Select Local Merchants
Ashley Furniture Home Store RichmondRead MoreInside Ashley Furniture HomeStore's sprawling warehouses and showrooms, friendly staffers stock plush beds, sturdy end tables, and stylish home accessories. Expert designers craft these dwelling fillers, testing raw materials' durability and basic arithmetic skills before transforming them into classy furniture items that mesh with any decorating style. They build many tables and chairs to meet eco-friendly business standards, using recycled engineered wood to reduce landfill waste and slow down deforestation. Ashley also stocks nonwood items, including a selection of state-of-the-art body-cushioning mattresses from brands such as Sealy and Simmons. For an additional charge, Ashley Furniture HomeStore transports its furniture using its own fleet of semi trucks and fighter planes, which ensure that comfortable couches and slick dining-room tables are never damaged and always fresh smelling. Each location is locally owned and operated, meaning staffers are friendly residents who know which couches best complement regional design trends and indoor weather patterns.6312 W Broad St.Richmond, VA US
weebsworldRead MoreMiniature humans are stylishly outfitted with transportation, premium car seats, and accessories at weebsworld, a boutique store specializing in "hip gear for cool babies." Friendly staff members offer numerous services, performing complimentary baby-gear consultations that help parents pick out premium baby gear. Certified car-seat-installation technicians supply customers with weighted, life-size baby dolls to try out strollers and car seats, and a patented storewide stroller track lets them test baby chariots or train for upcoming carriage-pushing marathons. The staff will also assemble strollers purchased in-store free of charge in addition to providing complete product tutorial at pick-up, allowing parents and their pride and joy to wheel out of weebsworld in their stylish new ride.11537 West Broad StreetHenrico, VA US
Frame NationRead MoreA Guild Commended Framer, Frame Nation employs certified framers who match existing frames and create special projects from scratch. Behind the shop's brick storefront, staffers help customers to make selections from more than 2,000 frame samples, including acrylic, steel-welded, and wood options. Combined with glass, museum-quality practices, and a tiny flux capacitor, these protective casings preserve everything from diplomas to wedding photos. To find inspiration for their own creations, visitors need only view the artwork lining the walls. Frame Nation regularly displays the handiwork of local artists; one ever-present exhibit includes a collection of frames and three-dimensional collages crafted from recycled materials.11 S 15th StRichmond, VA US
Richmond Fencing ClubRead MoreRichmond Fencing Club has molded budding fencers since JFK was president and humankind had just turned its eyes to the moon. Today, three instructors—each with their own titles from the Virginia Division Championships—helm the educational efforts, overseeing a program that educates students as young as 6 in the foot- and bladework required to wield a fencing foil competitively. They teach in a no-nonsense facility, its cinderblock walls decorated only with pegs to hang fencing equipment, its smooth hardwood floors interrupted only by well-worn fencing lanes. The fencing-dedicated space keeps elaborately uniformed students cool with central air conditioning instead of replacing helmets with ice buckets like lesser establishments.3411 1/2 Carlton St.Richmond, VA US
Mattress WarehouseRead MoreShort of creating physical clouds to hold people aloft, Mattress Warehouse stocks almost every imaginable furnishing to help customers catch a few Z's. Rows of name-brand mattresses from Sealy, Simmons Beautyrest, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic entice customers to replace their worn pad for new bedding, such as a standard mattress, a fluffy pillowtop unit, or a memory foam piece that conforms to bodies. Beyond mattresses, the warehouse also carries an ample collection of box springs, full bed sets with rails and headboards, and even premium futon mattresses that revitalize foldable couches.11411 Midlothian TpkeNorth Chesterfield, VA US
Decor Furniture & Mattress ShowplaceRead MoreBed sets, sofas, and barstools populate the showroom at Decor Furniture & Mattress Showplace, set up in arrangements of household rooms. In addition to carrying luxury furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and personal aircraft carriers, Decor Furniture & Mattress Showplace specializes in building custom pieces to accommodate room measurements and the creative visions of clients. With more than 300 fabric, color, and leather options, customers can match existing room decor or draw attention away from evidence left from hosting a weekly food-fight club.7702 W Broad StRichmond, VA US

Tomorrow morning, as you pour milk into your kids' cereal bowls or buy a latte to get you going, take a moment to think about the dairy and other family farmers who will be braving gusty winds off Lake Michigan to converge on the steps of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. These farmers are demanding an end to the price fixing and speculation by traders that has bankrupted thousands of family farmers across the U.S., while spurring food crises worldwide.
Ready to geek out? We've updated our pesticide residue database, What's On My Food?, with the latest chemical and toxicology data – including a new dimension that tracks bee-toxic pesticides. And we made a widget!
What's a widget? Fair question. It's a snippet of computer code that allows you (or your favorite blogger) to host the What's On My Food? search function on your website or blog. You can download it here.
For the past 3 months, communities across Asia have been campaigning for Safe Rice for Life and Livelihood! — the rallying cry of this year's Collective Rice Action, organized by PAN Asia-Pacific's ongoing Save Our Rice Campaign.
This year's grassroots effort focused on raising awareness about the costs of chemically intensive rice farming across the region. Thousands of people concerned about protecting the health of farmers and their land flocked to a range of campaign events in 15 countries.
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here in Washington D.C. where I've spent the last few days participating in the Ecumenical Advocacy Days' national conference for Global Peace with Justice. Along with some 700 participants, I heard inspiring stories of social justice work being carried out by communities of faith in the U.S. and around the world. Also on display were two under-appreciated facts that the U.S. food movement is slowly coming to appreciate: 1) the deep ties of communities of faith are critical to social change-making; and 2) women farmers are and will remain the real roots of global agriculture.
Last week offered hope for science and strawberries, both. Three newsworthy events marked progress toward the slow crumbling of chemical industry influence on government. Each crack, however small, offers an opportunity toward food democracy, and the use of science in powerful service of the public good.

Went to your funeral today
They had your favorite flowers

She left before dessert

Found the sweater I had borrowed today
Did you know how much you'd hurt us?
I know you did
Your boyfriend talked to me today
He said he understood how I felt
I just walked away
Went to your house, found my pills today
Did I tell you your parents are moving?

Wanted to hurt someone today

But I couldn't
Started killing my pain today

Having decided on not telling anyone, but Yamamoto Sou-Taichou and the appropriate medical staff of Squad 4, Jushiro was left to explain to his more observant friends and colleges why he was so happy. His usual response was 'oh just a good nights sleep' or 'I feeling so much better today than normal' but not all of them believed him. Rukia had told Renji she suspected Kyoraku Taichou had proposed to him whereas Kiyone had mentioned to Sentarou that she believed Unohana had found a new drug to combat his TB. Whatever the reason, almost everyone (Hitsuguya Taichou on the other hand was being showered in more sweets than normal so even though he was happy for his fellow Taichou he sincerely hoped the regular 'sweetie showers' would end soon) agreed it must be a good thing because Jushiro was positively glowing with happiness and excitement.
Shunsui on the other side was finding it more difficult to keep the qu
Coming Out: Morgan-La-FeyComing Out: Morgan-La-Fey10 years ago in Biography & Memoir More Like This
Coming out was one of those things that sort of came naturally for me, mainly because I never really thought about it. Since I was a small child, my mom had always said things like "when you grow up and have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend", so it never struck me as a bad or unnatural thing to like anybody (or not like them) simply because of what gender they happened to be. So I guess the base was there all along, but truly, I didn't think about it much until right around the time I started grade 11.
I first realized that I liked girls as more than simply friends because of a dream that I had. Not a particularly naughty dream or anything like that. I simply kissed my friend Kelci. It all seemed perfectly natural, and when I woke up I remember thinking "oh, so I guess I'm Bi then." I didn't tell anybody, however. Not out of any fear, but just because it didn't seem like a big deal. Most of my friends, both male and female, where bisexual; it wasn't something that anybody really bothe

Picture the world
As a fairy tale
Forget all that is outside
Focus on a little village

What can you see?
Which story will you tell?
There are so many
And at the same time so few
Is there a wolf?
A princess?
A lesson to be learned?
Do you see what I wish to say?
Who is the cast
In this fairy tale play?
Who is the villain?
Someone with no redeeming qualities
Evil through and through
Who is the hero?
Someone who does things perfectly
Who is noble and wonderful
And can do no wrong
Indulge me
Pity the wolf
Pity the witch
Pity the king
For the fairy tales treat them ill
And also
Pity the princess
Pity the prince
Pity the fairies and the milk maids

I'm queer, and that's all you need to know.
That's usually what I tell people when they ask, "are you a lesbian?" or "are you gay?" In truth, I'm bisexual, but I don't like admitting that to people.
Sounds pretty dumb, right? But there are certain stereotypes that go with bisexuality, as with any other identity. The stereotype that I've encountered with bisexuality, though (especially concerning bisexual girls), is particularly damaging; it's that a bi person is really not much more than a straight person who fiddles around with his or her friends of the same sex when he or she can, with absolutely no emotional involvement. A lot of people I know automatically associate "bisexual" with "teen: smoker, promiscuous, eye-makeup, pouty expression, disrespectful. Just a phase."
That is what makes me reluctant to identify as being bi. I've heard bisexuals get scorned from both ends of the sexuality spectrum: many straight people think we're

an enigma constantly on my mind.
You drink poison pure and, breathing
suburban fumes into your lungs,
tell me about how you once loved a boy.
I tell you I love you, and you laugh--
a simple reponse because you have no other;
it's habitual and an easy escape.
Scream me something beautiful--
bang bang and kill me, baby,
if you won't cure me.
Or take me or leave me
as I am, crying in a corner.
"Love as fragile as a wineglass," and you
understand the allusion and smile.
I tell you I'm not cool enough for you,
and you tell me,
"if you stopped your bitching and moaning,
the world would be alright."
You barely smile, instead
lending out your happiness for a dime.
(I'll take it for the asking price.)
There's a ring of silver through your lip,
and it chatters in the wind
because you called to tell me you're freezing,
and would I carry on your legacy when you're dead and gone?
I see the lines on your wrists,
restrain myself from kissing them softly.
You're long past your
Came The AngelsCame The Angels11 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Came the angels of tainted perfection
To line our hearts with ammunition
Adorned with twisted dreams of peace
To quell the fire of rapt ambition
Came the angels of newborn damnation
Fresh from the womb of brutal demise
Appeased with misfortune and vengeful souls
To gnaw our skin and gauge our eyes
And still, and still, the fires raged,
As victims fell to pre-dug graves.
Exiled creatures fresh from hell
Wished our shattered bodies well
And still, the roses failed to bloom
Crown with thorns, my blood consumed
Ebony blood runs cold as ice
Let loose with heartfelt sacrifice

Knowing what harm it does.
So she wears a mask,
That could best the jester's
With a smile carefully put in place,
She walks about her day
Under that mask a small girl cries.
Lost and lonely and ready to die
Huddled in a corner in the only light.
She watches the shadows,
as they creep closer.
She holds her hope,
In a silver locket that once was gold.
Clings to it in vain faith,
That one day she will be able to run from the shadows.
Knowing that it will never come true .
She watches over me and you.
Looking through the eyes of that smiling girl you see.
She laughs but with tears in her eyes.
So she closes her eyes when ever she laughs,
So no one can see,
what lays hidden underneath .
look closely next time you watch her laugh.
And look for the tears.
It's like looking through crystal glass.
So painfully obviously,
That you chose to look away,
And look only upon the smiling girl you love.

Mommy please don't cry

Daddy left today,

He was acting like some lady
Was his wife, but it wasn't Mommy
Daddy, why'd you leave me?
Mommy, why do you cry?

I know why Mommy cries
I know why Daddy's gone
It's all my fault, they don't want me
Daddy why'd you leave me?
Mommy, please don't cry.
I tramp through trashy streets
To try to find my Daddy
I can't see him anywhere
I think he's gone forever
Mommy still cries,
I try to hug her,
But she pushes me away
I try to love her
Daddy why'd you leave me?
Mommy, please don't cry.
I sit like a good little girl
I do all I'm told to do
But it's still the same
I'm unwanted, the one who caused the shame
I saw Daddy yesterday
His hair was dank and matted, bottles lay at his feet
I told him he should come home
But, he didn't know who I was.

The hidden pathThe hidden path9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I took to the woods on an autumn day,
For a land Id heard of long ago;
A hidden place that time had lost,
And a name I did not know.
Id heard it told, in tales before,
That a dream may yet be free
If one could leave that which was known,
And the past he longed to see.
So on my own I traveled forth,
In search for this hidden land.
With a song that day to carry on,
But no verse for days ahead.
There gold shone through the leafy sky,
Where it danced upon the stream,
And every tree that I passed by
Its own true spirit did seem.
The stream beside me would endless on,
Like a dream that cannot say
Yet where it ends, for ever changing
Is the river in its way.
Far before me the road led on,
But another turned away.
I looked from one unto the next,
But which was mine, I could not say.
Burning gold was before me set,
And autumn boughs in flames of red;
But side the water the other ran,
To follow where the river led.
And one, I knew could lead to right,
While the other

Glendale - Every family seems to share something between generations. For some it's an heirloom, or a home, or a distinctive set of family features.
For the Erlichmans, five generations have shared the blades and the banter, the company and candor of Glendale barber George Jelich, who owns George Jelich's Barbers, 6801 N. Green Bay Road.
First there was David, now passed, then Gary, now 73, Brian, now 53, his now 26-year-old son Ben, and most recently Ben's son, Liam, who, at 7-months-old, has already been in to see Jelich.
"George is more like a friend of the family," says Brian. "He's not just our barber."
And vice versa.
"What's nice," says Jelich, "is many guys, like Brian, left Milwaukee. They took off and ended up somewhere else, but they come back."
Coming to know family after family, to Jelich, may be the best part of his 63-year barbering career in Glendale, during which his customers have come to call him a staple of the community.
"That's really what life is all about," Jelich says, "these guys come back and they look you up, and they bring their families in and tell their stories. They say, 'this is my barber,' and it gives you this nice kind of uplift. These guys remember you."
Banter part of the fun
Brian remembers his first cut from Jelich in 1963: a style called "The Princeton." Nice and short. Parted. Clean and sophisticated, he says.
More than that, he remembers going in with his father. He remembers reading the comic books on the shelf while observing the lively banter between Jelich and his patrons.
"They'd be sitting around, reading the paper and having discussions," Brian says, "and I always thought it was a neat environment as a kid. It was something the men did. Came in on Saturday, got their hair cut, and they talked."
After all these years, he still comes down to Jelich's shop for the experience.
"People don't get their hair cut just because the guy's good with scissors," Brian says. "They go because they enjoy the company."
Stories abound
And, of course, they enjoy Jelich's stories. Like the one about the man who sneezed out a pair of dentures into a pile of hair clippings on the floor. Or the one about Jelich's inaugural hairpiece sale to a man who, once he realized just how beat up his old one was, took the first thing offered to him, stuck it firmly on his head, and took off, never to be seen again.
Like the Erlichmans found, you build a relationship with Jelich. You come to know him, and he comes to know you, which was the case with Jelich's most famous regular, Bob Uecker, whose hair he has cut for decades.
"I go back for many, many years with this guy. He's been very grateful and good to us," says Jelich, adding with the grin and candor only a barber can have, "And I've been good to him! I made him good lookin'!"

SP includes SCs in its recommended list of backward castes

Turaiha and Gond are already in the list of SCs for Uttar Pradesh.
Of the "17 backward castes" which the Samajwadi Party (SP) wants the Centre to include in the list of Scheduled Castes, two castes Turaiha and Gond are already in the list of SCs for Uttar Pradesh. Objecting to the ruling party wrongly describing them as backwards, the leaders of these castes have decided to hold protests.
Vyasji Gond, UP president of Akhil Bharatiya Gond Mahasabha, said his organisation has given a call for a day-long protest on Saturday to get the name of their caste excluded from the list of 17 mentioned by SP leaders as backward castes. "Our caste has never been in the OBC list, but still the SP leaders are saying this. I have complained to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and SP president (Mulayam Singh Yadav) and they listened to my objection but nothing has changed. There are about 80 lakh people belonging to my community in the state and they are being falsely described as OBCs. We will hold the protest on Saturday across the state and if nothing changes then we will go to court," Gond told The Indian Express over phone.
He said: "It was during the government of late Indira Gandhi on July 27, 1976, that Gonds were declared a Scheduled Caste in the whole of UP. In 2003, the NDA government, led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, gave them Scheduled Tribe status in 13 districts of Eastern UP."
According to the list of Scheduled Tribes in UP, available on the website of the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Gond is a tribe in 13 districts, namely Mahrajganj, Siddharth Nagar, Basti, Gorakhpur, Deoria, Mau, Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Ballia, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Mirzapur and Sonbhadra.
The list of SCs in UP, available on the website of the Ministry of Social Justice, shows the Gonds as Scheduled Caste, except in the 13 districts where they have the ST status.

Organics – Where does It Fit In? Tom Lambie Totara Valley Road, Totara Valley, Timaru Introduction In the last five years, the organic movement in New Zealand has received a much higher profile. Producers, consumers and now a political party are increasing the public awareness of organics. In dairying, organic farming was considered a fringe production practice not so long ago, but now is a legitimate choice for farmers. Other sectors outside dairying, such as kiwifruit, apples and vegetables, have seen considerable investment in organics and the development of organic markets, principally overseas. However, overall, organic production is still very small representing less than one percent of total agricultural/horticultural exports, but it is growing at 20% to 30% per year. In the last 12 months, there has been some interest from the New Zealand Dairy Board and companies to establish the role of organics in the industry. This has culminated in the launch of "Anchor Organic Spreadable Butter" on the British market using Austrian organic milk to test the market's desire to pay a premium at the top end of the market. In order to address the question: Organics - Where does it fit in? I will look at the forces that are shaping the debate. Origins of organics Organics has its origins in two production systems which were promoted in Europe as alternatives to conventional agriculture. Biodynamic farming was founded by the philosopher Rudolf Steiner in lectures given at a German agricultural course in 1924. Steiner presented an alternative vision of agriculture arising from his spiritual science of anthroposophy. His basic idea is to see the whole farm environment as an interconnected organism - soil, water, plants, animals, humans, air and wider influences like the sun, moon and planets. The ideal farm in a biodynamic sense, is one that combines various aspects of agriculture and is aiming towards self-sustainability - a combination of vegetable, fruit, grain production and animal husbandry. Each production is part of an interconnected organism and supports the other aspects. Steiner advised working with natural forces rather than opposing them and suggested special herbal and spray preparations to use for this purpose. These preparations aim to enhance 1 the decomposition process in manures and compost, which, in turn, when applied to soil, will improve plant, animal and human life. The main proponent of the other organic farming system was Great Britain's Sir Albert Howard in the 1940s. The main components of this farming system are the avoidance of artificial fertilisers and pesticides and the use of crop rotations and other forms of husbandry to maintain fertility and control weeds, pests and diseases. Organic farming methods are designed to achieve a sustainable system with limited use of external resources. On mixed arable and livestock farms, the utilisation of grass/legume breaks is an integral part of most systems. Pure legume stands may be used either for forage or cut and mulched to build fertility. During the period from 1960 through to the 1980s, the organic movement was mainly carried on by townspeople without any great experience of farming. They were protesting against the increasingly intensive methods of food production, especially the use of pesticides and fertilisers. At the same time, the protagonists for the organic movement revolted against some more general trends in society - increasing materialism, centralisation and large-scale production. Many of the original organic farmers have now left the industry but those who remain have gained knowledge that allows them to control weeds, pests and diseases without using artificial sprays. They have also been able to achieve fair crop yields (without using artificial fertiliser) and farm animals on organically grown food. By the mid-1980s organic farming systems still represented less than 0.1% of the total land under cultivation. Consumer demand In the last four years, consumer demand for organics in Europe has been fuelled by the BSE crisis; other food scares, environmental concerns, and latterly, negative perceptions of genetically modified food. In the US, the approval of BST lead to consumer rejection of these products which could only be reflected in purchase of organic milk as the rest of the industry's milk is mixed regardless of its use in the dairy herd or not. Why do consumers buy organic milk and milk products? In the two main markets, the United States and Europe, the reasons are similar. From the organic consumer's point of view, the following reasons are given: Health - personal wellness, the products are healthier. Actively helping to protect nature and the environment. Rejection of intensive livestock farming. Purchased out of fear of possible allergies or residues in conventional foods. 2 Security and knowledge of origin of products. Organic food tastes better than conventional food. In recent years the typical purchaser of organic products has changed. In the early 1990s, people buying organic products were those seeking to express an alternative way of life and eco-mindedness. Today, organically produced foods have acquired an expensive, elitist aura, with the result that such products are primarily bought by health and wellness-orientated consumers with high purchasing power. These consumers include: High single and double-income households Well-off young families Tertiary educated people Professional/managerial people People under the age of 35 However, it must be noted that within the general population of consumers, there is a greater awareness of organics, and an increased purchasing of organic produce. In a US study (conducted by Hartman and New Hope), it was estimated that 46% of consumers had some interest in buying organic products for the following reasons: Healthfulness - 80% Availability - supermarkets - 69% Environmental friendliness - 67% Price - reduced premiums due to better production methods and economies of scale - 64% Convenience of preparation - 53% Appearance of product and packaging - 43% What are the most important general criteria for consumers when buying food? A 1998 German study revealed some interesting points about general consumer patterns when buying food. The following are ranked in their order of importance: Freshness Absence of residues Ecological packaging Price Livestock are kept in natural conditions Shopping is convenient and speedy Only at this point were consumers interested in organics, and it rated equally with The origin of the product and which region it was produced in. 3 Organic consumers in Denmark Danish consumers have a very high degree of awareness about organic products. The population buying organic produce and a profile of the most frequent purchasers shows: 75% have bought organic food during the last six months 1-2% always buy organic 24% spend 2-10% of household budget on organic food 41% spend less than 2.5% of household budget on organic food 25% never buy organic food 10% use more than 10% of their household budget on organic food. These consumers, live in big cities, are families with children, have higher education and are well informed about organics. Price/market share Currently, the market share for organically grown food is about 2% of the total food and beverage market, and premiums for dairy products are between 10-20%. US retailer Stoneyfield Farm gives a practical example. When organic premiums were below 10%, they had little impact on sales volumes; then, when 20-30% premiums were required, sales decreased significantly. This was despite US consumer surveys suggesting that 32% of consumers would still purchase organic products at premium levels of 20%. A new trend is emerging in British supermarkets stocking organic produce. The Iceland Group has stated that they will sell organic produce at the same price as their own brand. As more organic supply enters the market place and sales shift from speciality stores to supermarkets, there will be downward pressure exerted on premiums over time. Overview of the market This overview is restricted to the USA and European markets. The US Organic industry has been doubling in size every 3.5 years since 1990. In 1998 i t was $5.5 b. This growth rate is five times larger than that of the overall food industry and represents 1 to 1.5% of the total US food and beverage market. The US organic dairy market is currently estimated to be approximately 0.6% of the $45 b retail dairy market and is expected to grow to 2% of the US dairy market over the next five to ten years, approximately $900 m in retail sales. The US Organic Trade Association in their 1998 market study predicted that the organic dairy market would grow by over 50% between 1997 and 2002. Europe is in a similar position. It is estimated that European sales of organic products reached US$2.4 b in 1998, just less than 2% of the total food market. The European organic 4 market has experienced a 30-40% per annum growth. However, that high growth has come off a very low base. Sales of organic milk and milk products had risen from US $174 m in 1992 to US $1.3 b in 1998 and is expected to grow to US $3 b by 2002. Germany makes up 39% of the organic milk market but organic milk accounts for less than 1% of the total milk produced in Germany. Case study – Danish organic dairy industry Denmark's dairy industry is one of the European success stories of farming conversion from conventional to organic methods. This year, 450 m kg, or 10% of their production will be organic. European regulations dictate on-farm conditions in relation to milk quotas, environmental and animal welfare issues. These regulations have placed considerable constraints on milk production, forcing farmers to diversify their farming activities. Therefore, despite a lower overall total farm productivity in moving to organics, the conversion has had little real impact on total milk production. Danish and European regulations are "organic production friendly." Housing conditions for livestock and a desire to see livestock on pasture for a minimum of 150 days per year are also key features of the regulations. They restrict use of veterinary medicines, give only a 15% allowance for purchased feed and the ability to treat for parasites makes the conversion a simpler process. In the conversion process Danish farmers are well supported, with on-farm advice from the conventional farmer-owned advisory team. Farmers also benefit from joint industry and government funding for research to improve on-farm organic productivity. The Danish government has taken a strong interest in the organic movement. This has seen the establishment of a national organic symbol and national certification regulations. The appointment of an organic foods council in 1987 ensured a co-ordinated and common sense approach has been taken. That council formulated two action-plans to promote the organic industry. The first is production orientated, while the second is more consumer product and market driven. An essential factor in the political process is the subsidy paid to farmers for conversion to organic production. This subsidy is worth on average NZ$300 per hectare per year, and is a catalyst for conversion. Very significantly, a three-year supply contract, with a commercial premium equal to a minimum of 20% of the basic price, is available to farmers. Together the premium and the subsidy, gave organic farms a financial advantage over conventional farms of NZ $42 300 net income per year in 1997. However, without that extra financial help in 1997 for organic development, they would have been NZ $28 200 worse off than other dairy farmers. 5 Danish consumers are very well informed about organics. Organic milk has taken a 20% share of the liquid milk market, at a 15-20% price premium. Other products have been slower to develop, with market share for cultured products at 8%, and butter and cheese at 2% respectively. Since 1998, the rapid increase in Denmark's organic milk supply has actually outstripped demand - at a market premium of 15-20%. Approximately half of the organic milk production is being used in organic consumer products. Any greater increase in the liquid milk market would see the 15-20% price premium eliminated. Figure 2: Liquid organic milk sales and milk deliveries 1987-2000. Denmark's major dairy co-operative, MD Foods, is taking a long-term strategic view to produce new products. 66% of all Danish milk is exported. MD Foods needs to develop export strategies for organic milk to maintain the price premium both in the market and to farmers. Phase one of encouraging farmers to convert to organics has been very successful. Phase two, the managing and reaping the rewards of that conversion in the market place will determine organic production's ultimate success as a long-term, profitable and sustainable solution for Danish dairy farmers. New Zealand verses European organics New Zealand has a very different farming environment compared to the Northern Hemisphere. Two major differences exist: New Zealand's mild temperate climate allows grass growth year-round, and 90% of its dairy production is exported. 6 Organics - where does it fit in? New Zealand is different, and therefore needs the development of an organic production system to reflect these differences. It is a production system that needs to be fully understood. Many of the alternative means of dealing with cropping and animal health problems could be mainstreamed into conventional agriculture. Regardless of production system, New Zealand's systems must meet the modern standards demanded by customers: Healthiness Lack of residues Environmentally friendly Competitively priced Wide variety of products. The market potential for organic dairying is constrained, as the main organic markets are the most protectionist. Free trade would be a boost to organic production. Table 1: Contrasting the New Zealand and European organic systems. Issues Europe New Zealand Fertiliser Manure from housed stock RPR, E sulphur feldspar Vet medicine Can not be used as a Quarantined prevention Vet medicine Double the withholding Out of system for 1 year period Bought in feed 25% non conversion Zero except – extreme climatic Standards 15% full certification - no organic alternative Quotas Restricted production Market demand Government support Subsidies Market demand Environmental regulation Environmental rules RMA - effects based Markets Unrestricted European Union Highly restricted 7 Workshop summary Global move Health conscious, people are become more aware of health and environmental issues and concerns. Consumers are starting to think, if it is healthy for me, it must be healthy for the environment. There are 4 keys to business success. The first key being customer focused and working to make your customer successful. Are we focusing on the customer? World market for organic produce Largest market opportunities are Europe, USA and Japan. These countries are also the strongest competitors and the most restricted market. US billion Industry. $5.5 US billion in the USA market. $2.5 US billion in Europe. This is only 1-1.5 % of the world market of dairy products. 1.5-2% of land in Europe is farmed organically. Growth is large from a small base. The profile of the consumer is: High income, highly educated, professional, young family. Issues raised Where are organic farming systems going as an industry option? Marketing, farming systems, opportunities? Is it a profitable option? Currently market signals are not reflecting true returns. Risk factors are influencing farmer decisions. Until market returns are delivered, farmers said they would not consider changing. It has to show a profit. More information on these systems needs to be investigated. Tom Lambie chose an organic farming system for personal reasons. Not based on profit. Alternative farming options. How does it fit into the current farming system? Don't need to expect reduced milksolid production, or low cost. Managing the system. (Remember high nitrogen leaching losses in cultivating pastures, using crops, mustard, to reduce this loss.) Are there any parallels with organic farming and stock health? Consider animal health issues. Copper has some anthelmentic properties. Stock with worm burdens are low in copper. Is this caused by the worm burden or by a low copper status? Use of zinc to aid calving. Is the system sustainable? Research Biotechnology - gene mapping, looking for resistant genes. Look more holistically and consider inputs through the food chain. Will start to see more information being released into the market, both systems and financial returns. Market access. Ideally a free market would be great, then you could see a large increase in organic farming systems. 8 9

Las Vegas
Restaurants in Las Vegas
Like everything else in Las Vegas, restaurants here embrace extremes - you'll find everything from retro coffee shops to celebrity-chef eateries to those only-in-Vegas buffets. If you're less adventurous, or just on a budget, you can always find reliable chains and food courts. Here are some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas:
L'Atelier du Joel Robuchon: For a classic celebrity chef outlet, check out this Las Vegas restaurant in the MGM Grand, and which sits next to Robuchon's original namesake restaurant. L'Atelier lets you take the slightly more budget track, though, by way of small plates of foie gras-stuffed quail or langoustine fritters.
The Wicked Spoon: For a modern take on the classic buffet, visit this acclaimed buffet at The Cosmopolitan, where you can enjoy good tomato-and-asparagus risotto, Korean barbecue or the popular (and spicy) Angry Mac 'n' Cheese.
The Peppermill: If this 24-hour coffee shop and lounge near the Wynn exudes a serious Rat Park vibe, it came by it honestly - Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis actually ate here. This Las vegas eatery is great for late-night steak and eggs.
Located inside Caesars Palace, Payard showcases the talents of its namesake pastry chef, François Payard. The eatery is composed of three parts: the chocolate shop, the pastry shop, and the restaurant.
Enjoy a latte and an egg frittata overlooking Florentine Gardens.
The P.U.B. menu is a cheesebomb of drunkfood for guys who tuck in their polos and dudes who don't tuck in their dress shirts: BLT sliders; swordfish enchiladas.
Though it serves 4,000 patrons a day, the Bellagio buffet manages to balance quantity and quality. The dining room's high traffic requires constant turnover at the 12 food stations, which range from seafood to pasta.
Stone walls, waterfalls, and chrome accents adorn the dining room at this Bellagio restaurant, which offers an eclectic mix of New American, Asian, and Italian cuisine.
Red meat and wine: it's a popular combination that this Mario Batali/Joe Bastianich steakhouse delivers. Set in the Palazzo, the Italian-inflected restaurant boasts the expected high-end ambience with soaring ceilings, lustrous Italian marble surfaces, and antique furniture.
Dishing up what many consider the best Italian fare in Las Vegas, Rao's at Caesars Palace is a more accessible offshoot of the New York original, which has occupied the same spot on 114 Street since 1896 and is known for being a tough place to get reservations.
