Chef's salad
Henrico man earns honor in homeland
Last month, as local veterans polished medals, buffed boots and starched uniforms in preparation for Memorial Day services, Paul Elbling left his Henrico home for a May 8 decoration ceremony.
Like recent holiday occasions in Sandston and at Fort Harrison National Cemetery, Elbling's event was long on red, white and blue and "The Star Spangled Banner" – even if lacking in small-town marching bands and Sousa music. But then, Elbling had hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to attend the ceremony – which took place in Blotzheim, France.
To Richmonders who know him as "Chef Paul," the owner and culinary artiste of La Petite France, it might come as a surprise to learn of Elbling's 18 months as a paratrooper and nurse in the French Algerian War. But as a 19-year-old in the French Army, Elbling rode ambulances around combat zones collecting the wounded, and made more than 100 jumps getting to the sites.
On his last jump in 1962, attempting to evacuate more injured, he was shot in the leg while still aloft. "Which is against the Geneva Convention," he says grimly, adding that he barely noticed the shock of his own wound.
"I was more concerned about my friend," he recalls, going on to describe the sight of a fellow paratrooper who had taken a much more serious hit. His friend did not survive.
After three weeks in the hospital, and additional time in therapy at a convalescent center, Elbling eventually returned to his culinary calling.
First medals were for cooking
Even though he was winning honors for his cooking by age 18 (a Gold Medal in culinary competition in Strasbourg), becoming a chef was actually Elbling's second-choice career. At age 12, he entered the seminary and studied for the priesthood two years before changing course and getting into the restaurant business. He jokes today that his decision was best for all concerned.
"When I went in the seminary," Elbling says with a laugh, "my older brother slapped my shoulder and said, 'Paul, if you become a priest one day, I will be the pope!' And I was afraid that my brother might be the pope!"
Beginning with an apprenticeship at a local restaurant as a young teen, Elbling embarked on a career that took him to, among others, the famous Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France, and the Georges V Hotel in Paris. As an apprentice, he worked 90-hour weeks with a dozen peers to help 57 cooks.
"[At one restaurant] we had a huge stove, the length of the dining room," he recalls, noting that the massive fixture connected to the water pipes supplying the hotel above. "We had to be down there every day at 5:30 a.m. to clean the stove – so the hotel residents would have hot water."
Two years after becoming a chef in the resort city of Baden-Baden, Germany, Elbling earned his European Master Chef Degree. That same year, driving near his home in the Alsace region of France, he met his wife-to-be, Marie Antoinette.
"On the road, she passed me going very fast. She made a fishtail!" he says, tracing the car's near spin-out with a gesture. Indignant, Elbling caught up with Marie at the next stoplight. "I got out of my car and gave her hell," he says.
Marie began crying. "It's my birthday," she told the stranger. "I'm going to my birthday party and I'm in a hurry. . . Would you like to come?"
After the couple married, they came to America in 1967, fulfilling a dream Elbling had had since he was five years old. He had never forgotten the Americans who liberated his family from a German labor farm in 1945. "They gave us Hershey bars and Spam," he says, describing the menu as if it were a sumptuous gourmet repast. "[Spam] was the first meat I'd ever had.
"Now when I go hunting or fishing, I always take a can of Spam," he adds. "It brings a good memory."
When the Elbling family returned home from the labor farm, they found their house bombed. Lt. Joe O'Neill of Chicago, who then drove the family to Paul's grandparents' house to live, kept in touch for years afterwards. He helped Elbling with the paperwork that allowed him to move to America, but passed away before the process was finalized.
"Otherwise," says Elbling, "I'd be in Chicago today."
Guinness world records
After three years in Washington, D.C., where he served as chef in the Restaurant Chez Francois and the Washington Hotel, the Elblings moved to metro Richmond. Since establishing La Petite France, Paul Elbling has compiled a lengthy resume of honors, including Richmond Small Businessman of the Year (1982), Restaurateur of the Year from the Virginia Restaurant Association (1985), Academy Award of the Restaurant Industry, and the Great American Chef's Award.
He has also been cited for excellence in Southern Living and Gourmet Magazine and earned several records in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the world's largest omelet (10,470 eggs), world's largest ice carving and longest sandwich.
All the Guinness stunts were charity benefits, and he continues to be a frequent contributor of auction items (the latest a dinner for 10, prepared at the buyer's home) for non-profits such as the Maymont Foundation and Heart Fund. For another favorite charity, Little Sisters of the Poor, Elbling has helped raise more than $1 million. He also thoroughly enjoys getting monthly letters from two youngsters in Appalachia "adopted" through Children, Inc.
Among his proudest accomplishments, however, was founding the Virginia Chefs Association apprenticeship program. His first apprentice remains at La Petite France with him 35 years later.
"He would never leave," Elbling jokes.
Another one of his most satisfying achievements was winning two gold medals for the United States in the 1980 International Culinary Olympiques.
"When we got the gold medal," he recalls, "my old chef from the George V – 83 years old – was there watching, and he had tears in his eyes."
Elbling was equally emotional as French officials awarded him four medals – what military types jokingly refer to as a "fruit salad" of colorful ribbons -- for his wartime medical service at the recent ceremony in Blotzheim.
"What was very impressive about this was my brother, a retired general, was the one pinning on the medal," he says. "And the kids [of Blotzheim] came with American flags, and they played the [American] anthem.
"I had tears in my eyes."
The medals, soon to be mounted on the wall of his home off River Road, recall for Elbling the cherished memory of a conversation in 1970, when he and Marie returned to France to be at the bedside of his dying mother.
"She was always very jovial," Elbling says of his mother. "First, she told my wife, 'Marie Antoinette, Paul is a good boy, but keep him on a leash!' [Marie] hasn't forgotten that!" he says with a laugh.
Then his mother turned to him and said, "I am so happy for you. Your dream has come true."
"We wouldn't go back [to France] for anything," Elbling concludes emphatically.
"We love it here."

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month. Cuisia (pictured above with festival performers) was welcomed by County Manager John Vithoulkas and Brookland District Supervisor Dick Glover (below) at the church, which is located in Lakeside.
While enjoying some of the cultural performances at the festival, the ambassador and his wife had a private lunch with Vithoulkas, Glover, Eldon Burton (an outreach representative from U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner's Office) and Father James Begley, the pastor of OLL. > Read more.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

- Dirks dealing with sore hamstring
- Laird shows poise in tough spot
- Leyland hopes to see more plate discipline
SEATTLE -- Ryan Raburn didn't get the start at second base on Wednesday, but his shift to left field marked his sixth straight start in as many days as Tigers manager Jim Leyland continues to try to get him going at the plate.Leyland hasn't said how he'll handle second base over the weekend in Oakland, but with Ramon Santiago already scheduled to give shortstop Jhonny Peralta a day off in the opener, Raburn will almost certainly be at second Thursday night, then either at second or back in left field Friday against lefty Tommy Milone. Raburn entered Thursday batting 1-for-7 for the series and 2-for-20 in May, dropping his season average to .135. There's a limit to Leyland's patience, he hinted, but having seen the difference Raburn can make when he's going at the plate, he's trying his best to get him there. "At some point, it'll stop if it doesn't start to get better," Leyland said. "At some point, you do something different. But what I've tried to do is to see. "If you get Raburn going, that's production. He produces. He hits the ball over the fence. If you get [Ramon Santiago] going, he's really a nice player for you. They both have their assets, obviously, but I'm trying to give Raburn the benefit of the doubt to play him a few days in a row to see if we can get him going. Because it just doesn't work when you [mix guys]. We tried that, kind of, to play somebody a game or two and then get him out because he doesn't hit, then play somebody else a game, then try somebody. "I mean, we can't be experimenting with Worth, Santiago and Raburn all year long. Somebody has got to step up. Hopefully it's Raburn, because when he hits, he can score you from first a lot. But right now he's not hitting."
Dirks dealing with sore hamstring
SEATTLE -- The way Andy Dirks has been hitting lately, it's far from automatic that a left-handed starting pitcher could stop him. A bad hamstring, however, could.That was the big reason Tigers manager Jim Leyland cited in not starting Dirks Wednesday night against Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas. It was the same reason Leyland pulled him Tuesday night as one of his defensive substitutions. "I'm giving him a night off," Leyland said Wednesday afternoon. "I mean, I'll pinch-hit him if I have to, but kind of I'm letting that [rest]. I'm going to tell him to go in and get treated. "He's OK, he's playing and he's playing hard. But if he doesn't have to go all out, he's not going all out. And I don't mean that derogatory. I mean that as a compliment." Ryan Raburn started in left field, as he has often been doing against left-handed starters lately, with Danny Worth starting at second base. The difference Wednesday is that Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas has given up his share of hits to left-handed hitters since the start of last season, nullifying the lefty-righty splits. Dirks will likely be back in the lineup Thursday against Oakland right-hander Bartolo Colon. He has held left-handed hitters to a .228 average this year but given up extra bases on 11 of those 23 hits, including five homers.
Laird shows poise in tough spot
SEATTLE -- Gerald Laird couldn't resist the joke on his way out after Tuesday night's win, saying he was "Verlander's psychologist today."OK, so Justin Verlander probably didn't need that much counseling, despite his frustrations over home-plate umpire Brian Knight's strike zone. But somebody had to make sure nobody said a magic word that would either set off Verlander or prompt Knight to eject the reigning American League Cy Young winner and MVP. As the catcher in between the two, Laird had that role. The problem was, he also was the only healthy catcher the Tigers had while Alex Avila was dealing with a sore knee, so he couldn't afford to pick up the fight and take the damage for his pitcher. In fact, manager Jim Leyland reminded Laird of that fact on his way out after his ejection. So Laird played negotiator. "I just told [Knight] I'll take care of it," Laird said. "I said, 'It's just the heat of the game, that's all it is. He wants his pitch.' I said, 'I think they're close, but I'll take care of it.' And then next inning, I said, 'He's just a competitor. He wants his pitches. There's no hard feelings.'" Normally, Laird would be picking up his pitcher's cause, an irony he noted afterwards. "I can't get thrown out right there," Laird said. "I'm trying to be the smart guy. Usually, I'm the other guy yelling at the umpire."
Leyland hopes to see more plate discipline
SEATTLE -- For much of these first five weeks, Tigers manager Jim Leyland has been watching his offense from the dugout and wondering why a team with so many dangerous bats has been struggling to get going. His first ejection of the season on Tuesday might have given him the angle to step back and figure out why."When you're in the dugout, you can't always tell [plate discipline], but one of our problems -- and I was talking with [hitting coach Lloyd McClendon] after the game about it -- one of our problems, and we've watched some of it, but we swung at a lot of balls," Leyland said. "We're not going to hit if we swing at the kind of pitches we swung at after the third or fourth inning. I mean, we just did not show plate discipline, we did not grind out at-bats, and we swung at a lot of balls. We're too good of a team to do that. Our hitters are too good to do that. We made a lot of outs on balls, and we swung at a lot of bad pitches. So that's one thing we're going to have to do a little better at, but we're very capable of that, and we will." It's an angle available to players and coaches when they're looking at video, but it's different just watching the normal course of a game as it happens. In the natural sequence of a game, the regularity of the bad at-bats stands out. It also costs a little perspective -- there was one swing and miss from Raburn that Leyland particularly noticed, he said, only to find out later it was a hit-and-run play -- but that was a one-pitch difference on the regular theme. "When you're just observing a game, sometimes you see things different," Leyland said. "We're just swinging at too many balls. We're not even giving ourselves a chance. We're not making a guy work."

NEW ORLEANS -- The Krewe of Endymion rolled out on its traditional Orleans Avenue area route around 5:30 p.m. without its prime band and a lot of its fans at first.
The weather-plagued superkrewe faced a tough decision for the second year in a row and weather had it push the start time of their mega-event back more than an hour and lop off part of its route, but the rains began falling again just as riders prepared to take off.
The St. Aug marching 100 pulled out of the parade along with several other marching bands, leaving the back of the parade float-heavy.
The crowds were small along the route at the start, but they grew as the rains lightened and then stopped and by the midpoint of the parade, the crowds were healthy, though nowhere near the 30-deep crowds the krewe usually draws.
Endymion faced a tough choice as reports since the end of the work week indicated that very heavy and perhaps severe rains were forecast for Saturday. The krewe, the only one that parades along a Mid-City route, wanted badly to roll along its traditional route and on its traditional day as a rainout would have forced it to play second fiddle to Bacchus Sunday night and to eschew its traditional route for the Uptown one used by most New Orleans krewes.
Some hearty fans, who build much of their Carnival season around the parade in their neighborhood, withstood the rains and got soaked. Some made the best of the situation, making a makeshift 'slip and slide'.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Coach Casey: A No-Nonsense Guy
If there is one quality I really appreciate about Coach Chris Casey it's the fact he's a pretty no-nonsense guy. He is one of those people who tells it like it is and cuts to the chase. He's also unwavering in his stance that it takes an incredible amount of hard work to build what he calls "championship-caliber people."
It should come as no surprise, then, that he doesn't have a lot of patience for people looking to "cruise" or take the easy way out. It's one of the reasons he's not a big fan of the push-button/instant gratification mentality so prevalent in our tech-savvy society. I guess you could describe him as "old school" - someone who doesn't like excuses, expects excellence and is willing to put in the hours and effort himself to get the job done.
In previous issues of Kickoff, we've talked at length about Chris' philosophy and what he expects of his players. I'm here to attest that he holds himself to the same high standard of excellence. Recently we created a video series featuring coach Casey in which we allowed him to share his thoughts on the role athletics play in education and character development. I am sharing the second of those video clips with you today (above). It gives you a little more insight into the approach coach is taking with this program. Enjoy.
Get to Know the Coach: Running Backs Coach Patrick Prince
This week, we resume our "Get to Know the Coach" feature. In this issue, I'd like to introduce you to Patrick Prince, who has been primarily working with our running backs this fall.
Prince was a two-time Portland-area All-Metro League performer and football walk-on at the University of Oregon. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., he played high school football for Chris Casey at Aloha High School, where he earned four letters in both football and basketball and one letter in track and field. He was a two-time All-Metro League selection in both football and basketball. He made the Oregon Ducks' roster as a walk-on in 2008, but eventually had to leave the program due to his father's health concerns.
Prince is a graduate of Portland State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in community development and social science (with an emphasis in economics) and a minor in Black studies. An astute businessman, he has owned the Up Side Down Clothing Store since 2005 and owned and operated three Sara Lee distribution routes since 2008, with more than a million dollars' worth of total bakery sales during that time. He resides in Aloha, Ore.
Construction Update
Here is the latest Andersen Construction report on the Duke Athletic Center: Progress continues even in the cold weather. As of Friday, painters were a few days from completing the building paint except around the elevator, which cannot be completed until the elevator is installed. The elevator is staged in the weight room and installation started today. Exterior metal panels are going in and will be complete by end of the week. Vinyl flooring in the four small restrooms started today as well.
Tile installation in the locker room restroom and shower were tackled last week, with completion scheduled by the end of this week. Site sidewalks and curbs were placed last week and should be complete by the end of the week, although this freezing weather is not helping.
Ceiling installation on the second floor will start this week.
Thanks again for your support of this project!

OK, the shipping calculator he included is for "freightquote.com" which is a shipping service tied in to eBay. It appears that the seller did exactly what was promised for $40 -- "a local man will strap it to a pallet , load it on a freight truck and send it freight collect". Unfortunately, the local man evidently didn't take it to a truck lined up by freightquote.com . If he did, you need to resolve the problem with freightquote.com . If he did not, you need to resolve the problem with the seller. Including the freightquote.com shipping calculator pretty thoroughly implies that he will use freightquote.com or at least find a comparable shipping rate.
The seller has an eBay rating approaching 3,000 so he should know better than quote one shipper then ship by another.
How did you pay for it? Not sure you have much leverage on this whole deal, but what you have may depend on how you paid.

Rachel Bilson gets bangs: new haircut
Love It or Hate It? Rachel Bilson's Blunt-Cut Bangs
by POPSUGAR Beauty 133 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Rachel Bilson premiered more than just her movie Jumper in Japan earlier today. Check out her new blunt-cut bangs. It's easy to understand why she'd want to change up her hairstyle a little bit. She's been in hundreds pictures recently promoting this movie and her hair has pretty much stayed the same ever since The O.C.. What do you think of this new cut?

not too great on her.
daniASHrich 6 years
i dont think she likes it either.
Wicked 6 years
It doesn't look good on her. Her head is small and the bangs are huge. A little too Peggy Bundy.
juliarose23 6 years
sorry rach, but they just don't suit you...
redheath 6 years
Her face is way to petite for all those bangs.
jenwils 6 years
Poor girl - she's beautiful but those bangs are frightful. Why do celebs have to jump on every trend? She was fine just as she was.
calliope 6 years
I really don't like this trend of bangs that are hanging a little bit in the eyes. Plus I think Rachel Bilson looks like a corpse.

Poor Rachel She's turned into one of those booble-head Bratz dolls with the big, big head and too, too skinny bod ..... this haircut just accentuates that ..... eat a carb now and then, sweetie
JessLehry 6 years
i think the bangs are a bit much... but love her just the same!
Greentea1203 6 years
I LOVE bangs as I've had them my whole life, but hers are TOO big.
lala788 6 years
i don't like it, something is off
tattooed_fairy 6 years
I voted undecided because I don't HATE it, but I do think she looked much much better before! Grow them out rach!
luux_lu 6 years
I like it but not the color.
the-makeup-blogette 6 years
like a mop, too heavy. weirdo looking!!
amabran 6 years
the bangs are a little overwhelming, BUT she is such a beautiful girl - with that face you can do no wrong really. plus the bangs are sort of reminiscent of 60s style Brigit Bardot...
summer1810 6 years
I like it but her beautiful eyes are hidden :( I love the old hairstyle too.
mintz 6 years
i love the style but not on her. her head looks HUGE!
GlowingMoon 6 years
No. Her face looks too squished together. We need to see some of her forehead to open up her face, as her eyes, nose, and mouth are naturally very close together. JMHO.
waffley 6 years
How deep they were cut makes her forehead look huge.
diesdre 6 years
That must be the ugliest color for her.
belle102 6 years
theyre ok but i liked her better before
KristinDaBomb 6 years
Not lovin it.
eastbook 6 years
LuvLeoDiCaprio 6 years
She looks awful
Hautie 6 years
It looks like a bad wig... so I hope it is a bad wig and she did not intentionally cut her hair this way.
bailaoragaditana 6 years
There's a reason she stuck with that old hairstyle so long... it worked! Now she looks like a serious leftover from the 70s. All she needs is some bellbottoms, a tie-dye item, and some flowers.
sophia_HL 6 years
The bangs need to be shorter so her forehead does not look so freakishly HUGE.
kaenai 6 years
No. She looks like a Conehead, with 50% less cone.
darlene 6 years
the bangs don't look good on her
jennjennnbubba 6 years
not feeling the bangs
Tabloid 6 years
It's not pretty on her but at least she took the risk to try something new. Peoples who has small forehead should never have bangs, it's a bad idea.
LilyBiscuit7 6 years
Not good.......a young Marie Osmond!!
bridget0621 6 years
haha, buzz! I didn't even see your jenny lewis comment. I totally thought the same thing!
bridget0621 6 years
i think she's wearing a jenny lewis costume. in seriousness, her features are waaaay too small for those bangs.
tamyvinec 6 years
I don't like to say this but this really doesn't suit her. The bangs are too "heavy". Much better without
any 6 years
i dont like it
cottonpoots 6 years
The color is fugly.
POPSUGAR-Entertainment 6 years
At first glance, I didn't like it. At second glance, she reminded me a little of Jenny Lewis. So I guess I'm officially undecided.
Bookish 6 years
It just looks a little childish on her. She's already teeny with those cute cheeks- it just makes her look more adorable than glamorous. I don't hate it, but I liked it better before.
staaarawr 6 years
and i always thought she could do no wrong.
LilyC 6 years
No, no, no! What was she thinking? Was she trying to look 12? Yuck.
bb_atthebeach 6 years
I'm still undecided. But I think her previous look was fitting her better.
cittypark 6 years
she looks adorable!
PRPLskwrl 6 years
Those are going to be hard to grow out!! I'm sure we'll see some extensions on her real soon to fix that mistake!!

OH MY GOD what the hell is she trying to say here..that she can look like a 13 year old boy in drag..The color and bangs have got to go and also funny how she matches the color of the billboard..as she did in US with the togo gold to match the billboard there...The lady needs help with what not to wear...

For me, this is just too heavy of a bang. Perhaps if she had gone a little lighter it would look better, but it looks like her forehead is suffering from a hostile invasion by these things. I totally agree that it makes her face seem tiny; she's got Darth Vader hair, all I see is the hair and not her gorgeous face. The color looks nice though, and I do give her props for changing it up.
CoMMember13630786602261 6 years
I dont think this hair do is flattering on her at all. She is a teeny tiny girl and the bangs totally overwhelm her face.
bluesarahlou 6 years
I think this is an unflattering picture of her. I've seen her in other pictures and her hair looks great :)
coachluvr33 6 years
NOOOOOOO!! Rachel, you were adorable before. Why?? She is still cute, but I don't like this look on her at all.
angelina8023 6 years
She is a beautiful girl, but I don't know if I totally dig the bangs.
kayleigh83 6 years
she would look cute with bangs, but not THESE ones. they just don't flatter her face very well.

Either way she bugs me- but it looks like she has a whoadie head now-

I love bangs, I have similar one myself , but Rachel look so much cuter without it!

Nope, don't like it. Doesn't look good on her.
lilprincess 6 years
From far away it looks okay, but up close it's just too much. It looks like she's drowning in hair. Her face looks so small and overpowered. She's still so adorable though!

I hate it.
Cooties-Bootie 6 years
Rachel Bilson allways looks great! but her face is so pretty why, hide it under all that bang, maybe if it wasnt so much??
vinnie 6 years
she's a really cute girl. this haircut does not suit her delicate face.
Merlin713 6 years
Like mentioned above, it makes her head look even more odd. I think she should go for a complete hair CUT and just chop it. It will make her look taller. ;-)
jknocking 6 years
Her hair is overpowering her face...I think she should try something shorter.
glam-sugar 6 years
This is a horrible look for her.

I'm not loving it. I hate the color.

I love it! She looks a little less like death with this new 'do. Prettyyy.

The style itself is cute, but on her, it makes her head look shrunken because of how high up they set the point

I think these might be a little heavy, but still look good. She had side swept bangs that I thought looked great on the 2nd season of the OC.
bythesea 6 years
I'm all about the bangs, so I love it. I'm the type that likes to change my hair all the time, whether it is subtly or dramatic, so I'm glad she finally did something different.
emalove 6 years
No! She looked so much better before. She's such a cute girl, but I don't think this look flatters her at all.
insi 6 years
bangs could even ugly face look pretty and it definitely suits her
AKirstin 6 years
More layering near her cheekbones and some texturizing to make them less blunt, and not creating the bangs from so far back on the crown and she'll be good. Focusing on her lips instead of her eyes with makeup will help, too.
iRose 6 years
Eww. Looks like a mop.
jasmint 6 years
Her head was already too big for her body, and she already looked like a little kid. No need to get such heavy, blunt bangs!
pandacn 6 years
I usually love Rachel's style and I hate to say it, but this is way worse than Katie Holmes. She has a beautiful face and the bangs completely overshadow her face and also I liked the darker color on her much better. There's a reason that she should stick with "Summer" hair. It was what worked.
wingedkiare 6 years
I like it, but I'm pretty sure it's a wig. Something about the way her hair is parted just doesn't seem real.
missfruztiez 6 years
I don't like it.. It makes her forehead look huge.

She looks better the other way!

Take advantage of the Family Opportunity Loan
Do you have a college bound child? Why pay room or board or high city rents?
Boston is known for a lot of things and Higher Education ranks up at the top. With 58 total institutions of higher education inside 128 / 95 loop (excluding colleges and universities along the North Shore, South Shore and in suburbs to the west) metropolitan Boston enrolls about 250,000 students.
With so many students enrolled in the Boston area and rents on the rise many parents are taking advantage of a loan program that allows them to buy a one unit home for their college bound son or daughter.
With the Family Opportunity loan program, the parent purchases the property as a 2nd home but it will be the child's primary residence. This is an advantage over buying the home as an investment property because it allows for a lower down payment, easier condo guidelines if buying a condo and lower rate compared to an investment property purchase.
Here's a quick comparison:
Family Opportunity
Maximum Loan to Value: 90%
Minimum Credit Score: 620 up to 90%
Condominium Owner Occupancy Requirements: No Requirement
Investment Property
Maximum Loan to Value: 85%
Minimum Credit Score: 680 up to 85%
Condominium Owner Occupancy Requirements: 51% Owner Occupied
Here are some of the Family Opportunity Loan Program Guidelines to be aware of:
- Child must be enrolled in college (documentation validating current enrollment is required).
- Subject property must be within a reasonable proximity to the university that the child is attending.
- Property must be a reasonable distance from the parent?s home in order to be classified as a true second home. The subject property can provide the parents a place to stay while visiting the campus, but it will be the child?s primary residence.
- Property cannot be rented and it must be occupied by the child for a minimum of one year.
- Borrowers may not own additional second/vacation homes in the same locale.
- A letter from the borrower describing the purpose is required.
- Parents will apply and qualify for the loan. The child is not an applicant and does not factor into the qualifying for the mortgage.
- Parents own the property. If the child is of legal age, the child may join the parents on the title, but it is not required.
The Massachusetts housing market experienced one of its best years in 2013 as sales rose to pre-recession levels and home values increased rapidly. With interest rates still near their all-time lows, avoid paying room and board or city rents for your college bound child. Contact me today for a free consultation to see if you qualify for the Family Opportunity Loan Program!Connect with Craig on Social Media:

DURANT, OK -- A longtime Bryan County leader stepped into retirement, amid some recent controversy surrounding the agency she heads up.
Big 5 Community Services executive director Carol Ammons, 70, says she is retiring after six years in charge, and employees held a going away party on Friday afternoon.
This month, three of the group's fifteen board members resigned, after a dispute over who should fill Ammons's shoes. "She resigned, she wanted to retire, but in the meantime we couldn't agree on her replacement," says former board member Carl Tackett.
Tackett says they wanted 33-year employee Beth Parker to replace Ammons, a 22-year-employee, instead of an outside candidate.
Big 5 provides Head Start, Southern Oklahoma Rural Transit System bus services, help to the developmentally disabled, and job training in several counties. Ammons says it currently has 700 employees and an $18 million budget.

Some real Wisconsin Outdoor Fun?
January 25 and 26 mark the 25th anniversary of the Special Olympics Wisconsin State Winter Games. You would be hard pressed to see athletes having a better time competing than what these games demonstrate. Nearly 300 athletes converge on Wausau and the surrounding area to strive for podium finishes in the sports of downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoe racing.
More about the Games.
Nine Mile Forest, located in the town of Rib Mountain (south west of Wausau) is the venue for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and also involves the largest number of competing Special Olympians. Ages can range from 8 to 99, participating in race distances of 50 meters (Sprints) to 7.5 kilometers. Nine Mile Forest has played host for 15 years and is ideal for spectators and athletes alike. The trail system is well suited for racing, and allows for up close and personal cheering from fans and supporters. Games begin around noon both days.
The Granite Peak ski hill on Rib Mountain, will host all alpine events and is held on Saturday the 25th. The slopes of Granite peak are perfect for all Special Olympic events from slalom to Super G. Some of the athletes competing this year have been to World Games and are amazing to watch. Ive never attended a state games that, for a winter lover, is more fun to be a part of.
Volunteering to help athletes has been one of the most rewarding things Ive done. Theres something just awesome about watching pure joy and sportsmanship ... and athletic skill, in these athletes.
The 25th anniversary is still in need of volunteers, so if you are interested in being a part of this fantastic event, in any sport, please contact Jerry Lyon at Tel 715-848-0550 or you can register directly at http://sowi.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1097125

The reduced fare and Mobility fare changes are as follows:

He came over to our home the following week for our visit. We sat down in our living room, and after talking for a while my wife served us a glass of iced tea and we continued talking. We moved over to the dinner table and he sat across the table from my wife and I.
Finally, he asked me this question, it was a simple question, but I shall never forget the profound impact it had upon me at that time. My wife sitting with us at the table heard every word that was said. He looked me straight in the eye and asked me this question, "Truemon if you were to die at this very moment do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?"
It is a question you can only answer one of two ways, either yes or no. My answer was "no I don't think I would."
He then said, "If I could show you for sure, that you could know for sure that if you were to die at this very moment, that you would go to heaven, would you be willing to do it?"
Without any hesitation I said "yes" and my wife also said "yes," and without any hesitation he opened up his Bible to the Book of Romans, and this is what he read to my wife and I. He called it the Roman Road.
He began reading at Romans 3:10 — As it is written there is no one righteous, not even one. Romans 3:23 — For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 5:12 — Therefore just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. Romans 6:23 — For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:8 — But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10: 9-10 — That if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord;" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:13 — for "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
After reading these verses from the Bible, he asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus Christ as my own personal saviour, and I said "yes" and my wife also said "yes."
So my wife and I bowed our heads and asked Jesus Christ to forgive us all our sins, and asked him to come into our hearts and lives and save us and be our Saviour, and since that day in November of 1966 my life and my wife's life, were changed forever.
All the doubt and fear was removed from my heart, and I had peace in my heart, because I knew for sure that no matter when I die whether it is at this very moment or whenever it is — I am for sure going to heaven when I die, it doesn't matter — if you accept Jesus as your own personal Saviour and Lord you too will go to Heaven when you die.
God said it in the Bible, in the Book of Romans, you can read it for yourself, I believe it, and God's word is true, so that settles it forever and ever. It is God who is telling us this, and what he says he will do. Amen, and Amen!

---- — MALONE — A jury took less than two hours to convict a St. Regis Falls man of two of the three drug charges he faced in Franklin County Court.
Ritchie DeCarr, 59, was convicted of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance before Acting County Court Judge Felix J. Catena.
He was found not guilty of one count of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Sentencing is set for April 26, when he could face nine years in state prison on each count.
It was a series of tips from the community that led to the arrest and conviction, said District Attorney Derek Champagne.
After two days of testimony, the jury took about an hour and 45 minutes to come back with a verdict.
The case was tried by Assistant District Attorneys Elizabeth Crawford and Gary Pasqua.

The Rams can't catch a break, losing two key members of their secondary early against the Browns. From the team's official Twitter account:
Considering the Browns are without Peyton Hillis and his primary backup Montario Hardesty, they probably entered this game with plans to rely on the passing game — and now, that just got easier.
But do they have the weapons to take advantage? The Browns came into the game averaging 207 passing yards per game, ranked 25th in the league. Colt McCoy has only 48 yards on 6-for-9 passing early in the second quarter. The Rams, meanwhile, came into the game with the league's 12th-ranked pass defense.
For more on this game, visit Rams blog Turf Show Times and Browns blog Dawgs By Nature.

Look at the Type of Signs you can do Too!
Look what one of our customers did with just a little imagination and a few hours of work. He transformed some steel into a very elaborate Multi-Dimensional Sign for his local American Legion. As you can see here there is about 8 layers of different thicknesses of steel making up this Ond-of-a-Kind Sign. You will not find your local Sign Company to be able to produce a project like this. Most Sign companies are only use to working with Sign Foam, Aluminum and Vinyl. Notice the dome shape to it, just like a police badge. This sign is aprox. 4ft by 4ft, and what a piece! I am sure his American Legion post is very proud of their sign, you can do the same.

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar has joined forces with a Woodbury family to get a former University of Minnesota student out of prison overseas after he was arrested in April over a comedy sketch.
The post Shez Cassim made was in the same mockumentary vein as the movie "Borat." It's called "Ultimate Combat System: The Deadly Satwa Gs" and the almost 20-minute episode can be found on YouTube. It begins with a disclaimer that reads: "The following events are fictional and no offence was intended to the people of Satwa and UAE."
WATCH: Ultimate Combat System: The Deadly Satwa Gs on YouTube
The fake documentary follows a cast of young men in Dubai's upscale suburb of Satwa, but they aren't nearly as cool or tough as they'd like. So, they attend a combat school where the weapons of choice are shoes, headwear and cell phones.
To put it in local context, the video is similar to what one would expect from a fake documentary about the Crips and Bloods of Edina developing their own form of fighting using stereotypical clothing.
The video essentially pokes fun of young toughs who are really just posers, but the intelligence service of the United Arab Emirates didn't see the humor.
Cassim created the video more than a year ago, but in April, he was arrested -- along with four of his friends who had participated in the video. Court officials say the video violated a cyber crimes law and was a threat to national security.
The ordeal would seem like a parody within a parody if it wasn't so serious.
"Prosecutors accused them of affecting the national security of the state," Shervon Cassim, the filmmaker's brother, told Fox 9 News.
Family members say Shez Cassim, a Woodbury native and graduate of the University of Minnesota, has been living in Dubai for several years, working as a business consultant. From 7,000 miles away, his loved ones have been losing sleep over his continued detainment.
"We just want people to know we love our brother very much and we just want him home for Christmas," Shervon Cassim said.
Cassim's family has been working with Sen. Amy Klobuchar to have him released. She's been putting pressure on the State Department, and even met with the ambassador from the United Arab Emirates this summer.
"UAE holds itself out as a place for American kids to get educated; they have campuses for our universities," Klobuchar said. "Just doesn't make sense."
Nothing in the video explicitly offensive in terms of religion, and even though the disclaimer states from the beginning that it is not intended to be offensive, the courts aren't even sure what's being said. The jokes are made in English, and the courts have asked for a translation.
"On Nov. 25, another judge appeared and said, 'We're still waiting for a translation,'" Shervon Cassim said.
However, the court hearings keep getting delayed when the judge simply doesn't show up. There's no American due process in Dubai, and that has left Cassim sitting in federal prison in Abu Dhabi. His family is allowed phone calls, but they have no idea when he may be released.
"This would never happen in the USA," Klobuchar said.
According to Human Rights Watch, the situation In the UAE has gotten worse over the last few years -- not only in terms of violating the human rights of foreign workers, but also in allowing people to exercise free speech.

In an unsurprising (but nevertheless concerning) bit of news, Ron Borges of the Boston Herald reports that the New England Patriots will not use the costly $11.4 million franchise tag to retain WR Wes Welker for another year:
The Patriots are simply not going to put an $11.4 million franchise tag on Welker, someone with intimate knowledge of the team's thinking said. Nor is he going to get an offer better than the one he turned down in 2011.
The move--or lack thereof--was to be expected. Just last season, the team appeared to do everything in its power to hammer out a long-term contract extension with Welker. Talks were unsuccessful--and extremely far apart--so the Patriots opted to use the $9.6 million franchise tag to prevent Welker from walking in free agency and delay contract negotiations until a more favorable time presented itself.
Fast forward a year later, and both the Patriots and Welker find themselves in an eerily similar position--except this season, the estimated franchise tag for wide receivers is a staggering $11.4 million. It's a price tag that is predictably prohibitive for the Patriots to want to touch. All the more troubling is Borges' assertion that Welker is unlikely to receive a better offer than the one he turned down the previous year--a fully guaranteed two-year, $16 million deal.
With the team unlikely to stray too far from that figure, the onus is now on Wes Welker to come down on his price or seek a higher deal elsewhere. It's unfortunate that the status of New England's most accomplished wideout has come down to business-soiled hardball, but it's always been the Patriots' avoidance of excessive overspending that allows them to build a deep and competitive roster each and every season. With Tom Brady, Logan Mankins, and the tight end tandem of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski already receiving the lion's share of cash, the team has very limited funds to appropriate on the offensive side of the ball. Unless Welker and his agent discover a veritable desert in the vast free agent field, it's frighteningly possible that we've seen the last of Welker's days in a Patriots uniform.
