Comments: I purchased these because they were the "cool" shoes to wear on the courts -- everybody has a pair and
they are more stylish than other tennis shoes, but, sheesh, are they uncomfortable! I decided not to order another pair for this
season because fashion (although it is valuable) is just not important enough to me to have to endure the pain of wearing these
during my matches!
From: Kristin, 5/14
Comments: These give me blisters every time I wear them.
From: Maria, 5/14
Comments: I love Barricades but the new Barricade 8 lost me. Too plastic and stiff in the front of the shoe, bends
with each step with plastic cutting into the top of the foot. Don't get me wrong -- the shoe is light and beautiful -- I bought a pair
in Fresh Aqua and the lining and detail is perfection. But, since I didn't buy them to decorate my closet with, I sent them back.
From: Marina, 4/14
Comments: It runs a bit big. I am a size 6 1/2 but I had to get a 5 1/2 because it was a little too loose. Also, the
heel of the shoe brings your sock down when you run so I recommend wearing higher socks. Not that happy with this shoe, but I
guess it depends on the shape of your feet.
From: Jo, 3/14
Comments: I ordered this shoe and am sending them back after wearing them a few times inside. My socks slipped
and the tongue constantly moved up in the shoe. Very uncomfortable and hurt my feet. I normally wear size 10 running shoe and
this size was huge. I do appreciate the wonderful customer service at Tennis Warehouse and ability to exchange the shoe!
From: Brenda, 2/14
Comments: I ordered these shoes, but am sending them back after wearing them around the house for a bit. The
heel is wide, and although the shoe was the proper size (length), my heel kept slipping out while walking. Additionally, the shoe
kept rubbing my sock so that my sock slipped down my heel fell down into the shoe. I ran around the house a couple of times
and the rubbing was awful. Overall, the shoe has a nice design and weight, and the toe box is roomy, but the heel was just too
wide for me. I've been wearing a variety of Nikes for the last couple of years, and haven't had a problem with heel width.
From: Kate, 1/14
Comments: Received the replacement pair for my daughter in about 2 to 3 weeks. I am very pleased with the overall
shoe. I will continue to buy these shoes and might even try the new version that has just come out.
From: Lucy, 12/13
Comments: I bought this shoe for both of my daughters who are competitive junior players. They play an average
of at least 10-15 hours a week of tennis. They love the feel of the shoe. Used to wear K-Swiss RS Defier, but those shoes were so
bulky and heavy. Switched to these shoes because they are a much lighter weight. My oldest daughter has a wide foot and these
fit great. The drawback is that I am replacing them every 2 to 3 months because the sole wears out. I have sent back a pair to
adidas because of the guarantee, but I am still waiting for them to come back.
From: Lucy, 11/13
Comments: Of all the different editions of the Barricade that I have worn, this one is the best. Very comfortable,
stability, and lightweight. (The previous Barricades felt so bulky, like combat boots.) These are perfect and stylish!
From: Emily, 10/13
Comments: I love the comfort and stability of these shoes.
From: Victoria, 9/13
Comments: This shoe is terrible. It is uncomfortable and has no lateral support whatsoever. I wore the Barricade 6
forever and loved that shoe. It had great support and was very comfortable. If you have any ankle issues, do not buy this shoe.
From: Kimberly, 9/13

With the resignation of Green River Mayor Ed Bentley, a newly elected city councilman was chosen to fill that vacancy and serve the remainder of Bentley's term. An election will be held in November 2009 and Pat Brady will serve as mayor of Green River for the next 23 months.
Brady was elected to the Green River City Council in November 2007. He has served in the councilman capacity since that time. During the recent city council meeting Mayor Pro-tem Dan Harrison conducted the meeting in which the applications for the position of mayor were reviewed.
Harrison had also applied to be appointed mayor, but pulled his application prior to the meeting. With only three applications remaining, the city council considered each applicant and elected to appoint Brady.
Although Brady was not present at the meeting due to a family illness, he was approved and will be installed as mayor as soon as possible. His swearing in will take place at city hall. Brady will then be responsible to make the necessary appointments to the city council and appoint the city workers as selected.
The position on the city council left vacant by his new appointment will be advertised and filled during the next city council meeting in March.
In other business conducted by the council, Doug Rasmussen of Smuin, Rich and Marsing presented the audit report for the city of Green River. He stated the audit is a fair representation of the fiscal position of the city.
The council also heard a report from Leon Defriez concerning the importance of the airport in the city. He told of how a corporation was formed to aid in the Huntington airport situation and how those steps may help with the Green River airport.
"My advice to the council is don't lose that airport. It is very important, not only to the city, but to this entire area, to keep it open and running," said Defriez. Kim McFarlane, P.A. and manager of the Green River Clinic also expressed his views, from a health care prospective, of how important the airport is to the city of Green River.
The council approved to give $5,000 toward the feasibility study for the repairs or replacement of the diversion dam. Once the feasibility study is complete, Rep. Jim Matheson and Sen. Bob Bennett have offered to help with funding for the repairs or replacement of the diversion dam.
A special meeting has been scheduled for Feb. 29 and the next regularly scheduled council meeting is March 11.
Brady was sworn into his new postion as mayor on Feb. 13 at noon at the council chambers.

You can have it all: companies that acknowledge supply chain as a strategic asset achieve 70% higher performance
Leaders focus on best-in-class delivery, cost and flexibility to meet increasingly demanding customer requirements
One size does not fit all: Leaders tailor their supply chains to the needs of different customer segments
Leaders outsource production and delivery but retain global control of core strategic functions
Leaders in mature and emerging markets invest more heavily in differentiating supply chain capabilities
Interest in nextgeneration technologies and sustainable supply chains is growing
Erratic macroeconomic cycles along with disruptions caused by natural disasters have made supply chain management both more difficult and important to business success. To adapt to this dynamic environment, executives are actively managing their supply chains utilising strategic and operational levers at their disposal to transform vulnerabilities into competitive advantage.
In this report we share the findings from our ninth and largest-ever global supply chain survey. We've drawn on the insights of more than 500 supply chain experts in Europe, North America and Asia, from companies of all sizes and across a wide range of industries. We've also picked out two groups of companies and compared their performance.The Leaders, as we've called them, have consistently outperformed their peers, while the Laggards have consistently underperformed — both financially and operationally. The Leaders in our survey point to the future. They have supply chains that are efficient, fast and tailored — a model that lets companies serve their customers reliably in turbulent market conditions and that differentiates between the needs of different sets of customers. We've come up with six key findings that point the way towards how they do it.

"I ordered two Carlos pairs of shoes - one fit perfectly but this one ran a little large. Also the part that wraps around the ankle is a little wide too. Not so wide that they'll come off, just makes it a little harder to walk in."

"I am a 6 in most shoes but sometimes with boots or sneakers order a 7 so there is more room. I first ordered these in a 7 and had to send them back because my foot was swimming in it. I then got the 6 & they are perfect. The only problem is that if you have skinny ankles like I do, they will be a bit big around the ankle but I am going to deal with that. Can't wait to wear them out!!!!!!!"

Skip to comments.Obama Finally in Real Trouble
Posted on 10/05/2012 5:01:25 AM PDT by Kaslin
Mitt Romney, as was clear to all who watched the first presidential debate, channeled Ronald Reagan right down to the glistening hair and respectful smiling face that listened as his opponent tap-danced and stutter-stepped his way to a resounding thumping in the contest.
Several post-debate polls for varying news organizations such as CNN and Newsmax showed that the voters who watched the debate viewed President Obama's lackluster performance as a clear victory for Gov. Romney. So clear, in fact, as to outdistance the margin of perceived victory measured in most past presidential debates where same night post-debate surveys were conducted.
Most supporters of Obama will write this off to a one night off performance by their man. But a deeper examination of what took place would suggest that the president has, in many ways, created a deep hole from which he must now climb in the next two contests.
What has not been mentioned enough is the fact that this first debate was actually an introductory event for Mitt Romney. Most Americans did not watch the endless Republican primary debates earlier in the year. As a result, the image they had of Romney had been formed by brief moments from stories from the evening news or from some late night comedian. This was Mitt Romney's opportunity to introduce himself to most voters on his own terms.
And because President Obama has avoided long press conferences or other opportunities to speak extemporaneously, many voters who have seen him on cozy shows such as "The View," or in very structured interviews, such as his recent appearance on "60 Minutes," are having a hard time reconciling the Obama they thought they knew with the one who debated Romney in Denver.
Certainly the president will come out swinging in the next contest, and in coming days many a comparison will be made to Ronald Reagan's weak performance in his first debate against Walter Mondale during his 1984 re-elction bid. Reagan seemed weak and at times confused and came back to clobber Mondale in the next debate. But there is a big difference here.
First, Reagan was already known as the great communicator, and no one had ever suggested that he could only speak without the help of a teleprompter. When Reagan "bounced back" in his second debate, there was a high level of past performance to which he returned. No such record exists for President Obama. He bested John McCain in 2008, but McCain was himself a weak debater who often was lost in the same high weeds of policy and insider type talk that we heard from Obama in the Denver contest.
Reagan had no long term history of stuttering, grasping for words or uttering "uh" or "look" every few sentences while trying to respond to questions or make a point. To be honest, these stylistic problems that Obama highlighted in the first debate have been his hallmark throughout his presidency -- it is simply a matter of no one ever calling him out over them.
But Obama's debate problem runs deeper than a matter of his style and manner of delivering a message. In the first debate, he embraced several terms and pushed several concepts that could become deadly in a final contest where domestic policy can once again dominate the contest.
First, he chose to proudly adopt the term "Obamacare" as one that from now on will be considered a non-confrontational term. If Romney plays it right, Obama's decision might be tantamount to Herbert Hoover having proudly claimed ownership of the oh-so-nasty reference to the shanties and homeless hovels referred to in his days as "Hoovervilles." Obama now owns the term for better or worse.
More importantly, Obama has left open a huge door through which Romney may walk, should he so choose. By making a big issue out of the lack of specificity to Romney's proposals, such as cuts to future budgets, Obama is wide open to a last minute laundry list of specifics from Romney in the final debate. That would leave President Obama grasping at challenges to the proposals and with only days to come back with attacks. A basic rule in debate -- never let your opponent be vague and fill in all of the blanks late in the contest.
Given that President Obama's greatest problems are currently in an area most Americans don't follow, foreign policy, Romney has a sporting chance of taking two debates in a row. If that happens, the emperor may have no clothes, and once the public notices, the polling numbers may start to truly move toward Romney.
All that golf is finally paying off.
"...as his opponent tap-danced..."
Ooooh, the words tap danced have been used . Isn't that as racist as using the words "lazy" or "Chicago"? :)
A month back I'm sure Obama was dreading the "economy" debates and relishing the "foreign policy" debates. Now, with his foreign policy literally going up in flames, he must not be sleeping too well at night. He truly is boxed in and all Romney has to do is play his cards right.
Don't gloat. The left will do what they always do when a normal person threatens their stranglehold on freedom: invent a false story and plaster it all over the news.
"The left will do what they always do when a normal person threatens their stranglehold on freedom: invent a false story and plaster it all over the news."
Or wag the dog in Libya.
I'm betting on some "huge disaster" to save his bacon.
John Sununu said it best. No amount of preparation will help President Lazy and Stupid.
It really won't matter. As long as Obama is breathing in the next two debates, the press will treat his performance as the second coming of Cicero.
This memory problem is the reason he latched on to each hint Lehrer threw to him, simply repeating Lehrer's words, then getting off track while elaborating on them.
It doesn't matter if he comes out swinging the next time, he will still have trouble responding to a question and completing a sentence.
Still calling blowout maybe 350+ electoral votes for Romney, throw in a few surprises like Michigan, NM, Pa, Wisconsin and maybe a surprise NE state like Maine.
Only on Monday.
It's premature to declare this thing over.Romney helped himself noticeably the other night but this thing's still very,very close.
Obama is by far the stupidest man to ever serve as president. I still am dumbfounded how he managed to fool so many people for so long.
Obama is the poster child for affirmative action.
Not as long as there's a single Libyan city left un-bombed or a single Executive Order left un-issued (student loan forgiveness,anyone?).
Still calling blowout maybe 350+ electoral votes for Romney...
Hate to say this but you're delusional.Yes,it's distinctly possible that Romney will win but if he does it will be by a whisker...Electoral Vote-wise,at least.
I actually agreed with Juan Williams on the Five last night. The big story was how the left reacted. They were not prepared for O to fail. They actually reacted negatively towards him. Next time they will be prepared for O to fail and will be better prepared to cover for him. Their reaction will be more controlled.
I expect the 'Town Hall' debate to be a disaster. "I'm part of the 47%...Why do you hate me", "I got laid off and you killed my wife". " I need my house back. What are you doing to help me?" These town hall questions (orchestrated by the MSM and DNC) just can't be answered off the cuff. BUT, When the debate goes to foreign policy, that is target rich for Romney. What good has Obammi, or for that matter, Biden and Hillary been? Slo Joe wanted to split Iraq into three separate territories, giving us three more places to shovel money into and extract terrorists from, Hillary has embarrassed us daily, and Obama has killed our relations with our historical allies, shown weakness to our enemies and supported terrorists.
Hopefully, their disappointment and outrage will be focussed on 0bama, no matter how much the left tries to blame it on conservatives.
We may yet avoid an Ozombie Apocalypse.
Wrong...wrong...wrong! He's very,very intelligent.He is,OTOH,the most amoral President ever to serve.It's vitally important that we not confuse the two.We mustn't underestimate our enemy.
The funniest reaction out of the left was the hypothesis that he was sandbagging the economic debate to "come back strong" in the foreign policy debate.
I can only... what, fantasize?... that Romney will make some oblique reference to 0bama bowing to foreign leaders.
While I can't fault your hypothesis for credibility, I do disagree.
I can not see doyens that posit such inept excuses and rationalizations operating with that degree of subtlety and stoic resignation.
The President has problems with short-term memor
And delivering real long term results
The vast majority of people don't follow politics like we here on FR do and they get most of their "news" from Liberal television and radio newscasters who cover for Obama.
The vast majority of people don't follow politics like we here on FR do and they get most of their "news" from Liberal television and radio newscasters who cover for Obama.
So true. Watched debate, and IM a relative who supports O.
There response on watching the debate. Romney is stupid.
There's not much hope with them as a voter, as they don't want to see the
obvious truth.
Left it with , you should reconsider, as you are younger than us, and will bear the real harm O will bring if re-elected both financially, and security wise.
Hate these family differences, but you need to tell them the truth, and then drop it.
The only difference between Romney "looking him straight in the eye" and "trying to stare him down" is the reporter's attitude.
About his memory problem, that could come from the admitted early excesses in marijuana and other drugs or from alcohol. There are other possible causes, but no evidence for them.
"Well my 47% comment as Team Obama likes to do was taken out of context. My question is you said you are part of the 47% who does not pay federal income taxes correct? Well wouldn't you like to have a vibrant economy with many choices of good paying vocations for you and your family? You seem like a articulate, concerned person which you would like to be in a position of working, succeeding and prospering, to have the American Dream ..correct? I am sure you dont want to depend on government for the safety and security of your family?(Killer question there, exposes the plant) President Obama wants you dependent, to have just enough to want more, to be dependent, that is very un-American. Thank you for your question.
See you take control by asking questions, old Zig Ziglar technique, you make the person sound irrational if they dont follow you reasoning.
You think that a narcissistic marxist who has the most powerful job in the world is going to intentionally throw it away????
Please explain your reasoning.
Otherwise known as "denial."
Me personally... I can not permit someone, relative or not, who "doubles down on stupid" to walk away with their dignity unscathed.
I boil all that down to he sometimes just doesn't have his heart in it.
He sees the future and it is bleak. He see's no way to successfully proceed within the shackles of liberal/marxist dogma. With a Republican House and the possibility of a Republican Senate, he can do nothing.
He is literally between a rock and a hard place.
And the Peter Principle
I don't want to discount your point about amorality, but how has he shown his "intelligence" in the four years of being President?
Politically-speaking, I think he's shown he can rule by thuggery. Like a tyrant. He surrounds himself with like-minded thugs. He'd rather rule by decree, than by the prescribed legislative process.
He's not a master politician in the sense that he can forge coalitions; he does not compromise; he's certainly not a statesmen (nor do I expect him to be one AFTER his presidency); he doesn't hold the country above his own self-interests.
If he is "intelligent," as you say, it's only that he can conform to radical poltical exigencies when there is advantage to be gained. He can be a good "front man" for radicals, but when actually called upon to show leadership and "intelligence," he falls way short.
Memory loss is a symptom of long term marijuana use. FACT.
What Romney should say is, I've given specifics on what I will do, Mr. President. My question to you is no what will you do because your plan isn't working and we can't survive another four years in that direction. My question to you is, what will you do differently?
Then he hits him with stats again, unemployment, SSI disability (those numbers are huge), food stamps, inflation, etc.
I find the hypothesis that Jim Lehrer sensed a mental defect in Obama fascinating. Unable to follow the intellectual thread or the thrust of the topic, Lehrer had to feed him the topic and redirect him to the questions. I sense there is something terribly wrong with Obama. If so, the next debate will just be the final nail in the coffin.
"Obama finally in real trouble."
Not to the hardcore fourty-percenters.
You are spot on. Romney won the debate but all it accomplished was to momentarily stop the Media led parade proclaiming the inevitability of the 0ne's reelection.
R/R had better be prepared to withstand the unleashed fury of the Chicago thugs and all of the political chicanery that such fury involves. Lets face it, the electoral math is precarious. The One only has to defend a handful of the so called swing states while R/R almost has to sweep all of them.
Thinking about Obama in trouble, I can't help but think about a wounded, cornered animal. Very dangerous and unpredictable...
Given how far they have already gone, how audacious their lies have already become, I worry about how much uglier things might get, if Team Obama really starts to think he will lose.
invent a false story and plaster it all over the news.""
We already got one:
The "7.8% Unemployment".
If that number is correct, I am Marilyn Monroe.
As good as it is to see Zero's roosters coming home...this is NOT the reason he sucked. He sucked because HE HAS NO SUBSTANCE. Period.
Excellent point
OK,fair enough...I should have mentioned another factor in addition to amorality.Osama Obama,in terms of raw intelligence,is,very likely,in the superior range.Probably even 120's...not Mensa,but noticeably above average.What many here,including you (perhaps),mistake for "stupidity" is actually amorality combined with a breathtaking lack of wisdom and experience.I know that some argue that "wisdom" must be factored in when determining intelligence and,depending on how broadly you're defining the word,that might be appropriate.When *I* speak of intelligence I define the word rather narrowly and then,in a detailed discussion,address "wisdom","experience" and "morality" as well.
But,as was once observed,Osama *is* clean,he *is* articulate (very articulate) and has a certain charisma (to some).I point out Osama's superior intelligence in order to remind folks that an *intelligent* psychopath (e.g.,Osama) is *far* more dangerous than is a stupid one (e.g.,your typical gang banger).
It is good to hear that some are finally waking up
Obama is by far the stupidest man to ever serve as president. I still am dumbfounded how he managed to fool so many people for so long.
Obama is the poster child for affirmative action."""
I also think that Obama has put back advances that blacks had made in this country by as much as 200 years.
White & Hispanics are more than angry about the preferential treatment given blacks under Holder & Obama. That isn't going to die down quickly, IMO.
Obama has given PAC's & Romney so many ad possibilities that they have a bountiful harvest of items to choose from. Time to hit him hard!

Skip to comments.Durbin Says We Must Buy Hybrid Cars Because Of Tornadoes: "It's Your Money Or Your Life" (video)
Posted on 04/06/2012 10:32:32 AM PDT by i88schwartz
Sen. Dick Durbin reacts to the tornadoes in Dallas, Texas earlier this week. Durbin calls for more laws regulating carbon output while he sends a dire warning that we must convert to hybrid cars or lose our life. Durbin says we must spend money now to fix the problem.
"It's your money or your life," he said a press conference. "We are either going to dedicate ourselves to a cleaner, more livable planet and accept the initial investment necessary or we're going to pay a heavier price in terms of loss of human life, damage and costs associated with it."
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Master of the non sequitur.
What an idiot
0bama, Durbin and other communist/national socialist democrats should go for a patent on non-sequiturs and post hoc ergo propter hoc. There's probably a DOE grant of 'green loan' available on that.
Incredible! I had to go back to see if this was semi-satire. It wasn't.
If obamacare is approved at the SC - this is next - mandated cars.
Even more moronic voters?
Pogo got it right. We have met the enemy and they are us.
I imagine Trofim Lysenko's followers were similarly hysterical when they started to realize that the jig was up.
These people are insane!
Perfect and stolen!!!
Yeah, because tornadoes are a recent phenomenon. Oy.
And, if we elect democrats the weather forecasts will be more accurate!
Skittles and Unicorns for all!
What is that??
That makes ZERO sense.
Half this country must be blithering idiots to fall for this crap.
How about the congressman who was worried about too many people (Navy base) tipping over the island of Guam? Either these people are utterly stupid, or they have an agenda to fleece the taxpayers using the "sky is falling" lie.
As a Hybrid Engr told me we don't make anything here anymore because of the EPA, ya can't plate or paint it so it is sent to China so they are FUBAR-ing their environment and eventually their air gets here and that is ok? And then the parts are shipped back here?
Tell me where is the next positive effect on the environment in that scenario especially given the payback time of these cars....
Beam me up Scotty, no synopsis are firing in the Senator from IL's cranium...
"Half this country must be blithering idiots to fall for this crap."
Yes, and despite their obvious handicap, are nevertheless adept at voting; in many cases, multiple times.
How else to explain the squatter in the Oval Office?
Thank you for the picture.
I have stolen it, too.
And added it to the above story
and posted it on FB.
I go back a long, long way. And we were having severe tornadoes in SW Oklahoma long before anyone worried or even thought about CO2 emissions.
His wig is screwed on a little extra tight today. The blood is not reaching that half of a functioning brain cell.
Didn't you hear? It's Skillets, not Skittles! lol
Yo Dick!
It's called Tornado Alley, not Prius Parkway.
Yes, America must sacrifice and buy these overpriced hybrids while countries like India, Russia and China buy more gas driven vehicles. Sounds like a real deal folks.
"And when Obamacare is upheld, we will mandate that you all buy Chevy Volts and turn your old vehicles."
Hey Dick, are your parents siblings?
Because tornados in Texas are unheard of. /sarc
Same with hurricanes. And drought.
Hey Dick, do you ever wonder what life would be like if you'd had enough oxygen at birth?
When you do not allow or permit people to grow up, they stay stuck in liberalism.
Because youth is naive and idealistic.
The saying, "If you're a conservative at 18 you have no heart; if you're a liberal at 30 you have no brains" describes the process of maturing from idealistic youth to a responsible, able-bodied person who learns the realities of life. You can still be optimistic, just not idiotically naive about it.
Democrat/liberal policies that have been enacted the last 60 years have been designed to prevent as many people as possible from making this normal transition from overly-idealistic youth to responsible and functioning able-bodied people.
I wasn't around but we were having this sort of weather before automobiles were ever dreamt of. Ludicrous Lies of the Left.
Same here for this Texas native. Its spring in Texas. You can count on at least one storm a week. Under the right conditions they will produce tornadoes. Go back to any turn of the century farm in these parts and you will see storm cellars. Those folks weren't building those to increase property values.
As I posted on Facebook in response to the CNN ladies attempting to make the connection between tornadoes and "climate change":
Major outbreaks just on Palm Sunday: 1920 - 38+ tornadoes/380+ fatalities; 1965 - 47/271; 1994 - 25/42. Using the critical thinking skills employed by today's media, it would appear Palm Sunday is getting safer.
Technology and the spreading population is just now reaching the point where it would be hard not to spot a tornado either in person or by radar in the US. Just 30 years ago that would have been quite challenging. There is no telling how many unreported tornadoes this country has had in the last 200 years.
I have a book from 1915 called "America's Tornado Disaster" or something like that.
The book was about a tornado that stayed on the ground for many hours and tore through a number of mid-western states, killing 600 - 700 people and causing enormous property damage. There weren't many automobiles on the road in 1915.
Cars and their emissions cause tornados? Gimme a break, Durbin.
Durbin is a fool, but then again, we all knew that already.
The Illinois media people describe Durbin as being so dumb he doesn't even know how dumb he is.
I like your enthusiasm, but Unicorns aren't for everyone. My cousin Dave lived with the Clintons for awhile, but Bill called him a Jackelope, so Dave put his horn up Bill's donkey. Turns out Bill likes that, so Dave took off for Arizona.
Id like to see those two on Jeopardy.
What is...Im an idiot, Alex.
Healthy polar bear count confounds doomsayers
Global Warming on Free Republic
Latest from Global Warming News Site
Because their constituents vote STUPIDLY.
I'm so sick of these a-holes.
By the morons who believe them.
Anywhere but Congress!
Thanks for the ping.
drive one yourself asshole
Still Thinking Says: "Find a topic where you can actually contribute something, or STFU, Turban!"
They get elected by a liberal with a hatpin in a room full of ballots that no one showed up to claim because the liberal, some time before the election, registered a ton of people to vote. The people he registered were chosen carefully because they were the sort he knew full well would not show up on election day, thus leaving the precinct with a ton of no-show registrations & ballots with which the democrats can play.
Morons will elect morons.....

Wildlife officers are monitoring the condition of a deer seen wandering a Parker neighborhood with an arrow in its back.
The young buck has been spotted by concerned residents in the Robinson Ranch subdivision several times since late June, and a Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife officer responded to the area June 28 and caught a glimpse of the wounded animal.
Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for parks and wildlife, said officers are reluctant to intervene unless the deer suffered a life-threatening injury. The animal has not been slowed by the arrow, which appears to have punctured the deer's hide. Tranquilization can be stressful and even lead to death, and is a last resort in this case, Churchill said.
"We're not sure if it's going to break off, but we will keep eye on it," she said. "If it starts to fail in health, then it may be appropriate to step in."
The Parker Police Department, which has received phone calls about the deer, said it is "very mobile"
The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife is asking residents to call 303-291-7227 if the buck begins limping or looks to be in bad health. They are being asked not to approach or attempt to capture the deer.
The police department is hoping the public can provide tips that will lead to the apprehension of the person who shot the deer with the arrow. That person could face a long list of poaching-related charges, Churchill said. Animal cruelty charges generally don't apply in wildlife cases.
Tips can be submitted to the Parker Police Department Animal Services Officer at 303-805-6631 or email@example.com.

Skip to comments.Hillary's Secret War: Foreword by Jim Robinson
Posted on 03/09/2004 4:20:49 PM PST by Richard Poe
Hillary's Secret War
by Richard Poe
We poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into building FreeRepublic.com and organizing a cyber-community of tens of thousands of Freeper activists all over the United States. We didn't do that job to win medals or accolades. We did it because it had to be done, just like we went to Vietnam -- those of us who went -- because that job had to be done too.
To tell the truth, I was ready to go to my grave knowing that everything we accomplished at Free Republic might be forgotten. That was OK with me. What mattered was doing the job, not getting credit for it. Still, when I read Richard's book for the first time, it kind of choked me up a little bit, because I saw that somebody had been paying attention; somebody recognized what we were doing. Somebody knew that the Freepers were fighting for liberty on the Internet, just as we veterans fought for freedom in Vietnam. That made me feel pretty good.
For me, it was fascinating to read about the lives and struggles of others involved in this movement that Richard calls the New Underground -- people like Chris Ruddy, Joe Farah, Matt Drudge, David Horowitz, J. J. Johnson, and all the rest. Believe it or not, I don't really know any of those people. I met Drudge once and J. J. Johnson once. But as for Ruddy and Farah, it's been an e-mail here, a phone call there. And I don't think I ever communicated with David Horowitz at all.
White House unless she shuts us down first.
We know the storm is coming,
and we're getting ready for it.
Hillary says that we're a vast right-wing conspiracy, but if there's a conspiracy going on, they sure never let me in on it. I hear Richard Mellon Scaife has given money to a lot of fine causes and organizations, and good for him, but he sure hasn't thrown any my way.
When it comes to networking and conspiring, I'm not much good at it. It's hard enough just trying to get Freepers to work together. How do you get tens of thousands of individualists to cooperate on something, each with his or her own opinion and agenda? Trying to keep the Freepers pulling in the same direction is like trying to herd cats.
I love all the details in Richard's book about the other Web sites and their owners. Reading their stories was eye opening for me. I was so busy fighting my own skirmishes, I didn't have much time to survey the battlefield as a whole. Hillary's Secret War showed me that the persecution we endured at Free Republic was part of a bigger picture.
Of course, I knew about Hillary and her secret police. We all knew that. Way back in the early '90s on the Prodigy message board, we were already talking about how it seemed that Hillary was pulling all the strings. But her war on media dissidents, both on and off the Internet, really was a secret war, just as Richard says. Most people in America had no idea it was going on.
They didn't know what kinds of pressures and harassment people faced when they tried to speak out and tell the truth about Clinton corruption. Even many of us who were directly involved in the dissident media didn't always have the perspective to fit the pieces together: the threats and intimidation, the IRS audits, burglaries, lawsuits, surveillance, infiltration, the smear campaigns, false arrests, journalists getting knocked upside the head in hotels, even a lot of folks mysteriously ending up dead.
Now, I want to make one thing clear. I'm not really big on conspiracy theory. If I'm going to believe something, there's got to be some meat and potatoes to it. I sincerely doubt that Hillary ever personally ordered anyone killed. I just don't want to believe that Hillary is that rotten. And I don't think Richard Poe jumps to that conclusion either.
But there were definitely forces at work in America that killed to protect the Clintons and their secrets. Richard doesn't pull any punches in writing about that. Whether those forces were Chinese intelligence or Dixie Mafia, or whatever they were, I can only guess. But they were out there. And if Hillary ever said to her subordinates, "Gee, I wish such-and-such person would just go away and disappear," I don't doubt there were people in the kind of circles she moved in who might take a statement like that seriously and do something about it.
Hillary is the godmother of the Clinton crime family. There is no question about it. That's why she said we need gatekeepers and editors on the Internet. Hillary has a lot to hide and she knows she can't control the Internet the way she controls Dan Rather. The invention of the printing press freed the masses from the gatekeepers of old. Now anyone with a computer and Internet connection wields the equivalent of his own printing press, along with a worldwide distribution network.
Web sites such as The DrudgeReport, WorldNetDaily, NewsMax, FrontPageMagazine, Lucianne, FreeRepublic, and countless others have given voice to millions of liberty-minded individuals. Underground pamphleteers ignited the flames of revolution in 1776. Now the Internet is fanning those flames all over again. And that's bad news for Hillary.
She knows she can't get back in the White House unless she shuts us down first. The secret war Richard writes about is still going on. It died down a little bit when Bush took office, but it's just the lull before the storm. We know the storm is coming, and we're getting ready for it.

But what will make me the happiest is Jim Robinson and his family
having dinner at the White House with President and Mrs. Bush.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna get this book fer sure!
Thank you for writing it!
That has to be the understatement of the century... :)
So what is your girl up to now :^)
We all know that chances are we would have a very different President if not for the ability of Freepers to communicate and activate.
Thank you.
FReeper #405.

Roger that.
Can monthlies get a discount on that?
Yikes. He's on to us, boys. Scatter!
I don't! I don't doubt it one bit.
Pre-ordered on Amazon.
I am humbled by your low number.
Those were the days, eh? A new revelation about Vince Foster, or Hillary's Cattle Futures scam, on an almost daily basis.
LOL. That's an old FR expression (and very true). Don't know who used it first on FR, but have seen and heard it said many times on the forum and at FR related gatherings.
You're gonna make her maaaay ....ud!
I'm just about finished with your "The Seven Myths of Gun Control", and it is absorbing. Full of facts and well-documented. I expect to find the same with Hillary's Secret War.
We are going to be facing her, in some way or another, before long. I think your book will help arm us.
Take care! (seriously!)

Sunday September 22, Noon Kickoff Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Last week's results:
New Orleans beat Tampa Bay 16-14 and Arizona beat Detroit 25-21. The Cardinals used a seven play, 61 yard drive in 2:29 to take a 25-21 lead over the visiting Lions. Arizona scored the go-ahead points with just two minutes left in their game last week against the Lions. One could argue that the Cardinals could be and should be 2-0 on the season.
Arizona took a 24-13 led over the Rams in the first week of the season only to see the Rams close out the game on a 14-0 run. Arizona started the 2012 season 4-0 only to lose their 11 of last 12 games of the regular season to finish with a 5-11 record.
Series History:
The Saints have played the Cardinals 26 times with the Cardinals owning a 14-13 advantage against the Black and Gold. The last time the teams met was back in 2010 when Arizona beat New Orleans 30-20 in Arizona. The two have met 26 times in the regular season and once in the playoffs. After the 2009 regular season the Saints opened the post season with a 45-14 blowout win over Arizona in the NFC Divisional playoffs.
Arizona tidbits
New "Arians" out there:
He led the Colts to a surprising 11 win regular season in 2012 and an AFC playoff berth and then became the Head Coach of the Cardinals. Bruce Arians was named the NFL Coach of the Year last season as well. Did you know that Coach Arians was the Saints TE Coach under then Saints Head Coach Jim Mora? Me neither. I read it in the Cardinals' game notes.
Turnover in the desert:
Over the course of the last few seasons there has been a lot of turnover in Arizona in the form of players. There will be 17 new starting players on the Cardinals Roster since the last time the Saints played Arizona. And only 11 current members on the Arizona Roster where on the team when the teams last played during the 2010 season.
Down from the Bayou
The Honey Badger, LB Kevin Minter and the multi-talented Patrick Peterson are all former LSU players who are on the Cardinals Roster. Minter is injured and may not play, Peterson is coming off a game in which he more than had his hands full in covering Lions WR Calvin Johnson and Mathieu made the game saving tackle in the Cards 25-21 win over Detroit last weekend in the desert.
Other Louisiana connections from the Cardinals
include former Cards great and former Southern University Coach Stump Mitchell. Mitchell was fired after just two games in 2012 at Southern and now he is the RB's coach for Arizona.
Cardinals assistant OL Coach Larry Zierlein coached at both LSU and Tulane in the 1990's, Arizona Special Teams Coordinator Amos Jones once coached at Tulane, QB's Coach Freddie Kitchens was at LSU in 2000, Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowels was at Grambling State in the late 90's.
Master P
! No other player in the NFL has been on the field more than Arizona's Patrick Peterson. The former LSU Tiger has been on the field for 125 plays, the most in the league. Double P has 118 of the Cardinals 119 defensive snaps to his credit and Peterson has also been a part of seven offensive snaps. Look for this talented young star to play all over the field again Sunday in the dome.
Saints notes
Maintain Defense, maintain!
The Saints Defense has been outstanding the first two weeks this season. Teams are not converting on third down, the Saints are allowing only 15 points per game and the defense has made game saving and game changing plays in two weeks as well.
"We just want to get better each time we step on the field," said Saints Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan. If the Saints Defense can maintain their current play, the Saints stand to win a lot of games this season. And I mean a
On the run!
The Saints have shown commitment to running the football. But their efforts have yet to yield anything significant. "I thought there was improvement. They graded out well," said Coach Sean Payton when asked how his O-Line did in the team's 16-14 win over Tampa Bay.
However the Saints have averaged just 76.5 rushing yards in their first two games. And the guy that is supposed to play the role of main RB, Mark Ingram is averaging less than two yards per carry.
Folks you don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford to know that something is not working. The Saints, I do believe will continue to try and pound the football. But if better numbers are not achieved, looking elsewhere for production coming out of the backfield will be necessary.
Early leader board:
The Saints would like to get off to a fast start against the Cardinals. Yes we hear that every week. But this time around the Saints would like to get 7 instead of three on their first possession.
New Orleans had a nice opening drive last week but failed to cash in with a TD instead calling on K Garrett Hartley for a Field Goal. And yes, the Black and Gold could really be looking pretty after just three weeks into the season.
If Tampa loses at NE, the NY Giants beat Carolina and Miami beats Atlanta the Saints could be 3-0 with a solid distance between themselves and the rest of the NFC South.
Get into the Zone.
The End Zone: New Orleans is most dangerous when their offense puts pressure on opposing teams to keep up. In order for this to happen the Saints have to score in the Red Zone.
Last week New Orleans was 0-4 in the Red Zone. That's not good. The Saints are 1-7 in the Red Zone this season. I'd say it's time to score some TD's. Wouldn't you?
The Big Chief's Final Analysis
The oddsmakers have the Saints as a 7 ½ point favorite with the over/under at 48 ½. New Orleans has to get out of their offensive funk eventually, right? Why not this week? Well, I think it will be harder to get out of the rushing funk this week than the previous two.
The Cards have some good defensive play makers and they have been salty against the run allowing only 58 yards per game. I see the Saints struggling some again to get production on the ground and if that is the case the Red Zone trips will be very key in this game.
The Saints can't keep kicking field goals. They need Td's. I like the Saints at home but Arizona is not a bad team. In fact the Cardinals should be 2-0. In a tight one I say
New Orleans 27 Arizona 21
What they are saying
Arizona Cardinals CB #21 Patrick Peterson on the Saints Offense
"We see that these guys are very explosive there in the (Mercedes-Benz) Superdome. As a defense, we have to seize the moment because they come out so fiery in the first quarter and they like to move the ball and get a lot of plays in and take their shots. As a defense, we have to seize those moments. We know those guys are going to move the ball; we want to do our best job to try and contain that. We want to slow down their big play ability guys. We know that they're going to take those shots. We can't give up those big plays, but the whole key to their offense, which everyone knows, is Drew Brees. I believe that if you can get to him and harass him a little bit, although he's a great quarterback, a lot of quarterbacks don't like to get hit. If we can get a couple of hits on him, rattle him up a little bit, we don't necessarily have to get sacks but if we get some clean hits and let him know that we're there, I think we'll have a productive day, especially in the back end, not giving him the opportunity to set his feet and scan the field and pick us apart."
Saints Coach Sean Payton on Cardinals DB Tyrann Mathieu making the transition from CFB to the NFL.
"He's done very well his first year. On tape, he has very good instincts. I know that is something that served him well when he played at LSU, and it's also evident now on pro tape. You never know how quickly a player is going to be inserted into a lineup, but he's fit in their nickel scheme very well. He's very confident, he has good ball skills, he's very smart on the field, and you can see that on tape."
Saints QB #9 Drew Brees on how the play of the Saints Defense helps the Saints Offense
"Yeah, it is. What it does, in the game the other day, the defense played phenomenal. The only two touchdowns they scored were from two turnovers and that's when we give them the ball deep in our territory on one and they run one back from a touch down. At the end of the day, you say our defense didn't give up any points. Those were all points that I gave up for that matter. I feel terrible about that. But yeah, when the defense is playing like that, you feed off that, especially when they got us two turnovers around midfield. You feel like you are going to take those and get points immediately. That is complimentary football at its best, where you are feeding off their emotion, their success, their ability to take the ball away and those kind of things. You are capitalizing on those and in turn I think that feeds them. When we are moving the ball on offense and sustaining drives and giving them rest and scoring points at the end of it, I know they get charged up too."
Saints Coach Sean Payton on Arizona DB Patrick Peterson
"He's explosive so we need to have a game plan in special teams devoted just to punt coverage. Fortunately, Thomas (Morstead) is one of the better punters in this league and he understands distance, hang time, and location are critical. It is always easy to say, hey, let's kick the ball to the sideline, but having to come off your foot where you want to go with it directionally is a skillset. I think that is something he is very good at and it's going to be important in this game."

Treviso moved into the top six of the RaboDirect Pro12 courtesy of a 20-10 victory over struggling Scarlets at Stadio di Monigo.
Treviso moved into the top six of the RaboDirect Pro12 courtesy of a 20-10 victory over struggling Scarlets at Stadio di Monigo.
Tries either side at half-time from Ludovico Nitoglia and Brendan Williams helped the Italians to a well-earned win.
Treviso headed into the match on the back of their first victory of the season against Glasgow, while Scarlets were looking to bounce back from the previous week's defeat to Leinster.
It was a tight first half and it took 28 minutes for the first points of the match to be scored, and 39 minutes until we saw the first try.
A Dan Newton penalty put the Welsh outfit in front just before the half-hour mark and it looked as though they'd take their slender advantage with them into the interval.
But Treviso hit back with ten points in the final five minutes of the first period. First, on 36 minutes, Chris Burton levelled things up with the boot and then minutes later Ludovico Nitoglia got the game's first try.
Burton added the conversion and the Italians led 10-3 at the interval.
Scarlets struck back in early in the second half through a Liam Williams try.
Newton levelled the scores with the conversion but Treviso were back in front within ten minutes.
On 50 minutes Burton kicked his second penalty of the afternoon and then on 55 minutes Brendan Williams crossed for a crucial try.
Burton's conversion gave the home side a 10-point advantage and they defended their lead for the remaining 25 minutes.
The victory lifts Treviso to sixth in the table while Scarlets drop to tenth.
For Treviso:
Tries: Nitoglia, Williams
Cons: Burton 2
Pens: Burton 2
For Scarlets:
Tries: Williams
Cons: Newton
Pens: Newton
Treviso: 15 Ludovico Nitoglia, 14 Tommaso Iannone, 13 Ezio Galon, 12 Luca Morisi, 11 Brendan Williams, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Alberto Chillon, 8 Marco Filippucci, 7 Francesco Minto, 6 Manoa Vosawai, 5 Benjamin Vermaak, 4 Antonio Pavanello (c), 3 Augusto Allori, 2 Enrico Ceccato, 1 Michele Rizzo.
Replacements: 16 Diego Vidal, 17 Matteo Muccignat, 18 Carlo Fazzari, 19 Valerio Bernabò, 20 Gonzalo Padrò, 21 Willem De Waal, 22 Simon Picone, 23 Alberto Di Bernardo.

County to buy abandoned Bank of America building
January 11, 2013
The abandoned Bank of America building in downtown Nevada City will no longer be vacant if all goes according to Nevada County's plan to house the district attorney's office there.
The county is set to enter escrow on purchasing the property if the Nevada City Council approves a resolution expressing support for the county's imminent purchase at its Wednesday night meeting, said County Executive Officer Rick Haffey.
The district attorney's current office is located across Union Street on the top level of commercial buildings, but employees occupy space there originally designed to be residential apartments, Haffey said.
Bank of America vacated the building at 201 Commercial St. in March 2012, amid the city's struggles to retain the Nevada County Courthouse in Nevada City's downtown historic district.
"If they moved away, we would lose the reasoning for having the courthouse in Nevada City," said Nevada City Manager David Brennan. "It just weakens our position as a city to retain the courthouse."
The county opted for a five-year lease at the district attorney's current office in 2008, which is set to expire in the early summer of this year, said Chief Information Officer Steven Monaghan, who has been working on the real estate deal for the past year. The county is also set to purchase the office space above Friar Tuck's that currently houses the county's probation department. The county currently leases the space.
Gary Tintle and Ken Baker own the former Bank of America building, Tintle said, who also has an ownership stake in the district attorney's and the probation department's current office space.
"If both transactions are made, the county will save more than $200,000 to the general fund annually," Haffey said.
The purchases will not necessitate a down payment that would immediately impact the general fund, and the mortgage payments at both locations would be less than what the county pays to lease both properties, Haffey said.
"The purchases are not finalized," Haffey said, adding the county would not move on the real estate deal without the support of Nevada City.
Along with needing support from the Nevada City Council, the transaction still hinges on approval of a conditional use permit by Nevada City's planning commission at its Jan. 17 meeting and approval of the purchase by the Nevada County Board of Supervisors.
An application for subdividing the upstairs portion of the probation department's current location will also be forthcoming, Brennan noted.
"At this point, we can't find anything that can prevent it that can't be mitigated," Brennan said.
The county board has been kept apprised of the ongoing negotiations during closed session meetings, but the final approval of the purchase agreement would take place in open session, Monaghan said.
"We are still working with the owners to negotiate terms and work on some background stuff," Monaghan said.
The county has explored other options regarding housing the offices, including obtaining a building in Whispering Pines Business Park in Grass Valley, Haffey said.
"We'd prefer to see another bank or retail come in, but it's been vacant for nearly a year, and there doesn't seem to be an interest in it," Brennan said. "We think it is important to take the opportunity to keep them in town as opposed to waiting for something else."
The county currently houses its departments of Public Health and Behavioral Health in office space in the Grass Valley commercial area.
"Our preference is to remain in downtown Nevada City," Monaghan said.

Oracle Solaris On Amazon EC2 In Transition
By drapeau on Aug 11, 2011
Hi everybody, it's the ISV Engineering EC2 team here, with some commentary on the current situation with OpenSolaris on Amazon EC2.
We've made some changes this summer as the result of continued integration of Sun business units and initiatives into Oracle. While I'm not always able to say what's coming in the mid-term, I can tell you what we have done over the past few months and where we stand at the moment.
I'll start with the web site. You've no doubt noticed by now that
the sun.com website has been decommissioned. Some of our content moved
to the Oracle Technology Network; other content is simply removed
because it is no longer relevant in the context of Oracle, as it was in
the Sun days. Similarly, sun.com aliases work for a little while
longer, but eventually will go away. This blog, however, remains
intact: it was originally a Sun blog and we moved to our new landing pad
at blogs.oracle.com/ec2.
Next, the changes in OpenSolaris, and the impact on our EC2 AMIs. As we're sure you are well aware, Oracle has discontinued the OpenSolaris efforts within the company in order to focus our resources on the Solaris 11 product. Solaris 11 is built from the OpenSolaris heritage so if you have had the chance to try Solaris 11 Express, you'll see lots that you are familiar with from a technical and usage perspective. Licensing terms have changed, however, to better fit into Oracle's commercial use model for all the rest of our software products.
As part of the change in product direction and focus, we are no longer making OpenSolaris available. The impact on our EC2 initiative is immediate: this summer, we removed our OpenSolaris-based AMIs from Amazon Web Services. If you had an AMI that you copied, then you would have already agreed to the previous license agreement terms, and you should be able to continue using that copied AMI. If you were using one of the AMIs we posted and simply launched it every time you wished to use OpenSolaris on EC2, then you are no longer able to launch OpenSolaris. Those AMIs are no longer available in the EC2 catalog.
At present, the Solaris 11 general availability release is not yet out; Solaris engineering is working hard to put fit and finish on the release bits before we go out the door. We here on the EC2 team won't be able to begin any real release work until that product exists, because we have to wait for the engineering bits and more importantly, for the licensing terms to be settled. So for the time being, we wait.
We have gotten generous feedback from many of you who have been using OpenSolaris on EC2. I can tell you that we on the EC2 team very much wish we could still provide OpenSolaris on EC2, but this is part of a fairly major product transition, and the best we can tell you right now is that we are taking your feedback seriously and making sure Solaris product management is aware of the demand for the operating system on Amazon's cloud environment.
We don't have an estimated time of arrival (ETA) yet for when we would offer Oracle Solaris 11 on EC2. We will attempt to update you via this blog about progress as soon as we hear it, and as always, we welcome comments here on the blog.
That's the news for now; if you have questions or any other feedback, please let know. We always love hearing from you.

Korea, South
Slightly larger than Indiana, South Korea lies below the 38th parallel on the Korean peninsula. It is mountainous in the east; in the west and south are many harbors on the mainland and offshore islands.
South Korea came into being after World War II, the result of a 1945 agreement reached by the Allies at the Potsdam Conference, making the 38th parallel the boundary between a northern zone of the Korean peninsula to be occupied by the USSR and southern zone to be controlled by U.S. forces. (For details, see Korea, North. )
Elections were held in the U.S. zone in 1948 for a national assembly, which adopted a republican constitution and elected Syngman Rhee as the nation's president. The new republic was proclaimed on Aug. 15 and was recognized as the legal government of Korea by the UN on Dec. 12, 1948.

Fact file: Chevrolet Orlando
Function with attitude
- Segment: MPV/family van
- In the model range since: early 2011
Chevrolet's first entrant into the European MPV/family van segment, the Orlando, was one of the star attractions at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, where the full production model made its world debut. The Orlando has been on sale across Europe since early 2011.
Based on the show car concept first seen at Paris in 2008, the Chevrolet Orlando is a true family car for the times, combining seven-seater practicality and interior flexibility with striking crossover style design.
The Orlando's vehicle architecture is based on Chevrolet's successful and award winning Cruze sedan, already proven to offer excellent ride and handling. Under the hood, there is a choice of three of Chevrolet's latest fuel efficient engines: one gasoline engine, a 1.8 liter with power output of 141 hp and two diesel units, the latest version of Chevrolet's 2.0 liter engine with outputs of 131 hp or 163 hp (high output).
Chevrolet's new compact MPV eschews the bland designs sometimes seen in the segment, and instead adopts a bolder look with its low roofline and crossover inspired silhouette, while retaining the distinctive and recognizable Chevrolet 'face' depicted by the split radiator grille and bow-tie badge.
The Orlando's low swept roof line is complemented by the muscular, protruding wheel-arches, housing 16, 17 or 18 inch wheels.
While the exterior of the new Orlando is sure to draw plenty of attention, the interior too features the latest design cues from Chevrolet such as the Corvette inspired dual cockpit and ambient blue backlighting to the center console. However, it's the theater style seating arrangement of the Orlando's three rows of seats, the generous load area and the numerous storage solutions that have captured the attention of family motorists.
In spite of the sweeping roof-line, the designers have succeeded in raising the second and third row of seats, which means Orlando's occupants get an even better view both forward and to the side. And with a wide variety of seating configurations possible, the Orlando can be quickly transformed into one of the most voluminous vans in the class when it comes to carrying loads.
Any hard working family car needs plenty of interior storage space for all the 'paraphernalia' that builds up. Like the Orlando concept car, the Orlando obliges with a range of compartments of different shapes and sizes situated in the center console, front and rear doors, rear cargo area and even the roof.
However, perhaps the most ingenious is a storage area hidden behind front faceplate of the audio, and within easy reach of the both the driver and passenger. Seen originally on the Orlando concept car, the designers have been able to integrate a usefully large area which is revealed by flipping up the face of the audio, and large enough for such items as an MP3 player, sunglasses and wallets. Within the space itself, there is also a USB port – ideal for re-charging the MP3 or iPod when on the move.
Customers may choose from three trim levels with standard equipment on all cars including electronic stability control, six air-bags, air conditioning and power-adjustable mirrors.

Valoraciones del Cliente - Estados Unidos
Used it for the first 2x over the past 2 weeks. Yardages were consistently accurate to within 2 yards, based on standing on yardage markers and comparing to Golfshot's number. Didn't take more than a few seconds to get the yardage update. Based on typical usage, where you don't need to check the phone for yardage all the time, it drains about half the battery after a full round. (I turned off wifi and bluetooth radios.) I haven't even tapped into it's other sub-features yet, and still give it 5 stars.
Had Golflogix first, then their app for iphone. Bought golfshot GPS app to compare straight across. No contest. Have not gone back to Golflogix since. Once Golfshot GPS improved their aerial imagery and you adjust your brightness, it works very well. Worth the cost of the app no doubt. Have been able to complete every round without running out of battery life.
Very nice app, once I paid attention to the instructions. Recent upgrades (starting hole finder, overhead picture improvements) made it a lot more workable. In a couple of months use, I haven't been to a course that was not included. The only downside, now, is battery consumption. Full feature use (always on, bright screen) eats a battery in about three hours. So, an extra battery is required for 18 hole play.
Like the warrior from the Trojan war, it is powerful and it slay's its competition. However, like Achilles it has a weakness....it drains the Iphone's battery faster than vampire coming off a hungar strike!
Recommend it to all my golf buddies!

Worked well in very bright sunlight here in Oklahoma. Sometimes in the aerial view, the movable target would not work. Don't know why.Thanks for a very helpful app. Even played well today.
exceptional app
This is my favorite app. Works great, distances are accurate and the only little issue is that it takes 20 seconds or so to stablize the distances.
Great app with one great flaw....it takes way to long to get correct yardage (so damn frustrating), downloaded another but it's battery life sucked big time but had yardage immediately. Golf logic, still use golfshot but DAMN fix that issue, obviously it can be done!!!!
Works well, pretty accurate compared with other GPS units!
Easy to use. Somethimes hard to see in the bright sun. Could use faster GPS access to update yardage. Especially after you bring phone back from sleep (dark screeen). I tried GolfIT and I like this better
The app is very intuitive and the maps and GPS are generally accurate. This is lacking stats for length of putt missed and holed, how badly the fairway was missed (eg "left in play" vs. "left in trouble"), length of chip, approach club to measure GIRs by club.
I really like this app. It does everthing I want in golf GPS software. On some courses it seems to not work 100%, therefore the less that five star rating.
Bought this app at the start of the season. I considered those other pricier gps units but didn't want to take a big hit in price. I gave this a shot and it does everything I wanted it for and it keeps stats! Awesome app! I works just as well as the other's and the best thing is it is cheaper and there is no annual fee. So far it has listed all the courses I have played and worked great each time I used it. Friends love it because they get a scorecard emailed to them after the round. It does use up a lot of battery just make sure you are fully charged when you start. You can't go wrong with this, get it!
What a great application for the price. The GPS signal sometimes is a little slow but for the most part, it works great.

18-holes, 41% battery left and time to go watch the Open leaders. This app is spot on!
I have been using this APP for one year. I got it as soon as I got my iphone. It is great. The price is great . The GPS is a little slow in getting yardage. (minor) You must use an auxillary battery , this preserves your phone battery and allows you to play a complete round. I will upgrade to the newest version and highly reccommend . My friends get a kick from receiving an email with their score card.
Best on market! One time fee.
Golfshot is great for tracking data like Fairways hit, GIR, and putts. Makes tracking your progress a breeze. The GPS is usually dead-on accurate, although weather can sometimes interfere. Amazing how many courses are in the database. Haven't played one yet that wasn't there.
Fantastic app. I had tried a couple of similar applications. I have a Bushnell laser range finder so I used that to judge the accuracy of the apps side by side. Golfshot was very accurate, within 2-3 yards of my laser and much easier to use. I really like the Statistics function, it allows me to track my scores and the areas of my game that need improvement. I played yesterday and hit 71% of my fairways and only 22% of GIR, so clearly I need to go to the range and work on my ironplay. Golfshot tracks this type of feedback easily
