2min Michael Fennelly gives away a free and picks up a yellow card.
1 min The game is underway at Walsh Park and Waterford are the first team to have a shot at goal that drifts harmlessly into the hands of Kilkenny 'keeper Eoin Murphy.
Waterford go into their first home game of the League hoping to perform better than their first outing, an eight point stuffing at the hands of Cork.
The Déise were comprehensively outplayed by a Rebel's side welcoming icons back on the pitch (Seán Óg Ó hAilpín) and sideline (manager Jimmy Barry Murphy) eventually going going 3-17 to 0-18.
Kilkenny start their campaign with an impressive eight point win over Tipperary at Nowlan Park. Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has that Kilkenny are "in it to win it" with regard to the league and they didn't want to face Championship action without having had a competitive game for six weeks (which would be the case should Kilkenny fail to reach the play-offs).
If Waterford fail to overturn Kilkenny, then the neighbours will have very different prospects for the remainder of the league campaign. Waterford will be desperate to stay in hurling's top flight so a humdinger of a tussle is on the cards, though the smart money must be on the 33 time All-Ireland Champions.
Team News:
Kilkenny will be without Henry Shefflin; sidelined since last year's All-Ireland win and is expected not to return until the start of the Championship as he still recovering from shoulder surgery. Aside from that; the Cats appear to have a clean bill of health and are set to start with a strong starting XI.
For the home side; Shane O'Sullivan and Aidan Kearney look set to return after missing the Cork tie with flu. Noel Connors is a doubt with a tight hamstring whilst Maurice Shanahan is expected to return.
Shane Walsh faces a late fitness test having substituted at half-time on Leeside. Wayne Hutchinson and Richie Foley will be out injured for at least another six weeks.
Which such a spate of injuries and absentees, expect the Déise to remain pointless and the Black Cats juggernaut to remain unbowed.
Waterford team – 1. I O'Regan; 2. D Fives, 3. L Lawlor, 4 P Mahony; 5. T Browne, 6. K Moran, 7. D Prendergast; 8. S Molumphy, 9. P O'Brien; 10. S Prendergast, 11. M Walsh (captain), 12. P Mahony; 13. M O'Neill, 14. S Walsh, 15. G O'Brien.
Kilkenny team – 1. Eoin Murphy, 2. Paul Murphy, 3. J.J. Delaney, 4. Jackie Tyrrell, 5. Tommy Walsh, 6. Paddy Hogan, 7. Conor Fogarty, 8. Michael Fennelly, 9. Richie Doyle, 10. T.J. Reid, 11. Richie Power, 12. Eoin Larkin (Capt.), 13. Colin Fennelly, 14. Richie Hogan, 15. Matthew Ruth

1:49pm on Sunday, 15th November, 2009:
Continuing the occasional, if not riveting, series...
This is what the lower shelf of the unit to my left looks like:
So, what have we got here?
The pile on the left contains stuff to do with screenwriting. There's The Screenwriter's Bible, which was recommended to me by former British Legends player and Los Angeles producer/writer/director Chip Hayes and was pretty well exactly what I needed to get started. Mine's the 1998 version, hmm, I guess I should upgrade it..
There are also several copies of my two completed screenplays and some treatments of them that I paid to have done (on the whole a good idea, in that if I wrote another screenplay I'd pay for some of the people I did before to look over it).
The blue folder is full of printouts of online notes about screenwriting, which I'll go through eventually and purge. There are further research notes underneath, a book about screwball comedies (my chosen genre, which perhaps explains why I have little success in pitching), copies of emails and replies to emails, lists of potential agents, ... The brown box is empty, but is US letter size (as are screenplays) so I use it if I need to carry a screenplay around physically without damaging it. Underneath the box are more screenplays, but I didn't write those — they're for reference.
The middle section of the shelf is where I chuck the receipts of things I've bought that might conceivably break (computers etc.). It's a legacy of the days when I ran MUSE Ltd. and could claim back VAT on things. There are also a couple of hole punches (one for A4, one for US letter size) and hidden under the lot is the manual for the screenwriting software I use, ScriptThing (which became Screenwriter 2000, which became Movie Magic Screenwriter, then I lost track of it).
The right shelf has some smaller screenwriting books. Prominent among them you will see The Complete Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting. I don't usually buy this kind of guide, but I bought that one because I was in email conversation with the author, Skip Press. He fell out with another person I was emailing, Derek Harris (that's what he used for screenwriting, anyway — he never told anyone his real name). Both Skip and Dek asked that I ceased talking to the other, so of course I turned them both down. Dek wasn't pleased, but understood; Skip wasn't pleased, and told me he never wanted me to contact him ever again. I kept my copy of his book, though, because its title is spot on: it really is a complete idiot's guide to screenwriting.
Beneath the screenplay books are my 3D photos, in a box for a 3D photo viewing kit I bought in the USA once. It works, too, although initially not all that well. The pink glasses you can see there are the strongest reading spectacles you can buy off the shelf; if you put those on and then look through the viewer, you get a much easier time of things. Just don't do it when someone else is nearby with a camera, as they look ridiculous on...
Don't worry, there's only one more section of this cupboard to go before I move on to the final set of shelves. Then, you can worry.

Dear Friends,
We attended our Quarterly Meeting this past weekend. The theme this year was "Difficult Quaker Conversations." I'm not sure I learned any new ways to try to have a dialogue with someone who is offering a different view point, but I was reminded of some lessons to apply:
- Before engaging in a difficult conversation, be clear as to your own emotions, reactions, beliefs around the subject. Know the triggering words/emotions/body language that hook you into not being able to go forward in difficult conversations.
- Enter into the conversation with the intent to listen.
- Be curious and cautious. Be curious and respectful. Be curious and open.
- Ask questions. Before presenting your viewpoint, ask the other person for theirs and then ask for clarification. Ask for illumination. Ask because you are really curious about how the other person came to their belief about the subject.
- Look for a way in which to agree with the other person. (Transactional Analysis would call this "parent shrinking." Look for ways to sooth the person's superego (parent thinking-acting part of them) and still remain honest and acting with integrity.
- Be thoughtful rather than emotional.
- Know that there is that of Love/God/Goodness in everyone.
- Thank the other person for their opinion/belief/openness/integrity.
Before you think that these are easy steps, remember that difficult conversation opportunities can present themselves at any time, testing our ability to engage with an open and trusting heart. With good intentions. With integrity and curiosity.
Here's an example of How NOT to do it:
During our Difficult Conversation workshop, a F/friend (a F/f means a Quaker who is also a personal friend) turned to me and said, "I'm really disappointed in XXX." To which I replied, "Oh, I've been quite pleased with XXX."
My F/friend looked quite surprised, turned and walked away. Unfortunately she left the Meeting before I had mentally thumped myself for not practicing what we had just learned. If I had only ASKED her why she felt the way she did–how much different might have been our understand and parting. As of now, I've lost the face-to-face ability to not only practice having a difficult conversation, but to learn why she believes as she does.
I've thumped myself again–to look for ways to practice having difficult conversations–being mindful that difficult conversations can occur at any time with anyone.
Be gentle with yourself and those that present you with difficult conversations.

First Post - Newbie Random Questions - Master Yi
Morning Everyone, Well i have finally started playing League Of Legends. A game a day kind of situation. I started playing Darius for a few games but decided after some research to switch to Master Yi. I felt more comfortable as this character and i felt like i instantly played better than with Darius. Obviously different styles of the character. Don't ask me why but it felt like i improved massively with Master Yi and the mechanics just suited me better. Gonna dive into some random stupid questions now and please forgive my noob randomness! 1. Alpha Strike - Do i simply click the target and then spam that Q key until i am in range? i seemed to be chasing and clicking constantly. 2. After Alpha Strike you finish at the champions position. If i was auto targeting that target before the move will i continue to strike them? 3. Wuju Style - Someone please explain this to me simply. The passive is great but should i be using that ability? if So When? 4. Highlander - Love this as it crushes people but again do i need click the target to run towards them and then simply spam the R button? Also what is the combo for this? Use Alpha Strike and then Highlander or use Highlander and then Wuju Style? Advice needed That's enough newb questions for now but any advice is welcome!

MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has received the approval of the The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) to list its shares on the stock exchange through an introductory listing.
Following the approval, the telecoms giant has fixed Thursday to list its shares on the stock exchange through an introductory listing.
MTN in a statement signed by its Senior Manager, External Relations, Mr. Funso Aina, said it received approval to list on the Premium Board of The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
The listing, according to the statement, is set to proceed tomorrow and will be done by way of an introductory listing. The listing by introduction means that the shares of existing MTN Nigeria shareholders will be listed without an additional public sale of shares. From this point, all MTN Nigeria shareholders will be free to trade their shares on the NSE.
Commenting on the approval, the CEO of MTN Nigeria, Mr. Ferdi Moolman, said: "It gives me great pleasure to confirm that the official listing via introduction of MTN's shares on the NSE will take place on Thursday May 16."
"We appreciate the continued support afforded us by the government, regulators and people of this great nation. In particular, I would like to thank the staff and management of MTN Nigeria who worked tirelessly to make this day possible. This is just the beginning, we still intend to pursue a future Public Offer giving more Nigerians greater access to the MTN opportunity," Moolman added.
MTN Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Ralph Mupita, said: "As MTN Group we are very pleased that we are taking this first and important step towards increasing the local ownership of the company, and building the equity capital markets in Nigeria."

Day 2 in Bangkok was all about shopping, shopping and shopping in Platinum Fashion Mall.
Our first breakfast at Platinum Fashion Mall's food court, the start of many lovely meals in this place. It was nice and quiet in the morning unlike rush hour during lunch.
Braised duck rice in Bangkok, the chilli sauce was super shiok, hints of sour tartness, kick of chilli, really lifted the whole dish. The duck itself was tender and juicy. Springrolls were a tasty snack afterwards.
They have kueh chap in Thailand! It's not dissimilar to Kueh Chap in Kuching, the intestines, pork meat and flat noodles are similar, they also give yummy pork blood cubes. The main difference, it's much sweeter than Malaysian's version and that's something common in lots of Thai dishes, sweet flavours throughout.
R really liked Thai kueh chap and this was one of his favourite dishes in Bangkok. Btw ah ma, if you're reading this, I still need Aunty Jenny's Kueh Chap recipe!
Thai iced tea also known as cha yen in Thailand,this orange coloured tea has a strong tea taste and is sweet and milky 🙂
After a very satisfying breakfast, it was time for shopping! We bought so much that we ended up having to go back to the hotel to drop off our shopping. Then we went back again for more! I love Platinum Fashion Mall so much (^_____^)
Dinner at the food court. Sharksfin and birdsnest, the Chinese treasures are abundant and surprisingly affordable in Bangkok. In fact, you can pretty much see birdsnest and sharksfin sold in most food courts everywhere.
Luxurius dinner of sharksfin soup with rice. This big claypot portion cost around 150 Baht (AUD$5), the sharksfin wasn't of the best quality, but gosh, the soup was so flavourful and yummy. Too good.
That was a good end to Day 1.
Day 2 started with a morning shopping run to Platinum (= ^__^=).
Then it was a tut tut drive to Siam Square, the shopping district in the Siam area of Bangkok, this is where all the popular and famous shoping centres such as Siam Discovery Center, MahBoonKrong (MBK Center) and Siam Paragon are located. It's actually walkable from Pratunam to Siam, maybe a 20 – 30 minute walk, but under Bangkok's relentless heat, we opted for a tut tut instead. You have to negotiate the price to get to your destination with the tut tut driver, I read in a pamphlet that the price should never be more than 200 Baht. A lot of tut tut drivers will tell you the same 'traffic jam, bad hour' excuse and quote you some high price, if you don't like the price, just walk away.
Most taxi drivers (especially metered ones) are actually not more expensive than tut tuts, so it might be a better idea to get a taxi instead which at least has aircon (except some taxi drivers also refuse to switch on their meters and will instead quote you a high price). Another thing to watch out for tut tut drivers, they might lie to you and tell you that the destination that you're going to is not open and will instead offer to bring you to gemstone factories, or other temples (they receive a commission for this). Remember to check with a proper tourist information outlet for opening hours of tourist attractions so you don't get conned!
MBK! This place has lots of shops and is very popular with Thai locals and tourists alike.
Instead of shopping (I still preferred Platinum shopping) I had afternoon tea at Mister Donut. Coffee and donuts, surely the best combination.
Traffic from Pratunam to Siam Square is chockers.
Siam Square is very convenient in that there are walkways linking to each shopping center. The night markets and stalls lined up around this area are also pretty great. There's also a myriad of local designer boutiques selling gorgeous fashion and shoes around this area.
Tuts tuts lined up along Siam Square.
Siam Paragon is one of the newer shopping centers in Bangkok, it's really gorgeous with lots of luxury and high end shops and restaurants inside. Siam Ocean World is also located in here, it's the biggest aquarium in South East Asia.
Jim Thompson and Thai silk go hand to hand together.
View of MBK at night. As you can see, the traffic never stops.
Dinner at MBK's food court. My favourite dish in Bangkok, pork leg rice! This combination of braised hard boiled egg, tender melt in your mouth pork leg, picked vegetables is yums.
Oyster omelette. This version was better than the one we had at the road side stall, the oysters were big and fresh, really tasty.
A mixture of fried and steamed chicken rice. This was the best chicken rice we had in Bangkok, the rice was oily and fragrant with all the good chickeny flavours. The chicken was tender and yummy.
NaRaYa store in Central World, a very popular Thai brand of fabric handbags, the designs are cute and colourful and they're actually very affordable too.
After a heavy dinner, it was perhaps good that we decided not to catch a tut tut or taxi and walked back to the hotel. We could catch the night views of the shopping centers and browse the night market stalls at the same time. Central World at night looks prety good eh?
Snacking back at the hotel. Basil and chilli flavoured chips, it was actually pretty good. I thought of my brother in law when I saw this fish snack, he loves dafah, but this Thai version is filled with white sesame in the middle. It was quite tasty, but I prefer the original version with no sesame seeds.
Hehe, the end of each Bangkok blogpost, Day 2 and Day 3 beers!

I started my page simply because I love food, I love taking photos, I love writing and I love meeting people and hearing their stories.
If you had of said to me 2 years ago, I would have 18 thousand followers, be dining in the best of Melbourne's restaurants and cafes, attending cool events like these, or of course my absolute favourite food truck park event- the peanut butter festival, two weekends ago (peanut butter is my kryptonite) and meeting awesome, passionate, like minded people , let alone be standing up here talking to you, i probably would have laughed in your face…. and the truth is I'd probably be a few kilos lighter too!
What makes twogoodtoresist unique?
I take pride in being authentic, not taking advantage of the industry and being true to my followers in what I write, suggest and produce.
Could you please describe your product or service?
Food instagram account
How long have you been in business?
Between 1-3 years
Can you tell us how you started your business?
I love food, eating out, trying new places and was always the go to (and still am) for my friends and family. I would always get messages like I'm going to x location, I want x cuisine and x price range, can you recommend me a place? So one day I decided to share my love of food, discovering amazing businesses and taking photos via instagram. I never expected it to pick up the way it has and really love it.
What would you say has been your biggest challenge and how did you over come it?
Coming into contact with places who invite you in and just want good reviews and 5 star ratings as opposed to honesty. Theres also unfortunately a lot of bloggers out there who take cafes and restaurants for a ride for their money and take advantage of what they're offering and it really upsets me, especially when small businesses are struggling and just want your help getting their name out there.
What is the one thing that has had the biggest impact to your success?
My degree in psychology! I always sound nerdy saying it but I love researching what people want to see, when they want to see it, why certain meals do better at different times of day etc. I never thought psych and food could intertwine into success and it really has.
Any words of wisdom you would like to share with our readers?
everyone starts small- work hard, engage and be true to your own style

Add a new product (electronic or physical)
choose the payment arrangement you need (possibly a one-time payment, payment program, or subscription)

Customize the checkout pages to match your personal site and manufacturer
Add upsells, create coupons, split-tests, etc..

SamCart Characteristics
The reason that SamCart has managed to Because they provide so many features that assist online retailers earn more cash, grow is. Whether you're running an e-commerce shop or selling information products, these features will allow you to make more money and have SamCart pay for itself fairly quickly.
Affiliate Center
One of the greatest things about selling products online is that you can enlist an entire army of affiliates to promote your stuff. You do not have to spend time promoting your products, nor do you need to spend a dime. You simply pay them if they create a purchase for you if you're able to get affiliates to spread the word. What Does Samcart Do
SamCart allows you to make your personal army of affiliates that will sell your products for you with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically creates an Affiliate Signup page for you – that is where others may use to promote your products.
You'll find a link for this page, which means you may send it out to prospective affiliates, post it on your site, or send it from your own email list. Whenever my readers go months without buying anything from me, I encourage them to become affiliates. Hey, if they aren't buying something, it is still a way for me to profit from them.
Every time a potential affiliate fills out your program, they will be shown a message which their accounts is"pending approval". When that happens, you'll find a notification which they applied via email. It will also include buttons to accept or reject the person's application. You can even set this up to accept affiliates if you want.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50 percent. But this payout to anything you desire can be customized by you. You can pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a proportion. I have had a lot of success by increasing the affiliate payout for top-performing affiliates to provide an incentive to market more to them.
Checkout Pages
One of the coolest things about SamCart is they have 18 professionally designed templates which are proven to convert. Frankly, I really don't think the templates ALL are good, but I do love almost all of them. My favorite is the classic template.
The obvious huge advantage here is that the templates are used by other proven marketers, so you can stay away from the innumerable hours of designing and analyzing your own pages.
All of the templates have hope elements like testimonials, guarantees, and safety reassurances that provide your clients the reassurance they will need to enhance your conversions.
As soon as you choose your checkout page, it is easy to customize it by changing the colours of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You might even pick the fields you want to include and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your customer is purchasing (I've found bullet points to be especially helpful, and that's the reason why you see them on all my earnings pages).
All the pages are cellular responsive, which is very significant within our ever-increasingly mobile globe. One reason I switched over to SamCart was since my prior checkout page provider was not as responsive as I desired it to be. What Does Samcart Do
I do a good deal of advertising on Google AdWords, where most of my traffic comes from mobile. I discovered that at a greater rate, which meant I flushed my advertisement spend down the toilet, people abandoned with my old shopping cart. SamCart helped my boost my conversions.
Plus, they have a cool"sandbox" mode, which enables you make sure everything is working before going live with your product. With my old shopping cart, I had to publish everything and test it. I hated doing that. With SamCart, I will test obligations without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
Click Upsells
When I told my friends I was composing a SamCart review, they told me that I must stress how awesome their click upsells are, and I concur.
If you are selling online and you aren't offering upsells, you're leaving a lot of money on the table. In reality, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35% of its earnings were from its efforts that were upselling. Do not you think it warrants your consideration, if Amazon is making that much money from it?
An upsell is a technique that helps you increase your average order value. You encounter upsells all the time and do not even understand it. You don't HAVE to get the elongated warranty for your vehicle, but it's there as an upsell for those that don't want to worry about maintenance. Restaurants certain like to offer it, although you do not need to have dessert after dinner.
Continuing with the dessert example, these little $8 cakes aren't a huge amount of money, but if you're the restaurant selling dozens of these each night, the money adds up.
SamCart makes this process seamless by providing upsells where all of the customer has to do is click on one single button and purchase your offer. In accordance with these, SamCart users who utilize one click upsells typically boost their average client value by a whopping 68.1%. What Does Samcart Do

One Page Checkout
This feature is unique as it offers you the capability to include several different payment choices onto a single checkout page. For my $997 online training course, Teachable is used by me, and they don't provide this feature. When a client wants the payment program I have to have checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart for that.
The one page voucher takes multiple payments into a whole new level because it keeps traffic on the webpage while they decide how to cover. You realize how important it's to keep your visitors if you've ever sold anything on the internet.
Cross Selling Bumps
Cross-selling is a strategy to sell products which are associated with the one the client already owns. A cross-sell would be gas or auto insurance if a customer purchases a vehicle from you.
You may be familiar with this as bundling. When you package products and the main product you are able to increase your profits. McDonald's does by selling beverages and fries with their burgers, so well.
Subscription Saver
When I started selling subscription merchandise on the internet, I had been naive enough to think that everyone would pay on time, every moment. I guessed that if I was good enough honor my obligations and to pay my bills, so would everybody else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out there are some losers online. Individuals who decline cancel credit cards simply to get out of making payments or fees. Once this happens, your subscription income is gone. Barring any legal action (like sending a demand letter… if you have the client's address) you can not get your money. Sad.
But now with SamCart, your subscriptions are being guarded from declined obligations and expired credit cards. Every time a payment fails, SamCart sends your client an email on your behalf – that the email has a link where clients can update the payment they have on file, right . That means that you don't need to waste your time hounding your customers .
When a client fails to upgrade the payment information after several tries, SamCart automatically cancels the subscription. SamCart marks them as"delinquent" in your accounts so that you know who they are and so you have the chance to reach out to those clients. What Does Samcart Do
A/B Testing
Isn't it weird that people talk about split examining their revenue pages, their opt-in pages, their email subject lines, and much more… but they do not ever speak about examining their homepage?
It seems crazy, right?
When you figure that a large part of your potential customers are abandoning your checkout page, don't you think that a half-decent split evaluation could let you get one more client??
I do also.
Fortunately, SamCart offers the capacity to run live split tests. This is AMAZING. You may effectively double your sales In case you have a abandonment rate and your split-testing snags you simply ONE extra client. Yes, DOUBLE YOUR SALES. Just like that.
SamCart lets you change almost any setting you want, so it is possible to test any variation which tickles your fancy. It's possible to change the template, try a different guarantee (I've found that the longer, the greater ), eliminate some areas (I have discovered the less, the greater ), and more.
As soon as you have your variants created, SamCart automatically tests between your own variations. You don't need to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" section in the item's settings to see how the variations are doing. As soon as you find a winner, SamCart allows you to disable the loser.
The one thing you can not split-test using SamCart is your product's price. You are going to have to create two products and conduct a test between those two products, if you would like to do that.
When it comes to A/B analyzing, experience tells me that you ought to test the major stuff first (like entirely different templates) and then work your way down to the minute particulars. Oh, and wait until you have a sample size before you call it.
Why Checkout Pages Suck
Based on what study you read, 80 percent of people That"add to cart" in your website will abandon cart. You may add a substantial quantity of money to your bottom line, if you can get just a small quantity of those people to convert.
SamCart will help you boost conversions. What Does Samcart Do
SamCart's entire value proposition is their checkout page templates have been tested to the gills and they've been proven to convert better than their competition. You ought to ensure you're maximizing your conversions, Should you sell items online, and SamCart will help you do so.
Plus, most checkout pages are not designed to maximize the amount of profit that you get from every sell. Matters such as order lumps and upsells help you add more profit to every sale.
By way of instance, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. I wouldn't have the ability to bring an upsell, When I used a standard voucher form. But because I provide an upsell, roughly one out of every 3 people take my offer for $60.
Due to the one simple attribute, I'm adding an average of $20 to each and every purchase of the item. That's like giving myself more than a raise by simply having that attribute. Which means I can spend an additional $20 on advertisements develop my business faster and to acquire a client.
My Beloved SamCart Feature
My favorite SamCart attribute is hands-down the Great training and customer support they provide. They have a lot of videos in what's known as their"Knowledge Base" that teaches you how to use their software (although it's already fairly easy) and they provide a lot of education on the best way to earn more money if you're selling online.
They have a complete library of product info, webinars, tutorials, and much more. The instruction is worth the cost. I had to add this fact in my SamCart review.
SamCart Integrations
I didn't have a chance to integrate SamCart using a Lot of resources, just because I don't use that many. I use mainly use PayPal, Drip, OptinMonster and Stripe.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Check out my review . I wrote a review of this too if you are interested in learning more about Drip.
SamCart lets you easily sync with a bunch of tools, such as email, marketing automation, membership, and payment processing. It was easy for me to integrate my whole system together with SamCart and I imagine it would be the exact same for the majority of individuals out there.
I've been studying on various forums just how easy it was for people to incorporate Kajabi, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, MailChimp, Aweber, and much more. My toolbox is fairly simple, so I can't discuss this in depth in my SamCart review. What Does Samcart Do
How Much Can SamCart Price?
SamCart has three Distinct plans:
Basic ($19 per month)
Guru ($99 per month)
Premium ($199 a month)
Even SamCart is a complete steal with the features. But, I've found that the Fundamental is good enough for many entrepreneurs, but if you're doing a great deal of business online, you want to acquire the plan.
Also remember that if you are looking to save a little money, they offer you a discount if you pay annually. I suggest that you make the most of their free trial (to ensure that it's definitely right for you) then paying yearly to conserve money. If you pay yearly, the Pro program is $888 per year (which saves you $300) and the Premium plan is $1,788 per year (which saves you $600).
SamCart Supplies a 14-Day Free Trial (and Money-Back Gurantee)
If you're on the fence about trying SamCart, they Offer a free 14-day trial.
This usually means that you can test them out absolutely free, and if they don't make you more money than your previous cart (or you just hate it for some reason) then it's possible to fire them. You are able to cancel and walk away.
Plusthey have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee anyway, further reducing the danger.
Based on SamCart, the typical SamCart seller constitutes to 5X over the ordinary seller on other platforms. What do you need to lose? Begin now. What Does Samcart Do

Dulk's Broken Thoughts at Galleria Varsi
Landscape and animals draw human attention since the dawn of mankind. Artists were challenged how to represent them independently of their perception of reality. Especially animals were of great interest because of their symbolical depictions as man. Anyhow, composition consisting of these two motives was always interpreted as an allegory or allusion of human behavior.
Concept Behind Dulk's Art
Passion for Flemish paintings led Dulk to execute extensive researches on landscapes and their various components, an experience which is evident in the structure of his art. Since childhood he has cultivated a passion for nature, born when his father first showed him black and white photographic encyclopedias that immortalized thousands of animal species. So, by mixing Flemish painters mannerisms with bizarre and ironic images, the artist builds fantastic sceneries, with richly detailed fantasy worlds to be explored, in which viewers can lose themselves and dream. Animals and nature represent the core of his aesthetic research, and are always elegantly expressed and portrayed in a funny and paradoxical language.
Surrealist Drawings
Since then the artist has never stopped drawing, always receiving inspiration from nature but creating fictional characters, which find their space in a natural and vigorous settings. Nevertheless, Dulk's work takes shape through his approach to drawings. When holding a pencil the artist abandons world of adults, and allows himself to become overwhelmed by the spontaneity that inspires the imagination of a child. He is thus able to focus on an infinite range of details, fundamental to the representation of mentioned subjects: nature and its animals.
This means of expression has characterized Dulk's surrealist narratives from the beginning, in a path that has led him to become an illustrator in today's international gallery circuit and on the walls of the cities he travels to. Artists like Andrew Brandou or Lindsey Carr posses similar sensibility for displaying animals and nature.
Broken Thoughts exhibition from dulk on Vimeo.
Broken Thoughts at Galleria Varsi
Dulk's first solo show in Italy is realized by the curators Marta Gargiulo and Massimo Scrocca. For this exhibition the gallery has been transformed into a dense vegetation landscape, in which the artist integrates his latest production that derives from his own specific blend of nature, imagination and joy. Titled Broken Thoughts, it is constructed as a precise narrative, a fable, filled with cynicism and gumption.
Galleria Varsi is a relatively young gallery in Rome focused on urban and street art, and the show will take place there from April 17th to May 24th, 2015.

Caroline Fourest is a French journalist and feminist. Unlike so many of her Anglo-Saxon sisters she does not think freedom is only for white women, and is ready to condemn the oppression of women wherever it occurs.
For instance, she exposed Tariq Ramadan, who on the one hand appeared the ideal moderate Muslim, while at the same time refusing to take a stand against clerics ordering the death of women by stoning.
'Double speak' she called it. He says he is a 'Muslim feminist' to Western intellectuals, who admire him and offer him posts at Oxford colleges. Only when you ask what he means by that – and hardly anyone does – do you learn that he believes that in Muslim feminism the man should have power over the woman.
Perhaps Sky News's broadcasters did not realise who were they dealing with when they invited her on air to discuss why Sky had banned not only irreligious and satirical images of Mohammed – and let's face it, virtually every British editor has done that – but to submit so totally to the demands of gunmen that it had banned the anodyne cover from this week's Charlie Hebdo too.
Fourest first denounced Sky's lack of solidarity:
'I am very sad, very sad that journalists in UK do not support us. That journalists in the UK betray what journalism is about. By thinking that people cannot be grown {up] enough to decide if a drawing is offensive.'
She was making an argument that is not heard often enough. By bowing to demands for censorship, the West is infantilising European Muslims. Everyone else can take robust and irreverent arguments about their politics and religious beliefs. But Muslims must be treated with kid gloves and told white lies because they are prickly and dangerous. No one seems to realise that they are providing an excellent reason for employers and the rest of society to shun Muslims. 'Their sensitivities are so delicate they might explode at any moment.'
This is insane (and racist too, if you think about it) and the magnificent Fourest said so:
'You are not even showing it, which is completely crazy that in UK you cannot show a simple drawing.'
At this point she reached down and pulled up a copy of Hebdo's image of Muhammed weeping at the murders. (Quite a generous way for Hebdo to treat militant Islam.I thought, in the circumstances.)
The camera cut away.
'Sky News has not chosen to show that image,' the presenter said before going on to apologies to 'any viewers who may have been offended'.
By this I don't think she meant viewers offended by Sky News' contempt for the very principles of freedom of speech under the law, which have made Rupert Murdoch a billionaire.
It is one thing to self-censor on grounds of taste, journalist do it, everyone does it, all the time. Equally, we all avoid giving unnecessary offence for trivial reasons – or at the very least only give it on occasion.
But it is another to censor because men with guns tells you to censor your thoughts on and satires of religion. It is not trivial but claims vast power over the minds and bodies of humanity.
To then imitate Sky and censor out of fear and not admit you are censoring out of fear is more contemptible still. As I said at the end of my book on modern censorship (still in the shops you will be pleased to hear)
If you are frightened at least have the guts to say so.
If the controller of Sky News had made a public statement saying that he or she (I don't know the wretch, so it could be either) was terrified of attacks on Sky studios and correspondents, that would have been one thing. He/she would have admitted the fact of censorship. He/she would have shown a kind of solidarity with the victims of radical Islam everywhere by accepting that it was a terrifying force.
As it is, he/she left everyone, including liberal Muslims who have to take on literalist readings of the Koran and hadiths, isolated. Look, their persecutors can now say, you are so blasphemous even Western TV stations are better at respecting our taboos and going along with our demands than you are.
But hold on just a minute. Sky News is not owned by some craven, limp-wristed liberal appeaser. It is owned by that conservative ultra Rupert Murdoch. He is quite happy to damn all Muslims and hold them accountable for the actions of their blood- soaked religious right. After the attacks he tweeted:
'Maybe most Moslems [sic] peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.'
In other words, they are collectively liable and presumably have no grounds to complaint when they receive collective punishment. Meanwhile his Fox News feeds right-wing America's lurid nightmare of 'Eurabia' by describing our own dear second city of Birmingham as a no-go area for non-Muslims.
But, and here is the point, no one is going to kill Murdoch for saying that. He and his American staff can attack all Muslims, while steering clear of taking on the extremists who just might hurt them, which is about as cowardly a way to behave as it is possible to imagine.
The rest of us aren't much better. The right wing press gives space to extremists because they want to pander to their readers fears of dangerous immigrants. The liberal press gives them space because they fuel infantile left fantasies that radical religion – yes, religion – is a substitute for anti-western communism. Broadcasters do the same, because, admit it, who want some boring Pakistani doctor urging moderation when you can thrill the viewers with a clerical fascist?
As I am sure Madam Fourest already knows it is not only Tariq Eamadan who has double standards. In the media, they are all Ramadan now.

Munitions Grade - Cold Steel 1860 US Heavy Cavalry Saber - CS88HCS-MG
View Larger Image
|This Munitions Grade item is not up to our normal high standards. Munitions grade items will typically have various bends or twists in the blades, basically rendering them as 2nds quality. These items are still a great choice for collecting and re-enacting and functional pieces will still be functional. Please keep this in mind when ordering.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, there were two types of sabers issued to the Federal Cavalry: ''light'' and ''heavy''. The light version was popular, but the heavy model, dubbed the ''Old Wrist Breaker'' was the one worth owning, as it was a superior weapon. Its 36'' blade offered big reach advantages over most sabers, and its substantial weight gave it the leverage to easily crush bones and sever limbs or even a head with a single blow. The brass guard had three bars to protect the hand and the grip was wire bound leather and capped with a sturdy pommel. In its double ringed, steel scabbard, it could be easily attached to a saddle or to a belt.
The Cold Steel 1860 US Heavy Cavalry Saber features a sharpened 1055 carbon steel blade with a hard spring temper. The guard is brass with a leather covered, wire wrapped grip. Includes a steel scabbard with hanging rings.

Today we talk to Rachel Kessler, founder of Kessler Communications, LLC, a beauty, health and wellness public relations firm in New York City, about her health and wellness tips. Rachel has healed herself and came back strong from chronic autoimmune illnesses through these various health tips and lessons. She still maintains a gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free diet for optimal wellness.
Throughout her healthcare public relations career she has worked on behalf of clients such as Pfizer, Bayer, Medtronic and Amgen, worked on celebrity campaigns with Angelica Houston, Bart Conner and Joe Montana, and launched products such as Listerine Pocketpaks, Cialis, and Celebrex. She has worked in pretty much every therapeutic area from dermatology, plastic surgery, men's health, urology, diabetes to cardiology, gastroenterology and psychiatry.
(Q) What is the greatest tip you can give someone for health and wellness?
I think that connecting mind, body and spirit is the most important way to radiant health. If the spirit is unwell, the body will follow. If the emotions are holding a secret deep inside the gut, cells, mind or heart, the body will most likely become sick.
Do what makes your soul sing, what makes your spirit soar. Dancing? Drawing? Swimming? Do it. Take care to meditate and do a digital detox when you can. If there are any wounds, confront them so healing can begin. Be grateful for every day and every small moment and memory. I keep a gratitude journal and every night write down all that I am grateful for from the day. Usually, for me, I find myself writing down that I'm grateful for something that has to do with food. But oftentimes it's things like beautiful connections. My family, my magical nephew. My brother, friends and clients.
My point is to make sure your spirit is happy and healthy and eventually the body will follow. I also think when it comes to diagnosing and healing that thinking in a creative, out-of-the box kind of way can be really helpful. Bringing an entrepreneurial and creative spirit into the practice of medicine and science can only lead to greater discoveries and more treatment options. My client ZO Skin Health, Inc. has done this well and created some incredibly innovative skin care products as a result. That has been my experience. Pray in a way that is meaningful to you, be grateful, connect, think with a wide and open mind.
(Q) Anything else?
If you have any addictions-whether that means being a workaholic, being addicted to your phone and technology, being a maniac exerciser or something else, tackle it. The key to vibrant health is balance in all ways. Be mindful about balance. If your'e drinking champagne, drink green juice. If you're hooked up to your computer and phone for days, hook up with your friends or spouse at night. If you work non-stop, rest. If you're channel surfing, go surfing. Everything in moderation.
(Q) What do you do to care for your skin? It looks amazing.
One of our very favorite clients of all time is ZO Skin Health. The company is thriving and filled with integrity, incredible products, amazing people and a pioneering spirit. The skin care products are science-backed, luxurious and results-driven. I use only ZO Skin Health, Inc. products. My medicine cabinet is all ZO Skin Health products. Since I started using these products, my skin has become so much healthier and more radiant. The other day a dermatologist thought I was ten years younger than I am. I said no, it's my client's products! I am very proud of them and could not be more thrilled to represent them professionally and personally. I recommend ZO Skin Health products to anyone and everyone who will listen. I'm passionate about them. I also make sure to indulge in a facial with Ashley Witte at Parlour De Witte. She's a very gifted aesthetician in New York City. She lifts the cheekbones up, as well as the spirit.
(Q) What are some unusual things that you do to maintain radiant health?
A few years ago, I met Tracy Piper of the Piper Center She is very knowledgeable about gut health and diet, among other things and has now become a friend. Getting acupuncture and colonics with her is always very beneficial in all ways. She recently wrote a book called The Piper Protocol which outlines all of her secret insider tips that she shares with her celebrity clients. I go to the Russian Turkish Baths in the East Village and sweat.
I think sweating is a great way to detox, heal, and prevent illness and inflammation. In fact, that was the theory behind the Lakota Sweat Lodges. The term for sweat lodge is Inipi, which means "to live again." I'm also a fan of making homemade fish broths with ginger and drinking warm lemon water in morning. I like to drink a chlorophyll water called Night Water from Sakara Life at the end of the day. I also love doing Bikram Yoga. In fact a hospital client had a study on yoga and how it reduces inflammation for breast cancer survivors and I think it can benefit everyone who is prone to inflammation, has autoimmune issues. Here is the study Native Americans used activated charcoal as a toothpaste and I'm a big fan of what I like to call "charcoal for sparkle." My doctor, Dr. Patrick Fratellone, is an integrative medicine doctor and always filled with interesting, innovative ways to heal and treat. I have learned a lot from him.
(Q) That is fantastic. What other tips do you have?
Even if you're a city girl like I am, you really need to take time out and connect with nature. I live and work in the East Village of New York City, but make time to go running on Sundays along the river, dip my toes in the beach at Coney Island, and sit under a tree in Thompkins Square Park. After that, you come back even more energized for your work and with more passion and focus. I'm also constantly going outside of my comfort zone. I was recently asked to give a speech. I abhor public speaking. And so I said yes.
That's also why I did the New York City Triathlon. The thought of swimming in the Hudson River seemed so wild, I had to say yes. And constantly learning and being curious about the world is healthy too. I also really do believe in the edict that you are what you eat. This mean I am one human-sized vegetable, obviously.
(Q) What have you learned recently that you want to share?
I recently read "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." It's a New York Times bestseller by Marie Kondo. It talks about clearing away any clutter and removing any possessions that don't "strike joy." I was already very organized but after that exercise, things have opened up even more. A clutter-free space spawns a clutter-free and healthy mind. And that's always welcome!
(Q) What people have most influenced your choice to be in health and wellness field?
My paternal grandfather, Dr. Ernest Borek, was a Hungarian scientist, pioneer in nucleic acid methylation, and microbiologist. His pioneering activities in cancer research led to significant scientific discoveries. His story is quite remarkable. As a boy, he could not attend college in Hungary because he was Jewish. He could not speak English when he came to this country at the age of 14 and the family was so poor they rubbed sausage on bread to make them think they were eating meat for dinner. Yet he worked hard, both at learning English and earning money, and he rose to become a college professor at Columbia who taught others. His research penetrated some of the mysteries of cancer, made the front page of the New York Times, and won him a nomination for the Nobel Prize. He was the author of four popular books and over 125 scientific publications.
My father, Ronald Kessler, is an investigative reporter, author of 20 books, and a New York Times bestselling author. So basically when you take someone who has a brain for pioneering science and health and mix them with someone who has a talent for communicating and writing then –boom–a passionate health public relations person is born. My grandfather Ernest said something quite powerful in his book, and I think it applies to all we have talked about here. Observing things from all different sides, including science, healing, and health. "Great contributions in science come from two sources. There are those who, by keen observation, see something never seen before by the eyes of man. And then there are those, the more gifted ones I think, who take something seen by all but see it differently and give it new meaning."—Ernest Borek in Of Microbes and Life, edited by Jacques Monod and Ernest Borek, 1971.

Hey Everyone,
As some of you may know I am currently writing from London for the next 2 months as I am here on a scholarship to study along with fellow Dilworther Alex Boneham.
So far the summer weather here is more like a warm Sydney winter day but the extended hours of sunlight (sun sets about 10pm) is encouraging to get out each night to see some of the great gigs that have been taking place.
While still battling jet lag, I haven't had a chance to slow down the last three days. Aussie ex-pat Graeme Blevins led an All-Star quintet at the Pizza Express Jazz Club two nights in a row featuring German trumpeter Till Bronner and Guitarist Mike Outtram. By the second night this band was smoking playing a few standards and modern originals. Till has a super slick sound and outstanding technique that sucks you in with every note he plays. Graeme used to lead a band in Perth called K which is well worth checking out.
Yesterday before watching the frustrating England vs Algeria match was a keynote address by Wynton Marsalis. This week Jazz at the Lincoln Centre orchestra is in residence. I'm particular excited to go see them on a free stage this afternoon and also another group with Terrell Stafford and Rodney Whitaker. Wynton gave a very inspiring talk and used his trumpet and quintet to demonstrate. In particular talked about some ideas of group playing and time modulations that had Alex and I going home together and trying some of it out! Check out a great review of the address from London Jazz Blog – http://londonjazz.blogspot.com/2010/06/wynton-marsalis-keynote-address.html
Below is a photo of Wynton with Walter Blanding, Dan Nimmer, Carlos Henriques and Ali Jackson.

Hey Guys,
Beginning of May I was fortunate to be invited by bassist Lyndon Gray to come down to Adelaide to perform a few gigs at COMA and La Boheme. I had a fantastic time and got to play with some really great musicians including Dan Clohesy – with whom I recorded an album of octet music back in January.
I was promoting The Dilworths' album and performing music with two bands while I was in town. I was very excited for my first experience of stepping of the plane and driving straight to the gig, meeting the band for the first time and then performing my compositions. They played the tunes really well and I has such a blast playing with them.
The Monday night was at COMA with Dan Clohesy, Lyndon Gray and Stephen Neville and Wednesday night with some of the teachers from the Adelaide Conservatorium – Chris Soole, Chris Martin, Lyndon Gray and Kevin Van Der Zwaag.
Some pictures were posted of the Monday night gig in which you can view here and a few in the slideshow below.

Hey Everyone,
The Dilworths have just got back from a well received debut gig at Melbourne's Bennetts Lane Jazz Club as part of the Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival.
A big thanks goes out to Steve Barry, filling the piano chair, Sonja Horbelt, Tamara Murphy, Martin Jackson and Bennetts Lane for making the gig possible. It was wonderful to make our debut to a full house.
Roger Mitchell uploaded some great photos of the gig that you can check out here.
Here's a track from the gig:

Last night was the album launch for the Kim Lawson Trio over at Jazzgroove. It was great to see 505 packed to hear Kim's trio with Steve Hunter, James Hauptmann and on a couple of tunes James Ryan. I guess best term to describe the music is powerhouse jazz-rock. It's a really great thing that these guys put out a record, as these days it seems more and more like the CD becomes your business/calling card and helps to firmly establish your band on the scene.

In the recent study which was published in the journal Circulation Research and was carried out by the researchers in UC Davis, the pancreatic hormone named Amylin has been associated to the varied cardiac problems in the people who are obese and are also diabetic. In an unusual observation the researchers found that certain strings of 10 to 20 proteins called oligomers, small fibers and plaques made of Amylin were present in the failing hearts of the patients who were obese and diabetic. In the patients who are overweight and not obese, it has been suggested that Amylin may accumulate before diabetes is diagnosed. Amylin is the hormone that produces the feeling of being full after eating and its presence in the heart leads to muscle fatigue and destruction.
Florin Despa, senior author of the study and an assistant professor of pharmacology at UC Davis, thinks that the link between cardiac amylin accumulation and heart disease has been overlooked. She said, "Amylin appears to be a stealth killer. There is only one amylin protein for every 100 insulin proteins in the blood, so it has been under the radar until recently." According to the scientists if the circulation of Amylin hormone in the blood sugar is controlled then it might lessen or prevent disabilities and deaths caused by heart disease. Heart failure has been the number-one killer in the diabetic and obese people. In the blood of the healthy people, Amylin circulates along with insulin-the hormone that regulates gastric fluxes, sensation of satiety and carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
Amylin oligomers attach themselves to the membranes of myocytes which are the muscle cells that control heart beats and this was found with the help of genetically engineered rats who secrete human amylin in the same quantity as it is found in obese people. The membranes then become porous to calcium and this changed mycocyte contractibility which eventually led to the death of the heart muscle cells. In comparison to the obese and type 2 diabetic patients, lean people were found to contain no or little Amylin accumulation in their hearts while a smaller yet abnormal buildup was observed in non failing hearts from patients who were over weight but not obese. To halt the buildups of Amylin, scientists are looking up to find new ways. In this context Despa said, "Drugs that block amylin from forming into toxic oligomers could significantly reduce the chances of heart failure."

IRVING, Texas – The University of Dallas women's basketball team closed out 2017 with a 75-62 setback to Sul Ross State University at the Maher Center on Sunday. Despite the Lobos shooting 38.1 percent they made 11 three-pointers out of 26 attempts for a 42.3-clip.
Helen Onyenso (Oak Park, Ill.) led the Crusaders with a career-high 31 points (17 in the 3rd quarter). A 19-14 third period helped the home team pull within three points, but the Lobos used a 24-14 difference in the last frame to improve to 4-9 on the year. Dallas fell to 5-6 overall.
Dallas scored the first pair of field goals to jump out 4-0 and held the Lobos without a point for over two and a half minutes. The visitors countered with back-to-back threes and counted four in the quarter to help boast an early advantage. Sul Ross State led by as many as six, with a trey by Erica Powell pushing that margin a second time (16-10) with just under three minutes left.
The Crusaders used a layup by Onyenso and jumper by Michelle DeCoud (Monument, Colo.) to get within two. SRSU's Powell hit the first of two free throws with 1:06 to finish the scoring in the opening stanza.
DeCoud cut the deficit to one on a jumper nine seconds into the next quarter, but a 13-4 run swung the momentum back to the Lobos. Two trifectas on consecutive Sul Ross State field goals capped that run and opened a 10-point lead (30-20) with 5:41 before intermission. Powell notched the triple that made it a double-digit gap for the first time.
UD did reduce the margin in half with 2:35 before the break, but went into it down 37-29. Sul Ross State had shot 7-of-16 from deep.
Onyenso poured the next 17 points in the third quarter to help the Crusaders get back within one possession a couple occasions. A 9-4 run favoring Dallas started the first 3:11 minutes in the period. Onyenso knocked down both free throws to narrow the score 41-38. After the next four points went to SRSU, the senior forward dropped in back-to-back layups to negate the run. Her final layup after a two-minute scoring drought answered a layup by Sul Ross State's Jessy Stanley to make it 47-44.
Onyenso's previous personal-high was 21 points earlier this campaign at Dallas Christian College (Dec. 15th). She nearly matched that total and was responsible for all but one field goal a pair of points in the frame. Her classmate DeCoud netted the other on a jumper with six seconds to send The Crusaders behind 51-48 into the last 10 minutes.
The Lobos surged away for good as a trio of three-pointers during the first four field goals allowed them to pull out to as many as 13 points within the first three minutes of the remaining quarter of regulation. After Dallas missed a trey, Taylor Gass hit one to put her squad up 54-48. Two turnovers on each of UD's next possessions gave SRSU a chance to increase the margin. Powell had a steal and layup, while Annie Lenoir drained a three to make it a 13-point gap. Dallas trailed by as many as 14, and tried to stretch the time out as long as possible, but never were behind under double-digits the rest of the way.
Onyenso scored a game-high thanks to a career-most 13 field goals. DeCoud followed with her fifth double-double on the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds (team-high). DeCoud matched a career-high five assists – tying her total against Trinity University in 2016-17 in Irving. Onyenso made three steals and grabbed seven boards. Celsi Caraway (Arlington, Texas) was second on the squad in rebounds (8), while Panda Green (Farmersville, Texas) dished a game-high six dimes.
Dallas shot 41.4 percent from the floor and 13-for-18 (72.2%) at the free throw line. The team edged Sul Ross State on the glass 39-36. UD was effective scoring inside with 40 points in the paint compared to 16. The Lobos forced 26 turnovers and were able to gain 23 points off the miscues. They committed 21 turnovers themselves. Finally, the bench for Sul Ross State tossed in 32 points.
The Lobos were led by Gass with 19 points and 12 rebounds for a double-double. Powell and Lenoir were reserves that scored 16 and 10 points, respectively. The top scoring tandem for SRSU combined for 10 steals with five each. Sul Ross State came away with 15 steals.
DeCoud increased her career number of field goals to 446, which places her fourth all-time in the Dallas women's basketball program. She surpassed Delilah Whisenhunt, who had 444.
Onyenso tallied the most points by a Dallas player in a single contest this year. She is the first player to eclipse 30 points since DeCoud did it consecutive outings last winter (Jan. 14th, Jan. 17th)
This is the third time on the year that UD was credited at least 20 assists. It tied the second most and was two shy of a season-high.
