You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'sun hats' tag.
On Wednesday after getting the biopsy, the doctor started stressing that I be more active in my sun protection. That was the plan. It's still summer here in California but I put away the tank tops. I started looking for hats. That was a joke. Almost none, and what was there forgive me but I thought they were butt ugly. I finally took one that in my opinion was the lessor of the evils and here is what I decided.
Baseball caps shade from about your nose up. It provides nothing for the sides (cheek area and ears) and nothing for the neck. Those cute almost Fedora like ones have almost no brim so no coverage. All that is left is your mother's sun hats. Those are cute on the beach but how do you wear them with jeans and a tee?
Oh well, not that I have ever had the greatest fashion sense. As a kid, I wore what was comfortable and what we could afford. I have to admit that as an adult not a whole lot has changed. Although, the truth is I think it is comfort over value these days.
So my glasses came in yesterday. YUCK. It's going to be a long year until I can get another pair. The lenses were spot on, nice and dark. (Sunglass dark.) But the frames, wozzers as inspector gadget use to say. They sit so far out on my face that there is an opening above my eye and below, which doesn't help the light sensitivity. Yet as I have been without anything (with the lovely headache that goes along with it) even a small relief might be worth something.
So yesterday on my way home from class I was listening to the car radio when a song by the band Sugarland came on called 'Stand back up.' At that moment, I thought it was the soundtrack of my life. But as soon as I thought it I realize there was a different one a couple of years ago and realized movies don't just have one why should someone's life have only one.
- Stand Back up – Sugarland
This is my Eye of the Tiger song. It reminds me that even as life gets so rough that I get knocked to the ground, I am still here. As long as I am then I keep fighting.
Favorite line –I've weathered all these storms, But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly,
- Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield
A thought, a nudge to say only I can define who I am and what story my life will take. Good or bad, it's my story.
Favorite line – No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in
How many times have you said that quick prayer "I promise…. If only I can have or don't let it be. And it either doesn't happen or happens any way. And it turned out to have something come of it you wouldn't trade for the world.
Favorite line –Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he doesn't care.
Where Stand Back up is about not giving up when the world is determined to knock you down, this one reminds me there are battles and goals I want to fight for and win. Favorite line – There's always going to be another mountain and I am always going to want to make it move.
- We Shall Be Free – Garth Brooks
This is my Man in the Mirror song. With so much injustice we tend to think there is nothing we can do. This reminds me where my line in the sand is.
Favorite line – When this world's big enough for all different views
- Live Like You were Dying – Tim McGraw
You can either wallow in the difficulties or you can use every last moment to live life to the fullest. But remember no man is an island and how you behave will affect those who love you.
Favorite line – And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
- If Today Was Your Last Day – Nickleback
Same thought as Live Like you are Dying but this one is more about not allowing yourself any regrets.
Favorite line- Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So what is the soundtrack to your life? Don't worry you're not committing to anything because tomorrow the could change.

I will be adding scans of all 50 photos on my Lost Faces website so be sure to watch that space. The photos will join the dozens of other antique Civil War era photo albums I've rescued.
As for the photographers, I'm fascinated by their design logos and their work. So far I've found a nice little bio of M. J. Bixby the photographer of some of the unidentified photographs in the album.
Published on a Rootsweb mailing list:
Smith and Rann, 1886
page 932
BIXBY, MARQUIS J.--Castleton,was born in Shalerville, O., in 1835 ,he came to Mt.Holly in 1841 and learned the photography business in 1863, in which year he moved to Castleton, and has at different times since carried on the photography business at Poultney, Ludlow and Burlington,VT. He enlisted in Ludlow,VT, in Company C, 16th Vermont Volunteers in 1862, served until August 1863, when he was wounded at Gettysburg and was at once awarded a pension. He purchased his present summer resort on the shore of Lake Bomboseen (sic), and erected his hotel in 1877, and it is now one of the most inviting places for a quiet rest and fishing pleasure there is in the
vicinity. He also has a large picnic grounds and ample accommodations for all, and also a large supply of boats. He is to be found eight months
a year at his photography studio in Castleton. His wife is JULIA MILLS, daughter of FRANKLIN MILLS of Bolton, Lake George,N.Y., to whom he married in 1865. They have a daughter, FLORENCE M. , born in Poultney, VT., October 4, 1866. He was the son of ARMESETUS BIXBY, of Mount Holly, Vt., who moved to Ohio in 1834.

We didn't intend to buy a houseboat! We're sailors! We just needed a slip with power since the dock we were on at a marina on Lake Ouachita in Arkansas shared a 110 power source. Then a sailboat down the way would plug in an electric coffee maker and pop the breaker. What were they thinking? No sailor worth their salt would be caught dead with an electric coffeemaker! So we went from marina to marina looking for a slip with power all our own. When we arrived at Spillway Marina (now know as Echo Canyon) we saw an old houseboat at the end of the dock with a for sale sign posted in the window. We fell in love with the slip. We knew nothing about houseboats. So we made an offer to the owner who came back with reasons we should pay more for that boat, and we told him we didn't want the boat, just the slip. He took our offer so now we had two boats.
We went in and were amazed with the room. Remember we were in a small sailboat with a V-berth and tiny head. This thing had room! It's a 1972 Stardust Cruiser, steel hull, 13 by 50 and a large deck on the front. We started restoring the boat and fell in love with our new home.
Lake Ouachita is located just north of Hot Springs, Ark., and is one of the top five cleanest man-made lakes in America. There are several marinas and since it's surrounded by forest and Corps of Engineer's land, no building is allowed. You can camp anywhere along the lake or on one of the many islands the lake has to offer. It's a great houseboat lake with many coves and shoreline to tie up to and explore.
We use our boat all year long. Very seldom do we miss a weekend so we wanted it to fit our needs. We painted it with the proper paint in all white, then added the nautical shutters and painted the rails to match the color of the shudders. The enclosure added a new room for the winter with the use of an electric heater on the front deck. A box was built for the propane tanks as required by insurance and for the boat survey. Insulated windows were replaced on almost every window and helped tremendously with heat and cooling bills.
The last time we took the boat out with our family the outdrive fell off! It only happens when you have guest. It was still attached, but only by the boot. Now I heard enough horror stories about the boots going and the boat right behind them straight to the bottom of the lake.
When we had it hauled out to replace the outdrives, we had to find two that matched. My husband David searched eBay and found one in California and one in Pennsylvania that had a buy-it-now price and we did! Bought both of them and had them delivered for under $1,000.
We removed the bunk beds and added storage for tools on one end and a pantry on the other. The cabinets are a set of upper kitchen cabinets that can be removed if the beds are ever needed. We rent our guest a cabin for their privacy and ours.
We replaced the carpets throughout the boat, and the bunk bed windows with one large insulated window.
Oh the projects we can get into! I didn't like the old wall board and had seen enough of Amy Mathews on DIY that I was sure we could tackle this little shower/tub area. Three weekends later with me constantly saying, "Amy says to do it this way," finally David asked, "WHERE IS THAT AMY?" But we got it done. New tile and fixtures over cement board. David said if there's ever a storm, get in the tub. It's not going anywhere!
The first thing we did in the head was to install a holding tank. Next we replaced the countertop and the big bulky medicine cabinet with two smaller ones on each side of the sink and turned the faucet behind the sink. Then we added a mirror and new lights above.
In the kitchen, we painted the cabinets and added nautical rope hardware. Soon after we moved in, we found out that the stove wasn't working. It knew one temperature-full blast! It never shut off, so that had to be replaced and we went with an apartment size that converts to propane. We replaced the countertops then saw the same countertops in a new boat at the boat show. David added the shelves under the window for more storage on both sides of the kitchen. I use the window fan to exhaust the heat and that keeps the kitchen cool even in the hottest summer.
A table in a narrow boat takes up a lot of valuable space. We replaced the 12-inch cabinet with the microwave on top with a full size cabinet and new countertop. We wrapped the kitchen with a bar under the windows that gave us extra storage and counter space. This is my favorite spot to work in the kitchen. Under the large cabinet, we added the cabinet trash container to keep the trash out of site.
We have a variety of lighting in the area including natural light from the windows and track lights above the work space/bar area. The rope lights are around the ceiling, the work light over the sink, and of course 12-volt for when we take the boat out.
The sun damage was a problem when we bought the boat because of the lack of curtains. We added insulated liners behind the drapes, which are really shower curtains. We cleaned and oiled the walls to refresh the wood where we decided to keep the paneling.
This is now my favorite place to sit. We added a split lounge chair so that we could remove the back section when we're ready to take the boat out. After removing the old carpet, we added the laminate flooring with a rug runner through the salon and kitchen. We recently replaced the old metal windows with insulated windows; the sweating and fog covered problem was solved. We added nautical shutters outside on each side of the windows to compensate for the width the new windows needed. David built a tower for the TV and other components, then added a fireplace/heater under the tower. Rope lighting was placed all along the living room and kitchen above the trim at the ceiling.
We placed a freezer with front door on the end of the loveseat recliners that also serves as an end table.
After removing the air conditioner from the window that blocked a beautiful view, we moved it to the other side of the room over the vanity. We moved the bed under the back and replaced it with a centerline queen platform bed for storage under. Shelves were added on each side of the bed. Insulated windows and insulated curtains keep it cozy inside no matter the weather outside.
We only see lake and mountains, sky and wildlife (and not the dock kind!). We've seen deer swim across the lake, eagles almost fly into our windows and swoop down to pick out a fish, and largemouth bass under our boat corralling the shad for a meal. The shore is filled with deer and herons, geese and other types of birds. We have made some of our best friends from the dock neighbors.
We have the area under the floor to tackle next with new water heater, new fresh water tanks, larger holding tank. We also want to put a party top on for trips out in the summer, but right now we enjoy the stars.
Are we finished? No! Our marina was recently bought and new docks are being built as we write this, which means our boat will be moved in a new location in the marina with a different view. Like my husband says concerning the boat, "Mess with us and we'll adjust!"
So we're thinking about a sunroom on the front deck! This means we'll have a dining room for the winter and a living area on the front deck with a glass surround for a view in any direction we're facing. A good quality older boat is an opportunity waiting for someone to love it and to give life and beauty back. Maybe even better than it was before.
It's still a wonderful place to get away for a quiet time and retreat from the busy lifestyle we have. I'm so glad we became houseboaters!

Roller Shades are one of the most recognizable types of window treatment around. Even if you didn�t grow up with them in your own home, you were sure to see roller shades at Grand Mom�s house or your favorite Uncle and Aunt�s place. And if you are a coffee lover, the Starbucks down the street is sure to have them.
There are Roller shades made with vinyl, fabric or laminate and their thickness varies depending on the purpose they are used for. Insulating roller shades are thicker while those used strictly for privacy can be thinner. Roller Shades come in a wide variety of styles, colors and textures and coordinates easily in any room.
Roller shades have become quite popular once again (Grand Mom would be pleased) as they offer an economical, simple yet aesthetically pleasing means to cover windows and doors.
Among the added benefit is that Roller Shades offer also economical window privacy. Roller shades can be ordered with an extra layer of blackout fabric, which will block out all light from a room, or simply use light filtering shades to keep excess light out.
Last, but not least, roller shades are easy to install. In most cases, homeowners themselves install the roller shades, eliminating the added cost of professional installation. Thus, it can be both elegant and affordable to get a discount roller shade and accentuate it with a nice drapery panel.
We recently added an economy roller shade line to our premium line of roller shades, and I would be happy to discuss what roller shade best fits your needs!

Update 13/9/07. Re technical problems with ezproxy servers:
We actually know what these problems were and how to solve them – basically, the firewalls for many of the institutions there are just set in such a way so that the Darwin Streaming Server traffic can't get through until the IT staff of each institution bypasses us, which they can easily (well, theoretically!) do by putting DRAM in the network bypass table. There are two public addresses needed for that:
The public addresses are: www.dramonline.org 188.8.131.52
and shib.dramonline.org 188.8.131.52.
....we may be able to implement a workaround by the end of this year – basically, if we move from Darwin streaming to "progressive downloading" which runs over a different port so this step becomes unnecessary.
Update 31/7/07:
Our migration testing is now complete, and please use www.dramonline.org going forward, if you have not already made this change. We are able to track usage statistics at our new address and are maintaining only this site, so it is important to use it going forward.
Instructions for proxy server settings are available at: http://www.dramonline.org/dram/_html/about/proxies.html
Update 19/7/07:
1. Permalinks: the beginning of the syntax is different (www.dramonline.org instead of dram.nyu.edu). The old NYU links will work after we migrate, but it is best to use the new links.
2. Proxy servers: instructions for EZProxy and Innovative are available at: http://www.dramonline.org/dram/_html/about/proxies.html
If [anyone] needs assistance with another kind of proxy, we can try to help to get things working.
3. Log-in screen: Users will soon no longer have to click an extra page to logon if they are within a valid IP range. This was a remnant of the original Shibboleth system, which most participants are not using. We are therefore simplifying logon.
Because development is now in-house, we hope to have basic statistics ready by around September (or earlier) and a Flash player by early next year at the latest.
Update 7/9/07: We now have basic DRAM statistics and I have posted these to: http://www.dramonline.org/dram/_html/about/stats.html
A downloadable Excel version is available on this page. Please note these statistics do not include Shibboleth or username/password accesses because our current system does not allow us to gather those statistics.

How to get rid of "Untitled - MyApp" in MFC
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
To get rid of the "Untitled" alone, you can override the CDocument virtual function "SetTitle" as shown below.
void CMyDoc::SetTitle(LPCTSTR lpszTitle) { CDocument::SetTitle("MyTitle"); }
This will produce a main window title of the type "MyTitle - MyApp". But perhaps all you want is "MyApp".
(AfxGetMainWnd( ))->SetWindowText("MyApp");
The problem with this approach is that MFC in its infinite wisdom will reset your window title to the "Document - App" default as soon as a document object is constructed. If you care to change MFC's default behavior ( not advised ) look up WINMDI.CPP; it's the culprit.
Finally, you can overwrite the CFrameWnd virtual function "OnUpdateFrameTitle" in your apps CMainFrame class. Bud Milwood, a friend of mine, pointed out the function's very existence when I was loosing my sanity browsing the MFC online help. Don't try to look up "OnUpdateFrameTitle" in the Microsoft Developer Studio online help. It's not there. So use it merrily, but use it wisely, subsequent versions of MFC may not support it. The following code snippet shows how...
void CMainFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle(BOOL Nada) { // get app name from string table resource //---------------------------------------- CString csAppName; csAppName.Format(AFX_IDS_APP_TITLE); // Set caption of main frame window //--------------------------------- SetWindowText(csAppName); }
Another and probably safer method has been brought to my attention by Stephen Michael Schimpf at CyberSky.Simplenet.Com. You can modify the window style in 'PreCreateWindow' as follows:
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { cs.style &= ~(LONG) FWS_ADDTOTITLE; return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs); }

HealthBridge workers to return to jobs March 3
Workers at five nursing homes operated by New Jersey-based HealthBridge Management will return to work on March 3, after months on strike, even though they still don't have a contract.
"People are thrilled," said union spokeswoman Deborah Chernoff. "They have been away from their jobs and their residents for eight months. It has been incredibly difficult and stressful."
In early July, about 600 union employees of the five facilities -- West River Health Care Center in Milford, Long Ridge in Stamford, Danbury Health Care Center, Newington Health Care Center and Westport Health Care Center -- walked off the job in response to HealthBridge instituting a "last, best and final" contract after more than a year of unsuccessful negotiations with the union. The union representing the workers, New England Health Care Employees Union, District 1199, has argued that the contract was unfair and was illegally implemented.
Late last year, U.S. District Court Judge Robert N. Chatigny granted an injunction to restore the caregivers to their prior positions and halt HealthBridge's implementation of the contract. However, no date was set for their return and HealthBridge made several attempts to appeal the decision.
The company's requests for an emergency stay were first denied by Chatigny, then by a three-judge panel convened by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, and finally by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The eight-month strike was part of a long battle between the union and HealthBridge. Previous to the walkout, HealthBridge locked out employees of West River for 14 weeks.
After the strike started, the company accused workers of acts of sabotage at the Danbury, Newington and Long Ridge sites.
Chernoff said the battle between the union and HealthBridge likely won't end once the employees return to work, as a new contract still has to be negotiated.

Vick's lawyer told a Virginia bankruptcy judge this morning he expects Vick to be released to a halfway house "any day" -- which means he could be out from behind bars several months before the end of his 23-month prison sentence at Leavenworth.
Vick could end up serving the rest of the term in Newport News, Va.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons would not confirm the early release plans, but his lawyer seems pretty damn sure of himself.
Think he has plans for the Super Bowl?

Osaka, Japan, October 29, 2010 – Turkey upset powerhouse China in four sets (19-25, 25-14, 25-20, 25-17) in their opening match in Pool D at the FIVB Women's World Championship at Osaka Municipal City Gymnasium on Friday afternoon.China came into the match ranked third in the world and with Turkey down in 22nd, it had all the makings of a mismatch yet Mehmet Bedestenliogu's charges had other ideas as they overcame a 1-0 deficit in emphatic fashion to claim a stirring victory. Turkey's Neslihan Darnel, the top scorer at the 2006 world championship, closed out the match with an ace and led the scoring with 26 points overall (22 on attack). Seda Tokatlioglu added 18 (all on attack). For China, Li Juan and Xue Ming both recorded 16 points, while teammate Ma Yunwen contributed 15.FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official page
Turkey had an 8-7 lead at the First Technical Timeout (FTT) of the first set and the contest went back and forth before China surged into a 21-16 lead. The Asian side then closed out the set with a prodigious strike from Ma who finished the opening set with five points – the same total as Xue and Turkey's Darnel.Turkey were 16-10 up by the Second Technical Timeout (STT) of a second set that featured some lovely rallies and that the impressive Turks secured with a nicely placed tip by Naz Aydemir. Into the third set and China won a wonderful rally to cut Turkey's lead to 11-10. Li Juan showed impressive fortitude during the rally after taking a shot right in the face but recovering to keep the ball in play shortly after. When a nice block by Bahar Toksoy put Turkey in front at 24-18, China responded with two points and then called a timeout. But the Turks were unfazed and ended the third set on a spike by Tokatliogu.The fourth set was closely fought with Turkey leading 13-11 when China took a timeout to try and regroup. Yet Yu Juemin's side were not able to reduce the deficit and went into the STT trailing 16-13. Turkey then scored three straight points to make it 19-13 and although China responded with two points of their own, it was already too late.This was an impressive showing by Turkey, who executed several option plays to perfection during the match. Coach Bedestenlioglu has formed a cohesive unit who showed great team spirit throughout and can look ahead to facing Russia on Saturday with increased confidence. China, meanwhile, will try to bounce back when they face Canada.

Traditional stalwart Kheltica, a Phnom Penh-based folk band, offers an "entente chordial of musical traditions from France and the British Isles." And they're bringing their sound to the Mansion on 7 June, 2014.
It's an eclectic mix of songs and dances from Brittany blended with traditional Irish and Scottish folk music is rivaled only by that of the band's make-up: a singer and a mandolin player from Scotland; a British piper; Brazilian drummer; South African bass player; Malaysian pianist, and French flautists. "We had a Khmer violinist," says Jean-Claude Dhuez, said flautist, "but since he got married, he's disappeared!"
Bassist Andre Swart stopped by FCC to discuss the band and the upcoming show.
FCC: Who is Kheltica? How has the band evolved over time since it first started?
Andre: I joined in 2011 and I've been with the band three years now. This is the latest incarnation of Kheltica. The original one started in 2007/2008 with our flute player Jean-Claude. He's the last standing member of the original band. It started off quite differently. It was an acoustic and small Celtic band. With the new band, it's grown into a big ten-piece, composed of people that are all over the world. We cover all the continents, except Antarctica.
FCC: What's your background? How'd you come to Cambodia?
Andre: I came in 2011 just looking for a change. I'm from South Africa. On my second night I was in Phnom Penh, I went to Score Bar and saw Kheltica play. Months later they posted an ad and I wrote in and joined the band. One of the major reasons I'm in Phnom Penh is because I joined the band. My original plan was Thailand, but once I started meeting people in the music scene, it sold Phnom Penh for me.
FCC: Talk about your life as a musician and your role in the band today.
Andre: I play bass guitar and guitar in the band. I had never heard Celtic music before. A lot of what we do is the French-Brittan side of music. In South Africa I'd never heard of it before. It's kind of what attracted me to it in the first place. I wanted to try something new. It was challenging, but once you get into the swing of it, it's like every style of music. Once you are familiar with the style and get into the groove of it, it's pretty easy to know the songs.
FCC: What's the history of Kheltica?
Andre: Jean-Claude is the band leader and he's the original member/founder and he absolutely loves and lives for Celtic music. He's not even from the Celtic part of France but he learned to play the flute because he loved Celtic music so much. A lot of people come into the band through him. He's got a lot of friends in the French embassy. The French musicians come in and the embassy says "Hey, speak to Jean-Claude." It's more of a social club, more than just a band. Anyone who wants to come can come to our rehearsals on Wednesday[email@example.com]. It will never be a big money making band, but it's not about the money, it's about the social club feel.
FCC: Who are the band members currently?
- Jean Claude- Flute & Whistle
- Daniel- Flute
- Sarah- Whistle
- Tracy- Violin
- Angie- Piano
- Chris- Vocal & Guitar
- Andre- Bass & Guitar
- Toma- Bass & Drums
- Luis- Drums
FCC: Describe the "style" of Kheltica.
Andre: We play Celtic music, which stems from Ireland, Scotland, and into France and Brittany and northern Spain, which falls into the Celtic arch. We play music from all these parts. Just now we started to do Northern Spanish songs, because it's got that Flamenco-Spanish flair to it. Celtic music is staying the same and changing all the time. We don't stick to the traditional way that it's played. A lot of it is our own interpretation, and depending on our instruments we have to play. Like any music or art form it's always moving and changing, never standing still.
FCC: Where do you play in Cambodia?
Andre: We play everywhere. A big night is St. Patrick's Day. This year we played at Paddy Rice. One year we did Paddy Rice and then FCC. That was a long day. Our audience is split up. We've played Irish weddings, Burns Night (haggis) Scottish, we played at Le Creperie for a French Celtic evening. We played a fundraiser on a boat. In the past Jean Claude organized a Celtival, where he brings a band over from France and they collaborate with local musicians. We put on shows at Wat Phnom's outdoor stage. There might have been 2,000 people, locals and foreigners. We played and the band from France played. We've had a lot of really successful shows. We were also flown up by the French Cultural Institute of Laos in Vientiane for Fest Noz, a Brittan festival. They flew the whole band up for the weekend. Usually we play in Cambodia. We don't gig that regularly. Maybe once or twice a month, depending on where we get shows, because it's hard to get everyone together. It's always a challenge. We never know who's available to play.
FCC: What type of shows do you most enjoy?
Andre: I personally enjoy the smaller, more intimate shows we do. It captures the essence of the Celtic style. We've done quite a few shows completely unplugged, in places like Opera Cafe. We crammed the whole 9 or 10-piece band in Opera, where band members were playing at tables next to audience members. For me it's always nice to play big crowds but I love the smaller shows we do where we connect with people and can play and talk with people in between them.
FCC: What do you like most about life and music in Phnom Penh?
Andre: Phnom Penh has a unique music scene. What I've found in other places is that there's always the cliques of musicians, where if you're not part of those musicians you can't play in those venues and with those musicians. But with musicians here it's very open. I've played music before but here it's like a World Music University. Even here we have a Brazilian drummer, a Malaysian piano player, two French flutists, a whistle player from the UK, a Scottish singer . . . just in Kheltica, I'm playing with people from all over the world, exposed to styles and rhythms and ideas of music that in my own country I'd never in a million years come across. Come here and you stumble on a whole world of music. You can learn much here, grow in any direction you'd like.
I play in quite a few bands. Grass Snake Union, Joe Wrigley and the Jumping Jacks, and I also play with Mwauka and the Gang, as part of "the gang." I play in a Chinese band too, Malaysian Chinese. The lady who plays piano in Kheltica, and her husband and two daughters all play music. We played at Koh Pich City Hall, a wedding, just a few shows around. Sometimes it's high pressure. Like I said, it's World Music University. If you're willing to jump in the deep end you'll learn anything.

Workforce Solutions honors Ludlum Measurements, Inc. as Employer of the Year
On Wednesday, Dec. 19, Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas Board met to present awards to regional employers and recognize local initiatives at the regular scheduled board meeting. Ludlum Measurements Inc., located in Sweetwater, was recognized as the Employer of the Year for their reputation of supplying radiation detection and measurement equipment throughout the world and their dedication to the Sweetwater community. This year, Ludlum Measurements, Inc. celebrated their 50th anniversary. On Feb. 14, 1962, Ludlum Measurements, Inc. was instituted in Sweetwater by Don Ludlum. The Oklahoma-born, Kansas-bred founder's early life encounters in business practices and customer service from his grandfather and father paved the way for Ludlum to glean experience.Through his formidable years in a Colorado high school, Ludlum found an interest in science and math. He eventually majored and earned a degree in electrical engineering from Kansas State University and later joined the Army, both of which would extend his industrial background.Upon his discharge from the Army, Ludlum was employed with a radiological company in New Mexico for five years. His commitment to customer service, to some extent, led Ludlum to part ways with the company in order to begin Ludlum Measurements.In 1961, the search began for a town that could serve host to the business. With his father beside him and his young family in mind, Ludlum sought a town with a surplus labor pool and low-cost buildings. Initial considerations were in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, but the mild climate of West Texas during a cold winter lured him to evaluate the area.Beginning in Odessa and traveling east, a Big Spring winter storm prompted the Ludlum men to venture further east. They ended up at Starr's Restaurant in Sweetwater — the only place open for business due to the weather — and scoured the area.The city was small, but had big potential. The quality school system — along with good law enforcement and city services — convinced the young father to settle his family in Sweetwater in January 1962.After arriving in town, Ludlum began his work on his first design, the Model 3 Survey Meter. On Feb. 14, 1962, the company was established and by July of the same year, the design was completed. Then, he drove to Dallas to purchase equipment for a machine shop.Once production had begun, the company transferred in 1975 from its original site on East Broadway to its current location on Oak Street. Today, Ludlum's occupies a number of restored buildings around town — which were originally abandoned or not in use— not only for its central work but for a majority of its other departments.The institution has expanded, thus making both a State-side and an international impact. With seven divisions and over 500 people employed, facilities are based in Texas, Tennessee and in Uxbridge, United Kingdom.The company is also represented throughout the world in over 85 countries by sales personnel as the product line has continually grown. The birth of the Model 3 Survey Meter has blossomed to a full line of radiation detection instruments which serve a number of markets.Since its inception, longevity has played a key role in the company in both products and personnel. In addition, the company has been heavily influenced by family, as well its goal in continually meeting the individual needs of their clients through strong customer service.Their attainment of customer service has proven successful in the last half-century, but also serves as a challenge in the future. However, the commitment to individual clients will continue as the trait has been handed down to the new generation of family and staff.Also passed down within Ludlum Measurements is community involvement. At the helm of leadership, Don Ludlum has served in his church and in a number of civic roles, thus motivating the staff to volunteer in organizations within the community. Ludlum Measurements also is a major sponsor and is very involved in the BEST robotics competition in Sweetwater. They are members of the local Chamber of Commerce as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.And the efforts haven't gone unnoticed. In 1986, Ludlum was recognized as Sweetwater's Outstanding Citizen. Fifteen years later, in 2001, the company was given the title of Business of the Year, largely in part to the employees' community efforts.The combination of customer commitment, efficient employees and civic service is just one of the reasons the company has thrived for 50 years under its original leadership.Also recognized was Loadcraft Industries LTD from Brownwood with the Local Employer of Excellence Award for their internationally known manufacturing facility located in Brady, Brownwood and Early, which specializes in mobile drilling rigs and trailer manufacturing related to oil and gas exploration from the San Juan Basin in New Mexico to the deserts of Oman.The Abilene Disability Advisory Committee was recognized with the Service to Business Award for improving access to workforce services and increasing the employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Abilene Regional P-16 Council was recognized with a Service to Community Award for development of a kindergarten readiness workbook.The board submitted all these awards as nominations for their category at the recently held Texas Workforce Commission's annual workforce conference on Nov. 28, in Grapevine. In addition to the program, representatives from the Community Foundation of Abilene presented a grant award in the amount of $15,000 to the West Texas Innovation Network in an effort to support Veteran Entrepreneur Training in the region.The Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas Board is one of 28 boards in the state charged with oversight and policy-making responsibility for workforce and training programs in a 19-county region. Additional information on the board's economic development efforts or services for business customers may be obtained by calling the Workforce Board at (325) 795-4200 or by visiting the website at www.workforcesystem.org.

We culture vultures out here on the West Coast may think we've got it good with the opening of Ann Magnuson and Kenny Scharf's big East Village West show opening at Royal/T (and we do!) but New Yorkers have something pretty amazing to attend this weekend also:
"IN ALL OUR DECADENCE PEOPLE DIE" is an exhibit of fanzines that were given to members of Crass between 1976 and 1984, plus original punk-era artwork by Gee Vaucher. The exhibit also features a new audio installation from Penny Rimbaud. Curated by Johann Kugelberg
As someone who was a huge Crass fan (I saw them fuckin' live, how many Americans can claim that?) this looks like something that can't be missed! (Except, drats, I will miss it as it closes right before I get to NYC next month! Awk! Quel bummer for me.)
The exhibit opening and talk will be held tonight but is already closed to more RSVPs. The exhibit continues daily until October 20th, hours 11am to 6pm.
Boo-Hooray, 265 Canal St. #601, New York, NY 10013

We discussed this in the AFL thread a while back.
Basically you put in your tips like regular but your results are based on the odds for the match so let's take Geelong ($1.26) vs Essendon ($3.75) first round,
if you tip Geelong and they get up you get 1.26 points, if you tip Essendon and they get up you get 3.75 points.
So who's in?

"Playing for Keeps" tells the story of a has-been soccer star whose career is foundering and his income has hit rock bottom, but who is a completely nice man with none of the character flaws that soccer stars, even Scottish ones, have been known to possess. He doesn't drink too much, his temper is under control, and he's not a skirt-chaser anymore.
That's for sure. The plot sets it up so that one beautiful woman after another hurls herself at him. George (Gerald Butler) has settled in Virginia to be near his former wife, Stacie (Jessica Biel), and their son, Lewis (Noah Lomax). One thing leads to another, and George, who we learn in the opening credits was a bona-fide international star player, ends up as the coach of Lewis' soccer team.
If George's life was eventless before, after he starts coaching, he finds himself all too busy. The grandstands contain not only Stacie but several sexy divorcees and unhappy wives. Consider this all-star lineup: Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Judy Greer.
These middle-aged women are all so sex-starved, they prowl after George with a number of strategies, including straight-out stalking, and in the case of Zeta-Jones, career counseling. She thinks that her connections in Connecticut with ESPN could land George a tryout and maybe a sportscasting job, which would then have the benefit of relocating him to another state and clearing the field of her rivals.
What feels decidedly odd during the course of "Playing for Keeps" is that George has no apparent response to these repeated seduction attempts. The film makes the reason for that obvious in the fullness of time, and it should be obvious to you as you're watching, but I suppose it ventures into spoiler territory. One thing it isn't is a surprise.
That leaves room for comment on the three most important supporting performances. Young Noah Lomax is solid and capable as Stacie and George's son, joining the apparently limitless ranks of gifted child actors. Is there a cutoff age after which young actors lose the gift of seeming spontaneous and natural?
Jessica Biel all but steals the show as Stacie, the former wife, now engaged to an apparently swell guy named Matt (James Tupper), who at one point makes a surprisingly generous and kind statement. Stacie is the one character who doesn't seem largely on autopilot and manages to leave room for doubt in a film without much room for that.
Then we come to Carl (Dennis Quaid), husband of one of the women in George's fan club, who qualifies as a millionaire bully. He also has a son on the team, gets all puffed up about the fact that that his son has an ex-star for a coach and tips George with a red Ferrari convertible. Quaid uses his sneaky, too-sincere smile, uses his wealth for leverage and is a genuine jerk. So that's good for something, in a film that's pretty much from the assembly line.

The House of Representatives was back Tuesday after a two week spring recess, and Democrats and Republicans are again sniping at one another, insisting they have the antidote to a sluggish economy.
"Americans all across the country - no matter where they're from or how old they are - are struggling to achieve a better life for themselves and their families,"said House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., after House Republicans met.

"This economy and these policies aren't working and they aren't fair," she said, "and they're hurting more people than they're helping. So let's come together - the White House and Congress, Republicans and Democrats - to help give people better paychecks, better jobs, and better lives. Republicans have a long-term, pro-growth jobs plan to make that happen. We'll keep fighting until we do."
Democrats had a different take. They too met, for the first time since the recess ended.
Afterward, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters, "The Republican spring agenda is noteworthy for what it does not include, which are the major issues we believe that the Congress should be dealing with. Number one, of course, is comprehensive immigration reform… Unemployment insurance I think falls in the same category."
And, said Hoyer, "notwithstanding the fact that they want to build an America that works...in fact, there is no job creation legislation included within their agenda for the coming months. And if they were sincerely interested in building an America that works, they would work with us to do just that."

1996 Chevy K3500 Custom 4x4 - Wheel In PeacePosted in Project Vehicles on May 1, 2009
Did you ever know one of those guys who, no matter what time you call him, he's willing to come help you out of a bad situation? Jason Payne was one of those guys. He would come if you needed a tow strap, a jump start, or even just to lend a hand moving. Even though he was only in his early 20s, he had the skills to completely rebuild his off-roader multiple times. In fact, Jason was that guy that wouldn't just talk about some crazy upgrade for his truck; he'd pull it in the garage and have it rebuilt over a long weekend.
But life is strange, and sometimes things happen that no one can explain. While on an off-roading trip, Jason was swimming in a mountain lake with a bunch of friends. He lost his life in a drowning accident.
This type of accident can destroy a family and devastate your outlook on life because it's hard to imagine something so unfortunate happening to a guy with so much promise. But it can also lead to something amazing. For example, Jason had been working on the final upgrades to his truck, which involved some big new axles swapped in, a bunch of tube work, and cleaning up unfinished upgrades. The story could have ended right there, but Jason's family and friends decided that getting the truck completed would keep his spirit alive as well as help them all deal with the loss. Jason hadn't been building some mini-truck that barely fits two or a built-from-scratch tube buggy. Instead he literally turned his old tow rig into a giant crew-cab truggy rockcrawler, a machine big enough that everyone could lend a hand working on it, and perfect for family and friends to take off road when it's finished and remember their lost friend.
For years we'd been trying to lock down a photo shoot to feature Jason's big wheeler, yet each time we called his truck was either under the knife for a new upgrade or our schedules didn't match up. It's a bummer Jason couldn't make it to the photo shoot in person, but we're pretty sure his big truck is helping his family and friends get through a tough situation, the same way Jason would.
The big truggy has been through multiple rebuilds under both Jason's watch and the dedication of his friends and family, but now it is ready to go wheeling again. And wheeling it will go. Jason's father and mother have made it available to his close friends and have renewed their own off-road adventures, something they hadn't done for years. Jason's dad Ken thanks his friends John Reynolds, Esteban Solano, and Kyle Crowley for their work on the truck and his friends in the NorCal and SoCal Big Dawgs off-road clubs as well as his many acquaintances on the various online forums who helped with support and parts donations when they were finishing the truck.

Here's another recent discovery of mine.
Lucky/unlucky for me they have been on sale at my local store, and I started really grooving on them. The chocolate in these PB cups isn't fair trade certified, but it is organic - which I understand is a big step toward being more ethical (last I understood - the organic chocolate farming involved a level of oversight that virtually prohibited any slave labor. Please let me know if you've learned otherwise!). Plus, their chocolate is also Rainforest-Alliance Certified, which shows another level of care. I hadn't had a PB cup in a long time, so this was definitely a fun special treat.
SO! Now, tell me! Have you tried any of these treats? Do you look for Fair Trade and Organic in your sweeties? What are your current favorites? Expand my choco-horizons!

Almost six months after the horrible collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis, the finger of blame is being pointed at a design flaw-- gusset plates-- that was viewed early on as the likely culprit.
According to a report on CNN.com today, a Congressional official briefed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that Federal investigators have identified a design flaw as the cause of the collapse that killed 13 people on August 1st.
"The official... said that investigators found a design flaw in the bridge's gusset plates, which are the steel plates that tie steel beams together," reported CNN.com. "The official spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt an update being provided later Tuesday by the NTSB chairman, Mark V. Rosenker." Here at FleetOwner, I should note, we have not seen anything of that update as of 2:30 pm EST.
CNN.com also reported that Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters is expected to issue an advisory sometime today "urging states to check the gusset plates when modifications are made to a bridge -- such as changes to the weight of the bridge or adding a guardrail, said a federal official with knowledge of the plans."
We can all only hope that any bridge that needs inspecting in relation to that design flaw is checked over thoroughly posthaste.

Miller Tabak\'s Andrew Wilkinson notes that Tuesday\'s rally is getting a lot of confirmation from increased volume.
\"Volume on Tuesday's rally at noon on the NYSE is 32% above Friday and 23% stronger than yesterday as investors suck-in stocks. With the stars aligning for a strengthening rally, it can only mean one thing. The shorts are suffering big time!\"
As Wilkinson notes, while the S&P 500 is now up nearly 7% from its mid-November lows, the Goldman Sachs rolling shorts index is up nearly 17%.
\"So next time the chips are down, you know where to look for value,\" he added.
Stocks still have a ways to go to reclaim their September highs, however. \"The S&P 500 index needs to rally above today's peak by a further 2.1% while the task amongst the most shorted stocks is a little stiffer. The rolling shorts [index] is 3.2% beneath its comparable high-water mark,\" Wilkinson added.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference (SSC) has received official acceptance from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to become a provisional member of the conference beginning July 1, 2014.
"The Sunshine State Conference is excited that Embry-Riddle has accepted our conference's offer of provisional membership," said SSC Commissioner Jay Jones. "Our presidents and athletic leadership believe that Embry-Riddle brings a great blend of academic and athletic success that fits perfectly within the SSC and NCAA Division II model. We look forward to working with Embry-Riddle through this membership transition and know that the institution will help strengthen our conference's proud legacy."
Embry-Riddle, currently a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), will also submit an application to the NCAA Division II Membership Committee. Concurrent to their three-year provisional membership period with the SSC, upon acceptance of their application by the NCAA, Embry-Riddle will serve a three-year provisional term before becoming a full member of NCAA Division II. Embry-Riddle's provisional agreement with the SSC requires the institution to meet certain requirements before it can be eligible to compete for conference championships and become full non-conditional conference members. If all requirements are met, the Eagles will begin competing fully in the SSC during the 2017-18 athletic season.
"We are pleased to be invited to join the Sunshine State Conference." Embry-Riddle President Dr. John P. Johnson said. "With Embry-Riddle's strong history of academic excellence and record of significant achievement in athletics, we feel that the SSC would be a good fit for us. We are excited about the opportunity and new challenges inherent in joining the SSC and NCAA Division II membership."
The Eagles finished in the top 15 in the NAIA Director's Cup for 12-straight seasons, and has claimed 14 consecutive NAIA Sun Conference Commissioner's Cups. Embry-Riddle has also earned team NAIA national titles in men's basketball (2000) and men's tennis (2013). In addition, the Eagles have captured 91 Sun Conference regular-season crowns and 25 conference tournament titles in their 26 season of existence.
"This transition to NCAA Division II is the natural next step for our University as we continue to grow academically and athletically," Embry-Riddle Director of Athletics Steve Ridder said. "This potential acceptance into the NCAA and the Sunshine State Conference aligns with where we are going as a university moving forward. The SSC's record for academic excellence, its numerous national titles, along with the league's commitment to the academics and NCAA's Life in the Balance program exemplifies Embry-Riddle's philosophy of developing the Student-Person-Player."
Located in Winter Park, the Sunshine State Conference is the only NCAA conference headquartered in the state of Florida. Its nine member institutions, all located within the state are: Barry University (Miami Shores), Eckerd College (St. Petersburg), Florida Southern College (Lakeland), Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne), Lynn University (Boca Raton), Nova Southeastern University (Fort Lauderdale), Rollins College (Winter Park), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo) and the University of Tampa.
The SSC sponsors 17 intercollegiate sports that compete in NCAA Division II. More than 2,000 student-athletes participate in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, baseball, softball, women's rowing and men's lacrosse. SSC schools have won 84 NCAA Division II National Championships, and the league is the top-rated academic conference in Division II.

Industry News
The Beauty of Make-up
Consumers mentally couple "hair and make-up," so after giving the client a new hair look, it makes sense that the hairdresser might offer to touch up the make-up as well. In a departmentalized salon, the colorist may take over this duty, since fresh hair color calls for rethinking the make-up tones. Then again, the nail tech might be the one to do the make-up since she knows a lot about color, may have more time and can more easily justify charging a fee. But when you get right down to it, a logical conclusion may be that the person best suited to brush and dab product on the skin is you, the esthetician.
"Estheticians are able to look at the skin and know where it's dry and how to prepare it for make-up," says freelance educator Christine Kolenda, who is both a make-up artist and an esthetician. "They can do that better than people who are solely make-up technicians."
Skin care professionals can be naturals, agrees Caroline Rushworth, director of education for Sothys USA. "Many estheticians I've trained do not have make-up training in their background, but they often have some talent for it," she notes. "Usually the interest and passion are there."
Bolster that interest and passion with some solid product knowledge and technique, and you have a whole new profit center for your business. Even if you question whether you have a keen eye for make-up, with training you'll begin to trust your skills, even if you have to work at it.
"Make-up can be very daunting for estheticians who don't have a natural flair for it," Rushworth continues. "They're nervous and apprehensive, maybe because they're not sure about color choice or uncomfortable with the risk of making a mistake."
Agrees Kolenda, "Estheticians can be shy about working with make-up, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Most clients don't want to go out looking painted. They just want to look fresher. My personal observation is that estheticians tend to have a more conservative eye when it comes to make-up, which can work very well with clients."
back to school
Many cosmetology schools welcome working professionals to their make-up classes. Some schools specialize in make-up or even certain areas of make-up; others house advanced make-up programs within a general cosmetology program. Rushworth recommends visiting schools to talk with administrators, instructors and students.
At Academy of Makeup and Fashion in Encino, California, owner and instructor Barbara Layne picks up where beauty school programs leave off, in addition to offering basic courses to both licensed and unlicensed people with no make-up background. Graduates from Layne's master program complete a minimum of 16 four-hour classes for a total of 64 hours. Layne provides live models so that students are not spending "dead time" serving as each other's models, and she arranges photo shoots to give their portfolios a professional look.
Layne breaks down her program into two segments. The first, which addresses "real people" make-up, covers beginning techniques through bridal make-up. Layne offers a certificate for students who opt to take only this first part, which includes more than just application methods.
"You need to learn a lot of psychology in order to come up with the right look for an individual," explains Layne. "Otherwise the client will look in the mirror and say, 'It's nice, but it's not me.'"
Layne's courses focus on both analyzing a client's face and identifying her "fashion personality." Students learn to ask the client what she wants her image to convey and all about her daily grooming routine. "Some people will not sit for 15 minutes and do their make-up," explains Layne, "while other people see it as a ritual that they look forward to every morning." As a specialist in corrective make-up, Layne also educates make-up artists in techniques that can alter, for example, the perceived shape of a nose.
The second part of Layne's program provides instruction in media make-up for models and actors. Students who take this hope to get gigs in advertising, do fashion shoots or work on the sets of movies and television. While Layne's school does not offer classes in monster make-up, pretty much everything else is covered: black-and-white vs. color film; fantasy make-up, which is currently popular in fashion magazines; period make-up; and special effects.
"We have a huge dressing room filled with costumes," says Layne. "Students learn about wardrobe styling and how to do 'light' hair for the camera. They can't really do hair unless they're licensed, but they can backcomb and fluff up the hair." Since the school is in Southern California, work opportunities come in regularly, she adds.
Some estheticians seek out make-up artistry as a creative outlet. "Being alone in the esthetics room can be tough," says Layne. "But make-up is also a quick route to extra income. It takes a while to build an esthetics clientele, and being able to do make-up can help. With these skills, you can even become a full image consultant."
Like hairdressing, make-up always has something new going on. Seasons change, and product lines come out with new shades. Different parts of the country have their own make-up styles that you can study. Today's technology is adding a wrinkle, too, with even long-time make-up artists back in class to learn make-up for a world of digital cameras and high-definition screens.
"Today the camera picks up everything!" exclaims Kolenda. "You have to be careful in your color selection and your blending."
Whether you're new to it or you've been doing make-up for years, take as many classes as you can, Kolenda advises. "Every instructor approaches make-up differently," she says. "You're always going to walk out having learned something, or maybe you'll just come away inspired and motivated."
When you do make-up regularly, every day is different. "If you get bored easily," says Layne, "doing make-up is a great job."
how to sell it
Make-up moves like any other salon retail product: with a push from the professional. In addition, it must be visible, accessible and inviting.
"So many times I walk into a salon and see the make-up stuck in a corner," says Rushworth. "Nobody gets to it, and not much is sold. People need professionals to help them choose a foundation or concealer. While lipsticks tend to be impulse buys, clients still want to pick up the tube and get a good look at it. You can't keep it behind glass."
Visuals can aid greatly. Layne recalls an esthetician who came in complaining that she couldn't move any of the several make-up lines her spa carried.
"I noticed that the spa owner was quite attractive," says Layne. "I gave her four different make-up looks, and we photographed each one. The salon blew up these photos, so when clients walked in the door they saw a big visual of how the owner looked in 'clean beauty,' which is for the sporty woman and also appropriate for the office; a classic face, with all the features perfectly defined but not overdone; a romantic look with heavier, but well-blended, color; and a dramatic look that makes everyone in the room turn and look at you."
When you market make-up this way, clients immediately identify with one of the four looks and ask to have it done, Layne says. But she encourages estheticians to lead the client toward a full program of make-up instruction. "Clients go for it, and you have four appointments," she reports. "You teach them how to do each look and, by the way, the price goes up when you're teaching."
Bridal make-up comes with its unique sales opportunities and incentives. "Financially, weddings can be very rewarding," notes Rushworth. "You may be able to set up a whole package of appointments for 10 women, and often the bridal party will purchase the make-up so they can maintain the look all day. In addition, you're bonding with them on a very emotional day. They may book subsequent appointments once you've built those relationships. After the event, the bride may send you a photo, which really tells you that you've done a great job."
Being an esthetician gives you an extra edge with brides, notes Kolenda. "Estheticians know what to recommend to set a bride off on a healthy journey toward the big day," she explains. "Brides are stressed, and your skills can help them through that period of their lives while making them look good, too. An esthetician can provide something that's much more full-service than a make-up artist can." It also helps to be an esthetician if you don't meet the bride until the day of the wedding, she adds, because "you have to figure out how to make the skin look good for eight hours."
You can give brides, as well as all clients, the option to have an airbrushed make-up service.
"This make-up lasts from a few days to a week and looks perfectly natural," Kolenda says. Applied with a small spray airbrush, the creme-to-powder spray covers the skin with a light film. "Bridal parties do it because it stays on and gives a flawless finish," Kolenda adds.
Any time a spa client is poised for a life change, a make-up artist can help her match her image to the new situation. College graduation is a good example. Says Layne, "When young women first hit the pavement in search of the right job, they usually they need some help. They shouldn't wear trendy make-up; they need to look credible and serious about working. A make-up artist can be very helpful in introducing a classic look that will open doors."
For evening, these young professionals can handle a trendy look, but they still want to appear more sophisticated than they did in college. "You can stretch this out over four appointments for four different looks," suggests Layne. "At each visit you say, 'Next time I'll teach you how to do make-up for this other mood.'"
Estheticians have ample opportunity to close the deal. "The nice thing about being an esthetician is you have so much time while you're doing a facial," Layne says. "Sell the sizzle! Say, 'I just took this wonderful make-up course, and you have such beautiful features that I would love to do your make-up sometime.'"
Once you become your clients' make-up consultant and give them permission to shop in the comfort of the salon, watch nature take its course. "We women like to treat ourselves with cosmetics," says Rushworth. "It's retail therapy!"

(CNN) -- Iranian authorities have executed the leader of a Sunni militant group blamed for dozens of attacks in the country, state media said Sunday.
Abdolmalek Rigi, who headed Jundallah (Soldiers of God), was hanged after being convicted of committing 79 crimes, including armed robbery, planting bombs and attacks against police and military forces, Press TV reported.
Authorities arrested him February 23 when he was on a flight from the United Arab Emirates to Kyrgyzstan, Press TV said.
Iran has blamed Jundallah for carrying out deadly bombings, abductions and targeted killings in the southeastern Sistan-Balochistan province, which borders Pakistan. It has accused the group of trying to destabilize Iran with the backing of the West.
Jundallah claims it has no separatist aspirations but rather it wants the predominantly Shiite country to stop persecuting the Sunni Balochis who live in the province.
The province lies about 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) southeast of Tehran.
Iran said Jundallah was behind a suicide bombing in the province that killed more than 40 people -- including several members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards -- in October.
Jundallah also is blamed for a mosque attack in May that killed more than a dozen worshippers and injured at least 55 in the province.
And in 2007, a car bomb that struck a military bus in the province's capital, Zahedan, was also the work of Jundallah, Iran said.
The bomb went off as soon as the bus, which belonged to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, arrived to pick up military personnel at a barracks. It killed at least 11 Guard members.
According to Press TV, after Rigi was arrested, the country's intelligence minister claimed that he had been at an American mlitary base 24 hours before his capture and that the United States had forged an Afghan passport for him.
Rigi pleaded guilty to the charges against him and appealed his sentence after asking for forgiveness, Press TV reported.
The appeal was rejected.
CNN's Shirzad Bozorgmehr contributed to this report.

The Brazilian has sealed a three-year contract at the Veltins Arena, with Jens Keller's side set to pay just €1 million for his services
By Hassan Talib Haji
Borussia Dortmund defender Felipe Santana has agreed a three-year deal ahead of a controversial move to Ruhr rivals Schalke, Goal has learned.
The Brazilian defender has found it hard to break into the BVB first team during his five years at Signal Iduna Park, having found himself firmly behind Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic in the pecking order.
With Christoph Metzelder - another former Dortmund defender - having announced his retirement earlier this week, Jens Keller's side have been in the market for a new centre-back.
Meanwhile, another Schalke defender, Kyriakos Papadopoulos has also been heavily linked with a move away from the club, leaving Jens Keller's side short of options at the back.
Santana has long been linked with a move to the Veltins Arena and has now sealed a contract until 2016 worth around €3 million per season for a fee of €1m, which is his release clause.
With Hummels having sustained an ankle injury during the 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim on Saturday, Santana has a chance of representing Dortmund in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on May 25.
His stoppage-time goal against Malaga in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final this season dramatically ensured they secured a spot in the last four of the competition.

I currently use an image as the entire masthead, but need to move to something simpler and more compact, which can also be incorporated into HTML e-newsletters.
- Simple but eye-catching
- Logo should suggest a mind map via lines or shapes, but not too complex
- Colors could pick up on the blue, yellow and red from my blog masthead, but I'm not necessarily wedded to that.
- Art in PNG or vector format, which I can easily manipulate in Adobe Fireworks and resize as needed without any loss of quality
- A "web 2.0" look might be nice - should be contemporary in appearance
- I don't want anything cartoonish
- Nothing too complicated
