KINGSTON, R.I.-- June 28, 2000 -- It contains a full color photo of a
quilt created by Samuel Slater's second wife. Another image shows a quilt
made by the Women's Christian Temperance Union on Block Island, which contains
the signatures of some the island's founding family members.
The 328-page book, Down by the Old Mill Stream: Quilts in Rhode Island,
is the culmination of the eight-year Rhode Island Quilt Documentation Project,
organized by University of Rhode Island Professor Linda Welters of Peace
Dale, chair of the Department of Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and
Design, and her colleague, Margaret Ordonez, of Cumberland, URI associate
professor of textiles.
Through detailed historical essays, 30 vignettes, 63 color plates and
94 black and white photos, Down by the Old Mill Stream makes Rhode
Island history come alive through its families who came to power the mills.
"We didn't find any quilts with quahogs on them, but we did find
a quilt during the documentation that survived the Hurricane of '38,"
said University of Rhode Island Professor, Linda Welters, co-editor of
the just published book, Down by the Old Mill Stream: Quilts in Rhode
The book, unveiled tonight at the URI Textiles Gallery, is the result
of research done on nearly 900 quilts that were analyzed by URI textiles
professors, students and volunteers since 1992 at communities throughout
Rhode Island, from Woonsocket to Westerly and Coventry
to Newport.
"Some people would come to us with their quilts in bags, and then
when they learned about their significance, they would leave with them neatly
folded, carrying them carefully," Ordonez said.
Welters and Ordonez edited the volume and also wrote numerous pieces.
Other writers include Nancy Potter, URI English professor emerita; Cathy
Cerny, former URI textiles professor emerita; Gail Mohanty, of Cumberland,
director of the Slater Mill Historic Site in Pawtucket; Alda Kaye,
former curator of the URI Historic Textile and Custome Collection, and Martin
Bide, professor of textiles.
Tonight, URI honors the volunteers and quilt owners who made the documentation
project and subsequent book possible. It also pays tribute to the Rhode
Island Committee for the Humanities, which funded all phases of the project,
the URI Foundation and Cranston Print Works.
Through their research, Welters and Ordonez found that the quilts express
Rhode Island's unique social history. The book published by The Kent State
University Press connects history, culture, and technology to quilts in
Rhode Island and details developments in the textile industry that affected
materials available to quilt makers.
The essays in Part I examine technological developments and textile production
spinning, weaving, dyeing and printing as illustrated in quilt
fabrics. Additional pieces link quilts to the state's historic, cultural
and social heritage. "These essays reflect Rhode Island's relationship
to the textile industry, and how it is depicted in the quilts," Welters
Shorter stories in Part 2 look at 30 quilts dating from the mid-18th
century through 1935.
"Even if someone's not a quilt lover, they will enjoy the history
of the textile industry in Rhode Island," Ordonez said. "Through
the book, you'll get to know the families and people of Rhode Island. It's
also a wonderful reference for those who want to learn about quilts from
the 19th century," Ordonez added.
Other states had completed such projects, but Rhode Island lagged behind,
Welters said.
The project was a collaborative effort from the beginning, involving
faculty, staff, and students at URI, consultants, newspaper reporters, volunteers
from local quilters' organizations, staff of public libraries, historical
houses, museums and the general public.
There were three phases to the project: 1. registering, examining and
photographing close to 900 quilts; 2. exhibitions at museums and historical
societies, including those in Canada; 3. presentation and publication of
the project's findings through lectures, articles and the book.
The book can be purchased at Amazon.com or by calling Bookmasters at
1-800-247-6553. Locally, people can purchase the book by calling Valerie
Morgan at URI's Department of Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design,
401-874-4574. All proceeds will go to the URI Foundation.

Barnstaple shopper in bid to bring new store to the town
Posted: October 02, 2012|
A Barnstaple shopper has set up a Facebook campaign to bring her favourite shop to North Devon.
Louisa York said she was fed up having to drive 40 miles to her nearest T.K.Maxx store which is in Exeter. She has now set up a Facebook page and is hoping to collect enough 'likes' to persuade the company to open a store in Barnstaple.
Louisa said, "I love buying my kids beautiful and unusual clothing, along with books and toys at bargain prices. There are so many departments offering quality goods for reasonable prices and often you can find current season items for less than in other stores, most of which aren't available in North Devon either."
Louisa suggested that the store could even be housed in the former Focus DIY on corner of Hollowtree Road and Coney Avenue in Newport, which is currently unoccupied.
She added, "This facility is large and already has a good sized car park. We need to bring more retail choice and job opportunities to Barnstaple. I'd happily work there."
When told about the campaign, a spokeswoman for T.K.Maxx said, "We are always very interested in what our customers have to say and we listen to them and engage with them on our own Facebook page.
"We have recently opened two more stores and we know what impact the arrival of one of our stores can have on the local economy. We are constantly reviewing opportunities and use a range of criteria when deciding where to open a new store. All I can say is never say never."
What do you think? Would you like to see a T.K.Maxx store in Barnstaple?

The upcoming BMW 5-series finally looses her camoflage armour in exchange for the psychadelic graphics. BMW has officially begun the striptease for the new 5-series and I cant wait to see more….
Ever since the new BMW 5-Series (F10) has had its front bumper publically outed and then what seemed to be a page from the advertising brochure, the photoshoppers have been going all out to create mimicks of what the car may look like. Jon Sibal gives us a high quality interpretation

Talk about a major screwup. Here we have a leaked photo of the F10 5 Series front end. This is no photoshop job, this is the real deal and it seems to have been leaked WAY in advance of the release of this car and I'd have to assume this is unintended. I do have to say that this looks to be the best styled 5-series ever and I'm in serious anticipation of this car!!

These are the very first pictures of the new BMW 5-series Touring. Snapped testing in Germany, the new 5-series estate will boast BMW's latest Efficient Dynamics technology, Concept CS-inspired looks, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a further development of the current car's aluminium and steel platform.
But the new 5-series Touring will still have a sloping rear end so if you're after a particularly roomy 5-series we'd suggest its sister, Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) isntead, which BMW insiders claim offers as much interior space as a Rolls-Royce Phantom.… CONTINUED
I would classify this as MAJOR news. It seems somehow a photo of the new 5 Series (F10) bumper has been leaked onto the internet so we now have a complete idea of half of the front end of this car. Let the photoshopping begin!

With the BMW 5-Series Security, BMW offers an armoured sedan in the premium segment of the upper medium category. Thanks to their unique security concept, the BMW 550i Security and the BMW 530i Security guarantee effective protection from criminal attacks. The two models combine state-of-the-art security technology with the sporty flair, ride comfort and exclusive fittings characteristic of the BMW 5-Series.
The BMW 5-Series provides an ideal basis for a particularly effective security vehicle at the VR4 ballistic protection level. The sedan offers an impressively striking and prestigious design, supreme handling, … CONTINUED
BMW is currently developing a F5 / V5 based on the upcoming F10 5-series. Its best described as an MPV, but unlike the current Touring models the new cars will feature a taller ride-height and high roof to maximize interior space.
In these photos we can now see the exposed grill, including slats. Like the new F01 7-series, the F01 5-series clearly looks to have significantly larger kidney grills up front.

Well folks, the next big step in the upcoming 5-series technical development has finally arrived. The car has now been seen lapping the famed Nurburgring.
The new 5 is still seen wearing its heavy armour suit, but the car is said to borrow heavily from the BMW Concept CS styling to create a more reserved but aggressive look at compared to the current car.

Unsurprisingly, the car will have big kidney grills, ala Concept … CONTINUED
The current rumor is that BMW is seriously considering making a hatchback version of the upcoming 5-Series. Why?

Here are the first photos of the heavily covered interior of the F10 5-series. Getting a glimpse of an upcoming models interior always provides good insight into the future design language of other upcoming BMW models.
Notice the new side-by-side placement of the gear selector and i-drive knob in the middle console. It appears to resemble the new X5s console. We also get a peak at the new steering wheel.

The 5 millionth 5-series ever (a Carbon Black Metallic 530d pictured below) to be produced rolled off the assembly line at the Dingolfing plant yesterday. And boy was she a beauty.
A little historical background on BMWs 5-series cars:
- the first generation 5-series (E12) started its life in 1972, based on the 1970 BMW Garmisch 2002ti concept. It debuted at the Geneva Motor Show that year.
- the E12s range of engines consisted of four and six cylinder engines, with a six cylinder 218 horsepower engine at the top range
- the E60s … CONTINUED
Spied in its usual black armor is the new 5-series. Here you can atleast tell the general dimensions, shape and roofline of the car. According to CARmagazine insiders this car will NOT be as radical as the current 5-series was and will be a more flowing car. Im guessing the bodyline will be more inline with the BMWCS concept and be very pleasing to the eye. The overall proportions of the car do reveal very short overhangs for a very sporty look that is missing from the current competition from … CONTINUED

"Five attackers is the right number, but it all depends on Galliani's trip.
"From that we will look at what the best solutions are to strengthen the team. But talking about this now makes no sense.

Vidro cut; Morrow sent to become a starter
Maybe the least surprised player in the Seattle clubhouse when the news came out that Jose Vidro was being released was Jose Vidro. Vidro, a highly paid veteran with rotten numbers, knew the scored. Wladimir Balentien, who is part of the Mariners' future, has been riding a hot streak and got called up for the second time this season. This time it cost Vidro his job. "I'm not surprised at all," said Vidro, reached at his Seattle-area home. "But it's disappointing, because I take a lot of pride in what I do." Earlier in the day the Mariners sent Brandon Morrow to the minor leagues with the idea of converting the reliever into a starter. In the meantime, Jared Wells was called up from Triple-A Toronto. Morrow will make his first start for Triple-A Tacoma Wednesday. Vidro was designated for assignment, meaning the mariners have 10 days to trade him or release him. A trade is unlikely in the extremely, but it's probable that he will get a couple of job offers from contending or near-co [Read More]

When you last went running, did you wear shoes? Sounds like a silly question.
There was a time when barefoot walking was considered to be immodest and was frowned upon by people. In fact, watching someone walking without his/her shoes, or at least slippers, on was bound to create a negative impression about him/her in other people's mind.
Running/Walking barefoot can be a comfortable and refreshing experience that most people enjoy.
By running bare foot you will naturally learn to expand your foot and spread your toes which will make the foot become a strong base that sustains all of your movements.
You have small muscles in your hips, legs, feet and ankles that are not activated with thick running shoes on. When you are bare foot, these muscles are engaged and you will find you have better coordination and improved balance.
Barefoot walking helps to develop better perception of the contact with the ground, which allows us to interact with support more efficiently, place the body weight on the foot more precisely; have better timing of the contact with the ground.
It develops muscle strength, particularly in those groups of muscles of the feet, and related muscles of the legs and hips, which are out of use when we are in shoes.
It also helps to release psychological stress through the reduction of electricity charges in the body, which can now serve as a kind of lightning rod. Improve the body temperature regulation due to the adaptation to the lower outside temperature.
Walking barefoot helps straighten out the toes and prevents its deformity. It also improves flexor strength. Walking barefoot provide relaxation to the tired feet. It has also proven to be an effective remedy to get rid of the problem of flat feet.

Can you come up with a road name for Gloucester's Railway Triangle development?
Posted: February 28, 2013|
WORK on the Railway Triangle in Gloucester will be completed by the end of the year but one thing is yet to be confirmed – the name of its main road.
Developers LXB Properties and Gloucester City Council are asking for ideas.
Paul James, leader of the city council, said: "We want the great people of Gloucester to come up with the name.
"Something that would reflect the railway history would be ideal.
"We had a board meeting on Friday and the developers wanted an inspiring name.
"Gloucester has waited a long time for this site to be complete."
The proposed name Turntable Way has been put forward to the council, along with Meridian Way and Old Railway Sidings, but nothing has been finalised yet.
These names have a link with the history of the site.
The Railway Triangle will be the site for a new Morrisons supermarket, along with a petrol station, which is due to open in July this year.
Planning permission for the store was granted in December 2011.
Before this, the site had been derelict for 20 years.
The £34million development will also see space for a for high-tech manufacturing and engineering training, car showrooms, a trade park, a drive-through restaurant and coffee shops.
Hugh Worsnip, of Gloucester's Civic Trust, said: "In the 1840s there was a train link going to South Wales and one going to Bristol.
"The Great Western and the East Midlands Trains lines were always competing with each other.
"The Civic Trust would prefer a name that would reflect the history of the site, maybe after a farm."
Metz Way, which forms part of a wider regeneration programme known as the Railway Triangle Corridor, is being promoted by Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company.
Anyone with suggestions for the road name should contact Councillor Paul James within the next two weeks, by emailing him at paul.james@ gloucester.gov.uk.

Below is the poem entitled A Loving Moonlit Night which was written by poet
Sion. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jonathan Sion
A woman sees the midnight moon;
And moves so sultry, slow
Toward the midnight glow,
Her full breasts white as snow
Her shadows play,
Upon the ground
Her heart makes not a sound,
Then, she hums a tune of love
To the white, blue moon above
Suddenly she sees a vision!
A man - her shining fate
Standing firm and strong –
A kind and loving soul mate
He glides nearer her, o'er the lake
Nearer her, for love's sake
The woman drops her pretty dress
And the muses' midnight moon
Watches lover's love and swoon
Watches lover's love
Their night away, till visions
Become the light of day.

John Oliver, filling in for Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show," nailed us last week:
"After a North Carolina legislative session like this, I think the big take-away here might be: Your move, South Carolina. You thought you had craziest Carolina all sewn up with your runaway governors ... but you may be about to lose the war of northern regression."
Stephen Colbert took his shots earlier, riffing on more permissive firearms laws:
"That's right, now you can bring guns to playgrounds. And folks, we need them because the monkey bars are well-known al-Qaida training grounds. Instead of Duck, Duck, Goose, you can just play Duck, Duck, DUCK!"
Yeah, just dumb gags by liberal comics. Big deal.
Except that young people watch these shows, and some get their news from them.
And what makes the jabs sting is that, whatever their exaggerations, they contain elements of truth. Worse, they form an impression.
I worry about young people and what they might think about North Carolina.
Every community wants young people -- especially young people who are smart, engaged and equipped with job skills that employers need.
So what's our state doing lately to keep or attract these kinds of people?
We're passing more socially conservative laws -- new abortion restrictions, a constitutional amendment barring gay marriage, allowing guns, yes, at playgrounds and on college campuses, among other places.
Look, I'm socially conservative on some issues, but I'm old. Young people are not. They're turned off by these attitudes.
When the public radio program "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" broadcast from Asheville recently, host Peter Sagal joked that the city has been called "a cesspool of sin" by a state legislator. Want to guess the political party of that legislator? Do you really have to guess?
Asheville received more press this year when a different Republican legislator filed the "nipple bill" to cover up the annual Go Topless event (which is coming up again Aug. 25; the bill failed).
Yes, the Bohemian lifestyles celebrated in Asheville can be viewed by some as sinful, but many young people see Asheville as the state's coolest city (and, at 7.1 percent, its unemployment rate is the state's lowest). And it's surely not a cesspool of anything. As for sinful, young people might put easing regulations on landfills and other environmental rollbacks in that category.
Then there's the voting bill. An end to preregistration for 16- and 17-year-olds. College identification cards not accepted for voting. No more same-day registration. Are those changes sending the message that North Carolina encourages or discourages political participation by its young people?
Throw in hefty -- up to 12 percent -- tuition hikes for out-of-state students in the UNC system and maybe more of those bright young people will look to other states that don't suddenly seem so uninviting.
I understand the political calculation here. Not so many young people vote for Republicans, so better that fewer of them vote. Better to have fewer of them, period. Let them go vote for Democrats somewhere else.
The trouble is, there's a time limit on that strategy. In the meantime, do we really want to live in a state that's unappealing to our kids or their friends from out of state? Do employers want to do business in a state like that?
Republicans shouldn't give up all their values and pander to liberal young people. But a little moderation, especially on social issues, wouldn't hurt. There are 20- and 30-somethings who are conservative on financial matters but still turned off if they think we're moving backward culturally. They're uncomfortable living in a state where the political establishment is almost at war with the NAACP, or teachers, or cities they like, such as Asheville and Charlotte. They may not think of a state that's 48th in the nation in K-12 school spending per student as the place they want to raise a family.
And no one likes his or her home state skewered on Comedy Central.
North Carolina should be a state young people can love, not laugh at.

Arena granted permit request
Operation of a wholesale cattle merchant business at the Granville County Livestock Arena received strong support and was granted a special use permit at Monday's Granville County commissioners' meeting.
Bobby Morgan made the application for the facility at 4200 Cannady Mill Road. Commissioners gave approval following a public hearing. E.B. Harris is the owner of the arena.
Approval of the request had been recommended by the planning board, which had held its own public hearing on the issue last month. At that meeting, more than a dozen residents signed up to express their support for the special use permit, emphasizing the economic benefit the change would mean for Granville County. One resident spoke in opposition.
Previously, the livestock arena had been restricted to four events per year, meaning that cattlemen had to ship their stock to distant markets at great expense to themselves.
After holding public hearings on matters related to the floodplain, the commissioners approved an amendment to the land development ordinance related to flood insurance rate maps and an amendment to the floodplain zoning overlay map.
In another public hearing, which had been continued from February, real estate agent William Adcock said the owners of property at 6511 U.S. 15 North had reconsidered their request to have the property rezoned and asked the commissioners to deny their original request for rezoning, which the commissioners did.
In other business, the board awarded a contract to the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments to administer the 2012 Community Development Block Grant Scattered Site Housing grant.
The commissioners approved a 30-year lease with the Town of Stovall that provides for the continued operation of the Senior Center at its present location in a town-owned facility at a cost of $1 per year.
The board approved an agreement with CityScape Consulting Services to provide expertise in placement, construction and modification of personal wireless facilities, with the stipulation that the company report back in six months on their efforts to expand cell phone service in the northern part of Granville County.
The commissioners voted to award a contract to H.M. Kern Corporation in an amount not to exceed $1,567,000 for interior renovation of the 120 Orange Street building to prepare the facility for the Department of Social Services. The bid by Kern was the lowest of 12 bids received and was recommended by Baxter Armistead Architecture.
The board approved the transfer of fuel trailers purchased by Granville County under a Homeland Security grant to Orange and Nash counties, as per agreement. Three trailers were purchased under the grant. Granville County will retain one.
The board also approved:
• Several items related to fees and operating hours for the county's landfills.
• A request by the Department of Social Services to purchase 12 computers.
• Replacing the carpet in the county manager's office.
• An extension of the contract with Tax Reduction Specialists to audit sales and use tax returns.
• A request to transfer utility easements for the Tar River Elementary School to the South Granville Water and Sewer Authority.
• A request for an easement related to South Granville Medical Center property.
Lisa Harrison, director of the Granville-Vance District Health Department, presented the 2012 State of the County Health Report.
The commissioners made the following appointments and reappointments:
• Veterans Affairs Committee: Lou Clemmer.
• ABC Board: Allen Lane.
• South Granville Memorial Gardens Board of Trustees: Eva W. Fisher, Allen Riley and Vickie Cates (alternate).
• Citizens Advisory Committee for Environmental Affairs: Frank McKay.
• Granville County Planning Board: Catherine Oakley.
The board was unable to act to fill an empty position on the board of trustees of the Granville County Library System.
The position is designated for a representative from District 3. Commissioner Dave Currin said he had been unable to find anyone who was willing to serve and made a request for someone to volunteer for the position.
Commissioner Ed Mims reported that he had met with Creedmoor city officials to discuss the possibility of locating satellite offices there for Franklin-Vance-Warren Opportunity and the Granville-Vance District Health Department.
After a closed session, the commissioners approved a consent order for a tax settlement with Jomar Ventures, LLC.

Here is an interview with Rick Archer of Buddha at the Gas Pump which speaks of some of the sequence of happenings:
Video: "Canela Michelle - Buddha at the Gas Pump"
(Interview with Rick Archer - December 2011)
Note: All of these happenings (shared below) happened in grace, there was no idea before hand that it would happen nor what the effect might be. In other words, they was no prior idea that something would happen or an intention at all until she understood that it was possible to 'wake-up' and so her interest took her in that direction.
What was present, through out the happenings was a commitment to be of service to 'That' and to follow what the heart said was right (in the moment).
Then, in February 1998, in the first session of Satsang with Isaac Shapiro in a week long silent retreat, (after only just meeting Isaac for the first time) Canela asked the question: "is it beyond perception?" Isaac simply said yes. In that moment, all that was perceived let go of itself as if it was something, leaving only empty space. Self-Realization occurred and remains consciously present.
Canela has been supporting people to Awaken to themselves and their world through Transformational Satsang gatherings and private Satsang sessions (in person or via phone) since 1999 around the world.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, growing up mainly in Prince George, BC, presently residing on Bowen Island, BC, Canada as well as in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico (when not travelling to offer Satsang) Canela remains available to support others to living in more enjoyment, peace, abundance and Presence ItSelf. Supporting Awareness to be aware of its Self.
Her main support in all settings is one of Self acceptance - of finding the love that exists in everything; supporting people to finding this in themselves, and in their relatings to others and their world. With many years of experience in being with herself and life as energy, her way of support is often inclusive of supporting people to find where attachments reside in their system (body, mind, energy field) then to feel the simplicity of that as it is accepted...and see what happens.

Read Poems by
Andrew Vassell
Like strawberry juices
overflows down your
precious cherry red lips,
these sensual senses
begins to erupt in the
membrane of my mind
which leaves me shivers
running through my
spine. How the nutrients
from your lips purifies me
and like an angel's wings
embedded around me, the
sensuality of your naked
body transcends through
me. Feel me touching you
tonight and let the energy
of our minds intertwine
till the levels our beautiful
love begins to boil. This
romance moment is design
for two, why not let it be
me and you.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 1, 1997 Former Kansas Sen. Nancy Kassebaum-Baker will chair a DoD advisory committee looking into military gender-integrated training and related issues.
Defense Secretary William S. Cohen said DoD "is not going to turn back the clock" but problems at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and elsewhere have raised questions about gender-integrated training. "We have to make sure that training is as effective as possible and that all soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are treated with fairness and dignity," Cohen said June 27 during a Pentagon press briefing.
Kassebaum-Baker anticipates the committee completing a report on the issue in six months and said the panel will call on people from many different walks of life as it researches gender-integrated training. "We share a goal of a strong, equitable armed forces and that the training will be such that men and women can reach their fullest potential," she said.
Cohen and Kassebaum-Baker said the committee will examine all levels of military training, including criticisms that DoD has lowered standards -- particularly in physical conditioning -- so women can be successful. The panel will also look at discipline, morale, training standards and training effectiveness.
The other committee members are retired Army Lt. Gen. G. Robert Forman, former chief of staff, Allied Forces Southern Europe; retired Vice Adm. Richard Allen, former commander Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Marcelite Harris, USAF, former director of maintenance; retired Marine Maj. Gen. Don Gardner, former commander of III Marine Expeditionary Force, Japan; Condoleezza Rice, provost, Stanford University; Deval L. Patrick, partner, law firm of Day, Berry and Howard, Boston, and former assistant attorney general for civil rights; Carolyn Ellis Staton, associate provost of the University of Mississippi, and former chair of Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services; John Dancy, former broadcast journalist with NBC News; and Marilyn Virginia Yarbrough, law professor, University of North Carolina.

How To Price Items at Flea Markets-Swap Meets
Have you ever tried to sell something that you knew was worth it, but no one would buy it?
You need to know THE GOLDEN RULE of flea markets and swap meets: AN ITEM IS ONLY WORTH WHAT SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.
Like it or not this is just a plain fact. This is why the pricing of your items is so important. Be sure to price your merchandise well in advance of the market and be sure to set the prices for everything you'll be selling. Also, you may want to change some of your prices from week to week, depending on which flea market you're selling at. If you regularly purchase most of your stock from the same place have a small variety of items, you know what your cost is and what the market will bear, you'll be safe with a simple markup policy for everything.
If, however, you make your merchandise purchases from different sources (wholesale overstock, closeout or return merchandise warehouses for instance) and your wholesale lots quite often contain different types of items, you'll find that a simple mark-up process will not apply.
A good general rule for pricing any merchandise which can be purchased in retail stores: The magic selling price seems to be about 66% less than an item's retail price. Pricing merchandise at half of its retail price usually isn't enough.. Buyers (especially women) will not buy anything from a flea market when they know they can buy it when it's on sale at a store for that price. For example, say you're asking $10 for a 'widget' which sells for $15 in stores. No one will buy it from you--but they will buy it from the store when it goes on sale for $10. This same principle applies no matter what the retail price of the item.
The pricing information we are providing here are GUIDELINES only. If you have a price strategy that is working well, by all means stick with it.
Additional Tips:
1. The first thing you want to do before a weekend flea market...go and purchase a local newspaper's weekend edition. It will have all the sales for that weekend. Check and see if any of your merchandise is on sale. If any items are on sale, reprice those items well below the stores sale price. You don't want to be selling your 'widgets' for $25 if Walmart has them on sale for $20.
2. If someone is haggling with you--and they walk away without BUYING, you've LOST. When this happens, it often pays to call them back and say, "OK, I'll give it to you for X amount." As long as this amount is exactly what they offered, they'll buy it. This way, you're still making a profit. On a slow selling day this tip can turn a bad day into a good day, and on a good day it can still increase your profits. With any potential customer, take the time to find the price you can both agree on, this makes for a "Win-Win" deal.
3. Sometime people think that they're getting a good deal only if they can beat you down to a ridiculously low price where you make little or nothing. Don't waste your time haggling with them, it will do no good and you might miss out on other buyers with whom you might have made a sale.
4. How do you set a selling price for an item when you've no idea of it's value? Sometimes you have to price something higher than the buyers are willing to pay. You will want to use this strategy to discover what the market will pay for your item: start with a high price and then gradually lower it, people will tell you what they think of your price and will eventually you will find out the best asking price!
5. Rare, antique or obscure items. For those items that just don't fit in the regular pricing strategies discussed above, The Antiques Roadshow people publish some pretty good guides that cover exactly how to determine an item's year of manufacturer, it's desirability among collectors, and of course, what is its approximate value. You can find these guides for sale all over the web and they are pretty reasonably priced.

I'd like to help your child in one or more of the following areas of Reading: Phonology, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension or SAT prep. I am a certified Orton Gillingham Reading Interventionist/tutor as well as a certified English teacher and Reading Specialist. I have 12 years experience helping children with language based reading difficulties learn to read. In that time I have been fortunate to see children who began with no real reading skills, gain skill, confidence, and motivation for continuing to learn to read and read to learn. The younger a child begins to get help, the faster the improvement. The older the child is, the longer it will take. So it's good to begin as soon as you can, but it's never too late either!
I also have expertise to coach students in grammar and writing skills for essays, writing and research, and also for improved performance on standardized tests like the Verbal SAT.
I have 16 years' experience as a high school English teacher.
I hope you will consider me if your child is having difficulties with reading or other areas related to English and is not progressing in school.
My fee is reflective of my education and experience.
I look forward to helping you or your child improve in learning to read and in reading to learn. Hello,
I'd like to help your child in one or more of the following areas of Reading: Phonology, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension or … Read more
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am an Orton-Gillingham Certified Reading tutor with an accredited certification from Massachusetts General Hospital, Reading Disabilities Unit (2002). This program is accredited by the International Multisensory Structured Language Educational Council (IMSLEC). My program of study consisted of 230 hours of practicum and lectures from June 2001-May 2002. For the past 12 years, since graduation, I have been tutoring students with dyslexia (AKA language-based learning disabilities). In addition I have continued education CEU's credits in the field; these credits are needed in order to maintain my IMSLEC certification.
My experience in English covers expertise in grammar, spelling, writing, and all areas of reading. I am a former high school English teacher and am a certified Reading Specialist in MA.
My background in English is so thorough that one of my colleagues has referred to me as a "Grammar Guru!" I have a solid background originating in Catholic Grammar School as well as a linguist's and poet's appreciation for the structure of language. One of my goals is to help students see the common sense connections that are there in grammar. Grammar is not the enemy! On the contrary, with good instruction, it opens students eyes to understanding how words and sentences all fit together.
My background in Reading covers a number of different areas. I am a certified Reading Specialist and a former HS English Teacher. I have specialized training and am certified through MA General Hospital's Reading Disabilities Clinic to address the reading difficulties of children with dyslexia, which can also be referred to as a language based learning disability. I have been working with children with reading disabilities since 2002 and have seen children who struggle with the foundations of language begin to be able to read with more confidence and facility through the Orton-Gillingham approach. This approach is a multisensory way of teaching reading. In addition to phonological awareness and phonics--essential foundations often missing for dyslexic children--reading instruction includes fluency, comprehension as well as spelling. It is a total instructional experience.
My background in Reading covers a number of different areas. I am a certified Reading Specialist and a former HS English Teacher. I am further trained in Reading Comprehension and Fluency Instruction.
SAT Reading skills require both content and strategy instruction. In many instances, students can improve their overall performance on this section of the test by knowing and applying some simple, yet important strategies. "You don't know what you don't know," but once students do know, then their approach can become more skillful and efficient. My goal as a tutor is to provide students with the information and practice they need in order to become better test takers of the Reading portion of the SAT.
I am able to help your student learn how to write/compose on the sentence, paragraph and essay level in preparation for the SAT essay. This will involve analyzing sample essays to note how the ones graded with full credit are developed and organized. It will also involve practicing stating a thesis and position on a given topic through development of supporting details. This will be done without a time pressure at first and then in a timed practice. Since the SAT also tests for knowledge of grammar, sentence and paragraph structure, these areas will also be practiced through SAT prep exercises.
My own background includes teaching Writing Process to older students in both public and private school settings as well as in one-to-one tutoring. Some of my own writing has been published in literary magazines.
I have over ten years' experience in helping High School students prepare for the SAT and the PSAT. I am also a former high school English teacher and am a certified Reading Specialist. My entire professional career as well as my avocation as poet and writer have given me a deep knowledge and versatility in language. The nuts and bolts of skill, syntax and grammar as well as the nuances of reading and writing styles allow me to approach students in a way that helps them understand more easily. My facility lends itself to their ease and comfort in asking questions and in understanding more their own strengths and weaknesses. From there instruction flows more naturally.
I able able to help children with beginning manuscript/printing and cursive writing for older children. I use Handwriting Without Tears materials which are structured and child friendly.
In addition, I am able to help your older child learn how to write/compose on the sentence, paragraph and essay level. My background includes teaching Writing Process in both public and private school settings to older students. I also have completed coursework in Project Read's Writing Strand.
M Barbara H. passed a background check on 2/27/14. The check was ordered by M Barbara through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to M Barbara, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

Frequent Tylenol Use in Pregnancy May Carry Risks
Monday, November 25th, 2013
Pregnant women who take Tylenol or over-the-counter pain-relieving medications that contain acetaminophen may be putting their babies at higher risk of developing language issues or behavioral problems, a new study conducted in Norway has found. More from NBC News:
The new study is the first to look at young children whose mothers took Tylenol while pregnant.
"Our findings suggest that (acetaminophen) might not be as harmless as we think," Ragnhild Eek Brandlistuen said. She led the study at the School of Pharmacy at the University of Oslo in Norway.
She and her co-authors studied 48,000 Norwegian children whose mothers answered survey questions about their medication use at weeks 17 and 30 of pregnancy, and again six months after giving birth.
Mothers filled out a follow-up questionnaire about their child's developmental milestones three years later.
Close to 4 percent of women took Tylenol for at least 28 days total during pregnancy.
Their children seemed to have poorer motor skills than kids whose mothers had taken the drug fewer times or not at all. Tylenol-exposed kids also tended to start walking later, have poorer communication and language skills and more behavior problems.
It's difficult to define risks for pregnant women and their children, since rigorous tests and controlled studies of drug exposure aren't ethical, Brandlistuen said. All researchers can do is closely observe women in the real world.
But this study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, involved a large number of women, and researchers also looked for any link to ibuprofen, a pain-relief alternative without acetaminophen.
They found no development problems tied to ibuprofen.
"Long-term use of (acetaminophen) increased the risk of behavior problems by 70 percent at age three," Brandlistuen said. "That is considerable."
Heavy users most often reported taking the drug for five to seven days in a row a few times during pregnancy, she said.

If you were faced with a rapidly approaching hurricane or tornado, or were caught unawares by a devastating earthquake, what would happen to your pets? Do you have a plan for how you'd keep them safe?
If you're among those who don't have a plan, the time to create one is now. September is National Preparedness Month, and that means making sure you're ready to keep both yourself and your pets safe in an emergency. Where to start? Read our tips for disaster preparedness. We'll tell you everything you need to know to keep your precious companion animals safe in an emergency.
"It's often too late to create a plan for your pets when you're in the middle of a crisis," says Tim Rickey, ASPCA Vice President of Field Investigations and Response. "The best thing to do is to be prepared in advance."
Think you're ready for anything? Take our preparedness quiz and find out!
If you're in a position to do so, please consider making a donation to the ASPCA today. With your support, we've been able to dispatch our responders to the most harrowing sites of natural disasters without a moment's hesitation. Help us be on the ground to help animals in need at the times when they need us most.

Guest blog by Deborah Dubow Press, Regulatory Affairs Senior Manager, ASPCA Government Relations
It has been nearly eight years since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, forever changing the way America responds to natural disasters. The human and animal suffering wrought by Katrina and Superstorm Sandy should remain fresh in our minds as we enter another hurricane season, and preparedness should top the agendas of animal caretakers and policy makers.
That's why yesterday we were shocked to learn that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may be reconsidering the disaster plan rule requiring all facilities licensed under the federal Animal Welfare Act—this includes breeders, zoos, research facilities, dealers, and other exhibitors and intermediate handlers—to prepare emergency plans for protecting and caring for animals during disasters. Asking those who use animals commercially to demonstrate a level of readiness to protect animals in their custody is fair and reasonable. We are dismayed by the possibility that the USDA would waver on a rule that could save lives at such a small cost.
For the ASPCA responders who experienced Katrina, Sandy, and countless other disaster deployments firsthand, the horrors of these events have not faded from memory: dogs chained in yards and left to drown; cats starving to death in homes after evacuations dragged on and on; animals covered in oil and toxic sludge; dogs stranded on rooftops; animals wandering the streets malnourished, dehydrated, and frightened, many never to be reunited with their owners.
The more that pet owners and animal facilities prepare for emergencies, the better responders can focus their relief efforts when disaster strikes. We hope that ultimately the USDA will remember the heartbreaks of Katrina, Sandy, Joplin, and countless other disasters and renew its resolve to protect imperiled animals under its jurisdiction.
Hurricane season officially started June 1, and experts are predicting an extremely active Atlantic Hurricane Season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center anticipates that up to 20 named storms will hit the U.S. over the next five months, with more than half of them hurricanes!
That means pet parents in hurricane-prone areas should develop an emergency plan in advance to make sure the whole family—including its furriest members—stay safe.
Here are the ASPCA's top six tips for hurricane season prep:
• Always bring pets indoors at the first sign or warning of a storm or disaster.
• Make sure all pets wear collars and ID tags with up-to-date identification—the ASPCA also recommends microchipping your pet as a more permanent form of I.D.
• Obtain a rescue alert sticker, which will let rescuers know that pets are inside your home. You'll get these when you order a free ASPCA Pet Safety Pack.
• Keep a pet emergency kit and supplies handy with items such as medical records, water, pet food and medications, and pet First Aid supplies.
• Arrange a safe haven for your pets in the event of evacuation. Do not leave your pets behind.
• Choose a designated caregiver who can take care of your pet in the event you are unable to do so.
We hope you and your pets have a fun and safe summer!
The U.S. Senate lost a voice for animals this week with the passing of Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). A leader on many important pieces of legislation to help animals, his contributions will have a lasting impact for years to come.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katina, which saw many people forced to leave their animals behind as they evacuated, Sen. Lautenberg helped pass the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act. This legislation, signed into law in 2006, ensures that localities consider pets and animals in their disaster plans. The ASPCA sees the benefits of Sen. Lautenberg's legacy today as we assist states and municipalities in disaster recovery efforts all across the country.
Senator Lautenberg was also a leader on legislation to protect animals during air travel, and had a special fondness for horses. He was a leader on the Horse Transportation Safety Act, which would ban the cruel transport of horses in double-decked trailers, and was a longtime supporter of legislation to ban the grisly practice of horse slaughter. The senator's compassion also extended to wildlife. He fought to protect exotic animals from captive hunts; dolphins and whales from brutal slaughters; wildlife and pets from the dangers of lead shot; and polar bears from trophy hunts. He had a big heart and a strong sense of justice.
The ASPCA remembers Sen. Lautenberg for his many years of service to this country and for being a strong voice for animals on Capitol Hill.
Tinker's family was at work when the tornado hit and destroyed their home. After visiting two shelters searching for their precious pooch and almost losing hope, the family visited OK Humane, where their beloved pup was waiting for them.
This Memorial Day weekend was one of healing and hope for the residents of Moore, Oklahoma. The ASPCA saw the community's incredible resilience firsthand as many of our responders spent the weekend on the ground in Oklahoma City assisting the heroic sheltering and rescue efforts of Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane).
The ASPCA was happy to lend a hand to OK Humane and provide extra staffing to handle the influx of animals affected by this disaster. In what was truly a joint effort, we also enlisted the support of IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), Code 3 Associates Animal Disaster Response, RedRover, and SAWA (Society of Animal Welfare Administrators) to help OK Humane.
We are thrilled to report that dozens of reunions occurred over the weekend, as people who lost everything came to OK Humane and found missing family members. Here are just a few of those heartwarming moments:
Tasha the Pomeranian, another tornado survivor, gets a big hug from her human sister on May 25 at OK Humane.
Porkchop and Asia (pictured above) were brought to OK Humane as strays shortly after the tornado. They were reunited with their pet parents over the weekend.
Chance, a handsome Boxer, suffered facial fractures and a deep wound on his leg as a result of the storm. Over the weekend, Chance was reunited with his guardian at OK Humane after their home was completely destroyed by the tornado. Here he is pictured with ASPCA Director of Planning and Field Operations Joel Lopez.
