Consumer Sales are Strong but Autos are slowing down
WASHINGTON -- U.S. retail sales up at a rate nearly triple expectations and giving reassurance of economic strength. Retail sales increased by a seasonally adjusted 2.3% after rising a downwardly revised 0.4% in December, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Sales were originally seen 0.7% higher during December.

The broad-based January increase, with sales up in nearly every category, was the biggest since May 2004, when demand also rose 2.3%. The median estimate of 21 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires and CNBC was a 0.8% increase in January retail sales, a closely watched gauge of how people in the U.S. spend money.   Consumer spending is a pivotal part of the equation used to figure out how the economy is faring. Spending makes up about two-thirds of gross-domestic product. Americans curbed their spending in the fourth quarter, leading to a sharp slowdown in overall economic growth amid higher energy prices and mortgage rates and plunging car sales. GDP climbed only 1.1% October through December, after advancing 4.1% in the third quarter. But economists think growth will be stronger in the first quarter.              Retail Sales Continued below

Retail Sales Continued
January auto and parts sales rose by 2.9%, after climbing 1.2% in December. But
demand rose strongly outside autos. Excluding the car sector, all other retail sales increased by 2.2% in January -- the largest climb since a 2.5% gain in that category during December 1999. Economists expected sales outside the car sector to rise just 0.7%. Sales excluding autos rose 0.2% in December.
ales last month rose 1.4% at health and personal care stores; 0.2% at food and beverage stores; 3.2% at restaurants and bars; 1.5% at sporting goods, hobby and book stores; 2.0% at electronics and appliance stores; 2.1% at general merchandise stores; and 3.4% at building material and garden stores.
And the Good News is, Sales rose 4.2% at clothing stores, the biggest advance  since a 5.2% move up in October 2002.

Sounds Erotic, the wildly popular series of erotic stories on CD 
published by Sounds Publishing, Inc. brings to mind the first time
you found your big brother's secret stash of Penthouse letters.
You're not sure what you're getting into, but you know you like it.
It's said that women are turned on more by mental stimulation than visual. 
Men are the more visual of the species. A good, hot story
does wonders for a woman - a hot story with good imagery and a
sensual, seductive voice melts your willpower and makes sensuality 
drip through your speakers. Designed for couples wanting more
increased fantasy, the SoundsErotic CD series - Sugar, Spice, & 
Spank!  - bring erotica to the mainstream. Currently the highest 

quality customer-ranked erotica audio book on Audible.com, 
the stories are meant to tantalize and titillate rather than
"close the deal" for you. The idea is to quickly shift the mood and 
help you et your mind off of your "have-to-do" list and onto your
"really-really-want-to-do" list.
The Sugar series offers romantic, adult situations with less 
explicit language, for those who like the sensuality but prefer 
softer language.  The Spice series continues the romance and
sensuality with adult situations as well as adult language, and the
Spank series is comprised of edgier stories that dip a bit more 
into fantasy.
