Background: Since its 1944 launch by media mogul Walter Annenberg, Seventeen has been among the American teenage girl's leading fashion and beauty magazines. One of the very first publications to track trends among the 12- to 19-year-old female demographic, the outlet has consistently translated that data into practical advice that attracts loyal readers and happy advertisers. From 1954 to 1970, publisher and editor Enid Haupt (Annenberg's sister) kept the publication current by catering to the droves of young women who were getting married straight out of high school. Haupt's column "Young Living" offered tips on meeting potential mates (Wife-wannabes could visit art museums and try the line, "What's chiaroscuro?"), hosting successful parties and efficiently managing a household. ...

[346] Diagnosis of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma by Urinary Cytology: Evaluation of Its Efficacy and Limitations
Longwen Chen, Huiying He, Cristina Magi-Galluzzi, Ming Zhou. Mayo Clinic Arizona, Scottsdale, AZ; Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; New York University, New York, NY
Background: Primary upper urinary tract (UT) urothelial carcinoma (UC) is rare. Upper tract washing cytology is often used during UT surveillance. The diagnosis of UTUC with urinary cytology is often challenging. Reports regarding the efficacy of UT cytology are limited. We herein study the value of UT cytology in detecting UTUC in a large cohort.
Design: One hundred UT cytologic specimens were retrieved from our database during a ten-year period (2001-2011). For each patient, the cytology specimen with the highest degree of abnormality was selected. The histologic sections of these cases were also studied.
Results: Sixty-seven washings were obtained from ureter and 33 were from renal pelvis. 76 cases had histologic follow-up either by serial ureterorenoscopic biopsies or nephroureterectomy. Among them, the cytologic diagnosis of positive or suspicious for high-grade UC was made in 15 cases; suspicious for low-grade UC in 3 cases; atypical urothelial cells in 19 cases; and negative in 39 cases. Of the 15 washings with diagnosis of positive or suspicious for high-grade UC, 10 had histologically confirmed high-grade UC, 1 had low-grade UC on histology, and 4 had benign histology. All 3 cases of cytologically suspicious for low-grade UC had low grade UC on concomitant histology. Among the 19 washings with atypical urothelial cells, 7 were low-grade UC, 1 was high-grade UC; and 11 were benign on histology. Six of 39 cases with negative cytology had UC (3 low-grade and 3 high-grade) on histology. Combining positive and suspicious for UC diagnoses, sensitivity and specificity for detecting high-grade UC were 71.4% and 91.9%, while for low-grade UC were 21.4% and 100%, respectively.
Conclusions: UT washing cytology has high specificity for detecting high-grade UC. However, sensitivity for detecting UC is low, especially for low-grade UC. Practical value of UT washing cytology needs to be further evaluated in future studies.

IPhone Revolver Holder: Put a Gun to Your Head Every Time the Phone Rings
Assuming you don't have to pass through airport security, this iPhone carrying case that looks like a gun will definitely draw attention whenever you whip it out to make a call.
Created using 3D object printing technology on a MakerBot, DIY-er Junior Tan created this bit of awesome for all of us to enjoy.
Happily, the iPhone revolver doesn't fire bullets, or taking each call would be like a game of Russian Roulette.
The best part about the iPhone revolver? Assuming you have a Makerbot of your own, you can download the digital 3D model at Thingiverse and print one out for yourself.

Sunday morning as I showered and washed my hair, large chunks of the hair fell out, and some loose gobs got stuck in the hair that was still attached to my head, creating gigantic snarls. My hair had been falling out for several days, and I had been expecting the Big Follicle Flop, but people kept saying that maybe this type of chemotherapy for breast cancer would just make the hair get thin. Why do I listen to such optimism?
Morgan, Dan, Peyton, and Andie came over for Sunday brunch, and after we ate, I asked Morgan if she would shave my head.
You still have hair! John said. I bent over so he could see the rather inventive comb over that didnt quite hide my bald spots, and he said, Oh. I see.
So I went to get the clippers, towel, and newspapers to spread around the kitchen floor, and Morgan went to get the little girls. I wanted them to be a part of the head shaving, so they wouldnt be shocked to see me bald after they had just seen me with hair. (Hardly shocked, as you can see at right. Peyton is yielding the clippers as Andie watches.) They thought it was great fun to see my hair fall all around me, and Peyton teased me, saying that I looked like a boy wearing earrings. Then she lit on the hilarious joke of calling me Grandpa instead of Grandma. Ten minutes later, you would have thought that I had never had hair, and they just accepted the new me.
Morgan went up to the closet where I keep the kids dress-up clothes and found the old wig I had worn went I lost my hair to chemo fifteen years ago. If Im going to wear a wig, its not going to be that one. Its blonde, short, and comes to a point at the top.
My friend Enid went with me to Mayo a few weeks ago, and during a lull in between appointments, we went to look at wigs, in case. Apparently wigs dont come in the red hair color I have (er, had), because the woman brought out a blonde wig for me to try on.
She doesnt have blonde hair, said Enid.
Yes she does, said the woman. There was another wig, with a brunette base and red highlights at the ends. Somehow it didnt do the trick. We left. Meanwhile, my sister knitted me two caps and I am using them to keep my head warm.
My sister and I were bemoaning our hair troubles. When you grow up with a thick head of curly red, red hair, you tend to get cocky. You dont have to fuss with your hair in the morning. Its wash and wear. You dont need rollers, curling irons, products to make your hair thicker or curlier or shinier. You take it for granted that youll always have wonderful hair in a color that no one else has.
Then you start to age. You find gray in your hair. You notice the color isnt as vibrant. You wash your hair and you have to fiddle with it to get it to do what it always did on its own. And the unfortunate thing is that when all the other girls were learning how to do stuff to their hair, you werent paying attention, so now you are at a distinct disadvantage. In fact, your hair sometimes looks dumb. Sometimes you have it dyed and you look like a stop sign. Sometimes you look like cinnamon toast. Every hairdresser has a different idea of what red hair looks like, and the hair color companies dont make the color you used to have naturally.
Oh, well. But now Im bald, and I get to start all over. Last time, when my hair started to grow in, it looked like cellophane noodles thin and transparent. I was horrified. Then gradually, some color returned, but not enough for me to unfriend Carolyn, my colorist.
Im hoping that in six months or so Ill have enough hair to require a comb. But for now, when you see me, please dont say, Arent you hot in that hat? Because Im not. And if my eyebrows fall out, dont say, You look surprised! Because I wont be surprised, Ill just not know how to paint on fake eyebrows. And I know they say that the longer people live together the more they tend to resemble each other, but please dont say, Oh, for a minute I thought you were John!

Within 30 miles of Murfreesboro, TN.About Our Rescue Group:
Almost Home Animal Rescue, founded in 2004, has quickly grown into one of the areas most respected rescue organizations. Located in Middle Tennessee, Almost Home utilizes a network of foster homes to nurture and prepare our rescues for their transition into permanent homes. A dedicated group of approximately 30 volunteers and fosters has allowed us to achieve our current success, and we depend on the kindness of people like you to continue to expand our reach into the community.*************************************************************************************************************************************************
We can ALWAYS use more foster homes. Simply put, more foster homes means MORE SAVED LIVES. We provide all veterinary care and preventatives; we ask that our fosters provide food and water, and LOTS OF LOVE. We also need volunteers for our monthly adoption events. Please email if you can help!
Please understand that Almost Home is a strictly VOLUNTEER organization. This means your emails might not be answered the same day you send them. PLEASE do not request that we call you urgently. We have jobs, family responsibilities, and many many animals to care for. We receive approximately 100 emails per day and simply do not have to speak by phone in the initial stages. We would be happy to answer your questions via email, send you an application, and explain the process. Once your application has been preliminarily approved, we will contact you to set up visitation and also to conduct the required home visit. Sorry if we are not able to respond as quickly as you might hope, but in many cases we are working well into the night just to care for the animals, and their needs come first.
Come Meet our Pets:
Please visit our webpage, www.almosthomerutherford.com/eventsOur Adoption Process:
We are not a shelter. We are a group of VOLUNTEERS who take pets in need into our homes until they find their "forever home." Therefore, we do not have regular hours for people to visit. We ask that you send us an email inquiry regarding the pet/pets in which you are interested, and we will be happy to arrange a visit once an application has been filled out and passed a preliminary approval. A home visit and veterinary reference are also required as part of the application process.We require a fenced yard for nearly all our adoptions. Occasional, RARE exceptions are made (for our occasional tiny/toy/mini dogs), but they are the exception. Please, respect our decisions regarding the needs of our pets. We have spent time with them in our home environment and make our decisions based on the needs of EACH specific animal. Some are unsuitable for children (usually due to high energy levels, NOT aggression), some are better with the companion of another dog, others would prefer to be an "only child." Don't feel that we are judging your suitability as a pet owner if we reject your application for a specific dog. We are merely trying to place dogs in the environment in which we feel they will have the BEST chance of success.
PLEASE NOTE: We adopt pets in the LOCAL AREA ONLY (within approx 30 miles of Murfreesboro). We require a home visit as part of the adoption process, and we are simply not able to travel great distances to complete these visits. Please respect our policy, and do not ask to be the exception. We strongly encourage those outside our adoption area to visit their local Animal Control/Humane Society; there are ALWAYS great pets in need at these facilities.
Our adoption fees vary. Please feel free to inquire regarding fees for a specific pet. ALL our adoptable dogs are up to date on required vaccinations (parvo/distemper, bordatella, and rabies), have been dewormed, are heartworm NEGATIVE at the time of adoption, and are on flea and tick preventative (Frontline Plus) and heartworm preventative (Heartgard Plus). All previously heartworm positive dogs will be disclosed as such. All pets are also SPAYED and/or NEUTERED prior to adoption with the exception of puppies deemed not old enough for surgery. In those cases, a spay/neuter deposit is required AND we require the pet be returned to our veterinarians for the required surgery (included in the adoption fee). Please do NOT ask to adopt an unaltered animal for breeding purposes. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is this acceptable!

Dairy producers joined farmers and workers in protesting the government's austerity measures.
By Drazen Remikovic for Southeast European Times in Zagreb -- 01/11/12
The Croatian government is facing a wave of anti-austerity protests. [AFP] |
The Croatian government is expected to present a "milk package" -- a key document in accordance with EU dairy rules -- to set producer-processor relations, including the price.
The package will be drafted in hopes of appeasing the hundreds of dairy farmers in the country who said they need the purchase price of milk to be increased to 0.52 euros per litre, from the current 0.3 euro per litre, in order to make a profit.
Dairy producers took to the streets last week, suspending milk deliveries, to protest low purchasing prices for milk amid government efforts to address the issue as well as other anti-austerity demands.
"We have urged the milk producers not to suspend milk deliveries because they may harm themselves and the dairy industry, and further exacerbate the already difficult situation in this sector," Miroslav Kuskunovic, spokesman of the Ministry of Agriculture, told SETimes.
At present, the government subsidises 0.12 euro per litre of milk.
"Hundreds of farms lock their doors because of the miserable milk price. Buyers have announced that they will increase the purchase price to 15 cents, a 1-cent increase. Can the picture be clearer than that?" Igor Resetar, president of the Croatian Association of Milk Producers, told SETimes.
About 2,220 farms closed in Croatia last year, and 963 have closed in the first eight months of this year.
Resetar said the producers cannot take the daily reductions in price and will not give up their demands; they will spill the milk or give it to citizens for free rather than deliver it to purchasers.
Protests about the purchasing price of milk are the latest evidence of the public discontent facing the social democrat-led government over austerity and unemployment.
By cancelling all public-sector collective agreements in mid-September, the government paved the way for cuts in employees' wages and benefits -- a move they said saved 440 million euros.
On October 13th, more than 7,000 teachers and medical personnel marched through Zagreb in the first major protest against the government's austerity drive.
Ruza Ljubojevic, 48, a teacher in Osijek, told SETimes teachers find the financial situation unbearable.
"An average salary in the school system is about 600 euros [a month] and the government is planning to save 80 euros on each payment. That's a lot of money for us. The government said it would not save on social categories of people, but tricked us," Ljubojevic said.
"What is next, abolishing our pensions so they can save?" he added.
Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said that he was sorry it came to decreasing school employees' earnings. "The necessity of cutting teachers' salaries was one of the worst things, but it had to be done," he said.
The first effects of austerity measures hit on March 1st when the government increased the VAT rate by 2 percent, to 25 percent.
Even with public sector cuts and layoffs, Croatia's state budget for 2012 is 14.6 billion euros, and expenditures amount to 15.5 billion euros.
Fitch Ratings affirmed Croatia's BBB-credit rating, the lowest investment grade, and gave it a negative outlook because of its budget deficit.

tax debate heats-up Debate of the 2002-2003 Budget was given the main spots on the news pages for much of the week that was. Audley Shaw, Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Roger Clarke, Minister of Agriculture, Derrick Smith, Opposition Spokesman on National Security and Edward Seaga, Leader of the Opposition all made their contributions to the debate. One important highlight of Mr. Shaw's contribution concerns adjustments to be made to the property taxes. Mr. Shaw said that there could be increases as high as 10,000 per cent for property owners. For example property taxes of $80 a year could rocket to $8,700 a year when the Government makes the adjustments. I have not heard any rational denial of these claims by Mr. Shaw although The Gleaner reported that Government members of the House interrupted him as he made the announcement, accusing him of misleading the public. Several attempts at continuing his speech were met with what is characteristic of important debates like these be they Parliamentary or at Parish Council level - verbal mobbing of the person on his/her feet at the time. The Gleaner said that Mr. Shaw relented. But what would have been more instructive would have been for the Government members of Parliament to allow him to complete his presentation on that issue and then they make their rebuttal. There are various platforms from which they can do so before the Finance Minister wraps up the debate, if they see the need to immediately repair any damage that Mr. Shaw might have done to the fragile temperament of the Jamaican voter. But their action in Parliament has left uppermost in people's minds, these figures that could be introduced: from $43,230 to $101,450 a year for commercial property in New Kingston; from $170 a year to $3,700 a year for residential property in Duhaney Park; from $110 to $11,700 annually for residential property in St. Elizabeth, etc. Tax adjustments cannot be as high as that - people will not be able to afford it - the retired home owner for example, whose pensions are already meagre. The package of the pensioner includes the smallest of fortnightly sums, given under the National Insurance Act of 1965. For the Government pensioners in particular, their allowances will certainly prevent them from meeting those tax obligations, they will not be able to pay the fines and penalties to be imposed as a result. So the next thing that will happen is that they will be hauled before some court and probably thrown in debtors' jail - the same place they keep convicted gunmen and other criminals. We would have been digging early graves for many. The same kind of reasoning can be applied to many commercial property owners because many of them are small business people for whom the current market environment is already hostile. Many will be forced out of business if the proposed taxes become effective. However, none of the above arguments should be taken to mean a failure to recognise the need to adjust the levels of property taxes being paid now. Many of these current rates are based on property valuation of up to 10 years ago and though the real estate market has been soft for some time now, values of properties have not remained stagnant. For example, some Portmore houses valued at $400,000 in 1993 now value $2 million. But does that mean that the owners can afford to pay rates of in excess of even $2,000 a year? According to the figures released by Mr. Shaw, in some cases residential property tax will be $3,700 based on a valuation of $600,000 it means then that that Portmore resident with his $2 million house could find himself paying $12,333 a year for the property. We all accept that the current rates of $80 and $170 a year are ridiculous and that people say it costs them more than the $170 to travel to the tax office to pay the $170. Furthermore, the Government had already indicated that these taxes would have been increased. But the Government
needs to assure the public that Mr. Shaw is very wrong about those proposed
tax rates.

This Phat Farm Jeans: How To Wash Them guide will make sure you keep your jeans in "like new" condition. Have you just purchased a pair of Phat Farm jeans and are wondering how to wash them? Proper laundry care for your new or semi-new designer jeans is quite simple. These steps will help to avoid shrinking, laundry mistakes and fading. Make sure to launder your jeans with other pieces of the same fabric, except for first time wash of dark colored clothing. Any new item should be washed separately or with items with the same colored dye to avoid dye leaking onto other fabric.
Your best "how to wash jeans" tool is a simple stain stick. Always keep laundry stain sticks on hand to rub over a stain as soon as you get anything on your Phat Farm jeans or other clothing. Try to avoid smearing the stain in and making the stain larger or worse. If you do get a stain on your jeans the best advice on how to wash them is to wash them as soon as possible and while the stain is still wet if you can. If you get mud on your jeans allow the mud to dry completely. Remove as much dry dirt as possible before laundering your Phat Farm jeans. The best detergent to wash all fabrics is to purchase a liquid, color stay laundry detergent.
Washing Jeans
- Make sure to empty all pockets before washing item.This is the most important tip on how to wash any item. Forgotten pens, etc. can be a disaster.
- Pretreat your Phat Farm jeans as needed using cold water to moisten the fabric then apply the pretreater over the affected area. Allow a few minutes to be absorbed into the fabric before putting in the wash.
- Turn your jeans inside out to avoid color fading.
- Using cold water on a normal or extended setting is how to wash denim fabric best. Warmer settings will allow for fading of color.
- Hanging jeans to dry will prevent shrinking so you may want to add a liquid fabric softener during the rinse cycle or use a 3 in 1 laundry sheet to your wash.
- Hang jeans or dry on a low setting to prevent shrinking.
- To brighten the color on worn jeans or for added stain removal power try adding a bit of baking soda to the wash.
- Jeans can be ironed if needed or desired. Make sure to use proper settings on your iron.
- Hang jeans when not in use instead of folding. Buy skirt hangers and hang from the waist band.

Where and when should I shop instead of Bluestone?
posted by: pbl_ge on 07.25.2013 at 06:52 pm in Perennials Forum Hi All!
Bluestone has been my go-to perennials source for a long time, but I really don't like their new practices. There are good nurseries around me, but they're very expensive! I'm looking for suggestions for new places, and particularly new places with sales as good as Bluestone's used to be. If someone good were to be having a sale this fall, I would be very excited about that, too! Thanks! NOTES: <none>

RE: Where and when should I shop instead of Bluestone? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: funnthsun on 07.25.2013 at 09:15 pm in Perennials Forum I was actually going to suggest Santa Rosa as well. Got some great plants from them this year dirt cheap. Some of them are even as low as $1.99. You totally cannot beat that! My other go to's are Lazy S farms and Avant gardens. Hope that helps!

RE: Landscape front of house (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: nhbabs on 07.08.2013 at 10:16 am in Landscape Design Forum It looks to me like you are planning to plant a bit close to the house and that the plants currently there are somewhat close (and the variegated dogwood is too large for its spot.) In order to prevent future maintenance issues, figure out the future width of your plants, divide by 2, and then add 3 feet to that to figure out how far from the house to plant. That will give you room between the shrubs and the house to clean, repaint trim, replace windows, etc. You might need to widen your bed some more in order to do that. Also, be sure that you can comfortably run your lawnmower along the curves in your bed.
I guess I am not sure what your question is. It seems like you have chosen your shrubs and their approximate location. Do you want perennials or groundcover? NOTES: <none>

The Pedro Lourenco Pre-Fall 2012 lookbook is full of reflections. The backdrop acts as a mirror as does the floor. Even the oversized sunglasses that the model wears reflects her surroundings in an exaggerated manner. As though shot in a hall of mirrors, which is a traditional carnival attraction, there is an eerie and surreal aesthetic that adds a whimsical quality to the fashion designs.
There is a lot going on in the Pedro Lourenco Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The use of a bright white backdrop allows the many details in each fashion design to stand out. From fun fringe to pastel gradients, the collection is both edgy and elegant. What really steals the show, however, is the use of scenic landscape graphics.

NES30 Bluetooth Gamepad: U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A… X, Y?
A company called 8Bitdo is selling a gamepad that looks just like the NES controller, except it has additional buttons and can connect to desktop computers and mobile devices via Bluetooth or USB.
The NES30 appears to be a reskin of 8Bitdo's FC30 gamepad, which – you guessed it – looks like the Famicom controller. Both controllers work with iOS7 games that support gamepads and can apparently be used with the Wii as well. Its battery should last up to 20 hours per charge. The NES30 comes in a box that looks like the NES itself, along with a phone stand and a keyring.
Here's a demo of the controller:
You can order the NES30 from 8Bitdo's eBay store for $40 (USD). Assuming the controller works well, that should make it one of the cheapest iOS7-compatible controllers you can get.

Rossie Nail Tech Salon's friendly team of technicians beautifies hair, hands, and feet with well-honed techniques and a specialty line of nail and hair products at a new location. Once nails are filed and freed from scraggly cuticles, daubs of traditional or Shellac polishes coat digits in vibrant, long-lasting color. Natural nails longing for length turn to acrylics, whose sturdy square or rounded edges adorn hands with white french tips, tiny inset jewels, and other embellishments. Each staffer calls on an arsenal of professional-grade tools, which are sterilized using the same autoclave technology used on medical instruments to ensure equipment is spic, span, and up to date on Doogie Howser, M.D. plotlines. On their way out the door, clients can pick up a bottle of Rossie Nail Tech Salon's specialty line of hardening topcoats, which are imbued with ingredients such as garlic oil and collagen, or grab bottles of shampoo and conditioner formulated to nurture hair before and after keratin treatments.
Guided by aesthetic intuition, the technicians at Touch of Life Med Spa use scientifically refined procedures to improve their clients' skin texture and tone. A Candela laser system bombards dermal blemishes with controlled pulses of laser light energy, helping to hide the appearance of stubble, spider veins, or acne scars. Additionally, the center's chemical peels and facials can leave countenances looking as youthful and as hydrated as an ice sculpture of Dorian Gray.
The squadron of aestheticians at Secrets Spa lavishes bodies with advanced skin-care treatments, organic scrubs and mani-pedis, and professional make-up application against the alluring backdrop of Arabian decor. Faces bloom when bathed in one of more than 20 facials at the spa, and the staff turns their carefully trained machines on the body with ultrasonic and endermologic body contouring treatments. Secrets Spa uses only fruit that has left the tree willingly in their healthy teas that refuel bodies after a massage therapist squeezes all of the toxins out of frames during a relaxing kneadfest.
We spoke with Jack Macaluso?Regional Social Media and Web Coordinator at Beauty Schools of America?about how the academies prepare students for careers in the real world and why it's important for the schools to give back to their communities.
On the schools' mission
Above all else, Jack says that the schools "try to focus and harness the students' creativity," while giving them all of the experience and practical skills they need not simply to be prepared to enter the work force, but to succeed and thrive. The relatively lengthy training programs ensure that aspiring stylists, cosmetologists, makeup artists, barbers, and massage therapists fully understand the intricacies of their chosen specialty, as well as what they need to do to continue advancing their future career according to Jack.
On the role of the instructors
With a roster of instructors that includes industry professionals with international spa and salon experience, Beauty Schools of America strives to give attendees a broad view of the numerous options open to them. Jack is also clear that the teachers' guidance isn't limited to classroom environments. When the advanced-level students are allowed hone their talents by performing treatments for actual clients, "an instructor or two will always be there to assist and answer questions," he says.
On the products that the students use during treatments
Students use brand name products like Moroccanoil, Sojourn, Nioxin, and others. Working alongside their instructors at modern service stations, these stylists use these products to craft en vogue cuts, color, styling and therapeutic practices.
On the schools' charitable involvement
Beauty Schools of America embraces opportunities to give back to its communities while providing real-world experience for students at the same time. Jack goes on to describe events where the schools' aspiring barbers and cosmetologists performed complimentary services for underprivileged residents, and he mentions one specific occasion when massage students provided free treatments for community members who participated in a bike ride dedicated to raising awareness about multiple sclerosis.
An all-star team of hairstylists, aestheticians, and nail technicians reinvents beauty inside the hip and colorful Exquisite Salon & Spa. Here, red and green walls alternate with touches of sandy taupe, and big, metal storage cabinets double as mirrors. Hairstylists take their positions behind modular, black styling chairs situated right beside the space's collection of floor-to-ceiling windows, the perfect spot for sunlight to illuminate freshly cut and colored tresses. In the nail corner, clients can sink into cushy, high-backed chairs as technicians work diligently to shape fingers and toes into uniform parabolas, all while sloughing dry skin from the hands and feet. Aestheticians, meanwhile, swathe skin with warm wax in an effort to remove unwanted fuzz or to create the world's most lifelike wax figure.
Unless you live with a manicurist, a stylist, and a makeup artist, it's hard to get pampered at home. That's where My Dream Hair and Nails Salon Spa comes in. The beauty hotspot treats each client to the comforts of home, such as glasses of wine, coffee, and access to free WiFi. The aestheticians then enhances each client's look with a slew of services. Patrons can tame frizzy hair with Keratin straightening treatments, add sun-kissed hues to hair with highlights, and hydrate parched strands with deep-conditioning formulas. They can also get a full set of acrylic nails, shape brows with an eyebrow wax, and draw attention to eyes with eyelash extensions.

THE PAIR ADMIT TRYING THESE CASES AROUND THE SAME TIME COULD GET EXPENSIVE -- PUTTING A STRAIN ON THE OFFICE'S BUDGET. BUT THERE'S ANOTHER TOLL TOO. (beadle: the gravity of these cases -- the stress -- that you can't even imagine that we're asking our people to do -- the weighty decisions we're asking them to make every single day is a lot.)

The vineyards are hosting an Open House with holiday and wine specials today, Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m.
The evening hours will be especially festive as the town of Winters turns out for its annual holiday tree lighting, according to a news release. Berryessa Gap will have live music by Caroline Hines between 6 and 8 p.m. and light refreshments throughout the day.
Initially opened to the public in September 2004, the Berryessa Gap tasting room was a small quaint storefront in a former meat market. The tasting room was initially opened Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 8 p.m. and locals managed to buy out the first two commercial releases of Berryessa Gap wines from the shop. As the wine industry has grown in and around Winters, the tasting room added hours and days and is currently opened Thursday through Monday.
With growing crowds visiting Winters and the Berryessa Gap tasting room the call came to increase the space available for patrons to use to taste wines and learn about the winery. The newly remodeled tasting room has nearly doubled the space available for tasting and has a lounge area added as well.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

This is a hard email to write, but it must be done. Today is my last day
at STRATFOR, I am leaving to attend law school in the fall and I have
decided to take some time off to relax, to travel and to get things in
order before I start. I want to thank everyone here for making STRATFOR a
great place to work. I have been here for three years (with some of you
for longer) and I have enjoyed it the whole time -- this is not an easy
place to work, and no one could ever say it is boring. It is stressful
and demanding, but it has shown me that I have the ability to do many
different things (sometimes all at the same time!) and that is something
that I know is useful to succeed in life and something I can use
in different fields and disciplines.
I think the people who work here make STRATFOR what it is and that is what
I will miss the most. I would sincerely like to keep in touch with you
all and my contact information is below. I will be staying in the
Washington D.C. area, so if any of you Austin folks are up here, I expect
to get an invitation to happy hour! As for the D.C. folks, I will not let
you forget I am around and I want to thank you all for making this office
a fun place to work -- no matter what the Austin folks say!
I wish STRATFOR the best and I look forward to hearing more and more about
the company and its successes (especially the new Supply Chain work, which
I think will be instrumental into promoting STRATFOR as a premier
intelligence company for businesses). That is, unless I hear people
talking about that Fred Burton and his comments about "rag heads" on
network television, then I may have to keep my connection to STRATFOR a
secret, especially if they then say he also launched in to a disparaging
discussion of "liberal dems." :-)
So, again, thank you all for making this an exciting, frustrating,
engaging and most of all memorable place to work. It is an experience and
a group of people I will never forget.
