I quite often use nail polish but as soon as it starts to look scratched or chipped I want to remove it. I want to remove the polish as quickly and effectively as I can without damaging my nails with harsh chemicals. I have used many different brands of nail polish removers but I recently saw this Superdrug own brand Nail Polish Remover. You can identify these Superdrug products as they are sold exclusively by the chemist chain and they also carry a distinctive silver star logo.
I bought a 250ml bottle of this polish. The product I bought comes in a semi-opaque plastic bottle with a twisting top. Product information is printed on the label. As with all Superdrug products this is BUAV approved and is suitable for vegetarians.
The product is only suitable for real nails, not artificial nails, and the directions for use are very simple. You simply apply the clear liquid to a cotton ball or pad, place on the nail for a second to saturate the surface and then wipe away.
The nail polish remover formula is thin and watery. It has a very acrid smell and I recommend not inhaling near the bottle top or near to where you have dowsed your cotton wool. It's a scent that can stick in the throat. The nasty small actually dies away when you have removed the polish and the nail surface has dried. There is no need to wash your hands after use.
I'm satisfied at how quickly and effectively the product performs. I have a lot of different types of nail varnish with different thicknesses and styles and this remover manages to take off all of them. It does not remove the underlying stain from very dark shades unfortunately. I also sometimes see the glitter from sparkly polishes left on the surface of the nail but this is mostly because the particles are too small to remove.
My nails look and feel good after using this remover. They are in good condition use after use and actually feel a little softer and less brittle after using this product.
I would definitely buy this again as I feel it does what it's supposed to do and I like that a 250ml bottle is only £1.09. This is a slight saving on other brand products. This is available at Superdrug stores now and you can also buy online. It is also available in mini 50ml sized bottles which are handy for trips.
I have tried a few different nail polish removers from the cheap ones which leave your nails incredibly dry and the more expensive ones which are super nourishing. Although this one isn't the most conditioning of all of them, it certainly strikes a good balance between conditioner and price. This one was around £1.50 when I bought it in my local Superdrug, with their standard nail polish remover being slightly cheaper and I think they had another which was slightly more expensive. I can't remember what it had in it though to justify the extra 30p!
It comes in a tall slim screw top bottle which looks slightly bigger than the leading brands such as Cutex. You must be careful of the screw top lid, I found that with mine the lid leaked slightly so just try and keep it upright as much as possible. A good thing about the bottle is that it has quite a wide neck part, which means that you can dip cotton buds straight into it, which is a bit easier than trying to pour it onto the bud itself. This is good if you're a bit heavy handed like me and have a tendency to spill things.
The smell of the product is like all other nail polish removers - horrible. It certainly isn't one of the worst smelling removers, but at the same time it certainly isn't the best. To be honest you don't really buy these types of products for the smell, and it doesn't detract from the overall score. It's a very good remover and does well with removing the darker colours without leaving too much behind. I've also tried using it with some glitter nail polish and it does really well with removing that as well - I usually find these slightly more difficult to remove and this does a brilliant job with it. The product also does a brilliant job with keeping my nails in good condition - some cheaper polishes leave them dry and brittle but this does the complete opposite. I think for the money that you're paying for this, it does an absolutely brilliant job on all accounts!
I recently popped into superdrug to buy some nail polish remover.
I found there was a range stocked on their shelves with a choice of 3-4 other ones.
I bought this one priced between at £1.09
The nail polish remover comes in a long 250ml bottle.
It has minimal packaging design but then again, I really don't need it to look flash.
The bottle includes everything you need to know - directions for use and safety advice.
The bottle also has the tag 100% happiness which means if you are not happy with it, they will give you a full refund and 25% off your next own brand purchase. This shows that they are confident in the quality of their product and I have to say I cant fault it.
The bottle has a white screw top lid which is easily opened. On opening the bottle you will notice the strong chemically smell that is the usual kind for nail polish removers. To apply the product I just tipped it onto some cotton wool pads and rubbed it over my finger nails.
The liquid is quite thin and I found I did not need to apply much for it to remove the nail polish.
I found it to remove the nail polish effortlessly and quickly. I only had to go over it twice on some nails and all traces of the nail polish were removed. I wasn't sure how it would leave my nails after the product had been applied and thought it may dry them out.. but my nails were left soft and smooth and did look clean.
Nail polish remover is highly flammable so you should be careful with it and keep it out of reach from polished or painted surfaces.
I give the product 5 stars and would purchase it again as it did what it was meant to, did not cost much and there's plenty in there that it will last me quite a while!
Thanks for reading.

I dont normally shop at Superdrug, I tend to prefer Boots but I needed some nail polish remover and Superdrug was closer to me than Boots was so I popped in there instead.
This nail polish remover retails for around £1.40, which is great as I dont like to spend alot on nail polish remover - id rather spend more on the nail polish! The product itself comes in a clear tall and thin rounded botte with a screw off cap. The liquid is a clear purply-pink colour, its smells jst as all nail varnish removers do - no very pleasent, and very chemically!
It does the trick, removing my nail polish without having to scrub at my nails like I have with some other cheap brands. It works best applying to a cotton wool pad than brushing over your nails, you dont need much. Some nail polishs I have had to soak my cotton wool pads and use about 5 just to get my varnish off my nails, but this is not the case with this one. I use one pad for each hand.
It leaves my nails looking nice and clean and my cuticales soft, and its doesnt take long or much rubbing to get the nail varnish off, even round the edges. I would recommend this nail varnish to everyone, there's no need to buy a more expensive branded one as this works just fine and is available in all superdrug stores.
As I like to paint my nails regularly it is essential that I always have a bottle of nail polish remover to hand. My nail polish remover of choice is Superdrug's own as it is cheap and cheerful and gets the job done.
The product itself comes in a long see through bottle which allows you to see all of the purple liquid and just how much of it you have got left. The ingredients list and instructions are printed clearly on the back of the bottle but I think this is pretty self explanatory. What I really like about this packaging is the lid, this may seem strange but it is extremely secure. The lid screws on tightly and has the added feature of a fixing on the inside which the bottle opening fits into to prevent spillages. This is perfect if you need to take this product with you travelling.
Using the product is simple, you literally need to pour some of the liquid onto cotton wool and away you go.
The bottle opening is a good size so that you can place a cotton ball or pad on the top, tip it and not get nail polish remover everywhere. I use cotton wool pads and they completely cover the opening with more to spare.
There is nothing particularly special about the scent of this product; it smells like any other nail polish remover.
The liquid absorbs easily into the cotton wool, when I have been desperate to use this and have not had any cotton wool spare I have used tissue and it absorbs easily into that as well.
When you are ready to remove your nail polish the product works well to achieve this. I have found it to be effective on the majority of nail polishes; however, some of the darker polishes may need a bit of an extra rub. It does the job to remove all traces of nail polishes and leaves my nails looking lovely and healthy.
This product is formulated with glycerine which has conditioning qualities. I can't say I have noticed that my nails look any more conditioned when using this product but my nails are generally quite healthy and conditioned anyway.
As well as doing its job perfectly this product also lasts absolutely ages! I actually cannot remember when I purchased the bottle that I have now and I've still got about a fifth left. Therefore I think it is very economical considering the price.
For a 250ml bottle you will pay £1.09 in Superdrug stores, for what in my eyes is an essential this is a bargain.
In case you could not tell I highly recommend this product, it's cheap and affordable and is a quality product. 5 stars!

I don't normally use Superdrug, but there was a huge queue in Boots, and I really needed to get some nail varnish remover, as I was walking around with seriously chipped nails! The nail polish remover was on special offer, it was buy one get one half price, so it worked out about £3 for two of these bottles.
The nail varnish remover itself is purple and clear. It comes in a tall, thin, round bottle- also purple. The lid is a round screw on and off lid. It is easy to remove and put back on and is nice and secure so it doesn't worry me too much about leakages (although not too sure I would package it in a suitcase full of clothes without putting it in a plastic bag for safety!) The nail varnish remover has that familiar chemically type smell, but I think something a little more floral has been added to take the edge off of it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe it is a chamomile scent.
The nail polish remover works best when applied to cotton wool and then rubbed softy onto the nail. Compared to other nail varnish removers you only need an average amount to get the varnish off. The edges are a bit trickier and may need fresh liquid, but this is no different to other removers.
The remover does take off the top layer of shine on your nails, but all in all it leaves them in good condition. My nails were looking really good after use.
This is a good, effective nail polish remover, at a reasonable price. I would well recommend it.
During winter and summer months, I always try to find the time to paint my finger and toe nails. Due to an abundance of clothes I am constantly changing the colours, a big favourite of mine at the moment being pillar box red. Hence I constantly need to remove nail varnish. The Superdrug nail polish remover promises to remove nail polish whilst conditioning the nail underneath and at a bargain price how good is it?
The Packaging ~
Superdrug nail polish remover with conditioner comes in a translucent circular bottle and contains 250ml of light purple liquid inside. The bottle is easy to use being that it has a screw top cap, which means the liquid can literally be poured onto a cotton wool pad in the required quantity. The bottle also being circular fits neatly alongside other bottles whilst standing.
The Product ~
The purple remover is of the usual thin consistency and smells rather strongly of the alcohol/ chemical content that gives nail varnish the heave ho. This product can be applied to the nail both by soaking into a cotton wool pad or by soaking into tissue, however from experience the cotton wool option usually lasts longer and seems to cover more distance than the comparatively feeble tissue.
In Application ~
Upon soaking the remover into the chosen material the product can literally be wiped over the nail to remove colour, or for darker colours can be left to sit over the nail before rubbing. It can also be soaked onto cotton buds to enable the hard to reach areas to be removed i.e. the edges of the finger nail. This is also a useful method when painting the nails to mop up those occasional smudges.
My Experience ~
Due to the frequency that I apply and remove nail varnish I needed a product that was good value and that took off the most stubborn of nail colours. This product ticks both boxes. It is priced in Superdrug at around the £1.09 mark and I can testify that it does effectively remove 99% of nail colours. The only exception to this rule is very dark or bright red nail varnishes which do leave a hint of the colour behind even after soaking with polish remover. I am told that it is best to use an undercoat to prevent this happening and will be doing so in the future.
The product promises to condition the nail, and upon removal I have found no damage to the original nail and the nail is left shiny after treatment.
To surmise, this is a great product at a very reasonable price which is easily as good as the leading brand. Therefore I have scored it 5 stars.
Thank-you for reading my review.

I have only just begun to take a pride in having long nails as I have bitten my nails since as long as I can remember and over the past six months I have found that i have now borken the habit and can grow them to a nice length and file, shape and paint them.
I bought this Superdrug Nail Polish Remover With Conditioner
for £1.09 when I was last in town and it has done the job of taking off the nail polish quite well.
It helps to keep the nails in good condition and can be used on the fingers and toe nails as I like to paint them the same colour when i'm having a pamper day or on a nice warm day when I can wear my open toe sandles and dress.
The bottle is a nice purple plastic and the liquid inside is a purple colour too it does smell a little so don't get it very near your nose and keep away from the eyes and from small children getting their hands on it.
I like to use this on a cotton wool ball as you can get a little amount on and rub it gently over the nail to remove the polish. It does remove quickly without too much scrubbing over and over again. You can see it being left on the cotton wool balls as you use them.
For the price this is very good value and the bottle lasts a long time as you only need a little of the liquid to remove the polish. it doesn't strengthen the nails but I find that it does remove well so I am happy to recommend this to you. It removes quickly and my nails are dry and clean when i have used it so that I can think about filing them shaping them and putting on a different colour.
It's not often you find a cheap brand that does a good job like the more expensive brands and in this day and age if it works well, then why pay more than you can afford for something with a label name on it.
I have never really stuck with any particular brand of nail polish remover before... but this is the one that I have consistantly bought the past three times in a row. Not only is is cost - effective, but the 'conditioning' in the remover itself, I believe has truley worked.
We all know that manual labour is hard on our nails, and can sometimes lead to thinning, layering, chipping and breaking. (ARGH!) As you probably do, I tend to cover up my nail flaws with nail varnish, and only have to face the brutal truth when I remove the paint. However, I have definitely noticed a drastic change in the condition of my nails after removing the polish, now that I use superdrugs own brand!
I'm not sure about the science behind it all, so i couldn't tell you why it does what it does, but it works, and that is all that matters!
I always have atleast two coats of nailvarnish on, and it can get quite thick, so in regards to scrubbing your nails til their raw to get it off, this is not the case, which is an obvious plus. Just have your cotton wool ready and and you're nail varnish will be off in minutes.
the only flaw I can think of is the smell... but that's just because I HATE the smell of nail varnish remover! Don't we all?
I recently ran out of nail polish remover, and as I don't have one brand, I thought I would try the Superdrug own brand, which had conditioning qualities in the remover, which I thought would be beneficial to my nails, and also quickly remove the nail polish.
The nail polish remover is in a screw top, clear plastic bottle, which contains 250ml of the nail polish remover. The nail polish liquid is a light purple colour, which looks nice, but has very little appeal to customers as the way it looks doesn't effect how well the product works. The bottle has a black label on, which it has the Superdrug logo and some basic information on the product, such as, the conditioning properties the nail polish remover has.
Application of the nail polish remover is a very easy process, for smaller areas, use a cotton bud dipped into the bottle and rub over area of nail polish to remove. For the whole nail, I find using a cotton pad is easier, and I just tip a small amount of the nail polish remover on the pad, and rub over nail. Although it is difficult to control how much the cotton pad has, but easier and quicker to use. The smell of the nail polish remover is the same as any other, a strong chemical like smell, which you can't avoid, but if you really hate the smell I would avoid the bottled liquid and maybe try nail polish remover pads, which means the smell wouldn't be as strong.
The effects of using the Superdrug nail polish remover, was that my nail polish was removed very easily, although in some places, such as the sides on my nails, meant I had to rub abit harder to remove all the nail polish. But for most of the nails, it just took one movement of rubbing to remove most of the nail polish of the nail, which was a positive as I didn't want to be scrubbing and chipping the nail polish off, and the both hands took no more then 5 minutes to get all the nail polish off. Because of the Glycerin, in the nail polish remover it was claimed that the nail polish remover had conditioning properties to it, which I faintly noticed, as my nails did feel better, but I wasn't sure if that was because for the nail polish remover or because my nail are breathing after the nail polish being removed. The effects of the conditioning didn't last that long, so I'm assuming it wasn't because of the effects in the nail polish remover.
Even though the conditioning effect wasn't obvious, I would still highly recommend the Superdrug Nail polish remover with Conditioner, as it is a really effective nail polish remover, and quickly and easily removes nail polish and also the amount in the 250ml bottle lasts a very long time, which is really good value for money!
Superdrug Nail Polish Remover with Conditioner is only available at Superdrug stores and online, and only cots £1.09, which is a great price for the product, a must have!
I have a variety of different nail varnish removers, from pads to liquids and I do think that this one is a good one out there.
The product --> It comes in no fancy packaging but thats fine because it does the job perfectly well. It is in a clear plastic bottle with black writing on it. The remover itself is a light purple. It does the job very quickly and easy. I soak cotton wool and then apply to my nails for about a minute and find that it just lifts off really well after that. It contains glycerin, which is how the formula is so conditioning. It is 250ml.
The cost --> It is £1.09, and really does last for months! It is a great budget buy and it also conditions too.
It smells quite strong but I am yet to fine one that isnt too overpowering - this is just the trait of all nail varnish removers out there.
I don't have too much else to comment on this product - other than it is fab to have, cheap to buy and really does condition and offer healthy clean nails!
The price is £1.09 for 250ml.
Going on the amount you get I do think that this is reasonable especially when you think about how long nail polish remover will last the average person.
The nail varnish remover comes in a round bottle which is see through so you can see the liquid inside.
The colour of the nail varnish is a very nice lilac colour and makes the bottle look quite girly, the lid is also see through and the twist of type.
Over the bottle is 2 stickers which tell us information about the remover.
Overall, for £1.09 I didn't expect much to go into the packaging, its very average looking and nothing special.
'This nail polish remover with acetone removes all traces of even the most stubborn nail polishes quickly and effectively. Formulated with glycerin, known for its moisturising properties, to help prevent your nails from drying out.'
After having my blue nail varnish on for a few weeks, without it coming off and me repainting it, I decided it was time for a change! I had no nail varnish remover so asked my OH to go out and get me one and this is what he returned with. It sounded perfect, the varnish is probably the most stubborn ever after being gone over for weeks on end, my nails are also very dry and brittle so a product that wouldn't dry these out any more than they already were sounded great.
When opening up the bottle you get a huge whiff of the polish remover, its absolutely foul and makes me feel like I have a headache, but once the liquid is on the pad the smell is no longer noticeable, maybe a little but not as strong as it was.
The liquid is quite watery, doesn't feel greasy whilst going on to your nails, feels quite refreshing and light, I do have lots of cuts and marks around my nails though because I have a habbit of biting them until they are really sore, the liquid really stung but I guess that's my fault, not the products, so what I am saying is if you are like me and bite and pick, this will hurt..but I'm sure all on the market will since they all do the same thing...?
Anyway, did the varnish come of? well it didn't come of quickly, it took a lot of pressure down onto my nails and scrubbing up and down for it to come off, I guess though this was because of all the varnish build up, still it was nice to be left with my 'natural' nails and no longer a bold blue, I have now painted them a lovely nude colour, I made a mistake whilst doing this and I found that a simple wipe with the cotton and the nude colour came of a lot easier than the blue so it must just of been quite tough to get of because of the amount of time it had been on.
Great product and worth the price, highly recommend!
I've actually used this particular nail varnish remover for years as it is so cheap at under £1 for a large 250ml bottle. They also stock Superdrugs own acetone free version which is about 20p more expensive but I never bother with that one.
It comes in a slightly frosted white plastic bottle with a screw top lid. You can clearly see the liquid inside which is of a light purple colour. The consistency is almost water like and the funnel area where you tip it out isn't too large. I have had problems with other nail polish removers the funnel bit being too big and then resulted in me pouring out loads and stripping the varnish off my dining room table! Not good! The lids on my last 2 bottles have somehow broke so i have to be careful and make sure I don't throw it into my makeup box. I tend to use cotton wool pads with this rather than balls as I find it is a lot easier. Whats great about this remover as you do not need to scrub at the nail to get the varnish off, just hold for a few seconds and wipe. The smell isn't overpowering like some, it still smells but no where near as bad as others. I'm not entirely sure about the conditioning in the remover but then again i always moisturize my hands after taking the polish off. It's also not greasy at all which I hate in removers. I would definitely recommend using this as it is such a bargain and works just as well as any other brand out there.
The think I hate most in life, is when I go to re-paint my nails and I have no nail varnish remover left! So I recently went out and brought myself three bottles of Superdrug's own brand remover.
*About the product*
This product is designed to remove nail varnish quickly and easily. Superdrug's nail varnish remover also has a conditioner in it, it is specially formulated with Glycerin which, apparently, is known for it's conditioning qualities.
The nail varnish remover is priced at 99p for a 250ml bottle, not bad at all!
The nail varnish remover is shown in the picture above. The bottle is clear and holds a purple liquid remover. There is a black 'superdrug nail varnish remover' label on the front of the bottle. The back of the bottle has a little paragraph about the product and a directions to use section.
*Directions for use*
It is recommended that you use cotton wool, soaked in the varnish remover, and wipe gently from the bottom of the nail to the tip to remove the nail varnish. Depending on the brand of nail varnish that you use, you may need to repeat this more than once in order to completely remove the product.
I always find that nail varnish remover doesn't remove the product that I have on. I always use Barry M nail varnish and have recently read that this varnish can stain your nails. I found that the Superdrug nail varnish remover was very effective and took off all of the colour on my nails, including the staining, very quickly. Also, the conditioning ingredient seemed to work and my nails did not feel dried out and rough after using it.
I ran out of nail varnish remover the other day and therefore went to add some to my weekly online shop. However, for some reason there wasnt any on the website even though I know they stock it as I have bought it from there numerous times before.
Therefore, when I was next in my local town I decided to pop into Superdrug to pick some up. I was only after a cheap version, really trying to watch the pennies at the moment! So when I spotted this for just 99p I picked it straight up. There is also an acetone free version which costs about 20p more (I think!).
The bottle is just like the one shown in the picture above. The bottle is see through and the product inside is a light purple colour. The bottle tells me I can use this on my hands and feet and it also points out that it is a conditioning nail polish remover, therefore meaning my nails should stay in better condition!
The bottle size is 250ml and it will last 36 months once open. Nail varnish remover always lasts me forever despite using it at least 3 times a week, this is because you use so little of it. Therefore for 99p this is a bargain in my opinion as usually a bottle this size lasts me well over 6 months.
So to use the polish remover you simply squirt a bit onto cotton wool and then wipe it over your nail. I like to use cotton wool pads simply because they tear less easily and I find it quicker and easier. Pouring the remover is easy, the bottle neck is quite small meaning it is easy to control how much you pour out.
Wiping the remover over my nail I was pleased to see how quickly it was removing all traces of nail polish. I didnt particularly have to rub the nail and it slid off really easily. I use one cotton wool pad per hand and this will remove all traces regardless of colour. It also removes glitter polishes really well which is a relief as I have found these difficult to remove in the past. It works quickly and is easy to use, it takes less than a minute to remove all of your nail varnish.
The smell isnt too bad. Often with nail polish removers I need to open the window to allow a breeze through my house but this one is not a problem and nobody has complained about the smell (which they usually do!).
I have also noticed my nails are in better condition since using this, they used to peel and break easily but I have not had any of this since using this (touch wood)!
Therefore I think this is a great product for a brilliant price, I will continue to use this and buy more when my bottle finally runs out.

This is the second part of the analysis of professor Triandafyllidou on the role of immigration in the debates about the demographic trends and the sustainability of welfare states in the EU. The first part is here.
The impact of such a continuous intake will however be different in the three broad regions outlined above. Immigration flows need to be sustained over time in southern, northern and western European countries to respond to important labour market shortages and to sustain economic growth while keeping wages stable especially in low skill sectors such as construction, agriculture or cleaning and catering. These sectors would be driven to a standstill if immigrant inflows were stopped. In the southern European region, demand for these labour market sectors is satisfied by new economic migrants who enter with or without documents in the EU (in the latter case they regularize their status after a few years through one of the recurrent regularization programmes implemented in southern Europe). In the northern and western European countries these shortages are catered for by family related migration (family reunification or family formation) that continues through the ethnic and kinship networks of established migrant populations.
The situation is different in the Central Eastern European region since new member states generally experience strong out-migration pressures and comparatively low immigration. These countries are facing an important socio-economic problem that touches not only their welfare systems but also their labour markets and economies in general. Poland for instance experiences labour market shortages in both low and high skill sectors. The Polish government seeks to attract Polish emigrants back but given the difference in wages between Poland and some of the old member states where Polish emigrants live (UK, Ireland, but also Italy or France), it is unlikely that there will be a significant return migration trend in the coming years. At the same time Polish authorities have adopted a restrictive immigration policy in line with the EU requirements for accession, remaining thus unable to respond to regional shortages in the labour market or to incoming migration pressures from Ukraine and other Eastern European countries.
Although some media have been quick to argue that the current financial and economic crisis makes the migrant labour force redundant, one should take such arguments with a high degree of caution. The crisis does not affect all workers (natives or immigrants) in the same way. Moreover, migration trends are long term phenomena that may fluctuate in response to changes in labour markets or welfare regimes. Although it appears safe to hypothesise that immigration will slow down in the next few years responding to the rising unemployment and low wages, this does not mean that immigration will stop or that European labour markets will have no more job opportunities for immigrants. Rather, it is important for member states and the EU as a whole to think forward and prepare itself for the post-crisis period so as to respond in the best way possible to the growth period that will follow after the crisis.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/7/2012 (1847 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — A new website has been launched to help Canadian and U.S. wheat and barley producers find their way in the new open- market environment that begins Wednesday.
The website, http://canada-usgrainandseedtrade.info, was launched today by a working group of Canadian and U.S. non-profit and trade organizations.
The groups said grain farmers on both sides of the border have been asking a lot of questions as they prepare for the end to the Canadian Wheat Board's long-time monopoly over the sale of Canadian-grown wheat, durum and barley, and the move to an open-market system.
They said the legislated change will create opportunities for Canadian and U.S. producers to move grain across the border in both directions.
"The site will help producers better understand how to navigate through these changes and market their grain across the border," said Richard Phillips, executive director of the Grain Growers of Canada.
"Key questions are answered for U.S. and Canadian producers, including how to find a buyer, how wheat will be graded, and requirements for cross the border," added Shannon Schlecht, director of policy with the U.S. Wheat Advocates.
The groups said visitors to the website site can also submit their own questions and comments.

Welcome to the Skeleton Creek WikiEdit
This is The Skeleton Creek Wiki. Since the old wiki was shut down, I decided to make a new one. I could use your help by adding onto the books and character intel. Thanks so much!
"Fear is the Cure."Edit
-Sarah Fincher's website quote.
Skeleton Creek is a story revolving around teenagers Ryan and Sarah. They are trying to figure out what the story is behind The Dredge and the death of Old Joe Bush, the ghost haunting The Dredge. Thanks to Ryan's writing in his journal and Sarah's video camera recordings, we can watch all the horror and terror The Dredge has. There are four books in the series, "Skeleton Creek", "Ghost in the Machine", "The Crossbones", and "The Raven". The first book is about investigating the dredge and the alchemist, the second is about looking for Joe Bush, the third is about investigating the secret society known as The Crossbones, and the fourth book is about ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Please help me out on the pages as I have only read the first and part of the second.

Companies create product versions from multiple components. The big challenge is how to take the available components and combine them into the product versions and product lines that will maximize profits.
New product launches are highly complex and can pose major challenges to companies. But managing the interplay between product generations can greatly increase the chances for success.
Breaking free of linear chain thinking and viewing value creation from a multidimensional grid perspective provides the greatest opportunities for innovation.

By Giles Elgood KALKAN, Turkey, Oct 31 (Reuters Life!) - Most people come to the southern Turkish resort of Kalkan for sun, sea and some nice restaurants, but if you like motorcycles, there is an added attraction.

The Legacy: A Daughter's Experience of the Holocaust - softcover & ibook
A Photo Essay
de Beth Burstein
Acerca del libro
"Two related series of color photographs explore Beth Burstein's dual identity as an American born well after World War II and as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. Intimate and public, these images function at the margins of both the documentary and fine art.
"The Family Heirloom" is comprised of images Burstein took of her father's concentration camp uniform and her relationship to this family heirloom... The second, related series, "I Thought It Would Feel Like Home", focuses on the 2005 pilgrimage Burstein made with a small group of her relatives to their family's former homeland in Lithuania. In her search to find the remnants of her father's and his family's lives in Lithuania, Burstein juxtaposes townscapes and images of the sometimes hidden memorials to Lithuania's Jewish victims of the Holocaust with her evocative writing about memory, presence, and erasure."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/7/2014 (1115 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon's Mazergroup is poised to become a bigger player in the construction-equipment sales, leasing and service market after landing a deal with a major new equipment manufacturer.
Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas, Inc. announced Wednesday Mazergroup has been appointed a licensed dealer for its products in Manitoba.
Mazergroup will carry its full line of construction equipment, including wheel loaders (also sometimes referred to as front-end loaders), crawler and wheeled excavators, mini-excavators, and skid-steers.
"Mazergroup's commendable business model and ability to meet the ever-changing needs of the customer makes them an excellent fit for our dealer network," said Kirk Gillette, vice-president of sales at Hyundai Construction Equipment, in a written statement.
Denny Bouchard, partner and general manager of Mazergroup's construction division, said Hyundai Construction's product line has grown tremendously over the last 10 years, and is a great addition to Mazergroup's product offering, which also includes the Kobelco line of construction equipment.
Bouchard said Hyundai makes some lines of wheel loaders and excavators Mazergroup doesn't currently carry, including some that are popular with municipal and provincial-governments.
He noted government-related deals account for roughly 30 per cent of the annual construction-equipment sales-and-leasing market in Manitoba, and Mazergroup hasn't been a big player in that segment in the last few years.
"So we look forward to getting back into the game there."
He said more farmers are also buying wheel loaders and excavators, and some of the Hyundai models are also ideally suited for farm use.
"It fills in the gaps and helps make it a more full menu to pick from in terms of product offerings."
In addition to selling, leasing and servicing construction equipment, Mazergroup is also Canada's largest dealer group for New Holland farm equipment, with 12 dealerships in Manitoba and one in southeastern Saskatchewan.
Each of its Manitoba dealerships will handle the full line of Hyundai construction equipment.
Bouchard said it's too soon to say how big of an impact the Hyundai deal is likely to have on Mazergroup's annual sales.
"But I think it will be a noticeable increase," he added.
"Every indication is that we'll be much more competitive."
Bouchard said Mazergroup expects to hire up to four new workers, including sales, parts and service specialists, to complement the more than 260 it already employs.

Write-in candidates shake up Aleppo board
Two write-in candidates appear poised to win seats on the Aleppo Board of Commissioners, besting three candidates whose names were on the ballot.
George Jones and Anthony Lisanti likely will split most of the 704 write-in votes cast, said Matthew Doebler, the only one of four candidates to appear on the ballot and win in Tuesday's election.
The three top vote-getters, endorsed by the Aleppo Good Government Group, ran to improve government transparency, increase community involvement and reunite a township divided by a controversial sewer project, said Doebler, a political newcomer who ran as a candidate of "Restore Sanity," a party he established.
"There's no (township) website in 2013. That's insane. A large portion of the residents are suing the township over the sewer project, and that's insane," said Doebler, who asserted that his party name is not a jab at sitting commissioners. "Aleppo is a community torn apart by this sewer project, and that's what I'm trying to restore."
Masonic Village is suing Aleppo over a sewer rateincrease, according to court documents.
Doebler, 35, a Downtown trial attorney, intends to start a website for the township and communicate with residents through emails, newsletters and short Internet videos. Jones, 67, a self-employed analyst, said he will support Doebler's initiatives. Lisanti, a retired engineer, could not be reached for comment.
Doebler, who received 374 votes, reviewed a list of the write-in votes posted outside the township hall and said most were for Jones or Lisanti. Splitting the write-in votes would put Jones and Lisanti ahead of Republican incumbents Clayton R. Steup, Linda S. Vescio and Edward K. Beaman, who each received about 100 votes.
County election officials do not have to certify the vote until Nov. 25. They did not have a write-in vote tally for the Aleppo race on Wednesday.
The results and write-in campaigns caused confusion in the township of about 1,900 people, said Vescio, 69. She said Doebler, Jones and Lisanti courted only the votes of two housing communities in Aleppo, the Sewickley Heights Manor Homes and the Masonic Village, a retirement community.
"They didn't represent the rest of the township," Vescio said, adding the election could drive the township apart rather than unite it.
Doebler and Jones did not deny targeting the two housing communities. They administered surveys within the communities, held a candidate forum at the Masonic Village and distributed directions to residents about how to successfully write in a candidate on the ballot, they said.
Commissioners serve for four years and receive $100 a month.

What do the characters mean when they say "We are free..." (Linda says) and "a dime a dozen" (Biff talks to Willy)?
- print Print
- list Cite
3 Answers
Linda's remark at the play's end means that they're now free of debt; the mortgage on the house has been paid, evidently with insurance money from Willy's death. Ironically, of course, Willy isn't there to share this freedom with her. All their lives together, they have struggled to make ends meet; finally the family has some money but only because Willy chose suicide.
Biff's declaration to his father that they are both "a dime a dozen" means they are just average, ordinary men, not special in any way. Willy has insisted for years that he is a remarkable salesman destined for great success; likewise, when Biff was young, because he was an outstanding athlete, Willy had enormous expectations for his son's future. These hopes were never fulfilled. Biff wants Willy to see that they are not destined for greatness or special treatment; being ordinary is acceptable and normal. He wants his father to face and yield to reality so that they can get on with their lives. Willy, of course, is too entrenched in his view to accept Biff's statement because it completely contradicts the way Willy sees himself and his son. Then when Biff breaks down and cries, Willy is astonished and says, "--he likes me!" Willy completely ignores what Biff has tried to convey.
cybil's answer says about all that needs be said, but I have one observation. I believe that the house was not paid for by the insurance money. Most life insurance policies do not pay on suicides, and there is evidence that Willie may have tried this in the past. I'm pretty sure that an insurance company would pick this up. It's part of the irony of Willie's life. He couldn't even "end' his life as he wished.
And Linda's remark also has some ambiguity. Freedom exists on many levels; Linda is "free" in the sense of "out of debt." But she will never be free of the consequences of her life with Willie and of the life of Biff and Happy --- and Biff and Happy will never be free of Willie's influence on them. Somehow the past is always there ....
I like your last remark, Tim. Reminds me of Faulkner's famous remark, "The past isn't dead and buried, in fact, it isn't even past."

NSW government urban renewal body Landcom has snared two thirds of
The move by Landcom, which is soon to be merged into the powerful Urbangrowth NSW agency, is designed to kick-start the long-stalled development.
Landcom's purchase from GPT will be structured, with the groups entering a project delivery agreement for the renewal of four blocks of Newcastle's central business district.
GPT will retain one third of the land and will support Landcom in delivering the project, but the listed group has indicated it will not yet commit new capital to the area. A mix of residential, office and retail property is planned, with third parties likely to invest in different components of the project.
GPT has previously worked with Landcom on Rouse Hill Town Centre and selling most of the Newcastle site clears an overhang for the group. GPT put the holding on the market in 2011 after it pulled out of its planned $600 million redevelopment of the mall in August 2010. It abandoned the project after clashes with the then state Labor government regarding the removal of the rail line from the town centre.
GPT's departure prompted David Jones to also leave its Newcastle CBD store. Last year, GPT came close to selling its site to Buildev, a development group backed by Newcastle mining magnate Nathan Tinkler, but the deal collapsed.

Mumbai: The stock of Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), India's largest packaged consumer goods maker, fell to a six-month low on Wednesday after brokerages lowered their outlook on the stock following the firm's decision to increase royalty payments to parent Unilever Plc .
HUL fell 4.43% to Rs.460.20 on BSE Ltd. The benchmark Sensex gained 0.23% to 20,026.61 points.
At least 10 brokerages including Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase and Co., Credit Suisse, Tata Securities Ltd, Karvy Stock Broking Ltd, Nomura and Edelweiss Securities Ltd cautioned investors and criticized its decision to pay a higher royalty to its Anglo-Dutch parent.
The stock has dropped 7.19% after HUL announced its earnings on Tuesday, when it also said the royalty payment will rise to 3.15% of net sales from 1.4% by 2018 in phases. The company reported a 15.5% increase in net profit, while net sales grew 10.1% from the year earlier.
HUL reported its slowest volume growth in 12 quarters.
Edelweiss Securities downgraded the stock to reduce because of a "slowdown in earnings due to royalty and taxes".
Tata Securities pegged the incremental royalty payment for FY14 at Rs.140 crore, or 4% of profit after tax.
The royalty payment increase has drawn flak from several proxy advisory firms as well.

Crusades To Censor And Control 'Your' Internet
The Intel Hub
R.F. Goggin
November 26, 2011
Seems everywhere I turn these days, there is some government or corporate entity in America out to try to dictate what I may or may not see or do – as I surf the Internet.
One of the chief proponents or crusaders, for example, of what for the sake of my argument I will call the 'Nannynet', for lack of a better term, resides in the form of U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Is it my imagination perhaps, or is this Lieberman a fellow who seems to spend an inordinate amount of his time trying to establish governmental control over the everyday on-line lives of people going about their normal routines?
Granted, there are indeed individuals (or even organized groups in this world), seeking bodily harm to others. Yet, wouldn't this be a truism whether or not one happens to be connected to cyberspace? And although someone might harbor a desire to inflict some type of terrorism or injury upon another individual, such thoughts, or even aspirations, are hardly comparable (unless of course, you happen to be a Homeland Security official or a CIA operative) to committing some criminal transgression of any sort.
If, by contrast, one were to come home from an aggravating day at the office, and then update their Facebook profile to say; "Man, I'd like to punch my supervisor out" or "I felt like killing my boss today", have they committed any crime or act of potential terror? I wonder then for the sake of reason and sanity, if it would be out-of-order for me to take an opportunity to remind Mr. Lieberman that it is still a constitutional right of every American, at the least, to express themselves in public however they choose.
Yes indeed, it is nothing less than a U.S. citizen's freedom of speech in significant jeopardy, via the sorts of constricting legislation which Joe Lieberman or other equally powerful politicians are constantly seeking to enact.

Quaker Valley's Perkins earns postseason honors
The individual honors that keep rolling in for Quaker Valley lacrosse player Jimmy Perkins have a lot of people excited.
Except for maybe one person.
"Everyone is more excited for Jimmy than he is for himself," Quaker Valley lacrosse coach Bill Marcotte said. "He is always more focused on what he can do for the team than himself. He is a heck of an individual."
The junior was named the WPIAL Division II player of the year by the Pittsburgh Lacrosse Foundation and went on to be named an US Lacrosse All-American. Both are firsts in Quaker Valley history and Perkins is the only Division II player to be named an All-American in 2013.
"It is obviously a great individual accomplishment," Perkins said. "It shows hard work pays off. But I couldn't do it without my teammates."
Perkins finished the season with 90 goals — 74 of which came in the regular season. His offensive production helped lead Quaker Valley to its first section title, playoff win and WPIAL title game in school history.
Perkins has been playing the sport since he was in the fifth grade.
He actually went on hiatus in the sixth grade and played baseball but returned to the sport after he started following the University of North Carolina lacrosse team.
"Billy Bitter made me want to play," Perkins sad.
In addition to his ability on the field, Perkins is also a presence on the ice for the Quaker Valley hockey team. He finished the 2012-13 season with 38 goals and 31 assists while helping the Quakers finish 25-1 and reach the Pennsylvania Cup title game. The long run — along with the state-title winning season in 2011-12 — have forced Perkins to adjust between the two sports quickly.
"The last two years have been a little different coming in so late," Perkins said. "But I do play travel lacrosse, so I never really put my stick down in the offseason."
Perkins was not the only Quaker receiving postseason honors from the Pittsburgh Lacrosse Foundation. Midfielder Jared Vescio, long stickman Stephen Wei and defenders Aaron Cunningham and Garrett Powell made the all-Division II team. Jake Trovato also made the team for faceoffs.
Marcotte was named the Division II coach of the year.
Panthers lacrosse
The Sewickley Academy lacrosse teams also had several players earn postseason honors from the Pittsburgh Lacrosse Foundation.
Defender Chase Bly and long stickman Barret Fowkes were named to the all-WPIAL boys lacrosse team. Both were named to the all-Division I team, as was midfielder Jake Mulholland.
The girls team saw Alexis Bosilovic and Maggie McClain be named to the all-Division I team.
QV girls
Kayla Foster was the lone Quaker to be named to the all-Division I girls lacrosse foundation by the Pittsburgh Lacrosse Foundation.
Middle school lacrosse
The Spirit of the Game award was presented by the Pittsburgh Lacrosse Foundation to the top middle school lacrosse players in Western Pennsylvania and several area athletes were chosen.
Quaker Valley's Jake Giotto and Sewickley Academy's Smith Johnson and T.J. McCloskey were selected for the boys. Quaker Valley's Sophia Poppenberg and Caitlyn McCloskey, as well as Sewickley Academy's Katherine Blaugrund and Gina Atwood also were selected.

More and more stories are being posted on the internet and appearing on the money management shows every night that are really underlining the fact that Mission Tuition is a must-have that has come along at exactly the right time. What do I mean? The papers and news programs have been going on and on about the world's financial future, and have done many a story regarding the debt that occurs when students have to borrow to the hilt in order to get that college education that they've always dreamed of. Not only do they want that education to achieve a greater success and receive more money in the long run, but they also know that their dreams begin by walking through those college doors. And many have simply not been able to save enough to make that college journey without having to deal with bank loans and decades of future debt.
It is a matter of 'life over debt;' it is a matter of finding a way to achieve that life you've always dreamed of without falling apart at the seams and giving your first two hundred paychecks back to the bank. When I first began hearing about Mission Tuition, I was actually quite surprised that this was a 'new concept,' and that someone had not thought of this before now – considering how important college is in life. Briefly, for those who have not been listening to me over the past few months (I'm sure that's just one or two of you, of course), Mission Tuition has partnered with companies and retailers that everyone out there already shops at on a weekly basis! Best Buy, Lowes, Walgreens, Target, Walmart – the staples that we all use every day to supply our family with food, clothing and the basic needs of life – are working with Mission Tuition in a way that helps college students!
Mission Tuition saw a need and created a proven method to save for your child's education without touching any retirement accounts, or stressing out over where the money is going to come from! Signing up for a free account with Mission Tuition makes sure that when the time comes, there are funds for college so that your child does not have to go into debt for the next decade. Every time you make one of your regular daily purchases on the Mission Tuition website, you get money back that is deposited directly into an "educational savings account" being held at Wells Fargo. When you're shopping in the store, you still receive these amazing rewards, cash-back, coupons and discounts, but it is completely up to you whether the money goes into the account or into your pocket. The point is that the more you save builds up, allowing you the time to research and find the perfect 529 account to invest in with your funds, so that the money is there when your child is ready to pack his or her bags and head off to the dorm.
Another supreme upside of Mission Tuition is the fact that they are a company that assists families. Data, information, statistics, articles, stories, tips – Mission Tuition finds a way to cover each and every need, interest, fear and question you have when it comes to the world of colleges, financial planning, and even how to help your child when they leave home and enter that new – slightly scary – world. You see, it's not only a list of say, toothbrush, computer, clothes, and bedding that you are getting together for your child when they're about to leave home, a parent must also try to give that emotional support. A child who has lived with you and has known every day since birth that you are there for them no matter what, is about to go out on their own, and they need a new source of courage and strength that they must find deep inside themselves.
How can you help with that emotional skill set, and help your child immerse themselves in this new life? Well, there are a few suggestions and tips that can help you teach your child about the changes they are about to experience. Make sure they know that they can always call to check in and also call when they're lonely, but they need to be weaned a bit so that they can learn to make decisions on their own. They also need (like my daughter) to learn how to wake up on time without assistance from Mom or Dad. This is their world to screw up or succeed in now, and parents will not be there to get them out of bed. They need to take responsibility for their academic work – pass or fail, this is all up to them now.
One of the most difficult aspects of college is how to go about meeting new people, especially if you've grown up in a small town with basically the same friends surrounding you your whole life. The college student will now be exposed to things that run the gamut of absolutely cool to unpleasant or objectionable, and they need to know how to handle both with ease, grace and the ability to make the right decisions.
Also, becoming included in campus activities will help them to meet people and enrich their college experience. Many students have regrets over not going further out of their comfort zones during their four years at college, so delving into things and activities that you haven't done thus far could be a whole lot of fun. And learning how to ask for help is essential for a new college student, as well. Professors, TA's – these are the ones who can help academically as well as aid in finding new students activities and information on everything from sports to religious life on campus to medical services that are available.
Graduating high school is a magnificent experience, but what most people don't remember is that it is also a lot like watching a relationship die. SATs, essays and college applications are a thing of the past now that acceptance has come. Receiving that letter from the college that says you have a new home is exhilarating, but also a time of fear, when you know you will be throwing yourself into something brand new. The time for procrastination has come to an end, and adulthood is on the horizon.
Everyone – every child – should be allowed to have that horizon, which is exactly what Mission Tuition wants to help with. By opening up that free Mission Tuition account and going shopping right now, you can save for your child's moment in the sun. Mission Tuition has built up a coalition of thousands of merchants nationwide, and several of those companies offer savings opportunities on your total purchase that will be a huge help to your child's future. And remember, when you shop in-person, in the store, you receive their own advertised discount right there on the spot! AND, once you've become a member, Mission Tuition also offers valuable coupons for in-store discounts on dining, groceries, shopping and entertainment. Simply log in, select from your favorite stores and begin saving. For even greater savings, you also have the option of applying for a new "Mission Tuition MasterCard" that will earn you additional cash rewards on all your purchases.
College is coming, and the time for letting go of the 'apron strings' has arrived. Your child is ready to take that next step, and you can start saving for that moment right now by signing up with Mission Tuition!
Until Next Time, Everybody.

Brian Austin Green and his wife Megan Fox were spotted grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles, California yesterday with Brian's 9-year-old son Kassius and a friend (March 22).
Earlier this month the former Beverly Hills 90210 star gushed about what a great stepmom Megan is, saying, "She's an amazing stepmom. [My son] loves her. They have a great relationship. She's always had a special bond with him. They love each other to death. She's been in my son's life since he was 2. She's been amazing."
The pair, who tied the knot in Hawaii in 2010, have often talked about adding to their happy family. The 25-year-old Transformers beauty recently confirmed their plans, saying, "I want at least two, probably three [kids]. I've always been maternal…. I'm a homebody – I'm not wild."
Kassius comes from a family of actors: Not only are his dad and stepmom in the industry, but his mom is former Las Vegas and General Hospital star Vanessa Marcil.View Slideshow »»

Many people who are interested in Aboriginal art would like the opportunity to meet an artist and to talk about their work. Seeing artists at work and meeting and speaking to them about their culture is an unforgettable experience and for many people it is a highlight of their visit to more remote parts of Australia.
One of the best ways to do this is to visit an Aboriginal community art centre or else to take a specialized Aboriginal art tour. While organized tours are usually more expensive than independent travel, they have the considerable advantage that you are taken into the artists' community by a guide with established relations with the artists and their centre and who is able to explain, and in some cases interpret, when talking to artists who may have limited English (which is often their second or third language).
Many community art centres welcome visitors. However centres are often very remote and have 4WD access only, and at most communities accommodation is not available and you cannot stay overnight. You will need to come equipped and self sufficient in food and shelter (camping).
Centres are usually closed on weekends except by prior arrangement and may also be closed for community activities or unforeseen circumstances. For these reasons it is recommended that you contact the manager of any art centre and make an appointment before visiting it.
Art centre managers can also advise whether access permits are needed - permits to enter remote communities on Aboriginal land are often required. Processing permits can take up to three weeks (but can be much quicker). The individual art centre will give contact details for permit applications.
Contact details for art centres in central and northern Australia are available through the Desart Web site or at www.aboriginlart.org .
Palya Art Tours works with art centres and Community Councils across northern and central Australia. Tours are led by Helen Read who has worked with Aboriginal communities for more than 20 years. The tours offer the opportunity to meet Traditional Owners and artists in a mutually respectful environment. Small groups travel by professionally maintained and piloted light aircraft and 4WD vehicles. Often there are opportunities to purchase artworks by internationally renowned artists from art centres. Tours depart from Darwin or Alice Springs and Broome on request. Palya Art Tours operates between April and October each year.
Aboriginal Art Connections offer specialised Aboriginal art trips to some of the most remote locations in Australia. The five day Arnhem Land tour visits art centres at Oenpelli, Maningrida, Yirrkala and Elcho Island. These centres are located in isolated Aboriginal communities which are difficult to access by road. The tour provides travel in a comfortable twin engine aircraft with all required entry permits, accommodation and meals included. Members of the tours are able to buy directly from community art centres
Spirit Safaris offer small group Tanami Track Aboriginal Art Tours from Alice Springs for 6 days and 5 nights. The tours are of a general adventure travel character but with significant emphasis on Aboriginal culture, including visits to five art centres. The trips run from Alice Springs to Broome via Halls Creek or from Broome to Alice Springs via the Tanami Track.

Who can plumb the alchemy
how their separate visages
began to coalesce alike
across the quiet breakfast table
through the evening kitchen chores
into the selfsame silhouette?
It was as if a mystic wrist
was patiently at work on both
with a single brush and palate.
The sharpness of his brow receded
with the lacing of her ways
surrounding his horizon,
and his lips broke more often
with the Eden freshness of her smile.
Even the arc of her determined cheeks
defined the spray of his own temple lines.
Most of all when looks locked
their eyes sparked the same blue flame
that opened up the universe to heaven
to the place where they were one.
So the young man surfaced in the north
growing daily more enchanting
in the milieu of his mother's grace
transformed by the numinous fusion
of her comely flesh and steely faith.
And when he strode from
his footsteps crossed the sky
like no other print upon the earth.

The armada was overseen by former fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen, who lost 343 firefighters in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
He called the "Sail for America" event another step forward for "a country, a city and a people who have begun to heal."
In what was billed as New York's symbolic rebirth, flotillas of boats converged in the harbor after sailing from the East River, the George Washington Bridge and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
Aboard the boats, more than 3,000 memorial flags were flown - each bearing the name of a victim from the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The flags will eventually be presented to the victims' families.
The flags were the idea of Cathy DeRubbio, whose brother-in-law David died on Sept. 11.
"The families have called me, blessed me, cried," she said. "Sailing is soothing."
Also on Saturday, hikers planned to place American flags at the top of New Hampshire's 48 peaks that are taller than 4,000 feet elevation. Hikers were to leave the banners flying for 2 hours, then bring them down again.
Basil Dixon, a native of Britain who became a U.S. citizen about five years ago, flew a kite shaped like an American flag from the summit of Mount Lincoln, elevation 5,089 feet. Dixon, of Boston, later flew the kite from nearby Mount Lafayette, elevation 5,260 feet.
"After 9-11, even though it was a global event, it was kind of poignant to carry an American flag up with friends and know that many of these peaks also were going to have flags," he said.

NYC Parks Opens New $1.25M Amusement Park-Themed Playground in Rockaway
Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski today joined State Senator James Sanders Jr., Council Member Donovan Richards, children from the Sorrentino Recreation Center and members of the Rockaway community to open the reconstructed Beach Channel Playground.
"The new Beach Channel Playground recall's Rockaway's history -- with a creative design inspired by the Playland amusement park that once stood nearby," said Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski. "It also helps to protect Rockaway's future -- with more trees and more permeable surfaces to absorb water and prevent runoff. I would like to thank State Senator Sanders and Council Member Richards for allocating the funding that helped make this project possible."
This project converted a mostly asphalt lot into a new amusement park-themed playground. It was funded with $1.25 million allocated by former Council Member, now State Senator, James Sanders, Jr. and Council Member Donovan Richards.
The playground provides separate areas of playground equipment for children ages 2-5 and 5-12. It includes interactive midway game elements - such as skee ball and milk bottle games. It also includes a carousel-inspired spray shower, a Ferris wheel-themed climber and a "fun house" area. New benches, fencing, trees, plantings and upgraded utilities were added to the site as part of this work. 36% of the park is constructed from permeable materials that can capture stormwater and reduce runoff. This project was designed by NYC Parks'' landscape architect Steven Whitesell.
