I love this shampoo and conditioner line. Makes my hair so soft, manageable, and frizz-free. And it smells great. Too bad its so expensive.

This, along with the Smooth Infusion Shampoo are kind of my "go to" products when other things don't work.
I have very thick, wavy frizz-prone hair that refuses to smooth down. The Smooth Infusion conditioner does a pretty good job of taming some of the frizz. The problem is, it also tends to remove the natural body from my hair as well as some of the wave. It also doesn't moisturize my hair as well as it should.
I'll continue to use it until I find something better but it's a pretty reliable condiitoner if you have hair like mine.

I really like how well this smooths my hair. After blowdrying my hair is actually not frizzy at all and it detangles so well!!! I love the consistency of it. Not too heavy and thick and not too light and watery. I have finally found the perfect shampoo and conditioner from Aveda!!

I have long hair which is thick, course and dry. This conditioner is perfect for hydrating my hair without leaving a slime layer on my hair that a lot of other conditioners leave. I have to use a little more of this product that other conditioners to get a good effect, but it is worth it. leaves my hair soft, moisturized and reduces my fly-aways. Makes straightening my hair a breeze as well. The scent is a bit strange and needs getting used to- reminds me of lemon and clove. I only use it once in a while when I feel like my hair is getting a bit dry- using it every time I wash would get a bit too expensive.

I received the 3 sample combo and I am soooooooooo disappointed. I don't understand why Aveda gets so much hype, most of their products are overpriced and the only positive aspect is the heavenly smell. The only Aveda product I like is damage remedy treatment mask, but I rarely purchase it because I don't like to pay $26 for a small tube! (especially since there are many comparable products at fraction of this price).
Well, this combo dried my hair and made it straw-like, NOT smooth like it claims to be. I couldn't wait to wash it off my hair. Yes, I loved the smell, but I wouldn't want to use this stuff even if they paid me to use it!!

I received a free sample of Smooth Infusion Shampoo, COnditioner and Style-Prep Smoother. They work! My hais is fine, dry, color-treated and a bit wavy. These products (especially if you use all of them together (the shampoo being the least important) keep the cuticle down. Smells great (herbal) like all Aveda products. For free? Great. Would I buy it? Yes! I just bought the full size product for $26 - and I love it.

I bought this along with the shampoo for Christmas and am so disappointed! I read all of the rave reviews and wanted to love it, but after using it a few times gave it to my husband. He seems to like it, but it did nothing for me except dry out my hair.
Age: 30-35

I have just reviewed the shampoo. I have been using this line in conjunction with each other so I'm not sure how they stand up on their own. Together, though, my hair has never looked nor felt better.
I love the Aveda scents, and this one, which seems lightly herbal and lemonadey, does not disappoint. You don't need to apply a lot and for me, at least, I am left with sensational hair - I can't believe how glamorous it looks as a result!
Since this makes my hair look so nice, I'm not too worried if it has silicones or any other superficial additives to coat hair. I would counteract that by using a clarifying shampoo every few washes. That seems fine to me.

I love this conditioner! This works great as an everyday conditioner; it's not heavy at all, actually a bit on the lighter side so it never weighs my hair down. I also love the smell. However, I hate the tube it comes it. I feel like I can never get all the product out and there's no way you could refill it if you were to buy the larger size; I don't like keeping huge bottles in the shower. Kind of strange for a company that's so big on being 'green'. The price is also crazy; $21 for 6.7 fl.oz. I will definitely repurchase as long as my wallet allows!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

The conditioner is very moisturizing and helps seal my hair pretty well. It's a medium-weight conditioner as it does weigh down my hair a bit after rinsing out and drying. The smell is again a very fresh herbal scent. My hair is much easier to comb and style when using this conditioner and my hair feels soft and light to the touch. Like the shampoo, the only downside is that it's a bit expensive.

At its peak, the Inca empire was the largest on Earth. Yet in the year 1532, it was conquered by fewer than 200 Spanish adventurers. How could this happen? Approaching the answer clue by clue, scholar William Sullivan decodes the myths of the Incas to reveal an astoundingly precise record of astronomical events. The Incas accepted their fate as written in the stars. Illus.

I purchased my pretzels and headed back to my store.

Respond to Review of Mildred's
by AlexBerger
Review: Haven't been for a couple of years but was really sad and disappointed by their attitude towards vegan customers. To make a dish vegan they simply leave off ingredients rather than use any substitutes. When I mentioned that you can get heaps of vegan nut cheeses nowadays I was told by the waitress that the owner tries not to encourage vegans. Interesting attitude for a veggie restaurant. A little sad that it's one of the few veggie restaurants in London so very disappointing for anyone overseas to visit if they are vegan or raw. Would be nice if they checked out some of the restaurants in NYC as comparatively they are way behind the times in both attitude and in the choice of menu!

Please take time to read these terms and conditions carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law. By accessing this site and/ or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions also govern purchases fulfilled via ASDA Delivery Limited and any of our fulfillment partners. Additional terms and conditions relating to International Delivery outside of the UK apply*. To view please click here.
*UK (United Kingdom) means [England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.]
1.1 We aim to show items as accurately as possible, but they may look different in the flesh. We take great care to reproduce item descriptions and specifications provided by manufacturers accurately, but occasionally we make mistakes. If there is anything which is unclear, or if you wish to obtain further information, please contact our Customer Services by emailing us or call (+44) (0)800 952 3003 between 8am and 8pm (GMT), 7 days a week.
1.2 From time to time prices of items published on our website may differ from the price offered at the same time in ASDA or George stores or in our catalogues.
1.3 All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable (where applicable). This means that the total price you pay for the item, and for the delivery, is always the same, regardless of whether or not UK VAT is chargeable on the sale. The price of each item does not include the cost of delivery or any other services. We reserve the right, however, to change prices on our websites at any time without notice to you. We make every effort to ensure that prices shown are accurate when you place your order.

1.4 If, within 7 days of receipt of our notice to you, you have not responded by selecting one of the available options above then:
1.5 In the event that a pricing error is found by us, then the above options shall only apply if your order delivery has not been completed.
2.1 The ASDA Pre-order Price Promise is available on George (www.ASDA.com/george) for all pre-order CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, Games software, hardware and accessories*. On pre-ordering an itemfrom George, you will be required to pay the amount shown at the checkout. From the point you order – if ASDA reduces the price in store or online up to and including the day of release, ASDA will refund you the difference in price**. This means you always get ASDA's lowest price from the point you pre-order. For example, if a game costs £40 at the point of your order – you will be charged £40 at the checkout. If we reduce this game to £35 the week before its launch date – we will refund you £5. *The Pre-order Price Promise does not apply to items that have already been released. The Pre-order Price Promise excludes books. It excludes all other items on George and is only valid on pre-order CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, Games software, games hardware (consoles) and accessories. ** ASDA will process the refund within 7 days of the release date. The refund will automatically be credited to your payment card.
3.1 To be eligible to purchase items from this site, you must be (a) be 18 years of age or over; and (b) have a credit or debit card acceptable to us in your name and (c) stipulate a delivery address within the UK or within one of our International delivery locations (which may vary according to the items ordered); (d) and give your real name, address, phone number, email address and any other details requested.
3.2 We cannot sell knives or any other sharp items which includes such items as scissors and DIY kits that include bladed tools to you if you are under the age of 18 years.
3.3 We reserve the right to decline a new customer registration or suspend your account at any time.
3.4 We also reserve the right not to accept your order for any reason.
4.1 We try our best to ensure that all items on our site are in stock. If an item is out of stock, it will normally be labelled as 'out of stock' on our website. If, for any other reason beyond our control, we are unable to supply a particular product, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that product. Some items are not held in stock (e.g. furniture) and these therefore will have a longer delivery time.
4.2 We will let you know as soon as possible if any particular item is unavailable for purchase.
4.3 To ensure availability of all our items, we may place restrictions on how many units of a particular product you can order at a time. We reserve the right to withdraw any product from sale for any reason.
5.1 We only accept payment in Pound Sterling and by credit or debit card & PayPal.
5.2 If an exchange rate is applicable to your order your card provider will determine the rate of exchange and may add an administration charge which you will be liable to pay.
5.3 We are able to accept ASDA Credit Card, MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, Delta, Solo, Visa Electron, or American Express although we reserve the right to refuse to accept any of these cards from time to time without notice. We try hard to ensure that using your credit or debit card when you shop online or when using the click and collect option is safe and secure. Our secure server encrypts your credit card number details and your personal information before securely transmitting them. Your browser will show you are in a secure environment by showing either a locked padlock or an image of a key in the grey bar at the bottom of the page; it may let you know that you are entering secure mode as you go to place your order.
5.4 When you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an order confirmation email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is not an acceptance of your order, just confirmation that we have received it.
5.5 The contract between us for the items you have ordered will only be formed when we email you to confirm that the items have been dispatched. The contract will therefore be formed in England and the language of the contract will be English.
5.6 Payment will be debited from your account upon submission of your order online. This will not be when the contract between ASDA and you is formed (see above).
5.7 All refund payments will be paid to you in Pound Sterling and will match the amount you paid in Pound Sterling for the item(s) and delivery (if the delivery charge is refundable). If an exchange rate is applicable to your order the amount you receive in your local currency will depend on the exchange rate applied by your credit or debit card provider when it receives our refund payment and may therefore be different from the price paid for the item(s) in your local currency. We will not be liable for any losses caused to you as a result of any currency fluctuations or exchange rates applied by your credit or debit card provider.
If you are in the UK:
6.1 Delivery to your home or to your local ASDA store in the UK may incur a charge as detailed in our 'UK Delivery Information' section. The delivery charge is charged on your total order, if your order is made up of a mixture of small/medium sized items you will incur a 'standard delivery' charge but if you include a large item your delivery charge will be at the higher price.
6.2 We aim to deliver the majority of the small/medium sized items that we have to you within 4 working days for most UK postcodes. For remote UK postcodes and locations not classified as mainland UK then we will aim to deliver small/medium sized items to you within 5 working days after you have placed your order. On certain items there is a longer lead time which is up to 28 days. For orders that are delivered direct to you by our suppliers, after placing your order they will contact you to arrange a delivery date that is convenient to you.
6.3 For orders that are delivered using the click and collect option we will provide an Estimated Collection Date at the point of order. When your order is ready for collection from the store we will email and/or text you to confirm providing you have supplied these contact details when ordering. When collecting your order from store please take along your order confirmation email and the payment card you used to place the order, if you paid using PayPal or eVouchers only, a valid form of ID which proves you are over 18. Please ensure the name on your ID matches the name provided when ordering.
6.4 A signature may sometimes be required at delivery. By placing an order you are authorising us to accept signature from another person at the same address on your behalf if you need to sign for an item and you are not present at the time of delivery.
6.5 For some items that do not require a signature at delivery you may be able to give instructions explaining if and where you would like the product to be left if no one is present at the time of delivery, such as with a neighbour.
6.6 Ownership of an item will not pass to you until the product has been delivered to you (either directly, or by leaving it in a safe place or with a neighbour or where you have signed for it when using the click and collect option). Once an item is delivered, responsibility for risk of damage to or loss of the product passes to you.
6.7 We also use third party delivery companies which may, at their discretion, leave an item in a safe place if no one is present at the time of delivery. In these circumstances the delivery company will put a card through your letter box explaining where the product has been left.
6.8 Should your order include a large item, e.g., an American style fridge freezer or Sofa, it is your responsibility to ensure you check access to your premises before placing your order. We do advise customers to not book kitchen fitters/installation engineers until their items have arrived, as we will not be held responsible for any costs associated with this. Installation and assembly services are offered for selected large domestic electrical items and Furniture. You will be charged for this service if you select it. In some instances we will also be happy to take away your old large electrical items if required. Again, you will be charged for this service if it is selected. Please select the appropriate installation and/or removal services when placing your order as they cannot be added later.
If you are outside of the UK
6.9 If you select international Delivery as the delivery method for your items, the delivery will be carried out by ADL, which is a separate company from ASDA Stores Limited. This means that the delivery will be subject to a separate contract between you and ADL. The terms of this separate contract can be viewedhere.
6.10 Ownership of an item will pass to you when it is passed on to ADL to provide the international delivery service to you.
7.1 If you wish to cancel any orders then please contact us to do so. There is a cancellation form and customer helpdesk number you can use to cancel which can be found in the cancellation section. If the product(s) has not been despatched we will cancel the order and the full price paid will be refunded.
7.2 If the product(s) has been dispatched and we are unable to prevent the delivery you should refuse to sign for the items and they will be returned to us and the cost of your order refunded as well as the cost of a standard delivery charge for delivering the items to you.
7.3 If you cancel an order due for click and collect you do not need to come in to store to refuse the item. The order will be cancelled and the price paid for the item will be refunded. You do not need to take any further action.
7.4 In some instances you may not be able to part cancel an order but you may be able to return the order and claim a refund, if this is the case customer services will explain this to you. If you have selected installation or assembly of the product, once our fitters have started the installation/assembly you cannot cancel your order.

16.1 With effect from July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations require that all producers of electrical equipment are now obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.
16.2 So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, ASDA have contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.
Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods but to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk Don't forget to have your postcode ready to use in the "recycling facilities" locator.
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind consumers of the collection methods available, which in turn allow recycling to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the crossed out wheeled bin symbol. To ensure your waste electronics don't contribute to damaging the environment, please use www.recycle-more.co.uk and recycle today.

I will start. My Ex in-laws had a friend who always bought things from the good will/2nd hand stores. I have no problems with this because I do this as well. However, she bought me all boys clothes (i was having a girl) with stains, teething rings (with teeth marks), skid mark stained cloth diapers, and a clown halloween costume that was Size 3 months (mind you my DD was due in Feb 2008 but came Jan 29th).
What about you?

Iran...ravaging western Persia. Nādr, an Afshārid Turkmen from northern Khorāsān, was eventually able to reunite Iran, a process he began on behalf of the Ṣafavid prince Ṭahmāsp II (reigned 1722–32), who had escaped the Afghans. After Nādr had cleared the country of Afghans, Ṭahmāsp made him governor of a large area of eastern...
Ṣafavid dynasty...during the reign of Shah ʿAbbās II (1642–66), it was a period of decline. Eṣfahān fell to the Ghilzai Afghans of Qandahār in 1722. Seven years later Shah Ṭahmāsp II recovered Eṣfahān and ascended the throne, only to be deposed in 1732 by his Afshārid lieutenant Nadr Qolī Beg (the future Nādir Shāh).

In 1726, as head of this group of bandits, he led 5,000 followers in support of the Ṣafavid shah Ṭahmāsp II, who was seeking to regain the throne his father had lost four years earlier to the Ghilzay Afghan usurper Maḥmūd.

Sonny Smith brings you "100 Records" — and the jukebox to play them
Legendary Bay-based rock photographer Jim Marshall, who was featured in a Guardian cover story on March 3, 2010, passed away in his sleep Tuesday night in New York at the age of 74. The people who worked with him on the cover story, Johnny Ray Huston and Mirissa Neff, remember him.Johnny Ray Huston, writer: When someone dies it's impossible not to think of the last time you saw them. With Jim Marshall, I wish that last time had been different. Jim had called me in the morning to see if I wanted to meet him at his favorite dinner spot. That night, I arrived about 15 minutes late, finding him alone at a table in the center of the place with a glass of wine. It was noisy, and I had to shout more than usual for Jim to hear what I said. I showed him some crummy digital shots I'd taken of a few Bay Area musicians I'd daydreamed about him really photographing, but he seemed distracted, quieter than usual. When we said goodbye later on the corner by his apartment, I assumed his mind was on the future. He was about to leave on a trip, first going to Texas for the monster that is South by Southwest, and then to New York, for a gallery show of his photography and the release of Match Prints, his latest book, a collaboration with Timothy White.

Rough Frame
San Francisco's Josh Alper and Glenn Donaldson lightly place these love songs within comic frameworks. The opening track describes a shy, lovelorn music fan too shy to twist and shout, peppering the scenario with observations such as, "He's worn his pants like that / For a very long time." It also mentions a Buggles record, but Television Personalities and Guided By Voices are better reference points to the Art Museums' sound. In their world, a sculpture garden is a good place to discuss cinema. Read more »

FILM Like only the very best filmmakers, 25-year-old Raya Martin knows that a movie screen in a theater is a site for waking dreams and also a window into forms of sleep.

His new and stunning work Independencia (2009) is sprinkled with stark sequences of characters lying down to fight or embrace their dream lives.

Football fanatics think they know everything abut the game. But there is a lot they don't know about recruiting.
When you are a fan-atic, you don't think straight. Everything revolves around your favorite program. It can do no wrong. There is no room for objectivity. You are a cheerleader. If the school is being investigated, you blame it on the investigators or snitches. You watch everything through rose-colored glasses or the school colors.
Fan-atics don't forgive or understand that everyone is human. A good example was the basketball war between Illinois and Indiana over the recruiting of Eric Gordon. Hatred boiled over. Hey, folks, it's a game, not the Middle East conflict.
It is shocking to me, even after 31 years in this business. I understand that only 1 percent of the public has turned recruiting into a personal vendetta or the Hatfields vs. the McCoys...death threats, name-calling, profanity-laced e-mails, "fire the coach" Websites, and that's before it starts to get ugly.
They are the ones who hang out on their computers all day, eating Cheetos and drinking beer. They are the anonymous ones, the really scary ones.
Fortunately, most football fans take the game and recruiting as it is...sports, fun, homecoming, Dad's Day, not the end of the world.
Unfortunately, the unrealistic 1 percent always think their school should get a kid because it has so much to offer. They fail to understand (or admit to themselves) that other schools have great salesmen and facilities and also have a lot to offer, maybe even more than your school.
One football recruiter once told me that he never lost a prospect, that if he didn't sign the recruit, it was because (1) he didn't want the kid in the first place or (2) the other school cheated. Most fan-atics have the same philosophy.
Evaluating isn't that difficult. It isn't brain surgery or nuclear physics. A coach must fit a model for each position. It includes a size description, quick feet and speed. Then you have to evaluate how a prospect plays the game. If he is a Division I candidate, he must stand out. He must have Division I potential. He must stand out against high school competition. All All-Staters need not apply.
The 1 percent doesn't accept any of this logic. It's a shame because they tend to ruin the fun for many of us who want to enjoy the game and recruiting for what it is, football's second season.

Yelp Vigilantes Are Organizing Against Businesses in the Name of Justice
After the owner of a pizzeria said last week that he wouldn't cater a gay wedding, a group of Yelpers took action, using their reviews to bring down the business. Not customers unhappy with the service, but social justice protesters reviewing the business based on ideology. And it's not just an isolated case.

Best Members' Show (2013)
Material Engagements
Co-ops, schools, associations and art groups often mount shows that feature the work of their members exclusively. Material Engagements, at Laura Merage's RedLine, comprised pieces by the complex's residents and former residents, and it was definitely a winner. Guest curator Harmony Hammond made the savvy decision to choose material as the organizing theme; this was a necessary call, given that there is no particular stylistic requirement for RedLiners and every artist does his or her own kind of work. Among the best aspects of the exhibition was its intelligent design, with each of the two dozen artists given a dedicated space and plenty of breathing room.

Reserve Funds to Launch Sweeps for Small Banks
Hunter, Matthew, American Banker
Reserve Funds of New York is set to launch a product designed to make it easier for banks, particularly small ones, to pay interest on commercial checking accounts.
Big banks have gotten around federal restrictions on offering interest on business checking through the use of sweep accounts, in which repurchase agreements let them keep client deposits on the books while "sweeping" them to a money market mutual fund and back.
The Reserve Return Sweep account, which will be available Aug. 1, will use a technological solution to eliminate the administrative hassles of the repurchase agreement, said Bruce Bent 2d, co-creator of the product and president of the company. It will also allow an unlimited number of sweep transactions from the fund to the deposit account, sidestepping a federal limit of six such transactions a month, he said.
Frontier Bank of Everett, Wash., will be the first bank to use the account for its commercial depositors. The bank had been looking for a product that could pay interest on commercial deposits without hampering loan growth, said John Dickson, senior vice president of its parent, Frontier Financial Corp.
The Reserve Return Sweep account is designed for banks with assets of up to $3 billion, whose ability to fund loan growth would be hampered by repurchase agreements, Mr. Dickson said. Such agreements wipe collateral from institutions' books that they could otherwise use to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve or the Federal Home Loan Banks, he said.
For banks like $1.6 billion-asset Frontier, the alternative to Reserve Funds' new account is to incur the expense of offering high-interest-bearing certificates of deposit, which are currently yielding around 7% in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Dickson said. By using Return Reserve Sweep, the bank would be able to keep the deposits on the books to fund lending, he said.
"This allows me to compete with nonbanking institutions" for customer deposits, Mr. Dickson said. Before deciding to go with the Reserve Funds product, Frontier was close to signing a deal with Fidelity Investments for sweep services, he said.
Mr. Bent would not explain how his firm will skirt the six-transfer monthly limit for sweep accounts, beyond saying it involves the use of technology. …

At the early age of 16 and 18, my wife and I ran off and was married much against our parents wishes. I graduated after we were married and landed a good job. We had 4 kids one daughter and three sons.In the mid 6o's I contracted a deadly flu, HONG KONG Flu, and transferred it to my family. We lost our oldest son and our youngest son, ages 31/2 and 6 months. We were devastated we did not have the support of our families. I just went off the deep end and having no regard for my wife and two kids I joind the draft. I felt like I just needed get away and get sent to Viet Nam. As it turned out I was chosen for speacial schools and advanced very quick.I was then stationed at Corpus Christi Texas. My wife and kids and I had made a trip back to Oklahoma and had a severe auto accident, my wife was injured so bad, my daughter just sufferd broken bones and cuts, my son lost his right eye and half the right side of his head, I hade a broken neck in three places and multiple other injuries. The took us all to the same hospital in Tulsa. They seperated us to different places in intensive care. They patched my daughter up and my wifes brother agreed to take her home withem , luckily my wife had his number in her purse. After being there fo a day the Army sent a helicopter and picked me up and took me to Ft Sill, 300 miles away. I did not have a clue as to how my family was doing. I was gone for 2 months with very limited information about my family. I was finally able to go on medical leave and went to my wifes mothers house she had finally felt she needed to help. My wife and I recuperated there and when my son was able to come home about 4 months, we went back to Corpus Christi. I was then sent off to Viet Nam, which I was involved in so many situations that I still cannot talk about. I then was stationed at Ft Lewis, Washington. While we were there I had a country western band, I played lead guitar, (beleive that?) While we were playing at an Elks Club on Woodbe Island(sp), we had some friends tell us about two little girls that were abandoned and abused. We imediatly left the club they took us to the house and we picked the two little girls up and took them home. One was 17 months the other 6 months. The next morning I went to JAG and started the paper work, whithin 6 months we had birth certificates with our last name. Have you ever thought that things happen for a reason? I do. By that time I was suffering pretty bad with PTSD, and decided to end my Army career. Moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, bought a house got a job found that I could not work for someone else. I started my own steel fabrication company. Then in 1990 our house burned down, we lost everything. I had a good insurance and they rebuilt the house. By that time we were tired of city life so I bought the 20 acres we now live on. But then on Nov 1st 1999 I dropped a 600lb steel beam on my left hand after that my company went down and i had to disol

To meet the animal care and use requirements of the 8th edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the terms of NIU's assurance with the Public Health Service, we have implemented upgrades to NIU's Occupational Health and Safety Program for Animal Workers.
The Animal Care and Use Protocols will be categorized into low, medium, or high hazard levels. These tiers will help minimize cost and research burden. The participants in medium and high hazard protocols will be asked to submit a health assessment to Kishwaukee Corporate Health for evaluation (confidentiality needs require use of an outside evaluator). The cost of these evaluations will be borne by the Division of Research and Innovation Partnerships. We anticipate rapid turn-around on these evaluations.

New Hair Color
Tuesday, April 21, 2015
I was browsing Instagram last week and saw that Monica had colored her hair this beautiful red color. I immediately decided that I wanted to take the chance and color mine. I arrived for my appointment and my stylist asked what was I getting done to my hair? When I said I wanted to get it cut down and colored she was surprised because she knows how much I love black hair. While here are the results with a before and after pics.

Hat Obsession
Wednesday, February 11, 2015
Last year I started a love affair with hats which is unusual for me. I would only wear hats when I was running out to the store when I was having a bad hair day. That all changed when I went into H&M and started trying on different hats just for the fun of it. Needless to say that I loved the way that looked and went on a hat shopping spree. Now I wear them for fashion instead of covering up m messy hair. Here are some og my favorite hats that I purchased. Do you ladies love hats for a fashion statement or you only wear them to cover up a bad hair day?

Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Review

It's been awhile since I posted something, I truly missed you all. Today I wanted to share how Viva Glam Miley Cyrus looks on me. I must admit I thought it was going to be a darker hot pink but it isn't. I used Beet Lipliner by Mac with the lipstick and lipgloss. Take a look and let me know if you like it. Here's some additional info about the lipstick and lipglass in case you didn't know. The color is described as a Hot Pink and the formula is Amplified. The lipglass is described a Hot Pink with Sparkling Pearl.

Melt: DGAF
Saturday, March 1, 2014
Melt finally restocked DGAF lipstick and I had to buy it. I'm not usually a fan of bold color lipsticks but I had to try this one out. The color is a dark blue with a semi matte finish. I didn't have to use a lip liner when I applied it for the first time. I love how the Melt lipsticks feel on my lips and this color is a must have in my opinion.

New Haircut 2014
Monday, January 13, 2014
For the past couple of months I've been having a love hate relationship with my hair. So randomly on Friday I decided to get it cut very short. I knew that I wanted a new look because I felt like I was stuck in a rut. I decided to pay a visit to my old stylist, Melanie at Salon Lamaj and let her do her thing. I was inspired by Toni Braxton everytime I see her hair it made me want to cut mine. I must say I was nervous but pleased with the outcome. It felt refreshing to cut my hair it seemed to wars off some negative energy that I was feeling. My youngest son or my Mom don't care for it but it's just hair and it will grow back. Here are a couple of pics of my hair before the haircut and after.

DreamWorks Pictures has acquired screen rights to "The 39 Clues," a multiplatform adventure series to be launched in the fall by Scholastic Media, Steven Spielberg is eyeing the project as a directing vehicle.
"The 39 Clues" takes creative leaps to expand the story experience from the pages of the books to multiple stages of discovery and imagination.
DreamWorks Pictures has set Brett Ratner to direct the long-gestating adaptation of The 39 Clues.
We first reported on this project back in September 2008, when screenwriter Jeff Nathanson was hired to adapt this young adult novel series. At the time, it was being developed as a possible vehicle for Steven Spielberg to direct. Now Jeff Nathanson will reunite with Brett Ratner, who directed Tower Heist from Jeff Nathanson's script.Read More
http://movieweb.com/movie/interstellar-2009/ It seems that Steven Spielberg could have a new project lined up, with screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. Vulture is reporting that co-writer Jonathan Nolan could be writing the Steven Spielberg film Interstellar.
The script was originally written by physicist Kip Thorne, but it was said that Nolan had been working on the script for over two years now and his agency switch to William Morris Endeavor could indicate that this project could be the next film for Spielberg, who has long been attached to direct the film.Read More
DreamWorks has attached Jeff Nathanson to write the screen adaptation of the first novel of The 39 Clues, a multiplatform adventure series launching Tuesday from Scholastic Media, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The studio acquired the film rights to the property in June, and Nathanson will crack the first novel in the series, The Maze of Bones, written by former middle school teacher Rick Riordan.Read More

The state made an error of not revoking my license for a dui in 2001. Can they still be harsh in judgement from their error?
Will I still have to get high risk insurance for 3 years even though I have had my license the last 12 years and have a good driving record? Do I still get revoked and have to get a permit to drive to work? Does the state suspend your license for a year then revoke it? Since this is their error will they be more lenient with me since I have been driving 12 years with a good record for those 12 years?
Yes the state may impose the revocation even years later. The remedy was for you to take action back in 2001. Instead...
My license was suspended for a dui 13 years ago, now the state is wanting to revoke it for that. Can they?
I got a paper from the state saying my license is being revoked because of a dui 13 years ago. I was put on 1 yr probation, classes, court cost and my license was suspended (I got a paper from the state saying suspended not revocation)for 1 yr. I was discharged from probation after completing everything. I paid my reinstatement fee to get my license back after the year of suspension. I have had my license for the last 12 years and have renewed it at least 3 times. Now the state is saying my license is going to be revoked because I didn't go to a hearing.
The government may still try to take this action.
If your duo charges are dropped to possession charges in illinois can they still suspend your license for failing blood test
there is no driving under influence charge only possession of pot charges no accident involved just traffic stop have completed all court ordered classes and paid all fines has been almost 4months since final court date and now they want to start 6 month suspension it says because of failed blood test and duo but there is no dui
I suggest that you contact an attorney to assist. You can find one in here in the area at the Find a Lawyer section of...
I recieved four tickets . I am currently on court supervision for a DUI and am supposed to get my license back in May .
The four tickets were battery , obstructing a police officer , consumption of a minor , and acceptance or purchase of alcohol of a minor . I was at my house when i was arrested . I did not have any alcohol around me and before that i was punched in the face by a person i did not know . she thought i was someone else i defended myself and walked to my home . they came to my home and arrested me i did not fight it and i did not argue . i told them i was defending my self . they did not give me a field sobrity test or make me blow . I am curently on court supervision for a DUI . I want to know how this will go over in court when they have no proof or evidence of me consuming alcohol . when they came to my house they just walked in . these are city charges not county or state . i am getting a lawyer .
How do you THINK this will "go over in court?" You are getting a lawyer. That is the smartest thing you could do...
I rec'd a DUI citation in S.D. they are willing to drop it to a Reck. Drvg. and have it sealed. How does this effect my IL CDL
I have a valid Illinois CDL license for my employment. How might it effect this. They are telling me it will be sealed in South Dakota. How does this effect my Illinois CDL?
Reckless alone will not DQ the CDL. However, it will be a serious violation and if you have two of those in three years...
My son has been charged with domestic violence he was drunk and hit his 14- year old daughter he is in jail and was told he

Hello. First of all, your son should immediately hire a lawyer. This is a very serious matter. I am uncertain of all...
Can i get a dui and arrested in illinois for driving my truck on my own my property and hitting my own tree?
Yes you can. However, if it's private property, the Secretary of State cannot suspend your license.

Getting the Arctic Drilling Message On Hill
Greenpeace activists hold up banner messages for Interior Secretary Ken Salazar as he testifies at the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Capitol Hill May 26, 2010. Greenpeace is calling upon Interior Secretary Salazar to cancel Shell's drilling program for Alaska as a first step toward a comprehensive ban on all new drilling in US coastal waters. Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes, right, sits next to Secretary Salazar. The letters on the banners were painted with sludge from the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & brotherhood of lan & goodroi
complain about a real problem
Can't see the sandbox being a "real" problem, or a problem at all. It's there to stop the SPAM. If I start a new company called Mesothelioma Lawyers Ltd you reckon I should show up in the top 500 purely because that's my company name?
Sure, the "sandbox", whatever it is, hurts some. It hurts people who are creating sites for free traffic. Many of them are spammers/freeloaders. It also hurts others. They - particularly anyone starting a new business with a business plan that relies on free SE traffic - are probably better off staying unemployed (or employed if they can find a job). Any new site starting off on the premise that free traffic will sustain it deserves to fail.
So, if you remove the sandbox as a reasonable cause for complaint, and remove most of the other whining, we'd reduce this thread to one page and those that can't even be bothered to read it will get a personal reply from Googleguy because he owes them.
ROI does not and should not have anything to do with your free traffic. A good PPC campaign can stand on it's own (isn;t that the whole reason for it?)
Irritating reply coming from someone who has probably never tried PPC.
WebFusion, no one can entirely relay on PPC traffic to sustain his online business.
Even eBay are having problems with it. PPC is good for support. Add to that the fact that competition is furious for many keywords (prices per click are sky high) and there you have it. The average webmaster will not be able to run or relay on PPC traffic alone to sustain his business without having free traffic to compliment sales.
Having to pay $1-1.5 per click for my keywords per visitor is just unsustainable and I�m sure that many other webmasters are in such position. It will get way to expensive for my business to relay on paid ads alone. My budget would not allow more then 15-20 clicks per day and then only 0.02% of visitors (if your lucky) buy or do something.
The end results, you�ll be buried/outbid by the big fish in no time resulting in your business being shut down.
Your statement is like saying (assuming we are talking about a brick and mortar business) "what do you need free word of mouth advertising. Simply use paid ads on papers and TV and that should do". Now YOU tell me what�s wrong with that statement.
If you�re a small developing business you will not be able to accommodate such expenses for too long. Not mentioning that it is 10 times harder to sell something online then it is in real world.

The Google brand was not built on advertising. It was built on PR. Yahoo was built on PR, Amazon was built on PR, Ebay was built on PR...
"If you�re a small developing business you will not be able to accommodate such expenses for too long. Not mentioning that it is 10 times harder to sell something online then it is in real world."
A so much agree with this statement. On the internet the visitor has much more control over their experience when visiting a web site. They don't have sales people helping them look for product. They can't hold, feel, and experienct the product first hand. They don't have this "real world" experience of being in a store: the smell, the look, the feel, and so on. They don't have a nice "themed" store to browse through just a 2 dimentional computer screen in which mall other sites share the same basic features, layouts, and such in which they can click away at anytime they feel like it. To leave a store you still got to walk through products and sales people. You still have the experience in leaving. This is why a building good solid well known brand should be a #1 priority.
max_mm - I dont know what industry you are in - but PPC at levels of $2.60 per click makes me a 200% return every month and has since AdWords first opened - so dont make asumptions based on just your inability to use the PPC model to it's fullest extent
Yes I�ve heard of such returns in the spyware, dating and sex industries.
Unfortunately my business is finance related.
And BTW Marval, why are you wasting your time on this thread (if you really get 200% return from PPC). What would YOU care about the recent Alegra update?
WOW 200% is a big number.....question asked? at the end of the month how many actual sales do you generate from ppc. Anyone Investing $100 and makes $300 sales at the end of the month can claim a 200% return. BUT are the number of sales enough to sustain your business long term. Do you get enough clicks/sales from PPC at the end of the day to realy make a difference. That�s my question. I suspect that the vast majority of webmasters would answer NO to that.
Steveb, LOL, I have to agree, every week I say to myself, OK, OK, I'll add msn to my search bar option list, I'll do some sample msn searches. I mean, I really try, I want to use it, but average time before giving up: 1 search. My site stats show the same patterns, msn referrals are down from when they were yahoo based. Other people seem to see different. But my sites were doing pretty well in msn for target keywords.
Scarecrow, interesting observations. I don't think the -asdf filter was giving just results from the second index, I think it was giving results from both, if that's what it was doing at all.
I still don't have a feel for this update, my sites are doing fine, traffic is rising, but I still can't really get what the change is, my first guess was they moved to a bigger index, merged the two indexes, imperfectly it looks like from what people are writing here and elsewhere. They have to go to something like a 40 bit index sometime, is it now?
Unless that is a typing mistake, you definitely have a problem with a) the quality of the links by which your visitors came, b) the usability of your website, c) the products/services you offer or d) your products/services' prices.
It may be different for highly expensive objects like life-insurances or real estates, but in ordinary shops the rate for sales per visitor should range from 0,5% to 3% if the four factors given above are within normal corridors.
The average webmaster will not be able to run or relay on PPC traffic alone to sustain his business without having free traffic to compliment sales.
Max_mm, wheather you can sustain yor business on only one segment or not is not relevant.
If your PPC or any other campaign alone is not profitable you simply cut it off, regardless of overal business performance.

Hasn't this gone on long enough? Can you please stop bickering and get back on topic? What has this thread got to do with the merits of PPC?
(Mods: Isn't it time this was wound up?)
Yet there are still sites ranking well that are almost identical to others. For some reason they are getting past the filter. They may, in time, also be be snagged. I'm surprised mine ranked well for as long as it did.
Yes it does. I wrote my post before I read yours. Wow!
And thinking about my incoming links ... the pages they are coming from have nothing to do with the subject of my pages.
Then maybe the Allegra update has nothing to do with dup content.
My site has gone down, the spam site is doing better.
It seems like whatever is going on is taking a very long time to fix, and people are asking me what's going on with Google, since they know I have a website. Seems a lot of people are taking notice new that Google has a problem...
Not to mention some explanation from Googleguy...
One of my sites which is on a very "niche" topic ranks at #1 in Google's SERP for the most logical key phrase ("key word" which matches the domain name, keyword.com). There are only a handful of other sites linking to the site's home page and all the links to the site are good ones - i.e. from pages discussion related topics.
It seems correct that my site would rank first in the results for that phrase, but Google displays the site's "site map" page at the top of the SERP instead of the site's home page. As far as I know there are no links from other sites to the site map. The only links to it are in the footer of each of the site's pages.
That just doesn't seem right. :-)
Goo goo ga joob.

and that directory has more relevant inbound links? sorry but I don't buy it
Search for "michael jackson trial" (without quotes).
Heres what you get in first position (a redirect page):
"-Untitled Document-
Your browser should redirect you automatically. If not, please ..."
And when you click the link it takes you to a redirect page which then redirects you to a google error page (404).
CNN comes at position number 2.

1) Google.com just spits out raw spider data (the page in question displays a fresh cache date) before the data actually went via the algo check, filtering, PR and what have you process.
2) Major hiccup at googleplex. They are probably currently working on the problem and hopefully everything should return to normal soon.
I also noticed very little spider activity recently on the sites i lost rank on. Not sure it is related though. I think that what we are seeing is not a major algo update. It is just a matter of too much data to process or a major failure of some G components. The ones responsible for the algo, spam filters and PR crunching.
64.233.189.X results WON'T propagate because they are threatening google business model!
Googleguy will NOT answer any of your queries - he just won't get a permission to do that from shareholders!
Why on Earth should he teach you how to get your a**e out of this - he's not paid to do that. He and those 50 PH.D's are paid to devise elaborate methods to strangle SEO as a viable business!
You don't like SERPs - who gives a rat's ass as long as Joe Dow finds what he wants through adwords and not organic SERPs.
It took them years to captivate Joe Dow and they are NOT going to lose him as long as Joe finds what he want and Joe is not bothered if he clicks on the links below the search field or the links to the right and finds what he wants. Google does bother though...
Just wait until Billie integrates MSN into the Longhorn and then there's a chance of changing Joe Dow's behaviour. New MSN is old sweet pre-florida google that we all loved to bits.
