who invented the cable?

John Walson was also the first cable operator to use microwave to import distant television stations, the first to use coaxial cable for improved picture quality, and the first to distribute pay television programming (HBO). Jerry J. Brooks XxPOOHxX

discussion: Cable and Other Multichannels MEDA101

	History of Cable Television History of Cable Television The 1940s and 1950s Cable television originated in the United States almost simultaneously in Arkansas, Oregon and Pennsylvania in 1948 to enhance poor reception of over-the-air television signals in mountainous or geographically remote areas. “Community antennas” were erected on mountain tops or other high points, and homes were connected to the antenna towers to receive the broadcast signals. By 1952, 70 “cable” systems served 14,000 subscribers nationwide. In the late 1950s, cable operators began to take advantage of their ability to pick up broadcast signals from hundreds of miles away. Access to these "distant signals" began to change the focus of cable’s role from one of transmitting local broadcast signals to one of providing new programming choices. The 1960s By 1962, almost 800 cable systems serving 850,000 subscribers were in business. Well-known corporate names like Westinghouse, TelePrompTer and Cox began investing in the business, complementing the efforts of early entrepreneurs like Bill Daniels, Martin Malarkey and Jack Kent Cooke. The growth of cable through the importation of distant signals was viewed as competition by local television stations. Responding to broadcast industry concerns, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) expanded its jurisdiction and placed restrictions on the ability of cable systems to import distant television signals. As a result of these restrictions, there was a “freeze” effect on the development of cable systems in major markets, lasting into the early ‘70s (see below). The 1970s In the early 1970s, the FCC continued its restrictive policies by enacting regulations that limited the ability of cable operators to offer movies, sporting events, and syndicated programming. The freeze on cable’s development lasted until 1972, when a policy of gradual cable deregulation led to, among other things, modified restrictions on the importation of distant signals. The clamp on growth had adverse financial effects, especially on access to capital. Money for cable growth and expansion all but dried up for several years. However, concerted industry efforts at the federal, state, and local levels resulted in the continued lessening of restrictions on cable throughout the decade. These changes, coupled with cable’s pioneering of satellite communications technology, led to a pronounced growth of services to consumers and a substantial increase in cable subscribers. In 1972, Charles Dolan and Gerald Levin of Sterling Manhattan Cable launched the nation’s first pay-TV network, Home Box Office (HBO). This venture led to the creation of a national satellite distribution system that used a newly approved domestic satellite transmission. Satellites changed the business dramatically, paving the way for the explosive growth of program networks. The second service to use the satellite was a local television station in Atlanta that broadcast primarily sports and classic movies. The station, owned by R.E. "Ted" Turner, was distributed by satellite to cable systems nationwide, and soon became known as the first "superstation," WTBS. By the end of the decade, growth had resumed, and nearly 16 million households were cable subscribers. The 1980s The 1984 Cable Act established a more favorable regulatory framework for the industry, stimulating investment in cable plant and programming on an unprecedented level. Deregulation provided by the 1984 Act had a strong positive effect on the rapid growth of cable services. From 1984 through 1992, the industry spent more than $15 billion on the wiring of America, and billions more on program development. This was the largest private construction project since World War II. Satellite delivery, combined with the federal government’s relaxation of cable’s restrictive regulatory structure, allowed the cable industry to become a major force in providing high quality video entertainment and information to consumers. By the end of the decade, nearly 53 million households subscribed to cable, and cable program networks had increased from 28 in 1980 to 79 by 1989. Some of this growth, however, was accompanied by rising prices for consumers, incurring growing concern among policy makers. The 1990s In 1992, Congress responded to cable price increases and other market factors with legislation that once again hampered cable growth and opened heretofore “exclusive” cable programming to other competitive distribution technologies such as “wireless cable” and the emerging direct satellite broadcast (DBS) business. In spite of the effect of the 92 Act, the number of satellite networks continued their explosive growth, based largely on the alternative idea of targeting programming to a specific "niche” audience. By the end of 1995, there were 139 cable programming services available nationwide, in addition to many regional programming networks. By the spring of 1998, the number of national cable video networks had grown to 171. By that time, the average subscriber could choose from a wide selection of quality programming, with more than 57 percent of all subscribers receiving at least 54 channels, up from 47 in 1996. And at the end of the decade, approximately 7 in 10 television households, more than 65 million, had opted to subscribe to cable. Also during the latter half of the decade, cable operating companies commenced a major upgrade of their distribution networks, investing $65 billion between 1996 and 2002 to build higher capacity hybrid networks of fiber optic and coaxial cable. These “broadband” networks can provide multichannel video, two-way voice, high-speed Internet access, and high definition and advanced digital video services all on a single wire into the home. The upgrade to broadband networks enabled cable companies to introduce high-speed Internet access to customers in the mid-90s, and competitive local telephone and digital cable services later in the decade. Enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 once again dramatically altered the regulatory and public policy landscape for telecommunications services, spurring new competition and greater choice for consumers. It also spurred major new investment, with America’s then-largest telecommunications colossus, AT&T, entering the business in 1998, though exiting four years later (see below). Almost simultaneously, Paul Allen, a founder of Microsoft, began acquiring his own stable of cable properties. And America On-Line moved on an historic merger with Time Warner and its cable properties, to form AOL Time Warner. A generally deregulatory environment for cable operating and programming companies enabled the cable industry to accelerate deployment of broadband services, allowing consumers in urban, suburban, and rural areas to entertain more choices in information, communications, and entertainment services. 2000 and Beyond Arrival of the new millennium brought with it hopes and plans for acceleration of advanced services over cable’s broadband networks. As the new millennium got under way, cable companies began pilot testing video services that could change the way people watch television. Among these: video on demand, subscription video on demand, and interactive TV. The industry was proceeding cautiously in these arenas, because the cost of upgrading customer-premise equipment for compatibility with these services was substantial and required new business models that were both expansive and expensive. In 2001, partly in response to those demands, AT&T agreed to fold its cable systems with those of Comcast Corp., creating the largest ever cable operator with more than 22 million customers. Lower cost digital set-top boxes that started to become the norm in customer homes in the mid 1990s proved effective in accommodating the launch of many of the new video services. In general, however, more expensive technology would still be required for cable to begin delivery of advances such as high definition television services, being slowly introduced by off-air broadcast stations as well as by cable networks such as HBO, Showtime, Discovery, and ESPN. By 2002, the cable landscape largely reflected the findings of a study sponsored by the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM). The study showed that roughly two of every three U.S. households had access to three cutting-edge communication tools: cable television, cellular phones and personal computers. Digital cable could be found in 18 percent of U.S. television homes, suggesting an overall digital cable penetration among cable customers in the range of 27 percent. As for data services, the research revealed that 20 percent of cable customers with PCs are using high-speed modems today. Cable operators with upgraded two-way plant have been witnessing dramatic growth in “broadband” data. Cable has quickly become the technology of choice for such services, outpacing rival technologies, such as digital subscriber line (DSL) service, offered by phone companies, by a margin of 2 to 1. Subscribership to high-speed Internet access service via cable modems had grown to more than 10 million by the end of the third quarter of 2002. As for telephone service using the cable conduit, growth was evident in all the limited market areas where such service was offered. More than 2 million customers were using cable for their phone connections by mid 2002. To accommodate accelerating demand, cable programmers are rapidly expanding their menu of digital cable offerings. By 2002, about 280 nationally-delivered cable networks were available, with that number growing steadily. At the end of 2002, the consumer electronics and cable industries reached a “plug-and-play” agreement that allowed “one-way” digital television sets to be connected directly to cable systems without the need for a set-top box. These new sets are marketed under the name Digital Cable Ready television sets (DCRs). A security device called a CableCARD is provided by cable operators to allow cable customers to view encrypted digital programming after it is authorized to do so by the cable operator. Talks to resolve issues related to “two-way” digital television sets began in 2003 and continue. The digital TV transition leapt forward in 2003, as substantial gains were made in the deployment of High-Definition Television (HDTV), Video-on-Demand (VOD), digital cable, and other advanced services. Competitive digital phone service gained momentum as cable introduced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone services. At the start of 2006, cable companies counted a total of about 5 million telephone customers, representing VoIP customers and customers for traditional circuit switched telephone service. An NCTA survey of the top 10 MSOs showed that by September 1 of 2004, 700 CableCARDs were installed. By mid-November, that number had grown to over 5,000 CableCARDs. One year later, at the end of 2005, NCTA estimated that number had reached 100,000. Results at the end of the Third Quarter of 2005 provide ample evidence of the growth potential of cable's new position as a broadband provider. Cable’s capital expenditures reached $100 billion. Cable’s high-speed Internet service ended the quarter with 24.3 million subscribers, and the number of digital cable customers had grown to 27.6 million. More on the History of Cable Television cable TV Show me everything on IPTV and Video on Demand - Cable TV is also known as "CATV" (community antenna television). In addition to bringing television programs to those millions of people throughout the world who are connected to a community antenna, cable TV will likely become a popular way to interact with the World Wide Web and other new forms of multimedia information and entertainment services.

emotional appeal sample advertisement

Paper # 4

Nido Expose Explore Experience TV Commercial: Let them grow. Let them go.

Often we see more and more advertisement. This advertisement shows different techniques and styles used as an effective tool to inform and persuade target audience -hey! we're here. Usually, see on television, on newspaper and even on the Internet.

Drama, humor, statistics, comparisons, testimonials, endorsement and emotional appeal are the styles found in advertisement that works by changing your attitudes logically or emotionally , as audience reacts for a particular advertising techniques.

In this article, I just want to site emotional appeal as the most powerful example used all over the place of marketing and advertisement. Emotional appeal is the most difficult technique to use but the most effective when used properly, as discussed in our advertisement and public relation class yesterday. I don't find it as it will convey about accuracy, because I believe the core of emotional appeal is about selling.

Then, I started to ponder and search for a good example commercial in Philippine context that will serve as one of the emotional appeal advertisement. How about the “ Nido Milk Expose, Experience Explore TV commercial: Let them grow. Let them go. In this commercial , you can see that they let kids be as kids, has new sight apart from those stereotypical commercial of kids, trying to challenge or compete mature role. Really adorable ( cute) commercial with admirable values. The said commercial has balance thought of emotion combined by its talent. It also provides a catchy copy for the recall memory of the end user. The commercial also sight a product that provides and help kids to act properly, to have a good manner indeed. There is also this scene showing funny moments but touching and realization goes like playing with your friends in a rain so wet is much worthy and fun than playing alone with your break game, psp or personal computer. It shows that children are naturally curious about their environment. Making experiences own their own as they love to try new things. Nido is much as a giver as they gave health to children to be protected to disease so they can enjoy life.

Let them grow. Let them go as the tag line of Nido Milk TV commercial tends to give best message that will always linger in our mind and in our hearts -it is through experience that we learn best. Not just listening or being able to pay attention has involvement; it is where kids render an active participation in learning process.

Before ending this I just want to add one line that touches me most and give me a way to think as the little boy uttered “ sorry na” ( begging for forgiveness) because of his mistakes. Now, I know why my mother chose Nido milk for us. I am glad.=)

HARD TO KNOW?

One of them is lying. Kind of movie that was doomed on the eyes of viewers, same by an problematic premise and ill-cogent character motivation.
Benjamin Barry ( Matthew McConaughey) is an advertising executive and ladies’ who to win a big campaign, bets that he can make woman fall in love him in 10 days. Andie Anderson covers the ” How to lose a guy in 10 days? ” beat for ” composure”magazine and is assigned to write an article on How to lose a guy in 10 days , meet in a bar shortly after the bet is made . ( Just as Public Distance turned to Intimate distance zone? )
:“People from all over the world have different perspectives of what behaviors are considered appropriate for a specific setting. When these behaviors impact other people in a negative way, expectancy violations has occurred. In “How to Lose a Guy in 10 days,” this theory identifies with the nature of two people meeting to form a potential relationship. When forming a relationship, both individuals have “preconceived expectations” on how the other person will engage in conversation (Biernat & Billings, 1999). However, men and women hold different views on relationship expectations (Cohen, 2007).

I got glued in this movie. Well, in fact I never consider myself as an ignorant with this type of uninteresting movie ( Peace (: ). But,why does I decided to watch this movie if it viewed as ” UNINTERESTING?”. It’s my task.. I better do.

Last, 2 weeks we were given a 3 hours to watch and analyze this movie. Find it vague , really. In the long run, I got fine and I must continue.

How technical, foooof!. Thinking further is quite intricate for me to analyze this movie, Expectancy Violation Theory match to ” HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN JUST 10 DAYS?”

First, we need to know how did the movie being linked in the given theory.
From the very genesis or perhaps, it’s too cogent to have alots of covered critiques and reactions.
Spectators and readers of the story may find many consumptions, reactions that were being violated in different events.
The scenario that was being shown in the movie fed lessons towards the expected outcome flown in this movie.

Indeed, ” Expectancy Violation Theory”, there were 60/100 resulted violation. To be dearth in some points of desired expectation from both casts.
Hey, does it sounds fair if we won’t find any violations ” HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS?”.

Violation occurs anytime, it may be in non-verbal or verbal. As we attached this in given 4 personal space zone, we find it as vague.

“Sometimes you play well and deserve to win but you end up losing. The most important thing for us is to make sure we’re consistent throughout the season”.

In Proxemics we’ll have an idea to justify this thing. Here we may find an obviuos results in relation to their becoming “relationship”. Both of them are intimate to one another. Does ” violation valence’” as resulted to the communicator influence how the violation will affect communication outcomes it could be negative or positve depending to who’s doing the said behavior. Just like this when - she’s trying to lose him, in the contrary Bejamin is doing whatever it takes to keep here! We can see an conclude here that by trying there were many scenes that was being violated in the expection of Andie. Same with Benjamin expectation doing his best to win Andie.

EVT helped me to give my first and final analysis, even though I was in the stage of ambiguous mind because when you ” Love” it must be in the next to next steps. Perhaps, it’s really in own contest. Personal space is too invisible does we find it hard to always rely in our own expectations.

Does EVT exists in this stupid line? ” You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back”.

Well, it’s now interesting

God speaking

God Is Speaking

Can you hear God speaking?
He’s talking to you now.
If you don’t it’s because you’re not listening
Or you don’t understand how.
The whisper of the wind,
The rustle of the breeze blown leaves,
The patter of the rain,
His voice is all of these.
The smile of a stranger,
The sunshine in the morn,
It’s the twinkle of the stars above
As another babe is born.
The Lord’s language is simplicity,
Not made of nouns and verbs.
It’s in the blooming of rose,
It’s in the growing of the herbs.
His words are in this beauty,
Seen only by the wise.
It’s what we take the time to view,
And what we will recognize.
Our Creator gave us everything,
We need not ask for more.
Give him thanks for what we have,
Give him thanks for what’s in store.

the same love

How can the same love
That made me so happy
Make me so sad?
I don`t understand
How could the same eyes
That used to be laughing
Cry in the night?
It doesn`t seem right at all

Remembering the nights we held onto each other,
The times you told me you`d never love another
(Remember when) I was all you ever needed
Where are you when I need you now?

Sunny days
Have left me standing in the rain (standing in the rain)
Can somebody tell me how?

-We've run out of words

We've run out of time  We've run out of reasons  Really, why are we together?  We both know it's over, baby  Bottom line  It's best we don't even talk at all  

Go ME na To.. ( Magazine So Cady..)

CANDY magazine was launched June 2005 to showcase Irish creativity alongside international equivalents to a worldwide audience. Since then 10 downloadable pdf format issues have been released to local and international acclaim and our focus has changed somewhat to showcasing and promoting great creatives and their work wherever they may be.

CANDY is, and will always be, digitally produced and distributed as we believe that, above even the obvious ecological benefits, this is the quickest, easiest and most cost effective way of making sure as many people as possible see the people and projects featured in our magazine. Once we publish a new issue and upload it’s there for anyone to download, simple.

Why love it so..

says another girl,At first, I thought that this magazine was too colorful for me so I just ignored it. Later, I was so intrigued why my daughter loves to read it so yesterday, I tried to scanned the pages of Candy magazine.

I consider this magazine a both a fashion magazine and an advertising magazine. Teen styles from shoes, pants, dresses, bags, to accessories are found here in this magazine, most of them very expensive for an average teenager. But the designs are really hip and cool.

This magazine is full of ads that is why I consider this an advertising magazine. The ads are just too much in every page that there are just very few and limited articles written on each most of the time. There are few tips and tricks on how-to’s but on every page there are always ads!

Maybe these ads are what making this magazine alive but I suggest the company should write more valuable articles more than ads.

I dnt have any candy magz but fortunately, have friend who happened to be a collector of the candy magz.. her name is Nette and whenever she bought new one I will just ask permission and there I go read and got glued for quite an hour.. =) lol!- yanxz

From Best Friend to Boyfriend

When BF starts to take on a different meaning, what do you do?

by: Alan Abeleda

posted on January 21, 2010 06:00 pm

The love math can be so much fun when you're a star on primetime TV. It's all about addition, multiplication, and even a little division. Check these out: Vanessa + Dan, Nate + Blair, Serena + Nate, Blair + Chuck.

In real life, as in the reel world, falling in love with your best friend is a set-up every true romantic would call a win/win situation. For starters, that awkward getting-to-know-you phrase is one less major roadblock to contend with. But getting to the point where you call each other "babe" (and I don't mean the lovable pig) and take turn sipping from same glass of iced tea doesn't always happen in a flash. It took the Upper East Siders three seasons before Dan realized (with Olivia's help) he was really in love with V. And Chuck finally getting together with Blair was no walk in the park, so why should it be any easier for you?

But first things first... Before attempting to turn a male friend into a boyfriend, you must first acknowledge that romance can grow between you and him. Can you see yourself holding his hand (and not just to arm wrestle) or kissing him without cringing at the thought?

But admitting that love can happen between really good friends is tough. Proceed with caution or that giant leap of faith might turn into a painful belly flop. When you say "I could fall for (fill in his name)," you've got to mean it. Not because you mom thinks he's great or your girlfriends think he's cute, but because you think he's cool.

Don't misread his buddy language. Being best friends doesn't always come with a free pass to "Sweethearts Ville." Believe me, this is a thought you need to understand before you even dream about becoming his girlfriend.

"But he understands me like no other guy, accepts me for me, and he's always there," you say. But does that give you license to profess your undying love for him? Nope. It's pathetic and the odds of you getting burned are high. Sure, the situation can swing either way: Your bud may get a flash of inspiration and realize he's in love with you too. Either that of you hear him start to say "I really like you, but..." Ouch.

Maybe what he feels for you is a case of brotherly love. Or maybe you're just feeling lonely and bored, and he just happens to be there. If this is the case, you know you both deserve much better than just settling for each other.

Echos of a MAN's mind...

Would you mind if I touched you?
I mean, really touched you..
I mean, touch you where it matters..
heart, spirit, and soul
your inner woman
the part of you that hide that is sacred?
Would you let me build an altar there,
where we can worship together-as one
transparent and unashamed?

And would you mind if I looked at you?
I mean really looked at you...
Past the you
that you've so carefully groomed for me to see?
Past the tough exterior,deep within your heart
where it's soft, warm and vulnerable?
Would you let me fill you with reassurances? until I felt your defenses?
yield in the pain of my hand
and respond to my invitation to love?
and then I'd like to hear you,
I mean, really hear u,
So... would u mind if I tasted you?
I mean really taste u..
the bitterness of you..
the sweetness of u..
all the flavors of u..
that make you so rare..
and unforgettable...

I'd like to savor your love
like a rich dessert..
and all that would be left
is the scent of you..
By the way would u mind if I breathed in ur essence?ur life?
I promise I'd return it..
and treasure the memory of living
through your senses/..
for then I would totally know you..
and know how to love you in return...

Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting.


Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh.

Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return.

Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely.

Act V
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice.

Right of Reply to Criticism or Adverse Statements

A right of reply is not popular with the media, but it has found increasing favour with tribunals and other standard-setting bodies internationally. Journalists may have to accept that this may be the least-worst option. The alternative to balancing views may be to be held responsible for endorsing the opinions of one candidate or another.

The best way of avoiding an enforced right of reply is clearly to ensure balance in coverage. Even the generally unregulated US media have been obliged to comply with a Fairness Doctrine in election reporting that ensures that all the main parties get a say in news and current affairs programmes. Broadcasting stations are obliged to offer "reasonable opportunity for the discussion of conflicting views". The wording is important: "reasonable" rather than equal. Coverage is not measured with a stopwatch. It is simply that all sides of the debate get heard.

Sometimes this general approach of fairness is not adequate. The personal attack rule under the US Communication Act requires that if an attack is made on the personal qualities or character of an individual, then that person should be notified and given an opportunity to respond.

In the South African election of 1994 there was a provision, slightly broader than the US personal attack rule, but based on the same principle. This is a common rule in election laws and regulations and provides a sensible opportunity to achieve balanced debate. It stated that if a criticism were levelled against a political party without that party being given the opportunity to respond at the time, or without its view being reflected, then the broadcasting licensee was obliged to give the party a reasonable opportunity to respond to the criticism.

If within 48 hours of the beginning of the vote a broadcaster intended to broadcast a programme in which a particular political party was criticized, then the broadcasting licensee should give the party the opportunity to respond within the programme, or as soon as possible afterwards. These provisions only applied to coverage under the editorial control of the broadcaster and not to party election broadcasts or political advertisements.

Brazil has a right of reply provision that applies specifically to knowingly making false statements in the course of direct access broadcasts. In this case the offended party can appeal to a judge. If the application is successful the complainant wins an amount of free time for rebutting the false statement that is then subtracted from the amount of free time granted to the offender.

In life, there's many things that we have to learn to let go. We have to let go of situations, things, memories, people and even ourselves.

It's easy to form an attachment to people and things. When you've formed an attachment to people and things, it can be a very painful experience and feeling when you realized that it's time to let go. Even the mere thought of not having that person or thing in your life just squeezes your heart in pain.

However, there are times where you or that person has changed to the extent that it's necessary to let go of the relationship or friendship, so that each of you can fulfill your life path.

Letting go of your past and memories are also extremely hard. Even though old memories can be tormenting, yet you might hold on to the past and refuse to move forward. However, by refusing to let go of the painful past, it'll serve as a roadblock to love.

Letting go of your old self and the process of letting the new you emerge can be one of the scariest experiences in your life. But by leaving behind your old self and taking a leap of faith into the unknown, it might just reveal what you are truly capable of becoming.

I Love You

Just three little words
don't seem like enough
for someone whose smile
still brightens my day,
whose touch can make me forget
the rest of the world.

They don't seem like enough
for someone who's always been there
to celebrate with me
when everything goes my way
and to hold my hand
when my whole world
seems to fall apart.

But even though "I Love You"
can't express the depth
of my feelings for you.
I hope you know what's in my heart.
Because loving you
means more to me
than anything in the world
and it always will.

A Table Set For Two

Candles flicker softly on a table set for two,
There's no one on the earth tonight except for me and you.

A nice romantic dinner and a bottle of chilled wine,
And we are here together in a moment stopped in time.

A love so few have ever known and this is its birth night,
Alone within our little world, you and I and candlelight.

So soon we will set free the feelings that we want to share.
And I am held here spellbound by your laughter in the air.

Thoughts of love like falling leaves,
Swirling in the autumn breeze,

Flow in our minds and in our eyes,
A tender look and longing sighs,

We touch and as the fire starts,
That we have kindled in our hearts,

We kiss and hear the angels sing,
As heavens gift to me you bring,

No more to live my life alone,
And in your soul I found my home,

At peace within your loving arms,
Captivated by your charms,

And happily I'd die for you,
Here at this table set for two.

little by little

Families break up when people take hints you don't intend and miss hints you do intend. ~

~ When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death. ~

~ The scars you can't see are the hardest to heal. ~

~ They say that time heals all wounds but all it's done so far is give me more time to think about how much I miss you. ~

~ Turn your wounds into wisdom. ~

~ I expanded with the joy of your love and presence but now that you're gone I just feel bloated. ~

~ Invisible tears are the hardest to wipe away. Just let it out, my friend. ~

~ Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you're with an individual who isn't moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain't going to work. ~

~ It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness. ~

~ You left, and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of loneliness. ~

~ Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell. ~

~ God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces. ~

--It has been said that cure for ill., sorrow..loneliness and lies of humanity is : LoVe.---

Expectancy Violation Theory

Judee Burgoon, " Expectancy Violation Theory" tackles the violation valence, expectancy, and communicator reward valence. Edward Hall discussed proxemics, which consisted of four personal zones in which the Americans correspond with each other:

a) intimate distance

b) personal distance

c) social distance

d) public distance.

EVT is practical in the real world and applicable for many reasons. This theory helps in how to change your relationship and keep it alive. The breaking of norms, such as getting into the proxemics zones of friends is not always necessarily bad, and can stimulate a friendship.

The theory also teaches you not to break the proxemics zones with certain people. The reward valence is practical although sounding shallow, it is true. You are friends with people that can do things for you, although you also do things for you friends. When some one changes their normal response or look at you in an unexpected way, it now can be proven why. Also this theory proves why or why not people do certain body gestures in certain instances.

EVT offers a " soft determinism" rather than hard-core universal laws. Her belief that too many factors affect communication to allow us ever to discover simple cause-and-effect relationships. Added that ' expectancy' is predicted to occur rather than what is desired.

For Griffin: EVT described the word " expectancy" as a situation that your trying to accomplish or simply your desire. That personal space depends on each person's cultural norms. This also link the social status of communicators. In their age/sex/place-of-birth and also each physical appearance.

Example for a Violation theory

A shy girl went to a party , then there was a guy who got so close to her, talking his very private life. It is expected that she would feel not comfortable since they never established relationship with this guy.

Another example to help understand Expectancy Violations Theory can be demonstrated when Pokwang goes for a job interview. She feels that he is not getting very positive feedback from the potential employer, so she knows he should not violate expectancies and further hurt his chances of impressing the interviewer. However, if Pokwang suddenly felt more confident about the relationship she was building with the interviewer, she might consciously violate his or her expectations. She could pick up a picture on his or her desk and comment positively on the picture, hoping that this act would make him positively stick out in the employer's mind later.

Synopsis- Social Penetration Theory

Irwin Altham & Dalmas Taylor proposed a " social penetration theory" that explains how relational closeness develops. This psychological theory, as with many ithers is applied in the context of interpersonal relationships such as communications. Develops the penetration deeper and deeper into an intimate; private and personal matters. This express vulnirabilities so that 'trust' exist to develop along the way.

The mainmodel of social penetration is symbol to show how a relationship, live an onion has layers that lead to a deeper point.

This can be seen in conversation at parties, as stranger steadily chat each other up.

This is from Taylor and Altman 1973:

1. Orientation stage. Here, we play safe with small talk and simple, harmless clichés like ‘Life’s like that’, following standards of social desirability and norms of appropriateness.
2. Exploratory affective stage. We now start to reveal ourselves, expressing personal attitudes about moderate topics such as government and education. This may not be the whole truth as we are not yet comfortable to lay ourselves bare. We are still feeling our way forward. This is the stage of casual friendship, and many relationships do not go past this stage.
3. Affective stage. Now we start to talk about private and personal matters. We may use personal idioms. Criticism and arguments may arise. There may be intimate touching and kissing at this stage.
4. Stable stage. The relationship now reaches a plateau in which personal things are shared and each can predict the emotional reactions of the other person.
5. Depenetration. When the relationship starts to break down and costs exceed benefits, then there is a withdrawal of disclosure which leads to termination of the relationship.

Penetration

Is Rapid at the start but slows down quickly as the tightly wrappred inner layers and reached.

Social Information Processing Theory

Joseph Walther come up with this theory called Social Information Processing Theory because he believes that relationships grow only to the extent that parties first gain information about each other and use that information to form ' interpersonal impressions of who they are.

It focuses on the first link of the chain- the personal information available through CMC and its effect on the composite mental image of the other that each one creates.

Interpersonal Information-Impression Formation-Relationship Development.

He included that nonverbal cues are filtered out of the interpersonal information that send and received through CMC. Physical context, facial expression, tone of voice, interpersonal distance, body position, appearance, gestures, touch, and smell are all missing.

Walther highlights two features of CMC that provide a rationale for SIP theory.

VERVAL cues

CMC users can create fully formed impression of others based solely on the linguistic content of computer-mediated messeges. For example, your texting with a weird anonymous over the phone,then he/she talked about green jokes, since this anonymous gave taht hint , you'll conclude that this anopnymous is king of hot and torid., based alone on what he/ she talked about.

2. Extended time

This must be no reason to believe that CMC relationships will be weaker or more fragile than those developed with the benefit of nonverbal cues because the exchange of social information in through CMC is much slower than it is face-to-face, so impression are formed at a reduced rate.It would be also refer to the length of time that communicators would need before they can send or received messages.
