A lawyer for a member of the Independent Redistricting Commission told a judge Monday he may seek a "gag order'' to stop Attorney General Tom Horne from comparing his allegations of activities of panel members to Watergate.
Paul Charlton said he understands that Horne wants to question three of the five commissioners to determine whether they violated the state's Open Meeting Law. The commissioners, in turn, contend that law does not apply to them, leaving Horne and his staff powerless to force them to submit to interviews.
But Charlton told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Dean Fink that while Horne is free to litigate that issue, he is not free to "impugn the integrity'' of the commissioners. Charlton said if Horne keeps up the rhetoric, he will ask the judge to bar the attorney general from giving any more interviews on the subject.
Horne, however, was not to be deterred: Moments after the hearing ended, he repeated his allegations, defending his comparison between the conduct of the commissioners he is investigating and the scandal and cover-up that eventually brought down the Nixon administration.
"I think it's exactly accurate,'' he said.
"In Watergate, they tried to use executive privilege to keep information secret,'' Horne said. In this case, he said, commission members are claiming "legislative privilege'' to refuse to divulge conversations they had with each other.
"It didn't work there and I don't think it will work here,'' he said.
The fight is over contentions by Horne that Colleen Mathis, who chairs the commission, called at least two other members of the panel earlier this year while the panel was debating who to choose as a consultant to draw new congressional and legislative boundaries.
Horne contends that she pressed the other commissioners to vote for Strategic Telemetry, a firm with strong ties to Democrats. He said that calling two other commissioners on the five-member panel violates the Open Meeting Law because it involves a majority of the commission making a decision.
Republicans Scott Freeman and Richard Stertz already have talked with Horne's investigators. But Mathis, a political independent, and the two Democrats on the panel, Linda McNulty and Jose Herrera, refused. So he went to court to compel them to speak.
Charlton, whom Mathis hired to represent her, told Fink that Horne needs to cool his rhetoric.
Horne said he will not.
"I think it's shocking that public officials are refusing to testify,'' he said. "And it's my job to make sure that this is not stonewalled and that they do testify.''
Horne said the rules on commenting apply only to criminal cases. He said this is a civil matter, even though the punishment could mean removal from office, whether by a judge or being impeached by the state Senate.
But Charlton said Horne crosses the line when he uses phrases that suggest criminal conduct, including "Watergate'' and "cover-up.''
"Those are not civil allegations,'' he said.
Fink scheduled a hearing on the issue for early next month. But whichever side loses is likely to appeal, further delaying a final ruling on whether the commissioners need to testify.
That raises the possibility that Horne's investigation could drag on into next year, long after the commission adopts final legislative and congressional maps. And Horne said if one or more commissioners are removed from office for violating the Open Meeting Law, that could force the panel to revisit the whole issue, potentially wiping out months of work.

Volvo S70
genghis721 Posts: 53All Gas is pretty much the same. Only the additives change. Your major brands (Texaco, Mobil, Exxon, Chevron, etc) put detergents and other additives into the mix to improve engine life and to clean the pipes out, so to speak.
Most (but not all) stations, regardless of brand, get their gasoline from terminals -- the hydrocarbons are the same. They then can pick the additive from additive dispensing units, usually coloacated with the gasoline.
It's August 18. They still have my car (but I have their loaner (heh! heh! heh!). They are still performing diagnostics to determine if it is the tranny. My service rep called me Wednesday to say that they had one more check to perform, then they would order the new tranny. He said that it would take two weeks to get the new one so I should return the loaner and use my car until then. I had planned to hold their car for ransom and say you'll get yours when I get mine when they called but.......it is now Saturday, and I have no idea where they stand because no one has called me!!!
Will I ever get a status call?
Will my tranny be replaced?
Will I be driving in their loaner car the next several years?
Tune in next week...........
hatemys70 Posts: 2The posters who mentioned the rotten eggs smell and 'check engine' light BEWARE. Sooner or later, you will have a major repair. The rotten eggs smell is early sign of a failing converter if you don't get the oxygen sensors repaired (I'm on my third set now) and other portions of the emissions system at very high cost. Don't bother contacting Volvo customer service. They don't care about their customers, as they've proven to me.
I too have a rotten egg smell in addition to my others on the laundry list. They have changed filters and tell me to swithch to a higher octane after they tell me to use 89. I tried the regional cust service but they just blow smoke up your [non-permissible content removed]!!
I called them yesterday around 4:30 p.m. since no one called me and the suspense was killing me. Turns out that the tranny was not even ordered yet. There is one more test they had to perform on the trans but they lost the tool and had to order a new one!!! I've lost count but I think they've had the car for over 14 days already and we have not moved forward. I have been driving for 23 years and have never owned a car that has lived this long in the repair shop - COMBINED!!!! If you are looking to buy one of these...................BEWARE
I had a 1999 Volvo S70. It, too, was undependable, in the shop almost every month. I think the trick with Volvos is to know when to hold em, know when to fold em. The S70 either (a) is good and solid right from the get go, and will last forever or (b) will always be a problem. There is no in between. Even superb dealer service does not make up for time wasted chasing problems with these cars. I am not writing to bash Volvo. I really liked my S70, but traded it last December for a Toyota Avalon. The Volvo was better in some ways, but overall the Avalon is a much better car than the S70, and I think, S60. I've got 9,000 miles on the Avalon, 3 oil/filter changes, AND THAT IS ALL. No blown lights or fuses, great mileage (in town 23, on the road 30), quiet, runs and handles the same every time I drive it (wish I could have said that about the S70). I would like to be able to consider an S80 in the future, but not until Volvo fixes the problems with its cars, dealers, and customer service.
albert123 Posts: 71My 98 S70 GLT is probably on the good side of your post -- solid, good engine. But it still got all the small problems(bulbs, gauges....). The latest incident just completely turned me off. The driver side's window switch burned while the window was in down position when the 4-year warranty expired a few days ago. Obviously I had to get it fixed before I could go anywhere. The dealer wouldn't honor the warranty and wanted me to leave the car there for a couple days without offering me a loaner(not in warranty). I ended up going to a nearby shop for the fix. Calling the customer service of Volvo North America yielded the same attitude as the dealer's. This is probably my last Volvo(thanks to the competitions) even though I like the new models especially the upcoming V70R and S60R.
So, in my last call on 8/21 I was told the tool to measure the pressure in the trans was lost and would be in on 8/22. So, you guessed it, no one called me on 8/22. I waited until 4:30 8/23 for a call and finally called them. I was told the part is on bac order and would take 3 WEEKS!!! I was told to return the loaner and pick up the car until the part arrives. I told my "rep" that if he was trying to tell me that I would not see a fix for 5 weeks(3 for the part, 2 for the trans) I am not returning the loaner. I get a call back and was told they will call other dealers in the area for the part. I'm beyond livid at this point.
KISS MY [non-permissible content removed] VOLVO!!!
There HAS to be someone, somewhere that likes their S70.
Actually mine is semi-ok..been to the dealer ALOT for bulbs, warning lights and one no-start..(of course couldnt be replicated or fixed)..but when it runs right its a beautiful car!
well took it on a long vaca trip yesterday..30 minutes into the trip, the check engine light comes on.. (was on months ago and apparently fixed as it was faulty)..well, started smelling rotten eggs in the car...
anyone have THAT problem... oh, posted recently that my drivers seat feel like its shifting in its tracks..someone posted back that there is a dealer fix for it...an interesting car to own.. so far my 2000 Honda civic EX coupe just has oil changes...a dull car..no fun problems to figure out...:)
GBrianK Posts: 211You need to contact the State Attorney General to determine if the dealer holding the car for as long as they have falls under the Lemon Law. I am not sure where you live, but here in Texas if the car is in the shop for more than 3 weeks and for the same problem it is a lemon. The dealership maybe attempting to get you to take the car back to dodge this rule, if it is in the books in your state.
If these problems have been occurring since the vehicle was acquired, I would make an attempt to not only contact the regional Volvo Customer Care line but the national office and the office in Sweden by mail. This is a serious issue.
If Volvo reading this post, SHAME ON YOU!
Thanks for the advice. I will check the lemon law in New York. I do not have a reoccurring problem but the three week rule is close. I wonder if the three week violation includes down-time, e.g., poor troubleshooting and delays in parts etc. I am out of luck on the lemon law. It's good for 2 yrs, 18K. I'm in this pig for 2 1/2 years. I did speak to the regional office but they are a joke. They are like talking to robots. Their answers are pre-programmed-how-to-deal-with-angry-customer responses. I will persue your advice. It's just I do not have time at work to sustain an attack. Also, thanks to all others for your input.
I was told today they have the part to check the pressure on the trans and they will check it by Monday. In any event, they are not getting the loaner until they fix the car.
I am disgusted and want out of this abusive relationship. Anyone want to buy a used Volvo w/ only 28K, dealer (dis)serviced?
cparker898 Posts: 9Sorry to hear all the problems. I have a 2000 S70 GLT SE that has been relativiley trouble free. I did have to have the front turn signals replaced under recall, the hazard/turn signal switch broke, but none of these required any overnights at the garage. I'm still happy with the car though does not feel as 'solid' as the Mercedes I owned before. Will I get another Volvo? Hard to say, but probably leaning towards a BMW 5 series.
I did not receive a call today. So....I was told on Friday, the car would be checked on either Saturday or Monday. Today is Tuesday and no one has called me.
Sorry to clog the board but this is therapeutic as well as a good way to warn others to be wary. I realize my case is extreme but this (s70) board is more of a gripe forum, clearly indicative of the car's performance. Check other vehicles and you will see that mechanical problems are not the main topic.
Got a call yesterday. The test was performed but they were not ready to order new transmission. They said it was the computer that tells the tranny to shift. Today it was put in but it did not do the trick! So they are ordering a new tranny. Should be in next week when I'll be celebrating a month without my car. Food for thought...if the car was not uder warranty when would the decision to replace the tranny have been made? I'm sure if I was paying it would have been replaced by now.
I had a problematic S70 also. If you can afford it, it sounds like its time for a new car. What will absolutely shock you (if you can be shocked at all at this point) is, if you're interested in buying a new Volvo, what they'll offer you on a trade in. AND, what they'll try and charge you for a new one. You will find you'll get a better trade from Carmax. I hung in as long as I could with an undependable, finnicky, S70... apparently, the type of behavior that delights people on the Brickboard. As I have written before in this forum, I will always remember the S70 fondly (when it ran well, which wasn't often, it ws great). I have a Toyo Avalon now. In some ways it is not the car the S70 was, BUT in so many other ways it is far better. At least it starts everytime!
Unfortunately, I already know what they'll offer. 16K on a 21/2 year old car with an original sticker of over $36K. They really hold their value.
So let's recap: The cars run like crap and they depreciate faster than a portfolio loaded with tech stocks. Oh, and I forgot, they treat theircustomers like shills by manufacturing inferior parts that need to be replaced 4X as much as NORMAL parts (I'm talking about their 13K mile/28K mile break pads/rotors).
I've owned several used cars and I've never had an experience like this. I would plunk down 30-35K on a used lexus before I buy another Volvo.
Actually, I won't be buying a Volvo EVER!!!!
I picked up the car today with the new tranny and computer module. So, I start shifting.....and you guessed it..BANG. I wasa told I was shifting too fast and that 1998 s70's have a different linkage system than newer s70s. I was told to try to duplicate the problem with another s70. I could not but the action on the console appeared to be difficult to get out of park. I was told they did everything they could.
I agreed to take the car home and drive it for a few days. Maybe it's me. I will say one thing..positive believe t or not. After driving the loaner for a month (2001 Accord) you cannot even compare the two. The volvo is a solid auto and quiet. I did miss it. Then again, maybe I'm developing an abused customer syndrome.
Anyway, that's it for now.
I left for three weeks and returned to a flat battery. I know the alarm uses power but just milliamps. Nothing else was left on except I noticed the rear fog light switch was on. I believe the lights would have to be on for it to drain power. Are Volvo bateries really that poor? Car has less than 8000 Miles. Will Volvo replace it free of charge?
Your comments please.
Yes, Volvo should replace your battery under warranty, free of charge. Mine lasted about 2 yrs - even the Volvo service people said the batteries that come with a new Volvo are not that good! Have heard of similar problems with Saabs, for example, so don't think it's limited to just Volvos...

This is the second fixture I have bought for our master bath remodel. The first one was too large. Although this one isn't significantly smaller than the original it is not as heavy to the eye. It is hung over our soaking tub and adds a feminine touch to the masculine color choices in the room. Very nice fixture, I would definitely recommend it.
I bought two of those pendants and hanged it above the kitchen island. They look great! The island is about 8 feet long, and two pendants fit perfectly there. Three would be too many since they are quite large. Would recommended to everyone who is looking for this type of quality product
We love this chandelier! I wanted a light with crystals, but I didn't want something dripping in crystals and looking as though it was found at a Donald Trump yard sale. This is perfect! It gives me the little bit of sparkle that I wanted, but the satin nickel "cage" gives it a little bit of a fun feel - a little something different and unexpected. It anchors the look of the crystals and prevents the light from being too frou-frou. The only issues I've encountered are that the instructions are completely useless - literally. I had an issue with getting the center rod to attach properly. But, it worked out just fine, in the end. The customer service dept. did attempt to help. But, they seem to have misunderstood my saying the directions were useless for not having received them at all. So, they e-mailed me a copy of the same directions . . . at least they tried. The other issue is that the "cage" is a little uneven. It doesn't affect how the light works, and the average visitor might not even notice it. But, I will admit that things like that drive me insane. If you enlarge/zoom the picture in the listing and look at the very bottom edge of the cage, you can see how it angles up just a bit to the left. I didn't notice that before and probably would have still bought the light, even if I had. I think I would have probably thought it was a fluke. It's not. But again, once I see something like that, my mind will fixate on it. LOL! But, I still absolutely love this lighting fixture and highly recommend it!
This fixture is very pretty and looks great in my foyer.
I ordered this light fixture to hang over the sink in my newly remodeled kitchen. I looking at many fixtures in the stores and online. I wanted a fixture with a little "bling" and this light fixture was just what I needed. It provides lots of light and just the right elegance without being too fancy. The price was great and shipping was fast.
Terrific, well priced chandelier. I bought two of these to hang from my high ceilings and am super pleased with how they look. You have to manually add the plastic crystal chains to the lamp but it's not a big deal. And the plastic looks like glass when it's hanging.
This Crystal Pendant Chandelier is fantastic! I had no trouble putting it together and lit within an hour. Love it!
I put two of these over my kitchen island and LOVE them. As you've seen from other ratings, the instructions are actually laughable, but if you've ever installed a light before you can figure it out.
this is a wonderful chandelier, just perfect for my kitchen. great combo of industrial/chic; and a great value. dont hesitate- this is absolutely worth it.

Denver comedian in round two of America's Got Talent
By Josiah M. Hesse
The show is made up of pieces by the four + artists whose work was chosen for New American Paintings, a juried exhibition catalogue that focuses on different parts of the country at different times. The current issue, in which the four make an appearance, is about art in the West.
The artists are William Betts of Texas, Lenka Konopasek of Utah, Denver-resident-turned-New-York-artist Karen McClanahan, and Denverite Jenny Morgan, one of the hottest young artists in the area. Juror Fereshteh Daftari, an assistant curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art, took a broad view, as is evidenced by the different styles of this quartet. Betts and McClanahan are exploring neo- and post-minimalism, respectively; Konopasek delves into neo-pop; and Morgan is involved with contemporary realism.
Morgan's had a hot year in 2005. Not only did the twenty-something painter get her efforts into New American Paintings, but she's had a work acquired by the Fine Arts Museum of Key West, and another piece is a semi-finalist in the Outwin Boochever 2006 Portraiture Competition, which is sponsored by the Smithsonian.
There was a problem with this last opportunity: The painting, originally submitted "Tail, We Chase Our Own Tail, #1," wound up being sold to a collector before the gallery was notified that Morgan was in the running. The collector was unwilling to loan the painting back, but the competition allowed Morgan to submit a new piece, "Falling Into" (above), at the last possible minute. Fortunately, that one made the cut as well.
+ Gallery was closed during the holidays -- right in the middle of this and the other shows' runs there -- so many may have missed the opportunity to check it out. But there's still time: The current attractions close on January 14.

OLYMPIA — State Sen. Janea Holmquist Newbry said she has formed a committee to explore whether to run for the congressional seat opening up in Central Washington's 4th District.
Holmquist Newbry, R-Moses Lake, said she plans to visit "with key leaders throughout the district… to assess the viability of my candidacy."
U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings announced Thursday morning that he would not seek re-election to the seat he has held for 20 years. Holmquist Newbry said shortly afterwards she had not made a decision on whether to run "at this time."
Friday she said she has formed an exploratory committee with several key advisers, including Yakima Mayor Micah Cawley. Under federal election law, a person can receive and spend money before becoming an official candidate by forming an exploratory committee.
First elected to the House in 2000, Holmquist Newbry was elected to the Senate in 2006, where she now serves as the chairwoman of the Commerce and Labor Committee. She recently removed her name from the list of senators on the website for the Majority Coalition Caucus, telling the Seattle Times she was protesting decisions by some of the more moderate members of the caucus.
The 4th is a solidly Republican district that routinely gave Hastings at least 60 percent of the vote in his re-election campaigns. Also considering the race is rancher Clint Didier, an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate and state lands commissioner, who may make an announcement on Monday.
Politico's Rachel Bade reports this morning U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, may be considering a slot as chairman of the House of Representative Oversight Committee, to be vacated by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., at the end of next year.
"Call this Boehner ally and personal friend the wild card," Bade writes, introducing the nine-term House Republican who was the last to defeat current Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in a Congressional race when he wrangled the District 4 seat from Inslee, the incumbent, in 1994.
To read the rest of this item, or to comment, continue inside the blog.
Another volley has been launched at the temporary status of the sales tax deduction on federal income tax returns. Once again, it comes from a Washington lawmaker.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, filed a bill with Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., Tuesday that would make permanent a sales tax deduction written into the federal tax code. Current law, solidified in last year's fiscal cliff deal, extends the deduction through next year only. Meanwhile, taxpayers enjoy the income tax deduction on a permanent basis.
Like others before him, including Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., who authored similar legislation across Capitol Hill in January, Hastings argued the issue is one of fairness for states that collect no income tax.
"Residents of states that do not collect income taxes, like my home state of Washington, should be allowed to continue to deduct their state sales taxes from their federal income tax obligations each year without relying on short term extensions of the law," Hastings said in a prepared statement Tuesday announcing the bill.
Five members of Washington's congressional delegation joined an effort to keep the Pentagon from delaying its selection the builder of the next air refueling tanker by asking Defense Secretary Robert Gates not to extend the timeline for making that choice.
Without mentioning either company by name, they are supporting the Boeing Co., and trying to close out rival Airbus.
Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Doc Hastings, and Democrats Jay Inslee, Adam Smith and Rick Larsen are among 16 members of the House urging Gates not to vary from the 75-day selection deadline announced in February. Their stated reasons include eight years of delay already in replacing the KC-135s, and the additional costs to taxpayers.
The KC-135, which was designed by Boeing in the 1950s and built through the early 1960s, is the backbone of the U.S. Air Force tanker fleet and the plane flown by the 92nd Air Refueling Wing and the Washington Air National Guard's 141st Air Refueling Wing, both based at Fairchild Air Force Base.
Finding a replacement for part of the KC-135 fleet started some nine years ago, and has been marked by fraud, collusion, political bickering and pandering, mistakes and missteps. Meanwhile, the 135s keep flying in two war zones and for a variety of other military missions around the globe.
The process to select a new tanker is a subject of intense interest, the members of Congress wrote, but "the need for new tankers is long overdue."
A consortium that included Northrop Grumman and EADS, the manufacturer of Airbus, beat out Boeing for an estimated $40 billion contract in early 2008. That award was thrown out a few months later after Boeing protested and the Government Accountability Office found problems with the selection process. New specifications were announced in February and Boeing notified the Air Force eight days later it would enter a new bid, again using a version of its 767 jetliner.
Four days later, Northrop Grumman said it wasn't entering the competition. In late March, however, EADS said it would submit a proposal if the deadline was extended and "there is a fair chance to win."

Family Safety Net II
Nearly 500,000 adolescents are admitted, per year, to psychiatric hospitals from emergency rooms for suicide attempts or serious suicidal ideation (Institute of Medicine, 2002), both of which lead to high emotional costs for families and financial costs for the health care system. Family-based treatments for youth suicide are promising. Negative family functioning (e.g., high conflict, low cohesion, ineffective parenting, etc.) is a strong risk factor for youth suicide and depression (Wagner et al., 2003). In contrast, family cohesion, emotional support, and appropriate supervision are protective factors in preventing suicide and depression (Wagner et al., 2003). The current study will test the efficacy of two treatments, Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) and Non-Directive Supportive Therapy with Parent Psychoeducation (NDST-P), in improving depression and suicide ideation in high-risk adolescents. Our target population is adolescents with severe and persistent suicidal ideation (a serious risk factor for suicidal behavior and hospitalization, and a condition usually requiring attention by health professional) (Spirito & Esposito-Smythers, 2006; Prinstein et al., 2008). The sample will include a significant proportion of inner city, minority youth; a group whose risk for suicide has increased dramatically (Joe et al. 2006). One hundred and twenty adolescents will be recruited from primary care, emergency rooms, schools and the general community. Patients will be randomized to 16 weeks of ABFT or NDST. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 4, 8, 12, 16, (post treatment), and every 8 weeks during the follow-up phase (weeks 24, 32, and 40) through week 52. The primary outcome measure is changes in suicide ideation. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include changes in depression, attachment relationships, and parent-child conflict resolution.

Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Hutchinson recognized for Vinimaya's innovation in compliance,
business intelligence and collaboration in procurement
CINCINNATI, Ohio – Feb. 26, 2014
– Vinimaya, Inc., the leading provider of procurement marketplace solutions and catalog management services, announced today that Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine has selected CEO John Hutchinson as an honoree for its 2014 "Pros to Know" listing.
Those honored in the 2014 "Pros to Know" awards make up the leading providers and practitioners in supply chain management. The Provider Pros to Know listing recognizes individuals from a software firm or service provider, consultancy or academia who have helped their Supply Chain clients or the Supply Chain community at large prepare to meet the significant challenges in the year ahead.
"Our annual list of Provider Pros to Know highlights the many thought-leaders who are helping to shape the supply chain industry and advance supply chain as a respected discipline in the enterprise," said Barry Hochfelder, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

Vinimaya instills flexibility and agility into supplier relationships, enhancing compliance and collaboration while providing actionable procurement intelligence."
The complete list of 2014 "Pros to Know" award winners is available on www.sdcexec.com and will be published in the March 2014 issue of the Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine.

What is orthorexia?
The term orthorexia is used by some eating-disorder specialists to describe an unhealthy fixation with healthy eating. While not an officially recognized disorder, it is similar to several serious diagnoses. Like anorexia, it often involves severe weight loss, but so-called orthorexics are obsessed with food quality, rather than quantity, and strive for personal purity in their eating habits rather than for a thin physique.
The word orthorexia was coined in 1997 by Colorado alternative medicine specialist Steven Bratman. Implicit in the description are traits that resemble obsessive-compulsive disorder, since sufferers devote excessive attention to their own strict rules and often spend hours each day worrying about tomorrow's meals. Such a person may find himself socially isolated because he doesn't indulge in everyday dishes. "If your focus on healthy eating is interfering with your happiness and social life," says Bratman, "you might have a problem."

As a ballet dancer, David Gensheimer didn't need much help becoming lean, limber, and lithe. But when he found himself recovering from knee surgery, he knew he needed to find something that would keep him strong without compromising his healing process. In addition to physical therapy, he turned to Pilates and was won over by the sport's ability to strengthen core muscles and enhance flexibility. Though he was back to pirouetting in no time, David never lost the Pilates bug and went on to complete his Pilates training while serving as a company member with Ballet Austin and Nashville Ballet and dancing with the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company and Stillpoint.
Today, when he's not busy dancing his way through guest performances around the country, David helms Simply Balanced where he helps others strengthen, rehabilitate, and challenge their bodies through Pilates and yoga classes. Students can also try Gyrotonic classes, which blend elements of gymnastics, yoga, dance, and tai chi, performed on a weight and pulley machine that engages the entire body. Beyond transforming the way visitors look, move, and feel about spandex shorts, the Simply Balanced studio also showers them with feel-good perks such as complimentary beverages, free parking, and access to a team of highly trained massage therapists.
Joined by more than their salon's name, stylists Jón and Alan have spent more than two decades refining their skills side by side. Today, the duo passes on their knowledge to the stylists on their team, teaching them the tricks of the trade as they cut, color, and add texture to hair. When they aren't watching over their stylists or juggling combs dipped in barbicide and lit on fire, they check in on the spa's technicians, who soothe their clients' skin with resurfacing facials, chemical peels, and relaxing massages.
All of the salon's custom skin and scalp treatments draw on Aveda's world-renowned arsenal of plant-based products. Guided by socially conscious principles for more than 30 years, Aveda produces a full line of natural beauty products carried at nearly 7,000 salons and spas. Popular products such as Shampure shampoo and witch-hazel hair spray deliver on Aveda's commitment to well-rounded earthly beauty with eco-friendly packaging cradling ingredients derived from the world's finest and least selfish plants.
A few wisps of smoke from an extinguished candle hang in the air, along with the lingering fragrance of aromatic oils and the soft strains of jazz or nature sounds. One of the licensed massage therapists at Mona Lisa's Massage & Wellness has completed another relaxing session, easing muscle tension and stress with modalities such as hot-stone therapy, pregnancy or sports massage, or reflexology. The center's practitioners operate in an intimate and tranquil four-room suite complete with a mani-pedi station. In the couples room, pairs enjoying a Yin + Yang massage nosh on chocolate-covered strawberries and discuss how to install electric handlebar warmers on a tandem bike.
The crew exfoliates skin with coconut-lime-scented scrubs and detoxifies bodies with wraps that include a session in the steam sauna. They also aim to clear complexions with 10 different anti-aging facial treatments and peels.
Tucked into a historic home replete with an art center and retail space filled with organic and locally produced products, Center of Symmetry?s trained wellness workers provide holistic health services. Clients range from mothers and fathers looking to relax during their free time to college students trying to relieve sore muscles after moving. The center?s licensed massage therapists work to assuage tension with a variety of massage techniques, including Swedish and reflexology?pressure applied to the hands and feet to help stimulate organs and improve health. Consultant hypnotist Barry O'Neill, the center?s onsite hypnotist, provides private hypnotherapy sessions to aid in weight loss, smoking cessation, and confidence building as well as group weight-loss seminars.
To licensed massage therapist Lewis Braswell, the ups and downs of life are like the crests and troughs of a sound wave?and through Harmonic Bodywork, he strives to create a place where his clients? minds, bodies, and spirits are perfectly in tune. To relieve clients of pain and tension, he draws on more than eight years of massage experience and knowledge of techniques ranging from reiki and energy work to sound therapy performed with tuning forks. Further evidence of his keen feel for the power of sound, Lewis went to Belmont University and earned his bachelor's degree in music, making him more qualified to be Paul McCartney than Paul McCartney. Lewis also studied acutonics at the Natural Health Institute, where he met his wife.
Though the experts at Studio Green are duly concerned with the appearance of split ends, aging skin, and unwanted hair, an even greater concern is with the effects of harsh chemicals on clients' skin, hair, and environment. That's why their 2,000-square-foot salon is solely stocked with vegan and organic hair products, including hair color that's been certified cruelty-free by PETA. The team of stylists tends to tresses more gently and ethically with formaldehyde-free serums, sugar scrubs, and gentle dyes. The aestheticians, for their part, can help clients to curate at-home beauty routines with a collection of organic serums by Éminence and Surface.

SHREVEPORT, La. (KMSS) — Catholic Charities in Shreveport is helping undocumented young immigrants apply for the federal government's deferred action for childhood arrivals program.
The law, which was put in place by the Obama Administration, allows certain people who came to the united stated as children, deferred action for a period of two years.
But before it can be granted, young immigrants must meet a list of requirements and that's when the organization steps in.
Legal services are encouraged for the process and officials from the organization say while they do not support illegal immigration; their goal is assist younger immigrants who might not know their rights.
"Not only is it going to help them, but it helps their families and that ripples out to our community, that's tax dollars going into the community," said Jean Dresley, who is the Executive Director for the program.

Recently she spoke at the NH AFL-CIO Labor Day breakfast where Congresswoman Annie Kuster laid out her agenda for rebuilding the middle class and helping all working families.
You can see her full 5 minute speech just below, but I will give you a couple of highlights.
- Raising the federal minimum wage.
- Protecting workers rights, including attacks against the National Labor Relations Board.
- Protecting collective bargaining rights.
- Fought against federal Right to Work for less legislation.
- Ensuring access to healthcare for all Americans.
- Increasing funding for schools, and community & technical colleges.
- Increasing manufacturing right here at home.
We need more people like Annie in Washington who are working to get things done, not just create more gridlock.

I am really choked up over the entire situation.
If your gonna be dumb you best be tuff. The BG was one but not the other. His past shows he had a perpencity for violence but this time was on the receiving end of it.
Drayton served about 16 years in prison after he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1992 in connection with a fatal stabbing in Colleton County in November 1991. He was released in 2008, according to the S.C. Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.

I was only holding him for the police. See, you can't always count on them arriving on time. There is a natural time lag between calling 911, dispatching and arrival at the scene. You need to prepare to handle that wait time.

I bet the homeowner is considering a gun by now! Having to do it the hard way via strangulation isn't quite the instant gratification one would prefer when it comes to home invaders.
modified and full choke work well too.
I know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots or only five?" "Is that a Smith & Wesson 686+ 7 shot or 627 8 shot?" "Does he have a concealed Sig P226 SCT and two spare mags?" You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
Kudos to the homeowner, but I certainly don't envy the mental anguish he will endure as a result of having to take someones life.
The mother in that story is a complete moron blinded by the love for her son... From the article:
"We want justice, this can't go unpunished, because they could have saved him," she said in an interview in Limon. "If this had happened in the United States, the suspect would have been detained and wouldn't have left the country."
She also acknowledged past problems. "I know my boy wasn't staying out of trouble, I knew that any moment I would get bad news."
So, she knew he was getting in trouble and she would get bad news at any moment.. but is outraged and wants justice for her son getting himself killed. Brilliant.
This "son" chose to do crime and there are always consequences to be faced each and every time we do something. Until people stop making excuses for the bad behavior of their children and really try to help them, this pattern will continue.

Bayern Munich's Swiss playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri – a target for several Premier League clubs – is set to move to Turin instead, according to German football journalist Raphael Honigstein.
Manchester City should have nothing to fear from drawing Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League, according to director of football Txiki Begiristain.
ITV will broadcast live coverage of the Champions League last 16 first leg matches involving Chelsea and Man City, and the second leg matches involving Arsenal and Real Madrid.
Arsenal have been drawn against Monaco, Chelsea will play PSG in a repeat of last year's quarter-final and Man City face Barcelona in the Champions League last 16.
The draw for the Champions League last 16 takes place in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday.
Here we look at all the clubs involved…
Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Muller said more is to come after he became the club's all-time top-scorer in the Champions League on Wednesday.

I confess I love fragrance, though only certain things and many I don't. Because I live alone and am home all day without going out I can sometimes indulge and I do. Although I don't get as ill from it as you do, many chemical scents do make me ill generally on the level of headaches, nausea and sometimes upset stomach. I moved into a rental apartment a few years ago which on the plus side had been recently renovated but on the con side had major off-gassing issues. I was sick from it for months with nausea and vertigo. I am okay with most perfumed personal products though I find many of them quite unappealing. I do understand what it is like to have a medical issue that people don't understand well and which is debilitating on a regular if not daily basis. You have my sympathies and cyber hugs which are safely unscented. If we ever meet in person I am just dying to do Jazz hands!

Good luck with the new fridge. I too drool over the pricey and thus unobtainable retro look appliances. My fridge is falling apart due to cheap plastic parts but so far runs fine and I would not really like to have to choose a replacement.

Last thing: You look amazing and the world deserves more Amber in it so it had better unscent itself. You have the most beautiful skin and arresting eyes, so they almost distract me from your fantastic style! I hope you are feeling better at this point.

I think I need to get more serious about these things myself. I've had chronic sinus issues for about 2 years and the naturopathic doc didn't really help things. I know now a lot of it is scents. I can't even walk into some stores. And like you I hate taking medication for it but when my ears are ringing and my sinus headaches are so bad I can't see I have to take a decongestant and then put up with heart flutterings.

By the way, your shoes are fabulous! Love your kitchen too. I have a tiny space to fit a fridge in my 1916 tiny craftsman and I hope it doesn't go out soon. There are only 2 models that fit there.

So nice to see you again! I took a long break from blogging and it's taking me a while to get around again.

I have always been a bit smell sensitive, huge perfume clouds have given me headaches as long as I can remember, but in recent years it has gone up and I am now able to sniff out the fakeness in most body lotions. Not all, as some are well done. And it's nowhere near your level.

For me and our home I've started to switch over to natural products and I've completely stopped using cheap scented candles, artificial essential oils and the likes. No one needs that shit.

I like to think that the reduction of problems with ekzema partly comes from those changes.

As I work from home, I have control of that part of my environment, though it has poor design in relation to airflow, so is not perfect. I'm lucky that my sensitivities, while encouraging me to avoid scents as much as possible, don't seem to be resulting in illness that I've noticed. I do have a very receptive nose though, so can often smell things others can not, and as such have been reducing chemicals in my home for many years now. We were offered some washing detergent recently, and I had to refuse the offer and place it outside as I could not stand the overwhelming scent. Where I can, I clean with bicarb soda and white vinegar, and I make my own washing detergent from less toxic ingredients. I really feel for you and all of those for whom these chemicals and fragrances are debilitating.

And yet despite it all, you always manage to look so classy and artful. Your parents really know you well, when I think of all the wonderful jewellery they have gifted you - and you always bring such a freshness to how you style the pieces in different outfits. And your shoes! And the scarf! Oh, my!

I'm sure you will find a way to make the new fridge fit your aesthetic, even if not quite as the old one did. If only all products were repairable, but some things have changed in manufacturing, and some are now made for obsolescence.

I hope that life gives you a breather and lets you begin to feel a little more fully recovered.

It must be frustrating indeed and my heart goes out to you. Your post is timely for me. Although I don't suffer any allergies I recently have been alerted to the toxicity of artificial fragrances in so many everyday products and after doing lots of research online have been making switches to my toiletries and household items accordingly. I do love scent (I was a Dewberry girl for years and then after that switched to Angel) but I have switched to products that use essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances from companies who I've written to and got confirmation that they don't use the chemicals I'm trying to avoid. But from what I read even essential oils seem to be able to cause allergic reactions for some people. For all your suffering you continue to look wonderfully fresh faced in your photos - I hope the allergic reactions settle down soon xxVeshoeviushttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441611978971205769.post-4066611143444084972014-08-17T17:25:34.869-04:002014-08-17T17:25:34.869-04:00How interesting_ I get nasty headaches and a linge...How interesting_ I get nasty headaches and a lingering taste in my mouth from such smells. Not as bad a reaction as you, thankfully. It's not too bad in our workplace, but if someone sprays perfume/deodorant/hairspray/airfreshener in the ladies loos I am quite vocal about it. No policy against it here. Lucky it is uncommon. I hold my breath and exit quickly to another loo. And I am the only female in my office, so no worries there!

I tried to explain to one of the regular perfume wearers that if she is coming in the office to please not wear any scent and she was very offended, meanwhile, I am coughing like crazy. People don't get it. I've noticed the scent in the garbage bags that was never there before.

I think your suggestions for alternative greetings are great, but I would miss not being able to hug people. Perhaps you could single-handedly bring back the curtsey?

The only scents I love are natural ones - the smell of henna on my hair, tea tree shampoo, my pine soap (even that can get strong). I hate scents in the office.

But I'll recommend the story La parfum I believe it's called. It was made into a movie something like the Scent of a Murderer. It's amazingly written story about a boy growing up with an obsession for scents.

As for scents, I do use an eau de cologne very lightly. I think perfumes are almost always too heavy, and some people really overdo it. Lotions can be worse. But I never thought about garbage bags. We always buy the cheapest, so no added scents - just your usual toxic plastics. It's horrible we have to put up with so many poisons.

We have stainless steel appliances, and I usually just use my dishrag to wipe them off. Every so often I do a polish with the chemical-infused cleaner, but not often. I would have preferred the lovely coppertone color we had in the early '70s, but no one does that anymore, do they?

Which means I couldn't give you a hug, and that gives me pause and makes me thoughtful... I also had no idea that workplaces could establish no/reduced scent policies. I am so sorry you are finding the scent-saturated world very difficult just now, Amber, I can only imagine the challenges that brings. But I am also delighted to see you, looking cool and rocking the best accessories, as always! Your winged scarf, that glorious necklace, and the amber bracelet are wonderful pieces, no to mention the shoes!

I never use soaps, detergents, and other cleaning products that contain sulfates, synthetic perfumes, etc. And that's just the beginning.

I'm happy that you were well enough to post, however, and I'm particularly enamored with the bracelet from your mom and those fab shoes. The winged scarf is also a treasure. Playing dress-up is always therapeutic. Thank you for the joy.

But enough of that, let's talk about those fabulous clothes.

We found a faux stainless steel fridge (nice and small) from Sears that has the most important property for me: the ability to hold magnets.
