National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, April 12-18, was established by the United States Congress in 1991 to recognize the dedicated professionals who link the public to emergency services.
The Kentucky State Police-Post 5 is taking this opportunity to create public awareness of the important services delivered 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year by our emergency communications personnel.
For as long as I can remember, we've had a dog in our home.
Hobo, a small, fluffy mixed breed dog, is the first dog I can remember in my life. We lived in Campbellsburg across the old wooden bridge, and Hobo would walk to town with us to the store for a soda during the summer.

By Paul Hornback, State Senator
Historical, life-saving legislation was approved by the Kentucky General Assembly during the final hours of the 2015 Session. Senate Bill 192, a comprehensive approach to stymie the scourge of heroin addiction in Kentucky, reached final passage after countless hours of bipartisan work throughout the session. In fact, this is the third year the Senate has led the charge on an anti-heroin bill. SB 192 was signed into law Wednesday morning by Gov. Beshear and is now in effect due to an emergency clause.
Had anybody looked through my windshield while sitting in the public parking lot behind the Henry County Local for about 10 minutes after my arrival at work last Thursday, they would have seen me perplexed and stunned.
I heard then for the first time over the radio how truly terrible the Germanwings plane crash in Europe that killed 150 people is. The horror goes beyond the death toll to disbelief about human behavior.
It's a very awkward time of year for someone who is not a huge college basketball fan.
Someone like me.
I am not staying up late watching the games. I am not trolling facebook looking for extra tickets to games. No, I did not watch the game last night. I am not sweating my bracket.

Second British iPhone ad banned from TV
updated 09:35 am EST, Wed November 26, 2008
UK iPhone ad no. 2 banned
A second TV ad for the iPhone has been banned from British TV, the region's Advertising Standards Authority has announced. The ASA says it received 17 complaints about the ad, which depicts a person switching from the Times Online website to Google Maps, and finally the phone's Mail client. The problem with the ad is said to be the speed depicted for the phone's 3G connection, which the ad claims is "really fast," but which the ASA says is shown as completing actions in "a fraction of a second."
Apple defends the ad as making statements "relative rather than absolute in nature," which were just a "comparison of the new 3G iPhone with its 2G predecessor." Viewers of the ad are also said to have been experienced cellphone users, who would know that connection speeds can vary based on location and other criteria. The ASA suggests, however, that the majority of TV viewers were unlikely to be aware of the differences between 2G and 3G, and that an "explicit indication" of comparison between the 3G and 2G iPhones was being made.
Apple was previously chastised by the ASA for an ad touting the iPhone's Safari browser, with the promise that it could offer "all the parts of the Internet." While the browser is capable of more advanced rendering than many of its rivals, the ASA observed that because it lacks Flash or Java support, many sites are inaccessible as they are meant to be seen.

LAKE GEORGE - State officials confirmed Tuesday that the state Comptroller's office is investigating alleged wrongdoing by Lake George town officials and the finances of the government.
"I can confirm that investigation is going on concerning the conduct of the town officials and the finances of the town," said Mark Johnson, spokesman for the state Comptroller's Office. "The investigation is ongoing now, but I cannot get into any details at this point."
Johnson said that investigators have been poring over documents and records at the town, as well as interviewing government officials and private citizens.
He said the investigators and auditors have been on site in town offices since mid-October, and there was personnel from both the comptroller's New York City and Albany offices conducting the investigation.
Tuesday, efforts to reach Lake George Supervisor Louis Tessier were unsuccessful.
Deputy Town Supervisor Vincent Crocitto said he had not been interviewed, but the Comptroller's Office investigators weren't likely to find anything anyway.
"There's absolutely nothing to this -The officials of the town always have and will have the best interests of the community at heart," he said.
The Lake George Mirror, which broke the story Oct. 29, reported that Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky said he was asked by a state investigator whether he knew of any instances of favoritism in the granting of variances or permits by the town's Zoning or Planning boards.
A prominent local businessman, the Mirror reported, was asked whether developers were given gravel at no charge from the town's gravel pit and whether town employees worked on private roads and driveways.
A source close to Lake George government said he'd heard that the Comptroller's Office had received a list of accusations, perhaps from a disgruntled employee of the town.
Lake George Town Councilman Frank McCoy said Tuesday he had not been interviewed, and that he was suspicious the allegations were politically motivated.

Rookies Ellis, Tiu steal show
DIGOS, Davao del Sur—Chris Ellis, Barangay Ginebra's creative high-flyer, won the PBA All-Star Week's Slam Dunk title as expected—but worked hard to pull it off last night.
Ellis came up with some spectacular dunks and clinched it with an impersonation of Vince Carter's 2000 throwdown with the entire forearm inside the rim without pressure after Ginebra teammate and final-round leader Elmer Espiritu failed to convert on his second try.
"This one's dedicated to (former PBA star) Samboy Lim," Ellis told the panel of judges, moments before he drilled a rock-a-bye baby dunk coming from the right side of the rim that netted him the first of two perfect 50 scores in the eliminations at the packed Davao del Sur Coliseum here.
Ellis, who later bounced the ball off the backboard for his second try, catching it in mid-air before flushing it down after a windmill, became the second rookie to triumph in this year's side events.
Rain or Shine freshman Chris Tiu ruled the Three-Point Shootout, tying the all-time mark of 21 points in the Finals after knocking down all but one of five money balls. He fended off KG Canaleta of Air21 (18) and JV Casio of Alaska (13).
Sharing the limelight with the two upcoming stars was Jonas Villanueva of Barako Bull, who clocked 26.3 seconds in a perfect run to rule the Obstacle Challenge over Ellis (28.1) and Pamboy Raymundo of Talk 'N Text (30.3).
Ellis, incidentally, became just the fifth rookie to win the Slam Dunk after Vergel Meneses in 1992, Joey Mente in 2001, Brandon Cablay in 2003 and Gabe Norwood of Rain or Shine four years ago.
Tiu followed Jasper Ocampo, who won in 1998, and Jimmy Alapag of Talk 'N Text in 2003, as rookies to win the Three-Point Shootout.
Villanueva's time in the Obstacle Challenge was also the second fastest in the event's history after Willie Miller's 25.5 seconds in 2008 in Bacolod. Miller's record of winning different side events —he was also a Three-Point champion—was preserved when Tiu defeated Canaleta, the former five-time Slam Dunk King.
Espiritu scored 45 points in his first try in the final round while Ellis needed four tries to complete his first attempt for 44 points.
The centerpiece event of this year's classic happens tomorrow when Gilas-Pilipinas battles a PBA All-Star Selection at 6 p.m.

A Sri Lankan court on Monday remanded till August 31 11 police officers and personnel in a case involving alleged abduction and torture of an Information Technology student at gunpoint on August 4 over a dispute with the son of a senior police officer.
A spate of such cases involving a section of the police in the last few weeks has triggered uproar and sparked the debate among the civil society on the "prevailing culture of impunity". Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake told Parliament on Tuesday, when the issue was raised by some members, that the good work done by the police
during the campaign to crush terrorism had been tarnished as a result of the IT student incident and the Angulana shooting.
Mr. Wickremanayake also assured Parliament the government had no intention whatsoever of protecting those responsible for these crimes.
On August 14, residents of a Colombo suburb stormed a police station and blocked trains to protest the killing of two young men. Local media reported the young men had "teased" the girlfriend of the police officer in charge of the station.
The bodies of the two victims were found the next day after police arrested them.
After the military defeat of the LTTE, the government declared war on the underworld. According to police a number of underworld operators have been killed in recent days.
The Singapore-based Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) in a recent statement said, "It is now a norm in Sri Lanka for arrested suspects to be killed while they are 'trying to escape' or 'retrieving a hidden weapon'. Since most of the victims, hitherto, were known criminals, this practice has been tolerated by the media and the public. Such reaction is understandable in a society plagued increasingly by violent crimes. Unfortunately, this modus operandi not only amounts to using criminal methods to control criminality; it also gives the rulers a carte blanche to violate the basic rights of any citizen, deemed or depicted as a criminal. This is a path which leads not to the restoration of law and order but to the replacement of one sort of criminality for another."
When the IT student case came up for hearing on Monday, the Kaduwela Magistrate asked the DIG of the Crimes and Organised Crimes Unit why Senior Superintendent of Police Vaas Gunawardena, whose son is at the centre of controversy, was not arrested despite his involvement being revealed on the alleged abduction and assault of the IT student.
The court was told that as per investigations conducted so far there were constant disagreements between the victim Nipuna and Ravindu, son of the SSP. On the day of the incident around 12.15 PM, the victim after sitting for an examination paper at the Institute had gone for lunch to a hotel with a friend.
At the hotel he had met Ravindu and both of them got into an argument.
According to the victim's friend when they approached the main road, Nipuna had been abducted and pushed into a jeep by police personnel carrying pistols.
It was also submitted that on the way Ravindu had given a call to an unidentified person and told "Mother keep the door open, I am bringing you a gift." A few hours later the victim was dropped off in the city.
At that time the victim claimed to have seen the SSP seated in the front seat of the jeep. The SSP told the victim that the incident was due to a mistake on their part. Thereafter the victim was asked to sign the statement which purportedly said he had links with the underworld.
The magistrate ordered the police to identify the woman to whom Ravindu referred to as 'mother' and to report to court on the said issue. The police were also ordered to inform Court whether the police would name Vaas Gunawardena as a suspect in the case or not.

Kozak Calls For Tougher DUI Laws
Cheyenne Police Chief Brian Kozak says Wyoming's current DUI laws are lax to the point of being "ridiculous".

It's a backpack, no wait, it's a shoulder bag, no wait, it's a cross-body baby-gear toting, shiny, convenient extravaganza! Yes, this is a diaper bag. But there's nothing cutesy or kitschy about it. This bag is all about convenience, function, and space. I no longer carry a purse and a diaper bag when I'm out with the little one(s), because everything I need fits in here (not to mention it's gorgeous!)
The bottom part is a fold-down flap that unzips to reveal a spacious structured (read: won't crush your stuff) compartment that has a divided drawer in it. There is a big flap pocket on one side (perfect to hold a couple of Envirosax) and the other side has a smaller flap pocket (keeps my iPhone in a handy place) plus an elastic topped bottle holder which fits baby bottles, kids sippys, or even Mom's own water bottle (even my big clunky Contigo bottle from Costco!)
When you open the top (the big flap is closed with an adjustable hook & loop closure) the main bag compartment is zippered. Inside there is a small zippered pocket (great for lady products or a mini first aid kit), 3 insulated pouches for bottles/sippys, one uninsulated pouch (will fit an Epipen according to their promotional brochure), and one wider hook & loop closure pouch that will hold a few disposable diapers & wipes. Plus of course there is the space in the center (all the pockets/pouches are along the perimeter) and that's where baby's blanket, change of clothes, and your wallet/makeup bag can go. I've also put in my Moby wrap, and my entire collection of Envirosax (on grocery day). The last feature I feel I need to tell you about is the changing pad - it's included, and rolls up and fits into a pocket underneath the large flap. Easy peasy to pull out with one hand when you're holding a poopy baby in the other hand.
Now because I cloth diaper, I've had to play with the configuration a bit to make everything fit. I took out the divided drawer (I use it on my change table to hold cotton swabs, nail clippers, and baby hair clips, among other things) and I keep 3-4 rolled up pocket diapers + one wetbag in the compartment at the bottom. One of the sippy pouches on the top holds 5-6 dry rolled up cloth wipes (or a Ziploc with a few wet cloth wipes if I'm going somewhere that doesn't have a convenient sink/faucet). Baby's change of clothes are in a Ziploc bag at the bottom of the large open section, then a spare receiving blanket. I use a Pouchee Purse Organizer to hold my wallet, lip balm, hand sanitizer, hairbrush, etc and that goes right on top of everything else so it's easy to access.
So the bag holds everything I need (with room to spare), but what makes it so convenient? Well, for starters, it converts super easily from a shoulder/messenger bag (good for when you know you'll be picking it up and putting it down a lot), to a backpack (which is great when you're out doing lots of walking, or if baby's in the Moby wrap). At the grocery store, I clip the bag to the cart using the backpack straps, which makes it completely hands free and does not take up space in the cart. I can reach in for whatever I need, and I'm not weighed down with a bag as I zip up and down the aisles (with GroceryIQ in hand so I don't waste any time).
If you're in the market for a spacious bag that will have you covered for a day out, this is the one. Yes, it's big, but it holds a ton, and is configured really well so that you never have to dig for stuff. It doesn't come cheap, it seems to be around $130 new (I was lucky and got it for $60 on Baby Half Off), but it's a lovely and useful bag, and you won't be disappointed with it. Go read more about the Elite (and check out the rest of their collection!) over at http://www.mrssmithsbags.com/

Fargo area leaders prep for ash borer
The emerald ash borer is an invasive wood-boring beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees in southeastern Michigan alone, with tens of millions more lost in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Quebec, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. It has also cost municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries tens of millions of dollars.
There have been no emerald ash borer sightings in North Dakota, a state with an estimated 70 million ash trees, but leaders fear they may soon become an issue.
To prepare, borer traps were recently placed around Fargo. Anita Burnside, the city's emerald ash borer trapping coordinator, set up 27 traps, many along the Red River, and parks and recreation workers placed eight others.
Dozens of traps have also been set up across the state by other departments working with USDA.
The traps are being used to be proactive before the pests arrive, said Fargo City Forester Scott Liudahl.
The traps are purple, the best attraction for adult beetles. The traps are covered in manuka oil and a sticky substance known as tanglefoot. The traps use pheromones as a lure to attract the ash borers.
Traps are switched out halfway through the summer to ensure the surface remains sticky. No emerald ash borers have been caught in the metro area yet.
An estimated 50,000 traps have been set up in 47 states, making it easier for the USDA and other agencies to detect the edges of the infestation problem.
USDA workers also placed fliers on 17th Avenue South and on Elm Street in Fargo that advertise the dangers of borers and how to avoid an infestation. Both streets are lined with ash trees.
Minimizing the amount of firewood being transported is the best way to reduce the risk of having an infestation on ash trees, officials say.
Rebecca Blue of the USDA uses the expression "burn it where you buy it" to remind people when they travel or go camping.
Hauling firewood is the "easiest way to transport this little critter," she said.
Liudahl said the city will soon start working in neighborhoods with a high concentration of trees in poor condition, particularly ash trees, to try to prevent infestations.
Most beetles remain in protected locations such as bark crevices or foliage, especially during inclement weather or warm temperatures. This makes it difficult to determine a problem until it's too late, Liudahl said, adding that prevention and maintenance is key.
The best way for people to prevent infestations in their yards is through diversification by removing and replacing ash trees so they aren't next to each other.
Liudahl listed oak, linden and maple as trees that can handle the heartiness of this area for diversification.

Select below to reveal O'Connell's project profiles for this market:
The Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge is a 1-1/2-mile cable suspension bridge spanning the Saint Lawrence Seaway that links the north-central border of New York State with Canada. The bridge is a vital international conduit for the transportation of persons and goods and connects much needed economic development projects for the region on either side of the border. Built in 1960, the Ogdensburg Bridge had recently been categorized as a structurally deficient surface transportation asset. Pursuant to New York State's adopted Transportation Master Plan for 2030 the bridge was targeted for rehabilitation in order to "achieve a state of good repair" and to ensure the bridge's longterm viability. The Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority partnered with the New York State Department of Transportation to implement the $48 million rehabilitation project. Work included replacement of all main span bridge decking, structural steel floor beams and stringers, raised concrete safety walks, and bridge railing systems across both approach spans and the main suspension spans.
O'Connell is no stranger to large-scale international bridge rehabilitation projects. Our portfolio includes the Thousand Islands Bridge and The Peace Bridge, which is the second busiest boarder crossing between the U.S. and Canada. Under a $3 million contract from the American Bridge Company, O'Connell was tasked with replacement and upgrade of all bridge electrical and communications infrastructure. The new two-conduit raceway system we installed spans the full 7385 foot length of the bridge, one conduit carrying wire and cable for bridge functionality, the other for future international communications. O'Connell installed newly engineered dehumidification systems into sealed vaults, where the bridge stay cables are anchored, as part of the bridge's comprehensive corrosion protection system. We also installed all new street, bridge, and navigational lighting for the project.
The majority of electrical work and installations needed to be accomplished underneath the bridge's surface. Demonstrating versatility and adaptability in a challenging construction environment, O'Connell researched, rented, purchased, and modified specialized equipment that enabled our technicians, and other trades, to access work areas from the topside of the bridge. With workmen suspended 100 feet, or more, over water and land during the construction period, job site safety and worker fall protection were an utmost priority. O'Connell demonstrated exceptional safety performance throughout the eighteen-month duration of the project with no reported safety incidents or injuries.
On a project of this magnitude, numerous obstacles and challenges present themselves that could not have been anticipated when bidding the work. O'Connell exhibited both the character and industry leadership qualities we are known for by managing each issue that arose and meeting all project completion schedules.

Having already amazed the world three years earlier with the lifelike balancing capabilities of its quadruped BigDog, this would be the company's first bipedal robot. It was an ambitious project, but it appears the work has paid off. The robot's eerily realistic body movements are made all the more convincing now that its mechanical nature is hidden by a chemical protection suit.

From the Publisher"Making Sense of Illness succeeds as both a medical monograph and a book for the lay reader because it speaks to such deep matters of health and health care delivery, and accomplishes its task in relatively jargon-free language. This is a book for the thinking reader." The Washington Post
"This book will stimulate responses from both the ontologic and holistic camps...It should be especially appreciated by the new breed of academics incessantly involved in designing and redesigning the medical school curriculum." The New England Journal of Medicine
"The author of this very sensible book is no ideologue; he makes us think hard about interactions among social and biological determinants of disease meaning....Making Sense of Illness succeeds as both a medical monograph and a book for the lay reader because it speaks to such deep matters of health and health care delivery, and accomplishes its task in relatively jargon-free language. This is a book for the thinking reader." Harold J. Morowitz, The Washington Post
"Robert A. Aronowitz has written a challenging and most interesting short book perhaps best characterized as medical historicosociologic in scope...I hope that Making Sense of Illness will be widely read and discussed within our profession." Joseph S. Alpert, MD, JAMA
"...a doctor's effort to do justice...bringing us to our (clinical senses) so that we can appreciate the limits as well as the extent of our new knowledge." Robert Coles, The Lancet
"The great virtue of this book is the author's esential even handedness. He is an astute clinician...alert to the way new knowledge can becloud as well as inform..." Robert Coloe, The Lancet
"The author wants us to examine closely the way our thinking about diseases in the abstract effects our relationship with our patients...those broader social and cultural matters as they bear down on the daily encounters that take place in medical offices across the world, and especially among the priveledged, health-conscious bourgeoisie of the western world." Robert Coloe, The Lancet
"...in this century, we have acquired an astonishing body of knowledge about the mechanisms of various diseases, and this book in no way underestimates or undervalues that knowledge." Robert Coles, The Lancet
"...an insightful book focused on 20th-century medical developments and based on his own clinical experiences with chronic disease. ...should be read by everybody who cares for the future of medicine." Inquirer
"His argmumentation is lucid, temperate, and scholarly. His intention is to open his readers' eyes to the historical contingencies and unexamined assumptions that underpin medical knowledge. His case studies wil be substantively interesting to psychiatric audiences, but it would be a mistake to ignore the book's larger imlications for psychiatry. Aronowitz's splendid book points us in this direction." Allan Young, Ph.D., The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with hair and beauty. I've wanted to be a hairdresser for as long as I can remember and I am so happy to be doing just that. Helping people to look and feel their best is an important and rewarding job and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
I attended the Jean Madeline Aveda Institute of Philadelphia, where I graduated #1 in my class. I immediately began work at Salon Fiber in August of 2008. I instantly fell in love with Fiber; it was like my second home. I constantly educated myself in all areas of the industry, sucking it all in like a sponge. From cutting and coloring to makeup and finishing, I found myself loving the technical side of being a hairdresser but striving for more. When Fiber founder Wendy Fata and her family decided to relocate to California, it was the perfect opportunity to make this home truly mine and I took over ownership of Salon fiber at the beginning of 2014. I love the business side of the industry (one of those rare people who love math!) and am so looking forward to a future growing the salon and its' wonderful team.
Education and passion are two very important things to me. Salon Fiber was created to offer cutting edge hair in a comfortable, boutique style setting and I am always looking to take it to the next level. I am so grateful for all of the loyal clients, talented staff, and steady mentorship of Wendy and her brother Andy that help me to achieve my goals!
I'm Alyssa and I have been working in salons since 2005. I earned my cosmetology license when I was just out of high school and have been working as a stylist ever since. I really enjoy playing with bright colors and having some room for creativity but can also achieve anything from subtle to edgy.
Keeping up with current trends is important to me so I am constantly attending classes to refine my skills and make them available to you. I have a wide range of different clients at Salon Fiber and would love to add you into that mix.
Since an early age, art, fashion and beauty have always had a huge influence on me. Born with a creative eye, this industry has provided me with an endless amount of outlets to express myself.
After high school, I began schooling for graphic design, which awakened my artistic ability. Feeling the sense that something was missing, I found myself drawn to cosmetology. I attended Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in 2007, and finally discovered my passion.
Throughout the years my passion has only grown for the industry, and I'm happy to be helping people make their visions become reality. I've had a number of classes in advanced cutting and coloring, up styles, the Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Treatments. I was also invited to style hair for Villanova University's 2010 'Love The Skin You're In' fashion show.
Salon Fiber has provided me with everything hair styling has to offer. I've truly found my home, and look forward to the years ahead!
To me, being a hairstylist is one of the most rewarding jobs. Every day is completely unpredictable and a chance to create and learn something new at the same time. I started out in the hair industry in 2007 as a shampoo assistant and went on to beauty school at Pulse Beauty Academy a Paul Mitchell Partner School, where I began my formal education as a hairstylist.
I think my passion for art and attention to detail is what has really pushed me to work hard at hairdressing. I believe the consultation with your client is the most crucial part of the salon experience. Making sure I fully grasp my client's vision is such an essential part of my job. I specialize in overall dry styling of the hair. From blow outs, to curls, to up-styling, that is what gets my creative juices flowing!
My hobbies, when not doing hair, include antiquing/thrifting, being active outdoors, art, music, baking cupcakes, & most importantly laughing…mostly at my own jokes!
I absolutely love my job and cannot wait to see what the future has in store me. This industry is an open door for so many possibilities. I would love the chance to share my passion with each of you!

Since I can remember I have had a deep connection to art and style. I believe in personal transformation and I believe your look should reflect your inner beauty and should change and develop as you progress in life. I know I have had a few personal renaissances in my life! These growing and learning experiences always transcend in my style of cutting and coloring. I love to learn and grow and that is why I love this career!
Deeply rooted in education, I am constantly learning new techniques and trends. I'm always eager to attend the "in-house" workshops here at Salon fiber as well as the many classes offered by our product lines Eufora & Redken. I was also privileged enough to apprentice under some of the best stylists in Philadelphia, as well as attend advanced cutting classes at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in L.A.
I would love the opportunity to meet you and exercise my craft! I am equally passionate about color and cutting and love to make every client happy and feel empowered about their life through their look!
I have always had a love for hair and beauty. After spending years in the corporate world, I was given the opportunity to finally pursue my true passion in the beauty industry. I attended Pulse Beauty Academy, a Paul Mitchell Partner School and graduated first in my class. I immediately joined the team at Salon fiber in August 2012 and I couldn't be happier! Since being here I have been able to further my knowledge of the industry taking classes in creative color and cutting, up-styling, smoothing treatments and balayage.
Your hair is the accessory that you wear every day and I would love to be a part of your everyday look. From classic to edgy, I do it all! I look forward to creating your vision with my talents.
I personally feel that the beauty industry is one of the most powerful institutions. Having someone spend a brief amount of time with you and then being able to leave feeling and looking better is amazing to me. I love seeing people's perception of themselves change to be a little more positive than when they walked in.
Directly after high school I attended college, and in that time I realized what my career path should be. I have always loved the beauty industry and am very artistic. This lead me to enter cosmetology school soon after. When I joined Salon fiber in 2013, I knew right away this was my home. I cannot thank the girls enough for being amazing people and making this so enjoyable every day. I love utilizing my talents here. Besides specializing in hair color and makeup, I get to explore my artistic side in other ways. You can thank me for the chalkboard designs and the mural behind the front desk.
I think when someone walks in the door it is all about communication. I believe that understanding what someone needs is most important. I love everything from bright crazy colors, to more refined looks and both of us have to be on the same page to get the desired look. I look forward to working with you to achieve your ideal look.
My love for the beauty industry stems from a lifetime love and hobby of hair and makeup. While growing up, I loved the feeling that came along with helping other people. After deciding to tie the two passions together I attended Empire Beauty School in 2009. I've been crafting and developing my skill ever since.
Today I specialize in balayage, formal styling, and makeup. Allowing people to see and bring out their inner and outer beauty is what truly gratifies me!
I'm so excited to be a part of the Salon fiber team and can't wait to share my skills, passion, tips, and tricks with you! Book an appointment today and let's get started!
My love for this industry started many years ago. My grandmother was a hairdresser and watching her work as I grew up I always knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps. While in high school. I had the opportunity to go to a vocational technical school for cosmetology. Through their training, I was able to earn my cosmetology license before graduating.
In 2013 I was fortunate enough to join Salon fiber's team. Working here has provided me with an invaluable education program to further my skills. I believe that hands on experience is the best education and I have learned a lot since my start at Salon fiber. I love keeping up with new trends, techniques, and technologies in the beauty industry. This allows me to give each client the best possible experience and result.
I love my work and am excited to meet each and every one of my clients….and remember, good things come in small packages!
Since I was a child I have been intrigued and fascinated by hair and beauty. I have always wanted to have a career where I can work with people and bring happiness into their lives while being able to create something beautiful. I am so happy I am able to do just that! I love how creative, artistic, and hands on it allows me to be.
I have been working at Salon fiber since 2009 where I confirmed my passion for the industry. I then attended West Chester University where I earned my degree in nutrition and psychology to help further myself and supplement my knowledge while I attended cosmetology school. I went to Pulse, a Paul Mitchell partner school where I graduated in the honors program in 2014.
I am so grateful to have such a rewarding career and am pleased I am able to increase my knowledge at a wonderful salon. Salon fiber emphasizes the importance of furthering one's education and keeping up with the latest trends and that is important to me. I also appreciate its warm and inviting atmosphere!

The project website including binaries for download and a bugtracking system can be found at http://ssw.jku.at/dcevm/.
The class data structures of the Java HotSpot virtual machine are immutable during the execution of a program. While new classes can be loaded, it is not possible to change existing classes (e.g. add/remove methods or fields). This projects tries to relax this condition to allow arbitrary changes to existing Java classes (including changes to the class hierarchy) while running a Java program.
Work in progress.
Latest patch update: December 17, 2010
Patch base: jdk7-b118
Full patch (advanced version): hotswap.patch
Patch with VM modifications only and limited feature set: hotswaplight.patch
Please send any comments or questions to: email@example.com
Implementation Notes
Initial implementation description (April 1, 2009): Thomas Wuerthinger, Dynamic Code Evolution for the Java HotSpotVirtual Machine
For more recent information, see the list of publications.
General Design Decisions
- Arbitrary changes possible (including changes to subtype relationships)
- No performance penalty before or after the change
- No introduced indirections
- Continued execution of old active methods
- Only simple, comprehensible strategies for field matching or method transitions
- Change possible at any point when the VM is suspended
- Graceful handling of accesses to deleted fields or calls of deleted methods
|Type of Change
|Possible problems after resume
|Swap Method Body
|Add Method
|Remove Method
|NoSuchMethodError / none in advanced version
|Add Field
|Remove Field
|NoSuchFieldError / none for static fields in advanced version
|Add Supertype
|Remove Supertype
|no / yes in advanced version
|none, but not always guaranteed to be possible
Transformer Methods
Classes can implement a method "void $transformer()".
This method is called on every object whose class was redefined and can therefore be used to initialize the new instances of a class.
Additionally, it is possible to implement a static method "void $staticTransformer()" that will be called on the class only.
Example code:
Initial version
New version
Future Work
- NetBeans support for advanced features such as transformer methods and method forwarding.

European regulator says Google policy may violate data protection laws
BRUSSELS - Google's new privacy policy appears to violate the European Union's data protection rules, France's regulator said Tuesday, just two days before the new guidelines are set to take effect.
Google's new rules outline how it intends to use the personal data it collects through its search engine, e-mail and other services.
However, EU data protection authorities are concerned about the privacy effects of the policy and earlier this month asked French regulator CNIL to investigate them.
"Our preliminary analysis shows that Google's new policy does not meet the requirements of the European Directive on Data Protection," CNIL said in a letter to Larry Page, Google CEO. The letter was sent Monday and posted on CNIL's website Tuesday.
CNIL said Google's explanation of how it will use the data was too vague and hard to grasp "even for trained privacy professionals."
The new policy makes it easier for Google to combine the data of one person using different services such as the search engine, YouTube or Gmail if he is logged into his Google account. That allows Google to create a broader profile of that user and target advertising based on that person's interests and search history more accurately. Advertising is the main way Google makes its money.
However, CNIL said data protection authorities in the EU "are deeply concerned about the combination of personal data across services," adding they had "strong doubts about the lawfulness and fairness of such processing."
Google argues that combining the data into one profile makes search results more relevant and lets users cross-navigate among different services more easily. It says the main purpose of the new policy is to combine the more than 70 different rules for Google's wide-ranging services into one that is simpler and more readable.
"We are confident that our new simple, clear and transparent privacy policy respects all European data protection laws and principles," Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, wrote in response to CNIL's original letter. He also rejected CNIL's reiterated request to delay the policy's rollout.

AP predicts who will and should win at the Tonys
NEW YORK (AP) — It's been a year on Broadway so unpredictable that the only thing for certain at the Tony Awards on Sunday is that Hugh Jackman will be the host. There have been no clear juggernauts — although some wonderful performances — and critics have largely bemoaned the lack of strong new good musicals and plays. In fact, the best revival categories this year easily overshadow anything new.
That has led to uncertainty in most of the categories, and the nominating committee made no friends with choices that left many scratching their heads. CBS won't be too happy that the likes of Denzel Washington, Daniel Radcliffe, James Franco and Rachel Weisz didn't get nominations. To make matters worse, the telecast faces off against Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs.
So, into the breach, The Associated Press handicaps some of this year's messy races.
Will win: "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder." Should win: "Aladdin."
"A Gentleman's Guide" is the only one of the four nominees to have all original music and is a hard-working, witty, fun work that deserves its win. But "Aladdin" has everything a big musical should have — humor, high-step dancing, big sets and costumes, a bona fide leading man in James Monroe Iglehart and tried-and-tested songs. It's even got a flying carpet. Who could ask for anything more? Actually, we could ask for more nominations: "The Bridges of Madison County," ''If/Then," ''Bullets Over Broadway" and "Rocky" — though each was somewhat flawed — all deserved to be here, too.
Will win: "All The Way." Should win: "Mothers and Sons."
The first turbulent year of Lyndon Johnson's presidency is the gripping focus of Robert Schenkkan's play and it owes its likely win to Bryan Cranston, who is spellbinding in the lead role. But the play is bloated and gets bogged down in the second half. Terrence McNally's "Mothers and Sons" is gentle in a way "All the Way" is showy. And in its subtle dialogue, McNally's play often seems more authentic than Schenkkan's. The other contestants — "Act One," ''Casa Valentina" and "Outside Mullingar" — are delightful without leaving a lasting impression.
Will win: "The Glass Menagerie." Should win: Any of the four.
Want great acting in brilliant works? Step right down to the best play revival category. "The Glass Menagerie," with Cherry Jones and Zachary Quinto, was dreamy and sublime. "A Raisin in the Sun" with Denzel Washington is powerful and resonant. "Twelfth Night" with Mark Rylance was Shakespeare at its best. And "The Cripple of Inishmaan" is an ensemble, sets and a playwright firing on all four cylinders. No one should have to choose among these standout productions.
Will win: "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Should win: "Les Miserables."
The breathtaking 90-minute revival of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is full of energy and bravado, with a leading transvestite in Neil Patrick Harris who sings with real feeling and saucily spits up at the audience. So it's easy to overlook the new "Les Mis," with its gloomy, aching heartbeat. It has two superb leads in Ramin Karimloo and Will Swenson and new orchestrations, stagecraft and costumes. The third candidate, the understated "Violet," could sneak in to steal the trophy if its two glitzy rivals spit the vote.
