All OCF services have been powered down in preparation.

 We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update (9:02 PM): services have been restored.Kevin Penghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-27898706775892645622017-07-08T02:47:00.000-07:002017-07-08T02:49:38.689-07:00Downtime for security updates evening of 7/8There will be a brief period of downtime tonight (July 8th, 2017), around 9 PM, likely lasting about 15-30 minutes.

Today, we are announcing the same feature for our web application hosting service.

This enhancement has already been rolled out for existing web apps, and it will come out-of-the-box for new ones. For more info, check out the original announcement as well as the updated FAQ below.

What do I need to do?
Most likely, nothing. Thanks to greatly increased Let's Encrypt request rate limits, we can download certificates and configure your website to use SSL almost immediately.

Will this break existing links to my website? Do I need to update posters with the new link?
No. We will issue 301 redirects to the updated URL.

Are you sending the HSTS header?
Still not yet, but it's certainly on the agenda now that we've been using HTTPS on regular virtual hosts for almost a year. We already send the HSTS header for www.ocf.berkeley.edu, including all websites for individual accounts.

What even is app hosting? How do I get it?
Web application hosting is a relatively new service we offer which allows groups to develop sophisticated websites using modern web technologies not available with regular virtual hosting. The eligibility requirements are the same as for regular virtual hosting, and you can apply be emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Please read the help page for more information.

If you have any more questions, please email us.

Finally, you can log into your website at ease!Matthew McAllisterhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-48998051706441182622017-04-20T14:06:00.004-07:002017-04-20T14:06:41.889-07:00Downtime this morning - Thursday 4/20 6:53 to 11:15 AMFrom around 6:53 to 11:15 this morning a majority of the OCF's services were down, including websites, email forwarding, software mirrors, etc. We take downtime issues like this very seriously, so we are still in the process of doing a full postmortem on exactly what happened and the timeline it followed. Expect that to be posted soon as we finalize the details of what happened, but everything should now be back up and working again. If you notice any problems, please contact us and we'd be happy to help.

Update 10:18: Our mirroring server is down, and the disks are being migrated.

Update 10:34: Our mirroring server is back up with its disks full migrated!

To do this, we'll import LDAP and Kerberos data from our on-site backups to test that they still work. Although they have been tested before, it's always nice to make sure that backups actually work and include the right data. After importing these backups, a final dump and sync will be made in case any data has changed in the small amount of time that it takes to import the backup data.

All users will be unable to log in while the migration is taking place, but this should only be a very short time, as the majority of the migration will be done before the final sync is done.

Contact us if you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade!

Update 7:40: All users should be able to log in again, please let us know if you have any issues with accessing your account!Jason Perrinhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-71987991685586901572017-02-18T11:37:00.001-08:002017-02-18T19:00:10.784-08:00MySQL read-only Saturday 2/18As part of our work to transition from jessie to stretch for our MySQL server, we'll be migrating user data today around 5pm.

To do this, we'll put the existing jessie server into read-only mode, then make a final import to the new stretch host. We believe this will take about an hour and don't anticipate any issues (we've already tested imports from our regular backups without problems).

Read-only mode is necessary during the import to ensure we get a consistent backup, and so that writes made during the transition are not lost.

Some sites may experience downtime while the server is in read-only mode (if they require writing to the database to show pages). Most sites will experience some level of degradation (e.g. can't log in to admin or edit posts).

Update 5:01pm: We have entered read-only mode.
Update 5:58pm: The backup has completed, we are now importing it into the new database server. Probably another 45 minutes or so.
Update 6:07pm: ETA 25 minutes.
Update 6:15pm: ETA 16 minutes
Update 6:25pm: Unfortunately we hit a snag during the import and have to start it over.
Update 6:29pm: ETA 37 minutes.
Update 6:40pm: ETA 21 minutes.
Update 6:46pm: ETA 10 minutes.
Update 6:56pm: Import has finished, we're now switching back into rw mode. This will involve a few seconds of downtime.
Update 6:59pm: MySQL is now available as usual. Total time in read-only mode was about two hours. Total downtime was less than a minute.Chris Kuehlhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-25568449845464100792016-12-02T19:30:00.001-08:002016-12-02T19:30:22.641-08:00Daily print quota change 12/5-12/16For all you who need to print out final papers, the OCF daily printing quota will be increased to 20 pages/day for RRR week and finals week this semester.

The OCF has provided mail virtual hosting for many years, allowing student groups to create email addresses such as "{email@example.com" which forward to their primary email address.

With the new system, we're introducing a few new features:

Easily edit addresses only. Previously, editing addresses meant modifying hidden .forward files over SSH. These files are no more!

Instead, log in to our website and add, edit, and remove addresses from your web browser.

Send or reply to mail. The old system only allowed you to receive mail. We now allow replying to that mail from your student group address (or composing new mail from it).

You can find out more about using the new system on our website.

What if my student group already had mail virtual hosting?

We've automatically migrated all of your existing forwarding addresses to the new system; there's nothing you need to do. In the future, you'll use the new web-based interface for modifying addresses instead of the .forward files.

Can I forward to multiple addresses?

Yup, each address can forward to as many other addresses as you'd like!

Can I have a catch-all address at my domain?

Yes, and the web interface will help you set this up.

How do I get mail virtual hosting for my group?

If you already have virtual hosting, then we can easily add mail service. If not, we can help you set up both a website and mail hosting.

For details on our web virtual hosting service, see here.

Thanks to all who applied!

The OCF is looking for someone to fulfill the role of OCF Operations Strategist, a new, hired position developed by OCF staff and the first known paid position in OCF history. The Operations Strategist will work closely with the OCF throughout the Fall 2016/Spring 2017 academic year to help guide the OCF as it undergoes the major transition of becoming a fully self-sustained organization starting next year.

For the last several years, the OCF has relied on the support of paid Publications and Media Center staff to open and close on time, provide security, and carry out day-to-day operational tasks when volunteer staff cannot attend the lab. This arrangement is coming to a close next year, however, and thus the OCF is currently fully committed to acquire funding and develop the strategies we need for the front desk to become 100% staffed by OCF hires when the time comes. This new position provided by the PMC will ensure a smooth transition.

The Operations Strategist will play a crucial part during the entire process, and so will need to be committed to the position for the entire academic year. Moreover, the Operations Strategist is not just a front desk job. While performing desk tasks will be a minor part of the Operations Strategist's role, the great majority of the 12-15 hour work week will be dedicated to projects vital to the OCF's transition. We are seeking someone with creative problem-solving skills who can work autonomously on solutions to problems we will face in hiring and managing our own team to staff the lab.

The link to the application is here: http://bit.ly/2deW0ry. Unfortunately, we are only considering applicants who have work-study funds to last the entire academic year.

Interviews are next week.Matthew McAllisterhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-79841202408621466612016-09-16T14:14:00.000-07:002016-09-21T15:54:11.460-07:00Ongoing lab closures due to understaffingThe OCF has already had to announce one reduction in our hours of operation this semester, and we're sorry to say that further closures on top of that will be the norm for the next several weeks. Anyone who has visited the lab or our website in the last two weeks has noticed that we are missing a couple hours on Thursday and Friday from what was previously announced, and that, for the first time in recent memory, we are closed all day every Saturday.

While we would like to say there was something we can do about this, it is unfortunately out of our control: the Publications and Media Center is responsible for providing the paid employees who man the front desk during all hours the lab is open. Unfortunately, the PMC has been operating with a reduced staff this semester and is still seeking to hire replacements. We must conclude that these additional closures will continue for a few more weeks at least.

The OCF is not happy about the state of things, but the hiring process takes time, and there is not any way for us to speed things up. In the meantime, please keep an eye on our hours page; as much as possible, if we can predict when we will be closed, we will update the hours on our website. Please also check our homepage, as we will make an announcement there as soon as possible in the event of an unexpected closure during the day.Matthew McAllisterhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-70979063437501037842016-09-16T12:20:00.002-07:002016-09-16T12:20:29.608-07:00Weak user passwords have been reset recentlyWe're always looking for ways to make sure our users' accounts remain secure. It's important to have strong passwords because OCF accounts aren't just used for lab access or printing, but also for web hosting and many other services. These services are accessible via the internet, which means anybody (including those with no relation to UC Berkeley) could try to guess the passwords.

Recently, we attempted to guess the passwords of our users in an attempt to find users with exceptionally weak passwords and have them upgrade to a stronger password. To do this, we used both lists of passwords from online password dumps (including passwords used by real people on other services), lists of the most common passwords, and other methods such as trying different variations of each character of a password.

This is the same thing an attacker would do to try to break into a user's account. It's important to keep in mind that we cannot read users' passwords. We store them in a non-reversible manner as password hashes. Passwords are hashed using a one-way function that can be computed at login and compared to the stored hash. At no time are OCF staff able to find out the passwords of our users, except in the way above (by trying hundreds of thousands of passwords until one matches).

The guessing method only works on the weakest of passwords; it also explains why the best way to make a password strong is to make it long, rather than trying to make it more complicated by adding numbers or special characters.

We have removed the passwords from the accounts we were able to guess passwords for. These users should either reset their password online (if they have a CalNet account linked to their OCF account, as most current and recent students do), or use the manual verification process otherwise.Chris Kuehlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-92093647270389722032016-08-26T16:43:00.001-07:002016-08-26T16:43:17.460-07:00Downtime tonight (8/26) for kernel updatesThere will be a brief period of downtime tonight (8/26), around 9 pm, likely lasting about 20-45 minutes, as we apply kernel updates to our servers and run some hardware checks. Our software mirrors may be down for more time, as that server has a potential hardware issue and could require longer to check.

Sorry for the inconvenience and contact us if you have any questions about our services or the upcoming downtime!Jason Perrinhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-7474779566562995942016-08-23T22:59:00.002-07:002016-08-23T22:59:55.059-07:00Changes to our lab hoursOur hours of operation this semester have undergone some changes from last year's. Without any ado, our tentative weekly hours for Fall 2016 are

Monday: 9am-6pm
Tuesday: 9am-8pm
Wednesday: 9am-8pm
Thursday: 9am-8pm
Friday: 9am-5pm
Saturday: 12pm-5pm
Sunday: 12pm-5pm

These hours are still subject to change. Specifically, once our Board of Directors meeting time is finalized, Monday's hours may be extended to 8pm and we will then close at 6pm on a different weekday. Remember, you can always see an up-to-date listing of our regular hours and our hours for the next seven days at https://ocf.io/lab.

The most noticeable difference between last year's hours and this semester's is that we have had to scale back our weekend hours, Friday through Sunday. The OCF does not take lightly that this change is a setback for the accessibility of our lab to our members, but this is the most agreeable outcome we can offer. When scaling back our hours, we were very careful to select the times which would ultimately affect the least number of users of the lab.

Nonetheless, we are proud to be reopening at 9am Wednesday morning for another collaborative and productive fall semester. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our new hours, please drop by one of our upcoming BoD meetings and let your voice be known.

Thanks for flying OCF!Matthew McAllisterhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-50419174368927849132016-07-17T22:30:00.003-07:002016-10-09T11:57:46.329-07:00Introducing HTTPS for virtual hostsThe staff of the OCF strongly believe in the need for encryption of everyday communication. This case has been made not just by invasive government spying, but also by wireless carriers (like Verizon) maliciously modifying requests to increase ad revenue.We think that the internet needs to transition to encrypting all communications whenever possible.

Two years ago, we transitioned all of www.ocf.berkeley.edu (all regular user websites) to HTTPS-only. At the time, it was impractical to also transition virtual hosts, because there was no way for us to acquire the necessary SSL certificates without a lot of manual effort.

With the creation of Let's Encrypt, a free provider of SSL certificates that prioritizes automation, we're finally able to start offering HTTPS for virtually-host websites as well. Starting today, we'll be slowly rolling out HTTPS for our virtual hosts. We expect the full roll-out to complete within about 3 months.

What do I need to do?
Most likely, nothing. We'll automatically switch your site over to HTTPS when we acquire a certificate for it. (We're unable to immediately acquire certificates for all of our ~500 virtual hosts due to Let's Encrypt's rate limits.)

Will this break existing links to my website? Do I need to update posters with the new link?
No. We will issue 301 redirects to the updated URL.

Are you sending the HSTS header?
Not yet, but we'd like to in the future. We want to make sure we've tested the current setup for some time first, as once we start sending the header, we can never go back to plain HTTP.

We do send the HSTS header for www.ocf.berkeley.edu (user websites).

My site broke after the switch to HTTPS, what do I do?
It's unlikely, but possible, that some sites will break because of this. Typically, this is because of the wrong site URL set within a CMS like WordPress. You should be able to fix this by logging in to the admin panel and making sure your site URL has https:// at the front.

If there's anything we can do to help, don't hesitate to send us an email.

Update 2016-10-09: The roll-out is complete.Chris Kuehlhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-70513395422620977962016-05-26T13:03:00.004-07:002016-05-26T13:03:58.066-07:00Power outage, services downAt 9:35am, a power outage in MLK caused our servers to go down.

To do this, we'll need to make home directories read-only for a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, then once again late Sunday evening.

We anticipate the read-only mode to last only about 15 minutes, but there may be an additional 5-10 minutes of full downtime while we transition into it.

Most websites should continue to work during read-only mode.

The online edition of the article contained (and still does) a photo of the OCF lab taken yesterday. The print version is even more misleading:

The OCF was not involved in this attack in any way. Our printers are not exposed directly to the internet, and our volunteer staff take security very seriously. We were quite shocked to see ourselves on the Daily Cal article.

It's really unfortunate that a lot of people will see this image and think that the OCF was compromised. Our volunteer staff have put a lot of work into the OCF, and we don't like to see it tarnished this way.

We appreciate that the article itself did not reference the OCF. And we'd greatly appreciate help from the Daily Cal in replacing the misleading photo and issuing a clarification.

Update March 30: The Daily Cal has updated the caption of the photo, but refuses to correct their mistake by replacing the photo, citing "a pretty strict policy on retraction".

While we're glad they've recognized the mistake and added the clarifying caption, we still believe they should act with integrity to correct this mistake. It is not responsible journalism to place the photo of a widely recognized but completely unrelated organization above an article about poor security practices.

Many people don't read Daily Cal articles in full, but instead see snippets posted on Facebook or elsewhere. In these snippets, a picture of the OCF is still prominently featured, and the work of our volunteer staff is still being devalued.

This could have been prevented if the staff of the Daily Cal had taken a few minutes to shoot us a quick email prior to publishing that article. A lot of damage has already been done. The Daily Cal should take responsibility for their error and correct it.

Update April 1: The Daily Cal has now replaced the photo with one of a printer which was actually affected by the attack. We thank them for correcting the mistake.

"Does anybody really care?"
Who sang that song? I just can't remember but it has been stuck in my head all day! Where is Shelia from Note Songs when I need her? *grin*
Well, I do believe it is tea time!!
I set up this vignette on the kitchen table after finding the sweet little green wire teapot while out thrifting a few days ago. Now I know I'm not really set up for tea, but it kinda looks like a tea party, doesn't it?
I started out with a white doilie on a simple wooden tray.
I filled the teapot with reindeer moss and topped it with a votive candle cup. It's so open and airy and the moss smells so sweet and fresh.
An old clock face, with two small keys as clock hands, was inserted into a flower frog as a reminder that 2:00 is, indeed, teatime!
I found these unusual gold-tone teaspoons in a thrift shop many moons ago. They were hidden away in one of the kitchen hutch drawers. I keep forgetting where I place things! Do you do this, too?
To add some visual interest, I used a vintage Eiffel Tower post card and the card sent to me by Cathy at Sweet Up North Mornings when I won her paper towel holder give-away.
What a precious floral pattern on this cup and saucer…
An old and tarnished silver-plate sugar bowl and creamer complete the mismatched tea service.
The candlesticks are chippy iron birds .
I always try to save the roses that Mr. S gives me. Although they started out as a dozen, these faded yellow stems have dwindled down to only seven, due to breakage.
I am amazed that I have kept this plant alive since December! Don't you just love the variegation in the leaves?
I could set out another cup if you'd care to join me……

This is my first time participating in Marty's Table Top Tuesday. She and her participants always have the prettiest and most innovative vignettes to show.
Please click on button for link.
And since I have a semblance of a tea party going, I'm linking up to Lady Katherine's Tea Time Tuesday.
This is a fun new party where you can showcase your table centerpieces. Won't you please stop by to visit The Style Sisters?

Posts Tagged 'Improv'
Welcome to Magnet's "Getting To Know" series! We're using our blog to highlight our fabulous performers and writers and we can't wait for you to meet them. Want to see them all? Click here.
Who the heck are ya?
How long have you all been performing together?
The Cast started as a Director Series in May of 2015, and was added as an official weekend show in the fall of that same year.
Who would be your ideal guest to perform with?
The list is long! To name a few: Tami Sagher, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, Lauren Lapkus, Carol Burnett, Kate Winslet, Lucille Balls ghost, and of course Benedict Cumberbatch.
What was your second choice for a name of the show?
I had to search my email for it, but I think the working title was "Onstage/Backstage." I also found a brainstorming email chain with Chrissie Gruebel in which we alternatively threw out these** additional gems: Behind the Scenes, Cause a Scene, Make a Scene, Line!, On in Five, Off and On, Between Scenes, Players, The Show Must Go On, Curtain Up, Everyones Period Just Started, The Spotlight, 15 Minutes, The Original Queens of Drama, The Thing, and Staged. **All but one of these is real.
Whats the best part about performing at Magnet Theater?
The Magnet is home to so many incredible, creative, interesting and supportive artists. We truly feel that this is a community in which we can take risks and be supported not only for the final product but for the risk-taking itself. That's been essential for this show to thrive.
If there was a biopic about your team, what would it be titled?
We Like Each Other…Too Much
Describe the soundtrack to said biopic!
We're pretty into Kesha's "Woman" these days. Also, does she not spell it K$sha anymore? Why not? Also, we know this isnt a soundtrack, its just a song. But its our biopic so we can do what we want. Get off our back.
What makes your group laugh the most?
If you could have a mascot for your shows, who or what would it be?
A girl's aged 9-12 soccer team just after they've had their oranges and have all that natural sugar racing through their veins.
When can we see you perform?
Every Saturday night at 10:30pm at the Magnet! And occasionally at improv festivals around the country and in Canada! It's not that we're opposed to going outside of North America, we just haven't been invited anywhere else yet, hint hint hint.
Anything else you all want to add?
We do occasional bake sales to raise money for causes we care about. We also do a [somewhat] monthly jam for any and all female-identifying improvisers; they're super fun, and we'd love to see you there! Also, coming to The Cast isnt just about laughing (which youll do! we promise!) its also about being part of a brand new never-to-be-seen-again full theatrical production, put on by people who like each other too much and are all on their periods at the same time. Beat that.
Matt Koff is a comedian, recovering improviser, and Emmy-award winning writer for his work on The Daily Show. As one of the first Magnet students, Matt brings his comedy back to the theater for a stand-up comedy series. "Matt Koff & Friend" features a half hour of comedy from Koff himself, as well as another half hour from a comedian of his choice.
How long have you been performing stand-up comedy?
For about 7 years now. I had been doing sketch and improv for about 5 years prior to that. I'm old. Older than the Tennessee Valley herself, some might say.
How would you compare the NYC stand-up scene from when you first started to now?
Can you tell us about a time that you bombed on stage?
When did you start taking classes at Magnet Theater? Did you learn anything from the classes that you still use in your work today?
What does stand-up comedy bring to you that improv does not?
Who would be your ideal guest to perform the 2nd half hour on Matt Koff & Friend?
Adam Wade. And I was lucky enough to get him!
How do you like performing stand-up in an improv theater setting?
I like it a lot. The audiences are really smart, and there are very few drunk bachelorette parties in the audience who interrupt my set and laugh at the wrong parts of the joke. Quiet, ladies! "So I just had arm surgery" is not a punchline!
Come see Matt Koff & Friend Monday September 18th at 9pm with special guest Adam Wade!
Musical Megawatt performer Chris Bell bares all about his his upcoming show Comic Strips. With the help of his friends, Chris combines the styles of burlesque and game shows into a night of fun and laughter. This comedy boylesque show will make its Magnet Theater premiere Friday, September 15th, at 11:15pm.
What is Comic Strips and when did it become a show at the Magnet Theater?
Comic Strips is a comedy boylesque & game show. Itll be a night of odd character stripteases and bawdy games hosted by the fabulous Madame Jiji. The night will really be an experiment of an idea I had years ago (more on this to come later) and is the shows birthday so if you want to see how babies are made, come to the show!
Disclaimer: Actual babies will not be made at this show.
What kind of games will you be playing during Comic Strips?
There will be games of mystery and intrigue, exocitc games from the ancient tribes of South East Africa, but most importantly, there will be games that arent any of those just mentioned. The games well play will be dumb, fun, and sexualy suggestive cause, hey, this is partly a burlesque show after all!
What inspired you to combine boylesque with comedy?
The idea came to me maybe 10 years ago when a good friend called me up and asked if I knew someone who would strip for her best friends birthday party…but dressed as a Hasidic Jew. I thought this was hilarious so naturally I had to do it. We all ended up having a blast and I wondered how it was possible that there wasnt a NYC company out there offering this service. Funny character stripteases that is. Fast forward 10 years later; Ive quit my job and Im putting together a prototype of that company to see if the idea has legs. Comic Strips (this Friday night @ 11:15pm, be there) is the beginning of my frankenstein monster. Will it break loose and wreak havoc on the streets of New York? I hope so!
But you know, like a positive havoc.
Who would be your ideal guest for Comic Strips?
Darth Vader hands down, because wouldnt it be fun to take a ride on the Dark side?
What does it mean for you to have a Friday night spot at the Magnet Theater?
It means a lot of work! #JesusBeAXanax
No, Im very excited to be able to do this show at the Magnet. Its a great community to be a part of and what better place to do an experimental show than at my favorite comedy safe space and no, I am not getting paid to say that.
(ll-Iay ick-pay p-uay he-tay eck-chay omorrow-tay.)
Besides boylesque and improv, have you performed in other types of shows?
My educational background is theater so in college I performed in several types of shows from dance shows to musicals to plays. Ive done a few summer stock seasons of musicals as well as a year of childrens theater in Lexington Kentucky before I moved to NYC. Ive been in New York for 10 years now and have produced, directed, and acted in various projects both for the stage and screen. A couple of random voiceover gigs too which were a blast including a recent video game you can find on Steam called The Low Road.
And now for the biggest confession of all, Ive never actually performed burlesque so (prepare yourself for another shameless plug) come this Friday at 11:15 pm to see if I succeed or fail. Either way, it should be entertaining!
What do you want audience members to take away from the show – that they wouldnt normally from a traditional improv/ sketch show?
I guess Comic Strips is celebration of the human body and sexuality. But most importantly, I want it to be a shit ton of fun. Not too different from any other comedy show right?
Comic Strips debuts at the Magnet Theater on Friday September 15 at 11:15pm. Don't miss it!

Welcome to Magnet's "Getting To Know" series! We're using our blog to highlight our fabulous performers and writers and we can't wait for you to meet them. Want to see them all? Click here.
Whats your name?
Kourtni Beebe
Which team or show are you on?
I'm on the sketch team Chillionaire!
Where are you from?
Norman, Oklahoma
How did you get into improv/sketch comedy?
My best friend suggested that I take an improv class for fun. After doing that for a while, I was curious about sketch writing. There was no turning back after I took my first sketch class.
How long have you been performing/writing?
I've been performing for 24 years. I've been doing comedy for 4 years.
Who in all the world would be your ideal scene or writing partner?
I'd love to write and act with Amy Schumer. I have a comedy fantasy of us doing a film where we play sisters and Ali Wentworth plays our mom. Make fun of me all you want!!!!! It'd also be fun to write with Melissa McCarthy and Amy Poehler. Lucille Ball was one of my idols growing up and I wish I could've gotten the chance to share the screen with her.
Who would you most like to impersonate or write for?
I've impersonated Kellyanne Conway a few times and would love to dive into that more. With that being said, I have a comedy crush on Kate McKinnon and would love to write for her. I would also like to write for Jillian Bell, Ali Wentworth, and Jennifer Coolidge.
What makes you laugh the hardest?
When callbacks happen in regular conversations. It's even funnier to me when someone does it who isn't a comedian.
Describe the soundtrack to your life!
Honestly, you can turn on the Legally Blonde The Musical soundtrack at anytime and I will never not jam out to it.
What's something you'd ask when meeting someone for the first time?
"Do you like dogs?" If the answer is anything negative, you can't sit with us.
Where can we find you on a Saturday night?
A fun bar with my friends, usually chatting about what projects we want to work on together. If you're good people and want to join us sometime, reach out to me!
What is the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it?
I have an insane scar on both of my hands from a Nutribullet (type of blender) breaking while I was using it and my hands fell into the running blades. There's a lawsuit happening. And I'm writing a show about it called "Nutribullshit."
This month's Director Series, "The Setup," comes to us from the brilliant mind of Eleanor Lewis. Eleanor is most often seen on stage with Megawatt team Sexy Baby, but for the month of September, she's sitting in the director's chair, working with a special cast on a show of her own creation. We've interviewed her to find out more about the show and where her compass is pointing!
Tell us about the concept of The Setup. How did you come up with this idea?
First of all, thanks for having me. This studio is very comfortable and expensive-looking!
The Setup is an improvised one-act play where the audience designs the set – so, basically a monoscene with a theatrical style. A few months ago I was thinking a lot about my favorite improv shows and realized that the ones that stuck with me were always the ones that were either so funny they were unforgettable, or ones where the actors took their scenes seriously and took the time to explore the subtleties of their characters and relationships. The ones I still think about all the time have both – it's something that a lot of really good duos have because they're so patient and trusting with each other. They can be so silly and dumb, and then in the next breath extremely human and touching.I started thinking of ways to set up a show that encouraged this kind of improv, and the idea of giving the actors a designed set, just like in a real play, was the one that was the most interesting to me. I thought it would give the performers the sense that they could take their time and explore their world without giving them an explicit directive to form a narrative, or forcing them into being artificially dramatic.
Then I just had to pick a cast of strong actors who are also – and I hope they're cool with me saying this – incredible weirdos. People who can do complete nonsense with gravity and a straight face, and love doing it.
How does the audience get to design the set for the show?
How is improvising with a set different than working without one?
Your show is an improvised one act play. What plays inspire you as an improv director?
I'm actually extremely ignorant and poorly-read when it comes to scripted theater, so my references are kind of limited. I think 12 Angry Men is a great play for clear and believable character behavior because each juror has such a clear perspective. I think it's also a strong lesson for improvisers because the show wouldn't work unless the jurors let themselves be convinced one by one. Even juror #3, who is never actually convinced, eventually goes along with a not-guilty verdict because he gets so worn down and upset. From an improv perspective, he follows the logic of his character all the way to the end but ultimately accepts the offer given to him even though it hurts and feels like a loss.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (the musical!!!!!) is great because the characters are all super smart and capable, but get into extremely stupid and absurd situations anyway. The show is so good because nobody seems to know that what they're doing is funny or that they're in a comedy at all, so you have things like a guy singing "love is my legs/ and you are my love/ so you are my legs/ my love" from the bottom of his heart while a woman holds back tears.
If you could do improv on the set of any play you've ever seen, what would it be and why?
I'd love to improvise on the set of Hamilton because that means I get to be all smug right now and say I saw Hamilton. You guys, it's good! Also the set of Clybourne Park because there are so many sub-spaces to explore within it (the garden, all the upstairs rooms, the main foyer, etc) and because the set itself had so much personality.
The Setup is playing every Thursday night in September at 10 pm, as a part of Thursday Night Out. Don't miss it!

Whats your name?
Jessica Coyle
Which team or show are you on?
Where are you from?
Cincinnati, Ohio
How did you get into improv/sketch comedy?
When I was living in Korea, I saw a posting in a meetup group about doing comedy in English. I showed up a week early by mistake, I was so excited! It was great. I performed with them in Korea, China, the US, and Canada for 5 years. Most expat improv is short form, but after watching a show on a vacation to NYC that blew my mind I tried to teach myself long form techniques by reading books and watching YouTube videos. Trust me, it's better to learn that stuff in a class. (Fun fact about that time: I accidentally said "improvist" instead of "improviser" for YEARS without anyone correcting me.)
How long have you been performing/writing?
My first big role was as a child bride Mrs. Claus in the 4th grade, so about 975 years now?
Who in all the world would be your ideal scene or writing partner?
Paul F Tompkins, though I'd probably faint on him and get his fancy suit all rumpled.
Who would you most like to impersonate or write for?
A small goat.
What makes you laugh the hardest?
My sister – is she a what? Otherwise, certain Magnet performers I won't mention here for fear of appearing too obsequious.
Describe the soundtrack to your life!
A low droning moan, interspersed with the crack of fresh carrots being snapped in twain.
What's something you'd ask when meeting someone for the first time?
Oh God, we've actually met before, haven't we. please forgive me.
Where can we find you on a Saturday night?
Are you hunting me? Are you HUNTING ME? I AM DIONYSUS, GOD OF MASKS, AND YE SHALL NEVER FIND ME, WOODSMAN!
What, in your opinion, is the worst starburst flavor?
Burnt Foot (tied with Hot Wings Burp)

"The First 30 Seconds"
Legendary improv instructor and our good buddy from Chicago, Joe Bill, is stopping by Magnet to teach a one day workshop on Sunday, September 3rd, from 1-4 pm. Joe will be teaching a new version of his newest workshop "The First 30 Seconds" which focuses on the verbal, emotional, physical, and psychological content of the first 30 seconds of scenes to help you get optimally grounded and connected to what's happening REGARDLESS of the approach/style in which you're playing.
In Improvisation, so often, the ending is in the beginning. Let Joe help you begin your scenes in service to yourself, your scene partners, and the show youre doing. He'll show you how to attack the first 0-15 & 15-30 seconds (The Golden Time) of a scene. This includes the mindset of readiness, playing with energy variety for initiations, strategic & emotional listening, awareness of interpersonal vs. circumstantial dialogue, and tracking the context through patterns that you establish right from the start. Everyone will walk out of this workshop with at least a couple of new tools that they can begin to employ immediately.
Interested? Come play! Cost is $50. Just email Joe to reserve your spot! Email jbillscp [at] yahoo [dot] com

Liquid determined to be water with green dye
Hazmat was called to investigate mysterious liquid near Desert Regional Medical Center
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - A bright green liquid coming out of a storm drain was reported Wednesday morning in front of Desert Regional Medical Center.
The Palm Springs Police Department and firefighters were called to the scene at about 11:45 a.m. and a hazmat crew was also called to investigate the incident.
According to an official with the Public Works Department, the mysterious substance turned out to be water condensation with green dye in it.
Palm Springs Battalion Chief David Rees said the green dye was a leak-detecting additive that officials with Desert Regional Medical Center added to a water source in an attempt to determine a water flow issue at one of their buildings.
Rees said the additive was safe and never posed a danger to the community.
Tachevah Drive was closed between Indian Canyon Drive and Via Miraleste for about a half hour while crews investigated. The road was reopened at 1:10 p.m.Hazmat investigates green liquid in Palm Springs

Conceptual Aspects Regarding The Specifics Of Marketing Strategies In The Audiovisual Field
The global market is a challenge which requires a certain attitude from its economic agents, a proactive behavior meant to ensure advantageous positions in certain domains of activity. In the audiovisual domain, major enterprises have a precise and competitive strategy. Marketing strategies represent "the path chosen by the enterprise in order to achieve certain goals†which are of two types: market strategies and mix strategies. Market strategies typical of audiovisual services have the following criteria for classification: the relation between the demand and the supply, the type of relation with the environment, the competitive relations, the attitude towards viewers. Regarding the services in the audiovisual domain, well take into account, on the one hand, the classical components of mix marketing, namely the product, the price, the investment and the promotion, and, on the other hand, concepts from modern theories such as the personnel (and especially celebrities and the anchor of the respective TV station), the viewer and the relation with the audience.

The Healthy RV Lifestyle: Take Your Yoga Routine on the Road
|Sally Hauca, one of the founders of YogaRVing,
practicing yoga routines on the road.
While in Nevada with her husband, Galey thought, "I wanted to do my yoga before I went for a walk, and I just thought, 'I need Sally's program on a DVD.'"
After approaching Hauca (also an RV owner) for a take-along-program when she returned, the two came up with an even better idea. They decided to partner up and create a yoga DVD that would separate itself from the rest: YogaRVing, a program designed specifically for the small space of an RV.
|These routines are designed
sepecifically to fit in the space of
a motorhome or trailer.
YogaRVing has three sections that can be played through for the complete hour long session, or you can play individual segments. They make use of surrounding space by incorporating RV "props" such as seats and tables into the routines.
Fitness and maintaining healthy eating patterns are important even while you're away from home, and yoga is a great way to improve your balance, strength and relaxation. "No excuses," says Galey, "RVers and travelers need to stay fit and healthy in their prime of their lives when they are the freest and have the most time to enjoy their body."
If you're a frequent traveler looking for a fitness solution while you're vacationing in an RV, the YogaRVing DVD is available for sale online at www.yogarving.com. For more information on La Mesa RV, visit www.lamesarv.com.
