Poverty in India can be best described through the Global Hunger Index (GHI). It uncovers the fact that there is wide spectrum of poverty and hence, hunger across India. Economic growth does not necessarily reduce poverty. India scores poorly on this index compared to its economic status because the poor are excluded from the mainstream economy and development..

One-third World's Poor Live in India
India is home to the largest number of poor in the world. The latest estimate suggests that over 400 million people live below the official poverty line. Compare this number with the entire population of the South American continent estimated to be about 380 million or the US population of 310 million. Given the nature of rural Indian economy all shades of poverty can be found in India – from moderate under-nutrition to extreme starvation. Therefore, it is more realistic to measure Indian poverty through the lens of under-nutrition and hunger. Clearly the Global Hunger Index (GHI) is the ideal tool to analyze it.
Global Hunger Index (GHI)
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a multidimensional measure of malnutrition and hunger. It is published every year by The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in association with an Irish group, Concern Worldwide and a German group, Welthungerhilfe. It provides a better picture of poverty for countries where people are struggling with food insecurity, hunger and starvation. It scores countries based on three equally weighted indicators: proportion of undernourished population, proportion of underweight children under five, and the mortality rate of children under the age of five.
The index number varies between 0 and 100. The higher the score, the worst the food/nourishment related poverty of the country. Values below 5 reflect "low hunger", 5 – 10 indicate "moderate hunger", 10 – 20 implies "serious hunger", scores in the range 20 – 30 show "alarming hunger" and values over 30 mean "extremely alarming hunger" situation.
Status of Global Hunger
The GHI published in 2010 indicates that in last 20 years, the extent of hunger has decreased worldwide. Compared with 1990 data, the 2010 GHI fell by 14% in the sub-Saharan Africa, by about 33% in North Africa, by 25% in South Asia, and most significantly by over 40% in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
On the GHI scale sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (mainly India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) have the worst score, 22.9 and 21.7 respectively – reflecting "alarming hunger". Though the scores are similar, reasons of food insecurities are different. In South Asia, it is due to high prevalence of underweight children under five resulting from the lower nutrition and educational status of women. In sub-Saharan Africa, the high GHI score comes from the high child mortality rates and the high malnutrition due of bad governance, conflicts, political instability and high HIV/AID rates.
Hunger in India
According to the 2010 GHI report, India is among 29 countries with the highest levels of hunger, stunted children, and poorly fed women. Despite the strong economy, it was placed at position 67 among 84 countries ranked on GHI; it faired worst than Sri Lanka (at 39) and Pakistan (at 52) and way behind China. Even Sudan, Zimbabwe and North Korea do better than India on this index! The hunger level in India (along with Pakistan and Bangladesh) is higher than per capita gross national income (GNI), suggesting very high level of inequality in income distribution. This fact also confirms that the so-called economic reforms in India are meant only for those who are already better off and live in cities.
The report pointed out that India scores badly on this index due to high levels of child underweight resulting from the low nutritional level and social status of women in the country. Because of large population, India is home to 42 percent of the world's underweight children (Pakistan 5 percent) and 31 percent of stunted children (whose height is low for their age). This is despite the fact that India runs the world's largest free-meal program for school going children.
However, there is an improvement compared with the 1990 data: the prevalence of underweight children dropped from 60 percent to 44 percent and the under-five mortality rate fell from 12 percent to 7 percent. The food insecurity and hence, under-five undernourishment is so rampant across the country that India finds company with Bangladesh and Yemen. Acknowledging it the Indian government is planning to bring in the national Food Security Act soon.
The report also highlighted the importance of early childhood under-nutrition among children younger than the age of two. Children who do not receive adequate nutrition during this period have increased risks to experiencing lifelong damage, including poor physical and cognitive development, poor health, and even early death. However, malnutrition after the age of two is largely reversible.
Hunger in Indian States
In 2008, the India State Hunger Index (ISHI) was published highlighting severe hunger situation in India. It is constructed similar to GHI and was calculated for 17 states, covering over 95% of population. None of the states had ISHI lower than 10: the ISHI score ranged from 13.6 ("serious") for Punjab to 30.9 ("extremely alarming") for Madhya Pradesh, reflecting substantial variability. Twelve states had scores in the range, 20 – 30, implying an "alarming" hunger level.
In fact, when compared with GHI rankings of different countries Indian states covered a wide range of hunger: from rather well-off Punjab (at rank 34) to Madhya Pradesh (at 82) where more people suffer from hunger than in Ethiopia or Sudan and where 60 percent children are undernourished. The other worst performing states – Bihar and Jharkhand – had index scores similar to Zimbabwe and Haiti.
The ISHI scores align closely with poverty level in states, but show little correlation with state's economic growth; high hunger level is seen even in states doing well economically. Therefore, economic growth is not necessarily associated with poverty reduction.
The ISHI report clearly highlights that in India more efforts are needed to improve child nutrition, particularly in states like Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh and improve strategies to facilitate inclusive economic growth.
It is clear that poverty is not homogeneously spread in India; some major populous states such as Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh need serious attention as far as food sufficiency and child nutrition is concerned. Moreover, the fact that economic growth does not necessarily correlate with reduced poverty is a cause for concern because the benefits are not trickling down to the poor. Therefore, it is important that the government provides education, healthcare and other social benefits to the poor so that they become capable and join the mainstream economy.

Democratic near panic in Washington as Mitt Romney bandwagon rolls -- Contrast in mood with happy Republicans is very evident as race closes

Mitt Romney Republican candidate looking happy |
Washington D.C: The contrast in confidence between Democratic and Republican supporters here in Washington is striking.
Our newspaper Irish Voice hosted our annual Legal 100 event here last night at the residence of the Irish Ambassador Michael Collins, and the talk among the well connected from both sides who showed up was all about the election.
There were many movers and shakers among the large crowd and the mood shift was evident.
Democrats frankly were grim. "It comes down to Ohio?" said a former prominent politician. "It did for Kerry in 2004 and he lost it right there and we could lose it too."
"We have to hold Ohio," said another stalwart and major fundraiser. "We have no hope other than doing that -- It looks like the ground game is the only way we can hold it."
The main hope of the Democratic side seemed to be in that massive turn out the vote effort. "It's not the economy stupid," said one political leader, "it's the turnout stupid."
A Democratic foot soldier from Pennsylvania talked about the massive effort underway there. "We will add two points to the polls," he predicted.

Several referred to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's race in Nevada a few years back when polls showed him five behind, yet, because of his massive organization, he won the day.
Democrats frankly are reeling at how hard and how fast Obama appears to have fallen. The ABC /Washington Post poll on Thursday shows him three behind, a similar margin to several other polls.
At the end of September he seemed to be cruising to victory with polls showing him well ahead, now he enters the final week and a half gasping for his political life.
Republicans in Washington have a pep in their step. "We're ahead in the national polls, no doubt about it and the state polls will adjust," said one big campaign donor many years on the scene.
Obama wrote off Romney far too soon said another. This is a fifty-fifty election he said, it was always going to come down to that.
Obama's attitude in the first debate clearly cost him dear they say. He was just not prepped enough thinking he would easily deal with Romney.
One person discussed a recent lunch with Bill Clinton saying there was no great wisdom there either, only a sense of deep frustration that Romney's reposition had seemingly won over a large slice of the undecided.
Right now in Washington the GOP are confident, even cocky. The next ten days will tell whether that is justified or a celebration too soon.

If Romney "the outsourcer" gets in, you will see a further erosion of middle class workers rights to a decent wage, healthcare, pensions etc. This is a man who was a pioneer sending U.S. worker jobs to China. Also, and most importantly the Romney/Ryan plan will bankrupt Medicare for those 55 and over, so don't erroneously feel if your above 55 your safe. The "voucher program" will pull all the younger, healthy people and their contribution, away from Medicare, leaving it with insufficient funds to survive.And lastly Romney is "very" willing to take this country into war with Iran; a war winch will cause a great loss of life and a far greater impact on our growing national debt.That's what a Romney presidency will look like.

The national polls are certainly sources of peppy steps for the GOP but the toss up states, where the election will be decided are still too close to call or in favor of the PResident. So my advice is not to give up the ground game and not be too cocky about the outcome. I think this whole thing is a ploy to bring overconfidence to the opposition and in that lose the electio for Romney/Ryan. How's that for a conspiracy theory? Anyway both sides will have to fight hard for Ohio and now WIsconsin as well, if they hope to win it all.

Smyrnian, as I said before, you cannot accept reality and your stupid remarks make it easy for other stupid people to believe stupid things. If you are unaware of doing it, educate yourself. If you are aware of doing it, then you are probably being paid by the RNC to troll websites and deflect attention away from the truth. "If you believe that men would break the law, you are crazy" the song goes. Well, the RNC should get better for their money. If I were a whore, I would have accepted their offer and been a "freelance writer" too. But no matter how much you are paid to look stupid in public, you cannot argue the facts. And for that fact, the rest of us feel pity for you. Now put on your helmet and go over to Murph's house and play Mousetrap.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Roy Williams, as the Dallas Cowboys picked up a much-needed victory by beating the Houston Texans, 27-13, at Reliant Stadium.
Romo turned in a solid performance, completing 23-of-30 tosses for 284 yards. Williams had five receptions for 117 yards for the Cowboys (1-2), who avoided dropping their first three games of the year for the first time since 2001.
"It was a big win for this football team," Williams said. "Everyone counted us out all week and changed their Super Bowl predictions. We took that in and went out there and played ball."
Matt Schaub threw for 241 yards on 23-of-32 attempts with one touchdown and two interceptions for the Texans (2-1), who were aiming to start a season 3-0 for the first time in franchise history. Arian Foster finished the game with 106 yards on 17 carries.
"We struggled today. We made mistakes. We weren't very good in the red zone. We hurt ourselves with some big penalties," said Houston head coach Gary Kubiak.
The Cowboys went for it on fourth down twice on the game's opening drive, opting against a field goal and stalling at the Houston 29-yard line.
Houston crossed midfield on its first possession but was forced to punt. The Texans marched into Dallas territory on their next series. The big play coming when Foster took a delayed handoff and converted a 3rd-and-19 with a 21-yard run to the Cowboys' 32. On the next play, Schaub hit Andre Johnson on a screen pass and he rumbled to the six, but the Texans were forced to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Neil Rackers four minutes into the second quarter.
Romo and the Cowboys responded on the subsequent series, engineering a 13-play drive that began with an illegal blocking penalty negating a 32-yard reception by Felix Jones. Dallas overcame the mistake, converting a trio of lengthy third downs en route to a one-yard TD run from Marion Barber.
Dallas got the ball back after a punt, and David Buehler drilled a 49-yard field goal as the half expired to put the Cowboys 10-3.
Following the break, cornerback Mike Jenkins picked off Schaub -- the first takeaway of the season by the Dallas defense - and the Cowboys converted the turnover into a 15-yard TD pass from Romo to Williams.
Schaub led the Texans to the goal line on the ensuing drive, but successive runs by Foster resulted in a loss of two yards. Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking then sacked Schaub on third down and Rackers trimmed Houston's deficit to 17-6 with a 30-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys increased their lead after Romo and Williams hooked up for a 63- yard TD, and a Foster fumble resulted in Buehler kicking a 40-yarder to make it 27-6.
Schaub hit Kevin Walter for a seven-yard score with 1:15 remaining and Houston recovered the onside kick to keep things interesting. However, any chance of a dramatic comeback were squashed when Danny McCray intercepted a tipped ball thrown by Schaub.

Duke Names New Trustee Chair
By Dave DeWitt
Rick Wagoner is the new Chair of the Board of Trustees at Duke University. Wagoner is the former CEO at General Motors.
It was a little more than 2 years ago that Wagoner resigned as CEO at GM after being asked to do so by the White House. During his 13 years in charge of the company, it lost about $85 billion.
Wagoner graduated from Duke in 1975 and joined GM two years later, after earning an MBA from Harvard. Wagoner's wife Kathy and his three sons also attended Duke. Over the weekend, the Duke trustees also passed a $2.1 billion annual budget - a nearly five percent increase over last year. The budget includes raises for faculty and staff and a resumption of some building projects.

He's accused of running down 22-year-old Jacob Lee Wyckoff with his truck.
On Wednesday, the Sheriff's Department confirmed that Perez was behind the wheel 10 years ago, when his then
10-year-old brother jumped on the hood and fell under the moving vehicle. The boy died days later.
Wyckoff's family gathered to honor his memory in a candlelight memorial, gathering at the spot where loved ones say the 22 year old was left for dead.
Marking the spot are candles, photos and keepsakes honoring Wyckoff's life.
Deputies say he was found lying in the roadway in the 15-thousand block of North Twin Lakes Drive in Catalina.
Family members are still trying to accept he's gone, let alone how it happened.
His mom Julie Rogiers says she's been reading his Bible and journal as a way to stay connected.
She hopes something positive can come from her loss.
The man accused of taking her son's life has been booked into the Pima County Jail. The Sheriff's Department says the investigation is ongoing.

Reviewer: Tim Parker
One of the annoyances of administering networks is the need to change passwords regularly. We change passwords often for security reasons and that's fine. What bothers me is the need to log in to each machine individually and run the password changing programs on each one, then log into each individual application that has its own user and password lists independent of the host machine and change the passwords there. My office network requires over thirty such changes; my home network, eight.
If I were running only UNIX, then I could use NIS and let that service change my machine passwords for me. However, NIS doesn't change non-UNIX passwords and doesn't do anything for application passwords. The same applies to Windows NT-based domains, where a central user list is maintained. Domain users don't extend to UNIX or applications. Utilities exist to provide some cross-platform support for NIS and NT domains, but I haven't found one that works well across my mixed network platforms.
Obviously, this is a problem that has plagued users for years. The folks at M-Tech (Calgary, Alberta) have done something about it. M-Tech's solution is called P-Synch (for password synchronization). It uses a number of scripts and API routines to perform all the password changes on your network from a single location. (It is an obvious solution, once you've seen it work.) I first encountered P-Synch two years ago in an earlier version and have used it religiously on my own networks, recommended it to many clients and written about it extensively since. A Linux implementation of P-Synch was an obvious spinoff of the UNIX version. Even better, M-Tech has released a new version of P-Synch which adds several new features that make it more functional and easier to manage.
As you may have gathered from the comments above, P-Synch uses scripts to change passwords on all applications and machines you tell it to access. P-Synch accomplishes this by using either a native API or TELNET to log in to each machine or application one at a time, running whatever commands are necessary to modify the passwords. You specify only the password to change to (or to reset) and P-Synch runs through its list of targets in the background. Since only a single copy of P-Synch is required anywhere on the network, no client programs need to be installed on each machine. The user interface can be character-based, GUI or HTML. An administrator defines which machines and applications a user can modify passwords on, as well as more advanced options such as password aging.
Since P-Synch is script-based, it can change passwords on any machine or application that can be logged in to using TELNET or for which an API can be written. The list of M-Tech-provided scripts for operating systems is lengthy: Linux, many versions of UNIX, NetWare, Windows 95/98 and NT, LAN Manager, PathWorks, MVS and VMS. Application scripts available from M-Tech include Oracle, Sybase, SQL-Server, cc:Mail, MS-Mail, Exchange, GroupWise and GroupWare (including Lotus Notes). Scripts for other targets are starting to appear in Usenet newsgroups and on web pages, mostly written by P-Synch administrators.
The documentation for P-Synch may be downloaded from the M-Tech web site in PDF, PS or HTML formats. You can download uncompressed, ZIP or GZIP versions. The installation and configuration guide is about 260 pages long, but you will likely need to examine only a few pages to install P-Synch properly. Instead of printing the entire document, an Acrobat or PostScript viewer is best used to find those sections of interest. (Viewing on-line saves both time and paper.)
If you are running NIS (or a Windows-based alternative), P-Synch needs to run on the master. P-Synch will not function properly if installed on a client of an NIS master. (NIS does not allow administrative password changes from clients.) If you are not running NIS or a similar network-wide user management system, P-Synch can reside on any machine on the network. All machines must be running TCP/IP. P-Synch can coexist quite happily with NIS, handling the non-NIS targets only, if you prefer.
Prior to installing P-Synch, you must gather a list of the IP addresses of each machine on which P-Synch will change passwords. P-Synch requires root (or equivalent) access on each of these machines. It is handy to create a test account or two on the server and a few clients to make sure P-Synch is performing its tasks properly before trusting it to your network-wide password management. These test accounts can be deleted after testing or saved for other purposes. A complete installation takes about 4MB of disk space (noticeably down from the last version's requirement of 9MB).
Installing P-Synch takes only a few minutes; however, configuring for a network with several applications and operating systems can take a while longer. The usual installation procedure is to copy or download the files to your Linux machine and extract the files in the library (tar, gzip or zip). One such library file is called unix_srv.tar and contains binaries for all supported UNIX and Linux platforms. After extracting this tar file, an installation shell script is run which handles the file setup procedure. A manual check of a configuration file to ensure it has the proper location for the passwd file (by default, it assumes /etc/passwd) completes the file setup. P-Synch normally uses TCP port 106, but this can be changed if port 106 is in use by another service. To test the installation, a TELNET session to the TCP port should produce a password prompt, at which point the installation is finished. The installation guide contains a list of common problems encountered when setting up P-Synch and they should account for most Linux system configurations.
P-Synch uses a script called psynch.conf to manage password changes. Separate parts of the program control users changing their own passwords, as well as root changing any password. On Linux and UNIX systems, P-Synch modifies passwords directly by interaction with the passwd program, not through a script (which would provide a potential security hole). The psynch.conf script can be edited if necessary, which makes it easy to handle special requirements such as firewalls and proxies as well as encryption schemes that manage password files. For non-UNIX passwords, P-Synch's psynch.conf file must be modified to use a script for password changes. M-Tech provides a number of prewritten scripts for different operating systems as well as applications that reside on UNIX or Windows machines (such as Oracle, Lotus Notes and so on). Non-UNIX systems require changes to the inetd file, but these can be cut-and-pasted from M-Tech's documentation or scripts. Linux and UNIX versions of P-Synch require a login called psadmin, which is used by the server to verify that P-Synch agents on other machines are allowed to change passwords. The psadmin login should be set up so that it has no access privileges.
Our test network consisted of three Linux machines (two Red Hat and one Slackware), four that were SCO OpenServer or UnixWare and three Windows NT servers, along with twelve Windows 95/98 machines. The server applications were Oracle 8, Lotus Notes, Exchange, Novell GroupWise and SQL-Server (all on the Windows NT servers). On this network, installation and configuration of P-Synch took about two hours. Most of that time was spent setting up the non-Linux/non-UNIX password change routines, with about half an hour required to debug the various scripts. If you are working on a Linux-only network, the process will take less than ten minutes.
Once properly configured, users anywhere on the network could run the P-Synch routines to modify their own passwords. The HTML interface in particular is friendly and attractive. Users can specify which machines or applications the change affects, or accept all (the usual case). Administrators can change passwords from any client. The amount of time required for a password change depends on the network load, the number of targets and the nature of the operating systems. On our test network, the password changes went quickly, completing in under two minutes.
To test P-Synch with NIS, we set up one of the SCO machines as an NIS master and a Red Hat Linux system as the slave. We let NIS handle the password changes on half of the UNIX and Linux machines while P-Synch handled the rest of those types as well as the Windows machines. Propagation time for password changes didn't drop noticeably, which was expected since the Windows and application scripts are the major time consumers.
P-Synch is usually licensed to networks based on the number of users. M-Tech will customize the pricing plan to suit your requirements. Earlier versions of P-Synch cost about $10 per user; the latest version is likely to be similarly priced. If you don't want to worry about the password-changing hassle anymore, you'll find P-Synch to be a wonderful utility. It is fast, clean, easy to use and worth every penny. The benefits are multiplied many-fold on heterogenous networks. If you want more information about P-Synch, or want to download the application itself for evaluation, check out the M-Tech Web site at http://www.m-tech.ab.ca/. For the curious, a white paper describing P-Synch is available in Acrobat PDF and PostScript formats.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Manahawkin Girl Charged; Accused Of Hitting Cars And Then Fleeing
Seventeen-year-old not identified
A 17-year-old Manahawkin girl was caught after she allegedly struck two parked vehicles with her car in Lakehurst and then fled, reports say.
The girl, who was not identified, was charged Wednesday with reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident, police said.
This matter is pending a municipal court appearance.
Lakehurst officers went to A Street in the Pinehurst Estates section of the borough at 8 p.m. Wednesday to invesigate a reported hit-and-run. After some investigation, police learned about a female who fled after her car struck a curb and two parked cars, according to Lakehurst Police Chief Eric S. Higgins.
Upon arrival, officers were advised that a young female with several passengers had been leaving the Pinehurst Park when she struck the curb, the chief said.
Witnesses at the scene were able to provide a description of the vehicle but no license plate number. Officers were eventually able to identify the passengers in the vehicle and, subsequently, the driver of the vehicle. The driver and her parents were contacted and she responded to police headquarters.
"The driver of the vehicle advised that a passenger in the vehicle had
taken her picture and the flash caused her to lose control of the
vehicle causing her to strike the parked vehicles. The driver panicked
and fled the scene," Higgins said.
Sergeants Baranyay and Heinzman, and Officer Gallo investigated.

A few bumps on the road of LOVE
Happy Valentines Day! Today, the day of love, is meant to be enjoyed with the one that melts your heart. Romance is in the air and most likely you will have something special planned with your sweetie. I WANT to love Valentines day, however, Valentine's Day has burned me so badly in the past that I have no choice but to think that St. Valentine has it out for me (I'm pretty sure he has my picture on his wall…probably with a dart in my forehead). Hubby and I have some sort of Valentine's Day curse that over the years we have quit trying to defy and now we accept…acceptance is much better.
Today, when most of you are headed out…or headed in for Valentine's Day with your honey, I would like to recount some of my worst Valentine's flubs. By the end, I am sure you will agree that my hubby and I should lay low on this holiday…just to be safe.
First, my hubby and I have been together since high school. That's a whole lotta Valentine's gone wrong! Without further ado…the list!
When hubby and I were teenagers, probably just out of high school, he made Valentine's reservations in Beverly Hills at Le Orange and then we were headed off to a hotel for the night. Now, key to this story is that hubby drove a brand new Camero, which we will learn is not the most stable car in the world. Driving through LA down the 405, a ghetto mobile decides to change lanes right into us. To avoid being hit, we swerve. The car over compensates sending us screaming across 4 lanes towards the center divider and for the record it was most likely me that was screaming. Of course, we then over compensate the other direction and go heading back across 5 lanes towards the big drop on the other side. One last time, the car gets pulled back towards the divider and that is when hubby spins the Camero in a circle and we come to a screeching halt. It's LA, we could have been filming a movie! When I open my eyes, we are dead center in the middle of the freeway facing oncoming traffic (which has completely stopped). The closest car is about 30 feet in front of us. Everyone in the cars is staring at us with their mouths hanging open. We look around, we hit nothing! Hubby starts the car, we turn in a circle and continue driving. We probably should have stopped and gathered ourselves but I think we were too traumatized. The food was great when we arrived but we spent the rest of the night talking about how we almost died!
On the next Valentine's day, we decided to keep it simple. I bought fried chicken and a coconut cream pie (hubby's favorite). We decided to head down to the beach for a picnic. We started to set up but realized that it was going to be too windy. We drove to a cute park about 10 minutes away which was much better. I started pulling everything out and then realized that the chicken was COVERED in sand from the beach. Hubby said "that's ok, lets just eat pie!" When I pulled out the pie, it was MELTED, dripping everywhere! I think we ended up driving through Taco Bell.
One year, we decided to go to Downtown Disney. Hubby had neglected to make reservations. Of course, I completely forgave him and didn't mention it one more time that entire night…maybe… When we arrived, the place was packed! We put our name on a list, about 6 pages back from the front! She told us we could sit at the bar while we wait for our table…IF we could find a seat. We waited for almost 2 hours and then we found a seat at the bar! Woo Hoo! We started ordering drinks but no food even though it was on the menu. We wanted to sit inside, with the full menu. It was more cozy in there. 2 hours later at almost 11:30 pm we got our table. The place was nearly empty but we had waited this long! They sat us down, gave us our menu and asked for our drink order. We ordered a cocktail and I told her that these were the bar menus and we needed restaurant menus. Her reply was this "We don't serve alcohol inside, only at the bar and those are the only menus, they are the same inside and outside." WHAT?!?! You mean I have been sitting outside drinking and waiting for a table to come inside to a place I can't drink and to order food I could have had 2 hours ago?!
I then spent a few years in the flower industry. The Valentine's Days were spent helping guys figure out the meaning of roses and steering them clear of anything that might ruin their nights. Those Valentine's Days were probably the most fun but NOT the most romantic.
Things are much simpler these days. A chocolate or two, maybe a flower. Mostly, it's for the kids. It's safe and rarely stressful. But I do see it as an opportunity to get an extra foot rub while I watch tv! (Hint Hint to my hubby if he happens to be reading this!)
Whatever your Valentine's plans, ENJOY!

Finance sector among best in social media integration this year |
Tuesday, 23 October 2012 10:23 |
The 2012 third quarter edition of the Investis IQ Rankings of corporate websites has accounted for a growth in the use of social media across the banking and finance sectors. One of the most startling revelations the rankings exposed was a trend among FTSE 100 companies integrating their Twitter feeds onto corporate websites. This accounted for a 22% increase since last year's survey. Investis sees this trend as an encouraging sign of digital communications integration. The IQ Rankings points to banking as one of the best sectors for social media integration with 65% of respondents embedding a social media channel on their own website. This trend sounds promising for the banking sector's engagement with its digital audience. However, most have had social channels in existence for over a year and have only recently integrated them into their overall communications strategies. The report cites a latecomer effect as one of the drivers toward the trend. RBS, the only bank in the top 20, jumped from 10th to sixth place since the 2011 report due to its informative social media channels. |

So Double r, how is the new job going? I hope your liking things, I was off tonite, took a birthday floater, Dianna bought me a new grill for my birthday, its a big ol sucker, we put it together tonite, it has a propane side, a charcoal side, a smoker box and a sear grill, I'm gonna put a propane burner in the smoker box to keep the wood lit so I don't have to babysit it with charcoal.
Let us know whats going on, I'm curious to hear about everything my friend!
Hi, I'm GT, and I'm just a number, of little to no value.
Yeah Double R, what gives?! He must be flying around in his new jet with all of the $$$ he's making!!!
LOL, you guys are funny.
GT, Happy Birthday.
Moneyman, that sucks. Anyway MB will take you back or do have another company in mind?
Pflash, you know it!
New job is going great. Less stress, know where most of the stops are already(some are even customers of my old place). First day was 9 hours, today, 8.5. It is up to us if we want to take a lunch or not. We take it, they take 30 minutes from us. If we don't take it, no big deal. Not use to that option, use to not having time to take one. Lot different working for and being an actually employee of a foodservice company. Lot easier, IMHO. Still learning the paperwork and computer in the truck. Don't need to learn anything else, already know how to unload and dig for boxes(nothing new, lol). Will be on my own next week, my drop yard partner is going on vacation, so I will run the route I'm training on and then I may be back with him for one more week well our supervisor is on vacation and then I will start my own route. He hasn't decided yet.
All in all, I do believe that I made a good decision. I know I'll be a lot happier.
Now, my old company, MAJOR PROBLEMS. Another good driver and friend of mine is done tomorrow(and no, we did not plan it that way like a certain person thinks, lol) Two other good drivers with years are about to walk, lol. The decline has begun, lol
I'm glad your liking your new job and that its going good so far. Yeah I have a few in mind. I would like to get on with Sysco Asian foods but there not hiring, I have a interview friday with a produce company, Us Foods and Core-Mark are looking for drivers and I applied. Tried going back to Dawn Foods but they wont because they said I didnt give them 2 weeks notice when I did but the manager took my last week away. I'm even looking at LTL and pop and beer companies. Basicly anything where I can start in the morning and be done in the afternoon.
Moneyman sorry to hear that about ur job...that martin brower and mclanes will take ur life away..I ve been there trust me I know thehe feeling but let's not make a hasty decision here freight is not steady been there...pop doesn't pay...go at us foods realy hard or wait on sysco asian foods and if u realy wanna be with ur son and I knw u do maybe u have to go to sysco mn but u want b happy with freight or pop trust me..
Ramprunner I left Martin Brower and went to Ruan to run target dedicated and it was a Huge mistake. They promised me Monday thru Friday and a Fargo run everyday. I didnt get none of it and I usually start at 3 pm and run tl midnight. The pay is horrible I'm averaging 14 a hr. One day I made 127 dollars for the day.
I was so pissed off one day I made a phone call to Apperts Foodservice where I use to work. There looking for 6 drivers. Unfortunately the manager was on vacation so I hope he calls me back. I do know they have some overnight routes open. There so desperate for drivers that my 2 friends that work there think I might be able to get what I want which is 2 overnight routes. it's a hour drive from my house so it would cut down on miles and gas. I would probably start around 17 a hour. Not the greatest but more then I'm making now.
I put my app in at US foods. I submitted at 1 am and when I checked my email at 7 am it was already rejected. I have no idea why. I called Asian Foods there still not hiring. They tell me there still interviewing and reviewing applications for future openings but they will give me a call when there is an opening and they are considering me. I hope they mean it and not just saying that to make me happy u know?
Ramprunner I cant remember are you from MN? Also I will never work for sysco MN. Bad idea especially now in the new contract all new drivers are to be hired as casuals making 14 a hr with no benefits. It could take a year to get benefits and be considered full time. Ive heard many many horror stories about that place. Martin Brower hired a driver from sysco and he told me some of them.
I am not from mn from ms I just remember posting when u were goin mb and I remeber posting about those companies with a extraboard I worked for mclanes for a while and it sucked..idk the situation at sysco mn but sysco without benefit for a yr may not b a bad thing..jus my opinion...one things for sure sysco will have work and lots of it
I need the benefits for my son and I wont do foodservice for 14 a hour again. I did that when I got my first driving job. 17 a hour is the lowest I will go and atleast if I go back to Apperts I will have my weekends off and a 4 day work week. Asian foods starts at 17.85 a hr but they also get paid by the case mile and stop. So you actually make more. I have no idea what to do. I liked it at MB but I just never seen my son. Ever since I left GFS I cant find anything I like and its really bothering me. I hope I find something soon.
Well Apperts hired me back right away. Be running an 2 day route up to ND. Go figure once I take the job I seen an ad for Asian Foods
