If it has persisted for close to 6 months with no trend towards improvement, the most efficient treatment is surgical drainage, which is a simple procedure that is performed in the ophthalmologist's office. As a conservative measure he can treat the chalazion with an effective

My left lower eyelid would get swollen as if there was a build up of fluid, so I do the a
and cold
to see which one helps, and also take Benadryl. After a day or so it seems to go away. Now it is on my upper eyelids only, one eye at a time. Normally it is the left and today it is the right. Takes a few days but it goes away. It also makes the sides of my face itchy but my eyes never have problems. Sometimes the night before it happens they get real dry and itchy.

Hello, As you have described your symptoms could be due to allergens. The symptoms of blepharitis and dermatitis can be relived by lid hygiene. It includes softening the lid margins, removal of lid margin debris, applying an ophthalmic antibiotic & steroid ointments and avoiding the use of eye make up. Application of hot compress could further facilitate recovery. This needs to be practiced long term for relief from repeated attacks of blepharitis.

. I've told the doctor and he says I'm imagining things, but my mom and I can see that it is definitely swollen. I've tried eye drops for allergies, but they only make my eye red.I'm sure it's not an infection since there is no itching or pain associated with the eyelid.

I'm not sure of
drops but I find
compresses have helped quite a bit... but my eyes aren't the worst part of my allergies so I'm not sure if it would help as much if your eyes are really inflamed/itchy.

I think I may have either been bitten by a bug, or more likely, was burned in that spot by a piece of
metal spark from welding. The
part of my artery has extended from my eye area, a bit out towards the ear, and also well up my forehead and onto the front part of the top of my head. It seems to be aggravated by sun and activity; it seems to wax and wane a bit according to my rest level/exposure to heat/sun.

I washed all of my makeup off, rinsed my face with water. Wednesday - my
was still
and itched more (no makeup on). Thursday - my eye really hurts now and the swelling is soo itchy that it burns! Up close the swelling looks red and a little dry on the surface. It is swollen just at the root of my eyelashes (bottom lid) I try not to touch it but I don't know what else I can do to get rid of it. I thought it was makeup irritant but it doesn't seem like it.

Yesterday both my
lids were
and painful. Nothing seems to help the pain,
drops, ice,
, nothing. Today my left eye is fine but my right eye hurts so bad. Every time I blink the pain shoots from eye. It looks a little swollen, but doesn't look too bad. My eye isn't pink and it doesn't look like anything is in my eye. I haven't worn my contacts since the pain started. What is happening?
Read More
Non infectious causes are allergies, chemicals and injury. Sometimes
eyes can occur with other inflammations or infections of other parts of the
like iris, cornea, lens etc. It's important that an element of injury needs to be ruled out so you will need to consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

It was repeated through the next day just the same, not getting better or worse. The next day however it had almost cleared up completely. Today, however, much worse.

It turns out I was having an alergic reaction to something.

Sounds like an ingrown hair or maybe a
gland. Apply
compresses and don't be surprised if it drains. If you are worried, you can see a Dermatologist. Not an uncommon problem, so don't be embarrassed or worry yourself too much. Good luck.

Hi all,
We changed a channel over to BBC Three in time for the sex season that they were airing. Unfortunately the signal was acting up and would drop at intervals - I was only able to record a couple of uninterrupted episodes. Luckily a lot of it was repeats of the previous days!
Does anyone have the following episodes available?
- Tuesday January 10 – 04:25 – How sex works (1/3)
- Tuesday January 17 – 03:30 – How sex works (2/3)
- Sunday, 22st Jan (12:15AM) – Table Dancing Diaries
Oh, and a personal request that was also aired on BBC Three ;)
- Saturday, 21st Jan (9:30PM) – Enemy of the State
There were a couple episodes with no series numbers. I assumed that these were a single episode however I just wanted to confirm.
- Is oral sex safe
- Websex: What's the harm?
- Cherry Healey: Like a Virgin
- Coming out Diaries
They were all repeated throughout the month on different days.

QUESTION: For years I've only been seeing small bucks in my area, with only an occasional mature buck. Should I find a better hunting spot, or should I stick it out? - Joe B.
ANSWER: As is so often the case, without more detailed information, the best I can do is speculate.
The fact you're seeing small bucks is not necessarily a bad sign.
So much depends on the type and amount of hunting pressure your area receives, but if you let these small bucks go, obviously they will grow into bigger bucks.
The fact that you're seeing an occasional mature buck is an even better sign.
Even in well-managed populations, mature bucks are far fewer in numbers than young bucks. This means, all other things being equal, you will see fewer large bucks.
But, all other things are never equal. In addition to being scarcer, mature bucks are also cagier, which means you will see a smaller percentage of those that do exist - that is, unless you're running trail cameras. There's a good hint for locating the old boys and verifying they are present.
In short, if I were in your situation, I'd likely stick it out.

How to download files faster on the Samsung Galaxy S5
'Download Booster' is as simple as it gets - you just have to know that the option exists. On most Galaxy S5, to enable download booster, you need to first have enabled Mobile Data and Wi-Fi, and then slide down from the top to bring the notification shade. Slide the toggles to the left, and - by default - that's where the 'Download Booster' mode resides.
If you cannot find it there, make sure to double-check: just open Settings and look for the Download Booster icon. By default, it's a blue icon appearing at the top-most row, and you can enable it from there as well.
Some Galaxy S5 devices, however, might lack this new mode. In fact, the three biggest US carriers - Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint - have negotiated to have the feature removed to avoid having their networks hogged. The only big US carrier that seemingly supports it for the moment is T-Mobile.
Finally, keep in mind that by using your 4G LTE connection to download large files, you'll quickly deplete your monthly data allowance. Moreover, you may run into overage fees on some carriers. The 'Download Booster' could be a useful feature for those times when you need to get files as quickly as possible, but make sure to use it with caution.

Can this be ported to any other phone or it is a hardware limitation?
2. Victor.H (Posts: 462; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Yes, it seems it's been ported to at least the Galaxy S4. Look it up on Xda.

Typical talk s**t about Samsung then steal their phone feature. Lol!

Thankfully I got an unlimited LTE plan that isn't capped.

There's no such thing

It's $70 for me. ;)
12. TheNeighbor (Posts: 111; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
It's just $47 monthly for my unlimited LTE plan, with 150 minutes of calls after 200 sms free. It's supposed to slow down to 3G speed after 1.5GB, but it doesn't happen. I could use over 60 GB monthly.

I have unlimited LTE with Sprint. I have been getting about 13-20mbps down. Not quite my Comcast WI-FI connection, but definitely useable.
18. Mr.Verizon (Posts: 23; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
yes there is, i still have unlimited data with my verizon plan. although i have to purchase my phones at full price i do use between 50-70gb per month depending on what im downloading
and since i do manage a store anyway, i was able to score a note 3 when verizon's systems were letting people keep their unlimited data the first week of october last year. i don't expect to get that lucky again though.
4. joe1blue (Posts: 128; Member since: 25 Jul 2013)
Now this is where Samsung needs to start to push their weight around phone Companies Should Not just be able to remove a feature from this phone like that. If I'm paying for the data let me use it the way i want If im on unlimited or if limited. These phone companies are full of jokes I have Sprint service but Big Ups to T mobile! For keeping it real
5. twens (Posts: 700; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
It's funny how only Sammy seems to utilize the power of what android can do. Other android phones are trying so hard to be plain and boring like the iPhone and they wonder why they are not selling like sammy. Maybe when they learn to throw in some few gimmicks/features and tricks maybe people will start buying their phones. For me I live in Africa and don't always have internet available but my Samsung phone comes preloaded with lots of features I don't need to download special apps from the playstore. Samsung phones are like windows PC. It does almost everything and that's why I love sammy.

Wonderful. I'm confused.. S5 or K Zoom or wait for a Mega 2? I just can't seem to choose which one to buy ..
15. cheeseycheeser (Posts: 399; Member since: 24 Mar 2011)
Just from their past versions, the S5! Without a doubt it'll get the most support, but the og Galaxy Zoom didn't even have that good of a camera, and the Mega was not nearly as speedy as the S4.
16. The13thKing (banned) (Posts: 849; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
Yes, you are right, the S5 is surely the best phone out there with all the goodies it has.. but it seems tempting thinking about the S5 Zoom.. And I have a Mega right now and enjoy the split screen option so much .. but yes, I think I'll be getting an S5 next month ..
14. deewinc (Posts: 192; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
The feature would have been more meaningful if the phone is set to ping on several WiFis around.

What is Drought?
According to the National Drought Mitigation Center, a drought is a normal,
recurrent feature of climate. Drought is a temporary aberration; it differs from
aridity, which is restricted to low rainfall regions and is a permanent feature
of climate. Although considered a rare and random event, drought occurs in
virtually all-climatic zones.
As an
insidious hazard of nature, it originates from a deficiency of precipitation
over an extended period of time, usually a season or more.
drought should not be viewed as merely a physical phenomenon or natural event.
Its impacts on society result from the interplay between a natural event (less
precipitation than expected resulting from natural climatic variability) and the
demand people place on the water supply.
What are the impacts of a Drought?
There is a complex web of impacts that spans many sectors of the economy and
reaches well beyond the area experiencing physical drought. There are two types
of impacts: direct and indirect.
examples of direct impacts are reduced crop, rangeland, and forest productivity;
increased fire hazard, reduced water levels, and damage to wildlife and fish
habitats. Indirect impacts are the consequences of the direct impacts. For
example: a reduction crop, rangeland, and forest productivity may result in
reduced income for farmers and agribusiness, increased prices for food and
timber, unemployment, reduced tax revenues because of reduced expenditures and
disaster relief programs.
The impacts
of drought can be categorized as economic, environmental, or social. Droughts
also bring increased problems with insects and diseases to forests and reduce
growth. The incidence of forest and range fires increases substantially during
extended droughts, which in turn places both human and wildlife populations at
higher levels of risk. Drought is also associated with increases in insect
infestations, plant disease, and wind erosion.
environmental losses are difficult to quantify, growing public awareness and
concern for environmental quality has forced public officials to focus greater
attention and resources on these effects.
The social
impacts involve public safety, health, conflicts between water users, reduced
quality of life, and inequities in the distribution of impacts and disaster
to the National Drought Mitigation Center predicting drought a month or more in
advance is complex. Currently, scientists don't know how to predict drought in
advance for most locations. Predicting drought depends on the ability to
forecast two fundamental meteorological surface parameters, precipitation and
temperature. From the historical record we know that climate in inherently
variable. Anomalies of precipitation and temperature may last from several
months to several decades.
conducted over the past century have shown that meteorological drought is never
the result of a single cause. Global weather patterns have been the topic of
research in recent years. These patterns tend to recur periodically with enough
frequency and with similar characteristics over a sufficient length of time to
offer opportunities to improve the ability for long-range climate prediction.
High pressure inhibits cloud formation and results in lower relative humidity
and less precipitation. The immediate cause of drought is the predominant
sinking motion of air (subsidence) that results in compressional warming or high
droughts occur when large-scale anomalies in the atmospheric circulation patters
persist for months or season. It is now known that a major portion of the
atmospheric variability that occurs on time scales of months to several years is
associated with variations in tropical sea surface temperature.
potential for improved drought predictions in the near future differs by region,
season, and climatic regime. For more information on drought visit the links

New leader aims to build on Communities In Schools success
By DOUG CARDER, Herald Senior Writer | 6/9/2014
Becky Nevergold sat alone in her tiny office in the two-story brick building on the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets in Ottawa.
It was fall 2007, and the executive director of Communities In Schools of Ottawa wasn't sure where to begin, she said.
Becky Nevergold sat alone in her tiny office in the two-story brick building on the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets in Ottawa.
It was fall 2007, and the executive director of Communities In Schools of Ottawa wasn't sure where to begin, she said.
The former principal of Hawthorne Elementary School had been tasked with launching an after school program for the school district by former superintendent Dean Katt after Hawthorne closed in May 2007.
"Dean Katt wanted to keep me as an administrator, but he didn't know exactly what to do with me," Nevergold said, smiling. "He wanted an after school program. I was in the process of helping Hawthorne close, but I got that grant written and we started the after school program in the fall of 2007 with Emma Thayer as the after school program coordinator at Garfield [Elementary School]."
Then Katt came to Nevergold with another idea, she said.
"He had heard of this [national] organization called Communities In Schools," Nevergold recalled. "He had no idea what it could be but thought it could tie in with the after school program. Communities In Schools [of Ottawa] officially got its start in March 2008, so it kind of started backward because we started with a [after school] program before we were actually an organization.
"I literally remember walking into that little office upstairs [at the former school district central office] and I sat there, not sure what to do," Nevergold said, laughing.
But under Nevergold's leadership — accompanied by a strong board and good volunteers, she said — the program quickly grew.
Nevergold, who will retire as Communities In Schools executive director June 30, and incoming executive director Rachel Smith recently sat down to talk about Communities In Schools' roots in Ottawa and the organization's direction for the future.
The Reach for the Stars after school program has been an integral part of the organization's partnership with the Ottawa school district, Nevergold and Smith said. Starting with 60 students at Garfield in 2007, the program grew to 150 students by the end of the school year and at present could accommodate 200 students, with a waiting list at each school building, Nevergold said.
But Nevergold and Smith, who just wrapped up her second three-year term on the Communities In Schools board, are quick to point out the after school program is one of more than three dozen programs and activities Communities In Schools is involved in each year.
students' lives
During the 2012-2013 school year, Communities In Schools provided accessible prevention and intervention services, known as its Level I programs, to 1,854 students or 78 percent of Ottawa school district's student population, according to its 2012-2013 annual report.
Some of the organization's Level I programs include an after school program for kindergarten through fifth-grade students, K-5 Weekend Warriors BackSnack program, K-12 YouthFriends Mentoring program, 6-12 WhyTry resilience education program, and an annual Day on the Job event. Other grade-level events include Scrubby Bear handwashing program for kindergartners, bike safety/helmet head program for second-graders, Brilliant Bookworms for third-graders, disability awareness program for fourth-graders and Careers on Wheels for fifth-graders.
Communities In Schools is funded through a variety of sources, including grants, foundation gifts/grants, corporate sponsors, organizations individual donors and fundraisers.
Another important piece of CIS of Ottawa's work is the one-on-one case management counseling and mentoring work undertaken by the group's site coordinators as part of its Level II program.
"There were about 200 or 210 Level II students this [2013-2014] school year, and the year before we had 90," Nevergold said. "We hit a critical mass last year when we were able to put Cassie Myers [Ottawa High School site coordinator] and Steven Lane [Ottawa Middle School site coordinator] in the buildings full time."
Michelle McCalley and Lisa Rivers are the part-time site coordinators at Eugene Field and Lincoln elementary schools, respectively, and Jamie Keiter is the Reach for the Stars after school program director.
"There are so many things [Communities In Schools] can do if you have people in buildings," Nevergold said. "Cassie started two years ago and asked the [OHS] staff to tell her what problems or needs there were at the school. She only received seven [needs assessments] back, and they all said basically there were no issues. She got 40 [needs assessments] back this spring. Cassie being there full-time has made a difference."
Communities In Schools strives to provide services that will make students want to come to school each day, Nevergold said.
"The No. 1 thing is to make it so kids want to come, and everything will fall into place," she said. "We have shown through mentoring programs that a child with bad attendance will come to school on the day when the mentor is going to be there."
Expanding CIS
Expanding Communities In Schools of Ottawa's mentoring efforts is one of Smith's goals for the program, the new executive director said.
"During my six years on the [CIS] board, I've seen it grow astronomically," Smith said. "It's completely different even than it was just two years ago. I want to build on what Becky has already put in place."
The Ottawa community has embraced Communities In Schools, Smith said, and she wants to grow the number of volunteers and mentors who assist the organization.
"We know one-on-one relationships are key to success in so many of these children's lives, and mentoring is a huge piece of that, whether it's coming in to have breakfast with a young child or tutoring an older child in math or you're sitting in a room listening to a student talk about their social life, all those things are mentoring. That's one of the programs we need to build on — all those children need to have people in their lives beyond the case manager."
Smith comes to Communities In Schools after spending more than 15 years on the staff at Ottawa University, 1001 S. Cedar St., Ottawa. As the director of annual giving, Smith raised more than $1 million in scholarship funds for students. For the past 10 years, she has been the development resources coordinator, doing prospect research and working on grants.
Smith's experience with writing grants and in fundraising should help her as she tries to raise more funds and obtain more grant monies for Communities In Schools, she said.
"Fundraising is all about relationships," Smith said. "Because we were a small staff [at OU], you did all the events and you're involved in every aspect of fundraising and engaged with the board. [Communities In Schools] a good fit, I think."
"It's a great fit," Nevergold was quick to add.
The Communities In Schools board is not an advisory board, it's a working board, Smith said.
Smith first became aware of Communities In Schools when she was looking for a project for a Franklin County Leadership class and Nevergold told her she needed someone to run the "BackSnack" program, she said.
"It really opened my eyes to the need that was in our community," she said.
Smith also wants to strengthen the organization's marketing efforts and work out some kinks with the organization's software program, she said.
Nevergold does not have any definite plans for retirement, she said.
"Numerous organizations have asked me to volunteer, but I haven't made any decisions yet," she said. "When you retire, as with any major change, you shouldn't make any big decisions right away."
As with the ever-changing needs in education, Communities In Schools is not a static organization, Nevergold said.
"You have to respond to needs and sometimes those can change very quickly," Nevergold said as she stood in the Communities In Schools office, located in a modular building behind the school district's central office, 1404 S. Ash St., Ottawa. "I have enjoyed watching [CIS] grow [since 2008]. We have had great boards and great volunteers, and I would put my staff up against any staff. They have big hearts and good brains, and I think that's a great combination — they are making a difference [in students' lives]."
Smith is looking forward to working with the staff, the Communities In Schools board, volunteers, school district staff and community and corporate partners to continue to expand the organization, she said.
"I'm just honored to have the opportunity to be a part of this organization in this capacity," she said. "It's exciting and challenging at the same time."

of my desk so that Instead of facing a blank southern wall, I'm facing west with windows on my right and the door to my left. I can't say that I noticed any increased writing speed, but I'm still writing regularly, so perhaps this orientation is helping with the creative flow. It is nice to be able to look outside."
Julia Cameron once commented that she and her former husband wrote at opposite ends of the house. I wondered whether a NINC couple shared their writing space, so I contacted Deni Dietz.
Deni, NINC member and Senior Editor at Five Star Mysteries, posted pictures of her writing office and favorite plotting space on her website at http://www.eclectics.com/denise/gallery.html. (A photo of Deni's wedding at a NINC conference is also posted on the page.) Deni's husband, author Gordon Aalborg (who also writes as Victoria Gordon), stated that he "would not share an office with my esteemed 'Senior Editor' wife under any circumstance whatsoever" although he did "promise Deni that if she would move to Canada and join me when I moved here from Australia in 2000, I would build her an office! With marriage (at the 2000 NINC convention in Vancouver) as a bonus, today-only offer! Knowing the real bait to lure in the hapless prey ... ROFL. But promises should be kept ... therefore when she did, I did, and the marriage is—dare I say it?—the better for having given her that office! And to her credit, it must be said, she has faithfully used that office almost daily and to excellent effect. However, the last time Deni's office was relatively uncluttered and in such shape that she could navigate it without a GPS unit was the day before she moved into it." However, his office, "upstairs in the same quaint, geriatric cottage wherein we reside, was clean, pristine and uncluttered only on the day I finished building it... but I have never needed a GPS because my office is about half the size of Deni's—a mere 8' x 11'. And I am a better organizer!
My office overlooks a staircase landing on one side and has a big window that is permanently covered by venetian blinds (and partly by reflective materials also) because it faces west and gets bloody awful hot on summer afternoons. Deni's office has windows on two sides and is nicely shaded by the overhang of the back deck.
"Both offices are vaguely similar, with built-in desks/counters on three sides in Deni's office and two in mine, and corner 'desktop' portions with slide-under keyboard shelves. That was the best alternative I could come up with to provide lots of desk-top space for our desk-top computers and all the clutter of extensive home office junk. Of which there is a lot! Both offices have a multitude of shelf space, drawer units, storage boxes, crates, racks, counter space as required…
"Both offices, of course, have bookshelves up the wazoo, but never enough bookshelves, because it is impossible for some people ever to have enough bookshelves! Both of our offices would probably qualify for one of those ghastly reality shows about hoarders, were it not a policy to at least try and maintain some semblance of order."
What does Deni add to what works for her in the office Gordon built? "I have a stuffed vulture atop my modem. Its name is Michael Seidman, after my first editor. When I work on my second (third, fourth, eighth) draft, I think: Would Michael take this word/sentence/paragraph out? The answer is almost always YES! And I have statuettes of a tortoise and a hare on my computer stand. As a book or story nears completion, the tortoise inches forward. Plus, I have a small ceramic frog seated in front of a crystal ball; inspiration for Toe of the Frog: The Da Vinci Toad, sequel to my 'reluctant witch' mystery, Eye of Newt. What doesn't work? When I clean my office so that it looks like one of those Mr. Clean commercials, all sparkly and pristine, I can't find anything."
It's obvious from the above authors' revelations that some writers find creative energy in spaces that reflect the chaos of ideas from which stories are drawn. I confess that while I begin a novel in the midst of order, that order is soon overwhelmed with piles of notes, research books and papers, along with the threering-binder in which I keep my draft, printing off my work at the end of each day.
Though I can write most anywhere, writing in my kitchen does seem to provide better results for fiction writing, a thought I expanded upon in my February 2011 column. The view from my writing chair is one of the most important elements to me, even though my focus is on the story and my gaze upon the computer screen. Facing a wall without windows shuts down my creativity. I once lived beside a pond, and loved writing on the screened-in porch that overlooked the water.
In exploring pictures of authors in their creative settings, I find it interesting how many authors share their space with dogs and cats. My dog lies at my feet when I write, and my long-haired Continued on page 17

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

I assumed that my husband would care as much as I did about having a clean apartment. For several years, I complained about the piles of clothes, books, and pizza boxes taking over our home before it dawned on me that my approach wasn't working. As much as Brian cared about me, he simply didn't care about having an unobstructed view of our floor.
When this hit me, I realized that it was time to start thinking like a Surprisologist. I tracked his pattern of behaviors and my pattern of complaints and devised a series of pattern interrupts.
The first included our dog Scarlett, pictured above.*
Pattern = our floor wears the dirty laundry.
Pattern interrupt = Scarlett wears it.
Subsequent interventions included: checklists, a bigger laundry basket, and even chorewars.com. The result? A cleaner and, more importantly, happier home. So how can pattern interrupts work for you to resolve home and workplace conflict?

We have made it through the darkness people!
Spring is almost here, March!
Day's are longer, weather is warming and flowers are blooming.
Just look at March last year... we had such glorious weather!
Lot's going on this month.
A few really good days out and meet up's with lovely blogging buddies! Cannot wait.
March is also a busy time at the allotment.. beds to prep, seeds to sow. A bit overwhelming, but we get there in the end. One thing I do want this year is an abundance of insect loving flowers, which will mean lots of cut flowers for the home too.
Also it will be Littlegreenshed's 2nd birthday. Aw terrible two's... I hope not.
So what are your plans this month?
p.s. I've put up my love list again. I missed it. Enjoy. x

|I just received Kirinmaru Peony from Springhill. The root is woody and the eyes are rather small but it looks healthy. This is the woodiest root of a herbaceous peony that I have ever seen. In fact, it appears that a portion of the root was sawed off rather than cut off. It will be interesting to see how this peony behaves compared to a normal tuberous root plant..
Follow-Up Postings:
|Yes it looks sawed off to me too. I think it will be OK as long as you have some buds. That large woody root portion contains lots of energy to get the division off to a good start. Al
|I purchased Kirinmaru in 2011 from a different company and mine looked the same as yours when it arrived. It only had two small eyes, but it did grow last Spring. I was just happy it was alive. Now I see this Spring it has three eyes that has sent up leaves.
This plant seems to be a smaller peony than my other peonies. It didn't bloom last year so I'm anxious to see if it blooms this year. Yours should do fine also.
|Deeter, please post a photo of the flower if it blooms this year. I sure hope yours does because I really would like to see a photo of the peony flower from a home grower rather than the ad photo. Their photo of it looks really nice
|I will do that; I'm anxious to see if it's as pretty as the photo's also.

Video: Alicia Keys Reminisces in HP Promo
Alicia Keys looks back on the beginning of her career in a promo for "The Beat Is On with HP" campaign. In the clip, the glowing songstress recalls recording her debut Songs in A Minor in her Harlem bedroom, turning her closet into a booth, and driving her fellow tenants nuts.
"You could imagine how we tortured the neighbors. They would bang on the ceiling with a broom come three or four in the morning and I'm sitting here singing passionately at the top of my voice," she said. "I really feel like a lot of that is the reason why that album has the particular feeling that it does, because we didn't have anything. Sometimes, when you don't have much, you make the best out of what you have and it makes a vibe and an energy."

Hello all: is it ok to eat apples before bed? or it is wiser to have cheese, tuna, turkey breast, or a snack with protein? I ask this because sometimes i feel real hungry like at 12 midnight right before i sleep, so i would eat a 1 apple or 2 but i don't know if apples before bed are not good because the fruit sugar would elevate insulin levels too much which increases fat storage. Do you think it's better to eat some meat, tuna or cheese?

John Carmack Interview: GPU Race, Intel Graphics, Ray Tracing, Voxels and more!
Ray tracing, unique PC gaming features and more
On the topic of ray tracing, a frequently debated issue on PC Perspective, Carmack does admit to finding its uses quite surprising and has spent some time building ray tracing engines for development testing. He seemed surprised by the results in his initial attempt to replace rasterization with a ray tracing engine, getting as much as 60 FPS at 720p resolutions on a Fermi-based NVIDIA graphics card. When performance dropped below the targeted frame rate he was able to either produce an image of a lower resolution and display that or use previous frames to sort of "blend" them for a smoother image. The issue though is the delta between a tech demo and fully implemented gaming engine – demos deal with static models, there is no character animation, etc. And while the fact that it runs at 60 FPS at 720p sounds impressive, if you were drawing that with a traditional rasterization engine it would be running at 1000 FPS!
Interestingly, Carmack discussed using ray tracing and x86 CPUs for the back end processing and mega-texture generation on RAGE. While performance per watt and per processor was still better using the GPGPU implementation id Software created at the beginning of development, the fact that development, maintenance and upkeep were significantly easier when using the x86 ray tracing method made the decision easy for him. In short, he says "in terms of results per developer hour, it is much, much better."
Now to things of recent debate – infinite detail engines. He first clarifies that voxel engines and infinite detail topics are not the same thing and should not be treated as such. Carmack then states he believes "procedurally generated detail is usually not what you want." A discussion that has been around for over a decade, truly useful procedurally generated content has never materialized though the ability to easily and efficiently manage the real data that you do create HAS. My favorite line? "Proceduralism is just a truly crappy form of data compression." He continues to state that infinite detail isn't really what's important to future game development and instead we should be focusing on the "broad strokes" of artistic visions and build on them. "If you take uninspired content and go look at it at the molecular level, it's still uninspired content."
Screenshot from Euclideon Unlimited Detail Engine
After discussing some of the interest in voxels and that the next step in development is to "geometrify" everything, Carmack mentions that he thinks eventually, ray tracing will win the rendering wars. Keep in mind that much of rasterization is built on decades of hacks – something we discussed in our previous interview with John. Where he is not sure on the path of development is on whether ray tracing into dense polygonal geometry or ray tracing into voxels will be the best method. Both have advantages but even with all the development going into voxels today, Carmack doesn't see an engine for a "major AAA title" using it for quite some time.
Tessellation was discussed as well and Carmack agrees that the technology can have some value as long as it is implemented at the ground level of development. Bolting something on after the majority of a game is built won't really do anything to benefit the gamers and will only be a check box feature. Tessellation at today's performance levels will help with basic structures like the curve of a skull, but Carmack contends that the size of structures that developers are currently using normal maps for (fine grain in textures, etc) are not appropriate for current implementatons of tessellation hardware and that is where the benefit will truly be seen. We don't quite have the tessellation power to render the entire world at sub-pixel sized triangles yet but that is coming, almost inevitably.
I asked John about the possibility of seeing Eyefinity/Surround support on RAGE and while he said that isn't currently enabled, there are some research engines he has developed in house that he would like to see released as "novelty patches" like we were used to seeing in the old days. After RAGE is out the door he plans on playing with Eyefinity, Kinect SDK and even head mounted displays and we are definitely hoping to get some feedback after he spends some time with them.
We hope to see some Eyefinity / Surround support in RAGE and Skyrim
Will there be any kind of benchmarking or testing modes in the pending release of RAGE? Not yet but he is hoping in the next month that they'll be able to integrate some kind of artificial scene to display and output results from so gamers will be able to easily know if they can run at higher settings.
There was an interesting talk about the id Tech 5 engine and how it will be licensed – it won't! In fact, only the ZeniMax family of developers will be able to utilize the engine to build new games. For modders, Carmack stated that they were going to release the 64-bit version of tools though there is going to be a limit to what people can do with it because there is a lot of infrastructure involved with the mega-textured worlds. Expect to build new gaming characteristics and multiplayer modes, but not much more than that for now. Keeping in mind there is over a 1TB of source material to build RAGE, they can't possibly put that all up for download.
Finally, we asked about his opinions and thoughts on the upcoming release of Skyrim and Carmack stated that it was interesting to see how easily they could integrate some of the adventure game features in future titles without detracting from other aspects of gameplay. And because id Software is essentially on the same team as Bethesda now, the "masters of the craft" as he calls them, it would seem likely we'll see a merger of these types of ideas in upcoming titles.
There are a lot more details in our full video interview on the previous page so make sure you give it a listen/view – at only 32 minutes long you would be hard pressed to get more information in such a short time span.
I would again like to thank John Carmack and Angela Ramsey for blocking off some time with us during the busy Quakecon schedule! We love the work they are doing and can't wait to see what the id Software and Bethesda teams have for us in the future!
You can follow Ryan Shrout on twitter @ryanshrout and John Carmack on twitter @ID_AA_Carmack.
For more from John Carmack at Quakecon 2011, be sure to check out his keynote and follow up Q&A videos.
I like the summary but, Will there be a written transcript of the interview?
I can read faster than watch and I can read the articles during sanity breaks at work.
Its rare that I make time for an internet video, but I will try to for this one.
We might try to do that but we hadn't planned on it. The whole idea of video (and then the written summary) was to NOT do a complete and direct transcription.
I think the subject matter is technical enough that you can assume the interested readers are not illiterate :) And yeah, i don't have time to watch a talking head for 32 minutes when i could read the transcript in 10.
And yet you have time to come on here and post 2x about it, when instead you could have watched the interview with the great illustrative video samples of games and graphic techniques.
On a (crappy) mobile here, please make a transcript!
Also, making a transcript of anything Carmack says just makes sense :)
We get enough requests and we'll probably do it. :)
+1 for a transcript.
We are currently working on it!
Another +1 for a transcript. Pleeeease?
Thanks, Dr Smokey.
We'll have sometime tomorrow early afternoon, promise.
Here it is: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Editorial/John-Carmack-Interview-GPU-Race-I...
It's rare that I leap to Sony's defence, but I feel I should so here. The reason the PS3 doesn't use full 64 bit addresses is simply because it doesn't need to. John seems to find the decision strange that they don't have a >4GiB address space, but given that there's only 512MiB of memory (plus some extra devices etc), having 8byte pointers would just be a waste of space that could be better used for other stuff.
The first few versions of the PS3 SDK were truly 64bit, but enough developers complained about the waste of space using long pointers that didn't need to be long that Sony saw sense and fixed it. The 360 similarly has a 64bit processor, but only bothers with a 32bit address space, simply because it's enough.
Another vote for the transcript. Besides being faster to read than view, a transcript would allow so much more. A transcript leads to indexing, which leads to searching, which leads to traffic from search engines, and ultimately more traffic on your site as a whole. This provides a much higher value for everyone far beyond the enjoyment and edification of just watching a John Carmack interview.
But anyways, thanks again for the interview. Always great to hear what John has been up to and the state of game development.
Transcript please!
We do have an editor working on it now. We'll add it as third page on this review today or tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!
Indeed, Tim is that lucky man.
Ask and you shall receive (sometimes), the interview transcript:
Thanks for the transcript, Tim!
(Great summary though, thanks for that!)
I for one am blown away by the clarity of the questions and Carmack's clear replies. You don't get a proper appreciation for how great an extemporaneous speaker Carmack is in a transcript, although the data density is certainly high enough to make a transcript useful. But I think it is worth the time to just listen to two smart people going at a complex subject.
Well done!
Thanks Paul!
1 TB is not that much anymore.
My PC is busy so I will cut this short ;) :)
It sure would be a lot to DOWNLOAD though, right?
I love how this interview guy pretends like he knows what Carmack is saying. Dude, I'm about to get a PhD in Neuroscience and I've been watching Carmack talk for 10 years, and I barely can follow what he says even with my failed CS degree. I would never be like "OK..sure..cool..right...OK..yeah..Cool..OK...yeah" when talking with the pioneers of my field. And then read some pre-made questions to ask him. OMG dude! Have you even played DOOM? Romero would make you his bitch.
PhD in Neuroscience? That's cool and all but you know, he isn't talking about neuroscience. If you managed to fail CS degree, it's not surprising that you can't follow Carmack. I could follow most of the stuff he was talking about and who knows what kind of background the interviewer has. He at least had good questions on the subject.
Exactly. There was very little stuff I didn't understand. After working in the graphics field for 11 years now, I have a pretty good grasp. Could I compete with Carmack in SAYING all of that? Nope. Could I understand most of it? Yup.
Great interview - though I dont think Ryan knows what he's talking about most of the time- check out the nervous nods in slightly the wrong places to simulate understanding.
Remember though, John is supposed to be doing the talking, not Ryan, and it succeeds in that aim.
Oh - previous poster, said same thing. Dont be hard on ryan: its all geeky techy stuff; not understanding is more a function of John's extreme geekiness than Ryans lack of intelligence. Low level programming knowledge does not equate to god-like wisdom. It's the guys job & passion, after all.
From what I've seen of Rage so far, it looks just like another boring shooter. Totally unexciting. Pioneer or no pioneer back in the day, I'm not that interested in their games.

Hello and welcome to our new website.
One of our favorite subjects we like to write about is investing! And we mean investing in the really good stuff like how to buy gold, silver and even getting in on the bitcoin craze.
The US is in a very unique position that it hasn't been in for a very long time. They are on the brink of economic collapse, and everyone either knows it flat out, or has a gut feeling that they are in very deep trouble.
That's why we want to talk about investing in real currencies that have real value. Gold has always been a stable commodity for 1000′s of years, even back into early Egyptian times. It has stood the test of time and it always will. That's been the Gold Forecast for as long as we have recorded history!
The US dollar however, is a perceived value dollar. It's only worth what the collaborative amout of trust in it is worth. And as the US tanks further, people are opening their eyes and seeing that paper currency isn't real. It has no actual value.
But land, gold, silver, real estate do! They are tangible!
And of course the BitCoin is making a huge appearance as a new currency with a lot of promising ideas which makes it a very exciting currency to watch. Fluctuations from $13 in 2013 all the way to $1200 and then down to $600 again in early Feb, 2014 make it a very interesting, dangerous and valuable currency to trade in.
So I hope you like this blog, because those are the things we are going to talk about!
Visit often!

I think we are being called as nation...
Hi, I believe that we (as a nation) are being called to do something for these families and children in Newtown.
I think there should be a peacemakers solution to this - that both sides should be able to embrace.
I think we should require the gun industry to put some technology into these guns so they aren't so stupid. The users don't build these hand guns.
The gun industry can put technology into these hand guns - if the target contains a small body or no weapon the gun should be disabled.
(I don't know if someone has better idea - but we are being called to do something that can work across the board. I posted this a few other places to see if it gets a go somewhere. )
What do you think?

God damn it! I wanted this to work. It didn't.
HD foundation showed up and made new flakes on my face, so I brought it back, stated my complaint and was told this would be better for dry skin. Nope!
Flakes and pores ahoy!
I use it once a week or so, just cos its there. Number nine. It's a bit yellow, but what the hey, I temper it with powder.
It's a bit Mac scupt (also makes my skin flake) in texture. A gel-like quality. The pigment level is medium and a primer helps.
But why I should NEED a primer? A foundation used to be just that - the foundation, the canvas. Needing a primer doubles the price of your base.
The right base should have a perfect texture for your skin, right?
I bought this because I heard it's Kim Kardashian's foundation and I absolutely love her make up.
Medium to Full Coverage (if you need that kind of coverage, gives a very finished look)
Long lasting (You just need to touch up with powder after 6 hours, and you will seem refreshed)
Photographs well
Too much coverage (I'm looking for a light coverage foundation)
Note: I've tried mixing 1 pump MUFE Liquid Lift + 3 pumps moisturizer and I have a sheerer, better, lighter coverage foundation which does not look like I'm covering my face with a lot of make up. Although I really like it, I wouldn't repurchase it because I'm still looking for a natural looking, long-lasting foundation that photographs well. :)
3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I didn't start wearing foundation until my 30's. I started to get uneven colouring, perhaps from my pregnancies or because of eczema. I absolutely adore MUF F&B but wanted to also try something with more coverage. This worked great. I love the pump on it...which I wish F&B had and it does not dry out or make my eczema noticeable. In fact, with both this liquid lift and F&B, people would tell me that my skin looked great and would ask how I cleared up my eczema. My only issue with this is finding the correct colour. #4 matches my face perfectly but is lighter than my forehead. And now they've gotten rid of MUF counters in Sears Canada so I'll have to find it at the very limited Bay stores that they have or go to the US.
EDIT: I've actually tried #5 and that works perfectly.
---MUA caused me to panic when I read that this has been discontinued. It is NOT discontinued. In Canada it is only found at limited The Bay stores and Sears Canada no longer carries MUFE. Sephora does not carry the liquid lift foundations, but I've never actually ever seen it there. That's where probably the confusion lay. I frantically called and went to my Bay store that carries it and they were confused about where I had heard it was discontinued and assured me that it was not and that they had added more colours to the line so as far as they knew it was not going to be discontinued. Phew!
Update: Spring 2011: They have removed MUF counters from The Bay so I can no longer purchase this anywhere in Canada except for the MUF counter in Montreal. That's just too far of a treck for me to regularly go. It's probably for the better anyway since I am trying to go with more natural or safer ingredients in my make-up now.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
all I can say about this product is I LOVE IT! reason for it because its applies on very smoothly & look's very fresh & dewy so if ur oily skin I dont recommand it! this foundation stays on for a very long time and I used the 180 mac brush to apply to my face. I did have to combine the 2 colours to get to match my skin #4 & #5 mind you the packing of the colour is not even labled on the bottom of the bottle. but overall of the item GREAT product!
i have just started using it being "seduced" by my friend who adores it. well, at this point wouldn't say it's worth such a high price, or perhaps it just doesn't match my skin-type. In areas where my skin is normal to dry, it looks pretty decently, but the T-zone gets oily fairly quickly and also the pores, spots and all other "beautiful areas" are not masked evenly. The texture works much better when you moisturize well before applying, otherwise it's too creamy and can cake up in some areas. i don't mind the smell at all, and the bottle is good too (a little heavy) but the pump is perfect. i have porcelain skin and number one is almost a good match, number two is already too yellow
i will give it a try because there WERE days when it looked very nice on me; however, i can get similar effect from a cheaper foundation (beauty for all season for e.g.)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I called the New York store and they said it is not discontinued. Everybody has called in to order thinking it is discontinued and so they are waiting for more stock from France. So you can still get it. You just have to go thru the MUF stores.
I love this foundation. I am not liking the new HD foundation. Anyway, this foundation gives you a dewey, clean look. Not powdery. I hope this stays around. I always get complements on my skin when I wear this. Not my makeup. That says alot.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let the lamentations begin - Sephora is discontinuing this product both online and in the shops.
I used 01, about as light as I would go, a light, luminous coverage, and wanted to get another - but Sephora is not selling it anymore.
From Sephora:
""Make Up For Ever Liquid Lift Foundation has been discontinued on our website as well as our stores. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience. The Make Up For Ever HD Foundation has a similar texture which is slightly thicker but not heavy in texture. The HD Foundation does offer more coverage, and while it does help to minimize imperfections such as lines and pores, the HD Foundation does a better job of soaking up excess oil, but yet is still hydrating and does not sink into lines.
Here are some of the key ingredients of this foundation, which is designed to photograph flawlessly and look like skin in all lighting conditions.
-Relipidium: Moisturizes the skin (+46% after 4 hours).
-Fucogel: Forms a microfilm that prevents dehydration and protects against external aggression.
-Sericite: Enables rays of light to spread more widely, intensifying the radiance of the complexion.
This is their most cutting edge formula, so you may find that you enjoy this even more than the Liquid Lift Foundation.""
MUFE HD foundation is the newer one. I'm trying it out: the palest one (110) was too pale on me (Nicole Kidman Kabuki shade) ; 115, (pink undertone) or 117 (yellow undertone) were closer. Lots of colors on the HD - I'd suggest trying it in the shop with sample before buying.
Revision as of Nov 2012 :
Sephora does seem to have relisted this as a "new" product!
Let the rejoicing begin!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just started using this foundation. So far so good. I wear No. 3 I buff it on with M.A.C. brush 180 and set it with M.A.C. sheer select pressed powder NC30 using M.A.C brush 150.
It's not the cheapest foundation, but it feels the least mask like. I was turned onto Revlon's ColourStay foundation when I was working on a movie. The makeup artist mixed it with some liquid M.A.C stuff to get the right colour, but I found I liked the ColourStay just by itself (not a huge fan of M.A.C anymore). The only thing was that I could really "feel it" when it was on my skin. Liquid Lift's coverage isn't as heavy/matte as Revlon's, but it feels a lot lighter on my skin and leaves a more natural, dewy look (Note: dewy, not SHINY or SPARKLEY), and a little goes a long way with this product. I use the flat brush to paint it on and a year later the bottle is still half full. I find this foundation particularly good for dry skin. The bottle could be improved though. It's hard to know what shade you have because there's no info on the bottle. Makes it hard to remember for re-purchase especially if this stuff lasts as long as it does.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The coverage is good but the smell is terrible. It's very strong and doesn't go away immediately. That's one of the drawbacks of this foundation. The color is ok but too muddy for my yellow-undertone skin. I'm a NC40 and I use #4. However, it's great for my dry skin. If you find a foundation match and don't mind the scent, then buy this if you have dry skin.

If I'm enrout to somewhere I'll look for a real boondock spot, most offten however I end up Dry camping in a parking lot. If an Escapees park is availible that would be a 1st choice, no hassle, friendly, and priced right. I stay away from commerical CGs, just not worth the hassle and cost.
We do tend to have a hierarchy of choices for parking but we don't always get our favorites. Good point!
We prefer public campgrounds, which we don't consider boondocking, though often it IS truly dry camping as there are no hookups. By public campgrounds, I mean state parks, national parks, national forests, etc. -- any campground owned by a public entity, including local, county, state, and federal.
I was surprised that wasn't an option on your poll.
We also use a lot of military campgrounds.
A lot depends on where we are at the time. If we are near military, we try to stay there as the cost is perfect for retirees and it benefits other military people. We have also discovered there are some Elk's that allow you to stop at their lodges for a nominal fee ($10 donation) and even some VFW posts. Some will let you hook up electricity or water. This usually happens if we have been delayed due to weather (high winds, heavy rain, etc.)
It looks like I could have had a lot more choices! Thanks for sharing. I did add public campgrounds, though I haven't gotten it to show up.
Thanks for your comments.

That's generous of Origins to give out full sized products. And I think it's a great idea that they're having people re-use old containers to do it.
Thank you for checking out my blog and for saying hi :) Yes, in the last picture I was wearing MAC #4 lashes.

Hurray for green! :D
The staying power of the nail polish is amazing. I've had it on for a whole week now and it's barely chipped or faded.

Hi, Thanks for stopping by my page :)
Actually the cleansers does not dry up my skin. its make it more smoother and super soft. I love it. I guess it not for everyone :)
I really love how some of these companies are accepting trade-in non-green items for coupon or whatnot for these wonderful green products.

Hi dear, I wanted to reply to your question here since I know you would get it.
The lipgloss doesn't have a funny smell to it. A hint of citrus, nothing overbearing.

Sucks huh? I didn't as well :( I too went around 3 and they told me they ran out about 2 hours before. I ended up giving them the bottles to recycle so I felt like I was doing good anyways haha! Not a total loss.
