Getting to Know Photoshop's JPEG File Format
Photoshop supports the JPEG (pronounced jay peg and short for Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The JPEG format uses lossy compression. Lossy is the computer nerd's way of saying that stuff is lost during the compression process — namely, some of the data that makes up your image.
The good news, however, is that you probably won't miss what's not around anymore — sort of like when you were a kid and you "lost" your little brother at the park. You may notice a slight difference in your on-screen image after you save the file using JPEG, but when the image is printed, the compression is usually undetectable.
JPEG compression saves you lots of disk space. In fact, a JPEG image takes up less space on disk than a compressed TIFF file — half as much space, maybe a tenth as much, depending on your settings. Although JPEG isn't supported by as many programs as TIFF, it's becoming more and more common. JPEG compression works well with continuous tone images, such as photographs.
So should you use JPEG or TIFF? Here's a thought: Save in TIFF when excellent print quality is vital — for example, in high-resolution printing — or when you're editing an image. Then when you think you're finished editing and you want to conserve space, save in JPEG at the Maximum setting. You generally won't see the results of JPEG right away. But editing an image can bring out its weaknesses, and JPEG definitely weakens an image. So, going to JPEG after you finish editing is usually best. |
Also, if you want to distribute your image on the World Wide Web, you have to save it in either the JPEG, GIF, or the new and not yet widely supported PNG format. JPEG works well with photographic images, especially people, where there is a wide range of colors. TIFF isn't an option for Web publishing.
When you choose the JPEG option in the Save As dialog box and press Enter (Return on the Mac), the dialog box shown in Figure 1 appears. Here's a rundown of the options you need to worry about for images you want to print:
- The Quality pop-up menu lets you choose the amount of compression that's applied to your image and therefore the quality of your saved image. The higher the image quality, the less the file is compressed and the more space it takes on disk.
- The Quality option box and the slider bar beneath the box give you other ways to choose your compression setting. The slider bar and option box give you access to 13 settings (0 through 12), whereas the pop-up menu gives you access to only four. But, unless you're a real control freak, you can just select one of the pop-up menu options.
- Choose the Maximum or High option from the Quality pop-up menu. The Maximum option is best because it preserves the most image data, but the High option is okay if you're really short on disk space.
- For Format options, use the default setting of Baseline ("Standard").
Photoshop recompresses a JPEG image every time you save it. During a single edit session, this compression won't hurt because JPEG works from the on-screen version. But, if you close, reopen, and resave it in JPEG format, some damage, albeit small, occurs. Repeat this process over and over, however, and the damage increases each time. Some advice — apply all your necessary edits to the image, save in JPEG format, and leave well enough alone. If you need to edit an image over a longer length of time, save it in a native Photoshop format. Then save it as a JPEG only after you have completed your editing process. |

The Best NFL Team Fit for Each Big-Name Free Agent WR on the Market
By Gary Davenport ,
The focus of fans across the NFL may be turned to New Orleans and Super Bowl XLVII, but for the majority of NFL teams it's already time to start looking ahead to next year.
The first step in doing so will be this month's scouting combine, but from there the focus shifts from rookies to veterans when the floodgates open and free agency kicks off in March.
One of the deepest positions in this year's crop is wide receiver, where a number of Pro Bowl-caliber players could be available to the highest bidder.
There will no doubt be plenty of suitors for these players, but for each of these talented pass-catchers there's one team that poses the best fit of all.
Here's one man's opinion on that optimal landing spot for the biggest free-agent wide receivers in this year's class.
For three straight seasons from 2008-2010 Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings topped 1,000 yards, and during that stretch Jennings developed a reputation as one of the NFL's elite wideouts.
However, injuries have derailed each of the 29-year-old's past two seasons. Those injuries plus the emergence of James Jones and Randall Cobb have combined to set the stage for Jennings' departure from Titletown.
Apparently Jennings sees the writing on the wall.
On a recent interview with the Dolphins' team-owned radio/web TV show Jennings lobbied to join former Packers' assistant Joe Philbin in Miami according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com.
Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins are set to make a "serious run" at Jennings, and a Miami squad with ample cap space and a desperate need for a number one receiver would appear to be a great fit.
Best Fit: Miami Dolphins
After topping 1,100 receiving yards in both 2010 and 2011, the statistical production of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe fell off badly in 2012.
That's not exactly Bowe's fault, however, as the quarterback situation in Kansas City was among the worst in the National Football League.
There's a better-than-average chance that Bowe stays in Kansas City, but if he doesn't, Bowe will command a hefty price on the open market.
That limits the number of potential suitors somewhat, but there are a few teams with both a boatload of cap space and a need at the position.
No team in the NFL has more of both than the Cleveland Browns, who have more than enough cap space to accommodate Bowe's contract and badly need a "go-to" wide receiver for young quarterback Brandon Weeden.
Best Fit: Cleveland Browns
After a contentious 2012 season that saw more grousing off the field than production on it, it appears that wide receiver Mike Wallace has worn out his welcome in the Steel City.
That tumultuous season isn't necessarily going to turn teams off where Wallace is concerned.
At the end of the day, we're still talking about a 26-year-old player who has averaged over 1,000 yards and nearly nine touchdown catches a year over the past three seasons.
The key to the right fit with Wallace is finding a team with a quarterback that can get him the ball down the field, as it's in the vertical passing game where Wallace truly shines.
That brings us to the San Diego Chargers.
Granted, the Chargers need to improve the pass protection for Philip Rivers, but that's much easier done in the draft than free agency.
Accomplish that goal, and a trio of Wallace, Danario Alexander and Malcom Floyd would give Rivers an impressive array of weapons.
Best Fit: San Diego Chargers
It's been a rocky couple of years for St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola.
With that said, despite the fact that the 27-year-old has lost 20 games over the past two seasons to injury, there's still going to be a robust market for a player who has become one of the better underneath receivers in the NFL.
The St. Louis Rams would no doubt love to keep Amendola, but a tenuous salary-cap situation may prevent it.
The four-year veteran could be an excellent addition for the Minnesota Vikings, but the wisdom of that addition would hinge on the team keeping Percy Harvin, which is a huge question mark at this point.
The Cincinnati Bengals, on the other hand, have ample cap space and a bona fide top receiver in A.J. Green.
With Green stretching defenses there would be loads of room underneath for Amendola to ply his trade, and Andy Dalton could certainly use a dependable second receiver.
Now if we can just get Mike Brown to pry open his checkbook and spend some money.
Best Fit: Cincinnati Bengals
Of all the wide receivers hitting free agency, Wes Welker of the New England Patriots has by far the best numbers.
The 31-year-old has been one of the most prolific wideouts in the NFL over the past several seasons, topping 100 receptions and 1,000 yards in five of the past six years.
That would seem to indicate that there will be a huge market for Welker, but if the Patriots are smart they'll never let it get that far.
Welker has been an integral part of the New England offense for a very long time, and dumping your aging superstar quarterback's favorite target just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a team that's still very much a Super Bowl contender.
You don't fix what isn't broken.
Conversely, while Welker is a talented pro, a large part of his success has been because of the New England offense and his relationship with Tom Brady.
Welker may be hard-pressed to duplicate that success this late in his career with a new team.
Once again: if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
Best Fit: New England Patriots

Western Coloradans receiving this week's Delta County Independent will find a "Gunnison River Basin Handbook for Inhabitants" enclosed. This was assembled and produced by the Gunnison Basin Roundtable, whose 32 members hope that you will read through this booklet and keep it in a convenient place for future reference, because you are going to be hearing a lot about water in Colorado over the next couple of years, and the role of the Gunnison River in helping meet future needs for water — for our basin and for our state.
Governor Hickenlooper recently charged the roundtable and eight other basin roundtables in Colorado to work with the Colorado Water Conservation Board on a "state water plan" for meeting a projected annual "gap" between known supply and projected demand of between 200,000 and 600,000 acre-feet of water by 2050 (65-200 billion gallons/year). The Gunnison Basin Roundtable will be regularly presenting updates on progress on the Gunnison Basin Implementation Plan and the statewide effort. You will be asked for your thoughts on efforts to address this difficult challenge.
"We do hope you will be interested and engaged in these efforts," said a member of the Gunnison Basin Roundtable. "You don't have to become a 'water expert'; you just need to learn about the relationship between water and everything you need and love here in the Gunnison Basin, and help us insure that those things will still be here for our children and grandchildren at mid-century." Watch for future updates.

Grant an appeal for James Anderson Sr.
James Anderson Sr. was found guilty by a jury that had already found him guilty before entering the courtroom.He was sentenced to life as if he had been a nuisance to society his entire life and no one was in his corner when it came time to fight with the legal system for his rights.
The only thing being askd for is an opportunity to present his case to a jury that is not partial to the victim. A fair trial is not such a big request. Mr. Anderson has strove to do right his entire life. It is not fair taht when he makes on fatal decision to help his son's family, he also makes the decision to end his life as he knew it.
An appeal will grant him the opportunity to present his case to a new jury that will be open to both his and the victims arguments. This would give him the chance that he needs to prove his intentions and to present his evedence on his behalf.

According to Wikipedia (so it's probably wrong): "Lothar and the Hand People was a late 1960s psychedelic rock band known for their spacey music and pioneering use of the theremin and Moog modular synthesizer. They are notable as "the first rockers to tour and record using synthesizers, thereby inspiring the generation of electronic music-makers who immediately followed them." Said synthesizers seemed a bit thin and far between in "Comic Book"... | |

Thanks for playing Creepy Weepy. My parents had it and after it broke, I haven't heard it in years. I call it Prokofieff Boogie. Mr. Gross also wrote "Tenderly" which became a standard. I'd like to hear the flip side "Improvisation in Several Keys" sometime!!! | |

Nadine Beiler (born 27 May 1990) is an Austrian R&B and Pop singer, who won the 3rd season of the Austrian casting show Starmania in 2007. On February 16, 2007, she released her first single Alles was du willst. Currently Beiler is attending high school in Tyrol, where she lives with her mother and her sister in Inzing. Beiler represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with her entry The Secret Is Love and came 18th.
Life before Starmania:
Beiler grew up in Inzing, a village in Tyrol, one of the western states of Austria. Her parents both work in the health sector, her father as a medical doctor and her mother as a masseuse.
Early on in her life she started to pursue her hobby singing, partly by doing gigs at parties but also by singing at weddings.
Pre-final casting:
In the summer of 2006 Beiler attended the first round of castings for the Austrian television show Starmania in the casting event in Tyrol. The quality of her singing was both well received by the jury in the first and second round. In the third pre-final round, she gained a ticket for the main show alongside the female candidate she was competing with. Only 16 years old, she was the youngest of the finalists who made through to the final 18.
Songs she performed in Starmania:
In the show, Beiler performed the following songs:
"Hurt" (Christina Aguilera)
"Aber Bitte Mit Sahne" (Udo Jürgens)
"Where You Lead" (Carole King)
"Over The Rainbow" (Judy Garland)
"We've Got Tonight"
"Verzaubert" (Papermoon)
"You Had Me" (Joss Stone)
"My Number One" (Helena Paparizou)
"Fallin'" (Alicia Keys)
"Reflection" (Lea Salonga/Christina Aguilera)
"Together Again" (Janet Jackson)
"I'll Be There" (Jackson 5)
"Dani California" (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon and Garfunkel)
"Don't Let Go (Love)" (En Vogue)
Winner of Starmania:
On January 26, 2007 Beiler won the show in the final evening with a high voting approval of 68% of all votes cast (approximately 650,000 votes were cast by mobile phone by viewers of the show).
Eurovision 2011:
On February 25, Nadine Beiler won the Austrian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with her entry The Secret is Love, and represented her nation in the second semifinal in Germany. She qualified for the final, in which she ended 18th. In the split jury voting "The Secret is Love" ended in 5th place.

You Gobble, Gobble Give Some Thanks
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Unlike other holidays, there is no
pretentiousness. One just arrives at the
host home dressed in an everyday wardrobe and not encumbered with loads of
presents. Now that is not to say that as
a guest you can't bring a tasty food dish or a bottle of wine for the host or perhaps
don your favorite gaudy holiday sweater but it is a day to enjoy great company,
wonderful food and exciting football.
What could be better than that?
But before we dive into that plump turkey or carve a slice of a
turducken, how about taking a few moments and recount all the events we are
thankful for? I suspect the pilgrims did
so when they arrived after a long voyage and landed at Plymouth Rock. No doubt they were thankful that the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) did not submit them to a "pat
down" or ask them to surrender their muskets!
In any event, here are some things I am most thankful for:
+ For the ability to celebrate holidays and
birthdays and special events with family and friends. Having been out of town for high school and
some college, I can tell you first hand that being absent from Thanksgiving and
Christmas celebrations leaves a sad melancholy feeling in your heart. As such, whatever we as Americans can do for
our men and women in the service during this season would certainly be
appreciated by our brave troops. In
1954 crooner Perry Como sang, "There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays",
and here in 2012, it is still true!
+ For the social security COLA increase of 1.7%
set for January 2013. And a thanks to
all of you who are still working and supporting me with your FICA payments.
+ For all the friends I currently have and for
those I have yet to meet.
For being an American and living in the greatest country in the world.
For all episodes of "Seinfeld" which parallels real life experiences. My favorites:
"The Puffy Shirt" and "The Jimmy" and "The Marine Biologist".
+ For the Cracker Barrel restaurant and
their great breakfasts and all the knickknacks in their store. One day I might even purchase one of the
rocking chairs that grace the front porch of each establishment. And for the cinnamon rolls at Panera (St. Louis
Bread Company) These two establishments
that dot the highways as we motor to grandma's house sure makes the trip a lot
more enjoyable.
For the ability to reverse live television programs so that I have my
own personal instant replay function.
Just wish I could have the same ability for real life incidents – I
think all of us at one time or another would want a "re-do" button on some of
life's activities.
For my TomTom GPS and OnStar System both of which have rerouted me when we
were lost.
+ For the festivities and activities in St.
Charles the day after Thanksgiving that we spend with our grandchhildren - Joel - Zach - Jennifer - and Joshua. Looking forward to a fun day. Maybe this year Zach will bring a jacket and not have to wear my leather vest!
Truly a Currier and Ives moment especially with all the Santas from
around the world and of course the chestnut roaster.
+ For an early morning breakfast in
Chesterfield, Missouri with my nine year old grandson Joshua at the St. Louis
Bread Company. Both of us will enjoy a
cinnamon roll.
+ For our three children, two
son-in-laws and daughter-in-law and eleven grandchildren who bring us joy and
excitement every day. Knowing that when
we are in a nursing home and they come to visit us every day to change our
diapers brings us contentment. I suspect
it will bring them consternation and aggravation but we changed their diapers
when they were young, so what goes around comes around!
For my wife Mary of 48 years who has supported me and encouraged me and loved
me through every moment and every adventure to make sure I never went
astray. She is my personal GPS!
So as you gather with family and friends this Holiday
Season, take a couple moments and be thankful for all your blessings. And if you are a guest at someone's home, chew
with your mouth closed, don't talk with food in your mouth, don't cheer too
long when your football team scores, and do not nap on the bed that contains
all the coats. Other than that - Happy
Bill Kalmar

County likely to donate to 2015 cycling event
Henrico County officials are proposing that the county contribute direct and indirect funding and support totaling no more than $1.4 million to Richmond 2015, the organization that will host the nine-day UCI World Road Cycling Championships in the Greater Richmond region in three years. That's the same amount requested of the county by Richmond 2015 officials in September, although they sought the total amount in cash donations spread evenly over the next three years. Instead, County Manager Virgil Hazelett has proposed a $300,000 cash donation in 2015 only and the application of other associated costs, such as security, traffic control and overtime police pay, toward the $1.4 million total. Henrico's share of contributions made to Richmond 2015 by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau and Greater Richmond Convention Center also would be included in that amount. Only one event – a time trial for men and women on the first day – is proposed to occur in Henrico. Organizers originally wanted to begin the 17-mile event at Short Pump Town Center and conclude it in Richmond, but Henrico officials determined that such a route would require that 62 intersections be closed for more than 10 hours. That inconvenience – and the associated cost of overtime pay for police officers along the route – wouldn't make sense for the county, Hazelett said. So, county officials are working with Richmond 2015 to identify another route that is a better fit, he said. Henrico Director of Management and Budget Brandon Hinton told the Board of Supervisors during a work session Oct. 23 that the county could not justify a cash contribution of $1.4 million when its anticipated direct tax benefit would be just $1.063 million, according to an estimate provided by Richmond 2015. And, Hinton and Hazelett told the board, that estimate is aggressive because it includes anticipated hotel tax revenue that county officials believe is impossible to achieve. "Clearly, the event will have a positive impact on the Richmond region," Hinton said. "[But] we don't want to pay out more than we think we're going to get in return." The nine-day event will feature cyclists from more than 70 countries and an anticipated crowd of about 450,000. |

DAC chapter donates $1.3M in coupons

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

Does SEIU Boss Andy Stern Run America?
Posted By Matthew Vadum On November 2, 2009 @ 6:46 pm In NewsReal Blog | No Comments
Andy Stern, president of the radical Service Employees International Union (SEIU), has visited the Obama White House at least 20 times this year. As Stephen Spruiell notes at NRO,
"Stern has openly bragged about the SEIU's $61 million investment in Barack Obama. It certainly bought him a lot of access."
This prompted Glenn Beck to wonder aloud on his TV show today if Stern is "controlling our country." Guest John Fund of the Wall Street Journal added, "Politico.com, which is a moderate publication, says Andy Stern practically lives at the White House."
Reports the Los Angeles Times:
Moreover, Stern has enjoyed considerable entree to the new administration — starting on Inauguration Day, when he joined Obama and the new president's family on the reviewing stand outside the White House to watch the inaugural parade.
Stern estimates he visits the White House once a week. SEIU officials talk to senior Obama advisor Nancy-Ann DeParle about healthcare — a top priority for Stern — and to Obama aide Cecilia Munoz about immigration, Stern said.
"We get heard," Stern said.
Stern was trained at the radical Midwest Academy founded by Heather and Paul Booth. The academy was founded to teach left-wing community organizers how to promote social change and infiltrate the labor movement.
The 2 million member SEIU has strong, longstanding ties to ACORN but has recently tried to distance itself from the group. SEIU international secretary-treasurer Anna Burger shocked political observers Sept. 30 when she told a congressional hearing that her union "cut all ties to ACORN."
One of SEIU's locals, 100 in Louisiana, is no longer affiliated with SEIU, the union says. Local 100 is headed by ACORN founder Wade Rathke. Local 880, headed by ACORN insider Keith Kelleher, was merged into a larger local, but Kelleher still heads the merged local which is called SEIU Healthcare Illinois & Indiana.

LATHAM, N.Y. -- Families got to see a new twist on the typical school lunch. Healthy alternatives, from vegetables to lower calorie pizzas were showcased. Local chefs and nutritionists set up tasting tables Sunday at the Century house, where they gave tips on how to make smart choices when packing lunches.
Colleen Faragon brought along her three daughters, because she said it's never too early to encourage healthy eating.
"It's so important to teach them about healthy habits now. We want them to make good choices so at some point in their life they're not saying I need to watch my weight. We want them to do well now. We want them to eat healthy. We want them to exercise and just make good choices now," said Faragon.
"The education of it, the availability of it, the options for it are something kids need to be more exposed to. The school systems been doing a great job at getting there, but this is another way that we add light to the whole course," said Jaime Ortiz, Executive Chef Mazzone Hospitality.
Money raised from the event goes towards The Chef and Child Foundation to help fight childhood hunger and obesity.

Alvita natural herb teas that are good for you and the environment.
Rose Hips (Rosa canina), the fruit of the rose after the flower has bloomed and the petals have fallen, are native to Europe and North America. Rose Hips (Rosehips) were once reffered to as the "Food of the Gods" by the ancient Greeks and used for their varied health benefits.
During World War II, when faced with a serious shortage of fresh fruits and the subsequent shortage of vitamin C, the governments of England, Sweden and Norway began looking to botanicals as a source for Vitamin C. After testing, they discovered that Rose Hips contained an astonishing amount of Vitamin C. Because of their abundance, they were used in teas, soups, purees, etc. Rose Hips are still used today as a favorite nutritious food, often brewed into a delicate, fruity tea.

If customers are unsure about what type of drink to order, what do you suggest?
If customers are adventurous, I would suggest The Porsches Reviver or The Old Thymer. There is a lot of attention to detail and we use fresh products, and the presentation with the herbs looks amazing. It looks healthy. We also make large ice cubes because we don't want to "cook the drink." Large ice cubes don't melt as fast.
How did you learn to mix each specific drink?
There is a lot of memorization. The execution and knowing the ingredients are important. We have a wine and beverage director who comes in and has classes on these unique cocktails. She travels to Manhattan and gets her inspiration from the scene there. It took me about a week to truly feel comfortable making the drinks on the menu.
What cocktail should be more popular than it is?
I really like The Azteca. It's a martini that we make here. It's tequila-based with yellow Chartreuse and St. Germain. People get blindsided by the standard margaritas or mojitos. This is very refreshing and flavor of Chartreuse is very herbaceous, so you won't find it in a lot of cocktails.
What's the worst night of the year to work?
Valentines Day because no one wants to sit at the bar. People get romantic and want privacy.

Good News: Disney Relocates Employees Normally Responsible For Finding And Deleting Boobs In Roller Coaster Pictures
You know how there's a camera that takes a picture of you on the steepest drop of a roller coaster? And then the park tries to peddle said photo after you get off the ride? Yeah, well Disney used to have boob-scanning personnel that would look at all the pictures before they appeared to patrons so no child would catch an eyeful. But now, thanks to the economy, not any more! So get out there and flaunt it! Boobs. I'm talking boobs, not penises.

A Hairdresser is someone who specializes in cutting, colouring and styling hair in order to enhance or maintain a person's appearance. Hairdressers are also referred to as hairstylists.
Hairdressing is a reputable and well established career that is attractive to many because of its high demand and flexibility of operations. Hairdressers can work as employees of salons or as independent contractors. Hairdressers can be male or female and are not gender stereotyped, although barbers are still considered to be mostly male. Most hairdressers have a broad range of skills, but some specialize in processes and techniques such as:

A hairdresser will typically address all things related to the appearance, styling, and grooming of hair on the head. A hairdresser will listen to the client first, and make sure they have a clear understanding and expectation of the desired results. Hairdressers will often refer to photographs and pictures in beauty & style magazines to visualize the look desired by the client. Hairdressers often must seek continuous training and education in order to be able to offer clients the latest style or cut.
Many hairdressers take part in hair competitions in order to keep up to date with the latest styles and cuts. These competitions showcase colouring, styling and cutting techniques. Salons encourage hairdressers to partake in competitions, as an award winning hairdresser will be great publicity for a salon, and the hairdresser will often end up gaining a large client base.
The largest task often performed by hairdressers is the actual cutting of hair. Clients seeking a new look or just requiring a trim will seek out the services of a hairdresser on a regular basis. Hair dressing is also referred to as hair styling, and is the process of styling the hair in a desired way to enhance the appearance of the individual. There are many styles that hairdressers must know in their profession including:
Chemical treatments to hair can change the way hair looks and feels. Hairdressers administer a chemical relaxant to curly hair making it smooth and straight. Chemical perms cause a semi-permanent style such as curls or waves in otherwise straight hair. Colouring and highlighting hair often requires patience and knowledge of chemicals to create the perfect colour. Colouring for multiple shades can be quite complicated and tedious for the hairdresser.
Hairdressers also serve as an expert in the area of hair care and often will sell products that they are commissioned to sell or would like to recommend to clients. Some hairdressers go on to develop their own line of professional hair care products. Hairdressers may serve as consultants or editors for beauty and style guides.
A less common area of hairdressing exists in the realm of hair restoration services and products. Hairdressers can be licensed to handle hair plugs and skilled in the art of styling toupees and artificial hair. Wig styling can require special training as well.
Hairdressers spend most of their day on their feet and an individual considering this career should be able to stand for long periods of time. Additionally, steady hands and good hand to eye coordination are necessary for accurate cuts and trims. Hairdressers must interact with clients in close proximity making good hygiene and social skills a must. Hairdressers that can make the client feel at ease are most likely to generate regular customers and steady income.
Becoming a hairdresser requires a small amount of schooling followed by extensive hands-on experience. Most states and provinces require hairdressers to be licensed before performing hair services. Typical license requirements will include:
Typical salons and hair cutting establishments are where most hairdressers are found. These establishments are located in many areas from shopping malls to upscale spas. Hairdressers may work as employees of the salon or rent the chair space as an independent contractor. Hairdressers may also operate out of their home, vehicle, or even travel to and perform services in the home of the client. Traveling hairdressers may visit hospitals and assisted living facilities generating a steady base of clients.
The entertainment industry is the second largest market for hairdressing. Movies and theatrical performances employ hairdressers on staff to style and transform actors into characters. Other entertainers such as music artists and dancers will also employ hairdressers behind the scenes. Some hairdressers are employed by just one individual and travel with them exclusively to meet their hair related needs.
The fashion industry also employs hairdressers to style model's hair for photography shoots and fashion shows. Photography shoots can take the hairdresser to various onset locations including exotic countries and challenging climates. Hairdressers in the fashion industry are oftentimes faced with time crunches and stressful situations. The hairdresser may have to work in small and less than desirable spaces as the need arises.
Hairdressers are typically paid per service they provide and receive tips from their clients as part of their compensation.
According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, hairdressers in the United States earn a mean annual wage of $27,070. The annual wage typically increases for hairdressers that are well known and respected in the entertainment and fashion industry with some seeing annual wages of $60,000 - $200,000.

*I usually write a black history month column in March—largely because I don't like people telling me when I, or others, should celebrate my history. I decided to write the piece early this year, because a point needs to be made, when it happened—not after it happens.
So, Happy Black History Month. Truth be told—every month is black history month, because American history is black history, and vice versa. Society just refuses, many times, to tell it correctly—or tell it at all. There is no America without black people—who helped build this country, bled and died for this country—and has been the source of every major conflict.

Prescriptions for opioids stabilizing after fivefold increase in 10-year span
To support the appropriate use of opioids and inform public health interventions to prevent drug abuse, most states have implemented a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). Researchers evaluated the impact of these state-wide programs and found that after tripling until 2007, annual rates of prescriptions for opioid analgesics have stabilized although the effects of PDMPs on opioid dispensing vary markedly by state.
