Xerocytosis (also called dessicocytosis) is defined by the presence in the peripheral smear of hyperchromic erythrocytes (picture 1). The hyperchromia (and elevated mean cell hemoglobin concentration) are indicative of marked dehydration of the red cells [1].
Most of these syndromes are rare hereditary disorders, which involve abnormalities in the mechanisms controlling cell water and cation content [2]. However, a variable percentage of dehydrated cells may be present in more commonly seen hematologic disorders, such as sickle cell disease and hemoglobin C disease. These will be described here.
Since the red cell is freely permeable to water, dehydrated cells require the loss of cell solutes, which then induce osmotic water loss. (See "Control of red blood cell hydration".) Xerocytosis is characterized by a reduction of cell content of potassium, the main intracellular cation. This may be associated with a slight increase in cell sodium content, but the total cation content of the red cell is significantly lower than in normal controls.
The dehydrated cells are more resistant to lysis when incubated in hypotonic solutions. This decrease in osmotic fragility is due to the small baseline cell size. On the other hand, xerocytes exhibit a characteristic increase in cell rigidity and reduction in cell deformability. These changes are thought to play an important role in the hemolysis resulting from premature destruction of xerocytes. In vitro, these membrane deformability changes can be reversed by rehydrating xerocytes and decreasing the mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) to normal values [3].
Syndromes with hereditary xerocytosis cannot readily be distinguished from hereditary stomatocytosis. (See "Stomatocytosis and xerocytosis".) Several intermediate forms of disease exist between overhydrated stomatocytosis (hydrocytosis) and classic xerocytosis.

Secret recordings, made by Moat of his meetings with social services show that he recognised he was "emotionally unstable".
The gunman also admitted that he had installed CCTV around his home in Fenham, Newcastle, because he was suspicious of the police.
In the tape, Moat said: "You know, it's easy for me to say I don't do anything wrong but I would like a professional, you know, not a DIY thing you know?
"A professional thing for someone to come along and say: 'Look there's area for improvement here, this is a problem'."
The tape was given to ITV News by a friend of the gunman.

Seriously, it's just an absolute pain in the butt. I mean, I love climbing -- the physical release, the change in scenery, the sense of satisfaction at totally owning that little climb which thought to get in my way. Climbing is all good! Except for the fact that I have to come back down on the other side. This is where I have problems.
Take Sunday night for example, the climb out of Bilambil on Hogans Road, it puts on about 150 metres or so reasonably quickly -- I was loving every second of it. Then I got on the other side. I just felt no enjoyment or confidence on the descent. On the brakes too often for those corners, then there's the fact that the temperature was dropping (it was around 9C at that point). Would have been fine if I was actually doing something, but descending doesn't count as "doing something" in my view.
This has been bugging me for sometime. Is there anyway to get over this? I'd hate for my intense dislike of descents to start messing with my enjoyment of climbing.

An American safe cracker is summoned to Paris by a childhood buddy to help pull off a "can't fail" Bastille day bank robbery, but their dream of easy money quickly becomes a nightmare as his drug crazed friend looses control of the heist-and his mind-leading to a violent blood bath in the tradition of Reservoir Dogs.

DD, soon to be 8, has been in school for 4 years (including pK). Every morning of the last 3 years has been a fight. At first I figured it was just a phase... her getting used to the routine. But now, I realize it's not just a phase. Every morning I have to fight with her about every single part of our routine, which isn't a big long process. We get up one hour before the bus comes. I ask her to get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush her teeth and get ready for the bus. No chores, no extras. In that time I get her bookbag ready with her lunch or money, I get her boots or sneakers out, get her coat out and her winter gear when needed. That's it. I don't see what's so hard about this. She has and hour (a little more actually since the bus has been coming later due to a route change).
Every morning I start my day with fighting and I cannot stand it. This morning was the worst. She spend 20 minutes in front of the mirror just to get dressed. Then she wasted her breakfast time by bringing her earring box out to the table and going through those instead of eating. Then she brushed her teeth. I needed to get wood for our fire... since it's cold in here and she *should* be able to get her teeth brush and then put her coat and boots on. I get back in to find her standing in the kitchen screaming for me to put her coat on her. Oh, and her boots and gloves too. She's done nothing. Just then the bus came and in my fury I waved the driver on.....
That's right, DD will not be going to school today because she didn't seem to think it was important to get ready in time. She LOVES school, so she is not happy with me at all right now.
Maybe it was the wrong thing to do but I've hit my breaking point.
Thank you for letting me get my bad mommy rant out of my system!

In her newest role, Lindsay Lohan is playing the original sexy sinner herself, Eve. (Where else could she go after playing sexy Jesus?) From "The Parent Trap" to "Playboy," the pop culture icon has become a national emblem for temptation into sin.
Eat Me, Domingo Zapata, courtesy of Hus Gallery
In a new neo-expressionist painting by the Spanish artist Domingo Zapata, Lohan strikes her signature innocence-corrupted pout while surrounded by Biblical banter turned dirty talk. The text reads: "Adam and Eve changed mankind forever . . . started SIN . . . it was a plain simple apple hanging from a tree. Then the world changed for all of us."
The style is Warhol's Marilyn meets Basquiat's everything. Lohan also been channeling her inner Monroe quite a bit recently, including her recent Playboy spread. Zapata is receiving rave reviews for his fantasy-reality-Hollywood-nightmare painted collages. According to his website he also co-wrote lyrics to the "Macarena." Need we say more?
The celebrity homage recently sold for a whopping $100,000 to a mysterious "prominent British collector." It seems someone thought the piece was sinfully delicious.

Childbearing Patterns of Foreign Women in a New Immigration Country: The Case of Spain
Vila, Marta Roig, Martín, Teresa Castro, Population
Since the early 1990s, Spanish fertility has been among the lowest in the world, despite a small upturn observed in the last few years (1.35 children per woman in 2006). In this context, and despite a steady increase in life expectancy, population growth is set to level off and become negative in the coming decades. Yet at the same time, thanks to unprecedented economic prosperity, Spain's population has risen by 5 million over the last decade and now exceeds 45 million. This rapid growth, unique in Europe, is almost entirely attributable to immigration: the number of foreigners rose from 200,000 in 1981 to almost 4.5 million in early 2007. In this article, MARTA ROIG VILA and TERESA CASTRO MARTÍN examine the contribution of foreigners' fertility to population growth, both today and in the future. They approach the question by examining differences in fertility behaviour between Spanish women and foreign women, and between foreign women of different origins. After meticulous analysis of all available data, they interpret the observed differences with caution and conclude that a broader range of data is required before more detailed analyses can be attempted.
After nearly three decades of below-replacement fertility in Europe, there is general acceptance that low fertility is here to stay and that population ageing is an unavoidable prospect. But acceptance does not imply full resignation. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the role of immigrant populations, and on whether their youthful age pyramids and higher fertility would help lessen the anticipated consequences of Europe's subfertile, labour-short, ageing and declining populations (United Nations, 2001; Lutz and Scherbov, 2002; Teitelbaum, 2004). The debate has mainly focused on the rejuvenating effect of sustained entries of young adults, and less attention has been paid to the contribution of immigrant fertility, despite the fact that the proportion of children from foreign-born mothers is increasing significantly (Haug, Compton and Courbage, 2002).
In Spain, the immigration debate is relatively recent and has mainly focused on economic integration and social cohesion issues (Pérez Díaz et al., 2001; Colectivo IOÉ, 2002). However, Spain has had for several years one of the world's lowest fertility rates (less than 1.2 children per woman in the period 1995-1999) and has been singled by the United Nations as one of the countries with possibly the oldest age structure in the world in 2050 (United Nations, 2003). Therefore, the demographic impact of immigration is no longer absent from the debate. In particular, since the modest but sustained rise in fertility observed in recent years has coincided with an increase in immigration, this rise has been attributed to the presence of immigrant women (Instituto Nacional de Estadística, 2005). There are, however, important caveats concerning available evidence. How large is the fertility gap between foreign and Spanish women? Are conventional fertility rates appropriate to measure this gap? To what extent is the observed gap attributable to educational differentials? Are immigrants' childbearing patterns influenced by length of stay in the host country?
The existing literature has put forward different hypotheses to explain and predict the fertility patterns of immigrants (Kulu, 2005). Some authors suggest that the first generation of certain immigrant groups tend to maintain the reproductive norms and patterns of the country of origin (Abbasi-Shavazi and McDonald, 2002). A considerable number of studies support the adaptation hypothesis, which predicts that immigrants gradually adjust their reproductive behaviour to that of the host country (Andersson, 2004). Past research has also shown that convergence between the fertility patterns of migrants and those of the host country cannot be entirely attributed to behavioural change but also to the fact that migrants are a selected group of individuals, regarding education, marital status or parity, as well as other characteristics which are not as easily measured, such as work ethic and social mobility aspirations (Feliciano, 2005). …

Ron Paul may not be ahead in the polls, but he's probably the only presidential candidate who already has his face on a coin. The feds have seized a cache of gold, silver and copper "liberty dollars" bearing Paul's visage. Other than a mutual distaste for the Federal Reserve, the Republican candidate has no relationship with the makers of the coins.

Tech Archival is pleased to announce the addition of its newly published
study on Indian membrane separation technology market titled as 'India Membrane
Separation Technology: Assessment, Opportunities & Forecast Up-to 2018' to its
offering. This 150 page study comprehensively investigates the membrane
separation technology market & industry statistics in India with respect to
product statistics, market statistics, industry statistics, key drivers, trends,
challenges, threats, opportunities, company profiles, and economic profiles
among many more.
The growing awareness of the adverse effects of pollution, strict environmental
and regulatory framework, increasing population and depleting pure water
resources have created a situation of water scarcity globally. This has somehow
forced all stakeholders to examine modern technological possibilities and
implement advanced techniques to purify water. Increasing population numbers, a
changing climate, intensive industrial growth, and urbanization has undoubtedly
continued to make the issue of safe drinking water a key priority in almost
every part of the world, especially in developing economies such as China,
India, and Brazil etc. This outlook has positively augmented the demand for
advanced purification systems such as membrane separation technology in recent
In India, the scarcity of safe drinking water has been a long standing problem.
Just about 80 percent of diseases in India are caused by water born
microorganisms. With more and more global organizations setting up their
manufacturing base in India, the country is witnessing a huge demand for supply
and usage of pure water. The government is actively planning to increase
desalination projects along the coastal areas. The municipal sector is also
adopting advanced membrane technologies like reverse osmosis (RO), membrane bio
reactors (MBR) etc. to offer safe drinking water to citizens. Other stakeholders
including India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) along with several
state controlled pollution control boards are planning to enact stringent
regulations for water and wastewater treatment which has created a myriad of
opportunities for global membrane separation technology companies to increase
their presence in the country and gain benefits from the huge market potential.
Following these inputs, many large scale global companies have expanded their
presence in the Indian water market by 2013 including some big names such as
Pentair XFlow, GE Water, Aquatech, Siemens, Hyflux, Wabag, Degremont, among many
more. On the other hand, the market is also packed with the offerings of a large
number of local unorganized manufacturers which amount to as more as 500.
Tech Archival analysts further project that demand for membrane technology
systems will continue its positive growth right through 2018 when domestic
market value is anticipated to reach more than US$ 2.8 billion by 2018.
Companies discussed include: Pentair XFlow, IDE Technologies, Degremont, GE
Industrial, Siemens, Hyflux, Aquatech, VA Tech Wabag, Dow Chemical Company,
Thermax, Ion Exchange and Veolia Environnement

Things a modder (hacker) can do on GHOSTSGaming_Enthusiast Jan 16, 2014 11:57 AM
For starters they can force host. Once they force themselves to be host they have all kinds of power. They can grant abilities to just themselves, to individuals of their choice or to everybody in the lobby. Some of these abilities can be implemented in small enough increments to give a slight advantage to those they were granted to or in large enough increments to make it completely obvious to everyone in the lobby. These abilities include but aren't limited to jump height, speed, field of view and XP. Other abilities can still be granted to people the host chooses but they're either on or off. Some of these abilities are unlimited ammo, no recoil, steady aim and colored boxes that indicate where the opposing players are. This is a software based way of cheating where the software resides on the modders PC and communicates with his/her xbox. I've listened to interviews with theses hackers and they seem unstoppable at the moment and there seems to be quite a few of them. The have no concern about being banned due to the fact (according to them) they can unban themselves at will. They hide behind servers dedicated to this type of activity.
Another big thing now are the various attacks that hackers/cheaters can do for an advantage. These are the DDOS, DOS and DNS attacks. In very simple terms they flood your modem with information slowing you down thereby causing lag on your end. If they're host they can attack individual IP's. If they're not host they can attack the host IP.
Then of course there's the lag switch that probably needs no explanation.
I've had GHOSTS for a little over a month now and I've run into everything I mentioned above. From reading this forum I see a lot of members saying that they've only run into a cheater on a rare occasion or not at all. How do you know? For the people that have their suspicions when they see a character moving a little too fast or shooting with no recoil or seeming to know exactly where you are I say you may be on to something seeing as how these abilities can be implemented by cheaters. I personally think there's quite a few people involved in these activities in this game. I'm placed in undeniably modded lobbies a couple times a week. More often than that I'm placed in lobbies that I suspect to be slightly modded. Although, the majority of the time I think the lobbies are free of any modding. I witnessed a player get booted from the pregame lobby because he had a disagreement with another player. The player told him he was going to do it and when the booted player was midsentence he was gone. The player and his party laughed like it was cool and I got out of there quick. But, how many other players has that person and his party booted or DDOSed? I wonder.

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, an ooze is a type of creature. This category includes such monsters as slimes, jellies, deadly puddings, and similar mindless, amorphous blobs. They can be used by Dungeon Masters as enemies of the player characters. Many oozes dwell underground, and most secrete an acid from their skin that dissolves flesh and other materials rapidly. Oozes are essentially blind, but more than make up for that with an ability called "blindsight", which allows them to discern nearby objects and creatures without needing to see them visually.

This is my Red Eden's third year. I purchased it potted in late spring from a very reliable garden center. I gave it the same care as the rest of my roses. Good soil, food, water and fungicide.

It put out several buds during the summer but they balled. 2012 was a really bad year for roses in Kansas City with extremely hot days and little rain, which meant lots of city water just to keep things going.

I bought this rose in June of 2009 at a local plant sale. It was wrapped loosely in a piece of burlap and tied with twine. Not a very promising start. I planted it the same day in full sun with excellent soil and drainage, tied to a wrought iron fence that I want it to spill over. One 3' cane and a small withered bud that never opened was what I got last year. Coned and mulched for winter. This Spring it put out 1 nice bloom, I cut it back to a 5-leaf and it later sent out a 5-budded spray. Nice cupped and quartered blooms, deep red color, not much fragrance, clean deep green glossy foliage. I'll give a couple more years to see what happens.

Cable TV rates won't fall, and customer service won't suddenly be stellar. But some experts say Wisconsin consumers should be better off now that industry leader Comcast Corp. has trumped much smaller Charter Communications Inc.'s bid to take over Time Warner Cable Inc.
Comcast's planned $45.2 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable could even mean fewer Time Warner job losses in Wisconsin, said Barry Orton, a telecommunications professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Comcast has a fairly good track record in terms of customer service. They're not angels, by any means, and they make a ton of money, but they're at the head of the list of cable companies in public interest issues," Orton said.
A combined Comcast-Time Warner would have roughly 30 million U.S. customers. That reason, among several others, raises questions as to whether the friendly takeover bid — which came after months of public pursuit of Time Warner Cable by Charter — will pass the scrutiny of antitrust regulators.
But Comcast has clear advantages in the regulatory arena, Orton said.
"Comcast has a far stronger reputation nationally. It has a substantive lobbying and government relations operations in Washington, and Charter does not," he said.
In Wisconsin, Time Warner and Charter are the two biggest cable companies, covering much of the state with television and broadband Internet service. Comcast, by contrast, has a very small presence in the state, with coverage only in Manitowoc and parts of western Wisconsin.
To satisfy regulators, Comcast has proposed divesting about 3 million subscribers of the combined companies, equivalent to about one fourth of Time Warner Cable's 12 million customers. Whether the divestiture would include Time Warner's Wisconsin customers, possibly selling that business to Charter, remains to be seen.
Comcast's first priority will probably be keeping Time Warner's larger markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, said telecom analyst William Power with Robert W. Baird & Co.
Milwaukee would probably be somewhere in the middle of Comcast's priority list, Power said, although it could rank a little higher given that Comcast already has a strong presence in Chicago, including its northern suburbs.
Operating the southeast Wisconsin territory from Chicago could make sense logistically, but there are going to be many factors in the decision-making process, and it will take months to sort them out.
Time Warner Cable has about 2,000 employees in Wisconsin, and Charter has 1,900 employees in the state. Comcast has only a small number of workers here, so it wouldn't realize the cost savings through economies of scale that Charter could have realized by merging some of its operations with Time Warner, Orton said.
"I would be less worried about this deal, if I were a Time Warner employee in Wisconsin, than I would have been about the Charter deal," he said. "(Comcast) could potentially run the Milwaukee operations out of Chicago, and lose some of the Wisconsin headquarters folks here, but I kind of doubt it.
"For Time Warner Cable employees and subscribers, this is a white knight kind of deal as opposed to being acquired by Darth Vader."
Still needs federal OK
Comcast says it would like to complete the acquisition by the end of the year.
Power said the deal faces high hurdles from federal regulators and is far from certain. "I think the Justice Department and the FCC are going to want significant concessions," he said.
But Susan Crawford, a Harvard University Law School professor who follows the telecom industry, said it's unclear what role antitrust regulators will play.
"These guys were never going to compete with each other. They divided up the country a long time ago," she said.
If Comcast takes over Time Warner Cable, it could step up the competition with AT&T's U-verse television and Internet service, as well as with the satellite firms that provide television service.
Comcast says Time Warner Cable customers also will benefit from improved reliability of service, faster broadband and new services. The combined companies also would have more bargaining clout with advertisers and broadcasters that provide program content.
The combined companies expect to create $1.5 billion in operating savings, with 50% of those savings in the first year. If the acquisition comes to fruition, it would be the second time in a little more than a year that Comcast has changed the U.S. media landscape, after its $17 billion purchase of NBC Universal was completed in 2013.
Consumer advocates worry about the degree to which the proposed deal would consolidate power in the hands of Comcast in both cable television and broadband.
"It's hard to understand how this kind of concentrated market power ... is going to benefit consumers," Delara Derakhshani, policy counsel for Consumers Union, said in a Consumer Reports article.
Market power
Comcast would have unprecedented market power over consumers, and an unprecedented ability to exert its influence over channels or businesses that want to reach Comcast customers, according to Free Press, a consumer advocacy group that promotes affordable broadband service.
"In an already uncompetitive market with high prices that keep going up and up, a merger of the two biggest cable companies should be unthinkable. This deal would be a disaster for consumers and must be stopped," said Free Press President Craig Aaron.
"No one woke up this morning wishing their cable company was bigger or had more control over what they could watch or download. But that — along with higher bills — is the reality they'll face tomorrow unless the Department of Justice and the FCC do their jobs and block this merger. Stopping this kind of deal is exactly why we have antitrust laws. This deal would be the cable guy on steroids — pumped up, unstoppable and grasping for your wallet."

Some people go to law school not in the hope of making buckets of cash, but to bring justice to their communities. With long hours and low pay, being a government attorney is a noble pursuit. The catch is that some of these poor souls didn't know just how poor they'd actually be.
To that end, they certainly didn't expect that they'd be paid a lower salary than the courthouse custodian, and they had no clue that they'd be members of the working poor.
Which state is allowing entry-level government attorneys to live in squalor?
It's none other than Massachusetts, where government lawyers are so "grossly underpaid" that their livelihoods are "crippl[ing] them financially." How bad is it? Here's a relevant quote from a study performed by the Massachusetts Bar Association's Commission on Criminal Justice Attorney Compensation:
Sadly, the lowest paid person in a Massachusetts courtroom is a newly minted assistant district attorney. Working up from the bottom, the next lowest paid employee in the courthouse is the custodian. And the third lowest paid person in the courtroom is the public defender.
Here's a visual representation of how screwed ADAs and public defenders are in Massachusetts:
Court reporters are living high on the hog while the prosecutors whose arguments they're typing up are probably off their game because they haven't been able to afford a meal in a few days.
The Massachusetts Bar's Commission on Criminal Justice Attorney Compensation acknowledges that even if these people aren't in it for the money, "[t]hey do expect, and reasonably so, that their chosen career would compensate them sufficiently, such that they could pay off college and law school loans, afford to live away from their parents' homes, get married, buy a house, and raise a family." We'd go so far as to argue that all newly minted lawyers expect such luxuries, but sadly, there are few jobs that will allow the heavily indebted to lead normal lives, save for Biglaw, where entry-level attorneys are paid $160,000.
Here are two real-life horror stories to open your eyes a bit more on this issue. This is so sad:
The Mass Bar Association is recommending that starting salaries for these positions be raised to $55,000. If that doesn't happen, remember that you could have a more viable career sweeping courthouse floors.

From: Wellness Wonders,
If you're even slightly interested in beauty (and given that you're here, we're going to assume you are), you'll not have missed the rise of the BB cream phenomenon over the past couple of years. An all-in-one product that protects, conceals, illuminates and moisturises, 'blemish balm', 'beauty benefit' or 'beauty balm' creams headed this way when the West got wind of Korea's latest skincare secret. Originally used decades ago for protecting skin and concealing scars after laser treatments and surgery, it slowly made its way into the mainstream market and now barely a week goes by without another brand releasing its own version.
The multitasking products have been created by the likes of Garnier (the first in the UK), Bobbi Brown, Maybelline, Clinique and many more, all promising to give a flawless finish while defending the skin from the elements. But with so many popping up across the beauty spectrum, we decided to put a few to the test - here's how some of the leading brands fared under our critical eyes...
"At first I was worried this was far too pale for me, and when first putting it on I did look a little ghost-like but within five minutes it had been absorbed into the skin. It gave a light and slightly glossy finish, so I topped it off with mineral foundation just to keep the shine down, and it was very moisturising - so much so that it wouldn't be good for oil skin. The yellow undertones made sure there was no greyness to the skin and it looked natural once on.
"The downsides? You have to buy it via eBay and the like since it's a Korean brand and the colours are very pale - definitely no good for anyone with a slightly deeper skin tone. I did feel I could do with a bit more coverage and I'd prefer a higher SPF - I'll probably use this as a primer going forward and invest in one with higher protection." Skin79 BB Cream, from £11
"With pale skin that's prone to breakouts, a BB cream that covered blemishes while clearing up any possible new ones sounded almost too good to be true. Nicely thick in texture, this peachy toned BB cream felt more like a giant tube of creamy concealer and almost 'set' on my skin on contact - great for long days where some bases feel like they could almost slide off my face.
"By the end of the day, however, my skin felt slightly dry and slightly itchy. I'll definitely keep using this and it's a real bargain too, but I might have to spend on some hydrating spray or facial spritz to keep skin soft throughout the day or even mix it with my usual moisturiser. The BB cream kept shine at bay all day long, and the thick texture does deliver on covering up problem skins - it worked perfectly at covering up small red patches." Witch BB Cream, available in Boots and Superdrug, £6.99
"I really liked this, but it's not as smooth as a moisturiser would be so you can get lines where the tint doesn't quite blend in. I would have preferred heavier coverage to conceal under-eye bags and pimples, but that said I do prefer the dewy look rather than a thick foundation so I'm glad it was fairly light on the skin.
"I'm not sure if it was a coincidence, but since I started using it my skin has cleared up, though this could also be because I stopped using a heavy moisturiser while testing it out. It's very much like a tinted moisturiser and the scent was lovely - though it wasn't the easiest to blend and not a patch on my Chanel foundation, I would happily use it again." Sanctuary BB Cream, £14.99
"I love the range of colours provided by Gosh - there's pretty much something for most skin tones whether fair or dark which is new for the BB cream genre, and I've noticed the brilliant colours resonate through their products. However, I did feel that GOSH's BB cream didn't provide enough coverage for my skin. The product was too sheer to use as anything other than a tinted moisturiser which is great for clear skin tones, but my skin is slightly uneven with occasional blemishes so needs something more dense. It might just be down to my skin type, as a colleague with drier skin used a lighter shade and loved it!
"It did provide a great finish, but applying it liberally eventually produced a rather caked-on look rather than a flawless finish. I'd still recommend it - it's great as a base for a sheer, summery look but you'll want to apply your own concealer or blemish sticks on top for flawless coverage." GOSH BB Cream is available exclusively from Superdrug, £9.99
"Of all the BB creams I've seen arriving on the shelves, this is the one that I was most excited about. Disappointed by the low SPF and poor coverage of the initial UK offerings, I was looking forward to trying out the Dr Jart+ version as its journey began in Korea where the trend initially sparked. Most impressive is the range - there are four creams on offer which cater to different skin types - and it's about time given that so far the products on the market have been accused of assuming 'one type fits all'. The differing products target dryness, excess sebum, dullness and ageing, so you can pick what you need most. I tried the Premium version which is best for anti-ageing.
"The packaging is gorgeous - it looks like a soft tube but it actually has hard casing and a pump top. I was surprised to see it had an iridescent, almost mauve tone to it while also looking quite dark, which given I have fair skin worried me a little. However, once blended onto the face, I was amazed - the cream melted in and matched my skin tone perfectly. It felt like a really rich moisturiser, and instantly brightened my face. It only gave light coverage, but that was fine for me as I hate heavy foundations; best of all it didn't irritate my very sensitive skin and is SPF40 so I know it's protecting it too. Definitely the best BB I've tried, though I'm keen to give the Regenerating cream a go next as it's probably better suited to my age." Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF40

DH came home, from work, and we were both hungry and ended up goign to walmart at 11:30. I bought two of the most delicious flavors of ben and jerrys(i'm currently eating coffee heath bar crunch).
Then on the way home we saw, i'm not exaggerating, 11 deer all together on the side of the road eating from this giant pile of hay.
Great way to end my night!
