The World's Greatest Volumizing Mousse.
This product offers INCREDIBLE volume in a beautiful package without the crunch or dry feeling many foam volumizers offer. I am a professional hairdresser and SWEAR by this for many of my fine haired clients with midlength-long hair. I've been using it on my own long fine hair for the past 3 years. It's especially great toward the bottom of the bottle, when it becomes less propellant and more product. I could not live without this product. Well, I probably could. But I wouldn't like it very much.
6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

I've had plantars fasciitis for about 5 years (since my last pregnancy). I've always been a minimal shoe/barefoot person, so I have a hard time believing that the vibrams are the cure all. Maybe for some. For me, I had it pretty much healed by eating a low inflammation diet and eating fish oil & diatomaceous earth(I was eating this due to a pinworm outbreak at preschool). Then, I went to disney world and walked all day for 4 days in a row and the pain came back.
Wearing the boot at night that stretches helped me, too.

YOUNGSTOWN - Jurors who convicted a man of aggravated murder last week in the suffocation deaths of two men in 2009 spared him Tuesday from the death penalty.
Instead, they opted to have Lorenza Barnette, 29, of Lora Avenue, spend the rest of his life in prison with no parole for the Aug. 9, 2009, murders of 19-year-old Darry Woods-Burt and 20-year-old Jaron Roland.
Formal sentencing will be 10 a.m. today before Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney.
Jurors convicted Barnette on Oct. 19. Prosecutors said the victims were bound with duct tape before having garbage bags placed over their heads, which also were bound by duct tape, inside a Fairgreen Avenue home.
After the two died, their bodies were put in a car, which was taken to the banks of the Mahoning River and set on fire. A fisherman found the car and called the fire department, who found their bodies.
After jurors found Barnette guilty, they were excused until Tuesday, when they heard defense attorneys J. Gerald Ingram and Ron Yarwood argue as to why Barnette's life should be spared.
Jurors had four sentencing options: death; life with no parole; life with parole after 30 years; or life with parole after 25 years.
Barnette was eligible for the death penalty because when he was found guilty, jurors also found he had killed two or more people and he committed the murders during the commission of another felony, a kidnapping.
Prosecutors put on a brief opening statement, saying they would rest their case during the sentencing phase on the testimony that showed that Barnette was guilty of death penalty specifications. Yarwood, in a brief opening statement, said that jurors should spare his client's life because he does not have a major criminal record and his jail record shows he would behave in prison. The defense and prosecution presented no witnesses.
Jurors deliberated about two hours before reaching their decision. They would have been sequestered had they not reached a verdict Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Barnette's DNA was found on the tape used to bind Woods-Burt and the garbage bags and he was seen on videotape purchasing duct tape, bags and the lighter fluid used to set the car on fire at a nearby store just hours before the murders.
The two were murdered because they were members of a North Side gang who were thought to be informing to a rival East Side gang.
Two other men will stand trial in the case and could receive the death penalty if they are convicted. The trial for Kenneth Moncrief, 26, of Fairgreen Avenue, is slated for Nov. 11 and the trial for Joseph Moreland, 28, whose listed address is the Mahoning County Justice Center, is scheduled to begin Feb. 13.

Here are some of my most frequently asked questions.
If you have a question for me and don't see it here,
click here to send it to me
. Be sure to include your
first name
, your
, and your
How old are you?
I was born in 1951, can you figure it out?
Do you like your job?
I love my job! As a fire dog, I get to teach people every day about ways they can protect themselves and their homes from fire and other dangers. But I have a lot more work to do. For example, I know that lots of families still don't have home fire escape plans, and that there are a lot of smoke alarms out there that need new batteries. I also see people who ride their bikes and scooters without helmets, forget to look both ways before crossing the street, or don't wear a seat belt while riding in the car. Fortunately, I plan to keep doing my job for a long, long time, so I can continue to help more people live safely. Just thinking about it makes my tail wag!
Are you real?
Well, of course I'm real! How else could I have my own Web site and answer everyone's questions?
How many fires do you go to each year?
Unfortunately, I go to way too may fires each year. What makes me sad is that most of those fires could have been prevented had people taken some simple safety precautions. Read the answer to my next question to find out simple safety steps you can take to be safe from fire.
How do fires start?
All fires require fuel, heat, and oxygen. The fuel is anything that can burn. The heat can come from many things, such as a lighted match, a stove, or a heater. Oxygen is in the air, and that let's the fire breathe and grow. Fires can start for many reasons. A lot of home fires start in kitchens where people are cooking. Many other home fires are caused by heating equipment. Home fires can also be caused by candles, electrical appliances, and cigarette butts. These are just a few examples of how fires can start. Fortunately, there are lots of simple steps you can take to prevent almost all fires. (Go up three questions to learn how you can keep your home safe from fire.)
What is fire safety?
Fire safety means taking simple steps to prevent fires from starting.
How can I be safe from fire?
There are many steps you can take to be safe from fire, and they're all easy. Following are ten key tips to stay fire-safe:
In the kitchen, keep your stove clean and uncluttered. Make sure a grown-up stands next to the stove all the time when something is cooking on it.
If there are adults in your home who smoke, they should use large, non-tip ashtrays. When they're finished smoking, they should either flush the cigarette butts down the toilet or rinse them with water before throwing them away.
If you see matches or lighters, don't touch them! Tell a grown-up where you found them and ask to have the matches and lighters locked up high and away from all kids in your home.
If your family uses portable or space heaters, make sure they're at least three feet away from walls, furniture, and anything that can burn. Turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep!
If your home has a fireplace, make sure there's a sturdy screen in front of it when it's being used. Only put kindling in the fireplace to keep a fire going Ð don't burn wrapping paper or other items in your fireplace.
Make sure electrical cords are in good condition. (Ask a grown-up to unplug appliances before you inspect the cords.)
Keep paint, gasoline, and other flammable liquids stored away from heat, flame, and sparks.
Make sure candles holders are heavy, sturdy, and large enough to hold candles upright.
Check to see that there's at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home and in or near all sleeping areas. Ask a grown-up to help you push the test button to make sure they're working.
Keep all the exits in your home clear of toys, trash, and clutter.
Why is home fire escape planning important?
Fire creates thick, black smoke and deadly gases that make it hard to see or breathe. And because fire can grow and spread very fast, you may have just a few minutes to escape.
A home fire escape plan makes sure everyone in your home knows exactly what to do in a fire so you can escape quickly and safely.
What do I do if I'm trapped in a room by fire?
There are several steps you can take if you become trapped in a room by fire. But before I tell you what they are, you first need to know how to avoid becoming trapped. First, make sure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home, and in or near all sleeping areas. (Working smoke alarms will let you know there's a fire, and will give you enough time to escape quickly and safely.) Then develop a home fire escape plan so you use that time wisely. A home fire escape plan includes the following:
Two exits
from each room in your home. The first exit is usually a door, and second is usually a window.
Escape routes
from all exits to the outside.
A meeting place
outside where everyone will meet.
fire department's emergency phone number
, which should be memorized and called from a nearby or neighbor's phone.
Practice, practice, practice!
Your home fire escape plan should be practiced with all members of your family at least twice a year. When practicing your plan, pretend some exits are blocked to figure out how you'd use all your exits.
In a fire, you should always try to use your first exit. If you see smoke, try your second exit. If you must go through smoke to escape, crawl low on your hands and knees under the smoke where the air is cleaner and cooler. If you follow the steps above, you should be able to escape a fire without becoming trapped. But if you do become trapped in a room, you can take the following steps:
Close all doors between you and the fire.
Seal all the door cracks and vents where smoke could enter using wet towels, duct tape, linens, or clothing.
Telephone the fire department (even if firefighters are already on scene) and tell them where you are. You can also signal to firefighters for help with a light cloth.
If possible, open the window at the top and bottom, but be prepared to shut the window immediately in case smoke blows in.
How do I escape from the second or third story of my home?
When choosing exits that are far from the ground, look for nearby balconies, or porch or garage roofs, which can be used to help you escape. You can also ask a grown-up to buy an escape ladder, which should be stored near the exit.

She has been on the cover of Time, People, American Film, and The Advocate. She's been on the silver screen, the little screen, in comedy clubs, and onstage for over four decades.
Lily Tomlin
is a staple of American comedy. Best known for her larger-than-life and still-believable characters, many remember her from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In TV, where
introduced viewers to Ernestine, the snappy telephone operator, and Edith Ann, the little girl who sits in the big chair and tells it like she sees it. Her ingenuity and knack for creating such loveable, laughable characters have rendered her a following that will last a lifetime
Another highlight of
's career (look up the word "longevity"), and perhaps one that most comprehensively captures her talents, is her long-running off-Broadway show The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, on which she collaborated with partner in showbiz and life, Jane Wagner, and won the Tony Award for Best Actress in 1986. The show was so celebrated, in fact, that it was revived for a second run in the year 2000. It was also made into a movie (which the making of was made into a documentary, simply titled
Lily Tomlin
, in 1986) and published as a book. In the show,
plays a host of characters, from bag lady to angst-ridden punk rock teen.
Not a conventional leading lady,
Lily Tomlin
has still managed to capture the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans in such box-office hits as 9 to 5 with
Dolly Parton
Jane Fonda
, All of Me with
Steve Martin
, and Big Business with
Bette Midler
. And who can forget
Lily Tomlin
in the '80s remake of The Incredible Shrinking Woman, in which she played both a disappearing housewife and the incorrigible super-consumer woman Mrs. Judy Beasley?
Before her string of box-office comedies,
was nominated for an Oscar for her dramatic role in Nashville, directed by
Robert Altman
. Later,
would team up again with
for a part in his award-winning Short Cuts, playing opposite
Tom Waits
. Additionally,
Lily Tomlin
played the character of Miss Jane in the remake of The Beverly Hillbillies, produced two animated specials revolving around the character of Edith Ann (who also made her own guest appearances on Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live), and had a regular role on Murphy Brown as Kay Carter-Shepley, the new FYI producer.
Throughout the '70s, when
was touring her act in nightclubs, she made a series of sound recordings, including

Lily Tomlin
(born Mary Jean) was premed at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.

J. C. Pearl (NASA GSFC), J. R. Spencer (SwRI), M. Segura (NASA GSFC), CIRS Team
The Cassini CIRS instrument records spectra over a broad range of thermal wavelengths. Its three focal planes provide coverage from 7 micrometers to 1 mm, with selectable spectral resolutions. We are investigating the thermal properties of the Saturnian satellites. As limiting cases, we compare the long wavelength behavior of daytime spectra of Enceladus and Iapetus. Enceladus has the lowest, and Iapetus the highest daytime temperature of the satellites. In addition, the spectra show sharp rolloffs toward long wavelengths; for example, afternoon spectra of Cassini Regio show a brightness temperature drop of 20K between 25 and 250 micrometers. We are attempting to explain this behavior. The effect can arise from any or all of several causes: thermal inhomogeneities in the field of view due to albedo, shadowing, latitudinal or local time variations, or to "thermal sounding" of the vertical temperature gradient in the near surface regolith made possible by spectral variability of the regolith material. However, an explanation due to thermal sounding seems to fail, both because the decrease in the ice absorption coefficient toward long wavelengths appears inadequate, and because an expected reversal or attenuation of the brightness temperature rolloff at night is not observed. The situation for Enceladus may be complicated by the presence of significant spatial variations in thermal inertia, as seen in CIRS darkside observations. As an additional comparison, we also contrast the rolloff of the satellite spectra with the rolloff observed by CIRS for spectra of Saturn's rings.

10 Great Books for BoysJessica Ashley
I didn't keep a baby book for my boy. But most of his milestones have been archived in writing, documented in thousands of digital photos and pressed into my mind. Among my favorite is learning to read. I took a video that I still keep on my phone from his early days of reading alone. His baby robot reading voice rattles on during those three minutes, and behind the camera phone, I both smiling and sobbing.
He's eight now a year-and-a-half into reading chapter books on his own now, but we still spend time each night before bed and some time before he takes off for weekends with his dad reading together. I know that all too soon, early-reader chapter books will give way to e-reader textbook and probably magazines I will never, ever as his mother need to know he "reads." For now, though, I love sharing half-hour escapes with my son and a dapper-dressed mouse, a bulletin-board flattened boy, a lost dog, a monster that lives in the potty and a middle child with social anxiety disorder.
These characters and chapters have delivered conversations, inside jokes and made-up stories inspired by whatever it is we read the night before. I've loved many of these books as much, and sometimes more, than my second-grader. But maybe it is because I know the time we spend snuggled up with a Shel Silverstein poem or classic Cleary series is fleeting, the books we read aloud will move to the back of the book shelf or into taped-up boxes in the basement — and all too soon.
Here are ten books (some from a series worth make your way through) my boy has begged to read for just five minutes more, that have made us both laugh, with pages we've dog-eared many times. Of course, your daughters may love them, your kids who are older or younger may tear through them, too.
But if you want specifics, here are ten great books for boys aged 6-ish to 9-ish to read with you, the best of all we've read (so far).
Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson 1 of 10"This one's about a boy's adventures with his imaginary friend, a tiger stuffed animal," that's all I had to say about "Calvin and Hobbes" to my 8-year old son. I'd found it at a garage sale, and an hour later, my boy was stretched out on the couch, pouring over each page. It's great weekend reading for him. And lucky for all of us, I am quite sure my brother has a few more Calvin and Hobbes books stashed in my parents' basement somewhere. [My cost, 25-cents, $10 new.Available here.]
Alvin Ho by Lenore Look 2 of 10Alvin Ho is the middle child, has social anxiety issues and is afraid of many things. You'll want to read this with your son to explain the oft-referenced writers Alvin believes haunt the town and why he goes to see a therapist. But the explanations are well worth it -- Alvin and his family handle fears, school, a friend with an eye patch and even the death of a family friend in the series with sweetness, humor, cleverness and realness. Alvin's quirky ways will make you and your kiddo love him (and quickly) -- in his Firecracker Man costume, as he confers with his grandparents and as he takes his dad's advice on being a gentleman. [$6.99. Available here.]
A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever by Marla Frazee 3 of 10Take a break in between chapter books for this adorably illustrated, stylized book about two boys who go to Nature Camp for a week. James and Eamon are buddies who spend the week with Eamon's grandparents, hilarious and retired penguin lovers, and learn more about being friends in the off-hours of camp than they do making pine-cone crafts. Moments of silliness, lots of real boy-talk and a sweet ending. [About $12. Available here.]
Secret Agent Jack Stalwart series by Elizabeth Singer Hunt 4 of 10Nine-year old Jack is a secret agent, who not only solves crimes but is also in search of his missing older brother. Jack's backpack is filled with cool spy gear and, even better, each novel includes a file on the country and culture that he visits. Honestly, my son has filed away facts about China, Kenya and Italy that frequently surprise me from this intel. We're anxiously hoping Singer Hunt writes a few more for this series. [$6 each.

Stuart Little by E.B. White 5 of 10E.B. White wrote the adventures of Stuart Little, a mouse born into a human family in New York City, in 1945. And while some details will confound your kid -- an inkwell on the teacher's desk, an ice box in the kitchen, a telephone on the wall in the hall -- the charm and humor will speak to you both. Like Beverly Cleary, White has a way of writing to kids in a wholesome, cheeky way you will be delighted by as well. [$6 or free if you can dig it out of a dusty box in your attic. Available here. ]
Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary 6 of 10Beverly Cleary first put Henry Huggins on the page in 1950 after the boys in the library where she worked asked her to write a book about "boys like us." Henry lives on Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon, has friends on the street (including Beezus and Ramona, who later got their own series), dreams of having a paper route and adopts a dog who becomes his best buddy. My son and I read all of Cleary's books one summer, and "Henry Huggins" was the perfect beginning to an amazing reading experience. [$6 each.Available here.]
Ribsy by Beverly Cleary 7 of 10Henry Huggins, one of Cleary's central characters, has lost his dog Ribsy. While Henry and his family search, Ribsy tries to find his way home, having adventures of his own at many stops along the way. Think you (or your boy) can't be engaged for a few hundred pages of a dog's point of view? Well, then you haven't read Cleary's description as a lonely granny dresses the pup up in spectacles for her lady-friends. [Six bucks, and I skipped over the sentences about Ribsy eating horse meat.Available here.] ]
Everything On It by Shel Silverstein 8 of 10Every few months, we pull out a Shel Silverstein poetry book. They each have their own magic and all are full of sweet, thought-provoking and funny poems that your child will come to differently as he grows, develops and learns to read them with different inflection, voices and experiences. Perhaps the most pivotal: This book has a poem and illustration about a toilet troll. You're welcome. [$12 hardcover. Available here.]
Nate the Great by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat 9 of 10Nate solves mysteries, along with his sidekick dog, for his offbeat friends. Taking breaks over pancakes to review clues and leaving handwritten notes for his mother, Nate knows exactly who he is even before he figures out where the missing stamp, beach ball and birthday present went. As the reader, the cadence in Nate books is perfection, lending an old-timey detective feel to classic kid talk. The older books rate higher in my opinion than newer adventures, but there are plenty of both. These swift reads are perfect to pick up for a trip. [$4.50 each. Available here.]
Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown 10 of 10The series about Stanley Lambchop, a boy who is accidentally flattened in the night by a fallen bulletin board, was launched in the mid-60's and spurred scholastic projects for many school kids. Stanley embraces his new existence, mailing himself to other countries to solve mysteries, allows himself to be flown like a kite and scales the Washington monument. Fun, entertaining and simple reads, the only downside of the flattened hero is the predictable formula. [$3-5-ish for each book. Available here.]

Fears and Anxiety Treated with Patience, Kindness and Care
Fort Myers resident Patty Doyle was experiencing excruciating back pain. Her pain management physician, Dr. Jonathan Daitch, ordered an MRI to assure proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Claustrophobic and anxious, Patty opted for an open MRI at Lee Memorial Health System's Outpatient Center at Riverwalk.
"That was my first MRI," Patty recalls. "I was practically in tears because I didn't want to do it. But, the MRI technologist, Cindy Huitema, was amazing—she made the experience tolerable. She talked to me the entire time, and she didn't make me feel like there was something wrong with me or that I was wasting her time."
That first MRI, which was in March, focused on Patty's lower back. In late July, Dr. Daitch ordered a second MRI to get a better view of Patty's middle and upper back.
"With the second MRI, I knew I was going to be more closed in and I was terrified," Patty says. "Cindy was there again—thank goodness—because if she wasn't there, I would have bolted."
Patty shares that not only did Cindy remember her, she made accommodations to be with her for the entire procedure. "Cindy asked Peter Kouba [lead MRI technologist] to perform the MRI, so she could sit by me and hold my hand. She read the newspaper to me throughout the procedure to help me cope with my claustrophobia. She and Peter were amazing."
Patty says she understands that because nurses, doctors and health care providers see illness, disease and pain every single day, they often have to detach themselves from situations in order to perform their job and treat their patients. "I felt like Cindy and Peter didn't detach themselves from me; instead they attached themselves for that time period," Patty says. "Even though they may not have understood the pain or fears I was experiencing, I felt like they wanted to understand. They were respectful, kind and provided the best care.
"As much as I appreciate Cindy and Peter, and as wonderful as they are, I hope I am done with the MRIs," Patty says.
Patty's story reminds us that it often is the small gestures, the personal touches that make all the difference in reducing stress and improving the patient experience.

Nightlife and restaurants are the chief attractions here, but there's also a cluster of new museums and galleries. Here too is Kerameikos, site of a substantial section of the walls of ancient Athens and an important burial ground. South of Thissío, things are rather more traditional. The hills of the Pnyx and Filopáppou offer a pleasant, green escape from the city as well as fine views down over the Acropolis and Agora. On the west side of the hills, the residential zone of Áno Petrálona is a real delight, entirely untouristy, with some excellent tavernas and a great open-air cinema, though absolutely nothing in the way of sights.

How to Get Repeat Visits to Your Web Site
That's the whole thing. People will return to your web site if you have something to say. They won't come to check out the same static pages they saw last week.
The trick is having something to say. Iris Shoor gives some great tips on having something to say here. This is a great start, but the bottom line is that you need to actually use your brain to think. Keeping up with industry trends is a start, but in order to express your opinion, you actually have to have one.
One of our biggest gripes about company sites is that the "blog" is nothing more than a bunch of product announcements and press releases. That information is important, and a blog is a great way to publish, but it's not a substitute for having something to say.
From my perspective, there are two main ways to drive more traffic and sales. The first is to pay for advertising and promotion. The other is to develop a long-term strategy where you provide valuable content. Valuable, by the way, doesn't have to be serious. I consider it extremely valuable to laugh, so funny is as good as informative.
Long-term value is much more important when you have a product that people don't buy routinely or at first glance.
Being interesting isn't hard, but it is extremely time-consuming. It means keeping up with your industry, and having an opinion about what is happening. Even re-posting important information in your industry requires taking the time to read through the industry news and hand-pick interesting pieces.
If you are looking to outsource social media presence, don't choose a social media expert. Your teenager is now a social media expert. What you need is a content expert. Choose someone who can understand your industry, keep up with trends, ask your staff intelligent questions, and write interesting commentary both on your blog and as a response to other people's posts. This should be someone who you trust to have good judgment and represent the face of your company.
You'll need to make sure that they either post in your name, or make it clear they are representing the company if you want to drive traffic back to yourself. (In other words, don't lie and pretend they are unaffiliated when they are. You want to take credit for being smart, and you don't want to lie to your customers.)
<Shameless Plug>At Tech-Tav, we've recently been offering a variety of content marketing services to our customers. These range from weekly blog writing services to a full social-media content presence package. With 20 years of experience with a wide variety of technologies, we offer deep understanding of your industry with excellent English-language writing services.</Shameless Plug>

Summary: This hike is stunning. The vistas are superb and unmatched. When you reach the peak, you will be standing at 11,049 feet, the highest point in Death Valley National Park. From the top you can see Badwater, at -280 the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere, and Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States.
The trail starts out steep. It is very strenuous going for the first two miles. You immediately begin to get great views into Death Valley. After two miles the trail levels off onto a wind-swept ridge. From here it is easy going for about three miles. You will start to wander among the ancient bristlecone pines - gnarled by wind, time, and occasionally fire.
The last two miles greets you with no less than 13 switchbacks, and the occasional "it must be right over here." You'll get there sign the peak register, and have one of the most enjoyable hikes of your life. The distance is what makes this one strenuous.
Trailhead: From the 190, take Emigrant Canyon Road South - turn left(east) at Wildrose Canyon Rd - drive nine miles to the Mahogany Flat campground. This is a very steep and rough dirt road, especially after the Charcoal Kilns. If you have a low clearance vehicle, you may want to park at the Wildrose campground even though it will add two miles to your trip. The trailhead is before the campground right next to a fire road, and very easy to find.
There is a trail register to sign a few hundred feet from the start and a register at the top.
Or if you are coming from the South take the 178 to Wildrose Canyon Road and turn right(east). (Lat:36.16976 Lon:-117.08911)

Hiked in August(2012), 122 in Badwater the day before. We couldn't make it to Mahogany Flat and the trailhead because of our rental. So we started our hike at the kilns about 3 miles lower. We had plenty of water, but the sun was still pretty punishing. My buddy stopped just after the saddle (bad knee) so I speed hiked to the summit, did the photo thing, and speed hiked back down. From the trailhead head to the summit would have been difficult, but not brutal. However, the addition of the miles at the start of the hike and end just about did us in. If at all possible... drive up to Mahogany Flat and don'thike in August. Also if you are unaccustomed to the altitude expect some discomfort and be mindful.

The last portion of the road to the trailhead was pretty rough. I made it in my sedan but really wish I had a high clearance vehicle. The trailhead was easy to find. The first 2 miles were difficult, don't get discouraged. The middle flattened out and had gorgeous views. The last mile plus was also steep, but well worth it. We measured the hike at little over 6 miles one way.

Hiked this bad boy on March 24th with a buddy of mine. Pretty strenous, a continous uphill battle except for the part that goes between Rogers Peak and Bennet Peak. Little bit of snow, had treking poles which helped. The views and surrondings are more amazing than the average human can describe!! I really didn't think we would make it because of the ton of switchbacks, we decided to go straight up the ridge and believe it or not it was actually easier. Once you get to the top its so gratifying!! You really fell liked you've accomplished something. We left a flag and picture case up there for all the fallen comrades of the wars lost in every American battle. Making it a yearly anniversary thing. http://www.summitpost.org/telescope-peak/782

Hiked Feb 4th 2012, Trail was great. very little snow till last mile. solid snow above 10,000ft but no need for ice axe or crampons, I only wore gortex hiking shoes. great view of the snowy sierras and down to badwater basin. Camped at mahogany camp. started trail at 9am submitted at 11:50 after a 30 min rest on top we were back to the car by 2:50. excellent view from the peak.

Got to the top on January 14th, 2012. The 6.25 mile trail was in excellent condition with patches of snow and ice on the final 2 mile climb. No crampons or ice axe needed right now, but if they get some snow this trail would be impassable without that gear. The view from the top is one of the best I have seen. From Mt. Whitney to Mt. Charleson and 360 degrees in between. Will definitely return.

2 out of 5 successfully summitted on March 27th, 2011. The trail was covered with 3 to 4 feet of snow most of the way, getting deeper as we got closer to the summit. It took 9 hours of hiking (excluding break time). The weather was ~5 degrees at the Research Station and 0 degree at the summit. Iceaxe, crampons, and waterproof layers helped. The view was breadthtaking and I felt like we were in the high planes of Peru. Only for EXPERIENCED winter climbers who has summitted 10K+ peaks. 11K+, wind, snow, and exposure made it harder to summit during winter and early spring time. I'd like to summit again next time from Shorty's Well.
Reviewed by JT on 5/22/2010
We wen't on May 22 2010 as a family the two adults and two boys age 6 to 9. I didn't think the hike was bad we had to hike on the ridge about a mile and half from the summit because there was snow on the trail. The kids did fine going up but on the way down they hard time I think it was the distance. After the hike they said that they would do it again next year.

The Youngstown State University Concert Band and Wind Ensemble and Dana School of Music alumni will honor the late Robert E. Fleming at a concert at 8 p.m. Monday at Stambaugh Auditorium.
The concert will be preceded by a tribute dinner at Stambaugh's Anne Kilcawley Christman Memorial Hall honoring Fleming, former YSU Director of Bands from 1968 to 1984 who died last year on Christmas day. Fleming, who lived in Warren, also was co-conductor of the W.D. Packard Concert Band.
The goal of the dinner is to fund an endowed scholarship in his name.
The concert, entitled ''Remembering Robert E. Fleming: A Musical Tribute,'' begins with the Concert Band opening with John Barnes Chance's ''Incantation and Dance.' Graduate conducting student Eric Bable will conduct ''Kaddish,'' an elegiac tribute by W. Francis McBeth. The Concert Band will close its set with a new work by Brian Balmages, ''Midnight on Main Street.''
The YSU Wind Ensemble will perform Vaughan Williams wind band classic, ''Toccata Marziale.'' Senior flutist Heidi Keener will perform Francois Borne's ''Carmen Fantasie.'' The Wind Ensemble's final piece, along with the Concert Band and Dana Alumni Band brass sections will close with Ottorino Respighi's epic tone poem, ''The Pines of Rome.''
The Dana All-Star Band is comprised of YSU band alumni from across the country. The All Star Band will pay tribute to Fleming, whose work helped elevate the YSU Band program to a nationally recognized status. The All Star Band will open its program with a march medley that includes ''Mad Major'' and ''Barnum and Bailey's Favorite.'' as well as ''Amazing Grace'' and Bainum's transcription of Kalinnikov's Symphony No. 1 in G Minor: IV Finale.
Brandt Payne and Stephen L. Gage conduct the YSU Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, and the Dana All Star Band will be led by Joseph Edwards, Donald W. Byo and Gage.
Alumni who want to participate in the Dana Alumni All Star Band should contact Gage at email@example.com.

"I lead a very quiet life when I'm not working," the SAG Award winner star, who practices his carpentry during his often long down time between movies, told England's Daily Mail magazine Weekend.
But disputing his reputation as a hermit, Day-Lewis, 50, says, "I'm not in hiding behind closed doors. How can you be a recluse in a house full of children?"
In addition to Ronan, Day-Lewis is father to 5-year-old Cashel, and the family lives in a remote, 18th-century house in rural Ireland. Mother is Day-Lewis's wife Rebecca, 45, whom he met while making 1996's The Crucible, which was written by her father, Arthur Miller. (Day-Lewis also has a 12-year-old son, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis, from a former relationship with actress Isabel Adjani.)
Pragmatic Parenting"My life is enriched in every single way by my boys," says the actor. "I'm quite a hands-on parent."
Illustrating the sort of father he is, Day-Lewis says, "I, like my parents before me, am endlessly saying, 'When I was a kid' – and who cares about that? They don't care. It's their experience, that's the important thing."
Still, he admits, "You recognize characteristics of your own parents in yourself that you swore as a kid you'd never be like. And yet you are."
And their mother, Rebecca? "She is the most normal, down-to-earth person you could ever meet," he says. "We agree entirely about how to raise our children, and we enjoy each other's company."

General Motors Co. is continuing to keep its word of investing $2 billion in 17 facilities in eight states.
Today – the Detroit automaker announced a $20 million investment in machinery and equipment for its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City to add future technologies and improvements to the Buick LaCrosse.
Improvements to the popular vehicle include eAssist, a light electrification technology that will boost highway fuel economy by 25 percent over the current model.
Facilities in Bowling Green, Ky.; Arlington, Tex.; Toledo and Defiance, Ohio; Bedford, Ind., and Bay City, Detroit, Flint, Lansing and Warren, previously received investment announcements.
The Fairfax investment is primarily for manufacturing machinery, equipment and special tooling for the current facility, according to GM. The plant, which opened in 1987, is home to the LaCrosse and the Chevrolet Malibu.
"The LaCrosse has been critical to the resurgence of Buick, bringing many new customers to Buick showrooms," said GM Manufacturing Manager Jim Glynn. "This investment to improve an already strong car will help us continue winning converts to the brand."
The plant operates on three shifts and in 2010 produced 320,000 Malibus and LaCrosses.
The most recent announcement in Michigan involved with the $2 billion investments occurred last week at the automaker's Warren Technical Center. The $130 million investment is for a new enterprise data center that will be the hub for monitoring the company's technology data from around the world.
Other investment part of the $2 billion, include:
- June 10: GM to invest $47M in Ohio factory
- May 31: General Motors to invest $88M in Lansing plant that will build new Cadillac model
- May 26: General Motors to add 110 jobs at Texas factory
- May 25: $69M investment and 2,500 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck to produce Chevy Impala, Malibu
- May 19: Chevy Volt production to increase to 60,000 vehicles a year at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly
- May 11: General Motors plans $100 million investment at Flint, Bay City plants

Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez: cities should transport their own prisoners to county jail
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez has an idea to save her intelligence unit from the budget chopping block.
But it won't make her popular with cities.
Valdez is proposing to stop transporting prisoners from jails in other cities to the main Lew Sterrett jail complex. The "inter-city transfers," as they are known, cost almost $400,000 a year.
Here is the thinking: Dallas police bring their prisoners to Lew Sterrett so why can't the rest of the cities do so? The sheriff is not required by any law to pick up prisoners at city jails.
Valdez also is proposing to cut eight court bailiff positions, which would save more than $452,000.
She wants to keep the intelligence officers because they help solve crimes.
The county commissioners will discuss her proposal on June 30.

J.B. Holmes shoots 64 in the final round of the Shell Houston Open to get into a three-way play-off, which he wins.
The final round -8 under par 64 gave JB a -16 under par Shell Houston Open total, a score that was matched by Jordan Spieth and Johnson Wagner.
To win the play-off he parred the index one hole, the 18th twice, to claim victory, and a place next week in The Masters.
In interview JB admitted he did not expect to win today;
"I didn't focus on the results at any point in the round."
"I was just trying to do the best I could do each hole and at the end of the round, then you add it up."
"I didn't tee off expecting to win today, but you know, it's a nice surprise."
"I'm trying to take a deep breath and stay in the moment, not let my mind race, just sometimes say a little prayer."
Jordan bogied the first extra hole, saying he heard camera click on his backswing, apart from that little mistake he is well prepared for The Masters;
"I don't know if it was me or it actually happened, either way, I still should be able to get down through the sand there. No excuse."
"I felt more and more comfortable with more and more pressure, and that gives me a lot of confidence going into Augusta, where you probably have the most pressure anywhere."
"I feel as prepared as I think I could be."
"To be able to get up-and-down again, just like Valspar, gives me a lot of confidence on the greens, and that's obviously the most important piece next week."
"But I'm going to need to strike the ball a little better to have a chance to win."
Johnson Wagner won the 2008 Shell Houston Open, he nearly did it again, and was disappointed not have done;

I had surgery with his father 18 years ago and still now people still keep asking what I had done that I look so good. Well, I did sent one of my friends to have surgery at the Chugay Cosmetic Surgery and since Dr. Chugay Senior was not at the office, my friend was seen by Dr. Paul Chugay. He was very impress with Dr. Paul friendly and professional manners and he did decided to have his surgery with him. It is been a month since his surgery and I saw him last Friday, he looks great and he gave me a big hugh and told me how happy he is with the results and the overall care provided by Dr. Paul Chugay and all his staff. Now, I am thinking that maybe is time for me to have a little touch up with Dr. Paul Chugay!
Dr Paul is exactly what you would wish for when it comes to making a decision on what qualities you would expect and want from a cosmetic surgeon ! His consults are fully engaged and caring and it never stops from the ideas and thoughts for what Will be best all the way through the surgery and follow ups. He truly cares about you being completely happy with your results. And his staff is just as caring. I would recommend him to ANYONE. Looking for cosmetic surgery ! My procedure was a great experience and my fears were put to rest.
Yo he sido paciente del Dr. Nikolas Chugay por mas de 20 años, He tenido cirugias y siempre he quedado contenta. Disfruto asistir a los Botox Parties cada tres meses. Me siento en buenas manos en Chugay Cosmetic Surgery sabiendo que ahora tambien tenemos de doctor a su hijo Dr.Paul Chugay.
Dr. Paul Chugay his very dedicated and does what you ask for ! I would recommend him ...
Dr.Paul Chugay is 120% dedicated to making his patients happy. I've recently had a procedure with him & would not hesite to recommend him to friends and family!
Dr. Chugay was very caring and compassionate. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family

West Texas A&M University officials took their proposal to raise next school year's tuition by $150 to students Tuesday at the main campus in Canyon.
WT plans to raise tuition to offset state budget cuts and cover expenses such as faculty and staff merit raises, higher lease payments at the school's downtown Amarillo location and teaching positions in two new engineering programs.
WT President J. Patrick O'Brien said raises are necessary to retain and attract faculty.
He said WT's faculty and staff make lower salaries than their counterparts at other universities.
"In addition to salary increase, we're looking at expenses we're going to be confronted with," he told students during a morning hearing at the Jack B. Kelley Student Center. "(In civil engineering), we've got to have a certain number of faculty for that program to remain accredited."
The proposed increase will raise about $1.6 million.
Tuesday morning's hearing was attended by about a dozen students, some of whom expressed no major concern about the proposed tuition hike.
Bryan Johnson, a junior civil engineering major who attended the hearing, said he pays less at WT than at a community college he previously attended in New York. He said he paid $2,100 per semester at his previous school but pays less now at WT with the help of scholarships.
"For me, I don't think it's a bad idea," he said about the proposed tuition hike. "And I think it's a good idea that he's focusing on engineering majors."
Nick Goettsche, vice president of WT's student government, said students generally don't like tuition hikes. But he said he understands the need to offset budget cuts and fund other important university functions.
"We need to do what we need to do," he said. "If it benefits the students, we need to hold our nose and go with it."
Brenton Thurber, a junior who didn't attend the meeting, said $150 doesn't seem like much when it's factored into WT's total cost of tuition and fees.
"I'm on financial aid, and that should cover that pretty well," he said, adding that he uses loans to pay for school.
Mariela Mendoza, a sophomore majoring in education, said the tuition hike can be covered by a small scholarship.
"But scholarships are kind of hard to get," she said. "As college students, you know you have other expenses to take care of."
The Texas A&M University System board of regents plan to take action on WT's proposed tuition increase in May. WT's tuition this school year was the same as last year's.
Gary Barnes, WT's vice president of business and finance, said the university wants to set aside $1.6 million next year for merit raises. He said the increase would help fund that amount.
"That's to be sure we keep our faculty and staff," he said.
But Barnes said he's still not completely sure about whether WT will be able to set aside $1.6 million for faculty and staff raises.
Last year the Texas Legislature approved $26.7 million for WT this school year, down from $30.9 million last year, according to figures presented Monday. Lawmakers approved $26.5 million for WT for the 2012-13 school year.
The average annual salary for WT's assistant, associate and full professors is $63,867, according to university figures from the summer. In contrast, the average salary for those same positions at similar-sized schools in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana is $71,114, according to 2010-11 data.
WT's in-state undergraduate tuition is $152 per semester credit hour, with $102 of that charged by WT and $50 by Texas. An undergraduate Texas resident enrolled in 15 semester credit hours pays an estimated $3,215 when other student fees are included, according to figures on the university's web site. Tuition revenue makes up a third of WT's total budget.

The children's stories
are filled with fear and suffering, both emotionally and physically.
Every Jewish child was marked for destruction simply because he
or she was Jewish. The Nazis murdered Jewish children because they
wanted to create a biologically pure "Aryan" society.
Although the Nazi plan
for the murder of all Jews was introduced in each occupied country
at different times, the steps in this ruthless scheme were essentially
the same. The mass annihilation was always preceded by a carefully
coordinated sequence: violation of human rights, expropriation of
property, removal from employment and ejection to designated areas,
usually sealed ghettos or transitory camps. Everywhere, throughout
this tragic period, Jewish children were confronted by overpowering,
destructive forces.
Sometimes Jews were fortunate
to find good people who said "no" to the Nazis. Although
rescuers represented only a very small number of people in Nazi-occupied
Europe, they could be found everywhere. Most countries had special
sections of their underground resistance movements devoted to saving
Jewish children. But, most often, those who helped acted as individuals.
Ordinary people risked horrifying punishment and the safety of their
families to rescue Jewish children. Whatever their reasons for helping
-- out of friendship, religious conviction, patriotism, or for money
-- they risked execution or deportation to a concentration camp
for doing so.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will lean on the expertise of researchers at McGill University in a collaboration focused on developing a treatment for cystic fibrosis that corrects the dysfunction caused by the mutated CFTR gene rather than just treating the symptoms of the disease. Co-sponsored by the Canadian Institues of Health Research, the work will build on the McGill team's research on the CFTR protein, and their previous identification of molecules that appear to restore normal CFTR function.
The partnership will in addition represent the flagship project of a new cystic fibrosis translational research CFTR center at McGill, which has been established support from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.
"We will now be looking at enhancing these small molecules to improve their ability to rescue or correct the mutant protein, allowing it to reach its proper location and be more active," comments John Hanrahan, Ph.D., a professor at McGill's department of physiology.
GSK says it hopes that by the end of the two-year collaboration the research will have generated a compound ready for investigation as a potential disease-modifying therapy. "Collaborations such as these, where we share knowledge, expertise, and resource, provide a highly effective way of progressing cutting edge research," notes Roberto Solari, Ph.D., head of respiratory biology at GSK.

Ready to energize the party, a local delegate to the Democratic National Convention says the event next week in North Carolina will be very positive. Hillary Blackerby leaves Monday night after a party barbecue in Oak Park. "We know in California, the message of the Democratic Party is resounded, to the point that the California Republican Party is closing up shop," said Blackerby. She says, the undecided and voters who list themselves as Independent, are still a vital target. "Conventions are always a time to energize the base of one's party but also to expand it and talk big ideas and talk about how we are going to reach those who are undecided. I personally don't under stand how you can be undecided at this point, but people take their time," said Blackerby. Coming off the Republican convention that concluded in Tampa last night local delegate Andrew Firestone told KEY News by phone "different times call for different types of leaders." Firestone was on the convention floor Thursday night when Mitt Romney accepted the party's nomination. He called Romney a "turn around specialist," with a strong back ground in running successful businesses. Firestone says it's exactly what the country needs. "Things have gotten progressively worse,the economy is sluggish unemployment grew from 8.2 percent in June 8.3 percent in July. 23 million people are out of work. What I got out of this is Mitt Romney is a really, really good manager." But next week it's the Democratic Party in the spotlight. "We're excited to move forward. They're gonna do what they're gonna do. We're gonna be out spent seven to one," said Blackerby. "The stakes are very very high this time and if you don't get out and vote who knows what we can get." KEY News Senior Reporter John Palminteri has the story.

Friends Alma and Phil Gallagher; Dennis and Shirley Williams; and Fred and Kathy Dudenhoefer; of Erie, recently enjoyed a trip through Eastern Europe.
Who: Alma Gallagher, Phil Gallagher, Dennis Williams, Shirley Williams, Fred Dudenhoefer and Kathy Dudenhoefer, all of Erie.
Where: Eastern Europe
When: Sept. 19-29
What she said: "Our adventure began aboard the river cruise ship, MS Amalegro, in Budapest, Hungary," said Shirley Williams. "We were surprised to meet others from Erie on the Amalegro's sister ship. In Budapest, we visited the Millennium Monument, Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Gallery, after which we crossed the Danube River and visited the castle district.
"We proceeded up the Danube, stopping in Bratislava in Slovakia. In Austria, we toured Vienna where we attended a concert. Then it was on to Durnstein and exploring the Wachau Valley on bicycles, 20 miles along the River Bank to the Melk Abbey.
"We continued on to Linz, Austria, Salzburg, and journeyed through Passau and Vilshofen in the southern part of the Bavarian Forest. We passed through 16 locks between Budapest and Kelheim in Germany, where we disembarked.
"We then enjoyed a three-day stay in Prague, Czech Republic, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
"This was a remarkable trip with delightful friends."

I think its really 5.7", but its curved. So you only end up with 5.6" instead.

Lowered expectations? You get excited by a Note 3S, a Note 3 with a wonky edge on one side that screws up apps on both the side and the main screen, a ginormous Tizen wristband, and a VR headset for an OS that has no good games to take advantage of it (No OS really has them, BTW)?
44. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Why not just add the extra screen space, put the icons on the side, and not bend the screen? I don't see any added functionality to the curve whatsoever. You just have yourself one ugly looking phone. Damnit, at least make the curve bilateral!
The star of the show is 50% charging in 30 minutes. This edge crap is just samsung's latest gimmick.
46. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
I agree. The addition of an "edge" display doesn't really solve a problem.
One can make up problems, i.e. notifications, but any case with a preview window can provide the same limited view as an "edge". The "clock" view is interesting, but again can be solved by using a dock for the phone to make the front visible.
Overall, though, I am glad Samsung went ahead and made a phone with an "edge" display. If nothing else, it will help everyone think about vertical UI which will be beneficial for the entire Android community. This is what leadership is all about.

As if your beloved Apple has made exceptional upgrades in every new generation..
64. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2183; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
I've owned every generation of the Note, all of them in multiples, as we as every generation of the Galaxy S, and most of those in multiples, so don't even try to paint me with some "either or" brush.
The Note 4 is "meh," with one decent upgrade (Not Samsung's doing), and the Edge is an ergonomic nightmare that poses a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. They will both flop, and hard.
The Gear S? You might as well buy a Belkin armband and strap a smartphone to your wrist. When people see the size of the thing, they will laugh. It looks redonkulous on a man's wrist, let alone a woman's. This thing is "The Edsel of Wearable Tech."
81. Immolate (Posts: 310; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)
When you have a winner like the Note 3, upgrades necessarily become more subtle as time goes by. Sometimes you have to take risks to stay ahead of the competition. That said, the Note 4 has some welcome upgrades and will sell like Cracker Jacks. The Edge will attract a segment. I'm not sure if that segment will be merely significant or seriously big, but it won't be small. I'll be picking one up from Verizon when they come out, and handing my Note 3 down to the wife. We'll see which of us is right.

PA correction "We've got a 4.6-inch (yes, it's smaller than the Note 4's) AMOLED display with a Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution, good for the whopping 525 pixels per inch." 5.6 not 4.6.

i wouldnt use this phone even if somebody give it to me
im very disappointed by the whole Note 4 series, i actually had my money ready to replace my Note 3 but it's just not worth it

This advances nothing. Curved screens have been around for a year, and the Note 3S and Note Edge do nothing else to advance anything. Are you trying to be the poster child for blind fanboys?

So who is talking about small updates here????
Apple fan?????
It has quad hd display,s805 processor, and has new 16mp camera sensor with OIS, finger print sensor....not to forget software novelties like ultra power saving mode....and spen functions....
Lets see what apple's biggest update will bring to table...

yes, curved and bend, these are two different screens and regarded as two different screens by display specialists, for your information... I know you are having curved screen since your childhood, well thats ok... it will wowed many if only apple will release it...

I have a feeling 2015 will be the year for side/curved screens, if only to get rid of all physical buttons (as well as added functionality). No more volume and power buttons.

I get it. You free up space at the bottom of your phone by moving all of that stuff to the side. The idea seems legit to me, I just don't know if this solution(edge thing) really solves a problem that many people have. I really don't care that the bottom of my phone is used up by "contacts", "phones", "messages", ect. Do others care about that?

People are just greedy nowadays, they want more and more. Except the fact that their trying to push the envelope instead of keeping everything the same. I guarantee back in the early 2000s this is what everyone wanted now that they get it, its a gimmick, or not useful. They actual listen to you guys, but they can't come out with it when you want they have to further their ideas and software to try and make things better as they see fit. This is just a rant on the people who won't accept the fact that in order to make things better their has to be mistakes. Thank you samsung for pushing the envelope and furthering your software

I want to see a drop test of the Note Edge. A drop about 20 ft falling facing the right edge on a concrete surface.

I don't understand the point of having that thin screen on the side..
I prefer Note 4

This is actually the exact phone I was waitng for. My only concern has been how they would implement the side screen without the user constantly hitting buttons while holding it. Sounds like the reviewer ran into that issue. I love the idea. I just need to see if it will work for me. If not, I like the Note 4. For those that keep complaining about bloatware, buy a different device (Nexus, iphone). Some of what you consider bloatware are the things that draw others to this phone. At any rate, most things can be turned off. As for memory, given the devices ability to add more space via microsd, I don't find it an issue (millions of others don't seem to mind either). Nice job Samsung.

Why are people against the edge, it's certainly different and new and its functional. You can't just oppose ideas like that, you wont see any innovation if you wanted your phone the old-fashioned way

actually nonsense design

I hope there to be an option for disabling the side screen since many people will simply want it.
And they will wonder : "Why did I buy an Edge in first place?"
