Markets and Dichotomies
By Euromonitor International
Posted: September 19, 2007
The largest regional personal care markets, Western Europe and North America, with 2006 sales of $27 billion and $19.6 billion respectively, are plagued with low growth rates, each with less than 15% value growth between 2001 and 2006. Consumers in these markets are far more willing to economize on personal care than they are on cosmetics products, trusting that the quality of even cheap brands is of a high enough level to deliver basic hygiene—meaning that price competition is fierce between toiletries, brand loyalty is low and private label is a greater threat within these sectors. This is further exacerbated by the retail distribution of personal care in Western Europe and North America, which is dominated by price-cutting retailers such as supermarkets and discounters; in Western Europe, almost 50% of all toiletries are sold through these channels. It is therefore not surprising that encouraging consumers to trade up is central to the strategy of personal care brands in the more mature markets.
The most successful means of achieving this is through the provision of added functionality and convenience with the inclusion of cosmetic benefits—including added skin care properties, antiaging and exfoliating. The challenge that faces most toiletry manufacturers is that private label looms close behind, offering increasingly sophisticated alternatives at lower prices. U.K. supermarket chain Tesco, for example, launched an organic personal care line with approximately 40 products in February 2007, and Asda and Waitrose have now followed suit.
Emerging Sectors Booming in LA and Eastern Europe
Latin America—with double-digit compound annual growth rates across all toiletries sectors during 2001–2006 and value growth of 73.4% across the same period—is the fastest moving region for personal care products. Eastern Europe, with average annual growth rates of 9.9% and gains of $2.5 billion since 2001, is not far behind. Going forward, growth is set to be driven by underdeveloped sectors—including sun care, baby care and men's grooming—in both regional markets.
Manufacturers will be pivotal in maximizing the potential that exists in these categories, and there will be a need for them to take on the role of educator and explain the uses and benefits of these products. In Brazil, for example, Beiersdorf's Nivea brand sponsored campaigns on skin cancer prevention in schools and other institutions in 2006, an effort that included a play showing the importance of using sun protection products regularly. A similar strategy was employed by Russian player Nevskaya Kosmetika to drive growth in baby care; in October 2006 the company implemented a campaign in support of its Ushasty Nian brand in 87 medical establishments in 13 Russian cities, offering baby skin care training for mothers and mothers-to-be.
Bath and Shower Proves a Drain on Personal Care
With global sales of $23.6 billion, the bath and shower products category is among the largest in personal care. However, with average annual growth rates of 3.5%, it is the least dynamic sector in cosmetics and toiletries. In Western Europe and North America, manufacturers seem to have reached a dead end, with maturity of bath and shower products in these developed economies leaving little room for volume growth. In addition, increased competition puts pressure on prices, thus limiting opportunities for value gains. North America, in particular, has been struggling with 0% growth each year since 2001.
Segmentation is one of the key trends driving the sector, with more products designed specifically for women, men, children and seniors. New spins on this include targeting athletic and active lifestyle consumers with convenience formats and strong-acting, refreshing formulations. Examples include Liz Sport Shower Gel (Liz Claiborne) for women and Physio Sport Shower Gel, which moisturizes and uses aromatherapy ingredients to soothe sore muscles. Cleansing is still the primary purpose of bath and shower products, but enhancing mood and offering a holistic, pampering experience have also become key. Spa and aromatherapy claims have, therefore, become commonplace, and textures and formulations are more fragrant, thicker and more luxurious. The at-home spa trend also offers opportunities for segmentation, with products distinguished by their influence on mood. Despite this trend, however, consumers still prefer the convenience of showering, and bath additives are on the decline at the global level.
A look at less-developed markets, in contrast, highlights the different strategies that need to be employed. India's bath and shower penetration is among the lowest in the world, with spend less than $2 per capita in 2006, and value growth there is being driven by bar soap. Manufacturers are dropping pack sizes to reduce unit prices and place products within reach of the country's less affluent majority. There is also a push to widen penetration to India's rural poor. Unilever's Swasthva Chetna ("health-awakening"), launched in partnership with the Indian government, covers about 18,000 villages in eight states to reach 70 million rural dwellers and teach the importance of hand washing. In the country's more affluent western states, body wash/shower gel is beginning to find demand, although in the country, as a whole, it remains nascent, with sales of just $9 million, or less than 1% of total bath and shower products sales.

Those are the caterpillar for the black swallowtail butterfly. Don't hurt them, the butterflies are beautiful! |
Haha.. they also love your garden veggies, especially parsley an dills. Butterflies have an ugly past. |
As mentioned, black swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. They love dill and fennel... also carrots and parsley I think. Lots of people grow fennel just to give these guys a host plant. |
I grow rue to give them a host plant. But rue needs to be FAR away from basil, and it needs poor soils and to be kept dry. Any dill, fennel, basil etc, is planted on the other side of the house. The rue is usually eaten down every year to the nubs by this caterpillar, and grows back like clockwork. |

Baths, why far from basil? |
I have first instars on my fernleaf dill and fennel. The dill is small, so I'm keeping an eye on it and will move them if they get too destructive. I was going to pull the fennel. It's a zefo fino that just refuses to bulb up. It's not bolting, but it's not fattening at the base, no matter how much dirt I push against it. So I figure now I'll leave it for these caterpillars, pull it once they're gone. Maybe it'll form a bulb by then, LOL. |
Yes it is the caterpillar of the black swallowtail. Wild carrot (Queen Anne's Lace) and wild parsnip are other alternate host plants and easier to grow than rue. In fact they are weeds. Unfortunately, . the alternate host plants seem to be just that - alternates. The butterflies apparently much prefer to lay their eggs on carrots and Florence fennel and on cultivated herbs like parsley and dill. One cultivated host that really seems to draw them in is bronze-leaf fennel. It's also a pretty rank perennial grower once it is established, so you don't have to worry much about the caterpillars causing permanent problems. |

Rolls-Royce provides a range of equipment specifically for submarines. Dedicated teams deliver the nuclear systems and support for the Royal Navy's submarine flotilla, while others are developing a growing range of non-nuclear systems and services for international markets.
Rolls-Royce provide high-integrity designs for flexible couplings used in high-pressure areas tailor-made for naval applications where noise attenuation and shock resistance are required.
The British Naval programme has seen five new core designs pass from concept into manufacture at Rolls-Royce. Three core designs were developed for the basic PWR1 plant with two further designs developed for the larger PWR2 plant.
In developing a world-leading propulsor design for Astute class submarines, Rolls-Royce used considerable technical pull-through from its marine and gas turbine technology to develop the structural design, ILS and safety support.
Rolls-Royce turbo-generators efficiently convert steam energy to electricity and have been installed on all UK nuclear submarines and a number of surface ships.

The genuine Wehrmacht Jerrycans are a pleasure to use, but transporting Jerrycans on our recreational 4x4 vehicles has traditionally posed some problems. Jerrycans are quite heavy when filled and must be secured. Most people resort to ratchet strapping their Jerrycans to their roof rack's flooring. This system works well enough, but is unsightly and makes using the Jerrycans inconvenient. Now there is a better way.
The Expeditionware Single Jerrycan Holder securely holds one 20-liter Wedco Jerrycan and does so in a manner that is as elegant as it is effective. The Single Jerrycan Holder possess several design features that make it very convenient to use. We opine that this holder is easily the nicest of the current Jerrycan holder designs. Compare our design to the swiss cheese Jerrycan holders out there and there is no comparison.
At the bottom of the Single Holders is the basket. The entire basket is constructed from only three pieces of steel. One of those three pieces is the hinge bar and the second is the loop for the locking clasp. Otherwise, the entire basket is cut from a single sheet of steel that resembles a Maltese cross and formed into shape and welded together. With minimal parts and minimal welds, there is less to go wrong on this basket.
Unlike other Jerrycan holders, our Jerrycan Holder features a basket that is very short in height. Our basket is only 2" tall. We kept the basket height very short so that basket would be low profile when the Holder is not in use and the Jerrycan and top clamp are removed. Do not, however, think the basket does not secure the Jerrycan well. It does.
The basket features angled walls. These angled walls match the octagonal profile of the Jerrycans.
The angled walls of the basket and the top clamp securely hold onto a single 20L Jerrycan.
When hinged closed, the straps on the top clamp fit tightly against the sides of the Jerrycans.
The top clamp features two angled hooks to prevent the Jerrycan from possibly squirting out on a hard impact.
When the Jerrycan Holder's top clamp is hinged closed and locked into place, the 20L Wedco Jerrycan is held securely on top, bottom, front, back, and sides. There is flat-to-flat contact on multiple sides of the Jerrycan.
The Jerrycan Holder's top clamp is offset so as to cover the spout on the Wedco Jerrycan. With the top clamp in place, it is impossible for the Jerrycan's spout to loosen accidentally.
The Jerrycan Holder's top clamp is secured with a steel clasp with a loop that accommodates a padlock if you desire extra security.
When you are not on a trip and don't want to haul around Jerrycans, simply hinge open the top clamp, remove the Jerrycan, and then remove the top clamp. You will be left with only a low-profile basket or baskets on your roof rack. The low profile of the baskets will minimize wind noise on your vehicle, and you won't have some unsightly empty basket or baskets sitting atop your vehicle.
The basket is shorter in height than the basket on most roof racks.

the hike | The Bell Trail is located in the Wet Beaver Wilderness area about 15 miles from downtown Sedona, just off the I-17 Freeway. For the most part, the trail follows a route along a bench well above Wet Beaver Creek. A number of side trails, however, lead down to the waterside. The trail was built by a cattle rancher named Earl Bell in 1932, as a means for taking his cattle to the top of the Mogollon Rim in the spring. We will hike the first 3.5 miles of the trail to Bell Crossing, where the trail crosses the creek, and then we will return the way we came. The water may be a bit chilly by then, but you are welcome to dip your toes in (or more, depending on the weather and your chill tolerance!). |

I installed a bed of roughly 100 sure crop strawberries (they're June bearers) last october. They over wintered well and are starting to grow, but with the unseasonably warm temps we have been having, they have started to put out buds. The plants are still rather small and I think I should pinch off the flowers until they grow out a few more weeks. Should I just leave them be? Will they flower again this season if I do pinch them? I would like to see some what of a crop this year, though I know there production will be better in theory next year.... Any thoughts appreciated. :) |

You planted too late last year and didn't get enough "Daughter" plants formed from that intended planting. You could pinch off the blossoms but that will mean you get no crop this year rather than delay the crop a few weeks. I'd base my decision on what other things you have done. Did you mulch the bed? Have you planted those plants close enough that runner formation is a lesser issue? In either case you will have a smaller yield that next year but you have many choices. I'd tend to harvest the "Firstfruits" and then if the crop doesn't look real promising snap off all the remaining green fruit and blossoms and stimulate earlier runner development for the remainder of the summer/fall. |
bmoser, thanks for the reply. I did plant them closely... they are in a sfg with 4 per square. So, runner formation is prob not an issue. After planting, I let them take root and grow for about a month, then mulched them over for the winter. I removed the mulch about a month and a half ago as we have had a very mild winter and spring. I was thinking I would just let them set fruit and see what I get, I just dont want to ruin,any potential for a nice big crop next season... Thanks again! |
bump... any other thoughts? |
Id leave them alone.. Mine have are flowering nicely. |
- Posted by naturegirl_2007 5b SW Michigan (My Page) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 4:24
Leave the buds and flowers and provide frost protection if cold temperatures come. Removing flowers now will remove this year's crop. June bearers will not kick in with more flowers a few weeks later. |
- Posted by jtillerman none (My Page) on Sat, Apr 14, 12 at 22:50
I have several hundred plants I started several years ago. I never picked off blooms but got almost nothing the first year but the second year was awesome. As far as fall planting it has been my experience that spring is the best way to establish a nice bed for year 2 . Good luck your second year will make it all seem worth it. |

For me, an enduring frustration of traditional journalism is that what training you do get centers on the imperative to discount and dismiss your own experiences in pursuit of some objective ideal, even as journalism simultaneously exposes you to an unusually large variety of experiences. The idea that it might be a good thing to attempt to apply insights gleaned from those experiences to future stories—let alone synthesize it all into any sort of coherent narrative—rarely comes up, unless you're a columnist. This can be an especially torturous dilemma during the inevitable low point at which the journalist—this one, anyway—comes to believe that the only feasible course of action (given the state of journalism) is to secure a six-figure book deal, and commences filling her off-hours in a feeble attempt to "write what you know." I know a lot of things, taunts the endless negative feedback loop, but none of them is how to make six figures.
With my journalistic redemption under way, and finding that redemption alone doesn't necessarily pay the rent, I started a book proposal about something I termed "The Nothing-Based Economy." The argument was pretty simple: the American economy had become so enthralled with the endless cultivation and expansion of demand that it had become totally divorced from the reality of need. This was not an inevitability that Marx and Mao and the movie Idiocracyhadn't grappled with already, but I was just a journalist and those were just the facts. Drug companies founded to cure diseases had a duty to shareholders to never cure anything so long as tens of millions of Americans reliably spent hundreds of dollars a month on the nebulous array of chronic maladies pharmaceutical companies had invented to treat. Bankers who still (incredibly) claimed to facilitate "efficient allocation of capital" were in actuality beholden to the trading-desk arbitrageurs who couldn't make money unless their corporate finance departments concocted a steady stream of "innovations" by which to render markets more inefficient. Every last function of government was being outsourced to some contractor with the fiduciary obligation to ensure that taxpayers wasted as much money as possible.
Abercrombie and LeBron James and AOL informed this observation, as had some stories I'd written for Philadelphia magazine: the year I spent shadowing a Wharton MBA class, for instance, on its punishing schedule of leadership classes and campfire retreats and networking events that seemed deliberately designed to impart no ideas, hone no skills, and prepare the students for nothing beyond spending an inordinate amount of time in the company of people very similar to themselves; or the investigation into Donald Trump's resurgence as a "virtual developer" who licensed his name to the sort of luxury-condo projects where the deeds would change hands five times before the thing was even built.
This was all well and good, at least as underlying theories went, but of the fourteen distinct genera of profitable nonfiction books my agent had identified in his many years of sales analysis, he said my idea sounded most like an "I'm Right And You're Totally Wrong" book. The appeal of such a book rests on the author having achieved a degree of personal-brand credibility, and since neither of us could remember a blurb along the lines of "regional magazine staffer calls bullshit on the American economy" following an entry on The New York Times best-seller list, I complied when my agent suggested I pursue instead an "exposé," in which the author "draws on inside knowledge"—possibly acquired "as a reporter willing to live through a terrible experience"—to "regale us with stories about how much more awful things are than they appear on the surface."
So in 2006, I took a job at American Apparel. You are probably aware that American Apparel had (and has) two primary reasons for notoriety: that it actually manufactures (in downtown Los Angeles, no less) the clothes it sells, and that its controversial founder and CEO, Dov Charney, decided to open hundreds of conspicuously located urban stores at the peak of the real-estate bubble, and staff them mostly with a revolving cast of underage-looking girls who were willing to work management-consultant hours for $9 an hour and a shot at being invited to pose for one of the trademark semipornographic employee photo shoots the company uses to advertise, if not its clothes, its "brand."
American Apparel seemed to me a tweaked-out metaphor for the country itself, the way it had strategically shifted the hero of its exceptionalism narrative from its factory to its cast of disposable young people who are endowed with little besides their looks and the desire to broadcast their youthful insouciance to a wider audience.

Let's stick with the new thread for status updates, general chit chat and news on your seeds heading home to you!
Here's where the swap stood last week when we were still waiting on about 6 more packages: |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Fri, Dec 9, 11 at 21:20
I'm still waiting on two packages, I've emailed the members. I went ahead and input everyone's SENT list and WISH lists so I can cross-reference them. If you did NOT send me a wish list, PLEASE make sure that your GW page shows some wishes so that I can be sure you receive something you'll be happy with! I'm very proud of all of you. So many people sent in extra seeds and a couple of you sent in some postage (which was greatly needed because the newbies are definitely going to be getting larger packages than what they sent in!) If any others want to contribute a few extra stamps that may be leftover from what you mailed in, please let me know. I won't do it w/ out your permission. I think everyone is going to be very pleased with the selections. There's something nice for everyone and so many kind gifts that were sent in! Both for myself and for the other members here in this swap!! I'm really touched by everyone's thoughtfulness.. tho I suppose I shouldn't be.. we ARE all gardeners and sharing is one of the things that we do best! :) Here's the BIG tub of seeds I'll be sorting this weekend! Thanks! |
- Posted by onedaylily 6 Central Ohio (My Page) on Sat, Dec 10, 11 at 6:36
Ooohhhh, I'm so excited! Have fun sorting! Margie |
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 9:40
Does anyone want to take a guess at how many seeds were sent in for the swap this year? I'll offer you a bonus seed package of 3 varieties (hopefully from your wish list!) for the closest guess! *HINT* It's over 500.... Guess away! |
- Posted by apoppyfield (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 14:29
850 seed packs |
Hmm.... roughly 40 people, figure maybe 15 to 25 seed packs each on average... so 950. |
If the extras bag is included with the total amount, and that's what I see in the back... I'm probably going to guess too much, but I have to say... 1520. |
I'm going to guess 1221. I love the number and it was my grandma's birthday. |
Wendy, If I sent any extra stamps, feel free to use them however you need to. If you need help with some extra money/postage, let me know. Martha |
- Posted by caroleapony 6b MD/DC/VA (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 22:57
I'll guess 1030 And ditto on extra stamps = use them as you want. |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 5b-6a Indiana (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 23:02
WOW! That's a lot of seeds! Umm...I might be on the high side...but I'll say 1985 seed packets total. Is this going to be like to Price is Right...if we go over are we out of the game? |
- Posted by sandysgardens 4MN (My Page) on Thu, Dec 15, 11 at 7:59
My guestimate is 2011 |
- Posted by hibiscusfan zone 5 N.W. Oh. (My Page) on Fri, Dec 16, 11 at 8:55
My guess is 2002 |
I gues 2326 |
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Fri, Dec 16, 11 at 22:44
Great guesses everyone! Keep 'em coming. I'll take guesses up until 12/23 at midnight. The prize will be mailed to you after Christmas! 1/2 of the swap packages went out in the mail today. I had hoped to do them all but had to leave and take my son to the ER this afternoon. He was having sharp pains in his chest area. Everything seems ok, he has to go back again next week for another xray.. Sooo the remaining 1/2 will go out tomorrow. I just hope the usps manages to get them delivered in time for the solstice!!! Thanks to you all, you did a WONDERFUL job and made my job pretty easy with the wish lists and gifts to eachother! I hope everyone is very pleased with the selections you receive I tried really hard to make sure everyone had items from their wish lists or at least as close to the items as I could find. I dipped into my own stashes more than once to share a bit of something special, and those of you that sent in REALLY rare seeds might have had the packet divided up among several members requesting that seed. I figured you'd all be happy even with just a smaller amount of something you really want than only one member receiving it. :) I'll send out more updates soon. Please drop by and let me know when your packages have arrived! Thanks, it's been a pleasure! |
Wendy, I am sure you did a fabulous job. How do you get such a short turnaround time? - I never could pull that off as a swap host. Hope all is okay with your son; "having chest pains, Mom" are not words a mother wants to hear. |
Yikes, hope everything is ok with your son... You are doing a great job with keeping us all updated (and excited!).... My guess would be 1100. |
- Posted by snapdragon36 5ny (My Page) on Sun, Dec 18, 11 at 21:19
Wow wendy you have been busy!!! Hope everything is alright with your son. My guess 1285. |
I hope everything turns out ok with your son, Wendy! How'd you sort through all those packets so fast?! What's your trick? I try sorting into different groups and then small piles (perennials: shade perennials - sun perennials, etc) but I somehow manage to get everything mixed up and forgetting what I have in the end. I'm almost ready for the solstice! Grabbed some MG yesterday, but I found a Fafard retailer nearby. And the best thing? I thought Fafard mixes were expensive in comparison, but this nursery is selling for $5.99/2.8cu ft bag (I know... I better call to double check before I go up there to get some tomorrow). The problem... is that they only have the 1P mix and I'm worried about the wetting agent in it causing the soil to be too moist. But I guess MG has wetting agents too and lots use that, so idk... I wish I could find the coir mixes. What does everyone else use? Thanks for hosting this swap, Wendy! |
My guess is 1348. Can't wait to get seeds in my mailbox! Thanks Wendy! |
- Posted by roper2008 virginia 7a-8 (email@example.com) on Mon, Dec 19, 11 at 12:06
Jeff, it's very expensive in Virginia Beach. Fafard's potting mix is 14.99 for that large bag at Mcdonald's nurseries. The Fafards seed starting mix is 16.99 for large bag. |
I called the Virginia Beach nursery to compare the prices and double check. Turns out I was told the wrong price at the Chesapeake location. Good thing I called before going out there. Ah well, should've known it was too good to be true. |
I can't wait! It will be the best present! Thank you Wendy! Thank you everyone! How is your son Wendy? |
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Tue, Dec 20, 11 at 9:57
Good morning everyone!! My son is doing much better, now, thank you for asking! He's on strong antibiotics... it was a collaboration of screaming tonsils and bronchitis but after another dr's visit yesterday we seem to have it under control. A few have asked how did I sort and send so quickly? Well... My biggest goal was to TRY to get packages back to everyone by the Solstice for those of you that wanted to honor that planting date. But with extending the deadline and packages not arriving til later that put a bit of a deadline looming in my head..lol. So I just put on a big pot of coffee... turned on some music and did 2 days and nights of nonstop seed sorting with a few hour power naps in between. I started out by putting all the seeds into a rubbermaid and then sorting then alphabetically. Then I entered the entire amount into an excel spreadsheet so if someone says I'd like armeria.. I could just go to the spreadsheet and say ok, someone sent that in and I'd go pull it. So I would mark that one taken and each of you had your own individual spreadsheets of what you sent in, your wish lists and a 'sent' list so that I could cross-reference everything. It sounds like a lot.. but I love data entry and spreadsheets from my days in Administrative positions so for me it was actually enjoyable..lol. :) I don't know how the usps will deliver the packages being so close to Christmas but all I can say is that everyone's pkgs have been in the mail a few days now so HOPEFULLY they will all arrive before Christmas at least. I might make a few changes to deadlines next year tho, I'm thinkin'.. As far as swap winners, I need to make some announcements regarding the various games: For the "Get to Know your Fellow Swappers Game"(previous thread): 'Onedaylily' was the winner and she won the following tomato goodies: For the "Word Find Game": For the "How MANY Packs of Seed Game": Thanks to everyone that participated. I will be offering up newbie packs in January of the leftovers, as well as offering some up to the wintersown project. I hope everyone enjoys their selections and don't forget~ please post here when your package arrives!! ~Wendy / sassyb. |

- Posted by Indiana.Matt 5b-6a Indiana (My Page) on Tue, Dec 20, 11 at 22:15
How exciting! I won! Can't wait to get all my seeds. I checked the mail box today with great anticipation, but nothing yet. Merry Christmas to all! Thanks again Windy, |
1826 packets of seeds, that is amazing! Wendy, you are amazing! Thank you for being such a great swap mistress. Oh dear, that is probably not the right term but anyway, thanks..... |
Whistle, whistle, clap, clap! Well done, Wendy! Now sit back and enjoy that eggnog! |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 5b-6a Indiana (My Page) on Wed, Dec 21, 11 at 16:13
I got my seeds today! And what a package of seeds it is! Thanks Wendy! Matthew |
A dreary, rainy day here, but the slog to the mailbox was rewarded by a beautifully abundant package of seeds! And not only seeds, but a Christmas card from Wendy too! You are amazing. Thanks so much to you and the sweet people who sent gift seeds to me as well (pumpkingal and onedaylily, thank you!). Merry Christmas and happy sowing, everyone! |
- Posted by caroleapony 6b MD/DC/VA (My Page) on Wed, Dec 21, 11 at 18:36
Wendy, thank you, thank you, thank you. Seeds arrived and I have done a quick once through and will spend the rest of the night playing and planning. Thanks also for the kind gifts of onedaylily and pumpkingal. Wendy you have really filled my wish list!! Wishing you and your family a Merry and Healthy Christmas and New Year in 2012. Donna |
The Advent candles are lit. I have a cup of Whittard of Chelsea black tea (sent by my daughter from the UK). I have done my spiritual reading (daily Bible readings, and daily reading from The Celtic Spirit by Caitlin Mathews). A lovely, thoughtfully chosen package of seeds arrived on this Winter Solstice evening. At this time, this moment, life is perfect. Thank you, Wendy, and my fellow swappers. You are all wonderful. Happy first day of Chanukah, blessed Solstice, and a merry Christmas to all. |
- Posted by onedaylily 6 Central Ohio (My Page) on Wed, Dec 21, 11 at 21:29
Yea! Just in time for solstice. Received a terrific selection of seeds today - Wendy, you did an awesome job. Thanks to everyone for generously sharing your seeds and a special thank you to pumpkingal, snapdragon36 and molanic for the thoughtful gifts. Merry Christmas to everyone and a very happy new year in the garden! Margie |
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Wed, Dec 21, 11 at 23:14
I'm so happy to see that some actually made it before the solstice! :) I'm also relieved you are each pleased with your selections.. I was hoping! lol Thanks so much for joining in the swap this year! I really enjoyed being the hostess for you. :) ~Wendy / sassyb. |
The package arrived today. Just finished browsing through it, and I've got to say that I am very happy! Almost everything was from my wish list, and those that weren't were plants or varieties unfamiliar to me that I can't wait to try. Thank you for the card, Wendy! And thank you to those who sent gifts! What a surprise when I saw those packages were addressed to me! Thank you all very very much. Today went from wet and dreary to [still wet but] joyous. So many varieties, so neatly packaged. Thank you everyone for sharing your seeds. My first year of winter sowing is going to be a blast! Happy Holidays and Winter Sowing (keep warm!), |
- Posted by apoppyfield 8 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 22, 11 at 6:22
I got my huge package of seeds today and I am so amazed and overwhelmed. Amazed at how Wendy was able to juggle this whole thing, and overwhelmed by what to do next. Thanks for all the special gifts, it was truly unexpected and I can say that my seed wishlist has been fulfilled and exceeded. Getting the seeds is the easy part, getting them growing with a place to put them... not so easy. I finished 3 WS containers yesterday and not so sure what to plant next. Cut my finger in the process...ouch! Maybe some grasses or perenial flowers. Whatever, I'll have to come up with some more containers quick-like, maybe Starbucks will hook me up. Thank goodness I have a yard of topsoil to use if I run out of starter mix!! Thanks everyone.. you made my day. |
Thank you thank you thank you to everyone, and especially to Wendy and those who sent along the special gifts! This is my first swap, and I'm so impressed with how neatly packaged things were and how smoothly it ran, thanks no doubt to Wendy. I can't wait to get to planting! I think I need more milk jugs.... |
- Posted by lightning96 4b (My Page) on Thu, Dec 22, 11 at 15:09
WOW WOW WOW! I am just amazed by the package I just received in the mail! This is my first year participating, and I feel like I've just been blown out of the water :) So many seeds for flowers I've always wanted to grow. As I looked through seed after seed, my jaw dropped with the abundance... THANK YOU to all of you wonderful gardeners! I also feel determined to do an even better job next year, gifting items to people and sending in lots of seeds. What a joy to receive this package, it does seem like Christmas today! And a huge thanks to Wendy, I can't imagine how you sorted so many seeds and read through so many wish lists! Thanks everyone for a great winterswap. Happy planting! |
Of all the Xmas events...concerts, parades, Nutcracker, band concert, church program, tv shows, Arthur movie, parties, The Grinch movie, buying presents...this is so personal and fun. We're all sharing what's close to our hearts and lives and we spread cheer and joy. You're all encouragers in a tough world. You're living your faith and I have found this in the strangest places this Christmas season. Thanks for reflecting real love. I haven't received my seeds yet and that's okay. Just living on anticipation is intoxicating some days. Heidi |
- Posted by pumkingal 5 (email@example.com) on Thu, Dec 22, 11 at 16:27
Wow;; yes I got my wonderful big bag of seeds,, Wendy thank you so very much for all of this,,and your cute card too,,,Thank you for my surprise gifts,,sinbadsmom,, wow how did ya know,,love um all thank you...I got alot of great seeds,, let the planting begin,,thank you all,, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL,,,Lisa elf |
I got my package today too and was shocked. From the seeds I received... this was more like the wishlist swap than just a wintersowing swap! Usually in a non-wishlist swap like this, more than half the seeds I get back I either already have or can't grow in my zone. Not this time! I'm keeping almost all these seeds to grow myself. I even got some that I was planning on ordering because I never thought I would get them in a swap. Now I don't even have to place the order. Truly a great swap. You did an amazing job Wendy. Thanks to all the swap participants and gift-givers. You all are great and made my day. Happy Holidays to everyone. |

Received my beautiful package today. Eeeeeek!!!! I'm so excited. Thank you for hosting this, Wendy, truly amazing! |
Seeds arrived today and I did the happy dance all the way in from the mailbox! Christmas may be a few dys away but I feel like I've already received so many gifts! You did a great job with the swap Wendy, thank you. Nancy |
- Posted by snapdragon36 5ny (My Page) on Thu, Dec 22, 11 at 22:23
My seeds arrived today. Wow thank you Wendy for such a great selection so many that I was wishing for great job. thanks to everyone who shared thier seeds. Special thanks to you who send gifts. you all are so wonderful. Happy holidays. Debbie |

What Molanic said and more. Wendy you did a fantastic job with this swap. I expected a much more generic return. Thank you abundantly, Alana |
- Posted by hibiscusfan zone 5 N.W. Oh. (My Page) on Fri, Dec 23, 11 at 10:12
Received my seeds yesterday and was totally surprised at all the seeds that I've been wanting. A big THANK YOU WENDY for doing such a great job and thanks to everyone for your gifts! |
My seeds arrived today! I am grateful, excited, bewildered, fussed-over, pleased, honored, merry, mirthful, delighted, gleeful, enraptured...all the way to tickled to death, bubbling over and in seventh heaven. Thank you everyone. Kudos to the swap master. |
Got my package today, wow! Thank you so much Wendy, and thanks to all of you who participated and sent such an amazing assortment of seeds. Special thanks to those of you who earmarked seeds, I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to know that someone wanted specifically you to get their seeds. Wow (again)! |
- Posted by roper2008 virginia 7a-8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Dec 23, 11 at 16:08
Very happy to find my seeds in the mail!! I'm going to go thru all of them tonight. Thank you Wendy and everyone who sent in seeds. It's like a Christmas present...Ya! |
Christmas started early here! The seeds arrived this evening and even the mail carrier lady (a gardener too) was grinning from ear to ear when she handed me the envelope. I just tore into it and I can't wait to start looking things up and planting in the morning. Thank you Wendy, all the people who specially mailed seeds for me and everyone who shared their seeds. Merry Christmas everyone! |
My seeds arrived yesterday and I've just gone through them while riding in the car. Wow! I don't have room in my garden for all the wonderful seeds I have to plant, now. Thank-you so much, everyone. And especially thanks to Wendy. You did an amazing job. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Martha |
- Posted by sassybutterfly_2008 7 NorthWest GA (My Page) on Sun, Dec 25, 11 at 10:52
Merry Christmas!! I am so humbled and thankful for the appreciation and compliments. I was SO worried..lol. I tried really hard to find at least SOME things on wish lists and share other things that I had just a bit of. I'm just plain thrilled that everyone seems so happy thus far. Thanks to all of you for making this a fun and wonderful Christmas that I hope we can start a yearly tradition of doing. OH~ and by the way, our dear Texaspinkie's seed package finally arrived after looking thru many many states...lol. I'll be talking to her after Christmas about how to proceed with getting these seeds out to you all. If you receive a card in the mail.. that'd be why :) Merry Christmas to you all, may you find peace and joy in your gardens and in your lives in the coming year. ~Wendy |
Merry Christmas to you, too, Wendy! |

I know this is late, but I've been traveling for several weeks and JUST got home to my amazingly wonderful package of seeds!! I was absolutely bowled over by how many of my wishes were included. I'm soooo impressed with Wendy's thoughtful sorting! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And I was really shocked to see several gifts for me -- as a relative newcomer, I never expected anyone to go out of their way to send some seeds just for me. Wow. Thank you all so much for this wonderful swap. And especially to Wendy for all the hard work that this entailed. Gretchen |

315 Eaton to Burton
Cablegram 298 DJOKJAKARTA, 6 September 1947 [1]
This morning in informal talks at Jocja[carta] President and Prime Minster said that it was hoped Australia would be Republican representative on Commission [2] and that United Kingdom would be chosen as third power. Russia and China not considered suitable.
Communications with Sjahrir in America difficult, he apparently will recommend Indonesian choice.
2. Indonesian[s] hope terms of Commission will include arbitration on interpretation of disputed points of Linggardjati agreement which is hoped to serve as basis for renewed discussions. Present feeling of Indonesians is that final solution of problem must include a third power to supervise execution of decided cooperation between both parties.

Inside the Steiger Dynamics LEET
Orienting the chassis in a more "normal" position, you get a basic idea for the layout and offerings before we get into finer details.
This is the HDD rack that, with the use of some special screws in the hardware kit, allows room for up to four drives in this rack. There is also an 80mm fan on the floor to actively cool this compartment, and add fresh air in from the floor if this rack is not in use.
I removed the slim optical bay and the rack for three 2.5" drives so that you can get a look at the back of the 7" screen and see how it and the front I/O are placed and connected.
The motherboard tray is set to accept a Micro-ATX, ATX or E-ATX motherboard, and this tray is the full width of the chassis. There is also a very large and wide CPU cooler access hole to help get everything mounted before you slide this tray back in once the system is installed on it.
Looking inside of the rear of the LEET, I want to cover the use of thumbscrews to mount any expansion cards, and also you can now see a bit of the LED strip that is installed. This strip runs along both sides as well as the back of this chassis.
Removing four thumbscrews from the back of the chassis will allow you to slide this tray most of the way out. There is a lip that makes you have to lift the tray to completely remove it. Notice that the tray includes the rear I/O as well as the dual radiator support at the bottom of it.
The chassis wiring is mostly black besides the power switch connection for the motherboard. The USB 3.0, HD Audio, 4-pin Molex connector and USB from the touchscreen are all sleeved in black. These also disconnect from the chassis to allow you to use the wiring and a dual radiator, but more on that when we get to the build process.

4 Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go forth, and don't return again. | 4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds; they leave and do not return. |

7 He scorns the tumult of the city, Neither hears he the shouting of the driver. | 7 He laughs at the commotion in the town; he does not hear a driver's shout. |
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after every green thing. | 8 He ranges the hills for his pasture and searches for any green thing. |
9 "Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough? | 9 "Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night? |
10 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you? | 10 Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he till the valleys behind you? |
11 Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor? | 11 Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him? |
12 Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, And gather the grain of your threshing floor? | 12 Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? |
13 "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love? | 13 "The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork. |
14 For she leaves her eggs on the earth, Warms them in the dust, | 14 She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand, |
15 And forgets that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild animal may trample them. | 15 unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. |
16 She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear, | 16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain, |
17 Because God has deprived her of wisdom, Neither has he imparted to her understanding. | 17 for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense. |
18 When she lifts up herself on high, She scorns the horse and his rider. | 18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider. |
19 "Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane? | 19 "Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane? |
20 Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome. | 20 Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? |
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: He goes out to meet the armed men. | 21 He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. |
22 He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither does he turn back from the sword. | 22 He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword. |
23 The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and the javelin. | 23 The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. |
24 He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, Neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet. | 24 In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. |
25 As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' He smells the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting. | 25 At the blast of the trumpet he snorts, 'Aha!' He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry. |
26 "Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, And stretches her wings toward the south? | 26 "Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread his wings toward the south? |
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, And makes his nest on high? | 27 Does the eagle soar at your command and build his nest on high? |
28 On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, On the point of the cliff, and the stronghold. | 28 He dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is his stronghold. |
29 From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off. | 29 From there he seeks out his food; his eyes detect it from afar. |
30 His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is." | 30 His young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there is he." |

Welcome to the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group Website
The Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group forms part of The Cochrane Collaboration, an international not-for-profit and independent organization, dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare readily available worldwide. It produces and disseminates systematic reviews of healthcare interventions and promotes the search for evidence in the form of clinical trials and other studies of interventions.
The major product of the Collaboration is the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews which is published quarterly as part of The Cochrane Library.
The Group produces systematic reviews of the evidence on interventions to prevent and treat tobacco addiction. We include interventions for smoking cessation, for preventing uptake, and public policy interventions to reduce smoking prevalence. Our main focus is on smoking but we also cover interventions for smokeless tobacco.
Special collection for World No Tobacco Day 2014
World No Tobacco Day is held each year on 31 May and is organised by the World Health Organization. To coincide with World No Tobacco Day, we have launched a Special Collection of Cochrane reviews that address tobacco addiction in the general population.
For the first time this year, the reviews in the Special Collection will be free to access for as long as they are on The Cochrane Library homepage.
The Special Collection can be accessed at: http://www.thecochranelibrary.com/details/collection/699927/World-No-Tobacco-Day.html
Chris Silagy Prize
Kate Cahill, a Managing Editor with the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group since 2001, and Convenor of the Editorial Management Advisory Group, won the 2009 Chris Silagy Prize for having made an extraordinary contribution to the work of the Collaboration which exceeded the expectations of her employment. Kate had been identified by her peers as consistently contributing to a spirit of collaboration.

The Best Songs to Win Her Over
Classic songs, new songs. For when you're first dating, married, or you need her to stay. Or just because.
By Hilary Hughes
Spencer Davis Group, "Gimme Some Lovin'"
If: You can't stomach putting another Marvin Gaye song on a mix.
Instead of going with the Motown selections every joe's ever thrown a girl's way to woo her "I Can't Help Myself," "Let's Get It On," etc. go with the track revered by soul DJs who know when to get a room ravaging the floorboards. This is that number.

At Bidermann golf course in northern Delaware, members like to tell a tale from their club's first incarnation—back when it was the Winterthur Golf Club, the personal preserve of Henry du Pont, the club's only member. The game had so besotted du Pont that in the late 1920s he hired prominent golf course designer Devereux Emmet to build him a course on a corner of his property.
One morning, the story goes, du Pont's nephew called from Philadelphia saying he'd like to come out to play that afternoon. Quite impossible, du Pont's personal pro and greenskeeper, Percy Vickers, informed him; the course was full. That made no sense to the lad; for even on the busiest weekend, Uncle Henry never asked more than, say, twenty guests to join him on the tough nine-hole journey. And this was a weekday; there should be no traffic at all. So the nephew persisted. He wanted to know just who was playing. Vickers's reply was as succinct as it was pointed: "Mr. du Pont, of course."
Of course.
Whether it's a full eighteen-holer or just a couple of greens connected by a fairway with a series of tees around the perimeter (like the one Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed for President Eisenhower at Camp David), a backyard course forms the clearest red stake between golf's haves and its have-so-much-mores, and there's been a boomlet in them over the last decade. When the good times roll, so do the putts—behind high walls and gated entrances.
Granted, personal golf courses are nothing new. In 1892, Charles Blair Macdonald cobbled together seven holes for an Illinois senator, about the same time that Rudyard Kipling—yes, that Rudyard Kipling—was converting the meadow beyond the front door of his Vermont manor into his new course for his new world. By 1901, John D. Rockefeller was already remodeling his first course, hiring Willie Dunn, the original designer of Shinnecock Hills, to turn four ho-hum holes known as Pocantico Hills at the family compound in Tarrytown, New York, into a comparative thirteen-hole bonanza.
But it was during the ostentatious Roaring Twenties that the personal course took hold. The leviathans of commerce and industry, accustomed to filling wall space with Rembrandts and Renoirs, sought the imprint of golf's own masters on their landscapes: During that decade, the Mellons commissioned Donald Ross to design two full nines for the family. For their Long Island estates, Harry Payne Whitney asked Macdonald (who, as an aristocrat himself, never accepted a design fee) and Otto Kahn asked Seth Raynor (who did) to design nine-holers. USGA treasurer Eddie Moore had Macdonald and Raynor create a three-green, three-tee practice course on his. Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, the movies' reigning comics, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, viewed golf as no laughing matter; each cast none other than Alister Mackenzie to fill their Tinseltown yards with nine-hole par-three tracks.
The necessary rules for these endeavors had, by then, been set: There are no rules. If it's your property, you build what you want and what you can. And over time, architects have devised remarkably novel routings to squeeze in as much golf as fits an owner's checkbook: Fairways crisscross and play both hither and yon since there's rarely anyone in the way. "You can't do that on a regular golf course," says Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Some backyard courses, although seemingly exclusive, have themselves been borne from the exclusion of others. In 1926, advertising titan Albert Lasker found himself blackballed from Chicago's established clubs because he was Jewish. He showed them, employing William Flynn to overlay a 7,000-yard behemoth of a course on his 480-acre estate. Walter Annenberg reportedly built his own Sunnylands when he was rejected for membership at nearby Thunderbird Golf and Country Club in Palm Springs. A few years later, shipping pooh-bah Henry Mercer built Hominy Hills in Colts Neck, New Jersey, when members of his home club objected to the Asian clients he'd bring out to entertain.As ostentatious as these courses may appear, their creators' motivations are often anything but. "Most of the people who do this are private types, even if their names are familiar," says Tom Fazio. "They're not trying to impress anybody. They don't have to."
Nonetheless, should you be invited to play one of these courses, you will be impressed.

"Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin will be minus a TV show after next season.
In a press release, TLC says they have "decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8," adding "By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future."
Following the announcement, Gosselin jumped on her Twitter and posted a lengthy message to fans:
"TLC cancelled it. I'm sorry ...
We've had a great run! Six years of whirlwind funfilled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive &diehard fans!
While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), we are looking forward with great anticipation to our bright future! As is very typical for me, I am choosing to see the positive in this situation and I am excited to consider the many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way!
I poured my entire self in2 the last6years of 'Kate Plus 8' & I can't wait2have the chance2challenge myself again w future endeavors! In the meanX,I hope 2have more time4motivational speaking,book writing &other fun work opportunities that come my way...And maybe even some dating??!! We wish our fans well. And remember, this is not 'goodbye'.I prefer to say 'See you around!' Xoxo
We will all stay on twitter! I know I'm not going anywhere!"
The show just started its now-final season last week.
Estranged husband Jon Gosselin was happy with the news, telling Radar Online he was "relieved" by the move.
Will you miss Kate? Sound off below!
en Todo Momento!!: 1259 days ago
k+8 as well as j&k+8 were like the new age unscripted brady bunch. they definitely gave insight into our new colorful multicultural world!!
sbs: 1259 days ago
SO GLAD! Could not stand her and her whinning. Give the kids a break already!
clarkins: 1259 days ago
Thank god.. now maybe we can get rid of all the other mindless reality shows on TV and star*****ching something that requires talent and creativity.
Nancy: 1259 days ago
FINALLY! I'm sick of this lady and her spoiled bratty kids. Good riddance.
sheila: 1259 days ago
Yippie!! Now maybe these kids can try to live normal lives (not take 5 vacations a year, with NO lines to wait in!!) and have a social life. Kate will now get a social life??? Please, Kate has a social life with her married "Bodyguard".
Gosselinwithoutpity must be burning up the internet!!
had a social
Tinalouise: 1259 days ago
She is an evil, vile person. She can't get along with anyone and I feel so sorry for her kids. My god they have to do everything outside in the cold just so they don't spill a crumb..she is an obnoxious compulsive,narcissistic person. She needs to go to therapy before her kids all decide to sneak out and run far far away!!
meggy9489: 1259 days ago
FINALLY!!! should have stopped once it was minus John! it was a long time coming ... Kate is just so annoying im surprised TLC kept her own show this long!
Jess: 1259 days ago
Tears of joy maybe. Seeing how half the time they are crying anyway, they're probably relieved to finally have a normal life and not have camera constantly in their face.
Tinalouise: 1259 days ago
Motivational speaking? She isn't serious is she? The last I heard she went to do a speaking engagement and showed up very grumpy, miserable and would not talk to anyone unless they had her book to sign.
erika redekopp: 1259 days ago
I real enjoyed Kate plus 8. Sorry to hear its ending. Some of the other comments sound like sour grapes. I am sure if given the opportunity , anyone would jump at the chance to be paid to do a show about raising their children.
mary: 1259 days ago
Erik first learn to spell
Kate is not a Catholic
Kate since becoming famous has stopped going to church
sounds like you want to molest kids
Jamie: 1259 days ago
Did anyone notice that she didn't mention 'being a great Mom' as one of her future aspirations? I saw quite a few "I"s, "Me"s, and "My"s. Does she even remember the kids are there? I mean, she did toss Jon aside. I wouldn't be shocked if she gave him custody to peruse her "career". UGH

Hollywood proper may no longer be ''the movie capital of the world,'' but it's still a hugely popular tourist attraction and home to landmarks that long ago entered the pop lexicon as a virtual Treasury of Tackiness Grauman's (now Mann's) Chinese Theater, the Capitol Records Tower, the Wax Museum, Frederick's of Hollywood, the Walk of Fame, etc.
Thanks to The Official Video Tour of Hollywood, a sprightly video that is part tourist come-on, part cultural gazetteer, viewers everywhere can now hopscotch among the Tinseltown totems and hear them lovingly celebrated by native notables some as old as their subjects (Milton Berle, Morey Amsterdam, Vincent Price). Highlights include a history of the hillside Hollywood sign, Diahann Carroll's Walk of Fame star-laying ceremony, and Uncle Miltie's description of buying his first dress at Frederick's.
The 26-minute video comes complete with a booklet of discount coupons for several Hollywood tourist attractions (it is ''official,'' after all) a perfect commercial symbol of that most commercial of American towns. B
