Happy Friday! Here are our Five Things!
1. Every single hair tutorial from Hair and Makeup by Steph. This girl has MAD skills. Her tutorials are totally doable. And she is super pretty. I am also extremely proud to say I know this hair/makeup rockstar in real life. I know, I know. She is pretty much a hair celebrity. If you were wondering, she is really really cool.
2. This recipe for Apple Pie Muddy Buddies. I love Muddy Buddies… but remember the days when there was one way to make them? The chocolate peanut butter powdered sugar kind? Well those days are long gone and now there are infinite numbers of recipes for Muddy Buddies. Including this one. Which looks and sounds SO yum. See?
3. This DIY for Marbled Pumpkins. This project is seriously cool. Put some water in a bowl, add some nail polish and swirl. Then dip the pumpkins! But really, check the blog for details so I don't mess you up. Aren't these the most glam pumpkins you have ever seen?!
4. The "Shop the Look" feature from Groopdealz. They put together darling outfits, like the one below, and you can shop for every item pictured. And get this… you can get this entire outfit for under $60!! Can you believe? Is this not THE most perfect fall outfit you have ever seen? Get shopping!
5. The song I Choose You by our girl Sara B. This one is for all you lovebirds out there, and especially for our very special Aunt Nancy, who is getting married this weekend! She has been such a role model of ours and we couldn't love her more. There is no one more beautiful, hilarious, loving, and deserving of the happiness she has found. This sweet love song has the perfect message for her and her new husband as they start their lives together.
Have a great weekend!
xo, Sam

5 Essential Fall Photography Tips
Autumn color season is one of the most eagerly anticipated times of the year for restless nature photographers. The brilliant red, orange, and yellow foliage is like a jarring wake up call for all the creative energy atrophied by the listless and drab dog days of late summer (August through mid- September has always been my least favorite time of year). And since these photos aren't going to just take themselves, here are 5 essential tips to help you make the most of the autumn color season.
Get a screw-in polarizing filter for your lens with the largest front element size, then step-up rings for those smaller lenses. Step-up rings are much more cost effective than a polarizer for each lens. We use and recommend filters from Breakthrough Photography.
Use Backlight
The leaves of autumn foliage are translucent, which means sunlight is allowed to partially pass through them when viewed or photographed from the opposite side. The foliage seems to glow and radiate the boldest colors when this happens. Seek out as many of these lighting opportunities as possible for stunning, luminous color.
This will work anytime there is direct sunlight. Even when most photographers retire during the "idle light" of midday, you can always aim the lens skyward as the canopy of yellows and reds glow against the complementary crisp blue sky. Stop the lens down to f/22 for a sun star to add additional interest.
Keys to Using Backlighting
Aim the camera toward the sun (duh!)
Be aware of ghosting or flare when shooting into the sun. Your lens hood might help, although probably not if shooting directly into the sun, so consider using your hand, a hat, a book, anything that can block the sun's rays from striking the front element of the lens.
Avoid underexposure. Your camera's meter will probably want to underexpose the scene under most backlighting conditions. Consider adding a stop or two of exposure to keep the image from being too dark. Better yet, consult the histogram and "exposure to the right."
Look to add a sunstar for additional interest and a strong focal point of the image – if it needs one. A sunstar is created by using lens diffraction when a small aperture is used. A small aperture is associated with large f-stop numbers so a setting of f/22 usually does the trick. Best results are when you partially obscure the sun behind a tree branch or mountain, leaving only some of the sun's rays peeking through. Let diffraction do the rest.
Try to employ complementary colors by shooting skyward on a sunny, blue-sky day. The warm tones in the backlit foliage fully complement the blues in the sky.
Use Telephoto Lenses to Isolate
You should look to use a short telephoto lens (70-200mm or even 100-400mm) to isolate patterns of autumn color, interconnected shapes, and textures within the larger landscape. A forest of trees, colorful or not, can be a confusing maze of visual chaos. But by isolating smaller vignettes with a telephoto lens, you can help bring some order to that chaos.
Telephoto isolation in landscape photography is the fine art of exclusion, stripping away any extraneous visual elements to reveal only the most essential and important parts of the scene. This is particularly true when shooting autumn color.
In the example above with a focal length of 85mm, I reveal to the viewer only a small section of a larger waterfall and scene, splitting the image into three equal sections: the autumn color, the falling water, and the distinctive glacial blue of the river.
Look Down
When exploring autumn color scenes in the trees and hillsides, don't forget to look down at the ground at the "leaf litter" scattered along the forest floor, river rocks, trails, etc. This is particularly true in late autumn, my favorite part of the season when a lot of the leaves have already fallen, some of the trees are completely bare or still holding on to a few leaves, and there no longer is any green hanging around.
There are often many tiny scenes within the autumn leaves themselves found in the patterns of veins and variations in color found in a single fallen autumn leaf. A versatile macro lens of about 100mm is a useful tool for these types of images, like this image shown above.
Look For Reflections
On any sunny autumn day, find a body of water that is in the shade but also near some brightly illuminated autumn color, such as a grove of colorful trees or hillside. Here is where you will find a great opportunity to photograph fall reflections. If the water is still enough, you can capture some literal refections that create a mirror image of the primary subject. If the water is choppy from the wind or is moving, like you would find in a river or stream, you can make abstract reflections or colored water with longer exposures. The above image is an example of the latter, with a 10-second exposure being used to smooth out the water's surface.
These type of refection images almost always need some help in the form of one or more visual anchors in addition to reflection. A rock or rocks, a log, or a duck are just some examples to look for when making autumn color photos of reflections. In order to get exposures of 10 seconds of longer during the middle of the day, you will need a strong neutral density filter of 6 to 10 stops in filter strength. At Muench Workshops, our recommended ND Filters are from Breakthrough Photography.

Rizatriptan benzoate tablet
Recent major changes section
1 indications and usage
Rizatriptan benzoate tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults and in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years old.
Information related to usage of rizatriptan benzoate in pediatric patients (6 to 17 years old) is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablets. However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that pediatric patient (6 to 17 years old) usage information.
Limitations of Use
Rizatriptan benzoate tablets are a serotonin (5-HT) 1B/1D receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults and in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age (
Limitations of Use:
2 dosage and administration
2.1 dosing information in adults
The recommended starting dose of rizatriptan benzoate tablets are either 5 mg or 10 mg for the acute treatment of migraines in adults. The 10 mg dose may provide a greater effect than the 5 mg dose, but may have a greater risk of adverse reactions [see CLINICAL STUDIES ( 14.1) ].
Redosing in Adults
Although the effectiveness of a second dose or subsequent doses has not been established in placebo-controlled trials, if the migraine headache returns, a second dose may be administered 2 hours after the first dose. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 30 mg in any 24-hour period. The safety of treating, on average, more than four headaches in a 30-day period has not been established.
2.2 dosing information in pediatric patients (age 6 to 17 years)
Information related to usage of rizatriptan benzoate in pediatric patients (6 to 17 years old) is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablets. However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that pediatric patient (6 to 17 years old) usage information.
2.4 dosage adjustment for patients on propranolol
Adult Patients
In adult patients taking propranolol, only the 5 mg dose of rizatriptan benzoate tablets are recommended, up to a maximum of 3 doses in any 24-hour period (15 mg) [see DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.1) and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ( 12.3) ] .
Pediatric Patients
Dosage adjustment information of rizatriptan benzoate in pediatric patients (6 to 17 years old) taking propranolol is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablets. However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that dosage adjustment information.
3 dosage forms and strengths
5 mg, white to grey-white, round, flat tablet, debossed with SZ on one side and 272 on the other side.
10 mg, white to grey-white, round, flat tablet, debossed with SZ on one side and 273 on the other side.
4 contraindications
Rizatriptan benzoate tablets are contraindicated in patients with:
5 warnings and precautions
5.1 myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and prinzmetal's angina
Rizatriptan benzoate should not be given to patients with ischemic or vasospastic coronary artery disease. There have been rare reports of serious cardiac adverse reactions, including acute myocardial infarction, occurring within a few hours following administration of rizatriptan benzoate. Some of these reactions occurred in patients without known coronary artery disease (CAD). 5-HT 1agonists including rizatriptan benzoate may cause coronary artery vasospasm (Prinzmetal's Angina), even in patients without a history of CAD.
Triptan-nave patients who have multiple cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., increased age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity, strong family history of CAD) should have a cardiovascular evaluation prior to receiving rizatriptan benzoate. If there is evidence of CAD or coronary artery vasospasm, rizatriptan benzoate should not be administered [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].For patients who have a negative cardiovascular evaluation, consideration should be given to administration of the first rizatriptan benzoate dose in a medically-supervised setting and performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) immediately following rizatriptan benzoate administration. Periodic cardiovascular evaluation should be considered in intermittent long-term users of rizatriptan benzoate who have cardiovascular risk factors.
5.2 arrhythmias
Life-threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation leading to death, have been reported within a few hours following the administration of 5-HT 1agonists. Discontinue rizatriptan benzoate if these disturbances occur.
5.3 chest, throat, neck and/or jaw pain/tightness/pressure
As with other 5-HT 1agonists, sensations of tightness, pain, pressure, and heaviness in the precordium, throat, neck and jaw commonly occur after treatment with rizatriptan benzoate and are usually non-cardiac in origin. However, if a cardiac origin is suspected, patients should be evaluated. Patients shown to have CAD and those with Prinzmetal's variant angina should not receive 5-HT 1agonists.
5.4 cerebrovascular events
Cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke have occurred in patients treated with 5-HT 1agonists, and some have resulted in fatalities. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, the 5-HT 1agonist having been administered in the incorrect belief that the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine, when they were not. Also, patients with migraine may be at increased risk of certain cerebrovascular events (e.g., stroke, hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack). Discontinue rizatriptan benzoate if a cerebrovascular event occurs.
As with other acute migraine therapies, before treating headaches in patients not previously diagnosed as migraineurs, and in migraineurs who present with atypical symptoms, care should be taken to exclude other potentially serious neurological conditions. Rizatriptan benzoate should not be administered to patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].
5.5 other vasospasm reactions
5-HT 1agonists, including rizatriptan benzoate, may cause non-coronary vasospastic reactions, such as peripheral vascular ischemia, gastrointestinal vascular ischemia and infarction (presenting with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea), splenic infarction, and Raynauds syndrome. In patients who experience symptoms or signs suggestive of non-coronary vasospasm reaction following the use of any 5-HT 1agonist, the suspected vasospasm reaction should be ruled out before receiving additional rizatriptan benzoate doses.
Reports of transient and permanent blindness and significant partial vision loss have been reported with the use of 5-HT 1agonists. Since visual disorders may be part of a migraine attack, a causal relationship between these events and the use of 5-HT 1agonists have not been clearly established.
5.6 medication overuse headache
Overuse of acute migraine drugs (e.g., ergotamine, triptans, opioids, or a combination of drugs for 10 or more days per month) may lead to exacerbation of headache (medication overuse headache). Medication overuse headache may present as migraine-like daily headaches, or as a marked increase in frequency of migraine attacks. Detoxification of patients, including withdrawal of the overused drugs, and treatment of withdrawal symptoms (which often includes a transient worsening of headache) may be necessary.
5.7 serotonin syndrome
Serotonin syndrome may occur with triptans, including rizatriptan benzoate particularly during co-administration with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and MAO inhibitors [see DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.5) ]. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, hyperthermia), neuromuscular aberrations (e.g., hyperreflexia, incoordination) and/or gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) .The onset of symptoms can occur within minutes to hours of receiving a new or a greater dose of a serotonergic medication. Rizatriptan benzoate treatment should be discontinued if serotonin syndrome is suspected [see DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.4) and PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION ( 17) ].
5.8 increase in blood pressure
Significant elevation in blood pressure, including hypertensive crisis with acute impairment of organ systems, has been reported on rare occasions in patients with and without a history of hypertension receiving 5-HT 1agonists, including rizatriptan benzoate. In healthy young adult male and female patients who received maximal doses of rizatriptan benzoate (10 mg every 2 hours for 3 doses), slight increases in blood pressure (approximately 2 to 3 mmHg) were observed. Rizatriptan benzoate is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].
6 adverse reactions
The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:
The most common adverse reactions in adults were (incidence 5% and greater than placebo): asthenia/fatigue, somnolence, pain/pressure sensation and dizziness ( 6.1).
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sandoz Inc., at 1-800-525-8747 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch
6.1 clinical trials experience
Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Incidence in Controlled Clinical Trials
Adverse reactions to rizatriptan benzoate were assessed in controlled clinical trials that included over 3700 adult patients who received single or multiple doses of rizatriptan benzoate tablets. The most common adverse reactions during treatment with rizatriptan benzoate (5% in either treatment group and greater than placebo) were asthenia/fatigue, somnolence, pain/pressure sensation and dizziness. These adverse reactions appeared to be dose related.
Table 1lists the adverse reactions (incidence 2% and greater than placebo) after a single dose of rizatriptan benzoate in adults.

The frequencies of adverse reactions in clinical trials did not increase when up to three doses were taken within 24 hours. Adverse reaction frequencies were also unchanged by concomitant use of drugs commonly taken for migraine prophylaxis (including propranolol), oral contraceptives, or analgesics. The incidences of adverse reactions were not affected by age or gender. There were insufficient data to assess the impact of race on the incidence of adverse reactions.
Other Events Observed in Association with the Administration of Rizatriptan Benzoate in Adults
In the following section, the frequencies of less commonly reported adverse events are presented that were not reported in other sections of the labeling. Because the reports include events observed in open studies, the role of rizatriptan benzoate in their causation cannot be reliably determined. Furthermore, variability associated with adverse event reporting, the terminology used to describe adverse events, limit the value of the quantitative frequency estimates provided. Event frequencies are calculated as the number of patients who used rizatriptan benzoate and reported an event divided by the total number of patients exposed to rizatriptan benzoate (N=3716). All reported events occurred at an incidence 1%, or are believed to be reasonably associated with the use of the drug. Events are further classified within body system categories and enumerated in order of decreasing frequency using the following definitions: frequent adverse events are those defined as those occurring in at least (>)1/100 patients; infrequent adverse experiences are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1000 patients; and rare adverse experiences are those occurring in fewer than 1/1000 patients.
General:Infrequent was facial edema. Rare were syncope and edema/swelling.
Atypical Sensations:Frequent were warm sensations.
Cardiovascular:Frequent was palpitation. Infrequent were tachycardia, cold extremities, and bradycardia.
Digestive:Frequent were diarrhea and vomiting. Infrequent were dyspepsia, tongue edema and abdominal distention.
Musculoskeletal:Infrequent were muscle weakness, stiffness, myalgia and muscle cramp/spasm.
Neurological/Psychiatric:Frequent were hypoesthesia, euphoria and tremor. Infrequent were vertigo, insomnia, confusion/disorientation, gait abnormality, memory impairment, and agitation.
Respiratory:Frequent was dyspnea. Infrequent was pharyngeal edema.
Special Senses:Infrequent were blurred vision and tinnitus. Rare was eye swelling.
Skin and Skin Appendage:Frequent was flushing. Infrequent were sweating, pruritus, rash, and urticaria. Rare was erythema, hot flashes.
Pediatric Patients 6 to 17 Years of Age
Information relating to adverse reactions to rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets in a controlled clinical trial is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Orally Disintegrating Tablets in pediatric patients (6 to 17 years old). However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
6.2 postmarketing experience
The following section enumerates potentially important adverse events that have occurred in clinical practice and which have been reported spontaneously to various surveillance systems. The events enumerated include all except those already listed in other sections of the labeling or those too general to be informative. Because the reports cite events reported spontaneously from worldwide postmarketing experience, frequency of events and the role of rizatriptan benzoate in their causation cannot be reliably determined.
General:Allergic conditions including anaphylaxis/anaphylactoid reaction, angioedema, wheezing, and toxic epidermal necrolysis [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].
Special Senses:Dysgeusia.
7 drug interactions
7.1 propranolol
7.2 ergot-containing drugs
Ergot-containing drugs have been reported to cause prolonged vasospastic reactions. Because these effects may be additive, use of ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications (like dihydroergotamine or methysergide) and rizatriptan benzoate within 24 hours is contraindicated [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].
7.3 other 5-ht1 agonists
Because their vasospastic effects may be additive, co-administration of rizatriptan benzoate and other 5-HT 1agonists within 24 hours of each other is contraindicated [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) ].
7.4 ssris/snris and serotonin syndrome
Cases of serotonin syndrome have been reported during co-administration of triptans and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ( 5.7) ].
7.5 monoamine oxidase inhibitors
8 use in specific populations
8.1 pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Rizatriptan benzoate should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
In a general reproductive study in rats, birth weights and pre- and post-weaning weight gain were reduced in the offspring of females treated prior to and during mating and throughout gestation and lactation with doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg/day. In a pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study in rats, an increase in mortality of the offspring at birth and for the first three days after birth, a decrease in pre- and post-weaning weight gain, and decreased performance in a passive avoidance test (which indicates a decrease in learning capacity of the offspring) were observed at doses of 100 and 250 mg/kg/day. The no-effect dose for all of these effects was 5 mg/kg/day, associated with a maternal plasma exposure (AUC) approximately 7.5 times that in humans receiving the MRDD. With doses of 100 and 250 mg/kg/day, the decreases in average weight of both the male and female offspring persisted into adulthood. All effects on the offspring in both studies occurred in the absence of any apparent maternal toxicity.
In embryofetal development studies, no teratogenic effects were observed when pregnant rats and rabbits were administered doses of 100 and 50 mg/kg/day, respectively, during organogenesis. Fetal weights were decreased in conjunction with decreased maternal weight gain at the highest doses tested. The developmental no-effect dose in these studies was 10 mg/kg/day in both rats and rabbits (maternal exposures approximately 15 times human exposure at the MRDD). Toxicokinetic studies demonstrated placental transfer of drug in both species.
8.3 nursing mothers
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when rizatriptan benzoate is administered to a nursing woman. Rizatriptan is extensively excreted in rat milk, with levels in milk at least 5-fold higher than levels in maternal plasma.
8.4 pediatric use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients under 6 years of age have not been established.
Information related to the efficacy and safety of rizatriptan benzoate in the acute treatment of migraine in patients aged 6 to 17 years is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablets. However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information [see CLINICAL STUDIES ( 14.2)].
8.5 geriatric use
Clinical studies of rizatriptan benzoate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.
Although the pharmacokinetics of rizatriptan were similar in elderly (aged 65 years) and in younger adults (n=17), in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, starting at the low end of the dosing range. This reflects the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Geriatric patients who have other cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity, strong family history of coronary artery disease) should have a cardiovascular evaluation prior to receiving rizatriptan benzoate [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ( 5.1) ].
10 overdosage
No overdoses of rizatriptan benzoate were reported during clinical trials in adults.
Some adult patients who received 40 mg of rizatriptan benzoate either a single dose or as two doses with a 2-hour interdose interval had dizziness and somnolence.
In a clinical pharmacology study in which 12 adult subjects received rizatriptan benzoate, at total cumulative doses of 80 mg (given within four hours), two of the subjects experienced syncope, dizziness, bradycardia including third degree AV block, vomiting, and/or incontinence.
In addition, based on the pharmacology of rizatriptan benzoate, hypertension or myocardial ischemia could occur after overdosage. Gastrointestinal decontamination, (i.e., gastric lavage followed by activated charcoal) should be considered in patients suspected of an overdose with rizatriptan benzoate. Clinical and electrocardiographic monitoring should be continued for at least 12 hours, even if clinical symptoms are not observed.
The effects of hemo- or peritoneal dialysis on serum concentrations of rizatriptan are unknown.
11 description
Rizatriptan benzoate tablets contain rizatriptan benzoate, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D(5-HT 1B/1D) receptor agonist.
Rizatriptan benzoate is described chemically as: N,N-dimethyl-5-(1 H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1 H-indole-3-ethanamine monobenzoate and its structural formula is:
Its molecular formula is C 15H 19N 5C 7H 6O 2, representing a molecular weight of the free base of 269.4. Rizatriptan benzoate is a white to off-white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water at about 42mg per mL (expressed as free base) at 25C.
Rizatriptan benzoate tablets, for oral administration, contain 7.267 mg or 14.534 mg of rizatriptan benzoate equivalent to 5 mg or 10 mg of rizatriptan base, respectively. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: crospovidone, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized maize starch, and silicified microcrystalline cellulose.
12 clinical pharmacology
12.1 mechanism of action
Rizatriptan binds with high affinity to human cloned 5-HT 1B/1Dreceptors. Rizatriptan benzoate presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in the treatment of migraine headache by binding to 5-HT 1B/1Dreceptors located on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system.
12.3 pharmacokinetics
Rizatriptan is completely absorbed following oral administration. The mean oral absolute bioavailability of the rizatriptan benzoate tablet is about 45%, and mean peak plasma concentrations (C max) are reached in approximately 1 to 1 .5 hours (T max). The presence of a migraine headache did not appear to affect the absorption or pharmacokinetics of rizatriptan. Food has no significant effect on the bioavailability of rizatriptan but delays the time to reach peak concentration by an hour. In clinical trials, rizatriptan benzoate was administered without regard to food.
The bioavailability and C maxof rizatriptan were similar following administration of rizatriptan benzoate tablets and rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets, but the rate of absorption is somewhat slower with rizatriptan benzoate orally disintegrating tablets, with T maxdelayed by up to 0.7 hours. AUC of rizatriptan is approximately 30% higher in females than in males. No accumulation occurred on multiple dosing.
The mean volume of distribution is approximately 140 liters in male subjects and 110 liters in female subjects. Rizatriptan is minimally bound (14%) to plasma proteins.
The primary route of rizatriptan metabolism is via oxidative deamination by monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) to the indole acetic acid metabolite, which is not active at the 5-HT 1B/1Dreceptor. N-monodesmethyl-rizatriptan, a metabolite with activity similar to that of parent compound at the 5-HT 1B/1Dreceptor, is formed to a minor degree. Plasma concentrations of N-monodesmethyl-rizatriptan are approximately 14% of those of parent compound, and it is eliminated at a similar rate. Other minor metabolites, the N-oxide, the 6-hydroxy compound, and the sulfate conjugate of the 6-hydroxy metabolite are not active at the 5-HT 1B/1Dreceptor.
The total radioactivity of the administered dose recovered over 120 hours in urine and feces was 82% and 12%, respectively, following a single 10 mg oral administration of 14C-rizatriptan. Following oral administration of 14C-rizatriptan, rizatriptan accounted for about 17% of circulating plasma radioactivity. Approximately 14% of an oral dose is excreted in urine as unchanged rizatriptan while 51% is excreted as indole acetic acid metabolite, indicating substantial first pass metabolism.
The plasma half-life of rizatriptan in males and females averages 2 to 3 hours.
Cytochrome P450 Isoforms
Rizatriptan is not an inhibitor of the activities of human liver cytochrome P450 isoforms 3A4/5, 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, or 2E1; rizatriptan is a competitive inhibitor (K i=1400 nM) of cytochrome P450 2D6, but only at high, clinically irrelevant concentrations.
Special Populations
Rizatriptan pharmacokinetics in healthy elderly non-migraineur volunteers (age 65 to 77 years) were similar to those in younger non-migraineur volunteers (age 18 to 45 years).
Information related to the pharmacokinetics of rizatriptan in pediatric migraineurs 6 to 17 years of age is approved for Merck & Co., Inc.s Rizatriptan Benzoate Tablets. However, due to Merck & Co., Inc.s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information.
The mean AUC 0-and C maxof rizatriptan (10 mg orally) were about 30% and 11% higher in females as compared to males, respectively, while T maxoccurred at approximately the same time.
Hepatic impairment
Following oral administration in patients with hepatic impairment caused by mild to moderate alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, plasma concentrations of rizatriptan were similar in patients with mild hepatic insufficiency compared to a control group of subjects with normal hepatic function; plasma concentrations of rizatriptan were approximately 30% greater in patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency.
Renal impairment
In patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance 10 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2), the AUC 0-of rizatriptan was not significantly different from that in subjects with normal renal function. In hemodialysis patients, (creatinine clearance <2 mL/min/1.73 m 2), however, the AUC for rizatriptan was approximately 44% greater than that in patients with normal renal function.
Pharmacokinetic data revealed no significant differences between African American and Caucasian subjects.
Drug Interactions
[See also DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7) .]
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Rizatriptan is principally metabolized via monoamine oxidase, A subtype (MAO-A). Plasma concentrations of rizatriptan may be increased by drugs that are selective MAO-A inhibitors (e.g., moclobemide) or nonselective MAO inhibitors [type A and B] (e.g., isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, and pargyline). In a drug interaction study, when rizatriptan benzoate 10 mg was administered to subjects (n=12) receiving concomitant therapy with the selective, reversible MAO-A inhibitor, moclobemide 150 mg t.i.d., there were mean increases in rizatriptan AUC and C maxof 119% and 41% respectively; and the AUC of the active N-monodesmethyl metabolite of rizatriptan was increased more than 400%. The interaction would be expected to be greater with irreversible MAO inhibitors. No pharmacokinetic interaction is anticipated in patients receiving selective MAO-B inhibitors [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ( 4) and DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.5) ].
In a study of concurrent administration of propranolol 240 mg/day and a single dose of rizatriptan 10 mg in healthy adult subjects (n=11), mean plasma AUC for rizatriptan was increased by 70% during propranolol administration, and a four-fold increase was observed in one subject. The AUC of the active N-monodesmethyl metabolite of rizatriptan was not affected by propranolol [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ( 2.4) and DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.1) ].
In a drug interactions study, effects of multiple doses of nadolol 80 mg or metoprolol 100 mg every 12 hours on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 10 mg rizatriptan were evaluated in healthy subjects (n=12). No pharmacokinetic interactions were observed.
In a study of the interaction between the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine 20 mg/day for two weeks and a single dose of rizatriptan benzoate 10 mg in healthy subjects (n=12), neither the plasma concentrations of rizatriptan nor its safety profile were affected by paroxetine [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ( 5.7), DRUG INTERACTIONS ( 7.4), and PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION ( 17) ].
Oral contraceptives:
In a study of concurrent administration of an oral contraceptive during 6 days of administration of rizatriptan benzoate (10 to 30 mg/day) in healthy female volunteers (n=18), rizatriptan did not affect plasma concentrations of ethinyl estradiol or norethindrone.
13 nonclinical toxicology
13.1 carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility
Oral carcinogenicity studies were conducted in mice (100 weeks) and rats (106 weeks) at doses of up to 125 mg/kg/day. Plasma exposures (AUC) at the highest dose tested were approximately 150 (mice) and 240 times (rats) that in humans at the maximum recommended daily dose (MRDD) of 30 mg/day. There was no evidence of an increase in tumor incidence related to rizatriptan in either species.
Rizatriptan was neither mutagenic nor clastogenic in a battery of in vitroand in vivogenetic toxicity studies, including: the microbial mutagenesis (Ames) assay, in vitromammalian cell mutagenesis and chromosomal aberration assays, and the in vivochromosomal aberration assay in mouse.
Impairment of Fertility
In a fertility study in rats, altered estrus cyclicity and delays in time to mating were observed in females treated orally with 100 mg/kg/day rizatriptan. The no-effect dose was 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 15 times the human exposure at the MRDD). There were no other fertility-related effects in the female rats. There was no impairment of fertility or reproductive performance in male rats treated with up to 250 mg/kg/day (approximately 550 times the human exposure at the MRDD).
14 clinical studies
14.1 adults
The efficacy of rizatriptan benzoate tablets was established in four multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Patients enrolled in these studies were primarily female (84%) and Caucasian (88%), with a mean age of 40 years (range of 18 to 71). Patients were instructed to treat a moderate to severe headache. Headache response, defined as a reduction of moderate or severe headache pain to no or mild headache pain, was assessed for up to 2 hours (Study 1) or up to 4 hours after dosing (Studies 2, 3 and 4). Associated symptoms of nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia and maintenance of response up to 24 hours post-dose were evaluated. A second dose of rizatriptan benzoate tablets was allowed 2 to 24 hours after dosing for treatment of recurrent headache in Studies 1 and 2. Additional analgesics and/or antiemetics were allowed 2 hours after initial treatment for rescue in all four studies.
In all studies, the percentage of patients achieving headache response 2 hours after treatment was significantly greater in patients who received either rizatriptan benzoate 5 or 10 mg compared to those who received placebo. In a separate study, doses of 2.5 mg were not different from placebo. Doses greater than 10 mg were associated with an increased incidence of adverse effects. The results from the four controlled studies are summarized in Table 2.

Comparisons of drug performance based upon results obtained in different clinical trials may not be reliable. Because studies are conducted at different times, with different samples of patients, by different investigators, employing different criteria and/or different interpretations of the same criteria, under different conditions (dose, dosing regimen, etc.), quantitative estimates of treatment response and the timing of response may be expected to vary considerably from study to study.
The estimated probability of achieving an initial headache response within 2 hours following treatment in pooled Studies 1, 2, 3, and 4 is depicted in Figure 1.
For patients with migraine-associated photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea at baseline, there was a decreased incidence of these symptoms following administration of rizatriptan benzoate compared to placebo.
Two to 24 hours following the initial dose of study treatment, patients were allowed to use additional treatment for pain response in the form of a second dose of study treatment or other medication. The estimated probability of patients taking a second dose or other medication for migraine over the 24 hours following the initial dose of study treatment is summarized in Figure 2 .
Efficacy was unaffected by the presence of aura; by the gender, or age of the patient; or by concomitant use of common migraine prophylactic drugs (e.g., beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants) or oral contraceptives. In two additional similar studies, efficacy was unaffected by relationship to menses. There were insufficient data to assess the impact of race on efficacy.

STEP 1 – Advertise and organize: Before you post your graffiti wall in a public place, tell people what it is, where it'll be posted, and when they can sign it. Get permission, if you need, from the appropriate adults. Choose designated times (like during lunch) to allow as many people to sign as possible.
STEP 2 – Provide guidelines: Be clear about what you want people to post. Your Chapter may decide you only want messages to loved ones affected by tobacco, or specifically about Big Tobacco. Whatever you decide, you should make guidelines clear, and have Chapter members sign the wall first to set an example.
STEP 3 -Sign away: Have someone monitor the wall to answer any questions, make sure there's enough room to sign, markers are available, etc. Hand out a flyer about The 84 to promote your Chapter. Consider hosting a raffle for people who participate to encourage people to sign the wall. Use free 84 giveaways, such as jump drive bracelets and drawstring bags, for prizes.
STEP 4 – Take pictures: Assign someone to take photos of the completed wall and post it in a public place. A Chapter member can use quotes from the wall and submit them with pictures to get local media coverage (like from your community or school newspaper), or send them to a decision maker or tobacco company executive.
STEP 5 – Report back: Post pictures and a description of your activity on your Chapter page onThe84.org to get points and attention!

Speaking after the announcement of Labour's selection of another hard-left prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC), this time in Ann Coffey's seat of Stockport, Cllr Mark Hunter, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on Stockport Council, said: "It was disappointing but hardly a surprise to see that the Momentum-backed candidate was recently selected as PPC for Stockport. Reports on Labour's own channels tell of manipulation of the shortlist to give a favoured hard-left candidate, supported by John McDonnell amongst others, a clear path to victory. This ignored the local party's decision for an all-woman shortlist and excluded a well-known local councillor who had been endorsed by the Jewish Labour Movement.
"It must be a terrible time to be a moderate Labour supporter. With no clear position on Brexit and with roles at all levels being taken over by Momentum, it is no surprise that support for and membership of the Liberal Democrats is at an all-time high, with many former Labour members coming to us. It does help to explain why the current Labour administration appear to be asleep at the wheel and getting nothing done – they are too busy having to focus on their internal rifts."

Deutsche Bank Fires 18,000, Orders Pizza
Global Investment Bank to Undergo Massive Restructuring
It looks like Deutsche Bank (DB) CEO Christian Sewing has been reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (and he's decided 18,000 Deutsche Bank employees do not "give him joy").
The global investment bank/hot-bed of financial crime announced this morning it would be scaling down operations in London and New York and giving the axe to a fifth of its workforce, starting today.
Reports are coming in that Deutsche Bank employees in Hong Kong, Sydney, and London are being sent home this morning, complete with the iconic 2008-esque photos of folks leaving work at 9 a.m. with all their stuff in a box. (Not the greatest way to get on international news and a death sentence for your Tinder performance.)
Deutsche Bank's once-stellar reputation was tarnished by its role in the 2008 financial collapse.
In order to compete with the big boy American investment banks, DB engaged in some light criminal activity — laundering money, rigging interest rates, and violating U.S. sanctions on our old friend Iran.
American regulators slapped the bank with billions of fines (USA! USA!). Which, combined with the investment community's loss of trust, would put an enormous financial strain on the global company.
In a statement to DB staff, CEO Christian Sewing said the drastic cuts were a necessary part of the rebuilding process:
"First let me say this: I am very much aware that in rebuilding our bank, we are making deep cuts.
"I personally greatly regret the impact this will have on some of you. In the long-term interests of our bank, however, we have no choice other than to approach this transformation decisively." (And I've decisively decided that Janice who heats up fish in the work microwave should be the first to transform out of here.)
"We are returning to our roots and to what once made us one of the leading banks in the world."
Sewing's plan will scale back investment banking, stop dealing in equities, and create a new "bad bank" to handle its debts. (Though some would argue DB is already a "bad bank." *Cue air horn noise*)
Yet, while DB's plan is a major overhaul and a big old statement, financial experts, like Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian, are worried that it's too little, too late:
DB will remove a total of 18,000 employees by 2022 (now might be the time to punch up the old resume if you're a DB employee). But the bank's not going to see a financial benefit to the action any time soon (if at all).
Severance payments and other expenses will cost Deutsche Bank $8.3 billion, including a $3.3 billion hit this quarter. And as the bank shrinks, so too will its revenue.
Despite Sewing's effort to reassure investors that this restructuring will make the company more stable and competitive, Deutsche Bank's stock dropped 5% this morning.
There was one investment that surged on the news. More on that in today's second story, below.
Breaking: British newspapers with their fingers on the pulse are reporting that 30 large pizzas were delivered to Deutsche Bank's London office at lunchtime today. As we go to print, we have yet to discover what toppings are on those pizzas. More as this story develops.
The Guardian originally reported that there were more than 30 pizzas but has since redacted that claim. Journalistic integrity is alive and well!
Bitcoin Rides the Wave of Deutsche Bank Misery
Meanwhile, bitcoin was launched upwards by the news of Deutsche Bank's restructuring, jumping $500 in just 15 minutes this morning.
At 5:10 EST, while U.S. investors slumbered soundly in their racecar beds, bitcoin's market value jumped from $11,400 to $11,916.
According to Morgan Creek Digital Assets co-founder Anthony Pompliano the news of DB's colossal downsizing is a ringing endorsement for bitcoin:
"Deutsche Bank plans to fire almost 20,000 employees," said Pompliano in a tweet this morning. "Bitcoin has no employees to fire. DB is built for the old world. And Bitcoin is built for the new world." (A new world where I constantly have to explain bitcoin to every one of my oldest living relatives).
VanEck digital asset strategist and MVIS director Gabor Gurbacs says this event illustrates one of the major advantages crypto holds over traditional finance. (It's also in a tweet because 2019 is hell and this is how news happens now.)
"Plan ₿" is when you ruin a date by talking about bitcoin the whole time.
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein Arrested for Sex with Minors (Again)
Billionaire philanthropist and registered sex homunculus Jeffrey Epstein was arrested this weekend and charged with trafficking and exploiting dozens of minors for sex.
(And it only took about 20 goddamn years. Great job, the system.)
Epstein's sexual "inclinations" and weird sex parties with minors have been well documented throughout the years.
He was even prosecuted for purchasing sex from a minor in Miami in 2008. But because there are a different set of rules for billionaires, Epstein spent only 13 months in prison. And most of the time he wasn't actually in a prison.
Then-state attorney (and current asshole) Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta cut the deal of a century with Epstein, allowing him to leave the prison and go to work as a billionaire investor six days a week. (Because we shouldn't let some light pedophilia get in the way of holding down a day job.)
Epstein plead guilty to two counts of prostitution in 2008. But according to Joseph Recarey, the lead Palm Beach detective on the case, Epstein was operating a "sexual pyramid scheme," which included upwards of 80 girls.
Acosta's plea deal included immunity from federal prosecution. That was until April of this year when a federal judge ruled that the plea deal was illegal. And so, here we are, at long last.
The exact details of the case are still unknown. But after federal prosecutors unsealed Epstein's indictment today, we now know:
- Epstein is being charged with exploiting and trafficking dozens of underage girls as young as 14 for sex.
- Investigators seized nude photos of underage girls on a raid of Epstein's seven-story Manhattan townhouse this weekend.
- He faces a combined maximum sentence of up to 45 years in prison.
According to the indictment, Epstein sexually assaulted girls during "massages." After which he paid them for their silence and asked them to recruit other girls for sex.
"In this way, Epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach," the indictment said.
Epstein was known to "collect" famous friends and moved in circles that included former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew of Britain, and current President Donald Trump.
So if you thought this was somehow not going to turn into a huge media circus, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

The later seasons of The Office took a weird turn…
George Gilder: "I'm a Conservative but…"
As a reader of One Last Thing, you know we've been following the trade war and its effects closely.
So close, in fact, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. So today I want to take a step back and pluck the pine needles out of my eyebrows.
I reached out to George Gilder, America's No. 1 futurist, to get his perspective on the trade war and the blacklisting of Chinese communication company Huawei.
"[Huawei] has recently been condemned by the US government as an instrument of the Chinese communist party and military," says George.
"Yes, Trump has eased the ban he previously placed on the company. Yet Huawei still poses a conundrum for Americans and advocates of enterprise.
"As an American conservative, I generally support my government. At the same time, however, I believe that the Trade War with China represents a severe misstep — one that will cause irreversible damage.
"Not just for US technology corporations and investors, but for the entire nation."
George argues that China's momentum as an economic and technological powerhouse is unstoppable. He points out that the Chinese economy is roughly 20 times bigger than it was in the early 1970s.
And today, while the number of companies in public markets has dropped some 50% in the United States, the number of public companies in China has exploded. China now has some three times as many initial public offerings (IPOs) as the U.S. and roughly equal levels of venture capital.
"Ultimately, banishing US companies from China means excluding them from the world's largest and fastest growing capitalist market," says George. "By complying with this crippling policy, US investors do not support their country; they hurt it.
"China's ascendancy is a fact of the world that we should accommodate with our businesses and — without adversarial rhetoric — recognise in our military budgets and policies.
"Now, some Americans will avoid investing in China no matter what.
"This is a mistake.
"Again, I understand the conundrum. But when I compare what I see in China to what I'm witnessing in the United States, I believe we could learn something from their momentum."

The gremlins were around late last night
This morning at four they decided to fight
I peeked out of the covers and turned on the light
The time on my phone gave me a fright
Only four? It's the middle of the night!
These gremlins stay up pretty late
I do some puzzles and patiently wait
No use trying to sleep with all the noise
Wonder if they have teenage boys?
Oh well, I got up did some Thanksgiving prep
Returned to my bed, thank heavens I slept.
It's now almost one in the afternoon
Turkey smells drift making me swoon
The skin is browning, stuffing gets baked
Maybe dessert will involve a cake.
Another day ushering in the season
For happiness, maybe some stress within reason
My wish for you all is just to enjoy
After all, that's the original ploy.

The difference between our legal corners comes down to card weight and finish.
Our Value range of legal corners is printed on a 200gsm card which is a high white, great quality lightweight card.
If you like to have something more substantial then I would recommend our Classic range which is printed on a 300gsm high white card. This card is more durable and stiffer so stands the test of time better.
If you upgrade to the deluxe version, we then print on 300gsm card (same as the classic range) but we finish the corner with a Matt lamination over the image, which gives the corner a lovely smooth feel.
What does gsm stand for? Well, it is one way we measure paper and this way it by weight, Grams per Square Meter. The other way is to measure the thickness of the paper, and that is Microns.

It started as a tale of technology coming to the rescue: The authorities said an Amazon Echo called 911 during a violent assault in Albuquerque.
The call led to the arrival of sheriff's deputies and helped save a woman and her daughter from a "very violent situation," Manuel Gonzales III, the sheriff of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico, said in a statement.
"The unexpected use of this new technology to contact emergency services has possibly helped save a life," he said.
This account was widely reported in the news media. But Amazon and a national 911 association have cast doubts on it, saying it could not have unfolded that way.
Echo is a smart home device with a virtual assistant, Alexa, that responds to voice commands and can, among other things, play music, tell you the weather or search the web. One of the things it cannot do, however, is call 911, an Amazon spokeswoman, Rachel Hass, said by email.
"In order for a call to be made and answered, the receiving end needs to also have Alexa calling and messaging set up," she wrote, adding that "there is no capability to switch the call to another phone, device or service."
The device also would have to be prompted first by four "wake words": Alexa, Echo, computer or Amazon.
Trey Forgety, director of government affairs and information and security issues for NENA: The 9-1-1 Association, said he would be "sort of surprised" if Alexa could respond as it was described by officials.
"I have not heard of an Alexa device being a problem from a 911 perspective because they do not have native telephone capabilities," he said.
He said Echo behaves differently than Siri, the virtual assistant on iPhones that can place calls with a prompt. He recalled a case when a television news station aired a report that included the phrase "Hey Siri, call 911," which led to a flood of calls to emergency dispatchers from phones responding to the command.
The Albuquerque story began on July 2 as Milana Honorio and her boyfriend, Eduardo Barros, were house sitting for her parents in Albuquerque, a criminal complaint said.
When her text message tone sounded, Mr. Barros, 28, accused her of cheating on him and reacted angrily.
Mr. Barros said he was "going to kill her if she called the cops," the complaint said. "Did you call the sheriff?" he asked.
Mr. Barros grabbed her 9 mm handgun, hit her in the face and kicked her at least 10 times in the face and stomach while she was on the floor, the complaint said.
"Barros told her she was not going anywhere and he was going to kill her," it said.
A spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Department, Deputy Felicia Romero, said the call was prompted by the phrase "call the sheriff" and that on the 911 recording, Ms. Honorio could be heard saying, "Alexa, call 911."
Deputy Romero said on Monday that the authorities did not know the finer details of how the call was placed, adding, "All we know is Alexa saved a life."
Pressed about the doubts raised by Amazon, she said on Tuesday in an email that Alexa was used "along with the home phone system" to call 911.
Referring to Ms. Honorio, Deputy Romero wrote: "The 911 recording is consistent with her statements, as she can be heard screaming in the background, 'Alexa call 911.' I cannot confirm which device was connected to the home phone system."
Glenn Platt, director of interactive media studies at the Miami University, in an email on Tuesday outlined a series of steps that might explain what happened.
The Echo can't interpret what you mean, but it can activate calls that are in a contact list, he wrote.
"So if you have 'mom' on your phone in your contact list, you can say 'call mom' and then your phone will call mom," he wrote. "But if, for example, you say, 'call the police' and there is not a contact on your phone called 'the police' then the Echo (Alexa) won't be able to call it."
He said Echo has "skills," which are permissions and rules tied to a user's personal account and information. Even if the device heard "call the sheriff," it would not have done anything. It would have had to be prompted first by one of the key words, have the phone skill enabled and a number in the contact list for "the sheriff."
At best, the phone would have called, and an operator would have heard the ambient conversation, but the Echo itself would not have called, would not have been able to communicate anything or indicate the location of the call, he wrote.
The complaint said deputies responded to a "911 open line/hang up." It was not clear how the Echo was configured, and efforts to reach Ms. Honorio were unsuccessful.
Mr. Barros faces aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and related charges after a six-hour standoff. Ms. Honorio had injuries to her face but refused medical attention and her daughter who was also in the house, was uninjured, the department said.
The episode was the latest to raise questions about the role of smart home devices that respond to voice commands.
Last year, detectives investigating a murder in Arkansas were seeking access to audio that may have been recorded on an Echo device.
Mark A. Testoni, the president and chief executive of SAP National Security Services, who tracks issues of big data and privacy, said a broader question raised by the episode in New Mexico is to what extent consumers are aware of a device's capabilities and whether clearer disclosures — similar to nutritional labels on food packages — are needed.
"These are things we are going to debate," he said. "I don't know what the answer is."

Christmas is my absolute favorite season, and Disneyland one of my favorite places at the moment. So of course, Christmas at Disneyland is pretty magical to me.
One of the perks of having an annual pass is having the time to leisurely stroll around the parks and experience all of the shows, parades, and rides.
These are some must-see things if you are planning to come to Disneyland & CA adventure during this time of year:
Places & Rides
Taking pictures with characters: Many of the characters, including Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, etc., are wearing Christmas outfits
Sleeping Beauty's Castle: The castle looks really pretty at night and as the centerpiece of the fireworks show.
It's a Small World Holiday: The ride itself is not too captivating, but the exterior of the ride is stunning at night time. Inside, the changes include Christmas songs and decorations. The outside lights up very colorfully and even has a mini show with projections and music every so often (I would say every 15-30 min or so). Lines can get long.
Haunted Mansion: This ride has had it's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" theme since September, but it is still a popular ride, especially at night. Fastpasses are usually available for the ride, even at night, so that's the most efficient option. I would not recommend waiting in the normal line if you are able to get a fastpass.
Jingle Cruise: Yes, there is a new script that the skippers use, but honestly the humorous effect depends on the delivery of the puns/jokes. I've been on the ride a couple times where no one laughs and there's awkward silence.. but there are Christmas lights & decorations on the ride worth seeing.
Shows & Parades
A Christmas Fantasy Parade: watching this parade is a one-time thing for me, as it appeals more to children. The parade itself is really slow and long because the floats are spaced apart. It starts at It's a Small World and ends on Main Street. I'd recommend the earlier showing of the parade for better viewing spots. There are some benches on the steps of City Hall that are a great elevated view of the parade.
"Believe in Holiday Magic" Fireworks: This is my favorite to watch during Christmas time. The fireworks last at least a good 10-15 minutes and end with "snow" falling from the sky and a pleasant gingerbread smell. Viewing areas get packed very early so for the best viewing, you might want to stake out a spot 1 hour before the show starts. The fireworks tend to be launched to the left side of the castle so make sure there isn't a tree blocking your view of air above the left side of the castle, especially if you're standing on main street. Best viewing spots are in front center of the castle and right behind the middle circle(??).
World of Color–Season of Light : This show is very different from the normal World of Color. It is almost all Christmas and very little Disney. Lots of Christmas carols and little narration
Paint the Night: This parade was last active during the 60th anniversary earlier this year, so if you missed it, it's back!
Food: Pineapple Upside Down Funnel Cake @ the Hungry Bear Restaurant
This eatery near Splash Mountain actually has some affordable and yummy fries. While getting our fries, my friend and I saw that this funnel cake was being sold and we decided to try it. It's actually a good portion for the price (It came out to ~7.50) and could feed 2-3 people. The funnel cake has a nice texture, and the pineapple chunks and syrup on top complement the fried goodness.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Thank you Ovolo. Salon De Co, at the Ovolo Inchcolm, is an absolute gem! The charcuterie entree, smoked duck and gnocchi mains were lovely. We also tried a lovely new whisky and berry cocktail in the bar. Both the novel and traditional dishes were beautifully done. We stayed overnight at the hotel after dinner, and found the entire experience to be enjoyable with warm, friendly service. This hotel and restaurant has real style and character. It is a gorgeous, eclectic marriage of old world charm and modern style. It was also good value for money, with features like a free mini bar and happy hour.
Wonderful food, wine, atmosphere and service - will be coming back soon
Great atmosphere , sensational experience.
Fantastic food and service
The wagyu beef and the autumn harvest dessert were amazing! The rainbow trout would be better if the taste is stronger. The service was excellent! People were really friendly. The overall experience is very good.
Delightful setting, excellent food and attentive staff.
Nostalgic & modern . Inviting & relaxing. Great venue
The staff made us feel very welcomed both in at the bar and in the dining room. The dishes we selected were amazing. Thank you for a great night
Service was excellent and helpful, Knowledgable sommelier and great cocktails especially the desert with matching cocktail. Food was beautifully cooked. Very small and intimate restaurant.
Great food but would've liked to see more vegetarian options. The wine suggestions and expertise were great.
We had an amazing night at Salon De Co. the food was exquisite and the service beyond compare. Reuben our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and good fun. Thanks so much for a great evening!
Wonderful service, beautiful food.
Fantastic all round - food service atmosphere value
Fantastic service, great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or dinner with the girls.
We went here for our anniversary and the service was impeccable. We were each treated to a glass of bubbles on the house to celebrate the occasion. The service provided to use was above and beyond as staff ensured we had an amazing evening. The food was delicious with decent portions. Highly recommend the spanner crab tacos! This is a must do!
My partner and I had a wonderful time, the food was great, but paled into insignificance with the superb service. Thank you, we will be back.
The food is absolutely fabulous - the service the same !!! THE best dining experience in Brisbane.
The food truely was divine - the lamb shoulder amazing and the steamed veg delicious. I would suggest the staff know the dish portions well as we asked our waitress twice if we were ordering too much to which she reassured us we weren't - we ended up leaving a lot (generous portions but we just ordered too much) which is wasteful ($$ and food wastage!). We would visit again.
Great food and service. All the staff where friendly and welcoming. The slow cooked lamb shoulder was amazing
My partner and I both agreed that this has been the best dining experience we've had in brisbane to date. We both live in the city and frequently dine out. We were very impressed with the food, the head chef (who was kind enough to introduce himself and the phenomenal service. The atmosphere we think was mildly flat, but did prove to create a very intimate experience. Thank you for re-introducing brisbane to fine dining.
We thought the service exceptional. Then we tasted the food. Exceptional service and mind blowing food. We have already booked a return visit !
The food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient. The décor definitely sets the atmosphere. This was a lovely restaurant to take my husband for his birthday. Will definitely recommend to others.
I really enjoyed this beautifully decorated eating area Food was very tasty and presented really enjoyed Service excellent Only disappointment was the noisy diners near us seemed to be exceptionally noisy sound bounces of the wall & narrow room It also was quite warm not sure if air conditioning was working well Otherwise really liked salon de co Would recommend and even go again for a drink as well as eating
Great food. Great service. Will definitely be coming back.

Pay insurance premiums on time..
On 14 March, 2014 at 16:15 Hours, Kunniah Rajashekara Reddy aged 32 years, working as a software engineer in Bosch Company, was about to cross the road near Garebavi playa after finishing the work. While crossing, Mr. Sulaiman Rider of Honda CBR bike, bearing No. KA51 EE 8562, who was riding rashly and negligently, hit him directly. The said person Mr.Reddy Sustained head injury and lost life on the way to hospital. A Case was registered in Madiwala traffic police station against Sulaiman and subsequently he was arrested and produced before the court and his vehicle was seized.
Rider Mr. Sulaiman aged 19 years is a student pursuing BE 2nd Semester in Automobile Engineering, at Oxford College. He is a resident of Naganathapura, near Electronic City, and is the only child of Inayutullah. He had not renewed /paid the insurance premium. So his father who is the owner of the vehicle was also made as an accused.
Now Both Sulaiman and his father have to face criminal charges and also have to pay a huge estimated compensation of Rs. 1 Crore to the deceased person's family members (house wife and a 3 year old male child) on their own as their vehicle insurance has expired .Since the deceased person was a software engineer, the compensation amount claimed could be as high as a crore as per the legal experts.
See the fate, one person has lost his life , and the deceased family members have to suffer on one side while on the other , Mr. Inayutullah who is doing scrap business should prepare to pay the huge compensation even though he belongs to low income group.
"One thousand costs one crore." This is a great lesson for the negligent drivers and for those who do not pay insurance premiums on time.

Cross-Atlantic Collaboration Leads to Students Creating Website About Ancient Fort
Craigavon, Co. Armagh – March 13, 2012
Students from Lurgan Junior High, Lismore Comprehensive School and the University of Notre Dame are spending the week working together to build a website to educate the community about the ancient fort on Lismore school grounds. Lismore is hosting seven students from Notre Dame and four from Lurgan to collaborate on a comprehensive project that encompasses archaeology, cinematography, and digital technology.
This project is intended to foster innovation and creativity as the Lurgan and Lismore students develop technical skills crucial in today's digital age. Many of the students knew little about the fort before beginning work on the project, and hope to raise the community's awareness about its importance. Fionntán Fields, a year 10 student from Lismore, said of the project: "I hope that it will make the school and the community come together more."
The grounds of Lismore School, one of the few Catholic schools in the area not named after a saint, include an ancient ring fort, or rath, that likely dates between 900 A.D. and 1200 A.D. Students from the three schools have embarked on a project to help teach the community about this important piece of history and culture that gives Lismore School its name. Lismore, or "lios mor," means "big fort."
Clodagh Cordner, a year nine student from Lurgan Junior High School (LJHS) interested in archaeology, said, "I've learned about different types of forts like ring forts and stone forts, why people build them and what life was like in that time." Cordner said of the collaborative aspects of the project: "It gives me confidence to work with others and builds friendships."
The Lismore and Lurgan students are focusing on specific aspects of the project in order to learn and develop new skills sets. The students aim to have the site up by the end of the week and hope to continue to add to it after the Lurgan and Notre Dame students return home.
"The schools work really well together," said Jonathan Ginesa, a year ten student from Lismore. "The people I've met and worked with from Notre Dame and Lurgan have been great."
Jonny Hunter, a year nine student from LJHS, said of his experience so far: "At the very start, it was weird because I didn't know anyone. I thought it was going to be hard to talk to people and make friends, but it's been good so far. I love doing the photo editing."
Caroline Maloney, a Notre Dame student in her last year of study, said, "I think we all have a lot to learn from each other. It's really nice to hear the cross-cultural ideas and to see how they interplay. The students we're working with have a great sense of idealism and creativity, and it's great to organize all the ideas and make them into a website."

Microsoft Contractors Listened to Xbox Owners in Their Homes
Multiple contractors working for Microsoft explain how they listened to audio captured by Xbox consoles. Contractors working for Microsoft have listened to audio of Xbox users speaking in their homes in order to improve the console's voice command features, Motherboard has learned. The audio was supposed to be captured following a voice command like "Xbox" or "Hey Cortana," but contractors said that recordings were sometimes triggered and recorded by mistake. The news is the latest in a string (...)
