			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>While I don&#8217;t usually spend too much time viewing or analyzing commercials on the &#8220;tube&#8221;, I did view a <span class="caps">TIDE</span> detergent commercial that I felt was sending the wrong message.</p>

	<p>It shows a teenage girl asking her mother if she has seen her green blouse. The screen shows the Mom flashback to where she (the Mom) is wearing the blouse and had spilled something on it that left a stain. No big deal right? Just tell your daughter you borrowed it but will clean it right away with your great <span class="caps">TIDE</span> product&#8230;nope. The Mom in the Commercial lies to her daughter and says she has not seen it. The commercial goes on to show the Mom wash that bad stain out of the nice green blouse with the great <span class="caps">TIDE</span> detergent. The ending has the daughter being asked by the Mom &#8220;oh, I see you found your top&#8221; Daughter &#8220;Yes, must have been hiding in my closet somewhere&#8221;.</p>

	<p>What kind of message is Proctor and Gamble thinking they are sending to the Mothers and daughters of the world? It is O.k. to lie to your children yet you raise your children not to lie to you? This commercial message is ultimately wrong and misguided. I am not sure who P&#38;G hires to do these commercials but the marketing department for Proctor and Gamble should have realized this was not the message their Company or brand should be portraying and rejected it.</p>

	<p>I will be sending a note to P&#38;G this week and let them know my thoughts. I doubt it will make a difference at all but maybe suggesting my wife change her brand of detergent might.</p>

	<p>Stand for something or fall for anything.</p>

	<p>Regards,</p>

	<p>Larry J Clark</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><img class="alignright" style="float: left; border: 2px solid black; margin: 5px;" src="http://www.larryclarkblog.com/images/Redwoods_deer.jpg" alt="Redwoods Golf Course-Deer" width="267" height="152" /> I was invited by one of the owners of <a title="Laratta Homes Calgary" href="http://www.larattahomes.com" target="_blank"><strong>Laratta Homes</strong></a>, Tony, to join him for a round of golf at <strong><a title="Redwood Meadows Golf Course-Calgary" href="http://www.redwoodmeadows.com/" target="_blank">Redwood Meadows Golf</a> Course</strong> in Calgary.</p>

	<p>This was my first round of golf I have played in over a year and the very first since I moved back to Calgary. I got there early so I decided to hit some balls at the range. At first it was not pretty and very inconsistent and I am sure the regular members of the Redwoods were probably thinking &#8220;who is this guy?&#8221;. I started to get back in the swing of things and felt more confident.</p>

	<p>Then came the putting green..ugly and then the first drive. Straight left into the trees about 50 yards out! <span class="caps">YIKES</span>! Now I am sure Tony and the others in the foresome were probably thinking&#8230;&#8221;who invited him?&#8221; I managed to get a few good drives in during the round and even one birdie on a par 4. Broke a hundred but just barely. The good news is I really love to golf so I was not dissuaded, the course was in excellent condition, the leg held up right up to the last 2 holes and there was a buck deer feeding on one of the picturesque par 3&#8217;s. (picture above)</p>

	<p>I hope to get more rounds in this year and adapt to my new surroundings here in Calgary.</p>

	<p>Regards,</p>

	<p>Larry J Clark</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I am sure you probably heard this quote before&#8230;&#8221; if you don&#8217;t stand for something you will fall for anything&#8221;.</p>

	<p>I am beginning to believe it is time for us to start standing p for what we believe is right. I am now writing responses in the news paper editorials to voice my opinion of what is being written. Now I know that opinions are like belly buttons&#8230;everyone has them, but I am seeing the news media indoctrinating the readers with &#8216;their&#8217; slants on Government, politics and moral values. The main issue I see is that there is little or no opposition not many people standing up for what is right.</p>

	<p>I am not saying what I believe is right or right for you, what I am saying is that if you have heart led belief that opposes what you see is a wrong direction for humanity and for this Country, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">don&#8217;t stay silent.</span> Silence has caused this Country to move in directions that our founding fathers and politicians had warned us not to go. Some may call it progress or &#8216;tolerance&#8217; but I call it inaction. Hey, count me in as one who stood back numerous times in the past and took no action but complained about the outcome. Not any more.</p>

	<p>I will know oppose those decisions/opinions I believe are wrong and morally corrupt this Country I live in. I want to continue to sing <strong>&#8220;God keep this Land Glorious and Free&#8221;.</strong></p>

	<p>You may disagree with everything I have just said in this. Excellent&#8230;voice your opposition and opinion. We may agree to disagree but at least you stood for something.</p>

	<p>To the majority voices rising up for what is right&#8230;</p>

	<p>Kind Regards,</p>

	<p>Larry J Clark</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I really enjoy helping people with Marketing and Sales advice. It is truly rewarding when you can take a poor performing website or marketing plan and transform it into a productive one quickly. This being said, introducing my services to someone new can be a bit daunting.</p>

	<p>I feel I do a good job of explaining what I do and what I charge. I preface it with some real advice based on my experience, actual cases and reviewing the potential clients website or service. Here&#8217;s my dilemma&#8230;some people want me to give them everything they need over the phone in 15 minutes. I usually pass the point where I am giving out too much free advice for no remuneration. I equate it with trying to sell someone a cake by giving away the whole bakery. Not any more.</p>

	<p>If someone contacts me , they know they need help and believe I can help them. I have proven testimonials and examples and if that is not enough to get them to spend $125.00 for an hour of advice that can increase their online/business presence instantly, then I am of the opinion I am not the person for them.</p>

	<p>Hey, I like free advice and have gotten allot myself. I have also had no problem paying good money for great wisdom and I have benefited greatly from it many times over. I want to attract the &#8216;BIG&#8217; thinkers who want to take their business past the &#8216;next level&#8217; and who want to dominate their Industry.</p>

	<p>&#8220;Sometimes you have to kiss allot of frogs to find a prince&#8221; ...So be it.</p>

	<p>Take this advice and learn from it&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I was reflecting on this time of my life closing in on 50 years on this planet. I will hit the big 50 this week, which really is not a big deal for me. Hitting 40 really didn&#8217;t make an impact either. I think it has to do with perspective.</p>

	<p>When I became a born again Christian at 21, I knew then as I know now, that my life here was temporary and better things await in Heaven. My faith has never wavered and is even stronger now. My biggest concern is to whether I have accomplished what I need to accomplish up to now and are there better things ahead in the next stage of my life? I believe there is.</p>

	<p>After selling my Company last year, it has been a bit of a struggle trying to &#8221; fit in&#8221;. What I mean by that is that is I know my strengths lie in Marketing and Sales, but is that where I should be? I am working now on some contract and consulting here in Calgary and I really enjoy being creative and helping clients with Web Marketing. I am good at it and have been very successful doing it. There still seems to be something missing if you know what I mean.</p>

	<p>Being 50 reduces the already small time left here on the planet to accomplish all that God had intended for me. I want to make sure that I am where I need to be and doing what I need to be doing to conform to what the Lord has planned for me. I know it is natural for us to second guess whether we have accomplished or will accomplish all that is set out for us and I want to make sure I am open to whatever is set before me. I am ready!</p>

	<p>I want to encourage you as well that we cannot change what we did or didn&#8217;t do last year or the years prior to that&#8230;we can only now be responsible for what we do with the years still ahead of us. Here&#8217;s to moving forward and completing the &#8216;good race&#8217; set before us.</p>

	<p>Kind Regards,</p>

	<p>Larry J Clark</p>
