Growing Great Garlic is the definitive grower's guide written by a small scale farmer who makes his living growing over 200 strains of garlic. Commercial growers will want to consult this book regularly.
The author tells us:
Growing Great Garlic makes a genuine contribution in the field of garlic classification that will help the public recognize several distinct varietal types of garlic.
For the past fifteen years, author Ron Engeland has farmed organically with his wife, Watershine, and two children in north central Washington state. In addition to garlic they raise over 100 varieties of apples, plus peaches, apricots, plums, raspberries, potatoes, and cut and dried flowers. Ron also manages an irrigation company and writes numerous articles.

Sassy Gay Friend
By Edith P. Giblets [ Fri Apr 2 2010 3:07 PM ]
Sassy gay friends. If stereotypes are to be believed (so much easier than thinking!), gay friends will never let you wear something that makes your butt look big. This serious look at the phenomenon of straight lady/gay guy relationships asks, "What if Ophelia had a sassy gay friend?"

British comedian Ricky Gervais is making the rounds promoting Muppets Most Wanted and he stopped by Conan last night and talked about his childhood and why the Internet thinks he resembles cats. He also revealed his desire to play a supervillain, but he doesn't have classic characters like the Joker or Lex Luthor in mind. No, Gervais's trademark would just be one of his personality traits. "I'd be really annoying," he told Conan. "I could do that." He then demonstrated his super-tactics, which involve screeching at someone in a high-pitched tone, similar to what you'd imagine a dying pterodactyl sounds like, and kindergarten-style mimicking. While he may not have the skills to do any ass-kicking, he does come off rather frightening. Conan did fight back with the only known Gervais Kryptonite, which happens to be the same thing you'd use against a five-year-old: tickling. Watch below:

1. Tom Brady. In last year's preseason opener against the Eagles, Brady took 24 snaps and finished 10-for-15 for 100 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. However, that contest was his first back after an offseason of rehab on the left knee. It will be interesting to see if he plays much more than that Thursday against the Saints. If the over/under for snaps on Thursday is 24, I'd probably take the under. The quarterback would undoubtedly love the opportunity to get some real game reps under his belt, but don't expect him to play any more than a series or two.
2. The inside linebacker spot opposite Jerod Mayo. This has been one of the best positional battles of training camp. With the recent knee problems experienced by incumbent Gary Guyton, rookie Brandon Spikes has taken the lead, with Tyrone McKenzie seeing more and more time with the second defense. Can Spikes bring that unique approach Belichick and the Patriots have observed in practice to the field? He'll get his chance Thursday night.
3. Left guard. Without Logan Mankins — and now, without Nick Kaczur — the Patriots have used Dan Connolly at left guard. A career backup, Connolly has done a serviceable job when called upon in the past, but if he's the left guard for the foreseeable future, will opposing defenses start to focus their attack on the interior of New England's offensive line?
4. The Patriots pass rush. New England struggled to put consistent pressure on the quarterback last season. Now, without Derrick Burgess, the Patriots' only dynamic pass rusher is outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain. Rookie Jermaine Cunningham has seen a lot of time with the No. 1 defense at the outside linebacker spot opposite Banta-Cain, and if he is able to flash some pass-rushing skills this preseason, it would go a long way toward ensuring he will get more reps at the spot during the 2010 season. In that same vein, if the pass rush struggles on Thursday, does New England step up its efforts to land someone like Aaron Schobel or Adewale Ogunleye in an attempt to right the ship?
5. Wes Welker. After an offseason of rehab on the injured left knee, the wide receiver is a game-day decision, according to Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. He's certainly looked impressive in camp so far, but New England has erred on the side of caution with Welker throughout his rehab, and so it wouldn't be a surprise if he was an inactive on Thursday night.
6. Aaron Hernandez. If you're betting on one rookie making an impact in the passing game, the Florida product is a pretty safe bet. Moved all over the field like a chess piece throughout training camp — he's lined up at fullback, in the slot, flush against the tackles and split wide over the first two weeks of camp — Hernandez has shown versatility, soft hands and a bit of a temper. (He took exception to a hit from linebacker Thomas Williams earlier this week, and got up and winged the football in Williams' direction.) It's early, but it's clear that Brady has taken a shine to the rookie. We'll see if that translates on the field.
7. The rest of the rookies. While Hernandez has certainly been impressive and Spikes and Cunningham have gotten a lot of run with the starters early, the rest of the rookies will get their first taste of game action on Thursday night. First-round pick Devin McCourty is starting to be rotated into the mix more and more (especially with Leigh Bodden missing the last few days because of a calf injury). McCourty's impact will also be felt on special teams, where he has already seen work on the kick return team. Zoltan Mesko, the only punter in camp, has had a bit of an inconsistent couple of weeks, but flourished in the Patriots' only training camp session inside Gillette Stadium.
8. The coaching staff. While the Patriots aren't going with offensive or defensive coordinators this season, it's a safe bet that linebackers coach Matt Patricia and quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien will serve as de facto coordinators in 2010. One thing to remember — Belichick has always preferred his defensive coordinator to wear a different color jersey or jacket on the sidelines (usually red) in an attempt to stand out from the rest of the folks on the sideline so players can see who is calling the signals. (Don't believe me? Check out this picture of ex-defensive coordinator Dean Pees. Or this one here. Or here. Or here.) If Patricia — who has been using the headset to communicate with the defensive players in camp — is wearing the red, it's a sure sign he's the one who will wield the most control (other than Belichick) over the defense this season.
9. Guys on the bubble. I wrote about this earlier in the week, but there are a handful of guys who are playing for a roster spot this preseason, a group that probably includes veteran wide receiver Torry Holt. After missing a couple of days of practice, it's unlikely that Holt will get a chance to play on Thursday, but other veterans who might be on the bubble (a group that includes Terrence Wheatley, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Sam Aiken) will all get their shot to earn the coaches' favor on Thursday. Wheatley has shown a real physical side the last couple of days as a corner and also on special teams, and a solid performance on Thursday would go a long way toward ensuring a spot on the 53-man roster this season.
10. Randy Moss. Moss has been electric for much of the last two weeks, making accomplished cornerbacks look foolish. He was slowed by New Orleans corner Jabari Greer on a couple of occasions the last two days, but as he enters the final year of his contract with the Patriots and now that he has gotten rid of the problematic shoulder he had last year, he looks primed to have a great season.
Butch and Tom discuss Tom's Top 50 Pats of the Bill Belichick era feature as he nears his top 10. They also get into more Deflategate talk on the heels of Mike Florio's report this morning that Goodell's decision will be announced this coming week.

Israeli residents relocate abroad for a variety of reasons, sometimes business, sometimes personal. If the relocation is for a short period, they will typically claim various expense deductions for Israeli tax purposes and claim a foreign tax credit if they are taxed both in Israel and abroad.At what point does an Israeli resident stop being a resident for Israeli tax purposes?
Losing residence According to Section 1 of the Income Tax Ordinance, an individual who intends to stop being an Israeli resident must satisfy a four-year test, in which case he will be deemed resident abroad for the entire four-year period. The test is satisfied if: (1) the individual has been outside of Israel for at least 183 days in the tax year in question and in the following year; and (2) his center of vital interests is not in Israel in the third and fourth years.
Borderline cases Israel has tax treaties with more than 50 countries.Each treaty contains a "tiebreaker" rule for resolving cases of dual residency; i.e., when two countries regard you as a resident under their domestic legislation.This is quite possible if Israel applies its fouryear test and another country has no such test. The tiebreaker clauses look mainly at: (1) permanent home; or, failing that, (2) center of vital interests.The ITA published early in 2014 an anonymous ruling (4387/13) illustrating such a situation. In it, an individual left Israel in July 2010 and took up fiscal residence in a treaty country. The individual worked there for a subsidiary company of an Israeli group.The individual also returned to Israel to serve the country for less than 90 days per year (23 days in 2011 and 55 days in 2012).The ITA ruled that for tax-treaty purposes, the individual stopped being an Israeli resident, so long as the individual spent no more than 90 days in Israel, and the spouse no more than 75 days. For domestic Israeli purposes, according to the ruling, Israeli law continues to apply, such as the four-year test and the exit tax.
Consequences of becoming nonresident Becoming a non-Israeli resident does not mean no more tax.First, there may well be tax to pay abroad.Second, it is usually prudent to make arrangements to continue paying National Insurance Institute (social security) contributions at a low level. This is in case claims arise during any visit to Israel; it also helps facilitate renewed social-security coverage without a six-month waiting period if the individual returns to Israel after relocation; say, within five years.Third, Israel has an exit tax. Individuals who become nonresident are generally liable to Israeli capital-gains tax at rates of 25 percent to 50% as if they sold their worldwide assets at market value one day before they ceased to be residents. This "exit tax" also applies to, inter alia, employees' share options and purchase arrangements.The exit tax is payable upon departure or upon the sale of the relevant assets, at the taxpayer's choice.An exemption applies if the tax will be due later in Israel upon disposal; for example, regarding Israeli real estate. New or returning residents who depart again within their period of tax exemption (usually 10 years) remain exempt with regard to overseas assets.
Concluding remark Look before you leap out of Israeli residence. Israel now has tax rates below the OECD average and no estate or inheritance tax. And the human factor matters: Uprooting family members and leaving others behind isn't always easy.As always, consult experienced tax advisers in each country at an early stage in specific cases.

Higher VAT In West India Is A Roadblock: iVK Mobile
Higher VAT In West India Is A Roadblock: iVK Mobile
Anil Kaushik, CEO, iVK Mobile says, "VAT is very high in that region and the sales tax is around 15 per cent, which impacts the dealer-pricing and the MRP. But all states where we have a common sales tax, we are focusing and moving ahead."

iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd set up shop in India in July last year and launched its first mobile phone in the market in September. Since then, the company is strategically capturing the market share with its low-end mobile phones and feature phones. So far, the company has feature phones in the price range of Rs 1,000 and Rs 3,600. Focusing on customer needs, the company was the first to launch a 3,000 mAh and 4,000 mAh mobile phone in India. The company also plans to launch an Android 4.0 tablet and Android 2.3 smartphone this month itself and get into the high-end product segment too. We speak to Anil Kaushik, CEO, iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd to know more about the firm and its expansion plans in India.
Tell us about iVK Mobile's journey so far.
iVK Mobile Pvt Ltd is the name of the organisation, which is a joint venture between iVK and one of the Chinese partners. This Chinese partner actually represents a company called Guo Xin Tong, which is the world's biggest mobile manufacturing company. It manufactures around 1,20,000 phones per day and 3.6 million phones per month. It not only manufactures phones, but whatever goes into a phone like the battery, the charger, the earphones, keypad and even the labels, everything is manufactured in-house. There are about 20,000 people working in the mobile manufacturing focused factory in China.
When did you start the joint venture?
The organisation was registered way back in the month of July, 2011. The first product was launched sometime in mid-September.
What is the SICT connection?
SICT is the brand name of the China-based organisation. We have launched the brand SICT as a joint venture in India so that we can actually mark our space in the mobile market of India. We sell about 5,00,000 mobile phones per month in India indirectly.
Can you elaborate more on the indirect sales?
We supply our products to most of the mobile brands in India, directly or indirectly. There are so many brands in India. These brands buy goods from various manufacturers of China or the so-called integrators from China. Those integrators either buy the product or the components to manufacture their products in China and then ship them in India. So, most of the local brands, directly or indirectly, are involved with us. Though SICT as a brand, is being sold only by iVK.
After having launched in the month of September, our journey has been very good but we are still striving for better. Even in the last six months, when the mobile industry was going down in the market, fortunately we were able to establish SICT as a brand in the areas wherever we started the business. We have really made an impact in the market in terms of competition, market awareness and even in terms of customer satisfaction.
Besides India, what other countries do you have a presence in?
SICT, as a brand, is available in Africa and Arabian countries. It is also available in Europe and many other Asian countries.
There are so many players in the handset market, so how do you plan to survive the competition?
I dont feel there is competition because the market is so big that each player has a role to play himself. The market continues to grow, so if I have entered the market, probably I have taken some part of the growth, which has not affected the other brands in the country. So, actually there is not really much competition that we talk about. But from the customers point of view, when a customer sees a product which is new in the market, he does get attracted to it. For instance, iVK was the first in the country to launch a 3,000 mAh battery phone. We were also the first to launch a 4,000 mAh battery phone, which is a very specific focus on the market needs. It is just trying to bring a product to the customer, which meets his demands and needs.
Where all have you been able to create a market for yourself in the past six months?
We have been doing good in Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar and in West Bengal. We are doing reasonably fine in Uttar Pradesh (UP). We had to do some realignment in UP and reduce the sales but now the sales have started growing there too.
What kind of re-alignment?
It is a very tough market in UP and the strategy that we had taken up for UP was the same that we had taken up for other places. But, at the same time, it was also in-line with anyone else who was working in UP. That is when we realised that we had to do something different in UP and that is how the process started. Now, we have a re-aligned business model in UP and things have started moving. Earlier, we were doing only two zones East zone and the West zone of UP. Now, we have bifurcated further into smaller segments for a better focus and a bigger market share.
How about presence in South India?
We have just started in Karnataka. This month, we are also starting in Andhra Pradesh. So, step by step and month wise, we are starting in the South region as well. Post that, we will be moving to the Manipur and the Assam belt.
What is the kind of market share you are looking for?
Our strategy has been that we must capture the first one per cent of the market share and then move to 10 per cent. We have already captured more than 1 per cent in a few states. In Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan we have more than 10 per cent market share. In other states like UP, it is not 10 per cent yet but it should be better now that we have re-aligned. In West Bengal, we started in the last week of March, so we have not reached that one per cent per say, but by next month we will achieve this kind of percentage of the market share. Regarding the PAN-India target, eight to 10 per cent is the bare minimum that I am looking forward to in the states where we are present. It is a per state target right now and cannot be PAN- India because we are not present in many states yet.
We are not doing any business in West India as of now, primarily because VAT is very high in that region and the sales tax is around 15 per cent, which impacts the dealer-pricing and the MRP. But all states where we have a common sales tax, we are focusing and moving ahead.
What are your expansion plans for the next three years?
My target is that by the end of the year, we should be touching more than 1,00,000 units per month. I have defined my target with reference to each state. In the month of March, we have already touched 60,000 units in a month in India and our average sales are 45,000 units per month, as of now.
What is your retail strategy?
We are going into pure distribution channel. There are three kinds of strategies in distribution. One is the normal distribution channel, second is modern trade, which includes mobile stores and third is the enterprise or a corporate channel. Right now, we are focused only on the distribution channel and have not focused on the modern trade.

Michael Gove attacks use of Mr Men in iGCSE history lessonstags: education, United Kingdom, history curriculum, Michael Gove, Mr. Men, iGCSE
The education secretary, Michael Gove, has attacked a "culture of low expectations" in English schools, criticising the use of Mr Men characters in teaching 15 and 16-year-olds about Hitler.
Too many teachers were treating "young people on the verge of university study as though they have the attention span of infants," Gove said. He said worksheets, extracts and mind maps had replaced whole books, sources and conversation in history and other subject lessons.
"As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mr Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined," Gove said.
Gove told the Brighton College education conference: "I may be unfamiliar with all of Roger Hargreaves' work [the author of the Mr Men series], but I am not sure he ever got round to producing Mr Antisemitic Dictator, Mr Junker General or Mr Dutch Communist Scapegoat....

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
11/4/2010 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- With federal employees soon able to change their health and benefit plans during "open season", the Health and Wellness Center (HAWC) will host a Health and Benefits Fair at the Minuteman Club on Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to educate the community on new programs for the upcoming year.
"Too often we search for a point of contact with an organization or insurance agency so we can get answers to our questions," said William Carpenter, Health Promotions manager. "For employees seeking assistance with their insurance choices a week before open season, the Health and Benefits Fair will save time in searching for websites, telephone numbers or waiting to speak with the right person to address your specific need."
In addition to insurance company representatives available to answer questions, several base community agencies will be in attendance to educate base personnel about their new programs.
"For the HAWC, this year we will be targeting our tobacco user population, with November being the month of the Great American Smokeout," said Mr. Carpenter.
In addition, those who are new to the area may not be aware of what the Airman and Family Readiness Center has to offer, but can acquire all that information at this event.
The following is a list of organizations expected to attend:
Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Government Employees Health Association (GEHA)
U.S. Family Health Plan
Health and Wellness Center
Airman and Family Readiness Center
Mental Health/Family Advocacy Program
Fitness Center
Base Library
Employee Assistance Program
Civilian Health Program

The agreement, the social network's first in India, will help marketers access data and insights. Facebook has 100 million users in India.
Facebook Inc. has 100 million users in India, and advertisers have taken notice.
That's one reason the social network signed a deal with the WPP-owned Indian advertising agency GroupM to provide its clients with better access to Facebook data. The deal is the first such agreement with an advertising agency in India.
"Our partnership with GroupM will benefit clients to reach over 100 million people in India, 84 million on mobile," says Kirthiga Reddy, head of Facebook India. The move, Reddy says, will let the two companies deliver personalized marketing "at scale."
GroupM says that the agreement will bolster the services it provides clients.
"This partnership adds to the set of enablers we have created over the years that can help drive digital adoption in our market," says GroupM South Asia CEO CVL Srinivas.
Facebook and Instagram have signed similar agency deals with U.S.-based Omnicom Media Group, the advertising conglomerate that owns firms such as BBDO and DDB Worldwide Communications Group Inc. and Publicis Groupe.
The agreement comes in the wake of several announcements related to Indian e-commerce. Earlier this week Amazon.com Inc. announced plans to invest $2 billion in India and Indian e-retailer and marketplace operator Flipkart announced it raised $1 billion in a new venture capital funding round.

HRevolution Sponsor Spotlight - PeopleMatter
Note - The third HRevolution Event for Human Resources professionals will take place April 29, 30 in Atlanta, Georgia. This post continues a series where we recognize and thank the generous sponsors that make the HRevolution event possible.
PeopleMatter provides talent management software for the service industry. PeopleMatter's software tools help their customers in the service industries like hospitality, convenience stores, restaurants, and grocery stores to manage the processes for hiring, scheduling and engaging their talent - all from a single, integrated platform.
I first met Nate DaPore, CEO of PeopleMatter at the HR Technology Conference last fall. Nate, along with his colleague Charles Wyke-Smith were kind enough to take some time to talk with me about PeopleMatter's Talent Management solutions, and to review some of their ideas and vision for the HR technology space, and more specifically, where they felt PeopleMatter could continue to innovate to deliver leading-edge talent management solutions for their customers.
PeopleMatter focuses squarely on developing solutions to meet the need of the service organizations; the type of customers that have significant talent management challenges. Traditionally high turnover, seasonal swings in talent and staffing requirements, the need to quickly and efficiently onboard high volumes of new staff, while simultaneously meeting myriad regulatory and legislative requirements for filing and reporting. Anyone that has tried to work in HR in these kinds of environments will attest to these conundrums.
Think about the importance of talent management to service providers like restaurants or hotels - their employees are face-to-face every single day interacting with customers, customers that often have lots of choices about where to spend their time and money. For service providers, having the 'right' employee, properly trained, and engaged enough to deliver superior customer service, can make or break the customer experience. And in the age of social media, we all know what one bad customer service experience can do to a brand. One tweet, one YouTube video, one ranty blog post and boom - years of hard work and accumulated capital and goodwill gone. PeopleMatter helps their customers better manage this challenge and uncertainty with their suite of integrated tools for hiring, onboarding, and engaging staff.
Nate DaPore, CEO of PeopleMatter will be attending and presenting at HRevolution next week, and if you are attending, be sure to connect with Nate. He is a super guy and has some great ideas about how to improve the talent management space that just might make that next trip to Starbucks or 7-Eleven a better one.
Thanks Nate, and to the team at PeopleMatter for your support of the HRevolution 2011!

A free attraction and one of the only medieval buildings in the area, You get a good view of the harbour.
Free entry. A small castle but take the stairs, or lift to the top and you get great views around the bay. The castle also has displays of photos, paintings and model ships. A nice way to spend time and you can take in the port as well.
Not a major attraction but if you are in the vicinity it is well worth popping in, you might even see a wedding!
Nice building with Art Gallery and nice views from the top.
Can see it all within half an hour.
The castle is only small and you can walk round it in less than half an hour, but we took our time and walked down to the port which again is only small but the sun was shinning, the sound of the sea in the background made it a perfect day.
If you are in Roquetas de Mar, you just have to see. Nice tiny castle with few cannons and big tower dominates the coast of Roquetas. Don't expect long visit, you can see all in 10 minutes.
Lovely castle and we went right to the top. There are a few exhibitions and canons outside. There was also a wedding on that day.
The views were amazing and the place itself with the lovely gardens was great also if your British you do not pay entrance fee.
lovely walk from the hotel but watch out for dog faeces all along the promenade
Castillo santa was absolutely beautiful and the whole family enjoyed
Great views of the bay etc., but not so large that it will keep you interested for more than 30 minutes
Visited here after walking to the port. There was an artist exhibition on which showed some nice paintings also there was some good views and an area where there was some interesting local area information which I didn't know. Also was a nice shelter from the sun on a very hot day.

Financed with a subscription system, users pay for monthly access to a remote Windows UI. This starts at $5 / €5 for the bare Windows package limited to 10 hours' use per month, while unlimited use is priced at $15 / €15. From there, you'll be able to install vetted programs (including free staples like Skype) from the built-in app store -- paid-for content like Corel Draw is gradually making its way onto Nivio. Purchasing apps doesn't require you to download or install the software -- servers on Nivio's side flip a switch and you then have access to the app of your choice.
As all the heavy lifting is done server-side, you'll only need a latency of around 256 kbps to allow stable use. This meant that file transfer (offline options aside) and internet-based activities like browsing were several leagues faster than the 3G connection we were using because it was all happening off-site. While the Windows 7 interface is better suited to tablets -- if only for space and the larger on-screen keyboard -- you'll still be able to gain access to your cloud desktop, files and Office through your phone too.
From our brief time spent on the Galaxy Nexus version, it actually seemed more responsive compared to the time we spent on the iPad 2 version. The HTML5 base also offers a simple solution for users looking to access Windows through the browser on other PC platforms. Nivio's "chief wizard", Sachin Dev Duggal, added that they were looking to make the reverse (OS X on a PC) a reality too. As the service is cloud-based, you can even stop on one device, load up the client on another and continue your project where you left it.
It took a while to get used to using the on-screen mouse icon, but there's some familiar multi-touch functionality, like pinch-to-zoom, available inside Windows -- something that proved useful with Internet Explorer. We also found our finger hovering over the home button, something that would take us out of the Nivio app, not the Windows desktop. When we logged into the Nivio software -- create an account and get your own dedicated "public" webpage to share content and documents to anyone with internet access -- and it soon loads into the familiar Windows setup. From there, it's largely a blank canvas. You can access files previously shared to your Nivio account and add extra apps (free and paid-for) through the built-in app store. Not everything we're hoping for is here just yet (we'd love to see Adobe Photoshop and other workflow programs we already use) but the likes of Google Talk, Firefox, Chrome, Corel Draw and Skype help flesh out the existing selection.
However, it's the Office suite that forms a large part of the appeal of Nivio's service. During our hands-on, we found Word largely unchanged from what we're used to. Nivio has integrated the native keyboard on devices, which meant there was no need to reacquaint ourselves with a new layout -- we jumped straight into typing on the iPad.
While Nivio's geared towards small businesses, developers and students -- who get their own discounted prices starting from $2 / €2 for 10 hours -- it's simple enough for anyone looking to get both occasional or constant access to Windows and Microsoft Office. Yes, the Windows UI is locked down -- you won't get the freedom to install and customize the ecosystem as fully as you would a physical machine. However, you will be free to utilize any hardware that's capable of HTML5. The service appears to work at its best when you're using a physical keyboard -- but with the likes of the Transformer Prime (and plenty of third-party accessories) able to make this happen, this may solve plenty of mobile office conundrums.
A workable version of Windows available where ever you can glean a 3G signal is likely to attract plenty of interest, while the ability to dip in and out of paying -- Nivio will only charge for the months that you use the service -- make it a very pervasive option for Windows dabblers.
