McDonald's Corp. (MCD:US), struggling to project a healthier image amid complaints about its high-calorie food, is having a hard time persuading customers to buy salads.
Even with such names as Bacon Ranch and Southwest with Crispy Chicken, salads make up 2 percent to 3 percent of U.S. restaurant sales, Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson said today at an investor conference. By contrast, the Dollar Menu generates 13 percent to 14 percent of sales, he said.
"I don't see salads as being a major growth driver in the near future," Thompson said at the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Strategic Decisions Conference in New York.
Instead of advertising salads, the company may push hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, said Thompson, who added that there are other ways to sell more fruits and vegetables. For example, some of the chain's new McWraps have tomato and cucumber slices, as well as shredded lettuce.
The world's largest restaurant chain is struggling to revamp its menu and draw customers from competitors after failing to introduce enough new products last year. McDonald's, which has about 14,100 U.S. locations, is also trying to introduce such lower-calorie options as egg-white sandwiches, as Americans try to eat healthier.
Burger King Worldwide Inc (BKW). recently started selling turkey and veggie burgers. Wendy's Co. is also pushing new and healthier items; today the company announced it's bringing back its 460-calorie berry almond chicken salad topped with strawberries and blueberries.
Axing Salads
McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, first added tossed salads to its U.S. menu in 1987. Bloomberg News reported earlier this month that the fast-food chain has considered getting rid of Caesar salads -- the variety with crispy chicken has 350 calories, compared with 600 calories for a Quarter Pounder with bacon and cheese. The company removed Fruit & Walnut salads from its menu this year.
David Palmer, an analyst at UBS AG in New York, today lowered his full-year profit forecast for McDonald's because of a "modestly worse" European consumer environment and greater foreign currency headwinds.
The shares fell 2.2 percent to $99.04 at 11:46 a.m. in New York, after declining as much as 2.9 percent for the biggest intraday drop since Oct. 19. The shares gained 15 percent this year through yesterday, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 16 percent.

The government of the tiny North Atlantic nation is drafting plans to ban pornography, in print and online, in an attempt to protect children from a tide of violent sexual imagery.

Robinson Crusoe - which was a boat trip to a gorgeous island where you can go snorkling. It cost around £25 and that was for the whole day plus lunch and wine/soft drinks. I would recommend this as it was great value for money and you get to experience another whit sandy beach with water so clear and warm. Snorkling here we spotted an octopus. Brill!!
Power Boats - Wow! Well the boat trip is a little uncomfortable especially if you are sitting in the front. This trip takes you to an island where you can feed Iguanas. They were all wild and so cute. You stay here for around 15 mins and then back on the boat to another fantastic island. Here you see a wild Hog that lives on the island - be careful of your towels, he loves to sit on them!! You get the oportunity to feed huge sting rays and even sharks! Yep, Nursing sharks, Lemon sharks and Reef sharks. They come about 1 metre away from you in the water. Adrenaline was pumping as you can imagine. Also here you have a lovely lunch and get to go snorkeling in the sea with the sharks. Everyone we had spoken to thought this was a great experience and i would recommend 100%.
Atlantis - Just a must do. Where in the world do you see such a fantastic place? You couldn't get bored here it is just amazing.
Well, i hope this helps in you desision to go to the Bahamas & to the RIU. I have mentioned my favourite times we had there but all in all we had such a great time & I would return to the same place.

Top Local Tips for Paradise Island
Pirate Museum Check out the pirate museum in downtown Nassau its about $20 for two people, and its cute. Its not very busy, and it's air conditioned! but it gives you a more cultural history on pirates than Pirates of the Caribbean does. :) Check out the Dig, in the Atlantis, at night its free. Lots of fishies to look at in there. try to see the "Junkaroo" in Marina Village it is a beautiful Bohemian culture festival, awesome. If you decide to take the Ferry anywhere, be careful, if you see too many people loading onto the boat, get off, your safety comes first. We rode the Ferry back from downtown and it started to sink in the middle of the ride, due to the weight load being too much. They had to have another boat come out and transfer us off, as we were riding away, the boat started to go down...just made it! we were close enough to swim to shore, but if you're not a good swimmer...watch out, and of course we had digital cameras and such with us that would be a significant bummer.
Take a taxi to town Do not take the ferry. It will be only a little cheaper than taxi but you have to walk to the ferry and it is a long walk.
Don't drink or brush teeth with the hotel water!!! The hotel water is not safe for drinking / brushing your teeth. They do provide free gallon bottles of water at the front desk.

Kelly Clarkson Summer Tour Delayed, Changedby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
This is far from a good sign for Kelly Clarkson and her fans: her summer tour has been re-scheduled.
"Plans for Kelly Clarkson's summer tour have been shelved for now as the singer and her team re-evaluate her show's size and scope – a decision made even more difficult by the impending release of her album, My December," Paul Freundlich said in a statement.
Fortunately, ticket holders can get refunds at the point of purchase and will be notified of future concert dates once they are scheduled. But this isn't what Clarkson and her followers wish to hear. She can't sell out a stadium?!?
The new dates may well take place at smaller venues than originally planned.
Gregg Perloff, CEO of Another Planet Entertainment, said: "The day when [Kelly] will play in sold-out arenas is, no doubt, coming, but for now her fans should look forward to seeing her in a more intimate concert environment."
This has been a tumultuous week for the 2002 American Idol winner, who on Tuesday parted with her manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of the Los Angeles-based company The Firm.
My December – the first album she co-produced and wrote entirely – is set for release June 25, but it has already made headlines, thanks to a well-publicized clash between Clarkson and her label chief, Clive Davis.
Among other things, Clarkson complained that label execs asked her to cover a Lindsay Lohan song.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: American Idol
Kelly Will make it through this!! Since yesterdays news her Myspace page views and music listening has trippled!!! (www.myspace.com/kellyclarkson) so the fans still love her!! She will someday sell out big arenas, but hey i could care less where i see her perform!! She is a strong, loved, and talented artist! Life is not suppose to always be easy!! She still remains one of the most humble, and real artist in the world, and an Amazing voice to match!!! Go Kelly!! Sincerely,
Chicago's #1 Kelly Clarson Fan

How on Monday 12435 and 12423 run? I mean they have like 1 hour time separation. But today, from the morning I'm seeing both trains on Simran to be sometimes at same place, same speed, same update time. How is this possible?

Its possible, after a close study of simran.in I have found that they update data from GSM/GPRS (where WIFI not avilable) sources and it could be possible that both trains transmitting data at same time but may be running back to back. This happens a lot between 2424, 2436 & 2236 while approaching NJP from both side.

JW-land is now bigger than Switzerland!

I notice the latest Yearbook was making a big think about JWs being more populous than the country of Switzerland. JWs have overtaken a number of small countries in recent years, such as Norway, Denmark, Israel, El Salvador, Finland, Georgia, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
They will be overtaking places like Austria, Portugal, Belgium and Greece next.
If you count memorial attenders then they are already bigger than medium sized countries like Chile.

Yeah and there are more Mormons than the population of Uzbekistan.
There are more Catholics than the population of Peru.
There are more left-handed nose-pickers than the population of Toronto.
Not sure what the point of the OP is.

The point is that JWs are obsessed with numbers and believe that this is all a sign of the last days, God's approval and blessing, and the their rich spiritual heritage.

Pentacostals are the fastest growing religion in Christianity.
There are over 2 billion Christians and 1 billion Muslims worldwide.
Jehovah's Witnesses are claiming 7 million members
which is less than 1% of the world's population and
less than the population of Los Angeles County.
There are over 8 million people in New York City

JW numbers are insignificant.

Austria- Roman Catholic 73.6 % Protestant 4.7%
Muslim 4.2 % "Other" = 3.5% ( includes JW's)
USA populaton 315,091,138 million
JW's in USA = 1.2 million or 0.38 % (thats point 38)
in other words they would have to almost double or
TRIPLE their numbers to be 1%. in the USA.
In Austria they would have to be 25 times more
than they are now to equal Catholics.

Jehovah's Witnesses are claiming 7 million members which is less than 1% of the world's population.
Actually 7,000,000,000 x 0.01 = 70,000,000. 70 million would be 1% of the world population.
7 million is actually only 1/10 of 1%.

Pfft. Imagine a countrly like Switzerland populated almost entirely by undereducated residents. I know lots of JWs that would neither hire nor work for other JWs.
What kind of a country would JWs produce? The way WT is selling off Brooklyn real estate and foreign branches, the "WT Switzerland" would be slowly selling their land to Germany. And the rate that I've seen JW kids leave the religion and get demonized for getting "higher education", only to be replaced by new "Bible students" with mental and emotional problems, I'm sure "WT Switzerland" would see a continuous "brain drain" and wouldn't be able to prove any education higher than the kids reading "My Book of Bible Stories". And judging by the contents of the elders manual, "JW Switzerland" would find themselves criticized by their neighbors for their crappy laws that let pedophiles run free if they "act repentant".

Good points, Billy.
This made me think of an observation I made while still in. The new ones are all very vulnerable people. Most of them had mental or physical problems. We didn't see any college professors, doctors, lawyers, etc. coming in, even though our hall was located in a highly educated urban community with a big ten school right in the territory.

I stand corrected , 1/10 th of 1% = JW numbers WORLDWIDE in 2013
But I was speaking of the USA population of 315.1 million with
1.2 million JW's in the USA. So whats that ? .38 which is ??
( WHAT Great Crowd?? It doesn't exist. )
I am no mathematician thats for sure, but anybody with a calculator
and some google searches on demographics
can see JW's are a grain of sand on this beach
and completely without power or purpose or deeds.
ALL of Switzerland has less people in it than New York City
Religion in Switzerland: the Swiss breakdown is Catholics 41%
Protestants 35 % Muslims 4 % Orthodox 1.8% Other 1%(jw's)
no religion at all 11 % So how are JW's "taking over" ???
Switzerland has a population of 7 million in the entire country.
The statistics are: every hour 8.4 people are born in Switzerland
and every hour 7.7 people DIE in Switzerland.
Current Swiss population 7,733,544 - oops somebody just died.

I think what the WT is trying to do is copare the 7 million JW's
to the 7 million people in Hong Kong and the 7 million people
in Switzerland these are locations with a 7 million population.
But the comparison is meaningless , since these places all have
very few JW's. Its typical WT double-speak.

The Art of Feedback
by Femke Goedhart, Business Consultant, Silverside
I got some really valuable feedback lately about some of the blogging I've been doing, and it has showed me once more how important it is to ask for, and get feedback when blogging. Blogging can be quite a lonely process and re-evaluating your efforts now and then can help you keep your focus straight and reassure you that you are on the right path. Most importantly though, it can give you some valuable insights into what the effect of your blogging really is.
Feedback can come in many forms, from public comments, to fleeting remarks, to mentions or referrals from other blogs, to private conversations. Anything that others have to say or do regarding previous posts that will get you to re-evaluate, learn, or improve on your future blogs is in fact a form of feedback. And although getting feedback can be scary (it isn't necessarily always the feedback you were hoping for) you should still cherish those who give it to you, because giving feedback can actually be just as daunting as receiving it is.
Now I'm no feedback expert and there are more than enough articles and blogs around to discuss the techniques for giving feedback. But truth is most of us get or give feedback on a regular basis without ever having read those, and with the rise of social business, that is only going to increase. It's not that hard but there are things to keep in mind, especially with giving feedback on blogging because blogging in general is about expressing opinions and experiences and can therefore be very personal.
Oh my…. they want to know what I think: Giving feedback
Giving feedback can be daunting. Especially when asked. The important thing though is to keep it all in perspective.
Here it comes…buckle up: Getting feedback
So, when you get the courage to ask some people for their feedback or receive some spontaneous feedback, what do have to keep in mind?
But most important of all and applicable to both feedback givers as well as receivers: Be respectful.
Recognize the effort the other is making and realize how you would feel in their shoes. That way, it can be a great and rewarding process for both.

What We Do Every Day
A Sweetheart Found Limping & Dirty
Magnolia: Sweet Magnolia was discovered as a new kitty at one of our feral cat feeding stations. She was dirty, limping and her beautiful long hair was matted so bad-most had be shaved off. She was trapped and turned out to be a real sweetheart-someone must have dropped her, just leaving her to fend for herself. The limp is no break (good news) and now she rests at our adoption center-hoping for a loving home.

"art is not life, nor a reproduction of life, but a representation
carried out within the specific terms, conversions and limitations
of the particular art used. hence absolute truth, with reference
to objective fact, is not to be found in the business. the
most realistic art is considerablely removed from reality.
art does not give real things or imitations of real things.
the thing that art gives is strained first through the artist's
selections and judgments, and then through the specific techniques
with he used to present them. if you are to enjoy an art,
you must first accept its terms."

by your enemy. i you look at it to admire it, you are lost."
samuel butler
consider the late great english painter, francis bacon. he
once told an interviewer that each of his paintings would
only start to come together when he got disgusted with how
bad it was, which would cause him to start throwing paint
at the thing in despair.
"a new idea is delicate. it can be killed by a sneer
or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried
to death by a frown on the right person's brow."

already there. did you know that right and left shoes were
thought up only a little more than a century ago?"
bernice fitz-gibbon
"any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about
doing it right or better."
john updike
"without aesthetic, design is either the humdrum repetition
of familiar clichés or a wild scramble for novelty.
without the aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed
machine, producing effects without substance. form without
relevant content, or content without meaningful form."
paul rand

something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity
of complete fools."

p.l. travers, the author of mary poppins books, put it best
when she wrote, "you do not chop off a section of your
imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children,
for if you are honest you have no idea where
childhood ends and maturity beings. it is all endless and
all one."
"the real issue is not talent as an independent element,
but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence.
talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent
with those characteristics grows."

her intelligence if you assume that a mere slogan and a few
vapid adjectives will persuade her to buy anything."

"i am still learning."
"the designer does not, as a rule, begin with a preconceived
idea. his idea is the result of subjective and objective thought,
and the design a product of the idea. in order, therefore,
to achieve an honest and effective solution he necessarily
passes thought some sort of mental process ... consciously
or not, he analyzes, interprets, translates ... he improvises,
invents new techniques and combinations. he coordinates and
integrates his material so that he may restate his problem
in terms of ideas, pictures, forms, and shapes. he unifies,
simplifies, eliminates superfluities. he symbolizes ... abstract
from his material by association and analogy. he intensifies
and reinforces his symbol with appropriate accessories to
achieve clarity and interest. he draws upon instinct and intuition.
he considers the spectator, his feelings and predilections."
paul rand
our educational system doesn't have exclusive rights on the
guilt and anxiety associated with learning. learning inherently
involves some trauma; it requires a certain amount of exertion
and implies giving up one way of thinking for another.
richard saul wurman
the role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention
rather than provide ready-made knowledge.

"everything reverberates: thoughts on design"
"if you have ideas and imagery, technique will follow."
picasso was in a park when a woman approached him and asked
him to draw a portrait of her. picasso agreed and quickly
sketches her. after handing the sketch to her, she is pleased
with the likeness and asks how much she owed to him. picasso
replies: "$5,000."
the woman screamed, "but
it took you only five minutes."
"no, madam, it took me
all my life," replied picasso.

"one must seek solutions that are engaging and demanding
"creation implies self-creation; the making of an aesthetic
object implies the generation of the artist."
"harmony is the grandest artistic aim."
"modern french painting is all right; it has produced
many beautiful and interesting things, fully worthy of admiration,
but it has also set up response habits among our artistic
authorities which have worked against a free approach to other
artistic forms. these habits, objectified in numerous critical
and appreciative essays, have crystallized into standards
which, while they may be effective momentarily for the french
painting responsible for them, have little or no validity
when applied to other kinds."
thomas hart benton
"art gives voice to that which has not been spoken."
"the secret of all effective advertising is not the creation
of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar
words and pictures into new relationships."
leo burnett
"an image ... is not simply a trademark, a design, a
slogan or an easily remembered picture. it is a studiously
crafted personality profile of an individual, institution,
corporation, product or service."
daniel boorstin
"there is an urgent need to examine old opinions and
look at things from a new viewpoint. there must be an increase
in the joy one takes in an object, and the photographer should
become fully conscious of the splendid fidelity of reproduction
made possible by his technique. 'nature, after all, is not
so poor that she requires constant improvement.'"

ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only
a wisp of smoke."
vincent van gogh
"the most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself,
to express what you have to. as an artist, i feel that we
must try many things but above all we must dare to
fail. you must be willing to risk everything to really express
it all."

with new solutions."

"it takes a long time to become young."
pablo picasso
"it's unwise to pay too much, but is worse to pay too little.
when you pay too much, you lose a little - that is all. when
you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because
the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was
bought to do. the common law of business balance prohibits
paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done! if you
deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for
the risk you run. and if you do that, you will have enough
to pay for something better."

born to do things in which other men have failed. those men

in the later hours of the night, when the hum of the city
is hushed in the stillness and the winds are dead, and thought

has experienced youth. big deal. the most special thing about
that is surviving it. but give me someone who practices the

i can see beauty where others see ugliness. that either makes
me an artist, or a person of very poor taste.
what is success? to laugh often and much; to win the respect
of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn
the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal
of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy
child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know
even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
that is to have succeeded.

Excellent, modern spacious, very good accommodation
This place is very difficult to find. Walk up the hill from the main coast street and go past the stadium. First right after the stadium with a little cafe and shop on the corner. Go into a run down street to the rear of the stadium bear right then left up an unmade road to the side of the bus repair building with a derelict house on your left. You can see the sign for the apartments in front of you. They are a 10minute walk from town but out of the way. But the place is well worth the hunt to find it.
Clean facilities, modern furniture, friendly staff, working wifi.
The dirt road in front of this property was the only minus.
nice owners, spacious rooms,
localization - not nice surrounding, , not well equiped kitchen, not cleaned floor every day
Apartment is great, they changed towels very often, kitchen is hudge, perfect place to stay.
The apartments were spacious, new, modern, and very nice. Air conditioning worked great. Overall the facilities and cleanliness were awesome.
The apartments have a nice balcony, although the view is of abandoned buildings below. There was also a lot of noise beside us due to construction. The owner was very friendly, but unfortunately she spoke very little English, so communication was an issue. Also, as I was relaxing on the balcony the first morning we were there, the police came to the building. Several officers were there for a couple hours, and it sounded like they were arguing with the owner. I have no idea what it was all about, but it gave us an uncomfortable feeling the rest of our stay.
Good beds. Big apartment and nice balcony. Great and totally new kitchen. Amazed to find "cozy light lamps" the first time in albania. Big super market within 500 m.
Very bad road leading up to the house, only dirt. It seems it. is in the process of being fixed. The area is a bit spooky, but we walked without problems at all hours. Missing reading light by the bed and supplies for washing the dishes.
The landlady and her son were very nice. Very clean, quiet, close to the city centre. A bit difficult to find the location, but the locals are very friendly and helpful.
Very well equiped and spacious apartments Nice and friendly staff Comfortable Grocery and other shops are near by Fully equipped kichen Closed private parking
A bit difficult to reach Not so close to the beach
It was great to have an entire apartment for a week long visit to the city. The staff kept the place spotless and did what needed to be done quickly and unobtrusively. The apartments are very modern and tastefully decorated. If we return to Saranda we will stay here again. There are food stores within a five minute walk of the apartments. The parking worked out great.We had looked at beachfront hotels and having been there, I'm glad we didn't choose one, mainly because of driving and parking in town. The location isn't the best but hopefully it is getting better. I never felt unsafe, even when walking through the area after dark.
My only complaint would be to finish the apartment. All of the ceiling lighting fixtures were hanging bulbs. This really takes away from what would otherwise be a perfect place to stay. Better heat in the bathroom would have been nice, but I believe the apartments are geared more towards summer rentals.That being said, when we needed air conditioning or heat, the rest of the apartment had perfectl climate controll.
Superb high quality standard. Beautifully designed. Spotlessly clean. Spacious, quiet, comfortable, every detail thought of. Very clean each day, fresh towels, little thoughtful touches, a luxurious home from home. The family were very kind and thought of our every need. They were tactful and non-intrusive, yet there if we needed them, and ready to do anything at all for us. Exceptionally kind people and exceptionally high standard.
The streets outside were full of litter and badly made up road, but this is not the fault of the owners.

I really like this trend. Now that unnatural colored hair is more acceptable, less on the fringe, the pale pastel hair color look can be done with little to no ostrisization by the public. Stars like Kelly Osbourne and Katie Perry have been rocking this look lately. I predict next Spring it will be even more everywhere. As I have been working on these posts thru the summer, more and more images are popping up online and in magazines with this these haircolors.
When hair turns grey with age and you are surrounded by cigarette smoke, as was often the case in the mid-century, your hair could quickly turn yellow. Blue and lavender toner is used to counteract this yellow. These toners also fade after a few washes, so it is common, for the initial application, to make the toner a little darker to make it last longer. Sometimes people went a little too dark. And sometimes they went a little too dark on purpose.
The truth is this pastel hair color look was worn by women as far back as the 1930s. In New York, an older society woman who was also an interior decorator and all around creative person made the pastel color hair trend popular by overly toning her grey hair and it caught on quickly with her older society friends. The pastel color was not always an accident as some people may think.
In this vintage advertisement for Lapinal Creme Hair Color, colors include white pink, blonde pink, tickled pink, and tickled pinker.
Pastel hair color options could include pink, lavender, blue and sometimes even yellow. The color wasn't a rebellion either. Although the women wearing it were a bit eccentric, it was actually considered very high fashion and European to wear your hair this way.
In my never ending quest to make myself insane, I decided to do a little experimentation with this new/old hair trend and see what options were available today to get this beautiful look. Stay tuned over the next few days as I upload my experiments in hopes of passing on to you how you can get my new favorite old hairstyle trend.
If you are just starting here because of a google search, I would suggest going back and reading all the entries labeled Pastel Hair by clicking here http://bobbypinblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Pastel%20Hair. This is only one in a series of blog entries about experimenting with vintage pastel hair color looks and there may be something useful in another one of the entries or comments that you need to know before you begin.

For those of you looking for your usual Saturday Cup of Joe you'll have to wait another week. You see, Joe's a pretty busy guy and I am filling in for him so he can have a little R & R for the 4th of July weekend following his usual busy work week. As the managing editor of Marketing Pilgrim, I have to be careful not to let my thoroughbreds run too hard without some rest :-).
So you're stuck with me today and if you made it this far I hope you will stick around for the rest. I promise I will stay on point and keep it short.

Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in the U.S. Navy, 1980s - 1990s
Asian and Pacific Islander Americans made great strides in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, as more officers attained flag rank. In 1980, Ming Chang was promoted to Rear Admiral. He is believed to be the first naturalized Asian-American to achieve flag rank. For his last tour in 1990, he served as Inspector General of the Navy. Another successful Asian and Pacific Islander American is Captain Tem. Bugarin, USN, who became the first Filipino to assume command of a surface ship, USS Sagina (LST-1188) in August 1989. During this period, Vice-Admiral Robert K. U. Kihune was promoted and became the first Hawaiian to achieve that rank.
