About Me Minimalist
Its great when travelling. A lot lighter than rollers and driers when you have long hair. Cuts getting ready by a good hour. When you travel, that is a key.
Reminds me of my natural style
By Marilyn the Singer
from LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS
Had Chemotherapy from Feb-July 2012... My hair has not grown back in ... This style reminds me of my real hair... I wish there was a color that was brunette and 25% gray or silver.
A Beautiful Wig
By None
from Des Moines, IA
What I like best about this wig was the fullness of the style, many wigs are very thin and hard to style

Love It!
By On the Go from 7am to 10pm.
from Monterey California
Put it on the first day and loved it. Everyone thought I'd curled my hair and cut more bangs. Could be a little less full or thinned as it has alot of hair but I felt great. I would buy it again.

Taking the reins of a large church is never easy, but it's something that Salem Lutheran Church's new senior pastor, Tim Niekerk has spent the last two years preparing for.
Two years ago, Niekerk was promoted to executive pastor in an effort to learn the ropes and to ensure a smooth transition once longtime senior pastor Wayne Graumann retired.
"The history here is amazing," Niekerk said. "I feel humbled and honored to be on the shoulders of giants like Wayne."
That effort paid off, as Graumann officially handed the reins over to Niekerk on Jan. 20 of this year, the same day that Presidential inaugurations are traditionally held. Still, despite the preparation, Niekerk admitted the moment was bittersweet.
"It was a little bit weird to come in and realize that Wayne was no longer in the office next to me," he said. "To know that the mantle of leadership passed weighed a bit heavy."
Niekerk came to Salem in 2006 and has served in numerous capacities at the church. He started his pastoral career in 1997, after graduating from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. His route to the pulpit didn't come automatically, however.
Niekerk said he had a bit of a rebellious streak in him following high school and when friends and family tried guiding him towards a career in the ministry, he didn't listen at first.
"I had determined at one point that I wasn't going into the ministry and I was going to go into business," he said. "It was about halfway through college that I started to get pulled back towards the ministry and I had friends asking me if I had ever considered becoming a pastor."
By that time he was a couple of years behind others his age who had already chosen that course.
"I started taking different biblical language courses and I asked God to help me catch up if this is really what he wanted me to do," Niekerk said. "He helped me to excel and catch up and the decision was made."
A few years after graduating seminary school, Niekerk ended up starting a church that shared its space with a funeral home in Milwaukee.
"It was a challenge and I almost decided to quit the ministry altogether then," he said. "I had it lined up where I was going to work in my father-in-law's business. I came home and my wife was sitting at the table and said to me 'I firmly believe you were meant to be in the ministry'."
A decade-and-a-half later, as Niekerk sits in his new office, he says he knows the decision that God, his family and friends guided him towards was the right one.
"I absolutely love what I do," he said. "Sure, there can be some days where it is extremely challenging like in any job, but it's so rewarding."
Niekerk said he has some very specific and lofty goals for himself.
"My own personal mission in life is to do whatever it takes to make Jesus real for people," he said. "Part of that includes wanting to encourage men and fathers to be the true spiritual leaders they were called by God to be."
Niekerk also said he hopes to build on the 160-plus year legacy of Salem Lutheran Church.
"I take very seriously what this church means to the community," he said. "We want to have a compelling message of grace – not by just talking about it, but we want to live it. Any way this congregation can leverage what we have been blessed with to help the community, we will do."

The William C. Hall Pipe Organ Competition turns 42
Saturday, March 2, undergraduate and graduate organists will compete for the 42nd annual Hall Pipe Organ Competition in San Antonio. This year there are a record number of entrants, something unusual for the competition, since sometimes they are unsure of whether or not they will get the minimum of five competitors!
America's wars have long taken their toll on the people who fight them, and the recent attention to post-traumatic stress disorder has helped improve treatment for those who suffer; however, nightly newscasts and newspaper headlines never mention the military working dogs who are also changed by the combat zone.
"Ultimately we want these dogs to become military working dogs and go down range and save lives," said Tech. Sgt. Joe Null, who fosters canine companions for the first few months of their lives to socialize them.
The famous Victory or Death Letter written by William B. Travis during the fall of the Alamo will be returned to the shrine here in San Antonio on Friday.
Travis wrote the letter on Feb. 24, 1836 as a plea for help when the Alamo's defenders were surrounded by several thousand Mexican troops; it's now been 177 years.
Looking to increase trade ties, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Thursday. Castro also updated the president on U.S. immigration reform.
Peña Nieto's presidential term is only several months old and Castro said he's looking for ways to improve the flow of trade between the two neighbors. Castro said he was in Mexico City looking to promote San Antonio as a major trade hub for Mexico.
Fronteras: Gay and lesbian activists are fighting to be included as U.S. immigration reform takes shape. The new Somali president has called for Somali refugees in the U.S. to return to their homeland and help rebuild the nation. Will young Somalis heed his call? We look at a new university housing model in New Mexico for student veterans. Also, we get the scoop on this year's CineFestival, which spotlights Latino films in San Antonio.
I couldn't have timed better the decision to replay my all time favorite Masterpiece Theatre Classic, "The Forsyte Saga," than the week the Metropolitan would broadcast its "Carmen." I had never really considered the fact that the two works and their heroine's were so close; more sisters than cousins.
The similarities are striking
San Antonio's vocal chamber group the Copperleaf Quintet, has an afternoon of music for Lent planned this weekend. On the program are works by Francisco Guerrero and Tomas Luis de Victoria.
"His [de Victoria's] lines are just so exquisite, and when they are so exposed by just having one person on a part singing them, it's just a wonderful thing to hear!" said Ruth Moreland, the director and soprano for the group.
MISERERE: Reflections for Lent

"We try to give them examples of good practice, inspirational players, and good modeling." Mark Burke, speaking of the intention behind Charanga Music World, a cloud-based learning tool for young musicians.
The Korean energy company Nexolon has chosen San Antonio as its headquarters in the U.S., and promised Wednesday to bring 400 high-paying jobs to the area.
