They get paid to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with celebrities like Carrie Underwood. They see these stars barefaced and vulnerable and have the task of transforming, and sometimes even shaping, their images. They also have their own agents, who are charged with managing their portfolios. And occasionally, they end up forming a friendship that could include a stint as a bridesmaid.
It's not high-powered music executives or in-the-loop publicists who recite this list as a job description. This list belongs to the hairstylists and makeup artists who call celebrities their clients.
Carrie Underwood was a fresh-faced ingenue right off her 2005 American Idol win when she met hairstylist and makeup artist Melissa Schleicher. But Underwood's look was about to change.
"I came to Nashville right after Idol and right in the middle of CMA Music Festival. I had already had a couple of people work on my makeup that I wasn't crazy about, and we called Melissa," says Underwood.
Since that first hair and makeup session with Schleicher, Underwood has never used anyone else. "It was love," Underwood says with a laugh.
So much so that when Underwood married Nashville Predators hockey player Mike Fisher, she asked Schleicher to be a bridesmaid.
But for Schleicher, the path to working with one of music's biggest stars was not an overnight journey. In fact, a decidedly-country-girl-makes-good song could have been written about the humble Schleicher, who says she collaborated to transform Underwood, a "precious small-town girl" to the "All-American glamorous woman" she is today.
"I graduated from beauty school and started working at a salon at Hickory Hollow Mall. It was during the Glamour Shots heyday, and I was doing makeup for them," Schleicher remembers.
A photographer noticed her work and she started doing photo shoots, as well as cutting hair. She then worked under Melanie Shelley at Nashville salon Trim Classic Barber & Legendary Beauty, and while there, met country star Alan Jackson.
"I started working with Alan and (his wife) Denise, and then it just grew. And once I started working with Carrie, I was basically on the road for two years," says Schleicher, who also cites country stars Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts as regular clients.
The hair and makeup artist says she often feels like Underwood's big sister after the hours they have spent together; she still travels with the singer for video or photo shoots. But she is at home in Williamson County more often these days, especially after opening her makeup boutique and salon, Parlour 3, in Brentwood.
How different is working in a salon versus the celebrity red carpet?
"Working strictly with artists, I forgot the feeling of taking an average woman and making them feel like they can walk the runway. It is such a special feeling, and I love it."
"You are a kind psychologist who has this accidental talent in hair and makeup."
That is the description Melanie Shelley, owner of Trim Classic and veteran of hundreds of photo and video shoots with celebrity clients, gives to hair stylists who work with music artists.
Shelley, who started her career in New York City, says that when she first came to Nashville, it was a town that was far from cutting edge in the beauty industry.
"I was working on Naomi (Campbell) and Christy Turlington, and we were doing all these shows with stick straight hair. Then I came down here and there were mullets and perms," Shelley says.
She made a name for herself, she believes, by offering a more sophisticated look to Nashville music artists. And she got her foot in the music industry door by using an agent.
"Celebrities will call a top hair and makeup agency, look at 40 or 50 portfolios, and make a decision. My agent basically makes connections, shows my portfolio, takes care of billing," Shelley explains.
Shelley gained what she describes as classical hair training by working in Italy at couture runway shows such as Versace and Thierry Mugler and apprenticing at New York's top salons, and she says her first forays into Nashville were primarily country music artists who wanted something different.
"Early on I worked with the Dixie Chicks and Deana Carter. More country artists. Now I work with 3 Doors Down and our salon does The Fray. And I am seeing more indie artists," says Shelley, who shuttled from New York to Nashville until settling down two years ago to call Nashville home.
As she talks, an assistant brings Shelley a note that she reads and then hands over, laughing. It reads, "If they'd like a glowing quote from me, I'm your fan." A curlicue "N" is scrawled across the bottom, and Shelley says Naomi Judd is waiting for her.
So how does the "kind psychologist" definition play into the world of transforming music artists through hair and makeup?
"I try to build trust with the client," Shelley says. "The truth is, my job is to make the artist feel so confident that they can go in front of thousands of people and not worry about what they look like. I am in service to someone who puts on the cloak of a star."

Project proposal for Tree Plantation at Gunjurpalya Urban Forest
To plant 1000 saplings so as to get a dense cover in the forest as is in the nearby counterpart (kindly check the image below). The rains are getting infrequent and we have permissions for planting only in this month. So we need to plant the same in next few weeks before September end. The presentation attached along with gives further details and the document is provided by the forest department with their intention.
About us
There are several groups doing tree plantations and we wanted to create one that focuses on the success rate of the trees planted. We ensure we take larger saplings which have a higher chance of survival and also tie up with somebody to take care of the young plants. Kindly note that we are procuring leaf mulch and panchagavyam at a discounted price from the Zero Waste Management project at NGV which is a unique attempt in its own right. All in all we are trying to create a win win project for everybody which will be worth the support we seek. This is a purely volunteer driven effort and we tie up with the NGO Youth For Seva for the formal receipts. You can check details of other projects done at http://saytrees.org/
The area to be greened is marked by green rectangle in the image below -
The area just above the meeting point geo-located below is the target area -
We need about Rs 200 per sapling which includes the cost of transportation, maintenance, labor, etc that is planted. We have already planted 250 saplings and we are looking at 750 more. We need help with -
1. Funding for the saplings
2. Volunteers to help plant the saplings
All the funds are used for procuring the saplings and most of the things are taken care of by the forest department keeping the costs to minimum. They have already dug up 1000 pits for us to plant the saplings making the job much easier.
Hit Ratio
The key focus is on the survival rate of the saplings. We are using saplings that are over 8 feet in height as can be seen in the picture below -
Additionally, the forest department will take care of the saplings so as to ensure higher success rate. We are using leaf mulch to help the sapling grow better too.
|Approximately 300 trees can counter balance the amount of pollution 1 person produces in life time.
|A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. So two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four.
|One tree removes about 1 ton of CO2 per year.
|One person causes about 10 tons of carbon dioxide to be emitted a year.Planting 10 trees per person will remove each person's carbon debt for the year.
We can work on media coverage if the sponsors are interested. All events are documented as can be seen from the snaps from previous events. With corporate sponsors each sapling carried the name tags for employees who planted the sapling.
All the updates are circulated on the below lists
Pictures from previous plantations

Elicia Maine, a Beedie School of Business associate professor, is among the first to identify, classify and analyze "de nova firms"—technology start-ups borne of tightly integrated industry and university research labs.
Maine says the firms are driving invention at the crossroads of nanotechnology and biotechnology that, in turn, is energizing many economic sectors such as business investment and manufacturing.
She led a recent study that identifies more than 500 of the world's first de nova companies. The data shows these companies are taking hold not just in technology hotbeds such as California's Silicon Valley and the northeastern U.S. but across the continent and in Europe.
"We have watched the ecosystem emerge in terms of the number and type of firms entering," says Maine.
"This confluence of technology silos in the emerging bio-nano sector is enabling radical innovation, new products and connections that didn't exist before.
"Some of the things we're talking about are targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, enhanced medical diagnostics and new therapeutics."
From 2005-11, the number of bio-nano firms nearly doubled, to 507, with more than 100 of them emerging in North America alone. For more, visit: at.sfu.ca/Rcywir.

Description: This clip is full of surprises, including a bonus scene. It starts with a really cute, fair-haired guy getting naked on Bobby's bed. The lighting is great for a change (way to go, Bobby!) and Bobby sucks the guy off. Then BAM!, there's an edit and we're in the midst of a second short clip. This must have been an unexpected session. We're guessing that Bobby unexpectedly convinced a really hot straight guy to perform by offering him something he couldn't refuse - a black hooker who looks like Paris Grey from Inner City! Paris rides his cock like a mechanical bull and then Bobby brings in a plate of sliced fruit... As for that hooker, let's just say that, "She don't really need a crowd to have a party. Just a funky beat, and you to get it started. Alright! We'll dance the night away. She's havin' big fun - and the party's just begun. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah!"

Lambs' liver is a tasty, economical cut, used here in a quick recipe that's full of flavour.
2 banana shallots, finely diced
small handful fresh curly parsley, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil
150g/5oz thick cut smoked bacon, diced
2 Little Gem lettuce, cut in half lengthways
2 large Portobello or field mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp chicken stock
60g/2¼oz butter
450g/1lb lambs' liver
flour, for dusting
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp beef stock
Stir the shallot, parsley and garlic together in a bowl and set aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown. Add the lettuce to the pan, cut-side down and the mushrooms and chicken stock and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a low heat and add half of the butter. Season the flour to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dust the liver slices in the seasoned flour and add to the butter once it is foaming. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn over and cook for another minute. Remove the liver from the pan and set aside, then deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits. Add the remaining butter and beef stock and continue to cook until the sauce is well combined and thickened slightly. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, spoon the braised lettuce onto serving plates, top with the liver and spoon over the balsamic sauce. Spoon over the shallot mixture.

Golfing for Good
CARSON, Calif. (Tuesday, August 30, 2011) - It was a beautiful day at Industry Hills Golf Club on Monday as Chivas USA held their Annual Charity Golf Tournament. For the fifth straight year the team's foundation Fundación Chivas de Corazón USA hosted a fun day of golf for players, coaching staff, team executives, celebrities and special guests all for a great cause.
The event saw an incredible turnout, with the entire team and coaching staff in attendance. Everyone was divided into foursomes with important team sponsors and over 150 golfers who came out to support not only the foundation, but also a very special cause.
After partnering with the PADRES Contra El Cancer in June, Chivas USA designated part of the proceeds from the golf tournament to benefit the non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Latino children with cancer and their families.
"It's always good when as a group, as a team, we can do some good for others," said head coach Robin Fraser. "Certainly this is a noteworthy cause… I think pediatric cancer is something that is devastating to all of us, for sure. We all either have children or were children at some point, so we know the effect of [cancer on children and their families]. Anything we can do to help the kids we certainly want to."
The afternoon at the golf course was a perfect way for the Chivas USA players and coaches to relax a bit and spend a day together as a team. Many of the players admitted they don't golf often (and we saw plenty of proof!), but there was also some good play on display as well.
"Most of my balls are in the trees, not the fairway," said the perhaps overly modest coach Greg Vanney before teeing up on a short par 4. "We're actually short one guy, and I think the guy we were supposed to have in our group was Phil Mickelson, but he didn't show up."
But only moments later Vanney was jokingly yelling "who needs Mickelson?!" after bombing his tee shot down the middle and to the edge of the green.
Jay Reynolds, Manager of Development and Special Events for PADRES Contra El Cancer, explained just how important the day of fun on the golf course was for PADRES.
"We're trying to expand peoples' knowledge on our partnership," said Reynolds. "Also, on a fundraising level it's important that we raise enough dollars to fund our programs and activities, such as hospital visits [with Chivas players] and games where our children will go to [The Home Depot Center] and enjoy experiences that get them out of the hospital. Chivas USA, along with their players and foundation, have been very helpful in doing that for us."
Towards the end of the afternoon, we caught up with one of those helpful players, midfielder Nick LaBrocca, who summed up the day perfectly.
"It's a gorgeous day out," said LaBrocca. "It's been great to just to relax and interact with people and obviously it's for a good cause. It doesn't get too much better than this."

Think Before You Drink
By Health Day
Underage girls who drink alcohol could be putting their breast health at risk.
In a recent survey, more than 40 percent of high-schoolers said they'd had alcohol in the previous month. Not only is this illegal it could set the stage for a serious disease in young women.
A new study followed nearly 30,000 women for more than 10 years. Early in the study, the researchers asked whether they drank when they were teenagers.
The women who drank alcohol as teens were more likely to develop breast changes that could put them at higher risk of breast cancer. These changes called proliferative benign breast disease cause certain types of cells in the breasts to grow more than they should.
Although not everyone who develops these breast changes goes on to get breast cancer, making lifestyle choices that promote prevention is always best.
Too many teenagers have found that alcohol can lead to life-changing problems, ranging from being arrested to getting into car accidents. Today's news shows us that we're still learning more ways how drinking too early can cause long-term damage.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV, with the news that doctors are reading; health news that matters to you.

Things have really changed. Years ago, whole grains were something eaten on hippie communes. Now we�re all flocking to them, and with good reason. What the �crunchy granola types� knew then, and the rest of us are now discovering, is that whole grains pack a nutritional wallop, while processed grains that remove the bran, germ and endosperm offer far fewer nutrients.
Case in point: Wheat berries. These kernels resemble brown rice, and while they may take more than an hour to cook, they have a nutty, earthy flavor and a chewy texture. In addition to dietary fiber, wheat berries are rich in vitamins B1 and B3 and the minerals magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese.
They are relatively inexpensive � you shouldn�t have to spend more than $2 a pound � and they�re available in the bulk bins of many supermarkets. But the same cannot be said for farro, which is wheat berries with an Italian accent.
Farro is also made from common hard winter wheat; it cooks in the same amount of time, and I�ve seen it at $15 a pound. In the same family is spelt, from an ancient European species of wheat. While not as expensive as farro, which is now a darling of the food world, spelt can take up to three hours to cook. Stick with wheat berries and you can�t go wrong.
Cost-Buster Cooking tips
Wheat berries double in size when cooked, so 1/4 cup uncooked (a normal size serving) translates to 1/2 cup cooked.
The length of time it takes to cook wheat berries depends on the species of wheat. Kernels from hard winter wheat take upwards of an hour to cook, while those from soft Southern wheat might be done in 45 minutes. Start checking them after 40 minutes.
Some older recipes for wheat berries (and farro) suggest soaking before cooking, in the same manner as soaking dried beans. I�ve done tests and this really doesn�t make a difference in the cooking time, plus I like to toast the kernels before I cook them and that is impossible to accomplish once they�re soggy.
To toast wheat berries, spread them out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until browned and fragrant.
Wheat berries absorb flavor very well. You can add spices, garlic or herbs to the cooking liquid, and you�ll really taste them in the finished dish.
Always save the liquid if you drain canned tomatoes. Add it to stocks, soups or sauces.
Wheat Berry Pilaf
1 cup wheat berries
2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 green, red or orange bell pepper, diced or sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Bring the wheat berries to a boil in a saucepan of salted water and boil for 15 minutes. Drain and return them to the pan. Add the stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook the wheat berries for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked but still chewy. Check them after 30 minutes and add additional stock or water if the mixture seems dry.
While the wheat berries simmer, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the vegetables to the wheat berries when they have 15 minutes remaining on their cooking time. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
Serves 4 to 6.
Note: The pilaf can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. Reheat it over low heat or in a microwave oven.
Bean and Wheat Berry Soup
1 pound dried cannellini beans
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 celery rib, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
10 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1 cup wheat berries, rinsed well
1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Rinse the beans in a colander and place them in a mixing bowl covered with cold salted water. Allow the beans to soak overnight. Or place the beans into a saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 1 minute. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and soak the beans for 1 hour. With either soaking method, drain the beans, discard the soaking water and cook or refrigerate the beans.
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the beans, stock, parsley, sage and thyme. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer the soup, covered, for 1 hour.
Remove 1-1/2 cups of the solids from the soup with a slotted spoon. Puree in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a blender. Stir the puree back into the soup and stir in the wheat berries and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the wheat berries are chewy but tender. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper, and serve hot, passing the Parmesan separately.
Note: The soup can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. Reheat over low heat, stirring frequently, and thin with additional stock or water if it seems too thick after refrigeration.
Serves 8.

"The best theology begins and ends in silence. It begins in silence as we stop our idle chattering and listen to what God has to say. We start by listening for the quiet, strong, deep voice of God speaking to us through the pages of Scripture, through the words of those who have come to know him best through the centuries. It also ends in silence, as when we begin to glimpse the greatness, the mercy, the wisdom of God, there is not much we can say in return, apart from to wonder and worship. In between there may be many words… There is conversation to be had, questions to ask and ideas to explore, but all the while expecting to be quietened by the presence of God before whom all voices fall silent."
– Graham Tomlin, Looking Through the Cross

The Wonderful Monds Family
March 6th, 2011 | Published in Fathers and Sons
In yesterday's article about 1974 Nebraska Cornhusker Playing Cards, I included an image of the Wonder Monds card. Von Spalding, of Von's Card Blog, saw the article and pointed out that a player named Wonder Monds had also appeared on an Atlanta Braves baseball card. Von guessed that Wonder Monds the Brave was the son of Wonder Monds the 'Husker, and, as it turns out, he guessed correctly. An article at bleacherreport.com says that Wonder Monds the Brave is actually the third Wonder, and his full name is Wonderful Terrific Monds III.
After Nebraska, Wonder II played three seasons for the CFL's Ottawa Rough Riders and one season for the San Francisco 49ers. Wonder III played several years of minor league baseball in the Braves, Rockies, and Reds farm systems. And Wonder III's brother, Mario, spent two seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins.
The card pictured here is Wonder Monds II's 1973 Nebraska Cornhuskers Playing Card. Son Mario appeared on a 2001 Bowman Chrome football card, which I know nothing about, but I did see a couple on eBay. Wonder III appeared on a handful of baseball cards, and you can find those on eBay, as well.

DEER TRAIL, Colo. (July 17, 2013)—Local leaders in Deer Trail, Colo., are considering an ordinance that would create aerial drone hunting licenses and offer bounties to anyone who shoots one down.
While they admit they've never actually seen a drone on the Eastern Plains, they say they want to make a statement that using unmanned surveillance planes to spy on Americans is wrong.
The ordinance is mostly symbolic and officials say they recognize it's against the law to destroy federal property.
The licenses would cost $25 a year and the ordinance calls for offering a $100 reward to anyone who provides identifiable pieces of a downed drone.
