Hairdresser's shock at second burglary (From This Is Wiltshire)
Hairdresser's shock at second burglary
5:30am Friday 7th February 2014 in By Mike Benke, @Michael_Benke
AN OLD Town hair salon has been targeted by thieves for the second time in just over two months.
The owner of What Women Want in Victoria Road arrived at the shop yesterday to find the door broken and the place ransacked.
It is believed the burglars took more than £1,000 worth of stock as well as several charity tins for charity Prostate Cancer UK.
In December more than £1,600 in cash destined for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer UK was taken during a charity event.
Owner Hayley Whatton, 35, said she was shocked when she first arrived yesterday morning and that feeling soon turned into frustration.
She said: "When I arrived in the morning I saw the door had been forced. As soon as I walked in I could see everything had been taken.
"They have cleared out everything on the shelves behind the till and got into the store room at the back.
"I'm just angry and can't believe we have been burgled again.
"The police have footprints this time though, so hopefully we can catch them.
"I need to buy in more stock again but as of Friday we will be open as normal."
The first time the salon was burgled they were holding a charity hair cutting session and went for a break in the middle of the night.
When they returned a few hours later all the money they had raised was gone.
Despite her determination to open today, Hayley is having doubts over the long term future of the salon.
"To be honest I'm thinking about packing it in," she said. "This is the second time we have been hit and it's just so disappointing.
"There is the financial aspect of having to replace everything and seemingly start again. I don't know if I want to carry on."
Police attended to the scene and did a forensic sweep of the premises to hunt for clues.
A spokesman said: "We received a call from the owner shortly after 9.20am on Thursday after reports of a break in overnight.
"It appears they forced their way in through the front door and carried out an untidy search, taking some stock with them.
"We would appeal for anyone in the Victoria Road area on Wednesday night or the early hours of Thursday morning who might have seen something to contact us on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

I question £1600 ???? seems a lot of money to fit in a small charity tin or two that if you have ever collected normally gets filled with copper with the odd £1 and foreign coin chucked in to boot... Just saying. Why did they not invest in a burglar alarm etc........
In any event, the people/person that done it first time were probably known to the police and got away with it so why not have another pop? Again even if they are caught they will get a smack across the hand and sent on their way.
I feel for these ladies. They are just trying to run a business. I do hope that the scum don't put them off and they continue. It would be a shame to have another empty shop.

The Gatorskin is a durably tough tire that can be used for everyday commuting. But, it was also designed to perform from the concrete jungles to the weekend road races.
Continental has many types of tires for all types of terrain. Need something more worth on the trails? Check out the rest of the Continental Tires.
700x23c, 700x25c
Threads Per Inch
PolyX Breaker
110 - 120psi
220g (700x23c), 240g (700x25c)
This has been a great set of tires. The 28 has really changed my bike, especially for the back roads that I call home. I was having quite a bit of trouble with flats with my old set of tires and I have not flatted since I went with the Gatorskins
On my second set of these tires. Great longevity on the tire tread.
It's a great training tire, and also holds up well when the occasional gravel road needs to be rode. The tread lasts a long time, and actually rolls good. The only complaint I have, and this is with all Continental road tires I have used, is the bead/sidewall threads that start unraveling after some wear.
I've been riding for 23 years, racing for 10 and have had lots of flats. 5 years ago I flatted on the road bike for a month or so with annoying regularity. It didn't seem to matter what wheel set I used, or what tires. I decided to try Continental Gatorskin tires, wore out a few sets, and road 15,000 miles without a flat. They are lightweight, stand up to gravel roads, railroad tracks, and road construction areas that used to concern me. I wouldn't consider any other tire for daily riding, training or touring. I no longer race,although if I had a 40k road race to do, I would depend on these great tires.
I only use this tire. They typically last me about 1000-2000 miles depending whether it is mounted on the front or the back. I'm on my third set and I typically replace 1-2 each season. They are much softer to ride when at full pressure than armadillos and lighter. I had one set that gave me 5 flats in the first two weeks: my fault with pinch flats hitting road debris while under inflated. I found that buying tubes with better valve seals (more money) running new tubes instead of patched ones along with running at full pressure (115-120 psi) all the time really has stopped the flats. I've only had two or three flats in the years since and usually only when the cords are showing and under inflated and hit a rock or pothole at 20+ mph. That is hard to blame on the tire. I used to run racing tires and I was always patching thorn holes or glass. The gatorskins stopped that. Be sure to keep them pumped up and you should be good to go.
this thing is tough. I prefer to not ride with a saddle bag hanging off my seat rails. this tire makes that possible. it is a little heavier, but it does in fact provide the protection that one needs on the commutes around town, or on the occasional century. the grip provided isn't bad at all.
This really has proven to be a durable tire. I run them on my cross/commuter about 100 miles per week and they are not letting me down. I run through gravel and broken glass all the time and with the miles piling up they are hanging tough. They are nowhere near as fast or smooth as the Michilins I have on the road bike, but those skinny roady tires would be dead twice over by now....these are a good value.
I was probably one of the unlucky ones. I only was able to use it once then I noticed that the side lip bulged, I had to replace it right away before it will give me trouble during my ride

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- As President Obama continues to make his case for a strike on Syria, protesters on both sides of the debate are converging on Capitol Hill. There are are three simultaneous protests taking place.
The biggest protest started about two hours ago outside the White House. Approximately 200 people protested President Obama's plan to launch military strikes in Syria. Most of the people are Syrian-Americans who say they do not support the Assad regime or his alleged use of chemical weapons. But they also do not support any U.S. military action in Syria.
From the White House, these protesters marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and are now gathering on Capitol Hill.
*If you're viewing this on our iPad app, click VIDEO then choose photo option.
According to a new poll by CNN, nearly 6 in 10 Americans agree with these protesters. They think Congress should NOT authorize military action in Syria, but there's also plenty of people on the other side.
They're were expected to start rallying about half-an-hour ago.
There's a real push on both sides to try to sway public opinion before the President's address to the nation Tuesday night.

More than 15,000 children are currently in the Pennsylvania foster care system. Many of these children will eventually be put up for adoption. Agencies are constantly looking out for loving families to take in these vulnerable kids. A foster parent must provide food, shelter, clothing and school supplies. These potential foster parents are put through a vigorous background check as agencies strive to find a safe and loving environment for these disconnected children.
But these safeguards weren't always in place.
In fact, it's pretty scary to see what Pennsylvania once did with its orphans…
To think of a child being paraded and displayed like a side of beef in front of adults is a hard pill to swallow, yet between 1854 and 1929 that is exactly what happened to many city orphans. Children of varying ages were put on board an Orphan train and sent out west to poor rural families, who often needed a work hand on the farm or just couldn't have a child of their own. These children were put on exhibition for the town folk and then handed over to complete strangers. Some children had good lives, but others weren't so lucky and ended up as runaways.
ORPHAN TRAIN by author Christina Baker Kline tells the harrowing story of Vivian Daly, who rode the Orphan Train to an uncertain future in Minnesota, 1929. With little regard to her feelings, Vivian's new family changes her name from Niamh to Dorothy as simply as if she were a new pet. Vivian is forced to work like a seamstress and loses any sense of any true childhood or family life. Alone, she must face the obstacles that come her way, including rivalry in the workplace. Then jump to 2011. Trouble teen Molly Ayer is a foster child, who has been through the pain of losing her family and getting lost in the system. Now in trouble with the law, Molly has to work community hours cleaning out an attic for an elderly woman, who has storages of hidden treasures tainted with a painful past.
Although this book takes place in 1929, little has changed over the years. Orphans are created every day. When a parent fail to maintain a safe environment for their child, the state often has to step in and take over for these parents. This can be a confusing time for a child. The pain of separation or anxiety of placement is a hardship these kids must endure. But it's a necessary evil to protect a child from an abusive or neglectful parent. The hope is to rehabilitate the parent or find a relative for long term placement.
But the sad truth is many children end up returning to the foster care system.

Trucks at the PalaceWritten by on April 28, 2004 Custom Classic Trucks at San Francisco Show
The famous Oakland Roadster Show is now called the Grand National Roadster Show -- we're sure you've heard of its 55-year-long heritage. Over the past decade, what was the Oakland Roadster Show has gone through changes in ownership and locations, from the Oakland Coliseum, to its parking lot, to downtown San Francisco, to the Cow Palace, to San Mateo, and finally to the Pomona Fairgrounds this year. We have reported that the Grand National Roadster show will stay in Pomona for 2005 and the near future.
Several years ago, Rick Perry, long associated with Show Promotions and the late Donald Tognotti, reintroduced a hot rod and custom car show in the Oakland Coliseum. The area's car lovers warmly embraced the Oakland Rod, Custom, and Motorcycle Show. Last year, Perry announced this show would also move to the Cow Palace. With more than 300,000 square feet and a 10-year, dates-locked-in contract, the show will become the San Francisco Rod, Custom, and Motorcycle Show.
Perry and family have been deep in San Francisco Bay Area car shows for decades and were determined to continue the tradition of a Bay Area custom car show. Plus, the opportunity to keep a hot rod and custom car show alive for the next generation brings a good deal of satisfaction to Rick Perry and certain pleasure to Bay Area showgoers. The famous Oakland Roadster Show has evolved, as many business ventures do. But with Perry's show slogan, "You have to go to San Francisco to see Oakland," we can rest assured that the new show's future is in good hands.
The Cow Palace has been home to many major car shows in decades past, including the 50th Grand National Roadster show, and now thanks to Perry and family, and the tradition-aware management of the facilities, we're certain this show has found a good home and will go on for many years to come. With our visit to this inaugural event, we were very excited about the reestablishment of a permanent Bay Area location to showcase fantastic custom classic trucks. For the 2005 dates, check out www.rpprodinc.com, and start making plans now.

Doing their part to liven up the streets of Boring, Oregon, Alan and Pennie Shaw put the torch to the fenders of their '51 Chevy. An equally hot B&M blown small-block provides the go to backup the show.Hey! Heat is Neat, would be a good slogan for the custom classic truck movement in this decade. Dave Brandt's '54 Ford F-100 has a nicely toasted look, applied by What It Is Body and Paint, right down the road from Dave in Pacifica.We don't remember '34 Dodge pickups looking anywhere this sweet. Bill Osiakowski picked the perfect set of wheels and tires -- painted wires, beauty rings, and wide whites -- to make his San Jose-based classic, called Jessica Rabbit, hop and pop.It's cool how Willys made pickups in 1941. In addition to the famous gasser coupe body-style, Dennis English now has the best of both worlds -- a flaming hot drag car and immaculate pickup to haul hiney around Novato, California.We used to make cars and trucks appear wide like this with new car photos, a ruler, and a razor blade. Fremont's Angel Miranda did much the same thing to his '55 Chevy, but Angel probably used a Sawzall and plenty of blades.From the rear, we can see a great deal of additional metal messaging beyond the sectioning. Look at Angel's truck and imagine a stock bed, tailgate, and fenders, not to mention the great taillights. We'd love to do a feature on it and go over all the changes.%??%?picture this truck in a faded ugly green with the bed full of junk on its way to the dumps? It takes the imagination of folks like Jim and Kathy Sylvia from Antioch, California, to visualize a '35 Ford flatbed looking this good and then create it.In great contrast to the Sylvia's '35, we have the '36 of Half Moon Bay's Ryan Whelen. Ryan dropped a Chevy LS1 engine and 4L60-E trans in to make his pickup haul. The shop, What It Is, also created this beauty.
OK, here's one big and unusual truck. A '37 Dodge COE to fit both categories. But Don "Doc" Kinsfather's goes over the edge. Anybody want a hot dog? Step right up.We hope you love a good mystery, because we have no idea what "Doc" started with, just that Getz Hot Rod Innovations in Hampshire, Illinois, equipped it with a Dodge 440, 727 TorqeFlite, and a Gear Vender OD. Just plain awesome.The 100 MINT '56 Ford F-100 Pro Street show truck is a pleasure to see again this year. Mitch and Dina Stevens chose tasteful teal colors for their BDS-blown 350 Chevy-powered gem from coastal El Granada.We thought you might enjoy a peek under the hood of Stevens' F-100 and see this Effie's engine compartment; it's stuffed with more horsepower than a P-38 Lightning.Richard Riner, from Oakdale, owns this cute '58 Morris Minor woody turned delivery. Richard's Bad Minor woodie has the goods to defeat the neighborhood kids with a heavy foot, if they're crazy enough to challenge him.Forget cute, this thing is a mini monster.

These small English cars originally came with an estimated 65 horses.Atascadero's Butch Haisman tools around in this very straight '29 Ford closed-cab pickup. These popular street rod trucks look great in black, or yellow, or red, or orange, or green.Steve Scott sneaked in set-up afternoon with his headers wide open, twisting more than a few necks. The Sacramento-based '48 Chevy is always popular with the spectators. Note the suicide doors.
From Castro Valley, California, comes Joe Sledge with his mellow yellow '62 Chevy Twuck. Running a '69 Chevy 396ci V-8, Turbo 400 trans, and Mustang II front end with air all around, this rig is a real tweat to see.Perry included room for suede customs and Rat rods, where we found this '57 Chevy flamed suede Tri-Five hauler. The visor, spots, wheel covers with wide whites, and skirts give it the look.One Lo Seventy Fo, built from the frame up by Justin Duncan, features a 350/350, full air ride over a 9/11 drop, and a 145 db stereo, plus, more flames. You may remember it was the CCT cover truck for December 2002.Technically a car, this handbuilt '29 Ford woody tub could very easily be used to haul your gear as well as any truck, unless of course, it's raining.How about this incredibly trick power-operated license plate on Bill Osiakowski's very cool '34 Dodge? Can you figure out what he's done here? Check out the feature in CCT's Mar. '04 issue.

CONYERS, Ga. -- After more than a week at Grady Hospital, the mother of 4 children killed in a tragic Conyers fire earlier this month has been released.
She now faces an uncertain future and is in seclusion and not speaking to the media.
Fire Officials say Reeba Glass had no working smoke alarms in her home at the time of the fire.
To make sure this tragedy does not happen again, our 11Alive Help Desk partnered with First Alert to get new smoke alarms into as many Metro Atlanta homes as possible.
The effort started in Conyers as Rockdale Fire-Rescue Teams canvassed neighborhood homes.
The Team started on Pinedale Circle where the fire occurred and were shocked by a discovery made in an apartment right next door to where the children died.
They took the old smoke detector off the wall and could not believe it.
"We found that it was manufactured in 1998 and was over 10 years old. When we took the detector off the wall, there was no battery in it," said Michael Morris of Rockdale Fire/Rescue.
To make sure homes throughout Metro Atlanta have new alarms or existing ones with new batteries, the 11Alive Help Desk has partnered with First Alert to secure 5-thousand free smoke alarms that are now available to County Fire Departments, and through them to homeowners.
Getting two of those alarms, another next door neighbor on Pinedale Circle, Rosa Daniel.
What she saw next door on the night of January 8th was an alarming wake up call.
"It was really close to home because I knew them and it meant I had to take extra precautions for protection and to make sure that my home was safe," Daniel said.
"To me it's very important because I have had two fires in my apartment, not this one," Daniels added.
Working smoke detectors and knowing how to get out of the house in case of fire are top priorities for homeowners, County and City Fire Departments and the 11Alive Help Desk.
The goal--every home and family protected.

John Gibbons Media Session: August 4
Coming back home
Bench coach John Gibbons was asked to update the media on the how his manager and friend Trey Hillman is doing, and when we can expect him back. "He is doing just fine, we are all behind him and look forward to him coming back tomorrow at some point. I will be managing the game tonight against the Mariners," Gibbons said. The KC skipper had to unexpectedly fly home to Texas on Sunday after the game, for what has only been described as "an emergency back home". We hope all is well and send our best wishes to Trey and the entire Hillman family.

I am a disabled veteran from the Iraq war and I found my greatest solace after returning home and having trouble walking and standing to be shooting pool. Shooting pool was the greatest thing that helped me to advance in my recovery. I used a 4K-4 cue,a z-2 shaft , a 314 fat shaft,a z shaft and a BK-2 with the sport grip in a black Vincitore black leather cue case.The cues were my saving grace as it and I were as one and I would spend time on end standing and walking around the table shooting pool which actually helped me to regain strength and courage to continue instead of giving up.
The situation took a turn for the worse when my case containing my cues was stolen while I was in the bathroom. I am unable to replace them due to my now very limited income. Or to offer any kind of significant reward. Please keep your eyes open for them.

FERGUSON Mo (Reuters) – Bob McCulloch is in a difficult situation.
As St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, McCulloch is responsible for deciding whether to pursue criminal charges against the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Mike Brown on Saturday outside a low-income apartment complex in Ferguson, Missouri.
The shooting of the unarmed black teenager sparked days of rioting and protests in Ferguson and surrounding communities and some residents say the mostly white ranks of local and county law enforcement officials are not objectively investigating the case.
McCulloch, 63, has held the top county prosecutor's job for 23 years and has promised an impartial investigation of Brown's death. But protesters say McCulloch, whose police officer father was killed in the line of duty when McCulloch was a child, should be removed from the case.
"I don't trust Bob McCulloch," community activist Anthony Shahid said as he helped lead a march by roughly 100 people at the St. Louis County Justice Center this week. "His father was killed by a black man."
A meeting arranged between a group of the protesters and McCulloch was canceled Tuesday after the two sides could not agree to the terms, said Edward Magee, a spokesman for McCulloch.
The prosecutor declined to be interviewed but Magee said the accusations of bias against McCulloch are unfounded.
"He has been involved in these type of cases before and has always been fair and open and will continue to be," Magee said.
Last month, McCulloch's office filed charges against a St. Louis County police officer for assaulting a 24-year-old man with a baton. The officer was black but St. Louis County has brought criminal charges against several police officers, both black and white, in the past, Magee said.
McCulloch is not known to shy away from controversy. In 2001 he was criticized heavily but stood behind comments that two men fatally shot by a police officer and federal drug agent were "bums" who were killed during an attempted arrest.
As a child, McCulloch wanted to be a police officer like his father but decided to pursue a career as a prosecutor after losing his right leg to cancer in high school, according to a profile in the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
McCulloch is well respected by colleagues across the state, said Matt Selby, president of the Missouri Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, and is frequently called on to help in difficult cases.
"Personally, he is basically above reproach," Selby said. "He has a vast amount of experience. But you can't be in the jobs we are in and not have people complaining."
McCullough is up for re-election this year and on Aug. 5 handily won his first primary challenge since 1998.
The married father of four grew up in St. Louis and earned his undergraduate and law degree from St. Louis University, according to media profiles. He was a clerk for the Missouri Court of Appeals before becoming an assistant prosecuting attorney in St. Louis County in 1978.
Protesters have demanded the name and other information about the officer involved in Brown's shooting as well as more details about how many shots were fired and why the officer used deadly force. But McCulloch's office and local and county police have so far refused to identify the officer, other than to say he had served for six years on the Ferguson police force.
One witness, Dorian Johnson, who was walking with Brown at the time, has said in media interviews that Brown put his hands in the air and was not struggling with the officer. He said the officer fired multiple times into Brown's head and chest. The police officer said Brown was going for his gun when he was shot, according to authorities.
St. Louis County police detectives are preparing a detailed report on the matter, which they plan to deliver to McCulloch in roughly two weeks, officials said. The prosecutor will then evaluate if criminal charges are appropriate.
Officials say the protests and lack of trust in authorities is delaying the investigation and in a news conference Wednesday McCulloch pleaded for more witnesses to come forward. "We are in still the information gathering part of the investigation," he said.
"One thing that I have pledged is that we will do a full, fair, complete and impartial investigation into this. Nothing will be left untouched. But if we can't get that information in it doesn't do anybody any good."
President Barack Obama on Thursday said that police should respect protesters after four nights of racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, over the recent police killing of an unarmed black teenager.
"There is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting," Obama said a televised remarks.
"There's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protesters or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights," he said, speaking to the press from Edgartown, Massachusetts near where he is vacationing with his family.
Governor Jay Nixon on Thursday also told community members at a church in the St. Louis area that "over the next few hours we are going to be making some shifts so that people will be … safe." He did not specify what his steps would be made.
The U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the St. Louis County prosecutor's office are all investigating Brown's death.

Installing Holley Dual Throttle Bodies - Computer-Controlled Hemi?Written by on March 1, 2002 Old-School Cubic Inches Meet New-School Fuel Management
By their very nature, hot-rodders have a habit of not leaving well enough alone. Despite the engineering and design work that goes into O.E.M. product development, we can always rebuild it and make it stronger, right? For some, this is a relentless pursuit of perfecting an already good platform. For others, it's doing what nobody else has done before, wanting to be different. Then there are guys like Mike Staveski, who runs a quality restoration shop in Hudson, Florida, called Time Machines Auto Restorations. Several years ago, Mike and his father, Ray, built a Challenger convertible show car using a V10/A518 tranny combination. Since that sort of swap has become more common recently, they decided it was time to "renew" the high-tech E-Body retro style. This would be in the form of a '70 vintage 426 Hemi sporting dual throttle bodies in place of the factory's twin AFB Carter outfit.
Twin throttle bodies on a Hemi? Nobody in the aftermarket offered this as an option yet, and moreover, the retro-tech outfit would need to fit on both the intake and into a Shaker-style baseplate. The idea was to develop a package that could be simply interchanged with the AFB's so that anybody from a street warrior to the concours crowd could use it and swap back to the carbs if needed.
Working closely with engineers from Holley, two new Holley throttle bodies were installed on a special spacer plate made by Time Machines that allowed [Mike] to create a well-thought-out combination resulting in the ultimate in street-ability and performance. We recently had a first-hand look at the science and are spilling the beans here. The folks at Holley are currently further researching the final kit, and you'll be able to order the necessary non-Holley components from Time Machines. This deal is cool.
(727) 869-9577
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The critical link between the engine's intake and the twin throttle bodies is this adapter plate made by Time Machines, which will allow the use of OE Shaker air cleaners and fresh air systems with a custom baseplate.Here is the main difference. This shot shows the left throttle body with the fuel regulator installed, while the throttle body on the right has the regulator removed and blocked with a fabricated plate. Both throttle bodies need to have the plate installed and an external regulator used.(A) Since the bodies need to act as a single unit in many regards, the air idle control must be tapped and plugged on the rear throttle body. The throttle position switch on this unit can be removed since it's not needed. The front TB sensors work the system. (B) Grease on the tap will help keep the metal shavings from entering the sensitive throttle body by keeping them in the flutes of the tap.Once installed on the intake plate, the throttle-cable bracket is bolted to the rear throttle body. Since the computer will regulate flow to both throttle bodies, this system doesn't need to be progressive.The throat opening on the throttle bodies are 5 inches in diameter while the AFB carbs were only 4 inches. Therefore, an aftermarket fiberglass Shaker base-like this example from Year One-needs to be modified to fit.During the initial development, spacers (cut from an empty hand-cleaner jug) were added on top of the throttle bodies to put the Shaker at the proper height. In this image, fuel lines using fittings and hose from Earl's are also being installed.Next, the wiring is routed from the interior (where we mounted the control boxes) to the throttle bodies. To mount the controllers inside the car, drill a hole in the firewall. However, the Holley boxes are weatherproof, so the boxes can be mounted elsewhere under the hood or fender if so desired.
One important aspect of EFI is fuel pressure. This Holley fuel-pressure regulator is mounted on the back of the passenger-side head. The inlet is connected from the fuel tank. One of the outlets leads to the throttle bodies and the other bypasses back to the tank via a pre-existing line.Since the Challenger resides in Florida, the factory heat tube from the exhaust manifold to the top of the engine isn't required. Therefore, a plate was made for the installation of the O2 sensor. If you live in cooler climates, the sensor can be mounted farther back in the exhaust.Connect the wire harness into the throttle bodies and tuck them out of the way. When the Shaker scoop is installed, this wiring is unnoticeable.For proper feeding, a Holley electric fuel pump is installed as close to the tank as possible, along with a filter before the pump.
John from Time Machines (the brains behind this endeavor) loads the computer with a base system from Holley. He then plugs his laptop into the Commander 9000 module. With the Hemi running, John can adjust the fuel trim and the all of the timing and ignition functions operated by the Commander 9000. Holley has complete instructions on how this equipment works.Here is the base with the enlarged openings. Hard to tell if you didn't know what it should look like, huh?

Shock To The Systems
The Lakers went from the Princeton offense to the spread pick-and-roll. The Clippers simply hand the ball off to Chris Paul. Kevin Arnovitz »
DWIGHT HOWARD IS ready to "reset."
The 30-year-old center has seen his public image and reputation sour in the back half of his 12-year career. Now, with an opportunity to opt out of the $23.2 million final year of his contract with the Houston Rockets looming on July 1, he says he is looking to turn the page.
Howard sat down for an exclusive interview with ESPN.com to discuss that, his past and future in Houston; his messy exit from Orlando; why he doesn't take any elbow jumpers, and more.
ESPN: Most people believe you will opt out of your contract with Houston on July 1. Are you leaning that way?
Howard: "To be honest, I have had some conversations with close friends on what would happen if I do opt out. But I haven't really come out and said, 'I'm going to opt out and do this and that.' I just can't focus on that right now. We didn't have the kind of season we wanted, and I didn't have the kind of season I wanted and it was really upsetting to me. So my thinking is, 'I'm going to get in the gym, get my body right and when the playoffs are over take a look at everything.' As much as it may seem crazy or unbelievable that I'm not thinking about it, every time I do think about it, my mind starts racing back and forth. I don't need that kind of pressure right now. My agent (Perry Rogers) is smart. He's done this for years. Let him worry about the teams and the [contract] numbers."
ESPN: You mentioned your season in Houston didn't end the way you wanted. You have also admitted you were "disinterested" during parts of the year. Why was that?
Howard: "There were times I was disinterested because of situations that happened behind the scenes that really hurt me. It left me thinking, 'This is not what I signed up for.'"
ESPN: What specifically are you referring to?
Howard: "I felt like my role was being reduced. I went to [Rockets general manager] Daryl [Morey] and said, 'I want to be more involved.' Daryl said, 'No, we don't want you to be.' My response was, 'Why not? Why am I here?' It was shocking to me that it came from him instead of our coach. So I said to him, 'No disrespect to what you do, but you've never played the game. I've been in this game a long time. I know what it takes to be effective.'"
Morey declined comment.
ESPN: Some of your teammates in Houston didn't appreciate your "disinterest.'' Any regrets on how you handled it?
Howard: "My friends kept telling me, 'Even if you aren't getting shots, there are so many other things you can control while you are on the floor.' And they were right. I allowed not getting the ball to affect me. That's on me. As a big, someone who has been the focal point of the team, who is still young, who still has some great years in front of me, you run the floor, you sprint as hard as you can, you duck in, and still, you don't get the ball. It brings you down. It sucks the energy out of you. I had long conversations with people close to me who said, 'Dwight, this is going to make you look bad. Don't keep doing this.' So I listened to them."
Three of the NBA's top four offensive teams have one thing in common: incredible talents as their primary ball handler.
The Warriors, Thunder and Cavaliers -- who ranked first, second and fourth, respectively, this regular season -- boast a "who's who" of brilliant scorers and playmakers.
The Spurs, meanwhile, finished third with a heavy dose of 3-pointers but without multiple perimeter drivers and scorers to get them those looks.
Just follow this map:
By getting to the middle of the floor, the Spurs can take advantage of whatever the defense is trying to take away. Both corners are one pass away. As are both wings and the top of the court. That is not the case when driving at an angle below the block.
The worst angle the Spurs take, in terms of points per chance, is when they drive to the rim from the left. That's because they have just one left-handed player, and Manu Ginobili, 38, is not the finisher he once was.
But even when they angle from the right, they still drive middle using their left hands. It sets up the 3s that have been so crucial to their success, and it also creates better attack angles from the wing area. Defenses will over-commit to preventing those middle drives, giving the right-handed drives a better line to the rim.
In their second-round series against the Thunder, the Spurs are getting to the spots they want often enough but still have to make shots and drive the ball.
OKC's size inside is influencing those finishes at the rim, and the Spurs' best mid-range shooter, LaMarcus Aldridge, has made 22 of his 60 shots (36.7 percent) in the last three games after shooting 33 of 44 (75 percent) in the first two games.
When the Spurs get to the middle, they have chances at the rim. If the Thunder take them away, they kick the ball out to shooters. And if those shooters are closed out "hot," guys like Aldridge are left open as the clock winds down.
It's a make-or-miss league, as coaches say, and that adage will likely be evident in Thursday's Game 6.
When LeBron James plowed through a foul from Paul Millsap to finish a cutting layup late in the fourth quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 1 win over the Atlanta Hawks, observers on Twitter reacted as they had countless times before. "He's too strong," "He's not human," and "How does he do that" were common refrains among fans on Twitter, as the Cavaliers star managed to compose himself in midair to score the basket despite the contact and head to the free throw line for the first time in the game, putting the Cavs up by seven in a game they went on to win by 11.
I can't speak to his humanity -- though there's no evidence to suggest that he's not a member of the human race -- but as for how he does that, that's a slightly easier question to answer. It's the product of hard work, and specific work, the kind of which few get to see, and even fewer have gotten to experience. I happen to be one of those few.
Now, to be clear, I am not LeBron James. I can slip on his size 50, +4 length jersey and lace up his signature LeBron XIII sneakers, but that doesn't make me the Cavaliers star. And while I might tip the scales the same as the four-time MVP's listed weight, he has a good 10 inches on me -- and his weight is mostly muscle, mine is decidedly not. So it's safe to say when I step onto a basketball court, no one is going to confuse me with the 12-time All-Star. But for one day at All-Star Weekend, I got a chance to feel what it was like to be LeBron James on a basketball court, thanks to Nike's "Bring Your Game" workout program. It gave me incredible insight into how he gets his body and game ready for those powerful finishes at the basket that leave fans in awe.
James takes a lot of punishment during a game. He's averaging 6.5 free-throw attempts per game this season -- good for 15th in the league -- and that doesn't account for all the times he drives to the rim into contact without earning a whistle. Since he came into the league in 2003-04, no player has attempted more free-throws than James (8,221 in the regular season).
More than just getting to the line, James' ability to finish through contact is unparalleled, as he demonstrated again Monday night. But despite James' obvious natural talents, that kind of finishing ability doesn't come without hard work, much of which came in the form of resistance band training, the biggest focus of the LeBron-designed workout. It started with building upper-body strength in every direction by pushing or pulling against a resistance band.
I was skeptical of why this was part of the workout rather than more traditional weight lifting. Then, I started doing it. The side-to-side twists in particular mimicked the motion of creating space with a defender draped all over you, without the added physical stress of actually having an opponent hitting you during practice; a workout specifically designed to prepare you for a beating without actually making you take one. And for someone who has played more than 2,500 minutes more than any other player over the past six seasons, avoiding unnecessary added stress on his body is critical.
After finishing the core portion of the workout, I had to crossover dribble through a rope ladder for about 15 feet, then drive to the basket and finish a layup, all while having someone pulling against me with the band the entire time. The first time I went up for one of these layups, I knew exactly how it felt to do so with a defender pulling you down, doing anything he can to keep you from drawing an and-1. And as difficult as it was to do so from the right side, it was exponentially harder from the left. And the workout featured both sides equally -- which is why James is just as comfortable driving and finishing in either direction in crunch time. Doing this specific exercise time and time again showed me just how much work James puts into what looks like just a natural ability in a game -- and reminded me that I really need to work on my left hand.
James does this specific workout at a speed and intensity I couldn't possibly match, just to prepare him for situations like the end of Game 1, where the difference between finishing a layup and just going to the line for two free throws -- where James is shooting just 73.1 percent for the season and 74.4 percent for his career -- can mean the difference between winning and losing.
I'm never going to win a game by finishing through a Paul Millsap foul, absorbing the contact while somehow juggling the ball in midair before putting it in the basket. But having been through that workout showed that even someone as talented as James needs to put in an incredible amount of work before stepping onto the court. And even when I put those sneakers on now, I still know I'm not LeBron James -- and not just because my size 11 feet would slide right out of his size 15 sneakers.
In early April, news that Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey would be evaluated at season's end along with interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff opened the door for opponents of analytics to be critical of the situation in Houston.
Morey has been vocal in his belief that analytics help teams make smarter basketball decisions. With the Rockets struggling to make the playoffs this season and putting up little fight against a Warriors team dealing with Stephen Curry's injury situation, it's to be expected that vultures would strike. The Charles Barkleys of the world can continue arguing that Morey's lack of a championship during his tenure is proof that analytics do not work in basketball. But those sentiments aren't worth worrying about anymore. (Note: I know Daryl and he has always been very generous to me, so I do have personal concern for him and his family.)
It is not that the vultures won't be out -- they will be out in force. But using analytics in NBA front offices and on the benches is essentially a settled matter. Those who are not comfortable with analytics or who dislike Morey personally will say the same uninformed things, but the truth is that analytics, as part of how basketball operations work in the NBA, are here to stay.
While Morey was an early adopter of analytics, he is no longer the only GM incorporating advanced data into decision-making. Far from it.
Consider the following:
The anti-analytics crowd will argue that you can't make basketball decisions by data alone. That is a false argument. No proponent of analytics -- Morey included -- would suggest that using only data is any way to build a team. Coaches, scouts, and general managers have a wealth of vital information and expertise that is not reflected in the data.
At its core, good analytics provide another piece of information, and most hyper-competitive front office personnel and coaches have learned that having more information than your opponent can provide a competitive advantage.
The state of analytics in the NBA is strong, with no small credit belonging to Morey himself.
THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS commandeered the Bristol Lounge in Boston's Four Seasons Hotel to nosh on lobster tacos, New York strip steaks and crispy fried chicken wings while they monitored their NBA playoff future.
It was April 23, 2015, and the newly configured big three of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love had just edged the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series, which left the Cavs one win from a sweep.
James had retired to his room to host a small group of friends while his teammates relaxed and glanced at snippets of their next potential opponent, the Chicago Bulls, whose overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks flickered on television screens throughout the lounge.
The Cavaliers' mood was light and lively. As the clock ticked toward midnight, the Cavs turned their attention to the climax of the Golden State-New Orleans game. Irving, Iman Shumpert and James Jones whooped as the Warriors charged back from a 20-point deficit to steal an overtime victory behind a series of outlandish Steph Curry bombs. Curry checked out with 40 points, which prompted a family member of the Cleveland entourage to declare, "Maybe you guys should start paying attention to them."
Irving was having none of that. Looking ahead just one round to Chicago made him queasy enough; projecting all the way to the Finals against Golden State seemed reckless, arrogant even. Although his team was in control of the series against the Celtics -- no team in NBA history had come back from a 3-0 deficit -- Irving couldn't shake his uneasiness about finishing the job.
"We're not done here," Irving reprimanded. "[Brad] Stevens is damn smart. He's coming at us with something new, so we better be ready.''
Even though the Celtics had been beaten by an average of 9.7 points in the series, the youngest head coach in the NBA lingered in Cleveland's psyche, Irving says, because Stevens already had accomplished what every coach sets out to do when his club is outmatched: prevent the deeper, more experienced, more talented team from settling into a rhythm.

5 DIY Rose-Infused Bath Remedies
Roses tend to be the go-to gift for Valentine's Day, and with good reason — they're gorgeous, smell fantastic, and are a symbolic gesture of "love". But roses have also become a somewhat cliché romantic gift over the years. Instead of rushing to the grocery store for a generic plastic-wrapped bouquet, comb the aisles for the ingredients to one of these DIY rose-infused therapeutic bath and skin remedies.
Why roses? Roses are much more than just beautiful eye candy, which is why they have been used for centuries for their healing and therapeutic benefits. Rose petals can calm your mind, soothe your skin, and even quench your thirst. They are a great source of antioxidants and vitamin C, which can help tone your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The essential oil from rose petals moisturizes and hydrates, and the alpha-hydroxy acids exfoliate and tighten pores. Roses also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can de-puff and reduce redness. Keep in mind that when making these recipes, you'll want to make sure your roses or dried rose petals are organic so they are free of harmful chemicals.

This post is a bit late as Jan Willem has focused squarely on streaming Wasteland Kings and moving places and Rami just landed from his crazy trip to GDC Europe, gamescom and PAX. It doesn't help that August was one of the craziest months in our existence as Vlambeer and was concluded with our third birthday on September 1st.
As you might've noticed, LUFTRAUSERS has been delayed again. The short version is that it's going to be at least a month before it releases from now. The long version is: it turns out that certification is harder than you expect even when you have been warned that it's harder than you think. This is our first ever console release, and it turns out the process that they call 'Technical Requirement Compliance' is weirdly intricate, with different standards in different territories and long arbitrary delays between submissions, so we want to get things right. This is not a dig towards Sony, who have been absolutely great towards us and are absolutely accomodating and trying to help us out, it's just a reality we'll have to deal with for now.
Devolver Digital kindly hired an additional QA team to help us out and check the game pre-submissions, and we're wrapping up the final items on the list at the moment. Sadly, the game going through certification doesn't mean it launches immediately, it means it'll get 'slotted' at a certain date a few weeks later for launch. We've promised everybody – fans and platforms – that it'll launch simultaneously on all platforms, and we're never making that promise again. It just feels bad to have four perfectly releasable builds sitting here, just waiting for the last one to clear certifications.
We really ought to stop estimating release dates that early in development. It doesn't really work with our style of development: we keep tweaking and fixing things until the game is as close to perfect as we can get it. Slamming a date onto something like that isn't really helping anyone.
The Wasteland Kings stream is way closer to how we actually develop. It's sort of chaotic, we have no clue when it'll be done and we have fun adding a lot of crazy things to it. If you're not watching the stream, we're streaming every Tuesday and Thursday from 13:00 until 17:00 CET over at www.wastelandkings.com.
We are really excited about Wasteland Kings, though. The PS4/PS Vita reveal during gamescom was one of the most nerve-wrecking moments in our recent history and the reception it got at the Penny Arcade Expo was overwhelming. As for everybody asking, yes, we'll start selling the shirts in our store as soon as the Level Up Studios guys get home.
The Super Crate Box iOS update has been delayed again as well. We got Rami a Macbook to finally fix that update with his crazy travel lifestyle (he could only work on our Mac Mini in the office before now) and then when he turned it on in Seattle, it plain out didn't recognize the device's harddrive. We've sent off the Macbook to some Apple support place as Rami prepares to leave again for a bit, to South Africa this time.
We both also spent time on some side projects. Jan Willem ran 7DFPS again, while Rami focused a lot of his time into presskit() and his work for the Indie MEGABOOTH.
Then, all of a sudden, Vlambeer turned three years old, which – as we were on seperate continents – led to celebrations as excessive as the e-mail exchange above. As a birthday gift, we finally made GUN GODZ available for free, after it had been a Venus Patrol exclusive for a while, and we released the MOJAM prototype of Wasteland Kings. On top of that, we announced the Vlambeer & Friends Art Book project. You can grab all of those gifts at our birthday website.
Thanks so much to everybody who contributed to the spontaneous surge of Vlambeer OST sales during our birthday. We super appreciate all the kind words, merchandise sales, fan art and gifts.
Don't forget to tune into the stream in four hours or so, 13:00CET at the Wasteland Kings website.

|Every 15 Minutes: HHS students learn about dangers of drinking and driving the hard way
|Written by Darci Tomky
The blood on the street was fake, the screaming girl was just acting, the sirens were a drill, the Grim Reaper was pretend, and the obituary was only a script.
But the emotions—the emotions were real.
Every 15 minutes a person in the United States dies from an alcohol related crash. That's 96 every day, 672 every week and 35,040 people every year.
That's a big number.
Holyoke High School sophomores Molly Brandt, Erin Vieselmeyer and Ben Martinez have urged their classmates to not become part of that statistic.
To do this, the three FCCLA members coordinated the Every 15 Minutes program, a huge eye-opener for teenagers at HHS.
Last week's events simulated real life experiences—a dramatic lesson about the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving or riding with a drunk driver.
"The reason that we do this is so we don't have to in real life," said HHS Principal Susan Ortner.
The Grim Reaper leads the living dead to the scene of a mock crash
Holyoke High School students saw a lot of the Grim Reaper Wednesday, Sept. 15.
Every 15 minutes the Grim Reaper marched into a classroom, clad in black robes and gripping his scythe. Every 15 minutes the mysterious figure picked a seemingly innocent student to be his victim. Every 15 minutes a student left class with the Grim Reaper, a visual representation of a person dying in an alcohol related car crash.
Fifteen students and one teacher participated in the program, becoming the "living dead" after the Grim Reaper sought them out.
They were chosen from a cross section of the school, affecting students in every grade level from athletes to musicians and everyone in between.
After students left with the Grim Reaper, Colorado State Troopers read their obituaries to their classmates. A cross was added to the cemetery in the grass facing the high school, and white paper covered the lockers of the living dead, all a gripping reminder that those students won't be returning to class.
Even though parents knew their children would "die" as part of the Every 15 Minutes program, emergency officials still found them at work or home to notify them of the death of their child.
"Even though I knew it was a mock notice, I felt my world crumble," said Sharon Greenman.
"A parent's worst nightmare and fear is losing a child," said Kim Killin.
EMT workers slide HHS senior Becca Brandt out of the vehicle on a back
Mock accident brings death to life
"Please help me!"
"How could you let this happen to me?"
"Somebody get me out of here!"
Wednesday afternoon HHS students came upon a car accident at the corner of Jules and Heginbotham in Holyoke. Even though they knew the crash scene wasn't real, the blood-curdling cries of classmate Becca Brandt surely got their attention.
Students and teachers sat in silence, many with tear-filled eyes as they watched the events unfold before them.
The simulated crash was the result of a drunk driver losing control of his car and rolling it, a choice that would affect not only him but his two friends as well.
The driver, played by Cody Fricke, paced outside his car, seeing the damage that was the result of his bad decision. He sat with his head in his hands, not knowing what to think or do.
"I didn't have that much to drink," he cried. "I thought I'd be fine!"
Fricke pleaded with Austin Killin to get up, but onlookers knew Killin wouldn't be getting up. He lay on the street in a pool of blood with several injuries that left him lifeless.
Meanwhile, Brandt was stuck in the front passenger seat of the beat-up car, screaming in pain.
Students waited for several long minutes, watching the scene play out before their eyes, until they heard the 911 call over the loudspeaker.
Town whistles and sirens blared as emergency personnel made their way to the crash. They knew it was a drill, but firefighters, EMTs and law enforcement officers treated the simulation as if it was the real thing.
As the events unfolded, students were updated with the details of what was happening.
A law enforcement officer was the first person at the accident, and his main objective was to control the scene.
Cody Fricke is interviewed by Colorado State Patrol officer J.D. Mack
Next Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department and EMTs arrived, both seeking to assist with the medical needs of the victims.
Eyes widened as the firefighters brought out the Jaws of Life, a piece of equipment used to remove the doors and roof of the car so Brandt could be carefully treated.
The ambulance updated the hospital on the condition of the victims until Brandt could be loaded and taken to the emergency room.
A victim's advocate was also on the scene to provide the victims with help emotionally.
With the goal of investigating the crash, Colorado State Patrol arrived at the intersection to determine if alcohol was involved.
Students watched as classmate Cody Fricke went through a voluntary roadside test. After obvious signs of alcohol consumption, the high school senior was handcuffed and taken to jail during Wednesday afternoon's simulation.
With Brandt at the hospital and Fricke in jail, the only one left at the heart-wrenching scene was Killin. A coroner was there to care for the fatal party, and a white sheet was placed over Killin's body, hiding his still form from the onlooking students.
Gerk Funeral Home lifted him into a body bag to be taken to the mortuary.
Ortner read Killin's obituary to students—a group of teenagers who had suddenly gotten a big wake up call about drinking and driving from the Every 15 Minutes simulation.
Following the mock accident, half the living dead accompanied Brandt to the emergency room at the hospital.
As the doctors and nurses did everything they could for her, Brandt thought to herself, "What if this were real? What if I was actually dying?"
She forced herself to stay still, even as her crying parents came to her side after she was pronounced dead. As much as she wanted to jump up and run to them, she knew the next day she could tell her parents it would all be all right. "If I were actually dead, I wouldn't get that chance," she said.
Another group of students followed Killin to Gerk Funeral Home.
"I was consumed with never being able to say good-bye," said Killin of his thoughts while lying on the pavement during the simulation.
When his family viewed his body at the mortuary, it was all he could do to not cry out to them. "I had to subdue my cries to force you to turn around," said Killin, remembering when they left him as if he were really dead.
Yes, both Brandt and Killin would get to see their families the next day, but many victims in alcohol related crashes don't get that chance.
Holyoke Police officer Damon Ellis and EMT Melissa Mayden try to get a
It's a choice
Even though the shocking statistic is that every 15 minutes a person dies from an alcohol related accident, the theme of Thursday's high school assembly was that it's a choice.
"The choices you make are important," said Phillips County Judge David Colver. "It's your choice, and you have to make it. Your future is in your own hands."
Students from the living dead addressed their classmates, reminding them drinking and driving or getting in a car with a drunk driver is a choice they have to make.
"I didn't realize the decisions I've made would affect the others around me," said sophomore Elissa Baker. "We get to choose."
"For us, accidents like this don't have to happen," added Kim Killin, whose son was killed in Wednesday's mock crash.
Students who participated in the program spent Wednesday night in Sterling, removing them from any contact with family and friends. The experience became even more real for them when they got to do things like write letters to their parents, imagining what they would have said if they had actually died.
Parents of the living dead were also given the opportunity to write letters to their children.
Emotions ran high in the HHS auditorium Thursday as students and parents read their letters.
Also taking the stage was guest speaker Beverly Funaro who shared the story of her daughter Mallory.
The 15-year-old rolled a pickup after drinking at a party. She lay in a corn field for two hours, pinned under the vehicle. The boy who was with Mallory left the scene, leaving her in the 28 degree weather with no help on the way.
"This is not happening. This is not my daughter," was all Funaro could think.
"You fight with everything you have," she told her daughter as she later held her shoulders and begged her to live.
The high school freshman struggled to live for three weeks. "I finally admitted it now—my precious baby was going to die," said Funaro with tears in her eyes.
She explained there is now a law called Mallory's Law which requires passengers to report an accident if the driver can't.
Also addressing students at Thursday's assembly was Chelsey Saylor, a 2002 HHS graduate.
"I hate statistics, but when you are part of one, it makes it worse," she said. Saylor became part of the Every 15 Minutes statistic when she chose to drink and drive in March 2002, a decision that killed one passenger in her car.
Saylor actually participated as one of the living dead in the Every 15 Minutes program as a junior in 2001. She heard all the same things the students heard last week. "I chose to forget what I learned here," she said. "This program could not make it more real for any of you."
What only happened in a mock accident for HHS students became a very real life experience for Saylor.
"When I saw what was going on, my whole world turned around," said Saylor, recalling the field where her friend lay pinned under her car. "I knew I had lost my friend and it was my fault because I had made that choice."
She was then faced with a "haunting memory" that would live with her for the rest of her life.
"I pray each of you are stronger than I am," she urged students. "Don't become another statistic."

Even though the Boots skin care collection is one of the most rigorously tested, England's best-selling skin care range didn't begin in a laboratory; it began on a farm. It was on a farm where John Boots first learned about the topical healing properties of plants and gained the knowledge that allowed him to establish his own herbalism practice. More than 160 years later, the Boots skin care range remains true to its history, incorporating natural extracts in its formulas whenever possible. Highly effective, Boots No7 skin care products are tested on 200,000 study participants before they reach the market to ensure their safety.
The Boots No7 Sets And Kits are a great way to introduce yourself to the Boots collection. In the Boots No7 Sets And Kits, you'll find matching products that work together to address a specific skin concern. All of the formulas in the Boots No7 Sets And Kits are gentle, hypoallergenic and tested by dermatologists. Because of this, you can use the Boots No7 Sets And Kits without fear or give them as gifts to anyone.
Find complete solutions to your biggest skin care concerns in the Boots No7 Sets And Kits collection.
Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit is a complete kit that allows you to perform an effective facial peel at home. The regimen was inspired by the chemical peels used to lessen the appearance of wrinkles, scarring and hyperpigmentation and is dermatologist-approved to ensure its safety.
In clinical trials, the Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit produced immediate results for many women. After just one treatment, 86 percent of study participants reported that their skin's texture was smoother, while 73 percent noticed improvements in the tone of the tissue. With four treatments, 76 percent felt that their skin appeared more youthful and that it was clearer and more radiant.
To deliver results, the Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit contains 7 percent glycolic acid, which has the ability to dissolve dead skin cells on the outer layer of the complexion. This helps to reduce the depth of wrinkles, brighten the complexion and remove cellular debris that can contribute to acne breakouts and skin congestion.
The Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit is designed to be easy to use. The set contains a mixing dish that makes it easy to apply the included Gentle Glycolic Peel. A fan brush ensures even application, and No7 Soft Neutralizing Pads are added to the set to neutralize the formula and remove it at the end of the treatment.
