Why VR Is Failing
April 10, 2017
As a market, we seem to have trouble learning that three key elements are necessary for a new technology to take hold: It has to appear complete, it has to be compelling, and it has to seem like a value -- that is, be affordable. Compared to what we have today, the car that opened up the automotive market in the U.S. was none of those things -- yet it was incredibly successful.

February 2, 2017
Facebook is working on a video app for set-top boxes, according to a Wednesday report. The social network wants to deliver longer-form video content -- and with it video ads -- to the living room TV, the one screen it has been unable to reach.

It likely will offer its content through an over-the-top service similar to Netflix.

January 12, 2017
Trust Razer to come up with something completely ridiculous that I need in my life immediately. Project Ariana is a projector that incorporates Razer's full-spectrum lighting system, Chroma.

Tech on TV: A Little Realism Goes a Long Way
October 27, 2016
Watching TV shows often requires the suspension of disbelief -- that is, a willingness to press pause on one's critical faculties in order to believe the unbelievable. Realism often must be secondary to story, in other words. This very often is necessary when computers are used to advance plot lines, when programmers and hackers alike can produce tremendous results in seconds.
Battlefield 1: Big, Bombastic and Very Loosely Based
October 25, 2016
If filmmaker Michael Bay -- known for the Transformers and other over-the-top films -- were to decide to make a World War I movie, and if he chose to rely on comic books for research, the result would be very much like Electronic Arts' newly released video game Battlefield 1. This latest entry in the popular series moves the action from recent modern settings to the Great War.
Amazon Music Unlimited Rolls Gently Down the Stream
October 13, 2016
Amazon on Wednesday rolled out its Music Unlimited cut-rate subscription streaming service, available on its Echo, Echo Dot and Amazon Tap devices for as little as $4 a month for a single device.

Time Warner Cable Really Doesn't Like Me
August 9, 2016
After surviving well over a year as a cord-cutter, I recently returned to the cable fold -- and after less than a month, I'm having major regrets. The problem isn't with the service itself or even with the pricing. The problem is with the lies. I wasn't entirely happy with my cord-cutting solution, but I wasn't eager to go back to a high-priced cable service either.
Apple Might Need to Think Different About TV
August 5, 2016
Apple's tough negotiating stance apparently has hobbled its efforts to bring entertainment industry companies on board with its planned streaming TV service. Talks with Disney, 21st Century Fox and CBS reportedly have fallen through. Had the entertainment and cable TV industry given in, Apple's demands would have turned current practices topsy-turvy.

The cover of the classic album, CHEAP THRILLS, by cartoonist R. Crumb for Janis Joplin and Big Brother And The Holding Company became a real folk art classic of the 60's generation. But, a new parody of the cover, DEEP CHILLS, by the Belgian techno-dance band, The Lords Of Acid, is drawing government censorship over in Germany, where the album may not be displayed on stores shelves and may only be sold to persons over the age of 18 with proper ID.
The album is scheduled for a later release in April in the U.S., but likely won't draw quite as many government censorship problems, although the cover art might keep the album out of many more mainstream record stores.
The Lords Of Acid are a funny sort of act. Their music is hot dance club music, but their lyrics and stage shows are decidedly adult in nature. Their act involves strange costumes normally involved in fetish porn such as bondage. The band seems to have a cult following of fans, and has been a relatively decent selling act despite their fringe market appeal.
Shinefish Films, a California company that normally produces adult films will shoot a music video for the band. Songs on the album will be produced by different producers including, Chris Vrenna, former drummer for Nine Inch Nails, who has also worked for Marilyn Manson as well.
The album will be released on one of Sony's labels in Germany, but will be released on the Metropolis label in the U.S.

Collections agency boosts Indiana parking ticket revenue
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Parking scofflaws in Bloomington have a new incentive to pay their tickets on time.
The city this year started sending tickets that have gone unpaid for 30 days to a collections agency in an effort to boost revenue and improve efficiency. So far, the agency has brought in nearly $80,000. That's an increase of almost $26,000 from the first seven months of 2011.
City officials tell The Herald-Times (http://bit.ly/NmJdQ5 ) the new system allows Capital Recovery Systems to pursue an unlimited number of unpaid tickets. The city was limited to filing 50 claims a week under the old system that required its legal department to pursue violators through court.
The city gets the amount of the fine. Capital Recovery Systems charges violators a fee of 30 percent of the ticket.

Obama names Pope-basher to White House Faith advisory council (Harry Knox)
Barack Obama has named Harry Knox of the Human Rights Campaign to the White House's Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. From this:
[L]ast month, [Knox] described Pope Benedict XVI and certain Catholic bishops as "discredited leaders" because of their opposition to same-sex marriage... Knox also criticized the Catholic Knights of Columbus as being "foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression" because of the Knights' support of Proposition 8. The latter was a ballot initiative that amended California's state constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, and passed in November 2008... Knox told CNSNews.com that he "absolutely" stands by his criticism of the pope.

No mention of the Pope, and completely off-topic again Fred. Stop eating gun powder you nut. It's rotting your brain. You hurt our cause with your incessant repetitive racist rantings. Will it ever end? I have been waiting 5 years for you to shut up. Have some decency and manners, please. Shut the fuck up. We get your message.

_...because of their opposition to same-sex marriage...support of Proposition 8._ That's pretty funny. Is this guy serious? He should apply for a job at the San Francisco Chronicle, the all-gay-marriage-all-the-time newspaper (or maybe not, as it will probably fold this year -- no connection there I'm sure). Of course this guy would never be called an extremist -- it's people who don't think two men ought to be able to 'marry' each other and have that seen as more or less equivalent to a traditional marriage who are the extremists and 'oppressors'. It's this complete moral inversion that gets under my skin. Of course this guy Knox himself is gay. I didn't watch it, but apparently here in this video [1] he says homosexuality is 'a gift from God'. _by the way obama hate race wife hates the name white house, she calls it the people house._ I have not heard or seen that, but I would not be surprised.

Vilnius, Lithuania – Edita Bagdoniene furrows her brow as her 3-year-old son, Mykolas, splashes mischievously in puddles outside. Mykolas is absorbed in his game, but his mother is distracted with worry.
She wants to enroll him in preschool, where his games would have more structure, and he would learn to play with other children. But by her calculations, Mykolas would not get to see the inside of a preschool before his 10th birthday, barring payment of a hefty bribe.

Social media giant Facebook is now being run from its new headquarters, designed by architect Frank Gehry, which is intended to reflect the company's ongoing aim to "connect the world".
The co-founder of the website, Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page: "The building itself is pretty simple and isn't fancy.
"That's on purpose. We want our space to feel like a work in progress. When you enter our buildings, we want you to feel how much left there is to be done in our mission to connect the world."
Zuckerberg said Facebook's goal was to create the "perfect engineering space" for its teams.
"To do this, we designed the largest open floor plan in the world — a single room that fits thousands of people," he added.
"There are lots of small spaces where people can work together, and it's easy for people to move around and collaborate with anyone here."
On the roof is a 3.6-hectare park "with walking trails and many outdoor spaces to sit and work," said Zuckerberg.

"Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64."
Thanks to Paul McCartney (who just turned 74!) for this classic "Baby Boomer" refrain! The Baby Boomers – born between 1946 and 1964 – have long been the focus of attention by the media and academia. Studies about their buying habits, parenting skills and political affiliations have filled books. Sociologists are now looking at another stage in the life of this generational phenomenon – how they are aging.
Boomers are now entering a new phase of life not only for themselves but for society – a potentially long period of years following partial or full retirement from their careers and full-time parenting in which they have time, uncommitted funds, and a desire for relevant and meaningful pursuits.
Jewish professionals have also observed that Boomers are disengaging from the Jewish community in record numbers. Communities across the country are looking at this large demographic cohort and exploring opportunities to continue, or even strengthen, their connection to Jewish life.
Through the Boomer Engagement Network (BEN), Jewish Learning Venture is working with synagogues and Jewish organizations to build a network for developing, implementing and evaluating Jewish experiences and resources that support Boomers engaging in Jewish life.
Become part of this exciting new venture: Join the Boomer Engagement Network!
Along with lay and professional leaders from our community, Jewish Learning Venture is asking the questions:

Nanny Nettie-Kin made Hot Cross Buns using the receipt in "The Tasha Tudor Cookbook". As we mentioned back in our "Forget-Me-Not Fair" post, little Bobby was a problem for Nanny at Hot Cross Bun baking time. This is Part Two of "Nanny Nettie-Kin Makes Tasha Tudor Hot Cross Buns"... including little Bobby.

Some of these photographs were taken last year (2014) but we have not posted them here at the Corgyncombe Courant until now.
As Nanny's back is turned, busy with putting some of her spices away, Bobby whispers to little Hitty "Nanny Nettie-Kin won't miss any of those buns."
"Bobby, they look good but maybe you shouldn't take them!" replies little Hitty.
"Nanny won't see or hear me!" Bobby whispers.
Bobby goes over to the chair and starts dragging it across the floor.
Bobby keeps a keen eye on Nanny. The chair makes scraping noises as Bobby drags it closer to the table.... squeeeak.
Bobby climbs up on the chair as Nanny turns around and exclaims "Robert! It's not nice to take Nanny's hot cross buns!"
Under her elbow, Bobby watches Nanny Nettie-Kin squeeze icing onto the hot cross buns.
Whilst the Hittys have their buns and milk, Nanny Nettie-Kin decides to have a little one-on-one talk with Bobby along with goat's milk and hot cross buns.
Sporting a milk mustache, Bobby states "But Nanny, I'm just a growing boy!"
Nanny Nettie-Kin sighs...

Princeton nets shutout soccer win over Goldsboro
By Andrew Stevens
Published in Sports on April 17, 2012 1:46 PM
Princeton needed fewer than 10 minutes to set the tempo offensively against Goldsboro on Monday evening.
The Cougars spent the majority of the evening trying to recover.
The Bulldogs (8-4-1, 1-0 CC) dominated possession of the ball, found open teammates in space and had four different scorers in a 4-0 victory at Cougar Stadium. It was the Carolina 1-A Conference opener for both teams.
McKenzie Smale lobbed a shot over Goldsboro senior keeper Sarah Moore's head in the sixth minute to give Princeton a 1-0 lead.
The Cougars threatened in the eighth minute when Holly Pittard won the ball near midfield, dribbled past multiple defenders before her shot on goal was saved by Bulldogs' keeper Amber Hill.
Ashley Jacobs' corner kick in the 15th minute deflected off Moore's fingertips and into the goal as the margin grew to 2-0.
Pittard's shot in the 27th minute missed just wide. Princeton held an 8-4 edge in shots on goal in the first half and a 5-0 advantage in corner kicks.
"We were trying to find each other spread out and get the ball where the defense isn't," Princeton head coach Trent Heil said. "We owned the space today and that's why we were so successful."
Jessica Brush's free kick from outside the 18-yard box in the 51st minute increased the Bulldogs' lead to 3-0. Kaytlin Casey capped the scoring by collecting a rebound and firing it past Moore.
Goldsboro (2-4-2, 0-1) struggled to generate scoring chances and finished with just eight shots on goal. The Cougars routinely few passes to their forwards only be to turned away by Bulldogs' defenders before getting off a quality shot. Hill recorded six saves for her sixth shutout of the season.
"That's a good team," Heil said of Goldsboro. "They have some real good weapons on their team. Defensively, we filled in the gaps pretty well so that when they did get there we were jumping on that."
Princeton visits South Johnston today. Goldsboro travels to Rosewood on Wednesday.

New trend: 5 recent Japanese manga that became musicals
With a new theater built specifically for manga/anime-turned-stage productions, the new genre of 2.5-dimensional plays is establishing itself in Japan as a completely new form of entertainment.
2.5 dimensional refers to manga/animation musicals, a cross between the 2-dimensional manga and anime with 3-dimensional theater.
AiiA Theater Tokyo, built solely for 2.5-dimensional productions
1. One Piece
First on the list is One Piece. This musical production is set to become a kabuki play, the first time ever for a manga/anime. Not much has been released regarding details of the production set to premiere in October at the Shibashi Enbujo in Tokyo, a Kabuki theater.
2. Naruto
After the end of its 15-year run as a weekly manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, Naruto is now ready for the stage. With cast and crew recently introduced to the public, fans are eagerly waiting for this musical to inaugurate the Aiia Theater Tokyo, the new theater built specifically for 2.5-dimensional productions.
3. Death Note
Already remade into a feature film, Death Note is now going to be a musical. One of Japan's most popular young actors, Tatsuya Fujiwara, who played Light Yagami in the movie, was said to be upset when he found out he wasn't cast in the musical. It premieres on April 6.
When a prosecutor discovers he has months to live, can he turn his life around and tear down corruption? Find out in the gripping melodrama Punch:
4. The Prince of Tennis
This original manga-turned musical is also known as "Tenimyu," short for "TeniPuri Musical," and it premiered in May 2003. Success of this musical inspired other 2.5-dimensional plays to follow in its footsteps. The 3rd season of The Prince of Tennis musical is set to start on February 13.
5. Yowamushi Pedal
Entering its 4th production since the premiere of the musical Yowamushi Pedal in 2012, Yowamushi Pedal Interhigh Chapter: The Second Order is set to open on March 13. Giant posters of the production are currently up at Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo.
*The Seven Samurai
Akira Kurosawa's classic film The Seven Samurai was turned into an animation 10 years ago, and now a musical based on the anime is scheduled for production. The story is mostly the same, but set in the future. With the original being such a respected work of art by the master of Japanese cinema, this musical has some big shoes to fill.
Besides those listed here, more musicals are scheduled and being produced for the coming year. Fans seem to be enjoying the musicals, and with high revenue from merchandising and ticket sales, this new type of 2.5-dimensional entertainment looks like it's here to stay.

COLLEGE STATION — The Texas Pecan Short Course – an "immersion class" for prospective growers, new orchard managers, county agents and horticulture students — will be Jan. 27-31 at Texas A&M University in College Station, according to Monte Nesbitt, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horticulturist.
Registration is $150 for general participants and $50 for students and spouses.
An updated pecan handbook will be provided with registration, and a tour of the pecan orchard at Texas A&M on Thursday will include a steak dinner. Participants also will receive a Texas Pecan Variety Board — a unique display of the 48 most common pecan varieties grown in the state.
Program coordinators Nesbitt and Dr. Larry Stein, AgriLife Extension horticulturist in Uvalde, will host several guest lecturers during the five-day program, including Dr. George McEachern, who has been lecturing at the event since its beginnings in the 1960s and author of the Texas Pecan Handbook.
Topics include plant physiology, health benefits of pecans, marketing, tax planning and integrated pest management.
"With pecans gaining national recognition for the increased export trade to China, short course enrollment in the last four years has been high," Nesbitt said. "Attendees not only get introduced to the basics of pecan growing, but they will get to see the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pecan Breeding Laboratory at Snook and the Texas A&M Storey Teaching & Research Pecan Orchard."
Registration can be completed online at http://events.tamu.edu/EmsRegics/TexasPecanShortCourse2014. For more information, contact Nesbitt at 979-862-1218 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Opening on
Valentine's Day, the teen romance Endless
Love was the first wide release (2,872 theaters) from a female director in
2014. The original, starring teen queen Brooke Shields, was released in July
1981 and made $31 million during its run. Shana Feste's remake, a more hopeful look
at obsessive first love, opened in fifth place behind two other remakes of
1980s films (About Last Night and RoboCop) and has grossed $22,311,420 so far.
Feste was pregnant with her first child during the filming of Endless Love and brought her newborn son
into the editing room. The Universal release is her third film, following a
Sundance dramatic competition debut (2009's The
Greatest) and the divisive Country
Strong (2010).
Nancy Buirski,
the director of Afternoon of a Faun:
Tanaquil le Clercq, founded the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and
served as its director for a decade. (This year's festival takes place on April
3 to 6 in Durham, North Carolina.) Buirski's portrait of the prima ballerina
known as Tanny looks at her relationships with famed choreographers George
Balanchine (her husband of 17 years) and Jerome Robbins, who created the Debussy
pas de deux Afternoon of a Faun
specifically for her. After premiering at the New York Film Festival last year,
the Kino Lorber release has made $63,980 from three theaters — the highest
grossing documentary by a female director this month.
Former script
supervisor Chiemi Karasawa's first documentary, Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, is a portrait of the living
legend. The tart-tongued Broadway
veteran dropped the F-bomb on the Today
Show while promoting the IFC Films release, and the 89-year-old Stritch
doesn't hold back when discussing her acting and singing career, declining
health, or leaving her beloved Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan. After debuting at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me grossed $57,827 from six theaters,
including one in the tony Detroit suburb where the Michigan native now resides.
Jenee LaMarque
makes her feature film debut as writer and director of The Pretty One, which stars Zoe Kazan as a shy young woman who
steps into the shoes of her outgoing twin sister. LaMarque's husband, composer
Julian Wass, did the music for The Pretty
One as well as her short film Spoonful.
The Dada Films release grossed $13,769 from five theaters. Veteran actress and
filmmaker Josiane Balasko (Too Beautiful
for You, French Twist) has had
less luck with her latest film, Demi-Soeur,
which made only $943 in one theater. The screwball French comedy distributed by
Rialto Premieres reunites Balasko with Michel Blanc (two of the founders of Le Splendid cafe-theater company) as siblings
involved in a reluctant family reunion.
documentaries from women directors returned to theaters in February. (These
self-distributed films did not report grosses.) After a festival run in 2012, The Standbys got a New York City release
at the independent Quad Cinema. Stephanie Riggs profiles a group of Broadway
understudies in her documentary debut, which is currently available as a DVD or
digital rental and download through the film's website. In The New Black, Yoruba Richen (Promised
Land) explores African-American attitudes towards gay marriage leading up
to a 2012 voter referendum in Maryland. Initially released last November, The New Black is available for local
screenings through Tugg and will air on PBS as part of the Independent Lens series
on June 16.
The foreign-language
releases 7 Boxes and Mars at Sunrise, from Paraguay and the
Palestinan territories, respectively, mine intimate horror from everyday circumstances. Directed
by Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schembori, 7
Boxes follows a teen toiling at the massive public market in Asuncion who gets
pulled into a devilish obstacle course when he's hired to transport a series of
mysterious crates. The Breaking Glass Pictures release is available as VOD via
Amazon Instant Video and iTunes. Writer and director Jessica Habie moves from
documentaries to her first feature Mars
at Sunrise, an impressionistic look at a Palestinian artist reliving his
imprisonment and torture by an Israeli soldier (who has his own submerged
creative urges). The Eyes Infinite Films production is available as a digital
rental or download through the Mars at
Sunrise website. Proceeds help fund the Fajr Falestine Film Collective,
co-founded by Habie to produce adventurous, experimental narratives about
Middle East life.
Bottled Up is the second feature from
writer and director Enid Zentelis, whose lovely Evergreen was released in 2004 after debuting in the dramatic
competition at Sundance. Melissa Leo stars as a put-upon working-class woman
with a pain pill-addicted daughter and an environmentalist boarder who offers
new hope. Zentelis found out she was expecting her second child the day the
film was green-lit and a complicated pregnancy delayed production, but she ended
up filming Bottled Up with her
four-month-old on set. The film is already available on DVD as well as through
Amazon Instant Video, iTunes and other digital platforms. A pregnancy also
complicated the timeline of Kestrin Pantera's autobiographical Let's Ruin It with Babies. The musician
and actress wrote and directed the film, casting herself and her husband
Jonathan Grubb as a creative couple contemplating parenthood, and Pantera's much-discussed
(but still unexpected) pregnancy added a new urgency to the shooting schedule. Let's Ruin It with Babies is available
via Amazon Instant Video and as a download from the movie's website.
These small,
independent releases have not posted their grosses, and neither has Disney for
its latest animated film, The Pirate
Fairy, which began its exclusive run at El Capitan Theatre, just across
Hollywood Boulevard from where Frozen
received two Academy Awards. The Pirate
Fairy, the fifth feature in the Tinker Bell series, was made for Walt
Disney Studios Home Entertainment and will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on
April 1. Director Peggy Holmes has a long history with Disney, making her
directorial debut with the straight-to-DVD release The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (2008) and co-directing the 2012
Tinker Bell movie Secret of the Wings.
(A former dancer, Holmes also choreographed the 1992 musical Newsies with director Kenny
Ortega.) The latest Tinker Bell installment introduces a rogue fairy named
Zarina (voiced by Christina Hendricks) who joins forces with pirates, including
a young James Hook (Tom Hiddleston). The
Pirate Fairy has been released in theaters in Europe and grossed $13,476,665
since February 13, with more than half coming from the United Kingdom, birthplace
of Scottish author and playwright J.M. Barrie, the creator of Neverland.

Waldman legacy stays
in the family
Mary Ann Grossmann,
St. Paul Pioneer Press,
April 20, 2003, Page 11E
Brett Waldman is on a high these days. He started a new publishing house, he now owns Waldman House Press, and he got married.
"There's been a world of change in my life over this last year. Lots of positive things," Waldman says happily.
He had been president of the Minneapolis-based Bookmen book distributorship and of Waldman House Press when the Bookmen was sold last year. At that time, Ned Waldman didn't want to sell Waldman House Press to his son. So Brett struck out on his own and launched TRISTAN Publishing, dedicated to publishing books with a message.
About a month ago, Ned changed his mind and offered to sell Waldman House to Brett.
"It was a surprise, and also exciting, when my dad came to me with the deal," Brett says. "I think he realized he would rather his legacy carry on through me rather than one of the monster publishing corporations. It worked out, and we closed the deal. I rented a truck, hired some guys and moved 140,000 books to my TRISTAN offices in Golden Valley."
This is good news for readers because it ensures the continuation of a press that's published books such as the "Cup of Christmas Tea" series and inspirational picture books like Warren Hanson's "The Next Place." Waldman House will now become an imprint of TRISTAN Publishing.
About the time Waldman started his new press, he met Sheila Bleeke as they both waited for early morning flights out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. They were married Jan. 17 in a quiet ceremony at the Como Conservatory in St. Paul.
"I was standing in the security line at the airport, and there she was," Waldman recalls. "When she walked by, it was kind of 'Wow!'"

Less than a month ago we launched a brand new affiliate program on ShareASale affiliate network. In under three weeks the program cracked the network's prestigious Top 100 PowerRank, becoming one of the top-performing affiliate programs on ShareASale.
On obvious reasons, I cannot share all of the techniques that lead to such a stellar rise, but there are three things that I would like to highlight for all other merchants on ShareASale — the three seriously powerful features that every affiliate program on this network has at their disposal, yet very few take due advantage of them. As a result, thousands of merchants miss out on readily available opportunities to optimize their affiliate programs. Here they are (in no particular order):
Holiday Center Placements
This is by far one of the most cost-efficient ways to recruit affiliates on ShareASale. At the time of this post $100 or less (depending on the number of holidays you select) will buy you a 1-year-long placement in the holiday category of choice. Not only is it an impressively long-term placement, but it's also an extremely effective one – yielding click-to-application conversion rates of 50% or higher.
However, it is still one of the most underused affiliate onboarding functionalities available on ShareASale. Take the upcoming St. Patrick's Day, example. How many affiliate programs have their ads in the respective category? One:
One would suppose that costumes-oriented advertisers should be all over this extremely targeted opportunity (as well as those merchants that sell Celtic jewelry, thematic T-shirts, party invitations, gift cards, and so on).
To find this feature, you want to log into your merchant account and then navigate to Program Boost > Interface Placement > Holiday Center.
Bonus Campaigns
While relational (or intangible) motivators can move the needle, let's be realistic: affiliates are in this business to make money. So, transactional (or tangible) motivators must be a part of your engagement mix! Besides the basic payout, your affiliate program must also embed performance-based incentives.
Enter ShareASale's "Bonus Campaigns."
As the network itself puts it, "you can define a variety of rules" which will "give out a bonus based on performance." Here are some of the performance metrics which may condition bonus triggering:
You may find this feature under Tools > Bonus Campaigns.
If you don't have much margin for anything else, don't underestimate the power of a generous first-sale bonus (and you may always exclude self-referred sales from the qualification requirements).
Recruitment Tool
Thirdly, don't overlook a fairly new tool which was made available to all affiliate programs on the network in late 2016 — an internal tool which gives ShareASale merchants access to affiliates based on categories in which they actively operate.
You may find it under Tools > Recruitment Tool or by going directly to recruiting.shareasale.com (you'll be prompted to lot into your merchant account, unless you've already done so).
We discussed this tool at length earlier this year in this how-to post.
ShareASale-exclusive merchants are entitled to sending out 30 monthly affiliate invitations, while those with (additional) affiliate programs elsewhere can send out 20 invites a month. The beautiful part is that, at this time, there is no added cost involved in using the tool.
So, there you have it: three powerful tools to help you onboard and motivate your ShareASale affiliates.
Should you need a hand with a ShareASale-based affiliate program, we are always at your disposal. AM Navigator has been building up affiliate programs on this network since 2004.

Vigorously whisk together yolk, 1 tablespoon sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt until well blended. Heat milk and 3 tablespoons cream in a small heavy saucepan until hot but not boiling. Add about 1/3 of hot milk to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Add remaining milk, whisking, then transfer to saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add chocolate, rum, to taste, and espresso powder, if using. Let stand until chocolate is melted, about 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth. Transfer to a glass and chill, covered, at least 30 minutes to cool quickly to room temperature.
Just before serving, vigorously whisk remaining 3 tablespoons cream with remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl until it holds soft peaks. Top pudding with whipped cream.
Cooks' note: Pudding can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Jack Burch, the former head of the Community Action Council for Lexington-Fayette, Bourbon, Harrison and Nicholas counties for 34 years, died Wednesday of lung cancer. He was 68.
"This is a very sad day," said Stu Silberman, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, and former superintendent of Fayette County Public Schools. "Jack was a champion for all kids. He was a champion for equity and he would stand up for the least of us even if it wasn't in his own self interest. It is a really sad day for Lexington."
Burch retired from CAC in June, anticipating time for travel to places he had only read about; time for gardening around his home, and time to master his glass-blowing technique.
It was to be his chance to concentrate on himself after a life of putting the needs of others first.
"That is what is so personally sad about it," said P.G. Peeples, president and CEO of the Urban League of Lexington-Fayette County. "When it got to the point of retiring and having the opportunity to do things he wanted to do, he had less than a year.
"What he did was part of his job and also part of his heart as a person," Peeples said. "Jack, as a white person, did not hesitate to stand up and speak truth to power for not only poor people but also black people, where others would have run and hid."
Burch was born in Memphis, Tenn., into a family that wanted race relations to improve. He met Martin Luther King, Jr. at his family's dinner table and Burch's uncle, Lucius Burch, argued for King's right to march for striking sanitation workers.
"I don't understand people who are afraid of difference," Burch told me last year before he retired. "I am fascinated by the difference."
He served with the Peace Corps in Africa for eight years before working in Hazard as the president of Appalachian Leadership and Community Outreach for four years.
In 1979, he was named CAC executive director and given the task of righting a ship that was about to capsize because of financial and administrative problems.
It wasn't an easy transition, but, "He did a magnificent job from the time he took over," Peeples said.
Under Burch's leadership, CAC built state-of-the art Head Start programs, worked with utility companies to help families struggling to pay to heat their homes, and secured not only the basic needs of families, but also the education of children in order to break the cycle of poverty.
"Anyone can run programs," Burch told me last year. "Anybody can pay utility bills. Anybody can operate Head Start centers. But if you are not willing to speak to the community about the needs of the least advantaged people, you are not a community action program and you are not an executive director of one."
Malcolm Ratchford, executive director of CAC, said Burch took an agency that had all but failed and turned it into a $26 million organization.
"He made it easy for me to take over the job," he said.
"He never gave up fighting for everybody," Ratchford said. "He never gave up on me. He always believed I could do this job. He is responsible for me being where I am today.
Jack is the community action council."
Peeples agreed.
"He was a lifelong soldier for poor folks and it was genuine," he said. "It wasn't just part of the job. It was from his heart."
Burch is survived by his son, Jack E. (Jeb) Burch III; his daughter-in-law, Laura C. Jack; grandson Charlie Hall; sister, Jennie Robertson of Texas; brother, Dana Burch of Thailand; ex-wife Margaret Burch of Florida; and dear friend, Lanny Adkins.
No public memorial service is planned.
In lieu of flowers, the family has set up the Jack Burch Memorial Fund at Central Bank. Contributions will be added to a sum bequeath by Burch which will then be merged into the Patricia Burch McCann Social and Economic Activity Plan at the Blue Grass Community Foundation. McCann was Burch's mother.
Giving, serving and advocating was in his blood. That comes as no surprise to those who knew him.
"His commitment to helping others was truly inspirational," Jeb Burch said. "Dad was a dreamer who genuinely thought he could make the world a better place. I hope his legacy as an advocate for those in need will guide others to continue his work."
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray remembers Burch as a "fierce warrior in the war on poverty.
"He wouldn't take no for an answer," Gray said. "Always fighting for what's right, Jack made a difference by improving the lives of literally thousands of people; and he literally saved lives by making sure people had food or heat or decent housing. He will be missed."
We often say a person will be missed, but those words are not always truthful.
For Jack Burch, they are.

Eurolite DJ Gear
For something a little more purpose-built, you'll want to take a look at Eurolite's coffin cases. They've been thoughtful enough to put wheels on these so you can roll them right in at setup time. Consider the case with built-in cooling fans to set on top of a folding DJ stand, or go for a free-standing option like the CDJ400 for versatility. The CDJ400 has room for two CD players and a mixer, and it's topped by a laptop shelf to keep all your MP3s and software sound tools within reach.
You'll also find a laptop shelf on one of Eurolite's mixer cases, but if you don't need it, there are 10" and 12" mixer-only cases to choose from as well. These cases each have a removable lid or front, giving you access to the mixer so you don't even have to take it out of the case to hook it up. That translates to faster setup and tear-down, so you can spend most of your time where it matters: on the show.
Moving equipment frequently is a fact of life for DJs. Thankfully, with Eurolite DJ Gear to pack up all your hardware, it's easier than ever to transport everything from one show to the next. These kinds of cases have to be durable and practical above all else, and that's exactly what you can expect from Eurolite.

The U.S. Department of Education's Pell Grant is one of several grants that help cover student housing costs in addition to tuition, states CollegeScholarships.org. Students apply for these grants through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.Continue Reading
Other grants that offer housing assistance to college students include Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants, National SMART grants for science and math majors, Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education grants, state grants and direct assistance offered by colleges and universities, states CollegeScholarships.org.
Universities calculate costs, including housing and tuition, and present these to their students in a student-aid offer letter, CollegeScholarships.org states. These letters outline the grants and loans for which a student is eligible.
Administrators of the Pell Grant determine eligibility by calculating the student's expected family contribution and comparing that to the student's expected expenses, including tuition, housing and living expenses, notes CollegeScholarships.org. The student's academic status, including the grade point average, also may be a consideration.Learn more about Credit & Lending

Seton Hall Dumps Villanova in Sterling One-Point Stunner
Pirates Move On to Big East Semifinals Against Providence
Three Seton Hall basketball players and their coach, Kevin Willard, found themselves seated behind a table with microphones in a conference room Thursday at Madison Square Garden. They had been asked to describe a stunner—one that actually went their way.
Sterling Gibbs, the Seton Hall sophomore guard, had started to describe the play that ended with him sinking a jump shot at the buzzer to eliminate Villanova, the top seed and third-ranked college team in the nation, from the Big East Tournament, 64-63, on Thursday afternoon....

A 44-year-old Will County babysitter was charged with three counts of residential burglary yesterday after she was caught on surveillance tape stealing liquor and money from a couple she worked for in unincorporated Frankfort Township, police said.
The woman, Ginger A. Nakvosas, 44, of the 19900 block of Jessica Lane in unincorporated Frankfort Township, was a regular babysitter for the couple when in January they noticed some items had disappeared, Will County Sheriff's Lt. William Carlisle said.
After installing a video surveillance camera, they were shocked to see that Nakvosas had allegedly entered their home in the 19000 block of Mallory Drive while no one was home and removed the items on at least three occasions, Carlisle said.

An Apex man driving a Ford F-350 may have been going as fast as 70 mph when he left the road in a suburban neighborhood early Wednesday and ended up in a home, according to the Apex Police Department.
Police estimate the truck caused about $300,000 of damage as it clipped one house, damaged gas, power and water lines, and smashed through an exterior wall of 1052 White Dogwood Road, where officers arrested the driver.
William Tyler Mayhew, 22, of 1100 Purple Glory Drive in Apex was charged with driving while impaired, reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident.
"There was a huge crash," an unidentified caller told a 911 dispatcher. "My husband ran outside – the whole entire street has no power, and I hear something leaking."
Other callers said they smelled gas and that the neighborhood was "pitch dark."
No injuries were reported in the crash, which police said was reported at 2:45 a.m. Three people who knew Mayhew were passengers in the four-door truck, according to Capt. Ann Stephens. The crash happened near the intersection of White Dogwood Road and Pendula Path in the Dogwood Ridge subdivision, less than a half-mile from Mayhew's home.
Stephens said the charge of leaving the scene of an accident stems from his pickup hitting one house and continuing on into the second.
Mayhew was being held at the Wake County Detention Center in lieu of $1,500 bail as of Wednesday night and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday, according to arrest records.
Residents of both affected homes "are displaced," Stephens said Wednesday. Apex Baptist Church was working to find them shelter, she said.

Wrapping text in Kivy's Label
Another Kivy question that I often see (particularly recently for some
reason) is about using the Label widget – how to have text wrap
automatically, or the opposite, how to have the label automatically
grow to accommodate its text. I've covered this before in the 9th
Kivy crash course video, but here's a quick
write up of the basics.
The first thing to realise is how the Label works by default, it takes
the text and draws it to a texture – in practical terms that's an
image of the characters. Everything you might want to do with the
Label revolves around what this texture is really doing. By default,
it does not wrap the text (unless you put in linebreak characters
manually), it just makes one long image on a single row. This image
is is placed right in the middle of the label, centered in both
directions, which is fine for short text snippets but will
overhang the Label on both sides if the text is too long.
This also leads to some other annoying behaviour – as well as the
text not wrapping, you might have observed that the halign and valign
properties seem to do nothing by default. This is because they orient
things not inside the widget, but inside the texture…which
is the exact size it needs to contain the text so alignments change nothing.
To solve all these problems, you can manually set the size of the
texture with
text_size, a tuple of width and height, e.g.
Label: text_size: self.size
This reverses the default behaviour – instead of the texture growing
to fit the text, the text will be wrapped to fit the texture! If there
is space to spare, it is aligned within the texture according to the
halign and
valign properties.
The Label also has another useful property, the
which holds the actual size of the texture. You can use that do bind
behaviour to the size of the text. For instance, a common requirement
is to create a Label that grows as long as it needs to contain its
text, but which wraps it to a certain width. We can combine both of
the above ideas to accomplish this:
Label: size_hint_y: None text_size: self.width, None height: self.texture_size[1]
If you (for instance) place this label in a ScrollView, it will be
Scrollable over exactly the right distance to fit in all the text.

Things That Would Be Different About Straw Dogs If Disney Produced It
Disney is well known for taking scripts and completely altering them to make them family friendly. "Pretty Woman" released by Disney's Paramount studios is a classic example of a rather dark story about a Prostitute who dies that Disney turned into a light hearted tale about a call girl who finds prince charming and lives happily ever after. And did you know that originally Beauty and the Beast was about a girl who gets attacked by wolves and gets rabies and then eats her own hand to get out of a bear trap? So what would Disney have done differently with the dark, gritty hard-R rated remake of the classic Sam Peckinpah film "Straw Dogs?"
Instead Of Scary Hillbillies, The Couple Would Be Trapped In Their House By Singing Housewares
Though the couple is still technically trapped in their house and unable to escape, they can't help but be delighted by their captor's joyful songs about being put away in cupboards.
James Marsden Would Have An Adorable Animal Sidekick
The clever, wisecracking little fellah would see James Marsden standing over the human being he was forced to murder, unable to believe what had just done, and would say something clever like, "Now that's what I call a killer personality!" And everyone would laugh knowingly and smile. Except for the dead guy.
The Infamous Assault Scene Would Be Removed In Favor Of A Musical Number About Having Friends
There's nothing better than friends!
The Wife Would Have Really Long Beautiful Hair That Everyone Kept Tripping Over
Those darn hillbillies want to steal that guy's wife and do bad things to her, but they can't! Why? Her hair is really long!
It's Called "Straw Dogs" So Let's Have Some Dogs And Some Straw!
Disney would, after all those changes, completely throw out the script and change the movie from a gritty urban meditation on violence and the impossibility of removing yourself from the struggles of our time, and be rewritten to be about a boy dog who falls in love with a girl scarecrow who used to be girl dog until an evil witch cast a spell on her.
The Poster
Now that's what I call a four quadrant poster that parents and children can get into!
How could you Disney-fy some other adult movies? Let us know in the comments!
