Teens, Smartphones & Texting
Communication choices
Texting dominates teens' general communication choices
When asked generally about how they communicate with people in their lives – not just about their friends, but about all kinds of people – teens point to text messaging as the dominant daily mode of communication. Among all teens:
- 63% say that they use text to communicate with others every day.
- 39% of teens make and receive voice calls on their mobile phones every day.
- 35% of all teens socialize with others in person outside of school on a daily basis.
- 29% of all teens exchange messages daily through social network sites.
- 22% of teens use instant messaging daily to talk to others.
- 19% of teens talk on landlines with people in their lives daily.
- 6% of teens exchange email daily.
And increasingly, teens do not have the capability or the interest in exchanging instant messages or exchanging email. Nearly 2 in 5 teens say they never or cannot exchange instant messaging, and another 39% of teens say they never exchange email. Talking on a landline is also proving less popular, with 20% of teens saying they never or cannot talk on a landline.
How communication with friends has changed over time7
In addition to our general questions about how teens communicate with others, we also asked specific questions about how teens communicate with friends.
As discussed earlier in this report, texting and calling with friends via a mobile phone are the two most popular modes of communication with friends for teens. Daily text messaging with friends has remained stable since 2009 and daily voice calling with friends on cell phones has declined in the past two years, from 38% of teens calling friends daily on cells in 2009 to 26% two years later. This decline in voice calling on mobiles comes after 3 years of relatively stable findings for daily calls.
The only increase seen in communicating with friends is in messaging through social networks. Nearly 3 in 10 (29%) of teens communicate with friends daily through messages on social networks sites, up modestly from the 21% who did so daily in 2006. Messaging through social networks has shown a gradual increase over the past 6 years.
Email and instant messaging both show a gradual decline in daily use since 2006, with 23% of teens using instant messaging daily with friends, down from 28% in 2006. Email is even less used on a daily basis – 8% of teens say they email daily with friends, down from 14% in 2006. More than half (54%) of all teens now say they never use email to talk with friends, and one third of teens say they never use instant messaging or send messages via social media sites.
Face-to-face communication remains an important mode of communication with friends as well, though teens may be meeting with friends face-to-face outside of school a bit less frequently than they were in the past. While the number of teens who meet with friends face-to-face on daily basis has declined slightly to 25% from 33% in 2009, teens who say they talk with friends face-to-face outside of school several times a week has increased to 37% from 28% in 2009.
- Hey, why are the numbers different for these questions than what you reported in the past? For simplicity and ease of comparison between different communication tools, we are now stating all of the data for these communication choice questions out of "all teens," rather than out of smaller subgroups as we had done previously. ↩

When you doubt yourself and your life …
Many of those who have a family, go to church, and are involved in day-to-day activities, still they have a way of saving up many pent emotions, feelings and even words. With the slightest of triggers, they find themselves lashing out at others during this time because they are basically unhappy, out to prove a matter, or generally miserable. No one that I know of really has a Norman Rockwell painting lifestyle. Some have beautiful homes, money to buy great gifts, and have food in abundance, but someone has worked hard to put all of that together.
In three days recently, I spoke to three adult women, all of whom are struggling with feelings of failure, low self esteem, anger and depression, and one went as far as to say she wanted to end it all and just go ahead and die. Each was hurting in her own particular way and needed help but was unable or unwilling to seek out a professional counselor or minister. One said sincerely that she had no idea why her youngest daughter had turned on her and forbidden her to ever see her beloved grandchildren again. After listening to the conversation and getting a later report from someone who dearly loves this woman, I understood more of why the young mother had taken such a serious stand with her own mother.
We all know people fail us from time to time. They make promises they cannot keep. They say they will do something they never do. After offering to stand by our sides during trials and burdens, they are escape artists when we need them most. These are all good reasons to keep our eyes on Jesus and not on man, or woman. Human beings cannot make us happy. Joy is born in our own souls, and if we have it bubbling out of our lives, then we must thank God that we have learned to live not in perfect circumstances, but with perfect peace in our hearts and lives.
Many of our children have just about all they can do to keep food on the table, house notes paid in full, clothing laundered and folded or hung, doctor's appointments made and kept, and houses cleaned while working a full-time job to help with the family budget. Perhaps we expect too much when we think they can call or visit more often. On the other hand, adult children, perhaps you are not being as considerate as you should be toward your parents.
I am very familiar with a situation that I have observed for 10 years where three adult children work good jobs, seem to have plenty of money for trips and gadgets, all of the newest electronics, vehicles, and telephones, and yet none of the three has ever sent the father a card, note or gift, and there's seldom a telephone call unless they want something. If their gift has not arrived by the time they think it should, they will call and ask where it is. This is a horrible way to live, in my humble opinion. There will be a day when this father is dead and buried, and I would imagine there'll be sad lamenting at that time for their friends and family to observe. They could have and should have loved him while he was alive and healthy if the relationships were normal and kind.
I gave one of the three women the following advice. Perhaps it will help someone you know as well. Take time to appreciate the good, positive people God places in your life and path. Try your best to avoid the negativity coming from others that would only serve to bring you down and make you sad. Work at forgiving those who have wronged you. Let the hurts, slights and cruel words go, and you will feel much stronger, safer and happier. Learn to embrace changes as they come, and they do come to all people. Learn to do new things, visit new places, make new friends, and continue to grow as a person.
Work at recognizing those who truly love you and establish goals that lead to loving yourself. All human beings make mistakes. Only God is perfect. Look at the trouble and hardships others experience and be thankful to God that you don't have those in your life. Plan some time for fun. It doesn't have to cost a great sum of money. Card or board games, shared dessert or coffee, seeing a movie, watching TV, reading a good book, or simply visiting can go a long way toward healing. Align yourself with the fact that the past is not the present and that it is gone. Work on today and be happy in this moment. Read some Scripture every day and try to find a church group in which you can be happy and grow. Enjoy the little things in life, for one day they may truly seem to be the big things you were looking for all the time.
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, and in Him, I will trust." "He shall cover thee with His feathers and under His wings shall thou trust." "His truth shall be thy shield and buckler." "For He shall give His angels charge over thee." — selections from Psalm 91

On this first anniversary (November 2nd) of the untimely passing of the beloved Andy Irons, the entire Billabong family wishes to take a moment to join the surfing world in remembering one of the greatest surfers and human beings our sport has ever known. To mark this occasion, Billabong has created a new video tribute which includes a frank, compelling and in-depth interview with Andy.
Over the course of the lengthy relationship between Billabong and Andy Irons, the two entities became virtually inseparable, with too many collaborations to count. The partnership produced a number of iconic creations ranging from films to apparel, each based on Andy's style and ideas. These reminders of Andy's greatness still surround us today.
Out of respect and acknowledgement of Andy's legacy we will continue to dedicate the Billabong Pipe Masters in his memory. As part of this year's clothing collection for the 2011 Pipe Masters event, Billabong will be re-releasing the hugely popular Andy Irons model Rising Sun board short. In addition, Billabong plans on introducing a limited Andy Irons collection for our summer 2012 release.
Proceeds from these and other Andy Irons products will help ensure the future of his wife Lyndie and young child Axel. Effective July 1st, 2011 Billabong entered into a five year agreement guaranteeing a monthly royalty to his family to ensure their ongoing financial security.
Andy Irons touched so many lives during his brief time on earth. Billabong, along with millions of surfers and surfing fans worldwide, will never forget the great champion from Kauai. Aloha, Andy. You are forever in our hearts.

Anyone can spot Venus, but what about Neptune 3 billion miles away?
The waning crescent moon graces our pre-dawn skies, appearing lower and lower in the east throughout the week. The morning of the 31st, look for it near bright Jupiter. The following morning you'll find the moon midway between a triangle of bright stars: the Gemini twins Castor and Pollux and Procyon in Canis Minor. Monday before dawn, the moon lights the way to ruddy Mars, above and to the left in the gathering morning twilight.
Jupiter and Mars linger in the east during the wee hours before dawn. Jupiter rises around 3am with Mars appearing less than an hour later. There should be no mistaking one for the other, as Jupiter is many times brighter. Watch over the coming weeks as the gap between them — now about 15 degrees — widens, with Jupiter climbing higher and Mars sinking toward the horizon.
Saturn appears in the southwest with sunset. A dozen degrees to its lower right is the star Spica, at first magnitude roughly the same brightness as the ringed planet. Not so, however, with Venus, farther below Spica and forming a jagged line. At magnitude –4.0, Venus is almost 100 times brighter than either Saturn or Spica. Wednesday, Venus is less than two degrees from Spica.
This week offers your best hope of spying the most distant planet, although you'll need binoculars at the least. Neptune reached opposition August 27, its closest point to Earth and its farthest from the sun, with us between the two. Neptune is fully illuminated by sunlight that traveled 2.9 billion miles to reach the distant planet and then nearly as far again to reach our eyes. Consequently, even a strong telescope shows at best a small, bluish dot. Neptune is at its highest between midnight and 1am, 27 degrees above due south, with the dim stars of Aquarius above it and the bright star Fomalhaut 15 degrees below.

Sorry for the trouble, should be all fixed now.
I'm a little confused as to whether Chrome can only protect users against malicious Javascript through disabling Java plugins all together OR Google has actually updated to the latest Java?
Please clarify.
Still no thumbnails in the last 5 Chrome beta updates.
Every time so many security flaws have been fixed... It seems Chrome is still strainer. I'd recommend using it only for fun...
Something is breaking the layout here. Some links on my website go down ~5px after page refresh! In all other browsers this works as in previous chrome stable release: after the refresh all links stay on their positions.
Regarding "JavaScript Web Speech API support" it seems to be limited to the recognition part of the API. The synthesis part is not visible/ covered.

It seems that for Linux the 64 bit .rpm is still version 24.0.1312.70.....

Ever since I updated to chrome version 25 last night, whenever I choose a tab or whenever I insert a website it just sends me to that website and 5 seconds later I'm on the "google.com" page! And afterwards it just keeps refreshing the "google.com" page! I can't even browse for mroe than 5 seconds at a time! Please fix this!! I'm runnning your latest chrome version so far on Windows 7 64 bits also up-to-date. I don't even know how am I going to update chrome now since it does the same when I try to access my settings!
I'm running slackware, so I download the rpm and convert it to a tgz. I've just done that with the 64 bit rpm version, but it's only chrome 24, not 25. Has anyone else been able to download version 25?
Try clearing your cache and cookies.
I reinstalled and it works as usual now! Thanks anyway :)
Beginning yesterday, Chrome is now requesting access to passwords in keychain. I know this happened back in June when Google changing the signing certificate. Any reason it is happening now?
I don't use Chrome to store passwords and that option is not selected in settings.
@Dima Pursanov: It seems that there's an issue with floating in this version, see bug https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=178137
I'm having the same issue (and i'm not the reporter). Seems this was solved by giving the wrapper of elements with a float, a min-height.

There seems to be a problem with the version of Flash in this release (and the current Chrome Beta) interacting with the webcam. On a site that accesses the webcam (MS Lifecam in my case), although the cam works the quality is dreadful and the webcam software for controlling the cam does not start up. This is now a fresh install of Chrome Stable with the cam software / driver also re-installed. Tested in IE9 and FF and works fine. Site I used to test: http://testwebcam.com/

Dear Google,
You have added back "ontouch..." events to devices not supporting touch events at all. This has been happened in the past and you chose to revert back to the good old method of skipping touch handlers on devices that have no support for it.
Though I see the logic behind this move, in the past millions of webpages were created with ("ontouchend" in document) as feature detection. I know this is not the proper method, but there was no other way to do it. (There's still no way to detect this feature cross-browser.) Even Modernizr.touch detects the presence of this event handler rather than the actual touch capability. Web developers do need this information to be able to optimize their user's experience, and they are not curious about the browser can add an otherwise unusable event handler.
With this move millions of webpages will become unusable, like our client's pages, who get the wrong behavior attached to their page controls, rendering them nearly unusable. I'd suggest you to postpone this move until there will be a standard way and cross-browser support to detect the touch capabilities.
Thank you,
Laszlo Molnar
Anyone else having issues with this latest release and GPU acceleration? My problems are similar to what is described in the comments for the 24.x stable release (web pages do not load at all). We've found two workarounds. One is to go to about:flags and disable GPU compositing and Threaded compositing, which breaks the flash plugin. The other is to add the command switches "--disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer" to the chrome shortcut. This appears to fix everything, but is annoying for obvious reasons when you're supporting an organization with several hundred chrome users. Anyone have any suggestions?

Dear Googlers,
Some of my objects which using webkits, stopped working.
on other browsers, they still work fine.
Is there any work around? am i the only one experiencing it?
Since I updated to Chrome 25 I've had constant issue loading gmail. And today Chrome threw Kernal_mode_exception_not_handled. From the mini dump file: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is

As expected I have been completely inspired by The Great British Bake Off. The same thing happened last year, as soon as the first episode hit my tellybox I head for the kitchen to recreate some of their best recipes in my own special way.
The first episode the contestants made an upside down cake, rum babas and a hidden design cake. I personally thought this episode was a toughie and huge round of applause to the lovely contestants for making some lovely cakes! Although non of their hidden designs were as cool as this Damien Hirst creation by Jules over at Butcher, Baker.
Being a bit rusty in the kitchen I decided to opt for the slightly easier upside down cake, although rum babas are now firmly on my to-bake list. Alongside my bake-off obsession I am also having a slight love affair with the gloriously juicy peaches around at the moment. I was recently introduced to the wonderful Doughnut Peach (sometimes know as a flat peach or a Saturn peach). These weird looking bad boys are simply amazing, so juicy and flavourful. Unlike your standard peach, these squished-looking cousins are a lot sweeter, the skin is a little thinner and less fuzzy, and the stone is teeny tiny and much easier to cut out. They also have a wonderful almondy/nutty flavour about them which is simply divine!...
I defy anyone to look at the above picture and not want to lick the screen, I mean look how wonderfully juicy and ripe it is! Just look!
In case your wondering where you can buy these delectable fruits, I bought these in M&S, but have also seen them in Asda, Sainsburys and Morrissons.
Also the rings of peach fit just perfectly into my muffin tin, so I opted for mini upside down cakes. I was slightly concerned that the cake might stick to the pan so I was overly cautious in my greasing of the tin.
I had run out of ground almonds, which was my first choice for this recipe so substituted with ground pistachios. The peppery pistachios added a really great flavour to the sponge and counterbalanced the sweet peaches beautifully. Also, the stunning flecks of green in the sponge added even more colour to these lovely little cakes.
- 110g Unsalted Butter
- 225g Caster Sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 150g Self Raising Flour
- 100g Plain Flour
- 25-30g Ground Pistachio
- 120ml Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla paste or extract
- 2 Doughnut Peaches
- 12 Raspberries
Add the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
Sift the flours into a separate, smaller, bowl.
Measure out the milk in a jug and then add the vanilla to this.
Add 1/3 of the flour to the large bowl. Beat well until combined.
Add 1/3 of the milk and beat again.
Add another 1/3 of the flour, then another 1/3 of the milk, then the last of the flour and then the last of the milk, beating well between additions.
Grease a 12 muffin tin well and lay a peach ring in the bottom, then pop a raspberry in the middle.
Pour the cake batter over the peach, about two thirds of the way up.
Cook at 180C for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
To get them out of the tin I simply run a knife around the edge of each cake then pop a cooling rack on the top and flip it over. Give it a bash if it is being stubborn but they should all pop out easily.
I absolutely fell in love with these little beauties, they are so colourful and vibrant, but they also taste really special. The pistachios add a slightly savoury depth which is lifted by the sweet peaches. Also as with all upside down cakes, the fruit juice adds extra moisture to the sponge.
Are you guys watching GBBO this year? Any early favourites? I change my mind with every passing week but I am really impressed with Hispter James from Shetland and Lovely Mummy/ Vicar's wife Sarah. Who will win? I think as of right now it is anyone's game, they are all amazing!

Be a mariner for a day
Sailor in his boat
Discovering all the ins and outs of the maritime life can be fascinating, and even more so in an area such as Galicia, a land whose history has been closely intertwined with the sea and all its products for thousands of years. You can enjoy a whole range of experiences in this area in northwest Spain, thanks to the tourism activities offered by various towns and villages, and companies. Here are just a few:
Professional fishing: you'll be able to set sail with genuine sailors who'll point out all the different parts of the boat, explain navigational manoeuvres, tackle, maritime legends… And the best thing is, you'll be able to cook and eat everything you catch.
The art of shellfishing: you'll see the traditional women shellfishers at work, and if you like, you can take a practical course to learn all about their daily work, how they collect the shellfish, and what are the typical shellfish to be found in each place. You'll marvel at the hair-raising way they remove the barnacles, and at the bateas (floating structures placed in the sea to "farm" molluscs) where the famous Galician mussels are produced. You'll also be able to take home a bag handmade by the netmakers (the people who make the nets, or fish with them) strung with shells from the local shellfish, or a recipe book based on the local seafood.
The atmosphere in the fish markets: you'll be able to experience the hustle and bustle of a harbour-side fish market, and you'll see how the fish –octopus and crabs for example– are weighed and labelled before auctioning.
Guided visits and traditional trades: you can visit a shipyard where you'll see the wooden skeletons of great ships. You'll have the chance to climb on board a ship which has been converted into a museum, where you can take courses on reading marine maps or maritime signalling. You'll be able to take part in themed workshops on knots and nets, or take a walking tour accompanied by a sailor who will tell you the old legends of the villages…
The sea seen from every point of view: why not visit any of the 55 lighthouses throughout the area, or ply the waters between dolphins and whales? For more detailed information on places, timetables and rates for marine tourism in Galicia, we recommend you check the official website.

Sometimes you get your cell phone bill through and it might seem a little more than what you'd been expecting, but what the heck, you pay it.
However, Solenne San Jose, from the French city of Bordeaux, would've been hard pressed to do such a thing as her bill was a lot, lot more than she'd been expecting. In fact, it had so many zeros on it that she didn't even know how to say it.
San Jose had decided to pull out of her phone contract early and as a result was told by her carrier she'd have to pay a termination fee that would be included in her final bill which would be sent in the mail.
Upon opening the bill and seeing the final fee, San Jose said she "nearly had a heart attack." Why? Because it was for €11,721,000,000,000,000 (about $15 quadrillion), that's why.
Receiving a phone bill more than 5,000 times greater than the gross domestic product of the country in which you live is really no way to start the day, so San Jose called the company, Bouygues Telecom, to suggest there'd been some kind of mistake in an effort to get it to cancel the charge made to her bank account.
But this is where things got really absurd. On her first attempt to sort the problem out, she was reportedly told that nothing could be done, and informed that "it's calculated automatically."
Another person at the company said someone would be in touch to sort out paying the amount in instalments. Eventually, an employee with some common sense realized a mistake had been made. The real bill? €117 ($151).
The company have reportedly said sorry for the error and told San Jose she won't have to pay anything at all. With the stress and hassle it must have caused, however, you might think it could've offered a more generous apology – a mistakenly written check for a couple of quadrillion dollars would've been nice.

CHL Movember trophy awarded to team captains Colby Smith and Justin Hull in a ceremony before puck drop at the Vancouver Giants game on Jan. 14, 2012. (Photo by Chris Relke)
Each November, men spanning the globe gladly toss their razors and tuck away their shaving cream. No longer is it common to see a population of barefaced gents parading the streets as men are inspired to channel their inner Tom Selleck. Women have not only grown to accept a fury lip, but to wholeheartedly embrace it. November - or Movember as we now aptly call it - is a time when men take to growing their mo for an increasingly important cause.
Originally founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, Movember raises vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives. The global movement has inspired more than 1.9 million people to participate with formal campaigns. In 2011, over 854,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world got on board, raising $125.7 million CAD.
I sat down with Justin Hull, participating Mo Bro and founding member of the MOfficials, to discuss his team's involvement. The group is comprised of linesmen and referees from the Western Hockey League who have joined forces in an effort to raise $47,700. Their goal matches the number of Canadian men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011 and 2012.
How long have you and the MOfficials been participating in Movember?
In Movember of 2010 we decided to throw a team together kind of on a whim. The Movember movement had been gaining tremendous momentum and I figured it would be an excellent opportunity to unite the staff and raise some money. In our roles on the ice, we are happiest when we are unheard; when people don't notice us. But for a cause like this, I felt we could finally have a voice and use our profiles to increase awareness to the issue of prostate cancer.
What inspired you to get involved?
I lost two grandparents to cancer. I have taken the approach of wanting cancer to be gone, no matter what type it is. Each year I have dedicated my campaign to someone close to me that has been afflicted with cancer. In my role with The MOfficials, I have worked to help educate our guys and our Twitter followers on some of the staggering numbers of this disease.
Before the Movember campaign began, men's cancers weren't talked about that much. In many ways, awareness can be equally as effective as the fundraising as it opens men's eyes to the risk factors and educates them on the steps they can take to prevent the onset of the disease.
I noticed other teams within the Canadian Hockey League have surfaced with campaigns of their own. Would you say mo fever is spreading among the hockey community?
The MOfficials have spread the fever! Last year, the CHL head office created a Movember Trophy which all member clubs competed for. We captured the title and were presented the award during a pre-game ceremony before a Vancouver Giants game. We were able to take the trophy home and allow any MOfficial to spend a day with it. It travelled far and wide and is now back safe in Toronto.
The CHL has been a huge champion of this cause and we are stoked to be competing for the title again this season. Last year, 39 teams within the CHL network raised $128,000, with The MOfficials accounting for $31,000 of that.
Appreciating there is a certain level of friendly competition that occurs, do any internal competitions emerge between fellow MOfficials?
By nature, we are an incredibly competitive group of guys. I find that as the month marches on, the internal competition usually comes in the form of the quality of the 'stache each guy is rocking. Some guys are blessed with exceptional mos, others not so much. And if you are not blessed, you will hear about it! I find that the competition really exists with bettering our efforts from last season.
I know our guys constantly keep an eye on our national ranking. As of today, we are 13th in the country of teams with more than 10 members. Our guys take a particular amount of pride in the fact that we're one of the top non-corporate teams in Canada in terms of dollars raised.
Handlebar, Fu Manchu, Chevron (made famous by Mr. Selleck) -- which mo style do you prefer?
Every Movember, the Director of Officiating for the WHL (my boss) calls me "Magnum" in reference to Tom Selleck's character from the show Magnum PI. So I own my "Chevron" and revel in the props that I get from that look.
If you could put forth a challenge to your fellow officiants in other leagues, what would it be?
We were hoping that after seeing our success over the first two years that the competitive juices of the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League officials would get them eager to challenge us. But as far as I know, there has been no response.
A great group of officials from the Ottawa area have been very supportive of our cause. We have been in touch with them and are very supportive of each other. But next year, we want the rest of the guys out east to put together a group and give us a run for our money.
Where can people get behind you to show their support for the MOfficials?
The MOfficials will be out in full force this month throughout Vancouver. We are planning an event in late Movember at Forum on Granville Street. We would love for people to come out and catch a glimpse of some upper lip sweaters and learn more about what we do on and off the ice. Many of the WHL Vancouver area MOfficials will be in attendance.
People can also head over to the Movember website and make a team donation. What a great opportunity to make amends to all the refs you've hurled abuse over the years!
Follow the MOfficials on Twitter for team news and updates on their progress. Visit http://ca.movember.com/ to find out how you can get involved or start your own campaign.

Fry me off to London!
LONDON beckons for Yamanto McDonald's supervisor Jaide Hunt, chosen from thousands of Maccas employees to represent Australia at the Olympic Games.
The one-time netballer and touch footy player may not have been destined to represent Australia in a sport, but she will do her country proud through her profession.
The 22-year-old could be flipping burgers for athletes and thousands of spectators at the world's biggest McDonald's, constructed in the middle of the Olympic Park.
The super-sized store is expected to serve 1200 customers an hour during the Games.
She will be one of 2000 McDonald's staff from across the world chosen to work in four stores at the Olympic site.
Ms Hunt said the thrill of sampling the Olympic atmosphere first hand was yet to sink in.
It was her leadership and high-quality customer service which lead to Ms Hunt's selection in February.
"I almost had tears in my eyes. The consultant was here for my review," she said. "I remember looking at the conditions last year and thinking, no way."
She will spend one of the two weeks working behind the counters before attending some Olympic events after the hard graft is finished.
The opportunity to serve some of world's best athletes will be one of the highlights of the Olympic experience for Ms hunt.
She hopes reigning 100m Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt wanders into her queue.
"Yeah, I'm stoked about that. That will be the most outstanding part, serving some of the athletes while representing McDonald's," she said.
Mixing with the international McDonalds' crew is something Ms Hunt also is looking forward to.
"That will be exciting as well, to see how differently they do things within the organisation. My friends are excited for me. They all want me to take them with me!"

U.S. stocks closed mixed Wednesday after a quiet trading day that left the indexes little changed.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 45.57 points, or 0.3 percent, to 13,124.62. It had been up 20 shortly after the opening bell. The Dow had its biggest loss in two weeks on Tuesday, falling 68.94 points.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index closed down 2.63 points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,402.89. The Nasdaq composite average closed up 1.17 at 3,075.32.
Hewlett-Packard led the Dow lower, sliding 2.2 percent after saying it would combine its printer and PC divisions to save money and improve efficiency. H-P is coping with declining sales of PCs and printer ink as smartphones, tablets and electronic document-sharing gain popularity.
Earlier Wednesday, the National Association of Realtors released a mixed report about the state of the housing market. Sales of previously occupied homes dipped last month, but the sales pace for the winter was the best in five years, NAR said. Housing has been dragging on the economic recovery; an oversupply of homes has decimated construction and other trades in many parts of the country.
Without strongly positive or negative news to move the market, stocks meandered sideways for most of the day. John Manley, chief equity strategist for Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, said the lack of market-moving events is generally good for stocks. Traders are increasingly confident that the risks hanging over the market from Europe, oil prices and China will blow over, he said.
"If it hasn't happened today, that means it might not happen tomorrow," Manley said. "My guess is, no news means a slight upward bias to the market."
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.30 percent from 2.36 percent late Tuesday. Gold and crude oil prices rose slightly.
Stocks closed lower on Tuesday after two reports signaled an economic slowdown in China. Supercharged growth in China over the past three years has helped sustain the global economic recovery. The Dow had its biggest loss since March 6.
The Dow is still up 1.3 percent this month and 7.4 percent so far this year. Other indexes are up even more for the year: The S&P 500 has gained 11.6 percent; the technology-focused Nasdaq composite 18.1 percent.
In a research report Wednesday, Goldman Sachs analysts urged investors to dump bonds and put money into stocks. The report argues that the weak economic growth in the United States and Europe is not universal, and that the 2010s could be the strongest period for world growth between 1980 and 2050.
It also argues that, while Japan's two decades of economic stagnation in the 1990s and 2000s are a tempting comparison to what the U.S. and Europe face today, Japanese stocks were far more overvalued before Japan entered its decline.
"We think it's time to say a 'long goodbye' to bonds, and embrace the 'long good buy' for equities as we expect them to embark on an upward trend over the next few years," the report says.
Among stocks making big moves:
— Baker Hughes fell 5.8 percent, the most of any company in the S&P 500, after the oil-field services company said its profit margin would fall below last quarter's as companies shift from crude to natural gas exploration. Baker Hughes faces shortages of raw materials used in its pressure pumping business, a decline in fleet usage and higher-than-expected personnel and logistics costs.
— Hartford Financial jumped 1.4 percent after the company said it would get out of the annuity business and focus on property and casualty insurance, group benefits and mutual funds. Hedge fund manager John Paulson had urged Hartford to spin off businesses.
— Green Mountain Coffee Roasters soared 10 percent. The company said it was expanding its partnership with Starbucks to sell Starbucks' Vue coffee packs for use in Green Mountain's Keurig single-cup machines. The news relieved investors concerned that Starbucks' new single-cup Verismo coffee machine might be a competitive threat to Keurig.
— FSI International, which makes equipment for producing microelectronics, jumped 5.9 percent after the company reported that orders skyrocketed in the latest quarter, helping it beat analysts' forecasts.

Michigan Democrats call on Republicans to reject candidate Kerry Bentivolio as unfit WITH VIDEO
Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer says Republican Kerry Bentivolio isn't fit to serve in Congress and he called on Republicans to urge 11th Congressional District voters to pick another candidate.
"It doesn't come down to a difference of ideas," Brewer said in a mid-afternoon conference call Tuesday. "It comes down to fitness to serve."
Bentivolio was scheduled to campaign in Troy on Tuesday afternoon as part of the Tea Party Express get-out-the-vote efforts for Republicans.
Bentivolio, 60, a retired veteran, teacher and reindeer farmer from Milford, seeks to replace U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter in the 11th Congressional District, representing much of Oakland County and part of Wayne County.
Michigan Democrats would prefer if voters picked his opponent, Syed Taj from Canton, a local officeholder and medical doctor.
Brewer referenced a 20-year-old lawsuit in which he says Bentivolio claims to be Santa Claus, and questioned his appearance in a 9/11 conspiracy theory movie and his performance as a teacher as proof Bentivolio shouldn't be elected to Congress.
Watch a report on Kerry Bentivolio found unfit to serve during today's News at Noon.
Brewer said sending Bentivolio to "one of the most dysfunctional Congresses in history" would make Michigan a "national laughing stock."
Reached by email, Bentivolio offered his response.
"I find it interesting the Dems would question the ability to serve of a veteran who served his country for 27 yrs including two overseas wars when their candidate is being funded by a radical islamic front group and the largest socialist org in America," Bentivolio wrote via his wireless Droid.
Matt Frendewey, spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party, said Brewer's criticisms indicate how weak the Democrats' own candidate is.
"Voters recognize the No. 1 issue in this election is the economy," Frendewey said. "Kerry Bentivolio is a small-business owner and understands the concerns of the 11th District.
"When you contrast his background to his opponent, Dr. Taj, who is so far left he makes the president look moderate, voters will recognize that Bentivolio is the much more responsible choice for Congress."
Bentivolio became the Republican nominee when McCotter failed to file enough valid signatures to appear on the August primary ballot. McCotter then quit Congress, creating an open seat.
An effort to run another candidate against Bentivolio as a write-in failed.
Bentivolio's and the Tea Party Express' planned Oakland County stop, scheduled for late Tuesday afternoon, was at the American Polish Cultural Center, 2975 E. Maple Road in Troy.
The Tea Party Express, established in 2009 to support conservative candidates, is on an 81-day get-out-the-vote campaign in 23 states that it considers battlegrounds in the Nov. 6 election.
Beginning in 2013, the newly drawn 11th Congressional District will represent the Oakland County communities of Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, part of Clawson, Commerce Township, Farmington, Highland Township, Lake Angelus, Lyon Township, Milford Village, Milford Township, Northville, Novi, Novi Township, part of Rochester Hills, South Lyon, Troy, Walled Lake, Waterford Township, part of West Bloomfield Township, White Lake Township, Wixom and Wolverine Lake, as well as the Wayne County communities of Canton Township, Livonia, Northville Township, Plymouth and Plymouth Township.
Bentivolio is also the Republican nominee against Democrat David Curson of Belleville to fill the few weeks remaining of McCotter's term this year in the current 11th District, which includes more of Wayne County and less of Oakland County.Contact Charles Crumm at 248-745-4649, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him on Twitter @crummc and on Facebook.

Dear editor,
January is the time for new beginnings and to take a look at the year ahead. This month is moving quickly and before it gets away I would like this opportunity to wish a Happy New Year to those of you who I haven't had the chance to say it to personally. I am expecting this to be a very busy and productive year.
Last year's elections brought dissension among the community at large. Those elections are behind us and it is time to move on and do what is best for this area. The council and I have set some objectives that we would like to reach over the next five years. You will be hearing more about those in the upcoming weeks and months.
I have personally set some goals I would like to start on immediately to get them done as soon as possible.
First and foremost I will continue to look for ways to lower the taxes for the citizens of Hardeeville along with the mileage rate. This is an issue that I have been working on the past couple of years. Last year we were able to make some headway. This year I would like to keep the momentum going.
Our institutes of learning and education are also high priorities on my list. We must forge ahead and partner with our schools to make them the best that they can be. At this time we only have elementary and middle school in the city but those are the grades in which learning begins. Our high school ages students need to be prepared to make their next step, be it workforce, military or furthering their education. Speaking of which, we have two institutes of higher learning in our immediate area. I am looking forward to more partnerships with the Technical College of the Lowcountry and The University of South Carolina Beaufort. Both of those institutions play an important role in bring jobs to our community. Businesses will not move to our area if they can't find the workforce with the proper education and or technical skills.
The new library would go right along with the educational aspects of my proposals. This is an issue that I have dedicated myself to for the past couple of years. I am still continuing the fight to bring a library that this community will be able to use proudly.
Exit 3 along Interstate 95 and the extension of the Bluffton Parkway are two transportation construction issues that are high on my priority list. Both of those projects are needed to entice businesses and jobs to our area.
As I close I would like to mention our new Designated Marketing Organization. I look forward to working with the Jasper County Chamber of Commerce. I feel confident that they will promote the City of Hardeeville and bring people and commerce to our city.
Once again I wish the City of Hardeeville and every else a prosperous New Year.
Mayor Bronco Bostick

One of the biggest downsides of not having the Harry Potter franchise around anymore is that there will be less opportunities for the greatest British actors working today to work together in one epic film franchise. But while there may not be any UK franchises like Harry Potter coming down the line yet, there are terrific smaller films like last year's Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy that will keep bringing these amazing thespians together. Now you can officially add the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Filth to that category as well.
While the movie already has James McAvoy, Jamie Bell and Alan Cumming on-board, Variety reports that the new movie has also added Jim Broadbent, Eddie Marsan, Joanne Froggatt and Imogen Poots to its cast. Based on Welsh's novel, which was released in 1998, the story follows a Scottish cop named Bruce Robertson (McAvoy) who is all kinds of bad news. He's a drug-and sex-addicted, misanthropic, corrupt cop who much prefers to play pranks on his fellow officer rather than uphold the law. The story follows the character as he tries to screw over anyone in his path on the way to a promotion so that he can win back his wife and daughter. Jon S. Baird is both writing and directing the movie.
I have been interested in this film from the get-go (you may know Welsh as the author who wrote Trainspotting), but these additions make the cast even better. Now in addition to sounding like a great bit of entertainment it now has the perfect actors to go with it. I get an awesome Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans vibe off of this film and if it is even half as good we will all be in for a treat.
