Joss Stone's New PETA Ad
Listening to British R&B songstress Joss Stone hum a tune is pretty much all it would take for me to fall in love, but Joss clearly wanted to make sure she had all her bases covered by a) being really frickin pretty, b) going out of her way to help animals, and c) being (as I may have mentioned) really frickin pretty. And in case there's any doubt about any of that, here's the brand-new ad she did for PETA to promote vegetarianism. The lovely ad, which lists all the positive qualities that Joss identifies herself with, neglects to mention that she is just as pretty as a picture, but I'm sure that was only because they ran out of room.

Knowing that she is a vegetarian brings her even closer to my heart and when I enjoy her sound I think wow my favorite artist is also a star for animal cause and my salad and my fruits taste better from before because I know that I'm not alone in my fight for the abused creatures but one of the most lovely artists is fighting for the same cause!

Dirty beaches make sick oceans, says group
The nonprofit Ocean Conservancy says every piece of trash affects the oceans' health — and as a result the economy, the environment and animal health. And plastics carry extra costs.
McClatchy Washington Bureau
That's a lot of trash
Refuse, in pounds, collected during a September 2012 coastal cleanup by Ocean Conservancy volunteers in select states:
Alaska 3,575
Washington 3,152
California 305,504
Texas 305,562
Mississippi 54,680
Florida 452,913
Georgia 369,104
South Carolina 19,170
North Carolina 409,189
Source: Ocean Conservancy
WASHINGTON — It's a beach bummer. Shorelines worldwide are clogged with trash, so much so that during their annual cleanup last year, volunteers with the Ocean Conservancy picked up refuse that weighed as much as 10 Boeing 747 jumbo jets.
Cigarettes, food packaging and plastic bottles topped the list from the 2012 cleanup. Debris from the Japanese tsunami and Hurricane Sandy also marred some U.S. beaches, the Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit group that works on ocean protection, reported Monday. Volunteers turned up some weird stuff, too: mattresses, candles, toothbrushes and sports balls.
More than 550,000 people picked up in excess of 10 million pounds of trash along 17,719 miles of international coastlines in September during the Ocean Conservancy's annual cleanup. Billed as the largest ocean-related volunteer effort in the world, the event spotlights just what sort of ocean trash washes up on beaches around the world and what can be done to scale back the refuse.
Every piece of trash affects the health of the ocean — and as a result the economy, the environment and animal health, said Nicholas Mallos, Ocean Conservancy's marine-debris specialist and a conservation biologist. Plastic debris has two risks, he said. There's an entrapment or strangulation risk to wildlife. But the longer plastics are in the ocean, the more likely they are to absorb other toxins, too.
"Plastics leach chemicals into the environment, but plastics also absorb chemicals from the environment," he said. "And certainly when animals — fish or other marine organisms — ingest those plastics, there's some accumulation of those toxins in their systems and as they move up the food chain."
There's also a real cleanup cost to coastal communities. In tourism-dependent beachfront destinations such as Myrtle Beach, S.C., having a pristine appearance is crucial to attracting visitors. In the summer, the city mushrooms from 27,000 year-round residents to the biggest city in South Carolina. And Myrtle Beach spends about $1.1 million annually on trash pickup.
Beaches in places like Alaska, with more than 44,000 miles of coastline, much of it remote, face a separate challenge. Currents and winter storms bring significant debris to the state each year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There, the problem is more likely to be abandoned fishing equipment.
It's not enough just to pick up the trash, Mallos said. The Ocean Conservancy would like people to focus next on producing less waste before it makes its way into the oceans. That means taking simple steps such as avoiding single-use products and embracing reusable water bottles, coffee mugs and grocery bags.
"By getting out there and removing everyday forms of trash from our beaches, and really systematically re-evaluating our daily lives and the choices we make," Mallos said, "we can keep trash from the beaches and ensure that in the face of future natural disasters, we have a more resilient ocean ecosystem."

Attendance: 10,270
Utah State
Logan, UT (Sports Network) - Brockeith Pane posted a game-high 21 points and doled out five assists to lead the Utah State Aggies to a 69-62 victory over the BYU Cougars in a non-conference affair at the D.G. Smith Spectrum.
Preston Medlin added 15 points to go with five dishes as well in the win for Utah State (1-0), while Brady Jardine finished with 12 points and eight rebounds.
Noah Hartsock scored 18 points to lead the way for BYU (0-1), which also got 16 points from Charles Abouo in a losing effort. Brandon Davies, in his first game back with the Cougars following last season's suspension, finished with 13 points.
The Cougars shot at an impressive 50.0 percent from the field over the opening 20 minutes, but an 8-of-12 effort from the charity stripe awarded Utah State with a slight 30-28 advantage heading into the break.
In the second half, the Aggies converted 12-of-17 from the foul line en route to the seven-point win.
The Cougars were guilty of a game-high 20 turnovers in the loss, which accounted for 21 USU points.

The Sea Mist drift-fishing fleet first began scouring South Florida waters in 1956. Today, the 72-foot, all-aluminum Sea Mist III picks up where its predecessors left off. It drifts around Boynton Beach while groups attempt to snag grey grouper, red snapper, yellowtail, or any of the other species that are often encountered during excursions. Also on board, the boat's professional crewmembers dole out occasional humor, steady guidance, and assistance—from baiting hooks to cleaning catches.
Boynton Beach Boat Rentals provides the means to enjoy all that the area's waterways have to offer. Guests can power through the intercostal channels or venture to Peanut Island seated in a bowrider, deckboat, or sport-cabin powerboat as the wind whips through the vessel's open top. Boat rentals facilitate aquatic activities such as water skiing, tubing, or diving and fishing expeditions, as well as the chance to find out what salt tastes like.
With rolling hills and lush, green woods in the background, expert instructors lead students out into the great blue Pacific for custom surfing lessons. During lessons, wave tamers certified in CPR, first aid, ocean safety, and mermaid diplomacy bestow burgeoning surfers with all necessary skills and ocean awareness, which helps surfers to keep their bearings and tackle whitecaps safely. Surf techniques and etiquette can be tailored to ease rookies into their comfort zones or amped up to challenge and heighten the skills of more experienced boarders.
Tamalpais Surf Club also rents boards and wetsuits for surfers looking to paddle out on their own, and their lending inventory includes vintage boards from renowned shapers. To throw more adventure into the mix, the team organizes yoga-surf retreats and surf camps in exotic locales such as Costa Rica and Hawaii, where groups can immerse themselves in the country's culture, cuisine, and bilingual waves.
Freedom Boat Club eliminates the inconveniences of boat ownership through a membership-based program. Their members have access to a full fleet of vessels, which they can use for everything from tubing to snorkeling trips. After their aquatic adventures, members simply return to the dock and hand the boat's reins over to Freedom Boat Club staffers.
Sailors navigate the glittering waters of Palm Beach in one of The Boat Fleet's many vessels, which include center consoles, walkarounds, deck boats, cabin cruisers, and bowriders. Seafaring parties may adventure to nearby Peanut Island, cruise up and down the coast to spot sprawling waterfront mansions, or relax while floating in their private patches of ocean. The 21- to 33-foot boats include rigs equipped for fishing trips—including stainless-steel rod holders, game-spotting GPS, and lures that look like Bugs Bunny in a wig—and all ships stow Coast Guard safety gear and lifeboats aboard.
On the shores of Lake Boca, only 100 yards from the Atlantic Ocean, Ride-A-Wave doles out rentals from its fleet of WaveRunners and Sea Rays. Its entry-level WaveRunners, three-seat Yamaha VX 110s, can crest swells at up to 60 miles per hour. Alternatively, the open bows of 19-foot and 21-foot Sea Rays let up to eight passengers feel the wind in their chest hair as they steer through tropical waters while listening to the radio and grabbing drinks from the built-in cooler.

Previous monitoring missions
March 2009: joint World Heritage Centre / ICOMOS reactive monitoring mission
Factors affecting the property identified in previous reports
a) Development pressures which impact the authenticity of the site;
b) Weaknesses in the decision-making process regarding conservation;
c) Works in the Tower of the Society of Jesus Complex.
Current conservation issues
The State Party submitted a report on the state of conservation of the property on 26 January 2011. The report succinctly responds to the decisions made by the World Heritage Committee at its 33rd (Seville, 2009) and 34th (Brasilia, 2010) sessions.
a) Works at the Compañia de Jesús (Society of Jesus) Complex and to recover the use of the bell tower.
The State Party reports that the works on the tower have been halted and that future interventions would be included as part of an overall and comprehensive evaluation of the Jesuit Complex, as requested by the World Heritage Committee. To date no project or comprehensive evaluation has been carried out and no information has been submitted to the World Heritage Centre. The Fondo de Salvamento del Patrimonio Cultural de Quito (FONSAL), now called Metropolitan Institute of Cultural Heritage, and the Society of Jesus have agreed to send a proposal to the National Institute of Cultural Heritage (INPC) in agreement with the Municipality. However, no report has been submitted to date, neither has a timeframe been established for its submission.
The State Party indicates that the Metropolitan District Municipality, through the Metropolitan Institute of Cultural Heritage, and in coordination with the representatives of the Society of Jesus in Quito, have established the terms of reference for the tourism operation studies. To date, these have not been carried out and no information has been provided on the timeframe for implementation or and completion. There is no existing report on the matter.
b) Definition of limits and buffer zone
The report mentions that the limits for the property have been established along with the buffer zone, and that the proposed maps have been included with the Retrospective Statement of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the property, submitted to the World Heritage Centre in November 2010. The information submitted will be analyzed by the World Heritage Centre during the Retrospective Inventory process starting in 2011. The World Heritage Centre will also contact the State Party once the revision is completed.
c) Decision-making processes for the property and legal and administrative frameworks
The report indicates that the decision-making processes for the property have been enhanced and are fully functional at this time. At the national level, the focal point is the Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural (INPC), which co-ordinates and maintains a strong relationship with managers of World Heritage properties in Ecuador. Decisions are further submitted for consideration and review by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry for Heritage Co-ordination; upon approval at the local and national levels, they are communicated to the World Heritage Centre through the State Party's representation at UNESCO.
Existing legislative arrangements and regulatory frameworks continue to be implemented although the Law for Culture is pending approval by the National Assembly. No indication was provided on expected timeframe for completion, and the legal structure relating to culture and heritage remains under review. At the local level, Municipal Ordinances are currently being enforced for the protection and safeguarding of heritage under the direct supervision of the INPC.
d) Other issues
The State Party reports that an Inventory Directorate has been created within the structure of the Metropolitan Institute of Cultural Heritage. The Directorate is now in the process of carrying out the inventory of built cultural heritage, as requested by the World Heritage Committee. No further information is provided as to the expected timeframe for its conclusion.
Regarding the Tren Ligero, the report states that no official project has been submitted at this time. However, it indicates that the Municipality of the Metropolitan District of Quito has commenced studies for a subway project; however no report has been submitted by the national authorities.
Regarding the planned activities for 2011, the State Party has indicated that the calendar would be submitted to the World Heritage Committee once INPC has met the new Director of the Metropolitan Institute of Cultural Heritage.
In conclusion, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies note the progress made by the State Party in improving the overall framework for the conservation and protection of the property and consider that the approval and enforcement of the Law of Culture will serve to consolidate these efforts. Although they recognize the progress made, they note that the recommendations made by the 2009 reactive monitoring mission have yet to be significantly implemented and that many of the proposed actions are still in the planning stages. Particularly important are the finalization of the inventory and the development of the conservation plan for the built heritage of Quito.
Decision Adopted: 35COM 7B.124
The World Heritage Committee,
1. Having examined Document WHC-11/35.COM/7B,
2. Recalling Decision 34 COM 7B.109, adopted at its 34th session (Brasilia, 2010),
3. Acknowledges the progress made by the State Party in improving the overall framework for the conservation and management of the property and encourages the State Party to finalize the approval of the Law of Culture;
4. Reiterates its request to the State Party to finalize the inventory of the built heritage of the property and to develop a holistic conservation plan for it, including regulations and principles for intervention, and to submit this to the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies for consideration and review;
5. Requests the State Party, in accordance with Paragraph 172 of the Operational Guidelines, to submit to the World Heritage Centre:
a) Detailed information on major projects, such as the potential subway proposal, that may affect the Outstanding Universal Value of the property, as soon as they become available,
b) The proposal for the new intervention in the architectural ensemble of the Society of Jesus, including the alternative proposals to restore the use of the bell tower and the tourism studies;
6. Also requests the State Party to submit to the World Heritage Centre, by 1 February 2013, an updated report on the state of conservation of the property and the implementation of the above, for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 37th session in 2013.

We have a winner for the Imbibe Cover Cocktail Contest, and we couldn't be more excited about our choice. We had about 200 submissions, with so many fantastic recipes and stories to go with them, but in the end, we selected David Delaney (pictured below), who works at The Citizen Wine Bar in Worcester, Massachusetts. We won't be revealing David's recipe until the May/June issue comes out, but we can say that not only is his cocktail delicious and balanced; it's also creative and very fun representation of the spirit of Imbibe with a great backstory about how the magazine inspired his cocktail's creation (and just a hint: it's a rye whiskey cocktail but with some surprising supporting ingredients).
In addition to having his cocktail featured on the May/June cover, David is receiving a Founder's Day Pass to this year's Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, as well as a four-night stay at the beautiful Hotel Le Marais, located in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter—he was so excited when he received our email that he said he screamed in the middle of a meeting. Congrats, David—we're thrilled to show off your cocktail on our upcoming cover, and look forward to seeing you at Tales!
Thanks to everyone who submitted recipes—we really were so impressed by the quality of the recipes and enthusiasm behind each entry. We also want to give a special shout-out to the people who made it into our group of top 25 finalists because we were blown away by the thought and creativity that went into each submission (listed alphabetically).

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Kent County reporting 5th flu-related death KENT COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The Kent County Health Department is confirming another flu-related death. The patient was a man from Kent County over the age of 50. The initial test confirms the man was suffering from Influenza A/H1N1, the predominant strain people have been catching this season. The health department has no medical history, so it is unclear if there were any known underlying medical conditions in this case."Health care providers report a leveling-off of cases of flu-like illness in recent weeks, but we still need to practice prevention," says Adam London, Administrative Health Officer for the Kent County Health Department."In some years, we see flu season peaks as late as March. If you are suffering from the symptoms, consider seeking help from a health care provider, and stay home until you recover." Kent County had five known flu-related deaths in the 2009-2010 season, the initial year that the H1N1 strain was circulating. This brings the total number of Michigan flu-related fatalities to 12. With 5 in Kent County, 3 in Kalamazoo County, 2 in Ottawa County and one each in Van Buren and Barry Counties.

I think all who sell at farmers markets have found that just plopping stuff on a table and expecting it to sell doesn't work now days. How about sharing tips you have found to make your booth special so people will stop and remember you from week to week. Good produce is not enough some times because you have to have people stop and look first. We have all seen inferior products sell because of presentation or personallity of another vendor.
Before the market season starts up again maybe we can get ideas from each other. Here is a couple of mine I'll share more as we go...
Another was to have recipes sheets every week that used one or several of my products as ingredients . I sell fresh garlic (not common around here) and more unusual vegetables. I sometimes had samples of dip etc to have out to taste. Giving some people who might not stop a reason too . I can then talk to them and even if they don't buy from me that week they usually become a customer because they now have a connection Can't wait to here some of your Ideas!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are VERY lucky that you're allowed to set out dip for your customers. I'm just investigating getting into our local Farmers' Markets - and our local Health Department not only doesn't allow us to put out ANY prepared food, but we're not even allowed to put out cut vegetables for tasting - even if they're sliced up right at the site. I'm very surprised & envious that you're allowed to provide samples. |

I can only tell you what I am planning to do because most of what I will be selling will be a new enterprise for me this year. I plan on having fact sheets that cover basic plant care. Where one fact sheet provides instructions for a broad range of plants. That way I don't have to hand out lots of fact sheets for everything that they buy. I may run a list of plants down the margin of the page and circle the names of what they've purchased just in case they forget (the pots will be tagged but they will be taking them out of the pots when they get home - I hope). Same goes for my crafts and garden decor - a kind of general sheet covering everything I offer. Everything I hand out will have my website address where they will be told to go for in-depth information as well as personal advice should they want to email me. Even though I will be selling at a flea market I intend to decorate as if I am at a fancy Home & Garden Show - my business is all about promoting home gardening and promoting my locally themed publications. So anything I can do to make a flashy presentation I'll do. |

Another way I present my products is to have indivdual signs , Each sign has the variety name and sometimes a picture (IE Cherokee Purple Tomato) a description of the product, taste , use etc . I then laminate the signs and then can write a price on the card with eraseable marker. Having signs on each item help customers especially when you have unusual items that are not at the stores. We have 15 varieties of garlic and though the most I usually take is 6 varieties at a time it is real helpful . Many customers want to try several varieties after they see the decriptions and buy more than if the just saw a sign saying "garlic ". Knowing the name of a particular variety makes people aware all tomatoes beans etc are not alike and there are different taste uses etc. I have a small personal laminator thatcan be bought at Walmart. It keeps the signs clean and reuseable and make the cards heavier. I make the signs on my computer using a single fold card program and i fold them to stand on the table or Over the back of a basket. Some I staple to a paint stirrer stick (you can get free) to stick behind taller items like bunches of Basil. |
I do things the same way, GarlicLady. I sell Heirloom tomato and pepper plants and I find that people are very intersted in heirlooms, but usually don't know where to start. I make up a laminated sign (on the computer) for each variety, that has a decent picture of the tomato or pepper along with the information that makes that particular variety unique. I've had people mill around my booth for 30 minutes or longer just reading all of the information on the varieties! The signs are invaluable. |
I'm fairly new to market selling but I use baskets and large colorful bowls from the dollar store. Last year I kept my farm fresh eggs in a closed cooler but this year I have a pretty basket for them.I use brighty colored poster board cut large enough to fold in half so they stand on their own and print variety and price on one side to place in front of the bowls and baskets. I also sell 1 gal. perennials that I arrange on the ground in groups that would grow in same conditions in pleasing color combos. Signs for these are sq. of colored poster board stapled to paint stirring sticks tucked into the pots. Still learning and I like the table cloth idea. PP |

Our display was fairly small last year, but we were pleased to get a number of compliments from customers. We used three tables with matching cream colors table clothes. They were cheap vinyl ones from Big Lots, but they had a classy look. Our umbrella was also a cream color with a wooden pole. We used a hodgepodge of baskets lined with kitchen towels in a variety of muted colors--gold, green, deep red and even a few striped ones in the same color scheme. Our price signs were small chalk boards using colored chalk for descriptions and pricing. As we sold (veggies, mostly tomatoes) we replaced large half empty baskets with smaller ones, and condensed down to two tables, and then just one. We have purchased a canopy for this year and it is white, so we have to come up with something a little different, but we want it to make people think they have traveled somewhere exotic or back in time. Not sure how yet! We are planning to use risers for a three tier display. I am reading "The New Farmer's Market" and hopefully will get more ideas. One thing they said was to not overwhelm your produce with bright colors and busy patterns. I really wanted a pale yellow canopy because they say it casts the best light on most veggies, but they were out of our price range. We printed recipes on 4X6 index cards, some times with a border or small clip art. To identify our varieties, we found these little wooden cut-outs at Michaels. They have all sorts of shapes, including tomatoes! Ron colored them to match the variety (pinks were pink different shades of pink, Cherokee Purple was purplish, etc.) even adding green leaves and stems of different shades. And then wrote the name in the center. We glued them to sticks and stood them up in the back of the baskets. If we use them again, I think I will glue them to clothes pins and clip them to the basket, because we constantly had to stand them back up in the basket… We are planning to sell heirloom tomato plants this year…we finished transplanting about 1500 last night! So we have to work those in to our display this year. |

Everyone has mentioned how they display their items. Heres some tips on how you look! Don't sit, stay busy, DON'T SMOKE. and always!! Smaile and say hello. I have been selling for many years and have seen customer walk by very nice booth becasue the vendors were unfriendly, smoked or looked dirty. We do alot of what has been said above in other post and will be expanding to three times the amount of produce grown last year. Doing things right pays. Tom |

We sell mostly dried herb seasoning so we utilize many baskets. I agree that you don't want your area to be too busy. I've found that twin size sheets work great in place of tablecloths...they're reasonable and come in a variety of colors. My hubby made folding risers for me so we can display on two levels and I use one color sheet on the table and a coordinating sheet as a drape to cover the risers. We always make sure that each item has a sign with the price on it...customers hate to ask how much something costs. We are very fortunate in the fact that we can basically set up a "kitchen" area behind our booth and we serve samples each week. We even get to prepare them right on the spot so our motto has become "if it don't smell, it don't sell!" We hand out recipes for each sample. We also have a file filled with recipe sheets for each blend that we sell. I put a sandwich board type sign in front of our booth with the name of whatever sample we are handing out that day. Our herb plants are displayed in their flats on two tables put back to back again with two risers towards the back of the tables so that we get to utilize more space. I put laminated signs on popsicle sticks in each flat with the name of the herb, the light requirements, growing habits and the price. If we have an unusual plant I try to take pictures of it to show how it grows. Our market opens in less than 30 days and I am sooooo excited! :) |

One caveat: Don't overspend on your display. It's easy to get carried away, especially if you've come up with a neat idea. At first, use what you have and fill in with yard sale and flea market finds. A beat-up but sturdy table can be covered with a yard-sale sheet dyed a bright color. As to how we present ourselves, clean, neat, and organized are the bywords. All of us have matching tee-shirts--RIT dye can do wonders. We have an old-fashioned manual cash register that catches the eye. Your booth/display should be relatively easy to set up and break down. You want to get to the business of selling as quickly as possible. At one festival, our next door 'neighbor' had a lovely, airy, intricate white PVC-frame and bright silk pavilion--but it took her most of the day to put it together. And, at the end of the day, you're going to be tired and packing up should be as simple as possible. Tables that fold, self-contained units, whatever makes it simple. We plan what's going where and have a layout so no matter who's helping, they'll know where everything goes. We spend time planning how to pack the vehicles. For instance, if you put the flowers on top of the tables, you have to unpack the flowers, set them aside, and then get out the tables. We take two vehicles--one has the tables and bins with whatever tablecovers, etc. that go with them. We unpack that first, get it set up before we unpack the product. The second vehicle has the flowers and produce. As we take each container out, we put the product into its place on the stand and put its price on it. Add the cash register and the scale, the tax sign, and we're in business. While one minds any customers, the other unpacks the canopy, signs, chairs, and the rest of it. As a hand is needed, we combine, but the important thing is that we're selling at the earliest moment. And we unhesitatingly exploit the children. Never underestimate the charm offensive. We estimate that they increase earnings by a minimum of twenty percent at each market. Ours are, however, well-behaved and under control. We have a play area, snacks, pillows, shade, and a (free) baby-sitter. DO NOT take your children if they're going to be a distraction or a disruption. Ray |

I also find that BIG picture matters-- the arrangement of tables, etc... it has to invite people into your space instead of saying "we're hanging out back here, don't bother with us" ... we've really found that if we push the edge of our space (where we are allowed to go) and get RIGHT OUT THERE on the edge, it brings in more people. There were these people selling across the aisle from us last season-- they had fantastic willow screens and many beautiful things but they had their booth set up so the willow screens actually screened them from the traffic! They thought they were displaying their wares... I think the effect it had was to shut them off. And I second the KID thing-- I brought my 1-year-old daughter along last year several times and she was a HIT. Kristen (garlic lady on the other side of the continent) |

All I've read so far are GREAT ideas and I would vouch that many have been successful foe me. One thing I would tweek with recommendations given so far is to keep your stand and produce primative enough that your customer doesn't have to think twice as to whether you are a "Farmer" or a produce pedler. Customers like to relate to the local agriculture in their cummunity and you should appeal to that instinct. Don't turn your stand into a carnival booth. |
- Posted by Lee_Carson Z4 Montana (email@example.com) on Sun, Apr 10, 05 at 10:40
well, it looks as though you all covered about everything. Just a few things to add. I handle a farmers market in a small city where my only true compitition is a Hooterite colony. They are ok people but don't talk much to us "English Folks". Thats cool, for me, because I treat every single customer like they are my best friend, long lost pal... ect. If they are repeats, I always try to throw a little something in extra. Me and my crew talk to everyone. "Heya Guy, how ya doing today?" with a huge smile and a flurtasiose wink have sold many a produce items. Same for my female customers " Hey there Lady, What can I do for you today" Another thing is we put our products in weaved baskets. the kind you find a thrift stores "Cheap". And last but no least is appearance of your product. Don't pile everything you have on your table at once. Give the products some space, and arrange them so they are pleasing to the eye. Step away from the table 10 or so feet and take a good look at your arrangment. Is it balanced. Does one certain thing catch your eye. Make it your center piece and work outward from there. Make very sure that everything you sell is the best quality it can be. Clean, clean, clean. If you have culls, keep them out of site, but mention "that you do have some Vegy's that are not quite up to snuff, and that you will make someone a great deal on it." well good luck. Oh PS : Matching tee-shirts that are bright with the farm name on them works wonders too. |

a bit more from the consumers side, because I've still not starteed up: I know European markets and markets here in Brisbane. In Brisbane I'm disappointed because most of them are resellers. So let people know that you are growing the stuff you sell, a small singn with your adress will be enough. and tell them that you picked everything yesterday, if it's true. Many years I bought at the same stall, they had good products and making a lot of fun while selling, saying young lady to a grandmother etc. I had always an apple for my child, they where weighing always down and after it they threw one apple more.Or I had a parsley extra in my bag. But I liked most the markets in Athens I miss them so much, no nice sheets of paper nothing, no tableclothes not neat and clean but heaps of different veggies and fruits really heaps! And all the street crowded with people, the sellers crying "ena ena ena" hundreds of stalls This is market! In Brisbane there are so few markets far away seldom a bit boring and mostly resellers. OnceI went once to an organic market I bought a bunch of salad it was so tiny!! I think it is important that you dont put three carrots in a basket but a heap on the table, people should not think they will starve or have to go to the supermarket after visiting the marketplace. I think it is good to inform the people about the product, but a market place is not a supermarket and at least I search something different from this sterile cleenish athmosphere with half cutted plastic wrapped vegetables, which I hate so much. I don't know where you are but perhaps think a bit of the immigrants, what kind of markets they re used, here most immigrants go to the markets, and they will attract others. Perhaps you'll get ideas in your local library, reading about souks and travel books with pictures. ans don't forget to mark the price, nobody likes asking how much- oh thanks it's quite too expensive. |
I manage a farmers' market, and here are the things I've noticed that separate the vendors who have lines vs. those who never seem to have many customers: 1. Mark produce and their prices clearly with signs on each bin or basket. Listing varieties also helps. If you sell items that can't be displayed, like meat, you need a VERY LARGE -- that is, big enough to be readable from well outside your booth -- and EASILY UPDATABLE sign listing available cuts with prices, and you need to update it throughout the day. Don't erase things you've sold out of -- cross them out instead, so that people will know that you do carry these items and they need to show up earlier in the day if they want them. Ditto empty bins -- don't put them away. Leave the empty bins and their signs out. |

valaree, you put things very good, and I agree with everything. You can educate customers, but don't make them feel totally stupid. They might be when they arrive at your stand, but hopefully they will know more when they leave. Your post should be given to every person that thinks they want to be a vendor. If you don't have people skills, it doesn't matter how good your produce is, it won't sell. If you don't have the skills, find someone willing to work for you, that does. I love attending other markets, just to see how others work, where is yours? Marla |

Great advice, Valeree, a must read for every vendor. The only one I'm not sure of is #5. Maybe it's just my perception, but I find that when customers (not passersby) are looking at my stall with vague interest, and I say hello to them, they get uncomfortable and leave immediately. I guess some people don't like being bothered but it's so difficult to balance being friendly and being pushy. How would you suggest going about it? |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, May 22, 12 at 22:54
Just say hello or good morning/afternoon? They will most likely at least say hello back. Next time, they might stop. I don't encourage anyone to force prospective customers to stop and buy. If you have something unusual, you might bring it to their attention, ONLY as an informative statement, nothing more. Alot of times, they'll stop just to find out what you're talking about. |
The guy next to me is always calling out "Welcome to X Farm! Would you like to try some of our Y?" I gotta find out how they can give samples since they don't have the handwashing station required by health dept - I don't know if they have the permit. Maybe b/c his samples aren't laying out on a plate? He just has people take a green bean or cherry tomato from one of his baskets, or he hands them a thin bamboo coffee stir stick with a dip of his maple syrup or jelly on it. That seems pushy to me, I like to just make eye contact and say hello (maybe make a comment about how cute their dog or kid is, or offer them a bag if they're struggling with prior purchases). Though I do think the samples help and would like to do it myself if I could without going through all the hoops. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, May 23, 12 at 8:50
If he isn't CUTTING anything, then he can offer samples. The dipping of the syrup would be on the line, unless it's the idea that he isn't re-using the coffee stirrer. Board of health told me that if I didn't need to cut the produce then I didn't need anything. You could also give a whole tomato, or ear of corn, but IF you cut it, you would need the hand washing station and the whole deal. Marla |
Slimy_Okra, You learn who wants to be said hello to and who wants a smile and who wants to be ignored. We tend to be very friendly - but we both enoy selling. |

Union Minister for Power Sushilkumar Shinde told the Adarsh Judicial Commission on Monday that the decision of allotting land to Adarsh Housing Society was taken prior to his taking charge as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
Mr. Shinde deposed before the two-member commission and said he did not issue the Letter of Intent (LOI), neither was he consulted before the LOI was issued to the society.
He handled many files related to Adarsh Housing Society during his tenure as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra between January 18, 2003 and November 1, 2004. On Monday, during his deposition, he either put the onus of all the actions on the bureaucrats or pleaded ignorance about issues.
He refused to answer when asked if the conduct of senior bureaucrats was improper as they did not disclose that their family members had obtained membership of the society.
"Do you consider it a serious act of impropriety on part of the Secretary [Subhash Lala] for not informing you (that his family member was a member of the society)?" Advocate Dhiren Shah, who represented the Ministry of Defence, asked Mr. Shinde.
He said that there was no occasion for him to apply his mind and he took all the decisions on the basis of the notes or the advice given by his Secretary.
He said he was not aware that the Society needed prior approval from the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
Union Minister for Science and Technology Vilasrao Deshmukh will depose before the commission on Tuesday.

ACTIQ is intended to be used only in the care of cancer patients and only by oncologists and pain specialists who are knowledgeable of and skilled in the use of Schedule II opioids to treat cancer pain.
The concomitant use of ACTIQ with strong and moderate cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors may result in an increase in fentanyl plasma concentrations, and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression [see Drug Interactions (7)].
WARNINGS: IMPORTANCE OF PROPER PATIENT SELECTION, DOSING, and POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE
Reports of serious adverse events, including deaths in patients treated with FENTORA have been reported. Deaths occurred as a result of improper patient selection (e.g., use in opioid non-tolerant patients) and/or improper dosing. The substitution of FENTORA for any other fentanyl product may result in fatal overdose.
FENTORA is indicated only for the management of breakthrough pain in patients with cancer who are already receiving and who are tolerant to around-the-clock opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain. Patients considered opioid tolerant are those who are taking around-the-clock medicine consisting of at least 60 mg of oral morphine daily, at least 25 mcg/hour of transdermal fentanyl, at least 30 mg of oral oxycodone daily, at least 8 mg of oral hydromorphone daily or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid daily for a week or longer.
FENTORA is contraindicated in the management of acute or postoperative pain including headache/migraine. FENTORA is not indicated for use in opioid non-tolerant patients including those with only as needed (PRN) prior exposure to

Flash vs HTML5 is a HTML5 study of the current landscape for creating gaming and rich interaction, presenting Flash and HTML iterations of the same game. It uses custom 2D webGL. The parallax scrolling is also cool. There's a bit of hornet's-nest-kicking debate fodder in there of course but the real treat is viewing it all on your mobile/tablet browser.

Oreo is one of the best examples of 'social content' I've seen recently. It heralds a new approach to content creation that's real time and reactive… but instead of a oneshot approach it's in a programme format.
We've already written brands & open conversations here. What's interesting is that Oreo has developed a content programme over 100 days designed to tap into any memes or cultural trends that present themselves. I love the great craft skills – it's nice to see great art direction and copy. Take a look at the case study below for more.

Sorry you don't like it, but most people appreciate small pictures, especially since this forum's topic includes the term 'pics'. -

If it is appropriate to a conference and discussion, you may embed images in your responses by proper use of the HTML tag . If your image is large and takes some time to download, it is courteous to use the Hide feature on the response that holds the image, and to post an additional response to let other users know what that the image is there so they can look at it if they choose to do so.
dtmmd Posts: 7I actually spoke to a GM rep yesterday who seemed fairly clueless as to ordering info for 2001 denali xl, colors ( "maybe they're just like last year"), production dates ( "I'm guessing October, but could be later"), and price. I've gotten more information from these boards and from Clifford Martin's site than GM site, dealers, and rep combined. If only the Mercedes ML 430 were a little bigger!
joelis Posts: 315GM needs to get rid of its current "Take it or Leave it" attitude, before I will be buying another GM product. Its amazing how many people continue to give in to this nonsense. I guess that is why GM feels it does not have to change its ways. I hope more people will wake up as time goes on.
butta Posts: 44Found these pics posted on a local Caddy dealers site. The site says the new Escalade won't be available until winter of '01. Seems like an awful long wait.

mbml55amg Posts: 57I have always thought the Denali/Escalade twins were the best looking SUVs available, & was shocked that they were not the first to use the New Platform. While I am very happy to see them built on the New Platform for 2001, & especially glad to see the Yukon L Denali added to the formula, I am not at all fond of the Escalade's front end treatment. The 2001 Yukon Denali looks fine, not any better than the 2000 model to me, but the chassis upgrades will be well worth waiting for. Good luck to all. We will be looking @ adding a Yukon Denali XL to our garage very soon. I am excited that GM saw it fit to offer the 6.0 in the Denalis, wonderful move IMO.
butta Posts: 44Does anyone know why GM refuses to offer its luxo SUV in 2wd versions?
It would be a strong seller for those of us who would rarely take a 40K+ vehicle off-road (not to mention the lower costs). Seems as if the GM boys are still thinking a bit behind the big blue oval and its luxury spin-off. -
butta Posts: 44This info was sent to me straight for a Caddy dealership owner:
"The '02 Escalade is scheduled to start production this December which means we should have them available for sale late January. I'm not sure what colors/options will be available at the beginning, nor the price.
The new Escalade will be based on the new Yukon/Tahoe chassis but the Cadillac will have a 345 HP 6.0L engine. The only options are
choice of color, two interiors and sunroof. Third row seating is standard as is leather seats."
Hope it helps. -
butta Posts: 44It actually happened a few days ago. I have strong reason to believe "someone" from the dealership is a regular reader of this forum and doesn't want Cadillac HQ to see that they've been sneaking pics of their ultra secret new Escalade to everyone on the 'net.
I say be a rogue and give the public what they want! Perhaps it will generate an additional sale or two or twenty. Then again it could also get you in big trouble. Go figure! -
cwmartin Posts: 89I have been asked by the person who owns the pictures that Crestview Cadillac had posted, to hold off posting any of those pictures for copyright reasons for a few weeks. I have to honor copyright requests, so I will not post those pictures for the requested period of time. Sorry.

Women's Organic Tea / Motherwort tea |
No reviews yet. Be the first. |
Organically grown - Motherwort is an herb most beneficial to women's health. It can help relieve pain during childbirth and...
Motherwort is one of those plants that has somehow found its way into native medical lore in every corner of the Earth...from Russia to Romania...from America to Asia. Motherwort is an herb most beneficial to women's health.
It can help relieve pain during childbirth and when used for several days after birthing, can help prevent uterine infection. It also helps relax women who tend to 'over-mother'. It is said to make mothers more joyful.
The genus name Leonurus is derived from a Latin word, leo meaning 'lions' and a Greek word oura, meaning 'tail', in reference to the leaf's shaggy shape - like a lion's tail. The species name, cardiaca is from the Greek word kardiaca, meaning 'heart'.
The Japanese consider Motherwort flowers to be a drink benefiting longevity, thus the expression, "Drink Motherwort to the despair of your heirs".
Motherwort is an excellent herb to benefit heart function. It inhibits blood platelet aggregation, lowers blood lipid levels, lowers high blood pressure and calms arrhythmias.
As a cardiac tonic, Motherwort has been shown to be hypotensive, sedative, and antispasmodic. It calms palpitations and normalizes heart function in general. Motherwort extract has been shown to improve several aspects of coronary health.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ETIP leader killed in February Predator strike
By Bill RoggioSeptember 17, 2010
A Uighur terrorist, thought to be Abdul Haq al Turkistani, from a
videotape released by the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party in 2008.
Abdul Haq al Turkistani, a member of al Qaeda's Shura Majlis and the
leader of the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party (ETIP), a terror group that
seeks to establish an Islamic emirate in western China and Central Asia,
was killed in a US airstrike in Pakistan in February, US intelligence
officials told The Long War Journal.
Turkistani was killed in the Feb. 14, 2010, strike on a compound in the
village of Zor Babar Aidak near Mir Ali in North Waziristan, officials
said. US Predators fired two missiles at the compound, which was being
used as a secret training camp. Five terrorists, including Turkistani,
were reported killed in the strike.
The town of Mir Ali is a known stronghold of al Qaeda leader Abu Kasha al
Iraqi, an Iraqi national who is also known as Abu Akash. He has close
links to the Taliban and the Haqqani Network. The Haqqani Network and
Hafiz Gul Bahadar also have influence in the Mir Ali region.
The Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party is known to operate in in the Mir Ali
region along with the Islamic Jihad Group, an offshoot of the Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan.
The Pakistani government claimed in May that Turkistani had been killed,
when Interior Minister Rehman Malik made an announcement during a
conference in Beijing, China. At the time, Malik stated that the terror
group's "back is broken" and that the group is no longer viable inside
But the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party is still known to operate in North
Waziristan. A "group of hundreds of militants" from the Eastern Turkistan
Islamic Party is said to be in the region, US intelligence officials told
The Christian Science Monitor.
Although the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party has not officially announced
Turkistani's death, Abdul Shakoor is said to have taken control of the
terror group.
Turkistani is one of the top two terror leaders killed in a Predator
strike this year. Mustafa Abu Yazid, formerly al Qaeda's leader in
Afghanistan and its top financial official, was killed in a Predator
strike in Datta Khel in North Waziristan on May 21, 2010. [See LWJ report,
Senior al Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed in US airstrikes in Pakistan,
2004 - 2010, for the list.]
Background on Abdul Haq al Turkistani and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic
Haq, who was also known as Maimaitiming Maimaiti, became the leader of the
Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party in late 2003 after Hassan Mahsum, the
group=E2=80=99s previous leader, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan.
Al Qaeda appointed Haq to its Shura Majlis, or executive leader council,
in 2005, according to the US Treasury Department, which designated him as
a global terrorist in April 2009. The United Nations also designated Haq
as a terrorist leader.
Haq was considered influential enough in al Qaeda's leadership circles
that he was dispatched to mediate between rival Taliban groups as well as
to represent the Shura Majlis in important military matters. In June 2009,
Haq was spotted in Pakistan=E2=80=99s tribal areas attending an impor=
tant meeting with Baitullah Mehsud, then Pakistan=E2=80=99s overall
Taliban commander. Haq and a senior delegation of Taliban and al Qaeda
leaders traveled to Pakistan=E2=80=99s tribal areas to discuss the
Pakistani milita= ry's operation in South Waziristan. Among those in
attendance were Siraj Haqqani, the military commander of the deadly
Haqqani Network; and Abu Yahya al Libi, a senior al Qaeda ideologue and
The Treasury Department said Haq has sent operatives abroad to raise funds
for attacks against Chinese interests both at home and abroad. He also was
involved with recruiting, propaganda efforts, and the planning and
execution of terror attacks. In early 2008, Haq openly threatened to
conduct attacks at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Haq was last heard from in August 2009, when he threatened to attack
Chinese embassies worldwide as well as targets within the country.
Prior to the US invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, Haq ran a
training camp for his recruits at al Qaeda=E2=80=99s camp in Tora Bora in
Afghanistan=E2=80=99s Nangarhar province [see LWJ report, "The Uighurs in
t= heir own words"]. He later reestablished camps for the Eastern
Turkistan Islamic Party in Pakistan=E2=80=99s lawless, Taliban-controlled
tribal area= s. The Chinese government has pressured Pakistan to dismantle
the camps.
Despite Haq's connections to al Qaeda, and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic
Party's role in the global jihad, the US is releasing fighters belonging
to the terror group from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Of the 22
Eastern Turkistan Islamic Party detainees captured on the battlefield in
Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002, only seven remain in custody. Five were
transferred out of custody by the Bush administration and 10 more by the
Obama administration.

.- Mgr. Andrew Summersgill, coordinator of Pope Benedict XVI's upcoming visit to the United Kingdom, clarified on Sunday that pilgrims who will be attending any of the major open air events with the Holy Father will not be paying "a charge to go to Mass," but a contribution of solidarity to cover the cost for the transportation of pilgrims.
Pope Benedict's visit to the U.K., planned from September 16-19, will include three open-air public celebrations: the Mass in Bellahouston, the Vigil in Hyde Park and the Mass in Cofton Park.
Some interested in attending the events as well as the local media reacted negatively when the organizers of the Pope's visit announced that a contribution of roughly $40 and $32 per pilgrim would be requested towards covering Cofton Park and Bellahouston Park travel, respectively.
"It is a contribution, not, as I've been reading in some places, a charge for people to go to Mass," Mgr. Andrew Summersgill explained on Sunday.
"Its main purpose is to cover the cost of transportation, particularly to Cofton and to Bellahouston," Msgr. Summersgill explained. He added that the money will also cover traffic management, and the "secured accreditation that is needed for people to get in."
The coordinator of the Pope's visit explained the difference by describing the established practice for World Youth Days.
"What happens at the World Youth Days is that everybody is invited to register online and part of that registration includes a contribution which is usually made by credit card or through groups. So it's not totally dissimilar to the way these things work in other parts of the world," he said.
"The contribution," he explained "is being kept the same across the board and therefore it's an act, if you like, of solidarity, so that anybody who is attending either the Beatification Mass or the Mass in Glasgow is making the same contribution no matter where they are coming from."
In fact, according to the organizers, in England and Wales, the contributions are collected through the dioceses and "it is up to each one to decide how they wish to collect the contributions from within their own dioceses."
"The diocese itself may make the contribution," Msgr. Summersgill added, "it may be passed to parishes, there may be fundraising groups within parishes and parishes may wish to support other people attending Papal events. It isn't a direct contribution in that sense."
Each pilgrim attending the open air events will receive a Pilgrim Pack (a drawstring bag) containing a "pilgrim passport, a commemorative CD and a 'How to keep in touch' postcard."

So I am sitting here on my tailgate waiting on the grains to do their thing (BIAB) but somehow I always miscalculate how much water I can put with my grains and have room. Oh well. Pic of water coming up to temp before the little spillage. Only 2nd BIAB with 9lbs of grain in a 30 qt pot.
MOPrimary: Empty :(Kegged: Jamil's Porter
So after the miscalculation I still came out with 82% efficiency. Heaps better than my first attempt at BIAB. Feeling better about things now.....everything cleaned up and in the fermenter now. Just sit back and wait now.

The recent trailers for "The Social Network" aka the Facebook movie have been creepy to say the least, with audio clips set to suspenseful music and words like "traitor" as the only images. This new trailer gives us a little more of the movie, though it's still pretty dark. One thing is for sure: we will be watching it this fall. Not only because our September cover girl Rashida Jones is one of the main players in this dramatic flick, but also because it's about Facebook and we sadly can't get enough of it! The creation of "The Facebook" (as they refer to it in the movie) was pretty controversial and scandalous it seems, which is just the thing we all love about the actual website.
