Just a note to let all of the people emailing in about where to find out more information or books on "how to develop various techniques" – well we do have a recommended reading section here that is the best starting point for anyone – further reading lists will be available soon and you can always click here for a back catalogue of recommended books.
Also remember you can also follow the wonderful @lordcoopy on twitter for DB Art updates, insider info and nice pictures – otherwise you can follow @phillisdorris for further reading, stuff and a nice helping of sillyness.
I am getting the 'tricks of the mind' book 😀 hopefully soon…
:> cool
The category links in the Recommended Reading post (friends of, recommended reading, etc) Aren't working, at least in Firefox.
Message from Abeo: Can you be more specific? Which exact link clicked on which page?
oh dear phillis there's just no telling some ppl is there! I think we're just all desperate for some of your more indepth reviews. 😉
I've just ordered Derren's very own "Tricks of the Mind". Hopefully should be here tomorrow. I can't wait.
I have just finished Tricks of the Mind and it was so good I turned back to the beginning and started again. It is one of the most thought provoking books I have read . . . and that is saying something.
Abeo: Same here, in firefox and chrome, nothing shown just the titles: Sreenshot: http://img515.imageshack.us/i/recommendedreadingderre.png/
Msg from Abeo: Hmm interesting, I'd try emptying your cache and reloading the page. Just tried it in all 4 main browsers (IE/Chrome/Safari/Firefox – default settings) and it shows in each of them for me. You could have a setting or plugin on that's blocking it. It's code provided by amazon to show the following click here
Does that show for you?
EDIT: I've just tested this in Firefox with ad blocked turned on and it makes them all disappear. – I'll add some standard links to the page for people using plugins that are blocking them. Thanks all
When is Derren going to activate his pineal gland?
Hi, I just wanted to contribute something, But have nothing to contribute, I'll return if and when I do
Well, have read everything of Derren's (no, tell a lie, am still in the midst of Absolute Magic) and I can't recommend them enough, esp Tricks of the Mind which I thought was a blinding read. Indeed I suggested it to a friend in America who has since bought it (and who I've now converted into a big Derren fan! :))
LC x
it seems that tricks of the mind is very popular.well i got mine a few days ago, and i haven't put it down since.i'm reviewing it for English speaking. don't worry Derren, only good reviews for you =)
also, i probably have the only copy in Malta, which is being lent to about 4 of my friends and my English teacher. Malta now has heard of the great Derren Brown
I'd like to recommend the biography "The Secret Life of Houdini" by William Kalush & Larry Sloman, 590 pages,
This is a very detailed biography of Houdini and decribes his incredible focus to his stunts and showmanship. The efforts and energy that Houdini goes to is mirrored today by DB in order to perfect a stunt or act and perform for the stage and home audience.
The book goes on to detail Houdinis almost obsessive near-crusade against the spiritualist of the time which he debunks as fraudsters and con merchants (another similarity with DB).
It's well worth reading if you enjoyed DBs Seance perfomance or Messiah.
Ok the pages should be fixed now for anyone that was having issues
I am about half way through Tricks of the Mind I think its brilliant and would definatley recommend it, I am going to get my father in law to read it as he is studying to become a psychologist or pyschiatrist cant remember which i want to know what he thinks.. Brilliant book, thank you for giving us the pleasure Derren x
Hi Phillis – I think I might just have clocked you. Anyone who really identified with their name wouldn't spell it differently on Facebook and Twitter! The wig is a marevellous flourish, I love it!
I think we might need to contemplate the real identity of Phillis Dorris.
Now – the question is, are you going to let my comment through and alert the other posters, or moderate it and confirm my suspicion?
– I am – I'll also draw you to my dyslexia which I'm sure most of you are aware of. – Phillis
I think people would learn more about what you do if you point them in the direction of Banachek or Kenton Knepper etc… Derren.
If people are more interested in the nitty gritty technical side of "mentalism", they should look in to Tony Corinda's "13 Steps to Mentalism". It's a pretty good catalogue and primer on the tricks of the trade that both gypsies and magicians have used for centuries. Don't expect to pick it up and become an instant Derren clone. DB does a great job of mixing in skills from other fields (notably hypnotism, theatrical pick-pocketing and escapology), his own semi-biographical patter, his own gimmicks etc. Take it as a textbook on very solid ways you can achieve similar effects and start to build your own performances or perhaps as a shopping list of common things to look out for when debunking would-be mindreaders.
I'm dyslexic.. Derren's techiques for memory help a great deal!
Lots of good books on there. Bought a few lately. Good variety of subject matter. Worth a butchers.
I'm terribly sorry Phillis, I didn't take your dyslexia into account. I apologise unreservedly.
– neither do I – it's no excuse, people like me shouldn't be allowed on the internet. – Phillis
I work in a large reference library and in a flagrant abuse of power I've just nabbed half of these books from the stacks. Perks of the job etc…. I will give them back of course! x
I've just finished reading a fantastic book by Prof. Stanley Feldman and Prof. Vincent Marks called "Global Warming and Other Bollocks">Global Warming and other Boll*cks"… sans asterisk. It covers a few science scare stories, and is a great example of how easily people can be influenced.
@lucepuss – Bet you'll be late back with them too!
@codifier – Phillis does seem to have Derren's tone of voice at times…
@codifier – and Abeo's. And Coops's..?
What no Persuasion Engineering or Frogs Into Prices?
And also, a note to everyone. Irrationality is one the finest intellectual self help books there is. A must read before you read anything else. Allows you to see things a lot more, well, rationally.
@JayKay – I'm starting to think Brown Towers might be staffed by highly intelligent mice who are secretly performing behavioural experiments on us.
@codifier – oh that's a given! We are being assessed alright. But I don't mind, do you?
Its a great book lots of little tricks and treats, great stories and genuinely amusing. Its helped me in my line of work, getting gigs has become very interesting.
It seems very interesting. I'll definitely read this.
Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to say good job. I really enjoy reading your posts and comments.
Any recommendations for accelerated learning? I see specific recommendations for memory techniques (which never fail to impress me) but I'm wondering if there is anything that I can put into practice while going to college?
"13 steps to mentalism" by Corinda is a very nice reference point for budding "mentalists", just bought it and is still a classic.
Excellent choice of social psy books if I may say so! (only missing Dan Gilberts stumbling upon happiness)
I was wondering though, is there any popular-scientific stuff on hypnothesis? I can only find books that teach you how to do it and I don't want to learn it, I just want to learn about it.
Am close to finishing Tricks of the Mind and I just wanted to write and say what a fantastic read it has been – having difficulty putting it down. I must say I am particularly taken with the chapter on science – it makes me want to scream a loud 'Hurrah!' -well done Sir, thank you.
I also have to say that I thought the Shawshank Redemption was dreadful too!
Honestly, I am speechless. The Shawshank Redemption is remarkable. I'am quite young movie fan, actually, this film is realised whenI was very young, and hence I'am to a greater extent accustomed movies with incredible special effects, edge-of-your-seat action, et cetera. This film has none of that, and however, it attracts me really much . The way Frank Darabont uses the story of Red to drive on the story, the excellent the soundtrack used (note the harmonica used merely before Red receiving the letter close to the end). The entire film, from start to finish, from actions to music, is a lighthouse of hope, assessment, and redemption. The cast is perfect, Morgan Freeman(Red) actually brings about a refreshing feel to the tale, and that's precisely what the movie is, what a film should be. Highly recommended for each viewer.

Im a girl in a guys body. Yes I have a brain of a girl but the body of a man....I want a sex change
I used to think I was gay. I went to gay bars and made out with strangers. Once, things got a little more serious and I realised it wasn't for me.
I then went through a phase of being rather promiscuous with girls.Eventually, intimacy lost its meaning and became hallow and trivial. I now try to divide my lifestyle between the pursuit of knowledge and the creation/appreciation of beauty the best I can. These aren't secrets though, it's just information about me. You have to try all the flavours of ice-cream before you know which is your favourite.
Why is the brain of a girl funny Dancer?And i have tried all the flavours
I wasn't giving you personal advice with the ice-cream thing. It was a conclusion to my post.
I'm not sure why it is funny, it just tickles my funny bone. I'm not laughing at you.
I was joking with the ice cream partand for the funny i wanted to know thats all
Your sense of humour is unrefined. LIKE A WOMAN!
Roflmao!O0o0o0o0o0o0oo be my freeiiinnd!
I actually don't mind My Chemical Romance.

The Little Details
Running Time: 145 min.
Production Date: 7 / 30 / 2007
Director: Bonnie Clyde
Cast: Claire LaFemmeDC, Mae Victoria, Penny Porsche, Selena Steele, Vanessa Videl, Dave Hardman, Jenner, Nick East, and Rick Masters
The Short Story
Initial Expectations: I don't know why, but there's nothing about this one to make me expect too much even though I recognize several of the girls normally being worth checking out.
Initial Reaction: It's a poor idea that only gets worse as it goes on.
Who Should Watch It : Extreme fans of the cast
Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a well done MILF release.
The Technical Stuff
Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio is clear and well balanced, and I didn't notice any background noises. The video is presented in the full frame format and looks pretty good. There's quite a bit of deliberate camera motion, but the picture is clear and well lit.
Music: None
Disc Complaints: There's no time stamp to the release, which makes navigating the DVD a little more difficult. There are plenty of chapter breaks, which helps things out, but those wanting to jump to a specific place in the movie aren't going to be able to do so.
Menus: The main menu is less than impressive, and just gives the cover still with a clip from the movie that looks like it's aspect ratio has been changed. The chapter menu shows just as little care, and lets you choose a scene based on a clip from each scene and a scene number.
The FeatureMILF Filth 2 goes as generic as it can with the format while adding a little twist. Each scene starts out with a MILF talking to the camera and masturbating before getting it on with a guy as they continue to mug the camera and put out attitude.
|Scene 1 � Claire LaFemmeDC and Dave Hardman
Finnish bottle blonde Claire starts out playing with her pussy and big tits as well as showing off her ass as she talks about all of the sex they have back in Scandinavia. Dave moves in to fuck her face and her tits after a bit and them moves down to fuck her pussy missionary style. Claire sucks him clean before riding him in each of the cowgirls, and then lets him move his cock to her ass as she rides him cowgirl style. Dave picks Claire up and lays her back down to spear her shitpussy missionary style, and then spoons each of her holes while looking like he's having some wood problems. She gives up plenty of ass doggie style, and takes a nice taste of her ass from his cock before getting up for the reverse cowgirl anal. Finally, Claire gets down for a decent facial before running off at the mouth to the camera a little more.
This is an okay at best scene. Claire definitely puts out plenty of energy and vocals, but she also overdoes it quite a bit and makes it never seem quite natural. Dave looking like he was having some wood problems in the middle of the scene didn't help much, and the camera work seemed to have a little too much motion for my tastes. This isn't a bad scene, but it never hit me as feeling too natural and seemed a little too generic at times as well.
|Scene 2 � Selena Steele and Dave Hardman
Brunette Selena starts out in a pink bra and black and pink panties talking about how now that she's a mature woman she knows just what she wants and it's why her boyfriends keep calling her. She plays with her hairy pussy (at least on top) while talking dirty to �you� before Dave comes in with a hard cock for her to suck while she continues to play with her pussy. Selena bends over for Dave to tongue her holes before fucking her doggie style, and then lets her get on top for a reverse cowgirl ride as Selena continues to mouth off. She rides him reverse cowgirl style, lets him spoon her, sucks him, and lays back for a bit of missionary work. Selena conveniently squirts after an editing cut before Dave fucks her tits and shoots a below average load over her shoulder.
This scene doesn't even made it to the average mark. Selena and Dave's chemistry hovers around the average mark, but her constant mouthing off to the camera really held the scene back and gave the scene a very inconsistent and odd feeling. The camera work is okay, but once again had a touch of motion to it that seemed more like it felt it had to stay in motion to catch everything rather than being able to find a good camera angle that would do so without the motion. This scene leaves a bit to be desired.
|Scene 3 � Mae Victoria and Jenner
Redhead Mae talks about how she thinks guys around thirty are the perfect age as she shows off in a sexy animal print brown bra and panties and plays with herself a bit. Jenner moves in to grope her tits and play with her pussy before Mae sucks his cock in return. Mae mugs the camera and lets Jenner play with her holes as she sucks him before climbing up to ride him cowgirl style. She mixes in plenty more head and lets Jenner play with her pussy a little as they fuck in reverse cowgirl, doggie, and missionary, and even squirts after a quick editing cut. Jenner moves in to eat Mae's holes after she squirts, and then fucks her a bit more before letting go with his squirt over her hairy pussy as well as letting a little go in her pussy.
This is a surprisingly okay scene. Mae plays to the camera a little less than the other girls, which definitely helped, and also had an extra twinkle in her eye through most of the sex making it look like she was enjoying herself much more than the others. She and Jenner have a lot better chemistry than comes out in the other scenes, and there's still plenty of vocals, energy, and motion from the camera. This scene actually makes it past the average mark, and comes out as the best in the movie because it's the only one to do so.
|Scene 4 � Vanessa Videl and Nick East
Forty four year old brunette Vanessa starts out in a pink corset laughably talking about how hot and horny she is, as well as how much she likes to get fucked, while showing off for the camera. She plays with her pussy before an extremely sleazy looking Nick arrives to start eating her pussy. He moves on to fuck Vanessa missionary style and lets her suck his cock and balls before she gets up to ride him reverse cowgirl style. Vanessa gives him a bit more head before letting him fuck her doggie style and spooning her, and she lets go with a big editing cut squirt after the go back to fucking missionary style. Finally Nick fucks her tits and lets go with a decent load in Vanessa's mouth as she gives a disgusted look and then says how much she loves it.
When the girl on screen says something like �Do you want to see my tits? Of course, you do!� I don't think you're supposed to be thinking �Well, no, not really�. Sadly, that's how Vanessa's scene started for me. Her trying to make her generic lines sexy came off as being laughably bad, and added on top of how bad the overacting was earlier in the movie I couldn't help but give the scene an awful groan before Nick even moved in to eat her pussy. Vanessa does put out some nice energy, but her overacting and vocals are so laughably bad that I couldn't help but be happy that I had a remote handy. This scene doesn't get close to the average mark and makes me want to avoid Vanessa Videl in the future as well.
|Scene 5 � Penny Porsche and Rick Masters
Bottle blonde Penny starts out in pink and baby blue lingerie talking about how she loves being a MILF with big titties as well as all the young cock she gets. Penny squeezes out a little milk as she sucks her tits and plays with her pussy before Rick moves in to eat her pussy. She sucks his cock in return before riding him reverse cowgirl style and turns around to ride him cowgirl style before letting him fuck her doggie style. They also spoon before Rick fucks Penny's tits and pops on them.
This is another dud of a scene. Penny has a very nice body for her age and gave a feeling that she does like sex. That said, most of her emotion her showed about the same about of positive emotion as somebody who just found out they were going to be audited by the IRS. She puts out nice energy and the scene is captured pretty good, but the continued over the top vocals and dead chemistry never let this scene get to the average mark. There's something about Penny that gave me a feeling that she has very good potential, but she didn't show much of it here.
MILF Filth 2 is a dud of a MILF release. There's some decent MILFs here, but most of the problem is in the format of the movie and the camera work. The camera work is a simpler problem, as it seems to have the opinion that it should always be on the move and continually left me feeling it would slow down. The overall format is a much bigger problem. I love aggressive older women, but here what seems like it's supposed to be aggression often comes off as bitchiness instead and combining it with continual camera mugging only made it all the more annoying. Mae Victoria did turn out a pretty good scene, but every other scene here left me underwhelmed and annoyed. MILF Filth 2 leaves plenty to be desired and can easily be passed by.
The Extra StuffNothing. Not even a photo gallery, web link, or most surprising of all with this being a Hustler release, a commercial.
The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff
Themes: Straight, masturbation, tease, titty fucking, anal, ass to mouth, rimming (male > female), squirting, and lactation
Raincoat Factor: High
Condom Usage: None
The Bottom Line:Currently, many of LFP / Hustler�s DVDs can be found online for between about $16 and $25 with stores offering it everywhere in between. Rent this one first if you absolutely have to see it. The scenes are annoying and filled with horrible camera mugging and a lack of chemistry. The technical aspects show a touch of effort, but the extras are completely nonexistent. This release is nearly a complete waste of time.
Note to Bonnie Clyde / LFP: I can't help but wonder if somebody at LFP lost a poker game to Bonnie Clyde to get this one released...

ComplianceNet eLearning: Competition & Consumer Law, Privacy, Anti Discrimination (EEO) and Work, Health & Safety
ComplianceNet: Online Compliance Training "An excellent eLearning product. The service provided and the attention given to building a relationship beyond simple customisation and implementation was exemplary. No request was too difficult, particularly when faced with integration related challenges at our end." -- John Pane, Chief Privacy Officer, Australia Post
ComplianceNet – The Smart Way to Train Your Employees
Whether it's business conduct as covered by the Competition and Consumer Act, Privacy or Work, Health and Safety concerns, or Workplace Behaviour issues you need to ensure that your people understand the principles and can apply that knowledge effectively.
ComplianceNet offers you a comprehensive selection of online training courses, each designed to assist with compliance in one particular area of law where significant risks are likely to arise.About ComplianceNet Programs
About ComplianceNet Programs
Competition and Consumer Law
Compliance with the Competition and Consumer Act is critical for every business.
With millions of dollars in penalties often imposed for breaches, knowledge of the key principles underlying Competition and Consumer Laws is essential for almost every employee.
Our Competition and Consumer Law program has been designed to enhance employee skills and protect your organisation against legal risk.
Program Topics include:
- Price Fixing
- Group Boycotts
- AntiCompetitive Agreements
- Misuse of Market Power
- Exclusive Dealing
- Third Line Forcing
- Resale Price Maintenance
- Misleading or Deceptive Conduct
- Misleading Advertising
- Implied Terms
- Product Liability
- Unconscionable Conduct
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- Codes of Conduct
- Dealing with the ACCC
- Document Control
The privacy laws protect individuals from unwanted intrusion into their private lives and guarantee fair dealing with their personal information. Failing to handle and control personal information properly is not only a breach Australia's privacy laws but also of customer trust.
It is essential that all employees dealing with personal information understand there are severe penalties for breaching privacy laws especially those relating to telecommunications and credit reporting, which in some cases can be imposed on both organisation and employee.
Program topics include keeping and using employee records, the transfer of personal information to related companies and use of customer information within a company. The program has optional modules covering health records, consumer credit information and telecommunications.
Anti-Discrimination (EEO)
Australian law prohibits discrimination based on attributes such as race, gender, age, disability and more.
This training program explains how these laws impact on all employees, and tells them what they have to do, or avoid doing, at work. The program sets out what the laws say in a straightforward way, and with lots of examples to demonstrate how they apply in practice.
Work, Health & Safety
A safe workplace can't just be taken for granted. This is something that takes a lot of hard work and commitment. This program has been designed to help all people at the workplace including employees, employers, contractors and visitors understand the importance of acting in a responsible way.
NetControl (Internet & email usage)
Use of the Internet and email can present problems for any business. Employees need to know how to avoid legal issues such as defamation, breaches of privacy and accessing illegal content.
Smart Contracting
Contracts are the fundamental basis of most business relationships. Every day, in every organisation, contracts are made by email, fax, letter and conversation – and not only by the legal department.
Managing the contracting process is an essential business precaution. If all the implications (and limitations) of a contract are understood by everyone involved business is more efficient, less complicated and less risky!

Being charged with a crime can be a terrifying prospect. The possibility of being sent to jail or prison is a daunting experience. You may have no idea what to expect, and often you may feel that no one is on your side. In circumstances like these, it is crucial that you be represented by an experienced, aggressive and determined Atlanta criminal attorney.
In choosing which Atlanta criminal lawyer to trust to handle your situation, you should consider two things: the attorney's knowledge and experience, and the attorney's reputation among judges and prosecutors.
Why is an attorney's reputation with judges and prosecutors important? There are many so-called criminal defense attorneys who make their living taking in as many cases as they can and pleading as many of those cases as fast as they can. These attorneys have not taken a case to trial in a very long time. Prosecutors know who these attorneys are. Which means that if you do not go to court with an attorney who has a reputation for providing the highest possible level of representation, prosecutors have no incentive to take a long hard look at your case and negotiate in good faith with the defense attorney.
When your liberty is at stake, you need an aggressive, experienced and reputable criminal lawyer. Call us for a free consultation today.

This time of year can be tough for a student—especially a busy, working student who spends so much of the day cooped up at work and just wants to get outside and play. So when the work day ends, how do you fight the urge to skip the schoolwork? Here are six tips that might help. Let us know in the comments if you have other ideas.
After several attempts at a college degree, Salt Lake City resident Zachary Cummings discovered that brick-and-mortar schools did not fit his learning style.

I mocked yesterday's NFP report, and a sizably stunning percentage of readers didn't get the humor (and on a day off, too). My assumption is that these are people who are unfamiliar with my slightly skewed sense of humor.
To contextualize that, a few more words are in order, and then a nod to another voice on NFP worth hearing.
Let's begin with a quick word on cognitive bias. Humans are guilty of this — selectively perceiving and recalling what agrees with their world view. We are all guilty of this, and while we cannot escape it, being aware of it at least allows some measure of recognition, and perhaps, adaptation to the phenomena.
Let's use the NFP data as an example: Consider another bias, the Human tendency to overemphasize more recent data versus the totality of information and the overall trend. This is a cognitive bias known as the recency effect. Despite the overwhelming evidence showing this to be a generally weak jobs recovery (the worst since WWII), our primate brains interpret a single good data point as proof of something better. Perhaps this helped our ancestors recognize the coming of seasonal changes; those with the bias mated in the spring and passed on their genes, and those without didn't (hence no progeny). Alex, I'll take Pop-Evolutionary theories for $100, please.
Regardless, we also see some of the soft prejudice of low expectations in yesterday's data: 180k is hardly a rockin' strong number, relative to population growth,. Put that into the context of recent expansions such as the 1990s. Oh, and in that more recent period, there was no BLS Birth/Death adjustment, responsible for nearly a million fictitious jobs in 2006.
For those of you who may have missed my sarcasm, consider the Liscio Reports' irony-free take on yesterday's NFP. Here's an excerpt via Barron's:
"As our keen-eyed friends at the Liscio Report, Philippa Dunne and Doug Henwood, observe, this was a "good employment report but not the blowout some are taking it for." For openers, the perceptive pair surmise that just as February's stingy job additions were partially the result of cruddy weather, March's upside surprise got "a compensatory meteorological lift."
The rise, however, was concentrated in a relatively few sectors. Once again, they note, health care and bars and restaurants were major sources of fresh hiring (and once again, we might interject, these are typically not big-bucks jobs). Retail did pick up nicely, to be sure, but manufacturing, alas, couldn't kick the habit of shedding jobs.
Ominously, too, Philippa and Doug point out, professional and business services, "the heart of the post-industrial economy" was a loser, its first decline since November '04. And temp employment made it two months in a row on the minus side, indicating "not a lot of pent-up hiring demand for future months."
And they add that the household total, in which desperate bulls invariably seek solace when the payroll numbers are soft, was up 420,000, but only after an extraordinarily depressed February, which suffered a loss of 278,000 slots. That works out to a pretty feeble average over the past two months of 71,000, hardly suggestive of "underlying strength that the establishment survey is missing."
As we intimated, at first blush investors are likely to find the apparent strength of the job market as discouraging any thought the Fed might have entertained to cut rates in order to shore up the economy. But we suspect that, to judge by the abundant evidence that the economy is slowing and will continue to do so as the collapse in housing plays out and the consumer's urge and ability to spend fade, there'll be more than one disappointing employment report in the months to come." (emphasis added)
That sounds about right, and — dare I say it? — fair and balanced . . .

With a slowing economy, tightening lending standards, and a negative savings rate, it is rather fanciful to believe the birth/death model created 128,000 jobs – in fact, I would say beyond fanciful thinking and into full blown fantasy, which oddly enough is the same locale in which resides Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Unemployment falls to a five-year low, and it's reported as another sign of the coming apocalypse.
Fair and balanced? Or just a prominent bear trying to rationalize away good news?
I report, you decide.
Here's hoping this shameless violation of the trademarks of News Corporation goes unnoticed this holiday weekend.
Just speaking out of my pen, I thought that we had enjoyed a rousing housing/mortgage growth spurt that had been touted by market fans as rational, unstoppable proof and explanation for the health of the economy and the performance of stocks with nary a sign of any kind of bubble attributes, well, until the bubble popped, that is. Just hypothetically, say the housing/mortgage locomotive were to slow down ever so slightly, what exactly would be stepping in at the moment to sooth the bruise? If I heard it right, housing is an immense force in the U.S. economy and, if I'm thinking straight, most forces can exert pressure, alternatively, up and down. Just for discussion, what would be the countervailing force to a reduced housing market? For the economy? For jobs?
Would it not make at least some sense that job growth may slow in the coming months, if the housing/mortgage businesses were to slow a tad?
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Citigroup Inc. (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the largest U.S. bank and one of the largest U.S. mortgage lenders, is telling brokers that on Monday it will stop making some riskier home loans, documents obtained by Reuters show.
The move follows decisions by Countrywide Financial Corp. (CFC.N: Quote, Profile, Research), Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and other major mortgage lenders to tighten their underwriting standards as homeowner delinquencies and defaults increase…
CitiMortgage made $50.6 billion of loans between October and December, ranking third in the United States, according to National Mortgage News…
Yea, everything is going to be just fine.
"prominent bear"?
I'll let Barry respond if he chooses, but I'd consider him more of a nuanced realist.
As he's posted ad nauseum…forecasting has its limits and subject for appropriate modification given appropriate new information.
First, I enjoyed your humor yesterday, as I usually enjoy your postings. You produce a great blog! Some people are just literal, like focusing on the most recent data point without the longer view.
Based on a straightforward empirical index, the expected average jobs number for March is 186,000. Obviously, 180K is close to that average number. A strong showing, however, would be more like 270,000 jobs. I don't mean this comment to be partisan — it is a ratio I have at hand — but the 270K figure is based on the longterm Democratic average (from Jan1949 through Dec2000).
A description of this index with charts will be posted Monday on Angry Bear.
Well, if u think March's B/D model was large, wait until April's. (according to Crudele)
Does this mean 10 Yr T yields continue to rise for another month?
The Recency Effect. That is good to know. We see it in spades with regards to Global Warming but the Believers take it one step further. For when instead of a Recency Effect of heating it gets really cold (like now) the GW folks consider that to actually be a Recency Effect as 'it shows the turbulence' of the real Global Warming.
I am in the midst of a search for a new job (although I am currenly employed). The number of phone calls and interviews I have to chose from is enormous. Recruiters are saying they haven't seen the job market this good since '92. While I am in a hot occupation (Accounting/Finance), this must bode well for the economy. I don't think all the new jobs are burger flippers and candy strippers as this blog would lead you to believe. I know I won't be getting paid minimum wage at my new gig.
Jdamon – The NAR says this is the best time ever to buy a house. The point being that the recruiters want you to change jobs so they will say what they said. You are in a hot field thanks to accounting issues and regulation turmoils. Go try for a job in housing or manufacturing (had been the best paying blue collar jobs in the world at one time).

"Good but not a blowout" sounds just about right. The birth/death adjustment is a necessary part of the estimation process. If you have a methodological criticism, make it, but simply repeating that it's "fiction" doesn't advance the discussion. BLS statisticians may not make the big bucks, but they're not picking numbers out of the air, either.
As for the "hottest job market since '92," recruiters are lying to you. The late-'90s job markets were much, much tighter, and 1992 was not tight but loose. That was in fact the worst job market the US has seen since the 1980s, worse even than the 2002 trough. Here, look at the employment-population ratio (PNG). Yes, we've been headed up in a nice, little jobs recovery since the last recession; no, the job market is not historically tight, and hell, no, 1992 was not a good job market.
Quote Rick Hanley: "Would it not make at least some sense that job growth may slow in the coming months, if the housing/mortgage businesses were to slow a tad?"
One would think. Regardless of the current labor numbers, you have hit upon the crux of the economy – debt creation.
Big Ben understood this when he talked about credit availability as being a key concern going forward.
And why would that be? Consider this exchange: From Hari Heath of the Idaho Observer.
"Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Marriner Eccles testified before the House Banking and Currency Committee September 30, 1941. He was asked by Congressman Patman, "Mr. Eccles, how did you get the money to buy those two billions of government securities?" Eccles replied, "We created it."
Patman asked, "out of what?" Eccles answered, "out of the right to issue credit-money." Patman then asked, "And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our government's credit?" Eccles responded, "That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money."
And this from the same source: "Robert Hemphill, a credit manager of the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta, described the situation in the foreword to Irving Fisher's book, 100% Money: "If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash, or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money, we are prosperous; if not, we starve."
Some bullet points from the same article:
* Consumer Debt exceeds the National Debt.
*The typical family spends more than 90 percent of its disposable income servicing debt.
*40 percent of American families annually spend more than they earn.
*About 60 percent of active credit card accounts are not paid off monthly.
*Average card debt among people who have at least one card is $9,205 — triple what it was in 1990.
*The average interest rate on credit cards is 18.9 percent.
Tightened lending standards – a money squeeze – that would be the killer.
Let's face it you were wrong…
It happens..
Does that mean you change your mind?
If nothing will change your mind, i.e., your prior is zero.. that's religion… no learning..
But any rational person, should be less sure of what he thought before this number than after.. no matter what…
That's already translated into most "bears" on the economy pushing back their "certainty" that the FED was going to EASE.. to September or later..
The market in general is now pricing 80% probability that the FED is on hold for most of 2007!
Wittgenstein said that: Certainty is just the inability to imagine the alternative…
There is no way these jobs numbers are not bogus at this stage, what a travesty. What's amazing to me is how they are being discussed as real. Just taking the 3.3 million people (including contractors) who work in residential construction alone we can see that housing completions between Sept-Feb are already down 18.4% and sinking fast.
That's over 600,000 jobs.
Even if much of this represents reduced work for contractors rather than actual full job loss, the effect is the same. To think the job market added 54,000 construction jobs in March is patently absurd.
I have gone through and posted about 40 recent news reports in the comment section here to illustrate this. Incidentially Federal and state WARN laws exempt construction layoffs making this a tough one for the canards putting the data out to track in a timely manner.
I argue that the jobs report underestimates the strength of the economy, and has been for some time. The internet has allowed many more people to become self employed. Think of all of the online p0ker players, stock daytraders, Nigerian 419 type scammers, adult entertainers, and countless others, who make their living uncounted by the BLS. The underground economy is bigger than ever.
Post by fat mary : reticular activation system
Does that suggest contagion or over complication?
Is your spamdex too tight?
Fair may be, but not balanced.
The housing drama is being massively exagerated, in another example of recency effect.
First, a 5% recent fall overshadows the 100% rise in the preceding years.
and then, the moderate reduction in economic growth is predicated to be a recession.
Come on!
May a recession come? Yes, and also it may NOT come.
Are the current labor market evidences forecasting a recession?
Absolutely not.
How many recessions have you predicted, you know, before we were already there?
It is something that, at best, one can take a shot at reasonning out as being increasingly likely based on a large multitude of factors.
If China dies and makes us the heir to their trillion dollars of currency reserves, we will be alright. Well, being that we are party animals, most of us probably won't live long but the economy will be cherry.
On the other hand, things are not so good when looking at numerous metrics as they used to be. If you will allow that at some point there will be another recession, it may be true that we are a little closer to the next one than we were 4 years ago.
Nova Law-
Are you the same Nova Law that posted rants on Bill Cara's site threatening lawsuits and such against him? Are we over the blogger as guru-God thing yet?
Don't be so hard on Nova Law. A guy (assumption) who goes around posting snarky, insulting comments on blogboards obviously has a lot of personal problems. He is what mental health professionals describe as a "clinical a-hole."
Have some sympathy for the guy (assumption.) If any posters here have experience in psychotherapy and proctology, it might be helpful to drop Nova a line and offer your assistance. I'm sure it would be much appreciated.
Although I got your sarcasm on Friday, this is a much better post Barry. It puts you squarely in the realist camp, whereas I thought most of last week was regurgitated financial armeggedon hype.
The employment numbers are important because so many market participants count on them for information. However, it seems quite obvious that so many of the government stats created in the first half of the 20th century miss alot of what happens in today's economy. Barry hit on this with a post last week about the detail in the jobs gains by company size. So much is happening in the smallest companies that cannot possibly be discovered by the bean counters.
We keep bleeding manufacturing jobs, yet manufacturing output, according to Big Ben and Co., is the greatest ever. So are the falling manufacturing jobs a sign of coming doom, or booming productivity?
My 2cents is that the economy is clearly slowing but the perma-bears are like the doctor who smokes: smart enough to know better but too intellectually lazy to think things through.

"Fictitious Capital, Real Retrogression"
"Interview with independent writer and activist, Loren Goldner. Loren Goldner is author of numerous articles on political economy including "International Liquidity Crisis and Class Struggle"; "The Dollar Crisis and Us"; "1973 Redux: Continuity and Discontinuity in the Decline of Dollar-Centered World Accumulation"; "Two Short Texts on Economic Crisis and War"; and "Fictitious Capital and the Transition Out of Capitalism", among many other essays."
Rick Hanley:
I am not in the bussiness of predicing recessions, and I dont believe either that the US economy has abolished cycles.
The present slowdown is being overplayed, though. It may get worse, but the hard evidence until now does not show the GDP as going to contract any time soon.
Final demand is still growing at 2+% pa, real, liquidity abounds, and any reduction in final demand, if t ever happens, will fall more on imports than on US GDP.
Doom may -will- eventually arrive; but not so fast. Not before UST 10Y rates rise significantly. IMVHO.
I have NEVER seen as many "Help Wanted" signs as I do now. Granted, I live in "oil country", a bit north of Houston, but the economy here is EXPLODING.
And there are tons and tons of illegal immigrants here, as well.
Anybody who bases economic forecasts on jobs numbers is going to be wrong more often than not.
Barry, seriously, you need to take a step back and objectively analyze why you have gotten the economy so wrong for so long.
It appears that your inner Democrat is overwhelming your inner investment professional. Do you still post frequently on Eric Alterman's blog? I recommend staying away from hysterical, Bush-hating liberals. They have very little to offer those of us who are interested in getting an accurate picture of where our economy is going.
BR: Dogstar — I have gotten the economy pretty dead on — more accurate than most economists.
If you want to disagree with my economic view based on 1) hiring in Houston's Oil industry or b) one months NFP — feel free to.
Is that why the blogging community is so unreasonably bearish on the economy? Because everyone hates Bush so much? It'll be interesting to see if this persists when Hillary wins in '08.

Finance is supposed to grease the wheel. When it becomes the wheel you've got to ask yourself some questions.
Talk about "recency bias". It's obvious too many economic bulls are projecting current circumstances well into the future. Look how well that worked for all the housing bulls.

"I have gotten the economy pretty dead on — more accurate than most economists."
Respectfully disagree Barry. You've been calling for earnings collapse and recession for quite a while now. How many time have you posted the phrase, Hard Landing?!!
BR: 28% Year-over-year S&P500 earnings, down to 8.9% in Q4 2006 and falling. The consensus forecast for Q1 is 3 – 6%
The phrase "hard landing" appears 107 times, including by poster in comments. (That's what the Google search feature is for at right — do you want me to chew your food for you also?)
MarkM – It's a Cara lie that I've threatened him with a lawsuit. All I did was suggest that he was putting himself at risk of being sued by his disappointed investors by giving out bad stock advice and resolutely failing to disclose his personal positions behind those recommendations.
If you think there's no risk in things like that, ask Joe Nacchio what he thinks.
BR: Hence, my disclosure statement
"Recency effect" as it has been referred to here, is actually "anticipitory generalization", a strong instinct related to hunter/gatherers of the animal kingdom and the basis for learning. An example might be animals frequenting locations where they were previously successful (IE: have *learned* where food is likely to be.
This is why doggie treats work and traders continue to trade. The upside, the reward.
This response is so reliable that it can be used to train almost any animal that can perceive a positive stimulus. Like dogs or traders.
And this positive reinforcement is 60% more powerful than a negative reinforcement which is why we see the explosion of positive training in dogs (see clicker training, positive reinforcement, conditioned response, B.F. Skinner)and day traders.
Animals capable of defense will defend their source of reinforcement (mainly food, but sex, drugs, power and money work in studies) and attack those that might offer *reason* that endangers their possible reward, real or perceived.
So now we have an idea of motivation to attack Barry and to remain the same.
IE: Reject change.
1. Instinct to repeat previously successful methods.
2. Defense of said source of positive reinforcement. Read profits.
This explains why some are so defensive of their positions. Barry's view threatens their cookie treats.
To explain Barry's motivation isn't as easy because reward isn't present. There is no reward in offering a perceived negative, which some of you so handily prove. He doesn't reveal all his positions or talk his book. No, it's just the desire to provide real information on his blog to those who care to listen.
Barry cares, which of course cannot go unpunished, so he also is forced to endure stupid animal territoriality and greed masquerading as political stupidity as well. Oh goody.
Bummer when those who accuse Barry actually reveal their on motivations (and his) and remind us of the old addage, "You judge others by your own morals". Or in this case, your primitive instincts.
All cavemen step forward.
I think some confuse blogging and informing with advising.
Even if you are paying for market information or analysis, it is rarely presented as advice and almost always contains a disclaimer making the investor responsible for their investment choices.
This blog and others like it (Bill Cara) don't offer investing advice. They may offer actionable information but it is your responsibility if you choose to act on it.
It isn't investing advice.
The NFP didn't adjust to the extra hour, their data is worthless untill they do.
Jdamon: Some job markets, and based on anecdotes I'm concluding most requiring professional degrees, are artificially tight as companies restrict themselves to hiring only "heavy hitters" with specific skill profiles and specific industry experience, and of course a flawless employment history. Most of the people matching this have reasonably secure jobs, or have high standards for a job too, which is why filling those positions is so tough. It's not necessarily that there are *that* many new jobs, although there has probably been a spike in finance due to SOX and similar new regulations. By what I have seen (not precisely in finance), many professional positions where (highly experienced) people are "desperately" sought (but at medium-market range and with some lowballing) can be explained by attrition. But "mysteriously" companies are very reluctant to raise comp or consider merely generally capable people who may have to be trained up a bit.
Hot Air Balloon Theory of Economics
The housing bubble and home equity withdrawl were two very large jets that have injected a lot of hot air into the economy – enough in fact to keep the balloon on an upward trajectory inspite of trade balance "rips" and consumer debt obligation "tears".
While these jets are now turned off, their intense heat is continuing to spread inside the balloon and it still rises, but at a slower rate of ascent.
The rips and tears in the balloon are too big to sew up in time to keep the hot air in.
Without new sources of hot air, the balloon will cool and begin to descend.
In my opinion, the current general expansion of the economy can be attributed to the housing and home equity bubbles. This is masking the extent to which the economic fundamentals have been deteriorating. Without new sources of fuel, the balloon will begin to fall.
Will the Federal Reserve lower interest rates soon enough to ignite more fuel before the balloon falls too far? When the Fed does lower interest rates, what fuel will it ignite?
I am having a hard time identifying what these fuel sources will be. Exports maybe? Will this be enough?
After reviewing some of your posts on this topic, I concede that in none did you threaten to sue him. You invited others to do so. I stand corrected.
"shameless violation of the trademarks of News Corporation"
And to think I thought Bill O'Liar lost that case.
"The internet has allowed many more people to become self employed."
More of Dick Cheney and the E-Bay entrepreneurs. You should have included the half million real estate agents in California also.
MarkM, are you taking prevarication lessons from your buddy Bill Cara? What I said was precisely this:
"Cara should be ashamed of himself for causing innocent people to lose money by pumping up KRY. Perhaps someone will be angry enough to file a civil action against him. Given his consistent lack of disclosure and dubious reliability, such a case would be an interesting landmark."
Cara has a long history of misstating and distorting what other people say. He has made a point of publicly insulting Barry Ritholtz in his blog, describing a time when he hacked into Ritholtz's private site and accused falsely Barry of failing to make proper disclosures. Coming from Cara, who is the King of Non-Disclosure, this was quite funny for those of us who find Cara's hypocrisy amusing.

Olive C. Reynolds, age 101 of King City passed away Monday, April 23, 2012
Celebration of Life:
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Monday, April 30, 2012 at Eddington Funeral Services Chapel.
Born December 24, 1910 in Wichita, Kansas, Olive was the last of three children born to Charles and Maude Cubitt. Olive was raised on her mother's homestead before moving to Long Beach, California as a child. She was a resident of King City for 72 years.
It was in Long Beach that Olive developed life-long talents for dancing, swimming and artwork. At age nine and a half she began taking dance lessons and as a senior in high school she won a poster contest which resulted in an audition with the dance troupe Franchon & Marco. She was hired on the spot and she toured with them across the United States for several years before teaching for them in St. Louis. Years later, after she had met her husband Ray Reynolds and moved to King City, she entertained the town by choreographing and instructing local businessmen and farmers in the all-male cast of the annual King City Lions Club fundraising dance revue, and she also taught dancing to many young aspiring ballerinas.
As a young woman, Olive traveled to Hawaii and then on to Samoa to visit her aunt. It was during this time, and during her time touring as a dancer, that she developed a love for travel. During her lifetime she visited every state in the United States and took several trips with the Silver Kings and Queens and with her husband and their good friends Norwood and Lily Chaney. Olive and her husband Ray traveled across the United States, made a road trip of many weeks through Mexico, went twice to the Panama Canal and to Alaska. Olive's last trip was when she and Ethel Davis decided to join the Silver Kings and Queens on a cruise to Spain and the Mediterranean when Olive was well into her nineties.
Olive loved to swim and she thought everyone should know how. She helped start the swimming program at the King City Pool. She was a graduate of the National Aquatic School and a certified Red Cross Instructor. She taught swimming to children in South County for forty years. Art was also a large part of Olive's life. She enjoyed working with different media including oils, water color, sculpture and needlework. She studied with several local artists including John Robie and she received a great deal of pleasure from creating something beautiful.
Olive is survived by her niece Jo Smart of Santa, Idaho, by great nieces and nephews Julie Smart of King City, Jeannie Marie Smart Grant of Stanwood, Washington, Jon Smart of Lincoln, Montana, and James Smart of Carmel, as well as by numerous great, great nieces and nephews including John (Sarah) Conatser and Darcy Conatser both of King City, and by many great, great, great nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Chicken Russell of Shandon, and by three nieces, Ann (Arvid) Myhre of San Ardo, Jane (Jonathan) Wooster of San Lucas, and Mary Russell of San Luis Obispo, as well as great niece Julie (Eric) Johnson of Laguna Niguel, California, and great nephews Wes (Sarah) Myhre of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Eric Myhre of Salinas, Theodore (Mardi) Wooster of San Jose, California, and Andrew Wooster of San Francisco; and by the numerous children of her great niece and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ray Reynolds; by her sister Florence Smart and her brother William Cubitt; by her nephew John Smart and by her great niece Joy Smart Lingo.

The company warned of a "difficult market environment" with tough competition and sharp ups and downs in exchange rates and prices for raw materials.
CEO Martin Winterkorn was "guardedly confident" about sales and earnings, saying he expected "a moderate increase in deliveries." The company said revenues this year would fall within 3 percent of last year's—either above or below.
The company faces headwinds from a slow auto market at home in Europe, and from a stronger euro that shrinks overseas earnings.
The Wolfsburg-based automaker said that 2013 operating earnings, which don't count tax and one-time charges, rose slightly to 11.7 billion euros ($16.3 billion) from 11.5 billion euros the year before. Revenues rose 2.2 percent to 197 billion.
The company relied on its luxury Porsche cars to make up for slowing sales at its mass-market brands and a decline in earnings at its other upmarket brand, Audi. Porsche, maker of the 911 sports car and Cayenne sport-utility vehicle, made a major 2.6-billion euro contribution to earnings, despite providing only a fraction of total sales at 14.3 billion. Porsche showed profit margins of 18 percent—very high by auto industry standards.
But sales fell 4.
Porsche's net profit fell to 9.1 billion euros from 21.9 billion euros the year before. The comparison was distorted by a large, 12.3 billion-euro gain for 2012 from accounting effects related to Volkswagen's takeover of Porsche.

Baker Hoping For Another Chance
Submitted by chad on July 29, 2006 - 09:03
Matthew Wuest of the [i]Halifax Daily News[/i] has written an interesting feature on Acadia forward Kevin Baker, who is one of the 41 prospects in camp this week. Baker, a former Kings draftee who played professionally with Lowell and St. John a few years back, just wants a chance to get back into professional hockey. He's getting that this week with the Lightning. Also in the feature, Lightning scout Darrell Young, who lives in Halifax, states the Lightning have spent approximately $100,000 this week to bring in players they think may be able to contribute somewhere in the organization. Young tells the [i]Daily News[/i] the organization is in search of offense, "and [Baker's] shown he can provide it." "We think with the rule changes, [Baker] has a chance," Young says.

He's 27 years old
Submitted by Ken on July 29, 2006 - 11:05.
He's run as the third wheel with Boisclair and desharnais. Granted those two haven't shared well with their fellow linemate, but he hasn't shown a nose for the net. He has played solid all around, working the boards, being the third man high if needed and just being responsible all-around. He's organizational filler and not likely to pas up enough younger to get to the NHL.

One Year Deal
Submitted by drottman on July 29, 2006 - 18:12.
If this kid has shown the stuff this article mentions, I could see him potentially with a one year deal with Springfield or Johnstown. Personally, I would love to see another "sniper" type on the Falcons roster this season and it would give this guy a chance to prove his case one last time. Great find.

Money Pillows
* Custom Decorative Money Throw Pillows, Pillow Cases & Body Pillows
* FREE Personalization on all Pillows
Whether it's to pay for a bigger house, a faster car, a more exotic vacation, finer foods or just to look at on your bank statement, you love money. So decorate your home and office with our money themed pillows to show off your ambitious personality. Remind your employees and clients that "time is money" by putting a custom throw pillow on your office sofa. On this pillow pattern, a traditional hourglass is seen with sand in its
top half. But the image takes a creative twist with gold coins shown dropping out in place of sand. Then choose another money throw pillow, but this time one that turns a cliche on its head. In this photo image pillow design, a hand is seen hold a pile of black soil. Out of that soil, there's a small tree growing with leaves made of 100 dollar bills, showing that money does grow on trees if you put in the work.
Carry your focus on and love of money home with you by going to sleep on pillow cases that depict your greatest dream. This money pillow design shows 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar bills raining down from a blue sky amid rays of sunlight. Match that with a money pillow case that is more realistic in meaning but just as cool in style. These pillow cases picture a 100 dollar bill as a jigsaw puzzle. A few of the pieces are put in place yet, representing that getting money can be a complex task. Then wake up to an artistic depiction of money with pillow shams that show a bright white morning sun shining down on an origami flower made from money. The flower on these custom pillow shams is colored purple, yellow, blue, green and red, because it's made from currencies from all over the world.

Redken Curvaceous Cream Shampoo10.1 oz. | Cleanser
see all Redken products
(Rated 4/5 based on 7 reviews) Login to add your review
My future father in law is a Redken stylist and brought me some samples of this entire line to try and report my findings back for him to tell to his curly haired clients. And I must say I really like it. It's not CG friendly, so that's the first thing to note. But I could use this with the leave in and nothing else and my hair looked phenomenal. The slip is great and it smells like heaven. My hair was left super soft, very shiny, and with lots of body, which I LOVE. It would be a 5 if it was CG friendly.
I received a sample of this and I used it a few times. This might be better for people with a drier scalp, but for me, it was too heavy and not cleansing enough. I never felt like my scalp was actually any cleaner than before I cleansed.
I have 3b type curls, with some extremely annoying and somewhat random frizzy section in the back top layer. For years I've been using drug store brand shampoo and conditioner that simply do not give my curls the moisture they need (probably because until this past March I had no idea my curls NEEDED moisture...not until my regular stylist was unavailable and the girl I got instead actually took the time to explain to me what curly hair is like. Imagine that, telling your clients how to properly care for their hair...but I digress). This shampoo is wonderful. It's low lather, so I usually run it through twice to get a really clean feeling, and then follow up with the conditioner which I leave in for about five-ten minutes while I finish my shower. In combination with each other I get great curl definition, including in the back with the random messy parts and my hair feels incredibly soft after using it, especially when I combine the two with the Curl Dive (which I do every second day for 30 minutes). Not only does my hair look and feel better since switching to this, but the smell is wonderful and soothing. I feel like I've come out of the salon every day now. Only problem I have with this is the price, but my salon often has the litre bottles on sale and it tends to last me for a reasonable amount of time. Despite its moisturizing and frizz controlling abilities, I still recommend using a styling product with this.
I bought a whole liter of this at Ulta when they were having a sale on Redken Shampoos. I was intitally really excited about Redken having a sulfate free line for curly hair. For being sulfate free it still gets a tiny bit of lather if I scrub really hard. It keeps my hair pretty moist and the smell is mild. Not my favorite shampoo, but I would recommend it any way
This shampoo is really nice. It's sulfate free and it very moisturizing. I did have to use quite a bit to coat all of my hair and I had to shampoo twice to feel like my hair got clean. It's not a high lather shampoo and feels more like a conditioner with some extra cleaning properties. I'd probably repurchase this again to use as a shampoo when my hair needs a light wash.
I typically do not use any shampoo aside from Deva Curl Low Poo because I'v got super fine, breakable, DRY, tempermental 3b hair with random curl patterns. My stylist asked me to try this curvaceous stuff out and let her know what I think....since I'm a tough customer. I tried it today and really liked it. It's a little perfumey compared to DCLP and, if you've tried oth DC Low Poo & No Poo, I'd say this lather is somewhere in between....very little lather, yet it made my hair feel really clean without feeling stripped or dry....miraculous for me. I followed with the curvaceous conditioner and then Redkin Extreem Anti Snap. I've got soft, defined, clean looking ringlets on a very humid day!...unheard of really. Worth a try curlies!
I stumbled into a local salon looking for Paul Mitchell's new Curly line shampoo and I purchased this instead. It's 10oz. for $16.95 but I've seen it cheaper on Amazon. I also got a free sample of the shampoo and conditioner. I used them for the first time today and loved it. My hair feels clean but not stripped. If I could compare it to something, it's like Mixed Chicks sulfate free shampoo but even more gentle. Usually shampoo causes a lot of frizz but I applied it to my hair while twisted, forcing me to concentrate on my roots. Then I would unravel and work it through to my ends and re-twist. I used two dime sized dollops to get through my whole head. But I have a lot of hair. At this rate, the bottle will last me a month maybe two. I'll update my review if anything changes. At this point I want the whole line.

The Singapore Zoo is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manages the neighboring Night Safari and the Jurong Bird Park. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.6 million visitors a year. Singapore Zoo is in the north of the island at Mandai, by the serene Seletar Reservoir, and is immensely proud of its orangutan-breeding program. By focusing on these magnificent creatures, whose plight symbolizes the disappearance of tropical rainforests around the world, the zoo hopes to nurture a respect and deep appreciation of nature in all who visit the zoo. It is not all dark at the world's first nighttime zoo safari, with subtle moon glow lighting highlighting the raw beauty of 40 hectares of secondary jungle next to the Singapore Zoo. Thrills are guaranteed as you ride the open tram through the tropical jungle, with all its mysteries laid bare. The journey passes a large reservoir and snakes through habitats that are as identical to the natural environment as much as possible, from the Himalayan foothills to the Southeast Asian rainforest and Indian subcontinent.
Click here for packages available
The animal shows at Singapore Zoo are designed to maintain our animals' natural instincts and behaviours through activities. Such activities help to deepen our understanding towards them and even participate in the wonders of their ways. Get ready for an awesome time with our star animals at three animal presentations — Rainforest Fights Back, Splash Safari and Elephants at Work and Play. Each presentation happens at least twice daily. Be sure to catch at least one, if not all, and be awed by the bond between the animals and their trainers.
Embark on yet another journey, this time to bombard your senses with a kaleidoscope of rich colours from exotic Asia. Since their domestication 4,000 years ago, Asian elephants have influenced the Asian way of life more significantly than any other animal. Revered as gods in Hinduism, regarded as sacred in Buddhism and tamed as servants for thelogging industry, elephants continue to play an important role in the lives of thousands of Asians.Elephants of Asia is a one-hectare exhibit that showcases the largest living land mammal, and the colourful history and cultural elements that are associated with these gentle giants. It boasts a mud wallow, bathing pool, viewing loft and rustic thatched huts with Myanmar-influenced architecture. Elevated boardwalks take you through the length of the eco-habitat.
Fragile Forest is dedicated to highlighting the fragility of ecosystems, in particular the rainforest and the mangrove habitat. The rainforest environment is recreated in the form of a 20,000 cubic metre flight area, one of the largest in the world. The flight area teems with a variety of rainforest species — butterflies, lemurs, mousedeer, sloths, fruit bats, lories, crowned pigeons and iguanas. Hundreds of mighty trees, delicate ferns, palms, shrubs and undergrowth flourish. The chorus of insects, achieved through soundscaping, effectively recreates the forest ambience. Cascades, logs and a misting system lend the final touch to landscaping.
As the name suggests, Hamadryas baboons — Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia replicates the Great Rift Valley. Inspired by the dry savannah bio-climatic zone of Ethiopia, this impressive eco-exhibit occupies an area of 8,000 square metres. Dramatic rocky escarpments, created using glass-fibre reinforced concrete, simulate the natural habitat of a troop of close to 90 Hamadryas baboons and a herd of Nubian ibexes. Weaving through the hilly outcrops, a group of banded mongooses come into view. The black-backed jackal and rock hyraxes can be admired through glass-viewing panels within stonewalled and thatched-roofed huts. The cultural elements of Ethiopia are powerfully conveyed through the replicas of the Konso and Amharic villages. Dwelling huts with earth floors and mud walls display authentic utensils, tools and storage containers to portray how the African tribes live under harsh conditions. Carved effigies of departed heroes stand guard at the entrances of the Konso village. A coffee ceremony hut completes the Ethiopian landscape.
The opening of the Polar Bear Viewing Exhibit in 1988 marked the beginning of a new concept in displaying aquatic animals. It is a great thrill for guests to be able to observe the seldom-seen underwater behavior of the bears and to `rub noses' with them.
