Fritos? Corn Chips to Celebrate 80Th ... - Food and Drink Digital

PLANO, Texas, Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The saying "everything's bigger in Texas" will ring especially true on ?October 1, as Fritos? brand corn chips celebrates its 80^th anniversary in a big way ? by setting out to achieve a world record for the biggest-ever Fritos Chili Pie?. A mixture of Fritos corn chips, chili and cheddar cheese, Fritos Chili Pie has long been one of America's favorite ways to enjoy Fritos corn chips, which is a flagship product within PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division. The Guinness World Records? title attempt will take place at the State Fair of Texas?, the biggest fair in the U.S.

"For 80 years, Fritos corn chips have been an important piece of Americana," said Tony Matta, vice president, marketing, Frito-Lay. "Our Guinness World Records? title attempt will not only add a new milestone to our proud history, it will also serve as a hearty celebration for this timeless snack."

Starting at 10 a.m. CDT on October 1, State Fair of Texas? attendees can join the fun as the over-sized Fritos Chili Pie is constructed in Big Tex Circle at the footsteps of famed fair mascot Big Tex himself.?If a Guinness World Record? title is set, an official adjudicator will verify the accomplishment and the tasty "pie," along with a variety of Pepsi beverages, will be shared with fairgoers eager to sample the record-breaking treat.

Fritos invites fans across America to also join the 80^th anniversary celebration by helping an important cause. The brand is proudly partnering with Hormel? Chili, the No.1 brand of chili in America, to support our troops through Wounded Warrior Project? (WWP). From September 16 through October 13, consumers can look for special displays at local retailers featuring a $1-off coupon for combined purchase of Fritos corn chips and Hormel? Chili.?For every coupon redeemed, Fritos and Hormel Foods will donate $1 to WWP, up to $100,000, to honor and empower wounded warriors in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Fritos brand was born in 1932 when Elmer Doolin purchased a corn chips recipe from a local businessman and began making the first Fritos chips right from his mother's kitchen with a converted potato ricer. The popularity of the snack catapulted in 1961 when he joined forces with H.W. Lay & Company to create Frito-Lay, Inc. Doolin's mother, Daisy Dean Doolin, created recipes to help market Fritos corn chips by using them as an ingredient in a wide range of dishes, including her now-famous Fritos Chili Pie. Once a dish favored in small hometowns, Fritos Chili Pie is now served coast to coast, where fans from New York to Los Angeles relish it.

Some Do's and Don'ts of Annuity Investment | One Cent At A Time

Annuity investments are payments made to an insurance company to?save for retirement. The actual annuity is not the savings, but the pension you purchase with the proceeds of your savings. This provides you with a guaranteed monthly income until your death, and potential other benefits according to your specific type of annuity and the country you live in.

If you have a 401K, you can use the sum paid out to purchase an annuity. This will likely be the biggest single payment you will make in your entire life. If you have been paying annuity investments to an insurance company, either individually or through your employer, the same situation applies. If you also have an IRA the same will likely apply.

Here are a number of Dos and Don?ts that should help you make the most of your investment and your annuity. These include investments to save for the annuity you will purchase to provide you with a retirement income in addition to dos and don?ts for the annuity itself.

Do?s of Annuity Investments

1. Invest in a 401K: If your employer offers a 401K to which they also make a contribution, then do make sure that you join it. Even if you have a personal IRA, you should not leave your employer?s money on the table. One of the immediate advantages of a 401K is that it is taken from your gross salary ? income tax. However, once you eventually use the proceeds, you are taxed on it, so tip #2 is:

2. Consider a Roth 401K: This is the same as a regular 401K, only your contributions are taken after tax. What this means is that if you use your 401K to purchase an annuity on your retirement (59.5+ years old for a 401K) you will not be taxed on your pension payments. With a regular 401K you will be taxed. Whichever of the two alternatives you choose, you still pay tax, but the chance you take is how much tax in each case.

You might live to a very old age, in which case the Roth 401K would be the better, or you might not in which case the regular 401K might be the better of the two. Tax rates could change ? if up, then the Roth 401K works, but if down, then the regular 401K is financially the more beneficial. Your problem is that you cannot foresee these events, which is why many people mix the two: they pay a proportion into each of them.

3. Invest in an IRA: Whether that is a regular or a Roth IRA is once more your choice, the difference between the two being the same as for a 401K. Many people that can afford it have saved for an annuity using both an IRA and a 401K, and a few invest four ways: a regular and Roth alternative with each of them. By saving using both an IRA and a 401K, you will make the best use of your cash in annuity investments.

4. Save some cash: Do not use all your 401K and IRA to purchase an annuity. Retain part of it as a lump sum in case of emergency. Most people earn less from their annuities when they retire than when they were in employment, and it is useful to have a lump sum of cash invested in a rapid access account.

5. Increase your contributions: Try to increase your contribution by 1% each year, or at least apportion part of any salary increase to your annuity savings. If you are able to make occasional payments, pay part of any bonus to your annuity savings.

6. Take professional advice: Do not make your decisions without taking professional financial advice. When you do so, make sure that advice comes from an independent financial advisor, and even then try at least two and compare what they advise. Most people are amateurs in the world of investment and annuities and they require advice. They are at the mercy of those trying to sell them financial products, and those with large lump sums from a lifetime of saving in a 401K and/or an IRA are prime targets.

You must make sure that you are taking the right advice, and while the opinion of one independent financial advisor might be useful, you should consult at least two so you can compare what they say. If there is any significant difference between their respective advice, then continue until you find a degree of consensus. Remember: once you agree on an annuity, you are stuck with it for life.

Don?ts of Annuity Investments

1. Do not trust anyone: Finance is a cutthroat business, and you should never take the advice of anybody without getting another opinion ? or several! ?Independent? financial advisors are being paid a fee by companies for whom they introduce business. He who pays most will receive most business! So as has been said, and will be again, never accept your first offer, either for investing or to purchase an annuity.

2. Don?t annuitize immediately: If you can afford to wait a year or two, your annuity will be greater than if you purchase it immediately. Your age is an important factor in the monthly payment your annuity will provide. Others are the total sum you have paid in and the interest rate at the time you buy the annuity.

One solution to the possibility of interest rates dropping while you delay buying your annuity is to purchase a part annuity on retirement and the rest some years later when you are older and the interest rates are possibly higher. More on this with respect to inflation in item 3 below.

3. Don?t ignore inflation: A fixed annuity might give you a higher pension to begin with, but if you live as long as you hope to, your monthly income will be devalued with inevitable inflation. Either make sure your annuity rises with inflation or the cost of living or make sure you have a secondary income. You could also use only part of your IRA or 401K and use the rest to purchase another annuity later in life.

4. Don?t do what your friend does: Do not follow your friend or colleague?in how you buy your annuity. What works for one person might not be best for you. Take professional advice so that your annuity suits your specific circumstances.

5. Don?t accept the first offer: you are not obliged to buy an annuity from the insurance company holding your savings, 401K or IRA. Shop around and find out what your options are. Go for the option that best suits you. See ?best annuity rates?

6. Don?t forget your spouse or partner: if you have a wife, husband or partner who will be dependent on your income, consider buying a joint life annuity. This will cost more, but will guarantee payment to the surviving partner.

You can take your annuity as a pension or a lump sum, or a combination of each. Before deciding you should get professional advice. There are many other aspects of annuity investments and how they should be used on your retirement that require careful consideration.

Republican convention is in full-throated roar

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? With the Republican National Convention at last in full-throated roar, nominee Mitt Romney and his team reached out Wednesday to connect with critical voting groups ? veterans, Hispanics and women ? while gleefully mocking the man he is out to defeat in November.

Romney himself was ducking out of his own convention in Tampa to address the American Legion Convention in Indianapolis. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a top Hispanic voice in the GOP, made the round of morning talk shows to defend the GOP nominee's policies. And Ann Romney and Janna Ryan, the wife of Romney's running mate, teamed up to headline a "Women for Romney" fundraiser.

At the women's event, Mrs. Romney offered her husband as "the one person who is going to turn this country around," and promised that her husband would keep in mind the needs of women and families, if elected. Later, she attended a Latino Coalition lunch, where son Craig addressed guests in Spanish, and described his father as "a man you can trust."

Mrs. Romney told the Latino crowd that Democrats try to make it look like Republicans "don't care about this community. That's not true. We very much care about this community."

Latinos, she said, "are mistaken if they think they are going to be better off" if President Barack Obama wins re-election, she said.

The main draw for Wednesday night's convention session is vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman and author of a tough budget that remakes the way the government spends money.

"I think people are going to like what they see because we are offering specific, bold solutions to get people back to work, to get this country back on the right track," Ryan said in a taped interview with WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee. He acknowledged having a stricter anti-abortion stance than Romney, but said he's comfortable with the GOP nominee's position "because it's a vast improvement on the status quo."

Rubio, interviewed on "CBS This Morning," held out Ryan as a serious policy thinker who's "going to have a bunch of new fans across this country" after he speaks.

Obama's re-election campaign released an online video casting Ryan, who is hugely popular with conservatives, as a politician from a "bygone era" whose budget proposals threaten Medicare and would gut funding for Planned Parenthood.

A poll by the Pew Research Center and The Washington Post found Americans deeply divided about Ryan, whom they described as conservative, intelligent, fake, phony.

Romney's nomination now official, he was free at last to start dipping into his general-election pot of campaign cash.

"We're excited that now he's going to be able to spend money, both in English and in Spanish, to explain to people how his policies will help grow the economy, help small business, help people have the confidence to invest in the future," Rubio said."

To ensure the cash keeps rolling in, Ann Romney emailed supporters a fundraising appeal that echoed her Tuesday night speech to the convention.

"This man will not fail," she promised in the plea.

Obama, for his part, was courting another key voting group ? young voters ? with a second day of campaigning in college towns. He had hoped to speak on the University of Virginia campus, but the school rejected that idea, saying it would disrupt classes on the second day of the semester. He'll speak in an off-campus pavilion instead.

The politics played out as Hurricane Isaac blew ashore on the Gulf Coast, casting uncertainty into a convention that scrubbed the first day of events out of fear it would swipe Tampa. Officials in Louisiana said that as of midday Wednesday, New Orleans' flood protection system was holding up as Isaac moved through the area.

The latest economic news suggested weak growth in the second half of the year, fodder for Republicans who blame Obama for the sluggish recovery. The U.S. economy grew at a tepid 1.7 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the government reported Wednesday, a bit better than expected due to slightly stronger consumer spending and greater exports.

The GOP's outreach effort went into full gear after Ann Romney offered convention delegates ? and a national TV audience ? a soft-sided portrayal of the Republican candidate in her convention address. Her appearance was paired with a parade of gleeful Obama-bashers as the GOP seized its moment after days of worry about the hurricane.

Beyond Ryan, Wednesday's lineup includes 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Romney speaks Thursday night to bring down the curtain-closing balloons. Obama's Democratic National Convention follows next week in Charlotte, N.C.

Rice, warming up for her speech, said the voice of the United States in world affairs "has been muted" under this president, creating a chaotic and dangerous security environment. She spoke on "CBS This Morning."

Opinion polls, however, show Obama getting high marks on national security after ending the war in Iraq, drawing down the conflict in Afghanistan and ordering the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

Romney made his debut at the convention two days before his own speech, rousing the crowd into cheers as he took the stage briefly to share a kiss with his wife after she spoke. Ann Romney's prime-time speech was in large measure an outreach to female voters as she declared her husband "will not let us down" if elected president.

Her tone was intimate as she spoke about the struggles of working families: "If you listen carefully, you'll hear the women sighing a little bit more than the men. It's how it is, isn't it? It's the moms who always have to work a little harder, to make everything right."

Obama's allies did their best to counter Romney and the Republicans.

First lady Michelle Obama traveled to New York to promote her healthy-living initiatives while visiting "The Dr. Oz Show" and Rachael Ray's talk show. The programs will air next month, closer to the election.

Mrs. Obama also was making a guest appearance on Wednesday's "Late Show with David Letterman."

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, dismissing GOP attempts to woo Hispanic voters, said: "You can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate." He added, "This is a party with a platform that calls for the self-deportation of 11 million people."

Hispanics strongly favor Obama, according to public polls, and Romney and his party have been seeking to win a bigger share of their votes by emphasizing proposals to fix the economy rather than ease their positions on immigration.

Polls find the economy is overwhelmingly the dominant issue in the race and voters narrowly favor Romney to handle it. In an AP-GfK poll taken Aug. 16-20, some 48 percent of registered voters said they trust Romney more on economic issues, to 44 percent for Obama. However, a Washington Post-ABC News in the days immediately before the convention found that 61 percent of registered voters said Obama was more likable, while 27 percent said Romney.

Isis mobile payment system primed for September launch, supported devices revealed

You've known it was coming, but Isis has been so quiet on the mobile payments front in the past few months that you might've forgotten the score. Now, the joint venture backed by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon has announced that it'll debut its system in Austin and Salt Lake City next month. At least part of the delay is attributed to its shift in strategy, when Isis shelved its plans to process payments through the carriers themselves and instead work with MasterCard and Visa. Isis representatives have declined to elaborate on future expansion plans.

Coinciding with the recent update that enabled Isis support for T-Mobile's Galaxy S II, MasterCard has come clean with a list of devices that'll receive similar treatment. Specifically, those in the US can expect the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, One X, Amaze 4G, Galaxy S III to gain Isis support. Naturally, the possibility remains open for other devices as well, and if you'd like to see the complete list of candidates, make sure to check out the PDF below.

use online video

In July 2012 I was invited to ?YouTube & Google ?in California to learn more about the benefits of online video for business. During our ?trip we presented at Google I/O. Our trip was an insight to the future of technology (project glass) and how online video will play it?s part in the next wave. I since came across the article below from a company in Los Angeles on why you should be marketing with online video. Thought it was worth sharing?

Online video is undoubtedly one of the most effective forms of digital marketing. In July 2012, 85.5% of American Internet users?viewed online video, and Google?reportsthat 4 out of 10 shoppers visit a store online or in-person as a direct result of watching online video. The numbers are clearly there, but here are 10 reasons you should be incorporating online video into your digital marketing strategy.

1. Video is memorable
Images and text can be captivating, but videos, complete with intriguing visuals, music, and, most importantly, narratives, will stick with viewers far longer than most media. Moreover, studies show that online videos are 38%?more memorable?than TV ads.

2. People love sharing videos
People enjoy posting links to entertaining videos on their social media accounts or sharing their favorite videos when gathered around a computer with friends. This is particularly true when the video represents their personality, world-view, or sense of humor. People want to be a bearer of quality content and be acknowledged for the entertainment they share. On Twitter alone, over 700 YouTube videos are?shared?every minute.

3. Online video can be extremely creative
With online video, there?s no limit to creativity. Beyond the creativity found in traditional media?s well-written scripts and impressive effects, online video can do virtually anything. Challenge your company to go above and beyond by producing interactive videos, using the Facebook API, allowing fans to choose plots, and more. Plus, online video can get away with more provocative or irreverent content than TV ads and isn?t restricted to traditional formats or :15, :30, 1:00 lengths.

4. People like entertainment
Simply put, people like being entertained. Online video, when done right, can be highly entertaining. When you make your customers happy, they?re more likely to buy from you.

5. It?s the gift that keeps on giving
Online videos can have an indefinitely long shelf life. Unlike TV commercials, once a video is created and uploaded, it can stay online eternally without any extra costs, allowing people to view it long after production, benefiting your brand even years down the line.

6. People are visual
65 percent of people are primarily?visual learners, and visuals have high appeal to everyone. Video, of course, is one of the most visual forms of marketing, and your customers will respond well to it.

7. Online videos can be re-purposed as TV spots
Online videos can also be used for television commercials. Measuring the videos? online success can help determine which should be made into TV spots and how much you should spend to air them.

8. Search engine optimization for online videos can be incredibly effective
Major search engines like Google feature blended search results, displaying videos, images, and other content among text-based links. Understanding SEO for videos can rocket your brand?s video to the top of results, bringing your message to a massive number of people.

9. Technology is becoming increasingly video-friendly
Most of us can remember a time when streaming video didn?t even exist or when videos took seemingly forever to load. Nowadays, high-resolution videos stream almost instantly, and they can even be accessed from our pockets. Videos are becoming easier and easier to watch and share, and video technology will continue improving rapidly in coming years.

10. Videos spark conversation
If a viral video is engaging enough, people will want to talk about it. They?ll post about it on their blog, Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, they?ll discuss it with friends face-to-face, and they?ll leave comments directly on the video. Inane YouTube comments may often make us want to bang our heads on our desks, but engagement is engagement. By interacting with your marketing, your potential customers are interacting with your product and will be more likely to purchase from your brand.

For these 10 reasons, as well as many others, online video is an essential aspect of any marketing strategy. When done well, video can dramatically increase conversions and make your campaign a major success.

Does your company utilize online video in your digital marketing strategy?

H&F Bread Co's Loss is Alon's Gain: Rob Alexander Moves To ...

Posted by Foodie Buddha on August 23, 2012

Not 24-hours after Holeman & Finch Bread Company opened their doors to the general public do we have some even bigger news.? Rob Alexander, the wunderkind head baker at H+F, has moved to Alon?s Bakery, another titan of ATL?s bread scene.

Even if you don?t know Alexander by name (cough ? Tami ?), you certainly know his work.? HFBC provides bread to many area restaurants.? Alexander has plenty of bread certifications, cut his teeth in France, slung flour with Thomas Keller, and basically done great work wherever he?s gone. Dude is for real.

While I have your attention, this seems like an opportune time to mention the post on Alexander written by the better half of Ambiguously Foodie Duo over on Eat It Atlanta.? That?s one of the best food articles to come out of Atlanta?s writing culture, so give it a read if you haven?t.

Meanwhile, mark my words: this is the most notable movement in the Atlanta restaurant scene in at least the last year ? if not longer.? On a more practical note, this isn?t like a new chef showing up at a new restaurant, so noticeable changes will probably take a little bit to come to fruition.

* Props to the Eat It for his twitter creativity for the post title.
