I am currently looking to apply for a job at Roche Bros. Either in the Medfield or Millis locations. I have extensive customer service experience, management experience. I would be interested in a full time position possibly starting about the first of July or possibly sooner. Is there any opportunity for me at either of these locations
Hi Mrs. Zigun,
I am a Medfield high schooler that lives close to the incoming store, I just submitted my application, but I saw on this website that there was a job fair last week that I was unaware of , Is there someone that I should contact or meet with for an interview because I felt I couldn't fully express my self in the application, I applied for a grocery team member, but I am willing to work in any position that is available.
Thanks so much
I heard though an associate you guys were hiring for customer service in west Roxbury but it's not a available online is there a way if can still apply
Good morning,
I live in Dorchester, MA 02125
I believe I qualify for most Positions.
I just wanted to know ,Living in Dor.
are any of your Stores accessible by MBTA?
My name is Michael Mcmillan and I am currently looking for work in the west Roxbury area.8 do believe I am qualified for a position as a deli clerk due to prior experience . Please contact me at anytime
Hello, Ms. Zigun,
What is the best way to submit a resume for any andministrative/ corporate positions?
Thank you.
I am 14 and I was wondering if I can still apply here and if not is there any other stores that I can find a job at?
When is the Downtown Crossing location opening and when will you start hiring?
May I ask what the average pay is for a Grocery Clerk? I might be looking for a position in Burlington.
Thank you.
How old do you have to be to work for Roche Bros? I have a 14 year boy that wants to work as a bagger in the Natick store. Thank you
I recently applied for a position as a grocery clerk at the Natick store. It has been a week and you list an opening there. Should I assume that you have rejected my application?
Hi l filled out an application for employment l have not heard from Roche Bros l was wondering how long do you hold the application for. Thank You
Hi, I have filled out several applications for different positions for which I am qualified for. I am looking for full time in either the Millis Roche bros. or Brothers Marketplace in Medfield. Are there any openings left in either store?
Thank you..
I am 13 years old and I was wondering if I was too young to work at Sudbury Farms in Randolph. if it matters I am turning 14 in February, if necessary I will wait to apply then.
I have applied for several positions at brothers market, had 2 interviews, left numerous phone messages, but have not received any feedback. I have considerable experience in retail grocery, and would like to work, but cannot get anyone to return a phone call. Why is this occurring?
Who is the manager i would speak to about the Front end dept would it be the Customer Service manager or The Store manager about being a cashier in Westwood…
Are you doing any hiring for your planned downtown Boston store yet or the new Somerville, Davis Square Brothers store; both I believe are scheduled to open sometime in 2015?
I currently work at the Roche Bros in Natick. If I wanted to switch departments from grocery clerk to produce clerk or grocery clerk (when an opening arises), would I have apply online for the position? (I am going to be 17 within the month on a side note).
I apologize I meant to say I am a cashier/service clerk, trying to change departments to produce.
Hello, I just applied for the downtown crossing position, fulltime produce, have over 27 years experience.. can you tell me when that store will be opening? Thanks again.
Hello, I currently work in the Easton store as a part-time bagger, sometimes parking lot or pre-packing in the deli (never got trained to wait on customers in the deli). I was wondering if Bridgewater Roche Bros or Randolph Sudbury Farms is hiring in those positions part-time because I go to school, work another job that only takes place on Sundays, & am doing an internship. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you..
Hi Cameron,
I went on-line this morning to try to get more information on the Downtown Crossing store's opening. I'm a little disappointed with the plan for early spring — we are so desperate for a supermarket downtown! We heard January at one point, and I had hoped for earlier rather than later. Anyway, I just can't wait!
How do I apply for an opening at the Downtown Crossing store if it is not yet listed? Thank you very much.

My Lines
Anyone involved in genealogy starts with their own family. You don't just plunge into the gene pool for someone else. It's the same for me but a little different: my mother started it. It's all her fault. She spent years writing letters to family and friends, libraries and courthouses. This was well before the Internet! I inherited boxes of documents, copies of letters, proofs, and theories. You never knew if your "John Smith" was the same "John Smith" you read about in the local genealogical newsletter for a community where your family might have been, so there were many theorized links and conjecture. It was fun – and tedious – and challenging. Recently I had the opportunity to open up some of those boxes, and realized how far I had come since they came to me. I was able to definitively say that certain "John Smith"s were not our John Smith.
On the other hand, with the Internet, I've been able to find photos and gravesites, family cemeteries and documents that I never dreamed I'd be able to see. It's a fascinating mystery, and everyone has the same mystery to some extent.
The family lines that I'm still working on – about 20 years later – include:
- Bullitt – from the Kentucky family this line went to Louisiana
- Chapman – early 19th century in Walker Co., Texas
- Cobb – in Nansemond, now Southampton Co., Virginia
- Collard – from the US Revolution to Texas Independence in one lifetime
- Davis – immigrants from Wales
- Dent – early Marylanders who migrated to North Carolina
- Dun – Arkansas family
- Falkner/Faulkner – from North Carolina
- Folk/Fock – possibly from New York in the early 1800s
- Griffith – from Tennessee they went to Texas
- Heathman/Hathman/Hethman – Maryland to North Carolina to Mississippi to Texas
- Howell – Alabama to Arkansas to Texas
- Johnston – a brick wall that married into the Winstead family
- McCafferty/McCaffety – Alabama to Texas
- Osborn/Osborne – descending from Enoch in Virginia
- Pearre – Georgia to Texas
- Perot – very early Louisiana family
- Roberson – North Carolina and Virginia
- Smith – oh yes, a John Smith, and his daughter, Jane (doesn't everyone have one?)
- West – New York to Texas
- Wills – in Southampton, Virginia
- Winstead – through Manley/Mandley in Virginia

The overall objective of the Bjerknes Centre is to understand and quantify regional climate changes in the context of the global climate system.
Our key research themes are:
The Bjerknes Centre is internationally acknowledged for its research efforts in the field of paleoclimate (climate of the past), which is crucial in order to understand present and future climate changes. Due to our leading position in this and other areas, we had a central role in the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (2007), including coordinating lead author, lead author and several contributing authors. We are the only research centre from the Nordic countries that has provided climate scenarios to the report, entailing different simulations on climate developments between 1850 and 2100. The Bjerknes Centre also cooperates with other research institutions concerning effects of climate change on ecosystems, health and society, which are founded in natural science.
The research activity is organized into six research groups (RGs)
Climate Model Development and Climate Projections (RG1)
Climate Predictions and Regional Scenarios (RG2)
Carbon Cycle and Biogeochemistry (RG3)
Large-scale Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics (RG4)
Atmosphere, Cryosphere and Ocean Processes (RG5)
Paleoclimate (RG6)

December 18 2014 Latest news:
The Morrisons store in Dereham suffered power failure to the tills.
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Supermarket retailer Morrisons is to look at online shopping after admitting that its performance fell short of expectations after reporting a 7pc drop in full-year profits to £879m.
The supermarket, which generated sales of £18.1bn in the year, said it had not done enough to communicate its promotions and suffered because it still lacked a meaningful presence in the two fastest growing sectors of the market.
It will attempt to rectify this shortfall by accelerating the roll-out of its M Local smaller store format to 100 sites by the end of the year and has confirmed it will launch its online food offer by January next year.
As part of the internet push, it is in discussions with online grocer Ocado about an agreement to share its operating knowledge.
The UK's fourth-biggest grocer, which employs 129,000 staff at 498 stores, said like-for-like sales dropped 2.1pc in the year, while the average of 11.4 million customers in its stores each week was down on the prior year.
Chief executive Dalton Philips said: "2012/13 has been a challenging year for the company during which we did not perform as well as we would have wished.
"We are implementing a comprehensive range of plans to address these trading issues."

January sounds a long way away. I like Morrisons, they always give exclusive free posters in railway magazine and actually for my Thursday essentials shop today dishwasher tabs and other things were 50% off so imo Morrisons are just beating ASDA... and Tesco's are still way behind,... this week.. Morrisons on-line would be really good here ...

I fear that they could be too late to the online market. Getting people to move from their tried and tested current providers who have already built economies of scale will need something quite distinct and probably at an initial loss to the company.

A Tale of Two Cities…
Rob Spedding | Blog, Cycling Plus, Features | 28/06/2013 14:32pm
I was joined in what soon became known as The Group of Champions by ITV's Tour de France presenter and acclaimed author (he told me to write that bit*) Ned Boulting. As we rolled out of suburbia and through the stockbroker belt, Ned proved to be as entertaining on the bike as he is on the telly and in print. He also fancied a bit of pace, so when Group Four stopped at 25-miles for a comfort break he suggested that he and I moved up to the swifter group three. I politely pointed out that unlike him, I was riding all the way to Paris. (He'd made up some excuse about presenting the National Championships on ITV4 or something so he'd be heading home from Folkestone. A likely story.)
Anyway, I tearfully waved Ned adieu and settled down to getting to know the rest of Group Four (G4). I'd say that G4 was close to your typical sportive field – riders of varying levels of fitness and experience mainly out to – sort of – enjoy themselves. As well as a big bunch of riders each of the groups were chaperoned by Vitus riding, Chain Reaction Cycles kit wearing Ride Captains (RC).
On the front of Group Four we had Jon 'Eddy ' Lewis (check out his clothing range!) and at the back David Williams. As I was – in my head at least – patron of the peloton I obviously didn't get to spend too much time with either as I was being protected by my 'squad'…
Most of my interaction was with Gareth Wilson. Every few miles I'd hear Gareth's Northern Irish brogue imploring riders to stay on the right side of the white line or reminding us to ride in pairs rather 12-abreast. By the end of the three days Gareth was pretty hoarse – and to be fair much of his shouting was also of the encouraging kind! In fact, the HotChillee Ride Captains are a big part of the appeal of this event – they do a brilliant job. Although I'm not convince by their yellow oversocks…
And the chaps had their work cut out – in theory riding in a big peloton is one of the joys of cycling. Grab a wheel, get a rhythm going, sit in the draft, take a tun at the front (I did Eddy, honest…) Like I said. In theory. The reality, of course, is that most of us never get to ride in a group larger than three or four. How many huge groups do you see in a sportive? I've even heard tell that the art of group riding is dying out among clubs. That meant despite the RCs best efforts it could be a little hairy at times – over-lapping wheels, erratic lane changes, swearing (okay, that was me…)
As the ride wore on, the group did – with some notable exceptions who I won't name and shame even though the names on the back of their numbers are etched deep in my memory – get the hang of the etiquette. In fact on Day Three Eddy, Gareth and David led for a good few miles at a scorching pace. It was truly exhilarating and I doubt there was a single member of group four who wasn't, at one time or another, imagining that they were Wiggo, or Cav, or Sagan flying along in the core of the pro-peloton. Brilliant.
Back to Day One and the ride to Folkestone. The weather forecast had been for persistent rain – it was June after all – so most riders had gone for the rain jacket option. It didn't rain on the first stretch but under strict orders from the Ride Captains we weren't allowed to try any of that fancy taking off jackets while riding, so boiling in the bag was the order of the day until lunch.
The stewing in our own juices upped itself a notch before nosebag in Lamberhurst thanks to the day's biggest climb. Lovingly described as The Wall, but more accurately Kidd's Hill, this was the first chance for the peloton to let off steam. It was here that I realised Cycling Plus publisher Richard Schofield and Dave Lane, MD of Paligap, might have been doing some hill work… It hurt!
After lunch it was on to the Eurotunnel at Folkestone, but before that we tackled Goudhurst Hill, used by the Tour de France in 2007. As this took us through a town it meant plenty of incredulous locals standing and staring. I think some even cheered! The finish of stage one, if I'm being honest, felt like a slight anti-climax.
Pulling into service stations is never that exciting is it? However, once I'd got over the lack of fanfare and podium girls, it truck me that I'd just ridden 161km, in relative comfort. Get me! After that it was on to Eurotunnel – on a coach, our bikes were transported separately by DHL. It's quite a logistics marvel is L2P.

Unconventional Thinking
In 1994, David Filo and Jerry Yang were in typical start-up mode--working 20 hours a day, sleeping in the office, juiced on the idea that people were discovering their concept and plugging in. There was only one difference between them and most new entrepreneurs: They weren't making any money. We're not talking about an absence of profitability. We're talking about an absence of revenue. There were no sales. None. And, the fact is, the Yahoo! founders didn't care. Filo and Yang were working like maniacs for the sheer joy of it.
Their mission? Bringing order to the terrible, tangled World Wide Web. Back then--in the prehistory of the Internet--plenty of interesting Web sites existed. But the forum wasn't organized; there was no system that enabled people to find the sites they wanted in an easy, orderly way.
Even Yang and Filo, who were studying for their Ph.D.s in computer engineering at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, found the Web cumbersome. "We had started looking at Web sites, but we couldn't keep track of the good places we'd been," says Filo, 31. So the two created a list of their favorite Web sites, along with a framework for organizing the Web and a search engine that made finding the right site as simple as typing in the right keywords. They dubbed their service Yahoo!, an anagram for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle. And it took off.
By 1995, the service had become so popular, the partners were able to raise $1 million in venture capital to expand the business. There was no trail to follow, however; back then, Internet commerce was still in its infancy. But the partners knew they had a tiger by the tail. "What we did took 20 hours a day," says Yang, 29. "But we were one of the first to [try to organize the Web], and we did it better than anyone."
And the consensus is, they still do. Now based in Santa Clara, California, Yahoo! gets an astronomical 1 billion hits per month. Compare 1997 first-quarter ad sales of $9.5 million to last year's first-quarter sales of $1.7 million, and it's a cinch that this year's ad revenues will beat last year's $19 million by a sizeable margin.
Good as it sounds, inventing a new industry has presented challenges at every turn. The first and most basic: How to make money. Even as the Internet was gaining popularity, efforts to commercialize it met with more than a little resistance. To make matters worse, Yang and Filo were among those who believed in keeping the Internet accessible--and therefore free.
"It was tough," Yang admits. "We really didn't know which business model would work, and we considered everything," including systems that would simply support the operation without generating a profit, such as promoting companies in exchange for some of their hardware.
Though advertising emerged as the clear choice (allowing Yahoo! to eschew user fees), it wasn't clear that advertisers would go for the idea. That Yahoo! has landed sponsorship from such diverse corporate giants as IBM, American Express, Lexus, British Airways and Guinness is a testament to its momentum.
But can the momentum continue? Keeping the service fresh, fascinating and at the fore isn't easy. Every day, expectations rise, and new companies enter the fray. Then again, Yang and Filo have more than investment capital, a nifty computer program and 225 employees to help them stay online and on target. They've also got commitment. "We believe the Internet can change people's lives," says Yang. It certainly changed theirs.

"I LOVE this post card, it is beautiful and quality is top notch! I wish the card said "Thank you" as that is just what I prefer, "Thanks" sounds as if one is too busy to take more time for the proper "Thank you." ...At the price point I would order the card, again and again. THANK YOU, Tinyprints."
"This card was fabulous! I chose the grey version of it, and just plain black text inside and it came out just exactly where I wanted it, and just how I expected it to look. The paper and the printing were just fabulous...I haven't seen any of the cards that have a defect on them because of the printing or the paper."
"I love this design because it rerminds me of a personalized had painted card. The design is simple and I love the coral color combination against the chalkboard background. The Default Fonts combine elegant script writing with the more casual fun print for the personlization. It enables this Thank You card to be used for fancy dinners or gifts, yet perfect for the more relaxed note of appreciation for barbeques or child's birthday presents. Perfect card stock ~ it is the quality of more expensive cards. The envelope is not flimsy and matches the class of the card."
"The colors are beautiful & perfect for my baby shower gift. Unique gift for mom to be. So pretty & different for a thank you cards. She's going to love them!"
"I'm thrilled with this sweet postcard. The colors are as beautiful in person as they look online. I especially love the ability to personalize this with a return address. That leaves me with more room to write a thoughtful note and more time on my hands."

Building the Mythology Engineposted by Duncan at 10:06 pm on March 30th, 2010
More than a few weeks ago now, we finished a project called The Mythology Engine. This was a prototype to see if we could build a framework for navigating drama on the BBC. Our first test case was Doctor Who. Mr Ferne has written an excellent post on the subject over on the BBC R&D blog. Rather than repeat what he said there, I advise you to go have a read.
This project was a wonderful experience for me, mainly due to the fact I got to build a lot of it. This post is a bookmark for me, and runs though the technologies we used.
As a prototyping team, we get to make technology decisions that help us build stuff quickly. This affords us a lot of flexibility. So for this project we used a fairly common set of tools paired with bits and pieces to make our lives easier.
Ruby on Rails: This choice was because I have a lot of experience with the framework, and it is an ideal candidate for prototypes. In fact over the years it has been used to build some great internal tools at the BBC. Oh and I know it's fine for production too incase you were wondering.
MySql database: Again, we have a lot of experience with this, so why change.
Apache WebServer: Familiar, and easy to setup. We run Passenger as well to make Rails deployment a breeze. Because the prototype has streaming media playback, we needed to compile in the ( H264 Streaming Module). This was a fairly simple process with good documentation. I actually think if I did the project again, I would plump for Nginx instead of Apache. Just because it is so lightweight and fast, but Apache worked just fine.
Build for browsers that support CSS3: Here's an interesting one. So when building the pages, I realised that some of the complex design could be implemented just using CSS3, without the need to chop up images and create complex layouts. This did mean that "browsers" like I.E (at least < 9) and the like would not display the designs as expected. But hey, this is a prototype, so let's just save come complexity and do it the easy way.
As well as the technologies above, we also used Flash for our visualisations and the custom media player. We powered them using an API we built into the main site. We are lucky to have great Flash experts like Mr Bowley to build this stuff, and I even got the chance to dust off my own AS3 skills with one of the visualisations. Oh and finally, we used the jQuery javascript library for any client side trickery.
So, nothing too unusual there, or in the build really. We decided on our data model (which was influenced by the OntoMedia and ideas from the team) and url design up front, and created the database and subsequent models. We initially thought we could populate the database using provided documents (exel etc) but quickly realised this would be inadequate, and needed something quick and easy to allow data entry. Along came Typus. I highly recommend this project. It creates a simple but extendable CMS based on your Rails applications models. You also get user admin for free. We made some change to suit our project (If any of the Typus people are reading, I tried to feed back changes we made but couldn't get your tests to run). I also wrote some filters for Paperclip so we could get all images sizes and styles from one upload.
Finally we first built an initial basic site. This was to test out initial layouts and get some understanding of how the site felt when we had real data. This layout was then tweaked and polished once we were happy.
So that was a whistle stop tour of how we built the prototype. What we ended up with was a very polished prototype, which we are all rather proud of. Current I only have screenshots to show, but hopefully that will only be temporary.
One final thing to note. We build this with a maximum of 5 people. The majority of the team were cross discipline. This really helps. It means that everyone understands what the other is doing without everyone having to work on the same area of the project. This was especially key on this project, as we built in from scratch in a very short period of time. I have been fortunate enough to work on some recent influential projects within the BBC, and all those projects had around 5 people working on them. 5 is clearly, the magic number.
So that's a brief overview. Like I say up top, read the proper explanation on the R&D blog.

Our community attracts dancers from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York and beyond! We are known for our welcoming community, rewarding classes and unique Assistant program. In our classes, we teach both open and close embrace, and explore elements of traditional, salon and nuevo styles of Argentinean tango. Our focus is on ways to dance and connect that support comfortable, healthy physical technique for every person. We have a large group of dancers who are in love with Tango but, at the same time, recognize that it's not just about the dancing, it's social…and building a healthy, friendly, open minded community is just as important.

While we are dealing with the fundamentals of tango, those of us who have been dancing for a while know how important it is to revisit and refine our technique regularly. Classes will focus on connection, embrace, technique, the mechanics of tango movement and important elements of social dancing. New students will receive 30 minutes with an experienced TangoPulse Assistant at the beginning of class. This unique service helps students advance much more quickly than traditional group class models.
Structures :: This class is designed for students who understand the fundamentals of Tango, and would like to apply them to more complex structures. We will break each structure down to understand form, connection and technique, while offering new concepts and opportunities for discovery. We encourage students to think creatively about how to enter and exit each structure, and to extract elements that excite them to add to their social dancing repertoire. September topic: Leg wraps & ganchos :: October topic: TBD .
We highly recommend that all students taking the Structures class also take the Fundamentals class, as the foundational knowledge gained there will significantly improve students' ability to learn and retain each week's structure.

Warwick Analytical Services (WAS) rolls out Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP) service to help drugmakers determine heavy metals in pharmaceutical products.
The new ICP method, which will allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to analyse and report metal impurities, is regulated under new rules set out by the US Pharmacopeia and will differ from the current USP method for distinguishing 'heavy metals' in pharmaceutical ingredients and products, say WAS.
The current USP method involves precipitating metal sulphides out of an aqueous solution, then comparing the colour of the test sample to that of the original solution. WAS say this method is "non-specific, insensitive, time-consuming and labour intensive, and it does not provide an adequate recovery of the elements being tested."
The analytical services company, based at the University of Warwick Science Park, in the UK, claims the new ICP method is more sensitive due to part-per-billion (ppb) levels, will eliminate the specificity issue, and is able to evaluate a drug sample for 21 additional elements.

Dinner this evening at Sophia's. Server sets down the saucer for the olive oil and bread. She leaves a fingerprint smear of balsamic vinegar on it and instead of cleaning it or replacing the plate, says, "Oh don't worry about that, it's just a little balsamic." Mind you, there's no balsamic in the Sophia's dipping oil, it's just olive oil and pepper (which we had to ask for, she didn't offer it).
I made her replace the plate. I didn't want to be looking at her finger smear of balsamic while I was dipping my bread. I could tell she thought I was being ridiculous.
Was I?

Flashback: The Right needs […]
RNC Derangement Syndrome and the demise/dementia of the neutrality posers
The media crazy train is standing room only. As the GOP and the Right have gotten better and better at telling their stories and pushing back against progressive narratives, the gate-keepers who once held a monopoly on controlling the airwaves and printing presses have become more than unhinged. They've become completely untethered from rationality: – […]

RNC power grab: the aftermath
There were several inspiring speeches delivered at last night's Republican National Convention. Talk of "unity" filled the air. Many GOP leaders praised the "grass-roots." But behind the scenes, the RNC power grab has exacerbated distrust between a diverse group of rank-and-file activists and party bosses. I have no patience for the Republican party-bots telling these […]

Jim Cramer: Stealth Tech
Editor's note (Part 5 of 7): The following is text from Jim Cramer's keynote speech at The Deal Economy Event on Dec. 5 at the New York Stock Exchange, New York City. To watch video replays of the event, click here. To read more content from Jim Cramer on Real Money, click here.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A fifth theme that will make you money in 2014? Think stealth tech and the power of innovation. When we think of tech we think of Microsoft (MSFT), Intel (INTC), Cisco (CSCO), Oracle (ORCL), IBM (IBM) and even Apple (AAPL), companies that were at the forefront of innovation, but now seem to be content with simple line extensions with smaller form factors, although Apple's so cheap it is still worth owning.
To get real innovation these days, real progress, you have to consider companies like Colgate
(CL), which is taking tremendous share from Procter & Gamble
(PG) and Unilever
(UL), particularly in the emerging markets as it develops new products that the locals love.
Other stealth tech plays to examine? How about Under Armour (UA)? This Baltimore-based apparel company is rolling out new products literally quarterly, with properties that keep you warm or monitor health in ways that you couldn't dream of just a few years ago. It is a factory of innovation.
But perhaps the most inventive major tech company out there is none other than the once-sleepy Wilmington, Del. colossus Dupont
(DD). Double D is developing the most new products and reinventing itself on the fly, going from being a boring old chemical concern to being a company that feeds the world and develops health and safety devices that are pulling it away from the pack. Dupont's hard-charging CEO, Ellen Kullman, is shaking up the company in ways that would be inconceivable not that long ago, getting out of prosaic slow-growth businesses and into proprietary products that don't need strong economies around the globe to propel sales.
Next year, she will be spinning off her last commodity business, her boom-or-bust Ti02 franchise, a classic little-value-added product line that makes whiteners for things like toothpaste and paint. I think the new Dupont, with little commodity exposure, will see a dramatic lift to its price-to-earnings multiple as it goes from being a boring GDP play to a secular growth company.

Purple foliage adds an interesting accent to a garden. And trees and shrubs with funky, twisted branches make unique architectural sculptures in the winter garden. But until now, it's been difficult to find one plant that offers both characteristics.
Corylus avellana 'Red Majestic' is a true four season stunner. Like its more popular cousin Harry Lauder's Walking Stick (Corylus avellana 'Contorta'), Red Majestic offers interesting contorted branches that are a mainstay of many winter gardens. But, unlike its better known cousin, Red Majestic doesn't blend into the background once its leaves appear.
New foliage emerges bright red, and as the temperatures start to rise, the leaves turn burgundy and by the middle of the summer the leaves are a deep green. And if that isn't enough to convince you to plant one, Red Majestic sports purple catkins in the late fall.
Red Majestic grows in full sun to partial shade and matures at approximately 10′ x 10′. Give it ample space so you can appreciate it year-round. This shrub is hardy in zones 3 – 8 and is considered deer resistant.

Guest Reviews of Aphrodite Hills
Hotel: I had a nice pool view room with balcony on first floor, comfortable and a good position as far as getting to restaurants, pool etc. I was pleased it was quieter as think during peak season it could be too busy and perhaps very crowded. The pool area was pleasant and plenty areas to sunbathe however could see peak season must be hell!! NB most uncomfortable sun loungers in the world……. No padding /mattress base so very unforgiving. Stupid rule about 1 towel only, but managed to override it easily but just a small niggle.
Food: limited availability of restaurants due to it being quieter. For 2 weeks food got a bit repetitive but quality was good and fresh.
All inclusive option – a real winner in my opinion, given how costly bottles of water etc are this worked out well and gave me the freedom for water/ soft drinks/ glass wine with lunch/ pre dinner etc. Some of the trip advisor reports suggested it wasn't working but it worked fine for me and the lunch salad options etc were great.
Staff: hotel staff were all very helpful and cheerful and looked after me very well. Good presence of management to maintain standards.
Spa: lovely area and high quality spa. Treatments were good and all the therapists pleasant and helpful. The pool there was stunning.
Yoga: very good teacher and the sessions were excellent
Gym: personal trainer Timmi was knowledgeable and the session on the power plate was a real winner.
Tennis academy: really enjoyed my tennis and the group had 4 max but 3 most days and on my final day it was just me which was a bonus .I also had one private lesson which was with another coach but equally good. Coaches sought our feedback and were happy to adapt lesson accordingly.
Weather: good for the 2 weeks – last 2 evenings a little cooler but still ate outside so vs UK tropical.
I have returned fitter & with some weight loss, with a determination to work more exercise into my work/ home balance as it makes you feel so much better.

Endeavour has left the International Space Station and is headed home to close out NASA's next-to-last shuttle flight.
Endeavour undocked from the orbiting lab close to midnight
Sunday. The shuttle took a victory lap around the station. Then it
hung around another few hours, testing navigation equipment
intended for a future interplanetary-traveling spacecraft.
The space station astronauts said Endeavour "looks real nice
out there." They beamed down video of the departing shuttle Monday
morning, the last shot ever of Endeavour in orbit.
NASA's youngest shuttle is due back in Florida early Wednesday.
Its next stop after that will be a museum in California for what
many consider to be an early retirement.

A car bomb exploded near a convoy of a police officials in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, killing at least two people and wounding 10 others, police sources said. The attack occurred in the Domeez area of southern Kirkuk on Monday and targeted the convoy of captain Ahmed Abdul-Ghafour, head of al-Rashad police station in the city, who was wounded in the blast.
"When will the situation improve? People went out to work and earn a living for their families. I have seven children and God protects me for their sake but what did those people do?," said Sabah Hassan, a witness.
Kirkuk lies around 250 kilometres north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and is an ethnically contested city. The Kurds claim it as their own, though it is not within the boundaries of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. Earlier this month, a car bomb in a police garage in Kirkuk killed 27 people.
Earlier on Monday, a car bomb exploded near liquor shops in eastern Baghdad but caused no casualties, police said.
They said the car bomb, in the Zayouna district, damaged about ten shops and wrecked nearby cars.
On Sunday, a string of bombings killed at least 16 people and wounded 74 more across Baghdad and the nearby city of Taji, where a colonel in the interior ministry was injured.
Violence in Iraq has dropped sharply since the height of sectarian conflict four years ago, but bombings, assassinations and attacks occur daily.
Two US soldiers were killed on Sunday during operations in central Iraq, the US military said in a statement with no further details of when or how they had died.
Iraqi security forces and police are often targeted by insurgents as Washington prepares to withdraw the last US troops at year-end, more than eight years after the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein from power.
Iraqi forces will take over full control of security at the end of this year when the remaining 47,000 US troops are scheduled to leave Iraq. US troops are now mainly engaged in training and advising local forces.

Just Another Day
by Howie Xamach
It has been a short night. Sleep came late. I spent long hours talking under the stars with people who live in cities that prevent them from seeing what the gods here in the Sian Ka'an have to offer the dreamers of another life. So many stars here in the Sian Ka'anthe Milky Way lives up to its name, appearing as a child's accidental spill of milk across the sky.
I have had a siesta before dinner, I have struggled for bones in dawn's early light and caught dinner in the afternoon. The Sian Ka'an is God's creation and I am blessed to live here. What will be the agenda for tomorrow? May think about it in the morning, or maybe not. The day will come no matter what my plans.
Hotel Akumal Caribe
On Akumal Bay, in the heart of Akumal.
Akumals unique bay with its clear, blue-green waters and glistening white sand beaches that never burn your feet is breathtaking, inviting and uncrowded. And its the safest bay for children of all ages. Nearby, in the tropical jungle are easily-accessible ruins of the mysterious Mayan civilization, which flourished centuries ago.
