Dutch Bucket tomato and pepper problems
We have an NFT system of lettuce which is doing well in our garage. Next to it, we have a system of ten Dutch Buckets, which are not doing so well. Both systems are from Farmtek. We just started working with hydroponics and these systems in March.
Four of our Dutch Buckets have peppers. The plans are large and pretty, but the flowers keep dropping.
In the same system, we have six tomatoes, Roma and Beefsteak. These were started in February in Rockwool cubes and then transplanted to the Dutch Buckets in Perlite. We use Botanicare's CNS17.
Once the tomatoes started to bloom, we switched over to bloom from the grow and that is when the leaves started to yellow around the edges, starting with the bottom 2/3 first, then curl up, and die. One tomato grew and then suddenly stunted to about the size of a golfball. We thought the environment was too wet (system was on a timer of watering for ten minutes every two hours). We then changed it to five minutes every three hours. We flushed the system with Clearex, and then used Ripe with the Calmag supplement, thinking the nitrogen must of been to high. All nutrients were mixed per package directions; Ph has been about 5.8-6.0 through the entire time. After one week, nutrients are added half-strength. The entire reservoir is replaced every two weeks.
Our lighting system is a 400 watt metal halide, running on a schedule of 12 hours on, 12 hours off per day. We do have a dehumidifier in the garage; humidity has averaged anywhere between 55-65%, temperatures range from 84-95 degrees.
We are stuck as to what direction we should take these plants. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
high temps and low frequency watering can induce water stress. The plant relies on transpiration to transport water and nutrients internally from root to leaf. When a plant is under water stress, its ability to uptake nutrients is adversely affected (no water = no nutes) calcium deficiency is usually the first to appear, adding more calcium to the nutrient solution will only make things worse as its not a lack of calcium its a lack of water moving through the plant :)
A mature tomato plant will get through half to one gallon of water per day.
Thank you both!
We immediately changed over to 300 watt daylight CFLs 6500k. Temp is down to 78-81 degrees and humidity is 70 tops. Seedlings on the side are doing much better and tomatoes have improved and are taking up water again with some new coming on. The first one is still green but growing. The peppers look better and I will begin pollinating them-I was sure that they didn't need that but obviously they do!
Our future goal is a ventilation fan for further cooling.
So do you see a problem with the tomatoes and peppers sharing the same tank of water? This does not have to do with the two not getting along, right?
Thank you again!
The toms will need a slightly different feed to the peppers in the flowering/fruiting stage so it would be a compromise.
The CNS17 Bloom and Ripe look hellishly heavy in phosphorus and toms dont need all that much. The cns grow supplemented with a little potassium nitrate (KNO3) looks like it could fulfil all stages of growth depending on the micro-nutrient content (which i couldnt find values for).
The peppers should do fine with 6.5ml/L CNS Grow + 0.75g/L KNO3, (EC: 2.1). The toms use the same feed upto the 4th true leaf at which point they`d need 7.5ml/L CNS Grow + 0.993g/L KNO3 (EC: 2.5)
To make the KNO3 additions easier, put 4L of distilled water into a 5L container with a lid, add 500g of KNO3, wait for it to dissolve and topup to 5L with distilled water. The 0.75g/L becomes 7.5ml/L and the 0.993g becomes 9.93ml/L, but 10ml/L will be close enough.
Purchased the potassium nitrate tonight(in the form of spectracide stump remover granules).Plan to try your suggestion soon.
Now I was told or read somewhere that the CNS17 Grow was too high in nitrogen once the tomatoes started to flower and you must switch to a lower nitrogen formula at that time, or else no tomatoes. Is there any truth to that?
Also, should I still consider the cal mag supplement in addition to your regimen?
CNS17 guaranteed analysis
Total nitrogen 3.0%
.14% ammoniacal nitrogen
2.86% nitrate nitrogen
Available phosphorus P2O5 2.0%
Soluble potash K2O 4.0%
Ca 2.8%
Mg .5%
Sulfur 1.1%
Mn .05%
Mo .0005%
I am really desperate for some results although I know it will take time. Thanks again.
A lot of growers reduce the N in flower, i guess its carried over from soil growing where high levels of ammoniacal/ureic N caused soft lush growth and very little fruit.
Hydro nutrients have very little ammoniacal N and no ureic N. Most hydro growers that drastically reduce N in flowering also say its normal for the lower leaves to look sickly and die off when its indicative of the plant relocating N from the older leaves to make up for the missing N in the feed.

OK, now that I've went to try that regimen, I found that I am confused about using the g of potassium nitrate. Following your "To make the KNO3 additions easier," which I assume is to be used at full strength, I would have to go through alot of potassium nitrate to get to 40 gallons. Also, do you know of other sources as this is $5.49 per 453 grams at Menards here and if the above is correct it would not be an option for us at that price, especially every two weeks.
What I was thinking from your suggestion of 0.75g/L KNO3:
40 gal x 2.2L/gal = 88L x0.75gKNO3/L = 66g KNO3 total, and
6.5ml/L grow x 2.2 L/gal =14.3 ml grow x 40gal = 572 ml x 1oz /30ml = 19.06 oz grow total
Now, I will admit that I had been only filling the tank to 30 gal and calculating for that to save on nutrients. Now I realize that may be part of the problem.
What are your thoughts? Am I really off here? I am not seeing any changes in my plants again so I would like to change to something like the above soon if I could do it long term financially. Thanks again!
Stump remover will be a lot more expensive per lb than horticultural potassium nitrate. I pay the equivalent of $0.77/lb for mine (Yara Krista K+) but its probably even cheaper in the states.
Haifa Multi-K, Greenhouse grade Potassium Nitrate seems to be a fairly common one in the US.

The dutch buckets have had 66 g KNO3 and 19 oz Grow nutrients per 40 gal reservoir for 1 week today. Less "dying" of tomatoes, some growth returning, and flowers starting to grow tomatoes. The "2 month old tomato" is almost "ripe." They have went through about 5 gallons of water in this week.
The peppers, in the same system, have more flowers now, but I think they are continuing to drop despite pollination with a small artist brush, hoping this gets better this week.
PH was 6.3, ppm (I hope to get EC soon) was 1250. Today, one week later, pH is 6.2 and ppm is 1340(Not sure what I did there but I also have 2 little helpers to distract me often).
Temp is about 76, but did let get to 84 one day last week. Humidity is 65%.
Plan to add 1/2 strength nutrients of what I did last week plus water tomorrow night. Would you agree or is this not the right path?
With peppers and tomatoes in the same system the nutrient strength will need some compromise. I`d reduce it by 25% rather than 50%,PH to 6.0 and track the ppm. Dont forget that as you reduce the feed strength, the elements coming from the tapwater will increase proportionately, calcium being the main one.
You`ll likely find the starting PH will be higher with the weaker feed and the larger percentage of carbonates in the water vs nutes (which are somewhat acidic so higher EC = lower PH) will tend to buffer the ph up for a while so you may need to add more acid (ph down) at the start and a little more periodically to keep it in range.

Yes, you were right about the pH being higher, but once I got it down it stayed and is 6.2 tonight. PPM is 1430 so I think I am starting to digest your info regarding the tapwater elements. Added water today, we are going through more now, but still slow. Plan to clean reservoir and start with new nutrients Aug. 3, same plan but at 1 week only reduce added nutrients by 25%.
I am considering starting 4 tomato seeds to replace the pepper plants until I get the tomatoes figured out. One reason being that I have what I think is an isolated thrip problem on 6 lettuce plants and 1 pepper leaf, treated once with neem oil and no bugs spotted since spraying July 28. Another reason being that peppers will not be as valuable to me this winter, much to the dismay of my spouse.
The peppers would take priority here as the wife loves her hot peppers. Another reason is they have more time invested, they get cut back and overwintered every year. Growing the hotter varieties from seed i`d have to start indoors in january for a decent harvest in november. Toms are lightning fast in comparison.
If your recovering tom plants have non flowering sideshoots of a decent length, i`d throw some in a glass of water to root. They will be ready to go into the system in a week or so..much quicker than starting from seed. You can use flowering sideshoots but ime they take twice as long to root.
I have two tomato plants that are actually dying now. I have saved some sideshoots which will be planted soon where I took out the peppers.
I have noticed a major change in our lettuce since switching to the CFLs. Although the temperature has stayed down, about 80, our lettuce had stunted due to lack of light, and the tomatoes are showing it too now. (Not to mention thrips on my lettuce, ugh). The plan is to purchase some LED grow light panels-full spectrum 400 watts.
My indoor garden is such a downer right now when everyone outdoors seems to be thriving!
Received our first full spectrum 400 watt LED grow light. Plan to test it for a week on lettuce then hopefully order 3 more to replace the CFLs.
Threw out a bunch of leaf lettuce infested with thrips. Neem oil was worthless against them. Found some thrips on the tomato plants and ordered Spinosad.
Whew! Only the basil has continued to do well in spite of all!
Any updates on this?
I have just started to use CNS17.. apparenty there are two formulas... one for Hydro Grow (3-2-4) and soil/coco grow (3-1-2)
Not sure which one is actually better for Hydro. How many ml of CNS 17 do you use per gallon? 10ml of it into a gallon usually sits at around 550ppm on my bluelab combo meter with a PH of about 6.2. I find this amount is perfect for starting small and midsize plants out.
SM-90 will knock down the thrips.
I have started some Tomatos in my system here that I will post about later.

Very nice planter ..Has no drainage holes so I put gravel on the the bottom. My ivy is doing well. I may buy another.
I was hesitant about ordering this item, but I am so glad I purchased it. It is a very beautiful bowl and the colors are so beautiful. It looks great on the shelf. It is on the shelf beside my television and it always catches my eye while watching television.
The "vase" is beautiful and very well made. However, we were in need of a vessel to plant an unusual cactus. This is not possible due to the fact that there is no drain hole.
The size description of these beautiful pots was extremely poor!! the opening of the vase measured only four inches in diameter severely limiting its usage. the minimal size needs to b noted to avoid any hassel to a disappointed customer in having to return the product.
Striking image of elephant in greenish blue against yellow fronds. Unusual in a good way. Even better in person than on the website.

Application of a passively mode-locked quantum-dot Fabry-Perot laser in 40 Gb/s all-optical 3R regeneration
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 9, pp. 9378-9383 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (623 KB)
The application of a mode-locked quantum-dot Fabry-Perot (QD-FP) laser in a wavelength preserving all-optical 3R regenerator is demonstrated at 40 Gb/s. The 3R regenerator consists of a QD-FP laser for low-timing jitter clock recovery, cross-phase modulation based retiming, and self-phase modulation based reshaping. The performance of the all-optical 3R regenerator is assessed experimentally in terms of the Q-factor, timing jitter and bit-error ratio.

FPE Panel replacement options: This document describes steps to take if you are unable to promptly replace an Federal Pacific Stab-Lok® Electric Panel. Here we address the question raised by some readers about what to do if you can't afford to replace an FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panel right away. Replacement FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers are unlikely to reduce the failure risk of this equipment. We recommend that residential FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced, regardless of FPE model number or FPE year of manufacture. We do not sell circuit breakers nor any other products. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. What to Do if You Cannot Replace an FPE Stab-Lok® Electrical PanelThis is information for home owners, home sellers, building inspectors, home buyers, home owners, and electricians regarding steps to reduce the hazards associated with Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® circuit breakers and service panels. Safety warning: as with any electrical installation or repair, these steps must be performed by a licensed and qualified electrician and must comply with appropriate building codes and regulations. Good workmanship and an accurate assessment of the condition of the electrical panel enclosure which is to be re-used are important for FPE Electric Panel.What if Up to Now the FPE Panel Has Seemed Just Fine?Our breakers have already tripped: Some readers report that some of their FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers have tripped correctly in the past. That was good to hear; we don't assert that the failure rate on these circuit breakers is 100% of the time, but in fact the failure-to-trip rate occurs enormously more often than on other non-problem electrical panels and circuit breakers. A problem is that we can't predict when an overcurrent or unsafe electrical condition is going to occur in a building, and we cannot predict exactly when an individual circuit breaker is going to fail to protect the circuit and thus the building from an overcurrent or electrical short. But reporting that "up to now the panel has been fine" or "up to now we've never had a problem" or even "up to now the circuit breakers in our FPE panel have tripped off", is not any assurance that such a system is safe. We've seen that if you do trip an FPE Stab-Lok® breaker, that event can actually increase the chances that it will jam and not trip next time. Our inspector said the panel looked ok to him: visual inspections of the electrical panel or even in-place electrical "tests" of the panel are either unreliable or downright dangerous. You cannot rely on such superficial or inexpert tests, and the very fact that they are offered by some is evidence of a lack of expertise on this topic. Here's what you can do while waiting to replace your FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panel:
If you find any other electrical safety suggestions useful for homes with an FPE Stab-Lok® panel, CONTACT us. The $1000 or so to replace an electrical panel is probably much cheaper than the cost of a fire should one occur. More ReadingGreen link shows where you are in this article series.

Where are the great European Internet companies – the Euro Google, EBay or Facebook? They are out to lunch. That's the view, at least, of Michael Arrington, the Silicon Valley based founder and CEO of the leading technology blog Techcrunch. Earlier this month in
Arrington was actually responding to remarks by Loic Le Meur, a leading French entrepreneur and the organizer of the Le Web '08 event. According to Le Meur, who is also the CEO of the social networking video start-up Seesmic, the big difference between the new media culture in Europe and America is that American entrepreneurs "don't know how to take time and have lunch." Europeans, he told Arrington, "want to know people" and don't judge all work relationships in strictly utilitarian business terms.
This highly controversial and much publicized exchange at Le Web '08 between Le Meur and Arrington has, of course, been grist to the mill of all the xenophobic Yahoos on the Internet. But beyond all the predictable culture-warrior baggage that goes with this kind of debate, there is a serious question here about why European entrepreneurs and companies have generally struggled to complete globally with Silicon Valley.
I spoke to both Arrington and Le Meur last week on the telephone to get a more measured take on their debate. Arrington, an ex lawyer who partially grew up in
Le Meur, who once advised French President Nicolas Sarkozy on digital matters and who himself moved to Silicon Valley in 2007 to found Seesmic, agrees with Arrington about the added structural problems of doing a new media start-up in
I wonder, however, if there is another more fundamental difference between American and European entrepreneurs in terms of the meaning of work in their lives. In his latest book, Tribes, Seth Godin, a leading American marketing blogger, confesses to obsessively checking his email at 4.00 am while on holiday in

Hi kids,
Would someone take a minute and explain the Miralax bowel prep to me, please? My beloved former husband is having his prostate removed next week (CANCER!!!! it's everywhere!!) He sent me his instructions before my last colonoscopy, and I, of course, lost them. Now he needs them back, and I can't find them, so could someone please help me out?
Thanks a million!

Just took a sip of the Kolsch...WOW, very good! This has been kegged for 9 days, and it tastes mighty fine, very similar to Victory's Prima Pils. I might like this one better than your pale ale...
Cheers, EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
Prima is one of my faves as well. This fermented in an Ale Pale that was placed in an Igloo "cube" cooler filled with water and 1-2 frozen water bottles. I tried to change the bottles twice a day. The water temp was around 60 degrees.
i racked mine to secondary today and the beer was incredibly foggy coming out out of the primary. has anyone else experienced this? hopefully it will clear up a lot in the secondary. i suppose i should have tried gelatin, but oh well. smelled damn good and tasted OK for flat and warm. this was my first all grain and the OG was only 1.040 and the FG was about 1.010, not quite the ABV i wanted, but it should be a good session beer.
So what happens if I don't cold crash this and use Isenglass the clear it in secondary? I'm guessing the worst thing is the beer might be cloudier than it would be otherwise.
Retired at the Jersey Shore.
i finally got around to kegging mine after an extended period in the secondary in my basement. it's been 'crash cooling' in the keg for 2 days and i pumped 30 psi on it for both days, not she's at 10 psi and the first glass is a little undercarbed but tasting very nice! questions: do you normally get a few cloudy pints at first? also, what pressure do you serve this at? thanks for the recipe!
Anyone not use finings or clarifiers in Edwort's Kolsch? I forgot to add my irish moss during the boil. I'm curious if it will clear up like it should after cold conditioning or will I be keeping it cold for extended periods prior to kegging for nothing. Should be great either way - I hit all the numbers, mashed @ exactly 151 to 150 for 60 minutes, OG 1.052, just over 5.5 gal wort in the fermenter. I'm using the WYeast 2565 strain. Thanks! Pangea
Heh, I did that too...totally forgot to use the irish moss in the boil. I ended up adding some gelatin finings to clear it up about a week ago. It's almost totally clear now, but I'm still going to wait for a couple more weeks before I attack that keg in earnest. On a kind of related note, I've found that Nottingham yeast produces a beer that tastes almost exactly like Lost Coast's Great White beer. It clears quickly, and is a great "grain to glass" in about 2 weeks. Definitely not a "kolsch" without the proper yeast, but a very tasty beer...maybe qualifies as a blonde ale?
Just kegged this after ~3 weeks in primary and a couple days @ 38F. It came out crystal clear w/ just a little irish moss and no finings. The sample I tasted was fantastic even uncarbed! W/ that being said, I just realized a few minutes ago that I had actually mashed at the wrong temp (154F) w/o even knowing it. It finished out at 1.011-1.012ish, which actually ended up making it taste a little sweeter like a "normal" kolsch which is perfectly fine by me! Next time I'll try it a little drier, but this looks like it's going to become one of my favorite beers yet. Thanks for the recipe Ed!

Although I don't agree that she deserved what she got, it seems that the video clip shown shows her initiating battery on him. It looks like she slaps him while he stumbles and all the while prior to kicking the crap out of her, she is pushing him saying, "Get the F___ out of here."

Long-Delayed Breach Notifications Test Consumer Trust
What's worse — a company that waits 3 years to let its customers know they've been breached, or a data protection office that's forced to turn an investigative eye on itself? The answer is that they're both equally concerning. And what's even more troubling is that both situations happened.

Welcome back to the working week, Source readers. Hopefully, you're still feasting on Thanksgiving leftovers and well-rested from a few days of fun, family, food and football. Not in that order.
Not too long ago, we gave you a first look at writer Matthew Sturges and artist Freddie E. Williams II's new series, JSA ALL STARS, but with the book hitting shortly, why not give you a chance to check out Ryan Sook's lovely variant cover and two more pages from the new series? Glad you agree.
[gallery link="file"]
The traitor stands revealed, and his part in the destruction of the Justice Society of America is complete. While the team's headquarters lies in ruin, the same fate has befallen the team itself! Hold on to your seats, because the JSA as we've known it is in pieces. Can you handle it? Courtesy of Willingham, Sturges and Merino.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #33 hits 11/25.
[gallery link="file"]
February's still a ways away, dear readers, but we figured it'd be a good time to give you an inside look at the covers of some of the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA family of titles hitting that month -- and there's a ton of hitting happening in these pages. Check out the covers for the February issues of MAGOG, POWER GIRL, JSA ALL STARS and the JSA ANNUAL below.
[gallery link="file" columns="2"]
The all-new ongoing series starts here, as a new spin off of the Justice Society struggles to pull itself together after a devastating split. Thew's a new base, new methods, new villains and a frighteningly familiar face. Join writer Matthew Sturges and artist Freddie Williams II as they craft the latest chapter in the legacy of the Justice Society of America. Can't wait until 12/2? Well, what a nice coincidence that we have the first five pages right here to gear you up.
[gallery link="file"]
The Justice Society has always been about legacy. Young and old. Legends and rookies. Together to protect Earth from any kind of villain.
But what happens when the generations disagree?
After writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges conclude their first arc on JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA, the team splits – creatively and literally, with Willingham holding the fort and Sturges moving over to a new ongoing series, JSA ALL STARS, with artist Freddie E. Williams III.

We have 4 stars right now.
Got it! Congrats to us :-). The Platinum bonus has been awarded.
damn it was at 4.03 like yesterday now 3.89 curse those who voted it down I want my plat.!
I guess thats wat happens to games where the devs try and buy the rating?
the rating went down because CoH made it to the homepage,then lots of new players came to try the game but the server couldnt take it and it became unplayable,then the new players rated it down..
Originally posted by mososh:Got it! Congrats to us :-). The Platinum bonus has been awarded.
Atm, the rating is 3.89…
Mososh, 4,2 stars is really asking too much atm.. Can you promise us some plat when the game reaches 4 stars again…;)
Regards, Goontra
Hopefully the server has already been beefed up or will be if we reach 4 stars again. That is why it was rated down so low. Everyone was getting database connection errors because of the amount of people playing at one time. It was not so much the games fault as that people could not play the game and that made a lot of people immediately give it 0 or 1 star.

Web application security: Testing for vulnerabilities. As the Web grows increasingly social in nature, inversely, it becomes less secure.
In fact, the Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) estimated in early 2009 that 87% of all Web sites were vulnerable to attack (see Resources for links to more information). Although some companies can afford to hire outside security analysts to test for exploits, not everyone has the resources to spend US$20,000 to US$40,000 for an outside security audit. Instead, organizations become reliant on their own developers to understand these threats and make sure their code is devoid of any such vulnerability. To write secure code, you must first understand the threats to which your work is exposed.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com World Series was as good as gold for Slammers
Friday, August 8, 2014
ROCHESTER — The Rochester Slammers had already cemented themselves as one of the best teams at the Babe Ruth Softball 16U World Series held in Pittsfield, Mass. Their 8-4 record and Commissioners Cup championship had done that.
Their first game on July 31 was a mercy rule game, but it was the Slammers dishing out the whupping, a 14-4 win over Waretown, N.J., in six innings. No team dominated Rochester, which lost its four games by a total of five runs. "They never gave up," said coach Provencher. "They showed up to play offense and defense all year long." Although the Slammers were young, they benefitted from having five players who played on high-calibre high school teams. Mackenzie Dias (catcher), Madison Provencher (shortstop) and Delaney McKenney (second base) all started for Spaulding High School's team that went 19-3 and lost in the Division I state championship to Dover. Mallory Perron and Catie Langdon were members of Coe-Brown's D-II championship squad. Alexa Gagne and Deanna Scahill proved themselves as quality pitchers. When the Slammers lost to Lodi, Calif., in the bottom of the seventh inning, 8-7, in their second game, they knew then they belonged.
Up 7-4 going into the bottom of the seventh, Rochester gave up four runs in the bottom half to lose the game. Three runs scored on the same play,which included two Slammer errors. "That was unusual for us," the coach said. "We hadn't done it all year until then. It's just one of those things that happened." The Slammers' losses were to Lodi, North Tampa, Fla., 3-2 (11 inns.); St. Charles Parish, La., 2-1, and North Tampa, 5-3. Lodi went to the championship needing to beat Madison County, N.C., twice on Monday. It won the first game, 8-5, but lost the second, 5-2. "To watch that team go to the final and beat North Carolina one game showed us what we were capable of," coach Provencher said. Coach Provencher said there was also some talk about Rochester's weak regional, especially with the two Massachusetts teams not playing in it. The Slammers beat both to end that discussion.
They defeated the host Berkshire Force twice, 6-3 (in 10 inns), and 9-3, and whacked Plymouth, Mass., 12-5 (Mass. state champs). |

Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
HOUSTON -- Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker wasn't ready to rave about his team after the Reds captured a season-high seventh straight victory on Wednesday night.
Still, he's happy with the way the NL Central leaders have been pulling out wins lately.Drew Stubbs delivered another huge hit in the ninth inning, launching a two-out, two-run double that rallied the Reds past Houston 5-3."Well, we haven't been really playing that well," Baker said. "We've been playing well enough to win, which is what we're here for. We've been getting some clutch hits, some very good pitching and that's what it starts with is the pitching ... we've put together some good streaks and that's why we are where we are."Stubbs came through with the Reds trailing 3-2. A night earlier, he hit a two-run homer in the ninth that wiped out the Astros' one-run lead.Both of Stubbs' hits came against former teammate Francisco Cordero (3-7)."That was a huge, clutch hit," Baker said of Wednesday's double. "That was probably even bigger than last night's."The Reds sent Houston to its ninth loss in a row, tying a season worst.Houston scored three times in the eighth to take the lead. But pinch-hitter Xavier Paul opened the Cincinnati ninth with a double off Cordero and pinch-hitter Brandon Phillips drew a one-out walk.Stubbs' double pinged low on the wall in center field to allow Paul and Phillips to score."I actually hit that one a lot better than I hit the one last night," Stubbs said. "Luckily, we were able to hang on there at the end."Jay Bruce added an insurance run with an RBI single later in the ninth.Sean Marshall (3-3) got the last out in the eighth for the win, and closer Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth for his 19th save.Cordero has blown both of his save opportunities since joining the Astros in a trade from Toronto on Friday.The Astros trailed 2-0 entering the eighth before Jose Altuve doubled off Logan Ondrusek. Scott Moore and J.D. Martinez hit RBI doubles and two errors put Houston ahead.Reds starter Homer Bailey scattered four hits with seven strikeouts over seven scoreless innings.Stubbs, who had seven hits and five RBIs in this series, likes the way the Reds are playing right now."It just feels like everything is clicking for us," he said. "If we get down we come back ... and I think that's just the combination of us playing good baseball, getting some lucky bounces and that's the formula to winning a championship. I'm not saying at this point it's going to happen, but that's the type of stuff it takes to do it."The Astros had plenty of opportunities to put more runs on the board but went 2 for 15 with runners in scoring position."That was our Achilles' heel today," Houston manager Brad Mills said.Astros starter Bud Norris yielded five hits and a run with seven strikeouts in seven innings. He hasn't won since May 21.Scott Rolen's RBI single pushed Cincinnati's lead to 2-0 in the eighth.Devin Mesoraco singled to start the third, advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Bailey and scored on Stubbs' two-out double.The Reds turned a double play to end the third inning before Bailey retired six of the next seven batters.Brian Bogusevic singled with one out in the Houston seventh and Carlos Corporan drew a walk. Then with a group of his friends and relatives chanting, "Homer, Homer," Bailey retired the next two Astros to preserve the lead and end his night.Game notes
Baker kept 2B Phillips out of the starting lineup for rest, then used him in the ninth. ... The Astros recalled reliever Xavier Cedeno from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. ... Baker said that star first baseman Joey Votto, on the disabled list after arthroscopic knee surgery, is progressing well but that he doesn't have an official timetable for his return. ... The Reds have a day off Thursday before opening a three-game series at Colorado on Friday. ... Rookie Dallas Keuchel pitches for Houston on Thursday when the Astros open a four-game series with A.J. Burnett and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

WATCH: PJ Harvey's Eerie New Video
Brit alt-rock vet (and all around SPIN fave) PJ Harvey just released her excellent new album, Let England Shake, and now she has a eerie new music video for its title track. Watch below!
The clip is the fourth release from a series of 12 videos directed by Seamus Murphy, each accompanying one song on the album. "Let England Shake" opens with footage of a farmer named John Diment -- a native of Dorset, Harvey's home county and the location where the album was recorded -- reading the song's opening lyrics; several of Murphy's videos will similarly employ non-actors from across England to read Harvey's words.
Watch the other three already-released videos here.
The video then segues into footage of an abandoned and decrepit British amusement park, as the Merry-Go-Round and other rides operate without any revelers in sight. "The dark, slightly hysterical lilt of the melody made me think of a fairground run by Alfred Hitchcock on a bender," Murphy told Newsweek. "
Meanwhile, in her high-pitched coo, Harvey explores themes of war and conflict between nations over a jumpy xylophone riff. In a recent interview with the AV Club, she discussed her writing style and the inspiration on Let England Shake.
"I wanted to tap into the emotional quality [of war]," she said. "What I hadn't felt was that I was at a point in my writing career where I could write about these things in songs and do it well. I didn't think I was at that stage, or had the skill to do that yet, and it's only really the last three or four years in writing this album that I began to try, and having learned more, being a bit older, and having the confidence to try to put some of the world into the song."
The album's sound was inspired by traditional music -- "everything from Cambodian traditional music to Russian to Chechnyan, Georgian, Indian," she said -- and its lyrical themes are also border-crossing, she explained.
"There's a whole variety of lyrics going on on the record, everything from World War I up to Iraq, or possibly Bosnia. I had all these different wars in my mind, and many different countries in my mind... If it's a song that's addressing England, there could also be emotions that other people could recognize in their own countries, or the way they feel about their country..."

US 7725151 B2 Abstract Using pulsed or continuous-wave sources, broadband electromagnetic energy generally in the 10 MHz to 300 GHz range is applied through one or a plurality of near-field antennas such as coaxial probe tips. The electromagnetic energy reflected from the surface or transmitted through the near surface of the object (e.g. surface of skin or other tissue or cells) is detected, and the ratio of the test measurement to that from normal tissue is recorded and presented to determine the degree of dielectric contrast, hence inhomogeneity. This degree of contrast is used both on its own and in conjunction with simultaneously acquired optical images to map the boundary of an organ inhomogeneity such as a tumor. The bundle of antennas may be scanned over a surface of the object on a pixel-by-pixel basis to determine the spectra of the sample on a pixel-by-pixel basis, allowing a two dimensional display of the absorption spectra to be provided.
Claims(10) 1. A method for detection of dielectric anomalies at the surface of human or animal organs, including the skin, other tissues and cells, comprising:
(a) applying electromagnetic energy through an array comprising a plurality of closely-spaced coaxial near-field probes each having a center conductor and a coaxial shield, each center conductor terminated in a tip that is substantially flat and flush with adjacent tips to provide a flat surface positionable substantially in contact with the surface using electrical pulses or continuous-wave excitation with one or a multiplicity of frequencies having content in the range of 10 MHz to 300 GHz at an object positioned on the surface of a human or animal organ;
(b) acquiring the reflection or transmission coefficient spectra or both from the object; and
(c) reconstructing from the acquired reflection or transmission coefficient spectra an image of the object at antenna sample distances shorter than the wavelength of the electromagnetic energy.

Description This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application 60/475,181 filed Jun. 2, 2003 entitled Apparatus and Method for Near-Field Imaging of Tissue, hereby incorporated by reference. This invention pertains generally to the field of inspection and identification systems for diseases of epithelial tissue or for pathology of tissue preparations. While visible light and microscopy helps physicians diagnose the presence of many diseases such as carcinomas, pre-carcinomas and other tumors and related skin diseases, as well as pathologies of tissue and cell preparations (e.g. Pap smears), identification of the disease state is still subject to ambiguity. Having both visible (or fluorescent) and alternative imaging means overlaid on the same presentation would enable the physician to more accurately diagnose equivocal presentations. Alternatively, physicians or technicians without the specialized expertise in pathology could be enabled to more accurately diagnose diseases without immediate consultation of a specialist. Furthermore, the sub-surface condition of the tissue, hence the extent and nature of the disease, is very difficult to assess by optical means due to the limited penetration depth and lack of contrast. By using an array of near-field probes or antennas, operating either alone or co-located with an imaging array using visible light, the present invention is a tool for diagnosis of disease and its extent, e.g. tumor boundaries, helping to minimize the pain and disfigurement of surgery used to diagnose and treat tumors and other diseases of the skin, helping to diagnose malformed precancerous cells in Pap smears, and helping to distinguish between normal and cancerous cells in general. The present invention provides a new approach to detecting and imaging diseases based on near-field spectroscopic imaging with broadband micro- and and millimeter-wave sources and detectors. �Near field� means imaging at antenna-sample distances generally shorter than the wavelength being used. This enables imaging at spatial resolutions much higher than those normally achievable by conventional far-field imaging. �Spectroscopic imaging� means that absorption, reflection and transmission characteristics of the object are measured and displayed as a function of position. Stimulus and detection technology that has been proven in a wide variety of spectroscopic applications is used in a new application to measure broadband dielectric reflection spectra of tissues or cells using a near-field antenna array. Short electrical impulses (in the range of 1 to 100 ps) have correspondingly broad frequency spectra, ranging from the microwave through the millimeter-wave regime. Alternatively, frequency-swept or single-frequency sources covering this range or a subset thereof can provide the required stimulus to perform spectroscopic imaging. Electromagnetic energy in this range has shown efficacy in spectroscopic imaging for detecting both surface and sub-surface anomalies, since, for example, tumors and scars of the skin show strong and specific absorption and dispersion in the 0.001-300 GHz range. Gaining spatial resolution at dimensions much smaller than those normally dictated by the wavelengths being used is done with an array of near-field antennas (e.g. coaxial probe tips). Such arrays channel the electromagnetic energy to and from the object (e.g. tissue surface or sub-surface) enabling a new and informative image of the tissue or cells to be formed. With visible (e.g. fiber-optic) imaging co-located with the array, two types of images can be collected simultaneously and overlaid on a computer screen for a more accurate diagnosis. This can be an aid in diagnosing the type and extent of potentially malignant tumors of the skin. Furthermore, the visible imaging ability can enable an accurate mapping of the skin surface so that an irregular scan of the skin will nevertheless build up a fully registered image. The present invention consists of an array of near-field antennas that can image tissue or cells using the reflection of both visible light and micro- and millimeter-wave signals, which can result from electrical pulses, swept continuous-wave wave (CW) signals, or a combination thereof. Such micro- and millimeter-wave dielectric contrast between cancerous and healthy tissue has been resolved on freshly excised skin tumors using these techniques. While visible light helps physicians diagnose the presence of many tumors, the sub-surface condition of the skin or other tissue, hence the extent of the potential tumor, is difficult to assess, and must usually be diagnosed by surgery, which may require successive biopsies. By using an array of near-field probes, which can be co-located with a means for imaging in the visible or sub-visible illumination, the present invention offers a unique tool for diagnosis of tumor boundaries, reducing the pain and disfigurement of surgery, or speeding the achievement of an accurate diagnosis. Skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma or BCC) is not only the most common of all cancers, but also is a rapidly growing disease, especially in the United States, where since 1973 the incidence rate for melanoma has more than doubled. While melanoma accounts for only 4% of skin cancers, it causes 79% of deaths from the disease, and 54,200 new cases in the U.S. will be diagnosed in 2003 (American Cancer Society, 2003). Diagnosis of BCC is done visually and with Mohs surgery, which involves repeated removal of tissue and examination under a microscope. Diagnosing the presence of a tumor and knowing its extent without performing surgery would save money, pain and even lives. The need for accurate pathology of specimens in general is extremely high, and even small increments in accuracy will result in lives saved. Microwave and millimeter waves covering the frequency range from 0.001 to beyond 300 GHz have been used for a variety of medical imaging techniques, but there are few examples of near-field uses, where the lack of deep penetration�normally a hindrance�is a benefit. Skin imaging is one such example. One of the barriers to using this technology for imaging is the cost of the hardware: typical 40 GHz network analyzers from companies like Agilent Technologies cost over $80,000. To build an array of probes for imaging and attach a network analyzer to each probe would be prohibitively expensive. A notable effort to use frequencies much higher than these is the terahertz (THz) imaging technique being promoted by TeraView Ltd in the UK. They have a laboratory system that can distinguish between healthy tissue and basal cell carcinoma, but it costs �$500 k. There are visible and computer-enhanced visible techniques for imaging and diagnosing diseases of the skin, in particular BCC. These have had limited utility, and have not displaced Mohs surgery as a definitive technique. Ultrawideband (UWB), carrier-free, impulse, or baseband radar has been rapidly gaining popularity in applications where complex and elusive targets are the norm. UWB radar has benefited from very recent advances in semiconductor technology enabling the production of sub-nanosecond pulses with peak powers of over 1 megawatt but having average powers in the milliwatt regime. The present invention uses picosecond pulses with peak powers less than one watt and average powers in the low milliwatt regime. These power levels are non-ionizing and biologically inconsequential, but because coherent detection can be employed, rejecting noise outside the frequencies of interest, useful spectra can still be measured with them. The present technology is based on electronic circuits, and has already proven itself in a variety of other spectroscopic applications. Broadband (as opposed to single-wavelength) imaging has the chief advantage of flexibility: differences in skin composition, even on a single patient, can lead to different diagnoses if only a single-wavelength or narrowband source is used. A source with a broad range of frequencies maximizes the opportunity to detect the signature of a surface and even a sub-surface skin anomaly. Furthermore, time-gating of either a real or a synthetic pulse can enable sub-surface spectroscopic imaging while ignoring the return from the surface. With computer-based control, the present technology allows building of a �trainable� detection system with the capability to ultimately learn the signatures of different skin conditions. Furthermore, the advantages of the present approach to screening over other purely-visible imaging techniques include smaller size, lower cost, and potential for integration directly with other imaging modalities such as ultrasound and visible, infrared and ultraviolet imaging techniques such as cameras. The present invention may be carried out to make broadband dielectric reflection measurements of skin. Spectral measurements can be performed to link the dielectric response to composition of the target. Imaging array techniques can be utilized to improve the detection and location of the target, since fiber-optic light pipes can be used as endoscopes. The integrated-circuit nature of the technology enables arrays to be built as extensions of single-pixel proofs-of-principle. The present invention is not restricted to imaging of the skin, however. In many surgical procedures on other organs of the body, the extent and nature of a tumor may not be clear even with palpitation and visible observation. In such cases, the present invention may provide a useful adjunct to assist with mapping of the tumor boundaries. The present invention is further useful for examining thin preparations of cells or tissues to determine contrast between normal and transformed (i.e. cancerous) cells, since dielectric contrast exists between the two. Further objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As illustrated in As indicated in As shown in Normalized measurements of reflection spectra to and from one particular near-field antenna give results like those in The measurement shown in Further examples illustrating the invention are set forth below. To examine the contrast between normal skin and scar tissue, the procedure of taking and storing a normal skin measurement (Reference) was performed. Then the coaxial probe was placed onto adjacent, healed, scar tissue whose surface was slightly raised, but whose color was nearly identical to that of adjacent skin. Significant and repeatable contrast in the ratio Test/Reference was observed, while for Test measurements made on other normal skin, the contrast was nearly unmeasurable. To examine the contrast between normal skin and common small moles (diameter �1 mm), the procedure of taking and storing a normal skin measurement (Reference) was performed. Then the coaxial probe was placed onto a mole whose color was distinct from that of adjacent skin. Otherwise, the mole was impalpable. Insignificant contrast in the ratio Test/Reference was observed, indicating that a simple change in pigmentation is ignored by the present invention, unless it is detected by the optical sensing capabilities of the fiber optics. The images collected with the present invention can be stored in a computerized database. They can be abstracted and compared with other images, either of similar diagnoses or of contrasting diagnoses. This database can contain not only comments from pathologists but also the abstracted images accessed by an �expert system� algorithm to assist in diagnosis. The database can be accessed via local networks or via the Internet, with proper security implemented. Such a database when connected to the instrument in a �live� measurement can help immediate diagnosis, effectively providing a �second opinion.� It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth herein as illustrative, but embraces all such forms thereof as come within the scope of the following claims.

Levi led you up two flights of stairs all while keeping your hand in a tight grasp. He pushed open a door which led to an office like room filled with books and papers, in the center of the room the was a desk with a name plate that had "Student Council President" engraved on it. Levi offered you a seat and sat behind the desk. He stared at you with a stoic look on your face. Something about him just made you nervous.
"So, Levi… How've you been all these years?" You said with a nervous smile.
"Fine," He grunted, "I was finally able to stand up for myself."
"So I've noticed. I can't believe you're President! That's amazing!" You smiled at him.
Levi felt his cheeks heat up and quickly averted your gaze.
"Y-Yeah… I-I-I never really expected it either," He looked down, " it just happened… What about you? What have you been up to?"
"U-Ummm… Well, I lived a pretty average life in [Town Name]. School there was fine, but I only made two really good friends. I don't know if you met them yet, but it's the boy I was with earlier, Eren, and his sister Mikasa. I think you'd like them." You spoke with joy in your voice.
Levi's eyes darkened when you mentioned Eren. Were you cheating on him? His face twisted in disgust at the thought of you dating that thing you called a friend. A soft growl left his lips as black bangs shaded his eyes. You looked at him with concern. Had you said something to upset him?
"A-Are you alright Levi?" You said placing a hand on his shoulders.
He didn't look up, but he nodded. You removed your hand and sat quietly in your seat, waiting for him to break the silence. Suddenly, Levi stood up and gestured for you to follow him. You complied and exited the room after him.
"I've decided that I should give you a tour of the building before you start classes." He said as he took his hand in yours.
You grinned. This was more like the boy you knew. Levi looked at you and pulled your hand, signaling you to move forward. You followed him as he explained which classes you would be taking and where they were located. You smiled everytime he made a small yet recognizable gesture. He was still practically the same boy.
"So, will I have any classes with Eren?" You smiled.
His eyes darkened again, causing you to shiver. His grip on your hand tightened and you flinched. This wasn't him.
"You'll have to speak with the office about that… I have some business to take care of, so I guess I'll see you later." He growled.
You tried to smile and quickly have him a kiss on his cheek. Levi's face turned a light shade of pink as turned to walk down the hall. He had to know now. He had to know if you really loved him.
'Maybe that boy won't be too much trouble' Levi thought sticking his hands in his pockets.
You sighed and began to look for the class Levi had said was your homeroom. You slid the door open and sat down in an empty desk. You didn't recognize anyone in the classroom until you saw the door open again. Familiar blue eyes flicked in your direction as a smile crossed your face. Eren smiled back at you and hurried to find a seat near you. Once he had gotten settled, you turned to speak to him
"Hey, what's up?" You said brightly.
"Nothing much. How's alone time with Levi go?" Eren said wiggling his eyebrows.
"I-I don't know…" You blushed.
"Looks like someone has a crush." He grinned poking your cheek.
You slapped his hand away and stuck out your tongue. God, he could be so annoying sometimes. The click of high heels caused you attention to switch to the teacher approaching you. She stopped at your desk and turned to Eren.
"Are you Eren Jaeger?" She asked with a small smile.
"Yes." He responded.
"The office has requested to see you." She said pointing to the door
I wonder what that is about? You thought, perplexed at why Eren had to leave.
You sighed as the door shut behind Eren. Looks like you were alone once again.
Eren had never come back to the classroom and it was nearly time for lunch. The teacher finished writing on the chalkboard and dismissed the class. You packed up your books and headed to your locker. As you moved the dial a familiar voice interrupted you.
"Do you have any plans for lunch, [Name]?" Levi's voice muttered.
You looked at him and shook your head. He suddenly took your hand in his and pulled you in the direction of his office. Your brows furrowed as his grip tightened. Just what was this guy's problem? He quickly pulled you into his office and slammed the door shut. There was a lunch set out on his desk. You sat down in the same chair you had earlier and waited for Levi to take his seat.
"So, [Name] how was your first day so far?" He said looking into your [e/c] eyes.
"It's been fine… Except, I don't know where my friend disappeared off to." You said looking at the ceiling.
Levi reached out and slowly put his hand on yours. You turned to him with a blush on your cheeks and a confused expression on your face. Why was he touching you so casually? You attempted to pull your hand away from his, but his grip tightened to a painful level.
"Levi… please stop you're hurting me." You looked at him with concern in your eyes.
Levi's eyes had darkened once again. You pulled harder as your tried to get away. His grip kept tightening and tears began to form in your eyes.Levi suddenly released his grip on your hand and looked at you.
"[Name], I'm sorry… I don't know what came over me." He murmured refusing to meet your eyes.
"I-It's fine, just don't freak out like that again." You said with a nervous smile.
The bell rang causing you to quickly pack up your stuff and leave Levi's office. Levi watched as the door closed behind. Once your footsteps could no longer be heard, he began throwing anything he could get his hands on onto the floor. You had left him. Levi was convinced that it was that boy's fault. He stormed out of his office to find Eren.
Eren waited for you outside of the classroom, he couldn't believe his classes got switched from yours it sucks that they decided to make an unnecessary change in his schedule. He sighed and ran a hand through his brown hair. He couldn't believe you had actually found the guy you always talked about. Levi would provide some competition for Eren, since he never got to ask you out last year and was hoping to get the courage to this year.
Levi walked towards your classroom, hoping to apologize for his actions. Before he opened the door he noticed another figure outside it. It was that boy Eren. Levi turned to Eren and stuck out his hand.
"I'm Levi, the student council president, it's nice to meet you." Levi gave a soft smile.
Eren accepted his hand and gripped it a bit harder than usual.
"I-I'm Eren Jaeger… Nice to meet you too." Eren said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Would you mind coming with me for a second? There's something I need to talk to you about." Levi spoke with confidence.
"A-Actually I was just waiting for [Name] to get out of class, if you could just wait until she comes out--" Eren started.
"No, we need to talk now." Levi snapped.
Levi grabbed Eren wrist an pulled him out of the school building. He roughly tossed him against the outside wall.
"Why do you think you can talk to her so casually?" Levi spat.
"T-Talk to who?" Eren stammered, wiping spit from his jaw.
"'Oh, I think you know who I'm talking about…" Levi said with narrowed eyes.
Eren looked at him, confused, before he began to walk off.
"I really don't know who you're talking about." Eren raised a hand dismissively.
Levi's eyes became enraged. Just who did this boy think he was? Levi ran to catch up to him and swung at Eren's jaw. Eren fell to the ground with a thud. The gasps of students could be heard from all over the school grounds. Levi had just punched Eren. No one knew how to react.
"Levi....? Eren are you okay?!" You pushed your way through the crowd.
"Why did you hurt my friend like that Levi..? I thought better of you."
You looked at Levi once before looking down at Eren who looked very badly beaten rushing over to his side quickly, not before casting a glance of disappointment in Levi's grey blue eyes. You helped Eren up slinging his arm over your shoulder letting his weight lean on while you both walked into the direction of the nurse's office. Levi stared at your retreating figure. Was what he did worth it? He looked at the ground. You had abandoned him once again, but this time it was because someone stood in his way. Levi's teeth gritted. He turned in the opposite direction and stormed off. He knew that this would take a lot of planning.

I love this mascara because my eyelashes will often touch up near my eyebrows and if it is hot or if I am a little sweaty, they will leave smudges near my eyebrows and this mascara doesn't do it! It also makes my eyelashes thick and long in one swoop whereas other mascaras I have to work it for awhile. My only complaint is that if I do a 3rd coat, my eyelashes can become a little clumpy, but I usually don't need to do that.

I am truly amazed that this mascara doesn't smudge on me at all. I've always worn waterproof mascara because non-wp smudges on me. Actually, even most wp ones do too, with the exception of Anna Sui Super mascara and Cover Girl Marathon mascara (discontinued). I got this EL mascara as part of a gift-with-purchase and thought I'd try it on the weekend instead of on a work day in case I ended up with racoon eyes. Not only did it last all day but it also lasted through a couple cat-naps on the couch without a smudge or flake. It also lasts through sweaty workouts. One con for me is that I would prefer that it thickened instead of lengthened.

I gave this mascara 2 lippies. I really liked this mascara at first, when I first applied it. It really does lengthen my lashes, but this mascara doesn't last long at all! After an hour or so I get little black pieces of mascara all under my eyes. It gets dry and starts chipping off. o_o Thats the best way I can describe it. I definitely will not be repurchasing this mascara again!

I LOVE THIS MASCARA! Here is why:
It is very lengthening but separates lashes so that they aren't clumpy, but don't look spidery either. It also adds volume! Doesn't flake and curls my lashes upwards - no eyelash curler needed. Looks like lash extensions or false lashes. Great mascara, I will be repurchasing.

This is by far my favorite mascara in the entire Estee Lauder line. I work as an SA/MA for both Lauder and Clinique (my store is a smaller door) and this is THE BEST mascara! It does not smudge, flake or smear!! It does leave the lashes slightly stiffer than some mascaras, but it is a small price to pay for something that does not come off until I take it off. I've noticed as I have *ahem*matured*ahem* that mascaras seem to smudge easier and I have tried several lately, both Deparment store and Drug store. This is the only one I have found that really stays put for me.
Now, I have read a few reviews of this about the removal, I don't know where some reviewers got the idea that this is warm water removal only. IT IS NOT! I have had success in removing this with any number of Eye MU removers. It was never marketed as a warm water removal method mascara either.
This is pricer, coming in @ $22-$23 a tube, but for the wearability of the product, it is well worth it. I will state, though, as an SA, I get this for free by having gratis. But since I can get any Clinique or Estee Lauder mascara I want, this is the one I choose.

I never strayed from my beloved Lancome Hypnose and Definicils Mascaras until now. I have extremely sensitive eyes and for the past 25 years I also wore contacts so finding non-irritating eye makeup and especially a good mascara which also is easy to remove has been a struggle. Even Clinique mascaras irritate my eyes but both Lancome mascaras never bothered my eyes.
6 weeks ago I got Lasik eye surgery after battling with chronically inflamed eyes for nearly 7 months. It turned out I developed an intolerancy for contacts so I would have never been able to wear contacts again. The procedure went well but I needed to find a water-resistant mascara because I have to use artificial tears for the next few months. Regular waterproof mascaras are difficult to remove and when I read about this EL Mascara (it's a Paula's Pick) I decided to try a sample size tube of it.
So far I like this mascara! It does a good job lengthening and thickening my short, sparse lashes and it doesn't irritate my eyes. The small brush works really well in reaching even the tiniest lashes. No flaking, no smudging, holds well and best of all it's a breeze to remove. It comes off easily by wetting a washcloth (I use a baby muslin cloth) with very warm water, pressing it gently to your eyes for about 20 seconds, and then wipe off. It won't come off using a (waterproof) eye makeup remover or your regular cleanser! Same goes for tubing mascaras and for example Clinique Lash Power Mascara.
After not being able to wear any kind of eye makeup for so many months I'm extremely pleased with this mascara. I even bought a full sized one so now I'm ready to face the world;-) Update: sadly this mascara irritates my eyes after a couple of days wearing it. Back to Lancome mascaras...

I got a tube of this in a GWP and it was AWFUL!!! It flaked all day and really irritated my ocular rosacea. Strange part was that at the end of the day when I went to remove it with my Clinique TTDO eyes makeup remover, I could NOT get the stuff off. I then had to use some Mary Kay Creamy Cleanser #2 and a washcloth to remove the rest. My eyes were very irritated by the time I was done. So glad I didn't buy this stuff.

I don't even know if I am talking about the same mascara here as everyone else because this was the worst mascara I have ever tried. It clumps my lashes on contact and did nothing for lengthening or volumizing for that matter. To start, the formula is goopy and the brush does not do it any favors. The product piles onto the brush and transfers onto my lashes with a honey-like consistency. Overall, it just makes my lashes look like a goopy mess and dries them out during the day. I even tried to apply with a light hand and I still get the same clumpy goopy effect. I would not recommend this product to anyone!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool

This is by far the best mascara I have used for my oily skin/oily eye lids. This stuff does NOT budge until you say so. This lengthens my lashes beautifully and there is no smudging at all. It is a little expensive though and I try to wait until I can get it with a bonus gift. Now, eye makeup remover does not get this mascara off completely. What I do is I use a cotton ball with my makeup remover and after that I use another cotton ball with only warm/hot water on it and it takes the mascara right off. This will continue to be my go to mascara when I need one that will last all day or for a special occasion.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This is the only mascara that I've ever tried which really doesn't smudge! It is also very black and dramatic and volumises well. I have given it 4 stars because it is clumpy and makes my lashes splay out in all directions. I always comb through afterwards but it's still a bit untidy. Otherwise, I will continue to use it just for the staying power.
Edited 7 months later:
I've upgraded to 5 stars. After using it for a month it stopped clumping and went on much more easily. If you wipe the brush before use when it is new it will go on neatly.

Oh My God The lights are out. The phone is out. The internet is out. We are all going to die. Puh-LEEZE! Hurricane left most of my county with no power for 8 days. I actually got some work done. Grandparents did not have electrical service until I was almost a teen ager. They raised 15 children. Is the grid convenient? It damned sure is. Would much rather take a hot shower than draw water from the well by hand, carry it in the house, heat it on the stove, and bath in a basin. Would much rather toss dirty clothes in the Maytag than scrub them on a washboard. Would much rather turn up the thermostat than saw, split, haul, stack wood and feed the stove. But convenience is not "who is left standing..." I get the feeling that the folks that dream up these shows do not get far off the sidewalk.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
