- Great Find.RevlimiterVIPDined on 9/20/2014We were very happy to find this neighborhood gem thru Open Table. Great food and service. We will definitely be back. Also very reasonably priced bringing a great value but even without that, we would highly recommend.Special Features:
- What a find!MadrilenaDined on 9/17/2014We have dined at Cafe Malta a number of times and it has always been fabulous. Their menu changes seasonally and there are a few choices that are always offered. It is one of our favorites.Special Features:
- amazing as alwaysfoodieATXDined on 9/16/2014Cafe Malta is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. This was my first time going to a wine pairing dinner there and they didn't disappoint. Everything paired perfectly except the dessert. The flan was good. The wine was good,but they just didn't work that well together. I would still recommend Malta to anyone that loves food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, good serviceMarine782VIPDined on 9/12/2014We have eaten here a few times and the food and service are always first class. Not a huge menu so the chef is able to provide outstanding dishes that will probably match most everyone's tastes. The mussels are fantastic and one order easily serves two people. I also recommend the brisket stuffed ravioli along with a cold Italian beer. A nice, friendly neighborhood type restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved everything about it!Mandy24Dined on 9/5/2014Happy hour food and drinks were amazing (and really well priced)! Table service was also incredible. Our waitress was so great and she really knew the menu and what to suggest. The service was so quick and the menu looked amazing. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu and shared, which was a very smart choice. Each dish came with more then enough for just one person, but not too much to be a total waste.Special Features:
- We Found the Sweet SpotHokeyDined on 9/2/2014We usually go to the Tour de Forks event but it was always crowded. We'd set the reservation around 7:30pm usually. This time, however, it was booked so we went earlier. It's the best time to go. If you are there between 6-7 for Tour de Forks, you're also in their happy hour. So you can get some drinks during the meal for happy hour prices.Special Features:
- Dessert left a "dry" finishCharityDined on 9/2/2014Hey guys, This is the 4th time we've attended tour de forks, and I'm starting to see a pattern... not a good one. Every time we go, the meal is amazing! The apertif is delicious, and the 3 main courses are all very tasty, however each time, we've all felt the dessert has been lacking. Y'all have this tremendous opportunity to send us away full and content, but at each of the meals, the dessert has been dry, heavy and almond~y. Now, I know almonds are a staple of the Mediterranean, but Every. Single. Dessert. Dry, heavy and almond~y. No thanks. We are hoping when we come for Lebanon, dessert will leave us saying, ahhhhh, instead, uhhhhh. One more suggestion... perhaps the apertifs could be offered as a happy hour drink special??
- No chainsnochainsDined on 8/31/2014Wonderfully flavored dishes in a very pleasant environment. Service was attentive but not overly so. A small yet varied menu. Make sure you get a reservation as the place is intimate and always full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fab!MandyDined on 8/30/2014Love coming to this south austin gem! Thank you for the great food and service! Can't wait to come back!!!!Special Features:
- I like it a lotPizzaMan49Dined on 8/23/2014The server was attentive, the cheese plate charming and the dinner delicious. Best risotto I've had!Special Features:
- No chainsnochainsDined on 8/21/2014Superb food. The chef really knows how to bring out flavored. Excellent value and variety on the menu. Great bar as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingMarkVIPDined on 8/16/2014Cafe Malta was highly recommended by a friend. As an appetizer I ordered the lamb stuffed squid that was the special . Taste and quality poor. Took a long time to come out and when it did it was cold. My husband ordered the chicken which was served raw in th middle. The waitress finally came by and my husband told her the chicken was not cooked. She said sorry took our plates and came back with desert menus. We were taken back that she did not offer to bring another chicken plate or something else so we just asked for the check. To top it off she charged us for the raw chicken that my husband did not eat. We told her we would not be paying for that plate. Owner came over and apologized and made adjustment. Won't go back.
- Time to Waste!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/11/2014This place always has good food. The biggest problem is the ticket time. When my Wife and I are the only ones in the restaurant and they still have a 35 minute ticket time there is a problem. We love this place for the quality of the food and the prices are great. But when we come in at 11:00 AM and are the only guests in the restaurant and we order a Medium Rare Malta Burger and the Linguini and it talks 35 minutes there is a problem. (Not to mention) the burger was "well done" & the frits were half cooked at best. Great food, Great atmosphere. But if your have a short lunch this is not the place for you. My only question is what happens when they have several guest in at one time? 1 hour ticket time?? We will probably go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yoginiDined on 8/8/2014not my cup of tea. strange fogettable food. very salty. loud. This was my 3rd and final time to try this restaurant. I really want to like it because I know the owner.
- Creative food at a good priceeuropeanloverDined on 8/5/2014Cafe Malta cooks excellent Mediterranean dishes from all over the Mediterranean region at affordable prices. I especially like their creative Tour de Forks where they focus on a four course meal from one specific region or city on the Mediterranean sea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great surprise!janelleVIPDined on 7/26/2014We were not expecting much when we drove up-it is in a very non-distinct shopping center. LOVED the Hummus! It tasted like it was fresh ground just before it came to our table. The Eggs Malta were wonderful with crispy pancetta and a hearty biscuit. My daughter had the Gnocci and the cream garlic sauce was divine. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and service are always great!Peripatetic75Dined on 7/19/2014This neighborhood gem never disappoints. My husband and I have been patrons for quite some time and have brought a number of couples with us. Each one has gone back on their own because the food and service are always great and the menu is appealing. The wine prices are also reasonable, as is the food. I only wish it was closer to me. We will return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty goodsxswHATERDined on 7/19/2014Very good experience at Cafe Malta. Reserved table was ready on time despite the place being packed. It is vibrant and fun. Excellent, knowlegable waiter who was able to recommend off menu items to accomodate my daughter's finicky palate. The food was good, but not exceptional. With a bit of tweeking on the menu, they could really do well. I'll be back (sans kiddos) for date night or with friends when we can hang out longer and try some other menu items.
- What a great find!1xamonthDined on 7/12/2014My husband and I have been choosing one restaurant per month to try in Austin; kids are getting older, so husband and I are taking turns choosing a place to dine. A family member lives down the street from Cafe Malta and recommended the charming place. Therefore, it was my pick this month, we went and loved the restaurant......we'll definitely return.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- winter21Dined on 7/11/2014We had an 08:00 pm reservation. We were finally seated about 08:40. They were out of several of the dishes we wanted by the time we were able to order. The food we were able to get was not the best--salad was a bit limp, and the bread for the appetizer was burnt. It was a busy Friday night. Maybe they were off their best effort. Be a while before we go back.
- Delicious... but hurriedMaggimDined on 7/11/2014Everything about the experience was excellent. We had a reservation and a table was set for us. From beginning to end, we enjoyed our meal, especially the frilled peaches at the end. But then the waiter told us another party had a reservation and we had to leave. We had only finished paying a few minutes earlier! We're not the type to linger for an unusual amount of time. Perhaps the restaurant will want to space out their reservations a bit more to make this a perfect place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Mediterranean fareexoticfoodsloverDined on 7/1/2014My wife and I have been to Café Malta 3 times: once for lunch, and twice at the cafe's First Tuesday Tours de Fork, in which the theme of the dinner is a country or area within the Mediterranean region. The lunch was delicious, though not exceptional. But the Tours de Fork WERE exceptional. The Tours take the form of a $25 prix-fixe menu of 2 choices for each of the first 3 courses, plus a dessert. The focus on a country or area enables the chef to choose items that characterize the area but are not necessarily familiar to Americans. So far we've thoroughly enjoyed all 14 menu items at our 2 Tours. We plan to be regular First Tuesday diners from now on. The wines are mostly from the Mediterannean region; we've liked all our choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden neighborhood spotOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014Great resturant hidden in an older strip mall. Food is fresh and local when available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedNvergooutsoneedstobegoodDined on 6/24/2014I had heard great things about Café Malta and I was excited to finally try it myself. So I was really disappointed when the food was just so so. I ordered the appetizer of the day which was sausage stuffed mushrooms and they were dry and just not special in any way. I then had the Halibut served on a bed of something with the texture of watery hummus - grainy and runny at the same time. The fish was cooked perfectly, but the texture of the stuff it was served on was yuck and the presentation was off putting. There was apple and Prosciutto in the mush which gave it some flavor but really it was the color of clay. My dessert mousse with candied pecans was delightful. Service was fine, noise level got pretty loud, just not special.Special Features:
- pattiecwDined on 6/24/2014I hosted 8 ladies and each had a different meal. All was simply delicious!!! We are going again in August....Special Features:
- sesalchDined on 6/20/2014Café Malta is a hidden gem on William Cannon in SW Austin. The nightly specials are excellent; get there early before they're all gone! I had an exquisite swordfish dish with polenta and my friend had another fish dish that was also very tasty. Nice by the glass wine selection. Reasonable prices for such quality food.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/18/2014Service was very slow and the small water glasses were ridiculous when that was your only beverage.
- Sub-par selectionluv2eatoutDined on 6/18/2014I usually find the food to be creative and very enjoyable. However, on my recent visit for dinner, the porcini pasta was so salty that I could only eat a little.
- Great neighborhood restaurantVMMATXDined on 6/14/2014Lovely cocktails, casual ambiance and good food. I wish I lived nearby!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food; terribly noisyGoDownMosesDined on 6/6/2014Second time I've been. The first time was later (9:00 p.m.) and on a Tuesday and, as a result, the ambiance was very nice. This time, however (Friday 8:00 p.m.) it was so noisy that my date and I were yelling at each other. Not only that, but the patrons on either side of us were doing the same, to the point that we overheard their entire conversation, and they ours. It looked like both couplers were attempting a romantic dinner date, as were we, so the atmosphere left a lot to be desired in that regard. Were I supreme ruler of Malta, I'd work like hell to get some stuff in there to deaden the sound. I liked the food very much but I doubt I will return because of the deafening roar.Special Features:
- michelleDined on 6/6/2014Food and service was great. Too noisy though. Put some battens or something in the ceiling to absorb the noise.Special Features:
- Enjoyed the Tour de ForksCharityDined on 6/3/2014We took my parents to Cafe Malta for the Tour de Forks and had a wonderful time! I had never been to one of their tours, and our "trip" to Turkey did not disappoint. The food was perfect, as always. My only criticism would be that it was so loud by the time we left, we could hardly hear each other. My dad, who is losing his hearing, wasn't able to talk much toward the end because he couldn't hear the conversation. Otherwise, it was a lovely evening!
- The following 248 reviews are from the Cafe Malta reviews archive.
- as alwaysarlu66Dined on 5/30/2014Our dinner was great , as it always is at Cafe Malta. WE go regularly because the menu is always fantastic. It is noisy but we put up with the din, and enjoy our din-din.Special Features:
- Yummy, but noisyjandjDined on 5/28/2014We arrived around 8:00 and it was so loud, we could barely hear each other. Since we stayed until abut 9:30, it was much emptier and very pleasant. The food and service were wonderful! I hope they will invest in some sound attenuation measures.Special Features:
- Hit or MisspayattentionDined on 5/24/2014My husband and I have visited Cafe Malta twice. The 1st time I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie. It was just OK & I wouldn't order it again. My husband ordered the special, a fish dish & it was amazing. On our 2nd visit , I ordered the Filete Andaluza. The fish was so tough, had to cut it with a knife & the Risotto was bland and tasteless. My husband ordered the Bistro steak which had a good flavor but was very stringy. When the waiter asked how we liked our meals (he could see I hadn't eaten but a few bites) We told him the fish was tough and his response was simply that it was probably a kitchen error. When we got the bill, we were charged full price. On a positive note: the chocolate cayenne creme brule was amazing.
- KarinaDined on 5/23/2014We (my family and friends) love Cafe Malta from the 1st time we dined there. The specialty is their friendly courteous staff, I can recommend this place to anyone, you cannot be disappointed. The food is always good. My family celebrated their 35th anniversary and it was truly made "special"...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food in noisy roomVintagengineDined on 5/22/2014Too many people in too small a space. The food makes up for a lot but our service was slow.Special Features:
- Unexpected pleasureBradfordDined on 5/20/2014Not just another strip mall hole-in-the-wall. Seasonal menus, well considered selections, fresh ingredients. (They don't even have a freezer.)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Taking a gustatory trekprincipetavolaDined on 5/13/2014This is the 2nd time we ordered the Paella: a repeat treat! The seafood is cooked to retain the correct texture and flavor (I usually avoid paella due to the fact that some or all of the seafood is traditionally over-cooked) and the infusion of real bomba rice makes this selection stellar. Also ordered was the Fettucini Porcini, still another god-like dish combining the pairing of pasta and a pesto of porcini and pistachios (wow, the 4 Ps). The Maltese Chicken also alighted on our table, another paean to our clucking friend...this proves that chicken really can be prepared to exude juiciness and chickeny-harmony. Cafe Malta is truly a gustatory trek through the viands of Mediterranean/North Africa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing Mother's Day DinnerStanciDined on 5/11/2014The overall ambiance of the restaurant was nice, however I did not like the fact that the seating is very close together. Knowing it was Mother's Day the restaurant was understaffed, therefore it took a while for the water, food and ticket to arrive. The flank steak was very chewy/stringy and the risotto was a bit undercooked. Mentioned the chewy steak to the waiter and he just nodded his head and brought the check...probably will not be returning.

Stan's Rim Tape
This rim tape can be used to seal most ZTR rims air tight including the ZTR 355, ZTR 355 29er and ZTR Olympic, ZTR Alpine, and ZTR Crest.
It can also be used as a light weight rim tape.
This is a must have for tubeless. Works great. Easy to apply and remove when needed.
works great! easy to use and no problem taking it off when you need to change it. product is just to notch!
I agree with Samuel. Great tape! Is a little tougher to install on narrow rims. Very light weight. Tight seal. Stan's makes great products, period.
I've been running stan's for many years, and the rim tape is awesome. Keeps the air in the tire and is light weight. Easy to install, except on narrow Alpha 340 rims. The narrow rims require a little more effort to fit in between the edge of the rim.
My only issue I had with this tape was it would split as it was coming off the roll if I was putting too much pressure on it. Otherwise it works great. Could be a bit cheaper...

Summer 2012 Playlist II
Posted by Christopher Will on 06/13 at 01:05 PM
About a month ago we posted a summer playlist full of pop songs to get your summer started with a bang. Now we're in June, summer is in full force, and a whole mess of awesome new music has dropped. Therefore, an update is in order. Here are 10 new songs that have come out in the past month that you need to hear. This time, there's a mix of rock, rap, pop, dance, and even (dare I say it) a little bit of country. Enjoy!
Next To Me – Emeli Sandé
Scottish R&B/Soul chanteuse Emeli Sandé released her debut album Our Version of Events in the United States last week. Sandé is already a superstar in the UK, where Our Version of Events is a #1 album with more than a few smash singles. One of its most successful singles, "Next To Me," is a percussive, driving love song with a splash of hip-hop and a whole lot of feeling.
Always Summer – Yellowcard
American rock band Yellowcard dropped the single "Always Summer" just a few weeks ago. The song harkens back to their Ocean Avenue days with its brawny pop punk, while bursting with superior lyricism and melodies. Check out that electric violin solo in the bridge and enjoy!
Hit and Run – Breathe Carolina
You know electro-hardcore duo Breathe Carolina from the radio hit "Blackout," but soon they'll be known for the even bigger hit "Hit and Run." The single dropped mid-May, gaining considerable momentum on the iTunes charts the week it debuted. With the ridiculously catchy chorus and muscular, in your face, dubstep-influenced synthesizers, it's a safe bet to say "Hit and Run" will be saturating the airwaves very soon.
Timebomb – Kylie Minogue
Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, who has been churning out hits since the late 80's, proved that she's still got it with her new single "Timebomb." What is there to say about "Timebomb?" Well, it's sexy, smooth, icy, and the production is literally flawless. It has a fun and innovative dance sound and it's stuffed with so many hooks it'll make your head spin. Listen to "Timebomb" and try not to dance. I dare you.
1991 – Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks, who has been featured on pretty much every major music blog and is arguably the most hyped up-and-coming artist on the music scene, released her debut EP 1991 a couple weeks back. The title track is a gritty slice of retro-style rap, with a slightly off-kilter and infectious chorus. Keep an eye on this 21 year old musical newcomer. She's about to do some big things.
Full Spectrum – Keegan Tawa & Atomisk
For all you Penn Staters, here's a local artist who sounds like he should be sharing the stage with some of the best EDM producers out there. Keegan Tawa, an upcoming junior at Penn State, teamed up with producer Atomisk to create "Full Spectrum." "Full Spectrum" is a 5-and-a-half minute dance track that takes you through more buildups and breakdowns than you can shake a stick at. Turn on that strobe light, put "Full Spectrum" on blast, and jam the day away.
Want You Back – Cher Lloyd
Cher Lloyd made her appearance on the UK version of the X Factor, and soon thereafter took over the British pop scene with her freshman album, Sticks & Stones. The 18-year-old makes her American debut with the single "Want U Back." "Want U Back" is a song some might find vapid and obnoxious, but one that I still think is catchy enough to get stuck in your head for days, possibly months.
Now Or Never – Outasight
Hip-hop/pop artist Outasight made a substantial dent in the Billboard Hot 100 with his top 40 breakout single "Tonight Is The Night." He's back with "Now Or Never," a fusion of pop, dance, and rap that has that same fresh, feel-good sound that made "Tonight Is The Night" so appealing. Listening just makes you want to jump around like a fool and yell "WOAHHHHH" to the ceiling.
I Told You So – Karmin
Karmin's got a firm grasp on the radio waves with their cutesy, fluffy smash hit "Brokenhearted," but they also have a few other standout tracks from their debut EP Hello. One of the most prominent tracks on Hello, "I Told You So," finds Amy Heidemann channeling Nicki Minaj with her quick-fire rapping and snarky lyrics. She even puts on the guise of a female Busta Rhymes in the third verse, where she cuts which such lightning-fast velocity that it's hard to even keep up with her.
Pontoon – Little Big Town
Nothing says "summer" like country music, and Little Big Town have crafted the perfect country hit with "Pontoon." "Pontoon" has a cool, dusty feel to it, as the quartet's dusty, reverberated vocals bask amongst the groovy twang of electric guitars and soft organ keys. The sunny home-grown hit is all about lying on a boat, getting some sun and enjoying the water. If this track doesn't make you want to book a summer vacation near the water, then I don't know what will.

text: GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - Green Bay Packers' nose tackle B-J Raji was hoping to return on Sunday at Saint Louis, but he won't. Raji injured an ankle two weeks ago at Indianapolis – and coach Mike McCarthy said an exam this morning showed that he's not ready, so he's been ruled out for the Rams' game. Receiver Greg Jennings is also out for a third straight week with his lingering groin injury. But McCarthy says Jennings is getting better – and he hopes his star wide-out can play next week at home against Jacksonville. Linebacker Nick Perry and corner Sam Shields are also ruled out for the Rams' game, after injuries last Sunday night at Houston. Shields has shin-and-ankle problems, while the rookie Perry is getting over an injured knee. Six other Packers are listed as probable for Sunday's contest – Sean Richardson, Jermichael Finley, D-J Williams, Davon House, Alex Green, and Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was a full participant in today's practice, after he hurt a calf last Sunday night. Green was a limited participant with a shoulder problem. McCarthy also said that running back Johnny White had a good week of practice, after signing with the Pack on Monday. He could play on special teams against the Rams. Also the coach said tight end Andrew Quarless and linebacker Frank Zombo did well at practice this week. Both came off the physically-unable-to-perform list this week.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The fate of religious freedom for Americans, especially business owners, could hang in the balance when the U.S. Supreme Court convenes March 25.
The justices will hear oral arguments that day in challenges by two family owned corporations to the Obama administration's abortion/contraception mandate, which requires employers to provide abortion-causing drugs for their workers. Hobby Lobby, a nationwide retail chain based in Oklahoma City, and Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Pennsylvania business, contend the federal regulation violates their owners' consciences and a 1993 law protecting religious liberty.
Religious freedom advocates predict the Supreme Court's decision will be far-reaching.
The high court's opinion "will determine the next 100 years of church/state jurisprudence," said Russell D. Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
Joshua Hawley, a lawyer assisting Hobby Lobby, described it as "a landmark case."
"It has major significance for religious liberty" and "for what constitutional rights business owners can claim," said Hawley, a member of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty's legal team and an associate professor at the University of Missouri School of Law.
Matt Bowman, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, explained to Baptist Press the consequences for not only the Green family, the evangelicals who own Hobby Lobby, and the Hahns, the pro-life Mennonite family that owns Conestoga Wood, but other people who seek to exercise their religious beliefs.
"If the Hahn and Green families lose, the door would be open to allow the government to force people of faith to pay massive fines threatening jobs and health coverage just simply because they are choosing not to violate their faith and conscience," Bowman told BP in an email interview.
"If the Hahn and Green families win, it will protect religious liberty as promised in the Constitution and American law, and people of faith will not be subject to massive fines just because they don't want to help destroy human life."
The arguments at the Supreme Court will arrive after more than two and a half years of protests by pro-life and religious freedom advocates. In implementing the 2010 health-care reform law, the Department of Health and Human Services announced in August 2011 a proposed rule requiring employers to pay for coverage of contraceptives, including ones that can induce abortions. Objections to the regulation failed to produce either a retraction from HHS or adequate conscience protections requested by religious liberty proponents.
More than 300 parties -- some nonprofit organizations and some for-profit corporations -- have combined to file 94 lawsuits against HHS in the meantime, according to the Becket Fund. The consolidated case the justices will hear March 25 involves for-profit businesses. The nonprofit cases have yet to work their way up to the high court.
While some conscientious objectors to the HHS rule oppose underwriting all contraceptives, Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood protest paying only for abortion-causing drugs. Federal appeals courts reached different conclusions last year in the lawsuits. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled for the federal government in Conestoga Wood's challenge, while the 10th Circuit Court in Denver sided with Hobby Lobby.
The principle involved in the case is rooted in theology and America's founding, Moore said.
"The government doesn't grant us religious liberty; God does," he told Baptist Press in a written statement. "The government is to recognize that God-given natural right for all persons to freely exercise their religious convictions.
"What's at stake is the heritage our forefathers bought with their blood," Moore said. "More than that, what's at stake is the truth that God alone, and not Caesar, is Lord of the conscience."
A major question the Supreme Court will consider in the case is whether owners of for-profit companies can exercise their religion in the conduct of their businesses. A divided three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court ruled that for-profit, secular organizations "cannot engage in religious exercise." The 10th Circuit in Denver rejected the Obama administration's argument that protections under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act do not extend to for-profit companies. It ruled corporations "can be 'persons' exercising religion for purposes" of RFRA.
The U.S. Constitution and RFRA protect people of faith in their business practices, according to the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Becket Fund.
The federal government "asserts that when people of faith try to earn a living in business, they lose freedom to act consistent with their faith," said Bowman, whose organization, ADF, represents Conestoga Wood. "But Americans do not give up their freedoms when they open a family business, and no American family should be forced to choose between following their faith and submitting to unlawful and unnecessary government mandates."
Hawley said in an interview with The Pathway, newsjournal of the Missouri Baptist Convention: "You don't lose your free exercise rights when you open a business in this country. That's never been the law. That's not what the Constitution says. Business owners have a right to run their businesses in accord with their religious convictions just like everybody else."
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act -- which requires the government to have a compelling interest and to use narrow means to burden a person's religious exercise -- also guards the rights of for-profit owners, Hawley said.
The Becket Fund's argument "is that the government does not have a compelling interest in forcing business owners to provide these abortion-inducing drugs," he said. "They haven't pursued their interests in the appropriate way. And, therefore, since it violates the Greens' religious faith they can't make it stick under this law."
The SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission signed on to a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Christian Legal Society in support of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood. Also among the 59 briefs supporting Hobby Lobby and/or Conestoga Wood, according to the Becket Fund, was one signed on to by Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; its president, Daniel Akin; Southern Baptist mega-church pastor and author Rick Warren; Southern Baptist professors; and at least one other Southern Baptist pastor.
Also filing briefs for the businesses were congressional members from both political parties, 20 states, women's organizations, constitutional law scholars, Roman Catholic theologians, the National Religious Broadcasters, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, National Association of Evangelicals, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Democrats for Life and Christian Medical Association.
The 23 briefs filed in opposition to the two businesses, according to the Becket Fund, included more than 100 Democratic members of Congress, 16 states, the ACLU and Freedom From Religion Foundation.
The HHS regulation requires coverage of such drugs as Plan B and other "morning-after" pills that possess a post-fertilization mechanism that can cause an abortion by preventing implantation of tiny embryos. The rule also covers "ella," which -- in a fashion similar to the abortion drug RU 486 -- can act even after implantation to end the life of the child.
HHS provided an exemption to the rule for churches and their auxiliaries but did not extend it to non-church-related, nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies that object. The administration also offered an accommodation for non-church-related religious organizations, but critics said it was inadequate because it still forces such groups to provide access to the drugs through third parties.
Hobby Lobby's Green family has said it will not comply with the mandate if it loses in court. The arts and crafts retail chain of more than 600 stores could face fines totaling $1.3 million a day. Hobby Lobby seeks to honor God "by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles," according to its statement of purpose. Its stores are closed on Sundays.
The Hahn family, which owns Conestoga Wood, has been living under the mandate since its group health plan was renewed in January 2013. Refusal to abide by the mandate could cost the family an estimated $95,000 a day. Conestoga Wood is a wholesale manufacturer of kitchen cabinet parts.
The 10th Circuit case is Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, while the Third Circuit case is Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius. Kathleen Sebelius is the HHS secretary.
The high court is expected to issue a decision before the end of its term in late June or early July.

1970's Video of a prototype black project
- Stratafire
- uploaded: Dec 9, 2010
- Hits: 15
It's a video that has been circling around the world awhile now, thing is, I reconstructed allot of the detail of the video with various filters, and turned it from a IR film setup, to a "daylight" exposure to see more detail, color corrected it as well..
It was traveling along the inside of the bank itself (not over the grass range), and it is a small model from the looks of it.. Notice the "kinetic tilt" the craft does when adjusting from flight mode, to a circling hover mode, the craft tilts forward from the inertial braking (shifting?) and rears back in an overcompensated methodology before entering the circular hovering mode.
It's an older model "black project craft" (plain and simple) so for those that think we have not had the technology for awhile now.. well .. I would reconsider your position...

Actually it is from the 70's, reproduced in the 90's (digitized), and the missing proportions show it "winding up" to a full bore take off from the area (which would happen if it was realized that it was compromised).. it was filmed by "military" personnel performing night operations with IR film .. It's been through a few filters to take the high resolution details remaining, and "best guess" color extractions to produce a "daylight" film look (did not tweak it too far as you can tell by the "exhaust stack" in the background.. the HSL setting was pretty high) Digital tracking pixel tracking software could not pick up the shade difference at the beginning so I "omitted" it, and the final? the cameraman pulled too far back, shook the camera around too much for the pixel tracker to do a good enough job for adjustments. focused on the closeups for the highest detail possible (largest portion of pixel information was in the closeups) Ever seen old IR film emulsions?, the 70's models (in the original film model) are correct for the period.. Was lucky I caught the "first transference" to digital medium, details in later models is "way" below par now..

1 this was not filmed in the 70's ... its video not film, the 90's is more likely2 it was filmed in italy if i remember correctlyby the military or police. its almost certainly a uav test but the end of the video which has been cut from this footage does help to discredit the uav theory to a certain extentdue to the very fast acceleration but still not impossible for an unmanned craftand of course some will say its professionally produced cgiim still on the fence with this onebut i lean towards a uav

Lawyer who exposed robo-signing wins $100,000
A Maine lawyer who once worked for banks was honored for his 'encore career' work for homeowners. When documents looked wrong, he dug deeper and discovered a national scandal.
For many years, Thomas Cox worked as a lawyer helping banks foreclose on the homes of small-business owners who had borrowed to keep their businesses going.
After a while, he grew depressed, retired from his work as a lawyer and became a carpenter.
In 2008, he came back to law, this time on the other side of the table, working for no pay with a Maine legal aid organization to help low-income residents fight foreclosure.
Post continues below
He was one of five Americans honored last week with a $100,000 Purpose Prize, which is awarded to people 60 and older who are making a difference.
Cox definitely has made a difference in the foreclosure realm: He was one of the first to uncover the robo-signing scandal – the bank practice of hiring people to sign affidavits and other documents without even reading them, let alone verifying if they were true.
"As a lawyer, I have this passion for the legal system and justice and fairness," Cox says in his bio at Encore.org, a nonprofit organization that promotes "second acts for the greater good." "Part of what drives me so hard is that I'm outraged by the abuse of the legal system – by corporate America, by the country's biggest financial institutions – and I'm embarrassed that my profession participated in creating that outrage. ... I want to do what I can to fix it."
Cox's efforts were the subject of a 2010 New York Times story, which chronicled how he exposed a "limited signing officer" for GMAC (which later became Ally Financial) named Jeffrey Stephan, who signed perhaps 10,000 mortgage documents a month. The Times quotes from Cox's court filing:
When Stephan says in an affidavit that he has personal knowledge of the facts stated in his affidavits, he doesn't. When he says that he has custody and control of the loan documents, he doesn't. When he says that he is attaching "a true and accurate" copy of a note or a mortgage, he has no idea if that is so, because he does not look at the exhibits. When he makes any other statement of fact, he has no idea if it is true. When the notary says that Stephan appeared before him or her, he didn't.
Once these practices came to light, lenders began halting foreclosure cases. The exposure of the widespread practice led to the $25 billion settlement involving the federal government, major lenders and state attorneys general.
Cox plans to continue his work with Maine Attorneys Saving Homes, a network of volunteer lawyers. He plans to use most of his prize money toward his efforts to train and recruit volunteer lawyers to help homeowners in foreclosure cases.
Corporate America is out of control.....and OWNS our politicans with their lobbyists and bribes.
This country would be far better off if we did away wih corporations and only had companies. The tax loops holes would mostly be gone, we would have better products, and there would be more responsibility for all this dishonesty.
The problem is the Banks sold,securitze,created (Derivatives which essentially are nothing)the loans multiple times,and in addition were given a BAILOUT.
People do me a favor lookup the word DERIVATIVES?
After they(BANKS) made billions dollars out of the fraud and bailout,the Banks also betted against themselves by buying Insurance and continuing selling the the fraudulent notes,FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS..
None of the FRAUDSTERS WERE PROSECUTED. The very Banks that created the FRAUD now want to foreclose and do not have legal standing to foreclose.
A telephone robot would call give a sales pitch then say "press one to accept offer", "press two to decline", "press three to talk with a representative". A parental role model would call me to the phone and instruct me to press one, presumably so they could claim that they never pressed the button. Would that make me a "limited signing officer"?
Wouldn't instructing someone else to press "do you accept the terms of the agreement" button imply that they did accept the terms of the offer and the person actually pressing or signing ,in this matter, was acting as the principal's agent?
Why punish the 'job creators'? Is it envy? Why don't YOU go out and steal, cheat and kill and get your own money instead of trying to punish hardworking job creating Republicans?
This will just hurt the job creators and make things more expensive in the long run and it will cost JOBS!!! Regulations kill jobs, forcing corporations to actually follow regulations kills even more jobs!!!
What do you think is going to happen when the wealthy can no longer steal from the middle class and cheat the poor? They will all move!!!
Let Corporations regulate themselves, they will do the right thing if you just give them the chance, too many people have seen that movie ' Erin Brokovitch' and think that actually happened, it did not... all those children dying of cancer was propaganda, they died of ummm premature old age ya that's it. Oh and don't forget there is no proven link between smoking and lung cancer.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office still opposes a federal court's proposal that deputies announce traffic stops to radio dispatchers before making contact with the driver.
Lawyers submitted a brief Wednesday in the racial profiling case against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office.
A small group of Latinos sued the agency for violating their constitutional rights.
In May, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow found that Arpaio's office singled out Latinos and deputies unreasonably prolonged detentions.
Both sides remain at odds over key remedies to ensure MCSO adheres to constitutional requirements.
Arpaio's attorneys say the traffic stop call-in proposal could put a deputy's safety at risk.
Snow has given lawyers on both sides until Sept. 18 to file additional briefs in the case and says he will issue a final order soon after that.

Published November 8th, 2009
It is said there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. A third, it appears, is that Mary Wise will lead her Florida Gator volleyball team to a 20-win season.
Wise accomplished the feat for the 19th straight season on Sunday as the Gators defeated Auburn 25-15, 25-18, 25-13. The win was the eighth straight sweep for the Gators (20-3, 14-2).

Why Morrisville?
"I chose Morrisville because my visit to Morrisville during my senior year of high school convinced me that it seemed like the right place for me. My soccer coach managed to get the Morrisville head coach, at the time, to try me out and practice with the team. Not only were the team and the captains so inviting, but walking around campus and seeing such a different environment other than the city life convinced me that a change of scenery was what I needed."

Anchovies are both a traditional food of the Basque Country and the mainstay of the region's fishing economy. Anchovies are typically harvested each spring when they have accumulated the most fat and flavor.
These Arroyabe anchovies are caught with small nets to protect the quality of the fish and to reduce by-catch. Once caught, the anchovies are hand cleaned and placed in barrels where they are aged for 3-7 months. After aging, the fillets are washed, boned and hand packed in olive oil to preserve the flavor and texture of the fish.
These are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to help prevent cardiovascular disease and to help reduce cholesterol.
Wrapped around a slice of artisan cheese, anchovies make a great tapas dish. They can be also be served on crusty bread with piquillo peppers or on a salad drizzled with Spanish olive oil and aged sherry vinegar.

Nothing is spookier than a classic witch costume for Halloween. Top off your enchantress outfit with one of our witch hats. Witches are a classic Halloween option for women. These symbols of the holiday can be sweet, seductive or spooky depending on the accessories you add. Find the perfect Halloween hat to fit your magical ensemble in this selection of accessories.
Fiber optic Webs Witch Hat Adult
Witch Hat with Fur Trim and Buckle
The traditional witch's outfit features a black pointy cap, warts, and a fake nose, but witches don't have to scary costume options. You can create a cute witch outfit with a short, flirty skirt and an adorable mini hat. Witch headbands are a great alternative to a full size hat. A smaller hat can create a cocktail version of a witch ensemble for a more feminine look. You don't have to keep the dreary black color either. Mix things up with colorful witch hats in green, orange and purple. A fancy feather witch hat is another great way to mix things up. Look for pointed hats with a spider or cobweb design for another way to change up the typical black design.

Our experts assess this weekend's key battles.
Everton welcome Hull City to Goodison Park for the first time since 2010 this weekend, looking to replicate the rampant display that inspired a 5-1 rout of the Tigers that brisk March afternoon.
However, Steve Bruce's side have made a decent fist of their return to the top flight and travel to Merseyside just a point and a position below the seventh-placed Toffees.
Ahead of the clash, we asked Blues legend Graeme Sharp and Philip Buckingham, football writer for the Hull Daily Mail, to mull over the key battles which could determine Saturday's outcome…
Sharpy says: "Aluko first came to my attention when he played for Rangers and I wasn't quite sure whether he could take the step up into the Premier League. But he's done very well so far and he'll be a threat on Saturday. That said, I'm more than happy that we've got Jags out there in decent form and coming off the back of two really solid performances for England. It should be an interesting battle but I expect Jags to come out on top."
Buckingham says: "Aluko's adaptation to the top flight has been pretty seamless and he already looks every inch the Premier League footballer. He was something of an unknown quantity at the start of the year but Hull have already seen opposition teams paying close attention to him. He's got pace, trickery and he likes to drop into that gap between the midfield and defence and give opponents something to worry about. He played very well at Manchester City against good defenders so I don't think he'll be fazed by coming up against Jagielka and Distin on Saturday."
Sharpy says: "Huddlestone found himself a little bit on the periphery at Tottenham but everybody knows what a good player he is. He's a great passer of the ball and a big lad to boot. But I think James McCarthy has come into Everton and looked immediately at home. He's a busy player, he'll get around Huddlestone's feet and he won't give him any time on the ball, which will be important."
Buckingham says: "Huddlestone has become an instant favourite since joining in August and looks a bargain at £5.25million. A lot of City fans are still pinching themselves that he's wearing their shirt. I don't think his ability has ever been in question, he just needed that run of games. He's a sumptuous passer, never looks troubled by who he's up against and makes the game look very easy. He helps the side retain possession and that's what any side coming up to the Premier League needs."
Sharpy says: "I saw Steven Naismith have a fantastic pre-season out in America, where he trained really hard and worked really hard in the games. In the two recent internationals for Scotland he played up front on his own and was excellent and managed to score a goal, so he's doing really well. People can be on the fence about him but he's a committed footballer who's working his socks off to be the best he can be - and he always seems to carry a threat in the box. He should be high on confidence and Rosenior will need to be ready for that."
Buckingham says: "Liam had to wait for his turn this season before coming in, initially at left-back. The last couple of games he's played his more familiar role of right-back and he's someone whose appetite for it can never be questioned. There was perhaps a slight question mark over whether he could make the step up but he's done well so far. He's someone who likes to bomb on but he's reined in his game and he's more wary of the opposition now. He's comfortable on both sides and he's no slouch either, so he can handle players who go either side. I don't think you'll see too many wingers make a fool of him this season."
Don't miss out - seats are still available for Saturday's 3pm kick-off against Hull City. Tickets start from £32 for adults and only £16 for Under-16s.
Buying tickets is easy. Simply visit the Park End or Goodison Road box office or you can also pick up tickets in the city centre from either Everton Two or the Ticket Quarter in Queen Square. Alternatively, call 0871 663 1878 or buy online here.

The Hockey Club of the Ohio Valley and the ECHL have won a default judgment from a Kentucky marketing group that used the Wheeling Nailers name and logo to sell advertising spots.
U.S. District Judge Frederick P. Stamp Jr. ordered Elsmore, Ky.-based Eagle Marketing Group, LLC, to pay more than $33,000 in damages for willfully infringing on the Nailers trademark.
"What the case boiled down to is an entity … going around usurping the goodwill of small business owners towards local colleges and hometown teams," HCOV attorney Gerald E. Lofstead III of Cipriani & Werner PC, Wheeling, said. "Based on my research, this has gone on (in other cities) where the ECHL has teams to the point where they're well known to ECHL, but until now, no one pulled the trigger," by filing suit.
HCOV, owned by the non-profit Regional Economic Development Partnership, operates the Nailers. Lofstead said the organization "watches revenue very closely ... and it's really important to (them), to the organization, to stop this and try to teach Eagle Marketing something of a lesson with regard to business practices."
The complaint alleges Eagle solicited local businesses to purchase advertising on calendars with the Nailers game schedule, suggesting to the various advertisers that they were working with HCOV to support the team. The team did not receive any of the profits from the sale of the calendar or advertising spots, they said.
"Those businesses that purchased advertising on the defendant's calendar were misled to believe that they were supporting the local ownership of the Wheeling Nailers Hockey Club," they said in the suit.
Eagle Marketing did not respond to the complaint Lofstead said the firm "had plenty of opportunity, they were provided notice of everything. They chose not to appear."
Because the infringement was deemed intentional, Stamp tripled the actual $9,300 the team lost in advertising revenue plus attorney fees.

VALATIE, N.Y. - A local man, who served the United States overseas, found a trusted friend in the most unexpected place.
The Christmas story is about a small white puppy 6,000 miles away from New York and Special Forces Soldier, Aaron Eleby, from Valatie. While in a war-torn nation, the puppy and soldier found one another, and at the same time, they saved one another.
"We were at a place and those people over there didn't really deserve to have any dogs in the first place, among other things," Eleby said. "I saw him after seeing the other dogs, and just how they treat their other dogs over there, it's atrocious. They are guard dogs. They don't eat much."
However, it was love at first sight for now 7-month-old Yakkul and Eleby.
"He was literally looking up, like, 'what are you going to do man?' ya know, like what are you going to do next? It's your call so," he continued.
Eleby said he didn't ask anyone. He just knew he had to take the puppy with him.
The cost to bring a dog home, though, is over $4,000, but thanks to family, friends and Steve Caporizzo's Pet Connection, it was quick.
"We were actually gone for two weeks straight on a mission, and I came back and the money was raised," Eleby said.
After the money was raised, it was a two and a half hour drive to the rescue group, Nozrad.
"He actually had to drive with a military escort because you drive around out there by yourself with a dog they are going to be like "who? Why are you doing this?" he said.
The 6,000 mile trip was made from Afghanistan to JFK Airport recently.
"When I walked in and saw him, it was awesome," said Eleby. I'm not gonna say a tear came to my eye, but it was hiding back there."
Yakkul has recently graduated from puppy school. While Eleby is overseas, the pup will live with Grandma and Grandpa.
If you would like to help other soldiers and their rescued pets, visit www.nowzad.com which is a British animal shelter in Afghanistan trying to save stray dogs and cats.

I thought when you get a type one verb ending with "ku" you replace it with ita. For example Kaku (to write) goes to Kaita. So I'm guessing Iku is an exception, does this happen with other verbs too ? Thanks ^^
Teachers and intermediate language learners regularly tell beginners that Japanese has only two irregular verbs (kuru and suru). This is not, strictly speaking, true.
As you've noted, 行く has the irregular formations 行った and 行って.
The negative of ある is ない... which is quite irregular
Imperatives often seem to have irregular forms, most notably くれ from くれる.
The conjugations of the honorific verbs (kudasai) can be considered as having their own pattern, or breaking the rules.
snailplane pointed out a few others 問う -> 問うた and 請う -> 請うた.
There are a few historical pronunciations that sometimes complicate this as well, such as the abbreviated する in 訳す or 達す. The -suru irregularity also extends to the -jiru variant in verbs like 禁じる.
(Note that wikipedia has a larger list)
Yes, 行く/iku is an exception to the rule. Specifically, its -te/-ta form is itte/itta. However, in most ways this verb is regular, so it usually does not get included in the list of exceptions, which is only two verbs long: する/suru, and 来る/kuru.
One other point of note is that 行く is sometimes pronounced "yuku," although this is slightly less common.
Here is how you derive the past tense for 行く (and the te-form, equivalently):
past tense of /iku/ == { past tense of X = continuative form of X + /ta/ } /iki/ + /ta/ == { generating a new word requires sound-changes } repair(devoicing(/ikita/)) == { /i/ and /u/ become devoiced/disappear in-between two devoiced consonants } repair(/ikta/) == { normally, I-replacement repairs /k/+consonant; but here, gemination } /itta/
Basically, it comes down to a devoiced vowel resulting in a consonant-consonant sequence, and that
For all other -ku verbs, e.g.,
So the exception with
That is the only exception I know which pertains to repairs, to directly answer your question (instead of the question "what words conjugate weird?").
As to why this happens with 行く, I am not sure... in 徒然草 (1330-1332),
and even much more recently, in 不如帰 (~1898)
we indeed have proof it was, at least in writing, the continuative form plus the past(/perfect) morpheme, with no repairs. At some point, this changes, see こゝろ (1914):
so this doesn't really help us figure out anything very much at all. I can't seem to track down anything useful here.
I'd classify 問う and 請う as a different "exception" from 行く, because for whatever reason, a totally different sound change happened, from -ひた- to -ふた-. We can still see the older form here,
from 左近大將朝光 in the 後拾遺和歌集 (~1086). This -うた form is still around in the Osaka dialect and is used for the past tense and te-form regularly. It's not clear to me why there was this branch in pronunciation.

3 Roughed Up Growth Stocks You Need to Know About
Josh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In any market, many short-term hiccups are magnified and scrutinized (particularly during earnings season), leaving behind a vast array of quality businesses that have been oversold. Oftentimes, what remains is an opportunity to turn a short-term sell off into a long-term buy and hold. This is especially true in the volatile world of growth stocks, as valuations tend to fly high until the simplest of bad news shatters their stock price in a matter of minutes.
It is our job as investors to look at these sell offs and determine which ones represent a buying opportunity thanks to the market's overreaction. Today we will take a look at priceline.com ) and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU), as the market has sent each of them downwards to the tune of 13%. We will also take a look at Chipotle Mexican Grill ), which has seen its stock drop over 40% on the heels of two disappointing earnings results and one David Einhorn.
The Valuations
Going off of these numbers alone, it would appear that priceline.com has the best valuation of the group, as it has the lowest Forward P/E at 15.9, the lowest PEG at .88, and the highest profit margin, at an astounding 25.6%. However, considering priceline's exposure to Europe, Chipotle's larger relative sell-off, and Lululemon's enormous growth runway, it is impossible to decide from numbers alone which of these companies are ready to be bought.
The Growth Stories
Chipotle: Batting leadoff with Chipotle, I see 3 growth runways that keep me excited, regardless of Einhorn's successful short call or Chipotle's slight misses on its most recent earnings report.
- Further Domestic Expansion- Yes, as exciting and obvious as this sounds, it is Chipotle's main growth driver, as they currently have 1,340 stores in the US versus only 10 internationally. However, what makes this number fascinating is the rate at which it is expected to grow. Chipotle has already stated in its most recent 10-Q that they "expect to open at or above the high end of the previously announced range of 155 to 165 expected new restaurant openings in 2012." Furthermore, they are aiming for 165-180 in 2013, which would represent a huge storefront expansion of over 10% each year. Throw in 4.8% same store sales growth for the 3rd Quarter in 2012 and Chipotle's domestic growth runway is just getting started.
- Any International Growth- With 4 shops in Toronto, 5 in London, and one in Paris, Chipotle has only begun to test out the international market. Considering the wide option of locations available (especially with the current European market) and armed with a new ShopHouse concept, Chipotle will be able to hand pick the markets it chooses to enter, further boosting EPS and maintaining margin.
- ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen- As The Motley Fool's own Ron Gross explained in last week's Motley Fool Money podcast, it is fair to see the new ShopHouse concept as essentially being a free addition, along with everything else that Chipotle currently has going for it. With a new ShopHouse being opened in Los Angeles and two others already being open in D.C., the market has only been tested for this promising new concept.
priceline.com: Much like Chipotle, priceline has a few different growth runways, whether its the further expansion of their priceline.com name here in North America, its expansion internationally to Latin America, or its development of rentalcars.com and a new mobile interface. With these runways growing at such a high clip and priceline's ability to thrive during the recent recessions in America and Europe, priceline's current valuations offer quite an attractive entry point.
With a yearly revenue growth rate of 19% over the last decade and an EPS that grew from $.27 to $23.97 in the same timeframe, priceline has more than enough potential to continue growing profits, as more hotels unload extra rooms on its booking.com website.
Lululemon Athletica: Finally, with Lululemon, E-commerce sales continue to grow, as they currently represent 13% of company sales, up nicely from 8% a year earlier. Furthermore, Lululemon has added 15 new stores in 2012, boosting its total to 189, showing a commitment to growing its storefront far into the future. With stores open in only four countries: America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the company has a huge remaining growth runway internationally.
However, even with such a strong brand name, Lululemon will face headwinds regardless of how well it performs with big time competitors such as Under Armour, Nike, and Adidas. With higher-priced Nike and Under Armour holding profit margins of only 8.7% and 6.2% respectively, it will be vital to see if Lululemon can maintain their 18% margin.
My Foolish Stance on These 3 Great Companies
As previously mentioned, I truly believe Chipotle has not only one great growth runway, but three and possibly more for the future. Being Einhorn'd and beat down 40% from its 2012 high, I believe they have clearly entered oversold territory and would be a great buy for the distant future. I was previously long on Chipotle in CAPS at $330 and firmly believe that todays current price at $250 offers quite a discounted buying opportunity.
Similarly with priceline.com, I am ecstatic to see its PEG drop below 1, as this represents a great sign of cheap future growth. With such strength shown in poor economic times historically, I believe that priceline is also being traded at a discount today and could go on to surprise with its earnings in early November. I've had priceline green-thumbed since it traded at $564 and see its current price of $580 as an opportunity to buy a great company at a fair price.
Finally with Lululemon, there is clear growth to be seen, not just historically, but far into the future. I am however hesitant to jump in on the company, even after its recent drop. With high analyst expectations for the next two quarters, a Forward P/E that barely breaks 30, and a PEG of 1.38, I am going to keep Lululemon on my watchlist and try to get in on a better value.
