powdered chipolte differs from smoked paprika
- c
- Choconutty Aug 3, 2013 10:45 AM
How does dried, powdered chipotle differ from smoked paprika and can they be used interchangeably? I want to make chipotle chocolate sauce for ice cream and am not sure of using the chipotle in adobo sauce for this purpose. I could experiment for certain but wanted a chowhound's comment.
re: Veggo
Spanish smoked paprika comes in 3 grades of heat. Dulce or sweet is the mildest and most common. But even the picante, hot, one is mild compared to chipotle.
So a given level of heat in your sauce, the smoked paprika will contribute a lot more smokiness. So what is the chipotle chocolate sauce supposed to taste like (besides the chocolate)? A hint of heat or a hint of smokiness?
re: c oliver
Mayonnaise won't scorch an average person. Chipotles in adobo will.
Agreed w/ Veggo's comments. Chipotle powder packs way way way more heat than paprika does. Have a little taste of each one and you'll see.
Awhile back I had a recipe that called for regular chili powder. I used chipotle chili powder instead, which rendered the dish so hot it was pretty much inedible, and I like hot.
For your sauce, add a tiny bit of the chipotle in adobo, and taste. You can always add more, but you can't take away.
What would I do without my chowhounds? You are the best. I knew I would get an answer. Think I will try a bit of smoked paprika and a little bit of chili to taste. Your help is so appreciated. I like spicy and not scorch.
I think the adobo sauce is going to add flavors the powdered chipotle doesn't. I love both, and keep both on hand, but can't quite swallow the vinegar, onions, and garlic in the adobo sauce, on ice cream.
Unless you've already made it, then I'm sure it will be fine!
I had no clue about adobo sauce. No, do not think I would put this on ice cream. Will stick to chili flakes in the chocolate sauce. Many thanks once more. On another note the friend that will be sharing this plans on making chili chocolate sauce by grinding up peppers with less heat and adding to a fudge sauce. I will report the result. Not sure I will like that either but will give it a try.
re: Choconutty
Chili flakes or chili powder? I'd assumed powder.
c oliver that brings up another question from me: I could use chili, cayenne, ground red pepper or crushed red pepper which has a lot of pepper seeds. I am never certain of the difference. The Paprika I purchase in the super market is mild. I do have some smoked that is not especially hot. any clues on the difference between those "chilies?"
re: Choconutty
" I could use chili..."
By chili, do you mean chile powder, which has other seasonings in it, or do have some pure ground chili, like ground ancho, new mex or ground guajilo? Is what you have labeled mild, medium or hot? Same question about the "ground red pepper". I think something ground as opposed to something coarse would be better, and something medium.
I think there are some descriptions here
re: Shrinkrap
What you said! I have a number of Penzey's both ground and flakes and also things I get at my Latino market. I agree that powder seems the way to go for this.
Once again I thank you. The descriptions are most helpful. I am convinced it pays to shop in a name store. Buying chili powder in a generic package does not help when you want to make certain you will use the correct spice. Many thanks to the Chowhound chefs who took the time to help me. I will eat my chili chocolate sauce and raise my spoon to all of you.
re: Choconutty
And PLEASE report back. I could see that in our future :)
re: Choconutty
I don't think smoked paprika would taste very good with chocolate or sweets, personally. The smell of it reminds me of a smoked ham. Chipotle powder would probably be your best bet to experiment with.
they are completely different spices.
their primary similarity is that they have similar colors.
i guess, you could say that they are similar in that they both come from the pepper family, but that is like saying peanuts and peas are similar because they are both legumes.. . .
paulj, I live in NE PA and have no access to Mexican markets except by internet or phone. New question - how does Mexican chocolate differ from the Hershey so well known in PA or, the better chocolate sold in supermarkets or on line such as Merckens, Guittard. I love learning by the way. Any information is appreciated.
re: Choconutty
The usual 'Mexican chocolate' is sold in hexagonal tablets, and is intended for use in hot chocolate. It's a coarse chocolate, with a sugar graininess. Sweetness level is about that of bittersweet. It's flavored with cinnamon, and sometimes almond.
So basically it is cinnamon flavored cooking chocolate.
There are also instant hot chocolate mixes and syrups that immitate this taste.
In Mexican you can also buy locally ground chocolate, where the blend of cocoa beans, sugar, and spices can vary with the shop's (or customers) preferences.

Beck has announced a small set of North America live dates, the first of which will be land at the beginning of April in Santa Barbara, California. Check out the dates below.
The singer-songwriter will also be playing in Arizona, Texas, Ohio and Canada, among other locales. On July 1 Beck plays Summerstage in New York City. He's also set to appear at Coachella in Indio a couple days after his Santa Barbara show. Pre-sale tickets begin on Wednesday and will entail using a password, according to his website.
Coachella isn't the only festival Beck is playing this summer. He's also performing at Firefly in June, and Pitchfork and Forecastle in July.
Beck recently charted his 10th album on the Billboard 200. His song "Morning Phase" debuted with a little over 87,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. He's only charted higher once before, when 2005′s "Guero" debuted and peaked at No. 2.
Beck told Billboard recently that his work ethic has changed since he first began. He said, "There's always this unreachable that you're trying to get to. And you get pissed you can't get there, but that's the beauty of it. I put all my time into this, and I still feel like I'm still figuring it out. There's still more to do. When I'm playing live is when I really feel it – like there are songs missing. Like, 'This is such an incomplete picture.'" Here are the tour dates:
4/9 – Santa Barbara, Calif. (Arlington Theatre)
4/23 – Tucson, Ariz. (Rialto Theater)
4/24 – El Paso, Texas (Abraham Chavez Theatre)
6/19 – Cleveland (State Theatre)
6/20 – Columbus (Ohio, LC Pavilion)
6/24 – North Adams, Mass. (Mass MOCA)
6/25 – Montreal (Pace des Arts)
6/27 – Toronto (Sony Centre)
6/28 – Detroit (Fox Theatre)
7/1 New York (Summerstage)
Are you a fan of Beck?

The new Calgary Farmers' Market at Blackfoot Centre will open tomorrow
I know there are always mixed reviews about this market...but it will finally open tomorrow at 11 am. There are a lot of new vendors who were not at the Currie Barracks location. Give them a try. There is lots of parking on the east side of the building with entrances from the SE and NE corner of the location. Many of the vendors did not have other locations to sell out of while the construction was ongoing (and on going and on going) so I am sure they would greatly appreciate any support. They will be open on Thursdays YEAR ROUND from 11 am to 7 pm and then on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am to 5 pm.
Calgary Farmers' Market
510 77th AVE SE, Calgary, AB T2H 1C3, CA
re: AriaDream
I e-mailed them and got a reply. They're open on Good Friday! I'm definiely going. :)
I think this will be an interesting new market and hopefully there will be less misrepresentation than some of the other markets. There are too many people pretending to be farmers.
Check out Kingsland Markets video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikrd5U... . At 1:15 of the video a market spokesperson claims that everyone must "make it, bake it or grow it" to be in Kingsland market.
That's funny because Prairie Farms has no farms and Kings Orchard is only a myth as far as I've seen.
If you go to the market ask the vendor where there farm/kitchen is and see what they say.
Good Luck CFM, lets keep it real.
re: hippiehouse
It's not a new market, it is CFM with a new location and some new vendors. Count on the same high, or higher, prices.
re: foodkarma
Just to clarify...in order for a market to be an "approved" farmers market by AFMA - 80% of the vendors must "make it, bake it or grow it". Both Kingsland and the new CFM fit these guidelines (Crossroads does not). For sure the market will be open Good Friday and all weekend. On Easter Sunday - there may be a few vendors who will not be open - but most will be. I think the best move was making the Thursday hours (11-7) year round.
re: katidyd
unfortunately, that "regulation" is about as believable as an "organic" sticker on a piece of fruit.
re: katidyd
How does "making it" or "baking it" qualify as farming? Are knick-knacks produce?
I'm confused.
re: foodkarma
Until I can get some more Gull Valley, Red Hat tomatoes have been tiding me over. They're much better than the usual bland grocery store boxed tomato.
re: 23skidoo
I'm lucky I go back and forth between Calgary and Edmonton. Gull Valley Greenhouses is also at the Edmonton Strathcona Farmer's Market.... but still miss it in Calgary. Will have to give Red Hat a try but definitely have problems with the "bland grocery store" tomatoes... Gull Valley turned me off almost all other tomatoes.
I had a chance to drop in to the the new market yesterday aft....
The Fratello coffee shop has arguably the best location in the entire place. I had a delicious hand poured drip Nicaraguan coffee. A great way to enjoy the subtle nuances of different roasts from all over the world. They're apparently going to feature a handful of different coffees every week. This place is going to be great I think.
The market is big and spacious with high ceilings and has a pretty nice feel to it for a place that is brand new.
There are tons of vendors here but I'll just mention a couple that caught my eye...
Gull valley tomatoes has a great stand and their produce looked amazing.
Silver Sage beef had some really good looking (and well marbled for organically raised) steaks. They also had a separate stand specializing in burgers which I'd love to try.
There's a bison speciality stand that sell everything for Bison steaks to chorizo to pepperoni. I was impressed at how good some of their samples tasted.
To be honest almost all of the produce I saw looked great but I didn't have the time to go through it all and check prices.
There is a new smoke house BBQ joint that wasn't quite open......looking very froward to this.
Los chilitos has a mexican stand that serves prepared foods. To be honest it looked fairly pricey for tacos.
There is another creperie that was quite popular.....they also serve some kind of baguette sandwiches.
There were at least 3 or 4 sausage vendors.....there should be a sausage for everybody here!
All in all I think the new CFM will be a great place. Unfortunately I think prices will likely be on par with the old CFM. There are so many places that I didn't mention....I look forward to trying most of em in the near future
re: johnjohnson78
I agree with this review! The market itself looked great and I think it will be even better in the coming weeks, especially when all the BC summer fruits come in.
However, the parking is definitely going to be a situation. I tried to go on Friday. I entered via Blackfoot and was stuck in a line up on a one way street for 20 mins. When I finally got to the parking lot, it was packed. It's WAY too small so I really don't know how it's going to work out once the summer crowds hit the market.
I tried to go again at 4:00 on Saturday and entered via Heritage Dr... no problems and I found a parking spot without any problem. However, it was closing an hour later so the selection was limited. Lucky for me, I had already been to Kingsland Farmers Market on Friday ;)
re: cellophane_star
I took this posting to heart when I headed down to CFM this morning (Thursday).
I was there at 11:01, and the parking was a nightmare. The front lot had guys directing traffic and there wasn't a spot to be had. The "back" lot, which is on the north side of the building is said to have 600 spots (according to CFM), but IMO that is rather optimistic. I would guess this location has 20% of the parking compared with the Currie Barracks if you allow for their overflow parking options. Yikes.
I think I'll be getting hubby to drop me off and wait while I run. Likely not exactly what CFM had in mind I imagine.
re: nutellaluvr
Agreed, I think their claim of increased parking spots is total B.S.
Maybe they're including the parking spots within a mile radius?
A question: Since when is a market called a "Farmer's Market" when 1/3 of the space is taken up by fast food and related seating?
re: Scary Bill
Hubby also mentioned that more of the retail space seems to be taken up with prepared food offerings; he was thinking the overall space was smaller than at Currie Barracks.
Also mentioned was how thrilled the nearby businesses will likely be with CFM customers taking spots in their parking lots across the street, hence the mile radius comment may come true.
I am however just glad to be able to get Gull Valley tomatoes. For that I can run in while someone hangs.
re: nutellaluvr
There are, as you point out some very good things one can get at CFM, though to me it is more like the CFB (Calgary Food Boutiques). To me, a farmer's market is, well, farmers. And I think that <5% are actual farmers. And they are usually temporary setups around harvest time. Heck, Superstore is more of a farmers market.
re: nutellaluvr
Broxburn at Kingsland Market sells tomatoes that are on par (if not BETTER THAN) Gull Valley tomatoes. My husband bought some GV tomatoes last weekend and I did a side by side comparison.... it was very close. I personally choose Broxburn though. They also sell larger beefsteak , cocktail & heirloom tomatoes, not just cherry.
In the past, I've seen GV tomatoes for sale at Sunnyside Market in Kensington.
re: cellophane_star
While CFM was closed, I tried out Kingsland and Broxburn specifically. Gorgeous swiss chard!
I also made a special trip to Sunnyside for GV tomatoes back in March, and sadly they only had cherry tomatoes (no signs indicating they were GV and the staff was - let's call them unresponsive) @ $8.95/lb. Yikes.
Happily, the cocktail tomatoes I picked up yesterday from GV @ CFM were outstanding as usual. May have to go back before the weekend is out for more!
re: Scary Bill
I quite agree. The food is delicious but it seems like there's fewer craft vendors. Does anyone know where the guy selling the silk paintings has gone? I couldn't find him, but it was so crowded when I went that I could hardly find anything. Oh, the sandwiches at Taste of Quebec are to die for!
re: AriaDream
Sandwiches? Sounds like ToQ has expanded. Good for them!
re: maplesugar
ToQ? I will have to give them a try!
Back to CFM Saturday morning for more GV tomatoes, but I arrived at 8:30 in an attempt at good parking. Success! I was banking on Fratello being open and I could wander with it as vendors opened. The latter part of the plan worked, but Fratello's Espresso was (dare I say), nasty. Acidic. Head-shakey stuff. And I like Ristretto. I had enquired what variety/type of chocolate they used for their Mocha and the girl said it was a chocolate flavoured pump syrup. Hence the reason I passed on that one. And I had such high hopes. Back to P&S!
Finally made it out yesterday (Sat) at about 2pm.
We took Heritage to the Market and went into the parking from what I assume was the back way. Found parking right away (when we left, there were lots of spots around as well).
Walking in, I was struck by two thoughts - one is that the new market seemed quite a big larger and the second was a feeling of comfort as I immediately saw some familiar faces from the owner and staff of Gull Valley and Bob and the crew at Simple Simon's.
Walk around, I did an inventory comparison of the vendors to the old CFM... MOST of the vendors we frequented were at the new market - Gull Valley, Simple Simon's, Cucumber Man, Spragg's, Missing Link, Sylvan Star Cheese, Alberta Beef Bacon guy, Stock and Sauce Co., and Innisfail Growers. The one place that I loved who hasn't come to the new CFM is Sunworks/Blush Lane. They had opened a store in Aspen and are opening their another location on 17th Ave.
Knowing that my core vendors have mostly stayed, it seems the new vendors are more prepared foods places and I'm fine with that. I know there's criticism about the commercialization of CFM and people feeling like there are more "fast food" vendors than "farmers" but personally I liked the variety at the old CFM and am glad they seem to have maintained a good selection of vendors and producers. I also like the hours of CFM and having the flexibility to go over 4 days, would prefer this to many other farmers' markets that are open one day from 8-noon. Having built relationships with the owners of my fav vendors for the past few years, I know they are sourcing local ingredients as much as possible.
The new CFM could do with more seating though. The food court although advertised to be bigger was full and unlike the old CFM there wasn't much seating spread around the other parts of the market. We did try to have a sandwich at the new smokehouse - Big D's. Maybe because it was so new to them but found there were several service issues. Firstly, the line was moving molasses slow - the couple in front of us and the couple behind us were also complaining about the time. People were leaving the line. When we got close to the front we were advised they were out of beef brisket and some other items.
We decided to go to Taste of Quebec for a sandwich instead. They offered a lettuce, tomato sandwich (with produce from GV) and a smoked meat sandwich. We ordered the smoke meat and both found it to be mehh. It was average in terms of quality of meat and quantity of meat... not spectacular like Dunn's or Schwartz' in Montreal. The poutine looked great but they were out of fries when we got there.
Am definitely excited to try out other food stands... Silver Sage has a burger stand that smelled amazing.
I went to the CFM this Friday and had no problem parking. There is a whole lot on the east side of the building which is in 2 parts, separated by a school. The south lot was very busy but the north lot was only 40% full. The entrance to to market from the North lot was still being completed however so you still have to enter from the south east entrance. I don't see parking being an issue in the long term. It's nice to have painted lines this time around. I also think there is a back way via Heritage and Deerfoot Meadows but I couldn't figure that out.
To me the new CFM is a step up in class from the old one with a head spinning variety of delicious looking prepared foods. Probably the best place in Calgary to go for lunch. The prices are not cheap but I think they are fair. Easily the best market in Calgary and probably Canada.
I do have a problem with people thinking a farmers market should be super cheap. Come on have some respect for your farmer and processor! If your into quality then go to the CFM, if you want cheap there are lots of Walmart's in Calgary.
Looks like they are still having some growing pains but if you remember when the Currie Barracks CFM opened in 2004, then this is many times better. It will also be there for the next 20 years at least so I feel secure in shopping there. I was also surprised that it took less time to get there from the Northwest on Deerfoot than the old one took with Chowchild. Only 20 min from the North end compared to 30 min to the old one.
It is missing a few important vendors from the old market but I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the summer and fall harvest. After all we do live in Alberta and there's not much growing here obviously.
The kids area is also a huge hit. Drink coffee and let the little ones work off some energy. It's worth a trip just to wear them out.
Welcome back into my life CFM, see you soon.
re: hippiehouse
Is Tutti Fruitti one of the missing vendors? I'm not seeing them on the list.
re: hippiehouse
"and probably Canada"
You've gotta travel a bit more, say to Granville Market in Vancouver, Kensington or St Lawrence in Toronto, the temporary summer REAL Farmers markets all over Mississauga with produce from Niagara and Holland Marsh, or the Boyce Market in Fredericton or City Market in St Johns.
None will rival CFM for fast food though.
re: Scary Bill
"and probably Canada"
i threw up in my mouth a little bit reading that, too. unfortunately, seems some are trying to advance particular agendas with their comments on this site, whatever they may be. hrmph.
re: nonlinear
Indeed... most of the Farmer's Markets I went to in Ontario were wee little things, but I can't imagine that this one is one of the best in Canada. Not a hope. Ontario and Vancouver must have better.
re: AriaDream
I was there on Saturday and was not very impressed. As for the best in Canada I dont even think its the best in southern Alberta or even Calgary. Even the food i had there wasn't great. I eat at the BBQ place and had the brisket. I know its a fatty cut of beef but what I had was almost inedible.
re: hippiehouse
Ouch going to disagree with you there its a so so market but nothing compared to granville island in Vancouver they actual get framers produce. It is what we have in Calgary which is okay but not cheap or has a big wow factor.
We went last week-end parking was terrible, once inside lots of pre-cooked food, over priced, they somehow have forgotten to invite the farmers, even this early in season I saw no space for them to set up, unless it's outdoors in the parking lot and then I just repeat my first comment. Crossroads, Millerville when season starts are far better, cheaper alternatives,
re: olderwiser
Even at the old CFM they filled in farmer spaces with other vendors during off season. I'm sure they can't leave half of the market empty to "leave space" for the farmers. I am hopeful that it will be a true farmer's market for our ridiculously short veggie season.
re: Merry113
^^LOL, CFM has never been a "true farmer's market." it's a yuppie fest! the silly honey booth at CFM even sells Burt's Bees products... gimme a break! and although kingsland tried to get away from that, they ended up being a CFM clone (albeit a more amateur one). i live walking distance from both markets, but never visit either except for my occasional trip to CFM where I stock up on chicken sausages from Missing Link (awesome). it's hard to walk through there, though, with all the yuppies and soccermoms paying exorbitant prices for wal-mart produce and poorly executed fast food.
re: nonlinear
It was a real farmer's market for the first couple of years, then it got really, really expensive and crowded with vendors that have nothing to do with local.
re: nonlinear
ughh...If you don't like it...don't go there!
I'm not going to do my full week's shopping there, but if I'm in the neighborhood (and can find parking) I'll stop in for:
- Wild rice & green onion bread from Yum bakery
- Ground beef from Silver Sage
- Root veggies & asparagus from Innisfail Growers (I wish Lund's was still at the CFM)
- Tomatoes & basil from the Cucumber man
- Pasture pork from Spragg's
- Sylvan Star Gouda
- Good coffee from the Analog Cafe
So, there are some value/quality stops if you know where to look for them. And, let's face it...if you are posting on Chowhound, you're likely a yuppie of some stripe. I'll agree that some of the vendors are just place ridiculous (the wing place?!?!) but take it for what it is, make the best of it (like Cochinita Pibil tacos from Los Chilitos) and let the yuppies and soccermoms enjoy their morning at the market.
re: Dennisimo
The only "voice" CFM will listen to is your pocket book, don't go, spend your money somewhere else and either they change or adapt or we have another Eau Claire. As for me, my decision on where to shop is based on quality, price and selection. CFM is hit and miss on 2 out of 3, add in the parking issue, I won't be back soon as they simply don't offer me anything I can't find elsewhere.
re: KcM
I don't go there for the reasons I listed above, but that doesn't mean that I can't have an opinion about the place. i can get most anything the CFM offers for 1/4 of the price at walmart down the hill... including the same little stickers that come on the tomatoes. also, sometimes the whole "local" trend can be a bad thing, in terms of the economy AND the environment. something to think about, anyhow.
re: nonlinear
Yes there are vendors who import produce from who knows where, but there are also vendors who grow their own. To suggest every vendor is reselling Walmart produce is just plain wrong.
re: cdn
I'm not going to get drawn into an argument about semantics or someone's personal axe to grind (on either side).
I'll echo olderwiser's sentiment...Vote with your pocket book!
Shop with your conscious.
Support whoever you think to be sustainable/local/affordable/whatever.
But try to bring something to the conversation here other than just "that place sucks...I'm too authentic to shop there...all they sell is factory food...or, they're the best thing since sliced bread"...
So, where do you go for community supported agriculture in/around Calgary?
From the sounds of things, I'll have to check out the Millarville this summer. What else am I missing?
re: KcM
1) You need to know what grows in Alberta and when.
2) if you're serious about being local, then things like coffee aren't at all local.
3) You need to draw a line between stuff that's made here from ingredients from all over (coffee, nuts, clothing (cotton doesn't grow here), etc). I myself don't consider a vendor "local" if they do this. And certainly vendors like the seafood guy - hey, great that he's there, but there is no way he belongs in a farmer's market.
4) Although the problem is endemic at all the farmer's markets here, I find the problem especially egregious at CFM since it seems that the majority of vendors and real estate there is devoted to products that I don't consider local.
re: KcM
If you want really fresh local produce, join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). There are quite a few in Calgary with an assortment of philosophies and products. I joined Thompson Small farm last year and joined Eagle Creek this year. I really like the people behind Thompson but my family doesn't eat chard or kale so I decided to try someone new this year.
The growing season in Calgary doesn't really get started for anyone other than the greenhouse tomato/cucumber growers until much later in the summer.
re: Merry113
Yeah the growing season here is short and unpredictable. The Asparagus Festival was just this weekend. Edgar Farms - who iirc sells with Innisfail Growers at CFM - sees their first asparagus anywhere from the first week of May to the last. We were at the festival last year and it was snowing, this year sun. Go figure.
re: maplesugar
That was the point of my reply before. I just don't understand how people think a market will be full of farmers in Calgary in January. I don't have any unrealistic love of CFM but I want people to be fair in their dis'ing of the place. No market could EVER be full of farmers in Calgary in January.
re: Merry113
to be honest, i could care less if it's full of farmers. (i don't agree with some of the reasoning behind this recent "local" trend.) i just think it's silly that people recommend and support CFM when in many cases you can get the EXACT SAME stuff down the hill at walmart for 25% of the price. $25 for a tortilla press? are you effing kidding me? i bought mine for $10 at a latin store in calgary.
re: nonlinear
Good discussions.
I would not be quite so offended if they simply changed the name of the market , removing 'Farmer's", because farmers it ain't.
I like "Calgary's Most Expensive Market and Food Court" at it is most appropriate in my books.
I'd still go a couple of times a year, though Crossroads has me hooked, especially at harvest times.
re: Scary Bill
"I like 'Calgary's Most Expensive Market and Food Court' at it is most appropriate in my books."
^^i LOLed at this!
re: nonlinear
It's pretty well impossible to eat 100% local.
re: Merry113
Most farmer's markets don't actually open until June... CFM could just rename themselves during the non-growing months...
re: Shazam
I don't expect to see "local farmers" in April/May however what I did see was not to my liking, overly large & expensive food court, to many venders selling "Gourmet" pre-cooked, pre-packaged foods. I hope you are right, I hope they let the vendors selling local or BC produce in, however can you really see any of the current vendors moving out after just 3 months! and right before the busier summer season? My guess it's into the parking lot they go and that just compounds the biggest problem, no parking and terrible traffic flow around site.
So finally made a trek over to the new location and yes parking is needs a lot of work. But overall it feels more like a strip mall with some nice food vendors. Not sure what the plans are for the summer but if you are looking for just fresh produce I would goto Crossroads Market as from my experience they sell same stuff and quality.
re: Budca
I had a chance to wander through this market again for the first time since it first opened. I have to admit that my initial excitement for the new space has worn off somewhat, and I found myself leaving a little bit disappointed.
While strolling through the isles I noticed some really expensive produce and a variety of pricey herbs, flowers, and pre made meals. (Simple Simon is still very generous with samples and very reasonably priced).
Like others have mentioned, there are plenty of food vendors but very few of them had me pulling out my wallet and I was pretty hungry. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a handful of these mediocre vendors to call it quits within a year or so. I mean no offence......and I can't really put a finger on it but I suppose I was just hoping there might be some more unique and really well executed foods available. It seems like people are getting the feeling that the CFM is more of a gourmet food court than a real market. I'd be OK with that if the food offerings were actually top notch......I'm not at all convinced that they are, however.
re: johnjohnson78
Just my $.02 but I'd be more inclined to make CFM a destination if it was a bit more progressive in attracting some of the trendy "street food" type vendors. Think food cart and food truck food with a bit of creativity like you will find in Vancouver, Toronto, and a loty of US cities. Calgary doesn't have a climate to allow this type of food vendor to make enough dough in our short summer season, but ithey'd be ideal at CFM (emphasis of FOOD rather than FARMERS), with food offerings like Korean tacos, fish tacos, Japadog, ramen, BBQ, Poutine, Aussie meat pies with mushy peas, etc., etc.I know some of these are there, but they are not (as I recall from my one visit) as creative as I've found street vendors to be in the aforementioned cities, not to mention usually much more expensive. (I know cart costs are lower)
I've derided CFM in the past for not being as much of a FARMERS market as I'd like it to be, but I'd sing it's praises as a FOOD destination if they were a bit more creative in this way.
re: Scary Bill
Agreed. The "farmer's market" food vendors in Calgary are in some ways filling in the role of gourmet food carts in warmer cities.
re: 23skidoo
It appears it didn't take very long for the first vendor to drop out...the General Store closed on the weekend. But - according to Swerve - Blush Lane will be coming back to the CFM and occupying the vacant area where the GS was. Welcome back Rob!...can't wait for the white peaches.
re: katidyd
Thanks, Yes we are back, although I will be at the orchard in Keremeos BC for the next 3 months. I'll send some goodies back.
re: blushlane
When are you "officially" open?
re: katidyd
We actually opened this past weekend. It will take a couple of weeks to get things ironed out but we will be ready for our BC summer fruit.
re: katidyd
White peaches will be in this weekend.
re: blushlane
Thank you - a perfect weekend for a white sangria...and I need a few for the rumtopf as well.
re: Scary Bill
That is exactly what I was thinking. Just got home from a week in Seattle and I can't even begin to talk about how great it was to have so many innovative and delicious food options.
re: johnjohnson78
Just returned from Vancouver. Ate several times from the food trucks there, a food option the city recently allowed to expand. All CFM has to do is look at what these trucks are offering and seek a few more vendors who would be willing to produce the same types of food. Some of it is relatively standard fare, like chicken on a ciabatta with carmelised onions, but it is so well executed that both Mrs Scary and myself felt it was, with distance, the best chicken sandwich we'd ever had. Then there were the Korean tacos, deep fried rice balls, oyster po-boys, Japadogs, etc. Oh, and btw, the chicken sandwich guy ran out by mid afternoon four days in a row.
Has anyone tried the Chinese dumpling place? We were there on a Saturday right before the market closed and they were already shut down.
We were in a rush to grab dinner before they shut so I can't comment on the whole place but it was convenient being able to buy from the Main Dish rather than drive to Bridgeland and we got cupcakes across the aisle.
re: sharonanne
If you're referring to Shanghai Fine Food (Henry and Jean) - fabulous dumplings. They take great care with their food - have never been disappointed.
re: katidyd
Oh, do they have soup dumplings or soup buns? I'd make a special trip just for those!
re: sharonanne
I ordered most of their dim sum dishes and I found it below average. Some dumplings were dry or flavourless. Perhaps I ordered at the wrong time/day. Just my two cents.
A couple quick takes on a couple less conventional stalls from when I was there 2nd week after opening:
Wildfire Wing Co - a friend and I had wings for breakfast, which actually isn't has awesome as it sounds. Really nothing special about this place at this point in time - wings were barely better than your average pub, and just with sauce added after cooking - and all the sauces we tried were quite weak. In fact, I thought they made a mistake with the "teriyaki wasabi" wings as I couldn't taste the wasabi at all (they said others had said previously that the wasabi was overpowering, so YMMV). I think only hawaiian BBQ was worth noting. Really kinda expensive too for stall food, considering there was nothing really to suggest that they use high-quality ingredients.
Mr. Esfihas - I hadn't heard of these things before, but apparently esfihas are a Brazilian mainstay. They are cute little dough circles with either savoury or sweet toppings - I had the dulce de leche (which evoked fond memories of my vacationing in Argentina) and my friend had a couple of the savoury ones. It's pretty easy to drop a few bucks on these for a quick snack, though they are quite small. Nice branding though!

Coal-fired power plants are among the top carbon polluters in North Carolina, emitting millions of tons of unchecked and unregulated carbon dioxide each year. These emissions contribute to global climate change, which is already putting at risk the health and welfare of North Carolinians, from impacting agricultural yields to raising waters along the coast to increasing the likelihood of severe weather events.
North Carolina is in a strong position to transition to more sustainable and cleaner power sources. Solar projects have increased dramatically, and the potential for offshore wind energy is greater in the Tar Heel State than any other mid-Atlantic coastal state.
Coal-Power Plant Facts
- 3 of the 50 dirtiest U.S. power plants are in North Carolina: Belews Creek, Roxboro and Marshall plants.
- North Carolina's power plants are responsible for 51% of the carbon pollution in the state.
- In 2011, the Belews Creek plant near Winston-Salem was the state's biggest global warming polluter, emitting carbon pollution equivalent of 2.9 million cars.
Public health and safety
North Carolina has experienced record heat waves and droughts over the past decade, including:
- The summer of 2010 was the warmest on record since 1895, with the statewide mean summer temperature more than 2˚F higher than the previous warmest summer of 2007.
- The worst drought in more than 100 years was in 2007.
- The worst tornado outbreak was in 2011.
These severe conditions have direct, dire consequences for North Carolinians. Increasing temperatures can threaten human health, particularly among the elderly who may suffer heat stress and worse. Heat also exacerbates other forms of pollution, and can trigger asthma and allergies. Floods can kill people and destroy private property, as well as contaminate water supplies and carry disease. And drought threaten the the availability of water resources, reducing surface waters and depleting aquifers.
Agriculture concerns
Between 1996 and 2006, no fewer than 14 tropical storms and hurricanes caused agricultural damages totaling $2.4 billion in North Carolina. Changes to rain patterns and water availability lead to decreasing yields for farmers, while drought conditions and heat can lead to livestock stress and mortality. Severe weather can also trigger tree mortality, which can greatly impact the state's tree growers and wood products industry, and harm wildlife.
Our vulnerable coast
Seventy-one percent of North Carolina's coastline is at high or very high vulnerability to sea level rise. The implications are dire — the Outer Banks could become completely submerged, destroying the livelihood and way of life for many North Carolinians, and dramatically reducing the state's tourism revenue. Further, increasing salinity would threaten drinking water supplies in many parts of eastern North Carolina.
In August 2007, North Carolina adopted a Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (REPS) and in doing so became the 25th in the nation, and the first state in the southeast to enact such a policy.
Carbon Pollution Limits for Power Plants: This year, the EPA will issue rules for new plants limiting the amount of carbon pollution that can be emitted from new coal fired power plants and it will trigger the state creating rules for existing plants, known as the 111(d) rules. In North Carolina there is already pushback. In a letter to the EPA Secretary John Skvarla questions the federals agencies authority to regulate carbon pollution from power plants. A WRI study shows that North Carolina can reduce its power sector CO2 emissions 29 percent below 2011 levels by 2020 using policies and infrastructure already in place. Moreover, the state could achieve even greater long-term emissions reductions—as well as significant cost savings—by expanding existing programs.
Energy Efficiency for N.C.: In North Carolina utilities have expanded energy efficiency programs in recent years, their levels of investment and performance, however, still remain below the national average. Reducing the amount of energy required by improving energy efficiency is recognized as one of the most influential actions available, and is especially beneficial to rural customers.
Promoting solar and wind: North Carolina is ideally located due to our geographical location, weather, and landscape to take advantage of the abundant solar resources — with the state having as many as 250 sunny days a year. NPD Solarbuzz, a solar energy market research and analysis firm, recently ranked North Carolina the second-highest state in terms of solar capacity in the country, losing only to California. However, recent attacks on solar by the power industry threaten to undo the solar advances in the state.
Also due to its geographical location, North Carolina has more off-shore wind than any other state on the Atlantic coast and gives us a prime opportunity to develop our wind resources. Just a fraction of the wind energy resources off North Carolina's coast would help the state meet 20% of its energy needs. Legislation introduced in 2011 could create 2,500 MW of offshore wind turbines. It is estimated that developing that amount of offshore wind would create over 10,000 construction jobs and 2,000 long-term operations and maintenance jobs, in addition to jobs associated with future manufacturing exports to other markets. Since North Carolina is currently the second largest importer of coal in the US, this would reduce the amount of money leaving the state each year to purchase fossil fuels.

The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.

Watch: Snoop Lion Performs 'Lighters Up' at SXSW 2013
Snoop Dogg was "reincarnated" into his reggae alter-ego Snoop Lion at SXSW 2013. The rapper performed at the packed Viceland venue on a bill with Major Lazer and veteran artist Mavado.Police shut down the show after it reached capacity, making it a hot ticket.
Snoop started the show by going back to his gangsta rap roots. Gunshots and old footage of him talking about hip-hop with photos of Tupac flashed on the screen behind him. He explained how his transition into Snoop Lion was inspired by the positive force in reggae only to be interrupted by a dirty boombastic reggae beat that made the walls shake. Snoop had officially been reincarnated with new Snoop Lion lyrics preaching "east side, west side, north side, south side being unified..." Watch Snoop Lion perform "Lighters Up" with Mavado at his SXSW 2013.

Cool, thanks.

Looking back through this thread, it looks like you finally settled on the color and everything around 25 January. I placed my order for an Artist 408 about two weeks after that, and I was told a week ago that mine was scheduled to be done 12 April. However, my dealer informed me today that they encountered a "delay" (I didn't get any more info than that), and it's now scheduled for completion on 5 May. Perhaps this "delay" affected yours as well?
- Jason
Thanks Jason.
If mine indeed is sitting in setup, I am not sure how long they sit there.
Like are they hanging from the ceiling like on an assembly line, then the next one in line gets taken down, adjusted, cleaned, then sent to shipping?
If I get some serious gas down the road for a Tremonti, I will look into the dealers that advertise here that have a large inventory on hand.
Then the wait is like a week or less to get it to me.
My dealer only stocks a few Maryland guitars, and probably less than five SEs at a time.
Hence why I had to order all of my others with the exception of my sons SE Semi-Hollow Custom which they had two in stock.
Round trip Plane ticket to Maryland from Washington = $800?
Hotel for long weekend = $300?
Admission to 2013 PRS Experience, Touring the PRS factory, Having access to hundreds of Maryland made guitars, meeting a bunch of friendly fellow musicians, vendors, artists and PRS staff, getting the best deal possible on just about any PRS product available = PRICELESS
If you need a PRS fix before that I highly recommend Wild West Guitars in California, go to their website for a great selection of in stock models and call Doug Diamond at Wild West, he's taken great care of me on multiple occasions.
Now that 20 years of wishing and dreaming is about to become a reality for me, I've found that I've got the bug so badly that I'm already sorting out my next PRS before I've even laid eyes or hands on my first! My band does mostly acoustic rock shows, and we like to push the limits a little by trying to arrange actual rock songs on an acoustic. But playing guitar solos from 80's and 90's rock songs can get downright awful on an acoustic. I modded a Schecter with the LR Baggs piezo bridge and preamp, but it's crapped out on me and has just never sounded that great. To that end, I've got my eyes on the HB II, hoping to snag one of those sooner rather than later, as it'll become my primary gigging guitar alongside my koa Takamine! :D
No updates, I do not expect any from my dealer, so I am not going to bug him.
He will call me the day it comes in.
I have tried in the past checking with PRS Customer Service, but they have zero access to shipping details so they tell me.
I know what you mean about thinking about the next one while still waiting on the current one.
Still have no word on the guitar.
Dealer has sent in emails/texts on Monday with no answer back yet.
It would sure be nice to know if it has shipped or still sitting in the factory.
Meanwhile, here sits a gorgeous one with a 10 top setup just like the one I ordered with a tremolo and pattern thin neck carve, just not the color I ordered.
Hi Corey,
Have your dealer call the factory. The outside sales rep the dealer is contacting doesn't work at the factory and has no idea when or what has shipped. Have your dealer call the factory and speak to his inside sales guy. The inside sale person can give your dealer an ETA over the phone.
Thanks Shawn.
I have asked my dealer to call his inside sales guy and not the rep, but for some reason he only tries to get a hold of the latter.
Not sure why he has not tried to get in touch with Rick.
Frustrating yes :D
I was hoping to have it by my birthday which is next Monday.
How about this one?
Ooooh that's nice ... the hybrid hardware looks great with that finish: yours? :)
Raven, making me salivatate here.
OK, so I sent off an email to my dealer earlier this morning to ask him to please call his sales guy, and not the rep.
I just spoke with my dealer, but he has not opened up my email yet, but I told him he needs to call the sales guy, and he will in the morning since it is past 3 PM in Maryland now.
His rep called him today and said a guy told him my guitar is fantastic looking, and it should ship next week, and that it is still in the setup department.
Well we were told this two weeks ago too, so my dealer really needs to talk with the sales guy and not his rep.
If it does ship next week, I will not see it until mid May or so.
Dealer asked the rep if he had a pic of it, but since the rep is not there, of course not.
My dealer tried calling his sales guy at PRS today, no answer.
He will try again on Monday...
Gotta call my dealer today and see if he got any info, did not hear from him yesterday.
Could mean his sales guy Rick is out for awhile, not sure.
Anyways...just found another 408 video that I had not seen before that was put up last month with Paul demoing it at Sweetwater.
Hey Corey -
Really hoping you get some good news today, man! Mine was scheduled for May 5th (according to my dealer); if I haven't heard anything from him by Wednesday, I'll be calling in. I've got my fingers crossed for you!!!
Thanks man, frustrating when even my dealer can get no info.
Hope yours makes it in.

Raspberry Pork Tenderloin
"I altered the original version of this recipe by substituting spreadable fruit for some of the butter," reveals Kathleen Boulanger of Williston, Vermont. "I've found this is a good way to lighten up any pork dish...and it improves the taste, too!"
2 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter
3 tablespoons 100% raspberry spreadable fruit
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
Cut tenderloin into eight slices, about 1-1/4 in. thick. Sprinkle
with lemon-pepper and cayenne. In a large nonstick skillet, cook
pork in butter over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or
until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
Add sauce ingredients to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes
or until bubbly and slightly thickened, scraping to loosen browned
bits. Serve over pork. Yield: 2 servings.

5 ounces cooked pork with 2 tablespoons sauce equals 276 calories, 9 g fat (4 g saturated fat), 121 mg cholesterol, 327 mg sodium, 11 g carbohydrate, 1 g fiber,

Cherrysauce MD Julia Dimambro not happy with ?hypocritical? decision.
Apple's crackdown on iPhone apps with adult content continues to cause waves within the mobile industry, with Cherrysauce founder Julia Dimambro the latest to speak out.
"It's hypocritical: it seems Apple are happy to continue with what they consider to be big respected brands such as Sports Illustrated and Playboy," she says.
"However, their whole reasoning for pulling all adult apps was because of the complaints they claim they were receiving from women. If this is the case, where is the difference between a bikini or lingerie-clad Playboy model, and one that doesn't come embedded in a branded app?"
Dimambro says there is "absolutely no sound, moral or valid reason for targeting bikini apps specifically", and slams Apple's "hysterical and unfounded reaction" to complaints from iPhone users about the content found on its App Store.
Cherrysauce, of course, is an adult mobile content provider that distributes material that's a good deal stronger than the apps that have been banned by Apple.
However, Dimambro says that softer material is increasingly hard to tell apart from mainstream advertising and content.
"Is today's women really going to get her knickers in a twist in an iphone app where the boobs jiggle about?" she says, before attacking the wider attitude of mobile gatekeepers – not just Apple – towards adult content compared to, say, music videos.
"I often sit astonished in front of pop videos of girls gyrating in tiny hot-pants and sticking their buttock-exposed behinds into the cameras. Yet on the same day, I'll have content refused for distribution in the US on account of the model's knickers 'riding up' a little."
However, Dimambro says she's particularly surprised at Apple's decision to ban soft adult apps, given its stand in support of sexual freedom in the past – for example, its $100,000 donation to the anti-Proposition 8 campaign in California, which fought plans to outlaw same-sex marriages.
"There is no doubt in my mind that the emerging alternatives to the App Store will benefit greatly from this ridiculous decision," she says, predicting that Apple's rivals could offer adult apps without worrying about the explicitness of the content.
"Apps by their very nature should be immersive, fun and engaging. Therefore, content doesn't even have to be explicit in this scenario because the level of interaction possible with apps - especially for touch screen handsets - can provide all the titillation, suggestion and flirtation the heart desires."
By the way, that's not Julia in the picture - it's a sample from Cherrysauce's oeuvre. In case you were wondering.
Cherrysauce isn't the only adult firm complaining about Apple's ban. Steve Shields from Katina Leisure tells ME that the ban is already having an effect on adult content providers.
"We just lost 150,000 unique Affiliate visitors a day from a single client who had all of their Apple apps pulled with no warning," he says.
However, he says the loss is a small dent in Katina's overall business, while pointing out that it's still making money from iPhone users in other ways.
"We continue to satisfy a great many iPhone and iPod Touch customers with our browser based premium rate WAP services," he says.
"Apple accounts for around 6% of our traffic. If Apple suddenly bar access to all erotic material – including browsed services – it would be much more serious for us, though it's difficult to imagine how they might achieve this in practice."
He continues.
"Mind you, it is equally difficult to imagine how the holy heck they can't administer a simple, robust and user-friendly age verification system so users of all ages can enjoy their device, not just those who still write with crayons!"

When You Want To Buy Genuine USA Made & Union Made Products, Ethix Merch Has Your Back!
When Ethix Ventures started over 8 years ago we had one goal in mind: To help people find and purchase ethically sourced promotional products and apparel from manufacturing facilities throughout the United States.
All too often we get requests from a variety of different businesses throughout the United States that would like to purchase ethically produced promotional products and apparel for the same price as a lesser quality (which are generally produced in sweatshops, and other less than ideal working conditions in manufacturing facilities around the world). Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways.
On the surface, the customized promotional products and apparel we sell may seem to cost more than what you're used to paying for similar products, to better understand you have to consider how the products were made and whether or not those products were in fact imported. If we were comparing apples to apples, I might agree with you on cost, but fortunately we're comparing apples to oranges.Read more

Santa Teresa, on the Mexico US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. Among them are three academics on the trail of a reclusive German ... Show synopsis Santa Teresa, on the Mexico US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. Among them are three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; and a police detective in love with an elusive older woman. But there is darker side still to the town. It is an emblem of corruption, violence and decadence, and one from which, over the course of a decade, hundreds of women have mysteriously, often brutally, disappeared. Told in five parts, 2666 is the epic novel that defines one of Latin America's greatest writers and his unique vision of the modern world. Conceived on an astonishing scale, and in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life with burning, visionary commitment, it has been greeted across Europe and Latin America as his masterpiece, surpassing even his previous work in inventiveness, imagination, beauty and scope. 'A tour de force though the phrase seems hardly adequate to describe the novel's narrative velocity, polyphonic range, inventiveness, and bravery' New York Review of Books 'One of the giants of the post-Marquez era' Sunday Telegraph 'One of the greatest and most influential modern writers' James Wood

Police: Teen drove 101 in 55 mph zoneMarch 19,2014Police: Teen
drove 101 mph
BENNINGTON — A local teenager is facing criminal charges after police said he was clocked driving at 101 mph on Route 7 in Bennington on Feb. 17.
Dylan M. McKinney-Lafountain, 16, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Monday in misdemeanor charges of negligent driving and driving at excessive speed. McKinney-Lafountain pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said in an affidavit that he was running a stationary radar on Route 7's southbound lane near Exit 1 around 6 p.m. Feb. 17. The speed limit in the area is 55 mph.
Faden said his radar showed a reading of 101 mph and he saw a vehicle, whose driver was later identified as McKinney-Lafountain, coming toward him at a "high rate of speed."
According to Faden, McKinney-Lafountain seemed to note the police car ahead of him and "dramatically applied his brakes" but the vehicle continued to move at speeds of about 80 mph to 90 mph.
Faden said he stopped the vehicle near the Bennington welcome center and asked McKinney-Lafountain why he was driving so fast. McKinney-Lafountain said he thought he was only driving about 70 mph.
Faden called McKinney-Lafountain's mother to the scene to take custody of her son and bring him to the police station for processing.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov. Full StoryPolice investigate Full StoryMENS HOCKEY Full Story

Omaha police are investigating claims from two drivers who crashed Monday morning that they all had a green light. The incident was reported at 7:26am at 52nd and Sorenson Parkway.
Police say a 1996 Chevy Corsica was traveling northbound on 52nd Street turning westbound onto Sorenson. It collided with an eastbound 2010 Chevy Traverse. Both drivers tell police they had a green light. The collision forced the Traverse to be pushed into a 2002 Dodge Caravan which was stopped in a westbound lane.
The driver of the Corsica is identified as 25-year old Terrell L. Curry. His passenger, 14-year old Ambrosia Hatche, was transported to Creighton University Medical Center in serious condition with a closed head injury.
The driver of the Traverse, identified as 38-year-old Stephanie Unger, was transported to Immanuel Hospital with neck and back pain.
The driver of the Caravan is identified as 43-year old Terrill W. Walker was not transported.

Slideshare is a great way to drive traffic to your website. If you're not using Slideshare yet you should be – it has 60 million monthly viewers and 3 billion page views a month.
What is slideshare?
Well it's similar to YouTube, but instead of videos it focuses on sharing presentations (though videos are permitted). It is a place where people can upload Powerpoint, Word and PDF documents for public viewing. They can tag them, share them on social media sites, and embed them in their blogs and company websites. Slideshare is searchable so that people can find presentations based on titles and keywords. It's also a very popular tool amongst all kinds of businesses, both small and large. Some companies use it to display financial, technical or other in-depth information that is often difficult to show on their website using traditional graphs and text. Others use it to spark conversations with people who comment on or share the material. Whilst others use it for their presentations at conferences. The potential uses are endless.
Why should you use Slideshare?
Slideshare is a cheap way to spread your valuable insight far and wide. It widens coverage of your presentation and increases awareness of your business. Your presentations may also be discussed on social media channels. Besides driving traffic to your website, it also is an excellent outlet for reaching out to new audiences, connecting with customers, generating additional business, and boosting your company's image. It's a great way to connect with people online.
Below is a slideshare presentation I recently did:
13 Tips to using Slideshare
- Consider the needs of your target audience – who are they? what do they want to know? what insight will they value? Once you have worked this out formulate a presentation targeted to their needs.
- Upload new presentations frequently.
- Take time to fill your presentation with interesting and engaging material that offers a lot of value and insight. Create attractive and eye-catching presentations to lure readers in and retain their engagement.
- Include relevant keywords in your presentation title (as slideshare has a search engine).
- Provide links to your company website, as well as to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube pages.
- Use slideshare as an opportunity to ask people to follow you on Twitter or subscribe to your emails. After all it does have social sharing buttons.
- Use slideshare to stimulate a conversation with your audience.
- Promote slideshare through social media channels. Update your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn with any new presentations you create. On Facebook viewers can view your presentation directly through the social media site.
- Embed presentations to your website/blog.
- If you are holding a presentation/conference, in addition to your presentation you can also import your notes and speaker sheets into Slideshare.
- Monitor the popularity of your presentations, this will help you create future presentations.
- Consider adding audio to your presentation, so viewers can both see and hear the presentation.
- Turn your presentations into eBooks. With a little adaptation this can be done quite easily. Even more compelling since ebooks are becoming easier to read on tablets and smartphones.
Not only is Slideshare easy to use but you can also sign up for a free account. Get started here
Are you using Slideshare? If you are have you had much traffic as a result from it? If not are you tempted to sign up now? Please do leave a comment and share:)
