Governance, committees and working groups
The HTA was established on 1 April 2005 under the Human Tissue Act 2004 (HT Act) which extends to England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) is an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body (ENDPB) sponsored by the Department of Health and as such has a framework agreement (PDF). The Authority's Chair and nine Members were appointed by the Secretary of State for Health one member who has been appointed by the Welsh Government and one member who has been appointed by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland. The Chair and nine members are lay and the remaining two are professionals drawn from some of the groups with a direct interest in the application of the HT Act. The Authority is supported by an Executive of 47 staff. Papers and minutes of Authority meetings are available here.
With the interests of both the public and regulated establishments at the centre of its work, the HTA's strategic goal is to maintain and build confidence in the removal, storage and use of human tissue by ensuring that these activities are undertaken safely and ethically, and with proper consent. The strategic objectives that support this aim and information on how the HTA plans to achieve them are included in the Strategic Plan and the annual Business Plans. A simple introduction to the HTA, its role and objectives is available in the About the HTA section.
The HTA Business Plan 2012-15 (PDF) and Strategic Plan 2013-2016 (PDF) are available to download.
The HTA is responsible for achieving its policies, aims and objectives, whilst safeguarding the public funds and assets. The Chief Executive, acts as the HTA's Accounting Officer and is responsible for the overall organisation, management and staffing of the HTA and for ensuring that there is a high standard of financial management in the HTA.
The Chief Executive is accountable to the HTA Authority for the work of the Executive and the Authority is accountable to the Department of Health and Parliament for the activities and performance of the HTA.
At the end of each financial year, the HTA submits an Annual Report and Accounts to the Secretary of State, National Assembly for Wales and the relevant Northern Ireland Department.
The HTA has two statutory committees and three groups assembled to maintain oversight and support its work with stakeholders:
- Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee
- Remuneration Committee
- Stakeholder Group
- Histopathology Working Group
- Transplantation Advisory Group
Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee
The HTA Audit Committee is an advisory body to the Human Tissue Authority board (the Authority). The main functions of the Audit Committee are to:
- help promote the highest standards of propriety in the use of HTA funds and encourage proper accountability for the use of those funds
- improve the quality of financial reporting by reviewing internal and external financial statements on behalf of the Authority
- promote a climate of financial discipline and control which will help to reduce the opportunity for financial mismanagement
- review the management of risk in the HTA
- promote the development of internal controls systems which will help satisfy the Authority that the HTA will achieve its objectives and targets.
The committee's three core functions are to ensure the HTA is operating:
- in accordance with any statutory requirements for the use of public funds
- within delegated authorities laid down by the sponsor department and the HTA's own rules on what matters should be referred to the Authority
- in a manner which will make most economic and effective use of resources available.
The Audit Committee is comprised of four non-executive members of the Authority. Members of the executive team, representatives from the National Audit Office (NAO) and the HTA's Internal Auditor also attend the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee meets three times a year.
Full terms of reference are available here (PDF).
Remuneration Committee
The duties of the Remuneration Committee are to:
- schedule meetings to consider salaries, performance-related pay, pension, contracts and performance management of members of SMT
- ensure that an appropriate performance management system (which includes training and development requirements) is in place and applied to the performance of SMT and other staff
- report to the Authority on the outcome of the performance management of the SMT against agreed objectives and targets
- approve recommendations on pay policy for staff outside SMT
- ensure that an accurate statement of the policy on remuneration for all staff and Authority members is included in the annual report and accounts and that this document reflects payments of all kinds made to SMT
- approve of recommendations for severance payments and early retirement for all staff.
Under data protection regulations minutes of this committee are not published, but information on pay is published in our financial transparency section.
Stakeholder Group
The purpose of the Stakeholder Group (SG) is to consider regulatory issues across all sectors to inform the continued development of HTA regulation and fee-setting.
The group's four core functions are to:
- provide an ongoing channel of communication with stakeholders
- provide a forum for regular discussion of regulatory issues
- consider fees proposals annually
- report back to the Authority on key issues following meetings, as necessary.
The papers and minutes are available here:
Histopathology Working Group
The purpose of the Histopathology Working Group (HWG) is to consider issues facing post-mortem sector establishments to inform the continued development of HTA policy affecting the sector and its overlap with the research sector.
The group's four core functions are:
- maintain strategic oversight of the sector
- provide a forum for debate on sector-specific issues and inform implementation of resulting work streams
- consider standards documents and other guidance on the investigation of death created by the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) Death Investigation Group
- to report back to the Authority on key issues as necessary.
Full terms of reference are available here (PDF).
Transplantation Advisory Group
The Transplantation Advisory Group (TAG) is a forum for discussion on issues arising in living and deceased organ donation, in particular:
- discussion of new policy issues and emerging areas in transplantation
- identification of revisions required to current HTA or NHSBT policies
- discussion on the complex ethical issues in transplantation in order to ensure the requirements of the HT Act and associated regulations are met
- guidance on issues surrounding Independent Assessor (IA) performance, generally identified during the reaccreditation process.
The group's three core functions are to:
- maintain strategic oversight of living and deceased organ donation
- provide a forum for debate on sector-specific issues to inform policy decisions and identify work streams/projects
- report back to the Authority on key issues as necessary.
Full terms of reference are available here (PDF).

Dec 7, 2012 3:08 PM by The Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - Two disc jockeys who made a prank call pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles won't be returning to their jobs for a while.
That word comes from their employer, Australian radio station 2DayFM, after a nurse who fell victim to the hoax was found dead. It says the two won't return to the station until further notice.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha answered the prank call at the London hospital where Prince William's pregnant wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, was being treated for morning sickness. The hospital says Saldanha transferred the call to another nurse, who was recorded telling the phony royals that the duchess hadn't been "retching" and was "sleeping on and off."
Saldanha was found dead early today at apartments affiliated with the hospital, where she worked for four years. A coroner will determine how she died. Police say they found nothing supicious.
The hospital says "everyone is shocked by the loss."
St. James's Palace, the office of the duchess and Prince William, also expressed sadness.

U.S. Motorcycle Maker Takes an Indian Detour
Grandma would be appalled. It seems no one sits up straight anymore. A study by furniture maker Steelcase (SCS) has just identified nine common ways that modern workers are sitting, mainly to use all those gadgets on their desks. The report, based on a survey of 2,000 people in 11 countries, also points out the stresses we impose on our bodies by sitting in unfamiliar postures. Take what Steelcase calls "the Draw," for instance. It's a posture especially common among people who use tablets. The device frees them from the desk, allowing them to recline. The problem: Arms become fatigued after holding a device for long periods. Also, reclining can cause back pain when lower back support is inadequate.

I'm planning a super low-budget kitchen remodel in a low-price house, and will be re-using some of the existing cabinets (1920 vintage, painted) and adding new ones, plus either modifying the existing door fronts or replacing the doors so they all match. I'll likely buy the lowers (mostly drawer bases) and build the uppers. Thus I need unpainted cabinets so I can paint everything the same color and have a somewhat uniform-looking kitchen. I've browsed CL for used cabinets, and it'll be a challenge to get the right sizes to fit my piecemeal needs plus many will need modifications (e.g., changing door base to drawer base, buying different door/drawer fronts) that will bump the cost up. Menards also has pretty cheap unfinished oak cabinets (not my first choice for painting) for <$100/box, but very limited sizes and they'd all need to be reworked for drawers and fronts as well. So far I think the best deal I can find is from Kitchen Cabinet Depot. They've got a vast size/configuration selection of unfinished RTA and prices are about 46% of what Lowe's quoted me for Shenandoah finished cabs. Depending on the salvageability of the existing cabinets, I could probably piecemeal the cabinets I need for $1400-2400. I've searched these forums and googled as well, and can't find any reviews of them. I know daveinorlando suggested buying one and putting it together to assess the quality, and I could do that. But also wondering if anyone here has experience with them. Or has other companies to recommend for unfinished RTA cabinets. (The RTA is optional, but presumably cheaper, so that's why I'm going that direction). |
Follow-Up Postings:
In my last house I repainted painted Ikea cabinets. I used Kilz primer so I didn't have to sand them. They were in my office but held up pretty well for the 10 years I was in the house. I assembled first and then painted them, but I just read a hack online where the poster said to paint them first. You still might be limited in your sizes, but you wouldn't have to upgrade the drawers. |
Barker cabinets has good reviews here and moderate-low prices. CliqStudios (although components app. not made in USA) have good reviews but I don't think come unpainted. Conestoga has also gotten good mentions here, can be bought from various vendors (I got quote from Cabinet Authority) and I think but again not sure can be purchased unfinished-- also in the moderate-low range, about like Barker.. Did you google Kitchen Cabinet Depot BBB? that will bring up any Better Business Bureau complaints or ratings. |
I'm using Home Depot unfinished cabinets in a low budget laundry room redo. We just finished painting last night and they are getting hung tomorrow, so I will try to post pics next week when the counters go in. It was a little challenge getting the sizes to work, so if you don't need custom sizes, they can do the job. I also used these in my master bathroom- 2 separate 30 inch sink bases. They are standard kitchen depth, so a little deeper than most vanities, but they work for us! I painted them black and topped them with carrera marble remnants. I love the look and they have held up fine- 4 years now! |

I've looked at most of the above mentioned. Ikea: Too limited on sizes (e.g.: 3 drawer base only comes in 15, 18, and 24). Barker: more expensive than KCD Cliq: no unfinished Conestoga: no unfinished, plus you have to buy through a dealer Home Depot: a little more expensive than Menards, but same generic oak in limited sizes. How did they paint out? On your recommendation I googled KCD BBB and found a site called Customer Lobby (never heard of them) that had a string of good reviews. So that looks promising... |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Mar 7, 13 at 15:55
If you are moderately handy ... check ana-white.com for base cabinet plans. You can alter the sizes. http://ana-white.com/2012/01/plans/36quot-corner-base-easy-reach-kitchen-cabinet-basic-model |
Here is a link that might be useful: 36
If Ikea has the price range that you need, it seems that it is possible to piece together different elements to create a size closer to what you need. For example, I figured out how to get my 21" pantry out of a 15" pantry case mixed with 21" base cabs and drawers, and it still would have been a significant cost savings over Barker. They do have 30" and 36" base drawer units BTW, they just have a split top drawer. |
I feel like you can get Conestoga unfinished. Worth a call/email. Brian Long at the Cabinet Joint helped (and continues to help) us. These have lovely interiors, too. You get the hang of assembling them fairly quickly (first couple are a little scary, try without glue first time). Quick lead times, too. email@example.com |
One more thought: we were able to customize drawer widths and heights at reasonable up charge. |
- Posted by Caliente63 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 8, 13 at 16:43
Add Scherr's to the list (many threads here). |
- Posted by islandlife (My Page) on Fri, Mar 8, 13 at 17:43
Another good option, possibly less expensive and completely customizable, is CabParts. They were featured in an article in Fine Homebuilding, used for an architect's own DIY kitchen. I very nearly got these, but ended up getting Barker cabinets with unfinished doors, which we then had a local craftsman stain and finish. The Barker website made ordering far easier (than CabParts) which left me feeling more confident that I'd ordered what I needed. The price was very close to Conestoga, a bit more than CabParts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: CabParts website

Thanks for the continued suggestions. I've browsed them all, and, on lazygardens' suggestion, have been looking more into building my own bases. I'm completely confident on uppers, and on lower boxes, just inexperienced on drawers. Multiple youtube videos later, on multiple different drawer construction methods, it's seeming feasible. Or there's Drawer Depot, that sells kits, any size, for $30 per drawer. We're only talking 3 drawer bases, a trash pullout and a sink front. I'm also thinking of just doing a site-built stretch of cabinets instead of individual boxes. I'll keep sketching and googling... |

Interesting how ideas come about. In January, Biz Stone -- blogger, self-proclaimed genius and author of Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content -- came up with a humorous logo (above) for a dating service by the web's top search engine, which he called Google Personals.
Stone didn't elaborate, except to say that the idea "came to him in a dream". The proposal was all just a bit of fun until a site called LoveCompass decided to examine it more closely.
LoveCompass makes some interesting arguments, mainly that one of Google's main rivals, Yahoo!, offers personals. Why shouldn't Google, already diversifying into contextual advertising, offer dating, now one of the web's most popular services?
GoogleGuy (the company's spokesperson who posts regularly on the WebmasterWorld bulletin boards) recently confirmed to me that the company was "happy to take suggestions from anywhere" so, who knows, perhaps they'll consider this one.
Of course, Google would have to do things differently. Perhaps it could offer a
dating service specifically aimed at geeks, based on compatible genome sequences?
Hmmm, I feel (another) science fiction novel brewing...

After a particularly difficult shooting day last spring on the upcoming comedy ''Welcome to Collinwood,'' producer George Clooney was encouraging his employees -- including stars Sam Rockwell and Isaiah Washington -- to get sufficiently sloshed. ''We were out drinking till late, late, late and he was running around the bar, making sure everybody was having a good time,'' recalls Washington. ''We were all hurting the next morning...[but Clooney] had a two-minute monologue to film and he nailed it, didn't flub one word. There's no one that could say anything bad about my man George.''
With the exception of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, the rest of Hollywood seems to be joining in the toast: Clooney, 40, has emerged as Tinseltown's BMOC, a guy who uses his growing clout to support projects and causes he believes in. Just this year, the star cajoled the megawatt cast of ''Ocean's Eleven'' (including Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon) to sign on for less than their usual lofty fees; gathered the likes of Jack Nicholson and Goldie Hawn to fill the celebrity phone bank during the Sept. 21 telethon ''America: A Tribute to Heroes''; and lined up A-listers Roberts, Drew Barrymore, and ''Being John Malkovich'' scribe Charlie Kaufman for his directorial debut, ''Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.'' All while managing to maintain a rep as sparkling as Danny Ocean's wedding ring.
Like his latest cinematic alter ego, Clooney seems to be playing a role in Hollywood that hasn't been filled since the Rat Pack days: that of an old-fashioned power player who cuts through industry red tape and gets things done, all with a wink and a smile. ''More people should follow in his suit... instead of [playing] the political games that are so unnecessary,'' says Mimi Leder, who directed him on ''ER'' and in ''The Peacemaker.'' (Clooney declined to comment for this story.) ''He doesn't seem to be in charge, but gets in charge [by] functioning as a member of the group,'' adds ''Ocean'''s costar Carl Reiner. Of course, Clooney -- who dropped his $12 million asking price and convinced other actors to follow -- also produced ''Ocean's Eleven'' with cowriter-director Steven Soderbergh under the pair's Section Eight shingle. (He later gave the cast personalized mountain bikes in gratitude.) ''You always feel that you're doing it for the group,'' Reiner says. ''He's a benign despot.''
Some might disagree with the word benign. Clooney -- son of veteran Cincinnati newsman Nick Clooney and nephew of singer Rosemary Clooney -- has been known to tick people off. Angered by the distribution of the September 11th Fund money, O'Reilly has accused him and other celebrity ''weasels'' of misleading donors and then failing to police the charity, a claim that Clooney has denied. Clooney's strongly worded letter in October to the Screen Actors Guild, chastising the union for expelling three members who had crossed the picket lines during last year's six-month strike against commercial producers, also drew ire. According to a SAG spokeswoman, Clooney can't possibly have all the facts of the case, since disciplinary proceedings are confidential.
The actor's willingness to take a stand is nothing new. More than a decade ago, Clooney clashed with veteran producer Ed. Weinberger while working on the short-lived ABC series ''Baby Talk.'' (Clooney eventually quit after five episodes.) ''He absolutely was not going to stand by while people were treated badly,'' says former costar Julia Duffy, describing the on-set atmosphere as ''very dysfunctional.'' ''He certainly wasn't in any position of power at the time... but he didn't care. He would stand up against the big guys.''
Including, at one point, the tabloid media industry. In 1996, Clooney began a public boycott of syndicated news show ''Hard Copy'' and its sister program ''Entertainment Tonight'' (both produced by Paramount Television) after ''Hard Copy'' aired footage of him and then-girlfriend Céline Balitran. (Clooney and his ex-wife, actress Talia Balsam, divorced in 1992; he has remained single ever since.) After he was joined by a bevy of stars, including Madonna, Steven Spielberg, and Whoopi Goldberg, both shows changed their news-gathering policies and promised to no longer ''solicit, purchase, or air celebrity footage'' obtained by camera operators who harassed their subjects.
''George's stance influenced an awful lot of people,'' says CBS president-CEO Les Moonves, who first put the star under contract when he was head of Warner Bros. Television in 1991. ''[The shows] got away with a lot of stuff over a long period of time.'' ''Hard Copy'' went off the air in 1999; Clooney quietly lifted his ''ET'' boycott in early 2000. (Says ''ET'': ''We're huge fans of Clooney's and love having him on the show.'')
And then there was the infamous 1998 throat-grabbing scuffle with director David O. Russell on the Arizona desert set of ''Three Kings.'' Clooney said he stepped in when Russell ''went nuts'' on an extra. ''I went over and I put my arm around him and I pulled him aside,'' Clooney told EW in 1999. ''I said, 'You can't do that.'''
But Nick Clooney says his son -- who was born in Lexington, Ky., grew up outside Cincy, and didn't make the trek to L.A. until he was 21 -- has always had a keen sense of fairness. He recalls one incident when 18-month-old George was playing with a brood of puppies at his grandmother's farm and one unexpectedly bit the future Dr. Doug Ross. ''So he picked up the puppy by the tail and head and bit it back,'' says the elder Clooney. ''There's a certain justice there, so I couldn't get mad at him. 'You bite me, I'll bite you.' And he still does that, too.''

"This is a very good recipe. The sauce is what makes it so delicious. However, cut the salt by half or more. The other ingredients (like cheese or the cooked chicken) add salt. Also it needs a little heat, the poblano, as suggested by someone else, is still not enough kick. Very good though."

The good times have kept on rolling here in Spain. Here's a shot I did of Monique on La Marroncita, a really beautiful and long 8b (31) which she did a few weeks ago at Oliana.
Monthly Archives: April 2012
And some good press for local (Blue Mountains) talent Matt Norgrove, here on Moonshadow, his first 33. Earlier I mentioned how Matt has carved it up lately. Since then he has cranked Mechanical Animals (33), he's certainly on a roll .
Thanks to Rock Magazine for another cover!
Another cover, this one the French magazine Grimper with Spanish climber Daila Ojeda smashing the glass ceiling on Mind Control (8c+) at Oliana. This shot found it's way into print very quickly. I mentioned Daila's climb in my recent post here. Thanks to Daila and Grimper!
I've scored some covers recently. Firstly, here is the 2012 issue of Ascent. Very stoked about this one!
The photo is of Monique run-out to the max on the extraordinary 60-metre tufa route Tom et je Ris in Verdon Gorge, France, which I wrote about earlier here and there's the video here.
Ascent is Rock and Ice magazine's mega annual. It is the original literary journal of climbing, conceived of and edited for many years by Steck and Roper. Rock and Ice rejuvenated the journal last year — and I scored the cover then as well. I'm reposting that again here because I don't know if we'll ever get my old blog database up and running again… Anyway, I'm really honoured to have my work appear here. Thanks Rock and Ice!
Australia has a new online climbing zine, Vertical Life! You can see it all here.
I really like the work that Simon Madden and Ross Taylor have put into this so far – looks great guys. They say they plan to put out a printed annual, looking forward to seeing that too. I reckon it's a bold move by anyone trying to put out professional quality climbing media in Australia (or anywhere for that matter – but Australia has a particularly small market). Having being involved with Crux Magazine for a while I've got an idea of the challenges they'll face. These guys look well positioned to make a go of it if anyone can. Good luck with it guys! I hope the market is big enough for this to exist along-side the existing print magazine – Rock.
And in the first issue of Vertical Life there is a video interview that they did with me about my work and new book, Rock Odyssey. Also in this video I've given away a lot of the detail behind my new photo pole apparatus that I use to get some of my shots. When I blogged about this "revolutionary" new approach to climbing photography a while back I had no less than three different patent attorneys contact with some very generous offers to help out, should I somehow want to produce and market it. Instead of going down that road I decided to share this system with the climbing community. I'll be happy to see other photographers out there using this system — and their variants of it. I'm working on some ways to improve the system. If you're a photographer out there playing with this stuff I'd be grateful if you share some of the things that you might learn back with me; maybe together we figure out some of the details to devise a really efficient system for capturing mind-blowing climbing shots. That would be cool, eh?
Here's that video below. Also on the Vertical Life web site there's an article, Words about Pictures, where I give the background to some of my shots. Enjoy!

UniQure BV, the Dutch company that won approval to market the first gene therapy drug in Europe, is now pacing to bring the first gene therapy drug to market in the United States. The drug maker this fall will begin building a 55,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Lexington, Mass., after the town wooed it with a package of tax savings. The first gene therapy drugs will be upon us in the United States within three years.
Transhumans? People with shiny, new synthetic genes that replace defective copies of those genes, or people who have fish DNA sewn up into their genomes? Yes, they're already walking among us.
Probably numbering in the hundreds, they are part-human, part-synthetics who are the products of gene therapy trials. Now the Food and Drug Administration is weighing approvals for the first market applications for genetic engineering in humans.
I'd say it's time to embrace gene therapy. I'm not alone. "The anti-determinists want to say that DNA is a little side-show, but every disease that's with us is caused by DNA and can be fixed by DNA," the biologist George Church told me.
Indeed, gene therapy drugs are what investors might call "disruptive technology" since they radically upset insurance models, and indeed, how doctors think about treating a disease.
When it hits the market in Europe for the first time this fall at an estimated $1.6 million, Glybera will be the most expensive drug in the world.
"The idea is that Glybera is a one-time treatment," Jörn Aldag, CEO of UniQure, told me. "If we look out five years, there should be tens approved, if not hundreds" of gene therapy drugs, which Aldag called the new "routine treatment modality."
The field suffered staggering setbacks in 1999 when 18-year-old Jesse Gelsinger died in a gene therapy trial. Gelsinger had an enzyme deficiency disease, and an adenovirus was used to deliver a replacement gene to his genome. But it touched off a massive immune system response called a "cytokine storm." The FDA suspended gene therapy trials in the early 2000s and investment disappeared.
But small improvements have made the technology safer. UniQure's drug, Glybera, makes use of an adeno-associated virus which is less "immunogenic" than the one used to treat Gelsinger, and slips inside cells along with its cargo, a shiny new gene — in this case, a copy of a gene that builds lipoprotein lipase. It is a type of gene therapy that is "non-integrative" since the gene is not actually incorporated into the genome. Other gene therapy tools, or "expression cassettes," do integrate new DNA into our genomes and have been engineered to be gentler, and less likely to trigger side-effects, like a cancer.
And, George Church's group is one of several labs working on the development of tiny molecular scissors that can actually make edits to our genomes with high precision. His mechanism, called CRISPR, may be used to treat conditions where specific mutations are known to cause a disease, such with Huntington's Disease, where repeats of the motif CAG in the HTT gene are known to drive the disease.
The biologist Richard Dawkins once said that groups and individuals mingle in loose federations, like "clouds in the sky or dust-storms in the desert," while "genes, like diamonds, are forever." If the publishing of the first draft of human genome in 2001 was like decoding an ancient, antediluvian script, a tool now exists to rewrite the Tablets of Stone.
In our lifetimes we will be confronted with new ethical choices on whether to edit our genes. Will we try to do all sorts of fancy things, aligning ourselves with the Kurzweil Singularity movement, the sad, comical spectacle that it is? The Time magazine cover story "Can Google Solve Death" became part of that spectacle when it noted that, for CEO Larry Page, solving cancer "may not be a big enough task."
On the other hand, will we recoil from genetic engineering with the gut reaction that being "transhuman," synthetically modifying our genes, somehow makes us "less than human"? Much is at stake. For many dangerously sick children, genetic engineering may be the most powerful, if not the only, tool. Not only can we use it. I think we must.
Earlier this year, a researcher from Japan, Masashito Tachibana, wrote a landmark article in the journal Nature ("Towards germline gene therapy of inherited mitochondrial diseases"). It laid the groundwork for gene engineering in the "germline" cells that get passed to future generations.
It would allow for the birth of the first transhumans. And future offspring would forever carry this additional code. Do we want that? These are open questions. We will confront them in our very generation.
Jim Kozubek, of Cambridge, Mass., is a computational biologist and a science writer. He is writing a book on gene therapy and genetic engineering in humans.

hi, i have got eliot coleman's book four season harvest and have decided to build a low tunnel to grow vegetables during the winter.
my plan is to use 2 by 4 lumber to build a frame 6 x 12 feet then use 1/2 inch pvc for the hoops and cover it with poly film. would appreciate any help or suggestions. thanks paul |

I've never read the book, but I have a similar set-up over my raised beds right now. I used 3/4" irrigation tubing (about $12 for 100' at Home Depot here) and used 1" copper pipe hangers (I think that's what they're called, maybe straps? U-shaped things ...) that I also got at HD. Make sure you check the prices on different packs. I think the one we got had 12 and was less than $2. We also cut off about 1" pieces of the tubing, cut the side and use them for clips to hold the row cover. I'd be careful about using them on plastic though, may poke holes in it. The tubing does have quite a bit of sway in the wind with the row covers, but while covered in plastic to the ground, it's been stable. I noticed a huge improvement in the temps of the beds when I covered them with blankets under the plastic. It was 29 or so the other night, with the blankets nothing went below maybe 35? I go out in the morning and remove blankets, and sometimes plastic so the plants get more sunshine, and wrap it all back up mid-afternoon, before the chill comes back (I am in zone 5). They heat up fast in the morning. They get up to the high 80's - low 90's pretty quickly (I'd say by 10 or 11 am). That's with 50's outside I'm using a 6 mil plastic. It likely won't survive a long time in the sun, but I had it, so that's what I'm using. |
thanks greenbean. i started on the wood frame today and should have the pvc hoops in place by tomorrow. i will be using the u shaped pipe straps as you did. now i am shopping for 6 mil film online. it is pricey. about $30 plus $10 shipping for a 20x10 foot sheet. this is with uv protection and a 4 yr warranty.where did you get your film? paul |
- Posted by greenbean08 5 CO (My Page) on Wed, Oct 22, 08 at 2:06
I actually bought it from a guy on CraigsList this summer. Check Home Depot, Lowe's or a farm & ranch store around. I didn't get the UV stabilized kind, just regular construction type stuff. I think it's about $50 for a 10' x 100' roll maybe? |
I do this with landscape timbers and half inch pvc. i just set rebar spikes into the landscape timbers every 2 ft. and leave about 6 or 8 inches sticking up. i put the pvc on one rebar and bow it over to the other side shoving it over another rebar making the bow for the roof. i run a single support down the center of the tunnel supported at the ends by steel posts an in the center if needed (depends on what i use for support). i tape the bows to the center support to keep them from shifting out of place. cover with 6 mil from Lowes rolling the edges in a 1 x 2 and nailing it to landscape timber. leave plenty of excess plastic on one end and roll it around a 4 x4 or something for an access point. this is about as cheap as it gets. Greenhouse film is not very cost effective and keeping it in good shape for reuse is dificult. Note: the 100 ft. rolls are cheaper per foot. Check local greenhouses for film suppliers if that is what you want. Most of them will help and shipping can run up cost. They may know a local supplyer. |
I open out my tomato baskets,place it over the crop I want to protect,cover w/ greenhouse film(thick clear painters plastic will work) then use the cane poles I used earlier for pole beans to roll up extra plastic on the sides then pen it down w/ large landscape staples. No more exspense and I get double duty in the garden Peggy |

John Kurth - Many sales people agree that asking questions is a key component of discovering the prospect's needs, wants, and desires, which are essential to making the sale. It is the level of detail of the types of questions and asking the questions with precision that separates the average salesperson from a Top-Producing Salesperson.
Top-Producing Salespeople write out all the possible questions they would want to ask a potential customer and then objectively choose the most effective probing questions and probing statements to use in their sales presentation. The probing questions and probing statements are then scripted for maximum selling effectiveness. A Top-Producing Salesperson decides, in advance, what is the best order and sequence to ask those probing questions.
Probing questions are pretty self-explanatory and Probing Statements encourage a prospect to reveal other important information that will help the Top-Producing Salesperson to close the sale.
Here are two examples of probing statements:
1. "Tell me more about that." or
2. "Describe to me your investment style."
Think about how you can best use probing questions and probing statements to close more sales.
Sales scripts are one of the most powerful ways to persuade and sell your prospects. Sales scripts can help transform you into a Top-producing Salesperson, only if you know the keys.

"Istanbul, Construction of Self, and Urban Landscape through Rituals"
B Deniz Calis-Kural, Istanbul Bilgi University
My research is focused on the construction of self and landscape in the early modern Istanbul. My focus is on a particular poetic genre called Sehrengiz which as I propose was a subtext for dissident rituals practiced by a covert mystic group. I would like to compare these covert rituals to publicly accepted and commonly practiced garden rituals, where as I propose that the contrast and the challenge between gardens and landscape, between different genres of poetry, and, diverse groups of urban population create a dynamic scene and set the stage for the early modernity in Ottoman Istanbul as early as 16th century.
Following our plenary talk, which proposes a relation between rituals and the first park of Mexico City, I will also suggest a relation between dissident rituals and recreational open spaces, where one of these open spaces, later in the 18th century will become a very important public commons - if not a European park.

Facts about Esmerelda
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Or Chocolate (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Esmerelda!
Esmerelda's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Esmerelda's Story...
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
All fosters are spayed/neutered, current on shots, microchipped, dewormed and defleaed, and tested for FIV/Feline Leukemia.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
Esmerelda, "Esme", is the perfect blend of cat and kitten. She is an adult at a light 7 pounds so she is past the kitten phase but she still entertains you as she plays with her ball. She's an interactive cat who enjoys talking to you and napping with you. She shows appreciation every day for having a loving, safe place to live. Pictures do not do justice to her unique coloration.
We believe Esme must be one of the original pet cats that were left behind when he property owners moved off. A neighbor started feeding them as the number of cats quickly to 38. When she was trapped, it was not known that she was friendly and she was taken in and fixed with everyone else, therefore, she has a clipped ear. Her 'badge' of having survived outside.

contributory negligence
contributory negligence
In law, behaviour that contributes to one's own injury or loss and fails to meet the standard of prudence that one should observe for one's own good. Contributory negligence of the plaintiff is frequently pleaded in defense to a charge of negligence. In Engish law and in the law of many U.S. states, if the plaintiff is shown to have contributed through negligence to his own injury, recovery may still be allowed, but provision is made for an equitable reduction of damages. Contributory negligence has been criticized by some authorities because it effectively excuses one party (the defendant) even though both were negligent.

BUTTE - The Highland Mountains south of Butte could become the site for a 20 acre underground gold mine by the end of this year.
Timberline Resources of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is currently in the permitting process of the Butte Highlands Joint Venture project, which lies about 15 miles south of Butte.
Vice President of Exploration Steve Osterberg spoke to the Big Hole Watershed Committee about the project on Wednesday evening.
Water discharge would flow into three drainages, and eventually flow into the Big Hole watershed. Osterberg says the water discharge flow will be monitored continuously to ensure it meets environmental standards.
"I think with the regulations they have now that they're following it sounds like they have it covered and they're very sincere in doing a good job and a matter of fact because of their bond they're probably required to do a good job,"Big Hole Watershed Committee Member Jim Hagenbarth said.
Mining operations could begin by the end of this year if the permitting process is approved by this Fall.

Nice specimen! I sometimes get spontaneous berry set on a few of my Alocasias, including A. odora, A. odora 'Indian' and A. "Borneo Giant". Usually this happens when you have more than one flower open at a time and/or you have multiple plants blooming. I noticed that bees will "rob" my blooms of pollen and they probably contribute to spontaneous pollination. If someone within a mile or so of you has an Alocasia x calidora, the bees might have done the work for you. This is one reason why I need to see the seedlings from berries of crosses I've done before I'm sure of hybridity, as I have been fooled in the past when I got berries from what I thought was a cross, but they turned out not to be hybrids after all!

Yes, that must be what happened. There was more than one flower open on the plant at the same time. Thanks for the info. Your Borneo Giant is awesome!!!! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Coale!
Facts about Coale
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Coale's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Clint and Coale are an adorable sibling pair. They love to cuddle together and romp and play. Coale is the quieter of the two. She is very sweet and likes people. She is very sleek and look exotic.
Other Pets at Kitten Krazy, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Coale, a Medina Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Medina, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Medina.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Medina already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Medina breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Medina paves the way for another one to be saved.

Enchanting!!! We couldn't have possible pick a more enchanting place to stay while we visited Palm Springs!!
And how lucky we were to meet and enjoy the company of most gracious Joe & Arlene, hosts to this most beautiful little acre of lush greenery and romantic rooms. This visit was like a dream come true. Everything was perfect. We hope to return someday to make another beautiful memory.
Gorgeous and friendly
My wife and I spent 6 glorious days at Monte Vista! Casa Vista was perfect and the pool and grounds are spectacular. The mountain views are great and Joe and Arlene are gracious and friendly hosts. Just a short walk to downtown through Old Las Palmas past all the beautiful homes. We will certainly return in the near future.
Luxurious accomodations
What an amazing luxurious place. We loved the casita, it had everything you would need. The grounds were awesome. I spent most of my time sitting out in the beautiful garden and relaxing,having cocktails by the pool. Joe and Lisa are very welcoming. You could'nt ask for better hosts. Will definatly come back. Didn't want to leave. Highly recommend Casa de Monte Vista!
We just returned from our wedding and stay at Casa De Monte Vista. What a beautiful place! The casita was spacious and comfortable and the entire place is quiet, quaint and beautiful. We felt like we had it all to ourselves. Joe was very helpful and accommodated us wonderfully. He even brought us an extra bottle of champagne at the reception when we were running low. This place is great and the only thing that could make it better is if it was a bed and breakfast. It is also only a short walk from town.
Best Wedding Venue
I couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to get married! And Joe was so nice and helpful. Everything was perfect! We are even going back for our one year anniversary.
We spent a wonderful afternoon and evening attending a friend's wedding here. A truly beautiful, peaceful and private place with lawns, fountains, sky high trees and birds and nature all around! A magical setting for any event or just a private getaway. We live in Palm Springs and look forward to returning very soon! Thank you also to the lovely owners who made each of us feel so welcome and right at home.
Simply the Best
Our son was married here last weekend and we both agreed that this is absolutely the most beautiful and perfect Wedding Venue in the desert. Seventy five guests, everything was elegant and very organized and we were made to feel like guests of a family member in the most romantic, well cared for home.
The owners were extremely helpful during the whole process of planning this perfect wedding. Joe has a list of the best services (florist, wedding planners, caterers, etc.) and he shared all of this with us.
Once again, this oasis, nestled against the mountains, is fantastic for all the right reasons.
Great place to relax
I highly recommend anyone looking for a unique place to stay at Casa de Monte Vista. The property is peaceful, the pool is great, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. Walkable to downtown bars and restaurants - great location! 5 stars!
Oasis in the heart of Palm Springs
I spent five days at Casa de Monte Vista because I wanted a nice, quiet place to get some work done on my latest manuscript without the hustle and bustle of a hotel. The people and place exceeded my expectations. The casitas are lovely and comfortable, the grounds and pool are perfectly kept, and the location is walking distance or a short bike or car ride to everything (restaurants, bars, golf, hiking, galleries, and shopping). The owners are super friendly and helpful making this estate truly an oasis in the heart of Palm Springs.
A memorable corporate event!
Our company along with 4 other partner companies hosted an industry event at Casa De Monte Vista this May. The event turned out to be a success and one that our guests will remember time after time.
Joe and Arlene were such a pleasure to work with and they paid attention to every little detail. The place looked fabulous for our event and the caterer had prepared such wonderful dishes that my mouth is still watering. I am truly thankful for all that Arlene and Joe did to make our corporate event a success and to assist us in impressing our guests and giving them an event to remember.
