Visiting the Dane County Farmers' Market
Madison, Wisconsin
- Location: Madison, Wisconsin
- Website: dcfm.org
On a recent work trip to Madison, Wis., we extended our visit by a few days for the sole purpose of attending the Dane County Farmers' Market, reported to be one of the biggest and best farmers' markets in the country. Would the market really live up to the hype?
Absolutely. But the greatest thing about the DCFM isn't its size. It's the warmth and personality of its people that makes this the most enjoyable farmers' market we have ever visited. All items sold at the market must be produced by the vendors at the tables, meaning there are no resellers and each person has an intimate knowledge of how the products were grown and harvested.
With about 150 vendors stretched across the grounds of the state capitol building (the market moves to an indoor location in winter), the DCFM attracts hoards of locals and tourists. We were advised to get there early and arrived at 6 am – potato buttermilk doughnut in hand – to watch the market unfold. As the sun rose and we made our way around the square, we listened to farmers' personal stories, learned about wild Wisconsin foods, and tasted local cheese, horseradish, and maple syrup. It was a delicious and educational morning that we will remember for a long time.
1 Shoppers move counter-clockwise to visit stalls set up around the capitol square.
2 There were dozens of apple varieties, with Honeycrisp, Sonata, and Swiss Gourmet among the most highly recommended this week.
3 Shoppers can learn anything they ever wanted to know (and more!) about hardneck garlic at Gunderson's Great Garlic stand.
4 Beautiful shapes and colors of the fall harvest.
5 Francisco Dremsa and his wife sell honey, herbs, mushrooms, wild ginseng, and other products. He told us that in recent years colony collapse disorder has reduced his honey harvest from 150 pounds a year to just 30.
6 Mini pumpkins for decor or eating.
7 A trip to Wisconsin wouldn't be complete without a bag of cheese curds!
8 More autumn colors.
9 Juicy Moonglow pears from Ela Orchard, a three-generation family farm.
10 Soft wool yarn and wreaths from Wisconsin Highlands Farms.
11 Organic produce at JenEhr Family Farm.
12 The Gourd Guy has been selling at DCFM for 17 years.
13 Pretty winter squashes.
14 Potatoes are a specialty of Wisconsin growers.
15 Crystal Barnard (in her husband Jim's apron) with the last Concord grapes of the season.

Oh, this post warms my heart! I went to school in Madison and my last two years lived close enough to the Capitol Square to head up to the market on the weekends. Nothing better to bring back to share with your roommates than a bag full of cheese curds, apples, local honey, and cider donuts!!
Yay for the Madison Farmers Market! You missed my favorite vendor though... Driftless Organics are always worth a visit. Also, props for getting Cisco Dremsa on the page! I grew up with him!
I miss this market so much. I'm in Boulder now, where there is also a huge, incredibly popular farmers' market, but it just isn't the same. Madison's really is a friendly market, and the circular setup makes for a great traffic flow (unlike the cluster&*$% in Boulder, complete with 2 dogs for every 3 people....)
I used to think that the Dane County Farmer's Market was the best...and for awhile it was. However, the Union Square Farmer's Market in NYC has caught-up to DCFM, and may have even surpassed it. I was in Madison two weekends ago and I was disappointed with the number of pies I saw. I agree that the people are warm and setting is great, but Union Square is better. Sorry Madison.
Yes, thank you for posting about the best farmer's market in the country! I live a few blocks from the capitol, so it's where we do most of our weekly shopping on Saturdays. Such great variety and excellent prices.
Eastern Market, Detroit.
Disappointed by the number of pies!?!?!?! You had better stay in New York, buddy. We don't like that kind of anti-pie talk in the Midwest.
We moved to Madison about 6 weeks ago, and we adore this market! Beautiful midwest produce, fun baked goods and prepared foods, the best cheese anywhere, amazing honey and maple syrup. It does get crowded, though, so get there early!
I miss the Madison farmer's market so much. It was the highlight of my summer's there to go walk to the capitol and get armloads of produce and a crusty loaf of bread for the week. If you're a late sleeper on the weekends like me, I never got to watch the market set up but I would get there as people were taking down and getting rid of their produce at ridiculous prices just so they wouldn't have to load it up and take it back with them.
I now live just over the state line in IL and go to the Woodstock farmers market (where they filmed Groundhog Day). It's got a super cute square, so it's kinda like the Madison market only really small. I like it though because it's not crowded and I can actually talk shop to all the vendors.
I'm originally from NYC, but moved to Madison 2 years ago with my family of 5. I love the shopping here. Madison is very dedicated to local growers and vendors. CSAs are one of the best too.
Hot spicy cheese bread from Stella's. OK, discuss.
More info on #7, Farmer John, can be found at his website or the short video about him here.
I actually was not that impressed with the Madison farmers' market. I thought it was going to be a lot better in quality and selection than it actually was. Maybe I am just spoiled by the St. Paul and various Mpls farmers' market though.
i do, however, love Driftless Organics and am doing a CSA with them this year. So great!
The DCFM was my favorite thing from the two years I spent in Madison!! We couldn't take the cold, but we'd take that farmer's market ANY TIME! ;)

Waveshaping is known by several alternative names, including 'non-linear distortion' and 'non-linear processing'. Jean-Claude Risset is credited with the first use of the technique, in 1969, though the principle technical papers on the technique were published independently ten years later, by Daniel Arfib, James Beauchamp, and Marc Lebrun.
Recalling the structure of the basic wavetable, and assuming that it contains a sine wave, the regular increment of the instantaneous phase can be represented by a straight line. This line is the 'transfer function' applied to the wavetable. Complex timbral modification can be created by simple means, and this modification can be made amplitude-sensitive and thus reflect the behaviour of acoustic instrumental sounds. The transfer function can be drawn empirically, or it can be calculated by mathematical formulae which give precise control of the harmonics arising from the waveshaping process.

The Labor Day holiday marked the end of the peak driving season, a good occasion to review the most recent data on gasoline consumption, which accounts for almost 10% of global liquid fuels consumption. For the first half of 2013, EIA data show gasoline consumption lower than the comparable 2012 period by 50,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), or 0.6%, lower than in the comparable 2012 period (Figure 1). Economic growth, gasoline prices, and vehicle fleet efficiency are key determinants of gasoline use. So far in 2013, year-over-year economic growth and slightly lower retail gasoline prices, a combination that would generally lead to increased gasoline consumption, have been more than offset by the increased fuel efficiency of the light-duty vehicle fleet.
The gasoline consumption trend through first-half 2013 was largely a continuation of the trend observed in 2012, when gasoline consumption also fell about 50,000 bbl/d compared to 2011. This average decline in consumption of about 50,000 bbl/d represents a more moderate pace of demand deterioration than in 2011, when significant price increases as a result of Libyan crude oil production outages were the main impetus behind an average 240,000-bbl/d decline in consumption compared with 2010. Since the beginning of 2011, gasoline consumption has declined year-over-year in 21 of the 30 months for which EIA has published monthly data.
The net effect of the income, price, and fuel efficiency impacts as modeled by EIA yields a decline in gasoline consumption of 0.8%, which is roughly consistent with the 0.6% year-over-year decline observed for January through June 2013.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the first six months of 2013 is estimated to be 1.7% higher than for the same period in 2012. According to EIA's Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) model, the short-term income elasticity for vehicle miles traveled is about 0.6 (meaning a 1% increase in income results in a 0.6% increase in miles traveled). This elasticity estimate suggests that motor gasoline consumption should have been 1.0% higher this year than in the same period in 2012, assuming no year-over-year change in gasoline prices or fuel efficiency of the vehicle fleet.
In its STEO model, EIA estimates the short-term elasticity of vehicle miles traveled with respect to the price of gasoline to be about -0.04 (a 1.0% increase in prices leads to a 0.04% decline in highway travel). The average pump price of regular-grade gasoline during the first six months of 2013 was 2.1% lower than the same period last year. Motor gasoline consumption would therefore have been 0.1% higher than in 2012, assuming no year-over-year change in economic activity or improvement in the average efficiency of the vehicle fleet.

Crowdfinance: Banks' friend or foe?
As crowdfunding expands under JOBS Act, banks must assess position of this upstart for startups
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Dara Albright says she laughs every time she thinks of a recent New Yorker cartoon showing two panhandlers. One whispers to the other: "Remember, we're not begging. We're crowdfunding."
Albright, chief strategy officer of consultancy Crowdnetic, thinks bankers should be looking seriously into crowdfunding, or, "crowdfinance," as she and some other players are coming to prefer.
You may have heard about Kickstarter, the crowdfunding website where artists, inventors, and others seek capital from the public in the form of donations or in exchange for various rewards. Since launching in 2009, the service has enabled 4.9 million people to back projects to the tune of $805 million in pledges from, as the site states, "friends, fans, and inspired strangers."
But chances are you've never heard of Sparkmarket, and, if your bank is based in Georgia, co-founder Jeff Bekiares very much wishes you had. You may have heard of Fundrise, which has already had some interest from bankers.
More about them in a moment. In the U.S., most crowdfunding activity has been in the donation and reward phase, but that is on the verge of changing. Under the JOBS Act—the same legislation that achieved banks' long-sought changes to shareholder counts that trigger public reporting status—two significant milestones were set up. In late September, companies were permitted to make general public solicitations—from a TV commercial to a billboard—to raise capital for a business from accredited investors, under Title II of the act. Later, after securities regulators issue rules, Title III's provisions will go into effect, which will enable companies to raise equity or to offer debt through crowdfunding.
Georgia on his mind
Jeff Bekiares, a Georgia banking attorney, says his platform will be able to offer such services to businesses sooner. That's because Georgia, using a longstanding federal securities provision available to states, has implemented its Invest Georgia Exemption. The law permits states to allow intra-state capital raising through mechanisms like crowdfunding.
Bekiares has tapped his banking connections to raise awareness of Sparkmarket and crowdfinance's potential, "but getting commercial banks to pay attention to that has been very challenging."
The attorney isn't looking for their cash, but for their referrals. "I see this as a partnership," explains Bekiares. "I see no measure of competition. It's really a complementary business."
Banks don't generally finance startups. "There's a lot of risk, and you are only getting your interest rate," says Art Johnson, chairman and CEO, United Bank of Michigan, Grand Rapids, $467.1 million-assets.
But Bekiares sees banks in the position to say, "We can't lend you money out of the gate. But if you raise capital through something like crowdfunding, that can collateralize a loan."
"Everybody wins with this scenario," says Bekiares. "But nobody wants to be the first to brand themselves with a crowdfunding platform."
Only Georgia and Kansas have such exemptions at present. But as the JOBS Act provisions kick in, more startup companies will be able to make their case to the public for debt and equity funding.
Local hopes rise, one brick at a time
Sparkmarket isn't the only operation doing business under an exemption. A different provision in securities law, under Regulation A, enables a real estate investment crowdfinance platform called Fundrise to raise money for urban construction and commercial real estate projects. These projects are called "direct public offerings" or "local public offerings," according to Fundrise co-founder Ben Miller. With the clearance of local regulators, Miller explains, firms like his can offer what are essentially syndicated real estate deals—except they can be done in units of $100.
"We're not offering developers the whole capital stack," explains Miller, but the opportunity to tap a fresh source as part of the finance mix through a tech platform. Most of what Fundrise does is very local, promoting opportunities in local projects through its site to local investors. From the investor viewpoint, Fundrise offers the opportunity to invest online in property—in about 30 seconds.
While he has worked with some banks already on aspects of the deals that the site promotes, Miller believes "banks will be slow to recognize this technique." He believes community banks represent the best potential partners, "because they are more agile and more local."
Should banks take crowdfinance seriously?
With the myriad of immediate issues facing banks today—from bulging compliance duties to skinny margins—crowdfunding may not seem too meaningful or pressing. But an industry facing as much competition as bankers do can't afford to ignore the trend.
"If you think that crowdfunding just means smaller companies that launch games and device projects on platforms like Kickstarter, think again," wrote Carl Esposti in 2013CF: The Crowdfunding Industry Report. "Crowdfunding has now emerged as a viable, scalable alternative to public and private finance." Esposti is CEO and founder of Massolution and crowdsourcing.org.
Esposti and others in the field point to the phenomenon of Pebble Technology, a startup that makes a wrist-mounted watch that interfaces with iPhones and Androids, which raised over $10 million from over 68,000 backers on Kickstarter after seeking only $100,000. Esposti predicts that crowdfunding of all kinds will raise $5.1 billion in 2013, nearly three quarters of that in the U.S.
There are five kinds of crowdfunding platforms now: donation based, including such projects as backing novelists, artists, and kids looking for educational travel; rewards based, where you get something in exchange for a pledge; lending-based; equity-based; and royalty-based, the newest. The field has matured to the point where a growing group of suppliers—one web ad promises "a platform in a box"—is emerging to serve the industry.
Disruptive methodology
Earlier this year, the securities arm of BBVA, the international financial company that owns BBVA Compass, issued an economic outlook report titled Crowdfunding: A Disruptive Technology for Commercial Banks? The report took crowdfunding quite seriously. A key comment:
"Crowdfunding platforms are not banks, and yet they offer loans and brokerage services to individuals and small businesses like any other bank would do. They currently serve 'the bottom of the market,' but that doesn't mean they cannot reach upper segments. In fact, by the time crowdfunding platforms appeal to mainstream customers it will be too late for banks to catch up with the new trend. And there is a real risk that banks stop being the primary source for personal and small business loans. Therefore, it is important that commercial banks devote resources to understand and potentially benefit from this kind of disruptive technologies." [Emphasis added.]
Banks at present enjoy a wealth of deposits, though observers say that crowdfunding with returns could become an attractive alternate place to put funds, especially versus today's deposit interest rates. Already, backers are promoting the idea of self-directed IRA holders putting funds to work on crowd platforms.
Warns the BBVA report: "Perhaps, for the first time in history, business and individuals have access to an unprecedented source of capital created from the small contributions of millions of individuals around the world. This is good news for individuals and entrepreneurs, who may never have to worry about not being able to access traditional lending sources or using more expensive funding solutions to finance their projects. It is also good news for small investors seeking a higher return than conventional investment products."
The report says that for banks the challenge will be competing with a mechanism with much lower operating costs. Indeed, Sally Outlaw, co-founder of Peerbacker.com, and an industry author and consultant, says that crowdfunding sites don't take all that much to operate once they are up and operating. Much of the activity to make a successful request for funds hinges on promotional efforts to drive people to the listings.
What banking is thinking
But what about the view closer to banking, and among bankers themselves?
John Barlow, whose firm, Barlow Research Associates, studies commercial lending extensively, has concerns about crowdfinance. "Our research in the small business market shows that the single biggest driver of satisfaction is how easy it is to do business with a bank," says Barlow. "Between compliance and risk management, the credit process is burdened with costs and customer frustrations."
Barlow says that one measure he finds relevant is the speed at which a credit decision is rendered.
"Our research says the customer expects a decision in 2.6 days," he says. "Until we meet that metric the industry will be vulnerable to new players with faster processes."
Massolutions' Esposti points to ABN AMRO's 2012 pilot, Seeds (www.seeds.nl), as an example of what large banks can try. ABN AMRO spokesperson Karen de Vries says that the four-month pilot has been declared a success—three of the five businesses posted were financed through the platform. And 350 entrepreneurs expressed interest in the next round. Recently, de Vries adds, ABN AMRO decided to make the site permanent. "This should continuously result in 10 to 15 companies seeking investments through Seeds," she says.
But community bankers interviewed about crowdfunding frequently hadn't focused much on it—testimony to the fires in their inboxes that distract them. And there was some skepticism of crowdfunding's trendiness and its concentration solely on funding.
"Banks think they provide more services than just financing," explains Craig Miller, co-chair of the banking and financial services practice at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips law firm. He believes bankers will see crowdfinance more as a one-shot deal, not the relationship business that banks try to develop with a company. And getting involved directly in crowdfinance, he suggests, would become a "regulatory morass" for a bank.
Along that line, referring would-be entrepreneurs, even possibly existing customers, to crowdfinanciers to raise capital injections "could be tricky," according to Jeff Sumpter, co-president and CEO at Oregon City, Ore.'s $122.6 million-assets Lewis & Clark Bank. "We'd have to be careful to not appear to be running the person's business. I wouldn't want to be too involved."
"I see crowdfunding platforms playing more of an entrée role," says Miller.
Among bankers, one point of skepticism was the monies involved. A million bucks gets used up awfully fast these days by a small business, and the success of the Pebble project mentioned earlier is not typical thus far. As JOBS Act provisions are implemented, and more traditional companies look into its usage, that might change.
Chris Nichols, a veteran banker, brings two hats to the table when crowdfunding comes up. Nichols spent more than a decade with the Pacific Coast Bankers Bank, including heading its capital markets subsidiary, and is currently chief strategy officer at CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A., Winter Haven, $2.3 billion. But he is also co-founder of a funding platform, Wall & Main.
Launching this month, Wall & Main's angle will be that not any entrepreneur will be able to go on the site. Nichols and his co-founders hope that banks will come to see platforms like theirs as allies, not competitors.
"Our standards will be very high, and it will be harder to get on Wall & Main's platform than on others," says Michael London, president and CEO. Firms seeking funds will need to develop boards, financial plans, and financial statements in order to take part. In a sense, he says, a site like Wall & Main could be a filter for bankers.
Are there partnerships in the future?
Near term, crowdfunding should represent a source of cooperation, and even further on, a form of "co-opetition," believes consultant and author Jason Best, co-founder and principal at Crowdfund Capital Advisors, and co-author of books on the technique, including Crowdfunding for Dummies. Best worked closely with legislators backing the JOBS Act crowdfunding provisions. He believes crowdfunding will help bring more small businesses into being, which will at some point become bankable customers.
"Banks should look at it as a net positive," Best said. Crowdfunding holds more promise for startups, he thinks, than do venture capitalists. Some large investors are said to cruise crowdfund sites looking for "the next big idea."
Best is among those who see crowdfunding having special appeal locally, with people being able to put their money directly into local business that they frequent or that they believe in. "For Main Street businesses, debt-based crowdfunding will be pretty common," he predicts. Wall & Main, which Best advises, envisions arrangements where a local investor might initially obtain a reward—say 50 suits cleaned over three years by a dry cleaner that wants to expand. If an investment return comes later, that's even better.
Michigan banker Art Johnson sees a potential role in making community reinvestment projects easier for smaller banks to take part in, through crowdfunding. And Massolutions's Esposti suggests that crowdfunding could back local startups in business "incubator" arrangements. Community bankers frequently join, or even head up, such efforts, in the interest of fostering their local economy and jobs.
Further out there, perhaps, is crowdfunding as a source of investments. Some crowdfunding enthusiasts point to wealth management as the place where banks, clients, and crowdfunding could fit well together.

Leggings that stay up!
I am very tall and also high-waisted. This means I can NEVER find leggings that are long enough in the leg, or stay up when I move around.....until these. The wide waistband lands AT the waist instead of below it and the Tall length is almost too long (quite a novelty for me). I bought 2 pairs and now I'm buying two more!

I bought this to use as a wild land fire pack for the upcoming season. I am very pleased so far, well built, sturdy, and good looking. It is comfortable to wear.

Great bag for spike camp. Is the main bag detachable? Initial attack work sometimes dictates detaching the main pack and just carrying the fire shelter and a couple of bottles of water / fusees, ect...

Most serviceable day pack I've owned, though it was designed originally for other uses. Ideal weight distribution with solid leather harness that molds over time to your frame, like a pair of fine Limmer boots. I rarely buckle the side pockets or main bucket behind: the cinches suffice to keep things in place, and this leaves the perfectly situated and roomy compartments accessible while wearing the pack. The broad leather support belt is comfortable, but I wonder whether a cloth belt such as in the Monarch or Bushcrafter models might also do the job. The pack so far has endured six months of being dragged through cliff faces and brambles without a scar or tear, and I'm happier each week with my purchase.

The Master Chief returns to battle an ancient evil bent on vengeance and annihilation. Shipwrecked on a mysterious world, faced with new enemies and deadly technology, the universe will never be the same. Enlist aboard the Infinity to experience Halo's original multiplayer and Spartan Ops - innovative episodic fiction-based co-op missions.
Key Features
1. The Reclaimer Saga Begins: Experience the dawn of an epic new Halo adventure, solo or split screen with up to three friends.
2. Go Beyond the Story: Halo 4's Infinity Multiplayer features a vastly expanded suite of multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, armor abilities, a new loadout and Spartan IV player progression system.
3. Edge-of-your-seat Entertainment: Immerse yourself in Halo 4's graphics, sound and epic game play including a mysterious and deadly new class of enemies.*
Extend your campaign experience in a massive-scale adventure that builds upon the "Halo 4" Campaign. Receive a weekly series of cinematic episodes on Xbox LIVE followed by new game play missions, played solo or cooperatively with up to three friends – effectively delivering two campaign experiences in one game!*
Four years after the end of the Covenant War, Cortana and the Master Chief find themselves on Requiem, home to a power far greater than anything humanity has ever faced before.
In campaign mode, you'll play as the Master Chief, fighting through enemies, both new and familiar, to uncover secrets one hundred thousand years old. Stranded on a distant world with an AI as your only ally, it's up to you to make it out alive.
This revolutionary battle simulation system is where Spartans go to hone their skills in combat. Through holographic technology and vast pneumatic riser fields, the War Games facility is transformed into a hyper-realistic battlefield, simulating both real and hypothetical combat arenas. Moderated by the War Games AI, Spartans engage in a variety of classic and new gametypes.
Spartan Ops represents a watershed moment of immersive, story-driven cooperative gameplay delivered in addictive, bite-sized episodic pieces. Spartan Ops episodes run the course of a season, providing epic gameplay experiences driven by the powerful stories of the Spartans aboard Infinity, as they encounter the hostile alien world of Requiem. Spartan Ops will extend the Halo 4 experience long after the campaign is over.
The standard Slayer experience of past Halo titles, now with a variety of new features that span across the entire War Games experience.
New features include a scoring system which separates both individual and team performance and a dynamic ordnance drop system, among several other exciting things yet to be revealed.
A new twist on the traditional Slayer experience that now allows Spartans to earn points during the course of a match which can eventually be leveraged to call in ordnance from overhead. Ordnance drops within Infinity Slayer consist of three selectable but randomly generated weapons or power-ups, which can alter the Spartans' speed, shielding, or ability to issue damage.
The Spartan in first place is the "king." As the king racks up kills, his or her bounty increases, thereby increasing the points other Spartans gain from killing the king. All other Spartans' heads-up displays and motion sensors give away the king's location at all times during the match, intensely focusing combat wherever the point leader happens to be.
During the course of War Games simulations and Spartan Ops, drop pods can deploy ordnance into the field.
Once on the ground, these pods are marked on the heads-up displays of all nearby personnel who can then acquire the weapons or power-ups for use against enemies. In some simulated matches within War Games, Spartans can earn and manually call in their own ordnance drops.
Through both War Games and Spartan Ops, players can rank up their Spartan, unlocking items such as armor kits, components, and skins for use within their custom loadouts.
While ranking up, Spartans also earn points that can be used to purchase items to improve their combat performance and abilities in the field.
As Spartans advances in rank, they earn a wide selection of armor sets and individual pieces, which can be mixed and matched to reflect personal tastes. In addition, Spartans can skin their armor to have a more impactful field presence and identity.
The rarest armor sets and components can only be received upon completion of specific in-game Commendations, Challenges, or other Waypoint goals.
If you own Halo 4's "War Game Map Pass," DO NOT purchase this content here as you will be charged again. Daybreak is set in a military facility against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the warrens, canyons and arches of an alien edifice, and Perdition takes players into the heart of an urban sprawl, with tactical speed and situational awareness its key features.
Referred to as the 'Great Anvils' by UNSC personnel deployed to the southwestern peninsula of Requiem's smallest continent, these massive sentinels tower high above the shield world's warm tropical ocean. The geologic data acquired from these islands has offered incredible fodder for Infinity Science's Forge group, providing diverse and modifiable terrain for the War Games combat simulations.
The second installment of maps in the Halo 4 War Games Map Pass, Majestic Map Pack delivers what fans have been asking for with three all-new small- to medium-sized maps and a new mode, Infinity Rumble. These close-quarters maps shine in small team play and free-for-all. Landfall's emphasis is on infantry battles amidst a glittering ocean and a city under siege on a distant world. Monolith is an open battlefield with a Forerunner monument that exposes you to the naked vacuum of space -- and the firepower of opposing teams. Skyline puts you in the air on a new construction site, and its distinctly industrial surroundings and sky-high locale provides new challenges in confined spaces.
Embark upon the new Halo Reclaimer saga in style on an Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 4 Bundle. Designed in collaboration with 343 Industries, this limited-edition bundle includes a customized Halo 4 Xbox 360 console complete with a 320GB hard drive, exclusive on-off and eject sound effects, two customized controllers, a standard edition Halo 4 game and downloadable Halo 4 content.

Don't mess with mamma! Nature at it's best. amazing how the fawn trried to hide when it sensed danger. That poor dog was probably thinking what the hell did I do to deserve this

Shia LaBeouf Apologizes for His Plagiarized Short Film [UPDATE]
If there's one thing an artist should never do, it's directly steal from another artist without giving due credit. Apparently, someone forgot to tell Shia LaBeouf, who released a short film he directed online only to find himself being accused of plagiarism. Well, "accused" is the wrong word here, mainly because LeBeouf undoubtedly lifted dialogue and shots from another source, and didn't think that was important to mention in the film's credits.
'HowardCantour.com' seemed awfully insightful and fascinating for a still-fresh director like LaBeouf, but we now know that he lifted material from a Daniel Clowes comic called 'Justin M. Damiano,' which tells the story of a film critic at a junket event with eery accuracy. With every line of dialogue taken straight from the comic and virtually every shot copied like the comic was a storyboard, LeBeouf has been caught red-handed. Why didn't he ask for Clowes' permission? Why didn't someone as well off as him just buy the rights, credit Clowes and make it legal? Who knows. LeBeouf's rambling apology on Twitter Tuesday morning certainly didn't help:
Copying isn't particularly creative work. Being inspired by someone else's idea to produce something new and different IS creative work. In my excitement and naiveté as an amateur filmmaker, I got lost in the creative process and neglected to follow proper accreditation. I'm embarrassed that I failed to credit @danielclowes for his original graphic novella Justin M. Damiano, which served as my inspiration. I was truly moved by his piece of work & I knew that it would make a poignant & relevant short. I apologize to all who assumed I wrote it. I deeply regret the manner in which these events have unfolded and want @danielclowes to know that I have a great respect for his work.
You'd think a guy who has worked in the movie business as long as LeBeouf would know the first thing about copyright laws and ownership and what not. You'd also think his agent and manager would be smart enough to stop him. Then again, you'd also think that he wouldn't stoop so low (as Gawker pointed out) as to plagiarize his apology from Yahoo Answers. Yikes!
UPDATE: LaBeouf has since taken 'HowardCantour.com' offline, but it doesn't look like that will be enough. According to Clowes' longtime editor Eric Reynolds in an e-mail to Buzzfeed, the artist is pursuing his legal options:
His apology is a non-apology, absolving himself of the fact that he actively misled, at best, and lied, at worst, about the genesis of the film. No one 'assumes' authorship for no reason. He implied authorship in the film credits itself, and has gone even further in interviews. He clearly doesn't get it, and that's disturbing. I'm not sure if it's more disturbing that he plagiarized, or that he could rationalize it enough to think it was OK and that he might actually get away with it. Fame clearly breeds a false sense of security.
In addition, Clowes said:
The first I ever heard of the film was this morning when someone sent me a link. I've never spoken to or met Mr. LaBeouf. I've never even seen one of his films that I can recall — and I was shocked, to say the least, when I saw that he took the script and even many of the visuals from a very personal story I did six or seven years ago and passed it off as his own work. I actually can't imagine what was going through his mind.

|The Best Scale out there (5/5)
|Dec 16, 2012
|Judy Abernathy
|Forbestown CA US
|I have been using this scale for almost 4 years now. I use it to weigh my flours, milk powder, oils, seeds... even mashed bananas!! When I'm making two loaves of bread at once, I use waxed paper, and put the entire dough ball on the scale. This allows me to weigh have both loaves equal in weight. The tare feature allows me to use practically any bowl and to keep adding items to a bowl. The pre-programmed feature is simply the best. At first I thought I'd need the adapter, but with the auto shut off feature, I am still on the original battery. This is a scale I use for everything, even weighing foods for my diet. I am very happy with this, and will use it for years to come.

In Shirlee's world, playing Candy Crush means smashing candy with a hammer. And saving 15 percent on car insurance takes 15 minutes. But 15 minutes for a quote isn't so sweet.

The Bryan Brothers are busy guys. So Esurance is using technology to help them see New York. Just like how we use tech to help you make smart choices about your insurance.

When Carol needs a trustworthy roofer, she shouts it from the rooftop. She obviously doesn't know that you can find one with just a few clicks online. These days, Esurance even makes it possible to buy homeowners insurance online.
Watch the "Carol" commercial >
This is Milton, photography fanatic. He saved 15 percent on car insurance in 15 minutes, so he took a photocopier "selfie" to show everyone how happy he is. But with Esurance, he could save money on car insurance in half that time.
Watch the "Milton" commercial >
This is Frank, file-o-phile. He stores everything he needs in precise, alphabetically ordered files. Too bad he doesn't understand technology. With Express Lane® from Esurance, we can autofill your driving info and help you get a quote faster than ever.
Watch the "Frank" commercial >
Meet Hank, out-of-touch dad. His daughter says he's behind the times, but Hank thinks saving money on car insurance in just 15 minutes means he's tech savvy. LOL. With Esurance, 7 ½ minutes could save you on car insurance.
Watch the "Hank" commercial >
Meet Earl, belt clip enthusiast. He thinks his flip phone is all the mobile technology he needs. But he's missing out on Esurance's newest mobile feature, video appraisal. Now you can use your smartphone to video chat with a claims expert, get the damage appraised in real time, and settle your claim faster than ever.
Watch the "Earl" commercial >
Meet Beatrice, offline over-sharer. Instead of mailing her vacation photos, she posts them to her "wall." It's so quick — just like her car insurance. But 15 minutes for a quote isn't how it works anymore. With Esurance, 7 ½ minutes could save you on car insurance.
Watch the "Beatrice" commercial >
Meet Larry, HD holdout. He saves time by not rewinding DVDs — which is crazy. Kinda like taking 15 minutes for a quote. With Esurance, 7 ½ minutes could save you on car insurance.
Watch the "Larry" commercial >
The person who said, "If you love something, set it free," probably wasn't talking about dollars. Pretty much everybody wants to keep those. Most car insurance companies know this because they keep yelling about it … only they don't say how they're saving those dollars.
Watch the "Set It Free" commercial >
Has your phone turned you into a control freak? Like scoring the perfect table. Or getting a better seat. Or let's say there's an accident. If you have Esurance, you can use their mobile app to start a claim, upload a few photos, and get your money fast.

Raise your hand if you've got savings whiplash — you know, from car insurance companies shouting, "Save $500 bucks over here!" "No, save $300 bucks over here!" "Wait, save $400 bucks right here!"
With so many places offering so much buck-saving, where do you start?
Watch the "Savings Whiplash" commercial >
How do you make an old-school industry like insurance more modern, easier, less of a hassle?
Well, you start by being forward-thinking, flexible, and (ultra)responsive.
Then you get busy creating things like a mobile site lauded by Google®
, a smartphone app loved by thousands, and innovative ways to file and track your claims (such as with that app we mentioned). Not to mention an interactive Coverage Counselor® and online repair monitoring with RepairView®.
But enough about us. Let's talk about you. Out there in the modern world doing modern things, like banking online, checking emails from your smartphone, building your own social media empire. You've realized that these social networks are for more than just small talk — they're also places to get stuff done. And Esurance is right there with you, ready to respond if you've got a beef to tweet about, some praise to post, or just want to circle up with us.
Of course, the modern world's about more than cool technology and status updates. It's also about embracing and celebrating our diversity and our commonality. It's about taking care of this planet. But more than anything, for an insurance company, it's about listening to and taking care of our customers.

Great Fit
Love these jeans.....great fabric for the summer months, and the colors are awesome. There is just enough stretch that gives these jeans a perfect fit without getting that baggy look at the end of the day.

Mermaid Tears Sea Glass
Our passion for sea glass hunting drives us to spend countless hours on the beach. The beach combing naturally progressed into handcrafting stunning distinctive sea glass jewelry. We use only sea glass that is naturally tumbled in the ocean and all of our jewelry is made with sea glass that we collected ourselves on secret beaches on Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island U.S.A..
Sea glass is naturally formed from tumbling for many years against the waves and sand. The combination of the location, winds, tides, sand and gravel make the sea glass frost smooth and shapes it into the beautiful pieces of history. Some of these pieces are 50-100 years old and would have come from old bottles discarded in dumps or thrown from ships. No two pieces of sea glass are the same, which makes them truly unique in nature, each revealing a distinct color, texture and shape. Each of these colorful collectible sea shore, one of a kind gems are hand selected for our unique jewelry. We transform the pieces of sea glass into striking earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and accessories that are one of a kind heirlooms.
Our sea glass jewelry showcases a variety of natural sea glass colors combined with unique charms, beads and natural elements. We like to work with bone, abalone, wood, glass, shells, seeds and paper. I like African and Czech glass. Our favorite metals are copper and sterling silver. Cabochons encapsulate the setting and allow us to share our photography work in special necklaces with secret hideaways.

"At this point my grandfather was well into his eighties, and after a long visit with him one weekend, I decided to do a TV show in his honor. Today, Dirty Jobs is still on the air, and I am here before this committee, hoping to say something useful. So, here it is.
"I believe we need a national PR Campaign for Skilled Labor. A big one. Something that addresses the widening Skills Gap head on, and reconnects the country with the most important part of our workforce.
"Right now, American manufacturing is struggling to fill 200,000 vacant positions. There are 450,000 openings in trades, transportation and utilities. The Skills Gap is real, and it's getting wider. In Alabama, a third of all skilled tradesmen are over 55. They're retiring fast, and no one is there to replace them.
"Alabama's not alone. A few months ago in Atlanta I ran into Tom Vilsack, our Secretary of Agriculture. Tom told me about a governor who was unable to move forward on the construction of a power plant. The reason was telling. It wasn't a lack of funds. It wasn't a lack of support. It was a lack of qualified welders.
"In general, we're surprised that high unemployment can exist at the same time as a skilled labor shortage. We shouldn't be. We've pretty much guaranteed it.
"In high schools, the vocational arts have all but vanished. We've elevated the importance of "higher education" to such a lofty perch, that all other forms of knowledge are now labeled "alternative." Millions of parents and kids see apprenticeships and on-the-job-training opportunities as "vocational consolation prizes," best suited for those not cut out for a four-year degree. And still, we talk about millions of "shovel ready" jobs for a society that doesn't encourage people to pick up a shovel.
"In a hundred different ways, we have slowly marginalized an entire category of critical professions, reshaping our expectations of a "good job" into something that no longer looks like work. A few years from now, an hour with a good plumber – if you can find one – is going to cost more than an hour with a good psychiatrist. At which point we'll all be in need of both.
"I came here today because guys like my grandfather are no less important to civilized life than they were 50 years ago. Maybe they're in short supply because we don't acknowledge them they way we used to. We leave our check on the kitchen counter, and hope the work gets done. That needs to change.
