Sheila Jackson Lee (born January 12, 1950) is the U.S. Representative for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
Early life and education
Jackson Lee graduated from Jamaica High School in Queens. She earned a B.A. in political science from Yale University in 1972, followed by a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1975.[1] She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.[2]
Early political career
Jackson Lee made three unsuccessful attempts at local judgeships before becoming a municipal judge from 1987 to 1990.[3] Jackson Lee, along with Sylvia Garcia, was appointed by then Mayor of Houston Kathy Whitmire. In 1989 she won the at-large position for a seat on the Houston City Council, serving until 1994.[3] While on the city council, Jackson Lee helped pass a safety ordinance that required parents to keep their guns away from children.[4] She also worked for expanded summer hours at city parks and recreation centers as a way to combat gang violence.[5]
U.S. House of Representatives
- 1994
In 1994, Jackson Lee ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, challenging four-term incumbent U.S. Congressman Craig Washington of the Houston-based Texas' 18th congressional district in the Democratic primary.[3] Washington had come under fire for opposing several projects that would have benefited the Houston area.[6] Jackson Lee defeated Washington 63%-37%.[7] The victory was tantamount to election in this heavily Democratic, black-majority district. In the general election, she defeated Republican nominee Jerry Burley 73%-24%.[8]
- 1996-2008
During this time period, Jackson Lee was never challenged in the Democratic primary. In addition, she won re-election with at least 76% of the vote.[9]
- 2010
For the first time in her congressional career, Jackson Lee was challenged in the Democratic primary; her opponents were Houston City Councilmember Jarvis Johnson and Sean Roberts. She defeated them 67%-28%-5%.[10]
It was reported that in October 2010 Jackson Lee was "asking the Department of Justice to investigate whether tea party groups are intimidating black and Hispanic voters in her district." She requested that Attorney General Eric Holder send poll monitors to make sure that a local group wasn't stopping people from voting.[11]
She won the general election with 70% of the vote, the lowest winning percentage of her career.[12]
- 2012
In 2012, Jackson Lee was not challenged in the Democratic primary and won the general election with 75% of the vote. [13]
Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.[citation needed] She is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus,[14] and a CBC whip.[6]
In 2000, she favored permanently normalizing trade status for China, arguing that it would aid both human rights and Houston's economy.[15]
Jackson Lee traveled to the 2001 World Conference against Racism in South Africa, and has backed sanctions against Sudan.[16] On April 28, 2006, Jackson Lee, along with four other members of Congress and six other activists, was arrested for disorderly conduct in front of Sudan's embassy in Washington. They were protesting the role of Sudan's government in ethnic cleansing in Darfur.[17]
Jackson Lee is active on immigration issues.[18] She has proposed increasing border security and increasing opportunities for legalization among those living in the United States. She has opposed a guest worker program, saying that the idea of guest: "connotate[s] `invite, come,' and, at the same time, it misleads because you ask people to come for a temporary job of three to six years and they have to leave if they don't have another job and I would think that they would not."[19]
Jackson Lee has urged better relations between the U.S. and Venezuela, which she describes as a friendly nation. She said the U.S. should reconsider its ban on selling F-16 fighter jets and spare parts to that country. The U.S. State Department bans such sales due to "lack of support" for counter-terrorist operations and Venezuela's relations with Iran and Cuba.[20][21]
In July 2010 Jackson Lee said: "Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side."[22] It was noted that Vietnam had not been split for four decades.[23][24]
Speaking in July 2010 at the NAACP national convention, Jackson Lee compared the Tea Party to the KKK.[25]
Jackson Lee said in January 2011 that repealing the health care law would be in violation of the Constitution. She argued that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is constitutional under the Commerce Clause, and that repealing it would violate both the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.[26] [27] [28]
At a Homeland Security Committee hearing on radical Muslims in the US, held in March 2011, Jackson Lee said that Peter King's hearings were helping al-Qaeda and "going the same route as Arizona." She complained that the hearings were scaring Muslim Americans and called them "an outrage."[29]
She supports building a high-speed rail system in Texas.[30]
She supports extending unemployment insurance to working men and women. [31]
Committee assignments
- Committee on Homeland Security
- Committee on the Judiciary
Caucus memberships
Jackson Lee is or has been a member of a number of caucuses, including: the 9-11 Commission Caucus, the Building a Better America Caucus (BABAC), the Congressional Caucus on Global Road Safety, and the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. Task forces in which she has participated include Children and Families, Homeland Security, Immigration, and Katrina. She has been the co-chair of the Congressional Algeria Caucus, the Congressional Pakistan Caucus, the Democratic Outreach Task Force, and the US-Afghan Caucus. Jackson Lee has also been a member of the House Democratic Steering Committee.
Personal life
Jackson Lee moved to Houston after her husband, Dr. Elwyn C. Lee, took a job at the University of Houston. Her husband now holds a dual position of Vice Chancellor and Vice President for Student Affairs of the University of Houston System and the University of Houston, respectively.[1]

text: 9 Don't miss out on one of the best online shooters. Viper2847 wrote this review on October 24, 2008. This game is amazing. As long as you view the game as if it doesnt have the server/bug issues (because eventually it will be fixed) its an astounding game in every way in terms of gameplay,graphics and especially sound. The few games I did play where everything ran smooth without any issues PROVES that when this game gets patched up it will be amazing and its by far the best socom game to date. Another great thing about socom is how almost everyone has headsets so the games dont go without talking as many other online games on PS3. The headset is also a must have because the game is completely team based so it comes very handy to use for making strategies with your fellow teammates and friends. I totally recommend this game to anyone interested in a great realistic/tactical online shooter with so much action that at times it might make you think you are in a real warzone.

Your Tech Questions Answered
Nuts, I'm Confused
Don't Rock the Block
I'm 16 years old and have a '93 Ford F-250 with the 5.8L 351 engine. I want to lift it 4 inches, but here in West Virginia it's illegal to use blocks in the front. I was hoping you guys had some ideas to help me out. Thanks.
AJ Glotfelty
West Virginia
Front lift blocks are illegal because they are dangerous. If a lift block comes out from between the leaf pack and axle, the truck can crash and kill you, a busload of nuns, and the little old lady walking her dog on the sidewalk. It may sound funny, but it's serious. Just say no to lift blocks up front. Rear block applications do not see the side load stresses that a front axle does, so they are more acceptable in the rear, but even there I usually recommend a new leaf pack or add-a-leaf in the rear if available.
I assume you want lift blocks because you are on a budget, but you'd be better off saving up for a proper suspension than trying to cobble something together that is unsafe. Because your truck has a twin traction beam front axle and leaf springs, it also has additional brackets that make lifting it 4 inches more expensive. I would either wait and save up the $1,200-$1,300 for a proper suspension or, if your truck is infected with rust around the wheelwells as many East Coast trucks are, trim open the wheelwells and stuff in bigger rubber on the stock suspension.
Since I feel your question is important for many readers I'm awarding you this month's Nuts, I'm Confused prize from BDS Suspension (www.bdssuspension.com): a BDS gift certificate toward a suspension system. BDS has many suspension products for a wide variety of 4x4s and can help you upgrade your truck for bigger tires and better off-road performance. I currently have a BDS suspension on my '79 F-150, and it rides good and easily clears 35-inch tires. BDS has long supported our Ultimate Adventure trip and has a 4-inch suspension that would work on your truck with a lift block in the rear and new leaf springs up front. Plus BDS has the No Fine Print guarentee: If you are the original purchaser of the part and it fails, BDS will give you a new part, period.
8.1 Get-R-Done
I have an '02 Chevy 2500HD with the 8.1L engine. Have you done any projects with this motor, and what upgrades did you make?
David R.
Aiken, SC
Funny you should ask about the 8.1. I have a big 3⁄4-ton Avalanche outside my office door with an 8.1 in it, and I also came across an 8.1 in the local classifieds for pretty cheap and started thinking about these last of the GM big-blocks. The Avalanche has had nothing but an aftermarket air cleaner installed and a cat-back exhaust, but I have drooled over the Raylar Big Power engine kits (866.496.8181, www.raylarengine.com). Raylar offers a line of mild to wild upgrades for the 8.1 in truck, motorhome, and marine applications.
I spoke to Raylar about your project and they recommended a Stainless Steel long tube header from Stainless Works (www.stainlessworks.net) and a MagnaFlow (www.magnaflow.com) or Dynomax (www.dynomax.com) crossover 3-inch dual in-and-out muffler. The Raylar team recommends the factory air intake for maximum cool fresh air compared to aftermarket air cleaner setups they've tested. And finally, they have found an ECM tune that removes the Torque Management and can help power and torque where the factory reduced it for drivetrain protection.
After that, Raylar offers everything from aluminum heads and cams to complete engine packages with superchargers and custom intakes. The smog legality of many of these upgrades may be an issue depending on where you live, and the price of building a big-block is never small. However, with claims of power upgrades in the range of 400-500 hp, not to mention the crate engines at over 750 hp, you have to agree that there is no replacement for displacement.
Readers, what do you think about big-blocks these days such as the 8.1 (496) GM? With the price of fuel and smog issues, many here in California are scared of them, but do you guys in other regions still like big-block power for your 4x4s? I don't like paying $4/gallon any more than the next guy, but there is something about big cubes that is just so cool. Let us know at email@example.com and use the subject line "Yes to big-blocks!"
Come to the 'Con
I live in Germany and I have a small Jeep flatfender. I have been working on it for a few years and would like to come to America to drive the famous Rubicon Trail. What should I do to the Jeep to prepare it for that trip? When is the best time to go do the Rubicon? Can I hire a guide? Any advice would be helpful.
Joseph K.
Four-wheelers have been driving the Rubicon from the beginning in Willys flatfenders. You could do the trail in a completely stock flatty, but locking differentials, power steering, reinforced steering components, and aggressive tires will make the trip a little easier. The best event for experiencing the Rubicon has got to be the Jeepers Jamboree. This three- or four-day event is great for beginners and experienced wheelers alike. They feed you, they help newbies over the hard obstacles, they can help fix broken Jeeps, and there is a great party at the halfway point with vendors and plenty of food and drink. If you want to come experience the 'Con, come with the Jeepers (www.jeepersjamboree.com).

Fall 2013 quarter
- Faculty
- Robert Leverich visual arts, architecture , Gretchen Van Dusen , Robert Knapp physics, sustainable design , Anthony Tindill sustainable design
- Fields of Study
- architecture, environmental studies, sustainability studies and visual arts
- Preparatory for studies or careers in
- visual arts, environmental design, architecture, art education and sustainability studies. This program is preparatory for Green Materials: Craft and Construction that follows in winter and spring quarters.
- Prerequisites
- This foundational program in studio design assumes no previous background in design. Students should be eager to take on challenging intellectual, technical, and hands-on work, in the classroom and the studio.
- Description
In a world full of man-made stuff, what does it mean to be a maker of things? How does what you make, the materials you choose, and how you shape them define and speak for you, as an individual, and as part of a culture or community, or an environment? What's been handed to you, and what will you hand on?
This is a foundational program for those who are drawn to envisioning and making things, from art and craft to architecture and environments, and who are open to thinking about that work as both creative self-expression and responsive engagement with materials, environments, and communities. It's a serious introduction to studio-centered creative work – each student will be part of a working studios to focus on individual and group 3D projects that address art, craft, and construction challenges at a variety of scales, with supporting work in drawing, design, and fabrication skills, materials science, environmental history and ideas, and sustainable practices. Collaboratively, we will engage this work as art, science, expression, and service, challenging such distinctions and looking for commonalities of approach and meaning. Book possibilities include Pallasmaa: The Thinking Hand; Cooper: Drawing and Perceiving: Life Drawing for Students of Architecture and Design ; Berge, The Ecology of Building Materials; Steele: A Critical History of Ecological Architecture; Rothenburg: Survival of the Beautiful: Art, Science, and Evolution.
Engaged students will leave this program with new drawing, design, and building skills, experience with design as a multidisciplinary approach to complex problems, deeper understanding of materials and their environmental and social impacts, and fuller awareness of how the arts and architecture can shape environments and communities in ways that are ethical, beautiful, and sustainable. This program is preparatory for 3D Green: Craft and Construction that follows in Winter and Spring quarters.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Talladega officials estimated that a crowd of 88,000 for Sunday's Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500, the smallest crowd for a Sprint Cup race at Talladega since figures have been provided.
The estimated crowd was 20,000 less than the previous low of 108,000 announced for this year's spring race, the Aaron's 499.
The track drew a combined 315,000 fans for its two annual Cup races as recently as 2007, but that number has steadily declined since.
It's a trend that NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, Sunday's runner-up, can't understand.
"From an entertainment standpoint, they should be lined up out to the highway out there," he said. "That I don't get at all. That makes no sense to me."
Talladega is NASCAR's biggest and fastest track. It's known for three- and four-wide racing through high-banked turns and big crashes.
A last-lap crash involving 20 cars punctuated an exciting finish to Sunday's race, won by Matt Kenseth.
Talladega's fall race falls during the Chase for the Cup, NASCAR's version of a playoff among the top 12 drivers, covering the circuit's final 10 races of the year.
But Talladega's trend of falling attendance matches that of NASCAR's. Attendance for Cup races is down 2.4 percent from a year ago and 8.5 percent from 2009, according to USA Today.
The main culprit, NASCAR and track officials have said, is the global economic downturn that started in the fall of 2008. It's especially tough for a track in the heart of the Southeast.
"There's enough NASCAR fans in the Southeast that would come to Talladega, but right now, all the states that touch Alabama, as well as South Carolina … they're in six of the 10 top most economically depressed states in the nation," Talladega Superspeedway chairman Grant Lynch.
He also cited gas prices and race-weekend hotel rate spikes in surrounding areas as aggravating factors.
"It's not a great thing that's keeping people from coming, but it's one that's always kind of irked me," he said. "… That's why we're working so hard on sending people to Birmingham, where there's some great rates over there for them to come and stay in a hotel, because not everybody wants to camp."
While identifying the main cause of falling attendance at Talladega is simple, Lynch seemed at a loss about how to reverse the trend without an economic resurgence.
"All we can do is to continue to try to improve our facility and put on the best show we can for the fans and hope that they think the values we're offering out there and the products that we're presenting to them make good sense to them as a way to spend their hard-earned dollars and come and have a weekend of great entertainment," he said.
Lynch cited deals available in the Allison Grandstand, which was less than half full Sunday. A two-day ticket covering Saturday's lower-circuit races and Sunday's Cup races is $49, and kids 12-under get in free.
"Talladega is one of the few race tracks where you can camp for free, and you can bring your own food and beverage in," he said. "So, we're doing our part to offer affordable opportunities for race fans to see, probably, maybe the most exciting race that will be on the Chase this year."
Lynch sees non-economic factors that could be impacting Talladega, as well.
He said the fall race, in particular, could be suffering from going head to head with college football at a time when Alabama and Auburn have won the past three national championships. This year's Alabama team holds the No. 1 ranking in both major national polls.
Talladega races also suffered negative publicity because of NASCAR aerodynamic quirks that effectively encouraged drivers to stay in two-car tandems for extended periods during races from 2009 through 2011. The racing was less exciting.
NASCAR made rules changes after 2011 designed to bring back pack racing, and the pack made noticeable returns in both Talladega races this year.
Lynch also pointed to Wednesday tests of a new car designs slated for 2013. A three-car draft with spacing went faster than a nose-to-bumper, two-car tandem.
"There's a lot of things they've done with the car, taking away spoilers and a lot of different things," Lynch said. "The front ends and the rear of the cars don't provide such a big, broad, flat base to do the pushing with.
"There's a little bit of rounding to the front, and no noses are the same with the new, kind of individual makes of the body styles from different manufacturers. They have a little bit different nose, so they're not going to match up as good as the current car does."

Allen's bill, he has told the press, will protect teachers and students who want to greet each other and everyone else with "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" or "happy holidays." What they are being protected from is not clear, plus we can't be certain if anyone saying these things has been threatened in some way.
In 2005, a nationwide protest led by a Catholic civil rights organization took place after an email from a Wal-Mart employee instructed company workers to say "happy holidays." Wal-Mart repudiated the letter and fired the worker, but the rumor mill kept grinding and some people began a personal "in-your-face" Merry Christmas campaign, which certainly delighted the One whose birthday was being celebrated.
Now Allen thinks Alabama needs a law to protect what is, in effect, the free exercise of already protected speech.
Here is a state with a host of financial, social and environmental issues, and instead of addressing these, a state senator pre-files a bill that will accomplish nothing but take up legislative time.
Interestingly, the bill also protects the right of teachers to teach about "traditional winter celebrations," which opens the door for Christmas and Hanukkah to be joined by the Chinese New Year, Kwanzaa, Three Kings Day, Eid Al Adha, Bodhi and the ever popular Saturnalia.
Soon there would be more celebrating than studying, test scores would go down and a legislator would introduce a bill to consolidate the celebrations. You can imagine the furor that would follow.
Making sure the "C-word" stood out in his announcement, Allen stated that "this legislation protects our conservative Alabama values by ensuring that people of all faiths are free to celebrate traditional holidays openly and without fear of litigation and punishment."
Truth is, people of all faiths are already free to do just that.
Allen's bill will waste time the Alabama Legislature can ill afford to waste.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Columbia >Hair Care >
Barbers >Tillman Salon
1507 Gervais St, Columbia, SC | Directions 2920134.003057 -81.028346
Mon-Fri 8:00 AM-5:00 PM,Sat-Sun Closed
Neighborhoods: Midtown - Downtown
Wow what an amazing experience, my hair has never looked this awesome! I highly suggest Tillman's. Their prices are great! I will keep going back there. I have been going to the same salon for years then I moved to columbia. Im so happy I found them. They are an aveda salon so they focus on a relaxing experience and it was! It was worth every penny!
best experience i have had in a long time! – I just recently moved back to columbia, and had been going to the same stylist for many years. As anyone would be, I was extremely nervous about trying a new place and a new stylist. I love Aveda so naturally I tried Tillman Salon. I was booked with Mark who immediately made me feel comfortable once meeting him. He was very thorough in the consultation and did an amazing job on my cut and highlights! But what was even better was how affordable he was. My misconception was I thought Tillman's pricing was through the roof! Great cut, highlights, and style for under $100! I will definitely be back
Okay Haircut, but definitely overpriced – I agree with the other reviews: the place is professional and you get a decent cut and coloring, but charging a (undisclosed until after my service) consultation fee of $20 something dollars for basically my telling my stylist what i wanted is/was kind of ridiculous. My haircut/color wasn't bad but wasn't anything out of the ordinary, especially for the too-high price. I've since found another Aveda salon on Sunset Blvd., Huei Aveda- and feel that it's a better deal for my money. From work I don't have to drive as far and it doesn't charge a consultation fee--which, for $20 I'd save and get a set of shampoo and conditioner.
Awesome stylist and professional atmosphere! – I have been going to Tillman Salon since 1998 and can't go anywhere else. Even when I have moved away from Columbia I still go back to see "Till". Their color/highlights are natural and not over-processed looking. The haircuts I get always receive lots of compliments and are ahead of current trends. I can let my designer determine how I look best and style accordingly. Sure it is more expensive but it is really worth it. You are in a great environment that is exceptionally clean and relaxing. The staff is very professional and friendly. Love this place and highly recommend!
Tillman Salon on Gervais St. – Elyse actually knows how to cut and style curly hair without putting a ton of product in it. ahhhhhhhhhhh...
Decent cut, but not worth the fuss – I made an appointment with Tillman salon because I'm totally into Aveda. I used to get my hair done by another stylist at another salon. I moved away only to realize I'm not able to find a better stylist. My old hairstylist was nowhere to be found. So, I basically settled for Tillman salon. First of all, the prices are outrageous. I don't mind paying good money for my hair, which I do frequently, but paying $250 for a touch up straightening and cut was unreal!! Not to mention the $20 consultation fee which was not applied to my other service. Wasted almost $300 and two days for an average hair trim...and I didn't book with a student or apprentice. I booked with the 'master' himself so my hair should of been on point. Don't get me wrong, he was totally nice and professional, but it's Columbia, SC...not NYC. I wished to God I could find my previous hair stylist...Matt Johnson. He used to work at Cline's in the Vista. I have not returned to Cline's after I found out he didn't work there anymore. Matt Johnson was AWESOME. Anybody know where he is??
Best, best, best color and cut I've ever had! – I went to Till for color after meeting several people who looked fabulous and revealed their secret: hair color by Till. I love the salon and the staff is great. Although it isn't necessary for a good cut, I really look forward to the short massage I get every time I go there. So relaxing! I also really like the cucumber water and tea they serve - yum!
Worst. Haircut. Ever. – OK, that headline is unfair. It's not the worst haircut I've ever had. That would still be the time my then 4-year-old cut my hair (I was 6). But this is the worst hair cut I've paid for.
I don't know how I could have been any more explicit: "I want it short." She would cut and then ask me if it looked OK. "No, I would like it short, please." Three times we would go through this. Finally, I gave up. When I paid at the front desk I looked in the mirror and and the receptionist asked if I liked my cut. "I'll get used to it," was my reply. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
And for the privilege of getting a haircut I hate, I got to pay an exorbitant price too!
Average for the price – The price suggests more upscale treatment, but the actual experience was rather average. Some friends and I were preparing for an event and decided to go to this establishment. We weren't disappointed, but we were not overly impressed either.
Very Overpriced – I recently moved to Columbia from Dallas and was nervous about finding a new hair salon. I went to an Aveda salon in Dallas that I loved so I figured I couldn't go wrong with that...but that wasn't the case. First, it was almost impossible to make an appointment. Every time I called I got an answering machine and when I finally left a message no one called me back. I should have seen this as a sign. They charge $15 (I think) for a "consultation". I decided I would give it a try. When I went back to get my hair highlighted she barely remembered what we had talked about.
In most upscale salons you are offered lemon water, coffee or even a glass of wine. Not here. Now, I could really care less if they offer me a drink, however, after being there for almost 4 hours I was quite parched. And considering the price they charged this should definitely be part of the service. The stylist was nice enough, but did what SHE thought was best for my hair. So, instead of making it look presentable it is now a "Work in progress" as my natural color grows out (hard to explain). It isn't like I was coloring my own hair before I came here - I was going to another Aveda salon! After getting the bill I was floored at the amount. They had told me the 100% foil would be $100 but I didn't expect the haircut to cost $75. Both of these are more than I paid in a much more sophisticated Dallas Salon. I am sorry to say the whole experience was quite disappointing.

ORU Rallies for 3-1 Win over Stephen F. Austin
ORU took the match by scores of 26-28, 25-14, 25-15 and 25-12. The win gives ORU their first 20-win season since 2011 and the sixth 20-win campaign of the Sheera Sirola Era.
Sara Pope recorded a double-double with a team-leading 17 kills and 10 digs, one of many standout individual performances on Tuesday night. Bruna Silva added a team-high 24 digs and Laura Taylor dished 49 assists.
Pope was one of three players with double-digit kills as Nika Mostahinic tallied 13 and Jessica Pancratz came up with a dozen. ORU hit .263 as a team.
Five Golden Eagles, meanwhile, had double-digit digs, led by Silva's 24. Sthephanie Mab set a career-high with 19 digs, Kylie Johnson notched 13, Taylor capped a double-double with 12 and Pope had 10.
Jill Ivy led the Ladyjacks (16-14, 8-9 SLC) with 14 kills, but the home team hit just .079. OJ Olson had a team-best 20 digs.
ORU fell behind in the 1st set, 9-5, before rallying to take a 15-14 lead on an SFA error. Later a solo block from Jovana Poljasevic stretched the lead to 21-17, but the Golden Eagles could not close it out. The Ladyjacks came all the way back to take the lead and they finally won the set, 28-26, when Justice Walker cranked a kill on their third set point.
The Golden Eagles came back to dominate the 2nd set. A Pope kill started a seven-point run for Sirola's team that gave the visitors a 13-7 lead. The advantage hit 20-12 on a Taylor kill, and Pancratz had an ace at set point as ORU claimed a 25-14 win.
ORU led the entire 3rd set and won it in easy fashion. A Luara Rosa kill doubled SFA up at 8-4, and another Pancratz kill made it 17-10. The Golden Eagles were never challenged, with a Mostahinic kill giving the road team a 25-15 win.
With the momentum of the previous two sets in hand, ORU steamrolled the Ladyjacks in set number four. A 6-0 rally, capped by another Mostahinic kill, staked ORU to a 14-6 lead, and Pope scored three straight points for ORU to make the score 21-9. ORU went on to win the set, 25-12, to clinch the match.
The win, combined with an October 3 five-set victory in Tulsa, gives ORU a season sweep over Stephen F. Austin.
ORU will take the court again on Thursday, November 14 against Southeastern Louisiana in their penultimate outing of the regular season. Match time at the Kenneth H. Cooper Aerobics Center is scheduled for 7 pm CT.

Lovely quiet secluded site, very well kept, and extremely clean, everything we wanted and expected from a Club site. Two very minor issues, speed humps too many, and an awareness sign to the site, prior to the actual turning would be good rather than it being visible on arriving at the site turning. In saying that, the wardens, Rob and Wendy, well overlooked these issues, which are more liked to be owned by the owner of the site. Rob and Wendy were friendly, professional and very helpful. Their energy and enthusiasm brilliant - they are an asset to the Club, and any site they run. We look forward to meeting them again.

Family of confessed serial killer holds WA funeralBy NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
THE Associated Press | December 11,2012DEER PARK, Wash. The family of confessed serial killer Israel Keyes held a funeral Sunday remembering him in a small Washington town. He is not in a better place. Hes in a place of eternal torment, said Jake Gardner, the pastor for Israel Keyess family, before the funeral in Deer Park, Wash., a town about 15 miles north of Spokane.
The 34-year-old Keyes confessed to killing eight people across the country before he committed suicide recently in a jail cell in Anchorage, Alaska. The FBI and Anchorage police now say they believe he may have had three additional victims. Authorities in Oregon are also investigating whether Keyes also had murder victims there.
Keyes slit his wrist and strangled himself with bedding and was found dead last Sunday.
He was facing federal murder charges in the kidnapping and death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, who was abducted from an Anchorage coffee stand on Feb. 1.
On Sunday, his funeral was attended by his mother, Heidi, and four of his sisters. The family did not make a statement to the press.
Gardner said the family decided to hold the funeral in Deer Park because it was a convenient location in case any of his acquaintances wanted to attend. Keyes grew up in the nearby town of Colville in Stevens County a remote corner of Washington state.
On Sunday, there was no indication of any other attendees besides family, who mostly live in Texas.
Israel rejected the gospel and thus the outcome of his life is this tragic story, said Gardner of the Church of Wells in Wells, Texas.
Gardner said Keyes will be buried later at an undisclosed location in Washington.
Law enforcement officers in Anchorage conducted up to 40 hours of interviews with Keyes after his March arrest in Texas. During that time, Keyes confessed to killing Koenig, Bill and Lorraine Currier in Vermont and five other people, although details about those victims were sparse.
Investigators said Keyes told them he enjoyed killing people and seeing coverage of his crimes in the media.
Keyes told investigators the first violent crime he committed was a sexual assault in Oregon between 1996 and 1998 in which he let the victim go. The FBI is seeking more information on that crime.
Of the five other murders Keyes confessed to, four were in Washington state and one on the East Coast, with the body disposed of in New York.
Law enforcement officers are combing through unsolved homicide files trying to learn who Keyes killed, because he provided little information on those cases.
Authorities in the Spokane and Colville areas have said its unlikely that Keyes was responsible for any of the unsolved homicides on their books.
Shortly before his arrest in March, Keyes attended a sisters wedding in Texas, where he ranted in mid-ceremony about how he didnt believe in God, Gardner said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Three Vermont ski areas at least partially located in the Green Mountain National...

Clay Castille | February 6, 2013 8:40 AM
I for one think Ocean's 12 is underrated. I'm not calling it Top Tier Soderbergh, not at all, but within the context of the series, I'm happy to see the Playlist give it even this much love. Yes, the seams begin to show, but any phony feelings are purged by the magnetism of the cast. I remember reading interviews with Pitt and Damon during filming and it didn't sound pressured at all (for better and for worse). They spent a lot of time at Clooney's home on Lake Cuomo, boating, swimming, etc. Having a blast. The chemistry shows on screen and in my eyes makes it the most honest of the Ocean's films. It is the only one of the three that comes close to acknowledging what they are, a one big 2 hour long A-list wankfest. Forget 13 with its earthquake machine, a bizarrely bed-ridden Elliot Gould and Matt Damon's fake nose. 12 was the cast and Soderbergh at their loosest and wildest without descending into parody (and also saccharine nostalgia). A strange, kooky meta-movie in which our world's biggest movie stars weren't just paid to look like they're having a blast with each other, it's up on the screen, the heist is on all of us.
Richard313 | February 5, 2013 10:01 PM
It should also be said, Soderbergh provides some of best director commentaries ever on his films. Each one is a master class in filmmaking. Its a shame we did not get commentaries on Contagion or Mike.
Glass | February 5, 2013 5:10 PM
Holyshit!! Awesome retrospective. That's a shitload of work, guys. Soderbergh will always be one of my favorite directors, and I'm really glad he's retiring, in a weird way. I'd rather he stop now instead of making the work of an obviously bored artist. So happy he's on twitter now, too.
rodie | February 5, 2013 3:33 PM
Great summary of Soderbergh's career. I'll just add that anyone who hasn't seen Schizopolis, do so now. There's a great Criterion version. It's such a hilarious movie. Incredibly low budget, shot completely in Baton Rouge. If someone like Bill Murray had starred in the film, instead of Soderbergh himself, then it would be a cult classic today! To us Soderbergh fans, it still is. Thank you Playlist.
jp | February 5, 2013 2:40 PM
Still think Matt Damon's turn in The Informant is his finest and one of my favorite performances of recent memory.
Stephen B | February 5, 2013 2:23 PM
Although no DoP is credited, Schizopolis was Soderbergh's first time serving as cinematographer.
The Underneath has a couple of great scenes, especially the sequence with the is-he-or-isn't-he? hit man in the hospital room. Also think Haywire is better than a C+, but everything else is pretty dead-on.

The only twist is that the groom was playing the piano with an orchestra comprised of wedding party members with the bride as the conductor.
"Music has always been a part of my life," Miller said with a laugh, remembering that she persevered through the number, despite an uncooperative wedding dress with a halter neck that threatened to untie and fall off.
Wedding dress or not, the California native is among the five candidates for the position of new conductor of the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra. Each of the candidates will conduct a performance leading up to the final concert on March 29 when the new conductor will be announced.
Miller has been non-stop in her pursuit of a long-time dream — music. Having played the violin and piano early in life, Miller recalls her musician mother pointing out that she had a knack for organizing classmates and bandmates for musical numbers.
"She got the idea rolling when I was 16," Miller said. "And since the first time I conducted an assembled group in college (at Oberlin) I didn't look back."
If chosen for the job, Miller would be the first female to conduct the Reno Philharmonic in its 40-year history. She has been conducting all around the country, earning international acclaim most recently in her current post as the conductor of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Miller also recently completed a stay as the American Conducting Fellow of The Houston Symphony.
Other ventures have taken her to guest conducting at The Bard Festival in New York and with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, to name a few, in a whirlwind of style that she likes to call "a good mix of repertoire."
"Of course, there are the classics, which have survived this amount of years for a reason," Miller said. "But I also like to explore the music of today, because there's a lot of music that's being written today that's really exciting stuff."
Indicative of her eclectic style, Sunday's and Tuesday's performances are set to showcase composer Pierre Jalbert, which she describes as "really inventive with driving percussion and feet-tapping dance rhythms," the "beautiful, lyric concerto" from Alexander Glazunov and finally a classical number: Beethoven's Symphony No. 3.
Known for her engaging podium manner and energetic programming style, Miller said she hopes to be able to get to know the members of the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and gauge a feeling for where she would like to take the ensemble.
"This is very much a part of their lives (Reno Philharmonic)," Miller said. "I don't want to make it something they're not. I need to know where they want to go and where the community wants it to go, it's very much of a partnership."
Miller said she plans to look further into Reno composers and hopes to feature music native to Nevada.
Among her musical influences, Miller claims New York Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Leonard Bernstein as one of her strongest.
"He was the eptiome of the great conductor," Miller said. "He didn't care what people thought of him. His music came from within."
Accordingly, Miller sets her personal standards for a great conductor very high.
"A great conductor is someone who knows what they want, is not afraid to ask for it and knows how to ask for it," Miller said. "And getting people to play their absolute best, while staying faithful to the score."
Sunday's performance begins at 4 p.m at the Pioneer Theater in Reno and Tuesday's performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $27, with available student and senior discounts.

Earthworm Jim Remake Coming to 360, PS3, Wiiby Nick Breckon, Aug 18, 2009 3:41pm PDT
Following the announcement yesterday that a new Earthworm Jim title was headed to Xbox Live, Wii and PlayStation Network, there was some confusion as to just what that meant--whether the title was an entirely new game, or a port or remake of the original.
Thankfully, Gameloft today cleared up the confusion, confirming to G4TV that the title is in fact a remake of the first Earthworm Jim.
The game will arrive on Xbox Live exclusively for one month, and follow later on PlayStation Network and Wii.
