When we booked our 2nd trip to Canada North Lodge, we had no idea that trip two could be any better than our 1st visit. We were in for a surprise! The accommodations, quality of food, service, guides and even the bus ride were just as great and pleasurable as our 1st trip, but it was the quality and quantity of fish caught that just blew our minds!

I have visited Canada North Lodge a couple of times now. Once my wife and I went to the outpost for a week. We had a great time. We spent some very quite time and great fishing together. That many days of fishing without interruption was incredible. Unfortunately, it was so quite, we missed our kids and had to leave a day early. As for the vacation time, it was unbeatable.

Take Off Those Last 10 Pounds
These tips can help you get to your goal.
By John Casey
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD
It's been a long and sometimes difficult road. You've been sensible, taking off just a pound or so per week with more exercise, careful meal planning, and calorie counting. And now, you're just a few pounds from your goal weight.
Why then, has the effort become so much harder? You're hungry more often. You're not losing weight as quickly as you've been accustomed to. Frustration mounts. It seems you've hit some kind of wall, physical and emotional, that threatens to keep you from your goal.
You're in the dreaded "last 10 pounds" zone (though in reality it may be more like 12, or 8, or 5). And it's dreaded for good reason. Many dieters find this stage of weight loss the most difficult of all -- even harder, in some cases, than the transition from weight loss to long-term weight maintenance.
"We cannot precisely say that it is the last 10 pounds," says Werner W. K. Hoeger, EdD, FACSM, director of the Human Performance Laboratory and professor of kinesiology at Boise State University in Idaho. "In general, weight loss is faster during the initial phases of a diet plan, while the last few pounds are more difficult to lose."
Power Your Way Through a Plateau
To keep focused and motivated, it may help to know what's going on inside your body, says Hoeger, author of Lifetime Physical Fitness and Wellness.
When you're dieting, you may lose weight faster at first because of an initial loss of lean body mass. When the loss of this lean component stabilizes -- because your body needs lean body mass to perform the activities of daily living -- your weight loss becomes much more gradual.
"But when a moderate diet (1,200 to 1,500 calories) is combined with exercise, a much greater amount of weight loss is in the form of fat [rather than lean muscle mass] because the body requires the lean tissue to perform the exercise program," says Hoeger.
So if you haven't been exercising, now is the time to start. If you've been working out all along, consider stepping it up a bit.
"Exercise helps you maintain lean muscle mass while you are dieting, and it helps with appetite control," says Judy Giusti, MS, RD, coordinator of the "Fit 'N Healthy" program at the Joslin Diabetes Center.
Your exercise program should include strength or resistance training as well as an aerobic component, the experts say.
A good strength-training program should include about 10 exercises that include the major muscle groups, says Hoeger, who recommends that you do three to four sets of eight to 12 repetitions to near fatigue.
And make sure you're working hard enough, Hoeger says.
"When most people strength train, they perform several sets but seldom max out during a set," he says. "They may perform 10 repetitions in a set, but could still perform another 10 because the resistance (weight) used is not high enough to cause muscle fatigue at 8 to 12 repetitions."
To make your strength-training program more time-effective, Hoeger suggests, alternate different exercises that use different muscle groups. For example, do squats to work your lower body, followed by pushups for the upper body. "In this manner, the person will not have to wait the required two to three minutes between sets for adequate muscle recovery," he says.
Maintain Your Motivation
Guisti says this is also a good time a time to make sure you're using your food diary religiously. You may find that your portion sizes have crept upward, or that you're making more high-calorie food choices as you have neared your goal.
"Keeping food records -- writing down everything that you eat -- can help to pinpoint problems and make one more aware of what is being eaten. Then any lapses can be nipped in the bud," Guisti says. "Keep in mind that no one is perfect, and everyone will have days when they eat more than they wished. Then it is important to think positively and get back on track the next day."
To stay focused on their goals,"people need to progressively add new behavioral change strategies as they go through the weight loss program," says Hoeger. So figure out what's working, and what isn't, and adjust your strategies accordingly.
"They also have to keep in mind the long term health and fitness benefits of weight loss instead of the instant gratification provided by unhealthy eating habits," Hoeger says. In other words, focus on better health, not fewer pounds and don't forget to congratulate yourself for how far you've already come.
It may also help to remember that "weight loss is not usually a straight line on a graph," says Giusti. ""People can go through periods of 'plateau-ing' or even of small weight gain. This may be a time to relook at your weight loss goals. It is important to be sure that weight loss goals are realistic and achievable."

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
The wild and dramatic cascade of ice into the ocean from Alaska's Columbia Glacier, an iconic glacier featured in the documentary "Chasing Ice" and one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, will cease around 2020, according to a study by the University of Colorado Boulder.
SEEDS and Sustainable by Design, CU's two newest Residential Academic Programs, feature an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability and innovative problem-solving.
One CU-Boulder professor's idea of how to help students learn more grew into such a successful program that it is now a model for schools throughout the nation.
Through the Colorado Learning Assistant Program, more than 1,500 learning assistant positions have been filled at CU-Boulder, helping to improve introductory courses in 10 departments and to positively impact more than 10,000 CU students each year.
In 1977, Jimmy Carter was sworn in as president, Elvis died, Virginia park ranger Roy Sullivan was hit by lightning a record seventh time and two NASA space probes destined to turn planetary science on its head launched from Florida.
Fourteen graduate students from the Engineering for Developing Communities program at CU-Boulder traveled abroad this past summer to gain field experience in community development.
The students partnered with nonprofit organizations, private companies and universities for 4- to 12-week practicum experiences in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Uganda, Nepal and China.
CU-Boulder researchers are helping develop the next generation of the Internet—a more mobile version—and the campus' Office of Information Technology is using this new technology to provide mobile wireless Internet service on campus buses.
The university recently used the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) wireless protocol to extend its wireless network to the campus buses running between the main Boulder campus and student residence halls at Williams Village, located about a mile to the east.
CU-Boulder's newest residence hall, Williams Village North, welcomed students this fall for the first time, many of whom will be learning about the building's sustainable design through two new Residential Academic Programs (RAPs) that are housed in the residence hall.
A new approach to social media called "Tweak the Tweet," conceived by CU-Boulder graduate student Kate Starbird and deployed by members of CU's Project EPIC research group and colleagues around the nation, helped Haiti relief efforts by providing standardized syntax for Twitter communications.
Through consistent use of specially placed keywords, or "hashtags," in Twitter posts to communicate critical information such as location, status, and road conditions, the "Tweak the Tweet" approach made information computationally easier to extract and collate.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?
Be in the know. Know what to do.

Reviews for French Country Casserole
Sort By :
We love this!
My husband and I really liked it, but the kids not so much. It's one I may make again in the future and freeze for lunches rather than offer as supper.
This was really delicious. I did make a few changes. I didn't use the kidney beans at all as no one in our house likes them, sticking only with one can of black beans, one can of northern beans. Secondly, I used both red wine and beef stock in 3/4 c. measurements each. I also added an additional 1/2 pound of the sausage because my family's crazy for it. I added an extra carrot too. Honesty, it was delicious and warming and the sauce was rich and flavorful. My hubby loved it!
Well if it was up to me I would have only gave it 2 stars because I did not like it at all but my husband loved it. I will not be making it again though.
I have made this recipe several times over the years. Its great for a potluck or dinner on a chilly fall or winter night served with a crusty bread. I always put in my crock pot and let cook on low, It turns out great every time.

- Net operating cash flow has increased to $3,186.00 million or 41.78% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 10.87%.
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 21.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 19.3%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.53, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further.
- METLIFE INC has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, METLIFE INC increased its bottom line by earning $5.92 versus $3.15 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 12.2% in earnings ($5.20 versus $5.92).

The Zillow Home Value Index is the median Zestimate valuation for a given geographic area on a given day. Learn more
The median home value in Spokane is $130,200. Spokane home values have gone up 1.1% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise 1.5% within the next year. The median list price per square foot in Spokane is $120, which is lower than the Spokane Metro average of $126. The median price of homes currently listed in Spokane is $148,900 while the median price of homes that sold is $150,985. The median rent price in Spokane is $795, which is lower than the Spokane Metro median of $850.
Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In Spokane 7.4 homes are foreclosed (per 10,000). This is greater than the Spokane Metro value of 6.3 and also greater than the national value of 4.3
Mortgage delinquency is the first step in the foreclosure process. This is when a homeowner fails to make a mortgage payment. The percent of delinquent mortgages in Spokane is 5.4%, which is lower than the national value of 6.9%. With U.S. home values having fallen by more than 20% nationally from their peak in 2007 until their trough in late 2011, many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages, meaning they owe more than their home is worth. The percent of Spokane homeowners underwater on their mortgage is 20.9%, which is higher than Spokane Metro at 19.5%.more

In the Globe today I broke the details of a new building for the University of Toronto's Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
Designed by NADAAA, it will update an 1875 building at One Spadina Crescent and add on a sizeable new wing that combines landscape and architecture, and is artfully composed – it'll offer 100,000 square feet of research, teaching and lab space, along with public programming and research in four pavilions around the edges, in a building that will be a dramatic example of 21st-century design in Toronto. It will house some discussion – and stir up discussion – about architecture, landscape, ecology, and big questions about city-building. The design team includes landscape architects Public Work, heritage architects ERA and Adamson & Associates.

The recent publishing of the new statistics for ASD by the CDC are certainly not surprising. I don't know about you, but I see autistic children EVERYWHERE. Of course, when you have a child in your home who lives with autism it doesn't take long to recognize the signs in other children. Dropping down to 1 in 88, and 1 in 54 should give pause to everyone, regardless if you have a child with autism or not. The growth in diagnosis is going to have a profound impact on society as a whole. I am a firm believer that resources need to be created and maximized in order to more effectively and quickly diagnosis and treat those on the spectrum as early as humanly possible. The earlier the intervention starts in life the better that child's chances are for a potential full recovery. Changing the diagnosis and "shrinking" the parameters to exclude those on the fringes of the spectrum is only going to cause a greater problem in society. The saying goes, "pay now or pay later." The problem with not providing necessary interventions to this growing sect of our population screams, "pay now or pay much, much more later." Our overburdened Medicaid system, and dare I say judicial system will receive an influx of those in the decades ahead from those children today who do not or cannot receive the help they need.
What you can do now is to educate yourself. Look at the facts and statistics. And if you know a family who is dealing with autism in the home, reach out and offer a helping hand in someway. Even just encouragement into the family living with autism makes a tremendous difference.
In advocacy,

6 Unexpected Costs of Having a Baby
The cost of having a baby, just in the first year of life, is around $11,000. But do you know the unexpected costs? Here are six to keep in mind!
Unplanned Delivery Charges
Not all births are routine, nor, unfortunately, are all babies born healthy—some require immediate medical intervention or even a
neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay.
Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of
Heading Home With Your Newborn, had a problem-free pregnancy. Her delivery, however, was not so. She needed an episiotomy, vacuum, forceps, and emergency C-section. Then, once her son was finally born, he developed jaundice and was sent home with bilirubin lights. She also had terrific insurance. "When I had my son, I paid nothing at all," she says. But not everyone is as fortunate.
Insurance Co-Pays
Kelly Johnson, a preschool teacher in Oregon, also had good coverage but she still had to pay. She doled out a $150 co-pay for routine visits to her OB-GYN during pregnancy and the
vaginal delivery of her son. And for her and her new son's 48-hour hospital stay, Johnson owed an additional $350.
Insurance benefits vary from company to company and even state to state. And hospital costs—those passed on to insurance companies before you're billed—vary widely, too. "So it's important to ask [your insurance company about its benefits] so you don't get surprised by a big bill," Dr. Shu says. She recommends expectant parents create an emergency savings fund that would include money—at least $1,000—for unforeseen hospital and newborn costs not covered by insurance.
Breastfeeding Help
For the
breastfeeding mom who needs extra help, services are available. But they'll cost you. For example, rates for International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) in the Chicago area are $150 to $200 for a home visit, says Katy Lebbing, manager of the Center for Breastfeeding Information. "When it is a critical time, such as right after birth, mothers are generally seen in their homes," she says, adding that office visits cost less. As with insurance companies, home visits by a professional for the nursing mother also vary from region to region. Lebbing says costs can range from $75 to $250.
Cost of Formula
Whether you're bottlefeeding by choice or found you can't breastfeed, you'll need to purchase baby formula. Formula costs differ depending on the brand and type (such as powder, premixed, hypoallergenic) but can be quite high. Dr. Shu says the average cost of ready-to-feed formulas is 25 cents an ounce. If your baby consumes 20 ounces a day of that kind of formula for one year, you'll pay nearly $2,000. Some specialized formulas for medical conditions can run upwards of $50 a can. To reduce the costs some, ask your pediatrician or hospital for samples. Also, you can contact the formula companies directly for coupons and other promotions.
Baby Gear
Feeding your newborn may be expensive, but feeding paraphernalia doesn't have to be. In fact, you can skip some things, such as bottle warmers and bottle coolers, Dr. Shu says. She adds that diaper-wipe warmers and even diaper pails with "odor systems" are unneeded, more costly items. "There are definitely places where you can cut out non-necessities," she says.
Today, there's no reason to pay retail price for most baby gear due to online discounters, resale shops, secondhand stores, and discount outlets. But if you're buying secondhand, be sure to keep up with safety recalls, and be cautious when buying used cribs or car seats.
Childcare Costs
Childcare can take a huge chunk out of a paycheck. Depending on the type of childcare—daycare center, in-home provider, nanny—you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 a week to over $800 for a newborn. Do your homework, talk with other parents, and find out all the options and what will work best for your situation.
Something to Think About
Clearly, your new baby doesn't need everything. He just needs a warm place to feel safe and loved, a constant supply of food, and parents well-versed in the expected—and perhaps shockingly unexpected—costs of bringing a baby into the world and caring for it.
High Gas Prices: How to Avoid Pain at the PumpOn top of work and running all those errands, you still have to cart the kids around to daycare, play dates, and extracurriculars. How can you possibly get all that done without doing serious damage to your wallet? Try these ingenious tips to stay withinview gallery

Adult Fiction FRANKLI
Summary: A chilling, mesmerizing novel that combines the best of modern forensic thrillers with the detail and drama of historical fiction. In medieval Cambridge, England, four children have been murdered. The crimes are immediately blamed on the town's Jewish community, taken as evidence that Jews sacrifice Christian children in blasphemous ceremonies. To save them from the rioting mob, the king places the Cambridge Jews under his protection and hides them in a castle fortress. King Henry I is no friend of the Jews-or anyone, really-but he is invested in their fate. Without the taxes received from Jewish merchants, his treasuries would go bankrupt. Hoping scientific investigation will exonerate the Jews, Henry calls on his cousin the King of Sicily-whose subjects include the best medical experts in Europe-and asks for his finest "master of the art of death," an early version of the medical examiner. The Italian doctor chosen for the task is a young prodigy from the University of Salerno. But her name is Adelia-the king has been sent a mistress of the art of death. Adelia and her companions-Simon, a Jew, and Mansur, a Moor-travel to England to unravel the mystery of the Cambridge murders, which turn out to be the work of a serial killer, most likely one who has been on Crusade with the king. In a backward and superstitious country like England, Adelia must conceal her true identity as a doctor in order to avoid accusations of witchcraft. Along the way, she is assisted by Sir Rowley Picot, one of the king's tax collectors, a man with a personal stake in the investigation. Rowley may be a needed friend, or the fiend for whom they are searching. As Adelia's investigation takes her into Cambridge's shadowy river paths and behind the closed doors of its churches and nunneries, the hunt intensifies and the killer prepares to strike again . .

Colin Beavan
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
For a week, Olivia Aguilar's Environmental Studies 101 class entered a world with no plastic water bottles, no paper towels, no food waste, and no carbon footprint. For one week, the class attempted to have as little impact on the environment as possible. The week-long experience draws inspiration from the book "No Impact Man"in which author Colin Beavan spends an entire year learning to carry on everyday life with little or no environmental impact.
Based on the sucess of No Impact Man, Colin Beavan has created the No Impact Experiment for others to assess and reduce their carbon footprint.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Colin Beavan's book No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process. What does it really take to live eco-effectively? For one year, Colin Beavan swore off plastic and toxins, turned off his electricity, went organic, became a bicycle nut, and tried to save the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his young daughter and his Prada-wearing wife a
"From their first baby steps (no takeout) to their giant leap (no toilet paper), the Beavans' experiment in ecological responsibility was a daunting escapade in going green . . . So fervent as to make Al Gore look like a profligate wastrel, Beavan's commitment to the cause is, nonetheless, infectiously inspiring and uproariously entertaining." —Booklist
"With thorough research, Beavan updates his blog (noimpactman.com) with convincing statistical evidence, while discovering new ways to reduce consumption and his family's environmental footprint . . . An inspiring, persuasive argument that individuals are not helpless in the battle against environmental degradation and global warming." —Kirkus Reviews
"Beavan captures his own shortcomings with candor and wit and offers surprising revelations . . . [Readers] will mull over his thought-provoking reflections and hopefully reconsider their own lifestyles." —Publishers Weekly
"Colin Beavan has the disarming and uniquely remedial ability to make you laugh while he's making you feel like a swine, and what's more, to make you not only want to, but to actually do something, about it." —Norah Vincent, author of Voluntary Madness

Need help about a choice I have to make...

Jun23-05, 11:25 AM
Hello there,
The tests for university is fast approaching, but I cannot make my mind up which way to go. Even now, I study calculus and some physics, and each time I start studying I feel awestruck, I totally adore natural sciences. But there remains a problem. Here in Turkey, being a scientist doesn't give you a comfortable life, there are no job opportunities unless you are very successful. I am sure I can be really successful, there still remains the slight chance that I will not find a job, if I study natural sciences. My plan about this is to get into math department, and then take physics with it. I believe I can do this. But for the reasons I have explained I have some questions in my mind. Those questions are related only and only to job opportunities and nothing else.
On the other hand, I can get take electrical engineering. But I really am not enthusiastic about that. I can be successful there as well, and I could take either math or physics with it. As soon as I graduate from university I can find a good job etc. But something really disturbs me. I don't know the situation for other countries, but here in Turkey you do not do electrical engineering after you graduate. You begin as a director or something like that and get higher positions in your corporation with time. That is sometihng that I really do not like about it.
Here is my problem. As I said my heart lies with natural sciences but that would bring with it the need to go to foreign country, like States. But I really would like to make some academic career.
Any help about this hard choice to make is highly appreciated...

in general people are happier doing what they love, even if it pays less.
secondly, sometimes people can combine what they love with a job that pays more. For example here in the US the medical field usually pays a little better than the academic field.
But it is possible to be an engineer and specialize say in fluid flow as applied to blood flow in the human body, and thus tap into the research money available for medical sciences.

About Earth Therapeutics
Earth Therapeutics would like to thank you for supporting them through the years. Your enthusiasm and encouragement have nurtured their growth, and they're committed more than ever to putting out the best quality natural products.
To Earth Therapeutics, "best" doesn't mean expensive. Their items are reasonably priced so that everyone can enjoy the fun, innovative, "feel good" products they have to offer. They use organic natural ingredients whenever possible. And they consistently do a "reality check" to make sure that the quest for profits does not obscure their long-term vision of promoting human and environmental well-being. Earth Therapeutics believes that ultimately, their business success must depend on how closely they adhere to the Common Good.
So in the end, they strive to make Earth Therapeutics "therapeutic" for the Earth as well as for the human beings who live on this planet. This is a simple (and some say "simple minded") philosophy.

In the meantime, Earth Therapeutics will be working hard to come out with more excellent quality products. They encourage you to let them know what you'd like to see from them in the future.

Comments about Commercial T/A All-Season:
First set had ~90K miles when I decided to replace them. Current set has just under 108K since 2010(about down to the wear bars). Maybe a bit noisy on the highway, but what would you expect from an aggressive tire. Good traction in mud/snow & good wear. A bit pricey, but I'll pop for a 3rd set. No regrets so far.
Best Uses
Comments about Commercial T/A All-Season:
Having beeen a loyal BF Goodrich Commercial T/A tire owner, I had this tire on almost everything I drive or haul. In 2005 upon purchasing my new Dodge Ram 3500, I was disappointed that BFG did NOT make this tire in my size. In 2010 when I needed tires I checked again and BFG DOES make my size tire. I jumped immediately and starting purchasing the tire in an LT235x80x17E size. I have had good performance for the last 2.5 years, but at 35K miles on the tires, I had my first belt separation. The tire still had 8/32" tread from the original 15/32". I wrote a review which has not been posted yet, stating I hope this was not a sign of things to come. Michelin contacted me to my surprise as I did not know that Michelin owns BFG. We discussed the tire and application and found that I was doing everything right to make the tires last.
Now just 1500 miles later, I had another BFG Commercial T/A (That I bought at the same time) just had the same type of belt separation on another tire. Again, no repairs to the tire, appears in good shape, and has 7/32" - 8/32" tread left. I just replaced both tires with the same replacement tire and am hoping that a bad batch may been been turned out, but not holding my breath.
A recommendation from customer service was to utilize a Michelin XTS M/S2 tire. I may try this next, but have not liked the handling of a Michelin tire on a HD truck in the past. They offered a 500 mile test drive, so I may try.
Best Uses
Comments about Commercial T/A All-Season:
I have used the BF Goodrich Commercial T/As for years. I have had them on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks as well as my gooseneck trailer. Great sidewall stability allowing the trucks to almost drive themselves. Very rugged and most of the time can go the life of the tire without a repair.
BFG did not make the size yet for my new Dodge dually so I used a competitor's tire. 7 out of 9 seperated. The first one cost me $1500 in repairs to my truck.
I now have BFG on this truck, but have just had my first failure. 3 years and 38K miles later I still have 8/32" tread. I noticed the vibration prior to the tire blowing out, so I saved my truck. I found the typical 6" long bulge for about half of the tire width. During this same trip I had 3 BFG on my trailer blow out, but I contribute this to the age of the tires and the trailer has been sitting for a few years. The tires are 7 years old, but still had 14/32" tread.
I hope this is not a sign of the future. I am replacing the seperated tire with another BFG Commercial T/A hoping this was a one time thing. Time will tell!

I think I posted this song last year, too, but it is my most favorite Good Friday song ever.
Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev'ry bitter thought,
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
Now the daylight flees;
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death;
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
May my fellow followers of Jesus have a blessed holiday weekend as we reflect on why Friday is so good and why we have the hope that we do because of what happened on Sunday. Love you ladies! :wub:

Far too often, advocates of liberty fail to make effective arguments in their writing. As Alexander McCobin discussed in a previous post, libertarians often forget that "When trying to persuade others to believe in liberty, the way we present arguments is as important as the substance of the arguments themselves." This can be especially problematic when we write articles, blogs, and class papers, that will be read by those who do not share our views.

Rated 1 out of 5�by social boy not for iPhones used it for the first time and thought it was a bit flimsy but it held my iPhone 5S . Went over a cry path and my phone fell and had the screen shuttered, needless to say it was too costly to replace my phone. I don't know about other gps gadgets but this is not for iPhones.

Rated 5 out of 5�by seymour Makes viewing sky caddie easy and is more compat. Good device to hold Sky Caddie, makes viewing the screen more convenient. Wish it was a little more sturdy, if you leave it on the cart and put the cart down the wrong way you could break it off. However, if you are careful or take it off and store it each time, no problem. January 19, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by Rozo Best ever! This is the ideal way to carry your GPS or phone if you want instead. It has a low profile and does not stick out when cart is closed. The item you carry can not fall off like on others I have tried, yet it is very easy to take off when you want. I freely rotates so you can enter scores in vertical or horizontal position which is great on many of the new GPS units as well. I love this and will never carry my unit any other way.

J.C. Penney's latest marketing gambit: Apologizing
The repentent retailer goes straight to customers and begs forgiveness for messing up.
Apologizing is rarely easy, and it's harder still for companies that have made major mistakes. But J.C. Penney (JCP) has decided its best approach to damage control, after a notoriously difficult year-and-a-half under former CEO Ron Johnson, is to come out and directly say "we're sorry" to its customers.
The retailer fired Johnson last month and rehired former CEO Myron Ullman, after Johnson's attempts to take the company in a different direction ran into a brick wall. Johnson wanted to revamp Penney's product lines, downsize staff and do away with its long-standing coupons, discounts and bargains.
But those changes backfired dramatically. They ended up alienating many of the store's long-time clientele while destroying employee morale. The company's struggles became headlines -- with revenue falling 25% in a single quarter and share prices declining around 60% in a year.
The chain also took a $1.75 billion loan from Goldman Sachs (GS) to, in the words of Penney's CFO, "give us the financial strength we need to meet our current funding requirements."
And now, as the dust appears to be settling, the company is appealing directly to consumers.
"It's no secret, recently J.C. Penney changed," says a new ad the company posted on YouTube. "Some changes you liked and some you didn't, but what matters from mistakes is what we learn," the voice-over continues. "Come back to J. C. Penney, we heard you. Now, we'd love to see you."
Some customers seem willing to forgive and forget. "It's nice to see the old logo again," says one recent comment on retailer's YouTube site. "Just bring back coupons and decent sales on Nike (NKE) apparel and I will return!"
But others are less convinced. "You know, when Domino's (DPZ) admitted they made a mistake, they gave us a reason to go back: A better product," said another YouTube commenter. "'We're listening', with zero incentives, is just an empty phrase."
Analysts say the new campaign may heal some wounds with disgruntled Penney customers, but they'll also want to know where the company is heading.
"When you are in a free fall, you sometimes need to call a time out and say, 'Wait a second. We're going to get this under control,'" Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates, told the Associated Press. "The answer may be further down the road as to why they come back."
I stopped shopping at JCP which was my favorite store when they stopped the sales/coupons and good quality clothing at reasonable prices. The quality of clothing went out the window with the no sale approach... I hope they go back to the old ways.
Will definitely go back if the old JCP reemerges!
JC Penney needs to go back to having their employees dress like employees and not someone off the street. The men use to wear dress shirts and ties and the girls wore dress clothes as well. Now they were jeans and you can't tell who works there until they come up to you and harass you to apply for one of their credit cards.
I think they should just have a "credit station" where people that want to apply for a credit card can. I HATE when I am checking out and the associate asks if I have a credit card from their store and when I say no, they then as if I want one.
That little niche isn't being filled and JCP could fill it. They're almost there - their selections (at least on the men's side) are similar to what Filene's had. But they need to beef up their inventory (I can almost NEVER find an item I like available in my size online). And the stores need a makeover.
At least they slashed his pay before they giving him the boot. It's time that all CEO compensation be based on performance, especially if they expect to make 1795 times more than the average worker at their company (former J.C. Penney CEO Ron Johnson received a total compensation package 1,795 times that of former fashion jewelry saleswoman Rebecca Gonzales in 2011.)
Give the company credit for listening to it's customers and reversing previous strategy. Some of the well known brands are returning (i.e. Saint John's Bay). The home departments are being remodeled and other areas of the store now contain brand shops. It will be interesting to see if the remodeling efforts continue under Mike Ullman's tenure.
For those that are complaining about prices rising to support a coupon/sale marketing strategy, I cannot understand any argument you might possibly possess. The previous strategy entailed having low prices all the time but no coupons or sales. Unfortunately, marketing efforts did not communicate this very well.
If you want the company to act as other retailers, you must expect retail prices to rise to support various coupon or sales campaigns. If you think any other retailer does not have inflated prices to support similar marketing, you must be kidding yourself. A sale or a coupon is never an amazing deal; it's allowing consumers to bring prices closer to true retail value. Granted, this strategy works incredibly well and it's a good thing for J. C. Penney to return to this style of offering. After all, every competitor offers similar strategies.
Hopefully, the company will continue to bring back popular brands and support sale and coupon marketing strategies. Either way, you can please all of the people some of the time and some people all of the time. Give the company a chance and help save 1000s of jobs. It's in your best interests for J. C. Penney to succeed.
