Salivary duct stones
Salivary duct stones are deposits of minerals in the ducts that drain the salivary glands. Salivary duct stones are a type of salivary gland disorder.
Alternative Names
Saliva (spit) is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. The chemicals in saliva can form a hard crystal that can block the salivary ducts.
When saliva cannot exit a blocked duct, it backs up into the gland. This may cause pain and swelling of the gland.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands.
- Parotid glands. These are the two largest glands. One is located in each cheek over the jaw in front of the ears. Inflammation of one or more of these glands is called parotitis, or parotiditis.
- Submandibular glands. These two glands located at the back of the mouth on both sides of the jaw.
- Sublingual glands. These two glands are located are under the floor of the mouth.
Salivary stones most often affect the submandibular glands. They can also affect the parotid glands.
- Problems opening the mouth or swallowing
- Dry mouth
- Pain in the face or mouth
- Swelling of the face or neck (can be severe when eating or drinking)
The symptoms occur most often when eating or drinking.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider or dentist will do an exam of your head and neck to look for one or more enlarged, tender salivary glands. The doctor may be able to feel the stone during the exam.
Tests such as x-rays, ultrasound, MRI scan or CT scan of the face are used to confirm the diagnosis.
The goal is to remove the stone.
Steps you can take at home include:
- Drinking lots of water
- Using sugar-free lemon drops to increase the saliva
Other ways to remove the stone are:
- Massaging the gland with heat. The doctor or dentist may be able to push the stone out of the duct.
- In some cases, you may need surgery to cut out the stone.
- A newer treatment that uses shock waves to break the stone into small pieces is another option.
- A new technique called Sialoendoscopy can diagnose and treat stones in the salivary gland duct using miniature cameras and instruments
- If stones become infected or come back often, you may need surgery to remove the salivary gland.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time, salivary duct stones cause only pain or discomfort, and at times become infected.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of salivary duct stones.

Issue 13 of Justice League marks the introduction of Cheetah to the New 52. I must admit that I don't know much about the "original" Cheetah, but this one is a great villian! She is fast and powerful… and a god, which makes her not only a match for Wonder Woman, but Superman and the rest as well. Obviously there was some great action in this issue!
Not only that, but I found the dialogue to be really enjoyable too! The team is final getting tight. In fact, I think this is the closest I've seen them in the New 52 thus far! You can see the friendships. You see who is close to whom, and where the tensions are; All in great dialogue that runs throughout the issue! I also think that this is a great "jumping on" book because of it. They explain everything that is happening of importance, and the new villain's appearance all come together to make this a perfect first issue for someone you have been wanting to get into Justice League.
Tony Daniel is guest artist on this two-issue story. He is awesome on this! My first introduction to his work was Detective Comics #1 and, though the art was good, the writing was not my cup-o-tea and it severely shaded my opinion of him. This just legitimized him as a fantastic artist in my eyes. The way he moves your eyes through the panels is great. And at some panels, I just had to stop reading a stare. (WW and Supes staring across the bridge of the watchtower with earth in the background, for instance)
"On the Outs" back up story by Geoff Johns and Jeff Lemire
This was worth mentioning. There is a great little intro to the new Justice League of America book in the back. I love that Jeff Lemire is working with two of my favorite writers nowadays! He and Geoff give you a great little convo in a bar with Green Arrow and Colonel Trevor. I really like how G.A. is handled here better than in his own book. I am already looking forward to JLA, and this just got me more excited! If you want to read it, here it is. DC released it online, no doubt, to promote the upcoming series.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # CPG0032
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Road Front Derailleurs we have in stock.
Campagnolo Super Record 11 Front Derailleur $0.00
Twenty-two gears is good for the soul.
As you no doubt have noticed, Campagnolo has adorned their Super Record 11 gruppo with new graphics. A casual glance might trick you into believing that the graphics are all they changed; after all, front derailleurs hardly change, ever.
Not true. This Campagnolo Super Record 11 Front Derailleur is different than the 2010 and earlier iterations in a small, yet significant way. Yes, the cages are the same, carbon-outer, aluminum inner, compatible with both compact (110mm bolt circle diameter) and standard (130 and 135mm bcd) chainrings, but the cable pull routing has been changed. The cable now runs in a more direct line from the bottom bracket shell to the pinch bolt. On the last version, you'd bend the cable around the pinch bolt before cinching it. The cable no longer needs to be bent. This speeds up the shifting. Campy front shifting was always fast and easy, but this adds some blazing to the action. And remember that it's designed for 11-speed cranks, chains, and Ultra-Shift ergopower levers, not 10-speed.
The Campagnolo Super Record 11 Front Derailleur can be had in three different ways -- braze-on, 32mm clamp, and 35mm clamp. It can handle a maximum 54 tooth chainring and a maximum large/small ring differential of 16 teeth. The clamp and pivot are Black, the outer cage is Carbon-Fiber, the inner is Brushed Aluminum.

If losing weight and getting in shape top your New Year's resolutions, three new books will help you maximize success. One celebrity chef and two fitness superstars offer diverse plans which all share the foundations of healthy eating and exercise and promise an end result of melting pounds away.
Super Shred: The Big Results Diet by Dr. Ian Smith is a more concentrated program utilizing the principles and building blocks behind Smith's previous bestseller, Shred. Diet confusion, meal replacement, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day will keep metabolism stoked and reduce hunger pangs. This is the program for those looking to get lean fast or those who have had past success on other programs and need a quick refresher. Smith, a co-host of The Doctors, and medical contributor to the Rachael Ray Show, has a strong social media presence and stays connected with his Shredder Nation via Facebook and Twitter.
Celebrity New York chef Rocco DeSpirito offers a lifestyle plan for dieters to lose up to five pounds every five days in The Pound a Day Diet. This Mediterranean style program allows enjoyment of favorite foods while still losing weight. DeSpirito provides alternatives for weekday and weekend dining with healthy recipes for 28 days. He also shares alternatives for those with no time or inclination to cook. The menus are complemented by his 13-week exercise program which outlines calories lost during various exercises.
One of The Biggest Loser's trainers, Dolvett Quince, reveals his method of losing pounds fast without feeling deprived in The 3-1-2-1 Diet: Eat and Cheat Your Way to Weight Loss. Quince focuses on mental fitness so the physical transformation can follow. His clean eating plan must be adhered to for three days, but then it's cheat day! Pizza, ice cream or a glass of wine are all permissible indulgences and these cheat days help satisfy physical and psychological cravings while upping metabolism. Quince's detailed workout regime is all part of his straightforward plan which takes dieters from inception through maintenance.
In September of 1944, in the final year of World War II, a B-24 bomber piloted by Jack Arnett and carrying 10 servicemen plummeted into the western Pacific Ocean near the Micronesian islands of Palau. The wreckage of the plane disappeared, and the men were presumed dead though no bodies were found. Baltimore author Wil S. Hylton examines the quest of the man who worked to unravel the mystery of crash and the fate of the men on board in Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II.
In 1993, middle-aged medical researcher Pat Scannon was a novice scuba diver, so when an invitation came to search for the underwater ruins of a sunken Japanese hospital ship supposedly laden with gold stolen during WWII, he was hesitant to accept. While diving on the trip, Scannon saw a wing of a different submerged American plane and became determined to answer the question of what happened to Arnett's aircraft and crew. He assumed that, due to the massive size of a B-24 bomber, he'd locate the crash site fairly quickly; instead, his detective work spanned more than 10 years.
Hylton documents the details of Scannon's research utilizing books, government documents, archival material and networking with veterans and military contacts. Yet, Vanished is far more than a paper trail. Particularly compelling are the parallel stories of Scannon, the crew members and their families who had been waiting for nearly 60 years for information about the fate of their loved ones. Vanished is a moving account of one man's determination to lay to rest with honor a forgotten crew of our country's airmen.
Dukes frequently appear as heroes in historical romances. These two new novels share that common plot element, but with their strong writing and fresh stories, they are far from clichéd. In Victoria Morgan's The Heart of a Duke, Lady Julia Chandler decides to take matters in her own hands to bring her long-time fiancé, the Duke of Bedford, to the altar. She is tired of being a laughingstock, so she finds him and kisses him, ready to push for a wedding and soon. There's just one problem: she mistakenly kisses his twin brother Daniel, who has just returned from 10 years in America. Daniel came home to find out who set the fire that nearly killed him after receiving a mysterious note from his late father's solicitor that read, "It is time. Come home and claim your destiny." Daniel doesn't want Julia to marry his brother, but his attention may put her in his enemy's crosshairs. Morgan is a talented new voice in historical romance.
No Good Duke Goes Unpunished, the third novel in RITA-winner Sarah MacLean's Rules of Scoundrels quartet, brings us the story of Temple, a duke marked by scandal. He's known as the Killer Duke because 12 years ago, he woke up covered in blood in the bed of his father's beautiful, young fiancée. Everyone presumed that he murdered her, though her body was never found. Now, a notorious fighter and co-owner of the infamous Fallen Angel gaming hell, Temple is stunned when Miss Mara Lowe, the woman he is believed to have murdered, shows up on his doorstep ready to bargain with him. If he forgives her brother's gambling debts, she will show herself in society, proving that he isn't a murderer. MacLean writes sexy historical romance with wit, warmth and a modern sensibility. The book ends with the revelation of a shocking secret about the identity of Chase, the fourth partner in the Fallen Angel. That secret will leave readers desperate to read the final novel in the series!
Soviet Russian cooking may conjure up images of boiled cabbage and overcooked potatoes, but Anya von Bremzen's fascinating food memoir Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing reveals a much more rich and flavorful history as it pertains to Soviet-era dishes. As von Bremzen, a food writer, muses in the prologue: "All happy food memories are alike; all unhappy food memories are unhappy after their own fashion." Following this sentiment, von Bremzen travels between past and present as she and her mother cook and recreate both the supreme and humble food concoctions relational to their homeland's state of being. There's the pre-Bolshevik Revolution richness where dishes boast complex flavors and labor-intensive preparation, the uniformity of Lenin's new Soviet model when blandness and simplicity prevailed, the starvation years of the Stalin- and World War II-eras which lay bare the "recipes" created solely for survival, and the "Thaw" of the 1950s and 1960s when food began to reappear but scarcity still ruled. In the book's final chapter, aptly titled "Putin on the Ritz," the author sees through a 21st century lens the Moscow life of her childhood in all its small pleasures and shortcomings.
Von Bremzen and her mother Larissa emigrated to the U.S. in 1974, but not before Anya had a chance to experience both the deprivations and the decadence of Soviet food distribution, depending on one's connections and/or status as nomenklatura (Communist party appointees). Von Bremzen's writing is at times dense yet always saturated with flavorful layers, much like the kulebiaka, or fish pie, which dominates much of the first chapter with tales of its preparation. At the end are recipes for some of the dishes discussed, one from each decade, so readers can experience firsthand a taste of history. Russophiles and foodies alike shouldn't miss this hidden gem which shows how a country's complex history and its food are intricately connected, and as a result become equally important to its cultural identity.
We don't expect very much from babies. They are supposed to be cute and cuddly but almost everything else has to be done for them. They can't walk, talk, eat without assistance or clean up after themselves. And when one does something ridiculous it's almost natural to say, "Oh, they don't know any better; they're just a baby." But what if, in some ways, they did know better? In his new book Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil, Paul Bloom, professor of psychology at Yale, would argue that they do.
Through his research at Yale and consulting the research of others, Bloom has found that even very small babies as young as three months have a moral compass, a sense of right and wrong, that they use to evaluate the people and the world around them. This sense, acquired at such a young age or perhaps even innate, can influence the moral development of a person through adulthood. But this nascent morality has its limits. Bloom describes how babies and young children are also less compassionate towards strangers and develop cultural biases that can lead to such negative behaviors as bigotry and indifference in the face of suffering.
Though his research is very new and his conclusions contain a fair bit of supposition, Bloom makes a very persuasive argument that our moral development and sense of justice is established at an astonishingly young age, and that it affects us throughout our lives. This is a great pick for those interested in evolutionary biology, psychology, childhood development or the study of ethics.
Do you enjoy a good mystery? Are you fascinated by science and technology? If you answered "yes," then Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab by "Science Bob" Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith is definitely for you. This is the first book in a new series that follow 11-year-old siblings Nick and Tesla as they spend a summer in California with their quirky uncle Newt, an eccentric and somewhat absent-minded inventor.
The twins almost have free range of their uncle's lab in the basement of his home. They build a rocket out of PVC pipe and an empty soda bottle and some other odds and ends they find around the house. Something goes wrong on the rocket's maiden launch. Instead of just going up and back down, the rocket ends up in the yard of a spooky old house. But this is not just any spooky old house. This one is surrounded by a fence and guarded by dogs. Even worse, when the rocket didn't initially take off like they expected, Tesla got too close while checking a seal. The rocket took off with the necklace her parents had given her. Will they be able to retrieve the rocket and Tesla's necklace? Who's the mysterious girl in the creepy house's upstairs window? And why is a black SUV following them wherever they go?
This book is great for kids who have advanced past first chapter books. There are five illustrated experiments that show the reader – with the help of an adult, of course – how to make the gadgets that Nick and Tesla make in the story. A fast-paced adventure novel, Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab is sure to bring out your inner mad-scientist.
Sadness frequently visited Kamala, but seldom was there time to succumb to its undertow. Like the monsoon that wiped out her Bengali village and claimed her family, Kamala's turbulent life was an unpredictable force leading her to reinvent herself over and over. In Sujata Massey's eloquent new historical novel The Sleeping Dictionary, India's struggles to free itself from British imperial rule coalesce with one woman's efforts to become independent even as racial and class barriers stand in the way.
Kamala was not always her name. As a child she was called Pom, born into the lowest caste in India. After a wave destroys her village, the 10-year-old orphan is rescued, embarking on what seems like a lifetime of difficult transitions. Christened Sarah, she is now content as a servant at an all-girls boarding school, where she has her dear friend, Bidushi, and her love of language and books. When she is accused of a theft she did not commit she flees, only to disembark in the wrong city, where a degrading experience awaits. By the time she arrives in Calcutta in search of a reputable position and new identity, she is hiding many secrets from her employer, a kindly British Indian civil service officer who only knows her as Kamala, well-born and well-read.
Massey, whose father was born in Calcutta, calls upon lovely descriptive language and a strong sense of place to evoke the troubled peasant life and colonial society of the 1930s and 1940s Raj India that is the center of Kamala's bumpy journey. With astute social commentary of women's roles and layers of Indian history, culture and language, she creates an authentic voice in Kamala that is as complex as the identities she has assumed. Betrayal, love, espionage and tragedy all find their way into Massey's story. The former Baltimore Sun reporter, best known for her award-winning Rei Shimura mysteries, has more in store for readers with her new Daughters of Bengal series. Here's looking forward to the next one.
From the start, American audiences fell in love with Downton Abbey. The opening notes of the theme song strike a familiar chord and the characters seem like people who we really know. The popular show's fourth season premieres in the U.S. on January 5th on PBS. Following the tragic conclusion to season three, fans are curious as to the fates of the show's beloved characters. Two new books will whet Downtonites' appetites as they watch the drama unfold.
In Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey, Fiona, the Eighth Countess of Carnarvon shares another chapter in the story of the family that lived in Highclere Castle – the real Downton Abbey. American-born Catherine Wendell married Lord Porchester, known as Porchey, in 1922. Soon, he inherited his father's title, Highclere Castle and the debt that came with it. The couple was forced to auction family heirlooms to raise the funds to keep the castle in the family. While successful, the couple eventually divorced. Countess Fiona shares their stories complete with enough scandal, intrigue and drama to warrant a BBC production. The book also highlights the interesting role that Highclere Castle played during World War II, at times making the house a character in this family's story. This is a fascinating look at the period and place that frame the show.
Emma Rowley's Behind the Scenes at Downton Abbey: The Official Backstage Pass to the Set, the Actors and the Drama is a new guide to the show with glossy, never-before-seen photographs. Fans will enjoy photographs of the actors, Highclere Castle, the studio set and the show's sumptuous costumes. The book also includes interviews with the cast, crew and show's creative team. Throughout this magnificent companion book, the show's dedication to historical detail is evident. The cast calls historical advisor Alastair Bruce "The Oracle," and he takes his job seriously. He meticulously studies the historical detail in every element of a scene, from the props, hair and make-up to the actors' body language. This video is a lighthearted look at the effort that goes into the show's historical accuracy.
Never hesitant to state his strong opinion and create controversy, Morrissey has been a lightning rod since he burst onto the scene as The Smiths' frontman in the 1980s. Now, with Autobiography, he sets his record straight on the many phases of his life and recording career. Whether or not you find him a hopelessly depressing poseur or are a longtime fan and follower (there really is little middle ground!), this stream-of-consciousness memoir will be of interest to most anyone who listened to the music of the era.
Starting with his Manchester childhood and school days, the singer outlines his life through memories that are by turns gauzy and pointed. He shows a surprisingly tight relationship with his family, and includes the tragic deaths of relatives and friends, many of which have seemingly affected his songwriting and have haunted him to this day. Much of the book, naturally, focuses on the many people who Morrissey feels have wronged him. The much-heralded rift between him and his Smiths writing partner Johnny Marr is fairly minor compared to the vitriol Morrissey retains for Mike Joyce, former Smiths drummer, and the British judge that ruled in Joyce's favor when it came to recording royalties. The usual suspects such as the English music press, the monarchy, Margaret Thatcher, radio DJs, etc. are also the recipients of his bitterness.
While there are no chapters or other breaks in his memoir, it reads quickly. Regarding his personal life, he doesn't directly address his ambiguous sexuality, and the encounters he has with various celebrities are more interesting than mere name-dropping. He places a focus on the constant touring and the fans more than on his songwriting and records produced. By turns heartbreaking, intriguing, frustrating and peppered with Morrissey's well-known wit, there is no doubt that Autobiography is a product solely his own – no ghostwriters here.
The year 1939 is known as the golden year in Hollywood. Some of the best-known movies in history were introduced to audiences. Gone with the Wind , The Wizard of Oz , Dark Victory , Stagecoach and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington are just a few of these notable films. As the 75th anniversary of that landmark year approaches, Mark A. Vieira's new book Majestic Hollywood: The Greatest Films of 1939 examines 50 of these unforgettable films. For each movie, Vieira includes a plot summary, notes on the cultural significance of the film, stories from the stars, behind-the-scenes candid photographs and publicity stills. This is a book that film buffs won't want to miss.
Judy Garland's portrayal of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz holds a special place in fans' hearts. She took us all along with her on her adventure down the Yellow Brick Road, and many of us remember eagerly awaiting the movie's annual television broadcast. Jay Scarfone and William Stillman's The Wizard of Oz: The Official 75th Anniversary Companion will remind fans of the magic that the movie created. This highly pictorial, oversized book brings the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic children's series. Scarfone and Stillman try to bring fans new facts, photos and quotes in this comprehensive commemorative book. Filled with test photographs of the cast and filmmaking secrets, this is a must-read for every Dorothy fan.
Many of the films from Hollywood's golden year are available in BCPL's collection.

Loyola's main campus is located at the corner of Cold Spring Lane and North Charles Street in Baltimore—on the northern outskirts of the city—and is easily accessible by car. The train station is five miles away and BWI Airport is 25 miles south of campus. There are many cultural, athletic, and recreational activities in the greater metropolitan area.
From I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway), take exit 25 (Charles Street). Proceed south on Charles Street 5.5 miles. The University's main entrance is on North Charles Street, immediately before Loyola's pedestrian bridge. Turn left into the main entrance, or, go to the next traffic light, turn left on Cold Spring Lane, travel about 500 yards (note the parking lots on your left), and make a left into the campus (between the end of the parking lots and the athletic field). The entrance to the parking lot will be immediately noticeable.

The international anti-piracy agreement was signed by the European Commission and 22 EU member states in January but many countries backpedaled on their decision to sign following widespread protests that followed.
The agreement can only enter into force if ratified by six of the 11 signatory states; The European Union, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, the US and Switzerland. It can only become EU law if approved by the European Parliament.
The Civil Liberties Committee voted against ACTA, which aims to enforce intellectual property rights, alongside the Legal and Industry committees.
According to those who voted against the deal, ACTA does not ensure full respect for private life or full protection of sensitive information.
The Civil Liberties Committee said that internet providers should not police the internet while the Industry Committee said that ACTA fails to balance intellectual property rights, business freedom, protection of personal data and the freedom to receive or provide information.
The International Trade Committee is due to adopt its position on June 21 with the agreement scheduled to be put to a vote by the whole Parliament on July 3.
The European Commission - responsible for negotiating the agreement on behalf of the EU - has asked the European Court of Justice for its opinion and urged the Parliament to wait for a ruling.

Sisters Make Waves
It's always exciting to meet women who are carving out their own destiny. Celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa and her lawyer sister Erin Potempa are just such women and are different in many ways (see above pic) which is exactly what they needed to embark on their journey. The sisters put it all on the line to bring us a product called Beachwaver. The Beachwaver is a super special curling iron that gives you loose, sexy, beachy waves. It's that effortless, no big deal, I'm-too-sexy-for-my-shirt look that we all first saw Gisele rock both on and off the clock. It's a finished look without being over-styled, sexy without trying too hard.
I sit down with the sisters Potempa, and find out how they turned an idea into a reality. Sarah explains she's been passionate about hair and beauty from the beginning. She styles the hair of the elite today but has certainly paid her dues. Sarah began working in the beauty industry at the tender age of 15, starting at a small hair salon in Chicago. That's when she began dreaming up beauty solutions. She was always thinking about how the tools she used everyday could work better, faster, and more effectively. Today, the "beachy-wave" is the look her celebrity clients (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Emmy Rossum, and Lea Michele to name a few) request the most.
Sarah says: "Beauty editors and clients were constantly asking me for tips on how they could get this look at home. I found myself saying, 'You need to hold the curling iron upside down and backwards, upside down and backwards.'" Wrapping the hair in the correct direction is the key to getting the look uniform on both sides.
She explains, "As a hairstylist, I'm standing above the client looking down, so it's easy." She explains. "But doing it on you can be awkward. The feedback I got was that my 'upside down and backwards' explanation wasn't really working. Then I thought – what if you didn't have to hold it upside down and backwards. What if there was a iron that would work in an upright position."
That's where lawyer sister Erin comes in. Erin was miserable working in corporate law. She and Sarah were kicking back at their childhood home, expressing their desires for change and growth. When Sarah approached her sister with the idea of creating their own product, Erin was 'bout it, 'bout it. "I was drawn to the possibility of making something completely new," she says. "When you work in corporate law, you put in a tremendous amount of energy in but don't get a whole lot out."
After just a few conversations, Erin hopped on board. She picked up, moved to New York and has been pushing forward for the last two years, barely taking a breath.
Once these two sisters from the Midwest decided to jump into an industry dominated by old giants, they actually had to produce a product. The sisters pooled a little bit of savings together and Sarah sketched out her idea. A friend of theirs owned a product design firm. They proudly marched their sketch over to the firm. What they quickly learned was that it costs a BOATLOAD of money to make a prototype. It was, without question, completely out of their budget.
The owner of the firm offered a plan of action suggesting how they could go from sketch to product. The girls decided to hire engineers they could pay by the hour. They found themselves a mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, a designer and an assembly guy. They gathered these people in a room and hashed out a plan. The first step was to come up with a CAD (computer animated design). From there the engineers could create a prototype. Having worked in the industry for so long, Sarah knew what she wanted: "I needed it to be a 1-inch barrel. I needed it to be quite a bit longer than the industry standard. I knew how the handle should feel. I knew exactly the type of product I would want to work with day in and day out."
While all that was happening, Sarah had a gig styling designer and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe's hair at QVC. Over the last few years, Zoe has turned her styling skills into a brand and has been killing it. It was on set where Sarah met a marketing man who got the ball rolling. Quality, Value and Convenience was interested but they needed to see an actual prototype. They were interested but they needed to see an actual prototype. This kicked the sisters into high gear. They needed to source factories.
From Sarah's experience the best products have always come from Korea. Sarah had just had a baby boy and there was no way she could take a three-month-old to Asia. So Erin hot-stepped it with her little cat-eye glasses to Korea. A friend of a friend got them a translator and Erin was off and running. The Koreans weren't quite prepared to see a woman show up. At one factory, a sign that greeted Erin read: "Welcome, Mr. Aaron Potempa."
The sisters hooked up with a different factory, one that was family run and shared their values. Putting this curling iron together was no jokes. It has three computer boards and a motor. It has a ceramic rod and is infused with gold powder to keep the heat uniform. Because the iron is longer than usual they had to customize the heater that went inside. Having everything customized challenged the electrical testing laboratories standards. It's been a heck of an undertaking getting this product off the ground, to say the least.
I asked if the sisters experienced challenges working with each other. Sarah responds, "Initially it was hard because we really had to define our roles. People were in our ears telling us that this was going to be impossible to pull off. I literally had someone pull me aside and say lawyers make the worst business partners and family make the worst business partners. So, at the start, I had that banging around in my head." She smiles. "Erin has literally put everything on the line to do this. I still have my job styling hair but she went all in. Her faith in my idea, and me, actually made this possible."
Erin reflects, "It's been amazing to see how similar our work ethic is. Our focus has been on research and development. We are very mindful of our ethics and our core values are completely in line. We really want a company we can be proud of and have it reflect our beliefs. It's hard to step back and look at how far we've come because so much still has to be accomplished!"
They could check one giant thing off of their to-do list: QVC gave them an on-air date to debut their product and they met it…Beachwaver in tow.
The sisters have trusted their instincts every step of the way. They are infectiously passionate and emotional about their journey. Every time one would get frustrated or start to doubt something, the other would rally around with a "Hang in there!" and "We can do this!" and "At some point, there will be a party and we will drink champagne!"
If this product blows up, which I believe it will (check me out all beach-waved below), the sisters will have no one to blame but themselves. They have done everything on their own. I mean…Sarah…oh I don't know, learned Photoshop and Illustrator and designed all the packaging, including the instruction manual herself. And they also decided to save the $800 it would cost to get a shipment of product over to QVC by renting a truck and schlepping the product from JFK (NY) to QVC (PA)
I think their story is a totally girl power, sisters getting it done, ladies doing it for themselves and girls rock the hardest kind of journey. In an industry of giants, these sisters are looking to have their waves make a splash.

Former Kauai police commissioner Bradley Chiba pleaded guilty Monday to running a sports gambling business and filing a false tax return.
Chiba said he ran the business out of his home, receiving wagers via text message and then betting on internet gambling sites.
He resigned from the Kauai Police Commission in February in the midst of the federal investigation and could lose his job with the state Department of Public Safety.
In addition, Chiba will forgo $29,000 in gambling proceeds.

Emma Watson Looked A Little Bit 'Blah' In Burgundy
We here at Styleite adore Emma Watson, but her ensemble at today's photocall for The Bling Ring left us feeling a tad uninspired. That said, she could totally give Anne Hathaway some pointers on how to wear darts without inciting a torrent of internet comments focused on one's nipples. So at least there's that.
The actress stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival in a burgundy two-piece look by Christopher Kane featuring a square neckline and strips of feather detailing. It was a cute look, sure, but probably not the first thing Alexis Neiers and her crew would have snatched out of the Hollywood Hills walk-in closets they pillaged. Luckily this is just the warm up round: Watson's big red carpet moment will be tonight at the film's premiere.
See the look for yourself below, and watch the video for a peek at the Sofia Coppola-directed flick:

BLACK RIVER The success of the Carthage boys lacrosse team literally begins with Paul Bracy.
Bracy, a senior midfielder, has developed into a faceoff specialist perhaps the best in the area, if not one of the best in the region.
His role, often overshadowed by the gaudy statistics generated by high-scoring attackmen and midfielders, is a vital one, as when successful it establishes possession of the ball.
Paul does two things really well, Carthage coach Kirk Ventiquattro said of Bracy. He shoots on the run as well as any kid weve ever had, and he is an excellent faceoff guy.
This in turns helps feed the offensive success of a team while in the process keeps the ball away from the opposition.
Bracy has excelled at faceoffs his past two seasons for the Comets and this year by winning draws hell help spark the flow of the offense, which will be led by senior Bailey Wilkinson.
It all starts with Paul and Bailey (Wilkinson), theres no doubt about it, Ventiquattro said. Bailey is going to play every inch of the field, everything is going to go through him offensively and its going to be up to Paul to make sure we have the ball.
Bracys contributions will again be crucial to the Comets bid to repeat as Frontier Leagues A Division champion.
I try to focus on bringing it all together, Bracy said during team practice at Black River Elementary School. And I like to adapt. If Im not doing well on a faceoff, I just try and figure out what the other guy is doing theres always ways to get around it and beat them.
Carthage has reached the past three Section 3 title games, losing to perennial state power Jamesville-DeWitt each time, including last year in Class B. Bracy knows how a seemingly small event, like a faceoff, can grow larger in high-stakes games.
If its a big possession, it can be a pivotal point in a game, Bracy said. Its like we really need this possession and weve got to get this faceoff. Sometimes its do or die and you have that pressure on your shoulders. It really comes down to how much you want it.
Bracy clearly takes a lot of pride in winning faceoffs, which is a challenge in itself, both mentally as well as physically.
He takes every (faceoff) loss personally, which is what you have to do to be a good faceoff guy, Ventiquattro said.
In my experience, theres no better feeling than getting that ball out clean and on a fast break and sticking a goal in right away, especially starting out a game that way, Bracy said. Its the best feeling in the world, it gets you going and your team going.
Last season, Bracy won faceoffs at a 72.3-percent clip, winning 162 of 224 draws, as well as scoring 30 goals and assisting on 22 others.
Bracy has contested faceoffs at various levels since he was in the eighth grade, when he was encouraged to do so by older brother Andrew, who was a faceoff specialist both at Carthage and now as a junior at Norwich University in Vermont.
Hes been fortunate enough to have a couple really good guys work with him over the years former South Jefferson and Syracuse faceoff guy John Jerome and his brother Andrew, Ventiquattro said.
Bracy, who plans on attending Clarkson University on an ROTC scholarship, is looking into majoring in mechanical engineering.
He sees parallels in being successful on the lacrosse field as well.
In physics, you put energy in and get the same amount of energy out, Bracy said. I think its the same with faceoffs, if you put the work and energy in, youll get results but youve got to give it your all.
Yet Bracy doesnt underestimate the cognisant aspect of winning faceoffs.
Definitely, a lot of it is mental, Bracy said. A lot of the time people overthink it and that cant happen. You just have to go into it thinking Im going to win this and just work harder than the other guy.
But often times winning a draw and advancing the ball up field depends on physical skill and prowess. Bracy ran with the Carthage cross country team last fall to work on his conditioning.
A lot of it is quickness, Bracy said. There are a lot of drills we do for hand speed and quickness. And in the weight room, too. Its really physical and even some of the smaller guys who get in the weight room benefit from it and are able to muscle people out of the way. Its really important to maintain speed and strength its really an all-around thing.
Bracy is quick to give credit to the players around him during a critical draw.
Another big thing with faceoffs is the wing play, having the right guy on the wing and this year its mostly going to be Chris DeRonda, Bracy said. Hes really good about communicating to me about where I need to get the ball out to and where the defenders are.
He also credits teammates Adam Kehoe and Brennan Davis for their skills of gathering in ground balls.
Here is a look at the Frontier League this season:
A Division
Outlook: Carthage is clearly the favorite to repeat as A Division champion in the Frontier League. The Comets lost some firepower to graduation last year with the departure of Seth Leonard (52 goals-41 assists-93 points) and Casey Boulio (60-5-65), who led the league in points and goals last year, respectively. They will be led offensively this spring by Wilkinson (44-41-85), who finished in a tie for second place in points in the league, and is headed to Division II lacrosse power Le Moyne, as well as Bracy. Alex Gillette (16-11-27) and Bryan Peloquin (14-8-22) also returning to play attack. Juniors Josh Yelvington (29-2-31) and Chris DeRonda (5-6-11) will be counted on to lead the offensive midfield group for the Comets. Defensively, with an injury to Jake Turck, Gunner Serota will lead a primarily young group after the graduation of leader Taylor Morgan. The team is backstopped by senior goalie Trevor Gibbons. Expectations are high for a Watertown team that reached the Class B sectional semifinal round last season and won the leagues A division title two years ago. The Cyclones have five of their top offensive players returning, led by senior attackman Eric Soderquist, who finished fifth in the league in scoring with 71 points, which included 40 goals, and senior midfielder and Syracuse University-bound Brad McKinney (43-15-58). As a sophomore last year, midfielder Noah Taylor, who has committed to play Division I lacrosse at the University at Albany, wasnt far behind with 53 points, including 31 goals. The squad also features a young, smart and hard-working defense, which is backed by junior goalie Austin Gibson. Immaculate Heart Central hopes to build on an eight-win season, which included a third-place finish in the division. Fifteen players return for the Cavaliers, who will be led offensively by returners Nick Koemel (28-15-43) and Cole Carpenter (14-6-20). IHCs defense is anchored by senior Jude Whalen, who will attend Division I Drexel University to play lacrosse in 2015. Indian River will look to improve with eight returners on a team.

A rape case in Steubenville, Ohio, might never have been prosecuted had the young perpetrators not broadcast their misdeeds via social media channels -- but that doesn't make the incident a triumph for social media, the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle writes. The exposure left the victim publicly humiliated and highlighted people's willingness to turn a blind eye to the incident. "Social media brought justice, but at a high price," the board writes.

This article describes the functionality and limitations of the Windows Recovery Console. The Windows Recovery Console is designed to help you recover when your Windows-based computer does not start properly or does not start at all.
When you use the Windows Recovery Console, you can obtain limited access to NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 volumes without starting the Windows graphical interface. In the Windows Recovery Console you can:
Starting the Windows Recovery ConsoleTo start the Windows Recovery Console, use any of the following methods:
Using the Command ConsoleAfter you start the Windows Recovery Console, you receive the following message:
Windows NT(TM) Boot Console Command Interpreter.After you enter the number for the appropriate Windows installation, enter the Administrator account password. Note that if you use an incorrect password three times, the Windows Recovery Console quits. Also, if the SAM database is missing or damaged, you are not able to use the Windows Recovery Console because you cannot be properly authenticated. After you enter your password and the Windows Recovery Console starts, type exit to restart your computer.
This is a limited function command prompt intended only as a system recovery utility for advanced users. Using this utility incorrectly can cause serious system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows to correct them.
Type 'exit' to leave the command prompt and reboot the system.
Which Windows installation would you like to logon to (enter to abort)?
Restrictions and Limitations of the Command ConsoleFrom the Windows Recovery Console you can only use the following folders:
Available Commands
HELPUse the help command to list all of the following supported commands:
attrib delete fixboot md type cd dir fixmbr mkdir systemroot chdir disable format more chkdsk diskpart help rd cls enable listsvc ren copy exit logon rename del expand map rmdir
ATTRIBUse the attrib command with any of the following parameters to change attributes of a file or folder:
-RNOTE: At least one attribute must be set or cleared. To view attributes, use the dir command.
+ Sets an attribute.
- Resets an attribute.
R Read-Only file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
CD and CHDIRUse the cd and chdir commands to change the folder. If you type cd .., you specify that you want to change to the parent folder. Type cd drive: to display the current folder in the specified drive. Type cd without parameters to display the current drive and folder. The chdir command treats spaces as delimiters. Because of this, you must enclose a subfolder name that contains a space with quotation marks, for example:
cd "\winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu"The chdir command only operates within the system folders of the current installation of Windows, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
chkdsk drive /p /rThis command (where drive specifies the drive to check) checks the drive, and if needed, repairs or recovers the drive. It also marks bad sectors and recovers readable information.
The /p switch instructs CHKDSK to do an exhaustive check of the drive even if the drive is not marked with problems, and then corrects any errors that are found. The /r switch locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Note that if you specify the /r switch, the /p switch is implied. The chkdsk command may be specified without arguments, in which case the current drive is implied with no switches. Optionally, the listed switches are accepted. The chkdsk command requires the Autochk.exe file. Chkdsk automatically locates this file in the bootup folder. Typically, this folder is the Cmdcons folder if the Command Console was pre-installed. If the folder cannot be found in the bootup folder, Chkdsk tries to locate the Windows CD-ROM installation media. If the installation media cannot be found, Chkdsk prompts you to provide the location of the Autochk.exe file.
CLSUse this command to clear the screen.
copy source destinationUse this command (where source specifies the file to be copied and destination specifies the folder or file name for the new file) to copy a file. Wildcards or folder copies are not permitted. A compressed file from the Windows CD-ROM is automatically decompressed as it is copied.
If destination is not specified, it defaults to the current folder. If the file already exists, you are prompted to overwrite it.
DEL and DELETE
del drive: path filename
delete drive: path filenameUse this commmand (where drive: path filename specifies the file to delete) to delete a file. The delete command only operates within the system folders of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. The delete command does not accept wild card (*) characters.
dir drive: path filenameUse this command (where drive: path filename specifies drive, folder, and files to list) to display a list of files and subfolders in a folder. The dir command lists all files including hidden and system files. Files may have the following attributes:
The dir command only operates within the system folders of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
D - Directory R - Read-only file H - Hidden file A - Files ready for archiving S - System file C - Compressed E - Encrypted P - Reparse Point
disable servicenameUse this command (where servicename specifies the name of the service or driver to be disabled) to disable a Windows system service or driver.
Use the listsvc command to display all eligible services or drivers to disable. The disable command prints the old start type of the service before resetting it to SERVICE_DISABLED. Because of this, you should record the old start type in case it is necessary to re-enable the service.
The start_type values that the disable command displays are:
diskpart /add /delete device_name drive_name partition_name sizeUse this command to manage the partitions on your hard disk volumes.
WARNING: This command can damage your partition table if the disk has been upgraded to a dynamic disk configuration. Do not modify the structure of dynamic disks unless you are using the Disk Management tool.
ENABLEenable servicename start_type
You can use the enable command (where servicename is the name of the service or driver to be enabled) to enable a Windows system service or driver.
Use the listsvc command to display all eligible services or drivers to enable. The enable command prints the old start type of the service before resetting it to the new value. You should note the old value, in case it is necessary to restore the start type of the service.
Valid start_type are:
SERVICE_BOOT_STARTNOTE: If you do not specify a new start type, the enable command prints the old start type for you.
EXITUse the exit command to quit the Command Console and restart your computer.
expand source [/F:filespec] [destination] [/y]
expand source [/F:filespec] /DUse this command (where source specifies the name of the file to be expanded and destination specifies the directory for the new file) to expand a file.
NOTE: You may not include wildcards.
If destination is not specified, the command defaults to the current folder.
expand prompts you if the destination file already exists unless you use /y.
fixboot drive name:Use this command (where drive name is the drive letter where the boot sector will be written) to write the new Windows boot sector code on the boot partition. This command fixes problems where the Windows boot sector is corrupted. The Emergency Repair process also fixes the boot sector. This command overrides the default of writing to the system boot partition.
fixmbr device nameUse this command (where device name is an optional device name that specifies the device that needs a new MBR) to repair the master boot record (MBR) of the system partition. This command is used in scenarios where a virus has damaged the MBR and Windows cannot start.
WARNING: This command has the potential to damage your partition tables if a virus is present or a hardware problem exists. This command may lead to inaccessible partitions. Microsoft suggests running antivirus software before using this command.
The name can be obtained from the output of the map command. If this is left blank, the boot device's MBR is fixed, for example:
fixmbr \device\harddisk2If Fixmbr detects an invalid or non-standard partition table signature, it prompts you for permission before rewriting the MBR.
format drive: /Q /FS:file-systemUse this command (where /Q performs a quick format of the drive, drive is the drive letter of the partition to format /FS:file-system specifies the type of file system to use [FAT, FAT32, or NTFS]) to format the specified drive to the specified file system.
If a file system is not specified, the existing file system format is used, when available.
LISTSVCThe listsvc command lists all available services, drivers, and their start types for the current Windows installation. This command may be useful when using the disable and enable commands.
NOTE: These are extracted from the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\SYSTEM hive. If the SYSTEM hive become damaged or missing, unpredictable results may occur.
logonThe logon command lists all detected installations of Windows, and then requests the local administrator password for the copy of Windows you chose to log on to. If more than three attempts to logon do not succeed, the console quits and your computer restarts.
map arcUse this command (where the arc parameter tells the map command to use ARC paths instead of Windows Device paths) to list drive letters, file system types, partition sizes and mappings to physical devices.
MD and MKDIRThe md or mkdir commands create new folders. Wildcard characters are not supported. The mkdir command only operates within the system folders of the current installation of Windows, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
more filenameUse this command to display a text file to the screen.
RD and RMDIRThe rd and rmdir commands delete a folder. These commands only operate within the system folders of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
REN and RENAMEThe ren and rename commands can rename a file. Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination file. These commands only operate within the system folders of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
SETThe set command allows you to display or modify four environment options.
AllowWildCards = FALSE AllowAllPaths = FALSE AllowRemovableMedia = FALSE NoCopyPrompt = FALSE
SYSTEMROOTThe systemroot command sets the current working folder to the %SystemRoot% folder of the Windows installation you are currently logged on to.
type filenameThe type command displays a text file.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Executives at Kodak and Deere are now paying for their own home-security systems, a sign that executive-security is one perk corporate board's are scrutinizing more closely.
Indeed, other companies cut back on security expenses, too -- especially those known to spend big bucks on protecting their CEO, according to a MarketWatch review of proxy statements filed so far this year by Dow 30 components and larger S&P 500 companies.
The security tab for Google CEO Eric Schmidt fell 42% to $233,542 last year. The bill for FedEx CEO Fred Smith dropped 23% to $461,405, while the cost for Disney CEO Bob Iger dipped 9% to $589,102.
Since 2007, Google GOOG, +0.62% has paid $1.1 million in personal security expenses for Schmidt, FedEx FDX, +1.06% has paid $1.5 million for Smith, and Disney DIS, -0.08% has paid $1.9 million for Iger.
Compensation consultant Todd Gershkowitz of Farient Advisors said CEO security is not an egregious perk compared to goodies like country-club memberships, chauffeurs or taxes companies pay on super-sized severance packages for axed CEOs.
But company-provided security "becomes an invasion of privacy, some CEOs don't want it, some accept it," said Gershkowitz, who considers CEO security expenditures more of an issue about risk than one of executive perks handed out by directors.
He said he'd like to see more detailed disclosures about CEO security in proxies.
Deere DE, +0.29% and Kodak EK won't pay the bill for residential security anymore, according to their yearly proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Starting this year, Deere said eight executives will have to reimburse the company for security services that had included "drive-by surveillance and response to security alarms" for certain executives by Deere's corporate security staff.
This perk cost Deere less than $19,000 last year, but the exact number is unknown since the tractor maker lumped the cost in with spouses attending company events.
Kodak paid a one-month bill of $876 for five executives, before dropping the perk in February 2009. Long-struggling Kodak, which lost $210 million last year, will still pick up the tab for CEO Antonio Perez, however.
At Citigroup C, -0.20% the bank won't be paying for personal bodyguards and armored vehicles for Roberto Hernandez Ramirez, a Mexican-based banking executive who stepped off Citi's board last spring. Since 2007, Citi had paid $5.4 million for his security, office space and airplane use.
The emphasis corporate boards put on CEO security expenses can vary vastly depending on their culture. IBM IBM, -0.17% Dupont DD, +7.66% and Procter & Gamble PG, +0.25% require their CEOs to use the corporate jet even for personal travel.
Compare that to UPS UPS, -0.10% UPS CEO Scott Davis and other top execs fly commercial when traveling for business.
Terry Lundgren, CEO at Macy's M, -0.62% is provided a car and driver to shuttle him around New York City. That cost more than $261,000 in 2009. Intel INTC, +1.70% CEO Paul Otellini drives himself to work from his San Francisco home to Silicon Valley when he is in town.
Since proxies from S&P 500 companies are still trickling out, it's too early to determine if the nation's 500 largest companies cut CEO security perks as they slashed other operating costs during the so-called Great Recession.
CEO security tabs had been on the rise from 2006 through 2008 at Fortune 100 companies, according to Equilar, an executive compensation research firm.
The security tab for Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has climbed in each of the past three years. It rose 25% to $640,000 in 2009 due to "increased personal security details" and upgrades to Schultz's residential security systems.
Coke KO, -0.12% paid more to protect Jose Octavio Reyes, its top executive in Mexico, where drug violence worsened last year. His security bill, which comes with bodyguards and 24-hour residential security, rose 36% to $488,719.

Same long lasting quality insole material as the slip-in insole but with an added soft arch cushion for extra comfort. Arch Cushions Relieves tired arches, reduces friction that may cause blisters.
Place in shoes green side up. Trim with scissors if necessary. Machine wash, warm. Air Dry.
This product gives great relief to foot pain.I will recommend this product to every one.This is very helpful to children and dancers.

I was having a lot of pain with heel spurs and this product relieved the pain.

I've had heel pain for years from being a waitress decades ago carrying large trays of food. The Halo Heel has been the perfect pain reliever for me. I've never gone to a foot doctor, since this product has relieved the pressure off my heel.
I can personally attest that I got more relief from my "Halo Heels" than I ever did with my podiatrist-prescribed customized foot orthoticcs!! I got one for each foot, and in my brisk walking/jogging workouts (4 miles a day, for 5-6 days a week), these have stood "tough" through each workout and I never got my plantar fasciitis back. Got the PF in November and it finally went fully away in July, and these Halo Heels were a HUGE help in my getting over PF for good! I am going to buy more, so I have some in my most-used shoes (work, running, etc.). GREAT product - will make you feel like you're walking on a cloud!! :)
These are the best thing since sliced bread. Being a hairdresser and being on my feet all day I seldom have any pain in my heels. I would highly recommend this product

Home Away: The Sequel
Studio City, CA: When I was here last fall, I found the perfect little
home away from home
. Guess someone else thought it was perfect too since when I found out I was headed back to LA for the winter, the place was already rented to someone else.
I scoped out the other other vacation rental properties and found another few cute options, but none were available during my entire stay.
This is when I got to make a choice: I could either complain that I have to move in, unpack, repack, move out, move into a new place...
three times
in two months. OR I could look at it as an opportunity to check out three different charming cottages and "play house" while I unexpectedly took up semi-residence in the sunshine state.
After a bit of mild complaining (who would I be if I didn't complain?), I packed my bags and got ready for my latest adventure.
HOME AWAY 2: The Sequel
This four unit condo building reminded me of my home in Nashville. Which is kind of why I didn't want to initially stay in it (I prefer trying out a new setup), but also why I kind of liked staying in it (it felt similar to home).
My unit was on the back, lower level, which was great since I didn't have to walk up the flight of stairs each day. Plus it was unit C... which is, you know, kinda perfect for me.
The living room and dining area were both stunning with hardwood floors, fresh flowers...
and candles that offered both light and added ambiance.
The kitchen was small, but decent-sized, and as always, a bowl of fruit/water/popcorn/cookies were left to welcome me home.
There were actually two identical bedrooms, which was perfect when I invited one of my sweet friends to visit for a weekend.
It had one bathroom and a stackable washer/dryer,
a back patio for outdoor enjoyment (though it was hard to enjoy anything outdoors in the winter... even in California!),
and its very own smiling Buddah.
But the best part? Within walking distance to greatest coffee shop & cafe/bakery in the Valley --
Aroma Coffee & Tea Company
-- aka
Overall, two thumbs up to the sequel. After a week, I packed up, moved out, and headed onto my next set of digs. My only real requirement, so it seems, is wireless internet so I can blog about where I just came from.

Who would have ever imagined that mobile phones would become the standard for digital photography? As Apple and other various phone companies work to enhance camera capabilities in newer phone designs, the fight for the best camera phone on the market is getting increasingly competitive.
With competition between phone manufacturers surging, mobile technology marketers have an opportunity to capture new audiences and encourage them to upgrade their phones to keep up with the latest trends in picture capturing, editing and sharing.
Apple's newest iPhone, the 5c, boasts an 8MP iSight camera, which the company states, "delivers startlingly sharp photo quality thanks to features like a sophisticated five‑element lens. And panorama, which lets you get stunning high‑resolution shots…" Companies, such as Apple, have spent significant efforts on improving camera features and utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance the user experience.
Conversely, mobile application companies have capitalized on the trend of photo editing and sharing by creating hundreds of thousands of applications to enhance picture quality and make sharing photos effortless.
Users expect the iPhone to be able to make calls, send text messages, update email inboxes and come loaded with games. But now, users are now expecting mobile phones to capture life's most precious moments, leaving technology companies scrambling to figure out how to market to a new segment of cell phone users: the photographers.
Today, iPhone technology has replaced traditional camera use. Looking at data from the photo sharing website Flickr, most of the photos shared come from an iPhone 5.
Mobile technology marketers ought to position newer phones as focused on being a camera first. Since almost everyone uses their phones to take pictures, marketers should effortlessly show how their phone makes capturing, editing and sharing photos simple and appealing.
Apple places emphasis on it's camera features, but could benefit from playing up the easy to use features and high-quality picture capability. In my opinion, the iPhone provides the most user-friendly photo app with the highest quality. With the click of a couple buttons, photos are easily shared across multiple social media platforms. The applications that Apple offers for editing and sharing are easy to use and aesthetically appealing. Additionally, Apple frequently introduces software upgrades that enhance the camera features even more.
Applications such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter encourage users to share photos instantly through smartphone technology. Why not create an advertising campaign focused on the popularity of mobile applications to target the photographer demographic? That being said, Apple's camera phone technology proves to be a cut above the rest.

It's been a tough week. For one, I left my camera in a friends car for a few good days; a few good cute days!
and then I found out my grandmother died so I haven't done much of anything. But here's a few images that were on the camera. I leave for Pennsylvania tomorrow and will be gone until Thursday night…we'll see if I'm too preoccupied or if I can manage a few updates in there.
H&M Skirt
Forever 21 loose tank
Aldo boots
and a few days later I wore almost the same outfit…
Forever 21 skirt
same Aldo boots
Wet Seal double layer tank
Peter Grimm hat
and here's a few random shots from the beach and six flags, just figured I'd share <3
And hey, isn't he adorable? and ooh. This reminds me that I need to work on those than lines.
Anyway, enjoy! Maybe I'll have something fiercely fashionable from the funeral.

If we look at where we were ten years ago to where we are now, we have a lot to celebrate. In this past decade, we've taken on visible roles across the world showing the brilliance, complexity and humanity that is the trans community. We've written ourselves into books. Shot ourselves into films. And spoken ourselves into a global conversation of trans resistance and justice.
And we have done so without shame.
In these past ten years, our tenacity for equality has transformed policies that discriminate into policies that empower. Leaving us the gift of cliche, as we've proven that history is indeed written by the victors.
In this past decade, we've built a community of allies through the simple and genuine act of being our authentic selves. We have transformed their hate into love, their misunderstanding into compassion and have shown them that the ability to express gender, in all of its fullness, messiness and beauty, is the ultimate revolution.
But the most powerful representation of our progress within this time–a mere ten years–is that we've begun to understand the urgency of advocating for trans equality across racial lines. In true subversive form, we've seen trans people of color take on leadership roles locally and across the country. A gesture of equipoise to other movements that have so fiercely denied us this right. My presence on this stage, as a visible and unforgivingly black trans man, speaks volumes to this work.
But we still have far to go.
In this space of honor and tolerance of all identities that is Trans March, we take to the streets to acknowledge the battles we continue to fight and we do so with undaunted dignity.
We march to honor trans women who have the audacity to stand up against hate only to pay for it with their freedom and sometimes their lives.
We march to pay homage to our trans brothers and sisters that cannot find jobs or lost one because of who they are and not how they performed.
We march for the little girls, the little boys and the children who don't feel like either, whose courage to live openly about who they are, have revealed the immaturity of adults, who, at their age should know better.
We march for members of our community who live without the privilege of a home. Who live without the privilege of being able to eat. Who live without the privilege of being healthy. But have the privilege of hope that our love generates for them.
We march for our lovers, friends and family members who might not understand who we are completely but have never stopped loving us fully.
We march for our transcestors who did not live to become our trans elders but whose spirit and energy serve as the fuel to keep ourselves alive during moments when it can seem the most difficult to do so.
Finally, we march for us.
For all of us in this crowd who dare to be different and do so with verve and humility.
For all of us in this crowd who fuck with ideas of masculinity, femininity, maleness, femaleness, boy, girl, man, woman, sir, madam, Mr., Mrs., and Ms.–and look incredibly sexy while doing it.
We march for all of us who wake up everyday, staring the threat of being misgendered, of being racially profiled, of being sexually harassed, of being kicked out, fired, clocked, beat, bullied, and badgered, until there is nothing left to do but march.
I'd like to end with a quote from trans pioneer Sylvia Rivera, who in an essay before her passing wrote, "Before I die, I will see our community given the respect we deserve. I'll be damned if I'm going to my grave without having this respect [and] I want to go wherever I go with that in my soul and peacefully say I've finally overcome."
As we step our anxious feet into these historical streets of San Francisco with our minds, bodies and hearts on display, let us do so knowing that although we're not always respected by the world, we must continue to hold one another in the highest regard because it is the benevolence of our love for one another, and only love, is what will allow us all to overcome.
Thank You
