The Nine Mile Canyon Coalition met on Sept. 5 and the main topic of discussion was the road that runs through the "World's longest art gallery."
Present at the meeting were county representatives, including Sheriff James Cordova and road supervisor Ray Hanson, BLM officials, residents of the canyon, citizens with a general interest and tourism representatives from both Carbon and Duchesne County.
The issue was the condition of the road and what could be done about it. The crux of the matter was to figure out what direction to head to solve the dust and mud problem on the road.
"What I would like in the immediate future would be a gravel road that is graded," said Layne Miller. "We need to look at intermediate goals like what to do with culverts and whether magnesium chloride would be helpful."
Miller said he was opposed to paving the road because of the heavy use a paved road may bring.
Hanson said that the road would require a lot of money to bring up to any standard.
"We have spent nearly a million dollars on that road in the last ten years," he told the group. He went on to explain that the money that the county gets for B and C class roads can only be used in certain amounts each year when it is being spent in-house.
"Other wise we must contract out the work," he said. "It works out to about a $100,000 a year limit and we have stretched that a little."
Some in the group suggested that the $100,000 should be used toward permanent road changes rather than temporary measures such as grading. But Hanson pointed out that money goes not only for grading but for snow removal and other problems.
"If we spend that money on permanent improvements what will we use for what maintenance we can do on the rest of the road."
The group also discussed the problems that create a bad situation. There is not only industrial traffic that is supposed to be on the road, but it seems there are often trucks using it to avoid the port of entry stops the state has set up in the area.
"Home owners are our eyes and ears up there," Cordova told the group, referring directly to the residents of the canyon present. "When you see unlicensed vehicles, overweight loads, wide loads, call us. We will come. We are working with the Utah Highway Patrol to start setting up scales on this side of the canyon to catch some of this. But that also has to happen on the other side as well."
Carbon County Commissioner Bill Krompel also pointed out that random enforcement is sometimes better than regular enforcement.
It was brought up that with the sensitive nature of the road the damage large heavy loads are doing is more than just to the road base. Some damage to petroglyphs appears to be resulting from the dust that is churned up. In addition many tourists who come to the area are upset when they get there because the place is choked with either dust or is undrivable because of mud. All the property owners in the canyon have stories of people who have driven through it and then stopped and asked them where the rock art is. They often can't find it for the dust.
"Some day the mines in the area will be gone and all we will have is tourism," said Tanner to the group. "The governor needs to come down here and see how one of his famous back ways is being ruined because the state won't provide money to fix the road."
To pave the entire canyon would require culverts or spillways where water could run over the road. It would also require millions of dollars just to pave one lane through the 70 plus miles the road now travels.
While some in the meeting complained that the oil, gas and logging industry were to blame for at least some of the problem, more felt that they were more of an answer than a problem.
"I don't think there is any enemy here," said the tourism director from Duchesne County. "Industry is good and they can help. It is an opportunity. We shouldn't alienate anyone, but make partners instead."
Kathy Hanna, from Carbon County Tourism told the group that she thought maybe everyone has not been aggressive enough on working toward solving the problem.
While there was still a difference in opinion of what kind of surface should be placed on the road, the group did decide to work toward some priorities. Some believe pavement is the answer while others think paving the road could lead to trouble, such as too high of use and that it could become a "speedway" for travelers between Vernal and Grand Junction.
First of all the committee will start aggressively working toward funding options, such as grants and low interest loans.
Next they will decide, if paving is to be done and where it is needed first. Some believe the pavement should just be extended a little at a time from the mine area where it now ends. Others believe that it should begin in front of residences in the canyon and then move to other areas. One residence has pavement in front of it because it is on the other side of the Duchesne County line and that county did provide the pavement because of safety and health concerns.
Another thought was to increase signage in the canyon for safety reasons. Some of those attending pointed out how much signage has helped the situation on U.S. 6.
In the end Krompel told the group he would look into possible Community Impact Board grant money to conduct a study of the canyon and see what the options are. He and others at the meeting felt that if both Duchesne and Carbon Counties get behind such a request they could get the money to do such a study.
"I have found that when applying for grants it is much easier to get the money when counties are conjoined in a cause," stated Cordova.
The group will meet again in the near future to discuss other options and problems.

Submission Godfather of Xen on why virtualzation means everyt->
coondoggie writes: "While conventional wisdom says virtualized environments and public clouds create massive security headaches, the godfather of Xen, the open source hypervisor, says virtualization actually holds a key to better security. Isolation — the ability to restrict what computing goes on in a given context — is a fundamental characteristic of virtualization that can be exploited to improve trustworthiness of processes on a physical system even if other processes have been compromised, says Simon Crosby, a creator of Xen and a founder of startup Bromium, which is looking to use Xen features to boost security."

BUFFALO, N.Y. - More Buffalo schools are using green totes to recycle that will help boost the city's recycling rate.
Investigative Post reported in November that only two schools were using the totes that were distributed to residents early last year, and that the district was not doing much otherwise to promote recycling, although some individuals schools were.
Since then, 13 more schools have started using the city's green totes. Allied Waste has also agreed to accept all recyclables in Dumpsters that had only accepted cardboard and paper.

By Kevin R. Betts
Twenty-two year old Jared Loughner stood in a Phoenix courtroom yesterday faced with federal murder and attempted murder charges. Although much is still being learned about why he targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in a shooting rampage on Saturday, his actions appear politically motivated. At a past political event, he asked Giffords questions along the lines of "What do you think of these people who are working for the government and they can't describe what they do?" and "What is government if words have no meaning?" Loughner's political leanings are unclear, but friends say he expressed dissatisfaction with Giffords and her views. Could perceptions of threat posed by the views of Giffords and her constituents have contributed to Loughner's violent rampage?
The essence of intergroup threat theory is an expectation that future intergroup relations will be harmful in some way to the ingroup (Stephan, Renfro, & Davis, 2008). These threats may be realistic in that they threaten political power, economic power, or well-being, or they may be symbolic in that they threaten values, beliefs, or a worldview. It is possible that Loughner perceived the views of Giffords and her constituents as threatening in one or more of these ways. He expressed dissatisfaction to his friends and others regarding her views and ability to lead. More importantly, affected individuals react to threats both psychologically and behaviorally. Psychological reactions may include fear, anger, resentment, or helplessness. Behavioral reactions may be avoidant or aggressive in nature. Although avoidant reactions are most common, aggressive reactions become more likely with negative previous interactions and a strong ingroup identity. Loughner's friends describe contentious interactions between him and Giffords at past political events, but his association with opposing groups is unclear. Nonetheless, his actions were clearly aggressive.
It is probably too soon to draw firm conclusions about whether intergroup threat acted as a precursor to the Arizona shooting rampage. More information about Loughner's political leanings, formal or informal associations with any political groups, history of prior contact with Giffords and her constituents, and perceptions of threat posed by the views of Giffords and her constituents are all needed. Yet, intergroup threat is worth considering as a possible precursor to the incident as the case unfolds.

Samaritan Medical Center has been appointed temporary operator of the North Country Family Health Center, formalizing an agreement worked out last week to continue serving patients of the troubled North Country Childrens Clinic.
The renamed organization will operate under the management of Samaritan for up to 180 days, or longer if the state Department of Health determines an extension is necessary.
The clinic announced Oct. 8 it would shut down for lack of operating funds, but Samaritan agreed to serve as temporary operator and lent the agency $200,000 to stay afloat. The agency is $1.5 million in debt.
The temporary operator agreement was signed last week by the hospital, health center and state Health Department, according to a Samaritan news release Monday. All involved parties are working toward a long-term plan to ensure the health center remains open.
Medical, dental, mental health and other services continue to be offered at the health center, 238 Arsenal St., and its sites throughout Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Everything seems to be going very well, said Krista A. Kittle, Samaritan spokeswoman. The programs have been running as is, without interruption, since the Department of Health and Samaritan have stepped in.
The operating agreement had been in the works for the past few weeks. Still to be figured out are the terms of Samaritans loan and the long-term viability of the health center.
A work plan will be prepared and submitted by Samaritan within the first 30 days, which identifies and offers solutions to NCFHC deficiencies, financial difficulties and a time line for implementing the plan to DOH for approval, according to the news release.
Ms. Kittle said she was unsure whether the health center had yet been paid the $275,000 in federal grant money it is owed. That will be a part of the work plan, which seeks to identify any existing and new funding sources, she said.
The overall goal, Ms. Kittle said, is for Samaritan to step down from the overseeing role and have the clinic run under a self-sustaining model.
While the health center continues to receive new patient calls, the recent events that have unfolded at the clinic have left some people hesitant to turn to the agency, Ms. Kittle said.
Sometimes temporary operator makes people think its a temporary situation, she said.
A temporary operator does not mean the health center will be open only temporarily before closing again. Samaritan is just acting as a manager throughout the transition process.
Whatever resources we have in house and are able to provide to them, we are, Ms. Kittle said. Any type of opportunity to share services or learn from our in-house experts so they can develop a sustainable plan is something weve offered in moving forward.
Under the temporary operator agreement, Samaritan will manage day-to-day operations at the health center. Samaritan has named Joey Marie Horton, deputy director of the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization, as interim executive director of the health center. Daniel A. Wasneechak resigned from the health centers top position Oct. 25, after just two months on the job.
For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call the health center at 782-9450, or visit its website at www.childrens-clinic.org.

Seizures in Children
Seizures in Children Overview
A seizure occurs when the brain functions abnormally, resulting in a change in movement, attention, or level of awareness. Different types of seizures may occur in different parts of the brain and may be localized (affect only a part of the body) or widespread (affect the whole body). Seizures may occur for many reasons, especially in children. Seizures in newborns may be very different than seizures in toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents. Seizures, especially in a child who has never had one, can be frightening to the parent or caregiver.

Supporters of Maine's Clean Elections system lost ground in this past legislative session, when $1.2 million dollars was cut from the program in the effort to balance the state budget. Several bills that would have boosted funding to clean elections failed, but now an advocacy group is hoping to take the issue directly to the voters, in the form of a citizen's initiative that would not only restore, but increase funding for legislative and gubernatorial candidates through a surcharge on court fines.
Maine's first-in-the-nation, publicly financed system for electing governors and lawmakers has been beaten up pretty badly over the last few years. Court rulings eliminated matching funds under the Maine Clean Election Act, and the Maine Legislature has periodically raided its budget during tough times. This year Gov. Paul LePage eliminated $1.2 million dollars from the fund that could have been used by his challengers next year. Through it all, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections executive director Andrew Bossie has tried to remain optimistic about state government's commitment to the program. But now he and other clean elections supporters are taking it to the streets, submitting a petition request with the Secretary of State's office.
"After we submit today, in early September we'll be granted petitions where we will go out and fan across the state to collect more than 58,000 signatures of Maine voters that want to see our campaign finance laws strong," Bossie said.
Bossie and other members of Maine Citizens hope that voters will support efforts to regain some of the lost ground the clean elections system has ceded in recent years. Bossie said, if approved at the ballot box, the citizen initiative would level the playing field for clean elections candidates.
"What this bill would do today is candidates that demonstrate in-district support from their voters that go out and collect $5 checks would be given the opportunity to access additional funding to stay competitive in their campaigns," Bossie said. "Right now we have a clean elections law that really makes some clean elections candidates sitting ducks."
Republican state Sen. Ed Youngblood, who was also a former member of the state ethics commission that rules on clean election law disputes, attempted to pump more money into the system. His bill was enacted by lawmakers but carried over to the next session because there wasn't enough money to fund it. Youngblood supports the citizen initiative which would nearly triple public funding for gubernatorial candidates from $1.2 million dollars to $3.2 million dollars. House candidates would see their maximum distributions jump from $5,000 to $16,500 and Senate campaign limits would expand from $21,455 to $65,000. Taxpayer funding for the system would end under the new plan and be replaced with a 15% surcharge on all civil and criminal fines and penalties ordered by Maine courts. Youngblood and others said the new system would eliminate the criticism of the clean election system as "welfare for politicians," and would set up a reliable revenue stream for the program.
"I believe that this effort will substantially improve the clean election effort and begin to take some of the big money out of the political process," Youngblood said.
Supporter said the citizen initiative ALSO addresses other long-time criticisms by prohibiting registered candidates from participating in political action committees and BY barring ballot question committees from spending money on candidate campaigns. Activist Anne Luther, said the proposed initiative would curtail the overly generous spending limits for privately financed gubernatorial candidates authorized by LePage two years ago when Republicans controlled the Legislature.
"This legislation does roll back the increase in contribution limits to gubernatorial candidates back to $750 per election that was upped to $1,500 per election in the 125th Legislature and this puts that back to $750 per election," Luther said.
Democrats said the clean election initiative reflects the intentions of Mainers who overwhelmingly approved the system in a 1996 statewide referendum. But Republican state Sen. Andre Cushing, a Hampden Republican, predicts that voters will reject the additional court costs and the new higher cash distributions for politicians.
"I've got no problem with taking issues of this nature to the voters because I think the voters are smart enough to understand whether they're being manipulated or not," Cushing said.
The Maine Secretary of State has 15 days to review the application and Maine Citizens for Clean Elections hopes to start circulating petitions in September to place the question before the voters next year, or possibly 2015.

Last month we wrote up a blog post about End-of-the-Year CSA Reporting and reminded you that this is a good time to get some feedback from your CSA members. Customer feeback is an important way to confirm that what you are offering is meeting the needs of your community, and Small Farm Central itself often uses surveys to gather information and evaluate our services. Recently we did our own end-of-the-year survey and we've compiled some of the highlights to share with you.
First off, there were a lot of great suggestions in the responses. We will use these suggestions to build a development roadmap for the next year. The suggestions keep us improving, but the positive comments keep us going! Here are just a few nice comments we received:
"Everything! We were so excited to switch to SFC this past June, just in time for our Summer Session, and we have gotten nothing but rave reviews from our members. The template is sleek and displays information very well, and we have already found that it makes a big difference in how new customers find us."
"That I can post a short "note" that will go out automatically to those subscribed to RSS, and now learning that I can have it go directly to our Facebook page too. I like that I can email for help and get a response, and that there are people I can speak with for help at SFC. Customer service is excellent, which is what I rave about to others when they tell me the problems they have with their websites."
"It is easy to use/update for the most part. Frankly, I just don't utilize/update it as much as I should."
Some other areas to highlight:
How likely are you to continue using Small Farm Central's services during the next year?
95% of respondents said "very likely" or "somewhat likely".
How strongly would you recommend Small Farm Central's services to others?
78% of respondents said "very strongly" or "strongly".
We are always interested in finding out how our CSA farmers are running their programs. This year we asked about customization options for CSA customers and found out the following:
Do you allow your CSA customers to do any type of customization to their shares?
36% are doing some sort of CSA customization
32% are considering it for the future
16% will never do customized CSA
15% other
What kind of CSA customization do you allow or do you want to allow?
Full box customization through online interface 22%
Partial box customization through online interface 18%
Flexible weeks -- for example, members pick-up 16 of 20 weeks during the season 26%
Pay-as-you-go CSA -- for example, $25/week until cancelled 17%
Ability to change pick-up locations for a specific week or place box on hold and get a double-box later 45%
Other 30%
We also inquired about mobile technology that farmers were currently using. This is a major area of interest to us moving forward and we see lots of opportunity for us to help our farms with the "mobile" world. The technology is definitely changing quickly!
In closing, we just want to thank those of you who took the time to fill out our survey. We want you to know that we value your responses and it means a lot that you took the time out of your day to assess our services. This kind of feedback is essential as we look to improve into the future.
Keep the feedback coming and we'll keep working to improve our software!
Thanksgiving wishes from Small Farm Central!
What's the best gift a farmer can give a loved one this holiday season?
One that's produced from the hard work they put in on their farm.
What's the second best gift? One produced by a fellow farmer!
For those of us without farms of our own, the best gift is any that supports the work of a small farmer. So for farmers, fans, and foodies alike, check out this list of gifts from some of the farmers that use Small Farm Central's website services to sell their goods online. Click on each farm name and you'll be taken directly to their online store!
Honey makes the best gift! It's practical and indulgent at the same time. Bedillion Honey farm in Western Pennsylvania sells their honey in a variety of sizes and in a transparent container. With the golden honey and farm logo on the bottle, all you need to do is add a ribbon. It's too pretty to wrap!
This 100% baby alpaca scarf keeps you warm and highlights your features, especially those with "baby blues". No wonder this scarf is so popular and looks good on so many wearers.
Garlic is the specialty at Knob View Farm, and they make their garlic salt with care in small batches. The ingredients include naturally evaporated sea salt and ground garlic, but their secret addition is roasted garlic seed for a richer garlic flavor in all your meat and vegetable dishes.
Based on the popularity of their farm-grown, full-fruit jams, Plum Granny Farm has added gift-sized versions of its top three varieties for the Holidays. These little gems in a jar are filled with Old Fashioned Raspberry Jam, Old Fashioned Blackberry Jam or Raspberry-Cranberry Jam and all are available on their website for ordering.
Eugene Wyatt at Catskill Merino Sheep Farm names his yarn after things that inspire him, be that an Impressionist painting, a New York City neighborhood or even a treat for his dog. Just browse the yarn store on his website and Eugene's rainbow will inspire you to gift his hand-dyed yarn to the knitters in your life, or even take up the hobby yourself!
Soften and moisturize your elbows, knees, and feet with this deliciously sented body scrub from the Girly Goat's Soap Store. Brown Sugar gentle removes dry skin while wonderful oils smooth your skin. Made with a touch of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice it's a treat for your body with a sweet fragrance.
Vollmecke Orchards has put together a trio of delicious fruit butters. They are all made in small batches using fresh fruits, a little citrus, some spices and a touch of white grape juice concentrate to sweeten them up a bit. All delicious as a topping for vanilla ice cream, swirled into yogurt or used in baking. Bring them along with you on your holiday travel, they make the perfect hostess gift!
Most traditional CSA farmers are finishing up the final weeks of their 2013 CSA program around this time of the year. We at Small Farm Central hope it was a successful season for you. In the same way that school teachers always laugh if you ask if they are excited for their "time off" when the school year ends, we know that farmers never really have time off, even when the ground is unworkable and sometimes the roads are impassable. One of the tasks you'll find yourself doing this winter is a reassessment of your CSA program's business model. What worked? What didn't? What can be improved or used as a new opportunity? Your Small Farm Central reporting tools can help inform those decisions.
The Income Report at Member Assembler > Statistics contains compiled data for all of the invoices for a season. In addition to the counts of shares, which you've been looking at all year, you also have totals for Coupons you've given out, manual Adjustments you've made, plus any Discounts and Charges that you configured. Some things you might consider while going over this information:
-How well did some of your marketing strategies work out with specific Coupons? Is it worth expanding that or saving yourself the effort?
-How much did you recoup in credit card transaction fees? Did it wind up balancing what you lost in processing fees?
-What about early signup discounts? Does it seem that many people used it? Is there a way to simplify your life a little by rolling a lot of types of discounts into one using a percentage rather than flat amounts?
Retention is always a good indication of program success. Using the new tool also at Member Assembler > Statistics, you can see not only what percent of your memberships continued from one season to another, you can also see how this breaks down by Pickup Location and Member Type. How well did you do with Retention this year compared to last year? Did one Pickup perform considerably poorer than the others? It might be worth deciding if there was an issue with that location and maybe finding a replacement for next year. Is the retention rate really high for folks who got a new specialized share type? That could just be an indication that more of your committed members chose it or it could be that it gave customers a strong sense of satisfaction in its value. You can also compare your own numbers to our other Member Assembler CSAs by looking at the Benchmark data.
Reviewing this information will help you to make decisions about what should be changed for your next season and to see where your main focus will lie. If Retention is good, you can feel confident in what you offer and your service. Use your great reputation in your marketing efforts. If retention seems on the lower side, concentrate on ways to fixing the issues so that customers will want to return season after season.
Lastly, if you are also a website customer of Small Farm Central, you probably already know about the custom forms you can build at Create Content > Forms. This is a great opportunity to get direct feedback from your members as to their satisfaction with your CSA and things they'd like to see. You can also take advantage of survey software online. Lots of companies offer a free version to try out. It always helps to offer an incentive to the customers who take time out of their day to fill something out. How about a drawing for that fifty-pound pumpkin you've been wondering who's going to take off your hands?

As CSA programs end and Farmers Markets close for the winter, this edition of the We Love Our Farmers photo series reminds us that we will do it all again next year! Here is a photo of Town Farm's early season action at market.
"This is a photo of Town Farm crew members selling our produce on opening day at Tuesday Market in Northampton, MA. The radishes in the picture were grown in our high tunnel and harvested April 30th, just in time to renovate the beds and transplant this year's tomatoes. Town Farm is a six-acre farm run by Oona Coy & Ben James, who also started and manage Tuesday Market."

It is that time of year when many farms are wrapping up their main CSA season and are realizing that some of their members still have outstanding balances. What is the best way to figure out who owes what? And what is the best way to communicate to your members what they owe and how to pay?
An important note to remember is that the amount in the balance field for a member is their balance across all seasons for which they have been a member. So even if a member is paid up for the most recent season, it is possible they could be showing a balance due to activity from previous seasons or due to signing up for a new season.
To find out what members are still showing a balance owed, navigate to:
Member Assembler > Members > View Members
Make sure that you have all advanced filters and searches removed so that it displays your complete list of members. Then click on the title above the "Balance" column to sort them based on that column. If you click on it once, it should show it lowest to highest balance; if you click it again, it should show it highest to lowest.
You can also use the "Advanced Filter" section located at the top of this page to search by balance. The balance search will pull up memberships with an outstanding balance of greater than or equal to the amount that you enter into this field. To search for all outstanding balances, put 0.01 and your results will show all memberships owing you one penny or more.
Now that you have a sense of how many members have outstanding balances and how large those balances are, you can send out a payment request to your members. To do so, navigate to:
Member Assembler > Accounting > Payment Request
Click on the "Add a Payment Request" link in the yellow bar. This will bring up a screen where you create your payment request. Since it is the end of the season, we'll assume that you want to get 100% paid up for any outstanding balances.
Step 1: If you are trying to get paid in full for ANY outstanding balances, you will select the first option "Percentage of Overall Member Balance". If you are only concerned with getting paid in full for the season that is currently ending, choose the "Percentage of Balance Remaining on <season> Invoice" option (you'll need to make sure you are administering the season that you are trying to collect the balances from).. Then put "100" in the "Request Amount" field.
Step 2: In this step you can further narrow your request parameters. First, you can sort out only people who have at least a certain amount outstanding. So if you are only interested in sending out a payment request to people who owe more than $50, you can enter it here. At this point in the season you probably want the request to go to anyone with an outstanding balance. In that case, leave the amount at $.01. In this step you can also select only members with specific member types to receive the payment request.
Step 3: At the bottom of the page there will be a default email created for you. This email has variables in it that will fill in with the individual member's specific information. If you allow for online payments, the email will include a link to your online payment page. If you want to include additional information in the email, you can customize the message as needed. When ready, click "Save and Select Users".
Step 4: At this point a sample version of the payment request will come up on the screen and a list of all members fitting your search criteria will be listed below it. Read over the email and make sure it includes all the information you want and that the formatting is correct.
If you are ready to send the payment request, select the users that you want to receive it (usually you'll want to send it to all of them, but you can select which specific members from the list you want to receive it) and then click the "Send Payment Request" button. If you are not ready to send the payment request yet, that's ok. At this point the payment request is saved and you can come back to it later to send. Simply re-navigate to the Payment Request page when you are ready and click the "Edit/Send" link next to the payment request to access it again.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: If you accept online credit card payments and have a "online transaction fee" for members who pay by credit card, be aware that that fee is only calculated at the initial checkout. If you have members who initially checked out as "invoice only" but decide to make a later payment by credit card, they will not be charged that online transaction fee. Be aware of this if you offer these multiple payment options. In your email you may want to make clear that unless a member has previously paid by credit card that they should not use the credit card payment option.
That's all there is to it. For more detailed information on these topics, check out these help files in our KnowledgeBase regarding payment requests and adding payments and adjustments to invoices.
Earlier this Fall, we encouraged our CSA farmers to go back to school and learn about what's new with our Member Assembler software, but just because you're not running a CSA, doesn't mean you're off the hook. There are plenty of opportunities out there to refresh your knowledge and learn about what's new in small farming.
If you're looking to take a little break from from the homestead, consider mixing work with a vacation. There are a lot events happening this winter, with opportunities to stay close to home or travel across the country and visit someplace new.

The Charge/Discount section of Member Assembler is already filled with easy tools to help you set up discounts or charges that can be applied during your member sign-up process. There are ways to prorate your share costs so that you can continue to accept members even after you've started delivery, a tool that lets you add charges to certain share types or pickup locations, and even a way to limit the amount a time that a charge or discount is valid.
Recently we've added another way to offer discounts to your members. This new option is called the "Charge/Discount for Multiple Member Type Combination". It works like this:
Suppose you've set up your new season to be an all-year at once signup. You have a Member Type for a Spring Share, a Member Type for a Summer Share, and a Member Type for a Fall Share with different prices and Options for each. To encourage people to sign up early for all your seasons, you'd like to offer a discount. However, you only want the discount to be applied if people choose an option and sign up for all three of these Member Types. In the past, there were more complicated solutions to achieving this type of discount, but our new option makes this easier for you.
To get to the Charge/Discount section of the Control Panel navigate to: Member Assembler > Configure > Charge/Discounts. Once there, click on the "Charge/Discount for Multiple Member Type Combination". All you need to do is mark which of your Member Types you want people to choose to recieve your discount. Then, when your member checks out during the sign-up process, if they've chosen an option from each of those types, they'll get the discount! This is a great way to encourage people to support your farm with a greater initial commitment and reward your most supportive customers.
For more detailed instructions on creating a discount like this, and to remind yourself of all of the charge/discount tools at your disposal, revisit the updated Charges & Discounts Cookbook article in the Small Farm Central Knowledge Base.
Happy Halloween everyone! For this edition of the We Love Our Farmers photo series, we visit Oakridge Farms in Wisconsin.
"This is our pumpkin display at our "on farm" farmstand that is open 7 days a week through the season, June-October." -Jodi Leslie, Oakridge Farms

Those Embarrassing Questions!
Answers to the Tattoo & Piercing Questions You Were Afraid to Ask.
There are some questions about getting a tattoo or piercing that are difficult, even embarrassing, to ask. But that doesn't mean they're not valid and important questions to ask. Here the questions have been asked for you, and the answers are provided.
I want to get a tattoo on my hip, but does that mean I will have to go bottomless? How can I get this tattoo and keep my modesty?
You will want to make it easy for your artist to get to the area of the tattoo, but never do anything that makes you uncomfortable. If your artist makes you feel uncomfortable, walk out.
That being said, I think the best thing for you to wear in this case would be a skirt or dress. Not tight, and not fancy though. You will need to be able to pull it up enough, and you don't want to get ink on a nice dress. If you can't stand the thought of wearing a skirt or dress, I would go with a pair of shorts that are really loose in the leg and can be pulled up enough.
Pulling your trousers down or taking them off would be a last option if you are concerned about showing too much. I think the other 2 ways make more sense. You can also bring along a towel or blanket to cover up your lower legs if you're a little shy – just tell them you're cold. 😉
I want to get a PA (Prince Albert) piercing, but I've heard that after you get it done, you have to sit down to urinate. Is this true?
Sometimes this is the case, especially during the initial healing period of the piercing. However, that doesn't mean it's a permanent situation. Many men with PA piercings have been able to "train" themselves to control their urine flow so that they can continue to stand. It may take a little practice, but it's all mind over matter. If it's important for you to stand, you'll be able to find a way to teach yourself to do it.
I am wanting to get a tattoo in my pubic area, but I'm concerned about pubic hair. Do I need to shave before my appointment? What about waxing?
We have had several discussions about this on the message board, so you might like to look there and read some of them. You can find the link to the forum at the forum login page, and you can just log in as a guest to read the messages there.
But other than that, don't worry about shaving beforehand unless you want to. That is usually the job of the artist – and even if you do shave beforehand, they will probably do it when you get there anyway to make sure it is perfectly smooth before they start. Since pubic hair is a little difficult to shave, I'm sure they would appreciate you at least giving them a head start by shaving some before arriving if you have a lot to remove.
After getting the tattoo, you won't be able to shave for at least a couple weeks, and this may be uncomfortable but won't hurt your tattoo. You don't want to shave until there is no risk of hurting the tattoo – you can find this information in the article, When is it Safe to Shave Again?.
I want to get my nose pierced, but I have allergies and get colds in the winter. How do you blow your nose?
Once a nose (nostril or septum) piercing is healed, blowing your nose is as simple as if it weren't pierced. The jewelry really doesn't get in the way, and you learn to work around it if it does. But the first few weeks, during the healing process, it will be difficult to relieve your sinuses. It is best to keep this in mind when making an appointment to get your nose pierced – the peak of allergy season or flu season is not a good time to do this.
Getting the piercing can even lower your immune system and make you more prone to illness. Take vitamins to keep your immune system healthy and keep up with your allergy medication to avoid excessive mucus in the sinus cavities. If you must blow, do so carefully and thoroughly clean your piercing afterward.
I am thinking about getting a tattoo on my penis. Do I have to be erect for them to do this?
My friend (tattoo artist and piercer) Gerry answers this one with, "[It] does not have to be hard (erect). However, it does need to be stretched taut; the method being left to the imagination." So, what he means is that the artist, who will no doubt (and had better be) experienced in this kind of tattoo will do whatever is necessary to keep the skin tight for a good, clean tattoo. It is not necessary for you to do, or worry about, anything.
If I get my penis tattooed or pierced, I'm afraid I might get aroused when the artist touches me. How can I prevent this, or what should I do if it happens?
Gerry also answers this question by saying, "If a guy is turned on, it's a human reaction. If the piercer is a [female] just smile; if a man, (depending on sexual preference) smile or apologize. Most professional artists understand these things and don't take them personally." In other words, don't sweat it!

Whitepaper - Advanced 2.4 GHz Technology
In today's workplace, businesses demand that employees be increasingly mobile to move quickly, with computer equipment in hand, between in-house meetings, office to home, office to offsite meetings, and to travel to distant locations. More and more companies are therefore prioritizing the adoption of both wireless networks and notebook computers to not only meet these mobility needs, but also to promote comfort and productivity for their busy employees.
Innovation Brief - Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking: The World Is Your Mouse Pad
Although mouse tracking technology has advanced significantly in the last two decades – from ballmice, to optical, to laser – some surfaces have remained a challenge. Without a mouse pad, today's mice couldn't track on extremelysmooth or transparent surfaces – such as lacquered tabletops and glass. Beginning in 2005, Logitech – the world's leadingmanufacturer of computermice – embarked on a multiyear research and development project to create a mouse that could overcome these limitations. After considering many options – including Doppler radar, UVimaging and interferometry techniques – Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking was developed.
Innovation Brief - Advanced 2.4 GHz Wireless Technology
Wireless networks. Cell phones. Wireless printers. It's a wireless work world and today's offices are teeming with wireless laptops. But while the benefits of a truly wireless office are increasingly apparent, some businesses are still concerned about using wireless computer peripherals – such as keyboards and mice – because of the potential for interference and the cost of installation.
Innovation Brief - Delivering Comfort for Busy Professionals: Comfort Wave Design and Negative Tilt from Logitech
It's easy to understand why improved comfort can directly result in improved productivity. Data entry. E-mail. Instant messages. Presentations. Spreadsheets. Web searches. In today's workplace, computers are the dominant platform through which work gets done. As a result, more and more time is spent typing on a keyboard. According to a study Harvard University conducted for Logitech (Dennerlein 2006), the average PC user types 2 million keystrokes per year. The result can often be fatigue – and less effective employees. To improve comfort for busy professionals, Logitech for Business introduced the Logitech® Comfort Wave 450 keyboard...

Logitech believes that people want and deserve comfort. Our approach to keyboard design begins with the science of ergonomics and includes continual testing of different comfort keyboard concepts. The result is strikingly attractive keyboards shaped to fit the curves of the human hand.

Village Common pond named for benefactor
The Bedford Village Common's skating pond was named the Anagnost Family Pond in honor of Dick and Demetria Anagnost. The family has made many contributions to town, including the construction of the pond. (Susan Clark Photo)
The Bedford Village Common has taken nearly 20 years to build, but it took only minutes for the Town Council to accept the Bedford Village Common Development Committee's recommendation to recognize a Bedford family.
At the June 26 meeting, town councilors voted 6-0 to name the pond in the Village Common the Anagnost Family Pond.
The naming of the skating pond was part of a naming-rights agreement with Dick and Demetria Anagnost, who provided in-kind services to the Bedford Village Common, especially in building the pond.
"The pond is a major component of the park. It is a feature that will, hopefully, attract a lot of use this coming winter, and it didn't get there without significant effort," said Councilor Bill Jean. "I think it's great we have an opportunity to recognize Dick and the Anagnost family for their contributions to the town."
Councilor Jim Scanlon said the family has been very supportive of the town, and is deserving of the honor.
"The Anagnost company has made substantial and numerous contributions to the building, expansion and development of Bedford," he said. "It's nice to know their family name will be on a plaque at the BVC to recognize all those contributions, including the skating pond."
Chairman Chris Bandazian agreed and extended his appreciation to the Anagnost family.
"It's a terrific new landmark for the center of town," Bandazian said.
Naming the skating pond is the second recommendation from the Bedford Village Common Development Committee. The council had also agreed to name the Market Basket Bandstand in recognition of the supermarket chain's $25,000 donation to the park.
The Bedford Village Common also features a veterans memorial, gardens, park benches, walking paths, a pergola and birdhouses. A warming hut at the skating pond, which will resemble the old Bedford train depot, is also planned.
The park has been made possible through many donations of goods and services, and the financial support of Bedford residents, local businesses and the town. Girl Scout Troop 21981 in Bedford recently planted an American liberty elm tree in the park as part of the girls' service project. The Bedford Village Common's grand opening took place June 9.
In addition to donations, a buy-a-brick campaign is ongoing for people who want to purchase an engraved brick or granite paver. Bricks are available at $100 each or $150 for two; granite pavers cost $300 each. Donor forms are available on the towns website, www.bedfordnh.org. Click on the Bedford Village Common Development Committee link under Boards & Committees. Forms are also available at town offices at 24 N. Amherst Road.
The current members of the Bedford Village Common Development Committee include Beverly Thomas, chairman; Jeanene Procopis, vice-chairman; Deb Sklar; Richard Poisson; Town Council representatives Mac McMahan and Bill Dermody; and Dennis Tokac of the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Dick Anagnost is president of Anagnost Investments Inc. nd has more than 30 years of experience in real estate and land development in Manchester, Northern New England and internationally. His company's projects have included the revitalization of downtown Elm Street and the millyard area, and construction of The Elliot at River's Edge, a $100 million project to build an ambulatory care and urgent care center in Manchester.
He is a long-time member of of the Workforce Opportunity Council, the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority, the JobCorps Task Force, board member of Families in Transition, the Moore Center Services, and director of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral. He is also a youth football coach for the Bedford Jaguars and CYO basketball coach for St. George. Anagnost was also instrumental in the World War II monument project in Veterans Park.
Dick and his wife, Demetria, live in Bedford. The couple has three sons, Alexander, Stavros and Demetri.

Friends of the Madison Education Endowment Fund
In 1991 the Board of Education created the Endowment Fund to provide an additional resource for the promotion of special programs and activities to maintain a top-notch educational experience for all Madison students.
Three years ago a number of Madisonians came together to form the "Friends." Our purpose is to raise monies to be contributed to the Endowment Fund. Like many other communities throughout the state and the country, we are concerned that budget cuts may result in the elimination of valuable enrichment activities for our students.
Some of the enrichment activities paid for through the Endowment fund include:
A visiting poet and an author for elementary school students schools.
A science lab for Junior School students.
A civil rights speaker at the High School.
Some highlights for 1998/99 include:
An ongoing membership drive.
A Winter concert
The continuing sale of the collectible Madison Heritage Poster.
The "Friends" would like to invite you to join in this endeavor. We are sure that you agree with us about the important contribution our school system makes to the vitality of the Madison community.
Join us for our lively fourth year. Become an active "Friend" and "Help Madison Students To Soar Higher."

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Most Asian markets ended lower Thursday amid some gloom over earnings reports from Apple Inc. and Hyundai Motor Co., although Japanese shares found fresh impetus from a weaker yen.
South Korea's Kospi SEU, -0.13% and China's Shanghai Composite Index 000001, -0.89% lost 0.8% each, Taiwan's Taiex Y9999, -0.07% declined 0.6% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.77% slipped 0.2%.
On the upside, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -1.11% rose 1.3%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, -0.57% gained 0.5%, completing a seven-day winning streak to end at its highest level since May 2011.
Most Asia markets are trading around multi-year highs and, according to Perpetual Investments investment strategy chief Matthew Sherwood, were "probably due for a bout of profit-taking before too long."
Can China spawn the next electronics giant?
China is pushing to consolidate its electronics industry in a bid to create the next tech giant.
"The rise in global stock prices is getting thinner and showing signs of fatigue and being over-bought," he said.
Some investors took their cues from a sharp fall in shares of investor favorite Apple AAPL, -0.46% in U.S. after-hours trade Wednesday. The firm posted almost flat fiscal first-quarter earnings, weaker-than-expected revenue and a disappointing forecast. Read: Apple shares tumble on results, forecast.
"With Apple's worse-than-expected results, it would not be surprising if we see some consolidation in risk appetite today," said Crédit Agricole strategist Gary Yau.
Some Asia-based companies in Apple's supply chain felt the heat from the results.
In Taipei, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. 2317, -0.68% HNHPF, +1.42% which assembles iPhones, fell 2.9%; South Korean Apple supplier LG Display Co. 034220, -0.65% LPL, -0.60% dropped 1.2% in Seoul, while Apple handset rival Samsung Electronics Co. 005930, -0.63% SSNLF, +14.29% which has also supplies some components for Apple products, lost 1.4%.
China data strong
Meanwhile, a preliminary survey from HSBC out Thursday showed that business conditions for Chinese manufacturers improved to a 24-month high this month.
The results represented the fifth straight month of improvement for the data series, "heralding a good start to the new year," said chief China economist Hongbin Qu. "Despite the still-tepid external demand, the domestic-driven restocking process is likely to add steam to China's ongoing recovery in the coming months," he added.

|I used this for making a kegerator out of a refridgerator in my garage and it worked great. It was a good deal for the price. It doesn't leak at all. I ordered two and the packaging was substandard so the black plastic washer was damaged on both shipments. It's still a good deal for the money.
