Starring Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, Daniel O' Herlihy, Dick Warlock
Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace
Distributed by Scream Factory
Very few movies evoke the look and feel of October 31st like Halloween III. The original "trilogy" (that is to say, the three movies that Carpenter was involved in) gets a TON of mileage out of amazing music, Cundey photography and lots of terrific production design. So much so that it's hard to believe these movies weren't filmed in October. The level of authenticity is just amazing, all-around.
But Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a very special experience that was unjustly maligned for years because it dared to do something different with the established brand. So there's no Haddonfield, IL this time. And who's missing Michael Myers, exactly? Granted, I was as happy as anyone when the big guy made his comeback a few years later, but that's not an indictment of this film. A wholly original and eerie horror story that's as tasty as a bag of candy corns and a bottleful of pumpkin ale.
Towards the end of the film, resident villain Conal Cochran (an amazing performance by the late, great Daniel O' Herlihy) steps outside and smells Halloween in the air. It's a moment that any horror fan can relate to. The crisp air, ripe with sinister machinations, is an early harbinger of the October holiday – as intrinsic as jack o' lanterns, costumes and trick or treat. The scene leaps off the screen, resonating with anyone who feels Halloween in their bones. And it's complimented soon after by a superb example of scriptwriting and performance in which Cochran explains to our incapacitated hero (Tom Atkins) the deeper meaning of the holiday and its origins.
It's wonderful stuff all-around. From an unraveling mystery that intrigues from the very opening shot. Something involving toy masks, killer robots and "trade secrets" gives way to something even more sinister and primitive by the end. It doesn't entirely make sense (the ultimate fate of Stacey Nelkin's character is a head scratcher of sorts), but something about the story's most unlikely moments helps boost the film's creep and fun factors. This is, after all, a movie entirely about enjoying a good trick.
Director Tommy Lee Wallace (no stranger to John Carpenter's work) stages some really unforgettable moments here. The hotel room obliteration of Marge Guttman, for example, is about as nasty a moment as they come. And ditto the 'sacrifice' of the Kupfer clan. I can remember hearing kids talking about these scenes at recess when I was barely old enough to be in school: "And then bugs come out of her exploded face!" But Wallace also understands the importance of atmosphere, and Halloween III doesn't disappoint. One of the best moments in the entire series is the country-wide montage of kids parading around in Silver Shamrock costumes while that song plays. It doesn't come off like a recreation of Halloween. It is Halloween, and it's a damn impressive feat.
Hard to believe Halloween III turned thirty years old this year. But it is good to see its reputation growing with fans. Who cares if it doesn't have Michael Myers. As Uncle Creepy said, Rob Zombies movies did have him, and look how those turned out.
And with this, my Halloween high definition collection is complete. Shout brings Season of the Witch to Blu-ray in a wonderful-looking transfer. Having seen this films countless times on every available format for the last two decades, I'm happy to report I've never seen Halloween III look better. The detail offered throughout the image made me feel like I was seeing this flick for the first time (no small task, believe me). Facial features are excellent, backgrounds are almost overwhelming (especially once the action shifts to Cochran's factory) and black levels are really solid. Colors look great as Cundey's work is represented quite nicely here. I could not have been happier with this transfer.
Sadly, this is where the specs don't stack up with Shout's Halloween II Blu-ray. What we get here is a DTS-HD MA 2.0 lossless track. It's serviceable and clean, but hardly spectacular.
For the extras, there's commentary with director Tommy Lee Wallace as moderated by Icons of Fright's Robert Galluzzo and Horror Hound's Sean Clark. I liked this commentary as it covers a lot (if not all) the required ground. Then there's a commentary with actor Tom Atkins and Red Shirt Pictures' Michael Felsher. Another good one that covers the shooting experience, and quite a bit more as Atkins reflects upon his previous works and the movie's reception.
The half-hour documentary is quite good, too. Very informative and fun, with lots of great trivia offered. We also get a featurette on shooting locations revisited, a still gallery and TV spots. All-in-all, a delightful package for fans.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a cult classic that has had to fight and claw its way to a somewhat more respected spot in the genre all these years later. Shout Factory outfits its Blu-ray bow with terrific PQ, solid AQ and a fair smattering of supplemental features. For a while it seemed like this would never get the special edition it deserved, so I'm incredibly thankful to Shout for putting together this one. It's the perfect treat for this time of the year, and this disc seriously deserves a spot in any horror collection.

A couple of months ago, Google announced YouTubeTV. Then last week, Hulu with Live TV launched. And now CBS is changing their live streaming service to get in on the action.
CBS All Access, which includes recently broadcasted CBS shows and live streams from CBS affiliates, first launched in 2014. Then the Showtime streaming service launched in 2015. As of today, current customers can bundle the services to save money.
CBS All Access is $5.99 per month ($9.99 without commercials) and Showtime is $10.99 per month. Current subscribers can now upgrade and pay $14.99 for both streaming plans. The commercial free version is $18.99.
The service will include:
- Over 8,500 episodes of your favorite CBS shows, like "The Big Bang Theory," "Blue Bloods," and "NCIS."
- Original content, such as the next installment of "Big Brother" and a new "Star Trek" show.
- Live TV from local broadcast channels, special events and sports games, including NFL on CBS.
- All of the movies, stand-up comedy specials, and boxing matches on Showtime, plus original content, such as their hit show "Shameless."
The bundle will be available on phones, tablets and computers. Subscribers can also access it through smart TV devices, such as Roku, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast. When the service is available for everyone, new subscribers will most likely sign up through the CBS All Access site or the Showtime site.
So is this service worth it? On the one hand, the YouTube and Hulu live streaming services cost $35 and $40, respectively but you get access to live TV from all the major networks and several subsidiaries. This bundle only delivers content from CBS and one subsidiary (Showtime).
On the other hand, if you love CBS and Showtime programming and you don't watch much else then this could be the perfect plan for you. And if you were paying for both services separately then this bundle will definitely help you save money.
An HD Antenna, like the one in the Komando Shop, is also a cost-saving option. The Komando Indoor Amplified HD Antenna is a one-time cost that can give you access to about 180 channels. Click here to look at more of its features. Also, read this article for more tips on cutting your cable cord.

MN and PGGM are working together in their campaign for greater corporate social responsibility in the pharmaceutical sector. They are doing this so as to promote health worldwide, but also to make pharmaceutical companies themselves more vital, thus ensuring more stable returns for pension funds.
It's a recurring argument put forward by Van Kleeff and Rogier Snijdewind, his counterpart at PGGM: concern with the environment, social policy, and good governance is not only beneficial for people and society – it also prevents financial setbacks such as having to pay fines. So promoting CSR has a favourable effect on a company's profitability and consequently on investment returns. That goes for all companies, including in the pharmaceutical industry.
Besides general governance issues such as bribery and tax avoidance, there are also sector-specific topics that are dealt with in the dialogue programme. One example is 'Pay for Delay'. This involves the owner of a patent making private arrangements with another manufacturer – before the exclusive rights to its drug expire – to delay the launch of a cheaper version. 'That may be illegal', says Van Kleeff, 'but it still happens. It means that the consumer has to pay too much for the drug for a number of years. We do believe in patents, because companies should be rewarded for their efforts and for the risks that they undertake, but there need to be limits.'Another point dealt with in the MN/PGGM dialogue programme is the risk of rules being contravened when drugs are being tested, particularly in developing countries. 'There are stringent requirements that testing and the participants have to meet', says Van Kleeff. 'Safety and care are paramount. We do of course realise that testing is necessary – it means that a lot of patients can benefit. But it needs to be carried out very carefully.' There is the same emphasis on complying with the rules when 'off-label marketing' is involved. This means that medication is sold for applications for which the regulatory authorities have not yet given their approval. 'There are particularly strict rules for this in the US', says Snijdewind, 'and contravening those rules can lead to both health problems and high fines.'
In order to bring these issues firmly and permanently to the attention of pharmaceutical companies, it is effective to join forces. PGGM and MN found that they were both talking to companies in the pharmaceutical industry, so the two pension scheme administrators decided to act jointly. 'If you work together', says Snijdewind, 'you represent a greater amount of capital, which gives you a more powerful voice.' He also points out that cooperating leads to more effective dialogue: 'It means that you don't both ask all the same questions. That's more effective as regards actual content, and it's also better from the point of view of the company: things become more compact and more solution-oriented.'
The fact that attention to ESG offers more commercial advantages than just avoiding penalties can be illustrated with another important CSR topic in the pharmaceutical sector, namely 'Access to Medicine'. This has to do with the extent to which pharmaceutical companies make their products available to people who cannot afford expensive medication. Apart from the ethical responsibility that drug manufacturers have in this regard, there are also economic arguments for providing medication even if there aren't any short-term profits in return.
One important aid in the dialogue with pharmaceutical companies about access to medication is the Access to Medicine Index. Every two years, the index is produced by evaluating the efforts of the world's twenty largest pharmaceutical companies to make medication available to the very poorest people in the world. The more a company does in this regard, the higher it is placed in the ranking. ESG adviser Nando van Kleeff explains: 'Pharmaceutical companies that do well are complimented, and those that do less well are encouraged to improve.'

Make Your Best Business Case
Federal IT project managers may successfully
negotiate the minefield that lies between gotta-have-it IT requests and complex procurement
procedures, but they haven't won their IT funding
battle until they can convince the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) their proposal is
a solid IT capital investment. The demand for long-term IT
capital investment planning is an idea that is not new to
OMB. Outraged and frustrated by what he called "a chaotic
IT procurement process," Sen. William Cohen (R-Maine) in
1994 published a report, "Computer Chaos: Billions Wasted
Buying Federal Computer Systems." In 1996, with the bill's
co-sponsor, Rep. William Clinger (R-Pa.), he followed it with
the IT Management Reform Act, now known as the Clinger-Cohen Act.
The Clinger-Cohen Act mandated that
agencies do investment analyses to ensure
that they get their money's worth. Federal IT
managers have been working since then to
develop the capital IT investment planning
programs that will ensure accountability at
all levels of government.
As part of the investment planning
process, an agency must submit a business
case for any proposed capital investment,
and include details of how the proposed
investment would support its mission. The
requirement reinforces the emphasis on
results, a major tenet of the President's
Management Agenda. (See "Getting to
Green" on page 43.)
"The business case is a good business
practice, but just because it's a good practice
doesn't mean government wants to do it,"
says George Molaski, president and CEO of
E-Associates LLC, a Falls Church, Va.-based
government IT consulting firm. "The main
reason they do it is that they don't get
money unless they do."
Although agencies are at widely varying
stages in implementing capital investment
planning processes, most are lagging,
according to a recent report from the
General Accounting Office. Proposed IT
projects must score at least a four on GAO's
scorecard to be considered for funding; only
the White House scored a perfect five.
A major reason for the disparity among
agencies is federal project managers' lack of
experience in writing solid business cases.
Few federal managers are experienced in
managing the massive business process re-engineering efforts that many large capital
investments involve.
Too often, managers regard writing case
studies as a one-time exercise, Molaski says.
Managers write the business case and get
the money, he says, but they rarely step back
to consider whether they achieved the goals
and received the benefits they planned.
"Agencies need to take it to the next level
and make it more of a management tool than
a paper exercise," he says. "The business case
exercise should be developed into a portfolio
system. Although capital planning is an
important piece, the follow-upÂperiodic
re-evaluationÂalso needs to happen."
Though the task itself is far from simple,
finding the resources to do it is often more
difficult. "Congress asks agencies to develop
these systems, but they don't give any real
money to implement what the agencies
need to do," Molaski says. OMB does what
it can to help, he says, but what would help
even more is for Congress to buy into the
business case of funding its mandate.
Postal Opportunity
Despite such issues, the United States Postal
Service (USPS) became an early adopter of
the business case methodology. Taking its
cues from the spirit of the laws enacted by
CongressÂsuch as the Clinger-Cohen Act,
the Government Paperwork Reduction Act
and the Federal Information Security
Management ActÂthe Postal Service saw a
way to make better IT investment decisions.
Implementing such far-reaching new
planning processes in a large organization can
be painful, "but it's the right thing to do," says
Deborah Judy, USPS manager of IT value.
USPS's goal in creating its Business Case
System was to create an efficient, repeatable
and standardized process for evaluating all
competitors for IT resources. The tool lets
USPS easily create investment analyses and
prioritize IT investments based on value and
risk data. It looks at how the investment
would map to the Postal Service's strategic
alignment, determines the financial value,
cost and benefits, and calculates the value
and risks of the initiative's projected return
on investment.
The USPS evaluated several off-the-shelf
products and methodologiesÂincluding
Decision Theory, Applied Decision Analysis,
Economic Value, Balanced Scorecard and
Earned Value AnalysisÂthen incorporated
best practices from several into its proprietary
Understanding the methodology and cost
estimating for all components in the life cycle
of an IT investment isn't easy. To get managers
up to speed, the USPS uses a component of its
Business Case System, the integrated
methodology for system development.
The Advanced Computing Environment,
USPS's seven-year-old network infrastructure,
is an example of a business case success.
Postal Service managers built the business
case and got the funding to replace 200,000
antiquated desktops at roughly 28,000
postal facilities nationwide with up-to-date
desktop and notebook PCs.
Since that effort, the USPS has improved
the business case process for even greater
"The CTO can review the information
and determine which IT initiatives are the
best to invest in," Judy says. "Instead of going
through paperwork, he can create what-if
scenarios. The system automatically re-sorts
the initiative based on the criteria specified.
"We saved substantial time reworking
the business case," she continues.
"The repository was right there. There is
nothing worse than not having a repository
of business cases, because the business case
is a living document allowing us to do trend
analysis over the years and evaluate how
successful we've been."
Controlling the Program
The business case module is only a single
component of the integrated system
methodology. For the USPS, Judy explains,
the system works from the first minute they
contact a customer, through defining
requirements and planning an initiative, all
the way through to implementation and
In the control phase, the Postal Service
uses its Program Tracking Reporting System
(one component of its integrated planning
system) as an early warning sign of the
health and welfare of an initiative. Each
month, the CTO and direct report managers
review and discuss the status and progress of
all current initiatives.
The next step is the evaluation phase in
which the project manager searches in the
lessons-learned repository for insights from
past experience that could benefit ongoing
or proposed programs.
Although the CTO's endorsement is
invaluable, Judy emphasizes that buy-in
from all the players in the entire technology
organization is a key step in successfully
implementing the Business Case System.
"Mid-level managers need to feel there is
value in this for them," she says.
Communicating the Value
The Veterans Affairs (VA) Department has
also developed its own business case
methodology, focusing on communicating
its value throughout the organization.
Edward Meagher, deputy CIO of the VA,
points out that even though underlying
standards are critical to a CTO's ability to
manage the process, they're virtually useless
without communication to all players in the
IT organization.
"For agencies to embrace this concept,
they must see the value," Meagher says. "If
they don't see this [business case process] as
a discipline that allows them to deliver their
mission more effectively, they won't be able
to sustain the effort required to succeed."
Meagher credits focus and consistency
with his agency's successful submission of
59 business cases to the OMB covering the
VA's entire $1.5 billion annual IT budget. All
of the business cases were approved, so all
will be funded.
The VA went further than simply
embracing the business case process; it also
set a more rigorous scoring standard for
itself than that imposed by the OMB. "In
addition to assigning very knowledgeable,
high-performing people to the task, we
made sure every manager took it seriously,"
says Meagher. He added that his agency
worked closely with the OMB to understand
the process and respond to its information
The VA, in developing its business case
methodology, adapted many best-of-breed
components used by other agencies and by
the private sector. The result has been more
effective business cases, a reduction in
redundant systems, fewer failed projects,
better risk management, greater transparency
and projects that are more easily integrated
into the agency's enterprise architecture.
Managers who are using this process
should apply the business case discipline to
every project, Meagher advises. "You have to
do it fully or you're wasting time and effort.
You need to manage from your portfolio. If
you manage one program at a time, you're
less likely to make a good decision."
After a successful run in
the private sector, business
case analysis came to
government and fell short,
leaving many government IT
plannersÂand their IT capital
investment plansÂin the
Agencies could hire
consultants to advise IT
investment managers, who
often were inexperienced in
managing the large business
process re-engineering
efforts that many big capital
investments involve.
The Federal CIO Council
in July 2001 set out to get
some analytic tools that
planners could count on,
using the private sector's
methodology as a starting
point to develop a business
case analysis specifically for
government. A year later, the
Value Measuring Methodology
(VMM) debuted.
VMM is a set of guidelines
developed by the CIO
Council's Best Practices
Committee, the General
Services Administration
(GSA), the Social Security
Administration, analysts from
Booz Allen Hamilton and
affiliates of Harvard
University's Kennedy School
of Government.
By weighting financial and
non-financial risks and
benefits, VMM succeeds
where the private sector
methodology failed in letting
agencies capture the total
value of an IT investment.
The original tool failed in
government for several
fundamental reasons,
according to a presentation
by Michelle Quadt, senior
associate at Booz Allen:
 It focused on the financial
benefits only to government
and not to citizens
 Non-financial benefits were
not directly factored into the
 It didn't force development
of quantifiable measures
 It assumed that what's
good for government is good
for citizens
 It was viewed as a means
to get funding, not as a tool
for ongoing management
and evaluation.
VMM addresses those
shortcomings and also helps
agencies meet funding
prerequisites of the Office of
Management and Budget,
and requirements of the
Government Paperwork
Reduction Act and the Clinger-Cohen Act, Quadt says.
To ensure that VMM
would work as planned, the
working group refined and
tested it on cross-agency
e-government initiatives,
including e-Travel, which
gives feds real-time access to
data and faster travel
expense reimbursement.
The Case as Process
"When program managers
build business cases for IT
investments, they will be able
to improve their business
decisions if they view the
development of a business
case as a decision-making
process," says Roxie Murphy,
GSA's director of Electronic
Government Strategy
Division, Governmentwide
Policy Office.
"As you're building your
business case, VMM enables
you to build your supporting
justification," she says.

The Saratoga Springs City Council unanimously passed a new, local Safe Storage Law tonight. The law is named for Nicholas Naumkin, the twelve-year-old Saratogian who was accidentally shot and killed by a friend in December 2010.
Nicholas's Law will require guns to be safely stored when not in the owner's immediate possession or control. This includes a safe storage depository, or a secure locking device to prevent access by children or anyone else and makes it a felony when a gun is not safely stored and is used to injure another person.
Here is the essence of the event at City Hall tonight, presented in their own words.
"I would like to thank Saratoga Springs City Council for passing Nicholas's Law today. It has been five and a half years since our son Nicholas was taken away from us. There are no words to describe the pain we live with every day. No parent should ever have to experience this kind of loss and that is why it is so important that we stand together to prevent these senseless tragedies from happening over and over again. Your vote today will prevent such tragedies from devastating other families. Adults must be held criminally responsible when unsecured guns get into the hands of children. I am proud to work with New Yorkers Against Gun Violence and Saratogians for Gun Safety to fight for sensible gun laws in this state. Now we need the Senate to act and pass Nicholas's Law at the state level to protect all New York families and children." Oxsana Naumkin, Nicholas Mother
"Safety is the number one priority for any community. Saratoga Springs' families deserve any sensible precautions we can collectively take. If Nicholas's Law saves even one life, it will help ensure other families won't have to endure such a horrifc tragedy." Joanne Yepsen, Mayor Saratoga Springs
"Saratoga Springs has taken an important step to protect the safety of families and especially children in our community. By passing our local version of Nicholas's Law we will increase awareness of the need to maintain the safe and secure storage of firearms and significantly reduce the possibility of another tragedy such as the one experienced by Nicholas's family." Saratoga Springs, Commissioner Chris Mathiesen, legislation sponsor.
"As a parent, when this happened to the Naumkin family, I was very saddened and found I could not let it go. I joined New Yorkers Against Gun Violence to do what I could do so this would not happen again. I am grateful to the city of Saratoga Springs for coming together to keep our children safe," Pat Tuz, Capital Region Coordinator for New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. Member Saratogians for Gun Safety.

isayel point of view...
Nowadays if you had to make a report, it means:
- mobile book authoring
- editing
- publishing.
How can we complish these tasks introducing as well social collaboration (increasing the added value of the work)?
- According to Michael Ashley (Founder & Chief Technology Officer at FastPencil, Inc.):
- "...The cell phone is no longer just for chatting...Mobile apps give you more freedom and faster access to your content, no matter where you are..."
- "...new mobile technology and netbooks will make it even easier to read, write and work together in a more meaningful way..."
- "...No longer will you have to nurture your idea,...,search endlessly for old notebooks or disparate files lost on an old computer. You will be connected to your content and your collaborators through your SaaS, you'll have immediate access to your notes and chapters through your mobile apps, and you'll publish with just a few clicks..."
- According to Harold Jarche in http://www.jarche.com/2011/04/technologies-for-collaboration-and-cooperation/ - 2011.04.14
- "Open networking environments lack the tools needed for project work while enterprise collaboration systems lack openness and flexibility. There is an opportunity for platforms like Yammer & Socialcast or Brainpark to bridge the structured with the informal. Three smaller pieces loosely joined seems to be a better approach for collaborative work/learning at this time rather than a unified platform. That may change as collaboration technologies mature but for now any large organization should be looking at all three."

I have been watching my niece Hazel a bit lately. She is adorable. I am grateful that I am able to help my sister-in-law in this way. We are really lucky to live close to Mike's siblings and parents. It makes things like babysitting and cousin play dates and Sunday dinners so convenient. When we first started house hunting here in Arizona, we focused our search on newer, younger, farther away neighborhoods. But I am so thankful that we ended up close to family instead. I love my in-law family. Living near them is a wonderful blessing. We get together often, and we have such a nice time when we do.

text: Aboo Uthmaan 0 Posted January 30, 2006 As-salaamu 'alaikum The following makes for an interesting read: The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect "total accuracy†from the Bible. "We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision,†they say in The Gift of Scripture... ...But the first 11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting stories of creation are told, are among those that this country's Catholic bishops insist cannot be "historicalâ€. At most, they say, they may contain "historical tracesâ€... ...They say the Church must offer the gospel in ways "appropriate to changing times, intelligible and attractive to our contemporariesâ€. The Bible is true in passages relating to human salvation, they say, but continue: "We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters.â€... ... As examples of passages not to be taken literally, the bishops cite the early chapters of Genesis, comparing them with early creation legends from other cultures, especially from the ancient East. The bishops say it is clear that the primary purpose of these chapters was to provide religious teaching and that they could not be described as historical writing. Similarly, they refute the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, in which the writer describes the work of the risen Jesus, the death of the Beast and the wedding feast of Christ the Lamb. The bishops say: "Such symbolic language must be respected for what it is, and is not to be interpreted literally. We should not expect to discover in this book details about the end of the world, about how many will be saved and about when the end will come.†Genesis ii, 21-22 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; and the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man Genesis iii, 16 God said to the woman [after she was beguiled by the serpent]: "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.†Matthew xxvii, 25 The words of the crowd: "His blood be on us and on our children.†Revelation xix,20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.†Read the article in full here: (www.)"you can't post links until you reach 50 posts_www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-1811332,00.html"]you can't post links until you reach 50 posts_www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13...1811332,00.html[/url] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first afternoon in the ward was uneventful, aside from standing up and walking around the bed for the first time with the aid of a physiotherapist. I chatted cheerfully with my family (while itching quite a bit from the fentanyl, but it didn't really bother me) and then settled down for sleep. Here began the hardest part of my stay in hospital. My neck was beginning to swell a bit, and as I lay flat on the bed and slept (which meant I was not pressing my green painkiller button), my pain started to build. The nurses came to check on me every two hours, and on their first check I woke up in pretty severe pain. I grabbed my mobile phone and chatted to friends and family to keep myself distracted while I stayed awake to hit the green button the moment it lit up again.
Despite the fact that I was in pain and seeing double, I was in pretty good spirits. I had been very shocked by how little pain there had been so far, so it felt like now I knew what I was in for and knew that I could handle it. I remember also thinking that it was really cool that I got to know what this felt like, but I'm a bit morbidly curious like that. Within an hour or two, the pain had subsided to a manageable level, although I didn't get much sleep at all that night.
The next morning a nurse came in and removed my IV, so we needed to find me a new painkiller that I could take orally. They started me off on endone (oxycodone). My family and the nurses also noticed the swelling in my neck and suggested that we incline the bed upwards to help the swelling go down and relieve some of the pain. This made it much more uncomfortable to relax and sleep, but I do believe it helped me recover much faster.
It didn't take long after taking the endone for me to start feeling some nasty nausea, so the nurses gave me a vomit bag and an anti-nausea medication that you place under your tongue (it tastes absolutely foul). Half an hour later, the nausea was worse, so they gave me another anti-nausea tongue thingie. I was truly feeling some of the worst sickness I had ever felt at this point. Around lunch time my mother and sister came in baring a beautiful white moth orchid, but instead of being able to thank them I instantly started vomiting large amounts. Vomiting when your neck hurts to move is not fun, but thankfully it was over somewhat quickly and I instantly started feeling better.
I spent the rest of that afternoon half-way between sleep and waking, completely and utterly zonked. Thankfully one of the nurses realised quite quickly that this was a bad reaction to the endone, so I wasn't given any more of it. I was again not in much pain, so they decided to offer me ibuprofen and paracetamol for a while and see how I handled things.
You'll have to forgive me, at this point I start forgetting what happened on what day. Being in hospital, you tend to lose track of time. I spent most of my time watching Futurama on my laptop, chatting to friends on my phone and spending time with my family. Once a day the physio would drop by, and each day I could walk a little further, although I felt very dizzy doing so. My mother needed to give me a hand with showering, although my strength and balance were coming back surprisingly fast. I was alternating between two paracetamol and one ibuprofen about every three hours, and my pain was extremely manageable. In fact I'd almost say it was easy. The nurses kept asking "how bad is it on a scale of one to ten?" and I'd usually reply somewhere between one and three. This is coming from me, one of the biggest wimps I've ever known who is terrified of pain and still yells "ow" when she gets and injection.
Speaking of injections, they also started me on heparin injections in the stomach twice a day. The injection itself didn't hurt much at all as they were tiny, but as I got more and more of them and my stomach got bruised, they started leaving me with a sometimes quite painful aching for up to half an hour afterwards. However, they were surely a lot less painful than getting blood clots in my legs!
We also one day noticed that I had a surgical staple in the side of my head. That was a bit alarming, seeing as it was quite a way from the surgical incision, but the doctor informed us that it was because of the system they use to keep the head steady during surgery. Apparently it broke the skin and hit an artery, so they had to staple it up quickly as I was waking up from surgery at the time. The nurse came and removed it, which was completely painless.
I'm going to have to stop there for now, I'll cover my discharge and settling in at home in the next post 🙂

Abandoned mineral lands (AML) are lands, waters, and surrounding watersheds that contain facilities, structures, improvements, and disturbances associated with past mineral exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation, including oil and gas features and operations, for which the NPS takes action under various authorities to mitigate, reclaim, or restore in order to reduce hazards and impacts to resources.
Not surprisingly, the legacy of abandoned mineral lands spans North America. Long before the arrival of Europeans, American Indians mined flint, obsidian, and native copper for tools and weapons, turquoise and other stones for jewelry, and clay for pots and pipes. During the 16th century, the lure of gold and the prospect of great wealth drove Spanish explorers into North and South America. Later gold rushes and "Manifest Destiny" were responsible for Europeans settling much of the western United States. The industrial age of the 19th and 20th centuries introduced large-scale extraction of mineral resources such as coal, copper, and iron, oil, gas, and uranium, leaving significant environmental impacts on the land. Deserted, these sites now stand in silent testimony to those who pioneered this country in search of mineral wealth.
Historically, companies and individuals explored for and extracted a wide variety of metals, minerals, fossil fuels, and mineral materials from lands that are now part of the National Park System. Precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum;and base metals such as copper, lead, and zinc have been extracted. Industrial minerals such as talc, limestone, and borates;building stone;and aggregate materials such as sand and gravel have also been mined. Coal mining and oil and gas development have also occurred in parks. Sites often have waste rock piles (unprocessed, sub-grade mined rock), tailings (mined rock that has been processed to remove the desired commodities), abandoned roads, fuel storage tanks, drainage diversions, buildings such as mills and assay shops, deteriorating structures such as headframes and tramways, and abandoned heavy equipment. Abandoned mineral sites and features are remnants of a time when operators were not required by federal or state laws and regulations to perform reclamation. Now, reclamation is required by agency regulations that implement federal and state laws.

Ready or not, here we go: Lent starts this Wednesday. Are you ready? Have you got a Lenten practice in mind, a particular form of the traditional Lenten practices prayer, fasting, and almsgiving? Are you giving something up? Taking something on?
If Lent crept up on you this year and you're looking for some last minute ideas, here's a little round up for you:
Daily Theology has reposted a nice Lenten reflection by Brian Flanagan from 2012, Why I am Fasting from Facebook for Lent. I particularly liked this comment:
But one difficulty I have with some Lenten practices – my own, particularly – is the way in which they can easily turn into a liturgical version of New Year's resolutions. Whether fasting from food, or desserts, or television, or, in my case this year, Facebook, Lenten discipline can easily slide from an act of devotion to an act of self-development – 7 habits of highly effective repentant people. And, if by giving up desserts we're better prepared for swimsuit season, well, that's just a bonus.
If that rings a little too true to you, check out Margaret Felice's helpful suggestions of Seven Ways to Observe Lent that have Nothing to Do with Candy.
JustFaith has a very fine Lenten Invitation that includes this framing:
Why fast and deny ourselves? Why face the poverty within us and pay attention to people at the margins of society? What need do we have for Lent's stark wastelands?
Because there has to be nothing before there can be anything. Because new life, every unanticipated form of creation and persistent possibility, erupts from the wasteland, out of the depths, the silence of the earth, and the dry bones of our desire for newness.
The Jesuits are offering a "Lent-plus" resource Moved to Greater Love, that started this past Sunday and lasts through the first week of Easter (traditionally known as Bright Week).
Of course there's the classic Operation Rice Bowl, now available as a mobile app! (Anybody want to report back in the comments on how the mobile app compares to the traditional calendar and ricebowl experience??)
Last but not least, as my longtime readers know, there's Lent Madness! This is a fun program offered by our Episcopalian sisters and brothers (but they welcome participation by other Christians as well) similar to some sports-related thing that happens in March. It's light-hearted and irreverent, so it won't appeal to everyone, but I find it a great devotional immersion in the communion of saints: not only the saints we will learn about and vote for to win the Golden Halo, but also the companionship (another term for "communion") of all the other aspiring saints (another term for "Christians") who participate.
If this sounds remotely appealing to you, I encourage you to download your bracket and give it a try. You can follow them on facebook or twitter, and check out the Lent Madness website every day to read about the saintly matchup of the day, vote in the poll, and chat about your choices in the comments.
As a closing thought, I'll leave you with a couple of tweets:

With the ITU Honeybees dropping from EQC 2015, the Quidditch Post can confirm that the Leicester Thestrals have been offered the vacated spot and have officially accepted it.
"I can confirm that Leicester Thestrals are ecstatic to be invited to EQC 2015 and have accepted the offer of a place," said captain Elliot Gray. "Whilst we, like everyone else, are obviously disappointed that ITU HoneyBees are unable to attend, the team are absolutely raring to go and play against the best teams this continent has to offer. We can't wait to get down there, show everyone what we can do, and why this invitation was deserved."
The Thestrals were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the recent British Quidditch Cup by Keele Squirrels, and had a lower Quaffle Point Differential than both the Falmouth Falcons and the Nottingham Nightmares, who received the two EQC 2015 spaces from BQC. All teams that reached the quarterfinals at that event are now confirmed to attend EQC.

The Honeybees placed third at the recent Turkish Cup and were slated to attend EQC after the second-place METU Hippogriffs determined they would be unable to travel. However, a lack of university financial aid, and the subsequent recent defection of the Honeybees two captains to fellow Turkish qualifiers, the METU Unicorns, ultimately led to the Honeybees withdrawal.
"The EQC Committee, along with Quidditch Europe, have decided to award the space opened up from ITU Honeybees dropping out to a team from the UK," Luke Twist, the tournament director of EQC 2015 said. "This means that the Leicester Thestrals, the next highest unqualified team from the official BQC rankings, were offered the spot earlier today, and I'm glad to announce that they have accepted the offer, and will be competing in EQC in just over three weeks time. The decision to offer the spot to a team from the UK was made for a number of reasons, taking into account the number of official teams from all European regions and how easy it would be for teams from different locations to organise travel to Oxford on such short notice. For these reasons we think it's fair that a UK team is offered the space."
Amy Maidment, the President of QuidditchUK, was pleased that another UK team will have the chance to attend Europe's premier competition.
Amy Maidment, the President of QuidditchUK, was pleased that another UK team will have the chance to attend Europe's premier competition.
"Whilst it's always sad to see teams unable to attend tournaments, I'm overjoyed that we get yet another chance to show off the quidditch talent that the UK has to offer", Maidment said. "Leicester are a ferocious team full of fighters who will add yet another level of excitement to EQC 2015. They deserve to be playing at this level, just as every other UK team does, and I'm sure all ten UK teams attending the tournament will prove this and put on a show for the rest of Europe."

Gotta admit that I really enjoyed the last in the series and am looking forward to seeing the next chapter in the saga. However, over 3 hours seems really long but if it's good it could be 8 hours and I wouldn't mind.
Yes. Although I won't know if I like the last one until it comes out. Avengers was very entertaining and Infinitely War was engrossing. Age of Ultron was good, but dark in a not-as-good way as Infinity War. If End Game is as good as Infinity War then 3 hours is fantastic.
I have enjoyed almost every Marvel movie up to this point. Iron Man 1, CA: Winter Soldier, and Avengers 1 are my favorites, but I liked all of them enough to not feel like I wasted my time watching.
I will maybe see Captain Marvel, and I'll definitely see Infinity War, and them I'm done. I didn't see Ant Man 2 - probably should, as it would be the only one I didn't see.
It's just too much. I'm burned out. And inconsistencies in the heroes relative abilities is starting to be annoying.
For example, In Iron Man 1, IM takes a tank shell to the face, falls out of the sky, and gets up none the worse for wear (besides a burn mark on his helmet face.)
In CA: Civil War, Captain America has great success just punching IM in the face. More damaging to IM than a tank shell?? Where was this power in every fight CA had with a non-super-hero? In the elevator fight in CA: Winter Soldier he had to punch regular guys multiple times to down them. Whaaa?
All in all, they're consistently enjoyable high-quality productions that I've had about enough of. I won't mind a 3hr "finale" for my investment in these heroes as we know them.
Don't watch them. Doubting if they are even real.
I agree that they are good movies, but get to be too much. I haven't even seen Black Panther or the Ant Man movies. I am looking forward to End Game though. I've gotten burned out with other series of movies also. I have not seen any of the Hobbit movies, the last Rings one was my limit. Haven't seen the last few X-men ones either, though I think I would like to catch up a little on that series.
Yes, and no.
Love them! Honestly though whenever a movie runs much more than 2 hours, I start to feel like it should have been shorter. I probably will not feel that way when it comes to this movie as I love Marvel and grew up on the comics, but I may be wishing there was an intermission so I can pee.
Just saw Captain Marvel last weekend and thought it was great. I agree with ZWExton that Avengers 1, Capt America Winter Soldier and Iron Man 1 are my favorites. I could watch them many times over and would not complain if they were longer.
I thought Black Panther was a visual feast, but not quite as entertaining although movie goers in general seem to disagree. I sometimes get annoyed that they do not follow the original comics more closely, but if they followed them too closely then I would probably be bored.
I know some people feel there are too many superhero movies now and I get that, but as a comic book junkie I'm glad we're getting to see these characters on the big screen and that the superhero movies are so much better than they used to be. I haven't been completely thrilled with the X-Men movies, but that was one of my favorite books that I read religiously from the 70's into the 90's. I will see the upcoming movie, but my guess is that they won't do the Dark Phoenix story justice.
We really like the Avenger movies and can't wait to see End Game. As a matter of fact my wife just started re-watching all of them in chronological order before End Game.
I don't want to see any three hour movies.
I agree. I start looking at my watch at the 2 hour mark. Ideally 90 minutes, or 2 hours if it's needed to tie everything together for a proper ending. Anything beyond that and I'm losing interest in a hurry.
I can't even watch 3 hours of porn.........😜
sdandrea1 I can't even watch 3 hours of porn
Not without a time out at least
sdandrea1 I can't even watch 3 hours of porn.........😜
If you need 3 hours of porn, you're probably doing something wrong....or stop taking the little blue pills!
Reminds me of an old comedian who used to say he'd lose interest after 10 minutes for some reason.
KCee stop taking the little blue pills!
I do take a little blue pill. It's called Finasteride and is for the enlarged prostate. Everything else works just fine........so far. 😎
No, I do not watch Avengers movies. By the time I read thru the threads on this site, my thirst for fantasy has been quenched. 😁 😯👽 🤖⛳
As long as it's a very good movie, 3 hrs does not bother me.
I would prefer three hours as opposed to rushing through the story.
I think Marvel has done a decent job, for the most part, of staying true to the source material (or at least the spirit of the source material) and updating the stories to fit present day....except for the Mandarin....I did not like how they handled him....
YafflDaffl Mandarin..
Had to look that up. Didn't know Iron Man until the Robert Downey Jr. movies came out, and then never saw the 3rd one.
Have not seen any and have no plans or interest in seeing any.

When you install ESXi 5.x from vmware you don't have all the plug-ins or modules that a vendor customized ESX images has. Why you ask? well you might want to monitor your ESX host with HP insight manager, IBM System Director or other management software. Or want to update your drivers and firmware with update software of the vendor, with this customized images of the vendor yo don't need to install de additional plug-ins.
here are some links to the vendors i use the most ( at the time of writing ESXi 5.5 update 1 was out)
- IBM VMware vSphere hypervisor (ESXi)
- HP Customized ESXi Image (HP site) or HP Customized ESXi Image (vmware site)
- DELL Customized ESXi Image
- Cisco Customized ESXi image
there might be other images but these are the most used i think
hope this helps

Switching from baseball to track a solid decision for Antioch's Grindley
It's May 2018, hours before the start of the Northern Lake County Conference boys track and field meet. Antioch coach Chris Bailey needs to fill a hole in his lineup.
One of his high jumpers is injured.
Bailey spots Zach Grindley in a hallway at school. Grindley, then a junior, is a first-year trackster and former Sequoits baseball player. The rookie has competed in the long jump, in the 100-meter dash, in the 4x100 relay.
High jump?
"Never," Grindley, more than a year later, recalls.
Bailey hands his phone to Grindley in that hallway and tells him to watch a video of a famous high jumper jumping. Grindley watches -- no, studies -- the footage, having been told he would be Antioch's void filler in the high jump later that day.
"I looked at another video at school, and then I viewed more videos of high jumpers on the way to the meet," Grindley says of the sporadic cram session. "My coaches were hoping I'd be able to get points for the team in the high jump."
Grindley got third-place points with a clearance of 5-feet-8.
It's May 2019, at another track meet, this one more prestigious than the NLCC gathering, this one the Class 3A state meet in Charleston. Grindley again finishes third in the high jump. The 6-foot-5, 165-pound senior had soared cleanly over a bar resting exactly 6 feet, 5 inches above the ground.
From oh-so-green high jumper to state high jump bronze medalist in … 54 weeks.
"A phenomenal athlete," Bailey says of Grindley, the Daily Herald Lake County Male Athlete of the Year for 2018-19.
"Zach is extremely fast, with ridiculous explosiveness as a jumper. (Sequoits football coach and assistant boys track coach) Brian Glashagel and I had been trying to get Zach to come out for track. I'd see Zach in a hallway at school and tell him, 'You have a future in track.' I'd also tell him, 'There's a spot for you on the team if baseball doesn't work out for you.' "
The left-handed Grindley -- a Lakeside Legends youth pitcher/outfielder before becoming a tall, lean hurler with a 75-mph fastball for Antioch's under-level baseball squads -- chose to store his baseball bat for good and handle a relay baton for the first time two springs ago.
David Grindley (a former three-sport athlete at Antioch) was convinced his son (with Antioch alumna Nancy, a former Rutgers gymnast) had a future in college baseball.
"Had a long talk with my dad about my big decision," says Grindley, who also was a record-setting wideout in football and a two-year varsity basketball player. "The talk lasted several days. But my dad ended up loving track and field, loved attending our meets. He was happy at meets."
David's son, whose easygoing nature belies his resolute competitiveness in sports, had nine reasons to smile during an astoundingly successful stretch of three meets last month. Grindley won the long jump, the high jump and the triple jump at the Lake County meet. Eight days later he won all three jumps at his second NLCC get-together, setting meet marks in the long jump (22-9, also a school record) and the triple jump (45-4).
One week later, at a sectional, Grindley went 22-3 in the long jump, 6-5 in the high jump and 44-3 in the triple jump. First place, first place, first place.
The former baseball player had earned the Triple Crown in jumps.
"I'd never seen that, never even heard of that," Bailey says.
It'll be hard to forget what Grindley did on a football field last September. Grindley came down with 4 receptions (3 TDs) and amassed a program-record 203 receiving yards in a 49-13 defeat of Wauconda.
"Long arms, big hands and great hands, with tremendous speed," Glashagel says of Grindley, who intends to major in premed and jump at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. "Here's the thing, the exciting thing, about Zach, the track athlete -- he's still raw, still figuring things out in the sport. UW-La Crosse is a men's track powerhouse, and I have no doubt he'll flourish up there."

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited opened in Hong Kong on 3 March 1865 and in Shanghai one month later. It was the first locally owned bank to operate according to Scottish banking principles.
By 1875 HSBC was present in seven countries across Asia, Europe and North America. It financed the export of tea and silk from China, cotton and jute from India, sugar from the Philippines and rice and silk from Vietnam.
By 1900, after strong growth under Chief Manager Thomas Jackson, the bank had expanded into 16 countries and was financing trade across the world. Bullion, exchange and merchant banking were important features of the bank's business.
In the early 20th century, HSBC widened the scope of its activities in Asia. It issued loans to national governments to finance modernisation and infrastructure projects such as railway building.
The First World War brought disruption and dislocation to many businesses. By the 1920s, however, Asia was beginning to prosper again as new industries developed and trade in commodities such as rubber and tin soared.
The 1930s brought recession and turmoil to many markets. Nonetheless, HSBC asked architects Palmer and Turner to design a new head office in Hong Kong: "Please build us the best bank in the world." The cutting-edge art deco building opened in 1935.
The bank faced one of its most challenging times during the Second World War. Staff in Asia showed huge courage in the face of adversity. Many became prisoners of war. Only the London, Indian and US branches remained in full operation.
At the end of the war, HSBC took on a key role in the reconstruction of the Hong Kong economy. Its support helped established manufacturers as well as newcomers to Hong Kong grow their business.
By the 1970s the bank had expanded through acquisition. HSBC bought Mercantile Bank and The British Bank of the Middle East in 1959. In 1972 it formed a merchant banking arm, extending its range of services.
In the 1980s HSBC bought Marine Midland Bank in the US. In 1992, the newly created HSBC Holdings plc made a recommended offer for full ownership of the UK's Midland Bank. Following the acquisition, HSBC moved its headquarters to London.
In 1998, the bank announced it would adopt a unified brand, using HSBC and the hexagon symbol everywhere it operated.
HSBC remains committed to connecting customers to opportunities. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.

This is a condition of facial redness that is sometimes also accompanied by pimples, larger facial blood vessels, and eye irritation. Management depends on the form of rosacea: with pimples being treated with gels, creams and/or pills while redness is treated with the intense pulsed light and laser device.
Our work with rosacea
- New methods of evaluating severity
- Worldwide prevalence of rosacea
- New treatments continue to be evaluated in research trials for rosacea
- Warts are skin growths caused by a viral infection in the outer layer of skin. They are very common; particularly in children (almost 20% of school-age children have them).
- In children, warts tend to disappear over a period of several months to years, but sometimes they can be very stubborn and resistant to many types of treatment. In many adults, warts often prove even more difficult to destroy.

I know … sometimes you just want to hop in the car and head to nearest Grill for a juicy burger and fries. There's no two ways about it. You've got the craving! Well, I assume most people get that craving now and then. I certainly do. And I know it's genetic. My mother has had these unexplained cravings pretty regularly all my life. I'm just waiting to see which of my kids get it … Betsy I think. But sometimes you just can't do it. Everybody in the family wants one and there's no way you're going to spend $8-12 a head just for burgers and fries for everyone. Well, the luxury of having someone else do the cooking and the cleaning is pretty much what 75% of that cost is going toward, and if you can rope someone into being your assistant grill chef, and then whine a little and claim "I cooked!" as an excuse to get out of the clean up, you're not doing too badly! Because these really are the real McCoy. I've been working on these recipes for half a dozen years, and I've got it down pat. Put on your grilling apron, grab a lighter and lets' go!
Okay, well, I know you're all excited and raring to go. But you have to actually back up a step and start with frozen burger patties. I know. Sacrilege. But it's part of the secret. You don't think your neighborhood Bar & Grill pulls out a lump of fresh ground beef and hand-shapes their patties every time you ask for one, do you? Probably not. I make my own frozen patties. I bought one of these little gadgets:
I divide my ground beef into 1/4 lb. lumps, insert into the burger press, and … well … I press. Then I have a flat 1/4 lb. burger, which I transfer to a baking sheet covered in waxed paper. You could make your patties larger if you like – 1/3 lb. or more. When the sheet is full I put it in my deep freeze for several hours until the patties are firm, then I trim the waxed paper between each row of two burgers (I can usually get four columns of two burgers each on a regular-sized baking sheet). Then I stack them on top of each other and insert into a gallon-sized freezer bag and put back in the freezer until I want to cook them. Easy-peazy. Or you can buy pre-frozen burgers at your grocery, but be sure they are 100% ground beef. The good stuff. No "beef-hearts" on the ingredients label, okay? Just 100% ground beef.
Once you have your frozen patties, you'll need to fire up the grill at a "high" setting. Here is your list of ingredients:
Frozen burger patties
Montreal Steak Seasoning
A-1 Steak Sauce
Specialty Hamburger Bun (deli buns, seeded buns, kaiser rolls, onion rolls … whichever you like best when you order a burger at a Grill or a Steakhouse.)
Butter (not margarine)
Mayo (for those who like mayo on their burgers)
Various Burger Toppings: Onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, relish, sliced cheese of whichever variety you adore on a burger
Alrighty! Throw those bad boys on the grill! Close the lid and let them sit for a few minutes – 3 or 4. Then flip them. The side that was facing the flames should now be starting to soften and cook a little bit. Pour a quarter-sized dollop of A-1 Steak Sauce into the midde of each burger, spread it all around with the back of your spatula, or if you are looking to dirty an extra utensil, with your basting brush. Then sprinkle the Montreal Steak Seasoning evenly over the burgers. The heavier the sprinkle, the spicier they'll be. This may take a little experimenting on your part to see just how spicy you like them. Spicy is relative, though. This just gives the burger an interesting little kick. We're not talking "buffalo wing spicy" here.
Cook your burgers as usual to the desired doneness. You may wish to repeat the Steak Sauce/Montreal Steak Seasoning routine with the other side of your burger, depending on how thick your burgers are and how much flavor you like on them. After the last time you flip your burgers before they're done cooking, grab the burger buns and liberally butter the insides on both the top and bottom bun. Put on the warming rack if you have one, or over a low flame on the grill rack if you don't. Throw the slices of cheese on the burgers of whomever wants cheese on theirs to let it melt, then remove burgers to a platter. Toast the buns, watching carefully not to burn them. When they are toasted nicely, pull the top buns off the grill and smear them with mayo for the mayo-loving folks — this is pretty important — you want the mayo warmed by the hot bun. Now, pop a burger (or two) onto each bun. Dress with desired toppings. That's all there is to it! These are the best burgers. I dream about them at night. Okay, I don't, but I do get cravings for them. So does my Mom.

I need to update you guys. It's the Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Toner. We've fallen out you see. Had a skincare breakup.
Loved it at first. Used it morning and night for about 6 weeks, the entire bottle. Thought it was great. Very similar to the Pixi Glow Tonic, maybe a little more drying but with good results. Skin felt fresh and looked bright. I even bought a second bottle.
But then I had some issues. A nasty breakout around my nose, lots of little spots that felt itchy and hot. The Superdrug Glycolic was the only thing I'd changed, so I parked it and laid off the acid exfoliation altogether.
And the spots went. It took a couple of weeks, but they cleared up completely. A month passed and I started using the Superdrug toner again. Cue total skin meltdown. It became immediately inflamed, the spots came back and I've struggled with them ever since.
Having diagnosed myself via Dr. Google, I think it's dermatitis. Whatever it is, the spots come and go but the skin stays red and sore. Was it the Superdrug Glycolic Toner? Who knows. Can't say for sure.
What I do know, having had a closer look at the ingredients, is that it contains a ton of sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is used to control the pH levels in cosmetics, but is also a strong irritant.
So contrary to my original review, I won't be buying it again. Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Toner, binned.
Til next time,

Six of the city's most iconic buildings will dim their lights for five minutes Tuesday night in honor of the two police officers gunned down in Brooklyn over the weekend.
Officials announced that the buildings plan to dim lights from 9 to 9:05 p.m.
"Our city is in pain," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. "We ask all New Yorkers to turn their thoughts to our shared identity as New Yorkers and to honoring the memories of the two fine men we lost."
The buildings that have agreed to participate are the Empire State Building; Chrysler Building; 1 World Trade Center; 30 Rockefeller Plaza; Four Times Square; and 1 Bryant Park.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lights will also be dimmed, the officials announced.
Officers Wenjian Liu, 32, and Rafael Ramos, 40, were fatally shot execution-style in Brooklyn on Saturday by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a psychologically disturbed man who had vowed to target police on social media posts. The gunman then fled and killed himself as responding officers converged on him.

Hi there,
I started out this week hearing that one of my two fabulous colleagues who help keep this blog running has H1N1. Then I heard a very scary statistic; in cases of pregnant women who get H1N1, one in four dies. That is horrifying! I have also heard (for a while now) of pregnant women who are choosing to not get vaccinated because of concerns about the vaccine. That got me thinking about how divorced parents might have problems with the vaccination issue as well.
In a joint legal custody situation there should always be communication about medical issues. I then came across an excellent related discussion on the Ontario Family Law Blog, from Ontario divorce attorney/blogger Brian Galbraith. For a take on the U.S. status, be sure to click through to a great post on the New Hampshire Family Law Blog by Attorney Kysa Cruso.
Stay healthy!

The Monumental Bullring
City of Aguascalientes
Boulevard Adolfo López Mateos and Calle Rafael Rodríguez Domínguez
Barrio San Marcos (449) 918.4933
Schedules vary according to event.
Plaza de Toros Monumental
Go to a bullfight or attend a concert; there are plenty to choose from. Check the program for details. .
This bullfighting arena opened its doors on November 23, 1974, when the local Bishop blessed the bullring and the city's mayor unveiled the inaugural plaque.
The same day the arena held its first bullfight and in the ring were Manuel Martinez, Eloy Cavazos and Fermín Espinosa (Armillita), who began his professional career that day fighting bulls from Torrecillas. Initially, the arena could accommodate nine thousand spectators, but after its expansion in 1990 capacity increased to fifteen thousand.
The arena has a fully-equipped surgery, just in case, and a chapel which, unlike those at other bullrings, is dedicated to the Black Christ, Lord of Encino, who is found in the Triana neighborhood, birthplace of several famous bullfighters, including Alfonso Ramírez "El Calesero", Los Sánchez, and Los Armilla.
