News Release
Joslin Names Ranch C. Kimball, Former Romney Chief Economic Advisor and Distinguished Business Leader, as Seventh President
BOSTON — January 19, 2007 — Ranch C. Kimball, a distinguished leader in business who served as Secretary of Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under former Governor Mitt Romney, has been appointed the chief executive officer and seventh president of the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center. Kevin E. Conley, Chair of the Joslin Diabetes Center Board of Trustees, announced the appointment, following the Board's unanimous approval. Kimball will assume the post effective February 1, 2007.
Kimball was selected following an international search conducted over five months by a committee of representatives from the institution, the Joslin Diabetes Center Board, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School.
Located in Boston's Longwood Medical Area, the Joslin Diabetes Center is the world's largest diabetes research center, diabetes clinic, and provider of diabetes education. Founded in 1898 by Elliott P. Joslin, M.D., the Joslin is affiliated with Harvard Medical School and clinically affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Kimball will succeed C. Ronald Kahn, M.D., who in September announced his intention to step down as President to pursue his passion for research and new projects that can further our knowledge and work toward prevention and cure of diabetes. Dr. Kahn has served in major leadership roles at Joslin for 25 years and served as Executive Vice President and President for more than 11 years. Dr. Kahn was instrumental in assembling the broadest-based diabetes research team in the world and lifted the Joslin to a new level nationally and internationally.
Kimball brings to Joslin a distinguished record in state government where, among other accomplishments, he was responsible for attracting major biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms to establish operations in Massachusetts. He has a demonstrated ability to build strong connections between state government, business and academic medical organizations for the purpose of finding new and innovative support for biomedical research. In 2006, he received the national Biotech Industry Organization's award for top state executive in the country. As Governor Romney's chief economic leader and advisor, Kimball's responsibilities included the oversight of 22 agencies, four cabinet secretaries and more than 2,500 employees ranging from those at the Department of Labor, the Department of Workforce Development, the Department of Business & Technology, to the Office of Consumer Affairs & Business Regulation. In 2004, Kimball created the "Business Resource Team," the Commonwealth's one-stop model for businesses seeking to grow in the state.
Widely known and respected in the business community, Kimball led major reforms in improving Massachusetts' economic development and achieved a long record of legislative success. Reflecting his broad impact, Governor Deval Patrick noted, "Ranch was a great servant of the Commonwealth and is a superb choice for the Joslin Diabetes Center."
"Ranch Kimball is known for his strategic thinking and get-it-done approach and most importantly, the ability to conceive and execute sweeping initiatives," said Chairman Conley, who is also President & CEO of Conley & Company. He is the ideal person to lead Joslin through a series of new opportunities so it can grow rapidly to meet the epidemic of diabetes head-on."
"Diabetes is the growing healthcare epidemic of our time, and its consequences extract a terrible human cost," said Kimball. "I am here to help the wonderful staff of the world's leading diabetes center make an even more significant impact on this terrible epidemic that touches so many people in such personal ways."
Kimball's appointment has drawn supportive response from members of the Boston academic, medical, business and government communities:
"Ranch Kimball brings to the leadership of the Joslin Diabetes Center not only extensive experience in management and public policy but also a deep understanding of the role that medicine plays in our lives, society, and economy," said Susan Hockfield, Ph.D., President, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Given his strong record of commitment to research and innovation, I know that he will work to ensure Joslin's continued preeminence as a resource for our region, the nation, and the world."
"I'm very excited that Ranch Kimball will be leading the Joslin," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said. "He is one of the city's most respected and well-known business leaders, and it's a real success for the Joslin to have him as their CEO. Ranch has a proven track record at getting the most difficult things done while keeping a large coalition happy and engaged. He was a real star in the Romney administration, and he also has earned respect and friends across the board in both parties throughout the state."
"Ranch's genuine enthusiasm for biomedical research and collaboration will make him a superb leader of the Joslin," said Paul Levy, president and CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
"Ranch is an outstanding choice for President of Joslin Diabetes Center," said Jack Connors, Chairman of Hill Holliday and Chairman of the Board of Partners Healthcare. "The Joslin has a great heritage and now, with Ranch's expertise in leadership, life sciences and his demonstrated ability to build relationships between legislative, business and academic communities, the Joslin will thrive and prosper."
"We look forward to working closely with Ranch and his colleagues at the Joslin to support the important missions of advancement of education and research in the field of diabetes and related conditions," says Raphael Dolin, M.D., Harvard Medical School Dean for Academic and Clinical Programs.
Kimball is Chair of Mass Development and serves on the boards of several non-profits, including the Museum of Science, Wheelock College, the Museum of Fine Arts and WGBH-TV. Previously, Kimball spent 25 years in the private sector helping businesses grow. He ran a private equity firm for Kissinger McLarty Associates and was a partner at Boston Consulting Group. Kimball received an A.B. in Economics from Princeton University in 1980 and lives in Brookline with his wife and two sons.
Outgoing President C. Ronald Kahn, M.D.
Dr. Kahn, who served as Joslin's Research Director for more than 16 years prior to becoming president in 2000, will remain very active at Joslin. In addition to focusing on his research, he will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and continue to pursue academic affairs at Harvard Medical School where he is the Mary K. Iacocca Professor of Medicine.
"It has been a special privilege to work with Ron Kahn over the last ten years," said Joseph B. Martin, M.D., Ph.D., Dean of the Harvard Faculty of Medicine. "He has been a superb leader while maintaining an extraordinary career in research."
Under Dr. Kahn's leadership, Joslin more than doubled its budget from $45 million to almost $100 million, the research program grew more than 12-fold, and the Center opened its first international affiliate, located in Bahrain, where diabetes impacts more than 25 percent of the population, and another affiliate in Canada.
An internationally recognized diabetes researcher, Dr. Kahn's research over the past three decades has literally defined the field of insulin signal transduction and mechanisms of altered signaling in disease. He also has been a pioneer in studies of obesity and the genetics of type 2 diabetes, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of diabetes and new targets for the treatment and prevention of the disease. He has been the recipient of numerous international awards and chaired a key Congressionally appointed committee that recommended federal diabetes research funding priorities.

Satoshi Itasaka's adorable EVA chair comes in candy colors that every kid will love: pink, baby blue, juicy orange and grassy green. Flat packed for easy storage and shipping, this cheery perch is recyclable, eco-friendly, and easy to assemble. After set-up, the EVA chair forms a Mod-inspired circular chair perfect for stylish little play rooms. The chair's design is reminiscent of animal shapes, with stubby legs that will inspire imaginations and hours of play. Once kids have outgrown the little seats, the entire chair can be recycled, fostering a sustainable lifestyle that begins during childhood!
Each chair is made from non-toxic and flexible plastic, which can withstand horsing around and the usual wear and tear of life in a playroom. The plastic is soft and durable, bouncing back after being stepped-, jumped- or played on.
The flat packed chairs are delivered as a smooth single sheet, which equates to low-energy transport. Kids and adults can work together to fold the pieces into place, snapping the back and base with easy-on-little fingers string. The entire chair back and base are held together with color coordinated pieces of durable string, and secured in place with toggles. No bolts, nails or sharp fasteners are used in the assembly of the EVA chair, so your kids can help fashion their new favorite place to sit.
Still a concept at this juncture, we're hoping these clever chairs make it to production.

Dr. Bob, Can you explain about serosorting and whether or not it's a good idea? Peter
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Peter,
Serosorting involves choosing to have sex only with partners who share your HIV status. It was initially criticized as a type of "viral apartheid." However, over recent years it has become more accepted and even encouraged by some safer-sex advocates and organizations. Online hookup sites can facilitate serosorting by allowing those hunting for sex to disclose their status ("I'm poz, UB2"). This certainly lessens potential disclosure trauma or rejection due to serostatus. What worries me is that many folks don't realize that serosorting is far from foolproof. Obviously some desperate and dishonest folks will outright lie. Others are misinformed, perhaps thinking their "undetectable" viral load means they are HIV negative. Some folks make false assumptions about their status. They've never really been tested but assume they are negative (or positive!) Also, one out of every five HIV-positive Americans has absolutely no idea he is infected with the virus! Finally I worry about the ever dreaded "window period!" HIV-infected folks in the window period are highly infectious but do not yet test positive. Also, I should point out serosorters often think that by serosorting they can forego the use of condoms. However, HIV is certainly not the only illness transmitted by unprotected hoochie-coochie! Gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, genital warts and a whole host of other nasties are out there just waiting for their chance to make your life miserable. STDs can also cause a rise in HIV plasma viral load and drop in CD4 cells. And so if someone wants to serosort, fine, so long as they realize its limitations!
Dr. Bob

Policy Committee Note
Referring to the article which
came out in the April 10 issue
entitled, "I Was a Very Young
Christian," it might clarify mat-ters
somewhat if we know that
it was written as a paper for
the class in creative writing.
When we realize the circum-stances
under which it was
written, we also realize the ten-dency
to "high light" an article
for purposes of effect.
We are sure that each of us
feels the need of growing as
Christians more and more into
the fulness of stature which is
Christ Himself.
And if some of us are more
mature we will want to show
sympathy and helpfulness to
those who may be less exper-ienced
in spiritual matters.

Dear Editor:
May a mere teacher have a word? Maybe I've been looking through
rose-colored glasses for almost thirty years; but I have been under
the impression all the time that I was working with just about the
finest group of young people to be found anywhere in this world,
young people who sincerely love the Lord and seek to do His will.
Oh, I have known some that were not worthy of the name Bethelite
and all it stands for; there have been a few through the years who
have caused us heartache; ,there are always some who are thoughtless,
some who are immature, some who forget too frequently their high
and holy calling, some who have been really disappointing; but I have
never felt this was typical. By far the larger number have been honest,
sincere, spiritual. And my heart has been thrilled many a time in class
when some student has brought to our study of the Scriptures some-thing
I had not seen before; when some student has led us into the
very presence of God in our opening prayer—just this morning my
soul was strangely warmed as one of the lads prayed for wisdom to
interpret His Word aright and grace to do the Holy Spirit's bidding.
Our young people aren't perfect; I am sure each one needs to
"Press on toward perfection"; each one needs to grow in grace and in
the knowledge of Jesus. But, after many years of walking with Him
and honestly seeking to do His will, I confess I still find myself
learning lessons of spiritual grace from my students—God bless them;
and I am sure I have thanked Him a thousand times for the privilege,
the high honor, of working with these young people.
I am not advocating that we pat ourselves on the back and feel
that we have arrived; we need everything we cans get that will "stimu-late
our thinking"; we need to beware that we do not "go through
our daily and weekly ritual" so that our "Christianity becomes mechani-cal
instead of spiritual"; we need to be careful that we are "concerned
about our inward holiness." But one of the great joys in teaching at
Bethel has been to see immature, under-developed Christians when
they first came to Bethel, who have, like their Lord, increased in wis-dom
and stature and in favor with God and man. I covet for each of
us, faculty and students alike, for deeper and richer experiences in
Christ Jesus.
May I suggest, finally, that we find pretty much what we look
for; and if we look for faults, as long as we are human, God knows
there will be plenty of them to find. But when I was a little girl I
learned a poem, the last two lines of which read,
If you bring a smiling visage to the glass, •
You meet a smile.

A man who had grown very
gray and successful was revisiting
the Harvard campus, where he had
once been a student—and the dor-mitory
and the very room he had
occupied. A nephew of his was
now in that room.
The older man pointed out the
"memory marks" on the walls and
furniture. Then he said, "When
I was a student here, the days
and years seemed so long. Now, as
I look back, they seem like 'a
vista of autumn trees' ".
But true it is, that college days
and days of youth fly fast—never
to return. And the high commis-sion
and challenge is to use them
wisely and well.
"If you can fill each unforgiving
With sixty seconds worth of dis-tance
Then you own the world and all
that there is in it—
And, furthermore, you are a man,
my son."
We carry on each day more or
less diligently, and then the ex-aminations
come — and we call
them "tests." But every day is
"judgment day."
Look into the mirror "now" and
behold the person you have made
of yourself as you have incorpor-ated
the ingredients of the good
or the bad. Acts and habits have
become character. Thoughts and
feelings have become—you. "Noth-ing
is lost from the heat thereof."
When we contemplate the al-most
infinite possibilities of life—
the mind and memory, the heart
and will, how we should be about
our Father's business! We are not
here to dream or drift, to dwadle
or to shirk. There is for each of
us constructive endeavor. Nor
should we shun the task, but
thank God—"it is our gift."

One of the weaknesses in most
athletic programs is the absence of
what may be called "carry-over"
sports. By this term we mean
events such as tennis, golf and
swimming which individuals may
participate in after they have fin-ished
high school and collegiate
Most of our athletic endeavors
and finances are aimed at the
team sports which are fine in that
they develop sportsmanship and
team work, but they have little
value in future years.
Basketball, football and baseball
are, for all except the participants,
spectator events and contribute
little to those viewing the con-test.
Team sports are as a rule too
strenuous for people when they
grow older and because of the in-conveniences
of getting a large
enough group together they are
valueless beyond college age for
most individuals.
The result of our recreational
program at present is that most
people get out into life with no
legitimate form of recreation in
which they can find expression
for their pleasure capacity.
14 individuals in our colleges
and high schools were afforded
the opportunities for participation
in golf, tennis, swimming and
other "carry-over" sports they
could develop an interest in an
event that would be a help and
an enjoyment throughout life.
The interest shown in tennis
this spring has been an encourage-ment.
Lets' hope it continues until
it warrants the construction of
tennis courts on campus.

No jokes here. Shooting is an Olympic sport. Target shooting is one of the oldest sports ever (Archery) and was one of the main events of the first ever Olympic games. So please gun haters check your views. I wouldn't kill people unless I'm forced to protect myself or family. I like shooting for sport so no politics crap please.
I'm not so into hunting game but have done so. Never deer because I think deer are just a docile animal that just like to do their own thing and pose no threat of hunting me back. So I don't see the excitement in killing deer except for food. And I've never ate one so I've never killed one either. But I've hunted wild boar and that was crazy. They weigh about 450 lbs. and run at you about 25mph with 8-12 inch long tusks and are ready to rampage you and eat....lol. And sometimes they come in packs. You gotta be fast and accurate. And ya know how some basketball players are clutch and some choke under pressure......well in this sport if you choke you get hurt.....bad.
My fav rifle is my USA made (UT) Vector Arms AK47, equipped with a
fiberglass dragunov sniper rifle stock w/ targeting chin rest (the entire back part that goes against the shoulder)
and recoil pad (rubber on end of stock to help soften the kick of rifle)
tactical quad rail hand guards (above front handle used to mount accessories)
tactical fore grip with laser activation button on side and battery compartment housing (front handle)
red/green laser sight, (detachable, shown above front handle) & 7-18x magnified scope (detachable, not shown)
and internal stabilizer to steady targeting. (inside gun, cant see but it's important. Its the equal to shooting what a basketball player would be to shoe's).
And that's a steel 30 rd. magazine.
I've used this rifle in major competitions and have 4 wins, 9 second place and 6 third place finishes. I have only failed to qualify 1 time and it's because I was deducted points for breaking a rule I had never heard of before. In decent wind conditions (under 25 mph) I can shoot a consistent 4-5" pattern from 150 yards away after I've dialed in my scope and Laser sight.
And my UZI IMI 9mm Baby Eagle/Jericho with extended 40 rd. magazine....this baby can unleash hell.

Cruise ShipsCruise Ships - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
How is sanitation on cruise ships monitored?
Every ship that travels to foreign ports, carries 13 or more passengers and calls on a port in the United States is subject to the Vessel Sanitation Program. This program is monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These vessels are inspected (unannounced) twice a year, and are subject to re-inspection, when necessary.
Inspections focus on:
The ship's water supply (to determine how water is stored, distributed, protected, and disinfected)
The ship's pools and spas (to ensure proper filtration and disinfection)
The ship's food (to determine how food is protected during storage, preparation, and service)
The potential for contamination of food and water (to determine what interventions are needed for surveillance)
The practices and personal hygiene of the ship's staff (to ensure use of appropriate hygienic practices and cleanliness)
The general cleanliness and physical condition of the ship (to ensure cleanliness and the absence of insects and rodents)
The ship's training programs in general environmental and public health practices (to determine the scope and effectiveness of this training)
Ships are given a score based on a 100-point scale. To pass inspection, a ship must score 85 or above. If a ship fails inspection, it will generally be re-inspected within 30 to 45 days.
Please see the Online Resources Section for inspection scores published online, as well as in a publication (often referred to as the "green sheet"), which is distributed to 6,000 travel-related services around the world.
Does a low score mean poor sanitation?
Generally, the lower the score, the lower the level of sanitation. However, a low score does not mean passengers will suffer gastrointestinal problems or other illnesses. Ships are required to maintain a standardized gastrointestinal illness report for each cruise, with the number of cases of illnesses by dates of onset and total numbers of passengers and crew members affected.
If at least two percent or more of the passengers and/or crew members have gastrointestinal illness on a given cruise, the Vessel Sanitation Program may conduct an investigation to determine if an outbreak has occurred.
How prevalent is gastrointestinal illness on cruise ships?
Given the number of persons who enjoy cruises each year, the rate of gastrointestinal illnesses on cruise ships is very low. In the 1970s and early 1980s, there were 12 to 15 outbreaks of diarrheal illness each year on cruise ships. Since then the number of outbreaks has steadily decreased.

A new generation of starting pitchers and a self-proclaimed Mr. Clean of the Steroids Era will be ushered into baseball's Hall of Fame this summer. For tainted players, however, the doors to Cooperstown remain bolted.
Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas were elected on their first ballot appearances Wednesday, when Craig Biggio fell just two votes short.
Maddux and Glavine will join their former Atlanta Braves manager, Bobby Cox, at the July 27 induction along with Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, also elected last month by the expansion-era committee.
But Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and other stars whose accomplishments were muddied by accusations of steroids use lost even more ground, getting less than 40 percent in an election where 75 percent is needed.
And on his first day as a member of baseball's elite, Thomas said the living members among the 306 Hall of Famers don't want those with sullied reputations.
"Over the last year, doing a couple of charity events with Hall of Famers that are in, they've got a strong stance against anyone who's taken steroids. They do not want them in. They don't care when they started or when they did it, they do not want them in," he said. "I've got to take the right stance, too. No, they shouldn't get in. There shouldn't be cheating allowed to get into the Hall of Fame."
Making their second appearances on the ballot, Clemens dropped from 37.6 percent to 35.4 in voting by senior members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Bonds from 36.2 to 34.7 and Sammy Sosa from 12.5 to 7.2.
Bonds, baseball's career home run leader, is the only seven-time MVP in major league history. Clemens is the lone seven-time Cy Young Award winner.
"As for what they did, I don't think any of us will ever really know," Thomas said. "But I can just tell you, what I did was real, and that's why I've got this smile on my face right now because the writers, they definitely got it right."
Mark McGwire, appearing for the eighth time, fell from 16.9 to 11 percent — down from a peak of 25.6 in 2008. Rafael Palmeiro will be dropped from future ballots after falling to 25 votes and 4.4 percent — below the 5 percent threshold necessary to remain eligible. One voter submitted a blank ballot.
Maddux and Glavine become the first primarily starting pitchers to enter the Hall whose careers began after Bert Blyleven, who debuted in 1970. Maddux reached the major leagues in 1986 and Glavine a year later.
They also are the first teammates on a starting rotation to be elected together since 1946. Add in Cox, and the induction will be dominated by Braves.
"It's fitting, given the influence those two guys had on my career," Glavine said. "The thing that would have disappointed me the most had it not happened would have been a lost opportunity to go in with Bobby and Greg."
Maddux, eighth on the career list with 355 wins, was picked on 555 of 571 ballots. His 97.2 percentage was the eighth-highest in the history of voting.
Glavine, a left-hander with 305 wins, appeared on 525 ballots and received 91.9 percent. Thomas, who hit 521 homers and is the first Hall of Famer who spent the majority of his career as a designated hitter, was at 478 votes and 83.7 percent. He spent 16 of his 19 seasons with the Chicago White Sox and all of the 2006 season and part of 2008 with the A's.
Maddux and Glavine will be the first pair of living 300-game winners to be inducted in the same year.
"It's exciting for me to go in with my teammate," Maddux said.
Biggio received 427 votes and 74.8 percent, matching Nellie Fox in 1985 and Pie Traynor in 1947 for the smallest margin to just miss. Traynor made it the following year, and Fox was elected by the old Veterans Committee in 1997.
Biggio, who spent his entire career with the Houston Astros, appeared on 388 ballots last year in his initial appearance — when writers failed to elect anyone — and appears to be on track to gain election next year.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed to come that close," he said in a statement. "I feel for my family, the organization and the fans. Hopefully, next year."
Biggio topped voting at 68 percent last year in his first appearance, when the writers failed to elect anyone for only the second time in four decades.
He finished with 3,060 hits, 1,844 runs, 668 doubles and 414 steals. He set a big league record by getting hit with pitches 285 times.
"I was, like, shocked," Thomas said. "He was one heck of a player. It looks like he's going to get into the Hall of Fame in the future, but yeah, it's got to be a devastating day for him."
Mike Piazza had 62.2 percent, up from 57.8 last year. Jack Morris was 78 votes short at 61.5 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the writers' ballot.
Next year's vote will be even more crowded when Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Carlos Delgado and Gary Sheffield become eligible.
NOT Close …

Look: Going Green with Greengrease
Look: Going Green with Greengrease
You know I had to dig into the new MAC products… at least to get going… for a look! Happy Monday!
P.S. — Santal looks a little pinker on me today than it does usually, because I still had a bit of a CoverGirl lip stain lingering when I put it on!
P.P.S. — Can you believe I actually forgot to apply a highlighter? FOR SHAME!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot (neutral beige base), MAC Greengrease Greasepaint Stick (forest green), MAC Bright Sunshine Eyeshadow (PRO) (sunshine yellow), MAC Lucky Green Eyeshadow (yellowed green), MAC Bio Green Eyeshadow (PRO) (grass green), MAC Bottle Green Eyeshadow (PRO) (forest green), MAC Black Line Pearlglide Eyeliner (black with gold shimmer), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Korres Tinted Moisturizer (Honey)
- Cheeks: Benefit Sugarbomb Blush (peachy-pink)
- Lips: Chanel Santal Rouge Allure Laque (peachy-coral)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: N/A
For eyes, start by applying Soft Ochre paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Apply Greengrease greasepaint stick on the outer half of the lid, blending out with the 217. Using the 239, apply Bright Sunshine eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Lucky Green eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Bio Green eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Lightly blend Atmosphere eyeshadow, with the 239, on the outer corner and lid. Add depth to the crease by applying Bottle Green eyeshadow with the 226 into the outer crease. Lightly tap and brush Bright Sunshine eyeshadow directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Black Line eyeliner on the lower lash line and Lucky Green eyeshadow lightly patted below the lower lash line with the 219 brush. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Sugarbomb blush to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Santal Rouge Allure Laque for a complementing lip.

European Commission - Press release
State Aid: In-depth investigation into Finnish plans to modify investment aid and young farmers start-up support
Brussels, 29 June 2011 - The European Commission has opened a formal investigation under the EU State Aid rules into Finnish plans to modify investment aid and young farmer start-up support provided under existing aid schemes.
The notified measure envisages lowering the minimum interest rate that the recipient of the loan must pay from 2% to 1% for the years 2011 and 2012. According to the Finnish authorities the reduction would be applicable for the new aid to be granted under the existing aid schemes as well as to aid already granted.
The Commission has no objections to this measure concerning the new aid to be granted after approval of the present modification.
However, The Commission has doubts whether the planned retrospective change of conditions (aid already granted) can be considered compatible with EU state aid rules. There the measure seems to lack the necessary incentive element and may constitute operating aid which is simply intended to relieve the beneficiary of a financial burden.
Finnish schemes for investment aid and aid for the setting-up of young farmers have been agreed by the Commission in 2000.
The support for investments in agricultural holdings aims to reduce the production costs, to improve and to redeploy production, to increase quality, to preserve and to improve the natural environment, to comply with animal hygiene and standards as well as to promote the diversification of farm activities.
The young farmers support is granted to primary producers when the following conditions were fulfilled: the farmer was under 40 years of age, the farmer possessed adequate occupational skills and competence, the farmer was setting up on an agricultural holding as a head of the holding for the first time and the farmer submitted a business plan for the development of his/her farming activity.
The full text of the Commission decision will be published in the Official Journal. Finland and other interested parties will be given one month from the date of publication to submit their comments. After this period, the Commission will rule as soon as possible on whether these measures constitute State aid and, as the case may be, on their compatibility with the common market.

A: Blue is always beautiful. It works on every skin tone, it pops, it's vibrant, and it makes you look tanner. I'm seeing a ton of blue this year—and every year, for those reasons. Turquoise and teal are natural picks for swim season. Red is also fabulous on many women, just consider how you tan. If you tend to burn, avoid red. Dark jewel tones like plum, navy and chocolate, and of course Black, are the most slimming swimsuit colors. Pinks can be tough to pull off.
A: After a wearing, rinse as soon as possible to get rid of chemicals or salt water. Then hand-wash with a gentle soap and hang to dry, out of direct sunlight.
A: Swimsuits tend to fit snugly but stretch quickly. If you're between sizes, think about what you'll be doing in the suit. If you're the type who loves to sit poolside and never goes in the water, stick with the bigger size. If you like to swim, go with the smaller size, knowing it's going to give a little after getting wet. Then, don't just stand in front of a mirror.

Shopping for Home Furniture
Trying to buy furniture can be one of the easiest things you ever do or one of the most challenging, depending entirely upon your approach to the actual process. Buying furniture online (from a great resource like Target) you can often find great deals but it helps if you know what you're looking for.
You see, the overwhelming majority of people out there looking to purchase furniture for a new space are going to do one of two things:
- Head on down to their local furniture store and try to find pieces that fit the kind of look and feel thereafter or
- Pop over to IKEA furniture and drop $100 and furnish their entire house with pieces that look exactly like they were bought at IKEA
Now, there isn't exactly anything wrong with either of those approaches (especially if that's something that you're happy with), but if you're looking to do something a bit more involved and to choose furniture pieces that are going to be with you for some time you want to pay attention to the info we break down below.
Outline your design expectations ahead of time
Every single space has its very own design, it's very own personality, and it's very own feel, and you're going to need to understand exactly what you're looking to create in a particular space before you even think about shopping for sofas and tables.
Your design expectations should be outlined well in advance of ever stepping foot in a store that sells furniture, as this is going to be your map that you'll use to guide you through the rest of the process.
Don't just record colors that you're into but also think about texture, lighting, space, and layout to get a real feel for what you should be purchasing. One of our favorite sites that cover everything you'll need for your house is at A+R (aplusrstore)
Sofas, Tables, Chairs and Rugs can always be tied to your Wallpaper, Blinds or existing decor if you think about your requirements first. There's a lot of furniture options so don't worry too much about restricting yourself before you go shopping.
Make sure that you choose furniture that fits a space (in more ways than one)
It is of the utmost importance that you do absolutely everything in your power to choose furniture that fits a space in more ways than one.
Obviously you'll need to be sure that you are purchasing furniture that physically fits in a particular space, but even this can be a bit of a challenge for some. It's not all that difficult to start off with city furniture (perfect for smaller spaces) and before you know it end up with no room to move around because the rest of your furniture is so large.
You also need to make sure that your furniture fits into the overall flow and look that you are after, but that really dovetails into the advice shared above.
Always be on the lookout for interesting pieces you can pick up for a song to complete a room
You are going to find a lot of different places that are willing to sell you great pieces of furniture for next to nothing, and they may not be the most obvious. Canvas On Demand is a great example – they can take a photograph of yours and transform it into an amazing canvas of work. Plus they often have coupons for great savings, so they're well worth keeping in mind for something special.
Table Tops have become a current fashion to try and integrate into your style and there's a massive range of table tops available online.
Yes, IKEA is well worth investigating and so is Canvas On Demand, Overstock, Wayfair, Ashleys Furniture, Pottery Barn and more, but you're also going to want to check out yard sales, tag sales, flea markets, Craigslist, and anywhere else that sells furniture to make sure that you aren't missing out on the perfect piece that brings everything together.
Sure Fit is another company to watch who is the nation's most trusted provider of easily-installed furniture covers, slipcovers, and decorative accessories.
Try to create personalities in a space that reflect who you are or what that space is all about
Lastly, it is definitely going to work in your favor if you are able to create "personalities" in each and every space that you fill with furniture.
This is your chance to choose pieces that tell the world who you are as a person while at the same time grant a personality or utility to a particular space that might not have existed otherwise. It's this kind of foresight that takes an average design and average furniture to entirely new levels.
Speaking of Window Coverings
We love tying our furniture and accessory purchases to our window coverings. Almost everyone has something covering their windows & it can dominate a room so it makes sense to match or try to compliment your window coverings.
If you're in the market for new window coverings we like BlindSaver, Select Blinds, Just Blinds and Blinds.com. Yes that's a lot of choice but you'll be surprised at the amount of options available to purchase online.
All of these reputable companies offer a great range of blinds & curtains. They also make available useful tools that allow you to input your window sizes where you are presented with the various options you can choose from which makes the entire process of buying window coverings simple and easy.
We try to keep an eye out for deals and coupons for BlindSaver, Select Blinds, Just Blinds and Blinds.com so if you're in the market for blinds please check in with us first.


text: Has anybody used (or tried to use) the RHN system as a HPC management tool. I've implemented this successfully in a 100 host environment for a customer of mine, and am in the process of re-architecting an infrastructure with about 150 nodes.. That's about as far as I've gotten with it. Once I get past the cost, the poor documentation, and "OK" support, I'm finding that it's actually a great (though slightly immature) piece of software for the enterprise. The ease of keeping an infrastructure in sync, and tthe lowered workload for sysadmins At 100 nodes, the pricing seems to be about $274/year per node including licensing, entitlements, and the software cost of a RHN server (add another $5k-$7k for a pair of beefy boxes to act as the RHN server.. though as far as I can tell, redhat's specs on the RHN server are far exagerrated.. I could get by with $2500 worth of servers on that end for the environments I've deployed on). So, in the end, $28k/year for an enterprise of 100 servers, in one environment has meant being able to shrink the next year staffing needs by 2 people, and in one by one person, it pays for itself.. We have a 512 node render farm project we're bidding on for a new customer, and I'm wondering how those in the beowulf community who have used RHN satellite server perceive it. So far we're considering LFS and Enfusion, which are both more HPC oriented, but I'm really enjoying RHN as a management system. ---------------- BitPusher, LLC http://www.bitpusher.com/ 1.888.9PUSHER (415) 724.7998 - Mobile

Great stove!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Always starts and cooks food very quickly. I've had it for five years now and it never disappoints! Only downside is the lack of a built in igniter, which I would spend extra money on in retrospect. I've toasted many a bagel on this stove.
Best little stove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using this stove for years without a hiccup. It sounds like a jet engine, but when you need water boiled, this simple stove is it. If your patient you can get it to simmer, sort of, but if thats what your looking for, get a different stove!
Fits in pockets your phone can't fit in
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this stove for the price and size! It is perfect for someone wanting to pack ultralite and or they have minimal space. Besides the sheer size of the stove.. It will get a liter of water to boil within 3 minutes. You can't go wrong with this little guy.
Crux Lite Demo
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This stove is small in size, light, simple, and effective.
I really like that the areas you can touch with your hand are color coded the way that they are, it makes it easy to avoid a hand burn.
The stove stop itself isn't very large, this can be solved by using a smaller pot or keeping a close eye on boiling water.
I got this stove to go with the rest of my collection, and it has been my designated water boiler because it boils water more quickly than my other stoves that I have.
Little beast
Although small, this thing packs a punch. There are more versatile stoves out there but for a simplistic, compact and lightweight option, this guy really shines. It doesn't have a piezo igniter but they don't work well at higher altitudes and will fail eventually over time anyhow. (BIC lighters actually work really well in altitude) Here's what I really like so far.
-Simple design
-Very sturdy feel and construction
-Green Color coded areas let you know what you can touch without getting burned
Cons (not many)
-Small cooking surface (easy to tip the pan over if you're not paying attention)
-Boils water like a champ, not as friendly for cooking and simmering food.
-Doesn't do as well in high altitude/cold temps
It's really quite perfect for what it is intended for. If you are looking for a similar stove with more versatility and features, I would suggest you look at the Optimus Vega. It is a bit larger and heavier but having the ability to invert the canister is a great feature that contributes to greater versatility. When it comes to vital equipment, it's a good idea to have a backup. As the military men would say, "one is none, two is one".
Mighty Mouse
I was a bit nervous when I bought this stove because I honestly didn't think it could handle the demands...boy was I proven wrong.
This little guy is tough, durable, and can boil water in about 2 minutes...if you are in a hurry.
He size is great as I can pack it into either my cup or fuel canister.
Been using a 70/30 butane/propane mix...seems to be working just fine.
Great Stove!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love this stove, it brings a whole new culinary aspect to backpacking. I love how compact and lightweight it is. It is also very user friendly.
The lite model does not fold
Had to send back b/c it does not fold and therefore does not fit under the gas cylinder in my pot.
If you don't need a stove that folds flat then I'll bet you will be very happy with this stove as the folding one is excellent.
Mt. Shasta
Packed up
Smaller packed up than the Jetboil (if using a small canister)
Same size. Using the GSI Outdoor Pinnacle Soloist Cookset
Mighty mite
Blown away by this stove. Boiling water, making oatmeal, or whipping up a desert, this stove can handle everything. From boiling to simmering, it's spot on.
My goal this summer was to go ultralight and this stove was an obvious choice for hitting that objective. It packs away in my cookset. It's absurdly light, but it's bomber. And it's a powerful son of a gun! Fires up every time. Haven't had it in sub zero temperatures, but it was completely fine in high 30s low 40s.
Sure, the jetboil can whip up water about 30 seconds faster than the Crux Lite, but the crux gives you much more variety and manageability when you're cooking. Highly recommend it.
Optimus Crux Lite Stove
Optimus Crux Lite Stove
great stove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
very happy with stove and when I bought it here, it was $27 so a great deal. It boils water fast and very stable.
I have used my stove over 60 times out in the elements. It has not failed me once!!! I would for sure recommend this stove to anyone.
This little guy packs a lot of heat! It's small, not made for putting big pots on there but I've done it (very carefully)! It's great because it's small, light, very strong, and super super portable. I put it inside a backpacking mug and toss it in my bag. If you are car camping I'd recommend something bigger, although I always bring it just for coffee while breakfast is cookin!
Don't try this at home!
I can't really add anything to what's already been said here about the technical details of the stove- boiling times... weight, etc... It obviously compares well to other, similar stoves, and those reviews offer great reasons to consider buying a Crux Lite. But I do have something unique to offer that a potential buyer may want to consider in addition to the other qualities mentioned...
Last week, I stepped on mine.
I weight well over 200 lbs...
Fortunately, I can report that both stove and owner are doing well, and I am now a fan for life of this stove. It is as strong as they come.
Doesn't get any better than this! :o)
Favorite canister stove...
Without question, this is my favorite canister stove. It's light, disperses heat well, extremely compact, has excellent simmering capabilities, and very reasonably priced. I've also owned the MSR Pocket Rocket and in my opinion, there is no comparison. The Crux Lite would have to be the more functional and compact of the two. I expect it will be my go to backpacking stove for years to come.
I will be soloing Mont Blanc soon and I...
I will be soloing Mont Blanc soon and I am in need of a light stove that works at high altitude. Of course I know that a liquid fuel stove will be better but I am hesitant about the weight and the cost. Will this work at 12-14,000 feet? And just as importantly, does anyone know if I can get canisters in chamonix?
I wouldnt worry as much about the altitude as I would about the cold. If you cannot keep the canisters warm then they will not burn efficiently. Canister stove is definitely the way to go just realize that you might have to work to keep it warm. I dont condone this but, I know holding the canister in between your legs helps or developing some kind of cover that could hold some hand warmers on the canister in a pinch.
I see a lot of pictures of the Crux Lite...
I see a lot of pictures of the Crux Lite appears as if some people are using the jet boil/isobutane fuel canisters. The specs specify butane, so.. can you use the isobutane canister with this stove?
Yeah you can use any of the mixes that come in the canisters with lindal valves. So the ones from Optimus, MSR, Jetboil, etc. are all good to go.
Does anyone have the folded dimensions of...
Does anyone have the folded dimensions of this stove? Specifically, I'm wondering what the height is, and the diameter when the arms are folded in. Are the specs listed here with arms open or closed, and is it 3.3" tall or diameter?
I'm looking for a stove that will fit inside my GSI Pinnacle Soloist laid on its side in the hollow between the cup and fuel can.
Edit: I've looked at the regular Crux, but would prefer to avoid a potential failure point of the hinge on the burner (though I admit it is pretty trick) and want to keep this purchase as inexpensive as possible.
This stove does not fold at all. It is lighter than the regular Crux that folds though. The difference is a stove that folds into a smaller space versus a simpler stove that weighs less but has a larger packable footprint.
Why does it say that the boil time on this...
Why does it say that the boil time on this stove is 60 min? Also, the weight is the same as the regular Crux Stove according to the backcountry.com stats?
Since it says 3 min to boil a liter, I'd say they mean how long it will run on one gas bottle.
I believe that's correct- I get about an hour per bottle with mine...
Is this compatible with propane and white...
Is this compatible with propane and white gas fuels?
The Crux Lite stove is compatible only with compressed gas, canisters employing a screw-on, Lindal valve. These canisters can be found most anywhere in the US but are not yet available world-wide. It will not burn white gas.
To answer your question, this stove is not compatible with propane (requires very high pressures resulting in extremely heavy canisters and are fitted with the wrong valve) or white gas. It is compatible with canisters fitted with a Lindal valve as mentioned above, but those use a butane/propane blend (mostly butane.) If you're hoping to use Coleman fuel or those heavy, thick-walled propane bottles, you probably want to buy a different stove.
I wonder if the base can be unscrewed from...
I wonder if the base can be unscrewed from the burner? The Optimus website isn't very clear on this. Does any have one of these or know someone who does?
The burner stem will detach from the base for extensive maintenance but with some effort. In other words this action should, most likely, never become necessary & should never be performed in the field.
They say: "This incredibly lightweight...
They say: "This incredibly lightweight stove folds down... and comes with a stuff sack that fits in the hollow space...."I wonder if they mean the other Crux stove (not "Lite"). Does anyone know?This one looks like "Crux lite"- and does NOT fold down... Check out www.optimus.se
You're absolutely correct. This one does not fold down like it's unique, older sibling but its 21 grams lighter.http://www.optimus.se/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=97
Correct - this is not the folding version of the stove, but it should be noted that this stove still fits inside of both the terra solo and terra weekend pots (also from optimus) along with a a fuel canister. I've used this burner as well as the folding option, they're both awesome, but I prefer a burner with a built in ignition like the brunton raptor.

NTP is great; I've been using it for 15 years. Back then, our HP-UX machines could reliably synchronize local clocks to sub-msec levels using NTP. Our Linux cluster clocks are synchronized to our NTP broadcast head node within about 1-5 msec (estimated based on clockdiff and ntpq data). If you need higher precision, NTP polling can do even better. Although network latency within a cluster can be almost 100 usec, this is repeatable and over long time 10 usec synchronization with the local NTP polling server is feasible. While NTP can adjust local clocks very accurately, Linux system calls which read the clock are another source of timing errors. Although gettimeofday() returns microseconds, this is not always reliable down to the last digit. On the average, you can probably expect 10 usec or better results. For example, on our machines, ntpq reports local clock jitter of 8 usec.

The CLINSEQ® Study is a project that seeks to learn about the role that your genes play in your health. We do this by getting a DNA sample from you, sequencing most or all of your genes, and then comparing that to what we know about your personal and family health histories. We are able to look at genes relating to a variety of health conditions. These include things like heart disease, breast cancer, and hearing loss.
Our goal is to enroll 1500 participants in the project. So far, we have over 900 participants, and we still need more volunteers for the study. Each member of the study has a clinical visit and tests to look at heart health. Study members also give us information on their family and medical histories. Finally, blood samples are taken for routine tests that look for health problems such as diabetes and high cholesterol, as well as for genetic testing. Participants get the results of all their testing (except the genetic tests) about one month after their visit. Study members receive the results of their genetic testing when they are available.
So far, our project team has published several papers and given many lectures on the study. This would not be possible without our participants! To find out more about the CLINSEQ® project, and see if you may be eligible to join, please explore the CLINSEQ® Study web pages.
CLINSEQ® is sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
Note: CLINSEQ® study recruitment will focus on the metropolitan Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas in order to minimize reluctance to participate because of travel limitations.

Learn Arm Waving (LAW) school is for directors, musical leaders, and singers to get a better understanding of that magical form of communication called conducting! Many of us need to get better at directing; all of us need to get better at following our director!
Directing classes are leveled for beginners all the way through experienced front-line directors, with compassionate training and coaching at each level by some of Region 12's best director coaches. There are no tests and you never graduate – it's education at its best, truly learning for lifelong improvement.
Singers who come for the day not only get the fun of singing in a large chorus with new friends from all over the region, but they also observe and learn about how to direct a chorus clearly, expressively, and in a way that gets the best out of the singers. They come home with a much better appreciation for the hard job their director does!
We are currently planning to have two workshops per year, one in the north, and one in the south. Check the regional website and make sure it's on your calendar!
How to enroll in LAW
Enroll online, pick up an enrollment form at one of the Regional Meetings or contact Susan Zarchy, "Dean" of the Region 12 LAW School.

The NK team hit the East Coast, touring in support of its new video, Dysfunctional Family.
Here's Part 1 in case you missed it. Read the story below as written by Sean Reilly and JZ. Peep the slideshow shot by the NK team.
By 1 p.m. we had burned out of Dalton, Georgia, blazing up the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway en route to Flipside Boardshop in Asheville, North Carolina. Halfway into the five hour drive, we pit stopped at the Mountain High Skatepark in Hayesville, NC for a quick sesh. When severe thunderstorms rolled in, Dave Davis was dry enough to grab the wheel, steer clear of several gnarly freeway accidents, and conquer the wettest leg of the drive. (con't below slideshow)
Downtown Asheville had an unexpectedly rad hippy vibe, reminiscent of Boulder, Colorado. We scored some amazing coffee, chilled with locals at the shop and cruised over to the new Grindline park. Krista, Flipside's chief, warned us that the cops are lame and might enforce the helmet law, but we got lucky and the session went off. Everyone skated solid but Adrian's nollie flip into the Euro gap and Kays' backside 360 melon over the entire pyramid shut it down. With a bullhorn in hand, Chris from Flipside emceed the demo like a pro. The crowd was hyped—we threw out mad product and headed straight to the brewery where Flipside styled us out on endless pizza and beer. JZ scoped out a killer roof gap, Reilly no complied off a parking block to a four-foot drop—wasted. Ideally, we would've stayed and hit up the city's Friday night madness with the Flipside crew, but we settled for a 30 pack and hit the road. Around 3 a.m. we grabbed hotel rooms, more beer, and went from buzzin' to straight faded. C-lo kept the party poppin', Davis was wilin' out, getting mad rowdy, wrestling and headbutting Reilly until he got smashed in the nose and the hotel got a carpet full of blood. Davis was still dripping when the cops pounded on the door and we thought we were f—ked, but somehow JZ squashed it and the po-po left! The next day, the manager informed us that we're never allowed back at any Red Roof Inns. We flipped him off and jumped back on the freeway. We were met with more stormy weather before meeting up with Mark at Fred Skates, in Fredericksburg, Virginia a.k.a. Dope Facts City.
Dope fact 1: the world premiere of NK's Dysfunctional Family video took place in this historical town.
Dope fact 2: in 1862, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, "The Battle of Fredericksburg" took place here.
Dope fact 3: more than 350 buildings downtown date back to the 18th and 19th century.
Dope fact 4: if George Washington skated, Fredericksburg would've been his stomping grounds.
Dope fact 5: we purchased actual bullets used in the civil war at the shop next to Fred Skates.
Brandon Smithson, one of the Fred Skates rippers, kicked off the demo with huge stalefish transfers across the six-foot gap between the quarter pipes. Brendan Leung floated across the gap with a sick Japan grab to fakie. Trevor nollie noseslid the rail, Bob Gnarly bluntslid it, JZ blunted the twelve-foot extension and Adrian laced the sketchy flat bar with endless steezed out tricks. Reilly filmed and Davis kept the spectators and mothers entertained.
Apparently the park is supposed to be shut down at 7 p.m. The cops were upset and locked the gates so no one could leave! Mark explained to the cops that Natural Koncept was in town from Hawaii and they opened it up. We jetted back to the shop and drank beers and chilled. It was time to make a move so we hit up Wawa's for more beer and took the party to Mark's crib, scoped the Fred Skates video, got faded and crashed.
Grubbed an early breakfast at the crib and headed over to a skate camp 20 minutes away to sesh with the groms before driving to Pittsburgh for a shop signing. The drive took nearly six hours giving Reilly plenty of time to get sh-t-faced and puke all over himself in the van. We arrived at Head Boardshop a little late, but the groms were waiting and we tossed out free boards, T's, and videos for tricks. One of the MILFs kept buying rounds of drinks for us at the bar next to the shop and even tossed a few colonopins and oxycodones to Reilly. Party moms—gotta love 'em. It was raining so Shawn, the manager at Head Boardshop, took us to a covered treasureland spot! Gnarly nose grinded off a ledge into the tight bank and frontside pop shoved the hip perfectly. Trevor did a switch 5-0 to fakie, Brendan back tail fakied it, and Davis Muska flipped to face bounce. The footage looks sick with lightning in the background. We ate dinner at a chain restaurant/gas station called Sheetz—haha.
Drove late into the night drinking, smoking, and playin' c-lo. Kays comes up big. Grabbed a hotel and Davis and Trevor cooked up a Tabasco fire next to the sleeping Reilly. They woke him up screaming, "Get out, there's a fire!" Reilly had to lock himself in the bathroom to get sleep that night.
Woke up to the owner of the hotel giving us a five minute warning before calling the cops. Adrian drove the last 100 miles to Nieratko's skate shop in Sayreville, New Jersey. Steve, co-owner of NJ, hooked us up with some beer and food. We scoped the new TransWorld video, And Now, and then hit up the park for a session with the locals, who were mad cool and ripped.
We returned to New York City at midnight. JZ took the crew to a killer loft party with more hotties than we had encountered the entire tour. Everyone split up as the night moved on with the intention of meeting at the van by 11a.m. for our last demo in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Surprisingly, by 1p.m. we were driving through the Holland Tunnel en route to Akosm Skateshop, just 20 minutes from New York City. We arrived to launch ramps and flat bars set up in the street that was barricaded off by the police for the skate jam! A big shout out to Jeff, the owner of Akosm, for making this day pop off hard! It was rad—beers, bbq, crab cakes, and blunts wrapped up the day.
We spent the evening in NYC chillin' out at Lo's apartment in the L.E.S. neighborhood. Brendan pulled a switch drop in on a steep bank on the rooftop at sunset—it was somewhat frightening to watch but got us amped to jump back in the van and street skate NYC 'til 6 a.m. Everyone flew out the next day except Chris Kays, who's notorious for extending his trips to NYC, last time it was two months, this time just two weeks.
A big shout out to the entire NK crew for representin' hard on this trip!—Sean Reilly and JZ

I brought two lots of lavender, one for the back gate and the other for the front of the house near the cable access point. Lavender was planted April 2011.
Its only small lavender plants, I did that because from my experience it will grow to be huge!!! Lets wait and see.
Dead again.
Unfortunatly the new lot has all died too. I dont seem to have much luck with Lavender.
Other than smelling good Lavender is in theory quite predictable and so im hoping it will grow to quite a size in both its current locations. I have yet to plant the lavender plant in the front garden.
Not that I have ever really been convinced that you can do anything with lavender. They say you can make tea out of it? But its not simple like picking a berry from a tree and eating it.
Well, after 4 months both specimens had dies, but fear not I brought some more!!! lol, its bigger stuff as well... Im pretty sure that if I can get this to get a start it will be quite resiliant. I have some in England it its crazy, you cant stop it. I like the smell.
