YOU CAN BUY IT FOR 39.00 ON THEIR WEBSITE OR BUY IT HERE ON AMAZON FOR 13.00. IT IS THE SAME SAME PRODUCT. THE SOFTWARE HAS MANY OPTIONS FOR TAILORING IT TO YOUR PREFERENCES. THE GUARDIAN PART CAN BE SHUT OFF, IF YOU THINK IT SLOWS YOUR MACHINE DOWN. I SHUT DOWN THE CHECKING EMAILS GOING OUT ALSO.

This blackhead removal kit is very impressive. It comes in a nice case that has black foam to tightly hold all 5 instruments. Other sellers don't offer this and I think it's a definite need to keep these all in good shape and so I don't loose them. All 5 tools are double needed giving you 10 different options to help extract. If you are a beginner it can seem overwhelming with all these options in this professional set but they do include a nice reference sheet to tell u recommendations for each kind of tip which I thought was helpful. The loop ends are nice and thin and make extracting with just a swipe easy! The lancet that's included is very fine and very sharp to make the smallest access to drain fluid. There is also a protective cover on that end which is nice. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about this kit I am pleased with it and would recommend to others.

I would highly recommend first year med students to buy this now rather than second years. I am a second year and I am kicking myself for not buying it last year and just using it during the second half of first year and all through second year. My mistake.

I absolutely loved this year's anthology of the "best of" short stories. I had all but given up on this series due to recent uprising of violent, shock-value, experimental and "magic realism" stories. It seemed there was just this trend to be weird and shocking just to get published/noticed. This year is a quieter bunch on some level and although many tend towards depressing or sad, gone is the extreme darkness and violence that plagued many short stories of the last couple of years. These are more about relationships, being different and the fears we have that we may never connect with other human beings. Jennifer Egan did a great job paring down to the final 20 and maybe it was criteria she used that I resonated with, but I thought her choices were interesting, exciting and brought a new spark to possibilities for the contemporary short story. I felt only two stories were mediocre, not memorable, but not horrible either ("The Breeze" by Joshua Ferris - not so much the subject matter and writing which were good, but the ridiculous choppy back/forth "what if" form, it was very done before and took a LOT away from just enjoying a story about a crumbling contemporary relationship; and "Next to Nothing" by Stephen O'Connor, simply because it was hard to believe. It was, however, a right chilling/spooky story). The remainders I would call 5-star. It was a pleasure to see some of the masters of the form, e.g., Charles Baxter, T.C Boyle, Joyce Carol Oates, but also wow, some of the newcomers were awesome ,e.g., Benjamin Nugent ("God"), Mollly McNett ("La Pulchra Nota") and Laura Van Den Berg ("Antarctica"). This book really brought back some great joy in not only reading fiction, but short stories. Highly recommended if you might like to try venturing into short stories, but especially if you already love them.
