I sent him my paypal info for a refund.
Thanks Link. I did too.
"I for one don't accept the excuses Hendrik claims. Many of us in the same time period balanced busy jobs, growing families and building extensions to our homes. We know what we have and are committing too."I am not giving Hendrik a "pass Go Free" card. I can be pretty vocal and irk people with my opinions -- as has already been pointed out in this thread. Aside from the moral and ethical issues at hand, I can't be too critical as I did not donate to the cause. So I won't directly pass judgement on this particular issue. To be honest, I wasn't that interested in the content to begin with.It is a shame that there has been a lot of public criticism of the ULA2Z and it appears the first response or offer to reimburse money just occurred.
He deposited my refund into my paypal account yesterday.
UPDATE:Hendrik emailed this today:Hei everyone!Here's the latest with the production of Ultralight A-Z.In case you missed the previous mention, this project is running late. I underestimated how long this would take and it's still going to be a while before the last episode launches. I'm concentrating on making this series the best I can and my impression is that the vast majority of you support this. If any of you find this unacceptable, message me and we'll work it out. I want everyone happy. My priority is for this to be as good as I can make it, and that's going to take lots of time, much more than I could have imagined when I started working on this.I'm currently spending a lot of my time doing client work to make ends meet. This slows - but not stops - progress, but is unavoidable.Backers who get a T-Shirt should check their Inbox for a Survey Email. DVDs will follow when the series is done.Below is a still from one of the coming Episodes, which will conclude the kitchen and stoves segment. Then it's two more Episodes and the free-for-all version will launch, which will be very exciting!As always, I appreciate your support & your patience./hendrik"Running late is untrue.. 2 years behind this week after being funded is the truth.He was making videos before launch and had costed his time in to film each episode. So he was paid to make them. He had the funds and time.Still no sorry to the BPL members here. No I will sort the missing episodes already made and address the questions. Nothing, all he does is jet off to outdoor shows, get more gear and ignore the questions. Seems a case of no priority and this email update is poor as he has stated on his update to finish by the end of August.
An Update has been posted to the MLIFE Forum about the series, including links to all previous Episodes.
So what happened to all the money and the finish by August deadline? Backers have a right to know and not just MFL forum members.
Hendrik posted an update to all his Kickstarter backers last evening. I for one am totally happy with the speed at which Hendrik has been releasing these. He may have promised a faster delivery date but honestly if they were coming out much faster I'd probably not have watched them all yet.
I think Hendrik works for Big Sky... : O
Interesting update Hendrik.You tell us the videos take a long time to film and make. Then post a still photo from a recent episode you claim to be making. Yet I note the photo seems to be the same scene from a recent climbing trip you took (all photos are by Hendrik Morkel)Trip reporthttp://hikinginfinland.com/2013/07/climbing-at-havukallio.htmlYou say you were climbing 10h a day. Tired and socialising with others in the evening. Yet you managed to make more videos. So were you being truthful on this claim to have been out filming more A-Z videos? Where you being truthful in the claim they take up lots of your time to make? Seems odd if you now can make them while out climbing doing 10h daysWhat really is happening Hendrik? Seems more questions than answers.
Edited by rye1966 on 08/10/2013 02:45:26 MDT.
Martin, thanks for the link to Hendrik's climbing article. This comment by Hendrick in his article caught my attention -- "I learned that it's not bad to fall on lead." More than 40 years ago, when I was trying to learn to climb, by mentor told me that the number one rule for leading is this: "The leader never falls." Now it's seems to be different. Falling is OK, even by the leader. Corollary to that must be that failure is not bad. And that's progress?
"More than 40 years ago, when I was trying to learn to climb, by mentor told me that the number one rule for leading is this: "The leader never falls.""Key to that is 40 years ago. Ropes, harnesses, protection pieces, belay devices are much muuuuch better now. when that "rule" came out people were leading on goldline or hemp rope, placing pitons and doing a hip belay. So falling was not a good option since it was far less safe. Now you have nice dynamic ropes, good trad gear, comfortable/supportive harnesses and belay devices that make catches much easier. still, today you need to know when a fall will be ok or not. there are still "no fall" zones where you could deck, hit something, pull a less than stellar placement etc. I still have not taken a fall on trad gear but have taken plenty on bolts, i'd like to keep it that way.
Thought this was kinda cheesy."Ken,refund sent. I appreciate your support and am sorry that I am not faster in producing the Episodes. No DVD, though you stay on the list to watch the series. I'd appreciate if you don't go around telling that I issue refunds, there's enough talk about the project as is.Have a nice weekend,/hendrik"Like my Mom would say, You made that bed...
Ken yet more breathtaking arrogance from Hendrik. He should have said he would make it up to you. Have a DVD on me and sorry I failed, broke promise after promise. How he will get a full account of monies spent out in the public domain, and give a proven breakdown of film time and efforts to make more episodes. Not: "I'd appreciate if you don't go around telling that I issue refunds, there's enough talk about the project as is" - unreal yet again from Hendrik. Thanks for sharing the facts. I refused his offer to refund way back as he was seeking to deflect my questions. I wont allow him that.

"Corollary to that must be that failure is not bad. And that's progress?"It must be a Finnish cultural thing.--B.G.--
Edited by rOg_w on 09/08/2013 18:01:52 MDT.
Should I feel dirty?
Bob,I think Hendrik is German.
Hmmm Bob. Let's get that thinking cap on. Does Hendrik Morkel seem like a Finnish name? He's half Dutch / half German, apparently.(Though he could use a healthy dose of sisu to get on with fulfilling his promises and commitments.)p.s. Ken, I'd broadcast that refund offer to The Four Winds.

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME: Boston 7, NYI 2Islanders must address Tambellini problem
As the decisions begin to pile up on Garth Snow's desk – what to do with Josh Bailey today, how to adjust the roster if Kyle Okposo returns tomorrow and Mike Sillinger returns next week – add one to the list. This has now officially gone on too long with Jeff Tambellini, and the Islanders must get in fix-it mode immediately. There is one obvious remedy.
After today's team-low 9:20 of ice (1 shot, 2 penalties) in a 7-2 loss in Boston, Tambellini now has 0 goals and 2 assists in 22 games with the Islanders this season, 1 goal in his last 52 games as an Islander. He has not scored a goal in his last 40 games. The idea that Jeff's game can make the transition in the midst of an NHL season to a more Andy Hilbert-like two-way style is ludicrous. To be an effective player, Tambellini has to be reliable in his own end and contribute at least 15-20 goals a season. Neither is happening right now.
Call it a band-aid, but there is a partial solution. The Collective Bargaining Agreement allows a player to be sent to the minors for "conditioning" for two weeks – without having to clear waivers – if the player agrees to it. If they haven't already (one has to believe they have), the Islanders must consider a conditioning stint for the left wing in Bridgeport.
Tambellini's struggles may not have killed the Islanders up to this point, but today's 7-2 loss in Boston – in which the 170-pound Scott Gordon student David Krejci powered his way to the kind of goal that Tambellini has not – really put his struggles under the magnifying glass. To be generous, there have been perhaps 5 games this season when Tambellini has made a positive impact. It is now at a point where even if you choose to look at this as the coldest of businesses, his value as an asset is now minimal.
Since Tambellini has a one-way contract for this season and for next season, the odds are slim a team would snatch him off the waiver wire if he was sent to Bridgeport the traditional route. Nevertheless, the team and Tambellini should work out a conditioning agreement that's best for everyone. The left wing can play for Jack Capuano in the same system for two weeks in the American Hockey League, score a few goals, build up his confidence, value and everything else.
This has gone on far too long for Jeff, a very skilled player and a terrific young man I had the pleasure to work with. He's Islanders royalty, but for reasons far beyond being his father's son, Jeff deserves every chance to get it right here. I'm sure the last thing the franchise wants is to see a talented youngster thrive somewhere else. Still, Tambellini is now at a crossroads, and for two weeks of games the Islanders must have a better option somewhere in the farm system.
Two Steps Back: On Wednesday night the Islanders were one period away from reaching .500. Ten minutes after the Sid & Geno show had ended and the Penguins had come back to win the game, an Islanders fan was still in the Coliseum stands, his head in his hands but with plenty to say.
"What a setback," he said, sitting in his seat adjacent to the tunnel where the players (and media) head to the locker room. "We close out this game the way we should have, we're at .500, we've now beaten the Penguins and a bunch of good teams and all of a sudden XM, Versus, TSN and everyone else has us in the conversation about the other competitive teams across the league."
Today the Islanders were down 2-1 in the third period when Manny Fernandez stopped Bill Guerin on a breakaway. Before you knew it, the score was 4-1 and Peter Mannino was making his NHL debut while Joey MacDonald was steaming on the Islanders' bench.
The Islanders have made a lot of progress the last few weeks despite some major injuries and while learning a difficult, punishing (Ken Hitchcok's word) new system. Even in their train-wreck moments, they've been a blast to watch and at times highly effective. On Wednesday night the Islanders were one period away from reaching .500. Now they are 9-12-2.
These last two games proved they are not ready to be considered in the top half of the league. In the marathon of the NHL season, there is still plenty of time.
ETC: An agitated Billy Jaffe in the final seconds of today's third period blowout, as Michael Ryder was camped out in searched of a hat trick: "Somebody's gotta put him on his butt in front of the net! I know there's four seconds left, but you gotta do it. Do it for the kid in net, Mannino."
Gordon called today's performance, "Our worst game since the Buffalo game." The coach said he pulled MacDonald because he is playing tomorrow at the Coliseum against Ottawa and he didn't want the goalie subjected any more to the Boston onslaught and the Islanders not backing each other up.
Nate Thompson (almost 12 minutes) and Jeremy Colliton (10) – the only Islanders today at plus-1.
Weekly reminder: do not wait for a trade to change this team. All solutions will likely have to be found on the Islanders and Bridgeport rosters, and from players coming off the injured list. See you at the Coliseum tomorrow.

Video: Obama: Take Politics Out of Debate on Guns and Debt
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama held his last news conference of his first term at the White House Monday morning.
President Barack Obama says Congress' failure to raise the government's borrowing authority would delay payments of benefits to veterans and Social Security recipients. He again warned that he will not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling, aiming to pin the burden of an unprecedented default on congressional Republicans.
The government has hit its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit and is expected to run out of ways to meet all of its obligations around March 1, perhaps earlier. Republicans wants spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
Threatening to not raise the debt ceiling, Obama said, is "absurd."
Without an increase, the government would not have enough money to pay interest to debt holders and pay for all government programs.
President Barack Obama says he's reviewing a list of proposals from Vice President Joe Biden about how to reduce gun violence and expects to present specifics later this week.
Obama says stronger background checks, a meaningful ban on assault weapons and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines are all ideas he thinks make sense. He says he's not sure how many of those measures can pass Congress.
Obama says in a news conference in the East Room of the White House that he expects Congress to set aside politics and focus on common-sense steps that can make a difference.
Obama asked Biden to lead a task force on ways to reduce violence after the December massacre in Newtown, Conn., that killed 27 people - mostly children.

Behind the jersey barriers where the tracks are located can be found burn marks, broken windshields that were dropped there by motorist who disposed of them after the blast and even small pieces of metal from the truck itself. The Utah Department of Transportation was able to get the road operating again within less than 48 hours after the incident, something many felt would take much longer.

Last summer during a severe thunderstorm the Flying spaghetti Monster came to me in a revelation and explained to me how it was crazy of me to sail during a thunderstorm. I thanked him for his wisdom and said several hail Flying spaghetti Monster prayers while returning to a sheltered bay. He listened to my prayers and I got me there safely. Some would say it was just because I am a skilled sailor or that it is great that some one invented a diesel motor that I got there safely. I think that it is because he cares deeply about my well being and listens to ever word I say or think.
That because I am a dedicated believer unlike so many others who will not reap the benefits and protection of such a wonderful caring being.

Hi all,
I am trying slimming world for the first time, and have lost 12lbs since 22nd May. I don't have any friends who are losing weight and the people in my group are all quite a bit older than me. (I'm 29)
Anyway, I have signed up to do Run or Dye in October and have never done anything like this ever before. I am looking for a buddy who might be local so we can encourage each other with our weight loss and maybe train together too towards Run or Dye.
Sorry if this is not allowed.

Attendance Policies
Absence and Tardy Policy
Student punctuality and attendance is vital to avoid classroom disruption and to promote a solid learning environment. For these reasons, HHS has developed a policy for dealing with student tardiness and cuts.
Tardy Policy – Students are considered tardy when they arrive to class after the second bell (the tardy bell) and within the first 15 minutes of class. After 15 minutes, it is considered an unverified absence. Parents may not excuse a tardy. Incidents of tardiness will be handled on a class-by-class basis. The first three tardies will be dealt with by the teacher. After the 4th tardy, the student will be referred to the Dean who will assign one hour of detention. Each tardy thereafter will result in additional detention. If a student does not report for detention, the assigned detention will double in length. Additional tardiness or failure to report for assigned detention may result in forfeit of extra-curricular activities, suspension, and/or removal from the class.
Unexcused Absence (Cut) Policy – Students with one or more unexcused absences (cuts) cannot participate in extracurricular activities (sports, drama, music programs, clubs, dances, etc.) on the day of the absence. Cuts will be handled by the Deans. Cutting classes will result in parent/guardian contact, a conference with the Dean, and detention. Continued truancy may result in forfeit of extra-curricular activities, suspension, referral to the Truancy Abatement Program and/or removal from the class.
Truancy Abatement Program — According to California Education Code (48260.5[a]), any student who has 3 or more unexcused absences over 3 days or has more than 10% excused absences is considered truant. Truant students may have school privileges (such as dances) revoked. Habitual truants are referred to the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney for truancy mediation, may lead to fines of up to $400, required community service and forfeit of driver's license.
School Dances
On the day of the dance, students with an unverified absence (cut) in one or more of their classes will not be permitted to attend the dance.
Extended Absences
If for any reason a student is going to be absent for more than a week, the parent / guardian must contact the grade level deans. Extended absences for family trips are strongly discouraged. In addition to parents contacting the grade level administrator, the student should make arrangements for missed assignments with each teacher either by email or phone.
In the case of serious illness, the grade level Dean will work with the district nurse to make appropriate arrangements.

BUFFALO, NY--- The NHL Department of Player Safety has summoned Sabres forward Pat Kaleta to a hearing regarding an incident in Thursday night's game against Columbus.
The incident in question involves an illegal check to the head. In the first period, Kaleta is seen taking several strides before checking Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson.
Kaleta was offered an in-person hearing as required by the Collective Bargaining Agreement for any suspension that can exceed five games.
Kaleta received a five game suspension in March for hitting the Rangers Brad Richards from behind.
Since it has been less than 18-months since his last incident, Kaleta could get a significant punishment.

|Watauga Election Issues Before State Board
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 03 September 2013 06:01
The drama over the controversy of Boone Polling places takes a trek to Raleigh today, with the State Board of Elections agenda of three items all involving controversy over municipal voting. Dozens of college students will converge on the meeting to watch what occurs in the Montravias King issue,
the Pasquotank County college student denied his chance to run for City Council in Elizabeth City for using his campus address. Other students are concerned over student ID's being disallowed for voting identification. Then there are two appeals of one-stop voting plans—Watauga and Pitt Counties—both university communities. That meeting is at 1pm. But the decisions in Raleigh could be moot with the agenda of the Watauga County Board of Elections including the withdrawal of their earlier resolution combining three Boone precincts into one on their agenda for late tomorrow afternoon. The agenda for Wednesday's meeting from board by Secretary Bill Aceto indicates action to reverse that very controversial plan to remove two Boone polling places, creating one of the largest polling places in the state. A barrage of even national criticism has poured in since their August meetings, possibly prompting the about face. The new resolution calls the controversy 'misinformation,' saying "The Watauga County Board of Elections is concerned that the misinformation being distributed regarding this recombination of this precinct will result in voter confusion." The resolution indicates that the board will "study this matter further and allow for all citizens to have accurate and complete information prior to the recombination of this precinct." A second resolution, should the first pass, is for the Boone 2 polling place be moved from the Plemmons Student Union to Legends, citing better handicap-accessibility, the distance from curbside voting, and better parking—but allowing on-campus voting. The meeting is Wednesday at 5.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA (CBSNews.com) - South African police say the lead investigator in the case against double-amputee Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius faces attempted murder charges in an October 2011 shooting.
Police Brig. Neville Malila said Thursday that detective Hilton Botha is scheduled to appear in court in May on seven counts of attempted murder. Malila says Botha and two other police officers fired shots while trying to stop a minivan in the incident.
Malila said police learned Wednesday, the same day that Botha appeared in court to oppose Pistorius' bail application, that the charges against Botha and the two others had been reinstated by the Director of Public Prosecutions. They were initially dropped following the shooting incident.
Malila said police were waiting for details from the Botha case file from the prosecutor.
Medupe Simasiku, the spokesman for the prosecutors charging Pistorius with premeditated murder, said he couldn't say how the charges against Botha would affect their case against Pistorius.
It was clear they could undermine it, however.
Botha was the lead investigator in an assault claim against Pistorius in 2009. Pistorius' lawyers said police arrested the athlete and held him overnight at a police station and said they will pursue a lawsuit against police for wrongful arrest.
"The (Pistorius) prosecutors were not aware of those charges (against Botha)," Simasiku, of the National Prosecution Agency, said. "We are calling up the information so we can get the details of the case. From there we can take action and see if we remove him from the investigation or if he stays."
The prosecution case against Pistorius began to unravel Wednesday with revelations of a series of police blunders and Botha's admission that authorities have no evidence challenging the double-amputee Olympian's claim he killed his girlfriend accidentally.
Pistorius faces a charge of premeditated murder.
Botha's often confused testimony left prosecutors rubbing their heads in frustration as he misjudged distances and said testosterone -- banned for professional athletes in some cases -- was found at the scene, only to be later contradicted by the prosecutor's office.
The second day of what was supposed to be a mere bail hearing almost resembled a full-blown trial for the 26-year-old runner, with his lawyer, Barry Roux, tearing into Botha's testimony step-by-step during cross-examination.
Police, Botha acknowledged, left a 9 mm slug from the barrage that killed Reeva Steenkamp inside a toilet and lost track of illegal ammunition found inside the house. And the detective himself walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, potentially contaminating the area.
Authorities, Roux asserted, were selectively taking "every piece of evidence to try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court."
The case has riveted South Africa, with journalists and the curious crowding into the brick-walled courtroom where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine's Day slaying.
Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prosecutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered behind a locked bathroom door.
The day seemed to start out well for the prosecution, with Botha offering new details of the shooting that appeared to call into question Pistorius' account of the moments leading up to the 29-year-old model's death.
Ballistic evidence, he said, showed the bullets that killed her had been fired from a height, supporting the prosecution's assertion that Pistorius was wearing prosthetic legs when he took aim at the bathroom door. The athlete has maintained he was standing only on his stumps, and felt vulnerable and frightened as he opened fire from a low position.
Projecting a diagram of the bedroom and the bathroom, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said it showed Pistorius had to walk past his bed to get to the bathroom and could not have done so without seeing that Steenkamp was not asleep there.
"There's no other way of getting there," Nel said in disputing Pistorius' claim that he had no idea Steenkamp was no longer in bed when he pumped four bullets into the bathroom door, striking her with three.
Botha backed the prosecutor up, saying the holster for Pistorius' 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, where Steenkamp slept, and it would have been impossible for Pistorius to get the gun without checking to see if she was there.
"I believe that he knew that Reeva was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door," the detective said.
Botha described how bullets struck Steenkamp in the head and shattered her right arm and hip, eliciting sobs from Pistorius, who held his head in hands.
However, when asked if Steenkamp's body showed "any pattern of defensive wounds" or bruising from an assault, Botha said "no." He again responded "no" when asked if investigators found anything inconsistent with Pistorius' version of events, though he later said nothing contradicted the police version, either.
Testimony began with the prosecutor telling the court that, before the shooting, a neighbor heard "nonstop" shouting between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. at Pistorius' upscale home in a gated community in the capital, Pretoria.
However, Botha later said under cross-examination that the witness was in a house 600 yards away, possibly out of earshot. He cut that estimate in half when questioned again by the prosecutor, as confusion reigned for much of his testimony.
At one point, Botha told the court police found syringes and two boxes of testosterone in Pistorius' bedroom -- testimony the prosecution later withdrew, saying it was too early to identify the substance, which was still being tested.
"It is not certain (what it is) until the forensics" are completed, Medupe Simasiku, a spokesman for South Africa's National Prosecution Agency, told The Associated Press. It's not clear if it was "a legal or an illegal medication for now."
The defense also disputed the claim. "It is an herbal remedy," Roux said. "It is not ... a banned substance."
Still, Botha offered potentially damaging details about Pistorius' past, saying the athlete was once involved in an accidental shooting at a restaurant in Johannesburg and asked someone else "to take the rap."
The runner also threatened men on two separate occasions, Botha said, allegedly telling one he'd "break his legs."
The detective said police found two iPhones in Pistorius' bathroom and two BlackBerrys in his bedroom, and none had been used to phone for help. Guards at the gated community did call the athlete, Botha said, and all he said was "I'm all right," as he wept uncontrollably.
Roux later suggested that a fifth phone, not collected by the police, was used by Pistorius to call for help.
The question now is whether Botha's troubled testimony will be enough to convince Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair to keep Pistorius in prison until trial. While Pistorius faces the harshest bail requirements under South African law, the magistrate has said he would consider loosening them based on testimony in the hearing. Final arguments were scheduled for Thursday.

Get The Look: Camilla Belle
- 1 of 24
"I've always thought Camilla looked a lot like Elizabeth Taylor," says makeup artist Brett Freedman. "So with her new haircut I wanted to do a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof makeup look." He prepped Belle's skin with Dermalogica's Active Moist Lotion ($56) then reached for Laura Mercier's Silk Crème Foundation ($43).
- 2 of 24
Freedman applied Benefit's Fake Up Concealer ($24) under Belle's eyes and set her skin with Coty's Loose Translucent Face Powder ($7). "This concealer is super moisturizing," he says.
- 3 of 24
Instead of blush, Freedman applied Stila's Convertible Color ($25) in Lillium in the hollows of Belle's cheekbones and Lorac's Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder ($32) in Luminous on top of her cheekbones.
- 4 of 24
Pink can be tricky to wear on your eyes, so Freedman suggests layering a few products to make the look polished. He created a wash of color using M.A.C.'s Eye Shadow ($15) in Embrace Me around Belle's top and bottom lash line and crease, topped with loose powder, then the brand's shadow in Crystal Avalanche.
- 5 of 24
"This look is all about a full brow and lash," says Freedman. He applied Ardell's Individual Lashes ($4) in the short length to the middle of Belle's lash line, and the medium length to the outside of her eyes, then added L'Oreal's Voluminous Mascara ($8) and lightly curled her real and faux lashes together. He disguised any lash glue with Too Faced's 3-Way Lash Lining Tool ($22), flicking the eyeliner up at the end.
- 6 of 24
For a natural brow, Freedman recommends choosing a shade lighter than your brows. But if it's drama you're after, follow his lead and match the pencil to your brows exactly. Freedman used a pencil from his own line of brow products--Vanity Mark's Brow Pencil ($16) in Dark Choco. "Brush your brow with a spooley or clean mascara wand as you build the color to keep it even," he says.
- 7 of 24
Freedman applied Too Faced La Crème Lipstick ($21) in Marshmallow Bunny for a delicate, cotton-candy pink pout.
- 8 of 24
Hairstylist Bertrand W. and Belle have been plotting a drastic haircut for a while--the final decision being a long bob. "This cut allows for a lot of versatility," Bertrand W. says. "It's a square cut with very long layers just below her chin." For texture he added Fekkai's Advanced Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray ($23) to the actress' towel-dried locks.
- 9 of 24
To protect Belle's new cut from heat damage, Bertrand W. applied Fekkai's Defense Pre-Style Thermal UV Protectant ($25) and rough-dried her locks with his hands. Once her hair was fully dry he created curls with a one-inch iron, keeping the actress' roots pressed against her scalp to keep the style sleek.
- 10 of 24
Bertrand W. raked his hands through Belle's locks and gently shook her hair out before adding a dose of Rene Furterer's Glossing Spray ($23).

Comments about Olympia WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
I chose Olympia in shades of 101 and 22..Both great shades for older women as myself.. I'm 69 and work with all young women below 40 and have influenced them to try new fashions in clothes, heels, and hair. Most don't even know it is a wig unless I slip and tell.. Olympia actually has allowed me the freedom to feel young and look young..and yes even sexy..Ladies I recommend you try Olympia at least once and hear the compliments roll in. Be bold and go for length, style. and carefreeness of Olympia. I would not leave home without it..
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this wig
By Cats
from Virginia
After my first Olympia wig I bought a second. The wig is great for thinning hair. It covers the natural hair line well. Looks so natural people can't believe it's a wig. I never leave home without my Olympia wig.

Absolutely stunning!
By Holly
from Chicago, IL
This wig is a particularly pretty, flattering mid-length style with many styling options. It is one of the most attractive mid-length styles that I have tried over many years. The quality is excellent as well. The photos do not quite capture how very cute this style is.

via press release:
"Rock Center with Brian Williams" Will Move to Fridays Beginning February 8 (10-11 p.m. ET) Following "Dateline NBC"
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – November 30, 2012 – NBC will premiere the new drama "Do No Harm" on Thursday, January 31 (10-11 p.m. ET) following the hour-long series finale of the Emmy Award-winning "30 Rock" (8-9 p.m. ET) earlier that same night. In addition, "Rock Center with Brian Williams" will move to Fridays beginning February 8 (10-11 p.m. ET) following "Dateline NBC" (9-10 p.m. ET).
The announcements were made today by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment.
"January 31 will be a special night as one classic series will mark its finale with a great hour-long sendoff episode while a promising new drama will make its debut on Thursdays," said Greenblatt. "'30 Rock' is acclaimed as a legendary comedy and we will see a truly memorable and fitting last episode. In 'Do No Harm,' viewers will have a unique new dramatic storyline with an exciting new star in Steven Pasquale that takes them into dark and uncharted territory."
Details of the finale of "30 Rock" will be provided later.
"Grimm" will return to the schedule on Friday, March 8 (9-10 p.m. ET).
In "Do No Harm," Dr. Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale, "Rescue Me") is a highly respected neurosurgeon who has it all – a lucrative career, confident charm, the gift of compassion. But he also has a deep, dark secret. One morning when he wakes up disoriented in a wrecked hotel room amidst several near-naked women he's never seen before, he knows one thing: it's happening again. Every night at the same hour, something inside Jason changes, leaving him almost unrecognizable – seductive, devious, borderline sociopathic.
This new man is his dangerous alternate personality who goes by the name of "Ian Price." For years he's battled Ian, keeping him in check with a powerful experimental sedative. But now his – their – body has developed a resistance to the serum, setting Ian free once again. And to make matters worse, after being suppressed for so long, Ian's hell-bent on taking revenge on his oppressor. With everyone Jason cares about at risk – patients, friends, co-workers and even the woman he loves – he's got to stop Ian once and for all. Will they find some common ground, or will they bring each other down? Hell hath no fury like an alter ego scorned.
Also starring are Alana De La Garza ("Law & Order"), Michael Esper ("A Beautiful Mind"), Ruta Gedmintas ("The Borgias") and Phylicia Rashad ("The Cosby Show"). "Do No Harm" is produced by Universal Television and Traugott Company. The executive producer/writer is David Schulner ("Desperate Housewives," "The Event"). Peter Traugott ("Ringer") and Rachel Kaplan ("Ringer") also are executive producers. Michael Mayer (NBC's "Smash") is the co-executive producer and director.
In its seventh season, the critically acclaimed and multiple award-winning comedy series "30 Rock" is told through the comedic voice of Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner Tina Fey as variety show producer Liz Lemon. The series also features two-time Emmy and three-time Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin as top network executive Jack Donaghy and Emmy nominee Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, the unpredictable star of Lemon's variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life. Also rounding out the cast are three-time Emmy nominee Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney, the co-star of "TGS"; Scott Adsit as the variety show's producer Pete Hornberger; Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer as Kenneth, the over-eager NBC page; Judah Friedlander as Frank, the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; and Keith Powell as Toofer, the sophisticated yet sarcastic writer.
Overall, "30 Rock" has garnered 90 Emmy nominations, resulting in 14 wins. In 2009, the show won its third consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and also held the record for most comedy program Emmy nominations in a single year with 22 nominations. "30 Rock" has also won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, a Screen Actor's Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, three Producers Guild Danny Thomas Producer of the Year Awards in Comedy Episodic Television and three Writers Guild Awards (WGA) for Writing for a Comedy Series and three WGA Awards for Episodic Comedy, among others.
"30 Rock" is from Broadway Video & Little Stranger, Inc. in association with Universal Television. The executive producers are Lorne Michaels ("Saturday Night Live"), Tina Fey, David Miner, Marci Klein ("Saturday Night Live"), Robert Carlock ("Friends"), Jeff Richmond and Jack Burditt.

Not totally sure because I dont know exactly what Charlotte's cap figure it at right now but I believe they are under the cap.
The salary difference between the two is something like 5 million... we are under the cap and as long as Charlotte can absorb the extra 5 mill without exceeding the salary cap, then yes, technically it would work.
I am not that high on felton though and I think Al has more value than that.

Connie Schack also addressed the board concerning her belief that there are 80 missing feral cats that she feeds. Mayor Scott M. Burto said the village board cannot control cats that go missing. At a previous meeting, officials said the village does not have the funding to deal with the cat overpopulation problem.
The board approved a request by Rhonda Christman to park one car in the terrace at her residence because of a lack of parking.
The trustees authorized Mayor Burto contract with Bond, Schoeneck & King for union negotiation legal assistance. The firm will be paid $230 per hour with a one-way travel allowance.

Peluso will be Department of Public Works liaison and a member of the Utility Management Board.
Trustees David Z. Rounds Sr. and Scott J. Sullivan will be recreation liaisons. Mr. Rounds also will be the fire department liaison. Mr. Sullivan was appointed deputy mayor, Utility Management Board member and buildings and grounds liaison.
The following one-year appointed positions were made:
n DPW superintendent and parking control officer, Donald M. Monaghan.
n CIDC representative, Mark W. Keddy.
n Code enforcement officer, Peter M. Crump Jr.

MASSENA Massena Fire Department Chief Thomas C. Miller was stunned by the number of people who attended funeral services for the two Webster firefighters killed in a Christmas Eve shooting there.
Mr. Miller and seven other Massena firefighters were among the estimated 5,000 first responders at the funeral services Saturday for Lt. Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka at Webster Schroeder High School.
It was unbelievable the number of people that showed up, Mr. Miller said.
Mr. Chiapperini, 43, and Mr. Kaczowka, 19, were killed in the early hours of Dec. 24, after 62-year-old William H. Spengler set fire to his house and car in west Webster, a suburb east of Rochester, according to officials. When first responders arrived, Mr. Spengler opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, killing Mr. Chiapperini and Mr. Kaczowka.
Also struck by gunfire were firefighters Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, who are listed in stable condition at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester.
Mr. Miller was moved by the shooting, saying gunfire is something firefighters should never have to face.
Thats not something you expect to happen at the scene, Mr. Miller said. These are volunteers; that should never happen.
Attending the services with Mr. Miller were firefighters Paul D. Brownell, George Brouse, Scott Billings, Patrick J. Carr, Patrick M. OBrien, Matthew Chontosh and Brandon Sheets. Mr. Miller said no Massena firefighters knew the victims personally, but the close-knit community of first responders necessitated that they pay their respects.
It was a need for us to pay tribute to our fallen firefighters, he said.
Mr. Miller noted that firefighters have represented the Massena Fire Department after other tragedies involving first responders, such as the memorial services for the firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In light of the shooting, Mr. Miller said, his department would try to increase awareness when responding to calls.

Middle Bay The Best Fishing in Recent Memory
8/23/2013 | Posted by pgenoveseTags: Recreational, Maryland Fishing Challenge
Its no secret that Chesapeake Bay fishing from Podickory Point and the mouth of the Chester River all the way to Sharps Island has been spectacular this summer.
Evidence of the excellent action is the tsunami of Diamond Jim Recaptures currently being certified by DNR for the Maryland Fishing Challenge more than 50 at this moment with 11 days of fishing left before the midnight September 2 deadline.
In the mix and up the creeks are croakers and seemingly endless schools of white perch. Early bird anglers in Eastern Bay and around the Tilghman Island stumps are tickling up specks and puppy drum.
Meanwhile, further south from Bloodsworth Island to Tangier, anglers are scoring lower Bay slams of chopper blues, speckled trout and redfish all keepers, like never before.
Take it from us and other anglers who have called this the best summer of fishing.
Dont miss it.
Launch your boat, hop on with a friend, book a charter --- the charter captains know right where to go.

1918 - 2008 HELPER - Beloved husband, father and grandfather, Mike J. Svetich, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Aug. 5, 2008.
Mike was born May 8, 1918 in Bingham Canyon to Pete and Matilda (Barich) Svetich. At an early age, he moved to Mutual, where he and his four sisters, Mary, Katie, Mildred and Anne, grew up.
When Mike was 12 years old, he met a girl named Dorothy Louise Kilgore for the first time and told her he was going to marry her when they grew up. They were married on Aug. 23, 1941 and raised three children, Betty Jo Ruden, Richard (Terri) Svetich and Debra (Russ) Dull.
Mike was an active, loyal member of the United Mine Workers of America for over 60 years, presiding as secretary for Local 1206 for many years.
He was also a member of the Price Elks Lodge.
Mike will be remembered most for his love of his wife Louise; his dedication to family and his strong work ethic.
