- Description
At KIND we craft delicious, healthful foods from wholesome all-natural ingredients you can see and pronounce.® We believe that food should never be processed to the point that you can no longer tell what it is. That's why we use whole nuts and fruit, and bind them together with honey through a natural process that keeps them fresh, brings out their flavor, and achieves just the right amount of crunch. That's why we say: "It's not a bar - It's KIND."™
KIND was founded on the principle of holistic kindness, and we pride ourselves on creating new paths that avoid false compromises, Instead of "Or", we say "And". We choose both healthy and tasty, convenient and wholesome, economically sustainable and socially impactful.
Our award-winning products and civic initiatives all stem from our desire to make this world a little kinder. In this spirit, we aspire for KIND to be not just a great brand of healthy snacks and foods, but also a state of mind and community.

- Health Notes
Energy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponEnergy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan.
Put your hunger behind bars
First, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again."
In fact, substituting an energy bar-paired with an apple or veggie salad-for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
- at least 200 calories
- 3 grams or less saturated fat
- 3 grams or more fiber (to help you feel full)
- at least 10 grams of protein (to help tide you over till your next meal)
Indulge in your favorite flavors
As a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging.
"After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars.
Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals.
Pick the best bar for the job
As the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy.
If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger.Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide!

R Ovadiah Sforno was one of the glories of Italian Jewry, a community that, for many centuries, produced Torah luminaries far out of proportion to its size. Born in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, he experienced the agony and trauma of the Spanish Inquisition, new persecutions in Italy, and Papal enmity. Despite these travails, Sforno grew constantly in Torah, personal stature, and in his gifts to posterity.
Though he was one of the great halachic authorities of Italy, his fame rests primarily on his commentaries to many books of the Scripture. However, he wrote extensively on other areas of the Torah as well, and his commentary on Pirkei Avos/Ethics of the Fathers is one of his little known gems. Hardly ever published, this masterpiece is now available in the original Hebrew and with an exceptional translation and commentary.
As Sforno writes in the introduction to his classic commentary on the Torah, he wrote ``because our people dwell in an alien land and concentrate their efforts on the accumulation of wealth, feeling that this will protect them from the exigencies of their time. This in turn results in a condition where they have no proper time to consider the wonders and wisdom of our Torah, and even brings them to question the importance of our holy Torah, becoming critical of its teachings, for they do not understand it properly.
Was not Sforno speaking to our generation as well as to his own?
The first to render Sforno in English was Rabbi Raphael Pelcovitz, the renowned rabbi emeritus of Congregation Knesseth Israel in Far Rockaway, New York. He distinguished himself with his magnificent rendering of Sfornos Commentary on the Torah. Now he continues his pioneering work with this new volume.
In this capstone to an eminent career as a scholar, teacher, and leader, Rabbi Pelcovitz performs an enduring service, both to the Sforno and to English-speaking Jews everywhere.

M Closed, Tu-W 10am-6pm, Th 10am-8pm, F 10am-6pm, Sa 10am-4pm, Su Closed
Great Spa! – My sister and I took our mom for massages and we picked Serenity because there was a Groupon for it. I had never heard of it before it is off the beaten path but it is a great spa!! We had a great time and the massages were amazing. I am so glad Groupon helped us find this little treasure!
Fantastic Spa! – I have severe back and shoulder pain and the only thing that provides some relief is a massage. I've had a lot of massages over the years, some good, some bad and the massages that I've had at Serenity Spa are the best I've ever had! I wish I had time to go back more often. The staff there are all very friendly and accommodating. I also love the ease of making appointments through the website. I can't say enough good things about Serenity Spa!
Serenity Spa in Anchorage - a charming spa – I have visited many spas in the Louisville area. Without a doubt, Serenity Spa is the finest. It's a charming spa offering all of the amenities. I frequently get massages and facials there. Both are superb. Denise and her experienced, friendly staff are great. The setting in downtown Anchorage is perfect!
Best Couples Packages! – When I first decided on when my wedding was going to be, my sister-in-law surprised my fiance' and I with a gift to the Serenity Spa for a Couple's visit for a facial, wine, massage, wine, relaxing to the MAX! Since then, he is usually the one who says "Is it time for us to go have a facial and massage?" I love it that Denise and Jessica made him feel so comfortable that HE actually makes the plans to go back!!
Great place for a massage – Serenity Spa is an excellent place to get a relaxing massage. I've had several and enjoyed every one. The punctual and professional staff is very friendly and accommodating. There is a warm laid back atmosphere where you are made to feel special. I've tried other places for comparison but always return to Serenity Spa.
Hidden gem in Anchorage – Everything I want/need is available, i.e. massage, facial, skin care products (with educated people to sell it to me), mani/pedi, makeup, but most importantly amazing skilled professionals. Denise, the owner, has magical hands which are able to work out all my problems in my back and shoulders.
Great Facial! – I received a facial from Denise at Serenity. It was one of the best facials I have ever received! I left the quaint spa feeling clean, refreshed and relaxed. I would recommend them to anyone and can't wait to go back myself!!
Best spa in town! – Serenity skin care is a wonderful spa with outstanding staff and services. As soon as you walk in, you can feel the stress roll off your shoulders. The massages are wonderful and the facials are so refreshing. Personally, their spa pedicure is the best in town! I find myself wearing flip flops for at least two days because my feet feel and look amazing! I have also gotten several spa manicures which are also the best. Not to mention the polish lasts well over a week! I highly recommend this spa to anyone that wants a true spa experience where you are treated as a person and not a number like other large spas around town.
Wonderful!!!!! – It says it all in the name SERENITY! The mood is very calm, comfortable and tranquil. I love fact that it's small and quaint because they actuallly treat you like a person instead of a customer.
Perfect getaway – This is an absolutely charming spa with FABULOUS services and people. I have been fortunate to travel to spas worldwide BUT always love coming home to Serenity! A must try!

Summary of Hell Gate Summary of Hell Gate Reviews for Hell Gate An Excerpt from Hell Gate
Contraband cargo-young and female-from a wrecked Ukraine freighter washes up on Rockaway Beach. But one victim died before she even hit the dark waters of the Atlantic. Only one other story has the power to grab New York ADA Alexandra Cooper's attention-that of a New York congressman's dive into disgrace following a sordid sex scandal.
When Alexandra discovers that the freighter victim and the congressman's lover are connected in a way that simply can't be coincidence, it strikes her that these cases aren't as unrelated as they seem. She unearths a secret that will not only shatter the entire political landscape of New York, but expose Alexandra to the darkest, most dangerous, and most profoundly disturbing revelation of her career.

Beauty >Cosmetic & Laser Specialists L. Jack Cheng, Md, PHD
3365 Piedmont Rd Ne Ste 1250, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030533.845808 -84.372484
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
Neighborhoods: Northside, North Buckhead, Northside
I used a livingsocial deal to get Dysport from Dr. Cheng. I now have bruises across my forehead from the injections. I have had botox at another spa and not had this occur. The other annoying part was his nurse started to up sell me from the minute I was in the room. Overall my experience was very negative and I would never let this man stick me with a needle again!!!
Dr. Jack Cheng CLS Atlanta – I recently received a dysport treatment from Dr. Cheng on my forehead. I have to say it is the best cosmetic treatment I have ever received. I don't have a frozen or heavy eyebrow look which has been a problem in the past. I have been getting botox for the past 3 years and after being disappointed with my last treatment of botox I decided to try Dr. Cheng. He is very professional and pleasant. He put me at ease right away and I felt no pressure to have anything "extra" done. I couldn't be happier with the results and the reasonable price as well! It accomplished exactly what I wanted and looks very natural. Also, I had no bruising. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng and will be going to him in the future.
Finally!!! – I have been searching for an excellent doctor to lead and guide me on my search for age prevention... I have been searching Atlanta for three years trying to find someone who met my standards for botox/dysport injections as well as future procedures..Dr Cheng has surpassed my expectations. Finding a doctor one can trust and count on is a wonderful feeling....There are so many to choose from in Atlanta and it can be overwhelming...Well , look no more....
Dr. Jack Cheng CLS Atlanta – I have been going to Dr. Cheng for over a year for Dermal filler injections. Dr. Cheng took his time and ask what my expectations were. He does the treatments with the skill of an artist. He approaches with a goal in mind and each time he stands back and evaluates and then proceeds. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng based on the fact that he is understanding, professional and above all has the skill to make you look better and feel better about yourself. If you are looking for any kind of skin procedure Dr. Cheng is one doctor you can trust.

Taco Bell announced the official release of its new Cool Ranch Dorito tacos, coming to stores March 7. Following in the footsteps of its successful Doritos Locos Tacos, the Cool Ranch version features a shell made from the zesty-spicy Frito Lay tortilla chip.
Inside the shell: ground seasoned beef, shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese. A "supreme" version has sour cream and diced tomatoes, for an upcharge. Taco Bell made the announcement Wednesday with a six-second Vine video, displaying the new menu item next to the recognizable blue snack bag.
"There has been enormous interest in the new Cool Ranch flavor of Doritos Locos Tacos and people are wondering why it took so long," said Greg Creed, chief executive officer of Taco Bell Corp, in a news release. "Originally we had planned to launch the Cool Ranch flavor in the same year as the introduction of Doritos Locos Tacos. However, the demand for Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos was so strong that we worked closely with our partner Frito-Lay to increase our capacity and meet the needs of both Doritos Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese fans."
The taco has a suggested price of $1.39; $1.69 for a supreme. Information: tacobell.com.

Scientific Research Corp. opens Chesapeake office
- June 8, 2011
- |
An advanced electronics engineering company has opened a Chesapeake office, its first in Virginia. Atlanta-based Scientific Research Corp. (SRC) leased 12,000 square feet in the Battlefield Corporate Park in Chesapeake's Greenbrier area. The decision to put an office in Hampton Roads, which will serve as the company's business hub there, created 82 new jobs. Altogether, SRC, which has U.S. Department of Defense and Coast Guard clients in the area, employs about 150 people in Hampton Roads.
Locally, the company provides engineering, technical, operations, training and program management support. "The Tidewater area is home to many of our important customers. The combination of attractive business conditions, a tremendous supply of highly trained individuals with prior military experience and a convenient location from which to support our customers made Chesapeake a natural location to host our operation," SRC CEO Michael Watt said in a statement.
Founded in 1988, SRC has five other major offices, including one in Washington, D.C., and employs 1,200 people worldwide.

From 2009 to 2011 the healthcare and bioscience industries in San Antonio grew by nearly $5 billion according to a new report by doctors Richard Butler and Mary Stefl from Trinity University.
The study shows the comprehensive impact in 2011 was $29.2 billion, up from $24.5 billion in 2009. Butler said that more than 40,000 new jobs have been added over the past decade to those industries, fueling the city's growth.
There are three chances to go to Holiday Pops and hear seasonal favorites with Akiko Fujimoto and the San Antonio Symphony featuring guest vocalists Cristal Smith, Eric Schmidt, and the Children's Chorus of San Antonio this weekend.
The first two concerts are at the Majestic Theatre and include holiday classics by Leroy Anderson, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and John Rutter.
Authorities in Southern California are confronting the rise in maritime smuggling of illegal immigrants and drugs. If the nation plunges over the fiscal cliff, it would have an immeasurable impact on the border. Navajos have been especially vulnerable to questionable car sales tactics and Arizona school districts are grappling with a federal mandate to improve English language instruction.
With the help of a handful of partners, the San Antonio Food Bank will no longer have to use existing funds to pay for its warehouse expansion project.
A combined $15 million – the largest campaign ever conducted by the food bank – will completely fund the project, leaving the food bank leaders to use existing money to meet the day-to-day needs of people.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who also contributed to the goal personally, joked about his presence at the press conference to announce the news.
Cyclists have the same rights to the roadways as do drivers of motor vehicles, but many drivers don't realize they have to share the road; cyclists are also more vulnerable in accidents.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus announced a two-pronged program in response to multiple cyclist deaths this year.
The educational part of program includes PSAs on TV and social media. The second prong is enforcement of the three-foot law:
A current and former San Antonio Police Department sergeant have been indicted by a Bexar County grand jury on charges involving misappropriation of funds and tampering with evidence.
The charges stem from a call last February for an individual causing a disturbance -- the individual turned out to be Sgt. Joseph Myers. He is alleged to have crashed a city-owned truck into the barrier of Hwy 281 between Josephine and Mulberry Streets and leaving the scene.

The Mexican revolution drove people into the United States and those that settled in South Texas helped shape the cultural and economic landscape of the area. This is especially notable as the Hispanic population continues to increase in the United States, and the country -- as Mayor Julián Castro put it -- begins to look like San Antonio. The last part of the show highlights a performance of Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker," a production that is a holiday tradition in San Antonio and the U.S.
Bexar County Commissioners have postponed a decision on whether a local developer can build hundreds of small-lot homes in far north Bexar County. Commissioners are asking developer Gordon Hartman to meet with attorneys and area homeowners who oppose the subdivision.
Residents of Hidden Oaks near Cibolo Creek fear the development of Century Oaks will cause harm to the environment; specifically, the Golden-Cheeked Warbler, the large oaks trees that are already being cut down, and the water. The land is over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.

Anger over huge pay rise for Winchester University vice chancellor
10:27am Thursday 12th December 2013 in News By Rachel Masker
THE HEAD of a Hampshire university has been given a £28,000 a year pay rise.
Now unions are considering action over the hike given to Professor Joy Carter, the vice chancellor of the University of Winchester, while they say staff have endured years of cuts.
It takes her pay to £222,761 - equal to a 12.6 per cent pay rise - six times the rate of inflation.
Professor Don Nutbeam, vice-chancellor of Southampton University, pay and pensions package was £333,615 - up 5.7 per cent. His salary rose from £277,000 to £294,000.
The details have emerged just days after staff from lecturers to cleaners walked out over a one per cent pay offer, claiming in real terms salaries have fallen by 13 per cent since 2008.
The University and Colleges Union (UCU) and Unite organised a series of one-day strikes in a bitter row over pay.
Winchester union activists are to meet to consider what action to take over the vice-chancellor's pay hike.
Dr Mick Jardine, regional chair for UCU, said university managers pleaded poverty when it came to staff pay rises and vice-chancellors' pay was now "an embarrassment to higher education."
And he called for vice-chancellors to justify their large pay packets when budgets were squeezed and defend themselves against the allegation they were "university fat cats."
Dr Jardine said Prof Carter's £28,000 pay rise was more than twice the annual salary of the lowest paid staff such as porters and canteen staff.
"It is outrageous, especially given that this is an Anglican foundation and the university management are quick to claim that it still retains those core values, but they don't fit with a massive and growing gap between the pay packets of the vice-chancellor and ordinary staff."
Emma Howden, a Unison representative at the University of Winchester, said some low paid staff earned less than the "living wage" of £7.45 per hour.
She said: "People are really struggling to make ends meet especially at this time of year. It is really hard but they feel so strongly they are prepared to go out on strike and sacrifice their pay to protest."
However pension contributions paid to Professor Carter fell sharply from £19,475 in 2011-12 to zero in 2012-13.
The reduction follows a change in rules which reduced the amount employees can pay into their pension pots while not incurring tax.
The UCU nationally says many university bosses appear to have received higher salaries in exchange for reduced employer contributions.
Professor Van Gore, vice-chancellor of Southampton Solent University, was paid £241,663 in 2011-12, including employer pension contributions and "other benefits" - a fall of 0.6 per cent on the previous year.
The annual accounts for 2012-13 are not yet available online.
Prof Gore's salary increased by £7,619 to £218,268 but employer pension contributions fell from £28,491 to £18,994.
Despite the outrage sparked by her pay rise, Prof Carter refused to comment. A spokesman said: "The university offers no comment at this time."
However the University of Southampton defended its vice-chancellor's pay saying his salary was in line with other top Russell group universities.
A spokesman said: "The University of Southampton is a leading UK teaching and research institution with over 23,000 students and 5,000 members of staff. It is appropriate that the vice-chancellor of such a large, complex and international institution should be comparatively remunerated."
By comparison, the University of Winchester has 694 staff and 6,328 students. And Southampton Solent University has 1,258 employees and 12,523 students.

I always get a kick out of the buzz at the Fitness Center right after January 1st. Many more feet on treadmills, many more arms lifting weights than in December. People work out with their resolutions fresh in their minds. Fresh faces, fresh resolutions, and by February most of them have faded.
I've never made a New Year's resolution. It feels like procrastinating. Once I know I have to change my exercise routine, or change my diet, I do it. I see no point in putting it off till a new year comes around. I recognize that when the number of the year changes, people reevaluate their lives. I'd prefer to reevaluate on an ongoing basis and make changes whenever I realize they're needed. If I can manage it. If, if, if!
We may slosh through snow, and grouse
Avoid the blowing wind, by staying in the house
Wish we were down south, to skip winter time
in a climate, where each primate, is an artist of some kind
a scribbler or a fiddler, or a closet singer
a dancer or an actor, or a comic with a zinger
especially when we're touched by, the Arctic's icy finger...
So whither shall we flee?
From gallery to gallery
on the 15th of January
I think I've got it right, Friday the 15th is Gallery Night!
Again! I'll sit at a table with our show, Adolph likes the couch in front of his balcony, Eli will be somewhere near his exhibit at the back of Artasia, and Joe Boblick, our guest artist, will host his reception in the revolving gallery.

I was not sure where else to post this. It's sort of related to legal stuff but also other things such as health. I moved here eight years ago as a student and promptly went through what I now suspect was a nervous breakdown. I left my university course, spent years getting messed up on various substances, and slowly let my life collapse around me. I worked a few shitty jobs, but right now I'm struggling to get by with freelance writing and web design (it's all starting to come together - I've got clients, a growing reputation, etc, I just need a few months to get everything up and running).
I'm now at a stage where I need to rebuild, and I need guidance on various aspects of this. First things first, I'm no longer registered anywhere, and I desperately need some kind of financial support to get me out of this mess I'm in. Right now I have about 50 euros left after paying my rent every month.... so, any guidance on these matters would be appreciated.
But, I also need to get professional help to sort out my psychological problems. I don't have medical insurance, and I can't see me getting it any time soon given how bad my finances are. Advice on this would be hugely appreciated, as I feel that without a strong network of support my life could easily go back downhill again, and I'm determined not to let that happen.
Thanks for reading,
Dear Jade, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so low. *virtual hug*
First of all, GO TO THE GEMEENTE. They will put you in touch with the local support teams. The gemeente is the first place to call with financial issues. They do emergency cash loans or grants, and will help you avoid debt and improve your financial situation if they can. They can get you onto the rent-controlled housing list (with huurtoeslag), maybe as an emergency: then you might afford to eat! It is also step one on the ladder for financial support, both personal and, if needed, for small businesses.
But it's not the only step. One thing I can say is there are support groups for everything here. They aren't faultless - occasionally the communication chains falter - but generally they are good.
Which area do you live in? I (and maybe others) will try to help you find your local social work agency (don't be scared by the name because they just don't have an equivalent word in other countries/languages!) For example, if you are in Amstelveen, then it would be http://www.vitawelzijnenadvies.nl/. There are other groups for immigrants, support for women, etc etc. They are genuinely there to help you improve your life in all ways: even the gemeente-small-business-advisors-who-do-the-business-loans to ZZPers are named social workers). But I bet you 10 euros you can find this information out yourself - start with the gemeente-gids, walk into a gemeente and pick one up ffrom the display shelves. Or, use the internet to find the local gemeente website. Look for the WMO loket first - this stands for wonen, welzijn, onderwijs, werk, zorg en inkomen (housing, wellbeing, education, work, care, and income).
Incidently, I think it's fantastic that you have your own business; I can only imagine the determination and whole range of personal qualities it takes to make a success of starting a business in a foreign country! Not to mention courage....
On a personal level, you can also find support groups if you just need friends, but often there are some quite matricarchal characters in these who can be a very mixed blessing, so beware. I suspect that you're under 30 and so if you just want to unwind with people your own age, try looking for meetup groups (you don't have to go to the expensive venues, just the 'walks' or outside venues, and perhaps you can find some good expat friends that way).
Hey Osita, Thanks so much for your reply!
It's nice to hear some words of encouragement :)
I think my first port of call will be the gemeente, as you said. I've just been scared to go and tell them that I've been living here for so long without being registered or having insurance etc. But I guess they can't exactly arrest me for it or anything lol.
Social workers don't seem scary to me at all; in fact my family had a lot of support from such organizations when I was younger, for various reasons, and I would be really happy to have someone who is trained to sort out lives to give me a bit of guidance. I live right in the centrum (getting this place was a godsend, I hope I can hang on to it!), so I'm sure there must be a lot of help available in the area.
As for friends, I do have quite a few (well, mostly acquaintances really), but I hate heaping my problems on them, and I feel recently I've been doing so much of it that I should just see people less. Bit of a vicious circle I suppose. Anyway that's why having someone professional to talk to would be better as I wouldn't have to feel bad about saying what's on my mind. Also, much as they'd like to help, my friends are mostly minimum-wage types who struggle themselves, and have enough of their own problems without hearing about mine all day long! Pretty much all me and my good friend talk about when we meet is how shitty our lives our, it's not positive after a while even if it's good to vent. Anyway thanks again for reading and responding, I already feel a bit better :)
Hi jade, Did you use medicin? I happen to have a relative who got his life from extremely successful to extremely unsuccessful due to a series of miscalculation and over expectation. I did spend a lot of time with him, so I understand how it feels to go through it. All the bests to you

El Paso >Beauty > Foliage Hair Salon & Day Spa
745 S Mesa Hills Dr, El Paso, TX | Directions 7991231.816590 -106.540746
Mon Closed,Tue-Sat 9:00 AM-7:00 PM,Sun Closed
I'm not sure why people keep giving this salon a bad rap. I like it mainly because the sell aveda products. I've been there twice. The first time I had a hair cut with Alejandro. He was fun and the cut and style was great. I went there last week for a hair cut and Alejandro was no longer there, so Dalia did my hair. I'm pretty easy going about my hair, so we tried something new with bangs. Great cut and looks fab.
Laura , the owner is a horrible rude crazy lady i paid $250 – i got a spa package $250. for my sister as a gift, my sister called me 2 weeks ago telling me not to ever go there, the owner is crazy horrible person, she was talking bad about many customers to her employees, she seems arrogant and treats customers rude, my gift to my sister is not worth it, after the horrible highlights they ruin her hair and on top of that the owner said it wasn't their fault that her hair gets damage easily give me a break we are not stupid, she didn't admit their mistake and told her to go and stop complaining. wont ever go back.
Owner is Rancid – What a horrible staff and the owner is even more horrid. I dont appreciate her ( the owner ) making all her customers uncomfortable and yet also spending the customers hard earned money to make her lips look like Howard the duck. I dont appreciate how she cares less about her staff and her customers and yet we are paying for her surgeries. Laura , the owner is a horrible rude woman with no business ethic skills and no customer relation skills. Half of the stylists do not even go to or heard of the Aveda institute. If i didnt really like my stylist id go eslewhere and Laura has another thing coming if she think she can be rude to her customers . I wonder if Laura has heard of the better business bureau and in addition she cant pull off her surgeries and her salon and her attitude in bigger cities where she is nothing and really please stop with the surgeries you look ridiculous and its not helping your wasting your money Foliage and its owner should invest instead of seeking surgeries and horrible attitudes and hair extensions. Customers beware your money is going to waste.
AMAZING – I must say after reading some of the reviews on here I was a little nervous going there to get my hair done.I am so happy I went.I was greeted as soon as I walked in and they were very polite and out of there way friendly.My hair dresser DAVID was an amazing guy.He fixed my hair and trust me it needed it.He did it exactly how I wanted it and listened to me.Ive had a lot of great hair dressers before where I used to live and needed to find one here in El Paso.He, by far is the best .He was very sweet and talkative and made me feel like weve been friends for years.I would def go there again and happy I found a place and a guy to do my hair here in El Paso(just moved here)Id say give it a try and you wont regret it.
CUSTOMER BEWARE!! – "This salon has the WORST customer service ever. I went there to do hair extensions and eye lash extensions. The whole treat cost me close to a $1000 and YET they put me through hell. The stylist used the wrong beads, with sharp edges and I was in so much pain! When I went back to get them out, I asked to speak with the owner, but the manager gave an excuse of her being in a meeting and said they will call back, but never did. One of the stylist there, admitted on the other stylist using the wrong beads and the stylist who put me through hell did not even apologize! THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I would never ever go to that salon again and I advice my girl friends to stay away from there also.Too bad for them, they dont care about their customers, I rather go to the other salons in EL PASO, and there are many good ones around. I went to Foliage because they had their fancy commercial on TV but i guess looks can be deceiving. I went to another salon to get my extensions off ( I had nausea and so much pain because the stylist had put too much hair on my extentions! which was pulling my pressure points) & they call themselves the experts and with sharp beads!)At the other salon, I learnt I was the second person who had come to them from Foliage complaining of BAD hair extensions. IF you love yourself, DO NOT go to Foliage, or even if u go, U WILL FIND OUT why! Worst Salon I have ever been to! What was supposed to be a fun treat for me, they turned it into a night mare. Sensitive eyes, do not go for EYE LASH EXTENSION, altho they say it doesn't affect sensitive eyes. WRONG.
Stylist was 30 mins late – My stylist arrived late for me, her first client of the day. She did not apologize, but rather just explained that she'd been on a late night shopping trip the night before. While i was kept waiting for 30 minutes, no one at the salon bothered to keep me informed. Any decent salon should have someone apologizing to the client and offering him/her a drink or something. I was just ignored and left to sit in the middle of the salon while everyone else was being called ahead of me. And to top it off, my stylist gave me a crappy haircut. She left my hair uneven. My friends and family even said that I had a bad haircut.
Good services, inconsistent customer care – I've been there twice and so has my sister. First time was unimpressive. The stylist kept looking around as if it were boring him to be cutting my hair.
The second time the stylist was rude to my sister and almost made her cry. The stylist also lied to my sister when my sister asked her if the back of her haircut was uneven (it was, though the stylist said it wasn't).
Customer service was an afterthought. My stylist was more professional than the one my sister had though. The actual hair cutting, styling was decent, though nothing outstanding. I'd really have to think twice about booking another appointment here.
Great customer service. – Great atmosphere! I liked that I was immediately greeted wtih a warm and friendly attitude. Inspite of training a new person I received attention when inquiring about products.
glad they carry Aveda in El Paso!!

I have been trying to get things up and running, and have been running into some problems which I haven't seen before. I am using InstantRails and the RadRails Plugin with the Aptana IDE. Also, I am using HeidiSQL to manage my SQL databases. Everything seems set up fine, and have run a few other projects in development environments successfully, but recently things have gone sour.
Recently, I have been trying to set up a LovdbyLess project, and have followed the directions to the T, but to no avail!
All the files have been moved into my project directory, and I have no errors. I have installed all the required ruby gems, and rake tests pass with flying colors, doing all tests, assertions, with absolutely no errors or failures.
Whenever I try to run the project, my console output is as such:
=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick) => Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 Starting Rails with development environment... -e: No such file or directory - uname WARNING: You're using the Ruby-based MySQL library that ships with Rails. This library is not suited for production. Please install the C-based MySQL library instead (gem install mysql). [4;36;1mSQL (0.004000)[0m [0;1mSET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0[0m Rails loaded. Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins Signals ready. INT => stop (no restart). Mongrel 1.1.4 available at 0.0.0.0:3000 ** Use CTRL-C to stop.
I tried messing with a few things to get it to work, but no matter what, it always tells me I am using the Ruby-based MySQL library... Also, in order to combat the problem, I uninstalled the SQLite gem. My local list of gems tells me mysql is installed, but I tried to gem install mysql multiple times anyway, and it gives me this error:
C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\myapp>gem install mysql-2.7.3-mswin32.gem
Successfully installed mysql-2.7.3-mswin32... Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.7.3-mswin32... Installing RDoc documentation for mysql-2.7.3-mswin32... While generating documentation for mysql-2.7.3-mswin32 ... MESSAGE: Unhandled special: Special: type=17, text="<!-- $Id: README.html, v 1.20 2006-12-20 05:31:52 tommy Exp $ -->" ... RDOC args: --op c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/mysql-2.7.3-mswin32/ rdoc --exclude ext --main README --quiet ext README docs/README.html (continuing with the rest of the installation)
And even though the Mongrel server starts, when I try to browse to http://localhost:3000, it kind of works, but will only display the "Welcome aboard You're riding Ruby on Rails!" page. I have updated, cleaned, reinstalled all gems, nothing works!
I am definitely a newbie at this, but I usually am able to work problems out on my own; however, I seem to have met my match. Any advice on this situation, or on running LovdbyLess, would be so so so much appreciated!
-Dave S.
The mysql error you are seeing there isn't an error telling you that you can't use the software or that it isn't going to work, simply that it is not suited for production. I would hazard a guess that many Rails developers will also see this message developing from a standard machine. If you've reached the point where you see CTRL-C to stop, your server has booted, and the fact that you've seeing the "welcome" message means its all working. You might need to read some more about how to use LovdbyLess project. Look at your routes.rb file (found in your config directory) and see what it has in there. Make sure you have the application routes in place, then remove index.html from your public directory and see what happens.
Also, another indication is that if your tests are passing your database appears to have been successfully setup (at least your test database) which means that you're not actually having mysql errors, rather you are just being warned that your machine is not suited for production.
Hope that helps, let us know if there is something deeper to the problem. I haven't personally played with the LovdbyLess package, but have thought about taking a look at it. Good luck!
So I ended up playing with a few more settings, the routes.rb file was fine, it was in the global_variables.rb in config\initializers\ where it specified RAILS_ENV as "production" instead of "development." Also, I alwayyyys forget to remove the index.html file from public. Once I did that, the root works, and a few other pages, but when I try and register a new user, it gives me this:
DRb::DRbConnError in AccountsController#signup
druby://localhost:10005 - #
RAILS_ROOT: C:/InstantRails/rails_apps/orijinsb Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
"commit"=>"Sign-up Now"}
No clue... Also, thanks so much for the previous help. Any thoughts?
Hey David,
Gad you have started to play around with our social networking application. The uname error you are getting as well as the drb error seem to be coming from acts_as_ferret on windows. see: http://groups.google.com/group/lovdbyless/browse_thread/thread/ee52f22b3a1dbf28/12026b33ca3dd10b?lnk=gst&q=uname#12026b33ca3dd10b
You should join our group so you can get some up to date info from project developers and others who have been using the same project.
-- Matthew Peychich (8Mile)
Thank you so much for all the help everyone!
So far, I have been able to play with a few of the files and stuff, and have really learned so much, and gotten more working. I can now register users, and have registered one, and altered the db entry to make it an admin. I still have the uname error and the problem of using the Ruby-based server. Matt V, does that mean I need to upgrade mySQL again or what? I don't understand...
Matt P, thanks for the link, that sounds great.
again thanks all!
No, I really don't think this issue is anything you need to worry about, or even really an issue at all. As I was saying before if Rails is currently interacting with mySql and you're not having any problems with the tests than you're okay, I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. That message is just trying to tell you that your machine is not really suited to host from.
One question to clarify, you aren't actually thinking of hosting from your windows machine are you?
Anyway, I wouldn't worry about the mysql error, the only thing that has me curious is the -e uname that was at the beginning of the warning, was that a parameter you passed yourself?
I forgot to mention that the MESSAGE: Unhandled you received while installed the mysql gem on your machine is normal for the Windows OS.
On a sidenote, that's a pretty wicked error message right there:
"druby://localhost:10005 – #"

"The beginning. "
Date Range:
10/09/2013 To 10/09/2013
When I was a young child, I have very few memories. I remember being in the hospital because I almost died, I remember being pushed down the stairs by my sister, I remember trying to kill myself multiple times, and I remember being the life of the party and a super social girl. But the one memory that I wish I could forget were the earliest memories of my father. The father who would disappear for weeks on end and nobody would know where he was. The father that was abusive to me, and would beat me with my own toys if I left them in the area where he watched TV. The father who would tell me he never loved me, and always complained to my mother whenever he had to drag me along on business trips. The father who treated my sister like an angel, and eventually drove me to the point where if I was forced to be around him I would scream and cry, because I just didn't like him. I didn't know him. I didn't think he was my father. I didn't know his name, but I didn't call him my dad. I didn't believe he was my dad. Dads are supposed to be with their children and love them. I never believed I had one. He moved in and out and in and out several times. He cheated on my mother several times and never had time for anyone in his family because he was too busy partying, get arrested, drinking, and doing drugs. He wasn't willing to give up the life of crime he had since he was 9 years old to have a family. He was 30 years old, and he still wasn't enough of a man. He had the money, he had the looks, he had the women, he had everything that he could want, but he didn't want a family. He wanted to live for the party, and I don't recall ever really seeing him that much even for the weekends that we would go to his house, he would have parties or he would leave to go to parties and we would either be alone or his roommate was practically my father, and I didn't understand why it was that way but he was more of my father than anyone. I remember very little about that house. I remember the couches, the TV, faint flashbacks of his roommate and how excited he acted to see us, and I remember my father never having time for me, or ignoring me when he did have time. He always wondered why whenever I was with him, he never got responses from me as I got older. I rebelled against him, and he hated all of my friends. I never listened to anything he said, and he never wanted me there anyways, so I took things from him. Money, cigarettes, and anything else that my friends really wanted, because he didn't want or need us there anyways. I always brought a friend with me every time I went to his house, or I would be scared and alone. We would walk downtown or somewhere hours away at 3am because he was too busy with his girlfriend. His girlfriend told me I was a liar, my dad deserved a better child, and that I should kill myself. It was the day that I tried when everything went wrong. My mom went on a trip with her cousin, and I remember sitting on my bed, taking deep breaths as I took apart the razor. The worst part? I was doing this to feel like I fucking fit in. My best friend did it, and she literally saw my cuts and was like "woah how'd you get so many in a line like that?" I never had someone concerned for me, and I remember my mom calling me and telling me I would get the help I needed after I confided a lot about my feelings of suicide to my sister. She asked if I thought she cared about me, and I said no and I hung up. What was I supposed to say to an abusive alcoholic slut who never thought about anyone except for herself and her fucking religion? She tried to shame my sister and I soo many times I can't even count. To this day, she still disgusts me. She's gotten worse. I was hospitalized and my mom flew back in and blamed everything on me and still has to this day and won't leave me alone about it and told everyone and still won't trust me. She literally said "How will I know you won't BETRAY me again like that? DECEIVE me? How SELFISH could you be?" I want to hit her in her fucking face. I don't know why nobody has yet. She's horrible. Horrible mother, horrible wife, horrible person. She's horrible. I literally remember feeling terrible because when she was in the hospital when I was younger, I wanted her to die there. I didn't want her to come home, and I was so fucking happy everytime she was hospitalized because I knew I could come home and she wouldn't scream at me about how I was going to hell and everything that was wrong with me. My parents got back together, and it's all been downhill. they still fight pretty much constantly and all the time, and we're back to having no money. I was homeschooled, and have a book filled with all of the arguments and how long they lasted. Her rants went on for as much as 6 hours and 53 minutes while I sat locked in the bathroom. She doesn't know I still cut myself, or about my instagram where I hide all of my posts about it. I have over 1,000 followers on it who feel the same way as me, and it hurts me to believe that so many people do the same things I do. A lot of my friends know about my cuts, and not a single one of them has ever told me that they care. Every time I do something wrong, my mom threatens to make me go "back to the hospital" again "for good this time." Also, did I mention I can't sleep at night because of my schizophrenia and paranormal experiences? Also, no love from my sister who tells me to my face she hates me and I'm totally fucked up and ruin everyone's lives.
I could go on and on and on and on and on in more and more detail. But nobody is going to see this anyways.

Hi. This is my first post and thank you for the awesome website. I have been reading a lot from this site, thanks.
I did lots of search but couldn't find an color matching answer regarding American Standard's Arctic White.
Seems like, according to this forum, Toto's Colonial White matches the Amercian Standard's new White.
Is Arctic White whiter than American Standard's White?
I kindly would like to ask for the Toto's color that would match American Standard's arctic white.(and whether arctic white is white than American Standard's white).
Happy Holidays!

A degree in teaching offers a holistic approach to the study of education at large, without emphasis on a subject or targeted grade level. The doctoral degree in general education is the utmost level of academic pursuit achievable in the field. Those who are interested in pedagogy, educational leadership and administration, and superior learning environments are well-suited for the doctoral track in teaching, also known as general education. The ideal candidate has an inherent thirst for knowledge and a desire to better the lives of others through academia. The study opens up a variety of career paths in schools and other learning institutions.
Why a Doctoral Degree?
A Ph.D. provides a level of education and experience that is not available at the master's or bachelor's level. There is no way to guarantee a particular academic path will ensure a successful career, but earning your doctorate gives you a distinct advantage over those with lower-level degrees. The program is rigorous and comprehensive, covering all aspects of instructional design, the psychology of the learner, the administrative side of learning, and the diversity of students. In turn, doctoral students are prepared for virtually any teaching job ranging from kindergarten teacher to chief academic officer at a major university.
Getting Into a Doctoral Degree Program
In order to be considered for admissions into a doctoral program at the school of your choice, you must satisfy a set of degree requirements necessary for all entrants. While schools may vary in their prerequisites, they typically ask for:
- A master's degree from an accredited institution in a related field.
- Desired minimum GRE score.
- Transcripts from all previously attended universities.
- A capstone or research thesis.
Inside a Teaching Doctoral Degree Program
Doctoral programs in teaching can take as few as three years to complete and as many as seven or eight years, depending on the program. The first few years focus on core course work, while the remaining portion of the program is dedicated to the student's dissertation. Some of the topics that might be covered in a general education doctoral student's course work include diversity in schools, curriculum instruction, education technology, cognition and learning psychology, educational law, and facilities administration. A variety of internships may also be available, which help the student focus their academic efforts toward a lucrative career.
Online students must navigate a slightly different route to achieve their degree. While they are subject to the same courses as traditional students, all course material is available online in the form of PDF files, PowerPoint presentations, and video lectures. Some schools offer online content synchronously, wherein students must log in at specific times to watch live video lectures and participate in chat-room conversation for a more interactive educational experience. Alternatively, some schools offer asynchronous online courses, which allow the student to access material from pre-recorded lectures at whatever time best suits their schedule.
What's Next for Teaching Doctoral Degree Holders?
Many of the students enlisted in a doctoral program in general education already hold positions as teachers and faculty. Their newfound degree may be the key toward promotion and other opportunities which boost their career. Otherwise, degree-holders are eligible to work as teachers in every tier of the educational system, at public and private schools and universities. They may also find government teaching opportunities, corporate educational opportunities, or work abroad. Some work on the administrative end as school superintendents while others continue to build a body of research to help improve the educational system and the lives of students. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that postsecondary teachers made an annual median pay of $62,050 in 2010, while postsecondary administrators made $83,710.
Beyond gaining your doctoral degree, you may consider publishing your research. Likewise, additional certification may be required in order to teach at public elementary and secondary schools. Each state has specific regulations for teaching certification. There are many online programs offered which make certification accessible and simple for working professionals.
