Quick, quote your favorite Bible verse. There is power in what you just said, but the real power is in how we live out the things we read in Scripture. Psalm 23:1 ("The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want"), for example, assumes we have chosen to follow the Lord as our Shepherd. It is pretty hard for us to claim God as our Shepherd if we have no intention of following him.
This brings us to perhaps one of the favorite Scriptures of non-practicing Christians, Matthew 7:1, "Do not judge lest you be judged." It is the ultimate shield of comfortable sinners who do not want to hear anything about sin and its consequences. "Don't judge me!" someone will say, immediately expecting the offending Christian to cringe back behind her or his church pew like a vampire being faced with a crucifix.
The truth is, Christians are not superior to anyone, and have no business pointing the finger at anyone without taking a good look at the remaining fingers pointed back at them. We are, as has been said before many times, "sinners saved by grace." So there is no room in our parking lots for high horses or condemning tones. But there is room for speaking truth in love. Further, there is room for speaking truth from within the boundaries of relationship. A friend is most capable of telling a friend when there is a problem. So when a wrong or offense is spoken of, it is not done in the context of "I'm a better person than you." Instead, a true friend will confront you when you are wrong because she or he does not want to see you dragged down by the problem.
So, when a non-practicing Christian tells me "don't judge me," concerning an area that is definitely outside of God's boundaries, it's almost like asking someone not to reach out a hand to me when I'm slipping down a steep slope. No, I won't condemn you. That's not my place. But sharing the truth in love? You need me to do that. I'm your friend.
Let's make a deal I won't judge you. I won't approach you like I'm this superior person who isn't subject to temptation and "issues" and human frailty. But for your part, if you have no intention of living according to Biblical principles, please don't quote the Bible to me. Matthew 7:1 does mean I should not judge you. It does not mean what you are doing is not sin.

As explained above, the potential effects on retail rates and Pepco's financial condition have not been substantiated as to relative significance. More significantly, while protestors have argued that the local regulatory agencies would be likely to approve rate increases, such a decision is not a certainty. The chairman of the Maryland commission indicated that while the Maryland commission would strongly consider any request by Pepco to recover unpaid purchased power costs from its customers, it would have to hold a formal proceeding to address many factors before acting on Pepco's request, if one is made.

Colangelo ready to move Bargnani

08:09 AM ET 01.31 | Raptors president/general manager Bryan Colangelo may not be done dealing yet. Colangelo made his clearest statement yet that a divorce between he and Andrea Bargnani is closer than ever. ... Bargnani followed up the best season of his career -- albeit an injury-plagued one -- with a disastrous stretch this year, before getting hurt again. It has been obvious for some time that it is time for Bargnani to move on, for his sake and for the Raptors, and Colangelo indicated a move could happen soon, though it is not a certainty. "Andrea is a player that has definitely garnered interest. Unfortunately when he gets hurt that takes him off the market," Colangelo explained after breaking down the [Rudy Gay] trade to reporters.
After he is finished cleaning up his mess Colangelo will get fired and a new GM will come in with no room in the salary cap.
We now have too many swing players, Anderson, Ross, Gay, Fields. We need to make another move to trade for a big. We will take Gasol any day.

Don't quite understand the recent moves, bringing a guy (Gay) that need a strong point guard to complement his play in the open court and on design play, allowing Caldaron to leave for Detroit; a place where he will not be used or valued, when you have a team with a very soft middle and week bench, this trade does not make any sense other than to expect its a trade that values profit more than wins.

Too Soft, Bro.
We now have too many swing players, Anderson, Ross, Gay, Fields. We need to make another move to trade for a big. We will take Gasol any day.
Speak for yourself... trading for Gasol would totally doom the Raptors for another 2-3 years. I should want nothing to do with Gasol and his contract. They can probably get away with trading Anderson now that he is slumping and they have Gay to take away most of his minutes for a serviceable Big

Its good to flip players that are lined to past failure.I think AB can be productive in the right setting, but NOT as the #1 player
Agreed but it's Bargnani's softness and reluctance to even attempt to get a rebound that kills him. Plus the Italian community in the city of Toronto really spoils this kid and now he has this god complex about him... Trading him will benefit both parties involved but more so him then anything as I am sure the Raptors will not get equal value back in a trade for him..

The questions that come to mind are who would want a 10 million a year big man with multiple years left on his contract, that plays on offense like a SG/SF, has no interest in rebounding, and plays matador defense? You might as well put 2 SFs on the floor...at least they would play some D and try for a rebound occasionally.
Amare Stoudemire is yours.

Richard L. DiMeola
Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Consolidated Cigar Corporation
From the Print Edition:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Summer 96
Richard DiMeola, 61, has witnessed firsthand some of the most dramatic changes in the cigar industry. He was working for the largest importer of Cuban cigars to the United States when the Cuban trade embargo was imposed. He oversaw the growth of what became the top selling pipe tobacco in America in a stint at Lane Limited. And he helped rebuild the reputation of Dominican cigars, starting in 1984 after he joined Consolidated Cigar Corp., which today manufactures or imports to the United States Montecristo, H. Upmann, Don Diego, Royal Jamaica, Montecruz, Primo del Rey, Te-Amo, Las Cabrillas and a variety of bundle cigars. DiMeola also has spent as much time on the road as any executive in the industry, talking with people at cigar dinners and cigar stores. His perspective spans nearly 40 years, from the glory days of Cuban and clear Havana cigars in the 1950s to the unprecedented boom in cigar sales in the 1990s. This past January in New York, Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado magazine, explored with DiMeola the complexities of the cigar industry.
Cigar Aficionado: Can you recall Consolidated Cigar Corp.'s annual sales and the number of premium cigars it produced when you joined the company in January 1985?
DiMeola: The company produced 13 million premium cigars in 1984. I remember that because I had researched it before going to see Ronald Perelman, the owner of the company, for what was really my job interview. I remember he asked me, "How many cigars do you think we sell?" I said, "Well, Ronald, I already know you sell 13 million." He said, "Oh, I wish you didn't know that." I know now that he was trying to test me to see my knowledge of the industry. I guess he wished that I hadn't done the research. That's how I remember the number--but it wasn't all sales; some of it represented shipments.
The previous management--just to go back briefly--was Gulf & Western, which had owned Consolidated for years and wanted to divest it. Mr. Perelman wanted to buy it. The deal fell through. Five managers then bought it. They started fighting among themselves--went to court. It was a mess. The court said that three of them could buy out the other two, but then they couldn't raise the financing. Then Mr. Perelman stepped in and bought it, but prior to that, when the five managers were running the company, they were doing things that weren't necessarily good for the long-range benefit of the company, in my opinion. For example, they fired all the premium salespeople in the United States. They turned the distribution over to about 24 so-called importers. This happened in 1983. These importers saw dollar signs in front of their eyes, and bought a lot of cigars in order to handle their newfound distribution. So there was a lot of pipelining going on. Therefore the business was propped up by their pipelining. Then in 1984, they put in two dealer incentive programs to keep that business propped up. So the 13 million done in '84 were not [all] real sales; they were shipments, and a lot of that was pipelining.
CA: What were the real sales?
DiMeola: I don't know. I can tell you that in '85, the business dropped to $7 million. We were probably selling cigars in those days for around 75 cents wholesale.
CA: So it went from $10 million down to $7 million--something like that.
DiMeola: Something like that.
CA: In terms of the brands that made up the 13 million premium cigars--what brands were part of that group in 1984?
DiMeola: Montecruz, Don Diego, Primo del Rey, H. Upmann. There may have been a couple of other smaller ones. Prior to Theo Folz [Consoldiated's CEO] coming on board and my joining, the five managers of the company wanted to make as many cigars as they could using machine bunches.

Boys' job open after Dugger rejoins girls
By Jamie Combs
While Elizabethton High girls basketball can start to slide out from under the microscope, the boys' program is set to attract some good, hard looks.
On Monday, the boys' coaching job was officially posted by EHS principal John Wright — and will remain in place for the standard 10 days.
"From whomever applies, we'll do interviews," Wright said. "And we'll probably do that fairly quickly, and try to get someone in place as soon as possible."
That opening came about after Len Dugger, who coached the boys after replacing Tony Gordon very early in the 2011-12 campaign, elected to return to his former gig of heading up the Lady Cyclones. He announced his decision over the weekend.
"Coach Dugger has obviously made his decision on where he wants to be," said EHS athletic director Mike Wilson. "Now we just need to be sure that we get the best possible coach that we can get for the guys. There's a process that has to be followed, obviously. … We want to look and see who applies, and we'll just do everything in our power to hire the best guy that we can."
After Gordon resigned his post, Director of Elizabethton City Schools Ed Alexander filled the vacancy with Dugger — who had been coaching the girls — and put Wilson in charge of the Lady Cyclones for the rest of the year. The change in circumstances was certainly unique — and topsy-turvy in nature.
"We are certainly pleased that we have Coach Dugger in either capacity," Alexander said. "He has demonstrated that he could do — and do well — with both sets of student-athletes. He stepped into a difficult circumstance and did, just as we believed he would, a good job. He was promised — from the outset of that situation — that he could, at the end of the season, choose which (position) he preferred; and he has now done that."
Previously the boys' coach from 1979 through '95, Dugger was quite successful during that time — averaging 18 wins per year and reaching the 1983 Class AAA state semifinals.
During the four full seasons he called the shots for the Lady Cyclones, he went to two Class AA state tournaments.
"Coach Dugger is going to do well wherever he coaches," Wright said.
Although they were upset by Johnson County in the opening round of the District 1-AA tournament, the Cyclones ascended to the 20-win plateau this past season.
"I appreciate the good work he did with the boys this year," Wilson said of Dugger. "He stepped into a difficult situation and did a great job, and I really appreciate that."
The Lady Cyclones also made it to 20 victories — before bowing out in the Region 1-AA quarterfinals.
"It was an unfortunate situation, with the way everything happened," Wright said. "It's incredible how well both teams performed through the season. But we're really concerned that we get the right people for the boys and the girls — we don't take it lightly for either one. (The boys' job is) one of the harder positions to coach in the city of Elizabethton. We have such a good football program, so several of our players play football way up into the season. Our conference is tough, too. The boys conference is extremely tough."
An arduous position it may be, but job seekers aren't likely to be in short supply.
"We've had interest in this position already, and we will pursue all those that apply," Wilson said. "Or anyone who has questions about the position that would like to talk to myself, or I'm sure Mr. Alexander or Mr. Wright, we can talk to those individuals and answer any questions they might have. Then they can decide whether they want to fill out an application and pursue the position or not."
Although names have to be kept under lock and key at this juncture, the list of early candidates packs a rather solid punch.
"I have been highly impressed with them," Wright said.
With a date to begin interviews not yet determined, Wright plans to squeeze in as much up-front research as possible.
The person who lands the job should be walking into a situation geared for immediate success. The squad loses all-conference player Justin Wandell, but no one else.
"It's not like the cupboard's bare," Wilson said. "It's not a job that's unattractive."
Despite the desire to make a hire as quickly as possibly, Wright conveyed there will be no rushing into a decision. Getting someone with high school coaching experience is a preference, and the ability to do more than "win games" will bolster one's chances.
"We want somebody who cares about building up these young students and making them men, really," Wright said. "Character counts quite a bit. Every coach chews you out, but they need to be able to build up people. We want somebody who can teach fundamental basketball and hopefully be a good game coach — and a good part of the community and here at school. Sort of a whole package."
There's also the educational aspect to consider.
"We have to find somebody who fits into our teaching options here," Wilson said. "We don't know what all those are just yet."
Noting there could be a little flexibility in that realm, Elizabethton's AD touched on the importance of finding a coach interested in sticking around for a good while.
"Stability is really important," he said. "Right now, more than ever."

Probably be someone in "The Circle" lol The administration down there kinda reminds me of the messed up situation the UT program has recently been through. Coach Dugger is a amazing coach and they shouldn't have messed around after the Hardin move and gave him the boys job then. Then again they did get rid of the best baseball coach they have ever hired in Gil Payne. Mike Wilson was about to get ran out of town with the way he coached the boys basketball team so they had to make a move and make sure "the circle stayed together" and give him coach Payne's job as AD…o well just sayin ..Its hilarious if you really think how things go down in Etown
There is only 1 player who plays football that plays Varsity Basketball……"Several" Geez looks like you all would get your facts striaght before talking to the press. No wonder the program is in shambles!

|L'Arrivée à Saïs
Berlioz held traditional religion in contempt, but something of the biblical story of Herod's massacre of the innocents and the Holy Family's flight into Egypt seems to have struck a chord and resulted in one of his most beautiful works. Indeed, Berlioz compared his 'trilogie sacrée' to the illuminations in medieval missals: he saw it as an aid to contemplative devotion. L'Enfance du Christ is one of Berlioz's most popular and enduring works. The renowned Corydon Singers and Corydon Orchestra, under their conductor and founder Matthew Best, are joined by a first-class team of soloists.
'I hear on all sides that you have plucked a nosegay of the most exquisite blooms of melody, and that all in all your oratorio is a masterpiece of simplicity.
So wrote the German poet Heinrich Heine to Berlioz about LEnfance du Christ. Heine had previously criticized Berliozs music, calling the composer a colossal nightingale, a lark the size of an eagle. Indeed, for me there is something primitive if not prehistoric about Berliozs music. It makes me see visions of mammoths and other beasts long extinct, fabulous empires of prenatural depravity, and many a cloud-capped, impossible wonder. Regardless of the merits of Heines hyperbole, he recognized that LEnfance du Christ is something very distinct in Berliozs oeuvre: tenderness and simplicity pervade almost the entire work. Berlioz, we know, held traditional religion in contempt, but something of the biblical story of Herods massacre of the innocents and the Holy Familys flight into Egypt seems to have struck a chord and resulted in one of his most beautiful works. Indeed, Berlioz compared his Trilogie sacrée to the illuminations in medieval missals: he saw it as an aid to contemplative and devotional meditation.
By any standards, LEnfance du Christ had a strange and rather singular genesis. The work was not planned as a whole and came about almost as an accident. The first music to be composed, and undoubtedly the most well-known due to its ubiquitous use at carol services, was LAdieu des Bergers à la Sainte Famille, but even this has a peculiar history. Written in 1850, it was originally an organ piece written in a friends album at a party. Attracted by its pastoral, naïve mysticism he decided to rewrite it and put appropriate words to it. It was performed at a concert in November 1850 but not with Berliozs name attached to it. Instead, he claimed it had been written by one Pierre Ducré, master of music at the Sainte-Chapelle, 1679. The audience was apparently taken in by the ruse, which only goes to show that their knowledge of seventeenth-century music must have been even worse than Berliozs, if we are to believe he had even imagined that the sophisticated harmonic progression at the climax of each strophe of this little gem could have been seen as in any way authentic of that period of French composition. Nevertheless, Berlioz kept his counsel for two years before relishing the reaction to his announcement of the true authorship. Soon after this concert Berlioz added a movement for tenor, Le Repos de la Sainte Famille and an overture, all three pieces being lightly scored. He named this small work La Fuite en Egypte and it was published in 1852.
Berlioz wrote no music in the next three years, being exceptionally busy conducting, travelling and writing prose. He also seems increasingly to have feared the commitment of composition. Thus the work might have remained in this state had it not been for a trip to Leipzig in December 1853 where the full version of La Fuite en Egypte was performed for the first time. His friends there were so captured by the short work that they urged him to extend it and so Berlioz composed LArrivée à Saïs, the eventual third part of the trilogy which he dedicated to them. In order to balance the work, the newly composed section being much longer and weightier than La Fuite en Egypte, Berlioz immediately planned the opening part, Le Songe dHérode, relating the events that forced the Holy Family to flee Bethlehem.
Such a compostional history could have resulted in a disparate work. Whilst it is true that each section of the trilogy has its own particular atmosphere and character, to some extent brought about by the differing orchestral forces, Berlioz was remarkably successful in unifying the various strands to create a convincing and dramatic whole. Crucial to this was his use of a tenor narrator (Le Récitant) who, especially in the second and third parts of the trilogy, binds the action together, thus avoiding a potential series of set pieces. Musically, Berlioz achieved unity by creating a motivic interplay both within and between the various parts of the trilogy. If not quite on the same scale as the use of idées fixes seen in such works as the Symphonie fantastique and Les Troyens, Berliozs thematic transformation in LEnfance du Christ has a clear structural and dramatic purpose. Thus, for example, the opening theme of Le Repos de la Sainte Famille in La Fuite en Egypte derives from a figure in the preceding LAdieu des Bergers and the figure which opens LArrivée à Saïs is a reworking in alla breve time of the fugal subject of the Overture to the second part. Moreover, the work has a consistent compositional style, in particular in its use of fugal techniques and modality (most notably heard in a tendency to flatten leading-notes) that Berlioz undoubtedly employed to lend a certain authentic feel to the oriental setting of the trilogy.
The first part of the work, Le Songe dHérode, is the most explicitly dramatic with its stage directions and theatrical incidents as well as a larger orchestra than in the rest of the work. An introductory recitative leads into the first scene, the Marche nocturne, depicting soldiers patrolling the streets of Jerusalem. This is the first of many fugues in the work. At its climax, Polydorus, the commander of the patrol, bemoans his fate of being compelled to serve Herod in his state of delusion. The second scene takes us into Herods palace, the orchestral introduction capturing perfectly, in its use of a short string figure for ever shifting to a new tonic, Herods state of mind as he tries to banish his recurring nightmare. The opening recitative leads into an aria Ô misère des rois, one of the most moving moments of the entire work as it depicts Herod suffering from the torment of power. The main theme, consisting of short phrases in sequence lacking any sense of cadence, and hence of repose, is first heard in the violas and cellos but recurs to haunt the texture in a variety of instrumental guises, most notably on the clarinet in the next scene where Herod is describing his dream to the soothsayers. Herods vocal line is often accompanied by trombones, just as was Mephistopheles in La Damnation de Faust.
The fourth scene, Hérode et les Devins, is a typical example of Berliozs gift for portraying the exotic and sinister; a splendid, swirling 74 depiction of the cabalistic procession and exorcism shrieks into the soothsayers pronouncement and Herods edict to massacre the children. At the climax Berlioz introduces a distorted fanfare ending on a diminished-seventh chord from which the music subsides, again without a cadence or a release from the tension. The contrast between this and the next scene, Létable de Bethléem, could not be greater. Here, for the first time, we encounter the lilting triple metre with which the Holy Family is associated as Mary and Joseph sing beguilingly to their child. The first part ends with a chorus of angels, accompanied by chamber organ, warning the parents and telling them to flee. Here Berlioz achieves a remarkable effect with the distant choir fading away as they chant their final Hosannas.
The second part of the trilogy, La Fuite en Egypte, entirely set in triple time, is much more thinly scored, using just strings and woodwind. It also makes more use of modality as can be seen in the Overture, a fugue that contains some beautiful antiphonal effects between the two sections of the orchestra. The famous LAdieu des Bergers leads into Le Repos de la Sainte Famille which depicts the Holy Family at rest on their journey into Egypt; this contains one of Berliozs most wistful themes, first heard in the violins after the opening dialogue between strings and wind. The phrase is repeated by the narrator as he relates Marys joy at finding so delightful a place to rest. This remarkably affecting movement again ends with the angelic choir as they sing Alleluia and watch over the Holy Family on their travels.
Part Three, Larrivée à Saïs, maintains the light orchestration of La Fuite en Egypte but with the addition of bassoons and timpani. A fugal introduction sung by the narrator leads into a vivid portrayal of the anxiety and weariness of the Holy Family as they attempt to find shelter and food in Saïs. Again in triple time, their desperation is brought out by the plaintive, wailing viola figure set against a moto perpetuo accompaniment, and by the upward transposition of their entreaties each time their request is rebuffed. Help is found as they are ushered into the house of an Ishmaelite family and, after a welcome from the father (one of Berliozs few one-dimensional characters), the chorus launches into a fugue with ingenious cross-rhythms. The father calls for music and a delightful interlude for two flutes and a harp follows before the chorus wishes the Holy Family good rest. Here Berlioz comes closest to the cloying sentimentality which mars so much nineteenth-century religious music, but this is redeemed by the final scene. A series of long-held mysterious notes on the strings leads into a contemplation of the wider meaning of the whole drama by the narrator. His entreaty to adore the holy mysteryÔ mon âmeis taken up by the choir in a rapt epilogue before the angels introduce the final Amen.
LEnfance du Christ proved to be Berliozs most popular work. Certainly it has a unique character within his oeuvre, but, as the composer points out in his Memoirs, this is very much due to the subject-matter:
With the exception of the Revue des deux mondes (whose music criticism is in the hands of a monomaniac, and whose editor cordially detests me) the entire press was favourable to me on the occasion of my latest work, LEnfance du Christ. Some people imagined they could detect in this work a complete change in my manner and style. Nothing could be more mistaken. The subject lent itself to a mild and simple kind of music. That was why they found it more accessiblethat and the development of their own taste and powers of understanding. I should have written LEnfance in the same way twenty years ago.
Thus Berlioz always maintained that LEnfance du Christ was always true to his style. Again to quote one of the most revealing passages of the Memoirs:
The predominant features of my music are passionate expression, inward intensity, rhythmic impetus, and a quality of unexpectedness. When I say passionate expression, I mean an expression bent on reproducing the inner meaning of its subject, even when that subject is the opposite of passion and gentle, tender feelings are being expressed, or a profound calmthe sort of expression that people have claimed to find in LEnfance du Christ.
Passionate expression is still present in LEnfance du Christ; it is just that it is expressive of something different, something much more tender than we find in most of the rest of his oeuvre.

Jimmy McL - formerly "JetSet Jimmy" "Vasser Salon and John Roberts " - I have been a devoted customer of Jim for 30 years - I would not let anyone else cut my annoying hair - he turns my mess into something that gets a lot of comments - he is the best and now that I am a "mature"woman, he is keeping me looking my best - talented, experienced and knowledgeable = don't waste your money anywhere else and with ANYONE else. Jim has magic hands and HiTech has him - great salon experience.
Horrible hair cut for my 8 yr daughter and they charged more for her than i pay elsewhere for myself. On my way now to get her hair fixed at a good salon.
The people are rude! My son went in to get a haircut and the lady who was supposed to cut it refused.
Excellent Experience – I am new to the area , when I saw a woman in my zumba class that had a great haircut, I asked where she went. I went on line to get the # and when I read the reviews, I almost didn't go, since there were some pretty bad reported experiences What a mistake that would have been......I just went today and it was fabulous! Jackie was great and talented, the salon was warm and friendly and even gave me a gift when I left. I would certainly recommend Hi Tech over and over again. Rita
Just got back from spring break!! Got so many compliments on my toes. You have got to try it!!
Thanks Hi Tech for my Glitter Toes!
1 Happy Blonde! – I had my hair colored and had hi lites put in as well. Thanks to Hi Tech and their knowledgeable staff I am able to keep my mousey brown hair a beautiful blonde shade while maintaining its health and shine!
Time to move on! – After 13 or so years I've had enough. They're just overpriced & offer little as far as customer service/customer satisfaction go. This is the place if you want layers, I'm convinced that's all they (Laura B)know. It's hard to swallow when you go in with the anticipation of coming out with a new or different "do" to come out with yet again, the same blah hair cut (The Rachael are we still in the '90's). You can tell them what you'd like or how much you want trimmed or how you spent the last 6 months growing out your hair/layers for this new look but it goes in one ear & out the other. They get so caught up in conversation that they turn on their autopilot mode & do exactly what you didn't want...AGAIN. Don't bother complaining, they'll only ask you again what is was you wanted & tell you it'll be the right length for that style next time. And DON'T bring your kids here, they charge no differently. The hair styles of some the women who work there are chic, but what about the paying clients?
3 Horrible Experiences – 1. My regular hair stylist was on vacation, and I desperately needed a cut. I decided to go to High Tech to check it out and boy was I disappointed. The girl who cut my hair did a horrible job. I was a walk in so she didn't have time to blow dry. Later after it dried I noticed it was horribly uneven.
2. I decided to go back to the salon a few weeks later and have my cut fixed and highlighted. The stylist remarked on how horrible the cut was, and how the girl who had cut it was new and they should have a talk with her. She just evened up the cut, but charged $45! I thought that was outrageous, because they messed it up in the first place, and she hardly cut my hair! I wouldn't even say it came close to a trim! She spent a total of 5 minutes on it. Then, the highlights. I said subtle, and natural looking, which apparently translates into bright red & unnatural looking.
3. Holy Cow. What do I do? The next week I called the salon, said I wasn't happy with the results and would like to pay to have it fixed. Apparently this woman doesn't listen to a word I say, I again repeated that I wanted something subtle and natural and that the red made me uncomfortable. I walked out there with even worse results. They were just a deeper brighter red. I was speechless.
All in all, within 10 minutes of being home from High Tech I went straight to CVS, bought box dye and returned my hair to its original color. $220 down the drain. High Tech has the prices of an upscale salon, but lacks the atmosphere and expertise.
Wonderful Experience – Had a Total Makeover.... Drove by there many times decided to call for an appointment Had my Hair cut from Long to short .. colored and hilighted after an extensive consultation with Lou , I have never had so many compliments on my hair Thanks Hi Tech
bad news. – The stylists here all seem to by stuck in the late 90's. The woman who butchered me had zero knowledge of current trends, spent all of 15 minutes on what would have, in another (better) salon, been at least an hour long haircut. I hate to leave such a scathing review but if I can save one person from the trauma I experienced here, it was worth the negativity. Sorry Hi-Tech, I have but one word for you-

Are you one of those people who are chronically uncertain about what to give to your loved ones for Christmas? Do you feel that old flowers and chocolate stereotype already was worn out around the time when Armstrong won over Aldrin in rock-paper-scissors? Or maybe you're tired of all those digital presents with not-that-smart smartphones and MP3 speakers that look like something between a pineapple and Yogi Bear's unknown cousin? Not to mention all those tablets flying all over the place like modern boomerangs in a family friendly battlefield?
Well, how about a rooftop tour in Stockholm inner city? Talk about a truly top gift.
With simple and retro aesthetics I made these posters through Accidens on behalf of upplevmer.se. The posters are for communicative purposes carried out in two different languages and measure 70x100 cm. They will cover inner city Stockholm towards and during Christmas 2013.Poster design
For the 2013 Stockholm Pride I had the honour to develop the base for the campaign material including the visual concept and manner, the logotype, the colour scheme, and the posters. Together with the talented and pleasant guys at Flatmate Web Agency, who also were responsible for the web campaign, and Yay! Brand and Design Agency, we worked through the material along the core values 'family', 'embracing', 'vibrant' and 'dazzling' to achieve a modern adaption of the hippie culture.
The main poster honours, and is an updated and playful homage to, The Beatles classic album cover for their 1967 release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. All poster parts are all the way through handmade, man-made and are carried out through hands-on work. No shortcuts, no botchiness, no wangling.
For the campaign's head typeface we used a specially adapted version of my Sammelsurium font, customized and tailored for the purpose. The typeface is handmade and then specially worked out in detail for this particular use.

This year's theme is the family. Families can be based on biological ties, on love and on friendship. We can call them star families, nuclear families and rainbow families. There are the families we choose and those where we just happen to find ourselves. The hub of the family is our relationships to each other. With this year's theme, we want to highlight the different ways a family might be and talk about how a family can work. The family can be seen as a flock, a community and as a stable fixed point. A family might not only consist of our emotional ties, but also of economic and practical considerations.
We want to shift the focus from the traditional image of the nuclear family to what the various families in our society today actually look like. We want us to dare to talk about the situation within the family, about how love is not always enough to keep us together. We want to talk about the opportunities for creating new families and reflect on what is considered to be a family. Since all families are different – can we use the nuclear family as a concept today and if so, what does it mean?Branding2013

As a retrogressive reaction to the technology development in the world today, I made these not-suitable-for-reading-on-the-bus booksters, where written words will remain written. They'll not get digitialized and hidden away in some music-flipping-pod-slash-picture-showing-browsing-machine.
Instead, I took it back to where it all began. With characters old school printed on old school pieces of paper.

They're 100% natural, they're tall, they're long-lived, they're massive – they're fir trees.
Through a cooperation between Packaging Mid Sweden and myself we created this packaging concept for fir tree sprout giveaways on behalf of Åkroken Science Park.
If you'd like to get hold of one of these sprouts yourself and become a happy owner of your own fir tree, I'm afraid you'll have to take a hike into the forest and dig up one of these bad boys, since the giveaways became so popular that they
all were given away at the SPCI 2011 fair – the world's leading pulp and paper event.
A full-grown fir tree can become over 400 years old and by that one can establish that most fir trees outlives their
owners. And that's actually an understatement since researchers have found rare fir tree root systems with an
age of over 9.000 years.
Talk about a giveaway that really stands the test of time.Giveaway2011
