- Is Your Need for Approval Holding You Back from Sales Success?
How many times have you left a sales meeting and thought, "I should have said that..."?
Or, during a meeting, as you listened to what a prospect was saying, you thought, "That's not right; he will be making a big mistake if he goes down that path," but you never voiced your opinion?
Or, perhaps even more dramatic, you got the sense, "This guy is holding something back. I need to get to the bottom of this." But, again, you said nothing?
In all of these examples, what usually keeps you from saying the things you want to (and should) say is a strong need for approval from your prospects. You want to be liked, and in some cases loved, more than you want to close the deal. Research1 that includes more than 500,000 sellers estimates that 47% of sales people have a need for approval to the extent that it can limit their ability to ask tough questions, disagree when appropriate, and advocate for a point of view that may be disruptive to the status quo.[click to continue...]

- Should Buyers Take You Seriously?
What do James Franco, Daniel Craig, and Mo'Nique all have in common? They're described as actors who bring gravitas to their roles on the big and small screens.* Another is Sir Patrick Stewart, who embodied gravitas as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Picard had power and authority. He commanded respect. When he spoke, the Enterprise—and everyone else in the universe—listened.
Gravitas is rooted in Latin, meaning heavy, serious, having gravity. In the sales world, gravitas means you're someone to be taken seriously.
When buyers take you seriously, they're more apt to take your advice and buy into your ideas. That's why gravitas is a key quality of an insight seller.
Got Gravitas? What It Means for Winning Sales
Insight sellers possess 12 key attributes needed to succeed in sales. We've divided them into tendencies that drive behavior and qualities that guide those actions. Gravitas is one of five qualities found in sellers who consistently win sales. So what does gravitas look like?[click to continue...]

- Do You Have What It Takes to Become an Insight Seller?
There's a revolution underway in sales. What used to work, even just a few years ago, is no longer enough to win major sales today.
As a result, a new breed of seller, who's beating out the competition and winning the sale, has emerged: the insight seller.
Insight sellers share new ideas and perspectives with their buyers, and they collaborate with buyers to develop the best solutions. They don't just sell the value of their products and services, they become the value.
To succeed as an insight seller, we've identified 12 key attributes, which we divide into tendencies and qualities that drive their success. They're divided like the image to the left.
Insight sellers share 7 tendencies—these are the predispositions that drive how people choose to spend their time:

- Neil Rackham's Foreword from Insight Selling
Perhaps the most respected voice of all time in sales is SPIN Selling author Neil Rackham. John and I were honored to have him write the foreword for Insight Selling. It's a great commentary on the state of and changes occurring in the world of modern sales. We hope you find it as insightful as we did. Without further ado...
A mixed blessing of my job is that I get to review a lot of sales books. Roughly once a week I receive a manuscript from a hopeful author or publisher, asking me for comments and feedback. Of course, what they are really asking for is a rave review that will help the book sell.
Reading all these expectant winners, looking for good things to say, can be a challenging task. I'm often tempted to reply with the comment often, but wrongly, attributed to Samuel Johnson: "Your work is both good and original. Unfortunately the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good."
On the plus side, it does mean that I see a lot of ideas before they become public and I get a good sense of current trends in sales thinking. On the downside, for every book that I can honestly endorse, I kiss a whole pondfull of literary frogs...[click to continue...]

- 5 Ways to Make It Easy to Buy from You
A couple of years ago, I was involved in a major rebranding effort for a Fortune 100 financial services firm. Based on extensive research, their chief marketing officer decided their new brand positioning should be focused on "easier."
Easier to do business with. Easier to conduct banking transactions. Easier to get a mortgage, car loan, or business investment from.
Sounds great, right? Problem is they weren't easy to do business with.
I knew, because I happened to be a client of the firm. When I walked in to do a simple thing like get a new debit card, I was told the process could take up to three weeks—and I'd have to give them my old card first, meaning I'd have to spend three weeks without any access to my accounts.
Unfortunately, this situation isn't all that uncommon in business. Many firms I know make their customers—existing and new—jump through endless hoops to do business with them. Just think about your average bank. Insurance firm. Car dealership. Phone company. Utility provider...[click to continue...]

Sans soucis a sud de la France - day 3
... slowly. Last night was very warm and no air-con. The surrounding villages and sights.are full of tourists this week, but it will be quieter next week when school resumes, and hopefully a little cooler.
Andrew has just visited the bakery and returned with croissant and baguettes for our breafkast - so hard to resist.
Au revoir,
Tori and Andrew.
It's time to make my way from Nice back up towards Paris and stop number one is Avignon. Avignon is a little town in France and is built with a fortress wall all the way around the town. I stayed at the POP hostel which hands down has the best hostel bed in Europe. Unfortunately I do not have a picture but hopefully my description will do it ...
Week 24. Ibiza - France
... we didn't go through the airport looking like zombies going to christening. We'd enjoyed Ibiza but it was a strange feeling, we felt like we should be going back to Chesterfield and begrudgingly returning to work on Monday, but we still had another three months of fun to be had yet, yeeeaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

Tue, Jul. 14, 10:57 AM
- ArcelorMittal (MT -1.7%) says it likely will idle the long steel mills it recently installed in its João Monlevade plant in Brazil, citing excess capacity in the sector and stagnating demand.
- The comments from MT's South American head of long steel echo those of the company's chief executive in Brazil, who warned yesterday that the outlook for demand in Brazil's domestic steel market remains gloomy.
- Also: GGB -5.7%, VALE -3.3%, TX -0.7%.
Tue, Jul. 14, 10:31 AM
- Vale (VALE -3.5%) gives back part of yesterday's big gains sparked by news that it would withdraw 25M metric tons of annual production starting this month.
- Vale's "cut" was not really a cut, as it is merely adjusting its operations to shift production from higher-cost tons to more profitable output; it maintained its 2015 production guidance at 340M tons as well as its longer-term target of producing 450M tons by 2018.
- Morgan Stanley says Vale's move will not reduce supply and will not lead to higher iron ore prices in the short term, and could even have the opposite effect.
- Citigroup says any move would need to result in reduced supply to have a prolonged influence on physical markets and prices, adding that BHP Billiton (BHP -1%) and Rio Tinto (RIO -0.8%) are unlikely to follow Vale's move.
Mon, Jul. 13, 2:15 PM
- Vale (VALE +6.9%) and other iron ore peers are rallying after reports that Vale plans to cut iron ore production in an attempt to boost profit.
- Peter Poppinga, Vale's executive director for ferrous and strategy, told an industry conference in Sao Paulo today the company would lower iron ore output by 25M metric tons starting this month, with the cuts coming from lower quality products at its mines in south and southeast Brazil and from third-party purchases.
- "Our mantra is not volume at any cost anymore, it's to maximize margins," Poppinga said. "It doesn't mean shutting mines, it means optimizing some production flows at plants."
- Poppinga also said prices for iron ore, which have been cut almost in half in the past year, are poised to rebound as China shuts mines and replenishes inventories.
- Also: RIO +3.9%, BHP +2.9%, SID +8.4%, CLF +7.2%, X +4.7%, AKS +7.4%, MT +2.4%, NUE +2%, STLD +2.3%.
Wed, Jul. 8, 8:42 AM
- Iron ore prices plunge to their lowest levels in at least six years, sparked by fears that the rout in China's stock market could hurt demand while the biggest producers continue to raise output.
- Ore delivered to Qingdao sank 10% to $44.59/metric ton overnight, the lowest price dating back to May 2009.
- Iron ore's 10-day drop started with figures that showed holdings at ports in China rebounded last week while exports from Australia's Port Hedland climbed to an all-time high., and the slump deepened as China's stock rout worsened.
- BHP -3%, RIO -4.2%, VALE -3.2%, CLF -4.8% premarket.
Tue, Jul. 7, 11:59 AM
- Vale (VALE -4.2%) shares extend their three-day slide and touches their lowest levels in 10 years, as iron ore drops below $50/metric ton for the first time since April on concern low-cost supplies from producers including Brazil will expand further while demand falls in China.
- Iron ore prices are lower by 5.1% to $49.60, according to a price index compiled by Metal Bulletin, down more than 20% from a June high and capping a nine-day losing streak, the longest losing streak since last August.
- Bloomberg reports that inventories at Chinese ports rose 2.8% last week to 81.55M tons; as trade seems to pick up, analysts say iron ore prices could slump to $40.
- Earlier: China's stock turmoil whacks Freeport McMoRan, copper producers
Tue, Jul. 7, 10:23 AM
- Freeport McMoRan (FCX -7.3%) is the S&P 500's worst performer in early trading as copper prices retreat to five-month lows.
- Other global miners of copper, iron ore and other metals also are posting sharp losses: VALE -6.1%, BHP -3.8%, RIO -3.9%, SCCO -4.4%, TCK -6.4%.
- China's stock market swoon is magnifying investor fears about weaker demand from one of the world's largest consumers of raw materials.
- Overnight, the S&P, Goldman Sachs and the Bloomberg commodity indexes fell the most since November, and analysts say the worst is yet to come.
- "China's demand stumble comes at an awkward time, just when more and more supply of raw materials is coming on stream in many sectors. No quick fix in sight," says HSBC co-head of Asian economic research Frederic Neumann.
- ETFs: JJC, CPER, CUPM
Fri, Jul. 3, 2:11 PM
- China says it will allow 400K deadweight ton ships to dock at its ports, officially ending a three-year ban that had effectively shut out Vale's (NYSE:VALE) giant vessels.
- The Valexmax mega-ships, which were designed to cut the costs of transporting iron ore to China, were banned by the government in early 2012 on safety concerns.
- The ability of Valemaxes to take cargoes directly to China and cut costs by $4-$6/metric ton, comes as iron ore prices struggle near their lowest level since 2009 due to a global supply glut.
Thu, Jul. 2, 3:49 PM
- Iron ore prices fell more than 5%, suffering the largest one-day percentage loss since March and falling ~15% since hitting a multi-month high of $65.61/metric ton on June 11.
- Analysts believe a prolonged wet season in the Pilbara region of Western Australia affected output, in particular at mines owned by Rio Tinto (RIO +0.6%), the world's no. 2 producer of iron ore.
- Traders also noted shipments from Australia and Brazil, another major supplier, have started to increase as the weather improved, and a further decline in Shanghai Rebar futures.
- ANZ says iron ore is likely to fetch $53/metric ton in coming months, while Goldman Sachs is even more bearish, believing iron ore will average $49 in Q3.
- Also: BHP +2%, VALE +1.3%.
Wed, Jul. 1, 6:44 PM
- It's time to add to short positions in high-cost iron ore producers Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE:CLF) and Fortescue Metals (OTCPK:FSUMF), Wolfe Research's Gordon Johnson says.
- Iron ore prices are "extremely likely" to go below $47, Johnson believes, noting that when prices touched $47 earlier this year, "no one flinched - no capacity was taken permanently offline, while virtually all planned capacity ramps moved forward."
- With ~52M metric tons of oversupply in 2014, an estimated 107.7M metric tons of incremental supply expected from the big four iron ore producers - RIO, BHP, VALE and Fortescue - and the likelihood that Chinese crude steel production will fall for the first time this year since the 1980s, Johnson estimates that 52M metric tons of excess will grow to ~183M in 2015.
Tue, Jun. 30, 9:48 AM
- Australia's government cuts its price forecast for iron ore in 2015 by 10% to US$54.40/metric ton, a steep drop from the US$60.40 predicted three months ago and $94 forecast in January; for 2016, expectations call for iron ore at US$52.10 from a previous outlook for US$56.80.
- The government estimates the country's YTD earnings from exports of iron ore and other raw materials to China, Japan and elsewhere fell 11% to A$174B; three months ago, it predicted an 8% drop in exports to A$179B.
- The downside guidance is based on a weak outlook for China's steel sector, as production is expected to contract this year and next, while China's residential construction would remain stagnant;
- Outside analysts also blame over-estimates of China's appetite for imported ore by Rio Tinto (RIO -0.4%) and BHP Billiton (BHP -1.1%), as well as Brazil's Vale (VALE -2.1%), which continue to expand production.
Thu, Jun. 25, 3:57 PM
- Brazil's financial markets were routed today after a news report that former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva could be arrested as part of the sweeping corruption scandal involving Petrobras (PBR -4.7%).
- Investors were spooked by a report that a habeas corpus legal filing had been made on behalf of Lula to protect him from unlawful arrest in the corruption investigation; spokespersons later said the proceeding had not been filed by the ex-president or his representatives and that they had no prior knowledge of it.
- Also, Brazil's non-seasonally adjusted jobless rate rose in May to 6.7%, the highest since 2010, from 6.4% in April, reinforcing worries that the country is on the verge of a recession.
- Also: PBR.A -5%, VALE -3.6%, EBR -4.5%, ELP -2.5%, CIG -4.6%, CPL -2.6%, SBS -2%, BSBR -2.5%, BBD -1.1%, ITUB -2.7%.
- ETFs: EWZ, BRF, BRZU, EWZS, BRXX, BRAQ, BZQ, BRAZ, BRAF, UBR, DBBR, FBZ
Wed, Jun. 24, 11:48 AM
- Vale (VALE +0.2%) says it is considering selling 25%-30% of its base metals business in an IPO but will proceed only if nickel and copper prices are at "appropriate" levels.
- Vale, whose iron ore business has been hurt by a 50% price collapse since late 2013, forecasts increased profit and output from the base metals business, which is based on a 2006 takeover of Inco, after years of setbacks.
- Vale also says it expects to invest $8B-$9B in 2015, an apparent reduction from a presentation published earlier this month when it said it expected to invest $9B as well as a $10.2B forecast given in December.
Wed, Jun. 10, 12:36 PM
- Vale (VALE +5.8%) says it is planning to cut capital spending over the next three years, now expecting to invest a total of $9B this year and $7B next year after spending $12B in its operations in 2014.
- Vale projects a continuing downward trajectory for its capex to $5B in 2017 and $4B in 2018.
- Vale also says it expects to raise $6B-$7B via the sale of certain assets that are not part of its core business.
- Earlier: Vale +6% on upbeat outlook for China iron ore demand, supply
Wed, Jun. 10, 10:11 AM
- Vale (VALE +6%) shoots higher as CEO Murilo Ferreira predicts a pickup in Chinese demand for iron ore with supplies set to tighten in H2 2015.
- Chinese iron ore imports will rise with domestic production down by ~200M metric tons after prices tumbled 60% from a 2013 peak, the CEO says, adding that "several Chinese producers - a higher number than people realize - have already left the business."
- Ferreira expects the global seaborne market for the key ingredient in steel production to grow 3.6% to 1.44B tons this year, adding that production elsewhere also is receding due to higher output costs.
- Also: BHP +3.5%, RIO +3.8%, SID +2.8%, CLF +4.7%.
Wed, Jun. 3, 7:45 AM
- BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) -2.3% premarket after CEO Andrew Mackenzie issued a warning that oversupply will keep global metals prices lower for much longer.
- "In many markets, recently installed low-cost supply can now be stretched to meet growing demand. Incremental supply, induced during periods of higher prices, will take longer to absorb and this means over-supply may persist for some time," the CEO said.
- Mackenzie continues to reject calls for limits on iron ore production in response to lower prices, saying "It is unproductive for Australia to cut or stall low-cost and profitable supply when the cycle drops. It destroys value, penalizes shareholders, customers and employees and disrupts the power of open markets."
- UBS recently estimated that the largest iron ore producers will see global supply expand to 215M tons by 2018 from 45M tons this year.
- On watch: RIO, VALE
Thu, May 28, 9:19 AM
- The price of iron ore has climbed to its highest level in nearly three months despite consistent downbeat coverage from analysts and a rising U.S. dollar, which typically dampens demand for commodities.
- Iron ore stockpiles in China have been declining as steelmakers build up their stores of the material, resulting in limited availability for some types of ore, analysts say; inventories at China's port facilities have dropped to ~85M tons from 86.6M a week earlier and ~100M tons at the start of 2015.
- Iron ore prices have lifted from a decade-low below US$47/ton last month but are still down nearly 40% Y/Y, and analysts lately have turned sour on the commodity's outlook; Citigroup this week cut its long-run iron ore price forecast by a third to US$55/ton and said it expects prices to average closer to $40 during 2016-18.
- BHP -1.5%, RIO -1.3%, VALE -1.5% premarket.

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I joined the CPI team. It's been an incredible couple of years for me, as I've experienced all of CPI's training programs, met with our Certified Instructors and their organizations, and gained a sense of the awesome work that all of you do on behalf of children, coworkers, and vulnerable adults and seniors.
I have no specific accomplishment to focus on—rather, I want to emphasize the value of the daily accomplishments of our CPI ecosystem, from rolling out new training programs and products to answering calls to our offices, and seeing how our customers apply their CPI training into their work lives.
I believe the next few years will hold even more promise, growth, and commitment to creating safe, secure, and caring environments. Our promise is to continue to address the issues you face on a daily basis, wherever they occur, and to team with you to manage them.
I look forward to seeing all of you in person at our CPI International Instructors' Conference from July 18–22 in Orlando!

This invention relates to golf carts, thatis, to golf club carrying vehicles for use primarily on olf courses to relieve the player or his caddy of the tiring exertion required to carry the weight of a set of golf clubs.
The main objects of the invention are to provide a golf cart which may be readily adapted to carry various types of golf clubs or caddy bags; to provide an improved bag construction, especially adapted to use as a part of a golf cart although not restricted thereto, whereby the golf clubs may easily and quickly be inserted and removed and whereby the clubs may conveniently be carried in relatively independent pockets so as to be thereby maintained out of contact with each other; to provide an improved bag structure wherein the clubs may be carried head down or shaft and grip up so as to be readily and conveniently accessible in playing position; to provide an improved bag which will effectively hold the club in the desired upright position without objectionable shifting; and in general it is the object of the invention to provide an improved golf club cart and bag of the character indicated.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be understood by references to the following specification and accompanying drawings (3 sheets) wherein there is disclosed a selected embodiment of the improved structure.
In the drawings:
Figs. 1 and 2 are perspectives illustrating the improved structure, a cover member being lllustrated as applied to the normally exposed portions of the clubs in Fig. 2;
Fig. 3 is a. vertical cross section on a plane represented by the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective illustration of the upper end portion of the golf club receiving bag in an inclined position;
Fig. 6 is a perspective similar to Fig. 1 but showing a modified arrangement in which the cart is. adapted for carrying a different type of cart therein illustrated comprises a shallow traylike base III, preferably made of metal. The tray is provided near one side edge with upstanding rods II, having laterally outwardly offset end por-- 7 Claims. (01. 280-51) tions constituting axles for suitable wheels I2. The rods II may be welded or otherwise rigidly secured to the ends of the tray I0, and if desired,
braces such as indicated at I3 may be provided between the upper portions of the rods II and frame members I4 which are extended upwardly from the opposite ends of the tray.
The frame members or arms I4 may be in the form of metal tubes, or of any other sufficiently rigid form, and are welded or otherwise secured at their lower ends to the sides of the tray I0 approximately midway of the width of the tray. A U-shaped handle member I5 comprising side legs I 6-H; and a cross arm portion H has the free ends of its legs Iii-I6 detachably connected to the upper ends of the frame members I l-44. The detachable connection between the ends of the handle member I5 and the upper ends of the frame members I4 may be of any suitable form, one arrangement being illustrated in Fig. '7. As shown in Fig. 7 the lower ends of the handle member sides I6 are each provided with a rod element l8 welded or otherwise secured to the handle; and having a portion I9 projecting beyond the end of each handle side IS. The projecting portions of the rods I8 fit telescopically into the upper end portions of the frame members I4. Suitable detachable fastenings 20'may be employed for holding the handle structure in assembled relation to the frame members.
A bag 21 is seated in the tray I0 and secured in place by means such as straps 22-22 (Fig. 1)
In addition to the sidewalls 2424, the bag 2I comprises an opposite pair of walls 25 and 26, and partitions 21 and 28. The various side walls and partitions are stitched together or otherwise suitably united and they may be made of material such as canvas, leather, or other, I
preferably soft and flexible, material. The bottom portion of the bag may include metal or other reinforcing bottom and lower marginal elements 29 and 38 respectivelyv (Fig. 3). As shown, the bag is preferably of two ply construction and the reinforcing elements are interposed between the inner and outer plies of the structure. The partition 21 'which'extends from one side wall 7 may, if desired, have suitable reinforcements incorporated therein.
The sides 24-24 of the bag are of somewhat tapered form as shown in Fig. 3. At their lower ends they are of such width that the pockets Y formed on opposite sides of the main partition 21 are of a front to back dimension, that is of a dimension from the outer wall 25 or 26 to the main partition 21, which approximates the toe to heel dimension of a golf club when placed in the bag with its shaft approximately aligned with the length of the bag. This relation is indicated in Fig, 3. The sides 24 taper upwardly to slightly reduce the front to back dimension of the pockets and the upper portions of the sides are sharply narrowed to provide restricted entrance openings 32 to the respective pockets.
The entrance openings are restrictedto such an extent that the front to rear dimensions thereof approximate the top to bottom dimension of a golf club head.
The two series of pockets thus formed on opposite sides of the partition 3i have their outer or front walls spaced from their respective back walls (the partition 21), a distance which at the bottoms of the pockets will accommodate the club heads in the inclined position represented in the drawing (Fig. 3), and said front to rear dimension may be tapered sli htly upwardly as shown. At the upper ends of the pockets, the outer or front walls thereof are so formed that they have downwardly converging, neck, and downwardly diverging shoulder portions. The said shoulder portion serves to increase the front to rear dimension of the neck portion to permit downward movement of the club when the shaft is rocked toward its upright position in parallelism with the depth or length of the pockets. The downwardly converging upper end portion provides a flared mouth. which facilitates insertion of the clubs and constitutes an important convenience. As shown, the combined vertical dimension of said converging, neck andshoulder portions comprises a minor portion of the whole depth of the pocket.
The width of each pocket, that is to say the dimension of the pocket between adjacent transverse partitions and between the outermost partitions 28 and the respectively adjacent side walls 24, approximates the normal transverse di- *mension of the golf club head which the pocket- -is designed to receive.
The partitions 28 are in substantially parallel relationship to each other and to the side walls 24 so that they do not vary in their breadth.
The depth or length of the bag is subject to considerable variation but I have found that a bag which is in the neighborhood of i8 inches in length, is very satisfactory.
A golf club may easily and quickly be inserted in the proper pocket of the bag, head first in the manner indicated in Fig. 3. As there shown, a golf club 33 is illustrated in its initial position for insertion into the pocket of the bag. As there shown, the head 34 of the club is passed endwise, toe first, through the restricted mouth or entrance tothe pocket. when the head of the club is inserted to the extent that-the lower endvof the shaft 35' engages the upper end of the-bag,
or shortly prior thereto, the club may be swung upwardly so as to align the length of its shaft 3| with the length of the pocket whereupon the club will freely descend in its pocket and come to rest with the club head in the bottom of the bag as shown.
The entrance openings are preferably made so as to fairly snugly fit the club head in its passage through the mouth portion of the bag so that only a, very limited shifting of the shaft in the mouth portion of the bag will be possible when the club is fully inserted therein. Because of the position of the club in thebag, its weight normally tends to cause the shaft of the club to rest against the main partition 21 as illustrated. Removal of a club from the bag is, of course, accomplished by reverse movement of the club. This arrangement permits the player to initially grasp the handle or grip portion of the desired club so that he immediately has the club in approximately playing position. Similarly, when the player is through with his stroke or shot, it is a most simple and convenient matter to reinsert the club into the bag.
The bottom of the bag may, if desired, be lined with any desired soft, cushioning material which will protect the club head against scratching.
While the player is making his stroke or awaiting his turn, the cart will normally be disposed in an upright position as shown in Fig. 3 wherein it rests at one side on the wheels i2 and, near its opposite side, directly on the ground as indicated at 40. During movement along the course, the cart will normally be tilted about the axles of the wheels i2 and drawn behind the player or his caddy through the agency of the handle part II. The upper end portion of the bag in such inclined or travelling position, is illustrated in Fig. 5.
When the bag is in the inclined position in which it is normally propelled, the club shafts will, of course, tend to rest on the then lowermost portions of their respective pocket walls. To relieve the pockets of excessive strain incident to the weight of the club shafts and to assist in supporting. the clubs from the frame arms it, there is provided a strap H, which may be an endless fabric strap or any other suitable band structure. The band 4! has one reach extended across and secured to the upper portion of the bag wall 25, from whence it extends around the outside of each of the frame arms i4 and across the space between the said frame arms 14. The reach 42 of the band thus approximately coincides or registers with main partition 21 and cooperates therewith to support the clubs in the uppermost set of club pockets when the bag is in tilted position. The strap is freely slidable around the frame arms i4 so that the weight of the clubs in the uppermost set of pockets tends to force the reach 42 of the strap downwardly thereby pulling up on the reach 43 of the strap which is secured to the upper marginal portion of the lowermost wall of the bag. Thus, the weight of the upper clubs tends to counterbalance the weight of the lowermost group of clubs. This counterbalancing arrangement assists in preventing excessive sagging of the upper portion of the bag and relieves the fastenings, by which the bag is secured to the arms l4, of heavy strain. The described strap arrangement also tends to maintain the clubs more nearly in their normally aligned relation to the frame arms i4.. The's'trap 7 4| may be made of sufficiently stout material so 1 that its repiacement'should not be necessary but replacement may, of course,be easily made should it be required.
Suitable pockets such as indicated at 44 and 45 may be provided on the opposite faces of the bag for holding various accessories and equipment such as is carried by golf players.
The handle |5,preferably, has its upper end portion angularly oflset, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, so as to avoid interference with the upper ends of the club shafts and to facilitate indicated at 31 to permit the lower marginal portion of .the hood to be fastened around the upstanding frame members or arms It by means such as a strap and buck1e, snap or slide fasteners or simple tie cords as indicated at 38. If desired, the hood 36 may be provided on its opposite faces with a slide fastener orotherwise suitably closable slit 39 extending betweenpoints closely adjacent the upper and lower ends of the hood. When the hood is provided with suchslits, it may be permitted to remain in place and the slits opened to permit withdrawal and reinsertion of the clubs in rainy weather, thereby assisting materially to keep the grip portions of the clubs dry.
The cart structure disclosed in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, may be employed for supporting and propelling the conventional caddy bag which is approximately twice the length of the improved bag above described. When a conventional ba is to be carried, the improved bag structure is removed from the tray and the conventional bag seated therein between the upstanding arms l4 .to which the bag may be strapped.
To further facilitate the employment of the cart structure for supporting the conventional caddy bag, there may be provided an auxiliary or supplementary handle structure 46- (Fig. 6) which is interchangeable with the handle structure I5.
The auxiliary or replacement handle structure 46, like the handle structure I5 is equipped with suitable pins 41, portions of which are insertable in the hollow upper ends of the side frame arms Id of the main cart structure. Detachable fastenings such as already referred to may be employed for securing the auxiliary handle structure to the arms l4-l4.
The auxiliary handle structure 46 has short free end portions 48 of its side arms arranged to extend in longitudinal alignment with the arms l4-l4 and the major portions of the side arms of the handle structure 46 are angularly offset as clearly shown in Fig. 6. The angularly offset portions 49 are considerably longer than the angularly offset handle portions of the first described handle structure I5 so that the cart may conveniently be propelled at an even more upright position'than is the case with the handle structure shown in Figs. 1 to 3. Such more nearly upright positioning of the cart is particularly desirable when a conventional caddy bag (represented in broken lines at 50 in Fig. 6) is carried, since the clubs are less securely retained in this type of bag. Also, the center of gravity of the top-heavy conventional bag of clubs is placed more nearly in vertical alignment with the wheel axles whereby ease of handling is at- 6 tained. The portions 46-48 of the auxiliary handle structure may be interconnected by means of a suitably bowed metal strap member 5| which may be riveted or otherwise permanently secured to the portions 46. Such bowed strap will constitute a support for the bag 50 and a suitable strap extending from one of the handle portions 48 to the other around the bag in an opposed relation to the strap 5| may be employed to securely hold the bag against the supporting member 5|.
The interchangeable handle arrangement just described is highly advantageous to the manufacturer of golf carts, to golf course operators and to golf players. The manufacturer i required to produce only one type of main cart structure and to supply either or both of the two forms of handles described. This adaptability of the main cart structure greatly facilitates production since the main body of the structure may be standardized for the required volume production. The two types of handle structure are each of such simple form that they present no problem of production or interchangeability. Similar advandimension. As already indicated, the bag may conveniently be of two-ply canvas or other flexible material suitably reenforced or stiffened. One suitable form of construction is more or less diagrammatically illustrated in Figs. 8, 9, and 10.
Asindicated best at Fig. 8, the opposed side walls 25 and '26 and the main partition 21 are formed of strips of selected fabric folded upon themselves as indicated at 55, the folds 55 forming the upper ends of the respective walls and partitions.
The pockets 44 and 45 are stitched as indicated at 56 to the outermost pint or fold of the respective walls 26 and 25. The partition members or dividers 28, either of single or double ply construction are stitched along their outer edges to the respective walls 25 and 26. The stitching, which unites the partitions 28 to the outer walls 25 and 26, extends through edge portions of the partitions and through only the inner ply of the side walls 25 and 26 in the areas thereof which are covered bythe pockets 44,.and 45. Above and below the respective pockets, the stitching preferably extends through both piles of the respective outer side walls, as shown at 51 and 59. However, it will be apparent that, if preferred, the stitching whichunites the outer edges of the partitions 28" to the respectively adjacent outer walls may extend through only the inner piles of said side walls throughout their vertical dimensions.
The inner edges of the transverse partition 28 are secured to the respectively adjacent plies of the two-ply main partition 21 by stitching indicated at 66 and 6|.
The lower marginal reenforcements 30 are preferably enclosed in retaining pockets formed in the respective side walls and a preferred arrangement for housing such reenforcements is shown in Fig. 10. As there shown, the two-ply side wall asaasss 88. To the outer ply 83 there is secured at 84 a horizontally extending fabric strip 85. The strip 85 cooperates with the lower marginal portion of the outer ply 83 to form a pocket for receiving the reenforcement l8. strip 65 may also be secured as indicated at 88 to the outer ply 83. Said lower edge may be additionally or solely secured to the outer ply 88 by means of stitching 81 which also serves to unite the edge of bottom fabrics 88 to the lower edges of the outer side walls. The stitching l1 preferably extends through both plies of the bottom and side walls. It will, of course, be understood that a pocket formation such as just described for housing the lower marginal reenforcement 80 will be formed on each of the four side walls in a similar manner. The reenforcement may be inserted into the pocket through the open lower edge oi the pocket Just before applying the stitching 61 if such stitching is .relied upon to the exclusion of the stitching $6 for closing the bottom of the bag. However, if the stitching 88 is employed, the reenforcement 80 may be inserted endwise into the pocket after the strip 85 is attached at both its top and bottom edges to the wall ply 68.
In the procedure of assembling and forming the bag, it has been found practicable .to first attach the; pockets 44 and 45 to the outer piles of the walls 28 and 25, respectively, then to attach the outer edges of the partitions 28 to atleast the inner plies of the respective outer walls if not to both piles of the respective walls in the portions of those walls which are not covered by the pockets 44 and 45 or the reinforcements 20. It will be advantageously secured to the respectively ad- Jacent plies of the main partition 21. It will be seen that the partition 28a may have its inner edge stitched to the a jacent ply of the partition 21, then the inner edge of the partition 28b and so on, all of the partitions 28 on one side of the main partition 21 being-successively joined to the adjacent ply of the main partition 21. In a similar manner the transverse partitions 28 on the The lower edge of the '8 g structicn may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the following'claims which are directed to the principal features of the improved structure rather than to the readily changeabl details of construction.
Iclaim: v 1. A golf club cart comprising a wheel supported base and a handle extending upwardly other side of the main partition 21 are progressively secured to the adjacent ply of the main partition 21.

best cafe/coffee shop in ChrlottetownPosted on 06 / 14 / 2014
Great local coffee shop with excellent coffee and delicious food. Not a lot of vegan options, but their veggie [vegan] burger is fantastic, and one of the chefs makes amazing vegan treats on occasion. I frequent here almost daily and it is one of my very favorite places to come in Charlottetown.
Cons: limited vegan options

Brief Synopsis
Ms. Pascale Combelles-Siegel examines the difficult road traveled by the press and the military since Operation URGENT FURY in 1983. She focuses on the development of the 1992 Joint Doctrine for Public Affairs as a practical tool for reducing tension and providing press access to the battlefield. Her analysis reflects the duality of the relationship and the efforts of both communities to find a modus vivendi.

Voiced by: Lucy LawlessMother (now deceased) of Amazoness Swordswoman and Phillipe's Light of Victory predecessor. Once possessing the LoV of speed, Sage was the fastest member of the previous village. She was condemned to punishment when she broke the law of mating with a man without consent with the queen. Her mate, Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman, was killed before Sage, invoking her fury and the inner darkness of the LoV - turning her into the fearsome 'Black Panther'. After killing all the villagers (except the children, who will grow up to become the current Amazon Duel Monster generation), she sealed the LoVs and gave birth to Swordswoman, who will grow up later to become future queen. Sage passes away due to illness.

Gravekeeper's Assailant/Yasmin
Voiced by: Lisa OrtizYasmin was a former Obelisk Blue Duel Academy student who was Atticus' former crush. She, Atticus, and a group of students, were involved in the abandoned dorm incident. She lost half of her pendant, which the other half was left with Atticus who managed to escape. Unable to escape, Yasmin was left behind in the Gravekeeper's Realm as the Gravekeeper's Chief took her in. Through a torturous ritual, she was turned into the Gravekeeper's Assailant and trained to be the Chief's most efficient assassin. She later met with Jaden as the events occurred in GX Season 1 and helped him. She was later summoned by Sleipnir, causing her to leave the Gravekeeper's Realm and enter the Amazon Kingdom to help safeguard the Orb of Minos. Her job was to await the Senshi's inevitable arrival, just as predicted by Sleipnir. As of now, Yasmin has reunited with Atticus and pledges to aid the Duelists against the Paradais Knights.

... 140 mile round trip out of our way but it was so worth it. I said to Jon "thanks for bringing me here, I really appreciate it" and he said "no, thank you for making me come.

Today Sonia & I went to see the Chateau Brissac, which dates back to 1620. Sonia's host mom was nice enough to take us-- it is about a 10 minute ride from Angers. Unfortunately it was breezy, cool and overcast today, but we had a ball. It is so neat to tour the old castles and imagine what person stood where we ...

Well, this isn't good. I hope they can escape the Foot and that Don, Splinter, April, and Mikey got out okay. Nicely done.
The Bubbly One,

Great chapter. I can understand Ren's frustration, but he shouldn't be disrespectful to Splinter. And at least Raph is a bit understanding and not a total jerk.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 10 . 3/26/2011
Ah, so now everything starts. I'm surprised Raph is all about respect when he used to be a smarta**ed kid himself when he was younger. You would think he would be more understanding of Ren and his attitude since he used to be that way himself. But I guess Raph grew up and realized where his anger would lead him. Great job.

Whoa. That was awesome how Leo told Ren everything. Leo's right in that everyone makes mistakes, and I can understand how he'd be misguided by Taki and her words. I just hope Ren doesn't do anything foolish or think badly of his father.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 8 . 3/26/2011
Oh no! Leo shouldn't kill himself just because of that. I'm sure Splinter will forgive him in time. I can't see him holding a grudge against his son no matter what. He doesn't seem like that type. Great job on this chapter. Looks like Ren has to contend with Raph now.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 7 . 3/26/2011
Awesome chapter. I really liked how Ren and Splinter talked. I hope that Splinter and Leo will make amends. Nicely done.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 6 . 3/26/2011
Wow. I was right. It was the Foot. Yeah, Leo's right that Raph shouldn't have said anything to Ren, but Raph's right about Leo hiding stuff from his son. Can't wait to see Ren meet Splinter and Don.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 5 . 3/26/2011
Uh-oh. This can't be good. My guess is that it's the Foot who have them surrounded. Nicely done.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 4 . 3/26/2011
Wow. So now we're learning more about what happened. Taki was part of the Foot and tricked Leo without him knowing it. Then she blackmails him with the baby so he can't leave them. He should've told Splinter about that. Mikey's right in that he would've understood. It was heartbreaking to see Splinter be that way and have Leo surrender his katanas. Nicely done.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 3 . 3/26/2011
Awesome chapter. I can see that Ren and Raph are going to clash big time. I really like how Mikey takes to Ren. Nicely done on this.
The Bubbly One,
| BubblyShell22 chapter 2 . 3/26/2011
Whoa. Ren's a little spitfire isn't he? He kind of has Raph's temper, which is funny considering he's Leo's kid. Well, at least they didn't kidnap him, and Leo's going with him. Good job on this.
The Bubbly One,

After Amare Stoudemire played 28 minutes on Monday, he experienced soreness in his surgically-repaired left knee. The New York Knicks power forward has played in just four games since returning from the injury this season, but the team has been progressively giving him more minutes. They will cut back today.
The Knicks will heed the advice of doctors and reduce Stoudemire's minutes tonight against the Indiana Pacers says Ian Begley of ESPN New York. Neither Stoudemire nor coach Mike Woodson called the decision a setback in Stoudemire's continued recovery. However, Woodson acknowledged that the 28 minutes he allowed Stoudemire to play on Monday was probably too much.
Stoudemire underwent surgery on his knee back in October. He had missed the entire season up until late last week when he made his debut against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Knicks have been trying to integrate him into the lineup slowly, but had planned all along to bring Stoudemire off the bench rather than start him.
In his career, Stoudemire has averaged 21.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. So far this season, his number have been down, but that's because of the reduced minutes. He is averaging 10.0 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in his four games since returning.

File Attachment for Entries
OOPS I hit the enter button sorry about that but here is my question.
I do know that there is a upload feature for wordpress but what I want to know is there a plugin out there that will enable me to attach files to each post that I want to attach files to? I searched and found none...
I want it to be able to upload and attach that file to the post, via the write section of word press..
I agree. I'd like a file upload/link added to the quicktags.js
has anything been created for this request?
Any news yet on this. Would be most useful.
It'd definitely be useful... I even think I've seen it being done somewhere (with WP), but can't remember... stupid head!
I would upload the file first, and then use the custom field to attach/reference to that file.
I needed something like this myself so I created a plugin called Attach Files. Give it a try at and let me know what you think.
Description: The attach-files plugin allows wordpress authors to easily attach data files to their posts in a way that will be familiar to anyone who has sent an email attachment.
tripodmsu I'll give your plugin a try. thanks!
The link for the plugin "Attach Files" no longer works. Does someone have this mirrored somewhere or is there another plugin with similar functionality that is supported?
