Source Title: Examining Information Retrieval and Image Processing Paradigms in Multidisciplinary Contexts
This research is an attempt to examine the effect of reading processes on designing e-texts for children using Arabic script. In addition, it aims to develop a model for designing acceptance that will have the power to demonstrate acceptance and usage behaviour of the e-school text using a schoolbook for primary schools in Libya. Alternatively, dealing with the research problem led to the specification of the following research objectives, which were achieved through four inter- related surveys: to build an e-reading strategy for a schoolbook based on users' cognitive and behaviour processes, to define the typographical variables that affect reading Arabic texts from the screen such as font size, font type, background color, line length and text format from a literature survey, to provide a standard that can help keep children's concentration on the text, to create a guideline that could help designers when designing e-Arabic texts for children, to examine in-depth the challenges of reading Arabic e-texts, to study the efficiency of Arabic text reading and the factors impacting the efficiency of reading and comprehension, to understand children's behaviour when reading from a screen. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the study's contribution to knowledge and provide recommendations for future research.
Significance Of The Study
Several studies have reported that reading electronic text leads to changes in the reading and learning processes. This calls for research aimed at understanding the reading processes, cause of these changes, defining the requirements for meeting these changes, and then to connect it with the reading purpose. This in turn will lead to designing e-learning material that is able to meet readers' requirements and educators. This study seeks to examine the general significance of the reading process of electronic text and the factors that affect reading Arabic electronic texts for children so as to provide a standard to help the interface designer to design an interface that makes the user feel comfortable and work efficiently as well as developing a theory of presenting e-texts for children's learning.
Thus, this study will be useful for at least three aspects; designing the electronic resources, e-reading, and educational aspect. In addition, understanding the proposed model may help analyse the reasons for the resistance toward the e- text and would also help to bring about efficient measures to improve reading on screen. In the same context, highlighting the reading stage in terms of the schoolbook will help consolidate factors such as the social and learning processes.
Moreover, e-text will enable changes in the reading and learning processes. Also, reading an e-text can have several advantages over traditional reading as the reader or learner is able to apply animation in learning, and increase control and interaction with the learning material. All these will lead to improvement in the quality of learning. Thus, analysis of the text and connecting it with the reading purpose and reader's skill will help meet those requirements that should be available when displaying texts on screen. In addition, the findings of this research can help build e- curricula that are easy and effective to be read and used by all Arabic learners.
On the other hand, most of the research on reading e-texts among children have been done in the context of Western languages e.g. (Reimer, Brimhall, Cao et al., 2009) and a few in Chinese e.g. (Tsai et al., 2008). This study extends the work already started by Asmaa Alsumait and Asma Al-Osaimi (NISO, 2005; Asmaa and Asma, 2009) using Arabic language. Both works have addressed a small part of the whole field without providing explanations to show how and when these factors can influence e- reading.
Moreover, the quality of screen display is usually discussed in terms of the resolution, that is, the maximum number of dots or pixels. In this study, we try to examine all the factors that affect reading on screen such as presentation factors, reader factors and physical factors, but the main focus will be on factors related to displaying the text.

Q: Move prototype code out of master branch with git The master branch of a new project's git repo contains only prototype/spike code. I'm about to re-start the coding from scratch, now that I have the basic ideas understood.
I want the master branch to be clear of all the prototype code. Ideally the prototype code needs to be moved into a branch so I can still get to it later.
Is it possible to reset master back to before the first commit?
What are the git commands to do this?

A: If you're really going to start from scratch, just create a completely new repository. It's possible to have two branches without any common ancestor, but it's not really that useful.

A: *

*From the current master branch, make a new branch with your prototype code. git checkout -b prototype.

*Get back to the master branch with git checkout master.

*Remove all the files from the master branch with git rm -rf *.

*Commit your changes on the master branch with git commit -m "Removed prototype code".

This way, the history will be kept and you can always track in the log when the switch took place.

A: This is how you create a new branch not sharing any history with your other branches:  How to create a new empty branch for a new project.
Before following these instructions, just rename your existing master to prototype using git branch -m master prototype. Then, when following the linked instructions, use master instead of newbranch.

You are here: Home / Islam / The Rapes at Kathua and Unnao
A Naked Protest » « REFORMATION OF ISLAM
The Rapes at Kathua and Unnao
From the Europe and America the news has come that Christian priests have raped young boys inside Catholic churches. I haven't investigated how prevalent it is in other Muslim countries, but I have often read in the newspapers of Bangladesh about Imams raping children in mosques, of a teacher at a Madrasa raping a four-, five- or six-year-old girl student inside the Madrasa. Now I've been told that some people brought an eight-year-old girl into a temple in Jammu and Kashmir and gangraped her. One of the rapists is Sanji Ram, who had the responsibility for looking after the temple. Sanji Ram's relatives as well as two police officers, their friends, kept the eight-year-old girl imprisoned inside the temple and raped her. The girl used to take horses out to graze in Jammu. When one of her horses was lost, she went looking for it in the jungle, which is when the gang of rapists captured her and imprisoned her in the temple. After raping her for several days in succession, the valiant heroes smashed the girl's head in with a rock and murdered her.
Had the girl been a Hindu and not a Muslim, perhaps those men would have captured, imprisoned, raped, and finally killed her in exactly the same way. Both the poor and the rich know that killing the poor usually reduces the chances of trouble. I don't believe that those men would have allowed the girl to walk on unscathed in the jungle had she been a Hindu. A rape takes place in India every 14 minutes. Hindu men rape Hindu women every day. They don't spare anyone, from old women to one-year-old children. Muslim men rape in the same way. They don't spare any women of any age. Rapes are continuing. Murders, too. Those who rape are usually not interested in the name, address and religion of those they are raping. They're only concerned with the body. The more tender it is, the more delicious. Or they only consider the 'valiance'. There is no lack of people in the world who think barbarity is bravery.
Raping the women of the enemy is nothing new. Since, like the elephants and horses and land and houses of the enemy, their women too are considered property, the visors take away the elephants and horses, occupy the land and houses, burning and pillaging them, and rape the women. This is how it was been since ancient times. Subjugating the adversary by raping his mother, his sister, his wife, his daughter, is an age-old practice. After killing jews in Arab lands, the prophet Mohammad had distributed the Jewish women amongst his militant companions for their pleasure. Pakistani soldiers raped two hundred thousand women in the Liberation War of Bangladesh. Although the troops were Muslims, and so were the majority of the women they raped, resistance had been a bigger factor than religion. The Pakistanis looted and pillaged the homes of Bengalis and set them on fire, and raped Bengali women. They raped the women because the war provided an opportunity. Whenever there's an opportunity men rape women all the time, irrespective of caste and creed, it doesn't even need a war.
To tell the truth, there is no ongoing war between Hindus and Muslims in India. It is true that some people are trying to provoke a conflict, but the conflict has not reached the proportion where Hindus will rape Muslim women in droves, or vice versa. Hindu men have raped a hundred times more Hindu women than they have raped Muslim women. It's the same story with Muslim men. It is not as though either of them has vowed to rape women of the other religion alone. They do it when they get the opportunity. Muslim men rape more of Muslim women because they're the ones who are near at hand. It's the same with Hindu men.
Was it merely the attraction of raping a Muslim that made seven people rape an eight-year-old girl for seven days, that even made a man travel all the way from Meerut to Jammu? Or was it the opportunity to rape a female child? The rapist from Meerut would have travelled to Jammu even if the eight-year-old had been a Hindu. Child rape is on the rise today. Whether they're Hindus or Muslims, Buddhists or Christians, no one gives up the chance to rape a child these days. Perhaps rape of children has always existed, and it is just the increase in the number of news reports about it that makes it seem it is on the rise.
Had Hindu men never raped Hindu women, I would have assumed the Hindu males of Kathua raped the eight-year-old girl because she was a Muslim. Had Muslim men not raped anyone other than Hindu women, maybe it would have become clear that the conflict between Hindus and Muslims is increasing or that the war between them is becoming more intense. But society still has Muslims like Imdadul Rashidi, who do not want to start a riot by attacking his son's Hindu murderers as an act of revenge. There are still Hindus like Yashpal Saxena who prefer to forgive the Muslim murderers of his son rather than avenge his death. The Indian subcontinent needs Hindus like Yashpal Saxena and Muslims like Imdadul Rashidi.
Over in Uttar Pradesh, an 18-year-old woman has accused an MLA named Kuldip Singh Singer and his brother of raping her. The alleged rapists are Rajputs, and the young woman, a Dalit. Some people are saying that upper-caste men have a tendency to rape lower-caste women. Because hatred is one of the factors causing rape, it is entirely possible that the upper caste rapes the lower caste out of hatred. But it isn't as though upper caste men are not raping upper caste women. And lower caste men are raping lower caste women. So it is not caste but hatred for women, the notion that women are of a lower class, that they are maids and slaves, that they are brainless creatures, that is responsible. As many of us know, rape is not sexual intercourse, whatever else it might be. Rape is muscle power, male power, penis power. The bottomline: the act of putting a crown on, or flying the flag of victory from, the bald head of the male organ is also known as rape.
It has not yet been proven whether MLA Kuldip Sengar has raped the women from Unnao. But there will be nothing to be surprised at if it is proven. He did not rape the woman because he is a BJP MLA. A male MLA of the Congress or the SP or the CPM or Trinamool or any other political party could have raped her too. Because he is a man. It is the powerful who commit the most rapes. Because the powerful have arrangements to cover their tracks. And it is not a custom to punish the powerful. They are the ones who can commit crimes and get away untouched far more often than others.
The Kathua rape is being called communal, and it is being said that the rape in Unnao took place only because it was a BJP MLA. I believe that the rapists in both cases did what they did because they are men. They raped the women because they had the opportunity to do it. A patriarchal society has taught men that women are nothing but sex objects. Therefore there is no crime in gratifying themselves with women's bodies in any way they please. A patriarchal society has taught men that women are helpless and powerless – no matter what their religion or age, what their caste or their lineage, whether they're rich of poor, they belong to the lower classes. And men have the right to humiliate them, to torture them, to crush them. Which is why men rape them. One rape every 14 minutes.
Until this patriarchy is not abolished, until men do not dismiss equal rights for women, until men stop thinking of themselves as lords and of women as sex-slaves, all men – Hindu or Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or Jew, poor or rich, upper caste or lower caste, legislator or minister, Imam or priest – will keep raping women.
Rapes will continue unhindered in temples, mosques, churches and pagodas because the custodians of these 'holy' places are all God-fearing men. God-fearing men do not consider rape a sin as they are well-aware that everything – notwithstanding Ishwar or Allah or Bhagaban or their respective religions – is undeniably misogynous.
koshy says
Here happening of a crime is not the issue as this crime happened in January and no voices were raised then. But the issue is the people(here Hindus) started making obstruction during filing of charge sheet by the authorities.

Antique chests of drawers on ball or bun feet started showing damage, and started getting replacements of bracket feet. The marquetry antique chests of drawers are a distinct class of antique chests of drawers with a design of their embellishment that changed very little over the years. Initially the marquetry antique chests of drawers bore natural flowers and leaves. Then the marquetry antique chests of drawers got Acanthus leaves. Later on the marquetry antique chests of drawers were made with standard patterns and scrolls of foliage that bore little affinity to the sensible forms of the earlier marquetry antique chests of drawers. The lacquered antique chests of drawers of the Orient, Dutch and English origin were beautifully ornamented with metal plates and manages as devised by the English makers of lacquered antique chests of drawers. Wrought-iron hinges and lock-plates had been discarded in favor of carving. In Oriental antique chests of drawers metal work and brass plates were utilized. From antique chests of drawers evolved the antique chests of drawers with plain fronts and serpentine shapes separately. During the eighteenth century metal manages and handle-plates were utilized on the antique chests of drawers.

How to cope with evolving research outputs
How to make your research reproducible
How to publish your research with impact
How to capture data to produce reliable records
How to manage data and plan for it
How to share research data fairly and sensibly
How to do analyses in a workflow-oriented manner
How to be formally explicit about data and concepts
How to improve scientific source code development
Virtually no research project of interest that includes in silico analysis only uses a single software tool, operating on a single data set, under a single set of parameters. There will be iterations over data sets, sweeps over parameter ranges, and multiple software tools will be used. These are all operations whose reproducibility is every bit as vital as that of a wet lab procedure. Therefore, the haphazard and manual chaining together of computational analyses is a recipe for failure. In addition, because research is usually exploratory such that the right approach only becomes clear after many failed attempts ("everything you do, you will probably have to do over again"), manual repetition becomes boring and error prone. Hence, computational analysis should be viewed and organised as a workflow that is automated as much as possible so that it can be re-run at will and shared with collaborators as well as the wides research community. Here we will consider some of the practical approaches and considerations in developing computational analysis workflows.
Organising a computational analysis
A computational analysis workflow chains software tools together in a series of steps that operate on data. Although each analysis will be different, some common file types (source code, compiled executables, data files, configuration files, etc.) are usually involved. Hence, a common project organisation such as shown in example 1 can probably be applied. Adopting such a scheme will result in a predictable, self-documenting structure that you can easily pick back up even if you return to a project months later. In this example, the basic layout is as follows:
doc - contains documentation files leading up to a scholarly manuscript
data - data files and metadata (i.e. data about data, here as README text files)
src - source code for compiled executables
bin - compiled executables and scripts (i.e. the $PATH) for the workflow)
results - outcomes of analysis steps
Some of these folder names match those in UNIX-like operating systems (such as Linux) and play roughly the same role. This is, of course, no coincidence - but rather a mnemonic aid. To read more about the reasoning underlying this project structure, consult [Noble2009] (where this layout came from).
As we noted above, a computational analysis workflow chains tools together. Such chaining is best not done by hand because manual operations increase the chances that commands will be executed subtly different from one workflow execution to the next. For example, you might forget to set a certain parameter to the right value, or go with program defaults that make the output unpredictable from one execution to the next. The latter is for example the case with the "random number seed", i.e. the initial value for the random number generator (which is used for algorithms such as proposal mechanisms in certain Bayesian statistical analyses), which typically uses the computer's clock to generate an input value if it is not set explicitly. Hence, it is best to specify this yourself, where possible. To automate such parameter specification and chaining of workflow steps, numerous options exist. Here are some of the obvious, commonly used ones:
shell scripting - on most operating systems (also on Windows), programs can be invoked on the command line shell, and these same invocations can be stored in a text file that can thus execute a series of program operations automatically. On many operating systems, shell programming is flexible enough to accommodate simple conditionals ("do this if that is true") and loops ("do this for all files"), which could easily be all you need if all the complex logic is encapsulated with the software tools you are using. A very good guide for shell scripting on OSX and UNIX-like operating systems is here.
make tools - one step up in terms of syntax is to use tools like make). Originally developed for compiling software, make (and tools like it) also issue invocations on the command line, but they are more intelligent in handling dependencies between steps (i.e. step B can only be invoked if step A has completed successfully) and allow you to label intermediate steps so that you can run a specific command defined somewhere in a larger input file for make, called a Makefile. This allows you to work incrementally, so that the output of one step can be checked before moving on to the next.
scripting languages - a number of open source, general purpose scripting languages exist that can both invoke other programs on the command line, and do complex operations on data themselves. These languages include Python, Perl and Ruby. More domain specific and originally geared towards statistics is the R programming language, which can also be used to chain software tools together. Although these languages are a departure from familiar command line syntax, they are extremely flexible, well documented, and have large, helpful user bases. It is a very useful skill to pick up at least one of them.
literate programming environments - as discussed in more detail in the section on scientific software, several environments exist that allow you to mix prose, visualisations and programming logic. Although these are more specialised tools as opposed to general scripting languages, the ability to document workflow logic in prose, operate incrementally and include visualisations is extremely useful.
visual workflow tools - touted as a way to build complex computational analysis workflows without having to write any code, several visual workflow tools are also available. Example 2 shows the visual workflow interface of Galaxy. The advantage of these tools is that, indeed, analysis steps can be enacted with mouse clicks. The disadvantage is that to enable this kind of "button-press bioinformatics", the underlying code to make the right invocations still needs to be written by someone, so these tools are not very flexible or innovative. They are very good for standard operating procedures in labs, but not as much for novel research.
Sharing and re-use
Like all the text files that you invest a lot of time in to develop, the files associated with a computational analysis workflow should be versioned. But, is a version control system such as GitHub also a useful way to share and distributed workflows? Perhaps not: workflows can have so many different dependencies that a faithful reproduction of the entire workflow environment on a new computer may be a daunting task. Consider, for example, the SUPERSMART pipeline. It depends on a multitude of tools for DNA sequence analysis and phylogenetic inference (muscle, blast+, phyml, examl, exabayes, raxml, treepl, mafft, beast, and a variety of packages for R and Perl) as well as more generic Linux tools (sqlite3, wget, curl, various build tools, and so on). Installing all of these by hand is prohibitive for most potential users. Luckily, several solutions exist to package workflows and all their dependencies for sharing with others:
virtualisation - computers have grown powerful enough, and software emulation clever enough, that one or more operating systems can be run inside another: virtualisation. Using such technology, workflow developers can start from a fresh, virtualised operating system, install the entire workflow and all its dependencies on it, and then package and distributed that virtualised operating system as a disk image. The result is a rather large file (because it is an entire OS) that users can launch on their local computers as a virtual machine using tools such as VirtualBox or VMWare, or "in the cloud", e.g. on an installation of openstack maintained by an institution or at a commercial provider of cloud computing such as AWS.
containerisation - a more lightweight solution for bundling tools that are otherwise difficult to install is offered by "containerisation". Here, the idea is that a lot of the standard components bundled in a virtual machine are actually redundant because the host operating system within which the virtual machine is run has these components as well. Hence, a more lightweight solution can be arrived at by only packaging the non-standard components of a workflow environment into a "container", e.g. as implemented in Docker. Note, however, that there has to be tighter relationship between the host operating system and the container (because they share more components), so this approach works best on Linux hosts. Also, there is more potential for security risks than with virtual machines, so providers of compute power (such as, for example, your institutional system administrator) might be less keen to support containers.
provisioning - another solution to dependency management is to define all the dependencies and the steps to their installation in a script. For example, the SUPERSMART pipeline uses a puppet script to install all the dependencies.
You have now learned about computational analysis workflows and should be able to:
Understand the value of consistent project organisation
Know some of the options for automating steps in a workflow
Be aware of the challenges and available solutions for sharing workflows

Q: Proof Verification: Baby Rudin Chapter 4 Exercise 6 If $f$ is defined on $E$, the graph of $f$ is the set of points $(x, f(x))$, for $x \in E$. Suppose $E$ is compact, and prove that $f$ is continuous on $E$ if and only if its graph is compact.
Hello! Can anyone check whether my proof to this problem is correct? Can I improve it in any way?
Because $f$ is continuous , $f(E)$ is compact. The set $E \times f(E)$ is compact as well. We show that $G = \{(x, f(x)) | x \in E\}$ is closed in $E \times f(E)$; its compactness will follow. Hence, let $(q,r)$ be a point in $G^\mathsf{c}$. Let $V_r$ and $V_{f(q)}$ be disjoint neighborhoods in $f(E)$ containing $r$ and $f(q)$, respectively. By the continuity of $f$, there exists a neighborhood $U$ of $q$ such that $f(U) \subset V_{f(q)}$. Because $f(x) \notin V_r$ for all $x \in U$, $U \times V_r$ is a neighborhood of $(q,r)$ contained in $G^c$.
Conversely, assume that $f$ is discontinuous at the point $q$. We show that there exists an open cover of $G$ that admits no finite subcover. Let $V$ be a neighborhood of $f(q)$ such that every neighborhood of $q$ contains a point whose image is outside of $V$. Construct a sequence of points $\{p_n\}$ such that  $p_n \in B(q,\frac{1}{n})$ and $f(p_n) \notin V$. Also, set $$U_n = \overline {B(q,\frac{1}{n})}^\mathsf{c}.$$  The collection $\{E \times V\} \cup \{U_n \times f(E)\}, n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ covers $G$ because every point in $G$ is either equal to $(q, f(q))$ or has a first coordinate that lies outside $\overline {B(q,\frac{1}{n})}$ for some $n$. Every finite subcollection omits $(p_n, f(p_n))$ for sufficiently large $n$.

I recently went to have a pedicure here and loved it so much I got my nails done too! Marcela is great.\r\nShe has this nice peaceful place upstairs that looks out over the street in the front. \r\nVery nice salon. Getting my hair done next!
Best Pedicure I have every had !
by blwest120 at Citysearch May 02 .
I completely disagree about the rude staff. I have only been going to this salon a short time but have never been treated in any unfair manner. Everyone in this salon makes me feel like I am a part of their tight-nit salon family! I would not go anywhere else for my hair or eyebrows ever again. Susanna is the only one who has ever made me completely satidfied with my cut, color and eyebrows, and she has to be about the sweetest person I know! I would never believe she could have hung up on someone intentionally! I love this place, great atmosphere and exceptional staff!
Just like an extended family!
by ilovedishes at Citysearch May 02 .
I go to Magnolia Salon to see Susanna. She has made my eyebrows perfect and I always get compliments. \r\n:) She does awesome color and cut too. No complaints!

I'm really picky and I love Carrie's cuts and color!
by psroman at Citysearch May 02 .
Val has been my stylist since I moved to Orlando in 2001 and I think she's just terrific. I have been blonde, deep brunette and everything in between and because she's so good with color, she's found the right shades to make them all work for me. Her cuts are consistently good, and I always enjoy seeing her and talking with her. Do yourself a favor and go to Magnolias!
by SharonSmoley at Citysearch May 02 .
Absolutely the best team of stylists in any salon I have ever been to. Reasonably priced and usually get you in pretty quickly. In addition, there is the nicest spa upstairs where you can get massage, facials and much more. Great environment. I highly recommend Magnolia's.
by SAMMYQ at Citysearch May 02 .
Val has been styling my hair for two years now and talk about someone who can read your mind, she is awesome... I don't even tell her what to do......she just does it! The staff there is always excited to see you, very professional and very hip to the current syles. And like I said, the staff caters to men also not only women......so I recommend you go get yourself cleaned up by Val......SHE IS THE BEST!!!!
Pros: The staff caters to men also, not just women.
Cons: No cons...this place is awesome.
by bently05 at Citysearch May 02 .
This was my fourth salon in orlando and i've finally found a place I love! Abby was great and my highlights and hair cut turned out amazing! It seems like a fun place and even though my appointment was late in the evening I didn't feel like I was being rushed or anything! Abby took the time to talk to me and ask me everything i wanted to do and also gave me her ideas which helped alot! I decided to go there after reading their reviews here on citysearch....i'm so glad i went! I promise you wont be disappointed with any one there...all of the stylists seem so nice!
Pros: Great atmosphere, great stylists!, great products and highlights!
Cons: none i can see!

I treated my 11 year old niece and 6 of her friends to some pampering at the Magnolia's Salon and Spa for her birthday. What a wonderful time they had! Each girl felt like a princess and had the time of their lives.
by lopezca at Citysearch May 02 .
Carrie is my stylist at Magnolia's and she is the BEST! I have brought her a picture before of what I wanted my hair to look like and she gave me the look. She does a great job with my blond highlights too. Lots of people have done my hair and have made it turn out really washed out looking, but Carrie uses a combination of colors to make the highlights stand out. Another good thing about Carrie is that she is a stylist who will tell you what looks good on you. If none of this convinces you then let me tell you that one of my relatives just starting going to a lady who is half the price, but I still won't leave Carrie to get my hair done cheaper. It's just not worth the risk.

I was looking for a dramatic change to my current style but had no idea what I wanted. Abby took the time to get to know me first and help me discover what would be the right look for me. Since it was a dramatic change, I was considering cutting a lot of hair and she mentioned that I was close enough to being able to donate my hair, which has been a long time goal of mine. Knowing that, we decided to go extra short to donate. I asked her if it was so extreme, could she make it cute and sassy?with a smile on her face she ensured me that sassy is what it will be. She sure was right! I have had more compliments from this hairstyle than any I have ever had before. It is more than I had hoped for and I am very grateful for her advice. Not only did she give me a super cute haircut, but she taught me how to do it myself at home as she styled it for me, then she told me to call if I had any questions (no one does that anymore). The customer service is exquisite! She?s magnificent!\r\n\r\nOur daughter had her hair cut with Christen and she was great. Our daughter is almost 7 yrs, and right away she spoke to her on a very personable and kind level. Christen asked her all sorts of questions that made our daughter very comfortable and feel extra special. She had our daughter pick how she wanted it styled and it made her feel like a superstar. She has a very soft and sweet personality.
Pros: Everything, Abby is Great!!!
by baadal at Citysearch May 02 .
Pros: When you call you get great service, and the atmosphere seems to be the best.
Cons: There are none that can come to mind.

I have nothing great to say about Magnolias salon and spa and all of the stylists there. I have my hair done by Carolyn and she can be difficult.
by wpcolor at Citysearch May 02 .
by poolgirl88 at Citysearch May 02 .
I love going to Magnolias Salon and Spa. I always feel welcomed from the second that I walk in the door. I have gotten my hair done from several of the stylists. Whenever I call to book an appointment I tell the receptionist that I don't mind who does my hair because I know that there all great, experienced hair stylists. My hair always looks great!! The salon has such a great vibe to it. You can tell that the stylists truly care about there clients. When I am getting my hair done I look around the salon and watch the other stylists and I see that the stylists take there time with there clients. I reccommend this salon to everyone. I am fairly new in town and I have tried a few other salons in Winter Park but NOTHING compares to Magnolias.
by hotengineer at Citysearch May 02 .
As a man, getting a rubdown in the sink is the most important part of my haircut experience. Carolyn, who has been cutting my hair for about a year now, gives the best Shampoo job I've ever had! She really lathers and massages like she means it!
by wpchick at Citysearch May 02 .
Every visit made to Magnolias Salon is exceptional. All of the staff is very welcoming and helpful. Carolyn has been cutting and highlighting my hair since she was in beauty school years ago. Magnolias Salon has really helped her grow into the hair stylist she aspires to be! Her hair cuts are very precise and her highlights are nothing but perfect!!

Magnolia's is very welcoming. Abby is my stylist and she can do wonders. I have fine, thin hair that has a been frustrating aspect all of my life. Abby makes my hair looks full and beautiful. What's better is that she shows me how to do it. If you have had a hard time finding a great stylist, check out Abby. I won't go to anyone else!

I have been going to Magnolia's Salon and Spa for over four years now. I fell in love with Magnolia's the day I walked in and was welcomed by each and every Magnolia's specialist with a smile, asked if I would care for a beverage and given a tour of the welcoming downstairs salon and beautiful upstairs spa. There is not a single Magnolia's specialist I would shy you away from - each and every stylist goes above and beyond any expectations you may set and the upstairs spa (nails, facials, massages) is different from any experience I have had and your environment both relaxing and welcoming. I would refer any friend of mine to Magnolia's and know they are in good hands without having to say anything more then ""Magnolia's Salon and Spa will take care of you"".
Amazing Color, Highlights, Spa and Service.
by mlt1972 at Citysearch May 02 .
I've been going to Magnolias for years! My stylist is Carrie and she's the best. I never bring in pictures and she always gives me the best and newest color and cuts. I have dark, straight hair so I get tired of the same color and cuts that my hair usually allows. The atmosphere is shabby sheek with a massage therepist, manicurist upstairs at your service! I would highly recommend this salon to anywhere!
Best salon around hands down!
by JAda2001 at Citysearch May 02 .
I started going to Magnolias in the fall of 2007 after moving down to Orlando. Leaving behind my stylist of 10+ years was hard, but Magnolias and their fantastic staff has made the transition easy. From the minute you walk in the door you feel like you're coming ""home"". Even as a newcomer to this salon I was welcomed like a regular, offered a drink, and made to feel at-ease in my surroundings. Everyone is talkative and their customer service is unmatched by any other salon I've been to.\r\n\r\nAbby is my stylist and I must commend her on the wonderful work she does. My hair is difficult to work with and she seems to have the magic touch. My hair looks best now more than ever. She does my color and highlights and I don't believe I'll ever be disappointed by the results. She listens to my input and suggests what she thinks will work...and I trust her enough to always go with her suggestions. The cuts and styles she uses on me are always great and age-appropriate. I love that when my appointment is over they pre-book me for my next visit, which keeps my trims on track. I started as a skeptical new-comer to the Orlando area, wondering if anyone could work with my hair, and Magnolias has made a believer out of me. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair.
by swonavymom at Citysearch May 02 .
WOW - what a fun and friendly place. Abby is my hair specialist and she's the best. I have long hair and let her ""design"" it and I am so happy, I finally feel like I'm in the 21st Century. America is my nail technician and has been for many years. She does acrylic nails and regular manicures along with the best spa pedicures in town. I always have the best looking feet in town. Kim gives the best facials and skin treatments. When you want a massage this is the placed to come. Bevin has healing hands and will make you feel like a brand new person. All the staff and stylists are very friendly - great atmosphere and very relaxing.
by inorlando at Citysearch May 02 .
I was so happy with my experience at Magnolias. The receptionist was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. My hairstylist was Christen and I was really impressed by her. She was extremely sweet, really listened to my concerns and gave me the exact hair cut and highlights that I was looking for. She even did an awesome job at teaching me how to style my hair. Other salons that I have been to in Orlando always felt so rushed, but I felt Christen took her time and cared. I also paid attention to the other stylists and noticed they were the same. This salon is very laid-back and all the stylists were friendly and genuinely cared about their clients. I already booked my next appointment with Christen and am really excited!
Best Customer Service and Love my Hair!

After returning here from Atlanta after 10 years away from Winter Park, I was looking for a salon that was hip, fun, comfortable and welcoming. I tried several salons who had wonderful and nice stylists but was won over by the overall package at Magnolia's Salon. They are professional, current and friendly and they do the best hair in town. My stylist there listens to what I want and somehow makes it happen. The owner is always genuinely interested in the happiness of the clients. Try it, you'll like it!

I just LOVE Magnolias! Especially because of Abby!!! She's the greatest!! I keep my hair short - and Abby does a GREAT Job (I'm not soooo good about getting back in a timely manner to get trims - but it grows out GREAT!!) Abby does my color and highlights too! I really trust her ..and let her do what she thinks would work --and I've never been disappointed! - and she's always got a smile on her face when I see her - and it puts a smile on mine!!!!

It is very hard to find a new hair stylyist/salon when moving to a new city. Magnolia's not only filled the void of my previous salon from back in St. Louis but exceeded my expectations! I've had some hair disasters in the past so trusting someone new with my hair has been really hard to do throughout the years. Carolyn put me at ease and gave me the best highlights I have ever had. Not only does Carolyn do amazing things with my hair but her personality and customer service truly makes getting my hair done a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I used to get my hair done every few months but now I go every 6 weeks because I love it so much!

Magnolias is the best place in town for both color and cut for adults and children. Val has been coloring and cutting my hair for the past three years and does a great job. I am always getting stopped and asked who does my hair. The best thing is that I can make it look almost as good as Val does on a daily basis. I would never dream of changing salons. It is refreshing to see all of the stylist taking the time to talk with their clients prior to cutting or coloring their hair. The stylist always take the time to discuss your lifestyle prior to making any changes to your style. All of the girls are the BEST!! My 13 year old son has noticed what a great job Val does with my hair and he insists on having Val cut his hair also. \r\n\r\nI would highly recommend any of the stylist from Magnolias Salon and Spa!

I've been going to Magnolias since I was referred to Carolyn by a friend. I have had nothing but awesome experiences with her. Not only is she skilled at what she does but she is has a friendly and personable attitude everytime I come in. I love the way my hair comes out and I love her style. I highly reccommend anybody to Magnolias!!!

I love Magnolias!! I have been to tons and tons of salons and this place is fabulous!!!\r\nI called on a whim and got booked with Christen . . . she is now my stylist for life! (For some reason I can't seem to find anybody I love -- so I am constantly changing places . . . not anymore!!!)\r\n\r\nChristen is super sweet and she totally took care of me! She gave me a great cut and fabulous highlights/color. (My hair was drab before -- now it really shines and my hubby loves it too!!) I can't tell you how many compliments I have gotten on my hair.\r\n\r\nMy only wish is that I wish I would have found Christen sooner! I can't tell you how many times I have driven by Magnolias and never called . . . ya gotta call!!!\r\n\r\nThank you Christen and Magnolias . . . y'all are fabulous!!
Pros: Christen is wonderful!! Paulli (the receptionist) was super sweet too!!

The Salon To Go To!
by shanpool at Citysearch May 02 .
This salon is full of positive energy and fantastic stylists! Everyone is so friendly - it 's fun going! It is the least bit stuffy or snobby. Val has been doing my hair for about 7 years and I leave there every time feeling GREAT!!! She's wonderful for ideas as well!
by chrissynell at Citysearch May 02 .
Best Salon in Orlando by Far!!
Cons: we are in the fab lanes!!!!
by Paulliosity at Citysearch May 02 .
Amazing Salon, Talented Staff, fun and energetic!!!! You should see Carolyn O'Grady!! She is great with cuts and colors!! You will fall in love with her work and personality in just one visit!
by Jeanne49 at Citysearch May 02 .
Whenever I am in the Orlando area I always make an appointment with Carrie to have my color and highlights updated. She does a fantastic job with my color and my hair is always so soft and silky. \r\nI always have raves about my hair after I have been to see her. The shop is fantastic and everyone is so friendly that I wish could visit more often.
by MMintline at Citysearch May 02 .
I couldn't even think about anyone else doing my hair after going to Carrie at Magnolias! I have always been one of those girls who tear out a picture in a magazine and say ""I want this"" and walk out wondering why it didn't look the same. I was looking for a style that fits my face and after finding Carrie a year and a half ago NO ONE else has touched a hair on my head! She takes the time to look at the picture and will tell me how we should tweak it, so it look good on ME and becomes my signature, not a copycat. She is absolutely AMAZING with color, my highlights always complement my skin tone. I really feel like I could do a hair commercial! The cut, the color... and let's not talk about how soft it has become, Carrie has so much product knowledge! It seems like running his hands absent-mindedly through my hair is my boyfriend's new favorite thing. Speaking of men, I saw her doing a men's haircut a couple weeks ago while I was waiting for my appointment and I have a appt. for my boyfriend to go to her next week. I am excited to see what she comes up for him!!
I feel like I belong in a commercial!
Pros: Carrie is always accommodating to my busy schedule.
by katierusso at Citysearch May 02 .
I would ONLY trust MAGNOLIAS !!!!
Pros: very relaxing, you can be yourself!
by Barbydoll at Citysearch May 02 .
Cons: I just wish I had found them sooner and not wasted $$ in other salons.
by treehugger32 at Citysearch May 02 .
You will not find a more warm, caring, friendly and fun salon anywhere like this one! My sister and I both see stylist Abigail (Abby.) She does a superb job with our color, cut and style that my sister says even her mother-in-law who owns salons in the DC area would adore Abby! The other staff at Magnolias are wonderful! Take our word for it and enjoy yourself!
Pros: Offer you drinks, ample parking, good energy.
Cons: a bit expensive but worth every penny!
by kkaiser356 at Citysearch May 02 .
A great salon and wonderful atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. My first visit was with Carrie for my color and she did an amazing job! I will be back for sure and I can't wait to try the other spa services they offer as well.
If you've been to or used Magnolias Salon And Spa, leave a review.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a total dreamboat.
Liberals may sell off public assets to help bankroll infrastructure
The federal government has identified a potential source of cash to help pay for Canada's mounting infrastructure costs — and it could involve leasing or selling stakes in major public assets such as highways, rail lines, and ports.
A line tucked into last month's federal budget reveals the Liberals are considering making public assets available to non-government investors, like public pension funds.
The sentence mentions "asset recycling," a system designed to raise money to help governments bankroll improvements to existing public infrastructure and, possibly, to build new projects....
Just like Wynne. No surprise.
Despite the Orwellian euphemism, it's called privatization. And the Liberals in general seem more enthusiastic about it than the Conservatives.

Trudeau apologizes in House over misleading remarks on electoral reform delay
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized to the House of Commons during question period for remarks he made to the media on Wednesday, alleging that the opposition was not co-operating on electoral reform.
During question period on Thursday, Conservative MP Scott Reid argued that was not the case at all. He said the story Trudeau was telling of opposition delay was "invented and patently false."
Reid said that in the past six months he has only met twice with Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef, briefly, and he added that the same was true for his NDP counterpart.
Trudeau apologized for his misleading remarks, and said, "Mr. Speaker, I apologize through you to the member of the House. We are engaged in many different processes and on the focus of electoral reform — we know how important it is and how passionately members of this House feel about it, and I look forward to ensuring we get moving on this committee in short order."

Canada's New Foreign Affairs Minister is on 2014 Russia Travel Ban List - by Roger Annis
https://www.newcoldwar.org/canadas-new-foreign-affairs-minister-2014-rus...
"Canada's new, right-wing and pro-globalist minister of foreign affairs, Chrystia Freeland, is one of 13 pro-Ukraine coup extremists who are banned by the Russan government from travel to Russia as of March 2014.
Of the 13 Canadians banned in March 2014, seven were ministers and other elected members of Parliament of the Conservatives, two were advisors to Harper and three were opposition MPs - Irwin Cotler and Chrystia Freeland from the Liberal Party and Paul Dewar from the New Democratic Party. The 13th person is Paul Grod, president of the extreme-right Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
Freeland has written frequent anti-Russia screeds in support of the Ukrainian government. As part of the cabinet shuffle which assigned Freeland to foreign affairs, she will retain responsibility for existing trade agreements with the United States, including the 1994 NAFTA.
A lengthy article on Chrystia Freeland's past business and political career was published by Moscow-based writer John Helmer in November 2015. Her meetings with Donald Trump or his billionaire cabinet members should be interesting. She is a vociferous proponent in favour of expanded, unfettered globalized capitalism, so-called free trade."
Speaking of Canada, Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov said last year "Russia was stunned by the absence of pragmatism as Canada followed the blatant interests of the Ukrainian diaspora ignoring Canada's national interest." *

Better do some research about Ukrainian fascism and Canadian support. And about what CETA means. And just wait till you see what 'renegotiating' NAFTA may bring.
So maybe you could elaborate on how she will cause a catastrophe for Russia. Is she going to declare war? Is she going to increase sanctions on Russia until we all drink Polish vodka? What actual things to you think she can to to harm your mortal enemy?
Actually, it will be Ukrainian vodka. A special section of the Canada/Ukraine Free Trade agreement, specifically favours this. And wouldn't you know it, a member of the Canada's Ukronazi lobby (UCC) just happens to own a piece of a company set up to profit from precisely this.

The grandfather moved from Scotland to Canada at the age of 3 in 19011.
I was at a meeting last night where an immigrant brought this up and discussed the idiocy of Trudeau's comment. Afterwards I thought it about not so much as idiocy but arrogance. When you have an individual who believes that a large number of issues and challenges in the country can be seen through the prism of their own life and finds the most trivial connections to reinforce this you have a serious problem. It really is a most artificial type of empathy.

Justin Trudeau's giant corporate giveaway
While prime minister Justin Trudeau flogged our public assets last week, he had a soothing message: rest assured, we'll be well-served by the private sector. Bankers and billionaires lined up to sound a note of confidence. "I think it's unprecedented," exclaimed Canada's top business lobbyist John Manley. "A once-in-a-generation opportunity," enthused Trudeau's economic advisory council.
These corporate figures are rubbing their hands because Trudeau is about to put one of our great crises in their hands: the need for historic investment in the country's infrastructure, for so long the domain of the state.
No one will deny the urgency. Roads and bridges are crumbling and congested with traffic. Subways and buses overcrowded and underfunded. We need a roll-out of emissions-reducing initiatives to avert catastrophic climate change, and a build-up of defences to protect ourselves from floods and fires already locked in.
But many will question the Liberals plan to deal with it: selling off existing public assets to raise money, and having private investors fund, build and operate new infrastructure. If they get their way, expect a wave of privatizations—targeting public services and goods like roads, ports, airports, utilities, the post office, and more. According to Adam Vaughan, one of its Liberal architects, there simply isn't an alternative: "to be afraid of the private sector when you're trying to fix this country's infrastructure is shortsighted…stupid, irresponsible."
By responsible and far-sighted, does Vaughan mean the result of past Canadian experiments in privatization? Unsafely constructed schools. Packed, dangerous prisons. Water treatment systems flooded with sewage. Super hospitals built with faulty wiring in emergency rooms. Senior care homes over-run with inedible food and filth.....

He's unified Canadian parties with his condemnation. Including the PQ,where Bernard Drainville,the man who hatched the Quebec values idea,praised Trudeau on Twitter. The NDP also support him. But take a wild guess who's remaining silent. Only Michael Chong shared a comment where he expressed disapproval, saying the ban would not be looked on favourably by one of the most beloved Republican presidents in American history. What a deluded fuckwit.
The current right wing is making it clear that it is now a radical insurgency across the globe. Fascism is on its way.

I am confused by your post -- Chong is a Conservative. Are you criticizing him or saying he is the only reasonable one? I think I follow you but this not the best worded comment.
You say Trudeau united Canada -- well in words perhaps but not any action I can identify.
Trudeau is saying that those people can come here but he has made no statement to make that true. Is he increasing the number of refugees? Are we going to take anyone refused by the US? (That would mean unlimited numbers from those countries so that cannot be true.) Is Trudeau increasing the refugee numbers after having just reduced government supported refugees below the last few years' average? Is Trudeau planning to add resources to refugee programs?
No, he tweets and his words so far appear empty.
Canada needs a PM who is about more than rhetoric. His words are always lovely but we are past a simple requirement for words. We need both answers and action.

The Conservatives silence on this issue makes it clear that they are as extremist as Trump,LePen,the NPD etc...there's a far right insurgency that's spreading like a cancer all over the globe.

Smithee:
But, if I'm reading it correctly, Chong said "The ban would not be looked on faavourably by one of the most beloved Republican presidents in history". So I assume he wasn't talking about Trump, since obviously Trump approves of his own ban.
My guess was he was talking about either Lincoln or Reagan. The latter certainly is not beloved in my heart, but he does tend to get cited by Republicans lamenting some aspect or other of current party policy.
He was clearly referring to Trump. Reagan and Lincoln are dead. And if they were still alive,the right wing of today would call them both commies.
No, he was clearly not referring to Trump. Why would Trump not look with favor upon his own ban?
OK..Tell me who he's referring to. Obama?
Edzell
It's clearly clear that it's unclear who Chong referred to. Only he can say - but will he lie?
They don't mention it. My guess is Reagan. The real fuckwit is Bernier who ducked the question by saying it was a "U.S. internal matter."
Alan looks like your reading is not the same as several others.
You see the statement has a condition "would" -- I took it as the condition that if they were alive they would not approve.
ETA: the article is extremely poorly written without any context when certainly we know there must have been some. I suspect he was speaking about Reagan. Nobody, and certainly not Chong, would describe Trump that way.
I think it is most likely he is talking about Reagan -- the one who had Reagan Democrats, won with a landslide and is god for many republicans. I think he was saying that guy, if he were here to see it, would not approve. And that says something as he was a pretty conservative, conservative.
I guess I read it wrong and jumped to the conclusion that a Conservative MP would call Trump one of the most beloved American presidents in history. It certainly wouldn't be a stretch but his statement is still unclear since he did not mention a name.
Actually Lincoln would also be a candidate.
ETA: http://www.thetoptens.com/most-popular-presidents-us-history/
Lincoln is no longer beloved by Republicans. He believed in "big" government, opposed states rights, and interfered with the "right" of private property,
I suspect he did mention a name but the journo did a bad job of writing and editing.
montrealer58
How about less metachat?
You're right about Bernier. O'Leary's saying nothing and I suspect Leitch genuinely believes Trump is one of the most beloved Republican presidents in history.
Well, Chong didn't neccessarily mean "beloved by Republicans". Just that he WAS a Republican. Who was beloved(presumably by Americans in general).
And while their own policies might be a negation of everything Lincoln stood for, I think most Republicans would still pay lip-service to his iconic status, in the same way that people who say "I believe in an eye for an eye!!" would still claim to love Jesus. Because saying you hate Jesus is just not done.
