NEW YORK CNNMoney com — You gotta eat That could be a big reason why several consumer companies have reported healthy quarterly results this week PepsiCo McDonald s Hershey and sandwich chain Panera Bread all reported better-than-expected profits That could be a sign that despite all the doom and gloom about the economy the consumer is hanging in there Many consumer companies particularly Pepsi PEP Fortune 500 and McDonald s MCD Fortune 500 are also benefiting from the weak dollar and stronger growth overseas But the success of Pepsi and Mickey D s can t be attributed entirely to international customers McDonald s after all was able to eke out a respectable 3 4 gain in U S same-store sales and a 6 gain in operating profit during the quarter Ditto for Pepsi It reported sales growth of 4 5 in North America led by an 8 increase in North American sales at its Frito-Lay snack division And Hershey HSY Fortune 500 generates only about 14 of its revenue outside the United States so its 5 increase in sales had little to do with the weak dollar A company like Panera PNRA is generating all its sales from the United States So its 33 increase in profits and 6 5 increase in company-owned same-store sales is all the more remarkable especially since Panera said it has had to raise prices due to rising wheat costs While it is tempting to declare that the American consumer is finally tapped out it simply doesn t appear to be true Despite plunging consumer confidence people aren t necessarily acting as skittish as they claim to be We will find out next week how the overall economy did in the second quarter when the government releases its first reading on gross domestic product GDP growth Economists are predicting a 1 8 increase in GDP not a decline from a year ago And as was the case in the first quarter economists expect consumer spending to help Of course continued weakness in the housing market and soaring food and gas prices are taking their toll on consumers Rising unemployment isn t helping either I m not trying to suggest that the economy is in good shape But once again all this bad economic news has yet to manifest itself in the form of a sharp pullback in consumer spending To be sure not all consumer companies reported good news today While consumers may still be spending on soda sandwiches candy bars and Big Macs there is evidence that they are growing increasingly wary of buying bigger-ticket items Whirlpool WHR Fortune 500 reported this morning that U S shipments of major appliances items like washers dryers and refrigerators fell 8 in the second quarter And as long as the housing market remains in a funk it s hard to imagine how companies that make or sell pricey home products can thrive In addition wholesale retailer Costco COST Fortune 500 warned that its fiscal fourth-quarter results would be quot well below quot Wall Street s consensus estimate of 1 per share The company blamed inflation particularly rising gas prices for the warning Costco said profits would take a hit because the company is keeping prices low to quot help drive sales and maintain the confidence quot of its customers And that will be a trend worth keeping an eye on over the next few months Costco and other discount retailers have been able to post decent sales growth during the past few months in part due to a focus on cost-conscious consumers as well as a boost from people spending some of their tax rebate checks So Costco may be sacrificing profits for top-line growth which many not win the company fans on Wall Street And if the economy weakens further over the next few months more retailers and consumer product companies may be forced to hold the line on price increases even as commodity costs climb But it s still reassuring to see that the average consumer has yet to go into bunker mentality mode And if oil prices continue to fall over the next few months as they have done over the past few days that could only help the broader economy Issue 1 - America s Money All this week at noon ET CNN explains how the weakening economy affects you Full coverage Have you had to raise cash this year for an unexpected expense We re looking for people who got the cash by doing one of the following Took out a home-equity loan borrowed money from family or friends borrowed against a retirement account such as a 401 k sold a life-insurance policy Is that you Drop us a line at realpeople moneymail com and you may be spotlighted in Money magazine and on CNNMoney com Please tell us why you needed the cash how much cash you raised by doing it when you did it and if you were happy with your decision Also please include your name age city contact information and a recent family photo nbsp First Published July 23 2008 10 27 AM EDT

The Bottom LineComplex and epic post-metal with a unique concept Cult Of Luna s latest takes the listener on a strange and satisfying journey ProsEpic and atmospheric songs Elaborate and interesting concept ConsCan be repetitive DescriptionReleased in North America July 8 2008 on Earache Records The album was recorded at Tonteknik Studios in Ume 229 Sweden This is Cult Of Luna s fifth full-length studio CD Guide Review - Cult Of Luna - Eternal KingdomThe latest CD from Sweden s Cult Of Luna has an interesting concept The band rehearses in an old mental institution and while cleaning their rehearsal room claim to have found boxes of old material from the institution One of those items was supposedly a diary of a patient named Holger Nilsson who murdered his wife The strange and bizarre diary of that mental patient is what the concept and lyrics of the album are based It s a great story and idea for an album I m a bit skeptical if there is an actual diary or if the whole thing was concocted by the band but either way it s a brilliant attention grabber for the album is heavier and darker than Cult Of Luna s past few releases Having 8 members probably makes for a crowded tour van but it also helps create a wall of sound Their post-metal style has thick down tuned guitars along with keyboards and samples that create different atmospheres The songs are periodically broken up by instrumental interludes that act as a reprieve from the intensity The vocals on the album are harsh yells but there are some subtleties Drawing on the lyrics from the diary the delivery is sometimes angry other times frantic and nearly out of control It fits in well with the subject matter One of the highlights of the CD is quot Ghost Trail quot a 12 minute tour de force that showcases all of Cult Of Luna s best attributes epic arrangements compelling songwriting and excellent musicianship Some of the other songs have a tendency to be repetitive but most of the time the riffs are worth repeating More dynamics which they ve done well on past albums would also help has its flaws but it is still a very compelling and well constructed CD
