Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne
Top Boutique Hotel
328 Flinders Street, Melbourne, VIC
0.7 km from
Unable to open windows - air conditioning either too hot cold or too cold. Very claustrophobic.
Location of the hotel and helpfulness of the staff. The room was not cleaned until late in the afternoon.
Excelent central location,close to shops and Railway station,clean and tidy all services adiquite ,decor average. To describe our room as Deluxe would require a vivid imagination.Good basic at best.
The location is great and the rooms are pretty basic. You get what you pay for. There was no "do not disturb" sign to put on the door so housekeeping would let themselves in without so much as a single knock. I could have been naked. Noise from the hall filtered into the room so as a light sleeper I had trouble with that. Wanted to have a look around the hotel because of the heritage but got told off by one of the staff.
comfortable bed not really - a little noisy
Location Checking in 1/2 hour before I was supposed they said have to wait 1.5 hours for room but spoke to manager and she fixed that
decor breakfast could have had more selection and real heinz baked beans
Very convenient for the CBD and the tourist bus & tram The hotel won an award in 2010 for renovations - i don't think they checked room 728. While my hotel room was cleaned every day thoroughly - it was disappointing to see such stained carpet; also as the ventilation in the bathroom was not good, there was a faint smell of "drains"
Easy access to the rest of the city The TV was old and didn't work very good. It was also hard to see the bed from the other single bed
The service and cleanliness Very goog experience and proximity of the center of the city
friendly staff, convenience of hotel, air conditioning, quietness price
Staff very friendly and helpful. Location to see all of Melbourne excellent. The air conditioning in our room was poor and it got quite hot.
The Hotel was chosen for it's luxury & location. It did not disappoint. All the facilities and staff were first class.
Very friendly staff and great facilities. Hotel charged rate different to booking.com
his is a fantastic hotel its very luxurious. The pillow were very uncomfortable thats al.
What a gorgeous place!!! The attentiveness of the staff was fantastic. the food was wonderful - I ate at the Melba and although it was exspensive it was exceptional food. The room was lovely. My primary reason for selecting the hotel was the old world charm of the hotel. I don't see value for money in modern hotels. I booked 2 rooms for myself and my husband, our older son and a family friend and would do so again. We all had a massage at the Chuan Spa which I found was outstanding. The staff there were amazing and the masseur although young was extremely talented and well trained. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. If you like comfort and extreme luxury and to be surrounded by beauty. I think it is the best in Melbourne.
We look forward to staying at The Langham Hotel again when we next visit Melbourne. Our every need was catered for with grace and cheerfulness. This is a 'happy' hotel from room staff, to people on reception, concierge, and those servicing gourmet venues. Small but important details like bottled water beside the bed each night distinguished this hotel from others we have stayed at.
Room was great, public areas great and staff very very good Excessive charges for internet
Breakfast was a rediculous price as was Internet connection.
The view of the river and the great concierge. first room was not a river view as stated, but this was corrected.
George, the front door greeter was amazing. Very helpful and friendly.
lobby entrance, staff, elegance, lighting
My daughter and I had our own spa night - loved the room, bathroom and staff were exceptional. Even put water in our car for the drive home! All good
very friendly, obliging staff I am a smoker. The GH should find a way to accomodate guests who smoke within the hotel.
The new rooms were very comfortable..great views Even tho we have stayed there before they put us in an old room ..we asked to be changed...they recovered well
Location I didn't like the fact that they had no record of my booking, even after I gave them the booking reference. I had to print out a copy of your email before they would believe me. Either you or the hotel stuffed up. I was told there were no rooms but they then found one upon presentation of the printout. the room was obviously one they don't usually reserve for full paying guests.
The club lounge
The club room was excelent just need a sellection of hot breakfast in the morning,and more sellection of beverage, but everything was good. sellection or type of pillow in hte room.
a good place to stay when you want to visit melbourne downtown, valet parking service is good. All Astralian hotels have a very high charge on network connection and unreasonable on the charge model, A$0.55 per min, upto A$29 per day, the charge is over 10% of room rent. also, the parking charge is A$35 per day, over another 15%.
çity location and the view of the city yes the lack of tea coffee in the room, extra blankets ordered were old and torn, not enough room service and room was small and needs redoing.
The location in Melbourne is very convenient. One day my room was not cleaned. When I asked why I was told that I had to request it!!!!!!!!! Secondly there was no effort made by one member of staff to find an internet cable in another room. The lack of a smile on the front desk was apparent.
The location On arrival the staff were poor demanding credit card impression and authorisation even though room fee was aid in advance and their was no itemised account available on checkout.
The location was unbeatable and all the main attractions could be reached on foot. Excellent links to rail and tram transport too. Very close to Yarra River and Southbank attractions. They lost my nightdress and I found a cockroach (live) in my hotel room.
It was in a good location, close to shops and public transport. The Skybus provides a free pick up and drop off service for guests to and from Spencer Street station for the airport transfer. The bathroom/toilet. There was no sort of shower recess and the shower curtain was 3/4 length thus splashing the water everywhere in the bathroom/toilet which made it messy. No conditioner and shower cap available.
close to everything it was lovely and clean suited us very well need more milk
Tv screen setting for wide screen was incorrect
Convenient - Reasonably Priced - none
Fantastic service. Great rate. Parking is a little difficult to navigate, suggest calling the property ahead. still reasonably priced though.
We found this very good value and close to the city.The breakfast wes alsdo good value paticularly if you book it . It is reduced to $13.00. Very clean and the only thing missing was a bar and lounge.
It was an excellent location close to many facilities and near teh walk along the Yarra River.
Perfect location, excellent staff.
The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city. Excellent buffet breakfast. Everything was excellent, no complaints at all.
The kids loved the little teddy's and chocolates! And we liked the ease of everything. Our room seemed to be quite hot and hard to get the right temperature for sleeping.
loved the location and the staff were friendly and efficient
The locatrion was great , very central to most venues.
Free Wi-Fi at decent speed, pretty spacious Expensive breakfast - sadly an all too common problem
Quite nice hotel, good location. Although quite good not quite as flash as some others in similar price range. Noise easily heard from nearby rooms.
Location very central.very near to flinders station,federation square and everything!!!staffs were great too. No complimentary wireless Internet service!the charge for Internet usage was very expensive!
close to the city and transport romm where we stayed was dark. bathroom needs refurbish and more shampoos soap etc
Staff excellent. Breakfast excellent. Location excellent. Executive room quite small. Bathroom dated. Room generally pretty average, not good enough for the money.
staff are kind and friendly no
no rush, calls answered/and executed perfectly,valet parking 10/10,meals 10/10,comfortwas fantastic.close to the show we attended,friendly staff,at all hours. N/A
The greeting on the tv when we first arrived. Not being offered a map of Melbourne on arrival
The Location of this hotel got top marks, cleanliness was excellent, very comfy, staff great.
The room, facilities and staff were international class and that made all the difference - will definetly return. No instructions on how to drive the dishwasher
the staff where very helpful and everything was so close. the rooms where very comfortasble and clean, loved it. we have stayed in Melbourne many times and this rates as one of the best places we have stayed in. Definately stay there again.
Great location, rooms and staff. Great breakfast and pool - gym was a bit tight. Nespresso pods (6) was a great idea too
staff were excellent. brilliant location. Looking forward to our Christmas week bookings... unfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable!
Great location, very helpful staff, great amenities
Attitude of all the staff. Obviously very well trained. The location was excellent for getting to all the locations we wanted to visit.
the comfort, cleanliness, central to the city, great staff. parking out the front was always clogged and was a problem for taxi's.
Excellent location, friendly staff, geat view Two single beds pushed together is not a king size bed and is uncomfortable with a gap in the center of the bed. Was informed that the room was ready and opened the door to find the cleaner still cleaning. Had to stand there for ten minutes and wait for her to finish.
Our stay at Quay West Suites was fantastic, hotel was so central to all the attractions available in central Melbourne. Our room was lovely and we had the perfect view of the city from our room. The hotels pool, spa and gym were great and next time we return to Melbourne we will definitely be re-booking with this hotel.
The location, comfort and friendly staff.
This is an excellent hotel for staying in Melbourne - it is central and close to the main transport office and hub. We just needed it for one night and it fulfilled our needs - the bedrooms were clean and comfy but badly in need of refurbishment - presumably why the price was so good. They charged to store our luggage.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The Victoria All Seasons Hotel is situated right in the center of Melbourne's CBD, therefore, absolutely everything is easy to get to, including the transport system.
Its location. Friendly very good desk staff. Cost was good $110 a night for 30 second walk to Swanston st - most central hotel I had stayed in to date. The shower in room 338 was about 1/4 pressure, like a big trickle - horrible, no pressure and had to leave it on full heat because adding any cold water changed the entire temperature to a trickle of cold ! They send you to a locker room to store your suitcases yourself on your day of checkout and charge $5 or $7 a locker to do so !! - terrible for a hotel to lower itself to do this.. Old air conditioners, the noisy ones. Old tv, not digital not many channels 5?. No free breakfast - that might have encouraged me to try it again in the future - but no.
Was very pleased with room and the comfort of the bed!!! Great sleep and really enjoyed the plasma tv Tv signal was broken / internittant in room 223
Convenience to city centre and trams
The hotel was comfortable, clean, and staff were polite. The wifi was unusable it was so slow.
Big thumbs up for the upgrade with the room. Staff very friendly and hotel handy to all the shops and nightlife. Very enjoyable stay and would come again All Good thanks
Very close to city and transport. Great central location. Queen bed was too firm. Also the air conditioning was not working properly - so room was too hot at night.
Great location, very comfortable, safe and quiet.
New room in south wing was very clean and comfortable and a good size. Staff helpful and friendly. Fantastic position in the city. We thought was comparitively good value for money. Views non-existent... this did not worry us.
A small cozy place in the southeast corner of downtown. Service is great. Just had breakfast in the restaurant but it was great. Tram stop is just outside the door. You are pretty close to just about everything. I travel quite a bit and this is probably the best hotel I've ever stayed. Has everything you need without going over the top. An outstanding business traveler hotel.
as a train traveller the proximity to the train station was excellent Shower over bath not suitable for older persons.
We enjoyed the position of the hotel.The service was exelent.Also the price.The gym was great. Missed not having a pool.
the fact it is across from Flinders St train station and close to the city
Great location and great staff The bed linen was not clean with hair and marks all over the doona.
comfortable bed. pleasant staff. clean room. the layout of the room - the door was situated opposite the bed. Result in lack of privacy whenever door was opened. No extra pillows in cupboard - only 1 pillow per person. Movie option on TV didn't work.
It was a great hotel to stay at. Really good service and staffPlease write at least 15 words
The service & hospitality was great. I really enjoyed my stay. Its close to everything too.
The position of the accomodation was very central for travel by train or tram. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The meal we had through room service wasn't very appetizing. I was extremely dissappointed with the house salad. We reserved a twin room but ended up with a king.
Doubletree at Flinders has all the makings of a being lovely hotel -- warm service, well-maintained rooms and in a very accessible location right next to the tram stops and Flinders Station. 3 major drawbacks -- a city centre hotel without free in-room wifi access [there is access at a prohibitive price] is really unacceptable in this digital age, and shows a shortsightedness one does not expect from a Hilton brand. Whether you're travelling on business or leisure in Melbourne, wifi access is a must as this is a city firmly in the digital age, and Doubletree shows it lack of vision by not being up to speed. The pillows were terribly poor quality -- flat, with all the fluffiness gone out of them. Made for a very uncomfortable sleep. Surprising as one would think Hilton would get this fundamental right. The area immediately around the hotel is dodgy -- with vagrants, drunks, homeless and the general underbelly of a city you hope not to see. Not much Doubletree can do about this, though, as it's a sacrifice you make for train access. But if you're a single traveller, and have to move about early morning or late at night, be careful. It may not be the best spot to be in.
The location of this hotel is perfect for trains,trams,city ,walking annywhere. The hotel is situated on a main road and opposite a train station but to our surprise once in your room there was no noise whatso ever. Rooms must be sound proofed and no noise in corridors. Wouls recommend this Hotel to everyone.
Location in the city of Melbourne is fantastic - access to public transport and right in the CBD. Well appointed room - small but very comfortable with modern amenities and decor.
The apartment was fantastic. It had everything we needed and very comfortably accommodated for the 4 of us.
Room size was fantastic and it was close to everything I needed. Walls were a little bit dirty
We were in Melb for 5 nights to catch up with family. The site was great 5 minute walk to river, rest and bars and from Flinders Station.
the room was amazing would definately stay there again..
The pool facilities where great and the proximity of the hotel was fine. Vesy noisy hotel at night , you can hear a lot of traffic noise.
The location of the apartment was great, really inner city and close to public transport with taxi rank and trams just down the street and train street just around the block Close time of the pool and spa as we could not access that facility after dinner
The staff gave great advice on where to shop, eat, transport and local sites.
It's in the CBD area The room was disgusting, felt like I was staying in a basement, the view was of a concrete parking lot. Cords and pipes hanging from the roof. The room had nothing going for it. Total disappointment
Spacious apartment, good ambience in excellent location for access to shops, river, great restaurants
Fabulous central location amongst galleries, cafes, restaurants and the boutique precinct. Easy distance walking from all transport including the free inner city tram loop. Noisy if other guests were loud
the rooms are a good size and comfortable. Close to shops and transport.
It was our first time in melbourne and the friendly staff couldn't help us enough. The room was ideal for us.
Upon arrival, we were upgraded from a two bedroom apt to three bedrooms. This gave our family plenty of space to enjoy our time in Melbourne i.e. we didn't feel the need to leave the apt so our energetic young boys (ages 5 & 3) could run around. Ample space for us all! The spacious bathroom was also an advantage for families. Being near street level, we were open to a certain amount of noise. Luckily, our boys stayed in the back bedroom (now that we could choose from 2 bedrooms for them). People in the upstairs apt were up late and there was plenty of noise on the balcony, partially due to the constant scraping of chairs. This would have woken my children had they slept in the front bedroom (Room 101). I was up late doing work so instead I had to deal with this disruption. My husband stated that he didn't hear anything once he went to bed in the middle room so I was pleased to hear that.
The staff were a great help, the room was an excellent size and very functional we were very impressed.
nothing - should have stayed at the Medina again Yes, The hotel did not have my reservation, made to fell like I was an inconvenience. I was put in a ground floor room that when anyone came in at night I was woken by what sounds like the people were in my room. Now I'm chasing $180.98 that was charged to my credit card after I left. I'm in the hospitality industry in Cairns & this has left a bitter taste.
Hotel was lovely and the rooms were a great size. Would definatly stay there again. Getting stuck in the elevator for 1 1/2 hours on the way to dinner not so great. Trying to sort out compensation of some kind at the moment.
Friendly Stadd and very helpful unlike Sydney (Darling Harbour)
The hotel was really nice. I would definitely recommend for a stay in Melbourne

San Francisco (AFP) May 23, 2012
A jury on Wednesday declared Google innocent of patent infringement in a high-stakes court battle pitting business software titan Oracle against the Internet giant.
In a unanimous decision, 10 jurors agreed that Oracle had failed to prove its claims that Google infringed on Java software patents in the Android operating software for smartphones and tablet computers.
The jury verdict derailed Oracle's quest to get more than a billion dollars in damages from Google.
Oracle accused Google of infringing on Java computer programming language patents and copyrights Oracle obtained when it bought Java inventor Sun Microsystems in a $7.4 billion deal in 2009.
Google has denied the claims and said it believes mobile phone makers and other users of its open-source Android operating system are entitled to use the Java technology in dispute.
Google unveiled the free Android operating system, which is widely used for mobile devices around the world, two years before Oracle bought Sun.
Lead Google attorney Robert Van Nest said, "We are grateful for the jury's verdict," as he left the San Francisco courtroom.
Oracle spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger said the company presented "overwhelming evidence" that Google "knew it would fragment and damage Java."
"We plan to continue to defend and uphold Java's core... and ensure it is protected for the nine million Java developers and the community that depend on Java compatibility," she said in a statement.
Jurors deliberated for nearly seven days in what US District Court Judge William Alsup said was longer than the time taken by jurors in any other civil trial he has presided over.
All jurors but one quickly sided with Google in the patent portion of deliberations, said 52-year-old juror Greg Thompson, who described himself as the lone holdout during deliberations.
"I eventually had to conclude the preponderance (of evidence requirement) hadn't been met even, though I could see strong value in Oracle's argument," he said.
"I think that a lot of us had an underlying feeling that something wasn't quite right about what Google did but within the confines of how we had to make our decision we weren't able to make it fit in a manner that came to a decision."
A copyright phase of the trial ended earlier this month with the same jury ruling that Google's Android operating system violated Java copyrights but deadlocked on whether it constituted "fair use" of the technology.
Thompson said he was one of three jurors who doubted whether Google's use of the copyrighted Java code was proper.
Jury selection was pivotal to the outcome, with technology-savvy members of the panel tough to convince to back a ruling that might "limit future expansion of what is seen as the common good of products," Thompson said.
If Google's use of copyrighted Java application programming interfaces (APIs) in Android was fair use, Oracle would deserve no damages from the Mountain View, California-based firm under the law.
The copyright verdict limited any damages Oracle could potentially win to a small amount allowed by law, at most. The verdict in the patent phase meant Google was liable for no damages in that regard.
Alsup canceled a planned damages phase of the trial and sent the jury home on Wednesday.
"I think it is fair to call the present result a near disaster for Oracle," said Stanford University law school teaching fellow Brian Love.
"In a case that started with potentially billions on the line, Oracle's maximum recovery right now might not be enough to cover two days worth of its attorneys' fees."
Google has asked for a new trial on the copyright portion of the case.
Adding to the complexity of the case, Alsup early on reserved the right to make the ultimate decision whether application programming interfaces (APIs) at issue in the first phase of the trial can even be copyrighted.
The judge could rule as early as next week.
Oracle's challenge of Google in court over copyrights was an unusual tactic being watched intently in Silicon Valley.
In the fast-paced land of Internet innovation, it has been common for software writers to put their own spins on APIs that mini-programs use to "talk" to one another.
The jury concluded that Google infringed on 37 copyrighted APIs but it also agreed that Google demonstrated that it was led to believe it did not need a license for using Java.
Julie Samuels of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said the case was a huge waste of resources in trying to copyright these tools.
"After spending what certainly amounts to tens of millions of dollars... both parties will have wasted untold resources that could have been dedicated to innovation instead," she said.
"It's a sad commentary on the state of intellectual property litigation that we even had to go down this road."

Adam Lambert is still explaining his American Music Award performance. Today he tells Ellen DeGeneres on her show, "I suppose part of what I got caught up in that I forgot this was the first time people were seeing me on TV again after Idol. I didn't really think about that as objectively as I might of wanted to."
He adds, "For me this has all been one journey and for me I was like, I'm going to try and do something a little risqué now and it just ya, know..."
When Ellen says, "A lot of people didn't like it," Adam replies: "It was maybe a little too far."
Ellen: "Do you feel that now? Do you feel it was too far?"
Adam: "I think in hindsight I look back on it and I go ok, maybe that wasn't the best first impression to make again, the first second impression. I mean I had fun up there, I had a good time, my dancers had fun and the band had fun. (Crowd applauded)..I respect people and feel like people walked away from that feeling disrespected. I would never intend to disrespect anybody. So that was not my intention."
People "aren't used to seeing gay man portrayed that way on TV," says Adam. "The gay male image in the media tends to be very clique and safe."
Adam says his father told him, "'maybe you should apologize Adam.' But he says, "I don't know. I was like, 'Ya know Dad, I don't feel like I did anything wrong it just wasn't maybe the right judgement call. It's a taste thing more than an obscenity thing. I think it's just a taste level.' "
As for ABC and GMA, he says they were "a little mad at me. ... I don't blame them. I got carried away it was stuff that I did not do in rehearsal so they were probably a little but taken a back. They gave me a great opportunity to close the "AMAs" and I would never want to smack that gift horse in the mouth. I think they were taking a leap of faith having me do that and it unfortunately it didn't work out as we all thought it would."

Optimising the Documentation Practices of an Ethics Consultation Service

A formal Ethics Consultation Service (ECS) can provide significant help to patients, families and hospital staff. As with any other form of clinical consultation, documentation of the process and the advice rendered is very important. Upon review of the published consult documentation practices of other ECSs, we judged that none of them were sufficiently detailed or structured to meet the needs and purposes of a clinical ethics consultation. Thus, we decided to share our method in order to advance the practice of ethics consultation. Here, we describe a method of ECS documentation practice, including use of a formal consult report template, as well as a log for maintaining a chronological record of the consultations performed. These two documents facilitate order and organisation of the ECS. They also enable the ECS to keep an account of professional time and experience, enable quick consult trend assessments (by consult theme or ward, for example) and establish a potential registry of consults for future research study. This method of documentation, we believe, not only contributes significantly to the primary purpose of the consultation-namely, the evincing and sharing of ethical opinion about a case-but also enables consultants to improve their practice and to pursue research on clinical ethics consultation.

best way in the sports shop. That is a fact. Love these. Many thanks. Best things my feet have been treated too for a long time. Look good, very comfy and fab pricing I recommend these folks. Thinking of buying another pair in a different colour. Wish I'd have bought these years ago. No more smelly gym bag and not an overpowering odour. A must have for any gym goer or runner. This product was absolutely useless. I bought it to get rid of the smell of leather for my new bag. I left it in for weeks and it still didn't work. So I do not recommend it at all. Excellent This case is amazing !! It fits the iPhone 5c perfectly, is easy to take on and off and feels lovely. The design works great, showing off the colour of the phone back. It even comes with a screen protector with clear instructions of how to fit it without getting any bubbles. It's so nice when you buy something and it exceeds your expectations. This case is perfect quality, it shows off the colour of the 5c which is exactly what I wanted. It arrived very quickly as well and was cheaper and better quality then the one i bought with my phone! Highly recommended! Great case - really fun, and I like being able to see th Montpelier ordered a size 5 there plenty of room in them not tight so ok for a wider foot without being too big. really comfy, no blisters, only slight issue is u cant wear trainer socks with them as the tongue sits quite low at the front and socks are very visible. but good value for money. happy with my buy Excellent value, very comfortable. Excellent value for money and just what I needed for a forthcoming holiday on a boat as they are flat These polka dot shoes are very comfortable and are very suitable for using on the beach but not suitable as a gym shoes they would not be allowed in schools but for personal useful they are great. i had the casuals for my holidays and i walked miles in them will be ordering them again soon These are my first pair of slip-on Vans. I chose the all black one. They took just a couple of hours of wearing in. I really like them. They look great with jeans and very comfortable to walk in. Enthusiastically recommended Bought these for my teenage daughter. Excellent fit, product and packaging. Nice thick soles and arrived complete with Vans marked shoe box (which, in my opinion, i best pressure cooker absolute best part is the sound when you walk. Yes i know that is a ridiculous reason to buy a pair of shoes, but nothing gives me greater pleasure than the clop clop sound they make when i walk in them.They say if you have the right shoes you walk taller, and i most definitely walk taller in these.I love them.. Love these Clarks brogues and now own 3 pairs. Love that these are a little out of the ordinary with the leather/suede combo. Perfect for smart if needed, but great too with jeans, dresses, or anything else for that matter. This is a very good winter shoe, but since I live in the sun most of the time, my feet tend to get very hot. Of course this is not a fault of the manufacturing, but it is a winter sho www.martiblair.com eek later and heard nothing the left slipper was so uncomfortable I suspect they sent two right slippers. I saw what I've got and scared. Top of inconvenience! Materials hard to define but if there is some wool then I have never seen a real wool. Size received at least two numbers larger then ordered... Suitable for a present to people you hate... Absolutely unusable item :((( Disappointed very much! i bought these slippers to keep my feet warm of.
best rated dishwashers d def recommend.Only lost a star as this pair seem v big& won't fit my boy for few months yet even tho he's 13months& very big for his age.
These shoes stay on despite my 7 month old's constant kicking. Just what I've been looking for, very soft leather baby shoes. Still a touch big which is what I expected since it's a size 6-12mos, at least my baby will get a lot of wear out of these. Good value for money.Thank you for the superfast delivery...arrived within 2 days! Earlier than expected.
These shoes look ace and are so soft. Unfortunately did not fit my babies feet...
Lovely leather slippers, they look gorgeous on my little boy. k 12hr shifts on my feet for 14hrs a day constant found these shoes and im very happy i would have given 5 stars but i found them to be a bit on the big side i always take a size 4 but with these shoes a 3 would have been a better fit for me but the comfort of the shoes is wonderful i just wear a thicker sock i will definatley purchase again
I've ordered size 7, think maybe 6.5 would be ideal, still they do a good job, comfy (I work in a cafe, on foot all day), light, easy and quick to put on and take off as I w www.theexpedition.org on not a good buy especially as i had paid for next day delivery too so £17 all in, false economy buying cheaper shoes really when you could have bought the quality ones for double the price (which i did but no next day delivery) still she has something to play in the park with so it aint all bad.
This item was purchased as a school shoe and was scuffed beyond looking smart after 3 weeks. Other shoes purchased have lasted months
great purchase hard wearing and my daughter loves them i took a chance and it paid off will definately look at future offers
They are very good, will defo buy them again, such shoes, my granddaughter wares them every day two school, not one mark on them
these were fantastic and very good value for money i was very pleased with them but not really for school
I bought these for my daughter in 2 colours ready to take on our www.edueuro.com ast delivery is there anything else I could say . . No I don't think so
Bought shoes for work, very comfortable, modern design & great to be able to buy the shoes in the half size, makes a big difference to me.
I have been wearing skechers for the last 5 years, I've bought both trainers and shoe's and can honestly say I have yet to be disapointed with any of the pairs I have worn. It is the only manufacturer that designs and produces style's and materials that I actually like, formal and informal all rolled into one. I bought this pair for work over trousers, but they are equally just as at home with jeans. Very comfortable and easy to keep clean with a dust and polish. The price's are high, but keep yours eyes open and you can get 20-40.
meaning in hindi dictionary cellent grip and kept my feet dry as expected. Not saying there is any cause and effect, but first round with these I shot 38 through 9 holes, previous round (in trainers) I shot 92.... must be the shoes!!! Well worth the 20 odd quid.
Very good value for money. Probably will not last long but you get what you pay for. No complaint from me.
Speedy delivery. Excellent product. Great price. What more can I say! Sizing is spot on and looks much more expensive than they are.
Great looking shoe, smart enough for every day use, light in weight BUT far too small, very disappointed and had to send back to Pavers
Having recently had surgery on my foot I have great difficulty with getting shoes to fit that are comfortable. I find these ideal for me personally due to they fit just up above the top of the toe area and are nice and roomy around the front of the foot. I think they are a perfect fit and quite true to size. I also think they are good value for money as at the end of the day you get what you pay for. This is my first pair I have purchased so will be ordering another pair in another colour.
Unfortunately they were too small for me. Loved the matoned and I felt I was walking on a very hard surface. In the end I had to take the in soles out of my old pair just to get through my shift.Amazon kindly agreed to let me return them.
These were an emergency purchase as school shoes and have received a big thumbs up after the first day's wear of just over 8 hours. No blisters, no sore or wet feet and although a bit muddy easily cleaned and looking great for tomorrow. I should add that my daughter has a high instep and needs a wider fitting and finding shoes that fit are often nigh on impossible.Mum and daughter very happy!!
I have no complaints about these sketchers. Had a few pairs of s hot rollers should always be bought. Good quality and good discounts, which manages to hit the ...
Excellent footwear perfect fit for me. and also cheap on amazon compare to Debenhams. I use it for work and it serves me well. Surely recommends to anyone
I am very pleased with the excellent quality shoe purchase - a very handsome and comfortable shoes. Also, the dimensions of the user's size.
Nowhere near a smart shoe but very comfortable from the moment I wore them and great for when walking my dogs.
Just what I wanted - only reason not 5 star is cos I can't get terribly excited about shoe brushes!!
These brushes give your shoes a very good finish.Mine look like they've been polished by a professional. I'm so pleased with these brushes.My old shoes look brand new.Thanks a lot.
Exactly what it says on the tin, brushes are good and the cloth is always a bonus. good price, decent brushes. would recommend.
I like to have shiny, clean footw Louis Vuitton Purse aving worn this type of shoe for over 15 years, this was my first pair made by columbia footwear that i have bought and what a difference no pinching toes no pain on the arch of my feet. i will be replacing all my walking shoes with these in the very near future.Without a doubt the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn.
I noticed on other reviews the shoes were a little on the narrow side fit, so I knew they would be a good fit for a lady with slightly wider fitting ladies shoe.

One of the most physically intimidating (6 ft 8 in (2.03 m)) hitters in the sport, he was named the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1960, and went on to lead the American League in home runs and total bases twice each and in slugging average, runs batted in and walks once each. His 382 career home runs were the eighth most by a right-handed hitter when he retired; his 237 home runs in a Washington uniform are a record for any of that city's several franchises, as are his 1969 totals of 48 HRs and 340 total bases. His Washington/Texas franchise records of 1,172 games, 4,120 at bats, 246 HRs, 1,141 hits, 701 RBI, 544 runs, 155 doubles, 2,074 total bases and a .503 slugging average have variously been broken by Jim Sundberg, Toby Harrah and Juan González.

GIGABYTE's new AIO features full-sized GPU slot
Computex 2016 - GIGABYTE has a sweet looking new AIO for your system building pleasure. Dubbed the HKC X320 Plus, it features an R1800 Samsung curved panel, ultra thin PIO, a full-sized GPU slot, a backcover that's easy to take apart and put back together, and USB 3.0 support. Oh, and if you're worried about heat (as you should always be), it accommodates natural dissipation on top, while negative pressure dissipates the heat on bottom.
The display is your stock 1920x1080 60Hz, but interestingly, the panel is VA, which generally makes for good viewing angles, blacks, and contrast compared to other popular panels, but poor response times and ghosting. Response time here is GTG 8ms, while colour is measured at 10.7B; viewing angle is measured at 178 degrees both vertically and horizontally.
Hit the jump for more photographs and supported hardware. There's no word yet on launch date or pricing, but stay tuned.

MSI wants to put a GTX 1080 in its new VR PC backpack
Computex 2016 - MSI is the latest to join the VR PC backpack craze with a new prototype model that essentially lets uses strap high-end PC hardware to their back for portable VR gaming.
The aim of MSI's new VR backpack--and others like it--is to abolish the irksome cords that tether VR users to desktop PCs, thereby making the experience much more mobile. Now that your hardware is on your back, there's no worry about tripping over cords while wearing room-tracking HMD's like the HTC Vive. The form factor for MSI's backpack is actually smaller than mini-ITX, but it supports full desktop-grade video cards like the GTX 980. In fact, MSI plans to slot in desktop-sized NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and NVIDIA's new VR powerhouse the GeForce GTX 1080 into the backpack.
MSI has yet to fully announce the VR PC backpack and the hardware is still in its early stages. The unit demoed to press was a sample, and sported an Intel Skylake Core i7 K-series processor paired up with a desktop-grade NVIDIA GTX 980. Users will also be able to swap out and upgrade hardware components like video cards and power supplies. The demo unit provided about 90 minutes of VR gaming on a single charge, but the backpack can be plugged into a wall socket to continue gaming.

ASUS crams a pair of GTX 1080s into beastly ROG G31 Edition 10 PC
Computex 2016 -- TweakTown is on the ground in Taipei for Day 0 of Computex 2016, and we just stumbled across a new, currently unannounced system from ASUS that stuffs a pair of NVIDIA's Pascal-based GTX 1080 video cards into its small-form-factor frame. Say hello to the ROG G31 Edition 10 PC.
While you drool over the eyecandy potential that a pair of GTX 1080s brings to the table, we'll tell you that the ROG G31 also contains an Intel Core i7 CPU (likely the 6700K) and up to 64GB of RAM, though we're not yet sure if it's DDR3 or DDR4.

ASUS teases the Ghost Rider custom PC at Computex 2016
Computex 2016 - We snuck into the Nangang halls earlier today to get a sneak peak at the goods being displayed at Computex this year, and one of our first visits was the huge ASUS booth.
ASUS were showing off plenty of gear, but they weren't completely done yet. Something that they did have setup was the latest version of their Ghost Rider PC, which looked absolutely awesome. It has three huge skulls at the top, and a beastly custom design that looks like it was pulled directly out of DOOM.
ASUS's ultra-thin ZenBook 3 is twice as fast as a MacBook
Computex 2016 - ASUS has just revealed its new ZenBook 3 at the Zenvolution event in Taipei.
The ZenBook 3 is a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook, with an incredibly thin 11.9 mm lightweight frame and powerful specs that beats the MacBook's performance two-to-one. ASUS's Johnny Shih boasts that the ZenBook 3 is "the world's most prestigious laptop," with onboard specs ranging up to an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM, and a 1TB PCIE SSD. The sleek laptop features a 12.5-inch display and is powered by the "world's thinnest" 3mm fan for cooling.
The ZenBook 3 also sports fast-charging capabilities with built-in Thunderbolt 3/USB-C support. ASUS affirms the laptop can jump from a depleted charge up to 60% in just 49 minutes flat, with overall battery life ranging from 9 hours of use. The ASUS ZenBook 3 has three different pricing tiers: $999 for the Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 256GB SSD; $1,499 for the Intel Core i7 CPU and 512GB SSD; and $1,999 for the Intel Core i7, 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM and 1TB SSD variant.

Google Chromebooks outshipped Apple Macs in the US in the last quarter
Most people would think that Apple has a decent handle on Mac sales in the US, but this quarter the company was beaten by Chromebook sales.
Market research firm IDC has said that Apple sold 1.76 million Macs in the US in the last quarter, and while it was up from the 1.56 million units in the same quarter as 2015, it didn't beat out Chromebook shipments. IDC only breaks down PC shipments by manufacturer, so it's hard to know how many more Chromebooks were sold, we just know it was 'more'.
Chromebooks have been especially popular for education purposes and those on lighter budgets, as Apple Macs can range from thin-and-light notebooks, all the way through to workstation-class desktops. Chromebooks are mostly low-cost laptops from various companies, with Apple's closest competitor being the iPad. This quarter, Apple sold 10.3 million iPads in the US, not bad at all.
ZOTAC unveils two new Windows 10-powered stick PCs
ZOTAC impressed me a few hours ago with their GeForce GTX 1080 PGF for the Chinese market, but the company has also just unveiled their new Windows 10-powered stick PCs.
The new ZOTAC ZBOX PI220 and PI221 are powered by quad-core Intel Atom X5-Z8300 processor clocked at 1.44GHz (and it bursts up to 1.84GHz). There's also Intel HD Graphics with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and 32GB of eMMC storage - which is expandable through microSD/SDHC/SDXC.
The new ZOTAC ZBOX stick PCs feature an HDMI connector, 1 x USB 3.0 port, a 10/100 Ethernet jack, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. ZOTAC will include a universal power adapter, a recovery disk, an HDMI extension cable, and a detachable external antenna. The PI221 is passively cooled, while the PI220 is a little more fancy, cooled by something ZOTAC calls a "SmartFan" system. The passively cooled ZBOX measures in at 131.38mm x 42.5mm x 17mm while the model with the fan checks in at 131.5mm x 42.2mm x 15.8mm.

Acer introduces new Predator 17X and G1 gaming laptop and desktop
Acer just announced their Predator G1 gaming desktop, which is much smaller than the slightly older siblings, making it portable enough to take along with you to those ancient LAN parties. The best news is that the redesigned case is only smaller, and doesn't sacrifice anything other than space. Their newest gaming laptop, the Predator 17X also made an appearance with updated internals, fast ones too.
If you feel like, you're able to configure this with up to an NVIDIA Titan X, a Skylake K series chip and 64GB of DDR4 RAM. Of course in the storage region you'll be able to have 512GB of solid state storage or even throw in a 4TB HDD for good measure. Essentially what Acer has done with the new, smaller, G1 is take the internals from the larger G6 and stuff them into a smaller case. The case is attractive, too, with customizable lighting and sleek lines that definitely speak the gamer language, but in a sophisticated way. The new G1 is also completely VR ready with it's powerful internals.
The Predator 17X gaming laptops is the follow-on replacement to last years 17-inch powerhouse and comes with the option for up to a 4K screen, a completely unlocked, and overclockable, Skylake i7-6820HK and up to 64GB of DDR4 with an NVIDIA 980 coming along of the ride. Storage options include 512GB NVMe enabled drives and room for 4TB of storage. It packs Thunderbolt 3, just in case you're thinking about external GPU solutions too. With the potential for so much heat in such a small area, Acer has developed a three-fan setup that sucks in copious amounts of air from the side and then rushes it to through the back. It's portable, sort of.

Maingear's new 15-inch mobile workstation combines Xeons and Maxwell
Maingear just added a new 15-inch portable workstation to their lineup of portable powerhouses. The new Pulse 15 Pro combines NVIDIA's Quadro M2000M professional graphics with Intel's mobile Xeon's to make for a very productive, yet thin, mobile workstation.
Maingear has stuffed a lot of fast technology into a very small package with the new Pulse 15 Pro. It's only .75-inches thick but has an Intel Xeon E3-1505M running at 2.6GHz installed with up to 16GB of ECC enabled DDR4-2133MHz RAM and can have up to two Samsung 950 Pro NVMe enabled M.2 drives in RAID 0 for some insane read and write speeds. The shining star, of course, is the Quadro M2000M with 4GB of RAM with 640 CUDA cores capable of accelerating any OpenCL or CUDA workload you might run across. That can drive up to a 4K (2160P) IPS screen. As with all of Maingears products, you can choose from a variety of paint schemes where they apply automotive grade paint to the top cover. This all starts at a $2549.
The idea is that content creators and professionals of all types can use this to properly edit 4K video while on the go. It's also quite useful for anyone that needs a bit of power and the safety of ECC memory. "The Pulse 15 Pro will offer even the most demanding creative professional, with incredible processing power, blazing speed and impeccable graphics performance," said Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of MAINGEAR. "With 4K video so easily accessible, even some of the most powerful machines can 'hiccup' when rendering it, however we've built this new workstation to effortlessly power through it."

About the Book
This collection of images was created for my sister Laura. She is battling breast cancer. When Laura told me she was participating in a study on the use of guided imagery during chemotherapy I sensed that I could help, despite being thousands of miles away from her. The original box of twenty prints I sent her to meditate with has grown into this collection.
It is my hope this book provides some escape, a reprieve, for others battling cancer to help them on their journey.
Please note that colors in the online preview are brighter than in the printed copy due to technological differences in the two media. The book has been optimized for print.

President before election
Joseph O'Hara
Liberal Democrat
Elected President
Joseph O'Hara
Liberal Democrat
The 1996 Presidential Election in the Republic of Superior was the fourth held in its history, with the major opponents being Joseph O'Hara, the Liberal Democratic President, for the Liberal Democratic Party, and Congressman Robert P. Griffin of Schoolcraft, Former Speaker of the House and House Minority Leader, for the Conservative Party. Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Mackinaw, Socialist House Leader, and a former Liberal Democratic Congressman, ran for the Socialists. O'Hara's victory was never really in question, as he led for the entire campaign, riding the goodwill he had gained following the admission of Mackinaw to the union, while that same event hurt Griffin in several areas and hindered the Socialists, for the Liberal Democrats were seen as responsible for its admission by its residents, despite the Socialists having campaigned for its admission for years.
Liberal Democratic Nomination
- President Joseph R. O'Hara, Delta
- Vice-President Stan Gruszynski, Menominee
The convention was held from August 28th-30th, 1996, in Mackinaw.
Both candidates received their nominations unanimously, as the only person likely to oppose them, Dennis Kucinich, had left the party after 1992 and joined the Socialists.
Conservative Nomination
- Congressman Robert P. Griffin, Schoolcraft, Former Speaker of the House and House Minority Leader
- Governor Randy Sarick, Marquette
- Congressman Leroy S. Atlas, Menominee, 1984 VP Candidate
- Senator Horatio Weston, Ontonagon
- Retired General Lewis Poulat, Ontonagon, 1992 Presidential Candidate
The Conservative party in the lead-up to the election found itself divided into two wings: those who supported the admission of Mackinaw, and those who had opposed it. While its admission largely rendered the dispute a moot point, it turned into a conflict over immigration and the direction of the nation, one view wanting expansion and the other frowning on the idea.
Those in opposition to the annexation were led by House Minority Leader Robert P. Griffin, who had attempted a filibuster against the annexation, while those in favor were led by Randy Sarick, Governor of Marquette.
In a hard-fought primary season, it became quickly apparent that Griffin was the only real candidate that had been against the annexation, easy beating the discredited Poulat, and that a slim majority of Conservatives agreed with his views. Those in favor of the annexation were divided between several candidates. All told, this led to Griffin holding a majority of delegates going into the convention.
At the convention, Griffin easily gained the nomination. In an effort to even out the ticket, and to satisfy his primary opponents, he made it known that he wanted, despite his own personal misgivings and the platform they would be running under, one of the pro-annexation candidates to be the vice-presidential nominee. Governor Sarick easily defeated the other pro-annexation candidates for the position, with the thought that it would establish him for the 2000 elections.
The convention was held from August 19th-21st, 1996, in Marquette.

Socialist Nomination
- Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Mackinaw, Socialist House Leader
- Mayor Arlen Tompkins, Escanaba, 1992 VP Candidate
- State Commissioner Peter Denley, Chippewa
- Congressman Mike Prusi, Marquette
In 1996, the Socialist Party found itself with nearly the same choices as in 1992. For the first time, they ran primary elections in each state and territory as well, all done by proportional representation. As promised to then-Councillor Tompkins, the convention was held in Escanaba too. About the only major difference between 1996 and 1992 was that Congressman Kucinich had formally joined the party and gotten elected, and was running rather than now-Congressman Strom.
Riding a wave of support following the admission of Mackinaw to the union, something which he had been one of the earliest and most vocal supporters of, Kucinich achieved a narrow majority of delegates in the primaries on the backs of territorial, Mackinawin and ex-refugee members of the party. He also had the support of the party leadership, who believed that Kucinich, well-known throughout the republic, would allow them to increase their vote drastically, though they would eventually prove to be mistaken.
At the convention, Kucinich was nominated on the first ballot. After three ballots, now-Mayor Tompkins was named the vice-presidential candidate over Congressman Prusi, riding his support among the locals to victory.
The convention was held from July 8th-10th, 1996, in Escanaba.

Campaign, and the Election
By and large, O'Hara had the election sewn up the whole time, and rode a wave of support and popularity to victory. Overall, however, the election was considered by both pundits and the voters to be what amounted to a referendum on the admission of Mackinaw to the union, even though now that it had been admitted, it could not be taken out. It also showed that, while a slim majority of Republicans opposed the admission, a large majority of the overall population supported it and what it meant, leading to a change of the guard in the Conservative Party.
Perhaps the biggest issues were the ongoing fighting in Madison, and what the Republic should do about it, and the question of expansion, and how it should be done. The Socialists opposed intervention, the Conservatives desired it, and the Liberal Democrats were split. And with regards to the issue of how to expand, the Liberal Democrats and Socialists stood by the Dunn-King-Theriualt Act, while the Conservatives sought to modify it with regards to refugees and gaining citizenship.
In the end, the predicted result occurred: O'Hara won the election by about six points. The Socialist Party dropped one point, however - while Kucinich was indeed well-known, so was the President, and the voters considered him, not Kucinich, to be responsible for admitting Mackinaw to the Union. However, their net total still increased, in a good sign for the party. Out of a total estimated voting population of 456,051, 88.41%, or 403,196 people, voted, buoyed by very high returns in Mackinaw.

Any advice???
I ate almond butter with raw honey on sprouted bread as a snack while pregnant with DD and it was awesome--satisfied my sweet tooth with the raw honey, I got high quality protein that left me feeling full for awhile and the bread satisfied my carb craving. Its a very healthy snack as well.
You might also want to try protein shakes to help with feeling full. Also, try not to stress too much. I gained around 55 lbs with my daughter and it all came off within 4 months, mostly from breastfeeding. I've heard many similar stories.
My wife (31) and I (33) were married in 2006. We are proud queer mamas to W, born Oct 2013, conceived at home IVI via frozen WTBK donor sperm. Planning on TTC #2 starting in Sept 2015 through the same method. I am/will be the gestational mom.
I think i am starving all the time now too. I have been making sure to drink tons of water but still i'm hungry. I have been using veggies dipped in hummus or home made black bean "dip" to tide me over between meals. I have noticed that the more protein i eat, the longer I stay feeling full.
Hey Danielle!! I am wondering if you're lacking protein as well. I am vegetarian and I know when I start craving sweets it is usually my body's indicator that I need more protein. That said, I have craved fruit, especially berries, like mad this entire pregnancy thus far. While often hard to do, unless your healthcare provider has said otherwise, I think I'd worry less about weight gain and focus more on eating more protein rich snacks and meals. Obviously this is not the time to deprive yourself. You are in another big growth spurt right now and it is perfectly normal to be hungry, very hungry, very often.
I am a Mama who

Yesterday investors witnessed an impressive presentation of what can happen to a stock price when investor expectations change. J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP), the struggling department store chain pushed into public spotlight by Bill Ackman, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pershing Square, delivered what most people thought was impossible or least unlikely: Great quarterly results including positive comparable store sales growth as well as a very encouraging guidance for the rest of the year.
Behavioral investing
I want to highlight the importance of behavioral investing concepts when it comes to an investment in a hated turnaround company such as J.C. Penney. A few months back I wrote about the misconceptions that surround a J.C. Penney investment. Particularly, I questioned the negativity surrounding J.C. Penney driven by Wall Street's unenlightening obsession with short-term results. Unfortunately, little has changed on Wall Street: Struggling companies are usually expected to deliver operational and financial improvements sooner than later and are also implicitly expected to outperform consensus estimates.
On November 17, 2013 I wrote the article 'J.C. Penney: A Multi-Bagger Contrarian Turnaround Investment' in which I specifically argued that J.C. Penney had outstanding contrarian value for long-term investors who want to ride the entire recovery cycle because of an irritating amount of negativity aimed at J.C. Penney [paragraph reproduced for your convenience]:
As usual, Mr. Market bathes in negativity when a company goes through change. This is not surprising because the human condition is more receptive to negative rather than positive thinking. As a contrarian I always think it is a good time to buy when the overwhelming majority of investors agree on just how bad an investment is. I also argue that Ackman's sale of J.C. Penney stock should not be seen as a negative vote on J.C. Penney's value and future earnings prospects or the viability of a sustainable turnaround. His share sale was likely precipitated by the fact that his influence on the board and his capacity to enact change was greatly reduced. My experience with restructurings and post-reorganization equities shows, that a company oftentimes turns around just when the majority of investors have given up.
Fourth quarter results highlight turnaround success
Yesterday, J.C. Penney delivered fourth quarter 2013 results that not only beat analyst EPS expectations but also signaled that the company is on a solid way to turn its business around. Yesterdays' results presentation included five main take-aways that were responsible for driving J.C. Penney's extremely strong after-hours share performance:
- Same store sales increased 2% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
- Holiday sales were up 3.1% in November/December.
- J.C. Penney's gross margin improved from 23.8% in Q4 2012 to 28.4% in Q4 2013.
- Most importantly, J.C. Penney released an optimistic outlook for 2014: J.C. Penney expects comparable store sales to increase 3-5% in the first quarter of 2014 and 'mid single digits' in 2014 -- a stunning projection. The department store chain also anticipates 'a significantly improved gross margin' in 2014.
- J.C. Penney's 2014 guidance suggests that the company will hold $2 billion or more in liquidity on its balance sheet at the end of the year alleviating cash shortfall fears.
These results certainly hit home yesterday. J.C. Penney just redefined investor expectations after a series of quarterly disappointments. Not surprisingly, the stock price of J.C. Penney has been going through the roof in after-hours trading (see further below).
Myron E. Ullman, III, Chief Executive Officer of J.C. Penney commented fourth quarter results:
With the most challenging and expensive parts of the turnaround behind us, we will focus on improving gross margin, managing expense and steadily growing our sales in 2014. Our strategic plan seeks to enhance performance across all of the key drivers of our business: merchandising, marketing, store experience, jcp.com, our teams, and our operations. The goal is to deliver consistently improving financial results, and to restore JC Penney as a leader in American retail.
Other notable financial results
For the three months ended February 1, 2014 the company reported net sales of $3.8 billion vs. $3.9 billion in last year's fourth quarter -- down 2.6% y-o-y. J.C. Penney's gross margin, however, increased 16.2% to $1.1 billion compared to $924 million a year ago. Total operating expenses decreased a whopping 27.4% to $1.2 billion from $1.7 billion in Q4 2012 while SG&A expenses took an unexpected 17% dive down to $1.0 billion compared to $1.2 billion in Q4 2012. JCP's Q4 2013 adjusted diluted EPS came in at ($0.68) vs. ($1.95) last year and vs. analyst expectations of ($0.87).
Share performance
Like many other distressed security investments, a large part of yesterdays gains are attributable to psychological factors. Investors usually don't believe in a turnaround until they see it. Many times I have heard investors argue that they remain skeptical of an investment until they see bottom line profits, improved cash flow, a successful refinancing etc. But investing doesn't work like that: Investors get paid for absorbing risk. Once the operational/financial metrics of a company have improved, the majority of share gains have likely already accrued.
Fourth quarter results and especially J.C. Penney's guidance clearly surprised the market which is why the department store chain gained a whopping 20% yesterday -- combined percentage gain in regular trading and after-hours trading. I expect further momentum in today's session since the market had an entire night to digest J.C. Penney's performance results and optimistic sales forecast.
J.C. Penney delivered bombshell results yesterday. Despite revenue declines, which were expected, the company delivered what many doubted it could: Positive store sales growth, substantial declines in SG&A and operating expenses, a higher gross margin, a fundamentally improved outlook with respect to this year's gross margin, comparable store sales growth and a solid liquidity guidance.
J.C. Penney is still a great turnaround investment and has the potential to deliver multiple returns on invested capital if sales momentum gains traction in 2014 and beyond. Strong contrarian, long-term BUY.
Disclosure: I am long JCP. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Solo: A James Bond Novel by William Boyd
I yield to few in my admiration for William Boyd, so I take no pleasure in reporting that he hasn't even come close to pulling this off. They're tricky assignments, these Bond continuation missions, picking up from where Ian Fleming set down his pen almost 50 years ago. Not because Fleming was much of a writer — he really was quite bad — but because of the iconic status of the character he created. That status relies in part on attributes — snobbery, sexism, imperialism — long since considered unacceptable in polite society.
