Rugs on the Porch
We've looked at rugs in unexpected places before, but how about out on the porch? Even just a painted rug makes even an outdoor hangout feel like a cozy living space:
Painted "rugs" can take on any size and pattern you need, and they wear just like, well, a painted porch floor. Actual rugs may bring a softer and more comfortable feeling to the porch, but they'll be tougher to clean and maintain. Either way, we love the introduction of a little extra color and texture in this unexpected location.

Love Nicole's porch in the first picture! Kind of hoping our back porch will take on a similar vibe when we get it finished.
Are you sure those rugs aren't just laying out to dry in the last picture? But seriously, I love rugs on porches and those recycled plastic woven rugs you can buy for that purpose are nice.
I have a small house with a wonderful screen porch. Adding an outdoor carpet expanded the feel of the house and makes the porch the favorite "room". I highly recommend it.
I really love the first photo! I'd love to do a painted rug on our deck, but alas, I think that'd go against the condo bylaws. But I am on the lookout for a good outdoor rug. Anyone have any ideas for ones that aren't super expensive?
SLourdes, World Market had a really good selection when I was in there last week - reasonable prices, none (even large ones) were over $60 or so.
Overstocks has some nice, reasonable indoor/outdoor rugs as well.
Thanks for including my porch! Makes me wish for warmer weather so I can get out there and enjoy it again.
There's always the floorcloth option, too, don't forget! Canvas with the ends turned under and glued, with painted/stencilled designs on it, then varnished for the waterseal.
The most beautiful 'rug on porch' picture i've seen is Catherine Martin's lace rug: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/property/home-magazine/back-in-black-is-back/story-e6freff3-1225704325227
love it!

Garnet red is the most common color for beets. However, their color can range from white to deep purple-red. Try the Chioggia, or candy cane beet, which has alternating rings of red and white.
Developed in Denmark, Havarti is a semisoft, pale yellow cheese marked with small irregular holes. The mild, buttery flavor of Havarti contrasts well with the sweetness of the beets and sharpness of mustard in this salad.
To enhance the flavor and texture of the walnuts in this salad, toast them in a 350°F. oven until they are golden, about 10 minutes. Let the toasted walnuts cool completely before adding them to the salad.

He is the author of five books including The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volumes I & II, Living in the Heart and Serpent of Light. His latest, which is available November 25th, is The Mayan Ouroboros December 21, 2012.

Merry. Christmas.
I love Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child! This shirt came from a trip I made to North Carolina to work in the Samaritan's Purse warehouse to help pack shoe boxes to go all over the world. These boxes are full of toys, schools supplies, and hygiene items for boys and girls of all ages from all over the world. I loved stuffed animals as a kid so one of my favorite things to include in the shoe box is a build-a-bear stuffed animal. It feels my heart with joy to think about a sweet little girl pulling her new friend out of the box. You should consider putting a box together. Here's the info: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/ My heart beats right with Samaritan's Purse. The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) shows us how we are to love the last and the least in the world. Samaritan's Purse helps meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. While I do not know what it is to physically suffer, I do know what it is to be without hope. Jesus has shown me great love and given me hope and I want to do the same in the lives of others.

Should We Follow Robert Karr Into This Stock?
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Robert Karr, one of the Tiger Cubs, who learned investing knowledge from famous investor Julian Robertson, managed to deliver sweet annualized returns of more than 22% during the period of 1999-2010. With more than $900 million in total assets under management, he holds a concentrated portfolio with only 14 stocks.
In the first quarter of 2013, he accumulated shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), a global semiconductor company. As of March 2013, he owned more than 8.5 million shares in the company, representing about 9.4% of his total portfolio. Should we follow him into Micron Technology at its current trading price? Let's find out.
Business snapshot
Micron Technology is a global manufacturer of semiconductors including NAND Flash, DRAM, and NOR Flash memory, operating in four business segments: NAND Solutions Group (NSG), DRAM Solutions Group (DSG), Wireless Solutions Group (WSG), and Embedded Solutions Group (ESG).
The majority of its sales, $2.85 billion, or 34.6% of total 2012 revenue, was generated from the NSG segment. The DSG segment ranked second with $2.69 billion in revenue. The ESG segment contributed the lowest revenue of only $1 billion in 2012. However, there were only two profitable segments in 2012. They were the NSG and the ESG segments, with $198 million and $156 million in operating profit, respectively, while the DSG and WSG segments produced losses of $500 million and $370 million, respectively.
Negative net income but good cash flow
In terms of customers, 25% of its total revenue was derived from sales to computing (including desktop PCs, notebooks, servers), while consumer electronics ranked second, accounting for 20% of the total revenue. The mobile division represented around 15% of the total sales in 2012.
In 2012, Micron generated around $8.23 billion in revenue but a net loss of more than $1 billion. The net loss was due to a 45% drop in gross profit and a 16% increase in R&D expense. However, its operating cash flow stayed strong at more than $2.1 billion while free cash flow reached $415 million in 2012.
Micron becomes the third largest NAND flash memory maker
According to DRAMeXchange, in 2012, Samsung (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF) was still the global leading player in NAND flash memory with nearly $7.3 billion in revenue, accounting for 38.2% of the total market. Toshiba ranked second with a 27.9% market share. Micron has surpassed SK Hynix to stand in the third place with a 13.9% NAND memory market share. Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stood at the fifth place as it generated only $1.54 billion in revenue from NAND flash memory, accounting for 8.1% of the total market.
At around $9 per share, Micron is worth around $9.6 billion on the market. The market values Micron at 7.7 times EV/EBITDA and 1.4 times its book value. Compared to its much bigger peers, including Samsung and Intel, Micron is the most expensively valued company.
Samsung is the biggest company, with around $180 billion in total market cap. At $1,380 per share, Samsung is valued at only 4 times EV/EBITDA and 1.72 times its book value. Recently, Samsung announced that it began to mass-produce a 128 Gb, 3bit multi-level-cell NAND memory chip, strengthening the capacities of future high-density memory solutions.
Intel is trading at nearly $22 per share, with a total market cap of around $108.5 billion. The market values Intel at only 4.65 times EV/EBITDA and 2.12 times its book value. Interestingly, Intel and Micron have extended the joint development program between themselves and expanded it to include emerging memory technologies. Both companies have already had several agreements with each other in terms of NAND flash memory products supply, Intellectual Property, and R&D funding related to non-volatile memory manufacturing.
Among the three, income investors might choose Intel, as it is the only company that pays dividends. At its current price, Intel's dividend yield is quite juicy at 4.2%.
My Foolish take
Among the three, I prefer the big players such as Samsung and Intel, as they have a lot of resources to fund R&D for new technologies. Both Samsung and Intel look pretty cheap with their low valuation. Income investors could get a sweet dividend yield of 4.2% when investing in Intel at its current price.

The Mauldin Public Works director was dismissed from his job following his arrest in August, according to the mayor.
In August, William Greg Fincher, 51, was accused of not allowing a woman who was applying for a job to leave the public works building.
Mauldin police arrested Fincher and charged him with kidnapping.
The woman told police Fincher gave her beer during a job interview then would not let her leave the property.
The warrant states that the woman got away Thursday by climbing an 8-foot chain link fence. The warrant said the woman hurt her hand in climbing the fence.
Mayor Dennis Raines said Fincher was placed on administrative leave following his arrest and then dismissed on Aug. 30.
The city is currently looking to fill the director position by October.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Dascal Chariff has been an entrepreneur all her life.
Born in Cuba and raised in Miami Beach, she started her first business when she was 21. Her mantra: "Seeing what is the next big thing and capitalizing on that."
In September 2013, Dascal Chariff was named chairman of Continental National Bank, the business her late father founded in 1974 as the nation's first Cuban American-owned bank. The oldest of three siblings, Dascal Chariff had served on the bank's board for 10 years.
Now, as she carries on her father's legacy, she is bringing her entrepreneurial spirit to the bank, modernizing it, enhancing its technology and expanding its branch network.
"I am by nature a marketing person," she said. "It's bringing a different dynamic to the institution."
We met with Dascal Chariff in the conference room of the Little Havana-based bank, and then emailed her these questions, to which she responded.
Q. Please tell me about the history of Continental National Bank.
A. Our family left Cuba in 1961 and settled in Miami. As a struggling immigrant, my father always had it in his mind to help his community, and in 1974 he founded Continental National Bank as the first Cuban-American bank in the nation. The first branch was opened in Little Havana (where it remains to this day), catering to exiles like himself who were trying to make it in this country.
We have many success stories of original customers, who are still with us today, that Continental National Bank helped to establish and grow their businesses. We currently have seven branches with more to come soon, and this year I am proud to say we are celebrating our 40th anniversary!
Q. What is the focus of the bank's operations and clientele?
A. Continental National Bank has always focused on the local community. We have many customers who we helped in the 1970s that have become pillars of the community, and now we service the second generation of these original customers.
We thrive on helping small businesses get the capital they need to expand and grow. We are now focusing on informing customers who rent to explore the opportunity of buying their facilities, in this low-interest environment, and build their equity by owning their office or warehouse buildings.
Continental National Bank is top-rated on SBA loans, again, as a focus to service small business owners. As chairman, I would also like to focus on female-owned companies and helping women to secure SBA loans for their business needs. Our strength historically has been commercial real estate and business lines of credit; we are now aggressively expanding into residential mortgages.
Q. How has the bank grown over the years?
A. We have grown by focusing within the community we serve, commitment to our employees and doing it better than most. Many of our employees, including members of our executive management team, have been with us for decades. Our president, Guillermo Diaz-Rousselot, has been with us for 38 of our 40 years.
We have weathered several recessions by following sensible lending practices and understanding our customers. Of course, you need to have the products and the technology to level the playing field. We also believe that even though technology is a great source for deposit growth, it's our branches that keep our customer base loyal to us. And so, we will continue to expand our footprint accordingly.
Q. How did the bank weather the recession?
A. We are generally conservative yet forward thinking. This general mantra is what made Continental National Bank survive, unscathed, the financial downturn and debacle of 2008. We recognized the early warning signs: oversupply, condo-flipping, inflated prices, and simply stayed away from those high risk loans, or if we did finance we requested large equity positions from the borrower.
We are safe and secure, and I can honestly say to my closest friends that "our institution is a safe place to keep your money." In fact, Continental National Bank is rated with a five star "superior" rating by BauerFinancial.
Q. You have an entrepreneurial family. Please tell me about your family members and their business ventures.
A. I am the oldest of three sisters. Growing up, my father really never encouraged us to work, but it seems that genetics prevailed and there was no holding us back.
My middle sister, Karla, owns the premier event production company, KARLA Conceptual Event Experiences. It is one of the most sought-after event design companies in Miami. She will soon be opening a wellness center and gourmet raw vegan restaurant and academy called White Lotus, the first of its kind in Miami.
Liz, my youngest sister, owns Contemporary art+design, an interior design and art consulting company. She has been charged with redesigning and refreshing our branches to meet our new branding objectives.
Of course, I am compelled to mention that our family is in the car business as well. We own South Motors, Vista Motors and Midway Ford. In fact, my husband Jonathan has been running these dealerships for 15 years. We are all big BMW fans, as you can well imagine!
Q. Please tell me about your own professional background.
A. I've been involved in a variety of businesses throughout my career. For me, it's about identifying trends, seeing what the next big thing is, and capitalizing on it.
For 16 years, I've run a distribution company in Latin America, primarily Colombia, serving as the exclusive distributor for top name hair care and skincare products such as TIGI Beadhead, Bliss Products, iS Clinical Skincare, among others.
Before that, I was in the recreational/sporting goods industry with products that included in-line skates, skateboards, footwear and apparel.
I started my first business, Promo Advertising, at age 21, selling advertising specialties and promotional giveaways. You could really call me a serial entrepreneur.
Q. How did you get involved in the bank?
A. I have actually served on the board for the past 10 years and my father had always told me "Jacqueline, one day this will be yours and you must learn about it. Get to know the people and learn to help your community." And so yes, I guess Papito was right, and in fact it was my destiny to ultimately continue his legacy.
Q. How are you bringing your entrepreneurial spirit to Continental National Bank?
A. I'm a marketing person by nature. I think that my own experiences in the business world, building companies in many different sectors, and the mindset of the small and mid-sized business owner helps me better understand our own clients' needs and requirements.
I have a teenager that keeps me on the cutting edge of technology and what's new and relevant to the next generation. I plan on taking Continental National Bank into the future and beyond in terms of technology.
Since taking the helm, I've been involved in the rebranding of the name and look, the launch of our new website that is not only beautiful but very easy to navigate and functional. We will soon be developing our mobile app, so exciting things are soon to come! Stay tuned…
Q. How do you envision the future of the bank?
A. We'll continue to stay true to our cultural and traditional banking roots while evolving with the market and our clients, and casting a wider net. In addition to refining our look and digital functionality, we have a renewed business strategy that includes three new branches to open in Doral, South Miami and Wynwood.
We've developed a partnership with Florida International University on a financial education program to educate students on the tools and resources available to them so they can make smart, financially informed decisions.
It's an exciting time, and Miami is booming and growing at an incredible rate. There is unlimited opportunity, and we are looking to support our community in the steady evolution of this culturally diverse town.

text: A Fort Worth Solid Brick and Flat-Roof Ranch April 18, 2014 PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD "We'd been eyeing the place for 20 years and always said we would live there one day," says the owner of a house perched high on a bluff above Forth Worth. With the deal finally sealed, she and her husband quickly assembled a crack team to handle the remodel, starting with interior designer Joseph Minton, who had worked with the couple on two previous homes. "Joe knew the architect, Ralph Duesing, and Ralph had worked with builder Brad Deering, so we immediately formed a great group that already knew us and how we live," she says. The trio also shared the couple's enthusiasm for the merits of the 1960s solid brick and flat-roof ranch. Duesing was delighted with the home's structure: "It's a modern house that was built well in the first place," says the architect. And Minton, who collaborated with associate Paula Lowes on the project, appreciated the workable framework. "The house had a great layout, expansive rooms and all these wonderfully tall ceilings," he recalls. There was immediate accord on what did need to change, beginning with the removal of a balcony that ran the length of the back of the house, totally obscuring the 7-acre property's all-encompassing vistas of the Trinity River Valley below. "There was also no usable outdoor entertaining spaces," says Duesing, who received thumbs ups all around for his decision to cantilever a deck off the rear of the lower level of the house to remedy that shortcoming.

I have really valued having my son in preschool at Camelback Desert School! The program has him more than ready to continue on to the Kindergarten program on so many levels. The staff are all so kind and nurturing, not just his classroom teachers. They address many different areas of his development; academics, social and emotional. He is happy to come to school everyday!
Great summer camp experience for my twin 7th graders! Lots of fun activities, swimming, and field trips!
CDS has been such a blessing to our family, but more importantly our Son. He was attending another school that was not meeting our sons needs. CDS teachers and staff has gone above and beyond meeting our sons needs and our expectations for education. He is attending summer camp and has already jumped leaps and bounds on so many levels. I appreciate that the principal is visible and you can reach out to her as well.
My eight year-old son is attending the Camelback Desert School summer camp for the second year in a row and absolutely loves his camp! In the summer of 2012, I signed him up for three weeks. We realized within the first week that this is a great "fit" for him so we made sure we scheduled him there for the whole summer of 2013. The staff is caring and (properly) attentive. Everyone calls him by name when I drop him off and pick him up. The program is stimulating and enriching. He is getting a fun summer education in model building, cooking, dance, computers and other activities. Heck, he even loves the food! He'll be back for 2014!
Camelback Desert is by far the best elementary school I have ever encountered. I have two college age children also and have experienced every grade and every kind of school. With a current Camelback Desert 2nd grader, I can say with confidence that this is a school that every other school, private or public should eminate. After a challenging year in public 1st grade, my daughter was bored, unchallenged, and generally unexcited about school. Camelback Desert has erased all of that and provided an environment that makes my daughter enjoy school again. She is happy, wants to go to school (even when she is sick), loves her teacher and classmates, is challenged, and most of all has fun learning. The individualized approach and small class sizes, along with the superior administration really makes this school one of a kind. The art and music classes are superb, along with all of the after school classes. If you are weighing the cost of private school versus public, this school is well worth every penny and more. Your children will not get a better, balanced and fun education anywhere else. The principal is more involved then I have seen anywhere and he is great at it!
We just enrolled our son for his 8th year at this school. This is the kind of school environment that I wish every child could have. He and his classmates have excelled academically while being able to be kids. The school fosters well rounded growth through fantastic enrichment teachers, cross cultural activities, students from other countries, service opportunities, art shows, musical performances, sports, etc. His classmates are a diverse group yet have developed deep friendships. The overall atmosphere is positive and supportive.
We wanted an environment that would allow our children to be challenged emotionally, intellectually and socially. CDS has the special ability to recognize the students as individuals and adjust the learning process to maximize the potential of the individual student. This is done in a warm and caring environment with a staff that is creative and innovative. This type of atmosphere has helped instill confidence in our children and has allowed them to flourish. As parents we cannot thank CDS staff enough for keeping our children safe and giving them the confidence to expand their comfort zone and challenge themselves to become better. We have enjoyed becoming part of the CDS family and interacting with the other families through different school events. We take great comfort dropping our children off at CDS knowing they are in an environment where they are nurtured and valued.
I have two children currently attending CDS and I couldn't be happier. After touring many public and private schools in the area, the support and education provided is unparalleled. My oldest son has Autism and the staff at Camelback have been like a second family to us, adjusting to our needs and creating a safe yet still challenging environment. The small class sizes are wonderful. My daughter will be starting in the two-year-old Beginners class next year and it's comforting that the entire school already knows her name. The special classes are remarkable, especially the art program. I know my kids are receiving the very best curriculum and teachers in the valley.
I cannot say enough good things about CDS. From the minute my twins started pre-K with Susie Morton through summer camp and into kindergarten with Vici Bernstein, I have been delighted with the commitment the faculty and administrators have to helping each child grow and develop academically and socially. My children learn in very different ways, and they both have flourished in the school. They know things I am pretty sure I didn't learn until later in elementary school. The teachers and administrators are wonderful about communicating with parents one on one to make sure we are all on the same page about progress, individual goals, and school events. As an admittedly somewhat picky parent, I am thrilled with the school.
We love CDS! It is always amazing to me to see how different people can see the same people different ways. . We are so pleased with Mark, Katie and Jean, the administrative staff. They have been so kind to our whole family this last year and we are excited to have a wonderful new year starting in a few weeks! The school keeps getting better.... This can only happen with an attentive, approachable and hard working administrative team. We are more than pleased with the teachers and specialty teachers alike. We are so happy here.
My sons went to the summer camp this year and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff is fantastic. The curriculum is full of great programs. I especially like that they do so much swimming but all of the other activities are great. My sons are sad to see summer camp end and so are we. We will definitely be back next year.
Good morning Jean, First let me say a very large thank you to you and all that made our time at CDS so magnificent! Gianna excelled at a rate we would not find anywhere else! Ms. Morton as her last teacher for 4's pre-k is the most nurturing and inspiring teacher I have seen especially for this age. I could not be more grateful. Thank you and very best wishes to all of you! You make a beautiful difference in this world!
Such a great camp experience! Our kids (two are attending) have had so much fun at CDS Camp this summer. Our kids are excited to go every day and the staff is exceptionally nice! We loved the format of the children being able to choose classes this year and try out so many different things like field trips, karate, video production, chess, yoga...and the list goes on. It has been great to have them 'test out' the many different classes to see where their interests are. Now I know what my children are really interested in and can put them in more full time classes this fall. I'm not sure what the negative response below is for about Summer Camp, our experience has been 100% positive I'm sure any front desk person can appear crabby when 100's of requests are thrown at her at once. We have had nothing but good experiences with her and all the front office staff. I wish we could afford this school year round. We will be back next summer!
Summer Camp. Horrible. Operates like a cheap day care. Terribley disorganized. Crabby front office lady. They need to focus on making their classes more charactor based. Everyday, I would enter to pick child up - kids were all scattered about, doing seperate stuff. This is how a preschool class should run: This is about teaching kids to connect with each other. Whole group does projects together. Greet other children when they arrive, say goodbye when each other leaves. They were all so disconnected - it was scarey! I should have known this would be bad - the first day, I was expecting to drop him off in a classroom to meet our new friends and was told to drop them off at the playground. There was no teacher to meet. After 2 weeks and a request "not to go back there", because, "the kids just played by themselves and were mean" - we pulled him out! And this is NOT our first school, we had been happy at other places,this was just a new place to try. When I discussed this with their director, my concerns were completely dismissed, I was told my child seemed fine. I said I don't know you from Adam, but your program needs to be improved. Take from it what you will.
Our entire experience with Camelback Desert School has been positive and professional. The staff is friendly and supportive. The parent teacher organization is welcoming, and actively involved in providing fun learning and social experiences for the entire school. CDS also provides increased arts and extra-curricular classes that are comprehensive, and taught by organized and experienced teachers (Public Schools are more limited). We believe CDS offers high quality teachers, with exceptional academic opportunities, and we are pleased with our choice to join the CDS family.
Camelback Desert School is the kind of school everyone dreams they went to as a kid. It has a Montessori feel in terms of focusing on individual learning, character development and the overall home-like feel to the campus itself, yet ensures all students are meeting or exceeding National standards. All students have the same basic requirements at each grade level, but teachers inspire and encourage their students to find and use their own interests to further expand their knowledge. The special area teachers are phenomenal and clearly love their fields of interest, which shows in their teaching. The principal has a personal relationship with each student and works very hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable and happy in every aspect of their education. He has an open door policy to both students and parents and has a very welcoming personality. All staff members at Camelback Desert school make it a mission to get to know all students throughout the school and are clearly invested in them. It's clear that the staff want their students to live up to their true potential both academically and socially. I would highly recommend this school! ~parent of a 6th grader
Love this school! Very non snobby atmosphere with incredible integrated learning. The staff is genuinely motivated to make the students feel like it's home. The small class sizes allow for top notch student/teacher interaction. Camelback Desert is very progressive, accepting and diverse in comparison; We looked at all the private schools in the Phoenix are and this one is a jewel; just really refreshing and one of a kind!
Love this school! We have been a part of Camelback Desert School for years. In fact many family members attended when I was a child. That says a lot for a school to stick around for such a long time.I'm very involved and have watched the school suffer in the last few years. They let go in May of the last principal as she was just not able to be what the school needed to excel. She was unprofessional and not a good leader. The assistant principal has done a wonderful job as interim principal. I've been impressed with her dedication. Gratefully, we have a NEW PRINCIPAL!! From my interactions with him so far, I'm totally impressed. He is warm, sincere, caring and listened to everything I shared with the true intent of hearing my thoughts. His resume and background is impressive, a true refreshment to the school. I know this school will continue in the course of amazing growth, excelling academics and what its known for, its close knit family environment where the administration and teachers care about my children with intention of knowing them as if they were their own. Feels like the school is getting back to its roots. I'm more than thrilled!!
The members of the Camelback Desert family look forward to a rejuvenating and constructive academic year. Positive decisions have already taken place under the new direction and new leadership. Leadership skills and consistency that the previous principal lacked are already present in the new administration. Enrollment has increased since her absence. Families and highly qualified staff members have remained faithful to this school for years. The few parents who have left must be unaware of just how unprofessional and ineffective the previous principal was. The atmosphere on campus is now vibrant and professional. What a relief...
The teachers and staff have been very easy to work with Ms. Morton in the 4 year old class is just fantastic. The kids love PE and swimming, art, and science programs!

See our article in the October issue of Missouri Life
Sassafras Valley Farm Embden geese are raised from hatching to maturity on free range and natural pasture on our farm in the valley of the Gasconade River.
In many cases, the phrase "free range" implies a combination of limited access to natural forage coupled with a significant amount of supplemental food from other sources.
However, at Sassafras Valley Farm we raise our geese on free range and natural pasture in the same traditional way that domesticated waterfowl have been raised since their original descent from their ancestors several thousand years BC.
At Sassafras Valley Farm, our philosophy is to minimize reliance on supplemental outside food sources through a combination of "Low Impact Sustainable Agriculture" (LISA) practices and scientific natural pasture planting and rotation processes.
Sassafras Valley Farm geese are raised at a population density of less than 36 per acre in a chemical free, pesticide free and hormone free environment. Our fields are carefully planted in forage that reflects their foods of origin and the local microclimate.
Sassafras Valley Farm geese thrive on a diet of pure artesian well water, natural grasses, clover, trefoil, dandelion, and crabgrass. To add variety and nutrition, we also supply them with our own seasonal vegetables, fruits and grains. Every step is taken to provide a steady diet of seasonal, all natural, and balanced nutrition.
Predator control (typically coyotes, feral dogs, and hawks) is accomplished through the efforts of several Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs rather than by trapping or poisoning.
Due to our unique husbandry practices, Sassafras Valley Farm geese are significantly lower in fat than other commercially raised domesticated waterfowl resulting in a distinctively rich flavor and texture.
Holiday Goose has been a centuries-old tradition in many cultures. Unfortunately in the United States availability of dressed geese for Holiday meals has become limited due to the difficulty of raising them in high density confinement.
In addition to fresh frozen whole dressed Embden geese we are also offering whole smoked geese, precooked and ready to serve after thawing or reheating.
All Sassafras Valley Farm geese are humanely processed in a USDA certified facility and available frozen for shipment throughout the United States and through retail outlets at selected sites in the Hermann and Saint Louis Missouri area.

More From the Crow's Nest
Following on from my discussions with Andrew Robinson, then leader of the Pirate Party UK, I have had a brief exchange with his successor, Loz Kaye. Thanks to both for being prepared to come to what is surely foreign territory and give their views.
I have - as you might imagine - questions and disagreements I'd love to pursue, but that's a conversation which will run and run over the next few decades. So here you are: more from the Crow's Nest.
What models exist for creatives to make money without a right to withhold use of their material?
I'll come to the question of money that occupies the minds of all of us who work in the creative industries further on. I think you bring up a key question that is at the heart of how 21st century culture is developing: we are shifting from a witholding model to a sharing model. One of the most obvious examples is social media- certainly much trivia is exchanged- but used well, there is a huge flood of free information being passed on: comments, links to sites and blogs. The internet means that we expect to have access all areas, whether it is from instant updates on the fleeting fame of celebrities to the explosive revelations of Wikileaks. That something accrues value simply because one hides it now seems at best quaint, at worst perversely against the nature of the times.
The truth is that witholding provokes piracy. In particular the labarynthine nature of rights agreements is in fact preventing willing customers paying for content. Things like Digital Rights Management and region coding should have no place in current business models. I am constantly having conversations with people frustrated by how they have been prevented from buying tracks, TV content or films they would quite happily pay for. So, for example, Season 5 of the wittily written series Dexter has been running in the US, season 4 has been running here in the UK, and the DVD of season 3 has recently come out with Europe region coding. Yet, social media [are] full of comments about season 5- the Facebook fan page available world wide promoting the latest episodes. No wonder people throw up their hands in frustration and go to Pirate Bay and download it. Trends in media move very fast these days, and the current IP status quo is not allowing creatives to take advantage of the opportunities.
Indeed, the channels that are seen as legitimate, with the advent of the digital age have made things worse than they were even a decade or two ago. For example I have just got a new mac laptop this year. Upon transferring my iTunes content, a warning came up on one of my (legally!) downloaded tunes that I could only play it on a maximum of 5 devices. Imagine a book you could only open 5 times then it burst in to flames!
I can only urge your readers to insist that the book trade does not go down this route. People are consuming media as never before, and they want to help you by sharing their enthusiasm and taste with other readers. The more barriers you put up, the more you will alienate and turn readers against you.
[I wondered whether it was possible to persuade people of the need for strong privacy on one hand, while removing IP protection on the other; it seems to me the two are inextricably bound up.] Surely trying to tell people on the one hand that some information should be theirs (privacy) and at the same time that other information should be freely exchangeable (media) isn't going to fly?
I understand how this creates confusion, but this comparison is a false one, and one that is important to debunk. We all understand very well the distinction between our private sphere, and the public sphere. I want Manchester council to tell me about local parks, but not list my basil plants on my balcony on their website. To make arguments about one sphere citing the other is not useful, or even correct. I think the writers I know understand this better than most- they are always being asked about their books 'Is it this character based on you?' and so forth. The answer is of course even if it has autobiographical origins, it is a work of fiction intented for the public sphere.
On this subject, I would point out that it is Pirate Party UK that has the most robust view on protecting personal privacy. In the current strategic defence review the policy idea of maintaining all records of internet, phone and mobile traffic has been revived. We are the only party that has been clearly speaking out against this.
How much would you want to weaken IP on an electronic edition of a novel, and exactly how do you see an author - never mind a publisher or a retailer - making money from it?
I see our plans for shifting the copyright time limit as an upgrade, not a weakening. The current excessive copyright periods mean that inevitably the focus is on finding the big monolithic product that can generate income for decades, the Dan Brown syndorme. This neither helps the vast majority of people wanting to make a living from writing, nor the health of our shared literary culture. As it happens, the idea that restrictive IP policy relates to restricted growth is beginning to be accepted by mainstream politicians. In a recent announcement relating to promoting East London as a tech innovation hub, the Prime Minister announced a review of copyright law as a necessary part of the process of facilitating the conditions for creative industries ready for the digital era.
I understand that the serious advent of e-books may be causing a certain amount of nervousness amongst writers. However, once all the iPads and Kindles have been unpacked under the Christmas tree this year, my prediction is that the trend towards electronic written content will be inexorable. This will lead to upheaval, and certainties being turned upsidedown whether we like it or not, or whether IP is aggressively policed or not. It is worth reflecting that new technology has constantly been treated with suspicion, or out and out hostility. The written word survived the photocopier after all.
A time of transformation offers new opportunities. Never has it been so possible for creative people to directly contact the fanbase who want to support them, through websites, social media and direct sales. The site Bandcamp I mentioned before shows it is possible to make an income stream by offering content with a variety of payment models- pay what you think its worth, free and fixed price. This mixing of price models allows fans to access material, and get to know work, rather than feeling fenced off or under attack for liking culture.
All of us making money from our "brainwork" need to bear in mind that we are competing with free- whether there are myriad copies of our work circulating or not. We must accept that we have to be creative in attracting people to our work over, say, all of John Donne's poetry online, or that free DVD with the Daily Mail.
I am, frankly, less concerned about the fate of publishers and retailers, as these are old economy jobs focused on physical product which will become less relevant. I do not see that it is the purpose of intellectual property law to be commandeered for protecting of oldfashioned business methods. Any more than patents were invoked to protect the ice trade against fridges.
How does your approach (to IP) help?
Our approach supports writers in a crucial way by incentivising turnover and amount of product, rather than stagnation. Where there is a limited time for publishers to make a profit, they will be compelled to nurture talent and work harder to maximise income. Also we must not forget the sector funded by the taxpayer via the Arts Council, local government and other initiatives. The real assault on creatives in the UK this year has not been by pirates, but by deep cuts to arts budgets. Every cultural pound is now precious. Yet in my work in theatre I know that an infuriating amount of these resources go to supporting dead writers still in copyright and their agents and hangers on. I would rather this money went to living playwrights.
We find ourselves at a crossroads- of going towards a cultural policy where the needs of artists and fans are balanced, or where there is ever more poisonous confrontation between the two, where only lawyers are the real winners. The music industry, and ...well... the porn industry have shown where the latter leads. Threatening letters from solicitors are even now being sent out to internet users, with innocent people accused, sometimes of the most embarrasing and ridiculous of suggestions of what content has been obtained. In all analyses, the largest part of income of such actions ends up with the lawyers. Larger scale attempts to police IP such as the Digital Economy Act threaten to cut off households from the internet- collective punishment, and hand the power of censorship of certain sites to the government. It was this that lead me to be active in the Pirate Party- it seems utterly antithetical to everything I represent as a creative person.
I do believe the policy of balance and, that much abused word in contemporary politics, fairness, is possible. I am not optimistic. But even in the process of dialogue with sites like yours, I am hopeful.
Everything changes, but at once it is all the same. The French I think have the best expression for this.
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. Revolutions were always thus.
Some things which were products in the 20th century are becoming services in the 21st century (recorded media vs live performance) a reversal back to how media worked before recording was possible. Other things are happening which we haven't anticipated or envisaged; we can't say where these will lead us in future.
I've been lucky enough to work with Loz as part of the PPUK effort; I notice he mentions Bandcamp and I'd like therefore to mention my favourite upcoming artist/track that I listen to on there, not for any directly political purpose but simply as an example of how this works in real life:
I found their music through Amazing Radio in the UK; today I have more free and independent music to listen to than I have time for or ever imagined possible; the rock scene I used to follow in the 1980s has changed and evolved, but from what I can see creativity goes from strength to strength, and a great deal of it is based on the new-found freedom to share, develop, and create, on a scale never previously possible.

These bags are great. They're tough, lightweight, and offer trustworthy protection for my drums. I have rims mounts on my drums and they fit in the bags without a problem. These bags are a great value. If you plan on moving your drums around, don't wait till you put a scratch in them, buy these bags now, you won't regret it. The other thing thats nice about these is that you can fit them all one inside the other when not in use and squish them into a corner somewhere. ;)
My Tama starcast rims fit like a glove into my fusion bag set. I have the custom finish so it really protects from nicks and dings during transport. Extremely pleased with the value and quality of these bags. I would buy these again. I trust the bag to protect the drums and finish.
These bags are a great investment. They are well padded to protect the drums compared to other drum bags I have seen. They may not be expensive, but they are worth more than what they cost.
Gator bags are of very high quality and well padded. It's the best deal on drum bags for less than a C-note. Tough, cordura denier that travels well and sports a hot logo. You can't beat them.
A little harder to put drums in then a hard shell case but they are very inexpensive and the material is heavy and padded. Can not beat them for the $.

History of the Motion Display
Berg's cases were more successful than he ever imagined. Tied flies and fishing lures were displayed in his first models. These very small and traditionally difficult to merchandise flies were perfect for his "revolver" showcase as his customers called it. The customer was invited to operate a switch which caused the display to rotate forward or in reverse while selecting an item. Multiple trays which revolved in a vertical motion held over 400 different varieties of flies and lures. The merchandise was in perfect order, safe from pilferage yet readily view able by the customer. Simultaneously the product was easily accessible to the store clerk. This new style of showcase, which evolved into the "Berg Selector" netted Berg a 500% increase in sales.
