Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh believes Donald Trump is making a strategic error in his most recent line of attack on GOP rival Ted Cruz.
Appearing on on ABC News' This Week on Sunday, Trump called Cruz a "nasty guy," adding "nobody likes him."
The front-runner went on to tell ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, "Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. He's a very –- he's got an edge that's not good. You can't make deals with people like that and it's not a good thing. It's not a good thing for the country."

Rush Limbaugh took exception with this line of attack on Cruz on his radio program Monday, arguing that Trump is obviously trying to drive down Cruz's likeability among potential supporters.
"I don't even think Trump means it. This is politics, and Cruz is ready for this and is prepared for it — and, in fact, is dealing with it masterfully," the radio talk show host said. "Trump knows — and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here, but I know he's a smart guy."

Limbaugh argued the billionaire candidate is making a "strategic error" by attacking Cruz's character. "Trump is free to criticize Cruz all he wants as far as I'm concerned, but going after him as a 'nasty' guy and on this birther business, he's gotta worry that it's gonna create more negatives within his own support base rather than turn people off to Cruz," Limbaugh said. "And he's gotta consider the opportunity that it's providing Cruz in responding."
The conservative went on to explain Cruz has been turning it around masterfully and taking the platform Trump created, showing he can stand toe-to-toe with the media mogul. "[H]e's not cowering in fear in the corner and running away from it," Rush observed of Cruz.

"And in the midst of all this, Cruz, in responding to this, is not even mentioning Trump's name, which is…That's lesson number one. You don't mention the opponent. It's like they don't even exist. You just go about your business. Cruz is doing all of that," said Limbaugh

Yeah somthing in your credit profile might've spooked them enough to take adverse action against you. Paying double the minimum isn't exactly great, in short term perhaps, as they make interest off you but over period of time? The creditors might start thinking you in some financial difficulties, they want to minimize their risk exposures by lowering your limit and they may continue to do so, each time the balance is lowered so is your limit (balance chasing). Few Creditors (AmEx, Discover, Chase) are known to proactively lower its limit or close it outright, even tho their balance is at zero, but other cards you have, might have high utilizations for long period of times, and or some baddies popped up in your credit profiles.

They did it for some reason,
you did not supply any other information about your credit report so can't give you a reason why they did it.
My question to you is why do you carry a balance on Any Credit?

3 week diet REVIEW
The great thing about THE 3 WEEK DIET system is that you can actually begin the program in the next few minutes because I've made the entire system (all four manuals) available in PDF form, by Instant Download. Now, I'm not going to insult your intelligence or risk my reputation by making some outlandish claims that in 21 days you're going to have a set of 6-pack abs or be 50 pounds lighter than you are today without any effort. But what I am going to promise you is this: If you dedicate yourself over the next 21 days and follow The 3 Week Diet as outlined, you will be walking around with 12 to 23 pounds of body fat gone from your waist, hips, thighs, belly and butt. Your clothes will be looser, you'll look healthier and more attractive…and you'll have more energy than you've ever had in a long, long time.
3 week diet FEATURE :
- 12-23 pound reduction in body fat
- 2-4 inches from your waistline
- 2-3 size drop in dress size
- Increased muscle tone
- Decreased cellulite
- Faster metabolism
- Increased energy
- Healthier hair & skin
- Improved cholesterol levels
- And a host of other health benefits
What's Included in The 3 Week Diet System:
The Introduction Manual is more than just an introduction to the diet. Instead, it discusses the science behind how we gain and lose weight as well as what absolutely needs to be done to attack that stubborn body fat that, until now, has been so challenging to get rid of.
In addition to this, The Introduction Manual will discuss the specific nutrients the body needs for this diet to be ultra-successful and the science behind those nutrients, and how they help you lose fat, increase metabolism and become much more healthy and energetic.
The Diet Manual is where the "rubber meets the road." Unlike those "one-size-fits-all" diets, The 3 Week Diet Manual will show you how to calculate your lean body mass vs. fat percentage, and will thenprovide you with a specifically tailored rapid weight loss plan to suit your body type. You'll know exactly what to eat every day, how much to eat and when to eat it. You'll never be guessing—just follow the outline and you WILL lose weight.
In addition to this, you'll discover the exact foods you must eat to maximize your body's fat-burning potential and what foods you must avoid at all costs because of their ability to slow down or even stop the fat-burning process.
The Diet Manual is, quite frankly, the ultimate method for producing extremely fast fat loss results. And it doesn't stop there. Also included in The Diet Manual is my ultimate, super-simple plan for keeping the weight you've lost OFF forever, while still being able to enjoy your favorite foods. This allows you to live a "normal" life without worrying about the weight coming back (you'll love this!).
While The Diet Manual alone will produce truly amazing amounts of fat loss, The Workout Manual can help you to nearly double your results. This was specifically designed for those who don't have time to go to the gym every day—but it also includes a gym workout for those who do. And even if you don't like to work out, I've developed an exercise program that provides "no excuses" because they take just 20 minutes a day, 3-4 days per week.
The simple fact is, exercising for fat-burning is not about spending hours in the gym everyday. This is because fat loss is dependent on intensity—not time. Yes, it's true you can lose weight spending an hour or so on the treadmill—but you're never going to get rid of the stubborn body fat that way. The key to smashing fat-loss plateaus lies in short and intense, full body exercises that get every muscle in your body metabolically active.
When you add a quality workout program with The 3 Week Diet, you truly have the ultimate "knockout punch" for extremely fast fat loss. The Workout Manual also includes my ultimate Midsection Miracle Workout, which contains the only two abs exercises you will ever need if you desire a set of 6-pack abs. Many have said that this exercise alone is worth much more than the price of my system!
Every great success starts with a decision to change your mindset. It's your mindset and your internal motivation that get you the physical changes you want to see. This manual will give you the techniques to focus on your goals and remain motivated throughout The 3 Week Diet and beyond into your everyday life.
The Mindset & Motivation Manual includes a ton of high-quality and usable mindset and motivational tips, tricks, tools and secrets to not only get the ball rolling, but to ensure you stick with your diet and keep all your lost weight off forever!
The 3 Week Diet Program FAQs Answered
So here are some of the frequently asked questions I have seen about the program. I'll do my best to answer them!
What is the 3 Week Diet? It is basically a 21 day weight loss program designed to help you lose weight fast. It's split up into 4 short phases that are all different.
Simply put you'll be dieting, exercising and reducing your calories but in a way you probably wouldn't have seen before.
Will it work for me? I think that it will work for anyone who follows it. No matter if you have 200 pounds or 1 pound to lose I think you'll get great results.
I'm always busy, will it work for me? I work full time and always have a bunch of other stuff to do when I get home and it worked for me. If you can spare 20 minutes for exercise then you can do the 3 Week Diet program. And no matter how busy you are you can always spare 20 minutes. Even if it means getting up 20 minutes earlier or going to be 20 minutes later.
How much weight will I lose? Well the website claims you can lose between 12 and 23 pounds. I lost 17 Lbs my first try and then 19 Lbs my second try so their claims are definitely true. If you follow the system I would say you'll probably lose somewhere between 15-20 Lbs.
Will it work for vegans and vegetarians? Yes.
I'm really unfit, will I be able to do the workouts? I was super unfit when I started and I was able to do them. You just need to go at your own pace but also give it everything you have. And Brian says that you don't necessarily have to even do the workouts to lose weight although I would definitely recommend that you do exercise.
What equipment will I need? You'll need some weights although you can actually do some of the exercises without them.
What do I do after the 3 Week Diet program? The problem with a lot of weight loss programs is that they don't tell you what to do after you've finished the program to keep the weight off. The 3 Week Diet has you covered though. It has something called the 3 pound rule.
So you weight yourself every morning and if you ever find that you're 3 pounds over your target weight you start the 3WD program again from day one until you're back to your target weight which should be in a few days.
This way you'll never gain weight again if you follow the system.
What if I don't reach my weight loss goal? Simple, just restart the 3WD from day one again until you've reached your goal. I did the program twice before I reached my goal.
I'm pregnant, can I do it? I'd say no, wait until after you've had the baby then it'll work great.
Will it work for both women and men? Yes, I'd say so. I don't think it matters if you're a man or woman. The system will work if you follow it.
I can't or I don't want to exercise, can I still use it? Exercise is a part of the program but you would still lose weight without doing the workouts. So yeah, if you don't want to workout you can still lose weight by skipping them but I'd recommend doing as many of the workouts as possible if you are able as it helps speed up the process.
Refund policy? Personally I never asked for a refund but they do have a 60 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. You'd just need to email them and request it. But I doubt you'd want a refund anyway.
Is this review real? Yes, I've been struggling to lose weight for years and the 3 Week Diet program really helped me so I thought the least I could do was share my results and spread the word.
I make no money if you decide to buy it. I'm just so happy about my results and what the program has done for me.
I have another question! If you have another question about the program then feel free to leave a comment below and I'll do my best to answer it.

3 week diet REVIEW
The 3 Week Diet is a new diet promising quick weight loss. It's creator, Brian Flatt, claims that you can lose between 12 and 23 pounds of fat in just 21 days. It seems a lot, so do his claims stand up? Does the 3 week diet really work? The 3 week diet is basically a combination of different diets which are chained together into different phases. The diet starts with a detox phase, then an optional fasting phase followed by two different low carb phases. As you might imagine with a diet promising such quick weight loss, the diet does seem quite extreme – and to carry out each phase to the maximum is not easy. As Karen found, it can make you feel pretty drained to start with. But as it's only for 3 weeks and the final phase is the least daunting, it is achievable. It is possible to do the diet in a slightly less extreme form, simply knowing that you're not maximizing your weight loss. As usual to aid weight loss, the weight loss plan includes an exercise program. This is split into two parts both with different types of exercises. The required exercise during the program is to walk every day before breakfast. The optional part is a classic dumbbell based workout program, which is intended to maximize fat burning. As this workout is optional, if you're not a fan of this type of exercise, it's no problem, you will easily lose weight without it, but you will slim more if you put in the extra effort. To balance against the restricted nature of the diet, standing on the scales each day and finding that you've lost weight is a great motivator. And that's the thing that keeps us going through the hunger pangs of the detox and fasting phases.

3 week diet REVIEW
Does 3 week diet work? As Karen found, yes it does work, although if you want to lose the 23lbs in 21 days that the sales video says is possible, then you'll have to work a bit harder and cheat less than Karen did! Theoretically, of course, it should work. Most of the diet phases specify low carb eating and there is a wealth of research showing that low carb is effective for weight loss. The diet's creator, Brian Flatt, quotes many scientific studies supporting his rationale for each phase of the diet and he explains how he tested out the diet on himself first. My personal opinion is that it looks like he's put the diet together using a process of trial and error and then tried to find some supporting science to bulk out the manual. This would be the reason that the science and the diet don't always match up. But regardless, the results speak for themselves.

Aspen Grille Ratings and Reviews
A creative take on American/Southern cooking that has always made me a happy visitor. Bartenders Scully and Alan are way above professional grade. Genuinely friendly, quick to assist and spot on with the mixes. The food is always fresh, a little surprising in a very good way and served in portions that often leave you some to take home. Awesome desserts too!
The Aspen Grille never fails to achieve the best possible experience. The food is usually local and always fresh. The combination of tastes exceeds my expectations every time. Not sure how it can possibly get better but it does. Highly recommend the scallop dish over mushroom risotto with fried spinach. Not sure how they get the delicate crunch on that spinach, but the flavors are so special. The staff is friendly and the service is excellent. Can't brag enough about this place.
We celebrated our anniversary here and one of the OWNERS had a handwritten 'Happy Anniversay Card' at our table with congratulations and thanking us for coming to Aspen Grille for our anniversary! Our very kind server brought our bread and I knew when I tasted that bread, we had made a good choice (I am very picky about bread). My husband loves French Onion Soup (which he is very picky about-he gave it a 10!!). For his entree he had the Shrimp and Grits which I also tried and it was the BEST either of us have ever eaten- a perfect brown gravy is hard to do but the chef nailed it to perfection. i had the Scallops with fried spinach and mushroom risotto—out of this world!!! You are going to be amazed how tender the scallops are plus you will be pleasantly surprised as the fried spinach literally melts in your mouth. I had rose with my meal and I thought it went very well with the scallops. IF you have room, the French flourless chocolate cake is a good choice.
Our new favorite place in Myrtle Beach—what a TALENTED chef!!!
Seared scallops with fried spinach: If you like scallops and are in Myrtle Beach you must eat here. Probably the best scallops I have ever eaten (and I have been eating scallops at least 50 years)! I almost didn't order because they are a bit pricey ($36), but so glad I did.
Staff was so wonderful and made my boyfriend's 30th birthday special! Food was really good and it wasn't overly busy, so that was nice. They had a personal card for him, and I requested glasses of champagne, which were ready upon our arrival. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and attentive but not overbearing. Lamb was very good and he enjoyed the strip. We will definitely be back.
Has a diverse and interesting menu. For starters the salads and escargot were excellent. The duck confit was very tasty and tender. The lamb was succulent with a flavorful sauce. The only disappointment was the duck breast which was very fatty. Desserts were great!
I never write reviews but my husband and I went here for our anniversary and it exceeded our expectations. We had a hard time deciding on what to order because everything on the menu sounded great. As an appetizer, we ordered the special lobster bites and salads with their homemade caesar dressing and some kind of vinaigrette that had an amazing flavor. When you're wowed by a salad, you know the food has to be great. I decided on the seared duck breast and my husband got the special hog nose snapper; both entree's were delicious. In addition to the incredible food and our very attentive waiter, the ambiance far exceeded my expectations. They had a singer with an amazing voice. She sang a variety of songs from different genres but all with a jazzy flare. Since it was our anniversary, my husband asked if she took requests and luckily she did. She sang our wedding song, Alicia Key "If I ain't got You"; despite it being her first time singing it, she was spectacular! I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion or date night. Unfortunately, we don't live in the area but next time we're in MB, we'll go back!
All four people at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We were having dinner with people whom we had not seen in almost thirty years so we chose Aspen Grille as a top notch place to spend dinner time with them. Our waiter was superb, the food was great and the evening was most enjoyable.
I was excited to try this restaurant out based on the menu as I was in town for a conference. Unfortunately, we did not eat because of poor hospitality from a hostess. She was rude to my friend which in turn upset others, including myself, at the table. We left. So disappointing!
This is the second time we've been here last was 3 years ago when visiting from Connecticut. We have been talking about it since then and couldn't wait to share with dear friends. Tonight was everything we'd remembered and more. The food was top quality, service personal and attentive, desserts were amazing. We wish they were in Connecticut so we could frequent more often. If you're looking for an dining 'experience' while on vacation- this is the place.
It was our anniversary so we wanted a nice place for dinner Aspen Grille was very good We felt a little rushed even though the restaurant was only 1/2 full The food was very good although my wife's sea scallops were a bit undercooked We unfortunately sat next to a couple where we could hear their entire conversation It put a damper on our anniversary celebration I would recommend the Aspen Grille
Aspen Grille remains at the top of my Myrtle Beach list. Always good food, very attentive service both in a clubby type atmosphere. Thursday night was Jazz night which was just delightful. The fresh catch is a changing treat and the wine list offers lots of interesting choices.
after spending most of last 10 years dining here, we stopped for a year because they changed a signature dish. A year later, after customer feedback they want back to original recipe. That was last year. This year they changed it again, for the worse- they were better off with the first change. The chef refused to can remake it as original, i was told no- order something else. So we left and will not return until they remake original. They did not charge for my meal, which was nice. Waitstaff was great , we tipped them well . Too bad they didnt learn their lesson- 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Ambiance is great with live singer who was very good. Romantic setting, excellent service with knowledgeable waiter. Food was major disappointment. Ordered lobster bisque @ $10, was average at best. Then grouper with mushroom risotto..$36. Grouper was waaaaaay overcooked. The risotto was an additional $2 upcharge. It was below average. I think my 10 year old daughter can make a better risotto. The restaurant would be excellent if it had a new chef. The current chef sucks. There are much better culinary choices in Myrtle Beach!
Booked for my wife's birthday. No mention by staff of the occasion. Poor management follow up for momentous moments in client's lives. Will definitely not return.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with dinner at the Aspen Grille. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and a written note of congratulation was left on our table from the owners and staff. What a special touch! Dinner was delicious and prepared with unique touches. My escargot appetizer featured slices of mushrooms. We both ordered Surf n Turf. The lobster, prepared "Aspen" style, was very flavorful and tender. It had been sautéed in a special sauce. Our beef was prepared exactly as we like. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive but not intrusive. We never felt rushed and had time to enjoy each course. We will definitely return again when vacationing in Myrtle Beach!

It seems too good to be true. The most popular boy in school has asked Jane out and she's never even dated before. Stan is tall and good-looking, friendly and hard-working everything Jane ever dreamed of. But is she ready for this?
Suppose her parents won't let her go? What if she's nervous and makes a fool of herself? Maybe he'll think she's too young. If only she knew all the clever things to say. If only she were prettier. If only she were ready for this...
With her usual warmth, perceptiveness, and humor, Beverly Cleary creates the joys and worries of a young girl's first crush.
A reprint of the original published in 1956, this novel provides a fascinating window into the past. The thoughts and desires of fifteen-year-olds may be the same today as they were over fifty years ago, as are the disagreements between protective parents and their teenagers who want privacy and freedom, but the look and feel is definitely very different. It may be hard for today's teen readers to relate to the quieter lifestyle focused on baby-sitting and on girls not socially able or expected to ask boys out or even be open about their desire to be asked out by boys. Today's young readers are generally used to greater freedom of expression than their counterparts in the early- to mid-1950's. This is certainly a book that can be appreciated today, particularly by those looking for a calmer, less edgy book for teenagers about high school, growing up, and dating.

U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., did not limit his activities this week to threatening cuts to Iraq war funding, talking tough with Bush administration officials and kicking hecklers out of the Senate Appropriations Committee
Colleagues from both sides of the aisle were on hand as the Senate Commission on Art unveiled a new portrait of history's longest-serving U.S. senator at the Capitol.
The Charleston Gazette has a story, while C-SPAN is offering video of the unveiling ceremony.
(Update: The Charleston Daily Mail offers a slideshow from the unveiling.)
(Update II: About a minute into the C-SPAN video is where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., refers to Byrd's accomplishments "for the state of Virginia." Grrr.)
The 89-year-old also saw the new Public Higher Education Center in his home county of Raleigh named the Erma Byrd Center to honor his late wife, the Register-Herald of Beckley reports.
And earlier this month, Wheeling Jesuit University awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters to his late wife, who died in 2006 just months shy of their 69th wedding anniversary. The Gazette reported on that event as well.

Byrd's Busy Week
Posted by Lawrence Messina at 1:30 PM 0 comments Links to this post
More Changing of the Guard
September's end marks the departure of several more figures from state government:
* Billy Jack Gregg is retiring after 26 years at the Public Service Commission as "the only Consumer Advocate West Virginia has ever had," as MetroNews reports.
"Gregg says he is most proud of his office's efforts during his tenure to thwart the attempted deregulation of the electric industry in West Virginia and the successes, he says, they had in limiting the increases for customers when natural gas prices shot up a few years ago," the MetroNews piece said.
* Ben Beakes is leaving as chief of staff to Secretary of State Betty Ireland. With Ireland deciding not to seek another term next year, Beakes is joining Petroleum Products Inc., The Associated Press reports.
Beakes gained a reputation as a tireless and knowledgeable aide to Ireland with county election officials, voters and the press. A Friday Parkersburg News article underscores the often touchy terrain facing the state's chief elections office.

They Voted For You: MoveOn.org
The U.S. House followed the Senate's lead this week and adopted a resolution that "condemns in the strongest possible terms the personal attacks made by the advocacy group MoveOn.org impugning the integrity and professionalism of General David H. Petraeus."
The measure passed 341-79, with Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, all voting for it.
The Associated Press offers details on the resolution, while MoveOn.org has also responded.
U.S. Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, both D-W.Va., voted against a Sept. 20 amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 that aimed to "express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces."
The Senate measure passed 72-25.

Spinners In The Hands Of An Angry Byrd
Senate Appropriations Chairman Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., dished out some fire and brimstone during Wednesday's appearance by Defense Secretary Bob Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace before the committee.
As The Associated Press reports, Byrd's speech at a hearing on a $190 billion Iraq combat funding request was punctuated by "tough rhetoric" and "was interrupted several times by cheers of anti-war protesters."
"The American public was sold on this war with metaphors about mushroom clouds and
fanciful visions of our troops being greeted as liberators," Byrd told the pair at one point. "The fear tactics and half-truths continue, as the President suggests that terrorists will 'follow us here' if we withdraw from Iraq, and the Administration grasps at every straw to demonstrate 'progress' on the ground."
C-SPAN offers video of the entire three-hour hearing. Byrd's speech takes up the first 12 minutes. (The so-called "Greek Chorus" begins at 8:55, but also check out the reaction by other committee members, particularly Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., at 8:11. And things really go south at 1:28:15.)
The committee has posted the text of Byrd's prepared remarks.
(Thanks to the Charleston Daily Mail for picking up a Washington Post column opining on the hearing, which was marred by "two dozen hecklers in the audience from the antiwar group Code Pink" who "continued to shout at the witnesses and wave signs for the better part of an hour.")
Byrd had vowed in a speech earlier this week that "I am convinced that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home, and the only way to get them home may be to somehow restrict the funds for this disastrous war."
The Charleston Gazette and MetroNews (with audio) were among those to cover the Monday remarks, while the Appropriations Committee has also issued a release on Byrd's statement.
(Update: Public Broadcasting has a piece on both Monday's remarks and Wednesday's hearing.)

Today's Batch O' Facts: West Virginians In The Military
West Virginians remain proud of their patriotism and their historic willingness to enter harm's way when their nation calls. The state has consistently seen solid contingents from its population fight in armed conflicts going back to the Civil War.
But in a question to Rudy Giuliani during his recent presidential campaign stop in Morgantown, one reporter asserted that West Virginia led the nation in residents per-capita serving in the military.
And state officials are among those who have boasted that West Virginia leads the nation in veterans, per-capita.
The latest figures from the U.S. Department of Defense count 9,318 active duty military and 7,480 reservists as Mountain State residents. These numbers suggest that nine out of every 1,000 West Virginians are in the military.
Fourteen states have higher rates, with Alaska leading the nation with 59 per 1,000 residents.
West Virginia ranks 12th for active-duty military (Alaska is again 1st), and 20th for reservists (Hawaii is 1st).
(DoD figures also count the number of active duty personnel stationed in states: West Virginia has just 489, while California has more than 150,000.)
As for veterans, the 2000 Census counted 201,701 in West Virginia, or 11.15% of the population, ranking the state 10th. Maine had the greatest share, 154,590 for 12.13% of its population.
The American Community Survey estimated veteran populations last year, again ranking West Virginia 10th with 12.5 percent of its residents veterans. Alaska topped that survey, at 14.6% of its population.

They Voted For You: Iran
U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., voted for a Wednesday amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 that sought "to express the sense of the Senate regarding Iran."
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., voted against the amendment proposed by Sens. John Kyl, R-Ariz., Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and others.
It prevailed 76-22.
Critics of current U.S. foreign policy have seized on specific language in the amendment:
"(T)hat it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies (and) to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments in support of (this policy) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies."

DeLay Comes To West Virginia

They Voted For You: SCHIP
West Virginia's entire House delegation - Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd -- voted to accept the Senate's amendments to the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.
The vote was 265-159. Capito was among 45 House Republicans to support the measure, while eight Democrats opposed it.
But as The Associated Press reports, "the Democratic-led victory may prove short-lived because the margin was too small to override President Bush's promised veto."
Bush has mischaracterized the bill, according to FactCheck.org, giving "a false description of proposed legislation to expand the 10-year-old federal program to provide health insurance for children in low-income working families."
Several West Virginia groups have weighed in on the legislation and Bush's veto threat, including to The Charleston Gazette, MetroNews and Public Broadcasting.

The Climate Change Debate In W.Va.
"Clean coal" technology, pursued by West Virginia to maintain its role in the nation's energy mix, is "hugely expensive" and "probably one of the worst ideas ever proposed," a Charleston audience was told Tuesday.
S. Fred Singer, described by The Charleston Gazette as "one of the nation's most outspoken and controversial climate change skeptics," said that "that humans aren't making the world warmer, and said state residents shouldn't try to curb greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants."
Singer spoke at an evening event "sponsored by Payne Engineering Co., the First Presbyterian Church of Charleston, Blackbird Technology Group of Indiana, and BB&T," the Gazette reports.
Public Broadcasting also covered the forum, reporting that Singer is considered "a sort of Rorschach test for your views on climate change. Environmentalists call him a 'climate change denier' -- like the people who deny the Holocaust. They blame him for working with conservative groups and the energy industry to delay action on climate change."
But Singer found a receptive audience Tuesday, which "listened eagerly as Singer gave his hour-long speech and took pot-shots at Al Gore, climate scientists and even his former friends in the oil industry, who he says are only admitting now to climate change because they see how can make money off it," the report said.
Singer is also "the founder of the Science & Environmental Policy Project, which disputes the prevailing wisdom on climate change," Public Broadcasting reports.

Thieves Exploit Mine Safety Push
In the wake of the Sago mine disaster and Aracoma mining deaths in early 2006, West Virginia adopted the stockpiling of emergency air packs in its quest to improve mine accident survival and rescue efforts.
The resulting caches, stored well within a mine, have become magnets for thieves, The Associated Press' Tim Huber reports. Massey Energy Co. alone estimates that 100 to 200 of the air packs have been stolen from its mine in recent months.
Rather than a new law, officials tell Huber they want prosecutors to pursue regular theft charges but to make such cases a priority.
"The approach comes on the (heels) of a harrowing attempt to steal eight emergency air packs from Massey Energy Co.'s Aracoma Alma No. 1 Mine earlier this month," Huber writes. "Authorities are searching for a suspect who allegedly started a multi-ton vehicle, taped the controls and sent it some 3,000 feet down the mine's tracks, where it collided with a second vehicle."

Witnesses Allegedly Bullied In DHHR Case
Public Broadcasting reports on allegations that the state Department of Health and Human Resources has intimidated witnesses not to testify in a discrimination case against DHHR.
(Update: The Charleston Gazette reported last week on the lawsuit and the alleged intimidation.)
The underlying lawsuit alleges people like Shawn Shumbera, a patient at the state-run Bateman Hospital in Huntington, have been wrongly barred from enrolling in a public program that would allow them to live on their own.
"The non-profit group Mountain State Justice says that DHHR officials routinely discriminate against people like Shumbera, who has been diagnosed as both mentally retarded and mentally ill," Public Broadcasting reports.
A lawyer for Shumbera alleges that a pair of Bateman staffers were willing to testify on Shambera's behalf -- until they were called in to a meeting with the hospital's CEO, a DHHR lawyer and other officials.
The witnesses now allegedly say they've changed their minds about Shumbera's case, and that they would not testify.
One of them allegedly said, "you need to remember who signs my paycheck," Public Broadcasting reports.
A DHHR spokeswoman declined comment for the story, "because of the lawsuit and because they don't want to violate Shumbera's privacy."
Public Broadcasting also offers the full text of the segment.

Election 2008 - Short Takes
* Elizabeth Edwards expects to be in Charleston for an Oct. 9 fundraiser for her husband's presidential campaign. As The Associated Press reports, the Democrat, North Carolina senator and 2004 vice presidential nominee had outraised the rest of the presidential hopefuls among West Virginia donors as of the last filing period. The Charleston Daily Mail, which was first with the story, notes that the event co-sponsors include Sen. Dan Foster, D-Kanawha and a physician, and city lawyer Harry Bell.
* The U.S. House campaign of state Sen. John Under, D-Berkeley, was the intended beneficiary of a Monday evening fundraiser in Washington, D.C. Hosts were to include top brass from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and both of West Virginia's U.S. House Democrats, Reps. Alan Mollohan and Nick Rahall. Unger has previously touted DCCC backing of his bid to unseat Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd.
* Delegate Tim Manchin, D-Marion, tells the Times-West Virginian of Fairmont that he has decided against a run for one of two state Supreme Court seats on the 2008 ballot.

Quote of the Day
"The ideas put forth in my book are more consistent with those of the Republican Party than those of the Democratic party."
-- West Virginia University economics professor Russ Sobel, while promoting Unleashing Capitalism at a GOP picnic Sunday covered by The Intelligencer of Wheeling.
Posted by Lawrence Messina at 9:15 AM 0 comments Links to this post
The Debate Over "Open For Business"
More than 61,000 votes were cast by last week, online and by phone, for a new slogan for West Virginia's highway welcome signs.
Conventional wisdom predicts that few favored "Open For Business," the mantra championed by Gov. Joe Manchin. But as The Associated Press reports, the debate over that slogan overlaps with the discussion over whether Manchin's efforts to date render such a slogan accurate.
In the name of "Open For Business," Manchin has led trade missions abroad, touted West Virginia at all manner of business summits and forums, and has even commissioned an eight-page ad supplement for major metro daily newspapers.
But also influencing the debate over the state's business climate is Unleashing Capitalism, edited by West Virginia University economics professor Russell Sobel.
The book has its critics, including some who welcome the effort but offer a mixed review. The AP article recounts how one GOP lawmaker denounced its chapter on the coalfields -- likening it to denials of the Holocaust -- as revisionist history.
But the book has been warmly embraced for its advocacy of free-market and libertarian principles. Both the state Chamber of Commerce and Republican Party have been offering copies to anyone interested, and Sobel has found himself a speaker in demand.
The Intelligencer of Wheeling reports the latest such public presentation, at a Republican Party picnic Sunday in Brooke County.
"Unleashing Capitalism will be our party platform next year," GOP Chairman Doug McKinney told the newspaper. "Our philosophy will be, 'It's the economy, Stupid.'"
"McKinney and Sobel were among those attending an 'old fashioned picnic' for Republicans Sunday at Eric Freeland's farm on Windsor Heights in Brooke County," the article said. "Copies of Sobel's book were available for $10 each at the event."

West Virginia's Mini-Casinos
Kanawha County plans to hold public hearings next month so residents can weigh in on the 157 bars and clubs that together host 731 video lottery machines in the county.
Officials there hope to catch the attention of the Legislature, but lawmakers tell The Associated Press that they're highly unlikely to do anything about these mini-casinos until their licenses come up for renewal in 2011.
The AP's Vicki Smith also notes the revenues that flow from these machines to the state _ for Promise scholarships, schools and economic development funding _ and to county and local governments across state government.
The article also cites the 2001 law that created this arm of the state lottery system, by outlawing the infamous video poker "gray machines."
(At least one reader earlier questioned some of the representations made about gray machines. The AP article draws from a census conducted by the State Police in early 2001. It found 13,519 of these machines at 2,645 locations statewide. The video lottery system, as of August, had 8,178 video lottery terminals at 1,658 locations.
These gray machines operated in places well beyond the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration-licensed clubs and bars to which they are now limited. The census found them in grocery and convenience stores, video rental stores, bowling alleys and pool halls and, yes, even laundromats.
These machines were widely believed to pay out illegally. By way of comparison, the machines operating legally grossed $397 million during the last fiscal year.)
The Journal of Martinsburg also delves into the video lottery issue. Berkeley County officials expect the machines to deliver $311,000 in revenue this year, and they tell The Journal "that's fine by them."

Abbreviated rules 07/28/2017Underdawg did an excellent job of explaining the rules. Here's the simplified version: Don't insinuate Pedo. Warning and or timeout for a first offense. PermaFlick for any subsequent offenses Don't out members. See above for penalties. Caveat: if you have ever used your own real name or personal information here on the forums since, like, ever - it doesn't count and you are fair game. If you see spam posts, report it to the mods. We do not hang out in every thread 24/7 If you see any of the above, report it to the mods by hitting the Report button in the offending post. We do not take action for foul language, off-subject content, or abusive behavior unless it escalates to persistent stalking. There may be times that we might warn someone or flick someone for something particularly egregious. There is no standard, we will know it when we see it. If you continually report things that do not fall into rules #1 or 2 above, you may very well get a timeout yourself for annoying the Mods with repeated whining. Use your best judgement. Warnings, timeouts, suspensions and flicks are arbitrary and capricious. Deal with it. Welcome to anarchy. If you are a newbie, there are unwritten rules to adhere to. They will be explained to you soon enough.

And may he Rest In Peace out of the Bay Area. (Had I known I might have come back sooner!)
Regarding GGYC, it has both thrived and stymied as the holder of the Cup. In their best moments they had a gorgeous club full of people and the hottest tickets in town. In their lesser moments, they are held hostage by the strength of the voting members from OTUSA (or threat of vote) which keeps the same leadership in place, and as a result, their growth as a yacht club has lagged behind their peers. As a member bonus, they screened the AC on tv and charged their own members $50 to swing by and watch racing. While the rest of the clubs in the area showed it for free. Hope this AC change of hands brings the ggyc back to Yachting. I think the RNZYS knows well how to handle it.
Hey y'all! I was worried about PB not covering earlier in the series and was glad to see him more conservative in the last few races in terms of covering the field. IMO, by far, the two winning moves of the series were that major prestart turn and hook and the early gybe. And Damn! He won well and simply out drove our beloved Jimmy. And while Jimmy complained about the software affecting his start line estimates, PB was busy winning it on the water. Really skilled driving of a machine whose forces throw men off the boat regularly. I tried to to stay away from the Cup this time but today, I think the good guys won and I wanted to savor it a little longer. I have missed the intelligent (mostly) snarky back and forth here. Dixie
Alameda Marina outboard theft. (with Video) from GA.
Dixie replied to Frank White's topic in Sailing AnarchyActually there were four total people. Three for the first boat and one new guy (?) for the second boat. It's amazing how much time elapsed and not a soul noticed. I suppose the car owner's associates could say that they thought they were his boats. I hope they get caught and the motors returned, but given the passage of time between motor 1 theft, and motors 2 and 3 theft, I expect Motor 1 was sold, and now 2 and 3 have also. What a darned shame. Two shifts of a foot patrol or a Marina proprietor who actually walked the grounds, would have stopped that.
yep...and Mirthmaker turned back too (for health reasons). From the Pac Cup Website: Overnight we learned that the double handed Santa Cruz 27, Alternate Reality, had dismasted, and is heading toward Santa Barbara. Their communication was calm and professional, and there were no reports of any injuries. Skipper Darrel Jensen, sailing with his brother Doug, is a veteran of four Pac Cups, one Transpac, a Vic Maui and many other offshore races. Experience will certainly pay off as they make their way back to shore, safe, but undoubtedly disappointed. The Cal 40 Psyche has also turned back and is nearing Monterey Bay after dismasting. Psyche and her crew aren't new to ocean racing having previously sailed two Transpacs. Read the story on their blog. The Nelson Marek 36 Alegria was forced to turn back due to a fuel leak, and is now safely in Half Moon Bay. Looks like the following have had to turn back thus far (and thankfully, safely) Psyche Alternate Reality Mirthmaker Alegria Velocity
I cannot fathom the feeling on the way home under slow motor and blue hills, awaiting that mast to come down. https://billyspaccup.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/disabledmast.jpeg?w=381&h=286
Oh that's super sad. Were all ok? edit: never mind, found this: https://billyspaccup.com/ they seem to be fine, albeit disheartened.
Wade Edwards. R.I.P
Dixie replied to Tanton Y_M's topic in Sailing AnarchyWade was generous in friendship, making you feel like family, and a sailor to be reckoned with. Still can't believe he's gone. Sail on, Wade.
The Parker guys interviewed are all in SoCal - Irvine. I believe Pier 80 was given back to the Port of SF a while ago. And I'm sure SWS will correct me if I'm mistaken.
After the Presidio commission said no, the city offered sea wall lot 330 ( recall that rather controversial lot from AC34 negotiations) and Lucas declined. That's the very very short version. And there are differences but the take away is that the chance to have a home grown billionaire build a dream on our ports was once again rejected by the city's wacky vision.
LE trusts RC quite a bit LE is not interested in bleeding money for the AC. The fat lady still hasn't sung for San Francisco. The spotlight is just no longer on her, allowing for talks behind the scenes. There are people quietly continuing the campaign to support SF as a host city for the AC35. I think that campaign should be louder. In that Willie Brown interview, he said he tried to find an entertainment opp for the city once a month that would drum up revenue. If the city looked at the AC differently, as one of several entertainment opps, perhaps a shortfall with the AC would be offset by other events that had more upside.
You know what really bugs me about this decision was the lack of public information early on about SF being at all on the rocks. Woulda coulda shoulda I guess. But I'd have been glad to ramp up the old grass roots campaign several months ago if I thought it'd make a difference. Seems just one day of it got people rumbling. Oh well. New headaches, controversy, and financial analysis ad nauseam for another fair city. Until the Cup comes and then it's really a lot of fun.
I am with you Kadyca. I think it's down to BER, SD and SFO. The universal reaction to CHI is (no matter the legal-ness of it) something along the lines of: Fresh Water - what? The venue just has to make basic sense in order to sell the concept. SF and OR just have to make some sort of deal the elected officials can sell to the voters in the November election. I really don't think BER makes sense on a number of levels, though they do have those nice pink beaches. SD, in my opinion has a fighting chance.
In Bernie's recent article, he did not confirm that Chicago was actually in play. He indicated that Bermuda and SD were. But he did say in the headline, Three Venues. Reading between the lines, I can only think that SF is still a part of this puzzle, and like last time around, SF is working on competitive bids for the Cup. Maybe it won't be in SF, but I don't think the fat lady has sung yet. Especially when this message from Peter Stoneberg is going up on FB support pages, Ehman's FB page, and other local rags. "Recent press reports have said that San Francisco may be out of the running to host the 35th America's Cup. If true, after such a great event last summer, the loss would be profound for San Francisco, for sailing and particularly for the America's Cup. San Francisco and the Bay present the finest venue in the world for the America's Cup. As a sailor, I feel that SF is the best a venue can offer: consistent strong winds, flat water needed for foiling cats, breath-taking scenery for TV backdrops, a world-class metropolitan area, plentiful free public access to watch the regattas, and a City that got behind the racing and wants the America's Cup back. As a businessman, I saw the 34th America's Cup generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity for San Francisco, create thousands of jobs for the region and showcase our spectacular waterfront to visitors from around the globe. As a Californian, I saw our state demonstrate how the oldest trophy in international sport could be open to all citizens to view for free, to promote an environmentally connected sport, to use engineering and information technologies to do things that were thought impossible even just two years ago. Thanks to Larry Ellison's and Russell Coutts' vision and resources in conjunction with the ACEA and in cooperation with the City, the Cup was revolutionized last summer and brought the sport of sailing to millions of spectators in person, on TV and over the web. Thanks to Jimmy Spithill's leadership on the water, the OTUSA victory has been widely characterized as the greatest, most thrilling comeback in the history of sport. As Former Secretary George Schultz recently said "God created San Francisco Bay for the America's Cup". I am only one of many that agree. As a sailor, citizen and America's Cup fan, I hope that ACEA and GGYC continue the great momentum created last summer and the Cup can return to the Defender's home waters. If you enjoyed watching the Cup, got a job because of the Cup, enjoyed the economic benefit from the Cup and/or would just like to see the Cup come back to San Francisco, please take a moment to make a comment here, write a letter to the City and ACEA and let your voice be heard. Let's not let silence or the vocal minority take our Cup away."
It's leased through June 30, according to Ed Lee. Www.tinyurl.com/oraclejune30

What's in a name? The developer vs programmer non-issue.
I remember seeing the "Developers vs Programmers" article on digg recently. I did think at the time that it was a bit over the top. Mike has managed to capture my exact feelings on this subject in this post: http://weblogs.asp.net/miked/archive/2006/10/13/_2200_Developers_2200_-and-_2200_Programmers_2200_.aspx
The thing I like most about Mike's post is the theme of "teamwork". There are many aspects to software development. Being a "guru" at all aspects is becoming more and more impossible. It is all to common to think in black and white these days. Every subject seems to be polarized. In my opinion the world is a better place when we treat each other with respect and recognize each others abilities and contributions.
So thanks, Mike, for reminding me that not everyone in the world sees things in such black and white terms.

Life goes on…
It has too!
I can never go back, I would jeopardise everything and I couldn't do that, not to him.
Everything's 'peachy' around Stokely. All accept my heart, my memory and my life which lies at the bottom of the blood pool.
But I have to move on, to forget and to live as a simpleton. No one can know of the lives that they lived, the decisions they made, what they did!
My life is a lie, I'm a fraud, a cad, I should be cleaned, I should have forgotten.
It's time to take a deep breath and say…
…There's no such thing as Vampires, they don't exist.
* * * *
My life has ended but my death has just begun.
I lost!
I can't go back, for I am washed away from memories and I couldn't mess with his mind, not him.
Everything's evil here at the castle. All except my heart, my memory and the life I used to lead which has come to an abrupt end.
But I must move on, forget it and to live as a Vampire. No one can know of what they saw, what they believed, what we did to them!
My death is wrong, I'm not evil, or vicious, I should be normal, I want to breathe.
It's time to wake up and tell myself…
…I'm a Vampire, the Chosen One who will lead us to glory.

I'm new to biking, and have a Varadero 125.
I got some tcx boots which are mohoosive and I can't actually get my foot under the gear lever at all. I can't find any info if its possible to adjust the gear lever. Is it just a case of undoing the 2 nuts on the linkage and twisting this to move the lever up? Or have I got to take the lever off the spline to make the adjustment, and will this work or is there further adjustment to make afterwards? Thanks

Unsearched Half Dollar Roll - Possible Kennedy Franklin & Liberty Silver
I just received a large quantity of rolled half dollars. In the first two boxes I opened, I pulled out over 50 silver coins (see the third photo.) From the next box I opened, I pulled out three rolls with silver showing on the end (see the first photo.) I'm keeping these three rolls, and selling the rest. Each purchase is for ONE UNSEARCHED ROLL as illustrated in the second photo. You are not purchasing the silver I have found in the first or third photos. Some rolls have coins on the ends that appear to be uncirculated (or at least, very lightly circulated since they are in these rolls,) as well as a couple of proof coins, and a lot of bicentennials.Please do not leave negative feedback if you buy a roll with no silver - I can not guarantee what is in the rolls since I did not wrap these coins or break the rolls. The only guarantee I make is that you will receive a machine-wrapped roll of 20 half dollars. All rolls purchased will be shipped on Tuesday or Friday via USPS - I will select either First Class or Priority Mail depending on the quantity purchased. Shipping is discounted if you purchase multiple rolls, but I make no guarantee that you will be charged the actual shipping cost. Keep in mind that between ebay ... read more

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace, Dayton, OH, USA
For over for years the Unitarian Fellowship for World Peace has been serving the greater Dayton area with projects pertaining to peace education, community building, art appreciation and peace building... The projects have included some fascinating art exhibitions, community peace events, immigration awareness projects & programs, international peace education projects and more. If this can be done with just volunteers and a shoe string budget, think what could be achieved if we invested in peace like we invest in defense(war).
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would like to see the gallery in a higher traffic area and be able to expand, but this take a bigger budget so that will have to be in the future.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Quite well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

The NPS is pleased to release the first update to the new interactive Lineage Report. Corrections and additions have been made, as reported by pony owners, and newly registered ponies have been added as of June 30, 2017.
We have made every effort to incorporate all the changes that have been brought forward, but if any have been missed, please let us know.
A recent NPS Board resolution to have the Lineage Report updated on a quarterly basis has been accepted, so the next update will occur the end of June 2017.
We encourage all pony owners to continue to forward suggestions and recommendations!
Please click on the link below to see our newly formatted Registered Newfoundland Pony Lineage Report for all registered ponies up to Registration #805 (current to January 31, 2017). We have also added a new Family Tree Feature that allows you to click on the Registered Pony or a Dam or Sire on the lineage report to see a 'Family Tree' of that pony. It's exciting to note that we have over 215 ponies registered that were born in 2000 or later. We know that there are many more born before or after 2000 that aren't registered yet, so please encourage any pony owners you know to register their pony or ponies. Please note that we have striven for complete accuracy, but if you note an error for your pony or a pony known to you, please let me know so we can look into it and make whatever correction is necessary. We hope you will find the new format and family tree feature useful. If you have any difficulty using this report please let us know.

A very quick report on 3 days in Vegas...
first, the out of the way (off the strip)
Lotus of Siam - yes, go there, it's as close to a sure thing as you can get in Vegas, with the wine list of any German reisling lovers dreams. sea bass with drunken noodles was the dish of the trip.
Mariana's Supermarket - want some very good, authentic Mexican that's dirt cheap? this is your place. amazingly good lamb burrito, yummy pozole, great selection of meats for tacos, etc. and you can pick up some detergent and eggs when you're done.
Orchids Garden - solid dim sum, not spectacular, not bad.
Sen Sushi - Taka level, Nobu level, whatever you want to compare it to, it's very good. ex-Nobu sushi chef, prices that will have you swearing off the strip sushi joints forever.
On the strip...
Bartolata at the Wynn - way overpriced, tacky decor, mediocre to good to almost very good food. no way I would ever recommend this place. the same bottle of JJ Prum Riesling Auslese we had at Lotus of Siam was literally 3x as expensive here. not surprising. (great wine by the way, we did not choose to order it at Bartolata)
Red 8 at the Wynn - very good upscale Chinese, not too bad on the value scale actually and pretty authentic. really good pork buns. they also have chicken feet, what more could you ask for?? (actually, the chicken feet was the least interesting dish we had, I'm not a fan)

After the retirement of animation master Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli has lost another one of its finest members; Michiyo Yasuda, animator and color designer at Ghibli, has passed away at 77. This woman, who had originally picked the creative field as a way to avoid more standard jobs, is behind the colors and the moods of most of Miyazaki's masterpieces.
- Legendary Studio Ghibli Animator Makiko Futaki Dies Aged 58
- The Dark Inspiration Behind These Miyazaki Masterpieces Just Makes Them Even More Fascinating
- What Miyazaki Films Tell Us About Lost Childhood
'Color Has A Meaning'
While Yasuko Shibaguchi wrote a book about her work in Japanese in 1997, Yasuda has been the object of few reportages in English. The best insight into her work was probably her interview with the LA Times in 2009, during which she described her closeness to Miyazaki and the thought behind her process:
"What I like best is when I am building up the colors in my head, thinking of how to get the tone worked out. Color has a meaning, and it makes the film more easily understood. Colors and pictures can enhance what the situation is on screen."
Speaking of Ponyo, she expanded on the feel the colors had underwater:
"Colors vary from the basic ones to the colors when the character is in the water. I want to show the audience how you see or feel the color in the water. The colors of the water vary from bright to the deep, dark sea. In choosing colors for the sea — under the sea or the water itself — I hoped that the character of Ponyo, her true love, Sosuke, and the viewers would all see and feel the beauty of nature in the film."
Like Miyazaki told the Daily News, it was people's mistreatment of nature that inspired him to create Ponyo, so it's fascinating to see how much thought went into transcribing the beautiful fragility of our environment.
"I saw how people have polluted the sea, and came back home really angry and irritated."
Did You Know All The Miyazaki Movies Yasuda Worked On?
It's certainly that thoroughness that has allowed Yasuda to collaborate on almost each of Miyazaki's movies, from Nausicaä to The Wind Rises — which they both came out of retirement for — as well as other Ghibli gems. While the following list doesn't include the entirety of her work, it shows the extent of her talent:
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, 1984
- Castle in the Sky, 1986
- Grave of the Fireflies, 1988
- My Neighbor Totoro, 1988
- Kiki's Delivery Service, 1989
- Porco Rosso, 1992
- Princess Mononoke, 1997
- Spirited Away, 2001
- Howl's Moving Castle, 2004
- Ponyo, 2008
- The Wind Rises, 2013
Rest in peace, Yasuda.
Which of these Ghibli movies is your favorite?

ADo you charge less if your a home baker?
NO, why would you? That's the problem with some new home bakers. I have been there and learned the hard way. Don't undersell yourself, your time is worth more than you think. Not to mention, when you undersell yourself, your undercutting a cake artist, bakery or decorator in your area that has worked hard to get established. I realized long ago that selling my cakes cheap was a disservice to them and myself. Since I was not selling cakes for a living, I was taking from someone who depended on that money to support a family or their business. Now I have my pricing where it should be and I'm not always the cheapest choice but my time is worth it. Either they will use me or they won't but I will feel good about my price the next day. HTH
P.S. Search for the jason_kraft profile. IMO he's like the pricing guru/rock star. In his signature line on his profile page (scroll to the bottom of the page) there is a link with pricing information. Also, CakeBoss software is a wonderful tool for pricing for the home baker. You will still need to do some research for your local salary for your skill level, input your local ingredient cost and there's a small learning curve. However, it's a start. Not to mention the legal side. But that's a different question. GL
A^^ This. ^^
No. In fact my prices are slightly higher.
ACheck out the Pricing Formula link in my signature below.
ADo you still have to pay for the property your bakery is based from? Do you still have to pay for gas/electric to bake your cakes? Insure yourself and your property? Buy equipment and ingredients? Those costs don't go away because your location happens to be a home rather than a store.
Another difference is that a larger bakery can get bulk pricing, a small home baker doesn't. A larger bakery also can be more efficient, making large batches of icing, batter, larger ovens, etc so that they can be more efficient than a smaller baker. So a small baker will likely have greater expenses in some categories.
AI hate that I'm so bad at pricing and feel bad for overpricing even though it cost me lots
Original message sent by madaboutsweets
....and feel bad for overpricing even though it cost me lots
said no one ever.
AWhat gives you the.impression that you're overcharging? I mean, if you're pumping out star tip sheetcakes on aluminum foil covered boards at Sylvia Weinstock prices, then ok,but really, why do you think you're over charging? (I have no idea what kind of work you do, my example was pulled out of thin air)
AI do lots of fondant I. Ok I guess cakes are normally a couple of tiers filled [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3044841/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
AThat's one I did and have to redo for a client with another ill show you
ANice work, but let's hear about why you think you're over charging. That's really probably not true. :-)
AOk when it's family and friends is ay ok buy me the ingredients and ill do the rest..... Those two pics I'm charging for both 350-400
I'm not that great at pricing as of yet (no business yet...haven't had a chance to even work out a pricing sheet...working on research now) but I really don't think you are charging too much...as long as you are following Jason's formula, I think you should be fine. Do NOT ever think that you are not worth being paid for your beautiful work!
AI usually call local bakeries to see what they are charging just to get an idea. I am home based so I charge just a little less than the bakery would.
ATo see if I'm charging too little for a cake.
Original message sent by tina0719
To see if I'm charging too little for a cake.
I think the question was why you charge less than a retail bakery just because you're based at home. If you find out what the market value is and then price yourself below that, you are charging too little for cake.
AI get my supplies dirt cheap and buy in bulk. I know someone who owns a cake supply store. I have no employees to pay nor do I pay the electricity. So even if I charge $20 to get the customer it wont hurt me.
AI meant $20 less
AI just found I get more business that's why I do it.

It actually is hurting you (and the entire market) by lowering the perceived value of the product among your customers. Check out the "Pricing, Market Value, and Economic Damage" article in my signature below for more info.
AOk thanks I'll check it out.
AI charge $5.00 per person plus the design price. I dont do any cakes less than 30 people.
ADesign price would usually start about $80


text: Caribbean Bermuda plans to improve ground transportation for cruise visitors By Gay Nagle Myers / January 11, 2013 Share 1 -- A fleet of 10 new buses is expected to arrive in Bermuda by mid-year to help transport cruise passengers from the Royal Naval Dockyard on the west end of the island to Hamilton and St. George's. The lack of buses and capacity on the existing buses made for transport chaos last year when there were not enough seats or vehicles to handle cruise passengers and locals trying to get around the island at the same time. Shawn Crockwell, the newly sworn-in minister of tourism development and transport, is drawing up plans for the arrival of the 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway, which is scheduled to make the first of 22 trips from New York to Bermuda in May. Plans include beefing up ferry services, upgrading the existing fleet of island buses, repairing the wharves at the dockyard and sprucing up the area to entice cruise passengers to linger longer and spread out the rush into Hamilton.
