to our stakeholders."
Head of Marketing & Communications, Kerryanne Delbridge said, "After working on a number of possible concepts, we formulated a three-quarter shield design for our logo, which provides a modern twist to the original crest. For the typeface of the University we chose a traditional serif font to reflect our legacy and to align with our original crest which remains the anchor of our brand and which will continue to be used in full for ceremonial occasions.
"The four 'dark red' coloured diamond-shaped representations in the new logo form the central tenets of the brand identity. The diamonds, which are taken from the crest, represent new life and culture. The diamonds are separated by a modern representation of the crossed swords taken from the crest and which also aligns with the cross separating the four castles on Plymouth City's coat of arms.
"In addition to the main identity, we have included four sub-identities, to clearly position the University as a 'first choice provider' for the four specialist areas we excel in."
Newly appointed Alumni Development and Events Officer, Alison Wall said, "The University of St Mark & St John is set to unveil the new brand with a formal celebratory launch, and a joint celebration marking '40 years in Plymouth' on Tuesday 1 October 2013. This is timed for the arrival of new students and the first cohort who will graduate having undertaken their degree at the University of St Mark & St John".

Post subject: H17 front crossbar needed/interchange with other models?
I've just picked up a H17 and it's in need of a lot of TLC! For starters the front crossbar has a huge dent in it, does anyone have an extra one for sale close to Florida or can crossbars from other models be used? I read a posting that the crossbar from a H16 can be modified to fit, any truth to that? I'm also looking for a set of sails, everything else is hull damage that needs to be fixed or swapped out for better hulls. The comp tip also has a crack that the PO fiberglassed over so I'll be looking for that and a mast base as well. I really hate to junk this one because I feel that even thou it's on the boarder of whether or not it should be trashed...I think I can save her.
Post subject: Re: H17 front crossbar needed/interchange with other models?
The crossbars on the H17 are specific to that boat. A Hobie 16 crossbar will not fit.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm having a hard time tracking down a used one...might have to take the hit and order a new one.
New ones don't exist, unless it's a dealer's new/old stock. Hobie hasn't made new crossbars in a long while.
I have one, but it's got a minor crack aft of the mast post, and it's missing the dolphin striker. You can have it for the cost of delivery.
I have one, but it's got a minor crack aft of the mast post, and it's missing the dolphin striker.
If the original crossbar is toast, you can cut an 8" long or so reinforcing "plate" out of it to span the dolphin striker post hole on the cracked replacement crossbar. The plate can be riveted either internally or externally to the crossbar. I've done this to repair cracked H17 and H18 crossbars. You can also drill a small hole in the end of the crack to prevent it from growing.
I am wondering why a Hobie 16 crossbar will not fit.
It's not the same extrusion (different cross section), bent to a different radius (16 has much more curvature) and almost certainly a different length.
The extrusion section is the crucial part - the ends of the crossbar must fit precisely on to the "shoes" that are attached to the hulls at the outboard ends, and the crossbar must fit precisely into the saddle molded into the top of the hull. Otherwise, there will be stress concentrations that will quickly crack the extrusion, or worse - cause damage to the hull.
If you are still looking, i have a h17 front crossbar with jib tracks, cars and dolphin striker.

Come to Parliament
Chalk welcomes Eagle Tower U-turn
Cheltenham's new MP has welcomed a decision by the prospective owners of Eagle Tower to withdraw their controversial application to convert the building into flats.
Earlier this month, the developers, who were believed to be in the process of purchasing the iconic Cheltenham office block, submitted an application to turn the building into 96 flats. The proposal ran into opposition from local MP Alex Chalk and local residents, who expressed concern about the potential loss of high quality office space, as well as the impact on traffic in an already congested part of the town.
But now the threat to the Eagle Tower appears to have evaporated, with the prospective owner's planning consultants sending an email to Cheltenham Borough Council's planning team informing them of their intention to withdraw the proposal.
Commenting on the news, Mr Chalk said ''I'm delighted to hear of this change of heart, and congratulate the applicant for seeing the bigger picture. Cheltenham does not have anything like enough high quality office space, and losing these offices in the Eagle Tower would have been a hammer blow to the town. Now we need to redouble our efforts to create a strong economic plan for Cheltenham's future, to attract new businesses and make our town more vibrant still.''

Comanche Territory (1950)
George Sherman
Maureen O'Hara, Macdonald Carey, Will Geer, Charles Drake, Pedro de Cordoba, Ian MacDonald, Rick Vallin, Parley Baer, James Best, Edmund Cobb, Glenn Strange
The Feisty Western Gal
When silver is discovered on the land belonging to the Comanche, the U.S. government broker a deal to mine the land. But the locals living near to the land are yet to be made aware of any such agreement and their greed is threatening to cause unrest in the area especially when the new treaty doesn't reach the Comanches. The legendary James Bowie (Macdonald Carey) arrives in the area and following meeting politician Dan'l Seeger (Will Geer) who had been ambushed quickly realises that controlling the situation is not going to be simple as Katie Howard (Maureen O'Hara), a local business woman, appears to be involved in the trouble.
I don't know anyone who writes movie reviews who doesn't have a favourite actor or actress and it is always hard to not to be more generous with their movies than others. For me I have a weakness for Maureen O'Hara movies and as "Comanche Territory" sees her playing a feisty western gal it would be easy to get a little carried away in praising this western from 1950. But the thing is that whilst "Comanche Territory" is entertaining, especially for O'Hara's performance, it is also pretty routine with a storyline which sees an official trying to uncover who is behind the breaking of a peace treaty with the nearby Comanche as well as some romance.
As such what you get in "Comanche Territory" is Jim Bowie entering town and sniffing around whilst finding himself dealing with various locals; be it the feisty Katie or old timer Dan'l Seeger. You have the semi mystery as to who is really behind the trouble as Dan'l smelt fancy perfume when he was ambushed just prior to delivering the amendment to the treaty with the Comanche. And I could go on because I don't think there is a single part to "Comanche Territory" which I haven't encountered in other westerns.
But "Comanche Territory" is colourful and it is Maureen O'Hara delivering a feisty character which provides plenty of entertainment giving us that humour of a tough western gal who is tomboy-ish but finds herself ditching the buck skin and dressing up like a lady due to a spark of something with Bowie. Also providing some fun is Will Geer who just had a way of saying things which made them amusing. Unfortunately Macdonald Carey ends up far too bland as Bowie and lacks that real element of action man to make him an entertaining lead.
What this all boils down to is that "Comanche Territory" is certainly an entertaining movie for fans of old westerns and also Maureen O'Hara. But it is also a routine which one which could have done with a stronger actor in the lead as sadly Macdonald Carey is a little too bland in this.

Digging in the Mags: Hi-fidelity Illustrations from the 1970s
E. Little
Archival /
Art & Design /
Diggin in the Mags /
hi-fi /
Capturing the 70's hi-fidelity craze in illustrations.
If you were lucky enough to be a music freak who could also illustrate, in the 1960s and '70s you could actually earn a living from working the hi-fi magazine circuit. After all, there are only so many ways to photograph a Marantz, McIntosh or JBL component, and with advertising money pouring in art budgets were fat.
Because of the nature of advertising and magazine work, the names of many of these for-hire illustrators have been lost to time, but their loving, occasionally cheeky depictions of gear and the listeners getting lost within it endure.
Below, a few illustration highlights from Stereophile, High Fidelity and other glossy magazines of the era.
Taken from a 1977 advertisement for Pickering cartridges and styli, this illustration identifies "Stylus Carnivorous," a pest that "may look cute but he's a nasty little creature. He shows up when the stylus in your phonograph begins to wear."
The early 1970s saw the arrival of the first successful mass-market format since the LP: the cassette. Before its adaptation by component makers, cruising music was dictated by radio DJs. Cassettes changed the game, and the result was a huge push in the marketplace.
One of the major innovations of the golden hi-fi era was in stereo separation and amplification. Hellbent on exploring the capacities and engineering potential of room-filling sound, writers reported on innovations — and illustrators tried to capture ways of manifesting those ideas.
Mixing photos and illustrations, Harman Kardon's 1977 ad for its straight line tracking turntable the ST7 explains through similar images why the technology was deemed superior when it was introduced. The market spoke, however: few manufacturers make linear tracking turntables anymore.
If you look closely at the cover to this primer on hi-fi, you can see the canvas upon which the anonymous illustrator painted the original. With bold colors and a simple, brilliantly conveyed idea, the image pops off the page.
By the mid '70s, Marantz was so successful that they could apparently commission artists to drop a lot of acid, put on some tunes and start painting. This 1975 ad compares its competitors' flat sound to Marantz's more hallucinogenic energy.
Who is this man, and why does he look like he's getting ready to go bartend at a saloon? Why isn't he sitting in front of the speakers? Whoever he is — and where are the speaker wires? — the ad campaign didn't hurt. Frazier Inc. is still in business making boutique speakers, part of Mitchell Acoustic Research.
