UNDERSTANDING CONTRACT FARMING IN INDIA: MODELS AND LEARNINGS Sukhpal Singh CMA IIM Ahmedabad 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 1 Understanding CF There is so much diversity in the type of firms, farmers, nature of contracts, crops, and socio-economic environment that it is better to focus on specific situation than the generic institution of contract farming. The context of the contract is important as many contextual factors and actors influence the working and outcome of a contract system. And, there is no single model suitable for all conditions but a series of alternatives. 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 2 Indian Experience of CF • Different Models across regions, agencies and crops • Role of state- direct and indirect 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 3 Centralised model - private sector agencies (many-2 examples) Company Supply of produce Supply of inputs Farmer on credit Fig.1: Bi-partite CF model 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 4 Company Payment Bank Payment for inputs Supply of produce Credit and Payment after Supply of inputs on credit Farmer/AoF deduction of dues /Cooperativ (in some cases) e Fig 2: Tri-partite CF model 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 5 Out-grower scheme/model Government sponsored/public sector or joint venture projects NDDB's F&V project (Safal) Agrocel, Kutch (organic cotton and sesame project) 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 6 Multi-partite arrangement where state, private firms, and national/international development agencies are involved CF in Punjab 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 7 State Input supply & payment for produce (PAIC) Produce Payment Produce MoU Farmer Payment Company for service Input Extension Company/ies Fig 3: State-led contract farming system in Punjab 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 8 Direct Farmer Extension co./buying Machines co./PAFC and equipment PAFC Reimbursement of extension fee, waiver of purchase taxes, and approval of CF Fig 4: State-led contract farming system in Punjab (revised model) 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 9 Nucleus–Out-grower Model Captive (corporate) farming and contract farming both • Ion exchange, Pune (organic farming) • Satluj Organics, New Delhi 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 10 Intermediary model (middleman/broker/facilitator) • Most of the seed companies • Pepsi in Mah/Kar/MP for potatoes • Fabindia in textiles and organic food (With a Difference: 700 groups (7500 artisans) across 20 states in India • Many companies in Punjab/Haryana including organic • Most predominant model inThailand 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 11 Farmer selection & documentation Bank Payment for produce Agri input Payment P Compan for inputs a Processor/ y/Broker y Marketer m e n Supply of inputs t Farmer Produce supply under agreement Fig 5: The Quad-partite CF model 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 12 Fig 6: The six-partite (networking) CF model Farmer selection & documentation under Bank Payment for c agreement produce Agri input cos. o under n agreement t Franchisee r Payment P a for inputs a Processor/ c Marketer y t Supply of inputs/extension m for a fee e contract n Agri input co./ agreement facilitator t agreement Subfranchisee Farmer agreement Produce supply under agreement PAFC 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 13 Fig. 7: Tri-partite (Intermediary) model of contract farming Contract production organization, supply of Local company seed (with Middlema Grower part advance payment n/Facilitat by grower), extension, Farmer and input credit under or/ selection, agreement with no productio package of liability on company n practices, organiser payment for Farmer produce (thru adoption and bank* to tripartite Procurement farmer and agreements, at fixed or facilitator), and procurement mkt. linked supervision , & local price, under quality lab Seed supply, payment of grading & agreement mgt. under commission for extension, quality agreement procurement & seed testing of Supply of produce produce by through facilitator distribution services under facilitator under tripartite agreement & agreement with no reimbursement of liability on company Company seed/other costs & seed for any loss replacement Company Collection Centre/ Factory * Bank finances contract production @ Rs. 10,000/acre (NABARD norm is Rs. 13,000/acre for potato) at 7.5% rate of interest. It receives the money from the company for payment to the farmer for his produce, from which it pays the facilitator (as per the authorization given by the grower), deducts its own dues, and transfers the remaining amount in the farmer's bank account. 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 14 Is it Contract Farming? • Bharti's Fieldfresh model • Satluj Agriculture • Nijjer, • Potato Kings in Jalandhar, and even • State's Council for Agro and Fruit Juicing- on leased land (CAJP Leases land @8-12,000/ acre for 12 years from farmers under two options (20% increase in rent every 3 years OR 2% increase for 6 years and then 50:50 sharing of fruit profits), minimum 10 acres) 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 15 Emerging Model of CF in India Intermediary model due to the transactions cost logic and competitive national and international food/fibre markets where cost and quality will determine success. It is already being practiced in different forms by many CF agencies. But, the exclusion of small farmers will remain an issue. Movement from acreage to quantity contracts 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 16 Indian Experience of CF • Default by companies and farmers (Moral Hazard problem) • High transaction cost of dealing with small farmers • Farmer level performance – higher returns but also higher cost, undue quality cuts, delayed deliveries and payments, low price ('agribusiness normalisation'), poor extension, and seed/crop failures 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 17 Indian Experience of CF • Farmer's production risk not shared • Prices based on open market prices, including for organic produce (even market risk not shared!). Issue of what is fair price for the primary grower remains as there is little transparency in pricing and costing of operations • Monopsonistic situation faced by the growers • Biased contracts • Penalties for failure to meet contract terms • Business ethics/commitment - withdraw/ move away after exhausting potential 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 18 Larger Impacts of CF • Small farmer exclusion (due to admission criteria) e.g. MARKFED, and NESTLE • Nestle follows two types of contracts- direct legal with large farmers with more than 25 animals and indirect (through agents with legal contracts) for small farmers with a few cattle/buffalo only. The latter mode dominates procurement. • Employment increase but sustainability (mechanisation) and gender and child labour issues • Ecological sustainability – perpetuation of chemical input intensity, except when organic/export market driven • Socio-economic differentiation – perpetuation of 'reverse tenancy' 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 19 Contract farmed mint being harvested with hired labour in a Punjab village for delivery to A M Todd & Co's extraction unit nearby 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 20 An infant in a cradle and another child on watch while the mother attends tomato harvesting in a contract farm 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 21 Lessons for CF Agencies • Is there enough rationale (market failure)? • Crops suitable for small farmer CF - short duration, labour intensive, not high cost • Fixed price or Pricing options, not market price based price • Marketing extension: Market information, Product planning, Accessing markets, Alternative markets, Market orientation • Better co-operation/co-ordination between companies and co- operatives 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 22 Lessons for CF Agencies • Transfer some of the operational or functional responsibilities like distribution of inputs, equipment orders, and credit repayment management, to the grower bodies (Spencers' example) • Build trust by: Fair contracts, crop insurance (Pepsi with Agril Insurance Co and Gherkin firms with New India Assurance Co), and remunerative prices or lower costs. Equity Shares to contract growers? 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 23 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 24 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 25 Designing a Workable Contract Co-ordination, Motivation and Transaction costs are three pillars of a contract arrangement • (i) co-ordinating to minimize production costs which means using price signals or instructions or both, • (ii) balancing decentralization and centralisation in farm decisions which impacts problems like moral hazard and hold up, • (iii) minimizing or sharing risk and uncertainty, • (iv) reducing the costs of post contractual opportunism (Moral hazard) by various mechanisms of monitoring contracts like other party bears part of the cost, Social pressure, Incentive structure, and Group contract/incentives 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 26 Designing a Workable Contract • (V) Reducing the cost of pre-contractual opportunism (Adverse selection) by Rationing i.e. offer a contract suited only for some 'good' farmers; 'Menu of contracts' for screening farmers so that they reveal their true type by choosing certain contracts; Group contracts, and Individual risk rating/information collection before contract is signed • (vi) Do Not Kill Co-operation: encouraging group or co- operative action among producers to lower costs and ensure better compliance, • (vii) Motivate Long term Contracts to reduce hold up problem • (viii) balancing pros and cons of renegotiation of contracts over time, • (ix) reducing direct costs of contracting, and • (X) using transparent contracts 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 27 THANKS 10/30/2008 SS/CMA/IIMA 28

Bing Adds Video Home Page To Welcome Fall Season
On Bing.com today you will find a nice smooth HTML5 enabled video background theme for the first day of fall. The video is of the Grand Teton National Park over a period of time, speed up, obviously.
Here is a video screen cast of the Bing home page:
We know Bing has been testing HTML5 interfaces for their search engines and I think anyone with an HTML5 supported browser should be able to see the video home page today on Bing US.
Amit Agarwal notes the video is a 13-second long video file that is 1.9MB, and shared the link to the original MP4 video file.
I think this is pretty cool? What do you think?
Meanwhile, Google, Yahoo, Ask.com and Dogpile do not have any logo for the first day of fall.

This park was excellent. The young lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. They have a new spa which we were looking forward to but the weather made us change our minds. Very quiet. Good night's sleep, level site, good utility hook up. We stayed overnight in a motor home. Would stay here again.

Hi: 7° Lo:2°
TESTS for horse meat in school meals across Worcestershire have so far proved negative.
Worcestershire County Council's Scientific Services took the decision earlier this week to test samples from a number of primary and secondary schools across the county in a bid to reassure parents. It followed the discovery of horse meat in cottage pies destined for schools in Lancashire.
The full results are not expected until next week but of the eight samples tested so far none have been found to contain horse DNA.
Paul Hancock, the council's public analyst and scientific advisor for scientific services, added: "We are one of a small number of local authorities across the country who have a specialist scientific testing facility and we feel it is appropriate that, in light of the recent horse meat issues we should conduct these food tests both to re-assure parents and to help schools ensure that the meals they provide are of the required standard."
The service is one of only 14 in the country and is currently experiencing high demand due to the scandal.
But so far no samples specific to Worcestershire food businesses have been found to contain meat other than that specified on their labelling.
A spokeswoman for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said they had contacted their suppliers who had confirmed they did not receive any materials from companies so far named in the horse meat scandal.

Yes, in short your condition can get better or worsten depending on how u treat ur condition. That said the solution is to exercise,eat a balanced diet of protiens,low to moderate fats&ur carbohydrate intake should be taken from non sugar sources&a moderatly low intake. Check out a glycemic index on foods so u can utilize ur carbo intake appropriately. Meaning if u eat bread make it a whole grain,or wheat bread,but try to stay away from bread, pastas, sugars,ect. As much as possible,at least!!! Stay away from all instant foods bc ur body will break down the carbohydrates at a much faster rate& ur blood sugar will be high. Oatmeal's a great carb,sweet potato,white rice, baked potato. This said watch the amount of carbs u ingest bc that will also have an impact on ur blood sugar levels.

I have no idea what effect, if any, Bactrim has on blood sugar. However, neither of the previous folks addressed the question you wrote in your headline. There is NO way for Type 2 diabetes to turn into Type 1 diabetes. They have two different, distinct causes.
I don't actually understand why you would ask about Bactrim's effect on blood sugar in the same place that you ask about one type of diabetes turning into another. One question has nothing to do with the other. But to answer the diabetes question, no, if you have type 2 it cannot turn into type 1.
7 Feb 2012
I am assuming that you have an infection as this is why you are taking Bactrim. If this is correct, you may have a temporary increase in blood sugar due to your illness. When you recover from your infection, it is quite possible that your blood sugar will return to normal with your Janumet. If your blood sugar goes too high due to the infection, you should seek immediate medical attention. Hope this answer is helpful to you.

A great route that can be climbed in one long and sustained pitch. The route is reached via the first pitch of The Hustler. 1) 5a, 20m. As for The Hustler. 2) 5a, 23m. From the belay, move back right above your previous line to reach a small right-facing flake. Climb this more or less direct to a ledge and belay. 3) 5b, 20m. Move up into the left-hand crack, and when this gets hard, span out to the right crack, and start using a combination of both to gain the steeper section where the cracks join. Hurry up this, fighting the growing pump to reach the top of the wall and belay back on spikes. It is possible to link pitches 2 and 3 into one mega-sustained pitch. 4) 30m.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I got the Infantino Front to Back backpack after getting frustrated at the backpack I already had. I didn't think I wanted another Infantino brand, since I didn't like the first one I had. It was Horrible. But as I started researching (and I researched a lot) I realized that I had an older model and all the new ones had some fabulous improvements! I was hesitant to buy this backpack because I didn't find many reviews on it but I'm glad I did end up picking this one! My little girl loves riding in the backpack and it makes grocery shopping MUCH easier, especially since she was too young to sit up by herself and I couldn't put her in the cart. I even liked putting her in, facing my chest, so that she could fall asleep which she often does. I am a short person (only 5 feet tall) and pretty busty (and my little bundle is pretty long) but I can still see over her head no matter which way she is facing and I don't feel like she is being smothered in my chest. The straps on this backpack are the most comfortable ones that I've tried. (Yes, I went to Walmart and Target one day and left my daughter at home and tried on ALL the backpacks.) The strap for your lower back support is a wonderful feature since I have back problems. This backpack is a terrific buy for only $30!!!

Conn. AG pressures AT & T to get franchise license
Following a Connecticut court decision that U-Verse is indeed a cable service, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is moving to force AT&T to apply for a statewide franchise license, according to several press reports.
Blumenthal has filed an emergency petition urging Connecticut's Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) to order AT&T to acquire a cable franchise for U-verse IPTV. His petition claims that a recent U.S. District Court ruling that IPTV is cable television nullifies changes to state law weakening regulation of cable television.
If the DPUC agrees, AT&T would have to stop signing up IPTV customers until it secures a statewide license.
Also, because AT&T's operating area includes most of the state, Blumenthal is also trying to get the DPUC to force AT&T to provide U-Verse across the state.
So far, U-Verse has touched down in neighborhoods, but has covered few, if any, single cities in their entirety, let alone an area the size of even a small state.

Celebrate National Arbor Day by planting trees
• Get 10 free shade trees when you join the Arbor Day Foundation
Staff Report
National Arbor Day is April 27 this year, and the best way to celebrate is by planting trees. The Arbor Day Foundation is making it easy for everyone to celebrate the tree planters' holiday. Everyone who joins the Foundation in April will receive 10 free shade trees.
National Arbor Day and Illinois' Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April, which is April 27 this year.
By joining the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation in April, you will receive the following trees: red oak, sugar maple, weeping willow, bald cypress, thornless honey locust, pin oak, river birch, tulip tree, silver maple and red maple. The free trees are part of the Foundation's Trees for America campaign.
"These trees will provide shade in the summer and magnificent color throughout the fall," said John Rosenow, chief executive officer and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. "By the simple act of planting trees, a person can make a positive impact on the Earth and a deep, meaningful connection to nature. When you plant a tree, you're giving a gift for future generations."
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting in April or May with enclosed planting instructions. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge.
To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Shade Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, by April 30, 2012, or visit arborday.org/April.

Democratic U.S. Representative Joe Sestak has pulled within two percentage points of former Republican Representative Pat Toomey in the race for a U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania, after trailing by seven points a month ago, a poll released today shows.
If the vote were held today, the Quinnipiac University poll shows that 46 percent of likely voters would support Sestak and 48 percent would back Toomey -- within the three-percentage- point margin of error. That makes the race "a statistical dead heat," according to a statement accompanying the results. A Sept. 22 Quinnipiac poll showed Toomey ahead 50-43 percent.
"Pennsylvania is a blue state and Democrats there have begun to come home," Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute in Hamden, Connecticut, said in a statement, referring to the state's frequent preference for Democrats. "Democrats often engage later in the campaign than do Republicans."
Sestak and Toomey are vying to fill the seat of Arlen Specter, the 80-year-old Republican-turned-Democrat who in the May 2010 primary failed to win his new party's nomination to hold the seat. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race a "tossup." Republicans need a net gain of 10 seats to take control of the Senate from Democrats.
Toomey, 48, is a former three-term representative from the Lehigh Valley. He lost to Specter, who switched parties in 2009, in the 2004 Republican Senate primary. Sestak, 58, is in his second term representing a House district in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Obama Approval
President Barack Obama's approval rating in the state has improved and that may be aiding his party, Brown said, although he noted that it remained "decidedly negative."
Obama's approval rating in the current survey rose to 44 percent from 40 percent in Quinnipiac's Sept. 22 survey, and the percentage of voters who thought he wasn't doing a good job as president fell to 53 percent from 56 percent, according to the statement.
Sestak is favored by 53 percent of likely female voters, compared with 41 percent for Toomey. The likely male voters surveyed support Toomey over Sestak, 54-40 percent.
Just over half of the voters surveyed -- 51 percent -- say they want their new U.S. senator to oppose, rather than support, Obama's policies. Forty-five percent of respondents say they want Republicans to control the U.S. Senate next year, while 38 percent back Democratic control, the survey reported.
"There is still a mood in the likely Pennsylvania electorate for change, which appears more likely to help Toomey than Sestak," Brown said. "Among the 33 percent of likely voters who say they are angry with the federal government, Toomey leads 77-17 percent."
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,046 likely voters in Pennsylvania from Oct. 13-17. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.

He sees tremendous volatility associated with the price of oil, even though pipeline companies like this don't have direct commodity risks. Oil still has to get the refineries. People still have to heat their homes. That is not going to stop even if oil goes down to $30 a barrel. When these companies are being sold off, look at it as a buying opportunity. Tweet finance |

DRIP programs? You sometimes get incentives to take these with a little bit of extra percentages. He prefers to take all of his dividends in cash. It is a way for him to reallocate funds. However, for most investors, a DRIP is a decent way to stay invested and get the compounding effect going. This company is one of those companies that offer the DRIP. A great company and has owned it in the past. A little bit more exposed to oil and oil sands projects then some of their peers, but by and large, their customers are going to stay in business, so the volumes will be there to transport.

2014-12-29 | PAST TOP PICK | Peter Brieger |
(A Top Pick Dec 30/13. Up 42.4%.) If we got into oil at under $60 for a couple of years, the pipeline growth would certainly slow down, but not sure that they would go into decline necessarily. Tweet finance |
Price: $35.000 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN - LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: Yes |
2014-12-11 | WAIT | Teal Linde |
(PPL-T and IPL-T) It is too soon to get into it. Mid-stream players saw their valuations go way up in the search for dividends. Then they moved up higher because of the growth rates. But only a portion of the projects are secured. There is risk that the valuations could contract. Tweet finance |
Price: $29.210 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN Bias: BULLISH Owned: Unknown |
2014-12-05 | HOLD | Rick Stuchberry |
Has been a core position for a long, long time. Trimmed it a couple of times. His measurement on yield plays is that if he gets a yield, he then looks for at least matching growth to give him over 10%-12%. If he can't get that, then he is really not that interested. Tweet finance |

2014-11-25 | PAST TOP PICK | David Burrows |
(A Top Pick Nov 6/13. Up 38.74%.) Thinks that the long-term story for energy infrastructure is intact. You are probably going to get 8%-10% dividend growth for the next 5 years. For this company, it is a necessary piece of infrastructure for the oil sands in Western Canada. It would take a sustained period of very low energy prices for them to curtail their investment. They have very long contracts. Tweet finance |
Price: $34.760 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN - LARGE Bias: BULLISH Owned: Yes |
2014-11-24 | TOP PICK | Peter Brieger |
(Top Pick Nov 25/13, Up 40.53%) As you see the increase in utilization of existing pipelines you will see further dividend growth. 14-15% return is pretty good. Keystone could provide even more potential for dividend growth. Tweet finance |
Price: $34.570 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN - LARGE Bias: CAUTIOUS Owned: Yes |
2014-11-18 | BUY | Michael Bowman |
Pembina (PPL-T) or Inter Pipeline (IPL-T)? Every investor in this country has to own one or the other. Charts are looking really good. Pembina has outperformed this one year to date. Tweet finance |

2014-11-14 | COMMENT | Zachary Curry |
Recommended for a 3-5 year Hold? He likes this company. Other companies would be worse off than this one, if interest rates were to rise. This is a company that is growing, more so than other dividend paying companies. A good company for a 3-5 year Hold. Tweet finance |

2014-11-07 | COMMENT | Michael Decter |
His largest holding. Had terrific earnings 2 days ago and increased their dividend by 14%. The company is still about $3 below their high. Likes their growth and that they share earnings with the shareholders, in terms of steady dividend increases. This is a good one for the long haul. Tweet finance |
Price: $35.260 Subject: CANADIAN Bias: BULLISH Owned: Yes |
2014-10-27 | TOP PICK | Peter Brieger |
Several criteria for tonight's Top Picks are for solid assured cash flow growth and subsequent growth in distributions. There have been both with this company. This is basically a business that is involved with Take & Pay contracts for a major part of the business, or cost of service plus. Given the business that they have currently on the books, you are going to see a major increase in cash flow per share of about $1.40, and probably see 30% of that added to the current distribution. Feels the pipeline business in Canada is a growth business. Very good value. Yield of 3.68%. Tweet finance |
Price: $35.060 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN - LARGE Bias: OPTIMISTIC Owned: Yes |
2014-10-20 | BUY | David Baskin |
The mid stream sector took a massacre in the last 6 weeks. Some had very high valuations, but they got sold off much too much. He likes them. Less commodity exposure. They are attractive to buy right now. Tweet finance |
Price: $34.960 Subject: NORTH AMERICAN - LARGE Bias: BULLISH Owned: Unknown |
2014-10-10 | BUY | David Cockfield |
Which pipelines should he buy? His favourites have been in the juniors, Pembina (PPL-T) and Inter Pipeline (IPL-T). Likes these because they operate virtually all in Alberta and somewhat in Saskatchewan and BC. They don't face the kind of political problems that the larger ones do. Will probably show better growth in a reasonable market and he would say either of these 2. They give reasonable dividends and good growth potential. Tweet finance |

They look weird together onstage. Mostly because she looks like a backup dancer for a Christina Aguilera show. She doesn't sing greatly, you know, but it is nice to see her forget every other word and jump in after reading it off of Matt "Velvet" Dusk's admittedly expressive and captivating lips. Between this and her relationship to the melody itself, which let's characterize as "estranged," it's very much like one of those mid-'90s Natalie Merchant songs where the backup singer is Natalie Merchant Sounding Slightly Retarded. Have I been blimbed? Cut to Matt "Velvet" Dusk imitating Jenn in interview, warbling all over the staff. That sounds dirty. It is dirty, when she does it. As she continues singing, "Oh no, you can't take that away from me," you can actually see a little thought bubble forming above Wolfie's head that says, "Can somebody at least try to take it away from her?" Various audience members look -- not pissed exactly, more like concerned. Disturbed. Shaken, maybe.
The song finally ends, and more audience members look like Joe Rogan just forced them to eat South American beetles. Matt "Velvet" Dusk has to ask for applause and points out, shrewdly, that Jenn's "straight from Oregon," implying that she's only onstage tonight as a favor. Really the best possible solution to this, I think. I love you, Matt "Velvet" Dusk. And all your ways. Cut to Joe gloating over just how embarrassing that must have been for everyone. "As predicted, Jenn wasn't very good," laments Matt "Velvet" Dusk in an interview. He smiles ruefully, thinking he made the best of it, which he did. "I just really hope that people weren't laughing at Jenn." Oh, that's so sweet. I mean, I know he was using her as a pawn in his twisted mind game with reality, versus foes unknown, but I like that this is his last word on it: I hope she didn't hear anyone making fun of her. As Jenn makes her way post-haste out of Zax, you can tell it doesn't matter: she's mentally right now making fun of herself. Which, again, so cool that she knows how much she sucks. Too bad she takes that too far and goes from "reality check" straight through to "the kind of self-esteem issues that would make Janeane Garofalo slap you silly." "But Joe seemed to be happy so you know, I got my chip," he grins. I don't know what that means but I'm glad he got one. "We'll see what happens. Maybe I can get that Showroom now." His eyebrows do a little calisthenics routine at this point. It's weird.

Jail Reopening and Expansion Proposed for the Corner of Atlantic and Smith
Two city commissioners revived plans last night to reinvent the jail system — and, they say, gloss up Atlantic Avenue in the bargain. Martin Horn, who runs Corrections and Probation, told a roomful of architects that marooning detainees on Rikers Island thwarts justice ("Nothing angers a judge more than having a jury impanelled and a defendant stuck in traffic on the BQE") and tempts disaster (the one bridge to Rikers evidently sits between a jet-fuel tank and what Horn describes as "railroad cars full of chlorine gas").

Mayor R.T. Rybak's turn at the podium in Charlotte comes tonight.
Rybak, a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, will address the DNC between 6:35 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. CST. The livestream will be available at StarTribune.com and YouTube.
Expect Rybak to touch on the Recovery Act's impact on Minneapolis, and emphasize how Obama administration policies have helped city coffers in the last four years.
The mayor's speaking slot is a rare platform on the national stage, and a speech at the 1948 DNC by one of Rybak's predecessors, Hubert Humphrey, instantly made him a Democratic leader, but Rybak won't be the most prominent mayor at the DNC. That honor goes to San Antonio mayor Julian Castro, who will deliver the keynote address soon after Rybak speaks Tuesday night.
Politico noted this morning that the more than half a dozen mayors speaking to the convention likely represent the future of the Democratic Party.
"We have achievement gaps, we have bridges and other pieces of infrastructure collapsing, we [are] trying to move forward increasingly diverse communities. We have to put police and firemen on the streets. All this in the midst of having dramatically less money," Rybak told Politico.
Other Minneapolitans may also make a splash at the DNC. State Sen. Scott Dibble tweeted a photo of himself yesterday speaking with the Daily Show's John Oliver.

The Fancy Schmancy Grilled Cheese & Beer Night!
- Food & Drink
- Andrew's Cheese Shop, Santa Monica CA
This is a "hands-on," participation class. Seating is limited for this popular event. We need to limit the class size so everybody can join in the fun!
We'll start with a brief discussion of the principles behind the making of this simple, classic cheese. After the lecture, Andrew will demonstrate his techniques and answer questions, then the students will come on up in groups of five and make their own cheese right alongside Andrew. During these "down times," the rest of the class will be enjoying some Prosecco, caprese salad, and homemade pizza. Each student will be able to take home their own creations.
The cost is $45 (plus tax) per person. The event sells out quickly, so check our calendar for upcoming dates, or email us to get on the list for the next event.
Andrew Steiner first fell madly and passionately in love with cheese while working as a waiter at Joachim Splichal's legendary restaurant Patina. An enthusiastic, quick-learning cheese lover, Steiner was soon promoted to the full-time position of Maitre d'Fromage, instituting the beloved cheese menu and cheese cart for which the restaurant became famous. After 24 years working in restaurants, the veteran cheese expert left the industry to start Andrew's Cheese Shop, which opened August 2008 in Santa Monica, CA.
"Working in restaurants was a whole lesson in hospitality," Steiner says. "I love talking to people and getting to know them. With my own business, I have an opportunity to do the same—and blab on about cheese at the same time. This shop is a dream come true for me."
Steiner has an affinity for creating relationships with customers, and he wants to be able to share his profound knowledge with people who love cheese and—perhaps more importantly—those who know nothing about it. Winning cheese converts one by one is what sets Steiner apart from the rest.

In the spring of 2013, I used online bill pay to pay my county real estate taxes. I input the correct payment address and account number and they sent it to the electric company. In the fall, they did the same thing so I dug deeper and noticed that the address that I had input had changed. It appears that in a computer conversion that the bank had jumbled all the payment addresses. So the dumb CPA that I am, I thought, surely this cannot happen again. So I went and paid it again through online banking and for the third time they mailed it to the wrong address.
They care so little about my money that they send anywhere they please.
So the question must be asked: does my money really exist in this bank or is it really just a giant Ponzi scheme?
After a few bad experiences with Chase (post-WaMu), I decided to open a checking and savings account with Washington Federal Savings as their Ballard (Seattle) location was close to where I live.
Two weeks after opening the account, I noticed a $14 withdrawal from my checking account by an unknown party. As it turns out, personal checks are automatically ordered when opening their Simple Checking account. I inquired about this charge, as it was not explained to me nor was it documented in the disclosure or fee rate sheet, and they essentially just said it was part of the process and that it was not documented. At one point I asked, "What documentation was I given that explains $14 will be removed from my account for ordering checks?" The teller replied, "Where does it say we won't?"
Thanks Washington Federal Savings for the two weeks of great service and two days of horrible service. I will be closing my accounts.
The bank is very unprofessional and unpredictable. I have a credit rating of 800 and have been jerked around on my home loan to where I feel like I am in a used car lot being run by Larry, Curly and Moe. One minute my loan is approved, the next its not. Then when I insist on paperwork that says its approved, they tell me something like this, "Oh, I need to verify your employment. How do I do that?" Insert your own favorite three stooges line now! So, Im gonna close on Friday, or maybe two weeks from now, or today? Woo Woo wo! LOL I'm done riding this train. Its time to restart this whole process with a real bank.

Lack of satisfaction is secret to Woods' success
Tiger Woods won for the fifth time in his past six starts on Sunday. His response? "I still have holes in my game that I need to fix." And therein lies the secret to Woods' success.
Before making his first start of the season, Tiger Woods surmised that his chances of winning this year's Grand Slam are "easily within reason."
Although most focused on the final two words of that phrase, perhaps we should have been paying more attention to the first word. Easily. If he continues playing as he did at the Buick Invitational this week, winning by eight strokes, many things will come easy for Woods this season. The Weekly 18 begins with a look into the secret for his success.
"Yesterday was terrible. I drove it like a dog yesterday. I was disappointed the way I drove it today because I haven't been driving it like that. Whether it was 5-wood, 3-wood or driver, I didn't drive it very good at all. I had a low left ball or a spinny high right. Kind of hard to aim when you've got both of those things going. I just overshaped them. It was pretty embarrassing. I hit a terrible tee shot over to the right.
"I was really surprised at some of the shots I hit off the tees because I haven't been doing that. I just have to hit the ball better than I'm hitting it right now. I actually had a mis-hit and ended up OK. Bladed my second one trying to keep it underneath the tree. It had a little happy face on it. "I didn't have the speed of the greens early, kept running them by I missed a short one at the second hole. "Five was just a terrible shot. I laid the shaft down, got stuck, flipped it over there, hit it real short. Six, I was trying to hit the ball short right of the hole, but not that short. Seven, wind knocked it down. I thought I hit the ball middle of the green. I was just trying to play middle of the green. Just don't hit it over the green, and it came up well short. And then eight, I chickened out on it because I was hitting a big hook, and I was thinking, 'Well, if this ball lands, it's going to be ripping across the green. Just don't hit it long.' I hit it short of the green. On 15, I was trying to hit kind of a low cut, and to be honest with you, I hit it a little bit off the toe and hit kind of a low draw. "I've gotten some pretty good breaks the past couple days, some pretty good lies in the rough I got a lucky break, and it stayed up. I got a couple of good bounces on the greens. " Based on Woods' words -- and yes, these are all quotes from his truly this past week -- you'd get the feeling he had been shanking it around Torrey Pines like an 18-handicapper, not winning in dominant fashion. He might not be an eternal pessimist, but the five bogeys Woods carded this week (four of which came on Sunday) will stick in his craw longer than the 24 birdies will leave him smiling. He'll be able to see some clouds peeking through that great big silver lining. He might be happy with his most recent victory, but he won't be satisfied. And therein lies the secret to Tiger's success.Buick Invitational Leaderboard
1. Woods (-19)
2. Imada (-11)
T-3. Sabbatini (-9)
T-3. Cink (-9)
5. Leonard (-7)
"I wanted to go out there and make no bogeys and shoot something under par," Woods told CBS after immediately walking off the course with a final-round 71. "Well, I got half of it right."
Make no mistake, after flying 20 hours to compete in this week's Dubai Desert Classic, he will continue working on his game, striving for better results from every shot. Although his peers look at Woods' game and see an unbeatable, dominant presence, the game's top-ranked player views himself as a work in progress, never quite reaching the level of perfection others allow him. Should any other player procure an eight-shot PGA Tour victory, it would take a crowbar to pry the smile from his face. Copies of all four rounds would find a permanent place in the home DVD player, and thoughts of the win would dance in the mind for the remainder of the season. Not so for Woods, of course. With a straight face, he declared Sunday, "I still have holes in my game that I need to fix and need to improve on. I just think that what I've been working on, I'm headed in the right direction." Yes, he's headed in the right direction. And if he ever fixes those holes and improves what he's working on, well, maybe -- just maybe -- Woods someday will be satisfied with his own performance.

- Q: Does he get under your skin a bit?
RORY SABBATINI: No.
Q: You've just had some interesting remarks in the past about him.
RORY SABBATINI: No.
- "I wasn't even expecting to play, so I have nothing to lose this week.
I'm going to put my best out there and see what happens."
- "Thursday morning when I was waiting on the putting green, I kept my head down, was hitting some putts into this cup, and looked up and boom, he was right there in front of me. I was kind of awestruck for a second, and I said, 'Wow, I guess I am on the PGA Tour.' It was pretty cool."
- "Man, that was one of the coolest things ever, no doubt about it. He was fun to watch but just kind of fun to compare myself against him, as well. It's inspiring and very educational. I recommend everyone try it at least one time."
- "I will be there [Monday] and don't expect too much, but sometimes that's when you play your best. I'll give it my best shot. If not, it'll be a good week off, and I have three big weeks coming up after that."
- "I played the Merrill Lynch Shootout this year with Anthony Kim as my partner.
Everybody asks, 'Who's the next young player to come along? Who's the next talented young player?' I see a lot of talented young players. Nothing really kind of jumped out at me until I played with this kid. I played with Anthony for three rounds there in Naples, and I was blown away.
I think Tiger's mental game was probably stronger [at a similar age]. I think actual technique-wise, swing-wise, I reckon Anthony's swing is better at 21 or 22 than what Tiger's was."
- "I'm going to play Houston this year before the Masters. The tournament director came up to me last year and said, 'You know, I just wanted you to know we're really making an effort to have the golf course match up to the Masters. We're going to have the rough the same height, green speed the same, practice facilities to accommodate.' And I thought that was really cool, and it provides a great spot to get ready for the Masters, so I'll end up playing there, which I haven't done in the past."
- "Finally broke through for his first career Nationwide Tour victory at the WNB Golf Classic in October, but only one other top-10 suggests he may struggle on the big tour."
- "Two weeks before Q-school, I was talking with Brad outside my bagel deli. The man told me exactly what he had to do and went out and kicked tuchas. The kid is playing with a lot of confidence and will not be intimidated.
P.S. If he doesn't finish top-125, you get a free whitefish and nova platter.
- My goal is to make the PGA or Nationwide Tour within a year. I realize this is a bold statement coming from a 25-year-old who was a 22-handicapper five months ago, but after working on my game every day, I am now consistently breaking 80. In addition, to further shave my index down and get much needed tournament experience, I am relocating to Thailand on Feb. 7, where stroke and match play events are held six times per week through the International Pattaya Golf Club.

When nothing ever works out

#1Posted 27 February 2013 - 11:49 PM
It seems like every time I try to make a positive change in my life it doesn't work out, and I am left thinking 'Why did I bother?'
I've been preparing to start a sport and was feeling pretty positive about it. It would be the first time I've ever really done such a thing. I was ready to start next week. Now tonight both my knees have just swelled right up, and from looking it up (obviously I'll see a doc. tomorrow) it looks like the most common treatment is to rest the area. Well knees are kind of pivotal (though not literally or it wouldn't be such an issue!) to the sport, obviously. This is so depressing. And it just tacks on the end of a long list of crap endings to good ideas lately. Healthier eating? Allergies I never knew I had arise. Study? Turns out it's either sleep or study, not both. Fix the back yard? Everyone else gives up halfway - looks worse than when we started. Organise extra activities for the kids because finances are stable? Extra income falls through. I feel like giving up. Each time I pull myself back up, but I'm starting to feel like an idiot for listening to myself. #2Posted 28 February 2013 - 01:25 AM
sounds like youve had a rough trot. Hope things improve OP
#3Posted 28 February 2013 - 02:28 AM
I have had a few things like that lately. Hoping things look up for you soon.
#4Posted 28 February 2013 - 04:15 AM
oh i know how you feel
I feel the same way but unfortunately it isn't sport related more baby related #5Posted 28 February 2013 - 05:52 AM
How unbelievably frustrating OP. I know exactly the feeling, and it SUCKS.
Seems bizarre that your knees would just swell up out of nowhere - did you do something that could possibly have caused that? Hope the doc visit is helpful. Maybe you will just need to rest them for a week and can still start your sport stuff the following week? Hope this little black cloud of bad luck lifts soon. Don't give up!! #6 Guest_Sunnycat_*Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:12 AM
I know how you feel. Mine is financial. Every time I make positive changes to start saving for a goal something happens and sets us back. I managed to save uo $300 and then DS destroyed my phone so had to replace it, even though it had insurance. I am returning to work extra days soon to try and get ahead, but then because DH got made redundant last year and now is working a really sh*tty casual job, his sh*tty pay fluctuates so I doubt the extra days will mean that there is much extra money to save. But I'm determined to keep trying! Sometimes it feels like we're never getting anywhe financially.
I'm Sorry about your knee. it really does suck but don't give up! #7Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:27 AM
Feeling your frustration OP. DH wanted to move somewhere so we wouldn't have to do FIFO anymore and could both earn good money and get rid of our crippling debt. I can't get a job and I'm miserable. Worst of all, my depression and anxiety has hit an all time high. Worse than when DH was FIFO.
Sometimes life just sucks. I hope your knees settle soon and you get some good luck your way really soon #8Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:39 AM
I am so sorry that you are so often thwarted - I had similar things happen financially last year, with the final twist being quite destroying.
It has forced me to rethink my whole approach to life - there are good days and bad days - but I now view any steps forwards as a bonus and to enjoy the what I have right now as a priority. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |
