• Train Travel: This is a convenient, time-cutting and comfortable way to travel on long distances where the roads are more difficult to navigate.
• Living it Local: Like accommodation India also covers the full spectrum when it comes to travelling around. Aside of the trains, planes and automobiles we offer some of our excursions in true authentic Indian style such as rickshaws, horse and carts, camel safaris, small motorised boats and even rides on elephant back. 4x4 jeeps will be used in the National Parks when going in search of the elusive tiger.

Prices also vary dependent upon the number of people in your travelling party, as fixed costs like transportation and guiding are shared across each group.
For an indication of the sorts of prices to expect for a private holiday in India please have a look at some of the Private Journeys featured on our website. These are based on two people travelling, sharing a twin/double room.
Our group tours can be done on a private basis too, and this option will typically be less expensive than a 100% tailor-made holiday. So depending on your budget, a private group tour or one of our featured private itineraries might be worth consideration.

Zimmerman Defense Highlights Inconsistencies in Testimony of Key State Witness
June 27th, 2013 | WMFE - George Zimmerman's defense attorneys pointed to several inconsistencies Thursday in the story of a friend who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin at the time of his shooting. Among the inconsistencies was the woman's name.
[George Zimmerman - photo by Joe Burbank, Orlando Sentinel]
Rachel Jeantel, 19, told the court she signed her name as Diamond Eugene in a letter to Martin's mother about the shooting . She told a reporter her name was Didi.
Zimmerman defense attorney Don West also asked Jeantel about inconsistencies in the stories she told investigators and attorneys and her testimony in court about the scuffle between Martin and Zimmerman.
"You don't know that do you?
"No sir.
"You don't know that Trayvon got hit?
"He couldn't...
"You don't know that Trayvon didn't at that moment take his fist and drive it into George Zimmerman's face.
"Please lower your voice.
"Do you?
"No sir.
Jeantel explained some of her inconsistencies. For instance she said she had lied about her age because she wanted to preserve her anonymity.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He says he fired in self-defense.

Kansas Jayhawks Basketball 2014-2015 News and Updates
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – Before losing to No.25 Texas Saturday, the Jayhawks had penned seven straight wins, five of which were against Top 25 teams - No.25 Kansas State, No.8 Iowa State (twice), No.9 Oklahoma State, No. 24 Baylor. Currently leading the Big 12 standings, the 17-5 Kansas Jayhawks have their sights set on their tenth straight Conference title! The Jayhawks tough schedule should prove beneficial come March; their experience under pressure and against elite programs will give them an advantage over teams who played an easy-breezy non-conference schedule and compete in a mid-major. 7-foot Center Joel Embiid has emerged as a potential No.1 draft pick; but the 19-year old from Cameroon has expressed interest in staying in Lawrence. Will the final five games of the 2014 season be Jayhawks fans last chance to see Embiid and Parker at Allen Field House? Let's hope not, but why miss it?! Kansas Jayhawks tickets (5 games) are averaging $206 to close the regular season.
1/3/14 - The Kansas Jayhawks are known as one of the most skilled teams in the nation, but the team took off to a slow start against a punishing nonconference schedule that left them with a 9-3 record. The Jayhawks have grounded their footing and began to turn their season around by crushing Toledo's 7 game win streak last Monday, ending 2013 on a high note, with a convincing 93-83 victory at Allen Fieldhouse. KU handed the Rockets their first loss of the season, on the backs of three 20-point scorers: Tharpe, Ellis, and freshman prodigy Andrew Wiggins (his 11th 20-plus game of the year). Kansas will finish off non-conference play when they host San Diego State on January 5 for $118 to start, compared to much cheaper tickets when they commence Big 12 Conference play Jan 8 at Oklahoma for a meager $8. Kansas vs. Kansas State
rivalry tickets
in Lawrence start at a massive $185, the most expensive get-in of the year. KU is still the team to beat this year, gunning for their 10th Big 12 title, and possibly the national championship, as the amount of youthful talent on their team is primed to explode in 2014, so lock-in your Kansas Jayhawks tickets now!
… more
10/28/13 - Bill Self and the monarchs of the Big 12 have earned nine consecutive conference titles, two
Final 4s
, and a NCAA national title in his last 11 years as coach. Last year, KU was eliminated in the Sweet 16 by
Michigan State
, but Self will look for their 10th straight Big 12 title to continue the longest current streak of winning seasons in the league and complement one of the oldest and most renowned programs in college basketball. After all, KU's first coach was the legendary James Naismith, inventor of basketball.
Kansas Jayhawks Basketball 2014-2015 Season
2013-2014 Season
Bill Self admitted that KU will face the most daunting schedule they've ever played: with the likes of
New Mexico
San Diego State
, the Jayhawks have a tough road to the
NCAA Tournament
. KU will open their most-hyped season yet at home against
(Nov 8) and next face
(Nov 12) for the 3rd annual
Champions Classic
. They are also participating in the Battle 4 Atlantis (with
Wake Forest
and more) at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Three of the Jayhawks games made our list of
top non-conference matchups
this season.
… more
Self is known as one of the best recruiters in basketball, and has brought a number of gems back to
Allen Field House
to replace a whopping five starters from last year's squad, but none so awaited with frenzied anticipated as
Andrew Wiggins
. Distinguished as the most prized and heavily-touted incoming freshman, the unanimous #1 2013 recruit has already been dubbed the best player in college basketball, and is the first freshman to ever be selected into the Preseason All-Big 12 Team. With all of his media hype surfacing prior to any regular season play, there is some contention from around the nation, including rivals
Oklahoma State's
Marcus Smart. Along for the wild ride this season is returning sophomore power forward Perry Ellis and notable newcomers Wayne Selden and 7-footer Joel Embiid.

A mortgage that is backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Along with VA loans, an FHA loan will often be referred to as a government loan.
Interest Rate
The percentage of an amount of money which is paid for its use for a specified time.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
The cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate. The APR includes the prepaid interest rate, points, fees, and other credit charges that the borrower is required to pay, and is therefore a more complete measure of a loan's cost than the interest rate alone. The loan's interest rate, not its APR, is used to calculate the monthly principal and interest payment.
Larger Loan Amounts in Eligible Areas
In federally designated metropolitan areas, conventional and FHA loan limits have been increased to assist homebuyers. These loan amounts are higher than the typical conforming limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because the amount financed is not as high as a jumbo loan, they typically offer lower interest rates than traditional jumbo loans.
A loan that exceeds Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's loan limits. Also called a non-conforming loan. Jumbo loans typically have higher interest rates.

The new estimated monthly payment due when the interest rate on adjustable-rate mortgage is reset. After the initial fixed-rate period, your interest rate can increase or decrease annually according to the market index. Any change may significantly impact your monthly payment.
Loan to Value (LTV)
The ratio of the amount of a potential mortgage to the value of the property it is intended to finance, expressed as a percentage.
First Adjusted Interest Rate
The first adjusted interest rate is an estimate of the interest rate that may be charged on the loan when it first adjusts at the end of the fixed-rate period. Since future rates cannot be predicted, it is calculated by adding the current index rate to the margin (subject to the first adjustment cap) and is rounded to the nearest 1/8th of a percent.
Fully Indexed Interest Rate
The fully indexed rate is equal to the margin plus the index (an economic indicator used to determine changes in the interest rate) rounded to the nearest 1/8th of a percent.
Fully Indexed Payment
The amount of the principal and interest payment calculated when using the fully indexed rate.

Food & Entertaining
fresh veggies on a salad bar
Are any of your suspicious about how clean such food is? Sometimes I like to get some cauliflower or such that would take me a while to eat a whole head, but I wonder if this food is as clean as the other (a/c it is handled more)
Same with bagged salads and food at the deli counter. I like a broccoli slaw that is sold (4.99 a lb) and sometimes but rarely macaroni or potato salad. These are so easy to make and mine are usually very good.
On the thread about weight loss, that is one part of the discussion we did not have. That is the cost of fresh veggies/fruits. I rarely buy any berries a/c cost. . . blueberries though are grown in Maine and freeze beautifully. Also avocados are at least 1.29 a piece. (sometimes on sale for .99) Watermelon I can sometimes get at my discount store whole for 2.99.
I think the reason so many poor people are overweight is not ignorance but the cost of fresh food. different 2 or 3 generations ago when everyone had gardens and did canning.
We watched the Lewis and Clark presentation on PBS last night. We have listened to the diaries on tape and read the journals also, but were reminded again of their diet. When available 9 lbs of meat each per day! Of course when they were starving they ate dog and horse. No fresh veggies on the journey nor of course did any of the Indians they encountered eat any.
One interesting comment was about the readily available salmon at one point and the men would scorn that and eat dogs or horsemeat!
I doubt I would hve lived to the age I am if I worried about the things most folks do about food handling, germs, bacteria, etc.
A good friend of mine who is also in the medical profession and I agree - in order to be and stay healthy you need to have built us some immunity by exposing your body to such stuff to begin with.
A dear couple from church are watching their professionally educated daughter (about 35 years old) struggle with terminal Lyme's disease.
I wonder if her chances to beat this are diminished because her immune system was already so compromised from being raised in the "germ bubble" that she was by her mother. For over three years or more now, she is hospitalized almost every couple of months for intravenous antibiotic therapy because of an infection. The other days she resides in a nursing home because she can't sit up without passing out or having seizures. Her little boy lives with his Dad. Heartbreaking.
And yes, studies have shown that the obesity our population faces is due directly to poverty and food prices as one of the major factors.
Well this is something I am ignorant of. I did not know Lyme's disease could be fatal!
That poor dear woman, although it would seem difficult to raise someone (I would think) in a germ bubble. But I do have an auto immune disease (or have had. . . psorosis)
This is a very sad story for all of that family!
I had a friend years ago...educator of nursing in a private Christian school...who became allergic to everything but 4 food items. She sent me a list and I couldn't imagine how she could survive on that. Her brother's church built her a mobile home that did not have any wood items (yep, allergic to this, too.) She went on national television to show people what could happen if they had an allergy by eating only a tablespoon. I miss my friend and know that her Home now is a better one. It's just the memories her family and friends have of her struggles. When I'm told someone has an allergy, I don't take it lightly.
Lurah, my thoughts and prayers for the young woman with Lyme's disease. I thought Lymes disease came from a Tick bite? Guess I need to research it a little more.
My sister discourages our mother from eating out. We prefer she doesn't go to salad bars. It's best if she eats at home and knows how the produce has been cleaned and prepared.
I've always felt that it was cheaper to buy "from scratch" than the processed foods. And I feel it is either ignorance, continuing to eat what you grew up with, or laziness that cause the lower income people to be overweight.
How much is a bag of potato chips? How much is a 5# bag of potatoes -- the 5# is way less than the chips and will feed you far longer as well.
A box of hamburger helper is how much and you still have to buy a pound of hamburger to make it -- buy the same hamburger, some fresh onions, some pasta, and ingredients to make tomato sauce and you've spent far less money but have far more food.
Sure there are "gourmet" fresh foods (and I'm including things like blueberries, raspberries, leeks and fennel) that are terribly expensive but GOOD, PLAIN fresh food is really economical IMO.
I spend far less at the supermarket in a week than friends of mine who prefer the more processed foods and I really thing I eat better!
Whenever I think something fresh is "too expensive" I think of that bag of potato chips and how much per pound I would be paying for those potatoes -- suddenly, a pound of cherries at $4 isn't all that bad although I do consider it a splurge! But there only in the market for a short time so it's a once a year splurge!

Rant time!
Many of you probably never heard the term - "Food Desert". That is where many of our poor live. Yep, a 5 lb bag of potatoes is cheaper in some places than a store brand bag of chips. But try walking home with that bag of potatoes. Look how much loose potatoes cost. Those of you who no longer work outside the home, or have full kitchens and work a 9 - 5 job with a spouse to help with the child care. Try that if you are work 2 or 3 part time jobs on your feet making minimum wage (let's not forget more and more of our working poor are now being asked to take check cards with fees in payment for their work!)
I am so freaking furious now that our friends on the boards have shown their total ignorance and absolute lack of empathy for our working poor that I can't even finish this.
Yep - tell the over weight cashier at McD's that she could be buying fresh blueberries for next winter at her local farmer's market and put it away in the deep freeze. Take a photo of the look you get back.

Charming, good for you. At the risk of causing a furor, I have to say this: I spent my whole working life in the F ood S tamp P rogram from a lowly eligibilitly worker to the Assistant Director statewide, and I can tell you that the ig norance of the general public when it comes to the barriers that the poor/working poor face is heartbreaking. They are criticized if seen with a full grocery cart with no one even considering that they have to make their way W al M art as best they can. Even if they have a car, gas is expensive so is it surprising that they purchase their month's worth of groceries when the allotment is first posted on FS accounts. And if transportation is expensive, so is fresh, nutritious food!!!!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: sms29s66,
Bravo, Charming and Sms, for setting the record straight.
Last year, celebrity restauranteur and chef Mario Batali and his family took the Food Stamp challenge for one week. Now, here's a guy who knows his way around food shopping, nutrition and meal planning. Read how they fared: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/li...ood-stamp-challenge/This message has been edited.

This is pretty harsh Martha.
Many years ago I did not have a car (or even know how to drive a/c of previously living in NYC so long) I remember walking home from the grocery store to my third floor walk up apt and having to set the bags down periodically to rest.
I struggled very much and I did know how to eat and wasn't overweight. Oh and at this time I worked full time for a travel agent and at night for an airline!
I kept a weekly record of every expenditure I made and had it projected too. I used to be furious when my boss (the owner of the travel agency) told people that my 72.72 weekly salary was more than he took out of the business.
Which even that was a lie as he took $75 for spending money. His bills came to work with him and were paid by the business, I was very tempted to ask him if I could do the same thing.
His was the attitude that you are now displaying. I'm surprised and disappointed.
You evidently have never had the misfortune to suffer economically. Maybe you never lived on your own, let alone had children to raise by yourself. I remember one woman I worked with (this in the wearing stockings days) and she could not afford stockings to wear to a job interview.
Another thing Martha is that food is your interest. If I'm not mistaken it is how you earn the money you do earn. Of course you would know food preparation.
In fact I often think that the person most equipped to suffer from poverty is the person that has had a privileged upbringing who has had the life experiences. . . going to camp, special sports and classes etc that teach them many survival skills. How much of that do you think poor people get?
My the way I was not talking about salad bars in restaurants (which I never use) but salad bars in supermarkets. Buying a few clumps of broccoli or cauliflower is cheaper than buying a whole head.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lady of shallot,
LOS - To answer your original question - in many states grocery stores are covered by the same inspection process as restaurants. Part of food prep in restaurants is to follow certain procedures to rinse vegetables I think running water was a requirement back in the day.
Fun and Info
I'm sorry I thought you were referring to cleanliness of a true dining room salad bar. I do not buy precut prepackaged foods from the produce section unless it is used on vacation, taking on the run because I won't be home, or just to have a small quantity I need so I don't throw it out when it's spoiled, etc. My DH has a kniption if food spoils in our house!
But you are correct it is much cheaper, healthier and wiser to purchase the raw product. However, as our dept was advised when getting an adopted family to share with at the holiday, "remember that you can give them a large ham or turkey, but the family situation may be such that they don't have refrigeration, freezer or even a tradional range to cook with."
I recently watched a PBS show about the food desert - it is also alot of passed down family traditions with the foods we choose to eat as well that contribute to the health and nutrition problems.
Speaking of my own self - unhealthy eating isn't because I grew up poor. I grew up in what my DH points out was "a very wealthy family" on a farm with fantastic fresh red meat meals 3 times a day! Our children have contributed much to opening my eyes that I can make more wise food choices! Gosh, at the time my father always owed the bank big time, I never thought we were wealthy at all.
Yes, Lyme's disease can be fatal if not diagnosed early. In her case, Drs. in the Midwest took 10 years to diagnose this girl, by then the disease had attacked her heart. Most of the specialists for this disease are found on the East & West coasts where deer tick Lyme disease is rampant. Count this THERE ARE ZERO, NONE, NOT A ONE ANYWHERE out here in the region who are properly accredited to work with these patients specifically.
Yes, but I look at the whole offering of the bar.
Here, there is a grocery store that has an excellent (clean-looking) salad bar and the food looks very fresh.
But, there are other grocery store salad bars where the food shield is less than squeeky clean and the food itself looks a couple of days old. I skip those grocery salad bars.
LoS, I do the same thing--especially because The Husband doesn't really care for salads since they take too long to eat. I buy a few things, and add to it from the grocery store salad bars.
Around here, they are subject to inspection, but there's a limit to how far that goes.
So, I'm just careful where I purchase.
I don't wish to comment on the other subjects brought up. Just on the original post.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Indexlady,
I never purchase any salad bar items since I saw other customers pick out items with their fingers, ugh! The store may try to keep everything fresh and clean but that's only half of the story.
The lack of grocery stores with fresh vegetables in lower income areas also contributes to the problem. In my metropolitan area the stores in these areas carry fewer fresh items and often what they do carry is not as fresh as it is in the suburban stores. Schools are so intent on testing in my state that they do not offer many home ec type courses. Often people need to know how to prepare food, not everyone grows up in a household that makes food from scratch or even knows how to use fresh vegetables, etc. I read an article a couple of years ago about people who have never made mashed potatoes from scratch, they only knew about buying the stuff in supermarkets.
The recent discussions about the farm bill highlight the issues with the food stamp program. I don't think that the food budget that the current program envisions is sufficient for those who need help. I know that I would find it hard to survive on such a budget and I know how to cook from scratch.
I always buy fresh or frozen veggies depending on seasonal peaks and pricing. I never buy off a salad bar and shun any mayo laden salad I did not personally make where I reduce the mayo and exercise healthy prep and storage. I always wash my fruits and veggies due to handling, waxy coatings and especially pesticides. Those on tight budgets have additional options such as home growing and canning, local farmers markets and even discounted produce in grocery stores which often are still blemish free, crisp, juicy and flavorful. Frozen veggies sans sauces, additives or butter are good alternatives. Avoiding processed foods with preservatives, dyes, high sodium or sugars is always wise. BTW, one has to wonder how safe veggies offered in restaurants are too. I have witnessed sub shops and delis where the clerk handles food sans washing or gloves and in some cases, money as well. I avoid establishments in clear violation of health laws.
16paws, the news coverage on food stamps would lead you to believe that each household receives the maximum allotment for their size. That is not true. The only ones who receive the maximum are those with zero income or zero income after allowable deductions. In fact, at the time of my retirement, most single, elderly clients received $12.00 monthly.
Froo, those on tight budgets are not likely to have access to the resources necessary for home growing and therefore canning. And, of course, access to farmers markets and discounted produce is dependent on transportation which is a big barrier to the poor.
I know that each state has different programs for food stamps, etc. I don't think that it would be easy to live on such a small amount. I don't see how anyone could live on $12 a week let alone a month! I see that you live in Louisiana which has been on the news regarding the number of people who live below the poverty line and food stamps. Ohio also has many state legislators who receive lots of government help for their own farms but vote against aid to those who live in poverty.
Actually, the FS program is more "national" than any other social program. There are a few variations among the states and recipients in a couple of states or territories get more than the rest, but by and large old folks get $12.00 or not much more. The states have NOTHING to do with the FS program regulations. This is strictly a federal program, so don't blame your state legislators for the farm bill!!! But, if it goes to block grants, then the states WILL have power, and I say Katy bar the door because they will destroy what is basicly a good program. I can only hope that the REAL beneficiaries of the program (the grocers) will lobby c ongress successfully to prevent it.
sms, I didn't read thru the entirety of responses. I was speaking of those who could afford those options I posed. There are of course food banks for those in need. Some cities grow victory type gardens or roof top gardens to help with this group also. The discount produce carts at grocery chains should not be ignored either. Also, there may be a chain such as Aldies(sp?) that offers off brands and reasonable fresh produce too if they have access to those.
Froo, whenever anyone mentions the FS program, I get on my soapbox! While I was still working I wondered out loud to a colleague whether we would ever be able to put the plight of the poor out of our minds and just go with the middle class flow that everyone else seems to. She assured me that we would not--we would always see everything through the eyes of the poor. I don't know whether that is good or a curse...
sms - Bless you for seeing through the eyes of the poor. I wish more of our family, friends, television talking heads and legislators would do the same.
The problem is with the FED Farm Bill - the House is doing everything they can to reduce the FS allocation and give more to the farmers. Of which many of the ones receiving the Gov't handouts are our legislators.
Shame, so many states want to criminalize the poor and make the into beggars for anything they get from our tax dollar when the fat cats keep getting more and more and never have to beg. In fact, they have the media so in their pockets they broadcast that it is our national duty to give more handouts to those who are not in need. One legislator from TN turned my stomach recently talking about how the poor need to get jobs and quit living on the dole while he has his hand out for many thousands of dollars of farm aid.
Fun and Info
Charming, I am holding out hope that the REAL beneficiaries of the FS program (W al M art and the other big grocers) will flex their muscles and quash the House efforts to starve the poor. Think about it...who profits most with poverty programs? The poor family who gets a Section 8 voucher to live in a substandard house, or the s lumlord being paid top dollar rent by the feds? Same for the FS recipients who don't actually get enough to feed themselves, but every dollar they DO get goes to the grocers!!!!!
I hope so, but agri business has an awfully big lobby in DC.
What is interesting in LOS topic that has been completely coopted by this discussion is the very real fact that obesity is not just a problem with the poor. Has anyone looked around at the kids you see in the malls lately? They seem to either be little toothpicks planning to be the next Twiggy (we'll explain for those on here under 50) or they are little tubs. I noticed our better department stores now has a line of Jr clothes for our "heavier" young teens. Because, hey, every little fat girl wants to wear the latest midriff baring top and low slung jeans. (I can say little fat girl, because I was one!) I suppose times have changed because the last thing I wanted was to wear anything that emphasized my size.
Fun and Info
I am amazed to see in decorating magazines where they have pics of editors and other upper echelon people who in some way are connected with the magazine, the many instances of obesity. And what about Paula Deen and Ina Garten. They sure know about food. I think it is sad that many people are finding it acceptable (not that I can throw stones here) to be overweight.
BTW Froo, "my" supermarket has once again been sold. I noticed that the "seconds" cart for fruits and veggies is no longer there. I too always wash my fruits/veggies including banana skins and watermelon, cantaloupe etc. Mostly though I wash my HANDS before doing anything with food. I can't believe people who let their kids sit down to dinner without first washing their hands!
I agree obesity is commonplace now. Growing up I rarely saw overweight children, now it is commonplace.
I'm concerned about the health of children, of course it is unhealthy for adults, but in some families it is just accepted to be overweight.
My heart breaks for the children who need better choices of less food and more exercise.
Yes, some poor people have little choices, but many people at every income level do have choices but make bad ones that affect many other people.
I've heard people ranting about rail thin celebrities who set bad examples, but then compliment obese celebrities for being real, isn't that an equally bad example?
BTW, does anyone watch Hallmark movies, ever notice the women are always "normal" size?
I don't mind that Ina Garten is overweight, she is not in the public because of her weight, of course it would be nicer if she weighed less as it is better for her health.
Never wash bananas, I only soak cantaloupe and watermelon when I'm in Mexico, not in the USA.
Since that wide spread either e-coli or salmanila (sp)(can't remember which) I think it was last year ON cantaloupe that were raised in the US...I wash all melons with a veggie wash before I cut anything!
In fact, all purchased veggies get washed with homemade veggie wash before consumption. What I grow here at home gets washed off with water & a scrub brush if needed (like carrots)!
I agree about the farm bill, but there is one other factor that I don't think they are considering....the farmer that grows the crops, milks the cows, etc. also benefits from food stamps by having a bigger market to sell to.
However, the "farmers" that benefit the most are big conglomerate corporations and not individuals. And guess who they con tribute to by way of campai gn contri butions...both sides!
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
ga, the reason the FS program is run by the USDA is because the legislators who wrote the original bill knew it would benefit farmers, too. But, the current crop of legislators is abysmally ignorant of history (ALL history!) and they glory in their ignorance.
I have got to get my 2 cents in on this food stamp business. And my opinion probably won't be popular.
I was raised in a family that would rather be de.ad that be on any kind of public assistance.
My Dad worked hard, and I think we had plenty, but there were 7 children and our grandmother for my parents to support. We only had one car and my father took that to work, and only drove it between work and home as gas was expensive.
My mother went to the grocery store pulling a red wagon, which she used to get the groceries home. I was a teenager before I ever, and I mean ever, had a bite of processed, store bought, ready made food. No food came in boxes at our house. Never saw such a thing. We ate simple, nutritious meals made from in season foods because that was the cheapest. We rarely had treats. I didn't even know such a thing as soda pop existed. We were all fit and slim, and I have to say happy. We were expected to help at home and work hard in school, and to prepare for jobs in our future by gaining marketable skills. My parents never wasted money on things like ciga.rettes or alch.ohol or even magazines.
So mom's tips for feeding the family were to buy the big sack of potatoes, and wheel it home in the wagon. She bought the big bag of carrots too, and budget buy hamburger, and a big bag of onions. Add a few cans of tomatoes, and you can make dinner for a family of 10 for a long time. Breakfast was usually oatmeal. Lunch was a peanut butter sandwich and an apple and water.
So even though I have sympathy for people who are down on their luck temporarily, I think most people in that situation need to work a little harder, and do a little better, and get themselves to self sufficiency as quick as they can. There is a self respect in a simple economical life, that seems to be missing in those who sit around and wait for handouts from the government.
Sorry sms29s66, but I think the FS program, and other government handout type programs should be used very rarely, if ever, and I believe most people, who aren't legitimately disabled, can support themselves if they have a mind to.
Oh, and about buying a small amount of something from a salad bar to take home....just wash it when you get home, then you will know it is clean.This message has been edited. Last edited by: cocok,
WOW! Reading this post was like a "train wreck" for me... just couldn't look away!?! Talk about going off the rails at times!!
Anyway, on salad bar stuff. A little OT... not so much on cleanliness of products but quality. Have a friend who goes to a higher end supermarket at lunch with co-workers on occasions to get lunch at their salad bar. The next time she went, got a salad, and 2 separate containers of their sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil and REAL bacon bits... said they were very good and lb for lb a MUCH better deal than buying separately.
cocok, the next time I see a senior citizen using FS stamps, I'll chide them about about working harder and suggest they get a wagon.
I would not criticize a senior citizen for using food stamps. Sometimes age can be disabling.
It's all too easy to bash the poor.
You talk about being poor, sms29s66, as if it is a lifetime sentence. It isn't.
Thirty seven years with Social Services convinces me otherwise for a large segment of the population. You can flatter yourself with the notion that all it takes is an individual's determination to make something more of himself, but public policy weighs heavily on everyone's ability to achieve. Student debt is an example.
But it is apparent that we are not going to reach an agreement on this subject, and it has been discussed enough for this thread.This message has been edited. Last edited by: sms29s66,
This makes me think of during WW 2 when my dad (father of six children was serving our country) and we children would ask my Mom, (who was working in a neighborhood grocery store) if we could have a treat. She would occasionally give us a quarter to buy a bottle of ginger ale.
We can't compare life today to life then or even when Cocok who I think is much younger than I, is speaking of.
Laws, customs, expectations, morals, etc have all changed. Did you know it was against the law to have s ex when you weren't married? I am not speaking of a dultary I mean two single people. If we compared everything of today to everything of our young selves say between 10 and 20 there is so much more to consider than just economics.
When we moved to this town there was a poor farm still in existence. It wasn't occupied but that had at one time been a "safety net" My mother told about a bureau we had for many year in our dining room, that in her youth had been used to store bed linens for the times neighbors would be in need of nursing help.
Our newspaper had a separate section on the aging of the population of Maine, yesterday. A friend called me this morning and we were talking about it. She hadn't read it but she said that everyone should have saved enough to take care of themselves in their old age. The articles were really about the lack of facilities in Maine and services, not so much the cost of them.
The breakdown of the family, the relaxation of attitudes re: children born out of wedlock, the phenomenon of large numbers of working mothers, day care even when mothers don't work etc.
We can't judge others by the standards of another time. Many of us have just skated by with no ill effects from fortune or bad luck. Not necessarily because we have been superior in our decisions or efforts, but just because that is the way our lives have worked out.
Thank you LOS for not getting annoyed with us.
I found an interesting report this morning on upward (or lack there of) mobility in the country. It seems if you were born poor in most areas of the country you will more than likely die poor.
Here it is: www.nytimes.com/2013/07/22/bus...dit_th_20130722&_r=0

What do you mean by this? Please explain how you relate student debt in this?
This is from the Ohio Poverty Law Center: Not surprisingly, the study found that the relative cost of post-secondary education was more burdensome for lower income households. A family living on $36,000 or less per year would have to pay more than 70% of its income to cover college costs, after accounting for grant aid.
Fun and Info
Meicha, isn't it generally supposed that a good education is the best way out of poverty? Ergo, if a good education is financially out of bounds for already poor people, then loans are the only way. Loans = student debt. Student loans are definitely controlled by public policy and have been in the news lately.
I do believe that education is the best way out of poverty. I also believe in hard work, and self sufficiency. And I don't believe that life just happens. We make decisions, and our decisions have consequences, good and bad.
For instance, I have a female relative who is raising a daughter alone due to divorce. She is making about 1,000 a month. That is 12,000 a year. I consider that poverty or pretty close to it. She receives no maintenance or child support, (bum of an ex) and no public assistance. How does she do it? She lives on principals of economy. She drives her very old car as little as possible, she never eats out, and she prepares meals that often substitute beans for meat etc. Her home is very modest, but it is clean and orderly. She buys her clothing and most of her goods at thrift shops. She doesn't have a computer at home, and no cable, no fancy telephone, etc.
Her daughter is attending the local university. When her daughter was young she explained that she would have a better life if she was educated, but that there would be no money for college, so the daughter worked hard, and focused on her schoolwork, so that she could qualify herself for a scholarship, which she did earn. Her daughter has a part time job during the school year, and works full time during the summer to supplement the scholarship money. They have not borrowed any money for schooling, and will not be in debt when she graduates.
Her daughter will do better that she does financially because she has set herself a practical course of study and will graduate with marketable job skills.
Again, I grew up in a family system with a very clearly defined work ethic, where economy was practiced out of necessity, and "sitting on the dole" as my parents put it, was unacceptable and unheard of. I learned that to do without was plain and simply OK.
I know that there are people who need assistance. And some people need it due to no fault of their own. True. But I still maintain, that Food stamps or other assistance programs should be a temporary help, and that the real good comes when people are helped to be able to gain self sufficiency.
As I said, I expect that my opinion on this will probably be unpopular.This message has been edited. Last edited by: cocok,
Why is it praiseworthy that your female relative was dumb enough to have a child with a bum and then not pursue child support? Children are legally and morally entitled to the support of both parents.This message has been edited. Last edited by: sms29s66,
Don't think Cocok meant it as "praiseworthy"- just stating the facts as relating to family member. I agree about child support, however there are men who skate by without ever paying a dime of support-old saying, can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
Actually with the way the courts work these days they will squeeze every dime they can out of that turnip. If he gets a paycheck anywhere in the US they can go after him.
Fun and Info
And some guys have no paycheck, or pay once or partially and then lag behind for next 6 months until they go to court again. Some women at that point just give up.
Who do you think goes after the deadbeat parents? Child Support Enforcement is part of the dreaded Social Services that everyone loves to hate.
But we have surely beat the poor to death on this thread. Enough...The poor don't DESERVE fresh veggies on a salad bar!!!!
As far as my relative, you are right, mamaspoon, I am just stating the facts in her situation. As far as pursuing child support, she doesn't have the means or time to chase after it, and she knows there isn't enough to get, to make it worthwhile. She just moved on.
And to set the record straight, sms29s66, I don't hate social services.
I also don't hate the "poor". Obviously, I have given examples from my own life in this discussion to show that I can relate to hard times.
What my point is, is that I believe that people in general do better when they can achieve self sufficiency. I am not in support of any system that encourages dependance on government handouts, without an exit pathway from that assistance. By exit pathway I mean a plan to get off assistance as soon as possible by gaining job skills or learning how to better manage financially or whatever. I believe that government assistance should be temporary, not a way of life.
Of course there are going to be people who aren't going to be able to get off assistance. The elderly for instance, or people who are permanently disabled.
And I am not beating the poor to death, and I am not saying the poor don't deserve fresh food.
In this age of no new taxes, which budgets do you think gets cut the deepest and fastest? Which are usually the last to get restored when times are good? Frivolous stuff like job training. Even then many localities have cut out child care or reduced it to the point of non existence so what is a woman to do with her children? We as a society has decided it is easier to blame the poor and walk away saying much as what has been posted here.
No one thinks twice about the corporate raiders and billionaires who take and take and take - they are bigger welfare queens than anyone who receives food stamps and WIC. As long as major corporations get by without paying a dime in taxes, our local governments are happy to give my hard earned tax dollars to any tom, d-ick and harry corp that puts on a good story, and billionaires don't pay their fair share - I will have no problem with any poor person getting a few crumbs from the table.
To reiterate what I posted previously - with the squeeze on the middle class and working poor (and unfortunately today many who used to be middle class are now working poor) they should take advantage of programs available. Trust me - Donald Trump takes every tax handout available and if he's not too proud, why should I be? In fact things like unemployment, food stamps, WIC and others do more for the economy than a tax giveaway to the Donald. That money goes right back into the local economy, not socked away in an off shore account.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming,

Yay, Charming. I am going to resist taking the bait of discussing the Child Care Program. I was in charge of the first Quality Control review of that program in Louisiana. Let me just say that I was astounded to discover the number of state legislators whose relatives suddenly became owners of day care centers....
Life does just happen (who wants to get sick or blind or fired etc?) and we do make decisions and our decisions have consequences, as you illustrate Cocok in your story of your relative.
I believe also in education but as higher education becomes more and more necessary for any kind of employment it does not equal an increase in jobs paying living wages. My DD graduated from a very good private college (student loans/aid /scholarships. . . we paid back the loans) but her desired work was not in a field that paid very well. When she got her first apt with 2 friends she had to take the least desirable accommodations because she could not pay an equal share of the rent.
Now she is a stay at home Mom and it is her husband's salary that supports them all. This is what I mean by some people "skating" by. Now that I am very near the end of my time, I see how fortunate I have been, in health, safety, esteem of my fellows, acceptance, etc. It's true that I have not made major foolish mistakes or taken risks or had self destructive habits but by and large my good fortune really has had nothing to do with me.
About the cost of higher education. If I recall my DD's first year of college was about 1/2 our annual income. Yesterday I asked a friend what she considered the lowest amount of a wealthy income. She said 250K a year. I repeated that to DH and he said "yes, unless you have 5 kids on college!" I do know of one such family (triplets in between two singles)
Sometimes I wish I could know what my Dad would think of his 18 grandchildren. Three have terminal degrees, and nine more have college degrees. In general the degreed people do do well, but sometimes it is a mate's income. At least 2 of the non educated also do very well and in one of those cases it was in fact "luck" that is the reason.

Most of Central Florida's Delegation Votes "No" on Fiscal Deal
January 2, 2012 | WMFE - The US House of Representatives reached a compromise late Tuesday night and passed a bill to avoid the fiscal cliff. The US Senate passed its bill in the early morning hours Tuesday. The deal allows tax cuts to expire for people making less than $450,000 a year. It also extends benefits for about two million unemployed workers and will delay, until March 1st, automatic cuts in defense spending that had been set to take effect today.
All of central Florida's Republican Congress members voted against the bill including Representatives John Mica, Sandy Adams, Bill Posey, Rich Nugent and Daniel Webster.
The region's only Democratic House member, Congresswoman Corrine Brown, voted "Yes."
Republican Congressmen Bill Young of Pinellas County and Vern Buchanan from Sarasota crossed party lines to vote with all of Florida's Democratic representatives in favor of the bill.
In the Senate, Florida's delegation split along party lines with Democratic Senator Bill Nelson voting "Yes." Republican Senator Marco Rubio was one of only eight senators voting against the bill.
Senator Rubio released a statement saying he couldn't vote for a bill that, he said, would raise taxes on small businesses and inhibit job creation.

Gov. Scott Announces More Colleges to Offer $10,000 Degrees
January 28, 2013 | WMFE- Governor Rick Scott says more community and state colleges are accepting his challenge to develop four-year degrees costing students less than $10,000. Governor Scott is expected to announce the additional colleges in an appearance at Miami-Dade College today.
Scott said late last year that the degrees should be in fields that will provide the graduates with the best opportunity for employment.
In recent years, many of Florida's state and community colleges have started offering a limited number of four-year degrees but most of their students remain in two-year programs.
Most of Florida's bachelor's degrees still are produced by the state's 12 public universities although many of those students spent their first two years at a community or state college before transferring to one of the state's universities.

We all had the same reaction when we first heard the news of the mass shootings at Sandy Hook School in Newtown: shock and disbelief.
And then, when the reality set in that 20 children and six adults had indeed been murdered at the school by a gunman, we all again had the same feeling — 'What can I do to help?'
Patch Ad Manager Lindsay Braun wanted to do more than watch what was happening. On Friday night, less than 12 hours after the shootings, she sent this email to her colleagues across eastern Connecticut:
"Fellow Patch Team members, As many of you are probably feeling tonight, this senseless tragedy has made us all feel helpless. I want to do something for these poor families. I will be collecting stuffed animals for the children of Newtown over the next week. ... I want these children to have something to comfort them, and something to hug in the coming weeks as this all unfolds."
And so was born Operation Snuggle Newtown.
Even though Newtown is miles from most of the Patch towns in what we call eastern Connecticut, we are all united in our feelings about what happened. Newtown is Stonington; Newtown is Avon; Newtown is Vernon; Newtown is Durham. It could be any of us going through what the residents of Newtown are going through, and through the power of Patch we want to show those folks — and especially those children — that they are not alone.
Below is a list of local businesses that have agreed to be drop-off locations for Operation Sunggle Newtown. This week, if you can, drop off a new teddy bear at any of these businesses. If you'd like, please leave a card with your name and feel free to share your thoughts of condolence. We want to show Newtown that they are not alone.
If you are a business and would like to be a drop-off point for Operation Snuggle Newtown, please leave your business name, street address and town in the comments and we will add you to the list.

As of January 27th, the United States Postal Service has raised their shipping rates. In this rate hike, international customers have been especially hard hit.
At TeeFury, we pride ourselves on the fact that we sell really great shirts at a great price, so we're saddened by the fact that receiving our tees may now cost more for some of you. We're currently investigating alternatives to USPS for international shipments, with the goal of continuing to deliver our shirts to all customers at the fairest price possible.
Thanks to everyone for your patience and support!

squizzle76 weeks agoJust noticed that... but it's not that bad!
kevinwatt76 weeks agoNot that bad? It is a 60% increase - that is very bad.
CaroMac76 weeks agoOW! I hope so! I had been noticing shipping fluctuating with my purchases... I guess quantity. But I just checked out, without really looking and then literally CHOKED when I saw my email invoice! $7.95?!? Well that puts a stop to purchasing. I can get cheaper graphic tees at WalMart and Indy stores at the mall. Geeeeeez Louise.
bundus76 weeks agoI guess its just +$3 but that pushes them to $20 :\
rich_lynch176 weeks agoWas gonna order 'Sir Duck Hunt' and cancelled cause the order woulda cost $4.00 more than the norm!
gulruth76 weeks agoI was about to order the red shirt Star Trek shirt, then I noticed a 4.00 $ increase to the shipping. Not gonna order at that rate as much as I love the 4 shirts I have already ordered.
SkipperLarry76 weeks agoI live in Anaheim. Can I order a shirt and pick it up at your place?
mikeoxbig2276 weeks agoYeah that blows. I'm still going to buy but It will only be ones I love love love now. Thats smurfy cause I wanted tonight shirt but not at 19 bux a pop.
BalerinaCass76 weeks agoAfter reading the comments, I guess I got really lucky. My shipping price only increased 25¢!
lyndairish76 weeks agoIt will have to be extra special now to order it with the extra $4.00 shipping to Canada. Darn postal systems.
Enon76 weeks ago8 bucks for shipping is pretty steep. Sorry, guys. Let us know when you find an alternative. I'll save my wallet some stress for a while.
LeftSeat76 weeks agoWell that just blows sheep. $19 to the door for me now makes me really question if one will be ordered from now on. I bought 19 shirts from TeeFury in 2012 and half were on instant buys without thought. Now I must think... and that smurfs because buying a t-shirt should not require much thought. Thanks a lot USPS!!!
Sam, can I send you a trained homing pigeon to pick up each shirt I order and would that suffice as a lower cost shipping alternative? :P
District1276 weeks agoLiving so close to the office (I'm in Long Beach, 30 miles away), it only went up 25 cents for me.
kamina2176 weeks agooh damn...17.50usd (old price) vs 21.50usd (new price)....i wont be able to buy as many tees as i would like, now : /
jaimejaimes76 weeks agoYoo what happend to the Grab Bag, haven't seen one in a while??
Ramriel76 weeks agoMy shipping went up to $3.25 (Hawaii) which thankfully isn't a big change. So I can still buy shirts from you guys. :)
Still, you guys may want to change shipping companies or something. From the comments, it seems like Teefury will be losing a lot of business because some people's shipping increased by quite a bit.
mommalee76 weeks agoSince the shirts aren't shipped on a daily basis, perhaps for us international types you can find a mechanism to determine the S&H on a bimonthly basis for all shirts we ordered during that period.
I have gotten pickier with what I order and will usually send them to US family who can then send them to me much cheaper.
jezzzerd76 weeks agoWow. 11.75$ is the cheapest shipping method?! That's insane! I really hope you find a cheaper solution, because I'm not going to order a shirt and then pay more for shipping than for the actual shirt
daliadoll76 weeks agoI knew I wasn't crazy! That's a shame, although I know it's not your fault.
Okojo76 weeks agoAs a French customer, this is a hard blow. I'll wait a bit to see if you guys find a solution :/
awyeahtitans76 weeks agoI just emailed ask about it then saw this. I was always upset my wife could order a shirt, from Canada, and pay a few bucks for shipping, and I would have to pay at least $3 or $4 more. To get a shirt shipped in the same bag, to the same place, and to have to pay more always bothered me between men's and women's shirts costs. Same price for a shirt, different cost for men vs womens shipping.
Now with the hike I doubt I'll order past today until something is worked out.
Cactmoore76 weeks agoStill less than half the cost of getting a shirt shipped here from the Wizards of the Coast store. You guys will still get all my nerd-related clothing business.
chmor16376 weeks agoI'm from Canada and $18 a shirt is really pushing it... given i usually buy a tshirt every other week or so. Guess the design will have to be truly outstanding for me to fork the money from now on. I hope you'll find a way around this eventually.
Dreamkey76 weeks agoWow, it was $7.59 (which was already expensive), now it's $11.75 to France, the tee is cheaper than the shipping!
Why not have a system where I order a tee, I pay $10 but you don't ship it immediately. Then when I order a second tee another day, I pay $10 + the shipping for the two tees?
ToddBowers76 weeks agoOUCH! I was thinking of buying a shirt for a friend in England but with this rate increase I'll probably have to pass.

Official figures show that the value of exports from Wales is higher than the UK average and also more than 100% higher than at the turn of the century, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Cymru/Wales highlights today.
As well as leading the way on exports, the figures also show that Welsh companies are less exposed to the uncertainty of the Eurozone with EU countries accounting for 43% of export destinations, compared to 48% UK wide.
Ben Cottam, head of ACCA Cymru/Wales, said: 'A huge proportion of the private sector in Wales is comprised of smaller businesses and it is fantastic to see that they are seizing the opportunities offered by trading outside of our borders. More so than ever we live in a global economy and firms in Cardiff are competing just as much with firms from China or Brazil as they are from Swansea or Wrexham.
'International trade offers huge opportunities for growth and success, but it also comes with risks. Foreign exchange risks are consistently mentioned as one of the issues with doing business abroad. Fluctuating exchange rates can leave SMEs out of pocket if their revenues and costs are in different currencies. ACCA's own research found that around 45% of accountants with small and medium sized clients said foreign exchange risk as an issue for their clients. Your ACCA accountant should always be your first port of call for advice on this and any other financial or business planning matters.'
- The figures were released by the Office for National Statistics, and ACCA's report of foreign exchange risks can be viewed via the 'Related Links' section, left of this article.

Your iPod needs a home. It's fine with being moved from place to place at your side, pumping out tunes, running apps, and fielding your phone calls — after all, that's what it was made for.
