UPDATE: The match between the Golden Eagles and Ladyjacks has been rescheduled for Monday (Oct. 1) at 4 p.m.
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Due to field conditions caused by recent heavy rains in south Texas, the Oral Roberts women's soccer Southland Conference opener at Stephen F. Austin, originally scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed. No makeup date has been announced.
The Golden Eagles return to the Case Soccer Complex on Friday for the first time since Sept. 2, as they face conference opponent Northwestern State (La.). They topped NSU in a non-conference match earlier in the season, 5-0.
For more updates on when the match against SFA will be made-up, and other news on the Golden Eagles, visit ORUGoldenEagles.com and the ORU athletics Facebook and Twitter pages.

This foursome – one Norwood and one Nucla couple, who are very high up in Western Colorado's elite birding world – have just come back from their latest foray into the nearby forests. They're part of a remarkable group of volunteers who are out there this summer counting "breeding birds."
Mind you, this is no fly-by-night affair. It is precise and often rigorous, but if you love birds and adventures in the outdoors, it's also quite wonderful.
My birder friends are Norwood's Kathey Graaff and George Steele, and Brenda Wright and Coen Dexter of Nucla. They're all vigorous retirees. George is a former Boise-based smokejumper and Coen was a Grand Junction high-school teacher. After each moved to this area, it's not surprising that, as consummate, lifelong birders (dare I say "birds of a feather") they linked up here. Some 20 years ago, Coen was a leading participant in the first Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas, and is today a regional fieldwork coordinator for Atlas II.
Their assigned territory takes in parts of Paradox, the northern regions of San Miguel County (including Placerville and the Leopard Creek area) and large portions of Ouray County. Coen says they found perhaps the richest birding on the Leopard Creek trail, which follows the old Narrow Gauge Railroad line near Placerville. Carolyn Gunn, formerly a Telluride veterinarian and now a fish biologist living in Dolores, is the Atlas II coordinator for the Telluride area, and Placerville residents Judy and Howard Kennedy are enthusiastic new field volunteers.
Atlas II is the second Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas. It will provide an updated comparison to the findings published in the first Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas, the result of fieldwork started in 1987. The project maps "the breeding birds of Colorado in a detailed scale never before attempted in the state," according to the project's Field Worker's Handbook. The Colorado Bird Atlas Partnership heads this complex inventorying of bird species, and fieldworkers follow highly specific guidelines to establish their observations.
From topo maps, volunteer field workers are assigned certain "blocks" to cover. There they look and listen, recording what they hear and see on detailed "field cards." Fieldworkers don't have to find nests – although Kathey and Brenda both say finding nests with eggs, or better still, baby birds, makes for thrilling moments. Atlas II volunteers record their bird observations, categorizing them on their field cards as "confirmed, probably, or possible breeders," according to the bird's behavior. Breeding bird behavior can include seeing pairs, observing territorial or courtship behavior or spotting possible nests.
Brenda, acknowledged to possess perhaps the sharpest eyes, says she's been doing fieldwork for eight summers, and this is the first time she's seen an Olive-sided Flycatcher's nest. These rather large, grayish birds nest on the ground, she explains. But, even when the Mama flycatcher flew up from the ground, directly in front of her feet, "it was so well camouflaged, I couldn't see the nest on the ground." Then – Bingo! – there it was. An "ah haa" moment in birding.
Flycatchers, it turns out, have been of special interest this summer – in particular, one species called the Cordilleran Flycatcher (they saw several pairs of Cordilleran Flycatchers in the Leopard Creek Trail area). Coen also mentions a Hammonds Flycatcher, and the much more spectacular male Western Tanninger, noting a fledgling with a red head and bright yellow body – then a spectacular and often overlooked Lazuli Bunting in a brilliant blue. Typically, this foursome spent 10 hours inventorying breeding birds on Hamilton Mesa, southwest of Norwood. That's where they observed 52 species, actually the same number recorded 20 years ago. But, they "confirmed" many more species, by finding nests or seeing mama birds feeding the babies. Kathey says one of her "ah haa" moments was seeing a baby "Meadowlark – mouth open, wings flapping – begging food from a Mountain Bluebird."
While volunteers by the hundreds will do the fieldwork for Atlas II, Brenda says that, with a little training, "anyone can try a block." The work is expected to take five years to complete. This summer, Coen regularly holds instructional sessions for beginners – he calls them "Blockbusters" – at Antone Springs, a U.S. Forest Service campground on the Uncompahgre Plateau. Notices appear in local publications, along with the Black Canyon Audubon Society's website.
When the fieldwork is completed, organized, and published, in about 2012, birders and others will be able to go to a new Atlas II website, and even register new sightings to add to this comprehensive study of breeding birds in Colorado Next to gardening, birding is universally recognized as the second-favorite hobby in America.
OK, birders in the San Juans, here's your chance to have an expert "walk you through" this intriguing wildlife challenge. It could turn out to be your best summer yet.

A friend of mine needs to fly today. All typical aggregated booking sites don't allow searching for today. Anyone know where it is possible?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Travel Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for road warriors and seasoned travelers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Kayak allows 'today' flight searches. You should also be able to make bookings with airlines on their websites directly.
Most definitely Kayak - it's my number one stop for flights, be they a year ahead, or 5 hours from now. And they certainly support LCCs - I once used Kayak to work out that Miami to London was quite a bit more expensive than Miami to Dusseldorf, and find another way for the final leg. So I flew to Dusseldorf, trained to Cologne, went into a net cafe, found an EasyJet flight later that day, had lunch and headed to the airport.
It's certainly made travel more flexible for me - thinking back to using travel agents makes me cringe :/

Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale, Arizona, event has become arguably the world's premier collector-car auction. Starting out as a small charity function in 1967, the multi-day event now attracts more than 250,000 people and hundreds of classic cars. Scottsdale's 2012 auction appears to be just as big since many rare and exclusive automobiles have already registered to cross the auction block.
Because every collector has his or her own particular likes and dislikes and considering the variety of cars, I could never label a small set of automobiles as standing absolutely above all the rest. But, despite the glorious assortment of fine and collectible cars, I have assembled a list of seven of the more notable automobiles (in no particular order) that will go under the auctioneer's hammer.

SPARKS — A criminal charge has been filed against the 56-year-old Sparks man who accidentally shot himself in the buttocks inside a movie theater earlier this month.
Police say Fernando Santana Eagleheart had a legal permit to carry the concealed weapon when he dropped it and it went off at the downtown Sparks theater on Aug. 14
But a criminal complaint filed last week in Sparks Municipal Court charges him with discharge of a firearm on a public street or "place of public resort." The misdemeanor offense is punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine or both. The Sparks City Attorney Office does not believe he will receive jail time, according to KRNV & MyNews4.com.
Police told a local newspaper that Eagleheart apologized to the crowd and left the theater where about 30 people had been watching "The Bourne Legacy." No one else was hurt.

Jackson, Purdy and Weinrauch will be recognized for their achievements and receive a plaque and $1,500 honorarium during spring commencement, Saturday, May 4.
Termed the "most popular classroom instructor" in Chemistry by her chairperson, Chris McGowan, Jackson has taught introductory sections of undergraduate science since 1978, when she left the Medical University of South Carolina and joined the faculty here.
"Dr. Jackson has excelled in making the non-science major's chemistry an interesting sequence for a large number of students with a wide variety of backgrounds," says Joseph Lerner, Tennessee Tech Chemistry professor. "She brings the abstract into the forefront of reality through clever examples in class that are thoroughly anecdotal and cleverly humorous and surprising."
Susan Goss, associate professor of Biology at the university, considers Jackson not only a valued colleague but an inspiration. Goss says, "Dr. Jackson's enthusiasm for science is readily communicated to students -- she motivates them by making chemistry challenging, relevant and fun."
The author of numerous publications, Jackson and co-author Katherine Rust of Chemistry recently completed Elementary Dr. Watson, a chemistry workbook for elementary education students, during a non-instructional leave-time grant last year.
A prolific researcher and tireless classroom teacher, Purdy has influenced a generation of engineers -- not only here, but at Purdue University, where he taught from 1964 to 1968 before coming to Tennessee Tech.
Edwin Griggs, chairperson of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has known Purdy for 34 years and calls him "one of the most methodical and professional persons I have had the opportunity to know. His instructional competence is exceptional. He cares about the student. He prepares notes and problem solutions with great care and detail. His classroom demeanor is impeccable."
Purdy's students -- current and former -- define professionalism more broadly. Working with Purdy as a graduate student "was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," says graduate Chris Miller, now a heatrate engineer with Alabama Power's Gorgas Steam Plant. Mechanical Engineering junior David Long describes Purdy as "the most compassionate and caring teacher" he's ever had.
Purdy holds five patents in his chief research area, thermal and thermochemical conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals, in addition to being the author of more than 60 publications and reports.
A member of the business faculty since 1977, Weinrauch is a former recipient of the universityUs Caplenor Faculty Research Award and a six-time winner of outstanding teaching and research awards in the College of Business Administration, including the Curtis Kinslow Award for Excellence in Teaching. His skill in teaching and research is obvious; now he is being recognized for his excellence in service.
His dean, Robert Bell of the College of Business Administration, considers Weinrauch "an outstanding classroom teacher and an accomplished author and scholar," but says Weinrauch contributes even more. And community business leaders agree.
"Dr. Weinrauch has provided a very significant service to the community and the university with the WCTE-TV show, 'Upper Cumberland Business Profiles,'" says Joe Albrecht, president of Albrecht Newspapers Inc. "The program has been serving the area for over six years. The program provides a large segment of the population with information about people and professions that they may not have had access to in the absence of this program."
Weinrauch is the author of more than 100 academic articles, papers and consulting reports, as well as five books, including The Frugal Marketer: Smart Tips for Stretching Your Budget, The Marketing Problem Solver and Applied Marketing Principles.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with first grade teacher comment. I am convinced my child learned nothing in 1st grade and set my child back in 2nd grade. Fortunately, the 2nd grade teacher is awesome and got my child back up to speed. They probably need to make the decision to replace her. I have heard these complaints year-after-year. Hopefully, Mrs. G take notice and other parents speak up. Besides for 1st grade, this is an awesome school.
My daughters love this school, and the NDV school community is terrific. I just saw the terrible reviews about 1st grade, but my daughter's experience in 1st grade was a good one. She came out of her shell and learned to be an excellent reader. She seems to like 2nd grade too. Some teachers will always be better than others, but overall, we are very happy to be part of NDV.
Horrible experience with a teacher; kids are always getting zero feedback on writing in middle school and I regret sending my kid here.
The first grade teacher is just awful. She allowed students to pick activities and did not bother to teach anything. She is using teaching time to study herself and not to teach. She uses Edhelper.com and not the actual workbooks. At the end of the school year, our child came back with a workbook showing that only 2 chapters were used. If this continues in the second grade, we will definitely transfer our child to a different school.
NDV is a fantastic school. I have a 6th grade girl and a boy that just graduated. My son attends an extremely rigorous & competitive high school.His excellent organizational skills, I attribute solely to NDV. The 8th grade play was an amazing experience. My son and his NDV friends (boys & girls) continue to see each other visiting their high school events to support one another. My daughter now in 6th grade is enjoying her friends and involved in sports, acting(after many afternoons watching the 8th graders practice), poetry and academics. I have been extremely pleased with the after school program. They have planned activities that are enriching and engaging. All the kids do homework and when my daughter had trouble with math, there was someone to help. Every middle school teacher is available after school for 1 hour to support the kids academically. When I pick up my daughter at 5:30pm she often says in a relieved, happy voice. "I got all my homework done! What's for dinner?" We have a night ahead of us free from the stress of homework. Many thanks NDV. You are a wonderful blessing to our family.
As a parent of of a fourth and first grader at NDV I have been very happy with the academics and the quality of the teaching staff. The teachers and Administration provide a warm and personal experience for each student (and family) while maintaining strong academics. The parent community is wonderful and deeply committed to enhancing the school experience and improving the school for future families. Continual efforts are made to update the facilities, raise money for special projects, and create social opportunities for families to get to know one another. Annual events such as Bal de Paris, the family picnic at GG Park, the Halloween party and Christmas Pagaent are memorable and first rate events. The kids, parents and staff participate on every level. In support of the Catholic education is a strong Art and Music program, an 8th grade musical production, sports teams, French program and much more. Older grade "buddies" boost younger students confidence from K-8th grade, attending filed trips together and attending each others graduation ceremonies. Graduates of NDV attend the best high schools in the Bay area, leaving NDV with lasting friendships and memories.
NDV is a wonderful school if you are looking for strong academics and a real sense of community. The principal is beyond dedicated and the faculty is excellent. No school is perfect but, for our family, NDV is as close as one can get. Every kindergarten student knows every 8th grader by name long before Christmas! The older students are kind to the little kids and this does not just happen magically. The proof is in the pudding. My kids come home happy and excited about their experiences at school. Graduating students are accepted at top tier high schools and adjust easily because they are prepared socially and academically. We are so grateful to be a part of this exceptional school and would highly recommend it.
NDV is a hidden gem of a school, offering excellent academics, extensive extra-curriculars, and a progressive yet values-based approach. Students are not only well prepared for, and routinely accepted at, all the top Bay Area high schools (St. Ignatius, Lowell, University, Lick-Wilmerding, Convent/Stuart Hall, to name a few) they are good, kind kids to boot. The downtown location in Nob Hill draws a diverse group of families, who, together with the school/church leadership and teachers, create an exceptionally close-knit community dedicated to enriching the student experience. Students have the opportunity to participate in music lessons (piano, violin, cello, guitar), technology (computer science, programming, robotics), art, French, and sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, track). Is NDV perfect? No school is, but NDV more than delivers on the most important measures: academic achievement, cultural appreciation, strong work ethics, and an enduring moral compass.
We were not looking for a Catholic school. What we cared about most was strong academics, strong community, and solid values. NDV had them all. This is not my fathers Catholic school. The tolerance and diversity this city is known for permeates the culture of the school. There is a class trip each sixth grade class takes; a week in Yosemite. I was a chaperone on the trip this year, and got to see the kids in action on trails, in the dining hall, mucking about at the campsite. What I saw were 32 kids* who had genuine appreciation for each other. It reminded me of my friends from elementary school. A handful of us, email weekly. Friends for life. My sense is that my kids will have at least a few of their NDV classmates as friends for life. That's what the culture at NDV produces. Given the minefield of challenges kids face growing up today, I consider those close friendships, to be among the greatest assets my kids have received from NDV. The academics are excellent. Graduates are readily accepted by the best high schools in the city. *(the class sizes are large, and when you've got a good teacher, an aide, and 32 kids behaving and listening it doesn't matter).
NDV is a superb child-centered school offering a solid balance of academics and enrichment (especially with regards to art, music, sports and robotics). If you are looking for exceptional academic results, NDV is always at the top with the results and high school placements year after year to back it up. The school has significant diversity, encompassing a healthy mix of different cultures and religions outside of its French and Roman Catholic core. The environment is safe, positive, and fun with a caring and active community. It is a small school that encourages parent involvement so it feels like everyone knows and is looking out for your child. There is a strong alumni tradition and its location makes it unique and special for city natives and residents (especially great for working parents downtown!). The teachers are engaged and challenge the children, and enough can t be said about the principal who goes above and beyond on a daily basis her love of the school is undeniable. My daughter is receiving an excellent education, stretching creatively and making life-long friendships. We are thrilled to be part of NDV and highly recommend this school.
I have two kids at NDV now and I could not be more delighted. A second language (French) every day, a truly fantastic Art program, a solid music program with great support for 'pull out' sessions and academics that get kids into the best high schools in the City. And in the last few years they have bought notebook computers and completely upgraded the WiFi network in addition to the great computer lab they already had. Perhaps most impressive to me is the support for educational robotics. NDV is the only school in SF that hosts the Lego FIRST robot league competition. They have at least ten of the Lego NXT robot kits and they are integrating them into the science program across the grades. And the NDV DragonBot club went to the State championship two years ago and to the Regionals last year. Where else are you going to send your kids where they will get such a complete education for the price?
NDV is a great school- If you care about great scholastic outcomes you should care about NDV. Not only do a large percent of the graduating classes get into exceptional high schools, the children are mature and well-prepared for continued growth. In fact, take a tour and talk to some eighth graders like I did and you will easily recognize what a caring and academically challenging environment can yield. These outcomes are because of strong leadership from our long-tenured and wholly committed principal, our passionate pastoral team, our strong and caring faculty, our parent community, and even from the leadership of the student body itself. San Francisco has great schools, and NDV is one of them.
My three children attend the school (5th, 2nd and K) and it has fabulous attributes. NDV provides a Catholic education, with an emphasis on arts, language (French) and music, in the urban setting of downtown San Francisco. The extra-curricular music program can start as early as Kindergarten or 1st grade. My 5th grader has been playing violin for 5 years and my 2nd grader plays piano and my youngest is learning the cello. NDV does not promise to make your child bi-lingual by graduation but most kids enroll in French 3 when they enter the 9th grade of high school and can speak the language. It puts a child on a good footing to really excel in French Language at the High School and College level. The Catholic community is amazing and definitely puts God in the forefront of the child's education. It can be as little as Father Phil greeting the children as they walk in to school or the children's preparation for the sacraments with daily catholic education in-between.
NDV is a City Family's perfect choice. As brand new Kindergarten Family in 2111, we can enthusiastically say that NDV is warm, welcoming and amazing school / community. Ffinding such a perfect home for the next 9 for our son and soon our daughter is heartwarming. The kids are polite, diverse and happy yes happy to be at school. It s a small school community; our son is building relationships with kids from all grades. They have this great buddy system for the kindergarteners with the 8th graders, where the 8th graders take them to a pumpkin patch for Halloween and the kindergartens support the 8th graders on their annual 8th grade musical with joy and exuberance. This all the best pieces of an elementary school experience. The events, like a kids Jogathon, Halloween Carnival, International Night of food and drink and of course a party to end all fundraising parties, for parents and children alike these events while of course raising money are also full of energy, commitment and real fun. As we have a commitment and deep desire to live and learn with our kids in SF this is the perfect school. In addition the uniforms are cute and so easy!! Love it
NDV is a great school for my son 2nd gd) and daughter (K). If you are looking for a school that will nurture your child spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally, and physically, then consider NDV. My son, who was casted as a shy boy, has blossomed to be a respectful, happy, and engaging 2nd grader. It has to do with the fact that he is surrounded by other boys and girls who have supported him and encouraged him to be able to socialize in a safe environment. Every conversation I've had with a NDV student has always engaging. They're able to express their feelings eloquently and give their opinion with eye contact tells me that they're in an environment where they are encouraged to express themselves and prepared to be successful individuals. My (K) daughter is reading at a 2nd grade level and her penmanship is of an adult. My 2nd gdr is doing research paper on dinosaurs and tigers and reading his work to the principal and other grade teachers. How great is that where the school principal, is making time, given her busy schedule, to listen to my 7yr-old son read out his paper?He's also completed many math-in-a-minute exercises and weekly spelling tests w/o any mistakes.
NDV has made great strides to grow and change over the past 5 years we have been there. There has been much talk of boys not getting what they need and not being supported, but with my 10 year old that is not the case. I am watching my boy grow learn responsibility, how to be organized and of course all of the academic skills. The classes are large, but the full-time aides balance the numbers. The community is strong and diverse and we are proud to be a part of it.
NDV is a fabulous school and community; its students grow into successful adults-ethical, respectful, cultured, insightful, purposeful and resourceful. The older comment about the purported Catholic punitive environment is off. NDV teaches respect; discipline, when necessary, is meted out gently. In addition to the 3 Rs (and French!), NDV kids learn decision-making, accountability and gracefulness; families are drawn precisely because of these traditions. Music/art programs are superb; cultural enrichment opportunities abound. Students achieve highly and are well regarded by the best high schools in SF (I know this well because I serve on the board of one of them). Academic program is rigorous and contemporary, and technology is up to date (computer lab, Promethean boards, etc.). Many alums like me come back as parents. NDV s proposition is: first-rate education, uber-competent principal and administration, teachers who care about your whole child, grown-up parents who are actively raising their kids and a warm, vibrant, culturally diverse community, all at a bargain price. It s the best of Catholic education and a lovely place for your child if these things speak to you.
NDV is a fantastic school. Don t let a few grumpy parents reviews keep you from considering NDV for your child. The majority of parents and children are extremely happy with the school administration and teachers. NDV provides a solid education and results that prove it. From impressive test scores, to art music & sports programs, not to mention top Bay Area high school acceptances, we ll take the traditions and values of this school any day. We were impressed when we toured the school years ago and continue to be impressed by the educational programs, the talented Principle, the committed parent community, plus the supportive Parish. The parent community is very involved which builds on the solid foundation this school provides. Our child thrives at NDV as do many others. This school is a gem. Take a tour, talk to parents and you ll rind a richer prospective. Not every school is going to be perfect, but we ve witnessed first hand actions the administration takes to consistently deliver an exceptional well rounded program. Our family feels extremely lucky to be part of the NDV community and so do many others.
Do not agree at all with the negative reviews. The school is academically rigorous and traditional in many ways, but the principal makes great effort to make informed, thoughtful decisions and strives to be forward thinking and open to making school-wide policy and program changes as needed. Her dedication to the school is like nothing I've ever seen. The support and level of commitment from the pastor and church is phenomenal. Overall, this school provides the ideal balance of a structured yet progressive environment for the kids, boys and girls alike. As for staffing, high turnover and/or (the opposite) "dead wood" teachers entrenched in thinking and approach are cliche challenges of any school. NDV is no different- finding and keeping great teachers and getting the long term ones to be open to ever-evolving changes in curriculum and teaching approach are ongoing missions that the school takes to heart. School community is tight- knit, highly diverse, low key and committed like no other. This is a safe, fun, enriching school for any child; they come in as adorable kindergartners and leave as young leaders motivated and equipped to make a difference.
Have to agree with some of the reviewers here. School does seem out of touch and have seen a lot of turnover in recent years, but the school does have some real gems, especially in the lower grades. Good sports programs overall and very caring/committed parent community. After School Program significantly below par with stories of parents and kids complaining regularly with nothing changing. We know several parents who have said leadership is unresponsive to repeated parent and child complaints.

I have been coming to Metroasis for more years than I can remember. I always walk out with a beautiful cut or color (my records are kept.) The students here are very attentive and professional. Sue and Sigel have a well organized educational center that embraces the creativity in the students and channels it to the customer. While having my hair cut and highlighted, Rachel made it a very enjoyable experience and I Love my hair. Metrooasis has their own hair products and I enjoyed the peppermint conditioner, it left me daydreaming about a peppermint mocha.
I am new to the area and was referred through an acquaintance and it's the best reference I've ever received! I had a minor scheduling error when I showed up, but Sue made sure I got right in and did not have to wait very long at all. And I got a delicious homemade crepe while I waited! Not only was the ambiance of the salon extraordinary, the service I received was exemplary. Tanya did my waxing and she did a wonderful nearly painless job, and she gave me some great skin and hair advice. Brittany was so professional and courteous, with a natural talent for cutting, color, and styling. She was so much fun to work with. I will definitely be coming back! I've found my salon.
No matter the student- they never disappoint! It's a very friendly place and Sue and Sigel are always nearby. I only go to Metroasis for my hair. I've had different cuts and colors and they always do a great job. I also take my young daughter there and they always listen to her and make her feel comfortable. I recently went for my first photo rejuvenation treatment and it was a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend this place to all my friends!
The best service in town. – I have been going to MetrOasis for many years now and have never been disappointed in the stylists and the work they do. Ollie was my latest stylist and she is great. Her attention to detail is awesome. She did the best highlights I have ever gotten. They look very natural and my haircut is perfect. They will continue to be my choice for all my hair needs. Thanks Sue and Sigel.
MetrOasis Advanced Training Center – Metroasis is a great and very welcoming salon to go to, I have been having Kasey Vieu do my cuts and colors for the last 6 months, I have not once had an issue with there products or the outcome of the product. I am very happy with her customer service and professionalism, if you havent got to experience it yet you definitly need to!!
MetrOasis-Where you want to go when you want to be pampered. – Ollie has been taking care of my hair for sometime now and I am elated with her skills and eye for detail. She is very attentive to my requests and patient with my questions.
I have been very pleased with each visit and all of my friends have given me numerous comments on how much they love my hair. Thanks Ollie, you are the best!
Kasey Vieu – I have been getting my hair done by Kasey since she started going to school at Metroasis. She has always done a thorough, timely, and outstanding job. I was very impressed from the first time she did my hair forward and have been going back on a four week cycle ever since. I would more than recommend her to anyone looking for a new stylist. The amount of talent in this girls fingertips will awe all that sit in her chair.......and she's still in hair school! Two thumbs up for Ms. Vieu.
An Eye-Opening Experience. – I never used to care very much about my haircuts. It just didn't seem like there was that much of a difference between a good and mediocre cut. Then an acquaintance of mine, Kasey Vieu, began going to school at MetroOasis. The first time I went in, it was with a sense of bemusement. I'm wasn't sure what to expect, but, in all honesty, I was astonished at the result. After only a few layman descriptions at what I wanted, I walked out with such a great feeling of pleased confidence I knew I'd probably never go anywhere else again.
The atmosphere of the shop is great. The teachers are nearby in case their advice is needed, but definitely do not hover; a clear sign of trust. Anything you could want is available, whether it be a cut, a dye, a style, or even esthetician work such as waxing. And for such a low price! There's also a cafe right next door, in case you'd like to linger over a coffee after your service.
Go see for yourself, you'll definitely leave delighted. My advice: ask for Kasey. She's incredibly talented, hard-working, and a fun person to converse with. I've sent a lot of friends her way over the eight months, and have never gotten anything but rave reviews. I myself see her every three weeks like clock-work, and always leave with a cocky spring in my step.
MetrOasis Advanced Training Center – MetrOasis was the best!
My visit was relaxing and I left feeling absolutely pampered. The goods and services i received from my hairdresser , Stephanie was of the upmost professional rating.
I received a moisture treatment , that resolved all the winter dryness. She responds with appropriate suggestions and thoughtful cautions of styling technique. Stephanie's tasteful approach to color ideas and variations was absolutely wow! I had a highlight that I loved . She creats a very personal atmosphere, very warm and friendly. Products were introduced in a direct approach for my needs. And yes, that was a wow, highlight.
So completely satisfied! – I am so happy with my experience at Metro Oasis :) The school has a fun and invigorating atmosphere like nowhere I've ever been. Everyone who helped me was pleasant and helpful. I was kind of nervous about letting a student do my hair but Stephanie did a wonderful job! My hair color turned out so rich and healthy and was exactly what I wanted! She was very professional and also easy to talk to with a happy demeanor which is very important to me. I have had her dye my hair twice so far and I will be back again and again. I definitely recommend Metro Oasis to anyone who wants affordable and quality service with an enjoyable visit on top of that. Thank you so much Stephanie :)!!

<li class="threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}
<li class="threadbit {vb:raw $rowClass} {vb:raw thread.statusstring}

Is a CBA standstill on the way?
By Stu Hackel
The Thursday meeting between NHL owners and players was a short one, only 90 minutes, but it seems that's all that was needed. An impending stalemate in CBA negotiations (discussed here in Wednesday's post) looms with each side's position in danger of ossifying. It's hardly unanticipated; you had to know that amidst all the talk about being focused on reaching an agreement, there's long been a sense that each side would dig in its heels over some fundamental issue and those heels now seem to be sinking into the earth.
This isn't to say that the sides aren't trying to negotiate a deal at the moment. They're still talking and plan to resume on Tuesday. According to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in his remarks after the most recent discussion, the league had tried to craft a revised position of its own — incorporating elements of the NHLPA's "alternate proposal" that offers the owners' some concessions on player salaries — that would be the basis for whittling down the difference between the sides. But Bettman said the NHLPA didn't have much "receptivity" to what the league devised, despite a couple of attempts to engage the union on it. Then the players presented the owners with the remaining parts of their proposal, those dealing with the NHLPA's views on contract issues: free agency, salary arbitration, contract length and the like, things the NHL wants to restrict. The owners didn't much like what they heard. "The union," Bettman said (video), "is looking for a system that has more flexibility and we're looking for a system that has less flexibility.
"The bigger point, I think, we made today goes to the fact that whether or not we are talking about the contract or system issues or we're talking about revenue sharing, it's clear that we're at a point where it's going to be very difficult to move this process along until we deal with the fundamental economic issues. And certainly as it relates to the fundamental economic issue, we are far apart, both in terms of magnitude and structure. And that's something we're trying to get a handle on."
What is that fundamental economic issue? Bettman laid it out rather plainly when later addressing questions:
"We believe that we are paying (the players) more than we should be," he said. And that comes down to defining Hockey Related Revenue and what the players' slice would be under the salary cap.
"The players have done very well under this deal," Bettman said. "The average salary has gone from a million four-fifty to two million four-fifty. I think given their druthers — (as) they've said publicly — they'd rather keep playing under this deal…My sense is they prefer to keep things the way they are and that kind of slows up the process."
"Everybody understands that employers would always like to pay less," countered NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr during his remarks to the media. "That's not a surprise to anybody — it's disappointing sometimes — but it's not a surprise….From the players' standpoint, they want a fair agreement, they want one that is equitable, they want one that recognizes their contribution."
Bettman went on to say that in Thursday's discussion, Fehr acknowledged that things aren't going to move forward until that fundamental issue is dealt with — which doesn't mean they'll start to agree on what the players' share of HRR should be, just that Bettman believes that question has to be answered before all else, that it's the central issue of the next CBA as he sees it, and both sides will prepare over the weekend for that discussion.
Do the players share that view? When Fehr spoke to the media afterward…
…he said, "Our belief is that — and I think they share what I'm about to say by the way, even if we come at it from different perspectives — is that when you tie together the core economic issues in terms of the cap numbers, when you add to that the revenue sharing issues, when you add to that the player contracting issues, we don't separate them, and we have different approaches as to what makes sense and what to tackle first. Having said that, they all have to be agreed upon or it's not going to be agreed upon. And so when we say we're going to focus on core economic issues next week, I expect that sooner or later we'll get to all of those. Exactly what's going to come up first, I don't know."
He added that the preparations he believes are in order for next week are continued discussions with his constituents, the players, "about how things look and what we might be able to do and all the rest of it. And sometimes the process is better served — rather than by meeting and continuing the discussions — by taking time to think and consider, to ponder, to talk to your constituents and then to come back. And the time that's going to be taken between now and then is hopefully going to be taken by both sides to do that. Whether it will be productive remains to be seen."
All of this means that if Mr. Bettman wants a resolution of the lowered salary cap issue first and has asked Mr. Fehr to ask his players if they are interested in settling next week for, lets' say, 46 percent or 43 percent or even the canard of partnership and the myth of an equal 50-50 split of HRR, Mr. Fehr will discuss it with them, starting immediately with another NHLPA regional meeting scheduled for Toronto. You can pretty much figure out what their answer will be.
Well, hockey fans, like it or not, if you're paying attention, you're getting a pretty good education about the joys collective bargaining techniques. But on Twitter around mid-day Thursday, fans felt they were getting something else — like a royal screwing, especially after they heard of Bettman's response to one questioner who asked if the league's excellent post-lockout economic growth gave him confidence that the owners could lock out the players again. Bettman restated that he was focused on a settlement, didn't want a work stoppage and then added, "We recovered last time because we have the world's greatest fans."
Seen as disingenuous by these "greatest fans" to whom he would deny hockey through a lockout, Bettman's words prompted a good deal of Twitter outrage and calls for some sort of fan protest. We'll have to monitor that to see if anything really comes of it. As Bruce Dowbiggin of The Globe and Mail reported on Monday, there are already a few anti-lockout websites gearing up: "NoHockeyLockout.com ('Giving the Fans a voice to save our sport!') and NHLexpertpicks.com are among the sites hammering the issue. The tone is anti-NHL," he wrote.
Of course, a lockout doesn't just mean no work for the players. The hardest hit victims wouldn't be those not making tons of money as players or owners, but those who make far less working for the teams, in the arenas, and in businesses connected with NHL games. Eric Francis of The Calgary Herald reported on Thursday that Flames employees may be in line for salary cuts if the players are locked out. Earlier this month, Geoff Kirbyson of The Winnipeg Free Press wrote about the plight of businesses near the MTS Centre that would suffer if the Jets don't play this fall. There are hundreds of people connected with the TV and radio rights-holders, local and national, who are paid by the game and would not get checks. I suppose they get classified as collateral damage in all this.
