Forget all those dated notions about Value Eyewear. Think quality product at competitive price points. Think stylish eyewear that can go head-to-head with optical's key fashion brands. Value is one product category in which the bottom line has become top notch.
ALL AMERICAN Henry from A&A Optical
"The majority of business at America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses, the 107-unit chain with stores in 22 states throughout the country, is in packages. We don't call it value or managed care or any names that have come to have a negative connotation. What we sell is basic eyeglasses and contact lenses. Our major package is two pairs of eyeglasses with single-vision lenses and an exam for $69.95. Our philosophy is good design without a brand name at a basic price. We have basic product available for every age and gender from kids to seniors. "The essential element in value product is to have good quality and merchandise it well. Treat it with respect. That's the key to changing consumer perception. Value used to mean oversize, ugly plastic frames for old people. That's no longer the case. Value has evolved over the years. I now see 19- and 20-year-olds get excited over a small, trendy metal frame. That's a huge change. Value is going to significantly impact the eyewear industry in the next five to 10 years by forcing the overall market to compete with lower prices."Although price is what brings our customers in the door, what keeps them coming back is quality and design. That's the true test. We maintain very strict tabs on product quality. We have a central lab that checks all product for overall construction before we put in on the shelves. And we offer a full warranty against breakage, even if the customer is responsible for the breakage. What I have noticed over the past few years is eyewear keeps getting better and better in quality and design."
Kelly Carter, vice president of marketing and merchandising, America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, Philadelphia
LOLA from Limited Editions Eyewear
MERO C133 from Glance Eyewear
"1st Eye Care is an independently owned optometric practice, which has been run by Tim Kret, OD, for 30 years. He has recently been joined by Michael Bond, OD, and Lindsey Bond, OD. Our patient base scans all ages and crosses all economic groups. Our frame prices reflect this diversity, ranging from $35 to $1,800 and over for a customized frame with diamonds. We use the economy products for insurance plans and to supply frames to children under special programs. We have a $99 frame and lens package for insurance plans, but unless our patients specifically say they don't want to spend more than the insurance allows, we show our best products first. In the past few years, though, insurance has become a major factor in our practice. I've been here 25 years. Our patients used to come primarily because of the doctor and not question the price. Now they are much more price conscious and we need to address their needs. People in any income bracket are looking for quality and service and for eyewear that makes them feel good."In selecting value product, we look for dependable vendors that stand behind their products. We have to know we can get replacement parts when we need them."
Deborah Black, optical manager, 1st Eye Care, Ft. Worth, Texas
PINNACLE EYEWEAR U7012 from Global Optique
"We are located in a small, rural, farming community in South Texas with many seasonal workers. Our patients want nice styles and durability, but at a good price. They are very affected by the economy. For example, last year we had severe rains, which wrecked havoc with the seasonal jobs. And we have a lot of Medicaid patients and a lot of children—half of our customers are children. Approximately 60 percent of our sales are in the value end. We offer packages—$39.90 for a frame with single vision lenses; $59.90 with polycarbonate lenses; $89.90 for bifocals. Our non-package sales range from $149 for a frame with single vision lenses up to $500."When selecting value product, we look for good styles, good colors—we sell a lot of blue—and good quality. I don't want something that will fall apart in two weeks. I always look at the temples, the spring hinges, the overall feel of the frame to make certain it doesn't feel flimsy. And we look for good warranties because we give our patient a one-year warranty."
Sofie Cortez, office manager for Larry Gates, OD, Pearsall, Texas
SMILEN 2087 from Smilen Eyewear
AMADEUS AZ21 from Optimate
"Metro Optics has two locations in the Bronx and an extremely diverse customer base. Some of our customers have low incomes; others have a great deal of disposable income. We are two out of only three optical stores in the Bronx with a Cartier dealership. We also have eight collections at the lower end and display at least 400 value products. For the lower end, we primarily deal with packages, ranging from $59 for a frame and single-vision lenses to $129 for a beta titanium frame and lenses."What customers look for depends on the economy. Last year, people were very concerned about keeping costs down. Now that the economy is improving, our customers are looking for more of an investment in their eyewear."When I deal with a value company, I purchase samples and then have employees from my wholesale business, Quick Care Frame Repair, which does frame repairs and customizing for other companies, check out the product before I make a commitment. We offer a one-year warranty in writing. If the frame breaks, the customer gets a new frame. If a customer comes back more than once in a year for repairs, I know we have a problem. I can love the shape and the colors, but if screw keeps coming out, I don't want that frame. Bad quality not only ultimately looses customers for us, it also waste time for the staff. As a result, we work with manufacturers and vendors we can depend on. I also need to know the after-sales ability of the companies. Can they replace the frame? Will they provide replacement parts? This is essential to my business."
John Bonizio, general manager, Metro Optics Eyewear, Bronx, N.Y.
JOAN COLLINS 9644 from New York Eye/A Hart Specialties Company
"In business since 1905, Jena Optical is a neighborhood optical shop with an optometrist on staff. We cater to a complete spectrum of customers from young to old, including many students. We do a lot of insurance business and work with unions. As a result, value product accounts for approximately 65 percent of our business. We also use value product in our special "buy one, get the second one half price" packages and other promotions. On average, a frame with single-vision lenses sells for $150 to $275. "Although people definitely want to look good, everyone is concerned about price and, of course, durability. So we select our vendors carefully. We want stylish, up-to-date frames that are consistent in quality."

Eugene von Guérard (1811–1901) is arguably Australia's, and certainly Victoria's, most important colonial landscape painter.
Born in Vienna and trained as
a painter in the European art centres of Rome, Naples and Düsseldorf; von Guérard migrated to Australia in 1852.
Von Guérard's meticulous landscapes are remarkable in their detail and much valued for their depiction of Australian and particularly, Victorian, landscapes of the mid-1800s. This exhibition demonstrates how von Guerard's artistic endeavours in Australia were informed by his interest in the geography, geology and vegetation of the Australian 'New World'. His representations of the forests of Gippsland and the Otways, the crater lakes of Victoria's volcanic Western District and the peaks of the Kosciuszko plateau hold important environmental significance today.
The work of von Guérard has not been the subject of a dedicated exhibition since 1980. Eugene von Guérard: Nature Revealed is a National Gallery of Victoria Touring Exhibition and features over 150 works, including many of von Guérard's beloved iconic landscapes, as well as several beautifully illustrated sketch books, and some never-before-seen paintings. Through his detailed brushstrokes and breathtaking compositions, visitors can explore the magnificent Australian, New Zealand and European landscapes he captured on his expeditions around the world.
Eugene von Guérard: Nature Revealed is on show in the Project and Orde Poynton Galleries until 15 July 2012.
A range of public programs accompanying the exhibition, including talks, a special book club event and 'tales for the very young', can be viewed on our events calendar.

From May to July 2012, the National Gallery will celebrate the second National Indigenous Art Triennial, unDisclosed. Over autumn and winter, Gallery visitors will have the opportunity to experience the dynamic visual expression of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. 20 artists have been selected for their commitment to excellence and their daring to explore new fields of practice and artistic vision, these artists both inform and redefine contemporary Indigenous art as we presently know it.
The twenty artists featured in UnDisclosed: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial are: Tony Albert, Vernon Ah Kee, Bob Burruwal, Michael Cook, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Nici Cumpston, Fiona Foley, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori, Gunybi Ganambarr, Julie Gough, Lindsay Harris, Jonathan Jones, Danie Mellor, Naata Nungurrayi, Maria Josette Orsto, Daniel Walbidi, Christian Thompson, Alick Tipoti, Lena Yarinkura and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu.
The exhibition's theme, 'unDisclosed', alludes to the spoken and the unspoken, the known and the unknown, what can be revealed and what cannot. It captures the duality of the disclosed and undisclosed embedded within the works and the exhibition as a whole. Viewers are invited to unearth the layers of hidden and subtle meanings and to place them alongside those that are conspicuous.
To celebrate the opening weekend and meet some of the artists in the 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial: unDisclosed join us for a range of events on 12 and 13 May. Artists in the exhibition will provide personal insights into their work through a range of artist talks on Saturday 12 May. On Sunday 13 May a series of drop in workshops lead by artists in the exhibition have been planned. View full event details on our online calendar.

We have two great events coming up in the next month in conjunction with Von Guerard: nature revealed. On Saturday 19 May there will be a tour of the exhibition with Roger Butler, Senior Curator, Australian Prints and drawings, followed by a high tea with the Austrian Ambassador in Gandel Hall.
Then on Wednesday 30 May join us for a special book club event with author Candice Bruce who will be discussing her novel and this season's book The Longing – a perfect companion to the exhibition. This will be followed by refreshments and a book signing.
You can now book these and all other upcoming members events online. You would have received an email earlier in the week with your username required to login. To make a booking please click here.
Be sure to check out the members offers page with new specials being added regularly. This week we have added two new offers exclusive to our members.
The Korewori River is a remote tributary flowing from the south into the Sepik River of Papua New Guinea. Even today, this rugged area of dense bush and marshland is seldom visited by outsiders. The Yimam people who live in this region have conceptualised a most extraordinary abstraction of the human form known as Yipwon. For a month late last year a recent Pacific Arts acquisition of a Yipwon was placed temporarily on display in the Abstract Expressionism Gallery in the company work by Pollock, Rothko and Tuckson.

'Yipwon' in front of Mark Rothko's '1957 # 20'
and 'Multiform' 1948 National Gallery of Australia Canberra © Mark Rothko/ARS. Licensed by Viscopy.
This Yipwon displays a bold reduction into a two dimensional plane. While the head and feet of the sculpture are apparent, the body is, upon first sight, equally striking and puzzling. Poised upon a single leg with dipped foot, the body of the Yipwon consists of opposing curved hook shapes around a central protrusion. The nature of Yipwon spirits was described as demonic and they were constantly eager for the hunt and for war.
Yipwon sculpture were dormant objects kept propped upright at the back of the mens' cult house and, when needed, offerings were ritually applied: small pieces of meat from game animals, herbs, lime, saliva and even blood drawn from a hunter's or warrior's body to encourage the Yipwon spirit to inhabit its wooden body. These applications are evident in the textured surface of the Gallery's Yipwon.
The finesse of Yipwon places them among the greatest sculptures from Melanesia. They created a sensation among artists and collectors in the United States of America and in Europe. Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, the sculptor David Smith and especially Australian Tony Tuckson all would have encountered and found inspiration in the otherworldly qualities of New Guinean sculpture.
This year's Masterpieces for the Nation Fund is dedicated to the acquisition of an impressive and important bark painting by prominent Kuninjku artist Yirawala. Kundaagi – red plains kangaroo was painted in 1962 and shows the critical moment when an evil mimih spirit captures Kundaagi the kangaroo, before ceremonially killing and eating him. This powerful painting depicts the moment of an ancestral story related to traditional burial ceremonies of the Kininjku people of western Arnhem land.
The quality of this painting is exceptional and its acquisition presents the opportunity to reunite the work with its original family of Yirawala barks currently in the national art collection.
To help us in our efforts to acquire this painting, please follow
this link or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Warm thanks are given to the many generous donors who have already contributed towards the Masterpieces for the Nation Fund 2012. All donors to the Fund will be invited to view the work at a special thank you event hosted by the Director of the National Gallery of Australia,
Ron Radford AM, in September this year.
In April the NGA, along with seven other collections in the Southern Hemisphere, joined the Google Art Project.
The initiative allows users to explore art collections from around the world. You can view works from over 151 cultural institutions in 40 countries.
The NGA has included 539 key works by 268 artists and is one of only 41 institutions where you can virtually 'walk through' the galleries using 'Museum mode'.
The Google Art Project allows the viewer to experience super high resolution, or 'gigapixel', images that show brushstroke details beyond what is visible to the naked eye. The key featured 'gigapixel' image from the NGA is Clifford Possum's Warlugulong 1977.
Join Candice Bruce for a discussion of her novel The Longing. The book is a perfect companion to the exhibition Eugene von Guérard: nature revealed, now on display in the Project and Orde Poynton Galleries.
The book follows concurrent narratives of 19th century and present day characters. Present day Curatorial Assistant, Cornelia Bremer travels to the Western District of Victoria as she negotiates loans for an NGV exhibition. Her research on the artist who is the subject of the exhibition uncovers the fascinating and devastating stories of two women involved in his life some 150 years earlier.
The book club discussion will be facilitated by Claudia Hyles. You can read Claudia's Canberra times review of The Longing here. Claudia says of the book 'It is not giving anything away to say that Eugene von Guérard's paintings are at the subject core. At least four, one at the very heart of the plot, are in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. Read in conjunction with a viewing of the National Gallery of Victoria's touring exhibition Eugene von Guérard: Nature Revealed, art sleuths will enjoy the detective work.'
Refreshments will be served and a book signing will be held at the conclusion of the event. A special discount of 20% on The Longing is offered in the National Gallery of Australia shop.
Wednesday 30 May 10.15 am $12 members | $15 non members | Bookings essential | Gandel Hall
In March the Gallery announced that nine million visitors have attended our travelling exhibitions across the country since the touring program commenced in 1988. The nine millionth visitor, Carl Schmidt, visited Australian portraits 1880–1960 at Gladstone Regional Art Gallery and Museum in Queensland, on 15 March. Mr Schmidt won a trip for two to Canberra to see Renaissance: 15th and 16th century paintings from the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo.
Since its official launch in 1988, the NGA's travelling exhibition program has seen 9 million people visit more than 117 travelling exhibitions at over 730 venues in all states and territories and, occasionally, overseas.
Congratulations also go to Margaret Marks, who won the Artonline prize pack for Fred Williams: Infinite horizons during it's display at the National Gallery of Victoria, 7 April to 5 August 2012.

Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Antarctic oceanic and tropospheric studies focus on the structure and processes of the ocean-atmosphere environment and their relationships with the global ocean, the atmosphere, and the marine biosphere. As part of the global heat engine, the Antarctic has a major role in the world's transfer of energy. Its ocean/atmosphere system is known to be both an indicator and a component of climate change.
Research sponsored by the Antarctic Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences program is intended to improve understanding of the oceanic environment at high latitudes, including global exchange of heat, salt, water, and trace elements, sea-ice dynamics, and tropospheric chemistry and dynamics. Major program elements include:
- Physical oceanography, concerned with understanding the dynamics and kinematics of the polar oceans, the effects of interface driving forces such as wind, solar radiation, and heat exchange, water-mass production and modification processes, ocean dynamics at the pack ice edge, and the effect of polynyas on ventilation.
- Chemical oceanography, concerned with chemical composition of sea water and its global speciation, reactions among chemical elements and compounds in the ocean, fluxes of material within ocean basins and at their boundaries, and the use of chemical tracers to study time and space scales of oceanic processes.
- Sea ice dynamics, including study of the material characteristics of sea ice down to the individual crystal level and the large-scale patterns of freezing, deformation, and melting. These processes have implications for both atmospheric and oceanic "climates." Advances in instrumentation, including remote sensing or telemetering of ice type, thickness, motion, and growth, should enable large scale dynamics of sea ice to be monitored over long periods.
- Meteorology, concerned with atmospheric circulation systems and dynamics. Research areas include the energy budget; atmospheric chemistry; transport of atmospheric contaminants to the Antarctic; and the role of large and mesoscale systems in global exchange of heat, momentum, and trace constituents.

Cute but not comfy
"Run very small, get a size up. Super snug on the toe. Loose in the leg but the zipper still broke. Returning and exchanging for a different brand."

Not what I hoped for
"I liked these boots better in the picture than I did on me. They fit well, I was just not happy with the way they looked on my legs. I didn't experience any problems with the zipper. I will be exchanging mine for a different pair."

Love her so much. She knows she must look foolish but she also doesn't give a sh-t. Why not have a good time? So many of her peers take themselves too seriously. Emma's like - sure, whatever, I can walk a pig down the carpet. Give me the lead. And I'll laugh my way through. And everyone will adore me.

By Beth Harris/The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In a season of firsts for their franchise, the Los Angeles Clippers are opening the playoffs with a familiar foe.
Only this time, they own home-court advantage against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams finished the regular season with identical 56-26 records and tied for fourth in the Western Conference.
Game 1 is Saturday night at Staples Center.
A year ago, the Clippers opened at Memphis and fell into a 27-point hole. They rallied to tie an NBA record for largest deficit overcome in the fourth quarter and won by one point.
"That game was crazy," Chauncey Billups, who was injured and watched from the bench, said Friday. "Safe to say that probably won't happen again."
Then, the Clippers won a Game 7 for the first time in franchise history in Memphis to advance.
"The biggest thing we have this year is more experience," All-Star guard Chris Paul said.
Billups is back in the lineup after missing chunks of the season with various injuries, most recently a strained groin. Coach Vinny Del Negro said Billups will be limited to 20-some minutes.
"I'm excited to be out here and not have to watch in a suit," he said. "We really grew up a lot during that playoff series last year."
Especially All-Star Blake Griffin, who got 11 playoff games under his belt last season before the Clippers were swept by San Antonio.
Griffin practiced Friday and received treatment on his back for the spasms that affected him in the regular-season finale.
"It's still a little tender, but it's not as bad as the other night," he said.
His back locked up while shooting before the game at Sacramento on Wednesday, but he was able to make two big plays at the end of the Clippers' four-point win.
Griffin will need to be at his best to handle All-Star counterpart Zach Randolph, known as an agitator.
"That's his whole M.O. is to frustrate guys, do his thing under the basket," Griffin said. "I like to play physical, too. I don't think I've lost my cool going against him yet."
Randolph was the league's fourth-leading rebounder with 11.2 per game. Griffin averaged 8.3.
"We need Blake to play at a high level and be smart about it," Del Negro said.
Randolph had just returned from an injury before last year's opening round series.
"I wasn't 100 percent last year. I'm healthy this year," he said. "My body feels good, and my confidence is up, so we're going to go play."
The Clippers won the season series 3-1 this year, including two wins in Memphis.
"It's teams that know each other so well, it's going to be on small details and small things in the game," Grizzlies center Marc Gasol said.
Paul expects to see the same physical style that the teams played in the regular season.
"We got to pick up the tempo and stay out of foul trouble," he said. "If we play the way we know to play we don't have to worry about what they do. We can impose our will. It's the execution. Once we get stops and get out in transition, we're tough to stop."
Paul is the obvious target for the Grizzlies' defense since he orchestrates the Clippers' offense, whether it's alley-oop passes for dunks by Griffin and DeAndre Jordan or setting up Jamal Crawford for a 3-pointer or creating his own shot.
"We basically just want just corral him and try to force him to make tough shots," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said. "We know he's an All-Star, and we're definitely going to have to have our antennas up when he's on the floor."
The Grizzlies' starting lineup is the same as last year with the exception of Tayshaun Prince, who replaced Rudy Gay after a midseason trade. Their bench is different, with the additions of Jerryd Bayless, Ed Davis and Austin Daye, along with recent pickup former Clipper Keyon Dooling.
Paul downplayed the perceived dislike the two teams have for each other.
"I don't know too many of them personally," he said. "I just want to beat you. I don't care about you off the court."

Perhaps in response to this pressure, all three of the works in this program were influenced by their composer's love affair with a particular pastoral region.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Video Game 'Kingpin' Trailer Introduces Tons Of Non-Film Foes [Video]
The release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is just around the corner, and if there's one thing we know about that movie, it's that there are a lot of villains involved. Electro, the Rhino, the Green Goblin, some weird-ass dancing baby -- they're all showing up to give the web-slinger some problems. But is that really enough bad guys?
The producers of the video game tie-in certainly don't think so. As revealed in the latest trailer for the upcoming Activision title, Spider-Man's going to be throwing webs and flying headscissors takedowns at all those foes, plus the Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter and the Kingpin. And as an added bonus, Activision and Beenox have made the Kingpin hilariously huge. Check out the trailer below!

I am looking for a SAH parent who would be willing to watch my son during the day. Our current daycare provider is not on board with our nutrition choices (ie: breastmilk only, no solids yet) and thinks he should "cry it out" when he is upset. I can't stand the thought of my little boy not having his needs met. Who better to watch my son than an attached parent! Please email me or pass my email address on to anyone you might know in Johnson City. Thanks, Leah

So So
I hope the power upgrades don't come like they did for the Arrancar battles. Hitsu almost loses to a random Arrancar initially, and then takes out the 3rd Espada. Hope its more consistent. Also, I hope Grimmjow will make an appearance.
Urahara FTW again, SS needs to get more people like him.
People calling battles involving characters outside the central figures of protagonist, antagonist, Head Captains that actually showcase innovations and introductions of new abilities as "fodder" are the same people complaining that there's never any development outside the center.
A nice, fast paced chapter that brought several elements into play. I appreciate the shine Kido is getting at the moment and Bazz B continues to impress.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
I have a feeling when Ichigo comes back there will be dead people all around him. Even with there bankai, I don't see them putting up a good fight, unless they can incorporate what they learn and tie it into there bankai. I wonder if Toshiro can wove his Ice in his bankai form, but I don't see it being powerful enough to stop Bazz B flames, if he can stop Yamamoto's then I think Toshiro has more then he can deal with. I just hope Ichigo pulls a superman and lands on the battlefield and the ground around him crumbles.
I'm gonna make a wild stab/guess and Postulate that the method to retrieve your Bankai is to stab the Quincy who stole it, or the disc they uesed to steal it with your Zanpakutou, and then Call out it's name.
Just a wild guess. The shinigami has to destroy the disc used by the quincies.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Hmmmm, maybe it's more fun, like a Shinigami has to enter the inner world of a Quincy and then battle that person for the dominance over the Bankai.
I'm a little disappointed that a help from Urahara came so fast. I was hoping that Shinigami will feel a bit more dread for a little longer. I guess they can still feel a lot of dread when they realize that their Bankais are not enough to defeat the Quinces in their Complete Holy Forms, in similar manner as most Bankai weren't enough to defeat the high ranking Arrancars after they released their forms (beside Stark).
It's also worth considering that likely only a Shinigai whose Bankai was stolen, can retrieve it, probably, thus meaning that Yamamoto's Bankai will still remain within Bach's grasp, making him a truly fearsome opponent.
When you combine his own attack power + blood attack enchantments + flamed blade + his own defense + absorption power + blood defense enchantments + sun armor + other power (like spells and the dead rising) + Final Complete Mode + Fusion with something added to it (perhaps Yamamto's bankai itself) = probably above FGT-Mugetsu Ichigo, or so, it depends on what he might absorb, kukukuku.
So, anyone wondered about the true reason why Rukia was taken to the SKRealm ? Well there might be a possibility regarding her experience and innate ability as a host for the H-cube, which might prove also capable of housing, let's say something more God-like ? Or she is simply the second strongest VC, or at least has the highest potential before or right after Renji.
Its good that hitsugaya developed a couple of new techniques.... though to no avail he is still weak without bankai........ got his ass handed down to him.... and at the very last urahara will come to the rescue leave it to him to think of something....... hachwald is right though for lecturing nanao.... well its not nanao's fault or the 1st division if some captains aren't proficient in kidou..... its their reiatsu that makes them captain imo.... their battle power.... i don't think someone like kenpachi could learn kidou even if nanao, hachigen and tessai teaches him for 100 years lols
The disappearing reiatsu stuff is = to defeated or almost dying.... same as hachwald said to byakuya when he almost died or he should have died tnx to kubo lols.........
Bach did say that even though they could steal Yamamoto Genrussai's Bankai, they didn't because they couldn't control it. I am not too sure that they can control it even now. In any case, controling Yama Jii's bankai may not be so much an issue if your goal is to burn everything down.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

You'll have the opportunity to see wildlife and wilderness up close as you are surrounded by the majestic beauty of the remote Tongass National Forest. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and remote wilderness exploration are highlights of this adventure. Spend days cruising among massive icebergs, hiking into wildlife-rich forests; standing atop a glacier; kayaking, paddle boarding and riding a skiff along a dramatic fjord; learning about the Tlingit culture; and whale watching. In between exploring Alaska's wilderness, enjoy life onboard by relaxing in the hot tub or sauna, and socializing with friends in the lounge.

Prices from
$999,999,999 to $0
Welcome aboard! Meet your crew, get settled in, and keep watch for eagles as you cruise through the Tongass Narrows out of Ketchikan.
Discover living history in Kasaan—one of the most authentic Haida villages in Alaska. Learn the importance of carving, gaze up at totem poles coloring the town, and hear their stories. Visit the longhouse and carvers' shed where the art of storytelling, carving and restoring totems is passed on. Along with its small fishing fleet, this rustic community continues to thrive on the outer reaches of the wild Alaska coastline. Explore the area on foot keeping an eye for eagles and sea birds.
Wake in a remote cove surrounded by breathtaking Tongass National Forest—the largest national forest in the US. Take a "wild" Alaska hike winding through high forest on an old logging trail, and find your way to El Capitan Cave, the largest known cave in Alaska and one of the largest mapped caves in the Americas. Locals—bears, harbor seals, humpback and orca whales, deer, eagles, humans too—enjoy the calm and serenity of the island. And chances are, you will too. Take time to take it in from a kayak and learn from locals about making a life in remote Alaska.
It's Captain's Choice today as you explore the intricate passages and shores along Chatham Strait's Kuiu or Baranof Islands. Join your expedition team on (or in!) the water. Conditions permitting, take to the water by kayak, skiff, or snorkel. Snorkeling is optional, but hidden beneath the surface lies a magical array of sea life only seen from below. Take a deep breath and go for it! Today's discoveries will be within some of the most untouched wilderness of the Tongass National Forest.
Lush forest, spectacular views, play time, and wildlife—they are all in abundance in Frederick Sound. Keep watch along the coastline for birds, wolves, and black bears. With many secluded coves to choose from, you may slip into the waters of Deep Cove, Patterson or Saginaw Bay, or perhaps another hidden gem to explore by skiff or paddle a kayak. Gear up for snorkeling or guided treks. This evening, toast another day of amazing adventure with a cold microbrew or cocktail.
There'll be plenty of wildlife viewing today. The Brothers, a pair of tiny, rocky islands at the confluence of Stephen's Passage and Frederick Sound, are home to some of Alaska's most abundant wildlife, including a haulout for Stellar sea lions. The area is also the summer feeding ground for the largest concentration of humpback whales in the northern hemisphere. Keep watch for orca, humpbacks, and porpoise.
Snow covered mountains, glowing blues, and the white thunder of calving ice take your breath away at the face of Dawes Glacier. As you glide through Endicott Arm you'll likely find a few seals taking respite on the glaciers smaller "bergy bits." Tides permitting, explore the narrow passage of Ford's Terror.
While others end their adventure and new guests join later in the day, you will spend the day off the boat. Enjoy an included lunch in town and explore all that historic Juneau has to offer. A complimentary laundry service is provided today. Embark this afternoon, and keep watch for eagles as cruise through the Tongass National Forest.
One of America's crown jewel national parks is yours to explore and marvel at—Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. A National Park Ranger joins you to explore coves and corners of the bay that most visitors miss. Tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, terminating before you in the waters of Glacier Bay.
Paddle a kayak and be awed at the face of a massive glacier. Go on a boot-sucking trek through sandbars and rainforest. And ride a skiff along shore for an up-close exploration of Glacier Bay. You'll find sea lions, mountain goats, sea otters, bears, moose, eagles, and spectacular scenic backdrops. Linger near South Marble Island to spot the many species of rare sea birds that call this area home. Keep your eyes on the water and the island for brightly-colored puffins and Black Oystercatchers. Stop in Bartlett Cove for a visit to the Park Service's Headquarters.
Set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Join the Captain on the bridge or the Expedition Leader out on deck in search of marine mammals. Camera in hand, begin your land and sea exploration of these remote reaches. Ride the skiffs for a closer inspection of the rugged and wild coastline with eyes set on the shore for possible bear sightings.
Meander along the spectacular waterfall coast of Chichagof Island. In the expedition spirit, marvel at the grand scenery as our crew expertly guides you through unsung, glacier-carved fjords. Anchor in remote waters for an opportunity to lower the kayaks and skiffs. Explore the shoreline on an intertidal walk or forest exploration with your guides.
Today's agenda is flexible. Perhaps you'll explore a tidal inlet by kayak; feel the burn of a rain forest hike; or maybe you'll have the opportunity to get up close to a humpback while skiffing in a secluded cove. The possibilities are endless—your Captain knows best.
Peril Strait runs 50 miles from Chatham Strait to Salisbury Sound. This haven for small boats is scenically highlighted by a very narrow connecting passageway called Sergius Narrows and an opening at Hoonah Sound. This historic and wildlife-rich waterway is a great place to watch the shoreline for bears, the waters for otters and whales, and to look skyward for eagles. The passage narrows to only 300 feet in one spot (24 feet deep). After an adventurous, but "un-perilous" day, toast your voyage with a festive Farewell Dinner and a "photo journal" of your trip presented by your Expedition Leaders.
Gather for breakfast this morning as you cruise into Russian-influenced Sitka for disembarkation. Transfer to the airport or begin the next leg of your own adventure.
Due to the nature of the exploration, the itinerary is a guideline and may change in order to maximize wildlife and natural encounters. Variations in itinerary and the order of days may occur.

Two women at Dyess arrested on child endangerment charges for alleged unsanitary home conditions
DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas - Two women living with an active duty Dyess airman were charged with three counts of child endangerment Thursday after police deemed her home, located on Dyess Air Force Base, "unlivable."
Dyess officials called Abilene police for assistance at the home in the 170 block of Virginia Street. around 11:45 p.m. Thursday.
According to an arrest report, the home where 26-year-old Britni Valdez and 22-year-old Kayla J. Phillips were residing was filled with piles of trash, "filthy" laundry and dog feces from seven dogs. One of the two women is the unidentified airman's spouse, but an Abilene Police Department news release failed to name which one.
Valdez and Phillips were immediately taken into custody. At the time of the arrest, Valdez had three children living in the home.
Abilene police said officials with Dyess Security Forces apprehended the male active-duty member who was living in the home.
As of Friday, Valdez remains in the Taylor County Jail on bond totaling $60,000.
The arrest comes more than five months after another woman residing at Dyess Air Force Base -- Tiffany Nicole Klapheke -- was arrested after her toddler died of apparent neglect. She was indicted by a Taylor County grand jury this past December on three counts of injury to a child.
The grand jury indicted Klapheke for failing to provide food to Tamryn, her 22-month-old daughter. The indictment also held that Klapheke did not provide adequate medical attention for Tamryn, and that she starved the child.
We will continue to bring you further details as they become available.

All Around Fantastic HairdryerThis hairdryer is incredible. My mother is Asian, and my father is Caucasian with curly hair. My hair is a combination of their hair types, which means it is slightly coarse, wavy, and prone to frizz. On top of that, I used to highlight it, which made it even frizzier. I used to spend 15-20 minutes blow drying my hair, and then I would spend another 15-20 minutes flat ironing it. I also had to use one or more products to (try to) achieve smooth yet non-flat hair, not always with success. Let me tell you what this hairdryer has done for me. First, on the second to lowest setting, it cut my drying time in half. Second, without using any product, it gave my hair volume. Third, without using any product and only using my fingers to straighten (no brush, which can be damaging on wet hair), it made my hair smooth and straight (although my bobbed hair does naturally curl under at the ends). I no longer need to flat iron my hair afterward. Fourth, it made my hair feel incredibly soft. A few notes: one, this hairdryer is lightweight but does feel heavier than the 0.79 pounds claimed in the description, and two, Folica has incredible customer service. I ordered this on Monday and received it on Wednesday.Jun 17, 2010Sophia

I Love This Hair Dryer!I have used a lot of professional hair dryers and I am so in love this this little one! First, it is super light weight and very compact compared to most other professional dryers and it is just as powerful. Don't let the 1600 watts fool you, this seemed just as powerful and actually dried my hair faster and smoother then 1900 watt top professional dryers. This worked just as well for me as the Sedu Revolution 4000 dryer but this baby is lighter and more compact which I really like. My curly hair is straightened with ease with the Sedu 3600. Highest Recommendation, I love it!Jun 9, 2010Hair Obssesed

The Best Hair Dryer I Have Ever Tried!This is by far the BEST hair dryer I have ever used and I have used many. It is extremely light weight and compact but don't let the small size fool you, this is one power hair dryer. It dries my hair faster (and it looks better) then any of the other hair dryers I have used, including other dryers that are 1800 watts and more and dryers that are more then double the size & weight of this petite yet extremely effective hair dryer. This dryer certainly packs a powerful punch for 1600 and it dries my hair with no frizz and seems to smooth my hair without damaging it or using excessive heat. I can not recommend this hair dryer enough. I have never been able to do my hair so fast and easily. This dryer works equally as well as the Sedu 4000 dryer but it is even more compact and much lighter so I prefer this one. Whenever I use this Sedu 3600 Green hair dryer and my Sedu Pro Ionic flat iron I have a really good hair day! This is absolutely the best hair dryer you can buy!May 28, 2010Morgan

Amazing Hair Dryer!!Wow! What an amazing little dryer!! S0 LIGHT but yet so powerful!! Dried my thick curly hair straight in an incredible 6 Mins!! Sleek, shiny & frizz free! This is the perfect iron, don't let the petite size fool you, this is one powerful dryer. It seems just as powerful as the Sedu Revolution 4000 dryer and it seems MUCH lighter and amazingly it dried my hair in close to half the time and it looks just as amazing! It is also not as loud as the other Sedu Revolution dryer. This is the perfect dryer for fast, sleek, smooth and silky frizz free gorgeous hair! I highly recommend this iron, I couldn't be happier with the incredible results and on top of it this is the cutest hair dryer ever! On top of it all, its GREEN!!! AMAZIING!!! I LOVE IT!!!Apr 8, 2010RebeccaHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Good DryerOverall it is a good dryer. It is lightweight, but the cord is long and heavy (designed for salon use I guess). Not as powerful as I would have thought, but does the job. I originally purchased the Sedu Revolution pro and returned it because it was heavier and louder than I wanted. Compared to the Revolution, this dryer is definitely not as powerful,but is quieter. The Revolution was like a tornado--very strong blower. Maybe even too much wind power for my needs (lightly dry hair after showering).Apr 8, 2010Helen

Not As Great As I Had Hoped...after much research and thoroughly reading reviews, i decided to give this dryer a try. i was eager to put this to use but then was quite disappointed to find that it wasn't as great as I expected. maybe it was my high expecations but my hair didn't look drastically different from when i used my conair 1875 ceramic dryer. don't get me wrong, it DID look better, but not by that much. yes, it's light and small but because of this, the air isn't as powerful so it took me a quite awhile to dry my long hair. also, becuase i like to use cool air to dry, i found the cool button very annoyiing as it didn't stick out. i had to press it down on it the whole time. if you're looking for volume, this is great. but for the other reasons listed above, i had to return it. i think this will be great for someone with shoulder lenghth or ashort bob haircut that needs volume.Apr 7, 2010Hk

No More Scalp Burn!!I bit the bullet and purchased this professional ionic hair dryer that was more than I have ever spent on a blow dryer. I had shoulder surgery and needed a lightweight, more efficient hair dryer. Not to mention my 8 year old daughter (who has sensory issues) has curly long hair down to lower back and loves to have it blow dried straight. This process always made her cry from the extreme heat on her head. This blow dryer does not cause her scalp to burn!!! It gives steady warm airflow without the pain of the heat - hair dries more quickly too. What terrific technology and product. It was worth every penny!!Mar 21, 2010Lori

Too Good To Be True!It's indeed small, powerful and quiet! I have medium length fine hair and lots of it! This little machine dries it quickly. I'm also very impressed with the long cord.Mar 15, 2010Bethany

Not GreatThis dryer has a nice size and weight, but just didn't perform well enough for the money. It dried my medium length, fine, straight hair quickly but left it without any volume. It was difficult to get it any curl in it even with a round brush so it didn't get hot enough for me. I have tried a few different Sedu dryers, and while they seem built like quality products, the performance just wasn't there for me.Mar 11, 2010Laura / Chicago, IL

Very Good For Thick Wavy HairI have long (down to my waist), thick, wavy hair, and the frizz that easily comes with it. I prefer to air dry my hair but sometimes it's just too cold and I have to blow dry it. My old dryer left my hair puffy, coarse and I could tell that it was damaging it. This dryer dries pretty quickly, leaves my hair very soft, shiny, and NOT FRIZZY! I can definitely tell the difference between this dryer and drug store dryers.Mar 4, 2010EleonoreHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair / Long Hair

City of Hermiston May Send Misdemeanors to Circuit Court
The city of Hermiston is considering prosecuting misdemeanor crimes in circuit court.
They're currently handled in Municipal Court, where the costs of prosecution have rapidly increased in recent years. In addition to saving money, Police Chief Jason Edmiston says the move would give the district attorney a more complete understanding of a person when deciding how to prosecute them.
The city council has forwarded the issue to its public safety committee to consider the proposal further.

In-Game Blog/Box score
DENVER - University of Denver men's lacrosse sophomore Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) scored three times and won 14-of-20 face-offs, leading the No. 6/7 Pioneers to an 11-6 win over The Ohio State University Buckeyes in front of a season-high 3,372 Saturday afternoon in the Eighth Annual Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Showdown at INVESCO Field at Mile-High.
"Ohio State gave us some challenges, but we were able to make adjustments and played really well on both ends today," said head coach Bill Tierney. "This was a good team victory and one of our best overall performances of the year."
Sophomore Cameron Flint (Georgetown, Ontario) added three goals and an assist for the Pioneers (9-2, 4-0 ECAC). Senior Todd Baxter (Eden Prairie, Minn.) scored twice and tallied two assists and junior Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) added two goals, an assist and grabbed five ground balls for the Pioneers.
Freshman goalkeeper Jamie Faus (Lakeville, Conn.) made 12 saves for the Pioneers. Freshman Jeremy Noble (Orangeville, Ontario) joined Matthews in giving Denver a 39-21 advantage in ground balls, adding four of his own in the win. Baxter, senior Jeff Brown (Cohasset, Mass.) and freshman John Zurlo (Bernardsville, N.J.) caused two turnovers each for Denver.
Brock Sorenen scored twice for Ohio State (6-6, 1-2 ECAC). Logan Schuss and Jeff Tundo recorded a goal and an assist for the Buckeyes and Joe Bonanni forced two turnovers. Greg Dutton made 11 saves in the loss.
The Pioneers jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Baxter scored 26 seconds into the contest, the fastest opening goal by DU this season. Noble tallied a goal of his own less than a minute later. Ohio State scored two unanswered goals early in the second quarter.
After the Buckeye goal, Denver scored three unanswered goals, one from Flint and two from Matthews who is now twelve points shy of DU's all-time Division I scoring record. Ohio State scored midway through the second session and the Pioneers led 5-3 at intermission.
Denver opened up the second half with five unanswered goals, the first coming from Flint just over a minute into the third quarter. Denver added goals from Baxter, another from Flint and two from Carraro, taking a 10-3 before the Buckeyes scored with 1:07 left in the third quarter.
The Pioneers continued their quick scoring when Carraro tucked one away five seconds into the fourth quarter, DU's quickest quarter-opening goal of the year, to give DU an 11-4 lead. Ohio State scored twice before the end of the game, but Denver left INVESCO Field with an 11-6 win.
Denver ended with a 36-31 shot advantage and won 15-of-21 face-offs. Ohio State was 0-of-2 with an extra-man.
The Pioneers travel to Bellarmine on Saturday, April 23 for another ECAC game. Game time is set for 11 a.m. MT. Fans can follow the action through Live Stats and CoverItLive, DU's interactive in-game blog, all through DenverPioneers.com.
