Ask the Addict: No Lipstick
Kylee C. writes:
I'm a 23 year old female and for probably about, I don't know, 8 years or so now I have been using lip balm continuously. I apply it at least 20 times a day for sure. I switch brands just about every time I go buy another so there isn't really a certain brand I use. But if my lips aren't very recently coated with balm, they are very dry and cracked and flaky. I can't wear lipstick, ever. It looks terrible because of how dry my lips are. And I drink plenty of water. I can't seem to find anything that truly hydrates my lips.
And for the first time probably in about 8 years, I went roughly 24-30 hours without using any lip balm (not by choice, I forgot it at home) and I woke up in the morning with them raw, blood red, and as dry as can be. I will attach a photo to show what they looked like and they were much darker in person. Of course as soon as I got home I drenched them in lip balm and have been continuously applying it all day. I just feel like I'm stuck in this cycle and can't get out.
It saddens me to hear this and to see the photograph of your lips. You're in desperate need of medical attention! Get thee to a hospital immediately so that you can get treatment on your lips and possibly receive IV fluids your body clearly seems to be lacking.
The Forty-Year Addiction and Blistex DCT
Hi Kevin,
I love your website.. Just brilliant. I always thought I was alone with this addiction.
I started using when I was 13 years old. I am now 53! Forty years of slathering grease on my lips. I started with simple Blistex chapstick and gradually moved on to the heroin of chapsticks: Blistex DCT (not a stick, it's a little pot of chemicals). I have chapstick everywhere…. Several in my purse, my nightstand, my desk…. I have to use it every couple of hours during the day and once or twice in the middle of the night. A few times I left home without it, panicked, turned around and drove back to retrieve my stash. I worry about running out so I stock up. Most retail stores have stopped selling this DCT brand (my chapstick of choice) so I have to order it on line from amazon. I have about 20 tubs at the moment.
My husband teases me about my chapstick use and doesn't believe it's an addiction. My family look at me strangely when I whip out my goop at the dinner table. My friends think it's just nerves… But I know the truth: I am terrified of withdrawal. Why? I went through withdrawal twice years ago and it was a nightmare. I sensed my chapstick use was excessive so I thought it was time to break the habit. I tried to stop cold turkey. To my horror, each day my lips got drier and drier and cracked and bled and shriveled. They looked and felt awful.This went on for 2 weeks and did not get better. So I finally gave in. I stuck my finger into the blistex pot, scooped some lifesaving goop and slathered it on my painful lips. Instant relief! All symptoms disappeared. I felt normal again.
Since my terrible withdrawal experience, I tried to switch brands. Something more natural from the health food store. They don't work! Only DCT does the job.
I just wanted to share my story to emphasize that this addiction is real and can last a lifetime. Although I am fearful about trying to stop again I may try your 12 step program. Thanks for creating the website.. I had a good laugh and then here I am fessin' up!

I'm glad you found something on our site humorous, though I'm not sure what that would be. But, your story certainly illustrates the long-term dangers of using lip balms.
Blistex DCT is yet-another product in a long line of addictive products. Billing itself as "Daily Conditioning Treatment for Lips", the product oozes addictive propaganda from it's website. Some balms try to hide their addictive properties by saying they should be used when lips are chapped, but not DCT. The website text reads in part "DCT keeps your lips in perfect condition every day of the year, in all climates, through all activities."
In other words, once you start you're hooked! For the rest of your life! Think we're joking? Have you forgotten Debbie's story and her 40 year addiction?
Debbie's story about only feeling "normal" while taking lip balm is not uncommon, especially after such a long time of usage. Given that weaning and cold turkey don't seem to be effective, I've referred Debbie to a local LBA chapter where she can get the help she so desperately needs.
Testimony from Grandmother
We received this as a comment on one of the other blog posts but thought it was so nicely written it deserved more attention. Thanks to Mary P. for the testimony.
I am a 53 year old mom and grandmother that finally quit cold turkey from using Blistex Medicated Berry lip balm. I had used it for many years. I had two in my purse (in case one got lost), one in my night stand, one in the bathroom drawer, one always in my pocket, one on a tray in the kitchen and even two in the living room. They were everywhere like rabbits.
My lowest point was having to stop at Walgreen's because I was on my way to a wedding and discovered I did not have any in my purse. We had to make a quick detour to buy some. I bought 10 of them, and had to carry them in my purse all day, so they wouldn't melt from the summer heat in the car.
I was aware that I was always whipping out my Blistex Medicated Berry balm after every meal, and anytime my lips felt dry. A year ago, my younger sister encouraged me to just quit, but I was not ready yet. Finally, after Christmas I was fed up with needing lip balm about four times an hour. At that point, it was not relieving the dryness any more, no matter how much or how often I applied it.
On my own, I decided "Enough is enough!" I went cold turkey and stopped using the lip balm completely. I told my husband what I was doing for his support. After about two days, my upper lip was so dry, it was getting a crack. I resisted putting on more of that lip balm, knowing I would be right back in its' grip. I did use a drop of unscented hand cream on the lips just once before I went to bed, to help heal the lip crack while I slept. After that, I was fine. If my lips felt terribly dry, I did not lick them, but touched a bit of water to them. This may sound gross, but another thing that really helped….a few times I used the grease off my own nose to soothe the dry lips. I figured it is my own natural chemical, and would help. It did. Now, I am free of Blistex Medicated Berry lip balm for about 3 weeks now! I am so proud that I licked this problem! I don't use any product on my lips anymore, and am doing just fine!
I am here to say that…folks…don't listen to detractors that laugh-off your addiction to lip balm. It is an insidious addiction that is very hard to comprehend or appreciate unless you are a lip balm addict. I also want to add that I was addicted to Carmex (little white jar with the yellow lid) when I was in my early 20's. I got off that when my first child was born because I wanted to kiss my newborn. Years later during a conversation, I learned that my mother-in-law's sister (who was a nurse on the other side of the country) told me that she too once upon a time was addicted to Carmex. I thought I was alone with that problem. Somewhere on the web, I read that Carmex is called "Crack for the Lips." It was made to dry up cold sores and has drying agents in it. Carmex was as hard to stop as Blistex Medicated Berry Balm.
If you are a lip balm addict, you can quit if you are ready to do so. I went years and years before I just got fed up with the routine. It will happen suddenly, and if you are reading this, you are searching for help. I think there is a market driven industry that loves if you continually use their product. I was shocked to read about the little girl that applied crayon to her lips at school when she realized she left her lip balm at home. Remember this mantra…if you don't start, you don't have to stop. If you are addicted, you are stronger than you know! Sign me…lip balm free! So long Blistex! All product into the trash where it belongs.
Modern Chic Magazine's Three-Part Expose
A fairly even-handed view of lip balm addiction has just been published by Modern Chic Magazine. Author Gabrielle Blue sums it up this way:
No company wants to be the first to admit their product is in any way harmful or addictive, and for all we know the lip balm industry is innocent. But as lip balm addicts continue to grow in numbers, develop support groups on Facebook and unite to kick the habit on sites such as Lip Balm Anonymous, it's getting harder to believe there's no truth to their claims.
Blue also got some plum quotes, including one from Carma Labs, makers of Carmex. "We are addictive,†says Mike Pietsch, vice-president of sales at Carma Labs. "We're addictively good.† Talk about playing up the addictive legend for fun and profit!  Meanwhile, Paula Begoun , author of "The Original Beauty Bible†says of "medicated" balms such as Carmex, "'Medicated,' however, is at best a dubious term."

Rio Paralympics 2016: Dame Sarah Storey refuses to be put on a pedestal – despite being on verge of Team GB history
Cyclist is expected to win gold on day one in Rio Velodrome and become Britain's most decorated female Paralympian
DAME SARAH STOREY refuses to be placed on a pedestal — despite being on the verge of British sporting history.
The Paralympic cyclist, 38, is expected to win gold tonight in the Rio Velodrome for her favourite event, the C5 individual pursuit.
She is currently tied on 11 Paralympic golds with retired wheelchair racer Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.
One more title in Rio and she will officially become Britain's most decorated female Paralympian.
But Storey has laughed off claims she deserves to be called the greatest.
She said: "Tanni is an icon of the sport as far as I'm concerned. She is a mentor of mine, even to this day.
"Tanni won four golds in Barcelona 1992 when I was there as a swimmer. Chris Holmes won six at those Games. I looked up to them.
"They'll always be on my pedestal. It doesn't matter what you say, they'll always be way up there and I'll be down here.
"If you had told me in 1992 that I'd be on the verge of breaking Tanni's record, I'd have probably laughed."
In terms of Britain's top Paralympians, swimmer Mike Kenny, 71, leads the way with 16 gold medals between 1976 and 1988.
Even if Storey wins all her four events in Brazil — she rides twice in the Velodrome and twice on the road — she will fall short of matching her former coach Kenny.

But Storey said: "People who assume things are a little bit silly, because it's sport and I'm there to be shot at.
"I've been shot at unsuccessfully by a lot of athletes over the last three Paralympics, since I first started cycling in Beijing.
"The other athletes all want to beat me, which is a massive compliment to me.
"If I can defend my individual pursuit title for a third Games in a row then I'd be absolutely thrilled.
"People bring their A game here. You can never discount them."
For Storey, Rio is a record seventh Paralympic Games.
The mum of one started 24 years ago, winning five of her 11 golds as a swimmer before an ear infection forced her into cycling in 2005.
The Manchester rider is yet to confirm whether Tokyo 2020 is in her sights.
But she said: "American Olympic cyclist Kristin Armstrong is 43 now and I'll still be 42 in Tokyo.
"Lots of women are going on into their forties.
"When you retire as an athlete you don't retire to a pension or anything, you have to go and do something else and I'm not really sure what that is.
"I'm still fit and I'm still getting better."

No hurdle insurmountable for intellectually disabled ASEAN Para Games bowler Mohamed Rausyan
Social interactions and communication may still be a problem, but the 23-year-old regional para-bowling champion is on track to defend his APG title next week.
SINGAPORE: Picking up his bowling ball from the conveyor rack, Para Games bowler Mohamad Rausyan was a picture of full concentration as he measured his movements with a gait similar to an able-bodied kegler.
Approaching his lane with the razor focus of a pilot about to land a Boeing 787, a deft flick of the wrist sees Rausyan's bowling ball thud resoundingly on the waxed floor, before gliding gracefully down the middle.
The 10-pound ball then curves ever so slightly to the right, before crashing into the bowling pins with full force, knocking down every single one for a strike.
Rausyan makes a cursory nod to himself, taking mental note of the nuances of technique which worked well for him. He then repeats the same process for the length of his two-hour training session, honing his skills alongside his fellow Singaporean ASEAN Para Games bowlers.
At first glance it is hard to tell what sets the TPB 4 category bowler apart from an able athlete. The remarkable regularity of him notching strike after strike in training, also betrays the daily struggles he faces as an autistic person with severe language deficiency.
"We suspected that he had autism when he was about two years old," said Rausyan's mother Mdm Sumpina, speaking to Channel NewsAsia a week before he flew to Kuala Lumpur for the 2017 APG. "When he was one, he couldn't say anything, and so when he was two we went to see a specialist and they suspected that he had autism … it wasn't confirmed yet back then."
"It was only when he was about four that they found out he had severe language deficiency," she added. "In fact, his first word was 'Mama' when he was four years old."
Like most young adults, the 23-year-old is slowly finding his way into society. Rausyan's reduced learning capabilities, however, means that he still requires supervision by his parents to carry out daily essential chores like grocery shopping.
"We're always thinking about how to help him cope with society, especially as both me and my wife are getting older. It's something we constantly think about," said Rausyan's father Mr Mohamad Yaacob.
"There is (some) help available for people like him, but we'd still have to find a way to teach him how to survive and how to pay bills, for instance," he added.
"For simple things like buying groceries, it's still an on-going learning process for him. But sometimes we'd ask him to tag along to trips to the supermarket, give him a shopping list and teach him how to pay."
"Things like that ... for now he's under close supervision."
Employed as a baker making puffs at Hanis Bakery for now, Rausyan earns a stable amount and is able to pay for his meals. Even so, his mother Mdm Sumpina is worried about some of the issues he may face in future due to his inability to form sentences. "He still needs help to buy things, and I'm worried that he may not voice out if someone is out to cheat him."
"For instance if he's waiting for his change, and if he doesn't get it back he'll not voice out to ask where his money is, and so on."
Recalling Rausyan's formative years, Mr Yaacob said: "Growing up, he didn't use words like 'Papa' or 'Mama'. He instead made noises like 'uh', 'ooh' and 'ah'," said the 58-year-old. "When we went for therapy, they taught us to start with colours before going to objects."
Illustration was one of the effective ways for him to communicate, according to his mother Mdm Sumpina. "Now, when he needs to describe difficult scenarios, we'd ask him to draw. For instance, if there was a situation in school, which will require a lot of words to explain, there's no way he can do it."
"So we'd ask him to illustrate using drawings."
Describing his brother's condition further, elder sibling Mohamed Iswandy said that Rausyan verbalises singular words instead of forming sentences.
"I'd give you an example. A normal person would ask in a conversation 'Have you eaten your dinner?', and the usual reply would be 'Yes, I have taken my dinner.. I had a plate of chicken rice' and so on."
"For him, you'd have to simplify the question to a very basic 'Eat already?' which involves the words "Eat" and "already" – just two words."
"And he'd say 'yes'."
"Then you'd have to follow up with 'What did you eat?' and he'll then explain 'fish', 'chicken', 'rice' and 'tea'. Very basic and to the point replies," said brother Iswandy, who is 25.
Despite his lack of verbal expressions, the feeling of winning in sport is something that is profoundly joyful for Rausyan, according to his brother. "He definitely feels something when he wins, even though he doesn't express or show."
"Only after we'd prompt him, then he will say that he's very 'happy'."
In the early days, brother Iswandy was Rausyan's regular doubles partner during competitive games of badminton at Braddell Heights Community Centre.
According to Iswandy, his intellectually-disabled younger sibling also showed some ability in para table-tennis, in addition to bowling and badminton.
It was then up to his family to decide on which sport suited Rausyan the most. "Before bowling, there were three sports he majored in. One being table tennis, the other is badminton and finally, bowling," said Iswandy.
"However, he didn't excel much in both compared with bowling. So when there were more opportunities for him to play in METTA School, we decided to push him into being a bowler."
He added: "We had a discussion with the family to make a decision, as out of these three sports, which one was it that he could most excel in?"
"After seeing many different competitions he took part in, we found that hey, he indeed has most talent in bowling."
It is his badminton exploits that first sparked Rausyan's foray into sports, according to brother Iswandy. "We started playing badminton in our ... dining room, which is quite a spacious area. We used to hit fast strokes and the shuttlecock will usually hit my mum's vases, till one broke."
"Even our walls have a few scratches here and there, and that's how we picked up sports," he said.
"One of our best memories was when we represented Braddell Heights CC in Men's doubles badminton. We won silver for the team back in 2014, and it was a proud moment with us taking photos afterwards," added Iswandy.
"As a sibling, to see my brother grow as an individual is heartwarming and makes me proud," said Iswandy. "To compare him with how he was back then compared to how he is now, is amazing. He now receives coaching from the national para coaches."
"When I go to the CC, my friends from badminton will ask me about my brother. And I will proudly that say that he's got some bowling game somewhere or is away at training."
It is also through sports that Rausyan is now able to integrate better with his able counterparts, according to both his father and elder brother. "Sports helps his growth as a person, definitely," said brother Iswandy.
"The reason why he's here now is due to the support of his whole family, who has been nurturing him since young. And sports is one of the tools that drives him to where he is today, developing his motor skills, social skills and so on."
"I do agree to a large extent that sports indeed pushes him on. Before, he was very quiet and didn't have a lot of friends," he added. "After joining, he's likeable by all his peers. My own friends will even ask me where he is, whenever I'm out playing sports as well."
"He's being accepted because of his talent in sports. Even able-bodied peers want him to come down and play, because they enjoy playing with him," said the 25-year-old sibling.
Iswandy believes sports can play a big part in bringing together the able-bodied and those with special needs: "I believe that sports helps everybody because it helps them in terms of bonding and also the physical aspect of life."
"In fact I'd like to encourage parents of special needs kids to expose them to the outside world as it'll definitely help in their progress," said Rausyan's father, Mr Yaacob. "They shouldn't simply be kept at home as they won't really learn that way."
"Let them mix with everybody, let them interact. It'll help them a lot."

Testing bills take center stage at state Legislature
Updated: Noon Tuesday.
Colorado lawmakers' attempts to pare back the volume of state tests taken by Colorado students hit yet another speed bump Monday when a bipartisan bill that drew heavily from a task force's recommendations stalled in the House Education Committee.
After hours of testimony, the House sponsors of House Bill 1323 delayed a vote, saying more work needed to be done.
The struggle to move along any testing reduction legislation is proving arduous as divisions have emerged over how much to cut, possible damage to the state's accountability system and whether the goal is to put Gov. John Hickenlooper on the spot or give him something he wants to sign.
Lawmakers Monday heard from a number of witnesses who weren't happy with the latest attempt at compromise. One prominent issue was making ninth-grade testing optional, which representatives from pro-education reform groups say would leave a gaping hole in measuring student progress.
The task force that made recommendations on how to reduce testing was split on 9th grade tests. Still other witnesses Monday said House Bill 1323 does not go far enough, and urged that tests be cut down to the minimum required by the federal government.
House Bill 1323 would eliminate state-mandated tests for 11th and 12th graders, make 9th grade state testing optional, streamline school readiness tests for kindergarten and reduce literacy testing for younger students.
The proposal is similar to Senate Bill 215, which was meant to be the session's signature test reduction bill but floundered despite the backing of leaders from both parties and Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Another part of the House bill excludes non-English proficient students performance on language arts assessments from being counted toward accountability measures until their third year in Colorado schools.
Yet another testing bill, in the Senate, would also rein in testing, with additional twists. S.B. 257 would allow districts to test-run pilots for alternative testing systems so long as they meet federal requirements, and also postpone for another three years implementation of a law that requires 50 percent of a teacher's evaluation to be based on test scores. That bill has yet to have a committee hearing.
At the opening of Monday's House Education Committee debate, co-sponsor Rep. Jim Wilson said he would "push hard" for something that can get through both chambers and become law. The Salida Republican said his biggest fear is the Senate testing reduction bill will die in the House, the House bill will die in the Senate, and "students will have to endure yet another year of excessive assessments."
Another piece of testing legislation did move along Monday. In the Senate, a bill that would change state law to explicitly allow opting students out of state assessments won preliminary approval on a voice vote. The measure won final approval Tuesday in the Senate by a vote of 28-7 and will next move to the House, where its committee assignment will say a lot about its fate.
The bipartisan legislation would shield teachers, principals, districts and schools from negative consequences if test participation drops below required levels because of parents opting their children out.
The bill was amended to make clear that scores of students who are tested still could be used in educator effectiveness ratings, assigning school performance plans or lowering district accreditation ratings. Sen. Andy Kerr, a Lakewood Democrat, authored the amendment.
Senate minority leader Morgan Carroll, an Aurora Democrat, suggested two other changes — making clear that the bill applies only to state standardized tests, and underscoring that it does not actively encourage or promote opting out. Both amendments were approved.
Co-sponsor Sen. Chris Holbert, a Parker Republican, said the legislation does not create any new right or authority for parents, but clarifies that "no one has the authority to discourage, limit, harass, threaten a parent or student" — or suggest that state tests are mandatory.
Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver, strongly opposed the bill, arguing it could put up to $360 million in federal funding at risk and invalidate the state's system holding schools, districts and teachers accountable.
All students must be tested annually in certain subjects and grades under federal law, and a failure could result in restricted or lost funding or lesser consequences.
"This is not governing," Johnston said. "This is grandstanding."
Comments from Johnston were conspicuously absent from a news release from Senate Democrats trumpeting the bill's advance.
The legislation, if it continues its forward march, could put Hickenlooper in a tough spot. The governor's office has signaled the Democratic governor will not support opt-out legislation that would put federal funding at risk.
Just before Monday's Senate floor vote, a group of business and civic leaders who support Colorado's education reforms delivered an "open letter" to legislators and Hickenlooper opposing the bill. Colorado Succeeds, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and Stand for Children led the effort, which includes more than 400 signatures
The letter (you can read it here) argues that Senate Bill 223 "undermines the core of why we assess students and schools – to get a sense of how all students across the state are performing. The bill removes critical consequences that are at the very heart of our state's accountability system, which provides useful educator evaluations, transparency into school and district performance, and information to identify the students and schools in need of more support."

Like you, I've been watching this long-overdue #MeToo #TimesUp reckoning with a sense of relief, amazement and respect. And like you, I've done some stuff: I marched the day after the election, I signed petitions and donated to politicians who aligned with my values, but when I think about how I can effect change in my daily life -- in my own industry, or even in my own office -- the proverbial record tends to scratch. Then Frances McDormand mentioned the "Inclusion Rider" in her Oscar speech on Sunday.
As a working mom, truth be told, I was already fast asleep when Frances stepped up to the mic that night. It was only through my Insta feed the next morning (thank you @DietMadisonAve) that I saw the clip. But since then, I haven't stopped thinking about it.
The Inclusion Rider is a stipulation that actors and actresses can include or exclude in their contracts; it mandates a certain level of diversity on their TV and film sets. What if the advertising community could do something like this? What if we at our ad agency could do something like this?
This certainly isn't the first time we've asked ourselves this question, especially as an IPG-agency which prioritizes D&I initiatives. We're all well aware of the warranted industry criticisms, and in some cases, dramatic missteps from brands due to their often insular worlds and tone deafness. But, for various reasons, a concerted effort - one that really makes a difference - hasn't gotten off the ground. Until now.
We're pledging to adopt our version of The Rooney Rule, the NFL policy which requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching or senior football operations roles, except at Genuine, we'll do this for all job opportunities. We won't fill any openings without ensuring the candidate pool is diverse and well represented by women and minorities. To do that, we're making big changes to the way we recruit. Our "recruiting toolkit" will now more proactively seek out talent with diverse work and life experiences vs wait for diverse perspectives to find us, and we're gonna track our success.
This is a small step forward, but the first of many from us. Thanks again, Frances, for making us stop and think.

Construction in Malaysia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023
The Malaysian construction industry's output grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.69% during the review period (2014-2018). The industry's output value, measured at constant 2017 US dollar exchange rates, increased from US$25.9 billion in 2014 to US$33.6 billion in 2018. Although output growth slowed in 2018, the general upward trend can be attributed to public and private sector investment in infrastructure, residential and energy construction projects.However, the construction industry is expected to face some challenges, mainly stemming from the new government's policy to reduce the country's debt by cutting investment on major infrastructure projects. In October 2018, the Mahathir government announced plans to cut 15.0% of the total development expenditure annually, in order to reduce the country's debt. Accordingly, in October 2018, after reviewing MP2016-2020 program, the government announced a plan to reduce its program budget from MYR260.0 billion (US$52.6 billion) to MYR220.0 billion (US$55.1 billion).Over the forecast period (2019-2023), the government's efforts to enhance transport and residential infrastructure will support the growth of the industry. The industry's output value in real terms is expected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 5.53%. Consequently, the industry's output value is expected to rise from a value of US$33.6 billion in 2018 to US$43.9 billion in 2023, measured at constant 2017 US dollar exchange rates. In addition, the government's aim to improve local energy resources is expected to support investments in energy infrastructure projects, which will in turn fuel growth in the industry. The industry growth will also be driven by the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP) 2016-2020, under which the government plans to develop the transport infrastructure, manufacturing, mining and agriculture sectors with an aim to achieve the status of a developed economy by 2020.Residential construction was the largest market in the industry during the review period, accounting for 29.1% of its total value in 2018. Market expansion over the forecast period is expected to be supported by affordable housing programs being implemented by the government. Infrastructure construction was the second-largest market in the Malaysian construction industry during the review period, accounting for 24.4% of its total value in 2018. The market is expected to retain its position over the forecast period, accounting for 26.8% of the industry's total value in 2023.GlobalData's Construction in Malaysia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023, report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Malaysian construction industry, including -

Commercial Interior Design
If you require a stand-alone commercial interior design service, we can provide this. We offer this service with, or separate from, our Architecture Service.
Most of the interior shaping and design is carried out as part of the overall architecture service if we are building from scratch. However, we can also be brought in to reinvent interior spaces in existing buildings, including redesigning for commercial use.
Space Planning Our space planning skills involve blocking out interior spatial areas, defining circulation patterns, and developing plans and layouts for furniture and equipment placement. We consider numerous design parameters, including your project goals and priorities, your organisational structure and relationships, space allocation criteria, building codes and access for the disabled, furniture standards, circulation and work flow, design considerations, the constraints of fixed building elements and building system interfaces, security and privacy issues, and flexibility for accommodating future space needs. If you are considering new office premises for your business and maximising valuable floor space, then we can help you.
Interior Architecture In some cases, interior architecture is commissioned as a separate service, for example if a client is redesigning an interior of an existing building. In this case, the service applies to everything – i.e designing the interior from scratch. This includes all hard finishes, from room configurations and size, to services, stairs and ceilings, to arches and built storage, and any specialist uses for commercial buildings. We can also include our Interior Design service – which is more about the final elements of style, colour, and arrangements.
Office Design A great office design can literally improve your business. A successful interior design (or redesign) of your workplace means a more efficient workforce, because we not only think of the look, but also the flow and feel of the overall working environment, from air-quality to furnishings. We can offer an initial sketched choice of solutions for your office, whether you're after an open-plan space or a collection of training rooms, individual offices and meeting areas.
Our service includes everything that's relevant to the smooth running of your business, from heating and lighting, to power and data supply. We can model our design using 3D digital software, and can even use Virtual Reality modelling as an extra service to truly visualise how your space will look.

It should go without saying that most people have opinions about popular media—from comic books to movies, and television to video games, just about everyone has a response to give, falling anywhere between extremely positive and negative. In recent times, the sheer scope and accessibility of the internet has dramatically increased the opportunities we have to connect with others who share overlapping likes and/or dislikes in countless forms of entertainment. The internet's communal, and near-instantaneous, properties allow for a much larger (not to mention faster) degree of transmission than most prior forms of mass communication, with anyone's opinions and criticisms being virtually guaranteed to be seen by an untold number of viewers.
More importantly, the internet allows just about anyone with the proper appeal and charisma to achieve varying levels of recognition—and even fame—for providing reviews and commentary on pop-cultural artifacts. The individuals who can, and do, gain notoriety by asserting their opinions on the internet sometimes take less direct approaches to straightforward "I like it, I hate it" criticisms one might see in print and/or television. So-called "internet critics" will often take the most prominent (or most vocal) opinions within various fan communities, and use them to approach and outline critical discussions of a given topic, while also developing exaggerated "characters" that they can adopt to emphasize their reviews with elements of satirical comedy.
Internet critics have established a significant, and quite popular, presence in online culture, and have some interesting similarities and differences in how they present themselves: what follows is a look into who these critics are, and their methods of reflecting and embodying our opinions.
Who Are the Internet Critics?
To put it simply, "internet critics" are individuals or groups who produce reviews and editorials in the form of internet videos; some focus on specific fields like music or toys, while others will cover more diverse material (but might still have preferences for given topics). For example, internet critic Lewis "Linkara" Lovhaug is predominantly recognized for his "Atop the Fourth Wall" video series that focuses on reviewing (often terrible) comic books. However, Canadian uploader Phelan "Phelous" Porteous has varied interests in film, television, animation, video games, and bootleg toys featured throughout his personal section of Phelous.com (which shares content from the likes of Allison "Obscurus Lupa" Pregler and the Team Panshy collaboration).
Another popular internet critic is James Rolfe, who's best known for creating (and starring in) the long-running "Angry Video Game Nerd" series featured on Cinemassacre Productions, in which he specializes in mocking typically older (and, again, often terrible) video games. But Rolfe is also well-versed in film history—particularly in regards to the horror and sci-fi genres—and has produced an extensive line of videos discussing movies. A similarly long-running video series, "Monster Madness," is annually recorded by Rolfe for the Halloween season, and uploaded daily for 31 days straight through October. Here, Rolfe gives brief, but incredibly detailed, overviews of obscure (and not-so-obscure) horror-themed movie releases.
A final, but extremely significant, example is the online community known as Channel Awesome—Channel Awesome is a collective of many different internet critics, some of which already have established presences and/or are part of separate review groups. Among the various programs featured on Channel Awesome, the site's headlining attraction is "The Nostalgia Critic," hosted by Doug Walker as the titular "Nostalgia Critic." Much like James Rolfe, Walker focuses on older popular media (in Walker's case, usually movies and television shows) to alternatively nitpick and defend certain aspects of a subject that are vocally loved or hated by their audiences, be it issues with the narrative, characters, or the general quality of its production.
Even though these examples' interests might differ more than they overlap in some regards, all of them share a common goal: to establish rhetorical connections with viewers through a mixture of critical analysis, satirical humor, and caricatures to simultaneously entertain and inform them.
What Does an Internet Critic Do?
As summarized in this article from the Purdue Online Writing Lab, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle established three major components of persuasive discourse:
Logos is frequently translated as some variation of "logic or reasoning," but it originally referred to the actual content of a speech and how it was organized. Today, many people may discuss the logos qualities of a text to refer to how strong the logic or reasoning of the text is. But logos more closely refers to the structure and content of the text itself.
Ethos is frequently translated as some variation of "credibility or trustworthiness," but it originally referred to the elements of a speech that reflected on the particular character of the speaker or the speech's author. Today, many people may discuss ethos qualities of a text to refer to how well authors portray themselves. But ethos more closely refers to an author's perspective more generally.
Pathos is frequently translated as some variation of "emotional appeal," but it originally referred to the elements of a speech that appealed to any of an audience's sensibilities. Today, many people may discuss the pathos qualities of a text to refer to how well an author appeals to an audience's emotions. Pathos as "emotion" is often contrasted with logos as "reason." But this is a limited understanding of both pathos and logos; pathos more closely refers to an audience's perspective more generally.
These three components form the guiding principles of our spoken and written rhetoric, which are respectively used by a speaker and/or writer to make appeals to their audiences through displays of logic, ethics, and emotions. Ideally, internet critics establish logos by making arguments based on knowledge and experience, ethos by making arguments based on values and beliefs, and pathos by making arguments based on storytelling and passion—in turn, these arguments are heavily shaped by many critics' uses of a "persona" to present their viewpoints.
In an academic analysis written by Daniel Scarpati, the author describes Doug Walker's "Nostalgia Critic" character as embodying a disillusioned person looking back at media that wasn't scrutinized as heavily as it was in the past—as Scarpati states:
…the NC was looking at the content from the perspective of someone from the future, someone who had already lived at least 10 years past the content. Determining if it held up a decade after it was produced was a true testament to its quality, plus it helped to determine what worked and what didn't work. It's been said that a person can't judge a presidency until at least two terms pass, and the NC proves that in some cases the same logic applies to media.
Likewise, Scarpati points out that the Critic's frequent use of hyperbole, non sequiturs, and "comical verbal and physical aggressiveness" reinforces a persona that both encapsulates and satirizes the frustrations of the stereotypical "angry fanboy." In this sense, the Nostalgia Critic induces pathos in viewers by embellishing the collective anger and disappointment people have in popular culture while giving those feelings a central voice—yet, the Critic also hosts editorials that make clearer logical and ethical analyses:
Brad Jones, who produces reviews as "The Cinema Snob" for the titular website, also utilizes a caustic persona, albeit a notably less hysterical (but definitely snarkier) one compared to Walker's Nostalgia Critic character. As stated in this interview conducted by George Pacheco, Jones explains that the Snob persona was largely inspired as a satire of overbearing critics such as the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert:
They would pick it apart or see things which just weren't there, such as the Roger Ebert review of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. It's very soapbox-y, saying that a movie teaches you nothing, that you're just gonna grow up and get killed; all this stuff which really isn't there: it's just a slasher movie. But they were picking it apart as if it were a Terrence Malick film, and it's funny! It's humorous, and that's kind of what I wanted to do with The Cinema Snob character.
Whereas the Nostalgia Critic establishes pathos through his mockery/personification of angry fan communities, the Cinema Snob's behavior appeals to audiences who feel that some critics can be infuriatingly didactic (and utterly clueless) about what they're reviewing—take note of his review for Mommie Dearest, especially how he actually breaks character to speak sincerely:
Walker and Jones primarily use their exaggerated personas for comedic effect, both lampooning trivial aspects of praise and criticism on the internet, but often intermix their own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs (as well as observations and research) into their diatribes to add substance.
Compare and Contrast: The Critic and the Snob
To take a more detailed look at the similarities and differences between the Nostalgia Critic and the Cinema Snob, let's compare and contrast their reviews for Exorcist II: The Heretic, starting with the Critic's video from 2011:
For the most part, Walker uses running commentary to point out the story's logical inconsistencies and perceivably failed attempts at horror and surrealism, while also using audio-visual editing and cutaways to openly mock footage of the movie itself. Keeping true with his established "Critic" persona, Walker alternates between responding to the movie with sarcasm, nitpicking, and exaggerated anger and misery. Yet, Walker also alludes to some factual tidbits regarding the movie's production, and even admits that the plot had unrealized potential.
Now, let's watch the Cinema Snob's review of Exorcist II: The Heretic, produced earlier this year:
Like in the Critic's review, the Snob also touches on the circumstances of the film's creation (including the anecdote that the director actually hated the original movie), and makes similar jabs at its confusing narrative elements. Jones also uses the Snob character to make vacuous assumptions and conclusions during the review while maintaining a comedic air of authoritative confidence and self-importance, with his statement at 28:09 regarding Pauline Kael's opinion of Exorcist II as indisputable fact reiterating his satire of pretentious, misinformed film criticism.
In general, Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic emphasizes reviews with overreaction and theatrics, while Brad Jones' Cinema Snob emphasizes reviews with underreaction and sardonicism—both, of course, to delivery their own senses of humor. However, both usually try giving audiences some background information on what they're reviewing, and will even take time to share what they found positive (if not interesting) in otherwise negative productions. Likewise, Walker and Jones' comedic/analytic treatments of their subjects let them put forth their views in ways that are both entertaining and approachable if viewers understand the nature of their personas: in a sense, Walker and Jones gain credibility with audiences by parodying our overuses of opinions.
In turn, countless other internet critics use varyingly similar and different tactics to frame their review methods and/or host caricatures. Everything I've discussed here is the proverbial "tip of the iceberg" in the backdrop of the internet, and there are so many others that could be analyzed.
Internet critics aren't entirely original in their purpose and methodology—the late comedian Andy Kaufman used the character Tony Clifton to satirize vitriolic entertainers, though at the expense of further confusing his audiences. Another, more recent, example is the television show The Colbert Report (2005-2014), in which comedian Stephen Colbert presented himself as a political commentator with an exaggerated conservative mindset. Kaufman and Colbert used these characters as antithetical misdirections of their own personalities, with Kaufman's Tony Clifton being a far more extreme case when compared to Colbert's Report persona (in fact, other people have, and still do, perform as Clifton to maintain the narrative that he's a "real" person).
While the individuals mentioned throughout this article don't have nearly the same mainstream recognition as Kaufman and Colbert do, they're still quite popular and influential within the realm of online entertainment, and regularly appear at various fan conventions. Because of their online presences, internet critics also tend to have closer, and more frequent, input from their viewers, making them feel more accessible and amiable to be interacted with. Internet critics succeed or fail by how well they accumulate viewerships and endorsements, but also by how well they connect to their audiences' interests and opinions of popular culture: as with all media figures, internet critics come and go, with some enjoying longer or shorter exposure than others.
Whatever the case, internet critics will probably continue to keep us laughing (and thinking) into the foreseeable future.

Your ethereal venom is strong enough to repel anyone who attempts to cross through it.
Prerequisite(s): Ghostbane Ichor, Knowledge (religion) 13 ranks, vishkanya.
Benefit(s): You can spend 10 minutes and two uses of your vishkanya venom to coat an area no larger than 10 feet by 10 feet with your blood. This creates a forbiddance effect, using your character level as your caster level (maximum 20). The save DC of this effect is equal to 15 + your Charisma modifier.
Creatures that take damage from the forbiddance effect are also exposed to your vishkanya venom. If you have abilities that alter the effects of your venom, you must choose which effect applies when you create the venomous area.

#190 closed defect (fixed)
No poweroff with acpi 3.06 on ASUS P4C800Deluxe
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Release version 3.08
Shutdown of the system not possible. Worked fine with 3.03.
System does not boot when using /APIC /SMP - additional switch /CD needed. Strange behaviour when using switches /APIC /SMP /CD - somestimes the system reacts really slow and isn't really usable until reboot. I'm using acpi without switches right now.

you can boot to desktop so collect logs: http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=logs
comment:2 Changed 12 years ago by guest
I have this exact board and it works fine with /SMP /APIC ONLY IF hyperthreading is turned OFF. If ON the SNAP driver will do exactly as you report, but Panorama works fine. So you need to decide which is more important: hyperthreading or SNAP.
The shutdown issue is described in the file ACPI-hardware.doc. You need to add GPEDisable 0x1D to the acpi.cfg file.
comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by guest
Okay... I've reserved IRQ 3,5 and 7 in BIOS settings, disabled HT and activated switches /SMP, /APIC and /CD. Also added GPEDisable 0x1D to acpi.cfg file. System works fine and shutdown is also possible. I've never tried panorama because my graphics adapter isn't listed and rc4 does not have the option to install it automatically. I think the ACPI installer should autodetect such configuration problems for eCS2.0 to be usable for many people without experience...
Thanks for the feedback.

When Khloe Kardashian made her Instagram private, everyone thought it had something to do with her ex Tristan Thompson. The pair briefly reunited at their daughter True's 1stbirthday party.
But it turns out, the Revenge Body star didn't mean to make her profile private to "just" her 91 million followers. In response to a fan who asked her about it, she wrote: "I have NO idea how or why my page is private. I don't even know how to do that, lol. Thank you for posting! I'm going to fix it. That's strange..."
The 34-year-old Khloe, who has become known for her cryptic Instagram posts, also shared this on her Story: "Don't kill people with kindness, because not everyone deserves your kindness. Kill people with silence, because not everyone deserves your attention."
Many fans assumed her quote was a reference to Tristan. While the pair interacted a bit at the party, she mostly appeared to ignore him, according to reports.

So this year, I want to start by taking a trip to the past- a very recent past for me, February 2015 to be exact! That's when I found out that there was a little Squally cooking inside of me. ?
The first step is acceptance. Whether this baby was an accident or planned, that baby is a blessing, not a curse, and you've got some serious life decisions to make!! I choose to be pro-choice, although I like to remind my personal friends that they knew what they were doing could possibly have "consequences". Either way, first and foremost, it's YOUR life and YOUR body-sooooo, are you ready for the ride of your life?? ?
It is my assumption that if you're still reading this you fall into one of 3 categories: you decided to take a trip down motherhood lane, you're my friend or family and are just supporting my jibber jabber, or you just think I'm that dang hilarious so you wanna see what I have to say. ? (if you're number 3,you're definitely my fav ❣)
So again I say, CONGRATS! You're going to be a mommy or daddy- now it's time to start making arrangements! As soon as that pee stick says positive, if you don't already have one, you need to be researching somebody's OBGYN and scheduling an appointment to get a confirmation of pregnancy and make sure everything is all fine and dandy in that little oven of yours. Due the modernness of society, you can do a quick google search to find reviews on OBGYNs in your area. Some insurance companies even offer databases on their websites for their constituents that list who is in their network and offers reviews from their patients! (Thank you BCBSIL ?) In the mean time, if you're just too dang excited or terrified, whichever the case maybe, there are many clinic like places that you can go to to take a more legit test. For me here in Knoxville, I found this lovely little place called Hope Resource Center and they ended up being a God-send for me and my little family through their prenatal classes and emotional counseling program! Anyway, there are other places like this in most major cities. Planned parenthood does it too!
Depending on your personality and relationship with baby daddy, at some point you gotta spill the beans.. or not, that's your prerogative and I choose not to get too into that, BUT if you so choose, tell somebody! You don't have to keep it to yourself! It's exciting and scary and crazy and EXCITING: I'm not saying post it on Facebook (which you can if you want, that's fine) but it's less stressful on you to share that information. Speaking of stress, if you're leading a wild and crazy lifestyle, it's time to pump the breaks and lower that stressometer about a million notches. Putting that baby in there is one thing, but keeping it there happy and healthy requires lots of effort. Although I feel like this is heavily implied, I'll just flat out say it, drinking, smoking, miscellaneous drugs, fighting, craziness, all of that nonsense has got to go. Just for a little while.. it amazed me how much more self control I found once I realized that somebody else's life was at stake and I'm sure it'll amaze you too!
