Allergies - Yikes!
Anyway, I know some of you have allergies, and I've joined the ranks. After lots of tests, they discovered I have FOOD allergies, of all things! I'm allergic to beef, eggs, flax and sweet potatoes! I'm now on a limited ingredient food, which seems to be helping some BUTT I decided to feast on acorns and twigs in the yard and ended up in the hospital with gastritis. *sigh* We got that under control, and even though they were reminded several times about the food allergies, they (the V-E-T) gave me some bland food to eat for about a week afterwards. Guess what was in it? Yep, BEEF and EGGS! When the Peeps figured it out, they quit feeding it to me, but I had already done a number on my leg furnishings. The problem is, I keep pulling the hair out and my back legs are bald!
So, we have a few of questions…
If you have allergies, what do your Peeps do to relieve the itching?
Do you have to take lots of baths?
Do you have to eat "special" food, too?
Do you use coconut oil, or any other types of supplements to help with your skin and fur? If you put it on your skin, how does your Peep keep you from licking it off?
If you do use supplements, are they topical or do you get them with pill pockets, or on your food?
Do you have any suggestions for my Peeps to keep me from chewing and scratching and ripping my hair out?
Any info you can give the Peeps is appreciated! I'm wearing them out with the ripping and chewing.
This photo was just the beginning. I am now hairless on both back legs. And I've started on my chin. I will be a sad looking Junior Officer if They can't get this under control. And I need to look good in my cap and badge!

Well. can only tell you the Scottie before us had allergies he rubbed his belly raw and the inside of his back legs......he got a shot every month and had a pill he took twice a week, that took care of him.ReplyDelete
Now Mickey, Bites and Me, we get 100% natural Vegetable oil every dinner, two pumps from a squirt bottle...keeps our furs nice and none of us has any allergies.
The Mad Scots
Kyla didn't have allergies to food-she ate everything. She had pancreatitis in 2013 around this time and finished her life with low-fat everything.ReplyDelete
We don't have allergies....knock on wood. We LOVE no grain fish based food, like Canadae Sea. You may have to try something like that!ReplyDelete
My BFF Finley has allergies too, environmental and foodz. So ya can imagine how much fun she are havin wif all da pollen in da air. She are on sublingual allergy therapy (it are lil squirts she gets under her tongue) and some different holistic supplements we get from da vet. Sometimes she has to take steroids, but we try to keep her off em since dey are not very good for her and she has already got a heart condition.ReplyDelete
We has to eats speshul food too - and it are real tuff to find one wifout eggs, corn, potatoes, and alfalfa (which are what she allergic to). She wears clothes to help protect her skins from the environment and sometimes she has to wear da Cone of Shame (it are called a Comfy Cone and she really don't mind it too much) to keep her from going at herself.
Frequent bathin are sposed to help allergies too, so Finley gets a lotta baffs.
Hope ya start feelin better Riley!
Oh Riley, I feels yer pain.. and wiff da oak count thru da roof I's been super duper itchy lately. Could ya maybe have environmental allergeez, too? I duz... dey really showed up when I wuz 'bout 3-4... and dey got worser ovfur time. I takes sublingual allergen therapy (a couple of squirts under my tongue after meals), holyistik supplements (most of dem they just shoves down my throat)...No coconut oil cuz I can gets yeast, and I can't ingest it cuz it isn't heart healthy (too many saturated fats, more than butter!). I takes a Biotin tablet, 5mg a day, to help wiff hair growth, after Momma read dis study... Click here Biotin StudyReplyDelete
Yes, I takes LOTS of baths... although I refers to it as waterboardin'. I knows whut ya means about pullin' out yer hair. Been there, done that. When I git really bad, da folks put a comfy cone e-collar on me until da pollen counts go down. It are a soft cone of shame dat really duzn't bother me, but keeps me from chewin' on myself or scratchin' my face.
And clothes... I's told evfurryone bout da clothes I wears. I pulled all da hair outta my legs so I got some one piece outfits made and da hair grew back. Da comfy cone would work da same to keep ya from chewin' on yerself. Ya needs to break da cycle cuz da chewin just makes ya itch more and den ya chews more.
If yer Momma has any more questions, tell her to send my Momma an email.
Oh, and Momma usta use da pill pockets and dey worked fine till I saw her put a pill in one. Then I wouldn't touch one-- empty or not-- fur luv nor money. So my Momma sez yer Momma should make sure ya don't see her put da pill in it.ReplyDelete
Dat is, if yer a stinker like I is.
Oh-- I furgot!! (I's takin' ovfur yer blog, sorry...)... we use a cream called Dermacton -- dey also has a soap and a spray ( and Whitley used their salve to help finally get rid of her hot spot. It helps to relieve da itchiness.... some pups gets all better on it. (well, if they aren't as messed up as me!) Here's where ya find it.... DERMACTONReplyDelete
Oh, and fish oil or Ultra Efa oil, not coconut... coconut is full of saturated fat.ReplyDeleteReplies
I read your comment Finley ~ saturated fat does not break down the same way in dogs and it does humans.Delete
Dogs never have to worry about cholesterol levels like humans do, as they won't end up with the same types of health issues humans can from eating a high-fat diet. If fat levels are too low; however, dogs can develop dry, itchy skin and a dull coat. Other problems that can develop include a diminished immune system and other potential health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.
Oh I should say early on Lee took several terms in veterinary science and politely disagrees with Finley in regard to coconut oil. It even has just recently been recommended by OSU for our neighbors show Shih Tzu .Delete
I's read of lots of Westies on da coconut oil and quite a few gits da Montezuma's revenge. Nevfur heard of dat happenin' wiff da fishy oils.Delete
We don't have allergies, Riley, but we can sure feel your pain. We see that you are getting lots of suggestions and we hope something works for you in a hurry!ReplyDelete
Love ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
Oh dear that does look a very sore spot. So far, paws touching wood, I haven't had a problem wiv allergies so can't help much I'm afraid....oh, I do haf one problem....Dad's hayfever, his sneezing makes me jump and wakes me up!ReplyDelete
Loves and licky kisses

I have these terrible allergies too. I used to get itchy, scabby rashes and I had chronic ear infections... I pretty much had an ear infection for 12 months straight. In the end they booked me in to the dogtor to clean my ears out and it took them hours to drain my poor left ear they said they'd never seen so much stuff in a dog's ear.ReplyDelete
My peeps tried changing my diet and it did nothing. In the end the Dogtor said the best thing would be to put me on a very low dose of steroids. So, I take a small tablet every three days, I have been so much better since. They said the dose is so low it shouldn't worry me and in the long run I am a much happier doggy.
Oh Riley, we are sorry you have allergies. Lady has them, but we pups are lucky, we do not. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete
Oh Riley, that looks terrible! I can empathize too, mum keeps finding clumps of my fur around the house and I've gotten a baldy spot too. She started give me a table of benadryl twice a day, and a bath any day now. She read some of the suggestions up above and I fear I may be made to wear clothes soon too. Mine are just seasonal allergies, but I've never had them badly in the spring before this year.ReplyDelete
Edgar, your itch comrade and his mum
So sorry you have the itchies! Our Angel Greta had allergies too. She did real well on Nature's Variety Instinct Limited Ing Food (Duck). But she would flair up in the spring.ReplyDelete
She took a very low dose of prednisone, 1/2 pill every 2 or 3 days. the vet said the same thing as Dougall, it is so low it would not be a problem.
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
Oh poor baby. Your parents need to go on petadvisor.com and look for a food without all those things that make you scratch. It is going to be hard and it is going to be expensive but hopefully you can find something. Wishing you all the best.ReplyDelete
I am most fortunate that I am only allergic to flea bites.ReplyDelete
I get a bath more often than Lee's other scots did.
I get a bath every two weeks because my fur has more oil in it.
For my flea allergy Lee uses a strong tea brew that is cold and applies.
We do believe in the coconut oil a little applied with food.
Lee's grandmother lived on a farm and the herding dogs had beautiful coats, she used Mirra Coat and Pet-Tinic. Once when one of the border collies got mange she mixed up that hair on a doorknob which is those two ingredients with honey and peanut butter and within two weeks his fur was coming in beautiful.
Now in the city vets here will not give shots like I think Sidebite is talking about. It is probably a form of prednisone which in shot form kills the itch but has side effects.
Well that is all I know. Good luck
Sweet William The Scot
I dont know and have never had this problemReplyDelete
Oh good luck with that. We've been lucky with our pups, but I have a horse with allergies. He's on a combo of things that while they aren't stopping his itchiness all together, it helps sooth it.ReplyDelete
Monty and Harlow
Thank you for stopping by yesterday and wishing me well. My bum hurts but with everybody caring about me it sure did make Lee and me feel better.ReplyDelete
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Sct
Riley are you feeling a little better? Do you still itch as badly ~ I sure hope not.ReplyDelete
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
So sorry to hear you're not feeling good. Mom uses a little coconut oil on my furs when it gets dry and itchy.ReplyDelete
Abby Lab
Is the itchy any better Riley?ReplyDelete
Sweet William The Scot
Riley I am glad to hear that your new diet and fish oil might be helping ~ growing new hair takes time, praying your furs come back beautifully and no more itchy skin. We sure though about all our friends in Texas with all those flood waters and rain. We are very dry here and HOT.ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by my blog
Sweet William The Scot
Hey boys!ReplyDelete
We can commisserate..Dante is allergic to chicken and Ziva is allergic to beef! And we also suffer from the dry itchies sometimes.
Mom wrote an article on her blog a while back - you could do a search on our blog to find it (the search bar is on the top right) anyways it's about dogs and coconut oil. Coconut oil is really good for dogs, and helped us with our dry itchy skin. It is also antibacterial so it will keep any of your owies nice and clean and moisturized. I hope your skin is doing better since this is an older post!

AbstractThis doctoral thesis is a practice-led enquiry into the value of 3-D Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) in the visualisation and animation of clinical radiological scan data. The aim of this work is to develop an alternative pathway to visualising clinical data that augments and challenges the existing medical imaging aesthetic. It questions the integrity of the author?s arts-based interpretation of the radiological scan data and its relevance in the realworld context of enhancement of doctor-patient communication and interaction.The thesis starts by exploring current pathways for visualising the inner body, in particular biomedical animation, TV documentary, clinical 3-D visualisation and fine art practice inmedical imaging. This analysis is followed by an interrogation of the literature in the field of doctor-patient interaction, resulting in a small qualitative study with patients. This helps to define the opportunity for a new visualisation pathway that brings together the visual and narrative approaches of a 3-D computer animation aesthetic and the detail embedded inclinical radiological scan data.A multi-method approach is used to address the research questions. Informed by a collaborative two-year residency at Ninewells Hospital, NHS Tayside, Dundee, the author creates a series of 3-D CGI works that define this hybrid visualisation pathway. The resulting bandwidth of interpretative works is then investigated in a qualitative study involving semistructured interviews with professionals from the arts and clinical imaging. Overall, the study suggests that image integrity is tethered to context and purpose, contextualising the potential application of the author?s 3-D CGI works. The author concludes that his original contribution to knowledge is this alternative visualisation pathway, as developed through thebandwidth of interpretation. This is achieved through the exposition and use of the author?s tacit knowledge, and the collaborative approach. This provides a transferable model ofworking, for the future visualisation of medical scan data.

It has the same great tone of the first one. I enjoyed it.
Couple of patterns that I might try:
- Daily Sweater -- this is a top-down sweater using a cotton/microfiber yarn. The specified yarn is Rowan Calmer (which is $12 per skein). I'm hoping to be able to substitute Knitpicks Comfy, which is the same fiber makeup, but is only about $2.50per skein. I've ordered one skein of each of three colors -- Blackberry, Pomegranate and Planetarium. I thought I would play around with colors and do some swatching before committing to the yarn or the pattern.
- There are a pair of cabled socks that look like fun to knit. I have some green sock yarn that I might try with this pattern. For some reason I always think of cables as being green. Why is that?
There are lots of patterns that I won't try, but I enjoyed the whole book. It is wonderfully photographed and written with such a great tone. Really enjoyed it, just like the first one.

Our students work with individuals facing significant debt from the loss of job, medical costs, or the actions of an abusive ex-spouse, assisting the low-income clients in the compilation of their initial Chapter 7 bankruptcy paperwork.
How the Program Works
- Attorney Susan Conn '79, trains and supervises students participating in the project.
- We partner with the Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York, which utilizes the students' drafts to recruit pro bono attorneys.
- The pro bono attorneys then represent the clients in bankruptcy court.
The project, which has assisted over thirty clients in the bankruptcy process, teaches students about bankruptcy policy, credit, and debt through workshops, readings, and hands-on experience, while simultaneously building the capacity of the Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York to handle consumer bankruptcy cases.
Student Applications
Students may apply to participate in the Consumer Bankruptcy Law Project each semester. You can learn more about the program at an interest meeting to be held in 109 Lathrop Hall on Wednesday, September 11 at 6:00 pm. Applications for the fall 2019 semester are due to the Upstate Institute by Friday, September 13, 2019, at the first class. The first class will meet on September 13 at 2:15pm at the Upstate Institute office in 109 Lathrop Hall. Program sessions will meet for two hours on Friday afternoons at 2:15 for the remainder of the semester.
Fall 2019 Student Application for Bankruptcy Project
Also of Interest
Consumer Bankruptcy Law Project Attorney Susan Conn, '79, also teaches SOSC 405: Social Security Benefits for Disabled Children. The course introduces students to the Social Security system, discusses the barriers that low-income and disabled families face in accessing social services, and addresses the following legal topics: legal analysis, legal ethics, Social Security disability law, and legal writing. At the end of the course, students prepare a policy/research paper addressing selected topics on current issues in social service provision.
In addition to this coursework, students are also expected to engage in a practicum experience. The practicum involves assisting Ms. Conn in her pro bono work of helping low-income children and their mothers in securing SSI benefits and involves: interviewing disabled adults and children, reading medical files, drafting a persuasive legal argument to the administrative law judge, preparing clients for hearings, and attending administrative hearings. This course will next be offered in Spring 2020.

Cool Hot Rods and Customs from the Street Rod Nationals South
When spring rolls around, we always know that a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee is in order. Each year (for the past 40 years or so), the NSRA Street Rod Nationals South has taken over the city, and we always make a trip, even if it's just for the day. We love checking out the hot rods, customs and classic trucks on display, and it's always good to make a pass through the swap meet to make sure we don't walk away from a hot rod treasure. The crowd was a little down this year, due to the threat of rainy weather, but we still saw plenty of cool stuff. Take a look at our favorites from the 2018 rendition of the NSRA Street Rod Nationals South in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Wedding ceremonies are not for the benefit of the bride and groom. Rather, they are for the benefit of friends and family….and my income as a keyboard player. That lovely couple's public declaration of life-commitment sends a butterfly effect through the universe only God can itemize.
I once played a ceremony for a bride who – once a world-class gymnast – was also a cancer survivor. The guests that night celebrated far more than the love between two individual people. They celebrated life itself. The energy was so unforgettable, it's hard to recall it with dry eyes. Seriously, you wouldn't believe what gymnasts can do on a dance floor when they're drunk.
In honor of every beautiful, unpredictable moment that ever happened at a wedding ceremony, we bestow upon you – dear customer – our freshest collection of royalty-free wedding music for videos. Enjoy!
Mike Bielenberg is a professional musician and co-founder of http://www.musicrevolution.com, a production music marketplace with over 45,000 tracks online where media producers, video producers, filmmakers, game developers, businesses and other music buyers can license high-quality, affordable royalty-free music from an online community of musicians. firstname.lastname@example.com.

EDINBURG — There might not be a deeper conference than the Big 12.
All 10 of the league's teams have made the NCAA Tournament at least once since the 2016-17 basketball season. The Oklahoma Sooners went to the Big Dance last season, spearheaded by NBA Draft lottery pick Trae Young.
When they were led by Young, the Sooners were just that: young. OU was the second-youngest team (an average 1.26 years of experience per player, according to Kenpom.com) in the conference and the 48th-youngest in the country.
This season, Oklahoma is radically more experienced. The average Sooner player has played college basketball for 2.36 years per Kenpom.com, which makes Oklahoma the oldest team in the Big 12 and 13th-oldest in Division I.
One Sooner senior, guard Christian James, had the green light early and could not be stopped. James scored 17 of his game-high 29 points in the first half, punctuated on a 3-pointer before the halftime buzzer. Oklahoma built a double-digit lead on 11 3-pointers in its 91-76 victory over UTRGV at Bert Ogden Arena.
"Our seniors are being asked to work in different roles this year than what they did a year ago," Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. "I thought Christian James played great tonight. He did a lot of things well for us. (Forward) Jamuni McNeace, another senior, had 12 rebounds. Our two fifth-year guys did well. Our experience showed, but I think it's a situation that we'll learn from."
The Sooners (1-0) were also on the free-throw line (22 of 31 attempts) more often, compared to the Vaqueros who took 17 free throws total.
"We have to stop fouling. We were fouling away from the basket way too much," UTRGV coach Lew Hill said. "We did a better job of rebounding tonight. They only outrebounded us by six, but we put them at the line 31 times. That's way too many."
UTRGV (1-1) held two short leads in the opening two minutes, the last of which came on Lesley Varner II's first basket of the game to make it 4-3. Varner was one of four Vaqueros in double figures, finishing with a team-high 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting.
"I need to make sure that I'm doing my thing on the defensive side to help the team and let the scoring come," Varner said. "It's not as hard if you know what's coming your way and what the coach and team needs from you. Then you prepare and do it on the court when it's time to do it."
"I challenged Lesley to be a rebounder and a defender," Hill said. "He could score, but he has to score off of the defense and rebounding, which he did a good job of tonight. When he does that and let the game just happen for him, he's really good. He's one of the more versatile players in our league."
The return of former Pan American coach Kruger, along with the recognizable brand-name of Oklahoma, was a record-setter for the men's basketball program. The Vaqueros lost to OU, the preseason No. 8 team in the Big 12, before a program-best attendance of 5,071.
"We'll come back," Kruger said. "We love it here. We look forward to getting back and cheering on coach Hill's team on the rest of the way."

Scuba diving never got better than this for green fanatics. Brownie's Marine Group has introduced a new electric diving system called VS335 which is environmentally friendly. The diving system saves power underneath water using a variable-speed compressor that automatically adjusts in accordance to the diver's demand for air. This allows longer and deeper dives when running off a battery without emitting toxic fumes or releasing carbon.
The device uses an electronic controller to monitor the pressure inside the air hose and accordingly feed set amount of air to the diver. If more air is being sent than the diver requires, the excess is blown off through an escape valve. If the pressure drops, the controller speeds up the compressor to provide more.
The VS335 can run off AC power when onboard a boat, or off a battery when set inside its floating rubber platform. It can be used simultaneously by up to three divers for one to three hours, with a hose range of 35 feet (10.5 meters) each.

I give this book THREE OUT OF FIVE STARS. It was an OK story that was somewhat interesting.
THIS BOOK IS A SAD STORY FOR 14 to 16 YEAR OLDS.
The main characters for this book are Ray, Mie, Mike, Teddy, and Die. One has an alcoholic father, another is overweight, one has to babysit and take care of her younger brother, who is also one of the main characters, and they stick together because none of them fit in at their high/grade school. This is a slow developing graphic novel story with colorful pictures. I enjoyed the book, but at many points I found it boring but interesting enough to continue reading.This book is about a group of high school misfits and the superhero they looked up to. This story is meant for all teenagers who do not quite fit in. Some might relate to the difficult home life of these children, their wish to become superheroes and their need for a superhero to keep them hopeful. Unfortunately, the story starts out when their superhero is killed by the bad guy and what the kids do when they find the superhero's dead body. They react as kids who after this adventure will be forced to grow up through a painful experience. None seem to know the right thing to do and their situation goes from bad to worse. I felt their disappointment when they met and interacted with their hero.This book has many surprises throughout the story and both happiness and disappointment. The book is not a series.

The age of autonomous vehicles is closer than you think
In a recent report by BIS Research*, the autonomous vehicle market was estimated at 6.6 million units in 2017 and is anticipated to reach 67.5 million units by 2028. This new technology will have a disruptive impact on jobs, not to mention firms linked to the auto industry, like Sydney Airport (think car parking revenues), Cabcharge, Transurban, Automotive Holdings, AP Eagers and Carsales, Bapcor, Super Retail Group and many others.
Another step toward broad scale global adoption has been announced in China this week with Ciston PR Newswire publishing a press release stating "China Post and Deppon Express, two of China's leading delivery and logistics companies, have begun autonomous package delivery services with the first self-driving vehicles to be put into daily commercial use in China. The delivery trucks will operate on autonomous driving technologies developed by FABU Technology, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on intelligent driving systems."
Putting aside China's claims that all the above companies are "leading" – ignoring Waymo and many others – the press release detailed the recent testing of the technology;
"China Post, the state-owned enterprise that operates the official postal service of mainland China, employs 860,000 employees in over 82,000 post offices and branches. The service operates over 39,000 transport vehicles, which travel over a delivery network with 1,926,250 miles of streets and highways. Deppon Express is a leading logistics company in China, with operations in Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Deppon Express operates 10,000 retail offices across China's 34 provinces.
"Starting in November 2018, FABU partnered with China Post and Deppon Express to begin testing Level 4 autonomous driving trucks in China's heavily populated Zhejiang Province. In Level 4 autonomous driving, the car handles the majority of driving situations independently although a human driver can still take control when needed.
"During the testing, self-driving trucks operating on FABU autonomous driving technology averaged 40-mile daily round trips along three different routes, with one delivery route passing through 50 intersections, 26 of which were controlled by traffic lights. The trucks drove both in daylight and at night, and on highways, through tunnels and along residential streets filled with pedestrians, schools and flea markets. Since the self-driving tests were conducted in winter, these Level 4 trucks also had to drive their routes during challenging weather conditions such as rainstorms, snow and fog."
The carrier however did not specify how many autonomous vehicles it would begin using in April.
Autonomous delivery is on the radar of many U.S. and global carriers. The US struggles with a truck driver shortage. Analysts reasonably expect autonomous vehicles to significantly reduce labour and insurance costs for logistics companies but in the US, most of the autonomous delivery technology is operating on footpaths. Amazon Prime is piloting its 'Scout' delivery technology in Washington, FedEx is piloting its SameDay robot in a few months' time and Starship Technologies is operating in San Francisco's Bay Area.
Having said that, this Reddit Post shows a user's photograph of an autonomous truck operated by the freight company Embark hauling an Amazon Prime trailer autonomously from Texas to California. This official website shows the Embark trucks operating autonomously.
It may only be a few years before autonomous vehicles are operating. Logistics and robotaxis are expected to be the first 'use cases'. It is also true that in a decade's time, hundreds of millions of conventionally operated vehicles will still be on the road. It may be 50 years or longer before the entire global fleet of conventionally operated vehicles are mothballed but a change is definitely afoot.
* Global Autonomous Vehicle Market – Analysis and Forecast, 2018-2028.

Mothering Sunday is a hugely busy time here at the Blue Box Flower Company- so we thought we would show you the chain of events that lead to your bouquet!
First of all, the Scented Narcissi are hand picked to order by our various teams at all the farms that bring us flowers- this is a photo of Team Tremelethen picking the Scilly Pride that will be going out in all of our Mother's Day Bouquets on Friday.
Below is Naomi of Team Sunnyside Farm holding a huge bundle of Scented Narcissi to be brought up to us!
Next stage of the Scented Narcissi, is the grading process. Rhiannon of Sunnyside Farm is bundling all of the same length Scented Narcissi together- this is how we ensure that only the top grade of flower is sent out to our customers, which is why you will always have those lovely long stems!
Time to bring the Scented Narcissi up to the Blue Box Flower Company!
Every day, our farmers visit us (multiple times) with van loads of flowers. Some of these are already tied and ready to go out in the bouquets, others need to be counted and tied by our Bunching Team.
Once the Bunching Team have checked the grade of the flowers, they are counted in tens, and placed on the banding machine, which enables Louise, at the head of the machine to count exactly how many flowers each farmer has brought up to us!
To keep the flowers fresh, we store them in a cold store which is a hive of activity as fresh flowers are shipped out, and new flowers are brought in- can you imagine the scent of all of these flowers?
Finally, our florists select the freshest and best grade of Scented Narcissi flowers for our luxury Blue Box bouquets. They are placed in Flower Fresh Pouches, to ensure they have water for their journey, and then carefully wrapped and hand-tied in our bespoke packaging.
The journey, of course, does not stop there. We then take our Blue Boxes up to the airport, or the quay and they are flown to Lands End, or placed on the Gry Maritha to start their journey to Penzance Quay.
Our couriers come into their own at this point, delivering the bouquets up and down the UK.
We still have a few weeks left of our Season until most of our Farm Teams will be going to their Summer jobs, so make sure you place your order while you still have a chance!

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on 5 August said her government is "in the process" of approaching the CBI and handing over the responsibility of investigating the theft of Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize.
"We are in the process of approaching the central probe agency expressing our willingness to take over responsibility of the poet's Nobel medallion theft probe," Mamata Banerjee told reporters after an administrative meeting with the Burdwan district authority.
"If the state government was given the responsibility, it can try to retrieve the Nobel medallion of Rabindranath Tagore lost in 2004 from the Visva Bharati University," she further said.
Basudeb Banerjee, chief secretary, said the process would commence after he writes a letter to CBI expressing the state government's willingness to take over the investigation, when he returns to Kolkata.
Chief Minister after visiting Visva Bharati University, on 5 August said, "If CBI can't, we can look for Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel."
She said it was a matter of shame that Tagore's Nobel medallion was stolen. "The Nobel medallion was stolen with other memorabilia."
"Now a replica has replaced it. This is a matter of shame for me. The CBI is investigating the matter and so far has no success. If they can't, then we might give it a try if given a chance. My emotions are attached to it," she had said during her visit to Shantiniketan.
Rabindranath Tagore's memorabilia, including the medallion, disappeared on 25 March, 2004, from the university's Rabindra Bhavan museum. Mamata had held a demonstration and demanded a CBI probe that time.
In 2010, the CBI had closed its investigation into the theft of the country's first Nobel prize medal awarded to Tagore in 1913 and other memorabilia citing dearth of clues.

A Californian school is going to be making big bucks when Snapchat parent company Snap goes public, thanks to a fortuitous early investment in the app.
The Information's Alfred Lee and Tom Dotan report that Saint Francis High School stands to make "tens of millions" of dollars — if not even more.
The private Catholic school, located near Google parent company Alphabet's central offices in Mountain View, was apparently one of the earliest investors in Snapchat back in 2012, around a year after it first launched.
Now operating under the name Snap, the company is preparing to go public in an eagerly awaited New York IPO at the start of March that should value it at up to $US22 billion.
It's not clear how much Saint Francis High School invested in Snapchat, or exactly how much it stands to make — but it should be a lot. According to The Information, the combined value of the shares sold in the two 2012 funding rounds, worth $US15.2 million at the time, are now roughly $US3.2 billion. (We don't know which of the two rounds the school invested in.)
So what's a school doing investing in a messaging app that had (at the time) a reputation for sexting? It's down to one of the fathers of a student at the time — Barry Eggers, founder of another early Snap investor Lightspeed Venture Partners. It was Eggers apparently who got the app on the radar of SF Growth Fund, the private school's investment fund.
The school did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, which was sent outside of US business hours.
On its website, Saint Francis High School says it "serves Catholic families and all families who wish to experience a Catholic, Holy Cross education. In the Holy Cross tradition, Saint Francis High School serves students with a variety of abilities and backgrounds and unites them into a community where the gifts and talents of each person are appreciated." It charges $US16,000 a year for tuition.

Around ten years ago, smartphones were a luxury.
What started as just a phone with a few cool extra features has morphed into something else. It's now a tool for managing our entire lives. We can buy toilet paper, manage our schedules, learn new recipes, and even control the temperature in our homes from our phones.
And now, yes, we can also make money. Read on to find out how you can start making your smartphone work for you.
Eight Ways to Make Money with Your Smartphone
Take Surveys
There are many apps for taking surveys from your phone which pay you in real-life cash. The money usually comes from retailers and product developers looking to fine-tune their marketing strategies.
Harris Poll Online is an app available for both Android and iOS, which lets you take surveys right from your smartphone. Another survey app for both platforms is Survey Junkie.
Each time you complete a survey, you earn points that can be redeemed for cash and gift cards. To give you some confidence going in, both apps have been around for a while and have some credibility.
Sell Your Photos on Stock Websites
Stock websites are always great for finding photographs, and if you love taking photos yourself, then you may find yourself able to sell the images online. The more generic they are, the better as they're likely to be used for many things. Aim for ones where they don't have any branding or anything in the frame that would stop them from being worth any monetary value.
You don't necessarily need a camera either as most phones will have just as good as a camera integrated into it. As you earn, you can then reinvest it into some proper equipment.
Start a Blog or YouTube Channel
Influencers are the latest trend when it comes to making money, particularly from the comfort of your own home. If you enjoy writing or talking about your home life, then you will benefit from running a blog or a YouTube channel. Video platforms and social media platforms, in general, are a great way of earning money.
As you build up a following, the money you can earn in a short space of time can be life-changing. Many works with brands and companies that are looking to promote their products or services and as times change, the influencer industry is only going to become stronger and part of the new way of advertising in businesses.
Start a Side Hustle
Many on-the-side jobs begin on apps. The disadvantage of side hustles is that you need to spend some time, and possibly money, getting it going. The advantage is that you could make bank!
If you own a reliable four-door vehicle and can pass a background check, consider becoming a driver through Uber, Lyft, or both. If you enjoy driving and have some flexibility to respond to requests, this is a potentially high-earning gig.
Another option for a side hustle includes delivering food from a variety of restaurants to customers through DoorDash. Airbnb is another excellent way to make extra cash, though you will need a spare bedroom, guest house, or second home. All of these apps are available on both iOS and Android.
If you fancy yourself a bit of a writer, then now is the best time to start self-publishing. With sites like Amazon offering amateur writers the opportunity to publish their work, you could end up having major success if your book goes viral.
The best part is you can write from your smartphone, and if you prefer, you can even dictate your novel using the various apps available. Legally blind author, Javan Bonds, wrote six books using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Invest in the Stock Market
Passive income is income earned with little to no direct action needed. This makes investing in the stock market the ideal way for those with a day job to make money on the side.
There are several apps for investing in stocks. Betterment is an app that lets you choose the amount you want to invest and will allocate your funds according to your age and goals. Ally Invest gives users more freedom to decide what to invest in, but you will need to know what you're doing to make money. Both apps are available for iOS and Android.
Invest in Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a new way of investing money, and with those who become a Bitcoin Billionaire, it can be easy enough for anyone to do it as long as you know how to. It's worth reading up about cryptocurrency and how you can benefit from it personally.
It might take some time to learn the ins and outs, but it's one thing that can end up making money (and lots of it) in the future. Many modern-day Millenials are taking advantage of this to live more luxuriously and not to work so much!
Build a Social Media Presence
This is another excellent way to support your day job from the downtime spent your phone. Businesses with active social media pages garner much more attention, traffic, and ultimately revenue, than those without.
Twitter is an excellent medium for both drawing attention and getting conversations started. It only takes a few minutes to post a tweet, and thanks to your smartphone, you can do it from anywhere. The same goes for Facebook and Instagram.
There are unlimited ways to use your phone to your benefit, and there is a method for everyone. All it takes is a little research and a little (or a lot) of investment. Regarding how much you make, remember that you get out what you put in. Get downloading and happy earning!
These are just a few tips on how to earn for 2019, so why not try them out for yourself?

The nutraceutical consumer today has become more discerning and interested in understanding and appreciating the benefits and advantages of the entire range of nutraceutical products. This is translating into a more focussed approach on the product away from numbers and letters and towards function and real world applicability.
Consumers are increasingly questioning, "What is the role for this vitamin in my life, why would I need this particular product as an aid to my diet and general health?" The educated public is beginning to appreciate that not all products are equal and that sometimes, more can be less, especially if that more is never produced in a form the body can actually use, at the time it is actually required. The industry needs to listen and respond with something other than just a new dose and label.
Consumers would like guidance and a reason to make an educated decision on the support they actually require in their daily lives. For example, not everyone needs every vitamin every day. Sometimes they only need ones related to their current needs, be that energy or pregnancy or issues with metabolism.
Sometimes we need a quick boost. Squeeze some oranges, and take a drink! Most of the vitamins are immediately available. However just taking a large dose in the morning is not a guarantee that there will be sufficient vitamins around for the whole day. In general, when we eat and digest food, we gradually acquire all the vitamins over many hours as the digestive system steadily releases the nutrition from the food we eat. In many cases we need the nutrients throughout the day and a large dose of the daily needs requirement does not do this. In fact many of the vitamins taken in this form will be metabolised or excreted before they are of any use to the body, wasting money and not providing the desired benefits.
Nutraceuticals today need to be relevant: they need to be designed for the modern world and the modern consumer. The technology exists to make the consumption and targeting of vitamins and other nutraceuticals more naturalistic and relevant to the body's needs.
Modern formulation technologies such as the matrix technology employed in the Biosync™ Tailored Release™ products provide the answer with controlled and relevant release of therapeutics to ensure maximum benefit.
Namëna's proprietary advanced cellulose matrix is designed to capture and hold vitamins in place and protect them from environmental degradation. When the Biosync vitamin tablet is swallowed, it begins to absorb water from the fluids in the digestive tract. These fluids gradually convert the tablet into a gel which eventually develops layers of channels allowing the vitamins a release pathway to the gastrointestinal tract for absorption. This release is independent of the different acid, neutral and alkaline conditions found throughout the length of the gastrointestinal tract.
The result is that the user receives the entire dose of vitamins contained in the tablet in a form and manner which can be used, minimising waste and making it therapeutically relevant and cost effective; science truly helping nature!

Why Growth Is Ending (the elevator pitch)Leave a comment
October 24, 2012 by locu5amoenu5
See on Scoop.it – DIY & "The Great Reskilling"
Ever wondered how to explain the converging crises we face to someone in hurry?
"By the 1980s, electrification and car-buying had reached a point of diminishing returns in the industrialized world. Since then, spectacular new technologies have led to minor rates of economic expansion. This suggests that rapid oil/electricity-based growth was a historic one-off. Will we see more new inventions? Of course. Will they result in a booming economy? Not necessarily."

Scan the outside of your house and see what stands out. Siding? Neutral. Brick accents? Neutral again. Roofline? Nothing fancy. Windows? All the same shape and boring. So much for curb appeal!
The perfect solution is to add a patio or deck and revamp the landscaping around it. You could soon have an inviting outdoor living space that can boost your home's curb appeal and dramatically change its functionality. A few benefits include:
- New outdoor living space for cozy gatherings or energized parties
- Varying visual lines from an oval patio or octagonal deck
- Added textures from new plants, patio furniture and fabrics
You want a space that is 100 to 200 square feet for intimate gatherings without grill space. For large entertainment space, try 400 square feet or more. When adding a deck, make sure to:
- Measure your furniture and grill first and allow 2 to 4 feet around the perimeter.
- Place chairs to maximize sun, but minimize intensity and glare. For daytime use, have chairs facing away from the east. Here's more on furniture layout from Patiocollectionca.com.
- Plan ahead for lighting along stairs and railings.
- Pick a spot away from your neighbor's patio to avoid dueling backyard parties.
- Select a location near a key interior room. By adding a deck that connects to your kitchen, you make it easy to extend dinner parties outdoors and carry food in from the grill.
Here are several layout options, along with measurements, from Trex.
Adding a deck or patio?
Not sure which to add? It often comes down to topography. Yards with raised first floors and varying terrain are better suited for decks. Many gardeners with sumptuous perennial beds like patios because of the connection to the landscaping. Here's more from HGTV.
Next, enclose the areas with evergreen trees for privacy, bright flowers for show and a sprinking of perfumed lilies. Now…that's curb appeal!

Kevin Feige Confirms Stan Lee Has Another Cameo On the Way
Kevin Feige just appeared on Marvel's red carpet premiere stream for the Captain Marvel, and confirmed that the late great Stan Lee does have another cameo on the way beyond the one in Captain Marvel.
Talking about the tradition of Stan's cameos he said:
"It became a national holiday when he was around on set, up through this movie and an upcoming one as well."
He didn't specific which movie he'd be in, but with Avengers: Endgame on the way and Spider-Man: Far From Home after that; it's one of those two. Most people expect Avengers: Endgame to be his final cameo, and it would be fitting as that's the culmination of the 21-movie series to this point.
