First of all, it smells amazing! Strawberry sorbet or smth, amazing smile that lasts at least for a few hours. I bought it based on the hyper-reviews and I wasn't fooled this time.
Second, it does protect and give a beautiful, striking noticeable shine to the hair. Good quality product.
I already used it for a few months and not even half the bottle is consumed yet. It's kinda pricey, but based on how much it lasts, the price is kind of ok.
As CONS: the packaging!! Horrible! The top part (made of cheap glossy plastic) does not fit perfectly the bottle and keeps falling. And if by any means, the bottle gets in any other position that vertical, the liquid comes out (from around the pump or i don't know) !!
If i were to change smth in this product, the packaging would be! For this price, they could have done it so much better.
Overall, maybe I'll rebuy. That 'MAYBE' is not because of the bad quality, but because there are so many wonderful hair products in the world and I'd like to try more. This has not won me so completely to make it my HG.

Absolutely incredible stuff! I was actually on the verge of purchasing new hair straighteners as I thought they weren't performing very well but this product has changed all that.
I have naturally wavy hair cut in a bob which if it were long would look lovely but as it's a bob it needs straightening at the moment. No matter how much I straightened my hair would never stay smooth and sleek but just a few sprays of this amazing product and my hair looks smooth and glossy and perfectly straight!
I have used heat protection sprays before but never found one that worked very well, they are all too wet in consistency and my hair looked fried with most of them. I read the reviews on here for the tigi s factor spray but put off purchasing for a while due to the high price. Eventually I caved and bought it and I'm so pleased I did. It's worth every single penny and it's saved me £100 on new straighteners!

I bought this almost two years ago based on the reviews I read here and I absolutely adore it. First of all, the smell- it's like delicious strawberry candy and I never get sick of it. I use this for blowdrying after using a serum or hair oil of some sort and it makes my hair extremely soft and smooth (and again, smell delicious). I notice a difference when I don't use it, my hair does not feel as good without it. It may just be the first hair product, aside from of course shampoo and conditioner, that I have actually finished and repurchased. I love it! Give it a try.
More reviews by Empyrean_Luminary
This is an outrageously priced, absolutely awesomely scented hair product that makes my hair a staticky mess. I love the fruity, sweet, candy scent, but that's about it. I've tried it on wet hair and dry hair, and before and after styling, but it always makes my thick, untreated hair full of static with negligible shine. Plus this stuff is laughably expensive.
Try Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum or Citre Shine Spray Laminator if you want a sweet, fruity scented serum or spray product that actually works for heat styling and shine!
TIGI S Factor Heat Defender Spray where have you been all my life? I've used so many products to try to tame my frizzy wild hair when I heat style and they've all left me disappointed....except for this one. I read the reviews before purchasing because it is kinda spendy. BUT.... it is totally worth it!!! I don't even use that much. Maybe a few light sprays around the head before flat ironing and I'm good to go!! I use it with Beyond The Zone Smooth Criminal leave in spray/blow drying balm & my hair is silky smooth & smells so yummy!! Would definitely recommend & will buy again when I run out :-)

I bought this because of the great reviews here. At the time, I clearly needed some kind of heat protectant, as I had just started using a curling iron every day and could already see damage starting to happen. At $33 before tax this is easily the most I've ever paid for a styling product. Is it worth it? Well for one thing, I haven't noticed any more heat damage since I've been using it. And even if I use too much product, after ironing my hair just looks glossy, never greasy or limp. In fact I like this quite a lot. The only problem is, I bought this a month ago and the bottles already more than half gone. Now this isn't a product you have to saturate your hair with to get it to work. It's just that, as with any product, I find I end up using more than needed to be sure I haven't missed any areas.
Because of this and the high price tag, I tried several drugstore heat protectants (Organix and John Freida) but neither of them gave me the protection and the lovely glossiness that S Factor did. The first one made my hair sizzle on the iron and the second one was very heavy and came in a pump bottle instead of a spray can. So while it works fine for wet hair when I blow dry, it just made my hair feel weighed down and greasy when used before curling. So I ended up going back to S Factor Flat Iron Defender. Now that I'm using it again I've been trying to use less by just using one spritz on a section of hair, then running my fingers through to spread the product evenly. I seem to be have reasonable success at using less product, so we'll see how long this bottle lasts me. I will repurchase when I run out, but continue to look at other heat protectants. If I switch to something I like better, will edit.

Great product! Bought it because of all the reviews here. My hair is colored, highlighted, flat ironed to death, damaged, dry, frizzy, easily broken and brittle! This product turned back 20 years on my hair. I'm 44 and after using this product my hair SHINED and was silky and laid flat and had swing and movement just like it did when i was 22 and had no chemical processing done to it. Almost brought tears. Never thought i'd see my hair like that again especially at this age! No greasiness at all by the way. I sprayed the Tigi when my hair was wet. I air dried it. And in the morning i sprayed it again on dry hair and then flat ironed. WOW! The mist comes out so fine.. it's almost like a cloud.. barely there. But once you run a flat iron over it, it makes the hair look like those hair commercials. I kid you not! SO happy i bought this. It's SO expensive though. Yikes! I do see the bottle lasting a while though because you don't use much. A few sprays and that's all you need so i guess you do get your money's worth. It just hurts to lay down $32 in one shot though. But at Ulta, with coupons and points you can get it for $24 or so. As far as the packaging... i kept reading MUA comments about how bad it is etc. It's really not people. Come on. It's a plastic bottle with a spray nozzle. Honestly dont see what the big complaints are about. Overall, perfect product! BUY IT! Im excited to try the shampoo and conditioner by Tigi also. Now if only i could find a face cream to turn back 20 years like this product did to my hair.... Hmmmmm...........

This thing smells AMAZING. I've never used another hair product that smells as good. My friend gave me a hug and said I smelled like a cherry Icee, but I think it smells more like strawberry sorbet.
I straight iron my hair on most days and this left my hair feeling soft and shiny. It is a really great product, but really, really expensive! This retails for $30 at regular price. I found it on Amazon for about $21, but still very pricey for something I would normally use up in a few months time.
The packaging is awful, which is why I gave it four lippies instead of five. I had only used about 1/3 of the bottle when it got knocked over from my bathroom counter (3 feet tall, at most) onto the floor and shattered due to the flimsy packaging. I'm a klutz and I've dropped many of my lotion bottles/hair products/makeup jars, etc. but none of them have ever broken before. I was so sad to have lost it and I haven't purchased another because of the hefty price tag. I went to Target and got another heat protectant for $7 instead.

Lincolnshire's coast and countryside is waiting to be explored from our pretty Woodhall Spa Club campsite located in the Fenlands area of the county. The site enjoys a quiet, rural setting near the Edwardian town of the same name and accommodates some 90 units. It is bordered by trees and offers some secluded pitches. There is a lake on site and you're likely to share your pitch with a variety of wildlife including rabbits and wild birds such as woodpeckers and moorhens. The Edwardian town of Woodhall Spa is within walking distance and offers several places to eat. The Cottage Museum tells the history of the local community and the Kinema in the woods – a unique two-screen cinema – is open seven days a week. For sandy beaches head to the popular resort of Skegness and Chapel St Leonards, both brimming with activities to keep the whole family entertained. In contrast the peaceful Lincolnshire Wolds provide a landscape of rolling hills and gentle valleys, perfect for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. The market towns of Market Rasen, Louth, Horncastle and Spilsby provide a range of shops, eating places. Air enthusiasts will enjoy the Battle of Britain Air Museum at RAF Coningsby and the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby. Other local attractions include Lincoln Castle and Tattershall Castle, a dramatic red brick tower managed by the National Trust. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local Free range eggs are sold at Brackenside Farm and the Bakery and Delicatessen in Woodhall Spa sells local cheese, bread and cakes.

A Lewis (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Woodhall Spa Quiet site about 4 miles from Woodhall Spa made up of four different areas. The first you will see as you turn into the site is the usual hard standing pitches on right hand side with grass pitches on the left behind the reception. Behind the grass pitches and separated by a hedge and furthest away from the facilities is an open field overlooking a wild meadow reserve. Perfect for star gazing and simply looking up into the wide open Lincolnshire sky. The last area at the back of the site and past the small lake is amongst the trees has a mix of grass and hard standing pitches. My only criticism would be that despite there being a substantial play are for the kids is seemed to be more fun to ride over the metal bridge on their scooters and bikes making an awful noise. In spite of this our one night stay was enjoyable and will not put us off from visiting again.

When I said the Ottawa Senators were entering a rebuild mode, little did I or anyone around the team think the first two players that were going to be moved would be Mike Fisher and Chris Kelly. But to get this franchise back to where it was over the last decade, tough decisions have to be made.
And from the look on the faces of Kelly and GM Bryan Murray Tuesday night, this was tough. Kelly seemed almost in shock, while Murray, you could tell, did not want to trade him.
"Well I just traded one of the good the guys, one of the most respected on this hockey team," Murray said moments after a 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Islanders. "These are difficult deals for someone like myself to make… but this is the way we have to go at this point."
The Sens will receive the Bruins' second round pick in the 2011 draft.
Kelly, a 30-year-old center, has one more year on his deal at just over $2 million. He was drafted in 1999 and spent a few years learning the pro game in the AHL before becoming a regular down the middle for Ottawa in 2005.
"It's pretty tough to get traded, it's my first time, but these things happen, especially the way things have gone here," said Kelly moments after Murray addressed the media. "It was a quick kind of goodbye after the game as it hasn't really hit me yet."
When Fisher was moved to Nashville last week for a first round pick, it sent shock waves through the dressing room. Some were saying at the rink following the Fisher trade that there will be more moves, and moves that will strike at the core of this team. Most teams around the NHL are looking at the core players on Ottawa; who couldn't use character players who can contribute offensively as they head to the playoffs?
"Two character people, two guys you respect," Murray said when asked to describe his two trades over the last week. "That's what other teams want and if you are going to make a deal, those types of players… they are the people people want."
"To see a guy like Mike get traded who has been here for so long," said Kelly, "really was an eye opener."
Kelly is a player that will make others around him better, and one that guys enjoy playing with. That fact is probably a key reason Boston, and more importantly to its GM, Peter Chiarelli (a former assistant GM in Ottawa), who made the move to get Kelly.
"I had Pete Chiarelli here in Ottawa and I hope he knows what type of a player I am," Kelly said. "I just spoke with Peter and he seemed excited and I told him I was excited to get an opportunity to play in the post season."
The whispers around the rink have Chris Campoli and Chris Neil being sought after. Neither are UFA's at the end of the year so any deal would have to make sense for the long term of the franchise.
The way things are going, three or four more players will be moved out of Ottawa by the trade deadline.

Maria Sharapova's candy company Sugarpova to underwrite ITHF Kids Free Program for 2014
Sugarpova, a premium candy line that reflects the fun, fashionable, sweet side of international tennis sensation Maria Sharapova announced today their partnership with the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in Newport, R.I.
Sugarpova is the new official sponsor and an underwriter of the Hall of Fame's Kids Free program, which provides free admission to the museum for children ages 16 and under, every day, year-round. The International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is the sport's official, global Hall of Fame and the world's most comprehensive museum dedicated to the sport of tennis.
"I am honored and thrilled to partner Sugarpova with the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum, particularly in support of such an important program," said Maria Sharapova, founder and creative director of Sugarpova, and the winner of four Grand Slam tournament titles. "I was lucky to discover the game at a young age, and I hope that visiting the museum will inspire young people to see the opportunities in tennis and the potential that exists when someone commits oneself to following a dream."
"We are delighted and grateful to welcome Sugarpova as an official sponsor of the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. Maria is an extraordinary role model within the sport, and we appreciate her commitment toward our mission to inspire young people to get involved in tennis," said Mark L. Stenning, CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. "The museum is an exciting place where families and children of all ages can explore the game's rich history in an educational and entertaining way. By offering free admission to children we hope they will be inspired by the game's traditions and become life-long players and fans."
For 60 years, the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum has worked closely with tennis partners around the world to gather and preserve artifacts that showcase the sport's rich history.
Through the Kids Free program, the next generation of players and fans are invited to learn about the sport. In the museum, tennis' greatest moments come to life through video and photo presentations. The museum incorporates an extensive collection of memorabilia to showcase the sport's history and honor its great champions. Kids have the unique opportunity to get up close to some of the sport's most coveted trophies, including the actual US Open trophies, which are on display, when not in New York. In addition, kids who visit are often intrigued by historic pieces such as tennis dresses and lace up boots worn to play in the 19th century and awestruck by tennis gear and apparel worn by modern stars. In fact, Sharapova's apparel from the 2012 French Open final, when she completed her career Grand Slam, is among the items in the collection.
To make the experience fun and educational for young visitors, children can participate in a Hall of Fame scavenger hunt, which guides them through the museum and encourages them to carefully examine the collections on display.
In addition to sponsoring the Kids Free program, Sugarpova candy will be featured in the three retail stores on the Hall of Fame property in Newport and Hall of Fame fans will have access to special offers throughout the year. The retail stores will offer all 15 variations of the brand, which includes gumballs, gummy candies, sours, and more, all styled in fun, unexpected types and shapes–with playful names to match. A long time candy lover with a surprising sweet tooth, Sharapova created her own candy business in 2012 to offer an accessible bit of luxury, interpreting classic candies in her own signature style. A portion of sales from Sugarpova are donated to the Maria Sharapova Foundation, which supports her ongoing dedication to a charitable cause close to her heart.
The International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. School groups, camps and other youth groups are welcome to utilize the Kids Free program and may call (401) 849-3990 to plan a visit.

In 1986, the International Tennis Federation, the governing body of tennis, officially recognized the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum as the sport's official Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is located in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, on a six-acre property that features an extensive museum chronicling the history of the sport and honoring the 235 Hall of Famers; 13 grass tennis courts and an indoor tennis facility that are open to the public and to a club membership; a rare Court Tennis facility; and an historic 295-seat theatre.

Q&A: What problems can be associated with a low Apgar score?
My baby had a one-minute APGAR score of 1 and a five-minute APGAR score of 9. She has had frequent infections and gastric reflux for her first six months. Are these problems related to the low initial APGAR score?
To answer your question, I think it will be most helpful to explain what Apgar scores are, how they are determined, and what they can (and can't) tell us. The Apgar score was designed and is used to help determine which newborns need extra medical attention and care. Scores are typically given at one and five minutes after birth as a quick and general way to assess newborns' overall well-being and (when necessary) their response to resuscitation. These scores are based on five different factors: activity level (muscle tone), heart rate, breathing, grimace/cry (also referred to as reflex irritability and an indicator of responsiveness), and appearance of the skin. For each of these factors, newborns are given a score of 0, 1, or 2, making the highest score possible a 10. <
That said, it's worth noting that scores can be somewhat subjective and can definitely be influenced by lots of things, including medications, trauma, infection, and prematurity (to name but a few). They can also be very inter-related such that a low score in one category can result in low scores in the others. A baby who is slow to start breathing on his or her own, for example, is more likely to also have a slow heart rate, look a bit blue, be a bit floppy, and be less responsive until his/her breathing kicks in—resulting not only in a low (0 or 1) score for breathing, but for all the other categories as well. To more specifically address the scenario like what you experienced where a baby receives a low one-minute score followed by a normal five-minute score (considered to be anywhere from 7 to 10), let me also point out that the importance of a low one-minute Apgar has not been shown to correlate with poor future outcomes.
Having said all that, you can hopefully better understand that a baby's Apgar scores alone (especially when the five-minute score is absolutely normal) don't serve as useful predictors of future infections or the presence of gastric reflux—two very common occurrences that unfortunately afflict lots of babies during their first year, irregardless of their newborn Apgar scores.

French physician Nicholas Andry coined the term orthopedics in 1741 as a union of the Greek words ortho (straight) and pedics (children). The term later applied to doctors specializing in the treatment of disabled children.
Today, orthopedic doctors treat injuries or issues of the spine and joints that often result from birth defects, injuries or aging. These physicians mainly attend to broken bones from sports injuries and other accidents and illnesses that affect the joints and bones, such as arthritis and osteoporosis and bone tumors.
Orthopedic doctors treat patients in many different settings, such as in hospitals and medical centers, private surgical centers, trauma centers and their own private practices. Many of these physicians specialize even further in areas of treatment or choose to work especially with children, aging patients or athletes. Others may work specifically with spinal disorders, plastic surgery, knee- and hip-joint analysis and replacement, foot injuries and hand surgery.
Physical therapists, a type of orthopedic specialist, treat a wider population of patients by helping strengthen the body's muscles that affect the joints. They offer information on proper exercises and supplement treatment with heat, ice, electrical stimulation and ultrasound. Many patients see physical therapists rather than undergo surgery.

Mary Romero
Adult Nonfiction HD6072.2.U5 R674 2011
Summary: At a very young age, Olivia left her family and traditions in Mexico to live with her mother, Carmen, in one of Los Angeles's most exclusive and nearly all-white gated communities.nbsp; Based on over twenty years of research, noted scholar Mary Romero brings Olivia's remarkable story to life. We watch as she struggles through adolescence, declares her independence and eventually goes off to college and becomes a successful professional. Much of her extraordinary story is told in Olivia's voice and we hear of both her triumphs and her setbacks. nbsp; In The Maid's Daughter , Mary Romero explores this complex story about belonging, identity, and resistance, illustrating Olivia's challenge to establish her sense of identity, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion in her life. Romero points to the hidden costs of paid domestic labor that are transferred to the families of private household workers and nannies, and shows how everyday routines are important in maintaining and assuring that various forms of privilege are passed on from one generation to another. Through Olivia's story, Romero shows how mythologies of meritocracy, the land of opportunity, and the American dream remain firmly in place while simultaneously erasing injustices and the struggles of the working poor.nbsp;

The well-known host of Man vs Food won't be doing anything for a while, as his new show, Man Finds Food, has been canceled indefinitely.
PHOENIX, July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrities are oftentimes touchy about their craft – whether they are an actor, musician, comedian or athlete, some can take offense to criticism very easily, and react in an irrational and hostile way. After all, it is not uncommon to turn on the television and to see a celebrity go head-to-head with the paparazzi, calling them foul names and even getting into physical altercations.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140702/124168
Since celebrities have come into the social media realm with Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, there have been even more incidences of hostility between celebrities and their "haters." Oftentimes these confrontations come with real-world consequences for the celebrity in question, share the Scottsdale online reputation management experts at JW Maxx Solutions.
The latest instance of social media gone wrong is the recent case surrounding Adam Richman, host of the hit show Man vs Food. After recently losing 60 pounds, the newly healthy Richman posted a weight-loss picture on his Instagram account with the hashtag "#thinspiration."
When one Instagram user ridiculed Richman for using this particular hashtag that has been used on both blogs and on other social media sites for celebrating unhealthy weight loss, Richman went on a tirade. He used several extremely profane terms and even suggested that the user should commit suicide, adding that he would not apologize for the picture that he posted.
Since the comments were made, they have been deleted, but the story has gone viral. The Phoenix online reputation management experts at JW Maxx Solutions reveal that the absolute worst time to reply back to anyone who is talking negatively about a company or person is when that responder is emotional. Because Richman was angry about the comments that he saw, he responded hastily and now there are real consequences, mainly the indefinite holding of his new show that was set to debut today, July 2.
"Where these celebrities fail and never learn their lesson is that what they post online CAN and WILL be used against them," said reputation expert at CEO of JW Maxx Solutions, Walter Halicki. "It blows my mind how many celebrities think that there will be no consequences for their actions online."
The Phoenix online reputation management experts at JW Maxx Solutions always stress that if a person is feeling upset, angry or if they are intoxicated, they need to make sure that they refrain from using social media. Attacking another person online is never a smart idea, and when the aggressor is a well-known celebrity, the consequences can be even more real and devastating.
JW Maxx Solutions is a part of a fine family of companies including Reputation Maxx, Prensa Ahora and Enterate Ahora. Offering the best in online reputation management, individuals and companies alike are encouraged to visit http://www.jwmaxxsolutions.com or call 877-390-1597.

Efforts are underway to make it illegal to swim in the Indiana waters of Lake Michigan when rip current conditions are deemed dangerous.
"Are people so bold so that they think they they're invulnerable, nothing can stop them?" said Ind. Sen. Jim Arnold, (D) LaPorte. "We've got to protect people from their own selves sometimes."
According to the National Weather Service, 78 swimmers have died in Lake Michigan rip currents over the past 10 years, while another 230 had to be rescued.
Sen. Arnold is drafting a bill to legally ban swimming in the Indiana waters of Lake Michigan's Indiana whenever the National Weather Service issued a rip current warning. "What can you do if a person goes into the water during a rip tide warning, rip current warning; what do you do? You tell him to get out of the water, if he refuses, what are you going to do? There's no law that says he's violating anything other than stupidity."
Sen. Arnold knows better than most—the dangers posed by Lake Michigan. "It's always been an issue to me. I lost a brother in July of 1959, but it wasn't a rip current, he drowned in Lake Michigan."
Five decades later, the dangers posed by the lake, and rip currents are more clearly spelled out--yet too often ignored.
"Beaches that are government owned or have public access, signs would be posted explaining what rip currents are, and that if you enter the water once a rip current tide has been issued then you're subject to arrest," said Sen. Arnold.
A first offense would be considered a class B infraction and the violator would receive a ticket. The maximum fine would be $1,000.
"I definitely don't think that there's enough manpower to really police the beaches like they need to be policed," said Shawn Kaczmark of Long Beach, upon learning of the proposal. "I really don't think you can legislate the ability for people to be smart and to really treat the lake as being dangerous, I think that's a real hard thing to do and I don't think that ultimately the ability to give a ticket out for something like that would really add anything of any real value."
Susan Borman of Michigan City was in favor of the proposal. "I think it's a really good law, they should pass it. There's been too many people that's been killed and stuff and doesn't even look for the warning signs at all."
The bill would exempt those who want to surf Lake Michigan provided they wore the proper safety gear.
Lifeguards would not be able to write tickets, but could call the police if they witnessed violations.

VIRGINIA BEACH-Virginia Beach continues to dig out from the winter snow storm.
Public Works crews have been working around the clock since Tuesday night's snowfall.
Spokesman Drew Lankford says road crews will finish the 12-hour shifts they've been on since the storm, but they'll still have some crews at work.
"We think we have the worst behind us," he said during a live interview on 13News Now at Daybreak.
As you wake up Friday and leave your homes, be aware that snow is piled up alongside many streets and may be blocking storm drains. Snow that melted yesterday may have frozen overnight, creating black ice.

Sonic Youth was an American alternative rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. Their most recent lineup consisted of Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, guitar), Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals), Steve Shelley (drums) and Mark Ibold (guitar, bass guitar). In their early career, Sonic Youth was associated with the No Wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound.
The band experienced relative commercial success and critical acclaim throughout their existence, continuing partly into the new millennium, including signing to major label DGC in 1990 and headlining the 1995 Lollapalooza festival. Sonic Youth have been praised for having "redefined what rock guitar could do", using a wide variety of unorthodox guitar tunings and preparing guitars with objects like drum sticks and screwdrivers to alter the instruments' timbre. The band is considered to be a pivotal influence on the alternative rock and indie rock movements.

After suffering a neck or spinal injury, rehabilitation can be a long, hard road to recovery. A local man, who had the odds stacked against him, says staff at North Fulton Hospital didn't give up on him.
When Stuart Ross had an accident at his home, he was 79-years-old. It didn't look like he would ever recover, but that was before he met his physical therapists.
In his bow tie and suspenders, Ross, now 80, looks good. People call him Tooie, and he was born with a speech disorder called aphasia. His sister, Gwen, says it doesn't affect his personality. "He's always happy. He never complains. He loves people, particularly pretty nurses," said Gwendolyn Ross.He's seen a lot of nurses over the past year after a fall at home."I always try to stay behind him and catch him by the belt. Well, I was shutting a light off and he went around the corner and poof, down he went," said Gwendolyn.Ross broke his neck in the fall, a C-2 fracture. Doctors had to insert a breathing tube, but because of the injury and his age, rehab was almost out of the question."This is a man that they were considering sending to what's called a LTAC, or long-term acute care facility, because it didn't appear that he would come off the ventilator," said Dr. Alan Harben of North Fulton Hospital.But two North Fulton Hospital physical therapists wouldn't give up on him."You know, you could just see in Tooie that he had fight in him. And just talking with his sister and knowing where he'd come from and he had really fought all his life. We just knew he had this toughness in him. And we really wanted to give him the best chance he could have," said physical therapist Teresa Mcare.It's taken some time, but Ross is now walking better and farther than he did before his fall. His sister says he owes it all to the staff at North Fulton Hospital, who looked at Ross and still saw hope."I'm getting emotional, but he really, he would have died," said Gwendolyn. "There still are fantastic people out there that care, that are willing to work with a person and take the time to understand them."Ross can now walk twice the distance he could before his fall. He just celebrated his 80th birthday, and some of his physical therapists were there to celebrate with him.

Parents say the soccer fields proposed by the Brickyard Soccer Field Project are long overdue.
For nearly two years, the Brickyard Road Middle School site in the heart of Potomac has been embroiled in a heated battle between Montgomery County's mission to turn the site into youth soccer fields, and local activists' desire to save a 32-year-old organic farm. The most vocal of the fight's participants have opposed the county's plan, but soccer parents are starting to speak up.
"I really feel that the bottom line is that the people in Potomac—and many of my friends live there—they don't want the traffic, they don't want the hassle. But it's really not about that small group in Potomac. It has to be about what's best for the county," said Laurie Lane, a Clarksburg parent with three children who have played soccer in Montgomery County.
Since at least 2009, Montgomery County has planned to develop soccer fields at the site. It was originally set aside for a school, but for more than 30 years has been leased by the county school board to a farmer who grows organic crops. Opponents of the soccer fields say the county hasn't been forthcoming about the plans, and some, including as an asset to Montgomery County residents and public school children. Supporters of the soccer fields say the county needs more playing fields.
Demand for fields exceeding supply
There are a total of 400 ball field sites in Montgomery County with at least one ball field each, according to Ginny Gong, executive director of the county's Community Use of Public Facilities Office. In fiscal 2012, CUPF issued 4,508 permits for county ball fields, amounting to 188,384 hours of use. Only half of last year's permit applicants were actually given space, Gong said.
"The demand for field time exceeds the number of available fields in several areas of the county, but especially in areas such as Potomac, Bethesda and Rockville," Gong said. "Potomac/Bethesda are probably two of our highest demand areas."
Permits are issued on a historical basis—organizations that have previously used certain fields usually have first dibs on those fields during the next permitting season. Priority is given first to Montgomery County Public Schools and PTAs, followed by county or city recreation departments. Permits are next issued to league organizations and then individual teams or community users.
"Each year the leagues get bigger, but we don't have an increase in the number of fields from year-to-year to accommodate the increase in league participation," Gong said. "My staff tell me every field that can be booked is pretty much booked. The only reason it may not be booked is because it's being taken offline for maintenance."
The process for getting field permits is long and arduous, said Lane, who has worked as an administrator for the Potomac Soccer Club and is a booster parent for Clarksburg High School. That's especially true for newly formed teams that can't depend on historical usage of a field to save them a spot.
"You've got coaches and managers and kids who have paid for their uniforms and they need a place to practice," Lane said. "It's about providing the people in your community a place to go. If you've got little kids who are trying to play soccer or T-ball, they're not going to want to drive two hours in traffic around here to do that—they want to go around the corner."
Daniel Hayden, a Potomac parent with two children in soccer programs, said he's no stranger to long commutes for soccer practice.
"Our family adds considerably to congestion," Hayden said. "The home field for our child in the Bethesda Soccer Club is in Muldoon's Farm in Beallsville, which is 17 miles from Potomac. And the home field for our child in the Potomac Soccer Club in Germantown is 13 miles from Potomac."
Hayden said he thinks Montgomery County could have better handled the public process of leasing the Brickyard site from MCPS and avoiding controversy, but that the end result is good.
Shock, accusations and lawsuits
The Brickyard Soccer Field Project was an unwelcome shock to some in Potomac. Civic groups, including the West Montgomery County Citizens Association and the Brickyard Coalition, said that the plan resulted from backroom deals. Opponents accused Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) of skirting public process and making backroom deals with Montgomery Soccer, Inc., the group contracted to build and manage the soccer fields. Leggett firmly denies the allegations.
A state board found Montgomery County in violation of open government mandates multiple times throughout the controversy. County officials discussed plans for the soccer fields as far back as 2009, with closed meeting discussions continuing through 2010, The Gazette reported.
wrote that the school board was aware that the Potomac community would heavily oppose a decision to lease the land to the county for soccer fields and urged the county to begin the public notification process as quickly as possible. Still, on March 8, 2011, the school board heard comments from the public before ultimately deciding to sign a lease with the county.
The Maryland Open Meetings Law Compliance Board found in July 2011 that Montgomery County residents were not made sufficiently aware of the proceedings. in which they said the county failed to turn over public documents related to the controversy. Circuit Court Judge Ronald Rubin ordered the county to repeat a search and make public documents available.
Plans for the ball fields are on hold as a judge decides whether the school board acted within its rights to lease the land to Montgomery County. The case is an appeal of an earlier Maryland State Board of Education decision supporting the county board's lease with Montgomery County. Judge Robert Greenburg heard motions from both sides in county Circuit Court in Rockville on Friday, but has not yet ruled how the case should proceed.
The county's behavior in the controversy should not cloud the needs of county residents, Lane said.
"We want all of our county officials to be up front with the way they do business, but the land is still county land," she said. "I believe [Leggett] was trying to act in the best interests of the majority and not the minority.
"We have thousands of kids competing for fields in this county."

Our course time limit is 6 hours which is equivalent to a 13:45 minute-per-mile pace. This is a condition of our city permits which set up our police and medical coverage and allow us to close streets for a certain period of time. For slower participants, the main issue is to get past the 8.5 mile mark close to the deadline. That is the spot on the course where you will be off the highway (Rt 127). We have a sweep bus that picks participants up starting at mile 6 if they are well behind the timeline. We don't like to use the sweep bus but it's a safety issue.
Our goal is to provide first class service to all our entrants, but we also want to be fair to the hundreds of volunteers who staff our aid stations and provide traffic control at the intersections. We guarantee that a 6:00:00 finisher has access to the same services that our first finishers receive both on the course and at the finish area. After 6 hour pace we do not guarantee that aid stations will be available, medical services will be in place, or that finish area services will be available, but we do have a crew on hand to take care of later finishers. As part of that crew I think that the response from later finishers has been overwhelmingly positive over the years for what we are able to provide.

When a contract exists in your mind only
- Published In
Salespeople sometimes dig themselves into a hole by leaping into action at the very first sign of interest from a prospect.
Maybe something like that has happened to you. Perhaps you had a "good initial discussion" with a prospect, and, based on that conversation, you agreed to invest time and energy gathering information, working up prices and putting together your presentation.
Then what happened? You kept your word. You delivered your presentation in a competent, professional manner. As you wrapped up, you felt confident that one of two things was going to happen: You were either going to get the sale (which was what you wanted), or at the very least, you were going to obtain a clear decision. Instead, you got one objection after another, followed by a series of stalls, and finally, you left with nothing more than the prospect's promise to give your presentation some "careful thought."
Unfortunately, the above scenario is a common one. If your expectation about what will be achieved during a meeting and how it will be achieved is different from that of the people with whom you are meeting, it's a sure bet that someone (you) will leave the meeting with unfulfilled expectations – likely accompanied by feelings of frustration and resentment – and no sale. In this case, the salesperson might want to blame the prospect for being noncommittal or even misleading.
Perhaps, however, the salesperson is missing something.
Before you volunteer to get started with any work involved in a new relationship, it makes sense to establish clear, appropriate expectations and time investments on both sides. How do you do that? Lots of salespeople are familiar with the Sandler concept of the Up-Front Contract, under which both sides agree ahead of time about what the ground rules of a discussion will look like, and what the possible outcomes of the exchange will be. Yet too many salespeople end up attempting to establish "contracts" that do not require the prospect to do much of anything! In reality, that is more of an up-front surrender.
Over the phone, at the end of that "good initial discussion," the up-front contract where the prospect is fully engaged might sound like this:
You: "Beth, why don't you pick a day when you can invite me in for an hour and we can determine if the type of targeted marketing programs my company has created for other distributors would make sense for you."
Beth chooses Tuesday from 10 to 11 a.m.
You: "That's great. Can we set aside an hour for this discussion?"
Beth agrees.
You: "Wonderful. When we get together in person, it would be helpful if you would provide me with some samples of your previous successful marketing campaigns – to help me develop a more complete picture of exactly what your customers respond to. Would you be comfortable doing that?"
Beth agrees.
You: "That would be great. Then, I could share with you the approach I would take and explain what would be involved. If you are comfortable with my approach, we would then have to discuss the various aspects of implementation such as objectives, timelines, budgets, people and so on. If we get that far, I could then put together a formal presentation for you. But, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. When we get together next Tuesday, let's focus on determining if there's a good fit between us. Does that make sense to you?"
Notice the three questions in bold. You must receive a positive response to these questions in order to have a "contract." If Beth is uncomfortable or unwilling to commit to the defined actions, is there any point in having the meeting? (Hint: the answer is "no.")
By engaging your prospect to make clear commitments and to actually do something before the meeting, you'll spend more of your valuable time with people who are just as invested as you are in producing a positive outcome. You'll get out of the cycle of doing all the up-front work. You'll avoid long meetings with "decision makers" who won't really make decisions – and you'll close more sales.

"Ripening fruit upon the trees
In the August sun;
Cornflelds swaying in the fields,
When the day is done."
by Mary Boyd Wagner
Hubby has some potatoes growing beside the walkway toward the backyard. Across from the potatoes' lush green leaves are our two new rose bushes. The peachy-colored one is in bloom, alongside the also blooming yellow bush. They are lovely to see. Even the vinca vine, on the trellis outside our front hall, is creeping up the side of our home with lovely lavender flowers. Our tomato plants are not too big because Hubby wasn't able to plant them until the Fourth of July.
On May 17, Hubby and I were at Florian Hall for this year's Parade of Seniors luncheon. I was delighted to help my pal Loretta Philbrick at one of the registration desks. The registration went well. The coordinators for the event, Joe and Carol Chaisson, were worried about the preparations because Joe had been ill just before the event. They're such hard-working pros, however, that the luncheon went off beautifully, When we went into the hall, after the registration was over, we could hear our friend Michael Pratt singing to the large crowd. I was amazed that Mike could entertain for the full three hours, with very few breaks.
So many of the local politicians made an appearance at the luncheon. It was first announced, however, that our former City Councillor, Maureen Feeney, was in the hospital because of gallbladder surgery. We all wished Maureen big get-well wishes. Reps. Linda Dorcena Forry and Marty Walsh, along with Councillors Frank Baker and Ayanna Presley, were at the luncheon. Ed Merritt, president and CEO of the Mt. Washington Bank, received a huge round of applause because of the bank's continuing support of the luncheon. Each of us received a wonderful boxed luncheon. Florian's waitresses were wonderful, as usual, seeing to our every need.
Joe and Carol would like to thank all those who helped make the luncheon such a success: Loretta Philbrick, Paul Nutting, Joe Costa, Mary Shea, Steve Malley, Jill Baker, Millie Rooney, Marie Marshall, Marty Hogan, Carol Murphy, Christine Hogan, Eileen Boyle, Hubby, and me. We were happy to assist Joe and Carol in making this year's Parade of Seniors so successful. I understand that it was Gloria Vieira who made the lovely afghan that was one of the prizes given at the luncheon. John Scannell sang "When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New" beautifully. Special thanks must be given to Michael Pratt for co-hosting the event with Joe at Florian Hall and for performing for the entire three hours. (He was positively wonderful!) All who attended the luncheon must thank, again, Joe and Carol Chaisson for all their work in putting together this wonderful event, attended by several hundred people.
I was heartbroken to read of the death of my friend Mary Cobb on Aug. 4. Although we didn't bump into each other very often, it was always a joy to see and chat with her when we did meet. More often than not, it was at Gerard's, with her cousin Corina. She would tell me about her terrific grandchildren. We had a little joke between us. Every time I would write about her, I would call her "the wonderful Mary Cobb." For weeks after that, her brother Joe Gaffney would kid her about being "wonderful." I remember that I met Mary through our mutual friend, Alice McDonald. (Alice was the first person I met, other than my immediate neighbors, when I moved to Neponset almost 50 years ago.) I have since discovered that Alice and Mary met at Gerard's for dinner each Tuesday for 40 years. I send my sympathy to Mary's husband George and to their children: Michael, Christopher, Stephen, Brian, Celeste, Jack, and Brendan. She was the sister of the late John and Joe Gaffney. She will be greatly missed.
Just over a year ago, I received a magnet, reminding me to put Matt and JoAnne's wedding day (Aug. 4, 2012) on the 2012 calendar. I already had a 2012 calendar so I put a big circle on that day. The magnet went on the fridge. JoAnne's grandparents JoAnn (Parodi) and Bill Leary have been my close friends for almost 50 years. JoAnne's Mom, Lorrie (Leary) White, has been a good friend of my daughter Sue's for most of their lives. At least three months ago, daughter Sue went on the Internet and made the plane, hotel, and rent-a-car reservations. She not only made the reservations for the two of us, she also made two more reservations for Ann Pearce and her daughter Julie. Ann had been the maid of honor at the bride-to-be's grandparents' wedding back in June of 1960. We would be traveling to Florida for the wedding as a foursome.
The date seemed so far away but suddenly, it was the week before we were to leave for the wedding. Hubby brought down my big suitcase from the attic. (He was going to stay home with our cat and Sue's.) I thought I had done a good job of packing. I hadn't, but more about that later.
I was up at 4 a.m. on Aug. 2. I called Sue and got her up. Hubby and I ate an early breakfast. He loaded our car with Sue's luggage and mine and we were off to Logan just about 7 a.m. We saw Ann and Julie at Dunkin' Donuts, near the Jet Blue counter. They had already checked in. Thank goodness Sue had printed our boarding passes so we only had to get into one line. I had to go through the "Body Scanner' because of my "new" knees. Everything went well.
About 9:30 a.m., we were flying down the runway, on our way to the West Palm Beach Airport. Almost everyone on the plane dozed off for at least a little while. The flight was pleasantly uneventful. When we arrived in Florida, the four of us went to the Enterprise Car Rental desk. A mini-bus was made available to us Enterprise customers, ferrying us to the rent-a-car area. Sue had wisely ordered an SUV because of the four large luggage bags. I said to Julie, "I hope we get a pretty white SUV." Along came Sue, driving a lovely white Ford Edge SUV. It was gorgeous. I dubbed it "our white chariot." Julie had wisely brought her GPS with her so we had no problem finding our hotel, the Inn at Boynton Beach, formerly the Holiday Inn. The hotel was great, with a helpful staff. The lobby was beautiful. To get to our rooms, we had to walk over a tiny bridge that had gorgeous flowers on either side. The room had two big beds and a lovely bathroom.
After a brief nap, we four decided to attend the cocktail hour at the hotel. There were mainly pizza bites as appetizers. There were cans of soda and even beer ("only two, please"). The four of us decided that we would go for a drive to explore the neighborhood. With Julie's GPS on the windshield, the four of us set out. We found Rte. A1A and started down that road. The beach was on the left and the intercoastal waterway was on the right. Never had we seen such gorgeous homes, almost like mini-castles. We tried to guess which one was Jennifer Lopez's. We oohed and aahed our way through Del Ray and into Boca Raton. We did see the Del Ray Beach Club on the left. The wedding reception was to be there on Saturday afternoon. It had started to get dark, so we decided that we should go back to the hotel.
As we drove along, we decided to get something to eat. We saw a Panera Restaurant. Ann and Julie said that they liked Panera very much. Sue had eaten there once but I had never been in one. We were so pleased with the food. I had a tuna sandwich (all white tuna) on some type of honey bread that was positively scrumptious. The four of us were well fed as we left the restaurant. We decided to go back to the hotel. Just before we turn into the hotel's parking lot, we saw several businesses with tiki-fires outside. There were also some businesses with the palm trees, the trunks of which were wrapped with tiny yellow lights, with green lights in among the palm leaves. They looked beautiful.
After we arrived at the hotel, the four of us were tired from the long day and would get to bed early. Friday would be a busy day, As I got ready for bed, I pulled out my glucometer, which I need to see what my blood sugar reading was. To my dismay, I had forgotten the strips that go into the meter. It was just a few minutes before 10 p.m. Maybe we could find a CVS open. Down Sue and I went to our "white chariot." The CVS closest to the hotel had just closed. We said, "Perhaps the Walgreen's that is open 24 hours could help us." We drove to that store and discovered that the pharmacy closes at 9 p.m. even though the store is open 24 hours. (Perhaps the pharmacies stay open later in the evening during the winter when so many "snowbirds" descend on Florida but not in the summer when it is hot and humid.) We went back to the hotel. What should I do? There will be a lot more about our trip to FL next week.
I thought this was a wonderful thought, by Johannes "Meister" Eckhert, that I saw in a magazine: "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was 'Thank you,' that would suffice."

Game Boy modified to play GBA, GBC, and of course GB carts. Since CRTdrone replaced its internals with GBA SP parts, it also features a rechargeable battery!
Even with compatibility for all those games, I imagine it's difficult to play titles that require the GBA's shoulder buttons. Still, this vibrant color display on an old Game Boy will certainly turn a few heads.
