Collaborative Divorce Group to hold Second Saturday workshop April 12th 10am-Noon Oak Creek Community Center
2nd Saturday Wisconsin is a series of public education and information sessions about divorce and other family law issues. All the sessions are held on the "second Saturday" of each month and are free, open to everyone, and with no "registration" or tracking of attendance. The goal is to allow you to learn more about divorce options in Wisconsin.
The sessions are hosted by the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin (CFLCW), a non-profit, tax exempt organization dedicated to alternative dispute resolution in issues of family law.
CFLCW is not pro-divorce or anti-divorce. We simply believe that when divorce happens, there is a better way, and that process is called collaborative divorce.
These informal educational sessions are designed to help you learn about divorce options. The professionals involved are all trained members of CFLCW.
The professionals participating in this program will NOT discuss your personal situation, answer specific legal questions about your marriage or provide legal advice. This is not a free legal service.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Would anyone be interested in forming a co-op and purchasing raw bush in the northern country between North Bay and Timmins? There are still some 160 acres between $30,000 to $70,000 (without plumbing nor electricity nor roads). If there was a spring deal, I could swing $1500 to $2000. As owners we could subdivide and subdivide and subdivide and practice our skills. We do not need a permit to build a ten by ten shed for storing our camping equipment, etc. We could each have a shed and build similiar sheds for our friends and families. I don't think that a business permit for camping would be a requirement as it would fall under a "retreat". Anyone interested?
have you considered unorganized townships...parry sound district and nippising are the closest (and still far enough away)...where building restrictions, taxes and hassles can be minimized? i like this concept, am open. thx.

If property is purchased as a retreat for Survivorlists for educational reasons, etc, the names of ALL purchasers would have to be included on the deed and not just the name of a said 3 - 4 members representing a co-op. The purchase amount could be paid in full (which is the best) or for members without savings, perhaps x amount of dollars to pay for their shares per month or lots could be rented to them by imposing a annual fee to cover the cost of taxes. The banking would be in the name of ALL members and no withdrawals can be made by anyone except in transfering monies as payment for the land. In other words, deposits would be locked in. A long time ago, I, and others, placed money in trust, in the Toronto area, to help purchase a building for the homeless, and the collector disappeared with the purse.

We also have the subdivison model where up to 30 houses are side by side but the fringe is kept as a roadway. In the north, this does not apply as most Crown Propterties were subdivided into 160 acres approxiamtely. So, if one was interested in a co-op, they would have to be in agreement to allow a road on the outer fringe depending on the size of the lots which could be purchased by shares. Each purchaser would have to do the survey unofficially for sheds but if interested in small cottages ( a future event) an official survey would have to be paid by each owner which is usually about a $1000 plus.

Just in case you do not know the laws pertaining to Crown Properties let me educate you. Some Americans think that they have the rite to pick out a spot & mark it with either a stick or stone to claim it as theirs. That law is from the 1600's. The lot was marked BUT it had to then be registered and taxes would then be paid. It is quite common to run into people that will not allow access to lots behind their lots as they feel that traveling on THEIR property is tresspassing. They themselves are breaking the law. The King's law, has always been in place which means that the King, his army or police could travel on the outskirts. Thus, you will see on maps large farms with the fringes belonging to the King or the government which is from thirty to a hundred feet roadway.

U.S. May Back Global Anti-Tobacco Treaty
In a last-minute change of policy, U.S. Health Secretary Tommy Thompson indicates he will support an international anti-tobacco treaty due to be adopted at a World Health Organization meeting in Geneva. The measure would restrict tobacco ads and place higher taxes on tobacco products. But Thompson says the treaty still needs to be signed by President Bush and ratified by Congress.

...to Spring Break next week! I'm not going anywhere exciting, or even going home. But I'm really looking forward to the great weather, spending some time with friends, and having the whole apartment to myself. This week has flown by, fortunately. I have one more exam before I'm pretty much done. Then I have a bazillion shifts at work before the dining courts close (got to get some extra cash in my pocket). Then time to relax.
I think relaxation is something I need. I have been kind of stressed, unmotivated, and unhappy lately. I think the grind of school and work have been getting me down, and a break will help. My eating habits haven't been perfect, and I'm hoping that a nice relaxing week will bring everything back into balance and get my weight loss rolling again.
Also, this is a little weird, but I get SO HUNGRY right before my period. It's not stress eating and I don't get emotional...I just get major hunger pains unless I eat a lot more than usual. It's frustrating.
This week, I...
- played a game of Humans vs. Zombies! We hosted an invitational. It was a good way to get some exercise, make new friends, and have a good time.
- survived exams (although not as well as I'd have liked)
- worked out regularly.
- made healthier choices at restaurants.
- discovered a grocery store that is local and much closer to my apartment than Walmart. I'm excited to go shopping!
So being busy has made it tough to stay on track, but I'm doing my best, and I'm fine with that.

Welcome to the latest edition of the HP Discover Performance Podcast Series. Our next discussion examines how Liberty Mutual Insurance is effectively building security more deeply into its overall business practices.
We'll see how the requirements of compliance and regulatory governance are aligning with security best practices to attain the higher goals of enterprise resiliency, and deliver greater responsiveness to all varieties of risk.
Here to explore these and other security-related enterprise IT issues, we're joined by our co-host Raf Los, Chief Security Evangelist at HP Software, and special guest John McKenna, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Liberty Mutual Insurance, based in Boston. The chat is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: HP is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: Why is security so important to your business now, and in what ways are you investing?
McKenna: It's pretty clear to us that the world has changed in terms of the threats and in terms of the kinds of technologies that we're using these days to enable our business. Certainly, there's an obligation there, a responsibility to protect our customers' information as well as making sure that our business operations can continue to support those customers.
So, as I said, it's the realization that we need to make sure we're as secure as we need to be, and we can have a very deep discussion about how secure we need to be.
In addition to that, we have our own employees, who we feel we need to protect to enable them to work and get the job done to support our customers, while doing so in a very secure workplace environment.
Gardner: How do you think things are different now than, say, four or five years ago?
McKenna: I'll start with just the technology landscape itself. From mobility platforms and social networking to cloud computing, all of those are introducing different attack vectors, different opportunities for the bad guys to take advantage of.
Reducing the threat
We need to make sure that we can use those technologies and enable our business to use them effectively to grow our business and service our customers, while at the same time, protecting them so that we reduce the threat. We will never eliminate it, but we can reduce the opportunities for the bad guys to take advantage.
Los: John, you talk about for your customers. From a security perspective, your customers are your external customers as well as internal, correct?
McKenna: We absolutely have our internal customer as well. We have partners, vendors, agencies, and brokers that we're doing business with. They're all part of the supply chain. We have an obligation to make sure that whatever tools and technologies we are enabling them with, we're protecting that as well.
Gardner: Liberty Mutual, of course, is a large and long-time leader in insurance. Help us understand the complexity that you're managing when it comes to bringing security across this full domain.
McKenna: We're a global company in the Fortune 100 list. We have $35 billion in revenue and we have about 45,000 employees worldwide. We offer products across the personal and commercial lines products, or P&C, and life insurance products. We've got somewhere in the range of 900-plus offices globally.
So we have lots of people. We have lots of connections and we have a lot of customers and suppliers who are all part of this business. It's a very complex business operation, and there are a lot of challenges to make sure that we're supporting the customers, the business, and also the projects that are continually trying to build new technology and new capabilities.
In the past, security was really something that was delegated and was an afterthought in some respect.
Gardner: Raf, when we talk about what's different in companies, one of the things is that in the past security was really something that was delegated and was an afterthought in some respect.
But security is now thought through right at the very beginning of planning for new services. Is that the case in your travels?
Los: That's what I'm seeing, and there's still the maturation that's happening across the enterprise spectrum where a lot of the organizations -- believe it or not, in 2012 -- are still standing up formalized security organizations.
Not a given
So security is not a given yet, where that the department exists, is well-funded, well-staffed, and well-respected.You're getting to that state where security is not simply an afterthought or as it was in an organization in my past job history a decade ago or so. In those types of companies, they would get it done and the say, "By the way, security, if you take a look at this before we launch it, make sure it's given virtual thumbs up. You've got about 20 minutes to go."
If you can get away from that, it's really about security teams stepping up and demonstrating that they understand the business model and that they're there to serve the organization, rather than simply dictate policy. It's really a process of switching from this tight iron-grip on control to more of a risk model.
It's sort of a cliché, but IT technology risks understanding acceptance and guidance. I think that's where it's starting to win over the business leaders. It's not that people don't care about security. They do. They just don't know they do. It's up to us to make sure that they understand the context of their business.
Gardner: John, is that ringing true for you at Liberty Mutual?
McKenna: It absolutely is. It goes from the top on down. Our board certainly is reading the headlines every day. Where there are new breaches, their first question is, "Can this happen to us?"
As we're rolling out new capabilities, we have a responsibility to protect the brand and the reputation.
So it certainly starts there, but I think that there absolutely is an appreciation at our strategic business units, the leadership, as well as the IT folks that are supporting them, that as we're rolling out new capabilities, we have a responsibility to protect the brand and the reputation. So they're always thinking first about exactly what the threats and the vulnerabilities might be and what we have to do about it.
We've got a lot of programs under way in our security program to try to train our developers how to develop application, secure coding practices, and what those need to be. We've got lots of work related to our security awareness program, so that the entire population of 45,000 employees has an understanding of what their responsibilities are to protect our company's information assets.
I will use a term used by a colleague that Raf and I know. Our intent is not to secure the company 100 percent. That's impossible, but we intend to provide responsible defenses to make sure that we are protecting the right assets in the right way.
Los: That's very interesting. You mentioned something about how the board reads the headlines, and I want to get your take on this. I'm going to venture a guess. It's not because you've managed to get them enough paper, reams of paper with reports that say we have a thousand vulnerabilities. It's not why they care.
Quite a challenge
McKenna: Absolutely right. When I say they're reading the headlines, they're reading what's happening to other companies. They're asking, "Can that happen to us?" It's quite a challenge -- a challenge to give them the view, the visibility that is right, that speaks to exactly what our vulnerabilities are and what we are going about it. At the same time, I'm not giving them a report of a hundred pages that lists every potential incident or vulnerability that we uncovered.
Los: In your organization, whose job is it? We've had triangulation between the technical nomenclature, technical language, the bits and bytes, and then the stuff at the board actually understands. I'm pretty sure SQL injection is not something that a board member would understand.
McKenna: It's my job and it's working with my CIO to make sure that we are communicating at the right levels and very meaningfully, and that we've, in fact, got the right perspective on this ourselves. You mentioned risk and moving to more of a risk model. We're all a bit challenged on maturing, what that model, that framework, and those metrics are.
When I think about how we should be investing in security at Liberty Mutual and making the business case, sometimes it's very difficult, but I think about it at the top level. If you think about any business model, one approach is a product approach, where you get specific products and you develop go-to-market strategies around those.
If you think about the bad guys and their products, either they're looking to steal customer information, they are looking to steal intellectual property (IP), or they're looking to just shut down systems and disable services. So at the high level, we need to figure out exactly where we fit in that food chain? How much bigger risk are we at at that product level?
It's working with my CIO to make sure that we are communicating at the right levels and very meaningfully.
Gardner: I've seen another on-ramp to getting the attention and creating enough emphasis on the importance of security through the compliance and regulation side of things, and certainly the payment card industry (PCI) comes to mind. Has this been something that's worked for you at Liberty Mutual, or you have certain compliance issues that perhaps spur along behaviors and patterns that can lead to longer-term security benefit?
McKenna: We're a highly-regulated industry, and PCI is perhaps a good example. For our personal insurance business unit, we've just achieved compliance through QSA. We've worked awfully hard at that. It's been a convenient step for us to address some of these foundational security improvements that we needed to make.
We're not done yet. We need to extend that and now we're working on that, so that our entire systems have the same level of protections and controls that are required by PCI, but even beyond PCI. We're looking to extend those to all personal identifiable information, any sensitive information in the company, making sure that those assets have the same protections, the same controls that are essential.
Gardner: Raf, do you see that as well that the compliance issues are really on-ramp, or an accelerant, to some of these better security practices that we've been talking about?
Los: Absolutely. You can look at compliance in one of two ways. You can either look at a compliance from a peer's security perspective and say compliance is hogwash, just a checkbox exercise. There's simply no reason that it's ever going to improve security.
Being an optimist
Or you can be an optimist. I choose to be an optimist, and take my cue from a mentor of mine and say, "Look, it's a great way to demonstrate that you can do the minimum due diligence, satisfy the law and the regulation, while using it as a springboard to do other things."
And John has been talking about this too. Foundationally, I see things like PCI and other regulations, HIPAA, taking things that security would not ordinarily get involved in. For, example, fantastic asset management and change management and organization.
When we think security, the first thing that often we hear is probably not a good change management infrastructure. Because of regulations and certain industries being highly regulated, you have to know what's out there. You have to know what shape it's in.
If you know your environment, the changes that are being made, know your assets, your cycles, and where things fall, you can much more readily consider yourself better at security. Do you believe that?
McKenna: It's a great plan. I think a couple of things. First of all, about leveraging compliance, PCI specifically, to make improvements for your entire security posture.
Because of regulations and certain industries being highly regulated, you have to know what's out there. You have to know what shape it's in.
So we stepped back and considered, as a result of PCI mapped against the SANS Top 20 cyber security controls, where we made improvements. Then, we demonstrated that we made improvements in 16 of the 20 across the enterprise. So that's one point. We use compliance to help and improve the overall security posture.
As far as getting involved in other parts of the IT lifecycle, absolutely -- change management, asset management. Part of our method now for any new asset that's been introduced into production, the first question is, is this a PCI-related asset? And that requires certain controls and monitoring that we have to make sure are in place.
Level of sophistication
We're certainly dealing with a higher level of sophistication. We know that. We also know that there is a lot we don't know. We certainly are different from some industries. We don't see that we're necessarily a direct target of nation-states, but maybe an indirect. If we're part of a supply chain that is important, then we might still get targeted.
But my comment to that is that we've recognized the sophistication and we've recognized that we can't do this alone. So we've been very active, very involved in the industry, collaborating with other companies and even collaborating with universities.
An effort we've got underway is the Advanced Cyber Security Center, run out of Boston. It's a partnership across public and private sectors and university systems, trying to develop ways we can share intelligence, share information, and improve the overall talent-base of and knowledge base of our companies and industry.
Los: This is something that's been building. When we started many years ago, hacking was a curiosity. It moved into a mischief. It moved into individual gains and benefits. People were showing off to their girlfriend that they hacked a website and defaced it.
There are entire cultures, entire markets, and strata of organized crime that get into this.
Those elements have not gone away, by the way, but we've moved into a totally new level of sophistication. The reason for that is that organized crime got involved. The risk is a lot higher in person than it is over the Internet. Encrypting somebody's physical hard drive and threatening to never give it back, unless they pay you, is a lot easier when there is nobody physically standing in front of you who can pull a gun on you. It's just how it is.
Over the "Internet," there is anonymity per se. There is a certain level of perceived anonymity and it's easier to be part of those organized crimes. There are entire cultures, entire markets, and strata of organized crime that get into this. I'm not even going to touch the whole thing on activism and that whole world, because that's an entirely different ball of wax.
But absolutely, the threat has evolved. It's going to continue to evolve. To use a statement that was made earlier this morning in a keynote by Bruce Schneier, technology is often adapted by the bad guys much faster than it is with good guys.
The bad guys look at it and say, "Ooh, how do we utilize it?" Good guys look at a car and say, "I can procure it, do an RFP, and it will take me x number of months." Bad guys say, "That's our getaway vehicle." It's just the way it works. It's opportunity.
Insurance approach
Gardner: I want to go out on a limb a little bit here and only because Liberty Mutual is a large and established insurance company. One of the things that I've been curious about in the field of security is when an insurance approach to security might arise?
For example, when fire is a hazard, we have insurance companies that come to a building and say, "We'll insure you, but you have to do x, y and z. You have to subscribe to these practices and you have to put in place this sort of infrastructure. Then, we'll come up with an insurance policy for you." Is such a thing possible with security for enterprises. Maybe you're not the right person, John, but I am going to try.
McKenna: It's an interesting discussion, and we had some of that discussion internally. Why aren't we leveraging some of the practices of our actuarial departments, or risk assessors that are out there working our insurance products?
I recently met with a company that, in fact, brokers cyber insurance, and we're trying to learn from them. This is certainly not a mature product yet or mature marketplace for cyber insurance. Yet they're applying the same types of risk assessments, risk analysis, and metrics to determine exactly what a company's vulnerabilities might be, what their risk posture might be, and exactly how to price a cyber insurance product. We're trying to learn from that.
The fact that you don't have the metrics is one side of this. It's very difficult to price.
Los: As you were talking, I kept thinking that my life insurance company knows how much they charge me based on years and years and years and years of statistical data behind smokers, non-smokers, people who drive fast, people who are sedentary, people who workout, eat well, etc. Do we have enough data in the cyber world? I don't think so, which means this is a really interesting game of risk.
McKenna: It's absolutely an interesting point. The fact that you don't have the metrics is one side of this. It's very difficult to price. But the fact that they at least know what they should be measuring to come up with that price is part of it. You need to leverage that as a risk model and figure out what kind of assumptions you're making and what evidence can you produce to at least verify or invalidate the model.
Los: On the notion of insurance, I can just think of all the execs that have listened to that, if it's that insurance,saying, "Great. That means we don't have to do anything, and if something bad happens the insurance will cover it." I can just see that as a light bulb going on over somebody's head.
McKenna: We're just trying to learn from it, to understand how we should be assessing our own risk posture and prioritizing where we think the security investment should be.
Away from the silo
Los: Security is going to continue to move away from being a silo in the enterprise. It's something that is fundamental, a thread through the fabric. The notion of a stand-alone security team is definitely becoming outdated. It's a model that does not work. We demonstrated that it does not work.
It cannot be an afterthought and all the fun clichés to go with it. What you're going to start seeing more and more of are the nontraditional security things. Those include, as I said, like I said change management, log aggregation, getting more involved into business day to day, and actually understanding.
I can't tell you how many security people I talk to that I asked the question, "So what does your company do?" And I get that brief moment of blank stare. If you can't tell me how your company survives, stays competitive, and makes money, then really what are you doing and what are you protecting, and more importantly, why?
That's going to continue to evolve, it's just going to separate the really good folks, like John, that get it from those who are simply pushing buttons and hoping for the best.
Gardner: I'm afraid we will have to leave it there.

Jets-branded Budweiser flying off store shelves
You might not be able to see the Winnipeg Jets on the ice at the MTS Centre but you can have a Jets beer on ice in your cooler.
Labatt Breweries of Canada has launched a Jets-branded Budweiser in a new vessel -- aluminum bottles -- for the Manitoba market, lockout or no lockout.
Beer comes in aluminum bottles
What's a cool new aluminum bottle worth to you?
Labatt has just launched a new Jets-branded Budweiser in a 473-millilitre aluminum bottle. That's right, an aluminum bottle. Regular Budweiser and Bud Light also come in the same bottles. All three sell for $2.85 each. (There are no six-packs but if you buy six of them, it will cost you $17.10.)
If these seem familiar, you might have seen them during a shopping excursion to Grand Forks or Fargo, N.D.
Meanwhile, a six-pack of the smaller 385-ml cans sells for $11.75, a six-pack of the 473-ml cans costs $15.50 and a half-dozen 341-ml glass bottles will set you back $11.50.
An eight-pack of Molson Canadian or Coors Light Iced T wide-mouth aluminum 473-ml bottles sells for $21.25.
"We realize that people in the community still have a strong passion for the team. This is our way of continuing to honour that passion," said Dan Chubey, district sales manager at Labatt.
Along with the Jets beer, Labatt has simultaneously launched Budweiser and Bud Lite in the distinctive aluminum bottles, which have proven very popular in the U.S., largely because they get colder faster than traditional glass bottles.
These aren't the first aluminum bottles to be found in liquor stores, however. Earlier this year, Molson Coors launched a pair of brands -- Molson Canadian and Coors Light Iced T in wide-mouth, resealable aluminum bottles.
Chubey said while this first batch has a limited run, Jets Budweiser will be a permanent fixture in the province.
You won't be able to pick up a 12-pack of Jets beer, though. Labatt is selling it in individual bottles. And unlike last season's Jets Fan Brew, this recipe doesn't include any Winnipeg water blessed by Jets fans.
Susan Harrison, a spokeswoman with the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission, said the aluminum bottles have been selling "very well" since they were introduced a couple of weeks ago.
"The Jets bottle especially is selling really well. It has sold five times as much in the last month as the plain aluminum (cans) did the month before," she said.
Bud and Bud Lite have been the top-selling beers in Manitoba for several years running. Sales at the MTS Centre last hockey season didn't put the two over the top again last year but 15,003 largely beer-drinking fans filling the building more than 40 times a year certainly didn't hurt.
"It was a unique year. (Draught sales) were tough to quantify but they definitely added to our totals. The Winnipeg sports fans and Budweiser consumers surprised me to no end last year with their passion for our team and our brand," Chubey said.
"But we're missing the Jets this season. We look forward to seeing them on the ice again."

Kayla did a great job again. She has the "gift"!
my stylist Brooke was great! all the girls in the class were helpful and encouraging of each other too! I would recommend to anyone!
I could not tell if this was supposed to be a school teaching young professionals or high school. I wasn't expecting much, and I'm glad my standards were low. I just went in for a mani and it took two hours. I was excited to get an almost graduating student. I was shocked, through the process that she was almost done with her schooling because I would've expected her to have been much more skilled. My cuticles are a mess and my nail polish only made it on 2/3rds of my nails. She was pleasant, nice to talk to and she did keep asking how I liked everything. Finally, after having her fix things I pointed out, it didn't get better and I gave up. The worst part, sitting and listening to the rest of the students that were not busy mess around. It was towards the end of the day and they were cleaning up. I understand wanting to go home, but I was bumped, brushed up against, asked to move as they were bringing in dirty equipment to be cleaned and to mop the floors. (Don't worry after I looked down the floor was still dirty.) I felt like I was in recess hearing the students complain, yell and gossip. They have classrooms there, so I don't understand why they couldn't go back in there for play time. I don't know if there is a class on how to act professional, but there should be. It's amazing that these students think they are going to graduate and land a job at a nice spa or salon where people who will pay good money for services aren't going to want to hear about your latest drama in life in a unclean facility. You're not going to get far in your career. People who act professional and care about the quality of work they do could leave with a good client base. We all know if you really like someone you will follow them where they go even if you're not supposed to know where they left to. It isn't worth the discount in price to go there.
Well....The young lady that I was assigned to do my hair was nice. However, six hours for a haircut is just ridiculous. The girl doing my hair had never done African American hair and was super discouraged. One of her fellow classmates, Jonte came to the rescue. Jonte was not the student assigned to me, but she rocked!!!! She stepped in and helped the person assigned to me, finish my style. She actually flat ironed and styled my hair. I can not give five stars, because of the amount of time, that I spend there just for a haircut, but the girls were pretty awesome! I am debating on rather, I should go back because of the long wait. Aja and I think Tasha( pink hair educator), were pretty awesome as well.I really wish I had the patience to come back. I would definitely go to Jonte. Jonte will be a rockstar in the Cosmetology world!
Tiffany was fantastic. She was energetic, attentive, and very personable, even at the end of a long day (I was a 5 pm highlight). And I absolutely love my hairI Students like Tiffany are the reason that I keep coming back to the Brown Aveda Institute.
As always a great experience.
I loved Tiffany! She is so professional and a pleasure. She totally transformed my hair and I loved the results!
Very fun and throigh.
I expected for this to be a lengthy process, but I was there for about 5 hours. The student and instructor were wonderful. I came in for a trim and highlights. I showed both the student and instructor which color I wanted-a caramel color. Well, the end color I got was almost blonde. Do t get me wrong it looks nice but not what I wanted. The highlights could've been a little closer to my roots. The spacing of the highlights is good, just NOT the color I was going for
Such a great experience! I had a facial and peel by Lisa C and it was wonderful! I highly recommend this service!
Wonderful experience with the aromatherapy used in the facial. I will share my positive experience with others.
Disappointed that the belly program has been discontinued

Functionality Added or Changed
Replication: Better detection of connection timeout for replication servers on Windows enables elimination of extraneous
Lost connectionerrors in the error log. (Bug #5588)
OPTIMIZE TABLEand
HANDLERnow are prohibited in stored procedures and functions and in triggers. (Bug #12953, Bug #12995)
GREATEST()functions used to return
NULLonly if all arguments were
NULL. Now they return
NULLif any argument is
NULL, the same as Oracle. (Bug #12791)
InnoDB: The
TRUNCATE TABLEstatement for
InnoDBtables always resets the counter for an
AUTO_INCREMENTcolumn now, regardless of whether there is a foreign key constraint on the table. (Beginning with 5.0.3,
TRUNCATE TABLEreset the counter, but only if there was no such constraint.) (Bug #11946)
Reorder network startup to come after all other initialization, particularly storage engine startup which can take a long time. This also prevents MySQL from being run on a privileged port (any port under 1024) unless run as the root user. (Bug #11707)
The restriction on the use of
EXECUTE, and
DEALLOCATE PREPAREwithin stored procedures was lifted. The restriction still applies to stored functions and triggers. (Bug #10975, Bug #10605)
References: See also Bug #7115.
A new command line argument was added to mysqld to ignore client character set information sent during handshake, and use server side settings instead, to reproduce 4.0 behavior :
mysqld --skip-character-set-client-handshake
(Bug #9948)
Added a
--routinesoption for mysqldump that enables dumping of stored routines. (Bug #9056)
RAND()no longer permits nonconstant initializers. (Previously, the effect of nonconstant initializers is undefined.) (Bug #6172)
The Windows binary packages are now compiled with the Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 compiler instead of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
Two new collations have been added for Esperanto:
The connection string for
FEDERATEDtables now is specified using a
CONNECTIONtable option rather than a
COMMENTtable option.
The binaries compiled with the Intel icc compiler are now built using icc 9.0 instead of icc 8.1. You will have to install new versions of the Intel icc runtime libraries, which are available from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/os-linux.html
--hex-dumpoption for mysqldump now also applies to
The syntax for
CREATE VIEWand
ALTER VIEWstatements now includes
SQL SECURITYclauses for specifying the security context to be used when checking access privileges at view invocation time. (The syntax is present in 5.0.13, but these clauses have no effect until 5.0.16.) See CREATE VIEW Syntax, for more information.
Incompatible Change: A lock wait timeout caused
InnoDBto roll back the entire current transaction. Now it rolls back only the most recent SQL statement. (Bug #12308)
MySQL Cluster: The cluster management client
START BACKUPcommand could be interrupted by a
SHOWcommand. (Bug #13054)
MySQL Cluster: A cluster shutdown following the crash of a data node failed to terminate any remaining node processes, even though ndb_mgm showed the shutdown request as having been completed. (Bug #9996, Bug #10938, Bug #11623)
MySQL Cluster: The average row size for Cluster tables was calculated incorrectly. This affected the values shown for the
Avg_row_lengthcolumns in the output generated by
SHOW TABLE STATUSas well as the values for the
data_length/table_rowscolumns shown in the
TABLEStable of the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAdatabase with respect to Cluster tables.
Tables using storage engines other than
NDBwere not affected by this bug. (Bug #9896)
Replication: Within a transaction, the following statements now cause an implicit commit:
DROP PROCEDURE(for stored functions, not UDFs),
CREATE PROCEDURE. This corrects a problem where these statements followed by
ROLLBACKmight not be replicated properly. (Bug #12870)
Replication: Replication of
LOAD DATA INFILEfailed between systems using different path name syntax (such as delimiter characters). (Bug #11815)
Local variables in stored routines were not always initialized correctly. (Bug #13133)
FEDERATEDstorage engine does not support
ALTER TABLE, but no appropriate error message was issued. (Bug #13108)
Columns named in the
USING()clause of
JOIN ... USING()were incorrectly resolved in case-sensitive fashion. (Bug #13067)
For a server compiled with yaSSL, clients that used MySQL Connector/J were not able to establish SSH connections. (Bug #13029)
When used in view definitions,
WEEKDAY(were incorrectly treated as though the expression was
TO_DAYS(TO_DAYS(. (Bug #13000)
ASto rename a column selected from a view in a subquery made it not possible to refer to that column in the outer query. (Bug #12993)
Using an
INOUTparameter with a
DECIMALdata type in a stored procedure caused a server crash. (Bug #12979)
SELECT ... JOIN ... ON ... JOIN ... USINGcaused a server crash. (Bug #12977)
A bug introduced in MySQL 5.0.12 caused
SHOW TABLE STATUSto display an
Auto_incrementvalue of 0 for
InnoDBtables. (Bug #12973)
On HP-UX 11.x (PA-RISC), the
-Loption caused mysqlimport to crash. (Bug #12958)
InnoDB: A consistent read could return inconsistent results due to a bug introduced in MySQL 5.0.5. (Bug #12947)
Incorrect implicit nesting of joins caused the parser to fail on queries of the form
SELECT ... FROM t1 JOIN t2 JOIN t3 ON t1.t1col = t3.t3colwith an
Unknown column 't1.t1col' in 'on clause'error. (Bug #12943)
Incorrect results could be returned from a view processed using a temporary table. (Bug #12941)
Multiplying a
DECIMALvalue within a loop in a stored routine could incorrectly result in a value of
NULL. (Bug #12938)
GROUP BYwhen selecting from a view in some cases could cause incorrect results to be returned. (Bug #12922)
The counters for the
Key_write_requests, and
Key_writesstatus variables were changed from
unsigned longto
unsigned longlongto accommodate larger values before the variables roll over and restart from 0. (Bug #12920)
mysql and mysqldump were ignoring the
--defaults-extra-fileoption. (Bug #12917)
SHOW FIELDS FROMcaused error 1046 when no default schema was set. (Bug #12905)
UNION [DISTINCT]was not removing all duplicates for multibyte character values. (Bug #12891)
A column that can be
NULLwas not handled properly for
WITH ROLLUPin a subquery or view. (Bug #12885)
GROUP_CONCAT()ignored an empty string if it was the first value to occur in the result. (Bug #12863)
If a client has opened an
InnoDBtable for which the
.ibdfile is missing,
InnoDBwould not honor a
DROP TABLEstatement for the table. (Bug #12852)
Within a stored procedure, a server crash was caused by assigning to a
VARCHAR INOUTparameter the value of an expression that included the variable itself. (For example,
SET c = c.) (Bug #12849)
The server crashed when one thread resized the query cache while another thread was using it. (Bug #12848)
A concurrency problem for
CREATE ... SELECTcould cause a server crash. (Bug #12845)
DO IFNULL(NULL, NULL)and
SELECT CAST(IFNULL(NULL, NULL) AS DECIMAL)caused a server crash. (Bug #12841)
After changing the character set with
SET CHARACTER SET, the result of the
GROUP_CONCAT()function was not converted to the proper character set. (Bug #12829)
The Windows installer made a change to one of the
mysql.proctable files, causing stored routine functionality to be compromised. The Windows installer now never overwrites files in the MySQL data directory. During an upgrade from one version to another, a file in the data directory will not be overwritten even if it has not been modified since it was put there by an older installer.
If you have already lost access to stored routines because of this problem, you can get them back using the following procedure:
Stop the server.
In the
mysql\datadirectory under your MySQL installation directory, and replace the
proc.frmfile with corresponding file from the version of MySQL that you were using before you upgraded.
Start the server.
Start the mysql command-line client (use the
rootaccount or another account that has full database privileges) and execute the
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sqlscript that upgrades the grant tables to the current structure. Instructions for doing this are given in mysql_fix_privilege_tables — Upgrade MySQL System Tables.
After this, all stored routine functionality should work. (Bug #12820)
Queries with subqueries, where the inner subquery uses the
index_mergeaccess method, could return incorrect results. (Bug #12720)
The server failed to disallow
SET autocommitin stored functions and triggers. It is permitted to change the value of
autocommitin stored procedures, but a runtime error might occur if the procedure is invoked from a stored function or trigger. (Bug #12712)
Simultaneous execution of DML statements and
CREATE TRIGGERor
DROP TRIGGERstatements on the same table could cause server crashes or errors. (Bug #12704)
Performing an
IS NULLcheck on the
MAX()of an indexed column in a complex query could produce incorrect results. (Bug #12695)
Use of
EXECUTEwith a statement that selected from a view in a subquery could cause a server crash. (Bug #12651)
If the binary log is enabled, execution of a stored procedure that modifies table data and uses user variables could cause a server crash or incorrect information to be written to the binary log. (Bug #12637)
LIKE ... ESCAPEsyntax produced invalid results when escape character was larger than one byte. (Bug #12611)
mysqldump did not dump triggers properly. (Bug #12597)
InnoDB: Limit recursion depth to 200 in deadlock detection to avoid running out of stack space. (Bug #12588)
mysql.serverscript contained an incorrect path for the
libexecdirectory. (Bug #12550)
UNIONof long
VARCHARcolumns was sometimes returned as a column with a
LONGTEXTdata type rather than
VARCHAR. This could prevent such queries from working at all if selected into a
MEMORYtable because the
MEMORYstorage engine does not support the
TEXTdata types. (Bug #12537)
A client connection thread cleanup problem caused the server to crash when closing the connection if the binary log was enabled. (Bug #12517)
Use of the mysql client
HELPcommand from within a stored routine caused a "packets out of order" error and a lost connection. Now
HELPis detected and not permitted within stored routines. (Bug #12490)
SYSDATE()function now returns the time at which it was invoked. In particular, within a stored routine or trigger,
SYSDATE()returns the time at which it executes, not the time at which the stored routine or triggering statement began to execute. (Bug #12480)
CREATE VIEWinside a stored procedure caused a server crash if the table underlying the view had been deleted. (Bug #12468)
Deadlock occurred when several account management statements were run (particularly between
SET PASSWORDand
REVOKEstatements). (Bug #12423)
InnoDBwas too permissive with
LOCK TABLE ... READ LOCALand permitted new inserts into the table. Now
READ LOCALis equivalent to
InnoDB. This will cause slightly more locking in mysqldump, but makes
InnoDBtable dumps consistent with
MyISAMtable dumps. (Bug #12410)
If a stored function invoked from a
SELECTfailed with an error, it could cause the client connection to be dropped. Now such errors generate warnings instead so as not to interrupt the
SELECT. (Bug #12379)
The value of
character_set_resultscould be set to
NULL, but returned the string
"NULL"when retrieved. (Bug #12363)
On Windows, the server was preventing tables from being created if the table name was a prefix of a forbidden name. For example,
nulis a forbidden name because it is the same as a Windows device name, but a table with the name of
nuwas being forbidden as well. (Bug #12325)
ALTER TABLE ... DISCARD TABLESPACEfor non-
InnoDBtable caused the client to lose the connection. (The server was not returning the error properly.) (Bug #12207)
Outer join elimination was erroneously applied for some queries that used a
NOT BETWEENcondition, an
IN(condition, or an
IF()condition. (Bug #12102, Bug #12101)
Foreign keys were not properly enforced in
TEMPORARYtables. Foreign keys are no longer permitted in
TEMPORARYtables. (Bug #12084)
When using a cursor, a
SELECTstatement that uses a
GROUP BYclause could return incorrect results. (Bug #11904)
character_set_systemsystem variable could not be selected with
SELECT @@character_set_system. (Bug #11775)
A memory leak resulting from repeated
SELECT ... INTOstatements inside a stored procedure could cause the server to crash. (Bug #11333)
Use of yaSSL for a secure client connection caused
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILEto fail. (Bug #11286)
mysqld_multi now quotes arguments on command lines that it constructs to avoid problems with arguments that contain shell metacharacters. (Bug #11280)
The server permitted privileges to be granted explicitly for the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAdatabase. Such privileges are always implicit and should not be grantable. (Bug #10734)
SHOW CREATE PROCEDUREand
SHOW CREATE FUNCTIONno longer qualify the routine name with the database name, for consistency with the behavior of
SHOW CREATE TABLE. (Bug #10362)
The server incorrectly generated an
Unknown tableerror message when for attempts to drop tables in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAdatabase. Now it issues an
Access deniedmessage. (Bug #9846)
Within a stored procedure, fetching a large number of rows in a loop using a cursor could result in a server crash or an out of memory error. Also, values inserted within a stored procedure using a cursor were interpreted as
latin1even if character set variables had been set to a different character set. (Bug #9819, Bug #6513)
The server permitted
TEMPORARYtables and stored procedures to be created in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMAdatabase. (Bug #9683, Bug #10708)
SHOW FIELDStruncated the
TYPEcolumn to 40 characters. (Bug #7142)
References: See also Bug #12817.
A view-creation statement of the form

This is an historical iris I found at an old homestead...probably planted there over 100 years ago. Can anyone identify it?
I am going to an iris show Saturday. I will take a print-out of your iris with me. I have a similar one that I want to identify too.
Lantana they are called Lavender Bounty Iris(Iris siberica)you can find them at http://www.parkseed.com They have it listed as a new plant.

This is a bearded iris, not a Siberian...I did a google search on Lavender Bounty...not it...however, thank you for the input, windsurffer!
take a look at victorian veil at http://www.argyleacres.com
If that's not it, try phalanx: http://www.argyleacres.com/gallery/view_detail.asp?iris_id=361
Regardless of what it's called, it sure is pretty!
Phalanx is almost it but the self is a little more mauve. Mine might have been a parent of Phalanx possibly. I know it has to be very old because this house had not been inhabited for a very long time. It was all rotted and falling down. Someone recently bought the place and took a bulldozer to the house and yard. However, these iris were spared as well as the old chimney which was built of hand hewn native limestone.
