The reason why certain premises are recycled and re-worked time and again without so much as a twist is a pretty simple one - you don't mess with success. After all, if you put one male character in a house with a bunch of quirky females and layer it with a simple romance plot, what can possibly go wrong? To this last question, rhetorical though it may have been, Ai Yori Aoshi provides a comprehensive - if excruciatingly overlong - answer.
Predictability will always be a calling card of the harem romance, as much a part of its makeup as colorful hair, cute girls and awkward situations. However, Ai Yori Aoshi takes this a step further, practically redefining the the concept by stretching it to breaking point. Suffice to say that if you are unable to guess how things will turn out after watching just the first episode of this series, it will be because you set your sights too high and hoped for a surprise, a shock, a bombshell or any kind of diversion from the plot's unwaveringly linear course.
This alone is not enough to render the series entirely without merit. Instead, that crucial task is delegated to the many failed attempts at comedy, sentiment or anything which would have given the anime some measure of personality. Although there are a couple of rowdy characters in the mix, Ai Yori Aoshi's humour is executed with all the enthusiasm and wit of a chartered accountant with a gun pointed at his head. The only real way to tell that a scene was supposed to be funny is the occasional sweat drops which materialise on the back of characters' heads. If this show had canned laughter, I probably wouldn't be sane enough to write this.
The anime's experiments in sentimentality are equally clumsy and ill-advised. In addition to the aforementioned predictability and the tedious characters, something which I will get onto later, the show ruins most of its emotional scenes with its incessant drive to patronise the viewer by having characters voice their thoughts and feelings in a manner more suited to an infant's puppet show than what is ostensibly a series aimed at relatively mature individuals. In one scene, for example, the heroine Aoi stares wistfully at the clock, then at the empty chair opposite her, then at the full plate of food laid out in front of the empty chair. A few seconds pass before she announces, seemingly to herself "I wonder where Kaoru has got to? He should be home by now" or something equally banal but just as bleeding obvious from the circumstances.
With all of this said, I would be doing the show an injustice if I let this review pass by without divulging the fact that occasionally - very, very occasionally, mind you - Ai Yori Aoshi delivered a moment that amused me, engaged me, or otherwise got my attention. However, watching the entire series just for these sporadic flashes of averageness would be akin to sailing the Seven Seas in search of a treasure chest containing 50p and a half-eaten digestive.
Ai Yori Aoshi's animation is unadventurous, generic and ordinary, but at least it is competent. There's nothing eye-catching or memorable and - although the characters occasionally lack detail and even correct proportions when viewed from a distance - there's nothing overwhelmingly bad about it. It's colorful but not garish and the face faults, while they might not be amusing, at least aren't annoying.
In visual terms, there is one thing which sticks out like a bear in a paddling pool. As clearly evidenced by the opening animation and a scene in the first episode, Aoi has neither pubic hair nor nipples - an omission so glaring that even the most virginal contingent of this anime's demographic cannot fail to miss it. I can only assume that this is down to some censorship or certification issues, but such an assumption hardly makes things any less unsettling or bizarre.
The incidental music is just that - incidental. Although I'm sure it's preferable to having complete silence or Vanilla Ice's Greatest Hits, there's nothing memorable or extraordinary about the background tunes. The OP fares a little better, being pleasant and almost catchy, while the ED is plain and just a touch irksome, in keeping with the series as a whole.
The voicing, on the other hand, is one of the show's few positives. Although I found one or two of the voices bordering on annoying, every single one of them fit the characters so perfectly that it feels entirely unfair to lay any blame here.
If someone said to me "You know, I'm thinking of making a haremy, romancey, slice-of-lifey comedy kinda thing", the first thing I would say to them is "well, just you make sure that the characters are interesting and likeable." Dismayingly, nobody was on hand to offer Ai Yori Aoshi's creators such sage advice or, if they were, the advice was ignored and the piece of paper it was written on shredded and tossed into a fire as soon as their back was turned. To sum up, the characters are dull and fail to engage on any level, which costs the show dearly.
The male lead, Kaoru, is as faceless as most other male harem characters but I expected this. What drags the show down is that the girls are as bad, if not worse. Aoi - who would sooner clean a mansion from top to bottom in preparation for Kaoru's return than have an independent thought - is an embarrassment to her gender, and the implicit suggestion that this is the kind of girl that men would be interested in manages to insult the other half of the human race. Aoi is not alone, however. Most of the other characters are equally needy and emotionally feeble; even though several of them clearly adore the ordinary Kaoru and worship the ground on which he walks, the conflicts between them never get any more serious than a bout of face-pulling.
Only Miyabi, who has the good sense to dislike Kaoru the moment she sets eyes on him, retains some dignity and seems like an actual human being. Every other character is either on the lookout for breasts to fondle, stood next to Kaoru with their arms permanently wrapped around his waist like some kind of pathetic koala or - in Tina's case - both. It's incredibly difficult to feel sympathy for or even to like any of the protagonists, which makes the series fail on pretty much every front.
The title of the anime translates as "Bluer than Indigo", but I think a far better description would be "Beiger than Beige". The series is uninteresting, uninvolving and largely forgettable. There are many similar anime out there which are far better on every front - Love Hina being one such example. Already seen it? No matter; I'd have sooner watched it for a third time than exposed myself to this torrent of blandness and inadequacy.
great romantic anime has a some what empty storyline but great moments throughout the whole thing. fun for anyone over 14
The story itself isn't out of the ordinary......boy meets girl, falls in love and another 4 girls do the same. However, it is good the way the story develops around the two main characters. The male lead isn't an asshole nor an idiot and that makes him a likable character. The female lead is.....interesting......She doesn't know anything else besides her love for the male lead and it's kinda interesting to see how the story develops around her.
There is no tragedy to make the plot a little more complicated (except the facts concerning the past of the main male character which I won't spoil for you), so all you can expect is love-love in every episode.
The motivation of each character is explained and you get to identify with the situation of a few characters, however there are some that only do what they do because they want and that leaves you with the feeling of emptiness.
I would recommend this anime if you want a light story of love....
It's an average love story. The story is not bad but not good either. This kind of story is now common in romantic anime so I don't rate it high. But the starting is a bit different though. Their falling in love is different than most of the romantic anime but not unique. They fall in love when they were child. When they were child their family made an engagement. That's how they met first. Aoi the main female role keep her love in her heart for a long time. But a lot happend to Karou. He left his family and started to live on his own so he almost forgot everything until he met with Aoi again after 16 years later. Then a little by little he realized how much does Aoi love him.
The female main character is too emotional and cry baby. But the main male role is good enough. He is not irritating like other romantic protagonist roles. He is smart and gentle. The other characters of this anime is also good. They are a lots of fun. Specially Tina Foster and Mayu Miyuki are the two character that made this anime lively, otherwise it would be too boooring.
The animation is good enough to watch. I like the animation works. The art work is good. The character design, dress up, back ground every thing is perfect. So I rate it 7/10.
The background music is also perfect for a romantic anime. I also like the opening and ending songs.
Overall I can say that you can watch this anime if you are a romantic anime fan. I'm not into too much slow paced romantic anime. So it seems a little bit boring to me. But if you are a romantic anime fan then you may like it. I rate this anime 6.5/10.
Once again, I'm dipping my toe into the pool of harem anime and I'm still very much against the genre as most of it is just unfunny, uninspired, sophomoric and juvenile shows about what annoying girl gets to be with some generic guy and the dumb-ass antics they go through. I may come out as being cynical towards it but yet I got every reason to and I don't know about this one, as I don't feel that cynical towards this title mainly because of its story. So what is it about, you ask? Oh, did I mention that the title in English is actually called Bluer than Indigo?
Kaoru Hanabishi, a college student who lives alone, met a beautiful but bewildered girl dressed in kimono at train station. He volunteered to guide her way to the address she was looking for, which looked like in his neighborhood but turned out to be an empty lot. Not knowing what to do next, Kaoru invited the devastated girl to his apartment and asked for additional clue — a photo with two children whom Kaoru immediately identified as himself and Aoi Sakuraba, his childhood friend. It turned out that the girl in front of him is Aoi Sakuraba herself, his betrothed fiancée who came all the way to Tokyo to marry him. Her revelation was not only surprising but also reminded the deepest part of Kaoru's memory for why he left the Hanabishi family in the first place.
Well, what can I say? The romance between Aoi and Kaoru is really the heart of the show and I was really rooting for those two to get together and make it last with the drama of their families keeping them apart makes it more interesting, like a rendition of a classic love story……….
BUT………unfortunately, as the series starts strong, it limps into almost Love Hina/any harem category when the main plot is sidestepped by the additional characters of the story. I get that reason for their existence is that Kaoru can have someone as family to him considering his mother abandoned him and his family kicked him out of his home and I would be fine with that, if the characters weren't just the basic harem archetypes…but then again, it could be worse.
Also, I'm impressed with how long they kept the secret of Aoi & Kaoru being together from the tenants as some other shows would have somebody knowing about it halfway….that or some of the tenants aren't that bright.
But like I said, the only interesting characters in the show are Aoi and Kaoru and yet, there are some things that I don't like about them. For example, Aoi is about as adorable as a character can be, but she is more like an otaku's waifu dream and that's not a good thing. She's more of a fantasy self-insert character that only wants to be that guy's wife and nothing more. Kaoru is the more reserved character but not the generic passive, simpering moron you see in most harem shows although that does lead to the next problem of why so many of the girls in the show are attracted to him. First, there's the token American character Tina Foster, the very energetic and loud character whom loves animals, drinking a lot of booze, and can often play grabby hands once it comes to Taeko, the accident-prone and ditzy bespectacled girl who's only purpose in the anime is being either cosplay fetish…..oh, did I forget to mention that she has big breasts? Miyabi, Aoi's bodyguard, is the one character who at first, I thought I would hate but actually she's one of the better characters of the show….well, her and the pet ferret. Mayu, the prodigy, is the worst offender of them all as she is the most annoying character of the show, up to Love Hina levels, as she keeps going on and on about being with Kaoru and often fights with Tina, which makes her more bearable in comparison and last is Chika, Taeko's cousin, who looks up to Kaoru as an older brother, but thankfully, not in a creepy way.
The animation by J.C. Staff is very artsy in its own way. The scenery is like what most amateur painters would want to capture in their own canvas. There were a few mishaps in some parts of it, mostly the gag-based animation, but it still holds to being alright. The music is sweet and gentle as the show fits although the opening and ending themes do nothing for me other than skip through them.
The Pioneer (Geneon) / Bang Zoom dub was more of a miss than hit. Michelle Ruff as Aoi was convincing enough to enjoy it and Dave Wittenberg was listenable as Kaoru but Wendee Lee's portrayal of Tina Foster was just unbearably obnoxious and grating as she tries to sound like a drunken Texan; Karen Strassman (or Kirsty Pape) and Sue Beth Arden's performances were a bit too high with their voices and mostly irritating, coming from Strassman's performance. There is also an unrecognizable Kari Wahlgren (Kay Jensen) as Chika and honestly, I thought it was some other actress doing that voice….and I checked the VA's of this show beforehand.
FINAL VERDICT: The show does feel like another harem clone in the making if it weren't for the romantic love story angle that kept the show from being bad, but you should give the show a chance to look at before judgment.

the tips how to choose web hosting.
How To Choose Good Ecommerce Web Hosting 1. Reliability and speed of access Not only should the web host be reliable and fast, it should guarantee its uptime (the time when it is functional). Look for a minimum uptime of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low - it really should be 99.5% or higher. The host should provide some sort of refund (eg prorated refund or discount) if it falls below that figure. Note though that guarantees are often hard to enforce from your end - the host usually requires all sorts of documentation. However, without that guarantee, the web host will have little incentive to ensure that its servers are running all the time. 2. Data Transfer (Traffic/Bandwidth Data transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as "traffic" or "bandwidth") is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. Don't believe any commercial web host that advertises "unlimited bandwidth". The host has to pay for the bandwidth, and if you consume a lot of it, they will not silently bear your costs. Many high bandwidth websites have found this out the hard way when they suddenly receive an exhorbitant bill for having "exceeded" the "unlimited bandwidth". Always look for details on how much traffic the package allows. I personally always stay clear of any host that advertises "unlimited transfer", even if the exact amount is specified somewhere else (sometimes buried in their policy statements). Usually you will find that they redefine "unlimited" to be limited in some way In addition, while bandwidth provided is something you should always check, do not be unduly swayed by promises of incredibly huge amounts of bandwidth. Chances are that your website will never be able to use that amount because it will hit other limits, namely resource limits. For more details, see the article The Fine Print in Web Hosting: Resource Usage Limits. To give you a rough idea of the typical traffic requirements of a website, most new sites that are not software archives or the like use less than 3 GB of bandwidth per month. Your traffic requirements will grow over time, as your site becomes more well-known (and well-linked), so you will need to also check their policy for overages: is there a published charge per GB over the allowed bandwidth? Is the charge made according to actual usage or are you expected to pre-pay for a potential overage? It is better not to go for hosts that expect you to prepay for overages, since it is very hard to forsee when your site will exceed its bandwidth and by how much. 3. Disk space For the same reason as bandwidth, watch out also for those "unlimited disk space" schemes. Most sites need less than 10 MB of web space, so even if you are provided with a host that tempts you with 200 MB or 500 MB (or "unlimited space"), be aware that you are unlikely to use that space, so don't let the 500 MB space be too big a factor in your consideration when comparing with other web hosts. The hosting company is also aware of that, which is why they feel free to offer you that as a means of enticing you to host there. As a rough gauge, thefreecountry.com, which had about 150 pages when this article was first written, used less than 5 MB for its pages and associated files. 4. Technical support Does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (often abbreviated 24/7), all year around? Note that I will not accept a host which does not have staff working on weekends or public holidays. You will be surprised at how often things go wrong at the most inconvenient of times. Incidentally, just because a host advertises that it has 24/7 support does not necessarily mean that it really has that kind of support. Test them out by emailing at midnight and on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, etc. Check out how long they take to respond. Besides speed of responses, check to see if they are technically competent. You wouldn't want to sign up for a host that is run by a bunch of salesmen who only know how to sell and not fix problems. 5.FTP, PHP, Perl, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, MySQL, crontabs If you are paying for a site, you really should make sure you have all of these. Note that some commercial hosts do not allow you to install PHP or Perl scripts ("What is PHP and Perl?") without their approval. This is not desirable since it means that you have to wait for them before you can implement a feature on your site. ".htaccess" is needed if you are to do things like customize your error pages (pages that display when, say, a user requests for a non-existent page on your site) or to protect your site in various ways (such as to prevent bandwidth theft and hotlinking, etc). Telnet or SSH access is useful for certain things, including testing certain scripts (programs), maintaining databases, etc. MySQL is needed if you want to run a blog or a content management system. Cron is a type of program scheduler that lets you run programs at certain times of the day (eg, once a day). Check to see if these facilities are provided. 6. SSL (secure server), Shopping Cart If you are planning on doing any sort of business through your website, you might want to look out to see if the host provides these facilities. These facilities normally involve a higher priced package or additional charges. The main thing is to check to see if they are available at all before you commit to the host. You will definitely need SSL if you want to collect credit card payments on your site. 7.Email, Autoresponders, POP3, Mail Forwarding If you have your own site, you would probably want to have email addresses at your own domain, like firstname.lastname@example.com, etc. Does the host provide this with the package? Does it allow you to have a catch-all email account that causes any email address at your domain to be routed to you? Can you set an email address to automatically reply to the sender with a preset message (called an autoresponder)? Can you retrieve your mail with your email software? Can it be automatically forwarded to your current email address? 8. Control Panel This is called various names by different hosts, but essentially, they all allow you to manage different aspects of your web account yourself. Typically, and at the very minimum, it should allow you to do things like add, delete, and manage your email addresses, and change passwords for your account. I would not go for a host where I have to go through their technical support each time I want to change a password or add/delete an email account. Such chores are common maintenance chores that every webmaster performs time and time again, and it would be a great hassle if you had to wait for their technical support to make the changes for you. 9. Multiple Domain Hosting and Subdomains For those who are thinking of selling web space or having multiple domains or subdomains hosted in your account, you should look to see if they provide this, and the amount extra that they charge for this (whether it is a one-time or monthly charge, etc). 10. Server Is the type of operating system and server important? Whether you think so or not on the theoretical level, there are a few practical reasons for looking out for the type of server. In general, if you want to use things like write/use ASP programs, you have no choice but to look for a Windows server. Otherwise my preference is to sign up for accounts using the often cheaper, more stable and feature-laden Unix systems running the Apache server. In fact, if dynamically generated pages that can access databases (etc) is what you want, you can always use the more portable (and popular) PHP instead of tying yourself down to ASP. Another reason to prefer Unix-based web hosts (which include web hosts using systems like Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc) using the Apache web server is that these servers allow you to configure a lot of facilities that you typically need on your site (error pages, protecting your images, blocking email harvesters, blocking IP addresses, etc) without having to ask your web host to implement them. Knowledge about configuring Apache servers is also widely available, and can be found on thesitewizard.com's Configuring Apache and .htaccess pages as well. For those interested, you can read another discussion on the matter in the "Should You Choose a Linux or a Windows Web Hosting Package? Is There Such a Thing as a Mac Web Host?" article. 11. Price I was actually hesitant to list this, but I guess it's futile not to. However, I would caution that while price is always a factor, you should realise that you often get what you pay for, although it's not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. 12. Monthly/Quarterly/Annual Payment Plans Most web hosts allow you to select an annual payment plan that gives you a cheaper rate than if you were to pay monthly. My current personal preference is to pay monthly with all new web hosts until I'm assured of their reliability and honesty. Paying monthly allows me to switch web hosts quickly when I find that the current host does not meet my requirements: this way, I'm not tied down to a bad web host because I have prepaid for an entire year. I do this even if the new web host guarantees that they will refund the balance if I'm dissatisfied, since at the point I sign up, I have no assurance that they will honour their guarantee. Later (usually after many months or even more than a year), when I'm satisfied with the host, I often change payment plans to the discounted annual plans. 13. Resellers? Not all hosting companies own or lease their own web servers. Some of them are actually resellers for some other hosting company. The disadvantage of using a reseller is the possibility that you are dealing with people who don't know much about the system they are selling and who take longer to help you (they have to transmit your technical support request to the actual hosting company for it to be acted upon). However, this also depends on both the reseller and the underlying hosting company. It is thus wise not to rule out all resellers; there are a number of reliable and fast ones who are actually quite good and cheap. In fact, a number of resellers sell the same packages cheaper than their original hosting company. If you find out that a particular company is a reseller, you will need to investigate both the reseller and the real hosting company. 14. International If you don't stay in the USA, you have the option of hosting your site with some local provider. The advantage here is the ease of dealing with them (they are after all easily accessible by phone call or a visit), your familiarity with the local laws and easy recourse to those laws should it be necessary. It should be your choice if your target audience is local (eg a local fast food delivery service). On the other hand, hosting it in USA has the advantage of faster access for what is probably the largest number of your overseas visitors (particularly if you have an English-speaking audience). You also have a large number of hosting companies to choose from, and as a result, cheaper prices too. 15. Others' Reviews You should make it a point to check out what others have to say about the web host. Most recommended cheap/discount hosts Hosting Price Dom.

Or more specifically...where have all the elite stolen base runners gone??? The league leaders in SB just don't put up the numbers like they used to. Looking back at the 70/80s the league champ was commonly stealing ~100 bases.
I figure it has to be one of three things...
1)Vince/others from that era where just that good/fast
2)Catchers have vastly improved
3)Stat-heads (who I love) found that strategy doesn't pay off ultimately.
What is it?

"And there are times when you have to listen. When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place."
Sir Elton John
Very very good advice and also enlightenment. Elton John was also given a choice, he refused and stayed just as he is. Behind the shadows but in the game.
Lady Gaga and Miley will be soon obsolete when they find the perfect replacements. Any guesses who? Lorde, and who?
Rara Avis
Nope. Elton John when you see him off stage and in private is pretty much a living corpse that needs to be wheeled around because he can't move and can hardly talk. God knows how they prepare him for performing.
Sir France's Beercan
Edit to add: Elton John has been like that for years, a talking head. Tom Jones is the same, a vegetable rolled out to entertain the masses. God knows how they reanimate them for public appearances.

Formed in 1999 at an inaugural meeting of lawyers in the SADC Region that was held in Maputo, Mozambique, the mission of the Association is to uphold and defend the rule of law without fear or favour. At its formation, the headquarters of the Association was located in South Africa and hosted by the Law Society of South Africa. In 2003, the office relocated to Botswana and was registered in that country under the Societies Act in April of 2003.
The office moved back to South Africa in 2011 and was registered as a non profit company in terms of the South African Companies Act in July of 2012. The relocation of the office is in line with Article 22 of the Association's Constitution which states that "The Headquarters of the Association shall be in such place as the General Meeting may from time to time determine."
The resolution to relocate the office from Botswana to South Africa followed a realization by the association's membership and council that it was becoming increasingly expensive to operate the office from Botswana due to limited availability and increasing costs of facilities that are necessary for the day to day operations of the Association.

Small Demons, the new website that obsessively maps out cultural allusions found in books, has completed its most challenging project yet: David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. The cataloging is extensive, charting the book's references to hundreds of people (from Benedict Arnold to Carl Sagan to the Brady Bunch's Eve Plumb), tobacco and drugs, TV shows (Hawaii Five-O), food and drinks (the Big Mac), cars, weapons, etc. Our favorite category is "Everything Else," which features Visine, Frisbees, Depends, and Hefty Bags. What makes Small Demons addictive is that you can click on any of these items and find out what other authors have mentioned them. Click on Krazy Glue, for instance, and learn that Sue Grafton mentioned that product in E is for Evidence. Vermeer is mentioned in many books, including Peter Carey's

Right now im trying to improve and better my life.
I am just interested in friends right now. Im a real smiley and sweet person. I believe that looks dont really matter as long as you have a great personality and kind at that. I love animals and children. I have none of my own. Pretty joyful. I love to talk and ask questions. I dont like drama. I am an aspiring photographer.It takes some effort to make me mad. I have one tattoo. i Dont cheat. I dont play games, so dont waste my time. My favorite two instruments are the tamborine and the harp. I Love putting people in a happy mood. Im the type of perosn whom sacrifices their own happiness for that of others. Im very straight laced. Ido not find Smokers attractive at all (sorry but i dont need smoke in my face). If you are not clear with things im not going to even waste my time figuring out what you want to say(not to be mean). I love cosplay.I like playing badmitten. My 2 favorite football teams are The Saints and the Steelers. Sometimes im abit secretive. I do not find heavy drinking appropriate.

Tax Administration:
IRS' Abatement Process in Selected Locations
GGD-99-98: Published: Jul 2, 1999. Publicly Released: Jul 2, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5594
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO described the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) abatement process, focusing on IRS': (1) process for making abatements from initiation through final review in selected IRS locations; and (2) efforts to improve the abatement process.
GAO noted that: (1) an abatement may be initiated by a request from a taxpayer or by IRS; (2) once initiated, IRS' abatement process depends on the type, complexity, and source of the assessment being abated; (3) according to IRS officials, these factors determine the IRS work group, such as those that audit tax returns or answer taxpayer inquiries, that makes the abatement decision; (4) the work group, in combination with the type and complexity of the assessment being abated, influence the type and grade level of staff making abatement decisions, the criteria and supervisory review used to guide decisions, and the quality review done after the decisions are made; (5) IRS does not have quantitative data on details of the abatement process; (6) an abatement is just one type of adjustment that IRS can make to taxpayer accounts; (7) for example, IRS staff also adjust accounts to reflect the dates and amounts of various types of assessments and payments; (8) although it has data on the number and amount of abatements, IRS cannot extract any quantitative data about the abatement process from data on all types of adjustments; (9) determining the costs and benefits of collecting data on just the abatement process is beyond the scope of this report; (10) IRS' recent efforts to improve the abatement process have generally involved task forces that have been studying various IRS concerns, including, for example, the administration of penalties and treatment of taxpayers; (11) although the studies have not focused on abatements, they have produced some proposals that would affect the abatement process, such as the documentation required to support abatements; (12) during 1993-1994, concerns about the inventory of tax debts prompted IRS to study abatements at its 10 service centers; (13) this study identified 259 problems and referred 158 to various IRS work groups for analysis and implementation of any needed changes; and (14) IRS never formally released a final study.

Lancashire and the South Lakes' professional producing theatre including famous summertime outdoor production plus mainstream, oddball and cultural cinema screenings. The Round is our beautiful, new 240 seat theatre space and, coincidentally, the seating is in the round! Occasionally this space also forms a horseshoe configuration on 3 sides. The Rake is our 313 seat auditorium with raked stadium style seating and an end on stage. Fantastic full visibility is offered from all seats.
This space is also used for our cinema screenings. DT3 is our dedicated performance space for young people and can seat 112 on two sides and 69 if one side is used. The Dukes Gallery presents work by some of the region's top artistic talent.
It is open all day and entry is free, so pop in anytime. The Gallery space can also be hired for your small event, gathering or meeting. The Dukes Cafe Bar offers a wide range of delicious lunches, aromatic coffees and irresistable cakes and desserts.
The Dukes opened on November 18, 1971 after a year's work to convert it from St Anne's Church into Lancaster's civic theatre. The work had cost... and also included fitting out an independent cinema – unique for a producing theatre - and public spaces including a café. The Queen, as Duke of Lancaster, had given her approval for use of the name Duke's Playhouse, and the official opening was conducted by Lord Eccles, Paymaster General and Minister for the Arts. The first event at The Dukes was the screening of the film, Private Road, which was quite controversial for its time. Among the audience were the stars including Susan Penhaligon.
Live drama was to be at the heart of the new venue and it would be produced by mobile company Century Theatre who had agreed to become resident at The Dukes Playhouse. The first artistic director was Peter Oyston. The Dukes first production was Orson Welles's adaptation of Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Other plays presented during those early seasons included The Dukes first Christmas show – All the World Should be Taxed – Twelfth Night, Waiting for Godot and Arsenic and Old Lace. Lancaster City Council, which had championed the founding of the theatre and has supported it ever since, called upon locals "to show it is not the apathetic, stay-at-home backwater condemned by its critics in the past." To foster more interest in the theatre, The Duke's Playhouse Club was formed and in 1972, Peter Ustinov became its president and visited that summer.
The acclaimed actor and raconteur is just one in a long list of now famous names who have been associated with The Dukes over the past 40 years. Among the first to tread The Dukes boards was Harriet Walter who became a Dame in 2011- the first former Dukes actor to achieve this honour. She appeared in 14 productions from 1973-5. And Oscar-winning actress Gloria Grahame performed in The Dukes version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in 1980.

Marketing Beyond Acquisition
Posted by Ilana Grossman on October 6th, 2011
In my conversations with people in the startup world – from angel investors through entrepreneurs and employees with vast startup experience – I often hear about their perceptions of the marketing role as being pretty limited to acquisition. It is shocking to me how prevalent this POV is. I can't count the times I heard people saying that "product development defines the product, and marketing gets the customers". Always in this sequence.There are several factors to potentially explain this perception. First – startups are often strained for resources and people have to divide and conquer. Rarely can teams afford to play roles beyond their own, as people are already overworked with their core responsibilities. Second – timely, cost-effective customer acquisition is a matter of life-or-death to most startups. Whether you need it to actually fund your operations or to hit milestones for investors and other stakeholders, acquisition and CPA are the things that keep most marketing people awake at night.
I'd like to argue, however, that expanding marketing's role into helping define the product could save companies a lot of headache. Taking the time to identify the value propositions that are most enticing to customers, and how these translate into product features customers would actually engage with (not to mention pay for) is the heart of the marketing discipline. When this process is followed, organizations actually end up with products that cultivate users and possess a lot more viral power. In other words, the role of marketing, in addition to finding customers, is to help create a product that will barely need marketing. There's only one catch though: it takes a complete marketer to make that kind of contribution, and the skill set of a complete marketer goes way beyond, let's say, managing a PPC campaign.
Surprisingly so, some large corporations seem to have nailed this type of cross-pollination better than some startups. It's almost counter-intuitive. While in many large consumer product organizations new product development is a marketing function, in many startups marketing is still handed the product and limits itself to crafting messages and managing acquisition efforts. One hypothesis to explain this is that it's been generally accepted that growth in the startup world comes from technological innovation, not from great marketing thinking permeating an organization. I would argue that expanding the definition of the marketing role could take success rates to whole new levels.

Measuring the Immeasurable: Evaluating Startups Qualitatively
At Hyde Park Angels, we evaluate startups based on quantifiable metrics related to traction, market size, and more. But that's not all we consider. In fact, sometimes the most important factors in determining whether we should invest are qualitative. While these can vary from deal to deal, there are a few that remain the same.

Addressing the Dreaded Lifestyle Outcome
Three outcomes dominate exits of angel-funded companies:
Dead bugs – Startups that go out of business, returning less-than-invested capital to angels (usually zero).
Positive exits – Companies that liquidate with capital gains to investors, usually via a cash sale to a larger company. While IPOs are possible, they are very rare for angel-funded companies. The exits can range from simply return of
Why Does Startup Pricing Vary by Location?
Entrepreneurs seem genuinely surprised to find that investors in Peoria or Little Rock are not willing to invest in startup companies at Silicon Valley prices. After all, they just read in TechCrunch that investors funded a company similar to theirs at an $8 million pre-money valuation!
The valuation of startup companies shouldn't be impacted by location, should they? Guess again! A

US Crowdfunding in 2014
Crowdfunding is the practice of raising money for a project or venture from a large number of people utilizing an Internet website or platform. Funding from each individual can be quite small, $10 or less, although some projects have much higher minimums. Projects include films, musical recordings, new companies, products, inventions, personal causes and many others.

One thought on "Marketing Beyond Acquisition"
"…expanding marketing's role into helping define the product could save companies a lot of headache."
This process is incredibly valuable, it's like the choice of designing your dream home from ground up or remodeling an existing house.
Another way is to write a patent. My partner and I spent three weeks writing a patent, which forced us to think about every potential use for our product, then, and into the future. Three years of product development condensed into three weeks. Many ideas were absurd but a few led to breakthroughs that are so obvious in hindsight that I wonder how we could've initially overlooked them.

FRONTLINE examines the hidden story of what is really driving the Bush administration to war with Iraq. The investigation asks whether the publicly reported reasons--fear of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction or a desire to insure and protect America's access to oil--are only masking the real reason for the war. Through interviews with well-placed sources in and outside of the administration, FRONTLINE unravels a story known only to the Washington insiders.

Law and Justice in Timor-Leste: A Survey of Citizen Awareness and Attitudes Regarding Law and Justice 200807/09/2009
Rule of law in Timor-Leste remains in a state of transition. Since Timor-Leste's official declaration of independence and promulgation of the Constitution in 2002, there have been a range of notable achievements in the formal justice sector: the penal and civil codes were drafted and adopted; court actors were trained and appointed to positions as judges, prosecutors, and public defenders; and a court of appeals and four district courts were established and operationalized.
To take stock of the citizenry's perceptions of their justice system in light of developments over the last four years, The Asia Foundation conducted the second nationwide survey of Law and Justice in Timor-Leste: a Survey of Citizen Awareness and Attitudes Regarding Law and Justice in December 2008. This survey was made possible by the generous support of the Australian Agency for International Development/Justice Facility and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). A democracy assessment survey.
