Taking A Look At The Sydney Opera House
If you’re opera-hall-history curious, you might want to have a look at this quite interesting short video documentary on the making of the Sydney Opera House. I particularly like people’s initial responses to the building, “interesting, different.” Anyway, happened upon the video and wanted to recommend. Personally I love the way the hall looks, though I confess when I was there I was a tiny bit let down once inside, since outside it’s so fantastic — hard for anything to live up to that. That said, I’d go again. There’s just that little matter of airfare to Australia… And of course the Sydney Opera House is the source of much inspiration — witness Dame Edna, pictured above, for example.

War And Peace And Opera
On Saturday Afternoon At The Opera this week, live from The Met, it’s Prokofiev’s War And Peace. Russian conductor Valery Gergiev conducts this operatic adaptation of Tolstoy’s novel about the struggle during the Napoleonic invasion of Russia in 1812. Prokofiev created this work during the Second World War, when the Soviet Union was once again under attack. And a note to Sound Advice fans — the show is pre-empted this week to accomodate an early curtain time, but Rick Phillips drops by SATO to join host Bill Richardson with the pre-performance features. btw,if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like backstage at The Met on the opening night of an opera like this — here’s one perspective, at the Met’s blog. And finally, the cast: Natasha Rostova: Marina Poplavskaya Sonya: Ekaterina Semenchuk Mme Akhrosimova: Larisa Shevchenko Pierre Bezukhov: Kim Begley Prince Andrey Bolkonsky: Alexej Markov Napoleon: Vassily Gerello Field-Marshal Kutuzov: Samuel Ramey

Facing The Nutcracker Fear
This may be a personal peccadillo of mine, but I have to say that I’ve always found nutcrackers vaguely sinister. Or maybe it’s all down to the nut bowl that my parents had when I was a child, which had a built in nutcracker that seemed to be lying in wait to crush one’s fingers. And now that I’m coming out of the fear-of-nutcrackers closet, I might as well admit it — I’m also afraid of giant mice. All that said, I’m still looking forward to a live concert performance of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker today on Studio Sparks (12 p.m.), performed by the Kirov Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev.
SATO Reminder
Saturday Afternoon At The Opera begins an hour earlier this week, preempting Sound Advice, but Rick will make an appearance on the opera show. Today’s performance is from The Met, it’s Prokofiev’s War And Peace, with Russian conductor Valery Gergiev conducting. And for more info, please go to War And Peace And Opera.

Delivering the Right Advertisement – Sell and Tell Ad Network
Delivering the Right Advertisement – Sell and Tell Ad Network
The Problem: Delivering the Right Advertisement
Your typical ad server delivers advertisements based on pre-selected filters such as Geographical Targeting, Content Channel Matching, Keyword Matching, and/or Date Scheduling. While these filters are needed and considered a norm, advertisers want, and need, more targeting control.
<a target=”_blank”href=http://www.sellandtelladnetwork.com>http://www.sellandtelladnetwork.com</a>
http://www.sellandtelladnetwork.com
The Solution: Automated Ad Matching with inContext
What differentiates the Sell and Tell Ad Server from the simple keyword targeting methods typically found in other ad server products available today is inContext. With inContext, your publishers no longer have to manually specify relevant keywords for each page that include ads. Instead, inContext finds relevant keywords from the page content, matches those keywords to the available ads, then deliver the matching ads. Combining inContext with content channels, geographical targeting, and scheduling, your advertisers can see easily see an increased number conversions. For you, the network operator, this means a returning customer translating to increased revenue.
Simply put, inContext will automatically target relevant ads on publisher pages.
http://www.sellandtelladnetwork.com
The Result: A Healthy Return On Your Advertisers Investment
In today’s demanding on-line marketing efforts, advertising relevance has become one of the most important factors for both the advertiser and the publisher. Advertisers can experience increased traffic from interested, motivated, and highly targeted, visitors, while publishers can enjoy an increase in advertising revenue thanks to the higher click-through rate.
