They started Irv & Shelly’s Fresh Picks earlier this year and just made their first deliveries. Grocery delivery services like Peapod now offer organic selections, but they’re not necessarily locally grown. Shoppers can visit farmers markets for locally grown organic produce and meats, but farmers generally won’t deliver to a home. Community-supported agriculture ventures.
Hingis strolls through in Korea open
Times of India - Sep 27, 2006
Wozniacki,
this year’s junior Wimbledon champion, fought valiantly but Hingis called all
the shots in the second set. The Swiss brought the crowd to their
feet with a delightful lob on the run in the fourth game, on her way to taking
the set. Thursday afternoon will see Hingis in action in a
second-round match against the winner of the final first-round contest between
India’s Sania Mirza and home-grown favourite Lee Ye-Ra. In the day’s
second-round action, Japanese star Akiro Morigami became the first player to
reach the quarter-finals, defeating compatriot Aiko Nakamura 7-5,
6-2. Fifth seed Vera Zvonareva brushed past Finland’s Emma Laine,
dropping just four games in a 6-4, 6-0 victory. Vera Dushevina,
conqueror of second seed Maria Kirilenko in a 200-minute epic the previous day,
started well against Greece’s Eleni Daniilidou but may have felt the
after-effects. She won just one game in the final two sets, going
down 1-6, 6-1, 6-0.
Munna Bhai and his “Gandhigiri” capture
Hindu - Sep 27, 2006
The Gandhi cap made of pure home-spun khadi, once the traditional headgear of Gandhiites and freedom fighters, had virtually vanished from the scene for long what with fast changing fashion trends, only to make a ritualistic appearance on Gandhi Jayanti Day and at Congress Party conventions. But now with home grown Munna Bhais fast taking to the Gandhian methods of dissent, the Gandhi cap has re-emerged as the popular new symbol of non-violent protest. In recent days Lucknow has emerged as the epicentre of “Gandhigiri” in Uttar Pradesh. Since this unique form of protest spilt over to the streets, the Gandhi Ashram outlets in the city have recorded a sharp jump in the sale of Gandhi caps. Harbans Rai, Manager of Gandhi Ashram in the posh Hazratganj area here, says that on an average 60 to 70 caps are bought up daily, mostly by young men. Windfall expected
With another Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 round the corner and “Lage Raho Munna Bhai” firing the imagination of the young in and out of cinema halls, the Gandhi Ashram management is expecting a real windfall.
Prisoners to be released

He started ranting at the newly issued official parliamentary coffee mugs after discovering they were made in China. Now he’s winning friends, and maybe votes, from the mug makers of Australia. Bendigo Pottery sent him a very nice home-grown mug. Now another one has arrived from a potter only 30km from Canberra, using local clay and fired with renewable plantation pine wood. One more mug and the senator will have his Canberra office staff kitted out, but visitors will have to bring their own Aussie mugs. Banana bender with Kiwi fruit
WONDER if the tide of Enzedders crossing the Tasman to Oz has slowed. We’ve heard from Queen Liz, of Foster’s Land, who’s back from a New Zealand holiday.
