Approved Use: LATISSE® is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, darker.
More reviews by sandysandmeyer
While Latisse works wonderfully, my insurance company wont cover it because it is cosmetic. I priced it at our local pharmacies. It would be about $170. for each bottle, which lasts about 8 weeks. I could get it online through a Canadian pharmacy for about $135. a bottle. So
I will not continue using Latisse, as much as Id like to, because I cant justify the cost. Im certainly hoping that I will continue to see these long lashes for a long time to come. Once you stop using it, your lashes eventually go back to the way they were before the treatments. Latisse is applied on your eye lid at your upper lash line. I did use some on my eyebrows because they were thin also. This is not a recommended use for Latisse. Im just sayin.
I found out that Latisse is a glaucoma medication that caused growth in eyelashes. So, you don't want to get this in your eyes. It could change the color of your eyes if you get it in your eyes repetitively. I did not have any eye color changes. I loved this product and would use it again, if it became affordable and/or covered by insurance.
It works! My lashes are longer, darker, and thicker. To get my results, I used only one drop for both eyes with one supplied applicator. I achieved noticeable results within four weeks and full results in eight.
I've read of people using an EYELINER brush instead of the supplied applicators and using one drop for both eyes. I suppose you can do that too, I'm just a hygiene freak so I open the supplied applicator container a bit and take one out, then apply a drop very carefully to my applicator
..( hold it sideways and get so close to it with the bottle of Latisse that you almost touch it and let the drop sort of saturate it that way)...
***I did try to do it with an eye liner brush but... It was really drippy..( so proof that there is alot of product left in the supplied brushes)..
I just use my supplied brush some nights on my brows to finish off if the brush still seems pretty wet.
Once you get the results you like you can scale back to every couple of nights with no issues, so the product has consistently lasted me much longer than what they say it will.
I would describe the way my lashes look as kind of like high end extensions, just very pretty, long and thick(not like giraffe lashes like some extensions I see around)
The con for me is this: It does kind of irritate my lash lines on the nights I use it.
You may find that you are definitely reddened above the lash line after using this. After a few days of not using it the redness dissapates....I think after long term use there is definitely a possibility of darkening of the skin along the lash line. I haven't used it long enough or consistently enough to say this definitively however.
I think that would be the only reason I would maybe not maintain this.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence about using!!!
Oh and ps:
I still use mascara, cant imagine not... So it hasn't eliminated the need for that!!
Mascara just makes them look beautiful and finished..
I purchased a generic bottle of this through a group order and the price was less than $20. It came sealed and with an expiration date. I applied it extremely sparingly every other night for a few weeks along my upper lash line. Unfortunately I couldn't keep using it. It caused extreme redness, peeling and irritation where I applied it. The skin around my eye began to turn red at the outer corner and my eyes were unbearably itchy.
It also caused a brown speck of pigmentation on my iris which has never gone away. I suspect this may be due to the presence of brown and amber melanin deposits that green-eyed people have to begin with.
I do have sensitive eyes; they are light green and even my optometrist mentioned to me that people with green eyes seem to have the most sensitive eyes out there. My friend who also has green eyes used Latisse purchased within Canada and ran into the same problem. I know this is just anecdotal but I would caution ANYONE WITH GREEN EYES PLEASE BE CAREFUL using this. Unfortunately the redness around my eyes took about three months to completely fade.
After decades of looking for an HG mascara, I realized that even the best could only do so much with my extremely short lashes. Especially post-menopausally, they were also starting thin out. The Latisse helps keep lashes from falling out prematurely and though I've only been using it (religiously) for seven weeks, I am very pleased with the results. The other night I kept rinsing my eyes, trying to wash off the mascara when I realized they were my naked lashes, a third longer than they have ever been!
It works very slowly but it does work. Obtaining it was very easy. My friend referred me to her dermatologist. I filled out a medical history form and met with a nurse practitioner for half an hour, at no charge, if I bought the product from their office. It was $120 (discount of about $4 since the company gives the doctor a price break) for a teeny little bottle in a very big box. The NP recommended that I use my eyeliner brush, put one drop in the cap of the bottle and dip the brush. That is enough for both eyes and a run through my thinning eyebrows, too. The side effect of darkening of the iris, she said, only happens to people who use the product for glaucoma and actually put drops in their eyes. My eyes are dark brown anyway, so not an issue. The darkening of the lid line hasn't happened to me, but the NP said her patients who experience this like the eyeliner effect.
As I said, it's over packaged. It comes with brushes that waste the product and do not place a thin line. And it is pricey, but I've spent more than three times that much over time on mascaras that don't do much for me. I can't wait to see full results at 16 weeks and I plan to use this for the rest of my life. Side note: The NP said that after 12 to 16 weeks I can start using it every other day or so, making the cost that much less.
This is available via prescription from a dermatologist. It is expensive, but it works....really well! The only reason I don't use this product anymore is because there is a side effect where it can turn blue or green eyes brown. To me, this is not worth the risk of losing my green eyes!
About 3 years ago I began getting mink lash extensions and every 3-4 weeks, I got a refill. Eventually I stopped getting them to save money and notices that my lashes were really really sparse. Began wearing strips and didn't like them because I felt like they were pulling out more lashes. I didn't want bald spots yet couldn't live without lashes, so eventually I went to a different lash lady while taking hair and nail vitamins. After a few months of going to her, she got them to grow back. I guess her technique was safer which makes sense the same way some hairstylists are better with installing and removing hair extensions than others. Sadly my new lash lady relocated. At this point i was aware that going to another lash lady could damage my lashes so I was really sad. She recommended that I try latisse and another lady that is good with lashes... but I never made it to the new lady because Latisse grew my lashes out so much!
Initially, I noticed small hairs growing in and my lashes didn't feel so flimsy and thin. I actually felt some resistance when I touched them!
Weeks later, the lining of my lashes looked dark and I could see some length beginning to curl upward. Although it was thin, I was excited because it was only a matter of time before the hairs at the lining grew longer.
At this point, I'd began to use lengthening mascaras. I was pleased. Still didn't look as amazing as lash extensions, but worked!
Eventually my lashes were long enough that I didn't feel the need for lash extensions. Which is great since I practically relied on them for years. I didn't want to do any damage to my new lashes.
Whenever I want to glam up, I do use strips. I found a technique for applying and removing them that doesn't pull at any of my lashes. Honestly, I think the strength of my new lashes from the latisse help me properly apply lash strips now. Back when they were weak and flimsy, the glue seemed to get onto my natural lashes making it easy for me to accidentally pull them out. Now, I feel like the glue hardly gets on my lashes at all. I'm sure my new technique is a factor, but I wouldn't be surprised if some credit can fairly go to my results from using Latisse.
I will always keep this stuff.
I use it about 4x per week, for about 6 weeks. Then take time off and start over. I really want to use it daily for 12 weeks to see what results I get, but I am forgetful of this product.
I also use it on my brows. No miracles, the results take longer than the lashes, but the hairs do get longer and I am happier with my natural brows than I have ever been. If they actually made my brow hairs thicker then it would be a miracle. I do not use an extra drop for my brows. I just use whatever is left over from the lashes.
Note: I use the applicators that come with latisse. I just cut half of the bristles off of the applicator first. I've had my bottle forever. I think it expires this month. So you know I've had it for a long time! I've been using it for about a year maybe 18months...can't remember exactly.
I've used Lumigan/Latisse for only 7 weeks and I'm actually stunned by the changes I've experienced. My lashes used to be medium/dark brown and now they're black. They used to be thin, that is I didn't have a thick lashline, but now they're much thicker. And using a magnifying mirror I can see more new lashes coming in. The difference in length is the most amazing part. My eyelashes are a good 75% longer! It used to be that without mascara they weren't that noticeable unless you were close to me. Now without mascara they are impossible NOT to notice, even from a distance. I've heard that it can take 16 weeks to see maximum growth. I really can't imagine what mine will look like in another 2 months if they continue growing at the rate they have been! I know not everyone will see the changes I've had in such a short time, but for me, this stuff is absolutely amazing!

I don't ever want to be without this product. Takes the full 3 months to really see the effect but once your lashes have grown you will be amazed. For reference, I'm Asian with really short, thin, sparse eyelashes.
-lashes are at least twice as long after using for 3 months
-I am experiencing one noticeable but negligible side effect; I feel a bit more pressure around the lash line for about an hour after applying. It's slight and I'm not worried but did want to mention
-lashes almost IMMEDIATELY go back to normal if you stop using. I ran out and I'm pretty sure my lashes were completely back to their anemic self after 2 to 3 weeks
Like others, I use a really thin eyeliner brush (I have several but the one I like the very best is a disposable one that Nordstrom has), place one drop into the cap well and apply to both eyes. I find one drop is more than enough for both upper eyelids and some around the ends of my eyebrows.
Others have mentioned darkening around the eyes so I make sure to NOT close my eyes when applying and really apply it only to my upper lash line. You'll get some on your lower lashes just through blinking.

My Mother & I haved used Latisse off & on for the past few years. It absolutely works to lengthen, thicken & darken your lashes. The best advice I have is to toss those junky, rough brushes included in the package and use a small eyeliner brush. Be sure to thoroughly clean it after each use & you will save so much product & it will last much longer. Although Latisse is not FDA approved for brows, I have successfully used it to fill in a sparse area that I'd always had. There are a few bothersome effects of Latisse, but they are not bad enough to justify I stop using it. The eyelid area where the serum is applied does take on a sort of dark pinkish color. This gradually disappears when you stop using Latisse. I personally have these little white baby hairs that now grow in the corners of my eyes. They do irritate my eyes so I have to pluck them, yes it hurts like crap because you're not used to plucking there. Latisse says to not use the serum on the lower lashes, but don't worry ladies because the serum will work it's way to the lower lash when you close the eye. The lower lashes may actually get too long & need to be trimmed because they can irritate your eyes. The biggest side-effect my optologist warned me about was the possibility of iris darkening. My eyes are naturally this strange green/blue/gray with a yellow ring around the pupil. She said people like me (with eye colors on the cusp of others) are most succeptable to a color change. My eyes have not changed, I try my best not to get the serum in them but it happens sometimes. My eye doctor did say she has never had any of her patients experience a change in iris color. I wish Latisse wasn't so expensive, I've paid anywhere from $90 to $140 for a bottle. By switching to a small eyeliner brush I can get one bottle to last about 3 months.
I've been using Latisse for almost 2 years. I am not going to repurchase it anymore. My lashes are quite a bit longer, but I actually feel like they are thinner and lighter! When I started using Latisse people would comment on my lashes because they were so dark and thick, but they were short! Now I don't get any comments on my lashes, like I said, they are long, but they are very light in color. I wanted Latisse so I could stop using mascara, but it didn't really work out perfectly for me. Plus, the side effects are getting annoying. At first the dryness and itching didn't bother me much. Well, the itching stopped mostly but the dryness persists! I also feel like there is more pressure on/in my eyeballs, it is a weird feeling and that is the true reason that I'm not going to continue with Latisse. Increased ocular pressure can be a side effect, I'm not sure if that's what I'm feeling, but it freaks me out way too much.

I know they don't kill the trees but it's so disappointing to see the beautiful, lush, green growth on my 3 Metasequoia Glyptostroboides and my 1 Taxodium Distichum get devoured by these swarming little pests. The only joy I get is squashing them or drowning the little sh*ts in a bucket of soapy death water!
The pics don't show how orange the devoured foliage looks...I knnow they'll recover just fine...I just hope someome comes up with a solution to the beetles someday.. my 3 Metasequoia below |

who sprayed your lawn??? any applications by professionals??? i am skeptical that beetles can do that to two trees .. of that size .... but i never lived thru a biblical plague .... ken |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 11 at 16:59
Wow! I get some damage on mine but nothing that severe. Even if the damage on my Ogon is ugly it is only a few needles. How do the rest of the plants around the neighborhood fare? Perhaps my area is just a target rich environment with a few other lines of tasty broadleaf trees to choose from besides my two metasequoias. |
I really hope you where on vacation! Gotta get out there and hunt them down before they become such an issue. |
nothing sprayed on the lawn...I'm an organic lawn guy...temps have been in mid 90's with no rain for 2+ weeks.. I do water my lawn but I don't always get out to the perimeter where the trees are (I do water my trees when they're under beetle attack). The beetles skeletonize my roses, metasequoia, taxodium and flowering crab. They chomp to a lesser extent on my swamp white oak and river birch along with some annuals (sweet potato vine and impatiens). This is actually a pretty typical year of beetle damage in my landscape....at least they leave my other conifers alone! Am I the only one with beetle damage this bad? (I'm in Eastern Iowa in the Iowa City area). |
I picked them off the little trees for a while but there must be 1000's in the big trees...way too many to fight.. I have to make sure I don't pick up any hitchhiking beetles in my shirt or in my hair each time I go outside. Nothing like feeling a little pinching on your neck when you're inside only to discover a beetle is under your collar! |
iahawkz4- Have the beetles just moved in, or are they established? When I moved to TN 26 years ago there were no beetles here. Then about 10 years ago they arrived out of the blue with a vengeance. The first couple years there were no apples or peaches or grapes due to defoliation. My redwoods and larches and to a lesser extent baldcypress took big hits. Growth was actually slowed on the redwoods and larches. I almost gave up on crapemyrtles, the beetles ate the leaves, then the flower buds, and when the buds regrew, they got eaten again. For two years I saw no blooms. But gradually the plague has lessened, and I haven't given up growing anything. This year they are just a minor pest. Of course being surrounded by several hundred acres of grass doesn't help. |

I spray freshly transplanted trees with some generic tree protector which lists japanese beetles. Figure the Metasequoia could be eighty foot tall one day and it better figure out how to deal with the beetles on its own. |
kenp - the beetles have been here for at least a few years..I've been in this house for 6 years (new subdivision, bare landscapes) and our trees have only been devoured the last few years. I googled the JB's and a map showed Iowa as the farthest West point of infestation..but the map was a few years old. I can empathize about your trees, flowers, etc. It's a bummer to see them devoured and know there's really nothing you can do about it. |
my trees are all still rather small and they hit the apples first, then the dawn redwoods and bald cypress last year I took excess hot peppers and made a spray that I applied every day to run them off... it barely worked This year we had them so bad I had to break down and get the hose-sprayed pre-mix chemicals. One application and they went elsewhere. We went out to catch them by hand one morning and captured about 175 on four apple trees in about an hour -- that's when I went chemical :-( |
If you don't plan to control them at the grub stage, which can be quite impossible as evident with kenptn suggesting the amount of turf present, you may need to diversify your plantings. By the way JB can kill trees. They may not be the knockout punch but they can stress trees to the point where other diseases and pests come along. I'd consider your damage borderline severe. |

For some reason, I had not seen much of JBs for the past 2 years. for 2 or 3 years prior to that, they were everywhere but they did not really cause much damage. Just very annoying bugs that can't fly straight. Interestingly, past two years, bagworm Infestation got really bad. I watched a neighbor's bald cypress literally go completely bald. |

I used to have problems with Japanese Beatles. Then my neighbors all started putting up those beatle bags. Now every year, the beatles all flock to my neighbors' yards, in pursuit of the chemical attractant in the bags. My yard is left relatively untouched. If your yard is large enough, maybe you could put a bag in a distant corner, as far from your trees as possible. Beats picking them by hand and drowning them in soap solution. |
I found one on my Cornus mas last night. I actually decapatated it and laughed like a little kid. Why bother drowning them, that is a waste of water and soap. |
I like to drown a bunch of them in the bucket of soapy death water and eventually pour the whole putrid, stinky mess into my compost pile. The finished compost is eventually used around my roses...so I guess it's a little bit of sweet revenge? |

Government websites 'attacked by Chinese hackers'
-A A +AMonday, April 23, 2012
MANILA (Updated) -- Three Philippine government websites being maintained by the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) were attacked allegedly by Chinese hackers.
In a statement, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said the three attacked websites were the Official Gazette, the PCDSPO, and the Presidential Museum and Library.
"At around four o'clock in the afternoon of April 23, 2012, the PCDSPO noticed a significant spike in traffic with 'malicious' URL requests from forged user-agents being channeled to the Official Gazette website (www.gov.ph), to the PCDSPO website (www.pcdspo.gov.ph), and to the Presidential Museum and Library website (www.malacanang.gov.ph), causing our servers to momentarily lag," he said.
"We determined that this was a denial-of-service attack. Information gathered through our data analysis indicated that the attack originated from IP addresses assigned to Chinese networks," he said.
He said the PCDSPO is endeavoring to maintain its websites.
"However, please note that we can expect temporary disruption of service while the attack is ongoing," he added.
On April 20, the state-run University of the Philippines' website was defaced allegedly by Chinese hackers, who said that Scarborough Shoal, which they call as Huangyan Island, belongs to them.
But on Saturday, Filipino hackers who called themselves "Anonymous #OccupyPhilippines" hit back at China, with the China University Media Union website vandalized with these words: "Chinese government is clearly retarded. Scarborough Shoal is ours!"
Another website, the http://gh.rc.gov.cn/, was defaced, with the hackers' words: "You got f**ked by the Philippines! Spratly Island is OURS!"
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte earlier urged all Filipinos to exercise restraint following the cyber attacks on the Philippines and Chinese websites linked to the ongoing standoff in the Scarborough Shoal. (SDR/Sunnex)

thirty days of gratitude: day 15.

my amazing students at the down syndrome association.
my classes with families with anyone with down syndrome have been some of the most meaningful classes of my entire life. there is an openness, a sense of compassion, a sense of humor. there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a parent connect with their child through the lens of unconditional love.

I've just returned to Manhattan from an errand in Bushwick, and on the return trip I spent nearly 30 minutes in bumper-to-bumper on the clogged Williamsburg Bridge. I think I can safely say it's every motorist's dream to own a flying car that could avoid traffic by going over it.
This month Dutch company PAL-V unveiled their eponymous product, a flying car known as the Personal Air & Land Vehicle. The two-seater drives like a car—though you and your passenger are seated in a 1+1 configuration, like Maverick and Goose—and can navigate roads well above highway speeds. When it comes time for you to soar over a traffic jam or evade the police, you need to get out and manually deploy the wicked folding rotor blades, then find an open stretch of road to work up enough steam to take off. The former act doesn't look much more difficult than deploying a manual convertible top, but the latter act requires 540 feet of open road (destroying my Williamsburg Bridge fantasies). Have a look:
The company's chief boast is that they've created a vehicle that conforms to international rules of both the road and the skies. Never mind the design challenges associated with producing a flying car—that's nothing compared to navigating the legal barriers. But yeah, you'll still need a pilot's license, and a cool 300 large to put one of these in your garage when they launch in 2014.

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: | 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia: |
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. | 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; | 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, |
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. | 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. |
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. | 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. |
6 And whether we be afflicted , it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer : or whether we be comforted , it is for your consolation and salvation. | 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. |
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing , that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. | 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. |
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life : | 8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. |
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves , but in God which raiseth the dead: | 9 Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. |
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver : in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; | 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, |
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. | 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. |
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. | 12 Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace. |
13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge ; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; | 13 For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, |
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. | 14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus. |
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; | 15 Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit twice. |
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. | 16 I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea. |
17 When I therefore was thus minded , did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose , do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? | 17 When I planned this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, "Yes, yes" and "No, no"? |
18 But as God is true , our word toward you was not yea and nay. | 18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." |
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. | 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." |
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. | 20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. |
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; | 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, |
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. | 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. |
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. | 23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth. |
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand . | 24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm. |

I have been quite ill the last few weeks...and i have not felt like posting. The doctor says that as part of my therapy I should keep walking. So i got out my season ticket and went down to Ness botanic gardens on the Wirral. This is one of the first things I encountered, a hardy geranium. Now i must get one like this for the garden. I went yesterday so it is producing a lot of late colour.
My wife liked this one so much that last night she told me to print it on glossy paper and she has made it into a birthday card. |

Sorry to hear you have not been well, Geoff! Glad the doc ordered you to walk...AND that you chose such a place...so you could share some beauty with us!! It is a beautiful shot...as your wife knows! ~Rosemarie |
Geoff, sorry that you have been ill. How lucky that you have something near with such beauty for you to enjoy while walking. The geranium is gorgeous. Wishing you a speedy recovery, gld |
I hope you are feeling better, Geoff! Lovely and cheerful flower, that Geranium. |

Well I enjoyed the stroll around Ness and for weeks before walking has been difficult.Being a keen hill walker I was somewhat surprised when i started getting chest pains when climbing. It reached a climax at the school where I teach where they had to call for paramedics after i had an attack while carrying equipment. Fortunately it was not a heart attack but i am in a sort of limbo where they are investigating whether I have angina. So I am on sick leave with orders to keep walking and gardening, but nothing too strenuous. |
I hope you are on the mend. Best of luck. |

This is one of my holiday dresses and it's based on pattern #114 02/2013. I had to try this pattern because it seemed so nice on the picture in Burda magazine. I have used viscose jersey and it's really comfortable to wear on sunny holidays ;)
The little jacket is from a German magazine My Image 02/2011. I have used lightweight wool and I wanted to have long sleeves so I used double fabric as cuffs. The buttons is just for decoration ;)
Viscose jersey for the dress and
100% lightweight woll for the jacket

Oct 22, 2013, 08.56 PMby Kocotte

Oct 23, 2013, 06.48 AMby Ellen Hatteland
Thanks a lot! I think a tunic with long sleeves will be perfect for this time of year, but you can also use long sleeves on the dress (if you like to have a dress) :) I like using dresses at work at winter as well with long pants or pantyhose :)

A really nice set, both the dress and the jacket. That dress has been on my "to-do-list" since last spring, but the fabric I want to use keeps pointing in the direction of a halterneck dress….
Oct 21, 2013, 09.18 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thanks Morra – I'm sure you will be happy with this style ;)

28th June here also
Has anyone else noticed this, luckily its not affecting the clients. The last update was the 28th June on my server.
28th June here also
I spoke to oneconnect about this yesterday, they insisted it was my servers, and that other schools were working ok!!!
Thank you, its not just me.
We submitted a ticket on this yesterday, all our 28 schools are the same, it is a One Connect issue!!
28 schools wow !!! thats a lot Paul
Ours is the same, 28/6/2013 error says software delivery failed.
One Connect suck... they set up the network when one of my primaries got a new build. Needless to say they made a hash of it and I was rather annoyed that I wasn't consulted about anything they set up. The man who set most of it up was rude and unhelpful
ps/ all fine here in BwD.
Last edited by john; 3rd July 2013 at 06:14 PM. Reason: final comment on the engineer was not appropriate
Mine have just updated now.
Looks like OneConnect my have seen this thread
Mine's now downloading as well, wierd that!!
As said previously, started failing on Friday the 28th, we raised a log with OneConnect on the Monday at 08:15.
We had a call back on Tuesday at 13:15 saying it was fixed, but it wasn`t.
As the rest of you say it appears to be resolved now.
Last edited by Roger; 3rd July 2013 at 01:27 PM.
We noticed this morning that we have the same problem, we have contacted OneConnect again regarding the problem
Yep, same problem back again, checked one of our schools, updated okay last night, but is now broken again, O Dear!!
Seems to be fixed again here.
Best place to check if its back/if its OCLs fault is to go to http://sophos2.lancsngfl.ac.uk/cids/S000/ (same username as when used as an update source) and look at the date next to ESXP. Looking at it now they fixed it less than 10 minutes ago.

As viagens ferroviárias em Portugal (1845-1896)
Hugo Silveira Pereira
File (.pdf)
AbstractBetween 1852 and 1893 more than two thousand kilometres of railway were built in Portugal, changing the way people travelled across the Kingdom. Before that, travel only took place by river, by sea along the coast or by land where the lack of obstacles allowed it. This new form of transportation shortened distances and thus gave Portuguese travellers more time. Based on contemporary parliamentary debates, the technical opinions of Portuguese engineering (both manuscript in the records of the Ministry of Public Works and published in technical journals) and contemporary fictional literature, this study aims to describe and explain some of the changes to travelling habits in Portugal. We shall see that new habits were brought on by the railway, as well as new concerns and new opportunities, and it quickly became a widely-used public service.

The Raptors continue their season long six-game homestand with a matchup against a horrible Bobcats team that always seems to give Toronto problems.
Start time: 7:00 PM ET
Channel: TSN
Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan, Landry Fields, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson
Charlotte: Kemba Walker, Jeffery Taylor, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tyrus Thomas, Bismack Biyombo
Injury report
Toronto: Andrea Bargnani and Jonas Valanciunas are out, Linas Kleiza is listed as questionable, Terrence Ross is a game-time decision but is expected to play
Charlotte: Byron Mullens is out
Random Thoughts:
- The Bobcats have come crashing back down to earth and have become the team I maintained they would be despite their surprising 7-5 start. They weren't exactly playing great basketball in that 12-game stretch, blew a lot of late leads before barely surviving, and in case anyone forgot, got away with one against the Raptors. But having said all of that, no matter how terrible the Bobcats are, they always seem to give the Raptors trouble. Case in point, two of their historically futile seven wins last season came against the Raps, with one of those wins coming in Toronto. I guess part of the problem is that the Raptors have been a pretty lousy team themselves for the last few years, but they still shouldn't make the Bobcats look so good.
- With Ross expected back in the lineup tonight, I'll be interested in seeing how Dwane Casey manages his rotation. Drew, Oliver and I complained about Casey's lack of consistency with his rotation and the fact that he plays too many guys on the latest episode of RaptorBlog Radio, but then with a depleted bench against the 76ers on Wednesday, Casey could only use eight players and his five starters all logged at least 31 minutes. Even with bodies starting to get back into the lineup, I'd prefer Dwane remained that strict with his lineup and tried to keep his rotation to nine or 10 men on most nights.
- One of the storylines after Wednesday's win over the Sixers was the fact that Jose Calderon played 31 minutes while Kyle Lowry only logged 17 (there were even mentions of Lowry leaving quickly without speaking to the media, though it seems that was blown out of proportion). Given the delicate situation of trying to balance each point guard's minutes, effectiveness, happiness and maybe even trade value, I think we can expect to see Lowry log more than 17 minutes tonight unless he totally shits the bed. And against a quick penetrating guard like Kemba Walker, Lowry would probably be the ideal line of defence, provided he's playing the smart perimeter defence he is capable of rather than selfish, risk-taking defence.
- I'm interested in seeing what the crowd is like at the Air Canada Centre tonight. The Raptors were getting some huge crowds through the first month or so of the season, even against weaker, less star-studded opponents while the Raps were mired in long losing streaks. But then they surprisingly fell more than 2,000 people short of a sellout for a Sunday afternoon game against the Thunder and attracted less than 16,000 for Wednesday night's game against Philadelphia. On one hand, I expect a big crowd tonight because Friday crowds are usually strong, but on the other hand, between the last two disappointing crowds, the fact that it's the Bobcats, and the fact that the Raptors are still nine games under .500 and five games back of a playoff spot, I worry you might see a ton of empty seats, and I certainly wouldn't blame anybody for not spending money on this game.

When to go to Maine
The most popular time to visit is from late-May to early-September, when temps are in the 70s and 80s (but evenings can be cool). During "the season," countless seafood shacks, summer inns, and tourist attractions fling open their doors for Vacationland travelers. October is best for fall foliage, and January and February, the snowiest months, are best for skiing. Spring in Maine is almost nonexistent, bringing temperamental weather and mud (it's even been known to snow in May).

I'm shopping for nutrient products for my hydro tomato project, and I see the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for a product from General Hydroponics. And the warning indicates the product may be carcinogenic and affect organs. Is this just a general warning that comes with all fertilizers or something unique to hydro nutrient liquids? What exactly is the carcinogenic material in the product? What sort of safety gear do you all use when handling these nutrient products? In researching how to make my own nutrient solution I noticed some form of chemicals used in nutrient concoctions can be mutagens. The General Hydroponics product linked below doesn't seem to have any listed mutagens though. http://generalhydroponics.com/site/gh/docs/prod_msds/FloraGroMSDS.pdf |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not to downplay the potential issue, but don't let every generic warning overly scare you. Potassium emits radiation and is therefore a potential carcinogen. Whether that is the ingredient in question I can't say, but it does mean that bananas, high in potassium, are a carcinogen as well. So as with all things, do more research until your comfortable with the potential or know enough to steer clear. happy hunting. |

GH nutes won't hurt you, don't worry. One thing though, don't ever let anyone talk you into using battery acid as ph down. That is a good way to ingest some bad stuff, as any product sold as battery acid may contain up to 1% lead or other heavy metals. |

Nobody seems concerned about nutrient ingredients. Are you all using safety gear when handling the nutrients? |
- Posted by Cole_Robbie none (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 22:22
No, I don't. If you have cuts on your hands, chem ferts will sting because they are salts. Obviously don't get it in your eyes or drink the stuff, but I don't think brief skin contact with nutrient solution is any big deal. |
As a hobbyist grower, I don't think the incidental contact with the nutrients warrants much concern. It is not like I'm picking up handfuls of this stuff to mold clay figurines. I use a spoon to put the fertilzer in tubs to weight them, then dump them in water. Sure I'll ocassionally pick up a granule off the table, but again contact is very incidental. Well, I do tend to wash my hands afterwards, but that's a habit with anything i'm messing with not just fertilizers. ETA: think about Chirstmas lights. Do you wear gloves to hang them on your tree? They have warnings all over them about containing carcinogens. Just a bit of food for thought. |

Save Abbey Hill School !
SERCO want to close Abbey Hill and the 4 other special schools in Stoke on Trent. The proposals state that 3 new units will open and be co-located on main stream High School grounds. The school that has been suggested for Abbey Hill is Birches Head High. Do we want this as parents, staff and governers. There is no mention of any provision for our autistic children. The units will be 'generic' with only 120 places in each. Abbey Hill alone has 211 young people/children. The places will be reduced from 550 to 360. We have are a beacon school with an 'Outstanding' Ofsted Report at Abbey Hill with Performing Arts Status to be proud of.We have dedicated and special staff and special children. WE DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THIS!

"A more accurate example," Hiltzik reported, "might be that if the price of gas or medical care goes up, you cut back on food." That point was driven home in the same Ways and Means hearing in testimony from Joan Entmacher, vice president of the National Women's Law Center, who told the story of Jeannette O'Linger, an eighty-four-year-old widow in Oregon. O'Linger worked until she was seventy-three, but has no pension and lives on a monthly Social Security check of around $1600. Here's how she makes do: "I can't afford meat anymore, but every once in awhile if I see a great bargain, I'll splurge on a small piece of meat. There's a special discount cheese that I like. I make very thin slices ." Entmacher told the Committee this shows "that for some things, you just can't substitute—like dental care you can't afford. You just do without."
Hiltzik translated what the proposed change means for seniors. For the average retiree reaching age eighty-five, the change would result in an annual benefit cut of nearly $1000; for a retiree who reaches age ninety-five, the cut is about $1400—hardly trivial when you consider that income declines as people age. The nonpartisan National Academy of Social Insurance estimates that the total cut in Social Security benefits would total some $112 billion over the next ten years. "As pensions are eroded by inflation, employment options end, and savings are depleted, even a minor erosion in the real value of benefits is a public policy concern," the Academy pointed out.
Hiltzik argued that the proposal to change the COLA formula is not about making the adjustments more "accurate." "The goal," he wrote, "is to cut benefits and thereby cut government costs." What's more, he reported, the BLS has developed an experimental index recognizing that seniors are a special case, so this method over-weights medical care as a factor in seniors' spending. The cost of medical care has risen nearly twice the rate of overall inflation in the last two decades. The press has not discussed the experimental index. But, gosh, that could provide a sixth way of covering the COLA dilemma, and maybe begin to change the national dialogue a bit. How refreshing!

Correction: This article originally reported that Sylvester Schieber was a current exec at the consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide. In fact, Schieber has been retired for the firm for several years. Furthermore, Watson Wyatt Worldwide merged with a company named Towers Perrin on January 1, 2010. The firm is now called Towers Watson. CJR regrets the errors.

A Day of Gaming
In the UK September 25th? Visit Games Day 2011! |
News | Published 20 September 2011 |
Our friends at Games Workshop are hard at work preparing for Games Day 2011, the premier hobby gaming convention in the United Kingdom! If you're going to be near the Birmingham NEC LG Arena, stop by and experience this ultimate celebration of gaming. Check out the details from GW's website:
Games Day is the ultimate celebration of our hobby; a day to meet up with old friends and a chance to bump into a few of the famous faces from around the Studio and the creators of your favourite Citadel miniatures, books and games. Hobbyists travel from across the world and each year's show features a multitude of participation games that you can dive into and take part in; from quick-play skirmishes to full-on grand battles, and all the miniatures are provided. All you have to do is turn up and play.
Games Day is also home to Golden Demon, the most prestigious miniatures painting competition in the world. Every year, thousands take part in the hope of winning one of the prized Golden Demon trophies, and for the ultimate winner, the Slayer Sword. But for those of us who can only aspire to paint to the level of Golden Demon, it is a fabulous opportunity to see some of the finest examples of converted and painted Citadel miniatures anywhere in the world.
Come see us
And once again, Games Workshop will be hosting the FFG demo team as we offer demos of Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game, Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game, Chaos in the Old World, and Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game. We will also have a limited quantity of the highly anticipated Black Crusade and Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game for sale. Stop by to check out these exciting games, chat with us about our latest titles, or pick up a few of your favorites!
This excited event has proven so popular that tickets have sold out, but if you're among the lucky attendees, stop by and see us!
Couldn't they have given us more than 5 days notice?
Wow... if I had heard about this in advance I might even be able to attend it. Oh well I shall just endeavour to get a couple dozen of my friends together to play Space Hulk, and go through Chains of Torment again since Black Crusade isn't out yet.
Does anyone please have any information regarding which Warhammer Invasion packs will be available on the day? Specifically, will any of the Capital Cycle be available?
Shame it's such short notice.
I'll be there, probably hanging around the FFG and Focus (Blood Bowl) stands!

from past Maryland Pony Meets
MD Pony Meet 2012: Coming Soon!
G4 has arrived! The 2011 MD Pony Meet celebrated and welcomed the newest generation of My Little Pony. A few games and contests, as well as this year's mascot, all featured the styles and characters from
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
. But as always, every generation was represented!
The 2010 pony meet featured a brand new outdoor facility, new games and contests, live auction, a mythology-themed custom contest, and the biggest attendance to date!
The 2009 pony meet featured a brand new scooter track for the riveting multi-heat race, coloring contest, live auction, carousel-themed custom contest, and new games!
The 2008 meet was nicknamed the "Year of the Llamacorn" in honor of the strange llama-unicorn hybrid pinata that had become the object of countless beatings over past years in pursuit of candy and other MLP-related goodies that the yearly pinata contains.
The 2007 meet featured a custom contest with the theme "I Don't Wanna Be Me!" in which customizers turned ponies into non-equine animals, among other now classic MD meet traditions.
This year featured many new events, such as the first live auction with a professional auctioneer and our first pony celebrity, Debra Birge!
The 2005 meet brought several new faces and some fun surprises! This meet featured the "Pirate Pony" custom contest, and the first annual scooter race.
These were the years when the meets really started to gain momentum and popularity. So much so that attendees demanded a second meet in the fall!
Due to the growing popularity of the meets, however, it was later decided to remain a yearly event.
These small meets were the humble beginnings of what would come to be known as the annual MD Pony Meets. Starting with only a handful of collectors, the meets only grew with every following year.

In a Times interview, David Dillon, Kroger's chief executive officer, attributed much of the company's success to a tracking system that indicates how often shoppers visit the store and provides information about what they buy.
Kroger also benefits from a successful private-label program that reportedly is a $12.5-billion annual business for the company.
At Pleasanton, Calif.-based Safeway Inc., parent company of Vons, Steve Burd, chairman, president and chief executive officer, reportedly said in a conference call to investors that the company plans to emphasize everyday low prices designed to induce loyalty among shoppers rather than focusing on promotional prices to boost foot traffic.
Tesco's El Segundo, Calif.-based Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market continues in expansion mode. The chain opened its 121st store — its 65th in California — in Pasadena, Calif., this summer and announced plans to open four other stores in California by Aug. 19.
The chain halted its expansion for several months more than a year ago, tweaked its store format and started distributing circulars in areas where it has stores.
The firm announced in a news release this summer that it planned to bring more than 1,000 new products to existing stores, including more Fresh & Easy-brand products, larger pack sizes and more national brands, "as well as exclusive new lines of national brand-quality products at unbelievably low prices."

Unless someone can talk me out of it, I'm thinking about making the investment into a set of 8 Texas Tomato Cages. Yes I really hate the fact that they cost so much but I only have room for 8 plants so it wouldn't be a tremendous strain on me financially. I haven't been able to find any other product that appears to be as versatile and maintenance free. I don't want to build cages out of CRW that rust and I have a very small shed for storage so I need something that can easily be collapsed. A couple of things I need answered first are... 1) Can buy them in a set of 8? 2) My tomato plants don't grow past 4 feet. Do they make a 4 foot version or only 6 foot? 3) Would I be able to fit two cages side by side in my 2'x4' planters? |
Follow-Up Postings:
According to their website information: - All Cages Are 6 Ft Tall & Come In 2 Parts - All cages are sold in 6 packs - Cages are 20" (medium) or 24" (large) in diameter Dave |
If you call they are willing to work with you. They will sell any odd quantity you want, but it may effect the shipping costs. It depends on how many boxes it takes. I bought 9 cages with 9 extensions about three years ago. |
I just called them and it turns out they no longer sell them in 18" diameter and no longer in 4 feet lengths. Bummer. Can anyone direct me to those triangular shape cages that I've seen in photos. |
Something like what this guy made. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S-GY6QMhrqI/SohHq9LLuOI/AAAAAAAAAgU/ZYUWK8zarV0/s1600-h/Garden+09+7Jul5-77.JPG |
There is NO WAY I am going to find catlle panel like that here in suburban NJ. |
You could still use the texas cages if you wanted to. I only bought six although I plant more like 10 plants. I space about 3 feet apart and put one plant between 2 cages. You could put one cage at each far end then one plant in the middle between the cages. I then used the cages as stakes for the middle one and tied it to the cages on each side. I just received a second order after 2 or 3 years so this will be the first year I have enough for all my plants. You can also use just the bottom half of the cage to make a shorter cage and only add the top if/when you need it. It will not hurt to have the cage taller than the plant, and if you are planning to stake another plant to it also, you would want to keep them taller. |

I used TTC last year and was very impressed. But the tomatoes I grow are mostly huge indeterminte heirlooms that can get 6-10 feet tall. I have six TTCs and plan to grow 9 tomatoes this year. I just bought 3 of Burpee's XL Pro Series cages for my extras. They are 18" square by 58" high. Three cages are $45 full price, but you can usually find Burpee coupons by Googling. Mine came to $12 each that way. I haven't used them, but they look very good. They are made of coated galvanized steel. Burpee also sells a slightly smaller cage that's 40" tall for less. |

Look into the "Florida Weave" method. I've been doing this for the last few years and love it. It is inexpensive (just posts and string), easy to do, and very little to store over the winter (just the posts and the string). |

I see you mention rust as a deterrent to building and using concrete wire tomato cages. I should add that I made concrete wire tomato cages for my family when I was in high school around 1994 or so and I am still using those same concrete wire cages this year and they are still doing great. They were never stored anywhere but outdoors and have seen ~20 years of sun, rain and wind and are still going strong. That type of wire is extremely durable and tough. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 7:50
And after a few short weeks, the rust does not rub off on you. My Father used them and had his for at least 30 years. Stored outside. |
FWIW I ended up buying the Burpee cages (12 of them). They fit nicely in my shed on my Rubbermaid hangar system and they are perfectly sized for my raised beds. The quality seems very good and they fold flat very nicely. |
Since this topic rose to the top again, I want to add a photo of my Texas Tomato Cages in 25-gallon containers. They worked great. This photo was taken July 1, 2012, about 6 weeks after the tomatoes were planted out. By the end of the summer, the plants were huge, but the cages held up well. We had a storm with straight line winds over 50 mph, and a couple tipped but did not fall over. The plants were not damaged. |
Here's mine. Made out of PVC pipe and fittings. Cost is about the same as TTC. I've been using this setup for about 20 years now with the same PVC. Follow the link to see how it's done. |

I'm looking to plant an Avocado. I like the description of the Sharwil. If any of you know where they sell Avocado trees on Oahu, please post. |
Follow-Up Postings:
On occasion, the Oahu Urban Garden Center does sell avocado trees--don't know if it's a Sharwil variety, though. They usually have plant sale every second of every month. However, if you really needed the tree pronto, go to Frankie's Nursery at Windward. They do sell avocado. Go to their site to find more information about it and what variety they sell. I also seen Home Depot at Pearl City selling avocado trees before. |
*every second Saturday of every month. |

Avocados are a must. They have been one of my favorite things to accompany almost any meal. They make just about everything taste better:) |

Featuring locally-carved bone, brass beads, and traditional glass beads, this piece is handmade by deaf women in Kenya. A local-brass artisan makes the three-strand clasp by hand for a polished piece that will get you noticed! 19.5 inches long.
The winterberry necklace is made by Susan, an impoverished 24-year-old single mother of a 2-year-old boy. Before becoming a jewelry maker, she collected garbage for recycling to earn money to feed her child.
Thirty-year-old Dorothy made the turquoise necklace. She was rejected by both family and friends because she was deaf. Now with her fair wages from jewelry making, she supports herself.
See the Artisan Story tab for more information about these dedicated deaf artists.

Abstract Specifications
This year we will once again be posting each session's abstracts on the MMLA web site with the goal of fostering communication among the presenters in each session.
In order to expedite the posting of abstracts to the MMLA website, we kindly ask that all chairs and coordinators observe the following specifications. Use our Sample Abstract as a model.
1) Send your session's abstracts to the MMLA office by September 1.
2) E-mail the abstracts as an attachment IN ONE DOCUMENT to firstname.lastname@example.com.
3) Ask authors to keep their abstracts under 250 words, easy for session organizers to check with Word Count.
4) Include the essay's title and the author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address.
Your assistance is invaluable to this endeavor, and we sincerely appreciate the favor of your time and effort as we strive to improve M/MLA's service to all its members and conferees.
If you have any questions about the abstract specifications, please e-mail us at email@example.com.

magnetic dipole
magnetic dipole
Tiny magnet with subatomic dimensions, equivalent to the flow of electric charge around a loop. Examples include electrons circulating around atomic nuclei, rotating atomic nuclei, and single subatomic particles with spin. On a large scale, these effects may add together, as in iron atoms, to make magnetic compass needles and bar magnets, which are macroscopic magnetic dipoles. The strength of a magnetic dipole, its magnetic moment, is a measure of its ability to turn itself into alignment with a given external magnetic field. When free to rotate, dipoles align themselves so that their moments point predominantly in the direction of the magnetic field. The SI unit for dipole moment is the ampere-square metre.
This entry comes from Encyclopædia Britannica Concise.

Reviewed Mexican Bean Stew ("Frijoles De La Olla"
Jan 6, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Easy and great flavor. Re the "when to add the salt" controversy - America's Test Kitchens did multiple blind taste tests and found that adding the salt at the beginning works better (the belief that this toughens the beans turns out to be a myth - didn't hold up to actual side-by side testing). Also, these made great refried beans a day later. ""
