New Play Explores The Darker Side Of Sunny San Diego's History
Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Aired 8/8/12 on KPBS Midday Edition.
Mark Hiss, playwright of "Talking Woman."
Kevin Six, director of "Talking Woman."
"Happiness Happens." Recently that was the official catchphrase for tourism in San Diego. And that kind of light, laid-back, some might say innocuous vision of San Diego is often promoted by city officials.
But sunny San Diego has a few clouds in its background. And it's this darker history of the city that's explored in a new play that gets its first public reading this Saturday in University Heights.
"Talking Woman," a noir romance inspired by actual events, tells the story of a haunted newspaper photographer and a burlesque dancer from Tijuana who navigate passion and politics in post-World War II San Diego. The play is set in 1949, which according to playwright Mark Hiss was an interesting year in the city's history.
"Mission Bay was completed, the first TV station was founded, and the city got rid of its trolley system and added more buses and cars," says Hiss. "San Diego was changing from a rough-and-tumble seaport city to more technological, from blue-collar to white-collar."
Hiss was inspired by an archival photo that he discovered at the San Diego History Center, while working as editor of Performances Magazine, a monthly publication distributed at local theater productions.
"We used to do a picture feature on the back page (of the magazine). I found this picture of a burlesque dancer and it blew me away," says Hiss. The photo (above left) looks like two people but it's really one woman dressed as half lady and half devil. "She would perform a burlesque routine called 'The Devil and the Lady' where she would do a tango with herself. The devil side would pluck her clothes off to the music," says Hiss.
The lady in the picture is the basis for the play's lead character, Esme (short for Esmeralda). Although not much is known about her (for example her name or where she's from; Hiss made up her name and made her from Tijuana), Hiss did learn that she was the first person targeted under a new (at the time) law banning obscene and lewd behavior in San Diego. This event, along with the subsequent raid of the Hollywood Burlesque Theater where this dancer performed, are included in "Talking Woman."
While the play looks at historic forces that have shaped San Diego — from the border to labor issues — it's also an homage to 1940s-style burlesque. Though you won't see any burlesque at this Saturday's staged reading at Twiggs in University Heights. The music and dancing will come later, once Hiss and director Kevin Six see how the play unfolds during the live reading. Audience feedback will be more than welcome during the "chat back" at the end of the reading and both Hiss and Six are eager to see the public's reactions.
KPBS Midday Edition speaks with Hiss and Six about "Talking Woman" and the history that inspired it. The reading takes place Saturday at 7 p.m. at Twiggs Green Room, next to Twiggs Bakery & Coffeehouse, in University Heights.

Missionaccomplished | August 8, 2012 at 1:09 p.m. ― 4 years, 6 months ago
So, HELLO, who is producing this? I recall seeing something about submissions for plays about San Diego (limiting) but I don't remember if it was the Playwrights Project people (now that they finally opened it up to other age groups) or was it another theater organization?
Syntropic | August 11, 2012 at 6:34 a.m. ― 4 years, 6 months ago
Congratulations on developing a story/play based on the dichotomy of the San Diego region. The Zoro Gardens of the 1935 Exposition held in Balboa Park were another example of the split personality of the Region. While a major attraction of the Exposition, it was raided by police and shut down.
There are many ways that the writers and actors can lead the audience through a short vignette glimpse of the cultural and social struggles embodied within the characters. I wish them success. Perhaps one day the Region will resolve the "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" saga that this burlesque character's story exemplifies.

More than any other big city in the nation, San Diego's homeless providers are relying on an outdated, less effective strategy to reduce the region's homeless population.
National homelessness advocates are pushing cities to dial back on transitional housing and ramp up so-called housing-first programs, which focus on quickly housing people rather than months- or years-long interventions first. Transitional housing programs are focused on helping homeless people stabilize before they access permanent housing; housing-first programs are like the name suggests — they first provide the housing and then follow up with services based on a person's needs.
Federal officials have said the housing-first method works best and are urging cities to shift to that model or risk losing federal cash.
This presents a challenge for San Diego, which rose in national homeless population rankings this year. The region has a larger share of transitional housing stock than any other top-20 metro area in the nation.

Stewart asks donors to help restore National Mall
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are taking on causes more serious than a mock feud when they lead dueling political rallies on the National Mall later this month.
"The Daily Show" host announced Monday on NPR that he will ask attendees at his Oct. 30 "Rally to Restore Sanity" to donate to help restore the National Mall. The park has a $400 million backlog of deferred maintenance.
On his rally website, Stewart says "we're a little afraid that you might make a mess."
Stewart selected the Trust for the National Mall as his charity of choice. The group's president, Caroline Cunningham, says they're grateful for the exposure.
Colbert, host of "The Colbert Report," is asking attendees at his "Keep Fear Alive" march to donate to Donors Choose, which raises money for school supplies.

ST. LOUIS -- So Taguchi, one of the St. Louis Cardinals' unexpected regulars due to injuries, is doing more than his part to keep the team on top of the National League.
Taguchi matched career highs with four hits and three RBI, and Jeff Suppan pitched seven strong innings to win for the third time in four starts in an 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
"We said last year that if he played more, it looked like he would do more," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "And he's playing more and doing more."
Jim Edmonds had a pair of run-scoring singles, one on a bunt, and Albert Pujols had two hits and an RBI to help the Cardinals beat the Diamondbacks for the 11th time in 13 games over the last three seasons.
Luis Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Arizona, a season-worst eight games below .500. That was the only damage against Suppan (12-8), who matched his season best with seven strikeouts and walked none.
"He's not a guy that's going to blow the ball by you, but he has good command of all his pitches," Gonzalez said. "He works you in and out and around the strike zone.
"After that one pitch to me, the cutter in, I didn't see that cutter anymore from him."
Taguchi, starting because outfielders Larry Walker and Reggie Sanders are on the 15-day disabled list, had his second career four-hit game and first since May 20, 2004, at the New York Mets. He has six three-RBI games, five this season, and is batting .424 (25-for-59) with runners in scoring position.
"Since I've been here, he's the MVP of the team," said reserve outfielder Skip Schumacher, called up last week from the minors.
Taguchi singled and scored in the first, doubled and scored in the third, hit an RBI double in the sixth and a two-run double in the seventh. In 59 starts, he's hitting .331. He also is batting .500 (16-for-32) during a career-best nine-game hitting streak. He is hitting .303 overall in 264 at-bats after getting 179 at-bats last year.
"Tony gives me a lot of playing time, so I'm very happy," Taguchi said. "I'm not a regular. Larry and Reggie are on the DL and when they come back, I'm back on the bench."
Suppan gave up five hits and kept the ball down, allowing only two flyouts and striking out the 3-4-5 hitters in the sixth, to beat the Diamondbacks for the second time in a little more than a month. He also won July 5 in Arizona.
"I don't remember the last time I struck out the side," Suppan said. "Tonight was one of those nights where I was changing speeds better than I have in a while."
Brad Halsey (8-9) lasted 5 1/3 innings and gave up five runs, four earned, and nine hits. It was the second consecutive shaky outing for Halsey, who has allowed 10 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings during that stretch after going 3-0 with a 1.62 ERA in his previous five games.
"You work hard each week and sometimes things get a little bit out of synch and you work hard just to get them back to be where they need to be," Halsey said. "I was a little bit off tonight and sometimes I'm going to be on and get hit around like that."
Halsey was in immediate trouble when David Eckstein walked and Taguchi singled to open the first. They pulled off a double steal on Mark Grudzielanek's strikeout. Eckstein scored on Edmonds' bunt single, and Taguchi also came home when catcher Kelly Stinnett threw the ball away for an error.
Taguchi and Pujols hit consecutive one-out doubles in the third for a 3-0 lead before Gonzalez's 17th homer, and first in nine games, cut the deficit to one in the fourth.
Three consecutive two-out singles in the fifth by Pujols, Grudzielanek and Edmonds made it 4-2. Taguchi's RBI double in the sixth off Greg Aquino gave the Cardinals a three-run cushion and Eckstein added a run-scoring single off Brandon Lyon in the seventh.
Grudzielanek batted cleanup for the second time in his career, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in an injury-riddled lineup minus four regulars. He also hit fourth on Aug. 9 against the Brewers, driving in two runs. ... A crowd of 42,198 was the Cardinals' 29th sellout and the 22nd game in a row with more than 40,000 in attendance. ... Cardinals starters lead the major leagues by far with 64 wins. The White Sox are second with 55.

Americans like the idea of shorter presidential campaigns and party primaries held on the same day, a new poll finds.
Six in 10 Americans say they'd vote for a ballot initiative that would limit presidential campaigns to five weeks in late September through October, according to the Gallup Poll.
If they could have their say on how nominees are chosen, 58% say they would opt for a one-day national primary instead of votes being cast state-by-state at different times in the year.
It's hard to see how either idea would become reality. There are legal issues to consider, not to mention getting consensus from states and political parties to change the system.
For example, every four years the states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina get into a fuss whenever another state tries to move up in the primary calendar as a way to gain influence. The GOP set rules ahead of the 2012 election, and there were states that rebuffed them.
While a shorter presidential campaign would no doubt be a welcome idea among some candidates (and the journalists who cover them), that's also hard to imagine. Already, Republicans such as Rand Paul are making trips to Iowa, a Democratic super PAC is trying to draft Hillary Rodham Clinton, and public opinion polls are being conducted on hypothetical matchups for an election that is more than three years away.

HP Photosmart R927 review at Steves Digicams
HP Photosmart R927 review at Steves Digicams :
Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the HP Photosmart R927 digital camera. The HP R927 camera incorporates a 8.2 Megapixel CCD image sensor and offers a HP Precision 3x optical lens, 8x digital zoom providing a total zoom of 24x. The HP Photosmart R927 digital camera features HP Design Gallery that enables consumers to add creative effects and borders to their photos right on the camera. Furthermore HP unveiled automatic in-camera red-eye removal and an improved version of HP Image Advice, which immediately provides real-time feedback to users about how to improve a specific picture the next time it is captured.
HP Photosmart R927 - Optical zoom
According to Steve Digicams: "Like its predecessors, I was pleased with the R927's ergonomics. While it's compact enough to fit nicely in your pants pocket or handbag, it's still large enough to offer a comfortable feel in your hands. Most of the controls are well placed and functional, and the menu system is very legible and logically organized. Unlike most consumer cameras that feature a 2 or 2.5-inch LCD, the R927 offers a huge 3.0-inch display that takes up more than 2/3 of the back of the camera."
HP Photosmart R927 digital camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "The R927's image quality was OK for an 8-megapixel model. The majority of our outdoor samples were sharp and showed good overall exposure. I was very impressed with the portrait ability, capturing awesome outdoor "people" shots when using the Fill-in flash mode. The R927's Macro capabilities were very good. While you may not be able to focus as close as some models (approx. 4.6 in.), it does produce sharp images when shooting within its limits and also does a good job of "throttling down" the flash to ensure you get an optimum exposure."

Very well organised and knowledgeable.

Even on a rainy and cloudy day, this was a great tour of the harbor and surrounding locations, islands. We had a very knowledgable guide who answered questions along with her narrative. Comfortable boat kept warm inside when we needed it and a great way to see much of Sydney environs in a short time. Definitely recommend it - and a walk around the harbor area as well. Great breakfast at the Daily News!

Language Idioms, Yearnings For A Simpler Time
April 12th, 2016
As the php language grows and evolves, I wonder if it's losing itself in an attempt to be "good".

Some of these bad programmers have drastically changed their lives, enabling them to have opportunities they would have never imagined. In an effort to seek acceptance, the php community and language have gone through many changes. But at what cost are all of these changes?

Believe it or not, I'll be paying attention to the Red Sox in September.
No, I'm not watching for the latest silly, mindless drama or to see if the team can reverse last September and go 20-7.
I'm actually watching because there are -- believe it or not -- many compelling storylines that may give insight to what the Red Sox look like in 2013 and going forward.
For the first time since 1997, September baseball will have no impact on the Sox' chances for winning a World Series.
They are out of it. Kaput. Done. Finito.
We all know the news out of the clubhouse and the front offices on Yawkey Way keeps getting worse and worse. This is an organization perceived to be in complete disarray with no idea how to solve its most critical problems.
But I come to bring a ray of sunshine on an otherwise gloomy front.
There are very positive stories and relevant storylines that merit very close attention in the final month while other teams are making a final push for the postseason.
In between covering the Patriots day-in and day-out and keeping my eye on the looming Sept. 15 NHL CBA deadline, I've come up with 10 Red Sox storylines that bear close monitoring.
Scott Podsednik -- He has come to Boston and done nothing but impress with his work ethic, professionalism in the clubhouse and production on the field. He went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 10-inning loss and now has hit safely in nine of his 10 starts with the Red Sox.
"I don't know where it came from," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Thursday when asked about Podsednik's remarkable conditioning and speed at 36 years of age. "Reports on him were so-so about how he was doing before here. He's really been a producer, very determined. A real gentleman, much more so than I remember him years ago.
"A little surprised, until you watch him. He practices running. A lot of guys just run. He actually works at running properly. He doesn't want to lose it."
In 12 home games, the fans have seen the best of him, as he's gone 17-for-38 (.447). He has hits in 21 of 25 starts for the Red Sox, going 36-for-91 (.396). Will he come back to Boston in 2013 as a bench player? Here's something to keep in mind: He has a .386 career average at Fenway. Carl Crawford likely is not going to be at full strength in spring training and at the start of next season after Tommy John surgery, so Podsednik could be a very safe -- and reliable -- choice to fill in. Yes, he'll be 37 next Opening Day, but if he keeps himself in the incredible shape he's in, there's no reason not to take a chance on him if another team doesn't first.
Prediction: He'll be offered a better deal somewhere else and leave.
Jacoby Ellsbury -- This is a fascinating one. Could this be the last month we see him in a Red Sox uniform? Might the Red Sox consider trading him this offseason if the return is good enough? Ellsbury will hit free agency after 2013, and a good September might increase his value just enough to remind people of his 2011 potential when he was runner-up in MVP voting behind Justin Verlander. So far this year, he's struggling badly to regain that form after separating his right shoulder in the home opener against the Rays on April 13. He's batting .257 in 45 games with just one home run and seven steals. His OPS has slipped to .660 after posting a career-best .928 in 2011.
"He's not feeling for it," Valentine said. "He's due to get really hot. The timing's so close, I think, that it's going to happen."
Added Valentine: "I talked to [hitting coach Dave Magadan] about it, he said in the past they put him at a different spot and it seemed to work. He's taking full swings and either hitting just below the ball and it's going up, or just a little off the end of the bat and it's going on the ground. That's a mega-second. It's not like check swings or jam shots or swings and misses by a lot. He's taking full swings, hitting the ball, advancing it forward in a kind of non-productive way."
A good September could show scouts that he's ready to return to that form in 2013 and increase his trade value. A bad one and scouts and GMs are likely to think 2011 was just an aberration.
"He's a good player," Valentine said. "He'll be good."
Prediction: Red Sox will ride out his talent one more year in Boston.
Pedro Ciriaco -- He's one of the true feel-good stories of the 2012 Red Sox. It started in spring training when the 26-year-old late bloomer caught everyone's eyes with a .419 average in 26 games. Then came the chants of "Pedro, Pedro" in the nightcap of the day-night doubleheader with the Yankees at Fenway Park on July 7. Ciriaco has impressed with his versatility as he can play second, short and third and has a rifle arm. He can even play the outfield in a pinch. He has batted all over the lineup for Valentine and is batting .344 with an OPS of .822. Those numbers are nothing to sneeze at. He still strikes out a lot -- 23 times with just two walks in 126 plate appearances. But he certainly has done enough to show he deserves a shot at the big league roster out of camp in 2013. If he continues to play hard in September, he'll get that chance.
Prediction: Red Sox keep him and he's the starting shortstop in 2013.
David Ortiz -- No one has less to prove and more to lose than David Ortiz in September. He is coming off a right Achilles injury suffered on July 16. He's missed 35 games. Before the injury, he was regarded -- without question -- as the most feared hitter in the Sox lineup with 23 homers and 58 RBIs and a .316 average in 89 games. His OPS was a remarkable 1.023. No one would blame him if he sat out the rest of the season to heal his injury so that he's full strength for next season. If he hurts himself again, the likelihood of a major payday in free agency is out the window. He has been frustrated with the Red Sox and their unwillingness to pay him as the team's most productive hitter for the last 10 seasons. He turns 37 in November. Is there one more big payday left? He must smile when he sees what Derek Jeter has done at 38.
Prediction: Ortiz goes out on top with a great September and bids Boston farewell as the organization at a crossroads decides to move on. He'll be a Yankee in 2013.
Josh Beckett -- Either Josh Beckett is hurt or he's washed up. September is a four-letter word to Beckett. The numbers are well-documented since the debacle of last September. He is 6-13 in 26 starts since Sept. 1, 2011. He is 5-11 this season with a 5.23 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 127 1/3 innings. He has been on the disabled list with right shoulder fatigue. Scouts who have watched him agree that he has lost command of his best pitch -- the hammer curve -- and the radar gun reveals he's lost 4-5 mph off his fastball. That's a pretty deadly combination for a pitcher who used to strike fear into the hearts of batters. That fear is gone. Will he spend September trying to -- if nothing else -- fight to find it again?
Prediction: The organization knows how unhappy Beckett is and will make every effort to move him before pitchers and catchers report in February. He's gone.
Andrew Bailey -- This was the big move of the offseason last winter for Ben Cherington in his effort to rebuild the bullpen without Jonathan Papelbon. UCL surgery on his right thumb set him back to the point where he's an afterthought, coming into situations like Thursday in the seventh inning. His slider and sinker haven't returned to form, but the Red Sox will give him the chance to regain that form in 2013. He starts laying the groundwork in September as the team gets more of a look at what he can do.
Prediction: He's back in 2013 and will unseat Alfredo Aceves as the team's closer.
Clayton Mortensen -- Throw out Thursday's four-batter, no-out effort and this has been an eye-opening season for the lanky right-hander. He is 1-1 with a 2.30 ERA in 18 appearances. He figures to get a chance in September to start once or twice to see if he can handle the load of starting. He is 6-foot-4 and throws overhand much in the same way Clay Buchholz does. He has 24 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings. This is a 24-year-old pitcher who's earned the shot of a very close look in September, and the Red Sox will give it to him.
Prediction: Mortensen comes out of spring training as the fifth starter for the 2013 Red Sox.
Ryan Lavarnway -- The question about the 25-year-old catching prospect never has been his offense. He batted .295 with eight homers and an .815 OPS this year with Triple-A Pawtucket. The bigger issue is: Can he handle the rigors of catching and handling a big league staff? Asked to do so in Boston, his offense has dropped substantially, as he is batting just .135 in 12 games. He bears very close watching in September to see if he can mesh his offensive and catching skills together to show he's ready to begin next season with the big league club.
Prediction: Lavarnway shows enough in September that the Red Sox believe he'll make the 2013 big league team out of camp.
Jon Lester -- In the same boat as Beckett, Lester has had a miserable year. As a matter of fact, by far, 2012 has been the worst of his career. He's 7-10 with a 5.03 ERA in 25 starts. But unlike Beckett, there are promising signs. After his hideous 11-run outing against the Blue Jays on July 22, the one that prompted the now-infamous text, Lester and then pitching coach Bob McClure looked at the tape and found that he had been opening up too soon, tipping his pitches and throwing fastballs right down Broadway. Since then, he's 2-2 in five starts and his last two outings have been much more like the old Lester, allowing one run in six innings against the Indians and one run in seven against the Yankees, both wins. Against the Indians, he struck out 12 in six innings. Will it continue in September? He figures to be a keeper at the top of the rotation with Buchholz.
Prediction: Too much talent for Lester to be going anywhere. You can blow up many parts of the roster, but starting pitching like Lester isn't one place to do it. He'll rebound in 2013.
Bobby Valentine -- Privately, the man from Stamford, Conn., had serious second thoughts about taking the job as early as April. Those doubts in his mind really surfaced after he experienced the backlash about his public comments over Kevin Youkilis on April 15 on WHDH-TV. He honestly thought he'd done nothing wrong but got a rude awakening to just how much things are blown out of proportion in Boston. Now, after "textgate" and the Johnny Pesky funeral furor, his second thoughts have been more than reinforced. Management talked him through every step to make sure he wouldn't step down in midseason. Now, Valentine finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it will be interesting to see how he handles September, when he must realize his tenure in Boston -- little of his own doing -- is drawing to a close.
Prediction: Valentine gave an honest effort for one year, but there will be a new manager in place in 2013.
These are just 10 of the questions on a long, long list of issues the Red Sox face heading into an offseason in which they've lost a lot of the reserve of goodwill built up over two World Series championships. Let Ben Cherington get to work, and he and the baseball ops people will do just fine. The Red Sox made critical errors last winter in not addressing the problems inside the organization. This year, they have a month head start on not repeating those same mistakes.
To the Trags Bag for what fans feel were the feel-good stories of a miserable season so far.
@shelley1005 I think that feel good story ended the moment [Will Middlebrooks] broke his wrist. Before yes....now....not so feel good....just another story of the bad luck bad news sox.
@nesports247 Buchholz could've been a 20 game winner if he hadn't been hurt and spent time on the DL.
@soxanddawgs [Middlebrooks] still a great story before the injury
@ct_smoke could you see AGon being traded and Middlebrooks shifted to first to make room for [Xavier Bogaerts] at 3rd? Dodgers seemed to not be worried about the contract...and we all know [Dustin Pedroia is] begging to get [Andre] Ethier here. No way [Bogaerts] stays at SS and the kid from AZ is a 6 foot Pedey clone, and [Jose] Iglesias is still around too.
@paultys18 no wonder pitching is in trouble. With the offense we have at moment if we have 3 runs scored against, we simply can't win!! FACT

- Padz Dry Box Seat Pad 38"x13"
Q:Is there a recommended method of installing the pad straight? Does the adhesive allow for re-positioning?Asked on 3/29/2016 by Anthony from United States
1 answer
A:Before you peel off the backing, clean the surface, line the pad up where you want it and make some marks on the box. Peel the backing, put one edge on the marks and roll the pad on, pressing it down as you go to avoid trapping any air bubbles. The adhesive is pretty aggressive so you want to do it right the first time.

Aim. To examine the relationship of low back pain prevalence and treatment to personal and work-related characteristics among intensive care unit nurses. Background. Back pain is the most common work-related health problem among nurses. Design. A cross-sectional study including a survey conducted in 2007. Methods. The study sample included 1345 nurses in 65 intensive care units in 22 South Korean hospitals. Back pain prevalence was measured by the frequency of back pain (always, once a week, once a month or once in two or more months) during the past year. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between back pain and personal and work-related characteristics. Results. The mean age of nurses was 27.2 years. Overall, 90.3% of nurses had back pain at least once a month (21.9% always, 40.7% once a week and 27.7% once a month). Only 18.3% had received medical treatment for their back pain. Compared with neonatal intensive care unit nurses, who had the lowest prevalence, nurses in other specialties, excluding paediatric intensive care units, had a greater likelihood of back pain. Specialty medical (e.g. cardiology, neurology) intensive care unit nurses had the greatest probability of back pain and treatment. Perceiving staffing as inadequate and working 6 or more night shifts per month were related to a 64% increase (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 1.16-2.33) and 48% increase (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.10-1.99) in back pain, respectively. Nurses with 2-4 years of working experience in intensive care units had the greatest probability of back pain and treatment. Conclusions. A high prevalence of back pain was found in intensive care unit nurses, even though they comprise a very young workforce in Korea. Relevance to clinical practice. Improving nurse staffing, reducing the frequency of night shifts and assessing risk factors in specific intensive care unit specialties are suggested to decrease back pain prevalence.

I usually do at least okay with Alterna Bamboo which is why I took a chance & bought this on-line. Tried it once but it's a no-go, unfortunately. It did make it feel thicker the first day but the second day was not presentable & I like to go 3 days between shampoos. Also seemed like it made my color look a little off & definitely caused buildup, even after just one use. It took a week or so before my hair felt normal again. I wish returning was an option!!

I need to preface my review with the fact that I have used Alterna styling products for a couple of years. I have always had successful results. When the old Thickening Cream in the turquoise tube was discontinued, I was really upset. I had used that for years and found that it really gave my fine hair volume, without weighing the roots down. I went back and forth using other products and then came across this one recently. I had a coupon and i thought I would give it a try. I used it for the first time today and I absolutely LOVE it. I used about 4-5 pumps and distributed it throughout towel dry hair evenly starting at my ends and working it up towards the crown/roots. My bangs are voluminous and my hair is holding curl leaving my hair with body. The true test will be to see how long it lasts throughout the day, so I'll be sure to update. So far, so good!

I've been using this for about a month and I think it's a great product for styling fine, thin hair. I was skeptical at first because texture-wise, it's a lotion, but it doesn't weigh down my hair at all. I only need 4-5 pumps (they're small dollops) to cover my long hair and I can really tell a difference after I blow dry. My hair looks thicker and richer; it stands up well to the Texas heat and I really haven't much trouble with humidity like I used to. I used it alternately with my Enjoy hair serum, which I generally use to control frizz when I air-dry my hair.
It might seem pricey, but a little goes a long way, so one bottle will most likely last for at least four months, and that would be if you blow-dried daily.

This Alterna styling product, Strand Expand, does successfully in creating the volume in my hair. Even moreso, when it is combined with Alterna's Silk Sleek Brilliance Creme.
The frizzies are kept at bay, the volume is created, and my inverted bob seems to be a lot more swinging in a slanted line. The aroma is nice, too. The blow-drying was a charm because this styling aid pumped up the volume so easy peasy! Also, I liked the texture of my hair after the dry-out, and was glad there was no icky residue like some products leave in the hair. No greasiness, no stickiness.
Al the Alterna products seem to be on the costly factor when you figure that the product is in small quantities. If you search the net, you will find that these $22 bottles are available for $15 at Pandora. I will test out the Bamboo Volume Abundant Shampoo and Conditioner and report back on another review for them. But for now, I highly recommend this product! Also you really only need to pump out a small amound of product, for the fantastic results, which is a "good thing" as Martha would say, considering the price point.

I really wanted to Love this product, but it did practically nothing for my hair. It did give a bit of volume for a few hours after blow drying, but it didn't last. I'm much happier with Living Proof Thickening cream.

UPDATE: I've switched to Redken 07 Layer Lift with much better results.
ORIGINAL: According to Alterna, this is designed to plump and volumize hair while protecting color. Its a white lotion that smells very light and fresh. Comes in a 4oz pump bottle which is a good idea, but the bottle I got only pumps out a tiny bit at at time so even with my medium amount of thin hair, I risk getting carpal tunnel every morning trying to get enough out of the bottle. That being said, I work about a quarter size this through damp hair from tips to roots, comb through, and style as usual. It detangles beautifully, smooths hair without weighing it down, doesn't dry it out or make it greasier, gives gentle volume and fullness, and...the best part...keeps my hair fresh for 2-3 days. I've never been able to go more than 1 day without washing, mostly because it just becomes so unruly, sticking out all over the place, but with this, it looks fresh and controlled for days. $22 at drugstore.com
