This course will run twice in 2017.
Monday 27 – Thursday 30 March 2017 (This course is now FULL)
or Monday 11 – Thursday 14 September 2017 (This course is now FULL)
Dr Anne Puetz (The Courtauld) and Clare Richardson (Royal Museums Greenwich)
This intensive course has been devised for people who would like to develop their interest in works of art and the discipline of art history. It is co-taught by an art historian and a conservator to give participants insight into art from different and complementary perspectives. The course is open to everyone, including students from the age of 16.
A Critical Survey of Periods and 'Isms'
We will take a close and critical look at the development of the various 'periods', 'movements' and 'isms' by which the history of Western art is conventionally structured, and at the alleged characteristics of the art they produced.
Looking at Art
Students will be introduced to some of the important conventions that governed the production of art in different historical periods and will examine how works of art are made. We shall look at objects from The Courtauld collections in a range of media, to show how the techniques and artistic strategies used to create them affect not only their appearance but also their meanings.
Critical Reading
We will look at the discipline of art history: how writers on art have analysed artists' work, and the changing criteria they have used to assess their creations. We shall examine the different methodologies that have informed the writing about art to the present day through a study of selected key texts and through a close look at an iconic work from The Courtauld Gallery's collection.
Interpreting Art
During the final day students will be introduced to the workings of public art galleries: not only how they collect and conserve works of art but also how they display and interpret them.
The course includes illustrated lectures and more informal sessions in front of works of art in The Courtauld Gallery and its Print Room and in The Courtauld Institute of Art's conservation studios (please note that the Print Room and the conservation studios are not wheelchair accessible). It aims to initiate students in the practice of close looking and in the habit of critical reading and thinking about art. We hope to stimulate debate and invite participants to ask questions and discuss ideas with the two course leaders and fellow students. The group will be limited to a maximum of 32 participants; it will be subdivided into two groups with a maximum of 16 students for in situ sessions in the Gallery, Print Room and conservation studios.
Provisional course timings: Registration on the first day from 9.30 am; classes to 4.30 or 5pm. 10 am to 4.30 or 5pm on all other days. There is a coffee/tea break in the morning and, if the group is at The Courtauld rather than out on a visit, another tea break in the afternoon.
For further information, please contact Dr Anne Puetz (Tues – Thurs) on +44 (0) 20 7848 2886 or email@example.com
Dr Anne Puetz is responsible for the extensive programme of non-degree art history courses at The Courtauld. She is a scholar of late seventeenth- to early nineteenth-century British visual culture, with a particular interest in the graphic arts, and the co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of the International Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art (RIHA Journal), 'When Art History Meets Design History' (March 2014). Anne was Research Curator of The Courtauld Gallery's groundbreaking Art on the Line: The Royal Academy Exhibitions at Somerset House 1780-1836 (2001) and has written on print collecting, the Royal Academy, artisanal design training, the Society of Arts, and on Hogarth and mid-eighteenth-century British design.
Clare Richardson is a paintings conservator whose research interests include painting techniques and pigment deterioration. She currently works at Royal Museums Greenwich as Head of Painting, Paper and Frames Conservation. Prior to this she worked at the Victoria and Albert Museum preparing works for the new European Galleries and working on Constable's oil sketches, notably the six foot sketch of The Leaping Horse. She contributed to the exhibition catalogue of John Constable: Oil Sketches from the V&A and is working on the publication of her research on the painting techniques of Rubens 1609-12.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Orion Pax, Oct 16, 2011.
This going to be interesting! Lol...
I don't have a wife and I think having my ex-girlfriend with a black guy would be ridiculous.
I would like to ask her, how ridiculous that is!
who cares what he wants lol
I am 6'3" and strong. You may be 6'5" but I know a guy who could have his way with you.
Do you even like women?
dark skinned bald head myabe al ight goatee.. smooth talle rthen me and well built
dark skin, hairy man and fat ,of course with huge tool and big balls full of cum
I would love my wife to be fucked by a tall black guy with a shaven/bald head,real black skin tone-blacker the better due to the great skin contrast would look real sexy.Watching the black cock pumping her pussey.
If you are in the UK you could just get a pure African then from say Nigeria. Many black Americans are in fact of mixed race, for example Malcolm X's maternal grandfather came from Scotland.
Thats what i would love her to be fucked by a black African or two.
Also, many black African men are actually quite short in height. I don't know if this is due to genetics or nutrition.
There is a lot of variation though, everything from the tiny pygmies in Congo to the giant Sudanese.
Other races around the world (i.e. people in India and China) tend to be smaller than white people.
My wife is only short.
Does she want to be fucked by a black man, or is it just you that wants it?
She say not but it would not take much,she likes to be chatted up.
She likes to be chatted up eh? What do you think of this article:
Her expectations are handsome, fit, clean, somewhat intelligent and considerate. She also likes dark dark black skin and a fairly thick cock.
Throw in a little dominant and you got yourself a good time!~
this type
someone who is dominant, and lets us cucks get involved too.
The most fun i ever had was when her boyfriend told me to spread her legs wide open while he had sex with her

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 The week kicks off with a triple whammy of drugs, sex, and booze. Drugs: Today The Seattle Times reported on Alaska's statewide ballot initiative to decriminalize marijuana. If passed, the astoundingly ambitious initiative would not only legalize pot for personal use, but would also grant amnesty to anyone with past marijuana convictions and convene a panel to consider restitution to those who have been imprisoned. Unsurprisingly, the measure is being met with passionate resistance from such folks as Alaskan Governor Tony Knowles and attorney Wev Shea, who worries, "If this passes, Alaska is going to basically be the drug haven of North America." Still, Alaskan political consultants say the measure has a good shot at passing--a prediction that pleases initiative supporter (and former pot convict) Mitch Mitchell, who offers a prediction of his own: "They're going to have to build another airport." Sex: Today the Associated Press reported on the polygamous community in southern British Columbia currently under investigation for trafficking underage American girls. Ex-members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have asked Utah authorities to investigate the movement of young girls between Arizona, Utah, and British Columbia; they say arranged marriages of underage girls are increasing because the sect's leader has predicted that the end of the world is near. Figuring largely in the investigation is Lenore Holm, a former church member who was declared a "tool of the devil" and instantly excommunicated when she opposed the arranged marriage of her 16-year-old daughter to a 39-year-old man with 10 kids. Church elders in Utah have denied the allegations, calling the claims the work of "apostates who distort the facts." Booze: Today Reuters reported on the dire prospect of the forthcoming worldwide tequila crisis. Mexican officials say up to 40 percent of the firms making Mexico's tequila may halt production due to a chronic shortage of agave, the cactus-like plant that is tequila's main ingredient. Worse, the agave supply is unlikely to recover quickly, as the plant needs up to 10 years to mature. Stock up, tequila freaks.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 After nearly two weeks of misplaced vaults, misprescribed cold medication, and occasional flashes of mystical brilliance, today the Olympics gymnastics competition came to a formal close, with a sexy, glitzy gold medalist showcase. On the uneven bars, the worship-worthy Russian Svetlana Khorkina made up for a less-than-perfect dismount with some adorably saucy butt-wiggling. On the high bar, fellow Russkie Aleksei Nemov followed his perfectly perfect dismount by offering a shy smile, then stripping to the waist--an image of such intense beauty and eroticism it will remain burned in our retinas forever. Bracketing these delicious moments were exhibitions of the bizarre contortionist/dance/gymnastics sport known as acro, highlighted by the performance of four burly Asian men who repeatedly threw a smaller Asian man with deformed arms into the air, which was so weird it made our face hurt.
··Also today: In front of an MTV audience, Al Gore put a big ol' hole in the "Gore is no different than Bush" argument by professing his support of both "legally recognized civic unions that have the legal protections of marriage" and immigration rights for international gay couples. Yeah, talk is cheap. But that's some cheap talk you'd never hear George Dubya utter.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 Today the Paris Guardian reported on the hottest new trend in Parisian gang weaponry: attack monkeys. "They're ultra-fashionable," said Didier Lecourbe, a police officer from the depressed Paris suburb of Aubervilliers. "Now that the authorities have cracked down on pit bulls, Dobermans, and rottweilers, apes are becoming the new weapon of choice." Imported illegally through Spain from Gibraltar, Morocco, and Algeria, the Barbary apes are known for their powerful limbs, sharp teeth, and short tempers; removed from their natural habitat, they can become highly aggressive, and their favored method of attack is to hurl themselves at people's heads. Police believe as many as 500 Barbary apes have been smuggled into France in the past two years.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 Today, a report of scrumptious P.R. work done by your local Bank of America. Way back on Saturday, September 16, the Broadway branch of the monetary monolith fell prey to a robber so stealthy that none of the customers noticed anything was amiss until a slew of cop cars screeched to a halt in front of the bank. Today, however, the innocent bystanders to the crime received a bit of recompense for their trouble: fancy chocolates wrapped in gold foil and laced with macadamia nuts. When asked by Last Days how the consolation candy tasted, lucky customer Rick Monce said, "Delicious!"
··Speaking of yummy treats: Today the FDA approved the use of the RU-486 abortion pill in the United States. The pills should be available in a month, granted that some Religious Right wacko doesn't gun down the entire Food & Drug Administration before then.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 Just when we thought life couldn't get any better, today Last Days had the supreme pleasure of stumbling upon the most entertaining half hour of television we've seen since Susan's murderous anti-Kelly rant on the final Survivor: VH1's Radical Recut, a pothead's dream show blending rock videos with an array of bloopers, ostensibly relevant to the song's theme. Highlights included No Doubt's Runaway Bride-styled video, "A Simple Kind of Life," spiced up with a collection of wedding-themed mishaps, including footage of a puking groom and a pair of Silly String-drenched newlyweds bursting into flames; and Kid Rock's "Cowboy," which found new life interspersed with a potpourri of horrible rodeo clown tragedies. Bravo, VH1!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 Today, a heartwarming story of crime, punishment, and charity in the University District. The scene unfolded at Aladdin's Falafel on the Ave, where our Hot Tipper Jay was eating lunch with his wife when he saw a "punk-ass kid in a goose-down jacket" strut in the door, dip his hand in the tip jar, and stuff a dollar in his jacket pocket. In a flash, the owner grabbed the kid from behind the counter, patted him down like the filthy thief he was, slammed the dollar back into the tip jar, and booted the punk-ass kid out the door. No more than two minutes later, Jay saw a homeless man peek his head in the walk-by window and ask the owner if he could spare anything. Without blinking, the owner took the same dollar out of the tip jar and handed it over. "Of course, I live in Bellevue, where compassion has to be imported," says Jay. "But this was the most touching thing I saw all week."
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 The week comes to a close in lovely Portland, Oregon, where Last Days traveled to catch the absolutely fabulous performance of Le Tigre, brainchild of the brilliant Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman, and the best thing to happen to electronic-ish music since the Magnetic Fields' Charm of the Highway Strip. Dear Le Tigre: Please bring your beautiful work to our ugly town.

Hi Everyone,
The first week of November we will be driving from Granada to Malaga where we will stay the night before flying to Lisbon. We have all day to make the drive. Any suggestions which route is best: inland or along the ocean? Anything really special to see along the way? Any small towns that are nice to visit along the route for lunch or just roaming about? Don't need to stay on main route, small back roads are fine also. Should we just head straight for Malaga and roam around there? Thanks for the suggestions...Michele

Granada to Malaga, most scenic route!
Hi Everyone,
Report Abuse
Consider taking in the Nerja Caves and the white cities along the coast on your way
Only about an hour is needed for the caves, time well spent
Report Abuse
From Granada head in the direction of Motril. When you hit the sea, hang a right and head for Malaga. Stop in Nerja for lunch and a stroll about.
Report Abuse
Frank...thank you for the info about the caves. We will pick up our car in Seville and visit the white villages on our way to Ronda. We plan to visit Pileta Cave. Do you have an opinion on which cave, Pileta or Nerja has the best cave paintings?
Thank you Bedar..will definitely stop in Nerja for lunch and a stroll. The aqueduct looks like a great photo op also.

From Granada, go down to the Med through the scenic A 4050 road known as the "Moor's Sigh" (Suspiro del Moro). http://www.holavalencia.net/2010/02/23/granada-el-suspiro-del-moro-and-almunecar/
The name of the road comes from the legenedary sigh of Boabdil, the last emir of Granada, when he at the mountain pass known as Puerto del Suspiro del Moro (The Moor's sigh pass), in 1492 for a last time had a look back upon the city now lost to the so called Catholic Monarchs. His mother shall then have said: "You cry like a woman over a city you couldn't defend as a man".
When you hit the coast, you are not far from the spectacular and huge Nerja Caves, lived people here 30 000 yeas ago: http://www.cuevadenerja.es/index.php?lenguaje=en
Have lunch in beautiful Nerja, and from here it's fourty mins driving to Málaga city. Photo of Nerja: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2622/3735908317_b3de6a8146_o.jpg
Plenty of fabulous restaurants in Nerja, from no fuss traditional Spanish to high end. A couple of lunch suggestions:
- Have the freshest fish and seafood in La Marina. You don't find much better traditional freidurias/marisquerías in all of Andalucia. Very popular and local atmosphere: http://www.guideofnerja.com/pages/gutierrez/marina_en.htm
- Go for the famous paella at Ayo's, right on the Burriana Beach. Eat as much as you like for 6,50€. Sunday lunch at Ayo's is a highlight of the week for many nerjeños, and on a Sunday it's not uncommon that they serve some 2000 plates of paella here: http://www.ayonerja.com/chiringuito_en.html
- Want high end? Go to Oliva or Fusion Food & Lounge.

If I was you and if you feel like getting off the beaten track then head for the sierra.
Take the A402. Some spectacular scenery.
The time allowed should be around 3 hours plus stopping time. Eat somewhere in like the town of Alhama de Granada.
Nerja is not very quaint the other side of the coin to this town is something like this: http://www.nerjatoday.com/nerjanews/2012/03/10/cooks-carriages-beaches-and-bars/
The very Spanish named Coach and Horses
It can be very tacky in places.

And plenty of genuine tapas bars in the old town in Nerja. Some of my favourites:

And perhaps go and see the close by "lost village" Acebuchal. http://www.spain-holiday.com/Frigiliana/articles/a-visit-to-el-acebuchal-the-lost-village
Like ribeira, I wouldn't recommend Coach & Horses, but I've had tasty English breakfast in El Rincon de Encarni in Nerja http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g315917-d3982087-Reviews-El_Rincon_de_Encarni-Nerja_Costa_del_Sol_Province_of_Malaga_Andalucia.html

Perhaps go to El Pimpi at night, an institution in town:
Here anything can happen:
And start the next day with chocolate con churros in Casa Aranda, one of my favourite cafes in all of Spain. Just off the fine Atarazanas food market: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187438-d1497404-Reviews-Casa_Aranda-Malaga_Costa_del_Sol_Province_of_Malaga_Andalucia.html

Thank you everyone...will definitely take the route south. So many great food options in Nerja. Probably tapas as we have a reservation at Hotel Villa Guadalupe in Malaga for dinner. Better get an early start...so much to see along the way...thanks again for all the ideas.

Nerja has always been crammed with the English and now by one Norwegian, Kimhe. We have never stopped there except for a bottle of water, whatever. But, this trip between Malaga and Almeria we're going to eat at La Marina which he has been touting for years ! Will let you know how good it might be.
Unhappily all towns along the coasts have been developed for tourism, Spain's biggest moneymaker. No more quaint, off-the-beaten-path places. Such is progress. Sure glad we traveled the coasts during the Dark Ages. Nevertheless, we like the coasts and will be seeking out the old road, N-340, for this trip, not the new motorway.

I am so glad to find this thread! I am planning a trip for next April to this area and am getting so much great info. Thanks to ALL of you!
Good luck with your planning michelle_d

<Nerja has always been crammed with the English and now by one Norwegian, Kimhe>
Nerja has seen it's fair share of tourism since the 1960's (after the discovery of the caves in 1959), but it has retained much of it's Andalucian small town charm, especially in the Old town. Here you find the best and most genuine tapas bars as well (see above).
But if you want to combine fabulous tapas with a stroll on nearby and famous Balcon de Europa, there is no better place than El Pulguilla. A great variety of seafood and meat tapas are grilled on the spot, and they come free with every glass of whatever in the bar area. Going back in September, and can't wait to have the squid, the conchas finas, the besugo, the lamb-skewer and take in the great atmosphere. Don't be put off by the cram packed conditions and noise here at lunchtime, very popular with the locals and service is efficient and friendly. A mystery how they keep track of who ordered what tapas with their drink...
If you want a <quaint, off-the-beaten-path place> close by, I can highly recommend Maro just outside Nerja and just below the caves. Beautiful little village with 800 people and some five laid-back bars and restaurants. Total relaxation in the little bar/restaurant om Plaza de las Maravillas.
Report Abuse
And Bedar, glad to hear you'll be stopping for a meal in La Marina in Nerja! I especially recommend the vieiras, the navajas, the conchas finas and they always serve a delicious and simple rosada frita here. You know what to expect, not a fancy place but no fuss and high quality. Order media raciones and shellfish by the unit to taste a good variety.
Their menu is very similar to more famous La Cueva in Torre del Mar, and the atmosphere is also much the same: http://www.freidurialacueva.es/carta.html

Hi Michele
We havent been to the Pileta caves, but it looks interesting. The Nerja caves came in above expectations for us, and in November I wouldnt expect big crowds in Nerja in case you decide to visit the city for lunch
Report Abuse
There are better and more authentic small towns in Andalusia then Nerja. Granted this town does not have the very high-rise developments associated with some other Spanish sea results, but it is still can have the very "expat/kissme quick/picture menus" feel to it.
I only pointed out one very small part of how the town is like this with the one photo. There are many more if you care to research the videos and photos of the town on-line.
Besides it does not fit in with the question for the most scenic route between Granada and Málaga.
Report Abuse
Kimhe, The problem with both Torre del Mar and Nerja is that they are so close to Malaga that one won't have time to build up an appetite for lunch. But, perhaps we'll stop in both places. We always have the taste and room for conchas finas !! Malaga is the only place to get them y hay que aprovechar !!!
Report Abuse
Yes, Bedar, for me conchas finas is in itself a very good reason to go to the Malaga region. Tasted them first time a late night in La Marina twelve years ago. Turned of course immediately into an addiction
ribeira, I never suggested that Nerja is a particularly "authentic" Andalucian small town today, but it has got a quite balanced mix of Andalucian small town feel in some parts together with most amenities that comes with a tourists destination. It's an old village/town, known as Narixa by the Moors from the 8th century. And this 1910 photo of Calle San Miguel (the old town down to the left) is very recognizable and tells a story of a town that was far from created by tourism: http://www.nerjatoday.com/nerjanews/2015/04/24/nerja-yesterday-in-1910/
And without much question, the A 4050 route from Granada down to the Med a little east of Nerja is scenic: http://www.holavalencia.net/2010/02/23/granada-el-suspiro-del-moro-and-almunecar/

BMW and PSA/Peugeot-Citroen will review their collaboration on small gasoline engines in September 2014, BMW chief executive Norbert Reithofer told Les Echos in an interview. According to Reithofer, the carmakers have yet to decide whether to terminate or extend the partnership, which is due to expire in 2016.
He remarked that BMW and PSA had considered various projects together but that none worked due to their "incompatible product renewal cycles." Reithofer has remarked that BMW no longer needs PSA's assistance since it is now developing its scalable engine architecture for three-, four- and six-cylinder gasoline as well as diesel engines that would allow it to keep costs at low levels.
Les Echos, citing a source close to the German carmaker, reported in September that BMW and PSA had decided against extending the engine partnership.
Once the collaboration expires, BMW and PSA will have to end a joint project commenced in 2002, when the carmakers inked an agreement to jointly develop and produce up to 1 million small gasoline engines.
The carmakers later added plans to build components for hybrid electric-gasoline systems. They unveiled the hybrid project in 2012 after PSA and General Motors commenced setting up a partnership early that year. The engines are being fitted in BMW's MINI brand and in PSA's mid-range vehicles.

Ryan Deiss Is My New Best Friend
Welcom to Ryan Deiss
There's this guy, Ryan Deiss. Actually, he may be a guy. He may be nothing more than an Internet persona representing a cabal of marketers loosely linked in a shadowy online structure of proxy servers and anonymous Clickbank accounts. I prefer to imagine Ryan as a well-groomed fellow casually standing in front of a very large mansion next to an extremely expensive automobile with his arm around a supermodel.
Ryan cares deeply about me. I may not be the only object of his affection, but in my world it's just him and me. Virtually every day Ryan sends me an earnest email teasing his latest Internet Money Making strategies. All I have to do is click on a link to learn the latest in traffic driving, affiliate marketing, and standing next to expensive cars with supermodels.
Ryan Contacts Me Daily
Every day I wake up to the promise of another email from Ryan. He rarely disappoints. Only infrequently does my InBox contain no message from Ryan Deiss. On those days, I somehow manage to muddle through my mundane life. I'm certain that Ryan was too busy standing next to his expensive luxury automobile to compose another email. He probably needed both hands to hold on to his supermodel, hence his typing ability was compromised.
Ryan Knows How To Write a Hook
A hook is a brief phrase designed to grab the attention of the reader. Strategic emails always include a stellar hook in the subject field. An email without a hook is like a Democrat without a special interest group: there's simply no purpose to it.
Ryan's hooks rate. They rock. His words grab me by the throat and coerce me into opening the body of his email. Regardless of how busy I might be, I cannot resist investing 15 seconds in his messages. The guy simply has mad skillz at writing email subject hooks. He may not be good at anything else, but he knows how to turn a phrase.
Here are a few hooks that Ryan has recently bestowed upon me:
- How to Legally "Tap" Gmail Accounts
- Done For You Membership Sites?
- Congratulations Kate Buck on FOX News!
- Missed You On The Call Today...
- [WEBINAR] 6K Optins - Are you insane?
- "Wicked Schmaat!"
- FW: Name Frank Kern's Book?
- 22,982 Jobs Available (Make Money This Week)
- 5-second Texting Shortcut? (you already do this)
- no market, no product, no website...
- Make $300 in 5 Minutes
- IMPORTANT: The wait is OVER! Explode your sales (NOW)...
- FW: a 19 yr. old made this?
- Mobile + Local = Paycheck
- Watch this YouTube video
- You, a Social Media Manager?
Wow. I'm exhausted from reading this list. Obviously Ryan has my best interests at heart. He wants me to succeed, usually in only 5 to 30 minutes.
Ryan Likes His Videos
Almost every email contains a link to a video. Ryan might need to brush up on his multimedia production techniques, or hire an intern who can use video editing software. His videos usually consist of plain text on a white background. The audio precisely matches the text: Ryan is reading the words to me. This work would not make Spielberg proud.
Every video includes a new and revolutionary and Incredibly Easy technique for extracting massive wealth from the Internet. Apparently the web is flush with cash and it's a simple matter to make it spill onto me. All I must do is watch a free video: secrets are revealed that way.
How Does Ryan Make Money?
I don't know how Ryan makes his money. He's always giving me free emails, free tips, free videos, and free plans. If he's found a way to get paid by sending out emails, he truly is a genius.
He never asks me for money. Perhaps he lives off the residuals of his videos, but probably not. I've seen YouTube clips made by 8 year-olds with better production value. I wonder if his supermodel has a trust fund: that would be disappointing.
Have You Worked With Ryan?
If you've invested in Ryan's strategies, let us know. We'd like to hear your stories of wealth and redemption. Tell us about your climb from mediocrity to crazy cash.

ha ha ha, an e-mail without a hook is like a democrat without a interest group, very funny. So do you ever take Ryan's advise?
I guess since Stan has taken a vacation, you do need a new best friend. We could pick from thousands of email friends. I like the ones with the strange names and they call me "dear". Mogo Ibi sent me one today!
Of course he makes money - the secret is....firstly, to have a secret - don't you want to know what that is? Of course you do ... well here it comes: You make money by getting suckers to part with their money. How do you do that? By promising they will make money - everyone's making money telling everyone they will make money - around and around we go - it's so inventive - don't you just love it Nicomp? I do (oh really) It's like what they used to call a broken record (now CD, I suppose) - people used to throw them away because they would repeat over and over, the same thing over and over - they were considered to be annoying rather than music but not anymore! Make money online is like a broken record. You hear about it on the net over and over and now people like Ryan Deiss come along and start repeating the broken record over and over not realizing they are supposed to throw it away! Really weird attitude when you think about it!
You're so lucky, nicomp, to have a guy like Ryan so deeply interested in your welfare. I'm almost positive that one of his upcoming emails will share all the details of getting rich really quick for just a very small down payment. Look for it soon.

Sporting two wind turbines, nearly 850 solar panels and a geothermal system burrowed 550 ft. into the ground, Walgreens on Thursday celebrated the official opening of what the retailer believes to be the nation's first net-zero energy retail store, anticipated to produce energy equal to or greater than it consumes.
Walgreens, together with Chicago-based solar developer SoCore Energy, announced on Wednesday that they will build more than 200 new solar installations at Walgreens stores throughout California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York.
Officially celebrating its 100th solar power system installation in Mason, Ohio, on Friday, Walgreens said that it is on track to tout more solar installations than any other U.S. retailer.
Fresh & Easy has installed solar electric systems from REC Solar at stores in the Phoenix area.
Walgreens on Friday helped launch the nation's first privately funded and comprehensive electric vehicle charging network with an initial station at the Walgreens drug store at Belt Line Road and Montfort Drive in Dallas.
In an effort to extend its environmental stewardship, Walgreens stores in the Houston area soon...

We used First Years breastflow when they would take a bottle. In the beginning though we used the disposable nipples from the hospital over the tiny Medela pump bottles. We needed a nipple that was easier to suck out of since they were so bad at eating. Once they mastered that, we tried a bunch of different ones and they liked the first years ones. Each kid seems to be different as to their preference if they are BF and taking a bottle. You might have to try a few.

Paper Love - Poem by Thomas Duncky
Come unto me so slim
for i give you my heart
I seek you day and night
and slave for you with all my might
If i stuck you
Would you get stuck on me?
Do you abandon a soul for its intentions?
Or you rush to one's labours' pains
It's been years and years
since i held you in my arms my dear
rage comes in between my tears
as i sit down and wonder
listening to the sad song in my ears
Maybe we are not meant to be together,
Or maybe you've gone from me forever?
I gave you more than sweat
I gave you love, i gave you me
The ultimate sacrifice i could give
But alas, promises you can't keep.
Now am torn and sick
Mending broken feathers of my hope
A hope barely hanging by a lope
Who sells souls to you?
For many call you the devil yet they walk with you.
I know you to be innocent, loving and caring
You raised every soul that walks the earth now
But why you don't come my way i keep myself asking.
You took away my soul
And paid me with sorrow
I dared call you when I needed you the most.
But you made a fool of me
All my friends and adversaries rejoice that i lost
all the battles i fought in vain
all the work i laboured with pain
But i cover these scars with shame
And keep moving as if unwounded
Why are you so mean, paper slim?
Why does my labours your eyes not see?
Maybe blinded by light you don't even see
that tomorrow is always much beautiful than today is.
Paper thin, oh dear me, my only begotten!
Can i still count on you as i trod on?

Two of my favourite plolines rolled into one. Picard playing Dixon Hill and a holodeck malfunction. This is the first example to grace our screens. What works very well here is that we actually have a plausible danger hanging over the Picard, Data and Bevs. With the history expert dying, there is a real fear that the holodeck characters will harm our protaganists. Though it doesnt happen, only right at the end is the threat gone with the anataganists suffering a most unpleasant fate! The ticking clock of Picard required to give the welcome speech to the alien race is a great device to keep the intensity level high.
Picard and Bev in costume and in "character" is one of the best parts of this episode, but Data part wins hands down!
A great episode.

Hastings P.E. Teacher Headed to D.C.
This will be Becky Hamik's second trip to Capitol Hill where she'll be advocating for a law that would open up more opportunities for school districts.
She says the law known as the PHYSICAL (Promoting Health for Youth Skills in Classrooms and Life) Act would make health and physical education core academic subjects. In turn that would let school districts cash in on federal dollars to use to develop better programs in those areas, something they can't do now.
Hamik says that at Hastings Public Schools, where she's been a teacher for 30 years, she and fellow P.E. teachers work on ways to keep their kids moving in the gym, after school, and in the classroom.
"It'd be really great if we could have kids have P.E. class every day, if they can't then they're really trying to incorporate physical activity throughout the day, be it as recess, in the classroom, and then when they come to P.E. class," she says.
Hamik says Profession Learning Communities (PLCs) – where teachers of the same subjects meet and talk about what they're teaching – lets them work on staff and program development together, but it's not an advantage all schools have.
"We teach the same curriculum, we teach the same skills, we teach the same movement concepts and so if you're at one elementary school or another, it doesn't matter, you're getting the same education," she says.
When Hamik heads to Washington DC next week she'll share HPS's story, and call for the core curriculum change.
"It's really cool if you get a chance to sit down and talk to the congressmen, and my intention this year is to invite as many of them as I can to come back to Hastings and come into the gym, come into our schools, and see what it is that we do every day," she says.
Other teachers say making sure there is time during the school day and funding for health and physical education is important.
"I think it's a conversation that everybody should be having, every school should be implementing more and more physical activity. Obviously obesity rates are increasing, and this is one thing we can do to spread the word," says fellow HPS P.E. teacher Derek Williams.
While in DC, Hamik and others will also ask Congress to keep funding a federal program known as the PEP Grant. Hamik says it's highly competitive, but can mean millions of dollars for a chosen district to use toward developing physical education programs.
"Our goal is to have kids be successful at physical activity so that they want to make it a lifelong activity for themselves," she says.

March 18th, 2013, 01:54 PM #1Newegg - Non-Commissionables in Datafeed
Nothing burns my butt more than when a merchant sends down loads of non-commissionable items in their datafeed. Toys-R-Us and Buy.com spring to mind...
Now, it appears that Newegg, of 1% - .5% commission fame, is taking it one step farther by also sending down about 18,000 non-commissionable items in their datafeed. Yes, 18,000 items with 0% commission.

I haven't checked to see if the non-commissionable items are tagged. This was the last straw for me and I just dumped them. As helpingmoms pointed out, their extremely low commission rate already made it very difficult to rationalize promoting them.
I try to provide an comprehensive list of merchants for my website visitors, but when a merchant pushes too far, I can't afford to keep them. Plus, there is principle involved. I hate being treated like a sucker.

At any given time (daily) there are over 100 users planning and building their new PCs using this guy's resources. Average cost of a decent PC is over 1,000. I'm guesstimating here but even at 1%, the comm would be well over 10k/mo.

Without Newegg it would be $40K a month via Amazon (they have a $25 cap on computer stuff, but for components, you won't hit the cap unless you are building a really high end machine with components that are greater than $600 each)...
I've been specing out a high-end server that I'm building for my biz. You know who has great component pricing that beats newegg? Compuvest. They pay out 5%, so make that $50K a month...

Actually, I've noticed an increase in Newegg pricing lately on my site. I guess they needed to achieve higher profit margins. They used to have the best price, now they are in the middle, or even towards the high end of pricing.
I should put a caveat on my compuvest statement... I've been shopping for 15K RPM SAS drives which I want to buy in bulk. So not your typical component shopping.

Last week or so Jimmy Jazz (CJ) changed their terms to include Non-commissionable items. When we asked about if they were in the feed we were told yes. Asked if they were somehow noted in the feed so we could filter them out, we were told "no" but we could use the list provided on CJ.
Told them not going to manually filter them out thereby making their feed useless...Salty kisses, Sandy toes, and a Pirate's heart...
March 20th, 2013, 08:59 AM #18
Let's compile a list of merchants we know do this. I will contact them and let them know that Prosperent will be dropping them if they don't take care of it. I'll also talk to the network reps I work with, and as a final step if none of that works, I will call them out publicly. I've done that before and it always works
March 20th, 2013, 12:00 PM #19
I agree, and this sounds good, but I have to admit that when there are just a few non-commissionables I put up with it. So take Amazon for instance. I think they are still sending down their non-commissionables in their datafeed, but it is only 26 items out of over what, 90 million? I guess its the ratio that gets me.
So for instance, Buy.com has 767,132 items that they won't compensate for unless you reach $250K in sales for the month. If you reach that sale level they will pay .5%! They own the network though, so not sure any action will get them to change.
Newegg, with the 18,864 0% commission items and the .5% return visitor commission rate is another example.
These two are just using their affiliate program for free advertising and it is painfully obvious. I guess we might be thankful that they are so blatant about it, instead of shaving leads like "I believe" plumbersurplus does.

Alright guys, i'm going to have a meeting with the head of feeds for cj here soon. What would all of you like to see changed in their feeds? I will of course bring up the non commissionable items, but would be happy to bring up any other issues that affiliates run into regularly. For us, I would love to see more UPC data, better quality images (multiple images).

March 20th, 2013, 12:31 PM #21
So here is what I don't get. If Google Shopping requires UPC codes or Manufacturer and MPN and a CJ merchant is in Google Shopping, why doesn't their CJ datafeed have UPC codes or Manufacturer and MPN? I'd also like everyone to standardize on the Google Shopping taxonomy in their datafeeds. (or standardize on nextags, or any taxonomy)

Would be nice if merchants would offer multiple feeds/category feeds.
The ability to only select what category or categories you want out of a feed...

March 20th, 2013, 02:15 PM #25
Agreed, it would also be nice if categories were normalized and standardized across the board. It's a nightmare right now.
