This was definitely one of the best homes we have ever rented! The pictures don't begin to describe this lovely home. It was well stocked with everything from kitchen tools to beach towels and toys. The beach was lovely and away from the crowds and the kids loved trying out the paddle boards. The landscaping was well-maintained, the decor inviting, and Stan and Linda went out of their way to answer all questions and check in us periodically. There was plenty of space for our group of 13 to spread out and re-group for dinner and evening entertainment on the deck or the sun-porch. Whether making s'mores on the upstairs fire-pit or enjoying a ballgame on the 65" screen TV downstairs, there was never a shortage of things to do. Close to town, yet private, this location gave us everything we were looking for and more. We could easily walk to the Old Channel Inn and walk to the pier from the beach. We can't wait to visit again!Owner response: Linda and I enjoyed hosting your family group this past summer and we look forward to your return next year.

The accommodations were just right for 4 couples, 5 teenagers, and 2 younger boys. Owner was very responsive to our needs before we arrived so we were wanting for nothing after we arrived. Can't believe we had so much relaxation and fun.Owner response: Pleased you enjoyed your stay. The weather was great! Thank you.

The house was perfect for our family vacation! We came from 4 states and range in age from 86 to 5. There was something for everyone. The young adults especially enjoyed the game room and had a blast kayaking. We enjoyed gathering together on the deck in the evening to watch the beautiful sunsets. The house is immaculate! Stan and Linda have thought of everything. The rooms are spacious and the large dining table on the porch was perfect for sharing meals together and playing games at night. Because some of us live far apart this was the first time we have ALL been together in many years, which made it a very special week. We took numerous family photos and will have great memories to last a lifetime. I can't say enough great things about this house. Thanks, Stan and Linda, for sharing your beautiful home!Owner response: We are delighted you enjoyed your vacation at The Lake House. Thank you.

The Old Channel Lake House is the perfect place to spend a week with family and enjoy all the comforts of home plus a beautiful beach right outside the door. The house was large (there were 14 in our group -- nobody ever felt crowded) and very clean and well appointed. The beds were comfy, the linens luxurious. We hadn't planned to cook much on vacation but the kitchen here was enormous and had every utensil and dish you could want so we prepared lots of meals in the house. Lovely large eating space on the huge porch with gorgeous views of the lake. There's so much to do here; you really don't have to leave the property! The beach and the lake provide lots of entertainment. And there are kayaks! If you must be inside, the hosts have provided games galore and there's a media room for watching movies. The gazebo was a favorite gathering place for family as was the deck overlooking the beach and the lake. We saw some amazing sunsets. Stan and Linda are so accommodating and easy to work with. They've done a good job of presenting the house on the website -- it's just as great in person as in the pictures. And all the amenities are as advertised. We could not have been happier and look forward to a return trip next summer.Owner response: Linda & I were delighted to host your family group this summer and we look forward to your return next summer. Thank you.

Stayed at this house for a family vacation and everyone loved it. The home is beautiful and was spotless when we arrived. We spent most of our time at the beach, which was amazing. The owners provided everything you need to spend the day there (chairs, kayaks, toys, etc..). The deck on the bluff is perfect for watching the sunsets and enjoying the lake views. The owners, Stand and Linda, are great. They are very helpful and have thought of everything you could possibly need during the week. We will definitely be coming back next year.Owner response: It was a delight to host your family group this summer and we look forward to your return next year.

Stan and Linda were very accommodating and helpful while planning our stay. Their lake house is absolutely beautiful. It has a state of the art kitchen and high end appliances throughout the house. It has every comfort for adults and is child friendly, including a gate to close off the stairs. The owners turned the garage into a game room. It came in handy on a rainy day to entertain both children and adults :) There are so many rooms/beds and bathrooms. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The view of the lake from the house is astounding! There is a deck off of the house, a gazebo, and lakefront deck. Having small kids, we were happy to see the deck and stairs leading to the beach were enclosed. We also enjoyed cooking on the brand new Weber gas grill. There is even a hose at the top of the stairs to rinse with when returning from the beach. Stan and Linda really did think of everything when building this home. We will be returning next year!Owner response: We enjoyed your visit and we look forward to hosting your vacation next year.

An amazing house and location right on Lake Michigan. The property was very clean and well maintained, good details and pictures in the listing, and great information and support from the owners. Stan met us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the house, and let us know he would be available if we had any issues or questions through the week. There were a total of 16 people for the week, 9 children from 3 to 13 and 7 adults. The house easily held all of us and the way the kitchen and the eating area are arranged makes it a breeze to handle a large group. Plenty of spaces within the House, game room, video room, etc. along with a nice yard and a short climb down some stairs to the beach kept all of us plenty busy for the week. In Montague, we found everything we needed to buy for the week at Montague Foods and prepared almost all the meals at the house, taking advantage of the well appointed kitchen and grill. Right by Montague Foods is Twisters Ice Cream, also located on the bike trail, and worth a trip. We did do a day trip to Michigan Adventure - to be honest I would recommend skipping that and just enjoy the house and the beach - and part of a day seeing a movie when there was a little rain. Overall, we highly recommend this property and are looking to stay at it again next year!Owner response: We are delighted your family group enjoyed their vacation at the Lake House.

This property offers every amenity, and is in a perfect location-- with lots of room and all modern conveniences! We had an extraordinary week, and we shall return....... We had four families from around the country come together--sitting for dinner each evening on the lakeside porch, as the sun set across beautiful lake michigan....by day, we boated, skied, tubed, swam, beached it, kayaked, fished, golfed, biked, etc... by night, we shared stories and cocktails around the beach campfire..... We have rented for years in this area -- various properties. This one tops them all and the owners are class acts avail to meet our every need. We offer our highest recommendation on this property.Owner response: We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at the Old Channel Lake House and we look forward to hosting your return visit next year.

Mastodon NBA Tickets - Best Offseason Moves
NBA Tickets - Best Offseason Moves
NBA Tickets - Greatest Offseason MovesHere is a search at some of the greatest offseason moves that teams made this summer time.Miami Heat: It really is quite apparent that the Heat had a decent offseason. Landing arguably the best player in the league, maintaining yet another leading-5 player on your roster and adding yet another All-Star typically qualifies as a very good offseason. The Heat constructed themselves into a perennial energy this summer season with the acquisitions of LeBron James and Chris Bosh, as nicely as their accomplishment in maintaining Dwyane Wade, but did a excellent job of placing other reliable players close to those 3 in guys like Mike Miller and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. The Heat are almost certainly the favourite in the Eastern Conference now and could end up turning into a dynasty if factors go effectively. No matter what, this staff is going to be incredibly exciting in 2010-eleven and need to promote a ton of NBA tickets.Chicago Bulls: The Bulls may have elevated themselves to the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference this offseason, regardless of missing out on each of the Huge Three that went to South Seaside. The group last but not least landed a solid submit presence in Carlos Boozer and extra a shooter in Kyle Korver. The additions of Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson have been reliable, but I think Boozer's publish scoring and pick-and-roll presence will be the biggest addition to the crew. In addition, Korver's shooting touch should aid stretch the floor for Boozer and franchise level guard Derrick Rose.San Antonio Spurs: I did not like the deal they gave Richard Jefferson, but they got a enormous bargain in Euro import Tiago Splitter. The Brazilian center had turn out to be a single of the ideal massive men in Europe over the previous couple of seasons and the Spurs have held his rights considering that choosing him in the latter portion of the first round in 2008. The Spurs desperately required a defensive-minded center to relieve Tim Duncan of enjoying in the middle, as he did for considerably of final season. Splitter's presence must not only extend Duncan's effectiveness, but he came at a great cost. This was a traditional Spurs move.New York Knicks: I am nonetheless skeptical of the Amare Stoudemire contract, but the Raymond Felton deal was a fantastic a single. The Knicks required a stabilizing force at the level, which Felton will surely provide. The former Tar Heel loves acquiring out on the break and operating at a break-neck speed, which will suit him really nicely in Mike D'Antoni's offense. If he can carry on his hot shooting from final season, Felton could place up profession numbers in the Huge Apple in excess of the subsequent two years. Nevertheless, the ideal portion about this deal could be the length of the contract, a mere two years. This factor could allow the Knicks to go soon after Chris Paul in the summer season of 2012, unless they by some means trade for him before then. The Knicks also did a excellent job in getting value in return for departing totally free agent David Lee. Lee was leaving NY both way as soon as the team signed Stoudemire, so obtaining some assets in return for the forward was a fantastic perform. Anthony Randolph has star possible, Ronny Turiaf must provide some significantly-necessary interior defense and Kelenna Azubuike could be the team's starting two-guard after he is healthful. Utah Jazz: The Jazz didn't give up a lot for huge guy Al Jefferson. The Wolves had been working from a point of weakness since they'd admitted that they had to trade both Jefferson or Kevin Adore, but one particular would believe that they nonetheless could have gotten much more than a trade exemption and two 1st-round picks that are most likely to fall in the 20s. Jefferson was one of the league's most dominant post-scorers prior to going down with a knee damage two seasons ago. He did not very return to kind in 2009-10 but was successful and should be even more so this approaching season with an extra offseason of rest underneath his belt. The Jazz saved their offseason with this move, as Jefferson need to thrive under a half-court minded coach like Jerry Sloan.

Why Admiral Mullen is talking tough with Pakistan over Haqqani militants
In an uncharacteristically blunt move, US Adm. Mike Mullen said publicly that Pakistan had a 'longstanding relationship' with the Haqqani militant group. The US appears to be both prodding Pakistan to finally root out militants in its border region and attempting to set the parameters for Afghan peace talks.
New Delhi
With unusual bluntness, America's top military officer publicly accused Pakistani intelligence as having a "longstanding relationship" with a US enemy, the Haqqani Network. By zeroing in on this faction within the Afghan insurgency, the US appears to be prodding Pakistan to finally root out militants and attempting to set the parameters for Afghan peace talks.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
"It's fairly well known that the ISI has a long-standing relationship with the Haqqani network," Adm. Mike Mullen told the Pakistan newspaper Dawn before a meeting with Pakistan's military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani. "Haqqani is supporting, funding, training fighters that are killing Americans and killing coalition partners. And I have a sacred obligation to do all I can to make sure that doesn't happen."
Led by Afghan warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani and his son Sirajuddin, the Haqqani Network operates out of Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal agency. Holed up with them are intertwined global jihadists from groups that include Al Qaeda. The Pakistani military has led military operations to root out militants in other tribal areas but says it will not be able to tackle North Waziristan anytime soon.
For the Americans, time is running out for military progress on the Afghan border, however.
"The US announced certain deadlines, they want to start pullout [of Afghanistan] by July 2011, and give up security of Afghanistan by 2014. To do that, they need changes on the grounds quickly," says Ijaz Khattak, professor of international relations at Pakistan's Peshawar University. "The Haqqani Network has become a very serious bone of contention" between the US and Pakistan.

Lakeland's Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to enroll at Lakeland on a part-time or full-time basis, and earn college credit which may also be used to fulfill their high school graduation requirements.
The intent of the PSEO program is to offer a broad range of college level classes which provide educational opportunities not typically available in high school. Admission into this program is limited to high school students who have clearly demonstrated the ability to handle college-level coursework.
Criteria for participation Interested students and parents should first inquire about their high school's application policy for the PSEO program. A high school sponsored informational program may be required. Steps:

Google/Oracle judge loses interest in paid bloggers
Re: One thing about the US judicial system -
Judge Koh is not particularly patent friendly.
However, I get the impression she's been runover by a legal bus by this case. She seemed at various points to want both Samsung and Apple to settle. Also she didn't order an injunction against some Samsung products till her opinion was overruled by a higher court.

Mars probe crippled by buggy SSD successfully jury-rigged
Judge kneecaps Oracle's $1.3bn triumph over SAP
Judges unlikely to overturn 2 juries.
If a second jury comes out with similar figures, a judge is unlikely to overrule it.
I don't think there's a case where a judge has cut down a damages award after a retrial. I can only think of the Jammie Thomas case where successive judges have pruned awards on matters of law.
Oracle have little to lose
By going for a retrial - as one presumes SAP will be re-admitting criminal offences before a US jury, and therefore Oracle will be getting at least what the judge thinks in any event. Gambling a few million for a much larger return is good odds.
I can outline Oracles closing speech now:
Ladies and Gentlemen, SAP thinks that they should only have to pay a nominal amount for their systematic grand theft. I hope you the jury show these scumbags that theft is never profitable and stick it to them for the $1.7B that our expert recommends, and not the pissy $400mill that their expert thinks they should get away with. You complain that companies who steal get away with it, now is your chance to make it right....

Explaining the Chocolate Factory's Patent Panic
Yes but
Google already released their own phone, so spending 13B to fabricate some more would be waste of money perhaps. IIRC correctly Motorolas cellphone division lost money over the last few years, so I hope that Larry and Sergei do have a vision of where this purchase is going to go in the future
The patents probably have much wider scope than just the current cellphone squabbles though. There is Googles WebM technology that might be made safer by having their own patent armoury.
Hedy Lamarr
Requested a patent circa 1942, so it would have expired in 1962, well before mobile phones hit the road.
Of course, she should've created the MOASP (Mother Of All Submarine Patents) and played the patent office so it only issued 30 years later, when she'd really stand a chance of making money....
Facebook flashplodder to appeal against 4-yr cooler stint
Wasting police time
The message was posted at a time when every man and his dog were using social networks and emails to organise the riots, so I don't really regard the sentences as unfair. The fact that coppers turned up as a result of his actions shows that significant police effort had to be diverted at a time when every force was trying to send every policeman able to stand upright to deal with the problems in the major cities is a clear indication of the reason for the severity of the sentence.
"I f**king hate Cheshire police" and similar pages don't come into it; they're expressions of opinion, not incitement to violence.
BBC explains 'All your Twitter pics are belong to us' gaffe
@Steven Roper
While ignorance of the law is no excuse, the fact that the BBC is a professional media organisation should mean it has a duty of care to respect copyrights, and penalties against a world spanning organisation should be at a level to force compliance.
I'm not sure that Aus$250,000 is the right level (whatever that is in real money), but it should certainly be at a level that buys more than a couple of nights out to discourage casual use.
This is a diversion from me, as I'm normally arguing that the duration of copyright is far too long. But I've no objection to 20 or 30 years as incentive to get material into the public domain.

Why not simply drop Vulture 2 off the balloon on command. Your balloon will float up, Vulture 2 will drop a sufficient distance to clear the balloon and then fire its motor, and you can use the control surfaces to get Vulture 2 flying at the right attitude....
If you drop it off the balloon, you don't need a large distance between balloon and payload, and you don't need a counterweight.

Paul McCartney's ex-wife makes phone-hacking claim
Quite subtle cunning plan
He's not denying someone hacked a phone, just that he was compliant with the law in not publishing a story which he knew was obtained from phone hacking.
It appears that a common news industry trick would be to get the information through phone hacking, then tell the victim that they knew what had happened, and "invite" them to give their side of the story. Of course, once the victim told everything to the reporter they didn't need the illegally obtained details any more as they had corroboration of the story right out of the horses mouth, and could therefore publish away.....

Reg readers ponder LOHAN's substantial globes
In favour of hydrogen
If hydrogen explodes, it explodes upwards. Unless you plan to be standing on top of the balloon when it explodes, you have no problem.
Hydrogen is mucho cheaper
In addition, if you were really clever, you could have the hydrogen gradually empty from the balloon into the rocket tank with rising altitude and use if extra flight time.
Game graphics could be 100,000 times better
Water shouldn't be square

IIRC, it wasn't the hydrogen so much as the flammable skin and other materials which made the aircraft crispy. Hydrogen burns and goes upwards rapidly
Incidentally the biggest airship disaster wasn't the Hindenburg; it was the Akron, a helium filled vessel....

Russia: 'We'll dump the ISS into the sea after 2020'
Strap on some thrusters and send it on its way to a Mars orbit.
I grant it may take a few years to get there and as a result of its travel may need some repairs by the first crew to arrive.
However, by the time we have the technology to get there, at least we'd have a basic space station to dock at prior to descent to the surface.
Four illegal ways to sort out the Euro finance crisis
Mass killing of the unemployed.
I thought that was often the whole point of 19th century armies; put your surplus odds and sods in the army/ navy and send them off to fight a foreign war, and reward the (very) few who came back, preferably using your newly conquered territory as the reward.
Hmm, sounds like a plan; if we could get all the unemployed youth and over 60s into the Territorial Army and send them to Afghanistan maybe we would be on to something here...
Nepalese gov to nail Everest's bigness in row with China

Romanian NASA hacker fights 'inflated' damage assessment
We're in agreement that the charge should be based on the damage done, but the US seems to want to replace the clapped out old banger that was damaged with a brand new Ferrari.
That wouldn't work in any claim for damages and it shouldn't work here either
The US protesteth too much
Whilst an argument can be made that the guy should pay for the cost of fixing any damage he caused to systems, the cost of "putting things completely right" is something that should be born by the organisation.
Its a cost they should have incurred before the incident, and should be incurring on an ongoing basis in any event; NASA is a organisation which has information of economic and military value and its only reasonable to expect the information on its systems to be kept secure.
I'd suspect a charge of about $20,000 would be much more appropriate to conduct an audit of the affected systems and repair any damage caused. $200k is one nought too many and the US claim is two zeros too many.
German cops hunt HUGE ERECTION-inducing SPIDER
'Unconvincing' Met top cop Yates: My phone was hacked
Am I the only one with some sympathy?
Yes, but for example, he would have needed a warrant to search News International and get all their emails etc., and at the time I doubt he had enough evidence to show reasonable cause to search and disrupt such a large politically charged target.
Quite honestly, I suspect he had better things to do than have half the Met wading through emails. Like keeping policemen on the street reducing violent crime maybe
Assange™ in court to fight extradition order
One thing this case will do
Is that the Assange case will be a test of how far the EAW can go, and the level of evidence that is required to extradite someone.
There will probably be debate after the case is heard as to whether we are comfortable with the result.
Google gives in: Schmidt to face US antitrust grilling
Why crazy??
All CEOs get caught saying some strange things, but I would suspect that Page and Brin are less versed where politics and business merge. That was one of the reasons why Schmidt was appointed in the first place; its a given that, despite his Novell/ Apple history, he is less versed in the technology and probably is not a visionary like Page and Brin, but I'm sure his real world experience is invaluable.
WTO: China being naughty over rare-earth exports
@Antione: You are doing it wrong.
You've indirectly stated the problem with human rights issues. It's how 100% of the population get treated that matters. The 1% who legitimately protest are the people who need protecting.
In any event if 99% of the people are happy with a government, then it should have no problems facing a challenge in free and fair elections, should it?
That's not to say the so called 'Free and Democratic' west does not have its issues.
Actually China has made giant strides and certainly has improved its treatment of individuals on the back of its material gains, and I agree that is not recognised enough, but that is not to say that the world outside should not continually push for more improvement.

Any other suggestions?
MySpace sacks more
Myspace redux?
Having said how awful MySpace is currently, a good argument could be made for using it as a baseline to create a genuine rival to Facebook.
FaceBook obviously has issues and if MySpace converted itself into something with respect for the issues which Facebook fails on, then it could have a market space for itself.

Reviews for The Five Visitors |
steph135 chapter 1 . 6/9/2012 very interesting! i thoughly enjoyed this story. definatly dark, and the ending took my breath away. i likes stories like these, not nessacerily "scary" but a little unsettling. i have never read "the raven" but i dont think it could possible be better then this! its pure genius! i really liked the writting style, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. i also thought you used a very good vocabulary range which is great. it helps keep peoples attention and makes the feelings and objects in the story more definitive. the only issues were a couple of grammar things. i think if you read the story over again you would find them, but they are really not that bad. other than that, the story is apsolutly amazing! if i could give it a grade, i would give it a 100\100 :) |
jessie62 chapter 1 . 6/9/2012 Awesome a very chilling one shot but I loved reading it. You should write more stories like it. Great writing. |
Not Bent Just Broken chapter 1 . 6/6/2012 Wow! This was very well written. I loved all the details and I loved how you made those few details come together in the end to wrap up the story. As bad as this sounds, I loved the morbidity of this...(: One suggestion I have for you is to edit your story a few times through before posting it (some errors are distracting...maybe just to me?). Although I know how exciting posting things can be(: Great Job! Keep it up! |

Looking at this list of sites, the two biggest things that stand out to me are:
- Content/Non-content ratio above the fold. Not only ads, but also just having a relevant image that pushes the text content of the article below the fold.
- Lots of duplication of content across domains. If you look at article pages on just-food.com, which aren't very ad heavy, and copy and paste (with quotes) the first sentence of any article into Google, there are numerous duplicate sites with the same article ranking higher.
Same applies to pop crunch, cinemablend, etc.
In many cases spammy scraper sites/syndicated partners are ranking above the original source of content.
Google has had a real problem identifying the original source of content recently, but perhaps Panda just dialed up the penalty for sites that it identifies incorrectly as scrappers?

As annual Israel Apartheid Week opens in South Africa, the former archbishop compares Israel's treatment of Palestinians to apartheid and reiterates endorsement of BDS.
By HAARETZ
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu said Sunday that Israel's treatment of Palestinians reminds him of South African apartheid, and reiterated his support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
"I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces," he said in a statement. "Their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government."

In the outer reaches of the galaxy, life can take weird forms indeed. The GURPS Space Bestiary presents over 300 extraterrestrial creatures for the science fiction roleplaying campaign.
In addition to strange and dangerous variations on earthly animals, this book contains examples of silicon life, crystalline creatures, energy and liquid beings, vacuum dwellers, and many more bizarre lifeforms.
Inside you'll find fierce predators, treachers trappers, gigantic herd beasts, carnivorous plants, scientific curiosities, and valuable rarities. All are completely defined and cross-referenced to make it easy for the GM to pick just the right creatures to populate his campaign world . . . and there are over 100 detailed illustrations.
The creatures are organized according to habitat, including every earth-type environment, plus interstellar space and other exotic, hostile places where man could never survive. There is even a special section on the pets and domestic animals of a spacefaring society!
The Space Bestiary isn't just for GMs running a GURPS Space campaign. A fantasy, horror, or post-holocaust game needs strange monsters too. And some of the nastier beasts can even challenge a team of supers!
Also included is advice for the GM who wants to create his own creatures - features to emphasize, creative ways to let the beasts interact with the PCs, and hints for devising ecologically sound and believable animals - and a bibliography of science fiction source material.

Matthew started at Northampton College on the School Link programme which gave him a taste of motor vehicle repair. "I used to come to college one day a week and I loved it so I was very keen to carry on when I left school. The Vehicle Body Repair and Refinishing course was perfect. We learnt how to restore damaged bodywork and dents. I know how to mix up fillers and prepare the vehicles so they are ready for refinishing. You learn all the basics on the course." Matthew was assigned additional support in the classroom which he found really helpful. "I have Asperger's and autism so someone was always on hand to help me with my assignments and tasks in the lessons. The teachers were also really supportive if I ever got stuck or needed help. Spray painting was probably my favourite but I loved it all really. I liked mixing up the paint and seeing the finished vehicle." Matthew is now studying on the Level 2 programme. "After that I think I will go on to get a job and maybe return to college on the Level 3 in the future. I will keep my options open."

Madurai Malli, the jasmine flower, is well-known for its alluring fragrance. The flower takes its name from its place of origin in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Tamil women proudly adorn their hair with the beautiful Madurai Malli. Its scent combines uniquely with the fragrance of hair oil and other hair products.
Known botanically as Jasminium, the traditional jasmine flower is cultivated primarily in Madurai and in other districts of Tamil Nadu, such as Virudhunagar, Theni, Dindugal, and Sivaganga. The shape of Madurai Malli buds varies from round to oblong, with short to medium corolla tubes and three to four whorls of petals. The characteristics of the Madurai Malli are a deep fragrance, thick petals, long petioles, and buds that open at night. The buds withhold their scent during the day and when the sunlight fades away, they release their perfume to float on the air – hence their romantic appeal. PLACE OF ORIGIN While the jasmine flower is available all over Tamil Nadu, the most cherished variety is the one cultivated in the sands of Madurai. The city of Madurai is an ancient city with one of the greatest histories in the Indian sub-continent. The city is about 2,500 years old, and it was ruled by the famous Pandya kings. Madurai is located on the banks of the river Vaigai, and is the site of the famous Meenakshi temple. The city is also called Malligai Managar, which means "jasmine city." In Madurai and its surrounding taluks of Perungudi, Nilakottai, Uthappanaickanur, and Ammainaickanur, jasmine farms gear up for a season that lasts from February to November. One harvest is processed every ten days, which includes the entire process of irrigating, fertilizing, and picking the buds. HISTORY/LEGENDS The jasmine flowers are of cultural importance in India, especially in South India. Plants are cultivated in private homes in gardens or in pots. The flowers are used in the home for decorating idols or as a hair adornment by girls and women. In the Chandhan Yatra festival of Lord Jagannath, the deity is bathed with jasmine flower water. Vendors are commonly found selling the garlands of jasmine flowers in the streets of Tamil Nadu. The Madurai Malli are used during marriages, religious ceremony, functions, and festivals. They can be found around entrances to the temples, at public sites, and in business areas. The flowers are offered for sale chiefly during the evenings, since that is the time when the buds begin releasing their fragrance. VARIETIES The most popular variety of Madurai Malli is Gundu Malli (Jasminium sambac). It has extra thick petals. It is greenish white when harvested and turns to milky white after a few hours. The flower will last 24 hours after picking without discoloration. The fragrance of jasmine flowers grown in Madurai is superior to others because of the heavy presence of the aromatic alkaloids jamone and alpha terpineol in the soil. The lateritic and red soils of Madurai district are rich in sulphur, which is the precursor of these alkaloids. A few other varieties are: Jasminum grandiflorum – In India, its leaves are used as Ayurvedic herbs. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in warm temperate and subtropical regions. Jasminum multiflorum – Known as winter jasmine, Indian jasmine, downy jasmine, and star jasmine. It is also called Magha Mallika in Sanskrit, since it flowers in the winter month of Magha in the Indian Hindu Calendar. Polianthes tuberosa – Similar to jasmine, the tuberose is used for making perfumes. All varieties of jasmine plants give a good yield of flowers. During first year of production, jasmine farmers harvest up to 750 kg of jasmine flowers by per acre. The yield rises each year; in the second year, the plant may yield 2,000 kg of jasmine buds per acre, in the third year the yield is around 2,500 kg per acre, and in the third year, the yield is around 3,500 kg per acre. A field may produce for up to 15 years. During times of more than adequate rainfall, the buds appear faster than normal, resulting in a surplus supply of flowers to the market, and lower selling prices – much to the joy of the consumer. POPULARITY The popular Madurai Malli is the first flower in Tamil Nadu to be provided with the Geographical Indications (GI) Mark. A private organization, in collaboration with the University of Agriculture in Madurai and the Madurai Malli Farmers Association, requested that the Registrar of Trade Marks and GI in Chennai provide Madurai Malli with the Geographical Indications tag. The approval was granted on January 16, 2013. The flower market of Madurai stays crowded and busy due to the persistent demand for this flower. The Malli is sent from Madurai to other parts of the state early in the morning. The flowers are then tied into garlands or strands and kept for sale. Madurai Malli is also exported out of the country to locations such as London, France, Malaysia, and Dubai. The flowers are packed in styrofoam and gel ice mats to retain freshness during transit. The extract of jasmine and tuberose sourced from Tamil Nadu is used for the manufacture of the perfumes. Hence, perfume manufacturers also make up a significant portion of the market for the flowers. |
Wonderful. If we cultivate Madurai Malli in Green House, can we get more quality and yield?? Any answers.
