Dame Ellen Terry as Volumnia in Coriolanus Card
This signed photograph of Dame Ellen Terry (1847-1928) as Volumnia in Shakespeare's Coriolanus is a treasured possession, left to me by the actress Rosamund Burne [? – 1975]. Ros was a close friend of my mother, Benedicta Leigh — both had worked together on stage in the Midlands during the late forties and early fifties. They remained friends until Ros died 'in harness' in 1975 while playing Queen Mary in a production of Crown Matrimonial by Royce Ryton.
Contained in a weathered, black leather frame, the photograph provides an evocative link to a long-gone generation of actors. Sadly, I have no knowledge of the picture's provenance, other than that it was mounted and framed by art dealers and frame makers T & R Annan and Sons, established in Glasgow by photographer Thomas Annan in 1855.
It is addressed to "Winnie – In affectionate remembrance of Ellen Terry – 1902" but who was 'Winnie'? Was she an admiring member of the audience, a fellow actress, a theatrical landlady, perhaps?
The phrase "affectionate remembrance" suggests a reasonably close association. Could it possibly be Miss Winifred Emery (1861-1024) who, wrote Miss Terry in her memoirs (The Story of My Life – Recollections & Reflections), "came to us for The Belle's Stratagem and played the part that I had played years before at the Haymarket. She was bewitching, and in her white wig in the ball-room, beautiful as well. She knew how to bear herself on the stage instinctively, and could dance a minuet to perfection. The daughter of Sam Emery, a great comedian in a day of comedians, and the granddaughter of the Emery, it was not surprising that she should show aptitude for the stage."
Winifred Emery married Cyril Maude who was famous for his ability in light comedies from the pens of such as Frederick Lonsdale. Though born in 1862, Maude was still working as late as 1947, appearing as the Old Admiral in the film version of Rattigan's While the Sun Shines, directed by Anthony Asquith.
Could Ros Burne have met or worked with either Winifred or Cyril and been given the picture by 'Winnie' herself if, indeed, this is the correct Winifred? It is just possible, even though Winifred died in 1924, for Ros was born in the early years of the 20th century and had not, to my knowledge, even reached the age of twenty when she started learning the ropes under the watchful eye of Lilian Baylis at the Old Vic.
I may never discover the full story behind the framed photograph but nothing can diminish the joy I take in its possession.
What is without doubt is that the signature is genuine and that Ellen Terry played Volumnia at the Lyceum Theatre in London in 1901 opposite Sir Henry Irving as Coriolanus. Her diary entry for 16 April, one of several recorded in her memoirs, reads: "The critics who wrote their notices at the dress-rehearsal, and complained of my playing pranks with the text, were a little premature. Oh, how bad it makes one feel to find that they all think my Volumnia 'sweet', and I thought I was fierce, contemptuous, overbearing. Worse, I felt as if I must be appearing like a cabman rating his Drury Lane wife!" By 20 April, however, she feels she is "beginning to play Volumnia a little better."
The actress later comments on parents in Shakespeare's plays: "How many times Shakespeare draws fathers and daughters, and how little stock he seems to take of mothers! Portia and Desdemona, Cordelia, Rosalind and Miranda, Lady Macbeth, Queen Katherine and Hermione, Ophelia, Jessica, Hero, and many more are daughters of fathers, but of their mothers we hear nothing. My own daughter called my attention to this fact quite recently, and it is really a singular fact. Of mothers of sons there are plenty of examples: Constance, Volumnia, the Countess Roussillon, Gertrude; but if there are mothers of daughters at all, they are poor examples, like Juliet's mother and Mrs. Page."
She goes on to wonder "if in all the many hundreds of books written on Shakespeare and his plays this point has been taken up?" Having once written a paper on 'Letters in Shakespeare's Plays', which she had thought to be the first of its kind, she was given a rude awakening when she received a letter from a lady from Oxford who said she was "mistaken in thinking that there was no other contribution to the subject". Enclosed was an essay of the lady's own which led the actress to conclude that someone must have already addressed "Shakespeare's patronage of fathers and neglect of mothers!" She wonders what the mothers of Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia were like: "I think Lear must have married twice."

I'm delighted to have sold two of these greeting cards. It's a montage of British actresses from the late 19th and early 20th century from my theatrical postcard collection. Those of you interested in theatre greats will be happy to learn that Dame Ellen Terry features three times, for which I make no apology! If young actors have not heard of her, they have no right to be on the stage. [Ed. Too obstinate?] As the late Alan Rickman said — and I'm oft repeating — "The profession should be and is a kind of relay race – about information, opinions and passions being passed on."

Unless you're a theatre buff, you will probably only know Gladys Cooper for her grand ladies on screen such as Bette Davis' mother, Mrs Henry Vale, in Now, Voyager or Beatrice Lacy in Rebecca.
I always find it enchanting to see how beautiful these wonderful actresses were in their younger days. Have you ever seen a photograph of Ethel Barrymore when young? I think you'll be surprised. Which reminds me that I have a terrific theatre postcard of her brother John with which I must do something before the century turns.

This enchantress was the famous late 19th and early 20th century actress and singer Miss Marie Tempest [1864-1942], who is referred to in the description on the back of my original print as 'the prima donna of the English stage' and possessing 'a very beautiful voice which has had the training it deserves'.
I imagined a faded portrait in a frame that has suffered neglect and fire damage with a hint of gold breaking through. Naturally, I imagined no such thing but this is what came out when I faffed around in Photoshop with a couple of textures from 2 Lil' Owls: 2LO Confetti 6 (Normal), 2LO – Crackle 11 (Multiply).
Theatrical aficionados might be interested to learn that the actress was the original Judith Bliss in Noël Coward's Hay Fever. She was made a Dame in 1937.

My starting point for this piece was a divine original book-plate from 1899 of the British actress Miss Dorothea Baird (1875-1933), which I bought from collectors Vintage Views, along with a few other goodies which will be revealed in the weeks to come.
I will be posting the original on First Night Vintage at some point but here I have superimposed a vintage theatre programme from my archive for a production at the Lyric Theatre onto the curtains of the original. If I were to tell you the number of other images and textures I used, including Island in the Storm, you probably wouldn't believe me!
Dorothea Baird first appeared on stage in 1894 for the Oxford University Dramatic Society or OUDS as Iris in The Tempest. She performed in several Shakespeare productions in the following years, often with her husband, H. B. Irving, Sir Henry's son. She also originated the part of Mrs Darling in Peter Pan (1904). It was a short but notable career, ending in 1913 when she retired and concentrated her energies on charitable causes.
The text below is an extract from what is printed on the reverse side of the book-plate and is an effusive, to say the least, appraisal of Miss Baird and her trumpeted performance in the title role of George du Maurier's Trilby, produced at the Haymarket Theatre in 1895. You will not have read the like in the 20th or 21st century!
'MISS DOROTHEA BAIRD made her first appearance on the stage in 1894, when she played Iris in "The Tempest," and Galatea in "Pygmalion and Galatea," at the performances of the Oxford University Dramatic Society. After that, Miss Baird went a-touring with Mr. Ben Greet's company—whence we have derived so many stage recruits—and in her time played many parts. But to Londoners, Miss Dorothea Baird is Trilby; Trilby, in spite of her appearance as the heroine of Mr. Louis Parker's play, " The Happy Life," at the Duke of York's Theatre; in spite of her Phoebe in "As You Like It," at the St. James's; in spite of her charming Diane in "A Court Scandal," at the Court Theatre. And, whatever may be the success in store for her, it is probable that it is of her Trilby we shall tell our grandchildren when we inform them in the usual way that acting was acting in our young days [….] From the above will be learned the impressions of the moment of a remarkable "first night."'

ONE FROM THE ARCHIVE. In view of my recent posts about Maude Fealy, I thought it was time to reblog this article from 2012, partly because I have nothing else prepared!
As I have recently said on Facebook, whenever I sell a theatre-related design on whatever product, my heart leaps. Theatre is in my blood, partly because I spent over 30 years as an actress and partly because I was, as the saying goes, 'born in a trunk'. This theatre term used to mean that you were born on tour of theatrical parents and that while other babies spent their days and nights in cribs and prams, you spent yours sustained by the smell of greasepaint and curled up in the theatre's wardrobe skip, either in the wings or one of the dressing rooms. Now it has the more general meaning of having theatrical parentage. I am reminded of another phrase, which was coined by the playwright Tom Robertson, as revealed by Clement Scott in The Drama of Yesterday and Today [Vol. I] (pub. Macmillan & Co, 1899), and of…

Miss Ellen Terry as Beatrice Throw Pillows
It is such a treat to have sold a greeting card of Ellen Terry as Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing alongside a matching cushion. I have lived with this theatrical postcard all my life. It was given to my mother by an actress friend and my mother handed it on to me.
In her memoir, The Story of My Life: Recollections and Reflections, Dame Ellen writes:
'When Henry Irving put on "Much Ado About Nothing"—a play which he may be said to have done for me, as he never really liked the part of Benedick—I was not the same Beatrice at all. A great actor can do nothing badly, and there was so very much to admire in Henry Irving's Benedick. But he gave me little help. Beatrice must be swift, swift, swift! Owing to Henry's rather finicking, deliberate method as Benedick, I could never put the right pace into my part. I was also feeling unhappy about it, because I had been compelled to give way about a traditional "gag" in the church scene, with which we ended the fourth act. In my own production we had scorned this gag, and let the curtain come down on Benedick's line: "Go, comfort your cousin; I must say she is dead, and so farewell." When I was told that we were to descend to the buffoonery of:
Beatrice: Benedick, kill him—kill him if you can.
Benedick: As sure as I'm alive, I will!
I protested, and implored Henry not to do it. He said that it was necessary: otherwise the "curtain" would be received in dead silence. I assured him that we had often had seven and eight calls without it. I used every argument, artistic and otherwise. Henry, according to his custom, was gentle, would not discuss it much, but remained obdurate. After holding out for a week, I gave in. "It's my duty to obey your orders, and do it," I said, "but I do it under protest." Then I burst into tears. It was really for his sake just as much as for mine. I thought it must bring such disgrace on him! Looking back on the incident, I find that the most humorous thing in connection with it was that the critics, never reluctant to accuse Henry of "monkeying" with Shakespeare if they could find cause, never noticed the gag at all!
"This mutable woman, all instinct, sympathy and sensation, is as painstaking a student and as careful of the dignity of her art as Flaubert himself." Virginia Woolf
"[Her name] rings like a chime through the last quarter of the 19th century." George Bernard Shaw
"Blow that word charm! There is more to my acting than charm!" Ellen Terry
These three quotes are taken from a Lynne Truss article in The Guardian.

I am reblogging this post to commemorate the birth of artist John Singer Sargent on this day in 1856.
The Italian-born American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), who was renowned for his society portraits, persuaded Dame Ellen Terry (1847-1928) to sit for him in 1889. According to Tate Britain, where the painting is on display, this particular pose was never a part of her actual interpretation of Lady Macbeth, which she first performed opposite Sir Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre in 1888. The famous beetlewing costume was restored to its full glory between 2006 and 2011 and is back on display in the Ellen Terry Museum at Smallhythe Place in Kent, the last and much-loved home of the great actress. The Guardian reported in March 2011 that the gown 'had led a hard life, particularly given Terry's reputation for arriving late and dressing at frantic speed'.

via PRETTY ACTRESS WITH POOR POSTURE IN LONDON, ENGLAND (LILIAN CARLYLE) | THE CABINET CARD GALLERY
A pretty actress exhibits poor posture as she poses in London, England, at the studio of Ellis & Wallery. The performers name is Miss Lilian Carlyle, and she appears to be pushing her chest out, possibly to amplify her ample bust. Is there a chiropractor in the house? Printing on the reverse of the photograph states that the studio was established in 1884. The backdrop employed in this portrait is not particularly realistic but at least it doesn't detract from the portrait and allows Miss Carlyle to be the major focus.

Lowdown: Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy ends with a big battle putting leaders to the test.
So we've laboured through the first two Hobbit movies from Peter Jackson's arsenal, An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug, and now – having found ourselves held for ransom by a dragon of a cliff hanger at the end of episode two – we finally get to the conclusion of this movie trilogy that's based on a single children's book. In other words, enter The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
It might therefore strike you as particularly awful to find that the dragon, and thus the ending of the book this movie is based on, is dispensed with rather quickly in the beginning. From that point onwards Jackson takes us through realms previously uncharted. You see, the hobbit Bilbo (Martin Freeman) part of this The Hobbit movie is but minor, a token supporting role at best; the real hero is Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), king of the newly resurrected, ultra rich dwarf kingdom.
This king of ours is under stress. On one hand, he is obviously corrupted by the power of the treasure mountain now under his control. On the other, he is constantly harassed by parties claiming their share of the treasure: the humans who paid the price for the dwarves' awakening the dragon, as well as the elves coming to stake their claim with an entire army to make their claim with. On the other hand, the baddies' end, they are coming over with their huge army to take over the minimally populated dwarf realm and its treasure. The result? A battle of five armies, duh.
Yes, this has nothing to do with the original book. More importantly, this is a badly told and unoriginal story featuring too many not so well developed characters. Think hard: when was the last time you watched a Peter Jackson movie where the heroes are facing the exact same challenge, threatened by the exact same baddies, to the point of losing all hope? Dead easy answer: last time you watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Specifically, The Two Towers.
My recommendation to you is therefore simple. Unless you're truly fascinated by scenes of natural New Zealand beauty, for which I cannot blame you, avoid this butchering of The Hobbit story. Go and watch the real thing, the original thing, The Lord of the Rings, once again. Now, that was a good trilogy!
As for those of us who did suffer through The Hobbit trilogy, we can only lament how the prospect of another trilogy's milking cow twisted the creative minds behind one of the best series of movies ever to create such an abomination.
Worst scene: As the baddie armies converge on the battlefield, one of their secret weapons is exposed – Dune like giant earth worms burst out of the ground roaring. And then we cut into something else, never to see the Dune like giant earth worms again. WTF?
Worst dialog: Two dwarf characters going through a crisis look one another in the eye as they try to resolve their issues using deeply meaningful dialog. You expect the next line to carry weight; you expect something like "I have a dream" or "to be or not to be". Instead of immortal words, though, we receive the completely meaningless: "We are sons of Durin". Not that the audience knows who this Durin dude is, other than him being the father of his sons.
Worst solution: Those of us who criticised the whole Lord of the Rings, pointing out the entire affair could have been solved by single eagle's sortie, will be ashamed to find The Hobbit trilogy proves they were damn right all along.
Worst mystery: How come everybody knows everybody's name in this movie? As in, the baddies know who the goodies are to great detail (as in, not just the kings). Even more interestingly, the goodies know the names of the head honcho baddies even though their arrival to the battlefield was a complete surprise and those baddie forces were mysteriously spawned in a galaxy far far away. Clearly, both sides are tapping in to their adversaries mobile phone calls, NSA style.
I do not like what Peter Jackson did to The Hobbit book in his latest trilogy. That could be forgiven if the result was a good trilogy and a good movie, but it's not.
2 out of 5 extremely disappointed crabs for Five Armies, and the same goes for The Hobbit trilogy as a whole. Completely and utterly redundant.
2 out of 5 extremely disappointed crabs for Five Armies, and the same goes for The Hobbit trilogy as a whole. Completely and utterly redundant.
Who knows, maybe in a century or two somebody would actually make a good movie out of Tolkien's excellent book. [Note the use of singular rather than plural form.]

Decree-Law no. 198/2012, of 24 August, which establishes new rules intended to guarantee the integrity of transport documents and guarantee the Customs and Tax Authority more effective control of these documents and according to which it became mandatory to communicate to the Customs and Tax Authority the particulars of goods transport documents: BIAL needed a simple and economical solution which made it possible to appropriately and rapidly comply with the new legal requirements.
BIAL's goal was to communicate in real time and include the code assigned by the Customs and Tax Authority in its transport documents. It wanted a solution that wouldn't require adaptations to its ERP system, taking into account the difficulty of concretising specialised services in its management system.
"The main objective is to comply with the legal requirements with a minimum of effort and interference in our internal processes, be it in business or in Information Systems," says Rui Couto, Application Support Manager at BIAL.
BIAL, a Generix Group client since 2005, already had amongst other Generix solutions, a complete integration platform: TradeXpress. The TradeXpress platform, by means of a link to the Oracle database of its ERP, extracts all the information required for delivery notes, transport, and returns to supply data to our TransportXpress module.
To implement the project to manage and communicate transport documents to the Customs and Tax Authority, BIAL selected Generix Group's TransportXpress solution to establish a communication bridge between the management system and the Customs and Tax Authority's data centre.
TransportXpress is a solution that allows communication of transport documents in real time and is compatible with any management system and WMS on the market. An example of this is the direct link between ERP and BIAL and the Tax Office's website.
TransportXpress calls up the Customs and Tax Authority's web services using the SOAP and HTTPS protocols so as to send the notes in XML format and receive the Customs and Tax Authority's response with the code assigned to the original transport document.
This way, the solution established the communication bridge between BIAL's management system and the Customs and Tax Authority's data centre through which the transport document information is transmitted.
With Generix Group's TransportXpress, BIAL is able to communicate its transport documents in real time, day in, day out. The connection to the Oracle database is made every 5 seconds in order to extract all the information from the Notes.
Thereafter, the Customs and Tax Authority's code is returned to the Oracle database whilst the Customs and Tax Authority's web service is running (around 2/3 seconds).
With regard to the achievement of the objectives which gave rise to the project, Rui Couto concludes: "Our goals were met. The TransportXpress solution was implemented within the allotted time periods and according to our needs and specifications."

Note: I am decreasing the frequency and/or length of my posts for a bit to spend time on life and sleep. Don't be too sad or deterred from commenting.
Back when I was in college, jcrew.com had fabulous "secret" sales. (I think they might've always been at j.crew.com/secret.) Sweater coats were in its heydey and there was a $10 or $15 sale, which was very budget friendly.
J.Crew is back with secrets but they are easily divulged thanks to "friends" like jcrewaficionada, which is a great resource for researching final sale items before buying. Google for reviews though as blog search functions don't hit the comments.
If you've had your eye on a J.Crew sale item online, now is the time to check it out — get additional 30% off sale items with the "secret" code, MUSTSHOP through May 3. I'll also give you a few hints:
- Sale items are currently not final sale! It's so easy to go overboard with these additional % sales especially when there are major popbacks. I am super guilty of this.
- The quality of the factory items is actually not bad and their prices fluctuate a lot. The factory is also accessible 24/7, even if J.Crew delinks it from the front page during the week! Unfortunately, you cannot return these item to normal stores.
- While the website updates at midnight PST with promotions, inventory is refreshed every morning. If you're stalking something, bookmark it because it takes time for the J.Crew sale pages to refresh.
- You can return Madewell and J.Crew items in the same box. The return label fee is quite practical for a massive return. Just make sure you record your label tracking number in case it gets lost!
- Get another 6% back from eBates!
Some recent faves in addition to the red Valentinas that are on sale in store only at this point, as well as some disappointing full price non-faves:
I tried the Minquiers III and Galathee tee from Saint James, and am still a major non-fan of these tees! They fit smaller than the other styles, but the sleeves are still too relaxed and cannot be saved with mere sleeve rolling. I loved the new Odette blouse from the Altuzarra collection for CFDA (you might recall Gap used to host the winner's collections), which is pricey for a shirt, but priced appropriately with their other Thomas Mason shirts.
I loved the big-shot dot circle skirt (also way cheaper in stores). I would've liked the Altuzarra Sabrina dress if they hadn't sewn/glued/fully affixed the white ribbon on the dress. It is really well made and flattering otherwise. The fresco floral dress was the first fresco print item to completely sell out at first markdown. Its fit is similar to the Sabrina. Lastly, the factory has two floral embroidered dresses that are a knock off of the Mirabel styles from last summer. I prefer the white/red version, but really, wait for more markdowns.

PRODUCT: Salmon Paws 100% Pure Alaskan Wild Salmon Omega Stix
Quantity: 1.4 oz. (2 sticks)
Price paid: $4.99
Ingredients: "Salmon & Salt… That's it. Really!!" (as listed on the package)
Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude protein (min.): 68%
Crude fat (min.): 14%
Crude fiber (min.): 1%
Moisture (max.): 15%
Ash (max.): 4%
Country of origin/manufacture: Made in USA
Website: http://www.salmonpaws.com
When I tell the folks who work at Pet Store A that Bowdu is not to have any processed chicken, beef, or grain, they are totally understanding and bust out the "fancy" treats. Once, they broke apart some Salmon Paws jerky for my dogs. Bowpi, who can barely stay focused for more than two seconds when around strangers or in new environments, immediately had her butt planted on the carpet. All eyes were on the clerk as he handed out the treats, and seconds were just as happily consumed. They were so persistent, they even got offered a third bite that particular day. Tearing Bowpi away from her new best friend at the pet store was a bit of a challenge.
Impressed by their fixation and hoping to win back my own dogs, I grabbed a two-pack of "OMEGA STIX" sitting next to the cash register. The simplicity of the packaging and the promise of natural, skin-boosting vitamins was attractive to me. Then she rang up this tiny little packet at practically five dollars for about eight inches of dried fish, and I immediately experienced pricetag whiplash. I can buy a whole bag of large dried anchovies for less than that, or better yet, a slab of fresh salmon to dehydrate and work into jerky on my own! However, my credit card was already on the other side of the counter and the order was processed before I had a chance to react. I collected my purchases with my tail tucked between my legs and scurried home to hit up the Salmon Paws website, hoping i wouldn't feel even more punished by questionable company ethics or something.
Luckily, they seem to be a conscientious and small, family-run operation. They've been around since 2008 and rely on more small-scale pet boutiques, pet magazines, and internet sales to distribute and advertise their products. The size of the company probably accounts for the high price, but at least I don't feel like they're trying to pull anything over on me. Aside from jerky and sticks, they also offer meal supplements with salmon, sweet potato, broccoli and carrots that look pretty good, as well as feline treats.
The website states that the treats are all made with "human grade" ingredients (a statement which is legally ambiguous and might be more cynically considered a marketing tactic rather than an accurate indication of quality). According to the interview linked above, they can make this claim because their treats are manufactured at a Washington-based plant that is licensed to make food for human consumption. So I felt comfortable taking a couple bites of these Omega Stix for myself before offering Bowdu and Bowpi their respective pieces.
Yes, you can call me weird for regularly sampling my pets' treats (though I've never tried their kibble or raw food). Of course, I keep in mind that tastiness is probably relative to species. After all, they both lick their own buttholes and I've seen Bowpi take a bite out of cow poop before, much to my horror — obviously, certain lines must be drawn. But if I had any fear that the treats I sample are going to kill or disgust me, why would I feed it to them?
As a human, I also understand how to savor food. In the time it took me to linger over my soft, chewy, flavorful inch of salmon stick and grab my camera, both dogs had already gobbled up their share and commenced with much lip-licking. Their contentment was apparent. The value of the treat? Not so much.
If price was no obstacle, Salmon Paws Omega Stix would get an A grade! I bet they would work wonders broken up into little nibbles as training treats for dogs that need a strong motivational incentive.
However, here at the House of Two Bows, price is a significant factor for consideration. In this case, it's a major deterrent. I think both Bowdu and Bowpi would be just as happy with salmon sashimi or a whole fried fish from Ranch 99, which would cost just as much and provide a longer duration of eating pleasure.
Final Grade: B+

At times, as an eCommerce seller, you might want to provide discounts to only a specific customers (No, not the user roles). Some sellers provide exclusive offers to individual customers. If you are in the middle of providing such a discount, you are at the right place.
This article guides you through how to give both product level and cart level discounts to individual customers.
Before you start, please download and install the WooCommerce Discount Rules PRO plugin. The guide assumes that you already have the plugin installed and activated.
How to create product level discounts for specific users?
Product level discounts are applied directly on the price of product(s) or category(s). To get started with the customer specific discount on a product level, follow these steps.
Step 1:
Create a new rule in the Price Discount Rules tab and enter the general details of the rule such as Order(Priority), Rule name, Rule description, Method and Validity period.
Method : Select the Method as Quantity based by product/category and BOGO deals for discounts depending on quantity (Buy x items and get y discount) or Dependent product based discount for discounts depending on other products (Buy A and get discount on B).
Go to the next tab.
Step 2: Define the discount conditions as follows:
- Apply to : Choose All Products / Specific Products / Specific Categories - as required.
- Customers : Select Only Given and then select the required customers from the dropdown. You can also search for the email id in the text box.
- Purchase history : Check the box if the discount applies on a certain purchase history of the selected customers, otherwise leave it unchecked.
Proceed to the next tab once you're done.
Step 3:
Since we selected the "Method" as Quantity based by product/category and BOGO deals in the general tab, we need to define quantities involved in the discount values such as:
- Minimum Quantity: Minimum purchase quantity
- Maximum Quantity: Maximum purchase quantity
- Adjustment Type: Percentage discount (15%) / Price discount ($500) / Product discount (Freebie)
- Value: The discount value (15 / 500 / Freebie product)
Save the rule after entering all the values. The discount is now applied on the chosen products and is available only to the customers you selected.
How to create cart level discounts for specific users?
Cart level discounts are applied on the cart of the customer and not on the products. Here are the steps to create customer specific discount on a cart level:
Step 1:
Create a new rule in the Cart Discount Rules tab and enter the general details of the rule such as Order(Priority), Rule name, Rule description and Validity period.
Note: There is no "Method" property in cart discount rules.
Step 2:
Let us say the discount you want to give is, "Get $50 off on purchase of $500", for specific customers alone. Define the discount conditions as follows:
Add 2 new conditions. You can add as many conditions per rule as you want. This example needs two conditions.
- Condition 1 - For customer specification:
- Type: Users in list
- Value: Select the required customers from the dropdown. You can also search for the email id in the text box.
- Condition 2 - For cart discount specification:
- Type: Subtotal at least
- Value: 500
Step 3:
Since the discount we are providing is $50, set the following values in the Discount tab:
Discount Type: Price Discount
Value: 50
The discount has now been applied for the customers you've chosen. If they purchase for at least $500, they shall get a reduction of $50 in the total amount payable.
Just like this, WooCommerce Discount Rules lets you create other kinds of discounts with utter easiness. user role based discounts or bulk discounts or BOGO deals or any kind of advanced discounts on your WooCommerce retail store.
Be it product level or cart level discounts, you only have to spare barely five to ten minutes for the entire setup. Pretty awesome, isn't it?
Let us know how helpful you found this article and our plugin in the comments below. We would love to hear from you!

Losing an Agent25 03 2016
Losing an agent hurts. Sometimes agents can't sell your books, sometimes you're not a good match, and sometimes they leave the business. But the most painful way to lose an agent is to death.
Earlier this week, I lost an agent I loved. Mary Sue Seymour lost her long and hard-fought battle against cancer. I still can't believe she's gone. Even last week, she was still posting her usual upbeats messages. She saw beauty and goodness everywhere she went. And she had the gift of spreading the gifts of kindness and encouragement wherever she went.
I admired her as a person, and as an agent, she was awesome. I've never known an agent to respond to every email within 5-10 minutes. Soon after I signed on with her, I sent the final manuscript revisions to her after midnight. The following morning at 7 am, she emailed with a list of 10 publishers who had the manuscript.
A few months later, she completed all the back-and-forth contract negotiations until we had everything we both wanted on a 3-book deal. I didn't discover until later that she'd been undergoing twice-weekly chemo sessions the whole time. She never once mentioned her health. And she must have been doing the same for her other clients, because a month later, she was named Agent of the Year by the American Christian Fiction Writers.
I'm grateful that I signed with her. I only wish she could be here to see the first book in the Sisters & Friends Amish series, Change of Heart, release on May 3. I wrote this book at her request, and she offered to review it as I went along. She shepherded it through the synopsis and early draft stages, even though I never sent it as official submission. When it was completed, I was thrilled when she offered to represent me. The book had been her baby all along. Although she can't be at my book launch in person, I know she'll be there in spirit. And at all my signings, I'll be wearing the lovely bracelet she sent me at Christmas to celebrate my first book contract as Rachel J. Good.
To honor her life and generous, caring nature, I'm dedicating my Rachel J. Good Twitter feed to celebrating Random Acts of Kindness. Feel free to share any acts you do for others or those you hear about. Let's flood social media with positive messages.

The exit is valued at absolute returns of around 146%, while annual returns are pegged at 24%. The fund had invested Rs 200 crore between August and December 2011 as equity capital.
The fund had made this investment from Indiareit Domestic Scheme IV, which was raised in June 2010 with Rs 922cr corpus deployed across eight transactions.
The fund has already returned an amount of Rs 106 crore out of this to investors from three partial exits. Of these, two investments were made in self-development projects being carried out under the brand 'Address Makers' in Whitefield and Electronic City, Bengaluru. The third partial exit was made through interest payments received from an investment with the Marvel Group in Pune.
"From our investors' perspective, exits are perhaps the most visible and important aspect of the investment life cycle and we are pleased to be validating the performance of Scheme IV at this early juncture," said Khushru Jijina, managing ditrector, Piramal Fund Management. "With the exit from Worli, we will be returning a large quantum of the initial corpus at a very attractive return. This cycle of exits from Fund IV will continue as we proactively generate more exits in the coming months."
With the exit from Omkar 1973, the Fund will make its first full exit thereby resulting in four of the eight transactions having generated a return at this stage.
Additionally, the fund is working on one more complete exit and another partial exit within the next quarter. According to Piramal Fund Management, with all of the above exit proceeds being distributed Domestic Scheme IV will have returned more than 75% of the Fund corpus by December 2015.

Four Stroke Diesel Combustion Engine
A four-stroke diesel engine (also known as a four cycle diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning a crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed:
As the piston moves down the suction valve opens, air is drawn into the cylinder liner. At bottom dead centre (BDC) the suction valve closes trapping the air within the cylinder.
The piston moves up compressing the air. As the air is compressed the volume decreases whilst the temperature increases. The compression ratio on the average diesel engine is in the range of 8:1 to 10:1.
Diesel is injected into the cylinder just before the piston reaches top dead center (TDC); the high temperature within the liner causes the diesel to ignite. The 'explosion' pushes the piston down turning the crankshaft in the process. This part of the cycle is often referred to as the 'power' stroke. The firing order determines when each cylinder fire's, with cylinders firing at different times power can be transferred more evenly.
When the crankshaft completes two revolutions (4 strokes) each piston will have completed one power stroke. Most engines have a air to fuel ratio of between 12.5:1 and 16:1 (lots of air, not so much fuel).
With the piston at BDC, the exhaust valve opens to allow the burned exhaust gas to be expelled to the exhaust system. The piston moves up the cylinder expelling the exhaust gas. With the piston at TDC the exhaust valve closes and the process begins again.
Note: The above cycle is for a compression ignition engine (diesel engine) not a spark ignition engine (petrol engine).

Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines. Petrol engines have spark plugs, diesel engines do not, but the four stroke process is common to both types of engines.
Stroke 1 = Intake (suck)
Stroke 2 = Compression (squeeze)
Stroke 3 = Power (bang!)
Stroke 4 = Exhaust (blow)

BackpackingJune 18, 2013
Backpacking is a popular recreation in some parts of the world. Backpackers come in group, pair while there are also some who do the solo expedition. Travelers find it the most pleasurable, inexpensive way to explore a new place and experience nature.
Like any other outdoor activities it also requires a certain level of fitness, proper gears and the basic hiking essentials such as food, water, clothes, first aid kit, fire making items, a map and maybe an sm57 at musicians friend if you're up to videoke singing at night with your buddies. Of course you don't want to miss the beauty of wilderness so always have that camera handy. Above all, you need to secure a safe place to stay if you are to travel from one country to another. Doing an online hotel reservation is the easier and the economical way to do it.
When I was in Cebu a couple years I've came across with so many backpackers coming from different countries and somehow I pondered... there must be something in that activity aside from pure fun that they find so rewarding. Later I realized perhaps, it's just the simplicity of it.
