Washington Metropolitan Business Brokers
Bethesda, MD
Hi end, flower and gift shop for sale. Location is in a very wealthy are of Montgomery County, and owner is interested in retiring in the next year or two. This business is best suited for an owner operator, customer service is our number one priority. Current owner has owned this business for 23 years, and business existed for nearly 50 years prior to that, in a different location. When purchased in 1993, business was generating only $345,000, and today business generates over $700,000. There is about 3 more years on the lease, and the landlord does not want us to leave, so I am pretty certain that they would negotiate a very desirable option. Current owner takes home 6 figure income. The business has a very strong reputation in the Washington DC area as one of the finest custom florists around. Long term, loyal client base supports the business as well as gaining new clients. Owner is interested in selling to someone who will and can carry on the legacy of a quality flower shop, and is less interested in the price of the business. Owner is happy to share balance sheets and any other information that is needed by prospective buyers. This is a little gold mine for the right person, especially if they have skills in marketing on the internet. Current business has website, but has never been developed to its full capacity. This business is not listed with a broker, but is being offered by current owner. Due to confidentiality, the only way to get in touch with owner is through the email address, email@example.com . Owner is open to any reasonable offers and opportunities. Owner is also available to remain on for a period of time, and will also be available to help out whenever needed by new owner. Again, this is a very rare, good opportunity for the right person. What I need to see from any interested parties is a brief resume representing business and floral experience as well as any other important information which you might want to share.

Montreal ponders ban or limit on plastic water bottles
CTV Montreal
Published Tuesday, February 23, 2016 8:19PM EST
Last Updated Tuesday, February 23, 2016 8:37PM EST
Now that the city of Montreal has decided to ban most plastic bags by 2018, it appears Mayor Denis Coderre is moving on to the next green project – possibly limiting the sale of plastic water bottles.
At Monday's plastic bag ban announcement, the mayor said the city's environment commission will now look into banning or limiting the availability of bottled water.
"What we have to do now is look at multi-use containers, go to a consignment of multi-use containers. The industry will have to provide the consumer with possibly multi-use plastic if that's possible," he said.
Environmentalists say bottled water companies can be part of the solution if they take the concept of social responsibility seriously.
"Bottled water, the packaging, the single-serve PET bottles, they're 72 per cent of the water bottles out there are recycled and each bottle is 100 per cent recyclable. Plastic beverage containers are not plastic bags. There's a market out there, there's a high demand for those bottles to be recycled into new bottles," explained Elizabeth Griswold of the Canadian Bottled Water Association.
Environmentalist Daniel Green said it's time to wind back the clock and wean ourselves off the single use plastic bottle.
"What did we do before? Were people dying in the streets of dehydration before plastic bottles?" asked Green, adding that there are rare occasions where bottled water is useful.
"Having said that there always will be a place in an emergency situation to have stockpiles of bottled water (due to the occasional contamination of our water supply," he said.
Green said he welcomes Mayor Coderre's more environmentally-friendly new direction.

Thorn excited but realistic about title chances
Relevant offers
Super Rugby
For those getting a little exuberant over the Highlanders' prospects of ending their Super Rugby title drought this season, it's worth listening to the words of their 38-year-old rookie.
Brad Thorn has forgotten more than most rugby players will ever learn about playing for championships, and hoisted more silverware in his time than many a career burglar.
Yet he understands too well how difficult the Super Rugby title is to win, and how many factors you've got to get right to prevail against the very best from three countries.
Thorn has a cast-iron reputation as a winner, having claimed four NRL championships with the Broncos, and gone on to add New Zealand provincial, Super Rugby, Heineken Cup and World Cup crowns to his resume in the 15-a-side code.
Now he has elected to wind back the clock and play one more season of Super Rugby at the place where it all began.
The All Black legend was born in Mosgiel, just over the hill from Dunedin, and spent his first eight years in and around the Otago province before moving to Australia with his parents.
So he's as excited as anyone about the chance to contend for a championship with Jamie Joseph's tooled-up Highlanders. Plus exceedingly realistic about their prospects, even with himself, Ma'a Nonu and Tony Woodcock added to their solid core of international talent.
"For me having experienced being with the Crusaders, I know there's a lot of hard work in front of us," said Thorn, who sat out Friday's final pre-season hitout against the Blues because of calf tightness.
"It's a tough competition to win, and my outlook is very much one game at a time. There's a lot of things that have got to come together to have a successful season. At the moment it's very promising but we've got to keep our feet on the grass and just get on with it."
Thorn's seven seasons with the Crusaders reinforced one key thing to him.
"I was there with two of the best players in the world in Richie [McCaw] and Dan [Carter] and I only won one title in seven years. It's a team game, you've got to have luck with injuries, and it's a long hard season now with 16 rounds and three finals."
Not that Thorn is without hope.
"It's promising," he says. "The guys want to raise the bar, they want to achieve more, and so do I. But me being the conservative sort of guy I know there's a lot of hard work to do."
Thorn also makes a pledge to Highlanders fans around his surprise decision to come back from Japan.
"This is me saying I haven't forgotten where I come from. So I don't want to come back and not give my best effort. I want to have a good impact. I feel like I'm still in pretty good nick and keen to perform as best I can."
Those ambitions, though, do not include an All Black comeback.
"I had my time, and it was time to go. The All Blacks will always be something very dear to me, but these other guys have come along, done a great job and it's their time now."
Thorn meanwhile reveals that new Highlanders recruit Jake Parignatai, still recovering from a hand injury, was taken under his wing at the Sannix club in Japan.
"He's aggressive, a good ball-runner, and quite physical. I saw his raw material and thought there was potential for him to play Super Rugby. We talked about it, and I trained him as I train myself. He took to it and worked like a dog, with some really good results.
"He's very capable and I look forward to seeing him have a go."

Criminals caught out on Facebook
Relevant offers
Facebook has proved an effective crime fighting tool for police to track down wanted criminals.
North Shore Police area commander Inspector Les Paterson says two groups of burglars have been arrested as a result of police Facebook posts in the past few weeks.
A group of three burglars who saw their photos on the North Shore Police Most Wanted page gave themselves up, he says, and another group of three were identified after security camera footage of them was posted.
"That's a considerable number of potential victims that won't be burgled because these guys are now out of action."
Some police Facebook posts have reached up to 10,000 people, he says.
Those who drive off without paying for petrol are also being outed on the page with help from the public.
"The offenders often use stolen number plates on their cars, but police have other tools for identifying them using our Facebook site."
Mr Paterson says police are looking to inform retailers and security organisations on how to manage the process with their own social media pages.
"The police have to be careful that we don't simply become a security company by default.
"Retailers and those in the security industry have the option of debt collection which incurs a penalty fee of it's own as a defacto punishment, or if necessary, providing offender details to police to make the arrest."
Police are looking to other online channels to get around the legal and functionality issues that have so far limited their Facebook usage, Mr Paterson says.
But the North Shore will continue to have an online "Most Wanted" facility.

Taxpayers' Rich List: Biggest salaries in the public sector
More than 9,000 public sector workers earn more than the Prime Minister, a Panorama programme will show tonight.
In a programme to be broadcast as 8.30 - Because We're Worth It: The Taxpayers' Rich List - a series of Freedom of Information requests will lay bare the extent of excessive salaries among civil servants.
Here, we set out some of the highlights:
Gerald Jones, Chief Executive and Director of Administration, Wandsworth Borough Council, London - £299,925
Sir Jock Stirrup, Chief of the Defence Staff, Ministry of Defence - £288,700 (Before stepping down this summer)
Sir Paul Stephenson (above), Commissioner, Metropolitan Police - £280,489
No Name Supplied, a GP in Hillingdon, West London - £475,000 (Remuneration is a mid-point in the pay bracket given)
No Name Supplied, Essex County Council - £232,500
Mark Thompson (pictured right), Director General - £838,000, including pension and benefits
How it compares with previous official lists
In May, in an attempt to improve transparency, the newly elected Coalition government office published the names of 170 civil servants who earned more than the PM.
The top of that list was thus:
1. John Fingleton, the chief executive of consumer watchdog the Office of Fair Trading, took home between £275,000 and £280,000 last year - nearly double David Cameron's £142,500 pay.
2. David Nicholson, the NHS Chief Executive, had a total salary and benefits worth up to £260,000.
3. Joe Harley, the director general of IT at the Department for Work and Pensions, earned £245,000 to £250,000.
4. Sir Jock Stirrup, the Chief of the Defence Staff, who pocketed up to £245,000.
5. Britain's most senior civil servant, the Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell, was only fifth in the list, with pay and perks worth up to £240,000

Confirmed for BBC One on 9 January at 9.00pm to 10.00pm
Ep 2/6
Wednesday 9 January
In an incredible TV first, the Africa team travels to the rocky outcrops of the Serengeti, in Tanzania, to film a tiny lizard as it risks its life to eat flies from a sleepy lion's face. The nesting habits of the four-foot-tall shoebill - one of the most bizarre-looking birds in Africa - is also filmed for the first time. The giant bird has two chicks but, due to extreme sibling rivalry, only one will survive.
On the sun-parched plains of Amboseli, the extreme weather conditions take their toll – a baby elephant dies in the drought and its mother leaves the herd to stay with her offspring until the end.
Eye To Eye goes behind the scenes with an expedition to the summit of the Ruwenzori Mountains. And the heart-rending reality of filming the dying baby elephant is explained.

Hi, my name's Tarot. My mom and dad adopted me from the Humane Society and I'm so glad cuz that place was really scary for me. They found me shivering at the back of my cage and thought I was just too cute to be in there like that.
I really like going for walks and car rides. I love being chased around the house, too. My favourite is bed time when I get to snuggle under the blankets.
Overall, I'm a good doggy and I'm really cute, too.
