I didn't realize that the site had been broken for me......Here I am. :-)
Hi. Welcome to the chat room. How can I help you today?
For followup questions will I be charged again, as I have to click on accept to get out of your site?
On this page, if you click on accept, you will be charged the amount you said you were willing to pay for an answer. My screen shows in dollars so I'm not sure what you listed as pounds.
You should, however, be able to just close your browser, thereby closing out of the just answer website, without paying. I believe after a bit your deposit is refunded to you.....but I'm not sure how that part works.
I'm just a worker bee....the don't let me play with the money or anything important ;-)
I already paid your fee plus bonus and you said follow up questions were free of charge
That is correct.....I think that the problem we are having is because the question that I answered, and you paid and gave me a bonus for, was locked. Usually free follow up is done on the original thread. But, we can talk on this thread as far as I'm concerned, just don't hit accept, I won't be paid and you won't be charged again.......at least that is how I think it works.....
What would you like to do?
it is just to keep you informed not a question Would you be interested? Will information be private? I have not been asked on the site to request this, so I am wary !!! I had to press accept last night to get out of the site, when I asked you questions but got no reply I'm afraid!!
yes. I would very much like to learn how things turn out. It would be private. Sorry about last night...I never got your question.....the system must be infected with gremlins ;)
You can just close your browser to get out of the site tonight.....not to worry.
In any event there is no way for anyone to know your real name by reading answers on this site....everything is given a code name. Right now you are listed as "jacustomer-d6ck37n3 Ever had anyone around town call you by that name? lol!
Is lol an american term? what does this mean?
it is an internet thing. It means "laugh out loud"
Thanks!!! Told registrar what you said.She was very pleased. Item almost gone Laser today.too. Appt for 3 weeks hence just to check all is well
Alright! Very good news. Glad to hear that the doctor in training is willing to take advice from an experienced retina doc....even if he is on the internet!
Take care and let me know how things progress. Have a great day.
I will indeed keep you posted, as they say here in N Ireland
Ok. Take care.
I do not have a membership plan, as stated on my screen tonight.I remember you saying that you would tell the bosses to cancel this and that I would pay as I go I await hearing from you please. Thanking you in anticipation
Sorry to have to trouble you with non medical problems, but I was at a loss about who to contact. I will do as you suggest. Thanks again for your help
I still have small white broken circles going around in my eye and some black floaters. Is this still alright? They told me at hospital a week ago, that it was a sign that it was getting better and perfectly normal?
I hope to visit the eye clinic soon and wonder if I should ask the registrar if by letting the laser beam slip up and down there had been any damage done or am I not giving it enough time? It will soon be three weeks since the last laser treatment. . My eyesight is slightly blurred and not as clear as the right one is. What should I say? This event may not have anything to do with the blurring at all?
I saw the registrar at the eye clinic today and passed on your best regards ***** ***** sends her very best regards ***** ***** too!
I mentioned the slip of the laser and she said every thing was alright and nothing was amiss! I told her that I could read the chart to almost the bot***** *****ne, when I started going to the clinic, but now I could just read to the fourth line from the bottom as my sight was not so sharp as it was. She then said I had developed a cataract and she says this can happen sometimes..As far as I know I did not have this, when I started the laser. She has made an appointment at my local hospital, for six weks hence, to attend the eye clinic. Would this have formed because of the laser treatment, maybe that is what she meant? You may remember I told you recently, that my eyesight was a bit blurred and not as good as my right eye. She then said before I left her, that I had very good eyesight. She wears glasses and had to put in her contact lenses the first time she did the laser Perhaps it will be good again when the cataract is removed. What do you think please? Mervyn
She said it had almost gone, but said she would give me a few short blasts of laser in the general area, as she called it When I went into her room from the bright corridor, I told her that I had a white circle or flash, but she did not make any comment . As you said it will just take time!
Thanks again for all your help and reassurance over these last weeks, which has been very much appreciated.
I will keep in touch, should I have any more concerns, hopefully not and I will contact you later, after the appointment about the cataract, should I need any advice
Rick, I enclose a second bonus of £10.00 sterling, for your excellent work. Please let me know if this goes to your account alright, albeit in American dollars?
Thanks once again for your help and reassurance. I will contact you again should I have any further concerns, but hopefully not! I have an appointment regarding the cataract, in five weeks time, at my local hospital. I will contact you after this. Can it be done at the Outpatients clinic, or would I have to be an inpatient in the hospital? Mervyn
Thank you once again!
Kind regards
Thank you so much for your reply last night. Sorry I was unable to answer, but it was around 2.30 am here, so I was in bed asleep!.Thanks once again for your reassurance. Should I have any more questions, before I attend the outpatients, at the hospital in Belfast, I will be in touch with you. Hope you are keeping well. Mervyn.
Thanks once again for your reassurance and I will certainly contact you again when Mr Best contacts me with the results. I may have to call over to the local outpatients clinicand I will ask him for a copy of the report to scan to you
I have an appointment at 8pm this evening with a client of my own, I am an accountant in practice, so if you wish to send me a reply, I will answer you later. I should be back around 10pm - 4pm your time.
Hope you are keeping well.
Kind regards
Hello again,
Last time I was in contact with you and was waiting for your reply, a notice came up that my question was now open to all doctors and did I wish to avail of their services?. Maybe you would like to inform the "powers that be" as we say here in Ireland, meaning the bosses, that I only wish to deal with yourself, as you are familiar with my case. Or maybe this a general notice that appears sporadically, with no one specific in mind? Thanks very much. Incidentally, I have not yet heard of an appointment being set up, to advise me of the results of the scan on my retina and the cataract, which the doctor had told me previously, when she did the laser treatment I will be in touch with you, when I see the doctor. It is 12 noon here, so I am sure you are fast asleep in Wisconsin!
Hello Rick
Last time we talked was on 28 July and I still do not have any results of my retina scan, but when I do I will be in touch with you. The reason I write tonight and I hope you will not object to me asking you. as it is not eye related but I value your opinion. I phoned my local; hospital and a nurse, when I told her my story, said everything would be fine to distribute and the bug is only passed only with hand contact. I was in Killarney Co Kerry on holiday staying at a farm guesthouse 300 miles from here and according to the lady of the house, a lady had stayed there the previous week and she was very sick and did not even come to the breakfast table. I had stayed two nights and then at 1am I was sick and vomited, or threw up, on and off till about 2am. I then learned from a lady at the breakfast table the next morning, that her husband had been sick too around the same time and was unable to eat breakfast. This couple were actually from Long Island, N York. My question is this . I bought to distribute, 10 sealed bags of sweets or candies, about 1/2 pound in each amd also hand wipes in a sealed packet for my 92 year old aunt and the sweets being for other elderly and sick relatives and also friends who are teenagers .If you thought that this "bug" if that is what it was, could be transferred, as I had kept some of the packets in a drawer in my room, I would gladly dump the lot no matter about the cost. The Landlady of the house did not tell me about the lady being sick, until the other man and I were sick. I am sorry, but this is a bit long winded I look forward to hearing from you when you have time and I do value your opinion.Kind regards
Hello Rick,
So sorry, but I was in bed last night, when your email came through, but
I now wish to thank you most sincerely, for your very kind reply, to my non eye related question, regarding the distribution of the sweets. You certainly put my mind at rest, so I have started giving them out already! Regarding my retina scan, when I eventually get a result, I will be in contact with you again.
Very best regards.
Hello Rick,
I have finally received an appointment, for Monday 5th November, 2012, at my local hospital. I can only assume that it is in connection with the retina scan, taken months ago. I will be in touch with you, once I know the results.The white broken circles seem a bit less pronounced now, going from light to dark.
Hope you are keeping well
Kind regards
Hello Rick
I just typed you a message but it disappeared!Here I go again
I visiteed the eye clinic this morning and was told that two blood vessels had grown againn and that I would need more laser. They also said that the cataract needed removed to let them see what was going on there, said the consultant. It says on the consent form which I signed, that procedure is for left cataract extraction and implant What does this mean please? The intended benefits are to improve vision. There is a heading for serious or frequently occurring risks as follows:
infection, inflammation,bleeding, partial loss of vision,1:100 complete loss of vision, worsening diabetic retinopathy, guarded prognosis, further surgery. It's to be done bylocal anaesthesia What does this mean please?
I realise that is a lot to digest, but look forward to your opinion, if the treatment is alright. I said to the doctor that I would get it done, as it is not going to improve any on it's own! There is a risk to every operation I suppose
Hello Rick
Thank you for your explanations and reassurance. Can you please tell me how the cataract formed and why the right eye is alright. I asked the consultant once if the right eye would have cataract eventually but all he said was that it was alright so far. In other words it it inevitable? I was able to read to the bot***** *****ne of the chart and only to the 4th line with the left eye today, but about a year and a half or so ago, I could read the chart to the bot***** *****ne with the left eye as well. Is there any way that the natural lens can be retained and be cleaned up for want of a better word? Will the laser treatment on the two blood vessels be done before the cataract removal.? The consultant said that there was scar tissue at the back of my eye . I thought that was alright and that it helped to prevent further recurrence of the bad blood vessels I there anything I can do to prevent this recurrence again?
I look forward to hearing from you
Hello again Rick
Thanks yet again for your advice and reassurance. I tried three times to bring up the website you kindly gave me, for the video of the cataract surgery, but a notice comes up each time, saying there is nothing listed. Maybe it is not available in Northern Ireland?. I will maybe try again tomorrow evening,or maybe you have another site I could try please, as it is approaching midnight and I am off to bed.!
Kind regards
Hello again Rick
Thank you for the email.
Believe it or not there is a full page spread in The Daily Mail today which is a UK daily newspaer, about the advantages and disadvantages of cataract surgery. If you would like to try the website Dailymail.com you may be able to bring it up to enable you to read it on page 49. The main topics are as follows
Monofocal lens which is a traditional lens that corrects one vision length only. Free on NHS but costs £2-4000 privately More if laser used
Multifocal lens with ring which incorporates distance and near vision lenses in one Not available on NHS Cost £2-4000 not including laser option
Accommodating lens that mimics the eye muscle moving backwards and forwards Says this is better than multifocal lens as it does not cloud up the elastic like bag that holds the lens Not available on NHS costs £3-5000
Multifocal lens without rings, which is a newer version of multifocal lens, which combine distance to middle and some near vision, without the side effects of the older version. Says the lens needs careful implantation- for best vision it needs accurate position in the eye, so you need to pick your surgeon wisely . Not available on the National Health Service, so the cost is between £3000.00 and £5000.00 not including laser option. Says it is suitable for short and long sight, mild to moderate astigmastism, or a combination of all three
Now the question, should I go for the NHS as the report says it has been used safely for years and as they provide just one focal point on the retina they provuide good vision for those with medical conditions, which may have damaged the retina, such as glaucoma
I look forward to your opinion, when you have time to read of all of this report ,which I am sure is everyday business for yourself
Hello Rick
Thanks once again for your excellent information, to a lay person like myself!
You were quite right by saying that the odds 1:100 were less tthan that, as the article says 1:1000 may experience some vision loss, as a result of surgery.
It also states that between 10 and 50% of all patients, who are given an artificial lens,will experience some clouding of the implanted lens capsule. This can occur months or even years after the operation, but is easily remedied by a short infra-red laser procedure.The article also states that those with severe short or near sight loss (myopia)have a 1-2 percent chance of the retina becoming detatched after surgery.
Incidentally I was able to google the video about cataract eye surgery.
I will keep in touch should I have any other questions before the surgery.
Hope you are keeping well yourself
Kind regards
Hello Rick
I had an appointment at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast last Wednesday and had laser on my left eye. The doctor said that a blood vessel had grown and was near the jelly in the eye, so that is why the laser had to be done. He said that if the blood vessel penetrated the jelly blood would fill the eye. He conceded that it was not life threatening, but it was better to have it done. He put a stay at the front of my eye. He said it would stop the eye from moving. I did not have this done before. It was a bit uncomfortable for a few hours later after being removed .So then he mentioned that I was listed to have cataract surgery, but did not say when. You mentioned once that after the laser the scar tissue could mean that the eyesight may not be as sharp as before, but is there an alternative, so that the eyesight would not be affected.
I look forward to hearing from you
Hello Rick
Thank you for your answer.
I enclosed a £10 sterling bonus for you but a note came back to me that £18 sterling had been held on deposit, as if I were just starting up a new case. Please let me know what happened at your end and what you received?
Thank you
Please let me know if you received £10 sterling or £18 sterling.or equivalent in American $
Thank you
It is now 23.50 pm here and I just telephoned my bank. £10.00 sterling was taken from my bank to your account at 20.22 pm and another £18.00 sterling was taken from my bank to your account at 20.27pm How did this happen please? As the bonus was £10.00 to you, can you please let me know how I go about recovering the £18.00 sterling. Perhaps you could send the bosses this email and as they have my account number, they can credit the £18.00 sterling back to my account
I await your reply please. Thank you
Thanks very much for forwarding my email to customer support. They have sent an email to me, to clear this matter up and a refund of £18.00 sterling, will be sent to my account, by direct credit.
Hope you are keeping well and do enjoy the Christmas season. I suppose you will be offline for a few days break?
I have an appointment in February at my local hospital . I will let you know what they propose to do about the cataract. It will probably be tne monofocal operation, which is done free on the National Health Service and which you recommended in a previous email
I hope you had a nice Christmas and may I wish you a happy,healthy and prosperous New Year
Hello Rick
I was at the eye clinic a few days ago at my local hospital and when I came to read the chart with the eye which I had the laser done, I could read it to the bot***** *****ne. I noticed that when I tried it initially it wasn't as clear, but when I held my head differently I could read it all to the bot***** *****ne. Why would this be? The consultant said that it was amazing, but he said this can sometimes happen after laser. I said to him that it was the power of prayer and he said yes. So I was given an appointment for six months hence, that is next August. He said no more laser. He did not mention anything about the cataract at all, although I notice that for close up reading the lasered eye is still not as sharp as the other eye due to the cataract. He looked at the good eye too, but did not mention any abnormalities, so maybe I do not have cataract in this eye. He also had a lady assistant with him and he asked her to look at my lasered eye to see the blood vessels. What did he mean by that?
It is now Sunday morning here, that is ten minutes after midnight
Hope your new grandchild is doing well
I look forward to your email
Thank you so much for your prompt response Sorry I could not reply as Iwas in bed asleep!
Please convey my congratulations to both sets of parents, on the recent births of your two grandchildren.
Take care and very best wishes to you and your wife, albeit a grandmother!
Hello Rick
I have just received an appointment to attend a pre-assessment clinic at the Ophthalmic Clinic, at the Royal Victoria hospital in Belfast on 11th March 2013. The doctor at my local outpatients which I visited recently, did not mention that he was making an appointment for me. Would he still be considering having the cataract operation, even though I could read the whole chart with that eye?
I look forward to hearing from you, when you have time, please.It is ten minutes past 11pm here at the moment.
Thank you
Hello Rick
Thanks once again for your email and reassurance
I remember the doctor at my local hospital saying, a good while ago, that when the cataract was taken away, it would let them see what was going on back there. I think he was maybe referring to the blood vessel which had formed at that time and had to hd to be lasered?
I hope you and your wife had a nice meal out on Valentine's Day.
Hello Rick
I was at the Eye Clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital this afternoon.
It is now 7pm here at the moment.
I had the pre assessment done with all the usual procedures. The nurse who looked in my eye, said there was a lot going on in my eye and they neded to take the cataract away, so that the special;ist could see behind. She also said that there was swelling as welll and that more lazer may be required after the operation due to the blood vessels Why would there be a swelling? I could read the chart only half way down with the eye with the cataract, but the right eye, I could read it all, although she said there was a very slight cataract there too but not significant enough to worry about and my eyesight was good in tat eye. She said I might need reading glasses after the operation. I have never needed glasses before Why would this be?.She also told me if the eye started bleeding, during the operation, because of the vessels, a further operation may be needed. It says in the leaflet she gave me that most cataracts are removed by a technique called phacoemulsification. The surgeon makes a very small cut in the eye, softens the cataract with sound waves and removes it through a small tube. The back layer of the lens is left behind and then the new lens is put in. Is this your procedure? Will it be more complicated because I am diabetic? Local anaesthetic is used.
Another complication is tearing of the back part of the lens capsule, with disturbance of the ge,l that may result in reduced vision, or loss of all or part of the cataract in the back of the eye, requiring a further operation by general anaesthetic
The operation they tell me will be either in April or May.
I look forward to hearing from you, when you have time
Thank you
Hello Rick
Thanks very much for your reassurance
The nurse also insisted that I have someone bring me to the hospital, bring me home again and stay with me all night, in case of anything untoward happening. What could happen? I told her that I had not even told my brother that I had cataract, or been having laser treatment. She was adamant and told me that this was 'hospital policy' and must be adhered to! She said I have to bathe my eyes and as I also have dry eyes I need to put in drops daily, from now until the operation She did not complete the section of the Consent for Treatment form, until I told my brother and let her know what I propose to do.Would you insist on all of this?
I look forward to hearing from you, when you have time. It is now 9.25pm
Thanking you in anticipation
Hello Rick
Thank you for your reassurance. The nurse also told me that I would need to get someone to bring me to the hospital and take me back home again and to stay the night with me, in case anything untoward happened and then bring me back to the hospital for a check up the very next day for the doctor to examine the eye and take off the bandage. I said I had not even told my brother about hte laser treatments I had. She was adamant that this procedure should be carrried out and quoted to me that it was' hospital policy' and must be adhered to!. I am not allowed to lift anything heavy or make sudden movements etc she said. Do you agree with all of this ?
Thanking you in anticipation
PS I may have emailed you twice. The first message 'disappeared', but a message came up from Microsoft, that they were having a problem. I clicked the box, which they requested, to send an error report and my first message came up again, so I pressed the send button to you. These things are sent to try us as they say here in N Ireland!!!
Hello Rick
Thanks once again for the reassurance
Incidentally, I won't breathe a word to your wife, about your penchant for shapely redheads, or ginger, as we say here in N . Ireland!!
When I get word from the hospital, about my admission date, I will be in touch with you again
Kind regards
Hello Rick
I had the cataract operation yesterday at the Mater hospital in Belfast.
It went well and the doctor's assistant said after the operation 'you did very well' The put a clip on my finger before the operation. What was this for please? The only problem now is putting in the eyedrops!!. It is certainly not easy, sometimes they end up on my finger or my cheek. Have you any foolproof tips for doing this successfully?. I have drops called Maxidex to be put in 4 times a day for 4 weeks and Chloramphenicol drops, which have to be put in for times a day for 2 weeks and then twice a day for two weeks . The latter drops have to be kept in the fridge. I believe both these drops are to prevent infection. Is that correct?
I was told not to drive for 48 hours. My eyesight is not any better at the moment for reading but I can see alright with the new eye Do you think it will improve any more?. The doctor told me some time ago that removing the cataract will not improve your eyesight. The doctor in my local hospital, told me that they were removing the eye with the cataract, so that they could then see what was going on at the back of my eye, after I had the bad blood vessels lasered previously.
I have to go to my local hospital within a fortnight - 4 weeks- for a checkup.
I look forward to hearing from you
Hello Rick
Thank you once again for your reassurance and advice. The only way I know I have' hit the spot 'with the eyedrops, is when it stings or smarts, as we say here in Ireland. I live alone, so have to do everything myself!
So sorry to have troubled you and thanks for taking the trouble, when you are tied up with your son's graduation and all that entails and all that travelling. I attended my cousin's son's graduation in Youngstown, Ohio, about thirty years ago. It was a grand occasion ,with much preparation attached. Please convey my hearty congratulations and best wishes to your son, on the occasion of his graduation.
It has been very hot this last week, for Ireland that is, circa 22c to 24c ie 72f to 75f, as you say in the States
I am enclosing £25.00 sterling for all your help and advice. It will help a little towards your petrol, or gas as you say, with all that travelling!! Please let me know if you receive it alright Thank you.
Should I have any more worries or symptoms, I hope it will be alright to keep in touch.
Best wishes to you and your wife.
Hello Rick
About seven weeks ago I sent you a bonus of £25.00 sterling which you got alright. When I got my bank statement a further £18.00 sterling had gone through as well. Did you get this . I think what happened was I answered through a new just answer and they charged me for it but if you got the money I am happy enough. Please let me know. You should have got £43.00 sterling in total
I had an appointment at my local hospital today but I was only able to se a Registrar as the surgeon who did my cataract was on holiay.He just confirmed that the surgery had gone well but then gave me the bad news that there was what looks like fluid at the back of my eye. I had noticed these last two or three weeks that there seemed to be a film over my eye.
I also had the broken circles and some flashing going from darkness to light. He then said that I woul;d have to go back to the Royal Victoria Belfast for a scan aof the back of my eye as soon as posible as it could be connected to my diabetes although he said fluid can sometimes happen to a non diabetic person as well.. He is to set up an appointment but unfortunately I have booked for Venice Italy for a week from next Sunday 4 August. So he said he would arrange around this. I also told him had booked to go to Killarney Co Kerry from 7 September for a week's holiday. It is a*****from here. He said it was alright to go on the aeroplane to Italy. I called at the Chemist with my prescription for the eye drops I have to put in for the next four weeks and they did not have them in stock and will not be in until Wednesday. The lady Chemist told me that they did not have these availanble and would therefore have to order them specially. She said they were steroid drops. Are these safe to use?.I could only read the chart to the third or fourth line at the hospital this morning. With my good eye I could read the chart alright. The Registrar said that the drops may restore my sight and it may not!! Sorry to be so long - winded with my explanation. Can you please let me know what you think. Is this a serious complication?
Thank you
hello Rick
Thanks once again for your advice and reassurance.
Unfortunately I could not afford to pay for a bag boy, although if the bag boy ,now that he has the children clothed and shod in decent footwear, could maybe pay for himself, he would be very welcome company for a lone traveller!!! I remember once going from Heathrow airport in London, to Albany, New York and we had a tunnel leading from the terminal building to the aeroplane. At the end of the tunnel it was just below the aeroplane doorstep and I very briefly tripped on it. The captain at the door said "Have a good trip sir".
How apt and an ingenious comment, don't you think? I think this may have been from his collection of witty remarks gathered up over the years
I will be in touch should I have any more worries or concerns
It is now 11.40 pm here, so I am off to bed
Thanks again
Hello Rick
I have been prescribed Maxidex Dexamethasone to be to be used four times a day for one week andAcular Ketorolactrometamol to be used 4times a day one week three times a day for another week twice a day for another week and once a day for the last week.Why is the treatment so long drawn out and how will I manage while on holiday out and about in the mid nineties ? I also have to apply for my drivers licence renewal I have to go for an eye test with an optician. It will not be good and my sight will not be up to standard with drops applied so often
Please let me know what you think is best
Thank you
Hello Rick
Thanks for your advice but this the second time I have had to do this routine treatment, as I did the same thing just after the surgery, seven weeks ago. The registrar said yesterday that it may restore my sight and it may not! He thought the treatment would eradicate the fluid he saw at the back of my eye, but I still have to go for an eye scan to; see what is going on back there;, to use his words.
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks for your invaluable advice and reassurance
I will keep in touch should any other perceived worries or problems arise.!!
I must start my packing soon!
Hello Rick
I arrived back from Venice, Italy last Friday. The temperature was 38c 100f on arrival, but was usually 34c to 36c 93f to 97f with 95% humidity. I really enjoyed my holiday there.
I write to say that I have received an appointment at The Royal Victoria hospital in Belfast, on 30 th August 2013, for an OCT scan of the,retina at the Eye Clinic. Is this being done because I am diabetic and now that the cataract is gone, they can then see what is going on at the back of my eye, as they had intimated before. It says the scan will take around fifteen minutes It also says on the letter, that it may be benificial to bring sunglasses. I do not have sunglasses. Is this really necessary? I look forward to hearing from you
Thank you
Hello Rick
I sent you an email on Thursday 15th August, but as yet have not received a reply. Maybe you were on holiday, as I brought up your site a few times and you were offline I look forward to hearing from you please I could edit the copy I have on your site and then send it again to you.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks again for your advice and for taking the time, during your appointments, when you are so busy. I do appreciate it very much . I will let you know how things go, when I get home on Friday.
Hello Rick
I attended the eye clinic at the Royal Victoria hospital today
An assistant did the scan, but I did not see the doctor. I have an appointment next Monday morning at my local hospital, so I will get the results then. When the scan was being done she told me to try and not blink and to stare.When the scan was finished she said 'you can go home now'
I will tbe in touch with you on Monday night. Thank you.
Have a nice weekend!
Hello Rick
Thanks for your email
Yes, it was an OCT scan, which I had done in the Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast, which is 30 miles away.
I will be in touch with you on Monday night
Hello Rick
I visited my local hospital's eye clinic today and spoke to the surgeon who performed the operation.. He said the surgery was a complete success. He said my eye was much better than one month ago, when I was put on the second course of drops. He did not prescribe drops again. He had not got details of the scan ,which was done last Friday in Belfast, but said if he needed to see me, when the results were with him, he would write to me. I now have an appointment to see him again in six months time. So he must have been happy enough today! He doesn't elaborate too much!! I could read the chart with my right eye to the bottom of the chart today, but with the left eye j ust to the line below the red line Before I had the laser done last year, I could read to the bottom of the chart with both eyes. Will it ever be the same again, or it related to my diabetes, or to the bad blood vessels being lasered?
I look forward to hearing from you
Hello Rick
Thanks for your email yesterday
If I get any word about the OCT scan last Friday, I will let you know. I am going to see my own GP tomorrow morning, so maybe he will have news of the scan.
Kind regards
Hello Rick
I visited a local optician's shop today to get tested for my driving licence that I could see alright. He told me that I would never need glasses for driving but I still cannot see as well with tthe eye where the cataract was removed. I asked him why and he said it is not your own eye and only a replacement so I could not expect it to be similar to my good eye but did concede that it may improve? He recommended reading glasses even though I can read the newspaper r.I had to pay £180.00 stg about $320. He also asked if I used a computer all day. I told him I did not. When he looked at my good eye he said there was blood from blood vessels and later showed me the black mark on the screen. He said to keep a watch on it.He said it could also be hampering my sight as he showed me something very small and it was not clear, which I normally could have seen, but I was probably flustered at being there for the first time in almost 64 years.. Last Friday a taxi driver drove out in front of me with the result I crashed into him. Would the impact of the car crash have caused the blood in my right eye? I forgot to say about it to the optician today Do you think I should make anappointment for the eye clinic at my local hospital. to see if anything can be done. He did not suggest this
I look forward to hearing from you
Hello Rick
I will make an appointment today with my local hospital rather than having to travel 30 miles to Belfast. I suppose the opthalmologist would have the same qualifications in my local hospital? Would they be as specialised though?
Hello Rick
I rang my local hospital eye clinic this morning and the medical secretary looked up the notes and said that when I was last there on 2 September 2013, the doctor noticed that there was fluid in my good eye, so that was why he said he would see me in six months.So I then went back to the opticians who told me that it was blood. I told a different optician there what the hospital had said about the fluid not blood. He said he would mention this to the optician who had seen me yesterday and who said it was blood. The optician today said that when I call in next week to collect my spectacles, he would have another look at the eye with the fluid. How does fluid form and is there anything I can do to help prevent this?
I look forward to hearing from you please.
Hello Rick
The opthalmologist at the hospital said it was fluid in September and he would see me again in six months ,but the optician thought it was blood. When the second optician saw it today he was of the same opinion of it being fluid I think, not what the other optician said yesterday about being blood.. The medical secretary at the hospital said to be guided by what the opthalmologist in the hospital said.and to stick to the appointment set up circa March 2014.
I await your message please
I spoke to the medical secretary this morning and told her I had been speaking to an online retina surgeon. She was very sharp and abrasive and said I do not know if he is qualified or not! She probably would not speak to me if I rang back in the morning. I will visit the optician in about one week and ask him when he looks again if I should visit an opthalmologist
I do appreciate your concerns. I will let you know when I get any information
Thanks again

CNBC's climate-denying 'expert': Carbon is demonized 'just like the poor Jews under Hitler'
A Princeton professor who CBNC billed as an "industry expert" on the climate said this week that scientists were demonizing carbon dioxide "like the poor Jews under Hitler" in order to perpetrate a global warming hoax.
During a Monday interview on the cable business channel, professor William Happer asserted that all climate models which showed the Earth getting warmer were wrong, and compared his fight against the scientific community to Galileo's imprisonment for insisting that the Earth was round.
CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin pointed out that he had a problem with Happer being presented as an expert because the professor did "not believe in climate change at all."
"Just a minute!" Happer interrupted. "I believe in climate change. Shut up!"
Sorkin reminded the professor that he had compared climate change to the Holocaust in 2009.
"Are you suggesting that — when you made that comment — that climatologists and climate scientists are the equivalent of Hitler and Nazis?" Sorkin wondered.
"You know, I get called a denier, and anyone who objects to all of the hype gets called denier," Happer opined. "That's supposed to make me a Holocaust denier. You know, I'm getting tired of that."
"The comment that I made was, the demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler," he added. "Carbon dioxide is actually a benefit to the world, and so were the Jews."

National College TT Championship Volunteer Software is live now
Expand Messages
- Members;After we discussed more detail with USATT and NCTTC, they offered better enticements. USATT and NCTTC are very generous to pay both umpire exam fee and USATT membership fee for umpire volunteers (if you are not an USATT member). In return, umpire volunteer needs to work at least 2 shifts (totally 2 x 5 =10 hrs). One shift must be on Friday and another shift can be either on Sat or Sun. To work as umpire on Fri is a little difficult, it means you need to take vacation or skip the school class. So, I highly recommend any retiree, self-employ or flexible working hour players to apply for umpire position.Table tennis tournament doesn't like college football or basketball sports, they can make good money thru national TV broadcasting. So, please be understandable. NCTTC has only very limited income and budget. Lots out of town volunteers even need to pay hundreds of dollars out of his own pocket.It is a very complicated process to estimate, identify tasks, then assign tasks to a large group of volunteers. So, Plano city just installed Volgistices volunteer software to track all volunteer's activities. I know you may have many questions, some answer may beyond my knowledge. You will find your answer on this coming Sat. training class (please review more info at the following email).Please got o the following link to register for NCTTC volunteer jobs, Thanks a lot for your support.Volunteer application form:Volunteer login: once the volunteer receives a password confirmation they proceed to this site which lists the volunteer opportunities, schedule, training dates, etc.Jon----- Forwarded Message -----

Subject: National College TT Championship Umpire Training ClassHi, Members;Hope you all have a very prosperous new year. There are 2 msgs in this email.1. Newby Robot 2040 for sale $350. including lot of balls and other accessories. Please contact member Kelvin directly at 972-608-0034 or email kienchen@...2. Free table tennis Umpire training class:Time: 01-07 (Sat) 2 PM - 4 PMLocation: Class room at Liberty Recreation Center, 2601 Glencliff Drive, Plano, Tx 75075
The purpose for this class is to train umpire for 2012 National College TT Championship games. This is the first time that a national TT tourney that ever hold in Dallas area. Whether this event can be successful or not, it is totally depending on our local TT community's volunteer support. The most critical volunteer we need is the umpire. Please review the attached NCTT flyer to get more info.The instructor of training class is Scott Ryan, he is an Iinternational Umpire Certified Referee. Probably, he is the best qualified umpire trainer in DFW area. Scot told me he will go thru SERVICE, MATCH CONDUCT, ORDER OF SERVING, RECEIVING AND ENDS, Appendix A Recommended Procedure for Match Officials. Those are critical rules and procedures.There is NO pre-requirement for umpire training class as lon as you know how to play TT games, anybody is welcome to join this class. There is no age limit either. But, I think you need to be at least 12+ yrs to capable to handle the umpire tasks. Actually, for any young players above 12+ yr, I strongly encourage you to participate this class. As the more rules you know, the better chance you can beat you opponent. Plus, it makes you look better if you put the umpire certification on your college application.There will be an open book exam for umpire certificate. Scott told me his 10 and 6 yr sons both passed this exam, so it can not be hard. Besides the training class, we also emphasize the hands-on experience. We will arrange all umpire trainees to practice at Donna's TT tourney on 01-14 (Sat) at Frisco. After you complete our umpire training program, you will become a "Real Umpire" instead of just a "Paper Umpire". The best part is you will have the best trainer and it is free, please don't miss this once in life time opportunity.There is no registration necessary, just go to the class and we start from there. Thanks.Jon

An Earby woman says it is a dream come true to be a part of the Commonwealth Games which start in Glasgow on Wednesday.
Linda Middleton (48), who works as a senior physiotherapist at BMI Gisburne Park Hospital, will be a field of play physiotherapist in the gymnastic arena during the 20th edition of the worldwide event.
Her job will include treating athletes when the need arises from a sprained ankle to applying emergency medicine with a doctor for more serious injuries to the head, spine or for fractures.
Linda said: "I was over the moon to be given the role as this is one of my favourite sports.
"Being selected for the games is a real honour for me, as I will not only be representing my profession and BMI Healthcare, but treating athletes from all over the Commonwealth who are at the top of their game.
"It's a massive responsibility that I make the right choices when treating their injuries and preparing them for competition."
Linda was selected as part of the 200-strong physio team from an application list of more than 3,000. Her journey the Games has been a long one with set backs along the way.
Leaving school with few qualifications, she was identified as having dyslexia at university but graduated with a 2:1, going on to work at Skipton and Airedale hospitals and with professional rugby league players from Keighley, Whitehaven, Hunslet and Leigh.
Linda then spent five years working hard gaining the experience and qualifications in elite sports medicine needed to fulfil her ambition to work at the London Olympics before a family tragedy ended that hope.
Linda said: "In 2012, I was selected to join the physio team and appointed to be a physio for boxing and judo at the London Olympics. Sadly, I had to pull out at the last minute when my dad passed away.
"The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games is going to be amazing. The city is buzzing and just to be part of it and to say 'I was there' is my dream come true."

One more try!
Just thought I'd post a report on our trip incase anyone is looking for info on the Seychelles.
We were there Feb 25 - March 11. It was hot and mostly sunny the whole time. A few days were really cloudy, but that helped keep the temperature down a bit. It only rained for about 15 minutes one day while we were there. The Seychelles are just below the equator so the sun is ferociously bright. Take a lot of sunscreen!!
We spent the 1st 4 nights at Le Petit Village on Mahe, on the beach west of Beau Vallon. It's a great little self catering hotel right on the beach. Each of the 8 rooms has a balcony or patio facing the ocean, a/c, satellite TV and a little kitchen. It's a really nice place. No meals so you have to either cook or go out. There aren't any big grocery stores so cooking for yourself could be a hassle. We took some supplies and ate out some. You can do without a car but it's much easier to have one. We hadn't planned to rent one but then did for 2 days (375SCR per day for a closed car with a/c). We used Echo Rentals and thought they were professional and friendly. At the time, we couldn't walk along the beach to Beau Vallon because the boulders in between were too slippery. It's about a 30 minute walk along a road with no sidewalks or shoulders but everyone does it. During the day, it's a very HOT and humid 30 minute walk on the asphalt and not especially scenic. At night there are stretches that aren't lit very well.
One day we went on a snorkeling trip with Teddy's Glass Bottom Boat to Baie Ternay. Teddy picked us up at the hotel and took us to the Coral Strand Hotel where his boat leaves from. That was fun! 200 SCR per person for a half day trip. On the way back we stopped at a little, remote beach and the boat drivers cracked coconuts for us while we hung out on the beach for a while. Another day we drove into Victoria and looked around and checked out the Botanical Gardens. The last day we walked from our hotel to Anse Major, a remote beach that can't be reached by road. The hike took an hour or so and went along the coast along a pretty good trail. If you do this, take a lot of water! The beach is really pretty.
The taxi from the airport to our hotel cost 125 SCR and was 150 on the way back. By the time we got out of the airport, there weren't any taxis around. There were some buses around for people who had arranged for transfers, and one of them was willing to take us. A taxi showed up and we took that instead. Just to let you know there's not necessarily a huge line of taxis waiting.

From Mahe we went to La Digue for 4 nights. We flew to Praslin on a little 20 seater, took a taxi across the island to the pier (80 SCR, I think) then waited around for the ferry. The ferry cost 80 SCR for 2 people and 2 bags and took 30 minutes over rough water. Our hotel, L'Ocean, sent a truck to pick us up at the pier. It's one of a handful of cars on the island. L'Ocean is an ok hotel. It's on the north point of the island, across a dirt road from the rocky beach. It's a 5 minute walk north to the beautiful little beach, Anse Patates. There are only 8 rooms, 6 of which look over the roof of the restaurant at the ocean. The other 2 are a level up and probably have a much better view. The room was nice enough but most of the staff seemed pretty disinterested. The older gentleman that seemed to be the manager was really nice, hospitable and welcoming. A couple of the other staff members were really friendly but most of the rest weren't. I'd say that's it's biggest downfall. The food in the restaurant was pretty good. It might have been better to stay closer to 'town.' There aren't any street lights out by L'Ocean (and you can't rent a car) so getting around after dark is a problem.
We rented bikes every morning from a guy at the hotel and rode all over the island. The beaches around Anse Source d'Argent are the most beautiful I've seen. Ahhh.... We also took a snorkeling trip out to Cocos Island with a guy named Daniel. Nice guy. You can arrange that at the tourist office right by the pier for 200 SCR per person for half a day. Cocos is a great place to snorkel!! We saw sharks, rays, turtles and all kinds of fish. That was one of the highlights of our trip. We really liked La Digue! It was wonderfully relaxing and quiet. We had to make a trip to the local hospital because my husband had problems with his ear. The dr was really friendly and professional. We were charged 100 SCR for the visit, ear drops and some other medicine.

From La Digue we went to Praslin for 4 nights. We stayed at the Acajou Hotel on the Cote d'Or. It's excellent! By far our favorite (and most expensive) hotel of the trip. Breakfast and dinner are included and the food is great! The staff were all friendly and professional, the rooms are really nice, there's a pool and it's right on the beach. We had room 15, which we decided was the best room. It's on the 1st floor (2nd American) closest to the beach. Any of the rooms would be fine, but this one and the end one of the other building (as well as the ones on the floor below them) have the biggest balconies with the most privacy and best views.
We rented a car for 2 days. Silly me thought we could walk or ride bikes everywhere. Not! We drove all over the island and found that our favorite beach was Anse Lazio. It's great! The water is clear, gentle waves, no plants or rocks in the water and it gradually gets deeper so it's great for swimming and snorkeling (especially around the rocks). The 2nd day we were there, a small shark spent all afternoon swimming up and down the beach. We learned to ignore it and found that it was more scared of us than us of him (hard to believe!). The road out there is VERY hilly. Wouldn't be a lot of fun to ride a bike.
Also visited the Vallee de Mai. That's interesting. The Coco de Mer trees are HUGE!!
The Cote d'Or gets really shallow at low tide. At high tide a lot of sea grass washed up on the beach and the water wasn't so pretty.

After Praslin we flew back to Mahe and spent the last 2 nights at the Allamanda Hotel on the east-southeast coast. It's an ok hotel. It's right on the beach, Anse Forbans. The water has lots of rocks and seagrass so isn't so great for swimming. It has 10 rooms, some have balconies and others just have big windows. Some of the rooms are on the side of the hotel so they don't have good ocean views. Breakfast was pretty good and the staff was friendly. The rooms were nice enough. There's a sign at the door saying there's a dress code after 18:00; no shorts, sandals, torn jeans, etc. We thought that was a little stupid. It's not a 5 star hotel or anything and it's too hot to say no shorts. We didn't eat there so I can't say how their dinners are.
You really need a car if you're staying there. We hadn't planned to because I thought we could walk everywhere (we walk a lot). It's just too hot and humid to walk a couple of miles to a beach, up and down hills on narrow, zig zag roads with no shoulders, carrying all of your stuff for the day. We ended up renting a car for the 3 days we were there. We used Echo again and got the same car, this time for 300 SCR per day. They met us at the airport with the car and we dropped it off there when we left.
We drove to Anse Royale, down by Fairyland, which is a pretty good place to snorkel. We were there at low tide and some places were too shallow. There are rocks and places with sea grass in the water, but you can swim around or over them. It's not the best place to snorkel but is pretty good. Down the road a bit is an openair restaurant called Kaz Kreole that has good pizza, right on the beach. We also drove to Baie Lazare, Anse Takamaka, Anse Intendence and Anse Soleil. The 1st 3 are supposed to have strong waves and currents at some times of the year but they were really calm while we were there. Anse Soleil is by far the prettiest beach that we saw on the south end of the island. There's a little cafe next to it with pretty good food and excellent views of the bay. There's also a hotel there. It's a bit remote but I think it would be nice to stay by this pretty beach.
Looked for the Splash Cafe that was owned by Tom Hanks' sister but it has closed. Ate lunch at La Sirene. It's a very casual, openair place with decent food.

Some miscellaneous comments...
If you rent a car, call around. We called a few places and were quoted very different rates. Local calls from our hotels were cheap and phone books were in the rooms. I had read that minimokes were the car to rent. They're small dune buggy looking vehicles. They don't look that comfortable, you can't lock anything up and they're completely open. You can probably get a real car for the same price.
We saw ATMs on each island. You get a better rate for exchanging travelers' checks than cash. It's against the law to change money with Joe on the street even though he'll offer a better rate. Hotels will change money for you at the bank rate and none charged commission.
If you rent a car and buy gas, check the pump to make sure you're getting what you paid for. The first 2 times we bought gas, the gas gauge hardly budged. We just figured gas was horribly expensive. The 3rd time we bought 100 SCR of gas, we went from empty to half a tank! Each gas station had an attendant that pumped the gas and took the money while we were in the car.
I was told by a local that she boils the water before drinking it. We just bought bottled water.
Maybe other times of the year it's cooler, but it was quite hot and humid while we were there. We had no need of long sleeves, jackets or anything like that. We were hot and sweaty all day. We washed out our t-shirts and shorts in the sink every night. Hotels will do laundry for you at hotel prices. Take a t-shirt to wear snorkeling so your back doesn't fry. Take a hat to keep your scalp from getting sun burned.
Take lots of sunscreen, film and batteries. You may find what you need there but it will cost at least double. We had to buy several camera batteries before we found 2 that were still good. Anything else that you have to have, take plenty with you.
Each hotel we stayed at provided beach towels.
Any questions, just e-mail me!

Been there. And I rather go back to St. John. Much cheaper, easier to get to and we too had a hard time with humidity. Also we stayed at L'Ocean and I agree with you about the staff not being iterested in their guests. We are glad we went there but if we knew what Seychelle is about we could just simply rather go to St. John.

So Paige you spent two weeks here and now you consider yourself an expert? Because you claim you know everything here are two for you. How wide is Praslin? What time the sun rises in June? There are too many things in your report about Seychelles that are not true. Or maybe this is how turists from America see Seychelles. Maybe some of us treat European differently because of people from your country who come here and tell us how we should act, speak, and think. I am sorry about being upset but you don't know anything about our country.

Hey Nospam, I didn't claim to be an expert on the Seychelles, or to know everything, nor did we go there and tell anyone how to act, speak, and think. We were tourists there for 2 weeks, that's it. When I was researching for our trip I had a hard time finding info, so my post was simply meant to help others in the same position.
What exactly is your problem with my post?
You say 'There are too many things in your report about Seychelles that are not true.' Like what? Considering I gave my opinion based on my experiences, I'd like to know what you're so upset about.
Finally, we loved the Seychelles. Maybe you misinterpreted my report or can't accept any negative comments.

DEER SPRINGS -- An increase in the assessment rate for fire suppression this year will be less than the Deer Springs Fire Protection District board initially expected.
After taking time during a special meeting Monday morning to do more research, the board voted to increase the assessment from four to seven cents per benefit unit, instead of 10 cents. A benefit unit is one square residential foot.
The increase will raise the assessment on a 2,000-square-foot house from $80 a year to $140, plus the $250 standby/availability fee.
Under the proposal approved during last week's election, the board could have increased the fee to 16 cents per benefit unit.
"We think that we can, in fact, adequately fund the changes that we can reasonably make with the seven-cent rate," board president Frank Asaro said.
The extra assessment will bring in about $300,000, enough to start hiring reserves to man engines, board members said.
A third fire station to be built in Hidden Meadows probably won't be open until fall of 2005 and there is already money for the station, board members said. A bid package may be ready later this month.
Asaro said the assessment, which can be changed annually to meet district needs, will have to be increased next year to operate that station and for other costs.
Board members and Fire Chief Rich Bolton discussed hiring professional firefighters or reserves, and how to employ them. The ballot measure was based on hiring reserves, and there are not enough of them in this area, Bolton said.
"Our next step is we're going to try to recruit some reserve firefighters," the fire chief said after the meeting. "We're virtually starting from scratch."
In addition to setting the higher assessment rate, the board also certified last week's assessment election results with Catherine A. Shepherd of Berryman & Henigar, the district consultants who counted the ballots.
The assessment was approved by 54.4 percent of the property owners in the 47-square-mile district north of Escondido. More than 25,000 ballots were mailed out. About 20,000 of those were for time share parcels.
"I understand that of the total (property) parcels, the turnout was relatively low," Asaro said to Shepherd.
She agreed, saying that 12,000 of the time share owners didn't vote. Another 1,152 signed ballots were returned, but the property owners didn't check the vote boxes.
Ballots were weighted according to a formula that included square footage and type of building.
Shepherd said the final count was 7,302 representing a property value of $337,744 in favor of the assessment increase and 2,381 votes with a property value of $283,485 against it.

The paint store said it would work well over melamine finishes as long as the primer coat is laid down first.
I am finding the surface easily scratches and am considering a clear top coat to help protect the shelves from scratches.
Anyone have experience/suggestions with painting melamine surfaces or using clear top coats to protect the paint finish?
You need to scuff the surface (either 100 or 120 grit sandpaper will work) so the primer will adhere. From your post it sounds like the primer isn't sticking.
If you're using an enamel paint just make sure it's compatible.
Hope this helps.
All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.
The primer said it has high adherence to glossy surfaces and didn't talk about scuffing, the people at the paint store (which is a professional paint store) also didn't talk about scuffing surfaces even when we said it was for shelving over top of a Melamine surface.
Oh, well. Guess I'll dig out my sander.
Personally, I'd take the advice of someone who works extensively with the material you have, KWIM?
One last tip: make sure the edges are sanded smooth. Melamine cuts are worse than paper cuts. My H has gotten cut up pretty good working with it.
I will definitely watch for the Melamine cuts.
Do a search for painting melamine cabinets and such and view numerous videos to get an idea of how and what to do.
Good info.
I ran a couple tests on sample pieces and found that sanding the Melamine base surface is the way to go.
Unfortunately, that means stripping off all my painted surfaces and starting over, but at least the end product is something that will be much more durable and I would feel better knowing it was done right.

Good Points
BIOS is easy to play around with, in fact too easy that some pros find it dang.
Bad Points
1. 3D games keep crashing back to desktop. (ASUS provided a BIOS update for this).
2. Would not actually install windows smoothly.
3. Too picky on RAM
4. Graphics would sometimes get crazy. (ASUS provided a BIOS update for this)
5. Many times the mouse is not detected after Windows boots up.
6. After less that 6 months the primary slot works crazy if it works at all; sometimes it detects only the HD and sometimes only the CD drive. at times none.
General Comments
I returned my Asus A7V8X-X to the store, which I expect to have already returned the unit to ASUS for repair or replacement. The mobo is a big disappointment.
To see the point, a google search of the following will help (without the quotes): "a7v8x-x problem", "a7v8x-x crash back desktop"

Britain is losing its wildlife daily. More and more species of birds and mammals are becoming endangered or extinct.
Many birds are no longer seen or heard. A prime example is the cuckoo. Hedgehogs and bees are also becoming endangered. Bees are incredibly important for cross pollination of flowers. Without them, many flowers will no longer exist either.
The reason we are losing our wildlife and its habitats is that endless houses are being built. The councils need to stop lining their pockets and think of the environment.

Sand Cove Wash and the Wave
Few visitors venture beyond the super-popular Wave into the wilderness of Coyote Buttes. We planned to scramble up Top Rock and to see its arches, and to check its back side, before taking off to White Pocket.
We started before 8 am on a chilly November morning. The Sun was still low but there were two new lines in the trail register already (one of them from the ranger out to check the $%$#%# permits!). As we hiked into Sand Cove, we couldn't help noticing that the rays of Sun didn't even touch the domes above the Wave, let alone shine into it. So we went looking for the dino tracks on the West side of the Cove, then dropped into the wash some ways upstream of the BLM-recommended crossing, and enjoyed exploring the little slot there.
As we left the slot canyon and headed uphill, the West entrance to the Wave opened right ahead of us. The famous place turned out to be real tiny, probably not bigger than some suburban backyards. There were no photographers around, but soon we spotted a teenage gal in the folds of slickrock to the SE, and stopped for a chat. In a few minutes it turned out that she was the feared law enforcement person, definitely a wrong youngster to growl at. But we were off the hook, whew! BTW the ranger told us that quite a few internet permit-lottery winners are no-shows, and none of them ever turn in their permits.
After some dog-surfing in the slanted rays of morning Sun, it was time to take off.
Top Rock
We stopped at the so-called 2nd Wave, just under the West face of Top Rock to the South of the one and only wave, then scrambled up slickrock kind of in between the two waves. It was very interesting to see the little patch of cracked domes below, and the Wave snaking between them.
Top Rock Arch was now just below us to the North, and a wide saddle opened to the East, towards the two large groups of giant tepee-like formations. Melody Arch was out of sight to the South; behind its ridge lay a neat pink sand dune in an overhanging alcove of rock. We rounded the corner of the ridge on the East side and there was the arch, really just a window in the face of the cliff far above.
The back side of Top Rock was less steep than the Wave side, but also with some picture-perfect rock formations. Staying near the boundary of the red rock and the sand, we soon rounded the South end of Top Rock, and took the BLM "trail" back to Wire Pass. Time to see if we can make it to White Pocket now ... and hopefully back.

I usually buy from Crocus when I want some very specific quality plants and am prepared to spend a bit more than usual. I have bought lovely garden pots from them in the past as well, and received excellent Customer Service with notification of delivery dates. Not this year though. What has happened to Crocus?
I had to chase up on the order to get it delivered, and Customer Services were in fact very helpful and refunded on two plants without question, although I sent photos of the pathetic and unsightly condition of them. I couldn't believe they could send out what were quite mature plants with torn, broken or chewed leaves and thick main stems just cut off mid-flow, so to speak. I could only imagine that these two plants had been in shows, had had blooms and had just had the thickened stems cut when the blooms were over to sell on but at full price, so they looked ugly and were past their best. They are not good enough to plant in my flower border yet. How anyone could have packed these plants to send out and sell as plants in "tip top condition", I find beyond belief. Maybe Crocus is resting on the laurels of its name a bit too much. Up until now, I have always recommended them to friends, but since this order I have changed my mind. I have bought IMMACULATE plants from individuals off EBAY and plant specific nurseries this year which have arrived through the post in beautiful condition. So now, maybe I will recommend shopping around off EBAY or directly from plant specific Nurseries who sell online.

One of the most beautiful teas I've seen in terms of dry leaf appearance (wet leaf and liquor color are pretty too, but not as breathtaking). Looks like small, fat buds of spun gold.
Maybe the gorgeous appearance, meticulous grading, and my general faith in the retailer's selections had a good amount to do with this, but boy this was disappointing.
Lacking in character.
Flavors that were present had a wet cardboard taste threaded through them.
Tastes and aromas are muddled together and difficult to differentiate.
Kinda flat.
Best cup I've been able to produce so far (4g, 120ml, 2min, 95C) leans heavily on the dry-cured bamboo flavor and has sort of a dried papaya note hiding in the nose behind the smell of an old leaf pile. Nice body, but it just kinda sits there. In a cupping lineup I found myself avoiding this tea, half-emptying the bowls of the other samples and barely putting a dent in this one.
Gonna try screwing with concentration on this one tomorrow. Maybe if I overdose or go much lighter it will turn out better. Mid range of 2g-4g per 115ml-150ml from 85 degrees to boiling isn't doing it for me, though.

Social Question
What do you think about infidelity?
I honestly think it's a bad thing to do, but most of the time, people have their reasons, and it can either help or hurt a relationship depending upon the situation and the temperaments of the two partners involved. If you're feeling unhappy in a relationship for any reason whatsoever, I personally believe that it's best to talk to your partner about your feelings and go on a break before you decide to become intimate with anyone else, but sometimes relationships aren't open enough for that kind of communication, which is why many people end up cheating on their partners.
However, I don't think people are "bad people" if they cheat on their partner. It happens more often than you think, and it doesn't make them a bad or immoral person. It just makes them human with flaws, just like everyone else. But it can either break a relationship down, letting both partners know that perhaps a different route is best for the both of them, or it can actually help a relationship, by letting the cheating partner realize that they simply don't feel the same way for others as they do for their current partner. It sends them back into being faithful, in a way, by making them realize how good they have it and not to take advantage of their partner's kindness or caring nature.
One of my boy friend actually told me last night that he once cheated on his girlfriend and his girlfriend once cheated on him, but both times it made them realize how much they truly do love each other because they had a weak moment and collapsed, and wound up crawling back to one another. And I think it was so human of him to admit something so raw as that because it's so true, and most people in society and in the media automatically label infidelity as something extremely wrong and sinful when really it's just a life experience.
What are your impressions on it?

Many senators stuck in a social media echo chamber
Staff Report
University researchers took a deep dive into the world of social media to reach some interesting conclusions about climate change and political beliefs. After analyzing the Twitter streams of U.S. senators, the scientists said Democrats were three times more likely than Republicans to follow research-oriented science organizations, including those covering global warming.
The paper, published in the journal Climate Change Responses, reinforces that fact that climate science has inexplicably become a partisan issue, but with a ray of hope. On the GOP side of the aisle, 15 senators displayed a draw to science and thus a way to bring scientific information to those not receiving it on their own.
"Increasingly, people are using Facebook and Twitter as a means of getting news, which determines what information they are exposed to," said Brian Helmuth, a marine biologist and an ecologist at Northeastern University's School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs.
