Lately, I've been spending my lunch hour at a bar. Not that kind of bar. I'm referring to John Barrett Salon's recently opened Braid Bar. As its name suggests, the bar (actually, just stylists and their chairs), offers braids—but these are no ordinary braids. At my first appointment, I perused a "menu" full of every kind of twist imaginable from a braided updo a la Nicole Richie to milkmaid plaits to dreamy, loose side braids. (Could I replicate these styles at home? Not a chance, but you may be more nimble-fingered than I.) So far, I've tried three different looks (this Katie Holmes version might be next) and have managed to avoid looking like a von Trapp child.
The salon charges $45 for braids (more if you want your hair washed and blow-dried too). So the service is cheaper than most blowouts, and faster too; in the hands of my stylist/braid guru, Kayley, my appointments have taken less than 30 minutes each. And the braids have staying power. (The secret: Wrap your head in a silk scarf before bed to keep your style secure.) I recently sported my plaits on a trip to Austin, Texas, where temperatures reached 112 degrees. The 'do survived four days—through the incredible heat, a canoeing trip, and a sudden windstorm. Sure, my hair was so full of bobby pins it set off alarms at the airport, earning me a full-body pat down. But it was totally worth it.

Can you imagine a day when you'd ask a cow to see its ID? That day may be coming sooner than you think. Because of mad cow disease, there's a move to create a national identification system for all animals sold for food.
Many cows are not infected with mad cow disease, but soon they and any other U.S. animal that is sold for human consumption will likely have to wear an electronic version of a tag.
"It's not exactly like going to the supermarket and reading a barcode, but something kind of similar," says Doug Mayo.
The idea of tracking animals' farm origins began as a way to limit the effects of bioterrorism, but the first case of mad cow disease in the U.S. has forced federal regulators to consider it as a better way to trace diseased cows.
Cattle producer Mack Glass says he's only concerned about not being able to pass along some of the extra cost as his cows make it into the food chain, but he says other local cattle producers aren't taking it quite as well.
Then there's also the cost of cows getting skinny waiting to be processed and priced. A skinny cow means lower profit. In any case, no one is complaining too loudly.
President Bush has proposed a $33 million budget item towards the id system and it seems the consumer safeguard may also be a safeguard for the meat industry.
"If we had a disease outbreak right now, we have no way of knowing which animals have been in contact, so we'd have to just quarantine huge areas."
The first phase of the national animal id system will likely be in place by July for cattle, pigs and poultry. Later phases may also include horses and catfish.

Duplicate Ticket Policy
For tickets lost or misplaced, a face value fee per ticket will be charged for each ticket duplicated. If the original unused tickets are mailed to: Sun Devil Ticket Office, PO Box 872405, Tempe, AZ 85287-2405, within two weeks of the event, only a $5 per ticket charge will be assessed. Only credit cards will be accepted for reprint charges. Season ticket holders will be permitted one reprint at no charge. We reserved the right to refuse this service to anyone that is found abusing this policy. Stolen tickets must be reported in advance of the game to the ticket office and a stolen property report filed with the police. The ticket office will then issue duplicates at no charge.
Single Seat Policy
In order to properly manage our seat inventory, our ticketing system will not allow any purchases that leave a single seat in a row (i.e. you cannot select 2 seats in a location where there are only 3 seats next to each other, as that would leave a single seat). Due to the existing amount of single seats, this policy must be strictly enforced. If a purchase is made of seats that are not in consecutive order, we reserve the right to adjust the selection to eliminate any single seats in an effort to maximize seating capacity.
Refunds and Exchanges
The Sun Devil Ticket Office operates under a basic NO REFUND/NO EXCHANGE policy.
Market Pricing
Market pricing may apply to tickets. Rates can fluctuate based on factors affecting supply and demand. Prices increase on the day of game.
Reserved Wheelchair Seats
Accessible seats are spaces specifically designed for wheelchairs and include features such as an accessible approach, location at grade, clear floor space, and larger dimensions.
People with mobility disabilities who require accessible seating because of their disability are permitted to purchase tickets for accessible seats. This group includes people who use wheelchairs, those who use other mobility devices, and people who cannot climb steps or walk long distances because of significant arthritis or severe respiratory, circulatory, or cardiac conditions. Individuals who, because of their disability, cannot sit in a straight-back chair or those whose service dogs cannot fit under a non-accessible seat or lie safely in the aisle are also permitted to purchase accessible seats.
By purchasing these tickets you are attesting that you require the features of an accessible seat. Fraudulent purchases of accessible seat tickets can result in, relocation, expulsion from the event, and/or expulsion from all future events.
Rain-Out Policy
Tickets are valid for the contest until such time as the game is called either by Sun Devil Athletics officials or umpires.
If the game is postponed, the ticket will be good for the make-up of that game.
If the make-up game is not possible, fans may trade in their ticket for a general admission seat for a future game, based on availability.

Cerberus to Sell Gunmaker Freedom Group
The private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management said on Tuesday that it would sell its investment in the gunmaker Freedom Group in response to the school shootings last week in Connecticut.
Cerberus acquired Bushmaster the manufacturer of the rifle used by the gunman in the Newtown attacks that killed 27 people, including 20 schoolchildren in 2006.
The private equity giant later merged it with other gun companies to create Freedom Group, which reported net sales of $677.3 million for the nine months that ended in September 2012, a 20 percent increase compared with the same period last year.
Sorkin: Wall Street, Invested in Firearms, Is Unlikely to Push for Reform
How Freedom Group Became the Big Shot (Nov. 26, 2011)
It is apparent that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a watershed event that has raised the national debate on gun control to an unprecedented level, Cerberus said in a news release.
The private equity firm said it had made the investments in gun manufacturers on behalf of its clients, which include pension funds and other institutional investors. Cerberus added that it was the role of legislators to shape the countrys gun policy.
We believe that this decision allows us to meet our obligations to the investors whose interests we are entrusted to protect without being drawn into the national debate that is more properly pursued by those with the formal charter and public responsibility to do so, Cerberus said.
The private equity firm said it would retain a financial adviser to sell its interests in Freedom Group, and would return the proceeds to investors. Cerberus, based in New York, was founded in 1992 by William Richter and Stephen Feinberg, and has more than $20 billion of assets under management.
Cerberus is one of several private equity firms that have holdings in gun manufacturers. Colt Defense, which was spun out of the maker of the .44-40 Colt revolver, is jointly owned by Sciens Capital Management, a fund advised by the Blackstone Group and another fund operated by Credit Suisse.
Tuesdays announcement follows a statement from the California State Teachers Retirement System, a large pension fund, that it was reviewing its investment in Cerberus in light of the firms holding in Freedom Group.
At this point, our investment branch is examining the Cerberus investment to determine how best to move forward given the tragic events of last Friday in Newtown, Connecticut, a spokesman for the Californian public pension fund told Reuters on Monday.
Cerberus to Sell Gunmaker Freedom Group - NYTimes.com
Black Blade: I remember when Cerberus was going to IPO "Freedom Group" and there was a lot of interest. Now they will sell the division for much less than they would have going public. I thought it was stupid to pull the IPO as public companies like Sturm-Ruger (RGR) and Smith & Wesson (SWHC) shares soared (in fact RGR has been a 8 bagger for me since 2009). Keep frosty people - the forces of evil are aligned against us.

The uphill path for the people of Congo
View from the road – cocoa trees amongst the forest
Onsite in Watalinga DRC, in the Rwenzori Mountains
Theo has made an ongoing commitment to sourcing cocoa from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Together with our partner, Eastern Congo Initiative (ECI), we are creating access to markets for Congolese cocoa farmers, helping them improve their crops and strengthen their businesses and lives.
Our periodic trips to origin build our relationships with farmers and partners and are a necessary part of doing business transparently. In March of this year, Nathan Palmer-Royston, Theo cocoa sourcing manager, and Dennis Macray, Theo sustainability advisor, traveled to Watalinga, a mountainous region along the Ugandan border, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They met with farmers, visited smallholder cocoa farms, conducted cocoa quality trainings with ESCO - our export partner, and brainstormed programmatic developments with ECI.
While Dennis and Nathan were traveling in Africa, our product development team back in Seattle was developing our Congo Confection Collection, designed for Mothers Day and inspired by the women of Congo (a portion of each box's sale will benefit ECI's work with women in the region). With women's empowerment at the top of our minds, we asked our team to share their impressions of the women's lives they encountered in Congo:
From Nathan:
The first thing that really struck me was just how incredibly remote this region is. All electricity comes from generators, all water is carried in from the nearest stream, and the roads out to the cocoa farms are only wide enough for a motorcycle. So as we were making our way to the farms, we would drive as far as the road would allow, then finish the last 40 minutes on foot through dense jungle battling the powerfully hot equatorial sun. The next realization was that we were traveling the same route that all of the cocoa travels to reach market… on foot.
Cocoa pods are carried out of the farms by foot, harvested all by hand
At times the trail was so steep we struggled to keep our footing on the worn dirt path. At one point we asked our farmer host if people ever fall down to which she responded with a chuckle, "When it is raining the only thing to do is fall." It's just incredible that these communities can bring their products to market at all.
The main path connecting a cocoa community with the nearest marketplace a few kilometers away
…And all of the cocoa is carried by women. It seemed that women in the DRC carry everything. They carry children, produce, water, charcoal and cooking oil, construction materials, cocoa, plantains, tomatoes and cassava to the markets. They carry everything, that is, but money, which is traditionally managed solely by the men in the family. Based on what we've heard from both men and women in small-holder agricultural communities around the world, including women in family financials has important potential to benefit the entire family and to empower women.
We work in Congo for many reasons (you can taste how delicious that work can be), but particularly because it is an area of the world that can greatly use our help.
From Dennis:
"The DRC ranks at the bottom of the UN's Human Development Index. Those within the country that have the least power, typically women and children, are often the last to get what they need, from maternal and childrens healthcare to education and basic services. During our travels I observed the daily routine of women who were up early, preparing meals with nothing more than a single cooking utensil and an open fire, collecting food and fuel during the day, carrying water long distances, and caring for children, while also managing other aspects of their homes and livelihoods. If we can continue to work with our partners on the ground, like the Eastern Congo Initiative, to provide important income to farmers and their families in a way that benefits women and children and increases the welfare of their families and communities, the uphill path will be less difficult and lonely."
Approaching our work in Congo holistically and utilizing the on-the-ground expertise of our partners at ECI, we are working to make a positive difference for people of the region. Buying Theo's Congo products may seem small, but the impact of your choice echoes across the world.
Stay tuned for more on our work in Congo, learn more about ECI's work here and buy your Mom (or anyone you love) a Congo 4-piece confection collection! $1 from your purchase price goes directly to ECI, supporting their work with farmers, mothers and families in eastern Congo.

At 8 one morning in July, Ann Tuennerman strides into a conference room in New Orleans's historic Hotel Monteleone. It's the day before the kickoff of Tales of the Cocktail—or Tales, as bartending cognoscenti call it—the convention Tuennerman founded 10 years ago, which has since become the cocktail industry's premier event. Over the next five days, Tales will host 60 seminars and serve 7,793 bottles of liquor (mixed, shaken or stirred) to 23,000 mixologists, bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts who have descended on New Orleans from around the world.
"Stand up!" she says to the 49 staff members, some lolling on the floor, others still trickling into the room. Many are interns or seasonal staff and very young. "We've got to get motivated! When we say the meeting starts at 8 am, we do not mean 8:02! You have been handpicked, and you need to be on your game." She speaks with a lilting Southern drawl, so what comes out of her mouth sounds sweet even though it's stern.
Fifteen minutes later, meeting concluded, Tuennerman zips through the lobby, back to her temporary office on the hotel's mezzanine, gold flip-flops thwacking. She stops to talk to Jeff Grdinich, who's in charge of doling out hundreds of different cocktails in two-ounce shots to attendees. At the registration room, she gives a pep talk and instructions to the nine-person crew. "Don't leave your post without letting someone know!" she says. By 9:55, new lipstick applied, flip-flops swapped for heels, Tuennerman is comfortably ensconced at a table in the hotel's bar for a TV interview. "I was inspired by a passion for New Orleans dining and drinking," she tells the newscaster. "There was nothing that celebrated all the famous cocktails started here."
Born and raised in New Orleans, Tuennerman graduated from the University of New Orleans with a marketing degree in 1986 and took a job doing -promotions for local radio and television stations. "I had no budget, so I learned how to find partners and make events happen," she says. Her productions attracted a lot of attention. "But I'd pitch ideas, and the powers that be would say, 'We can't do that.' And, you know, I don't fall in line that well. I wanted to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it!"
After marrying her first husband in 1993, Tuennerman began to look elsewhere to satisfy her boundary-pushing, entrepreneurial side. In 1997, with help from her mother and a loan from the Small Business Administration, she bought a dog-biscuit-bakery franchise called Three Dog Bakery. She launched it in New Orleans using the kind of event-based, buzz-generating ideas that she loved, like opening pop-up shops in the local mall. "But the business didn't catch my attention enough that I wanted to do it long term," she says. "I love planning, getting something off the ground and then going on to the next thing."
By the time she sold Three Dog Bakery three years later, Tuen-ner-man was brewing a new idea. Inspired by a coffee-table book about historical New Orleans bars, Obituary Cocktail, by local photographer Kerri McCaffety, Tuenner-man came up with the concept of hosting cocktail-based walking tours. "So many famous spirits and cocktails were invented here," she says, "and there are stories tied to them." She teamed up with Gray Line tours, hired Joe Gendusa, a tour guide with a reputation as a great storyteller, and started the business in 2002.Over the next year, 200 to 300 tourists a month paid $24 to sip cocktails and hear stories about classic drinks like the Ramos Gin Fizz and the Sazerac and visitthe city's glorious watering holes: Napoleon House, the Monteleone's Carousel Bar and Ar-naud's French 75 Bar. The events were so successful that they sparked yet another idea: What if the tours became part of an annual gathering that celebrated spirits, cocktails and bartenders from around the world and that educated professionals and cocktail enthusiasts about industry trends and crafting recipes? With classic cocktails getting a dust-off in popular culture and the word mixologist entering the lexicon, Tuennerman felt the time was right to launch Tales of the Cocktail.
"I cold-called the top 10 mixologists in the country," she says. She persuaded them all to come and also convinced a liquor company, Southern Comfort, to sponsor the conference for $20,000, enough to reserve space in the Hotel Monteleone and pay for airfare and rooms for her star mixologists.
That first year, about 200 attendees were given free entrance to the one-day event. "Everybody had a great time, and it was small, but they all said, 'This is terrific! You need to do this again!' " says Tuennerman. "And I said, 'OK, great. We will!' "
Each year the conference got bigger. But as it started to stretch beyond the ballrooms and Carousel Bar of the Monteleone, Tuennerman's decade-plus first marriage began to slip. "In June 2004, my husband told me he was done," she says. "Despite the fact that I had been the breadwinner for some of that time, I was scared." She responded by taking action: She bought her first house on her own—a little fixer-upper in the Lakeview neighborhood—and got to work making it a home.
Then Hurricane Katrina smashed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005, nine days after the conclusion of the fifth Tales conference. Tuennerman's house survived, but flooding left it uninhabitable. Through her mixologist contacts, she landed a three-month marketing gig in New York City, working for a coffee company. She rented an apartment there and tried to rebuild her life. "I'd go to the bank or the cell phone store and wouldn't be able to do this or that because I'd lost all my documentation," she says. "I'd wind up having a meltdown in public." She had her New Orleans house gutted and planned to rebuild when she returned. But her dream job—Tales—appeared to be over. The sponsor that had supported the conference since its inception pulled out. "I had a serious cry—not the little-tears-down-your-face kind but the what-are-you-going-to-do panicked kind," says Tuennerman. "And then I thought, Well, we're just going to make it happen."
When she returned to New Orleans on January 1, 2006, the first thing she did was move the event up a month so it wouldn't coincide with the anniversary of Katrina. She also changed the business model: Tales would now charge an entry fee. She found several sponsors, and she completed the paperwork to turn Tales into a nonprofit organization whose mission would include preserving New Orleans's unique drinking and dining culture and hosting educational programs for bartenders.
In the midst of it all, friends introduced her to Paul Tuennerman. A blue-eyed bachelor from Florida who worked as an executive in the food industry, he was immediately smitten. "I was 45 and driving around in my Italian sports car," Paul says. "I wasn't looking! But I'm the luckiest SOB out there. Ann is the most tenacious person I know. She thinks she can will anything to happen. The woman is tireless. She works till 11 or 12 every night and is up at 5 am." Within a few months of their first date, she asked him to lend her $15,000 for Tales, and he agreed. (They married in 2007.)
Tuennerman cashed in her 401(k) and dumped her entire savings—$80,000—into relaunching Tales. She also took out a $100,000 line of credit and borrowed $10,000 from friends. Despite the city's devastation, 4,000 attendees showed up in 2006—500 more than pre-Katrina. In 2008 she introduced an apprentice program in which up-and-coming mixologists could work side by side with industry stars like Dale DeGroff, Gaz Regan, Audrey Saunders, Simon Ford and Jim Meehan. And she established a scholarship program: One $5,000 grant is funding the creation of an online database and smartphone app that will let bartenders quickly hunt down recipes. She also wrangled a declaration from the Louisiana legislature making the Sazerac the official cocktail of New Orleans.
Tales' impact now reaches way beyond the city. It has become a professional society, and that was "way overdue," says DeGroff. "Tales has given a community to this growing, worldwide profession. Pre-Prohibition, there were 1,500 spirits; today there are 6,000. You need so much more education now."
Tales has also been financially rewarding for Tuennerman. In 2007 she made $35,000, and she was deep in debt. But by 2011 she had paid back everybody she borrowed money from, including her husband, and cleared the line of credit. She has three full-time employees and pulls in a salary of $85,000. "One thing about New Orleanians—don't underestimate us," Tuennerman says, laughing. "We're gonna be OK. We'll figure it out, dust ourselves off and come back. That's how we heal."

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CTech Perfect These curtains add the perfect amount of texture to my living room. The light color brightens the room, and they filter the light nicely when they are closed. The grommets at the top add a nice modern touch. A little pricey (typical World Market), but they're good quality, and they look great! March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cutesmartnerd These curtains are beautiful These curtains are everything I hoped for. They hang nicely, and provide enough coverage while still allowing light into the room. They are absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for curtains to brighten a space but still maintain privacy, these will not disappoint. December 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by deedrag Great Buy I'm very pleased with how these look. I had a hard time finding 96 inch length curtains that I liked and that were affordable. These fit the bill though. I like the neutral color against a colorful area rug in my room. Plus they are slightly woven, so they also let the sunlight in the room. They are perfect. March 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debbie81 Bori Curtains I have purchsed the Bori curtains in Ivory and earlier in the natural burlap look. I love both sets of curtains. They are just the right weight. They hang well and were exactly the lengh advertised. I hung them on a week night and was going to steam them on the weekend but they were straight and wrinkle free after a couple of days hanging. January 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Acanthus Lovely but smelled These curtains are elegant and hang beautifully. The only problem was the chemical smell, which took days of airing out the room before it went away. It finally did, though, and now we're really happy with them. December 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Becka Short, but I love them! I didn't realize this size was so small - they hang about a foot off the floor - but they worked out perfectly because we have animals who would get them dirty and tear them down otherwise. The fabric is good quality, and they lay very well. Overall, I love these curtains! December 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Serena Love these curtains! These curtains are exactly what I have been looking for. Not opaque but still let light thru. I have hung them over a patio door. Great price too. November 1, 2012

Item has a Minimum Qty
great visor
I wanted maximum sun protection, so found this to be the broadest brim I could find. Velcro closure allows me to attach visor to strap on purse or pack while hiking. Detachable forehead band is good for washing. I recommend this visor!

Hat not good quality
The hat came very crushed and looks like it was sewn improperly. Could not return because packaging and receipt was accidentally recycled. Not please at all.

wide brim sun visor
What's great about it: This is the best visor ever:1. It has a removable, washable, terry cloth forehead piece, where you sweat most.2. It has a velcro adjustable headband for different hair styles, making it easy to put on versus having to pull it on over the head.3. It has a very wide visor, making it useful in the sun.4. It's light weave is less likely than cloth to dirty or stain.5. It's attractive. I've gotten more compliments on it, people ask me where I bought it.What's not as great about it:1. They don't ship to Guam, my work residence. Had to ship to Hawaii, my permanent residence, and have a friend to ship to me.2. They have only three colors: red, black, Navy, and Navy looks black.I would love lilac, violet, purple, crimson, emerald, etc.
Shari A.
Honolulu, HI
Nice visor. Not really my style, but it sure does block out the rays on a hot summer day! The extra wide brim is a great sun blocker. True to fit for a womens head. Definately recommend if this is your style. Velcro rear enclosure structure. Slightly adjustable.
Extra wide brim to cover entire face. Love that the sweat band is removable to be washed! Met all my expectations!
nice wide brim
I thought the brim would be a little stiffer. It works great and has a wide brim.
Houston, Tx
I had lost this hat last summer and was so happy to have found it!!!! It is the BEST HAT ever!!!

Frosh center Kaitlyn Parks totaled 17 points and 15 rebounds while sophomore guard Stella Ghazarian dropped in 15 points. Reserve freshman guard Desiree Loving added 12 points and six assists.
Other Lancers contributing were transfer guard Angeline Jefferson with nine points and three assists, first-year forward Brandi DuBose with eight points, four rebounds and three steals, sophomore guard Kahlia Theus totaling six points and five steals, and reserve freshman forward Averie Alice-Guzman chipping in six points.
Compton was led by Maylasia LaShaul, who scored 10 points. PCC used 18 steals to help force 35 Tartar turnovvers. The team also did a good job moving the ball offensively in dishing out 24 assists as part of its 35 field goals made. The Lancers made 10-for-12 from the free throw line (several on one-handed attempts for an 83.3 percent success rate.
PCC plays at El Camino College (Torrance) this Friday, Feb. 8 in a 5 p.m. SCC tilt.
