Trimming time off set up
What methods do you have for setup? Do you do one table at a time or whatever cooler you grab first? Any suggestions for speed?
When we were setting up large, I preferred having everything that went on the table as close to back door as possible.
We would show up, open doors (large cargo van), pop up canopies, then tables. I knew what I want approximately where (each week was the same). As the boxes came out, then into baskets (if we used them), sorting as we went. then items went onto tables in approximate space. I would look from customer's view occassionally to make sure the table looked good. Usually took 15-30 minutes after setting canopies. We usually had 2-3 people, 1 supervising others unloading.
This is what we created after over 10 years of same sized space with same amount of tables (2 6' and 3 4') in a U (from customer's view) shape in a 20' space.
All backup produce was in stacks, and boxes marked when time allowed during loading time. We spent more time loading the night before (our market started at 6 am) than we spent setting up or tearing down.
Take extra help ;-)
No really, I've found the quickest way to get set up is to put everything in its display containers so once the EZ Up is up and the table out, I can just start pulling containers out of the truck and setting them out on the table. Pickling cukes go in a gallon jar of ice water and stay there, just take the lid off and put it on the table. Slicers go in a big square Tupperware container on the back seat (won't fit in cooler) and that goes right on the table. Green beans are in a bucket in the cooler, again just take the lid off and put on the table. Last year when I had tomatoes, I put them in stacking ventilated organizer baskets and put them in the toolbox just before market, then pulled those out and set them on the table or on top of wooden crates on the ground.
Jams and jellies go in a plastic underbed box that goes under the table and I just set up a tiered display with 1 jar of each, then replace as they sell (people always take the display jar, don't want to wait for me to take one out from under the table). That's the thing that takes the most time to arrange but since I only bring about 6-7 flavors at a time, it's not too long.
I have to get better about writing out my prices in advance though, I like to see what other vendors are selling for some sometimes that takes a while. I like to get there 30 minutes before market opens to set up but I have set up in 15 minutes - I don't usually have more than 1 8-ft table and maybe some baskets on the cooler though.
At one time, I laminated signs with the product name, but not the price. I would use dry erase markers to write the price in each market, that way I could change my prices as needed. I got the self-sealing laminated sheets.
for me, the 8' tables are too heavy, I can use the 4' ones when I don't bring the truck, just the blazer. They fit across behind the drivers/passengers seat perfectly. 6' are just 2" too long for the blazer, so they are truck only during market.
I am a one man show most of the time and the best way I have found to save time setting up is to simply arrive earlier. It is really hard for me to do this too, but it does help.
We use anywhere between 3 and 8, 6 foot tables. All our tables fold in half and only take up 3 feet.
Now that school has started, I attend a market on Wednesday that starts at 4 pm. I am moved my planning time to the end of the day and I leave my school at 3:00ish, drive 30-35 minutes and set up. I am still setting up, making sales and hustling!
With that said, here are a few things we do.
I display in the same tub it goes to market in. The potatoes, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, winter squash, and even peppers some times are taken in tubs in these pictures.
They have lids and I can stack them 4 to 5 high in the truck. When we get to market, I can put up tents, tables and set out the whole tub and they are ready to sell. Then I have extra in 18 gallon totes or boxes or the same tubs. My kids were having fun putting out all the sweet potatoes. Usually they aren't piled this high!
Here are our tomatoes, the customer picks out their own and we weigh them up. Some don't do this, I do as I don't have time to put them out in baskets. Weighing them only takes a second or two. We have bowls, with a plastic sack already placed in them. The customer fills the bowl, I weigh it, tell them the amount and while they are getting the money, I have already pulled the sack up over the produce, pulled it out of the bowl, sat it down in front of them and am putting a new sack on the bowl.
You can see the bowl on the scales in the left of the picture. We have over 10 bowls, they are like shopping baskets.
The cherry tomatoes also come in the tubs. I can put 15 pint baskets per tub. If I am in a hurry, I just set out the tub, then unload it as time allows.
Another thing is we use new black web trays to display produce. We know how we are going to set it up and we stick the sign in the tray and stack up the trays. Then when we get to market we can sit out the trays, then fill them out of the coolers.
It works for us.
Wow, you guys start school early! We don't go back til after Labor Day (and it's a 3-day week for Rosh Hashanah, the kids aren't going to like going back on Friday after having Thursday off). But they don't get out til mid-June (June 21 this year due to excessive snow days).
One of our schools went back last Monday, they are going to a 'more balanced' calendar, other schools started this week. Everyone is usually out by Memorial Day/June 1st.
I don't like the folding tables, mainly because of the weight that we have loaded on ours. 9 boxes of tomatoes heaped adds up. My son (about 200#) have set on them without any bending. Lifetime tables, not anything else. You pay alittle more, but they have lasted us up to 13 years and still going. Only have to re-screw the screws at time.
OK well I have brought a similar amount of stuff to market for 5 years. No one else at market brings as many different things as I have (easily 3 dozen different things). I am last to get ready and last to leave every week for 5 years. I want to trim some time but can't say as if I waste more than 5 minutes in an hour. We have 1 hour 15 minutes to get ready and are not allowed to come earlier- not that I could as I am packing so late my shower and getting dressed equals 5 minutes! Then at our board meeting one of the vendors wanted to reduce set up time, saying no one needed 1 hour 15 minutes. He is a prick. I really watched what I did today. The only way to shave time is as mentioned above, to have the veggies in their quart baskets prior to market. I don't have time to do that often and they take up more room on the way but I have found it goes much faster when there. I could skip tablecloths. I could make one price sign board but I have found those ineffective to customers although they definitely save time.
When I get to market my truck is packed in order. So the canopy is on the end. That goes up and the tables are grabbed next and set up. Then I have a tote with tablecloths and signs and so on. Then I generally move everything onto the tables/ground except flowers and baked goods. So do you think it is better to move all boxes and coolers to the tables and then unpack each item or move and unpack a box/cooler at a time?
We get annoying customers coming in during my precious set up time so I barricade the entrance with my coolers and boxes, make it look sloppy not rude.
We don't do scales at our market so everything is each. I have to basket up: tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, ground cherries, tomatillos, peppers, hot peppers, eggplant, potatoes, summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, peas. Most everything else is bunched, bagged or tagged for price (I mark melons and squash ahead of time). That is done at the farm. Only cucs, onions, garlic, leeks, some squash, some melons are just basketed as all the same price.
looks to me that the thing that makes it take so long is not being able to use a scale to sell and having so many different items.
i set up by myself in about a half an hour on 2 tables and whatever else i can cobble together as a surface to display produce in the 10x10 space, such as empty tomato boxes stacked.
the guy next to me sells mostly fruit. he arrives at the opening bell of the market with 2 helpers and is set up in 10 minutes. he has the number of tables jay has stretched out into the parking lot.he parks elsewhere to make his 10x10 more like 10x20.
Minnie, sounds like you need a helper (you do this all yourself?) and really the cherry toms, broccoli, etc. anything you sell by the pint/quart needs to be in those baskets in the truck - see if you can get flats the baskets will fit in at grocery store where you work, so they stack w/o crushing. Green beans, etc. - can you package in bags at home? They won't crush as much and you can just throw the individual bags in cooler and then set some out on display, keep the rest in cooler. Takes more time to package at home, but beats having to do it during set up time. Maybe take some loose and measure/weigh (small kitchen scale or whatever you use at home to make sizes consistent) between customers, as long as you have enough prepackaged for start of market?
Squash (and broccoli?) anything you sell by each can just go in large container, have your display container all set to put out on table and replenish from tub/cooler as needed. I don't think you have to have *everything* out on display, as long as there is always a reasonable amount out so people don't think you only have a few of each item (my problem, I don't harvest huge amounts of anything at a time, at least not this year, except cukes and squash that I had all out the other night and didn't sell out).
I don't know how your market is, if other vendors have cases of one item all out (last market I was at the MM used to have 1 whole table with those huge mesh bags of corn set out and slit open) but I think if you displayed say a dozen broccoli heads at a time (and kept it at a dozen) in one of your nice baskets, you could keep the rest in your truck. Again, I'll do a half bushel (the most I pick, you may do a bushel) of zukes and one of yellow squash on display and if you have more keep it in the truck or under a table, wherever you can grab to replenish.
How many tables do you have? If you could do 2 (maybe 3 at most) maybe that would save time, like I said display a reasonable amount of everything instead of ALL of everything.
But why don't you use scales? That sure would save time on setup, so you could sell things like the green beans by weight and not have to package.
If I have too many items, the sales are actually lower. Too much choice, confuses customers.
I set up the tables with the individual items (like zukes, cukes, corn and onions that I sell by quantity) on one side of booth, and the other side is the items that sell by the pound. I've figured that 1 person can handle about 12' of table and not much more reasonably. anything more than that you need another person.
I started out trying to have everything, but have narrowed my selection down to a dozen or less per market day. Plus I have only 1-3 prices on the per pound part. I like to have 1-3 prices on the 'each' part, that way I only have a certain number of prices to remember. Otherwise, I need a 'cheat sheet' with the prices.
definitely don't bring everything out, even vendors that have tables full, usually have back stock. Also don't put just a few of each either, you have to figure where that happy medium spot is for your market.
We've found that people notice that we are sorting as we restock. They are reassured that we are checking the quality everytime we put more stock out. they even like the idea that we DO have some undesirable produce, makes us NOT like the grocery store.
I think you're trying to have TOO many items, I would cut down some.
Set up is one of those things that you could write a dissertation about. In the end I guess it's what works best for you but I'll try to explain what we do. In logistics, one strives to put the exact piece you need in the exact place it needs to be at the exact time it needs to be there. At one time I worked for a panelized housing manufacturer as the shipping coordinator (fancy term for supervising the guys that loaded semis). The principle was that the first thing that the builder needed would be the last thing loaded on the trucks (so it would be first off). We have adopted this mantra for how we load out our trailer for market. Canopies and weights come off first and are put up. Tables come next and set into position - we run up to eight 5" tables along the front and two or three behind depending on what we have. We use coolers for a lot of our re-stock product so they come off next and go under the table and as close to under their crate on the table top. Same with items that we transport in flats (toms, peaches and the like) - they go under the table or as close behind as possible. We have a big plastic tote for each location (we do two concurrent markets on Saturday AM so have to have two complete set ups) that have the incidentals - markers, scale and buckets, paper towels and cleaning wipes, first aid kit, tape, ect. That goes onto the back tables along with bags and any special items we need (apple bags, pint and quart boxes, clam shells, corn bags) which are also in a tote. Next off come the pre-filled starter crates. I am pretty anal about where I set my items on the tables (both for my convenience and for price groupings) 3 for 2 items all go together, all the squash go together, fruit and any items the need to be scaled go to the right end (from my side) where the scale goes. The scale is usually back about two tables from the end and toms and beans are to it's outside. We keep a small space (maybe 18") next to the scale and tape down our cheat sheets (one for product price and one each for weight/price conversions). Those W/P sheets are a real time saver - no need to stop and think what's 1.3 lbs at $2.50.lb. Those are laminated and we have them in the tote for each price amount from $1.25 to $2.50. Usually we only have two or at most three different per pound prices on any given day. We have tried a lot of different tags for pricing from laminated tags with the prices marked with a Sharpie to 4" by 3" plywood painted with chalkboard paint and marked with chalk. The problem always is by about 09:00 the prices would rub off. Now we just use 3X5 index cards taped to the table and marked with a Sharpie. Those are filled out the night before and stored in a little ziplock baggie in the cash box. They go on in front of the crate they pertain to, bags get hung along the table backs and the farm banner and SN/WIC signs go up. The last step is to set out the melons - they go into wagons and are placed in front of the tents. Sounds easy, right? With two of us it takes maybe 45 minutes to get set up (we usually put Dad filling quart/pint boxes and apple bags for reserves). On most Saturdays once the big items are off the trailer Dad and Kathy leave me and go to the other location and repeat the process (we have a couple of gals that work for us that meet them and help unload and sell then one of them comes out to the college and help me sell). I am usually all ready and have my shirt changed by 07:15 for the 08:00 market start so I have some time to do the little things like top off the starters and finish filling reserve bags and boxes (and get a cup of coffee and an Amish cinnamon roll). At the end of market we do it all in reverse. For us the system works pretty well as long as we keep organized.
Looks nice Tom, there is one question I have for everyone is sitting things on the ground, especially under the table that the customer is on the other side.
I really try not to do this as people bring pets to the market. One time, at market, a dog and his owner were buying something from a big outfit next to me and the dog raised his leg and peed on the corner of a full crate of green beans. I was about the only one who saw it.
I quickly went over and told them. The owner apologized, they pulled the tub out and set it by the truck. I got really busy and was minding my own business. At the markets end, I was loading up and that tub of green beans was about 3/4 gone. While I don't know for sure 100% if they sold them or if they had more in the van and this was a new crate, I stopped the practice of sitting anything under the table. Either I set it behind the table next to my truck or at the tables edge on myside (further from pets).
Just a thought from my experiences.
Here, everything has to be at least 6" off of ground and the Board of Health will check. Unfortunately just a pallet isn't the 6" required, it takes 2.
Dogs are not allowed at the large market, and started being enforced, really made some dog lovers mad and left the market.
tom, as usual, you told it well. We do alot of the same. Have changed over to the index cards, but don't write in the prices, I do save the good looking cards from week to week, unless prices change. Some people use recipe card boxes and save the cards alphabetical. I have got that organized.
Knock wood we have not had any real problems with dogs so far and we have a lot of dogs at market. Once a month Adopt-a-Dog brings a load of hounds out to Richland with volunteers to walk them around - sometimes it may be 20 or so. They stay about three hours and adopt out quite a few. Add to that all the other people that bring dogs and there are a lot of them around. The worst thing that we had happen dog-wise was one of the shelter dogs threw up in the commons area last summer (hot day+too much water=puke) but it was cleaned up pretty quick. Back when we started marketing Kathy always took her Husky to market - she was very well trained and behaved better than her kids (but you did not hear that from me). She became part of the booth and people looked forward to seeing her. However, I can see where dogs can cause problems - especially marking.
I can see the logic of wanting produce off the ground but it sounds like a real pain. Sometimes I think that health departments go looking for new ideas to justify their budgets for little or no benefit to public well-being. For the most part we are not able to park at the stands and keep extras on the trailer (although with melons I can park behind the booth) so everything has to be unloaded before the market. That would be just one more thing to worry about.
One small tip that I think would help a lot of newer vendors - when you arrive, be able to pull out your table first. Tables are easiest to haul when you lay them flat and then stack your produce on top. But then when you get to market, you have to unload the entire truck and set everything on the ground before you can get to your table. It's twice as much work.
I built a simple rack to hold our tables. Imagine putting two folding tables in the bed of a pickup, then standing a 2x10 board on either side, and covering the top of that with screwed down plywood. Produce can be stacked on top of the rack. But when we arrive at market, the tables slide out easily.
When we use the truck, our tables are along the sides, then strapped down. Makes it look like we could stack boxes and stuff higher and the tables will help keep from falling off the sides. my 4' tables fit along the tailgate. In my blazer, I only use 4' tables and they fit exactly behind the driver/passenger seats, which help to keep anything from coming forward and hitting us in the back of the head.
Canopies are along the side in the blazer, on the side that the 40 side of 40/60 back seat when folding down.
Just remember last thing in should be the first thing needed out.
I'll have to take some pics of how I load and my booth. I was thinking there is one other vendor with as much product as me and they always have two people. So if they had one, she would be last to get ready and last to leave, not me! I am going to experiment with letting customers fill their own baskets with potatoes, peppers, eggplant and summer squash- not tomatoes. We'll see if the time savings makes up for the hassle with the customer.
Basically the only other thing I can do to speed up is spend more time at the farm getting ready and I can't borrow time from there either. Unless maybe I got up earlier. I am up so late Wednesday night baking that I can't get up too early Thursday.
Obviously in 5 years I have thought things through pretty well and have a good routine but not good enough to be early in set up. A couple times mid season (early season I set up quickly) I was quicker but I had prepped Wednesday night and Thursday got everything boxed perfectly, that is I hadn't baked Wednesday and instead started prepping.
Can you do some things on tuesday evening to help with your set up? I have morning markets and always load the night before.
As far as letting the customers load their own baskets, I've found that they will load til it almost falls off. trying to get the most, I guess.
Sometimes, you just can't get any faster.
It is that Mongolian BBQ place where you load your bowl and they cook it in front of you. People can really load those bowls!
Ok so market report!!!
First of all I made $100 more than normal and broke the $300 barrier. I did a bunch of things differently to try to shorten set up. Picking and packing this morning was super hectic. there were tons of flowers ready to pick and I didn't notice how late it was getting. My mom was 'helping' but she is mostly just a distraction. I did get her to pick carrots and wash some stuff but mostly she just talks so much I can't think. I ran out of time to pick everything, nor could I have loaded anymore into my truck (see pics below).
Truck loaded to max. I call it Beverely Hillbilling it.
I did you fill your basket for eggplant, summer squash, peppers and potatoes and I think people liked it for everything but potatoes. Set up was indeed a bit quicker. I will tell you where I lose time- don't laugh- it is in being short. I can't reach to put signs on my canopy. I can't reach the box in the middle of the truck bed, or the box slid under a table, etc. I do need to organize things better so I am not moving boxes more than once to set up. Unloading them and setting them on a table, then grabbing another box that needs to be unloaded where the other box is... I need to plan that out better.
I understand being short, my DIL is 4'10" and she has trouble with that. We use an old hoe that isn't real sharp to 'pull' things out closer to the edge, where we can reach.
We also put our signs on the baskets/boxes with binder clips.
Those tips might work for you.
I did a little experimentation this week too, I look my brother in law with me to market. With being back in school, and only 30 minutes to set up (or less) when I get to the market, I knew I had to try.
My BIL is mentally disabled, but he does live on his own and drive himself, but he does a good job of listening. He just needed to speed up! I gave him 4 bags of peppers and ask him to put them out. I did other things and I turned around and he was sitting them out one by one. I had to explain we don't have time for sitting them out that neatly and grabbed a back and dumped them out!
Well he did save me lots of time restocking, stuff that I was running low on, so that was nice. He knew the prices and was able to take money and make change if needed. It was very nice to have his help.
His price was the best, a watermelon, a cantaloupe and meal for that evening! Until my production starts to drop, I am going to try to get him to come with me, at least until Late September!

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
I'm not a big drinker, or a big fan of fratastic crowds, so when it comes to St. Patty's Day, the thing I most look forward to isn't all the block parties, or the cry for "Carbombs!" at the bar. Call me an old soul (or Debbie McDowner), but I would much rather indulge in a thick slice of warm Irish Soda Bread, inordinately slathered with sweet butter.
In addition to some personal New Year's resolutions, I have a couple that have to do with lowering my impact on the earth and shrinking my carbon "foodprint".
I am pretty proud of my low-impact ways: I eat locally, I car share, I recycle, and I buy bulk from the co-op. In short, I live a lot of my life taking the environment and my impact on the environment into consideration.
But I've known for a while that I could do more, and have tailored a couple of resolutions to that end.
I know, fireworks and farmers aren't usually uttered in the same sentence, but why not? In San Francisco you can have up close and personal access to both at these special events. Every year KFOG puts on a fireworks extravaganza. You can fight the crowds on the pier or treat yourself to an upgrade. Head […]

Treasures to have and to hold at the Loeb Music Library
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News from Harvard schools, offices, and affiliates
Students who attended "Treasures of the Loeb Music Library," a Wintersession event hosted by Library Assistant Peter Laurence, Reference and Digital Program Librarian Kerry Masteller, and Music Reference and Research Librarian Liza Vick, arrived at the Merritt Room to a cross-section of the library's rare recordings, medieval manuscripts, annotated scores and early edition songbooks.
"The best part of a special collections open house is telling students they can turn the pages," said Masteller.
At her encouragement, a participant flipped through the heart-shaped "Chansonnier De Jean De Montchenu," a facsimile of a 15th-century collection of French and Italian secular music bound in red velvet.
Another paused at a set of three 1930s albums from the Timely Recording Company. The rare albums feature labor songs and artwork connected to the Communist Party, including compositions by Hanns Eisler and words by Berthold Brecht. Not long after the records were produced, growing concerns about the label's leftist ties led its founder to deny he created the materials.
"They're really unique," Laurence described. "These were the first three ever published on the label."
Other items on display hinted at the scope of the library's collection. A 1609 score written for qin, a Chinese musical instrument, is one of 19 in existence, and underwent conservation during the Qing Dynasty.
Also showcased was a more recent transcript of Bulgarian music as collected by Martha Forsyth in the early 1980s.
"It's interesting to look at even if you don't understand all the words," said Vick.

Class Action Suit Brought Against Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios
Two comedians who filed the suit say they worked on the show "Comics.TV," which has become a success, but were not paid expenses or residuals they were owed.
A class action suit was filed Friday against Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios and affiliated entities for breach of contract, unfair business practices and for not paying some employees the wages they say they were due.
The lawsuit in L.A. Superior Court was filed on behalf of the class by Bernadette Pauley and Thomas Clark, who say they were among hundreds of actors and comedians who worked for Comics Unleashed Productions on the syndicated show Comics.TV.
STORY: Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios Launches Legal Digital Network
Pauley says she hosted four episodes of Comedy.TV and that Clark performed as a stand-up comedian in at least one. They say they signed a contract that provided them with a salary and residual payments. Although their union and agents told them they were entitled to residuals, the defendants allegedly stalled and did not pay.
The suit claims that the show went on to success, not only in syndication, but also on a digital cable channel, Netflix, Verizon Fios and elsewhere. "Standing on the shoulders of the show's achievement, defendant Byron Allen Folks and his affiliate entities have been catapulted to celebrity status and enjoyed great success," says the suit.
The performers also claim in the suit that they had expenses related to air travel, car rentals, wardrobe and gasoline but were not repaid what they were owed, which is a violation of the labor code of law.
The suit estimates there are 112 actors and comedians who performed on the show.
There was no response to a request for comment from the publicist for Entertainment Studios.

How would you make boss fights better?
By LlamaLlama 12 Comments
So I finally got to start playing Enslaved, while neglecting my university midterm studying. I'm a slow player so I've just finished Chapter Two with its boss fight. It's the first action boss fight I've played since Prince of Persia, so I started thinking about the concept.
I've always found the idea of the patterns in a boss fight to be odd, I understand the concept, but it's not what I think makes it interesting. However, other games without them aren't much better. As much as I like Bioware, I've always found their boss fights to be rather lackluster.
So, what do you think would make boss fights better?
Personally, I think the spectacle should be increased. I've always like the action movies, like the Indy movies, where the hero gets the crap beaten out of him and overcomes the odds. Games like to enpower us, but than boss fights give away to three results:
1. You beat the crap out the boss
2. You get creamed
3. You win by the edge of your teeth
I want more of 3, even if it's more spectacle beyond your control. It's fun to be the enpowered hero, but the boss should a challenge, someone worthy of your effort. They should be your equal or better.
QTEs are a good way at this, but not what I'm going for, but than again, I have a terrible reaction time and button mashing skills. QTEs should never decide a fight, just add to the spectacle. I would go as far to say that they shouldn't cost you health, just making it seem like it's was a more challenging fight when you fail the QTE. I would even have successful counters that still end with you getting beaten up.
So once again, what would you do? I realise most of my ideas are merely cosmetic changes, but it is a start to brainstorming. What do you want? Or do I have it all wrong? (Probably)

More than 80,000 North Carolinians will be served by compressed natural gas vehicles.
The solid waste management firm Waste Industries USA Inc. (WI), headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., has launched the first compressed natural gas (CNG) station and fleet in the Cape Fear region of North Carolina. The company had launched a CNG station and fleet in Durham, N.C., in May of 2012.
The launch of WI's newest CNG station and fleet was held at the company's Bolivia Branch in Brunswick County, N.C., which is the home to 46 CNG filling points. The company says that 32 trucks and one service vehicle will operate using CNG and will service about 80,500 homes and businesses throughout the region. The station is not open to the public at this time.
"Since 1970, Waste Industries has been a leading innovator in the solid waste services industry," says Ven Poole, CEO of Waste Industries. "As part of our annual review, we concluded that CNG has become a viable long-term, low-cost alternative to diesel fuel. We are committed to converting our fleets to CNG whenever possible and are proud of our employees' and business partners' efforts to make this happen. We will continue protecting our environment and improving the quality of life in the communities we serve."
The WI project is the result of a partnership of services provided by Mansfield Energy Corp. (MEC), Gainesville, Ga.; and Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), Dallas. Mansfield provided the construction design, engineering and project management services for installing the fueling station. PNG will provide WI with natural gas service as well as the related infrastructure necessary to operate the CNG fleet.
"Piedmont Natural Gas is pleased to provide environmentally clean, safe, and efficient natural gas for Waste Industries' new compressed natural gas filling station. Further development of such CNG infrastructures – both public and private – is a vital component in fulfilling the promise that abundant, American natural gas holds for the transportation sector and for our economy in general," says Ken Valentine, PNG's vice president of business development and gas technology services.
"Waste Industries continues to provide real and tangible leadership in our country's transition to a clean burning domestic fuel," says J. Alexander, president, Mansfield Energy Corp. "We are proud to partner on the building of their CNG stations and maintaining those systems to provide reliable, affordable fuel for their fleet and lessen our dependency on foreign crude oil."
"Innovation and sustainability are more than just marketing jargon to our company. They are part of our 43-year heritage and ingrained in our corporate culture," concludes Poole.

Washington, DC
Looks like the rain will hold off until late morning for us tomorrow. I want to pass on some information about the meetup.

Since we will be there very early there should be plenty of street parking and I believe it's free on Sundays.
Use this address as a reference for parking:
1015 Thomas Jefferson Street NW DC 20007
If you park on Thomas Jefferson head south (downhill) toward the water to get to the Starbucks (opens at 0630)
Everybody is free to head out and shoot where ever they like but for those that would like to stay in a informal group I have come up with a plan.
I planned this walk via google maps and hopefully everything will work out. :)
Start shooting in Washington Harbour (at least until security kicks us out)
move to the water to shoot Kennedy Center, Rosslyn and Key Bridge.
Head North on Thomas Jefferson to The C and O canal area.
Follow canal left (west) to Wisconsin Ave
North on Wisconsin to left (west) on M street (look for Francis Scott Key Memorial)
Take M street to Route 29/Whitehurst Freeway/Exxon Station/3607 M street NW

Sink Scratches
My white (porcelain?) sink gets silvery scratch marks in it very easily. The first time I cleaned it I used soft scrub w/ bleach and they came off, but since then I haven't been able to remove them 100%. As it is I use so much of the stuff I have a hard time getting it all rinsed off. This sink seems high maintenance to me.
What causes these marks? Have any of you had any luck keeping them at bay or getting rid of them more easily?
Buy an alunimum polish called Cameo,and use it with a bleach cleaner.The polish will help move the finish of the porcelin to cover the scratches.To keep them at bay,buy some rubber sink mats to avoid getting them in the first place.The Cameo is a powder in a white plastic shaker can with a blue and silver label.In some stores it's sold by the powdered cleansers,in some stores by the silver polish.
the problem with vitreous china (porcelain) and enamel sinks is that the more you scrub, the more 'matte' the surface becomes, the more it invites stains, rub marks, and the like- trust me, I know, I've got a 70 year old enamel sink in my kitchen, and it SHOULD get bleached three times a week, if I wanted to dump that much poison into the system...
I'm solving it by ignoring the sink, and putting money away for a stainless steel sink.
I love porcelain sinks and you couldn't give me a ss sink! I guess it just depends on what you get used to having. I think Barkeepers Friend is probably one of my favorite cleaning solutions. I recently found it in the liquid, which is nice for quick jobs but my favorite is the powder form. It keep all of my porcelain sinks looking like new and I have 12 of them scattered throughout my home. I must admit we have only been in our new home 3 weeks, but I have always had porcelain and never a problem, once I discovered the Bar Keeper's Friend. Every time my MIL would come to visit she would always ask me if I had gotten a new kitchen sink, because it was so shiny and clean and every time I would tell her no, same kitchen sink she had been seeing for 15 years! ha
I accidentally scratched my white sink with a hairbrush I was washing.....yes, little "pencil like" marks were looking back at me....first tried the magic eraser - no luck! THEN tried rubbing toothpaste on the scratches and WOW! no more scratches! So then I worked on the tub and it worked for those scratches as well!
I have "pencil like" marks on my new fireclay sink also. What is the "rubbing toothpaste?" I can't seem to find anything with that name?

Fire crews at recycling plant blaze in Hull
Firefighters are at the scene of a recycling plant on an industrial estate on Hedon Road. The A1033 road is closed in both directions due to the fire.
BREAKING: Five people have died after Sheffield fire
Five people have died following a serious fire at a house in Sheffield. The blaze broke out in Sharrow early this morning.
The people who died are believed to be two adult females and three young children. An investigation has commenced, involving police and fire officers, to establish the cause of the fire.
Onion factory fire
Firefighters have been tackling a large fire at an onion factory in Sorby Street in Sheffield which started at noon on Saturday.
At its height eight fire engines were involved. Workers at the factory had all been evacuated safely before fire crews arrived.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus worked hard to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings on the commercial estate. On Sunday morning, one fire engine remained at the scene as a precaution.
An investigation into the cause of the fire will now take place.
Farm shop destroyed by fire to be rebuilt
A family-run farm shop in Huddersfield almost destroyed by fire is to be rebuilt.
Hinchcliffe's was struck by a devastating fire in 2010, but Kirklees Council has granted full planning permission for a new farm shop and restaurant on the site.
"The fire destroyed our buildings but it never destroyed our passion,' said director Simon Hirst. 'We've continued to provide pasture to plate food in the subsequent three years and have been consistently buoyed along the way by the enthusiasm and loyalty of both our staff and customers.
"This decision is great news for all of us – it's the best Christmas present any of us could have wished for."
Crossed wires - the misdirected 999 call
When Yorkshire farmer Rachel Robinson made a 999 call to the fire brigade after her farm had been targeted by arsonists, she assumed the brigade would come to her rescue in minutes.
But the fire service was on strike and what Rachel didn't know was that her emergency call had been misdirected to London. That left her and her husband to fight the fire at their farm near Halifax by themselves. Now the couple are demanding an explanation and an apology, as Chris Kiddey reports.
Second fire strike
In the next few minutes, members of the Fire Brigades Union will walk out for the second time in a week in a row over pensions.
The strike will last from 6am until 8am. A walk-out was also held on Friday night, which the fire service say "passed safely"
Firework code: how to enjoy the night safely
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is encouraging people to look at the firework code to make sure they stay safe. They say:
Young people should watch and enjoy fireworks at a safe distance and follow the safety rules for using sparklers. Only adults should deal with firework displays and the lighting of fireworks. They should also take care of the safe disposal of fireworks once they have been used.
Plan your firework display to make it safe and enjoyable
Keep fireworks in a closed box and use them one at a time
Read and follow the instructions on each firework using a torch if necessary
Light the firework at arm's length with a taper and stand well back
Keep naked flames, including cigarettes, away from fireworks
Never return to a firework once it has been lit
Don't put fireworks in pockets and never throw them
Direct any rocket fireworks well away from spectators
Never use paraffin or petrol on a bonfire
Make sure that the fire is out and surroundings are made safe before leaving
Woman rescued from "deliberate" house fire in Rotherham
A woman from Dinnington has been rescued by police officers this morning after a fire - thought to have been started deliberately.
At 5.05am, police were called to a house in Manor Road where they found a wheelie bin on fire, pushed up against a door of the property.
Officers led a 35-year-old woman from the house as fire fighters put out the blaze.
She was taken to Rotherham District General Hospital where she was treated for smoke inhalation and burns to her face.
A 23-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, and are currently in police custody.
Police believe this was an isolated incident.
Anyone with information is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
Warning not to hold bonfires tonight
Members of the Fire Brigades Union from all forces across our region will walk out from 6.30pm to 11pm tonight.
They will stage a second walk-out for two hours from 6am next Monday - the day before Bonfire Night.
There have been warnings not to hold bonfires tonight, but to wait until tomorrow.

Rolling Stone Daughter Makes Debut

ROLLING STONE rocker Ronnie Wood's daughter LEAH performed her debut British concert yesterday night (17DEC03) - at a South London pub.
The model-turned-singer launched her career at the HALF MOON pub in Putney, where her rocker dad and mum JO stood at the back cheering her on.
Her music was described by London's EVENING STANDARD newspaper, who reviewed the gig, as "light soul-pop numbers, with the odd bluesey lick, reminiscent of the chart-friendly work of Morcheeba or Kosheen."
The crowd at the concert were wholeheartedly supportive however, calling out "Go on Leah" at any opportunity.18/12/2003 17:14

As a precursor to the release, today titanic video portal, Metal Injection, is pleased to premiere a brand new video for the third track, "Immortal Mutilation." Elaborates the ESCHATON collective, "'Immortal Mutilation' was the chosen track for our first single off Sentinel Apocalypse because it takes many of the core themes that you will be seeing from ESCHATON, puts them in a spiked-chain-mail sack, and uses it to beat the listeners within a breath of their lives. The track is particularly aggressive, technical, dynamic, and innovative with chaotic riffing and blasting. Lyrically, the song tells the harsh truth that one must mutilate their innocence in order to survive one's enemies, transforming into a beast, but then comes to the realization that existence is codependent with the very thing that one once despised."

The Hypothesis is the forthcoming new long player from Bay Area technical death metal architects CONTINUUM. Recorded predominantly by lead guitarist/composer Chase Fraser (Decrepit Birth, Animosity), with additional tracking and mixing by Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Fallujah, All Shall Perish et al.) at Castle Ultimate Studios, the ten-track The Hypothesisspews forth a scathing assemblage of engaging, abrasive, surgically precise and unrepentantly violent compositions based conceptually on the mysteries of the infinite and the unsolved theories of the "continuum hypothesis." This hypothesis was studied by a number of mathematicians, many of whom committed suicide before reaching a conclusion to the unfathomable question of infinity. (Read More…)

Elaborates the band, "We get a lot of inspiration from the experience of just being in a band. All the conflicts and resolutions throughout the years have all molded the way we approach our songs. We've always been the type of musicians that take the next step to further our skill but collectively and as an entity we strive to convey the jaded sense of growing older into our music. Like Revelation, there is a melodic and lyrical progression that all leads up to cathartic resolution. It takes you on a journey of emotional high points ranging from the good, bad and unforgiveable.". (Read More)

Isn't that the definition of "introvert"?
My personal theory is that once you observe one particle, the universe splits into two separate realities.
I love this idea, thanks for replying, I'll be thinking about that all day
That's why there's still controls to drive it non autonomously.
And if that is the response, that is why autonomous cars will NEVER work on public roads.
Either the car drives itself 100% of the time, or I drive it 100% of the time.
If someone thinks that you're going to be driving along in your car not paying attention to the road, and suddenly the computer is doing to say "fuck it, I don't know, you do it" they're complete morons.
It sounds silly but that's exactly how autopilot and fly by wire systems work in Airbus and Boeing aircraft and they have hundreds of passengers at a time.
It's not about cost. It's about design. They used to build things to last.
Did they really? Then why isn't our world still full of old working things that require no maintenance? I mean I can agree with the impression that things used to be built to last, but I think it might have more to do with the fact that old things were put together by hand, and were very big and electronic components were big and simple. It used to be easy to find a faulty component and fix it, but now that everything's been shrunk and stuck on a chip it's no longer simply a matter of replacing a universally available component, you have to find and buy the correct chip, which can cost more than just going down to the shop and getting a new entire product. Old things are still around and have the fame of being reliable because they are simple to fix.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

A stereoplotter uses stereo photographs to determine elevations. It has been the primary method to plot contour lines on topographic maps since the 1930s. Although the specific devices have advanced technologically, they are all based on the apparent change in position of a feature in the two stereo photographs.
Stereoplotter process[edit]
The stereoplotter requires two photographs that have considerable overlap (60%) and are corrected for distortion due to angle of photo. The photos are put onto transparent media and projected with a light source. Each image will be projected with overlap on the other. The operator, using a special set of optics, would then see the image as three-dimensional due to the differing perspective of each photo.
The optics of the stereoplotter is what allows the operator to plot the contours and features. The light source used to project the photo is what begins the process. One photo is projected using cyan/blue filter and the other photo is projected with a red filter. The operator wears a special set of glasses that have the same color filter for lenses. Seeing the left photo in blue light while the left eye has the blue filter and the right photo projected with red light and the right eye seeing through the red filter, the overlapping image becomes three-dimensional. The images will have control points that detail how the overlap of the photos should occur. The resultant overlapping image is called an anaglyph and is a three-dimensional model of the terrain. Once the two photos are projected and the desired control points aligned the operator will then start to record the desired elevations on the terrain by "flying" a light spot along the contours. If the light spot appears to hover above the terrain or appears to dive into the terrain, the operator knows that he has moved it too far away from a slope or too far toward a slope, respectively.
Originally, stereoplotters recorded the path of the flying light spot by directly scribing the path on a sheet of acetate or polyester coated with an opaque lacquer, which could be photographed to make the topographic map printing plates. If mistakes were made during contour tracing, the operator would daub some lacquer on the incorrect trace, allow it to dry and then try flying the light spot again. Current systems that use digital capture techniques allow simple erasure of part of the faulty data vector in computer memory, whereupon digitizing can resume. The digital database is then combined in a graphics program with annotations and symbols, ultimately being used to produce the map printing plates with a photoplotter.
The stereoplotter serves an important need of allowing aerial photos to become the base for contours and elevation maps. In the United States the largest use of topographic maps is the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS has cataloged all of the territory of the United States and has produced topographic sheets for all of it. The sheets are most often used as 7.5' maps. This means there is 7.5' (0.125 degree) latitude by 7.5' (0.125 degree) longitude.
Stereoplotter evolution[edit]
Stereoplotters have changed as technology has improved. The first stereoplotters where projection stereoplotters they used only the light rays and optics to adjust the image. The Kelsh Plotter is an example of the projection stereoplotters. The analog stereoplotters came next and were more sophisticated in that they used more sophisticated optics to view the image. The analytical stereoplotter is used today. It incorporates a computer which does the work of mathematically aligning the images so that they line up properly. The analytic stereoplotter also allows for storing the data and redrawing at any desired scale.
Future outlook[edit]
Lidar (light radar) has complemented and often times replaced the stereoplotter for gathering elevation data. Lidar uses a laser pulse directed at features and detects the amount of time between when the pulse is emitted and when it is detected to determine the difference in elevations.

Best Potty-Training Techniques
Potty training a child is no easy task. Although children will respond to each potty-training method individually, there are a few techniques that mothers swear by and experts approve. It is important to pinpoint your child's temperament before beginning the toilet training process and to experiment with different methods. Total potty training will not be achieved overnight, and parents should expect trial and error. Keep a schedule. Children respond well to schedules. If you have found that your child functions best with schedules for sleep and other activities, then a toilet training schedule is probably going to be effective. Build a reasonable schedule that is right for you and your child and be sure to stick with it. Be clear with nannies, babysitters and childcare workers about your child's potty schedule for the best results. Give rewards. The reward method often works well for children. Many children will find potty training more trouble than it is worth and rewards can give them an incentive to do their best. Determine a reward for your child. Small pieces of candy, sticker charts and pennies for their piggy bank are all good options. Explain the reward system to your child when you are talking about potty training. Make sure you frequently ask your child if she has to use the toilet, and take her to the bathroom each time she says she must go. If you prefer to avoid material rewards, use extra praise or a made-up song, dance or story as a potty reward. Let your child set the timetable. Waiting until your child is ready for potty training is highly effective, low stress and recommended by many pediatricians. When you feel the time is right, show your child how to use the toilet. Books, DVDs and CDs with toilet training lessons can also be effective. While this method will take some time and patience, eventually your child will take interest in potty training and get the hang of it. Using a schedule and reward system when your child is starting to comprehend potty training can help him make the connection. If your child is resistant to potty training, give him some more time and let him take a natural interest.

Treadmills vs Elliptical Trainers
New variations of tried-and-true exercise machines are always being introduced to the market as the technology of exercise equipment improves. Two exercise machines that have gained popularity are elliptical trainers and treadmills. A major advantage to elliptical trainers is that they possess little risk of injury to the knees, hips, back or ankles. Meanwhile, treadmills are home gym machines on which you can run, walk or jog. The treadmill has been in the marketplace for a long time and is a long-standing piece of standard equipment for most exercise enthusiasts. Elliptical Machines: Elliptical machines present a lower risk of injury to the body. This home gym machine allows the individual to stand in an upright position while supporting her upper body by holding onto the handrails. The individual is able to pick out what muscles to train by shifting the strength on the legs or the arms. This provides for a more flexible workout machine. The machine bears its name because it works to copy the foot's elliptical motion as well as the rotation of the hip during walking or running. Advantages of Elliptical Machines: Since elliptical machines work the upper and lower body, they help you reach your target heart rate more optimally, providing a better cardiovascular workout overall. Individuals can burn a larger number of calories in a shorter period of time. Muscles that benefit from this machine include the legs, shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps and the back. Elliptical machines are also relatively easy to operate and are energy efficient because they do not use much electricity. Treadmills: Traditional treadmills were developed to help you walk, run or jog. Treadmills differ in advantages as there are some machines that have programs that can be customized based on your weight and fitness level. You can also manually control the program to increase or decrease the speed, the incline or the duration of the workout. Walking on a traditional treadmill, however, creates more impact on the knees and hips and may be a cause of injury for some users. Advantages of Treadmills: Some treadmill models have a cushioned surface to support the knees and other parts of the body. With these models, there is a lower risk of injury and an increased level of comfort for the user. Moreover, treadmills provide you with the option to run, jog or walk in the comfort of the gym. Also, you can burn calories by increasing the heart rate, providing a good cardiovascular workout. Buy Home Gym Machines Back to Guides Directory Buy Home Gym Machines
How to Choose Weight-lifting Gloves
Having the appropriate weight training equipment and accessories, like weight-lifting gloves, is essential to avoid injuries when you're doing muscle training. Weight-lifting gloves help weight lifters minimize the possibility of injury by providing a better grip on the weight so that it doesn't slip free. Wearing a good weight-lifting glove will also help prevent blisters and the tearing of calluses. If you've been strength training without quality lifting gloves, you may be surprised at how much difference they can make. Keep reading for more information on how to choose a weight-lifting glove that's right for you.
How to Compare Weighted Vests
If you want to add resistance to your core training workout, strap on a weighted vest. Ideal for aerobic exercise as well as sporting competitions and training sessions, weighted vests can provide one pound to 60 pounds or more of added weight to allow you to perform sports and recreational activities under more challenging conditions. Some weight vests are designed with removable weights that are added to inside pockets, which can then be taken out as needed. Weight vests are designed for male and female athletes and sports enthusiasts alike as well as those just wanting to increase the resistance level of their fitness and core training during exercise.
