7 Best Lip Balms -- and the 5 Worst
You know how a great lip balm gets your lips smooth and soft instantly -- and a bad one takes forever to work (if it works at all)? Here's what to pick, and what to skip, for your softest lips ever
Skip to see the 12 best and worst lip balms now.
Compared to its trendier cousins, lipstick and lip gloss, balm is often the forgotten friend that fails to receive any time in the spotlight. However, it's something that you'll find at the bottom of practically every woman's purse for good reason: With all the stuff we put on our lips, lip balm is a moisturizing must that preps the pout for a smooth, even application of lip color.
Luckily, lip balm has come a long way from good ol' Vaseline. From ones that impart gorgeous berry colors to those that offer a whopping SPF 35, there's no shortage when it comes to the variety of lip balms available. So to help you sort out the crème de la crème from the just plain awful, we compiled reviews on the best and worst lip balms readers have tried. With this list in hand, you'll know exactly which lip balms have the potential to be your new favorites.
SEE NEXT PAGE: The Worst No. 5: Blistex Fruit Smoothies, $3.79
The Worst No. 5: Blistex Fruit Smoothies, $3.79TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 5.6*
Why: The fact that Blistex made these lip balms just wasn't enough to impress readers, who expected more from a brand that specializes in lip care. One reader writes, "I purchased these because they were made by Blistex, so I expected some moisture! Lip Smackers are cheaper so save your money!" Another disappointed reader writes, "I tried all of them and at no point did my lips feel any type of relief from being chapped. It was just like I put a scented lip balm on that they make for kids in those crummy little cosmetic play sets."

The Worst No. 4: E.l.f Essential Soothing Lip Balm, $1TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 5.5*
Why: This lip balm ended up in the trashcans of many reviewers. One reader writes, "I didn't really like this one. In fact, I was so unimpressed with it I finally just threw it out without finishing the tube (rare for me, even with products I don't care for). The scent and flavor did not at all match up to what it was supposed to be and I didn't find it to be moisturizing at all." Another reviewer writes, "Completely unimpressive. Not very moisturizing, gross smell, gross flavor. Threw it out. Not recommended." While another adds, "This is a hot mess. It's cheap, greasy, and gross. It does nothing to moisturize lips and it just numbed mine. Seriously, don't buy this."

The Worst No. 3: The Body Shop Mango Lip Butter, $6TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 5.0*
Why: Readers expected a lot from this brand, but were ultimately disappointed by this product. One reader writes, "I'm a huge fan of The Body Shop and the mango line, so I was excited to try out this lip butter because the body version is a dream. I was very disappointed, as the other reviewers have mentioned the product gradually turns very waxy and grimy feeling. It just doesn't have that nice smooth feel and instead feels like I have crumbs stuck to my mouth. It also has this slightly opaque whiteness to it, which makes your lips look odd. And the smell ... sigh. I love the smell of the other mango products in the line, but this just smelled totally different!"

The Worst No. 2: Nivea A Kiss of Shimmer Radiant Lip Care SPF 10, $2.79TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 4.8*
Why: Readers were unpleasantly surprised to find this lip balm does not do much for lips. If you're looking for a true lip balm, you're looking in the wrong place. One reader explains, "The pink frost is a great color, but if you are looking for moisture, prepare to be disappointed! I have to reapply about every hour. I will not be re-buying this." Another disappointed reviewer says, "It's not very great for chapped lips. It doesn't moisturize very well and the frosted pink color tends to accumulate on rough patches."

The Worst No. 1: L'Oreal Paris True Match Gentle Lip Conditioner, $2.70TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 3.4*
Why: The majority of readers agree this lip conditioner was just one big mess. One reader writes, "I had to return this product because I couldn't stand the smell. Had this flour/yeasty smell. The product amount is hard to control and too much always came out, which made a mess in the cap. The appearance of my lips was nothing special, just looked like I had a layer of grease on my lips. Horrible!" Another adds, "This is a disappointment! The packaging is horrible, it smells and tastes awful and I didn't get much in the way of conditioning either."

The Best No. 7: Clinique Superbalm Lip Treatment, $13.50TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.2*
Why it's great: Readers love the unique qualities of this superbalm. One fan writes, "I'm not one to even care about lip balm, because they're all pretty much the same. But this one is crazy good. It gives an extremely unique shine also, that I haven't found in any other lip balm or lip gloss." Others love to use this as nighttime treatment. One such fan says, "I use this every night before bed and whenever I need extra moisture (especially during the winter months). It goes on smoothly and stays on all night long. My lips feel amazing when I get up and I rarely ever get chapped or peeling lips which is something I have battled for years."

The Best No. 6: Blistex Lip Medex, $1.29TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.2*
Why it's great: The instant relief this lip balm brings to painful, chapped lips had readers hooked after one use. One fan writes, "This is wonderful for severely cracked lips. When regular Chapstick just doesn't cut it anymore, I use this. Slather it really thick before bed and wake up with soft, lush lips that are no longer painful or peeling. Love the tingling sensation from the menthol too." Another writes, "This is the best out there. When your lips need some TLC, this stuff will help. You can actually feel it working on your dry lips. And if you feel a cold sore coming on, this stuff will kick it too."

The Best No. 5: C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve, $5.50TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.3*
Why it's great: When it comes to this cult favorite, readers agree you should definitely believe the hype. "After finally giving in and buying a tin, I really enjoy this product. It's not sticky, feels very moisturizing, and it smells amaaaazing. My lips look luscious after putting this on." Another reader writes, "C. O. Bigelow's Rose Salve offers more moisture than the average lip balm. It cushions lips beautifully and comfortably, and leaves a flattering rose tint. You won't find yourself needing to continually reapply." One reader adds, "This product has been around for ages and there is a reason why. It WORKS! I love this stuff, it glides on so well, its not heavy, doesn't feel greasy or icky, and it smells fantastic!"

The Best No. 4: Laura Mercier Lip Balm, $20TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.5*
Why it's great: One reader explains, "I can't believe I am just now discovering this miracle product! Lipgloss, lip balm, lipstick -- you name it, I've tried it ... or at least I thought! This is THE BEST lip balm I've tried. It's sheer and adds the perfect amount of moisture and softness. Perfect for under OR over lipstick. It also gives a nice sheen to bare lips for that perfect soft nude look. The only drawback: it's addicting! You'll never want to be without it!" Another reviewer writes, "When I discovered this product, it was instant love! A long-time fan of natural-looking cosmetics, this is a great take-everywhere balm that I use all day, alone or on top of lipstick for extra shine. When I restock, I'll probably buy several -- for work, for my purse, and for home use. It's a little pricey for a balm, but well worth it."

The Best No. 3: LaRocca Shield Multi-Active Lip Balm, $15TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.6*
Why it's great: From the applicator to the texture, reviewers had many positive things to say about this lip balm. One reader writes, "I've tried so many lip balms but I like everything about LaRocca's! It has a nice texture, and I especially like the built in applicator, because I hate sticking my finger into pots, then smearing product onto my lips! It's instantly soothing with a pleasant light scent. Your lips will feel immediately smooth, I love it!" Another fan writes, "I love all of the LaRocca products and their lip shield is no different! It moisturizes without feeling greasy and it also has sun protection. The best thing about the product is that it makes your lips feel great and look great! I give this product a 10-plus!"

The Best No. 2: Smith's Minted Rose Balm, $7TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.8*
Why it's great: Readers are literally hooked on this crowd-pleasing lip balm that not only made new fans, but surprised faithful users of the original verison. One reader explains, "I keep tins of this everywhere -- at work, at home, in my purse ... I tried the regular balm first and loved it, but when I first dipped my finger in the minted version I was hooked. Nothing better." Another reader writes, "This product is sooo darn good that I just can't see putting anything else on my lips. I also put it on my hands when they are really dry during the winter. So good."

The Best No. 1: Beecology Lemon Lavender Lip Balm, $2.99TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 10*
Why it's great: Reviewers were hard pressed to find anything negative to say about this lip balm. One writes, "Lavender and Lemon! Need I say more? Relaxing and invigorating on top of an already great lip balm. It mends chapped lips so quickly it's got my vote as better than Burt's [Bees]! Stays on your lips all day making it a great bang for your buck." Even men love it! "I see most of the reviews are from women so I want to give a guys point of view -- especially since this product is with lavender -- a scent typically for women," one reader writes. "I love this lip balm. It is refreshing, glides on smoothly and makes my lips feel great! Guys, don't be afraid to try this."

The very best lip balm is Cocoa Butter Lip Balm by "Cococare! The cost is only $1.99 at any beauty supply store. It is rich and creamy and repaired my slightly dry lips over night... and I've tried all those mentioned above.

I might try the Rose Salve and Beecology based on this, but I'm very disappointed that Burt's Bees -- my staple -- isn't mentioned.

But, speaking to calciomercato.it, Ban insists that a deal for the teenage centre-back isn't close, saying: "At a certain point, Dinamo raised their demand whilst Roma wouldn't improve theirs.
"Meanwhile, clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham have called Dinamo and they are dealing with them.
"Would I say Roma are out of the game? In football you never know, anything can still happen."

Yes, my plan is to use a 35 REM barrel. I'm getting the tools together before I get a barrel.Originally Posted by 1biggun
9mm is going to be *slightly* different in size by a few thousandths of an inch, and therefore I'm not sure how it would match with a .358 barrel. I'll hafta ask my dad the reloading master about that!what about some thing like the 1.5"-08 (shortened 308 case) but with a 9mm bullet?
Yeah I've heard about that 358 Win before, it seems to be along the same lines as what I'm working on, but I think using a 308 donor case instead of 7.62x39? I guess you could say the 9x39 is a lighter-powered copy. The 9x39 was designed from the beginning as a subsonic round, and fulfills a specific duty of suppressed cover fire, CQB and urban combat duty. I think the lighter recoil and potentially subsonic performance of the 9x39 wildcat would make it meet those same goals. I'm thinking a home defense / CQB / brush gun application, reaching out to *MAYBE* 200 yards tops. Back home in OK my dad & bro can use high-power rifles all day long, so they'll probably be the first to go hunting with it - going to be a family affair!the 358 win is based on a 308 case a gun I am going to build as soon as I get the 308 conversion done http://www.chuckhawks.com/358Win.htm . It would have more case capacity than the 39mm as well. I know that there was a bunch of wildcats built around the 1.5-08. and would not be suprised if it did not already exist.

There are elements in various mmo's we ve seen that were adding points to game's values in one way or another. Well structured open world pvp,well organized and build up pve, challenging gameplay,there themepark elements,sandbox elements,three faction pvp, rich diplomatic agenda,deep crafting systems for many and varying proffesions,build your own house,build guild's fortresss and build various buildings in it to enstrength its defence,wallls towers buy npc guards for it, deep roleplaying world ,with players actions affecting the world around it,etc etc etc
What im curious about is how come we havent seen one mmorpg so far that has everything in it. I mean lets think about it. if i was a developer i would like the game i make to be intresting,addictivewith good gameplay in it and have everything i could put in to make sure it gives the feel its real..something like a medieval fantasy simulator world/realm.I could try to make something that it has the magic in it. And ofc for financial reasons as a dev id like to get as many sales/subs from it so i can have max profit.
How i do that? i put every element that all types of players like.
Things that Themepark fans love areas that they can pve without afraid of getting ganged,arenas for fair pvp aka wow and tournaments aka m&b warband where players can visit on specific day and time om cities to declare participations for fame and fortune and/or to win titles,raid prggresion pve daily dungeons and quests etc etc
Things that hardcore players would like. Specific dungeons harder than others with better drops but with chance of permadeath (only in these specific dungeons) for the addrenaline bursters,specific areas where killling ganging corpse looting items is possible for the ones that willlingly want to visit and match their balls, and every thing we may saw so far from games in this catagory.
Things that sandboxers love.Free world to explore,occupy,build houses and clan keeps, rich mining,foreaging,harvesting ,crafting, a really huge world to explorew with rewarding adventuring,find hdeen ancient ruins keeps that only afew players will ever find (hard to spot due entrances to observation/tracking succesfull or not hidden dice-roll desided) etc etc etc
Really deep character build up with skills abilities feats and many talent trees all along to be earned and progress with the ability to choose class ,multiclass like in ddo or rift,or start without class if the player wants by chossing the things he like custom like like it happens in oblivion/morrowind) all these options given to the player when he starts a new toon.
I understand that some mmos are starting to go to this direction (archeage) and some othersbut even those have only a few of the elemnts i mentioned above.Not all . Why? Is there a reason? And why those games didnt appear in the past also? Dont devs want to create and deliver a complete product? Just thoughts....

devs like to make easy money... so they just make wow clones and people seem to eat them up..
When people stop buying wow clones the devs will have to re-think.. but until that happens im pretty sure nearly all AAA MMORPGs will be WoW clones..
Ah i really hate the world WOW clones as WOW just copied other games but you get my point..
but even after that you wont be able to please everyone..

I wonder if its technically not possible to include all this content on a grand scale in one game. Add to that the server load for players online and participating in these varied activities. I have no idea but im wondering if it would bring the game to a grinding halt...
It seems likely that developers continue on with the same themes in content because its easier, cheaper (SWTOR aside), can appeal to a broader range of players AND can garner the most bucks because of its broad appeal. When you add a ton of varied content this could require a higher range of player pc to handle the load. Just a thought.

No such thing like an mmorpg for everyone's taste.
Mainstream mmorpg devs tried to make mmorpg like that for past 7 years, after WoW's success. (which won't happen again).
It just does not work.
Especially now after mmorpg market has matured a bit and most potential consumers already played at least 1 mmorpg.
Those people already have at least minimal preferences, so there are things that they liek and that they don't.
Imo way to go is to create mmorpg that cater to 2-3 niches at same time, instead of doing an mmorpg that will try to be "for everyone" and universally acclaimed <-- it usually result in mmorpg that is very solo + instance running based.
Market is oversaturated with that kind of gameplay so players looking for that kind of gameplay either play WoW or hop between dozens of similar games.
If devs want to have loyal, long-term playerbase then they need to do more differentiated mmorpg's that for sure won't be liked by parts of potential playerbase.
It is either "attractive to very wide playerbase but lose huge % of it fast" or "attractive to smaller playerbase but won't lose so much players and have them 'hooked' for longer".
Well that or just develop / gamble on making mmofps, mmorts or some mmo but no mmorpg and try to tap into 'fresh market' and playerbase that can still play a game going on big compromises.
Many of devs will do that and good. Actually less mmorpg titles, but more thought out and innovative would be better for genre.

Its expensive.
Each feature that you mention costs money, often a lot of money, to develop. The more features, the more expensive. Imagine adding the cost of developing several MMOs together to find the final cost of your, "please everyone," MMO. So, maybe somewhere in the two to four times as much to develop, without any assurance that it would produce revenue at the same increased rate.
Selling an investor on, "we are going to spend two or three times as much money as anyone else does developing an MMO," is likely to be very difficult.
When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done.

They did appear in the early years, they were called Star Wars: Galaxies and Eve Online.
The problem with these games is that they were inherently profitable in the long run.
Long run games are literally built so that the players can do whatever the hell they wished, they were not obligated to a track of missions that pertained to their level nor were they tide to a single role via class system.
They were not built for instant money bang, well, Galaxies kind of was but not really since MMO concepts were in their youth in the early years.
Most companies want the instant money, which is why you see an endless string of MMORPG's with the same f'ing class systems over and over again. But it only worked for one IP which was World of Warcraft.
WoW is a phenomenon, it was never intended to be the long run game we see it as today. It's completely opposite of what a sandbox is suppose to be, and still lacks quite a few features one would expect from such a monster. They still have not made any housing developments for this game after so many years.
Any long run game that attempts the WoW formula will fall flat, Star Wars Galaxies is a testiment to that. This is why you see so many MMORPG's and WoW-esque clones in the years following WoW's launch, all of which lack many of the features one would see in a game like Eve or SWG.
But then you have a case like Eve Online where the company intentionally plays the long ball and doesn't try to grab a quick buck. I don't think there is any other company apart from maybe NCSoft trying to play the long ball at the moment.

It'd love to understand where that confusion between "sandbox" and "FFA PvP" comes from...

To expand on that, different players want the best gear to come from different activities. You can't please them all at once in the same game.
I'll give some other examples of why the original poster's proposal can't work. Some players want a huge amount of progression, so that they get a lot stronger as they go. Others want to be able to just play the game without having to worry about leveling up. How do you satisfy both at once?
Some players want to be able to kill any players they come across and steal their gear. Others want to be safe from non-consensual PVP and be able to do whatever they want without having to fear being ganked. How do you please both at once?

Loved UO though.
At long-ball = possibly XL Games with ArcheAge.
Kinda heavy on themepark element, but still feel like game intended from ground up to be 'long-ball' project.

I don't see any reason why a game should aspire to appeal to everybody. The market is sufficient enough to develop content that appeals to different players' tastes. People who like what TOR has to offer are playing TOR. People who like TSW's setting will play TSW. And so on. Certainly developers are not doing as good a job at capturing segments of the market as they should (people who categorize themselves as hardcore sandbox and/or pvp players for example), but that's neither here nor there when it comes to making a "universally appealing" game.
And really, I think the different strokes for different folks approach to market diversity is okay. The idea that a game has to have everybody playing it to be successful has arguably held the industry back long enough. From a gamer's standpoint, success or failure should be judged on whether a game sufficiently appeals to the audience it was trying to capture, not on whether it can sell X number of boxes and generate Y number of subs. more than some arbitrary standard.
That said, it would be interesting to see a game that tried to offer genuinely diverse gameplay and how that could be made to work....
Just brainstorming here:
Something for everybody probably requires "realms" with vastly different sets of rules and objectives and progress that is specific to a given type of gameplay.
What I'm imagining is a huge social lobby from where players can go off to different worlds and do their thing. Gear would be tied to the individual worlds, so earning gear in "quest & raid world" will not allow you to step into "24/7 open battleground world" with your raid gear and pwn peeps (though a pvp version of quest & raid world would allow players to pvp in their pve-acquired gear). When you die in "24/7 open battelground world" perhaps you die and lose your pvp rank and gear and have to start over from rank 1 (effectively permadeath...in that world).
You could even justify this lorewise by using an "Avatar" approach (the movie, not the cartoon), where the player character takes over the body of an inhabitant of the world he's traveling to. On some worlds the god of resurrection or advanced medical technology or whatever can resurrect your avatar...on other worlds you're SOL.
DIfferent dimensions/futures of the same world would seem to be the most feasible since the same resources could basically be reused. The premise would be that different outcomes from some key period in the world's history have created these different futures. Your character is part of the "police force" tasked with setting things in these other dimensions to right.
IMO that approach is probably the least controversial in the sense that people who only want to play one style of play won't feel obligated to explore different worlds to explore the "rest of the game" since most of the terrain and NPCs would be the same ... it would only be the way they were utilized that was different. On the other hand, different worlds or times would encourage players to explore parts of the game they wouldn't normally play, enabling them to get more out of the game. There is always a tradeoff.
The metagame would be driven by improving your titles, housing, and vanity item quantity/quality in the lobby space as you obtain lobby-space rewards for your accomplishments in the various gameplay worlds.

SWG and EVE do NOT give meaningful PVE content on par with a themepark. Running the same mission over n over isnt the same as visiting a plethora of areas with a different feel to each.
Uncle Owen types want to control the loot distribution
PVE folks want to adventure for their loot, and not be forced to rebuy the same things from Owen
PVP want to hunt the prior 2 mentioned groups.
There is no way to make a game to appeal to all IMO.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.

ICBA Calls for Congressional Hearings on Systemic Risk Inherent in Megabank Mergers
Washington, D.C. (Feb. 25, 2004) - Yesterday Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan called not only for a new regulatory structure over the three housing GSEs, but also for congressionally imposed constraints on the growth of their debt and portfolios. Chairman Greenspan pointed to future systemic risk problems if such actions weren't taken.
In today's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, Fannie Mae Chairman and CEO Franklin D. Raines appropriately noted that the largest banking companies in the United States have grown "at a similar rate in a combination of mergers and internal organic growth" as the housing GSEs. Raines noted that "the three largest bank holding companies will have grown by 585 percent since the early 1990s."
Raines, a former highly successful budget chief of the United States, also pointed out that "if Fannie Mae were to stop guaranteeing and investing in mortgages, the credit and interest rate risk inherent in mortgages would not go away. Instead, these risks would have to be borne by other institutions, primarily banks and thrifts," leading to higher risks for taxpayers.
It is equally clear that some of the risk would move into the three largest banking institutions, which already pose systemic risks to our financial system. Former Federal Reserve Board Governor Larry Meyer warned of the growing systemic risk of the large complex banking organizations in early 2000, and Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Gary Stern also has alluded to this recently.
In turn, the recent indictment of former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling, who was in the chain of command when large U.S. banks played a role in creating off-shore debt funding mechanisms that led to the collapse of Enron, raises ongoing serious questions about the adequacy of the supervision and regulation of our nation's largest banks.
Pending before the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are two applications for megabank mergers — the Bank of America-FleetBoston Financial merger and the J.P. Morgan Chase-Bank One merger. Approval of these mergers would build more systemic risk into the banking system, as the privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as advocated by Chairman Greenspan, would transfer risk to these institutions.
The ICBA calls on the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee to conduct prompt oversight hearings of these mergers focusing on the adequacy of regulation and supervision of the nation's largest banks and their growing systemic risk to our financial system and economy.

Georgetown City Council on Tuesday approved more than $54,000 worth of Accommodations Tax fund requests from 10 organizations.
The city's A-Tax Committee met last week and was presented with more than $189,000 worth of requests which they cut to the $54,000 list that was presented to council.
Most of the requests passed without any discussion from council. The two exceptions were a request for $5,000 from the Georgetown Bulldog Booster Club and $3,000 the Georgetown Business Association was seeking.
Councilmen Brendon Barber, who works in the school district and is a former Georgetown High basketball coach, was concerned about the Booster Club request.
That money, the organization says, will be used to advertise the 24th annual International Paper Baseball Classic in March and to fund a free shuttle service from local hotels to Mike Johnson Park, where the tournament takes place.
"We have to be fair to all teams, girls and boys. This money would all go to the baseball team. This would not be fair to the girls and the other sports teams. I don't feel the parents would appreciate that," Barber said.
Barber said when he was a coach he had to hold special events to raise money for equipment and other expenses.
City Finance Director Debra Bivens explained A-Tax funds can only be used for advertising and other tourist-related services and not equipment.
She said the IP Classic brings a lot of visitors to Georgetown who spend a lot of money. She also said the city has given the Booster Club A-Tax funds for the tournament in the past.
Council member Jeanette Ard said the other sports organizations need to be informed about the process for applying to A-Tax funds but, the request from the Booster Club needed to be granted since they went through the proper channels. The GBA was asking for $3,000 to redesign the organization's website.
They intend to keep the domain name www.seaportgeorgetown.com and expand access to mobile devices, according to information from the A-Tax Committee.
Funds will be used for design, set up, hosting fees and monthly maintenance of the site. GBA President Al Joseph said the organization will own the domain.
"The site will primarily be a marketing and advertising tool, we will list shops, restaurants, attractions and historical sites. There will be one page for membership and information about the GBA, the same as there is now. The vast majority of the site will be dedicated to the City of Georgetown and its features and attractions. We look at the website as a marketing tool for the city," Joseph said.
Councilman Rudolph Bradley asked why the GBA was receiving funds when the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce was also being allocated $5,700. He said he did not feel both needed to be given money to promote the city.
"What will the GBA do different from the Chamber? Remember, when the GBA had the opportunity to advertise Georgetown, they backed out," Bradley said.
In the end, the vote to approve the A-Tax fund requests passed unanimously.
The requests approved are:
• Susan Doyle/Atlantis Design and Photography: $5,821 for the website www.historicgeorgetownsc.com.
• Friends of the Kaminski House: $3,000 to develop a tourism website.
• Georgetown Bridge 2 Bridge Half Marathon Committee: $5,000 to advertise the 2014 event.
• Georgetown County Historical Society: $7,000 for advertising the 2014 Winyah Bay Heritage Festival and for fees charged by S.C. Duck Dogs, S.C. Duck Calling and Birds of Prey.
• Georgetown County Museum: $4,300 for advertising and equipment for the new Broad Street facility.
• Harbor Historical Association: $3,315 for exhibits in the Maritime Museum and $5,685 for promotion of the 2014 Wooden Boat Show.
• Swamp Fox Players: $1,600 for advertising.
• Winyah Auditorium: $5,000 for the upcoming season of events.

text: A Raleigh County man has been arrested and charged with making terrorist act threats to a student at Sherman High School.David Henry Linville, 26, of Shady Spring, was arrested Wednesday evening in Beckley by the Boone County Sheriffs Department. Linville was taken into custody and charged with Threats of a Terrorist Act, a felony punishable by not less than one (1) or no more than three (3) years in prison. He was arraigned in front of a Raleigh County magistrate and released on bond this morning.According to investigators, the incident occurred Monday evening, as a threat relayed from Linville to an unnamed student at Sherman High School. The threat was to relive the Newtown shooting and was specific to Sherman High School, according to a press release from Boone County Chief Deputy Chad Barker. The communications took place on a social media site and were very specific and disturbing. The student brought the threats to the attention of the staff at the school on Tuesday, who immediately contacted the Deputy Sheriff who is stationed at the school. Investigators spent the latter part of Tuesday trying to identify Mr. Linville, according to Barker.Once Linville was identified and located, he was tracked down by deputies in Raleigh County early Wednesday morning, Barker said.Barker said investigators with the Boone County Sheriff's Office then traveled to Raleigh County to interview Linville. Also, while there deputies were able to make the arrest and serve a search warrant at Mr. Linville's residence to collect evidence of the crime, according to Barker.Schools in the Big Coal River area of Boone County were running on a modified schedule for the first part of the school day on Wednesday, because of the incident, Barker explained. The Boone County Sheriff's Office worked very closely with the Board of Education and the staff at Sherman High School to ensure the proper steps was taken to keep everyone safe. Sherman High School was on a modified lockdown during the time Wednesday morning with a police presence while Linville was being located. Other schools in the area were placed in modified status only as a precaution. The threat was very specific to one school and that threat was addressed immediately.The investigation and swift action was made possible with a combined effort from the Boone County Sheriff's Office, Raleigh County Sheriff's Office, Boone County Board of Education, Boone County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, Staff and Administration at Sherman High School and the FBI, Barker said. We would like to thank the teachers, parents and students who may have been inconvenienced in any way Wednesday morning. With their cooperation, we feel the investigation was a success."Threats like this are taken very seriously and will not be tolerated, said Boone County Sheriff Randall White. Safety of our school children is our number one priority and we will not allow anyone to compromise that.Please note that if we felt the situation was not in hand, students would not have been allowed at school Wednesday morning, Barker added.

iPhone holds highest retention rate over competing smartphone makers
A new UBS survey suggests Apple currently holds the top spot in smartphone retention rates by a long shot, holding a strong 89% rating over the nearest hardware competitor HTC at just 39%. Apple also had no trouble beating out the Android platform in general, although being a platform gave Google an added "stickiness" of around 60% retention among consumers.
Despite Android holding a higher rate than most other hardware manufacturers in this space, roughly 31 percent of current Android device owners are planning on jumping ship to the iPhone as their next purchase.
UBS also noted that the app catalog for platforms has had limited importance in the determining factors involved when consumers choose their next smartphone. That really says something about the iPhone 4 specifically, of which the hardware is over a year old yet still continues to beat out the newest, cutting edge smarthphone offerings.

iPhone holds highest retention rate over competing smartphone makers
In other news, people who prefer vanilla ice cream over other flavors have a higher chance of buying vanilla ice cream instead of trying other flavors.
What gets me about these studies is they just don't go deep enough and don't really pinpoint the real issue, as either side skews them to their favor. When you have a platform that is too hard to use for average people, has too many problems and breakdowns, and is too easy for hackers to get into you wonder why MORE android users than 45% are not planning on dumping it soon (according to the survey). I'm suprised its not more like 75%. I mean, its really THAT BAD. I'm just thinking either too many people either don't want Apple, don't want to follow the trend, or don't know that iOS is so much better and just live with what they got. Sad. Very sad.
it's funny how all android fans poll all apple web blogs cause they know when the iphone 5 drops they are gonna sell 30 million units the 1st month and while your grasping your galaxy sII thinking its the shit cause it has a faster processor you will soon in 6 months be getting a warranty piece of shit cause your phone is a piece of shit!!!
lol apple fans continue to believe anything..
I believe Android fans have already conquered everything and solved the mysteries of the universe and therefore the only question left now is "Why anyone would lock themselves in to an iphone/ipad product when there is obviously a better choice available." Reality TV show and Apple product popularity continue to show how little the Human race has evolved.
And yet you continue to resort to personal attacks, still believing every pretty graph you see - proving exactly what I said before.
OH that's right I forgot that's the word (troll) people use to call people when they can't come up with an intelligent response.. It's the modern day "I know you are, what am I response.." - That's cool - enjoy your pretty graphs and believing in your products because that's what you read makes you a better, smarter, more wealthy person.. ENJOY!
i have a iphone 4 and a gs2 and they are both great devices...i dont find one harder to use than the other...agree the apps are better on iphone but android is most certainly catching up...hardware wise,the iphone is better design but the gs2 is just a speed monster and is faster than the iphone in everyway...my point is that all these people who say android is complicated or is slow etc either is just a fanboy and sees nothing but apple and never used a android phone or have but used one of those shitty android phones with old software...if you actually use a phone like the gs2 spec with the latest software then you will see how good android is....also lol at the people who keep on saying you have a android because you cant afford iphone...thats just shows how childish some apple fanboys are...gs2 sim free is £499 maximum and if you look aroun can get it cheaper...iphone 4 is about £530 and can get maybe lower if you look arounf....just shows that apple overcharge and no wonder they have a large cash reserve and also shows that android is a cheap iphone is just childish apple fanboys comment who have yet to hit puberty...
Actually, almost all phones have a one click root method released within about a month. IE you install a app on your PC, then connect your phone, hit a button and you're rooted.
Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know a lot approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few percent to drive the message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

Round Robin: Questions About the Google Android G1?
Obviously their apps are tied into Google but have you found the phone productive at all? I mean is there a document/spreadsheet editor, or alarms for tasks? What are the calendar views like compared to the iPhones PIM? What about foreign language support like the iPhone has built in, specifically Asian languages. These are deal breakers for me so please elaborate on the productivity side of things.
If I didn't like the iPhone so much I would get the g1 for sure.
How easy is it to buy and download apps from the android store. With the iphone, you can do it fairly quickly, especially from the phone.
Also, how do you think the swinging hinge will hold over time(long term)? You refer to the word 'creaky'.
The device has too many methods of input, and it is unclear as to which you need to use. Will android be on other phones and allow for less confusing methods of input? Ex) iPhone is all touch. Some are buttons and touch. Keyboard + buttons + touch + trackball = too much to handle.
Also, what are the options, if any, if you want to back-up the device?
Is there a software keyboard?
i deserve to win
Whats the internet speed like compared to the Iphone and(if it has WiFi) how does that compare.
I can't imagine the G1 being more intuitive than the iPhone, but I wonder if my 3 year old nephew would enjoy using it as much as my iPhone. My nephew picked up my iphone and new immediately how to access the Halloween applications I downloaded for him. Would that be possible with the G1? I doubt it. I also bet cleaning the slobber and snot off the qwerty board would be more of an issue with the G1 also.
royk, as a G1 user and a iPod touch user, I'd say 1) I think the G1 needs the Android store to have a web-based interface like the iTunes store. I can "see" my iPod apps on my PC AND on my device. So far, I only see real interface with Android Market on my phone. Maybe I'm missing something. Also, updates to apps are automatic and clear on my iPod. I don't know if the Android Market even will notify me if there's an update. 2) I think the iPhone needs it's user community to be more open minded and less dogmatic.
The g1 is ok, but with some practice, google will make the
G5 unbeatable
Yea the n95 is good.
I mean n
iPhone rulz.
Entry #50. I really hope I win.

June 8, 2009 -- For people with diabetes and stable heart disease, drug therapy works just as well as immediate bypass surgery or angioplasty to open clogged arteries, a study suggests.
The results show that such patients were no more likely to die or to have a heart attack or stroke over a five-year period if they took medications to control blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels than if they underwent prompt bypass surgery or angioplasty with or without stents.
But for some patients, immediate bypass surgery may cut the risk of heart attacks, the study shows.
Results also suggest that diabetes drugs that lower the body's resistance to insulin, such as metformin, Avandia, and Actos, work just as well and are just as safe as drugs that increase the amount of insulin in the body.
"This should provide reassurance to patients," since some studies have suggested that drugs like Avandia may be harmful to the heart, says researcher Trevor Orchard, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.
The study was presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 69th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The results do not apply to people who get bypass surgery or angioplasty because they are in the midst of a heart attack or whose chest pain or other symptoms suddenly gets worse, doctors stress. For them, prompt intervention to open or bypass clogged arteries is a proven lifesaver.
Comparing Drug Therapy and Surgery
Two years ago, another study showed that angioplasty plus stents are no better than drug treatment at preventing heart attacks and death in people who do not have diabetes.
The new study aimed to find the best way to treat people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which Orchard calls "the deadly duo."
More than 20 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, which involves the body's inability to properly use its own insulin and occurs mainly in adults who are overweight and 40 and older. More than 65% of deaths in people with diabetes are due to heart disease or stroke.
The study involved 2,368 patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease who were under a doctor's care to control their cholesterol and blood pressure.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive drug therapy plus undergo prompt bypass surgery or angioplasty (with or without stents) to open blocked arteries, or to receive drug therapy alone. Then, they were randomly assigned to one of two strategies to control blood sugar: insulin-providing drugs like insulin injections or sulfonylureas that increase the body's production of insulin, or insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin or a class of drugs known as glitazones, which includes Avandia and Actos.
Orchard stresses that the study was not a comparison between angioplasty and bypass surgery, but rather a comparison between a prompt procedure and medical therapy alone.
Among the findings:
- A total of 88.3% of people who got angioplasty or bypass were alive five years later, compared with 87.8% who got drug treatment, a difference so small it was due to chance.
- There was no significant difference in the five-year survival rate among people who got insulin-providing drugs (87.9%) and those who received insulin-sensitizing drugs (88.2%).
- The five-year rate of heart attacks, strokes, and death was similar among patients who received angioplasty, with our without stents, and those who received drug therapy alone.
- The five-year rate of heart attacks, strokes, and death was significantly lower among patients who received bypass surgery (22.4%), compared with those who received drug therapy alone (30.5%). This benefit was largely driven by a reduction in heart attacks in patients who were treated with insulin-sensitizing drugs, Orchard tells WebMD.
- Adverse events were generally similar among patients who received insulin-providing and insulin-sensitizing diabetes drugs, "although there seemed to be a little less weight gain and hypoglycemia" among those who took insulin-sensitizing agents, he adds.
Getting Care From a Team of Doctors
Richard Bergenstal, MD, president-elect of medicine and science at the ADA and executive director of the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis, Minn., says the study shows that aggressive and simultaneous management of blood pressure, bloodcholesterol, and blood sugar works.
His advice to people with diabetes: "Be sure you work with a team of doctors who address all three of these factors. The team should include not just a diabetes doctor, but a primary care physician and heart doctor."
Also, be sure to tell your doctor about any new symptoms such as chest pain or breathlessness, so the physician can ensure you get bypass surgery if needed, Bergenstal tells WebMD.
Many people with diabetes do not suffer the typical chest pain of angina, says researcher Robert Frye, MD, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "Unusual breathlessness may be the only symptom," he says.

|Cast iron cross marking grave of Michael Pereksta
Last month I wrote about all the newspaper reports of unnamed "Hungarians" killed in slate mining accidents in the late 19th and early 20th century. I came across the articles while looking for information on Michael Pereksta, who was reported to be my grandmother's cousin.
Today I am, thanks to the kind assistance of the Slate Valley Museum and their volunteer extraordinaire John Jones, able to pinpoint the date and cause of his death, and to share photographs of his grave marker.
He did die in a mining accident as we'd been told. John found two small news articles in local papers reporting the accident, though again omitting his name.
I shall write more about his life, death and the help I received from John and the Slate Valley Museum, but today I focus on his burial at the Saint Peter and Paul Byzantine Catholic Cemetery in Granville, NY.

The Chattanooga Mocs (9-14, 3-5 SoCon) volleyball team picked up a 3-2 (25-20, 20-25, 25-21, 14-25, 15-13) Southern Conference win over The Citadel (4-20, 0-8 SoCon) Sunday afternoon.
Freshman Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) was unstoppable on the attack, recording a career-best 27 kills and a .300 hitting percentage in the Mocs win over the Bulldogs. Freshmen Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.) and Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) each finished with double-digit kills, as well, collecting 11 and 10, respectively.
Junior Bridget Camacho (Cumming, Ga.) set up a season-best 58 assists, and Batterton was tough on defense with a block solo and two block assists. Five different Mocs-Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.), Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.), Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.), Camacho and Reid-each finished with double-digits in the digs column.
Chattanooga hit a match-best .300 while The Citadel was held to a .070 hitting percentage in the first set, taking the contest 25-20. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead and stayed the course until the Mocs put a halt to the scoring. Down by two at, Alvarado downed an attack in Bulldog territory to begin a six-point scoring spree. Sophomore Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) contributed with one kill, Alvarado spiked three more kills and a Citadel ball handling error led to an 11-7 Chattanooga lead. After gaining control, UTC cruised to the victory.
The Bulldogs battled back in the second set to take a 25-20 win, despite a .133 UTC hitting percentage, but Chattanooga would regain control of the match with a 25-21 win in the third frame on six Alvarado kills to take a 2-1 lead to the locker room at the intermission.
The Bulldogs came back with a bite in the fourth set, shutting the Chattanooga offense down with a 25-14 win. UTC was dealt a match-low .070 hitting percentage while The Citadel hit a match-best .333 percentage. The Mocs were allowed to score multiple times just twice, scoring on two three-point runs.
Forced to go to a fifth set, Chattanooga capitalized on a 14-11 lead near the end of the stanza. The Citadel nearly topped the Mocs, pulling within one point of UTC, 14-13, but a timeout called by Head Coach Travis Filar settled the team down in order to score the final point. Freshman Lauren Gainer (Boca Raton, Fla.) muzzled the Bulldogs with a kill to score the Mocs the match.
The Mocs return to Maclellan Gym next weekend as Davidson and Georgia Southern come to Chattanooga. UTC entertains the Wildcats Saturday at 2 p.m. and the Eagles Sunday at 3 p.m.

Nine Lives to play the After Play Party at Friday at The FarrWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Nine Lives lead singer Jake Pilewski never pictured himself in a cover band. Turns out it's been one of the most positive musical decisions he's made.
"I got so into the writing that I said, 'You know, I would never be in a cover band. I would rather play a dive bar the rest of my life making chump change a night just as long as I'm playing originals,'" Pilewski said. "Well, then reality sets in, and you start realizing, 'Oh, I've got bills and I've got to do this and I've got to do this.'"
Formerly of local band Highland, which also featured Nine Lives members Mike Toth and Mike Haskins, Pilewski said he didn't consider playing covers an option until he went to a music convention in Harrisburg, Pa., where Fuel vocalist Brett Scallions was speaking.
"At the time he had just left Fuel, and he was telling this story about how Fuel was a big cover band all around Harrisburg, Pa., for years," Pilewski said of Scallions. "And he said in Harrisburg, they were artsy, but still these places were going to hire bands to play what the bar crowd wanted to hear, which was cover music."
That experience, as well as seeing Cincinnati cover band The Menus live at Put-In-Bay, was enough to convince Pilewski to give covers a shot. He and Haskins left Highland nearly three years ago to join Toth in Nine Lives, a move that proved to be fruitful.
It wasn't long before Nine Lives was playing at some of Toledo's bigger bars and events, including fundraisers at The Blarney Irish Pub and Mud Hens' Opening Day.
"It definitely was worth it right off the bat when we started seeing the reaction from people," Pilewski said. "It made the whole decision to start playing cover music a lot easier."
Comprised of Pilewski, drummer Toth, lead guitarist Haskins, Tim Bauer (guitar/piano/sax/harmonica/vocals) and bassist Chad Singleton, Nine Lives will perform on Aug. 10 at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic as part of the tournament's Friday at The Farr festivities.
"We are absolutely stoked," Pilewski said. "That's one of those things that we've heard over the years, like, what a party it is."
Pilewski and Nine Lives are particularly excited to play at the tournament given that it's not their typical venue.
"We love the usual [venues]," Pilewski said. "That's what keeps us going, but it's great to play something completely different because there's kind of a bit of mystery and mystique about the whole thing, that you go in not knowing what to expect."
Part of what has helped Nine Lives find so much local success is its versatility. The band covers everything from 1950s era music to pop, classic rock, blues, dance, country and Top 40 hits.
"Whether they were born in the '50s or they were born in 1989, I mean, we have a little bit of something for everybody," Pilewski said. "They always say, 'You can't make everybody happy,' but we come pretty close to it at least throughout the night, as long as people stick around the whole set."
Friday at the Farr will take place during the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic at Highland Meadows Golf Club, 7455 Erie St., in Sylvania.
Daily tournament tickets start at $15 and are available at the gate or Shawn's Irish Tavern, which is also providing shuttle service on Aug. 10 from its Toledo location, 4400 Heatherdowns Blvd. Weekly tickets are $50 and are available at local Kroger stores. Kids 17 and younger get in free with an adult. More ticket information is available online at jamiefarrtoledoclassic.com.
After the final golfer finishes her round at approximately 7 p.m., Nine Lives will perform at the public pavilion at Highland Meadows as a grand finale to the Friday at The Farr festivities.

This was submitted by Bob K, President of Discount Ramps.
I am Bob K, (president of Discount Ramps), an avid bow hunter and outdoorsman. A dream of mine has always been to take a bow hunting trip out West for elk. A friend and I got a chance to make this dream happen this year. It was a do it yourself archery hunt on public land in Colorado. The tags were available over the counter to anyone so we new this would be a tough hunt because of the amount of people that use these public lands and the pressure it gets. Marty Williams, the owner of Lets Go Aero and a supplier of Discount Ramps, lives in Colorado Springs and is also an avid hunter agreed to show us some of the hot spots in South Central Colorado that he has hunted for the past 10 years. I was very grateful that Marty agreed to help out as I would have no clue where to start out in the huge state of CO. After a 17 hour drive we made it to Colorado Springs and stayed at Marty's house. We work with Lets Go Aero via phone calls and emails but it was really nice to finally meet Marty and his wife and business partner Sara in person. Marty and Sara were kind enough to cook us a nice steak dinner the evening we arrived. We discussed our hunting plans, business and new product ideas that Marty had and then off to bed for another 5 hour drive to camp in the morning.
After a total of 23 hours in the truck, we finally made it to our destination and set up camp. It took my friend and I over an hour to set up our outfitter tent. Marty brought along a slick new product of his called the GearWagon 125 (coming soon to Discount Ramps). We were really impressed that Marty had his camp set up in a matter of 10 minutes including the optional Tentris ArcHaus he brought along with him for a gear storage area.
Although we did not come home with an elk we had a great time and did manage to see some large herds opening weekend. I would like to personally thank Marty and Sara for the hospitality and the time they spent with us to help out. This just goes to show what kind of people run Lets Go Aero. They are kind and always willing to help people out. Thank you!
Thanks sharing that great story Bob!

Team B.O.L.T. Wins a 1st Place Ranking in SFD & NCFD Russian Leagues
Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013
The English in this story is not so good, but the story is fantastic! Our Russian Team B.O.L.T. is now ranked 1st overall in the SFD and NCFD Paintball Leagues.

The second stage of the Cup of Russia in the SFD and the NCFD in Rostov-on-Don – by Team B.O.L.T.
"At the entrance to the venue of the tournament, we felt the excitement.
Already at the entrance to the Rostov city I felt the energy. In the first stage in Pyatigorsk we offensively lost one game and ended up third. But we knew that, thanks to persistent trainings, we are in great shape and can show a much better game and avoid repeating mistakes.
In our division we were first to play, and unfortunately, did not have time to explore the field. The first game showed that knowledge of the area gives a great advantage. Each point for us ended up with a low wing found himself naked, and we could not turn the game around.
In the break between the first and the second game was a technical pause when we have the opportunity to disassemble the playground. After that, things went smoothly.
The second game, B.O.L.T. vs Absinthe, ended 3-0 in our favor.
After winning the second game, and having regained confidence, we began to experiment. We changed the flanks, attacked aggressively, played through the center and eventually advanced to the semifinals with a first place in the group. In the semifinals, we met with the team which in the previous step for us was fatal. Banda team was one of the most experienced teams in this stage. But we do know that our goal is victory, and in the end, showing the aggressive play were able to reach the final. 3:1 The gang was moving on.
In the final, we met with a young team of Krasnodar – Stalker. The guys fought with dignity, but we were better prepared. 2:1 and the Goblet of this step we have taken to Krasnodar."
With this victory, we came in first place overall in its division.
Teams in the tournament:
Molotov light
Our roster:
1. Kukhlev Boris number 23.
2. Alexander Kovalenko number 77.
3. Kovalenko Roman number 8.

Saturday, March 23, 2013
A police officer initiated a traffic stop on a driver who ran a red light. The driver signaled that he was going to stop and pull into a nearby gas station. The driver slowed as if to stop and then turned sharply, according to the police report. The driver flew past the gas pumps and proceeded to burn out in the parking lot and speed off through a stop sign and back onto the highway. The report said the officer continued to follow the suspect. The driver made a sudden left turn and sped down a side road.
The driver suddenly came to a stop. The officer's car was still in motion when the driver stood up from his seat, reached into his front waist band, turned toward the officer and removed a silver handgun and pointed it at the officer's car, according to the report.
The officer stopped his patrol car and the suspect ran off into the woods. He did not stop upon the officer's commands. The officer called for backup and gave responding units a full description of the fleeing suspect.
In the meantime, the passenger was laid out in the abandoned car. He was removed from the vehicle and found to have no weapons on him.
A search of the suspect's vehicle turned up a pill bottle with mixed pills, a baggie of white powder and a baggie of green plant material. Two debit cards with different names were confiscated as well.
The suspect was eventually located and his car was towed.
He was taken to jail and charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol, pointing and presenting firearm, failure to stop for blue lights, driving under suspension 3rd, and simple possession of marijuana. The white powder was sent to the lab for testing. A charge for possession with intent to distribute will be made pending positive ab test results.

WILMINGTON — Barbara Alyn Woods was crowned our 2008 Azalea Festival queen. The coronation drew a large crowd to Riverfront Park. Woods stars on the hit TV show "One Tree Hill," which is filmed here in Wilmington. Some of her co-stars, like Chad Michael Murray, Hillary Burton and Lee Norris are also guest celebrities for the festival. Norris said, "I am so glad to be here, it's my first time to be here at the Azalea Festival, and obviously I've been working on One Tree Hill for some years, and we've grown to love Wilmington so much. I'm proud to call it home and even prouder to have Barbara Alyn Woods as the queen this year." The queen has a busy schedule this week. Among other things she'll be attending the garden tour ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday and she's in the parade on Saturday.

Especially considering the physical risks these guys take. As long as the UFC's financials remain clouded there's always going to be room for criticism for fighter pay. When that criticism comes from the fighters themselves that's something that shouldn't be summarily dismissed.
