Herman Cain Reverses, Signs Pro-Life Pledge on Abortion
Washington, DC -- Herman Cain has reversed position and decided to sign a pro-life pledge on abortion a prominent pro-life group has had other Republican presidential hopefuls sign that Cain initially declined to attach his name to months ago.
(Excerpt) Read more at lifenews.com ...
Better late than never. I like Herman Cain much better than Newt or Perry, but it was silly to argue that he can't sign because it requires him to "advance" pro-life legislation when this guy is promising to make his "999" tax plan a reality.
Shameful political stunt.
Gives Mittens cover for his flip-flops?
Is he still supportive of openly gay people in his staff still, or has he decided against gay lifestyles too? NOT that there's anything wrong with it...
Just trying to keep up...
Cain has lived an incredible pro life existence, and I don't think he needed to sign this pledge. These stupid pledges - ALL OF THEM - are simply a way to make the organization that developed the pledge more important.
He's put more than a million of his OWN money into pro life causes, more than any of the self important bureaucrats with this organization has done. So in a way, I"m sorry he felt the need to play their game. He's lived it for crying out loud!
Ya think?
BoingBoing...you seem to be up on all the latest Cain trivia...is he still supportive of openly gay people in his staff still, (NOT that theres anything WRONG with it) or has he decided against gays, now, too? ...
Just trying to keep up...
That's his choice.
What gave you the first clue.
I have never even given him a first look.
Inexperience and unqualified.
Apparently people are starting to figure that out.
That's how I feel. Unnecessary pandering that will hurt, not help, him.
PERRY DOES on PRO-LIFE.
WHAT has Cain Actually DONE to stop the murder of the unborn?
>> That's how I feel. Unnecessary pandering that will hurt, not help, him. >>
You are right, especially since he's made a point of saying "I DO NOT PANDER." Of course, he's probably hired some "consultants" now and I bet they advised him to do this. He should have ignored the advice.
"Shameful political stunt."
That is exactly what this is.
This is just another do-over in a long string of do-overs for Cain.
>> WHAT has Cain Actually DONE to stop the murder of the unborn? >>
Spent a million bucks of his own money for a pro life outreach.
What have YOU done?
Rick Perry. He's for securing the border, exceedingly generous "opt outs" of forced vaccinations and...what else? I forget.
< /dripping sarcasm >
Herman Cain has always been 100% pro-life. As a very successful CEO, he knows the devil is in the details, and he is not dictator material. So he has now signed the pledge only to prove he is, indeed, 100% pro-life. It wasn't wafflling, nor did it indicate any change of mind.
Help me out, I want to vote for the pure candidate who is not a hypocrite in any part of his life. What is his name?
Pray for America
Well, it looks like we were right and Herman was wrong about "advancing legislation".
Was this done for Political purposes?
Oh I don't know. Blocked Abortion clinics, with other pro-life supporters.
I like more action than words. Perry has taken action.
See Post 21, Perryderriers
Yeh...Cain suggested electocuting Mexicans. And he's running for President??
"Lupe Trevino, the elected Democratic sheriff of urban Hidalgo County, said the Ranger Recon program was "an obvious political ploy" as Perry wades into a bruising Republican primary for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
"We don't need the Texas Rangers to come to the border to quell any imaginary disturbance," said Trevino, vice chairman of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Southwest Border Task Force.
Texas Rangers Assistant Chief L.C. Wilson, who is overseeing the Ranger Recon teams, said he planned to discuss the plan with some border sheriffs this week at an out-of-state conference.
But Wilson said Perry's announcement that the Ranger Recons would be used to "address the increased burglaries of rural homes, ranches and hunting camps in remote areas along the Texas-Mexico border" wasn't the whole story.
"What we're really worried about" is the spillover of the drug cartel violence in northern Mexico, he said. "That's what the governor doesn't want coming over here."
Wilson declined to release any information regarding the placement or number of what he characterized as "outdoor SWAT teams," but said they were trained and equipped for "nighttime domination."
"We want (smugglers) to be fearful that anytime they come over they could be running into a team," he said."
Seems Perry and the Rangers are right.
Yesterday in Houston area. A grain truck loaded with drugs was headed north. A CI was driving being followed by agents. Next thing you know a car with Zeta Cartel thugs drove up beside the truck and shot the CI. The agents following opened fire along with Sheriffs deputies.
One Deputy was shot in the firefight.
You can Thank Janet Napolitano and Obama for the DRUGS headed to a school near you.
At least with Perry as President, we might actually slow this crap down.
It is obvious that there are some in Texas that are making money off of this nightmare and Perry as President would be the last thing they would want.
....unless the question is about his granddaughter.
Why don't you Perrbots just tend to business and stop posting your stupid remarks s on company time? What are you, a bunch of bureaucrats?
Very funny.
What detail devils is he talking about?
But he signed it anyway. Wow, What a guy.
or lying your butt off.
Has he changed position on gays? he used to be all for openly gay staffs, too. Not that there's anything wrong with it...
Cain promises to build a fence, but he's never built a fence, and he's never actually done ANYTHING to stop illegals from coming into this country.
"build the fence" is trivial platitudes for a guy who has lived his life not doing anything to stop our open borders.
Perry is rated good on border security, and has a real plan to stop illegals. He has actually DONE the job of stopping illegals coming into Texas. He won't waste money on a useless fence like some other candidates who don't have any idea how to secure a border.
As to this, I don't know if Cain is committing a shameful political stunt now, or if he was committing a shameful political stunt before when he wouldn't sign. My guess is that his handlers have finally explained to him that one of the jobs of President is to get congress to pass laws he wants.
Now, his handlers need to tell him that the President doesn't sign constitutional amendments.
Then they could do the much harder job of explaining to him that the President is the representative of our country to the world, and actually has to understand the basics of foreign policy. That is, if his handlers have figured that out yet.
That's the truth.
My point is, you thought it insulting that someone might assume you've done nothing simply because I don't happen to know about it- and you're right.
Thus, you were being not only insulting but a hypocrit too by assume Cain had done nothing simply because you had not heard about it.
So I trapped you, and you fell in hook line and sinker.
If his "standing up" to the Union Leader and to the pro-life-pledge organization are any indication, I wonder why anybody thinks he'll stand up for any of his OTHER heartfelt positions when it becomes clear the politically expedient thing is different?
What has Herman Cain done for border security? He backtracks on almost every controversial thing he says and the apologizes for it.
Cain has actually taken Perry's border security plan and has been touting it! and poorly I might add.
Cain didn't apologize for being pro-life, he simply completely messed up what it meant for several months, confusing people into thinking he was only personally pro-life but wouldn't push his views through government action.
On the other hand, Cain hasn't actually DONE ANYTHING to stop abortion, at least not that has been reported anywhere. There's no indication he picketed abortion clinics, or lobbied for pro-life restrictions, or refused to offer abortion in the health insurance he gave to his Godfather's employees.
He's never voted on ANY pro-life legislation, or enacted anything.
Rick Perry, on the other hand, has. Defunded planned parenthood. Require sonograms before abortions. Support adoption measures. Pro-life license plate.
He's been a force in the pro-life movement. He's spoken at pro-life events. He opposed embryonic stem cell research, partial birth abortion.
Same thing on border security. Cain has done nothing to secure the border. Perry has been pro-active; building fencing where it would help, deploying texas rangers, apprehending illegals, putting them in jail and pushing for the feds to deport them. Perry has a strong border security record.
He is also a proven fiscal conservative, and won't waste money on a useless fence just because saying he will is "politically expedient". Nobody is going to build a fence across the Rio Grande — Perry is just the only candidate who is willing to tell you what should and shouldn't be done, while the others just say "build the fence" because it's easy to say.
Herman Cain has no record, only words so it I guess I'm just gonna have to take his word for it, except it changes regularly.
Wasn't it awesome when he shouted about the electric fence and the apologized the next day and said it was a joke.
It was cool when he had the smoking guy Mark Blockhead in his ad but the apologized for that too.
Wasn't 9-9-9 cool until he changed it to 9-0-9 for special zones when someone complained about the poor getting the shaft.
I guess I just have to have faith because he has no record.
I am most definitely pro-life, but I reject the whole notion of pressuring candidates to sign pledges about this area or about any other.
First, Perry and Cain are 2 of the 3 candidates I like the most.
BUT: you and Normy are being ridiculous in your pro Perry anti Cain argument in this regard: you criticize Cain for a number of things, including not physically joining clinic blockades and not specifically enacting legistlation — therefore - you doubt his pro life credentials.
That would be like someone else doubting Perry's credentials on the free market because he's personally never hired a single person in the private sector.
It is simply foolish to expect everyones' life experience to be the same. I don't doubt Perry's committment to the free market. You shouldn't doubt Cain's pro life stance.
Do you remember the "Caveman Lawyer" skits from Saturday Night Live back in the 90's? Phil Hartman was the caveman lawyer and he won because he would always say "Well I'm just a caveman and I don't understand all your advanced ways" but that was the joke, he did understand it was the fact he was a caveman that gave him cover.
Cain uses this too only it's "I'm just a pizza guy so I don't understand all your strange Washington/Media ways so I might have screwed up", but he does understand because he was a lobbyist for 3 years, one of Dole/Kemp top advisers a losing Senatorial candidate and a losing Presidential candidate and he sits on several corporate boards and he had his own political talk radio show.
MONEY. ANYONE can throw a few bucks at a cause.
It was YOU that got caught with your arrogance.
What legislation has Cain supported with that big voice of his. I never listened to him, maybe you can list them for us.
Well said!
Herman Cain has already proven he is pro life.
I don't expect Cain to do anything to stop abortion unless he wanted to donate to a cause or something but here's the problem.
Cain voted for Clinton (according to Cain's communication VP). Now Clinton has never been pro-life. His wife voted for someone in the Dem primary and whoever that was wasn't pro-life.
If it is part of your core, you would vote that way at least. Then he botches 3 interviews and even after making a clear statement of his own beliefs as being 100% pro-life personally, he goes on Fox and Friends as agrees that abortion should not be part of the political discussion. It makes no sense.
You keep on with your 8% boy. That's what makes America great.

UniPixel Shares Take It On The Chin 11 commentsMay 19, 2013 1:07 PM | about stocks: UNXL
UniPixel shares traded down 26 percent Friday on startlingly heavy volume of seven million shares. A number of different factors came together to drive the stock lower. I'm presenting what I've heard about each of these below, along with some of my own commentary. I would emphasize that much of this is based on rumors circulating amongst the buy and sell-side on Friday.
1) On Thursday the US PTO published an Apple patent application related to a touch sensor design for large area touch screens. I can understand how this would cause some uncertainty, but it's hard for me to believe this would create a large decline in UniPixel's share price. The patent addresses the design of a grid pattern for a touch sensor. OEMs/display manufacturers sometimes design their own sensor patterns for use on their machines. They may patent these designs. There isn't much new in this development, obviously most OEM and display companies don't manufacture their own sensors - they request that their sensor supplier use their proprietary design. In other words, if Apple were to one day work with UniPixel, Apple might have UniPixel engineer UniBoss according to the design assembled in the patent application.
2) There was a story on Bloomberg that Goldberg Capital, a top five holder of UniPixel, had lightened their stake. Again, it's hard for me to believe this headline would cause panic selling. Regardless, the story was false. Goldberg didn't buy enough shares in the recent secondary offering to keep their percentage ownership in the company flat - I guess that's what the author intended to say. Further, I spoke with Goldberg Capital Friday; they were buying shares in the open market during the panic selling.
3) Craig Hallum made some comments about ATML beginning to ramp production. Atmel had mentioned that they would soon be qualified on their last quarterly call, so I don't read this part of the Hallum call as the kind of call that would move UniPixel.
Another part of Hallum's call had to do with the fact that Atmel said that their line would produce 1mn units/mo which would equate to around $100mn annually. This boils down to around $8.30/unit if you simply divide the units by the revenue, so some salespeople at Hallum may have been making the call that Atmel would be pricing at around $10/unit.
There are a couple things wrong with this analysis. The $8.30 figure would be correct if Atmel achieved 100% yields, and produced at capacity for the entire year. If you look at most analyst models for UniPixel, you'll see that they have the company producing at levels far below capacity (some at 20-30%) for the first couple years of production. In fact, in my model UniPixel ends the year at a bit over 1mn units/mo capacity but is generating revenue at a rate of just $20mn annually. Yet you would be mistaken if you assumed that I was using a price of $1.60/unit for UniBoss. Instead, I'm assuming that the company is producing at levels far below stated capacity. Atmel is likely doing the same in their prediction of revenue generation.
The other significant point is that Atmel is selling their XSense into smaller form factor devices. In these devices, ITO is more competitive from a price perspective, and XSense would likely be priced at less than $20 ft2. If UniBoss sells into these markets, it would face the same pricing environment. I believe that the company has even referenced this on a call. Most analysts have reflected reduced pricing in their UniPixel models as production volumes ramp significantly, and the company expands its product base into smaller devices.
4) I thought the most significant rumor that came to light Friday was the one regarding UniBoss's revenue ramp delays attributed to Microsoft Blue. To put this development into context it's necessary to understand how it fits into the short thesis. Professional shorts (as opposed to the shorts who comment on SA) don't believe that UNXL will be able to produce commercial quantities of UniBoss. Part of their thesis holds that as UniBoss begins its scheduled production ramp we will begin to hear about delays. These delays will always be attributed to someone other than UniPixel, but the ramp will be delayed over and over again.
The Microsoft Blue delay fits perfectly into this short thesis. Many of the larger longs understand this thesis, and they may have been shaken by the Blue delay as well. In my opinion, this rumor was the most important driver of the selling on Friday. That an item like this can drive the stock down more than 25 percent, speaks to the nerves of investors who understand what a critical juncture we're approaching on the road to commercializing UniBoss.
Some have speculated that a delay attributed to Microsoft Blue is sheer nonsense. This is just an excuse to cover for the fact that UniPixel is having problems producing UniBoss. I don't believe this is the case. As suggested in this article, the updated OS from Microsoft is going to have a large impact on the notebook market, particularly in the third quarter. Why launch a new model with an operating system that will be outdated as soon as it hits the shelves?
The Microsoft Blue delay is real. Could it also be hiding something more insidious inside UniPixel? Sure, but I think the possibility is remote. The company's body language has never been as strong as it is now concerning the manufacturing process around UniBoss. The new product is benefiting from the combined oversight and collaboration of some of the best process and technology engineering talent in the world. These engineers hail from companies such as Kodak, Dell, and Intel (the latter two being my best guess). UniPixel management seems very excited about the pace at which production is developing.
We investors need to get used to the fact that UniPixel is just a component supplier within several large systems. Delays are commonplace in these systems because the systems are complex and involve so many players. A last minute tweak to some software might cause problems for a controller which needs to be redesigned. This might lead to changes in the touch sensor or to other parts of the system, and there is a cascading effect which introduces more delays. All component suppliers are used to these delays. This is why it's important to have a portfolio of customers and design wins - one might be advanced while another is delayed. UniPixel is putting together a portfolio, but it's not there yet. This leaves the company vulnerable to specific model delays (and to system delays in this case).
With the UniPixel shares down 25 percent on no real fundamental change, long-term investors (like Goldberg) were accumulating shares Friday, and they will return to the stock Monday morning. That said, the shorts have made a point. The Microsoft hitch has highlighted the fragility and uncertainty in the UniPixel story - some of which cannot be controlled by UniPixel and/or Kodak. This may be the first of many bumps in the road - get used to it. Delays logically increase UniPixel's risk premium. Each side has something to which they can cling regarding Friday's sell-off.
My perspective hasn't changed meaningfully. I think that the probability that UniPixel and Kodak will successfully commercialize UniBoss is still high, but the timing of that commercialization has become less certain (warranting a small sell-off). Recent support for the commercialization argument has come from some competitive successes. These successes have validated metal mesh as a viable technology. The hardware industry is coming to understand that not only is metal mesh real, it is the logical answer to producing large format touch displays. This is removing obstacles to the adoption of the technology. Very high quality products embedded with metal mesh sensors are appearing on the shelves of your local Best Buy and in other places. The proof is here, metal mesh works and it produces high quality displays.
I think the shorts are mistaken to believe that ATML/CIT, Mirae Nanotech, or FujiFilms could produce a workable mesh and that Kodak/UniPixel cannot. XSense shows us that a small company can invent a ground-breaking technology in the field - later to be commercialized by a large partner (even if that partner has limited experience in commercial films). Mirae's success shows us that a smallish functional film producer can bring a somewhat inferior, 10 micron silver emulsion product to work in a high quality, large format display (such as Samsung's 23" AIO shown above). UniPixel has a more elegant solution than these firms, and I believe the obstacles to UniBoss production are fewer. This small technology outfit produced a breakthrough in fine-line conductor printing, and now the behemoth functional printing expert, Kodak, will commercialize it with UniPixel's help.
None of this suggests that UniPixel's UniBoss is a guaranteed success, but it would worry me if I were a short. Knowing that UniBoss claims a process that is simpler than that of its competitors, and materials that are often easier with which to work, I would be uncomfortable assuming that Kodak and UniPixel could not achieve success. UniPixel has demonstrated they can hit product specifications in less-than-ideal, small run situations. They've also told us that the product holds up well in all manner of tests on a stand-alone basis, leading me to believe that the chances of testing successfully when integrated into a display are very high. They could fail, but the stars have certainly aligned favorably.
It's going to take a few quarters to rid the production monkey from UniPixel's back. There will be more set-backs, but there will also be plenty more victories. My guess is that future delays or set-backs will not impact UniPixel shares to the extent we saw last Friday.
Finally, and most importantly, I would just like to mention that all of us are wishing you a speedy recovery, Al. We miss your commentary and want you back in the saddle (though we would like to see you slow down your pace) as soon as you are healthy. Best Wishes Al. GRA

Thank you for all of your comments and your good wishes for Al. He is sick, but he is returning to health quickly.
I have a question concerning units. The comments by ATML was 1 mill units and $100 mill in revenue. My question is what are they talking about as a unit. Are they counting each dvice as a unit or one square foot similar to UNXL? I think their are many ways to look at units and revenues. I am sure that ATML will clarify those statements in the near future.
Chris, All I know about the Hallum ATML call came from a brief conversation with a salesman there. I don't know what they're using as a unit, but based on the math it looks like one square foot.

Not an FDCPA violation
AUTHOR: Tim - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 06, 2009POSTED: Friday, November 06, 2009
You have certainly set forth allegations of some deplorable collections practices. However, they are not in violation of the FDCPA.
The FDCPA applies to third party collectors (collection agencies and attorneys). It does not apply when the creditor conducts their own collections.
A "first party creditor," which is what you are dealing with, has ALOT more leeway, per federal law at least. They can call whoever they want to try to collect from you.
You may be looking at violations of state collection or harrassment laws, but I doubt it. The law generally favors a first party creditor's actions in collecting on debts.
Best regards!

Bringing in his wealth of experience, Leander Paes combined with debutant Purav Raja to keep India afloat by winning the do-or-die doubles rubber against Korea today but it would take a super heroic effort to save the hosts from a defeat in the Davis Cup tie.
Playing for the first time together, Paes and his 97th doubles partner Raja pipped Yong-Kyu Lim and debutant Ji Sung Nam 6-4 7-5 6-2 in a hard-fought contest that went on for two hours and 30 minutes.
The way Koreans played on the first day, the Indians knew it was not going to be an easy task to tame their super-fit rivals. And it was evident from the very first game in which Paes and Purav faced four breakpoints but managed to escape unscathed.
Given his limitations, Purav supported Paes well. More than the quality of his game, it was his gumption that caught everyone's attention as he came across as someone who wanted to contribute to the country's cause.
Paes, who is now nearing 40, is not as sharp as he used to be but his experience of playing 48 ties before bumping into this fit Korean team counted today.
It is for the second time in the six months that Paes has produced good result with a first-time partner. At London Olympics, the 39-year-old Indian star had played extremely well with Vishnu Vardhan.
Now India need V M Ranjeet and Vijayant Malik to pull of the reverse singles tomorrow in order to advance to the second round of the Asia|Oceania Group I tie.
However, it is too much to ask form the inexperienced players as the both Suk-Young Jeong and Min Hyeok Cho are far superior players both in fitness and game than the Indians.
Ranjeet will take on Cho while Malik, who conceded his singles against Jeong after a valiant fight, will clash with Jeong.

Indian Century
|Republic of India
The Indian Century[1][2] (or India's Century[3]) is a term referring to the possibility that the 21st century will be dominated by India, similarly to how the 20th century is often called the American Century,[4] and the 19th century as Pax Britannica (British Peace).[5]
According to the report named "Indian Century: Defining India's Place in a Rapidly Changing Global Economy" by IBM Institute for Business Value, India is predicted to be among the world's highest-growth nations over the coming years.[6][7][8] Economists and Researchers at Harvard University have projected India's 7% projected annual growth rate through 2024 would continue to put it ahead of China, making India the fastest growing economy in the world.[9][10]
According to scholars,[11][12][13] media sources[14][15][16] and economic historian Angus Maddison in his book The World Economy: A Millennial Perspective, the polities of India constituted the largest economy in the world from ca. 1 CE to 1000 CE.[17][18] Also, during the period when China was the dominant economy in the world, India held the second position of the largest economy.[17] India's share of the world income (economic output) went from 27% in 1700 (compared to Europe's share of 23%) to 3% in 1950.[19]
In the 17th century, India and China accounted for 60-70 percent of world GDP.[20][21]
A number of modern economic historians have blamed the colonial rule for the reduced status of India's economy, investment in Indian industries was limited.[22][23]
India has been identified as a potential superpower.[24][25] It is also often referred as South Asia's natural hegemon because of its overwhelming dominance of the region in all aspects – political, economic, military, cultural, and demographic. India contributes 77% of South Asia's population, 75% of its GDP, 77 percent of its territory, 80% of its defence budget, and 82% of its armed forces. One of the key factors includes its populous democracy.[26][27] It has the largest economy in the region, and has impressive GDP growth which sits today at 9.2%[28] According to political analyst C. Raja Mohan: "India's omnidirectional engagement with the great powers has paid off handsomely. Never before has India had such expansive relations with all the major powers at the same time—a result not only of India's increasing weight in the global economy and its growing power potential, but also of New Delhi's savvy and persistent diplomacy." [29]
India is generally considered an emerging power due to its large and stable population, and its rapidly growing economic and military sectors.[30][31] With the largest defence budget in the region, India possesses nuclear weapons, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and operates two aircraft carriers. It has successfully developed a Ballistic Missile Defense system, becoming only the fourth country to do so. In 2007, India became the fourth nation in the world to complete atmospheric reentry for Manned Space Mission, an indication of its recent scientific progress.[32] India has also successfully sent probes to the Moon and to Mars.
Many industries are established in the country due to investments in technology and in the professionalism of manpower, in addition to its tradition of Exact Sciences.[33] However, several problems such as economic, political, and social problems need to be overcome to be considered a superpower.[34]

Herman Melville
Herman Melville: Death
In 1890, a year before Melville's death, a reporter set out to do a quasi-"where-is-he-now?" story about the once-famous writer. "If one choose to walk along East Eighteenth Street, New York City, any morning about 9 o'clock, he would see the famous writer of sea stories—stories which have never been equalled perhaps in their special line," Edward Bok wrote. "Forty-four years ago, when his most famous tale, Typee, appeared, there was not a better known author than he, and he commanded his own prices. Publishers sought him, and editors considered themselves fortunate to secure his name as a literary star. And to-day? Busy New York has no idea he is even alive, and one of the best-informed literary men in this country laughed recently at my statement that Herman Melville was his neighbor by only two city blocks. 'Nonsense,' said he. 'Why, Melville is dead these many years!'"22
Herman Melville died at home in New York City on 28 September 1891 of a heart attack. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. Even though he died virtually forgotten, within a generation or two people began to pick up the seafarer's books with a renewed interest. Billy Budd, Sailor, a novel whose unpublished manuscript was discovered in Melville's desk after his death, was published in 1924. It is now considered one of his greatest works. Moby-Dick is now one of the most famous books in the English language. For all the mockery that he endured during his life, it looks like Herman Melville got the last laugh. He may have seen it coming. For as Ishmael said, there are times "when a man takes his whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own."23

The nonprofit Rocky Mountain Field Institute is hoping to raise money for work needed at the Garden of the Gods.
The group doesn't expect that the city of Colorado Springs will be able to fund the work.
So institute director Mark Hesse has vowed to raise 500-thousand dollars in the next three years for revegetation and stabilization of the most eroded gullies in the 13-hundred-acre park.
It's not uncommon for people to contribute to parks, but Hesse's would be the first effort that involves hiring someone to do the city's job. It also would be one of the largest monetary donations in the Parks and Recreation Department's history.
City officials say the fund-raising is appreciated.

No it unfortunately doesn't, despite Logitech advertising it to be perfect for Skype and such. I think there are various forum boards across the internet where people have complained about false advertising. A friend of mine had one and we both struggled to change the microphone settings through the computer, we realised that it didn't actually have one.

I will strongly advise this scaming company airportparkingreservations.com. We had to spend 100's of dollars extra to park our car due to their negligence. The parking attendant was so rude to us.
When I called airportparkingreservations.com to report this she was also rude. She was not in a mindset to correct this problem. She kept on saying they dont have realtime booking system, and it few days old.
Please go with reputed parking lots near the airport who has physical location rather than this internet companies who does not own parking lots.

EPA tackles Top-Mining
Readers who've been with us for a while know that one of my biggest terrestrial concerns is top-mining, the removal of entire mountain tops to extract ore from inside. This incredibly destructive practice ruins not only the mountain ecosytem, but the valleys where the spoils get dumped, and anything downstream from the processing. So I was very pleased when this report rolled into my Google Reader thuis morning: EPA takes aim at mountaintop mining
In what could be a major shift in federal policy, the Environmental Protection Agency declared today it would be taking a much closer look at the harm done to streams by mountaintop mining for coal.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced that her agency had sent letters voicing "considerable concern" about the environmental impacts of two mining projects in West Virginia and Kentucky. And she declared that EPA would be reviewing other mining permits as well.
"EPA will use the best science and follow the letter of the law in ensuring we are protecting the environment," she said in the press release.
Could the new administration really change our current topmining practices? I hope so.
~Southern Fried Scientist
March 25, 2009 10:34 am
A government agency sent letters expressing concern? Stop the presses!
I guess it's a start, but I'm not holding my breath for this policy to change anytime soon.
Zach permalinkApril 20, 2009 6:06 pm
I really feel like the new administration will give the EPA more freedom as well. Maybe we'll finally start to hear of some kind of benefits for the environment instead of constant bad news.
Jeff permalinkApril 21, 2009 5:08 pm
I think it is great that the EPA is actually looking into this practice. I don't know a lot about it myself, but the idea of taking off whole mountain tops does not seem to be ecologically friendly especially when they dump all of the unwanted materials into the valley's polluting streams and low valley habitats. I dont like the sounds of it. Oh and I'm willing to bet the new administration isn't going to do anything for the EPA.
Les permalinkMay 6, 2009 4:11 pm
A point on terminology: "Top-mining" is easily confused with "top-slicing," an underground mining method that has nothing to do with "mountain-top mining". To keep the discussion clear, we need to resist the urge to shorten terms un-necessarily.

Enstrom's Toffee
It seems like some parts of the country are known for different confections. The South does wonderful things with pecan pralines, San Francisco has a wonderful way with dark chocolate, the Jersey Shore has its salt water taffy. Now I'm noticing that Colorado is attracted to toffee. My neighbor got this as a gift at the office from a co-worker returning from Colorado. It's, apparently, the thing that people bring back from Colorado.
These thick slabs of almond toffee are described thusly on their website:
Instead of pieces of almonds dotting the toffee, this toffee has generous whole almonds. The slabs are extra thick and the chocolate coats both sides with an extra dusting of powdered almonds. The toffee has a crisp bite with a strong buttery taste to it. It cleaves well and melts on the tongue with a good salty bite and caramelized sugar flavor.
I can see why Enstrom's is so highly regarded. This is tasty toffee. The only thing that bugs me about is the whole slab idea. I'd prefer my toffee to be in regular pieces that I can pick up and bite or pop in my mouth whole. But if that's my biggest complaint, well, I don't have much to complain about. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with any of the toffees I've had from Colorado (see Silver Bear).

The Birth of Candy Blog
While working on the Frequently Asked Questions, one subject has come up that I thought might demand its own post. How did I start writing about candy?
That question assumes that there was a time that I didn't write about candy.
To illustrate this, I present a short story I wrote at the age of 10. As embarrassing as it is to reveal my earlier works, it is kinda funny that the only fiction I can find from my grade school days has candy as a main subject.
There's not much text, so I retyped it as the caption for the page images. Click here to see the story.

Cafe Tasse: Orange, Extra Noir & Noir Praline
This version of the Cafe-Tasse bars are long and thick and frankly, I prefer this format to the flat ones. It's more compact and I like a good thick piece of chocolate.
The design on these is quite lovely too. Soft, matte paper with some stylish engraved designs. Easy to read and color coded, too!
Extra Noir this super dark 77% cocoa bar is quite rich. Instead of sacrificing buttery smoothness for high cacao, I think they've lowered the sugar content, which is just fine with me. The bar has a strong smoky flavor with many hints of tobacco and vanilla. It has a rather dry finish that's not exactly astringent, but leaves a rather chalky feeling in the mouth. Still, it has a fantastic melt on the tongue, just slipping around in all it's cocoa-butter goodness. It's not sweet, but at the same time, it's not blisteringly bitter - just dense.
Noir Praline this bar smelled much sweeter than the others, and had a rather fruity aroma as well. The dark chocolate shell looked the same as the other bars, but inside it was as sweet. After having the creamy richness of the Baci bar, this one really can't compare. It's missing that buttery lightness and depth of flavor. I'm not saying it's not tasty, it's just had more sugar and sweetness than hazelnuttiness.
Noir Orange after sampling the super dark bar, this one seemed quite sweet at first. This bar is only 54% cocoa, so there's plenty of room for that cocoa butter base as well as sugar and an ample supply of little candied orange bits. The candied orange peels threw me, they're kind of crystallized, so a bit more sharp and hard than pliable and forgiving. The texture mix aside, the orange infusion is intense and profuse. This is nothing like the Terry's Chocolate Orange. This is a full chocolate experience with a little fruit essence thrown in. After a while I was hoping for the chewy bits of orange peel. This was by far my favorite of the three.
These were a gift but I've seen them for sale at Cost Plus World Market, Economy Candy in NYC and online at Chocosphere (the chocolate covered lemon peel looks divine).

Baci Bar
One of my favorite treats we'd get in our Christmas Stocking were Baci. If you've never had this little Italian chocolate, you're missing something. It's a hazelnut nougatine with chopped nuts topped with a whole hazelnut and covered in a thin shell of rich dark chocolate. They're wrapped in silver foil with blue printing and wrapped around the chocolate is a little piece of glassine with a saying about love or kisses in four languages, after all, baci means kiss in Italian.
Instead of individual morsels, the Baci Bar is a thick semisweet chocolate bar with domed sections filled with a mix of chocolate, hazelnut paste and crushed hazelnuts.
Holy moly, it's good.
Seriously good. The chocolate is rich and buttery with a slight bitter and dry hit to it - which offsets the super-sweet and nutty, thick filling. The little bits of nuts give it a wonderful crispy crunch. There wasn't a bad nut bit in the bunch.
If there's anything at all wrong with it, it's that it's kind of soft. It's getting warm here in Los Angeles, and eating a bar like this mid-day is just plain messy. No matter, I'm having the rest of it for breakfast ... see, I'm flexible! I miss the whole hazelnut you get the with traditional Baci, but the chocolate ratio here is amped up a little, which I like just as well.
Now that I've raved about this bar, I fear I will never have another one. I've looked around on the Perugina/Nestle site and find no reference to this bar. It was generously transported directly from Italy to me by uber-blogger, JozJozJoz. Maybe if you're in a European airport you'll spy one.
Perugina is an Italian company, started in the 20s but was bought out by Nestle in 1985, which explains their wider distribution in the United States late in the last century.

Reese's Bars
I saw these new limited edition Reese's Bars and I grabbed one over the weekend.
The new Reese's Bar seems to answer the call for the Reese's Egg to be made year round. But for some strange reason it's a pale imitation of the Reese's Egg. I can't quite figure out why, it is basically an uncupped peanut butter cup.
The bar is a little messier to eat if you take it out of the package. The oiliness of the peanut butter and the softness of the milk chocolate make it especially soft for handling.
The peanut butter center crumbles and melts nicely in the mouth, but the proportion of the chocolate to the peanut butter just isn't right for me. I think I want a smidge more chocolate or lots more peanut butter.
The other new limited edition addition is this Fudge Reese's Bar. I was thinking, "Hey, I'd like some peanut butter fudge right now!" But that's not what I got. In fact, I was wondering if this was ANY different than the Reese's Bar shown above. The crumbly and cool peanut butter center was just as I remembered eating just a few minutes earlier.
I looked at the labels:
Reese's Bar...............................Fudge Reese's Bar
It continues identically to the very end. The difference appears to be within the ingredients of the Milk Chocolate itself. The coating on the Fudge Reese's Bar is, well, fudgy, instead of chocolatey. The Fudge Bar has more milk in the chocolate enrobing.
While that sounds like it'd be nice, it makes for a mess. It's not that warm here today (in the high seventies) and it's rather hard to keep this thing from losing its bar-shaped coherence.
It doesn't taste as good either, it tastes more like cardboard and less like chocolate.
Whatever the difference, I reject these bars because there's nothing wrong with the plain old Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. These give you 1.3 ounces, the regular cups give you 1.5 ounces. They cost the same price ... and because they're leaving out the little paper cups, I get shafted for .2 ounces? Maybe if you're on a diet and want to trim those extra, um, 31 calories this would be a good deal. I'm not saying these are bad bars. If Reese's Peanut Butter cups had never been invented and this was my first introduction, I'd be all for them. But they're far from an improvement on the existing cups, so they get a poor score and can sink into the dark recesses of Limited Edition history.

Skip to comments.I just Got Back From The Grocery Store($4 For A Gallon of Milk)
Posted on 05/15/2011 5:13:18 PM PDT by Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
The meats were like a bad joke gone bad. $7-10 for a small package of chicken breasts. I got enough food for a week and it was $107. The cashier lady told me some woman (when she noticed) milk at $4 a gallon asked if there was s milk shortage. Are people this stupid?
I am truly afraid for this country in so many ways and as the cashier lady said she told the ditz lady it will get far worse before it gets better. And the cashier was in her 20's and she figured this out- so there is some hope this age group knows to vote out Impeach Obama NOW!
Not to worry. Obama says there's no inflation.
I saw a $15 2lb fryer last week.
People looked at me like I was crazy when I complained.
It is all connected to the high gas prices
Has anyone noticed the price of a candy bar? $1~now that is highway robbery!
Did you happen to notice how much the M&Ms were?
$4-$6 for a pound of Bacon this weekend.
(I HOPE! you don't starve to death before Republicans can CHANGE! the economy back!
That is exactly why Restaurants are suffering...
Food cost is so "out of whack" that they cannot justify thier prices to attract customers....
We have no become a "hamburger helper" society as everyone I talk to is eating just the basics.
I saw the little cooking chickens (the fryers) and they were outrageous. $11-15! I remember when you could get a small chicken fryer (@ Walmart) for $3-4 and this was 3-4 years ago.
Can't say why that should be so, but he's right.
Hey OBAMA -- GET OUT OF SARAH'S HOUSE!
I pay $2.49 a gallon here in California.
I hear you on the chicken and beef thing. I've found those large bags of frozen, skinless chicken breasts are way cheaper than fresh, and just about as good; even for grilling.
I have a mother in law, who votes as her husband says, democrat every time... who complains about gas and grocery prices to me, and has no clue what so ever that her vote for Barry Hussein Obama is the reason we are all suffering high prices and a low dollar. I said to her, things will be bad until we get this communist out of The White House and she didn't want to "get into that".
We can only hope that enough of the electorate at least says "am I better or worse off than I was 4 years ago?" and they go with that.
So much of the country are mouth breathin' idiots. But still, paying so much for electricity, gas, food, they gotta know that it's this administration that's killing us.
I think Imam Obama is a one termer. The Misery Index hasn't been this bad since Carter. I think it's even worse now.
M&M's and all other check out candy were $1.09.The Cokes and Dr Pepper's at the checkout were $1.89 for ONE fricking coke and that was a $ale.
Does not help that the mimimum wage went up 40% just since 2007...
Wait. Where did you find the gas money to drive to the grocery? You rich or something? ;)
Don't you worry about it... it's ok that oil is $25 a *barrel* less and gasoline is still up to over $4 a gallon... all that matter is that Obama says it's all getting better!!!
Sarcasm aside, thank God our 20 somethings are getting, and yet sad that our probably voting 30 somethings are idiots.
We paid $5 bucks for a gallon of milk, and the same for a pound of butter.
Anyone else having trouble finding SALTED peanuts at Walmart? So glad the government is looking out for our health........
Sorry, not buying it. It's nearly $4 a gallon here in Georgia where it's typically a lagging state for inflation. I call BS on your $2.49 in California unless it's a promotion to lure you in to other over priced items.
Got the milk at Food Lion. The cashier said the milk hike in price happened today. If I drove to the Piggly Wiggly or WalMart the money I would save; I would lose in gas. We are still at $3.85 a gallon for gas when other northern states are at $4.19 and climbing.
I'm paying almost that for milk, around $3.75. I get chicken for less, but I get the Really Large Package or hit the "use or freeze today!" sale. I got pork roasts for 75% off last week.
Sticky note campaign!
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were on sale at the grocery this am. I bought 10 lbs, grilled them and they will soon be in the freezer for easy meals over the next few weeks.
Yeah, we're spending approx. $125/week for food at the grocery store when we used to spend about $80-90/wk last year. Not to mention that we are trying to be more cost-conscious now. And let's not forget the doubling of the gasoline price. But there's no inflation, the goobermint told me so!
He's in Alaska? I assume you mean Palin.
Is he in some other Sarah's house?
Why would he be in somebody's house?
Why are you spreading the ultra-right wing hate speech? We all know that the unemployment rate is like 1.2% but some of you with you right-wing hate speech say no it's really 18% and now you are here on this sight spreading this hate speech full of lies, there is no inflation, it's price gouging at the store, yea that's it price gouging.
End sarcasm
No it is the regular price when you buy two gallons, (I freeze one), even Albertsons is about $2.89 if you buy two.
Just think, however, that Harry Reid got reelected with all of these factors in play. The Dems will lie, steal, cheat and do anything to win. Will the GOP?
Now Walmart is carrying the Planters HealthNut packages — at about $6.50 for 7 little packages.
Highway robbery.
California milk prices are controlled by the state. Not a free market then again it is california.
I paid 2.69 at trader joe's
I becha long-haul truckers are pushing $4,000 for fuel in the past month alone. The previous one, I have evidence it was $3,500.
And we're not talking maintenance.
I just paid $2.29 a gallon for 2% milk at Tom Thumb (local Safeway brand in parts of Texas). That's with the affinity card discount.
Alot of restaurants are reducing protions to cut costs.....
No, sadly, they won't get it. They will hear the MSM who tells them that "greedy Republicans" are the reason for all the ills of the world. Sorry your in-laws are idiots.
Oh, and Republicans don't help, so neither party cares, but to think one party or another is the reason is just stupid. Sorry Freepers, I'm a conservative, not a Republican. Seems the McCains and Grahams have proved that.
Be sure and let autumnraine know, she thinks that we are making up how much we pay for milk.
What State are you in?
I saw whole chickens at the grocery store this week for $.69 per lb.
Bought tomatoes for $.99 per lb. Bought cabbage at $1.00 for 5 lbs.
I see some price increases like bacon. But generally it is not that bad here yet. (bought 10 lb. box of "irregular sliced" bacon for $25.00)
Now, we did plant twice as much garden as last year. That seems to be doing well. And I put out 29 new fruit trees, blueberry and blackberry bushes and a bed of strawberries.
ansel12 is right...
I am in NC.
I've noticed in the last couple of weeks, that the hash browns and biscuits I'm getting from McDonalds taste completely BLAH. I looked at the last hash brown I got & there was not salt on it at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
Where I am, a Hershy's bar is $1.25 only when it is on sale. Almost bought one yesterday, but at that price I just said screw it. Don't need it that bad.
Milk is 2 for $5 where I am.
I have noticed that fast food is becoming cheaper all the time. With grocery prices, electricity to cook it, clean up afterwards, and time involved, suddenly a $10 for a pizza or $6 for a double whopper is not as bad a deal as it once was. With prices going as they are, its almost economical to eat out. They can buy it and cook it cheaper than it would cost me to do it. Especially if you use coupons and look for sales. Its a weird economy right now.
The economic trainwreck engineered by soros/obamugabe is based on the same model used in Zimbabwe by Robert Mugabe. People still don't get it. US wealth is being redistributed out of the country.
Hey, but Herman Cain working at the Federal Reserve to devalue your money and purchasing power is totally cool.
Funny how that statistic remains true. When I got out of the navy in 1995 milk and gas were both $0.89 each. It used to cost me around $10 to fill up the car. Now I ride my bicycle as much as possible.
Sorry, I call BS on you.
This ad shows Albertsons as $4.50 a gallon...
The best way of knowing what is going on, is to get 5-10 friends who live in different places around the US, and ask them to, once a week, note the price of several different common things, on an agreed upon list with standard rules. Create a blog for just them and you.
For example, 2% milk, and the lowest price for a gallon the store offers. Also note if there is a sale or special price.
After doing this for a few months, it should be very clear what is happening in the national economy, as far as food is concerned.

I'm using WooCommerce and wish to use variations on the product page of a new site created a few days ago.
I've followed all the directions on the http://docs.woothemes.com/document/product-variations/ webpage.
I just cannot get the variations to save and display. I've tried 'linking all' and adding individual ones - but they don't appear on the products page, or seem to actually 'save' themselves on the product so I can then re-edit them afterwards (as in the prices or even choices for reach variation - are they supposed to? - I guess they are but there's no detailed documentation on this).
I'm guessing this is an error but I have no idea. It could be something I'm doing wrong though again I've followed everything and looked at forums and not seen any other early issues such as this where yuou can't even set them up.
I've checked and double checked. All variations I've added have:
- the price
- suitable choices from pre-written variations (i.e. size, colour)
- the attributes are 'visible' and 'used for variations'
- a default choice has been chosen.
Please help!

As a nonprofit, community-driven free/libre/open-source software project, Sahana's success is dependent on a vibrant community of passionate and enthusiastic people.
