The White Woman on the Green Bicycle
A Novel
Monique Roffey - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
A beautifully written, unforgettable novel of a troubled marriage, set against the lush landscape and political turmoil of Trinidad"Engaging. . . . A firebomb of a book, revealing a slowly disintegrating marriage, a country betrayed and a searing racism that erupts in terrible violence. . . . This is a stunning book, and its depiction of an aspect of Caribbean life is well worth contemplating."
Monique Roffey's Orange Prize-shortlisted novel is a gripping portrait of postcolonialism that stands among great works by Caribbean writers like Jamaica Kincaid and Andrea Levy.
When George and Sabine Harwood arrive in Trinidad from England, George is immediately seduced by the beguiling island, while Sabine feels isolated, heat-fatigued, and ill-at-ease. As they adapt to new circumstances, their marriage endures for better or worse, despite growing political unrest and racial tensions that affect their daily lives. But when George finds a cache of letters that Sabine has hidden from him, the discovery sets off a devastating series of consequences as other secrets begin to emerge.
-The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Roffey's explorations of longtime marriages, race, and the lingering effects of colonialism are insightful and often painful to read. . . . The true main character in this novel is Trinidad itself: its people, its customs, and its contradictions."
-Nancy Pearl, National Public Radio
"Few novels capture the postcolonial culture with such searing honesty as this Caribbean story told through the alternating viewpoints of a white British couple over the last 50 years. . . . The pitch-perfect voices capture the colonials' racism and sense of entitlement."
"A rich and highly engaging novel."
-The Guardian
"Roffey's evocation of Trinidad is extraordinarily vivid, the central relationship beautifully observed... deservedly short-listed for the Orange Prize."
-Kate Saunders, The Times (London)
"Heart-rending and thought-provoking, you will never again see the Caribbean as just another holiday destination."
-Elle Magazine
"Equal love and attention go into the marriage and the country at the heart of this Orange Prize short-listed novel... It's a book packed with meaty themes, from racism to corruption to passion and loyalty."
-Seven, The Sunday Telegraph
"Roffey's Orange Prize nominated book is a brilliant, brutal study of a marriage overcast by too much mutual compromise."
-The Independent
"A searing account of the bitter disappointment suffered by Trinidadians on securing their independence from British colonial rule and of the mixed feelings felt by a white couple who decide to stay on. An earthy, full-blooded piece of writing, steaming with West Indian heat."
-London Evening Standard
"[Roffey's] plot engages the reader through a gradual revelation of the past - slowly forming a melancholy whole."
-Financial Times
"Monique Roffey is a writer of verve, vibrancy and compassion, and her work is always a joy to read."
-Sarah Hall
In an interview in The Guardian (London), you talked about your parents and their arrival in Trinidadincluding the fact that your mother brought her green bicycle. How much of George and Sabine is based upon them? Was your mother as notorious for her bicycle riding as Sabine?
Yes, everyone knew my mother because she rode around Port of Spain on her green bicycle in her shorts, looking very glamorous and yet very foreign too. For months after she first arrived, she would go to parties or meet people for the first time and they would say "Oh, you're the women on the green bicycle," so she was well-known for her bike.
My parents had a long and eventful marriage and were always a bit like movie stars to me, when they were young. Yes, to some extent George and Sabine are based on them, but in many ways not at all. My mother had no interest in Eric Williams, for example, or the PNM, and she never attended the University of Woodford Square; all of that has to do with my own interest in Trinidad's recent history.
What did your parents think about Eric Williams?
To my knowledge and memory, they did not have strong opinions about him.
You capture the cadences of the spoken language brilliantly. Was this difficult, oras a native Trinidadiandid this come easily to you? Did you coin the incredibly evocative "steupse," or is it commonly used in Trinidad?
Trinidad's language is a fusion of English, African, and French and so we have our own words and even our own dictionary. Steupse is a common local word and it's the onomatopoeic word for the sound people make to show disapproval, or to show they are vexed, when they suck their teeth together. It means "Oh for God's sake."
I am bilingual and can speak this other type of English when I want to. It's in my ear and it is the language I grew up with all around me. Trinidadians love speaking their own English; it's full of poetic forms and can be playful and lyrical and comical. Trinidadians are verbal acrobats and I love being on the island just to hear the people speak. One of my favorite poets is Anthony Joseph, a Trinidadian also based in the UK. He is one of the best examples of writers of my generation using this fusion-language. Check him out.
At what point did you begin to become aware of the social inequities in Trinidad? How conscious were you of Eric Williams when he was in power?
Eric Williams died when I was fifteen and I remember his funeral vividly. But after that, all I ever heard about him was what the adults in the white community made of him, that he was corrupt and a failure. The Caribbean was built on crime; it has a criminal past. It was born from slavery, piracy, you name it… big heinous crimes of humanity were committed on almost every island. There is evidence of slavery everywhere even today, even just in place names. You cannot live here and not know about all this from a very young age and without understanding that today's problems with crime and corruption are directly linked. Piracy still exists in the Caribbean and oil is the new mono-crop in Trinidad for sure. In Wide Sargasso Sea there is a passage where the newlyweds visit a beach called "Massacre." The Mr. Rochester character asks his new white wife Antoinette who was massacred here and she replies that she doesn't know and it doesn't matter either, so many have been killed. This is true wherever there has been slavery, so many killed it is hard to know who was killed and where and when.
Like George and Sabine's son, Sebastian, you were sent to boarding school in England at a relatively young age. Were youlike Sebastiansent away so that you didn't grow up "too" Trinidadian?
Yes. And it worked. But in a most unusual way. I am an outsider in both the UK and in Trinidad. This suits me. Writers need to stay on the outside of society, as observers. I very much relate to the mad woman in the attic, the white Creole woman with frizzy hair; that's me, this upstart. Chain her up, hide her away. She might be crazy. Much to say here!
Why did you choose to make your fictional proxy male? Do you have a sibling like Pascale who stayed in Trinidad during his or her school years? If so, how close are you now?
I was born in April and my parents almost called me Pascale. If I'd never left Trinidad I may have grown up into a woman just like her; a hard drinker, a limer, and married to a rich man I do not love! Sebastian, the son is a bit like me, the prodigal child who comes from the metropolis and has a good job and seems very educated. But he says "Don't worry, the grass is not greener." I feel very strongly that I may choose to reside in a developed capital city, but I do not see Trinidad as a less interesting placequite the opposite. And while some Trinidadians look to Europe or the States as somewhere more credible, the vast majority of Trinidadians are fiercely passionate about their country. You just have to be here for Carnival to see that.
I have a brother who lives in Trinidad. Like me, he went to a British boarding school and then university in Canada. But he chose to live, work, and marry in Trinidad and is much more local than me… he is nothing like the characters in this book.
You split your time between London and Trinidad. Do you consider yourself a Caribbean writer or an English one? Where do you feel most at home?
I am Trinidadian by birth and half English by blood and possess two passports. Roffey is a very English name. My father was an Englishman. But I am a white Creole, to be exact about it; I have been mixed up into the culture of Trinidad. While I am most at home in London, I cannot really label myself as either British or Trinidadian. I write in the English language and live in the UK. I find it hard to say that I am an entirely British writer, especially when I supported Trinidad in the 2006 World Cup and also support the West Indies cricket team.
What is the current political situation in Trinidad? How has your novel been received there?
The novel has been received extremely well here. Patrick Manning and the PNM were voted out of office in early 2010; we have a new female prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar and a new party and I think she's an awful lot better than any prime minister I've seen so far. We have a Canadian chief of police who has been here a year, too. All this is promising.
In the novel, Sebastian and Sabine discuss the "murder a day" (p. 88) in Trinidad. Does this estimate still hold true?
The murder rate is still high, yes.
The blimp that you describe hovering over Port of Spain seems so preposterous that it's shocking to discover that it's real and not your fictional creation. Is it still there? Can you talk a bit about how it came to be and the people's response to its presence?
Since the new government, it has been taken down and we no longer see it. But exactly what the blimp was really doing remains a mystery to me.
What are you working on now?
My erotic memoir With the Kisses of His Mouth is out in June in the UK. I have been working on a novel the last few months, called Archipelago. I have been traveling a lot through the Dutch islands and to South America and living in Trinidad the last few months. It begins and ends in Trinidad; it is an adventure story, and has something to do with Moby-Dick; that's all I can say for now.

Pay tribute to the soldiers who fought at Omaha Beach on this afternoon tour of the Normandy beaches from Bayeux. You'll visit the famous battlefield sites of World War II and gain invaluable insights into the wartime experience of the soldiers who fought and died there. Your minivan holds a maximum of eight passengers, and a small group tour is the perfect way to get to out-of-the-way places in one day.
- Comprehensive tour by bus/coach
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Led by a local guide
- All entrance fees included
- Step back in time on a history tour
From Bayeux you'll drive to Pointe du Hoc, where the infamous German gun position threatened the Allied ships all the way to Utah and Omaha. The site was attacked by the elite 2nd U.S. Rangers, commanded by Lt. Col. James Rudder, who scaled the cliffs to get there. With its huge fortifications blown to pieces, the important site remains as it was when the Rangers left it and looks like a lunar landscape.
You'll then drive along the coast to Omaha Beach, where soldiers of the Vierville 29th and Colleville 1st Divisions landed, fought and died. This operation was the bloodiest of the five beaches and almost failed, but the bravery of those young men turned this operation into a victory. The two stops along the 4-mile beach will give you an appreciation of the sheer scale of the events that took place.
Overlooking the eastern end of Omaha Beach, the American cemetery holds the bodies of 9387 soldiers who came from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean to liberate Western Europe from the Germans. You can see the graves of some of the 307 unknown soldiers or visit the resting places of the more famous, such as the family who inspired the film "Saving Private Ryan" or General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. You will end your tour at the Normandy Visitor Center, which provides the all-important, and very moving, background details to the scenes that took place on Omaha Beach in 1944.

Mother Earth's favorite timepiece - the Sprout watch
Article Summary
Sporting a Rolex watch is certainly an effective way of showing off your wealth, but what if you want to show off your environmental consciousness? What timepiece would let you do that? It would have to be something that incorporates low-impact, sustainable and biodegradable materials, that doesn't contain hazardous substances, and that supports recycling. A good "green" name would help too… a name like Sprout.

It's not up to them. It's the corporation that owns the complex that makes the rules. The landlord wants to allow directv but the coporation won't let them. Something about not wanting more than one dish and holes in the buildings. Plus it has to be the size of the dish network dish not any larger.
First, the person you are dealing with is not the landlord, they are the property manager. Landlord and owner would be the same. That is the corporation.Does the apartment building or apartment complex have a main DishNetwork satellite antenna installation that is designed to serve all the apartments? Or does each apartment have to contract with DishNetwork on their own and get their own antenna? Your description, of only one antenna per building, sounds like what is known as a master or main antenna with distribution from it to multiple apartments. If that is the situation, I am not sure what legal rules would apply to compel the owners to allow DirecTV.
All I was told is that it had to be on a pole on the side of the building where no one can see it and they can't drill holes in the walls.Also I was told that the directv dish was too large according to the corporation. Plus no one in the complex I live at has a dish.
You can challenge them on the antenna size with the FCC regulation allowing a 1 meter antenna diameter. The DirecTV antenna is 22.5 in. x 32.5 in = approximately 731.5 square inches. The DishNetwork antenna is 23.8h x 30.9"w= approximately 735.42 square inches. They are about the same size. You may have to use, or make, a close fitting window spacer block to allow the antenna cable to go into the apartment. The other option is the special flat window cable Storm97 mentioned.
Should I risk getting evicted? Also I believe they are referring to the three lnb or 5 lnb dishes. They claim dish has a one-lnb dish plus something about line of sight for dish only but I don't think that is possible.
The line of sight issue might be relevant. DishNetwork and DirecTV satellites are in different locations in outerspace relative to any particular location on Earth. It could be that in order to get a stable signal the DirecTV pole/antenna placement would have to be placed in one of the common areas that the FCC regulations deal with. The DishNetwork pole/antenna may be able to be located within the no restriction area described by the FCC regulation. I am not allowed to have satellite TV because my apartment is located on the North side of the apartment building, is situated below a huge concrete/steel retaining wall, and dense tree line. To get a good satellite signal would require placing the pole about 30 feet to the side of the building in a definite common area. In fact it would be right next to the entrance roadway, making it vulnerable to being collided with.It might be wise for you to contact a local DirecTV installer and pay them to do a detailed site survey. Make it explicitly clear to them that you are only paying for information about exactly where the pole and antenna would need to go to get consistently good signal reception. I do not know if you should explain that you need the detailed installation data to challenge an apartment owners restrictions on DirecTV installations. You do not want them bending the truth just to make a future sale. You need the absolute highest integrity about the data concerning placement.You can also go to this website »www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/···ator.htm and get a rough idea of where the pole might be placed depending on the satellites needed to be used. At the bottom of the pull down list of individual satellites is a list for multi LNB antennas from DirecTV and DishNetwork.

Charlottesville police say this time of year they see an increase in burglaries. And what you put on the curb could tip off the thieves.
Police say the boxes at the end of your driveway can show a criminal exactly what fancy gifts are inside your home. However, what tempts them even more is social media updates saying a family will be out of town.
Police say a simple Twitter message or Facebook status update about leaving the area can signal to criminals that it's a good time to target your home.
They say the best way to guard your home while you are out of town is to tell your neighbors to keep an eye on your house. You may even ask them to park one of their cars in your driveway to make it appear like someone is home.
Police also say you should recycle your Christmas gift boxes right away.

How do you soil the Three Floyds name? Collaborate with Mikkeller and/or BrewDog!
Ugly pour, dirty brown with mild head. Smells godawful... So much peat; reminiscent of licking the underside of your hiking boots after spending a week in the forest. Taste isn't much better, with smokey peat malt and dirty socks everywhere you turn. Perfect beer to unclog your drain.

According to the bottle, this beer was brewed in August of 2010 and is best before 2016.
Not a particularly appealing beer looks-wise, this beer has lots of sediment visible in the cloudy, muddy brown liquid. The head was about a quarter finger thick, fizzy and rapidly dissipated into a thin lace at the center of the beer. There's steady carbonation apparent and not much else of note.
I get a lot of raisin on the nose, as well as the peaty aroma of whiskey, some boozy astringency and dark fruit. The raisin and peat are most prominent. There's also a bit of a smoky charcoal aroma.
Woosa, this beer is very whiskey-like! A huge, smokey, peaty flavor hits the mouth immediately and lingers strongly on my tongue. With the highly carbonated mouthfeel, this adds a tingling tongue sensation that almost reminds me of what a Seven and Seven would feel and taste like. There are some sweet caramelly notes and earthy hops in there too, it just takes a minute to discover them with the intensity of the previously mentioned flavor notes. As I continue to drink, the raisin notes from the nose emerge a bit as well.
I don't detect any alcohol astringency, despite the whiskey presence, so the beer drinks relatively smoothly. The aftertaste is intense and not faint for the heart, if smokiness and charcoal don't sound appealing to you, I don't advise drinking this, however, I am enjoying it.
I'd say there are deficiencies with this beer and it's not perfect, but it is quite an adventure and a beer I'm not likely to forget. However, I think I paid a pretty penny for this beer and can't justify that again.

The colour is brown-red (50 EBC), the liquid is clear. The finger thick beige head sinks slowly leaving no lacing on the glass.
The smell is sweet-tart with some smokey notes. Band-aid, cream, gooseberries, red currants and some toffee. Quite a lot of alcohol.
The taste is very woody. It is dry with distinct high alcohols. Whiskey, salt and butterscotch. Quite a lot of oaked notes and some green fruits. Medium body. The aftertaste got hot alcohol, oak and whiskey flavours. The finish is rather smooth with wooden notes.
The carbonation is quite strong. The small bubbles are long lasting in the mouth. The liquid is dry and a bit harsh.
An experimental brew that probably was more fun to make than to drink (at least after a few years).

Murky brown color with a fluffy two finger head with low retention and floating particles.
Predominant aroma of smoked ham, earthy hops, spices, caramels and peat-ashes duet.
Taste follows nose and definitely a sipper. Flavor of peppery yeast, peat, vanilla, oak, whisky, lots of resiny hops and a citrus, sulfur and earthy hint. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 11.5% abv is well hidden.
Not that complex, but still an excellent assertive choice of Barley Wine for whisky lovers. Nevertheless, if you never liked good Scotch and it is expecting a fruity Barley Wine, don't pour it in the drain, simply don't open the bottle and send it to my address. We'll both be thankful.

This was just ridiculous.
A - Amber color with two fingers of head and decent lacing.
S - Smoke, oily hops, alcohol. Mostly smoke. A lot of smoke.
T/M - Smoke, burnt rubber, scotch.
O - This is just an onslaught on the palate. It would be worth the try for $1.30, but not for the $13.00 I paid for it.

Served in a Duvel tulip glass.
Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to order one of these from some nice young lass at a bar... Anyway, this stuff pours a clear ruby-amber topped by a finger of liht khaki foam. The nose comprises burnt toffee, peat smoke, booze, light vinyl, and pine resin. The taste brings in more of the same, with the combined forces of booze, peat, and resin forming a horrible gauze-dipped-in-gasoline-and-set-on-fire flavor that makes it nigh impossible to drink easily. The body is a straight medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a drying finish. Overall, the peat was just too strong in this beer. I'm a fan of the smokier Scotch brands out there, but this just overdoes things in the worst ways.

Why you should cool it with the corporate jargonSeptember 28, 2011: 10:24 AM ET
Life in corporate America is riddled with office speak, acronyms and other crimes against language. But there are a host of reasons to steer clear of insider lingo.
By Laura Vanderkam, contributor
FORTUNE -- Could this conversation happen in your office?
"The CST is writing an LOP by EOD."
"We don't have the bandwidth for that now."
"Yeah, but think about the ROI!"
For many white-collar types, the answer is a grimace-inducing yes. Life in corporate America is riddled with jargon, acronyms and other crimes against language. We make fun of them -- filling white boards with the worst examples -- then go right back to talking about "onboarding" someone, as if we're starring in our very own Dilbert cartoon.
Why do we do it?
"There's an internal pride of having your own little language," says Michael Crom, executive vice president and chief learning officer at Dale Carnegie Training, which runs training sessions for companies to help employees communicate and perform better. People like to think, "I know something the outsiders don't know," he says. Especially in a harsh economy, it's nice to feel like you're part of a tribe of people who've got your back; people who speak in the same tongue as you.
But while ripping off a string of acronyms at a weekly staff meeting seems harmless enough, communication experts warn against giving into the temptation, even with co-workers. Here's why:
1. You probably hired someone in the last six months.
Unless your new hires go through a hazing ritual where you explain all your company's acronyms and phrasing quirks, they can be in the dark for a while, even if they use the acronyms themselves. Think about it -- you use the "cc" function on email every day, and yet how many people under age 30 know what it means? (Carbon copy, ask your parents). The biggest problem for a manager is that there's a chance that your new hires will be too embarrassed to ask you to explain.
"If I'm sitting in a meeting, and someone uses some jargon, and I don't understand what it is, am I going to put up a hand and say 'I don't understand what you're saying?'" asks Sandra Folk, Toronto-based founder and director of The Language Lab, which provides online writing training. Probably not, which can lead to subpar results.
2. Jargon is imprecise.
What does it mean to be "out of pocket" for the day? Does that mean you will be out of the office and won't be reachable by phone or email? Are you doing some serious thinking about company strategy and hence don't want to schedule any meetings? All are reasonable statements and so there's no need to be vague, and there are plenty of reasons not to be if you'd actually welcome an email response to an earlier question.
Rather than talking about "external stakeholders," saying who these people are reminds you why you care about them. How can you "move forward" if your assistant doesn't know what that means? Do you want a phone call or meeting scheduled? Do you want a contract in your inbox by Monday? "If it's not clear, then you have to spend more time figuring it out, and time is money," Folk says.
3. It becomes a habit... and then gets you in trouble.
Using acronyms and jargon mindlessly among "internal stakeholders" is one thing, but eventually, you'll find yourself talking to someone else. And then it's easy to forget that not everyone lives in your little universe, or wants to. Communication "is not about you, it's about the listener," says Jodi Glickman, author of Great on The Job. "It doesn't matter what you say, it's what the listener hears."
Use office acronyms that make perfect sense to you with your mother-in-law and she may think you're a jerk for talking in a way she can't understand. Or a potential client may become angry enough about having to ask you what a "CST" is that -- even though it means a client service team, and is about serving her -- she decides to go with a different vendor who's not so condescending.
Crom says his organization has come up with ways to stamp out the worst abuses internally. At a Dale Carnegie company gathering a few years ago, people staged a skit laden with jargon and acronyms. The company's management wanted employees to "realize you could go for many minutes without ever using full words," says Crom. "The point was to get them to use real words. Customers don't really want to hear jargon, they don't understand it."
To root out office jargon, Crom suggests creating a lunch fund, where people fine themselves a dollar for every language offense. The more you catch each other, the bigger the lunchtime party you can throw.
And finally, managers need to set a good example. "The best attorney doesn't explain a document to a client in legal terms. He explains it in a way a lay person understands," says Glickman. "A really great doctor does the same thing." The best business leaders, likewise, speak and write in ways that move people to do things, rather than ponder what exactly "onpassing" means (apparently, it's short for "passing this on").

One of the most wonderful rewards from a garden full of color is the visits by the butterflies. It is easy to make your garden hospitable to these wonderful winged creatures. Late summer and early fall provides a feast for the eyes when the yellow clouded sulphur butterflies visit. They love the red flowers of my turk's cap hibiscus and at times there have been actual clouds of them flitting around the blooms. This plant is not only attractive to butterflies but also to another welcome visitor to my garden–the hummingbirds.
It is important to know and recognize the four life cycle stages of the butterfly so that you can be a good host to each of the four stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and the winged adult, the butterfly. Once you know and recognize the four stages, it is necessary to accommodate the four stages with whatever their needs are: food or shelter. The adult butterflies will lay their eggs on host plants so that the larvae will have the necessary food to grow to the next stage, the caterpillar. Most butterflies are fairly specific about what they like to eat. One of the most picky is the monarch who will only lay eggs only on milkweed. The black swallowtail which is very common to this area lays eggs on dill, carrot, fennel, or parsley. I frequently see the caterpillars crawling up the stems of my parsley plants so I plant lots of those so there is enough for me and the caterpillars. Caterpillars need a sturdy protected place to attach and form the chrysalis. Adult butterflies live on the sweet flavored nectar found in flowers. Since butterflies are near-sighted, large sweeps of flowers half attract them. They suck the nectar with their mouths which are straw-like, so they are partial to long tubular flowers found on butterfly bushes, lantana, pentas, and butterfly weed. They will also visit pansies, marigolds, and impatiens. Flowers such as verbena and daisies are good because they have compound flowers which provide many nectar containers for sipping. Butterflies have a great sense of smell which guides them to the flowers with rich nectar. Humans and butterflies are attracted to flowers that smell sweet.
Butterflies are cold blooded; their body temperature depends on the air temperature. They prefer full sun. But the flowers that are especially attractive to butterflies also tend to be ones that do well in full sun. Butterflies like to warm themselves on stepping stones or gravel. I have a cluster of smooth black stones that I purchased at local big box store in case the visiting butterflies need a resting place. Male butterfly adults like to puddle; take a shallow container and fill with sand and then keep it wet for them. On a visit to the butterfly garden in Houston Texas, I noticed bowls of fruit placed around for the butterflies to visit; I have seen special containers in garden catalogues to hold the fruit.
Butterflies also need shelter on cloudy, windy, or rainy days so include woody or blooming shrubs in your butterfly garden. These sturdy bushes can also provide a place for the caterpillars to attach their chrysalis. Many hosts plants, like fennel, can also provide a sturdy place for the caterpillar to attach the chrysalis.
The most important thing to remember in butterfly gardening is to be really careful with chemicals sprayed near your plants. It is best to spot-treat insects with insecticidal soaps or oils which leave no chemical residue which can harm the caterpillar. Even better is to pick some insect pests off by hand. Or try a big spray of water from your garden hose.
A few well-chosen plants (and the knowledge of a butterfly's needs) can provide you, the gardener, with many delightful hours and as, Martha Stewart would say, "a good thing."
It has been several weeks since I had the time to sit long enough to compose a blog. Between preparing for and working at our Master Gardener plant sales and getting plants for summer color into the ground at my house and the Jacksonville Pocket Park, inside time at the computer has been at a real premium. Planting my summer containers has been really fun this year as I have tried to incorporate lots of sun coleus into the design. If you have not added coleus to your landscape, you are missing a real treat. In the old days coleus were relegated to the shade garden only, but now there are dozens of new cultivars who love the sun. On the plus side the plants with colorful leaves can take the heat; on the minus side they do need watering. Keep them pinched back and they will grow into thick, bushy plants.
If you would like to try something different in the ground and in containers, consider planting sedum and yuccas. These sun loving plants require much less water. And the variety is endless.
As you choose plants for summer color remember to plant those that are inviting to the butterflies, the hummingbirds, and the bees. These three are welcome visitors to all of our gardens.
Unfortunately, this time of the year has also brought lubber grasshoppers. These unwanted guests are black with orange stripes. My garden does not have just one, but it has hundreds. They spend their days munching on whatever tastes good to them. Meanwhile, they just get bigger and bigger. Sometimes spraying them with sevin when they are very small might kill a few of them. Once they have attained any size, the only way to get rid of them is with the flat side of a shovel. And when you kill them they make kind of squishing sound.
The joys of a warm weather garden are many, whether it is with a plot of summer vegetables, herbs, or blooming flowers. With the beauty that comes with our longer days we are able to overlook the mosquitos, the grasshoppers, and the heat to enjoy a bountiful crop of juicy tomatoes or a bed of breathtaking roses.
'One Man's Treasure', 'Afternoon Delight', 'Elvis Lives', 'Guacamole', 'Squash Casserole'!! Hosta!!! Just like potato chips – you can't just have one. I, thus, have dozens – often choosing them purely by the whimsy in their names. For those who have not added hosta to the landscape, it is time to do just that. The garden shops are chock-full of these marvelous hardy herbaceous perennials grown for their wonderful and colorful foliage. The leaves come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and textures -- and can be solid or variegated in combinations of blue, green, yellow and my favorite, chartreuse. Just last week I bought one called 'Orange Marmalade' which has an orange tint to the leaves. As for texture, I love the ones with the thick, highly corrugated leaves – often making them impervious to slugs (more about that later). Hosta are low maintenance and widely available. They are featured in catalogs, such as the one from Plant Delights Nursery which lists dozens of interesting cultivars. There are tiny ones like 'Stiletto' which grow only a few inches across or huge ones like 'Sum and Substance' which get several feet across. Some can get just inches high and others can reach two feet.
Although hosta are primarily grown for their foliage, they do produce flowers from early summer to fall. Flowers grow on long spikes and range from white to lavender or purple and may be fragrant. Some folks do not like the flowers and promptly remove them. Butterflies and hummingbirds like the flowers, so I have begun to enjoy them more.
Hosta are shade-tolerant plants but they, like many other shade lovers, do not like deep shade. They prefer dappled morning sun and afternoon shade. Some will tolerate a little afternoon sun, but their leaves may get sunburned. The blue-leafed hosta require more shade and the gold, yellow and white-leafed hosta can tolerate more sun. Hosta with fragrant flowers do like some half a day of sun. 'Fragrant Bouquet', 'Guacamole', 'Fried Green Tomatoes' and 'Sum and Substance' all will tolerate some sun. (Don't you just love the names!) Please remember that the more sun a hosta gets, the more water it will need to thrive. For those of you looking for long- lived plants for your garden, hosta are just the plant for you. A little slow release fertilizer is appreciated in early spring. Unless attacked by voles or wandering deer, they will remain in your garden for years. Deers love hosta and the pricier the plant the better the plant tastes. (This is not scientific fact just personal observation.) I use a product made of putrefied eggs to spray all my hosta with after the deer consumed most of mine one year. Voles, small mouse-like creatures that tunnel under the mulch and devour the entire root system, can also do lots of damage; I have lost many beloved hosta to these small creatures. (Since voles like to crawl under mulch, pulling back your mulch from the base of your plants might prove helpful; removing it entirely from a bed may help convince the voles not to remain in your garden. The only drawback here is that the mulch is really good for the garden; I compromise and keep it away from the base of the plant.) To do battle with the voles I went to two methods, planting the hosta in containers and planting those in the ground with moats of Permatill surrounding the root ball. Permatill, actually a soil amendment is a product (a soil aggregate) made of small rocks and is advertised as a volebloc, as supposedly the voles don't like to crawl through the rocks to get to the root. The Permatill did help deter much of the damage once I started using it. Years ago I put out mouse traps laden with peanut butter and oatmeal; the only thing I caught were my own fingers. Years ago we had a terrible problem with rats getting under our house, so we had to hire a service which dispatched them; when we dispatched the rats our vole problems disappeared. Enough said on that topic.
Another garden enemy to hosta are slugs who will munch and munch and munch. Some gardeners may put out small containers of beer (a drink irresistible to slugs and snails) which the slugs drown in; there are also slug baits but caution is needed as those products can poison pets. I have used diatomaceous earth and a product called Sluggo which is supposed to be safe to use in the garden for pets and the environment. A friend puts out boards which the slugs crawl under and then she cleans off daily. I have heard of others pouring salt around their hosta but I would not recommend that method as it is bad for your soil and anything else there.
Hosta, like all other things in our gardens, prefer well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. They need ample moisture during their growing season – at least an inch per week. You can plant, transplant, and divide hosta in the early fall or in the spring before the leaves unfold. It is much harder on the plant if you do those chores during summer's heat. Just a few weeks ago I spent days bumping my hosta to bigger pots. By the way hosta do great in containers. Not only are they not bothered by voles, but you can also move them out of range of the local deer herd; the extra chill in the air from being in a container is actually enjoyed by the hosta root system.
With more than 2,000 registered cultivars of hosta in existence, there is one for every personality and every garden. Choose some of each color, size, and leaf shape and prepare to quickly become a collector. Sit back and enjoy the spring show as their marvelous leaves unfold. You and your garden will be the better for it! (Now, where did I put my Plant Delights catalog?)
By the way the MGs will sell 'Sun Power' hosta at our first plant sale of the season, April 21, from 8 until 11 at Cane Creek Community Gardens at McClellan. 'Sun Power' is more sun tolerant than many other hosta culitvars.

It's been ages and ages since I last visited here, been through a lot of changes in life, but I too found a hole that could only be filled with some good old fashion Diablo gaming ;-)

To paraphrase from the movie Shrek: Ogres are like onions — you have to peel away their layers to see what lies beneath. The same can be said of incentive qualifiers. How do you know what really motivates them unless you dig deep? And how do you choose a destination that will strongly appeal to many, if not all, to satisfy your sales goals?
That's what Tourism Australia wanted to find out. Last year, TA commissioned an online survey of 537 U.S. residents who were eligible for an incentive award or who had recently received one. The results are a revealing look at where qualifiers want to go. The answers were cross-referenced by industry sector.
Cash and international travel are the most motivating incentives for employees in the medical and pharmaceutical business sectors, which most often use incentive travel as a motivator.
After an international trip, an international cruise is the most popular selection. International trips appeal most to younger employees and those in the pharmaceutical, IT, and financial/insurance sectors. Participants were asked what would be most motivating as an incentive destination. While Australia is the most motivating destination for most respondents, for pharma, Italy was the most motivating destination. Africa also interests the medical sector. Employees in the pharma sector also have a narrower repertoire of destinations than those in other sectors, and medical and pharmaceutical employees show a tendency toward more "exotic" destinations.

New American1 of 19
By Martine Bury
With modern twists on traditional all-American decor, six U.S. cities are getting a fresh new design style.
Los Angeles2 of 19
"L.A. style is about creating a casually cool mix of pieces in spacious architectural rooms that take advantage of the city's indoor-outdoor lifestyle." —Jamie Bush, Jamie Bush & Co.
Hard Elements3 of 19
The copper base and smoked glass of this side table adhere to a neutral, nature-friendly palette, while the architectural ribbing is contemporary and eye catching.
Modern Marvels4 of 19
Choose pieces that take cues from modernist design. "I used this arm Alma chair in a midcentury modern home just outside Los Angeles," says Jamie. "We floated the piece in the middle of the living room because, like art or a great sculpture, it looks great at any angle."

Aspen5 of 19
"The landscape is so dramatic, you don't need to bring the mountain elements inside in such a staged or overt way.

The owners were very helpful and welcoming. This is in a beautiful area, with fabulous views, and in a rural position. The house was comfortable and well equipped. It was an easy walk to an excellent restaurant up the the hill. we would happily return here.
Comfortable Ocean view Villa with large private park within walking distance from a little Tuscan hill town
The house was very satisfactory, clean and bright with plenty of space for five adults and a lovely garden and veranda. It was not as close to the sea as we had expected, not understanding fully the Italian "marittimo". The washing machine broke down but the situation was fixed very quickly by the wonderful caretaker. We had a chance to visit some beautiful places in Tuscany from this base as it was not a long drive from there to other towns. On the whole, a very nice stay.
Luxury Villa with great views. Completly renovated - First rentals start May 2013!
This was a very nice house, and the family who own it were very helpful. It would be a good idea to have more chairs in the sitting room area. Thomas from the agency was always very helpful

Alan, Ron, Laura, Debbi, Manon, Christine, Allison, Wendy from Quebec
Typical Tuscan villa with gorgeous pool area and privileged views of the countryside between Pisa and Lucca
Stunning location, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Photos did not do the villa justice especially the one of the kitchen area, which was well equipped and easily able to cope with our party of 10. Stefano the owner and his family were kind, helpful and gracious and always willing to help and pass on their local knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Especially recommend the 'Italian' themed evenings when the family bring in a chef to serve a several course meal.

wonderful location and villa - Highly recommended. Many thanks
CHIANTI: Typical Tuscan Villa with Pool, 5 bedrooms, splendid position inside a great winery
My family and I went tocelebrate my 50th birthday in mid-September. We stayed in the Vill Chianti Bianco. The whole experience was incredibly relaxing. You are literally in the middle of a field of vines. The house itself is clean and rustic and rather basic but it goes so wonderfully well with the overall setting. The peacefulness and the raw beauty of the surrounding landscape is so great. We were only five people but could easily have been five more given the five bedrooms. We stocked up at the excellent Coop supermarket in Montevarchi and stayed in the house two out of five nights. For the other three we got very good recommendations. We were exceptionally well taken care of by Marco and Nada and you really get a sense of being a valued guest. This is not a hotel but the help we got with transports, reservations and advice was better than what you get from most concierge desks. When Nada and Marco were off, head winemaker Stefano pitched in. This is a truly family-run place and you feel it as a guest. Thanks to all of you. We hope to be back!
Charming Tuscan villa within walking distance from the stunning town of Greve in Chianti, with its large square full of cafes, restaurants, wine shops

I find it good product! I can even adjust it's contrast while calculating. I don't know pretty much about XXX MS systems but help me to solve my paper as soon as i was expecting. If you have to set contrast press Mode button thrice + press Number 2 then you could see text like this < light and Dark >. If you need the black levels should be light then press < (left key) as you need. if you need dark then press > (right key) for high black levels.
Thanks > No doubt about Flipkart service. It's rocking!
Not as many functions as the 991MS but good enough. Comfortable size and buttons. A lot of functions available. More than enough utility for an MBA college. No solar option.
Flipkart was bang on with its delivery and packing. No complaints regarding that.
I had ordered this calculator for my cousin who lives in Kerala, this got delivered to him in just two days, he tells me that the calculator is superb and just what he wanted. I had using same model in my college days five years and really loved it then.
According to me, at this price, it is by far the best scientific calculator you can rely on....................Easy to use, Functionality, Durability and Portability are just Fantastic and after all, its CASIO (The leading company in making calculators).....
Very good for School students......especially for class 11 and 12 science students.....
Casio is the name preferred when one thinks of scientific calculators. The only other name which holds its equal with Casio is Texas Scientific. Yet, people prefer Casio due to its ease of use, durability, availability in the market and pricing.
This calculator with the least number of scientific functions works well for general use/high school use. It is built very well and I find it more appealing and easier to use than the ES model of the same. The adjustable contrast function is a very welcome feature considering that this model does not feature auxilary solar power backup. Having AA batteries as its primary power source also makes it easier for change of batteries as compared to the button cells featured in the upper end 991 models.
Definitely worth buying as a starter scientific calculator.
A word of advice: remove batteries if you are not going to be using it for a very long time.
