Back in late November we recommended getting long STP in a basket of three Tier One Chinese solar players - STP, YGE, TSL. Yesterday, they closed up 83%, 67% and 55% respectively. Time to take some profits. For fuller discussion - http://cleanenergyintel.com/2012/02/solar-taking-some-profits-on-a-blistering-trade/
I prefer putting in a stop.. STP support from Chinese govt provides support... up this big if one got it at much lower...look at long term chart...this thing has more legs...IMO...good luck all...if it hits my stop I make money...if it doesnt I make money...why sell with support in the 4 range...? may bounce off 3.9..range...or lower....but it biggest panel maker out there..my stop sell is 39% below the market ...I ignore and will look at it again in couple years
S&P is 100% above its March 2009 low. Even bac and c are more than 300% above their March09 lows.stp is still 20% below that low. Why is WS advocating taking some profits? What profit?
Inestor101 - please read the article appended - http://cleanenergyintel.com/2012/02/solar-taking-some-profits-on-a-blistering-trade/We recommended getting long STP late last November after solar stocks had been crushed. Since our recommendation STP is now up 83% (at last night's close) Hence our recommendation to take some profits.Good luck.

lovely watch
By Irene
from Mississauga On
Love the watch. The glass on the watch is very different in the way it is cut. Got the black tone. The only problem that I had was I had to get a new battery because the one that was there did not work. I should get the difference that I paid for the battery back. Otherwise it is a good watch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy catholic Church teaches, because in revealing them you can neither deceive nor be deceived.

In the centuries old Catholic tradition, holy cards or prayer cards are small, devotional cards for the use of the faithful. Prayer cards have an endless amount of use and make wonderful gifts and keepsakes.

For the quarter, the company reported net sales of $952 million, a decrease of 12% compared with $1.09 billion in the prior year period. The decline in net sales were primarily driven by the strengthening of the USD against most other currencies, slightly lower volumes in both segments and the pass through of savings from lower priced oil-driven feedstocks.

Income before earnings from unconsolidated entities was $145 million against loss of $8 million a year ago. Net income was $150 million against loss of $2 million a year ago. The company's second quarter 2016 results reflected continued volume growth in the company's specialty epoxy business driven by strong wind energy demand, particularly in Europe and the Asia Pacific region, as well as improved earnings in Versatic™ Acids and Derivatives and North American forest product businesses. For the six months, the company reported net sales of $1,861 million compared with $2,166 million a year ago. Operating income was $235 million against $142 million a year ago.

The Third Reich in Power
I use what I learn to think about revamping both the Expedition and its arts-integrated final product. And now the school year looms so I'm busy churning over changes and refinements
I just finished Richard J. Evans's The Third Reich in Power, and as was the case with its predecessor The Coming of the Third Reich I cannot imagine another more comprehensive and yet engaging history of this place and time period appearing in my lifetime. The level of detail marshalled, the attention to different social strata and regions, the careful coaching of readers through complex contextual matters...it doesn't get better than this. The index alone runs to nearly 150 pages, and is a valuable resource for further teaching materials and research.
In class we'll have to approach Trump's radical faux populism and demagoguery a bit...the kids can decide if he is really a fascist or not.

Earthly Delights
For the 500th anniversary of Bosch's death, the Prado in Spain and the Het Noordbrabants in Belgium are staging major exhibitions of the artist's work, gathered from museums all over the world and from their own collections.
Two of my favorite periodicals have chimed in with thoughtful and illuminating pieces--here's Nat Segnit at Harper's, and Ingrid Rowland over at the New York Review of Books.

I'm trying in my mind to "see" Miriam, but can only summon her outline. Toby is tall and broad, Miriam is tiny beside him. I can see hair but no details. Her face is a blank. She and Toby are at a party--Joan Mellon's penthouse in Philadelphia? It is the early '90s. Toby is my teacher in the Temple University Graduate English Department. He smokes in his non-smoking office, sitting with the window cracked in the bitterest cold.
Toby tries to fill out Miriam's outline in this rich memoir, but she has declined and dissipated and become another woman who is at once still Miriam and at once not her at all.
Three schoolgirls from rural Kansas enter their local National History Day contest with research about a forgotten hero of the Warsaw Ghetto. Their simple play about Irena Sendler--"Life in a Jar"--leads them on an incredible voyage. Makes me want to tackle NHD with my students!
Isha was married to R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, who taught Fulcanelli, among others. He had made a study of the statuary and reliefs on medieval cathedrals, and had learned anew the secret of the blue glass at Chartres. He realized the great Gothic cathedrals encoded an ancient knowledge also visible in the monuments of Egypt. Isha and Schwaller worked for more than a decade at Karnak, attempting to re-construct the ancient ritual practices of Earth's most enduring and successful civilization. Here she uses a novel to demonstrate the initiation of modern men into these ancient mysteries--"when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

In 1919 Sherwood Anderson wrote Winesburg, Ohio, wherein a collection of related short stories painted a portrait of a small town and its inhabitants. The stories on their surface were simple and ranged in tone from mysterious to quaint to alarming. There was a Biblical simplicity and urgency to that book, an interesting psychological depth, and I revisit it every decade or so.
About three-quarters of a century later, Russell Banks did the same for a Vermont trailer park and its denizens. The stories are realistic in style and often devoted to moral lessons around the activities of the people renting these temporary shelters in a beautiful but often brutal landscape.
I bought my copy used at Rhino Books in Nashville. Someone had scrawled on the frontispiece the words "Realist fiction--like Country and Western music, it's all about the TRUTH." Seems appropriate! At any rate, I had a fine talk with the proprietor of Rhino about the state of bookselling in Bmore and about how much I liked his little venture, and about my own experiences during most of a decade in book retail back in my 20s. Russell Banks might have enjoyed our conversation, and it could fit right into a book like Trailerpark.
I've written about Mr. Banks before.

Noam if You Want To
It's deep.
Chomsky, with elegance, marshals his profound knowledge of science, philosophy, and history and distills all of this down to about 120 pages on problems and interesting avenues for exploration in the cognitive sciences. Hold onto your hat because the first chapter with its scientific linguistic jargon might have you squirming!
I have read dozens of works by Chomsky, but with one exception they were all books about politics. Politics only makes a brief appearance here as a slim chapter called "What is the common good?" This was the most accessible chapter, but the most interesting IMO was "The Mysteries of Nature: How Deeply Hidden?" Chomsky spends a lot of time explaining the concept of mysterianism and how some attempts to understand the origins of language and consciousness might indeed be doomed as scientific enterprises, with mere speculative "storytelling" taking the place of actual proof.
So if you are up to finding out what one of history's most interesting and sophisticated minds is thinking about--Noam if you want to!

The Wash, Rinse, and Repeat Cycle of Violence
But in this instance, it is the "war" on crime itself that is most to blame. More than any other nation in the world, we turn to the state-sanctioned compulsion of the criminal justice system to "solve" social problems, including mental illness, drug addiction, poverty, homelessness, and lack of opportunity. Our "first responders" are too often the police, bearing handcuffs and guns rather than public assistance or life support. We arrest and incarcerate our fellow citizens at the highest per capita rate in the world. And those targeted are disproportionately black and Hispanic men living in poverty-stricken inner-city neighborhoods. We can't seem to find the resources to invest in those neighborhoods to support adequate schools, job training programs, after-care for children let out of school before their parents come home, or economic development. But we are more than willing to pay enormous sums for more police to patrol the neighborhoods and prisons to house inmates taken from these communities. Our prisons in turn are ruled by violence and the threat thereof, from both guards and fellow inmates.
Cole goes on to conclude: "As Americans we have been far too complacent in the face of state-sanctioned violence. As long as the guns are pointed at others, we turn our heads and look away. But until we begin to demand alternatives to state violence, the killing will not cease."
It's a point that others have made before. Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine connected the manufacture of nuclear missiles in Columbine and Clinton's bombings of Kosovo and Sudan to the mindset of people who shoot up schools or malls. Noam Chomsky has been saying for years that the best way for the US to end terrorism is to stop participating in it against others.
So read Cole's piece and meditate on it, then go read:
I thought I knew a lot about the history of our drug prohibition. But here are more valuable pieces to the puzzle beyond the Reefer Madness, chemical-company funded and racist Chamber of Commerce shenanigans which resulted in marijuana criminalization in the US. And the book is entertaining as hell on top of being contrarian and smart.

In Joe's mind, Abraham Lincoln should have had a shotgun when Lee Harvey Oswald accosted him on the set of ABC's Good Morning America back in 1865. With the laser pointer, Abe could have hit him with 5-6 rounds as he pumped that Glock double-barreled shotgun.
I was going to say that's wrong. Then I read more and was going to say that's crazy. Then I reread "In Joe's mind" and realized that it would of course be both wrong and crazy. :-)
Joe thinks that if Lincoln had gone on TV like FDR did after the market crash in 1929, Oswald might have not had the chance to shoot him.I would never want to be in the vicinity of Joe Biden handling a shotgun.
Biden would say that's absurd, everybody knows Oswald didn't shoot Lincoln on the set of Good Morning America it was at Gerald Ford's theater of burlesque where Abe was sitting in John Wilk's booth. Oh, and you can't pump a Glock double barreled shotgun, those are lever action.

I purchased a Golden Boy .17 cal. I am pround to show this gun to anyone and tell them its American made. I would also be proud to tell them that there is a gun company in America where a man's word still means something and yours do because you did everything you said you would. I would like also to thank Lori Foote for her help. I have shot this gun many times and it works great. Thanks again.
Hello Henry Arms. I just wanted to shoot you guys an email explaining my situation. I'm in the market for a .22 mag and I was looking at you guys, Marlin, Winchester, and Remington. I went on Remington's web page and I saw that their .22's are made in SERBIA. Also I saw that most of the Winchesters are made in Russia. WHAT THE HECK!!!!! What has happened to our gun industry in the USA? I was so proud to see that you folks are completely committed to USA manufacturing. THANK YOU for this. I am completely devoted to your product now. Keep up the great American work. Oh yea I love your product!!!!
Dear Anthony,
We went to the Russell Sports today and found out that they had new stocks of Henry Rifles.
I immediately go to my wife to ask for a "clearance" to purchase one, and when she saw the rifle, she asked "is this the same brand (H005) you bought for our son?" When I said yes, she readily gave me the go ahead.
There were other brands that I was considering, but I decided to stick with the Henry brand because they're Made in the USA by hardworking American Craftsmen with American components and Henry's customer service is second to none!
Thank you for making such good products and taking care of your customers!
Sincerely yours,
Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed my Henry rifle this year. It's a lot of fun to shoot and I think the value is spectacular: brass receiver, nice bluing, etc. Thanks for making a quality product.
Just wanted to send you a photo of two youngsters from Texas. Their grandfather was Darrell Holt, (now deceased) who was one of the pioneers of Hunter Education in this great state and one of the founders of the original IHEA. We had the privilege of teaching them how to shoot a few weeks ago using the Henry Accubolt. Billy Holt, Darrell?s brother is one of our original instructors and he asked Steve Hall and me to help him with this project. Thanks for all your support for our programs.
Kindest regards,
I commend you , Anthony Imperato, CEO Henryrepeating arms on the help I recieved from you from you replacing the cover plate on my Henry .17 deluxe goldenboy. the damage was my fault, and you replaced the cover free of charge. no argument, a plesant experience leaving me with nothing but good things to say about Henry repeating arms company.
The ceo of any company has never assisted me in any manner before.
The world needs more men like Anthony Imperato in those positions.
Good job sir:
I am the proud owner of a Golden Boy and love it. What a great shooter, it is one of the most accurate, if not the most accurate, of .22's I have ever shot, and every time it take it to the range it always gets compliments from other shooters.
Thanx for a great product and hopefully real soon I'll be able to add a Big Boy to my stable.
I would like to express my gratitude to Henry Repeating Arms, I recently purchased a Mini-bolt in .22lr for my brother for his birthday, I am impressed with the accuracy and quality of this little rifle. Thanks for making such a fine rifle for a child's first gun.
Sir, please add this note to the letters of your many other well satisfied customers. Just bought my first lever action rifle, an H001 .22LR at the age of 54. It is truly a dream come true for me being an old westerner and loving all things western and southern. A real source of pride is the fact that it is 100% American made! Please tell your employees "keep up the GREAT work" producing an affordable and well crafted American legend!
Hello Anthony,
Thank you for your recommendation on the H001T model. I went to a local Cabela's store and looked at both the H0001T and "Golden Boy" models. They are both beautiful rifles but in comparison, I really liked the look of the "Golden Boy" model. Last week I purchased my first Henry firearm, the "Golden Boy" rifle in 22LR. The following day, I went to the range with my son and had a wonderful time. Right out of the box, the rifle required no adjustments to the sights. I have to honestly say I have never felt a lever action so smooth as the "Golden Boy". I have never owned a tube feed rifle and was surprised how easy it is to reload. The craftsmanship on this rifle it outstanding! I can't believe that I can get so much pleasure in rediscovering the art of plinking with my son. Shooting at tin cans, clay pigeons or just old shotgun shells is very enjoyable. I wouldn't be surprised if another Henry rifle finds it way into my collection. Perhaps the 357mag "Big Boy"?
Thank you for manufacturing a fine firearm still in the United States.

Read an Excerpt
Anna Swann had been running late her entire life. And things had only gotten worse since she'd become a mother. Mommy Time, she called it. Mommy Time meant that you automatically had to add an extra twenty minutes just to get out the door, while shoes were located, diapers changed, sippy cups filled.
Anna was now late for her Mothers Coming Together meeting. She weaved in and out of the traffic clogging up U.S. 1, swearing silently at every red light. The monthly get-together was a more organized version of what Anna's mother, Margo, had always called a Girls' Night Out. Thirty or so women would get together at a restaurant, drink wine, eat too much, and spend some precious adults-only time away from the demands of children, husbands, work, and life.
Anna's eyes flicked to the red numbers lit on the dashboard clock. If she got there right this minute, she'd be only five minutes late. Unfortunately, she was still two miles away from the restaurant, and traffic had slowed to a crawl.
Shit, she thought. Mommy Time strikes again.
Her cell phone started to sing—"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen—and Anna fished around in her purse for the tiny silver phone, trying not to drive off the road as she did so. She finally grabbed hold of it, checked the caller ID, and groaned when she saw who it was—her ex-husband, Brad. Which could mean only one thing: bad news.
She clicked the phone on and said, "So where are you this time?"
"What, no hello?" He sounded like he always did—charming, upbeat, good-natured. Mr. Vegas, she used to teasingly call him, because of his effortless Rat Pack charm. He was the sort of guy everyone liked immediately—men, women, children, dogs, even cats.
The bastard.
"Where?" Anna asked again, her voice cold.
There was a pause. "I'm in Tampa."
Tampa. That would make it difficult to kill him. Difficult—but not impossible. Of course, the fact that she'd have to drive over an hour down to the West Palm airport, purchase a plane ticket, and then fly across the state in order to murder him might weaken her temporary-insanity plea.
"My boss sent me out to handle a meeting," Brad continued blithely. He worked in sales for a pharmaceuticals company, and he was, unsurprisingly, quite successful. Brad was a natural salesman, which was another way of saying that he was full of shit. "I thought I told you I might have to cover it."
Ha! Anna thought. He knew damned well he hadn't told her. She considered taking her cell phone and beating it against the car window, hopefully rupturing one of his eardrums in the process, but then a Ford Explorer zipped in front of her, nearly hitting Anna's station wagon as it did so.
"Shit!" Anna said, hitting the brakes. "Asshole!"
"What did you say? You're cutting out. Why don't you call me back later when you get to a land line," Brad suggested.
Typical, Anna thought. He knew she was pissed off, and, just like a turtle, Brad always snapped into his shell at the first sign of trouble. He had a truly remarkable instinct for self-preservation.
"No!" Anna bellowed at her ex-husband. "Do not hang up on me! Brad, you're supposed to watch Charlie tonight. You promised. I already told him you were coming to see him."
Their son, Charlie, was two, and therefore too young to understand that his father was ditching him. Yet again. But how long would that blissful ignorance last? Anna wondered. She had visions of Charlie in his pajamas, the blue ones with the glow-in-the-dark rockets on them, sitting up and waiting for his father to appear. Her heart pinched at the image.
"Yeah, about that. I'm not going to be back in time to take him."
"What a surprise," Anna said. She hated how bitter she sounded, hated that he'd turned her into this, but even more, she hated that Brad was letting Charlie down.
"Anna, don't start. It was a last-minute thing, and I didn't have a choice. Tell the little guy I'll see him this weekend," Brad said.
"Brad! Seriously, you can't do this! I have plans tonight," Anna said, her voice rising.
"Can't your mother watch Charlie?"
"That's not the point. The point is that you said you were going to take Charlie tonight, and you can't just back out of it at the last minute. It's irresponsible, and it's not fair to me or to my mom or to Charlie," Anna said evenly.
There was a weird cellular pause, then Anna thought she heard a female voice speaking in the background, and then there was the unmistakable rustling of a hand being placed over the phone to muffle the sound. Anna rolled her eyes. Obviously, Brad had not gone to Tampa alone.
Anna got pregnant after a condom malfunction when she and Brad had been dating for only six months. They were still in that early golden stage of the relationship, past the awkwardness of the first few dates and yet still oblivious to the other's less forgivable traits. Anna—who was thirty-one at the time and making peace with the likelihood that marriage and babies weren't going to be in her future after all—had been terrified and thrilled when she found herself perched on the toilet seat in her bathroom, staring down at the two blue lines that had appeared on the home pregnancy test.
I'm pregnant! I'm going to be a mother! she had thought, the knowledge cresting inside her, a soaring rainbow of happiness. And then, suddenly, a cold fear washed the rainbow away. Oh, God . . . I'm pregnant. . . . I'm going to be a mother.
She was still vacillating between happy disbelief and terrified disbelief when Brad came over for dinner that night. Her original plan was to tell him over a dinner of pasta carbonara, and she'd even engaged in a brief fantasy of how it would go down: She'd be sitting at the table when she told him. She'd remain calm and serene and poised, Princess Diana posing for the cameras with her chin tucked in, a sly smile playing on her lips. Brad would be gallant and thrilled. Maybe he'd even get a little teary and insist on kissing her stomach, which would be cheesy but sweet. And then they'd agree that although their relationship was still relatively new, maybe this baby was a sign that what they had together was right. That it was Meant to Be.
Instead, Anna panicked and ended up blurting out the news while she was salting a boiling pot of water before adding the pasta.
"I have something to tell you," she'd said. Her back was turned to Brad, who was leaning against the kitchen counter, sipping a glass of chardonnay.
"Let me guess," he'd said. She could hear the smile in his voice as he continued, "Your ultimate sexual fantasy is to have a three way, and you're not sure how I would respond to the idea. Well, have no fear, I'm all for it. Provided, of course, that we're talking two women, and not two men."
It was just the sort of joke Brad would make, with a teasing growl that would normally make Anna laugh. But right now it was all wrong, and Anna didn't laugh.
Instead, she said, "I'm pregnant."
Brad was silent. When Anna finally worked up the nerve to turn around and face him, she saw that he'd responded to the news of their impending parenthood by blanching the greenish-white color of bad yogurt, while his mouth opened and closed soundlessly, making him look like a fish. It was this fishlike expression—combined with her taut nerves—that made Anna laugh. Nervously.
After absorbing the news—Brad actually had to sit down, and she noticed that his hands were trembling—he looked up at her and said, "Are you going to keep it?"
"Yes, I'm going to keep it!" Anna folded her arms over her chest and glared at Brad. He visibly wilted.
"Oh. So . . . what do we do? Should we get married?"
And Anna—who had never been one to fantasize about Vera Wang white silk dresses or headlining the sort of overstylized event profiled in Martha Stewart Weddings—had felt a keen sense of loss.
Still. Even though it wasn't the proposal of her dreams, Anna tried to focus on the positive: She was getting married. They were having a baby. She had her dream job as the food critic at the local newspaper. After ten years of bad dates, selfish boyfriends, and crappy jobs, life was finally falling into place.
Five months later, Anna—enormously pregnant and retaining so much water the only shoes she could wedge her swollen feet into were a pair of Old Navy flip-flops—had stopped by her new husband's office unexpectedly, planning to surprise him with the picnic lunch she'd packed. It had been one of those fabulous late-winter Florida afternoons. The sun was softly filtered through the cottony clouds, a salty breeze rippled up from the intracoastal river, and the idyllic weather seemed to have filled everyone in their small seaside town of Orange Cove with a feeling of communal goodwill. Anna had thought she and Brad could take the deli sandwiches she'd packed over to the beach, something they used to occasionally do while they were dating. To be honest, Anna was trying to recapture some of those stomach-fluttering feelings they'd had back in the beginning, which had been fading away over the months as they adjusted to married life and the prospect of a new baby on the way.
We'll just make it work, Anna thought. You can make anything work, if you put enough effort into it.
But then she walked in on her new husband sticking his tongue down the throat of one of his coworkers.
Debbie. That was her name: Debbie, spelled with an ie. Debbie, with her perky breasts, tiny waist, and freakishly large lips. Debbie, who didn't even have the grace to look embarrassed when caught making out with another woman's husband. Instead, while Anna stood there, mouth gaping open, Debbie raised her chin defiantly and smirked at her.
Anna had stared at the two of them, waiting for the shock and anger to writhe up inside her, waiting to feel the sharp pain when her heart shattered. Instead, there was only an oddly hollowed-out feeling, as though it wasn't really a surprise but something she'd been expecting all along. And then, distantly, a fluttering thud as the baby shifted and turned before settling directly on top of her bladder.
"I have to pee," Anna finally said, and then she turned and left.
She regretted that more than anything, wishing she'd had the poise and quickness of mind to think up a Dorothy Parkeresque quip. I have to pee. It had to be the worst exit line in the history of scorned women.
Afterward, Anna realized she had known, had even had a premonition when her hand curled around the doorknob to Brad's office, that she didn't want to see what was on the other side. There had been signs that later seemed obvious, and in an annoyingly clichéd way at that. Suspicious phone calls. Late nights at work. Odd excuses for where Brad had spent a Saturday afternoon or Wednesday evening. But it wasn't until she'd actually seen the kiss, seen Brad's hand resting on Debbie's perfectly aerobicized bottom, that she'd faced up to the truth: Her husband was a cheating rat-bastard piece of shit. And Anna wasn't about to give him a second chance.
Two hours later Anna had the locks on their modest bungalow changed. By the time Charlie was born, the divorce proceedings were under way. Anna took sole custody of their silver-fawn pug, Potato. Sharing a child had proved to be a little more difficult.
"Brad," Anna now said, struggling to stay calm. It wasn't as though she cared whom he slept with these days, but he was supposed to be coparenting Charlie with her. Ditching their son for work was annoying, but ditching him to jet off to Tampa with his girlfriend was unacceptable.
"Look, I've got to go. I'll call you when I get back in town. Give Charlie a kiss from me," Brad said.
"Brad!" Anna tried again, but he was gone. The words CALL ENDED blinked up at her from her phone.
The traffic came to a sudden stop at yet another red light. Anna slammed on her brakes again, narrowly avoiding plowing into the Explorer, and glanced at the clock to confirm that, yes, she was now very, very late.
"Gah! How is it that I'm always late? How? How?" she said out loud, thumping one hand on the steering wheel.
Most days, Anna didn't mind being a single mother. Sure, it was hard at first, when Charlie was a newborn and totally dependent on her for everything, but Anna had lots of help from her mother, Margo—or Gigi, as Charlie called her. His baby-babble name for her had stuck, despite Margo's attempts to brainwash Charlie into calling her Grandmère. And Anna couldn't get enough of Charlie. After she'd spent nearly twenty hours in labor and one solid hour pushing, Charlie entered the world with a birdlike shriek. The nurse laid him across Anna's chest, and she'd taken one look at her squalling, blood-covered infant and fallen helplessly in love. Now just breathing in the powdery scent of his head or feeling his solid little body relax against her while she read to him brought Anna an indescribable joy.
But then there were days like today, days when Anna felt the full weight of single motherhood, of having to do everything on her own. Her morning had begun when she took Potato out in the pouring rain for her morning tinkle. Potato flatly refused to lay one paw on the wet grass and mulishly resisted all of Anna's attempts to wheedle her into peeing. Anna, soaking wet and insanely late, finally gave up and dragged Potato back inside. Five minutes later, Potato deposited a puddle of urine and one large, stinky turd in the middle of the bathroom floor. Anna cleaned up the mess, took the fastest shower in modern history, and then raced around getting Charlie's breakfast ready. Charlie—who had recently thrown himself into the terrible twos with alarming enthusiasm and was having the mood swings of a premenstrual teenage girl—wept bitterly when Anna presented him with a toasted whole-grain waffle spread liberally with cream cheese.
"Bagel!" he'd cried piteously, pushing the waffle away as though it were poisonous. When Anna—running on only one cup of coffee and thus not awake enough to fight about it—had given up and toasted a cinnamon-raisin bagel for him, Charlie poked at the bagel unenthusiastically, looked up at her, and said in a hopeful voice, "Waffle?"
And then, when Anna dropped Charlie off at his Montessori day care, which he normally loved, Charlie had clung to her like a baby koala.
"Mama has to go to work," Anna said in a singsong voice, as she attempted to detach him from her legs. "But guess what? Gigi is picking you up today!"
"Noooo!" Charlie screamed, reattaching himself to Anna's legs.
In the end, the teacher had to hold back a sobbing Charlie while Anna rushed out the door, feeling like the worst mother in the world.
Now, after a long day at work, Anna was stuck going to the Mothers Coming Together meeting. Not that she didn't normally enjoy the get-togethers; she did. But work had been stressful as she'd rushed to meet a deadline, and she hadn't slept all that well the night before—Charlie had gotten up twice, once with a wet diaper, once wanting a drink. Now she was so tired, it felt like her eyes had been rubbed over with sandpaper. Sharing a grilled-cheese sandwich with Charlie and then curling up for a few rounds of Brown Bear, Brown Bear sounded infinitely more appealing than engaging in the sort of grown-up conversation that took effort. So appealing, she nearly turned her car around.
I promised Grace I'd be there, Anna reminded herself, and, swallowing back a yawn, she dialed her mother's phone number.
"Hello," Margo said brightly when she answered the phone.
"Hi, Mom, it's me," Anna said. "How's Charlie?"
"Hi, honey! Charlie, it's Mama," Margo said. "Do you want to say hello to Mama?"
There was suddenly the sound of heavy, stalker-like breathing on the line.
"Hi, baby," Anna cooed. "Are you having fun with Gigi?"
More heavy breathing. And then a high voice piped, "Mama?"
And just like that, Anna fell in love with her son all over again. It was always this way. One sight of his radiant smile or a whiff of his sweet little-boy aroma, and Anna was overcome with a wave of love and longing.
"Yes, baby, it's Mama! How are you? How's my baby?" Anna continued.
Margo returned to the phone. "You'll never believe what Charlie said to me today. He looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said, 'Gigi beautiful.' Can you believe that?" She giggled breathily. "At least we know he has good taste."
Breathe in, breathe out, Anna reminded herself, as she tried to squelch the irritation that always flamed when her mother went off on one of her narcissistic tangents.
Anna's editor, Teresa Picoult, had always been great about letting Anna work flexible hours, but Anna was still a single parent, and one with a flaky ex-partner at that. So on days like today, when Anna wasn't able to pick Charlie up at day care, she had to rely on her mother to fill in for her. And although Margo was great about it—she and Charlie adored each other—Anna felt guilty every time she had to lean on her mother. It didn't help that Margo could, at times, be the most infuriating woman in the world.
"I thought you had your moms' meeting this evening," Margo continued.
"I do, and I'm already late. You wouldn't believe how bad the traffic is."
"It's all the snowbirds down for the season," Margo said. "What time is Brad picking Charlie up? I thought he'd be here by now."
"That's why I called. Guess what?"
"He's not coming," Margo said.
"He's not coming," Anna confirmed.
"What was his excuse this time?"
"Apparently he went to Tampa and only just now bothered to call and tell me," Anna said.
Margo made a pfft sound. "What a surprise," she said tartly.
Anna knew that the only reason her mother didn't launch into an anti-Brad tirade—A Complete List of Brad Lewis's Faults, Annotated—was that Charlie was close enough to overhear her, and Anna had made her mother promise not to run Brad down in front of Charlie.
Besides, even though Anna shared Margo's low opinion of her ex, she knew from experience that this conversation would quickly turn into the familiar rant of how Margo had known from the first time she met him that Brad was all fizz, no substance, and how you can never trust a man who pushes out his lower jaw when he smiles, but oh, no, Anna wouldn't listen, and then she had to go and marry him, blah blah blah blah blah.
This was all true, but Anna wasn't in the mood for a session of I told you so just at the moment.
"Supposedly it was a last-minute work thing," Anna said.
"I just bet," Margo huffed.
"Mom, I hate to ask, but could you possibly keep Charlie a little later than usual? I promised Grace I'd be there tonight. It's her first meeting as president, and she says she needs the moral support."
"Of course. Don't worry about us at all," Margo said.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it," Anna said, feeling a rush of warmth toward her mother. Two-parts gratitude and one-part guilt for her earlier knee-jerk irritation.
"In fact, why don't you leave Charlie here for the night, and go out and do something fun afterward? Go out to dinner or get a few drinks," Margo urged her.
"No, that's okay. I'll just go to the meeting, and then I'll swing by to pick Charlie up. I don't think I'll be much later than eight or so."
"I mean it," Margo said, warming to the topic. It was one of her favorites. "There must be dozens of nice men who'd like to take you out to dinner. You're still a very attractive girl, Anna. You get that from me. Well. Except for your chin. That's your father's, unfortunately. It should have been my first clue as to what he'd be like. Men with weak chins are always unreliable."
"What's wrong with my chin?" Anna, horrified, peered at her reflection in the rearview mirror. Had she always had an ugly chin and never known it?
"All I'm saying is that if you just took the time to do something with your hair and makeup, you'd have loads of men interested in you."
If she hadn't been driving at the moment, Anna would have banged her head against something hard.
"Believe it or not, I don't know any nice men. And I doubt I'm going to meet one at Mothers Coming Together," Anna said wearily. Her phone beeped out a warning. "Look, Mom, I've got to go. My phone's running out of power. Give Charlie a kiss and a hug from me. Bye."
Anna tossed her cell phone onto the passenger seat. The traffic started to move slowly, reluctantly even. It was as though every driver in front of her dreaded reaching their destination and wanted to draw out the trip as long as possible. The light turned yellow, and although the LeBaron now in front of her could have easily sped up and allowed them both to make the light, it came to an abrupt stop, trapping Anna behind it.
"Oh, come on," Anna groaned.
She could feel her frustration swelling in her chest, pushing up and out until even her fingers were tense. She drew in a deep breath, then another, opening her throat the way the yoga teacher had instructed at the one class Anna had attended. She'd always envisioned herself as a calm, serene yogi, smugly turning down coffee and capable of wrapping her legs behind her neck. Instead, she found the stretching and breathing . . . breathing . . . breathing . . . for ninety straight minutes to be excruciatingly boring. Afterward, when Anna asked if they offered a shorter class—"Like, maybe one for people on a tighter schedule?" she'd said hopefully—the teacher gave her a pitying look.
Now stuck at the light, Anna glanced around. There was a new strip mall to her right, wedged between a discount furniture store and an auto-parts supplier, that seemed to have gone up overnight. The signs lined up over each new store were uniform—cream rectangles with the names set in a black Engravers font.
Purrfect Pet Grooming. Map World.
Jenny Kay Interior Design. Bacchus Fine Wines.
Bacchus. Anna remembered her editor, Teresa, mentioning the store.
"It's amazing," Teresa had enthused. "Very sleek and hip, and they have an incredible wine selection. They're even set up to host wine-tasting parties. Maybe you should do a piece on it."
Anna suddenly felt an irresistible urge to go into the store and check it out for herself. She glanced at her clock; she was still late. So would it really matter if she was a little later than usual?
When Anna stepped into Bacchus, a bell on the door signaled her entrance; the reporter in her began to mentally record the details. The dark-stained wide-plank wooden floors. The white walls lined with minimalist shelving. The Spartan yet artful way each bottle of wine was lined up on the shelf, three deep. The long, distressed trestle table sitting in the middle of the room, also displaying wine. The glass-fronted counter along the back wall that held a selection of cheeses, jars of olives, and loaves of pâté. The store was empty of customers, or employees for that matter.
But then a man stepped through the door behind the counter, presumably from a back office or storage room.
"Hi," he said. "May I help you? Or are you just browsing?"
He was a compact man, neither short nor tall, with an athletic build that ran to thin. His skin was pale, as though he spent most of his time indoors, and his hair was dark and recently cut. His brown eyes were kind behind silver-framed glasses, and his mouth was gentle, which made Anna like him immediately. She'd always thought that the mouth offered the best insight into a man's character. People learned to shutter their eyes but rarely made the same effort with their lips. Tense and pinched up, or twitching nervously, or turned down in permanent displeasure: All of these were bad signs.
"I'm just looking around," Anna said.
"Okay. Let me know if you need anything," he said. He picked up a case of wine and brought it out to the front, where he unloaded it onto the trestle table.
"Thanks," Anna said, smiling briefly at him before turning to examine the bottles on the shelf. It was an interesting selection, not the standard chardonnays and merlots from the same megawineries you could find in every grocery store.
And then a silver label emblazoned with the black silhouette of an owl caught her eye. Was that . . .? Could it possibly be? Anna looked closer. It was! A 2003 Snowy Owl pinot noir!
"You have good taste," the man said, noticing what she was looking at.
"I just read an article about this wine in last month's Wine Spectator," Anna exclaimed. "The reviewer was raving about it. Said it was one of the top wines of the year."
"That's right," he said, looking impressed. "I was lucky to get a case of it. It's been in such high demand since the article came out."
"I'm so glad you opened up. Orange Cove's really needed a store like this," Anna said. "How long have you been open?"
"One month," he said proudly.
Anna had originally estimated that the man was in his forties; now she readjusted it. Between thirty-five and forty, she thought. He was wearing a blue shirt and khaki pants, both crisply pressed, although the shirt was open at the neck and the sleeves were rolled up. He looked like the sort of guy who'd be an architect or lawyer, and she found herself wondering how he'd come to work in a wineshop.
But she'd been watching him too intently for too long, and she suddenly realized he was looking back at her, his expression puzzled.
Oh, no, she thought. He probably thinks I'm coming on to him. Or, worse, that I have some sort of disorder where I stare at people for inappropriate lengths of time. Like Phillip who used to write obits for the paper, and who never seemed to blink when he spoke to you.
Suddenly, with rising panic, she wasn't so sure that a staring disorder would be worse. After all, what was worse than being seen as a desperate, man-crazy, lonely divorcée? That was far more pathetic than having a medical disorder that you couldn't even help.
So Anna did what she always did when she was nervous: She began to interrogate the man. Which, she realized, was probably not the best way to convince him that she wasn't stalking him.
"Is this your store?" she asked, although she was fairly sure she already knew the answer from the proprietary way he was surveying the stock.
"Yes, it is." He smiled again. "I was an investment banker in my previous life."
Aha! I was right, Anna thought. He's the sort of guy who looks naked without a tie on.
"Why did you change careers?"
"Um . . . well, this was always my dream, I guess," he said, with a self-conscious shrug, as though he was embarrassed to be talking about his dreams with a stranger.
"Really? That's interesting. Were you an investment banker here in Orange Cove?" Anna asked.
"No. Palm Beach," he said. His voice was still friendly, but his brow was crinkled quizzically.
Stop interrogating him, Anna told herself firmly.
"Oh," she said. And as she forced herself to squelch her next question—Why did you open your shop here, instead of in Palm Beach?—an awkward silence spun between them. Anna waited a few beats, until she couldn't stand the silence any longer.
"So why'd you open your shop here? Instead of down in Palm Beach, I mean?" she asked. Then quickly she added, "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that. You can just ignore me if you want."
"That's okay," he said, shaking his head. "I don't mind. I opened it up here because I thought there was a market for an upscale wine store in this town, and not a lot of competition, whereas the market in Palm Beach is already pretty tight. Glutted, even. Plus it costs a lot less to open a business up here . . . although that's probably way more detail than you wanted," he finished dryly. "I did warn you that I was in finance before this."
"That's okay. I asked," Anna said.
"Yes, you did. Actually, you ask a lot of questions," he said, and then he grinned at her.
"I'm sorry," Anna said, feeling her cheeks grow hot.
"No, don't apologize. It's just, most of the customers who come in here are more interested in the wine than they are in my business plan," he said.
"You mean all of your customers don't do this?" Anna asked in mock surprise. "And here I thought that was how everyone shopped."
He laughed. "I'm Noah, by the way. Noah Springer."
"I forgot to ask you your name." Anna thumped herself on the forehead. "Clearly I'm losing my touch. I usually start off with names and only then start asking about business plans."
"And what comes after business plans?" Noah asked, still grinning at her.
Wow, that's a great smile, Anna thought. It kept catching her off guard. He'd look like a normal, nice-enough-looking guy, and then he'd smile, and—wow.
"Oh, then I downshift into the really embarrassing and inappropriate personal questions. You know—how much money do you make, how's your love life. Stuff like that," Anna said.
"So basically you'll be channeling my mother," Noah deadpanned, and Anna laughed.
"I come by it honestly," Anna said.
"What? You mean . . . you are my mother?" Noah asked. "Wow, you look amazing for a seventy-year-old. All of those ballroom dance lessons have really paid off."
"I meant I'm a reporter. Or I was a reporter, anyway. Once upon a time," Anna said.
"And now you just go from store to store interrogating strangers?" Noah asked. This time when he smiled at her, she actually felt her stomach do a flip-flop.
It had been a very, very long time since Anna had experienced the flip-flop. Not even Brad had inspired a flip-flop.
"Now I'm a restaurant critic for the local paper. I write a weekly column," Anna corrected him, and she couldn't help feeling pleased at how impressed he looked.
"What's the name of your column?"
" 'Silver Spoons.' I know, Ricky Schroder flashback. But my editor thought it sounded punchy," Anna said.
"No, I think it's excellent. I've always been a Rick Schroder man myself," Noah said, patting himself over the heart. "I loved him in NYPD Blue."
Anna laughed, and reluctantly glanced at her watch. "I better go. I'm late for a meeting."
"Are you off to review a restaurant?"
"No, not tonight. I have a Mothers Coming Together meeting," Anna said.
"Excuse me?"
"That's the name of my group. Mothers Coming Together. I know, it's a stupid name. My best friend, Grace, thinks it sounds like the title of a porn movie," Anna said.
"Then I'd be safe in assuming that it's not porn related?" Noah asked.
"No, not porn related. Just a bunch of moms getting together."
"You have kids, then?"
"Yes. Well, kid. Just one," Anna said. "A little boy."
"So where's he tonight? Home with your husband?" Noah asked.
"Oh, God, no," Anna said, remembering her earlier argument with Brad. "I mean . . . I'm not married. And my mom's watching my son. So . . . anyway. I really should get going."
"Wait . . . before you go . . . you haven't told me your name," Noah said.
"Oh! Sorry. I'm Anna," she said, and held out her hand.
Noah took it in his and shook it solemnly. "It was very nice to meet you, Anna," he said.
It wasn't until after Anna was back in her car, fighting her way up U.S. 1, that it occurred to her that Noah had made a point of asking if she was married. And that realization made the flip-flopping start up all over again.

I thought this book was hard to put down! This author is amazing and I wish she would write more books. You feel like you really know her characters - kind of feels like you're easedropping on close friends. I have read all of her books and this is another A+! Enjoy!!!!
In Orange Cove, Florida, four moms form the Mothers Coming Together group where they can meet to release some frustration amidst peers. Food critic Anna Swann is a divorcee struggling between ¿mommy time¿, Anna time and work time. Grace Weaver has a loving husband and three adorable daughters, but fears being fat hoping at any social encounter someone ¿out-obese¿ her as she still retains the baby weight psychologically as much as physically. Juliet wants to become a full partner at the law firm in spite of having the twins to take time away from work, but has a chance due to her house-husband Patrick even if it means less time with her family. Chloe is the newest mommy, but fears she is losing her spouse James who shows no interest in her or their son. These four females come together to help each other not just cope, but in raising their offspring and much more. --- Rotating perspective between the women, readers, especially moms, will appreciate this amusing salute to motherhood. The four females have distinct personalities and needs, which in turn makes their support group seem real. Well written, this is a warm lighthearted character study that Anna sums up quite nicely with her relativity theory that whatever you do there is not enough ¿mommy time¿ to complete the task properly as inefficiency is a way of life. --- Harriet Klausner
Interesting story of the ups and downs of motherhood, relationships and life. Each character is unique and individual but complement one another quite well. I liked all of them and thought they could easily be women you would want to be friends with. The author does such an excellent job of illuminating their situations, triumphs and challenges that made their personalities come alive and made it easy for me to empathize with each of them. I do have to say that there was a brief moment when I thought I would give up on this book because of the direction Juliet was headed, but her actions ultimately made my earlier doubts about her vanish. The pace of the story was a little slow for me in the beginning, but started to pick up half-way into the story. Though the pace dragged for me some, my interest and curiosity about the characters remained intact. My Final Verdict: Overall, this is a good story that will appeal to fans of the romance and chick-lit genres who enjoy stories that focus on interpersonal relationships, both the good and the bad. Readers who like stories about the challenges of real-life and overcoming adversity will enjoy this story. Raising children is hard work and this story is a reminder how important it is for a mother to have a good support network around her.
Cute story...easy read
I really liked this book it was fun to read
This is the first book I have read by Whitney Gaskell and I want to read more! Love the authors writing style! If your a Mommy it's a must read! I will be recomending it to all my friends who are Mommies too.
I couldn't put this book down! It was like she was writing about myself & my friends (we are all mommies!). I reccommend it to anyone & everyone.
As a new mother I related to this novel very well. Many of the topics discussed in the book are situations I personally experienced or I know someone who may have experienced similiar things. It's a very entertaining light and easy read, which is important when time is limited while caring for little ones. Some of the content is adult in nature and there is some profanity used. If you like books by Jennifer Weiner, then you'll like this one.
Loved this book! All of the characters were so real, yet so funny. Most women can relate to at least one, I was able to see myself in all of the characters! I was so sad to see it end. One of my favorite books ever.

by Doug Kyed, tryptizol NESN
The ball was very much bouncing the right way for the Patriots on Monday night against the Texans. Tryptizol Tom Brady tossed a checkdown to Danny Woodhead early in the fourth quarter, tryptizol and Texans star defensive end J.J. Tryptizol Watt ran 16 yards down the field to punch the ball out of the Patriots' running back's arms from behind. Tryptizol Fortunately for New England, tryptizol the ball bounced 13 yards down the field and into Brandon Lloyd's awaiting arms in the end zone. Tryptizol Woodhead had made a couple of nifty moves and surely wasn't expecting the 295-pound Watt to catch him from behind. Tryptizol The Patriots got the six points on the play, tryptizol but Watt probably deserves the most praise for his effort, tryptizol awareness and playmaking skills. Tryptizol Let's not dismiss Lloyd's awareness either, tryptizol though. Tryptizol Check out the bang-bang play in the GIF below.

This is the guy that every reporter wants to interview because he signed up for Obamacare.
That raised some flags last night. Then, Reason.com added to it.
But in an exclusive phone interview this morning with Reason, Chad father's Bill contradicted virtually every major detail of the story the media can't get enough of. What's more, some of the details that Chad has released are also at odds with published rate schedules and how Obamacare officials say the enrollment system works.
The coverage of Chad Henderson has been massive. He was featured in The Washington Post Thursday as "the Obamacare enrollee that tons of reporters are calling." He was also profiled in The Huffington Post as someone who "beat the glitches to sign up for Obamacare." He was interviewed by Politico, multiple local news organizations, and, according to his Facebook feed, was asked to be part of a conference call hosted by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Well, if the story continues to unravel, maybe Hayden Christensen can play him in the movie.
This is really kinda sad. The administration, the media, everyone who wants this trainwreck to exist forever were putting their hopes on the guy without thinking that the Internet exists, I guess?
UPDATE: Good on Jeffrey Young for posting a corrected story.
Chad Henderson, who told The Huffington Post and numerous other news outlets that he had enrolled in health coverage via the Obamacare health insurance exchanges, recanted his story Friday.
This article replaces an earlier version, published Thursday, which reported incorrectly that Chad Henderson and his father enrolled in Obamacare.
And this is my favorite quote of all time.
"When I said 'enroll,' I guess I got the terminology wrong. I meant that I was able to actually get in and have access to compare the prices," Chad Henderson said. "It would be silly of me to just purchase something without even looking everything over for a few months. I have not, and nor has my dad, purchased anything just yet. We are still comparing everything." Henderson insists he did not lie in his initial accounts -- despite contradicting himself in his interview Friday and his father's statements to Reason.
Emphasis mine. Because that is something EVERYONE SHOULD NOTE.

CBS (Tuesday, Dec. 11, 9 p.m. ET)
Greta (Heat and Dust) Scacchi could not be more beautiful as Marguerite, the poor French girl who becomes Paris' most elegant courtesan, known as Camille. She does her best with a part that is as musty as it is melodramatic. Scacchi comes to Paris so wide-eyed and virginal that she doesn't know what a courtesan is. But she soon becomes one and suddenly, instantly, loses all her innocence. She is supported by the likes of Sir John Gielgud as the Duke de Charles, but falls in love with Colin (Another Country) Firth as Armand Duval. Armand cannot afford her—"Loving me is expensive," she says, "so let's just be friends"—and his father, played by Ben (Gandhi) Kingsley, does not approve. So surprise, surprise, tragedy befalls them. The script is filled with clichés and prose as crimson as whorehouse velvet. Take, for example, this morning-after exchange between Scacchi and Firth. She: "I don't want to love you." He: "But you do. Last night..." She: "Last night meant nothing." He: "It meant everything." Or his line: "I never knew there could be such agony in love." Or hers: "He's the first, the only man I've ever loved. I'd die for him if I had to." The cast couldn't be better and the photography is simply gorgeous, making your TV screen look like a French Impressionist painting. But this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' story comes off with so many sighs that you want to hold your breath in self-defense.

20" iMac C2D (iMac5,1)
Before You Post... | Mactel-Support Team | Intel Mac FAQ
I recently updated from 7.10 to 8.04 on a first generation (I think so) macbook. I have two problems I want to get rid of:
1. My screen doesn't work if I boot into ubuntu the normal way. I just get a black screen (with a bit of flickering) it's like some xconfig is trying but failing to load the xserver. I cannot get to the commandline or do anything else
It is fixed if I boot into recovery mode, try xfix (which doesn't seem to do anything) and then resume boot.
But ubuntu doesn't seem to save the configuration, so next time I boot, I'm having the same problem all over again.
2. Other problem is that I use a second screen, and I don't seem to be able to configure it anymore. Maybe part of the same first problem. I used to do it with xrandr, but the same commands don't seem to have the desired effect
Apart from that, sound using alsa works well. And I haven't experienced any other problems. Now I leave my macbook booted, but once I'm going back on the road with it that's gonna be a problem
anyone any useful input?
I did some further testing, and it to have to do something with ubuntu failing to load the intel driver (which workedd previously in 7.10 and with which I had a decent dual monitor setup with xrandr).
I think it loads the vesa driver, or maybe the 915resolution driver.
How can I make sure which driver is loaded? displayconfig-gtk doesn't seem to give me the right information.
And the xrandr GUI (monitor resolution settings) doesn't work very well...
Then again, people deal with similar annoyances on the Xbox 360 without complaint. Haha.
I think setting fan speed to max will collect more dirt inside my Macbook, I won't do that.
When I boot into recovery mode and just choose resume once asked my xserver boots fine. When I choose the normal boot, I just get a black screen with no options to do.
Booting in recovery without choosing xfix doesn't seem to alter my xconfiguration so I have been able to set it up so that I can use xrandr to get a usable dual screen setup.
What's so different between normal boot and recovery boot that my display driver loads fine in recovery and not when normal booting?
same problem here with ubuntustudio on a macbook revision 1. after upgrade to hardy heron i have troubles with the X server.
when booting normaly:
- X shows up with weird pixels on the screen.
- black again.
- then one more time weird pixels (you can see, that something is going on in the buffer).
- black again.
- i'm not shure, if it tries to start X again. at least the backlight seems to be switched on/off.
- no response anymore.
booting in recovery mode and pressing resume works fine.
the xorg.conf was generated by the xfix entry in the recoverymenu some time ago. i only added some lines to get my graphictablet working.
see the files attached.
uname -a
Linux kami 2.6.24-17-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu May 1 16:23:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
it's really annoying. anyone with good news out there?
i've got it!
to fix it:
search for the line starting withCode:sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and delete the "splash" option.Code:# defoptions=...
save the file and call
that worked for me. no more splash while booting, but at least it's useable again.Code:sudo update-grub
It works!!!
Thanks a lot
Did it have anything to do with the intel graphics card, the macbook or is it a bug in an ubuntu package somewhere?

Door to Door Meat Scam?
Posted in the Rockwall Forum

#111 Nov 30, 2011
My doorbell rang, there he was, country prime foods salesman with two boxes of meat, one chicken one beef. I could have the beef free if I bought the chicken for $318. He showed me all the kryo packs and all looked goof. I bought it and then went to the internet. Not happy with what I read, so I cancelled my check. It's now two weeks and he hasn't come back., I contacted the company and asked that he return, They said they just opened a worksite in Tacoma at University Place and the salesmen buy the meat on consignment. They get to negotiate with you on the price, which is their commission. I asked for him to return, haven't heard anything as yet. We tried one strip steak - very good, one tenderloin - not as good, and one something - not good at all.

I bought meat from the company that comes around in the neighborhood 2 times and it was good.Don't buy meat off the guys that have a household freezer in the back of their truck, like a chest freezer! The guys that have good product are the ones that have a nice meat truck with a custom made freezer in the back.
#114 Jan 2, 2012
I agree with Matt. Here in California their are reputable home delivery meat companies. Just read the side of the box and look for the grade of meat. if you chose to buy, buy from someone who is in a real freezer truck, not a truck with chest freezer in the back. My wife bought at least 3 times and the beef, chicken, and pork were good enough for us to continue our interest.

ive been selling meat for ten years, i read some of the comments here and you have to admit very commical. I will add my opinion; if you are selling any product know this, you cant please everyone all the time but you can please some of the people the majority of the time. when i go out and sale my food in my truck, with my gas, work for ten to twelve hours a day. i know in my soul that i want to put the best food out there to my customers that i can. i eat my own product, my nieghbors eat my product, you will not find any other product in my freezer, plain and simple. i will not sale anything i wouldnt feed my family or myself. icant say that for everyone, but i can say it for myself. along with everything else in life i will get 100% out of my job becouse i guarantee this. I put a 100% into my job. my product is hand selected, cut today, wrapped and packed today, and i recieve it the next day. i can do fresh or frozen. my experience with Ellison, STAMPEDE, Protien solutions, Landmark, A cut above, etc,etc,etc. has all been a waste of time. igot the same results every single time. customer complaint after customer cmplaint. those guys at the big processing plants dont care. I have to live in my nieghborhood, not them. To all the meatmen out there if you wana stay in business for a while bite the bullet, spend a little more on your product from a local processing plant im telling you, you will be pleasently surprised at your customer feedback. thanks for reading.lifes too short.

Hey guys still sellin meat here my customer base is much bigger now I have to say this there is a certain meat pack called.prarie gold meats originally on line for 300 that I sell for less than half price in this day in age its not what u know its who u know if musicians sold there cd what they get them for how could they.make money the average burger cost 10 cents to make and a cup cost 10 cents as well but u pay 5 sometimes 6 and 7 dollars so if u go to a store and buy a inch and a quater cut steak bout 12 or 14 oz would u get that for 2.95 forget how many pounds I have never in my life heard any body get invited for supper and that person would ask how many pounds is this steak on my plate ur giving me if it looks enuff it is enuff guys and people inn the world need to be a lil open minded if it sound fair and looks fair give it a try u only live once and becareful who u buy from check the accredibility thats all and dont believe every thing u see and read check the accredibility thanks and godbless
#121 Feb 10, 2012
praire gold is the same as chefs classic it all comes from ellison meat. one of the worst processing plants out there unless ur customers live in a cave. dont mean to put ur product down, but u are short changing urself becouse you could have better product. u sound like a common sence type of person, ur cusomers will stop buying from u and u will have to start knoking doors again. people dont mind paying a lil more for quality, they do not like to buy steaks expecting it to be as good as you tell them they are and come to find out there not as good, people are tired of being burnt. Look at all the responses, google any six pack companies comments they are all the same trust me dude.your going backwards. my advice to you is try a local butcher have them cut your meat in the portions u want and try it that way, you will have customers for a long time. residual income my friend. right now your on the fast track of burning your area out. they will work with you on your boxes, crovacking etc.etc. if nothing changes nothing changes take it ez
#122 Feb 11, 2012
if it looks like a duck walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, quess what its a duck, if you are one of us that sales beef product, chicken, seafood, pork door 2 door and you really like what you do. all these reviews comments have to effect you, like they do me. if the company you sale for is anything like these people are talking about refer to the duck paragraph above. these companies are killing the industry. you wont be able to make the kinda money you are now, trust me they will fall. they are building there companies on broken foundations. go to a processing plant tell them what you want portion to portion. majority of the time they will be able to accomidate you, if not go to another one. they all make money by selling product , people want at the least select grade. but for alil more you can get choice. ive been doing this for 13 years ive tried alot of the norm processing plants. same outcome every time they suck. stack your cash becouse b4 you know it they will be gone. are pay a lil more and be proud of what you do. (im out)
#123 Feb 11, 2012
by the way the more i read dameatmans response i say hes full of shit, no hard feelings take it how u want to. praire gold is ellison meat company look and see how many recalls they have had. good wholesome meat is out there if you want it.
#124 Feb 16, 2012
Its pretty hard to get scammed on Steak! Take a look at the product. If is some crackhead pulling a grociery bag out of his trunk I dont recomment buying. If its a company with a labeled vehicle and the meat come in nick packaging whats the harm in taking a look. Ive bought many times from people that come around. Most of the time it has been great and a great deal. Read the labels, if it says "USDA Choice," it going to be good meat. PS, everything we buy comes off the back of a truck one way or another!@
#125 Feb 23, 2012
How do you people think your foods get to the grocery store? Whats wrong with cutting out the mark up of a retail market and employees?
There are honest delivery companies out there with quality food. I have a mortgage in a nice neighborhood, great children , cars, and toys. And none of this was gained by "scamming" anyone.

Oh really Julie? You are going to judge an entire industry because of one unproffessional jerk? That sounds a little irrational don't you think? There is good and bad in every business. I got ripped off a couple times from auto repair places, but I didn't stop getting my car worked on. I just went to a more reputable shop.
