There are so many different ways to express feelings of love on Valentine's Day: some are sweet and sentimental, others are bold and celebratory. For kicks, I'm thinking I might want to surprise my loved one with an amazing and decadent love fort, like this one from designer Justina Blakeney.
Justina is the woman behind the LA-based design and consulting firm Compai Creative. She always shows a fearless use of color and has an amazing talent for mixing print and pattern to produce sophisticated, eclectic designs. You can read more about the making of this project from Justina after the jump, and be sure to check out Justina's Before & After projects, as well. Thanks for sharing, Justina! — Kate

In my family, building indoor forts was a weekly enterprise. Once constructed (usually after robbing every bed in the house of all sheets and blankets), we ate snacks, played games, told stories and eventually fell asleep all tucked inside. We thought a fun way to bring back a bit of magic this Valentine's Day would be to build a (slightly more) sophisticated fort for your loved one. Can you imagine the delight of coming home to find that your amour had constructed an enchanting tent for the two of you to eat, drink, play and tell stories for the night? — Justina
- about 5 sheets, sarongs and/or large pieces of fabric
- a few blankets
- one pole (we used an old shower rod, but a broom stick would do); size will vary based on how large/small you'd like the fort to be
- 4 screw hooks
- 1 spool of twine
- 4 large safety pins
- 1 newspaper
- pom-poms
- fishing line
- lots of pillows
- tape measure
- scissors
- hole punch
- needle
For the Fort:
1. Measure the length of the pole. Decide where you'd like to build the fort, and screw two screw-hooks into the ceiling the same distance apart as the two ends of the pole.
2. Cut two, 3-foot long pieces of twine. Tie each piece of twine onto either end of the pole, and tie the other ends of the twine onto the screw hooks.
3. Start with the heaviest sheet, and begin to layer the sheets and fabrics over the pole. that will help maintain a more tent-like shape at the end. Once all the sheets are on the pole, measure about 2-feet down from the pole in front, and hook one safety pin through all of the sheets. Do the same on the parallel side.
4. Cut two pieces of twine about 3-feet long and tie one piece to each of the two safety pins. Screw the remaining two hooks into the ceiling about 2 feet from the pole on either side. (Actual distances will vary depending on how large you make the fort.)
5. Tie the two pieces of twine that are attached to the safety pins onto the two empty screw hooks in the ceiling.
6. Fill the inside will pillows and blankets for extra coziness; add chocolates, champagne and whatever else you fancy!
For the Newspaper Heart Garland:
1. Fold newspaper in half and cut out a half-heart shape from the fold.
2. Keep the hearts folded and punch one hole into the center of the folded heart so that once the heart is open, there are two holes.
3. Weave the twine through the holes in the paper hearts to complete the garland.
For the Pom-Pom Garland:
1. Thread your needle with the fishing line.
2. Thread the pom-poms onto the line, but be careful not to table the wire.
That is way too cool. My daughter is always trying to construct little private places in her room and this looks like something we could easily pull off. Thanks for sharing!
Wow!! the most beautiful styled fort EVER! xx
What a lovely idea! And if you have all the materials no need to spend money on going out!
forts are the best! this one is gorgeous!
Oh, I LOVE this! So inspiring! I can't wait to try something similar for my Shmoopie! (and our little Shmoopie.)
wow, i love this! much more sophisticated than the kitchen chairs/blanket blueprint i've always tried. :)
Love this idea…romantic, fun and definitely like a bohemian retreat!
This is great! (and not limited to Valentine's Day methinks!! Looks like the perfect place for alone time and snuggling up with a good book!!)
This reminds me my childhood, always trying to make little houses, behind the sofá, in the grandfathers garden…I think this is very nice way to surprise our loves. Thanks for share!
This is a wonderful Idea. I love forts and what's a better excuse to make one than to love someone with one.
I love all the patterns you included in the example. It looks so exotic.
Very romantic and low budget also!
thanks much
This is absolutely Gorgeous!!! My daughter would love love love this to do for her brand new fiance!! I gotta show her this …I will then jump back cause I know shes gonna SCREAM!! LOL and trust me…that girl can scream!! LOL Thanks so much for sharing this it is amazing!! One little note I wanted to share though…best be really careful there….if things got a little frisky…that fireplace looks a little close to that material hanging! Dont wanna heat things up in a "bad"way!!…. Im just sayin,…LOL
Hugs from Ky~
Not a fan of V-Day, but that is awesome!
Oh~ get out! That's fab! I've been stuck on your site for an hour!!!
I absolutely love it! I was laid off very recently and was starting to panic trying to think of something inexpensive to do for Valentine's Day. This will be more way more fun than booking a dinner at a crowded restaurant!
love this idea..good family event…and can be done economically, too..like that it's not the usual "go out and buy a store bought gift" routine…this is more creative and fun…and it creates memories..most people don't remember what you gave them as a gift, but they do remember fun times together….
Awww. I want to make this so bad! Unfortunately, I have like 25ft ceilings that I could not even begin to reach without investing in a $300 ladder:(
I do love my ceilings though.
This is genius!
I'm a huge fan of "show your love" not "break out your credit card" presents. It probably comes from when I was little and the only presents my mother liked from us kids were hand made. She didn't even try to fake it with the bought stuff. Anyway, other presents that work, are silhouettes made from you or your kids, mac's garage band makes it easy to record a love song (that you write and sing), shadow boxes of a private joke, special day, etc. Ah love – it's so inspiring.
kinda want to remove my couch now and just keep something like this up permanently in my living room to make a pillow palace!
LOVE this!!! i don't have any way to suspend anything in my living room but I do have a painters ladder & a few stools to aid in the construction! i never watch movies but i think this calls for a movie night with homemade pizza & popcorn!
This is so adorable, we have a pink gingham tent from land of nod for our girls… This would be amazing to set it up as a surprise for valentines day. I love how you took it to a whole new level and mixed all the patterns.
Valentine's day fort? I think it's so pretty that I would let that fort all year around!
Wow, this is amazing!
oh my god if d*s posts one more cutesy valentine's day post I am probably going to lose my mind. two more weeks of this?
only one more week- hang in there ;) we got a TON of requests for Vday ideas so we're doing our best to get some fun ideas out there for those interested.
ummm… Is it weird that I would want this awesomeness up year-round?! SO FUN!
Love the boho vibe it has! Great job, Justina!
Very cool but not too practical for an apartment. I would get in so much trouble for putting holes (or leaving hooks) in the ceiling.
whoa!!! this is an awesome valentine's day fort! I wish I had low enough ceilings for this =(
oooh what a perfect place for hiding and relaxing
I love this! Can I blow off work and come over and hang in the fort?! I can envision a palm & card reading party in there too! So fun. I am ready to crawl in there with a book right now teehee ;-)
This is so gorgeous! I'd love to have this up year-round too. So much fabulous color and texture here!
The newspaper garland is my favourite! This is super cute, thank D*S!
this is seriously the cutest thing i have ever seen for valentines day . amazing work !
Absolutely brilliant diy post! Thanks!
please disregard the other comment i had copied and pasted the wrong thing to say!!…but anyway i love this idea! and i would never take this down, it looks like it belongs in the room <333
oh my gosh!!!! I want that!!
this is the cutest thing EVER!!!!
Nice, but it looks like it's going to catch on fire.
*swoon* I want a valentine's day fort.
wowowowow! First off thanks so much to the whole D*S team for posting our little project and doing such a sweet job with the layout and write-up. Second, thanks to all of you for all your truly heart-warming comments. Speaking of *warming* to those of you who were worried about it being close to the fire, it's a bit hard to tell with the camera angle, but the fire is a good 4 feet from the fort. xx
genius and inspiring! i'm smiling:)
I love how there's a how-to make a fort, SO COOL!!
Uhm, adorable!!!
Unrelated question:
where is the pinata/woman from in the third to last picture?
and can we get sources for the last picture?
Cute! How romantic. <3
This is completely adorable and would probably make for a romantic canopy for the bed year round!
To Elizabeth: The doll is a Mexican paper mache doll that belongs to the other Stylist (Caitlin Levin), as for the last photo, I got the pillows in Turkey, but they can be found pretty easily at Turkish Rug shops here in the States. The metallic turquoise tea cup is from Maison Midi here in LA and the gold tea pot was a thrift store find. Hope that helps a little!
Thank you! What a great, creative respite. Can't wait to make one, I have the perfect spot.
Whoa! This is wonderful! Very romantic, but not in a cheesy kind of way lol. It's amazing what creativity and imagination can do to several blankets, sarongs, and all sorts of materials! Thanks so much!
Love it! The most beautiful hideaway ever.
That is so wonderful. It is so dreamy.
ZOMG that's the best boho blanket fort of all time!!!!!
Honest: I feel like my BF would get a little creeped out if this suddenly popped up in the living room, but the cat would love it.
Double Honest: Cat wins every time.
I love this so much, it so romantic! My only problem is the toddler-creature that lives in my house. He would love it, which would make it decidedly less romantic.
My husband did this for me on our first Valentines together!!!
Nothing will ever top that!
So cool. For a moment I thought that the title read, "Valentine's Day Fart".
This is kinda what I had planned for our Bollywood valentine's dinner. So excited to see that it exists outside my imagination. Inspirational. I'll try hard to live up to this.
This is a great idea for spending a cozy V-day together as a family. How perfect!
OMG. Finally! I've been looking all over the net for instructions on a fort just.like.this!! I know this is a post for V-day but i've been wanting to make one for my son's play room. My latest attempt was similar but in the end didn't turn out. i just need to tweak it a little this weekend. a big THANK YOU D*S!!!
justina's work is so inspiring! thank you d*s for featuring such an awesome idea! tents/forts/teepees seem to be all the rage these days, and personally i'm loving the childish throwbacks. why NOT build a fort? amazing. i featured this idea in my valentine's day inspiration blog:
thanks again for always posting awesome ideas, d*s! you keep us inspired!
i am freaking out over that hanging macrame thing! LOVE it. i am inspired! i think i may have to make a love teepee for vday this year. it can live permanently in our yard so that we can vday whenever we want!
I LOVE this idea! Unfortunately, or fortunately, we have really high ceilings so I wouldn't be able to hang this from them, but even making a cozy fort with chairs is a cool idea! I can't wait! Now, somehow, I have to get him out of the house for an hour!
I love this, but I am concerned about putting in the time and effort and perhaps some money if the hooks arent going to hold the weight of the sheets in the ceiling… i am afraid it will just all fall out of the ceiling and be a disaster…thoughts on this??
This is so neat! A few years ago, I made a fort for Valentine's Day, although not exactly like this one. I ordered a sheer canopy (mosquito net) and hung it from the chandelier. I lit all the candles I could find, stuffed some blankets and pillows underneath the canopy and served dinner there. It was stunning and so romantic.
My fiance did something similar to this one year for v-day. He also added a "star projector" that lit up the inside of the fort with constellations. It was kinda perfect.
Saw this just in time and made a birthday fort this weekend–it was such a hit! Thanks for the inspiration.
Also, for anyone who didn't want to put hooks in the ceiling, I offered a more temporary option in this blog post:
Again, thanks for the idea!
wow wow wow. this is like out of my dreams! thanks for sharing ;) we have a large picture window/nook in our bedroom thats about six feet wide and three feet deep. PERFECT for a fort lol
Oh this is way too cute. A must for Valentine's Day snugs! Thank you for posting.
Wow, this reminds me of the forts I used to build when I was a little kid, except all grown up + super sexy!!! I love this!!! Will definately be doing this for my sweetheart. Thanks!
This is so romantic! Really love the idea!
This is so cool!
Yikes this makes me cringe! How long until it catches on fire? I can't even be in love with that fort as long as all that fabric is directly in front of the fireplace!
That's adorable! Very romantic too!
It's like a nice big, cosy ****body wrap****
oh my, I have all the prep work done and I'm totally doing this tomorrow.
I usually write about play spaces for children, but this makes me want a fort of my own!
My husband made a tent for me for my birthday! Thanks so much for the plans. You can see it here…
how beautiful! when I have a bit more of a permanent spot, I'd like to build up a permanent little fort like this for napping, tea, lounging, reading etc. the pompoms making me giggle. ssssoooo good. It'd be nice to see if there is a way to incorporate this into a bed, like if a futon were under it or it hung like a canopy above a regular bed.
i'm so in love with this fort… i want it… i need it… would love to make a permanent one too! futon idea under is great!
Until I saw Karen's comment, I was beginning to think that I must be the only one to see the blazing log fire directly behind all that fabric and paper… I do love it though, except I'd like to make one just for me. Den building shouldn't be confined to one day in theyear! ;)
I want to make one of these in my daughter's room for her bed!! She has a wrought iron twin bed frame that squeaks like crazy and I've been trying to decide what to do with her room. I'm thinking of putting her mattress right on the floor and building her a tent around her bed! She's six, I think that would be just magical! Thank you for the great tutorial!!!!
This is by far the ultimate design for a fort! I plan on using this for an intimate dinner setting in our yard. Thank you so much for the tutorial and easy instructions!
I'm decorating my little girl's room, and I have been looking for and idea just like this! Brilliant! I link you to my blog as well :) Hugs, Ingrid
Amazing inspiration! Made a similar "love fort" this weekend for my boyfriend who absolutely LOVED it. thank you so much for the great ideas
I am actually constructing this today for our Valentines date tonight…can't wait!!
Very very good idea!!
Nice place with lot of colours!
We love this style!
This looks great! Kind of thinking I might just build a fort rather than buy a couch for my new apartment! Just kidding.
What I'm really wondering is where you got all those wonderful sheets since my plain white fort would look much less amazing than this one!
This is great work Justina! Thank you for sharing!
I would love to surprise my husband with this but alas I have cathedral ceilings. :(
This is great. My husband and my anniversary is coming up and we don't have a lot to spend so we decided a night in without kids would be nice. He is in charge of cooking dinner for us and I am going to put this up in our living room. :) thank you for the idea and easy to follow instructions.
Really beautiful fort. Think I may do this as a reading corner for my class. Can I just ask did you make the pom poms from wool or did you buy the more synthetic-ey ones. Don't think I have enough time to make all of those pom poms!
where did you purchase the cool white lamp? I am going to do a tent like this for my Granddaughter…. she will freak out!
Hello! Love this idea (for Valentines Day or otherwise!) I am currently working on a Valentines Day Round-up for my blog Vildmarket.com & would love to feature this idea in the round-up! Let me know if you would rather I did not, I will take it down with no hard feelings.
Thank you in advance,

WHEN YOU BUY - ONE DIES! If you want a pet; there is one out there that wants a home...don't feed into the dark dismal, dark world of puppy mills and animals that are put down for the lack of a home.
Firm supporter of Animal Shelters and Adoption. Often the pets in shelters are some of the sweetest out there. Find your local shelter and give a dog, cat, etc. their loving forever home they deserve! YES.

Cats in Clothes / "We should be more like cats: soulful, stylish, and entirely unconcerned with others' opinions" says artist Heather Mattoon, motivating her lovely Cats in Clothes series of paintings. Each portrait shows a unique character, each cat having a distinct personality and an outfit to match. Also every art piece comes with a brief description, a teaser to a fun possible story.

Paralyzed Kitten Learns to Walk A kitten named Lincoln came to the Tenth Life animal shelter in St. Louis, MO as a quadriplegic. "He was completely immobile, unable to even bat at a toy," the non-profit writes on its Facebook page. But after 10 days of physical therapy with foster parents, the shelter reports that Lincoln has taken his first steps since injury. Watch the tear-jerking video here.

DLTK's Crafts for Kids
& Cultures Crafts and Activities for Kids
Over time, I've created a number of crafts specific to particular countries or cultures/religions. I've decided to create this ideas and pull them all together for people working on an "around the world" type of theme.
Some of these ideass were originally created for a national holiday of that country, but mainly include generic crafts you can use when learning about that country or culture.
(Hawaii is part of the US, but I thought it deserved a separate ideas for its unique culture)
General Ideas:
Bracelet Paper Craft - (Age 3+) just change the colors in the instructions to match the colors of the country's flag
Dove Crafts and Coloring - peace on earth
French Language alphabet tracer pages
Unity handprint wreath - a nice idea for a "world wide" theme

DEFINITION of 'Market Cycles'
1. Trends or patterns that may exist in a given market environment, allowing some securities or asset classes to outperform others. The securities themselves may exhibit price patterns in their trading.
2. Trends within a particular sector or industry created by a particular innovation, product line, or regulatory environment. Revenue and net profits may exhibit similar growth patterns among many companies within a given industry.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Market Cycles'
Market cycles are often hard to pinpoint until after the fact and rarely have a specific beginning or ending point. However, most market veterans believe they exist, and many investors pursue investment strategies that aim to profit from them by trading securities within the swings of the cycle.
Market cycles take both fundamental and technical indicators (charting) into account, using securities prices and other metrics as a gauge of cyclical behavior.
Some examples include the business cycle, semiconductor/operating system cycles within technology and the movement of interest-rate sensitive financial stocks.

RE: Robert W. Meekins 87739724
Patrick, I lived 12 summers on Roanoke Island when my father was director/general manager/producer of The Lost Colony Outdoor Drama. My mom played Queen Elizabeth. My sister and I were in the crowd scenes as colonists and I was the "burning girl" in the Indian Battles. Daddy lived there until his health forced a move closer to me & my sister. I don't need any transfers as I am not related - just working on some old entries that tied into yours. Happy New Year! Robin Knowles Miner

Robert W. Meekins 87739724
Robert is buried in the Old Town Memorial Cemetery in Old Town, Dixie County, FL Findagrave ID# 101738866. Personally, I would leave the grave and photo you have listed because there is a memorial stone in the Meekins Cemetery. I just wanted you to know where his final resting place was. I spent 13 wonderful summers on the Outer Banks in The Lost Colony. What is IRONIC is that I was researching my father's family who ARE buried at Old Town when I found Robert's grave.
My Daddy was Bob Knowles of the Lost Colony. So He was from Florida, living in Dare Co., and Robert was from Dare, living in Florida. Thought you could list in his bio, his grave ID #

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! You're likely a little sick of hearing about SOPA by now. I know I'm sure as hell tired of writing about it. But yesterday, everyone from Google to Wikipedia protested the highly controversial bill, commonly resulting in a blackout of sites frequented daily by millions of users all around the world. It doesn't matter how big of a rock you live under; if you didn't know about SOPA before, you know about it now. I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking about SOPA to Fiorello LaGuardia and he's been dead for sixty years. So just as you and all your hipster Internet buddies may be moving on to the next thing, mistakingly thinking that SOPA is dead and buried simply because President Obama said he would not support it in its current state, there's countless more people only now awakening to the threat. And they're all wondering, "What the hell is SOPA?" They may also be wondering, "Do you pronounce the other one 'pippa', or "pipa'?" but let's just stay focused on one thing at a time. Since there's already an encyclopedic abyss of SOPA-related rants, news, interviews, and video games out there, I thought I'd wrap the general idea all up into a cute little infographic, with the help of designer Lorena Guerra. Note: This may or may not reveal my slightly biased, personal stance on SOPA, and is not necessarily that of VentureBeat's as a whole.

Guns N' Rosa Parks
Rocking a laundromat with shitty jam bands? Playing a benefit show for Rwandan refugees while dressed as Chippendales dancers? It's all par for the course for Fort Collins's Guns N' Rosa Parks. Formed in 2004, the band has spent the past couple of years living as irreverently as its name, in the process releasing the One Life Drama Free demo and last year's bludgeoning Antifreeze EP. Burning through seventeen songs in 22 minutes, Antifreeze is a knuckle-sandwich affirmation of everything that's great about hardcore punk: snot, booze, laughs, riffs and a healthy dose of misanthropy in the tradition of Gang Green and Poison Idea. Guns is currently planning a summer tour of the West Coast. In the meantime, catch the group on Thursday, April 27, at the Climax Lounge, with Formaldehyde Junkies, Totally Gone, Los Sobrios Emputados and DDC. True, its old-school onslaught won't break any world records for originality. But it'll seriously fuck up your spin cycle.

Organizational Tips for Knitters and Crocheters by Kelsey Innis, San Francisco, CA
When knitting or crocheting, if you need to put down your work and you don't have a point protector handy, try using one of those erasers that fits over the end of your pencil. It's soft, so even if your needle doesn't fit snugly into the opening, you can jam it in. This is also useful when you are crocheting, especially with slippery yarn.
To use up yarn scraps, start a yarn ball! Just tie the scraps together. As long as it doesn't get too big , you can stash it in your bag. Just make sure you don't start using it for a project!
When knitting or crocheting, to help keep yarn tension even, wear a smooth gold ring on your ring finger and thread the yarn through it. This is especially helpful to those with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
To remove wrinkles from yarn that has been ripped out, wind the yarn around a large box, like a suit box. Tie it in four places with contrasting color yarn and remove the hank from the box. In the microwave, boil a bowl of water, turn off the microwave, and put the hank beside the bowl. Leave it in the microwave for about 20 minutes. Then lie the hank flat on a towel and let it dry completely. Wind it loosely into a ball.
When knitting or crocheting, try putting your ball of yarn into a Ziplock bag, almost completely closed except for where the yarn comes out. This prevents tangles and knots.

I've used 2 and 3 liter plastic bottles. I cut off the bottom almost all the way thru then feed yarn end thru opening, put the skein into the bottle and use some masking tape to hold the botton closed. I can then write on the tape the type, color and other information on the tape.Can't take all the credit, got part of the idea from another magazine. jr

I've seen instructions for using a large vinegar bottle as a yarn holder; I'll try to track down a link to it, as it came from the Internet. For yarn storage I reuse large plastic bags that had stored bedding. One that held a duvet and a pillow cover came in two large compartments that used for two types of blue yarn (light/heavy, in my case). Keep an eye out for these bags at your recycling location; mine came from my father's retirement community. I really appreciated the info new to me on preparing previously-used yarn and washing yarn.

@BombayGranny 4982650: Thanks for the new yarn organizing tip! It sounds like it would work really well for some skeins. Thanks for sharing -- FaveCrafts editors
Apr 11, 2011
I tried the ziploc bags, but found they were so slippery they kept falling out of my lap or off the chair arm or pulled too easily out of my yarn tote. They also didn't work for the biggest skeins of yarn or for skeins without a center pull, i.e., skeins that unwound from around the outside instead of from the inside. I'm a big fan of using what I already have around the house, so I think I'll start saving large coffee cans and put a smooth hole in the lids. Will let you know how/if that works.

Buy some Gridded notebooks and/or milkcrate/filing boxes. You can keep your books together and your stash in totes. You can use the notebooks as a project diary, like a sketchbook for possible future projects, and to list your stash inventory. If you can take a little time to make an inventory, and to make changes as you get new, you should be able to look at pattern requirements and know if you can meet them, or if it's time for a scrap project. I categorize mine by: 1)Brand 2)Style 3)Color# 4)Color Name 5)Total wgt/yd and (*)for Varrigated.

Please tell me how to make a scrap yarn ball. Thank you!
Feb 13, 2011
My local 99-cent store has 1 and 2-quart drink pitchers for $.99 I put the skein or ball of yarn in, standing up, and put the lid on, letting the yarn feed through the pouring spout. The pitcher has a handle, yarn doesn't tangle, and while the project is small, I can stash it in with the skein to travel. When I was teaching teenagers, it helped immensely to keep their skeins clean and untangled. At the end of each class session, they transferred their project to a 1 or 2-gallon zip bag to await their return. When I'm changing yarn colors in the same project, I put each color in a different pitcher, and I can shuffle them to keep the right color in position.

As a relative new knitter I loved these organizational hints Thanks so much--now I just need ideas on how to compress my "stash" so it takes up less room but colors and type of wool are still visible! Plastic bins hold plenty but don't fit under the bed.

Just thought I would pass this along that I like the zip lock bag idea but I have used tall instant ice tea cans and (covered them with contact paper to make it look nice), put my yarn in then poked a hole in the lid pulled the end of my yarn through the hole and snapped on the lid. I have made alot of these for my friends and they just love them.

Interrogating America Through Theatre and Performance (Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History)by William Demastes
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Interrogating America looks at American culture and politics from the lens of American theatre and drama, drawing from specialists in the field of theatre to reflect upon the role of theatre in the creation of the American cultural and political milieu. The essays confront such iconic concepts as the American Dream and the American Melting Pot, addressing issues such as American enfranchisement and historical limitations placed on the idea of inclusion based on class, race, and gender. Together, the essays create a portrait of the dynamic give-and-take that is central to the idea of Americanness and America itself.
An examination of American history and culture through the lens of theatre and performance
This collection brings together a diverse group of essays dissecting American plays, movies, theatre productions, and other performance types that examine America and its history and culture. From Amerindian stage performances to Tennessee Williams to New York City vaudeville to consumerism exhibited on the stage to AIDS and post-9/11 America, Interrogating America through Theatre and Performance displays the various and important ways theatre and performance studies have examined and conversed with American culture and history.

The streets were decorated with tiny white lights, each pub, restaurant and store front was decorated for the holiday. There were warming gas fires along the street, just a perfect way to spend New Years
Took my first day back in Newport in decades to walk Thames, Spring Street and part of Bellevue Avenue. All three look great, many new improvements and a plethora of interesting (for the most part - except some obvious touristy places) shops, buildings, historic sites, businesses, etc. Everything looked great on a late spring day. I did some like shopping...
We stayed in a hotel on Thames Street and found that it was the perfect location to walk to shopping and restaurants. It made it easy to come back to the hotel and then go back out in the evenings. We were glad we chose the Thames Street location and we looked at many others.
Thames Street is filled with shops hawking all the Chinese tourist t-shirts and other items. The Museum Shop is more high-brow as well as some galleries along the way. Restaurants line the main st. and parking is impossible. You can take charter boats for tours in the harbor and out to Rose Lighthouse.
Thames Street is a magnet for young...
Nice area to walk around. Close to harbour & lots of small shops, pubs, restaurants & some art shops. I enjoyed the Antique Armory which has many small traders inside selling antiques. Lots of marine & yachting bits. Enjoyed walking around there. Overall Thames St is pleasant to walk around & worth a visit but not a must see.
Lots of t-shirt shops and other touristy shops. Quite narrow for driving and limited parking. Better to find parking on a side street and walk it if you want to give it a try. Nothing special in my opinion.
My wife liked the armory antique store. The busy harbor was cool, a lot of nice boats if your into that kind of stuff. I've been to a lot of touristy towns like this, and this is definitely not on my top 10 "I have to come back here" places. If not for the proximity to the piers and the...
Our Hotel was on Thames street so we were right in the middle of the activity. We walked it both ways and looked at "everything". I did like the antiques at the Armory, but it is hard to buy stuff when you are flying. There were nice restaurants but some were very pricey. We did eat at the Subway by...
There are lots of cites in America that, unfortunately, look like this street with souvenir shops, t shirt shops and other useless stuff for sale. There is lots of charm in Newport, just not on Thames Street.
There is little to recommend most of Thames Street unless you like tourist shops for tee shirts. Several pub like restaurants are concentrated at the beginning of the street. The streets are filled with tourists. There is an antiques mall if you like that kind if shopping. If you travel further away from the beginning of the street there are...

Corina Laura

Explore Playa del Carmen
The tropical beach resort of Playa del Carmen on the Atlantic coast of Mexico´s Yucatan Peninsula has grown in popularity over the last decade and as a result the laid-back beach town is teeming with lively bars, inviting restaurants, and dozens of tour operators organizing trips for you to enjoy. Although this idyllic village has its own charms, it is the attractions in the surrounding region that hold the most fascination for visitors. The Yucatan was a former Maya stronghold and several ruins are still in good condition such as Coba and Tulum, although the pearl of them all is ancient settlement of Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the new world. Plunge into the refreshing waters of hidden cenotes in underwater caves, snorkel in the second largest barrier reef in the world, visit the Xcarat eco-park and or swim with dolphins in the Xel-Ha nature reserve.

Temperatures in summer however are unbearable and hordes of summer tourists are best avoided, whereas December to May the sun is cooler and the crowds have thinned.

Getting to and around Playa del Carmen

Dragon TV brings speech recognition to Panasonic's 2013 Smart TVs
By Darren Quick
March 25, 2013
Nuance Communications has been spreading the wings of its Dragon line of speech recognition software beyond the desktop with products like the Dragon Drive! platform designed for in car use. Now it's making its way into the living room with its Dragon TV platform giving Panasonic's 2013 Smart TV line the ability to listen and talk.
When Panasonic unveiled its 2013 Smart TV lineup at CES in January, including its flagship ZT60 series, voice recognition was one of the listed features. Nuance's announcement that it is its technology under the hood provides more details on just what this means.
Specifically designed for Smart TVs and set-top boxes, Nuance's Dragon TV platform is designed to allow viewers to control their TV using natural language. Using their voice, users can change channels, control the volume, search the program guide for a particular program or actor, and search the web via the TV's browser. Voice commands can also be used in the Smart TVs' email, Skype and social media applications.
Conversely, Dragon TV's text-to-speech capabilities also allows onscreen text such as show synopses and TV menu options to be read aloud – something that should prove handy for those with limited vision or reading skills.
It's been a while since I personally tried any Dragon speech recognition software, but I'd expect some training of the system is still required to allow it to get a handle on an individual's speech patterns and accent.
Panasonic's Dragon TV-enabled LED and plasma Smart TVs will be introduced over the Northern Hemisphere spring.
