"Wiggledance!" is the fifth Wiggles video filmed on the 10th of December 1996 in the York Theatre at the University of Sydney's Seymour Centre and released on the 9th of June in 1997. It was re-released in 1998 with Vini Vini cut out of the video but this song was restored in 2013 when it was shown on Wiggle Time TV with a bonus intro by Emma Watkins.
It took about 2 months to film this video. First in December 1996, The Wiggles filmed their concert footage at the University of Sydney's Seymour Center. Then in January 1997, the chroma key scene of Emma Ryan painting a Wiggles logo was filmed.

The Wiggles are on stage. They introduce themselves. Anthony says, "Since we're all here, why don't we sing some songs together?" Anthony tells the audience to clap their hands three times, hold their hands up high and sing like opera singers, "la la la la la", bow to the person next to you, turn around and say, "Yippie", put their hands in the air, rock-a-bye your bear (they pretend it's a teddy bear), and bears now asleep.
- Song 1: Rock-a-Bye Your Bear
Anthony tells Greg that someone's snoring. Where's that snoring coming from? It's Jeff. Anthony, Murray and Greg are surprised to see that Jeff falling asleep. So what can we do? Greg asks the audience to count to three and wake Jeff up. When he wakes up, maybe he'll do some silly things. Here we go: One, two, three. Wake up Jeff!!! Jeff wakes up and tweets like a bird. Murray asks Jeff if he is awake. Jeff says that he's awake now. Murray tells him not to sleep because we need (swinging both his arms backwards like a windmill) you for the next song. Zingle, zangle. Jeff flaps his arms like a windmill, too. Greg tells him to show everybody how to dance in the next song. But, oh, no! Jeff falls asleep again. Greg tells the audience to wake up Jeff one more time. One, two, three. Wake up, Jeff! Jeff wakes up again and once again flaps and tweets like a bird. Anthony tells Jeff if he's awake now. Anthony thanks everyone for waking Jeff up. Anthony tells Jeff to show everyone how to point our fingers and do the twist. Greg also tells Jeff to stand on one foot, and shake your hands. Murray tells everyone to point our fingers and do the twist together.
Murray asks everyone if they know Dorothy the Dinosaur. Murray tells everyone about Dorothy but adds that she does a dance like this. Murray demonstrates the dance, Anthony and Greg join along, while Jeff plays organ music on his keyboard. Let's all run like Dorothy. Murray introduces the next song about Dorothy the Dinosaur.
- Song 3: Dorothy The Dinosaur
Dorothy greets everyone. Anthony tells her great dancing. He has a question for her. Would you like to do another dance? He asks the audience if they're like to do another dance with Dorothy, and everyone agrees.
- Song 4: Dorothy (Would You Like to Dance?) – Murray plays guitar while Jeff plays keyboard.
At the end of the song, Dorothy has done a split. Greg and Anthony try to lift her back up, but she's heavy. They ask if she's okay, but Dorothy quietly responds, "help me." They call Murray and Jeff to help lift her, but no luck. Murray has an idea. He asks everyone to get a big breath together to help lift Dorothy up. The Wiggles, Dorothy and the audience all take a deep breath, and finally, they lift Dorothy up. Dorothy thanks everyone. Anthony tells Dorothy if she'd like to come back later and have another dance. Dorothy responds that she'd love to. Now it's time to wave goodbye to Dorothy. She waves goodbye and leaves.
After Dorothy leaves, Murray introduces to this song were there are not going to use any instruments but use their hands to do the next song: Vini Vini.
- Song 5: Vini Vini (1997 version only) - The Wiggles chant out "Ooh, ahh, hey" as cavemen.
Who's that yawning? They think it's our sleepy friend, Jeff. But Jeff arrives and says he's not yawning; maybe it's Anthony. It's not Anthony, or Greg, so who could it be? They ask the audience and they reply Murray! Murray tells the others he's really tired; last night there was a dog barking out his window. As Wags arrives, Jeff asks Murray what the dog looked like, describing the details of Wags. Murray affirms each point until Jeff points if it looks like the dog behind him. Murray turns around and says, "It's Wags the Dog!".
- Song 6: Wags The Dog
Greg tells Wags that was great dancing but it's time to say goodbye for now. Bye, Wags!
Jeff plays the Captain Feathersword theme music as Captain Feathersword arrives aboard his pirate ship. Captain Feathersword gets off his ship and greets everyone with a "Ahoy there, me hearties". As he says hearties, he repeats the ee sound several types, swinging his feathersword around, and then throws it in the air but misses catching it. He tries a second time, and the same thing happens. Then the third time, the sword lands on his head, knocking him to the ground. Anthony tells Captain Feathersword if he's all right and he is. Anthony tosses him back his pirate hat, which he catches and puts on his head. Anthony then tosses him the feathersword but the feathersword hits him on the head again and he falls. After he gets up again, Anthony tosses the sword, which Captain catches. Anthony tosses the hat, which Captain catches but tosses the sword back to Anthony so he can put the hat on his head. Anthony tosses the sword again but Captain catches it and loses his hat. Anthony gets the hat and tosses it to Captain, but Captain tosses the sword back and puts on his hat. This repeats a few times. Where's his hat? He's already wearing it but they're looking around. They're doing jumping jacks. Oh it's on his head. Captain Feathersword says "Quack, quack." Anthony tells him and the audience quack like a duck. Captain follows up with a "cock-a-doodle-doo." Greg arrives with duck and rooster hats for the other Wiggles to wear.
- Song 7: Quack Quack
Captain tells everyone to give yourselves a big clap. Jeff has fallen asleep again. This time, Anthony says that Jeff seems to be in a really deep sleep and that we need to think of a new way to wake Jeff up. He asks a boy from the audience; he replies sing a song. He asks the boy's name, and he replies Christopher. What song can we sing to wake Jeff up? Christopher replies, "Wake up Jeff." That makes sense. Anthony teaches everyone how to sing and dance to "Wake Up, Jeff." They sing "Wake up, Jeff" line; it almost wakes him up but he's still asleep, they try again but the same thing happens, so they'll have to sing the whole song.
- Song 8: Wake Up Jeff!
Jeff is finally awake. Murray thanks the audience for waking Jeff up.
Greg notices that Captain Feathersword is holding juggling balls. Greg tells Captain it's not time to juggle since it's time for something else. Greg turns the audience to talk about something, but Captain Feathersword is juggling again. He turns to Captain Feathersword, who has hidden his balls, and asks if he was juggling. Captain denies it. Greg asks the audience and they affirm he is juggling. Greg takes the balls from the Captain and tells him to stand very still. He then talks to the audience about what's coming up, but Captain Feathersword is now dancing. The audience tell Greg that; Greg turns but Captain is standing still now. Greg asks Captain if he was dancing, but he denies it again. Greg asks the audience and they say yes. Greg tells Captain Feathersword no more juggling and dancing; just stay right there. But as soon as Greg turns to the audience again, Captain Feathersword runs off, and returns riding a unicycle. He loses control and runs into the backdrop. Greg tells him if he's okay. Captain says he's okay but what about his bike? Anthony says it must be broken since it only has one wheel. He and Greg leave to get it fixed. Meanwhile, Captain Feathersword shows the audience about a special new dance called, "Nya, Nya, Nya".
- Song 9: Nya Nya Nya - featuring four Irish dancing girls; Jessie, Cassie, Sian and Emma. Dorothy, Wags and Henry also join in the dance. Later Greg and Anthony dance while Murray and Jeff play instruments in the back.
Everyone leaves except Greg and Anthony. Greg talks about the special part of the show when Murray arrives in a doctor's coat. Look, everyone. It's Doctor Murray! What's up, doc? Doctor Murray says that there were joeys jumping on their beds and fell off and bumped their heads. Anthony asks if they were jumping like this: he starts jumping like a joey. Murray affirms and runs off. Anthony says he can see someone jumping like that; in fact, all the kids are jumping around.
- Song 10: Five Little Joeys - Anthony sings this one. Murray comes back for the parts where the doctor says, "No more joeys jumping on the bed." The last part has one silly doctor jumping on the bed.
Henry the Octopus arrives with Greg. Henry asks Greg if he could sing a song about his friend, Baby Beluga. Greg replies, sure, but who is Baby Beluga. Henry explains he's a little whale. He likes to swim, dive, and splash in the ocean. Anthony arrives and gives Greg a whale tail. Greg puts it on and asks Henry how long the song would take to sing? Henry thinks about it, and replies that it would take a little whale.
- Song 11: Baby Beluga - Murray and Jeff wave two large ribbons in the back while Greg sings with Anthony, Captain Feathersword and Henry. Midway through the song, Anthony directs the audience on the dance.
Henry thanks everyone for singing that song. He asks Greg that he has another dance. Anthony calls everyone to stand up and dance.
- Song 12: Let's Have A Dance With Henry - On the conga line part, Jeff tries to catch up with Henry and the others and he finally makes it.
Let's wave goodbye to Henry. Look who's here? Dorothy arrives with the child dancers who are wearing Wiggles shirts, overalls and caps. Dorothy says they've been doing the Romp Bomp a Stomp. Let's stand up. Join us and do the Romp bomp A Stomp.
- Song 13: Romp Bomp A Stomp
Dorothy and the dancers leave. Murray invites everyone to do the actions for the next song.
- Song 14: Hot Potato
Anthony says you can dance any way you like on the next song. It's time to wiggle.
- Song 15: Get Ready To Wiggle - Captain Feathersword, the mascots, and the child dancers come back to dance.
Murray tells the audience that the show is almost over. He gives special thanks to Sian, Emma, Jessica and Cassie for being great helpers for Dorothy. He also would like to say thanks to the moms and dads, grandparents, caregivers and especially the kids. They all give a big clap. And right now Murray says that it is time to say goodbye to each other. The Wiggles and their friends all say goodbye to the audience as "Get Ready To Wiggle" plays in the background. They leave the concert, except Captain Feathersword. He does his crazy dance and says "Bye, see you later" quickly a bunch of times, and stops for a moment. Where did everybody go? But the audience is still there. Captain Feathersword asks if they would like to see his special dance one more time. Okay!
- Song 16: Nya Nya Nya (Reprise) - With the child dancers, the credits roll as the mascots join in the dance. Then Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Wags, Henry and The Wiggles come back and take a bow. Murray is playing guitar, and Jeff is playing accordion.
The Wiggles say goodbye to everybody and leave as the credits roll to the music for "Jeff's Christmas Tune".

Promo Pictures
- This is the first appearance of The Wiggles' new logo. It is seen on the clock on stage, and on their shirts for the front and back video cover pictures, however, the concert footage still has The Wiggles wearing plain colored short-sleeved shirts. One of the camera operators also has it on his shirt. The word "The" used to be in blue, but now it's in red. The front and back covers of the VHS also mark the first appearance of the Wiggles' famous logo belt buckles.
- Unlike other concert tours, this one has the guitars on the right side of the stage and Jeff's keyboard on the left side of the stage. There is also no bass guitar or drum set.
- This is The Wiggles' very first official concert video.
- The Wiggles wear short-sleeved T-shirts in this video. Greg's shirt is a lighter yellow than the goldenrod long-sleeved shirt he wore in the previous videos. Anthony used to wear a green short-sleeved polo shirt or a green long-sleeved T-shirt until Wake Up Jeff! 1996 when he wore a long-sleeved blue shirt.
- Carolyn Ferrie, who does Dorothy's voice, is credited as Voice Over. This is her first video where she voices Dorothy. Previously it was done by Emma Buter or Murray Cook.
- This is the first time Captain Feathersword played by Paul Paddick is seen on stage and the first time Captain Feathersword appears on Stage to be released on Video.
- During the guitar solo of "Wake Up Jeff!", Murray is playing a Takamaine acoustic guitar but the music presented features an electric guitar.
- This is The Wiggles' first concert video made by The Wiggles rather than ABC For Kids.

- While Anthony and Greg try lifting Dorothy up for the first time, Murray in the background smells his armpits, due to the fact that he put on deodorant. A promo photo later shows Greg and Anthony trying to lift Dorothy.
- Some people think that The Wiggles Movie is the first appearance of The Wiggles Logo but on the cover of this video The Wiggles have their new logo on their shirt.
- The Wiggles Movie was in pre-production around the time this was made.
- The opening sequence where a girl paints a Wiggles logo was filmed in a Chroma Key background. It is later seen at the end of TV Series 1 episodes in 1998.

- In the prologue for "Five Little Joeys", the Wiggles greet Murray, who is in a doctor's outfit, with the Bugs Bunny line "What's up, Doc?".
- Also in the above song, only The Other Wiggles are on stage.
- This video marks the first appearance of The Wiggles' Colored Dancers. Their last appearance was in The Wiggly Big Show but a few years later, they were replaced with The Wiggly Dancers during the "Hoop-Dee-Doo" tour. They wore colored shirts too, but then they switched to red coats and decided to wear the colored shirts only sometimes until 2005.
- This is the first video to feature more than one song during the end credits.
- This is the first video to have an item besides the shirts that are the symbolic colors of the band, Red, Yellow, Blue and Purple.
- This video marks the very first conversation between Anthony and Captain Feathersword while Anthony says the Captain's name. In the previous videos, the other Wiggles, Greg, Jeff and Murray each said the Captain's name played by Anthony Field.
- Emma Watkins is seen in the audience with her sister, Hayley Watkins during Get Ready to Wiggle, who would then go on to become Emma Wiggle in 2013. It is explained in a news broadcast.
- The original 1997 release runs a minute longer because of the song "Vini Vini".
- Nya, Nya, Nya is played twice in this video.
- This is the last video for the Epiphone electric guitar.
- Both the 1998 versions Hot Potato and Get Ready to Wiggle first appeared on this VHS before the re-release of Wiggle Time and Yummy Yummy
- This video features a few unique versions of some songs:
1. Rock A Bye Your Bear is the same rendition featured in The Wiggles Movie, except it has a trumpet and the accordion track is missing.
2. Wags the Dog has a slower tempo and a harpsichord track.
3. Quack Quack has a cowbell for percussion instead of drums.
4. Henry's Christmas Dance is renamed "Let's Have a Dance With Henry", which sounds for the most part identical to the album version, except for higher-pitched backing vocals.
5. The drums in Romp Bomp a Stomp are more prominent.
6. Get Ready to Wiggle is the version that was later utilized for the re-recorded Wiggle Time, but with a live keyboard track.
- The lighting changes throughout the video whether it's light or dark.
- The video footage for the closing song "Nya Nya Nya (reprise)" has an out of sequence event: when Greg is about to rejoin the group, it cuts briefly to Captain and Anthony joining hands and holding up their arms for the dancers to go under, but that part of the dance comes later. It then happens again at the right time.
- Some of the shots in the video don't match and cameramen appear out of nowhere, because there were 2 or more concerts filmed the same day, the makers of the video used the best footage from both.

To go along with my beauty routine New Year's resolutions for 2016, I am also trying to take extra care and attention regarding my skincare routine too. I think if I start young and try and maintain healthy, clean skin than I won't have such a hard time avoiding wrinkles and puffiness when I begin the aging process. To help aid myself in the process of aging and maintaining healthy skin, I started to use the VII Code Oxygen Eye Mask, these eye masks are particularly for dark circles, which is perfect for those long nights of events after a day at the office. These masks worked like a dream, they stayed on for up to 8 hours (the required amount of time) and didn't fall off when I fell asleep. Once taking these masks off in the morning, my eyes were brightened and felt hydrated (because of the oxygen) and eliminated signs of tiredness. I would definitely recommend picking up some of these masks for the new year, they make all the difference in the world.

Today I'd like to share with you a really important aspect of Agile software development – how to account for bugs in your daily plans.
I am frequently asked by teams I consult with how to deal with bugs if you're Agile and using Scrum. Questions like the following come up time and time again:
"Should I track hours burned fixing bugs?"
"Should the hours burned on fixing bugs count toward my Story Point velocity?"
"When do you schedule bugs and should this be done during Sprint planning?"
You Need to Account For Bugs
My company is often working on many simultaneous projects and having to juggle resources. To get everything done on time and bug free requires careful planning. As a result we have to ensure that we're considering all aspects of software development including bug fixing. Bottom line is Bugs take time to fix and so you have to account for them. If you don't, you will have an inaccurate measure of your teams productivity – something that will definitely lead to poor planning and late deliveries. (….read more)
Time to fix bugs therefore, should come out of your teams available capacity. So when one schedules bugs to be fixed, bugs should be estimated just like you do with tasks on the sprint backlog. Developers must therefore determine for each bug scheduled, the hours remaining to complete the bug daily. And this WILL be reflected in the daily burn-down along with tasks.
Calculating the Teams Capacity
Essentially teams have a certain capacity i.e. available time during the week to do meaningful work. This can be calculated as follows:
(# of team members) * (# days in the week) * (hours in the day) = capacity
You should however modify the capacity to reflect reality (time spent in meetings, doing email, vacation etc) so this can get quite complicated. The best thing to do is to figure out what percentage of time per day you get real work out of the team on AVERAGE.
At our company we work on a 4 or 5 hour day therefore:
Actual Capacity = Capacity * 0.5
Once again, don't get hung up on being extremely accurate as this all averages out in the end. Just be reasonable in your approach. If you want to take vacation into account etc one can get quite fancy about this, but usually a rough estimate works fine. It does for my team.
Resolving Bugs Shouldn't Count Toward Your Story Point Velocity
The time spent resolving bugs however should NOT be counted towards the Teams overall Story point velocity. i.e. I'm not going to give my team credit for buddy code!
Bugs should be scheduled into a sprint or iteration along with user stories during the Sprint planning meeting. So the total time to implement tasks and fix bugs should not be more than the available capacity you determined for the Team (See above capacity calculation). Note that this total time in hours is the intersection with the Y-axis on your burndown.
I know many coaches will argue that bugs should be tracked seperately and that bugs should be dealt with in the sprint that they're found. However in practice this is not always practical. Try it, and you'll improve your teams predictability significantly.
Next week I will give a detailed account of how we do Planning.
If you have any questions about Planning or Bug Tracking in general or if you have strong opinions on this topic, please don't hesitate to pitch in!

February 28th, 2008, 03:33 PM #1Merchants: Get The Most Out Of ABestWeb.com
I had jotted down these notes a couple days ago, thinking that they might fit into the ABestWeb panel at Affiliate Summit, but I never used them. I figured they might be useful for merchants who are hesitant to participate or who don't think they're fully utilizing everything ABestWeb.com has to offer.
I really see three different levels at which merchants can benefit from using ABestWeb.com: As a READER, as a POSTER, and as a SUB-FORUM OWNER.
Utilizing ABestWeb.com as a READER:
1. There is a wealth of information here. Browse the sub-forums that are most appropriate for you. Peruse the newest posts regularly. Soak it all up. Learn to use the Search features. Some quick tips if your searches turn up too many threads: Specify a user name if you remember a specific person saying something. Specify a specific sub-forum if appropriate. Specify that you only want threads with more than a certain number of replies, as most of the better threads have more replies.
2. Read every single thread in the Merchant Best Practices Forum, especially the Consolidated List of Affiliate Friendly Policies.
3. Watch what other successful affiliate managers and OPMs do and implement those practices into your programs.
4. Learn what affiliates want (and what they hate)!
Utilizing ABestWeb.com as a POSTER:
1. You need to have a thick skin. If you're around long enough, you will have people respond to you negatively (even more so if you do something stupid). Don't take it personally and don't respond negatively. Don't be afraid of this. Work through it. If you know the hot buttons that infuriate affiliates (parasites and removing inactive affiliates are two big ones), you can avoid most of this.
2. Don't spam or do anything even vaguely spammy (especially on your first post). Don't make your introduction spammy. Know (and follow) the rules, particularly about signatures.
3. We're all marketers, so we're very aware when we're marketed to. Don't market to us. If you're going to post something promotional about your program, talk to Haiko first and pay for it.
4. Don't come in and try to pass yourself off as an expert (even if you are). Don't talk down to us. We're your peers. Be helpful without promoting yourself, your company, or your site. We can tell when you have alterior motives.
5. A forum is all about community and relationships. Establish and build those relationships. Participate in the "Affiliate Lounge" areas such as the Daily Chuckle, the Voting Booth, the Photo Gallery, etc. The more we know about you, the more we'll be interested in working with your company. A picture in your profile can help. You want a closer relationship with your affiliates, and this is a great place to build it.
6. Identify yourself where appropriate (like if you're responding to a thread about your company), but don't be spammy about it. For instance, don't respond in negative threads about your competitors.
7. Don't expect people to do your work for you. If you're going to ask a question, show us that you've done some legwork already and that it's not a question that's already been asked over and over again. Be specific in any questions you ask.
8. Realize that there is an incredible amount of transparency on ABestWeb.com. Anything you're doing or have done in the past will come out. Keep yourself clean.
9. If you have something you want advice about that you're afraid might be controversial, post it in the Affiliate Manager Only forum. There are no affiliates (other than a few Moderators) or network representatives there. There are some very helpful affiliate managers there and they can usually tell you how affiliates will react and alternatives that might be better.
Utilizing ABestWeb.com as a SUB-FORUM OWNER:
1. Make sure you've implemented affiliate-friendly policies first. You won't get a second chance at a first impression. Especially make sure you're not working with parasites, as that's the first thing many affiliates here check. If you are, you will take heat for it.
2. Stay professional in all of your responses. Even if the person you're responding to is a moron and deserves to be blasted, how you respond makes a huge impact on how you are perceived. If you keep your cool and respond in a professional manner, you win. If you drop to their level, you lose.
3. Don't censor negative feedback. Act to improve things. Respond quickly. Move forward. It's much more impressive to see that you handle problems well. Just covering them up (by removing them) leaves a very bad taste.
4. Run frequent (and varied) promotions to get participation in your sub-forum. Give out prizes. Give out increased commissions and return days. Solicit feedback.
5. Look at what some of the most successful OPMs do and try to come up with similar ideas.

Well said Michael.
Might I add that this is a great forum to develop more personal relationships with some decent affiliates.
I can tell you that we have continual discussions through this channel with some of our most successful merchant relationships. We get their opinion on some aspect of our sites and they are open to our suggestions to help us increase sales.I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die
to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there
isn't and die to find out there is.

Great post Michael.
I would like to add two things under POSTER.
1) Be helpful - If you know the answer, be humble and try to help people either on the board or privately. It could be another merchant or affiliate. Look at building a long term relationship as I believe "what goes around comes around".. so in the future, some people will not hesitate to help you when you are in need.
2) Be Professional - Be professional in your posting as you are representing your company, so project the right image. Calling other merchant, affiliates or just people in general "slime ball", "flee infested" will not help your image. Put all that energy into making your program better.Eric Ewe

Great complete post MC. I think I always mention a few of those to prospects in emails but adding this one this time to my sig as it is very well explained and with all the approriate links, less searching around for them. Thanks for taking time out to say and do this for current and future ABW members.

Excellent Coley, thanks!
A note about transparency... at first, many here seem anonymous, we're really just picky with our time mostly and avoiding being jacked by newbies we haven't flushed out yet as thieves or otherwise lazy copycats. The vast majority of active posters here know me and my business in great detail and we talk about all kinds of things and people when we get together and are otherwise away from ABW. This place isn't nameless and faceless to us, nor will it be to you, once you start building relationships here based on honesty and openness - the unsecret key to getting the most from this place.

Than u Mr Coley,
its really a great post and is helping me a lot as im one of the complete strangers who is still learning about affiliate marketing from a merchant point of view.
September 1st, 2009, 08:48 AM #10
Thanks Michael, I'll keep these in mind!

Thanks Michael, this is a big help to a new guy on the forums...
January 22nd, 2010, 07:34 PM #12
Thanks Michael, I know you posted this ages ago but it's the first time I read it. I have only been half hearted about posting in ABW and have been so tied up trying to survive my first year of business on my own as a new mom that I haven't really been as dedicated to this as I should have been. I'm ready to change that now. I'm also going to be launching an AIM Group forum in here finally, now that I have some more cashflow. Just waiting on a couple more programs to launch soon.
Just wanted to let you all know that I'm here now, and that I appreciate everything you guys do, my collegues. You give me something to look up to and something to strive for. This community definiately makes the industry better and I'm looking forward to being a bigger part of it.
Talk soon,

It's a good read for everyone!.
As an affiliate I can tell a little bit about how I got on Abestweb almost by accident. I was forced to come in a way as there was some allegation related to our site. My initial purpose was to address and rest the issue which I believe meant facing a hostile and rowdy crowd. But did I put through it all?. Oh boy, it was good I did put through it as most of that rowdy crowd would be pals over the time.
What's more, I did find some more networks to work or re-work through as a result of their outstanding recommendations and it only helped us in every aspect. In a nutshell, the bad episode yielded nothing but a long term positive results/relations for me overall. Thanks to ABW!

Lucky for me to find this post & first time to find it is not just marketing spam in signature.
March 23rd, 2010, 06:39 PM #15
appreciate the tips. This is one place I definitely don't want to post without thinking. :-)
May 8th, 2010, 08:31 AM #16
Great tips. I wish I would have read this before. Oh well, live and learn.
Thanks for the post
June 26th, 2010, 04:11 AM #17I am going to sit back and enjoy the ride!
Just joined AbestWeb and I agree. The best thing is explore all this site has to offer. When I started in online marketing years ago I went to classes on how to make a website that works, what is best colors to use on your web page. Knowing high tech gadgets and really cool animation is really cool but not for serious marketers. I will try to just relax and read my but off while I am here. Hope to gain a friend or 2 while I am here. - thanks for the information Mike

Thanks Michael, I know you have posted this a long time ago and I have glanced over it in the past, but this is the first time that I have really gone through the whole thing, which I should have done a long time ago.
I have only been half hearted about posting in ABW, this is mainly due to myself being occupied with starting my own business, getting married and having a kid that I haven't really been as dedicated to this as I should have been. Since this is what I want to do full-time. I'm ready to make the commitment now.
I want to thank you all and I appreciate everything you all do. Without this community, I wouldn't have even thought about heading out and starting something on my own.
Hope to meet you all in person someday soon.

This is an incredible help to me, Mr. Coley! I have been doing affiliate management for all of 4 weeks now, and have very little idea of what is even expected of me. But now I feel I have found a great source for some wisdom. I totally get what you're saying, and I want to start off my business on the right foot. Thank you so much!

I realize this is a pretty old post, but as a new member, this is great insight!

I'm new here but very grateful for all the good info. I'm new to the affiliate management side after years of just being an affiliate so there is much I can learn.
I'll be quiet now and continue being a reader....

8 Tips for Marketing Yourself Graciously
These tips are excerpted from the book, Designed for Success: The 10 Commandments for Women in the Workplace by Dondi Scumaci.
Chock full of great career advice and useable information, this book shows you how to learn to think like a marketer and sell your personal brand.
Here are the 8 tips for marketing yourself graciously:
- Instead of talking about what you did, talk about the difference it made.
- Instead of talking about what you can't do, talk about what you can do and what you are learning to do.
- Talk about your goals and how you will measure your success.
- Debrief results with your boss candidly and without apology. Listen to the difference between these two approaches: "I think the project went all right. There were some rough spots, but we made it through." Compare that report with this one: "We met our objectives and we learned a great deal. I am most proud of the way we…"
- Quantify your results whenever you can. Instead of saying, "I think we will save a lot of money," say, "I estimate a savings of more than $10,000."
- When you fall short of your goals, ask for feedback, and talk about what you have learned from the experience and how you will apply those insights in the future.
- Talk about your weaknesses differently. Instead of saying, "I need to be more analytical," say, "I want to strengthen my analytical skills. What projects or assignments would help me do that?"
- Even your challenges are opportunities to demonstrate creativity and problem-solving skills. When you aren't getting the results you need, present the issues along with your recommendations and solutions.

Dressed up Dogs!
Hi, friends! I'm participating in the magazine cooking event at Kitchen Bouquet, but I have to admit that I'm going to cheat a little! This recipe was either in Family Circle or Women's Day about 50 years ago ... when I was in grade school! It had to be one of those two magazines, because they were the only ones my mother would buy! (...because they were not expensive) I begged her to make these hotdogs ... and she told me that she thought I should make them. This was probably the first thing that I ever cooked!
So, I remember making them ... and I still make them the same way! The recipe couldn't be simpler. Each hotdog is wrapped in a piecee of bacon (I fry it until it is almost done, but still pliable), then placed in an open bun that has a piece of American cheese laying in it... topped with mustard, katchup, pickle relish (but we always used Mom's homemade pepper relish ... I still make it ... so I still use that) ... and then bundled up in aluminum foil and baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes!
They come out with a bun that is a little crispy ... a dog that is steamed perfectly ... and a combined flavor that takes me back to my childhood. These became a big hit in our household for Saturday lunch, usually with soup or chili in the winter .... and fresh tomatoes and cucumber/onion salad in the summer.
Enjoy ... and special thanks to our hostess for keeping our creative juices flowing!

So glad you joined in. I'm pretty loose about rules, so if you have had a recipe clipping rattling around in your head for 50 years then I more than happy to have you pull it out for the challenge! Its new to the rest of us! I think my hubby would love these. Everything is better with bacon!ReplyDelete
Sounds great Debbie! I have some dogs in the freezer! I just heard of a new party Bacon Monday, doesn't that sound like fun! It's on my sidebar if interested. Happy Sunday:@)ReplyDelete
Those dogs sure sound good! Is your moms relish posted on your blog?ReplyDelete
Looks so good! Has bacon, how could it not be? Love those old recipes, simple yet out of this world!ReplyDelete

Incredibly rude, yelled at me. We went somewhere else. Do no offer them your business, they do not deserve it.
Amazing authentic Thai food. The staff is super friendly. Priced right and the place is always packed.
Visited my Texas Tech son and he suggested this restaurant. Ordered per his request and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff very cordial and helpful. Will definitely return to this place.
Still making great Pad Thai noodles, shrimp fried rice, and hot and sour soup. We always try to work this place into a Lubbock stop and they are still making it as great as ever.
An unassuming restaurant from it's exterior and interior appearance. One would be put off by the lack of decor and flair that usually accompanies most Asian restaurants. But, Thai, Thai is saved by its vast menu and the tantalizing and aromatic flavors of its foods.
I've been going here for over 15 years since they were on Indiana. and there are some really great hits on the menu, and some so-so things. Things to get: Pad-see-ew, Masaman, Beef panang, artar, beef noodle soup, cashew chicken, barbeque chicken breast. Some people...More

Jake & Dinos Chapman
Jake Chapman was born in 1966 in Cheltenham, Dinos Chapman in 1962 in London. They live and work in London.
Working together since their graduation from the Royal College of Art in 1990, Jake and Dinos Chapman received critical acclaim for their fist sculptural piece 'Disasters of War', created out of remodeled plastic figurines enacting scenes of torture and disfigurement similar to those recorded by Francisco Goya in his 'Disasters of War' series of etchings.
Later for the Sensation exhibition one of these 'scenes' they meticulously transformed into a life size tableau of reworked fibreglass mannequins. 'Great Deeds Against the Dead' depicts three castrated and mutilated soldiers tied to a tree and was shown alongside the equally shocking sculpture 'Zygotic Acceleration, Biogenetic, De-sublimated Libidinal Model (Enlargedx1000)' which is part of Jake and Dinos Chapman's 'gleefully grotesque' series of mannequins of children often fused together with genitalia in place of facial features.
As well as creating sculpture, Jake and Dinos Chapman have an abiding interest in printmaking and their readiness to shock doesn't falter in this medium either. Their subversive wit and black humour is undercut by the craftsmanship and painstaking labour that is so clearly evident in their execution of their prints, be it their expertise in draftsmanship, engraving, woodcuts or model making.
Jake and Dino Chapman continue to work from their east London studio and although both are married, Dinos making music on his days off and Jake writing essays and short stories, they are still the reigning enfants terribles of contemporary British art.
They have exhibited extensively, including solo shows:
Museo Pino Pascali, Polignano a Mare, Italy (2010);
Hastings Museum, UK (2009);
Kestner Gesellschaft Hannover (2008);
Tate Britain, London (2007);
Tate Liverpool (2006);
Kunsthaus Bregenz (2005);
Museum Kunst Palast Düsseldorf (2003);
Modern Art Oxford (2003);
PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (2000)

- Icy Rainbow Ribbons
- Mint & Chip Fun Flock and Lavish Lilac Fun Flock

- All 3 Round Punches
- 3-D Foam Squares Variety Pack
- Medium Zots™
- White cardstock
Designer Tips: Use the brayer or your finger tips to firmly push the flocking into the adhesive. This insures a better stick. When working with a new set of Acrylic stamps I find it helpful to lightly buff the surface of the stamp with a sanding block. This step roughs up the surface of the stamp and allows the ink to adhere instead of beading up.
- Place the card with the fold on the left and cover with light green paper. Use the single swirl stamp to stamp a border across the top and bottom of the card. Cut a 3 1/2x5 rectangle of lavender floral paper and cut the top corners off to form a tag shape. Glue to the card front.
- Cut a 1 3/4x5 1/2 wide strip of striped paper, ink the edges and glue across the large tag shape. Adhere a swirly Double Stick border to a 3/4x5 1/2 strip of lavender paper. Flock the border lilac, return the excess to the jar, and glue the flocked paper strip to the center of the striped paper border.
- Cut a 2 1/4 wide square of adhesive sheet (keeping the protective covers on the front and back). Peel one side and adhere to light green paper and then remove the top. Sprinkle mint flocking over the square and return the excess to the jar. Stamp a bird image at the center and the chain border around the edges. Let the ink dry for a few minutes then cut the square from the green paper, leaving a 1/8 wide border around the flocked square. Mat again on white cardstock, leaving a 1/8 wide border. Secure pink brads at the corners and foam tape over the border.
- Hold the blue grosgrain and sheer white ribbons together to tie a bow. Glue to the top of the tag with a Just Because cut out under it.
- Inside the card: Glue the remaining lavender floral border paper to the bottom of the card inside back. Stamp a branch with birds nest flush with the card fold. Foam tape the Thinking of you cut out over the border.

He had seen a photo of a well in a magazine we get, called Gun and Garden no less---horrible title, wonderful magazine, and decided he'd like the challenge of painting it, he added the fairies and made it magical. But when he put it over the fireplace it looked lonely, something about the scale of it wasn't right, and as I lay stretched out on the couch studying it I told him that what it needed was 2 small thin paintings, one for each side. So that's what he did, he painted an old rusty water pump for one side and an old water can for the other. Altogether they look fantastic.

User review on Toyota Platinum Etios written by Bhavna Mishra on 12 May 2015
Bhavna Mishra's review on Toyota Platinum Etios JD
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 8500
- Pros: Great looks and fantastic pickup
- Cons: Dashboard and the seat quality could improve
If you are looking for a stylish car, which can offer you great style at a reasonable price, go and get yourself a Toyota Etios. I purchased it last year, and really love it overall. It has comfortable seating, and the mileage that is gives on the highway is about 22 kms, which is pretty good. In the last 1 year, I have driven almost 9000 km, which proves that I really enjoy driving it. The AC gives a good cooling effect, and the power steering is quite smooth.

Cement in Kenya is available in strengths varying from 32.5, 42.5, 52.5 and 60. This describes the strength that the cement should provide after 28 days after casting.
Structural engineering design of the concrete mix further ensures that the concrete strength that is needed is eventually achieved through the mix ratios of cement, sand and gravel.
Cement is also classified as N for Normal curing time and R for Rapid curing time. The classification is clearly labeled on the cement bag.
On the Dangote cement bag above, you can see the 42.5 R marking classification meaning the strength is 42.5 and its rapid curing.
The Savannah cement bag above shows its a strength of 32.5 and Rapid curing.
A4architect.com can supply Savannah cement in bulk to developers all over Kenya at wholesale prices.

Recent purchases from Essence Cosmetics have persuaded me to do a one-brand Eyes of the Day look with Essence products. I created this fairy-esque Candy look, just in time for Hallowe'en, using some palettes and Essence eyeliner. It is my experience that the products I used wore all day without any noticeable fading until the 8-9 hour mark.
In my crease, I used the very pigmented orange blush shade called Peach Babe from the Essence "How To Make Your Face Wow" Palette.
On the lid, I applied the violet/purple shade from the Essence All About Candies Eyeshadow Palette.
The jet black eyeliner I used was the Essence Eyeliner Pen in 01 Black
Under the black eyeliner I applied the Essence Effect Eyeliner Pencil in Steel Smurf (intense aqua blue)
The mascara used is the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara in Black
I think this look is quite appropriate for the weekend, a regular day (assuming you don't work anywhere very formal), and even a Hallowe'en girly look (maybe even Easter!).
