Run 5K

Fixing Squats
I'm only running if I can make it down the stairs tomorrow.
Those last two were...yeah.
Im with you Brendan, this is the worst DOMS I have ever experienced.
QUESTION: What is a decent, midrange time for 5k. I am going to substitute that amount of time on my VersaClimber....
Thanks is advance, looking forward to the next three day cycle!
A mercy WOD;)
My back thanks you Coach!!
Joseph, 22 to 23 minutes.
yes, me too, extremely sore! and loving it!
It there any disadvantage to running the 5k on the treadmill?
Bless you Coach!
Running I can do- I think. I know by now that if it looks easy- it isn't.
Nice statement, too.
Ian T,
The biggest disadvantage to running on a treadmill is the fact that you are running on a treadmill...
In reality there are perks to running on a treadmill, but I find that if one wishes to do sprints, quick pace changes, jump over things, get chased by dogs, get wet, get cold, and really enjoy running then the place to do it is outside.
Running sucks!
Anybody care to explain what's going on in the photo?
Cheers /Brian
Question: What does CrossFit say about using supplements such as creatine. Good? Bad? Indiferent?
I had to put off "Linda" till today due to a wedding and some traveling yesterday. The only problem is my shoulder wasn't haveing it. This is the first WOD I didn't finish. Very pissed and humbled. But thought it better to stop after 3 rounds then finish and have to take weeks off. Glad to see tomorrow is a 5k, but missing the pump from yesterdays workout.
Does anyone have advice for Bursitus, and Inpingment of the shoulder? I don't have the ability to look at the message board until tomorrow.
I concur with the DOMS. This is the worst my legs have hurt in a long time, and I only used 95# on Fri for most sets. My abs are pretty messed up too.
Will running help? I guess I can't expect any record times.
Creatine--check the message boards. There is plenty info to last for hours of reading. Those who use it seem to use a smaller dose than you normally hear with no loading phase.
Yay for the 5K! I'm glad I'm not the only one hobbling around today.
Ian, thanks for motivating me to run outside instead of using the treadmill. Only at CrossFit is being chased by a dog an incentive.
Jason B, I suggest you search the excellent Message Board. Chances are you question has already been asked and thoroughly discussed--probably more than once.
IanT, if you decide to use a treadmill, set the incline at 1-3% to make the physical demand more realistic.
Ah, 5K. My back thanks you. Those deads were brutal. And I was planning to run anyway.
The gentleman in the photo is improving his squat and graciously helping the rest of the class learn how to improve someone's squat (the photo is from the last seminar in Colorado).
He is doing the equivalent of the bar hold (described on pg 4 of the December 2002 issue of the Crossfit journal). By holding on to the bar he can settle into a perfect squat, find his balance, let go, stand up, and then repeat.
It allows the person to get the feel for the squat, the posture, and the balance required. Check out the journal for more details and add'l photos.
Hope that helps.
I don't know how I'm going to run when Im having trouble walking. My legs are rocked, and Im loving this stuff!!
24:30. Nothing great, but back stiffness (still - from bad form on push-jerks a wk ago) caused a kind of shortened, awkward gait. Oh, well, I own it.
Looking forward to tomorrow's WOD. Get some.
Running always buggers me knee, think i'll try subbing it for ~25mins skipping. That should get the old heart going.
30 minutes stationary bike. first 5 - lvl 3, 2nd 5 - lvl 4, 3rd 5 -lvl 6, 4th 5 - lvl 7 (through to 28 min) , last 2 minutes on 5 and 4. 310 calories. 10.8 miles.
27:39, treadmill 3-10% incline, average speed 5.8
Should have run outside but too dark, too cold, too rural an area to risk run over by a lumber truck...
32:07 not great!
I know I shouldn't ask a question on the comment page, but do we do the warmup every workout?
24:30 (better than last by nearly 2 minutes)--HR at finish: 182
Forgot to start watch. I have no idea how long it took me, but I'm betting it was slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
23:22 in combat boots and BDU's in the woods on a sandtrack.
Satan, thy name is running. 32:18, and I'll take it.
4.1 hilly miles, 38:24. 1:29 faster than 10/19/05
Thanks for the extra rest day coach.

Ok, maybe I was too excited about "just running a 5K". I forgot we do this for time :-(
I'm very happy I improved my time by 40 seconds since last time.
28 y/o female
5K time 29:10
Planned to do 150 reps of pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and squats....
Started getting nauseous by the 85th pull-up...went to throw up in the bathroom, came back and finished 150 reps!!! :-)
Then struggled to do all push-ups but finished breaking them down in sets of tens.
I was beat, so begged for mercy and now have to come back this afternoon to finish my 150 sit-ups and squats.
It feels ugly to puke, but it feels great to finish and not quit!
29:30 with Ike the dog. 1/2 on single-track and 1/2 on pavement.
First 5K in 7 years. BW 211. Time - 30:18. It will improve.
5K row, the only 5k my knees allow. 23:24. Congratulations to Erika, who shows amazing determination.
Total time: 23:24
Total distance: 5.01km
Avg. Speed: 12.85km/h
A bit slower than last time (previous was 13.25km/h).
Like last time, did this with intermittent speed bursts.
Wasn't feeling into it today. Certainly could have pushed harder. Pukie not even close, so i know i had more in me to give. Not disappointed, but not terribly pleased either.
Have to admit, though, as much as i hate running, i am so pleased this was the workout today. Still all busted up from the last few WoDs.
29:55. Slower than last time, but my legs were as sore and stiff as wooden stilts. Heart rate was calm and relaxed, but my legs were screaming for mercy. Thanks Linda!
24:10 5K row - broken toe still on the mend, no running or jumping for a while.
25 kipping pullups
52# kb snatches 6/6, 5/5, 4/4, 3/3, 3/3 - one minute rest between efforts
26# single arm kb Sots presses 3x3/3
10# iron cross static holds 5x3 with 3 second holds; arms completely straight and locked out.
24:19 5k on the road
Nice when the WOD lines up with unit PT. Ran my 5k this morning in about 30. Started well, felt strong...but then felt lousy by halfway. 3-day weekends should include the monday, not the friday.
RE: Bursitis/Impingement: any pulling movement is likely to irritate an impingement syndrome with bursitis, IE: upright row, cleans, snatch... you can calm it down (sometimes) with NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Naprosyn...) and with Ice post-workout. I like the ice idea the best, its less invasive and quit effective, in many cases.
If you go to your MD they will tell you to rest it completely, and give you an RX for one of the NSAIDs. Sometimes (not often) these shoulders get a corticosteroid injection.
There is an awesome text out there, called "The Seven Minute Rotator Cuff Solution," that has some rehab and prevention movements/lifts that are outstanding if you have chronic Impingement syndrome.
Good luck, wish you a quick rehab,

23:36 VersaClimber to 2200'
5k C2 row -- 29:04
OK, this a bad day for me to run, its raining and I live in rural area that is beyond muddy when you get out in it (last time I was out there I lost my shoe in the mud is was so thick) I dont have a row machine, what can I do to get the same cardio effect??
2:28 slower than last 5k.
best time yet- treadmill higher 6.8-7.8
time to increase grade from flat to 1%
I agree with running outside though- Feel like I am pushing my body to run at a certain speed vs machine going at set pace and I'm forced to move to keep up.
CT- run in place- jump rope?
Skip rope for same time that you'd take to run 5km. Throw in double unders if you feel you're not working hard enough. See: http://www.mitymous.net/weights/xfitfaq.htm#Substitutions1
That is awsome. Though in regards to puking... it feels better to do that then to be nauseous. I can't stand being nauseous... nice work on the pulls and pushups though.
Hope you had fun. I am looking forward to a run later today. If I am really lucks *grin* I will get all of the above listed items. The only one that I really love more than that isn't something everyone has to put up with so I did't list it. Running in minus 40 while it is snowing. One has to love Canada.
Check the message board, and read some stuff on this page http://www.johnberardi.com/. Make your own call buddy. But I think a lot of people are using it. Though I haven' used it in over a year.
and Kelly...
Are you doing the full iron cross on the rings? Awsome if so! I have been working up to that, and can do partials with my weight supported mid forearm as opposed to having it all the way out on my hands.
ran 5K
- 0:22 improvement.
treadmill: 7.6 mph
21:42, minute slower, also about 30 deg colder
41 yo male 185 lbs
5k Row 22:40
Time running loop 17:50. I know this is short, so I need to measure. I suspect I ran around 21:00 pace.
Worked on handstands-got up for a 5 second count and held! Did some L-sits and stretching to cool down.
5k C2 Row
I am so very sore. Running aggrevates my lower back, so I chose the C2.
no, why dose everying like running so much, i am really bad at it, the weights i can handel, anything but running, had a meeting with pukie and lost so i dont think my time counts.
Wow! Did not know whether to do this one or not because my legs & abs hurt so bad from Friday.
I surprised myself and did it in 30:43 (i know its slow), this was 2 min better than last time.
My legs did not really hurt while running...hopefully they will be better tomorrow.
Didn't bother timing the run as ran with the missus and it was her first go at 5km.....she did it non-stop.
x2 10 mile sprint bike rides today both done within 40 mins and with a break of 8 hours between each one (cycle to and from work!).
Had to be a sprint cos the weather has closed in properly and it was funking freezing today!
Team Ruthless CF VA
5K Run--21:58 (PR by :02)
keep up the strong work Erika!!
Ran back to the Park and Ride after work instead of getting the bus.
Just over 6k, 29:15
Ran slow as molasses...32:14
Saturday: 5k in 25 min 43 seconds
Sunday: Pickup bball, planted hard on my right leg and afterwards it felt like someone was stabbing me in the knee cap.
Today: can't put all my weight on it while walking down stairs.
At least I got that 5k in on Saturday. Looks like a week of pull ups and pushups for upper body, and advil and ice for lower body.

19:58 on treadmill, 1% incline. I may be weak, but at least I can run. It'll be interesting to see if I get slower as I get stronger.
a dismal 19:14
O.K., I got on a revmaster and did coach Troy's 14.0 totally time trial 1.5 hr. workout, then got on the treadmill for the 5k. 23:53.
CFWU x3
2.5k run ~ 15:00
2.5k row ~ 10:30
nice day for a run 21:34
new pr by :06.
hr 191 at finish line.
bw 212
Not sure if it was 3.1 or 3.2 miles I ran. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing at around 20 mph and it was 50 degrees, but I can't really use that for an excuse. Time was 22:18.
After Linda on Sat. I jumped on a plane for 2 hours. That was a mistake, body really tightened up. My family thinks I'm crazy for doing this. I only wish I had gone crazy before I turned 45.
Back and forearms are really tight from Linda. Trying like crazy to get a muscle up before the run but the transition is killing me. Really discouraging.
Orange County Crew is back after a modified rest/ vacation/out of town/ too busy, tired and scared of the workout week.
Sarah steps up with a sub 30 5k
Rett returns to form with 18 min
Julie 28:00
Ryan 21:30
Mr. Clean 2k 13:00
Rocky 23:00
Becca 26:09
Justin 24:22
P.Mac Didn't finish!
Good to be back at it.
Mr. Clean
did linda today
got her in just over 30 min
sub ring dips for bench add 40lbs
sub 2 pood kb cleans reps each arm
only thing broken was deads, all else no broken sets
5.5 km in 22:38
followed by 20 floor stair run in 2:00
Ten seconds slower than last time, but a guy stopped me to ask some questions about flooding in the area.
My first 5K
Abominable 28:12....ugh back was spasming/tight the last half reduced it into a run/walk. Need to figure this out.
Pretty scandalous considering my previous was around 24. I hate running. In my defense I had the totally wrong music on the shuffle. Last time out I made it 2 miles in 15 minutes before I walked a bit. This time I just couldn't motivate past 1.5 after which I ran/walked 1/4s.
cfwu x3
3.2mi in 25:12...48" slower than my best for the course. it was 'vertical wind sock' windy and i had to retie my shoe twice...oh yeah, and ive been doing some major slacking on running. i think im going to have to give up a day every rotation to work on my running from here until Feb 11th. it sucks but thats just the way it is. handstands later.
26:32, too slow!
35:00. 3 minutes faster than last time. Not bad considering that before the last 5k I wasn't at all sure that I could run that far non-stop.
After a great weekend of climbing, running and enjoying the last days of fall at the Gunks
A new PR! I'm psyched to go sub 19 minutes. I know I can go faster...
Executed the 5K WoD in ~ 30minutes (missed the correct timing again) @ .55mach/FL250.
-Additional bits of the Linda WoD as time permitted just for GTG.
-Abmat sit-ups and correlating back extensions.
Ran around Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis. Big props to Ian for encouraging me to do it outside. It was about 40f and windy, but much more enjoyable than on a treadmill. I'll see how many of these 5Ks I can do outside as winter settles in.
Orrin, congrats on the PR! It's all about personal improvement and a PR is always good news. Keep up the good hard work.
Too cold and wet for me today, so did 25 min. on xc ski machine. I'm still hurting from Linda.
Erika: Way to go, girl. When Pukie comes calling, I just stay nauseous. I have to have food poisoning or some other serious illness to upchuck.
Joseph H,
Thanks, That's been the daily norm since I awoken these nagging injuries. I know if I go to medical, they'll just tell me to stop workingout and do the strengthing exercises I was given while rehabing after the 2 surgeries I had. The problem, like many, is that I'm a junky of these WOD's. Who knows, may be I'll check out alternative medicens... Acupuncture??? Thanks again.
30.5 min on a treadmill
It's great to read about so many people with sore legs, only a few moments ago I was complaining to my wife saying "I can hardly walk".
Anyway, 20.21 for the 5k. The sub-20 minute time still eludes me. (Next time warm up to 15 and then slowly work up to 15.5. That will take you close.)
B/w 77.1 kg, B/f 10.3.
On-call, so I had to stay by the phone.
CFWU x3.
Used the eliptical for 30 minutes, 430cal tallied with hr in low 160s.
24:52. I hate the treadmill!
27 min Me
26 min Wife
24:03 5km
03:30 slower than last time. Yesterday's Linda and the tail end of a cold are picking on me. 8^(
C2 5k: 21:09.6, last time 21:07. Pretty much even. Came out too slow, finished hard. Not very motivated to get started today. Will make up either the FS WOD or Linda later tonight after the gym is empty.
Complete 5k in 22:54:79 not a good time but something to gage for next time. Cannot wait to see what the workout is for tomorrow. Nice not to have to do any pullups for a change. Just kidding.
Also, got my rings and video today and have them mounted in my apartment. Wow, what a difference the instability makes. Ring dips are hard. BW 240, can get 30 bar dips, so far none on the rings. Pure Strength > functional strength. For now.
Another disappointing performance, well off my PR. 24:16, using a new treadmill. Felt pretty lousy all the way. Guess I better work a bit harder.
treadmill vs. 29:45 on elliptical last time
24:30 as rx'd
14 seconds faster than last time, felt strong
26:39tm, I'm getting worse...
Rowed 5k16m in 25:09 (PR)
6.1K in 30:14 (3 sec slower than last time thanks to 84x185# Front Squats and 3 Bars O' Death) on hilly course pushing 70+# of double jogger & kids.
Wife: did 2 B.O.D., again, (45# DL and 55# clean - opposite of friend) while helping a friend do 3 B.O.D.
32:06 - I thought I was moving a lot faster than that...this is the most I have ever run (read jogged) at one time...
Treadmill & Track
My worst performance yet. Wont even post my time. Don't think I'm eating right or sleeping right.
On the treadmill at 1% incline. It hurt, must do better next time.
Crossfit Plano....killed me on Saturday with my first run in with Fight Gone Bad....
5.2k Run today in 27:01 still hurting...I know I'm weak
Yesterday I did Friday's workout, today I did Linda, and tonight I did the 5K. I am pretty sure someone hates my legs.
Half way thru the 5k my calf went south on me. Finished it in 29:13.
Cant' wait for tomorrow.
4 mi
5k Run @ 28:28 on a track.
ran on treadmill 1% incline. 1:30 better than the last time, but that was outside on a hilly course. unfortunately too dark to run outside this time of year after work.
5k in 24:05 on treadmill
29:30, slightly slower than my last 29:11. A cold and rainy night in Minneapolis.
Thanks for the support and encouragement guys!
I went back in the afternoon for KB session and finally got started on training for kipping pull ups :-) At this rate, my brain is going to be fried before my body gives up. It takes a lot of concentration to get this pull up motion down.
Did this one after work at 0200. Got a wild hair.
22:42. PR on this treadmill.
crossfit tikrit:
mfbunch: 19:10, 3 minute improvement-of course, the last post was the second one in three days-best 5k time in 13 years (approaching old pr of 18:52)
joeyd: 21:46 on treadmill, pr, over 4 minute improvement-had to walk on last one b/c of shin splints
First WOD ever. 23 min for 3 miles. Should have figured out the 5k equivalent for miles beforehand. Learning. . .
Treadmill 1% incline. 21:50. 1 minute off last WOD time.
I did this WOD yesterday but forgot to post my time. My legs and back were still tight from LINDA! I came in with a slow 32:00, but this was close to a 10 minute improvement from last 5K (when I could hardly move either leg). This is amazing since I have not done any "cardio" since the last 5K.
Subbed 5K Row. 22:12 PR, and 7:00 better than the last time did it as the WOD.
Right after the spear was invented, there was no further need for running.
This time I wore my body armor and helmet, an extra 23 pounds. It felt good to run, I haven't worked out in about a month due to work. Can harldy wait for tommorrow.
40 yr male
third week of CF
cfwux3 pullups need improvement
Did 25 min on stationary bike.
looking forward to posting a decent time for Fran
knee pain is gone from the magic of CF
I did the squat/sit-up workout two nights ago and ran last night. I am a bit sore.
Weather was cold and damp. 1 1/2 min slower than last time. 3 miles in 33:10
About 30 minutes. Lost stopwatch.
19:05, felt strong!
Dan's 5K time was better on Halloween, chasing a "perp."
Focus day: DL, FS, PU, Dips. Only thing was, no place to do dips, so I fooled around with decline bench press. Got it up to sets of 3 at 145#. 3x10 on all movements.
Followed by C2 100m sprints. Brutal.
Hi all,
Workouts as follows
#1 Ring dipx10 and Pull-upx10 (full ext.; no kip) for seven rounds. (morning).
#2 Walking lunge 120' (28 steps),
BB throwx20 (against wall),
BB push-upx15 (feet on floor), and
Farmer's walk 240' (40# DB's) for ten rounds (rounds 4&5, 8&9 were done together). (noontime) Duration 30:00
YMCA-Lincoln Park (4 Sets/Stairs) 46.5min
my foot is still agianst running. Subbed a martial arts workout instead (about 45 minutes).
4 miles : 35:30 on TM
5 mile road march, 35 pound ruck plus water and LBE
almost 5 minutes slower than last week. Try again Wednesday
25:00, which is 2:40 faster than my first crossfit 5k.
beat previous time by over 3 minutes! My best on this route. Helps that it wasn't in the high nineties for once.
9:15 (14:41 on 30 August 2005)
Used rx'd weight. All sets broken except the last set of thrusters. Pullups were kipping.
Wrists didn't bother me this time. Probably because of all the front squats and cleans I've been doing (in WODs) since last Fran.
Definite improvement. Thanks crossfit.
Ah crap posted this to the wrong day. Please disregard.
47:44, cutting ~3 min. per 5k
Did this WOD after "Fran" on Tue 11/15/05.
5K = 26:33 (Last 5K = 26:47)
I probably could have gone about 25:15 or sub 25 if I didn't do "Fran" before the 5K. Hmmmm
Thank you Coach and thank you CrossFit!
Had planned a 5km run with PT client so WOD worked in well.
Ran it in 26:19 her in 26:34. Urban loop around gym, with a little hill mid way
I think if i hadn't had to slow down so she could keep up i could have done it in sub 25 so thats the goal next time.
First Urban 5km,Usually do a 5.5km river loop so have no comprision except last time i did 5.5 ( 30min something) and i had to walk part to prevent visit from puckie (might have had something to do with 11:30am 35 C and 89% humidity)
L: 25:19...first distance run taken seriously in months, great room for improvement, breaking the threshold...its been too long
T: 19:15...solid run, felt real good...GET SOME!!
5K in 26 min...the guy on the treadmill next to me managed to drop his towel then cell phone on my treadmill so that slowed me down some. Treadmills suck...lots of room for improvement...
Ran 3K with ease, not even outta breath, should have finished full 5k!
to add to last post i ran that in 20mins
18:01 5k - should have pushed harder!!!
26:13 ( 15sec slowere than last time)
Finally recovered (barely) enough from the front squats to get to this, but did 5k row. 23:14. This was still tough and off my best time.
6ks at 38 min
CFWU x 3
Figured our 6.5 laps around the school was less than 3.1 miles, as evidenced by the 10/22 run on a marked trail. Decided to run 7 laps.
11/16/05 - 24:38 (7 laps around school)...felt tired and haven't run in a LONG time, but was glad to get this done.
10/22/05 - 24:48 (~3.1 miles)
10/19/05 - 22:48 (6.5 laps around school)
9/19/05 - 23:14 (6.5 laps around school)
8/26/05 - 24:08 (6.5 laps around school)
29:34 on treadmill.
I missed this workout due to a funeral so I ran 4 miles the next day. Didn't run for time, just enjoyed the beautiful evening.
First run since July.
23:05 on treadmill. Personal best by one minute!

Experts Still Expect Wind Energy to Boost the Welsh Economy
There are a lot of things working against the UK right now. However, the two biggest ones would be energy and the economy. Right now, energy prices are on the rise, and people are having a hard time paying their bills. They are having a hard time because the economy is at a standstill. Tons of people remain unemployed. So when a job does become available, it is flooded with requests.
However, there could be an easy answer to both problems: wind power. That's right, according to reports, wind energy may be able to not only help the UK reach its carbon emission goals, but it could actually boost the economy by close to £2.3 billion.
This new research was carried out by the Cardiff Business School. They found that an average of 2,000 extra jobs a year could be created until 2050 if the UK would invest more in wind power. Not only that, but it would inject close to £2.3 billion into the Welsh economy. These are numbers that are simply too big to be ignored.
The research that was carried out by thee Cardiff Business School was based on how much money has remained in Wales and has been spent on wind farms. As it turns out, there is a pretty good rate here that the government needs to be paying attention to. That being said, the school also warned that any further delays on approving wind farms will hamper these results.
Of course, the Welsh government does have a few projects in the pipeline. They have set a goal to generate at least 2,000 megawatts of power from onshore wind turbines by the year 2025. Most of the power would be available by the year 2020. The government knows that these projects will not only improve their chances of reaching their carbon emission goals, but it should also improve the economy.
Despite all of this, the fact remains that this is not enough. More has to be invested in green energy. This is the only way that, not only Wales, but the rest of the world can break its dependency on fossil fuels. In order to move forward, more money has to be invested. In the end, it would prove to be a smart move by businesses to invest in renewables. After all, one day renewable energy will have to surpass fossil fuels, because it is not renewable.

Tennessee lawmakers gave initial approval to a new panel that would hear appeals on school charter decisions after an apparent compromise was reached between school boards and charter school advocates.
The House Education Committee voted 9-3 in favor of an amendment that would set up a nine-person board that could issue final decisions on charters. The amendment replaces an early proposal that critics said would have effectively stripped the Nashville and Memphis school boards of their power to reject charter schools.

Section III
How Graduated Driver Licensing is Effective
Addressing the Problems
Young novice drivers are a highway safety problem for many reasons, primarily a combination of immaturity, inexperience and high-risk driving exposure. This is true for teenagers everywhere, but it is a particular problem in the United States, where more teenagers have cars or have access to a family car than in any other nation. Teenagers are also more likely to drive older and smaller cars, are less likely to wear seat belts, and are more likely to have multiple teenage passengers.
Traditional approacheshigh school driver education, a learner's permit and perhaps stepped up penalties for infractionshave not had as great an impact on reducing the incidence of teen crashes and convictions as anticipated. In fact, there is some evidence that early driver education classes may encourage younger licensure, thereby increasing risk exposure.
On the other hand, graduated driver licensing has been shown to be effective by:
Let's look at each of these four benefits.
Expanding the learning process
Graduated driver licensing lengthens the learning process. The longer the period of time that elapses between issuance of the first permit to the full, unrestricted license, the more maturity and experience the novice driver will accumulate and the better his or her driving performance will be. The learning experience for driving cannot be rushed. As with any complex task, it takes time to assimilate the skills and information needed to perform the job adequately.
Reducing risk exposure
Graduated driver licensing allows young drivers to gain much-needed driving experience in controlled, lower risk circumstances, such as nighttime driving restrictions, passenger limitations, required restraint use for all occupants, and license sanctions that kick in at a lower threshold (e.g., first conviction for a serious violation).
These exposure-reducing components work in two ways. First, they catch young drivers early when they make mistakes or errors in judgment and allow correction. Second, they serve as a motivating factor for teens to study for tests, drive safely and avoid risks in the first place.
Improving driving proficiency
Placing limits on teen mobility may reduce driving exposure, but driving proficiency can be improved through measures that emphasize getting teens behind the wheel to practice. These components encourage the intermediate licensee to make safe driving decisions while driving to reduce risk. They include: multi-level instruction coupled with multi-level testing (giving inexperienced drivers the opportunity to first learn then practice the basics before moving on to learning and practicing more advanced skills); parental guidance; driver improvement courses; and delayed re-testing after failure.
Enhancing motivation for safe driving
Graduated driver licensing not only helps the novice driver better cope with risks, but also enhances the motivation to drive safely and "play by the rules." Restrictions are lifted as rewards for good driving, and sanctions are imposed for violations. For young drivers, the worst sanction may be the delay that keeps them in an earlier stage longer, while their peers advance to the next level. By making relief from restrictions contingent upon a good driving record, graduated driver licensing provides incentive to drive safely.

Tsetse fly genome reveals weaknesses
International 10-year project unravels biology of disease-causing fly
Mining the genome of the tsetse fly has revealed more about its unique biology. [DOI:10.1126/science.1249656]
Mining the genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly, researchers have revealed the genetic adaptions that allow it to have such unique biology and transmit disease to both humans and animals.
The tsetse fly spreads the parasitic diseases human African trypanosomiasis, known as sleeping sickness, and Nagana that infect humans and animals respectively. Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, 70 million people are currently at risk of deadly infection. Human African trypanosomiasis is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of neglected tropical diseases and since 2013 has become a target for eradication. Understanding the tsetse fly and interfering with its ability to transmit the disease is an essential arm of the campaign.
This disease-spreading fly has developed unique and unusual biological methods to source and infect its prey. Its advanced sensory system allows different tsetse fly species to track down potential hosts either through smell or by sight. This study lays out a list of parts responsible for the key processes and opens new doors to design prevention strategies to reduce the number of deaths and illnesses associated with human African trypanosomiasis and other diseases spread by the tsetse fly.
"Tsetse flies carry a potentially deadly disease and impose an enormous economic burden on countries that can least afford it by forcing farmers to rear less productive but more trypanosome-resistant cattle." says Dr Matthew Berriman, co-senior author from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "Our study will accelerate research aimed at exploiting the unusual biology of the tsetse fly. The more we understand, the better able we are to identify weaknesses, and use them to control the tsetse fly in regions where human African trypanosomiasis is endemic."
The team, composed of 146 scientists from 78 research institutes across 18 countries, analysed the genome of the tsetse fly and its 12,000 genes. The project, which has taken 10 years to complete, will provide the tsetse research community with a free-to-access resource that will accelerate the development of improved tsetse-control strategies in this neglected area of research.
" Our study will accelerate research aimed at exploiting the unusual biology of the tsetse fly. The more we understand, the better able we are to identify weaknesses, and use them to control the tsetse fly in regions where human African trypanosomiasis is endemic. "
Dr Matthew Berriman
The tsetse fly is related to the fruit fly - a favoured subject of biologists for more than 100 years - but its genome is twice as large. Within the genome are genes responsible for its unusual biology. The reproductive biology of the tsetse fly is particularly unconventional: unlike most insects that lay eggs, it gives birth to live young that have developed to a large size by feeding on specialised glands in the mother.
Researchers found a set of visual and odour proteins that seem to drive the fly's key behavioural responses such as searching for hosts or for mates. They also uncovered the photoreceptor gene rh5, the missing link that explains the tsetse fly's attraction to blue/black colours. This behaviour has already been widely exploited for the development of traps to reduce the spread of disease.
"Though human African trypanosomiasis affects thousands of people in sub-Saharan Africa, the absence of a genome-wide map of tsetse biology was a major hindrance for identifying vulnerabilities," says Dr Serap Aksoy, co-senior author from the University of Yale. "This community of researchers across Africa, Europe, North America and Asia has created a valuable research tool for tackling the devastating spread of sleeping sickness."
Tsetse flies have an armament of salivary molecules that are essential for feeding on blood. The team found one family of genes, the tsal genes, that are particularly active in the salivary glands of the tsetse fly. This allows the tsetse fly to counteract the responses from the host to stop bloodfeeding. This finding and several others are explored in more detail in eight research papers that accompany the publication of the tsetse fly genome in Science.
"This information will be very useful to help develop new tools that could reduce or even eradicate tsetse flies," says Dr John Reeder, Director of the Special Programme for Research Training in Tropical Diseases, at WHO. "African sleeping sickness is understudied, and we were very pleased to help bring together so many research groups to work collaboratively with the one shared goal in sight - the elimination of this deadly disease."

NJ mall on lockdown after shots fired
PARAMUS, N.J. — Hundreds of law enforcement officers converged on a mall
in northern New Jersey Monday night after witnesses said multiple shots were
fired there.
NorthJersey.com reported that witnesses said a man dressed in black and wearing
a black helmet fired up to five shots at Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus
shortly after 9 p.m. before the mall closed.
Bergen County spokeswoman Jeanne Baratta tells The Associated Press that
shortly after 9 p.m. a call went out that shots had been fired at the Garden
State Plaza Mall in Paramus.
There are no reports of fatalities or injuries.
A manager at Chili's at Garden State Plaza told The Associated Press they were
on lockdown and could not leave. She said a manager at Nordstrom ran over to use
the phone saying there had been a shooting. She did not say if the Nordstrom
manager witnessed it.
Althea Brown, 26, of Paterson told NorthJersey.com she was in a clothing store
when she saw a man walk by and then heard three shots followed by two more. She
said he appeared to be wearing body armor and was wearing a helmet with the
visor pulled up.
Several frightened customers sent tweets saying they were escorted from the
mall by armed state troopers. One woman wrote that she ran from the mall
Baratta says one shell casing has been found. She says SWAT teams and police
with K-9 units are working their way moving through the mall. She says
authorities are working to evacuate anyone who is still in the mall.
She said that as of 11:30 p.m., authorities believe people are still in the
The mall is located in Bergen County, about 22 miles southwest of Manhattan.

Tackling the biggest coastal resilience challenge in West Africa
The Senegal River is the second largest river in West Africa and forms the natural border between Senegal and Mauritania for much of its course as it flows west towards the Atlantic Ocean. At the coastal delta it flows past the low river banks of the city of Saint-Louis. From there it turns south, running alongside a thin strip of sand dunes separating it from the ocean for the last 30 km until it reaches the river mouth.

Ohio State slapped with 9 NCAA infractions
COLUMBUS - The NCAA yesterday issued what was essentially a nine-count indictment against Ohio State University's football and men's and women's basketball programs.
But while university officials said they recognized the seriousness of allegations of providing cash gifts and academic favoritism to athletes, there was a sense of relief that the report did not include a single charge stemming from highly publicized allegations by former tailback Maurice Clarett.
"Yeah, I feel good," said Gene Smith, who has been Ohio State's athletic director for about a month.
"I wasn't here at the time, but I feel good now because of where we are.●.●.," he said.
"With my familiarity with cases and knowing how typically the [NCAA] enforcement staff is very diligent in following up on things, to sit here and see that we have an 'extra benefit' allegation for football that is a single allegation is refreshing. So yeah, I feel good about it."
The single allegation stemming from the football program dealt with wages paid by Buckeye booster Robert Q. Baker of Springfield to quarterback Troy Smith for work that was apparently never performed. The university suspended the athlete from the team for December's Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State, a game Ohio State won 33-7.
University President Karen Holbrook characterized the nine allegations as "consistent with our expectations."
Seven allegations deal with the basketball program, including the most serious claim that former coach Jim O'Brien through former assistant coach Paul Biancardi, now head coach at Wright State University, made a $6,700 payment to the family of recruit Alex Radojevic in Yugoslavia back in 1998 or 1999.
Mr. O'Brien volunteered the information last year once it was about to become public through a separate lawsuit filed by Kathleen Salyers of Gahanna, Ohio.
Ms. Salyers had sued Dan and Kim Roslovic, for whom she worked as a nanny, for allegedlyreneging on payments for another recruit, Slobodan "Boban" Savovic, to live with her. The suit was recently thrown out of court.
The NCAA alleges that Mr. O'Brien "acted contrary to the principles of ethical conduct."
The university fired Mr. O'Brien last year and voluntarily imposed a one-year ban on postseason play for the team.
University officials hope the NCAA takes note of the self-imposed sanctions, although Mr. Smith couldn't speculate what, if any, additional sanctions could be pending or whether the issue would be resolved before player signing day in November.
Mr. O'Brien has sued the state for breach of contract.
Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Biancardi's attorney, C. James Zeszutek told the Associated Press, "We deny that we engaged in any improper conduct under NCAA bylaws and legislation."
Mr. Biancardi has cooperated fully with NCAA investigators and is barred by the NCAA from publicly discussing the allegations, Mr. Zeszutek said.
Neither Mr. Smith nor Ms. Holbrook would discuss whether the school might impose more sanctions upon itself while awaiting the outcome of the NCAA process.
The ninth allegation deals with a Columbus orthodontist who provided free or discounted dental services to several women's basketball players.
The university must respond by July 26 to the allegations and provide additional information requested by the NCAA.
It then faces a hearing before the NCAA infractions committee, probably in September or October.
While noting that the most serious allegation involving Mr. O'Brien dates back to 1998 and that the university investigated and responded promptly when it learned of it, neither Ms. Holbrook nor Mr. Smith could promise such embarrassing incidents couldn't happen again.
He said the university has not been told that the NCAA investigation into Clarett's allegations is closed, but said he would have expected any findings to have been included in yesterday's report.
Clarett, who helped lead Ohio State to a national championship in 2002, was recently drafted by the Denver Broncos, a year after the NCAA went to court to prevent him from going professional following his freshman year.
He told ESPN The Magazine that coach Jim Tressel had set him up with a loaner car, that team boosters slipped him thousands in cash, and that Mr. Tressel's brother, Dick, a coach for Ohio State's running backs, got him a job as landscaper, for which he received payment even though he didn't show up for work.
Ms. Holbrook said the lack of Clarett-related allegations is consistent with its own internal investigation.

John Hanes, a senior at Lake Worth High School, Medical Science Academy and Vice President of the Wellington Teen debate team, served as Florida "Ambassador" to the annual Kids Speak Up! conference sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of America that took place in Washington, D.C., April 1-3, 2012. As one of nearly 50 youth with epilepsy from across the United States, John represented the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida and met with several of Florida's congressional offices to advocate for better access to care, improved public education and more research toward a cure for epilepsy.
The Epilepsy Foundation of America is a national nonprofit with affiliated organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida throughout the United State, that leads the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy since 1967. The organizations' goals are to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; improve how people with epilepsy are perceived, accepted and valued in society; and promote research for a cure.
"We are most grateful for John's advocacy on behalf of so many people and their families impacted by this disorder. His trip to the Capitol came at a particularly auspicious time; the Institute of Medicine just released a report showing the broad reach of this condition, stating that 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. John's engagement, commitment and passion are making a difference" said Karen Basha Egozi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida.
"It was a great experience, being able to educate our policy makers about epilepsy, the needs of the community and the difference that can be made with federal funding," said John. "I want to encourage anyone impacted by epilepsy in any way to join me in speaking out by asking their members of Congress to cosponsor H. Res. 298, the RAISE Resolution (Raising Awareness and Insight into Seizures and Epilepsy). There are 375,000 Floridians living with epilepsy; together, if we speak up and speak out, we can make a positive difference."
While in Washington D.C., John was trained to become a national and local advocate on behalf of the nearly 3 million people with epilepsy in the United States. The three-day event included training sessions and seminars that educated participants about epilepsy and helped them develop their public speaking skills. As Florida's "Ambassador", John has committed to a Year of Service as an active epilepsy advocate helping other kids and families to understand epilepsy and advocating for policies that support people with epilepsy. I had my first seizure in the middle of an airport in a third world country," recalled Hanes. "I am grateful for the support my family and I have received from the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida," Hanes said. "And, I want to give back to the community."

Bill Ryan, owner of Rocky Mountain Consulting, addresses U.S. Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes during a public meeting in Vernal on May 26. Hayes was in the Uintah Basin to discuss the administration's decision to cancel 77 oil and gas leases in Utah.
United States Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes stepped into the crosshairs Tuesday of the fight over his boss' decision to cancel 77 oil and gas leases in Utah.
He did it in the heart of the state's energy region.
"We know that the withdrawal of these leases has been an unsettling event," Hayes told an audience of nearly 800 people at the Western Park Convention Center in Vernal.
Hayes was in the Uintah Basin for a "listening session" with local leaders and the community.
The trip was part of an agreement between Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, to review the secretary's cancellation of 77 oil and gas leases auctioned off by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in December.
The leases are the subject of several pending lawsuits in federal court.
"We don't really understand why these (leases) got pulled and we're asking you to take a critical review of a number of these leases," said Brad Boyce, executive vice president of Cirque Resources.
Boyce indicated the Denver-based energy firm successfully bid on three of the leases that were later canceled.
He said the parcels were adjacent to other properties Cirque holds the mineral rights to and are not located near any national parks, which was one of the reason cited for Salazar's decision.
"When one reviews the facts of these leases it becomes apparent that these properties have been scrubbed by the BLM and were not part of any last ditch leasing effort by the Bush administration," said Boyce.
Bill Ryan, a founding member of Uintah County's public lands committee and the owner of an energy consulting firm, said the primary concern for the industry extends beyond the 77 disputed leases.
He said energy companies who bid on leases are required to pay bonuses on the parcels they win, money which is returned to the state and county of origin.
"When you, through an administrative decision, go ahead and pull these, it makes operators less willing to pay high bonus fees because they don't know for sure that they're going to actually enjoy the right that they thought they had won in a legal sale," said Ryan.
"You're creating an environment that is not friendly to some of the operators," he said. "It's a very dangerous thing that you guys have done."
Other speakers focused on the personal impact that the slow economy and Salazar's decision has had on their lives.
Cheryl Hemphill said she is battling breast cancer and her husband has been laid off from his oil-field job. The couple is facing mounting medical bills and may soon be forced to move in with one of their adult children.
"Obama got his presidency by saying, 'Change,'?" Hemphill said, "but I'm lucky if I have any change left."
R.L. Tatman, a long-time oil-field worker, told Hayes the energy industry operates under mounting state and federal regulations, many of which he said are unnecessary.
"For the most part, wells aren't easy to drill," said Tatman. "There are no less than 80,000 regulations, from the leasing to the drilling of the well. ... Can you think of any one single thing that takes 80,000 regulations? Could we build houses if there were 80,000 regulations?"
Tatman said the basin is a tough area to drill in because the Vernal BLM office is "doing its job" and urged Hayes not to allow the federal government to implement additional regulations on oil and gas exploration and production.
"We don't need anymore regulations," he said.
A few supporters of Salazar's decision to rescind the leases stepped to the microphone only to be drowned out by boos and catcalls.
Hayes called for respect for all of the speakers, as did others in the audience who want the leases reinstated.
"I'm a little bit disturbed by the lack of respect that we've given some of the speakers because we're not rednecks," said Val Labrum of Roosevelt, who then said Salazar should return the leases to the winning bidders.
Hayes, who met behind closed doors with state and county leaders before the public hearing, said his team would make recommendations to Salazar by the end of next week and discuss them with Bennett shortly thereafter.
"We are hoping we can work through this," he said. "We know by your very presence here how important this is to all of you."

text: Robert Francis Account Director Grayling Brussels It's the geopolitical equivalent of a naughty schoolboy being sent outside the classroom. Monday's decision by G8 – now G7 – members to suspend Russia from its exclusive club perhaps comes as an embarrassment to Russia, not least since it was meant to be having the glory of hosting the G8 Summit in the Winter Olympic resort of Sochi. So are we witnessing the resurrection of Cold War borders? Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister doesn't seem to think so. "We don't believe it will be a big problem if it doesn't convene," he commented. As well he might, for there are chinks the size of the Black Sea in the current G7 alignment. Firstly, they do not see eye to eye on quite what to do with Russia and the levels of sanctions. Secondly, politics, like business, does not happen in a vacuum. Hamstrung Corporate entities in the Western world are becoming increasingly uneasy about what could, in the end, amount to a virtual blacklisting of a key market. Russia is the third most important economic partner for the EU, which is the country's largest investor, and Russia represents more than 6% of EU exports and nearly 10% of its imports. Moreover, supplies of Russian gas cover 19% of the EU's total gas consumption, including 80% in Poland, 65% in Austria, 37% in Germany and Italy and 24% in France (et voilà why the latter three countries want to go easy on Mr Putin…) This effectively means that the EU – and by extension the G7 – is hamstrung when it comes to dealing with its eastern neighbour. Similarly, Russia itself is heavily reliant on selling its gas, amongst others, to the EU. Ultimately, the G7 needs Russia, and Russia needs the G7. Stalemate All of which means that the most likely scenario to emerge from the current situation is… stalemate. Ultimately, the G7 needs Russia, and Russia needs the G7. The Cold War ended over twenty years ago, the world is much more intertwined than it was, and Russia is now a free market economy operating within the WTO. We have come a long way since the fall of the Soviet Union, and although Crimeans now fly another flag (and most seem quite happy about this at the current time), there is sure to be a G7/8 rapprochement around the corner. There has to be. There is no other way. It's time for the naughty schoolboy to come in from the cold.

Does miranda cosgrove like to be nude or have a sex scene in future movies J3T
Actress Miranda Cosgrove (born Miranda Taylor Cosgrove on May 14, 1993 in Los Angeles, California) has made no mention of any plans to do a nude scene or sex scene in any upcoming movies.
So far the 18 year old's career has consisted of tame roles in movies and television shows aimed at a younger audience, such as "iCarly."
It is unlikely her career will take such a drastic turn as to involve nudity or sex scenes any time soon. The only work announced is material rated G and PG.
She started out at age 5 in the TV series Smallville (2001), and you'll be able to check out her voiceover work in Despicable Me 2 when it's released on July 3, 2013.

Revolution Essential Insulated Gloves £17.61
Great value, well designed winter gloves – waterproofing would make them better still
Weight 200g Contact www.edinburghbicycle.com
Previous Review
Next Review
Revolution Essential insulated Gloves make excellent mid winter do all riding companions thanks to windproof, breathable backs. Low density, extremely tactile padding locks wind chill firmly outside while stretch knuckles and side finger panels allow nimble fingers for operating light switches, toggling computer functions and performing those roadside repairs/tune-ups. However, I would sooner pay a little more for the convenience of waterproofing.
Closely resembling Endura's Strike gloves, the large were spot on, helped in no small part by the huge Velcro cuffs. Ulnar nerve padding is now expected, although my experience suggests its effectiveness varies from brand to brand and chevron type knobbles positioned on the heels of the palm might look peculiar, they seem more effective than most gel padding over longer periods bit grip remains better on embossed, matt rather than traditional glossy bar tape. Attacked by thorns and bramble along narrow bridleways, the backs remain in good condition and the palms should survive the odd mixed terrain tumble with little ill effect.
Some winter gloves can make otherwise very slick, precision controls feel remote but articulated knuckles keep things positive. Build quality too is on a par with brands twice the price thanks to consistent double stitching throughout the palm and points most vulnerable to abrasion. Subtle, yet extensive Scotchlite detailing around the back extends to the forefinger and accentuates hand signals, particularly on unlit roads and integrated nylon tabs means they won't get separated in the drawer. Resilient in the face of a wet November, they eventually saturated subjected to two hours continual rainfall and the same happens almost immediately when partially submerged, taking several hours to dry at room temperature.
Great value, well designed winter gloves but waterproofing would make them better still.

Size tested: Large
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The Essential insulated gloves are precisely that, keenly priced and very warm winter gloves, great for commuting and winter training/club runs. However, while hardy enough,their ability to absorb water means they're not the best choice for wet weather mountain biking or cyclo cross.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Micro Pu palm with double stitching and ulnar nerve padding, polyester mesh back, velcro cuffs,articulated knuckles and scotchlite reflectives.
200g pair (Large as tested)
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
The Essentials do most things very well, offering warmth and dexterity and a high standard of comfort thanks to sensible padding. Articulated knuckles make for nimble fingers when tackling roasdside repairs and operating computer/lighting switches. Scotchlite detailing is among the best I've seen, really emphasising hand signals Material seems surprisingly hardy too but will absorb and retain moisture in heavy downpours. However, the curious looking ulnar nerve padding is more effective than most, delivering day long protection from numbness.

I regularly do the following types of riding: cyclo cross, commuting, touring, fixed/singlespeed, mtb,
I agree, these are superb winter gloves.
Moreover, Edinburgh Bike Co-op don't claim they are waterproof, so I would not mark them down on that basis.
Especially when they still keep out the rain for 2 hours, making them perfect for most real-world winter rides. (I admit here that I'm a softy whose winter rides are rarely longer than 2 hours.)

At the end of the nineties several website hosting companies started diversifying their offers and proposed their customers to host and manage applications like Microsoft Exchange. This was called the "hosted model". At the beginning of the millennium, some software vendors also proposed to host their applications on their own infrastructure. This was called the "on-demand model" but was often confused with the "hosted model". If both models offer similar advantages like the often mentioned "move from Capex to Opex" and both pros and cons of outsourcing, the "on-demand model" comes with a game changers: the hosting infrastructure is owned by the developers.
As you can see the "on-demand model" offers some clear advantages in terms of software quality.
Around 2005, this architecture got a new name supposed to reflect the nature of the deal: "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS). When maturing SaaS become such a powerful platform that it enabled not only basic customisation but also new applications development. The industry called this new concept "Platform-as-a-Service" (PaaS).
Everything here is about PaaS in a Salesforce world (force.com).
My posts are mainly aimed at consultants and architects.
I hope you enjoy reading.

Wen Cleansing Conditioner Spring Gardenia
In very interesting (and appealing to me) marketing technique, Wen has started releasing seasonal scents of the popular Cleansing Conditioner.
Pumpkin made an appearance for Fall and Vanilla Mint for Winter. I personally love this idea as who sticks to the same scents as the seasons change right? We change our clothes to fit the seasons and weather why not our haircare and fragrances right?
Wen Cleansing Conditioner Spring Gardenia launches for Spring with the aroma of lovely gardenia on the wind!
Wen's rich and moisturizing cleansing conditioners eliminate the need for shampoo & its harsh effects.
The Spring Gardenia scent is available now at qvc.co/Qbeauty
3/1/12 12:09 Eve:
I've read quite a bit of reviews/rants of people using WEN having their hair fall out. Sounds scary!
3/1/12 14:03 kimkats:
Hmmm…. I've been humming on trying Wen for some time now… I may have to spring for this stuff in the Gardenia scent – sounds delish!!
3/1/12 17:02 Liz!:
I have the Winter Vanilla Mint and I like it, looooove the scent. I haven't had my hair fall out, but I also don't use it every day, I have to swap it out because my scalp gets oily so I need something to get rid of that. I love the idea of seasonal scents, I'll have to check this out, it sounds pretty!
3/1/12 17:28 diane:
i've been using wen since july and my hair hasn't fell out. if a person is allergic to an ingredient, i can see it happening.
i love wen and love the seasonal formulation so much. can't wait to smell this scent!!
3/11/12 18:30 Lisa:
I just ordered this along with the volumnizing treatment and lavender oil. I use Wen on and off (probably less than I should) but I'm tempted to try it. Hoping it is not overly floral (the kinda where it gets stuck in your nose and you just want to sneeze).
6/24/12 0:18 Laura:
Well, at first Wen was awesome for my hair, but after a year or using it, I did notice that my hair started to thin out. I started a new medication, so it may have been that too. Not sure what caused my hair to fall out, but it got really thin to the point of having to cut off about 5 inches being as it started to get "see through" at the ends. Hoping it wasn't Wen being as I am wanting to get back to using it. I had to quit using it for awhile.
12/21/12 15:46 Ashley:
I have recently started using Wen on the recommendation of a family member. I began using the sweet almond mint scent, and felt that it worked just as well as advertised. I ordered a package that offered seasonal scents and thought it was a bargain. I started using the gardenia scent and I saw my hair take a turn for the worst. After scrubbing and rinsing in the shower for what seems like forever, I never feel that the gardenia gets my hair clean. By midway through the day my hair is oily and greasy, and doesn't have any sort of volume. Only upside is that I do notice less hair loss in my brushes and in the shower. I haven't given up on wen yet, but would not recommend the spring gardenia variety.

An interesting Economix piece is the depiction via an interactive map of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' state by state underemployment percentages.
Underemployment, designated U-6 by Bureau of Labor Statistics, is "a broader measure of unemployment that includes underemployed and discouraged workers. Across the country, the (standard) unemployment rate was 9.3 percent last year. Including the underemployed and discouraged, however, the national rate rose to 16.2 percent."
Oregon comes in third with an underemployment rate of 20.7%. Michigan at 21.5% and California at 21.1% are number one and two respectively.

The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinthe and Hellboy.
Humans have been displaced at the top of the food chain, and now understand – to their outright horror – what it is to be not the consumer, but the consumed.
Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection.
As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, now a vampire herself, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack.
As the Biblical origins of the Ancient ones are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race – worse even than annihilation….
©2010 Guillermo del Toro (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"The climax, all fire and brimstone, nicely sets up the third and final volume." (Financial Times)
"Enough blood-curdling action to set up a gory finale." (News of the World)
"Relentlessly paves the way for what promises to be an epic third book." (Kirkus)
"Fast-paced, action-packed, and even better than the first volume. Highly recommended for thriller and horror fans." (Library Journal)
"The authors ratchet up the tension as events alter and the stakes become higher." (SFF World)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Good solid follow up to The Strain."
Picks up where the last book left off with New York in chaos, Vampires crawling all over the place sucking blood like there is no tomorrow (possibly this will be the case.
It's now set up nicley for part three. The only down side was that Ron Perlman (who's narration gave The Strain the edge over most audio books) was not reading it. In fairness Daniel Oreskes has a a good go at it but he's no Pearlman.
"Bit of a technical let down"
Sounds like it was recorded in a tin shack during a hail storm with a home made microphone. If Alexander Graham Bell heard this he'd think we hadn't taken a single step forward in sound quality since his first phone call. Such a shame after the first one
"workmanlike follow up to The Strain"
The Fall picks up exactly where 'The Strain' finishes so you really do need to read the books in order.
Although 'The Fall' lacks the high octane tension of 'The Strain', the difference being magnified perhaps by a rather subdued narration, it is nonetheless a very enjoyable listen and never less than absorbing - well written and well plotted. Several loose ends are left dangling no doubt to be picked up in part 3.
If you enjoyed part 1 then I am sure you will like part 2 as well.
"Great book"
Loved it good story. Better than book one. Good narration. Better than Ron pearlman performance on book one. Look forward to book 3
"Excellent series"
My favourite part of the trilogy. Lots of interesting back story for the old hunter. And the introduction of the kickass hoods.
"The Fall (Unabridged)"
One of the best books I've listened to.
Fantastic because of content and also the narrators voice.
If you liked the first book 'The Strain', then you'll love this one. It's an excellent follow up to the original. I'd recommend listening to the first one before listening to this one. It give the characters extra dept in this book.
"Lost interst"
The first novel in this series was a good start but after the novelty has worn off this became a bit of a confusing bore.
"A Fantastic Continuation, leaving you wanting more"
Middle books in trilogies are always problematic- the story is no longer just beginning but at the same time, it can't end- there's a whole other volume to go yet. This book makes for a tense and at times horrifying journey between stops. It maps society unravelling with the vampire plague taking hold as our heroes struggle against overwhelming odds.
I've no clue how Guillermo del Toro's fabulist nature and Chuck Hogan's gritty street prose ever managed to come together so well as they do in this story. It's a fantastic blend of the mystic and the mundane. The revelations about the vampire Ancients are smartly developed, with a logical conclusion.
On the narration- it's no longer Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy) but Daniel Oreskes, the new narrator makes a fine substitute, with a voice that echoes if not imitates his characteristic growl.
I was initially dubious about the first book in the series 'The Strain' as I always am of books with multiple authors, but went on the pedigree of the Authors themselves (especially del Toro) and found it to be 'Ok' (no masterpiece). But as we do when we buy into a series or in this case a trilogy, we expect things to get more exciting and for the story to grow on us.
Alas The Fall seems to be aptly named.
You would have thought that the long gap in between part's one and two would mean that the authors were working on mind blowing Tension builder with plot twists for an edge of your seat thrill ride, but what becomes apparent is that they had other projects to focus on and obvious just couldn't be bothered, The story continues on straight from the first book and in my honest opinion this could have easily been tagged onto the first book.
Will I be getting the final part ? unfortunately I probably will as I feel I've invested my time in this story and deserve a conclusion and boy it had better be better than this one.......
On a final note, Vampire books aren't really my thing and I didn't realize 'The Strain' was in the genre until I started it, but this aside for those of you that haven't as yet read/listened to it yet let me wholeheartedly recommend 'The Passage' by Scott Cronin, which is everything this book and its prequel should have been.
