Web Surfing: Poor Specimen Productions Partners with CHNL to Launch Online Surf Movie Streaming
Surf movie production house Poor Specimen launches a new website offering movie back-catalogue and new releases via breakthrough streaming option
Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) November 18, 2011
Poor Specimen are today set to unveil a new website featuring breakthrough streaming technology that will bring their extensive movie back-catalogue to a new audience.
Poor Specimen is the production house of surf filmmaker Taylor Steele, who says âœIâm really excited to bring all of the movies weâve created over the years together in one collection. I think a lot of our fans will be surprised at how much material there is that they havenât seen.â
The website, created in partnership with CHNL, allows users to stream HD content without downloading, and to access that content from almost any connected device. In addition to the back-catalogue and new releases, the site will provide exclusive content not available anywhere else. âœCHNL provides us an easy way to consolidate and distribute content with full control over the pricing and access. We also like the ability to stay connected directly to our fans and leverage social media to promote our filmsâ stated Steele.
âœWeâre excited to have Poor Specimen on CHNL,â said John Wander, CEO of CHNL. âœTaylor Steele represents the pinnacle of surf films and their selection of CHNL as the exclusive online venue for streaming and purchasing films allows us to show off what CHNL can do for filmmakers and all other type of publishers.â
Streaming options will include the Classic Movie Pass, which for a one-time payment offers viewers unlimited access to all the classics and titles previously not available on DVD such as Factory Seconds, Friday the 17th, and BottomLine. 5% of the proceeds from the movie pass will benefit Surf Resource Network's "Create Your Future" International Photography Program. Alternatively viewers can select unlimited streaming access to single movie titles starting from just $5.95.
The movies available for streaming will also extend beyond Poor Specimen classics to future releases including an as-yet-unnamed Pacific swell movie and the upcoming Yesterdays â" The Momentum Lost Tapes (coinciding with the 20-year anniversary) both slotted for a 2012 release. Taylor explains Yesterdays is a re-visioning of archival footage that didnât find itâs way to screens. âœI just wanted to make a little movie from all this extra footage. Weâve been digging up all the old tapes and going through memory lane. All the trips with friends and good times have all come storming back. Itâs been a lot of funâ"there is some classic footage that hasnât been seen.â
The new Poor Specimen website will also house news feeds from Taylorâs various other projects, making it the one-stop location to keep up with everything from his revolutionary online platform innersection.tv, to varied artistic endeavors at vby.tv, which features Taylorâs ventures into music videos, commercials, short films and more.

I feel kind of silly asking this question, but I'm mostly a sock and unfitted garment knitter: When reading the finished bust measurements, do I assume the numbers given are the true finished measurements and that the ease is built into that number? For example, if I have a 36 inch bust, would I knit the 40 bust size and then have the 4 remaining inches for my ease (40-36=4 inches ease)? Thanks for any help!
I have the same question only my bust is 38. That would leave me 2 inches of ease I guess. Is that enough for me to wear something underneath or should I go up a size?
I also was wondering about this. I have a 36 inch bust. I'm hoping to use some Blue Sky Cotton that I have in my stash, but would only have enough to make the 36" sweater. I 've made sweaters in the past that didn't end up fitting exactly how I had imagined and want this one to be perfect! I remember Sandi did an entire series on negative ease, so I'm going to see if I can find those e-mails again. I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Welcome to the KAL, ladies! I would leave yourself 4 inches of ease so you can comfortably wear something underneath the sweater.
For future posts on this KAL, please post replies only to this post: http://www.knittingdaily.com/forums/t/3485.aspx.

Latino Workers in the Ongoing Recession: 2007 to 2008
A new report from the Pew Hispanic Center finds that a small but significant decline has occurred in the share of Latino immigrants active in the U.S. labor force during the current recession. The report, Latino Workers in the Ongoing Recession: 2007 to 2008 (31 pages, PDF), found that the number of Latino immigrants in the labor force fell by 1.1 percent between 2007 and the close of the third quarter of 2008, following a steady increase in foreign-born Latino labor force participation rate since 2003. Over the same period, the labor force participation rate was essentially unchanged for non-Hispanics and native-born Hispanics. Although the growth in the immigrant Latino population has leveled off in recent years, the report was unable to determine whether a certain percentage of the foreign-born Latinos who left the labor force returned to their countries of origin.

Removed and replaced bottom spacer ( this had busted tabs and caused noise during agitation), greased all appropriate points with silicon grease..lithium would have been better...ordered wrong agitator so put old undamaged one back with new dogs which fit. Snugged down bolt..runs like new machine again.

Texas A&M-Kingsville men, women fall to conference foes
STEPHENSVILLE - The Texas A&M-Kingsville men's basketball team was dealt a 65-46 loss at Lone Star Conference South Division rival Tarleton State late Saturday.
The Javelinas (6-12, 1-5) fell behind early after the Texans (14-4, 5-1) scored the first 13 points of the game. The Javelinas briefly pulled to within single digits in the first half, but the Texans proved to be too tough to score against. TSU limited the Javelinas to 32 percent shooting from the field.
In the second half, the Texans led by as many as 30 points after a 22-3 run that started near the end of the first half and lasted until the Javelinas scored their second bucket of the second half with 9:01 remaining in the game.
Mark Stevenson led the Javs with 16 points and eight rebounds off the bench. He went 6-of-9 from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
The Texas A&M-Kingsville women's basketball team committed 25 turnovers in their 81-61 loss at Tarleton State.
The Javelinas (3-15, 1-5) briefly took a first half lead over the TexAnns (16-2, 6-0) with 6:38 remaining. Freshmen Novella Thomas and Chelsea Solis hit back-to-back jumpers for the Javelinas, but Lisa Parker responded with a 3-pointer for the TexAnns on their next possession to reclaim the lead. TSU closed the first half on a 17-3 run to take a 39-27 lead at the break.
In the second half, the Javelinas pulled to within six points on three occasions. The final time came after Breanna Gonzalez knocked down a pair of free throws with 16:17 remaining in the game and the score was 47-41. The TexAnns quickly responded with a 22-4 run over the next 6:53 to put the game away.
Both Javelinas team are back in action Wednesday night at home against West Texas A&M, starting with the women's team at 6 p.m. and men's game to follow.

Fatalities in Cagayan ambush rise to 8
More News from Jamie Marie Elona
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines— The number of fatalities in the ambush of the Philippine National Police's elite unit in Cagayan has risen to eight.
The ambush staged by the New People's Army rebels at 8:30 a.m. in Allacapan town left seven officers of the Special Action Force dead on the spot and the eighth commando member died later in hospital, police said.
The SAF is an elite police unit trained in counter-insurgency tactics that is typically involved in security operations against communist rebels.
Killed on the spot were Police Officer 3 Vladimir Tabarejo, PO2 Elmark Rodney Pinated, PO2 Dexter Cubilla, PO1 Erick Brioso, PO2 Angelbert Mateo, PO1 Jerome Sanchez, PO2 Jonnel Bowat.
Another officer, PO2 Ronald Castulo, was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
Seven others were wounded and were taken to the Balesteros District Hospital, Orlanes said. They were identified as follows:
PO2 Ronald Gomez, PO1 Ephraim Dolete, PO2 Geopano Adangui, PO1 Ryan Asunio, PO2 Ricky Monay Agana, PO2 Jeofrey Liagao Amiligan Liaga, and PO2 Jeofrey Elasco.
The ambush was the latest in a series of attacks by the rebels this year that have left dozens of people dead.
Inspector Cesar Orlanes, Cagayan police spokesman, said the officers were on their way to a medical exam in Allacapan, about 400 kilometers north of Manila, when a landmine exploded under their vehicle, followed by firing from the guerrillas.
He said the suspects were a group of about 30 men.
PNP spokesman, Chief Superintendent Generoso Cerbo, said that after the landmine exploded, "they were shot by armed men" who were positioned on an elevated area.
Police were checking reports that the group belongs to the Danilo Ben Command.
taken by the armed group.
The firearms of the slain policemen were taken by the group.
"Handa naman yung grupo at naka laban din. Naunahan lang talaga (The officers were prepared and were able to fight back but they were outgunned)," he said.
Authorities have launched hot pursuit operations for the possible arrest of the perpetrators, Cerbo said.
"With what happened in Cagayan, there's an order now for all units to maintain a very high standard of alertness and operational readiness," Cerbo said, adding that units should also review its corresponding defense plans.
The NPA has been waging a 44-year-old Maoist armed campaign that has claimed at least 30,000 lives, according to a government estimate.
The government said in April peace talks with the communists had collapsed and a target of ending the insurgency by 2016 was impossible to achieve.
The NPA, which is believed to have about 4,000 fighters, has conducted a series of high-profile attacks this year.
The deadliest occurred in January, when nine police and security forces were killed in another ambush. Last month rebels also killed two aides of a town mayor who is a member of President Benigno Aquino III's Liberal Party. With a report from Agence France Presse

BEAVERTON, Ore. A stranger opened his wallet to help a family who needed a break Wednesday, or in this case, actually two brakes.
Chassidi Papas said she knew her brakes were going bad, so she went to a Beaverton mechanic s shop to get them checked.
Turns out, the problem was even worse than she thought.
The brake pads and the rotor all needed to be replaced. She was told it would cost $200 and she did not have that much money.
But Papas said she desperately needed to get the brakes repaired so she could safely transport her four kids around.
That s when the man standing behind her in line spoke up. Mario Siguenza didn t know Papas but he wanted to help.
I offered to pay for it. At first she refused, I called her bluff and I insisted, Siguenza said.
I m trying to hold back tears right now. It touched my heart, Papas said.
It had even the techs tearing up, added Brake Team manager Al Slatosch.
Even though Siguenza downplayed his good deed, Papas called it a gift from God.

Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759): Chöre "The People Shall Hear!"
- Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759)
- Chöre "The People Shall Hear!"
- Carolyn Sampson, Robin Blaze, David Hill
- Super Audio CD i **;
Tonformat: multichannel (Hybrid)
- Künstler: Carolyn Sampson, Robin Blaze, The Bach Choir, The English Concert, David Hill
- Label: BIS, DDD, 2008
- Bestellnummer: 9586749
- Erscheinungstermin: 24.3.2009
ProduktinfoDespite the fact that he wrote a large number of operas and instrumental works, Handel is often perceived as a choral composer – or, more specifically, as the composer of the Hallelujah chorus. That particular piece is of course included on the present disc – as is He saw the lovely youth from Theodora, which Handel himself is reported to have preferred to Hallelujah, and indeed to all of his other choruses. Spanning in time from Zadok the Priest, one of the four Coronation Anthems of 1727, to the aforementioned 'He saw …' composed in 1750, this programme consists largely of great moments from Handel's oratorios, but also from odes such as Alexander's Feast and L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. The latter work is represented by Or let the merry bells, in which the lively soprano solo (sung by Carolyn Sampson), accompanied by a sparkling carillon, is lulled to sleep by the choir. Counter-tenor Robin Blaze also make a guest appearance, singing the alto solo in The mighty pow'r from Athalia. But on this disc of 'Great Handel Choruses' the limelight belongs to the choir, and a great choir it is! With its more than 200 active members, The Bach Choir is an institution in the golden British oratorio tradition, its musical directors including Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir David Willcocks, and now David Hill, who conducts it on this recording. The choir and soloists are supported by The English Concert, one of the world's foremost baroque orchestras, adding a wide palette of instrumental colours in large set pieces like Zadok the Priest as well as in the gently sensual and intimate May no rash intruder, the so-called 'Nightingale Chorus', with flutes imitating birdsong.

Master Makeover: DIY Map Chart, Antlers & Chair Reupholstery
13 comments:
Oh, I LOVE the map! I planned something like your DIY as well (because the original ones are much too expensive…), but I haven't found a great print of an old map yet… But one day I will have a map on my walls ;)ReplyDelete
I love all of these projects! And that second to last picture is absolutely beautiful! Can you tell me the name of the dark gray paint color? It's such a pretty contrast to the light colors!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Allison! It's Valspar's Ocean Storm.Delete
I love all of them, but the map art is my favorite. I still can't get over your dresser. Swoon! Hope to score a curvy one on Craigslist soon.ReplyDelete
I am so in love with this space.... So inspired!! I am on pins and needles in excitement waiting for the full reveal!!!ReplyDelete
I enjoy your blog so much. You projects look amazing. Thanks so much for sharing the map art tutorial. I've had my eye on a few from Etsy. So glad to know I can achieve the look for a lot less.ReplyDelete
So jealous of all your flea market bargains! I really like how the chair turned out. I have an old school map just waiting for inspiration to strike as far as where to hang it goes, so maybe I'll look a little harder after this.ReplyDelete
It's fun seeing these smaller projects that add to the flavor of the space. Love the rustic touches! I also am smitten with that dresser and how it turned out, after the frustrating process you endured. All's well that ends well ! Joss and Main recently featured some pieces like this for some pretty steep prices. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to the days you post a reveal.ReplyDeleteReplies
It looks so good! I have found some great deals on antlers in my neck of the woods too and I just love them! Can't wait to see the whole room!ReplyDelete
They look great and oh my your walls and ceiling are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Wow! It's really great idea to make this beautiful map holder at our home. I love all the projects that you have shared with us. Thanks for sharing such creativity.ReplyDelete

I cannot praise this location and accommodation enough. I had a fabulous week in this cottage which is of a very high standard. It has a great view of the ocean, with restaurants close by. I would highly recommend Spain's for a steak. The hot tub is a fantastic way to relax at the end of the day. The nautical theme of the cottage is very fitting. I will definitely be returning to this superb beach house.

Anyone who has been vegan for any length of time can probably relate to being annoyed by some of the most frequently reoccurring questions and statements.
There are few occasions where being a vegetarian is particularly depressing, and most of them involve social gatherings around a grill.
It's clear that the July 4th barbecue is all about the meat. As American as apple pie? I think not.
When you bite into a hamburger or steak, you already know the cost to the cow, but what about the wolves, coyotes, bears and other wildlife that were killed in getting that meat to your plate?
Across the country, consumers are demanding the right to know what is in their food, and labeling of genetically engineered food. It's a vibrant and diverse coalition: mothers and grandmothers, health libertarians, progressives, foodies, environmentalists, main street conservatives and supporters of free-market economics.
Why cook meat when summer produce is this good?
Veganism isn't just another annoying dietary fad; in fact, it's well documented that a plant-based diet is nutritionally appropriate and can even benefit human health.

Exhaust Temperature
Does anyone know what temperature the exhaust gas might reach on a raw water cooled marine diesel (a 1977 Yanmar YSB8) and/or how hot the exhaust elbow will get? I know that raw water engines seem to operate at a temperature around 140F, but presumably the exhaust gas and elbow exceed this.
The elbow will be much hotter. The injected raw water will not be able to cool all of it. Mine, a raw water-cooled MD17C is far, far too hot to touch.
It is a tough call to know how hot the hottest part of it would be.

Even as space scientists at Sriharikota have begun the countdown prior to the launch of the country's maiden navigation satellite on July 1, preparations have begun in far-away Kourou in South America to fly yet another national satellite, INSAT-3D.
The flight is set for July 26, roughly between 1.15 a.m. and 3 a.m. (IST).
ISRO's launch contractor for INSAT-3D, the European Arianespace, said the 2,100-kg advanced weather satellite had cleared a pre-launch checkout process.
Its solar panels were deployed for routine testing by an ISRO team that is in the French Guiana spaceport.
Numbered VA214, the Ariane-5 launch vehicle has been brought into the Final Assembly Building and is being readied for the flight, an Arianespace release said.
It will also carry Europe's advanced telecommunications spacecraft, the Alphasat.
ISRO is a prime customer of Arianespace; it contracts Ariane launcher to put its communication satellites into an orbit 36,000 km above earth. It is yet to fully achieve its own capability in this class with the GSLV, although it can put smaller satellites into lower orbits on the PSLV rocket.

Christian groups in Maharashtra on Monday took umbrage at a 2013 calendar showing Jesus Christ holding a cigarette and a beer and urged the state government to initiate action.
Stating that their religious sentiments had been "insulted", Catholic Secular Forum (CSF) president Joseph Dias said, "This blasphemous picture has been printed in December and around 30,000 of these offensive copies have already been circulated in the market."
Tanaji D Lonkar, a former Shiv Sena municipal corporator, purportedly published a calendar with the "offensive" picture of Jesus Christ. Lawyers Vikram E Amolik and Pankaj K Bhandari have filed private criminal complaints regarding the calendar before a Pune court and the matter is expected to come up for hearing soon, Dias added.
However, Lonkar has sought to dissociate himself from the issue, saying the printer had downloaded the image from internet. Lonkar said he has withdrawn the calendar.
Pointing out to routine attacks on tribal Christians in Palghar region of Thane over the past few months, Dias added that local radical elements were leading these attacks but nothing has been done despite several complaints. "The government inaction has only created a feeling of insecurity among Christians," Dias said.
While threatening to launch an agitation unless the state government acted immediately and brought the culprits to book, Dias said, "When two girls posted on Facebook on late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's death, the government took immediate action as it was a political issue."
In another instance, a post on social networking website Facebook showing Mother Mary ordering Christ to "clean up" has angered the community. In the post, Mother Mary is depicted saying: "Jesus! Look at this mess! Clean up your room now!"
"When there were objections to the post, the author apologised, but in a very nasty manner using the 'F' word, which made it even worse," CSF president Dias added.

Tressel mum on plans for Wells vs. Ohio
Updated: September 3, 2008, 1:31 PM ETESPN.com news services
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Coach Jim Tressel has some reassuring words for all those fretful Ohio State fans who have had trouble sleeping since tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells hit the deck with a right foot injury on Saturday.
"Tell them to worry about Gustav and Rita and those kinds of things," Tressel said Tuesday. "Beanie's going to be fine."
Wells was in obvious pain in the moments after he fell to the turf in the third quarter of Saturday's 43-0 victory over Youngstown State. He was almost ...

Louise Herring Award
Louise Herring was an active supporter, organizer and champion of credit unions. She was the Ohio delegate to the 1934 national credit union conference in Estes Park, Colorado, where she signed the original constitution for a national credit union association. Louise Herring believed that credit unions should work in a practical manner to better people's lives. She saw the credit union as more than just a financial institution. In her own words, "The purpose of the credit union is to reform the financial system, so that everyone can have his place in the sun."
To promote credit union philosophy by formally recognizing credit unions that demonstrate in an extraordinary way the practical application of that philosophy for their members.
Prior to judging, ensure you verify the credit union's asset size. Each league will select winners from each of the following categories:
- Less than $50 million
- $50 - $250 million
- $250 million - $1 billion
- $1 billion+
- Credit union chapter/multiple credit union group
Only the first place winner in each category will advance to the national competition.
The program entry form must be completed and submitted with the entry. (Entries received at the national level without completed entry form will be returned.) Credit unions will submit to their league a project binder, album, or spiral bound book, along with a completed, typed entry form (required), and 2 years' (current and previous year required) balance sheets and income statements and/or NCUA's Financial Performance Report (FPR). Support materials for the project should be included in the binder, album, or book. Please no electronic media.
Before entries are judged, analyze the financial statements to determine whether the credit union is operating in a safe and sound manner. This criterion must be met in order for a credit union's entry to be considered for the award.
Eligible Activities
Credit unions could receive an award for programs or policies that demonstrate their commitment to the practical application of the "People Helping People" philosophy. Some examples of eligible activities are:
- Provisions for the small saver or borrower
- Member programs for groups that are often economically challenged
- Internal programs or services that help to differentiate the credit union from other financial services' providers
- Programs that do an extraordinary job of encouraging thrift and provide a source of unbiased money management and consumer information, which would be difficult or impossible to obtain elsewhere
- Evidence of an exceptional degree of service to members

I've been beading for about twenty years (primarily as a hobby), mostly selling my work at church craft shows. I have been thinking about selling online and would like some advice. Does anyone have experience with online craft malls or do you have your own site? How do you accept payment? Do you have to mass-produce? Currently I am not set up to take credit cards, and most of my work is one-of-a-kind (but affordable).
Any help will be appreciated!
I used to own a brick-and-mortar fine craft gallery with two other women where I sold my work. Sadly, that partnership did not work out and I had to leave.
I now have my own website, www.vanbeads.com, which is undergoing some major renovations. I also have my work on consignment in several different galleries and museum shops around the country, and I seem to do very well that way. Consignment is tricky, however. My best advice for consignment is:
1. Make sure whoever is consigning has a well-written contract. If you're not sure about the contents of the contract, get an attorney to look it over for you. Always make sure that in the event of fire, flood or theft that you will be compensated for at least part of the work.
2. Get references from other people who consign their work there, if possible.
3. Keep a detailed record of what you leave, when pieces sell, and when you are paid by the gallery or store.
You can also try opening up a store on Etsy at www.etsy.com.
As for taking credit cards, if you have a checking account, you can accept credit cards through PayPal at www.paypal.com.
Good luck!

I do a lot of selling locally through word of mouth. My mother has sold more jewelry for me than I have. She will take my inventory to work with her for about a week (always on the week that they get paid on Friday) and will do this about every 3 months.
I do have my own website, but currently am not set up to accept payments so right now it's more of a gallery for my online stores. I may eventually move all my online sales to my own site, but for now selling elsewhere works for me. I sell my photography and related items at CafePress.com, and my jewelry through etsy.com.
There are a variety of online storefronts out there, sites like etsy.com, icraft.ca, bigcartel.com, RubyLane.com, eCrater.com. These sites generally have some sort of fees associated with them, but in exchange for fees they handle all the site hosting and money transactions. Generally, credit cards are processed through PayPal. I have seen an increase in the # of people using RevolutionMoneyExchange although it's still pretty new so some people are shying away from it for now. Google also has it's own online payment processing but I don't know what it's called right offhand.
I've looked around at several online storefronts, and for the most part they all seem pretty easy to get set up and customize to your personal need. The biggest thing to get your work out there for sale is to link back to your storefront like MAD, and network. There are thousands and thousands of people who have their own online stores and creating a niche for yourself and your own work will take time and effort on your part, but it's certainly do-able. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
PS-I had a woman approach one of my customers regarding a wire-wrapped turquoise pendant she was wearing that I made. This lady was trying to set up a 'booth' in a regional artsy marketplace and was looking for consignment sellers. I did communicate with the woman but ultimately decided her terms were unacceptable--she wanted 30% commission, 35% any month the sales were over $500, and offered NO protection against loss, theft, or damage. When I did email her that I couldn't do business with her under these terms but hoped she may be able to negotiate, I NEVER heard from her again. As much as I would LOVE to get my name out there, I refuse to turn my inventory over to someone who wants a full third f the profits but has no plan in place to protect me-the artist-and my inventory against theft, loss, damage. How am I to know this person wouldn't just start pocketing inventory for herself or friends/family?

I've been selling on Etsy.com for awhile now, and I really love that as a venue for one of a kind artwork. It's fun, nicely presented and easy for customers to use. That's the venue I choose for finished work such as jewelry and wearable items, as well as destashing my beads stash on occasion.
As for my handmade beads, I prefer my own website, with a little on Etsy every now and then. That way I don't have to pay as many fees associated with selling the higher end beads that I make. Ebay charges just way too much these days.
As for online craft malls - I personally have tried that route and find that they charge too much for my own personal comfort, and the traffic is not all that fabulous. If you can afford the time and effort of building your own website and marketing it, I would highly recommend that route. Otherwise, Etsy seems to be a really great venue for jewelry makers these days, IMO.

Hi Debra,
I've been selling my work (well, trying to lol!) for a couple of years now. I did a lot of 'direct' selling last year and the year before, at craft shows and so on, with mixed results. (I started submitting projects to magazines to compensate for the fact that my finished jewellery didn't sell very well!) This year because of health issues I can't do craft shows so I've opened up a shop on Etsy.com - I've been very impressed so far, it's gone much better than I expected, and surprisingly it's the hitherto unsaleable big beadwoven items that are selling best! I take payments via PayPal, which seems to work fine. I do also have a website but it's a gallery of my work that links to my Etsy shop. The key is definitely lots and lots and LOTS of promotion - I take business cards wherever I go, and always try to wear my own beadwork!
Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hello Debra!
I am Debra too from OHIO.
I have my own business since 2002 online....www.cavanaughbooks.com
Cavanaugh Books & Creations 440-975-0554
Very easy to create your own website....all you need is microsoft front page and you can be the webmaster like I am.
My company has been in business since I became the Author of AbracaDEBRA'S...Enchanted gifts & recipes from the heart which is a fun, easy Giftmaking/Cookbook.
Before that I became a Registered Dental Hygienist in 1984 also holds an Art degree.
I add items such as my jewelry creations, crafts, pet products, soaps on a rope, gift baskets, vintage barbies, etc. Each day something new is added to my site. I have friends that I link and my very talented business associate Robin emails me items of her unique and totally different items too! Hers are mainly natural gemstones and holistic qualities.
You can sign up for global payments who I use for MC/Discover and visa....easy and there is a small fee.
Another marketing idea I use is to make flyers and business cards, pass them out to everyone! We have bridal parties and just fun house parties.
Also you can just sell out of your car or have a lunch party at peoples/friends work!
On several occasinons I have had to pleasure to go to Michaels and have a show $3.00 for eachite sold was donated to charity of choice and got into newpapers free!
Magazines also will write you up!
I do not mass produce....most of my items are also one of a kind, but if someone wants more than one item we ask for 2 weeks noitice and payment is requested before delivery.
Good luck and please any one feel free to email me and take a look at my website!
Happy Beading.........from the Heart........Debra!
Debra A. Cavanaugh, R.D.H.www.cavanaughbooks.com
Thanks, everyone, for the tips! I'll have to check out etsy. I might test a few items out there while I look into having my own site.
Besides jewelry, my business sells handmade mosaic trivets that my sister makes. The first year we took them to a show at my office, they sold out in 30 minutes, but we've kind of hit the saturation point with craft shows in the area, so I've been looking for an outlet for them as well as my jewelry.
I'll check back here again, so please keep on giving advice!
I have thought about creating a website. How do you get your website out there? Do you just use the search engines? Where do you link?
I appreciate any advice.
God Bless,
Tell me how many beads there are

~Thomas Lovell Beddoes
I have been making jewelry for about 1 year and at first did a few craft shows and did okay. For our area, craft shows are mainly through the Thanksgiving-Christmas season. Then I got a small case at an antique mall. It is small but the rent is reasonable. The success there has been hit or miss. There are alot of shoppers at that location though.
The small town ( est population 1800 ) that I live in has an idependent business association. We have one flashing light so there are not any chain type businesses except a Dairy Queen. There rest are independent business that are individually owned. I knew this organization was there but did not think of myself in this way. I had asked them for information about contacting other crafters in my area to possibly organize a craft show myself. I found at that I could join, very small annual charge, and that they have several events that would not cost for a booth since I am a member. One is next weekend ( we have Covered Bridge Festival ) so I will be a beading fool this weekend. People from surrounding larger cities come out to the festival.
Another is a health fair that they host. They will have the obvious for the health fair but their explaination to me was that beading and making jewelry ( hobbies ) can be beneficial to peoples health as relaxing and de-stressing. ( Okay I know stressful at times too! ).
Sorry to ramble but this was something that I accidentally found and was not sure if others had thought of this avenue. You might check your area for a business group such as this that for a small fee you can advertise and get more visability.
Have a great day!
Susan, I had my website up and running for a year before the search engines really latched on to it... the key thing for me has been making lots of links. I've exchanged website links with many of the beaders and beadmakers I know, I chat a lot on various forums, I send pictures to beadmakers whose beads I've used so they can put the picture and a link on their blog or website 'customer gallery'. My web designer friend has put a lot of work into getting keywords all over my site in places where the search engines will find them (as you can tell, I'm not an expert at this stuff!) and of course I never miss an opportunity to publicize my website address, it's in my forum and email signatures and on any images and projects that get published... and I always carry business cards 'just in case' so I can network in real life too!
You need to be persistent and patient and just keep chipping away until you start coming up at the top of the search engine ratings instead of on page 27!
Thank you so much for your reply. You've given me several places to start.
God bless,
P.S. Lynn, I LOVE the Ugly Necklace contest!
I sell my jewelry on Etsy and at MacNider Museum. A local bead store asked me to sell there too.
Please visit http://monkeybuns.etsy.com for hand made jewelry.
Hi Debra!
My name is Deborah too! I just had to send you a note because we have so much in common! I too am a beader and have my own business, Dazzles designs. I have been designing and making jewelry for over 5 years now.Recently, I started getting in to metalsmithing and just love it! I too am a hygienist and graduated in "92". I work 2 days a week and sub in other offices when I am needed. I live in Northern Oakland County, MI, and have been married for almost 12 years to a wonderful man that is going to the bead and button show with me this weekend in Milwaukee. Cooking is a passion for me, and I have taken many classes to learn new recipes. I used to own a pastry business many years ago, but I burnt out on it after 10 years and working alone out of my home. I still make yummy pastries, cakes and desserts for family and friends. I have a vast collection of cook books that my nieces will treasure some day. I also love to paint, stamp, scrapbook and sew and enjoy decorating my home and helping family and friends with decorating their homes. I am constantly on my computer checking out all of the bead forums and sites and came across your note here on beading daily. Drop me a line if you get a chance! My e-mail address is email@example.com.

Maybe Etsy or Ebay but I have bad experiences with them as it is too hard for your creations to be found.
I'm now trying Shopify because you can get a real shop and be found on Google. Here's the wikipedia article:

Clever Dayton postgame headline chosen via social media
MAR 28, 2014 1:35p ET
A creative Twitter user was selected to have his/her headline for Dayton's win over Stanford featured on the Dayton Daily News' website homepage.
"Tree down, three to go," a play on the Stanford Cardinal's "Tree" mascot, was submitted to the paper by @4THEST8, who follows 60 people, has nine followers and has an egg as his/her avatar.

Users submitted their headlines following Dayton's Sweet 16 win using the #DDNheadline.
The winning headline is definitely a good choice but we would be remiss not to recognize some of the other catchy ideas that didn't make the cut. Note that the use of the No. 8, for the Flyers' Elite Eight berth, was a popular ploy.

From the Publisher
As a reference book, this book is a treasure. Written for an esthetician by an esthetician, and anyone who works in a salon, spa, or behind the cosmetic counter. This book not only explains in an easy-to-understand style what the ingredients in a skin care product are, but also tells you what they do, how safe they are, and what side effects they might have. The book also explains what the skin functions are, how products penetrate, and the different skin types and conditions. Whenever a student asks me at a lecture or seminar what books I recommend, the first book that comes to mind is Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary, by Natalia Michalun. This book is a must have for all students and estheticians.
