An R rated comedy in the summer with two endearing leads is usually a recipe for success. Relating it to the technology of today is a good way to make it relatable on a ground level. Sex Tape sees itself as a wild and crazy sex romp but often falls flat, never taking advantage of the R rated concept, its leads or supporting characters. What it ends up with is a rather boring tale with only snippets of what it could have been if it was able to get out of the gates.
The story starts off as Annie as a professional blogger (Cameron Diaz), types in her blog wondering where the spark in her marriage to Jay (Jason Segel), went after 10 years and two kids. So they decide to engage in a three hour sex marathon while using The Joy of Sex as a template, taped by their iPad. But Jay soon forgets to erase it as it synchs to iPads he gave out as gifts to friends and family. They soon go on a mission to find and destroy the iPad's before it's too late. It's an interesting enough concept, using the newest technologies as a backdrop for a crude rom-com in the 21st century. But it never went all out like it wanted and needed too, never allowing itself to immerse in the ridiculousness that often permeates in movies like this. It held back too much, just when it was getting funny. Then it stops and the process starts all over again. The inconsistency made it hard to be engaged as laughs were too far and in between. The pairing of Diaz and Segel made for some great chemistry but not enough to hold the film together. But their relationship felt like it was on autopilot too much. You waited for something else to happen but it never came.
I like Cameron Diaz as she plays a comedic character very well. I loved her performance in Bad Teacher for its brashness and unapologetic dark humor. She went all out in that role and played off well from the material. Jason Segel is always funny as a schlubby straight man like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but he feels uninspired here although he does appear to give it his all in Sex Tape. Best friends to Annie and Jay are married couple Robby (Rob Cordry) and Tess (Ellie Kemper). They had some funny parts like you would expect from supporting characters with some off the wall tendencies. The laughs they provided made it easier to sit through overall, as the standard crazy friends. But they can only do so much with the material given so they fell flat too. Hank (Rob Lowe) was the only surprise provided as the head of a corporation that wants to buy Annie's blog. It was a genuinely hilarious scene as he imbibes in drugs while listening to thrash metal around paintings of him depicted as animated classics. So much of it made no sense given that the rest of the movie wasn't as funny as this. It's what it should have been, random acts of bizarre hilarity. But it's over and you wish you could go back.
I really like the director Jake Kasdan's previous work. I loved the incredibly underrated Orange County, Walk Hard, the criminally unseen The TV Set and was surprised at how funny Bad Teacher is. That his latest effort is such a misfire is a major disappointment since he can do so much better. He has shown that he can provide stellar comedic performances and has a great knack for absurdity, chaos, spoofs and satire. It's rather surprising how tame Sex Tape is compared to his other films, like oil and water. His work often goes underrated so I hope he gets another vehicle to show how funny and original he can be. Knowing who the screenplay was written by is even more depressing. Jason Segel not only starred in Sex Tape but also wrote it alongside Nicholas Stoller and Kate Angelo. Jason is a very talented writer with past hits like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Muppets and The Five-Year Engagement. But everything here felt so very tepid as the jokes and gags had no consistency. It needed more as the jokes provided weren't enough to counterbalance and complement the crude premise. Strange that he has a proven track record as a writer alongside Nicolas Stoller in previous films which I all found to be hilarious.
There was just enough nakedness shown without revealing any privates. Cameron Diaz still looks great after all these years. The actual sex tape was funnier than the whole movie with Diaz and Segel going all out with physical and sexual humor. It was shown in the end in a Hangover style reveal so it at least left me laughing as it ended. Ironically it's not the most bizarre sex scene Camron Diaz has done as The Counselor is proof of that. The beginning also had a funny sequence as Annie traces back how she and Jay met in her blog and how much sex they had. Throughout the whole movie, there was only three sequences that were notable and funny; the beginning, middle and end. The rest was really a waste. Not even an uncredited cameo from a comedic juggernaut could have helped this meandering story. Annie and Jay break into an online porn sites server in an attempt to stop it from reaching the web when they are approached by the owner. He endlessly rattles off various porn sites at them in an attempt to figure out who their working for. It goes on for much too long, ruining the joke.
Other elements didn't make much sense like when they got blackmailed. It was rather illogical how it would even work given who it was. What also bothered me is how easily the issue could have been resolved within 30-40 minutes if anyone bothered to look anything up. Ignorance to technology and our blinded devotion to it can be something that could be really intriguing, but this was the wrong way to present it here. It just felt too dumb where Annie and Jay are doing a tirelessly manual solution to a digital problem. The separate elements didn't mesh well at all with the more inane parts of the movie. The concept of the straight married couple doing crazy things, dwelling deeper into acts of depravity was already done this year extremely well with Neighbors. That worked because the idea of intrusive neighbors invading a regular neighborhood is a well honored story line. Not to mention that film goes all out with its absurdity, feeling like an R rated raunchy comedy with genuine heart.
Sex Tape is never as smart, funny or raunchy as it thinks it is. And there is nothing worse than that for any movie. It flounders where it should have flourished, only showing snippets of funny moments. It would be accurate to call it a major tease given the pedigree of the people working in front of and behind the camera. It's not the worst movie out there but it is far from the best so I guess it has that working out for it. It will more or less be forgotten until it hits cable late at night, where nothing else is on. Soon enough it will be blanked from the audiences memories, much like the sex tape itself. Two and a half sex marathons out of five.

Musing Mondays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
What are you most excited about reading, right now? (can be a book you're currently enjoying, or a book that's yet to be published, etc.)
Oh boy, this is a hard one. I have SO many books that I can't wait to read, but I think I'm going to venture off the YA path on this one and go with Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling. If you're not familiar with her, she plays Kelly Kapoor on The Office.
I found out last night that she's going to be at a local Barnes & Noble doing a signing next month, so I'm really looking forward to that too!

NSW players are today yet again dealing with that empty feeling of knowing they could so easily have beaten Queensland last night ... if only things had gone their way. What if?
Two controversial refereeing decisions both went against Ricky Stuart's men with centre Michael Jennings sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes after referee Matt Cecchin singled him out for a first half all-in brawl and Queensland centre Greg Inglis awarded a try despite spilling the ball over the tryline.
The two decisions forced the Blues on to the back foot and they were unable to recover.
6min: After a frenetic start, a knock-on from prop Matt Scott allows the Blues to enjoy a full set in Queensland's half. On the last tackle a kick from Robbie Farah is picked off by Akuila Uate, who scores the first points of the 2012 State of Origin series. Todd Carney misses the conversion.
11min: Panthers centre Michael Jennings throws his body on the line to stop Queensland prop Matt Scott from escaping the in-goal to give the Blues a repeat set of six.
23min: World War III breaks out after Maroons prop Matt Scott throws the football at Blues lock Greg Bird's head. NSW centre Michael Jennings is given 10 minutes in the sin bin when the dust clears for steaming in and throwing loose jabs at anyone standing near him. Mitchell Pearce squares off with Maroons giant Sam Thaiday.
26min: After just three minutes without Jennings, the Blues finally crack when Billy Slater dances his way up the outside of Blues centre Josh Morris to put winger Darius Boyd into an open corner to give the Maroons a 6-4 lead.
40min: A penalty against Greg Bird for a dubious lifting tackle gives the Maroons field position, which they use to score again through Darius Boyd after Johnathan Thurston bamboozles the Blues right edge defence with a cut-out ball to the wing. Thurston successfully kicks the penalty to give Queensland a 12-4 half time lead.
42min: Out-of-form duo Michael Jennings and Jarryd Hayne combine to get the Blues back into the game when Hayne tips a Mitchell Pearce bomb into the hands of Jennings, who runs to the line to cut Queensland's lead to 12-10. Maroons fullback Billy Slater was again to blame for spilling the ball towards Hayne.
48min: Melbourne Storm duo Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk combine to slice through the middle of the NSW line before Sam Thaiday loses the ball two passes later when Hayne makes a try-saving tackle with a desperate lunge at Thaiday.
52min: Carney misses a penalty and a golden opportunity to level the scores at 12-12 after Ashley Harrison is penalised for holding down Blues lock Greg Bird.
59min: Sam Thaiday grounds the ball inside the Queensland in-goal just fractions of a second before Blues fullback Brett Stewart dives on an attacking chip kick from Jennings during a streaking break down the Maroons' right side.
73min: Queensland are awarded a controversial try to centre Greg Inglis after the Rabbitohs star appears to lose the ball over the tryline. Video referee Shaun Hampstead rules in Queensland's favour, judging NSW hooker Robbie Farah deliberately knocked the ball out of his hands with an out-stretched right boot. It proves to be a knock-out blow the Blues do not recover from.

Naismith piles on misery
Everton 3-1 Chelsea
Chelsea have made an unexpectedly terrible start to the season but credit to their supporters for maintaining a sense of humour.
"We are staying up," they chanted as their side slumped to a third defeat in five games. Things are probably not quite that bad, though as the league table reveals Chelsea to be the first team to concede a dozen goals this season, this is not a situation anyone anticipated.
A sizzling hat-trick by Steven Naismith, who was not even on the pitch at the start of the game, earned Everton a deserved victory in a fixture they lost 6-3 last season. Everton were excellent without being scintillating.
The side that hit six here last season appears to have disappeared. Despite the wealth of attacking talent at Mourinho's disposal Chelsea might not have got on to the scoresheet at all but for an opportunist strike from a defensive midfielder.
The game came crackling to life a quarter of an hour in when John Stones overhit a back-pass to Tim Howard. The goalkeeper dealt with it comfortably enough but it resembled a shot and a Stones own goal against Chelsea would have been some story.
Within a minute Everton had taken the lead at the other end through a delightful combination of two of their squad players. Brendan Galloway, enjoying a run at left-back through injury to Leighton Baines, whipped in the most inviting of crosses that Naismith could hardly miss. The substitute, on after eight minutes when Muhamed Besic pulled up with a hamstring problem, met the ball perfectly on the six-yard line for a header that flew past the Chelsea No2 goalkeeper, Asmir Begovic.
If that was a bright start the afternoon got steadily better for the home side in the next few minutes. Begovic had to be alert to keep out a header from Arouna Kone after Seamus Coleman crossed from the left, then the goalkeeper saved again when James McCarthy sent in a shot from distance.
Within five minutes of the opening goal Naismith and Everton had a second. Good work by Kone and Romelu Lukaku by the right touchline led to Ross Barkley finding Naismith in space in the centre of the pitch, and spotting an opportunity the Scot beat Begovic with a cleanly struck left-foot shot that found the goalkeeper's bottom left corner.
With Coleman winning his sometimes physical duel with Diego Costa, Stones exuding grace under pressure as he calmly took on and beat opponents in his own penalty area and Mourinho subjected to chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning", Everton fans probably suspected it was too good to last.
So it was. After a largely unproductive first half-hour, Chelsea suddenly pulled a goal back with a bolt from the blue from Nemanja Matic. Everton could have closed the midfielder down, but as he was at least 30 yards out there seemed no danger. Matic changed that perception with one imperious swing of his left boot, sending the ball arrowing into Howard's top corner. From a position of complete dominance, Everton spent the remainder of the first half on the back foot.
Lukaku had a chance to restore a two-goal cushion early in the second half but shot straight at Begovic, who needed two attempts to claim the ball and was aided by a surreptitious touch from Terry that the officials generously chose not to interpret as a back pass.
Coleman's withdrawal with what appeared to be a hamstring injury will cause Martin O'Neill some concern, but it didn't matter yesterday as Chelsea had by then misplaced the energy they managed to demonstrate in the period before half-time.
They were even able to bring on Aaron Lennon and Ramiro Funes Mori before Naismith had made the game safe with his third goal, slotted home from a narrow angle from a pass by Barkley. A right-foot shot made it a perfect hat-trick and completed a perfect Everton afternoon..

Jesuits celebrate Feast of St Ignatius Loyola
Jesuits throughout the world are celebrating the Feast of the Founder of the Society of Jesus today: St Ignatius Loyola. His life, his faith and his dedication to the Gospel and the Church are being recalled in Jesuit schools, parishes, missions, communities and other works in more than 100 countries - not just by the 20,000 Jesuit priests, brothers and scholastics (Jesuits preparing for priesthood) who belong to the Society, but also their thousands of lay co-workers.
In Britain, there are three special Masses being celebrated as part of the St Ignatius Day festivities. Alumni and alumnae will be gathering at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London, at 6pm, for their annual Mass, which will be followed by refreshments. Thechurch itself is in the middle of celebrations for its 160th anniversary. Meanwhile, at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, the Northern alumni/ae Mass will be celebrated at St Peter's Church - also at 6pm and also followed by refreshments.
Sacred Heart Church in Edinburgh launches its 150th anniversary celebrations on St Ignatius Day as well. Cardinal Keith Patrick O'Brien will be presiding at the 6pm Mass which many representatives from faith groups, religious orders, civic life and elsewhere will be attending.
From today until 30 September, Sacred Heart will be staging an exhibition illustrating the history of the parish, together with the story of the Jesuits in Scotland from their first mission in 1541 to the present day.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - At most points of the 2005 PGA Tour season, Thursday's uncharacteristically cool first round at the MCI Heritage would have seemed practically spring-like.
At home in Australia, Peter Lonard might have mistaken the steady wind coming off the Calibogue Sound for heavy breathing.
But there was nothing relative about the first-round leader's start on Hilton Head.
Sixty-two at Harbour Town is always strong. And being in first is generally hard to beat.
Lonard overcame the difficult conditions that kept scoring largely in check Thursday, matching the lowest opening round in Heritage history and taking a three-shot lead at 9-under par. Despite starting and finishing his round with bogeys, Lonard posted the best round of his PGA Tour career, making 11 birdies and shooting 31 on both nines.
At minus-10 through 16 holes, he could have shot 59 with two more birdies and was on pace to tie the Harbour Town scoring record of 61 before a bogey on No. 18.
Like Lonard, Frenchman Thomas Levet played in the slightly calmer afternoon conditions and shot 64 to stay within two shots of the lead, while Darren Clarke, of Northern Ireland, carded a 65 in the morning wind that gusted up to 25 mph. Patrick Sheehan, who shot 66, is the only other player within four shots of the lead after the first 18 holes.
"I knew I was going all right because the boards are everywhere and you can see the boards,'' said Lonard, who birdied six out of seven holes at one point on the front nine and five out of six early on the back. "When I birdied the 15th hole, the little kid holding the scoreboard when we were walking said, 'Mr. Lonard, if that leaderboard is correct, you are leading the tournament.'
"I said 'Shhh, I don't want to know.' From then on, I definitely knew where I was.''
He just might have been wondering who he was.
There was not a lot in Lonard's background to foretell one of the finest rounds ever played at Harbour Town. He missed the cut with two over-par rounds in his only previous Heritage appearance last year and after a 2004 season when he missed the cut in 12 of his 23 starts, he has finished higher than 14th just once in 10 events this year.
After missing the Masters cut last week, he switched from the long putter he had been using for five years, going to a conventional putter and needing it only 24 times on Harbour Town's tiny greens Thursday.
"I putted so bad last week, I had a conversation with my caddie and he said, 'You can't putt any worse with a short putter, why not give it a go,'" said Lonard, who made three birdie putts of longer than 15 feet Thursday. "I holed a couple decent putts at (Nos.) 3 and 4 and my caddie is going 'What's going on?' And da, da, da, off we go.''
And he just kept going, tying for the lead at minus-7 after 12 holes.
A birdie at No. 13 put Lonard ahead and he went up by three shots after picking up shots at 15 and 16, where he had driven into the waste area left of the fairway. By that point, he had the attention of a growing gallery outside the ropes and those inside them as well.
"Like in baseball when a guy's throwing a no-hitter, you didn't know whether to talk to him or not,'' said John Cook, Lonard's playing partner. "That's one of the most impressive rounds I've ever played with. The course played as tough as I've seen it, maybe ever. I'm sure the course record wasn't shot on a day like this.
"He hit it great all day, he putted beautifully and he never really missed a shot. He deserved it.''
Until Lonard's round, Clarke looked like the only player who had figured out an unusual day at Harbour Town, when the temperature was roughly 20 degrees below Hilton Head's typical April's average.
Relying largely on knock-down shots to keep his ball underneath the wind, Clarke kept the ball close to the hole all day. Of his eight birdies, seven came on putts of 8 feet or shorter. The other was on a chip-in.
"All in all, I just had a very solid day and gave myself lots of chances and took advantage of most of them,'' said Clarke, who hit 12 of 14 fairways and birdied all three of Harbour Town's par 5s. "I've been playing sort of OK this year, so I felt as if I'm capable of putting scores together. So it was nice to go out there, especially on a difficult day like this and control the ball and shoot a good number.''
Of course, difficult is a comparative term on Tour this season.
And even for players who didn't go up the leaderboard, Thursday moved faster than most rounds in a year when nine of 15 Tour events have been interrupted by rain.
"It's a better start than we've been getting this year,'' said five-time Heritage champion Davis Love III of Sea Island, who is seven shots back at 2 under. "At least we're going to finish this round.''

The TV is my shepherd, I shall turn it on.
It makes me to lie down on the sofa. It leads me away from the Scriptures.
It ravishes my soul.
It leads me in the paths of ignorance and violence, for the sponsor's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of my responsibilities of my family
and my Creator, there will be no interruptions, for the TV is with me.
It's cable and its remote, they comfort me.
It prepares a commercial before me. It plants lies within my mind.
It anoints my head with materialism. My coveting runs over.
Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life
and I shall dwell in the house watching TV and its propaganda forever.

The one entry that hit home for me the most came from a reader submission:
Oh - and to the 50+ something geezer who physically hauled my friend (25 yr old law graduate) on to the dance floor at Alfa, against her continuing protestations, so that I actually had to push you away from her so she could go back to her table, at which time you smirked at me and said, "Oh, is that not allowed?": NOT ALL CHINESE GIRLS ARE PROSTITUTES, YOU PATHETIC LOSER!! Go back to the all-service massage parlour where at least the girls get paid to put up with you!
The gist of this story is something that I've unfortunately witnessed too many times. When friends from the US, or even other parts of China, visit Beijing, more often than not they will ask about a visit to Sanlitun. I try to lead them away from this mistake, suggesting the Shichahai area or even making the long (for me) trip out east to NvRen Jie or DaShanZi. Unfortunately, sometimes the name Sanlitun presents too much appeal for them, and despite warnings, makes a trip to this hotbed of vice necessary.
Ultimately, what happens when my girlfriend joins us or one of these friends happens to be Chinese is a night spent dealing with (typically) ugly, (typically) way too old, and (typically) way too stupid foreign guys. First, it begins with the looks. Then, god forbid the girl, for whatever reason, ends up finding herself without the guys in the group around her, the wolves approach. When that happens, even if the girl speaks fluent English, for whatever reason these idiotic disgraces to the male race will pretend they can't understand her. Even if it doesn't get to this point, it is still so frustrating to see how these guys look at these smart (grad students, lawyers, doctors, etc) Chinese women and just think that if they are in Sanlitun, they aren't there just to have fun and drink with friends, but are prostitutes. After my last visit, I swore to myself that I wouldn't visit the bar scene there again and so far I've upheld that.
And mentioning the massage parlour brings back all the stories I've heard from innocent blind massuers who end up with a drunken foreigner who for whatever reason believes that all massage parlours are "full service" and ends up inappropriately throwing himself at a blind girl.
To the women who write that site, the guys of Modern Lei Feng support you and your cause.

Fine-Tuning the Lowly Sprint Retrospective
Retrospectives don't get the respect they deserve, compared to the other elements of agile work. By comparison, they're right-brained and touchy-feely. And even though I consider them a load-bearing wall of agile, weak retros aren't felt nearly as quickly as failures in commitments, quality & technical debt, or user feedback. But they are essential to long-term team health, and maintaining and growing your way of working even in a changing context.
A Retrospective-Technique Library
Today I was coaching some ScrumMasters about the retrospectives they're about to lead, and I ran across an excellent article by Ben Linders on InfoQ, "Why Do Teams Find It Difficult to Do Retrospectives?" I encourage you to read it, and follow the included links. There are a lot of good ideas to help your retrospectives fulfill the last principle in the agile manifesto:
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
Another excellent source of retrospective techniques is Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen. They offer a five-step retrospective plan that keeps facts, insights, and actions from running together, and activities to help the team with each step.
The Basic Formula, And Adjustments
But sometimes it's good to get back to basics. We spent our prep time today on the minimalist retrospective formula:
- What went well?
- What went badly?
- What shall we change?
Here are some ways we came up with to fine-tune it.
Encouraging a forward, action-oriented perspective
If your team is prone to dwell on the past rather than improve for the future, rephrase the questions:
- What should we keep doing (or do more)?
- What should we stop doing (or do less)?
- What should we start doing?
We thought of several other alternate wordings—you can do the same.
Hearing all voices
If you aren't sure you're hearing from everyone because of more and less dominant team members, especially on a bigger team, start the process with, "I'd like everyone to take the next 15 minutes to write down three items for each of the three questions." That will let the introverts work the way they work best, by gathering their thoughts first. Then go around the room and let each person read out their list in turn, keeping a merged list on the board.
Making it safe
If you think that people might withhold information out of fear, add some anonymity. For a small team, collect the lists and write them out on the board yourself. For larger teams, have them work in triplets to merge their individual lists, and then have one person from each triplet read out.
Adding focus
If there's a particular subject that you believe deserves special emphasis, shine a light on it. Sometimes a flashlight is enough. "As you're writing down your items, spend at least a little time thinking about how well we handled the Definition of Done in the user stories and the conversations with the product owner and subject-matter experts she recommended."
If the particular subject needs a searchlight, separate it. "Make a separate list of 'keep doing, stop doing, and start doing' when it comes to the build environment. That seems like it's been a source of frustration."
Helping your team follow through
Finally, to keep retrospectives from reverting from Lessons Learned to Lessons Observed (and repeated), write the action items—not too many!—on special cards and display them where you hold your daily stand-ups. Keeping them in sight is a good way to help people keep them in mind.

2008 bails out the Word of the Year
For the first time in three years, Merriam-Webster Online's Word of the Year (bailout) is rooted in the news rather than pop culture. In 2007, it was w00t, a word that expresses video-gamer joy. (W00t's two o's are represented by zeroes, which I typed in but look pretty much like o's in the blog's font, apparently.) In 2006 it was truthiness, Stephen Colbert's word for his own version of the truth. Previous Words of the Year include integrity (2005), blog (2004), and democracy (2003). The Word of the Year is kind of a gimmick, but I thought w00t and truthiness were kind of out-there picks. Of course, debating the merits of the word is part of the fun.
M-W doesn't make it clear how it picks the Word of the Year, though it implies that the intensity of people searching for it on MerriamWebster.com has something to do with it:
Bailout, defined in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition as "a rescue from financial distress," received the highest intensity of lookups on Merriam-Webster Online over the shortest period of time.
Here's the top 10 list for this year, which included several from the presidential election and the economic crisis:
- bailout
- vet
- socialism
- maverick
- bipartisan
- trepidation
- precipice
- rogue
- misogyny
- turmoil
What do you think the Word of the Year should be? Nominate any of the above, or your suggestions, in the comments.
Thanks to the Editrix for bringing the Word of the Year to my attention.

As an affiliate of a cruise ship company that offers a 15% commission, we recommended to a friend that he place his order through our affiliate link. We were credited only 1% - $20 instead of $300!
We rechecked the published commission offer posted on the commission company's (CC) website. On the merchant's page, its description states "... earn 15% to 25% of the total commission generated on each sale!". Yet on the same page in "Action:Sale" section, it says the commission is 15% fixed. So we figured we were entitled to at least a 15% commission.
We called the CC to ask why we only received 1%. The CC rep said that there must be an error and said that he'd call the merchant to check into it and get back to us. We're still waiting...
In the mean time, we told our friend to cancel his order since we didn't receive what we were promised. Our friend called the merchant and told them the problem and the merchant said that we, the publisher, didn't understand what was really offered - 15% of the merchant's commission (as they're just an agency), not 15% of the entire cruise price!
Do we have something to complain about or are we naïve? What would you recommend we do, if anything?
(BTW, our friend was told that there would be a $50 cancellation fee to cancel the cruise.)
Thanks for your thoughts!

Yeah, 15% of the agencys fee is also WAY low. Most of these places that book cruises (like TravelNow) split the revenue 50-50 with the affiliate.

I think it's one of those that when you read to fast, it says one thing, but when you read it again, you see what it means.

quote:
Earn 15% to 25% of the total commission generated on each sale.

It doesn't say "Earn 15% to 25% of the total sale." But doing the math, it looks like they receive 7% from the cruise line, then disperse 15% of that as (to best describe it) a 2nd tier commission.
As I understand it, alot of travel merchants use this setup with booking engines like TravelNow, and pay a commision on what they receive.Scott

Just a case of misinterpretation. You make 15% of the commission so if their commission is not high, your 1% seems right. Shameful to get such a small share of the price....

Good catch, I see that sometimes we must reread the terms and not just join a merchant with-out understanding what it's the real commission.
Thanks for posting the merchant's name since I am affiliated with them, at least now I will know how much I will get paid there.

Thanks Jim for suggesting TravelNow. Their affiliate agreement states "You will be entitled to 1.5% of the gross amount, exclusive of tax charges, insurance, service fees, and customer adjustments, charged to customers based upon consumed cruise product bookings and on which IAN receives commission."
So I guess the 1% commission is in line with the industry standard if IAN's 1.5% (less taxes, fees, etc) is the standard.
It stings that I got taken by clever wording. But knowing that this is the standard makes it hurt less. I now know I need to be more vigilant in reading the fine print.

Just wanted to post a follow-up as I received a polite explanation from the merchant. Again, I admit that I was naive for not reading the wording more closely. Curious if you would have. Care to comment?
Reply from the merchant:

quote:
I am sorry for your confusion...
Our site spells it out...
"What You Get
For every cruise vacation purchase made from your site, you'll earn 15% to 25% of the total commission generated on each sale!"
The commissionable fare is the cruise fare only. Port charges and taxes are not commissionable. Usually, we receive 10 - 16% commission from the cruiselines. You are earning 15 - 25% of the commission received.
Commissionable fare is a common term used in the travel business. It is also common knowledge in the cruise business that the commission is based on the cruise fare only.
In this situation: cruise fare 1,370.52
port chges & taxes 475.94 NOT COMMISSIONABLE
As reported, the sale is $131.00 (this is 1370.52/131.00) which represents approx. 9.56% total commission. You received $19.68. This represents approx. 15.02%. This
complies with our statement.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

May 3rd, 2004, 02:14 PM #11
If you can make 5% from a cruise deal, you're doing well, I've one like that and it's an independent. Any network sign-ups offer from 1-3% and/or have a whole range of "this doesn't count - that dosen't count .." etc.

Recording Tips
AVR Forums
Live Webcam
Here are few little tips that we felt would help you choose the right studio and get the most for your money.
Before You Start Looking
1. Timing is an essential element of music. Practice with a metronome. In a band, all members should follow the drums, if the drummer is following the guitars, you've got a problem. Fluctuations in tempos and missed beats will make you sound unpolished and your recording will suffer.
2. In order to get good tone you need to have good tone. Many musicians expect the engineer to be like Scotty was with the Enterprise. Rarely are engineers miracle workers. A guitar rig that sounds bad in the studio will sound bad on tape.
3. Think about overdub, vocal, percussion, guitar and harmony parts before going into the studio. Recording only the parts you are able to play live may not necessarily give you the album sound you want. Guitar and vocal doubling, harmonizing and other production tools give you a more produced sound and may set your album or demo apart from others.
4. What sounds good at practice may not sound good on tape. That growl coming out of your guitar rig that rattles pictures off the walls, won't necessarily do so on tape. Make sure it SOUNDS as good as it feels.
Budgeting Time and Money
5. Figure on four hours per song minimum, 20 per song for album quality, and the time you'll spend, a compromise somewhere in between. Things come together in the mixing and mastering, be sure to allot adequate time for them.
6. Remember the mix down. Most bands and solo musicians have a limited amount of funds. Be sure not to allot all of your money for tracking. Leave yourselves with enough money to spend two hours mixing the first song and an hour to mix every song thereafter. It usually takes an engineer a minimum of an hour to dial drums in and get a rough mix happening for the first song. This must happen before you can start making the changes you want. Other factors can increase these rough estimates of time, these figures do however give you an idea of what to plan for.
Choosing the Right Studio
7. Know what you are looking for, mics, media, automation, analog gear, midi gear etc. In other words, although an SM57 may capture your guitar rig well, it won't give you a good vocal take. Ever wonder what the AAD on the back of a CD means? It means that that particular musical work was tracked using Analog Tape, mixed to Analog tape and mastered for and replicated on Compact Disc (Analog, analog, digital). The pro's are still using analog media formats, ask your engineer to explain the analog vs. digital pros and cons to you. What is automation? Well, automation acts as extra sets of hands for the engineer. After all, there are usually quite a few more faders than hands during a mix. Automation remembers fader moves and other functions and performs them for you. It allows you to fine tune your mix. Do you have a keyboard player? Midi gear allows you to save audio tracks for things that must be recorded to tape, while allowing you to write a rather unlimited number of keyboard parts. Midi can provide you with drum triggers for use with sampled drum sounds or simply provide you with a click track for better timing. Ever heard a demo that sounds lousy, like someone has covered the speaker with a blanket? Only the right gear will capture "the sound" you want.
8. Don't be a bottom feeder. Anyone who has ever answered the phone at a studio has heard the typical phone shopper call and ask "How many tracks do you have and what do you charge per hour?" Price shoppers invariably find that there is much more to a studio than that. There are garbage projects that are recorded in 64 track studios and masterpieces recorded in 4 track studios, so find out more before hanging up.
9. Don't be fooled by lots of tracks, it's not the size of your track sheet, it's how you lay the tracks. A three piece band doesn't need 64 tracks, that is, unless they want to play their parts multiple ways and choose the one they like best, and have a ton of money to spend on the time it takes to do so.
10. By all means, tour the studio first. Many bands find out that their first recording experience will be in a chicken coupe only after they've started loading their precious equipment onto a dirt floor. Check the studio out first, make sure the facility is in good condition and the engineer won't be loaded during your session.
11. Talk to the engineer you'll be working with. What is his/her personality like? Can you work with him/her? While a well mannered, personable engineer can be a Godsend, an ill-mannered one can be just the opposite.
In the Studio - Tracking
12. Make sure you are all playing the right notes. Tune your instruments between songs and takes. Replace skins and tune drums before going in to the studio. If you are tuning down, make sure your guitar is intonated to do so.
13. Never, never, never record a song you wrote the day before, that is, unless you want to make the studio a lot more money than you expected to. Record the songs you've played a hundred times and can hammer out quickly. This will give you the best results.
14. Stay in your own frequency. Ever wonder how it is that you can hear every single lick that a signed bass player plays, or why a guitar never gets buried? Part of it is writing, another part is the way tone knobs are set. What do you have when the bass player has deep tone and the guitar rig's bass knob is maxed? MUD!!! Enough said?
15. Bring moral support. If family and significant others want to come in and cheer you on, and they'll be more of a support than a distraction, why not?
16. Just as drummers should replace their heads, guitarists should replace their strings and woodwinds their reeds. Vocalists shouldn't smoke or drink for a day or so before coming into the studio. They should also stay away from caffeine as it tends to stiffen vocal chords.
17. Sometimes, people will spend hours mixing a song and find that when they get it home it sounds completely different. The problem is that they weren't familiar with the monitors in the studio. Often, studio monitors are an expensive compliment to the tuned listening environment many control rooms provide. What then is the problem? If you are not accustomed to the way a particular room or set of speakers sound, they will lie to you. An easy way to "final check" your mix before laying it down to your two track master is to listen to it in your car.
18. Reverb and delay don't fix performance mistakes. Never fix performance mistakes with production ideas.
19. Make more than one mix of all your tunes, try some drastic changes, much more or less of the rhythm section, soaring vocals, buried vocals, no effects, drastic effects, be as creative in your mixing as you were in your writing.
20. Often, band members describe changes they would like made by using ambiguous words like "FATTER" or "BIGGER" or "WARMER." This presents an obvious problem, these terms may mean something totally different to you than what they mean to the engineer. Bringing a reference CD with an example of the sound you want will ensure that everyone is on the same page and you get the sound you want.
21. Have an open mind. Your engineer has recorded a lot more projects than you have. If he/she has a suggestion, be willing to try it. For example, when kick drum tone just isn't happening, try taking the outer head off, you may be surprised with the result.
22. Never worry that you're hassling the engineer, after all, it isn't his project, it's yours. Many feel like they are imposing on the engineer by asking for "too many changes." Some engineers may seem put off by you making changes to "their mix." This is purely unethical. You're paying for it, so ask for what you want.
23. Never mix on same day you finish tracking, give your poor ears a day's rest. Ear fatigue is your biggest enemy when you are mixing.
24. Avoid instrument ego, usually the most domineering band member will have his or her parts loudest in the mix. Avoid having one instrument or section be the loudest part of each and every one of your songs.
We hope these suggestions have helped you. If you have any questions about these tips or you would like to talk to us about them, please call us at (925) 449-9820.

We all breathed a little easier after the second debate, for the president seemed to be his feisty self–quite engaged and responsive. He was actually fairly good on substance during the first debate, but his main problem, which persists, is in marshalling reasons and explaining his case. Of all things, he invoked the Dred Scott decision the other night–and then had trouble explaining its relevance. He had the item, but seemed to lose the larger argument in which it found its place. An even clearer illustration came on partial-birth abortion, where he could have put Kerry in the most difficult position if he had only come back at him in a relevant way. The situation is likely to return in the third debate, and so it's worth recalling.
Kerry said that this matter of partial-birth abortion was not so simple, for he wanted provisions made to insure the health of the pregnant woman. That is where the president could have made him look uninformed, deceitful–and callous. The president could have come back at him to point out:
1. The bill on partial-birth abortion did indeed make explicit provision for the health of the mother: The bill said that the law would not apply to any "abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself."
2. That provision went even further than the law was obliged to go, for as the American Medical Association testified during the hearings, a partial-birth abortion bore no relevance to any measure needed to advance the health of any woman.
3. The president could then have turned the tables on Kerry, with a question that is still worth posing: This gruesome surgery is rejected even by people who call themselves "pro-choice." The baby is mostly out of the birth canal; no one has any doubt about the human standing of the child; and yet the head is crushed, with the child killed. And so we may put the question to Senator Kerry: What kind of "health problem" would any mother have to face before she would find her remedy in doing something like that to the child she is carrying? If the danger is life-threatening, the law protects her choice. What illnesses short of that would the senator accept as a justification for carrying out this brutal act?
If the president simply had the core of this retort, it could be telling. If he had another moment, he could point out that even for pro-choicers there are some abortions that are beyond the limit. But Senator Kerry is not willing to regard any abortion as wrong, even when it is carried out on babies at the point of birth.

The Dialogue Has Begun: Our First Question and Answer Episode – Episode 11Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007
In this episode, "the dialogue has begun," so to speak, in that I respond to some listener feedback. Plus, I talk about the discussion on our Secret Language Of Feelings group on Yahoo.
Then I go a bit farther and share with you some interactions I have had with some other groups on the Internet. It has become very apparent that there is a need out there for people to begin to understand the difference between anger and frustration. I'm doing my best to teach them that:
Anger comes from the perception that things are unfair.
Frustration comes from the perception that what you are doing is not working.
Anger is a primary feeling and frustration is a secondary feeling.
Then I wrap it up with a bit of a discussion about how we can help our children to understand and use the Secret Language of Feelings. This turned out to be a bit of detailed discussion, so you might want to give it a listen two or three times.
What do you think about the difference between anger and frustration? Why do you think people get these two emotions confused? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

The Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ is a 1000-watt pressure cooker able to hold up to six quartz of solids and/or liquids. It comes with some pretty innovative features aimed around convenience, ease of use and efficiency. We'll get more into these features in a moment as we cover them thoroughly. The pressure cooker in question (and the company itself, for that matter) has built up a great reputation among customers, leaving them satisfied and well-fed. We'll cover these user reviews in detail, as well as the pros and cons of using this specific pressure cooker over others of its type. With so many factors to take into account (pressure cookers can serve many needs nowadays), it can be hard to find the best one for you. By the end of this review; however, you may just set your sights on the Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ. If you do, we'll go over ways to save money on the product as well.
If you don't think this Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ is for you then take a look at the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker here
The most heavily advertised and talked-about features are as follows:
- Cuisinart has improved their packaging as a means to ensure safe delivery of the pressure cooker
- The pressure cooker is capable of reducing one's cooking time of up to 70%
- It comes with a wide range of settings to ensure easy cooking of a wide variety of foods
- The handles will always remain cool to the touch during cooking
- It comes with a large, clear digital display and timer favoring easy readability
- The inside surface is made of a non-stick material and is safe for dishwasher use, making cleaning a breeze
- It comes with an accurate thermostat to ensure proper cooking temperatures for foods of all types
Main Review
The safe packaging helps to ensure buyers will receive a usable product upon delivery. While the Cuisinart brand has a reputation of immediately catering to individuals who get misplaced or broken deliveries, this will no doubt save time and hassle on the customer's end.
The most exciting feature is no doubt the reduced cooking time. While everyone likes a nice, home-cooked meal whenever they have the time, time is something many of us just don't seem to get enough of. Reducing cooking time by 70% is huge. For someone who usually spends 2 hours a day cooking, this equates to nearly an hour and a half saved on a day-to-day basis.
Another great feature is its vast array of cooking settings, which separates this pressure cooker from others, making it somewhat more multi-purpose. The pressure cooker, aside from standard pressure cooker functions, is capable of sauteing, browning, simmering and even simply just warming foods. Because if this, it can near replace every pot and pan in your house, and possibly even your microwave.
The cool-touch handles on the cooker are quite convenient as well. While simply grabbing a pot of any type with a cloth or oven mitt may be an easy solution in most situations, this simply serves as an added bonus.
With a large digital display, it's easy to follow recipes down to the T. There's no worry about overcooking your food from setting the wrong time. The buttons are easy to push and the numbers are easy to read; not much more to say here.
The non-stick, dishwasher-safe material within the pressure cooker is a huge plus. If you're getting a pressure cooker such as this to save time in the kitchen, this will save even more time. I like how easy it is to clean this pressure cooker.
You can't go wrong with the thermostat either. I have yet to experience or hear of others experiencing issues with cooking temperatures. This is obviously quite important in a pressure cooker.
The best feature about this product has to be either the cooking time or the versatility. We've already gone over the quick cooking times, so let's talk about how versatile this product is for just a moment. For those without a rice cooker, a giant soup pot or an out-of-order microwave who are also thinking about getting a pressure cooker, this particular model can replace all of the above appliances. Coupled with its quick cleaning and cooking time, you'll be able to make several meals in a day with this appliance alone.
The one issue I'll take up with the Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker; however, is its learning curve and the initial lack of compatibility with many recipes. Recipes which call for a specific cooking time (which applies to nearly all of them) will be tricky to make at first. While this will be less of a problem once you learn the difference in cooking times between this product and others of its type, it may be disheartening at first.
In the the end, if you have the patience for such a learning curve, this pressure cooker will only bring good things. It's convenient, it's versatile and it can save lots of space in the kitchen through reducing the need for a jumble of appliances. Even if you don't plan on replacing, say, your microwave, it can still act as a great backup for when other appliances go haywire. For this reason, it is definitely worth the money as it takes on the roles of several other appliances which cost nearly as much on their own. In the long run, you're only saving money with this product.
Saving Money On Your Pressure Cooker Through Amazon
Right now, those who buy this pressure cooker through amazon can get 46% off of the original price. Due to its popularity, it's safe to say this deal won't last forever; I'd recommend anyone in the market for a pressure cooker take advantage of it while they still can.
Customer Reviews
Listening to me ramble on is one thing (one might even call it anecdotal), but hearing what everyone has to say is much more consist. I did the hard part and summarized everything other customers are saying about the product. Here goes.
The Good
Cuisinart seems to be very willing to maintain their good reputation. It's not unheard of for them to replace the rare defective product with a new one free of charge and without hassle, even without a warranty. The versatility of the product is also praised by customers, but we needn't go over that anymore than we already have. The same can be said of its quick cook times. Basically, customers are saying this product does everything the makers say it will, which is definitely a good thing.
The Bad
One issue commonly spoken of is the pressure cooker's tendency to cook things too much or not enough. Once again, this can be conquered with a bit of patience. The fast cooking times can be a bit tricky to get the hang of at first. Also, a few people have mentioned that they've received defective products. While Cuisinart is great to those who call in with these complaints, its understandable that customers want a working product the first time. Overall, any issues with the product are easily fixable, though.
In the end, this has to be one of the best pressure cookers, especially for the price at the deal they're offering. I'd strongly recommend anyone in the market for a new pressure cooker take a serious look at this particular model.

Sales Tax Losses From E-Commerce
October 11, 2001
State and local sales tax bases are shrinking for three reasons, say researchers: the expanded use of untaxed services, sales tax exemptions and the growth of remote sales -- including e-commerce (Internet), and telephone and catalogue sales.
States have responded to the narrowing tax bases by raising tax rates, say researchers, although the extent of a direct relationship has not been carefully studied.
- For the average sales-taxing state, the tax base equaled 51.4 percent of the state's personal income in 1979, but had fallen to 42.0 percent in 2000.
- The median state sales tax rate increased from 3.25 percent in 1970 to 4.0 percent in 1980 and to 5.0 percent in 1990.
Using the most recent forecasts by Forrester Research, Inc., a new study focuses on the effect of e-commerce on the erosion of the sales tax base. Researchers estimated both the total e-commerce loss -- the sales tax loss on all Internet sales -- and the new (or incremental) sales tax loss --which excludes tax losses when other means of remote sales, such as telephone and catalog sales, could have been substituted.
- In 2001, there are expected to be $208.5 billion in e-commerce sales on which sales taxes due cannot be collected -- out of total Internet sales of $754.6 billion.
- That will likely cause a total state and local revenue loss in 2001 of $13.3 billion, of which $7.0 billion is due to e-commerce; the other $6.3 billion would have been lost even in the Internet's absence.
- In 2006, total and new revenue losses are projected at $45.2 billion and $24.2 billion, respectively.
- In 2011, the total and new revenue loss estimates are $54.8 billion and $29.2 billion, respectively.
