Brushing your dog's teeth should not be a chore for you or your dog. Instead, it should be an enjoyable time for both of you. If you take things slowly at the beginning and give lots of praise, you and your dog will start looking forward to your brushing sessions.
To begin brushing, use the following 4-step training process. It may take a couple weeks to complete, but it will help your dog view brushing as a positive activity.
You will need dog toothpaste that has a flavor appealing to your dog. Do not use human toothpaste, as it can upset your pet's stomach. You'll also need a dog toothbrush and small but special treat rewards.

Each major US party has its own delegate system – and idiosyncrasies. And in this hotly contested election cycle, free agents are taking on new importance.
Naming a VP choice after you've been mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination before the convention? That's a bold move.
Is Donald Trump's campaign a 'hostile takeover' of the GOP? Beneath his impressive wins Tuesday are signs he has a big enthusiasm gap within the party.
Job No. 1 for this alliance is to get Kasich voters to support Cruz in the Indiana primary. Yet the Ohio governor seems to think it's time for subtlety on that point.
Yes, the media like to focus on the outrageous things Donald Trump says. He did again Tuesday. But hidden in the bluster are some surprising policy nuggets.
Ted Cruz's plan is to amass as many supporters among 'unbound' delegates as he can. But the strategy is showing signs of faltering.
Two polls show that Republicans are worried about how their party looks from the inside and the outside.
Often, the preferences of party insiders prove pivotal in deciding on a nominee. In 2016, 'the party decides' model is turned on its head as Republican elites have refused to rally around one candidate.
Modern running mates tend to be picked to provide balance for a candidate, rather than home-state advantage. This is what makes them interesting.
Drops of sweat fall from Spaniard Rafael Nadal's face in a tennis match against Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia during the Madrid Open on Tuesday.
It's one thing for campaign strategists to dream up a divide-states-and-conquer plan on a conference call. It's quite another for actual voters to agree.
Donald Trump is showing signs of going into a less controversial 'general election' mode. But there could be complications
What the Empire State's primary vote really does is confirm the likely nomination endgame. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump look hard to beat.
Donald Trump had apparently thought his spare campaign operation was enough. Now, he's making moves that suggest he's realized it might not be.
Donald Trump pitches himself as a 'winner,' and his tirades against an allegedly rigged delegate system could allow him to maintain that claim, even if he loses.
Turnout at a Brooklyn campaign rally for Bernie Sanders was truly large – by some accounts 28,000. But it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know.
The New York daily calls him a 'rookie' with 'superstar' potential but rips his proposals. Border wall? 'Simplistic.' Arm Japan with nukes? 'Not remotely a good idea.'
Tonight's televised event offers the Democratic hopefuls their last shared stage to define themselves and each other. Three topics are sure to crop up: experience, Wall Street ties, and New York-ness.
How does the Republican Party decide how many delegates each state will a have in the presidential nomination process? There's a method. But it doesn't give all primary voters an equal say – a fact that's drawing scrutiny in the wild 2016 race.
Yes, the GOP can choose the candidate it wants. But the race for the nomination is not what it was in 1968, much less 1860. Just ask the Drudge Report.

McCloughan reveals where the Redskins will line up Cravens in base defense
McCloughan reveals where the Redskins will line up Cravens in base defense
When the Redskins draft Su'a Cravens in the second round, they told him that he would be a nickel outside linebacker. But his jersey number is 36, which is not a linebackers number; it is the number that safety Sean Taylor wore during his rookie year. And he was listed on the roster as a safety.
When speaking to the media yesterday, Scot McCloughan was still unsure what meeting room Cravens would sit in. Apparently the situation has been clarified. This morning McCloughan said that Cravens will play strong safety in the Redskins' base defense.
"I think he'll come in as a strong safety," McCloughan told Mike Florio on PFT Live. "We'll put him in that room first."
The fact that they will start him off at safety, however, does not mean that they will not take advantage of his versatility.
"As you're well aware, he has the ability to play outside backer," said McCloughan. "The thing we're excited about . . . is pass rush ability. We see him, in base, probably being a strong safety, in sub, be an outside backer, even play him at inside linebacker in sub."
McCloughan sees Cravens as a player who can become a playmaker on a defense that doesn't have many players like that.
"He's a good football player, you know, he's instinctive. Day 1, he talked into USC, starting making plays," he said. "Again, he's not the biggest, he's not the fastest, he's not the quickest but he makes plays. He's got instincts. That's what you look for on Sundays."
Chris Tillman starts as Orioles begin life without J.J. Hardy
Chris Tillman starts as Orioles begin life without J.J. Hardy
Tonight's Game: New York Yankees (8-15) vs. Baltimore Orioles (14-10), Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, 7:05 p.m.
Starting pitchers: Luis Severino (0-3, 6.86) vs. Chris Tillman (2-1, 3.24)
Keys to the Game:
Can the Orioles play well without J.J. Hardy? They were 17-33 in games he didn't start last season.
Can Tillman keep on his roll? He allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings on Thursday at Tampa Bay.
News and Notes:
The Orioles will place Hardy on the disabled list and recall Ryan Flaherty from Norfolk.
Tillman is 6-6 with a 4.96 ERA in 16 starts against the Yankees.
Alex Rodriguez is 6-for-13 (.462) with four home runs against Tillman. Mark Teixeira is 9-for-23 (.391).
Matt Wieters is 2 for his last 20.
Five stats to understand Capitals' Game 3 loss to Penguins
Five stats to understand Capitals' Game 3 loss to Penguins
BY RICH GOLDBERG (@GoldyStats)
Five stats to know following the Capitals' Game 3 loss to the Penguins:
One's best shot: The Capitals' 49 shots on goal are the 2nd most in a playoff regulation loss in team history. Back in 2010, Washington had 54 shots against Montreal. The 49 shots are the most in any Capitals playoff game since 2011 against the Rangers.
Parting shot: The Capitals outshot the Penguins by 26 (49-23) which tied for their 4th highest shot differential in playoff team history. Five times the Capitals have had a shot differential of +26 or better but Washington's 1-4 in those games.
Slow start, strong finish: The Capitals have outscored their opponents 11-3 in the third period this postseason. But similar to the regular season, the start of games hasn't been pretty. Washington's managed 3 goals in the opening period of these 2016 playoffs. The Capitals scored 0 goals in the first period of Game 3, and trailed the Penguins 2-0 after the first 20 minutes.
Equal treatment?: The NHL suspended Brooks Orpik for 3 games for interference against Olli Maatta. Will the NHL do the same for Kris Letang's hit against Marcus Johansson? The Penguins are 2-8-1 this season without Kris Letang in the lineup.
No better place: If numbers told the whole story, the Capitals may have the Penguins right where they want them. Washington has a 6-11 series record when leading 2 games to 1 in a best-of-7 series. But when trailing 2 to 1 in a best-of-7, the Capitals are 6-7 with a 3-1 series record since 2009.

"Yeroham, gate to Maktesh Gadol and Katan" Yeroham by Martin_S.
Yeroham Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 98 photos
The "Maktesh Gadol" is one of three, the Maktesh Gadol, Maktesh Katan and Maktesh Ramon make up the geological triplets of these amazing crater like anomlies...here you can see behind Xiao and Vanessa the Maktesh Gadol (Gadol means "big" in Hebrew). It is a basin or crater shaped valley with only a single opening in the rim wall, almost like a volcano rim that has exploded. There are several theories on how these were formed, but as far as I know none are proven 100% yet.
This is the Maktesh "Katan" (Katan means "Small" in Hebrew), much smaller in circumfence that its bigger brother, here you can see the "cleft" or single outlet in the upper center. The lighter colored wiggly lines you can see are places where rainwater has runoff and left sediment of a light color.
Here you can see Xiao checking out one of the reasons that so many people visit the Maktesh Gadol. There is a park there called "Colored Sand" where minerals in the ground, along with rainwater have caused deposits of different colors, all jumbled together. If you look closely over Xiao's shoulder you can see shades of red, yellow, grey and even eggshell white.
- Pros:Beautiful mineral deposits
- Cons:Can be too hot in mid day sun
- In a nutshell:Take lots of water.

We have been excitedly observing and documenting how our flowers have been changing over the past week. Today was the last day of our experiment. We were amazed by how much our flowers have changed in such a short time. It was interesting to see how even the stems of the flowers were beginning to change colour too! Through this project we learned how the veins in plants/flowers carry water to all the plants parts to keep them alive. We also learned the importance of being "scientists" and how the scientific method is followed. All the flowers went home today in backpacks. We hope you like our flowers!!!

Having A Great Time!Darbury and I went to a dinner in Sacramento for the Croatian Scholarship Fund. This is just another endeavor of the Croatian diaspora. This community is located in Northern California and the peeps in Sacramento have built a fine club house. The food was great as was the whole shindig. I was one of the guests of honor and the entertainers, Mate & Petra, busted out an instrumental version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the digital keyboard! (The keyboardist also did Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" a little later.) There was a nice folk dancing presentation with wonderful traditional costumes. And of course, as these things go there were many speeches by board members, functionaries and the presentation of plaques. I got to chat with folks like the vice-ambassador of Croatia to the United States, a man who builds robots that clear land-mines and others connected to the land also known as Hrvatska. Big shout out to Gary Allen, who was a great host.
Reverb blogger/pilot Krist Novoselic has been documenting his trip to California, including his experiences with SF's public transportation and visits with old friends like Buzz Osborne.

Crash.Net ALMS News
Dyson takes historic first win for LMP675
28 July 2003
The Dyson Racing team scored its first-ever win in the American Le Mans Series - and the first for an LMP675 prototype - with an exciting, come-from-behind victory in the Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma at Sears Point.
James Weaver and Butch Leitzinger not only gave team owner Rob Dyson his first ALMS win, but made history as the first drivers to score an overall win with an LMP 675 car, as they took their blue-and-white Lola EX257-MG from pole to victory lane.
Frank Biela and Marco Werner finished second overall and first in the LMP 900 class in the Infineon Team Joest Audi R8, while round two winner Johnny Herbert made an exciting last-lap pass to take third place for himself and Champion Racing team-mate JJ Lehto, beating the Doran Lista Dallara-MG of Bill Auberlen and Didier Theys. Olivier Beretta and Gunnar Jeannette finished fifth in the JML Team Panoz.
Though the Dyson team has been one of North America's most successful sports car racing teams of the past 15 years, the team had not won a race in the ALMS since the series was formed in 1999. Team owner Rob Dyson invested in the new Lola-MG machine last year with the goal of scoring overall wins, as well as class wins.
''I'm sure it was exciting,'' said Leitzinger, ''and I think this win is a very good thing for sportscar racing. This class was formed to give the privateer teams like Dyson a way to take on the big factory teams - and we've just proven the vision for the sport. For a team like Dyson to be able to put up a fight is good for the sport overall.''
Scott Atherton, president and CEO of the American Le Mans series, agreed.
''This is a very significant and historical occasion for the American Le Mans Series,'' he said, ''Our most sincere congratulations go out to Rob Dyson and all of the members of his team for what they have accomplished. They worked very hard with testing and development of the car and this is their reward.
''When the ACO introduced this class of car a few years ago, they had the vision that with the right set of circumstances - the right team, right drivers, right track - that the LMP675 could compete head-to-head with the LMP900. We saw today that the ACO had the correct vision, because this was one of the most exciting and competitive races in sportscar racing history - not just for the overall win, but also for the class wins. This bodes well not only for the rest of the 2003 season, but also for the future of the American Le Mans Series.''
Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell won the GTS class in the factory Chevrolet Corvette C5-R, barely edging the second factory Corvette of Oliver Gavin and Kelly Collins. The win was the third consecutive in ALMS competition at Infineon Raceway for O'Connell and Fellows.
''It was a great fight,'' Fellows said, ''The cars were evenly matched - there were places where they were better and places where we were better. It was a great, great race - this is a great race track to have this kind of fight. It's tricky and then you throw in the traffic and it's like high-speed chess.''
David Brabham and Jan Magnussen, making their debut in the Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello, finished third in the GTS class.
Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr won the GT class in the Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with Luhr snatching the lead from fellow Alex Job Racing driver Timo Bernhard on the next-to-last lap. The Porsche of Bernhard and Jorg Bergmeister finished second, .524 second behind, with third place going to the Risi Competizione Ferrari 360 Modena of Ralf Kelleners and Anthony Lazzaro.

So dh and I had a small (ahem) discussion about something so minor it doesn't even rate on my richter scale. I go to bedand go right to sleep. He does not. He stays up untill the wee hours of the morning and comes to bed.
I HATE to be touched while i am sleeping. He knows this. I also feel that once I am sleeping the kind of apology I am willing to be woken up for should begin "Honey, I'm very sorry taking that transvestite Liza Minneli impersonator for that wild weekend in Helsinki." You really epic stuff where I'm probably not sleeping anyway but creatively plotting his death.
So, anyway, it's three am and sure enough, here comes the penis of apology ready to play. I give off every sign of being asleep. then comes the backrub. Leave me alone! I move farther away. There might have been a few blue words floating around. Then he says "Do you want to sleep, or do you want to play around???" What????
Now, we have hurt feelings. Sigh. So, can someone who speaks guy/moron please help me with proper phrasing? I'm inclined to speak with a sledge hammer next but I'm thinking that might not be conducive to a happy marriage.
Also, my three year old is angling for a puppy named burrito. Her latest shot "Mommy. whern will you love me enough to get me a puppy?"

Newly converted to KOA - and still working at coming up to what you find at most other KOAs (at least in our experience). Our experience was very poor due to the to physical facilities related to site levelness and at least one very good opportunity for a "high center" danger.
Upon our arrival we were checked in by a courteous staff member. We were assigned to our spot and off we went. The only KOAs that we've stayed that we were not guided to our spot.
This is where the issues started. The "pull through" we were assigned to was a dirt spot - not gravel, not concrete but dirt. "Pull through" is a misnomer here - the sites are very short with severe angles and corners to cut around. With our gasser Class A our levelers couldn't level out. We changed sites 3 more times before I found a washed out site that I could level on BUT when you opened the door the bottom step was about 18" off the ground. The electrical box was leaning severely towards the water faucet and the lid was difficult to open.
After complaining I was reassigned to another spot. A back-in . I did a recon of the site and figured I could back in. I did only to find out there was 30 amp service only. (Note: I was very specific in needing a 50 amp service.) So I was again reassigned to a spot just above where I was sitting. As I looked the spot over I noticed what I believe to be a very serious problem - the real possibility of "HIGH CENTER". If you don't know what a high center danger is - I advise you to learn. In my 22 year US Army career I have seen this problem - it So I did a K turn with my 38' sports car and avoided the possible danger. Then went to a new spot. We made it work - but it wasn't easy.
In the end - this has real possibilities BUT for now avoid this place. It is about 10 miles off the I-20.
While the staff is pleasant - there are SERIOUS problems with the facility. This place has real potential but can be a real danger.
AVOID. - bigben

This is now a KOA campground and price reflects KOA discount for holiday weekend stay. Hopefully, they will be making some improvements to this park. There is no cable TV, the Wi-Fi is spotty and you have to obtain they password from the office (one password per device), and our site was pretty unlevel. The lake sites were definitely not built for big rigs and very difficult to maneuver with our 41' fifth wheel. Very crowded, which was to be expected on a holiday weekend; however, there did not appear to be any site limitations as far as vehicles and people go. Some sites would have four to five cars on them. The pools appeared to be clean but we did not use them. - Campdog41
Apr 2015 - $40.00
We booked our stay for North Shore during the month of February 2015 for our stay in April 2015. Upon making reservations we were quoted $32 per night for a lake front site- no deposit required. The week prior to making our trip we called to double check reservations and were told they didn't offer sites for the amount we were quoted and a lakefront would be $70 per night or could take a regular site for $40. We decided to take a $40 site. Upon arrival, the park was in deplorable conditions. Pictures online are NOT true to what current conditions are. Sites were un-level, not shaded, no fire rings, no grills, and the picnic tables were all rotted. The pools looked to not have had water in them in several years, the play set was leaning and unable to play on, the mini golf hadn't been tended to in several years. The bathhouses smelled of urine with moldy curtains. Definitely NOT worth $40 or $70 per night. The sites were stacked one on top of another- just not how we like to camp. Needless to say, we wound up getting a refund and heading to another campground for our weekend. We've camped at many other resorts- this was definitely not worthy of that type of title. Wouldn't recommend this park to anyone expecting a resort, especially if you have children. There are several other parks in the area for half the price of this that are much nicer condition. - Lulubelle80

After leaving another campground in the area due to deplorable conditions, our family was lucky to be able stay at Old Salem campground. For $20 per night, you get ultra clean, newer restrooms, laundry, two new playgrounds, boat ramp, beach, and spacious sites with new picnic tables. We do our fair share of camping resorts, state parks, and private parks. This has to be one of our favorite campgrounds. Nice layout and family friendly. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys any type of camping. Will be returning for 4th of July. - Lulubelle80

Clean, well kept park on Lake Oconee. Most sites are gravel and large with good spacing. Each site has a nice table, fire ring, and grill. Lots of shade trees means satellite locations are at a premium. This is one of the Georgia Power parks. Shopping, restaurants, and movies and about 2 miles away in an upscale shopping area. It gets really busy on the holidays so get reservations. The park usually closes immediately following Labor Day but this year the doing a trial and will be open until September 28. Stop by and check it out. - Pjoe

Hidden jewel! Never knew Georgia Power has such nice parks. The web sites are hard to find, but then a new world opens. The sites are reasonable level and spacious, even though they could be spaced apart a tad further. Great beach area and a rather large recreation area on the lake, with a large shelter. We were in the first section (closer to the entrance) and had a bath house all to ourself. Wonderful family bathroom with plenty of hot water and nice water pressure. We will certainly be back! - knay111

the no one talks about allot is Dendy. I will go out on a limb and say that if he was on the team this year, we would be at worst a 1 loss team right now. His athleticism and defense inside would have been exactly what we need.
I agree. He was a vacuum cleaner around the bucket. Boy, did he make a mistake.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
He had raw talent for sure, but I'm not sure I'd want to mess with the chemistry that this team has right now.

Who's to say he wouldn't have bought in?

All signs on him last year pointed to him being a problem player who didn't really want to be here. If we could just take his on court production, I would. If everything else came with it, that is another story.
Not sure he would have the work ethic...he usually got gassed after a few times down the court in Mac's offense. But totally agree, if either he or Ham stays, we're looking at maybe being undefeated at this point as well.
Dendy is exactly what we need but his drama was getting ridiculous. Is he quitting the team during holiday break? Is he quitting the team in February? I always support players but enough was enough. If you don't want to be here, GTFO.
I loved his game on the court but he needed to grow up as a person. Great athlete and feel for the game considering his overall inexperience at playing basketball at a high level.
I'd have to agree...Our leading rebounder is 6'2" and our leading shotblocker is JVB---never would have thought this team could be 14-4 with those two things occuring
Given that everybody bought in, I think Dendy would have bought in.
He would need to play defense and rebound, and dunk the ball on fast breaks. He would love that, because those were his favorite parts to the game.
As far as defense, he at least liked blocking shots, but he seemed to like the physical games, too.

I think Fred could have worked with his family and him. That is one of CFH's strong points. He just seemed like he needed a little more guidance.

He might have, who knows? But he seemed, from a total outsider's perspective, to be a bit of a wild card in his temperament, and IF that was the case, I wouldn't want him anywhere near our current players (or transfers eligible for next year especially included).
Who knows if he academically even would have been eligible too...I'm just saying I don't think he was hitting the books all that hard...
It was his loss more than ours. Isn't he playing at a juco now? Not a smart move by the Dendster.
I think I'd rather have ham
I think Dendy was just fine, I put the blame 100% on the coach and his way of relating to players. Dendy made mistakes but a good coach relationship, nothing would have ever came to surface. Dendy is a stud and would be tearing it up this year.

Norms and Ideals in Peirce's Speculative Rhetoric
Ignacio Redondo
We must not begin by talking of pure ideas,—vagabond thoughts that
tramp the public roads without any human habitation,—but must begin
with men and their conversation.
—Charles Sanders Peirce, The Collected Papers
of Charles Sanders Peirce
In a celebrated essay, the prominent communications scholar James Carey pointed out that beneath our ways of talking about communication there are two major conceptions constraining our communicative discourses and practices (Carey 1989, 14–15). The first is the "transmission view" of communication, which is commonly explained as the transmission of ideas from mind to mind; the other is the "ritual view" of communication, which, in Carey's words, is not directed "toward the extension of messages in space but toward the maintenance of society" (Carey 1989, 18). In this view, communication is related to communion, conceived not as the mere sharing of contents but as the act of being engaged in the life of a community. Here, the main concept is that of practice, which highlights rules, norms, and shared patterns of conduct governed by certain ends or values, which, in turn, define the very essence of a given community. There is, therefore, a deep link between communicative practices, conceived as shared habits of conduct, and normative standards controlled by purposes, goals, and ideals. Indeed, as Craig has defended, as long as a practice develops, a normative discourse about the practice

When Mike Dye joined the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union in the late 1970s, the organization had 300 members. Its current registry lists fewer than 100 crewmen representing just 15 boats.
"We're sort of an anachronism," says Dye, who longlines for halibut and black cod. "Most boats aren't represented at all. We're not exactly flourishing."
But if the union's membership has dwindled, its longevity is yearly becoming more impressive. The Deep Sea Fishermen's Union of the Pacific (DSFU) is now celebrating its 100th anniversary, marking its milestone this month with a bash that Dye promises will recall the Flatfish Balls that the union used to host in its heyday.
"Some people are very negative about the union and feel it has no influence whatsoever, but we're still here," Dye says. "We show up, we have a credible voice, and we're carrying on the good work that's gone before. There's a lot of pride in that."
The halibut industry was in nasty shape in 1912, when fishermen from three steamships gathered in a Seattle meeting hall to form the DSFU. Halibut were tough to find, and fishermen were forced to chase them through sometimes fatal storms. The union's founders demanded higher wages and safer working conditions. They led a number of strikes against boat owners, who organized themselves as the Fishing Vessel Owners Association.
Striking is one of many tactics that doesn't readily translate from the shop floor to the open sea, Dye points out. "A boat is not a picketable thing," he says. The fractious nature and relative invisibility of the industry - and the independent nature of most fishermen - have worked against union organizing. The DSFU is currently the only union in the U.S. representing crewmen.
Crewmen involved in other fisheries periodically ask DSFU members for organizing advice, but typically give up upon realizing how easily boat owners with a globe's worth of willing workers can replace them.
"The last couple of years, crab fishermen were reaching out to us, but they perceived a backlash," Dye says. "Boat owners can pretty much thwart organizing activities."
At sea, as on land, interest in unions has tapered as new legislation has helped curb the worst labor abuses. "Most of the union battles were won a long time ago," Dye says. For the DSFU, those fights included the adoption of catch limits to stabilize halibut prices; the prohibition of bottom trawlers and the re-establishment of the international boundary further offshore.
The DSFU once had offices in Vancouver and Petersburg, Alaska, but scaled back its operations as the Fishing Vessel Owners Association shrank.
"I often say to people that our union stays the same, but they've bled members," Dye says. "A lot of people sold their boats and cashed out."
Throughout the demographic changes, the DSFU has continued to represent crew member interests at meetings of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. Dye recently returned from a council meeting in Anchorage.
"One of the problems is the producers always want more, more, more," Dye says. "They'll brush away science. We very much back science and try to be protective of the fishery. The union is a political voice."
Dye attributes the strength of the union's voice to "Scandinavian rectitude," and its members' tenacity.
"You get things if you stay with it," he says. "Fishing tests you like nothing else. You hate it when you're doing it and you love it when you're not doing it. Being out on the water for 18-, 19-hour days, the overwhelming pride you feel, it's such a fulfilling, wonderful thing. It's hard not to be a little bit boastful."
This month's party is closed to the public, but the DSFU plans to issue a commemorative history later this year. "We'll have a nice coffee table book for the Christmas season," Dye says.

Pure sentiment and valuation extreme call here. Declining secular business but at this price has overshot to the downside on bad news, market gyrations and financials hitting new 52-lows.
Visa and Mastercard are eating their lunch.
Will suffer in the short-term. Costco deal, competition will challenge revenues. Over the long-term, however, they will be just fine. In my opinion, threats from emerging companies like Square are exaggerated.
I am a cardholder but I still can't resist down thumbing this snobby, uptight company. The Costco breakup will hurt them in the long run. They seem more interested in protecting their air of exclusivity than serving their cardmembers and shareholders. Doesn't have the wide reach of Visa or MC. Underperform
Solid fundamentals, too a hit recently and should be going up
Lost Costco. I am a merchant (CFO) and they held my money for a week for no good reason in my judgment. Worse, their arrogance was worst than the act itself. The waived 1/2 the fee after I demanded it but were no going to offer anything for the inconvenience they created. It has led me evaluate whether to continue to accept AMEX particularly since their fees are2-3 times other card processors. Not a good sign and I will be watching how management behaves in the coming months on both my specific issue and to the loss of Costco.
undervalued right now. Costco won't lay a glove on them.
American Express will quickly bounce back up from their loss of Costco, JetBlue and the other partners; they will find other companies to work with and establish relationships that will bring the earnings back up.
Jumping in after revenue miss, 5% drop, adding to my live position as well.
Good buy at this price. Loosing Costco will be compensated for soon. This company double dips with its fees. It charges both card holders and merchants. They are trying to keep their costs low, hence the rejection of the Costco deal.
Proven management will weather short term storm created by COSTCO breakup.
Great company, serving a niche in card charges. Also, delivers greater customer service
Probably can't go wrong with an credit card company. Long term, global trend of using a credit card for virtually all payments.
1.This company has premium customers that spend through thick and thin.
2. The current events have priced it at a discount.
The loss of co-branding with Costco will have a significant impact on the valuation level provided by the market. Despite this significant loss, AXP still trades at a premium to its five year average PEG.
American Express is the leader when it comes to credit cards used by wealthy clients ... AXP is THE card of the 1%. Mr. Chenault knows what he's doing when he says that their relationships with Costco and jetBlue don't make economic sense for the company or their shareholders.
There is lots of concern surrounding American Express right now: (1) growth is slowing, (2) it has recently lost some co-branded cards (most notably Costco), (3) it is facing increased competition for high net worth consumers from Barclays and JP Morgan Chase, and (4) in response it is trying to attract less affluent card holders with its Bluebird card (which may damage its luxury brand). That's a lot to be worried about. But, I continue to believe that AXP is an above average company with smart leadership and troves of spending data (that it has not fully put to use) so I think it deserves to trade at an above-average multiple. That is not the case today. According to CapIQ it is trading at only about 15x on both a trailing and forward earnings basis.
Costco deciding to drop Amex from payment options affects the stock short term, but in the coming I set a price target of ($83-$84, which is close to the MA(200) of $83.12 as of close of the market Friday. This is a short term dip that will be rectified in the weeks to come. Tuesday into Wednesday we should start to see the stock recover,
AXP is trading at its 52 week low. The fall out from Costco and an unfavorable earnings report have beat Amex up. However, its a strong company, with a reasonable P/E. They will rebound.

I have been shooting surf videos using both an FZ150 and a GH3 (mft). Both set for AVCHD 1920x1080p 60fps. (I shoot 60fps because it lends itself to great slo-mo and freeze frames later.) I am hard-pressed to see any qualitative difference in the footage. It seems that the 2mp format really levels the playing field for IQ, at least in good light. However, the FZ150 offers one major advantage: I can focus at wide angle, start shooting, and zoom all the way in without losing focus. This is...

According to the manual, the resulting video should be 50fps. However, once the file is on my computer (PC, Win7) if I right-click the file and look at "Properties" (Detail) it shows 29fps. Pixels remain at the 1920x1080 setting. Any ideas on why I'm apparently not getting the frame rate specified in the...
Just purchased the JJC TM-Series remote for my FZ150. With no "bulb" setting, what should the shutter setting be for night photography? --Ted P.
Posted to: Open Talk
I've had the Panasonic FZ150 for a couple of years; I've taken 1000's of pictures and always been satisfied with its performance. Recently, however, when focusing on a shot, I will see lens dust in the view finder and it will be seen on the imagine after taking it. If I turn the camera off, or change the mode, the dirty lenses condition will disappear, the focus is clear and no dust. Is this something I can correct/fix or am I going to have to send it to a "service center" I've attached...
I'm looking for a small external flash to be used as fill flash with the FZ150. I'll probably only use it for macro because the built in flash is blocked by the conversion lens/tube. Any suggestions on what to get? Thanks. Oh, I want something cheap and small. --yuki
Hello, Could anyone please tell me, do I have to use a conversion tube with close-up filters on my FZ200?
Just got a Panny ZS30 today! I have a question regarding the pixel count. I've had a FZ150 for a few years and I usually shoot at 3 mp rather than 12 mp. I don't care for huge files and rarely print anything larger than 5x7. Can you adjust the mp count on the ZS30 depending on the situation? Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I haven't been on the Panasonic forum for a few years. Thanks for any help Bob in MD
Problem: when shooting pics on a trip i encountered this situation - an unplanned, nonactivated, unexplained and very disturbing harp drop in picture size, from the highest quality to the lowest (640x480) , and occasionally up again after one or more shots, while shooting in the P mode. Is this something that happened to other FZ150 cameras? Will appreciate info and advice. thanks guys.
I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ150. Having used traditional cameras for over 30 years before changing to digital, I have always tried to use F11 or F16 when photographing landscapes, in order to achieve a good depth of field. I have also preferred to retain some control eg using aperature priority rather than letting the camera make all the decisions. However, I find that, using digital cameras, the recording modes give better results than choosing the settings myself. For instance, the landscape...
Made a video and few shots of a rabbit in the backyard on the FZ150 but didn't realize until afterwards that no SD card was in it so everything was recorded on camera memory. Is there any way to get these to the computer? I hooked up the cord to the computer but nothing downloaded. Or is this a lost cause? (I know I should've checked for the SD card but in a hurry didn't think there wasn't one in the camera.)

ON The End Of All Things, the ethereal last track of Panic! at the Disco's fourth studio album, it sounds as if the Las Vegas rock outfit has taken a leaf out of Imogen Heap's discography.
It's an awfully peculiar melancholia-tinged song that meanders between folktronica and alt rock. The End Of All Things is easily the best cut in an album that's filled with psychedelic, but often unfocused, electronic rock tracks. Not that it's all bad, really.
Opening track This Is Gospel, in which frontman Brendon Urie sings: "Their gnashing teeth and criminal tongues/ Conspire against the odds," before declaring "they haven't seen the best of us yet" gives listeners a glimpse of that emo-glam band which rocked the house down with I Write Sins Not Tragedies over seven years ago.
And on Collar Full, the band delivers a potential radio hit whose inherent appeal could be attributed to the simplistic and repetitive lyrics.
But on tracks such as Nicotine, Girls/Girls/Boys and Casual Affair, it does feel as if the boys of Panic! at the Disco have mistaken brilliance for rave, choosing to deliver one passable dance number after another.
That being said, Too Weird To Live ... was meant to be, in Urie's words, a "party record" that's inspired by the band's home city of Las Vegas. To that extent, the band was on track with the album's inspiration. It's just too bad what works in Vegas, doesn't necessarily work elsewhere.
