We've all been there, whether searching the personals for a romantic connection or posting an ad in hopes of luring in a new friend. A great source of entertainment, many people skim through the personals section for a quick laugh, never questioning its origin or its interesting history. Personal ads began popping up sporadically in the eighteenth century and became common by the end of the nineteenth. Whole publications devoted to romantic and marriage-minded classifieds flourished around the turn of the last century. In the last half of the twentieth century, personal ads exploded in myriad publications from coy gay ads of the 1950s to colorful ads in the alternative presses of the 1970s. Today, more and more people are paying for a chance at love. From the best and the worst, the hopeful and the hopeless, the bitter and the sweet, the romantic and the lustful—never before has a collection like this been assembled from so many decades past. By including hundreds of funny and surprising personal ads from historical newspapers as well as modern Web sites, <i>Man with Farm</i> will entertain and inform.

This book is written for the current and aspiring American farmer. The concept of marketing can be big and complex. However, the way Dr. Wayne Purcell, nationally known authority on agricultural commodities, has written his book is simple and direct. The farmer is the first link in the chain of events that becomes a marketing system. The final link is the consumer. An individual farmer has tremendous potential to improve his or her position by becoming better in marketing (more so than by still further improvements in production). This book is dedicated toward providing the basics and the applications that the individual will need. The focus here is on the marketing decisions of the farm producer: what does it take for that producer to make effective marketing decisions?; how important is it?; is this the way farmers can differentiate themselves from neighbors and make a decent income when others are struggling?; and how much potential is there if the farmer as a decision-maker starts to get as good in making wise marketing decisions as in making smart production decisions? As we become more nearly a global market, it is going to be increasingly important that the individual farmer, and farmers in general, become better marketers than they have ever been before. The potential is huge. The opportunities are before us. The need is to recognize that potential and those opportunities and go after them. This book is dedicated to helping you get there.

"La « vieille fifure » de son ami Renaud, l'inséparable de sa princesse Flavie, la victime à sauver du directeur Guilbert, le chouchou de sa mémé Poulette, le chevalier servant des filles de l'école, le confident de monsieur Ju... S'il avait à le faire, Étienne se décrirait plutôt comme un adolescent chanceux. Chanceux d'être si bien entouré, chanceux de pouvoir faire ses propres choix malgré les difficultés, chanceux de vivre à une époque et dans un milieu où son homosexualité n'est pas une tare, chanceux d'entrer doucement dans le monde adulte, même si, parfois, ça fait peur..."-- ack cover.
