Complications of Acute Otitis Externa
- Complete acute stenosis of the ear canal – you cannot insert a speculum at all
- Cellulitis of the pinna or peri-auricular area
- Ipsilateral cranial nerve palsy
- Ipsilateral severe head pain
Complications of acute otitis externa (AOE) require urgent identification and treatment as they can potentially be life threatening.
The ENT registrar should be informed soon if you suspect a complication of AOE, particularly if the patient has any red flags.
Discuss patients immediately if they have central neurological signs such as meningism and reduction in GCS.
Admit patients where you have clinical suspicion of necrotising otitis externa (NOE), abscess collection or pinna/facial cellulitis.
Patients with complete acute stenosis of the ear canal alone should be seen urgently as outpatients or in the treatment room but rarely need admission; an otowick should be inserted to keep the inflamed canal open.
Complications of AOE are uncommon but can be serious and therefore should be suspected in patients who do not respond to treatment.
Necrotising otitis externa (NOE; previously known as malignant otitis externa)
- Infection spreads through soft tissue resulting in osteomyelitis of the temporal bone and skull base
- Older male patients with diabetes are at high risk ('classical presentation); but all immunocompromised patients are at risk
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common causative organism
- Characterised by non-resolving AOE despite adequate topical treatment; deep severe pain which is out of proportion to general status (patient patients are apyrexial); purulent otorrhoea; and evidence of granulation and necrotic tissue within the auditory canal
- Patients with a short history of non-resolving AOE and no topical treatment are exceedingly unlikely to have NOE
- In more severe cases, there may be evidence of conductive hearing loss and lower cranial neuropathies (CN VII, IX, X, XI and XII) as the disease becomes more erosive and spreads along the skull base. This may become life threatening if this extends as far as the jugular foramen.
- More rarely, NOE may involve the petrous apex leading to CN V and VI nerve palsies (Gradenigo's syndrome).
Abscess formation
- AOE can lead to localised abscess formation; this is usually as a result of Staphylococcus aureus
- This presents with localised fluctuant swelling, which may form in or around the affected ear
- Occlusion of the ear canal may lead to a conductive hearing deficit; If the abscess ruptures, there may be evidence of purulent discharge
Peri-auricular or pinna cellulitis
- This presents with erythema, swelling and warmth of the pinna or around the ear, which may extend to surrounding tissues overlying the parotid gland, mastoid and sternomastoid. Pain is present, particularly on manipulation of the pinna, but is usually moderate in comparison to NOE
- There may be systemic symptoms including fever, generalised illness and regional lymphadenopathy
Chronic stenosis of the ear canal or false fundus
In patients with recurrent AOE, fibrosis within the canal can lead to chronic stenosis or complete obstruction of the ear canal (formation of a false fundus covering the tympanic membrane). This is distinct from acute stenosis due to inflammation, which is reversible.
This depends on the complication. In general, the following would be appropriate in most cases with an acute complication.
- Microbiology swabs of any discharge prior to initiating management
- IV access and FBC, U&E, serum glucose, CRP, ESR
- Blood cultures if pyrexial
- Don't forget the Sepsis Six bundle
- CT Temporal bone (fine slice) if NOE is suspected
Treatment should always be based on topical antibiotics, good analgesia and water precautions
- Antibiotic treatment usually consists of a combination of IV ceftazidine or tazocin with oral ciprofloxacin, however you should seek local microbiology guidance
- Prolonged courses of IV antibiotics (six weeks) are frequently needed
Abscess or cellulitis
- Can often be treated initially with IV or oral antibiotics; antibiotic choice will vary according to local guidance though penicillins are often recommended
Diabetic patients should have meticulous blood glucose monitoring and control, which may necessitate use of sliding scale insulin.
- Progress can be monitored with bi-weekly CRP/ESR
- Progress can also be ascertained with Isotope scans every 4 to 6 weeks
- MRI of ears and skull base if progression/severe disease suspected
- Discussion at skull base MDT is useful
- Baseline audiogram
- Biopsy of granulation tissue will help to exclude possible squamous cell carcinoma (this can wait until working hours if you have not done it before)
- Surgical debridement of granulation tissue and bony sequestra may be required
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often reserved for refractory or recurrent cases or for patients with extensive skull base and intracranial involvement
Abscess or cellulitis
- Incision and drainage will be required (aspiration if small) - discuss with the ENT registrar
Ear canal stenosis
- If acute and due to inflammation, the use of an otowick may be required to help delivery of topical therapy
- Where recurrent infection causes permanent fibrotic stenosis and even more infections, surgery can be performed to improve patency (but see below)
- Sometimes, recurrent infection leads to formation of a false fundus and patients tend to find that they suffer little or no further AOE; they may choose to live with the hearing deficit
PROGNOSIS of noe
NOE is potentially curable if recognised and treated early and aggressively: mortality rate can still be up to 15% in these cases. If, however, diagnosis and treatment is delayed, mortality can be up to 75%. Facial nerve palsy is a poor prognostic factor and its presence indicates a need for a longer course of antibiotics. Facial nerve function may never fully recover.

I want to start off by saying: Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! Sorry its taken me so long to update my blog but this was the first Christmas I was a manager at the studio and it was really busy. I was there so much that when I got home the last thing I wanted to do was blog, farm, super poke pet, fish or zoo! All my poor (facebook/myspace) apps have suffered...*shakes head*. The second thing I would like to say is that if you are family or friend that I personally know and you did not get a holiday card it was simply because I do not have you correct address. So if you have a facebook or myspace page or you have my e-mail address and you didn't get a card please send me your address so I can be up to date. Thanx!
As soon as I get my camera figured out I'll be posting more pics and now that I have a little bit more time I'll try not to go so long between posts. And on that note........Later!

Bigger, Faster, Farther
After years of research, planning and discussion, the future of a nearly $70 million aircraft ultimately came down to a matter of inches.
The year was 2003, and Gulfstream was working to create the next-generation business jet—something to surpass the G550—already the leader in large-cabin, ultra-long-range business aircraft. Based on focus groups conducted with customers, including input from the Advanced Technology Customer Advisory Team, the design direction of the new aircraft was clear and concise.
"Bigger, faster, farther," remembers Pres Henne, Gulfstream's senior vice president of Programs, Engineering and Test. "That's what our customers wanted and that's what we were challenged to deliver."
A larger aircraft, based on the cross section and length of the fuselage, was the starting point. The faster and farther attributes would need to be engineered to accommodate the larger cabin size. So the question was, just how big?
"All our planes, from the Gulfstream I to the GV, had the same size fuselage diameter—94 inches," Henne says. "The width of our aircraft had been a point of discussion for many years. The decision on how wide to go was based on the voice of our customers and the performance expectations of the aircraft—being able to go faster and farther than any other business jet required managing the sweet spot between cabin size and cruise speed.
"We finally agreed on 108 inches."
Customer demand for a faster aircraft that can go farther was in part the result of a changing business climate, one where markets span the globe and speed is often of the essence, making the adage "time is money" a reality. Eventually, the decision was reached to set the maximum operating speed of the G650 at Mach 0.925.
Range also was an important factor. Because the goal was to increase the distance the G550 could travel, the choice was made early to make the G650's distance 7,000 nautical miles, which is 250 nautical miles farther than the range of the G550, and accomplished at a higher speed.
"Clean Sheet" Design
When the engineers first began the G650 design, they thought they might be able to utilize aspects from Gulfstream's previous models, but it soon became apparent that a whole new design was required.
"Typically the way a new airplane evolves, especially the GIV and GV, is to start with the same fuselage, same cross section, and the same nose and tail," says Henne. "It's less costly when you start with one design and then modify it to fit what you are trying to accomplish. But the G650 was so radically different that we decided to start with a 'clean sheet' design. In other words, start from scratch."
But not every aspect of the aircraft's design changed.
"We saved the same windshield," Henne says with a laugh.
Customer demand for a faster aircraft that can go farther was in part the result of a changing business climate, one where markets span the globe and speed is often of the essence.
Developing and Marketing a Concept
Throughout the early years of the G650's creation, many other Gulfstream teams and organizations were working in tandem with the engineering group—including sales and marketing. Their role started with research in the planning phase. Customer demand, along with competitive challenges, shaped the design of Gulfstream's new flagship aircraft.
"We solicited input from a number of different sources regarding the design of the G650," according to Larry R. Flynn, president of Gulfstream. "We listened to our customers through our Customer Advisory Board and to other customers through interactions and special briefings with our leadership team members. So there was a good deal of valuable input. Our marketing group also provided insight based on competitive analysis. That was important because we wanted to create the best business aircraft in the world."
Gulfstream already had the best in class with the G550, so the teams knew they had to outdo themselves. It was a combination of factors that eventually led the company to develop the G650, the most advanced aircraft in the market, and by extension, to take advantage of an opportunity to create a new market segment.
But the company had no idea how successful its new aircraft would be until the G650 made its world debut. It would turn out to be a change-making moment in the company's history.
Introduction of the G650
On March 13, 2008, Gulfstream announced to the world the introduction of an all-new business jet—the G650. This new aircraft offered the longest range, fastest speed, largest cabin and the most advanced cockpit in the Gulfstream fleet.
"This is an exciting time in Gulfstream's history," said Joe Lombardo, executive vice president, Aerospace Group, General Dynamics, during the ceremony. "For 50 years, our company has been on the forefront of business-jet aviation. I can think of no better way to celebrate our golden anniversary than to introduce the Gulfstream G650. Created with significant input from customers, the G650 offers the most advanced flight deck and the widest array of cabin comforts. Its performance and aesthetics are unprecedented."
The list of the new flagship's superior qualities seemed endless. An enhanced cabin environment where extra space allows for a longer living area, more seat recline, expanded legroom and increased stateroom capabilities. The most technologically advanced PlaneView® cockpit, along with state-of-the-art vision systems to improve both pilot situational awareness and flight safety. Increased performance powered by the new Rolls-Royce BR725 engine. A full three-axis, fly-by-wire system that delivers a number of benefits, including flight-envelope protection, increased redundancy and reduced maintenance. Overall system reliability improvements to provide unmatched availability and dispatch reliability.
The response to this incredible new flying machine was immediate, with 200 sales booked. With that many aircraft ordered, the emphasis quickly shifted to manufacturing. The G650 wasn't like any of the company's other models—it had a clean sheet design and complementary sales and ordering processes. The manufacturing aspect—including the construction of a new building—would end up being a clean sheet process as well.
Manufacturing a Flagship
"The development of a new product includes decisions on fabrication, assembly and testing processes," says Dennis Stuligross, Gulfstream's senior vice president of Operations. "With the G650 we had a unique opportunity to do this from the outset. The G450 and G550 are built off the GIV and GV, and they were designed and built from preceding aircraft. We were continuously looking for ways to improve the existing process."
The G650 was a new design built on 3-D models instead of drawings. Utilizing those models allowed Gulfstream to do something it had never done before.
"Instead of having drawings, we had electronic models that represent all the features of the parts, assemblies and installations in 3-D space," explains Stuligross. "So it has thickness, length, width and weight. Electronically, you can see exactly what everything is and where it goes. Everybody is using the same data to create the product.
"The accuracy is incredible. You are able to build tools and product from the same model, and the assembly operations will occur without interference."
Because the G650 is an addition, not a replacement, to Gulfstream's product line, a new building would need to be constructed. Up to that point, Stuligross admits, his team was still thinking of the design based on their previous experience—having to fit new processes for new aircraft into existing brick and mortar.
When the Operations group was considering buildings and began bidding on contractors, they were still thinking in terms of what the building would look like, and then how to put the process inside it. But this, like everything else connected to the G650, was destined to be very different.
"In collaboration with the building contractors we established what we wanted," Stuligross says. "We needed to first define the manufacturing and material handling processes and then develop the building that would enclose them. It was that simple."
Stuligross remembers that day with delight. "It was a telling moment; it was one of those 'Aha!' moments," he says. "From that point on, we put more detail into how we wanted the process to flow. It was a clean sheet for the tools, the manufacturing and support processes, and the building."
Begun in March 2007, the 313,000-square-foot (95,402-square-meter) G650 manufacturing building was completed in about 12 months, nearly a month ahead of schedule. Soon, it would be time for the big show.
The G650 was a new design built on 3-D models instead of drawings. Utilizing those models allowed Gulfstream to do something it had never done before.
The Rollout
On a crisp and sunny fall morning on Sept. 29, 2009, Gulfstream's new flagship business jet, the G650, rolled out under its own power at the company's world headquarters in Savannah, Ga. Approximately 7,000 people gathered at the new G650 manufacturing building for the aircraft's debut, including state and local dignitaries, customers, members of the G650 development team and Gulfstream employees.
"We've all been looking forward to this day since we officially announced the G650 program last year," said Lombardo. "Simply put, the Gulfstream G650 is in a class by itself. I want to thank everyone who made this aircraft possible. I share the tremendous amount of pride you have for this significant piece of aviation history."
Henne recognized the importance of customers in the development of the G650 and elaborated on the new aircraft's attributes during the ceremony.
"Our customers had an instrumental role in the design of the G650," Henne said. "The G650 will set new levels of performance in aircraft capability, cabin environment and maintainability. Customer input was used to guide fuselage size selection as well as aircraft performance characteristics.
"The G650 offers unprecedented speed and range, superb takeoff performance, an all-new Gulfstream wing, best-in-class Rolls-Royce BR725 engine, and top-of-the-line aesthetics," he said. "It provides the most technologically advanced flight deck in business aviation with the PlaneView II cockpit and an advanced aircraft health and trend monitoring system to support aircraft maintenance planning and improved availability."
Following the rollout ceremony, members of the audience eagerly gathered outside to see Gulfstream's newest flagship. The excitement generated by the introduction of the G650 was reflected in the response of one of the participants as he gently touched the wing of the new aircraft.
"This is the most beautiful aircraft I have ever seen," he said. "It truly is an engineering marvel."

TotalRecall 1.1
A lot of different information about a user's activity is kept within the personal computer. Usually the user does not know about its existence. TotalRecall is a free forensic analysis tool to reconstruct Microsoft Internet Explorer (MS IE) activity and some user's activity on the computer. IE caches URLs which were visited by users. MS IE stores its Internet activity in index.dat files. These files are binary database files, which are used by Microsoft as the file type for storing several different sets of information. Included among these files are user data, Internet cookies, and Internet history storage. These files are found scattered throughout the users' profile folders. Because browser activity files are in binary form, special tools are required to read them. Now, our program investigates: IE activity, IE history, IE cookie, IE favorites and user's activity (recent files and folders, not erased temporary files). After processing, the information from the source is loaded into the appropriate table (all information for the current user may be completed automatically). It is possible to open the file by the program with which it is associated just by double clicking on a selected line of a table. When you select the image from the table its thumbnail is shown at the bottom right corner and it helps you preview the pictures using a built-in viewer. Any table may be sorted by columns in any order. Find-command locates the row of a table containing the regular occurrence of the search string. The table context menu provides quick access to useful commands (Open, Open with…, Open Folder, Copy/Move to…, etc.). The contents of any table may be exported to an .XML or a .TXT file. The program allows collecting data for all tables or for some tables depending upon the criteria set. The program determines the language of your installation of Windows and sets the working language in accordance with corresponding language file (if it exists) then sets it as default.

5 minutes
from a cybertip.ca ad
So I get this message from one of my clients. It says he can't wait to see me again and he's been thinking of LICKING me up and down in HIS BED. So at first, naturally, I assume he has sent it to the wrong person. I'm like, Unprofessional Bro, this is someone else's sext! Then I don't respond, because what good can come out of it when I'm actually supposed to babysit his kid in two days? I mean, it's a trap, right? Even if I said I didn't appreciate it? So much weirdness. So when I don't respond, ten minutes later, I get another message rom him. AND THIS TIME HE USES MY NAME. "What time should I expect you, Alana?" And usually his wife is the one in contact with me, arranging when SHE should expect me. So I'm like, are these texts together? Is this intentional? What the mother eff am I supposed to say?

We are so enjoying everything that Abby is doing, she is now 17 pounds and 28 inches long. She is 9 1/2 months old and is such a little sweetie. She now gives us open kisses and loves to talk and makes tons of noise. She does a move now, that we call popping, if you ever watched, so you think you could dance, you would understand.
It's so nice having my girls, talking to them in adult conversations about hurts and things that are important and having Abby's little noises and new things going on at the same time. My life is so rich, with my husband and all 4 girls. I feel truly blessed beyond measure. Sometimes I hold Abby and look at how beautiful she is, and I just find myself crying. All of our girls are unique and each one is a beautiful gift to us.
The video is of Abby doing a little jig. Tiffany, Abby's sisters mom, now has another baby in her home. She will be her foster care parent and hopefully her mom one day. I can't wait to meet this new little one, who could become a sister, to our girls. She is only a little over a week old and I pray that Tiffany gets the rest that she needs. Also that God would do what he needs to do, for this little girl. I am so proud of Tiffany, walking forward for another child, to love this child like a mother would. I pray for love, joy and hope for this little miracle child. That you would bless her like you have blessed our Abby and Gabby.
I encourage everyone who has a home and love, that they consider this gift. We started on this road thinking of blessing a child and taking her out of a life of pain. But we have been so blessed in doing this, in opening our hearts and souls. We are so ready to become her legal parents, and it looks like it will happen by October. It is truly amazing, to see all our girls coming home from work, driver's ed, friends, or coming to visit from their own home, and see them with Abby. To see them make her laugh and talk to her, to see them working at her saying their names. To see love, love pouring out of each of us, beyond measure. What a miracle and privilege to see.
I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. Psalms 119:60
More to come later!

PHP Free For All
It all started innocently enough.
Tim Bray posted his thoughts and (limited) experiences with the PHP language. The general tone was 'not impressed, but willing to be convinced.'
And then a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon, willing to convince him (or not). There were a pretty impressive number of responses given that 'Ongoing' doesn't have a comment feature (yet)!
My contribution is here.
I have had good experiences with PHP, but can certainly see the potential for horror stories (having spent a year de-obfuscating the most recursive spaghetti ridden legacy code you have ever seen!)
The bottom lines are:
- Yes, it's easy to get started in it. (as in: easy to get a web page running!)
- No, it doesn't guide the user to code intelligently (C-style structured programming being applied to a web page that is effectively reentrant can lead to lotsa pasta!)
- No, it doesn't try to guide the user at all (a good thing: 'do not meddle in the affairs of wizards. They are subtle and quick to lead you down the garden path to the fairies behind the compost bin.')
- Yes, there is room for improvement. Regrettable, but not a fault in itself. Athena might not have been such a headache if she had been prototyped!
- it didn't require a database
- PHP was the only scripting language provide by the ISP
- it's pretty good
Still, those seeking both ease and elegance may find it in Spyce (which does the same thing as PHP, but uses Python)
And, of course, there's Ruby on Rails (which I have not yet investigated)
Finally, to put all this into perspective: a cautionary tale.
Anyone wishing to smell the brimstone of an environment that almost forces you to code badly need only try their hand at coding and maintaining COM objects!
On second thoughts, don't! Life is short enough as it is, and you have better things to do, trust me!

Need a break? Here's how to draft a Leave Application Letter
At some point or the other, we have all felt the need to take some time off from the unending routine of work. When looking for a new job, an important thing to consider–along with the salary, scope for career growth and other benefits–is how much leave you can take.
There are many reasons as to why you may need a break. A holiday, a wedding or an event, medical reasons, etc. are some of the reasons for which you can ask for leave from work.
However, if you're planning to take an extended period of time off from work (more than 2-3 days at once), then, as a responsible employee, you must submit a formal leave application letter asking for your leave to be sanctioned.
Related: Types of leave you can take from work
Depending on the number of days that you are planning to take off from work, you will have to address the letter to a senior—either to your immediate boss or to the head of the organisation—as per the company's protocol.
It is always a good idea to consult with your immediate boss and to mention that you need leave. It is, however, necessary to follow that up with a formal leave application letter. Nowadays, submitting your leave application letter on email is a fairly common and accepted practice at work.
Related: The 12 rules of email etiquette
Before you draft your leave letter, it is advisable to consult the HR manager in your company to know of the various types of leave that you are eligible for: paid leave, unpaid leave, medical leave, casual leave, etc.
Once you know your choices, you can apply for the most suitable type of leave, depending on your purpose.
Sample format
Leave application email
Here is a sample format of how you can write a leave application email. You can use to this format if you are applying for casual leave (for the purpose of a holiday/vacation, event/wedding/celebration, family reasons, personal reasons, etc.). In case you are applying for medical leave, you may need to add a few extra details.
To: <Recipient's email id>
Cc: Send a copy of the email to your immediate boss/senior boss/HR manager, depending on what the situation demands.
Subject: "Leave application for x days for <purpose> " is a suitable option. In case the reason for leave is elaborate/personal, you may choose to omit specifying it in the subject and opt to explain it in the body of the email.
Body of the email: Keep the email brief and clear. Divide the body of the email into 2-3 crisp paragraphs.
Addressee's Name
Name of the Company
Sir/Madam/<Name of person>,
Para 1: Dates of leave
Begin by stating that you wish to apply for leave and specify the dates (along with the number of working days) for which you will require the leave. Mention the date on which you will resume work.
Para 2: Reason for leave
Here you can specify the reason for which you need the leave. In the case of casual leave that is not for a prolonged period of time, a couple of lines are enough to explain the reason for required leave.

Here are some things to keep in mind while applying for leave:

– Inform more than one person in the organisation:
Whether you choose to write a leave application letter or email, make sure that you mark copies to all the relevant people in the organisation i.e. your immediate boss, the HR manager, the head of the organisation, etc. Also remember to keep a copy of the application with yourself.
– In your application, remember to clearly mention 3-4 things:
1. The specific dates and duration for which you require the leave.
2. The reason for taking leave.
3. The number of working days that you will be away and how you plan to have your work taken care of in your absence.
4. The date on which you will resume work.
– Remember that your leave is sanctioned only once you have received a written confirmation of the same (as a response to your letter/email).
– Make sure that you return to work on the specified date and don't exceed your granted leave.
Go ahead and take that well-deserved break!

A Touchy Subject
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the relationship between the artist, gallery/dealer and collector/patron. Not unlike a metaphorical ship sailing toward its destination, the participation of each member of the crew is needed for a successful passage. In this time of financial uncertainty each element needs to support the other. Large discounts help destroy an artists life long attempt to build reputation and future appraisal value. It also helps to drive galleries out of business and devalues private and public collections.

Sonomama - is that Italian? Could he be talking about his mother? Theories and queries about Phillip Lims winged logo whizzed around the audience before the designers show on Monday afternoon.
Turns out, its a new-season mantra.
Its Japanese for As you are. Dont ever change. Dont move an inch, Lim said backstage.
That headstrong pride was evident in his pack of girl bikers, ready to ride where they want, when they want, no room for killjoys.
Lims rebel spirit roared forth in leather sweatshirts with hip zips, in metallic knit motorcycle jackets, and in leather patches on everything. A hairy angora sweater with a kilty yet tough leather skirt confirmed this silhouette as a NYFW trend.
Terrific coatsfrom the pink embossed neoprene overcoat of the opening look, to a deep teal wool parka, to a merlot and navy plaid jacket with a navy shearling collarhad the crowd leaning forward in its seats. (The most emphatic of three pages of notes about this show is COATS!!!) Wheat-stalk prints on silk dresses and vaguely Southwestern jacquard trousers added to the road trip on Route 66 feel.
Im a sucker for gangs, Lim said. I always believe you must stand for something and you must have a point of view. Every collection, theres a tribe or gang element, of belonging.
The patchwork denim racer suit of the finale signalled that belonging loud and literally, with its patchwork of custom 3.1 Phillip Lim badges. If these make it to retail, all the lucky numbers, initials, and wings could be fast bestsellers for DIYers eager to stitch on a bit of 3.1 Phillip Lim. Something tells us that would be just fine with the designertheres room in this gang for everyone.

Drawing inspiration from the work of American painter Mark Rothko and his role in the Colorfield Painting art movement, BWGH explored how the gradation of shades of blue could be effectively applied to sports materials such as suede, mesh and bouclé knit. Throughout the creative process, Obadia and Hassan paid close attention to the adroit balance of tones in the smallest of details as evident in the careful choice of blues for the mottled laces. The collection, which was launched in stores worldwide this month, comes as a pack of accessories that includes a backpack and a limited-edition skate deck.

Notting Hill and the W11 post code area are also known for being the multi-cultural conglomerate in London, there is the highest percentage of minorities living per square kilometer.The area is also known for escorts in W11, those girls being thorough professionals with amazing bodies and personalities full of charm and grace.

Creativity Hiatus
My blog as fallen silent as of late, which is weird because I think of it often. Almost once a day, I think boy, I really need to write. But I couldn't. And I have no idea why. Can creativity just take a break? I've had tremendous writers block, where every topic I wanted to talk about just simply didn't feel right. One of my mentors at my new job left me with the parting wisdom of: If it feels right, then it probably does. If it doesn't feel right, then it isn't. Somehow writing hasn't felt right lately, and it's impossible for me to pinpoint why.
I used to come home everyday with a list of topics that would make great blog posts. At any time, there would be three to five ideas written up, with specific examples, that I would just need to recount for the post. As of late, nothing has felt "written," and I didn't want to force it. Everything used to inspire me and make me want to share it, and now everything feels like something I'd like to internalize and store away.
But hopefully the freeze is starting to thaw. Nothing is worse than feeling like one of your passions is losing its fire. Ever since I was in first grade, I loved to write. It can't die this quickly.
And I think that is the significance that tomorrow's blog post holds for me. A spark reminded me of my passion. Pure, elated, childish passion, which makes you feel like you can change the world. And I am so excited to share it with you all tomorrow.

Paul Allen Paints Gates as Focused, Brilliant, Backstabbing
In an excerpt from an upcoming book released Wednesday, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen paints co-founder Bill Gates as a technical genius, but as a ruthless executive who tried to dilute Allen's financial stake in the early days of Microsoft.
In the excerpt from Idea Man, Allen's upcoming book, Gates is characterized as an intensely focused mathematical genius, with a penchant for social quirks. Allen describes himself as the glue that held Microsoft together.
Idea Man is scheduled to be published this month by Portfolio, a member of the Penguin Group. The excerpt was published by Vanity Fair.
The crux of the story seems to lie in the last anecdote Allen relates: a scene in which Gates and Steve Ballmer, brought in to run the company, apparently scheme to dilute Allen's stake in the company. Allen describes Ballmer as looking like "an operative for the N.K.V.D." Allen, then suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma, recounts the scene:
"One evening in late December 1982, I heard Bill and Steve speaking heatedly in Bill's office and paused outside to listen in," Allen wrote. "It was easy to get the gist of the conversation. They were bemoaning my recent lack of production and discussing how they might dilute my Microsoft equity by issuing options to themselves and other shareholders. It was clear that they'd been thinking about this for some time.
"Unable to stand it any longer, I burst in on them and shouted, "This is unbelievable! It shows your true character, once and for all." I was speaking to both of them, but staring straight at Bill. Caught red-handed, they were struck dumb. Before they could respond, I turned on my heel and left."
Gates did not comment on the excerpt via his Twitter account or his blog.
Allen described Gates as a "brillant," but illustrated his social awkwardness with an account of dinner with Allen, his girlfriend Rita, and him.
"Rita had roasted a chicken one night for dinner and couldn't take her eyes off him," Allen wrote. "'Did you see that?' she said after he'd left. 'He ate his chicken with a spoon. I have never in my life seen anyone eat chicken with a spoon.' When Bill was thinking hard about something, he paid no heed to social convention. Once, he offered Rita fashion advicebasically, to buy all your clothes in the same style and colors and save time by not having to match them. For Bill, that meant any sweater that went with tan slacks."
Allen also claimed that he and Gates originally agreed to a 50-50 split of the company's equity. But then Gates later argued for a 60-40 division, which Allen agreed to. After Microsoft had established itself as the creator and vendor of a version of the BASIC operating system for the Altair 8800, Gates then asked for 64-36.
"Again, I had that moment of surprise," Allen wrote. "But I'm a stubbornly logical person, and I tried to consider Bill's argument objectively. His intellectual horsepower had been critical to BASIC, and he would be central to our success moving forwardthat much was obvious. But how to calculate the value of my Big Ideathe mating of a high-level language with a microprocessoror my persistence in bringing Bill to see it? What were my development tools worth to the "property" of the partnership? Or my stewardship of our product line, or my day-to-day brainstorming with our programmers? I might have haggled and offered Bill two points instead of four, but my heart wasn't in it. So I agreed. At least now we can put this to bed, I thought."
In Feb. 1977, however, the formal partnership agreement that Gates and Allen signed contained a clause that would force Allen out if "irreconcilable differences" divided the two. While the clause was nullified when Microsoft incorporated in 1981, Allen said Gates still tried to force him out for $5 per share.
"As it turned out, Bill's conservatism worked to my advantage, Allen wrote. "If he'd been willing to offer something close to my asking price, I would have sold way too soon."

Suspect in jail on $50,000 bond
SNOW HILL � A Snow Hill resident is in jail on $50,000 bond after being arrested for taking indecent liberties with a child.
Antonio Olbera Valdez, 52, found himself in the Greene County Jail Saturday morning following a months-long investigation by the Greene County Sheriff�s Office.
GCSO Detective Matt Sasser investigated the case, which began in February when a 15-year-old girl told authorities about an incident that happened to her. Sasser said the sheriff�s office was able to corroborate her statements, but wouldn�t elaborate further on the matter.
�These cases are sensitive, and there�s just not a whole lot to it,� Sasser said. �It�s not a break-in, it�s not a murder � it�s more of a personal-type case.�
According to state law, someone suspected of Valdez�s alleged crime must be older than 16 and five years older than the victim.
A possible offender must also he suspected of willfully taking or attempting to take, �any immoral, improper, or indecent liberties with any child of either sex under the age of 16 years for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire;� or willfully committing or attempting to commit, �any lewd or lascivious act upon or with the body or any part or member of the body of any child of either sex under the age of 16 years.�
The crime, a Class F felony, carries with it a possible prison sentence ranging from 10 months to three years and five months, depending on prior convictions.

Lights, Camera, Adaptive Re-Use!
On August 19, 2012, Golden Gate Theater reopened as a CVS Pharmacy, bringing new life to the historic building through adaptive reuse. As the County of Los Angeles' historic preservation consultant, Chattel worked with the developer (Charles Company), the tenant (CVS), and the Los Angeles Conservancy to ensure historic fabric remains in place to the maximum extent feasible, and that alterations are reversible so the building can be returned to theater use in the future.
Built in 1927 at the corner of Whittier and Atlantic Boulevards, the Churrigueresque-style building is one of few remaining examples of a combined neighborhood movie palace-live stage theater in Southern California. It is the only building in unincorporated East Los Angeles listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Significant for its architecture, the theater was designed by the "Balch Brothers", Clifford and William Balch. It was originally wrapped by the two-story Vega Building, demolished in 1992 following damage caused by a 1987 earthquake. The theater closed in the mid-1980s and remained vacant for many years; during which time a damaged roof exposed the interior to the elements and the building was vandalized by intruders. The property was purchased by M & A Gabaee, a California Limited Partnership, in 2003. On February 17, 2010, the Regional Planning Commission of the County of Los Angeles certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed rehabilitation and reuse project, which involved restoration of historic features and tenant improvements to accommodate a new use as a CVS/Pharmacy.
Certain historic features have been carefully stored on site, and others have been restored and are visible from the CVS sales floor, including interior decorative trim and light fixtures. The historic sequence of spaces from the lobby into the auditorium is intact, and a large percentage of the high-volume auditorium ceiling and decorative proscenium arch are also visible.
The project has been controversial amongst some who remember attending showings at the theater and would like to see the building reused for film screenings or live performances. Despite the change in use, great care has been taken to retain the building's significant historic features and protect the theater from deterioration and vandalism. The completed project represents a substantial investment in the East Los Angeles community and reflects the hard work and willingness of all members of the project team to celebrate the architecture of the theater while also accommodating CVS.
Additional photos of this project can be viewed on CurbedLA.

If you have ever escaped the Midwestern spring weather and gone on spring break, you have likely experienced the "Post Traumatic Spring Break Disorder". "PTSBD" is the reality of coming home after spring break and facing the idea that you will not be soaking up the rays in Mexico or skiing the slopes in Colorado forever. This also means that your pre-Spring Break bod workout routine will likely be needed after splurging on tropical foods and drinks. To avoid getting hit hard with the "PTSBD" bug, try these tips.
Since you have been exploring your vacation spot for a week, why not explore different areas locally? Travelling is always a great reminder that there is so much more to the world than our campus or hometown bubble. Go for a long run and explore an area outside of campus that you have heard of and always wished to see, or get lost on a long run and discover places you have never heard of! My favorite off campus running spot is along Lake Monona.
Jump straight into your routine. This is the best way to get your motivation back to your work, student, and club responsibilities. Look at your schedule and plan out your week. Make sure to include workouts and at the end of the week and treat yourself to a movie or a night out! This will help you jump back into your workout routine to prepare for the next bikini season, summer.
Bring your vacation back with you! If you're craving the sweet mango smoothie or delicious guacamole you had on the beach of Mexico, recreate your own at home. Look up some recipes that remind you of your favorite healthy treat on vacation and buy some frozen fruit or avocados at the local grocery store to make yourself feel at "vacation"! Keep in mind that after spring break, you only have a quick couple of months to get ready for the summer. Embrace your last couple months of the school year around your friends

Scandit enables enterprises and consumers to change the way they interact with everyday objects and augment the physical world with real-time data captured by scanning barcodes and recognizing text, objects, and other visual identifiers using smartphones, tablets, wearables, drones, and robots.
"Scandit offers scanning software that helps companies replace bulky scanners by turning ordinary smartphones into enterprise grade scanners. It also provides a set of mobile apps… that helps a company get started if it doesn't have an app"
"Scandit has developed patented scanning technology that is designed to significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to scan a barcode."
"Augmented reality for enterprise" is the sort of phrase that surely hits all of the right neurological pleasure centers for VCs. AR has also always been a key part of the Scandit picture."
"The Scandit Case is part of Scandit's evolving product line, including mobile software and cloud services designed to mobilise mission-critical enterprise workflows across the entire supply chain including Order Entry, Proof of Delivery, Inventory Management and more."
"AR and computer vision are among the hottest technology trends of the moment, it's easy to see why Scandit is attracting so much interest from the VC realm: It's an established company with big-name customers that is investing in the latest technologies to advance its business."
"Platforms like Scandit are viable threat to data capture industry leaders as these enable consumer devices to facilitate enterprise-grade barcode scanning."
"With Scandit's technology, retailers are letting consumers find out more information about a product and shop from any mobile device by scanning a product's barcode, and salespeople are enhancing customer service…"
"One of the past hurdles for new wireless technologies, like self-checkout and Internet of Things integrations, was the cost of the various bar code and other image readers. An Amazon Go "just walk out" kind of experience once seemed unattainable. Now with common mobile devices and sensors, similar tech can be within the reach of many retailers. Scandit is one of the solution providers leading the progress in "frictionless" scan-and-go self-checkout, among other areas. Now Scandit has received a level of funding from the likes of a venture capital investment firm like Alphabet's GV that may allow it to leapfrog competitors and deliver more of what retailers need in-store and behind the scenes."
"Fully-customizable and cross-platform, allowing businesses to transform smartphones and tablets into enterprise-grade scanning devices without the need to purchase separate standalone barcode scanners."

As a series, the Ocean's franchise is no real thing of beauty, but don't let that tarnish the reputation of the first installment, which is, admittedly, pretty damn fresh. Steven Soderbergh's cool eye and a cast of greats, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle, gave this movie more style than a glossy GQ cover.
The plot, you may remember, revolved around Danny Ocean recruiting a squad to help him rob the Bellagio, The Mirage, and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas—at the same damn time, of course. It was pure Hollywood, but also vintage Hollywood—the dialogue was sharp, but flowed from the actors like smooth silver.
And then the franchise turned into a mess no one could salvage. We'll always have Eleven, though.

Being overweight affects dating
02-Jan-2015 17:49
It comes as no surprise that such stress-induced eating leads to weight gain, which in turn leads many people (especially women) to feel still worse about themselves, motivating still more stress-based eating and additional weight gain.
All too often, stress-based comfort eating becomes a vicious cycle and downward spiral.
One doesn't have to be overweight to get into psychological trouble with eating, either.
Eating is pleasurable, and because this is true, all manner of people (fat and thin both) end up using eating as a ready source of emotional comfort when they are feeling stressed out.
Loss Of Energy and Joy For Life If the negative health and shame aspects of being overweight aren't enough, overweight people also tend to have less energy than their normal weight peers.
Because it takes them more effort than their peers to be active, they tend to gravitate towards low-activity lifestyles and become sedentary.
An unfortunate circle develops wherein the less active people become the greater their risk of gaining still more weight, and the more weight people gain, the less likely they are to become more active.
Life stresses seem more overwhelming as exercise (which could begin the process of reversing this downward spiral of decreasing energy levels) is avoided and a major opportunity for the reduction of muscle tension, stress and anxiety is lost.
It may be difficult for an ultrasound scan to get a good view of your baby, as the images may lack detail and look fuzzy. A scan sends high-frequency soundwaves through your uterus (womb).These bounce off your baby and the echoes are turned into an image on a screen.Modern culture is singular in the way that it worships youthful slim, toned bodies.With rare exceptions, only thin, proportional bodies are considered sexy. It's easy to feel bad about one's self, to become depressed or anxious or to to develop obsessions around eating control when one's culture makes it clear that the way one appears is wholly undesirable.
Psychological consequences of being overweight or obese can include lowered self-esteem and anxiety, and more serious disorders such as depression and eating disorders such as binge eating, bulimia and anorexia.
The reasons for why this is so aren't hard to fathom.

When Mistakes in Diagnosis Lead to Serious Injury or Death
Medical malpractice lawsuits tend to focus on errors in diagnosis or errors in treatment. A complete and correct diagnosis will normally serve as the foundation for effective treatment, and oversights in screening, testing or interpretation of radiology or lab results can have fatal consequences for the patient.
If you believe that you or a family member suffered unnecessarily from an error in identifying the nature of a serious health problem, contact the law firm of Kenneth M. Levine & Associates in Brookline. We represent medical malpractice victims all over Massachusetts. Our experience working with outstanding medical experts from a wide range of specialties can help you find out whether negligence in the diagnosis of heart disease, cancer or stroke was responsible for a disability or death in your family.
Call 617-566-2700 for a Free Consultation
There are many different kinds of diagnostic errors, and just about anyone in the chain of treatment can commit one. Our attorneys investigate the responsibility of family doctors, emergency room physicians, oral surgeons, urologists, OB/GYNs, radiologists and pathologists to find out whether a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis could have been avoided if the medical professional had performed up to recognized standards of care.
As well as working closely with the medical experts whose evaluation of your doctor's performance will be essential to the success of your case, our lawyers also work closely with the families we represent. By forming a solid working relationship with our clients, we can develop a deeper and more detailed understanding of the facts of your case. This results in a more effective presentation both in settlement negotiations and at trial.
Here are some examples of the kinds of illnesses and health conditions that can often be misdiagnosed or delayed in the correct diagnosis:
- Cancer of the breast, skin, bowel, cervix, ovaries or prostate
- Risk of stroke
- Risk of heart attack
- Pulmonary embolism
- Appendicitis
- Peritonitis
- Sepsis or serious infection after surgery
To learn more about the ways our experience and client service values can help you achieve justice in a case of delayed or mistaken diagnosis, contact the Boston misdiagnosis claims attorneys at Kenneth M. Levine & Associates for a free consultation.

Visual Vocabulary: Approbation & Louche
Approbation: approval or praise.
Louche: of questionable taste or morality. (Pronounced "loosh")
As in, "The old man's "major award" received the approbation of the Cleveland Street neighbors, even though my mother thought it was positively louche."
I mean, Christmas is almost upon us, so I felt it was ok to keep going with the Christmas theme. And what better way than to pay homage with everyone's favorite sexed-up plastic feat of lighting ingenuity? Fun fact: for the past two years during Christmas time, I would pass a leg lamp proudly displayed in a picture window every night on my way home from work. It made me so happy, and it got bonus points in my book because it was directly across the street from an elementary school. Someone new must have moved in, because now there's just a flat screen TV and a CFL bulb that burns my retinas every time I look. Nothing like the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window from years past. So here's to you, leg lamp. Keep doing those lunges and staying sassy.

Democrats rip into Trump; Trump seeks Putin's help
Good morning. On behalf of The Sacramento Bee's editorial board, welcome to The Take, your opinion-politics newsletter. Please sign up for it here.
As Hillary Clinton appeared on the big screen Tuesday to accept her party's nomination for president, the camera pulled back to reveal a multigenerational crowd. We have our own multigenerational group, Shawn Hubler, Erika D. Smith and Aly Pachter. No matter your political persuasion, you will be moved by their take on the first woman to be her party's presidential nominee. Dave Barry of The Miami Herald, meanwhile, makes flagrantly unfair and possibly offensive generalizations; that's his job.
Taking snapshots
Here are a few phrases that caught my ear from the Wells Fargo arena in Philly:
Tim Kaine: "Donald, what are you hiding?" He really ought to release his tax returns.
Joe Biden: "The 21st century will be the American Century." The Democrats are going right at Donald Trump's dark claims with an optimistic view.
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "The richest thing about Donald Trump is his hypocrisy." Bloomberg was the anti-Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who seemed a little unhinged in Cleveland.
Rear Adm. John Hutson: Trump "personally invited Russia to hack us. That's not law and order. That's criminal intent."
Leon Panetta: "Donald Trump says he gets his foreign policy experience from watching TV and running the Miss Universe Pageant. If only it were funny."
Gov. Jerry Brown: "Trump says global warming is a hoax. I say Trump is a fraud. Trump says there's no drought in California. I say Trump lies."
My guess is that you will be hearing these phrases or ones like them many times between now and Nov. 8. And then there was Barack Obama. He and Michelle Obama will be Clinton's most powerful weapons on the trail.
Our take
Editorial: Honoring the progress in Hillary Clinton's historic nomination.
Dan Morain: Donald Trump's dangerous dalliance with Vladimir Putin.
Aly Pachter: Democrats pass, GOP fails litmus test of inclusiveness.
Joe Mathews, among our regular contributors: Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom take a risk with their ballot measures.
Randy Hanvelt and Julia Levin's Soapbox: The California Public Utilities Commission is too slow dealing with dead trees.
Takes on Hillary Clinton
Shawn Hubler, Erika D. Smith and Aly Pachter: Hillary Clinton, through the eyes of three generations.
San Diego Union-Tribune: What Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders said at the conventions says more about them than about Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. But it says a lot about Trump and Clinton's leadership style and ability to work with others, too.
Miami Herald: Love her or hate her, give Hillary Clinton credit. It was a victory long in coming for a woman – any woman.
Eric Frazier of The Charlotte Observer: It does indeed matter that Hillary Clinton, even with Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky and Benghazi and email probes and all her other baggage, has finally broken that barrier.
Ben Shapiro in The National Review: Hillary Clinton is not in trouble because of the massive competence of Donald Trump. She's in trouble because she is terrible at the game her husband invented: the game of "who cares more about people like you."
Virginia's take on Kaine
Virginian Pilot: Donald Trump better move fast on all of this, because Tim Kaine's reputation among people who know him in Virginia – "decent," "trustworthy," "honest," "intelligent" and "nice" – simply will not get the job done. Especially when it emerges from Democrats and Republicans alike.
Daily Press of Newport News: Hillary Clinton's selection can be seen as an honor for a man widely admired for moderation and good humor, and for his adherence to the rapidly fading (in fact, almost archaic) political tradition of putting pragmatism ahead of partisanship.
Richmond Times-Dispatch: Virginians will cheer Tim Kaine as someone they know and admire. He has never lost an election. His nomination also comes as a relief to independents and disaffected Republicans; he gives them a place to go. The Old Dominion ought to be proud.
Syndicates' take
Debra J. Saunders of The San Francisco Chronicle: If Leslie Van Houten is truly remorseful, she should accept that her punishment is to spend her days repenting in a correctional facility.
E.J. Dionne Jr.: Continuity we can believe in.
Eugene Robinson: Donald Trump's press conference: more outrages and lies.
Dana Milbank: Some Donald Trump-style speculation on the GOP and Vladimir Putin.
E.J. Dionne Jr.: Bill Clinton's most important speech.
Thomas L. Friedman: Web people vs. wall people.
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Why are so many people afraid of black people?
Tweet of the day
Political Junkie Ken Rudin, @kenrudin, "Can't tell if Tim Kaine is 'doing' Donald Trump or Bullwinkle."

Caffe d'orzo is a grain based coffee free hot drink that is as good as coffee… this comes from a real coffee lover. This version here is an old family recipe from Augusta, Sicily. It is a bit of work but worth the time and makes well over a pound.
barley grain 6 ounces
anise seed couple of pinches
cinnamon half a small stick
chopped almonds 5 ounces
dried figs 5 ounces
vanilla bean one whole bean
roasted carob granules 5 ounces
roasted chicory granules 6 ounces
- Roast the barley: put in shallow pan in oven at 450 till they all turn golden brown and smell good. Remove and cool. Grind to medium in your coffee grinder with the anise seed and cinnamon. Set aside in a mixing bowl and add the almonds to the bowl.
- Chop the figs and vanilla bean in small pieces and lay on the pan you have just used for the barley. Place this pan in the oven that is off but has been warmed from roasting the barley. Leave them in there till the oven cools down. This will further dry the figs and vanilla bean so they will be dryer and easier to mix and chop with the other ingredients later.
- Remove figs and vanilla from oven, let it cool. They will become harder and dryer when they cool. Make sure they are fully dry. Add to mixing bowl.
- Take all the ingredients in the mixing bowl and run in a food processor or mini chopper so that it is granulated to be kind of like coarsely ground coffee.
- Put it back in the mixing bowl and add the carob and chicory. Stir well. Store in a glass jar.
Now to make your drink. I use a moka pot, a small Italian stovetop pressure type coffee maker. I think this is the best way to make it but then I think this is the best way to make coffee too. You can also use a French press. Drip makers and percolators would not be suitable. A little agave or almond milk in your drink is good. I like it unadorned.
This is suitable for plant based diets, vegetarian and vegan.

Are you ready to hop on into Spring? Well this girl is and her mama! While I love cozy cardigans and french terry pullovers, I love warmer weather (my idea of warmer weather is between 75-85 degrees, which we get for like 3 days in Houston). I can't wait to start making and wearing tank tops and shorts and rompers…OH MY!
In today's blog post, I am writing about this wonderful fabric from Sew Jamlee Fabrics and More. This pink floral fabric made the perfect leggings and raglan top for my girl to wear to school. And a white raglan wouldn't be completed without a perfect appliqué saying.
This applique design is a modified HoopMama Design that can be found here. I used my Embrilliance software to remove the rays of sunshine since I only wanted the saying and the flower that matches perfectly with the fabric from Sew Jamlee Fabrics and More.
I'm so glad that I found this fabric shop. The quality is great and she is super fast at shipping. You can place your orders in her facebook group by sending Jules a facebook message. She really has some amazing fabric and I can't wait to get more.
I love how the cotton lycra fabric is so comfortable and allows her to move freely. Perfect for a fun and playful 6 year old girl. She already can't wait to wear this to school (hopefully it stays white) and show off her new mama made to her friends!
I used 2 patterns from CKC patterns for this outfit. The top is the Sydney Raglan pattern. I made a size 5 and used the straight hem bodice for the top. There is also a dress length option and an option to have both the dress and top length have a curved hemline. I love how this pattern is perfect for showcasing appliqués as well as amazing fabrics. For the leggings, I used the Priscilla Leggings pattern. This pattern has a few options. I chose the straight uncuffed option. This version makes the perfect leggings to play in. There is also an option to add a cuff as well as a side ruched panel option making this pattern very versatile.
Since Spring is on its way, my girl wanted to be the Easter Bunny so I snapped a shot of her posing as a bunny.
And now I will leave you with a few more shots from our photo shoot. She loves her new outfit and I love how it all came together.
Happy sewing!

The Best Soap for Dry & Sensitive Skin
I've had troublesome skin my whole life. When left to its own devices, my complexion is prone to cystic acne and oiliness. A couple years ago, I found a great dermatologist who put me on medication (spironolactone) that completely eradicated my acne — yay! The only downside is that now my skin is super dry and sensitive to harsh ingredients.
I've tried tons of different daily cleansers, but they often make my skin even drier than it already is, clog my pores or give me hives. After consulting with my doctor, she recommended Pure Olive Oil Soap by Kiss My Face. The result has been amazing, and I'm convinced it's for one very important reason.
This stuff has three ingredients, you guys. THREE: 1) sodium olivate (saponified olive oil), 2) water, and 3) sodium chloride (salt).
No crazy 12-letter chemicals, parabens, fragrances and methylprobahlahlah-whatever-the-hell happening here. It makes you wonder why so many soaps are packed with chemicals when you can make perfectly delightful soap without any of that garbage. I DON'T GET IT.
Anyway, this stuff cleans like a charm and doesn't give me any weird reactions. That's all I really ask for. Apparently some people out there like it so much, they use it to make laundry detergent and felt for crafting. I'll stick to just face-washing, thank you.
