It is now generally accepted that human diabetes is an immune disorder. There seems no reason to suppose that feline diabetes is any different. This particular immune disorder has the form of failure of the pancreas to produce insulin.

An immune system brakes down because of the burden put upon it, mostly a chemical burden. When you consider all the chemicals most pets are subject to, there is little wonder their immune systems go on strike. Drugs, vaccinations, pesticides in the garden, harsh cleaners in the house, but perhaps worse of all by virtue of it's frequent ingestion, are the preservatives in their daily diet.

A typical cat food is processed and comes in a box, packet or can. The dried cat food must contain high levels of preservative to keep it at room temperature, indefinitely, despite what the packet may say. Believe me, there's no other way to have such a long shelf life.

Cats are particularly sensitive to chemicals, so readily succumb to them. A stay in a cattery may well overload them, as most catteries fastidiously clean their pens with strong disinfectants or bleach, to ensure there's no cross contamination.

There are several things you can do immediately, to help your cat overcome this serious disease, even if they have had it a while. You never know how much good you can do until you try.

A good diabetic cat food, like any good cat food, is as close to that of a wild cats food as possible. Cats have evolved to efficiently use raw food. They can't use processed and cooked food in the same way, as they lack the nutrients destroyed by cooking.

Once you have your cat regularly eating good quality raw food, she may need less insulin. And if it isn't too far advanced, there's no reason why she shouldn't recover completely. Recovery from serious disease is not uncommon when the cause is addressed. Ensuring your cat only eats a healthy, high quality, raw, diet, at the very least will reduce her need for insulin.

One of the best gifts I ever gave was a ceramic plate. Given to a dear friend on the occasion of her daughter's baptism, the plate was hand-painted in pink and pale green and featured a cross, just as I had specified. The baby's name and baptism date were spelled out in hand-drawn, whimsical letters. I can still recall that feeling of giddy anticipation as I waited for my friend to unwrap that plate. Here was a gift I would have made myself, just for my friend, if only I possessed the talent. Because I don't, I did the next best thing: I asked a talented artist to personalize her work to my specifications and together we created a one-of-a-kind gift that I know my friend—and in time, her daughter—will cherish forever. After all, this gift was handmade just for them.

I've been giving personalized gifts ever since: a monogrammed dress for a first birthday, a ceramic cross with the name of a niece making her first communion, even a key chain featuring the hand-painted portrait of a friend's beloved dog. For the next friend who has a baby, I'll turn a practical gift into a stylish one by ordering monogrammed pacifier clips (those handy gadgets that keep pacifiers connected to baby's clothing). I'm officially regretting the run-of-the-mill gift card I gave my son's teacher at the end of the school year; a ceramic plate featuring hand-painted portraits of the children in the class would have meant so much more. And if I could do my wedding over again, I'd give myself and everyone in attendance a gift by ordering a custom-made wedding program that features hand-drawn pictures of each person in the wedding party!

I've discovered there is no end to the type of occasion that can benefit from a personalized gift. Think beyond baby showers, birthdays, and baptisms. Have a friend who recently adopted a child? Help the new family start a tradition of celebrating the day their child arrived, which is sometimes called Gotcha Day or Adoption Day. This is a perfect way to establish an annual family tradition of honoring your child and emphasizing just how special and unique he or she is. Your gift can be as elaborate as a custom painting of the new family (you provide details like hair color and clothing color) or as simple and inexpensive as a box of sugar cookies featuring the continent of the child's birth. Whatever you choose, your personalized, handmade gift is proof that you cared enough to give something extra special.

Know someone who recently suffered a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or another type of untimely loss? When words feel insufficient or escape you altogether, a personalized gift can provide the comfort you long to give. Jewelry etched with a message you chose, a quilt made of fabric you selected, or a portrait drawn from a picture you provided are gifts that will be cherished forever.

When it comes to giving gifts, nothing says you care better than a personalized gift. For a complete selection of unique, handmade personalized gifts to mark any occasion, from births to weddings to memorials, visit http://www.cccgifts.com today.

Garden gnomes first came on the scene in Germany in the early 19th Century and appeared in England in around 1840. Folklore held them to be beneficial to the growth of garden produce, as well as attractors of good luck.

History tells us that Sir Charles Isham, the 10th Baronet of Lamport Hall, was the first proud owner of a garden gnome. In fact he brought back 21 of them from Germany and set them up in his garden rockery.  Only one of the original batch of gnomes survives: Lampy, as he is known, is on display at Lamport Hall, and is insured for one million pounds. His picture is on the left.

The original statues were hand crafted from terracotta, which remained the material of choice right up until the 1960s. These clay garden gnomes were often cherished, collectible ornaments that stayed in the family and were passed down through the generations.

Philip Griebel and August Heissner started mass producing garden gnomes in around 1872. Within a short time Heissner Gnomes became famous around the world. Far from the “tacky” image of today’s gnomes, these were considered to be works of art which brought luck to the owners.

Many of these early gnomes were beautifully made, often quite large (up to a meter) and incredibly finely-detailed. Although most remained in the garden, some found their way into wealthy homes as house ornaments or door guardians.

Gnome mythology goes back hundreds of years – early depictions show gnomes as white-bearded, wizened old men, often misshapen and generally very short.

Early gnomes were somewhat serious fellows, and remained so right up until Walt Disney’s “Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs” gave us a glimpse of what was to come.

The film was produced in 1937 but unfortunately, two years later, World War II pretty much wiped out gnome production right across Europe.

Production remained limited until the 1960s when modern plastics and resins gave the opportunity for cheap true mass production of the bright, cheerfully-painted garden gnomes we know today.

Today, there are few remaining ceramic gnome manufacturers, with most being made from plastic in Eastern Europe and the Far East.

Gnomes are very popular with suburban gardeners, with many feeling that having gnomes dotted about creates a good overall impression of their garden, adding humor and panache to the design.

However nowadays there is a real worry that gnomes displayed in the front yard will disappear overnight (the recession maybe?), and it is claimed that they are the most frequently stolen garden decoration. “Gnome Rustlers,” perhaps?

So, Love ‘em or hate ‘em, garden gnomes have been around for about 150 years and they look like they’re going to be around for another 150.

Coupla last snippets:

· Gnomes are banned from the Chelsea Flower Show because the organizers claim they detract from garden designs.

· Garden gnomes have been banned from cemeteries by the Diocese of Bath and Wells (in England – where else?) because leaders say they are "unnatural creatures". Along with plastic flowers and other decorations such as teddy bears, they have been called "inappropriate and tacky”!

· In France there is even a “French Liberation Front of Garden Gnomes”…
