Capparis spinosa, the caper bush, also called Flinders rose,[1] is a perennial winter-deciduous[citation needed] plant that bears rounded, fleshy leaves and large white to pinkish-white flowers. The plant is best known for the edible flower buds (capers), often used as a seasoning, and the fruit (caper berries), both of which are usually consumed pickled. Other species of Capparis are also picked along with C. spinosa for their buds or fruits. Other parts of Capparis plants are used in the manufacture of medicines and cosmetics.
C. spinosa is native to the Mediterranean, East Africa, Madagascar, south-western and Central Asia, Himalayas, the Pacific Islands, Indomalaya, and Australia.[2] It is present in almost all the circum-Mediterranean countries, and is included in the flora of most of them, but whether it is indigenous to this region is uncertain. Although the flora of the Mediterranean region has considerable endemism, the caper bush could have originated in the tropics, and later been naturalized to the Mediterranean basin.[3]
The taxonomic status of the species is controversial and unsettled. Species within the genus Capparis are highly variable, and interspecific hybrids have been common throughout the evolutionary history of the genus. As a result, some authors have considered C. spinosa to be composed of multiple distinct species [4] others that the taxon is a single species with multiple varieties or subspecies,[5][6] or that the taxon C. spinosa is a hybrid between C. orientalis and C. sicula [7]
The shrubby plant is many-branched, with alternate leaves, thick and shiny, round to ovate in shape. The flowers are complete, sweetly fragrant, and showy, with four sepals and four white to pinkish-white petals, and many long violet-colored stamens, and a single stigma usually rising well above the stamens.[8]
The caper bush requires a semiarid or arid climate.
The caper bush has developed a series of mechanisms that reduce the impact of high radiation levels, high daily temperature, and insufficient soil water during its growing period.[9][10]
The caper bush has a curious reaction to sudden increases in humidity; it forms wart-like pock marks across the leaf surface. This is apparently harmless, as the plant quickly adjusts to the new conditions and produces unaffected leaves.
It also shows characteristics of a plant adapted to poor soils.[11] This shrub has a high root/shoot ratio and the presence of mycorrhizae serves to maximize the uptake of minerals in poor soils. Different nitrogen-fixing bacterial strains have been isolated from the caper bush rhizosphere, playing a role in maintaining high reserves of that growth-limiting element.[12]
The caper bush has been introduced as a specialized culture in some European countries in the last four decades. The economic importance of the caper plant led to a significant increase in both the area under cultivation and production levels during the late 1980s. The main production areas are in harsh environments found in Morocco, the southeastern Iberian Peninsula, Turkey, and the Italian islands of Pantelleria and Salina. This species has developed special mechanisms to survive in the Mediterranean conditions, and introduction in semiarid lands may help to prevent the disruption of the equilibrium of those fragile ecosystems.[13]
A harvest duration of at least three months is necessary for profitability. [clarification needed] Intense daylight and a long growing period are necessary to secure high yields. The caper bush can withstand temperatures over 40°C in summer, but it is sensitive to frost during its vegetative period. A caper bush is able to survive low temperatures in the form of stump, as happens in the foothills of the Alps. Caper plants are found even 3,500 m above sea level in Ladakh, though they are usually grown at lower altitudes. Some Italian and Argentine plantings can withstand strong winds without problems, due to caper bush decumbent architecture and the coriaceous consistency of the leaves in some populations.
Scientists can use the known distributions of each species to identify the origin of commercially prepared capers.[14][15]
The caper bush is a rupicolous species.[16] It is widespread on rocky areas and is grown on different soil associations, including alfisols, regosols, and lithosols. In different Himalayan locations, C. spinosa tolerates both silty clay and sandy, rocky, or gravelly surface soils, with less than 1% organic matter. It grows on bare rocks, crevices, cracks, and sand dunes in Pakistan, in dry calcareous escarpments of the Adriatic region, in dry coastal ecosystems of Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, in transitional zones between the littoral salt marsh and the coastal deserts of the Asian Red Sea coast, in the rocky arid bottoms of the Jordan valley, in calcareous sandstone cliffs at Ramat Aviv, Israel, and in central west and northwest coastal dunes of Australia. It grows spontaneously in wall joints of antique Roman fortresses, on the Western Wall of Jerusalem's Temple Mount, and on the ramparts of the castle of Santa Bárbara (Alicante, Spain). Clinging caper plants are dominant on the medieval limestone-made ramparts of Alcudia and the bastions of Palma (Majorca, Spain). This aggressive pioneering has brought about serious problems for the protection of monuments.
Capers can be grown easily from fresh seeds gathered from ripe fruit and planted into well-drained seed-raising mix. Seedlings appear in two to four weeks. Old, stored seeds enter a state of dormancy and require cold stratification to germinate. The viable embryos germinate within three to four days after partial removal of the lignified seed coats.[17] The seed coats and the mucilage surrounding the seeds may be ecological adaptations to avoid water loss and conserve seed viability during the dry season.
Use of stem cuttings avoids high variability in terms of production and quality. Nevertheless, plants grown from cuttings are more susceptible to drought during the first years after planting. The caper bush is a difficult-to-root woody species, and successful propagation requires careful consideration of biotypes and seasonal and environmental parameters. Rootings up to 55% are possible when using one-year-old wood, depending on cutting harvest time and substrate used. Propagation from stem cuttings is the standard method for growing 'Mallorquina' and 'Italiana' in Spain, and 'Nocella' in Salina. Hardwood cuttings vary in length from 15 to 50 cm and diameter of the cuttings may range from 1.0 to 2.5 cm. Another possibility is to collect stems during February through the beginning of March, treat them with captan or captafol and stratify them outdoors or in a chamber at 3–4°C, covered with sand or plastic. Moisture content and drainage should be carefully monitored and maintained until planting. Using semihardwood cuttings, collected and planted during August and September, low survival rates (under 30%) have been achieved. Softwood cuttings are prepared in April from 25- to 30-day shoots. Each cutting should contain at least two nodes and be six to 10 cm long. Basal or subterminal cuttings are more successful than terminal ones. Then, cuttings are planted in a greenhouse under a mist system with bottom heat; 150 to 200 cuttings/m2 may be planted.
Mean annual temperatures in areas under cultivation are over 14°C and rainfall varies from 200 mm/year in Spain to 460 mm/year in Pantelleria and 680 mm/year in Salina. In Pantelleria, it rains only 35 mm from May through August, and 84 mm in Salina. A rainy spring and a hot dry summer are considered advantageous.[18] This drought-tolerant perennial plant is used for landscaping and reducing erosion along highways, steep rocky slopes, sand dunes or fragile semiarid ecosystems.
Caper plantings over 25 to 30 years old are still productive.[19] Thus, physical properties of the soil (texture and depth) are particularly important. Caper bushes can develop extensive root systems and grow best on deep, nonstratified, medium-textured, loamy soils. Mouldboard plowing and harrowing are usual practices prior to caper plant establishment. Soil-profile modification practices, such as deep plowing operating 0.6 to 1 m, can ameliorate some restrictions. In Pantelleria, digging backhoe pits for each shrub was found to be the most effective means of cultivating caper in rocky soils. Two planting designs are used, the square/rectangle and the hedgerow system. Spacing is determined by the vigour of the biotype, fertility of the soil, equipment used and the irrigation method, if any. Bush spacing of 2.5 × 2.5 m or 2.5 × 2 m is common in Pantelleria. In Salina, 3 × 3 m is satisfactory for 'Nocella'. In Spain, 4 × 4 m or 5 × 5 m is satisfactory for 'Mallorquina'. Spacing of 2.0 to 2.5 m is appropriate if C. spinosa is used to control soil erosion on slopes.
Wikibooks Cookbook has a recipe/module on |
The salted and pickled caper bud (called simply a caper) is often used as a seasoning or garnish. Capers are a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, especially Cypriot, Italian, and Maltese. The mature fruit of the caper shrub are prepared similarly and marketed as caper berries.
The buds, when ready to pick, are a dark olive green and about the size of a fresh kernel of corn. They are picked, then pickled in salt, or a salt and vinegar solution, and drained. Intense flavor is developed as mustard oil (glucocapparin) is released from each caper bud. This enzymatic reaction leads to the formation of rutin, often seen as crystallized white spots on the surfaces of individual caper buds.
Capers are a distinctive ingredient in Italian cuisine, especially in Sicilian and southern Italian cooking. They are commonly used in salads, pasta salads, meat dishes, and pasta sauces. Examples of uses in Italian cuisine are chicken piccata and spaghetti alla puttanesca.
Capers are known for being one of the ingredients of tartar sauce. They are often served with cold smoked salmon or cured salmon dishes (especially lox and cream cheese). Capers and caper berries are sometimes substituted for olives to garnish a martini.
Capers are categorized and sold by their size, defined as follows, with the smallest sizes being the most desirable: non-pareil (up to 7 mm), surfines (7–8 mm), capucines (8–9 mm), capotes (9–11 mm), fines (11–13 mm), and grusas (14+ mm). If the caper bud is not picked, it flowers and produces a caper berry. The fruit can be pickled and then served as a Greek mezze.
Unripe nasturtium seeds can be substituted for capers; they have a very similar texture and flavour when pickled. Pickled caper berries are very popular as a snack in Menorca.
Caper leaves, which are hard to find outside of Greece or Cyprus, are used particularly in salads and fish dishes. They are pickled or boiled and preserved in jars with brine—like caper buds.
Dried caper leaves are also used as a substitute for rennet in the manufacturing of high-quality cheese.[20]

In Greek popular medicine, a herbal tea made of caper root and young shoots is considered beneficial against rheumatism. Dioscoride (MM 2.204t)[clarification needed] also provides instructions on the use of sprouts, roots, leaves and seeds in the treatment of strangury and inflammation.
Different flavonoids were identified in caper bush and capers: rutin (quercetin 3-rutinoside), quercetin 7-rutinoside, quercetin 3-glucoside-7-rhamnoside, kaempferol-3-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-glucoside, and kaempferol-3-rhamnorutinoside. Rutin has no known toxicity.[21] Capers contain more quercetin per weight than any other plant.[22]
In fact, the hydrolysis products of indol-3-ylmethyl glucosinolates have anticarcinogenic effects.[23] Glucosinolates are known to possess goitrogenic (anti-thyroid) activity. Rutin and quercetin may contribute to cancer prevention.[24] Selenium, present in capers at high concentrations in comparison with other vegetable products, has been associated with the prevention of some forms of cancer.[24]
The caper was used in ancient Greece as a carminative. It is represented in archaeological levels in the form of carbonised seeds and rarely as flower buds and fruits from archaic and Classical antiquity contexts. Athenaeus in Deipnosophistae pays a lot of attention to the caper, as do Pliny (NH XIX, XLVIII.163) and Theophrastus.[25]
Etymologically, the caper and its relatives in several European tongues can be traced back to Classical Latin capparis, "caper", in turn borrowed from the Greek κάππαρις, kápparis, whose origin (as that of the plant) is unknown but is probably Asian. Another theory links kápparis to the name of the island of Cyprus (Κύπρος, Kýpros), where capers grow abundantly.[26]
In Biblical times, the caper berry was apparently supposed to have aphrodisiac properties;[27] the Hebrew word abiyyonah (אֲבִיּוֹנָה) for caperberry is closely linked to the Hebrew root אבה, meaning "desire".[28] The word occurs once in the Bible, in the book of Ecclesiastes, at verse 12:5.
The King James Version translates on the basis of the Hebrew root (and perhaps the metaphorical meaning):[29]
...the grasshopper shall be a burden,
and desire shall fail. (12:5 KJV)
The medieval Jewish commentator Rashi also gives a similar gloss (12:5 JPR). However, ancient translations, including the Septuagint, Vulgate, Peshitta and Aquila, render the word more concretely as κάππαρις, "caper berry".[27] Thus in the words of one modern idiomatic translation (2004),
...the grasshopper loses its spring,
and the caper berry has no effect; (12:5 HCSB)
Of other modern versions, the NIV goes for "desire" (12:5 NIV), while the NASB has "caper-berry" (12:5 NASB), as did the 1917 Jewish Publication Society version (12:5 JPS).
The berries (abiyyonot) were eaten, as appears from their liability to tithes and to the restrictions of the 'Orlah. They are carefully distinguished in the Mishnah and the Talmud from the shoots, temarot, and the floral envelopes, ḳapperisin; and declared to be the fruit of the ẓalef or caper plant. But the caper of present-day commerce, the flower bud, which is now eaten pickled, is not mentioned in the Talmud at all.[27]
Talmud Bavli, Gemara Berachot, page 36 A&B, discusses the eating of caper husks versus caper berries, both inside the land of Israel, outside the land of Israel, and in Syria.

Buxus sempervirens
common box - Hedging range
- Position: partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil, including chalky
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Garden care: For maximum results plant 30cm (12in) apart in well-prepared, fertile soil and water regularly until well established. Ensure that the soil or compost is never allowed to dry out. Carefully trim plants grown as hedges or topiary in mid- or late summer. Carry out rejuvenative pruning in late spring. After pruning apply a top-dressing of a balanced slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone (organic) or Osmocote (inorganic) around the base of the plant, ensuring that none touches the leaves or stems.
To find out more about how to plant a hedge, click here
Common box makes a fabulous formal hedge for a partially shady site, forming a dense, evergreen screen of small, rounded, lustrous, dark green leaves. One of our recommended plants, it's an excellent backdrop for traditional herbaceous borders.
Box is happy growing in a sunny spot but the combination of dry soil and full sun may encourage poor growth and leaf scorching. If you have sandy soil, it is best to keep it in a partially shady spot in the garden.

We planted a box hedge about a year and a half ago in a circular shape in a raised bed with stone wall. They were fine for about a year, but slowly all the leaves are becoming tipped with yellow, and a couple of the plants have turned bronze. Is there anything we can do to salvage this?Asked on 2/1/2013 by Lily1 from South London1 answer
There are a number of things that can cause the symptoms you describe, but the most likely cause is stress brought on by summer drought or winter wet. These symptoms however can also be attributed to a nutrient deficiency, so make sure the plants are kept well fed with a good, general purpose fertiliser such as Vitax Q4, and keep and eye on the watering.

Buxus problem
I bought some Buxus from you last year,- 2 are still healthy but one, which was in a tub next to the other 2, so in the same situation, has gone yellow and appears to be dying. What might have caused this please, and is there any way of resurrecting the plant? Many thanks for your help, HilaryAsked on 12/3/2009 by H Corroon1 answer
Hello Hilary, As it is growing in a pot, the most likely problems are either too much or too little watering. I would check to make sure that the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot is not blocked or that when you do water it, it doesn't just run around the sides of the rootball. The other thing to look out for is box blight, but this is usually accompanied by a fungal growth. I hope this helps. Helen Plant DoctorAnswered on 12/3/2009 by Crocus Helpdesk
Hedging and Osmanthus plants
Dear Crocus, I am looking for two Osmanthus burkwoodii plants but notice on your website that you only offer them for sale in 2 litre size. Do you have any larger Osmanthus burkwoodii plants? I am also looking for suggestions on which plants would make a good hedge. I am looking for something hardy, able to stand the frost, evergreen, not poisonous to horses and if possible, not just green possibly red / purple or variegated, any thoughts? Also, as these plants are grown in Surrey, will they be suitable to grow in the Scottish Borders? Many thanks, JaneAsked on 11/29/2009 by Janey Mitch1 answer
Hello Jane, I'm afraid we have all the plants we sell displayed on our website so we do not sell larger sizes of the Osmanthus. As for the hedging, if you click on the link below it will take you to our full range of hedging plants. Unfortunately we do not have anything that meets all your criteria, but if you click on the smaller images it will give you a lot more information on hardiness levels (fully hardy means they can cope with the weather in Scotland) as well as leaf colour etc. Unfortunately though I do not have a list of plants which are not poisonous to horses, but your local vet may be able to help you with this. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/hedging/plcid.30/ Best regards, Helen Plant DoctorAnswered on 11/30/2009 by Crocus Helpdesk
Box blight
Hi, I have recently had to dig up all my box hedges (one had been growing for about 20 years!) because of box blight. My love affair with the plant has well and truly ended! My garden now looks so bare. Can you give me any ideas for more reliable plants to replace them with (not necessarily hedging). MargaretAsked on 10/10/2009 by Margaret Hamilton1 answer
Hello Margaret, Box Blight has become a nuisance in the last few years, and I can only imaging how annoying and upsetting it must have been to have to dig all your plants up. I would still consider box to be a reliable plant though, especially as most plants are prone to some annoying and potentially dangerous pests or diseases. Therefore I am not really sure what to suggest, but if you click on the following link however it will take you to our full range of shrubs, which we consider 'low maintenance'. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/shrubs/plcid.1/vid.176/ I'm sorry not to be more help.

Which plants are Deer proof?
I want a list of Deer proof plants please. It`s either a change in habitat or environment, but I get total devastation now and in the last two years they come up the drive.Asked on 2/3/2006 by david1 answer
Deer can be a real problem and deer proof plants are usually thorny, poisonous or simply taste awful, but it is hard to give a definitive list as you might get the odd deer with unusual tastes which might like the bitter taste! Below is a list of good plants that generally are quite successful though. Cornus varieties, Rhus, Sophora, Solanum, Berberis, Rosemary, Buxus, Cotoneaster, Ilex, Pyracantha, Garrya, Juniperus, Nandina, Elaeagnus, Aralia, Aucuba, Cortaderia, Yucca, Santolina, Hypericum, Myrtle, Vinca, Achillea, Digitalis, Echinacea and Dryopteris. Finally, fencing is one method to protect garden crops from deer. Since deer jump, you need an 8-foot fence for best results or stout chicken-wire fencing securely around smaller garden plots. Alternatively, fence the area with a thorny shrub, preferably something that will grow to at least 6 feet. Deer eat roses and some thorns but hawthorn, boxwood and holly will exclude them. Deer are also deterred by dogs, hanging aluminum foil, mirrors, wood that hits objects in the wind and other noise-makers. Some old-fashioned repellents are human hair and blood and bonemeal. Hanging bars of fragrant deodorant soap from branches may work. Other well-known deer repellents are mothballs or moth flakes spread on the ground or put in mesh bags for hanging in a tree. Unfortunately though, no repellent is 100 percent effective, especially if the deer population is high and deer are starving.Answered on 2/6/2006 by Crocus

Kids after surrogacy?
Comments (6)
Married to the love of my life since '05
2 Fur Babies (10 and 1)
FTM!! EDD 8/7/13 via Gestational Surrogate

To the OP, you are correct. It is not recommended for someone to go into surrogacy unless they are done having children, their family is complete. I wrote a post about this a few months back, I titled it "Losing your fertility."
Pregnancy is always a risk. Yes there are people who have "tons of kids" and there are also people who have just a few pregnancies and all is fine... but the reality is the risk is there, and because the surrogate would be carrying a child who isn't hers-- if something did happen she may grow to resent the IPs or even the baby/ies she carried, and imagine the guilt you would feel as an IP.
This happened recently to a friend of mine. She has two children but definitely didn't feel "done"-- she became pregnant with twins for her IPs, had a traumatic birth, and lost her uterus. She now must live with the reality of this, and it is heartbreaking.
That said, we hear/see stories all the time of women who go on after surrogacies to have more children. It is definitely possible. And there are a few of us who feel "not quite sure" if we're done yet... but everyone needs to be really aware that things do happen.

I'm so sorry you've been so frustrated and have been let down, yet again :(. I know you'll find your surrogate, even after these road bumps. I agree, a surrogate should feel satisfied with the size of her family (or with having carried all of the children she has intended to carry for herself) prior to becoming a surrogate because, just like with any pregnancy, anything can happen. Psychologically, I think it would be very devestating for a surrogate to lose her own fertility while carrying as a surrogate, while she had plans to carry children of her own, afterwards. It would be devestating, no matter what. We have intended mothers who come to us for surrogates because they lost their ability to carry after their own pregnancy/delivery. I've read about surrogates losing their uterus during a surrogate pregnancy/delivery. I've seen surrogates suffer from such sever pre-eclampsia during their surrogate pregnancy that they could not take the chances on another pregnancy afterwards (and those particular women had intended to have more children of their own). When we talk with surrogates during the screening phase, we let them know that it is a good idea to feel complete with their own family prior to becoming a surrogate. You will find your match, you deserve to have that precious baby that you've been waiting for, for so long. My thoughts are with you and I look forward to reading a post from you, very soon, about your new match :)
I wouldn't have anyone carry my baby that still may want to build their own family. Yes it possible for a surrogate to have a another baby of her own after surrogacy (counting my lucky stars for our little guy on the way). I know a few other girls that have added to their own families after. BUT... It is possible to loose fertility due to being a surrogate. I know a girl that had to have an emergency c-section with her last surrogacy (T cut) and her doctor told her not to get pregnant again because her uterus would likely rupture and she and baby would die. I also know two other girls that lost their uterus due placental abruptions, and another girl that lost a fallopian tube after an embryo migrated and implanted in the tube causing it to burst. Other girls deal with unexplained fertility afterwards. Anyone who makes the choice to carry a child for another person should also be finished building their own family or okay with the possibly of not being able to if something happens. I know it hurts to want a baby and struggle to have one ( I dealt with ovulation problems for 6.5 years), but it's worth waiting so that everyone involved is 100% in it for your little one. ((big hugs)) I'm sure everything will fall into pace for you.

Or how a step dad can see his ex punk step son become a man.
Cody my step son ...... 19 1/2 years old - graduated fron Navy Boot Camp 6th April (Great Lakes IL). The change in this young man was staggering.... perhaps not too surprising seeing as basic is pretty tough in all services - lot of discipline. He sees things from a much less selfish perspective, thinks of others and all in all has simply matured.
I just got off the phone after a long enjoyable chat - hearing how things were and what he is doing. He has been in Pensacola since graduating and tomorrow graduates from his first month as apprentice aircrew. Today he did his shooting qualification (Beretta 92) - and easily managed sharpshooter - that's my boy
Monday he starts 150 days of some serious and involved learning for his job and expects at the end of that to be flying 6 to 12 hours a day. Not sure yet what platform.
Why do I write this? - simple ....... unmitigated pride and the joy of at last knowing a young guy properly. A ''kid'' no longer a kid ... who I always cared for but with whom no real relationship had been possible.
That is all changed - it is a thrill.

Thank you dr benton for seeing me and referring me to dr foley .although you didn't do the surgry you was very nice to me and got me help. I don't know who I would have got if it wasn't for your help.thanks dr.benton
Dr. Benton bamboozled me and my wife. During my initial office visit he was very polite, cordial and explained the problem I was having so that we understood it. He set up surgery in a prompt fashion and all this was great. It was the post-op treatment that I received from him that ended all faith and trust I had in this doctor. He spoke with me one time for a brief moment before surgery and never again before I left the hospital. He didn't even speak to my wife except by phone even though she was in the waiting room during the whole surgery. He sent me home with insufficient pain medication to last me the weekend and since my surgery was late Friday afternoon I am now left to suffer with the pain. He also sent me home with a drain still in my scrotum that my wife had to remove later the next day. Thank God she is in the medical profession, but it still felt really great as you can imagine! I would never recommend this doctor to anyone unless you are a pain freak and enjoy that part of surgery/recovery. This makes the 3rd major surgery I've had in the last four months and I would recommend both other surgeons gladly because they showed the compassion that this man seems to lack. Now I pay for my own insurance and feel that I deserve better than the treatment I received from this doctor Benton! I wouldn't take my cat to someone like him because we love our cat, therefore I wouldn't recommend this doctor to even my enemies!!!!! Dr. Benton you really dropped the ball with my case and I want you to know I really Appreciate it!!!!!!!! I hope your other patients have better luck than I did with you!!!!
I would rate Dr. Benton and his staff with a 10. They are always very kind and professional and well prepared for their job. A good experience.

Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze
from Pink Floyd – Dogs Lyrics on Genius
We can almost see a man curled up in a corner of his bed, trying to psyche himself up to rid himself of his sad thoughts. The first parts of the song may be ok if he were running in a pack, but he feels that he is unique. He needs to break out of that world.
This is also the only verse in which the word "I" is used; elsewhere they use "you."

I have been carrying cross body bags for some time now and when I found this one, I wasn't sure if I would like it. I took the chance and I love it. It fits every thing you need and more. It's adjustable strap is a great feature and all the pockets are nice. I would recommend this Messenger bag to any one who is looking for something with room and at a very good price. (In the past I have spent upward of $50 for my Messenger bags because there weren't a lot to choose from.) This is a keeper!

I was impressed by how much this crossbody could hold! The compartments and pockets gives you so many options as to what you could/should carry. Also, the cross-strap lays very flat on your body which gives you a very slimming effect, especially for us women. Finally, I appreciate the slide adjustable strap versus the buckle type as it allows you to get a more precise adjustment. I am going to purchase another bag as my spare.

I wasn't sure I even wanted to have a shoulder bag, but at the time I ordered this one I was on crutches, and one of the first things you figure out when you're on crutches is that you can't carry anything in your hands. While I mainly ordered the thing because of its price, it's so versatile that in retrospect I would have paid several times what the price was to get the versatility. It carries everything I need carried and there are usually a couple of pockets empty. It's a great bag - I'm delighted with it.

UPS Brokerage to Canada Information/Disclosure
Canada Customs requires Canadian recipients to pay applicable duties and taxes on each shipment entering Canada.These charges may include PST, GST, HST,duties and other taxes of goods (e.g. excise tax). A brokerage fee is also charged to process shipments and present the requisite customs paperwork to Canada Customs on the importer's behalf.

Shipments valued at CAD $200 and above and/or being imported to Canada for commercial purposes and/or subject to specialized clearance may incur additional fees.
Please, be aware that UPS will request payment of these charges at the time of delivery. You have the ability to call UPS ahead of time (1-800-742-5877) to pay these charges, eliminating the need for payment on delivery.
