Enjoy The Show Big Screen Tv Entertainment Centers
All the entertainment centers were more or less the same just a few years ago. This probably due to the fact that televisions had not gotten as big as they are now. That made it easy to come up with a design that could fit all of them.However, people now need to buy new furniture every time they upgrade their digital equipment because all of that has changed. In this day and age, big screen TV entertainment centers have to be specifically designed to fit the latest model of televisions.
We purchased a home theater screen a few weeks ago. However, we made the mistake of measuring the big screen TV entertainment center from our previous TV. We thought that there would be no problems because it was of a similar size and shape. Unfortunately, we were unable to fit the new TV.
We did not realize that every entertainment center for big screen TVs is different. The footprint was off in the case of our new TV. The thing will not fit in big screen TV entertainment centers because it was just a little bit too wide from the front to back.
Well, it almost did and I spent about an hour trying to find a way to negotiate the last few inches. Although the difference was only 2 or 3 inches, it could cost us another 600 dollars. We were finally forced to pay after several futile attempts.
I am really amazed at how expensive big screen TV entertainment centers have become because they are nothing but a simple cabinet. In fact, most of them are not even made out of wood anymore. Big screen TV entertainment centers should not be pricey because they are certainly not handcrafted.
Nevertheless, big screen TV entertainment centers still cost a fortune. If we had been budgeting for it, then it wouldn't have been so bad. We had already spent all the money that we wanted to spend on the television. We had not anticipated that big screen TV entertainment centers would lead to additional expenses.

Englishmen Love Their Home Entertainment Centre
Greenbee.com - the company offering financial and leisure services from the John Lewis Partnership - reveals almost a third (31 per cent) felt their home was an entertainment centre, with one in five (20 per cent) saying it was a place where they socialise and entertain friends and family. Those in East England are most likely to invite guests over for a friendly get together (28 per cent), compared to just 12 per cent of those in Wales.
However those thinking of hosting a ‘night in’ are being urged to consider their home insurance, as Greenbee.com warns that many people may well be left disappointed if they have to make a claim for accidental mishaps when entertaining at home. Just 28 out of 259 home contents products currently on offer (11 per cent) include accidental damage - such as a red wine spillage on the sofa - as standard. With approximately eight out of 10 people believed to be under-insured by around 80 per cent, and four in 10 claims on Greenbee Home insurance being for accidental damage/accidental loss ((based on claims on Greenbee Home insurance as of end January 2008.), it is vital people are aware of what level of protection they actually have.
Further analysis of the GfK Roper Reports Worldwide research has also shown that the look of the home is of the utmost importance, with 38 per cent of respondents believing it to be an expression of themselves. One in eight (13 per cent) felt their home was a ‘gallery’ where they can show off the things they’ve collected over the years. Those in East Midlands and South West are most likely to take pride in their possessions, with 19 per cent considering their home a place where they can exhibit their prized belongings, compared to just 7 per cent of those living in the South East.
However it appears that for some, the home has less sentimental value. Twenty nine per cent of respondents feel the home is simply a house, a place for sleeping and eating, rising to 39 per cent of people in their twenties. One in eight (13 per cent) feel their home is an office, a place where they do work - with those in the South East most likely to take work home (23 per cent), almost double that of their London neighbours (12 per cent), and 3 per cent of people in Wales.
It’s no surprise that people see their home as a place where they feel safe and secure and want to protect it and in turn their precious belongings, whether it be valuable and prized objects to display or important equipment necessary to do some work.
However research from Greenbee has shown that the majority of UK adults believe mishaps - such as an unfortunate party accident during an evening’s entertaining - will be covered as standard, when more often than not, this won’t be the case. It is vital therefore that people ensure the things they care about are covered by their household insurance, otherwise they may well be left disappointed in the event of a claim.”

Career's In Entertainment Production
A career as a rock star or television star is unattainable for most hopeful teens who dream of being in the spotlight. While many dream of being the next *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys sensation, this may be a little far-fetched. However, teens don’t have to give up their dream, at least not completely. Few star-struck teens actually realize how many careers are available in the entertainment production industry.
Large numbers of people are needed to put on concerts, make film movies or animate cartoons. These are the people who work behind the scenes to make great entertainment. Careers in this industry are as varied as the people that work in them. There are a few careers available that many may overlook, such as: free lance illustrator, dance choreographer, set designers, writers, or 2d animation specialists. Below are just a few of the many fields available in the entertainment production industry and a short summary of what they do.
Illustration
An illustration artist can mean many different things. In the traditional sense illustration artists draw pictures for books, magazines and other publications. They also work with computer graphics, designing web pages, doing character creation for animation studios and even making their own cartoons. They are versatile artists whose primary medium is digital graphics such as flash, photoshop and other such programs.
Dance
Dance provides more opportunities than just backup dancer for a music group. Jobs range from choreographer (the person who makes up the routines) to the person who makes the costumes and dance equipment. Since dance comes in many genres, the field is diverse. Without dancers entertainment would not have the appeal that it has now. However, without the entertainment production staff like teachers and choreographers, those dancers would not have made it very far.
TV/Movies
Television and movie stars are glamorous and popular. What most people don’t realize is that it takes the work of many people to make that actor great. Movie and Television stars are very talented, but they need people to write their scripts, shoot the film, do their makeup, build the sets, and so on. Most people who work in television work in entertainment production rather than just acting.
Books and Print Media
The most well-known job in the field of print media is an author. To bring a book to the shelves an author needs editors, publishers, layout designers, and book reviewers. The author writes the book, and then it goes through reviews, revisions, and printing. Each of these steps requires a talented professional. There are many diverse opportunities available in print media.
Music
Music production has two sides. One could work for companies that distribute music such as radio stations, online music stores or even event planners for concerts. Conversely, one could work for a music recording studio that actually produces new music. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Working on the distribution side can be rewarding for those who love to listen to music or like music trivia. Working on the production side is more suited for those people who like being on the cutting edge of music. Plenty of opportunities exist for people who don’t have musical talent but still have a passion for it.
Animation
Animation is a diverse field that employs more than just artists. Animation studios typically have writers, animators, software designers, and sound engineers. Animation is most often, distributed through the internet and TV. Studios often employ people who know how to work with these types of mass media.
In addition to the jobs listed here, many others exist that are not related to entertainment production but are still in the entertainment industry. Examples of these are accountants at a TV studio, CEO of a publishing company, IT specialists for TV stations and the list goes on. Aspiring teens don’t have to give up their dream of working in the entertainment industry when they don’t make the cut for American Idol or loose the school talent show. Working in entertainment productions is a question of desire rather than talent. If a person wants to work in entertainment production, there is a job for them whatever their interests are. They just have to be creative and then work hard.

Big Screen Tv Entertainment Centers
However, people now need to buy new furniture every time they upgrade their digital equipment because all of that has changed. In this day and age, big screen TV entertainment centers have to be specifically designed to fit the latest model of televisions.
We purchased a home theater screen a few weeks ago. However, we made the mistake of measuring the big screen TV entertainment center from our previous TV. We thought that there would be no problems because it was of a similar size and shape. Unfortunately, we were unable to fit the new TV.
We did not realize that every entertainment center for big screen TVs is different. The footprint was off in the case of our new TV. The thing will not fit in big screen TV entertainment centers because it was just a little bit too wide from the front to back.
Well, it almost did and I spent about an hour trying to find a way to negotiate the last few inches. Although the difference was only 2 or 3 inches, it could cost us another 600 dollars. We were finally forced to pay after several futile attempts.
I am really amazed at how expensive big screen TV entertainment centers have become because they are nothing but a simple cabinet. In fact, most of them are not even made out of wood anymore. Big screen TV entertainment centers should not be pricey because they are certainly not handcrafted.
Nevertheless, big screen TV entertainment centers still cost a fortune. If we had been budgeting for it, then it wouldn't have been so bad. We had already spent all the money that we wanted to spend on the television. We had not anticipated that big screen TV entertainment centers would lead to additional expenses.

The Digital Entertainment Value Chain
I frequently get inquiries from companies in the digital media industry about the implications of a particular new technology on their business. Far too often, these companies perceive the new technology as a threat and feel the need to rush out and introduce a competing product or service. This is a big mistake. True, new technologies do change the competitive dynamics between carriers, distributors, vendors, and networks in the internet entertainment marketplace, but, if a company is secure in their positioning, new technologies needn’t be a threat.
So, for the sake of efficiency, and to quell panic when new technologies emerge, it’s useful for everyone with an interest in online entertainment to understand a little bit about the digital entertainment value chain. The value chain is a subject of great interest – or should be - to companies looking to secure their strategic position in the digital media marketplace.
Six components of the online entertainment value chain
A value chain is simply a set of categories that group the players by the role they play. Within a category, companies compete; between categories, the relationships are usually synergistic. The online entertainment value chain has six major categories:
Competitor or Collaborator?
However, if you understand the high-level categories you should be able to determine who is naturally competitive or collaborative in the market. In fact, understanding the value chain will bolster your interpretive powers in surprising ways.
For example, suppose you read a press release announcing that a company in one value chain category is introducing a product in another category. This can be interpreted in one of two ways, depending on whether the announcement comes from a small or large company.
Coming from a large company, this announcement indicates that the company is probably reaching the limits of growth and declining margins in their core value category and wants room to expand or revive margins. This can be good news to investors if management is flexible enough to excel in a different category. However, it can also be an indicator that the de-focusing will be followed up the road with a back-to-basics retrenchment.
This same announcement from a small company is almost always a sign that the company has failed in its business and is scrambling to find another option before investors pull the plug. Or, it can indicate that the company simply doesn’t know where to position itself and is trying on multiple identities in the hope that a strategy will emerge.
When you understand the value chain, news becomes more illuminating and your competitive challenges become more distinct so that you can more effectively position yourself in your particular segment of the industry. If you’re having trouble determining your place in the value chain or which strategies you should be using, give me a call – I’ll be glad to talk it over with you.

Six components of the online entertainment value chain
A value chain is simply a set of categories that group the players by the role they play. Within a category, companies compete; between categories, the relationships are usually synergistic. The online entertainment value chain has six major categories:
- Content Producers organize talent and resources to create the actual entertainment. The major studios (i.e., Columbia, Universal, Warner Bros., etc.) used to be the primary content producers, but anti-trust legislation broke up their vertical integration, leading to the rise of independent production companies and small studios. (Example: Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks).
- Content Distributors focus on aggregating multiple productions and matching them with channels of distribution and marketing. Although studios used to participate more in content production, they increasingly limit themselves to financing, marketing and pure distribution. In tangible goods, distributors are usually wholesalers, working with retailers to access the end customer, but on the internet, the content distributor usually sells direct to the end user. (Example: Apple iTunes, WalMart, Amazon, Real).
- Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) comprise the Internet’s logistics companies. Just like trucking companies, or FedEX, CDNs assure a reliable transfer of the product from the distributor to the end user. (Example: Akamai and Itiva).
- Backbone Vendors are certain large telcos and specialist vendors who rent access to very high capacity optical cables, which are the roads that interconnect the various parts of the Internet, to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). However, unlike the ISPs, backbone suppliers do not provide a connection to the end user’s computer. Both ISPs and CDNs buy commodity bandwidth from backbone vendors. (Example: Level Three Communications and AT&T).
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connect the Internet to end user’s computers, usually for a fixed fee per month that varies depending on the speed of service purchased. (Example: Earthlink, cable companies, telcos).
- End Users are content consumers. In traditional value chains, the end user is a pure consumer. However, there is an increasing trend toward end users also becoming significant as content producers in social networks such as YouTube and MySpace.

Plasma Tvs And Your Home Entertainment Center
It seems as if everyone these days is showing off their expensive flashy new home entertainment centers. They’re linked wirelessly to computers, have more speakers than a Rolling Stone’s concert, and cost more than a midsize luxury sedan. They feature DVD players, DVR or Tivo, CD players, MP3 players, and anything else you can imagine. The centerpiece, though, still remains the same: the television.
Plasma TVs have recently been introduced to the market. They are extremely flat television panels which make them very easy to mount on either a wall, in a cabinet or on other specially designed furniture. Plasma TVs are known for their wonderful quality and almost all plasma TVs come already equipped with an HDTV (high definition television) tuner which will allow you to watch all the HDTV channels that have been so widely discussed lately. The quality is amazingly realistic.
As mentioned before, the plasma TV is completely flat. It much more easily manipulated than conventional CRT TVs and won’t burn out like rear projection TVs and LCD TVs. Mounting the plasma TV on the wall and adding rows of seats to a home theater will surly add a commercial theater feel to any room. Along with some of the high end sound systems available on the market today, the difference between a well equipped home theater with a quality plasma TV and a commercial theater is hard to distinguish.
If mounting the plasma TV on the wall isn’t an option, try commissioning a carpenter to create a custom made cabinet. This may be a better option as it would allow for built in compartments for cords, DVDs, VHS tapes, DVD player storage, and more. Inside the cabinet, a custom mount could be created for the plasma TV. Add to this some remote control doors on the cabinet and one could have oneself a pretty Godfather-esque setup.
In conclusion, if you wish to become the talk of the neighborhood with your brand new home theater or home entertainment center, be sure to have the finest centerpiece available with a large, high quality plasma television.

Classical Movie Nostalgia
So what really is considered a classical movie? Can we simply associate as a black and white film noir thing? Containing some of those cheesy classical music? How about big powdered wigs? Do you think of the formal nature of both the characters as well as the period get-up and attire? Is a classic movie one which garnered 10 Oscars? Or do you think a classic movie simply one which down to the perception of the viewers and individuals?
The classical movie IS truly one of the great inventions since we discovered hamburgers. The classical movie is also the one show that we had the benefit of watching when we were kids, cause at the time only three television channels were available. It was during those good old Saturday afternoons and Sundays, when my dear father wasn’t consumed by the sports programmes on show, when those classic movies from the past, movies featuring the glamour girls and the guys that inspired us boys to want to be cowboys, were made available for us to enjoy in all their splendour.
Though there is obviously a distinct difference between classical movies and classical movies with only classical period elements (music, costumes, storylines, etc.), I would like to address the delight of the classical movie of yesterday and today that does involve only a particular period of history and does, then feature only classical period elements.
I tend to associate the black and white flicks with the beauties and the beaus, the comedies with the curmudgeons, the histories with the insights into who people were back then, like us but with an added je ne sais quoi that we must find out, learn about, and finally to appreciate in as great a depth and as wide a breadth as we can, in order to do them the justice they deserve.
Say for example, my favorite classical movie of all time, Impromptu. This film basically enacts a couple of years in the lives of the characters George Sand, Franz Liszt, Freiderich Chopin, and the regal and wealthy folks who took artists in, allowing them to paint, create, compose, write, in exchange for wonderful company and fine entertainment. The film concentrates on Sand, who is bent on partnering with Chopin, her aggression equal in magnitude, as was his weakness. The costumes, the soundtrack, the dialogue, and the setting are all as breathtaking as the direction, technique, and the delivery of words and emotion. There is even a theme or two that humans from the beginning of time until today can identify with or appreciate—the love and hate, good and evil, as well as longing and belonging motifs that are as timeless as the movie itself.
Other classical movie choices I have an affinity toward are those less mainstream & popular ones. I would consider Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (though clearly POST-classical periods), Wilde, and Jefferson, for instance, as worthy of classical movie acclaim as say Amadeus, Emma, The Piano, and any number of Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson productions.
