I know some people on the west coast that enjoy this brand. We are not able to enjoy it out on the east coast yet. With a bit of a capital infusion from the IPO I […]

Hey I like my corn products so quit raising the prices!
 With this new federal grant a pilot plant will be setup in Oregon. This new plant will try to turn wood waste, wheat straw and corn stalks into ethanol somewhat efficiently. But that is the real trick, they can make ethanol in many places but […]

Yep, one under water cable could cause this. I hope to use this as evidence to convince someone that I am working with on a SAP implementation that running all of the apps from Europe via the Internet is a poor idea.
How do you like that voice over ip phone now! That is the other […]

I recall reading about this on one of my favorite automotive forums. The talk was, which would be the first to exit the American market; Mitsubishi or Isuzu?

This question came in from Steve whom inquired about the exit package for Aylwin Lewis.
I could not find too much digging around in filings but I came across one article that said if he was fired then he could be leaving with up to $22 Million which to be honest is far less then I […]

I was debating with someone about the housing market including the fact that I and others around may enjoy the ease of buying foreclosed homes at a great price.
The sad part to many is those that lost the homes may end up buying them back from us at a higher price. Maybe at this point the rich get richer […]

I came across a couple of schools offering these grad degrees. I am going to call up later and see if anyone can get into the program or if they need to have a reasonable amount of IT security experience before they can sign up.
My guess is, anyone can just about get in. So who […]

Do you remember that movie “Rouge Trader” from 1999 with Ewan McGregor? I love movies like that, you can give me a shot of that or Boiler Room any time you want.
The crazy part is this stuff goes on in real life and here we have the French bank Societe Generale looking at eating up to […]

I have been running MY Yahoo for a long time and I like how the setup is enough to where no one has been able to get me to switch yet. I went through some annoying advertising times with them but I still like my all in one page that keeps me updated perfectly with […]

Lewis is leaving Sears and that spot will be replaced by Exec VP of Supply Chain W. Bruce Johnson.
Looking at my audience I have to ask if you are reading this, how often do you go to Sears and why? I go there for tools and that is about it. In 2007 I bought a couple […]

Angelo Mozilo said today he would not take $37.5 million in light of the issues that Countrywide is facing right now.
I wonder what is making him do this? Call me greedy but if I negotiate X amount of money as an exit package then I expect it. Would you pay that much just to save […]

I get this question often and it came to mind again this morning while I was at the store.
The short answer is yes, they do work. But that depends what kind of business your in and on another side you can use it as an ice breaking tool.
Today for example I was at the market […]

I am still waiting to see more USPS commercials, has everyone forgotten that they ship packages too?
I like the UPS outlet stores, which also sells FedEx services. They may cost a little more but I don’t have to deal with the lines at the USPS which is maybe why they have just given up?
If FedEx […]

As we get closer to this stock (ticker HOG) closing at half of a once high of near $80 it seems this news will prove to us that they are in a downward spiral right now.
Now don’t take that the wrong way. Yes the stock is free falling but the company as a whole is right […]

Vinny takes all the ziti on this one.
And lets discuss something right up front now. The firing was just to easy. Jennie should have not been on the show to begin with. At any given time for nearly any reason you could have fired her in any episode because trump said it best, this isn’t […]

I am taken back a bit by this one.  This is a good number for them to show but I wonder if there was a run at the end of the year to get things bought or maybe things are selling that well?
