Opioid pain medications are some of the most commonly abused medicines around the world.1 Although prescription opioids are frequently prescribed by primary care doctors for pain relief, they carry a strong potential for abuse and recreational misuse. Even long-term use as prescribed by a doctor can be extremely dangerous or even deadly.
So how you do recognize prescription opioid abuse and who is at risk? And most importantly, how do we treat opioid abuse and dependence? Keep reading for answers.
What Is Prescription Opioid Abuse?
Misusing opioid drugs can happen in a variety of different ways. Most often, when a person abuses or misuses prescription opioids, he or she takes medicine that was prescribed for someone else, takes a higher dose than was prescribed, or takes a prescription opioid specifically for the purpose of getting high.2
Opioid abuse has become a serious epidemic, and to some people, it may not be clear why their loved ones begin abusing prescription opioids in the first place. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, there are four main reasons a person may choose to misuse prescription opioid drugs.3 They include:
- Recreational enjoyment – Some people just want to get high and leftover prescription opioids in their medicine cabinet might be the most convenient way to do it.
- Self-medication – A person may be experiencing pain and therefore thinks it is necessary to take someone else's prescription opioids or a larger dose of their own medication to relieve the pain.
- To relax or relieve tension – Some opioid misuse may also be a result of continued attempts to relieve symptoms of anxiety and stress.
- Compulsive habits – Some people may develop a dependence or an addiction to opioid drugs even just from taking the medicine as prescribed by a doctor. This can lead to compulsive habits of taking larger or more frequent doses of opioids.
Who Is Most at Risk in this Opioid Epidemic?
Of the nearly 92 million adults who used prescription opioids in 2015, an estimated 11.5 million adults misused them. Another 1.9 million people had an opioid use disorder tied to prescription opioids in 2015.4
Anyone could develop an addiction or dependence on opioid prescription drugs, but some individuals may be at increased risk.4,5 Those who are more likely to abuse prescription opioids include:
- Individuals with chronic pain, mental health problems, or previous substance use problems
- Individuals who have experienced suicidal thoughts and major depression
- Individuals who are unemployed, uninsured, and lower-income
- Individuals who are male
- Individuals who live in rural areas
- Medicaid patients
- Individuals who receive high daily doses of opioids
Where Do Prescription Opioid Abusers Get Their Drugs?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people who abuse prescription opioids get them from a relative for free.6 So even though you may think that giving a loved one an old prescription from your cabinet is helping, it may actually be harming them in the long run.
Other common ways people get prescription opioid medicines for non-medical use include6:
- From their primary care doctor
- Stealing prescription opioids from a friend or relative
- Buying prescription opioids from a friend or relative
- Buying prescription opioids from a drug dealer or other stranger
- Writing fake prescriptions, stealing prescription opioids from a clinic or pharmacy, or buying them on the internet
Preventing Prescription Opioid Abuse
If you have a friend or family member who is at risk for developing an addiction to prescription opioid drugs, you can help prevent it. Here are four specific ways you can do so:
- Do not let friends or family members take your old opioid prescriptions. Encourage them to go to the doctor or seek out alternative treatment for pain.
- Get rid of old prescriptions in your medicine cabinet. Protect the individuals in your household by getting rid of unused and expired prescription drugs. Your friends and family members won't be able to steal leftover medication from your medicine cabinet if they aren't there.
- Encourage your loved one to get a second opinion from another doctor. If a loved one's doctor prescribes an opioid medication and they believe there may be another treatment option or they don't feel comfortable taking the medicine, encourage them to seek out another doctor's opinion.
- Encourage your loved one to seek out psychiatric care. If your loved one is struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or some other mental health issue, encourage them to see a counselor or psychiatrist. This may help keep them from misusing prescription opioids in an attempt to cope or self-medicate.
The decision to abuse or misuse prescription opioid drugs is ultimately up to the person themselves, but these actions may help prevent it.
Treatment for Prescription Opioid Abuse
The best treatment for prescription opioid abuse and addiction is prescription drug detox followed by long-term rehab. Individuals who are addicted to opioids cannot simply stop abusing the drugs with sheer willpower. Opioid addiction changes the way the brain functions, making it extremely difficult to modify those negative behaviors and drug-abusing habits.
The first step in treating prescription opioid abuse is prescription drug detox at a medically supervised detox center. A medical detox program typically involves a team of medical and clinical professionals that create a detox program based on the client's needs and treat any uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms the client experiences during withdrawal.
The client's detox program should be modified and changed as he or she progresses through withdrawal until a sober state is achieved. This allows for the most comfortable and safe drug detox experience possible.
Once the client has completed detox, he or she should continue on with addiction treatment by enrolling in a long-term drug rehab program for prescription opioid abuse. Drug rehab will provide important life skills, support, and tools that are necessary to prevent relapse and maintain long-term sobriety.
If you or a loved one is addicted to prescription opioid medication, it's not too late to get help. Please contact Briarwood Detox Center today to learn more about our individualized prescription drug detox programs for men and women.

In the second meeting of Congress' manifesto committee, headed by Union Defence Minister A K Antony, Rahul Gandhi that said all worthwhile suggestions from the people should be incorporated and there is a need to look at the issues seriously. AK Antony, P Chidambaram, Sushil Kumar Shinde, Anand Sharma, Salman Khurshid, Sandeep Dikshit, Ajit Jogi, Renuka Chowdhary, P L Punia, Mohan Gopal, Jairam Ramesh and Digvijay Singh are members of the manifesto committee.
The panel had first met on August 9, which was merely an exchange of views on issues. Rahul Gandhi has been telling Congress leaders for quite some time that there is a need to involve people from grassroot in policy-making and inputs should also be taken from block Congress committees when the party finalises the manifesto. This was one of the highlights of his speech during Congress' 'Chintan Shivir' held in Jaipur in January this year after he was appointed as Congress Vice-President.
Rahul Gandhi in the meeting said that a system needs to be evolved so that the suggestions are collated subject-wise and then considered for inclusion in the manifesto. Union Minister Jairam Ramesh was asked to create a timetable on how to go ahead with the plan. In a rally in Alwar, Rajasthan, on October 23, Rahul Gandhi had launched the party website http://www.incmanifesto.in, which opens with a declaration by Congress.
It has so far received over 4,000 suggestions. The website says, "We invite every citizen of India to give us their ideas and suggestions for the 2014 Lok Sabha Election Manifesto of the Congress Party. The Congress is the first party to open up its national manifesto-building process to the general public. "In addition to this website, the Congress Party is holding direct public consultations across the country to empower the voice of those who do not have access to the Internet.
All ideas and suggestions you provide will be presented to the national leadership of the Congress and will be duly considered for inclusion in the manifesto. Your voice will build the Congress manifesto," it says. The party has thanked the people for sending in over a thousand suggestions since its launch. Universal free health care, safety of women, solution to the Naxal issue, freedom from open defecation and treating education differently from a product are some of the suggestions that people have made on the website in the last few days.
Rahul Gandhi has been saying that the Congress Party's manifesto should decided by the youth, women and common people.

In line with CIIM's policy to bring best foreign professors, the Digital Marketing specialisation for the Master Programmes has been designed in collaboration with the leading digital marketing professionals from abroad. Our Master students will qualify to receive the Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing issued by the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI) of Ireland www.digitalmarketinginstitute.com , the world's leading professional institute in the field.
Working closely with expert practitioners, the Institute promotes best current practice, theory and applied skills in digital marketing for individuals and organisations. The DMI's Professional Diploma is the most widely taught, industry-accredited qualification. We chose them as our partners to ensure that our students receive the most up-to-date information available during the training course.
The Digital Marketing specialisation is ideal for anyone involved in the planning, implementation and measurement of digital strategies. Combining a broadly based business degree – such as CIIM MSc in Management – with the specialised knowledge in such growth areas as digital marketing is an excellent career opportunity for a recent university graduate. To quote Ian Dodson, co-Founder and Director of DMI, "all of the current innovation and thinking in marketing is happening through the various digital channels. At a time of uncertainty in the global economy, now is the time to develop a skill- set in a field that is truly recession-proof."
The digital marketing skill set will open up new career opportunities for the postgraduate management students. There is an increasing demand in Cyprus and abroad for such professionals.
Here at CIIM, we have been continuously receiving internship and job requests from local companies for the positions in the area of digital marketing. The use of digital media is becoming a must for all businesses as well as government and non-government organisations. Companies are looking for professionals with the market relevant skills and knowledge.
While the job market in Cyprus remains depressed and in many professions the young graduates are struggling to get a job simply because companies prefer people with experience, the situation in the digital marketing job market is different. Companies begin to realise that young people today are naturally good at using social media and they also understand better the way young consumers make their choices. This partially compensates for the lack of work experience, and therefore, a young graduate – provided that she or he possesses a credible degree and the right skill set – gets an excellent chance to be hired for a position in digital marketing.
CIIM's MSc Management is a rigorous Master programme which equips participants with an international standard of expertise in management aspects. The core courses cover the four main management functions: managing people, managing operations, managing finances and managing sales/marketing. Several specialisation tracks are available, besides digital marketing, such as Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Insurance Management, HRM, Financial Management, and General Management. The programme is fully accredited by SEKAP and recognised by KYSATS. We are now accepting applications for the academic year starting in September 2016.
Dr Olga Kandinskaia is Director of the MSc Management Programme at the CIIM Business School

Additional reasons to remove wisdom teeth.
This page explains the following reasons why your dentist might determine that your wisdom teeth need to be removed.
- Chronic pain / Pressure / Headache.
- Poor tooth alignment or positioning.
- Cyst or tumor formation.
- Damage caused to neighboring teeth.
These issues are a subset of our master list of (valid) indications to remove third molars. Start there.
After you've finished reading this page, you may find its companion piece of interest: Is it always necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth? Monitoring vs Immediate removal.
Reasons to extract third molars -
A) Wisdom teeth that cause pain.
- The most common reason why people seek an evaluation of their wisdom teeth is because they've recently experienced a painful episode.
- Having pain is the most common third molar symptom, with 33% of patients reporting problems stating it. (Pogrel)
The discomfort may be nebulous in nature.
The type of pain or sense of pressure that the patient reports is often vague or indistinct.
- The discomfort is sometimes described as a radiating pain stemming from the region of the wisdom tooth (Koerner).
- In other cases, the tooth is suspected as the cause of headaches or neuralgia (intense intermittent pain associated with the path of a nerve). (Fragiskos)
▲ Section references - Pogrel, Koerner, Fragiskos
Causes of 3rd molar related pain, pressure and headaches.
Especially in the case where the symptoms experienced are vague, indistinct or distant, it will be the dentist's goal to discover a direct relationship between the discomfort and events taking place with the person's wisdom teeth. Possible circumstances include:
1) The tooth's eruption process.
The pain that a person has noticed with their wisdom tooth may be associated with the process of it coming in (its "eruption").
The discomfort may be intermittent or constant. Patients sometimes describe what they feel as a vague sense of pressure.
2) Pressure on adjacent nerves.
In rare cases, an impacted lower wisdom tooth may place pressure on the nearby inferior alveolar nerve (the major nerve of the lower jaw).
▲ Section references - Haq, Fragiskos
3) Pain of unknown origin.
- If there are no absolute contraindications for removal, these teeth are sometimes extracted. If so, the patient must understand that pain relief may not be achieved and ultimately the procedure they endured was unnecessary.
- In other cases, the patient and dentist may determine that the best plan of action involves the implementation of palliative treatment (possibly including the use of a prescription pain reliever) and then further monitoring until a diagnosis can finally be made.
This second approach can be a good one. Indistinct symptoms involving pain, pressure sensation or headaches are sometimes ultimately attributed to non-tooth conditions.
▲ Section references - Koerner
4) Common pathologies.
Once investigated, what a person has experienced can often be directly attributed to common wisdom tooth-related issues and pathologies. This could include most any of the conditions or situations discussed further below on this page, or the following items that we discuss elsewhere.
- Common causes of pain are an infection around the tooth, or trauma to the layer of skin (gum flap) that lies over it.
- Other common issues may involve just the wisdom tooth itself, or possibly the adjacent 2nd molar too. These can include pain as a consequence of tooth decay, gum disease or root resorption.
B) Poorly positioned wisdom teeth.
Some wisdom teeth manage to erupt but nevertheless have a positioning that causes, or has the potential to cause, problems. For example:
Trauma to both flap and cheek tissue in the area of a 3rd molar.
a) Crooked teeth.
b) High gums or gum flaps.
This may cause the tissue to become chronically inflamed (reddened, sore and swollen, like the "flap" tissue in our picture).
In some cases, the excess tissue can be successfully trimmed away. In others, it may tend to grow back over time. (It depends on the tooth to jawbone relationship that exists.) If your dentist determines that the latter is the likely outcome for your situation, then the tooth will need to be extracted.
c) Supererupted third molars.
Wisdom teeth that don't have an opposing tooth to bite against often supererupt (poke through the gum tissue further than normal).
These teeth may cause tissue irritation or trauma. Their abnormal positioning may interfere with jaw movements, or create traps between teeth where food and debris tend to accumulate. Teeth having this problem should be extracted.
d) Teeth that are hard to clean.
Some wisdom teeth occupy a position that makes them very difficult to brush and floss. If so, both they and their neighboring tooth are placed at increased risk for complications with tooth decay and gum disease. And for that reason, they should be removed before problems develop.
C) Cysts and tumors.
While not an especially common occurrence, cysts or tumors can arise from the retained developmental tissues associated with an impacted wisdom tooth.
It is the size of the tissues that surround this tooth that suggest cyst formation.
Identification and treatment.
A tooth's associated pathology is most often discovered via x-ray examination. Once identified, the tooth should be removed and its cyst or tumor evaluated histologically (microscopic evaluation) by a pathologist for identification.
Monitoring impacted wisdom teeth.
Misdirected eruption can trigger the resorption of adjacent teeth.
D) Root resorption of neighboring teeth.
When they fall out, they look as though they don't have a root. That's because as the permanent tooth underneath erupted, its presence caused the baby tooth's root to resorb (dissolve away).

I've added a patch which also takes the keylens property into account.
Thanks guys. I will review this shortly and commit for the upcoming 3.6 release.
Thanks guys. Could anyone code up a few simple test cases for TestSimpleXMLCollection?
Patched version of Dennis contains a small error while truncating value :
// truncate value to max key length value = value.substring(0, Math.min(value.length() -1, PropertyElements.get(nodeName.toLowerCase()).intValue()));
Javados for method substring say this :
The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1
According to Java doc, the correct truncation is
value = value.substring(0, Math.min(value.length(), PropertyElements.get(nodeName.toLowerCase()).intValue()));
I can't provide a patch for this as I'm working on another problem regardings the fields in SimpleXMLDocument.
Added the possibility to specify metakey in attribute (like fields) : xmlcollection-metakeys-with-attribute.patch
Be careful, I think this patch contains :
- correction for truncation of meta value (just mentioned before)
- correction for DOCTYPE bug (http://terrier.org/issues/browse/TR-220)
The default values for indexer.meta.forward.keys and indexer.meta.forward.keylens (empty strings) in SimpleXMLCollection.initialiseTags() are split into a String[] with 1 element, and an empty String in Integer.parseInt produces a NumberFormatException.
All JUnit tests in TestSimpleXMLCollection fail.
There must be a different default value or a check to detect a empty String.
The attached patch uses the DocIdLocation as default key, and "20" as default key length.
Applied patches:
Committed to core version 3738.
Added test case to TestSimpleXMLCollection, passes.
Committed to core version 3739.

A look back on the year 2012
1012 is drawing to a close rapidly and that has made me thought that I might ask you to choose an event from among the many stories that have occurred this year. Then I've wondered which one I would pick myself and the death of Emilio Aragón, the clown 'Miliki' , has first sprung to my mind. 'How sad!' I've thought. 'How can I only recall a sad piece of news?' But then I've realized that the memories his death has brought are full of joy and happiness because those were the feelings he and his circus family aroused whenever they asked us, Spanish children, 'How are "ustedes"?'
That funny face brought the best in us when he with Gaby and Fofó taught children to sing and laugh in unison. At that time we did not have computers, Playstations or XBoxes. There were only two channels on Spanish TV, which still broadcast in black and white when they began work on "The Great Circus of TVE" program. We grew up laughing at their prodigious humour sketches and singing "Hello Don Pepito", "Susanita has a mouse" and many other songs. We, people in our 40's or 50's now, will never forget those songs and perhaps we will or will have already passed them on to new generations of Spanish children.
Now this is your Christmas homework:

John Delaney to unveil plaque as Ballingarry AFC celebrate Quality Mark
FAI chairman John Delaney will present the Q-Mark award
THIS Saturday will be a red-letter day for the Ballingarry Soccer Club when FAI chief John Delaney will unveil the club's FAI Club Mark plaque.
The club is extremely proud to have achieved this award, club secretary James Clancy said in advance of Saturday's ceremony. "We are the first club in the Limerick Desmond League and only the twelfth in Ireland to be awarded the FAI Club Mark Entry Level," he explained.
"As a grassroots club we aim to improve standards both on and off the field and with this award we are demonstrating our commitment to having proper governance and structures in place," he added.
Mr Clancy paid tribute to those who had worked to achieve the Quality Mark under the guidance of the FAI's Vincent Foley and our local FAI Football Development Officer Barry McGann. And he was confident that achieving Club Mark status would help lead to the improvement of standards in the club, Mr Clancy .
"While on-the-field development is important, it is equally as important to ensure the correct structures are in place behind the scenes and we fee" he continued.
The Club Mark qualification, he explained is based on best practice in the governance, management and of a club.
"Our club is run by volunteers who play an invaluable role in the development of football in our community.
"We, as a club are committed to ensuring that all our coaches and volunteers have the knowledge to promote football for all and develop our players," Mr Clancy said.
The ceremony takes place at Ballingarry AFC grounds at 2pm this Saturday.
Members of the public are welcome and representatives from the leagues in which the club is involved will also attend.

This rare convergence will change the rest of your life.
On January 31st, there will be a super blood blue moon and lunar eclipse in the heart-centered sign of Leo. During this time, the world will shift and forever there will be a "before and after" that we will all remember for years to come, if not for the rest of our lives.
Whether or not you follow astrology, this event will affect all the zodiac signs and even your horoscope. Because there is no over-exaggerating the significance of this lunar event; in fact, the last time we experienced such an occurrence was over 150 years ago!
The reason that this is such a unique and awe-inspiring event is because we have several separate events all colliding on the same day and enhancing the energy of everything that is involved.
What is a super blue blood moon?
A super moon is when the moon is 30 percent closer to earth, making it seem larger, brighter and overall more luminous. Especially noteworthy about this one is that it's the finale of a trilogy of three that we saw begin back in 2017.
Three is the number of the divine — the holy trinity which represents mind, body and spirit. We often see this number come up in terms to divine partnerships and soulmates as well.
A blood moon is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon creating a reddish appearance and glow; by themselves they also are rare as we haven't experienced one since 2014.
Now, creating even more significance around this is that it's also a blue moon, meaning that it's the second full moon within the same calendar month. 2018 isn't playing around.
We began the year with a super full moon and since then we have traversed the mountains of Capricorn, felt the depths of the new moon on January 16th which initiated us into Eclipse Season, and now we have this moon on the 31st, which honestly couldn't get any bigger and more profound than it already is.
The question we have to ask ourselves is: What is trying to get our attention in our lives? What aspect, option or avenue is standing in front of us jumping up and down saying, "Look at me, look at me"?
Perhaps we haven't wanted to look. Maybe we thought it wasn't what we should be looking at or maybe we just haven't been ready to look at it. But regardless of what we've been doing, there is some aspect of our lives that the universe doesn't want us to miss out on.
This moon is the big show-stopper this month, wanting to call our attention and focus toward the next chapter of our lives.
Eclipses run in cycles and this one is part of what began for us back in August of 2017 with the total solar eclipse. Since then, we've been asked to focus on something in particular in our lives.
We might have had a career move, a big relationship question, an obstacle, or maybe it was a life change in a different direction. But regardless, we've all been working on something during these part six months, and now we are going to see the greater meaning behind what we've been working on.
Eclipses are the drama queens of astrology but rightly so. Things come in hot and heavy during these times with big sweeping changes or the moments that happen instantaneously, yet end up shaping the next twenty years of our lives.
During this time, what we've been consciously or unconsciously learning about or investing in will come to a head. If it's something like a job or relationship that is meant to stay with us into this next phase, then it will be very clear.
We will receive news of promotions, commitments, or just an intense affirmation in a very obvious way. But if it's not, the likewise is true.
This means that things have a way of falling apart around eclipses. We unexpectedly have to transfer jobs, move somewhere else, or a relationship seems to have hit a dead-end. Sometimes one of the most difficult things we can do is let something go that is trying to leave.
Not everything or even everyone is meant to stay in our lives long-term. We are not meant to stay in the same place forever in our lives; instead, we are meant to grow, to open up, and to let ourselves be transformed by what we experience.
This is just the beginning of an incredible year that we have ahead of us. It won't have the same difficult lessons that 2017 saw us wracking our brains over, but that doesn't mean that it will be an easy ride.
However, the difference is that whatever this year asks of us, we already have well within our power to do.
If we need to be fearless in pursuing a dream or to make a big step in our relationships, that courage is there; we just have to embrace it. If we feel uncertain if a job or a friendship has overstayed its welcome, it's up to us to get in touch with our intuition and to make the choice to follow what we know is right.
There is no way to prepare for what this super blue blood moon has in store. The best bet is that we have to honestly just make the choice to go with the flow and pay attention to what is trying to leave but also what is trying to come in and begin as well.
We have to decide to be open to seeing where the universe leads, knowing that ultimately everything that happens will serve some greater purpose.
And we have to believe the bad times are behind us, and that maybe the universe really does conspire to bring people together, to create hope from ashes, and to deliver not a happy ending but a truly happy beginning.

WSU links drizzle out on a Tuesday
Not a lot in the way of links this morning. Now rain, that we've got a lot of. Piles of snow one morning, ice all afternoon and rain the next day. How fun. Anyhow, read on for the few links we do have and a couple of thoughts.
• We start with football, despite it being the early part of January. There's the schedule stuff, with our short (second item) and a piece from the Dallas Morning News. Seems SMU had a home-and-home scheduled with Missouri but that was canceled. Viola, the Cougars have two games, including a winnable home game this fall. Elsewhere on the football front, junior college tight end Peter Tuitupou finally sent in his paperwork – let me tell you, the delay was causing some consternation in the coaches' offices the past couple weeks – and will be on campus next week, starting classes. If, of course, there isn't another foot of snow and classes are canceled for a while. ... By the way, former Idaho coach Nick Holt, who left the Inland Northwest in such a strange way a couple years ago, is UW new defensive coordinator. The Sept. 12 game, when the Huskies host Idaho, should be a little more interesting now.
• OK, on to basketball. Watched practice yesterday and I can tell you there is no end to the lengths WSU is going to solve its offensive woes. In his three years as a head coach, Tony Bennett has already shown a willingness to adapt to his talent, a trait that should serve the team well the next couple weeks. Don't expect the Cougars to stand still, not in the way they attack a defense or in the players who come off the bench. This week is a great opportunity for a Mike Harthun or Abe Lodwick or the like to show he can help on the offensive end, because, if guard at all in practice, it will lead to playing time. ... One other basketball related item. This video clip caught my eye late last night. Some Husky fans are outraged by the incident between Caleb Forrest and Darnell Gant. Let me know what you think. (For some comment, check here.) I can tell you I didn't see this live. When it happened I was in a spot near the court where it was out of my view. Watching the video last night was the first time I knew there was any contact before the technicals. It doesn't seem like too big a deal, but who knows? Anyhow, let me know your thoughts.
• That's it for now. We'll be back this afternoon with the unedited version of our story for tomorrow, which will cover the surprising resurgence of Cal and Stanford. Till then ...

Jávea, Costa BlancaMarch 20, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
The drive to our next destination, Jávea, took us along the coast road, past busy Alicante and even bigger and busier Benidorm, and through the centre of pretty Altea before the road became steeper and twisty as we began to climb higher before turning off and heading down to Camping El Naranjal.
Jávea is a small town, set in a beautiful bay, that has resisted the high-rise developments. Divided into three areas; the old town, the marina and the beach, and surrounded by the mountains of the Montgó Natural Park, it is a place that we quickly felt at home in.
Our campsite, once an orange grove and still surrounded by them, was small and friendly with the beach area and most other things just a 5 minute walk away. The old town, with its great market, narrow streets and inviting restaurants and shops, and the marina, were further away but made for a good walk which was rewarded by a cool drink and tapas overlooking the bay.
With the bike we went to the most eastern tip at Cabo de la Nao where, on a clear day you can see Ibiza, but not the day we were there, though the dramatic cliffs and indented coves below made up for it. On another trip, we took the narrow, twisty scenic road over to Denia, a major passenger port for the nearby Baleric islands. There were some very fancy boats in the marina there, which is much larger than the one in Jávea, but the old town is very attractive to wander around with lots of interesting restaurants set in pretty squares. On the way back, we stopped halfway at the lighthouse for a fantastic, panoramic view of Javeá and the bay.
Our visit also gave us the opportunity to meet up with friends Ray and Mel who have made Jávea their home after many years in Asia. Though we hadn't seen each other for a long time, it did not feel like that at all as we caught up on news and enjoyed each others company, as well as Mel's paella!
As we enjoyed a sundowner, watching Montgó mountain change colour in the evening sun and with the orange blossom fragrance filling the air, we wished we could stay longer but it wasn't possible on this occasion. But that was OK because we will definitely be back.Read more

Gregg Jarrett, Sara Carter and Sebastian Gorka reacted to the release of the explosive and damning FISA memo.
Sara Carter revealed that her sources have told her that the best is yet to come, as the FISA Memo is only "10% of of what is coming", stating that the investigation is now in reverse, as the entire Russiagate lie unravels at a rapid pace.
Gregg Jarrett noted that his sources told him Rod Rosenstein threatened the House Intelligence Committee members three weeks ago not to release the memo or else he would "subpoena their texts and messages."
"I can tell you a congressional source tells me that Rod Rosenstein in a meeting three weeks ago threatened Chairman Nunes and members of Congress he was going to subpoena their texts and messages because he was tired of dealing with the intel committee. That's threats and intimidation."

2537 N. Kedzie Blvd., Chicago, Illinois 60647, United States
Like a stylish friend's home
Laid-back creative types
Natural wines and craft cocktails
Super fresh, farm-to-table
Tell us about your first impressions when you arrived.
Lula Café feels a bit like home—if your home is artfully distressed, with gramophone speakers on the walls, warm pendant lights, and succulents on tabletops. The long bar is prime people watching, while the limited patio is coveted real estate during alfresco season.
What was the crowd like?
Neighborhood regulars—writers, artists, restaurant industry types—fill Lula, a pioneer for seasonal and local cuisine in Chicago. Brunch is a contact sport, with long waits for tables, but it's worth it.
What should we be drinking?
Creative cocktails ($9-$12) are ever changing thanks to the seasonally driven focus. A recent drink? The "Love On Delivery," with rum, banane du bresil, tahini, and oat milk. (We did say they were creative.) Wines, too, are interesting, with an eye toward small-production natural wines like Maison Lapierre's Raisins Gaulois out of Beaujolais.
Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss.
Chef-owner Jason Hammel has turned Lula into a Chicago mainstay with a Monday farm dinner (four courses for only $45 per person) and a fantastic brunch. The Royale is the now-famous seasonal breakfast sandwich—Hammel has been iterating on it for over a decade, and has never repeated a recipe. Kick off brunch by splitting the house pastries—like a sourdough doughnut with squash pastry creme and pear and cranberry coffee cake—before moving on to mains. The brioche French toast arrives drenched in a cardamom anglaise cream, while the pork sweet potato hash comes with charred cabbage and pear agrodolce. Clever, delicious.
And how did the front-of-house folks treat you?
You don't work at Lula if you don't care about food. Staff is knowledgeable and believes in the philosophy of good eating.
What's the real-real on why we're coming here?
Lula's Monday Farm Dinners are the stuff of legend, but brunch comes a close second. Ease into your weekend with a relaxed, civilized meal; order that second glass of rosé while you're at it.

Yes it is the "W" word
Why do I recommend you bring water to dance class OR drink extra water after a Spinal Touch Session or Massage treatment OR suggest that your body (usually the skin) is telling me you're not hydrated enough?
Keeping hydrated is a major keynote in getting your body to give you it's best!
Your Body needs regular watering just like the garden and it needs some extra before and during your dance and health session time. Here is why…
- Drinking water before you dance, work out (and yes, a massage is considered a work out for your muscles) is going to give your body more umph! Water helps to convert your food into energy and helps your body to absorb the nutrients from the food you eat. It also carries the nutrients and Oxygen to your cells. So more water = more energy!
- Face it, when you workout, move about and dance, you sweat (ok, perspire) … and that means that your body is experiencing water loss which needs to be replaced. Water also helps to keep your body temperature regulated (ie. keeps the red faced flush on the cooler side)
- If you're dancing hard and fast you are likely breathing hard and fast and if you're not hydrated you can get that yucky dry mouthed sticky feeling when you breath…but with enough water on board the Oxygen is moistened creating easier breathing.
- As you are moving and shimmying and bending and twisting in your dance or your therapist is doing the bending and twisting for you, that water already in your system is protecting and cushioning your vital organs AND is helping to cushion your joints…perhaps helping you in your day to day activities to bend your knees a little deeper, tone down the joint noise as you go up stairs, letting your shoulder reach further overhead…
- As you undulate your torso in dance or receive an abdominal massge you are doing wonders for your internal organs by giving them (especially the colon) a really good gentle session … water helps the process along by helping to remove the wastes.
- Did you know that your body is comprised of large amounts of water? All of those parts that help you move. The bones that keep your frame upright are 22 % water, those beautiful muscles that move the bones are comprised of 75% water, the blood pulsing through your veins is 83% water and that thoughtful brain of yours is comprised of 75% water
- And your skin…a whole month of articles could be written about how vital water is to the healthy appearance of your skin, nails and hair!

VMware Releases Tools and Acquires Dunes Technologies
VMware has released most of its VMware tools as Open Source. The manufacturer of the popular virtualization software announced this move at the VMworld Conference in San Francisco.
The VMware Tools are software components that run on a guest system within the virtualization solution. According to the manufacturer, the tools boost system performance and simplify management of virtual machines running on VMware.
Distributors will now be able to integrate the free VMware technology with the free Linux operating system under the name of Open Virtual Machine (VM) Tools. Other Open Source virtualization projects can use the technology under GPLv2 and compatible licenses. According to Stephen Herrod, Vice President for Technological Development with VMware, the company hopes to serve a wider range of guest operating systems and additional virtual applications by taking this step.
VMware is currently working with Linux distributors Novell, Red Hat and Ubuntu on integrating VMware Tools directly with the installation routines for the Linux operating system. According to Novell manager Holger Dyroff, Open VM Tools will become part of the Suse Linux Enterprise Platform, and Red Hat's Vice President Scott Crenshaw was delighted with the greater choice of virtualization software for Linux users. Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of the Ubuntu operating system, announced the inclusion of VMware Tools with future Ubuntu versions: "Open VM Tools give us the ability to offer users of the Ubuntu operating system a turnkey solution."
The Open VM Tools source code is available on the Open Source portal, Sourceforge. The vendor's Virtual Machine Interface (VMI) has been Open Source for awhile now, and became part of the Linux kernel in March 2007.
And there was more news from the VMworld Conference: VMware is purchasing Swiss virtualization solution supplier Dunes Technologies and will be adding the Dunes management software for virtual environments to its own portfolio in future. Additionally, Dunes technology now gives VMware a solution capable of managing virtual machines throughout their lifecycle. Financial details on the acquisition were not disclosed.

Fur flies at Wildwood Crest Borough Commission meeting.
I've placed the audio of the Borough Commission's February 18, 2015 meeting on-line
. It's a big file, so it may take some time to download.
I've listened to the tape and have listed below the times (MM:SS) where some of the more interesting comments begin.
07:18 Open floor to public comment
07:25 Michael Hawthorne speaks.
07:53 Hawthorne "Uncovered . . . many serious crimes . . . all fell on deaf ears."
08:30 Hawthorne "I knew I was a dead man . . . my career was over."
09:00 Hawthorne "So called Brady letter is a crime in itself [I received it] because I reported that my superiors were stealing."
09:55 Hawthorne "I got to the prosecutor's office and somebody calls here and warns the chief . . . for the next two months I was harassed . . ."
10:12 Hawthorne "Went to Solicitor Corino . . . told her that whistleblower rights were being violated, nothing."
10:19 Borough Solicitor Doreen Corino interrupts--argument between Corino and Hawthorne runs until 12:37
12:41 Corino "I'm going to caution you about one other thing . . [about] Judge Johnson's decision. Certain things that you are saying you may be saying in violation of his order . . . that nothing is to be disclosed to the public regarding certain aspects of this case . . ."
13:41 Corino "There's a whole lot in this Borough that I wish would come out. Believe me, more than most of you sitting in here would think."
14:32 Hawthorne "Let me tell you about settlement agreements. What they do is they suspend you without pay and hold your pay hostage until you sign it. That's a settlement agreement in this town."
15:33 Hawthorne "The person who deserves a 'Brady Letter' is Prosecutor Taylor himself for running a cover-up instead of an investigation."
15:48 Hawthorne "Mayor Groon had the discretion to suspend me with pay and allow me to fight the charges. It's dirty pool."
22:50 Hawthorne "So you bring in a friend of the Chief's [to conduct investigation]. Very smart."
23:40 Hawthorne "Here's the deal I'm make you . . . I will be at every meeting . . . for the rest of your political careers because I want you to look at me every time . . . you ended my career, needlessly."
23:51 Corino "Mike, you ended your own career. Stop blaming everyone else and accept responsibility for what you did."
24:16 Corino "When Judge Johnson orders that information, particularly the charges, can be released to the public I will be happy to tell the people. I'm not at liberty to do it tonight, and you know that. If you want to violate his order, you can, but I'm an officer of the court."
24:42 Hawthorne "I'm not sure there is a court order."
24:45 Corino "Well, I'm aware that there's a court order and I'm sure Michelle Douglass is aware that the judge issued a ruling that day."
24:52 Michelle Douglass: "I'm not aware of a court order but I'm aware that the judge made a ruling."
29:32 Corino "You calling me a liar? Then I'm telling you what--you're a liar."
30:00 Hawthorne "Mayor . . . you hit the iceberg, the ship is sinking, I'm seeing employees jumping off right and left. All three administrators from the police department are gone. What's going on?
31:10 Hawthorne "the thousands of prints I found on the printer for his personal business."
31:20 Corino "Mr. Hawthorne, I am objecting on the record, you just violated Judge Johnson's ruling and I cannot and I will not involve this Board in a violation of a court ruling.
32:28 Hawthorne "I was thrown to the wolves . . . they harassed the hell out of me. I got locked out of my office, locked out of my e-mail . . . I'm riding around town as a lieutenant of the police with nothing to do."
36:26 Hawthorne "I drank the Kool-Aid from the man named DePaul."
37:10 Diana Gant Brunell speaks.
43:47 Corino "I don't control this meeting, Diane!"
45:21 Hawthorne "Mayor . . . I truly believe that this snowballed . . . because of your legal counsel. That is your biggest problem, right there.
45:44 Hawthorne "I think you [referring to Corino] shared it with the accused.
45:50 Corino "I take offense to that."
45:54 Hawthorne "I take offense to you."
45:47 Corino "I probably now will be pursing an action . . . for that comment alone."
48:12 Tom Hunt speaks.
50:15 Hunt "When you have a bully in the room, which was Tom DePaul . . . it is very very hard to stand up to that bully because the bully will keep punching you in the face . . ."

In a recent story (May, 2010), SEC Chairman Admits: We're Outgunned By Market Supercomputers, a luddite might find reason to fear big brother. But in fact a mystery remains from the so-called "Fat Finger Incident" on May 6, 2010. The incident, such that it was, trigger "a total drop of 9.16 percent from the previous day's close".
I'm sure conspiracy theories will abound as to the reason for this - including the demise of certain individuals. More to the point of this article, it cannot be sufficiently underestimated the problems the stock market has created.
It has been reported that because modern stock trading is essential completely electronic --- that dealers look to have their computers as close to the trading computers as possible. The idea is to be able to process orders microseconds quicker than the competition.
In fact it has also been reported that traders are "snipping" as the market moves. That is, "snipping" makes a few cents, if not hundreds of a cent as the market (or a particular stock) moves in a direction. It has even been suggested that dealers are making these "few cents" on their own client's "trades". It has even been suggested that these dealers, having prior knowledge of the limits of their clients, are pushing the pricing to the limit.
This last scenario, as suggested, means the buyer is actually paying more than they would have had the closing price not been known to the dealer.
If this is true, then it appears the dealers are undermining the confidence of their own business.

Thankfully there is an increasing awareness of the burden of dementia, although there is a lively debate about the merits or otherwise of early diagnosis (see recent BMJ articles and comments-although you have to be a BMA member or use library access to see it). I'm of the opinion that each case should be judged on it's merits, and that a blanket approach of assuming everyone would like to be informed is taking the non paternalistic approach of medicine too far.
For Christians and Christian churches there is a particular challenge; not to be so enamoured with the vibrancy of youth that ageing members, and those with dementia, are neglected. I was at a meeting in Bedford yesterday of the local support group for Pilgrims Homes. One particular comment from Brian Edwards the retired pastor of Hook Evangelical Church, really struck me. He wondered if churches which employed a youth pastor might also include within the remit, a responsibility to encourage the your people of the church to visit the elderly and generally show interest in them-perhaps even attending and taking services at the care homes where some of the older folk with dementia might be living.
I have been particularly struck by a verse form Proverbs 31.8
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
In his excellent book, Is faith a delusion, Professor Andrew Sims the former President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, notes that as a young Christian he was motivated to go into psychiatry on the back of that verse. It seems to me especially appropriate as we think of those (and their) carers sliding into dementia, that we see this as a particular responsibility, particularly to speak up for them and indeed defend them. Louise Mores on behalf of Pilgrims homes has written an excellent introduction to the subject in her book, Could it be dementia? There are particular aspects of dementia which are a challenge for the Christian believer and she addresses these well. She also reminds us of great resources in the Scriptures, the fellowship of the church, and the deep seated memories of ageing Christians who at times can pray lucidly and sing along to some of the great hymns of the faith. All the more reason to keep singing some of those great historic hymns, in addition to the wonderful contemporary hymns of Getty and Townsend, so that the words and their associated truth get into our marrow.

The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday asked the FBI to turn over memos written by former bureau Director James Comey as part of its ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in November's presidential election.
Committee Chairman U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, R-North Carolina, and Vice Chairman U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, sent a letter Wednesday asking Comey to testify before the committee in both open and closed sessions.
A separate letter, addressed to acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, sought notes or memos written by Comey about conversations he had with senior White House and Department of Justice officials related to the Russia investigation.

In a memo written in February, Comey wrote that Trump asked him during a one-on-one meeting to stop investigating former national security adviser Michael Flynn, The Times reported.
Flynn was forced to resign one day before the conversation between Comey and Trump, after it was revealed that Flynn lied to Vice President Mike Pence about connections he had with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

"I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," the New York Times reported Trump said, citing the Comey memo. "He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go."
House Oversight Committee Chairman U.S. Sen. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, on Wednesday said the committee planned to invite Comey to testify during a public hearing next week. The hearing is expected to looking specifically at Trump's influence on the investigation into Trump, his allies and their connections to Russia.

Chaffetz, in his role as committee chairman, on Tuesday requested any "memoranda, notes, summaries and records referring or relating to any communications between Comey and the president."
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee also planned to ask Comey to testify, The Hill reported.
Authorities said Russia meddled in November's election to benefit Trump. The FBI is investigating to determine whether Trump or his associates colluded with Russia, although no evidence to support the allegation has surfaced.

What is a brand and why is it important?
Why do you think you need a brand?
First, let's see what a brand is andfor which it is needed. The brand is the uniqueness of this company, which has found a response in the consumer's head, and not how the creators, managers and designers present or see the enterprise.
It is an association that is always heard by people. It judges the company, the quality of its product or service. A huge role in the presentation of the product and the formation of the idea of the brand is played by professional
If a man is awakened in the middle of the night and asked to name the 5 best cars, his answer will contain 5 trend names. This is what you need to strive for when creating a unique company.
But how do you know what a person thinks about when he looks at the work of your work? You just need to ask - to conduct market research:
1. Identify the target audience (these are your direct consumers who they are, their age, material and marital status, their hobbies and preferences).
2. Learn about what your customers think.
3.They can be interested.
4. How they relate to your company and what is expected of you.
After that, you can create a brand,head of your audience, then how do you want to see the perception of your company. Present and highlight the uniqueness of their products. A separate emphasis on quality and additional services.
And now, combining the needs and desirescustomers with your capabilities, principles, features and imagination of the designer, we get the uniqueness of the company or brand. Also, you should think over the details:
- form style
- logo
- emblem
presentation materials
-promotional materials
-business cards, banners, flyers
-firm font and documentation
Advertising in the media, transport and the Internet, etc.
The most important thing is that everything should be in one style andconveyed to the consumers the very essence of your company, that zest and you can say "charisma" of your project. A bright individuality, multiplied by quality and reliability, is a hallmark of any self-respecting enterprise.
Brand - virtual or imaginary and illusory benefits and features that the client receives when acquiring the goods. And it is they who force us to be fans of a certain brand.
So why is the brand needed and important?
First, this is what distinguishes this company from its competitors.
What attracts consumers, settles in their minds and consciousness. And finally, for the fact that people are willing to give up money, just for the sake of owning this brand.
A company needs a distinctive sign, its own chip, so as not to disappear in the abyss of competitors to swim and stay afloat for many, many years to come.

MISSION BEND, Texas (KTRK) -- Vandalism in Fort Bend County has law enforcement there on alert.
"I was shocked, I was a little concerned," said Fort Bend Co. Pct. 3 Constable Wayne Thompson when he saw a picture of a white wall covered with what appeared to be gang graffiti.
He says it popped up overnight at a busy intersection in Mission Bend.
"It's alarming when you see something like this especially in an area where we have never seen it before," Thompson said.
In large black writing, "SUR 13" was spray painted on a wall at an Exxon gas station at Bissonnet and Gaines Rd.
Thompson says "SUR 13" stands for the Surenos 13 gang.
"They often times refer to themselves as the foot soldiers of the Mexican Mafia," he said.
The property owner has since covered the graffiti in black paint, but under it deputies say there is another gang tagging.
"You can see the 'S' starts here, and then the 'W' comes here like this, and then the 'C' comes here and then goes back up."
Deputy Mike Ochoa says that SWC is the Southwest Cholo's gang.
He drove ABC13 to another piece of private property at Dora and Mckaskle, also defaced in a tagging battle.
Thompson says it may only look like vandalism to a passerby, but to these gangs marking their turf is nothing small.
"Well at some point it boils over from paintings and small things into gang violence and shoot out and fights, which we haven't seen," he said.
He told Eyewitness News they don't have a gang problem, but do want to keep gang activity like tagging out of their area.
If you see any graffiti, they ask you to report it immediately.

Why does wet weather stuff the trams up?
I can understand some people who aren't under shelter, but do you have to wait until you almost get on board before you attempt to close it? Or try to open it when you're not even out the door? One drop of water will not hurt you!
12 comments:
Essentially though, it is the slower and more congested traffic. Umbrellas are a fairly recent problem and I don't know why suddenly no one wants to get a single droplet of water on their hair. My score at trapping an umbrella in a door is sadly zero but I will keep trying.ReplyDelete

What about the tracks being completely underwater and not being able to see the tracks? Saw a tram drive right through it yesterday but surely it's risky?ReplyDelete
Andrew, they are a challenging trophy that will no doubt make much noise when you catch one.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, indeed it is. The rules state that trams should not proceed through water deeper than 10cm as it, like some Mexican food, can cause all sorts of dramas to the undercarriage (for the record, I love Mexican food). However, measuring 10cm can be a challenging task when driving a tram. Any decent tram driver will be able to tell you where the regular flood areas are. Posting these up at the depot wouldn't be such a bad idea.
- AnonymousSeptember 29, 2011 at 4:31 AM
Dear MTD,ReplyDelete
Love this blog - I find it very interesting as someone who is semi-interested in becoming a tram driver. I was wondering if you would mind answering a few questions for me:
Do you look forward to going into work, or does it get really boring?
What's your favourite and least favourite route to drive and why?
Do you do the same route back and forwards all day or change around?
What's your favourite and least favourite tram to drive and why?
Thanks and keep up the good work:)
Well jeez I always figured wet weather stuffed up trams because it stuffs up everything. Cars, trams, trains, people all have to be extra careful when it rains. Ever got caught in the rain in heels? You'd fall behind schedule too.ReplyDelete
Nonetheless, a million thank yous to MTD for his patience and for explaining things so perfectly. I have the good fortune to live next to a depot (I wonder if I could work there, it would be hang out with trams) but never noticed the sand-trucks. Quite cool :)
Lightning blew a hole in the roof of one of our trams on Collins St the other evening. That tends to cause problems for a tram—as it probably would any other vehicle in that circumstance.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, I can't say I look forward to working every day as it does get pretty boring.ReplyDelete
I can't tell you which is my fav or worst route as I'm a little private when it comes to that. Same deal with the trams I drive. I doubt my employer would be happy if they knew who I was.
Every depot has more than 1 route and there is some variety. But it's no buffet.
R, it makes common sense about the weather, but I can understand people getting pissed waiting in the rain for a late tram. Goes both ways. Thank you for the compliments.ReplyDelete
Alex Peters, yes I heard about that one. It happens about once a year, but the chances of being electrocuted on a tram are up there with being struck by said lightning. Cars have the luxury of tyres breaking the circuit.

A couple weeks ago I had a sudden trip with my mom and sister at Ala Moana Shopping Center and unexpectantly spent a lot of money...
First stop, M.A.C:
- Love Nectar Lustreglass: Light pinky-peach with a subtle shimmery pearl finish. Lustreglasses have a sheer-to-medium pigmentation so they're great to lay over other lip products and still be able to see the color underneath it. It has a small brush applicator which makes it easy to get the corners of the mouth. The texture is comfortable to wear, isn't sticky, and has a nice wear time.
- Lust Lipglass: Medium beige-pink, cream finish. Lipglasses have much more of a sticky texture which some people find uncomfortable to wear but that's what keeps the gloss lasting long on the lips. It also come with a doe-foot applicator instead of a brush which applies more color than the Lustreglasses.
- Fix +: M.A.C recently came out with a Sized To Go Collection which consists of travel size versions of some of their skincare products. It's permanent in their line but I believe you can only purchase them online, at freestanding and Pro stores. I couldn't help but buy the mini Fix +, it's super cute! I like using this product after finishing my makeup to help "gel" the products together so it doesn't just sit on top of the skin. It's especially great to spray over powder foundation or finishing powders to take away the matte finish and leave your skin looking naturally dewy.
- Lashes: I picked up another pair of #3 Lashes, which are one of my favorites, and also bought a pair of #4s. I bought it to layer with #3 and to add a little volume and thickness to them.
Next stop was Sephora and Benefit had 2 reps by their display, offering makeup and skincare GWPs (gift with purchase). For the makeup I bought 2 Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners which I've heard great things about. Easy to blend with a brush or your fingers, you can apply a sheer layer or build up the intensity. They're not waterproof but lasts really well on the eyes over a primer. The shades I bought were:
- Birthday Suit: shimmery light sandy-beige
- Skinny Jeans: shimmery medium pewter-grey
The makeup GWP I got was a pink and purple travel bag. The mirror opens up as a stand and the 2 bags are attached by velcros.
My mom actually bought the skincare items but she let me keep the GWP that came with it. It's a b.right! Tried & True Skincare Teaser set that you can actually purchase on the Benefit site for a limited time. Products include:
- Triple Performing Facial Emulsion Oil-Free SPF 15 PA++: Lightweight day-time moisturizer
- Foamingly Clean Facial Wash: One-step, gentle cleanser for all skin types
- It's Potent! Eye Cream: Brightens and fades dark circles
The last product I bought from Sephora was Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil in Matte Dark Plum 12C. I bought this because I was looking for a purple lip pencil to go with some of the purple lipsticks I have.
We then stopped at Nordstrom to check out the clothes. I didn't find anything but I did get a Silver Leather & Gold Chain Wrap Bracelet by Cara Accessories. My sister has been going on and on about wrap bracelets but alot of them tend to be too chunky for me. I like this one though because it's a little more delicate and feminine. In the photo, my sister is wearing it -- isn't she a great hand model? ;)
Lastly and my most expensive purchase of the day was a straightening iron that I bought on a whim from a kiosk by P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing & Co.). I always do my research in buying products but my GHD iron that I had just for over a year had already broke so I was kind of desperate for a new one. I also don't normally buy anything from a kiosk as the sales people are very pushy in making a sale.
Anyway, I bought the Ceramic Styling Tool in the Pink Black Polka Dots print. Even though I'm not really a pink girl, it was one of the most tame designs they had. Some key features are:
- 100% ceramic plates
- 1.25 inch wide "floating plates", which is supposed to prevent crease marks on your hair and eliminate tugging when styling
- 200˚ F-400˚ F adjustable temperature dial
- 9 foot 360˚ swivel cord
- Heat resistant handle that has a rigid-texture so there's no slip
- 10 seconds to heat up
Overall, I think it's a good styling tool and am hoping this will last me a lot longer than the GHD. You can only purchase P.Y.T products only through a P.Y.T authorized retailer, not even though their website which is http://pythair.com. I actually was able to talk to the sales guy (named Sean Kingston, no not the singer) into lowering the price and he was able to sell it to me for $125 when originally it's $250, so I got it for a pretty good deal. I told him I had a blog and would post about this styling tool, I even gave him business card!
Those were my purchases! I'm glad I was able to find some products that I've never tried before and am really happy with everything. Do you have any new favorite products that you've bought recently?
♥ Glamour Girl
