The Texas Department of Criminal Justice admits there's a statewide shortage of correctional officers. That fact is causing some local correctional officers to fear for their lives.
To the public eye, the last time you see a convicted felon is usually in court.
But after the sentencing, the eyes in charge of monitoring the criminals in prison are becoming tainted with fear.
"You don't know if you are going to come out in one piece or the same way you went in everyday when that door closes," said a Huntsville prison corrections officer who didn't want to be identified in fear of retaliation.
Every day he is exposed to what he calls a different 'world.'
"You have to deal with 186 offenders in a cell block…There's only one of you, and maybe one watching if you are lucky," said the officer.
In his 10 years of being a correctional officer, he says the shortage has reached a peak.
According to the latest records from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, just the 13 prisons in the Huntsville area are more than 700 correctional officers short.
"You definitely worry when you enter that gate, if you are going to leave the gate in the same condition you came in," said Lance Lowry, a correctional officer and president of the local American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
He says the shortage is attributed to the correctional officer salary.
"We have not kept up with the cost of living in these prison systems," said Lowry.
In fact, according to a study done by the union, Texas is one of the lowest 3 states in the nation when it comes to pay for correctional officers. The highest that correctional officers can make is $37,000 and starting salary is just $27,000.
"We need to take a public safety first approach and get the pay scale more competitive with the free market," said Lowry.
Lowry sent a letter to the governor asking the state for an emergency cost of living adjustment.
The TDCJ sent us a statement saying, "When necessary, the agency is utilizing overtime to ensure that critical areas of the prison are adequately staffed."
"When the state says all critical positions are being staffed, they are not," said Lowry.
The TDCJ says they will urge the state lawmakers to consider a pay raise for correctional officers in the next legislative session.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice says it hopes to hear from the governor once the legislative session starts in January.

A seven-year-old boy bit a Pop-Tart into the shape of maybe-what-sorta-looked-like-could-possibly-have-been a gun. And the world stopped.
Ok, it didn't stop for everyone. Just the students, teachers and families associated with Park Elementary School in Baltimore.
According to London's The Daily Mail—my latest online addiction—and many U.S. news outlets, on Feb. 28 Josh Welch was at school when he gnawed his breakfast pastry into something a teacher thought looked like a gun.
The kid said he was trying to nibble his strawberry snack into a mountain. But when his teacher saw what he had done, Josh said, she became upset and he knew he was "in big trouble."
Sure enough, Josh was suspended for two days. SUSPENDED FOR TWO DAYS. For munching a Pop-Tart into a shape that may or may not have looked like Mount Hood, or possibly a cartoon gun.
I can't decide if this is Orwellian or Kafkaesque. It's so absurd as to be hysterical. Under this premise, if Josh had chomped it into a circle and cried, "Boom!" the school would've been evacuated for a bomb threat.
When administrators called Josh's dad to inform him of his spawn's nefarious deed, Mr. Welch temporarily lost the power of speech. When he regained it, he said, "I would almost call this insanity."
He said school officials claimed Josh cried, "Bang! Bang!" while holding—or was he AIMING?--the pastry. The horror!
Mr. Welch found the incident surreal. "What with the real threats, bullies, whatever--it's a pastry. Ya know?" he said.
The school also sent home a letter with every student informing parents that a classmate had used food "to make an inappropriate gesture." If I were to receive such a letter, I would probably bite the head off a chocolate bunny and go to bed for two days.
Josh, who reportedly suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and enjoys art classes, told a local Fox News crew he didn't mean to cause a stink. He denies that his food art was ever meant to be a gun.
"I just kept biting it and tore off the top and it kinda looked like a gun but… I was trying to turn it into a mountain but it turned out to be a gun, kinda," he said. And the results were ridiculous, kinda.
As I write this on March 3, the school had refused to comment due to privacy issues.
I don't have kids but I do pay taxes that fund our schools. I'm for any security measures that keep another Sandy Hook or Columbine or Jonesboro from happening. But to suspend a seven-year-old for having an imagination is protecting whom from what?
My brother took a wooden rubber-band gun to school in the 70's. He zinged two pals pretty good before an assistant principal grabbed him by the collar and confiscated the weapon. T-Bob never saw it again. Today, he would never have seen the inside of that school again. He would have been expelled and sent to an alternative school.
I know times have changed. Our society is more violent and kids have a horrifying propensity to shoot each other. I know safe is better than sorry. But a Pop-Tart shaped like a gun? Really? I'm concerned about a teacher that paranoid. Did she err on the side of caution, or does she see assassins around every corner? I don't know.
I just know I'll never eat a Pop-Tart the same way again.

text: Hooligan Full Bodied Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as a "mauve plum." It's a reddish, warm-toned plum with a glossy shine. It had opaque color payoff that looked lush and rich. The consistency is creamy with a slightly thicker feel than some lipsticks, but that texture helps to give it a very juicy finish. It wore well for five and a half hours, and it was hydrating while worn (as well as some hydration lingered afterward). Urban Decay Strip is browner, less plum. Revlon Pink Truffle is less glossy, not opaque. Chanel Etole is darker. See comparison swatches.

"this is dana decision" = i've set my fee for gsp and set another fee for jones... pay me and ill fight
I love lamp.
Silva isn't stupid, in his mind he thinks he can beat gsp, but if he loses to Jones, it would be just because he is a way bigger fighter in a bigger weight class. A loss to weidman would hurt him way more than to Jones.
At this point if he refuses to fight the number one contender in the weight class he is the champion of, then he deserves the label of "scared". Is he "scared" of Weidman? Almost certainly no. Is it a steaming pile of shit that he will probably be holding up the title for a very long time? Unquestionably yes.
Champ fights number one contender until he loses to number one contender-when champion loses to number one contender then the number one contender becomes champion-champion fights number one contender until he loses to number one contender
It's an incredibly simple principe that is fair, and needed if the UFC wants to be/continue to be taken seriously as a major sports organization.
I feel like I did a good job on this post considering I am drunk.
I am hungry.
wait a second, i thought Anderson couldnt speak english.....
and LOL at anyone that actually believes AS is sacred of Weidman (or any fighter for that matter)
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Weidman has earned his title shot. Weidman should get his title shot. If Boesch (probably spelled wrong) beats him, then he deserves the title shot. Weidman shouldn't have had to jump through anymore hoops, but either way the winner of that fight is UNQUESTIONABLY the number one contender. If Anderson won't fight that man then he should take that white van, and drive it to UFC headquarters to turn in his belt, because the only thing he will be raping at that point is his legacy...and probably machida...
Bisping has jumped through 27 hoops and failed 4 times. It's nowonder Bisping is a more lucrative fight. Silva has nothing to gain by beating Weidman its a risk/risk scenario. If he Silva has a chance to make a shit load of money with only 2 fights left on his contract why would he go for Weidman when he can fight GSP and now allegedly Jon Jones.
By the way has anyone forgotten that Jones still hasn't fought Henderson or Chael? A loss by either of those two would seriously fuck up any plans of a super fight meanwhile GSP and Silva are wide open.
If I was GSP I would rather take my chances on getting KTFO by Silva than Hendrix (its a win/win for him).

Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
So when it's a fight Silva wants, he will fight whomever the UFC wants, but when it's a fight he doesn't want, that fighter is not deserving to fight him.

Coach Dennis Woolfolk said he had about 35 boys in his basketball camp, down a bit after narrowing the age group to those in or approaching middle school.
"We had the younger kids, too, last year, and it was too many. We'll do another camp for them in the fall just before the youth basketball league begins play," he said.
Tuesday Woolfolk, who was being helped by his assistant coaches and several varsity and junior varsity players, had his campers working on ball handling and dribbling.
Coach Blake Lyons and his high school assistants and the middle school coaches were working with 72 girls in the softball camp on Tuesday morning, working on hitting, fielding, pitching and other fundamentals.
A number of current and former Lady Hound softball players were also helping with the annual camp.

Bike theft is an all-too-common occurrence. If your bike is stolen, you're covered for its replacement, or for the cost of replacing it.
Don't worry – if you crash, you're covered. And if your parts are damaged along with the frame, they can be repaired or replaced, too.
Upgrade! Your stolen bike can be replaced with a new model if it's 3 years old or newer.
Was your bike made just for you? No problem. Just factor in custom parts when entering your bike's value and hold on to your receipts.
Have different cycles for different uses? Save 10% off your total price when you insure two bikes, and 15% when you insure three or more.
For an additional premium, cover is available for up to 90 days per year (30 days for any one trip) anywhere in the European Union.
Protect Your Bubble Bicycle Insurance is specifically designed for the cycling lifestyle.
Your home insurance will cover your bicycle if it's inside your property or locked shed or a garage, but it is unlikely that your bike will be covered when you are out and about. If you do choose to add bicycle cover to your home insurance, there will usually be an additional charge for cover outside of your home, and your monthly premiums could increase. There are also limitations and exclusions on this type of cover, and they vary significantly among different insurers and policies.
With Bicycle Insurance from Protect Your Bubble, you're covered when your bike is at home and out on the road.
It's so easy to buy Protect Your Bubble Bicycle Insurance online. Just a few clicks and you'll be covered instantly.
But how much should you insure your bicycle for? Think about how you use it – you'll want to include the value of any extras you've attached to it, like locks, mud guards, bottles, mirrors, etc. to give you a total price.
For example:
Always keep receipts to show how much your bicycle cost you and how much any additional extras and parts cost too, as your insurer will ask you for evidence in the event that you need to make a claim.
It may seem cheaper to insure your bike for less than what you paid for it. Even though your premiums will be lower at the start, if you ever need to make a claim you'll find yourself getting less than you expected when you try to get your bike repaired or replaced.
Insuring your bike for its full value means you'll be more likely to get replacements or repairs that are as close to your original bike as possible.
Get insured and get cycling – safe in the knowledge that your bike is protected.
Claims for bicycles more than three years old are subject to a 10% deduction for depreciation each year, and there is no liability cover included – see our Key Exclusions and Conditions for more information. For cover to apply, you must comply with our specific Security Requirements.
This insurance is arranged and sold by Protect Your Bubble, which is a trading name of Assurant Direct Limited, and underwritten and administered by Assurant General Insurance Limited.

Friday's college roundup
UNC women knock off No. 1 Northwestern
CHAPEL HILL — Fifth-ranked North Carolina jumped out to a 7-1 first-half lead and held off a rally by top-ranked Northwestern to defeat the Wildcats 11-8 on Friday night in women's lacrosse action from Fetzer Field.
The win breaks a four-game losing streak to the reigning NCAA champions and is UNC's first win over the Wildcats since 2010.
Abbey Friend led the Tar Heels with three goals, including UNC's final two goals of the game in the last 15 minutes.
Sammy Jo Tracy had two goals and two assists for UNC, while Kara Cannizzaro and Taylor George both scored twice and Emily Garrity dished out two assists. Jessica Griffin and Aly Messinger each scored single goals for the Tar Heels, and Brittney Coppa added an assist.
Swart pitches Duke past Bucknell
DURHAM — Sophomore left-hander Trent Swart tied a career high with 10 strikeouts and held Bucknell to just two hits over seven scoreless innings to lead Duke to a 9-0 win Friday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field.
Swart (1-0) retired 21 of the 24 batters he faced, including the last 17 in a row. Swart had a strikeout in every inning except the sixth and did not issue a walk in his second start of the season. It was the third 10-strikeout performance of his career.
Duke (2-2) took advantage of two Bucknell errors in the bottom of the third to go ahead 2-0.
Angelo La Bruna led the Blue Devils at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a three-run double and a run scored. Jeff Kremer added two hits and scored twice, while Andrew Istler, Mike Rosenfeld and Matt Berezo all drove in one run apiece.
Game two of the series is scheduled today at 1 p.m., and the Blue Devils and Bison will wrap up Sunday at noon.
UNC series schedule change
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina's weekend series against Stony Brook, origininally scheduled to open Friday, will open today at 2 p.m. and conclude with a doubleheader Sunday at 11 a.m.
Fans with tickets for Friday's contest will be admitted to any of this weekend's games.
Blue Devils continue to rewrite swimming records
GREENSBORO — Junior Nick McCrory matched an ACC record by winning the sixth diving title of his career and junior Christine Wixted earned All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season Friday at the ACC Swimming & Diving Championships.
The Blue Devils closed out Friday's action at the Greensboro Aquatic Center with six new program records, one conference record and a number of personal-best performances.
McCrory made history in the men's 3-meter springboard diving finals, winning his sixth ACC diving title to become the most decorated male diver in the history of the conference. He broke his own conference and school record in the event with a total score of 498.60, capturing the ACC title on the 3-meter board for the second time in his career.
McCrory is tied with N.C. State's Allyson Reid (1979-81) for the most individual championships by a diver in ACC history and will have an opportunity to take sole possession of the record today when he competes on the 10-meter platform.
UNC's Cari Blalock won the 400 IM, and Lauren Earp and Carly Smith earned runner-up finishes Friday.
Blalock won her first individual ACC title and became the first Tar Heel to win the 400 IM since Laura Moriarty in 2010. Earp took second in the 200 freestyle with a time just shy of the school record.
Smith, a redshirt junior from Chapel Hill, came back from her year off and was the runner-up in the 100 backstroke in a time of 53.05.
Reigning champion Virginia is on its way to the title with 560 points, followed by Virginia Tech with 348, Florida State 340, N.C. State 322, Miami 288, UNC 287, Duke 174, Georgia Tech 122, Boston College 80 and Clemson with nine.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves used two second-period goals to earn a 2-1 Amtrak Rivalry victory over the Milwaukee Admirals Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
Forward Michael Davies (G, A) and Bill Sweatt scored for Chicago, which won for a season-high fifth straight time and moved into a tie for first place in the Midwest Division with Charlotte.
"I thought this was a very good hockey game," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "It had a ton of intensity, battles and drama and we were able to hold on."
After a scoreless 20 minutes, Chicago (21-12-1-3) opened scoring 57 seconds into the second period. Davies skated in on a partial breakaway and snapped a shot from the high slot that Admirals goaltender Jeremy Smith stopped, but coughed up a rebound right back to Davies and he slammed the puck into an empty net.
Milwaukee (20-13-0-1) knotted the score 1-1 while on the power play at 6:19 of the middle frame. Center Blake Geoffrion held the puck at the far circle and sent a pass toward the high slot that deflected off the stick of Michael Latta and trickled through the legs of Wolves goaltender Matt Climie and over the goal line.
Climie (12-5-0) thwarted 32 of 33 shots in picking up his sixth win in his last seven starts.
The Wolves grabbed the game-winning goal with 1:01 remaining in the second stanza when Davies skated the puck in along the near boards and found a streaking Sweatt in the slot who flicked a shot past Smith top-shelf.
Smith (16-7-1) posted 32 saves.
The Wolves host the Lake Erie Monsters at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Allstate Arena.
Milwaukee 0 1 0 -- 1
Chicago 0 2 0 -- 2
First Period---None. Penalties---Latta, Milwaukee (delay of game), 10:54.

Loving it Right Now
Ever since my sister sent me one of these, several years ago for Christmas, I won't be without them!!
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Changed somehow.
I wrote a glowing review a few years ago about how amazing this scent is. It's somehow changed. There used to be the slightest tinge of sweetness to the fir scent. (Matching the smell of trees in Wyoming after a rain perfectly). It's gone. Now, its more acrid and not as pleasant. Someone commented the same thing, when they smelled the candle in my house. did I get a bad candle, I don't think so because they smell that way in every store here in Atlanta. Too bad.
I LOVE the Thymes Frasier Fir candles. It's not fair to say just that, sinceI love many of the Thymes fragrances...but the candles burn so clean with such lovely aromas - down to the very last bit of wick. An extra bonus is the pretty glass or vessel you are left with when the candle is done! Lighting Frasier Fir candles start my holidays. I can't recommend them highly enough. Buy many - give them as gifts! But remember to keep a few for your home!
Fresh Clean Smell
Leaves the room or house smelling so good!
Excellent for gift giving
This is a seasonal must in my home. The Frasier Fir fragrance from Thymes smells fresh and natural, creating a warm and inviting environment. The candle set arrived elegantly packaged and can be given as a gift with a simple ribbon. It is the perfect hostess gift or stocking stuffer for the holidays.

TiPb Presents: iPhone Live! #68 - You've Got Push Gmail!
Push gmail is killing my battery.. 30% less after working for 3 hours :/ it was doing nothing!
Push GMail is working great for me BUT...does anyone know why when I reply to a message sent to me that is forwarded to my GMAIL account, I instantly get a duplicate email of the one I just sent??
Anyone else have their sent message copy / bouncing to the inbox?
We're talking about the official Google push gmail, not an app. GoogleSync now allows direct push Gmail right on the iPhone. Just set up an ActiveSync account using your Google email and password. Boom.
Gezz will it kill to put a little production into the podcast. Chris sounded like mumbles. Please buy a nice mic Chris. Another this is the audio tracks need to be level to each other.
How would your computer have to be on for you to receive email on your phone?!
Yeah, the sound on the podcast was a bit rough this time, its really low volume. Chris had poor sound too, quite muffled.
I really enjoy the podcast and I am glad you do it every week. One issue: Chris's sound quality is consistently poor, close to the point where it is unlistenable. Is he testing out the waterproof iPhone case and broadcasting from a pool? Is he on dial-up? :)
Sorry everyone, I screwed up the volume. I've redone the podcast and re-uploaded it, so if you haven't listened yet and are having issues, delete the old one and grab it again.
Many apologies!
Same here it was my first time listening and I almost deleted this podcast from RSS Player aka Podcaster. I could hardly hear it in my car and CHRIS NEEDS BETTER AUDIO
I tried this and the mail part of it worked but I tried to sync my contacts too and it completely messed them up. It made me delete the iphone contacts in order to back up from the gmail ones (which would have been fine cos they were in sync with eachother) but it only imported about 60 contacts out of 300 odd. I decided to give up in the end and stick with gpush for email notifications - as I like the way it pops up with a notification, and use SyncInABlink for syncing my contacts.

Attorney Sam Hart Jr. is tenacious in attempting to secure bond for his client Francisco Javier Angel-Garcia, who was arrested in November and is being held on a $65,000 cash only bond.
Hart was in court March 28 in front of Chief Superior Court Judge William Prior asking that his client's bond be reduced or be allowed to be secured by property. He stated that Angel-Garcia is a native of Mexico but has lived in Macon for 15 years.
"His family is here, and his employer wants him back," the defense attorney said.
Hart said his client has no prior record and is not a flight risk.
Assistant District Attorney Gregory Bushway represented the state in the bond hearing and pointed out that, although Angel-Garcia has been in the United States for 15 years, it would be easy for him to return to Mexico. Once that happened it would be difficult to find him.

* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
E45 is a cream made to help skin conditions and help chapped dry skin to heal. It can be used on eczema, dermatitis, ichthyosis and psoriasis.
It can be used for all ages including babies so it's a really handy family product.
My family uses it on irritated skin and eczema. I would say I see this cream as a quick soother rather than a treatment and we've never relied on it totally to resolve a flare of eczema.
I mostly buy the 50g tube as it does go a long way.
The cream is white and smells slightly although the scent is not strong and reminds me of nappy cream.
It comes out of the tube as a fairly thick cream but on contact with the skin seems to thin out, probably due to body heat. I tend to find it disappears into the skin a bit too quickly and doesn't form much of a barrier for any length of time. It's still a useful cream to try but I personally find we get better results from thinner creams that also leave a bit more of a protective layer (like some of the oily creams do). It's non greasy if you give it the time to sink in so can be a good hand cream.
The whole E45 range is generally easy to pick up in the supermarket and all chemists. It's great when you need to buy something for relief straight away.
It's also cheap at £2.29 for the 50g tube. many eczema creams are twice the price.
It comes in 50g, 125g, 350g and 500g containers.
I like it but don't love it.
I started using E45 cream last year on a little patch of Eczema that came up on my chin. I had never used it before but a friend who also suffered with Eczema gave it a glowing report. I picked up a 50ml tube from the supermarket for about £2.00 and began using it immediately.
The Product
The E45 products are a range of highly moisturising emollients which have been clinically proven to help a plethora of skin conditions. It can be used to help treat chapped skin, rough dry skin, itchy or flaking, sunburn, eczema, dermatitis and dry psoriasis. It come in plain white packaging, be that a tube like I purchased, or you can also get it in larger tube or pump action bottles. The design is very simple with just the E45 logo standing out. Whilst being recommended for a whole host of skin problems, it is also very mild and can even be used on babies.
The cream is very thick, and white in colour, it has no fragrance. As it is an emollient, it does not sink into skin when you apply but kind of sits on top and takes some rubbing in – if that's necessary depending on your skin condition. It applies almost like a barrier and I often used it as a light smear on top of the dry eczema and as the day went on it slowly sunk into the skin. It does give immediate soothing relief to sore skin, and within a couple of uses my eczema did improve. I have also since used it on some very dry skin on my legs and it also helped those too.
It does work very well to help skin conditions such as eczema, but I have to say, as it so thick and doesn't sink into skin I wouldn't use it as a daily moisturiser but as a treatment it is fab!
E45 is always the first thing that people seem to recommend if you mention that you have dry skin but I just don't think it is as good as people make it out to be at least it isn't for me.
It is a very thick cream which has been dermatologically tested to soothe a variety of dry skin conditions such as eczema, chapped and even just rough skin. It is a paraffin based moisturiser.
I just didn't enjoy using this as I found that it was so thick and greasy that it was almost impossible for it to penetrate my skin and instead just sat on the top of my skin leaving a greasy layer which then just got rubbed off anyway by clothing.
It didn't feel all that moisturising to me either. Anything this thick and greasy is going to give some hydration to dry skin but it didn't just melt into my skin and take away the dryness. It sort of reminded me of Vaseline in that it would give immediate relief to dryness but it didn't really sort out the underlying issue of it.
For me I found that there were much more effective creams out there and I preferred a rich moisturiser such as cocoa butter or a body butter from the Body Shop instead as I found that at least those actually soaked into my skin giving me not only relief but also helping to heal my skin whereas I didn't feel that this was doing that.
Most people love this to perhaps it is just me but I wouldn't bother using it again because although it gave me some immediate relief it didn't combat the underlying dryness and I didn't like the way it didn't absorb into my skin and I found that there were much better products to use instead.
I first stated to use E45 cream when I used to get if on prescription when I was in 6th form. I have patches of eczema on my skin and I have to use this a lot to help to alleviate the dryness of my skin condition. I used to get it free as I was still in full time education and I was under 18 but now I am a year older and at Uni I no longer have this luxury of free prescriptions and I have to buy it myself instead. Fortunately for me it's not very expensive and though it would be cheaper if I were to buy the larger sized tubs like I used to be able to get free, now I just buy the smaller sized tubes instead as they are so much cheaper but they don't last long as I use it quite a lot.
E45 cream contains liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin and it's these two things which greatly helps to relieve my skin from the dry and itchy patches. It gets worse when I'm stressed or having friend problems at Uni or struggling to get an essay in later than it should be. This cream is quite thick and feels like it won't be absorbed very easily in your skin but in fact it's actually absorbed much better than you might think
It feels a little bit greasy when you first apply it but I just massage gently and I never apply too much because this is where it's very easy to go wrong with this cream, you only need a very small amount and it still does a great job at adding moisture to my skin. I pay £1.79 for the smallest 50g tube and this lasts me a few weeks. I often take it with me into Uni to use during the day and I use it on my face and especially my chin all the time and it's so gentle and it never clogs up my pores or makes me break out in spots.
It never smells of anything to me and it definitely doesn't smell medicinal like you might think it would. It just has a nice clean fresh aroma to it. It works quickly and helps not only to add moisture to the kin but it also helps to retain what moisture I already have.
I can't be without E45 cream and I recommend it totally.
I have been using good old E45 cream for years - it's my fail-safe and it's used by all of us in our house. I buy the large stocky tubs from Boots and these cost about £5. As the pots are so large, they can be a little bit difficult to store, especially as my medicine cupboard is so tiny, but it really is better value for money if you can buy the larger sized tubs. Of course, there are smaller tubes to buy too and these would be handier if you needed to use them out of the house.
It is mainly my daughter who we buy E45 cream for as she has flare up's of eczema. It doesn't help the condition entirely, but it does add lost moisture back into her skin and it's a product I will often use on her worst patches before she has a bubble bath as it protects the skin and prevents the water from drying the skin out further and thus making her skin so tight and sore that it inevitably bleeds. Likewise, if we go swimming, which we do about once every fortnight, I make sure she is pretty much lathered up in this emollient.
The cream itself is simple and easy to apply and it will never drip onto your carpet as it is so very thick. A little amount is all that is required for pretty good results. I don't just use E45 cream for Sarah's eczema, I also use it in conjunction with other products but this is one I have been using for years.
I use this myself as a facial moisturiser. It's not the sort of cream you are going to be able to wear on your face underneath make up as that just wouldn't work and you'd end up looking a greasy mess, however, I have found that it makes an excellent alternative to a night cream. I apply this even around the delicate eye area and it never makes my eyes puff up. I obviously use less around this area but I always find that if I have used it at night that the following morning my face will look fresh and well hydrated.
It really is an excellent cream and something which can be used by the whole family. I also use it as a hand cream and have used it as a richer all over body lotion from time to time, especially if my skin has been feeling particularly parched. It does feel slightly 'cloggy' and you have to be careful that it's dried off before dressing but it's certainly a cream I would recommend to anyone.
I suffer from patches of dry skin from time to time - particularly during the winter months when I find that central heating combined with the biting cold outside and heavy winds can dry my skin out. Therefore, I tend to moisturise more in the winter months and have various remedies for these dry skin patches in the house. Both of my sons also suffered with dry skin when they were born and we were advised of a couple of remedies for this - one was to rub olive oil into the skin and the other was to add some E45 cream to their bath (under the running water). Therefore, I have several tubes and tubs of E45 cream lurking around the house.
E45 cream helps to relieve dry skin. Information on the NHS choices website states that: 'It is used to help moisturise the skin in dry conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. It softens and rehydrates dry skin by helping it to retain more moisture'. It contains light liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin and anhydrous lanolin and works by providing a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface.
The cream can be purchased in a variety of forms - in tubes and tubs. A 50g tube (like a metallic toothpaste tube) costs £1.79 in Boots and a 350g pot £5.29 (Dec 2013). The pots and tubes are predominantly white in colour with the blue E45 labelling. The cream itself is quite thick in texture and a bright white in colour. It feels slightly greasy to the touch but is soft and smooth in texture. I apply this sparingly on areas of dry skin and rub it in well - it is quite easily absorbed into the skin but it does take a little rubbing in. It does feel a little greasy for a short time after application but this soon completely absorbs to leave the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
I find that the cream clears up my dry skin patches very quickly - within a few days if applied twice a day. I only need apply sparingly too as it is very effective, therefore it is great value for money as it last so well. When applied to my son's bath, it also helps soothe his dry skin without being harsh on his skin or leaving it feeling greasy.
My skin is every dermatologist & make up guru's nightmare.
It flare's up with clinique & even some simple products, also it can go very greasy to very dry within a day.
When my skin has decided it does not like me i turn to e45.
you can get various sized tubes and bottles from the supermarkets or the usual haunts. There is a slight smell which is a nice and is not powerful at all so you don't need to worry about every one in the street smelling it.
I would suggest shopping about for the best price as you can get it everywhere (watch out for baby events in the supermarket's - it usually goes down in price when they are on)
If i put on make up when im having a dry day i have about 1-2 hours before the dreaded "cakeness" look appears, if it put on a little of e45 before i put on my make up i don't need to worry and watch the clock like Cinderella. you could use the one tube for your hands, face etc.
I really like this cream and its a staple in work, home and when im out. If you have dry skin problems turn to this!!!
The product:
E45 Cream
Various sizes - I use the 50g tube
What it claims:
"Treatment for Dry Skin Conditions."
The blurb: "E45 cream has been clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itching, flaking, chapped, rough and calloused skin. Sunburn and detergent hands. Its non-greasy emollient formulation leaves your skin comfortable and relived. E45 cream is also for more serious dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, ichthyosis and certain dry cases of psoriasis. Perfume free - dermatologically tested."
E45 Cream should be stored at below 25C and advises that occasionally allergic reaction may occur and if so consult your doctor.
To use:
Simply open the cardboard carton take out the tube and open the plastic cap. The cream is dispensed via an average sized aperture and the cream is then rubbed on in the same way as hand cream or body lotion. The cream being an emollient is fairly thick and has a consistency gloupier than most hand creams and similar to many nappy creams.
For severe cases of skin conditions, you will know the best way to apply an emollient with minimum discomfort. I am lucky, I only get occasional flair-ups of contact dermatitis and this is my main defence against it. In my case if I get a flair-up, I first of all apply the E45 onto the area, and often then just use instead of hand cream, at the very least, I apply three times a day to the infected area and rub in carefully. I then continue to use for a few days once the rash has gone before washing up or cleaning or doing anything that may cause a relapse flair-up. Effectively I use it as a barrier cream whilst my skin is in recovery. This system works very, very well for me. The tube is of the variety that is easy to squeeze, so once the tube gets low it is easy to push the last bit out, it is also a top down design, making it quick and easy to remove the cream as you get through the tube. It is economical and cost effective to use, I always have a tube in stock and keep it in the cardboard outer as that contains the use by date. I should imagine it would be fine to use after that date, maybe just not as effective.
All in all a good, readily available easy to purchase soothing and effective treatment for skin conditions.
In conclusion it certainly always works for me and is 100% reliable, it came to me highly recommended and I am happy to pass that recommendation on. I would expect it to easily meet the claims on the box.
Price and Availability:
Price is usually just a few ££s for the smallest tube up to about £5 for the tub. It is readily available from supermarkets, pharmacies, chemists and on-line.
6 month on: Still a must have in my house!
Why and how do I use this product?
Anyone who has occasional flare ups of eczema knows the itchiness and soreness that goes with it. I first encountered E45 when my children were small - my borderline OCD cleaning, washing and sterilizing of everything they came into contact with had the knock on effect that I put the skin on my hands through the mill and ended up with the lumpy, dry, bleeding and painful mess that is eczema - so bad that I was prescribed steroid cream to clear it up. My doctor recommended that I use E45 to keep my hands moisturised once the eczema had cleared up.
There has never really been a time since then that E45 has been missing from my bathroom cabinet. The whole family use it to help with dry skin problems. My daughter often rubs some on the backs of her heels when her high heels have been chaffing. My husband uses it on his hands when he has been working in the garden and has to over-scrub his hands to get that ground-in dirt off. I use it regularly on my hands and legs at the first sign that my skin feels a little bit dry. In wintertime when the central heating inside and the cold air outside do their best to dry out your skin on all fronts - E45 is invaluable.
E45 cream is thick, creamy and white. If used sparingly it is quickly absorbed into the skin and leaves your skin feeling softer almost immediately. It does not make your skin feel sticky like some creams and most importantly for me - my skin does not react to it as it does to some other moisturising products.
What is E45? (see www.e45.co.uk for further details)
E45 is basically light liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin and anhydrous lanolin which is from the wool of sheep and works by providing a layer of oil on your skin which stops which water evaporation from the skin's surface. It was formulated by a Boots chemist way back in 1952 to help a customer who wanted something that would soothe the skin and well as providing protection for the skin. In the early years it was used in hospitals - then in the 1980's it began to appear in pharmacies and shops.
There is a range of E45 products on the market. In addition to the standard cream there are lotions and hand creams; emollient bath oils and a dry scalp shampoo. They even have a range that is specifically aimed at small children. To view the whole range of E45 products and to see whether they would be right for you, check out the website noted above. If in any doubt it is always best to take the advice of a doctor first before using this product. Always read the label before use. For external use only.
Price and availability
E45 is available now at most good chemists stores and supermarkets. The E45 standard cream comes in several different sizes. A 125g tub of E45 is currently £3 at Asda, and £4 at Sainsburys and Tesco's. A 350g tub is £4.87 at Waitrose and £6.50 at Sainsburys and Tesco's. (19/07/13)
I would not be without this product. It is an essential part of my dry skin management. It has a long shelf life and is worth keeping in your bathroom cabinet in my opinion. Would recommend.
This is not the most elegantly packaged product out there. It is a plain tub which takes up more than its fair share of space in the bathroom cabinet it lives in. It does not even have sleek design. This is very much a does what it says on the tub approach to packaging.
It does not smell edible or sexy. It is a plain white gloopy cream that sits there when you unscrew the top and does not scream, Lather Me On All Over, You Know You Want To. The scent, what little there is, does tend more towards the medicinal rather than the indulgent.
So why has it earned a place in that bathroom cabinet and kept it for many years?
I have eczema patches. Not many, as I take care to minimise my exposure to things which I know will act as triggers to move my skin from grumbling to taking industrial action. But as I don't live in a bubble there is a limit to what I can do to stop one of these itchy, flaky, red and sore patches from popping up every now and then.
That's why I keep the Giant Tub of Eeczema Doom.
Patch appears. Tub gets unscrewed. A dollop of thich white cream is scooped out by index finger and rubbed into the protesting area and repeated as requred.
What happens to me is that the skin soothes. With a couple of applications, the dry patches ease, the flakes stop flaking and the redness and soreness both subside. This is not a medical miracle. It doesn't fix the allergic genes at the root of many of my health problems. What it does do and does very well is manage the symptoms so that even if my skin is not entirely normal, it manages to look like it is, which is all I can really ask for at this stage of gene therapy
So, not a glamourous product. Not one with a beautiful scent. But something which eases something which is uncomfortable and unsightly and that is all I can ask for really.
It also seems to be one of those products which lasts and lasts, no matter how much you slather on to the dry and flaky bits the level of the cream in the tub seems to take forever to go down.
Last but by no means least, this is not a ridiculously epensive cream. A 350ml tub will set you back £6.99 or 699 Advantage Points at Boots, but will work out even cheaper as part of their three for two deal on healthy skincare. This product is also widely available at the big supermarkets as well as Amazon.
The active ingredients include white paraffin and lanolin as well as glycerin. With lanolin, this is not a vegan product and this is not a product packed full of orgainic free trade shea butter. It is marked as suitable for adults and children and as perfume free and dermatalogically tested. It is sold for eczema, dermatitis, itchy and dry skin conditions including some dry types of psoriasis, as well as sunburn and dry, rough skin.
It has certainly helped me with most of the above at one time and another.
Which is why it gets to keep on taking more than its fair share of the bathroom cabinet.
My boyfriend has Eczema, so one of the products we always have in our house is E45, a specially formulated emollient cream made by Crookes Healthcare Limited. As well as being useful for soothing eczema flare ups, this cream is actually pretty multi-purpose and can also be used for cooling sunburned skin, and for moisturizing dry and flaky skin.
Whilst I don't have eczema myself, I have in the last year developed a tendency towards hives and prickly heat rashes after an allergic reaction to a medication. This leaves me with skin that is red, hot and itcy, covered in dozens of little red or white bumps, and slightly swollen. It's horrible, uncomfortable, and unsightly - and it can happen for almost no reason. During a flare up, my overwhelming urge is to scratch, but what I try to do first is use a cream to try and cool it down and make it less uncomfortable.
I apply this liberally to my skin. Now, If I'm not going out anywhere any time soon, I really do apply this very quickly, rub it in only gently, and then leave a thin layer on my skin so I look all grey. Not only does it moisturise and cool my skin very quickly, but I also find leaving a layer on my skin keeps it cool for longer, and also makes my skin a little slippery so that my attempts to scratch prove fruitless and don't lead to me breaking the skin. If I do have to go out, I spend time blending this in - it does take a while, being quite a thick cream, and occasionally leaves me a little impatient.
Whilst this does moisturise and cool the skin, I don't feel it helps me with the itchiness at all, which is, if I'm honest, the most annoying bit of a flare up. It also doesn't really do anything to reduce the inflammation or visible redness. With that said, I've yet to find anything non prescription that does.
Would I recommend E45 - well, I think it is absolutely excellent as a moisturiser for sensitive skin, and my boyfriend really rates it for his eczema. However, although it helps with some of the problems I have during skin flare ups, it just doesn't help with the actual irritation itself.
Three stars - a quality product that really works for some people, but sadly not for me.
E45 Moisturising Lotion claims to be is a light daily dry skin moisturiser that is perfect for everyday use all over the body and helps keep your skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated.
During the winter I seem to suffer from dry skin on my arms and it has seemed particularly bad this winter. I received the E45 moisturising lotion as a free sample from Bzzagent and wanted to see if the cream would help combat my dry skin.
It's perfume free and hypoallergenic. I generally prefer unscented body products and it also means boyfriend is also happy to use as it doesn't smell girly!
To me it did feel slightly greasy on application and for a short while afterwards but on the other hand it does feels like it's hydrating your skin and the dry skin on my arms has disappeared after using for just a few days.
Looking at the prices online it also seems a lot cheaper than some of the very expensive skin care products and works as well if not better.
I had eczema when I was younger and still suffer with patches of dry skin that can become red and irritated if I don't moisturise regularly. I have often been recommended E45 as a non-prescription moisturiser.
Scent and texture:
The scent and of E45 is very clinical which means it feels much more like a medicine or prescription cream that many body lotions and moisturisers on the market. This definitely put it into the 'utility' rather than 'luxury' category of body lotions. I find this too medicated and don't like the smell on my skin. I'd rather something more feminine.
The texture is very thick and I find it takes a bit of rubbing to get this to absorb. This isn't ideal for me as I often moisturise in a rush and want to get dressed quickly afterwards.
Does it moisturise well?
I'm always surprised that this is recommended so often for dry skin as for me it's quite ineffective. I have found that body butters with cocoa butter such as Palmers or Derma V10 are much more effective at relieving the 'tight' skin feeling that dry skin gives you. E45 seems to just mask a bit of the surface dryness but doesn't moisturise deep down. For me, this is a cream I will only use if I've left my cocoa butter lotion behind and it's better to have a weak moisturiser than nothing at all.
Price and value:
I'm surprised to see how much the price of E45 has increased over the years. It's now at £6.99 for 350g (Boots). I would much rather pay £4 for 300ml of cocoa butter lotion which does the job much better. It would only be value for money if the product worked for me!
Overall, E45 does not moisturise well for dry skin and isn't particularly pleasant to use!
I first started using this cream years and years ago when I first started to get eczema flares up. My doctor prescribed it to me and I've been using it ever since. I usually use it when my eczema flares up or when my skin is particularly dry as I personally find it a little too thick and intensive for everyday use when my skin isn't in need of too much extra moisturise but when it comes to moisturising dry patches and soothing itchy skin it is amazing!
E45 comes in heaps of different sized bottles, tubs and tubes so prices will vary on the size of the bottle/tub/tube that you buy. I get the large 500 gram bottle which I think retails at around £10 but I get mine on prescription. £10 seems quite expensive for a moisturiser I know, but because it is so thick and creamy you really don't need that much to feel the effects and I would say on average that a large bottle lasts me for at least three to four months with daily use.
Because I tend to mainly use it when my skin is really bad though it usually lasts me for at least six months so it is excellent value for money and it doesn't work out as expensive as you'd think! As I mentioned before E45 comes in several different forms of packaging but the 500ml bottle that I buy is a large, quite bulky plastic bottle which has a pump on the top.
I love the pump mechanism as it is a lot more hygienic than me having to dip my fingers into a tub of product and it is also less messy and it dispenses just the right amount of product each time I press down on the pump. The only really small disadvantage though is that when the bottle starts running low I have to press the pump over and over again to squeeze the last bit out. The cream itself is white, really thick and it doesn't really have much of a smell to it but when I do use a lot of it when my skin is really dry I tend to find that it smells quite waxy, a bit like wax crayons which doesn't sound that pleasant but the smell is subtle and gentle and it isn't overpowering.
The cream has a really gorgeous rich consistency which feels so luxurious and as soon as the cream meets my skin my skin feels amazing and instantly hydrated, smooth and nourished. As long as I don't apply too much the product absorbs quite quickly and doesn't leave any residue behind, just a slight sheen on my skin, but if I do apply too much then it will just sit on my skin and take a while to absorb and feel quite greasy and wet so I always make sure I don't apply too much else it just goes to waste really as I have to wipe the excess off.
When it comes to using it on eczema and itchy skin I find that it works really well as it is gentle, cooling and soothing and it never irritated my skin further or makes my skin feel even more sore. It does sting a little sometimes when I have open wounds from scratching but this feeling subsides after seconds and it is a lot more gentle than a lot of my other moisturisers. It doesn't reduce the itching completely, however it does lessen the itching due to the relief that I feel after applying it and my skin feels a lot better. My doctor advised me to apply it at least three times a day when my eczema is bad but I find that if I apply tin the morning t keeps my skin feeling moisturised and soft all day and I only need to re-apply it again at night so it is definitely a very effective moisturiser.
All in all I highly recommend E45 cream and I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
I'm reviewing E45 Dermatological cream.
It comes in pumps,tubs,or tubes.With content varying from a 50g tube to a huge tub of 350g,and prices from £2.40 up to £7. I'm reviewing the pump tub.
It contains ,White Soft Paraffin BP 14.5%w/w.....Light Liquid Paraffin PH Eur 12.6% w/w....Hypoallergenic Anhydrous Lanolin(Medilan) 1.0% w/w.
It is recommended for many dry skin conditions ,including eczema,dermatitis,ichthyosis,& certain dry cases of psoriasis.
I first came across this cream purely by accident.We were helping care for an elderly friend who was house bound and had a care package in place which involved lovely girls coming in to see to her needs. Being housebound & sat in a heated room all day our friend's skin was getting very dry,so we were advised to buy this for the carers to use on her. We bought a small 125g tub to try it out & the carers would apply it after her wash ,or just massage it into her legs & feet ,which were VERY dry . She loved this & the difference was amazing . After just a few applications the dry skin was vastly improved & through constant use the dry skin was replaced by smooth much healthier skin, so we picked up a large pump tub which was much handier for the carers to use & more hygienic ....no constantly dipping fingers into the tub to top up.Just press the pump top & hold your hand under the nozzle.....really convenient.
I was so impressed that I bought some for my own use & have used it regularly ever since. I have no bad skin conditions thankfully,but my skin does tend to get dry,so I keep the pump tub on the bathroom sill for frequent use. I find the secret with this cream is to use it regularly but in small amounts. So the pump is ideal for this. I use it on my face ,shoulders & elbows after my morning shower & by the time I've trotted back to bedroom to dress the cream has been absorbed & my skin feels wonderful & smooth . It isn't oily unless you slap it on in great big splodges and it has no fragrance,so isn't going to clash with your deodorant or perfume. There is just a slight aroma on immediate use....not perfumed ,but very very slightly medicated (for want of a better word)......but that fades quickly after application & absorption into the skin.
It doesn't sting like some skin treatments either & is really gentle. Ideal for just about any skin type.
There is also a range of other E45 items,and these are very varied but basically are all for treating dry skin conditions on various body areas or for maintaining healthy skin.
Moisturising lotion.
Shower Cream.
Shampoo (for dry scalp issues)
Hand Cream
Lip Balm.
Bath oil.
Heel Cream
Itch relief cream.
And even things for children....hand & body wash & foaming bath items.
I've since recommended E45 cream to a few friends & colleagues & they are very happy using it too.
Thank you for reading & I hope this was helpful.
A light and pleasant to use emollient cream, clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itching and flaking skin conditions / It is recommended for more serious dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and icthyosis / E45 Cream is perfume free, and de

2 tablespoons
1 3/4 cups
Swanson® Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
Vegetable cooking spray
1 pound
skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
2 cloves
garlic, minced
3 cups
cut-up fresh vegetables (see Note)
1/2 cup
orange marmalade
4 cups
hot cooked rice, cooked without salt
A decent starting point, but I added a lot. I didn't have any orange marmalade so I just used the juice of an orange and added some extra corn starch. I also added some Chinese chili paste to give it a kick. That way there will still a lot of taste, but not that sticky, too sweet flavor. I will definitely use it again!
I was so excited about this because I love stir frys...but I don't know what happened. This had the worst flavor ever. I LOVE orange stuff but this didn't remind me of orange chicken at all. I almost want to try it again because maybe my marmalade was bad (although I just bought it) or something haha. Anyways, first time and I was definitely not a fan.

I made this last night and the only change that I made was to mix a little orange juice and sweet chili sauce (about 3 tablespoons)in to spice it up a little. Excellent recipe! I did not think there was too much sauce, I like the extra to mix with the rice. My husband gave it a thumbs up, and my very picky 6 year old even liked the sauce with the chicken!
OMG!!! SOOO good a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies (me too). I thought at first I would not like this recipes because I am not big into citrus flavours but it was worth trying I do not regret it once so ever although I left out the onion.
Nice zesty orange flavour. Next time I will use less chicken stock mixture, as there was too much sauce.
I made this for my Home and Family life class. Everyone loved it! My Ag shop teacher enjoyed and commented me on it. the orange marmalade really is the main part of the whole dish. The fresh veggies that I used were green and yellow bellpeppers and sliced onions and tomatos. My classmated enjoyed it!
Awesome! I used sugar free apricot preserves and juices an Orange then chopped up the rind and through it in with the chicken. I kept the Orange chicken separate from veggies and rice. My boyfriend loved it! I will be making this again
excellent flavor, but too much sauce. had to add more corn starch to thicken it down more, and scooped some out to throw away. next time, i will try reducing the sauce mixture by 50%.

After being shut out 35-0 by top-ranked Northside-Warner Robins at home last Friday, Jones County hits the road Friday to face Lakeside-Evans in a showdown for third place in the region and start a key three-game stretch to finish the regular season.
The Panthers are now third in the 2-AAAAA standings with a 3-1 mark after beating Greenbrier 34-17 last week, but the Greyhounds, who are 2-2, can pull even with a victory Friday. After that, Jones County finishes the season at home with games against Houston County and Grovetown.
Lakeside-Evans finishes up by hosting Evans before visiting Warner Robins.
Grovetown is also 2-2 in region play now, but the Warriors host Warner Robins Friday before finishing the season on the road against Greenbrier and Jones County.
The top four teams in the region advance to the state playoffs. Northside and Warner Robins are both 4-0 in region play pending a showdown next week, and it appears they will finish as the top two seeds. That leaves Jones County in a battle with Lakeside-Evans and Grovetown for the final two slots. Evans, with a 1-3 region record, has an outside chance at finishing fourth. Houston County and Greenbrier, both 0-4 in the region, are pretty much out of the race.

My third Ghisallo helmet

A very good helmet that fits my head, the only drawback, the pads wear out before the helmet, even with washing.

Still a great helmet!
By No place like home
from Kansas
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This is my second Bell Ghisallo. I bought my first one in 2002, and it is still going strong. I have never had any problem other than a worn out pad. I just bought the second so I can have a back up. Bell is not making this helmet at this time so that's the reason for the purchase. And it was one half the price of my first one. So a great bargain.
Comfy, airy and looks good
By AllCycle Freak
from San Diego, CA
I've always used Bell helmets because they fit my ridiculously large head the best. This one looks sleeker than my others and has great ventilation. The only downside is you have to remember the sunscreen for your forehead because the vents are so large (but that's a good thing). The price was a steal, so why not?
Great buy for the money

The fit is just great and feels as if you are not wearing a helmet. The openings are big, therefore allowing great ventilation.

Crash! Helmet took a licking!
By Denidoo78
from Central Ohio
I'll spare the details, but I crashed about a month ago, and I walked away. In addition to bad road rash, my head did hit the pavement. At first I only saw a small one-inch scrape and a small dime-size dent on the side of the helmet. Upon closer examination there are four cracks in the foam liner; two large cracks from the point of impact from the side to top, and two smaller cracks along the top. Without the helmet on that's my cracked skull on the side of the road, and I'm in the hospital with a concussion or worse. After finally getting off the payment, (several persons stopped to help) I got back on my bike (no real damage) and rode home. I ordered a new Ghisallo helmet the same day! Definitely worth the money!

I was having a hard time deciding to buy a helmet online, but glad I did. Ghisallo fits great and vents well. Nashbar got it to me quickly and with no hassles. Great price, too, considering bike shops in my area wanted 130.00 and up for a decent looking piece of styrofoam!!

Decent helmet
By N8
from Salt Lake City, Utah
This was a decent helmet but I truly could not find anything that would set it appart from it's similar but less expensive cousin, the Bell Influx helmet. Budget concious and personal choice I guess. I didnt think it fit as easy and nice as the influx either.
Crash tested so I bought it again
By Saved by my Bell
from South Bend, IN
I've ridden with this helmet for years and like the fit and ventilation. Two weeks ago I went over the front wheel in a group ride and landed straight on my helmet. The helmet crack in several blaces and abraded, but never moved out of place. Other than a very sore neck and some road rash, I was fine. Needless to say I bought the same helmet since I know it works as a helmet should. My only issue is with the details on the newer one. There was a ring of foam around the injection site that touched my head in the top center. I had to scrape it away with my fingernail, but after that it fit just like my old one. Also, the right side pad was narrower than the old one and wasn't as comfortable. I swapped the pad with the old one and will work with Bell to get a replacement.
