HONORABLE MENTIONS: An eclectic group of designers and fashion figures have been named in Queen Elizabeth II's 2009 New Year Honors list. Milliner Stephen Jones, who earlier this year had a retrospective of his work at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, as part of the list, published today. Jones said he was "delighted and honored" to be named an OBE, which he received for services to the fashion industry. "Around the world, millinery is seen as a uniquely British art and I am proud to be part of that tradition," said Jones. "I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to my talented staff and faithful clients who, like me, believe that self-expression in fashion need not stop at your neck."
Amanda Wakeley, the London-based designer known for her red-carpet gowns, was also named an OBE. Her award recognizes both her services to the fashion industry and her work as founding co-chair of Fashion Targets Breast Cancer in the U.K. Wakeley, who completed the process of buying back her label from an investor earlier this year, described the award as "an incredible way to end an extraordinary year."
Michelle Mone, founder of the Glasgow, Scotland-based lingerie company MJM International — which produces the label Ultimo — was also named an OBE, for services to the lingerie industry. Meanwhile Luella Bartley, whose label Luella ceased trading earlier this year, was named an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, one step down from an OBE, for services to the fashion industry. Cath Kidston, the home wares designer known for her quintessentially English floral prints, was made an MBE, as were London men's tailor Timothy Everest and Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray, co-founders of London's River Café. Architect David Chipperfield, who currently holds a CBE, or Commander of the Order of the British Empire, was named a Knight as part of the Diplomatic and Overseas list, for services to architecture in the U.K. and Germany.

Natchitoches, LA (KMSS) — Sixteen current Northwestern State University theatre and dance students and recent graduates spent the past three months in summer stock productions around the country or began graduate study.
"We love for our students to go out into the 'real world' to put the training they received from our program to practical use," said Coordinator of Theatre and Dance Scott Burrell. "Not only do they mature as professional theatre/dance artists, but they also give testament to the quality of NSU and our program. We have a number of professional theatre and dance companies across the nation who love our students and the talent, training and professionalism they bring with them."
Lauren Bovia was to be a house management intern at Jacob's Pillow in Becket, Mass., while Brandy DiMatteo was a scenic charge/props assistant at Jenny Wiley Theatre in Prestonsburg, Ky. Katherine Hustmyre was stage manager and production stage manager at Endstation Theatre Company in Sweetbriar, Va. Myesha-Tiara McGarner was at New Venture Theatre in Baton Rouge as assistant stage manager. Nicholas Lena joined the Interlochen Center for the Arts as production lead audio technician.
Coryn Lee Bourgeois, Kwame Lilly and Latresia Stormer Lilly were part of the Missoula Children's Theatre in Missoula, Mont., as a stage manager, director and performer. Alisha Munds performed in "Miss Saigon" at the Western Playhouse in St. Joseph, Mo., and Taylor Morgan performed for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.
Also performing this summer were David Brumfield at Bigfork Summer Playhouse in Bigfork. Mont., Sharla Mills with Hershey Parks in Hershey, Pa., and at Jewish Ensemble Theatre in West Bloomfield, Mich.

England's Six Nations campaign reaches a critical juncture when they take on Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.
Stuart Lancaster's side began their campaign with an agonising late defeat to France in Paris and know that another loss would effectively end their hopes of taking the title.
However, a second straight victory to follow on from their 20-0 thrashing of Scotland a fortnight ago would put them right back in contention for overall honours.
Lancaster has made just one enforced change to his starting XV for the showdown, David Wilson coming in for Dan Cole at prop after the latter saw his participation in the competition ended by a neck injury.
Centre Luther Burrell and wings Jack Nowell and Jonny May will all make their home debuts as England continue to build for the future ahead of next year's World Cup.
Meanwhile, Bath fly-half George Ford is set to make his first Test appearance of any description after being named as a replacement in place of Saracens centre Brad Barritt.
But it is up front where the decisive battle may well be fought and flanker Tom Wood has challenged England's pack to realise their potential by establishing themselves as legends in the mould of Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio.
"We've got that type of potential within our pack. Those names are legends, all-time greats and who don't just develop overnight," Wood said.
"You can win man of the match, but that does not make you a Johnson or Dallaglio. They did it week in, week out for 10 years. To get to that legendary status you need to back it up week in, week out.
"You need to do it too when you are the target, when you are on the pedestal. And that's a different challenge again. I have got every faith in our pack. I think we are a very competitive unit, forging a real bond, played together."
Ireland have named an unchanged starting XV for the clash, with centre Brian O'Driscoll recovering from a stomach bug to win a cap which will see him equal George Gregan's world record of 139 international appearances.
The visitors go into the clash on the back of victories over Wales and Scotland and success at Twickenham would raise expectations of a Grand Slam.
Such an achievement would be a fitting way to cap the career of legendary centre O'Driscoll, who has been hailed by captain Paul O'Connell as a driving force behind the country's improvement over the last decade.
O'Connell said: "He's spread confidence across the whole set-up; he's been playing for Ireland ever since I've been involved.
"I grew up watching Ireland in the 90s and maybe that confidence wasn't there when an Irish team took the field.
"I think any team that takes the field with Brian in it always feels they have a chance of winning.
"You see that confidence now spread across the provinces, you see guys like Johnny Sexton that have, I suppose, watched and learned under Brian."

Northern Refrigerated Transportation is a full service refrigerated LTL carrier. We service truckload customers, full loads, point-to-point and less than truckload. We are known for making multiple drops and pick-ups.
We have a rich history that extends over 30 years. From the very beginning, our goal was to provide our valued customers with exceptional service. We are proud to have been able to accomplish that goal. We plan to continue the company's successful legacy for years to come.
Northern Milk Lines (NRT)
Northern Milk Lines was established in 1947 by Frank & Adeline Mello. The company started off with hauling milk cans and tankers from small dairies to the creamery.
In 1962, Frank Mello passed away, leaving his wife Adeline in control of the company. At that time, Northern Milk Lines had only one customer. The company experienced periods of success and slow periods. The struggle to survive continued for several years, but they never threw in the towel.
In 1970, Adeline's son Rick had a solution. He decided that if the company were to continue, they would need to diversify their business into the refrigerated foods market.
Their first haul (with a borrowed refrigerated trailer) was from a frozen food company in Modesto, CA. Eventually, the company expanded to include hauling frozen vegetables, poultry and other chilled and frozen foods. During this time, Rick Mello and our future Vice President John Doidge were taking turns working in the office and driving trucks round the clock. Their hard work certainly paid off in the long-run.
In the late 1970's, the company moved to Ceres, CA and slowly began to expand. A small cooler and cross-dock were added to help with our ability to service the LTL market. The last milk route was eventually sold, and the company re-emerged as Northern Refrigerated Transportation.
The company reinvented itself as a refrigerated carrier servicing northern California lanes. By the mid 1970's Northern expanded its area to service the Southern California market. From the beginning of its transformation, Northern's ambitions was to handle refrigerated LTL traffic and to surpass their competition.
From 1980-1995, Northern Refrigerated Transportation began expanding into new lanes (NV, OR, WA) and acquiring other trucking firms, and adding additional Terminals in Fresno and Los Angeles.
In 1995, Northern purchased 18 acres in Turlock CA for the future site of its main terminal headquarters. Our corporate terminal in Turlock was built in 1999, where we are still located today. A terminal in Clackamas OR (outside of Portland) was established in the mid 2000's.
Our Industries:
We service Food Manufacturers, Co-packers, and temp control products that are:
- Located on the West Coast
- Looking to send freight nationally including Canada
- Looking for a distributor to deliver on the West Coast
- Might require temp control inbound ingredients
- Carriers that want to avoid delivery to CA (CARB requirements)
- Companies that do not want the expense of hiring drivers/maintaining equipment
To find out more information about our company, feel free to contact us today.

Body mass index (BMI) and physical activity (PA) affect health-related quality of life (HRQL); however, the long-term impact of youth BMI and PA on adult HRQL is unknown. We investigated the relationship of youth BMI and PA to adult HRQL 22 years later.
Subjects included 310 participants aged 7 to 18 in the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey, followed up in 2002–2004. The associations of youth BMI and leisure time PA to adult HRQL were examined, comparing to age- and sex-adjusted Canadian SF-36 norms.
Bivariate analyses revealed positive associations between youth overweight and mental aspects of adult HRQL, but little association with physical aspects. In logistic regression adjusting for adult BMI and other covariates, overweight youth were 7 times more likely than healthy weight youth to score at/above the norm on both mental health (MH) and bodily pain, and almost 18 times more likely on the mental component score (MCS). Youth BMI was also positively associated with general health (GH), social functioning, and role emotional. Removing adult BMI from the models led to attenuated associations with mental HRQL and no association with GH. Longitudinal BMI status change was explored, and findings supported the main regression results. Youth PA was not associated with adult HRQL.
Youth overweight conveyed a long-term positive impact on several aspects of adult HRQL, and this impact may be both direct and indirect through BMI change and the effect on adult BMI. Youth PA had no long-term impact on adult HRQL.

West Kelowna Fire Rescue (WKFR) has four fire halls serving the municipality. The fleet of trucks is comprised of four engines, two squads, two pumps, one ladder, one rescue and one tender. West Kelowna Fire Rescue began as the Westside Fire Protection District, formed in 1981. Since then, the fire department has evolved to best respond to an ever increasing number of calls, as the community's population has continued to grow at a rapid pace. In 2011 fire fighters responded to 2244 calls. West Kelowna Fire Rescue also has a Service Agreement with the Westbank First Nation to serve Reserves No. 9 and 10. The fire department will offer mutual aid, as required, outside municipal boundaries, for incidents such as wildfires.

I am awesome at growing a beard. There is probably other skills I possess but that is definitely my favorite. Also, I know this guy. One time while eating at McDonald's, he literally crapped his pants. So he shuffled to the bathroom and when he realized he soiled them beyond return, he simply took them off and hung them on the door. Then he ran out into the dining area, grabbed his Big Mac, and ran straight out the door. True story and it most definitely wasn't me.

Luxury brands that don't allow fans to post comments on their Facebook walls score lower for engagement (and "Facebook success") than those that do.
That's just one of the findings from a new report that rates the Facebook savvy of 100 luxury brands across Auto, Beauty, Fashion, Watches and Jewelry, and Spirits and Champagnes.
The L2 "Prestige 100" Facebook report, produced in partnership with Buddy Media, gives top marks to the top three brands on Facebook are BMW, Clinique, and Audi, #1-3 respectively. Each brand was scored against more than 200 qualitative and quantitative data points and ranked across four criteria: Size & Growth, Engagement, Programming and Integration.
Automotive and Beauty brands nabbed the top seven spots in the ranking, with the Watch & Jewelry industry earning the lowest average Facebook IQ.

Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido is looking to reinvent its image from one of a high-end luxury brand to one of affordable quality.
Noting that the emerging middle class in China heralds a new beginning for developing countries throughout Asia, namely the beginning of a massive middle class, Shiseido is looking for ways to tap into this market while retaining it's reputation for quality and prestige.
Dubbed "masstige," an amalgamation of "mass prestige" the company intends to broaden its product line, and snap up foreign companies that fit in with its new line of marketing, such as US brand Bare Escentuals, which Shiseido purchased for US$1.7 billion.Continue reading...

With cosmetics companies extolling the benefits of mineral makeup, it makes sense that Shiseido would purchase Bare Escentuals. In an attempt to revamp its global presence and enter emerging markets, the larger Japanese brand will spend $1.7 billion to buy the line that has championed the mineral movement. That should buy a lot of powder.
"Bare had good opportunities for growth internationally, but the size that they are, they needed greater resources. Shiseido provided them so many greater resources... into Europe and into Asia," said Jason Gere, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets.Continue reading...

JC Penney is on a roll with its collaborations recently, and the brand's latest venture merely adds to the accumulating snowball: The department store has teamed up with Sephora to create standalone kiosks.
This development comes only three years after JC Penney introduced in-store Sephora counters, a plan helmed by then-CEO Mike Ullman.
"Our customer spends approximately the same amount each year as the typical Sephora customer," said Ullman. "She has the desire and the wherewithal to shop Sephora as it exists today."
Mr. Ullman also used to head LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which owns Sephora.Continue reading...

text: AFTER 34 YEARS SERVING THE COMMUNITY, OLD WIVES' TALES HAS CLOSED. "THE OLD WIFE" HOLLY HART HAS DECIDED TO RETIRE. MUCH THANKS TO THE MANY OF YOU WHO SUPPORTED US THROUGH THE YEARS. AND MUCH THANKS TO THE MANY WHO WORKED AT THE RESTAURANT DURING THOSE YEARS FOR MAKING IT ALL POSSIBLE! HERE IS SOME HISTORICAL INFORMATION: Old Wives' Tales opened on August 1, 1980, offering a multi-ethnic menu of vegetarian, chicken and seafood dishes. The extensive menu, including many small plates and a la carte choices, makes it possible to select a range of dining experiences from light meals to multi-course feasts. The restaurant is famous for its Salad Bar and for its Hungarian Mushroom Soup, which is always available on the Soup Bar, along with two choices of vegan, gluten-free vegetable soups that change daily. Virtually everything is house-made, emphasizing fresh produce, whole grains, natural chicken and wild seafood. Ingredients are carefully selected to avoid preservatives and other unhealthy additives or "mystery ingredients". Compared to other restaurants, very sparing use is made of salt in all recipes. Instead, the flavorful dishes rely on extensive use of herbs, spices, grains, fresh properly cooked vegetables and other natural ingredients. The Children's Menu is also very different from those at other restaurants, beginning with the fact that nothing is deep-fried. Nutritious, delicious sesame mashed sweet potatoes (not french fries!) Natural grilled chicken breast-no empty calorie breading & gluten-free. Kids love the soups and building their own salad at the salad bar. Old Wives' Tales is open every day of the week, serving casual, moderately priced breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. Breakfast is available anytime. Lunch service extends all morning and afternoon, with dinner service beginning at 4:30PM (Sunday at 2PM). Old Wives' Tales has a central Portland location, just across the Burnside Bridge from downtown, close to all freeways and to the Convention Center. The central location and plentiful free parking make it a popular place for people coming from different parts of the metropolitan area to meet. See link in the top banner. Old Wives' Tales offers a choice of three dining rooms. The spacious Main Dining Room with adjoining Children's Playroom features jazz and other recorded contemporary instrumental music. The smaller Classical Music Dining Room offers a quieter, more intimate ambience. The East Dining Room is available for private celebrations and meetings for groups of up to 32. The Children's Playroom provides a place for toddlers to 10 year olds to entertain themselves, so parents and other adults can enjoy a more leisurely dining experience. Parties with younger children are seated close to the playroom. Over the years, the large moderately priced menu has expanded to meet a wide variety of dietary needs and preferences, such as food allergies, gluten and lactose intolerance, vegan and low carb/high protein. Diners are empowered to meet their individual needs because the ingredients in the various dishes are listed on the printed menus and on the cards posted by the Soup and Salad Bar, including such details as type of non-hydrogenated oil and type of vinegar. From its inception, Old Wives' Tales has served the community by providing more than food. There is a long expanse of resource bulletin boards for posting notices of local social, cultural and political activities, organizations and events, and a wide variety of free periodicals flank the entrance. The restaurant supports the efforts of dozens of local non-profit organizations annually through donations of food and gift certificates. |

Report: Intel Nehalem architecture
Franck Delattre
Published on October 28, 2008
Whats new?
Nehalem is a monolithic quad core architecture meaning that it doesnt result from the fusion of two dual cores. Nehalem also introduces the uncore notion to Intels products, this term designating any part of the processor that isnt directly part of the instruction processing engine. Unlike the Core 2, which was based on a single clock distribution (the entire processor functions on a single clock cycle value), Nehalem uses a complex clock distribution. Each core can thus run at its own frequency and this goes as well for the entire uncore part of the processor.
Some new and some old
The Nehalems cores benefit from SMT technology (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) which appeared with the Pentium 4 equipped with Hyperthreading (the non-commercial name of SMT on Netburst) and that we also find on the first generations of Atom processors.
SMT is technique which aims to facilitate handling several threads by the same execution core. In the absence of SMT, a core successively processes the pieces of the different threads that it is in charge of at any given moment. The constant transition from one thread to another gives an illusion that they are being executed simultaneously but in actuality a lot of time is devoted to these transitions. Each time the core must save the context in which the execution of a thread was carried out (state of the registers and stack) and load the context of a new thread. The concept of SMT is to offer the core the possibility to have not one but two contexts at the same time which will thus enable processing two threads but this time in a real simultaneous manner. The cores resources (caches and execution units) are shared between the two threads in a static manner (for example, the buffer is separated into two identical parts) or dynamic (threads access the resource in a competitive way depending on their specific need).
Besides the time spent in transitions in context, SMTs performance gain comes from the best use of a cores execution units. In fact, the flux of instructions from each of the two threads are independent which notably is of benefit to the out-of-order execution engine (OOO) one of whose constraints in functioning is due to the interdependency of instructions. The possibility to more efficiently fill the execution pipeline is thus greater and in the end the efficiency of the execution core increases. In a non-OOO execution engine that cannot re-order instructions (as is the case with the Atom), speed is directly related to the dependence of successive instructions on each other. In this way, SMT enables practically double performance. And so as not to waste a thing, the addition of SMT to a core is economical compared to the added benefits in terms of performance as soon as more than one thread is handled in the processor.
As the operating system only handles threads, it interprets the presence of the two contexts as two distinct logic processors in the same way as two cores. The Nehalems four cores thus appear in the Windows task manager in the form of 8 logic processors.
All of this sounds quite advantageous but SMT technology isnt exempt from defects.
In the first place, the concept of SMT resides in increasing the efficiency of an execution core and the possible gain is thus all the more significant if the starting efficiency of the architecture in question is low. Netburst has problems with its very long pipeline (20 and then 30 stages), and is therefore difficult to fill in an optimal manner. For this reason the architecture benefits from SMT and the gain can attain 40% in certain applications with the Pentium 4 Prescott. The effect is even more advantageous on the Atom whose in-order execution engine is strongly penalized by dependency.
Nehalem inherits its execution engine from the Core 2 and its only legitimate to wonder about the gain added by SMT on execution cores that are already reputed to be efficient. According to Intel, SMT allows the Nehalems 4-wide engine (in other words, its capable of simultaneously processing up to four instructions) to fully use its width. This may be considered a somewhat horizontal optimization compared to the vertical one obtained from the added length of the Netburst pipeline.
The other defect of SMT resides in the competing access of threads to cache, in particular to L1. The Nehalems L1 are fortunately sufficiently large to easily accommodate two threads and at any rate are better equipped than those of the Pentium 4 in this domain.
So in the end, will SMT be advantageous for the Nehalem? Yes, because we will see in our study that many of the improvements added to the Nehalems core were made with consideration for the optimal functioning of SMT on the new architecture and this in order to maximize performance gains. Of course, the gain will necessarily be variable depending on the application. Otherwise, SMT works miracles in server and database management environments or at least this is what resulted from its use on the Xeon with its Netburst architecture. What remains is that the interest of SMT will of course be less on desktop PCs, notably in the framework of office or gaming use (and even more so on the mobile platform). Moreover, it was even planned that for a certain time that non-server versions of the Nehalem would not be equipped with SMT but Intel have come back on this decision and the Bloomfield (a high end version for PC desktops) will have it. Whatever the case, SMT remains optional and it will therefore always be possible to decide if its presence is desired.

For another out of con/expo shoot! I did have her planned for expo but that moved because I wanted to do Mikasa more. I like her blue hair more, if there's a choice I'd always go for blue as I'm not a massive fan of pink. (Although pink wigs are rather nice I prefer blue) Hopefully should get photos up soon! |

Written by: Marc Adler, Esq., Director of Compliance Consulting
While I am sure your organization has been primarily focused on efforts to comply with the federal "Sunshine" law as well as filing the Vermont and/or West Virginia disclosure reports, our Compliance Services team wanted to share with you some of the noteworthy aggregate spend bills proposed in 2013 (so far).
The Massachusetts legislature has proposed amendments that focus on the new quarterly, "non-CME educational presentation" reports enacted into law last year. Unfortunately for the life sciences industry, however, just as companies were starting to think that the Massachusetts requirements would become less strict, the proposed changes would impose additional burden. Specifically, bills in the Massachusetts House and Senate, which are now under consideration by the Joint Committee on Public Health, contain the following proposed changes:

The Vermont Attorney General's Office announced an offer of amnesty, expiring October 1, 2012, to manufacturers of medical devices and biologics who failed to comply with reporting obligations under the Prescribed Products Gift Ban and Disclosure Law ("Gift Ban and Disclosure Law"). In other words, under certain conditions, the Attorney General will not seek penalties on manufacturers who failed to comply with reporting requirements under the Gift Ban and Disclosure Law. The Attorney General anticipates, however, that it will require manufacturers to disclose "some aggregate information related to the [unreported] activity" at a later date. The offer of amnesty is limited to the following circumstances:

Hi. I'm Abby Cuffey, associate health editor at Woman's Day Magazine. Today, I'm gonna show you an everyday thing you need to know: a better way to tie your shoe. This seems like a simple concept. But in reality, there's a good chance you've been tying your shoes wrong for years. Most people use a granny knot, which looks crooked and comes easily undone. I'm gonna show you how to tie a reef knot, which sits straight on your shoe, and I promise will not come untied until you take off your shoes at the end of the day. Pull the shoelaces toward the top of the shoe. Make a simple knot, crossing the left lace over the right. Then, make a loop with the half of the right lace, grasping the base lightly between your thumb and forefinger. Wrap the left shoelace behind the base of the loop, and then in front of it. Pull the left shoelace through the hole, where your forefinger is, to form a second loop. Then, grab this loop with your right hand, the other loop with your left, and pull tightly to the sides until the knot is firmly tied. I'm Abby. You're watching Everyday Things You Need to Know on womansday.com.

Piggy French winning on her Olympics horse Jakata. Picture: Matthew Usher.
Vanessa Britton
Monday, May 28, 2012
Until the very last fence, William Fox-Pitt and Avoca Alibi was on his way to winning the first Nations Cup at the Subaru Houghton International Horse Trials.
However, a rookie mistake cost him the competition: he jumped the wrong final fence, resulting in elimination, leaving the way clear for Norfolk's Piggy French and Jakata to sail through into the lead, with a fast double clear.
"He was amazing in all three phases," said Piggy of her star horse, owned by Wally French and Michael Underwood.
French was also quick to praise the organizers – Alec Lochore and the Musketeer EventManagement team – who managed to squeeze in extra entries to accommodate the massive field.
"They've done a great job especially taking loads of entries on late. It's been hectic for me," she added before grinning, "But then it's always hectic!"
French's win ensured the home team of herself, Mary King, Francis Whittington and Sarah Cohen took first place in this team event.
Whittington thought that the Nations Cup format was a great success and praised the cross country course, which seemed to ride well throughout the event
"The course had a lovely flow and asked the right questions," he said. "It was great to have a course like this to come back to competition."
Houghton was a key test for riders hoping for Olympic selection, and the event attracted riders from around the world – as well as Olympic team selector Yogi Breisner.
"It's been a great competition and it's amazing to see all three phases together in this wonderful setting. The relaxed approach here allows spectators to get close to the action, which is great for the sport," he commented.
When asked about his thoughts on the Olympic squad, Breisner understandably kept his cards close to his chest.
"I'm grateful for the potential Olympic run and pleased with the way all the horses are competing today," he said.
"The Nations Cup team winning on home ground is great, they've not let us down and I'm very pleased with all the horses that are on good form on the back of two months away from big competition."
Fox-Pitt may have scuppered his chances at Houghton, but most believe his place on the Olympic squad is assured, and now thanks to French's excellent performance it's looking good for Norfolk's star eventer too.

The way things are it looks as if when revived you are back at full health and fighting capacity, that seems a bit unbalanced and unrealistic to me. I believe it would be a lot cooler that once you'd be revived you'd only have aboutt 30% of your health and only be able to use your dagger as a weapon because you're too wounded to fight. Also, you would be hunched over and holding your chest with your left arm just so others know you are wounded.(A bit like L4D, where when you are revived you have to ALSO use a medkit to regain HP)
that way friendly players will be like:
"Hey that guy got recently revived, I should heal him."
And enemies would be like:
"Hey that guy got recently revived, I should finish him off for once and for good."
And once you're bandaged by a teammate you should only have about 50-60% of your HP(The rest you should have to regenerate in a nice quiet place), or else large group fights could go on forever and ever.
Image this scenario:
2v2, one guy from both sides go down, instead of fighting the remaining two decide to quickly help their wounded allies to their feet. Of course they won't have time to bandage their wounded comrades because there's a battle going on, the two guys who're healthy fight each other while the half-dead knights attack each other with shanks.
Also I believe when someone is knocked into the ground / killed they should be ragdolled at first, because it would be just silly to be fighting an enemy on castle walls and instead of having his ragdoll body falling down the castle he'd just float in the sky above the ledge. (GTA and Max Payne 3 are good examples of this, when you are heavily damaged or you are hit by an explosion you'll fly around like a ragdoll but eventually morph into the lying down pose)

This is an excellent conditioner. I also like the fact that it really has banana in it (second on the ingredient list!), not just the fragrance. I just love it!
I was attracted to this product because of the smell. It has a strong, delicious banana scent, but does not leave my hair smelling like bananas. Here are my pros and cons of this conditioner:
- beautiful scent
- reasonably priced and although the bottle is not that big, it has lasted me a long time
- not tested on animals :)
- bad packaging: the conditioner is fairly thick and it is hard to squeeze out of the bottle. I had to store it upside down to solve this.
- not a miracle conditioner: hydrated my normal hair, but did not make it overly soft
Overall, I am happy that I tried this product out, but my new salon conditioner works much better on my hair.

This conditioner surprisingly works well. I normally wouldn't reach for anything banana scented, but this smells more like pina colada and coconut than banana. It's also very light and rich, but because my hair needs more thick and penetrating nourishment, this doesn't fully meet my standards. However, the banana in this conditioner does a lot to add moisture, so it does soften hair and leave it bouncy. This is great for fine hair in particular, but probably not the best for those who need an extra something for their damaged or dry ends.
A classic product from the original TBS line-up - it has been d/c'ed and brought back (thank goodness). Inexpensive, effective and a great "bang for the buck". Very hydrating - can build up on fine hair - good conditioner. I like the banana scent, too.
Update: Just bought another bottle in 2013 and it's still $8 and a great product for the money.
I absolutely love this stuff, I almost didn't know what to do when my local store was out. I now purchase two at a time.
It smells amazing, its super moisturizing, it makes my hair super smooth and soft.
love love love
I completely forgot about this stuff! This conditoner smells very yummy like bananas. The conditioner itself is pretty average, but I love that it has natural ingredients, plus it really is not expensive. I would recommend this for anyone with thin hair, becuase I have thick curly hair and this conditoner is a tad bit lightweight for me, but overall not bad. Oh, the scent does not linger on the hair.
I have very dry hair because I almost wash it every day, I blow dry it, and I use a straightener. Before I started torturing my hair, my hair was a little bit wavy, it wasn't entirely straight so I bought a straightener, I did use protection serums, but the next day I always had to wash my hair again because after a night of sleep it was wavy again, and a bit greasier. So after two years my hair was damaged, and dry. Last summer I had to cut of a big piece of my hair, and I decided to stay away from my straightener for a while. I have blond hair, but now that I'm 22 it's gotten much darker then it was when I was a child, so sometimes I have to get highlights, sot that damages my hair even more. I have bought every brand of shampoo and conditioner that is on the market from really expensive (more than 25 euro) to really cheap brands. Sometimes the shampoos did restore my hair, but then it was so static and curly that I had to use my straightener again. The only thing that helps is olive oil, and an avocado mask. But I can't use this every day. Yesterday I bought the banana shampoo and conditioner, and this morning I tried it. I loved the smell. The shampoo was really great, it made my hair soft, didn't tangle. The conditioner was even better. For the first time this week I didn't use my straightener, I did blow dry my hair, but I didn't have to use any of my protection products. My hair is straight, shiny, and looks healthy! plus it smells divine!
LOVEEEE! This is the best lightweight conditioner! When I say lightweight, don't mistake me for saying that its not moisturizing. When I rinse of the Banana shampoo also from the Body Shop, my hair is quite tangled. You might think you need a lot of the conditioner to get all the tangles out but if you give it some time and patience to massage this all over your hair and leave it in for a minute or two, when you rinse it off it makes your hair so soft! Another thing I love about this conditioner is the fact that I can actually apply this all over my hair, without limiting it to the ends of my hair. In other words, this doesn't weigh my hair down a slight bit! After I use this along with the pairing shampoo, my hair feels clean, fluffy, and it looks so shiny:) Will definitely repurchase over and over again!

I really loved the smell of this conditioner, which is why I bought it. It makes my hair pretty soft and shiny, but it doesn't untangle it like other conditioners. It also doesn't exactly leave a layer around my hair, like conditioners that I have previously used. This probably has to do with the fact that it doesn't have any silicones in it, and I really prefer silicones in my conditioners that leave a layer and prevent split ends/or make it seem as if I don't have split ends. This is why I won't be repurchasing.
If you are looking for a silicone-free conditioner with a great smell, that leaves your hair light and soft, this is for you. If you are looking to prevent split ends (like me), you might need to look further.
