Important delivery notice
The products on this site are only delivered to UK addresses. If you require delivery to another country please visit one of our other sites below.
In this category you'll find many different types of flower bulbs and tubers - orchids, lily of the valley, English bluebells, snowdrops and many other well-known varieties and some not-so-common ones too.
Polianthes tuberosa Duo Collection
TuberosePolianthes was a popular plant in Victorian times and now it has been re-discovered, this tuberose is well and truly back in vogue. Polianthes 'Duo Collection' has spires of fragrant, waxy blooms, which create a gorgeous scent on a summer evening. Best planted in containers for the most successful results and then moved indoors for the winter. They also make excellent flowers for cutting. Treat yourself to the Victorian favourite 'The Pearl' and the new, modern 'Pink Sapphire'. Height: 120cm (48"). Spread: 15cm (6"). Supplied as tubers. More info
Polianthes tuberosa 'Pink Sapphire'
TuberoseThe Tuberose has long been admired for its exquisite, rich perfume. Until recently, only white cultivars were available, but Polianthes tuberosa 'Pink Sapphire' marks a real breeding breakthrough. Rose pink blooms with fully double petals are carried in stocky flower spikes that make astonishing cut flowers. This half hardy tuberous perennial is perfect for growing in containers on a sunny patio, where its fragrance can be enjoyed on warm summer evenings. Polianthes tuberosa requires a minimum temperature of 15°C (59°F), so be sure to move them indoors over winter for another beguiling display next year. Height: 120cm (48"). Spread: 15cm (6").

Curcuma Collection
Curcuma alismatifolia, Siam Tulip, Ornamental Turmeric
Add a touch of Thailand to your summer patio or conservatory! You may have seen these exotic flowers in luxury tropical bouquets, but it's unlikely you've seen them growing in a garden setting here in the UK. We've managed to secure a limited stock of these unusual summer flowering bulbs, so you can be one of the first UK gardeners to add them to your displays for real wow factor on the patio this summer. Despite their exotic looks, curcuma tubers are no more difficult to grow than frost tender begonias and dahlias. Start them into growth in early spring on a warm windowsill or in the greenhouse for months of summer colour on the patio from their alien-like, waxy flowerheads. Each flower spike is a work of art and is perfectly shown off above the ornamental pleated foliage. All varieties in our mix are winter temperature hardy, but we've given them a half-hardy rating because they won't cope outside during a wet winter. If you can keep them dry, then by all means leave them outside during the colder months to go into a dormant phase, but we think you'll get more from these luxurious Siam tulips if you bring them in before the first autumn frost and let them bloom through winter on a warm windowsill. Curcuma 'Anna Pink' will add a flash of hot pink to your displays. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread 30cm (12"). More info
Polianthes tuberosa 'The Pearl'

Iris Tiger Mixed
Dutch IrisAn unmissable mix of unusual flower colours make this a standout Iris selection for adding vibrancy to the garden in late spring - helping to fill the colour break between spring and summer performers. Tall strong stems and a striking flower shape make Iris 'Tiger Mixed' ideal for home cut flower production. These easy to grow iris bulbs require little upkeep, simply plant on arrival and enjoy them for years to come. Repeat plant in small groups in sunny borders for the best effect in your garden. We supply all our bulbs at flowering size, guaranteeing colour in the first year in your garden. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 10cm (4"). More info
Pleione (Orchid) Collection
Hardy orchids are becoming more and more popular within our gardens as they add a touch of the exotic without needing much attention.. Happily grown in shallow pots and planters as well as in a sheltered, partially shaded border, these dainty plants will soon colonised and brighten up and part of your garden.
Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 30cm (12"). More info
Galtonia 'Summer Hyacinth'
Galtonia candicansMore info
Nerine bowdenii Collection
Bowden Cornish LilyAn explosion of colour to rejuvenate tired late-autumn borders! This autumn flowering Nerine bowdenii Collection bears bright blooms on sturdy stems that make dramatic cut flowers at a time when other blooms are scarce. In this collection you will receive the varieties 'Isabel', 'Pink', 'Alba' and 'Stefani'. These varieties are easy to grow, and produce an impressive display of brightly coloured funnel-shaped blooms. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 8cm (3"). Bulb size: 12/14. More info
Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy'
Pineapple Lily
This exotic-looking summer flowering bulb might look like it needs mollycoddling, but looks can be deceptive! This standout colour selection offers striking spikes of pink star-shaped flowers surrounded by rich burgundy foliage, offering a really luxuriant feel to border plantings and patio container displays. Plant Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy' in a sunny position to encourage months of colour. While easy to grow and very hardy we recommend applying an autumn mulch over the bulbs to keep them extra cosy through winter. Height: 60cm (12"). Spread: 30cm (12"). More info
Freesia 'Patio Perfection'
Freesias seem to have acquired a reputation for being lanky and reluctant to bloom - Freesia 'Patio Perfection' dispels that myth! This superb variety produces glorious fragrant blooms of florist-quality. Its short, stiff stems won't need staking and remain proudly upright throughout the growing season. Perfect for growing in patio containers where their fragrance can be appreciated. Height: 35cm (14"). Spread: 15cm (6").

In order for a person to be "polarizing," the public's opinion of them has to be both divided and extreme. They're either loved or hated; the best there ever was or the worst, with little room for middle ground. And while this characterization might have described former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth 20 years ago, the opposite is true now.
If anything, Bosworth is one of the rare controversial-in-his-day athletes about whom there is now a consensus. That of an over-hyped, injury-prone player as focused on the marketability of his bad-boy image as he was the playbook.
For most polarizing, you'd have to look at a guy like Alex Rodriguez. Beloved during his time as a Mariner, but now hated not only because he makes his millions with the New York Yankees, but also because of his difficulty expressing anything resembling human emotions.
Rick Neuheisel, Dave Krieg, George Karl, Freddy Garcia. Any or all could be considered more polarizing than Bosworth. And for anyone thinking the real answer here is "Howard Schultz" or "Clay Bennet," remember: to be polarizing means having an equal number of admirers too.

You Should Feel Really Bad for Elon Musk
The poster child of the poor not-poor.
You remember 38-year-old Silicon Valley entrepreneur Elon Musk, right? The sad-sack Tesla CEO and PayPal billionaire who had to drain his $200 million bank account?
when he traded his model/novelist wife for a model/actress one. [Musk claims that his financial problems are unrelated to his marital difficulties.] Well, he talked to TechCrunch's Sarah Lacy at the Founder Showcase yesterday, and let's just say things haven't gotten much better. So how's being an entrepreneur going? "Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into the abyss of death." What about the worst time in his life? December 2008, when SpaceX couldn't get its space rocket off the ground, his electric-car company lost its funding, and, well, the whole model/actress/divorce thing. How about running SpaceX and Tesla simultaneously? "[It's] beyond the fun point." His dream of retiring on Mars? On hold. And what does his friend the Funded's Adeo Ressi, who launched a nightclub with Musk when the two were in college, think of him? "He was the biggest dork I've ever met." Lacy explains it best, "It was a reminder for the audience that even those entrepreneurs who we think have it all are still flawed and still struggle." [TechCrunch via DealBook/NYT]

Beachland Tavern, Cleveland, OH
Cleveland never forgot about sweaty rock clad in denim and cheap t-shirts. Many have claimed that this town's Rust Belt chic of the late 70s was to introduce kids to real, honest, and righteous filth like The Dead Boys and The Pagans. Which is why we think you'll just love The Men. This NYC band doesn't have the belligerence of those two outfits, but they sure do kick up a fine racket. So if you like punk, punk: we mean not the rat-a-tat riffing of Epitaph-born bands, but the roar and squeal of Dead Boys, Pagans, The Saints, and Radio Birdman, you won't go wrong with The Men. If that's a little too aggro for ya, they've even got some tunes that sound like Crazy Horse. Gun Outfit -- not hallowed group Gun Club -- opens, along with Cleveland rock n' roll action figures Filmstrip.

Benkadi Ii Group
The group is collaborating with the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso in order to better carry out their farming during the rainy season. They are on their second loan with the institution, and their previous loan has been repaid.
Barakissa S, standing in the middle [of the photo], grows groundnuts. With her loan, she plans to buy two bags of fertilizer and 11 kilograms of groundnut seed and to pay the costs of labor to cultivate one hectare of land.
After the harvest, the crops are sold in the village and in Sikasso to customers who are men and women.
Barakissa S hopes to earn 110,000 francs CFA per harvest. These earnings will allow her to pay back her loan and to also help her husband with the everyday expenses.
Elles collaborent avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de mener à bien leurs activités agricoles pendant l'hivernage.
Elles sont à leur deuxième prêt avec l'institution, les prêts passés ont été bien remboursés.
La spéculation cultivée est l'arachide avec BARAKISSA S debout au milieu.
Avec son prêt, elle compte acheter les frais de labour, 2 sacs d'engrais et 11 kg de semence d'arachide pour entretenir 1 hectare.
La production est vendue au niveau du village et à SIKASSO après la récolte à une clientèle composée d'hommes et de femmes.
Elle compte réaliser un bénéfice de 110.000 FCFA par campagne.
Ce bénéfice lui permettra de payer son prêt et aussi d'aider son mari dans les dépenses quotidiennes.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

What Makes Educational Technology Successful in the Developing World?
Title: What Makes Educational Technology Successful in the Developing World?

"I've been thinking about simple machines a lot recently, while in Africa working in education. You probably remember simple machines from elementary school science. They're the basic building blocks of mechanical technology, from the inclined plane that helps move equipment easily from one height to another, to the pulley that enables everything from hoists to the modern bicycle, to the wheel. Simple machines are technology at its most elemental form. Think of a bike climbing a hill and you can see all of them working together gracefully; imagine a dump truck and you see how they allow us to create the tallest buildings and the longest highways. Without them, we'd still be carrying water in pails.
Technology helps us advance, but in education it has often been a source of false hope, peddled by people who promise to revolutionize learning. The problem often is that the technology ignores the basic configuration of any classroom in any school: the triangle that connects students, teachers, and ideas. My experience is that technologies that reinforce the relationship between those three poles represent opportunities for stronger classrooms and better education. But those that interrupt that relationship stall and ultimately fail.
E-readers are a fascinating example of a technology seems to be working in the developing world. At a very basic level, having an e-reader is equivalent to having a set of books at hand. Happily, even in schools with only the most rudimentary learning tools available, both teachers and students are well-versed in the importance of books and the ideas within, and readily recognize the value of having great access to them. This represents an enormous improvement over the status quo, where access to books is extremely limited: Botswana, a country the size of France, has fewer than 10 bookstores, and the village library of Kade, Ghana, is nearly empty of books. Imagine for a moment the power represented by e-readers: Students can walk around holding a library of books larger than all those in the bookstores and libraries of their country.
The cost to donate e-books to the developing world is essentially zero, and might even represent a way to create a new market of readers in a generation. The early results we have seen using e-readers in Kenya and Ghana are very promising, with children spending up to 50% more time reading than before the introduction of e-readers, and reading fluency scores increasing quickly. But what's most exciting is that the children and teachers are using e-readers even when not being asked to, downloading books and samples and coming to voluntary summer reading programs to have access to the e-books."

ICT, Financial Inclusion, and Growth: Evidence from African Countries
Title: ICT, Financial Inclusion, and Growth: Evidence from African Countries
Authors: Mihasonirina Andrianaivo and Kangni Kpodar
Pages: 45 pp.

"This paper studies the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT), especially mobile phone rollout, on economic growth in a sample of African countries from 1988 to 2007. Further, we investigate whether financial inclusion is one of the channels through which mobile phone development influences economic growth. In estimating the impact of ICT on economic growth, we use a wide range of ICT indicators, including mobile and fixed telephone penetration rates and the cost of local calls. We address any endogeneity issues by using the System Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator. Financial inclusion is captured by variables measuring access to financial services, such as the number of deposits or loans per head, compiled by Beck, Demirguc-Kunt, and Martinez Peria (2007) and the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP, 2009). The results confirm that ICT, including mobile phone development, contribute significantly to economic growth in African countries. Part of the positive effect of mobile phone penetration on growth comes from greater financial inclusion. At the same time, the development of mobile phones consolidates the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth, especially in countries where mobile financial services take hold."

"Training Guide on Linux System Administration, LPI Certification Level 1, Supporting African IT-enterprises to get Open Source skills and certification on level 1 of the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) Certification
"How do I know that this IT company from Kampala will be able to maintain my IT server infrastructure?" asks a contract-giving government agency in Uganda. The answer lies in a trust-building certification, a crucial ingredient of any economic development agenda. Therefore, FOSSFA and GIZ are proud to present "ict@innovation: Training Guide on Linux System Administration - LPI Certification Level 1". The guide is part of "Linux Certification in Africa - the ict@innovation Training of Trainers Programme". It aims to help African small and medium IT-enterprises (SMEs) involved in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) to improve the quality of their services offered as well as the level of trust of customers through certification of their FOSS skills.
The ict@innovation programme builds capacities in African small and medium ICT enterprises to make a business with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). ict@innovation aims to encourage the growth of African ICT industries, through three main actions: spreading FOSS business models for enterprises, fostering FOSS certification and supporting innovative local FOSS applications for social and economic development. ict@innovation is a partnership of FOSSFA (Free Software and Open Source Foundation for Africa) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Germany [until 2011: InWEnt, now part of GIZ].
We hope that the "ict@innovation: Training Guide on Linux System Administration - LPI Certification Level 1" together with the associated training-of-trainers scheme will contribute to remove a major barrier against adoption and deployment of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in sub-Saharan Africa: the lack of human resources with FOSS skills demonstrated by recognized certificates.
In order to support a wide range of capacity needs and training environments in Africa, the training material and the training-of-trainer programme builds on the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) Certification as a world-wide recognized distribution and vendor-neutral standard for evaluating the competency of Linux professionals with the possibility to hold low-cost paper-based examinations.
The "ict@innovation: Training Guide on Linux System Administration - LPI Certification Level 1" has been released under an open licence (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Germany License) allowing for free distribution, remixing and updating of the material. Our goal is thereby to empower local African training institutions to offer low-cost trainings. And we are looking forward to further building and updating of this Training Guide in the spirit of sharing and mutual capacity building."

"Global survey reveals Business to Business (B2B) marketers must produce localised IT content to engage IT professionals outside North America.
IDG Connect's global content survey of 3,217 IT professionals in 114 territories reveals that whilst 72% of respondents find vendor white papers extremely useful, the majority outside of North America still struggle to find the localised content they need.
Results suggest that although this is an issue worldwide, it is a greater problem in developing markets.
"Engagement levels with our audience soar when we supply content which relates to their region. This is especially true in emerging markets where this information is thin on the ground.
These results show high levels of frustration in IT professionals outside North America and prove that even modest amounts of localisation will help technology marketers enhance engagement," said Matthew Smith VP of IDG Connect International.
· Asia: 74% of IT professionals say they would prefer localized content, but 79% say they "struggle" to find it
· South America: 81% struggle to find local content
· Africa: 75% struggle to find local content
· Middle East: 67% struggle to find local content
· Australia and New Zealand: 69% struggle to find local content
· Europe: 55% struggle to find local content"

"Gender Equality is one of UNESCO's global priorities, together with Africa. Within this framework, UNESCO seeks to promote women empowerment and to mainstream gender in all UNESCO policies, strategies and programs.
UNESCO's believes that the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) model provides interesting tools and processes with which women and men can create, exchange, share and exploit software and knowledge efficiently and effectively. FOSS can play an important role as a practical instrument for development as its free and open aspirations make it a natural component of development efforts in the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The Community "Gender equality in free and Open Source Software" aims at creating a network of different institutions, networks and actors that deal with the Gender Gap in FOSS."

"Telecommunications provider Orange and global search giant, Google have signed a partnership that aims to facilitate access to Google's services across Africa, by leveraging Orange's networks.
This will enable Orange's mobile customers to stay in touch with their Google services and Google users to extend their network by using SMS-based services.
The Orange and Google partnership will leverage Orange's SMS platform to bring Google's services to African customers.
Through the development of SMS-based services that operate on all mobile networks (including GSM), Orange and Google will extend the reach of a wide range of internet services that were previously limited to smartphone and broadband users (through 3G, CDMA or WiMax networks) to all Orange mobile customers.
The "Gmail SMS Chat" service, which will eventually be launched across Orange's footprint in Africa and the Middle East is already available in Senegal, Uganda and Kenya. It will be launched in four additional countries – Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea Conakry and Niger – in the coming months, and will be launched as a trial in Egypt (Mobinil). Orange and Google are now looking to extend this partnership to include other services."

"In an interview with ITNewsAfrica, Brett StClair, Head of Mobile, Google South Africa, talks about the evolution of mobile media in Africa and the exciting times ahead for Google on the continent.
Brett StClair: Gmail SMS is a great platform for both users and mobile operators. What is great about the service is that it provides internet-like services to more ubiquitous technologies like SMS, which have a reach across 500 million African mobile subscribers. These sorts of services are an important stepping stone to diverse services on the mobile Web, helping consumers understand what's possible, and showing why smartphones are so useful and relevant. We offer SMS services across a number of our products, for example, SMS Search (using SMS to search for services and content), and Google Trader, which is a classified platform to allow consumers in Ghana to trade goods on phones, therefore creating business via mobile.
ITNewsAfrica.com: In a recent article published in The Africa Report, "Is Google good for Africa", one of Google's VPs for the region speaks about the lack of information in Africa. How would you comment this statement?
Brett StClair: Our VP Carlo D'Asaro Biondo's statement referred to the fact that Africa has only one web domain for every 10,000 people, versus a global average of 94 domains for every 10,000 people. In other words, information that is important and valuable to Africans is not yet available online. At Google we want to help create and enable more African content online. For example, we are launching Google products in many African languages, including the wide-reaching Swahili, Amharic, Zulu, Afrikaans and more. We launched MapMaker across the continent so that anyone can map their local roads, village, hospitals or schools. Great recent examples include mapping health locations in Korogocho in Nairobi and mapping new parts of South Sudan. These efforts and many more will help bring information online, and make the web more useful and relevant to Africans. And of course, before long they will be accessing this info on their mobile phones."

"Half of Africa's one billion population has a mobile phone – and not just for talking. The power of telephony is forging a new enterprise culture, from banking to agriculture to healthcare
Earlier this month, on a short bus ride through the centre of Kampala, I decided to carry out an informal survey. Passing through the Ugandan capital's colourful and chaotic streets, I would attempt to count the signs of the use of mobile phones in evidence around me. These included phone shops and kiosks, street-corner airtime vendors and giant billboard ads, as well as people actually using their mobile phones: a girl in school uniform writing a text message as she hurried along the street, a businessman calmly making a call from the back of a motorcycle taxi swerving through heavy rush-hour traffic. Not only were half of the passengers on my bus occupied with their handsets, our driver was too, thumbing at his keypad as he ferried us to our final destination. After five minutes, I lost count and retired with a sore neck. There was more evidence here than I could put a number on.
My survey underlined a simple fact: Africa has experienced an incredible boom in mobile phone use over the past decade. In 1998, there were fewer than four million mobiles on the continent. Today, there are more than 500 million. In Uganda alone, 10 million people, or about 30% of the population, own a mobile phone, and that number is growing rapidly every year. For Ugandans, these ubiquitous devices are more than just a handy way of communicating on the fly: they are a way of life.
It may seem unlikely, given its track record in technological development, but Africa is at the centre of a mobile revolution. In the west, we have been adapting mobile phones to be more like our computers: the smartphone could be described as a PC for your pocket. In Africa, where a billion people use only 4% of the world's electricity, many cannot afford to charge a computer, let alone buy one. This has led phone users and developers to be more resourceful, and African mobiles are being used to do things that the developed world is only now beginning to pick up on."

Re: January 2012
posted at 1/9/2012 12:21 PM ESTAmber and Winter love to hear what we're having for lunch, mm, so I'll report I just had a huge salad with cottage cheese in the middle, a cuppa blueberry tea, and one of those magic bars I froze - baking and freezing those was the best thing I've done in a long time, I cut them into really small squares, put them in individual cupcake papers, and they're perfect for snatching one out and topping off a meal.Want to mention too, a chicken noodle soup I tried only because it was in the bargain aisle of S&S and had a coupon for $1.00 off/2, to boot. I opened it last night and had some, delicious. Organic, you add no water, it's called Muir Glen. Creamy tomato bisque is the other half of my 2 for 1 bargain, and haven't tried that yet. Of course, now that I'm reading the back it's loaded with sodium (720 per serving), but the chicken noodle was almost as good tasting as homemade. I'll definitely buy it again - after all, it's not like I'm eating it every day.ETA: All I'm thinking of is a Reuben since someone mentioned that in a post. Love them - but of course I do, they have my sauerkraut in them! Had bought the turkey breast and made as suggested by Dr. Oz, good, but not the same as the corned beef.

Posted by ambergirlI had never noticed it on the shelves, Amber, have no idea what section it's in - is there an organic section?
Re: January 2012
posted at 1/9/2012 12:36 PM ESTAs we just finish the year 2011, I want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally messed up now and have little chance of recovery!
I no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, or have the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.
I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.
I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.
I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.
Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.
I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public restroom.
I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about rat po*p in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant fre*ks with no eyes, feet or feathers.
I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer buy gas without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.
I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer.
AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face. Disfiguring me for life.
I no longer go to the movies because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore , and Uzbekistan ....
I no longer buy cookies from Girl Scouts since I now have their recipe.
THANKS TO YOU I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.
AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up a coin dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a s*x molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.
I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 150,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with dia*rhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's best friend's beautician . . .
Oh, by the way.....
A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.
Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.
P. S.: I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet.

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly
realized that I don't really don't care.
It's the tortoise life for me!
1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn't run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.
Go around me!

My cough is way better than yesterday, and certainly better than the night before when I had to stick my head out the door for the night air to clear the phlegm in my throat so I could breath.

Re: January 2012
posted at 1/9/2012 7:49 PM ESTMM and Amber-sounds like you both had great trips ! Nice to get away.
Winter- I made a version of your pork chops yesterday. Used the crock pot for some country ribs, but used your sauce recipe and onion idea. Everyone loved them, and had leftovers tonight--even better !
Talk about knives--I had a favorite since I was first married (almost 40 yrs ago!). About 6-8 months ago it disappeared. I have said so many times since then, "I can't believe my knife is gone". My son missed it too- said it "protected" him when he was young from "the boogeyman" when he was old enough(we thought!) to be left alone. New Years Eve, I opened the dishwaher, and dropped a spoon on the bottom. When I pulled out the bottom rack--there was my knife , at the back, peeking out from under the bottom spinner thingy. ! I had checked a few times, but it must have just dislodged somehow. It has gone through hundreds of washes- cant belive it was still in one piece. I gave the handle a good overnight soak in oil, and it is doing OK ! What little things make us happy....
TT-glad you are feeling better. That cold/cough/sore throat is really making the rounds.
I have vague memory of the "rags and bottles man". Did he collect them or sell them? Not sure. And was there an ice man? My neighbor remembers a man who sold live chickens who came weekly--this was in the late 50+60's. .
Re: January 2012
posted at 1/10/2012 6:56 AM ESTWow, tulips, what a story about that knife. Laughed to think of your son protecting himself from things that go bump in the night with it! Glad you found it and it's going strong. It is funny what makes us happy, and it's so often the "little things."Speaking of knives, what a difference a good sharpening will do. Must resolve to keep up the good edges myself and not let them get as bad as they did, again.Lots to do today. Vacuuming, steam-cleaning, and coating the floors with wood floor renewer. The bathrooms need a good scrubbing, and I'm going to do tonight's and tomorrow's dinner today so I can go to SIL's and help her set up her new computer, wireless network, and all that jazz after she gets home from work. DH will be on his own, and left to his own devices, dinner will not consist of healthy choices. If something good is all prepared, no worries.And, I just learned that "they" are considering moving the Doomsday Clock's minute hand ahead (although, the report did not say by how many minutes - what the heck kind of reporting is that?) due to the nuclear and geological climates. So, there's no time like the present to get stuff done, lol.Have a great day!

Good Morning! How was the beef stew from Whole Foods? I've tried a few of their soups but not the beef stew.
Amber..isn't the lingering cough the worst thing? I had a bad case of bronchitis several weeks ago and traces of the cough are still lingering. I am glad you are feeling better. This seems to be a tough winter for illnesses. Almost everyone I know has been sick. My office seems like a petrie dish lately..lol

© 2010 Columbia Tristar Marketing Group, Inc. It's lonely at the top for Zuckerberg (played by Eisenberg).
The Movie: The Social Network at Pacific Place (600 Pine St.).
The Screenplate: When the shy, geeky, passive-aggressive Harvard undergrad Mark Zuckerberg is taken to a fancy Manhattan restaurant by a future partner/mentor, he has no idea what to order. He wears a Gap hoodie and flip-flops most of the time; he's barely accustomed to life outside his dorm, away from his precious computer, on which he's created the initial collegiate-only version of Facebook, then with around 1,000 users on Ivy League campuses. That's not a problem for his dining companion, the slick, savvy founder of Napster, Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake), who confidently orders appletinis and expensive Asian fusion appetizers for their table. Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) promptly develops a man-crush on Parker. In the scene you realize how the sheltered programmer not only doesn't know how to order, he barely knows how to eat. Sharing a table with Parker and two gorgeous Asian girls, he has no idea how to socialize or flirt. He's a terrible talker, hardly makes eye contact, and on those rare occasions when he speaks directly, it's usually a put-down. Low man on the Harvard totem pole, desperate to be invited to join one of its secret societies, he's an underminer who resents anyone who is invited. All of which leads us to a Mexican restaurant where solitary diners stare intently at their smartphones, checking their Facebook pages...
A clean, new, and very self-consciously modern Mexican joint on the corner of Third and Pike, Chipotle Mexican Grill is part of a national chain that, like Facebook but on a smaller scale, grew from a small entrepreneurial idea into a successful publicly traded company. Founded in Denver in 1993, Chipotle's basic notion was Mexican plus natural. Its motto: "Food with integrity." It's grown to a chain of over 1,000 quick-stop eateries located in over 30 states, with a market cap in the neighborhood of $5.5 billion (about one-fifth of Facebook's present value).
If Zuckerberg's basic idea, as he explains to fellow student and business partner Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), is to transfer the collegiate social experience online, the Chipotle formula was to transfer the Mexican food experience into a healthier realm, with all the grease and goo taken out. Just as Zuckerberg and company compulsively track their number of users (first only collegians on The Facebook, circa 2004, then the rest of us on Facebook to follow), Chipotle is all about the metrics: calorie counts are plainly posted (on a sliding scale) on the menu; each extra dollop of salsa or guacamole has a price and a caloric value. My price check for a very tasty chicken burrito, extra guac, and a Bud was $11.28. The posted calories are harder to track, since the burrito slides from 350-930. (Also be warned the place closes at eight o'clock if you're racing to make a movie; but it's also very fast.)
Your order gets bigger by increments as you slide your cafeteria tray past the prep area, where orders are plainly assembled in view. You can clearly see what's happening with your food, monitor its progress, much as friends check in on one another on Facebook. Another way of thinking of it: There's not much privacy at Chipotle, where most of the solitary tables are positioned in the middle of the restaurant. Outside, pedestrians can easily peer into the corner location, just as you can stare out the widows. Inside, the music's a little too loud for easy conversation.
Today, as the world's youngest billionaire, it's doubtful that Zuckerberg eats at Chipotle. But the food has the same healthy, portable vibe found in any high-tech corporate campus cafeteria. It's something you can grab and go between meetings, food to be wolfed down while standing at one of the tall little tables, fuel between marathon programming sessions.
It's also doubtful that the Hollywood talent behind The Social Network, one of the year's best movies to date, ventures to Chipotle very often. Or maybe their personal assistants do take-out orders for director David Fincher (Zodiac, Fight Club), writer Aaron Sorkin (the West Wing guy), and producers Kevin Spacey and Scott Rudin. Working from the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, they weave back and forth among legal depositions after Facebook's success and the early Harvard days where Zuckerberg--depending on whose account you believe--stole ideas from several parties to create that nascent website.
For a company, Facebook, that's very much about typing and looking at photos, The Social Network is almost entirely about talking. Sorkin specializes in dialogue among very smart, articulate, and flawed people. No one's an outright villain, because everyone contributed something valuable to Zuckerberg's rolling ball of snow. It just keeps getting larger with every idea he overhears, borrows, or originates on his own. His genius is to give Facebook "exclusivity," like those private clubs at Harvard.
If the movie is most exciting during Zuckerberg's campus frenzy to launch his site before a pair of identical twin rivals (towering Wasps to this slouchy Jew), it actually becomes sadder and more engrossing during the next two acts. Zuckerberg the budding mogul manages to betray and lose his only friend, Saverin, and each of his angry outbursts betrays some of that awareness. Like any obsessive programmer, he has a trace of Asperger's, the ability to shut out the world and code. But if a guy's feelings can be hurt, as Zuckerberg's clearly are, he has feelings. It's very much to the credit of gifted actor Eisenberg (Zombieland, The Squid and the Whale) that he never makes Zuckerberg a sociopath. Arrogant, angry, touchy, thin-skinned, impatient, ambitious--yes, he's all of those things. These are grand Kane-like passions trapped within a dweeb who's anything but flamboyant. Much as Zuckerberg is impressed by Parker, it's clear he'll never be like Parker, a drug-sniffing party dude.
In the Sorkin universe, instead, our flaws and slights are scaled upward. If Zuckerberg begins the film as a lonely, insecure outsider, that's essentially where he'll finish--only in a penthouse, not a dorm room. You can't call a guy who went from Exeter to Harvard an underdog or a victim of discrimination. If he's ostracized, the movie makes clear, he's mostly to blame for it.
Never, however, do Fincher or Sorkin address whether Facebook is a good thing or not. That it has a market cap of around $25 billion, that it has around 500 million users, that is unquestionably a good thing to the filmmakers. At the movies, as in the tech world, it's all about scalability--more tickets, more users, building from a single idea (say, a comic book hero) into a giant franchise. One wonders if these talented over-40 filmmakers actually use Facebook. In a very perceptive New York Times business story, David Carr points to the generational divide in how the film is being received (excellent reviews, not a box office smash). The oldsters mostly disapprove of Zuckerberg the movie protagonist, while the young see him as admirable, a striver. And most newspaper critics are older, too, not Facebook's prime demographic. Younger moviegoers may not be so avid to see a supposedly tragic tale of ambition and betrayal when they could be at home, you know, on Facebook.
The movie is less concerned with technology than people; and it leaves it to the viewer to appraise Zuckerberg, his friends, and his rivals. To me (and clearly to Fincher and Sorkin as well), there's an essential pathos to Zuckerberg typing alone. He'd be better off in a room full of people, or in a proper restaurant, sharing a meal with friends. And if the filmmakers are unwilling to state it (lest they offend potential moviegoers), I will: Facebook diminishes society, isolates people, detracts from the civility we gain from actual, awkward personal encounters (rejection included). But most of the tables are too small at Chipotle for that, and most patrons dine alone (unless you count an iPhone as a companion, which many undoubtedly do). And the food comes in baskets, not on plates; and the cheap plastic utensils can barely slice through a burrito. Most diners are forced to eat with their hands--another insult to manners and polite society.
But yes, there's a Chipotle in Palo Alto, where Facebook has its headquarters. And yes, Chipotle has a Facebook page.

|METHOD FOR THE BIOLOGICAL PURIFICATION OF AMMONIUM-CONTAINING WASTEWATER - A method for the biological purification of ammonium-containing wastewater. The wastewater is purified in an aeration tank in which a low oxygen concentration of less than 1.0 mg/l is set so as to first convert, using aerobically oxidizing bacteria, ammonium contained in the wastewater to nitrite and then to convert, using anaerobically oxidizing bacteria, ammonium and nitrite to elemental nitrogen. At least a part of surplus sludge formed in the aeration tank is separated into a heavy sludge phase and a light sludge phase. The light sludge phase is fed as surplus sludge to a sludge digestion. Sludge water that is separated off from the sludge in a sludge dewatering is fed to a deammonifying tank. Nitrogen compounds in the sludge water are converted, by deammonification in the deammonifying tank, to elemental nitrogen. Surplus sludge formed in the deammonifying tank is fed to the aeration tank.
|METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER CONTAINING AMMONIA - A method for treating wastewater containing ammonium in a de-ammonifying activated-sludge system includes converting a portion of the ammonium into nitrite using aerobically oxidizing bacteria and converting another portion of the ammonium and the nitrite into elementary nitrogen using anaerobically oxidizing bacteria so as to generate a surplus sludge. The surplus sludge is removed from the waste water and separated into a heavy phase including primarily anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria and a light phase. The heavy phase is collected and/or returned to the system.

Senate Senate Approves Additional Dollars To Fight N.H.'s Drug Crisis By Paige Sutherland • Mar 24, 2016 Allegra Boverman for NHPR The New Hampshire Senate unanimously passed a bill to put more money towards combating the state's drug crisis. The measure now heads to the House. Planet Fitness CEO Says Taxes May Drive Him Out Of N.H. By Paige Sutherland • May 27, 2015 Paige Sutherland for NHPR One day after Planet Fitness announced it was going public, the New Hampshire-based gym tells legislators it might not be able to afford to stay in the state. Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley introduced a measure Wednesday hoping to keep the company here, by exempting businesses from being taxed on the share they sell to a corporate partner once they go public. Currently 200 corporate jobs would be lost if the company moved headquarters. The company, which began in Dover in 1992, has more than 950 locations nationwide. Senate Republicans Applaud Proposed Tuition Freeze, Call Funding Debate Premature By Emily Corwin • Sep 16, 2014 Brainlesssteel via Flickr CC Republican State Senate Leadership responded Tuesday to the University System of New Hampshire Trustees' request to restore University funding to 2009 levels, a $16 million dollar increase between 2015 and 2016, in exchange for another two years tuition freeze. Lawmakers Look For Medicaid Tax Solution By Todd Bookman • May 6, 2014 Todd Bookman / NHPR A recent ruling declaring a state tax on hospitals unconstitutional is leaving lawmakers scrambling for a fix. On Tuesday, three amendments were put forward, each offering a different path. Representatives Cindy Rosenwald (D-Nashua) and Neal Kurk (R-Weare) are co-sponsoring a plan that changes technical language within the Medicaid Enhancement Tax and designates that none of the revenue be allocated to the state's general fund. "We need to rethink the nature of the MET, the purpose and the partnership," said Rosenwald. Governor Hassan Calls On Senate To Increase Minimum Wage By Todd Bookman • Apr 22, 2014 Governor Maggie Hassan is urging Senate lawmakers to increase the state's minimum wage. In a letter to the Senate Finance Committee, Governor Hassan writes that boosting the rate would accelerate the state's economic growth. "Restoring and increasing New Hampshire's minimum wage will help our economy by putting more money in the pockets of hard-working people of all ages to spend at businesses across the state," writes Hassan. N.H. Senator Odell Announces Retirement By Associated Press • Apr 18, 2014 New Hampshire State Senate Six-term state Sen. Bob Odell says he will not seek re-election this fall. Senate Approves Gas Tax Hike On 15-9 Vote By Todd Bookman • Mar 27, 2014 konstantine1982 via Flickr CC The New Hampshire Senate has approved a 4.2-cent hike in the state's gas tax that would raise an estimated $32 million for roads projects. The bill also eliminates a set of tolls in Merrimack. New Hampshire's gas tax has held steady at 18-cents per gallon since the early 1990s, losing ground to inflation and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Senator Jim Rausch sponsored the plan, which originally envisioned indexing the tax to the inflation rate. But the Republican from Derry scrapped that plan in favor of a scaled down measure. Morse Is New Senate President By Josh Rogers • Sep 3, 2013 State of New Hampshire Chuck Morse won bipartisan praise for his work on the state budget, and before being voted in as the senate's new leader, he was was hailed by both Republicans as Democrats in nominating speeches. Morse replaced Peter Bragdon, who gave up the gavel amid controversy after he took a job to leading the quasi-public local government center. In his first speech as the senate's new president, Chuck Morse urged colleagues to put the needs of their constituents first.
