The most widely used everlastings, statice has a large flower head of small, papery blooms on stiff stems. The small flowers are held in dense, large clusters above the gray-green foliage. They are unsurpassed for fresh and dried arrangements. Statice is easy to grow and salt tolerant. Seeds can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting or sown directly outdoors. Division may be done in early to late spring or root cuttings can be taken in mid-winter and grown indoors or in a coldframe until spring. It is resistant to deer and will bloom all summer long.

I am a person who happens to have diabetes. I have had Type I diabetes sinces I am 14yrs old, which I am realy must think about any thing I eating. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin. This type of diabetes can be further classified as immune-mediated or idiopathic. The majority of type 1 diabetes is of the immune-mediated variety, where beta cell loss is a T-cell mediated autoimmune attack.[3] There is no known preventive measure which can be taken against type 1 diabetes; it is about 10% of diabetes mellitus cases in North America and Europe (though this varies by geographical location), and is a higher percentage in some other areas. Most affected people are otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight when onset occurs. Sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin are usually normal, especially in the early stages. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but was traditionally termed "juvenile diabetes" because it represents a majority of the diabetes cases in children. The principal treatment of type 1 diabetes, even in its earliest stages, is the delivery of artificial insulin via injection combined with careful monitoring of blood glucose levels using blood testing monitors. Without insulin, diabetic ketoacidosis often develops which may result in coma or death. Treatment emphasis is now also placed on lifestyle adjustments (diet and exercise) though these cannot reverse the progress of the disease. Apart from the common subcutaneous injections, it is also possible to deliver insulin by a pump, which allows continuous infusion of insulin 24 hours a day at preset levels, and the ability to program doses (a bolus) of insulin as needed at meal times. An inhaled form of insulin was approved by the FDA in January 2006, although it was discontinued for business reasons in October 2007. [9][10] Non-insulin treatments, such as monoclonal antibodies and stem-cell based therapies, are effective in animal models but have not yet completed clinical trials in humans. Type 1 treatment must be continued indefinitely in essentially all cases. Treatment need not significantly impair normal activities, if sufficient patient training, awareness, appropriate care, discipline in testing and dosing of insulin is taken. However, treatment is burdensome for patients; insulin is replaced in a non-physiological manner, and this approach is therefore far from ideal. The average glucose level for the type 1 patient should be as close to normal (80–120 mg/dl, 4–6 mmol/l) as is safely possible. Some physicians suggest up to 140–150 mg/dl (7-7.5 mmol/l) for those having trouble with lower values, such as frequent hypoglycemic events. Values above 400 mg/dl (20 mmol/l) are sometimes accompanied by discomfort and frequent urination leading to dehydration. Values above 600 mg/dl (30 mmol/l) usually require medical treatment and may lead to ketoacidosis, although they are not immediately life-threatening. However, low levels of blood glucose, called hypoglycemia, may lead to seizures or episodes of unconsciousness and absolutely must be treated immediately, via emergency high-glucose gel placed in the patient's mouth or an injection of glucagon.
My Diabetes Life..... Hurrrrr...........

“Wow, your performance sounds very interested.” My friends always said that when I performed my piano recital, I was totally proud when I heard something like that from them. Despite someone think that I’m showoff or boast but if my music can fascinate people, that’s ok.
Playing piano is one of my favorite things that I do when I’m free from classes, when I play piano, I can go deep in and feel the aesthetics of music. Many people ask me why I play classical music, while I also listen to Pop. To answer them is very easy, because I have been surrounding with classical music when I was young, so, I play Classic.
I began to play piano when I was a little boy with Italian pianist, Mr. Fabio Fazioli, who gave me a skill from basic to advanced skills from simple major scale to minor including arpeggio of many chords, which you can see from many piano solo compositions. All of these made my piano recital perfect and correct in theory and become a part of my life, that’s why many people are fascinating in my music.
Not only playing music when I’m free, I also teach young boys and girls who interested in piano music. Not teach them as being a future career but I teach them to use music as mind altering method. If it’s possible, I will invite my students, friends and my parents to participate in my mini piano solo concert in my garden to make them happy together.
Lastly, music is not only the thing entertains us but also purifies our mind, it like a brain tuning or brain refreshment when we feel dull and this make us ready for a new day.
