Common Craft Show Mistakes & Simple Solutions to Sell More

Craft show mistakes can be costly. They not only harm your sales the day of the event, they can also harm your brand and get in the way of future sales.

There are a lot of elements that go into selling at a craft show and perfecting each one can take years. But you can sell at your very first craft show successfully and learn from others’ craft show mistakes.

Yes, I’m talking about my costly mistakes. I was the poster child for a craft show don’t when I started out. But having spent over a decade selling and shopping at craft shows, adjusting and critiquing booths, I’ve discovered the staples of a good vendor booth and the mistakes to avoid.

These are 5 areas you may be making mistakes in and hurting your sales at craft shows.

Craft show mistakes not only harm your sales that day, they can also harm your brand and get in the way of future sales. Be sure to avoid these big mistakes

I love using analogies so let’s imagine EOS (a strong brand I reference frequently) as a small handmade business, debuting their products at a craft show. These are made up scenarios to help you see how a major lip balm brand may have flopped at a craft show because of these mistakes, or succeeded by doing the opposite.

This article covers a brief outline of the solutions to these mistakes and if you’re looking for more details, you’ll find everything you need to know about making the best impression possible at craft shows in my e-book: MAKE MORE MONEY AT CRAFT FAIRS. I’ve noted the Chapter each solution is covered under so you can check out the Chapter outline by following the link.

And every great craft show table starts with great handmade products so our sample chapter MAKING PRODUCTS THAT PROFIT is a must read. Free to download and available instantly; just enter your email after following the link below 🙂

This is probably the most common mistake among craft show vendors and I’ve definitely been guilty of it myself. We’re creative creatures and want to show off just how crafty we can get. But when you’re constantly changing or expanding your offering, it makes it really hard to build a strong brand.

EOS has created their signature pod shaped lip balms and are launching them at a craft show. But they also made shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, hand soap, foot cream and face cream to sell, in hopes they reach a wider audience and make more sales.

They have a hard time displaying their products because there isn’t a cohesive theme to them. They group each type of product together and hope craft show shoppers will work their way through the selection (instead of drawing their attention to a specific product or collection).

The craft show shoppers are most interested in their lip balm but at the end of the day, EOS didn’t notice because they only stocked a few of each product and therefore their sales were scattered across the board.

They also have a hard time standing out at the craft show since shoppers don’t notice anything unique about their products. There are a couple other vendors selling handmade bath and body items so craft show shoppers don’t feel as though the need to buy from EOS. It’s more a matter of price and convenience.

EOS decides to debut just their lip balms at the craft show but offer a variety of flavours. Their limited product selection allows them to focus on all the details that make their brand unique. Their colorful pod shaped packaging is used for both their lip balms and hand creams and their products are marketed towards customers interested in organic ingredients.

They created three different flavors/scents for their product which makes it really easy to create a craft show display and direct shoppers’ attention towards one collection at a time. Mint comes in turquoise packaging, Strawberry comes in pink and Honeydew in a lime green. The product groupings create bright blocks of color on their craft show table that instantly catch shoppers’ attention.

Find the SOLUTION in the free Sample Chapter 5: MAKING PRODUCTS THAT PROFIT

Your craft show display fixtures, props, lighting, signage, etc. should be well planned and used to strengthen your brand and handmade product’s value. Meaning; when shoppers look at your display, they think the prices of your handmade products will be higher than they actually are. If the details that surround your products at a craft show make people think your prices are lower than they actually are, it’s hurting your sales.

It makes it really hard to convince a craft show shopper to buy when their first impression is that your handmade products should be cheaper.

There are so many elements that go into a great craft show display that not only attracts shoppers but also helps convert them into customers. From the overall style of your space right down to the tablecloth; no detail is too small. If you’d like me to walk you through setting up a craft show display that stands out and makes you money, sign up for my free 5 day challenge

You guessed it; trying to keep up with stocking 7 different products didn’t leave much time to think about their craft show display. They pulled a white tablecloth off their dining room table and emptied a few baskets around the house to hold their products.

The craft show props don’t match, let alone work with the products. Signage is made right before the doors open by quickly scribbling some prices on paper and creating cards that sit in front of each grouping.

In an ideal world, EOS took my free 5 day challenge and started thinking about their craft show display fixtures and props the second they were accepted to the craft show. They came up with such a fun concept for their space, choose a style that attracted their ideal customer and applied it to every little detail.

They even used this little trick for the corner of their table to save on printing costs and help keep their business cards out of the trash. Great idea EOS 😉

Craft shows are getting more and more competitive each year. You need to think of your space as its own store and create a unique atmosphere for shoppers to walk into. Merchandising is a job retailers take very seriously because they know where and how they place their products, can make or break sales. I worked for 2 multi-million dollar retailers over 10 years and picked up several tricks of the trade (which are obviously shared in my e-book). I was also able to see, firsthand, how small merchandising changes make a big impact on sales.

EOS owners thought: people care about the product, not what’s around it so they arranged their products on the craft table and thought that was that. But craft show shoppers don’t notice them from across the room since their display doesn’t implement height or eye-catching elements.

The lack of composition leads people who do stop by to feel overwhelmed, not knowing where to look next and feeling like there’s too much to take in. They may even miss their cute lip balms because they get lost among all the other products.

Purchasing the proper props and display fixtures allows EOS owners to group their collections together, add height and interest to their craft show display and create compositions that create a natural flow to their space.

Craft show shoppers notice their space from across the room. Although they can’t see their products, they notice their bright, colorful and fun display and know it’s a booth they need to stop at.

Once at their craft show table, shoppers can take in one collection and message at a time and walk away with a clear understanding of the brand. With limited time to grab people’s attention, they ensure their space communicates who they are, what they’re selling and why shoppers should care about their products.

When we make mistake # 1 (products that lack direction), it leaves us with very little time to focus on the details. We’re too busy trying to perfect a wide variety of handmade products and build up enough stock in each that we don’t put thought or time into packaging, tagging, wrapping, etc.

Imagine if a store placed the product you just fell in love with and bought, into a crumpled plastic bag they previously had their groceries in? Would it take away from the experience a bit? Would you be as excited about the product when you got it home and unwrapped it? And would you feel encouraged to purchase from them again?

EOS nailed their pod shaped lip balm container but didn’t carry that through to their other products so their brand lacks direction with a hodge-podge of packaging.

Their wide selection of products means they’re basically jacks of all trades, master of none. It also leaves them with a lack of direction when it comes to targeting their products towards a specific customer.

Wrapping is an afterthought since most of their time went into producing 7 different types of products and when a sale is made, they simply toss the item into a generic bag and thank the customer for their purchase.

With just one product, they are able to properly brand and design pod shaped containers for their lip balm to help them stand out.

There are lots of companies who sell lip balm but their branding makes people want to purchase yet another lip balm to own something unique (it gives people “social currency” to feel like they’re onto something and discovered a cool new product before others).

1 product also allowed them to test different formulas to find a combination that produced an amazing lip balm. There are now able to brand all their product as 95% organic, 100% natural and paraben/petroleum free.

They stamp their logo on colored bags and match the bag and tissue paper color to the color of the collection the bought item is from. They offer to spritz each shopping bag with the fragrance of the collection, which carries the delicious scents of their products throughout the craft show and has shoppers following their noses to find where it’s coming from (i.e. a watermelon lip balm gets a watermelon colored shopping bag, tissue paper and ribbon. And they spritz a little bit of watermelon scent on the tissue paper).

This one is also covered in our sample chapter: MAKING PRODUCT THAT PROFIT which you can download right now!

You’re always representing your brand so it’s important to look and play the part of someone who’s an expert in what you’re selling. I’ve also been guilty of this. I had a tendency of leaving things until the last minute and being up until 2 am the night before a craft show. I had no interest in doing my hair or finding a cute outfit…I just needed to get out the door on time. But through trial and error I got my act together and realized how important my look was.

Just as you’d be a little weary of a salesman trying to sell you on luxury while wearing wrinkled clothes and swearing like a trucker, your craft show shoppers are scoping you out to see if you and your brand seem authentic.

EOS business owners stayed up LATE the night before the craft show trying to make enough inventory for each of their 7 products. They roll into the event in sweat pants and a t-shirt and haven’t even thought about their sales pitches.

They figure: We made the product, we’ll know what to say and how to sell it. They stumble over their words and miss mentioning some really important selling features their ideal customers would be interested in.

There is also so much to cover when it comes to the benefits of each product. It’s a bit of a struggle to find the right words on the spot to tie everything together since their products and branding lack focus.

EOS business owners knew that if they wanted to successfully sell products that promoted beautiful skin, their skin better look its best and that they needed a good night’s sleep before the event.

Their brand is all about natural beauty so they keep their looks fresh and clean and make sure their lips are looking moisturized.

They spent time thinking about the features that really make their products stand out. They know lots of companies sell skincare products made from organic ingredients so they examined several aspects of their business to pull the important pieces together to help them make sales.

From the reason they started their company and their values, to their manufacturing and product benefits; they worked out the perfect pitches for the business and each product. They feel completely relaxed and natural selling.

They also want to get feedback at the craft show so they can continue to improve their product to appeal to their target market so they brainstorm specific questions to ask shoppers. Being so prepared makes them feel comfortable at the craft show, which makes their shoppers feel comfortable.

Dressing the part and proper selling techniques are covered under Chapter 7: CREATING A DISPLAY THAT SELLS (YOU are an element of your display that helps Attract Shoppers) & Chapter 9: PERFECTING YOUR SELLING SKILLS

  1. Thanks so much Angela!! That’s so great to hear and I’m glad you’re enjoying the articles.

    Let me know how “making less” goes and if you have any questions along the way!

  2. I very much enjoyed this article. I make and sell wind chimes made of silver plate silverware and glass beads. I set up every Sat at our local farmer’s market and do a thriving business. I am finding that I want more. I want to expand into on line sales. I have tightened my business and only sell wind chimes. My whole show comes out of one crate. I keep distractions to a minimum….but am having a hard time with hawkers…you know those people so insecure that they must distract your customers and call them over to their booth. Any advice? I ask nicely for them to stop(it is against market rules) and they ignore me. I am sure there are alot of people dealing with this rude behavior. I would appreciate a solution. Love your ideas.

  3. Thanks for reading Karen! Great question. I’ve never had to deal with vendors like that but can understand how frustrating it would be.

    1) Try creating a bit of a barrier between your booth and theirs so shoppers are out of view from the other vendors. For example, if you have a full booth with a tent, invest in side walls and set your table or display back in your booth so shoppers walk in and your left and right neighbour can’t see them until they step out of your space. If you have a table instead of a booth, perhaps your displays could be a little higher on the sides.

    2) You could mention their behavior to the organizer and ask not to be placed near them at the next event.

    3) As difficult as it may seem, do your best to ignore them and focus on your shoppers. It sounds like you have a unique product to set you apart from other vendors and as a shopper, I would personally be annoyed with someone calling me over and would probably ignore them.

    Hope that helps a bit!

  4. I appreciate you responding to my comment. I have spoken to the market manager and she has promised to speak with the vendor. I could not isolate my booth. I hang the wind chimes around the perimeter of the tent. I also have the option of putting up 2 10foot tents which will hang about 40 wind chimes…tables are set up in the middle. This usually hushes up other vendors and we will sell out. Thank you for your help.

  5. I appreciate the thought you put into all of your articles. I’m in the process of making “less” for my own business and brainstorming how I exactly want to portray my brand. 🙂

  6. I appreciate the thought you put into all of your articles. I’m in the process of making “less” for my own business and brainstorming how I exactly want to portray my brand. 🙂

  7. As a newbie, I craft homemade natural scented soy candless at craft shows. Thank you for your articles. I will focus less on making too many scents and narrow it down to my best sellers, and take your recommendations to not crowd my table so the attention will be on my candles aND melts.

  8. Hi Eva, thanks for reading! I hope the information helps you at your next event. Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions!

  9. I always package my items in a plastic bag because I do outside shows and it protects my knitted items from dirt and dust that’s flying around n d. My customers appreciate the effort to keep things clean.

  10. Hi Erin. I enjoyed your article as it contained many helpful hints.
    I craft greeting cards, notebooks, boxes and other paper products. I have 2 card stands to display my cards and this makes the cards very visible.
    I need some ideas on setting up the tables. I usually have only tables.
    I think I need to have a white theme because the cards and books are very colourful. In Australia, because of the weather, we have craft fairs all year round. I would love to attach something to the ceiling but generally that isn’t allowed. Any ideas?
    Thank you

  11. Hi Marilyn,

    Thanks for reading! Have you thought about building some faux walls? You can make them light by using foamcore or a lighter piece of wood. Here’s an example of one that’s taller and sits behind the table:

    But you could make one half that size and sit it on top of your table to add height to your display.

    Here’s the general idea for making them stand on their own:

    If you’re contemplating the theme of your space, I would definitely recommend my free 5 day challenge. It will walk you through coming up with a look and feel for your display, among other things:

    Hope that helps!

Give a flying future to Liberia

APPEAL: Today, MAF operates the only humanitarian aircraft in Liberia. The opportunities of help and hope this opens up to people in desperate need are only just beginning. Will you join us?

17 August 2015 at 12.31pm was a milestone for humanitarian support in Liberia, as an MAF Cessna Caravan aircraft landed at Spriggs Payne Airport in Monrovia, Liberia. This marked the start of a new programme – one which had taken us over four patient years to establish.

Four years marked by aerial and email surveys, licensing and registration delays, the building of staff houses and, just when all the obstacles seemed to have been overcome, the Ebola crisis!

But now – operating the only humanitarian aircraft in the country – MAF is flying its relief partners to most destinations in less than two hours: speeding help, hope and healing to men, women and children in desperate need of God's love.

Please, will you support the work of our lifelines in countries where road travel is practically impossible?

Please give to MAF lifelines old and new

Why does Liberia need MAF?

Long before Ebola brought Liberia to the world's attention, the horror of civil war had wreaked havoc on an apocalyptic scale. Liberia became synonymous with the phrases 'child soldiers' and 'blood diamonds'. The country was shattered, its people traumatised.

Because of the constant warfare, an entire generation has grown up without adequate healthcare or education. Around 53% of the population is illiterate, and the country suffers from one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world.

Isolation is a grim fact of life for most people. Isolation caused by a terrible road system exacerbated by frequent heavy rains, and also by the stigma of being an Ebola survivor or a refugee from another land.

For humanitarian and mission groups making a difference on the ground, MAF's new flight service can:

  • Overcome isolation by providing a lifeline to and from remote areas
  • Slash the length of time it takes to reach isolated areas, sometimes by days
  • Reduce the risks of travelling on dangerous muddy roads and rivers through dense rainforest
  • Open up fresh opportunities to bring medical and community development projects to new areas.

Donate today and be a lifeline to thousands

MAF pilot Aarjan Paas flies over flooded community in Liberia

'There are no roads.'

Called by God to leave the USA and set up the Po River Medical Clinic, Steve and Jen Butwill are the very definition of 'isolated missionaries', and one of 80 humanitarian and mission partners MAF can make a real difference to.

Theirs is one of very few clinics in Rivercess County, an area where swamps criss-cross most of the paths and a 'trip' to the nearest hospital is an unwanted adventure. It takes two hours to travel ten miles by motorbike and canoe!

Sometimes, there are no doctors at the hospital.

Poor road network in Liberia makes overland travel dangerous

We are the lowest disadvantaged district of the most disadvantaged county. There are no roads. It doesn't get more difficult than that.

Steve Butwill, Po River Medical Clinic

The Po River Medical Clinic sits inside the Pillar of Fire mission compound.

'Getting a dentist here quickly on an MAF plane from Monrovia means they can be pulling more teeth, rather than stuck on a dirt road,' says Steve a missionary at the clinic. 'We can now plan to have more doctors, nurses and teachers coming in and staying short-term.'

As we look to open more airstrips and build more life-transforming partnerships, we look to you to join us in prayer and in giving. Will you help bring a better future to Liberia?

Please help meet the needs of isolated people today

sheet music

Music Bank

Search from tens of thousands of pieces for repertoire, programme notes and sheet music to borrow from other member groups.

Use it or lose it!

Ultimately, facilities offered by the library were maintained following consultations with moderately increased costs. However, this may not be the last word on cost-cutting relating to this resource. Whilst its importance to users has been demonstrated over the last year and diminishes the likelihood of it disappearing, only frequent high usage by a large number of music groups will ensure its survival in the long-term.

How to find sheet music without spending a fortune!

We had an interesting query from a member last week about using our Music Exchange. The query related to the legal issue surrounding the lending and borrowing of music. As we are sure many of you will know this can be a tricky subject, so we thought a reminder about the Music Exchange service and how it works would be a good idea.

PUPILS at Burnage High School are celebrating after being granted media arts college status.

The award will put staff and students at the Burnage Lane school at the forefront of the latest developments within the media.

State-of-the-art facilities, including a new media suite, are also expected to be built at the school within the coming months.

To qualify for the media arts status the school raised £50,000 in sponsorship – which will now unlock up to £500,000 in government funding over the next three years.

Jennifer Lawrence, co-ordinator of media arts at the boys-only Burnage High school, said: “Media, English and drama are our three strongest subjects in terms of pass rates at GCSE, so we thought we should monopolise on this by applying for the media arts status.

“We are hoping that by going down this route we will be able to link everything together so that performance rates in other subjects will also improve.

“The application process was very arduous, so we are all really pleased that our application has been approved.”

The school currently has a 90 per cent pass rate from A* to C in media; 82 per cent in drama and 60 per cent in English.

Work is now expected to begin at Burnage High, which will include the erection of a new media suite – complete with Applemac computers.

And as part of their newly awarded media status, pupils at the school are also set to launch their own radio station – Burnage FM – on Tuesday, January 8.

To get in some valuable experience, students are currently undertaking placements at community radio station, ALL FM.

It is hoped that the media arts status will further the school’s links within the local community.

Ms Lawrence said: “Part of the programme for the status involves working within the community, so we have now established links with Levenshulme High School, and primary schools including Acacias and Mauldeth Road primary. They will be also be able to use our media facilities and benefit from them.”

The official media arts launch will take place at the school on Thursday, December 6 between 2pm and 4pm.

Bank of Japan holds pat; slightly cuts output view

Published: Dec 20, 2010 11:22 p.m. ET

TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- The Bank of Japan held pat on monetary policy as widely expected Tuesday and maintained its overall assessment of the economy, saying it's showing signs of a moderate recovery. But it tweaked down its view on output, saying it's recently declined slightly. The BOJ's vote to keep interest rates unchanged in a range of zero to 0.1% was unanimous. The central bank said in a statement it will steadily purchase various assets and provide longer-term funds through its 35 trillion yen ($418 billion) asset-buying fund, to ensure that the effects of its monetary easing permeate through the economy. BOJ Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa will hold a news conference later Tuesday.

Shanghai stocks rally to close at five-year high

Published: Jan 5, 2015 4:09 a.m. ET

Stocks gain in Sydney, while Japan and Hong Kong markets fall

Shanghai stocks rallied on Monday, while other major Asian markets mostly fell.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Mainland Chinese stocks rallied to their highest close in more than five years on Monday, the first trading day of the new year, led by strength in the energy and real-estate sectors.

The Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, +0.45%  popped up 3.6% to end at 3,350.52, marking its biggest daily percentage gain in a month. In the previous trading session last week, the index also finished higher, ending 2014 as the world’s top-performing major equity market with an annual gain of 52%.

Product Information

Found in both Chinese five spice powder and garam masala, star anise (grown on a Chinese evergreen tree) is an important ingredient in many of the cuisines of south and central Asia. Though it contains the same essential oils found in anise seed (giving it a somewhat similar licorice flavor), star anise is actually a different spice and contains those oils in higher concentrations.

Store spices in their jar in a cool, dark cupboard. If grinding, do so just prior to use as pre-ground spices lose flavor and aroma over time.

Star anise can be used either whole and then removed prior to serving or freshly ground. Use to season proteins (especially duck), hot beverages, cocktails, and desserts. Try steeping star anise in milk that is to be turned into a custard like crème brulee.

Wish Keeper

"Suspended Lid Wish Keeper"

Raku Ceramic with Bone finish and Copper Embellishments. 26 in. Tall.

Wish Keeper: a Raku ceramic vessel that contains an inner chamber, into which written wishes are placed.  He saw the original concept and form in a dream and then, created the vision he had seen, out of clay in 1992.
  Raku is a 16th century process that was used in the Orient to make very special cups for the sacred tea ceremony.  They chose to use that style of firing because each piece is unique and cannot be duplicated, with the crackles and patterns from the smoke and fire.   After each Wish Keeper tm  is fired, a special formula of glaze is applied and the piece is fired again to 2000 degrees.  Then the artist, wearing a fireman's suit and a fresh air respirator, removes the bright orange glowing piece from the kiln.  It is then lowered into a container of dry combustibles, that are gathered from the surrounding area.  After catching fire, the container is covered and the magic begins, with the movement of the smoke and flames.    Once the firing is complete, the vessel is removed, washed and scrubbed,  like a newborn infant.  Each is different and emerges with its own distinct characteristics.  Part of the whole experience of Raku is the acceptance and appreciation of all the variations that arrive through the spontaneous process.  The procedure takes a lot of endurance and finesse to perfect and the results of excellence are measurably rewarding.
The seal on the front of the Wish Keeper is an ancient symbol for good fortune. The artist carved it in wood to make a stamp, so that he could press it into the wet clay and seal each one for a lifetime of good wishes.  Each piece is signed and comes with the Wish Keeper   story, parchments for wishes and the artist's bio.

The use of the bamboo form, as a theme in these clay sculptures, symbolizes strength, through yielding force.  It is represented on the base and the lid, which lifts, to reveal an inner chamber, suspended by a silk thread.  Write your wish on the parchments provided, and place them inside.

Taylor Swift Tops the 2015 Maxim Hot 100

Dazzling, self-assured, and ferociously talented, Taylor Swift is the world’s most relevant and intriguing woman. Now what will she do for an encore?

Taylor Swift is the quintessential American success story: Armed with little more than a guitar, a boatload of ambition, and an uncanny knack for creating a proliferation of perfect pop songs, Swift has spent a decade engineering her own perfectly executed rise from that storied Pennsylvania Christmas-tree farm to the covers of magazines like this one. (So many magazines...) The past 12 months mark Swift’s best year ever, she says: She became tourism ambassador for her adopted hometown of New York, playfully satirized tabloid perceptions of her, and pivoted from her country roots to debut her first-ever pop album, earning the Billboard Woman of the Year award for the second time and assuming her rightful role among a small circle of international superstars. Swift breaks album sales records like lesser pop stars break hearts, all while somehow retaining the same wide-eyed charm that made her so likable in the first place.  She is also deeply unconcerned with whether or not you consider her attractive, which of course only makes her more so. We spoke with Swift, as she wrapped up the last day of her 1989 tour rehearsals, about life on the road, feminism, and what it feels like to be named by Maxim the most talented woman alive.

Check out the rest of the Maxim Hot 100and the 2015 Hot List here

How does it feel being named No. 1?

It’s really nice and such an incredible compliment. This year has been my favorite year of my life so far. I got to make an album exactly the way I wanted to make it. I got to put it out exactly the way that I dreamed of putting it out. Every one of these kinds of whims and ideas came to fruition. The videos—I’m proud of those, I’m proud of the tour, I’m proud of the way this has all happened. In the midst of all that, this is really nice. It really feels like a wonderful celebration of my favorite year.

You’re getting ready to go on tour for "1989." What are you doing to prepare?

We’ve been in rehearsals for months, trying to get the live instrumental versions of these songs to as close to the album sounds as possible. And also you’re lengthening things, creating mash- ups with things. It was fun to play around and get everything sonically right before we got on the actual stage and started doing the choreography. But before all that—probably close to a year ago—we started setting the stage, so that was when the drawing started. Now all we have to do is actually…do the tour.

Given all that, how do you make time for all your friendships? It seems like everyone is your best friend. Can I be your best friend?

[Laughs] Thankfully, 10 years into my career now, I’ve learned how to work in a smarter way. You have to have time to breathe and have a happy life, and friendships are so important to me. Thankfully—thanks to the fans—now we get to play stadiums, so we do two or three stadium shows a week. I’ll see my friends in whichever city I’m closer to.

You’ve become more vocal about feminism recently. What changed?

Honestly, I didn’t have an accurate definition of feminism when I was younger. I didn’t quite see all the ways that feminism is vital to growing up in the world we live in. I think that when I used to say, “Oh, feminism’s not really on my radar,” it was because when I was just seen as a kid, I wasn’t as threatening. I didn’t see myself being held back until I was a woman. Or the double standards in headlines, the double standards in the way stories are told, the double standards in the way things are perceived. A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining. Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born. So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality.

Reviews from Maximum Inspection clientele

My husband and I have been present for a number of home inspections both for ourselves and our children. Jeff provided the absolute best experience and report. Jeff was willing to drive from Salem to Hopkinton, Massachusetts and spent 2+ hours educating my husband on the home we were buying for our daughter. Without going into the negatives of other local inspectors, for quality and price Jeff was tops!

Jeff is the most professional home inspector that I have encountered. He is thorough, complete, and honest. I will be glad to recommend his service to anyone requiring a home inspection.

Hi, Jeff. I enjoyed the home inspection experience. You do a careful job and explain everything so well. I appreciate your patience and your expertise. Thank you.

Effect of recall on estimation of non-fatal injury rates: a community based study in Tanzania

PDF document icon ja-05-59.pdf — PDF document, 110 kB (112939 bytes)

Author(s): Moshiro C, Heuch I, Åstrøm A N, Setel P, Kvåle G

Year: 2005

Inj Prev 2005. 11:48-52.
Injuries are becoming a major cause of mortality and morbidity in less developed countries. The relative contribution of injuries to disability adjusted life years is expected to rise from 15% in 1990 to 20% in 2020 with the largest increase expected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Most studies on the incidence of injuries are based on health facility data. Self reported data obtained through community based surveys play an important part in the study of injury morbidity in less developed countries due to incompleteness and low utilisation of health facilities. However, one major limitation of such studies is recall bias.

A number of studies have investigated the effect of recall period on the estimates of injury rates for non-occupational and occupational injuries. A study in the United States examined the effect of recall in estimating injury rates among children and adolescents with a reference period of 12 months. The largest declines in injury rates were observed for the 04 year old children and for minor injuries. Similarly, Mock et al investigated the effect of recall bias on annual injury rates in a household survey in Ghana. They found a remarkable decline in injury rates from a one month recall to a 12 month recall, which was influenced by severity of injury but not by age, gender, and locality. A population based study in Brazil compared retrospective and prospective data collection methods among preschool children. Use of diaries prospectively resulted in five times as many injuries reported than the recall method, particularly for injuries not requiring medical care. In the United States, injury rates for farmers were compared using two months, 12 months, and 10 years recall. The results showed that a recall period of more than two months was likely to underestimate injury rates. Most of the studies on effect of recall on injury rates have been conducted in developed countries. A review of literature produced only one study from sub-Saharan Africa on time effects in recall of injuries.

In this paper, we investigate the effect of recall on estimates of annual injury rates as an initial step in analysing data from a survey that measured injury morbidity in an urban and a rural location of Tanzania. The effects of recall are also examined for various subpopulations and by severity of injury.

Fox's Erick Erickson: Countries With Marriage Equality Are "Bent On Suicide"

Blog ››› ››› LUKE BRINKER

Fox News contributor Erick Erickson continued his pattern of championing anti-LGBT discrimination, warning that gay rights and Christianity are incompatible and asserting that a society that affirms LGBT equality "is a society bent on suicide."

In an August 7 column titled "Tolerate or Be Stamped Out," Erickson lamented the growing marginalization of anti-LGBT attitudes, charging that pro-equality activists are determined to purge Christians from American society:

In fact, enormous energy is being expended by the left in America to make Christianity and Christians unacceptable. A New York Times writer wants to stamp out those views "ruthlessly." He describes those with orthodox Christian views on marriage as unworthy of civility. Anonymous groups expose the home addresses of mostly Christians and subject them to harassment. This is not happening to orthodox Jews or Muslims, but to Christians.

It raises a serious question Americans must confront -- are gay rights and Christianity compatible? The answer appears to be no. As gay rights activists use the tactics of Bull Connor to push for what they declare civil rights, they are targeting churches, religiously affiliated groups and Christian businesses for harassment and lawsuits.

Across the country, the left has decided our sexual preference is something we are born with, but our gender is something we get to decide. Anyone who thinks otherwise is threatened and harassed. Several thousand-year-old pillars of society are being shoved aside in the name of tolerance. Those who speak up for sanity, tradition and faith are treated scornfully.

This will not end well for any of us. Despite surveys designed to show the contrary, children tend to do best with mothers and fathers. A society that willfully undermines perpetuating itself is a society bent on suicide. One thing is for sure -- a faith that survived its followers being used as torches to light the streets of Rome will survive a modern age hell bent on ruthlessly stamping it out. [emphasis added]

Erickson's latest apoplectic screed is par for the course from the Fox News commentator. Last month, he endorsed a Georgia congressional candidate's view that "the homosexual movement ... is destroying America." Previously, Erickson has written that gay people are on the "road to hell" and warned businesses that serve gay couples that they are "aiding and abetting" sin. Moreover, Erickson is a prominent supporter of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a right-wing legal group working internationally to help criminalize homosexuality.

“DWTS”:  Alfonso Ribeiro Says “A ‘Fresh Prince’ Reunion Will Never Happen!”

The series, which ran for six seasons (1990-96) on NBC, made stars of Ribeiro and his co–star Will Smith.  While he has no ill feelings towards the show, he would just prefer to leave it be.  “I would love it if the world would just let it go,” he said.  “It's wonderful that `everyone loves what we did 25 years ago, but I believe in [the present] and the future.  People who live in the past, you are not moving forward.

“We have a saying that if you're standing still you are getting passed,” he added. “So I don't tend to look back and see what's happening behind me.  I continue to move forward and try to create new and better.”

According to Ribeiro doing any type of reboot without the late James Avery, who played the Honorable Phillip Banks and passed away in December of 2013, would be impossible.  “I think if we tried to do a Fresh Prince reunion or reboot or whatever version everybody wants to call it, that we would ruin it,” he said.  “We don't have James Avery; he's gone, so there's no reason to do it.

“I don't say anything about the shows that do it; if that's what y'all think you need to do go ahead and do it,” he continued.  “I don't think Fresh Prince needs to be redone.  Its history; that glimpse you saw of Carlton tonight might be the last time you get a look at him.”

Since his Dancing with the Stars win in 2014, Ribeiro’s career has indeed moved forward.  Following that win the actor landed the America’s Funniest Home Videos hosting gig.  He said to expect an announcement in the coming days about that show moving back to its original 7 p.m. Sunday night timeslot.  “The show is funnier than ever this season,” he smiled.  “I’m loving that.”

How Gen Z's Media Patterns are Visibly Different from Our Own

By Graeme Hutton 1stFive Experience Archives

Social media is deeply embedded in our culture and has emerged as a leading indicator of overall media consumption.  Its burgeoning power can be vividly seen when assessing the consumption patterns, habits and trends of Gen-Z.  Gen-Z are individuals who were born after the mid-1990s, and they have grown up in a society where the Internet and mobile devices were always present.

Graphically, we can portray an audience's media preferences simply by creating a map using two key metrics:  The monthly reach of a media property and the average monthly minutes per viewer of that property.

Here is the social media map for 13-20 year olds by those two measures:

The tipping point on this graph is the top right-hand corner, where both monthly reach and consumption is at its peak.  For Gen-Z, this area is dominated by YouTube, which has solidified itself as the preeminent sharing video platform, overshadowing the otherwise omnipotent Facebook.  Critically, this is not the case with older demographics.

More broadly, when we dissect the media-use map with a diagonal line (shown in red), we see that almost all media appear above the line.  This is a decisive characteristic of the map, signifying that, for most media properties, higher reach eclipses duration of consumption.  The overarching value of reach in media consumption is well-known.  In 2009, the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute demonstrated how reach has a pivotal influence in consumers' total hours of TV network viewing across the world, from the U.S. to Australia.

Crossing the Red Line

There are two clear outliers who are below the diagonal red line on the map and whose monthly average minutes of consumption are much higher than we might expect: Instagram and Snapchat, the photo sharing apps.

For demographic groups older than 20, comScore shows Facebook is the leading medium, while the photo-sharing apps' monthly usage mainly reflects their reach levels.

In a totally separate media and social research study among college students UM partnered with Chegg, the college textbook rental company.  Although undertaken from a different perspective, our study largely found similar findings among the prominent social media titles.  Notable highlights from this study included:

  • First year college students confirmed YouTube as their favorite social platform at 21%, with Snapchat and Facebook equally at 17%.  Instagram scored 15%.
  • However, the position drastically altered for fourth year students, who indicated Facebook was their favorite at 38%.

Photo sharing apps is an important feature to watch in the social marketplace: As Gen-Z-ers grow older, will they continue with their current media preferences?  It is vexing questions similar to these that spurred Facebook to pursue Snapchat for a $3 billion cash acquisition in 2014.  Today, Snap, the parent company, has a market capitalization over $15 billion.

Are YouTube's Strengths a Zeitgeist of TV's Weaknesses?

Social media consumption provides a pattern so strong, it now appears to be reflected in television viewing.  Specifically, when we look at YouTube, the older the audience, the less relevant YouTube appears to be.  YouTube may have a commanding presence with Gen-Z, but where TV is strongest, amongst the 55+ age demo, YouTube is relatively weakest.  YouTube video and television appear to have an inverse relationship that generally mirrors audience age demos.

Gen-Z's social media patterns are clearly the ones to watch.  First at the micro level, as we follow the tactical battles for dominance such as Snapchat versus Facebook's Instagram.  Second at the macro level, as social video eats into what was once widely regarded as the country's major audio-visual platform, television.

The bottom line:  Social media is not just here to stay.  In its very widest definition, it may well be set to outshine all other media channels.

The History of 'Lent'

From the Middle English word for 'springtime'

March 1st of 2017 was the beginning of Lent, the period of penitence and fasting that is observed by Roman Catholics and a number of other Christian denominations for the 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday to Easter. Consequently, Lent was one of our top lookups on this day.

Since Lent is associated with fasting, the adjective 'Lenten' has become a synonym for 'meatless'.

The observance of Lent is meant to serve as commemoration of the suffering of Jesus Christ. The word has been in use in English in this capacity since at least the late 13th century, and also may be found used in slightly generalized fashion, to indicate a period of fasting in any religion, or to refer to a longer period observed by some Eastern Orthodox churches.

Lent comes from the Middle English word lente, meaning “springtime,” which is itself descended from the Old English lencten. Lenten remains a word in modern English, though little used, and has the meanings of “of or relating to Lent,” “suitable to Lent (meager),” and “meatless” (a lenten pie is a meatless pie).

People have been using the expression (or some variant on it) "I gave it up for Lent" in a jocular fashion for quite some while, as evidenced by a squib in Life magazine in 1884, captioned “Lent, as it is kept at Yonkers”:

Ethel: “Mamma, Willie says Birdie Kent is his girl.”
Willie (aged seven): “No, she is not.”
Ethel: “Why! Willie, you said she was, only the other day.”
Willie: “Well! I have given her up for Lent.”

For those who prefer their ecclesiastical terminology to be as polysyllabic as possible, the word Quadragesima may be used as a synonym of Lent; this word comes from the Latin quadragesimus (“fortieth”), and also refers to the first Sunday in Lent.

Brian's back!

Posted By on Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 12:00 AM

Although the word has been used frequently throughout his career, both justifiably and not so justifiably, Brian Wilson's new album is an artistic triumph. A song cycle in the same vein as Smile (which — though some may view this as heresy — pales both melodically and thematically in comparison), Wilson builds this one around the great 1949 ballad, "That Lucky Old Sun," originally popularized by Frankie Laine but covered over the years by most every great vocalist from Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. The song has always been beautiful but harrowing, almost like an old spiritual or akin to "Ol' Man River." Here, however, it's transformed into an ode to the sun, fitting into the theme of the disc which celebrates the Southern California of Wilson's youth as well as autobiographically examining his own life and career.

With the Beach Boys, Wilson created a mythological, romanticized view of California that still lives on today, despite the fires, riots, floods, overpopulation and TMZ/Paris Hilton culture that thrives more in modern times. There's even a song titled "Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl," looking back at the first tune Wilson ever wrote as a teen (and an international hit a short time later), while "Good Kind of Love" re-creates the kind of glorious pop tune he was known for writing during those early years. In other words, to quote Bob Dylan, Wilson's still "writing melodies to beat the band." And "California Role," about the early film industry, is a distant cousin to "Heroes & Villains," complete with a Tin Pan Alley, old-time music hall vibe.

Produced by Wilson, the songs are collaborations between the maestro, Scott Bennett of his stunningly good current band, and longtime friend and Smile lyricist Van Dyke Parks, who came up with the between-song spoken narrative and possibly the very form of this epic as well. But whereas Wilson was once a sum of his influences — including the much-touted triumvirate of Spector, the Four Freshman and Chuck Berry — the music here finds Wilson looking to himself for influence. In other words, Brian Wilson's main influence these days is ... Brian Wilson. That beautiful voice is no longer nearly what it once was — but the aged, sometimes ragged quality of the vocals is absolutely perfect here. That Lucky Old Sun isn't all celebratory: "How could I get so low? I'm embarrassed to tell you so," he sings on "Oxygen to the Brain" (which sounds like a mantra from the Dr. Landy era), recalling those dark "Lost Weekend" years. Near the end of the album, on "Goin' Home," he sings, "At 25, I turned out the light 'cause I couldn't handle the glare in my tired eyes."

Many of us thought Brian Wilson would be dead by 2008. We certainly had no expectations that he'd still be making music and, especially, music this good. So, yes, That Lucky Old Sun is a triumph — not only a triumph of the will but also of the human spirit. This claim has also been made numerous times during Wilson's career but this time it's for real: Brian is back!

Accord is overall winner with Civic, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and new Clarity Plug-In Hybrid each earning top honors in their respective categories

  • Small SUV/Crossover: 2018 Honda CR-V
  • Midsize SUV/Crossover: 2018 Honda Pilot
  • Minivan: 2018 Honda Odyssey

“We’re exceptionally proud to have dominated this years Kelley Blue Book awards, which really reinforces our unique focus on individual car buyers and on delivering the best overall value and lowest long-term ownership cost for the customer,” said Jeff Conrad, Senior Vice President of the Automobile Division of American Honda. “Shoppers who want to make a smart buying decision are well served by KBB.com’s unique approach to evaluating new vehicles, which is informed by both their extensive market data and their deep product expertise.”

U.S. equities markets should open mixed Friday, pressured by Home Depot Inc.'s fiscal 2003 earnings warning.

"Home Depot cutting back forecasts could dampen retail stocks," said Peter Cardillo, chief strategist at Global Partner Securities Inc.

Dow futures recently fell 13, while the Nasdaq futures rose 2. Futures contracts for the Standard & Poor's 500 are up 0.2. The Dow Jones Indicative Average, which measures actual trades of the industrial average's 30 components overseas, was up 4.01 points to 8,611.53 at 7:35 a.m. EST.

After the close Thursday, Home Depot lowered its fiscal 2003 earnings estimate because of slowing December sales, which significantly reduced same-store sales in the fourth quarter.

The home-improvement retailer now expects earnings of $1.53 to $1.55 a share for the fiscal year ending Feb. 2, down from the previous estimate of $1.57.

A current Thomson First Call survey of 25 analysts produced a mean earnings estimate of $1.57 a share for fiscal 2003.

Home Depot said lower December sales caused its projection for a fourth-quarter same-store sales decline of 3 percent to 5 percent to worsen to as much as 10 percent.

European markets were lower early on, with London's FTSE 100 down 0.12 percent to 4,004.50, Paris' CAC-40 down 0.17 percent at 3,189.51, and Frankfurt's Xetra Dax down by 0.15 percent at 3,100.23.

Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 256.89 points, or 3.19 percent, to 8607.52, while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 49.34, or 3.69 percent, to finish at 1,384.85. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 29.21, or 3.32 percent, to 909.03.

Overnight in Asia, Hong Kong shares closed higher Friday on bargaining hunting after being oversold last month, powered by Wall Street's strength overnight. Volume was thin as many fund managers are still on vacation. The blue-chip Hang Seng Index ended up 218.33 points, or 2.3 percent, at 9,583.85. It traded the session in a range of 9,520.85 and 9,585.66.

The benchmark Nikkei Stock Average remained closed for the holiday.

HARTFORD >> The Republican Party’s attempt to use a humorous Democratic amendment that was never called as a fundraising pitch may have fallen a little flat since it actually was proposed last year by a Republican lawmaker.

Connecticut Republican Party Chairman JR Romano used an amendment by Sen. Mae Flexer, D-Killingly, in his latest fundraising pitch.

Flexer proposed an amendment that prevents bear hunting “if such bear is (1) smarter than the average bear, (2) fed from a picnic basket, (3) merely nibbling or noshing, (4) featured in or associated with any film production of The Walt Disney Company, or (5) fed from a honey pot provided such pot is of sufficient size, as determined by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, such that the tongue, snout and head of such bear has sufficient space to extend, lick, sniff and explore, as applicable, without becoming stuck in such pot.”

Romano wrote “Our state faces a VERY SERIOUS $5 BILLION DEFICIT and Mae is filing amendments (with the help of state-paid staff) referencing Yogi Bear, Winnie the Pooh, and other cartoons.”

MIDDLETOWN >> Middletown’s bounce-back American Legion season ended in disappointment — and high controversy — with a 2-1, nine-inning loss to Zone 4 champion Greenwich Wednesday.

After losing 8-1 Tuesday in a game that saw Middletown coach Tim D’Aquila ejected for the first time in his 12-year coaching career by umpire Peter Stokes, Post 75 had to sweep Wednesday in order to advance.

Luke Garofalo pitched the game Wednesday and was magnificent. He went eight innings, allowed five hits and struck out 11. But he couldn’t win. He came close, but close doesn’t count.

Middletown (24-8) loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth with one out, but Ben Alonzo bounced into a short-to-home-to first double play to end the rally.

Danny Botti replaced Garofalo in the ninth and got two quick outs, but couldn’t get the third as Ryan King’s single to right chased home the winning run sending Greenwich (25-2) to a rematch with Zone 4 rival Stamford in the first game Saturday at Palmer Field (1 p.m.). in the Super Regional phase of the marathon known as the Connecticut American Legion tournament.

Middletown got two on with one out in the ninth, but couldn’t score as Connor Langan nailed it down by striking out Ryan Famiglietti and Cal Pitruzzello.

“Garofalo was great,” said D’Aquila. “He had all four of his pitches.”

D’Aquila went on to say that he knew his club was an underdog against Greenwich. “Zone 4 is very good,” he said. “Stamford, Trumbull, Greenwich and even Norwalk, who we beat, are all very good teams.

“But I thought we showed great progress this year and when we played as a team, it was beautiful to watch. When we pitched well and our defense made plays, we were very good. We preached the virtues of playing as a team to the kids. We had kids who could have played 17 and under, but we played them up here, so we have a good, young nucleus.”

Much of the series was overshadowed by the ejection and controversy with the umpires. The accounts of what happened depends on who is talking.

Everything happened in the second inning of the Tuesday game. D’Aquila was ejected by plate umpire Peter Stokes. That everybody agrees on. They agree on little else.

D’Aquila’s version: He had a player complain on calls and he got the player in the dugout. D’Aquila said that Stokes came to the dugout and said to him he was warning the dugout and if the chirping continued, he would throw people out.

D’Aquila said he said, “Don’t warn the kids, I’ll take care of the dugout, warn me.” Stokes said “OK, you’re warned.” D’Aquila said he said, “ ‘Fine, I’ll take care of the dugout, you take care of balls and strikes’, and at that point he ejected me.”

Stokes’ version: In his report to the State Legion of which The Press has a copy, he said: “Tim D’Aquila manager for Middletown was ejected for abusive language on a balk call in the 2nd inning of a State playoff game vs. Greenwich. The call was made and he started swearing that ‘his team always gets (expletive) down here.’ I told him enough and I warned him on the swearing and he told me to worry about (expletive) balls and strikes so I dumped him, again with the swearing. He came out like an animal, he bumped me twice and said I (expletive) sucked, my partner sucked.”

Base umpire Michael Vigliotti backed Stokes’ version in his report to the State Legion and reiterated that D’Aquila “twice bumped Stokes.”

D’Aquila’s reply: In a phone conversation Thursday he said that part of the umpires’ report “is false.” He went on to say that, “The umpire came towards the dugout and I did not charge him and I did not bump him. He was the aggressor. I never argued the balk call.”

D’Aquila said that his team had trouble with Stokes — who has umpired the high school and Legion circuit for 15 years and college ball for five — three years ago in a game with Stamford. Stokes said he had no memory of that alleged incident.

Middletown Post 75 General manager Phil Cacciola, Commander Larry Riley and Post 75 17u coach and member of the state baseball committee Joe Carta, sent an email to State Baseball Director David Greenleaf requesting that the crew of Peter Stokes and Mike Vigliotti be taken off the Wednesday game because “We don’t feel that they will be objective in their game decisions.”

That request was denied, although Vigliotti did not work the Wednesday game as Paul DeMartino, an umpire with 15 years experience, worked the plate.

Stokes said in his report that, “[D’Aquila] put on a disgusting display of sportsmanship and I would never let my son play for that guy.”

However, in an email asking for comment Thursday, Stokes said, “I have already forgotten about the issue and if I have Middletown again I will give them my best as I hold no grudge against Mr. D’Aquila.”

No literature of the world any match for peculiar style of the Holy Quran: Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that every sentence and word of the Holy Quran is intact despite passage of 1400 years and the enemies of Islam have failed to make any change in its text. The old versions of the antiquity are safe in their original form. No literature of the world has been able to produce similar style and eloquence, which is the chief attribute of the Divine Book.

Shaykh-ul-Islam expressed these views while addressing the research scholars of the Farid-e-Millat Research Institute telephonically from Canada. Dr Ali Akber Al-Azhari, Rana Farooq, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Dabbagh, GM Malik, Sayyid Farhat Hussain Shah, Rana Muhammad Idrees and Allama Latif Madani were also present on the occasion.

He said that the Holy Prophet (saw) was sent to perfect the morals of humanity in a society where human values stood degraded and society was victim to the forces of degeneration. The Holy Prophet (SAW) not only reformed moral and social order of the society but also prepared a team of social reformers who brought about revolution in the orientation of society by taking a leaf from the book of their beloved leader. The coming of such ideal people in the world is the result of excellent morality and personal attributes of the Holy Prophet (SAW).

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that despite facing the worst of difficulties and bearing of the greatest responsibility in the universe, he remained a paragon of patience and never bowed his head before the worries in the way of his sacred mission. He said that it was the result of training the Companions got at the hands of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that Islam became the order of the day in the entire world before the end of 1st year of Hegira.
