Tulsa >Beauty > Venus Salon
1247 S Harvard Ave, Tulsa, OK | Directions 7411236.146105 -95.940386
Neighborhoods: Renaissance
Best Salon in Tulsa – My mom and I have been going to Heidi for almost 10 years now and have never been disappointed. I have changed my color and style many times and never been disappointed. I have often wanted something new and not known what to do with my hair and Heidi always has great ideas that I always love! Everyone at Venus is really nice and its always a great time when you are there! Its a great place to get your hair done!!
Best salon – I have been going to Venus salon since they opened and I have to say that it is the BEST place in Tulsa. Heidi is my goddess of choice (although I would trust any of the girls)and she really is a miracle worker. I had some hair trouble (looked like Barney) when I started going to her and it wasn't long before she had my hair looking better than it ever has. I love the compliments I receive on a daily bases and I refer clients to Venus all the time. For anyone out there looking for a great place, friendly atmosphere, full of good hair and vibes give Venus a try. You will be happy you did!!!!
Best Salon in all of Tulsa – I have been going to Venus for 6 yrs the cuts and color are the best! I always get lots of complitments on my hair. The girls @ Venus are all very sweet and make you feel like a family member. I have always used Heidi but would feel very comfortable with any of the girls to do my hair. Venus is alway up to date on all of the hip colors and cuts. They also have very reasonable prices and lots of products for your hair. I would NEVER go any where else for my hair now!!!! For the best atmosphere, fun and friendly conversation and the BEST COLOR and CUT EVER go to Venus. The girls there are all very professional and make you feel like a star!!!!!
Best Colorists in Tulsa – The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Gigi is a great stylist. When I went to her (over two years ago) I had three different colors of roots! I had been going to one of the top salons in town for this mess. Gigi fixed my color and it's perfect every time. Always a great cut, too!
Cool Tool Chests! – I am new to Tulsa and wanted a chic place to get my hair cut that could do as well as a job of the city I came from. I called around different places to get quotes on cost and I swear some people acted like I was bothering them and they had no time for me. I then was referred by a friend to Venus, they were wonderful w/ me. They took time w/ me over the phone and quoted me their prices which were very reasonable. When I went into my apointment I was greeted w/ a smile and my hair has never looked so
good!! I love it!! As I waited for my hair to dry I was offered something to drink and was pampered. My girl also visited w/ me and was friendly. She really did an amazing job on my hair, my husband couldn't stop
complitmenting my hair when I got home. He loved it! I would highly reccomend Venus to anyone who wants an awesome look for their hair, very friendly service, and a reasonable price!!! Who could argue w/ that?
Too expensive for the mediocre haircut – The service I got was not up to the price. While the hairdresser that cut my hair was kind of friendly, some of the other ladies seemed, for lack of better words, snotty. When I went to pay they couldn't decide whether they would take a check or not, which made me feel as if they just didn't trust me. Either you take checks or you don't, not for some and not others.
To the Stars with Venus – If you want to feel pampered and special then Venus Salon is the place for you. The hair cutting and coloring are supreme. The atmosphere is vry friendly and fun not to mention professional as well. If you want to look like a "Venus" or "Zeus" then this is your salon.
Kids get excellent cuts here too. The girls love kids and treat the little ones special too.
Wonderful facial massages! You can even duck next door for a sandwich on one side or shop fo gifts on the other side of the salon.

yuk – I pride myself at trying as many bbq joints around the country as i can as i travel nation wide and i can truthfully say this is the worst bbq i have tried to eat...yes tried, i couldnt eat it. i ordered the hot sauce and it wasnt the heat i couldnt stand it was the flavor.i ordered babby backs and they were dry and terrible, i expect they were from the day befor because they couldnt serve these to everyone and still be in buisness., if you go here dont order the hot sauce.I honestly couldnt eat it and i thaught i could eat anything.
worst all you can eat pizza and customer service – We called to find out about the pizza buffet they advertised. We arrived at 1 pm (pizza buffet is from 1-2 pm) and order the pizza buffet and a salad. The pizza did not show up until 1:25 pm. We had to get up and ask for plates and for the salad. When the salad finaly arrived after the pizza, the lettuce and cabage looked really old and I could not even eat it.They only brought out a pepperoni pizza. When we asked if they were bringing another type of pizza to the bufet, the waitress responded that when we finished that one, they will bring more out because they don't like to waste. I think they cannot advertise for a buffet and serve it this way. If they do not want to waste, first they should not have a buffet but if they do put one pizza out they should make it half cheese/hlf pepperoni or something like that. The final rude thing happened when the waitress came and asked: Are you going to finish the pizza so I have the cook make another one? Totally low class service. The pizza was okay.
Editorial Review – Local eatery serves two American favorites: pizza and barbeque for a filling appetite.

All Graduate Programs at Valparaiso University are billed per credit hour, not at an annual tuition rate. For 2013-2014, the MBA/MEM tuition rate is $699 per credit hour (through Summer 1, 2014). This means that for the 2013-2014 Academic Year a full-time student qualifying for the 38 credit one year MBA or MEM Program would pay an estimated total of $26,562. Please note that tuition per credit hour is subject to change each year.
For the 2013-2014 Academic Year the tuition cost per credit hours is as follows:
When a student is enrolled in a mixed course load (i.e. they are enrolled in both Law courses and MBA courses) they will pay the lesser of either the per credit hour rate for the number of credits being taken that semester in each program, or the full-time JD tuition rate for that same semester. The maximum a student taking a mixed course load will be charged is the one semester full-time JD tuition rate. A JD/MBA student enrolled in only JD courses or only MBA courses will pay the appropriate per credit hour or tuition amount for the school in which they are enrolled.
The financial aid programs available to graduate students at Valparaiso University are loan programs, both federal direct loans and private loans. To learn more about these loans and financial aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid by phone at 1-888-GO-VALPO (1-888-468-2576), by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by visiting their website at http://www.valpo.edu/financialaid/applying/graduatestudents.php.

1420 Nicollet Ave S, Minneapolis, MN | Directions 5540344.968143 -93.277973
Daily 11am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Loring Park, Central
Used to be gay friendly. Now...not so much – I've been really uncomfortable with some of the comments made by a particular waiter the last couple of times I went. And the food was all messed up too. Guess it won't be my favorite place anymore. I'll try the one in Midtown Market. I heard that's where the chef I love went to.
Taco Bell or Taco Johns or Salsa a la Salsa – Stick to the BELL or JOHNS. This place is over priced and the food lacks flavor. Service was ok but the food had less seasoning than your average cafeteria food. Food was barely warm and my plate was cold. House Margarita did not have any Teguilia in it. AUGH!
One of my favs – If you're flexible with your time and can enjoy a meal you waited too long for with an empty soft drink, this is a great bet. I recommend the The Amigos Enchiladas, though I've had great chimis too. I go to Salsa's often, so I've learned that it's best to go when it's kind of empty (they get overwhelmed easily).
Fun and relaxed – I went with my book club. We enjoyed the slow pace of the evening and spent several hours chatting, in addition to eating and drinking. No one tried to rush us from our table or constantly keep us ordering. The total bill was around $30 a person for a three and a half hour experience. The margaritas were great (and strong!) We're not lightweights, but no one had more than two. Everyone enjoyed their food although be aware there are side dish choices and if you don't specify, they will automatically bring you rice and beans. Our server was very nice and we enjoyed trying to speak Spanish with her. I am going back with my husband.
Third Strike, They're Out – Too bad. I actually like the food but last night was my third and last visit to Salsa a la Salsa. Three times I've enjoyed my food but three times I've had problems with my bill. All three times I've left with that funny little feeling that someone was trying to rip me off. On my first visit, my bank account was charged $6 more than what I signed for. I didn't realize it until a week later when I checked my bank transactions. Fortunately, my bank disupted the charge and I didn't pay the overcharge. On the second visit, my detailed bill totaled approximately $26. Silly me, I handed the waitress my Visa card. She asked me to sign a slip for approximately $32. Sure, I caught it. Oh, she apologized but I still felt "almost cheated." Again. Last night I asked for a little more sour cream and salsa because the tiny dollop on my quesadilla was not sufficient. Guess what? The detailed bill indicated "extra chips" and "extra sour cream." ???? The waiter explained that he HAD to charge for the extra sour cream and salsa. He changed words on the bill to indicate "extra picante." Had he told me that when I ordered the extra, I would've accepted it. He made no mention of it until I questioned the bil. AGAIN. Last night's unfortunate dispute could've been avoided had there been sufficient sour cream on the platter! After three visits and three overcharges, I won't return.
Huge disaster! – My family and I went there to celebrate my birthday. I'm a huge fan of Mexican food, and was looking forward to some "authentic" food. It was a disaster from beginning to end. The air conditioning was either not working or off-- and it was stifling in the resturant. Those of us who ordered margaritas got them quickly, but the sodas took over an hour (including for the kids!), and the water that we ordered at the beginning didn't come until 1/2 through our meal (and then only 3 of the 6 of us got them). The food was awful! My flautas con pollo were inedible--and ice cold. The chicken in the the flauntas was so dry that I could hardly stab it with my fork. And, unfortunantely, a couple of us were sick all night from what we did eat. Plus, three of us got our meals almost 45 minutes after the others at our table, and the first three meals took over an hour after we ordered. We should have turned around and gone to Pepitos when we walked in the door and found two different table threatning to walk out. Overall, our experience was completely disappointing. This staff was friendly, but almost useless. The salsa verde was amazing, but those are the only good things to say about this place.
Big Let Down! – Food was cold, and far from authentic with little flavor. Service is slow(server forgot our drink orders), although good margaritas. Would not go back and do not recommend. I will be going back to Pepitos!
Would rather have had Chipotle – We like all kinds of Mexican food, from casual to gourmet, and this was some of the worst we've had. The sides were ice cold, and I ordered steak fajitas and received chicken. The food was bland and the service was blah. The reviews that say the food was as great as the art were written by the artist, most likely, trying to get people into the restaurant to view it. The art was ugly too. The only thing the three of us liked was the exposed brick wall and the salsa with the free chips. Do NOT spend your money here.
Rim your rita! – Upon entering, i was a bit sceptical (from the other reviews). Salsa was great, clean environment, and creative decor. Food (popular burito, and chicken fajitas(which were marinated in wine)) was at our table in less than 10 minutes! amazing time... and service. Food was some of the best we have had for the price.
As my boyfriend remarks "This burrito is the best i have ever had!"- highly recomended to anyone looking for athentic mexican cuisine, and a good margherita for the right price.
Fresh, creative Mexican dishes match the local artwork on the walls of this popular eatery. – In Short
This long, narrow space and toasty fireplace see a daily rush of office workers and foodies out for a quick, tasty lunch. Bright, provocative art from Lake Street's Trujillo gallery hangs above the booths on exposed-brick walls. The food is traditional Mexican with a bit of flair, bedecked with queso fresco and savory sauces. Examples include pupusas--cheese-stuffed masa pancakes topped with pico de gallo--and Devil Mary Chicken Wings in a slow-burn pepper sauce.

BJJ World Champ Thiago Veiga Faces Strikeforce Veteran Dustin Ortiz at KOTC Sudden Strike in Minnesota
Roufusport and Rothwell MMA are set to clash this weekend as flyweights Dustin Ortiz and Thiago Veiga headline King Of The Cage "Sudden Strike" at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker, Minnesota.
Outside of the excitement that comes from a two-time Strikeforce veteran squaring off with a two-time Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion, the contest will also have bragging rights on the line for the competing schools.
Once associated with Duke Roufus and Roufusport Academy, Veiga has since joined forces with Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight contender Ben Rothwell to create Rothwell MMA & Luiz Claudio Combat Team BJJ.
While a quick glance at Veiga's mixed martial arts record shows only one professional fight – a second round armbar over Donald Ceri at NAFC Mayhem – the Brazilian import is as well respected on the grappling mat as anyone in the Midwest.
Beginning his training alongside Rickson Gracie in 1995, Thiago and his brother Luiz Claudio eventually opened their first LCCT Academy in Brazil. Since that time Veiga has made his way to Wisconsin where he has spent time associated with Neutral Ground, Roufusport, and now Rothwell MMA.
Over the course of his illustrious grappling career Veiga has taken home a number of titles including a BJJ Pan American Championship and two BJJ World Championships. After winning his second Mundial in 2002, he was awarded his black belt by Rickson Gracie. Now, Veiga looks to remain undefeated in the cage against Ortiz on Saturday night.
The month of August was supposed to feature an intriguing flyweight contest between Ortiz and UFC-veteran Jeff Curran at XFO 45 in Illinois. However, a rib injury to "The Big Frog" forced Ortiz to take on another opponent in the form of Veiga.
Hailing from Tennessee, Ortiz recently made the move to Milwaukee to help improve upon his striking game. After beginning his career with a record of 8-1, his only loss coming at the hands of UFC title contender Ian McCall, Ortiz suffered an upset against Josh Robinson earlier this year at NAFC Colosseum.
With the UFC desperately looking to add to its stable of 125-pound fighters each professional flyweight matchup around the country is newsworthy – especially when it features two high caliber mixed martial artists like Ortiz and Veiga.
Stay tuned to US Combat Sports for coverage of the fight between Roufusport's Ortiz and Rothwell MMA & LCCT BJJ's Veiga.

Whenever I have to talk about brandy or cognac I have the certainty that someone will not be happy with my words. But let's try. We agree that cognac is a type of brandy that is distilled twice and that comes from white grapes which origin is close to the French city with the same name, Cognac. But then what is the brandy? And which type of brandy is brandy Napoleon?
Brandy is nothing but a type of spirit obtained from the distillation of wine (although there are brandy varieties that can include cereal or other fruits besides grapes in the process). It is not true that brandy can only come from outside France as a cognac replacement. In fact there are many French brands of brandy.

The Department of Health Services awarded contracts to New Mexico Psychiatric Services last year to provide on-call or temporary services at state-run facilities, the Albuquerque Journal ( http://bit.ly/VVUpan) reported.
At the time, the department knew the state Attorney General's Office was investigating the company in connection with its work for the Department of Human Services, the newspaper reported Sunday.
Kenny Vigil, a spokesman for the health department, said the agency knew about the investigation but didn't consider the investigation a "determinative" factor.
The president of New Mexico Psychiatric Services, Dr. Babak Mirin, disclosed the investigation before any contracts were signed last year, Vigil said.
Mirin's attorney, David H. Johnson, said the company has been cooperating with the attorney general's investigation and will repay any overpayments that it may have received.
"At this point there has only been an allegation of billing fraud," Johnson said in an email to the Journal. "Fraud has not been established."
The Department of Health and the Department of Human Services Department are separate state agencies with some overlapping functions.
The Department of Health selected New Mexico Psychiatric Services, along with six other companies last May, to provide services as needed.
All seven firms that submitted proposals were approved to provide services and each state health department facility decided which firm to hire.
New Mexico Psychiatric landed most of the work by signing contracts for facilities in Albuquerque, Roswell and Las Vegas.

"(T)he feds are responsible for more than 9 out of 10 student loans, and the default rate continues to rise. The problem is, many of these loans are made without any consideration of the recipients' ability to finish college or repay what they've borrowed. And the colleges and universities are not inclined to ask that question either because they get the loaned money whether or not the students can repay. Given the earnings premium that a real college degree commands (meaning, one where the student has really learned something), a market-based system should have no trouble offering American students various loan choices. It would also mean students would make a real risk-reward calculation before taking out such a loan."
— New York Post editorial, "College, Congress and Costs," July 6

Sou'Easter Mooring Whips
2 Piece Whips f/Boats up to 23' - Fixed Base
Monarch Mooring Whips are made of a special solid fiberglass. The poles are cut to specified lengths and the blanks are then centerless ground to give them a precision taper. They are painted to protect them from the deteriorating effects of ultra violet rays from the sun. They provide reliable protection against dockside or seawall damage. They have tapered, solid fiberglass poles, working like strong shock absorbers, to apply constant pressure to your boat- keeping it a safe distance from the dock or seawall. This affords protection against boat wakes, or storms. The Sou'Easter offers the budget conscious boater security at a lower price.
Monarch Moor Whips are easy to install. The bow and stern lines are tied to a piling, cleats, or the bulkhead (if there is no dock) and the two spring lines criss-cross. These lines are for control of fore and aft movement.

ALBANY (AP) — A popular performance scheduled for next week at a Marine Corps base in southwest Georgia has been canceled because of federal budget cuts.
WALB-TV reports officials at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany announced Saturday that a public performance by the U.S. Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment scheduled for Tuesday has been scrapped. Base officials say the Washington-based unit is canceling all ceremonial travel events because of the cuts.
The Battle Color Detachment is made up of musicians from the Marines' Drum and Bugle Corps as well as drill team and color guard members.
The Pentagon is dealing with painful budget cuts that kicked in automatically this month after the president and Congress failed to agree on a plan for cutting the federal deficit.
