Epix Free Preview Channels Still Not Available

Posted 07 January 2013 - 01:43 AM
Not that it's any of your individual or collective damn business, but the recession wasn't good to us and as a newly retired couple, we have had to economize and cut back in a number of areas across the board so we can stay within our tight budget. One, was that we got rid of all of our premium movie packages that we once had. We also stopped buying Blu-Rays & DVD's. And yes, I know it's shocking, but we actually record a lot of HD movies rather than just watching them ... and I am sure you'll likely have a problem with that as well.
Now, for the most part, the only real chance we have for recording advertisement free premium HD movies these days, is when a free premium preview comes up. I keep fairly careful track of what's coming up by way of the free preview channel, Dish Perks, and this forum. I make note of the free preview start dates, and I then typically keep an eye out for when the free preview channels first pop-up on my channel guide and then I scroll through the entire free preview offerings to figure out what I am going to record on my 922. I do this as soon as I can and I often end up with somewhere between 15 to 30 HD movies (or other program material) I am interested in recording from the free preview. My wife and are big movie buffs and so far we have over 1200 movie titles between the internal hard drive on our 922, two 2 TB external hard drives, along with hard-copy Blu-Rays & DVDs.
This approach has been working for us and we are able to get a lot of benefit from the free previews that Dish offers at no extra cost to us. So, do I pay more attention to this than perhaps the average Dish customer who either doesn't care about free previews, or even if they do, they don't particularly care when they start or if they even have any desire to record anything? Probably so. So, to you guys, I then become a "high maintenance customer" or some guy inappropriately tying up resources, or just too focused on free previews for your taste.
One of the problems here IMO was the moderator merging what amounts to a double set of initial comments from two different threads which probably made this situation look worse than it was. Beyond that, if you bother to look at how this thing started was me simply asking if anyone else was having a problem seeing the Epix free preview channels on the morning of the free preview start. What's the big deal with that? All of a sudden, I'm some really impatient guy. Truth is, I've had a lot of technical problems with the two 922's I have had (especially channel guide and channel access issues), and I can't always assume that my problems are system wide which was the main reason I even posted in the first place to the forum.
So, I start what I thought was a simple chat session with Dish to ask them, but I guess I did something wrong with that approach in the eyes of those taking me to task on this thread. Bottom-line, I cannot read minds and for those who keep insisting that essentially all Dish CSR's and TSR's are totally wrong or misinformed, I can't divine that ahead of time. When the first TSR (who seemed knowledgeable and helpful) related to me in a very honest manner that Dish was having technical problems getting the Epix free preview started, I had no reason to disbelieve him. When he further told me that the problem had just been fixed and that I should see the free preview channels pop up on my channel guide within a few minutes, that seemed reasonable to me as well. I only followed-up with the second chat session a little over an hour later when nothing was showing up.
So, excuse me! If all of this seems over the top to you guys, too damn bad as far as I am concerned. Next time I'll mind my own business and not "force" you guys to have to read my trials & tribulations as they relate to free previews.

We are a forum full of opinions. You expressed the opinion that the channels should have been on earlier, others have expressed the opinion that the timing was fine. There is no need for either side to get angry or emotional in expressing a simple opinion.
The Epix situation is resolved ... the channels are available and hopefully you will enjoy the content that you are able to capture during the free preview.

Is anyone else having a problem seeing the Epix free preview channels (which are supposed to be available from 1/4 through 1/16)? We normally get Epix 292 (as part of our main package) and I can of course see that SD channel as usual, however, I am not seeing channels 380, 381 or 382 as of this morning in the channel guide.
I cancelled Blockbuster but I get channel 292. Is normal?
Enjoying AT 250 HBO,

All EPIX channels should be in free preview thru 1/16/13. EPIX Drive In is also in AT250.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 10:46 PM
I probably wouldn't notice if they began on time until after work, but I could see someone being annoyed if they couldn't see a program because the preview didn't start on time.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 10:54 PM
Defining the time seems to be the question. The thread starter had an expectation that was not met but when did DISH say the preview would start?I agree with DEC. We are paying for the "free"previews somewhere along the line so if they are supposed to begin at a certain time, they should begin at that time.

HD, SchmacHD!! Just be glad you've got a picture at all.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 10:26 AM
As long as it appeared before 23:59 that night, it was not 'late' and there was no reason for anyone who wasn't paying for it to be upset.
Exactly, the OP should be ashamed beyond belief at his false entitlement.

We are paying for the "free"previews somewhere along the line so if they are supposed to begin at a certain time, they should begin at that time.
Of course we also pay somewhere along the line for someone getting antsy and contacting support 5 times in one morning. (5 times as of post #3, looks like there might have been even more after that.)

Illinois Fighting Illini (22-6)
@24 Ohio St. Buckeyes (17-8)
Sunday, February 22
Value City Arena
Attendance: None
24 Ohio St.
Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Mike Davis led all players with 22 points, and the 18th-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini got a key 70-68 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes at Value City Arena.
Davis, who scored only four points in Illinois' 38-33 loss to Penn State last Wednesday, went 11-of-14 from the field, as the Illini won for the fourth time in five games. Demetri McCamey added 15 points and seven assists in the team's third straight road victory.
"We couldn't make a shot Wednesday, and today we started 8-of-9, so that gave us some positive momentum right away," Illinois head coach Bruce Weber said. "The big thing is that we were knocked down on Wednesday, and we got back up. You have to do that to be successful."
Trent Meachem scored 17 points for Illinois (22-6, 10-5 Big Ten), which shot a highly efficient 58.3 percent from the field and led from start to finish.
Evan Turner topped Ohio State (17-8, 7-7) with 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Jon Diebler also had 17 points in the Buckeyes third straight loss.
"We weren't good enough to get the job done today," Ohio State head coach Thad Matta said. "They made some great plays and ran the shot clock all afternoon. We just couldn't make the plays to get the lead. We were playing catch-up the whole game."
William Buford scored 14, while P.J. Hill contributed a career-high nine points, as Ohio State had a three-game home winning streak versus Illinois snapped.
Trailing by five to start the second half, Ohio State cut its deficit to 41-39 on B.J. Mullen's layup 6 1/2 minutes into the period.
An 8-2 burst by the Illini, capped by a McCamey layup, gave the team a 55-47 edge with 7 1/2 minutes left in the game.
Shortly after, Chester Frazier drained a three-pointer to make it a 10-point game with only six minutes to go.
With Illinois leading 65-57 after a Meachem three with 2:40 left, Ohio State mounted a comeback late. Turner's layup cut the deficit to 67-63, and he had a chance for a three-point play. The free throw attempt was off the mark, but Hill grabbed the rebound and scored with 38.9 seconds to go, making it a two- point game.
Meachem hit both ends of a 1-and-1 for Illinois with 26.5 seconds on the clock, extending the lead to 69-65, and Ohio State failed to score on its next possession.
McCamey drained one more free throw with 11.9 seconds left, and the Illini held on from there.
An early 6-0 run by Illinois put the visitors out in front, 11-4, just over three minutes into the game.
Six straight points by the Buckeyes closed the gap to 16-14, but the Illini answered with three consecutive field goals for a 22-14 lead midway through the period.
Ohio State battled back to tie the game at 24 on a couple Diebler free throws with three minutes left, and Illinois closed the half on an 8-3 burst to take a 32-27 advantage into the locker room.

Metro Health surgeons, internal medicine physicians and gastroenterologists perform endoscopies to examine the inside of a patient's body. An endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a long, thin, flexible tube called an endoscope examines the interior surfaces of an organ and tissue. A light and video camera on the endocope allows the physician to see images on a screen and record them for later study.
An endoscopy is used to confirm a diagnosis, conduct a biopsy or remove a foreign object from the gastrointestinal tract. In many cases, an endoscopy can significantly contribute to the doctor's decision on the best treatment plan.
Many patients who need an endoscopy get one due to an issue in the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal, or GI, tract is the system of organs that make up the digestive system. The digestive system includes the esophagus, stomach and small and large intestines. An endoscope can be used to examine any or all of the sections of the GI tract.

Monterey County Free Libraries operates two bookmobiles that visit over 30 communities on a regular schedule. Many of the communities served by the bookmobile are home to low-income families that may have difficulty finding transportation to the county library, and cannot enjoy the luxury of a personal home computer and internet service. Therefore, the "come to you" services of a bookmobile are vital.
In the past year, the monthly average of bookmobile users in southern portion of Monterey County increased over 60% to nearly 400, and the average monthly circulation of library materials doubled. It is expected that the need will continue to increase with the addition of three new stops in Chualar, San Lucas, and Parkfield whose libraries are closed for remodeling.
Monterey County Free Libraries had been struggling to meet the increased demand for the bookmobile service due to an aging bookmobile. The 15 year old vehicle was constantly pulled off the route for repairs which resulted not only in high costs for the library, but a loss of important service to hundreds of users.
USDA Rural Development provided a $105,000 Community Facilities Grant to help purchase a new bookmobile and equipment.
The new and improved bookmobile started serving communities in August and is well equipped to handle demand with 3,000 library books, DVDs, as well as self-check-out capabilities. Not only do the residents of these rural communities now have a reliable source for books and materials, but the bookmobile also features three computers with internet access. Students and adults now have the ability to conduct online research or use the service for job searches. And everyone can rest assured that the new bookmobile will be able to maintain the schedule and reach all the communities as planned.

The Arroyo Grande Police Department was called out to the Albertsons at 1100 West Branch Street on a report of a suspicious package. The call came in just after 12:15 p.m. Monday.
Police say an employee was opening a package when he or she saw a black cylinder in a sealed box. The employee moved the box outside and contacted the Arroyo Grande Police Department.
When police arrived on scene they set up containment and called in the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Bomb Squad to assist. The cylinder turned out to be a flashlight that had accidently slipped into the package.

Saul's hands are tied. It's up to you to heal her psyche. The only way to validate her instincts is to follow them - and stop Abu Nazir's next plot. Good luck.

Vigil for father, children killed in fire
SCHENECTADY -- There were many tears, and a call for justice, in a Schenectady neighborhood Wednesday after a man accused of setting fire to a home was set free. Now, a new twist in the investigation, with a large reward for information pointing to a responsible party.
"Let us have peace," begged Liz Dolder, the sister of the man who died in that fire. "We cannot move forward until this is closed until somebody has paid for this. We don't want to look over our shoulders."
Dolder's raw pain was shared with others who came to call for justice. Her brother, David Terry, died in this house fire, along with children Michael, Layah, and Donavan Duell. Safyre Terry clung to life with severe injuries. But there is new hope with a reward from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms offering up to $12,000 for information, an arrest, or a conviction of whoever set this fire.
Mike Dolder is hoping for a tip from anyone, "whether it be a taxi driver driving down the road that night and had seen prior to what had happened," he said. "Maybe the reward will bring them out a little bit."
They believe the US Attorney's office left no stone unturned in its investigation, despite releasing suspect Robert Butler due to a case of unusual and complex facts. Investigators believe gasoline was poured on a staircase and someone lit a match.
"We're going to get you," Liz Dolder said. "We are going to get you. I am a fighter and I'll tell you, you picked the wrong one."
They're asking anyone to think of their own loved ones -- as they look for the one whose actions the ATF considers "senseless and horrific."
"They're people," Dolder said of her loved ones. "Just like you are just like your daughter is, just like your wife is, just like your cousin or your brother or your sister -- they were important to other people. Especially me and my family. That was all the family I had that I could call my own. That was stolen from us. Somebody out there knows the truth."Family members say Safyre is still in the hospital. They don't know when she'll be out but they say she's getting stronger every day.

Do you develop a GNOME program and want to install extra stuff for your application? Want me to write you some code for your application to make it "just work"? Ideas I can think of: • Installing extensions in epiphany • Installing debuginfos in the GNOME crasher thing • Installing language packs in abiword • Installing clipart for scribus • Installing -devel packages in anjuta for the autocompletion • Making GIMP install it's own plugins when an obscure file format is opened Any other suggestions welcome. Please email me if you want some help. You can install a package based on the package name, or just by specifying a file that the package provides. All the yucky stuff like licence agreements and GPG auth is handled in libpackagekit-gnome. You'll need to be running Fedora 9 prerelease if you want precompiled rpm's that work. I'll make the code a configure option (–enable-packagekit) so it won't be a hard dep. Any takers?
One response to "Using PackageKit in GNOME programs"
I'm unlikely to write anything for Gnome Games extra themes installer until I can find some kind of document on commitment to PackageKit maintenance from Debian and Ubuntu.

This is the second year of our herb garden. The parsley came up on its own this year from last year's planting. Unfortunately, it isn't doing very well. It has long stems and few leaves. Some of the leaves are very pale. It is also flowering. Does parsley need replanted every year? |

Yes. It's a biennial. It will come back from its roots the following spring, but only to flower. |

ThomasS, some people believe only their god exists. Some people try out many gods, seeing which fits. I claim, and a few others claim, god does not exist. We get called on our certainty ... but why go only part way. Human beings create god to explain existence to an uninformed population. We grow through different phases, thinking god was a woman, god was a man, god was an animal, or plant, or mountain; you name it there is a god for it.
Looking around me, listening to lots of people, paying attention to why they think the way they do, I am convinced god does not exist. God is a construct. period.
Tom Sarbeck, you wrote, "C'mon, folk, we don't have to be sociopaths to state the problem truthfully.
"In place of "If a "god" did this for any reason, he/she/it is a sick sonofabitch...", let's say what we know to be true: "A hungry vulture and an abandoned human infant are not equal adversaries."
"The words used by people who remedy problems differ markedly from the words used by people who demand remedies"
Speaking for myself only, there is so much rage in the face of so much silence, I use whatever tools available to me. Now that I am a sick little old lady, words release my anger, even as I know these words do not do the job. OK, I confess, you and Loren are correct, words used to remedy problems are the words to use. Where are we to take our rage? Is there a safe place? Don't dare say to "stuff it" because it will not be stuffed. Just like a bottle of champaign with a vigorous shake, we have bubbles.
Let me think a minute. a corked bottle of champaign all shaken up, with my head as the cork; when do the bubbles stop coming out of the uncorked bottle?
When did silence solve problems? When does rage turn into an engine of power? When my language changes? OK, I'll give it a try.
Rage provides me the necessary energy. Thought tells me where to direct my energy.
Hardball politics, in which people who spoke up were fired and one man who spoke up was murdered, educated me.
Traumatic? Yes. Valuable? Yesyesyesyesyes!
Oh yes, I see what you mean! Sounds like there is a story behind your message. Care to share it?
For info on the murder, search wikipedia on "don bolles" and click on the reporter, not the drummer.
As one of the DA's said, it wasn't a mafia thing. The mafia leaves little or no evidence.
Jonathan, I don't tell myself "I cannot ...."
I might say "I don't want to ... at this time", or "I do not now have the energy / the evidence / etc for ...." etc.
I do not tell myself I cannot.
I say "I cannot..." because in fact I believe it is epistemically impossible to calculate the utility of any action a priori -- I mean even if you have a quantum computer that somehow knows every relevant factor to instantaneously compute utility in some deterministic manner, the question remains in "what vision of the future would be considered ideal?" And the answer to that question might be subjective at best, or at least it would be subject to the limitations of our intelligence, which cannot compare to some theoretical all-knowing "God".
There are certain things that we "cannot" do, especially things that involve defeating logic. For example, one cannot conceive of a triangle with more than 180 degrees; one cannot, quantum computer aside, know the future value of his actions before he commits them. It's just impossible as far as I'm concerned.
I can conceive of a triangle on a sphere's surface and it has more than 180 degrees.
Imagine it on the earth's surface with a part of the equator and two longitudinal lines to a pole. It would have more than 180 degrees and less 540 degrees.
A triangle exists on a 2-dimensional plane by definition so I'm not sure how you mean, but I don't wish to get into an argument about geometry.
No argument, Jonathan; that was Euclid's definition.
In the middle 1800's the mathematicians Riemann and Lobachevsky found Euclidean (plane) geometry on an ancient, imaginary, unbounded, 2-dimensional plane. Expanding Euclid's definition, they planted geometry on more interesting surfaces and created non-Euclidean geometry.
One result: spherical geometry and navigation on the earth's surface.
Another (maybe): navigation in space, where mass bends space non-spherically.
Jonathan, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said.
"calculation of utility is a posteriori." What does it mean.
"most modern day philosophers reject Utilitarianism as a valid moral philosophy," Jees, I hate to reveal my stupidity, but I don't understand.
"Everything happens for a reason" a priori". Sorry ...
"no one knows the distant consequences for any action." You must think I am a blithering idiot, but I do think I could understand if you said this differently. I don't mean any disrespect to you; it is entirely my fault for being so uneducated.

U.S. House approves farm bill without food stamp aid
(CNN) — The US House of Representatives passed a revised version of the farm bill Thursday that doesn't include an extension of food stamps.
The final vote was 216 to 208 with no democrat voting in favor of the bill.
The Democratic-led senate previously passed its own version of the measure that included renewed food stamp assistance for low-income Americans.
Conservatives say the measure costs too much.
Food Stamp and nutrition programs costs roughly $78 billion dollars annually.
The white house has issued a veto threat over the bill that passed the house.

Growers who promote the nutritional value of mushrooms, particularly their vitamin D content, say they're feeling the love from consumers.
Kennett Square, Pa.-based Oakshire Mushroom Farm Inc. has placed nutrition and health information on its Dole-branded mushroom tills for the past year.
"It's going well, better than expected," said Oakshire president Gary Schroeder. "Our package is our billboard, and the program is clearly resonating with consumers."
Claims on the light-exposed 6-ounce whole and sliced portobello packages include "An excellent source of vitamin D, which promotes healthy bones."
"It's classic marketing," Schroeder said. "You don't talk about the features of your product, talk about the benefits."
The Dole name adds credibility to Oakshire's Naturally Nutritious program, he said.
After exposing mushrooms to ultraviolet light economically and efficiently for about six years, Schroeder received a patent for the technique in October.
For the past two years, Watsonville, Calif.-based Monterey Mushrooms has exposed all its sliced mushrooms to light for several seconds. The process naturally bumps up their vitamin D content to 400 international units, or 100% of the recommended dietary allowance.
"We get calls asking for it from places where we don't have distribution," Caldwell said. "People are searching for natural foods with vitamin D, especially vegetarians and vegans and those with specific diet restrictions.
"This is one of those nutrition stories that isn't been driven by some fad diet."
If the federal government recommends increasing vitamin D levels, the lighting is adjustable, he said.
Olympia, Wash.-based Ostrom's Mushrooms has placed a starburst on its package and painted trucks to publicize its vitamin D-enhanced sliced white and crimini mushrooms.
The company also has sponsored in-store demos to educate consumers on the concept and created a website video to explain the process, said Fletcher Street, director of marketing and sales.
"We don't charge a premium," Street said. "I just think it's something that's great to be able to offer, and we've had positive feedback on it."
Other growers say they're closely watching the research and their competitors before jumping on the vitamin D bandwagon.
"It's not cheap, it's an extra step and we're not sure if the value warrants the investment in the technology so we're waiting on the sidelines," said Rick Watters, sales manager for Champ's Mushrooms in Aldergrove, British Columbia.

Hello, it's me again ^^
I have another question... My bonsai is placed outside my window, and it catches direct sun during the entire day, but only on one side. Should I rotate the bonsai every day, so it can get sunlight on both sides? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rotate the TREE (not "the bonsai")... yes. |
- Posted by greenman28 Nor Cal 7/8 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 19:05
Yes! Plants grow toward the sun - Heliotropism (as I like to say) - or toward light - Phototropism. Whichever your prefer. So, if you want a plant to grow in a particular direction, aim it toward the path of the sun. For balance, you need to turn the tree regularly. During the growing season/s, you need to turn the tree even more often. If you have the opportunity, observe how the tree receives light throughout the day. In my living room, I have large east-facing windows, as well as a south-facing window. So, to capture as much sun as possible, I place my jade plants (for example) on the eastern windowsill in the morning. When I get home in the early afternoon, I move the jades to the southern windowsill. During the spring/summer growing season, I move them around on the deck often - several times a day, if I'm home. If one of my plants is leaning, I'll turn it AWAY from the sun so that the plant will bring itself upright as it turns back toward the sun. In my opinion, it's good for both the trunk and the roots (anchoring). Anyhow, this post is longer than it needed to be, but I thought I'd ramble. There's a good song - "Otherworldly Dreamer" playing... ;) Josh |

This past spring my three year old "Bleeding Heart" was much too big and I made a mental note to do "something" before next spring.
I dont want to divide it for the purpose of propagating it but just...'cut some out' permanently so it will be much more compact next spring. So how should I best do this? Do I use a shovel and slice off some of the plant all the way around the circumference? Can I do it now or do I have to wait till early spring? |

I'm interested in learning about this also. I have two bleeding hearts that get to be about 4 feet across each spring...and then they die back, leaving me with two huge empty spaces. Totally Confused |
If you want a smaller bleeding heart, you need to be growing a dwarf form, like 'Luxuriant' or 'King of Hearts'. You are basically trying to make a Great Dane into a Chihuahua. Dicentra spectabilis (what you are growing)grows naturally to 4'. |
I agree, these are big plants and there really isn't anything you can do to stop them from doing what they want to do unless of course you want to continually divide them. And they will grow back fast if the dividing doesn't kill them. I've never tried moving or dividing one of these, but I would suspect you're best bet would be to lift the entire plant, wash off the dirt and make your decision then. I do know they have very brittle, thick, yellow roots, but I'm not sure what the actual crown of the plant looks like or how it would respond to cutting and dividing. Maybe someone else has more experience. Kevin |

GET RID OF IT ... they do not transplant easily ... a woody horseradish-type deep root .. that does not make the process easy on an older plant ... invest or divest.. i say divest.. move on.. check out the link ken ps: yes .... and now everyone will tell me its the easiest plant in the world to move.. lol ... |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
"GET RID OF IT"? Of course that 'advice' is too easily given for most any inquiry in which one dislikes a feature of an existing plant...this kind of stops any meaningful discussion from taking place. I was just hoping that by 'slicing' off some of the existing 'Dicentra spectabilis' would result in a more manageable sized plant that of course would still flower the following year (if done in the Fall). If this is the case then I would have no problem doing this simple procedure each year. |
- Posted by gottagarden z5 western NY (My Page) on Tue, Sep 13, 11 at 12:01
Just cut it back as it grows in spring. I do this so it won't swallow the neighboring primrose. I just cut back the foliage from the sides and voila, a smaller plant. No need to dig it out. It will still be tall, however, just not wide. And BH doesn't keep throwing out new foliage like some perennials will, so it's really easy to keep narrower. |

GET RID OF IT ... ken |
Plant it for itself where it will not come in conflict with anyting else. Dicentra spectabilis is one of the most beautiful plants in existence.I would throw out ten primroses instead. |
Actually the idea of chopping it back when it gets too big is exactly what I do now that I think of it. I never wait until he foliage yellows. When it looks like it's about to swallow up that particular bed I get out the clippers. In fact I remove the entire foliage mass by mid summer while it is still mostly green. Let's face it, once this plant is done blooming it is no beauty. This mass decapitation has never slowed it down. Next spring it's back with a vengeance. I have kind of a love/hate relationship with this plant. As already stated, it certainly is huge. It doesn't bloom all that long and the foliage gets ugly fast. But I simply cannot imagine a spring without it. In that first month or so of new growth and blooms in spring, it's just too lovely to not have. (It also helps to plant other things kind of close to help hide the inevitable hole once the foliage is gone.) One of my finest pairings is a Baptisia australis and a Dicentra spectabilis and it was a total accident. The Dicentra just happened to self sow right, smack in the middle of the Baptisia. I didn't notice it until the seedling was quite large and for some reason I didn't bother removing it. The Dicentra emerges first in the spring and the Baptisia much, much later. By the time the Dicentra is done blooming, the Baptisia takes over. By mid summer, you can't even tell the Dicentra was ever there. It's simply swallowed up by the huge Baptisia. This has been going on for years and both seem totally content. Kevin |
Kevin, Any chance you could post a couple of pictures of this combination Kevin? (Btw, doesnt the Baptisita 'need' lots of sun...unlike the BH i.e.I am a but surprised they each do well together) |
rouge Both are chopped down at the moment and I never took a photo earlier in the year. Sorry. Yes, the Baptisia is growing in almost full sun along with the Dicentra. I realize most people grow this one in shade, but I never have. In fact, my largest Dicentra is a self-sown volunteer growing in the top of a low, stone wall in almost full sun. I never water it and it's huge. I sincerely doubt I could ever remove it without dismantling the wall. Kevin |

Just for those who are interested, Dicentra spectabilis is actually very easy to divide (which will have the impact of making the plant smaller for a few years). The key is to do it at the proper time of year and growth stage. When the foliage just begins to emerge and is only 2-3 inches tall (in late February or early March in my garden), use a shovel to dig out the main corm like root. Use a sharp knife and you can cut the root into as many pieces as you have eyes (pieces showing signs of green leaves growing out of it, like a potato). Or cut it into bigger chunks for larger plants. Try not to break off the leaf buds. You can pot up pieces for spreading around, give away or trade and replant a nice size piece where it originally was. If you do this early enough, the small pieces with just a stalk or two of leaves are pretty likely to bloom, even in small pots. |
I am growing Hostas and Digitalis purpurea intermixed in the same bed as the Dicentra spectablis. As the foliage for the Dicentra is dying back, the Hostas are filling in and the gaps left by the bleeding heart aren't that noticeable. I plant Foxglove seedlings in between the Hosta and Dicentra and it seems perfectly happy growing as a filler the first year and the 2nd year provides dramatic blooms around the time the bleeding heart finishes blooming. They all are growing well in partial sun. |
Thanks kimka for the post. That seems like a much better alternative than getting rid of it as one retains the impressive 'Dicentra spectablis' but at a more manageable size (and still much larger than a 'Luxuriant' or 'King of Hearts'). |
Did the title of the OP's post (once the "t" is included for "heart") strike anyone else as a title for a bad country/western song? |

Stephen Colbert On Rick Perry
This is a Colbert Report on Rick Perry, the presidential want-a-be…Colbert Super PAC beats back wannabe super PACs to become Rick Perry's official unofficial, non-connected, independent expenditure, all-you-can-eat money trough.
But get this, Baby Boomers…since Perry is so chummy with the Bush's, just guess what he wants to do? He wants to lift ALL EPA Regulations, because they are killing jobs across the nation.
Can you imagine no EPA regulations? This man is insane! The Gulf Coast oil spill would be the least of our worries if ALL EPA regulations were lifted.
Rick Perry is insane. He is a mad hatter.

Overclocking the Modules
Now we come to the fun part. While these modules are designed to work on the 790i SLI board, the 790i is simply not a mainstream chipset. We decided to push them along using the Intel X48 chipset with DDR3 support, which in essence the same chipset as the P45 minus XMP support. It has the same memory controller so it's a good chipset for testing.
We managed to make it to 1980MHz using 2.1v, but we had to lower the timings to 9-9-9-28. There's no denying this is a very high clock speed; the 2000MHz eluded us, however we didn't have enough time to tweak all the boards options and I'm sure with more time available we could have reached that magic 2000MHz mark.
Important Editor Note: Our maximum overclocking result is the best result we managed in our limited time of testing the motherboard. Due to time constraints we weren't able to tweak the motherboard to the absolute maximum and find the highest possible FSB, as this could take days to find properly. We do however spend at least a few hours overclocking every motherboard to try and find the highest possible overclock in that time frame. You may or may not be able to overclock higher if you spend more time tweaking, or as new BIOS updates are released. "Burn-in" time might also come into play if you believe in that.

We are moving our son to a twin size bed from a crib. He had always heated his crib mattress and prefers to sleep on a comforter on the floor (real hard surface) or our pillowtop mattress (real soft surface).
We hope he will us the twin mattress that we buy next for a long time but incase of toddlers you never know so do not want to spend a lot. However can you please help us in finding a mattress, what to look for and why a particular kind is better than the other. How does the mattress affect development of kids who spend almost half of thier life in it?
Really appreciate your help as a first time parent.
Hi Deepa, I would recommend a Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Series mattress for your son in a cushion firm. Our names for these models are the Wysteria Lane & the Concierge Club, and right now both are being offered for the same price from Sealy. The double tempered coils will hold up to an active child & as he grows older if he wants more softness, you can add a topper. You'll also want to get a waterproof mattress pad to protect it from toddler mishaps.

Won't spend much time on this, with the LeGarrette Blount news figuring to dominate today, and because of a likely one-sided game.
If the weather remains dry, Oregon could really put up some points on Washington State on Saturday at 6:15 p.m. in Autzen Stadium. If it rains, cut a touchdown or two off the Ducks' projected production on offense.
I expect the Ducks to put up around 50 points on offense, but to give up a couple of touchdowns, maybe one on a big pass play and one off a turnover. Otherwise, I expect this to be really one-sided.
Oregon 49, Washington State 14

Medical Esthetics Treatments
Lasers and Innovative Skin Care Techniques
By: Mona Sappenfield
Posted: June 24, 2008, from the February 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 7
Offer an incentive, such as a $50 discount on the consultation fee when they receive their first laser procedure. Discuss pricing with your client during the initial visit, and offer options for per-visit pricing and packages. At Mona Spa and Laser Center, our professionals are too busy to offer free consultations, and it is our policy not to quote laser service pricing over the telephone.
It is your professional responsibility to provide informative consultations regarding versatile lasers and to document in writing all discussions pertaining to the outcome of the proposed treatments. Take before and after photographs of all new clients. Many of them forget the depth of their lines, the intensity of their facial redness and the aggression of their hair growth. The results can be remarkable when documented, and clients must be prepared by their service provider during the first consultation of the necessity of going the distance when additional treatments are required. Touch-up treatments can be needed for years.
The most delighted clients are the ones who are the most informed and realistic about the treatment protocol due to a clear understanding that the end result may entail a longer process.
Microdermabrasion and lasers
Purifying facial techniques long have sustained successful estheticians who work with teenage and middle-aged clients. You should continue to practice purifying and cleansing with a cornucopia of fruit-based enzymes and acids containing known antioxidants and skin lighteners to remove all particle matter when preparing the skin for a laser procedure. Professional glycolic peels and pumpkin enzymes dramatically reduce acne bacteria when combined with laser treatments.
The modality that works most efficiently with laser and IPL for skin resurfacing continues to be microdermabrasion. An improvement in acne scarring and brown sun damage is seen when utilizing it. Avoid using aluminum oxide sand because of its potential to produce an allergic reaction to the nickel content in the particles. Sodium bicarbonate sand can be used as a successful alternative.

BURLINGTON– The North Country boys soccer team dropped a close game to Burlington in overtime by the score of 3-2. "It was another strong defensive performance by our squad," said Coach James McKenny. Trailing 2-0 heading into the final minutes of regulation, Brian DeLaBruere put his head to work, putting in back to back goals off his noggin to tie the game. The Seahorses would not be deterred by the Falcons late rally. "Hustle made goals happen (today)," said McKenny.
NEWPORT–It is official. Cheerleading is making it's long awaited return to North Country Union High. After their second meeting on Tuesday, Head Coach Danielle Gage and Athletic Director Mike Kiser both confirmed the team's status as active. "We are going to be cheering at the football games on the 30th and the the 21st (of October) and if there is a play-off game we will be there too," said Coach Gage.
NEWPORT–The North Country Field Hockey team ran into a talented group of girls from Rice Memorial on Tuesday afternoon as they fell to the Green Knights by the score of 3-0. Going into the game, Coach Chantelle Bouchard understood her team would be facing an uphill battle, and her girls were prepared to make a stand. "Our team was playing big defense (today), that is what we knew we were going have to do from the get-go, and hopefully get to 7 on 7 play, but it didn't work out that way."
NEWPORT-The North Country Falcons got down by ten points in the first half before rallying for a 28-26 decision over Fair Haven Friday night. The Falcons senior power back Adam Pothier carried two Slater defenders on his back into the end zone with under five minutes remaining to clinch the win. The Falcons, now 3-0 on the season, showed great resilience and a never say die spirit to complete the comeback. The contest started on a bad omen early as the Falcons promptly fumbled their first play from scrimmage on their own 35.
NEWPORT–When a team is squaring off against a heated rival, and yes MMU has become a rival as of late in the world of North Country girls soccer, the words you do not want to hear are; "Coach I'm sick and can't play." While those are not the exact words spoken to the coaching tandem of Joe Batista and Peter Alexander, that is the situation they faced as starting goaltender Lindsay Geoffrey was unable to go on Thursday afternoon against the Cougars.
DANVILLE–The Lake Region Lady Rangers traveled to Danville on Saturday, and they didn't disappoint the fans that made the trip down to see them play. The Blue and White walked away with a 3-1 victory, much to the pleasure of their Head Coach Brad Urie.
NEWPORT–An ugly first half that saw the undefeated Essex Hornets put a four spot on the board set the stage for a 5-1 win over the Falcons in boys soccer action on Friday. "In this game we learned what works for us as a team," said head coach James McKenny. And perhaps what doesn't, as things did not get off to a good start at all. Essex was issued a penalty kick early in the game, and while waiting for said kick to take place, NC netminder Logan Fortier was issued a yellow card for taunting the Hornets' Said Gosto.
NEWPORT– The Falcon field hockey girls, despite not playing at their best, should have picked up an easy win over the Solons of Montpelier. Instead, they were unable to to get their offense going and fell by the score of 1-0. "I thought this wasn't our game, honestly I am at a lost for words," said Coach Bouchard after the game. The Falcons clearly were the better team on the field, and that is even with all the errors that they made, but it was the little things that bothered the coach so much.
CABOT–The UCA boys varsity soccer team hit the road to square off against Cabot Wednesday night. The final score was a 4-1 loss for the Crusaders, but it was a huge success in the growth and gelling of the team. Though UCA went into the game with no subs against Cabot's 19 man roster, they stayed in the game and kept it close until the very end. Junior Dale Martel and Freshman Chris DeLaBruere split the net and had 30 saves between them. The lone Crusader goal was scored by Junior Marc Quirion.
BARRE–With several of the Falcons main stays getting significant time off on Wednesday, it was the bench of the Falcons was the difference in the teams 4-1 win over Spaulding. "Our bench was the difference maker," said Coach James McKenny, "I feel really comfortable with them out there. Clint (Provencha) especially provided a spark off the bench. He plays with a lot of heart and really raises the bar out there." Josh Puckett was the big offensive force in the game, tallying a goal and two assists in the win, but it was a play by the youngster Provencha that got the scoring started.

Buying Guide: Finding The Right Curling Tool
Curls come in all shapes and sizes. Whether your curls are natural or homemade, there's a tool to enhance or make every type of spiral, on every type of hair. Curling irons are the most commonly used curling tool and they're very versatile. You can create a whole variety of looks depending on the iron type, whether it is spring like the Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron or Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron.
Read on to learn which curling irons create which looks.
Spring Curling irons
Spring curling irons are easy to use and the most popular curling iron type. This is a good iron to start with if you don't own any curling tools yet.
A spring-action arm or clip maintains a firm hold on hair for simple styling. Use your thumb to catch and release sections of hair as you work.
Available in the widest selection of barrel sizes.
Shop All Spring Curling Irons »Clipless Curling irons
It can take a little bit of practice to get the hang of clipless curling irons but once you do, you enter a whole new world of curling opportunities. A popular clipless curling iron is Enzo Milano Clipless Curling Iron 1" Round. A few other clipless curling irons we recommend are the Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron which offers consistent heat across the barrel for long lasting curls and shop our full line of Clipless Curling Irons.
The ends of your hair wrap around the barrel last instead of first so there's less damage or split ends.
No arm or clamp means you curl your hair by wrapping it around the barrel. So, no creases!
Good for getting close to the roots (volume).
Available in a variety of shapes. Try conical or triangle for attention catching curls
Most come with a heat proof glove to protect fingertips.
Marcel Curling irons
Marcel curling irons were originally designed for professional stylists. The extra handle and manual operation offer excellent styling control but they're more difficult to master than spring or clipless curling irons so unless you're a seasoned pro, we suggest working your way up to a Marcel.
Two handles provide exceptional styling control and speedy curl creation.
Hot temperatures and professional grade materials give salon quality results.
Recommended Marcel Curling Irons:
Hot Tools Professional Ceramic Marcel Curling Iron » Andis Elevate Marcel Tourmaline NanoCeramic Curling Iron » Shop All Marcel Curling Irons »Spiral or Ribbon Curling Irons
Spiral or ribbon curling irons have raised ridges on the barrel that guide hair 'round and 'round into perfect spirals.

Try a tapered version to reach close to your roots and create a romantic curl that broadens as it descends.
Recommended Spiral Curling Irons:

Double and triple barrel curling irons actually create waves.
Press big sections of hair at a time for fast styling.

Curling Iron Barrel Sizes
Barrel size is the main feature that determines what your curl shape (and size of course) will be. If your hair is shorter than shoulder length (or has short layers), you'll need a smaller barrel so that your hair can wrap all the way around it. We suggest no larger than 1". If your hair is longer, you can create curls with any size barrel. For real variety and more fun, try an iron with interchangeable barrels like the Barbar 3 in 1 Professional Spring Curling Iron.
Many popular curling irons like the Conair Instant Heat Curling Iron come in a variety of sizes and serious stylists keep a few sizes around for versatile styling.
Here's a handy chart to help you choose the right barrel for your curliest desires:
Curl Type | Best Barrel Size | Hair Length | Folica Faves |
Pencil Thin Tendrils | 3/8" | Short to Medium | |
Shirley Temple Ringlets | 1/2 - 5/8" | Short to Medium | |
Classic Coil Curls | 1" | Medium | |
Long Looping Curls | 1 1/4" | Medium to Long | |
Big, Round "Victoria's Secret" Curls | 1 ½" + Clipless Irons | Medium to Long | |
Loose Flowing "S" Shaped Waves | 2"+ and Wavers | Long |
Curling Iron Technology
Benefits | Folica Faves | |
CERAMIC | Heats up very quickly and maintains consistent temperatures to prevent damaging hot spots. Produces negative ions which smooth the cuticle, add shine and tame frizz. |
TOURMALINE | Magnifies negative ions by up to six times to create seriously smooth, glossy, healthy looking hair. | |
TITANIUM | Provides even heat distribution for consistent styling and its extremely slick surface means no stickiness or snags. | |
ADJUSTABLE & DIGITAL TEMPERATURE | Lets you adjust the temp to accommodate your hair type and styling routine. Use cooler temperatures on fine, thin or delicate hair and hotter temperatures on thick or coarse sections. |
Travel Curling Irons
Curling irons come in all shapes and sizes including minis which are great for traveling or stashing in your desk or car for touchups on the go.
Cordless curling irons (they're butane fueled) are also popular for travel or just the convenience of cord-free styling.
Heat proof mats and cases are handy accessories that protect countertops and other tools (including the curling iron) from heat damage.
Curling iron stands are also great accessories for protecting your counter top from heat damage or scratches. They're heat resistant and keep your curling iron ready and at-hand while you're styling. Most can also be mounted on the wall to save space.

Folica stands behind every product we sell and we honor all manufacturers' warranties. For more information, visit our Returns, Exchanges & Warranty Replacements section.

I use the lip shimmers all of the time and Fig is my favorite. It's a great color as a quick alternative to lipstick in the summer. The minty feeling is nice on your lips, and I keep a tube of Caramel on my night stand. My DH loves to kiss me goodnight...
More reviews by brownsugarncutie
I like this color a lot. It's the perfect amount of red without over doing it. The texture is creamy and moisturizing just like a lip balm and feels very comfortable on my lips ( which I can't say for most lip products). Plus, it feels just like a chapstick so I don't feel too bad about licking it off.
What can I say? I like most of BB's lip shimmer. Minty and it moisturizes my lips to the max. Love it!
Lip Shimmer in Fig is my current tinted lip balm of choice. The crowd I run with doesn't usually wear makeup, so I need a MLBB moisturizing balm (my lips have always been VERY chapped), and this is as close as I've gotten. I totally agree with the reviewer who called it a warm berry color. I didn't buy it at first -- I look best in brick-ish shades, and the color on the cap looked too plum. Turns out it has more of an orange than pink undertone, however (but isn't orange at all, at least not on me).
Happily, the color isn't too strong (nor is it too sheer). I'd initially bought Raisin, which was much stronger (and pinkier).
I'd agree that it's not the best moisturizing balm. Burt's balms in general don't work well on me (my current favorite is Get Real balm).

This is such a weird consistency! I swatched all of the testers and thought this one didn't look too crayon-y. The swatch was a sheer plum-brown and reminded me of Black Honey. When I put it on, it looked very pretty and didn't make me turn orange the way Black Honey does (score!). But when I looked again a few minutes later I had crayon-clown mouth. I looked like a little kid who got into mommy's makeup bag because I had pressed my lips together a few times. I'll keep this around, but I'll have to apply with a mirror and be careful not to rub my lips together too often.
More reviews by lesjoursdepluie
I'm a fan of Burt's Bees lip balms, and I have a couple other shades of the tinted kind. The pale shimmery ones don't really work on me; the darker ones look lovely, but very dramatic. Fig hits a perfect balance, because it has a lovely sheer plummy brown color sans shimmer that I imagine would be flattering on a good number of people. It also looks appropriate for everyday wear. The texture and minty-ness are, of course, fabulous. This is a new HG for me.

My boyfriend bought me this because he thought it would be a nice cranberry shade on me.
My lips aren't particularly pigmented, but this went on really dark for me. A lot of people reviewed this saying it's a MLBB shade, but I don't agree. Or, it wasn't for me at least. It went on dark, leaving my lips a red/brown color, making me look a lot older than I am.
I like the slim packaging though. Great choice for a clutch purse if you want a little color when going out... I would just buy a different color!

I really love this shade. However, if the consistency was a little slicker, the texture would be perfect. However, I've worn this shade for many, many years. If anything, it was my first dark lip product. It has a special place in my heart.
This is an almost exact dupe for Clinique Black Honey...with a tiny bit of shimmer and very very slightly more orange (warm)...but it's not orange! It a YLBB bitten berry-ish color. Hard to describe. Hope this helps someone =)
