2. Article Marketing Can Extend Your Reach August 26, 2008 Most authors don't have a clue. They spend days, weeks and sometimes even months preparing an article for their website or blog, only to find it sitting weeks later with nary a read. That's a tragedy.

3. Life goes on: don't give up! August 24, 2008 It's easy to say, isn't it - 'life goes on'... I've heard similar statements all my life: "she'll be right mate..." "There's always tomorrow...!" "Ah well, that's life". When I truly think about it though, I find that statement to be both flippant and correct. Flippant because it's often thrown out in casual conversation where it's not meant to be taken seriously. For example, I've left my wallet at home when I need it... or I can't find my keys... "Ah well, life goes on". It's not a situation that is going to have any effect on me in the long term. However, the same flippant stateme... (read more) Author: Ross G

4. Cyrano De Bergerac Tickets - Experience The Interplay Of Love And Tragedy!Looking For Some Great Th August 20, 2008 It's no secret that Les Liaisons Dangereuses is one of the most powerful novels ever written. Its story is so gripping that it is one of the few novels that has been repeatedly adapted for the screen and stage, in fact even today.

The latest of these stage productions is a recent Broadway play starring Laura Linney and Ben Daniels. Cruel Games, Cruel Intentions Like many pieces, Les Liaisons Dangereuses focuses on the deceptions that pe... (read more) Author: reed tieri

5. Learn a little about marketing from August 10, 2008 The play, Death Of A Salesman, is a tragedy not only in the liberal sense of the Greeks, who thought that any play that was serious and dignified was tragic, but also because the main character of Willy Loman qualifies as a tragic figure. The stories of monarchs are stirring, but the story of the common man Willy Loman is more stirring because his problem of “having the wrong dream" is more alarming because it can happen to anyone. For a man to marry his mother such as Oedipus did is much more remote than for a common man to make the wrong career choice. Willy Loman works ha... (read more) Author: Rahul Kumar

6. Buy Property from the Bank and Pocket the Profits August 05, 2008 The daily newscasters and “talking heads” feature regular stories of the tragedy of foreclosures in America.

17. Fencing: How To Fight Safely In A Stage Production June 29, 2008 Some of the most exciting parts of theater are the scenes that include fighting. For instance, try and imagine "Hamlet" without its many battle scenes. And think of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" without the exciting fighting pirates. It doesn't matter if a play is a comedy, tragedy, drama or musical; there is always a chance for combat scenes. It is never a good idea to encourage actual combat in a production, as this would be very hazardous for the actors. This is why productions have to create a convincing appearance of combat. Generally, there is a carefully crafted set of... (read more) Author: Kyle Bachner
