Together with the formidable de- fenses erected by the Germans around St. Quentin, Gen.

The British troops have clung ten- aciously to their new defenses, the weary and weakened Germans keep desperately hammering at them. The engagements reported along the remainder of the front have been of little consequence. The Post Near Epehy. London, Sept. British have captured a German strong- point north- easr of Epehy, which had resisted for several days, according to Field Mar- shal Haig's report from headquarters tonight. British forces last night attacked the German lines between St. Quentin and Cambrai, opposite Le Catelet, making progress in the vicinity of Tombois farm and capturing a group of trenches and strong- points on the ridge northwest of Vendhuile, Field Marshal Haig announced in his offi- cial statement today. Another enemy strong point near the Ronsscy-Bony road, just to the south, also was taken by the British. A successful local attack "was carried out south of Villers-Guislaln. Counter-Attack Repulsed. German troops late yesterday coun- ter attacked in the vicinity of Gille- mont farm on the front between Cam- brai and St. Quentin, to the west of Le Gatelet. Field Marshal Haig's statement today announces the re- pulse of the enemy, with heavy losses. The northwest of St. Quentin the Germans penetrated the British line at one point at Berthaucourt during an attack. The position was rees- tablished by a counter attack. On the front between Arras and Lens there was a continuation of the advance movement in the neighbor- hood of Cavrelle. Southwest of that village Englishtroops made progress on a front of three-quarters of a mile. Paris, Sept. troops yes- terday and last night made notable progress in their drive for the encir- clement of St. Quentin. They pushed in far-on the south and captured the village and fort of Vendeuil, close to the Oise, 9 miles southeast og St. Quentin, today's war office announce- ment shows. From Vendeuil the French pushed on to the river. North of Ly Fontaine they penetrated the wood in the di- rection of Minacourt. Admit British Gains. Berlin (via Sept. 23.

A slight, advance of the German lines west of the Moselle is claimed. (This is the American front southwest of Metz.) The repulse of strong detachments, which advanced against Haumont and elsewhere in reconnoitering opera- tions in this sector likewise is an- nounced. Reichstag Committee to Sit For a Week; Speech By Hintze it Expected Amsterdam, Sept. is likely that the main committee of the Ger- man reichstag, which meets tomor- row, will sit for a -week. It is uncertain, says the Tageblatt of Berlin, whether Chancellor von Hertling will make a speech, but it is certain that Foreeign Minister Hintze will do so. London, Sept. re- ports of a German political crisis arising from the supposed movement for parliamentarization of the gov- ernment are printed at greater or less length in the papers here and the sit- uation is watched with mild interest for any possibilities it may contain, the whole thing is mostly regarded as merely an integral part of the Ger- man "peace offensive." It is recalled that since the war borke out the reassembling of t reichstag frequently has been pre- ceded by an outbreak of excited talk in German political circles. The newspapers generally ignore reports editorially but the view -wide- ly taken is expressed by the Graphic which describes the discussion now filling German newspapers as a "strat- egem to lure the allies into making peace by depicting Germany as a de- mocracy." The inwardness of the move, the newspaper adds, is that Mathias Erz- berger hopes with the help of Philipp Scheidemann, the socialist leader, and his followers, to out imperial Chan- cellor von Hertling and secure the center of stage as peacemaker for Germany. "Allied democracies are led to be- lieve it will be quite safe to negotiate with a Germany parliamentary gov- the Graphic says. "The whole movement is clearly preparing the way for a resuscitation of the no- torious reichstag resolution in re- vised edition in the hope that the allies have forgotten how completely that shaw has been exposed." TURKS TAKEN None of Force of Likely to Escape Capture. TWO ARMIES WIPED OUT British Hold All Their Transport, While Seizure of All the Passages of the Jordan Cuts Off Escape of Remaining Troops Captured Guns Total 20O. (By the Associated Press.) London, Sept. thou- sand Turkish prisoners and 260 guns had been counted up to yesterday evening by Gen. Allenby's forces push- ing- north-ward through Palestine, ac- cording- to an official statement Issued today by the war office. The war office announcement says that the Seventh and Eighth Turkish armies have virtually ceased to exist. The entire transport of these two armies was captured by the British. Seizures by the British of the cross- ings of the Jordan at Jisr-ed-Dameer .on Sunday morning shut the last ave- nue of escape to the Turks west of the Jordan. The reports from the Palestine front this afternoon indicate that none of the Turkish forces of at least men trapped by the British through the seizure of the last of the passages of the Jordan can possibly get away. Entire Force Rounded Up. Virtually the entire Turkish force is or be accounted for in killed, wounded and prisoners. Hundreds of stragglers are being- found -wandering about in the mountainous country aimlessly, -without a leader or a pur- pose. The Turks had seven_divisions south of Nazareth and west" of the Jordan, but the exact number cannot be deter- mined owing to the weakness of some of the Turkish divisions, the to- tals different units varying. The total of prisoners reported, however, believed to be far less than the final count will show, as at last reports prisoners were still be- ing brought in. The clean-up effected by Gen. Alien- by, which is pointed to here as the quickest and most complete of the en- tente war, is counted as having defi- nitely deprived tho Turks of Palestine. In addition, besides the personnel of their army, the defeat has cost them an itnmense amount of war material. So far as is known the Turks on this front only had four airplanes and these four have been captured. Last Door Is Closed. The text of Gen. Allenty's statement reads: "Having seized the passages of the Jordan at Jisr-ed-Dameer cm the mofhing of September 22 the last ave- nue of escape open to the enemy west of the river -was closed by our troops. "The seventh and eighth Turkish armies have virtually ceased to exist. Their entire transport is in our hands. "By 8 p. m. on the 22d pris- oners and 260 guns had been counted. Many prisoners and much material remain to be enumerated." ITALIAN FRONT GROWING ACTIVE Rome, Sept. artillery fighting along the Plave and scattered bombardments elsewhere on the Ital- ian front was reported by the war office today. French troops penetrated deeply into the'Austrian lines east of Slsernol yesterday morning, destroy- ing enemy defensive systems, inflict- ing heavy losses in hand-to-hand fighting and bringing back more than 100 prisoners. British patrols brought back pris- oners in raids north of Asiago. An enemy outpost was driven back in the Ledro valley. Two bostito SUV TERROR Fresh Attempts to Kill Soviet Leaders Reported.

No Answer to Lansing. The State Department has had no answer to the message sent last Sat- urday to the allied and neutral na- tions In an effort to bring a universal standing against the terrorism of the bolBhevikl in Russia. Secretary Lans- ing said yesterday that action may result from the sending of the note without any direct response inasmuch as some of the neutral nations, at least, have representatives in Moscow and Petrograd and through them may bring pressure to bear upon the bolshevik leaders to put an end to the reign of terror. It was noted in offi- cial circles that the message did not mention the bolshevik! by name. Vouches for Sisson Documents} It became known yesterday that the State Department for eight months prior to their publication had full knowledge of the documentary evi- dence of German control of the bolsheviki recently made public through the committee on public in- formation. Secretary Lansing made it plain that from the fact that the department had not made the docu- ments public it not to be inferred that there was any doubt as to their authenticity.

QUEEN MOTHER INTERVENES Germany Agrees to Spare Graft En- gaged in Spanish Trade. Present Fails to Compensate for Loss of SO Per Cent of Alfonso's Mercantile Marine Impossible for U-Boats to Keep Promise to Respect of Nation Involved. By FIliSON YOUNG. (Special Cable From the London Times to The Washington Post.) (Copyright, 1918, by the Public Ledger Co.) London, Sept. 23 (By messenger fjrom San Sebastian, Sept. more the Spanish government has found an apparent way out of its in- ternational difficulties by following the path of compromise apparently the contradictory messages in regard to the results of negotiations with Germany, which have reached you in the course of the last three weeks, truthfully reflected the course of the deliberations, influenced by German bluff on the one hand and by Spanish dislike to facing an unpleasant sit- uation on the other. The first reply to the Spanish note took the form of an expression of willingness to discuss it in a friendly spirit. The second was a refusal to accept the seizure of German tonnage as compensation for Spanish ships torpedoed. The third and last stage was reached at a meeting of the coun- cil held yesterday. I understand that on the personal intervention of the Queen mother, whose influence in Ger- man circles is considerable, the Ger- mans offered to hand over seven of their interned ships and also respect the Spanish flag on the sea, provided it is flown by ships exclusively en- gaged in Spanish trade. lakes Edge Off Spain's Note. This is a very different thing from the intention so firmly expressed in the Spanish note. Making a present of seven ships is quite another mat- ter from having the ships seized In proportion to the losses suffered. Moreover the undertaking: to respect the Spanish flag is most perfectly In- sincere. "What German submarine dare approach a craft flying: the Spanish flag, when, if the ship proved to be carrying cargo for an English of-French port, she would im- mediately open fire on the submarine in order to save herself from being sunk when the submarine discovered her destination? How the number seven was arrived at, seeing nearly 30 per cent of the Spanish mercantile marine has al- ready been destroyed, it would be hard to discover. The whole pro- posal is framed in the interests of Germany, who in this case, it would appear has enlisted the queen mother in a course of negotiations, which, however well and patrioti- cally intended on her part, an no one will accuse her of being urged by any but the highest motives, cannot in the long run but be disastrous to Spanish interests. King Understands Situation. It is impossible to believe that King Alfonso has been overruled by his political advisers for he at any rate must be aware that Spain's fu- ture prestige and place among the nations depend on her capacity to take a bold clear line of action even at the eleventh hour. With almost certain knowledge on the one hand that the definite carry- ing out of the terms of their note would involve them in trouble with with trouble in Morocco, possibly consequent to a revolution in Spa-n, and faced on the other hand with a purely negative attitude on the part of the allies, what is the Spanish government to do? Remem- bering the determination to keep out of the war at all costs is the one thing on which Spanish opinion is solidly united, what can they do but make their protest to Germany, trust- ing the allies to back them and, fail- ing that backing, to take refuge in such indignity as they can or what- ever compromise Germany is willing to concede. BRITISH FLIERS BOMB AT METZ Governor Visits Region to Inspect Damage By American Guns. LoVidon, Sept. of the British independent air force dropped nearly 16 tons of bombs on German air dromes and on blast furnaces In the Metz region on Saturday night, it was officially announced today.

(Copyright. 1818, by the Public ledger Co.) Stockholm, Saturday, Sept. Petrograd telegram of Friday states that the entry of Turkish troops into Baku is, in government circles, con- sidered a. flagrant breach, of the Brest-Litovsk treaty. The message states that according to the testi- mony of eyewitnesses who have ar rived from Baku, the town was de- fended for two days in a desperate struggle by the inhabitants, prin- cipally the working classes, who finally succumbed before the superior numbers of the Invading forces which included Turks and Kurds.

ANTHRACITE MAY GO HIGHER Prices Now Range from to But Advance in Miners' Wages Will be Reflected in Charge to in Population Adds to Problem. Local dealers are encouraging in their opinions concerning the coal sit- uation in "Washington and the ap- proaching winter. More fuel is safely stored in District cellars than ever in the history of the city. A wholesaler who distributes close to 20 per cent of the anthracite used here. Bays that 40 per cent more coal has passed through his yards than he had handled at this time last year. He is of the belief that there Is three times more fuel in "Washington cel- lars now than ever before at this time of the year. It is true that "Washington is pay- Ing more for coal than it did last year, but the dealers say that criti- cism because of this should not be directed at them, if at anybody, for they are selling at prices fixed by the government on margins of profit strictly regulated by the same au- thority. for Cheapest Anthracite. The cheapest grade of anthracite, and the great percentage of small home furnaces use that kind of coal, now costs Washingtonians about ?10 with the price running up to over Jll for the various grades. There is no basic price that can be. readily quoted and the selling figures of the dealers vary. This is largely due to the differential allowed by the gov- ernment between the product of the so-called old-line companies and the independents. The independents are permitted a price differential in their favor of 75 cents a ton. One dealer may han- dle only the coal of the old-line com- panies, although only one of these companies is now shipping into Washington in any large amount. The prices of this dealer will be 75 cents a ton more than those of his neighbor, who handles the coal of the independent companies exclusively. Prices May Go Higher. Other dealers handling both kinds of coal must average their prices in between the two extremes, depend- ing upon the amounts of each kind. Although the price is high now, it may be higher. Anthracite mineri are demanding increased wages. If this demand is granted it must, of course, be met by the consumer. There has been a 90-cent jump in price with- in the past two months. Sixty cents of this was due to an increase of that amount In freight rates. Thirty cents of the raise was merely putting hack into effect the summer reduction of that amount, which was handled this year in a different man- ner than heretofore. In previous years, at the beginning of the coal year, April 1, a 50-cent reduction was made, which was taken up 10 cents a month during the following five months, the object of the reduction being a bid to the consumer to get his coal In during the summer months when the coal establishments would otherwise have been idle. Heavy Summer Deliveries. This year there was no occasion to offer this inducement, as every one who could get coal was ordering it. The cost of delivery and unloading, however, is much cheaper during the summer months, and for this reason, in fairness to all consumers, there was given a flat reduction of 30 cents a ton for the five months, instead of the sliding summer scale. In former years two-thirds of "Washington's coal supply was handled during the five months of the year least suited for delivery and only one- third during the spring and summer months, when delivery was convenient and much less expensive. Conditions are working toward the reverse of that condition, "which, coal men say, is greatly to be desired. Although there is a larger amount of fuel in Washington cellars than ever before, it does not mean that the city is entirely free of the danger of a coal shortage. Many More Cellars to Fill. It must be remembered, say the dealers, that there are many more cel- lars in Washington to be filled than ever before, and that many of the old houses put back on the market and opened for habitation will require more than the ordinary amount of coal for heating. The effort of the fuel administration to reduce con- sumption to two-thirds will help in this regard. Then, too, there is to be considered the nature of the winter. That of last year was exceptionally -severe. Whether this condition will repeat itself is another factor in the equa- tion, which makes prediction unsafe. On the whole, say the coal men, the situation is in splendid shapr They were flooded vXth c i1- .summer, due to the warnings of 'uel ad- ministration. Naturally these orders could not all be filled at once and many people became frightened at the although nothing could been expected la DRUFUOTTERY Details Perfected for Drawing Next Thursday or Friday. ASK WILSON TO PICK FIRST States Instructed to Wire of Serial Numbers Being Assigned. Order of Liability in Each Class Will Be Established, But Men in Class 1-A, Between Ages of 19 to 36, Will Be in Earlier in This Group Expected to Be in Military Service Early in October. By ALBERT W. VOX. (Copyright, 1918. by Washington Tost Co.) There is a strong probability that the 'great national draft lottery to determine the order of liability to military service of the men who registered on September 12 will be held before the end of this perhaps as early as Thursday or Fri- day. Provost Marshal General Crowder has sent out circular telegrams to all of the States to wire as soon as pos- sible reports showing that all of the draft boards have assigned serial numbers to the registrants. AH but eight States have reported on the total registrations. Complete sets of serial numbers in fact already have been received from all but a few of the States. If full returns are in by tonight the drawing may be an- nounced for Thursday. The drawing is to be held in the largest hearing room of the Senate office building. Ask "Wilson to Start Drawing. It has been suggested that Presi- dent Wilson draw the first number, but whether he will find time to offi- ciate is not yet known. If not, Act- ing Secretary of War Crowell will draw the first number. Large blackboards, each with space for holding 500 numbers, have been erected in the room.

It is, of course, important that all the serial numbers be assigned by the local boards throughout the States be- fore the national lottery can be held. Otherwise it would be theoretically possible for a local board to change the serial numbers after the drawing and put certain individuals far down the list of liability. Questionnaires in Mails. There is, of course, no suggestion that any such thing would happen, it is explained, but the system of opera- tion must not even admit of this pos- sibility.

It is expected that approximately 300.000 of the 19 to 3.6 inclusive clam can be assigned to the military serv- ce during the coming month. This is adjudged necessary to keep up a steady flow of recruits to the camps. This means selecting of A1 men after the classification. The necessity of maintaining a steady flow to the camps la linked with the general program of the War' Department to have men tm France by next June, in anticipation of the decisive blow which Gen.

Camped with our 4-yr old granddaughter. Got a nice site near the farm animals. Staff assisting us were great! We enjoyed the pool, hay ride, everything about the place! DTV and ATT card worked. When we asked our granddaughter if she liked this campground or the other one we visited last week she said THIS ONE! We will be back. - lstaff

Love the trees and privacy. Sites are mostly level but some have big tree roots to contend with. Not really a problem. There are some sites that are in a grassy field if you prefer. Staff was friendly and cordial. Pool is clean and refreshing. Laundry room could use some upgrades.
Overall, a family friendly campground. - Dusty Jeep
Aug 2015 - $30.00
I agree 100% with RV Bell's review. This is one of the nicest campgrounds we have EVER stayed at. Been here a week and we hate to leave. Site needed leveling but who can complain when we had full hook-ups, large beautiful site with fire pit and picnic table.
Tractor ride is just fun! Pool was filled with kids everyday. Small commercial Maytag washers$1.25 and dryers .75. Laundry room very clean as well as the restrooms. This is a family run business (they also own Olympia Campground) and the people are exceptionally nice and helpful! This is a must stay during good weather.
We stayed in a 35ft 5th wheel. Price reflects 7th night free averages. Otherwise, cost is $35 a night. - Travelin 5th Wheel

This resort is not a public rv resort all the lots are owned by individual lot owners who can rent out their spots on a longer term basis. This resort is in great condition after going thru several developers. Great pool and the lake is nice with docks and watercraft rental. Lots of playgrounds and recreation for kids. Very friendly staff . Has a national forest appeal with all paved roads. Very close to Seattle -Tacoma area. I found spots for rent on Craigslist and Rv Park store websites. Many spots have covered ports for parking under. Only negative was lots of one way roads. My rate was based on monthly. - KLH

The site for AOR members were two linked sites, I doubt that I could have gotten out if another rig pulled in. The main problem was the noise, trains ran all night, you would have sworn that they were coming through the middle of your campsite. There appear to be only 16 sites for non-owners. The loop is not made for anything much over 32' looking at the trees on some of the tight corners you could see where there had been collisions. We crossed this campground off our list. This is one lake that should remain lost. - mamestra

Membership park - they were down right rude to those using C2C, RPI, or AOR to camp. Regulated to a small area, not allowed to use most of the facilities as those are for members who BUY their spots. Railroad train is not only LOUD, but runs by every 1/2 hour. Stayed 3 days and could not take it any longer and left ahead of time. - PugetSound

I had to get some advice from the hosts regarding the "PB" code at my site (sites are priced differently, depending upon popularity and other factors). Campground is in a pretty area, surrounded by forest. - hikinghack
Sep 2014 - $44.00
Rate includes on-line reservation fee. There are plenty of big trees making the access road is a little tight for big rigs, but it is passable with care. Spaces 203 through 211 are under big trees making satellite reception difficult. Spaces 212 through 238 are mostly in a clear open area. Spaces are gravel. Spaces closer together than we have experienced in state parks in other states. AT&T signal adequate for voice calls. The park is served by two cell sites – one LTE and the other 4G. If you can link up to the LTE site, data works great. - Tetrode
Oct 2013 - $14.00
Price reflects limited income senior pass. An old CCC park but still nice. As the weather was gloomy and cold, I chose to stay in the hookup area, which is like a parking lot, with paved, level sites with water and electric but no privacy. There is grass between the sites and picnic tables. The woodsy sites were more attractive-looking but perhaps not very level. Great trail system affording a nice, long, but easy hike. Didn't use the restrooms. Would return but would choose to stay in the no-hookup area with more seclusion and scenery. - mockturtle

We made reservations for this park with 50 amp full hook up. When we got there a young man put us in site 5. We did not check before setting up but the electric was only 30 amp. When we went back to the office there was an older man and he said he did not have a 50 amp available. When we said that we had made reservations for 50 amp he became very abusive and told me to get my rig out of his campground. This campground sits just below the freeway and is jam in with maybe a 5 ft space between campers. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy. - possumtrotky

Reviewed this park back in September 2011. Nothing changed. Road noise is still bad. Verizon is 4 bars. We stay here each year because it is convenient to I-5 and the surrounding area. We always get "B" because it has 50 amp with full hookups. Staying here for a week this time. We will return. - Bluebird Bob
Sep 2011 - $25.00
We are staying here for a week. It is right by Hwy 5 and you sure can hear the traffic! The location is great for an off the road overnight stop. It is mainly filled with long term people but they do have some empties for overnights. The water pressure is around 50 psi without having to use a reducer. Most sites have 30 amp but we are in "B" with 50 amp service. Not much to choose from in the area so an OK spot for a few days. Would stay here again if passing through. - Bluebird Bob

We have stayed a couple times a year for the past 3-4 years. We like the woodsy feel to the park. It is close to the freeway but you really don't hear it. Convenient to Olympia and handy for a night to two. Years ago we stayed in the full hookup area and found it to be too close to fellow campers. We now choose partial hookup sites. Store is well stocked, workers are friendly. I'd give a higher rating if they would reopen the bathroom/shower facility in the back half. A couple of portable toilets serve the area in the summer. A nice facility is attached to the store, but its quite a distance away from the tent and partial hookup sites. - flaymingyon
Jul 2014 - $35.00
This campground has a lot of potential, unfortunately there are too many people just living in the park. These renters have their things stacked up, which detracts from other sites. The spaces are so close together your slide out will actually touch your neighbor. While the sites are unpaved and level, they are not big rig friendly. There is a pool, but no TV reception. The Wi-Fi does not work as advertised. We stayed in a 39' RV and will not be back. - lovepu1987
Jul 2014 - $33.00
Not a good park for RV's. Had to share patio. Sites are too crowded. Not a good experience for us anfd glad we only stayed 2 nights. Probably a good park for tent camping in the back of the park. Very pretty grounds. - Traveler 09

Nice park like setting along the river and off the highway but frequent trains pass nearby. Staff was friendly at check in. Some permanent residents but doesn't have too much of a trailer park ambiance. - Thedogsma

Nice clean campground with a brand new restroom-shower-laundry facility. Tent sites on the river. Awesome Salmon fishing included. Friendly staff w/security checks. Under new management. Would definitely go back! - Fifa Camper
Jun 2011 - $27.00
Huge number of permanent and semi permanent sites. 10 pull thru sites for overnight, 10+ more back-ins. Water and 50 amps at our site, cable TV listed, but not available at our site. Dump station nearby. Some paved interior roads, some gravel. Gravel sites, grass in between. $10 additional pet charge, $6 additional guest vehicle. Lots of rules, seem to be not enforced for the permanent residents. There is a one-way tunnel prior to the entrance; it has a 14' clearance. It was convenient for our purpose, but I would not stay here again. - renodick

This park is totally gravel with no trees except along one side to block the park from the neighborhood. On the other side is a modular home neighborhood. Sterile is the word that comes to mind. It was adequate and the price was good, but I would pay a little more someplace else next time. - Lke

SK-II Stempower Cream is developed by the Japanese cosmetic giant's in-house team of scientists to address what the brand calls the loss of "radical firmness"—the fundamental sign of skin aging. An elixir of a cream that promises to turn back the clock by ten years in ten days? You better believe it! The purveyors of the legendary "miracle water" (that would be their Facial Treatment Essence), SK-II has just released the new Stempower suite of products.
The Stempower cream takes its moniker from a proprietary plant-derived ingredient, StemAcanax, which the company says is extracted from the root of the Siberian Ginseng and blended with their famous Pitera to create a lush, easily absorbed moisturizer that aims to achieve "a ten degree improvement equivalent to improving ten years of visible firmness" in just ten days.
Apply the product with a cotton pad.Gently pat it to your skin and massage. It helps tighten your skin.
mature skin / all skin type
HOLY GRAIL. That's how I would describe this product because it literally save my skin, turning it around 360 degrees completely. After using it for months now I can look back and feel happy that I invested in this. I used this in conjunction with the FTE and Stempower Essence and my skin feel like a baby's bottom. I use this cream at night only and it like heaven to me. I love that fact that it brought my skin back to life; it made my skin stronger, firmer and I'm beyond amazed by SK-II.

Why not a Fire/Ice type? There's already an Electric/Water type: Rotom-W. There's also 3 Pokemon that are a Ground/Flying type: Gligar, Gliscor, and Landorus. I'm sure there's more "impossible" matchups, but I can't think of any more. XD To me, an Ice/Fire type doesn't seem like such a far leap for Game Freak to make when designing the next generation Pokemon.
Perhaps implement an iceberg into a volcano?
A volcano that erupts with icebergs. Now that's not something you see everyday. I would totally get an Ice Pokemon and, if I could, teach it erupt just for the fun of it. :D

Last year my fiance got into riding and I ended up doing all the maintenance for her. Naturally I took an interest and I bought myself a Specialized Tarmac Comp on sale in January. I started riding it in May and I've absolutely fallen in love with the sport. I've been riding a little over one hundred miles a week, and I'm starting to get used to how silly I look in spandex.
Nice to meet you.

First of all, in order to prepare to have a great 2012, you need to know what numbers you need to hit. This will either be a sales target figure or a revenue/profitability figure.
You also need to work out your average order value (or average profit if you're targeted on profitability figures), and then work out how many orders you need to hit that target.
Don't be one of those people that says "I don't have an average order, my orders are all different!" Simply take your revenue/profit total from last year and divide by number of orders.
The next stage is to look at what your existing customers have spent with you in 2011, and then work out what you think each account will spend in 2012.
For most people, this will involve a certain amount of educated guesswork, however it's still an exercise worth doing as it will help you to understand how much business you think you can get from your existing base next year.
Don't fall into the trap of being overly optimistic (or overly pessimistic) – and if you really have no idea what they will spend, use their 2011 spend figure if you're in a business that gets repeat business from their customers, rather than one-off purchases.
Once you have your existing customer figure, take that from your total revenue/profit needed and move onto the next step.
The figure you're now left with (total revenue/profit, minus existing customer spend) is the figure you'll need to achieve in 2012 from new business.
You've already worked out your average order value, so now it's time to work out your average new client value. In order to get this figure, find out how much each new customer in 2011 spent in total in the year.
The figure should average out – in other words you'll have some clients that spent a lot, and some that spent little – perhaps because they only came on board towards the end of the year for example.
This will now tell you how many new clients you need in 2012 to hit your targets. Again. I'm not expecting these figures to be perfectly correct – you can always adjust them as you go along, but at least it gives you a base to work from.
Now you've got all your overall numbers, it's time to break down those figures in terms of activity. You'll know the critical numbers in your company of course, but the usual ones to look for are the number of sales calls to meetings, meetings to quotes, quotes to orders and so on.
These figures will then enable you work out how much sales activity you'll need to do in order to hit the targets that you've set.
Once you've got these figures, you'll notice you start to feel a little more confident about hitting your targets for 2012. Now it's time for the next step.
The figures you've worked out above are based on purely hitting the targets you've set. The next step is to stretch you a little.
Once you've got all your figures together for the above tips, work out those figures again – but this time for 120 per cent of your target, 150 per cent and 200per cent for example.
This will give you the figures (and the activity) required to hit those new targets.
Then I'd pick one of the stretch targets to aim for (rather than just the 100 per cent of target). Don't worry if it makes you feel a little uncomfortable – that's part of the process!
Now you've worked out how you're going to hit 100 per cent or more of the targets you've set, it is time to break those figures down.
You want to break those yearly figures into quarterly ones, monthly ones, weekly ones and even daily ones! This will enable you to see the revenue/profitability figures you need to be aiming for – and more importantly for the salesperson – the activity you need to be doing on a daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly basis, in order to hit (and exceed) the targets you've set.
If you've done the above steps properly, you'll now start to feel more confident about hitting the targets you've set, as breaking them down usually makes people feel like they're more achievable.
However, depending on your activity levels in 2011, you might have given yourself a bit of a shock, in terms of how much activity you'll need to do in 2012 to hit your new targets. However it's better to know that now that find out halfway through they year when you've got less chance to do anything about it!
This is probably THE biggest tip I can give you to set yourself up for a great 2012.
You see, most salespeople and business owners won't have even taken the time to READ this article, let along do anything about it!
If you're one of the few that not only has read this, but is actually taking the time and effort to work out these numbers in order to give you the edge you need, I congratulate you.
Now it's about keeping that motivation up consistently in 2012, and now you've given yourself a head-start over your competitors, making sure you stay there!
Good luck with your sales in 2012.

Everyone is different. We have different needs, wants, desires, tastes, habits etc. Most relevant to pricing, everyone has a different Willingness To Pay (WTP). We don't force everyone to wear the same clothing style, or eat the same foods, or drive the same cars. Similarly, we don't have to force everyone to pay the same price. We can customise pricing.
Car pricing is customised. Not the sticker price, but the actual price people pay. I just bought a new car and it is very unlikely that I paid the same price as anyone else for the same car at that dealership. I certainly negotiated differently and had a different WTP.
Airline seats are pretty customised. Although a few people on the plane may be paying the same price, not many are. The airlines have figured out great techniques for charging different customers different prices, trying to capture more of each customers' WTP.
Some items, like potato chips, are harder to customise for just a few people, but they do customise for larger groups. They charge different prices for different flavors in different regions of the country. They offer coupons to let the price sensitive pay less.
Pricing is customisable. The first step is thinking of two customers or customer types that have different WTPs. The second step is figuring out how to let people with lower WTP pay less while not letting people with higher WTP have the low price, all while everyone thinks it is fair. That's where the fun comes in.

All too many products or services are seen by the marketplace as being very similar to one another and as a consequence they're treated as commodities.
Most people, for example, consider one motor insurance policy to be much like many others, one brand of petrol or diesel to be much like the others, one Windows computer as much like many others, one accountant, lawyer, banker, IFA, web designer, printer or utility supplier to be much like many others, one hotel much like many others, one airline much like many others and so on.
Even in the best of times nobody wants to pay more than they have to for a product or service. So whenever your customers believe that they can get products or services that are similar to yours from other sources, your product or service becomes a commodity and your prospects and customers will always tend to shop around for the best price. And in today's world of online search tools and web-connected mobile devices anyone can easily compare your prices with others in a matter of seconds, wherever they are.
In a commoditised marketplace whoever charges the best price for a given product or service tends to win. And if you don't want to lose out, you have to be prepared to match prices.
But if you manage to set your product or service apart from all the others out there, you can charge what your product or service is really worth. Differentiation, as in so many things, is the key.
The question then becomes "what will the market bear?"
And in many cases it's a lot.
You can buy an entry-level Lexus car for around £23,000 and they go up to £90,000 for the LS 600, without extras. Then Lexus introduced the LF-A supercar at £330,000. That's around 50 per cent more expensive than the most expensive Ferrari or Lamborghini, and on a par with the most expensive Rolls Royce Phantom.
If you think of a Lexus LF-A as "just" another Lexus, £330,000 seems like a ridiculous price. But that's before you see how it's made; what it can do; the astounding attention to detail; and above all how it does what it does so well. To hear one is to want one. And to drive one is to want one even more. So can it really be worth £330,000? Let's just say that the entire planned production run completely sold out within two weeks. And I'd have one in a heartbeat, given the chance, in preference to any Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche. It is SO astounding that anyone who is truly passionate about cars, and can afford it, will likely part very happily with the value of a suburban house to own a Lexus LF-A.
What about professional services? There are plenty of reports in the press of top lawyers with specialist expertise and high profile clients earning millions of pounds a year. Top PR consultants like Max Clifford make millions looking after clients such as Simon Cowell, Kerry Katona, Freddie Starr and Rebecca Loos. The market will happily pay a fortune for anyone who can demonstrate that they're not a mere commodity like so many others in their field.
Those are great questions. But before you answer them, consider this story about Pablo Picasso.
A woman was strolling along a street in Paris some years ago when she spotted the world famous painter Pablo Picasso sketching at a sidewalk cafe. She plucked up the courage to approach him and asked him if he could do a sketch of her and charge her accordingly.
Picasso obliged, and minutes later she was the owner of an original Picasso.
She then asked what she owed him.
"Five thousand francs" he replied.
"But it only took you three minutes," she politely reminded him.
"No," said Picasso, "It took me my entire life."
The point is, if you're not just seen as another commodity you really don't have to charge by the hour like everyone else does. You can often charge by the years. And if you're good enough, plenty of people will happily pay a premium for your special expertise, because like an original Picasso for FR5,000, it is still represents amazing value.
It's like the man who suffered from a persistently squeaky floor in his house. He finally called in a carpenter who had been recommended to him as a true craftsman.
The craftsman found the squeak, set his toolbox down on the floor and got out a hammer and nail. Then he pounded the nail into the floor with three blows. It took all of 30 seconds. But it fixed the squeak forever.
He wrote out an invoice for £95, which itemised what the invoice was for:
The moral of the story: charge for knowing where.

I was in Shanghai doing a few seminars a while ago. It's a dizzying place. Every time I looked out of my hotel window the building they were putting up had gained another storey in the night, because people were working 24 hours a day.
Ambitions there are limitless — but not many people understand marketing well as yet. What they are especially good at, though, is asking highly relevant and perceptive questions.
One man asked me to explain the relationship between sales and marketing.
This made me think about a problem we come up against time and again. As Thomas Watson Jnr of IBM put it, "Nothing happens in business until something gets sold."
Many of the people we work with who are in sales appreciate that unless they have a full pipeline of leads the business is in trouble.
More to the point, they are in trouble — because they're judged by sales results.
And why are they in trouble? Very often because although they have to produce the results, they don't have the money — the marketing budget. The marketing director has that. And he or she is often more concerned with things like branding and advertising. Lamentable, really.
Results: impasse — and very often bad blood between sales and marketing.
What's the answer? Collaboration.
In far too many firms, sales and marketing — who should be natural partners — are sworn enemies. The sales people see the marketing folk as a bunch of high-falutin' theorists who know nothing about the real world. The marketers regard the sales people as a bunch of unsophisticated oafs. Yet the truth is — as you would know if you ever had to take money off people face to face, that selling is damn hard work.
Get them to talk to each other. Get them to explain each other's problems. Then get each side to come up with solutions — for the other guy's problems. A session which involved doing this would achieve a lot more than some of the stuff that passes for training in business.

Forget you and forget your standard sales presentation.
Let me explain. All of us have our own unique way of perceiving the world. This map has been created from the moment you were born to this very day; all your experiences have gone into the pot and created your map. Nobody else will have had your experiences in exactly the same way. They will have had their own experiences and will perceive the world in their very unique way.
So what does this mean to you and importantly how can you use this to increase your sales?
It's really important to get into the map of your potential client, really understand them, their problems and desired objectives. Only then can you deliver an offering that is irresistible and create the desire to buy from you.
Why is it then that so many people pitch their offering before finding what the buyers "map" is?
This causes so many challenges when it comes to sales:
It's so much more effective, and actually easier, not to start with your pitch. Start by asking well-crafted open questions — any that start with who, what, when, where or how. Avoid "why" questions as they can seem confrontational. Find out what's going on in their world, from their perspective. Do they want to solve a problem or do they need something to move them forward.
Forget what you think they need until you've got every last scrap of information from them. Then you can tailor your pitch exactly to their needs, using their words, values and beliefs.
It's also crucial to use "you" language. This is so much more engaging and shows that you are really in their space — their map! Whenever you use "we", "I" or your company name, you are in your own map and focusing on yourself, your offering or your company.
The benefits are enormous:
One more thing — give your buyers lots of time to answer, really listen and pause when you think they have stopped. It's often in these pauses that you'll get the golden nuggets of information that make all the difference!
Leigh Ashton is the author of iSell and is a speaker, trainer and coach.
The sales team and the marketing department: often at loggerheads, always playing the blame game and usually situated at different ends of the office. Why?
The benefits of these two vital cogs working together are numerous and far reaching. Here are our four top tips on how to improve those inter-departmental relationships:
Before implementing any marketing initiatives, speak to the sales team. Get input and feedback from the people who speak to the customers on a daily basis and work together to generate campaign ideas. The sales team has the knowledge and awareness of what is likely to work and how your customers will respond.
Invite members of your marketing team along to your client meetings. There is no better way to learn the motivations of your customers, their needs and how to win business than in face-to-face situations. This information will prove invaluable in the development of successful direct marketing campaigns, identification of new markets and product development.
Incentivise the members of your sales team. We all know sales team motivations lie in their wallets (most of the time) so use this fact to promote a closer working relationship. Bespoke incentive schemes can be used to ensure all leads are followed up, CRM systems are regularly updated and team morale is kept at an all time high.
Information is power, and the sharing of information is vital. If when communicating to your clients, the marketing team is saying one thing and sales another, it makes you all look stupid. Make sure you are giving the customer the best impression you can of your company by all singing off the same hymn sheet.
Getting your sales and marketing teams to work together will reap rewards for the success of your campaigns. Both camps have precious information about your customers and target market which when used together will ensure that your marketing efforts pack a powerful punch.

text: Harvest Desk Families In Rural America Brace For Food Stamps Cuts By Peter Gray • Nov 25, 2013 Peter Gray/WUIS As farm bill negotiations continue in Washington, D.C., it's fairly certain that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, will be cut. One proposal would trim the food stamp program by $4 billion over the next decade; the other would cut roughly ten times that much. That's after the Obama Administration's recession-era boost to SNAP expired November 1st, leaving the average family with about $30 less to spend each month. Farm Bill Talks Fall Through By Jeremy Bernfeld • Nov 22, 2013 flickr/andrewmalone Though farm bill talks heated up this week in Washington, key legislators emerged from negotiations Thursday disappointed and predicted there would be no progress until after Congress returns in December from its recess. Joel Salatin: Local Food Evangelist By Luke Runyon • Nov 19, 2013 Creative Commons Joel Salatin is one of the rock stars of the local food movement. He's written books, appeared in documentaries and scheduled speaking engagements nationwide. Among foodies, he's a celebrity. He's also a vocal critic of industrialized agriculture. Salatin criticizes the use of pesticides, herbicides, genetic modification in crops, and hormones and antibiotics in livestock. Illinois Pumpkins On Thanksgiving Tables By Peter Gray • Nov 13, 2013 Peter Gray/WUIS This Thanksgiving, hungry families all over the country will finish off their holiday meal with a little slice of the Midwest. That's because the vast majority of all pumpkin that comes from a can and winds up in a pie got its start on a vine in Illinois. Pumpkin patches are popular destinations for families seeking fall fun, and you'll find roadside farm stands all over the country. But this is big business in Illinois, where farmers feed canning factories hungry for a special kind of pumpkin that looks nothing like those you see on Halloween. Higher Beef Prices: Good For Producers; May Be Tough On Consumers By Amy Mayer • Nov 11, 2013 Amy Mayer/Harvest Public Media Once again, the prognosticators are saying beef prices are on the rise. We've seen this before—last year, the drought and high feed prices were being blamed. Report: Rural Illinois Continues Losing Jobs, Population By Peter Gray • Nov 11, 2013 USDA Data collected between 2010 and 2012 indicate Illinois' nonmetro areas had the second highest losses of jobs in the nation. The state of Arizona also saw a 1.8 percent decline in rural employment over the past two years, while losses were especially large in Arkansas - down 4.1 percent. Harvest Blog: Changing Illinois, Hungry World By Peter Gray • Nov 8, 2013 Cheryl Gray I come to Harvest Public Media as a reporter standing at the intersection of rural and urban life. It is a fascinating place to be in the young 21st century. Growing up in Oswego, Ill., I watched my backyard turn from cornfield to the carefully trimmed suburban lawns of Chicagoland's residential expansion. The land my Norwegian immigrant great-grandparents tilled in the 1900s is likely a restaurant, big box retail store or strip mall today. Noel, Mo.: Schools Build Safety Net For Immigrant Children By Abbie Fentress Swanson • Nov 5, 2013 Abbie Fentress Swanson/Harvest Public Media Noel, MO - It's almost 9 a.m., and Noel Primary School teacher Erin McPherson is helping a group of Spanish-speaking students complete English language exercises. But it's tough going. One student in a bright blue T-shirt – 9-year-old Isac Martinez – has not yet picked up his pencil. He's clearly sick. When McPherson asks him what's wrong, Isac's small voice is barely audible in between coughs. He says he threw up four times last night but did not go to a doctor. Rural Neighbors Split On Wind Energy Lines By Durrie Bouscaren • Nov 1, 2013 Durrie Bouscaren/Harvest Public Media The rolling plains of Midwest farm country are being tapped for their natural resources again. This time, though, the bounty would be wind energy, instead of corn, wheat or soybeans. Houston-based utility company Clean Line Energy Partners wants to produce a massive amount of wind energy on the plains. To do that, the company plans to build five large-scale high voltage transmission lines that would criss-cross the country, three of which would bring energy from Midwestern windmills to the energy grid to the east. Income Up - Revenue Down At ADM By Associated Press • Oct 29, 2013 ADM Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. said today that its third-quarter earnings more than doubled partly on increased profit margins on ethanol. But the Decatur-based company says its results fell short of last year when adjusted to exclude an inventory credit. Revenue fell 2 percent but beat analysts' forecasts. Net income was $476 million, or 72 cents per share, up from $182 million, or 28 cents per share, a year earlier. Food Stamp Cut "Will Affect Our Population Big Time" By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 28, 2013 Darrell Hoemann/ Midwest Center For Investigative Reporting Food pantries and homeless shelters say they're beginning to notice repercussions of a reduction in food stamps that will take effect Fri., Nov. 1. A temporary hike in benefits that kicked as a result of the recession expires this week. Individuals enrolled in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, could see their benefits cut by $11 a month. A family of four could see a decrease of $36. UPDATE: Sharing Sunshine State Citrus With Illinois Families In Need By Peter Gray • Oct 24, 2013 UPDATE (Nov. 8) The following is from the Central Illinois Foodbank: The Springfield Rotary Club is working toward a goal of 2,000 pounds of citrus to be donated to Central Illinois Foodbank. The club currently is about half way to their goal and hopes the community will help them double their current total. Expected Bumper Crop Has Corn Prices Dropping By Amy Mayer • Oct 23, 2013 Amy Mayer/Harvest Public Media On a clear fall day in central Iowa, Aaron Lehman climbed into the cab of his green combine with a screwdriver to do some maintenance. He was hoping his corn had a couple more weeks to grow before harvesting because the price per bushel this fall is much lower than it has been for the past three years. Corn farmers have been riding high prices for the last few years. But an expected bumper crop has prices falling this harvest season, and many economists expect the price of corn to drop to its lowest level in recent years. The Long, Slow Decline Of The U.S. Sheep Industry By Luke Runyon • Oct 17, 2013 Luke Runyon/Harvest Public Media Over the last 20 years, the number of sheep in this country has been cut in half. In fact, the number has been declining since the late 1940's, when the American sheep industry hit its peak. Today, the domestic sheep herd is one-tenth the size it was during World War II. The decline is the result of economic and cultural factors coming together. And it has left ranchers to wonder, "When are we going to hit the bottom?" Shipping Containers Can Open Export Market To Farmers By Bill Wheelhouse • Oct 15, 2013 Bill Wheelhouse/Harvest Public Media A huge new rail yard has been buzzing on the outskirts of Decatur, Ill. Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) recently opened the 275-acre facility that would be at home at any major port city on the coast. But it's in the heart of Illinois farm country because farmers have been taking advantage of a new method of shipping out their products. Government Shutdown Slows USDA By Robert Holly/Midwest Center For Investigative Reporting • Oct 3, 2013 brittreints/flickr The U.S. Department of Agriculture was forced to send home tens of thousands of employees because of Tuesday's government shutdown. As a result, the agriculture department and its nearly two dozen agencies are operating at limited capacity – or not at all. But even though important agencies such as the Farm Service Agency and the Risk Management Agency will be shut down almost entirely, agriculture officials said that Midwest farmers and producers won't be affected that much. Millet Could Be The Next Trendy Grain By Luke Runyon • Oct 1, 2013 Luke Runyon/Harvest Public Media Heritage grains are trendy. Walk through a health food store and see packages of grains grown long before modern seed technology created hybrid varieties, grains eaten widely outside of the developed world: amaranth, sorghum, quinoa. But there's another grain with tremendous potential growing on the Great Plains: millet. Farm Bill Expires; What's Next? By Amy Mayer • Oct 1, 2013 Frank Morris/Harvest Public Media The farm bill expired at midnight on Monday, leaving farmers and ranchers across the country guessing at what federal farm policy will look like when they next put their crops in the ground. Of course, they're used to uncertainty, as this is the second straight year Congress has let the farm bill expire. Last year, farmers were set adrift for three months before lawmakers passed a nine-month extension of older policy in January. Incentive Plan To Keep ADM Headquarters In Illinois By Associated Press • Sep 30, 2013 ADM A proposed incentive package created to persuade Archer Daniels Midland Company to keep its global headquarters in Illinois is sparking debate among lawmakers. The proposal would give ADM a 10 percent break on utility taxes for up to 30 years and an income-tax credit. It's expected to be discussed at an Illinois House committee meeting Tuesday. ADM announced last week it plans to move its global headquarters out of Decatur. Largely Unpopular, Direct Payment Subsidies Persist By Frank Morris • Sep 24, 2013 Frank Morris/Harvest Public Media Congress is bitterly divided on food stamps and other issues contained in the farm bill, but both political parties agree on something: the $5 billion-a-year farm subsidy called Direct and Countercyclical Payments has got to go. The program shells out to farmers and land owners regardless of need or loss. It's a hold-out from a farm bill that promised an end to subsidies and it's holding on only because Congress is so dysfunctional. Sticker Shock - It's Not Just On New Tractors Anymore By Gene Meyer • Sep 24, 2013 The Knowles gallery/flickr Buying a new farm tractor costs almost as much as a new home in a decent suburb. Shelling out $200,000 or more for shiny new John Deere, Case IH, New Holland or other name brand horsepower to work the fields of a 21st century Midwestern farm isn't unusual, farmers and dealers say. What seems more unusual, to newcomers to farm economics at least, is that those shiny new models aren't the hottest selling big iron on many dealers' lots. That would be the used tractors that were traded in when the new models rolled off the dealers' flatbed trucks. Obamacare Could Be Tough Sell In Rural Areas By Grant Gerlock • Sep 24, 2013 Grant Gerlock/Harvest Public Media The Affordable Care Act, often called "Obamacare," takes a big step forward Oct. 1 when new health insurance marketplaces open for enrollment. Rural families are more likely to qualify for subsidized coverage, but reaching them to sign up will be part of the challenge. So, will farm country take advantage of new health insurance subsidies? That's the question in Nebraska. Almost 200,000 Nebraskans don't have health insurance. Nearly half of them are spread across the state's rural areas. Singer-Songwriter's Ode To Agriculture By Sean Crawford • Sep 23, 2013 Chicago-based singer-songwriter Susan Werner has worked on concept albums before – from jazz standards to pop classics to Gospel music for agnostics. But now she's turned to her farm roots for inspiration. Werner, who's currently touring in the Midwest, desribes her new CD, Hayseed, as "egg meets art," celebrating agriculture through music. ADM To Move Headquarters From Decatur By Associated Press • Sep 23, 2013 ADM Agribusiness giant Archer Daniel Midland Company says that after 44 years in Decatur, Ill., it is looking for a new location for its headquarters. CEO Patricia Woertz says in a news release Monday that ADM needs what she called a global center with better access to customers and employees around the world. The company says it doesn't plan layoffs and will keep a workforce of 4,400 in Decatur, which also will become ADM's North American headquarters. ADM says the new headquarters would have about 100 employees. ADM is the largest employer in Decatur. Why Farmers Want New Equipment By Bill Wheelhouse • Sep 23, 2013 Bill Wheelhouse/Harvest Public Media On a hot August day in late August, Kevin Bien stands in the shade of a large gray piece of farm equipment. The brand marketing manager for Gleaner Combines gives his best spiel to a group of farmers attending the Farm progress Show in Decatur. Torque, efficiency, and new technology are among his key points for the prospective buyers of the large machines that can run anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000. And farmers are buying. Frequently. U.S. Corn Exports On The Rebound By Bill Wheelhouse • Sep 11, 2013 Darrell Hoemann/The Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting Last summer's drought knocked the nation's corn exports to the mat. And while U.S. farmers may be getting up from that punch, it may take them longer to regain their footing in international markets. Horse Slaughter Divides Horse Lovers By Frank Morris • Sep 10, 2013 Frank Morris/Harvest Public Media Most Americans don't eat horse meat, and they don't like the idea of horses being slaughtered, but a handful of investors are struggling to restart a horse slaughter industry in the United States. The investors argue that reviving horse slaughter plants would be both good for the horse business and more humane than the current situation. They're hoping to open a new horse slaughter plant near Gallatin, Mo., but opposition has the project mired in the legal system. The issue cleaves horse owners into two camps: one that views horses as pets and another that see them as livestock. New Pest Damaging Midwest Fruit Crops By Abbie Fentress Swanson • Sep 9, 2013 Timothy Baker Farmers across Illinois and other midwest states are worried about their berries, peaches and tomatoes thanks to a newly arrived pest. The spotted wing drosophila looks like an ordinary fruit fly but is way more deadly. It kills healthy fruit by making a tiny slit in a fruit's skin and laying eggs inside. In two weeks, a female fly can lay more than 300 eggs. So a couple of adults can become thousands in a few months. Lincoln University's Jaime Piñero says no soft fruit is safe. Report: Farmers Could Do More To Lessen Impact Of Drought By Bill Wheelhouse • Sep 4, 2013 plantcovercrops.com Farmers across the country received more than $17-Billion in federal crop insurance payouts after last year's drought. A report by one environmental group blames farmers for not doing enough to shield the soil against the heat. My Farm Roots: Community Counts By Jeremy Bernfeld • Sep 3, 2013 Jeremy Bernfeld/Harvest Public Media This is the thirteenth installment of the 2013 edition of My Farm Roots, Harvest Public Media's series chronicling Americans' connection to the land. Click here to explore more My Farm Roots stories and to share your own. Matt Pauly has traveled the world – he's lived in New York, Paris, South Korea – but he's still a farm boy at heart.

I am in NY celebrating with my close ones :)...my parents were here yesterday and all my friends are slowly arriving for a big celebration on Tuesday...I'm off to the MOMA, and some shoe shopping at Barney's! Bye!Last night, the leggy Aussie Open champ, looking stunning in a white flowy blouse, high-waisted black bubble skirt, and ridiculously high heels, visited with a flirty David Letterman who seemed taken by the stylish tennis baller (will Nole be jealous?). They talked birthday parties, clay-court tennis, and even met up for some 2-on-1 tennis with Billy Crystal on a make-shift court.
In case you missed it:
Of course, the big Tag Heuer event for Maria is tonight - do you think she'll show up looking like this?
