LONDON – In his last stage role, Mark Rylance thrilled audiences as a bawdy bard for modern Britain. Now he's going back to an earlier Bard in a vibrant William Shakespeare double bill.
Rylance's star turn in "Jerusalem," Jez Butterworth's raucous lament for rural England, brought him best-actor trophies at London's Olivier and New York's Tony awards.
His latest London performances are hot tickets, and not just because Rylance is one of Britain's leading Shakespearean actors. It's a chance to see him in two wildly contrasting roles – the scheming usurper dispatching everyone who stands between him and the throne in "Richard III," and the aloof countess Olivia, blindsided by love, in the boisterous comedy "Twelfth Night."
Directed by Tim Carroll, the plays were staged this summer at Shakespeare's Globe, a replica of the open-air playhouse founded by the playwright and his acting troupe in 1599. They are "original practices" productions that try to remain faithful to 400-year-old staging techniques – an approach championed by Rylance when he was the Globe's artistic director between 1995 and 2005.
Story continues below
Now the plays have moved indoors, to a traditional West End theatre, without compromising on the quest for Elizabethan authenticity.
The sets recreate a paneled, candlelit hall like those where Shakespeare's plays were performed during winter months. The doublets and dresses worn by the cast are made from hand-stitched linen, wool and silk, while the music is played live on lutes, tabors and other period instruments. And actresses are absent – all the roles are played by men, as in Shakespeare's time.
There's an argument against such productions – there aren't enough good classical roles for women at the best of times. But this double bill demonstrates that the slight alienation created by an all-male cast can enrich the theatregoing experience.
It takes a few minutes – but only a few – before the male actors disappear into the female characters, and before the 21st century theatregoer adjusts to some unaccustomed elements: the house lights remain partially up throughout the performance, and special effects are rudimentary.
The result is an open acknowledgment of the plays' artificiality that becomes exciting when combined with a clear and thoughtful delivery of Shakespeare's lines and energized by Rylance's powerhouse performances.
His Richard is more of a clown, more ingratiating and more uncertain than in many interpretations – a far cry from Kevin Spacey's menacing media manipulator in a recent Old Vic production. Wheedling and mugging, he invites the other characters, and the audience, to laugh at and underestimate him.
It's an approach that brings out the dark humour in a play not renowned for laughs, but Rylance keeps his comic flair – just – in check. There is a touch of ham here, but it is of a finely spiced, top-quality variety.
Rylance is supported and balanced by a cast that includes Roger Lloyd Pack as Richard's self-regarding ally Buckingham, Samuel Barnett as Richard's bereaved sister-in-law and James Garnon as his disgusted mother.
"Twelfth Night," a revival of an acclaimed 2002 Globe production, is an even bigger delight.
Rylance's Olivia, encased in a vast black gown, a snowy ruff beneath her white-painted face, is a comic masterpiece. Imperious and impetuous, she glides elegantly around the stage as if on casters before disintegrating like a broken wind-up toy in a display of comic precision balanced by emotional heart. Rylance's screech of "most wonderful!" when Olivia discovers that her beloved Cesario – in fact a woman in disguise – has a twin brother is a sublime moment.
There's plenty of heart throughout the production, notably from Johnny Flynn and Barnett as the shipwrecked and separated twins Viola and Sebastian.
And, in a play that combines romantic comedy with a celebration of the anarchic spirit of misrule, the bawdy comic parts shine. There is subtle and satisfying work from the quartet of Colin Hurley as drunken Sir Toby Belch, Lloyd Pack as foolish Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Paul Chahidi as quick-witted maidservant Maria and Peter Hamilton Dyer as witty fool Feste.
Rylance is not the only piece of star casting in this robust crowd-pleaser of a play. Actor-comedian Stephen Fry has his first stage role for more than 15 years as Olivia's steward Malvolio, whose pomposity sets him up for a fall. It's a tricky part, both villain and victim, and Fry carries it off with skill as part of an exceptional acting ensemble.
"Richard III" and "Twelfth Night" run in rep at London's Apollo Theatre until Feb. 10.

Firstly, if it is not automatically detected, you will need this step so that your Linux box can read the SD card as any other USB connected storage device.
Secondly, you will need to install the android SDK and JRE. For that, go to
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html and download a tgz for Linux
from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Thirdly, you will need to configure a graphical downloader typing android in the tools folder created in the second step above mentioned.
Fourthly, if Java is still not installed, you can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Let's take now, as an example our good old friend HTC Tattoo/Click:
is a good guide but with some inaccuracies that will take extra time to overcome, here you are some tips:
- We encountered a showstopper, and we found that we were not the only ones having the same experience
- However, after some time trying to implement the solution they propose, we realised that there was an easier way, using lateral thinking ;-)
If we cannot exit from ADB, then let's not exit and use two different ADB sessions, one using adb push to inject the required files and the other session adb shell where we reach the # prompt, i.e. we are root
Morale of the story: sometimes with the elements you have and your experience, you can solve a showstopper quicker than going deeper through confusing pages and pages of experiences from different users in IT forums.
As extra tips, try to make an application backup, as a possibility you can use http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/com.metago.astro/ASTRO-File-Manager
For some versions of android 1.6 the universal androoter app is an option to root the device
Little piece of advice, don't try both rooting possibilities simultaneously
they interfere between each other
And finally, two last hiccups
- One of the flashing files was too updated to work with an android 1.6 and we found the way forward in the following link (from the foum site of cyanogenmod themselves!)
- We were not able to find the sdcard root folder, the previous page also solves that, we need to connect the device in a non-USB mode so that the sdcard folder is mounted.
Finally, a tip from a colleague of mine, do not forget this app ;-) (thanks!)
Happy June labs!

I think I've had this song on replay almost the whole day. I have always loved f(x)'s funky and freshness. I have kind of missed them since "Hot Summer". Which is still a favorite by them. But "Electric Shock" is addictive, and will probably take the number one spot. If it's even possible they have become even fresher!
Just love the scene, the dorkyness and the feel of this video. Also adore their outfits, even if some of them are a bit awkward at first sight. They take their own style far, but not too far in my eyes. Then again, I have always loved awkwardness. Also, the sound is what's making it totally addictive.
And I just got to say that I love that Amber has some singing parts in this, not only rap parts as usual. Go Amber~!

A constant theme at JavaOne is the idea of everyone working together to make our platform of choice the best that it can be. This philosophy was perhaps best exemplified in the joint session moderated by Martijn Verburg , Bruno Souza and Heather Vancura entitled 101 Ways to Improve Java. All parties involved pushed a number of useful ideas that any motivated Java developer could engage in, from starting a local Java User Group (JUG) to supplementing the documentation for an under-serviced component in the OpenJDK. Most of the advice was pretty much on the mark, although at one moment during the session the otherwise lucid Martijn Verburg seemed to loose his mind as he provided some of the worst advice ever spoken at JavaOne. Martijn suggested that a good way to move the Java platform forward was for people to actively report the various bugs they encounter.
Bad advice from a diabolical developer
At its heart, it's good advice. After all, there's nothing wrong with reporting a bug. Bugs need to be identified before they can be fixed. The issue here is suggesting that the Hoi Polloi should be actively reporting them.
Sacha Labourey, CEO and Founder CloudBees knows what I'm talking about here. Back in his old JBoss days he saw what the support staff went through as they helped clients sort out their problems that they were confident was a bug with the vendor's software. "In 99% of support cases it is never a bug. It's always a problem in their application or their configuration that they, the client, can't figure out.�?
Of course, as Sacha points out, when you're supporting a product, it doesn't matter where the problem lies. You help your customer fix their problem, and you never mention the fact that what they originally reported as a bug was in fact a problem on their own end. Rarely is a reported bug really a bug, which is why we shouldn't be encouraging everyone with an installation of the JDK to start calling up the Oracle help desk when they don't like the way their applications behave at runtime.
Mr. Verburg really should know better. After all, Martijn is a hugely respected member and bartender over at the Big Moose Saloon on JavaRanch, and he knows the type of problems newbies run into when they start programming in Java.
Personally, I've done a batch of work in the WebSphere Portal world, and that means encountering a large number of mysterious behaviors and non-obvious features. Whenever a portlet fails to render, or a user is mysteriously given someone else's session data, there's always someone in the office that throws their arms in the air after a few minutes of troubleshooting and says "let's open a PMR on this one.�? Of course, the problem is rarely, if ever, significant enough to justify kicking off an IBM Problem Management Request (PMR), but it's always a trigger the less experienced want to pull.
And that's the problem with suggesting that people should more actively report bugs: the bugs they will end up reporting won't be bugs at all, and tracking and closing these erroneous bug reports just wastes the time that could be better put towards fixing real problems.
We forgive Martijn. We know that his heart is in the right place. But let's not encourage the populace to start actively reporting what they perceive to be bugs. Let's encourage them to post to message boards like StackOverflow or the CodeRanch. Then, when an experienced moderator, like Martijn himself, recognizes that a given issue really is a bug, he can report it with the added authority that comes with his name, reputation, and status as a CodeRanch bartender. That way we can save a load of time and effort by making sure that product development teams are tending to the things that really need fixing and not wasting time chasing red herrings.

Weekend Recap: Client work
I had an action packed weekend full of work. It included trips to my seamstress, loading and unloading the car in the pouring rain, an install that ran till 11pm and then a Sunday filled with e-decorating clients. Oh also tried convincing Jon that I need and I mean need to paint my living room….light pink. He is still not budging…
Here are some peeks into one of my latest jobs that is almost finished!
*It was really dark when we were finished so I had to use flash. Excuse the picture quality.
Lovely new Lee Industries chairs arrived with. Perfectly topped with my favorite fabric.
Window treatments went up:
Greek Memo Boards for Living Room office nook:
{ I made a set of 2, but we aren't sure where they are going yet. I had to shoot them anyway to share with you all.}
Artwork got hung:
Mirror Mirror on the wall for the entry way:
The master bedroom also got a little love:
Plus there is a little new addition that will be arriving in March so his room needed a little sprucing up as well.
We were for 10 hours and got a lot done, but we still have more to finally finish it. This project will be completed by the end of Feb. Can't wait to share daylight pictures when it's all finished up!
What were up to this weekend?

The journey toward November and the start of the basketball season will begin a little earlier than normal for Houston coach James Dickey and his staff this year.
Just like the rest of the Division I college coaches across the country, the Cougars coaches will be able to work with their players in the summer, a first for college basketball after a rule was approved by the NCAA in January.
Before this year, only strength and conditioning coaches could work with players during the summer, while head coaches and assistant coaches could not. This year and moving forward, coaches will get access to the players in the summer for up to eight hours per week (six strength and conditioning, two of basketball) for a maximum of eight weeks so long that players are enrolled in summer classes and are in good academic standing.
Dickey, who will welcome five newcomers to join the eight returning scholarship players on the roster, says he believes it will be an advantage for the newcomers, giving them a chance to get acclimated to classes, college life and the team sooner.
"Two things: One, the accessibility of your players," Dickey said. "Now not only can we work them out but we can watch them do strength and conditioning which in the past we could not do. The other thing too, is, guys are going to be working out. They were going to be playing and working out somewhere. The fact that we can do this ourselves, our coaches, I think that's a real positive. And it gives you a chance for the new guys to familiarize themselves with the terminology and get a jump start on some things that we want to do during the season."
With two Conference USA All-Freshman team selections returning in forward TaShawn Thomas and guard Joe Young, the addition of redshirt junior J.J. Richardson, who transferred from Pittsburgh and sat out last season per NCAA rules, and the return of three players who missed most or all of last season because of injury (Mikhail McLean, LeRon Barnes, Jherrod Stiggers), Dickey finds much to be excited about.
As for the newcomers, Hightower guard/forward Danuel House and Lamar Consolidated center Valentine Izundu will join the team for summer workouts when they begin next week, while HCYA forward Danrad "Chicken" Knowles and junior college guard signees Brandon Morris and Tione Womack are expected to join for the second summer session in July.
"We're just really excited about them getting here and getting them enrolled in classes," Dickey said. "This has been a real positive, getting our guys here in the summer academically. It gives them a jump start on their degree and acclimated to college life. Now to be able to put the basketball part, and I think basketball coaches have wanted this for years, we're thrilled, looking forward to it."
Dickey said it's important that the Cougars make progress in the win column this year.
"This is an important year," he said. "I know that and I really like our team, I like our approach and I think this is a great opportunity for us. I'm really excited. We need to be a lot better. We made some progress, but we need to make some progress in terms of wins."
Offseason checklist
Among the areas where Dickey is looking for improvement from his team this summer and heading into the fall are consistency and turnovers. Houston was second in the league in scoring last season but dead last in assist-to-turnover ratio. And with a young core of players, the team was very up and down as evidenced by the Cougars' 15-15 record.
"The two things that we'll encourage, we'll continue to talk to our guys about are consistency and getting better every day," Dickey said. "At times I thought we were really good and other times we weren't so good. We've got to be more consistent. We've got to be better defensively and take better care of the ball. We've got to rebound. We've got to be tougher. Those are some of the things we'll be emphasizing in our offseason.
"I want to see us valuing the basketball better. One other thing that I want to see is us communicate better as a group on the floor, have a lot more communication. Those are the things that we'll want to see improvement over that eight-week period. Plus the fact that our guys will get bigger, stronger, faster, quicker."
Looking for leadership
Another area where the team lacked last season was in leadership. Dickey said he was pleased with what he saw during individual workouts this spring. Two guys to keep an eye on in this capacity are Thomas and Young. Both will only be sophomores but played major roles last season and could become leaders sooner rather than later.
"I think this spring I was really pleased with all of our guys," Dickey said. "Leon showed some leadership, TaShawn and Joe. You have to really get up early if you're going to work harder than TaShawn and Joe do."
Frontline depth
Dickey stressed that he's looking for significant improvement from senior forward Leon Gibson, the Navarro College transfer who came off the bench last season. The staff envisions TaShawn Thomas spending more time away from the basket as the team adds depth in the frontcourt with the addition of J.J. Richardson and Valentine Izundu, but they are also hopeful that Gibson improves.
"TaShawn, we'll bring him away from the basket more," Dickey said. "The one thing that I think wore on him physically was having to defend the paint. He will at times but we have other people. We expect Leon to be a lot better and a lot more physical. Then we have big J.J. inside, Valentine coming in, so we'll have more depth across the front line."
Health update
The three players who missed most or all of last season because of injuries – forward Mikhail McLean and guard LeRon Barnes and Jherrod Stiggers – will be physically ready to participate with the team when it begins workouts next week. The only player on the roster not medically ready is sophomore point guard J.J. Thompson, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery on his left patellar tendon. Team trainer John Houston said that Thompson should be ready to go in about a month, so look for him to hit the floor in July.
Odds and ends
Dickey said that he hopes to fill the vacancy on the coaching staff left by Ulric Maligi, who's now at SMU, by July 1. The July recruiting period begins on July 11 this year (a little later than normal), so that gives Dickey a little wiggle room. No clear cut candidates have emerged to this point but Dickey's certainly receiving a lot of interest in the position.

Apart from the bugs that you have tried to patch up earlier, kwaping found another link that didn't work well in your current FF extension: Voting/Experience System. So I took the plunge and looked at how it all ticked...
I found out you were using the wrong function, you shouldn't have used decodeURI(), but unescape()!
There still is a bug in FF though, because when testing Javascript using alert(), both in the extension and from the Javascript Console command line, I found that it was partially decoding the string, and thus, what alert() showed wasn't the original string, but a partly decoded variation of it.
Anyway, unescape() fixed it, and I could just completely remove your kludge.
Get the patched version at http://users.pandora.be/bartl/monklinks/. There are two archives: the patched XPI file, and a ZIP archive containing the same files but unpacked, ready for editing, plus a little Windows batch script (just run it by doubleclicking) to wrap up the files, possibly after editing, back into a new XPI file. You need an Info-ZIP compatible command line ZIP, which comes with UnxUtils, for example.
BTW people, if you're having trouble installing the XPI file directly from the site, just save it to disk and drop it on Firefox, either on a window, or on its program icon.
Ah, another feature I added was support for plain links, which get turned into the [http://...|link text] format, taking care to remove any "[", "]" and "|" characters from the text.
Oh, and I moved its position in the popupmenu to a more appropriate place, right under the "Copy Link Location" item.
I've got a few more ideas still, like adding support for other types of PM links, such as to http://perldoc.org/, as well as copying the URL and title (or perhaps selected text) of the current page in case you rightclicked on something other than a link — thus, something like Copy URL + does. The latter seems like a big change to me, so it will be for another day. Ideally, it should still work after you submitted a POST, so, in that case, it should scan for the node id in the current page.
I left your copyright and author notices completely unaltered, I just bumped the version number from 0.3 to 0.3.1. It's still your baby.
p.s. I don't have Firefox 2 as yet, so it's not compatible with it yet. Feel free to try if it could still work, by editing install.rdf in the root dir, and bumping up the <em:maxVersion> value, and repackage.
p.p.s. I started out from the version you put up on planetscape's site. You say here it's version 0.5, though internally, everything said 0.3. Oh well.
Update Now version 0.3.2, supports more link styles: module:// and dist:// for CPAN, doc:// for perldoc.perl.org, href:// for odd links on this site, and plain http:// for anything else. It'll try to uyse the actual link text for the less normalized URLs (the latter two). And I've upped the maxVersion to 2.0, though I haven't tried it, I have the impression not much has changed in the Firefox Extension API. Here's for hoping.
Same URL for the directory listing.

Ozark Trail LED Hanging Tent Light
The LED Hanging Tent Light has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best battery-powered lanterns for 2020.
Reviewers Paid: $5.99-$6.99
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 3
Bright and light, but after 12 nights of use the light would not work again. I checked the connections and I "suspect" the switch.
- Bright
- Small
- Light
- Stopped working after 12 nights of use.
I purchased the LED Hanging tent light for my large four-person tent. For 12 nights, the light provided all the light I ever needed in my tent. After using it for 7 nights straight, I cleaned it and put it away. Two months later, I was preparing for another trip and could not get the light to come on.
I changed batteries several times and still no light. I used an electrical meter to check for conductivity; I was able to get value readings for each battery but when I tried to check the switch, NOTHING.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: Less than $10
These are the coolest little lights! When my son walked up and saw it he commented that it looked like a tiny alien ship when it's all lit up! lol
Anyways, they are a great buy for the price. I know a few people on this review had an issue with them, but I would say that is the exception rather than the average experience.
I saw them when we went camping with some friends a few weeks ago and thot they were awesome! They light up a pretty good area with nice cool blue light. Great for reading or your tent or hanging in a cloth gazebo. They go a pretty long time with the batteries that come with it, but would have a back up set just to be sure.
For the price, $6.88, they are hard to beat and you can afford to buy several!
I also noticed that they don't seem to draw the bugs into the tent or around the light when you hang it outside. I am not saying that they absolutely WONT draw bugs, just that it wasn't my experience. So that's a big plus, especially when you are trying to get in your tent and the light is on...you don't have a bunch of bugs waiting to fly it! lol
Anyways! I totally love them, easy to use and work. The on/off switch is kinda easy to turn on, so when you are traveling with it...maybe take the batteries out or one guy said he cut the plastic dome out of the packaging material and used it as a cover and taped it in place! Pretty smart, so I thought I'd pass that on too.
There are so many cool gadgets to buy in the store, but many of them aren't all they are cracked up to be when you are actually camping. This item is definitely one that you will be glad you bought. PS. They come with a hanging device and a clip for easy hanging.
Try it! You will Love it!
Kristi - The Smoky Mountain Camper
Price Paid: $6.88
We got one of these tent LED hanging lights for our pop-up camper when we are not hooked up to power. First time out of the package, they didn't work !!!!!!!! One of the wires that was suppose to be attached to the angle tin bracket that touches the battery was never hooked up. Took me 45 minutes and a pocket knife to try to pry thing apart so I could squeeze the wire in to get it to work.
DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I wouldn't waste my money or time on another one.
I bought 2 of the mini tent lights for my storm shelter last year...and never used them. I stored them without batteries and this year took both out for the current storm season and neither one will work (they actually worked last year). Looks like the leds are bad because tried new sets of batteries in both.What a ripoff-you would know they are made in China. William
Price Paid: $5.99
Great product. We used it on our last 12 night camping trip. Provided plenty of light on one set of 4 double AA batteries.
The only drawback was deciding who was going to climb out of their sleeping bag to turn it off. I would be willing to pay up to $10 more for a remote control!! No kidding!!!
Price Paid: $6.99

Floyd then responded to Ted's comments with yet more counter points.
An interesting observation:
I speak at conferences fairly often, and at some point during a talk I will ask the audience how many have used EJB. Usually, 90% put up their hand. Then I ask them, how many of you have used EJB as distributed objects, meaning, where you have a separate physical tier for your business logic and a separate tier for your presentation (servlets/jsp) tier? Usually only 15% of the 90% will put up their hand. These results have been consistent at conference I've spoken at in North America, Europe, and Japan.
What do you think of the issue?

Adventure German
A Mysterious Mission
An adventure game for advanced learners of German from Level B1. Placed in a professional environment, the players solve an exciting criminal case.
A mysterious letter from her uncle brings journalist Jayden McIntyre to Germany. Having arrived, instead of meeting her uncle she merely comes upon a trail of mysterious packages. In search of her uncle and a solution to her mysterious task, Jayden follows the packages through the world of a German company.
The app "Adventure German – A Mysterious Mission" is an exciting criminal case that can only be solved when the players learn and apply the correct vocabulary for German in professional life: submitting a job application and successfully navigating a job interview, arranging appointments, and making public presentations – Jayden - and the players along with her - has to be successful at work, because only there, on the job, will she discover the solution to her mysterious task.
Interactive dialogues and mini-games offer entertaining options for developing German language competence. In addition, German learners acquire basic information on inter-cultural communication. Instructions and assistance are available in the game in German, English and Spanish.

...isn't just for presenters. Instead, it is the perfect preparation for nearly every client meeting, negotiation and court appearance....Before your next high-stakes meeting, answer each question, first replacing "Audience" with Client, Judge or even Opposing Counsel. I suspect you'll gain answers that make asking the questions worthwhile.It's a great point for speakers in any situation or profession: The ways you prepare for a big audience and formal speech aren't, at base, any different from how you should prepare for a small-group work meeting--even one-on-one--or a formal presentation in a different setting.

People across not just the United States but also the world were horrified on Dec. 14, when 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School were murdered by a gunman with an assault rifle. Yet in the six months since the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., 362 children and teens and 4,614 adults have died in the United States from gun violence — and nothing has been done on the national level.
Much has been said — particularly by leaders of the National Rifle Association — about gun control as an issue of rights. The rights issue has been settled: Americans have a Second Amendment right to own guns. But because of the societal and economic impact of gun violence, this is an issue of not just gun rights but also health, justice and economic development.
The data tell a horrible tale: In the United States in recent years, firearm homicide was the second-leading cause of death (after motor vehicle crashes) for those ages 1 to 19. Gun violence is declining but still striking: According to a Bureau of Justice Statistics report last month, firearm-related homicides fell from 11,101 in 2011 to 18,253 in 1993. And this is the good news?
Nor is this just an urban issue: Gun violence cost the United States $174 billion in 2010, according to the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which assessed medical bills, lost productivity, insurance and more.
Action at the state level is not enough. Sensible federal legislation is necessary. Polling for the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns found that "82 percent of gun owners — including 74 percent of National Rifle Association members — support requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun." Washington Post-ABC News polling in December found that 54 percent of Americans favor stricter gun laws, with 59 percent supporting a ban on high-capacity magazines.
Thirty-three people in this country are killed by guns every day, Mayors Against Illegal Guns noted in February. Our society must make changes. As we remember the victims of the Newtown shootings, let us take action to prevent such an atrocity from ever happening again.

Salt Marsh Pottery, www.saltmarsh.com, is an American hand made ceramic pottery with hand painted wild flower imprints, baby hand and footprints in ceramic tiles. It all begins with wet clay and a vision. Salt Marsh Pottery was founded by Betsy and JP Powel in the house they built on the edge of a New England salt marsh in 1968. Now open to the public in a renovated schoolhouse in the the pristine Village of Russells Mills at 1167 Russells Mills Rd., Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Our pottery designs are inspired by the wayside wildflowers in the salt marshes, dunes,meadows, ditches and woodlands of this still mostly rural area. Large areas are under conservation protection by the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust and the Audubon Society.
This region is also a part of the Farm Coast of Southern New England and we recommend their blog, click here.

I am sure that through my faith my sins have been forgiven and I will get into Heaven. However, how can I be sure someone else will be forgiven and allowed in Heaven? Are there any good questions I can ask them to be assured of their own faith?
I would expect actually ask any questions and not try to assume anything from outward appearances. However, I am assuming that when asking the person they are answering honestly.
Also, I imagine asking these questions of someone who may have first approached me and asked how they could be assured they will get into Heaven. Perhaps someone who is first approaching Christianity or a believer who is questioning how they'll get in.

Editor's note: Get Growing, written by the La Plata County Extension Office's Master Gardener Program, appears every other week during the growing season. It features timely tips and suggestions for your garden and landscape.
By Jama Crawford
For many gardeners, an application of livestock manure to the compost pile is a rite of autumn. Manures add organic matter and nitrogen to improve soil quality and vegetable production.
But there are good reasons to be cautious about routine manure use. Heavy applications lead to salt and phosphorous buildup, and fresh manures (less than 100 days old) may contain dangerous E. coli bacteria.
A new concern has emerged. It resembles a childhood poem and begins: "This is the garden that Jack made." The final stanza goes: "This is the herbicide sprayed on the field that grew the hay eaten by the horse that dropped the manure that lay in the garden that Jack made." Now, picture Jack with a dead tomato plant.
Selective herbicides, such as the aminopyralids (brand name Milestone), clopyralids (Redeem and others) and picloram (Tordon) used for the control of broadleaf weeds in grass-hay production and pastures have the ability to survive cutting, baling, storage and feeding, as well as time spent in piles of manure and compost.
When these are applied to the garden, the herbicides may still be active and adversely affect subsequently planted broadleaf plants. Unfortunately, most of our important food crops are broadleaf plants. Symptoms of herbicide carryover damage to sensitive crops (beans, peas, tomatoes, potatoes and others) are twisting, curling and rolling of the leaves, especially the younger ones.
Manufacturers inform users of the problem on their product labels. The herbicides do not harm grass or animals that feed on them, and aged manures can be safely returned to grassy fields.
But because the chemicals can persist for extended amounts of time, hay producers should disclose their herbicide selection to livestock owners. In turn, livestock owners should disclose herbicide residues in manures given or sold to farmers and gardeners. The alternative, crop failure, is a liability risk for all.
If you cannot confirm the source of manure is free of this chemical, look for another source or improve your garden soil without any manure at all.

Hey Andy! I had a question to do with assigning the knob to the macro controls in Surge, when using Logic as the DAW. In your "Blair Synth Project" tutorial you were using Abelton. I tried my best to follow along and everything went smoothly until I got to the part where you assigned ALL of the LFO's Rates at one time to the Macro control (C-1). I tried to do this in Logic, however Im having difficulties assigning or mapping my knob to the macro control (C-1 to the Rate of all 4 LFO's). It keeps wanting to assign it to just LFO 1 or LFO 2's etc.'s Rate and not all 4 LFO's Rate at once on the Macro Control (C-1). At this point im stuck... Any suggestions? Sorry if my question is confusing or worded wrong, but I tried my best to explain my problem, plus I'm still new to all of this stuff and the Lingo...Hehe. Thanks for the help Andy! Much Appreciated!

Hey doodz
I've been meaning to figure out how to make youtube videos for the last 15 years or however long youtube has existed, and I finally did it earlier tonight!
I decided to make a quick little video demonstrating how to make a family of closely related basic synth sounds using a built-in Ableton synth called Operator.
The video is not the greatest, but I will make more, and they will get better. I promise. Once I get more comfortable with the recording process, I'll do some cooler videos. The sounds get kinda neat around a minute in.
I do believe that there are some useful sounds in there somewhere if you stop the video in the right spots so I hope you enjoy, and maybe one person will find it to be helpful or at least entertaining to see the stupid faces I pull occasionally when I'm pleased with some noise that my computer makes.
Also, I don't know if we can embed youtube videos here, but I'll investigate that matter at a later date, possibly tomorrow.

Good morning from the road! I'm at the airport, headed down to Bradenton to catch a few Pirates games. If you'll be at the ballpark Thursday, Friday or Saturday, send me a message and we can meet up.
I've been going to spring training for most of the last 15 years and I've learned a few things along the way. Hopefully they can be helpful to you if you decide to take the trip for yourself.
2. At the Game: McKechnie Field opens an hour before the game. Pirates BP will be over by that point but the other team will be hitting. The Pirates have a batting cage and bullpen down the RF line where you can see guys get some extra swings and that day's starter warm up. If you are an autograph hound, this is where you want to make camp. (Its also a good area for foul balls, so keep your head up.)

"Here is John Woestendiek at his best, sniffing along a trail to
find a fascinating story you never heard of, and writing it in a way you'll

Thank you for visiting. I'll be using this website to post information about myself, my dog Ace, our travels, and my new book, Dog, Inc.: How a Collection of Visionaries, Eccentrics and Their Pets Launched the Commercial Dog Cloning Industry, which is now available in paperback.
Ever wish you could clone your dog?
You can, for $100,000 or so. But whether you should is another question —one that's investigated and explored in Dog, Inc.: The Uncanny Inside Story of Cloning Man's Best Friend. Blending shocking investigative reporting with colorful anecdotes, Dog, Inc. takes readers behind the scenes of this emerging industry. But it isn't just a book about pets. Nor is it just a book about science. Rather it's a fascinating look at how our emotional needs are bending the reaches of science and technology, as well as a study of this uncharted territory. Are we crossing the boundary of controlling science in the name of science, in the name of love, in the name of merchandising—or a blend of all three?

About a year and half ago I commissioned a painting for a book cover. The book was not scheduled but, why not get something done early, right? Wrong.
About two weeks ago I was just two days from going to press on the jacket. By odd chance I was procrastinating...I mean, doing "important research" online and I came across a cover that was practically the exact same image on an upcoming book -- revamped slightly, the colors shifted a little...but ultimately, the same image. On a book in the same market. Releasing around the same time as ours...Soooo not good.
I spent the day trying to contact the artist, thinking that perhaps someone copied their work. As the day went on, and I looked at it a few more times, it became clear that both versions really were...well....the same and must have come from one artist.
Even though I had commissioned the piece over a year ago, I had to pull the plug on our jacket. Of course, at that point it had already been approved by the editor, publisher, and sales department, the author had it for months, it was too late to change our catalog, and I needed to scramble around to create a new cover in two days. Really, not good.
Latter that day....
By odd chance (again) I was attending an annual cocktail party for publishing art directors held at the Type Directors Club. I ran into a friend and started describing what a dreadful day I was having. I didn't name names, I just started describing the painting a bit. They stopped me in mid sentence, realizing that I was describing their cover! They weren't much happier about the situation than I was. They were in better shape, even though I had commissioned the art first, since their book is releasing two months before ours and their jacket has already been making the rounds. Still, they were livid, understanding that it could easily have happened the other way.
The next day the artist was highly apologetic (working too hard, didn't realize, etc.) and everything worked out. The second cover might be as good as the first...I've kinda lost perspective on it. The worst part of it was that, as it gets harder and harder for art directors to work with artists, two of us sat at that TDC party complaining about an illustrator rather than be excited by them.

This is What a Bad Day Looks Like

Yikes that is a bad day!
Kudos to you for taking the high road on your post, but imho that is not simply a "mistake." A mistake is using the same model, or even same color scheme, etc. The worst part is, so much of what we do is based on rep. and it takes a long time to fix an error in judgment like that. Although it's hard to do on days like this, remember some of us can still hit a deadline, answer the phone/emails in a timely manner, etc.

re: "The worst part of it was that, as it gets harder and harder for art directors to work with artists, two of us sat at that TDC party complaining about an illustrator rather than be excited by them."
Amen. I am always amazed by people who behave as though their actions don't have repercussions and AREN'T being talked about by their peers (and employers) with other potential employers too.
Wow. That's a horrible/good story. As our place in the market shrinks it's more important than ever to remember that each of us illustrators represents the notion that commissioning original art is a good idea, not a pain in the ass. Each of us represents the other, like it or not. So on behalf of those of us who work hard at maintaining good karma as well as a good product, I apologize for this artist.

I just can't image how this arist could have thought this was 'okay' - Jeff Doten
- Irene Gallo said...
I should say that this is pretty extreme. I've had a number artists have melt-downs on me, and I know that I've flaked out on projects throughout the years, but, by and large, I really do love working with illustrators.
But ya'll are right: Once an art director has had a few bad experiences than they tend to rather rely on stock images, or images that they montage together, since they will have complete control of it. It's a shame since I think they are missing out on half the fun and so many possibilities, but then I am in an industry with some give built into the system. If I worked in advertising I don't think I'd be half as forgiving.
hope it *was* a mistake.. that's a bad move to make on purpose.
why is it getting "harder" to work with artists? i figured that web and email/ftp etc. makes it easier to work on something like this. it has made a huge difference in the way i work...
That sounds bizarre! Granted there can sometimes be only so many compositions one can do for that upstanding rectangle format and make everyone happy but an exact likeness? A long time ago, I was asked once to basically *rip off* another artist's piece "because the client likes THIS alot" and, I refused on ethical grounds.(One of the many reasons I got out of advertising.) I would wonder how one artist could do the same exact thing, twice and not think about it? Generally speaking, it's good to approach each job with something totally different from what you last did. Recently, I have supplied covers to books that aren't even completed or edited. Sometimes not even written. In one case, I got a book of short stories and the author is "BIG NAME classic SF" and fortunately I'd read the story back in the day, so it was easy to make an image for it, with the only art direction being "Just do something you've wanted to do, and have fun with it" and I did a cool piece. I recently did a cover for a re-issue of a Mike Resnick book, and I wanted to do something that was A) completely a 180 from the first issue of the book in 1989, and B)have some fun and do a bit of a different style. Everyone was happy,including me and that's the best it gets
A lot of illustrators re-use parts of images they made for other clients. Nothing wrong with that. Some artists put a bird in each of their pictures. And Normann Rockwell used the same model over and over again, and people noticed that.
But this is simply unacceptable. I can't image doing a cover that is practically the same as one I did before for another client. Simply not done.
Big respect Irene for letting him correct the mistake and produce another cover. It better be good, very good. I know for sure that if it had been another AD he would have lost a client.
- Tracy Flynn Art said...
That is a bad day, and a lot of respect for you to let the guy correct the mistakes and keep the client.
A real bad day is like my friend whose sister accidently ran over and killed another of our friends mom who was trying to cross the road.
- Jack Ruttan said...
I don't know what it was like in the "golden age," apart from what I can glean from my vintage Andrew Loomis "How to be an illustrator" books, but I think that because the market was bigger, there was probably more room for a variety of approaches, and, maybe, skill levels.
These days, it's so concentrated and competitive, there's no apprenticeship (outside of what you can practice on your own, in fanzines and on the web, on such sites as "Deviantart.net,") so every working illustrator is expected to turn out perfect, highly-polished images at the highest level, in as little time as possible (illustrator mags often have little time indicators beside sample works of art. I wonder how they can manage it.)
I think even highly-regarded illustrators must sometimes feel the pinch to produce, and turning down work, even when you're squeezed, or not feeling at the top of your game is never a good idea.
Then there's an ethic of getting an image down through any means possible, and even artists I respect sometimes trace a photo when time doesn't allow more respectable means (drawing from a pose, for instance). I think this approach can go a bit too far, though the illustrator might not realise it.
There was the case of this European illustrator, a cult figure in the 1970s, who for some reason had thought he could get away with a photoshopped version of the skull from the poster of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for a book cover commission.
I, of course, support none of this activity, and am not really defending it. Just noting it as how a situation might come about.
- Jack Ruttan said...
Short version of the above:
People panic, and do stupid things.
- Irene Gallo said...
Hi Bob - Thanks for stopping by! You're right about there only be so many compositions. There has been a number of times where I've had an idea for a cover, only to see the same idea on another book. Maybe I had seen it and had forgotten about it, or maybe two people had the same idea. Happens all the time. And every publisher likes to echo the big bestsellers out there.
Jack, I agree with your summation "People panic and do stupid things." That's why I made a point of not mentioning the name of the artist when I was talking to my AD friend at the party...I was shocked to hear that they were the other publisher, I really didn't know who published the book.
As I say, this was an extreme case. People use the same models (usually themselves) all the time. Hell, it's akin to using the same actors in different movies. People reuse reference shots in different compositions. I don't even have a problem with tracing*, but that's a whole other topic that needs some careful definitions to discuss. It's all good, as long as the new work is appreciatively different.
*My favorite quote about tracing came from Tristan Elwell. "Those that can't draw, can't trace. And by that, I don't mean 'shouldn't trace'. "
Wow, I had no idea a professional would stoop to such an idea.
Maybe he was strapped for cash and took that extra commission on when he didn't really have the time.
Still, as a person hoping to someday get into this field, it's isn't very heartening to learn that stuff like this happens and that AD's might look with a jaundiced eye down the road because of things like this.
At first, sorry for our english, although we are not living in US, but here are same problems. We think an artist must handle their paintings as they would his/her own children. We remember all strokes of our paintings (even our 20 years old compositions) so we think it was a weak excuse what your artist said that he "worked too hard, didn't realized". All of our paintings are a piece from our substance, so primary we paint it for our own fun and just secondary for a publisher or an art director. We owe it to ourself to make our best, even if it is the 1000th artwork what we did. It couldn't became a daily routine, or a soulless job. It is not about the money, but it is about our loyalty for creation. Every single painting is a line of problems what you have to solve. Creating becomes meaningless if you solve these problems in same way. Artists are creative persons, and art is about creativity, so you can't skip any phase of creating for the easier way.

Irene, if I am ever indicted for robbing a bank, I want you on my jury. You are a soft touch!
- Lux said...
Irene that story is stupifying! How could the artist have done that!? You are a good soul to be so merciful. Things like this make it so much harder for the rest of us artists out there. To have a job working for people such as yourself is a privilige not some enshrined right and for the artist to flout this trust is unethical. Good on ya again for your mercy.
Obviously, this artist invoiced two companies for the same painting, got paid, sent the painting/image to two different ADs, and, unless he was Alberto Gonzales, did it knowingly. Then he got caught, lucky for both of you. If you hadn't noticed, hadn't gone to this party, figured it out, your reputation would have been compromised. Soft touch? Why would you hire him again?
Once I played wonderland, I did not know how to get strong, someone told me that you must have wonderland online Gold. He gave me some wonderland Gold, he said that I could buy wonderland Gold, but I did not have money, then I played it all my spare time. From then on, I got some wonderland money, if I did not continue to play it, I can sell cheap wonderland online Gold to anyone who want.
I knew the Metin2 gold so I always try my best to earn them more and more to make myself strong.

FC Dallas extended two streaks with a 0-0 tie vs. the Crew on Saturday afternoon before 16,708 fans in Crew Stadium.
Dallas are 3-0-7 in their past 10 road games to break the previous away record set by the Crew and the Chicago Fire.
Also, FCD (9-2-10) have seven wins and five ties in the past 12 games.
The Crew (12-5-5) came closest to getting on the scoreboard, but FCD defender Zach Loyd used a goal-line clearance to deny Guillermo Barros Schelotto in the 68th minute.
It was one of many sterling defensive plays for Dallas.
A rare misplay by goalkeeper Kevin Hartman nearly resulted in a gift goal in the 10th minute after he muffed a long free kick by Schelotto. The ball fell to the feet of Crew defender Chad Marshall in the box, but his shot attempt was blocked by Atiba Harris.
A skillful touch by forward Milton Rodriguez in the 16th minute resulted in Dallas' first chance. He threaded an early ball past three defenders to spring Brek Shea on the left. Shea cut toward the goal, but William Hesmer had the angle covered and Shea's shot went into the side netting.
Columbus could not crack the defense until Emilio Renteria's solo effort in the 39th minute. He took a pass near the right sideline and spun around Loyd. As Renteria neared the far corner he sent a heavy pass through the goal box with Jason Garey the intended target at the far post.
Fortunately for Dallas, Heath Pearce slid into the path of the ball and deflected it enough with his foot to make unmarked Garey miss the bouncing ball.
FCD had five of the nine shots in the tight first half.
Crew 'keeper William Hesmer stopped Shea in the 83rd minute for the final good chance for either side.
Dallas were without injured defender Ugo Ihemelu (concussion) and midfielder Dax McCarty (quad strain) but was otherwise healthy and rested.
In fact, coach Schellas Hyndman used the same lineup for the third match in a row.
Meanwhile, the Crew had a tough 1-0 loss Tuesday in Mexico to Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League in which they added midfielder Emmanuel Ekpo (groin) to the injury list alongside midfielder Robbie Rogers (knee) and defender Gino Padula (knee). Right back Frankie Hejduk served a suspension.
Crew midfielder Adam Moffat's yellow card for a harsh tackle means he will miss the next MLS match because of accumulated caution points. The same applies to FCD midfielder Daniel Hernandez, who received his caution in the 77th minute after tangling with Schelotto.
Dallas host Toronto FC on Sept. 4
Columbus steps away from league play Wednesday for the semifinal of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup vs. D.C. United in RFK Stadium. In a twist, the teams will also play there Sept. 4 in an MLS match.

Stephenfield Sommerfeld Mennonite Church (Stephenfield, Manitoba, Canada)
The Stephenfield Sommerfeld Mennonite congregation at Stephenfield, Manitoba began services about 1951. The first building was occupied in 1953 when it was moved from Grosweide.
Bishop John A. Friesen served in the 1980s as a non-salaried congregational leader. The congregation has been affiliated with the Sommerfeld Mennonite Church of Manitoba. The language of worship is German and English. Two ministers were elected at Stephenfield over the years -- Bernard B. Friesen (1955) and Jacob Dyck (1976).
The church was closed in 1993; it has served the Grossweide and Stephenfield congregations for almost 100 years. The building was 2 km north and 3 km west of Stephenfield.

Hospital in chaos over new booking system
Staff at one of Melbourne's largest hospital networks say a new computerised booking system has wreaked havoc over the past year, causing untold distress for vulnerable people and putting lives at risk.
Senior Austin Health employees have told Fairfax Media that the new Patient Choice Booking service at the Austin Hospital and Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre has caused scores of patients to miss crucial appointments with specialists responsible for their care.
This included seriously ill patients, such as organ transplant recipients, cancer patients and those with infectious diseases such as TB and HIV who needed to be seen at particular times to receive continuing tests, medications and other treatment.
When the system was introduced last May, hospital management cancelled about 49,000 future patient bookings with specialist doctors and sent these patients letters advising them of the cancellations and a new booking system.
Under the new regime, patients would receive a letter offering them an appointment around the time that they were previously due to come in.
When they received this letter of offer, they were told to call the hospital if they wanted to negotiate a different time. The letter, which was allegedly only written in English, said patients who needed an interpreter should call to organise one.
Unlike the old system where patients could make bookings up to two years in advance, the new system was meant to provide patients with greater flexibility and reduce the number of patients cancelling, rescheduling or not showing up.
But according to angry staff, the system has been a ''complete disaster'', with many patients either not receiving their letters or not understanding them. This has allegedly caused scores of patients to not attend their appointments or show up at the wrong time.
One hospital source said the people most likely to be lost in the system were elderly patients and those who did not speak English, because they did not understand the letters sent to them.
''Numerous patients have suffered, there is no question of that, we just hope no one has died,'' said the staff member who did not want to be named.
Another said: ''I wouldn't be surprised if someone had died''.
Leaked documents also revealed:
■ The system failed to account for some specialists' annual leave and public holidays, causing patients to show up to unstaffed clinics.
■ Confused patients waited longer than 40 minutes on the phone to get through to overwhelmed hospital staff before being hung up on.
■ The health service has received so many complaints, it stopped sending them to the patient complaints department.
■ People who have travelled to the hospitals on wrong dates are being compensated for their costs.
But Austin Health spokeswoman Taryn Sheehy said although there had been some technical issues, the allegation that patients may have been harmed was ''extraordinary and completely untrue''.
''Despite an extensive testing period, there were a number of technical issues that led to the system not performing as specified during the first few months of implementation in 2013. This disrupted some services and resulted in confusion for some patients. None of these issues compromised patient safety or delayed any urgent surgical procedures,'' she said.
''We have apologised to patients and their families for the confusion and upset that was caused. Technical issues with the software have been resolved and the system is now able to be refined as required.''
Ms Sheehy said while the system was superior to the previous one and had reduced the rate at which patients fail to attend appointments by 27 per cent this year, ''a comprehensive external review of the system and its implementation, that has involved staff and patients, is nearing completion. This will assist in determining if further enhancements are required.''

Sarah Jessica Parker's climb to fame was a long slow burn. Her flame achieved a white-hot iridescence at the turn of the century, but has since dimmed considerably. On the eve of the release of her latest film, one wonders: Which way is her career headed?
When She Had Fun
After starring on the much-loved but short-lived "Square Pegs," SJP quickly landed a small role in the 1984 classic "Footloose" and soon followed that with the lead in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," as a Catholic School girl coming of age under the strictures of her father and the nuns. The trailer is a perfect distillation of everything that made the '80s such a wretched decade. But, hey, Parker was, like the rest of us, just a victim of her era.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
She worked steadily, if without much acclaim, for the next few years, a time marked mostly by forgettable TV movies. But in 1991, she landed a small role in Steve Martin's "LA Story," as Martin's much younger love interest, a bubbly California girl who introduces him to the joys of enemas and rollerskating. It was a great performance. She breathed life into every minute she was on screen and it established her as a future star.
Sadly, her next roles were opposite Nic Cage in the limp "Honeymoon in Vegas," and Bruce Willis in "Striking Distance" in which she played a Pittsburgh police officer patrolling the city's three rivers—no, really. She rebounded nicely in 1994, however, with another spirited turn, this time opposite Johnny Depp in "Ed Wood."
'Sex' and Success
In 1998, Parker finally landed the career-making role of Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City," the insanely popular HBO series that achieved such a pitched level of popularity that America is still not yet past its bizarre cupcake infatuation. As the leader of a pack of glamorous women shopping, drinking and sleeping their way across Manhattan, Parker was the perfect surrogate for every woman who dreamed of spending just one night in a pair of Manolos skipping through the Meatpacking District chasing or being chased by hot men. She didn't have a Barbie body, she's not classically beautiful by Hollywood standards. When the show finally ended, it was reasonable to assume her film career was waiting to blow up.
While "The Family Stone" and "Failure to Launch" brought out enough "SATC" fans to gross more than $140 million combined, both were poorly received by critics, and one didn't get the sense that she was living up to the high expectations set by her TV successes. Fortunately, the inevitable "Sex and the City" movie happened, grossing $152 million, proving there was still no shortage of fans out there. But the next year saw the release of "Did You Hear About the Morgans," which was panned and took in a measly $29 million, recouping only half its budget.
The true measure of her decline in the zeitgeist came with the virulent reaction to "SATC 2." People hated this movie, even those who loved SJP.
Which brings us to "I Don't Know How She Does It," an adaptation of Allison Pearson's bestseller about a woman trying to juggle her commitments as a mother, wife and financial wiz. The early reviews have not been kind, with Lisa Schwarzbaum of EW offering the amusing, if predictable, declaration, "I don't know why she does it."
Smaller May Be Better
Parker has failed to parlay the goodwill she earned with "Sex and the City,"offering up on e underwhelming film after another, and there's no reason to think she's gonna turn that ship around with "I Don't Know How She Does It." So where does she go from here? There's been talk of a third "Sex" film, but that would be a mistake, as the previous film showed that the foursome have clearly run their course--a reboot in 15 years? Maybe, but a third installment would benefit no one.
At 46, Parker's ancient by industry standards and the number of quality lead roles for women of that age is nearly zero--especially for woman who aren't model-gorgeous. Her turn as president of fashion label Halston Heritage didn't work either, despite her bona-fide tastemaker status.
She should consider returning to smaller roles--as in "LA Story," " Ed Wood," "State and Main"--where she doesn't have to pace herself for 100 minutes, and just cut loose.

N.Y. Lawmakers Adjust Gun Law in Predawn Vote
About three hours before dawn on Friday, New York's Senate voted to amend the state's new gun law and allow retired police officers to possess large-capacity ammunition magazines.
The bill "sprang onto the chamber floor shortly before 2 a.m., and drew howls" from some Republican members who think the state's new gun law should be repealed, not amended, reports the Albany Times Union. "This is ridiculous," said one senator before the 2 .am. vote.

An accelerating wave of disruption is transforming both the traditional and digital video industry. Conventional business models are under pressure, squeezed by shifting customer expectations and competition from digital rivals. Traditional Content Providers and Aggregators will need to adopt new business models, to capture growth, protect market share and boost profits.
Companies need to take three fundamental decisions:
In this issue of Bringing TV to Life, Accenture aims to help video businesses answer these questions. It focuses on the roles of Digital Content Aggregators (DCAs) and Digital Content Providers (DCPs), and the relationship between them, outlining some of the challenges that each face. Accenture also helps to identify the capabilities and strategic options that both Aggregators and Providers need to consider, to stay ahead of disruption in the digital video market.
are a new breed of business looking to serve content across a wide array of different digital channels, including OTT and IP distribution. Sometimes DCPs will offer content directly to consumers; in other cases, they will provide it through collaboration with Digital Content Aggregators.
are digital video aggregation platforms designed to package multiple DCPs to consumers. In contrast to traditional Aggregators, DCAs focus more on providing the data and platforms, such as media distribution and targeting services, that DCPs need to engage with audiences directly.
Accenture's "Bringing TV to Life" series aims to build an understanding of the technology and business trends and market drivers that are radically reshaping the video industry. Our perspective reflects our experience with players across the ecosystem and makes use of Accenture's primary industry surveys.
