For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
I am keen to hear your thoughts on the new e-Privacy laws that will soon be upon us. Are they a good or bad thing? Are cookies something we must just put up with?
It will be interesting to see what changes European store owners will need to make to Magento in order to comply with the regulations. I hope not too many, but you never know. Guess we will find out when the law is put in place later this year…
If anyone has any more information about the new law and what impact it may have on UK store owners, then let us know.
Heard about this on Radio 4! Starting to panic as i\'m not sure how to get Magento to ask for permission to store cookies???? Anyone4 out there know? any modules developed? I\'ve searched and searched but can\'t find much about it!
anyway a link i found that explains the law is here: Cookie Laws
PLEASE HELP with the current financial climate i can\'t afford a ã5000 fine for non-compliance!
Anyone had any thoughts on this?
hi all
im not a lawyer but i think this exception should cover it:
The only exception to this rule is if what you are doing is ââ¬Ëstrictly necessaryââ¬â¢ for a service requested by the user. This exception is a narrow one but might apply, for example, to a cookie you use to ensure that when a user of your site has chosen the goods they wish to buy and clicks the ââ¬Ëadd to basketââ¬â¢ or ââ¬Ëproceed to checkoutââ¬â¢ button, your site ââ¬Ëremembersââ¬â¢ what they chose on a previous page. You would not need to get consent for this type of activity.

Pod1 (Magento developers) have done a nice introductory post here, well worth a read:
It's well worth doing a Cookie audit of your site and assessing the privacy implications of each cookie. Once you have this information, build a plan of how to deal with each one. Just taking these two simple steps will put you in a good place to deal with the law change on the 26th May.
If whilst doing the audit you do discover Cookie's that contain sensitive information, take steps to address these before the 26th May.
Hi All,
A solution to the new cookie laws would be appreciated.
ie. a step by step or a module.
Let me know if anyone has any updates.
Google Analytics seem to be them main problem - has anyone got anything working for this?
Plugins are available that 'start' to address the problem for say Wordpress, but what for the all mighty Magento?
Be good to hear from the Magento guys n girls themselves...!
26th May is looming…
Interesting article here on UK / EU compliance: http://sitebeam.net/assets/Uploads/EU-Cookie-Law-eBook.pdf
Ooh, all a little bit confusing and worrying!
Perhaps some clear ideas could be thrown into the mix.
Obviously the first step as a developer/site owner is to identify what cookies are being called by the magento site (cookie audit), easily done when looking a Chrome's preferences - but what does it all mean, where's the physical file, how can the cookies content be examined!!!
There does seem to be some steps clearly indicated in Simon Lilly's post http://www.simonlilly.com/e-commerce/looking-inside-the-cookie-jar-how-to-carry-out-a-cookie-audit/ the first step being that an explanation of cookie use must be explained in a simplified way somewhere on the website.
Perhaps, as a temporary measure there also needs to be a pop up to inform customers that the site uses cookies and by means of a tick box the customer allows cookie use. Perhaps!
One of the larger implications is the use of google analytics, okay we all know that google are a law unto themselves, but using tracking opens up a whole can of worms and legal implications for all of us.
It has been suggested that a Magento extension could help safeguard us from potential legal action, this seems to be the best option for the majority of us. Strange that Magento doesn't appear to be forthcoming with any information especially since Magento uses cookies so heavily. They appear to be covering their own backs in their policy statement (I would suggest using some of their content to explain cookie use on your own site) http://www.magentocommerce.com/company/privacy
In summary I guess the more information we gather the better prepared we will be when the ###### hits the fan in May! All I can say, is keep sharing any solutions and ideas or we'll all be F####ED!!
Have a look at the ICO website - they use analytic and other cookies. They have a great cookie description page and a box at the top asking if users want to opt in.
Given this is the ICO site I am going to use this as a template. Note sure technically how to block Analytic for a user yet but that will come.
Rgds John
the ICO saw their tracked traffic drop by 90% the very same day they implemented their GA opt in - that would decimate our ability to legitimately monitor our sites performance.
I for one am praying for an 11th hour rewrite of the rules to allow GA.
Magento have obviously listened and implemented cookie requirement code in v.1.7 which was released today. I've only had a quick look and it seems to work in a similar way to the ICO site. I'm not sure how changes to cookies and re opting in would be handled but seeing as the rules and guidance are so hazy it's a veritable minefield (At least the ICO have said they will take notice of companies attempting to implement something).
Anyone else have any ideas on what else they would like to see?

we have performed and documented a cookie audit across both of our sites (1 magento, 1 joomla). we removed some old double click tags and I have written a justification for the remaining ones - which essentially is just the required session cookie for magento to operate, and GA, which I have argued is an essential business resource that doesnt allow us to build a customer profile as it is annonymous.
This isnt strictly in keeping with the rules, but if the ICO come a'knocking atleast we can demonstrate we took head of their advise, made some improvements and will now better educate our web visitors through a cms page, highlighted from the home page about what cookies we use and why.
It could ofcourse go the other way - if the media blow it up as they love to do, then consumers may feel happier seeing the opt in, at least for a while.
Its worth noting that vast swathes of the ICO's previous albums, sorry legislation (ive got Urban Cookie Collective/ EUrban Cookie Directive on the brain with this subject), were never enforced.
Like you I think the main worry is how the media report on this and whether it will spawn hysteria from the public due to not understanding things properly. Interestingly I installed a vanilla 1.7 this morning to have a look at how Magento had implemented this and was somewhat surprised when I viewed the stock cookie list in the privacy statement.
COOKIE name COOKIE Description CART The association with your shopping cart. CATEGORY_INFO Stores the category info on the page, that allows to display pages more quickly. COMPARE The items that you have in the Compare Products list. CURRENCY Your preferred currency CUSTOMER An encrypted version of your customer id with the store. CUSTOMER_AUTH An indicator if you are currently logged into the store. CUSTOMER_INFO An encrypted version of the customer group you belong to. CUSTOMER_SEGMENT_IDS Stores the Customer Segment ID EXTERNAL_NO_CACHE A flag, which indicates whether caching is disabled or not. FRONTEND You sesssion ID on the server. GUEST-VIEW Allows guests to edit their orders. LAST_CATEGORY The last category you visited. LAST_PRODUCT The most recent product you have viewed. NEWMESSAGE Indicates whether a new message has been received. NO_CACHE Indicates whether it is allowed to use cache. PERSISTENT_SHOPPING_CART A link to information about your cart and viewing history if you have asked the site. POLL The ID of any polls you have recently voted in. POLLN Information on what polls you have voted on. RECENTLYCOMPARED The items that you have recently compared. STF Information on products you have emailed to friends. STORE The store view or language you have selected. USER_ALLOWED_SAVE_COOKIE Indicates whether a customer allowed to use cookies. VIEWED_PRODUCT_IDS The products that you have recently viewed. WISHLIST An encrypted list of products added to your Wishlist. WISHLIST_CNT The number of items in your Wishlist.
Quite scary in my mind. Also, even though I haven't accepted the Magento cookies it has still set the frontend one (I can add and log into an account even though I haven't accepted the cookie). I know we are allowed to set cookies if they are vital to the functionality of the site but I do wonder if the public (and the ICO) may get spooked because of this.
ironically ive seen some implementations that set a cookie if a user says no, so that the site can remember they said no.
the whole thing is a farce. Im all for stopping 3rd party malicious cookies, but to make over 60% of uk online businesses (the proportion of GA users) into criminals is crazy.
the high street has been ruined in recent years, which im sure is why the UK has the largest (per capita) online spend of any developed country in the world - expect that to change if the ICO has its way.
You wouldn't expect a shop owner to serve customers with a blind fold on. How are we going to see new businesses moving in next door, where our customers are going, what aisles are turning them off, and prices are too high if we can't ruddy see them?
I agree that this seems to be leading the world but I have got to say if it makes use stop and think and look at what info we are storing and tracking about our customers then it's doing the correct thing.
We track customers because we want to not because the customer has asked up to and at the end of the day if the customer does not want us to track them , in the same way we allow guest checkout, then we need to respect that.
I have had to do an audit of the cookie use and it's hard to explain why we want the information into a customer page.
Thanks for 1.7 - feature there before I asked - Always the best way.
Regards John

Within latest several weeks Googlemail has released a new function for its e-mail customers known as "tabbed inbox". The support instantly filtration e-mails into three categories: Primary: for your individual e-mails, social: for anything public networking relevant and promotional: for promotion e-mails. This would be all well and excellent, except, where cellular phones are involved, the gmail app is no more providing signals for e-mails that do not drop into the main classification by standard. While customers are still having to opt into the support, they will be persuaded when they sign in online. It's still to beginning to tell how many of Gmails 425 thousand effective customers have already done so. While the first response for an e-mail professional might be to anxiety at the information, there is no significant cause for alert. The first thing to do basically is just to hold out and analyze the information you get over the next few several weeks. Separate your Googlemail information and see what happens to a example dimension strategies in comparison to an equivalent example from before they turned (July 2013). The start amount is the obvious figure here, if that falls considerably below pre-July 2013 stages with Googlemail customers, then there is purpose to be involved. The first way to make an effort to fix the issue would be to deliver a concept to your Googlemail record and display them how they can change your e-mail promotions between the promotion box and the main tab. If you can, personally, ask your record to shift your e-mails to within their individual nourish, it will actually end up being better than before, as your promotion e-mails (now in somebody's individual feeds) will take a position out more as other promotion email from other organizations will still be strained. It's always possible, however, that e-mails being strained might actually be a beneficial shift for your strategies. While your signals will not be sent to individuals' cellular phones with a notice, this will mean that they will be less likely to irritate members when they do not want to get promotion information. Instead, by them having to search out promotion information – i.e. by choosing the promotion tab, they will likely be more prepared to study the content that you deliver them, as they are in the right feelings to do so. All in all, at this level it is too beginning to tell what effect Gmail's tabbed in-boxes will have. The example dimension information basically is not over a extensive enough variety to produce more certain results. If you need help with specific promotion via e-mail technique like this, then get some professional help from Email Steps, who have a group of professional e-mail promoters who can make sure that your e-mails have the best possibility of getting to the right place and that you can see the greatest revenue for your strategies. Do you need support with your e-mail campaigns?

- Don't post anything vulgar, inflammatory, pornographic, etc.
- Don't post spam.
- Don't post just to sell something. Sure, talk up your project, but don't mention how to buy it every single time.Don't launch into personal attacks. You're not going to agree with everyone, but name-calling will just cause trouble and will be regarded as flaming behavior.
- Don't use too many metalinks and tags. If you just trying to boost your SEO, that's an abuse of the system.
- Please use English.
- Focus on a single idea. Instead of "how to use digital cameras," perhaps write "how to use application X to organize your photos."
- Use a recipe format. After a little preliminary info, use numbered steps. Make the first sentence of the step the action and the second sentence the result.
- Use graphics. Screenshots are good. Make sure no artwork is wider then 400 px wide.
- Watch out for long, preformatted lined of text; they will break out of the main content column. Try to keep such lines short.
- Tone down the foul language. You can say what you need to say without relying on cursing. In fact, your writing will be regarded as that much more creative.

Featured Article
A conference on "Smart Growth" in Hartford is looking at the benefits of streetcars and other integrated transit projects. As WNPR's John Dankosky reports, Portland, Oregon is touted as the "model city" for this kind of development.
Portland's story is legend in the world of public transit. In the 1970s, aided by strong regional government, the city and surrounding communities began blocking highway development in favor of rail and densely packed urban areas.
In 1986, Portland's light rail line was the first built with a federal grant, and a succesful streetcar line began in 2001. The region continues to recieve tens of millions a year in federal transportation dollars.
The key, according to Rick Gustafson, Executive Director of the Streetcar program is the commitment by local residents to development inside the city - rejecting the car-spawned sprawl found in many urban areas.
"And that's what happened with us, with a good street frontage, good walk-able community, and then good transit access, good bicycle access. What that did was make the high-density area the most desired living location in the Portland region."
And, Gustafson says, the civic investment paid off - by attracting private investors.
"Our streetcar line cost us $100 million. We built it over a 10-year period. Within 750 feet of that line, there's been $3-and-a-half-billion of private investment. 10,000 new housing units and 2 and a half million square feet of commercial space."
Gustafson spoke at a "Smart Growth" Conference, sponsored by 1000 friends of Connecticut - an organization working to promote rail development in the state.
For WNPR, I'm John Dankosky.
Trolleys in Hartford
Hartford is not Portland, Oregon. The crime/murder rate is lower in Portland and people aren't going to go into a city if they don't feel safe. Also there's more to do in the Portland than there is in Hartford. Gone are the lovely Department Stores like G. Fox and Sage-Allen. Hartford has good restaurants and the Wadsworth Atheneum is wonderful, but we need more to attract people. The Science Center is great, but very pricey. That whole project was geared toward out of the area visitors. At $17 a pop, families are not going to go there very often. Whatever happened to the Front Street project? Are we all going to be dead before that comes to fruition? I'm not optimistic. Lots of money will be spent on studying it to death and the politicans can't agree on when to go to lunch.
Cost of entry to the Science Center
Perhaps discounted prices could be give to CT residents or at least Htfd residents as Disney world does in FL. I have been to the Science Center with an eight year old and it was VERY interesting for her and for me. I hope to return with an adult and spend time at my own level of understanding your many exhibits, etc. BUT the price of parking and tickets is difficult for this senior citizen. I hope you can attract schools from the state also.

Education in Switzerland
Switzerland prides itself on its high standard of publicly-funded education. As a country with few natural resources, its prosperity depends to a large extent on its brain power. Most people continue studying after the years of compulsory education, and many take further courses throughout their lives. At the same time, the education system has to deal with new challenges in the face of changes in society and the world.

Ace of Summer
A palm tree, and a ficus tree, in Kingaroy, Qld.
Card Meaning
A vine, a twining tree, or a goanna? Either way, what a challenge it faces, to climb the other tree. But it doesn't seem to have any problems with it. Nothing can faze it. It will try anything, to get where it needs to go. No idea is too silly. No challenge is too difficult. Determination always seems to get it there.

That's awesome! Reminds me of a wisteria vine. They are beautiful but with age get huge and thick and will bring down the biggest of trees.

About the Command and General Staff College
Since its inception in 1881 as the School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry, the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) has evolved to meet the educational and operational needs of the United States Army. Since World War II, it has generally been known as the school for Army majors, though the College contains other schools and it educates officers from other military services and from other countries. Since 2008, the CGSC is part of CAC Leader Development and Education (CAC LD&E), along with a number of other schools and centers whose missions are centered on leader development and education.
The US Army Command and General Staff College educates, trains and develops leaders for Unified Land Operations in a Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational operational environment; and advances the art and science of the profession of arms in support of Army operational requirements.
The US Army Command and General Staff College is and will always strive to be an educational center of excellence. We must remain a renowned academic leader in the study of leadership, the conduct of joint and combined land warfare, and the application of Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational organizations to synchronize all elements of power to achieve national objectives. We will continue to support field commanders with well-trained and well-educated leaders, in-depth research in operational-level land power studies, and reach-back planning in support of ongoing operations. We will maintain our world-class faculty dedicated to learning and advancing the professional body of knowledge.
The US Army Command and General Staff College's enduring purpose, supporting Army Leader Development and Education and Professional Military Education, provides a stable beacon for the future. USACGSC executes professional military education programs through its four schools: the Command and General Staff School, the School of Advanced Military Studies, the School for Command Preparation, and the School for Advanced Leadership and Tactics all at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; and its four satellite campuses at Fort Belvoir, Va., Fort Lee, Va., Fort Gordon, Ga., and Redstone Arsenal, Ala. USACGSC ensures the professional vitality of the US Army's corps of officers by preparing them to discharge their duties in the service of our nation. Today's contemporary operating environment requires leaders for tomorrow's joint, interagency, and multinational operations. We must replicate that operational environment in the classroom, therefore, USACGSC is more than an "Army" school; we are a joint, interagency, and multinational college with international officers, sister service and interagency students and faculty. USACGSC seeks to produce:
- Successful Graduates leading teams to solve complex problems throughout the spectrum of operations.
- World-Class Faculty advancing the profession of arms through the development of, publication for, and subscription to the professional body of knowledge.
- Harmonious Army Leader Development and Education Program that develops, integrates, and synchronizes leader development and educational systems.
The Principles guiding our actions are: A Learning Organization committed to Currency and Relevancy and the Contribution to Knowledge, Empowered Professional Faculty, Socratic and Adult Learning Methods, Training for Certainty and Educating for Uncertainty with a Multi-disciplinary Curricula, and Creating a Learning Environment that supports understanding of Joint Interdependence and the implications of the Strategic, Operational, and Tactical levels of war:
A Learning Organization Committed to Currency and Relevancy and the Contribution to Knowledge
Our current reality demands that CGSC graduates be prepared to assume warfighting duties immediately upon graduation. Our graduates must be confident, competent leaders, and creative problem solvers who understand the complexities of the contemporary operating environment. Learning is our most important contribution to the nation; therefore, our challenge is the mastery of a diverse, broad, and ever-changing professional body of knowledge. Collaboration (developing, publishing, and subscribing) in the professional body of knowledge is essential to maintain currency and make relevant contributions to furthering professional understanding or creating new professional knowledge. This demands that CGSC be a learning organization committed to a continuous effort to improve student learning, teaching, and the learning environment. We must be an analytic, thinking, and learning institution, seeking new knowledge, but circumspect enough to discern the difference between contemporary innovation and enduring principles.
Empowered Professional Faculty
The CGSC best accomplishes its educational outcomes through a vital professional faculty who recognize that excellence in teaching is foremost. Our faculty members are drawn from the entire range of relevant academic and military disciplines, and they embody the scholarship of teaching, learning, and warfighting. As professional educators, they are committed to master both content and process. CGSC faculty are experts in their respective fields of study, talented facilitators of learning, and empowered with the flexibility to determine how best to achieve learning objectives in their classrooms so that our students' learning will last.
Socratic and Adult Learning Methods
The CGSC approaches education as the dynamic interaction between active learners, faculty using learner-centric pedagogies, and relevant outcomes-based curricula (content). CGSC faculty members create learning environments that allow students to construct knowledge – make meaning – by connecting curriculum content with their own experiences and prior knowledge through practical application and critical reflection. To accomplish this, CGSC faculty are comfortable in their roles as facilitators, and employ learner-centric methods and techniques that actively engage students in the learning process. Simulation-based exercises, case studies, and seminar discussions demand high levels of student interaction and create opportunities for peer learning. Beyond enabling pursuit of specific course and Joint learning objectives, CGSC's learning methodology seeks to build intrinsically motivated, intellectually curious officers and interagency partners with the skills necessary to access information and construct knowledge on their own.
Training for Certainty and Educating for Uncertainty with a Multi-disciplinary Curriculum
The CGSC serves as the US Army's most important professional school, combining theoretical education and practical training to produce leaders who are proficient in the understanding and conduct of modern warfare. We must train for certainty and educate for uncertainty, as both training and education are vital to our students' learning needs. We must train our graduates on enduring doctrinal principles, emerging lessons, and the skills they will require in their career. We must educate our graduates for the uncertainty they will surely encounter; they must know how to think and apply critical reasoning and creative thinking in complex ambiguous situations. The CGSC's academic methods and curricular designs educate and train military officers and interagency partners in the nature and conduct of land warfare within the complex national security environment. In addition, CGSC advances the state of contemporary military knowledge through original research and experimentation.
Creating a Learning Environment that supports understanding of Joint Interdependence and the implications of the Strategic, Operational, and Tactical levels of war
CGSC expands students understanding of joint force deployment at the operational and tactical levels of war, to include joint force capabilities and inter-relationships across the full range of military operations. CGSC employs simulation-based exercises, case studies, and seminar discussions in ways that introduce students to the complexity and dynamism of Unified Land Operations in a Joint, Interagency, Inter-governmental, and Multinational (JIIM) operating environment. CGSC's active learning methods also allow faculty to inject uncertainty and surprise into classroom learning experiences in ways that demand flexibility and promote adaptability.
Strategic Priorities
The CGSC mission statement conveys the College's essential tasks and the vision expresses our ideal of the future. We adjust our mission statement to accommodate continuous and deliberate analysis of guidance (national, DOD, Army, TRADOC, and CAC), and the complexities of the contemporary operating environment. Our continuing challenge is current and relevant leader development through professional military education.We ensure currency and relevancy by immersing ourselves in our professional body of knowledge, contributing to that knowledge with collaboration and publication, and simultaneously adapting our programs to meet the needs of our students, commanders, and operational forces.
Our strategic priorities help guide the evolution of our institution and the adaptation of our programs in pursuit of educational excellence:
- Educate and train our students to ensure successful graduates can lead teams and solve complex problems in ambiguous environments in accordance with CGSC learning outcomes.
- Research and publish, with particular emphasis on operational-level land power studies.
- Recruit, develop, and retain world-class faculty.
- Support the Army at War and advance the profession of arms.
The philosophy of the CGSC is founded on the principles of the American profession of arms. The common defense and welfare of the United States demands professional military officers who are educated and trained to the highest standards of excellence. The CGSC philosophy is the distillation of the College's collective set of values and principles that motivate our students and faculty to achieve our institutional mission and desired outcomes. Our philosophy explains who we are and what we stand for.
We value Service to the Nation, the Soldiers' Creed, Army Values, and leaders who are self-aware and capable of critical and creative thought in ambiguous environments.

Care or Control?
Two women are killed every week in the UK by their former / current partners. And on top of that shocking statistic, 10 women commit suicide every week as a result of suffering from domestic abuse.
We need to remember that domestic abuse is not just about men abusing women. Abuse happens in same sex relationships too and within families e.g. an adult child abusing an elderly parent.
One of the really important things to help tackle the problem of domestic abuse is to keep raising awareness. This helps to stop it from being swept under the carpet ("just a domestic") but also to help victims understand that abuse is much more than physical violence. It is also about control.
For advice or guidance you can talk to your Housing Officer or contact Domestic Violence Support Telephone: 01422 323 339.

More reviews by goldrauschengel
This works fine to add shine and definition to my shoulder-length, curly, very thick hair, though on its own it does not provide enough care, so I usually use some hair oil first and then work a little amount of this stuff into my hair afterwards. As everyone says, this smells delicious though the scent fades within a minute, so it is suitable for those sensitive towards perfumes. The texture is very thick and hard to spread on longer hair, but the results are above-average. Still not sure I wold repurchase given the price level.
I liked it better a couple of years ago, before they changed it, although i's less sticky now. Nice smell too and I only need the tiniest amount in my thick hair, so a jar lasts me a year, which makes up for the hefty price.
I love the John Masters Organics line. I use multiple products for hair, body & face, and love them all. Once I moved from the dry climate of California to Michigan, I realized I would need something to help my hair in the humidity. This stuff is awesome. It smells delicious, can be used in wet or dry hair and is wonderful at taming fly-aways. I use a tiny bit in the ends of my damp hair before styling and that usually does the trick. If my hair is really dry or it is very humid I rub the teeniest bit between my hands and smooth it over my dry hair. This really helps keep your hair soft, smooth and shiny. The price is not bad either, considering you only need a very minute amount. (my hair is past my shoulders.) Will definitely be keeping this as a staple in my bathroom cabinet.
Kudos to benz909 for her thorough review! I don't have much to add to what she said, except to repeat the pros: this smells incredibly fabulous (but is not so strong as to be overpowering), makes hair very soft, is versatile, and goes a long way; and the con: the effects you get don't last. This doesn't have the staying power of even a whipped wax. However, I find myself using it a lot on my short, thick, fine hair. If I just air-dry my hair, I use it for a little control and to tame frizzies and flyways (it is THE BEST product EVER for taming flyaways). If I use my Graham Webb Brit Style Moussing Wax (another great product), it's sufficient to add pieciness and tame anything that got misdirected when blowdrying. If I use salt spray and whipped wax, I still use it on my bangs to piece them out perfectly and to smooth the sides a bit. I got this for a song on eBay and I'm glad I did--it's the most versatile styling product I've ever used (and I've used a lot) and also the best smelling. I would repurchase, even at full price.

Completely fabulous in every possible way. A little goes a long way, which helps enormously to justify the price. Very decadent, luxurious natural hair product, that provides excellent results. Lovely scent as well. Crazy about this product.
I put "yes" to buy this product again, but I'm still on the fence. While I do love this product and John Masters, there are a few cons to this...
Let me start by saying I never have used styling products in my life for my hair...simply because I have a ton of hair (would take too much time to do anything to it ...like blow drying it...urgh) and I let it dry overnight. I am also hair styling challenged...
My current hair routine consists of his lavender/rosemary shampoo and a variety of conditioners (his citrus neroli, burts bees hair repair grapefruit-shea, or his lavender and avocado conditioner). My hair is medium-thin and like I said, I've got a ton. Naturally, it is wavy.
But sometimes my hair looks too flat, or too poofy or a little frizzy on the back (weird I know). I picked this up on a whim. Rare of me.
It is very small in size, but honestly I just lightly tap my finger in there once or twice and I've got enough for my hair.
How I use it:
Either mix it with my fingers and run it through my hair (more "oompf")
or to tame friziness at the back (flat)
or scrunching my hair with my fingers (for volume)
Sometimes I use a combination of these.
-little goes a long way
-scent (i hate the real scent of tangerines, but this is AMAZING)
-makes the hair amazingly soft
-not greasy, even if used in the scalp
-good amount of control with product
-does give volume or flatness, but not extreme (i like this however...looks natural)
-does add some shine, but not a lot
-the effect doesn't last...
-doesn't control friziness in humidity throughout the day
A ton of pros that should outweight the pros...however if my hair doesn't look as fabulous two hours later as it does when I first put it on, then that's quite a shame.
You are left with however, super soft, finger run-able hair during the day...which is nice.
It doesn't weigh down my hair and it isn't full of silicone to give a false sense of smoothness and softness.
So you really are getting a high quality- well formulated product. I would still recommend it.

Like John Masters' shampoos and conditioners, this texturizer was great. I have fine, slightly wavy hair and wanted something that would give body and texture. This did the job. The key for me, though, is to apply it to completely dry hair. Amazing results. Love its healthy, moisturizing ingredients, too.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this product for the healthy natural look while being able to keep my bang under control. I have Aveda pomade and I prefer this one. I tried Aveda men clay, men pomade, and their whipping pomade. None gave a natural look as this one. A little does the trick. I don't spike my hair so I have no idea how it would hold spike. I have straight flowing long hair that is very annoying when I don't use this because it keeps flowing up to my face. This keeps my hair where I want to keep it, out of my face, and I can style my bang without it looking stiff. I don't use alot. Just sparely on the top. My hair still look and feel very nice and natural like the rest of my hair. I love the smell!! Smells like sweet tangerine with a hint of vanilla.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I recently cut my hair pretty short and I needed a little extra something besides gel to give my hair a more finished, textured look, as well as to keep my bangs straight and separate and hold them in place. This is my product. Its all natural which is important to me, smells nice and doesn't weigh down my hair as long as only use a tiny bit. It is pricey, but you only need the tiniest amount to get the job done. It also seems to make my hair more conditioned.
EDIT- It started building up and bringing my curl down. Iti s still great as a straightener, though.
This entire line of haircare products is the best! I have long, straight, fine hair and this is the only pomade I've every been able to use. I used to have to use hairspray on my bangs to keep them in place (not the most natural look) but now I just put a little of this my hair instead. The effect is beautiful and natural. Any other product like this would always weigh my hair down or make it look greasy, but not this. It gives my hair shine and wonderful body. The scent is heavenly too ... from natural essential oils, not artificial chemicals. The entire line is certified organic and contains none of the nasty, potentially dangerous products that plague so many of our haircare, skincare, bodycare and cosmetic products today. The skincare line is also incredible. I tried it since I loved the haircare line so much.

Two Grade 12 students from Our Lady of the Lake Catholic College School in Keswick finished first in the widely-popular, TV and Video Production Competition at the Ontario Technological Skills competition's provincial qualification round which was recently held at Humber College.
The team, consisting of students Kellie Anderson and Aaron McMurtry, beat out 17 other teams from secondary schools across the GTA, and beyond, by successfully producing a 30-second commercial entitled, "Clean Air, No Substitutions." They planned, scripted, shot the footage for- and edited the video, all within the 3 ½ hour time limit. The first place finish allowed the team to advance to the final provincial competition, this May in Waterloo. An especially rewarding experience, as last year Kellie and Aaron finished second, in the qualification round, and did not advance.
For the competition in Waterloo, teams from across Ontario will be given 6 ½ hours to produce a 1 ½ - 2 minute promotional video, on a theme, only stated at the beginning of the competition. They will be expected to create a storyboard, production brief, and take part in an interview portion, for the competition, in addition to shooting and editing the video.
The Ontario Technological Skills Competition is the largest skilled trades competition in Canada. With over 1900 students competing in over 60 different skilled trade contests. It aims to promote skilled trade and technology careers to Ontario's youth.
Students who are successful at the provincial competition will advance to the Skills Canada National Competition, where they will have the opportunity to compete against students from across Canada.
York Students win gold medals at York Region Science Fair

She will move on to compete in the Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge (SABC) at York University. The competition is a biotechnology-focused science competition that exposes high school students to related career possibilities.
Lisa Marie DiVona earned the Chemical Institute of Canada's Toronto Section Award, gold medal for her science fair project, 'Identification of New Aurora Kinase Inhibitors for the treatment of Human Neuroblastoma.' This win will allow for Lisa to be part of Team Ontario at the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Charlottetown, PEI, this May.
The CWSF is the culmination of school, school-board, and regional science fairs. It aims to help participants benchmark their scientific and technological achievements against those of peers and to create a positive scientific and social experience for the youth involved.
The York Catholic District School Board is proud of its award-winning students and wishes them the best of luck in their upcoming competitions.

Hi friends,
I wrote this story for Bellanaija.com (BN Prose Series). Its gone viral and I thought I might as well paste it on my blog for you all to enjoy.
Remain blessed
Abimbola Dare.
"Biyi hasn't worked for that long?" Dayo's voice drips with resentment. "For real?"
"He's been trying," I say in feeble attempt to defend my husband. "You know how the economy is."
My husband and I had vowed never to bring in a third party into our relationship but with a bank account screaming for revival, I need to share my burden with someone else. I grip the phone. Dayo is unusually quiet. "You still there?" I ask. "Hello?"
"I am here," she says. "I just didn't know things were this bad. And all this while, I thought Biyi was providing for the home."
But he is, I argue silently. Well, maybe not financially for now, but in every way else, Biyi is a rock. "It's not that bad." My words sound frail.
Dayo clucks her tongue. "You might as well be a widow."
The words hit me like a fist.
"Na you I blame," she continues, oblivious to the damage her words have caused.
"Me? Why?" She is blaming me for this? Seriously?
"Why do you keep paying the bills?"
"Because there is no one else to do it," I protest, upset.
"For real? He drives your car too?"
"He needs it," I mutter. "To attend job interviews and stuff. He gets back late sometimes."
"How late are you talking?
"Nine, ten…ish."
Dayo pauses for a second. "I hate to say this gurl, but your husband spending your money on another woman."
Whoa! Hang on. Where did that come from? "Haba, Dayo. Biyi would never—"
"Look, I know men," she slices in. "You are his moneybag and he will take you for a ride as long as it takes. Where is your dignity, gurl?"
Ride. Dignity. Moneybag. Ouch. "But he's a good guy," I manage. Can my husband be using me? It had never crossed my mind in the past, but I now wonder if Biyi is actually having an affair.
"I trust my wonderful Dennis…," Dayo is saying. I barely listen. My eyes are on the clock. It's almost midnight and Biyi isn't home. I force myself to hear what Dayo is saying about Dennis Ono, her multimillionaire-oil- company-golden-husband. Gosh I envy her life, her perfect marriage.
"My marriage is wonderful," Dayo says, as if in affirmation to my undeclared words. "But only because I show Dennis who the boss is. He cannot try nonsense with me. Abi, you think it's easy to get ten thousand pounds a month as pocket money?"
She really gets ten grand a month? That's like, my entire annual salary in my crappy job plus bonuses. Life is unfair. Honestly. "I am Biyi's wife," I say. "I cannot just desert him." Or can I? At this rate…
"In that case," there is an edge to her voice now, "give him an ultimatum. He gets a job in two weeks or you are out of that marriage."
"Look, I know his type," she says with conviction. "He conveniently won't get a job as long as you keep dishing out your money."
"Starve him," she adds. "No sex. Make life hell. You are not an ATM machine."
Keys jangle in the hallway. Biyi is home. "Talk later," I say to Dayo. "He's back."
"Stand your ground," Dayo whispers menacingly. "Ultimatum. Two weeks."
I hang up with a sigh. My husband is leaning against the door frame. For a second my heart falters. He looks tired, drawn. But Dayo's words punctuate my compassion. "Where have you been?"
Biyi gives me a side smile. "No hug?"
I jerk my head at the wall clock." Its midnight."
"I had a job interview in Birmingham," he says. "I called you tell you I was stuck in traffic but I kept getting your voicemail. What's wrong?"
I cock my head. Is that a whiff of female perfume? It is. Dayo is right. He has been with another woman. With my car. Spending my money. My head spins. "Biyi," I glare at him, "Where are you coming from?"
He steps back, surprised. "I went to Birmingham—"
"Did you get it?" I screech. "The job?"
Biyi shakes his head. "I didn't—"
This is the last straw. I wrench my hand out. "My car keys."
He gives me a hard level stare. "What is wrong with you, Toni? Did I offend you?"
"Pass my keys!"
He thrusts the car keys to into my palm. I push past him, grab my duffel bag and stuff my overnight things into it. I know I am acting crazy but I have to show him that I would not be taken for a ride. That I am not a moneybag. That I have dignity. I zip the bag up and spin around. My husband is staring at me. "Is everything all right with you, sweetheart?"
"Get out of my way."
"Where are you going with that bag?"
"I need to clear my head." I am still yelling.
"Can we talk first?" Biyi suggests.
"I don't want to talk. Get out of my way."
He moves out of my path. I swipe a hand across my face, smearing my cheeks with `mascara. "Don't look for me. I will be back when my head clears."
I rush out of the house, jump into my car. My rage doubles as the feminine scent permeates the car. He has been with a woman in my car. I feel like an idiot.
* * *
I pull up in front of Dayo's mansion. Her husband's Porsche is in the driveway, and the porch lights illuminate my dreary form as I reach the door. I ball my fists to knock, but a scream freezes the motion.
"Kill me!" I hear Dayo scream. "Good for nothing idiot. Womaniser of the century!"
Whoa. Momentarily, I am unable to move. My hand hovers in the air.
Dull thuds, muffled screams. Dennis curses. "I warned you never to serve me stew that is not freshly cooked!"
"Am I your slave?" Dayo yells back. "If you want fresh stew, get your PA to cook it for you. Or you think I don't know about her? You think…"
Dayo's words are silenced by another thump. My hands fall to my side as a flurry of blows stifle her cries.
I want call the police, do something…anything. But I cannot move. And so I shut my eyes tight and listen as my friend is pummelled by her husband.
The beating stops. I should dash to my car, but something holds me back.
"I am sorry I got you upset darling," Dayo finally says. Her voice is laced with pain. "It is my fault. I should have cooked for you. I…Toni wouldn't let me get off the phone…its her fault."
"Next time you talk to me like that, I will tattoo a punch on your forehead," Dennis growls. "Get into the kitchen and make me fresh stew. And do something about that leech you call a friend."
That is enough for me. I sprint back to my car and drive home.
* * *
A knock sounds on the window. Biyi. I wind down and he gives me a smile. "Head clear now?" he asks.
"Leave me alone," I mutter. Dayo's wonderful Denis beats her up? And she never mentioned?
"I will leave you alone in two seconds," Biyi says. There is a twinkle in his eyes. "But first, get out of the car."
I oblige, grudgingly. "What?"
He reaches under the car seat and pulls out a small basket. "I didn't come home straight from the interview. I stopped over at the Perfume shop to get you this."
He hands the basket over. Inside is a range of exotic feminine perfumes and a small card. I pull the card open, read the words:
"Thank you for your support during the hardest times of my life! I love you."
"That's why I was late," he explains as he pulls me into a warm embrace. "You have been so good to me, Toni. I couldn't have asked for a better wife."
I can't reply. My throat is lumpy.
"When you left the house to clear your head, I got message from the recruiter," he says with a beam. "God answers prayers, babe. I got a job offer. It's a package you won't believe. Let's go in. I'll tuck you into bed and you can tell me what's bothering you?"
* * *
I awaken to a text message from Dayo. "Denis is flying me to Seychelles this weekend. This is what you get when you stand your ground. You have to be a no nonsense gurl! Don't you just love my life? Ciao sweetheart xxx."
I type a quick response back: "Ciao!"
And then I promptly delete her number from my phone.

The Small Print- Sample Chapter ONE
Chapter One
The moment he stepped into room 415 and saw Jennifer Lennox sitting behind the polished mahogany table, Wale Ademola knew he was a dead man. He shut the glass panelled door behind him with a click and glared. It had to be an illusion. He checked again. Nope. This was for real. She was here. What on earth was his ex-wife doing in his office?
"Good morning Wale." The woman sitting next to Jennifer spoke first. Her name was Coleen something from HR. She'd interviewed him only last year, at the start of his job as a temp administrator. She peered at him. "Is something wrong?
He started to come forward, stumbled and bumped into a stationery cupboard. "Sorry. I… I must have the wrong room. I am here for a promotion interview for the trainee project manager position." It had to be the wrong room.
Coleen waved a piece of paper at him. "You didn't get the confirmation email?"
He nodded. His mind swirled with questions and he tried his best to look relaxed. Had Jennifer traced him to London? Or was this a nightmare?
Coleen gave a reassuring smile. "It will be over before you know it."
My life will be over before you know it. "Uh-huh."
Jennifer gave nothing away with her expression, and when she glanced at him it was like she was looking right through him. As though he wasn't even there. She shifted in her seat and the aqueous floral scent of her perfume smacked his nostrils. He coughed, spluttered. He'd given her the fragrance for her twenty- eighth birthday last year... a day before he – should he say left her? He dropped his gaze to the table.
"You look a tad bit uncomfortable," Coleen said, concern brimming on the edge of her voice. "Take a seat." She gestured at the only vacant chair in the room.
In front of Jennifer? God forbid bad thing. He sagged into the chair like an invalid. "Thank you."
Beads of perspiration beneath his armpits prickled. Trouble had landed in his backyard. Jealous enemies from his village in Nigeria had chosen the best time to strike their juju, African black magic. Wale mentally sent a curse in return. Thunder fire them all. Including Jennifer Lennox.
Jennifer tossed a stray lock of curled blond hair away from her face and held out her hand. Obviously, his curse did not work. "Mister Ademola," she said. "An absolute pleasure to meet you."
Mister? Her performance deserved a standing ovation. He sat up straight with a tight grin, convinced his expression must look like one on a mug shot. "Same here." His hands remained on the table, numb. If Jennifer noticed, she didn't react. She turned to Coleen. "Ready when you are."
"We almost cancelled the interview when Maryann called in sick." Coleen gave Jennifer a grateful nod. "Thank your stars that Andrea came in on a short notice. She will lead the interview."
Andrea? A chill spread across his body. Jennifer changed her name? He swallowed. "T-that's fine."
Jennifer pointed to the jug on the table. "Water?"
Her nails were perfectly manicured, as always, metallic blue with silver sparkles.
Rat poison would be perfect. "No. No thanks."
She sipped water from her glass. "I will allow you a few minutes to get your self together."
Wale squinted at the window. Determined rays from the sun streamed into the room even though it was barely ten. Somewhere down below, a car tire scrunched against the asphalt. The engine of a bus shuddered to a stop and the doors hissed open. Stall owners' voices were faint in the distance as they paraded sun hats and ice-lollies. A perfect summer day. Why hadn't he called in sick? Cancelled the interview?
"Did you bring your identification documents?" Coleen asked.
He snapped his head up. "Documents?"
"Yes. I included the list of acceptable documentation in the email." She looked a bit irritated. "Your passport?"
Crap. He'd been hoping she'd forget. "Do you have to see it now?"
Coleen's apologetic smile had a life span of about a nanosecond. "Immigration rules."
"Uh, of course." Wale shoved a reluctant hand into his breast pocket. He fished out a passport that had once been vibrantly green and shook it lightly. The frayed edges coughed out a small cloud of thick, black powder.
He forced a smile. "I dropped it in a pile of soot on my way here." Yeah right. More like good luck charm from Nigeria to distract immigration officers at Heathrow from staring too hard at the passport. They were usually wary of visitors like him coming into the UK: Immigrants with no prospects of ever returning to their country of origin. The charm had worked. Despite the filth, they hadn't asked a question when he'd presented it. He placed the document into Coleen's open hand. "Here you go."
"You are a Nigerian citizen?" Coleen asked. She blew away some more of the black powder and flipped to the middle page. She studied the page for a long moment. Wale kept his focus on the space behind her head. To the right was an old Xerox photocopier churning out documents with an industrious hum. He stared at the papers as they floated unto the receiving tray, counting in sync with slow eye movements.
"Your UK residence permit is a temporary one? Expires in eight months?" Coleen's eyebrows rose in a probing arc. "This is a permanent position."
Wale swallowed, wiped his palms on his thigh. "I will be entitled to a permanent residency real soon."
Jennifer suddenly perked up, fluffed the ruffles of the stripped orange shirt underneath her suit. "You certainly will. Won't you?" Her Irish accent was more pronounced than usual. As it often was when she wanted to be sarcastic.
He stared pointedly at Coleen. "Syms & Syms offers work permits to foreign workers right? I was thinking of-"
"We don't." Coleen cut in with a frown. "Not anymore. We exceeded our quota for work permits last week. Are you expecting to get a work permit from us?"
Last week? Talk about bad luck. "No I am not. I was just asking for information purposes. My, uh, wife is a British citizen." Stupid answer.
"If you are sure...I guess we can proceed." Coleen looked at him as though she did not entirely believe him.
"Hundred percent." Wale nodded vigorously. "You have nothing to worry about."
Jennifer's cold, cerulean eyes pierced Coleen with a look. "The applicant is an illegal immigrant, and the interview will continue?" She gave half a chuckle. "Is that how Syms & Syms works?"
Her words stabbed his gut. Illegal Immigrant.
Coleen's eyes flicked between them as if to question Jennifer's sudden coldness. "Andrea, until Wale's visa runs out, he cannot be considered an illegal immigrant and will be treated fairly. Trust me, when his visa expires, we will know. And we will deal with it then." She slid the passport across the table. Wale failed to catch it and the document smacked against the ceramic floor and landed by his feet.
Coleen continued. "Let's get on with the interview?"
Jennifer spread her arms out as if to say "whatever."
The veins in Wale's head throbbed. Why didn't he hit the delete key when the cursed job advert landed in his inbox? Because he was an over ambitious idiot with a bank account the size of a dried pimple, that's why.
Coleen looked at him, an expectant expression on her face. "Well?"
He sighed with weariness, feeling as though he was about to be strapped to an electric chair for a crime he did not commit. Finally he nodded. "I am ready."
"Africa!" Wale's colleague called out as soon as he returned to the main office floor of Syms & Syms, the IT project management consulting firm that employed him. Wale groaned as Q stumbled through scurrying assistants and ringing phones towards the cubicle they shared. Q's real name was Quaddam, but everyone called him Q. They had been working in the same department- Admin and Supplies- since Wale started at the company. Unlike Wale, Q loved the brain- deadening post office runs, monotonous stationary upkeep and general servitude to the entire company that had been their duties for a little over a year. The position gave Q an opportunity to be the first to hear office gossip while it was still sizzling. On the bright side, Q's enthusiasm usually made Wale's days slightly shorter and more bearable. But not today."Get lost Q," Wale muttered. "And stop calling me Africa."
Q gripped a bunch of manila files under his arm as though his life depended on it. "Not until I finish my investigation." He wheeled a spare chair close and slammed his files on top of Wale's desk, unsettling the dust around the pen holders.
"What is it?" Wale asked. He reached for a copy of the IT News magazine on his desk, and hoped that Q would take a hint and get lost.
"Andrea Lennox interviewed you," Q said, hardly noticing his lack of enthusiasm.
"She left a massive IT firm in Manchester to help shape things up here for a few months."
"Why travel all the way from Manchester to London? Syms & Syms has never been in the Times top hundred IT companies to work for." Q let out a chuckle. "Or top five thousand."
"Your point is?"
"My point is why?"
Wale returned to the magazine and fingered it; moving his hands across the images at a snail's pace. "I don't know. Leave me alone."
Q nodded but didn't shift from his position. "I see the interview didn't go well?"
"It was a blast." Wale replied in perfect monotone. "Go away."
"Feisty." Q wiggled his index finger. "Don't worry, Wale. You'll get the job you have always wanted. Then you will get promoted and leave me here all by myself."
Wale placed his palm on his chest and feigned distress. "I'm heartbroken."
"Okay." Q sat bolt upright. "One more question and I am gone."
"Five seconds."
"Are you and Andrea related in any way, shape or form?" Q's beady eyes shone with curiosity.
Adrenaline propelled Wale out of his seat. "Me and Jen-Andrea related? Why would you think that?"
"Just answer me."
"Why do you Africans answer questions with questions?"
"Are you going to talk or not?"
"See what I mean?"
Wale took a deep breath. "This is not the time to muck about."
Q tapped his chin and stared at the ceiling as though his answer was engrained in the perforated tiles. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "I just ordered an ID card for the new project manager."
"In her passport, her surname is hyphenated."
Wale's heart thumped. "What has that got to do with the price of fish?"
"Wait till I tell you," Q said and then paused.
"I am waiting."
"The first half of her name is the same as yours."
"Her full name is Andrea Ademola- Lennox."
The room whirled. Wale closed his eyes. "No. No way."
"Yep," Q said. "I saw it myself. Now what was that about the price of fish?"
