The present invention relates to the field of fast-forward and fast rewind functions implemented in MPEG video delivery systems including video-servers and clients.
Technological advances in digital transmission networks, video servers, digital storage media, very large scale integration devices and digital processing of video and audio signals are converging to make the transmission and storage of digital video economical in a wide variety of applications. Because the storage and transmission of digital video signals is central to many applications, and because an uncompressed representation of a video signal requires a large amount of storage and network bandwidth, the use of digital video compression is vital to this advancing art. In this regard, several international standards for the compression of digital video signals have emerged over the past decade, with more currently under development. Of these video compression standards, the ones used most widely are the MPEG standards.
MPEG video employs three types of compressed "pictures", i.e. I, P and B types. I and P pictures are called anchor pictures. An I picture can be decoded by itself without resort to other data. A P picture requires data from a previously decompressed anchor picture to enable its decompression. A B picture requires data from both preceding and succeeding anchor pictures to allow its decompression.
MPEG compressed digital video is often stored on a video server and is delivered on demand to a client. Many interactive video servers are required to support "trick play" modes, i.e., fast-forward-play and fast-reverse-play (rewind). While watching a video, the client may request fast-forward-play or fast rewind.
Several methods are used to allow interactive video servers to perform fast-forward play and fast-rewind play. An obvious potential solution to the problem is to supply the user with I-pictures in the fast-forward mode, but this results in jerky picture quality because of uneven I-picture spacing, and because certain buffering constraints are violated. In addition, since I-pictures are large, fast-forward will result in higher data rates than in the normal play mode, if every I frame is displayed.
In order to keep the data rate constant during fast-forward play, video servers use an ancillary data stream which is constructed as follows. To obtain a fast-forward play speed of n, a new video consisting of every n'th picture of the original video, is constructed. This new video is then compressed to an I-picture only stream of MPEG video, using MPEG compression parameters (including the bitrate) identical to those used in compressing the original video.
The rewind function is provided by another ancillary stream. This stream is constructed in exactly the same manner as the ancillary stream for fast-forward play, except that every n'th picture of the original video is picked in the reverse order, starting with the last picture. The drawback of this conventional scheme is that for every fast-forward or rewind speed needed, another ancillary stream is needed. This makes the storage required for multiple speed fast-forward and rewind actions prohibitively expensive.
An economical method is needed for allowing multiple speed fast-forward and reverse play of MPEG video.
The invention supports fast-forward play and rewind at multiple speeds using a single ancillary data stream. The storage required by this data stream is approximately the same as the storage required by a single ancillary data stream used in conventional single speed fast-forward and rewind schemes. The method of the invention includes the following steps. The original video sequence is compressed to yield a normal-play bitstream. The sub-sequence of the original sequence, consisting of every n'th picture, is compressed to generate an ancillary stream. The compression for the ancillary stream is such that each picture in it is an I-picture compressed using equal numbers of bits. A client request for a fast forward scan of the sequence is responded to by selecting a subset of pictures from the ancillary stream for transmission to the client.
FIG. 1 schematically shows groups of pictures in an MPEG data stream.
FIG. 2 is a high level block diagram of a server for performing the invention.
FIG. 3 is a logic flow diagram illustrating the procedure of the invention.
As the present invention may be applied in connection with MPEG-1 formatted data and to facilitate an understanding of the invention, some pertinent aspects of the MPEG-1 video compression will be reviewed. It should be noted that the invention can be applied to other video compression schemes, such as MPEG-2, which share some of the features of the MPEG-1 standard.
An MPEG-1 system bitstream can be regarded as a layered structure which includes an MPEG-1 video bitstream and an MPEG-1 audio bitstream which are packed together with systems information and possibly other bitstreams. Within the video layer of the MPEG-1 system bitstream, the compressed data is further layered. A description of the organization of the layers will aid in understanding the invention. The layers pertain to the operation of the compression scheme as well as the composition of a compressed bitstream.
The highest layer is the Video Sequence Layer. It starts with a Sequence Header that contains control information and the parameters for the entire sequence of pictures. The next layer is subdivided into sets of consecutive pictures, known as a Group of Pictures (GOP), and starts with a GOP Header. A general illustration of this layer is shown in FIG. 1. Decoding may begin at the start of any GOP, essentially independent of any preceding GOPs. There is no limit to the number of pictures which may be in a GOP, nor do there have to be an equal number of pictures in all GOPs in a video sequence. Typically, a GOP consists of a set of pictures of half-second duration.
The third or "Picture" layer is a single picture. It begins with a picture header. All of the Sequence, GOP and Picture headers begin with byte-aligned "Start Codes" and contain information pertinent to the data contained in the corresponding layer. Within a GOP, three "types" of pictures can appear. The distinguishing feature among the picture types is the compression method used. The first type, Intramode pictures or I-pictures, are compressed independently of any other picture. Although there is no fixed upper bound on the distance between I-pictures, it is expected that they will be interspersed frequently throughout a sequence to facilitate random access and other special modes of operation.
Predictively motion-compensated pictures or P-pictures, are reconstructed from the compressed data in that picture and from the most recently reconstructed data from previously displayed I or P pictures.
Bidirectionally motion compensated pictures or B-pictures, are reconstructed from the compressed data in that picture plus the reconstructed data from a previously displayed I or P picture and the reconstructed data from I or P pictures that will be displayed in the future. Because reconstructed I or P pictures can be used to reconstruct other pictures, they are called anchor pictures.
The Picture Header starts with a 4 byte picture start code. One of the parameters specified in the Picture Header is vbv_delay. This is the amount of time a decoder will wait after receiving the final byte of the picture start code before decoding the picture. This important parameter is used to ensure that the decoder buffer does not overflow or underflow. If an incorrect vbv_delay is specified, the decoder buffer may overflow or underflow, and the video presentation will not be smooth.
For instance, in a constant bitrate operation, the buffer is filled by incoming data at a constant rate. Bits for a next picture to be decoded are removed from the buffer at regular intervals, e.g., picture by picture at a set rate. It is important that the buffer occupancy always stays between zero and full buffer capacity. However, if bits for a picture, which is compressed using a large number of bits, are deleted from the bitstream (for example, to yield the bitstream for a fast forward/rewind operation), and the next picture has a small number of bits, then the client buffer may overflow.
The frame-rate, the bit-rate, and the size of the decoder buffer are specified in the Sequence Header. U.S. Pat. No. 5,694,170, entitled "Video Compression Using Multiple Computing Agents" to Tiwari et al. and assigned to the same Assignee as this Application, describes a method of allocating bits to GOPs, and then compressing all pictures in a GOP to the allocated number of bits. In the preferred embodiment therein, the number of bits allocated to a GOP is proportional to the number of pictures in the GOP. (Since the preferred embodiment is in the context of MPEG2, the allocated bits there are proportional to the number of fields in a GOP.) In particular, if all GOPs contain equal number of pictures, then all GOPs are compressed using an equal number of bits.
Embodiment for Multiple Speed Trick Modes in MPEG-1 Video Stream
Referring to FIG. 2, a high level block diagram of a server 10 is shown which is adapted to carry out the invention. Server 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 12 which is coupled to other elements of server 10 via a bus system 14. An Input/Output (I/O) module 16 provides a picture stream to a client in response to received instructions from the client. As will become apparent, the invention is concerned with economically responding to a received fast forward or fast rewind instruction from the client.
A compressor module 18 is coupled to bus system 14 and performs an I picture compression encoding action on pictures that comprise the fast forward/rewind data stream. As will be hereafter apparent, it is vital that each compressed picture exhibits an identical number of bits in the encoded I picture state to assure that buffer overflow/underflow constraints are observed and an MPEG format is maintained. Memory 20 provides storage for compressed picture data 26, for a fast forward/rewind procedure 28 and compressed picture data 30 constituting an ancillary stream. That data, in conjunction with CPU 12 and compressor 18, implements the invention. Note, that while the data which controls the operation of the invention is indicated as being stored in memory 20, such data can also be stored on a diskette 32 or other type of removable memory device and used to control the operation of the invention.
This invention uses an ancillary bitstream 30 of compressed pictures and a lookup table 22 to achieve fast-forward/rewind play. It is assumed that each GOP in the original stream is preceded by a Sequence header. Initially (see FIG. 3), a range of fast-forward/rewind speeds is decided upon. Then a subset of the pictures of original picture stream 26 is selected as ancillary stream 30 (e.g., every n'th picture in the picture stream) which, if transmitted in their entirety, will result in a fast-forward/rewind speed that is in a midrange of the selected range of speeds (step 40). Thereafter the ancillary stream pictures are encoded as I pictures, with each picture exhibiting an identical number of bits and the pictures are stored in memory 20 as ancillary stream 30 (step 42). Look-up table 22 is updated to identify the encoded pictures (step 44). Then, when a fast forward/rewind action at a certain speed is requested (step 46), a set of compressed pictures are chosen from ancillary stream 30 which, at the constant transmission bitrate, will provide the desired fast-forward/rewind action (step 48). Importantly, the feature of each picture including an identical number of bits assures that there will be no buffer overruns or underruns at the receiver (in the MPEG transmission mode).
Suppose that fast-forward speeds in the range 3 to 27 are desired. CPU 12 causes compressor 18 to use I-only encoding to compress a sub-sequence of pictures consisting of every 9th picture of the original sequence 26 to derive ancillary stream 30. Then if it is desired to fast forward at the slowest speed (i.e., 3) each compressed picture is transmitted three times. By contrast, if the fast forward is at the fastest speed (i.e. 27), only one of every three of the compressed pictures of ancillary stream 30 is transmitted.
During the encoding of the pictures, it is ensured that:
1. all pictures use the same number of bits in the resulting bitstream,
2. all pictures are also preceded by a sequence header and a GOP header, and
3. compression parameters (including the bitrate and the frame rate) identical to those used in compressing the original stream are used.
In the following discussion of the ancillary bitstream, when "bits of a picture in the ancillary bitstream" are referred to, the bits of the preceding Sequence and GOP headers are included. Since the bitrate of the ancillary bitstream is identical to the bitrate of the original bitstream of pictures, but contains only {fraction (1/9)}th of the pictures, the storage penalty on server 10 is small, i.e., only 11 percent. If a lower bit rate can be used in trick play modes, this penalty is reduced further.
The original and the ancillary bitstreams 26 and 30 are stored in memory 20 of server 10. In addition, look-up table 22 is constructed as follows: For every 9th picture in the original sequence (assuming fast-forward/reverse speeds of 3-27), the byte offset to the start of the nearest GOP is stored. This byte offset points to the start of the sequence header preceding the GOP. Now, in order to start fast-forward play at the L'th picture in the original stream, go to the M'th picture in the ancillary stream where M=floor((L+4)/9), where "floor" is the largest integer that is less than or equal to the exact value of the expression.
If every picture in ancillary stream 30 is compressed using B bytes, then the byte offset for the M'th picture is (M*B). If r is the bitrate and f is the frame rate, then B is chosen to be r/(8*f). A method of video compression meeting these requirements is described in the above-referenced patent to Tiwari et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Starting with the bits for the M'th picture, the bits of each picture of the ancillary stream are sent to the client. This results in a 9� fast-forward play, since the original selection of pictures was one of each nine pictures. In order to obtain a 3� fast-forward play, the bits for every picture in the ancillary stream are sent three times, starting at the M'th picture in the ancillary stream. Further, the number of pictures sent per second must be identical to the frame rate of the original bitstream.
In order to obtain a 27� fast-forward play, send the bits for every third picture once, starting at the M'th picture in the ancillary stream, again maintaining the original frame rate.
Other fast-forward speeds can also be realized. For example, send the bits for every picture twice for 4.5�; or send the bits for every other picture once for 18� while maintaining the original frame rate. Since all pictures are compressed using the same number of bits, the data rate on the channel is identical to the data rate of the original stream. Moreover, since every picture in the ancillary stream is an I-picture and has an equal number of bits, and has a sequence header in front, all the bitstreams generated above are legitimate MPEG-1 video bitstreams.
For example, the vbv_delay fields are correct, and the vbv constraints are not violated in the ancillary stream. Further, when a picture of the ancillary stream is deleted from the picture buffer, an overflow cannot occur because each new picture includes an identical number of bits.
If the fast-forward play stops at the k'th picture of the ancillary stream, then normal playback is resumed from the GOP which starts closest to the (9k) 'th picture of the original bitstream. The byte offset of this GOP can be determined from lookup table 22.
Fast-reverse play can be obtained from the same ancillary file in a similar way, except that the bits for the m'th picture are followed by the bits of the (m−1)'th picture—instead of the bits of the (m+1)'th picture. Therefore, in constructing various speed fast-reverse play streams, the pictures from the ancillary stream must be read in the reverse order. (Note the order of bits within a picture is not changed.)
Also note that there may be a glitch in the stream when the original stream is switched to an ancillary stream or vice versa. The reason is that, at the transition point, the vbv_delay parameter is not correct, and therefore, decoder buffer 24 may be violated (e.g. an overflow may occur). In case the glitch is not tolerable, two additional restrictions need to be added:
1. Ensure that each GOP in the original stream starts with the same number of bits in the buffer. This implies that, if all GOPs have the same number of pictures, then each GOP is compressed using an identical number of bits.
2. Switching to and from the trick play stream should be allowed only at the GOP boundaries of the original stream.
Embodiment for Multiple Speed Trick Play Modes in MPEG-1 System Stream
A trick play scheme was described in the previous section in the context of an MPEG-1 video stream. It can be extended to an MPEG-1 system stream by adding a real-time multiplexer. The video stream is generated as described in the previous section. During normal play, it is multiplexed with a normal play audio stream; during trick mode, there is no audio and the constant system stream bitrate is maintained by multiplexing the trick mode video stream with a padding. In order to jump to the audio stream at video GOP boundaries, a table is maintained. For every GOP boundary, the table has a pointer to the corresponding place in the audio stream.
It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Help! My Partner Needs Therapy!
Help! My Partner Needs Therapy!
Help! My Partner Needs Therapy!
As a marriage counselor with a private practice in Westminster, Colorado I get a lot of calls from people looking for marriage counseling. As you can imagine, I get a lot of unique stories from people shopping around for a marriage counselor. I got one call from a woman about a year ago that I can still remember. She called and asked me if I "fix spouses". I didn't quite understand the question. It sort of sounded like a trap.
"What do you mean by do I fix spouses" I asked.
"I need someone to fix my husband because my marriage isn't working and he's not doing anything to help me feel any better in my marriage" She responded.
Still a little confused I replied. "uuhhhh, I'm sorry but I still don't think I get what you're asking. Are you asking me to fix your husband, only? Or do you want me to help fix your marriage?"
Now she sounded confused. There was a short delay before she answered "well, fixing my husband will fix my marriage won't it? So I want marriage counseling to fix my husband".
"Aaah, I think I see now. You would like marriage counseling for your husband who is the cause of your marital problems?"
"Well, I'm not sure I'll be able to help you then." I heard her sigh under her breath on the other line. "When I work with couples, I insist on working with both partners. I insist on this because marital problems are rarely because of just one of the partners. Both partners usually play a part and contribute to the difficulties. Even if one of the partners only contributes a fraction, they still contribute. So the couple is benefitted most when both partners come in to therapy".

Respond to Review of Buddha Lounge - African Kitchen
by Stevie
Review: I ate here last night. There is all vego restaurant around a 10 min walk away and it is a no brainer in my humble view which of the 2 gets my vote. The only reason I can think of between the 2 on why to go to African Kitchen is that it is open late into the evening. There are around 70 items on the menu of which around 10 are listed as vegetarian. None are listed on the menu as being vegan. I have to question why this establishment is listed on happy cow. Among the vegetarian marked items are cheese dishes. I accept all accusations of being a cycnic here when I question whether or not the restaurant proprieters are aware of the concept of vegetarian cheese. I didn't ask but if you are a lacto veggie then it may be worth you asking.
Posted by wildfang on Friday, February 22, 2013
I also don't think that a place serving so much meat or antelope's meat for that matter should be listed on happycow or happyantelope.org - the mere fact that Tallinn hasn't many choices doesn't justify supporting any place with two or three veggie meals on the menu.

(Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)Though injured Louisville guard Kevin Ware cannot climb a ladder, he will be able to cut down the nets if Louisville wins the national championship on Monday night.If the Cardinals prevail over Michigan, the NCAA plans to lower the baskets so that Ware -- who suffered a compound fracture in his right leg eight days ago -- can participate in the annual rite, according to USA Today's Rachel George."We're prepared for whatever Louisville would like to do," David Worlock, the NCAA's associate director for championships and alliances and the media coordinator for the Division I championship, told USA Today.Ware attended high school in Rockdale County, Ga., about 20 miles outside of Atlanta, where the game is being played.The rest of Ware's teammates will climb a special ladder made for the Final Four's 75th anniversary if they win.From George's report:The rest of his teammates will have a chance to cut the nets down on a commemorative ladder made by the NCAA's partner, Werner. One side of the ladders includes an engraved plate for each national championship team....The 9-foot ladder is made to accommodate net cutting. The company doesn't make any others that height. The winning team will have a plate added for their run and receive the ladder. Another will be sent to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Promoted Stories Comments

A Real JobThis sterile trap,
This corporate limbo,
Each day the same,
Data entry, data transfer,
Clicking and ticking of keys
In such great volume it sounds
Like heavy rain on the cold, cracked concrete.
This thin gray carpeted cubicle wall
Surrounds my exhibit room as I wait for lunch,
While white collars and other passers by
Look in at my simulated habitat.
Two frames, one with my wife,
The other with both of us, and the two kids
Adorn the otherwise light gray, fluorescent lit
Ten by ten square that is my territory.
I don't want to wait thirty years to retire
When I could have a job instead.

{[(Author's note for the readers: The pages are linked as "Next" and "Previous" in the comments. There is more than one section! No need to dig through my thousands of deviations to find where the pieces are!)]}
Scootaloo's Diary is a leather-bound "Forever Pages" enchanted diary with her name hoofwritten in smudged permanent ink. It is hoofwritten by what looks to be a fairly young pony. The edges of the pages are all warped as if it has been dropped in a puddle or left out in the rain. Various pages appear to have things tucked within.
Entry 1:
Auntie Raincloud said I should start writing a diary with my memories of my parents. She bought me this special notebook that has lots and lots of paper, even though it's not very big.
Mama and Papa have become very sick, she says, and I may want to see these someday, she tells me. I don't know what she means. They just seem sick from some food, it's nothing too odd, is it?
Anyway, I feel like I might give this a try. I

This item cannot be returned WOODSTOCK-3 DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC-40TH ANNIV (DVD/3 DISC/CE)-NLAGIFT SET
This director's cut of Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music, released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of that legendary concert event, has to be one of the most impressive DVD releases of 2009 or any other year--and that's even before you put the discs in your player. The box is designed to resemble a faux fringe jacket (with an iron-on patch attached), and inside are all manner of shiny bells and whistles, including a lucite paperweight with images from the event, a reprint of LIFE Magazine's original festival feature, and reproductions of various Woodstock memorabilia, right down to notes left by concertgoers ("Please meet me in front of stage. I have your insulin pills") and a three-day ticket to the event.
The movie itself now weighs in at nearly four hours long, and is presumably the way director Michael Wadleigh wanted it in the first place. The transfer is definitely an upgrade, as is the soundtrack, which was originally recorded on 8-track tape under less-than-ideal conditions. (Using modern digital technology, audio engineer Eddie Kramer, who was hunkered down in what passed for a recording booth at the Woodstock site, has painstakingly restored the soundtrack--even bringing in some of the musicians to re-play their original parts, as on Santana's "Evil Ways," one of the previously unreleased bonus performances. Considering that the event is something of a sacred cow by now, this trick may strike some as blasphemous. Then again, this is hardly the first time that a live concert recording has been sweetened, re-recorded, or otherwise enhanced. In fact, it'd be hard to find one that wasn't. And the additions would have gone largely unnoticed if we hadn't been told about them.) In the end, though, there's only so much improvement possible, and Woodstock was never about technical brilliance anyway. Nor was it mostly about the music, either. Nor was it mostly about the music, either. There are some terrific performances, from acoustic numbers by Richie Havens and Crosby, Stills & Nash to powerful electric contributions from Santana, Sly & the Family Stone, and Joe Cocker. But the truth is that Monterey Pop, which happened two years earlier, was the more exciting concert, and of the several artists who appeared on both bills (including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Who, Jefferson Airplane, and others), all of them made better music at the California festival. But Woodstock was always less a concert than an overall cultural happening, and Wadleigh and his crew, often employing an effective split-screen technique, do a superb job of corralling and conveying the remarkable atmosphere and spirit of it; you didn't have to be there to recognize that this was the zenith of the Age of Aquarius (it was also the twilight; with Altamont looming, things would never be this peaceful and idealistic again).
Of principal interest on the bonus discs will be two hours of additional musical performances, including both additional tunes by those who are in the main feature and appearances by five artists who for various reasons (ego, money, quality, time) never made it into the film at all; of the latter, Creedence Clearwater Revival is excellent, Paul Butterfield and Johnny Winter are good, Mountain is mediocre, and the Grateful Dead, with an interminable (38 minutes!) "Turn on Your Love Light," are awful. Meanwhile, "From Festival to Feature," a new, hour-long look at the making of the movie, is absorbing and minutely detailed. --Sam Graham
Product Description
1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace and music. They called it Woodstock. One year later, a landmark Oscar®-winning documentary captured the essence of the music, the electricity of the performances, and the experience of those who lived it. Newly remastered, the film features legendary performances by 17 best selling artists.

I too am looking for the original version. The director's cut did add some unseen footage and is very nice to have. But in order to make room for some of that footage they deleted some of the footage that was originally included in the 1970 release of the film.

Chen goes 7 strong, Royals top Tigers 5-2 - 0 Comments
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bruce Chen put a stop to a bad string of starts for the Kansas City Royals.
Chen picked up the Royals' beleaguered rotation with seven solid innings, pitching Kansas City past the Detroit Tigers 5-2 Sunday.
Chen (7-2), who moved into the rotation on July 12 after 19 relief appearances, limited the AL Central leaders to five hits and two runs. He earned the first victory for a Royals starter on their seven-game homestand.
"I was pounding the strike zone, mixing in all my pitches, throwing different angles," Chen said.

Treasurer announces new plan for retirees on MedicareAugust 06,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - State Treasurer Beth Pearce announced Tuesday that the Vermont State Teachers' Retirement System Board of Trustees has approved a recommendation to implement an Employer Group Waiver Plan for retirees on Medicare.
The move is expected to save the state up to $2.3 million annually in Medicare retiree prescription drug costs.
The state's unfunded liability related to long-term health costs is also estimated to be reduced by approximately $150 million, which is 18 percent of the liabilities from the last actuarial valuation.
This proposal was developed by the Treasurer's office, in partnership with the Vermont National Education Association and the Vermont Health Educational Initiative.
The plan will provide prescription drug benefits to Medicare-eligible retirees that match the current plan, but at a lower cost to the state. The cost savings come from leveraging pharmaceutical discounts and government subsidies.
Additionally, participation in the waiver plan allows the state to receive subsidies for low-income retirees.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The states highest court has upheld a jury conviction for a Lyndon man charged with...

Hey, y'all! Albany native Paula Deen is launching her own digital network.
As of Wednesday, June 11, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
SAVANNAH — Paula Deen Ventures Wednesday announced plans for the creation of the Paula Deen Network, an interactive digital experience that will allow viewers to engage and access Paula and her Southern home cooking, anytime, anywhere — on computer, smart phone or tablet. Expected to launch in September 2014, fans can sign up now to receive updates at PaulaDeen.com.
Mobile users go here to see Paul Deen's video announcement.
"Guess who's going digital, y'all! I'm so excited about my new online Network and can't wait to show everyone what we've been working on." said Deen. "We're going to have so much fun being together and cooking up some wonderful new and classic dishes. Y'all can get my recipes, tips and cooking anytime you want – this is for you. I can't wait to crank up the oven and get cooking for the people I love: my family, my friends and my fans!" said Deen.
Reader poll
Will you subscribe to the Paula Deen Network when it's up and running?
84 total votes.
The Paula Deen Network is a paid subscription-based online offering. Early registration will begin in July. Individuals who pre-register at PaulaDeen.com will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to Savannah to join the live studio audience.
A 14-day free trial period will be available to all users at the time of launch in September.
According to Paula Deen Ventures CEO Steven Nanula, "While Paula had several offers to return to broadcast television, she ultimately decided to launch the Paula Deen Network because it gives her a greater level of direct access to her millions of fans when it is convenient for them. In addition, Paula will enjoy full creative control of the shows, recipes and content, and be able to give her fans exactly what they love most about her. With 4.2 million fans on Facebook and 1.24 million followers on Twitter, it was clear to us that an interactive digital network was the way to go."
In addition to access via computer, smart phone, or tablet, Smart TV compatibility will be introduced at a future date.
A preview of the Paula Deen Network will be shared at the first Paula Deen Live! shows in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., on June 21 and 22. Tickets for the Paula Deen Live! shows, sponsored by Springer Mountain Farms chicken, are available at Ticketmaster.
According to Paula Deen Ventures investor, Najafi Companies CEO Jahm Najafi, "Paula has always been an innovator — from breaking ground with the creation of her company to being one of the pioneers of cooking shows on television. The Paula Deen Network is one more example of Paula doing things her own way and taking control of her brand to connect directly with her ardent fans."
Production for the Paula Deen Network began in mid-May at Paula's new studio in Savannah, which has been designed to closely resemble the set of her first television series, "Paula's Home Cooking." The set was built specifically to host a live studio audience and will feature a range of guests, family and friends, including appearances by Paula's sons, Jamie and Bobby Deen, and her husband, Michael Groover.
"She was always bigger than a 30-minute television show and now she has the perfect medium to share her cooking, her personality and her life with fans anytime they want to watch. Whether it's a quick delicious dinner or a family feast with games and guests, she can do it all - when and how her fans want it," said Gordon Elliott, longtime producer of her cooking shows.
Programs for the Paula Deen Network will feature both short-form and long-form content. Fans will be able to cook step-by-step with Paula as she showcases tips, recipes, ingredients, and products. In addition to the dishes Paula is known for, she will also show viewers how to make simple, healthy and budget-friendly meals for the entire family.
Shows will follow themes for every day, such as "Leftover Mondays" and "Taco Tuesdays" as well as holiday-themed content. A sample of some of the specific shows includes "20-Minute Meals," "Paula Cooking Light" and "One Dish, Three Ways."

Our volunteer, A Gebru, visited the victory gardens pilot project and stated that the the rainy season was over two months ago, in September, however, the young apple trees are doing very well. The two water collection tankers were refilled due to one heavy rainfall at the beginning of November. The clay pot irrigaiton system are also saving water as expected. Our on going activity during these dry season is to complete the ground surface water harvesting system that we started in August. Now that the the pond under construction is dry, we plan continue with construction by building inside walls and water proofing it.The pond will be sealed with concrete and cement. It will also be fenced for safety. Once th eunderground water harvesting system is completed the water need of the demosntration site will be saved. We appreciate your continued support to successfully complete our goal of training the students in victory gardens. It is reported that our activities have coincided with the Ethiopian government's aggressive support to farmers to create a household based water bank to deal with the hazard of climate change in the country.
Thank you for your continued support.
