Review By:Maggi on 12/21/2015
This mist is wonderful. So refreshing and gentle. Smells so good, too.
Review By:Robert on 12/8/2015
I use this mist not only after cleansing but also as an aftershave. It soothes any irritation and balances my skin for moisturizer application.
Review By:Britney on 11/29/2015

Fresh and Clean
Review By:Priscilla on 9/19/2015
Get it! It's wonderfully hydrating....quenching thirsty skin everywhere.
Daily Essential!
Review By:Devon on 6/27/2015
I love this product because two spritzes in the morning and another two at night keeps my skin clean, refreshed and helps retain moisture. It also lasts a really long time and can be used to set makeup. This is definitely a product I will continue to use and purchase regularly.
Works great
Review By:Julia on 6/27/2015
Works very nice, has lots of hydrating properties. Only con is smells bad.
An Extra Boost
Review By:Stephanie on 6/16/2015
This is a nice toner. I use it at night after using the Green Apple Cleansing Gel and it gives my skin a nice little boost. It just makes a little extra squeaky clean and gets some remaining makeup off that I might have missed when washing my face. It's a good addition to a cleansing routine.
Review By:Aimee on 6/15/2015
I love spritzing this on in the summer to feel refreshed in the heat and humidity. Really refreshing.
Refreshed & lookin' good :)
Review By:Jenna on 6/13/2015
I keep a bottle of this in my purse all summer long. I use it after the gym or after I've been in the sun for a while. It smells amazing - reminds me of a sweet white wine - and totally refreshes my skin, without leaving any residue. It absorbs by itself after about a minute with a spritz & a gentle pat. After that, my skin feels moisturized, firm & rejuvenated.
Review By:Gena on 6/12/2015
I love this product. It is a great way to freshen up your face throughout the day. When my face is feeling dry throughout the day I can just spray it on and I feel refreshed without ruining my make-up or having to wash and re-moisturize throughout the day. Perfect, quick, and easy.
Perfect pick me up
Review By:Saliha on 6/11/2015
Smells great and skin looks smoother and more even after using.
Burns my face a little....
Review By:Zoe on 5/8/2015
This is a great product but my face burns a little when I apply this after cleansing.
I've noticed this after a hot shower I put this on when I'm still warm and it makes my face red, blotchy, and burning.....
When I'm cooled off this doesn't happen but it tingles...I would create a hydrating mist more suitable to sensitive skin. I wish I could love this more.
Great for my oily skin
Review By:LisaCurlyGirl on 12/10/2014
Lately I have had acne due to an IUD. This has cleared it up! I don't usually have acne prone skin, so I wasn't sure how to deal with it. I have always had very oily skin and this has helped seal in the moisture and lessen the excessive oil production. It has also cleared up a bunch of unevenness to my complexion! Thanks to Ipsy for shipping me a sample of it. I would love the whole 6.75oz bottle now.
Great for Oily Skin
Review By:Courtney on 12/7/2014
I have tried so many toners for my oily skin and those with alcohol made my skin dry and then super oily afterwards. I tried a travel size of this and it was the perfect amount of moisture and removed that mid-day shine.
I love this!!
Review By:Jessica on 10/6/2014
I have been looking for a great toner for my face. I've avoided anything in the department stores because of the alcohol in the products and I've tried the PCA toners, which I wasn't so crazy about the smell. I came across this one in one of my packed boxes. I had actually forgotten that I had this because I had received a travel size of this months ago from an ipsy bag and tucked it away somewhere.
I LOVE the way it smells and it hydrates my face perfectly! I have really oily skin, but because it's acne prone skin, sometimes it will dry up real bad from some acne products. This product feels great on the skin after cleansing and an AWESOME addition to my skin regimen.
No.1 Beauty Product!
Review By:Jessica Lee on 9/26/2014
This amazing product is my favorite beauty item! It smells amazing and leaves my skin fresh. My skin often feels tight after washing my face so this restores the PH balance to my skin! I would recommend it to all skin types!
Review By:Alexandra on 9/21/2014
I love this! My skin can get very irritated, red, and itchy. The moment I put this on my skin, it completely takes all those issues away and helps my skin when it gets scaly. I love to spray it on my makeup to refresh throughout the day and get a healthy glow that stays on for hours! I absolutely love this product and know everyone else will too!
A wonderful mist!!
Review By:ANNIE VERGHESE on 9/16/2014
I am in love with this amazing mist!! It instantly hydrates and works great for any skin type!! It is amazing and i love it!! :)
Buying large size next time!
Review By:Azzie on 9/8/2014
I bought the travel size one - just out of curiosity. I honestly didn't think it would do anything. And wowee... it truly hydrates the skin! I've sprayed it directly onto my skin before OR after moisturizing, I've sprayed it on a cotton pad and used it like a "toner", I've even sprayed it over my make-up on days where I looked a little too powdered. It gives my skin a lovely glow every time! Next time, I'm buying the full size bottle!
So refreshing!
Review By:Judy CZUBATI on 9/8/2014
I love using this product very much. Am an older lady living in Florida so my skin needs constant refreshment. The scent alone makes it enjoyable but the added aid to my complexion is a huge plus
Refreshing and balancing!
Review By:Kathleen on 9/8/2014
I love this toner! It feels good, smells lovely, and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. It does not dry your skin out, but leaves it soft and ready for the next step in your skin care. I definitely recommend this product!
Review By:Jennifer on 9/8/2014
The hydrating mist is the perfect name for this product! I love to use this throughout the day as a toner and refresher. It gives you a fresh, young, and dewy look while soothing your skin! Also smells wonderful!
An Amazing Product!
Review By:ANNIE on 5/20/2014
I am in love with this product! It is such a powerful mist, provides instant soothing! #Absolutelyloveit #Juice Beauty #Glutenfree!
Very refreshing
Review By:Morgan on 2/1/2014
This hydrating mist is very moisturizing and refreshing. It quenches the thirst of my skin when my skin is feeling a bit drier throughout the day. I love that the ingredients are so organic and natural as well. The smell is interesting, not very citrusy but I can definitely get the grain/oatmeal undertone in it. It's not too bothersome though. It hasn't broken me out or anything like that. It's a nice product to have to use on-the-go when your skin is feeling thirsty.
Almost Perfect
Review By:Tye on 1/31/2014
My only issue is the fragrance I'm not a fan of the smell of ylang ylang, but it does dissipate quickly. Other than that I do enjoy using this product and highly recommend it.
Sets My Make-Up & Perfect Take Along for th...
Review By:Susan on 1/30/2014
Every morning I spray on my face to set my make-up. I especially love it in the summer (summer weather is nearly year round here in Florida). I keep it in the refrigerator and spray it from head to toe to cool off, refresh and hydrate. Perfect if you get a little too much sun. Great to take a long to the beach, I keep mine in the cooler.
Refreshing for oily skin!!
Review By:Alexandria on 1/30/2014
When my face starts feeling oily, i can turn to this mist and my face feels better afterwards! Especially after getting home from work!!!
Hydrating mist is a must!!!
Review By:Tiff on 1/30/2014
I have acne skin but it is dehydrated. This gives me a great boost of hydrating. I fell in love with this the first time I used it. I also use this to set my make up after applying. U can use it anytime during the day. It's a lifesaver with this cold winter. Juice has great prices for products that show results. I love how instant my face has a glow after spraying this on my skin!
Review By:shirley on 1/28/2014
My 12 year old daughter had a small rash on her face around her nose and on her cheeks for several weeks, we went to a dermatologist who proceeded to tell us it was from "stress". My daughter and I looked at each other very perplexed, as she is not under any stress and the diagnosis seemed just ridiculous. We were given a steroid cream which we used for a day and stopped because I was not comfortable with it. I love Juice Beauty products and use them for myself and decided to have her go the natural route and try them as well. Along with Juice Beauty cleansers she used this hydrating mist at least twice a day, after only one day her rash was extremely better! Within a week it was gone!! We cannot say enough about ALL your products!
Relaxation in a bottle!
Review By:kristy on 1/27/2014
Great product! A must have for anyone wanting to feel refreshed and relaxed. Just mist across your face for an instant pick-me-up through out the day. It leaves you with a delightful aroma that will entice your senses. Go ahead and mist away!
Love this mist!
Review By:Maria on 1/23/2014
This mist is so hydrating, I use it after cleansing and during the day to freshen up. If you love the smell of roses you will love this as an added bonus. Great product!
LOVE this Produte
Review By:nina smallhorn on 1/22/2014
This is one of my favorite beauty products! I keep a small one in my purse, a large one in my bathroom and spritz and spray whenever I need a refresher for makeup or skin! It smells wonderful and truly improves the quality and texture!
Review By:Sarah on 1/19/2014
It's perfect after using the serum, or in the morning.
Skin Saver For Long Days
Review By:Donna on 1/18/2014
I work in healthcare, in many different environments, from suffocating heat to freezing cold. This mist really perks up my skin , leaving it moist but not greasy. I keep a bottle in my locker at work. A MUST have. It doesn't cause my makeup to run, LOVE !
Refreshing & Reviving!
Review By:Ashley on 1/17/2014
I usually use Juice Beauty's Hydrating Mist every morning and night on my face; sometimes I'll spray it on mid-day for an extra glow. I even use it on my legs and arms if I'm rushing and don't have time to apply lotion. I like that this product doesn't make my skin feel sticky, and it seems to really work!
Dewy Delicious Delight
Review By:Donya on 1/13/2014
When I received my order from Juice Beauty, the first thing I tried was the *Hydrating Mist*. OMG !!! I was in heaven !! I literally sat back on the couch, closed my eyes and absorbed the beautiful scent and the calming effect as the Hydrating Mist on my skin.
Whenever I need a moment to feel refreshed, a few sprays of this bottle of organic nutrients and I feel amazing !!
I definitely recommend this product for all to buy. What better way to tone your face and feel refreshed, calm and revitalized with Hydrating Mist that contains a blend of Mother natures Rosehip, Ylang Ylang, Grapeseed Oil and Antioxidant Rich Organic Juices for a RADIANT COMPLEXION !!
Mid-day Boost
Review By:Elizabeth on 1/13/2014
I found out about this product through a monthly beauty bag so I wasn't to sure about it. I'll just say I was very happy to receive it and am sure going to get it again. Not only does it feel good on my skin but it smells good too. Perfect for the mid-day boost, especially on for a hectic day.
Hydrates like a serum
Review By:Rachel on 1/13/2014
This mist is so hydrating, it is like you put on a moisturizer designed for dry skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind an oily residue or shine. Lovely.
Very nice hydrating mist
Review By:Debbie on 1/12/2014
I received this as part of my Cyber Monday Mystery Gift, so it was quite by accident that I came across what proved to be a mist that was refreshing, hydrating and compatible for my oily, acne prone skin. The scent is pleasant and light, and it feels good to know that I'm putting ingredients on my face that are beneficial for my skin.
Mist me
Review By:Erica on 1/11/2014
I really love this mist. I have a small bottle that I keep in my purse at work and use it 1-2 times during the day. I find that a light spray is enough to keep looking fresh without messing up my makeup.
THIRST QUENCHERi
Review By:Kimberlee on 1/11/2014
It is a fresh fruit cocktail in a bottle! Not only does it quench my thirsty skin, it aids in spreading my foundation across my face. It leaves your skin dewy soft and supple allowing your favorite Juice Beauty Serum and Moisturizer to soak in your skin more efficiently. It smells delightful, with the organic Grape seed and the other Essential Oils you will feel refreshed and toned with every spritz.. This is simply the best toner I have ever used and will continue to be my go-to product. I use it in conjunction with the Green Apple line and have seen amazing results for my premature aging skin. Thanks for creating such a wonderful product and making my skin as beautiful as possible.
Can't quite figure out
Review By:Karla on 1/11/2014
I ave 4 stars not because it lacks performance, but because it's a mystery product to me. I've used many of Juice Beauty's products and I just can't seem to figure this one out. Do I do this right after cleansing, but before moisturizing? In what order? And what should it be doing for me? Everyone's comments are different. For some it's a toner, some it "seals their makeup, and for others it hydrates. Help me and others to understand how to use this product and what we can expect from it please. Thanks!
Review By:Shannon on 1/10/2014
I LOVELOVELOVELOVE this product its absolutely amazing, I have ridiculously sencitive skin and this is perfect for calming it after i wash it. I will always buy this.
Review By:Marie on 1/10/2014
I love spritzing this on my face before I put on moisturizer. The ylang ylang oil makes it smell amazing. If I look in the mirror and see my face looking a bit parched and peaky I spray some of the Hydrating Mist on and I instantly look more hydrated.
Pump and Go! Forget the rub.
Review By:Christine on 1/10/2014
Fast, quick, and effective. Reach for your hydrating mist for an instant perk me up anytime of day or night, with or or without your makeup on. No prep needed. You never need to rub in this moisturizer either. Two or three quick squirts to your face, one to your neck and declotte. Your skin will feel new and improved. Just enough scent to impress. Besides the one at home, keep one in your computer bag, backback and car. Its slender design is easy to carry in a pocket too.
Love Love Love
Review By:Athena on 7/17/2013
As a licensed skin care specialist I have access to an innumerable amount of skin care products, but I will always go back to Juice Beauty's Hydrating Mist. This is a must have product for all skin types especially for travelers.
wonderful for summer
Review By:Morgan on 5/20/2013
It gets so hot around here that most days I find it a waste to put on make-up. But with the hydrating mist, I can spritz it on in the middle of the day and my make-up no longer feels like it's sliding down my face. I have sensitive skin and this hasn't caused a breakout!
nice mist
Review By:yaba on 4/21/2013
I don't find it tones that well but it does seem to be a nice hydrator, i forego additional moisturizer during the day after i spray this on which is nice as i don't like many products on my skin. smells great too, very refreshing.
best toner
Review By:Candace on 4/18/2013
This is without a doubt the best toner I have ever used. It smells clean and is very refreshing. It can be used on face and body. Love it!
Definitely Refreshing
Review By:Freckles on 4/17/2013
This is definitely a refreshing toner. It does contain alcohol, but it doesn't dry out your skin, and the ingredients used in it are loaded with vitamins. I've been using it in conjunction with the Green Apple line for the past month, so I don't know how much credit to give the toner specifically, but it fits into a routine that really does brighten your complexion!
A miracle
Review By:Chelsea on 3/11/2013
I have tried countless things on my face to hydrate it. It seemed like nothing worked-it was either still dry, or my face felt oily, or it gave me acne. I take really good care of my skin and for it to be dry just aggravated me so badly and I couldn't stand it. I tried this and my face has been soft for days. I use it once a day after cleaning and toning my skin, and this is just amazing. I love the way it smells and it truly is light and refreshing. I couldn't be happier with a product and I won't go back to using lotions every again.
best toner I have ever used
Review By:Desiree on 2/13/2011
When I first learned the importance of a toner and what closing your pores after cleansing your face can do, I used Clean and Clear astringent. It was so harsh. it smelled awful and was very drying. I then found some lighter stuff at the natural food stores such as a lettuce toner or tomato toners. However, that didn't always feel like it did the job. It was very light and sometimes felt like I was just applying cold water. The Hydrating mist is a perfect balance of toning juices. it smells great and does the job of a toner with out making my skin feel attacked by harsh chemicals. I just close my eyes and shoot it directly at my face. I let it soak in, I apply my face moisturizer and then my make-up. I feel the hydrating mist makes a good make-up primer for the ones who would rather not wear face lotion under their make-up or is just as great as a toner before you apply your moisturizer. This product is a win win for no matter what your preferences are.
Review By:sundance92 on 10/29/2010
I love this mist. It's refreshing on a hot day, and moisturizing during the winter. What more could a girl ask for!
Refreshing and lovely smell
Review By:MB on 6/20/2010
I have been using this for quite a while now and I love it! Instead of using a moisturizer during the day, especially during hot days of summer, I use this as base after showering before I put on my make-up. It keeps the oiliness to a minimum.
love it!
Review By:love it! on 4/24/2010
great after washing my face -- no "tightness" of my skin I love that it's so natural and pure
Review By:katysue on 4/3/2010
We love this product! The refreshing mist is wonderful after a shower and it feels great! The perfect start to a beauty regimen!
Try it, you'll love it!
all the moisture without the heaviness
Review By:dewy skin on 3/29/2010
I really like this product! I was skeptical about using it since my skin can be very oily at times. But this product actually keeps my skin fresh and with a healthy moisturizeded feeling. I love the glow it gives and it even seems to minimize my pores.

As the air got cold, the Bobcats� defense turned solid.
The Ignacio High School football team stopped Center�s three final drives to preserve a five-point lead and pick up its first varsity win of the season 18-13 over the Vikings on a frigid Friday night at IHS.
�They buckled down and got some key defensive stops,� IHS head coach Lupe Huerta said.
None more so than on the Vikings� final drive.
After a turnover on downs on the Vikings� 24-yard line, Center went back to what the Vikings knew: Give running back Gustavo Nungaray the ball, and watch him rumble down the field.
And with less than a touchdown separating the two squads, fewer than five minutes to play and 224 yards already on Nungaray�s ground-game stat line, the Vikings didn�t need much rumbling. Nungaray finished with 255 yards.
Behind him and fullback Jeremiah Moreno, the Vikings drove to the Bobcats� 37. Then Ignacio went cold.
�You got to know that you make sure this is the last drive,� defensive lineman Blaine Mickey said. �You�ve got to stop them this time.
�If not, it�s over.�
The Bobcats stuffed Nungaray for minus-1 yard on two rushing plays, quarterback Ryan Perrin threw an incomplete pass, and the Vikings� final throw found a reciever, but it didn�t find the first down marker.
The Bobcats got the ball with 1:27 to play and ran out the clock.
�They�ve been working hard ... and it showed (Friday night),� Huerta said.
�It�s just the hard work they put in this week.�
That keystone defensive stop followed two more in the final frame of play � one ending on an Adison Jones interception and one on a fourth-down sack a drive earlier.
Those stops were the product of a week of strenuous practice � one in which Huerta said he wasn�t too much fun to be around � and the rise of vocal leaders such as the sophomore Mickey, who did �a little bit of the yelling in practice� and a lot of the tackling on the field Friday.
But the real difference, Mickey said, was in the fourth-quarter teamwork.
�They got aggressive,� said Mickey, son of Jeremey and Tracy Mickey. �They finally started working together.
�Teamwork. I couldn�t do it without the rest of the 10 other guys out there making tackles, helping me make tackles.�
It was a good thing, too, because by the end of the second half, the Ignacio offense had gone as cold as the defense, and not in a good way.
The Bobcats� offense struggled on its final two drives, going three and out before turning the ball over for the Vikings� last-ditch push.
But before that Isaac Pe�a had been plenty hot.
Trailing 13-12 after Center scored on a 17-yard Nungaray run midway through the third quarter (the extra point was good, the only successful extra point in the game), the Bobcats answered with a 72-yard drive capped by a Clayton Jefferson fumble in the end zone, upon which running back Pe�a smothered for the 18-13 lead.
Appropriate, considering the small but slippery rusher led the Bobcats with 143 rushing yards as their most potent weapon.
�My line really stepped up this week,� said Pe�a, son of Kenneth and Shasta Pe�a. �I couldn�t have done it without the line making those holes, making those blocks.�
�Isaac has been just fantastic,� Huerta said. �I knew he could run that way.�
Jones threw for the other two Bobcats� scores, the first on a 26-yard pass to Jefferson to even the game 6-6 in the second quarter and the second on a 25-yard hook-up with Joe Herrera a few minutes later to take their first lead, 12-6.
Both were anomalous on a night where each team struggled to move the ball through the chilly air.
With their first Southern Peaks League win, the Bobcats improved to 2-6 overall and 1-2 in the league.
They will close out the season with two more SPL games: at Del Norte at 1 p.m. Oct. 20, then Dolores at home at 7 p.m. Oct. 26.
�I told my kids ... we�re going to win these last three games, but we�ve got to play hard,� Huerta said.

Gray was in charge of picking out Daddy's birthday card.
Oh mommy this is the coolest card!
Oh honey, this isn't a birthday card. It's for a graduation. He was about to go into the ugly cry when I opened it up and saw that 'Grad' could easily be changed to 'Dad' and suddenly this card was indeed the coolest card. This is perfect! Great job, Gray!
(battles, I pick them wisely.)
I heard him telling his brothers later on that it's such an awesome card. It has penguins wearing artist's hats!
Am I too free with them, I wonder, allowing them to take their imagination and run far far away with it?
Or do I think I'm a radical breaking the rules of norm when it's really just lazy parenting?
Maybe it's a little of both, but no matter, because there is so much life left for them where they don't get to be kids, and really? What's the harm? You've seen one happy birthday card, you've seen 'em all.
But penguins wearing artist's hats... ? Now that's special.
Happy Birthday, Jeff. Hope you love that the kids are just as weird as me. We love you.

Thermal Fogging
A thermal fogger is appropriately named since it is a device that uses heat to produce a fog without degrading the active ingredient. A thermal fogger produces a range of droplet sizes including a large number of very small droplets. This makes a thermal fogger the preferred type of equipment to reach air spaces in areas highly obstructed by vegetation, or other physical obstructions in buildings. The large number of very small droplets produced in a thermally generated fog also make the fog highly visible. This can help the operator to monitor the fog and ensure thoroughness of application.

ATTICA - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has approved Attica's plan for directing its storm water into its wastewater system, village administrator Greg Martin reported to council members Thursday night.
He said engineer Lyn Makeever has signed a contract to proceed with the engineering portion of the lagoon and wastewater system construction. Surveying and taking soil borings are the first steps for the lagoon project.
Makeever recently met with personnel from Gateway Tank to discuss aeration of the village water tower. Engineer Marvin Gnagy has located an economical system to be installed by Gateway Tank and must be completed by May. While the work is being done, village employees are to conduct routine maintenance on the tower.
Councilman Jeff Painter announced 25 smoke detectors are available at the village officer for senior citizens to pick up.
Police Chief Keith Turner led a discussion on the mutual aid agreement with Bloomville. He reminded village residents ordinances are in place for keeping sidewalks clear of snow and not piling snow into the road.
Fiscal Officer Pat Krebs reported $717,761.10 in all funds. She shared new criteria from the county auditor regarding tax assessments for delinquent utilities or mowing by the village.
Due to not having a quorum present at the last meeting, council again heard readings of resolutions and ordinances. They:
Adopted a resolution of necessity for a replacement tax levy for providing police protection and requesting certification from the county auditor, and declaring an emergency.
Adopted a resolution of necessity for a replacement tax levy for providing park operation and requesting certification from the county auditor, and declaring an emergency.
Heard the second reading of a resolution approving 2013 appropriations totaling $1,560,195, and adopted the resolution as an emergency.
Heard the second reading of an ordinance establishing pay rates for village employees effective Jan. 18, and adopted it as an emergency.
Heard the second reading of an ordinance suspending the 3 percent annual increase in water rates for 2013 only, effective Jan. 1, and adopted it as an emergency.
Approved changes for village employee work hours percentages for wage funding allocations.
Council meets next at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10.

Several craft breweries have sprung up across Charleston over the past few years.
Now, mom-and-pop makers of the harder stuff are having their turn, drawn by the rebounding economy and legislative changes that South Carolina enacted several years ago.
No fewer than three craft liquor distilleries are in the late-development stage across the Charleston region, with two coming to King Street. They will join the more-established Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island, giving the Charleston area at least four commercial liquor-making operations.
Striped Pig Distillery hopes to start production by next month in a 7,200-square-foot warehouse in North Charleston. High Wire Distilling plans to have everything in place by midsummer in an 8,000-square-foot former warehouse on Upper King Street near the Crosstown Expressway. Charleston Distilling Co. looks to be serving samples by October in a 10,500-square-foot building in the heart of a redevelopment hotbed just south of High Wire's operation.
The industry's growth in the Lowcountry reflects national trends.
From January 2010 to September 2012, the number of licensed micro-distilleries in the country doubled to 180, according to Frank Coleman of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. The Washington, D.C.-based trade group projects there are about 250 craft distillers today, a number that's only expected to climb.
"I think it would be reasonable to assume that the industry will continue to grow rapidly, particularly as states continue to modernize laws and regulations," Coleman said. "Whether all of them find viability in the marketplace is another question entirely."
In 2009, South Carolina passed legislation with less cumbersome regulatory obstacles for small businesses to make liquor. The early interest was lukewarm, as the severe economic downdraft a few years ago deterred startup investors from buying the equipment and licenses needed to produce their own potent potables.
But as the recession faded, those looking to fashion their own booze pulled their plans off the shelf and put them into action.
The liquor-making uptick in the region is a natural extension of the booming craft beer business in South Carolina, according to one of the startups.
And the activity isn't limited to Charleston, a city known for being tolerant of tippling. A couple of other distilleries have sprung up in the Upstate.
The new crop of distillers also witnessed the rapid growth at Wadmalaw-based Firefly, one of the earliest local pioneers. It caught lightning in a bottle even before state laws were relaxed with its now-famous sweet-tea-flavored vodka.
"When people start making money in a new industry, everybody starts running," said High Wire Distilling co-owner Scott Blackwell, who sold his Immaculate Baking Co. to General Mills in December and is in the middle of renovating a former joggling board warehouse at 682 King St. for his next venture. "It says a lot about Charleston for three to be coming here at the same time. With everything happening in Charleston, the buzz is here right now."
At Striped Pig Distillery, which sits off Azalea Drive in North Charleston, co-owner Todd Weiss attributes the interest in distilling to a logical result of the growth and success of micro-breweries. Charleston is home to about a half-dozen local beermakers, while nearly 2,400 have sprouted across the nation over the past decade.
Weiss expects the local micro-distillers to band together and lobby for the overall industry. Until then, he welcomes the competition and expects it to be friendly.
"We have one or two secrets up our sleeve that will help make us a little more competitive," he said.
Inevitable hangover?
Brent Stephens, an attorney who left the legal profession to start a new career in the distilling business, said Charleston is actually a little behind some other areas of the country.
Stephens, who is president and master distiller for the Charleston Distilling Co. at 501 King St., said he recently returned from Colorado, where more than 40 liquormaking operations have fired up.
Washington, Oregon, California and New York also are major players already.
"Charleston is a great location and has a great history," Stephens said. "With all the tourist traffic, it's the logical place to be."
Jim Irvin, co-owner of Firefly Distillery, which makes vodka, bourbon, rum and moonshine, welcomes the growing wave of rival alcohol producers.
At the same time, he said, not all of those popping up across the nation will survive.
Irvin predicted that in five or six years, the availability of cheaper distilling equipment will flood the market as some alcohol producers fail, forcing weaker operators to make their last call.
"Those who have a good business plan will survive. Others won't," Irvin said. "I've tasted some of them (in other states), and some of them don't know what they are doing that well."
As for those coming to Charleston on the heels of Firefly's success, he wished them well.
"They all need to send me a letter and say, 'Thank you,' " he said.

Brent Stephens left his law practice to start a new distillery, Charleston Distilling Co. at 501 King St. in downtown Charleston. He expects to offer tastings by October.×

Brandon Weeden will start in Cleveland
This should be a very interesting NFL season for a lot of reasons, but watching rookies like Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Brandon Weeden begin the season as rookie starters will definitely make for an interesting storyline.
The Browns names Weeden the starter today, which wasn't a surprise at all. He's looked very good in camp, as has Trent Richardson and Josh Gordon. Expect a completely different offense in Cleveland.

Register to be a UN Volunteer
Every year, about 7,500 qualified and experienced women and men of around 160 nationalities serve as UN Volunteers in some 130 countries. They are professionals who play key roles contributing to peace and making an impact on development results.
UNV recruits a great diversity of talents and offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. We encourage you to look at both focus areas:
-Development Assistance
Be aware that many UN Volunteers work in remote, isolated duty stations where basic comforts are limited. There may be no electricity or running water, there may be no recreation facilities to speak of and work may continue seven days a week.
Though UNV assignments can be very rewarding, applicants thus need to be prepared to be deployed to difficult places and they need to be able to adjust to fast-changing living and working circumstances. They need to be aware that they may not have a choice regarding their duty station (it is determined by operational requirements, not personal preferences); and that their final duty station may only be known after they have been recruited and have arrived on the ground.
To fully understand what is required of an international UN Volunteer, we strongly encourage you to read the qualifications and Conditions of Service page.
If you have read the FAQs and are ready to register, proceed to create your UNV account. If you already have an account in the UNV database, we invite you to visit MyProfile.
United Nations Volunteers is an equal opportunity programme which welcomes applications from qualified professionals. We are committed to achieving diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture.
UNDP and UNV, as a matter of practice, do not charge any application, processing or training fee at any stage of the recruitment process. If you have any questions as to UN Volunteer opportunities you may have received, please refer to this website.
UNDP and UNV are currently aware of fictitious vacancy or training announcements that are being circulated through the Internet which ask you to remit a fee before you can be given a UNV position or a UN Volunteer assignment. There have also been fraudulent promises of a UN Volunteer assignment after taking some specific training courses. If you believe that you have received such a notice, please forward it, and any other related information you have received, to scamalert((at))undp((dot))org.
Since logos, emblems, names and addresses can be easily copied or reproduced, you are advised to take particular care in applying for vacancies, including undertaking all appropriate measures to protect against the unauthorised use of any personal information you may have provided as a result of the scam.

Spectators in a Carson City courtroom erupted into applause Wednesday after a jury determined David Winfield Mitchell should spend the rest of his life in prison without parole for the 1982 murder of Sheila Jo Harris. The sentence came just 30 minutes after jurors began deliberations following victim impact statements from Harris' mother and sisters and testimony about Mitchell's previous prison stints and an attempted rape in 1979. On Tuesday the same jury found Mitchell guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon for the beating, rape and strangulation of Harris, 18, more than 25 years ago. DNA evidence in the form of semen on the victim's clothes and body linked the Trinidad native in 1999 to her killing. He had been arrested in her murder in 1986 based on a hair found at the crime scene, but charges were later dropped for lack of evidence. "You have been glaring at me in courts since 1985. You glared at me Friday night and you glared at me when the verdict came in yesterday," said Harris' mother, Linda Bratton, addressing what she later described as a "smirking" Mitchell, directly. "Make no mistake, if you ever come up for parole, I will be there to fight it, because if you had not been paroled in 1981, my daughter would still be alive - so smile all you want to."Jamie Bratton said she was only 6 months old when her sister Sheila was killed. Now 26, Jamie, said she never got the chance to know her sister in life, but her death was too familiar. "David Mitchell was 37 years old when he took my sister's life. That was more than twice the life she got to live. Not to mention the 25 years since then. You got 25 years free after this. We wish we had just even one more minute," she said. "I hope you experience a tiny little bit of the fear and humiliation that my sister felt on that day."
Sister Shannon Harris thanked the jury for their verdict and asked that they sentence Mitchell to life without parole. "I may have only been 7 years old when my sister was raped and murdered, but she was my sister. I was born a middle child and I should have been raised a middle child. Instead, because of one man's sickness, because of one man's selfishness, I had no choice. Sheila had no choice."But the most powerful testimony, according to jurors, was Mitchell's history of assault, which was kept from them during the trial.Attempts during the trial by the prosecution to get in Mitchell's "prior bad acts" were denied by the judge because it was considered too prejudicial. Jannine Sullivan told the jury that in 1979 in Santa Clara, Calif., Mitchell assaulted her and her sister in their apartment. The two women were able to fight off a knife-wielding Mitchell. He was captured nine months later and pleaded to assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment. Mitchell was sentenced to three years in prison. It's unclear how much of that he served. Ed Heddy, a retired Carson City Sheriff's sergeant, told the jury of Mitchell's other convictions.
According to Heddy, Mitchell had spent 10 years in prison for the rapes of three woman in Brooklyn, NY. Heddy said in each instance, Mitchell confronted the women in their own homes, threatened them with knives, bound them with electrical cord and raped them. Mitchell was paroled in 1978 to be deported to his native country of Trinidad but whether the deportation took place is unknown. Following their testimony, the jury twice sent out the question, "Why wasn't the death penalty an option," Judge Todd Russell said in court. The choice to not seek the death penalty was made by former District Attorney Noel Waters. Waters said you cannot seek the death penalty against a defendant charged under the felony murder rule if the only criteria for death is the same thing that elevated the charge from second-degree murder. Prosecutors used the sexual assault as the means to elevate the charge against Mitchell.Public Defender Diane Crow said that Mitchell asked her to not speak to the jury on his behalf."It's his one act of contrition in this matter," she said, asking that the jury show him mercy.
After being released from duty, jury foreman Brad McCarty said that Mitchell got a "very fair trial."We were very comfortable with our verdict," he said. "It boiled down to, 'Can you establish that he was the killer?' It was clear that he had had sex with her. But could we establish that he was the killer, that's what most of our deliberation was about."Upon learning of Mitchell's history, especially that of the Santa Clara assault, which McCarty said "weighed heavily" on him, the sentencing decision was easy. "We compared life with and without and we decided that the man was capable of perpetrating acts. Certainly even at the age of (62) we thought he could certainly still be a threat," he said. "That he would attack two women simultaneously, it's pretty clear he thought pretty highly of his ability to carry out an assault."The system today worked the way it should, I'm sad that the system was so slow in getting here."Mitchell will be formally sentenced by Judge Russell on Sept. 10. His sentence will be automatically appealed by the Public Defender's Office, as are all cases of first-degree murder in the state.

"I'm incredibly lucky to be getting married to my best friend and partner-in-crime," Strong, 33, says in a statement to PEOPLE of his upcoming wedding to Alexandra Barreto in Oregon on Sunday.
Strong – who played bad boy Shawn Hunter on the ABC sitcom – and Barreto met as costars on the short-lived WB series Pepper Dennis in 2006 and continued working together on the horror film Tooth and Nail later that year.
Strong proposed to Barreto just before Christmas last year, in the pouring rain beneath the redwood trees of his childhood home in Northern California, with a ring he made himself.
"I spent weeks making the ring in secret," says Strong. "I carved the ring out of wax, cast it in white gold and had my dad make a wooden ring box for me. My dad made my mom's ring, so I was following in his footsteps."

Charges against Oscar Pistorius have been upgraded to premeditated murder, after the judge in Pretoria, South Africa, said during Tuesday's bail hearing that he could not rule out the possibility that the "Blade Runner" track star planned the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, reports CNN.
Magistrate Desmond Nair said he would consider downgrading the charge at a later date. Wearing a blue shirt and gray suit, and sometimes clenching his jaw, Pistorius also openly wept in the packed courtroom as prosecutors provided details of their accusations.
Prosecutors said Pistorius, 26, opened fire on Steenkamp, 29, four times through a locked bathroom door of his home in a gated community last Thursday after attaching his prosthetic legs and walking more than 20 feet from a bedroom.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Steenkamp, a model who only recently had made her debut in a reality TV show, had been in a room less than 20 square feet when the shots were fired, reports The New York Times.
"She could not go anywhere," said Nel. "It must have been horrific."
A lawyer for Pistorius, Barry Roux, said the defense would "submit that this is not a murder," citing a lack of evidence or motive.
"I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated," Pistorius said in an affidavit read in court by Roux and obtained by PEOPLE, "I had no intention to kill my girlfriend. ... We were deeply in love and I could not be happier. I know she felt the same way."
He also said, "I believed someone had entered my house. I was too scared to switch a light on. I grabbed my 9mm pistol from underneath my bed."
After the gun blasts, Pistorius said in his affidavit, "I returned to the bathroom and picked Reeva up as I had been told not to wait for the paramedics, but to take her to the hospital. I carried her downstairs in order to take her to the hospital.
"On my way down ... a doctor who lives in the complex also arrived. Downstairs, I tried to render the assistance to Reeva that I could, but she died in my arms."

Former Williamsburg Area High School sports standout Christian Appleman already had a unique bond with his future wife, Erin, before the couple first met at Penn State University about 15 years ago.
Christian was then an assistant coach with Penn State's men's basketball team, and Erin was an assistant coach with the Penn State women's volleyball program.
"We shared similar interests,'' Christian said. "We could really relate to each other because coaching was such an important part of both of our lives.''
Article Photos
It still is. Christian is now an assistant men's tennis coach and head of the tennis facility at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., where Erin has been the school's head women's volleyball coach for nine seasons. The couple, both 45, are the parents of two children - son Justin, 11, and daughter Emma, 9.
Erin Appleman will lead Yale (18-5 this season) into the first round of the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championships, and a 5 p.m. matchup today against Bowling Green at Penn State's Rec Hall. Defending national champion Penn State meets Binghamton University at 7:30 p.m. today.
Should Yale survive the first round, it will advance to Saturday's second round and a probable matchup with Penn State. Penn State is the top seed in the West Lafayette (Ind.) Regional, while Yale is the ninth seed.
"I'd be honored to play Penn State,'' Erin Appleman said. "But our focus right now is on Bowling Green. They were the Mid-Atlantic Conference Tournament champions this year, and that's a very good volleyball conference.''
This marks the fourth appearance for Yale in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championships under the direction of Erin Appleman - a California native and graduate of San Diego State University. Her Yale teams in 2004 and 2008 won one game apiece. Last year's squad lost an opening-round matchup with the University of Southern California.
'This year's team has some great chemistry,'' she said. "We went 14-0 in our [Ivy League] conference, which is an extremely difficult feat to accomplish. We're still pretty young, with only one senior on this year's team. I'm really proud of how these girls have played. They've showed focus and determination all year.''

BUCKHANNON - West Virginia Wesleyan's volleyball team posted a solid 21-11 record in 2011, and with several key returnees from that squad, coach Jackie Murphy is looking at another strong campaign this fall.
The fourth-year coach sports a squad that enters the season ranked fifth in the league's preseason coaches' poll.
"With our returning core and new players, we have so many more options than we have had in the past," Murphy said. "From our returning players we have four athletes that can play two different positions effectively."

Senior Renata Comparini returns at the libero spot, and is one of the premier defenders in the league. The native of Santiago, Chile, responded with 526 digs last season, and played in a critical role in the team's run of success. Comparini was a second-team all-conference performer.
"Renata led our team in digs last year and we'll look for her to lead our team and the conference in defense. She is a solid force on serve receive and defense," Murphy said. "She has an unbelievable court sense and reads her attackers quickly."
Junior Casey Pattyn returns as the team's setter. She recorded a total of 1018 assists in 2011, giving Murphy an experienced player to work the offense.
"Casey is a great player to have on the squad. She works extremely hard and attempts to better the ball every play she can," Murphy said. "Her chemistry with Renata is rare; those two work really well together. If they touch 90% of the first and second contact, we are going to be a hard team to defend."
Several players benefitted from Comparini and Pattyn in putting up some key offensive numbers. Two other players back who were strong forces last season include junior Korin Wengryn and sophomore Erin Bond.
Bond recorded 271 kills and 103 blocks last season. Joining her with some solid numbers at the net, Wengryn tallied 148 kills and 57 total blocks.
"Koryn has one of the quickest springs in the conference," Murphy said. "She is fast, agile and a quick attacker in the front row."
"Erin Bond was a wonderful addition to our program last fall," Murphy said. "She earned a starting spot early in the season and was second on the team in kills. She is versatile with her offensive capabilities."
Wesleyan opens up Aug. 31, playing in the two-day Fairmont State "Falcon Fest."
The Bobcats open up with Edinboro, and will get a good competition and fitness test early.
Coach Murphy's squad will play four non-conference opponents over the two-day span, beginning with the Fighting Scots of Edinboro.
"We are a younger program with only one senior and need to replace a few dominating forces from last season, but we have high hopes for the replacements," Murphy said. "Once we eliminate our freshman mistakes and find players to fill the leadership roles the seniors had last fall, our hope is to rise to the next level."

on March 3, 2013 - 12:45 AM
, updated March 3, 2013 at 1:12 AM
Jason Pominville has never struck me as the classic hockey captain. He seemed too soft and unthreatening a personality to get in his teammates' faces and demand they be accountable every night, on every shift.
A week ago, when things were at their low point, Ville Leino said the Sabres were too nice. He said it might be healthy if they challenged each other a little more. Intended or not, it reflected poorly on the captain.
My captain would be in the mold of Chris Drury or Michael Peca, or the most revered of all, Mark Messier. But sometimes a captain does his best leading on the ice. On Saturday afternoon, Pominville led the Sabres to their most rousing home triumph of the year, a 4-3 shootout win over the Devils.
Pominville was far from perfect, like his team. He was on the ice for all three New Jersey goals, including a game-tying tally midway through the third. Still, he persevered, scoring two goals and wiring the puck past Johan Hedberg on the opening shootout try for the game-winner.
It was about time he found the score sheet. Coming into the game, Pominville had produced just one point (a goal) in his last 11 games. Not the most inspiring performance from the captain during a turbulent three-week stretch that cost Lindy Ruff his job after 16 years as the coach.
Pominville reluctantly agreed that his offensive drought had begun to bother him.
"Yeah, when you lose, it wears on you," he said. "[Scoring] is an area where I know I can contribute. To be honest, it was one of those weird slumps. I don't think my play has slipped at all, but I had trouble getting on the board.
"When you win," he said, "you don't really think about it, because it puts a smile on everyone's face. Even tonight, how can you not be happy about the result? Everyone in the building was standing on their feet. It's three in a row for us."
The standard is low these days, to be sure. But the Sabres won three in a row for the first time all season. They're 3-2 under interim coach Ron Rolston. During the third period and overtime, the First Niagara Center crowd was more emotionally engaged than it had been all season.
Maybe that's because the Sabres played with evident passion. Steve Ott fought David Clarkson 27 seconds into the game. Patrick Kaleta was his typically pestilent self, luring Ilya Kovalchuk into a couple of penalties. Nathan Gerbe and Tyler Ennis played big (with Ruff gone, is it still acceptable to say they played "out of character?")
"It's definitely a lot more fun when you make it feel like a home game instead of road," Ott said. "The building came alive in the third period. It's an understatement to say how much energy you get from loud fans who want to cheer for you. They've been waiting for this."
Now we'll see if it carries over. As Ott said, the Sabres still have a long way to go. They dug themselves a big hole. Until they prove otherwise, they're a bad team fighting its way to average. We've been here. For years, this team has been one of the biggest teases in pro sports.
The Sabres are still a defensively shaky squad, one that leads the NHL in shots allowed per game. They make too many dumb mistakes. They lead the league in second-period goals allowed. They're too reliant on their goalie, Ryan Miller, and their first line. Their power play stinks.
At least they showed signs of resiliency during the last three games. Twice in a row, they failed to hold a third-period lead, giving the opposition a point in the standings. The Sabres have been mentally fragile in recent years. Maybe they're learning to crack but not shatter.
"We used to be the team that flinched first," Pominville said. "Now we don't flinch first. We stick with it and it leads to us having success. Confidence is a huge issue. Once you win games, you get confidence. You feel better about your game and where the team's at."
It had to feel good to do it without their star wing, Thomas Vanek, who missed the game with an upper-body injury. Cody Hodgson and Pominville raised their games in Vanek's absence. Hodgson made terrific plays to set up both Pominville goals, one of them short-handed.
Ultimately, a leader has to be an offensive force. Pominville is a solid, accountable, two-way player, the kind Ruff admired.
He doesn't care if he doesn't fit the public's image of the snarling hockey captain.
"Absolutely not," Pominville said. "But what makes me laugh is it comes from people who have no idea what goes on in the room. It comes from people who are outside. How would you know? No one has a clue except the guys who are in here. Even Drury, how would you know if he was that way or not? When Lindy made me captain, he said I was Drury-like to him."
Winning changes a lot of perceptions. The Sabres are in danger of missing the playoffs for the second time in two years with Pominville as captain. They've been soft, fragile and wildly inconsistent. They've been accused of poor effort and lack of passion. They've gotten the coach fired.
Fair or not, that reflects on the captain. We'll find out in late April just how good a captain Pominville has been.

UAlbany Advances Plans for Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship Complex
Part of Governor Cuomo's NYSUNY 2020 Initiative
Part of Governor Cuomo's NYSUNY 2020 Initiative
UAlbany computer scientist Siwei Lyu, shown above teaching a class, is among the researchers whose fields will be positively impacted by the Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship Complex.
ALBANY, N.Y. (June 3, 2013) -- In collaboration with the State University Construction Fund, the University at Albany is advancing plans to establish an Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship Complex (E-TEC). The new Complex will bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors, to provide the technology transfer and commercialization resources to drive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance New York's competitiveness in key industries. Serving as the hub to this complex will be a new $165 million research and development facility for which the University has issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) from consulting teams.
The new project advances the University's NYSUNY 2020 plan, an integral aspect of Governor Cuomo's initial NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant, designed to make the State University of New York a leading catalyst for job growth in New York state, while strengthening the academic and research programs at SUNY's four University Centers. The UAlbany initiative is expected to generate more than $1.8 billion in economic impact throughout the Capital Region, which is 50 times the investment of the $35 million.
The new state-of-the-art research and development facility will be designed to harness UAlbany's academic research with industry partners to accelerate cooperative R&D, technology transfer, business development and workforce training.
To facilitate this initiative, the University has launched a national search for Assistant Vice President for Innovation Partnerships. The new position will implement and advance the Emerging Technology Entrepreneurship and initiative by developing and expanding strategic public-private collaborative opportunities, increasing industry sponsored research, and fostering the development of spinoff companies.
"The NYSUNY 2020 plan allows us to pursue our mission of bringing knowledge to learning, research to practice, and technology to the marketplace," said University at Albany President Robert Jones. "We applaud Governor Cuomo for his vision to utilize and support the research enterprises of the SUNY system as catalysts for economic growth in New York state."
The new facility will be designed with the following provisions:
- An environment which supports high-level funded research;
- An environment that supports industry partnership and technology transfer;
- An emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration among academic departments;
- An emphasis on student learning environments, both formal and informal;
- Connectivity to the pedestrian and parking infrastructure on the Uptown Campus, including connectivity to the Podium structure, where applicable, and stewardship of existing architectural heritage; and
- High Performance Energy design with LEED Gold Certification.
As part of the NYSUNY 2020 initiative, UAlbany is also enhancing its faculty ranks by adding 187 faculty positions over the next five years. The new posts will meet the University's growing demand for specialized study and research in climate, environmental and economic sustainability; business and entrepreneurship; human health and biomedical sciences; public service and policy; emerging technologies; and the liberal arts and sciences.
The faculty expansion is designed to facilitate the enrollment growth of 1,350 new undergraduate and graduate students during the same time period. UAlbany will also hire new support staff to accommodate the growth in faculty and student enrollment, expand its academic offerings and facilities, foster public/private research partnerships, and expand technology development and entrepreneurship in high-tech fields.comments powered by Disqus

The cute bunnies caught my eye first, but it was the tag that sold me.
They were made in an impoverished area of Guatemala City called Esperanza, which, when translated to English, means hope. "This has helped them maintain a spirit of HOPE which many in similar circumstance lost long ago," the tag reads.
Hmmm. Just the naming of their community made a difference. Just deciding to focus on hope, despite despair.
This community of mainly single moms who struggle not to pay the cable bill but to get clean water and to keep their children from being raped or murdered — this community — has decided to work alongside one another to create a better life.
Now, they have a medical clinic, a library and a bakery, a day care and a school, workshops for those experiencing domestic abuse and scholarships for those who need schooling beyond what they can offer. And women like Flori take scraps of recycled fabric and they turn them into tiny celebrations of spring, of new life. Those bunnies and clothes and purses are sold at places like One World Goods in Pittsford, NY — places where dollars make a tangible difference to artisans like Flori. And the cycle of hope and improvement continues.
It took courage and faith to look at that area of Guatemala City, to look at the squatters and the squalor, and to name it hope, Esperanza. Could we take their lead and name the impoverished areas of our souls Esperanza? Could I take the hard things — the ones that look the worst — and nail a sign above them? Label them Hope, too?
To learn more about Esperanza, visit�www.upavim.org.
To buy your own bunnies, stop by One World Goods in Pittsford, NY, or buy them online here.
And the cute little basket in the picture? It came from A Second Thought Resale Shop in East Rochester, NY. The proceeds from that thrift store help support people with disabilities in Guatemala.

A group of Milwaukee-area pilgrims is on its way to Rome to join millions of Catholics from around the world for a special event this weekend.
As they left from the Cousins Center in St. Francis, Archbishop Jerome Listecki lauded the travelers' bravery for heading to Rome, where 3 million out-of-towners will converge for an historic canonization.
VIDEO: Group from Milwaukee area en route to Rome
On Sunday, Pope Francis will elevate two of his predecessors to sainthood -- Pope John XXIII, who was Pope from 1958-1963 and Pope John Paul II, who served from 1978-2005.
Pope John Paul II was very conservative and old-fashioned and Pope John XXIII was outgoing with new ideas. That is why Pope Francis put the two together.

Return of Layaway
|Email Print
When I was much younger, I remember going with my parents to department stores like Sear's and JCPenney (a tradition I would continue with my wife, about a dozen years later) and the one department I never understood was the "layaway department." When I asked my parents, they didn't know what it was either because at the time, they paid cash for everything (didn't have cash? save until you do!). I didn't learn until many years later that layaway was where you could have the store hold something while you made regular payments, then you could keep it when you fully paid it off. Layaway was tossed into the gutter when credit cards became the norm, but now they're making a come back.
I think layaway is fantastic. My parents strategy of saving up money before buying something, while prudent, was risky because the item could go out of stock while they were saving. With layaway, you could put a deposit, save money through regular payments, and then be assured the product was yours when you saved up enough money. There are service fees and cancellation fees involved with layaway, so it's not a free service, but it beats paying 20% interest on a credit card. With the credit crisis and people being saddled with so much credit card debt, I think the return of layaway should be a welcomed thing.
How Does Layaway Work?
Layaway works different at each store but basically you select your items, bring them to the register, and request that they be put on layaway. You often have to put down a deposit (some dollar amount or a percentage of the total) and pay a non-refundable service fee. Layaway isn't indefinite and isn't available for all products at a store. They often exclude certain hot items (electronics) or things that are not easily layaway-able (like food, plants). Finally, there is often a time limit on how long you can put things on layaway.
It sounds like a lot of rules but it isn't, check out Sears' Layaway policy (it's only 2 pages):
- Available products: Sears Full Line, SEars Hardware, Sears Grands, Sears Essential Stores. Must be in-store merchandise.
- Down payment: $15 or 20%, whichever is greater.
- Non-refundable service fee: $5, $1 in Maryland ($5 if products greater than $500).
- Cancellation fee: $10.
- Deadline: Stores cancel and return all layaways on December 26th.
See? Not too tricky but it's also not free, I suppose you have to pay for the right to store the item so it's not entirely unfair.
Have you bought anything on layaway?

City managing director Francis Dougherty maintains Allentown has enough emergency housing to protect the homeless from winter's wrath.
But advocates for the city's homeless, who worry that winter's cold and snow will claim lives, do not agree.
Reacting to pleas that Allentown immediately should provide more shelter for homeless people in the city, on Tuesday Dougherty has issued "an official administration response" to comments made by advocates for the homeless at the Jan. 15 City Council meeting.
He stated the chief issue raised was whether there are enough shelters for the homeless in the city. His memo indicates there are.
If that is true, why are people sleeping on the floor inside an Allentown church, which has to turn people away because it gets too crowded, asked Dale Smith, an advocate for the city's homeless who reviewed Dougherty's memo.
Smith said he is disappointed with the response from the administration of Mayor Ed Pawlowski, and not only because the city does not have enough emergency shelters.
He said the administration has made no effort to collaboratively hammer out a solution with advocates who presented the problem to City Council last week.
"It's a shame that the resources of the city cannot be brought to bear to help its citizens," said Smith.
He said the administration is missing the point regarding the need to help people in the city now. Homeless advocates at the council meeting insisted something should be done immediately to protect homeless people from dangerously low winter temperatures.
"The idea is not just to get people out of the cold," maintained Dougherty. "It is to get them on a path to permanent housing, which requires case management from experience professionals."
Smith said he completely agrees with that goal, but indicated it does not address the immediate problem.
The administration "supports the relaxation of certain in-house protocols within the shelter community to provide a warm space during extreme cold for those individuals who choose not to participate in the case management system," wrote Dougherty.
"However, we cannot support and will not support totally unregulated environments, which not only pose a threat to the homeless themselves but also can pose a health concern for all our residents."
On the coldest nights this winter, as many as 40-50 homeless people have taken shelter at Safe Haven, a refuge without beds in the parish hall of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at 38 S. Eighth St. in the city.
Safe Haven has been so busy on very cold nights that some people have been turned away. Homeless people sleep right next to each other on the floor, on provided only with yoga mats and blankets.
Wrote Dougherty: "The advocates for little or no regulation point to Safe Haven as their model. It is in fact confirmed that more homeless are flocking to Safe Haven than ever before. Indeed, we know now that homeless from other municipalities are now seeking to come to Allentown and Safe Haven precisely because there are no rules and regulations."
Smith disagreed. He said homeless advocates believe any shelter needs supervision. He said one of the problems at Safe Haven is the homeless are left to manage themselves. "We agree there need to be rules," said Smith. "Safe Haven is just not the best place. It's a spot to sleep on the floor."
Smith also said some homeless people in Allentown have managed to get to Bethlehem, which he says does provide a network of emergency shelters for the homeless.
Bethlehem Emergency Sheltering is a network of overnight shelters,with cots and breakfast, for the homeless during the coldest months of the year.Churches in the city serve as sheltering sites on a rotating basis.
Dougherty indicated that on the same nights Save Haven has been full, the Allentown Rescue Mission was not at capacity and had available beds.
He said the Rescue Mission has been willing to relax its rules during the most severe weather, except for one: the requirement that those staying at the Rescue Mission must receive a voucher from the Allentown Police Department verifying they have no outstanding warrants.
Dougherty also said the Salvation Army has allowed seven extra people to stay in its lobby during severe weather. "Four women had called ahead and three were walk-ins," reported the managing director. "No one was turned away."
But Smith said the Rescue Mission only takes men and the Salvation Army only takes women. He said the Sixth Street Shelter takes families, but has a long waiting list.
He said Allentown has no emergency shelters for couples and families.
Dougherty said Heidi Baer, the city's liaison to the City's Commission to End Chronic Homelessness, determined that "collectively" beds in other places could have been used by people who stayed at Safe Haven.

OLEAN – State Police Friday reported that troopers based in Olean issued 27 tickets over a six-hour period while conducting a targeted enforcement detail associated with Operation Hang Up.
Of those summonses, there were 11 for speeding, a pair for seat belt violations and a dozen more for "move-over" violations.
Enacted Jan. 1, 2011, the "move-over law" requires motorists "to exercise due care and move over when possible when an emergency vehicle is pulled over on the side of the road," State Police officials reported.
The law holds special meaning for area troopers who lost one of their own, Trooper Kevin P. Dobson Sr. on March 26, 2011 when the 14-year veteran was struck by a passing motorist during a traffic stop on the Youngmann Memorial Highway in the Town of Tonawanda.
