I'm just rereading the Film Development Cookbook this week. It's still a useful reference. It's the book that inspired me to try pyrogallol-based developers, which I still use today.
Michael...looks like a worthwhile read..I ended up ordering it from Amazon
If you prefer the highest quality possible , I think nobody argue with Kodak. And if you want cheap , buy from short end movie film sellers and order Kodak 5222. It can be 5 or more times cheaper than TMAX and Ilford. My eyes could never loved Ilford 400 asa films but FP4 with Pyro developer is very very special.
If you are living in USA , liquid HC110 would be cheap and Ansel Adams used it for years. It is best developer Kodak was producing in few generations. If you want another Ansel Adams developer , it is D23. If I am not wrong , it is not hard to homemade and everything needed is under hand.
Pyro developers are toxic but wonderful and stain the film and fill the gaps between the grains. It graduates the hardness and may be thickness of the film based on light hit zone.
If you dont inhale the powders , no problem but reading and reading is important.
Another wonderful developer is Rodinal but sourcing it is complex. But Leica advised to its camera users few times.
Its a wide ocean and have fun.
If you are not afraid of a bit of chemistry you could try and make/ alter your developers to match the exact effect/tonal structure of your film. It takes a bit of work and trial and error but in the end it is well worth it. Personally I really love using WD2H Developer with Efke 25 or 50, both in 120 or 4x5 format. The staining of this Pyro Developer on slow or medium speed film is exceptional, especially old style, silver rich film.
Well that's my take on that.
No need to match film to chemistry. All B&W developers Kodak and Ilford sells are generic to all B&W films. You just have to find the right temperature/time for the film. I use D76 for everything. It's very forgiving and pretty universal, not to mention widely available.
I use Arista Premium film which is the same as Kodak Tri-X in private branding. It works exactly the same way except it's quite a bit cheaper.
I use t-max developer for everything.
TMAX was my second developer and first from Kodak, and it is my favorite developer, i ran out one bottle and have all the results decent, i bought 2 more bottles but i will use it in the future as i am sure about it, i just test more another developers to have backups or options, Ilfosol 3 is great too, D76 gave me results fine but not as TMAX and Ilfosol 3, HC-110 i used once recently and will use it again for another waiting film, but the first impression giving me that this developer will be in same class of TMAX.Ilfosol 3 and not D-76.
Ilfosol 3 is the Ilford equivalent of HC-110.
Coz Ilfosol 3 is like HC-110 dilution B. Not like the original syrup.
But i might be mistaken. Ilfosol S would be the real HC-110 equivalent, as Ilfotec LC29 and HC are. Sorry.
I think you might get more accurate info on this APUG thread:

instead of just simply pasting a link to a user profile or tediously writing
[name](link) why dont we have markup that will dynamically insert the current name of the user and a link to their profile. Two ideas are @u34537 (u to define user and not post) or :user34537:
instead of just simply pasting a link to a user profile or tediously writing
This can be especially practical for comments, for one. When users change their names, some comments become useless.
Can you give an example of when this would be used? Surely one doesn't need to link to a user's profile page that often.
Edit: ah, you're wanting better notifications on comments. I'm not sure if you realize that addressing a comment "@Name" doesn't actually notify them that there was a reply -- only the author of the question/answer the comment is on will receive a notification. However, adding a feature to notify all previous commenters has been requested many times previously: Make recent activity and responses show new comments on questions/answers I have commented on (even if I don't own them)

Notable Quotables - 11/17/2008
Case Closed
"Media bias largely unseen in U.S. presidential race"
— Headline over November 6 Reuters dispatch claiming no liberal tilt in favor of Barack Obama.
New President = New Rules
MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "You know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work, and I think that-"
Host Joe Scarborough: "Is that your job? You just talked about being a journalist."
Matthews: "Yeah, it is my job. My job is to help this country....This country needs a successful presidency more than anything right now."
— MSNBC's Morning Joe, November 6.
Moderator Gordon Peterson: "Are the mainstream media bashing the President unfairly?"
Newsweek's Evan Thomas: "Well, our job is to bash the President. That's what we do."
— Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.
The New and Improved U.S.A.
"This nation woke up this morning changed. As one columnist put it, America matured in 2008 by choosing Barack Obama."
— Anchor Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News, Nov. 5.
"When was the last time our nation cheered this much?... 'We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union' — that's what the Constitution says. Last night, all across America, for so many people, that's how it felt. A more perfect union."
— CBS's Byron Pitts on the November 5 Evening News.
"Melting Pot of Communal Joy"
"When you work here in the crossroads of the world, you get used to group jubilation in various forms. But last night was transcendent. It was something else entirely....A melting pot of communal joy....Voices from around the world shouted of the greatness of America. And it really came in ebbs and flows. When the announcement was made, literal dancing in the streets and then, it calmed down. And people were locking in embraces."
— ABC's Bill Weir on Good Morning America, Nov. 5.
Our New Prince of Hope
"Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope....Barack Hussein Obama did not win because of the color of his skin. Nor did he win in spite of it. He won because at a very dangerous moment in the life of a still young country, more people than have ever spoken before came together to try to save it. And that was a victory all its own."
— Time's Nancy Gibbs in the November 17 cover story.
Welcome to Camelot II
"As the nation prepares for President-elect Barack Obama to move into the White House, many Americans can't help but draw similarities between him and the late President John F. Kennedy....The similarities are striking. JFK was 43 when he was inaugurated. Obama is just three years older, bringing a certain youthful vigor to the White House, including, young children....Kennedy had more than his share of charisma and Obama knows how to light up a room. But it's their wives who might be the real superstars."
— CBS's Harry Smith on The Early Show, November 7.
Leaping to Something Better
"If Americans elect Barack Obama President, we will evidence for ourselves and for the world the truth said by our forefathers to be self-evident....As we start this new century now at full speed, Americans seem on the verge of, in one vote, achieving two goals: taking a great American leap towards something better, and uniting our country as never before in our history."
— Chris Matthews closing out his syndicated Chris Matthews Show, November 2.
Obama Will Bring Us "Excellence"
Newsweek's Howard Fineman: "Obama's changing everything as he moves. His victory speech last night in Grant Park which was so memorable on so many levels...."
Host Keith Olbermann: "Is there going to be an overarching theme in the appointments? We discussed this last night, competency, bipartisanship, diversity, newness, where are they going?"
Fineman: "Well, it's going to be all of those. But I think, if you had to pick one, it would be excellence. Barack Obama is a guy who appreciates excellence and focus. He's a guy who appreciates results."
— MSNBC's Countdown, November 5.
One Giant Leap for Mankind
"You've seen those videotapes of Walter Cronkite the night that man landed on the moon for the first time, when Neil Armstrong stepped out and he could just barely get out monosyllables. Politically, that's what this is. This is man on the moon."
— MSNBC's Keith Olbermann during live coverage, Nov. 4.
Chris Won't Pull Any Punches
"It was Hollywood. It was romance. It was realism. The technical quality of it, the production values were perfect, the way they timed going to live, the biographical material. But most important, the connection with the average person in the economic turmoil we face right now I thought was fabulous....Everything was just right....You'd have to be a tough customer not to be touched by it."
— MSNBC's Chris Matthews moments after his network aired the half-hour Obama infomercial, October 29.
Obama's "Center-Right" Chief
"Putting the White House team together is critical as well. That's why the Rahm Emanuel choice [for White House chief of staff] is so interesting. Is the President-elect going to be moving toward the, sort of, center, center-right, which is often where Emanuel is seen?"
— CNN special correspondent Frank Sesno on American Morning, November 6. Emanuel has a 96% approval rating from the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, but just a 13% American Conservative Union score.
GOP's "Rat Hole of Distraction"
"Look at how our attention was able to get pulled into pigs and lipstick and plumbers. We got a plumber who's the third member of the GOP ticket, in effect, and that's — it's all of our fault, yes, and there will be time to bloody our own backs with chains, but it's also the sorry state of our discourse....We may decide we went down too many rat holes of distractions on our way there."
— NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams on PBS's Tavis Smiley, November 3.
Palin: "An Empty Designer Suit"
Reporter David Wright: "Last summer, McCain mocked Obama as an empty-headed celebrity....But then he created a celebrity of his own."
Clip of John McCain: "When you get to know her, you're going to be as impressed as I am."
Wright: "Many were impressed, but plenty of others came to see Sarah Palin as an empty designer suit."
— ABC's World News, November 5.
Charming New York Times
"East Germany Had Its Charms, Crushed by Capitalism"
— Headline over an October 29 New York Times review of a book bemoaning the introduction of Western capitalism to the former Warsaw Pact country.
New Depression Means New WPA
"As I listen to these conversations and I read these numbers about how bad things are, I'm thinking WPA, I'm thinking it may be time for Americans to do something like that once again because there's so many people unemployed and there's so much that needs to be done in this country."
— CNN midday anchor Rick Sanchez, referring to the 1930s Works Progress Administration (WPA) of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, during live coverage after Barack Obama's post-election news conference, November 7.
Admitting a Little Bias
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: "The media has been really, really biased this campaign, I think....Is the media just in love with history here, Mark, do you think?"...
Time's Mark Halperin: "I think mistakes have been made and people will regret it....If Obama wins and goes on to become a hugely successful President, I think, still, people will look back and say it just wasn't done the right way."
— MSNBC's Morning Joe, October 28.
"If Obama wins then he'll be the object of tough scrutiny even by journalists who share much of his world view. But on the social issues — gun control, abortion, gay marriage, religion — I'm not sure we're that even-handed.... Journalists move easily in the world of business Republicans, less easily in the world of Evangelical Republicans. So that makes it easier to slip into caricaturing social conservatives at times, and we should try harder to avoid it."
— New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof in a November 4 posting to his "On the Ground" blog.
Our Liberalism Has "Nil" Impact
"Yes, in the closing weeks of this election, John McCain and Sarah Palin are getting hosed in the press, and at Politico....We'd take an educated guess — nothing so scientific as a Pew study — that Obama will win the votes of probably 80 percent or more of journalists covering the 2008 election....[But] of the factors driving coverage of this election...ideological favoritism ranks virtually nil."
— The Politico co-founders John Harris and Jim VandeHei in their October 28 column, "Why McCain is getting hosed in the press."

Yada-blah; sometimes flirting :P then boom!

What Guys Said 6
He's young, horny (right in the middle of his sexual peak years), and being led by his penis. He is looking for someone to have sex with. He's hoping that someone could be you.
If that's not what you are looking for, you should tell him so. He'll probably lose interest and move on, but some guys will keep at it hoping that the girl will change her mind. If he does that, you might need to be more direct, such as blocking him on FB and so forth.
sounds like one night he got lonely, real lonely; and what he did triggered an insatiable hunger haha. He was honest be honest back. You don't like it, throw that in his face; don't mess him around by avoiding it or something, that'll make him more frustrated. that or turn him on but first tease him a bit but seriously once you made up your mind don't go back and say I don't want it.

Which Indian scripture is equal to the Koran or Bible?
Actually there is none. It is very difficult to say.
The Vedas are considered as the main source (of knowledge), but it is so vast. For all practical purposes, Bhagavad Gita is what everyone reads because it has the essence of most of the main knowledge. So Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita can be considered as the Bible or Koran of the East. That is what is used in the courts also.
The Gita is only 5,200 years old, but this tradition has been there before the Gita, from several millenniums. In Rama's time, there was no Bhagavad Gita, only the Vedas were there, but the Vedas were in such an ancient language which people could not understand. The Vedas need a lot of interpretation, and they are very symbolic in many places.
The Upanishads and Vedas are considered the authority, and the Bhagavad Gita for practical purposes is the Koran or Bible of the east.

Sandy Sandfort, Michael Pento: 'Buy and Hold Gold'
November 26, 2015 – By Daily Bell Staff
One of Wall Street's fundamental memes is that no matter what is going on in the larger market, one should always be prepared to sell gold. Precious metals could devalue down to nearly nothing and still the cry would be raised on Wall Street to "sell." This analysis, excerpted above, was written by Michael Pento, president and founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies. He may be "talking his book," but that doesn't necessarily make his points less valid. Pento has discovered yet another anomalous ...

Hello Stephanie Brim,
I am still using an FE for work, along with lots of lenses. In the wide range, it seems many find the 24mm f2.8 to be an excellent choice. Compact and light weight, and much less than the f2.0 version, while in my opinion outperforming the faster lens in the corners. These 24mm f2.8 lenses are fairly numerous on the used market. I have used the 28mm f2.8 and 35mm f2.8, and just don't like the results at the corners; unless you are only going to use them at f8.0 or f11, where they are okay.
My favorite Nikon wide lens is actually a 35mm f2.8 shift lens, but those are not relatively cheap. If you ever have the cash to go for one, or find a good deal on one, it is a really outstanding lens design. Results wide open and unshifted are quite nice.
On the 50mm Nikon choices, I went through a few f1.4 versions prior to finding a nice one. I had trouble with decentering, which could have been abuse or lack of quality control. Hopefully you find a nice version. My favorite 50mm f2.0 is actually the AI long barrel version, which I also own. Anyway, hope you enjoy your FE and whichever lenses you find for it.

GARDEN RIDGE (February 15, 2014) Preliminary autopsy results show that Leanne Bearden, 33, a Colorado woman who disappeared nearly a month ago after going for a walk in a San Antonio suburb, hanged herself, authorities say.
Bearden disappeared Jan. 17 after leaving the home of her husband's parents in Garden Ridge, located just outside of San Antonio.
Her body was found Thursday in a thickly wooded area about a half mile from the house.
The preliminary autopsy results indicate her death was caused by asphyxiation, police said.
Police said their investigation is closed, with the final ruling on the death pending toxicology results.
The couple had been traveling the world for the past two years.

Poor service, dark and uninviting. There was a bad odor along the corridors and in some of the rooms. The breakfast was a shambles with appalling service - flys on the tables, 15 mins to get a fried egg, no coffee/tea refills - just a rotten experience.
September 19, 2010
Overall hotel staff were great, I ended up getting a room that was not satisfactory and they changed my room and made check out time later with no questions asked. Checking out the view is definitely better at night. Bed is super comfortable with super cushy pillows.

Launched at Cannes Film Festival to strong reviews, 'Lawless' is a period drama based on the true story of the Bondurant brothers. The story is about the three brothers who made a living bootlegging moonshine during the Depression in rural Virginia.
LAWLESS is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant's family in his novel "The Wettest County in the World", the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation's most notorious crime wave.
Directed by John Hillcoat and released by The Weinstein Company, Lawless stars Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska and Shia LeBeouf. It's gearing up for a theatrical release in the USA on 29th August and UK on 7th September. Check out the trailer below:

5 tips for Prospecting
It doesn't take sales to grow your business - it takes relationships
|Report an Error
Share via Email
By: Sharon Aschaiek Special to The Star
It doesn't take sales to grow your business — it takes relationships.
That's what Steve Slaunwhite tells entrepreneurs looking to attract more customers and close more deals — don't promote your business, develop good rapport with people who are interested in your product or service.
"Most business owners are uncomfortable with a sales approach because their strength is not in being persuasive and closing sales, but in the focus of their business," says Slaunwhite , a Toronto-based marketing coach and consultant. "Once you take a relationship-building approach, prospecting becomes more comfortable and, therefore, more effective."
Changing your definition of prospecting is Slaunwhite's first tip for small business owners trying to generate new leads; here are five more of his top prospecting guidelines:
Be selective
You probably have a specific type of client in mind — that's who you need to target. Consider the types of sectors, industries and/or businesses that have the highest need for your offering, then, says Slaunwhite, contact the point people at specific companies with the most potential interest in hearing from you.
Do your homework
Slaunwhite advises entrepreneurs to learn as much as they can about potential customers and their business needs before making connectings. Review their company website and LinkedIn presence to get a sense of current activities, upcoming events, recent projects, key personnel and so on.
You can also use LinkedIn to determine if you share any common contacts with prospects that might be able to facilitate an introduction. Leveraging these relationships, says Slaunwhite, can greatly increase the chance of a successful connection.
And, he says, it's important to stay current on trends and general issues within your target sector so you know what's important to prospective clients, and how your services or products are relevant.
Create a personal message
Use what your research has found to create a tailored message that resonates with your prospect's current business activities and needs. This shows you're plugged into their company and their sector, says Slaunwhite.
"Prospecting is not a cut-and-paste form letter. You are trying to have a conversation," he says. "While you will have some key messages to emphasize, every interaction must be customized,"
Suggest an easy next step
New prospects may be interested in your business, but, just like in dating, they want to get to know you better before making a commitment.
Slaunwhite says you'll want to build relationships slowly by offering businesses an easy next step, such as inviting them to view your portfolio online, providing a fee schedule, or suggesting a follow-up meeting in person or by phone.
Slaunwhite's favourite second step is offering a buzz piece — a special report on a current trend or issue relevant to businesses in your target sector (see Slaunwhite's website for tips on creating one).
"It enables prospects to become familiar with your work, and it positions you as an expert," he says.
Focus on actions
Develop a process for documenting your prospecting so you can track results and stay motivated.
Slaunwhite says a good goal is 20 prospecting actions a week, which include finding or following up with a new prospect, or arranging a new introduction.
"If you keep doing it, you'll get good results," he says, "including referrals through word of mouth, which is the benefit of a relationship-building approach."

With all the divisive battles and partisan bickering in Washington, here is something positive that all the major stakeholders agree on: S. 820 will improve the treatment of egg-laying hens, and provide a stable and secure future for egg farmers. That's why the bill is supported by animal welfare groups, the egg industry, veterinarians, and consumers.
Most egg-laying hens are currently crammed into such small cages that they can barely move an inch for their entire lives. This legislation will require larger enriched colony cages which provide each hen with about twice as much space, as well as nesting areas, perches and scratch pads so they can engage in more natural behaviors. It will also ban inhumane practices such as forced starvation molting, and require labels on egg cartons so consumers have more information about the conditions in which hens were raised.
Egg producers would have an ample phase-in period to transition to new housing systems, much of which can be done in the normal process of replacing aged equipment, and they would have a single national standard and a level playing field rather than the current patchwork of conflicting state laws.
And consumers will barely notice the difference in egg prices, since a recent economic study found that the changes would result in less than 2 cents more per dozen eggs, and only years into the future, much less than the normal fluctuations in the egg market due to energy, feed, and other costs.
This legislation is a win-win for all parties involved, and you don't see that very often in Washington. Sen. Max Baucus serves on the Senate Agriculture Committee, and he should support this bill, which is good for the egg industry, good for the economy, good for jobs and good for animals.

Since the Citizens United decision, too many political organizations have been granted the tax status of social welfare organizations, in spite of the fact that they are funded by Carl Rove or the Koch brothers.
In trying to cope with that situation, the IRS may have resorted to improper identification methods, but that is hardly "criminal."
The IRS's budget is down. Their duties are increased. Most employees of that agency haven't had a pay raise for three years. But the IRS is an easy target.

The federal budget cuts that were put into effect this spring, aka the "Sequestration," have affected many of us. Certain programs have fared better with the so called "Sequester Exemptions." But to the Indians it has been devastating.
On reservations in America's most deeply impoverished communities, where there is 85 percent unemployment, housing programs are being shut down. Despite the overwhelming problems with alcohol, meth, suicide, and crimes against women, the police force is being cut to the bone. (For example, at the Pine Ridge Reservation there are now only nine patrol cars on duty to cover an area the size of Connecticut.)
Health care is moving toward emergency-only medical services. Head Start funds are being slashed, the school budget is disappearing, and Meals on Wheels for the homebound elderly is being cut.
From birth to the grave, all native peoples are being afflicted.
As American Indians, we have had our lives, our land, and our culture taken from us. We thought it couldn't possibly get worse, but it is.
Join with us to reverse this latest violation.

everyone just carries differently. I measure 39, but this is my 5th kiddo, so my uterus is a pro at popping out and making me look gigantic. I've been showing since 12 weeks. My doc was a little concerned at my 30 week appt so she did an u/s to check baby's growth and she was measuring 2 weeks ahead, but not big enough to really concern her. Im scheduled at 39wks 1 day for c section, if she gets a LOT bigger (and because i have a child with a birth injury as well as a 10lb+ baby in my history) they would opt for a 38 week c section. But so far no major growth spurts since that appointment. you may be as big as your going to get and baby will just keep growing and getting cramped in there. I told my hubby the other day i was feeling like a beached whale and he said "i'm glad you said it first"- i punched him in the arm for it, but its the darn truth right now. last trimester is definitely NOT fun! =)

I love every Oyin Handmade product that I've tried...except this spray. The thing is, it does moisturize, but in the way a humid day does: my hair looks like it's been through the muggiest Florida day ever after a spray of this (and I don't live remotely near Florida). Spray and go? I can't leave the house for the frizz this caused. Unfortunately I found this out after just having flat-ironed my hair ... I had to rewash and re-flatten it directly afterwards. Lesson learned. It also makes my hair poof up when it's in its natural curly state, and frizz like crazy.
I give it an extra star because I have found a use for it: I spray a bit on just before a hair wash, under a silk or plastic cap, and it's a good moisturizing treatment for immediately before a hair wash. Everyday use is a no go, though, which means I am still in need of an everyday moisturizing oil and a styling oil. I'll probably go back to plain jojoba for styling, and keep searching around for an everyday oil spray.

Summary: Herbal scent, Soothes scalp & moisturizes Low porosity Type 4 hair; No larger sizes available
I purchased 2 bottles of this from CurlMart 3 years ago during the Gray Thursday promotion. Go Tea Grooming Spray To Go is the perfect soothing cooling toner for the scalp. It also adds shine, elasticity & moisture to my low porosity, dense, medium-coarse 4B waist+length hair. Due to the oils it contains hair doesn't react to the glycerin. I can spray this on and go without sealing. I love the herbal (lavender, sandalwood & tea tree) scent & the durable aluminum packaging. The bullet shaped sprayer is very convenient for travel. Unfortunately 4oz is the only size available. I use it up too quickly for Go Tea to be a staple. I now use the container for Greg Juice & Frank Juice. I would repurchase if Oyin made larger refill sizes.

I used this product again and again and it works great. It softens my hair very well. It does what the bottle says. This is the only product I like from Oyin Handmade. That's it. The other products don't do justice.

I actually like this product. I definitely nourishes my hair very well. It did exactly what it said, so I give this product a thumbs up!!!!

HG Product!!! I love this for my thirsty coils. I wake up in the morning and if my hair has a little crunch I just spritz in my scalp (If I my scalp could talk it would say AHHHHH!) and on my ends. Absolutely worth the money. It softens my hair without making it greasy or filmy. I wish it smelled like the berry pomade but hey as long as it works right!

The single most glaring defect in our mostly admirable political system is the presidential selection process. You can point to other defects -- the equal representation of the states in the Senate, judicial usurpation of decision-making on sensitive issues -- but the downside risks are greater in the selection of the one official who is far more powerful than any other. So what's wrong with it?
It starts too early, takes too long and ends too abruptly. Thirteen months from today -- and 10 months before the general election -- we will probably know the nominees of both parties. Some candidates have been busy running most of last year, and now they're busy announcing their exploratory committees. So anyone who doesn't want to devote two or three years to nonstop fund raising and campaigning is ruled out. That would have eliminated past candidates like Dwight Eisenhower.
Then the races for the nominations tend to end abruptly. Iowa caucus-goers and New Hampshire primary voters -- fewer than 350,000 people in a nation of 300,000,000 -- effectively chose the Democratic nominee last time, a choice many Democrats now regret. In 2000, 573,000 South Carolina primary voters effectively chose George W. Bush over John McCain.
It excludes many serious candidates. There's an assumption that anyone who hasn't held elective office is ineligible, which means that almost no one with actual working experience in the White House runs. The exceptions for 2008 are Hillary Rodham Clinton and, if he runs, Al Gore. Talented White House veterans like Hamilton Jordan or James Baker aren't considered presidential timber. The exception to the rule was Colin Powell, but he didn't run.
Instead, there's an assumption that just about any U.S. senator, no matter how bereft of managerial experience, is eligible. John Edwards used the proceeds from a $25 million lawsuit to win a Senate seat and has spent most of his time since running for president. Barack Obama won a Senate seat over weak opponents and delivered a stirring speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and now he is off and running, too.
Edwards and Obama are, in different ways, mesmerizing speakers and may turn out to be good managers, as well. But we have little way of knowing whether they will.

Buffett-Backed BYD's Profit Plunges 94% on Handset, Solar Units
By Bloomberg News - Aug 27, 2012 9:00 AM PT .Facebook Share LinkedIn Google +1 0 Comments
Print QUEUEQ..BYD Co. (1211), the Chinese carmaker partly owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/B), said first- half profit plunged 94 percent, dragged down by its solar-cell and handset units.
Net income fell to 16.3 million yuan ($2.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, compared with 275.4 million yuan a year ago, BYD said in a statement to the Shenzhen stock exchange yesterday. Sales rose 0.2 percent to 22.6 billion yuan.
« Why does Munger still believe in it? »
Just my opinion, I believe he's stubborn and simply refuses to admit he made a mistake.
To answer your question from the other board, which, by the way, is almost exclusively devoted to politics and nonsense.
BYD was not listed in the 2011 AR, but it was listed on page 17 of the 2010 AR.
As of 12/31/2010
225,000,000 shares

being up 4x is a "mistake"?
you just lost your ability to claim the other board is devoted to nonsense.
Thanks a lot. Looks like there is a gain still so why not liquidate. Munger may see something in the longer term..who knows

Baylor Bears
Photos: Five burning questions for the Baylor Bears' 2012 season
Photo: Michael Ainsworth/Staff Photographer
Question: Is Baylor becoming a recruiting hot spot? / Why it's important: With Robbie Rhodes recently committing to the Bears and the possibility of Ricky Seals-Jones, the nation's top receiver of the 2013 class, joining the team, the question of Baylor turning into a recruiting hot spot has been aroused. Five years ago, hearing that a Texas recruit decommitted and could end up in Waco would be more of a joke than a real possibility. When Art Briles first came to Waco, he brought Robert Griffin III, a three-star recruit and he wound up being a Heisman trophy winner. Is that, along with the a new stadium, attracting more athletes? Probably. Will the trend continue? Only time will tell.

Wished there was an ice machine in the motel. I had to ask restaurant staff to get ice from their machine. It was a bit dirty, but manageable. Also, more TV channel would be nice other than 11 they offered.

Officials said DeJuan Anthony Jordan, 38, was convicted in Indiana on a sexual battery charge. The victim was a 15-year-old girl.
On May 1, Jordan was released from an intermediate sanction facility in Childress, Texas, and was scheduled to arrive at a halfway house at 1650 Horizon Boulevard on May 2 but never arrived. He is now wanted on a parole violation charge.
Lewis Dwayne Toussaint, 49, allegedly left the same halfway house on July 15 after he was given a pass to go to University Medical Center but never returned. His ankle monitor last recorded his location at the intersection of Montana Avenue and Geronimo Drive. Toussaint was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman and is on parole on a charge of delivery of cocaine. He is also wanted on a parole violation charge.
On April 22, Mario Mungrillo, 41, was allowed to leave the same halfway house to go to the Texas Workforce Commission offices at 300 Main Street in El Paso but never returned. He is a registered sex offender and was convicted in Bexar County, Texas, of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The victim was a 6-year-old girl. He is also on parole for driving while intoxicated.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jordan, Toussaint or Mungrillo is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 566-8477. Callers will remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward if their tip leads to an arrest.

Hooksett to restart its talks with Pinkerton
HOOKSETT — During a heated Hooksett School Board special meeting Tuesday night, the board agreed to restart negotiations with Pinkerton Academy in hopes of sending high school students to the Derry school by next fall.
The decision came in two separate 3-2 votes, including one to reverse a decision that would have delayed the start of any contract to the 2015-2016 school year.
"In light that one of the two issues that stalled negotiations is now off the table, and we should get this (negotiation) back on the table and do it as quick as possible to give the 8th grade class some solace," board member Cheryl Akstin said.
Pinkerton Academy sent over a newly revised contract this past weekend, surprising some board members. Superintendent Charles Littlefield had told the board last week it would be nearly impossible to negotiate a contract in time for the next school year.
Board member Phil Denbow said the board had a non-public meeting with school district attorney Ed Kaplan to review the proposed contract by Pinkerton Academy. He said just prior to Tuesday's special meeting, the board had been authorized to say that Pinkerton has dropped its concern regarding the wording of proposed Memorandums of Understanding with Londonderry and Bow that would allow the two school districts to refuse to admit Hooksett students with records of violence or drug use.
"With one of the two issues addressed, I want to continue to work on the other one," Denbow said.
Board members Trisha Korkosz and Denbow joined Akstin in voting to continue the negotiations. David Pearl and John Lyscars offered vociferous opposition to the plan.
Pearl said the Pinkerton contract will have restrictions on the number of students who would be allowed to attend other schools. As long as the restrictions remain, he said he would not support the contract.
"Buckle your seatbelts Hooksett," Pearl said, "We're now chasing down a restrictive contract when we have not agreed what circumstances people can opt out."
Lyscars agreed, and said that just when parents in the community started to feel solace in knowing what would happen for next year, the board has changed its mind again.
