Teaching Module: Understanding the Principles of Theater and Drama Communication 5600 Becky Locuson WMU Spring 2007 Locuson Page 1 Learning Objectives Recognizing the relationship between theater and art Identifying the basic elements of theatre performance (e.g. acting, directing, producing, designing) Analyzing basic characteristics of various dramatic forms (e.g. comedy, tragedy) Standards – English Language Arts* 1.3.1 Compose written, spoken, and/or multimedia compositions in a range of genres: pieces that serve a variety of purposes and that use a variety of organizational patterns. 1.3.7 Participate collaboratively and productively in groups—fulfilling roles and responsibilities, posing relevant questions, giving and following instructions, acknowledging and building on ideas and contributions of others to answer questions or to solve problems, and offering dissent courteously. 1.5.1 Use writing, speaking, and visual expression to develop powerful, creative and critical messages. 1.5.2 Prepare spoken and multimedia presentations that effectively address audiences by careful use of voice, packing, gestures, eye contact, visual aids, audio and video technology. *More applicable standards available Locuson Page 2 Use a dramatic introduction: Costumed scene Music (used for this demonstration) Dramatic reading using lighting Use props and sound effects Take the class to a theater to introduce unit What is the relationship between theater and art? 1a. Ask class to brainstorm their ideas about what art is while prompting them to "get at" the following ideas about art: (Provide personal examples where applicable) Art makes it possible for people to live wider and richer lives Art helps people to manage their environment and answer their deepest questions Art enables people to express the inexpressible Art allows people to communicate their ideas about experience in a uniquely forceful way. Art communicates something about the human experience 1b.Ask class how art relates to theater (if they have problems here because of inexperience, have them relate art to movies or TV shows) Locuson Page 3 Identify the basic elements of theater performance Director Producer Stage Manager Scene Costume Lighting Designer Designer Designer Running Actors Crew Technical Director Construction Crew NOTE: Give examples as you are inspired 2a. Director's Job Description: Ask students if they can identify any famous directors (theater, film, TV). What contribution do they think a director makes and what are some of the specific contributions directors make to their plays, films, or shows that make their production so memorable? o Ultimately the director is responsible for everything that goes on onstage (blocking, set, performances, etc.) o The play becomes his/her artistic conception of it. o He/she motivates and inspires the cast and crew Locuson Page 4 2b. Properties Manager: Things to Know o Documents time and place; instrumental in creating "environment" o Three types of properties: Set props (furniture, lamps, tree stumps) Trim props (pictures, drapes, vases) Hand props (money, weapons, cigarettes) 3b. Sound Effects Technician: Things to Know Responsible for creating environment and mood (music, thunder, traffic, gunfire) 4b. Lighting Technician: Things to Know o Lighting systems are divided fundamentally into two components: A source of illumination (Lights, spotlights, flood lights, strip lights working together) A system of control – allows the technician to control amount, direction, color and intensity 5b. Costuming: Things to Know o Functions Documents time and place Aids in character portrayal Assists the actor in playing his/her role Functions metaphorically to help convey basic themes and the mood of the play Adds color and spectacle 6b. Makeup: Things to Know Enhances actors' natural features Aids in character portrayal or to document certain information about the dramatic character Aids the actor in feeling the role Functions metaphorically to help convey mood Locuson Page 5 Basic characteristics of various dramatic forms NOTE: I wouldn't teach a class about dramatic forms by using these descriptions alone. I have opted to emphasize them here because this is a study guide for a test that may require that teachers be able to identify the forms. These are all direct quotes. (Please see bibliography). 3a. Comedy: "The essential qualities of comedy aren't structural and its nature cannot be defined in terms of form, neither can it be linked to a particular subject matter. No one plot, characterization or theme is unique to comedy. It's the way the playwright views the experience and the value he/she assigns to it determines whether the situations in a play will be comic/serious" 3b. Tragedy: "The essential qualities of tragedy aren't structural and its nature cannot be defined in terms of form. It's a common spirit or view of experience which has come to be known as "the tragic view of life." It's a view that centers on our fate and, more specifically, on our need to give meaning to our fate despite the fact that we're doomed to failure and defeat. WE are born to die—the fate of humanity." 3c. Melodrama: "The drama of disaster" "Melodrama underscores a basic truth of the human condition: the majority of crises and conflicts in our daily lives lack tragedy's broader moral dimension." "TRAGEDY WITH CREAM" "The word is Greek (literally "music drama" or "song drama") and it referred to those parts of ancient Greek festivals that included songs and dances. The function of the music is to heighten drama." (Give the shark music from Jaws as an example) "Character of melodrama (drama of disaster) o Significant plot events are caused by forces outside the protagonists o Protagonist is a victim who is acted upon, whose moral character is not essential to the event and whose suffering doesn't imply related guilt or responsibility." 3d. Farce: "It's not easy to see the controlling vision of farce: everything is in a state of chaos; superficial farce has a cartoon quality, a series of apparently unrelated lightening flashes, but there's a zany logic to what happens. Fare is the expression of repressed wishes. (e.g. bedroom farces = repressed sexual desire)." Locuson Page 6 3e. Tragiccomedy: "Combines some of the qualities of tragedy and some of comedy. It's most like life itself as we live it day-to-day. The vision of tragicomedy is one of almost unrelieved despair, but one in which hopes springs eternal." ACTIVTIES Activity 1: Scramble game Teachers can employ a game like this as a tool to help students learn terms and avoid rote memorization. Activity 2: (This is a very basic outline. Adjust as needs or learning objectives dictate) This activity may take 2 weeks to a month to complete; teacher will be available to assist students as needed, but the goal should be to let students learn to work cooperatively together in decision-making and problem solving. This would also provide a good opportunity to get teachers/mentors from the community or from other disciplines involved (e.g. parents, business people, drafting, shop, IT, librarians, art, etc) Organize students into 2-person teams based on their interests: (e.g. producing/directing, playwriting, costume/makeup design, set design, properties/sound, marketing; business management/accounting). Due dates for each team will need to be flexible based on logistical requirements. For example: the director and producer will have to select the story and come up with an overall "vision" before meeting with teams; properties team may have to start working after the script is written, etc. o Producer/director select a children's book that would make a good children's play; they will come up will come up with a production and rehearsal schedule and then will meet with all other teams to discuss their "vision" for the play (characterization, set ideas, budget etc) and to get team input. o Playwriting team will then create a script (with some basic blocking) based on that children's story o Costume and makeup team will come up with the costume and makeup design for each character o Set design team will produce a set and lighting concept o Properties/sound team will create a list of trim, hand, and set props and sound effects along with resources o Marketing team will design advertising posters and playbill o Business team will create and manage an operating budget The teams will meet periodically to work collaboratively. The class will create a portfolio or multigenre project and/or a digital story documenting the project. The digital story can then be published online and/or presented at Parent Teacher Conferences or some other venue. Activity 3 Have students create a shoebox set based on a play of their choice. Resource materials are available in books and online. Locuson Page 7 Drama and Theater Exam Option A. Have students attend a production and write a review addressing the various theatrical aspects (genre, performances, set design, costuming etc). Create a grading rubric and provide that rubric to students beforehand so that they know what you will be grading against. Multiple choice: 1. "Blocking" is the term that refers to: a. Set design b. Movement by the actors on stage c. Screen printing advertising posters or playbills d. Keeping autograph hounds from jumping the handsome lead actor 2. What person is responsible for "running the show"? a. Director b. Stage Manager c. Producer d. Technical Director 3a. Identify stage right and stage left (actor's perspective) 3b. Identify the wings Audience 3c. Identify the orchestra pit 3d. Identify upstage and downstage 3e. Identify the apron Stage 3f. Identify center stage 4. A grip: a. Is one's hold on a baseball bat b. The person who moves or places scenery c. A term that refers to when the actor understands his/her motivation d. A lever on the light control board 5. A _____________ is placed in front over the lens of an ellipsoidal spotlight, the pattern (circle, stars, etc) is projected onto a backdrop. 6. Who was the Greek poet who is considered the "founder" of the dramatic arts? 7. Briefly describe the duties of the costumer designer OR the set designer. 8. Name a movie that has been adapted from a theatrical production. 9. The major divisions in a play are called ____________(scenes/acts). The smaller divisions are ___________(scenes/acts). 10. Give a reason for replacing one the of principle actors with his/her understudy and write an audience announcement to be made before the curtain goes up. Locuson Page 9

Kevin Costner Settles Lawsuit Over 'Robin Hood' Profits (Exclusive)
A deal with Morgan Creek stops a jury trial that was set to begin next Monday
On the verge of jury trial, Kevin Costner has settled a lawsuit that accused Morgan Creek Productions of hiding profits from him for the 1991 hit Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
The actor sued in July 2012, taking a bold shot against the independent studio. "Every actor hopes to star in a great movie that makes substantial profits," the lawsuit stated. "But if you're hoping to earn profits based on the success of your film and you want to be paid on a timely basis, then one company you certainly do not want to do business with is Defendant Morgan Creek Productions."
According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Costner claimed he got no profit participation statements in 2010 and 2011 and late statements from 2004 to 2009. He accused Morgan Creek of diverting money by assigning foreign distribution rights on Robin Hood from Morgan Creek to a foreign company owned by Morgan Creek CEO James Robinson. The rights were sold as a package, and Costner objected to the allocation of fees for every movie in this package, regardless of performance. The lawsuit included other accounting claims on behalf of Costner, who was entitled to 15 percent of the adjusted gross receipts of the picture in excess of $100 million, plus further participation on home distribution.
At the time the lawsuit was filed, Robinson told THR that Morgan Creek had been "very straight" with Costner over the years.
On the road to trial, Costner lost a fraudulent concealment claim that would have entitled him to punitive damages. The actor's lawyers went several rounds with the judge in an attempt to convince the judge that Morgan Creek should be tried for intentionally failing to disclose "truthful, accurate, full, and complete" revenue information on profit participation statements. But the judge ruled this summer that Costner was unable to demonstrate "harm above and beyond a broken contractual promise."
Costner also failed at a conversation claim, leading to the prospect that a trial scheduled to begin on Aug. 18 would merely examine whether Morgan Creek breached contract by failing to pay him the full amount of due money.
The parties told the judge on Friday that the case has been settled. An attorney for Morgan Creek confirms the settlement, adding that he couldn't discuss the terms.
Robin Hood grossed about $390 million when it came out in theaters. At the time the lawsuit was filed, Robinson said that Costner had already been paid more than $40 million for his work on the film.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Fresh from its 2014 redo, the 2015 Acura MDX luxury crossover SUV cruises into the new year with no major changes.
Now in its third generation, the Acura MDX is all-new for 2014.
There are no major changes for Acura's MDX for 2013.
There are no major changes for 2012.
There are no major changes for 2011.
The 2010 MDX see major changes in the area of design, power and technology. Acura's largest SUV sports a new front and rear end, a host of interior upgrades and a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission. Improvements have been made to the rear suspension, as well as to the navigation and audio system. A new option this year is the Advance package, which offers a revised Active Damper System and larger 19-inch wheels.
he biggest change for 2009 is the availability of a power rear liftgate on models equipped with either the Technology or Sport packages.
The Acura MDX has earned a reputation as one of the best loved, most reliable luxury crossover SUV's on the market. True to its roots, the 2015 Acura MDX continues to offer luxury and convenience, not to mention handling on par with much sportier rivals – especially when equipped with Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The MDX's recent makeover saw marked improvements in 3rd-row-seat access, fuel economy and body structure, the latter greatly improving the MDX's strength and safety. Unlike some luxury SUVs, the MDX for 2015 remains reasonable in both size and weight, keeping it competitive with newer SUVs such as the Infiniti QX60 and Audi Q7, and making it a viable alternative to such luxury giants as the Cadillac Escalade and Lexus LX.

'Covert Affairs': Annie Sees a Bright Future With Her New Boss (Exclusive Video)
Will Annie add to her "storied biography" to jump up the agency's ranks? THR has an exclusive scene from Tuesday's episode.
Covert Affairs isn't letting up when it comes to the drama.
On Tuesday's episode of the CIA actioner, "The Last Thing You Should Do," Annie (Piper Perabo) finds herself in the middle when she teams up with Joan (Kari Matchett) and new boss Lena (Sarah Clarke) for the latest mission: Bring Auggie (Christopher Gorham), who is holed up in Africa, back home safely.
As the scene between Annie and Lena -- over some hard liquor, mind you -- illustrates, exclusive to The Hollywood Reporter, Annie may be getting ahead of herself, with talk of her one day becoming a "Joan" or "Lena."
"We're going to accomplish a lot together, you and me," Lena says to Annie. The only way Annie can do that is with "a storied biography." "Then one day, it will be you. You will be that story," Lena says. It's clear Annie's intrigued by Lena's advice on how to jump up the agency's ranks.
As for Lena's thoughts on Joan? "She's a big girl, she gets it." The day may come when Annie may sever ties with Joan once and for all.
In the romance department, it seems Annie's relationship with Simon (Richard Coyle) is going along swimmingly.
Watch the clip above to see the scene play out.
Covert Affairs airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on USA.

Success with Cuttings
I just had to share my success with my first time attempting to root cuttings. I took seven cuttings from my mother-in-law's goldfish plant. I put them in a 50/50 mix of African Violet potting mix and perlite.
Of the seven, my cat managed to get ahold of and chew on four. One of those he completely destroyed. I put the remaining three back in the rooting medium to see what they would do since they already had a bit of root. Two are settled in the dirt and one of those has new growth. The third isn't settled in the dirt, but did still have root when I returned it to the rooting medium, so I'm hopeful it'll be okay.
The three that my cat didn't touch are all holding on to the medium and have a bit of new growth!
I am so excited and had to share!

I wear this everyday for protection and it is so lightweight and moisturizing. Purchased once from another retailer as myotcstore was out of stock and what I got was not the same formula as the one I received here. Could not be happier with the purchase and the price is great.

Beginning of the End
... time at their home where we went for a loooong visit and dinner.
The day of the wedding finally dawned and after visiting with more relatives we headed for St. Michael's Church in Grand Forks. It reminded me very much of our cathedral in downtown Nashville, except they still had a lot of statuary surrounding the main altar. The wedding was one of the most beautiful I had attended in a long time. The priest did a great job and it was obvious that he knew both the ...

There is another cool triple continental divide 2 hours south of this spot where the water splits in three ways flowing to three different bodies of water. It's not visible so I'd say it's somewhere you go if it's enroute. We are at the hotel in Fargo. Tomorrow we are heading through Bismarck, ND to Medora (an old western town in ND.) to spend the ngiht, see a show and whatever else comes our ...

If we had gotten on our Monday flight to Vietnam, we would not have been allowed to enter the country until January 12, which - a coincidence? - is the day we actually ARE arriving in Vietnam so we are fine. I shudder to think we may have been in the HCM airport for FIVE days before allowed entry. We are happy we were at home those days. Amazing, eh? We are still pondering what this glitch in our ...

Uphills were tough and breaths were hard to take, but with the wind at my back and a good 3-4 mile downhill stretch, the steep inclines became distant memories compared to the splendid descents.

Let's list the strangest things we have been saving !i
I was thinking today of some things that are in my garage that we are either saving or haven't gotten rid of yet.
One thing that my DH had my son put in the rafters of the garage are the wheels and lower frame from a long gone portable dishwasher.
Another thing we came across was a large box that we thought was a mirror or a photograph...turns out to be a table leaf...we do not have the table! Yet we still are holding onto the leaf.
How about you...what strange things do you have?
Let's answer more than once...anytime we come up with another funny, please share it so we can all have a laugh!
Who wants to go next ??
From my aunt's collection of everything she ever owned, a set of large, elaborate, colorful dinner menus from a Caribbean cruise in the early sixties.
A box full of New Yorker cartoons that I have been cutting out since the seventies. I have this idea about making wallpaper for the half bath downstairs....please do not have your copyright lawyers call me...!
A blue and gray felt beanie that my mother had to wear in 1933 as a freshman at the little boarding school we both went to.
A Mickey Mouse hat from 1980 that one of my kids wore home from DisneyWorld
a scrapbook that I kept in high school (from the late 60's - in it is a wrapped piece of Spearmint gum that my boyfriend (at the time) gave me. I have his name and date on it! LOL
A box full of leather bags that electronic equipment came in. We don't have the equipment anymore but I can't seem to get rid of the bags. Some of them are from large video cameras while others are just floppy-type bags.
A small wooden box that holds broken knick-knacks.
A mug collection that was started many years ago of places I visited. Then people were giving me them from places they visited. It's in the storage room in a tall, large box. I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I thought of putting my favorites up on the fireplace mantle but the cat seems to climb up there if there's anything sitting on it.
Recently, I did get rid of 8 rolls of calculator tape that I purchased on sale many years ago. The only calculator that I own that feeds paper never worked properly when I tried to put the paper in.
I also have loads of 45s and 78 records. (But, I also have a "record player" to play them!! LOL)
I usually just lurk in this forum. I just love to see what you all are organizing. I was lucky enough to be born with the extra organization gene and I donÂt mean that in a good way. I really think itÂs a curse but I have always been this way just as my mother was. My sister on the other hand couldnÂt organize a drawer if you paid her.
Anyways this made me laugh. Just a few weeks ago I was cleaning out the linen closet and decided the time had finally come to get rid of the Raggedy Ann and Andy and towels. I packed then up and sent them to my daughter with her birthday gift. If I remember correctly I bought them when her father and I bought our first house. It was just before her first birthday. She just turned 46! Boy do I wish they still made towels like that. They still looked brand new and they were used by DD for several years and used again when DGS was little.
I also have the scrap book from the 50Âs and early 60Âs plus the album of wedding pictures from my first husband, her father, and I havenÂt been married to him for almost 40 years. I could give them to her now but when my GS was little he didnÂt want to hear anything about my DH not being his grandpa. He is almost 23 and I think he could handle it now.

Netflix enlists the help of The Matrix creators for a new original series called Sense8
It's about time the Wachowski's (who are now longer the 'Wachowski Brothers', as Larry is now Lana) got into TV. Netflix have just announced an original new series for late-2014, Sense8.
Sense8 is being developed by the Wachowskis, as well as J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5. There aren't many details at all on the show, but it's a global tale of minds linked and souls hunted with a ten-episode run for its first season.
The idea of the Wachowskis and Straczynski working together has been something the creators have wanted for nearly ten years now, with the idea starting from a late night conversation about "the ways technology simultaneously unites and divides us."
RumorTT: Apple iTV to get 4K resolution, could launch as early as Q4 2013
In a weird twist of a rumor that is built off of another rumor, we are hearing reports this morning that the Apple iTV does exist and that it could be getting a 4K resolution. Reports are suggesting that the long-anticipated Apple iTV will arrive by the end of 2013.
In an interview with Bloomberg, renowned Apple analyst Gene Munster said that we will see an iTV device launched in Q4 of 2013, stating that there is "no question whether it's a set-top box versus a TV, it's an actual TV".
Bolstering these rumors is DigiTimes who is suggesting that the iTV will be getting a 4K resolution refresh shortly after launch. The 3840 x 2160 resolution screen could make its way into the iTV sometime in the first half of 2014, if rumors ring true. Additionally, DigiTimes cited sources familiar with Apple's supply chain stating that the internet connected TV will be voice controlled and feature a Kinect like motion sensor.
Samsung releases pricing for its massive 85-inch S9 Ultra HDTV, do you have a spare $39,999?
During this year's CES trade show in Las Vegas we saw a massive 4K Ultra HD TV from Samsung. The beast was perched in a welded metal frame and boasted a massive 85-inch 4K compatible LCD.
The 85-inch monster will hit store shelves (or floors, more likely) at the end of this month and will retail for a reported $39,999, making it one of the most expensive televisions on the market. Also expected to release soon is Samsung's Smart Evolution Kit which will retail for $300 and will connect to Samsung Smart TVs via Bluetooth to keep them updated with the latest software and firmware.
Also set to release around the same time is the HW-F750 Sound Bar, which features old school vacuum tube technology for a true HiFi sound experience. I do not know about you, but paying $300 for a device that updates my TV just seems a bit excessive. For $39,999, I would expect my TV to at least be capable of updating itself through it's built in Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet connection.
The Hangover Part III's teaser trailer looks to redeem the franchise
A bit of a non-tech post here, but I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who love The Hangover. The third outing in the franchise, The Hangover Part III, is nearly here and now we have an official trailer to share with you.
From the snippets shown, it definitely looks like it could redeem the mess that was Part II, and finish it off in a truly epic fashion. The original was a blast and I can't wait to check the final movie out. What do you think? What do you think the characters will get up to in this one? Are we looking at another drugged-out, drunken haze of a mess they get themselves into?

The new trailer for Iron Man 3 will blow you away
Can you believe we're only a couple of months away from Iron Man 3? It felt like just yesterday that The Avengers was out, anyway, the latest trailer to Iron Man 3 is here and it is awesome. Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black, seeing the director of the previous two Iron Man films, Jon Favreau, take a back seat.
As you can see from the above trailer, Iron Man 3 is going to be filled with a bunch of action and some great comedy thanks to Shane Black's direction. From what I've read, they actually explain within the movie why Tony Stark doesn't ask for The Avengers' help, which should be interesting in itself.

Roku 3 is here, includes upgraded CPU and new UI, goes on sale tomorrow for $99
Roku are back with their third-generation player, the Roku 3. After two years behind closed doors, Roku are ready to unveil their latest player which comes with a much curvier design. Inside Roku 3, we have a more powerful processor, dual-band Wi-Fi and a better remote toting audio out.
Audio out on the remote is a nice touch, with headphones included this makes for a truly personal (and private) experience. Roku 3 also includes a refreshed UI that is also said to spread to the "current generation" players, such as the Roku 2, HD, LT and Streaming Stick, as soon as next month.
Roku 3 sells for $99 through Roku.com and Amazon.com as of tomorrow, replacing the current top-of-the-line XS model.
RumorTT: Harrison Ford to return as Han Solo in latest Star Wars movie
Reports are surfacing that the elderly Harrison Ford will be returning as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars film. El Mayimbe of Latino Review says that his return is a sure-thing: "His deal is done, it's just a formality right now, they haven't really announced it yet."
We're still not sure that this is the case as the movie is still in its infancy, though there have been numerous other rumors that proved true. For instance, the rumor that J.J. Abrams would be the director proved true, so it is certainly possible this one will work out as well.
The source has been correct in other movie scoops before, as well, which lends some credence to this rumor. If the decision has already been made and a deal done, the announcement shouldn't be too far in the future. Worst case is we will know for sure when the movie comes out.
Raspbmc reaches final release one year after its inception
Just over one year after its inception, Raspbmc has hit its final development release, version 1.0. Raspbmc is of course the Linux distro aimed at creating a perfect merger between the famed $35 Raspberry Pi and the popular media center software XBMC.
Since its release, the Raspberry Pi has been popular among the HTPC crowd because of its cheap price and high performance hardware. Sam Nazarko, the terrifyingly young developer of Raspbmc started the project just over a year ago, and has today announced that it has reached the final release for its version 1.0.
On his blog, Nazarko said:
"I've been working on Raspbmc for a year and am now happy to announce the final release and congratulate XBMC on such a remarkable new release. Just to clarify what confused a few. Final does not mean we're not doing any more work, it means the 1.0 version of Raspbmc is available and stable.
Microsoft to launch premium interactive TV shows later this year
It looks like we can expect premium interactive TV shows from Microsoft by the end of the year, where we'll see the new TV shows launch on their Xbox Live service. This is all according to a top executive from Microsoft during All Things Digital's Dive into Media conference, in Dana Point, California.
Back in September 2012, Microsoft hired former CBS Network Television Entertainment Group president, Nancy Tellem, who would be responsible for a new production studio in LA and creating interactive content for the Xbox 360. We're now seeing the fruits of her labor, and the first things to grow from this seed.
We should expect the interactivity side of things to include Kinect compatibility, but it won't just be there to be 'cool', Tellem says "it has to be organic and a natural extension of what we are doing". She also declined to state just how much Microsoft are pumping into their original content, adding "we are certainly looking at a very robust content production schedule".

UK satellite TV service Freesat to get new YouTube app
Google has reportedly signed a deal with the free-to-air UK satellite service Freesat that will bring a dedicated YouTube app to the service. It is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV that offers users more than 60 channels at no cost to its users.
Freesat has said that the app will be built using HTML5 and will "optimize" the videos for TV viewing, offering a "visually stunning" experience. This is a good thing because anyone who has ever watched YouTube videos on their large HDTV will be able to relate to the poor quality on larger screens.
Freesat has a reported three million+ in sales of its set top boxes, and gains a great deal of free content through this deal. Google will be the major benefactor here, as the addition to the service will most certainly see an increase in UK based viewers, giving it more people to display targeted ads to.

Where in the world have you been?
I thought it might be fun to see how many places we have been as a collective group! Here's a more-or-less chronological list of the places I've visited or lived in, in my lifetime:
Kansas City and St. Louis, MO
Miami Beach, FL
Newport Beach, CA
San Francisco, CA (several times, and working hard to make it my permanent home)
Boston, CA
Phoenix, AZ
New York City
Oban (west coast of Scotland) and Isle of Mull (just off Oban)
North Island of New Zealand
And this concludes my tour.
How about you? Where have you been? And which place made the biggest impression on you?
Good question. I have been to a lot of places in the world, but I've never kept score so I'm not able to list all the places at this time.
However, one of my favorite places was in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.We left our modern hotel and went to breakfast on a canoe on the river. The river people offered us a great varity of food.
California - home base
England (lived there one year)
Spain - two weeks
Ireland - one week
a quick tour of:
Italy (ten days in Rome)
One day each in:
Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
Have also re-visited England and France
In the US:
New Mexico
Dallas airport stopover doesn't count as Texas, does it?
I definitely want to see more of the US, Mexico, and go down to Brazil one of these days. Canada too. Scotland, Wales. Back to England, France and Italy.
I forgot to list Cancun! And Aberdeen (Scotland)!
And one day in Paris. I'm tellin' ya, if you only have one day to spend in Paris, take one of those Brit Rail tours. We left Victoria Station at 6 a.m., travelled via rail through the Chunnel, enjoyed a guided tour (shout out to fabulous guide Janine) that hit absolutely ALL of the city's highlights. Amazingly, we were back at Victoria Station in a mere 12 hours. Just the best daytrip ever.
And of course that should be Boston, MA on my original post...unless there's a Boston in California that I don't know about. :o)
Annapolis, MD
Oahu, Hawaii
Monterey, California
all over California
Tijuana, Mexico
New Mexico
Richmond, Virginia
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania
All over Kentucky
All over Alabama
Sherman's route through Georgia (including Atlanta a blue million times, and even Savanah once)
All over Florida
Cozumel, Mexico
New Orleans, Louisiana
many times, but not all over, North Carolina
Las Vegas, NV
I've never been abroad, nor have I been to the northeast or the midwest. I'd love to do it all, but time is constrained and budget even more so. Both are increasing, but it'll have to wait some more.
49 states, we think we missed North Carolina and we can't understand how. All the countrys in the Britsh Isles, Portugal, Spain, France. Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Greece, Costa Rica Canada and Mexico. As a couple we have not moved much. Lived in Lincoln, NE, Ogalalla, Fairbury, Trenton and North Platte all in NE before settling here 40 years ago. Forgot a territory, we visited my brother in Puerto Rica.
When we moved from PA to CA we went the "northern" route since it was mid summer and it would be hot on the Southern route according to the AAA. And as we (dh&I) can recall,they made us a trip tic through PA, OH, IN, IL, IA, SD, WY, ID, UT, NV and CA. It was a wonderful trip.
Most of the lower 48, though I think I've missed RI and Delaware
Mexico (Cozumel, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Rocky Point, various border towns)
Canada (BC, Alberta, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, more)
Honduras (Bay Islands)
Grand Cayman
Puerto Rico
Papua New Guinea
Indonesia (Bali, Flores, Komodo)
Part B: biggest impression. Papua New Guinea sort of blew my mind. It's said to be a country of 850 languages, and many people still paint their faces, wear feathers and otherwise express their tribal lives. We went to scuba dive, but the people were far more fascinating than the fish life (which was also excellent). I also saw my first WWII Japanese caves and a spewing volcano over the town of Rabaul, which had recently been all but obliterated by an eruption. The airport was abandoned after being covered by 12 feet of ash. The volcano was still spewing ash a couple of times every day, so there was a lot of sweeping. I'd go back in a minute.
Fiji stands out too, in part because I went as a solo traveler so met a lot of people. Some very nice Fijians helped me navigate the overland transportation system, and my two favorite legs were taking a local transport truck with a one-eyed market farmer named Mary, and accepting a ride from a truck driver who pointed out all of his family landmarks, including his graveyard of generations My favorite spot was perhaps the island of Ovalau with its town of Levuka, once the country's capital, now a bit of a backwater with the oldest hotel in the country (in which I stayed for about $15 a night--this was about 4 years ago). It was also a couple of weeks before a coup, so there was lots of excitement in the air. And it was incredibly beautiful.
Speaking of excitement. Greece was a long time ago, and a great trip. We were in our 20s. On the way back, we wondered why there were so many men with guns in the airports, and why they were checking our passports over and over again--it turns out the plane before ours was hijacked in one of the more notorious hijackings of the 1980s. We always wondered if it would have been us had the terrorists stopped for coffee.
Bali was amazing too, and we chartered a (cheap) boat to take us around the Komodo islands for a few days of scuba diving. We slept on deck, and I've never seen so many stars. I'm sort of hot to see more of Indonesia, even though it's largely one of those places where, as a woman, the men won't talk to you if they don't have to (Bali is the exception).
Stateside, I have a thing for New Orleans, but I can understand anyone's love for California or any of the other coastal places.
Maybe too much information...but you asked!
All the wonderful places most of you have visited or lived makes me realize what a dull life I've led! I was born and lived in Washington, D.C. for 26 years, then Rockville, MD for 35, finally, Falling Waters, WV for 17, so far.
States I've visited besides MD and WV are PA, SD, MT, IA, WY, FL, NC, TN, and AK. Of course, getting to those places meant traveling thru many other states, but that doesn't really count.
On cruises: Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Guatamala.
But for me, the best of all were the five days I spent in Banff on a business trip with my daughter. She had to attend classes and meetings, while I got to explore that glorious place. My idea of heaven is (are?) mountains in general and the Canadian Rockies, in particular.
I enjoy reading about all the places we've all been in. It kicks in the memories of my trips. We have been to Mexico, both on a cruise and some individual trips. Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tumul and Quintana Ro, in the Yucatan . I don't know why certain things stand out in my memory, but while in Quintana Ro, we stopped at an ancient man made (Mayan) lake in the middle of the jungle. We went snorkling there and I played hide-and-seek with a big ol gorgeous parrot fish. We would approach each other and when we
got to close we would retreat and start the game again.
We saw a lot of the Mayan ruins, but for some reason, that fish stands out in my mind.
Dirtdriver, you mentioned Bali. I was there during the "Blessing of the food" rituals. There were women walking for miles with stacks of food baskets balanced on their heads to get to the blessings.
Talking about the waters of Bali, they were the clearest waters I've ever seen. We hired a local to take us out to some coral formations in the ocean. We snorkled and saw the most beautiful coral towers growing straight up from the ocean floor. All different pastel colors. There were huge starfish on the ocean floor and a lot of beautiful fish swimming around.

Very smart choice for our day in Venice. We had Rosanna from belliseme tours and she was a fantastuc guide. Beyond the historics, she personalized the tour. Made a huge difference to Just rattling on abt the history. Liked that there was a break before the boat tour for us to do our own thing
very informative
This is a fantastic complete tour of Venice. Although it is two hours walking, it is at a slow pace, so it's not overwhelming, but oh so interesting! This tour helps you fall in love with Venice all the more. Both of our guides, in the AM and PM were friendly and knowledgeable. Be on time or even a little early. They are very prompt. After you end the walking tour, be certain to go to ask and walk behind you to SuSo, for the BEST gelato in Venice! Also, the PM one hour boat tour can be at 230 or 530, depending on the number of people. I'm not sure you will get to select the time for the PM tour. We found out in the AM when we checked in for the AM so we had lots of time in between to walk around and souvenir shop, but had to rush to our dinner reservations after tour since they were already made in advance. Be mindful of that.
This tour and Viator rocks!! A must!
wonderful tour! will do it again!
We did the tour with this girl i forgot her name it was awesome i would do it again
Absolutely worth it! The walking tour was great and the boat tour was excellent! It didn't take up too much time either, loved the break in the middle!
Excellent, both the tour guides Francesca Wilma were very friendly and informative and clearly loved their job!
This tour was amazing!
The walking tour was excellent and the tour guide really knew her stuff. Lots of history and local knowledge incorporated and the two hours seemed to fly by.
The Grand canal tour was without doubt the highlight. Conducted at a nice leisurely pace and again loaded with history and is without doubt a must for anyone considering the trip.
Excellent value!

DEFINITION of 'Taping Rule'
A rule created by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) that requires that special supervisory procedures be put in place when a specific percentage of a firm's employees are hired from brokers/dealers that have been expelled or have had their registration revoked because they breached trading regulations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Taping Rule'
The percentage that is used to determine whether the supervisory procedures need to be enacted depends on the size of the firm - it ranges from 40% for a small firm to 20% for a large firm. The supervisory procedures involve recording all of the telephone conversations made between registered employees and both potential and existing customers for three years. There are currently 25 firms that are recognized by the NASD as disciplined firms.

Small businesses don't have larger companies' deep pockets. How to track e-mail campaign results on a budget.
Small businesses have it rough. When it comes to email marketing, they typically don't have the resources of larger companies. Their budget constraints affect all aspects of a campaign, from building an opt-in mailing list to developing the creative and tracking its results. It's the last piece of the campaign I'll focus on today.
American Meadows supplies flower seeds throughout North America. It began as a tourist attraction in the 1980s, but the seed catalog quickly became the main focus. As the Internet took off, so did American Meadows' online presence, and the company now relies solely on the Internet for its advertising. Of course, email marketing is a key part of that.
At first, American Meadows used server logs to track its email marketing efforts. Founder Ray Allen would look at the real-time hourly stats and could see when a spike in traffic occurred after sending out a mailing.
"I could see the browser traffic, but that's all I knew," Allen says. "The quality of the spike and the ability to quantitatively measure the traffic wasn't there, and that wasn't good enough."
So he invested in a service called ConversionRuler.com, a subscription-based performance-tracking reporting service. Allen now uses it to track each of his seasonal newsletters and weekly offers. With the data he has gathered via the ConversionRuler tool, he applies what he has learned to achieve better results from future campaigns. Here's some of what Allen has discovered:
These are just a few of the results Allen has either confirmed or learned by using the tracking service. He notes ConversionRuler starts at $19.99 a month and goes up in price based on volume. Other companies offering similar services include Clicklab, LISTSERV Maestro, and Site Stats.
For small businesses that haven't tracked email marketing campaigns because it seemed too expensive, investigate tracking software and service options. The knowledge you gain may be well worth the investment.

Miami Open presented by Itau
Miami Open presented by Itau
I spend a few months a year in Miami for my training blocks and my place is only half an hour from Key Biscayne, so this tournament is as close as it gets to home when I'm stateside.
Because I train on these courts during the year, it means I have a great feel for the surface. I love it here, the weather is incredible and there's always so much to do.
I love basketball so I like to try and catch a Miami Heat game or two when I'm out here, I've won here a few times over the years and it would be great to do it again.

Martin B. Kelner is a British journalist, author, comedian, singer, actor and radio presenter.
Education and early career[edit]
Kelner studied Arts and Social Studies at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, but dropped out, and he was employed as a reporter on the Western Daily Press in Bristol and for the Oxford Mail. He then joined the Central Office of Information, for whom he worked in Bristol, Lambeth, South London, and in Birmingham.
Martin Kelner moved to Radio Hallam in Sheffield to begin his career in radio. He started reading the breakfast show news before moving on to his own late night show. There was a brief spell at London's LBC and Manchester's Piccadilly Radio, before Kelner moved to Leeds in 1981 and the fledgling Radio Aire.
He left Radio Aire in late 1982, and worked for Yorkshire TV for a time on a programme called Calendar It's The Weekend. He was also a co-presenter on a TV show called Living It Up. Other television excursions for Kelner include Brainwave, a daytime quiz show and Pick of the Week.
BBC radio[edit]
In 1984 Kelner joined the BBC. He initially presented the weekday early show on BBC Radio 2 in September and October 1984, and then presented his own Saturday night show on the same station from 6 July 1985 until 24 March 1990, also returning to the early show for two stints during 1985. He then fronted his own Saturday afternoon show on Radio Two from 1 October 1994 to 23 March 1996. He also did many stand-ins for regular presenters on the network, peaking in the mid-1990s when he regularly deputised for Sarah Kennedy on the weekday early show (both when she sat in for Terry Wogan and when she was on holiday herself) and also sat in for Ken Bruce and John Dunn. He also presented editions of the Radio 2 Arts Programme from the north of England, and a programme called Let It Be ... Please! featuring bad or embarrassing cover versions of the Beatles' songs. He then fell out of favour at the national station, presenting his last Radio 2 show sitting in for Sarah Kennedy on 29 November 1996.
At the same time as he was on Radio 2, he was also presenting a local radio late night show broadcast from the Radio Leeds studios and broadcast across the BBC Night Network in the north, on which he first gave airtime to radio comedy sketches from Caroline Aherne. She portrayed the Mrs Merton character on his radio show ad-libbing conversations with Kelner for around eight years. He also introduced Aherne into network broadcasting on Radio Two and the original BBC Radio Five, where he presented the programme Five Aside for the station's opening months in 1990.
He returned to Manchester to present the breakfast show on 100.4 Jazz FM, where he introduced another great comic talent to the public in the shape of Jake Yapp's Dora Dale, with whom Martin produced the hit BBC7 comedy show, Pleased To Meet You. This show was nominated for a Sony National Radio Award on 28 March 2007 in the category of Best Comedy Programme.
Until October 2006, Kelner presented the Friday and Saturday late show at the weekends on BBC Radio Humberside, BBC Radio York, BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Sheffield.
Other stations he has worked for include BBC Thames Valley FM, BBC Radio Cleveland, Pennine Radio, BBC Radio Five Live, TalkSport, BBC7, BBC Radio Manchester, Real Radio Yorkshire and Mansfield 103.2.
From 2006 until 2010 he presented his own podcast, the Piss Poor Podcast, accompanied for the most part by Edouard Lapaglie. He also appears on BBC Radio 5 Live as a regular panellist on Fighting Talk (twice finishing as series runner up and winning the series championship in 2013), and has contributed to Chart The Week on Richard Bacon's programme. His most regular radio slot had been the BBC Radio Leeds Breakfast Show which he co-presented Mondays to Thursday from 6:30am to 9:00am, but he was reassigned to the lunchtime slot in November 2012.
Writing and journalism[edit]
Kelner's journalism includes a weekly column for The Guardian, Screen Break, taking a lighthearted look at the world of sport on TV, and a fortnightly column about radio. Screen Break finished on 31 December 2012; in his last column, Kelner provoked controversy on Twitter by describing Danny Baker as a "Self-regarding arsehole".[1] He writes occasional travel pieces for The Mail on Sunday, and has written for The Independent, of which his brother Simon Kelner was executive editor. Kelner began writing for The Racing Post at the beginning of 2013.
Other publications he has written for include GQ, Men's Health, Later (now defunct), RCME, The Observer, Landrover Owner magazine, You magazine, and Public Servant, the local and national government journal. He also has contributed to the YouGov website, and wrote television previews for the Daily Mail around 1994/95.
His first book, about the outer suburbs of show business, was called When Will I Be Famous?. His second book, Sit Down and Cheer, looked at the history of sport on British television.
Health issues[edit]
in the summer of 2013, Kelner was diagnosed with fibromatosis; he later had surgery to remove a sarcoma from his abdomen and was cared for at St James Infirmary, Leeds. He was later treated at the hospital's intensive treatment unit for a week, and returned to his home in Wakefield for further recovery. In his blog, Kelner noted that it would be early 2014 until he could fully "return to professional life".[2] He resumed his column in The Racing Post (at first on a semi-regular basis) and BBC Radio 5 Live later announced his return to Fighting Talk on 2 November. By mid-January he had resumed his lunchtime programme on BBC Radio Leeds.

TWP or Storm Shield
Hi all long time lurker first time poster. I'm getting ready to stain a new cedar fence and was wondering if TWP would be better than Storm Shield. I would be using the same color 116 for both. I know the TWP is Oil based and the Stormm Shiled which is made by The stame people that make TWP is arcylic. The fence is in central Arkansas and get plenty of sun exposure. The sales rep said TWP would last 2-3 years and the Strom Shield would last 3-4 years. What would you pick between the two?
Thanks for the Reply Mr Hyatt,
I have seen just about all your posts on it and was wondering what you would personally use on your cedar fence? Cost is about 25 bucks different for 5 gallon can between the two, with the strom shiled being higer. No green laws here to worry about. What do you think will hold up best? I will clean and re-apply every three years or sooner too. I have a suspion the more coats thatgets applied over the years the less maintance it will be.
I really cant say if one is better than the other. My local twp Folks belive the storm shield out proformes the 100 series. You can put one over the other without any prep.Both products are build coat finish.
Just because of the fast set up I still use the 100 series but in some weather conditions the SS would be a life saver. There is a slight color differance between the two rustics. J.

There are good agents, like Elite Beat Agents and bad agents, like Agent Smith.
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
Games that are depicted with a predominantly black-and-white appearance, with sequences to this effect, or optional color filters.
Law makers and fat cats who will sell the population down the river just to gain more power and money.
The act of a noble, just, or otherwise good or heroic figure becoming evil through either external manipulation or an internal shift in beliefs or desires.

Crooked Cops work both sides of the law for their own benefit.
Cyberpunk is an aesthetic choice that is employed in many different media, it focuses on technology and how that technology encroaches on our natural, daily lives.
One or more events from someone's past that negatively affected them. Plenty of video game characters have such pasts.
Darkness is used in games to restrict access, increase tension, or just to set a mood. Often the player has access to a light source that can mitigate its effect.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Someone who investigates unsolved crimes and other mysterious happenings, either for a living, as a hobby, or simply by chance.
Duality discusses the conflict between two opposite forces and their struggle. Those two forces may also complement each other or are the two sides of a scale and must be balanced.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.

A particularly faithful female assistant, especially in noir stories. They typically tag along with the protagonist and aid them as needed, while occasionally serving up some sass to keep their bosses in check.
A gang isn't just two crude dudes, it's a whole mess of them. There's all kinds of different gangs represented in games: street gangs, organized criminals, and even high school cliques.
The smoke that rises out the barrel of a gun.
Characters who speak with an Italian flavoured accent, usually second generation immigrants.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.
Murder is the act of ending the life of another living thing against its will without the sanction of a higher governmental authority, such as the casualties that result from acts of war. It is generally intentional, at least in a legal meaning, but not necessarily.
A narrative that takes an unexpected turn. Commonly, plot twists come in the form of revealing that the player character is not actually who they thought.
Police are paid protectors who enforce the law through legal use of force. They help ensure public safety and social order. Their motto is to protect and to serve.
The police chase consists of the police chasing someone; usually by car. Sometimes the player plays as the guy getting chased and sometimes as the police.
A character who describes the characteristics of a criminal.
Psychopaths are noted for generally lacking a conscience, getting enjoyment from various forms of destruction, and an inability to learn from their mistakes.

I'd like to grow some flowers under my T5 lights. I've done orchids and looking for something different. Any ideas or success that you can tell me about? I'm open to anything - only requirement is color. I'm thinking about geraniums or maybe Gerbers but not sure. Thanks for any help.

Southern Gardening: Medallion winners include flowers
While American athletes are headed for the winner's podium at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, a flowering perennial, a vegetable and a fruit made the podium as 2014 Mississippi Medallion winners.
These are going to be some outstanding plants for our Mississippi gardens.
Who can resist plants that have 2- to 4-inch flowers with bright purple petals and dark center cones? Nobody can, which is why gardeners love coneflowers in the summer. Typically, coneflowers are large, back-row plants in perennial beds or borders. But plant breeders are developing smaller plants worthy of the front row.
