DAZ 4.5 keeps crashing...help!
Need help guys..please...........
I'm running DAZ 4.5 64bit...When I first installed it my registration wasn't working...Thanks to your help I "bought" the free version..got the 4.5 Registration #..It no longer asks.. The Smart Content wasn't working right either... Somehow I redid it from DAZ..refreshed it or something...forgot how but it works fine now.
NOW the problem is...DAZ 4.5 KEEPS ON CRASHING....When it was unregistered and content didn't work right, it never crashed...I can't work 10 minutes without the 'fatal error' message.
Antbody else have this problem? I sent email to DAZ with the error reports. To early to get reply yet. Tryed the official bug reporting site..still waiting for the reply email before I can become a member.
Think I read once about 'hardware accelerator' or something....It was working great...what happened?
Also, before this happened I noticed that the thumbnails stopped showing up on new renders. They show in the database. They show up now.
Love this program. Any help greatly appreciated.
Well it all depends on what you are trying to do with it, as how much content you have loaded, how many huge resolution textures used and how much Ram you have. What OS are you running and it everything lke Drivers up to date?
I run a 32bit 3GB RAm Dual core Vista system and with DS4.5it cannot do as much as DS3A can do. DS220.127.116.11 generally crashes at render. :)

What are you doing when it crashes? Just adding the serial number wouldn't cause crashes, but this past Tuesday was Microsoft Patch Day, so it's possible a recent update is causing problems. What does Help > Troubleshooting > About Your Video Card say?
Everything is supported...8 lights-8 texture units 8192. Have Lenovo Quad core system. One heck of a machine. Even told the salesman how impressed I was at the speed in DAZ3D. Best machine I ever owned out of the box.
I've been on iit for over 1/2 hour now..no crash! We'll see. Crashed a couple times this morning before I posted...maybe something got updated?
I'll keep you guys informed. Thanks alot. Hook.
I'm back guys. Worked great all day yesterday...today.,.SAME THING...CRASH! Allready crashed numerous times.
Get assorted error messages like this:
DAZStudio.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\DzCore.dll" at 0033:00000000E70242C7, DzPropertyGroupHierarchyItem::getLabel()+135 byte(s)
What causes this ACCESS_VIOLATION??? I'm logged on as the Administrator. Still waiting on my 'ticket' from DAZ support. I added more errors to the ticket. Haven't installed anything new from when I first installed it. Can't do anything..even crashing on Render's now. Crashes on saves. Crashes whenever it feels like it. Have auto-update. All up to date. Auto driver updates turned on. ALL other programs on computer working perfect...just DAZ4.5!
hookmanjoe said:Have auto-update. All up to date. Auto driver updates turned on. ALL other programs on computer working perfect...just DAZ4.5!
Still need specifics...what version of Windows? How much RAM?
And if you are getting your driver updates through Windows updates...then, there's one of your problems. What video card?
This is what I got from the 'basic info'.
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel Core i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz
6.00 GB installed memory (RAM) 5.85 GB usable
64 bit operating system
As I said..It was running fantastic a few days ago...ran great yesterday after a few morning crashes...
What causes these ACCESS_VIOLATIONS I keep getting? Could it be the content manager which now seems to be working as it should.
I'm not a tech guy..still waiting to hear from DAZ tech...I can't remember changing anything..maybe the auto updates are affecting it somehow. Very frustrating. Thanks guys..any suggestions appreciated.

Did it as I clicked on 'new' file.
DAZStudio.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION in module "C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\QtCore4.dll" at 0033:00000000596D36E7, QString::~QString()+7 byte(s)
12-17-2012 4:10pm---just crashed doing nothing.

Still need info on video card...
Two common causes of these kinds of errors, in general...bad drivers/bad RAM
Hope this is what you want. All I can find for graphics in Device Manager. . Thought it was Nvidea.
Intel HD Graphics
Driver Date 9/26/12
Driver Version 22.214.171.12467
Digital Signer Microsoft Windows Compatability Publisher
then it shows the boxes
Driver Details
Update Driver
Roll Back Driver
Should I try updating the driver maybe? Don't want to mess with stuff I don't know.
Thanks again.
I'd install a different video card IF I knew that was the problem but like I said before..It all seemed to start when I "bought the program and registered it". Content manager wasn't even working right. I didn't mind that. Ran it for weeks unregistered with absolutely no problems. I know it's probably coincidence.
Put my 'ticket' into DAZ tech on the 15th..still no answer. I go to the "bug" sign in. Signed up twice..Never get confirmation email back.
Hard to believe I seem to be the only one that gets consistent crashes/ fatal errors with all the different video cards / computers running this program...one more time.....it was working great for weeks.. Everything else on computer working fine. Watch movies, video, etc..only this one. STILL WAITING on DAZ tech to get back to me.
Thanks guys
Is there a way to TURN OFF 'Content Management Service' ? I'm wondering if it's conflicting with something.
Don't know if I mentioned this, but before all the crashes started DAZ stopped producing the thumbnails for new renders. They were in the 'scenes' directory but were not showing up in the content as unassigned.
If I don't hear from DAZ I may try a 2-3 week computer restore and see if that does anything.
Thanks, joe
You can turn off CMS by going to Start > All Programs > DAZ3D > Content Management System > Stop Content Management System
But it really sounds like your computer is at fault not the software if had it working before.

My daz is crashing too since I updated to 4.5, It will say Daz ran into a fatal error, My computer has 14 gigs of ram and a 6 core 3.5 ghz processor on windows 7
Yea..turned it off...started render...crash! I don't know.If I have to uninstall I lose hundreds of installed products which I will have to reinstall not to mention my scenes library..
Wonder if DAZ tech guys reading this thread. No answer on my bug report yet.
I may go back a couple weeks and do a restore. See if that does anything. Maybe an MS update did something to it.
Believe I read awhile back about the 'hardware accelerator' causing crashes. Don't know where to find it to check it. Anyone know?
Hi Joseph,
I looked at the log file in the report. You can see it also in Studio by going to HELP --> Trouble-Shooting --> View Log File.
I can see in it that your system has an Intel Chipset Video card. Unfortunately, this type of onboard video card, not to be confused with an Intel motherboard or processor, does not have adequate OpenGL. OpenGL is very important for DAZ Studio which uses OpenGL to show you a realtime preview of your scene. We have found in the past that an Intel Chipset Video card does not follow OpenGL commands correctly. This causes Studio to become unstable and crash. You can try updating the software driver for the video card, but based on past experience, this will probably not resolve the issue. You may need to get a better video card. You can get a very decent card for about $50 or less, depending upon where you buy it. Make sure it supports OpenGL 2.1 or higher. Nvidia usually give the best results, but you can have good results with a newer ATI Radeon card.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's any other way we can help.
Yes, Intel HD is STILL problematic...it's more to do with their lousy OpenGL implementation than any flaw in the hardware.
Driver roullette or replace with a discrete card.
You may have better luck with grabbing the drivers from Intel. But try the last couple of versions, up to and including the latest...if none show an improvement, then even a cheap Nvidia card should get you up and running (AMD cards can work, too but tend to have some bumps along the way...much less frequently/severe than Intel...).
Hardware acceleration IS the video card (in this case the onboard)...turning off 'Hardware Acceleration' disables OpenGL and forces a translation for all OpenGL calls to their DirectX (or whatever MS is calling it these days) equivalents.
thanks mjc. My wife's laptop has Intel Grahpics onboard and I can't run Daz Studio on it. Shame 64 bit 4 gb (upgradeable to 8) Win 7 17" Laptop and I am stuck with this piece..... LOL
Thanks guys for the help. Not gonna try updating drivers. I'm going to get me an Nvidia card! I love this program. Feeling much better just knowing what's causing it.
DAZ should have a note at the downloasd site to let people know about this particular problem. This is a very big deal.
Thanks again. Going shopping.
The problem isn't really a DS problem...because 'on paper' the Intel graphics 'supports' OpenGL. The problem is in practice the Intel drivers just suck...
It affects a wide range of things...sometimes even programs that one wouldn't think require much in the way of graphics.
I've seen many apps (especially games), though, warn that there may be problems with Intel graphics and the general advice with such is to keep the drivers up to date.
And I've also seen better luck using Intel graphics in Linux than in Windows. In Linux, it's a lot easier to replace the Intel OpenGL with something a little more 'robust'...namely the MESA package. Then using WINE with the MESA driver allows things that choke on the Windows drivers to actually run (several games spring to mind). There is a MESA version for Windows, but it is not easy to implement/replace the Intel drivers with (especially in anything higher than XP...I'm not even sure if there is a package for more recent Windows versions).
One of the tricks, if you are forced to stick to the Intel drivers, try several different versions of it, until you find one that works, then don't change it (disable auto-updates, etc) unless you have to.Post edited by mjc1016 on
I can't believe it. Installed my old Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT with the latest drivers. Says it handles 3.+ open GL. Used this fine with DAZ in my old computer. Looks like the same error messages. Was on it for 60 seconds...crash!
Got to send another 'ticket' to DAZ....JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! Driving me nuts.
Just upgraded from DS 4.0 to DS 18.104.22.168 64-bit. DS 4.0 was stable. DS 4.5 crashes every time I use a Genesis figure. The crashes happen anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes after starting DS. I can initiate an immediate crash by attempting change any parameter from the shaping edit window. I have a Nvidia GTX 470 video card OpenGL 4.2 with the latest 310.70 drivers. I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS on a Core i7 with 24 GB ram.
The crashes only occur when I load a Genesis figure, any Genesis figure. In the Smart Content > People window the Genesis icon is boardered with an oranges dotted line and a ! in a triangle warning symbol in the lower right corner. Does this mean that there is a problem when DS attempts to load Genesis when DS startsup? Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it? --ThanksPost edited by dzerk_e68a15c30b on

Did you update the Genesis Starter Essentials, too?
Generally that's what needs to occur when you have the warning icon showing.
Yes. I installed the Genesis starter essentials for DS 4.5.and then when I discovered this problem, I downloaded and re-installed the essentials--but this did not fix the problem.
What version...the version for 126.96.36.199 should have 1.6 in the filename, too.
DAZ Studio 4.5 Pro - Genesis Starter Essentials 1.6 - exe - pc
Here's the sequence of my upgrade installation and problem discovery:
1. Installed DS 22.214.171.124
2, Ran DS 22.214.171.124 and noticed that no default Genesis figure was loaded. Loading Victoria 5 Genesis figure resulted in a weird "block" man.
3. Installed DS 4.5 Genesis Starter Essentials 1.6
4. Ran DS 22.214.171.124. Loaded Victoria 5 Genesis figure. Figure loaded normally. Added hair and wardrobe. Went to the Shaping Edit window and tried to change the "Brow Down" parameter. DS crashed immediately.
5. Downloaded DS and Genesis Starter Essentials again. Re-installed DS and Essentials.
6. Ran Ds and problem was not fixed.
Computer specs...
I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS on a Core i7 with 24 GB ram,
Nvidia GTX 470 video card OpenGL 4.2 with the latest 310.70 drivers
Changing shaping parameters is not the only thing that causes a crash. A crashes also occurred while I was changing pose parameters and while adjusting the lights.
Saw this in DS logfile:
Temp folder: C:/Users/Bob/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/Studio4/temp
Total temp disk size: 122103 Mb, Available: 40033 Mb
Thinking that perhaps I needed more temp or cache space, I moved the temp and cache files from my C: drive which is 120 GB SSD to my D: drive which is a 1TB HD.
RESULT: I was able to change a few shaping parameters before crashing, whereas before I was not able to make any changes. So it may be slightly more stable, but it is still crashing--This did not fix the problem.Post edited by dzerk_e68a15c30b on

OK, that's not really pushing the system. You could try pulling the texture resources slider all the way to the performance end and see if that helps.

What's New
Denney Font Family by Harold's Fonts
About: Denney One is a whimsical font based on the hand lettering found on a number of greeting cards produced by the Barker Greeting Card Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, circa 1969-1974. I had guessed these were the work of Paul Coker, but I have learned this style was originated by Alan Denney. The letterforms were autotraced to preserve the bumpy feel of hand lettering, and then refined.

Who are your GETAWAYS guides?
All of our Getaways guides are locals who live, work and play in the regions where they guide. They undergo extensive training before they are allowed to operate and guide their Rides, and are some of the friendliest, most professional guides you'll meet in the industry.
Our Getaways guides take great pride in showing you the awesome riding and culture of their home region. Their local knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion are your ticket to an unforgettable experience.
How long have you been in business?
Sacred Rides has been offering the world's best mountain bike adventures since 1996, and we have won numerous awards in that time, including "#1 Mountain Bike Tour Operator on Earth" by National Geographic Adventure magazine. From our humble beginnings in beautiful Fernie, British Columbia, we have expanded to offer Rides all around the world, with a focus on local communities and giving back to the areas where we ride.
Our Getaways program was launched in 2016, providing passionate mountain bikers around the world with the tools, training and platform to offer incredible 1 and 2-day mountain bike adventures on their local trails.
What is included and not included in each trip?
You can view what's included on each Ride by clicking on the 'What's Included' tab on that Ride's page.
How far in advance should I book my Ride?
For day trips you may be able to book as late as the day before, but in general we recommend booking at least 2 or 3 days in advance for day trips, and checking in with the Getaways operator to ensure that he/she is able to run a departure on your preferred date (if it is only 2 or 3 days away).
For 2-day Rides, we recommend booking at least a week or more in advance, as there may be accommodation and other suppliers involved that the Getaways operator will need to check in with if the departure is coming up soon.
How do I book my spot on a Ride?
You can book your spot on a Ride by clicking 'Book Now' on any Ride page or the schedule page, or by calling the Getaways operator at the phone number(s) listed at the bottom of their site..
How fit do I need to be?
Getaways Rides vary in difficulty, from beginner Rides to full-on expert-level adventures for very experienced Riders. Take a look at both the skill and fitness rating of any Ride(s) you're interested in, the 'Is This Ride Right For Me?' section, and if there is any video, watch that as well.
If you're still unsure if a Ride is right for you, pick up the phone and call the local Getaways operator (the phone number is listed at the bottom of the website)
There will always be slower and faster riders on every trip; in general we try to cultivate a strong group dynamic so that people understand it's not about logging as many miles as possible on the odometer but about enjoying the spectacular riding and scenery inthe company of other riders, and that may require waiting every now and then.
If there is a substantial enough split in the group that it will affect Riders' enjoyment of the trip, your Getaways guide(s) may split up the groups if possible.
Please read our Skill and Fitness Guide for more information.
Who goes on Sacred Rides' trips?
Our Riders are passionate mountain bikers and adventurers from around the world, united by a love for cycling and mountain biking, and a passion for exploring the world. They are typically between the ages of 30 and 55, but we also get people younger and older than that range. You'll meet some of the most interesting and friendly people in the world on our Getaways!
What is a typical day like?
Because our Getaways occur all over the world, and are run by passionate locals, each day and each Ride is different from the next.
For one-day Rides, you can typically expect to start between 9 am and 10am, and finish around 4 or 5pm - but this of course varies. For all-day Rides you can also typically expect a lunch, either a packed lunch on the trail, a sit-down lunch at a restaurant, or a trailside picnic lunch served on tables.
For 2-day Rides, your day may include a little more variety, with perhaps some off-bike adventures such as hiking or swimming. If you're opting for the lodging option, then your breakfast may start earlier, say 7:30 or 8am.
What is your maximum group size?
On most of our Rides, the maximum is 10 Riders and 2 guides, but this may vary according to the type of Ride (for instance, more advanced Rides may have smaller group sizes for safety, while beginner Rides on dirt roads may have a slightly larger group size).
What if I'm traveling alone?
Not to worry - we get lots and lots of solo Riders on our Getaways. Our solo Riders tell us the best part of our Rides is being able to travel solo and meet lots of great people from around the world. On 2-day Rides with a lodging option, solo Riders are paired in double rooms with another Rider of the same gender, or may opt for a single room upgrade.
What are the rooming arrangements?
On 2-day Rides, if you opt for the lodging option you'll usually have a shared private room with (typically but not always) a private bath. Couples will generally receive queen or king size beds, while other riders will be paired two to a room, with someone of the same gender. Single Riders can opt for a single room upgrade to get a room to themselves.
What kind of accommodation do you use?
Our accommodations vary greatly, but in general you can expect comfortable midrange lodges and hotels. Our Getaways operators try to select locally-owned accommodation that offers unique local character, often owned and staffed by local 'characters'.
What's the food like? Can you accommodate special dietary requests?
Our Getaways operators try to select meals that are typical of the region you are riding in, and you can expect hearty, healthy fare that will keep your energy up while keeping your wasitline trim.
On 1-day Rides, lunches are typically included (check the 'What's Included' tab on any Ride page), while on 2-day Rides, breakfasts and dinners may also be included.
Our Getaways operators can usually accommodate almost all dietary requests, which you can enter into the booking form when making your reservation, but it's best to check in with them first before making a booking.
Should I bring my own bike or do you offer rentals?
If possible, bring your own bike; you will ride better and with more comfort on your own bike than you will with a rental.
However, we recognize that most people joining a 1 or 2-day Ride probably won't go to the trouble of bringing a bike with them, so we offer good quality local rentals at all of our Getaways destinations - generally full-suspension although where full-suspension is not available (or needed) our operators will offer hardtails.
Do you take children or young adults on your trips?
Typically yes, although this is up to each Getaways operator and depends on the types of Rides they are offering. Some operators may even offer family-specific Rides, check the main site (http://getaways.sacredrides.com/rides) and select the 'Family-friendly' checkbox to show family-friendly Rides around the world.
Do you offer private departures for small groups?
Yes, our Getaways operators can arrange custom and private trips! Contact the local Getaways operator and let him/her know your group size and wishlist (i.e. do you want to do a private group version of an existing Ride, do you want to customize an existing Ride, or do you want to create something from scratch?). He/she will get back to you with pricing for your group.
Can you help me plan a trip extension?
Yes! Our local Getaways operators know the regions where they guide intimately and can offer suggestions and advice on what to do and where to stay before or after your Ride. Many of our Rides offer carefully thought-out extensions such as a volcano hike, a kayaking side-trip or a visit to a remote monastery that can be simply added on to your booking at the time of your booking, or anytime afterwards.
Should I buy medical insurance and/or trip cancellation insurance?
All Getaways Riders are required to have valid travel medical insurance if they are traveling to a region where their normal medical coverage does not apply. Our system will ask you to fill out a form with your medical insurance policy information and general medical information before each trip. This information will be kept strictly confidential.
Cancellation insurance is also strongly advised. With it, you will avoid losing the funds you have invested in your trip and flight due to an emergency or illness, or illness or death of an immediate family member. Some cancellation policies also provide baggage loss protection and other protection.
n.b. if you have your own travel medical insurance policy (e.g. through your work), please ensure that it covers adventure travel, specifically mountain bike trips - some policies exclude what they deem to be 'extreme' sports, and often mountain biking falls into that category.
If you don't have your own insurance, you can purchase some via our insurance page.
Do you offer discounts or rewards for returning Riders?
Sorry, we don't offer discounts on Getaways Rides - our goal is to deliver the highest-quality experiences and discounting makes it hard to do that.
What do I need to bring?
A detailed packing list is available under the Logistics tab of each of our Rides.
What if I have to cancel?
For 1-day Rides, or less (e.g. half-day or evening Rides), you may cancel up to 5 days before departure date and get a full refund.
For 2-day Rides, you may cancel up to 30 days prior to departure date and get a full refund. For cancellations made 15 to 29 days in advance, you will receive a 50% refund, and for cancellations made 14 days or less in advance of the departure date, your payment will be forfeited. The reason for this is that our Getaways operators need to make hotel and other reservations well in advance and may face significant cancellation penalties (and zero refunds) if they cancel with less than 14 days notice.
What if you need to cancel a trip?
Once a trip is scheduled, it's confirmed as per our Guaranteed Departures policy. We will never cancel a trip due to low numbers. You can go ahead and start looking into flights and making other arrangements right away.
However, trip cancellation insurance is still recommended as in very rare cases, situations beyond our control such as natural disasters, political unest or other similar events come up that may compromise the safety and enjoyability of a trip. In such extreme cases, we must reserve the right to cancel a trip, in which case we will give you a spot on another departure of the same Ride, or a full credit to use towards any of our other Rides.

My son will be 2 in a month. There have been several periods during this year span from 12-24 months where he has been difficult, fussy, and clingy. I would say these are wonder weeks, but the book stops at 13 months. In the back of the book, it does mention that children will still continue to have wonder weeks though out their childhood. It lists that toddlers will hit a wonder week at 64 weeks (~15-16 months) and again at 75 weeks (~18 months). I also think that toddlers hit an other wonder week around 22-24 months. I am going to discuss what was going on with my son during these developmental stages and I hope it will help you to figure out your own child's developmental changes and needs.
Wonder Week 64 (~15-16 Months)
During this wonder week, my son was only saying a few words (5 words at most). His receptive language skills were decent, but we still have difficulties trying to communicate certain things to my son. He got easily frustrated because he did not know how to tell us what he wanted or he did not understand what we were saying or asking of him. His sleep prior to this wonder week was great. He slept from 8pm-7am and a 3 hour nap during the day. During this wonder week, my son started to wake a few times in the night and cry, wake up earlier in the morning around 6-6:30am, and his naps were disrupted by waking mid nap and crying or taking a shorter nap. He seemed to whine a lot more and just want me to play with him non-stop. His independent play was just not as good.
After the the wonder week was over, things improved. His sleep went back to 11 hours at night and 3 hour naps. He was not waking up randomly and crying anymore. His receptive and expressive language improved. He was able to follow several step command such as, pick up the cars, put the cars in the box, and then put the box away. He was saying more words and that made his ability to communicate his needs easier for him. He went back to contently playing with his toys solo and independently. He also had less tantrums.
Wonder Week 75 (~18 Months)
During this wonder week, he was horrible!!! During 17-18 months we was a wreck. His sleep went back to being terrible with multiple wake ups in the middle of the night and shorter naps. He was SOOO clingy and fussy. I could hardly get anything done because he just fussed and followed me all over the house. Again his independent play was terrible and he would cry for a great part of his independent play time. He still was not talking a whole lot at this point. He had about 1o words he could say, but that was about it. He also started to eat terribly and became very picky about what he would and would not eat. I was expecting my twins around this time too, so to be fair, I am sure that he sensed that something was about to change.
After this wonder week, Cooper's language totally took off. He started to repeat everything we said. His vocabulary went from 10 words to who knows how many. It seemed he was saying a new word every day. He understood us even better and for the first time he was able to respond to simple yes and no questions verbally. This made our life so much easier and helped to cut down on the frustration Cooper was experiencing from not being able to communicate effectively to us. His fine motor skills also improve and was able to color easier with markers and crayons. He started to eat better as well. He was so pleasant to be around. He would play independently without complaint as well.
Wonder Week 22-24 Months
During this wonder week, again Cooper had the typical wonder week symptoms. Poor eating, poor sleep (but not as bad in past wonder weeks), poor independent play. But the most difficult symptom was tantrums. His mood would flip flop in an instant. He would go from happy to totally upset and crying. He had a hard time if he did not get his way right away. He also go frustrated when he was playing and something did not work out the way he wanted it to. He spent a lot of time in time out during this time period for tantrums or not listening to me.
After this wonder week, Cooper is back to being pleasant and easy to be around. He does not throw the same amount of tantrums. He is eating better, sleeping better, and playing better independently. The most noticable change his is language. He can now say simple phrases and sentences such as, "babies cry", "brush my teeth", "mama sit", "help please", "CooCoo (Cooper) downstairs". This has changed the way he can communicate to my husband and I, thus, has changed his frustration level. Update: About a month after his 2nd birthday his language increase ten fold! He is talking in sentences, asking question, and is very verbal.
At every stage of these wonder weeks, something happened to my son's language. I really think that his frustration, clingy nature was due to his frustration with language and communication. Once he was able to communicate better, things went back to a more simple and peaceful time for Cooper.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
What is different about pricing used cars and new cars online?
New cars are a commodity... sometimes! One size does NOT fit all.
"(The word commodity) is used to describe a class of goods for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a market.
An example is the credit card product, where all suppliers offer almost identical interest rates, fees, rewards programs, and bait & hook incentive models for new customers. Since the core credit card product is essentially identical, the only remaining market differentiators are branding & customer service." - Wikipedia
You might being saying, as you read this, "Voila! A car is NOT a commodity because a Nissan, Honda and a Chevy are qualitatively different!"
But what happens when you have a certain amount of Chevy buyers shopping for an Equinox in a metropolitan area with 94 Chevy dealers selling the exact same car?
I submit that the Equinox becomes a commodity "for those shopping customers".
At that point, price becomes, in the consumer's mind, the only condition of sale. We know however that branding, marketing approach, and customer service have impact.
New car pricing online at that point becomes a drive to the bottom. It may be acceptable in one's mind to be ultra-competitive and go head-to-head on price. But that competition ends when the competition begins to stretch the line between ethical and legal price marketing and misleading the customer with pricing they don't plan to honor.
When online pricing goes below true net/net, it crosses the line of ethics and legality, unless the dealer is giving a "going out of business sale". (Forget stair-step programs - I'm talking "true" net/net)
So what can you do?
You can take the LOW ROAD until either the Attorney General of your State comes after you... or your bad reviews for deceptive advertising catch up to you.
Or you can take the HIGH ROAD and post MSRP with a form to request a quote. Even if a customer knows the price from a competitor, they might request a quote from you to compare. That gives you the opportunity to engage that customer and win them over.
Or you can be creative. Does anyone remember the old adage that, "Every customer is a payment customer"? Offer them a quick and easy way to "qualify for a payment" that fits their budget. While others are fighting to be the lowest on price, you're giving them a car at a payment that they can afford and the assurance that they can buy it.
Whatever approach you take, keep in mind that the LOW ROAD leads to a dead end, poor reputation, and NO profits.
The HIGH ROAD leads to happy customers that feel you served them well at a great "price" and great personalized service.

Joshua, I agree with you that transparency and up-front pricing is a great way to build trust. The problem with online pricing of New cars is that you may not get the opportunity to engage the customer if your "realistically low price" is $1,000 or more higher than a competitor's price online.
Customers usually don't know that your price is realistic, or that your competitor is stacking his price with limited rebates that they won't receive. Up front, customers usually believe price is the determining factor and can write you off as being the one that is unrealistically high priced. They won't request a quote (they already know your price) and you won't have that opportunity to engage them with your professionalism, great value and customer service.
In an MSRP and quote system, you have the opportunity to explain your pricing in an up front manner and show how your compeititor arrived at his price. That gives you the opportunitity to illustrate the value of your proposition. Do you agree?
BTW, is that from "Stairway to Heaven"? "There's more than two paths you can go on, and in the long run..." ;-)
There's more than two paths you can go on, and in the long run... the middle road serves your purposes even better. What's the middle road? A realistically low price, rather than a ridiculously low price or an MSRP-only price, and, like the credit cards in the Wikipedia definition, an overall focus on customer service and branding. I guess, if your customer service and branding is strong enough, you don't even have to show your prices, but up-front pricing is a great way to demonstrate that the free sharing of information will follow throughout the process of purchasing a car.

WASHINGTON — As the clock ticks down to the sequester deadline on Friday, it's almost certain that the $85 billion in annual cuts will happen despite bipartisan agreement that the indiscriminate nature of them would be economically harmful.
Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey said Monday that he wants the cuts to go forward, but he also thinks the White House should have the authority to determine how the cuts are made.
"I think we must go through with this reduction in increased spending but we need to give the President and agency heads the discretion to proceed with the cuts in a better way. I want to give the President this flexibility. The other side so far has pushed back," Toomey said during an event at the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce.
For Democrats, who want deficit reduction to be a mixed bag of cuts and new revenue, that's a nonstarter.
"I want to be open minded to the approach we take, but I don't think that is the way to go here," U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said Monday. "(Doing) that is validating the underlying premise, and that is flawed... . The best way to reduce spending is to do it the balanced way."
And the White House, in a call with reporters said even if it had greater license over the cuts that wouldn't solve the problem.
"The problem is $85 billion cut in seven-month period, and there is no good way to do that," said Jason Furman, principal deputy director of the White House's National Economic Council.
So for now, with neither side willing to blink, it looks like the sequester - a plan devised to be so painful that Congress would actually get work done to avoid it - is going into effect.

Have you heard? Today is the official start of Fashion Week here in New York, which means that today is the day during which our heads will get even closer to exploding from the sheer volume of shit coming our way from the celebrity-sartorial complex and the pressures involved in sorting through it. Seeing that this is Jezebel's first fashion week — Moe, in fact, is a fashion week virgin — we'll be winging it a bit. We'll also probably be posting less often as three of the Jezebel editors (Dodai, Moe, Jennifer) will be offline and crashing the runways, reporting on all the "celebrity" sightings, expensive shit, bad attitudes and, of course, pretty clothes you (or they) can handle. Speaking of, we'll be paying even closer attention to your comments than usual over the next seven days, so please, let us know what you want to see, what you don't, and what makes you want to vomit. Want to know more about what we — and other blogs — will be covering? Check out this story in today's Women's Wear Daily.

Hello, I'm Marta, I started this project "Eataway" a few years ago here in Krakow. Join me for a five-hour class and learn how to prepare a full Polish feast! Dishes include the famous Polish pierogis, stuffed with wild mushroom, meat, or potatoes and butter and sage sauce. We'll also learn how to make red borscht or wild mushroom consommé with herb gnocchi, stuffed cabbage rolls ( gołąbki) herring in honey and mustard sauce, and for dessert my own specialty Krakow style cheesecake with seasonal forest fruits and salty caramel sauce. Apart from learning how to make delicious Polish food, you will also have a great time just finding out a bit more about Poland and what it is to live like here in Krakow. I look forward to welcoming you to my home.... and here are some very kind words from Marcia who joined me for one of my recent cooking classes :
"5* Class and 5* Experience
If you are traveling to Poland, you MUST treat yourself to this class in Polish cuisine. Multiple dishes are covered from pierogis to bigos, zurek, red borscht, salata and Polish cheesecake. Class time was 5+ hours and very reasonably priced.
Our class was in Marta's kitchen in Krakow and it was one of the most enjoyable days I have ever had traveling. Marta puts her heart and soul into serving her guests. Her knowledge of Polish cuisine is extensive. She naturally ferments her cabbage, beets and other vegetables and is eager to instruct you in how to do this in your own home.
There is lots of hands-on time in this class. We had the opportunity to roll out the dough, stuff and seal the pierogis. In addition to covering the Polish recipes, we sipped on various homemade vodkas made from various fruits. We learned as much about Polish culture, important events to consider attending in Krakow, as we did Polish cuisine.
Alcuni alcolici sono inclusi Puoi portare alcol
Hi, I'm a co-founder of Eataway which connects people with home cooks and hosts all around the world. For the last 5 years, I have been teaching people how to cook delicious food at my home, and I also run food workshops such as the Pierogi Power Workshop, Fermentation Workshop and more. Recently I was the host of a big food event for The Krakow Pierogi Festival and Harvest Festival. (I also appear regularly on TV and radio as a guest, discussing subjects related to home cooking, the sharing economy and food tech.) I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge of my beautiful hometown, and more about the art of Polish cuisine, both through the website and with all the wonderful travellers I meet in person.
My grandmother and my mother were great cooks. That means delicious, home-made food freshly-prepared.
Restaurants are great, but sometimes it seems it would be better to enjoy a home-cooked meal with someone who can also tell me a bit more about their experiences, their lives and their cities. So, I've decided to do exactly that. I cook for up to 14 people at my home in Krakow and you're invited. Please join me!

The flipside of a sense of wonder is often a sense of total disgust and revulsion, when you see just how gross and awful things can be. But which science fiction, fantasy or horror story has grossed you out the most?
Please include a (work-safe) picture or clip of this revolting spectacle. And let us know the title, and why it was so nasty. Thanks!

Product placement is big business in America, as this helpful primer from MediaPost indicates:
Product placement –- a.k.a. brand integration – has grown into a roughly $25 billion industry in the U.S., supporting its own battery of go-getters, an extensive Wikipedia entry, a Morgan Spurlock movie about the practice and its own awards competition and Top 10 lists.
But while products all across the consumer spectrum are fighting (and paying) to get into entertainment programming, some actually want out . . .

Commemorations for Hator 14
On this day, the great St. Martinus (Martin), Bishop of Tours (Thrace, in France), departed. He was born to Christian parents in a city called Sorpeia. He grew up to be gentle and a worshipper who kept the Orthodox faith. He did not spare any effort in resisting the followers of Arius, who were enraged by him. Consequently, they waited for him on a road several times and beat him.
When they continued chasing him, he left the city. He went to live in a cave near the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. There, he sustained himself by eating plants.
When his reputation spread throughout the country, he was chosen to be Bishop of Tours (Thrace). He lived an apostolic life, and grew in charity and mercy towards many people. The Lord performed many miracles through him.
Once when he was passing by, he saw a person stopping a funeral and preventing the deceased person's family from burying him, claiming that the deceased owed him 400 dinars. This holy father entreated him to release the dead body, but the man refused. St. Martinus prayed and entreated God to make the truth known. The dead man was raised immediately and he rebuked the man who falsely accused him, exposing his lies before those present. Subsequently, the unjust man died and the man who was raised up from death through the prayers of St. Martinus, went back to his home and lived many years.
This holy father completed his distinguished life and departed in peace.
His prayers be with us, and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.

The Onyx, a phone concept by Synapics, uses touch-sensitive technology to control the device via its horizontally oriented screen. Though touchs-sensitive control is nothing new in phones—they've been in Windows Mobile 5 phones for a while now—this one recognizes "not only points and taps but also shapes and complex movements, together with multi-point input." Some cool applications of that would be:
a phone call to Onyx can be answered by simply holding it to your cheek, messages sent by swiping them off the screen with the whole finger.
Though this is just a concept, Synaptics says the first phone using this technology will be out sometime this year. Slashgear is taking a wild stab and thinking it may be used in the iPhone, but we'll believe it when we see it.

Call us today before 2 p.m. & we'll be to your home promptly for McAllen ant control & McAllen ant extermination service. Call now for a free quote.
Think you have an ant infestation problem in McAllen? If you are seeing ants where you don't want them, then you do have an ant infestation problem. Ants live in colonies and rarely travel alone, so where there are a few, there are likely more nearby. There are several kinds of ants common in McAllen, from Pavement and Sugar Ants to Pharaoh and Fire Ants. All ants share the same basic body structure as pictured to the left. Ants will enter your home looking for food, and they can be quite a nuisance. Some species are able to cause or intensify structure damage rapidly.
Ants are not picky eaters. They will consume nectar from plants, both living and dead insects as well as items commonly found in our homes. This includes meats, dairy products, vegetables and sweets. They often infest homes while foraging for food but also when looking for a source of moisture. Ant infestations in McAllen are not uncommon.
Once ants get inside your home, it is unlikely they will go away on their own. It is important to know and identify the species of ants to determine the correct method of ant control. Enlisting the help of a professional ant exterminator is the best way to ensure your home receives the proper treatment. When you hire Fox Pest Control, your service technician will work with your specific scenario to create the best approach for getting rid of ants and keeping them out of your house in the future. This can include interior and exterior treatments, sealing up entry points around the home and placing insect growth regulators around the property. Call us right now, and we can schedule a free ant inspection to have one of our licensed professional ant exterminators come out to take care of your McAllen ant control!
When your doorbell rings, you can be confident that the person Fox Pest Control has sent to your home to take care of your Ant control and extermination is a true professional. We carefully screen, background check, and conduct lengthy interviews with prospective employees. Fox Pest Control technicians also undergo extensive training, both in the classroom and on the job with a mentor, before they are allowed to work on their own. You can rest easy knowing that your Ant problem is in good hands with Fox Pest Control.
With Fox Pest Control you'll know who is coming.
We had a wonderful experience with our technician. Weston was easy to talk to and explained everything well. Josh, who sold us the service, was very kind also. Not pushy at all. And very informative. Thank you. We look forward to working with you in the future.
My experience with Fox Pest Control has been the best experience I had with a pest control company. Technician, Harry, did a good job of going over the process thoroughly, ensure that I understood everything going on. I would recommend them to anyone looking for good, quality, fast, friendly, and affordable pest control services.
Fox Pest Control is beyond amazing, they are always there when you need them and their employees are super helpful! If we need them they come right away.

If for whatever reason any new pest problems do arise, call us and we will take care of the problem immediately and at no additional charge.

When educating your little one, it's not all about teaching facts and figures. Learning about emotions is a vital element, too
You're a model parent – from solving quadratic equations to researching Henry VIII's wives, you're always on hand to help your children with their homework. It's giving them the edge over their classmates, right? Not necessarily. The latest research shows that if you really want your children to excel at school, you'll be better off helping their emotional intelligence – or EI.
Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire found that children with greater emotional intelligence did better in SATs and GCSEs, and that children with lower IQs often did better than those with higher ones as long as their EI was higher. 'Faced with failure, a student low on IQ but who is emotionally intelligent will be able to manage their feelings about failure, reconcile poor performance and work to improve,' says research leader Dr Pamela Qualter. They also tend to be better at setting goals and dealing with the stress of exams, she adds.
It's not just academic performance that benefits either. According to John Gottman, author of Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child (available from www.amazon.co.uk), a child with high EI is more able to cope with everyday highs and lows, relates better to others and forms stronger friendships than one with lower EI.
Luckily, we're not stuck with our emotional intelligence and there's plenty we can do to improve it. 'Emotional intelligence is laid down in childhood but you can still learn a lot of inter-personal skills in adulthood,' says psychologist Dr Pat Spungin of www.raisingkids.co.uk. And working with your child's emotions will help you look at your own emotional intelligence, says Dr Qualter. 'It's also a great excuse to have a lot of fun in the process.'
Talk about feelings
'Children copy their parents, so, if you don't talk about emotions, your children will be emotionally illiterate,' says parenting coach Dorothy Boswell. Say things like 'I feel sad that Granny is in hospital' or 'I feel nervous about this new job'. And don't forget the positive emotions too, such as 'I feel happy when we watch DVDs together'.
'You should also ask your children about their emotions,' says Boswell. '"How did you feel when your friends didn't play with you?", for instance.' It can help to talk about your own childhood experiences and how you dealt with them.
And never belittle their feelings. If your child admits they're scared to do something, don't say, 'I don't know why you're scared – there's nothing to be scared of'. Say it can be scary to try new things. You may need to give very young children the words to describe their feelings – disappointed, frightened or excited, for instance.
Acknowledge their emotions
'In everyday life, notice your child's emotions,' says Dr Spungin. 'Say, "I can see from your face that something has upset you".' If a young child is angry or upset, show him that you're taking his feelings seriously before trying to pacify or distract him. 'With older children, let them know that it's fine to feel angry – what's important is what you do with it,' says Boswell. 'By asking the right questions, you encourage them to find their own solutions.'
Read and play together
Working out what other people think is a large part of EI. When you're reading or watching TV, Dr Qualter suggests talking about the emotions of the characters in the stories and how these might affect the plot. Books also increase the number of feeling words your child knows – characters are not just excited, for instance, but can be elated, overjoyed or thrilled.
Young children can also learn the effects their feelings can have on their behaviour through pretend play. 'It's fun and teaches children how emotions affect the way other people feel and behave,' says Dr Qualter.
Deal with conflict
'Ideally, don't get angry and lose your temper with your children,' says Dr Qualter. 'But it happens – and when it does, apologise and calm down to talk through the problem.' If your children see you and your partner arguing, they should also see that, in the end, you work things out.
'People with high EI learn to remove themselves from a conflict situation for a while, perhaps about 20 minutes, to let their emotions adjust,' says Dr Qualter. 'Then they come to the discussion again calmer and more composed.' Seeing their parents do this could be a good lesson for children.
Be open with children
'We often try to protect children from problems,' says Dr Qualter, 'but they are very perceptive so they will build up their own ideas of what is happening and why.' She says it's important for parents to talk to children about family decisions and problems – without frightening them. 'It's another chance to teach them about emotions and appropriate responses,' she says.
Teach them it's OK to fail
'We all want our children to be successful at school,' says Boswell. 'In reality, children who have an easy ride and are unused to failing often don't know how to bounce back the first time they encounter failure.' She suggests allowing your child to fail from a young age. 'Let your two-year-old hold a drink and spill it – and show them it doesn't really matter,' she says. This helps them realise it's alright to fail sometimes.
'And if your child has done badly in maths homework, for instance, encourage them to think back about how they could have done it differently or whether they could have asked the teacher for help earlier on,' says Boswell. 'In other words, help them work out their own solutions by asking them questions and listening.'
Mind your language
The language you use makes a big difference to the way your children perceive your emotions. The general rules of EI thinking are that you should label your feelings rather than label your children, take responsibility for your feelings rather than blaming your children, and suggest rather than tell your children what to do. So try our low to high EI swaps:
After a clash with your child
LOW EI: 'You're making me angry.'
HIGH EI: 'I feel upset and angry when you don't listen to me.'
Before leaving the house
LOW EI: 'Get your hat and gloves.
'HIGH EI: 'What do you need to be ready for school?'
When you're tired
LOW EI: 'Leave Mummy alone.
'HIGH EI: 'I'm tired. What do you think will make me feel better?'
To your teenager
LOW EI: 'You can't go there or come back at that time.
'HIGH EI: 'I don't want you to go there because I worry about you. Sorry, but that's how I feel.'
When talking about another child's behaviour
LOW EI: 'What an idiot!'
HIGH EI: 'He seems like an angry boy.'

A controversial decision by the city council in St. Louis Park, Minnesota has caught the attention of President Donald Trump. Council members recently voted unanimously to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before council meetings. The vote was made with no input from local residents, and many of them voiced their displeasure during a meeting on Monday (July 8) night. A reporter from KSTP was at the meeting, where numerous people spoke out against the decision.
"I'm proud to be an American now, and I just don't find anything in the Pledge of Allegiance offensive," Kathleen Bryan told the council.
A couple of council members appeared to walk back their votes and admitted that nixing the Pledge of Allegiance may have been a mistake.
"As a proud American, I'm appalled that our little suburban community's meeting protocols have sparked this polarizing conversation," said City Council Member Anne Mavity.
On Thursday, President Trump joined in on the debate, warning on Twitter that the pledge is "under siege." He wrote that "people are sick and tired of this stupidity" and claimed that he will win the state of Minnesota in the 2020 presidential election.
The Pledge of Allegiance to our great Country, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, is under siege. That is why I am going to win the Great State of Minnesota in the 2020 Election. People are sick and tired of this stupidity and disloyalty to our wonderful USA!
After hearing from residents on Monday, the council decided to hold another session on the issue, but has not set a date for that meeting.
"The mayor and council are aware of the President's tweet and are focused on the work of the city," Jacque Smith, Communications and Marketing Manager for City Council, told ABC News. "At its July 8, 2019, meeting the city council agreed that at a future study session they would consider undertaking a process of having a focused conversation with St. Louis Park residents about the role of civic expressions in our work, including the Pledge of Allegiance, and how to best express our values and principals in order to create a more engaging civic space for all of our neighbors."

President Obama, Bill Clinton enjoy a round of golf
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- Fore -- 42 and 44 are playing 18.
Former President Bill Clinton -- the 42nd president -- is joining President Barack Obama -- he's No. 44 -- for a round of golf at Joint Air Base in Maryland.
Also in the group, according to the White House, are U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and longtime Clinton backer and strategist Terry McAuliffe, who's running for governor in Virginia in 2013.
Clinton was a big help to Obama in the president's re-election campaign -- an exceptional surrogate who made dozens of appearances for the incumbent and vouched for his economic record.
Clinton also made a well-regarded speech at the Democratic convention and won praise for sometimes explaining Obama's record better than Obama was doing himself.

Classic Cookbooks: Elizabeth David's Ratatouille Recipe
Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats
One of my guilty secrets as a food person and a word person is that I have never fallen for Elizabeth David. When Summer Cooking and A Book of Mediterranean Food were reissued by NYRB Classics in 2002, I bought them eagerly, expecting to be transported and inspired. Instead I was a little bored by the prose and much confused by the recipes, which assume a basic understanding of cookery I had not yet attained. I felt like a philistine.
But everyone else is enraptured by David, who as a young woman left her posh home to become an actress, took up with a married man with whom she traveled all over the Mediterranean, and worked abroad for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Information during World War II. After the war she introduced England to the frank foods of southern climates and became (inevitable phrase) "the foremost food writer of her day."
I can't help but find her story fascinating, and so recently I dove back into Summer Cooking, originally published in 1955 (when such Mediterranean necessities as olive oil, zucchini, and pasta were hard to come by in England; David suggested looking for olive oil at the pharmacy). Perhaps, I thought, if I start cooking from it, I'll be giving it the proper sort of attention and I'll find what I've been missing. Ratatouille seemed like a good first step.
Although many say the components of ratatouille must be cooked separately so they retain their integrity and individual tastes, this advice has always struck me as too fussy by half. I was pleased to see that David's ratatouille, which is meant to be served cold, is a one-pot affair. It's yummy, too. Maybe I'm coming around.
Ratatouille en Salade
- very generously serves 4 as a side dish or 8 as part of an hors d'oeuvre -
Adapted from Summer Cooking.
- 2 onions
- Olive oil
- 2 eggplants (I used about 1 1/2 pounds eggplant)
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- A dozen coriander seeds
- Parsley or basil
Chop the onions fairly small and put them to stew in a sauté pan or deep frying pan in half a tumbler of olive oil (I guessed 1/2 cup and was happy with the results). Meanwhile, cut the eggplants, leaving on their skins, into 1/2-inch squares and put them, sprinkled with coarse salt, into a colander, so that some of the water drains away from them.
When the onions have cooked about 10 minutes and are beginning to get soft (but not fried), add the eggplants, and then the peppers, also cut into small pieces. Cover the pan and let them simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Now add the chopped tomatoes, the garlic, and the coriander seeds. Continue cooking until the tomatoes have melted (I called them melted at 10 to 15 minutes). Should the oil dry up, add a little more, remembering that the liquid from the tomatoes will also make the ratatouille more liquid, and the final result must not be too mushy.
When cold, garnish it with chopped parsley or basil. Drain off any excess oil before serving.

Poll: Beets on Pizza, Way or No Way?
First off, let me say—I love a good crust, but rarely do I love a good crust more than the topped slice itself...so my solution is usually to fold up the last little bit of the slice over the crust. But what about the rest of you? What do you do with your crusts?
1,111 of you voted, and the clear winning option: Eat those suckers, no matter what. In fact, most of you did at least something with your crusts; the losing choice was never eating them at all. The comments have a few good suggestions for what to do with them, including (notably), Paulie Gee's: "The late Joel Cimineri of Totonno's said that he'd break the crusts into small pieces and sauté them in olive oil before adding beaten eggs." Paulie also wisely advises the addition of a little cold butter—trust him.
So, this week: I want to talk about beets with you folks. I used to hate them—they were on my slim list of foods I try to avoid at all costs (Jello, banana flavored things, mint chocolate). I thought they tasted like dirt, and not in a loamy, forest-y, appealing way. Then, one day I tried some (my personal rule is to always keep trying), and miraculously, I liked them. Now I eat beets all the time, especially during this time of the year, when the market is so root vegetable heavy and I'm tired of the starchier options.
But how about on pizza? I've never had beets on a pie, but browsing through some old My Pie Monday posts had me intrigued...what would this latecomer to my food life be like on a slice? Would beets be good as a pizza topping?

Spanish Courses In Cadiz
Cadiz is a relatively small city which is situated in the south of Spain. It is an old city that was established around 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians. It then became a big commercial harbor in the Mediterranean. So Cadiz has a long history which makes it an ideal place to learn Spanish. Cadiz is a touristy spot which is another reason why so many people take Spanish courses in Cadiz. With the amazing weather that you get along the Mediterranean coast of Spain, Cadiz is a hot spot for people of all ages looking to learn Spanish.
If you have just finished your schooling and are looking to learn Spanish today with a holiday mixed with learning something new, then studying Spanish in Cadiz is a great option for you. The Cadiz Spanish schools are great and offer amazing facilities located near superb beaches.
Cadiz is not just about the beach lifestyle because it has such a great history and if you are into archaeology as well as history, then you will love Cadiz as it has many artifacts scattered all along the city, especially in the old town. You should check out the Plaza de Mina. This Plaza is like an archaeological museum where you will encounter two famous Phoenician stones called the Sarcophagus. Cadiz's beautiful cathedral has a tower which you can go to the top of and view the spectacular old city areas. One other feature of Cadiz with historical value is the famous Oratorio de San Felipe Neri cathedral which is designed with marble and bronze and has a great place in Spanish history as it was the place where the first Spanish Constitution was approved and written down.
I say thanks to for every single thing you made.

With professional teachers who will dedicate their time, even after classes, to helping become fluent in Spanish.
All About Languages also offer their students outings and tours to see landmarks and other activities outside of school (cinema, bars, restaurants etc.) to help with all aspects of learning Spanish like reading, writing and of course speaking it.
