Old-Time Radio Was The Theater Of Romance’s Golden Age

Posted by on Tuesday, 3 May, 2011

From 1943-1957, listeners could tune in to listen to Romance. This old time radio show had a change of format multiple times over. Love remained the central theme of the show throughout its run.

The likes of aging love stories with emotional classical music were prevalent in the early days of old-time radio such as this one. It was far from upbeat. Frank Gallop, a reputed comedian that hosted the show, even had an air of gloom in his voice. After just a year the show format was revised many times and soon enough became the Theater of Romance.

Every week from 1944 through 1946, listeners would get a fresh story of love offering a unique or different perspective on the subject. The many love stories that featured on the show were very popular that when it came to Tuesdays at 8:30, Hollywood stars would feature in these romantic love stories, and many would tune in to enjoy.

Stars of the old time radio shows included Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, Errol Flynn, and Shirley Temple. And many of these stars portrayed stories that mirrored film stories or historical fiction.

By the time of 1946 the show was not aired as often. Future broadcasts were quite sparse and not really to a fixed schedule, so episodes were broadcast sometimes months apart. Despite this, the stories themselves never faulted and so listeners remained charmed. Until 1954, the show continued to air in this sporadic manner.

The final three years saw the show air on Saturday lunchtimes, with the most popular stories brought to the surface. Romantic sagas and stories were very popular with people, and so many would tune in every week to listen to the show.

Throughout its 14-year run, Romance changed schedule at least 20 times. Keeping hold of a typical audience was perhaps the show’s greatest weakness, in part due to the frequent changes to the show. Despite this, the show continued to be successful.

While the last show seemed nothing like the original show that aired in 1943, the theme of love and relationships tied the entire series together. The show’s popularity continued throughout its run, with the shocks and surprises of the couples’ romantic stories keeping listeners entertained.

The music was also consistent throughout the run of the show. While actors and hosts changed year by year, theme songs were maintained throughout.

Even though the stories of Theater of Romance are over half a century old, they’re still an enjoyable listen. The theme of love found and love lost is one that’s so universal it reaches past the boundaries of time.


About Outlook Webmail – You Can Access Your Webmail With Outlook

Posted by on Monday, 11 April, 2011

My guess is that you are looking at this post right now because you want to Access Outlook Webmail, or because someone you know mentioned Outlook web-based email and you want to know what that’s all about.

Let’s start at the beginning. There’s a good chance that you have a Hotmail, or Gmail, or some other kind of web-based email account (a.k.a. webmail).

Having to go to numerous different programs and web sites every few hours just to check your email is sure a pain in the neck isn’t it? I understand the feeling. I have more email addresses than I can easily count, spread out across a half-dozen different services, and simply checking my mail sometimes took up hours each day!

But I’ve fixed the problem for myself. I have eliminated the headache of having to jump from website to website hoping I didn’t miss any, multiple times a day just to see if I got any email.

What’s my secret? The ability to access Outlook webmail. Keep reading to get the basic information you need to pull this off for yourself.

Microsoft designed Outlook to work with the most common email protocols. These protocols (sets of rules) control the way that programs like Outlook (an email client) interact with an email service. Because Outlook supports many different protocols, and supports connecting to many email accounts at once, you have the opportunity to access all your web-based email with Outlook.

With a little work, you can configure Outlook to work with your webmail accounts. In many cases, you will also still be able to use them using their web interfaces, if for example, you need to check mail while you are away from your regular computer. I think you will really enjoy the practicality of having access to all your email in Outlook. And I believe you will enjoy being able to work with a single familiar interface for everything, rather than the mish-mash of different tools you encounter when you interact with each account separately. All you need is current and specific instructions.

It usually only takes a few minutes to set up access to a particular webmail service in Outlook, the exact process varies from service to service, so you need to use instructions from a reliable source. You’ll find that this page is a well-known source for the latest procedures for how to set up Outlook Webmail access with quite a few of the most commonly used web-based email services.


Lacking The Cash? Consider Purchasing Used Tires

Posted by on Thursday, 5 August, 2010

At some point, your automobile is going to need one or more of its tires replaced – so, if you’re trying to watch your budget, you might want to look into getting used custom rims, instead of new ones. Many times, you can find some great deals at your local “family” tire shops, or at wrecking yards where you “pick and pull” the car parts you need, yourself.

But in looking for good used wheels, what do you need to know to make sure that you choose the right kind of tire for your vehicle, and confirm that the great price you’re getting is really a bargain? Keep reading for further information.

The main thing to remember is that a car’s wheels should always be the same size. For the rear of the car, as long as a tire is in decent condition as far as tread goes, and it’s the same size as the rest of your wheels, it should work fine for you. However, there are slightly different rules of thumb for the front wheels. Because the front tires affect the way your car handles on the road – and the wrong ones can damage your vehicle, and even cause an accident, in some cases – you want any new tires you get to also have exactly the same tread as the rest – and if possible, also be of the same brand.

In inspecting used tires, keep some important things in mind as to the condition of the tread it has left. Examine each one carefully – before you buy it – and look for dead giveaways, like multiple dry cracks in the rubber, AND if there is any rubber MISSING from around the belts. Also, make sure that no part of the steel belt is showing through. These are clues that the tire is worn out, and not safe, and is one you want to stay away from. And, if you find a wheel that has already been “patched” multiple times, this is one whose shelf-life is over.

Here is a fun way for a novice to check the tread on a used tire. You do this with an ordinary Lincoln-head penny. Insert the penny into the tread on the tire, with the president’s head facing downward. Make sure to do this in different places on the tire. If his face and head are still covered by the tread in all the places you insert it, then the odds are it’s OK to put it on your car. But, if you can see the president’s face or head at any of the insertion locations, put that tire back, and keep looking.

If you are a girl, then you probably aren’t an expert in the field of automotive. In this case, it’s a good idea to have your spouse, or boyfriend, accompany you when you’re shopping for used tires. It’s not so crucial at one of the “family run” tire shops, as they have people on staff that know about tires, and will help you with what you need.

However, things change when you go to one of those “pick and pull” places, and you are on your own as far as locating, pulling, hauling, and installing the wheels are concerned. So, by this, it’s easy to see that if you don’t know what to look for as far as “drivability” in a wheel versus “non-drivability” is concerned, you might just drive yourself into a big mess.

As you can see, there are quality used chrome rims out there that you can get at great prices – yet there are factors to remember in choosing one. You don’t have to be an automobile technician to know how to find them, you just have to learn a few basic rules before you hit the ground running. Remember, the safety of you, and that of your car, has a lot to do with the wheel and tire packages you put on it.


Cobus – Angels & Airwaves – Heaven (Drum Cover)

Posted by on Monday, 14 June, 2010

Laus Deo Semper www.facebook.com (by far most active here. fo shizzle.) www.cobuspotgieter.com (head over to the forum and tell everybody what you think of the video!) Just when you thought the debate between “Drum Cover” vs “Drum Remix” vs “Freestyle Drum Jam” couldn’t get any more complicated or redundant.. I decided to bring out a video combining most of these.. multiple times I have always seen my videos as totally free forms of expression, way disconnected from what drums might have originally been recorded or what beats have been programmed. To be perfectly honest, I think that’s what a “Drum Cover” is about, it’s FREE. If you cover a song’s drums note for note (which is a friggin ART just by itself, something that takes epic discipline.) i think it’s fair to call it a “Drum Copy”, or something of the like. Obviously you are super free to call it whatever you like, the words dont change the product anyway. But this video, which combined multiple layers of me drumming (in an almost instrusive way) is what “covering” a song is about for me. by conventional standards my rendition and interpretation of the drumming is INCREDIBLY overplayed, so much so that even Mr Mike Portnoy might nudge me in the side with an earnest “less is more” if he saw this :) but by my standards this was free, this was out-of-the box, and this was FUN. on SO many levels. and heck, that’s more than enough for me. ~ Just as a sidenote (for the audio engineers and mixer who might be wondering) NO
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Time is Money: a review of the Meeting Cost Calculator and Clock

Posted by on Friday, 23 April, 2010


Many people lament about how unproductive the traditional “business meeting” is. One or more participants feel the need to assert their opinion at great length, or simply regurgitate the same information multiple times. Most of us sit passively through these time-wasting meetings because … well … I don’t know! But now you can have the facts on your side when you want to remind people that any particular meeting is wasting time. Just Bring TIM, the “Time is Money” meeting cost calculator and clock!



Simply saunter (or swagger, if you prefer) into your next business meeting with TIM in your hand. Plop TIM down on the table, and press the plus or minus button to set the average hourly rate of all of the meeting’s attendees. Press the other plus or minus buttons to set the number of people attending the meeting. As soon as the meeting is called to order, press the big button on TIM’s side. Then sit back and watch the dollars tick past! TIM will automatically calculate how much money has been spent in terms of salary dollars for every minute the meeting lasts. Meetings can be paused — say for a potty break — by pressing the big button again. When the meeting resumes, press the big button and the clock picks up where it left off.

TIM also offers an audible and visual fifteen minute reminder, to help you make sure your meetings don’t run on too long. The audible portion is a very simple, unobtrusive beep, and the visual portion is simply a ring of light around the big button. Neither one is particularly strong, so you might actually need to be paying attention to TIM to notice them. And when you’re not in meetings, you can use TIM as a regular desk clock.

In all honesty, I don’t think bringing TIM to any meeting is going to win you any popularity contests. It might help keep your meetings shorter, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be more productive. Certainly one can hope; but TIM might just result in more shorter meetings.

TIM might be nice for freelancers or contractors who have a hard time keeping track of billable hours, especially on long conference calls. Simply start the clock running when you join the conference call, and you’ll know that you’re billing hours just for listening to everyone else ramble on!

It’s only $25 at BringTIM.com. That small investment might well save a lot of wasted salary dollars.

One lucky reader (in the U.S. only, sorry) can have their very own TIM for free! Just comment below, and I’ll pick a random winner later today!
