Sneak Peek: 5 Stocks Hedge Funds Love This Fall
TE Connectivity
Another strong performer this year has been TE Connectivity ( TEL). Despite being in the middle of a restructuring effort, TEL has still managed to double the broad market's run year-to-date. And hedge funds have been picking up shares as a result; in the last quarter, the early 13F filers increased their stakes in TE Connectivity from just $6 million to $46 million.
>>4 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
TE Connectivity's core business is making electrical connectors. While that may frankly sound a bit boring, there's no reason why boring companies can't provide investors with very exciting stocks. The ubiquity of electronic connectors in so many applications provides a very attractive market for TEL's products, especially as industrial production continues to recover from the lows watermarks of 2008. TEL's restructuring efforts have been a case of short-term pain in exchange for long-term gain; now this stock is starting to see truly improved operational figures. TEL has done a stellar job of paying down debt and building up its cash position. Today, the firm sports more than $1.2 billion in cash that offsets relatively small leverage for an industrial manufacturing firm. TE Connectivity's cash generation capabilities should continue to reward investors in the last quarter of the year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

2015 marks 125 years for Camino Global. Explore the rich history that has shaped the mission over the years — from historical photos and videos to archived publications.

Plan for an internship this summer that will change your life as you live out the gospel and serve others.
The Philippines has been a growing new field for Camino since 2012. Now, in partnership with FAM International, Camino is growing a team and breaking new ground. Partner with us to fuel evangelism in a densely non-Christian part of this nation.

In October 2015, you can tour with Camino from Madrid to Seville to hear the story
December 4, 2014
In 2015, Camino President Douglas Livingston and European Mobilization Director Chris Matthews will take a group on a historical tour to discover the untold story of the Spanish Reformation in the 16th century. Beginning in Madrid and winding its way to Seville, the tour will explore historically significant locations while intersecting with Camino missionaries in Spain.
You can enjoy authentic Spanish dining, cultural tours, and a taste of Camino's ministry in Spain, and the fascinating history of the Protestant Reformation in Spain.
In this video, Camino President Douglas Livingston, along with leaders from Christar, share how a partnership will accelerate the global missions movement as Latin-American workers reach the unreached in places where Christar currently serves. The potential for growth and impact of this relocation and partnership is tremendous.

On Friday, November 8, 2013, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall on earth devastated lives in the Philippines. For the past several years, Camino Global has taken active steps toward launching a long-term ministry team in the Philippines. The work of preparation we have done over the past two years has produced several strong ministry partners who are in a position to offer immediate help to those who are hurting right now.
As a Camino ministry partner, consider two ways to give and be a blessing to the people of the Philippines, both today and a year or so from today.

United Engineers' Q1 net profit up 3%
Published on May 15, 2014 10:43 PM
Contributions from its increased holding in WBL Group helped property developer and conglomerate United Engineers (UE) report healthier first quarter results.
Its net profit for the first quarter rose 3 per cent to $7.7 million from a year earlier while revenue soared 442 per cent to $739.9 million in the same period.
The consolidation of WBL Group's revenue injected about $504.2 million to its turnover, the firm said on Thursday.
Property sales at its Eight Riversuites condo also helped the firm record revenue of $97.5 million, while rental income from its UE BizHub East, Park Avenue Changi, UE BizHUB Tower and UE BizHub WEST helped add $56.1 million to its topline figures.

The district unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party staged a protest against the deregulation of petrol and the resultant hike in the prices of fuel.
A pot of water was placed on burning firewood to signify that it would soon be too expensive to buy fuel. Mangalore Mayor Rajani Dugganna said that when the price of crude oil decreased at the international level, the Government did not correspondingly reduce the fuel price but had hastened to increase when their prices had gone up in the international market.
Stating that Karnataka had been singled out, secretary of the district Mahila Morcha Sumana Sharan said, "The fuel prices in other States have not risen to the extent it has in Karnataka."
The common man would be put to hardship even further, as even kerosene had not been spared from the price rise. Criticising the move to increase the price of kerosene by Rs. 3 a litre, Ms. Sharan said that the below poverty line cardholders would be badly hit by the price rise. The middle class too would be burdened further, she said.
Member of the district BJP committee Ratnakar Nayak urged the Government to ban trading of essential foodgrains.
"People earn lakhs of rupees through forward trading in essential commodities. Because of this, food grains are becoming too expensive," he said.

For a brand with such a long history and iconic status, Le Creuset didn't have a U.S. facility befitting of the brand—until now. Formerly housed in a small office in downtown Charleston, Le Creuset has moved across the Ashley River to its own brand-new facility that is almost 9,000 square feet, includes a working kitchen, a gym, deck—and it's on the waterfront.
"It's a public space we never had for the brand," said Will Copenhaver, director of marketing communications, giving HFN a tour of the facility before it officially opened last month. "This is a new type of space for us."
Incorporating the French word for workshop, the L'Atelier de Le Creuset will serve as the company's North American Marketing and Culinary Center and represents a multi-million dollar investment in the Charleston community. It not only provides much needed room for the growing marketing, retail and web staff, but also allows the company to host events, whether that's bringing in local and national chefs for cooking demonstrations or working with local chapters of such organizations as the Food Bank for cause-related programs.
The facility's kitchen, designed by SieMatic and with Miele appliances, can accommodate 25 seated people or about 80 standing, Copenhaver said. And, recognizing today's needs, it's wired for filming. "We're moving into the content production game," he said, as consumers want recipes, product details and more. "We want to feed that channel." It can also be used for cooking classes—an important consideration as Charleston is one of the top U.S. destinations for bridal showers, he said.
"We wanted to have a space that chefs really feel comfortable in." Next to the kitchen is a prep kitchen and a changing room is available upstairs. Outside, plans for fruit trees and an herb garden are in the works.
Le Creuset touches are found throughout the facility, such as the reception area, which uses closeups of its cookware colors to create a decorative wall element. Large Le Creuset French ovens are used as sinks in the bathrooms. Some corporate environments are "stuffy," Copenhaver said. "We didn't want [our new facility] to feel like that … Le Creuset is about fun and joy."
The 1,500-square-foot deck is another spot where the company can hold events, with views of downtown Charleston and the marina.
Copenhaver is clearly inspired by the new location, and has a host of other possible ideas, such as having cruises, given its neighbor is a marina. As well as others: "I'm pushing for a work hammock," he joked.

Rih Rih skips out on dress rehearsal, show staffers reportedly upset.
Rihanna rocked the stage as the musical guest on SNL this weekend with performances of new songs "Talk That Talk" and "Where Have You Been," but behind the scenes, staffers and producers for the show were less than pleased with the pop star.
TMZ reports that Rih Rih skipped out on a dress rehearsal right before the live show aired Saturday night — something that just isn't done on the venerable variety series.
Rihanna claimed that she was too sick to perform at the final rehearsal — which takes place in front a live studio audience — and sent a choreographer to dance in her place. But when showtime came, the pop star was reportedly seen walking around backstage eating an apple and looking fine.
The dress rehearsal is a big tradition at SNL, and producers tell TMZ that they can't remember the last time a performer was a no-show.
Representatives for Rihanna insisted that the illness was no joke — she was visited by a doctor before she went on — and said she only wanted to save her voice for the main event.
Rihanna was the musical guest for the show that was hosted by New York Giants Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning.

We ate here because of the ratings, and they were correct. The menu had a good choice of items and as you would expect a good number of seafood items. The food was very fresh and well prepared. When getting clams or oysters it is important to eat at a place where they know what they are doing. They know what they are doing here. The service was good as it was a very busy Friday night. We would go back if ever in the area again.

Kids are funny.

I was at the range today & was having an issue w/ my magazine that I wanted to run by everyone:
It's a 12-round magazine for my M&P9c. For the first few go-arounds I would load it w/ 5 rounds & cycle through it & 2 other magazines I had. Then I started to load all 3 w/ 10-12 rounds. I load the ammo into the magazines w/ 9mm Glock mag loader. On almost every cycle where the one particular mag had 10-12 rounds it was ALWAYS jamming up w/ exactly 5 rounds left. The remaining 5 rounds in the mag would come tumbling out & I'd have to stick a pen down the magazine to get the spring to rise back up to the top.
Upon getting home I opened the magazine up & there doesn't appear to be any obvious obstructions, though there is a little bit of grime along parts of the spring.
Any ideas what could've been causing the magazine to consistently lock up at the 5-round mark? Anything I should be looking out for or doing when I clean it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm a huge fan of mario badescu products, and was was intrigued by this bee vemon trend celebs have been doing.
Like the other reviewers said, it is definitely a balm, feel very nice and moisturizing but doesn't absorb right away. I woke up with glowing smooth and soft, soft SOFT skin.
Was beautiful and did everything it was suppose too, but if you have acne prone skin be careful. It left me with a bunch on small bumps on my cheeks and so did with mario badescu's moisturizing rosehip mask (also not for acne prone skin!) So I won't be re purchasing it but it's something I can definitely see myself using in the future for anti aging!
I bought this because it was recommended to my mom after she did her skin care questionnaire and she used up her sample and constantly talked about how amazing it was. We both have the same skin type and issues going on with our skin, so of course I had to hop on the internet and order my own jar (18 USD for a one ounce jar) because I have a thing for moisturizers and was on the look out for a good night cream.
When I first opened my jar of this night cream, I immediately noticed the smell (in a good way!) and how it looked (a light color but VERY thick consistency). I was a bit skeptical because I have combination skin that is quite oily on my forehead, top of my nose, and chin with dry spots between my eyebrows, the sides of my nose, and the tops of my cheeks (weird, I know). I did not want to wake up in the morning oily or with acne and that was what I was most afraid of.
Well the first night that I used it, I will admit, I think that I went a bit overboard with how much I used. I applied it as I would any other moisturizer, which in this case, may have been a bit too much. I woke up in the morning, and I did not have pimples, but along the bridge of my nose and on my forehead, I still had some remaining product that had not been absorbed. So I waited a couple nights and decided to try again. This time I used a very small amount (which makes a lot more sense now that I think about it, because of how creamy it is and easy to smooth onto your skin) and woke up in the morning with soft, smooth, clear skin.
I love this night cream and I am so glad that I purchased it and gave it a second chance. It is amazing and it works well when paired over a face oil for additional moisture. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.

I thought this might be too thick for my combo skin but its the opposite. A little does go a long way and I have found this to be great as a night time cream. It sinks into my skin and I don't wake up with an oil slicked face. I expected that I might break out or my blackheads would get worse but it's actually making my skin look better. I am noticing better results with this cream than with the Priori one I was using
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
One of the few Mario Badescu products I would repurchase. This is the first MB product that I really wanted. I love how thick and creamy this lotion is. Not too heavy, can be greasy but since it's a night cream that doesn't bother me at all. I have oily/ acne prone skin so I use a lot of products that dry my skin out but with this cream my skin stays in balance. It's nice that a little goes a long way since the jar is quite small. I don't have a problem with this product breaking me out but everyone's skin is different. Mario Badescu has a nice return policy so even if it does give you problems you don't have to be stuck with it. This is probably the night cream I will stick with for the foreseeable future.
Feels totally awesome. I have a problem with night creams absorbing really fast over night but not this. It isn't greasy in the morning either.
More reviews by happylynngilmer
I have combo, sensitive, acne prone Irish-Scandinavian skin, with scarring.
I agree with the MUAer who wrote below me that this a balm. I was scared to use this at first since I'm prone to break outs, but the smell enticed me. It called to me! I tried just a tad...and the next day I swear my face was smoother and more even. I ended up using the whole sample over the course of 9 days, and this stuff is so good I'm buying a full size. I don't like tubs, I don't think they're very hygienic, but as long as my fingers are clean when I use it, I can't complain much, lolz.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love. My skin always looks positively radiant after using this cream and no matter how much I use it its never broken me out (I thought it might at first since its incredibly hydrating and I have combo-bordering-oily skin). I alternate between this and Marios seaweed night cream though anyways. Oh, and the jar lasts forever so its well worth the price.
This cannot really be called a cream...it is more of a balm. It is VERY moisturizing, and would be considered greasy by most. I use it prior to using my High Frequency device, which dries skin. Even after that, it keeps my dry skin smooth all night in an arid winter climate. The light honey scent is very nice, and the consistency good. I used it all over the face, neck, and eye area.
The one negative for me on this is that MB is still using parabens as preservatives. Until they change to P-20 or another non-estrogenic preservative, I will stick with Weleda's Everon for when my skin really needs help.
The Mario Badescu Website reccomends this night cream for combination, dry and sensitive skin and describes it as "A skin softening cream providing a combination of natural oils with Bee Pollen and Honey Extract that hydrate and improve the texture of the skin overnight". A jar lasts me about three months and I've used two. I've also tried the Mario Badescu Vitamin E Night Cream, but this is my favorite. My skin is very dry, fair, acne prone and slightly sensitive. When using this I wake up with soothed, moisturized and radiant skin. It's a great night cream!
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Vegetable Oil, Peanut Oil,Octyl Palmitate,Protopet, Beeswax,Stearic Acid,Myristyl Myristate,Dimethicone,Cetyl Alcohol,Quaternium-60,Sodium Borate,Glycerin,Pollen Extract,Imidazolidinyl Urea,Sodium Benzoate,Propylparaben,Methylparaben, Honey Extract
Update: It is now the end of 2013 and I have not used this moisturiser in years. I do not know what made me stop but one thing is certain and that is that I have not looked back. Since stopping I have cleaned up my skincare routine and I now have a very simple but effective routine. My skin have improved a lot since doing this and I no longer experience the regular breakouts, irritation and dryness that I used to. My perioral dermatitis is also long gone (with the help of antibiothics). For moisture I now use a hyaluronic acid serum by Garden of Wisdom topped with the German Nivea in the blue tin.

Thanks for adopting her! She's beautiful! I adopted 3 of my dogs and they are the best! I got a shirt that says " I (heart) my Pound Puppy!" and got Rover one that says"I'm a Pound Puppy!" We wear them when we go to dog events...LOL! |
the best kind of love !! |
How darling! I add my thanks for adopting. What a lucky girl and a beautiful friend for your boxer boy. |
She's a sweetheart, and so are you for adopting her! Want to give us her name again, please? |
Rescue had been calling her Charlie the past couple of weeks. We gave her the new name of Zoe (rhymes with Joey and signifies the life force). (The original post shows strange characters because I put an accent on the("e") She's currently sleeping peacefully on the floor next to my side of the bed and our boy dog is snoozing too. Sweet. |

2008 Nissan Sentra
ProsThe car is comfortable, fuel economy is decent and accessories are good for its value. ConsCVT transmission is HORRIBLE.
Frustrated. — The transmission on my 2008 Nissan Sentra went out in 2010 at 65,000 miles, losing all power while I was on the freeway. Very scary scenario. Found out they'd just extended the warranty from 60,000 to 120,000 miles, so they replaced my transmission for free, though I had to pay for my own hotel (was out of town) and miss a day of work. Now, at 121,000 miles, the check engine light came on and dealer says the transmission is about to take a dump again. Opening a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs to see what they'll do. Otherwise, I'm told it'll be nearly $3,800 to repair. I would NOT recommend a car with a CVT transmission. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2008 Nissan Sentra
Prosno positives Constransmission broken
The 2008 Nissan Sentra With The Cvt Transmission Is A Piece Of Junk — I bought a 2008 nissan sentra with the cvt transmission. At 30,000 miles the transmission sounded loud. I brought it to the dealership and they blamed it on 4 feathered tires. These tires were the second set of tires on the car with only 14,000 on them. At 60,000 miles the noise got even louder. Brought it back to Nissan and they said that the transmission was shot and they would not pay for it because it was over the 60,000 mile warranty. Still fighting with Nissan to pay to fix it. Would not recommend this car to anyone. If you want a real Jap car go to Toyota. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2008 Nissan Sentra Base
Prosgood mileage, lots of power, smooth ride, easy to drive Consthere are no negarives
This Is An Elegant, Practical Car That Is A Pleasure To Drive... — I liked the power of this car, the looks, style, design. It is well built, solid and sturdy, provides a smooth, comfortable ride and looks great. Acceleration is excellent, right there for you whenever you need it, it does not fail you, in the city or on the free way. The breaking is smooth and dependable, responsive, immediate. The car is a pleasure to drive, relaxing, not a chore to dirive, but fun and enjoyable. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2008 Nissan Sentra S
ProsFuel economy, ride quality, interior ConsPaint depth, some body panels rattle
My First Car — This was my first car, purchased new in June 2008. It was plenty zippy for me, handling was decent, and it had a comfortable ride. Fuel economy was on par with other cars in it's class, and the interior styling was great. One thing that bothered me is that there is a rattle between the door panel and the edge of the front door (on both sides). I have an appointment scheduled to fix it, but haven't yet solved the problem. Also, the paint seems to be extremely thin all the way around the car. In the first month of ownership I had two rock chips. I'd also gotten a rock chip on the windshield during the second month of ownership. More than likely because I drive on a road constantly full of rock haulers. Overall, it's a solid little car with decent build quality, a fresh apperance, and plenty of power and fuel economy out of it's 2 liter engine. The price I paid was well below what it's competitors cost (I paid $13,900 for the 2.0S with a six speed manual). Would I buy it again? More than likely. It's affordable, and gets the job done. |
2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
Prosno problems at all ConsIts a sentra lol..
Beeee Sixteen Spec — Decent acceleration, good brakes, good handling. Very good build quality, doesn't squeak as much as the b15 specs. Its a 20k sports economy car so you get what you pay for. I like the appearance of my prius err I mean sentra. Very fun to drive, 6 spd with a short shifter is always fun. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2008 Nissan Sentra S
ProsCVT - Fuel Economy - Ride - Seat Comfort - Smart Key - Bluetooth - Sound System - Headlights - Space - Power Everything - ABS - EBS - Air Bags Everywhere - Remote Trunk - On and On and On! ConsGetting used to the shiftless transmission. I wish the suspension in the rear was a bit more tuned for handling like the Focus, but you would lose the ride comfort.
Hands Down The Best Car Under 20k. — I have owned a 2008 S model with the CVT and Smart Key. I paid 17,300, but I got the features of a 25K car! I was looking at Fit/Focus/Versa, but after the test drive I was sold on the Sentra. The CVT is leaps and bounds ahead of other CVTs I have driven. The cab is spacious and the partitioned trunk and rear seats that lay flat make for an extremely versatile car. I admit Im a hatchback type of guy, but the Fit and Versa are too small and underpowered. They are great cars,BUT the seat comfort of the Sentra is well above the 30K cars from other brands. My friend just bought a 28K Accord and I couldnt bear to tell him my car is more comfortable. I average 28-29 MPG in town and 31-35 on the highway doing 75MPH+. This car cruises very very well at 85+! The bluetooth feature is a lifesaver. I feel much much safer with that feature and its really nice to keep both hands on the wheel when driving. Ride is just awesome and the CVT gives alot of low end thrust. The Smart key is real nice. I just press a button to get in the car and turn the ignition and drive away! Even better I left my key fob in car and the car let me know! I could go on and on, but I say buy one and see for yourself! Owner for 0 years, 1 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 |
2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
Prosbuy it. if you want an off the shelf performance sport compact brand new , but dont want to spend alot this is then car. hih rev high comp 4 cylinder 6spd with lsd nismo tuned suspension sway bars springs struts and crossmember. and the car sounds wonderful too. Consnot family friendly due to the sport suspension from factory. somewhat thirsty when you gun it but a 6.5 0-60 from a n/a 4 cylinder sentra is nothing to complain about
My Favorite Car — I bought this car after getting rid of my subaru impreza. wanted something cheap with potential and looked nice i stumbled upon this car and was immediatly smitten. the interior was onderful quality the seats were all out race seats. 6cd changer power sunroof two subs from factory and a rally style dash shifter. what suprised me was how quick this was stock. i was easily beating the new gen civic si. 1.8t and vr6 vws stood no chance. the performanc comes from a high revving 10.5:1 n/a 4 cylinder making 200hp and 180ft lbs, my car dynoed stock in the low 170 whp range but this cars takes to modification wonderfully. i ended up dragging it alot once i realized how well nitrous took to this car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2008 Nissan Sentra S
ProsGreat gas mileage! ConsSmall mechanical issues, small interior, not suitable for 2 carseats.
Small Family Car — Wanted a car that was really good on gas and safe. After so long, the switch for the driver window started acting up where you couldn't roll the window up. Key FOB had a hidden key inside to use in case battery died in FOB. However, when hidden key was used, car alarm went off everytime the door opened even after it had been driven for a while. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R
Proslooks great, sounds great, a real head turner Consno break away mirrors, sunglass holder sticks
My 2008 Sentra Se-r — I replaced my 94 Sentra XE with the 08 SE-R and could not be happier. I do wish it had a few more bells & whistles like the radio controls in the steering wheel and break away mirrors. The CVT transmission is smooth and works well as an automatic or in manual mode with the paddle shifters. My only problem was a defective tire. A bubble showed up out of no where that Nissan said must have been road conditions. It was about $300 to replace. It is decent on gas about 27-30 mpg for a city/hwy combo. Hey I live in NYC! That is great with all the stop and go traffic we have. It does get a good hwy run each day though. |
2008 Nissan Sentra S
Prosbuild quality. Consacceleration, agility, so-so acceleration for class.
Just So-so — based on the altima's standout performance, i expected the sentra to be right there as well. i was wrong. the sentra is adequate at best. it's underpowered and not as agile as you'd expect. overall it is not that great of a car. it gets good fuel economy, but it's just so-so for the class. however, i will recommend it because it is not a bad car, just not a good one. |

GS News - EA posts $381 million loss
Battlefield publisher in the red after recording $711 million in total revenue; EA Labels boss calls critical reception for Medal of Honor: Warfighter disappointing.
One part of me is happy thinking pperhaps EA will get a shock from this and realize it needs to revitalize the industry with new IPs, the other part is saddened by this because we all know what happens when a company doesn't fare well, pink slips, and who wants that before Xmas.
After ME3 ending i cannot see how any future game on the ME universe with Casey Hudson as writer will be "respectful" of the franchise. Mizuka and Zeschuk already left, Bioware might aswell be renamed to EAware as things stand.
I won't be surprised that the next ME game will be a generic FPS set on any of the three major conflicts on the galaxy, either Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions or First Contact War... sure they will sell it as Mass Effect, but the soul of what true ME experience is will be completely lost by then.
This is all because their FIFA games keep neglecting Poland. Seriously. Just one Polish stadium. At least a few non-generic players. They aren't ALL bland-faced skinheads.
Do you guys know why they lost a huge amount of revenues bigtime? it's because of those biased bad reviews of all gamer sites. it's really a bad kind of propaganda that makes good games like moh:warfighter fall deep like shit, reviewers give bad reviews hence most end users/customers will end up not buying the product. most reviewers say that it is bad timing for modern warfare based games to come out? why did battlefield 3 that came out just 6mos ago get good reviews whilst moh:wf get shitty ass reviews? and they also say that there's no new features and whatnot that this game has? did they even play all the game mode this game has to offer? come to think of it, why did mw3 even get good reviews while that shooter span for three consecutive games without new features only game modes, isn't that game the same all over again three times over?, what's new in the codmw games? storyline? LOL seriously.. LOL.. i honestly think, what they're aiming for with that statement, is point out to COD's new move/innovation like CODBO2's switch to scifi genre is better? wow. really..
all i can say is, fcuk all those bad reviews, honestly, this game is good and by far the best modern warfare based shooter that i've seen so far. look at the uk charts for proof. this is my honest opinion, no more no less. for all i care is, i've lost faith to gamer site reviews. for they are biased and somewhat subjective to there own preferences. gamers have different preferences but sadly most gamers tend to look at reviews first before even playing a game. sad but true.
Well, if Electronic Arts dies, that gives Activision full control to release the same game every year and people will have no option but to buy it... no wait, that happens already. Seriously though, pull all their big games off the number 1 digital distribution system? Not so clever.
To quote EA "the company's performance exceeded analysts' expectations." EA "will post a profit of $0.50 to $0.60 per share on revenue of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion." Trust me, these A-holes are not suffering despite being the number one reason why the gaming industry keeps turning out crap clones of games, and stifling developer creativity and small market competition.
Thanks Jess. I wonder if EA will ever realise that their poor treatment of their customers/former customers that's the main reason for them continuing to lose money.

OK, so I made my first 5 gal batch a week or so ago, and it should be at 5 weeks just in time for Christmas. I also made another batch to age. When aging for extended periods of time, do you leave it in the fermenter, or do you rack to bottles after fermentation and age in the bottle? I've been looking through the thread, but have not seen the answer yet...
Well, I had a sanke sitting around, so I made a big batch (15 gal) and stuck an airlock/stopper in the top. I was planning to let it sit for 6 months or so, but I wasn't sure if it would be better to bottle before to get it off the yeast.
I would actually rack it out of the primary (and its yeast cake trub) into a secondary rather than let it sit too much longer than about 2 months. I left my first batch in the primary for 6 full months without racking it off of the trub, and it almost turned to vinegar due to autolysis of the yeast. I backsweetened it with a fresh gallon of apple juice and two cans of apple concentrate, but it's still very, very tart - too tart for my wife to drink. I'd STRONGLY recommend taking it off of the primary yeast cake if you're looking at long-term aging. Bottle it or put it in a different glass carboy.
My first batch has been in a primary for three months today. Think I'll bottle this weekend and start a third batch. Second batch is close behind and should be ready for bottling the next week or so.
I put made my first batch the beginning of October and bottled about a month later leaving 3 gallons to batch age. I drank about 16oz last night and was pleased with it, my wife even liked it so I know just about everyone else will too. But, I curse you Edwort.
I put a quart of passionfruit juice in mine... I'm curious to see if that will even have any effect on the taste. Sounds like cinnamon can have too much of an effect. I've got some dried berries; cranberries, cherries and blueberries. I'm thinking about tossing some in there...
Primary -- empty :( Secondary -- Apple cider In Keg -- Wheat Ale Bottled -- Bennington Wedding Ale On Deck -- Rogenbier

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Are you stupid or anti Semite? Obama's plan is to allow the Islamists to
destroy Israel. He wants to destabilize the entire world so he and his
backers can take over the entire world and you so stupidly are agreeing with
him. Your reports have been days behind what is really happening that i
rarely even bother to read your old data. Anyone who just reads the news can
read between the lines better than you can explain them. Get better at your
job or close up your shop. Of course it is possible that you are part of the
problem. So now when I do read your tripe I will have to read it even more
critically than I have been.

King County judicial ratings raise more questions
In her campaign for an open seat on the King County Superior Court, Seattle lawyer Elizabeth Berns has been endorsed by several judges - including two retired state Supreme Court justices.
Associated Press
In her campaign for an open seat on the King County Superior Court, Seattle lawyer Elizabeth Berns has been endorsed by several judges - including two retired state Supreme Court justices.
The King County Bar Association's screening committee, however, deemed her unfit for the bench.
It's the second time this year that a well-respected, female, minority judicial candidate in King County - Berns is gay - received a "not qualified" rating from the committee, and it's raising questions about the process by which the weighty evaluations are made.
"I am dumbfounded to see how KCBA could have given Elizabeth Berns a `not qualified,'" former state Supreme Court Justice Faith Ireland wrote in an email to the Associated Press. "I am left with the impression that something is seriously broken in the KCBA judicial evaluation process."
Ratings from local or minority bar associations, such as Washington Women Lawyers, are a crucial source of information for voters trying to pick among little-known judicial candidates in Washington state.
The possible ratings are typically not qualified, qualified, well qualified and exceptionally well qualified. They are designed to be given without regard to the credentials of a candidate's opponent. The ratings are based on a review of the candidate's background, statements from references and opposing counsel and an interview with the candidate.
Good ratings are flaunted in campaign literature. Bad ones, typically reserved for the inexperienced or the inept, can torpedo a campaign.
The process is confidential to encourage forthrightness. Candidates aren't told why they receive the rating they get, nor are they allowed to challenge information that might be false or misconstrued unless directly asked about it in their interviews.
The King County Bar Association's executive director, Andrew Prazuch, did not return calls or an email seeking comment.
Three of the 13 candidates for contested seats on the King County Superior Court received "not qualified" ratings from the screening committee- Berns, public defender Hong Tran, and Bellevue attorney Marianne Jones. Each has about two decades of legal experience, none of the three has ever been sanctioned by the Washington State Bar Association, and Ireland said she didn't understand how any of the three were deemed unqualified.
Tran's rating was suspended following an outcry from several judges and lawyers who came to her defense. She has not yet been given a new one.
Berns is running against deputy prosecutor Roger Davidheiser and state appeals court commissioner Eric Schmidt in the Aug. 7 primary. Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant, is running against deputy prosecutor Sean O'Donnell. Jones is one of three people challenging Judge Chris Washington.
Berns has spent the past three years as a pro-tem judge in King County District Court and a pro-tem commissioner in Superior Court. For 19 years, she says, her law practice included complex business transactions, real estate law and intellectual property management.
She received "well qualified" ratings from three of the minority bar associations that reviewed her, a "qualified" rating from another, and the highest rating - "outstanding" - from the Metropolitan League of King County. She's been endorsed by former Justices Ireland and Bobbe Bridge, as well as by Judge James Doerty, the openly gay judge whom she's running to replace.
Berns said she had a terrible experience with the King County Bar Association's screening committee. First, she said, the committee mistakenly sent to her materials that had been submitted by state Supreme Court candidate Sheryl McCloud. Then, the committee inadvertently designated Berns - rather than one of the committee's members - to call some of her own references. Those references wound up never being interviewed by the committee, Berns said.
Her interview before the committee itself was hostile, she said, and she was repeatedly cut off.
Finally, after Berns was informed of her "not qualified" rating, she emailed one of the co-chairs asking for an explanation. She was denied an explanation, and the response she received began, "Dear Ms. Allen."
"I was like, `Do you guys even know who you interviewed?'" Berns recalled. "There should be no interview with a judicial candidate that is hostile. We're qualified people, we're good people, we want to go on the bench and serve our community."
Doerty said he was impressed with the breadth of Berns' civil and pro-tem experience, and said she would help maintain diversity on the King County bench. He suggested that the ratings process should be more transparent, such as by having the committee reveal how many references it contacted.
"When you see someone who's not a crackpot, who is credible, get a not-qualified rating, you have to scratch your head," he said. "I would hope after the election the bar would recognize that there's a disconnect."
Ireland echoed that.
"I do intend to contact the presidents and judicial review chairs of all the bar rating organizations about courtesy, standards, consistency, transparency, confrontation rights and fairness after the elections," she wrote.

Man of La Mancha is a 1972 film adaptation of the Broadway musical Man of La Mancha by Dale Wasserman, with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion. The musical was suggested by the classic novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, but more directly based on Wasserman's 1959 non-musical television play, I, Don Quixote, which combines a semi-fictional episode from the life of Cervantes with scenes from his novel.

Penalty turns into big gift as extra kick rescues Bills [12:07 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'"I was called because I was the last one on the line," said Ostroski, who was reluctant to take credit for saving the Bills. "It should have been called on them because they jacked with our center."'
Key plays of the game [12:05 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'The Bills appeared to have scored on their second possession when they lined up for a field goal only to have holder Chris Mohr stand up and pass 37 yards to an uncovered Eric Moulds for what should have been a touchdown. But the officials ruled the ball was "not whistled ready for play" and nullified the play. Buffalo wound up punting.'
Clinton attends church while Lazio tries to pick up votes at Bills game [9:10 AM]
AP reports:
'Lazio began the day at the Buffalo Bills game in Ralph Wilson Stadium. Accompanied by his wife and two young daughters, he greeted fans in the parking lot amid tailgate parties complete with barbecues and beer. An airplane flew overhead with a banner reading "Lazio for Senate, www.lazio.com," while campaign aides handed out toy footballs bearing the message "Go Buffalo! Lazio for Senate." "I grew up a Giants fan," Lazio said, "but that doesn't mean I'm against the Bills. Today, I'm really hoping the Bills win and shut out the Chargers." His wish came true, in part: The Bills beat the San Diego Chargers, 27-24.'
Bills win a tough one, lose a QB [9:07 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'The Bills ended a three-game losing streak and leveled their record at 3-3 with a 27-24 overtime win over the winless San Diego Chargers before a sellout crowd in Ralph Wilson Stadium. The victory came despite an injury to Rob Johnson, who separated his shoulder in overtime. Johnson is expected to miss two to four weeks.'
Bills dodge lightning strike [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Everything that looked easy was made hard by the Bills on this day. The winless San Diego Chargers made so many mistakes that Bills fans could have been lighting victory cigars by halftime. But the Bills sunk to the Chargers' level - and actually went below it for the first three quarters. It wasn't until 8:26 of overtime was played that the crowd of 72,351 at Ralph Wilson Stadium was able to breathe a final sigh of relief.'
Moulds gets the job done [9:05 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"He's really come through, especially in the clutch," Bills coach Wade Phillips said of Moulds who, with 560 yards this year, is on pace for his second 1,000-yard season in two years. "We look for him a lot, but he's our big gun. He's our big guy. He's always there to make plays. I'm constantly amazed by him."'
Bills owe their lives to Riley's tinkering [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Thinking of the Bills as a playoff team is fantasy. They're not getting better and now they may be worse. The offensive line, a danger to quarterback Rob Johnson's health all season long, finally proved too much of a handicap to overcome. The sacks the line allows are bad enough, but it's double the misery when it allows a pass rusher to get close enough to its quarterback to knock him down after he gets rid of the ball.'
In three minutes, Flutie becomes man of the moment [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"I think I learned my lesson early on," Flutie said Sunday after the Bills' 27-24 overtime win over those same Chargers. "Since Day One, when I got the opportunity to go in, it's made it more imperative to me to always be ready. The opportunity could be there at any given moment."'
Ostroski steamed after fans vent [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Center Jerry Ostroski ripped the fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium for booing the players, quarterback Rob Johnson in particular, and coach Wade Phillips during the Bills' 27-24 overtime win over the San Diego Chargers. "Personally, I think it's damn ridiculous," Ostroski said. "It's sad when a football team is excited to go on the road because they don't want to play at home and get booed by their own fans and have their head coach called out and have their quarterback called out like that. I think it's a damn shame."'
Harbaugh can't revive dead Bolts [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"Jim went in there and did a great job of taking over our offense and moving it," Chargers linebacker Junior Seau said. "He's always going to be a stud. He's a gutsy player and always will be. He'll go down in history as "Captain Comeback' for a good reason." Harbaugh, though, wasn't interested in talking about his standing on the team or how the depth chart might read today. "Right now I'm just replaying the game in my mind," he said. "We had opportunities to win it."'
Monday billboard [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'The Buffalo Bills beat the lowly San Diego Chargers, 27-24, in an ugly overtime affair Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. A win is a win, but the Bills looked shoddy against one of the worst teams in the NFL.'
Flutie to lead Bills next week [5:54 AM]
D and C reports:
'Johnson sustained a separated right shoulder while being driven into the artificial turf. The early prognosis is that he will be out two to four weeks. Doug Flutie came to the rescue and drove the Bills to the winning Steve Christie field goal, and now the popular backup will regain control of the offense in Johnson's absence. Thus, the Flutie Fanatics can rejoice.'
Stumbling Bills survive [5:53 AM]
D and C reports:
'The Bills' offense -- at least through three quarters -- was woefully inept, continuing a season-long trend; Johnson, despite the fact that he rallied the team back into the game in the fourth quarter, suffered through a very tough day, and it ended with a separated shoulder that will sideline him 2-4 weeks; The normally solid defense was burned for a couple of long touchdowns and 24 points overall; Guard Ruben Brown engaged line coach Carl Mauch in a visible shouting match on the sidelines; Chargers head coach Mike Riley made a second-guesser's dream come true by playing backup quarterback Moses Moreno for two series in the second quarter. In four plays, Moreno lost two fumbles deep in Chargers territory that set up a pair of Buffalo touchdowns. Imagine where the Bills would be today if San Diego starter Jim Harbaugh hadn't been relegated to the sidelines during that stretch.'
Bills offensive line redeems itself [5:51 AM]
D and C reports:
'It's been a tense year for the line and its curmudgeonly coach. The criticism has been considerable. Much of it has been justified. "We are growing kind of sick of it," Ostroski said. "We've been taking a lot of crap from media and the fans."'
Even Flutie can't save these Bills [5:49 AM]
D and C reports:
'If Flutie Fanatics can restrain their glee and take a deep breath, they'd realize that this isn't 1998. It's so not '98...They are what they are, a .500-type club. Just enough wrong. Just enough right. A lot of good young players finding their way for a better tomorrow.'
Notes on Bills/Chargers game [5:48 AM]
D and C reports:
'Center Jerry Ostroski was aggravated by all the booing the Bills offense endured from the home crowd. "Personally I think it's damn ridiculous," he said. "It's sad when a football team is excited to go on the road, because they don't want to stay at home and get booed by their own fans and have their head coach and their quarterback called out like that. I think it's a damn shame. I realize everybody pays their money. I realize everybody has a right to say whatever they want. Just like I have a right to say what I want. I'm stating my opinion. And I know I'm not the only one in this locker room who feels that way."'
Flutie in relief sparks the Bills [5:46 AM]
Toronto Star reports:
'Ten-point favourites heading into the contest against the winless Chargers (0-7), the Bills didn't just dodge a bullet in halting their three-game losing slide and levelling their record at 3-3. They escaped a hail of Jim Harbaugh gunfire. And they have Moses to thank for it. Were it not for a pair of fumbles by young San Diego pivot Moses Moreno that Buffalo converted into touchdowns by Sammy Morris and Jerry Ostroski early in the second quarter, the Bills would have suffered their most humiliating defeat in recent memory.'
Flutie kick-starts Bills [5:44 AM]
Toronto Sun reports:
'"I just went in there with a handful of plays and tried to execute to take advantage of the opportunity," said Flutie, who hit Peerless Price for nine yards and Eric Moulds for 21 to advance to Christie's range. "I guess we'll take it one at at time. We have a fun place to play in Minnesota (next Sunday against the Vikings). I just have to prepare and get ready."'
Christie foots Bills to win [5:43 AM]
Toronto Sun reports:
'Lining up for a game-winning field goal in overtime, kicker Steve Christie saw the orange flag fly and shrugged his shoulders. A 41-yard field goal attempt was now 46. "No big deal, just had to kick it a little harder, let 'er rip," said Christie, who booted the sixth overtime winner of his NFL career in the Buffalo Bills' 27-24 win yesterday. "I don't want to make (overtime winners) a habit but it's enjoyable. "As long as we win. If we get in a situation where we have a chance to win, I'll do my best."'
Christie's kick does it [5:41 AM]
Toronto Globe & Mail reports:
'It wasn't the dominant win they may have wanted, but coming off three consecutive losses to divisional rivals, the Bills needed a win over the supposedly inept 0-6 San Diego Chargers like a starving man needs a free lunch. They almost blew it, giving up four sacks, two turnovers and 103 yards in penalties, performance glitches that offset 424 yards of total offence they were able to run up.'
Bills quarterback out 2-4 weeks with shoulder injury [6:15 PM]
AP reports:
'Bills quarterback Rob Johnson will miss two to four weeks after separating his shoulder during Buffalo's 27-24 overtime win over San Diego on Sunday.'
Bills 27, Chargers 24 (OT) [5:31 PM]
AP reports:
'Set up by Henry Jones' interception of Jim Harbaugh's pass, Flutie marched the Bills 31 yards for Steve Christie's 46-yard field goal with 6:34 remaining. Curiously, Christie got a second chance to win the game after his first attempt - which bounced off the right goalpost - didn't count because the play had been called dead when Buffalo center Jerry Ostroski false-started. Christie's second attmempt just sneaked over the bar.'
Bills 27, Chargers 24 [4:47 PM]
Sportsticker reports:
'Flutie replaced starting quarterback Rob Johnson, who left after
landing on his right shoulder following a hit by Chargers
defensive end Neil Smith on the Bills' first possession of
overtime. After the game it was revealed Johnson will be
sidelined two to four weeks with the injury.'
Bolts CB struggles to prove he's worth that fat contract [3:29 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'Cornerback DeRon Jenkins knows the Chargers were counting on him to be their version of a stopper after signing him to a three-year, $9.6 million deal in the offseason. He was supposed to shut down the opposing team's leading wide receiver, or at least limit the number of big plays the receiver made. But more often than not Jenkins has been the one walking off the field with his head down and his spirits low during the game.'
Conway ready to fill bill for Chargers [3:24 PM]
North County Times reports:
'And, really, is there a better poster boy for the 2000 Dead Bolts than the 2000 Conway? Like the Chargers, he entered the season with hype and hope. Like the Chargers, he has been unable to deliver on either count.'
Bills' job summed up in two words: must win [3:21 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'Suddenly, Buffalo's primary mission is just making the playoff ... forget home-field advantage.'
Seau makes sure Chargers defense never rests [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'[The Buffalo Bills] are 10-point favorites to end their three-game losing streak. But there's no way [Junior] Seau will let the Chargers roll over and die.'
Bills' offense needs new microscopes for future self-exams [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Maybe multiple formations are not the way to go with this lightly experienced bunch. Maybe doing away with the traditional fullback and using the tight ends as H-backs was too radical a change. Young pro players need a lot of coaching help. Joe Pendry, the Bills' offensive coordinator, should have come to grips with this weeks ago.'
Chargers are the prescription to cure what's ailing Bills [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Outlook: Hard to see Chargers offense doing much. . . . Bills, 23-14.'
Johnson holds [7:32 AM]
Boston Herald reports:
'It's only a matter of time before Doug Flutie is back in place as the Bills starting quarterback, even though there is no big push in western New York for him to replace Rob Johnson...Although Johnson has seven touchdown passes and only two interceptions, he's been getting drilled with regularity, causing questions about his ability to remain healthy.'

PARK CITY, Utah — If you watch "Californication," you know that Hank Moody is the definition of self-destructive. It turns out that David Duchovny, the actor who plays the writer and chronic womanizer on the fifth season Showtime series, wouldn't mind if Hank finished off the job.
"I always wanted to see Hank die," he told ABCNews.com. "I always like the idea of a character on television dying just so you're never going to have to come back and do it again."
Duchovny sat down with ABCNews.com ahead of the Sundance Film Festival premiere of "Goats," the indie comedy he stars in with "Modern Family's" Ty Burrell. Click the video for his ruminations on his tortuous "Goats" beard, how he gets into character for "Californication," and more:

Stocks start November on a positive noteBy KEN SWEET
The Associated Press | November 02,2013AP File Photo
Trader Jeffrey Vazquez works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday. Stock futures are heading lower after U.S. policy makers said they would maintain a massive economic stimulus program.NEW YORK The stock market started November on a strong note as investors reacted to an expansion in U.S. manufacturing last month.
The improvement came during what could have been a difficult month for the U.S. economy, with a partial government shutdown that lasted 16 days and a narrowly averted default on the U.S. governments debt, which could have rattled financial markets.
With what happened in the last two months, its amazing how strong this market has been, said Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management.
The Institute for Supply Management reported that its manufacturing index increased to 56.4, the highest level since April 2011. That was better than the 55.1 figure economists were expecting, according financial data provider FactSet.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 69.80 points, or 0.5 percent, to 15,615.55. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 5.10 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,761.64. The Nasdaq composite rose 2.34 points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,922.04.
Energy stocks lagged the market after Chevron reported that its third-quarter income fell 6 percent, missing analysts estimates, due to weakness in the companys oil refining business. Chevron fell $1.95, or 1.6 percent, to $118.01.
The energy sector was also weighed down by a drop in the price of oil. Crude oil fell $1.77, or 1.8 percent, to $94.61 a barrel.
The positive start to this months trading comes after a strong October for the stock market. The S&P 500 closed at a record high seven times during the month, most recently on Tuesday. It ended October with a gain of 4.5 percent.
However, some investors have expressed skepticism that stocks can keep up this rapid pace pace heading into the last two months of the year.
The S&P 500 is up 23 percent so far this year, while the average annual return on the S&P 500 is around 8 percent. Stocks are also starting to look expensive by some measures. Investors are paying more than $16 for every $1 of earnings in the S&P 500, the highest that ratio has been since February 2011.
I dont think this market is cheap by any means, said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial. Weve been urging caution for some time now.
In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.62 percent from 2.56 percent.
On Friday morning, the Nasdaqs options market was halted due to a technical glitch. Regular stock trading was not affected.
Among stocks making big moves:
The Container Store more than doubled on its first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The company raised $225 million in its initial public offering, pricing 12.5 million shares at $18 each. The stock soared $18.20 to $36.20.
First Solar jumped $8.83, or 18 percent, to $59.14. The solar panel maker said it had an adjusted profit of $2.28 per share for the third quarter, blowing past analysts estimates of $1.13 per share, according FactSet.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK The stock market moved lower Friday, snapping four days of gains, as U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Apparently, airline passengers arent buying enough garden gnomes, superhero pajamas...

This is my HG Shampoo. It makes my relaxed color treated hair healthy, shine, and squeaky clean without stripping. I've noticed tremendous strength and less split ends within a couple of months using this shampoo. I feel like I have horse hair. However, the Conditioner didn't do justice for me at all! I suggest using a different moisturizing conditioner. The price plus the humongous sized bottle is the prefect equation for a great shampoo. Along with other staple products, my hair looks and feels amazing.

I had initially bought La Bella Los Caballos s/c. It was super duper cheap at Wal-mart. Huge bottles, too. But, when I wanted to repurchase just the shampoo, Wal-mart didn't have it. I checked the pet aisle and it wasn't there either BUT Mane n Tail was. I bought only the shampoo because I don't think the conditioner for La Bella or Mane n Tail do anything for me. I think this shampoo cleanses pretty well. The shampoo appears smooth and shiny but I don't think it does either of those things to my hair. I simply like it because it's a light shampoo and I can use it each time I wash w/o worrying about build up. I'd repurchase this again and probably will. But the $5-$6 price at Wal-mart didn't excite me. ESPECIALLY since it was on the damn pet aisle. I know $5 isn't a lot and the bottle is quite large, but, sheesh, it's an old product and put on the aisle for ANIMALS! I'll still try other shampoo's but I'll keep this on the side as my go-to. I gave this a 3 because it's not the best but it ain't the worst. :)
This is the only shampoo I've ever used that keeps my hair from getting really greasy throughout the day. Even the morning after it's washed, it isn't oily. It smells pretty decent, and is cheap.

I have super fine hair that is prone to breakage, and I think thus is the answer I've been looking for. My hair feels thicker and more voluminous. I love it!
More reviews by sundevilblonde
After all the great reviews I read on this product I decided to try it myself and i'm less than impressed. After doing an olive oil & mayo treatment that I do once a month, I figured i'd shampoo/condition with this product so everything washed out clean, soft, & shiny. Unfortunately, my hair ended up looking like I hadn't even done the treatment. My ends were dry & frizzy which is unusual because I have a very short a-line haircut. I couldn't run my fingers through my bangs either. On the good side, it did thoroughly lather and clean my hair and gave it volume because it didn't leave any oils in the hair/scalp. Just not for me, I guess
Been using it every time i wash my hair for almost two months. Havent seen any difference in hair growth. which was my sole purpose in buying this product which sucks. After my hair is dry , i put some argan oil my hair feels the same or worst which is dry and brittle. kinda sucks! i had high hopes for this product i still have a lot of product left. I might just use it once a week and see if it gets any better. so for now i dont like it.
I'm never changing shampoos! The very first night I used this product my hair was noticeably softer. Once it dried you could tell there was a new sort of shine to my hair. And finally my hair was manageable. The smell is very clean and refreshing. I don't, however, us the conditioner. On the conditioner bottle it says it boosts volume and I definitely do not need volume. The price is worth it for how much is in the bottle. The latest bottle I've bought has lasted me for about 2 months now. And for a nice little bonus it's great for your hair if you rinse the shampoo out with cold water. It helps lock in the nutrients and creates shine. Now, concerning whether or not the shampoo helps your hair grow, I feel it helps a little bit but not a whole lot. My hair dresser advised me that if I want to grow my hair out I have to get my hair trimmed every three months. Whenever I use mane and tail after I get a trim I do feel it helps but you won't have hair down to your butt the very next day. Anyways I will continue to buy and use mane and tail. Favorite shampoo of all time.
Update: I liked the shampoo and conditioner for awhile until I started noticing I had a waxy buildup and my hair got very dry and frizzy. And normally my hair loves protein but I got protein overload, it was awful. It took a week of clarifying to get all the gunk out. And I only used the shampoo and conditioner 2/3 times a week. Its loaded with tons of sulfates which is extremely awful for your hair. Not even close to the hype of "faster growing hair"
Mane N Tail has to be the absolute best shampoo and conditioner that I have used on my hair. I bought it about a week ago at Walgreens because I was running out of my other shampoo and conditioner. I like the light fresh smell of it and read that it was used to thicken hair, which I desperately need.
When I first used shampooed my hair, I noticed it felt a bit dry. I put the conditioner in and left it on for about 5 minutes and wow, my hair felt amazing rinsing it out. I let my hair air dry and it was incredibly shiny! My fiance even said something. And I could not stop touching my hair...SO soft. I am really hoping that this helps with my fine, slow growing hair. I would definitely purchase this just because of how shiny and soft your hair will be!
