Just after the Phone Co-op started supplying telecommunications services in 1998, one of our first elected directors was contacted by her former telecoms provider, asking why she had left them. Her response was: "It's OK, we're doing it ourselves now." This undoubtedly reflected her dry sense of humour. It also gave voice to one of the most powerful concepts that motivates people to start and be involved in co-operatives. Co-ops are businesses where, instead of people having things done to (or for) them by others, members take their destiny in their own hands and shape the businesses that serve them.
The question of how this works when co-operatives achieve scale is not new. Until the mid-20th century elected board members had quasi-executive roles in many retail co-ops. This became increasingly impractical, so boards appointed executive management. Some of those they appointed did an excellent job. Others didn't serve them well.
When I first became involved in my local co-op in the 1980s, it was clear there was an endemic culture across much of the movement of self-serving management who had engineered tame boards. A number of corruption scandals followed. The chief executive and president of one large society served prison terms.
This led to a governance reform in the mid-1990s led by Bob Burlton, then chair of the forerunner of the movement's umbrella body, Co-operatives UK.
Thirty years ago the local co-op where I lived recruited only a few hundred members a year, and boards were elected by in-store ballots where few voted. It had almost become a secret society rather than a co-operative society embedded in its local community.
With the reforms, postal ballots became the norm, along with a focus on recruiting and engaging members. The successor to that same co-op now recruits tens of thousands of members a year, and 50,000 take part annually in voting in a strongly contested board election. There is a much clearer framework for the relationship between boards and management. Improvements followed, corruption scandals came to an end and there was a real sense of a better partnership between boards and executives in many societies.
But there were parts of the movement where this reform didn't take root. Under Peter Marks, the Co-operative Group pursued an aggressive acquisition policy, justified in his characteristically macho language by the need to "play in the premier league of retailers". Rather than delivering organic growth through an engaged membership, he went for a top-down, deal-driven strategy. The rest is history.
Lord Myners is right to observe that the board was collectively not up to the job of challenging Peter Marks. Few people with the experience and skills needed to do so were willing to spend years on committees building the support needed to reach that level. On a board of 20, it must have been easy for dissenters to be marginalised.
Not many in the co-op movement disagree that the group's governance needs reform. Lord Myners' plan draws on the continental model of two-tier governance in which a supervisory board oversees a management board. It is understandable that active members, seared by the experience of domineering management, question why the solution should lie in a structure that appears to hand even more power to technocrats. It is a shame that Myners, rather than recognising this and addressing it directly, has tried to portray the active members as self-serving: this doesn't do them justice. Their concerns are real and justified. Despite this, I believe his proposals can form the basis of a way forward.
All business owners (not just co-op members) face the challenge of stepping back, as their businesses grow, and handing more aspects of the running of it to people they believe they can trust. It is this trust that is the key. Co-ops have more complex objectives than a typical plc, which makes this harder. We need to have executives who fully buy into the business's distinct values and culture and the same will apply to professional non-executive directors. Lip service is not enough.
To give an approach based on Myners' proposals a chance, members (who, after all, own the business) need to hold the ultimate keys to their co-operative, and the upper tier needs to be supervisory rather than advisory. The structures need to be fashioned in a way that builds trust between the board, executives, and the proposed National Members' Council, rather than fostering conflict.
So Saturday's AGM should support the board's enabling motion, but as the start of the process rather than the end. That means trusting the members with ultimate control. Myners is right when he says that, without reform, the group risks serious decline. Co-operatives have enormous potential to enhance people's lives. We have to get the design of the UK's largest co-operative right so it can achieve its full potential.

Aoife had remained silent on her encounter with the Oracles, simply telling Shay and Rin which way they had to go—and waiting for the two men to figure out which way was northeast—and trying to get them as far from Ankora as possible. It was almost dark by the time they stopped, and their journey into the desert had left firewood sparse. The trio managed to pull together, though, but once again Shay and Rin had to be separated. As Aoife had discovered, during her time in the Order's home, their brief period of amicability had come to its end. Neither was quite sure what had sparked the argument this time, but needless to say their constant warring was beginning to grate on everyone's nerves.
The orphan knew she should tell Rin of the Order's interest in him, but she didn't dare sully his mood further that night. They had all been through enough that day, and her bad news—was it bad? She wasn't entirely sure—could wait until morning. Much as she wished she could ignore it, she had more pressing matters to attend to with Shay who, as per usual, lay half asleep in their shared tent, feet angled towards the fire. He'd told her before that, the way he saw it, he had hair to keep his head warm, clothes and blankets to keep his body warm, but nothing for his feet. As good a job as shoes did, they weren't comfortable to sleep in, so the fire would have to do instead. When faced with the choice of lying beside him, or lining herself up with his feet, it came as no surprise that she slept with her feet to the fire too.
"Shay, can I ask you something?" she asked, resting on one elbow, head propped up on her wrist.
"Mm," was all he gave in response, but the orphan took it as a sign she should continue. She was used to Shay being a man of few words by then, and it didn't take much practice to understand him.
"What's the one thing in life you want to do before you die?"
She knew the topic was a morbid one but it was something that had been plaguing her mind for a while. Once upon a time, she had thought reading from the oldest book in the Great Library was her purpose in life, but now she wasn't so sure. It wasn't the words of the Oracle that had changed her mind, nor those of the matron demons in Ankora, but she wondered all the same. Call them the daydreams of a silly girl, but she couldn't help but wonder if she had some greater purpose in life beyond a golden city and a rich man.
"I don't know, Aoife," Shay said tiredly, eyes still firmly shut. "Marry a nice girl, make a shit ton of money and move to the Kaíri Islands."
It took a lot for the Olmaean not to laugh at his poor joke. Marriage was far from the top of his interests, and as for money it wasn't great amounts that intrigued him, just enough to live comfortably. As for the Kaíri Islands? He could but dream, though given his experience in the East so far, he wasn't so sure he'd take to them. If he could ever go back, he knew he'd most likely live out the rest of his days in Olmaea, in the slums, and frankly as long as he had enough to feed and clothe himself, he would be content.
"You, married? I'd like to meet the woman that can tame you," Aoife said with a smile, though it faded sooner than she would have hoped at the idea of Shay with another woman. "Be serious, though. What could you die happy having done?"
"I said I don't know, Aoifs. Talk like that's for people that live long, happy lives. People like me don't get that."
"People like you?" Aoife asked, not sure what he meant.
"Folks from the slums."
Aoife didn't comment on it, for fear of never finding anything else out, but that single comment was the most Shay had ever revealed about himself. So he was from the slums. That explained his attitude and poor manners. The idea of there being slums in Olmaea was a strange one to the orphan. There was nothing of the sort in Eturia, as far as she was aware, and she simply couldn't fathom living conditions in a city being worse off than Karasti or something of equal measure.
"Is that why you never take anything seriously?" the orphan asked, though there was nothing chastising in her question.
"No one from the slums takes anything seriously. We don't live long enough to do that."
"What do you mean?"
It wasn't the first time Aoife had heard Shay talk about things like this. He'd frequently spoken of his life being half over, but the men and women in Eturia had lived to as old as seventy, sometimes even eighty. Shay had a long way to before his life was half over.
"People don't live long in the slums, Aoife. I mean, look at me, I'm twenty three, I've got maybe another twenty years in me? And my mother? She's thirty eight now. If I ever go back, I don't know if she'll be alive or dead."
Thirty eight? That meant she'd only been fifteen when she'd had Shay. How scandalously young. Aoife could only assume Shay's mother hadn't been married when Shay was born either. Perhaps that was why people in the slums had such short lives, according to Shay anyway—they were in such a hurry to grow up that they sped up the aging process and halved their lifespan.
"You must spend a lot of time doing things you enjoy, then," Aoife said rather naively.
Shay snorted out a laugh. "Hobbies are for the rich, Aoife. You either spend your time begging, or you spend your time working. Why are you so interested all of a sudden?"
Shay had opened his eyes then. Just like usual, it always took him a while to fully awaken, and until then his eyes would remain firmly shut. It was almost like watching a machine starting up, with those first few seconds of half life extended to a few minutes in the Olmaean's case. Unlike a machine, however, which ran on full steam at all times, Shay would remain lifeless in action for a few minutes more, as if he still needed time to charge.
"Because being in that pyramid made me realise something," Aoife said, her free hand moving from its resting place at her side to somewhat absently fiddle with Shay's hair, hoping he would get the message.
"Aoife, you're a very beautiful girl—"
"That won't save my life if I'm in danger, Shay," she protested. "In that pyramid, I thought I was going to die. But do you know, it wasn't Niamh or Sister Ciara I was thinking of, it was you."
Shay was interested in the girl, there was no denying that, and he'd certainly bedded younger than her before, but he knew her type too well. The pious girls always wanted a husband at the end of it. They wanted a quick fumble in the sheets that would lead to a roof over their head and someone to share a bed with at night. They wanted a man that could father their children, and be a father to their children. But that wasn't Shay. He wasn't husband material, and he certainly wasn't father material. He was just Shay Tanner, infamous in his district for fucking and fighting. And frankly that was all he would ever be. His home may change, but he never would, and he had grown tired of the look of disappointment in his paramours' eyes when they realised that.
"I know what you must think of me, but I've thought very hard about this," Aoife continued. "Believe me, I've thought very hard about this. It compromises all my morals, and all my beliefs but… I've come to the very harsh realisation that we might not survive this, and if I am to die… I wish to die a woman."
"Last I checked, Aoifs, you are a woman," Shay joked, earning himself a playful slap on the arm.
"Be serious, Shay," Aoife scolded, though her smile betrayed her. "The Sisters told me that from the moment a girl first flowers, she is a woman in the eyes of the Maker, but… I don't feel much like a woman for it."
Much as Shay wanted to pretend he understood, he had no idea what she was talking about. He'd heard finer society had laid out certain expectations of its people that defined when girls were women and when boys were men, but it all sounded absurd to him. The way he saw it, if it looked like a woman and it sounded like a woman, then it was a woman. The same applied to men. Would high society still call a thirty year old a boy if he had not met their requirements?
"Women get married and have children, women look after homes or they become scholars or cooks or maids or anything. Women… Women lay with their husbands, but… I don't have a husband." She paused a moment, trying desperately to hold Shay's gaze despite the fact he wouldn't look at her. She could only imagine what he must think of her. "I don't have a husband, but I do have you. If you'd let me, I mean."
Shay let out a sigh. He never thought he'd see the day that he didn't want to sleep with a pretty girl—and Maker, did he want to sleep with Aoife—but there was too much at stake here. He might not have understood it himself, but he knew women like Aoife, and bedding them only led to things getting messy. They were stuck together until they found this 'golden city' and he already had Rin angry at him. He didn't need two people sour with him when they were stuck together for Maker knows how long.
And yet, somehow he knew she would get her way regardless. She had gotten this far on willpower alone, and women like that were deadly. He had known women like that in the slums, who had risen from surviving on table scraps to dining in the lap of luxury through willpower alone. They had willed it, and had not stopped until it had been so. Of course, what lay between their legs had been tied to their will, but they had still gone to any means to see their intentions through to the end. If he would not grant Aoife her wish, she would go to Rin, and the Olmaean knew he would never refuse. If there was any pair they could not afford to have warring with each other, it was those two. In that respect, he would act as the lesser of two evils. Better to further aggravate Rin against himself, than to have the Westerner fighting with both of them.
There were no words exchanged between the two of them to voice Shay's consent as he slipped into a routine that was becoming all too common on this journey. He wouldn't complain—he would never complain about sex—but this pattern of bedding virgins was beginning to bore him. Most virgins, as Aoife was proving, were too timid and too nervous, and for all her looks and that oh so satisfying body of hers, Shay still found himself thinking of the Oracle. The way she had moved, the eagerness with which she had thrown herself into things. She and Aoife were polar opposites, and what he would have given to trade their places and have the Oracle beneath him instead.
Sex was sex at the end of the day, though, and the Olmaean enjoyed it all the same. Judging by the quiet moans trickling from Aoife, she had enjoyed it too, and by morning the two were sated and filled with a new sense of fulfillment. Rin, however, was not in such high spirits.
Had Aoife thought to check on him before she made her intentions known to Shay, she would have seen that her friend was still awake, and while his tent was far enough away that he and Shay couldn't cause trouble for each other, it was not so far removed that he could not hear them. He knew Shay was interested in her, and he knew he'd had ample opportunity to do as Shay had said and make his feelings known, but for the brute to do something like that? To take Aoife's virtue when they both knew damn well he was going to discard her like a piece of rubbish the first chance he got? It wasn't gentlemanly, but more importantly it was immoral.
And perhaps what made it worse was the fact that Aoife couldn't see that. The next morning, as they had headed further into the desert, she had fawned over him like some lovesick maid, and Shay had simply allowed her to continue. He hadn't set her right, told her it was all a ploy and to stop simpering like some common whore, but instead had simply gone along with her games. He never responded much, and Rin supposed he could thank him for that, but a lack of response was worse than a truthful one.
The heat in the desert only seemed to increase with each step they took. On the very edges of the River Aur, as Ankora and Medara were, the heat was stifling and it was a miracle that anyone survived it, but the towns were offered a brief respite in the form of the breeze that rolled out from the river. The closer they wandered to the heart of the desert, to Tarşehir, the more still the air became and the higher the temperature soared. With Ankora behind them, and Tarşehir ahead of them, the signs of civilisation dwindled until nothing surrounded them but sand dunes that seemed to go on for miles. No matter which way they looked, all there was was mountains of baking, golden sand, and that ever present sun soaring high in the sky. What had once served as a beacon of hope was now a giant torment floating in the sky like a great fiery balloon. If he could, Shay would have very much liked to burst it and be done with it.
As the dunes began to further envelop the trio, it was becoming all too apparent how difficult it was to discern one's direction of travel without any landmarks. Since he was the only one with any proficiency in the skill—a proficiency that was rather lacking and was only considered the greatest when compared with the other two's lack entirely—it was up to Rin to ensure they stayed true to their course. Whenever asked, he would enthusiastically assure the asked that they were firmly set on their course for Tarşehir, but in the quiet of his own mind he wasn't so sure. Without any landmarks he had nothing to work with, save for the sun and shadows, and even then he wasn't sure what meant what. For all he knew, they were drifting in circles like they had in Ankora, and this time he wasn't so sure he could bring things around.

The Mortgage Relief Act of 2007 and the Rescue Act of 2008
Too little, too late.
In an attempt to ameliorate the effects of the subprime mortgage loan crisis on the American homeowner, Congress enacted and the President signed into effect two key pieces of legislation. First, in December 2007, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 (Mortgage Relief Act) was enacted. While the Mortgage Relief Act includes a host of provisions not connected to mortgage forgiveness relief, it excludes from gross income, the discharge of "qualified principal residence indebtedness." In July 2008, the American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008 (Rescue Act) was enacted. The Rescue Act also carries a number of tax changes, including, but not limited to, tax breaks for first-time homebuyers.
The Mortgage Relief Act of 2007
Specifically, under the Mortgage Relief Act, the discharge of "qualified principal residence indebtedness" is excluded from gross income. Code §108(a)(1)(E). Qualified principal residence indebtedness is acquisition indebtedness under Code §163(h)(3)(B) with respect to the taxpayer's principal residence. Taxpayers may exclude debt forgiven on their principal residence, if the balance on the loan was less than $2 million or $1 million for married individuals filing separate returns. The debt must have been used to buy, build or substantially improve the taxpayer's principal residence and debt must also be secured by the residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring may also qualify for relief. But relief generally does not extend to any increase in the original mortgage balance as a result of refinancing. However, the exclusion does not apply to the discharge of a loan if the discharge is due to any other factor not directly related to a decline in the value of the residency or the taxpayer's financial condition. If a taxpayer elects to exclude the cancelled mortgage income under the qualified principal residence exclusion, the basis of the taxpayer's principal residence is reduced by the excluded amount, but not below zero.
Alternatively, an insolvent taxpayer may elect to rely on the Code §108(a)(1)(B) exclusion for insolvent taxpayers instead of applying the mortgage forgiveness exclusion apply. Code §108(a)(2).
When and How to Claim the Debt Relief
The discharge must occur on or after January 1, 2007 and before January 1, 2010. However, if the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 is enacted, the Mortgage Relief Act of 2007 would extend relief from cancellation of indebtedness income through 2012.
The debt relief can be claimed on Form 982, which was released earlier this year. IRS cautions borrowers to pay particular attention to the amount of debt forgiven and the fair market value reported on the Form 1099-C received from the lender. News Release 2008-17 (December 2, 2008). If the taxpayer does not agree with the lender's assessment of fair market value, it would be recommended that an evaluation by an independent appraiser be made.
The Rescue Act of 2008The Rescue Act provides first-time homebuyers a refundable tax credit for qualifying purchases of principal residences after April 8, 2008 and before July 1, 2009. Eligible homebuyers may claim a refundable tax credit equal to the lesser of 10 percent of the purchase price of a principal residence or $7,500 ($3,750 for married individuals filing separately). See Code §36.
Phase-Out of Credit
The credit phases out for individuals with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) between $75,000 and $95,000 during the year of the purchase. MAGI is adjusted gross income for the tax year increased by certain amounts excluded from gross income, (e.g. foreign earned income and foreign housing exclusions, income derived from American Samoa) or income from Puerto Rico. Code §36(b)(2).
First-Time Homebuyer and Qualifying Home
A taxpayer is considered a first-time homebuyer if he had no present ownership interest in a principal residence in the United States during the three-year period prior to the purchase of the home to which the credit applies. Code §36(c)(1). Thus, a prior owner of real estate may qualify if the three-year test is met. IR-2008-106.
A home purchase qualifies only if: (1) the property is not acquired from a person related to the buyer and (2) the basis of the property in the hands of the buyer is not determined by reference to the adjusted basis of the property in the hands of the person from whom it was acquired or under Code §1014(a) (property acquired from a decedent). Code §36(c)(3).
A home under construction is considered "purchased" by a taxpayer on the date he first occupies it. Code §36(c)(3)(B). Thus, it would be wise for taxpayers to fix the completion date of a home under construction to allow time to occupy it prior to July 1, 2009.
When and How to Claim the Credit
Eligible homebuyers may claim the credit in 2008 for qualifying purchases in 2009. Thus, in certain cases, one may be able to get a refund of the credit shortly after the purchase closes. Code §36(g).
The credit can be claimed on the new Form 5404, which will be released shortly.
Credit Recapture
The credit for new homebuyers is recaptured ratably over 15 years, with no interest charge, beginning with the second tax year after the year the credit is claimed. As IR-2008-106 stresses, the credit for new homebuyers is the same as a long-term interest-free loan from the government.
There are a number of exceptions to the regular recapture rule that result in accelerated recapture. If the taxpayer who claimed the credit on an individual return dies, the remaining credit is not recaptured. However, if the taxpayer claimed the credit on a joint return, the regular and accelerated recapture rules would apply to the surviving spouse for one-half of the remaining repayment amount.
The same rule applies to the transfer of the residence to a former spouse incident to divorce. If the taxpayer who had claimed the credit, sells the home or no longer uses the home as a principal residence before complete repayment of the credit amount, any remaining portion of the credit amount is due when the tax return for the year in which the home is sold (or ceases to be the principal residence). If the home is sold, the amount of the credit repayment amount cannot exceed the gain, if any, computed by reducing the home's basis by the amount of the credit amount due.Finally, the accelerated recapture amount rules do not apply if the home is involuntarily converted and a replacement residence is purchased within a two-year period of the date of conversion. In that event, the regular recapture rules apply to the replacement home.
ConclusionWhen you stand back, it appears that the provisions granting relief from cancellation of debt-income for principal residences and the first-time homebuyer's credit foster the very evils that lead to the subprime crisis. Neither provision makes the homeowner accountable or responsible. The relief from cancellation of debt income provides an incentive for a taxpayer to over-leverage the purchase of a home and then to walk away from his/her indebtedness if s/he cannot make the mortgage payments. In addition, the first-time homebuyer credit allows taxpayers to over-leverage the purchase of a home without any accountability as to whether the taxpayer will be able to pay the mortgage.

Given with any situation, he can handle anything. He often lives in the mystery, living in the darkness sometimes. People love him as people love the ocean. He might be purely evil like Lucifer inside, but for all we know, he is the nicest guy. But there is always more to him than we might think. Either way, that guy is a bro

The Interior Ministry said no link had been established between the bomb and the two recent explosions in Paris which killed seven people and injured more than 100. But it did not say that such a link had been excluded.
The device was spotted by the driver of a Lyons-Nantes express on Saturday morning, and all traffic on the route was stopped while the bomb was defused and the line checked. A fault in the triggering mechanism was said to have prevented it from exploding.
As many as 15 trains were said to have passed the place where the bomb was planted, close to one of the biggest junctions in the TGV network, before it was seen. The device also was not detected by the inspection train that checks the track at the start of each day. From yesterday, the inspection trains were to be double-manned, with a crew member detailed to watch specifically for obstacles.
Officials in the region introduced additional security measures, announcing both mobile and fixed patrols along rail lines, air surveillance, and other measures left undisclosed.
The possibility of an attack on a TGV has been at the back of the French authorities' minds for some time. After the second recent Paris bombing, close to the Arc de Triomphe on 17 August, new security measures were introduced at all main railway stations. Now, only those with tickets for the train which is about to depart are allowed on to platforms, and their luggage is checked. Left-luggage lockers and litter bins at railway stations were closed after the first bomb, at Saint-Michel station on 25 July.
While the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA), which is widely held responsible for the other attacks, is bound to be a favourite suspect for the TGV bomb, there is always the possibility of bombings by other groups which are hostile to the French government. These would include the Corsican and Basque separatists, and anti-nuclear protesters.
n The official opening of the Planet Hollywood restaurant next Sunday has been indefinitely postponed at the request of the Paris police chief because of security worries. Dozens of American film stars were to have attended a party in the Champs-Elysees.

I'm a college student who used to stay at the hair salon.......but now doesnt have time too go, so i now do my own hair. i wanted too by a well know product with a low price and gives great results.....i purchased tresemme because it's used by professional and is recommend. its a great product, a big bottle for a low price and works great on my hair type: frizzy, dry, damage, breakage, and thick!!! there are many products so shop by your hair type
I recently started, after many years of color treating my hair with over the counter products, bleaching my hair platinum blonde. Although I have always taken fairly good care of my hair and it was in fairly good shape when I started the bleaching, I knew that I was facing some dryness and brittleness from all the coloring and now the bleaching. I was told by my stylist that if I could not afford the high end shampoos and conditions to try Tresemme products as he said they were as close to salon quality as I could get for a reasonable price. I bought the Breakage Defense conditioner and have noticed that I have not had any breakage since using this awesome product!! I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is considering coloring or bleaching their hair. Next I will be trying the shampoo for color treated hair. I can't wait to try!! This product truly lives up to its name!! Thankyou Karolj210
This conditioner is one of my all-time favorites, as is the matching shampoo. I have extremely long hair that's almost to knee-length and so it happens that I use a lot of shampoo and conditioner. My hair's in good condition but does need extra moisture and this conditioner does an amazing job, especially for the value! I used to buy salon brand products but as much as I use, it got quite expensive, so I was excited to try something from Tresemme. I was not disappointed! This works much, much better than all those expensive salon products I've tried and the amount of product for the money is unbelievable! One bottle lasts for weeks; unheard of for me. It's got a light, pleasing scent and isn't too runny or too thick; just right for easy, even application. It rinses out beautifully and leaves the perfect amount of moisture for silky hair without making it greasy or oily.
really good conditioner. it moistens your scalp and hair really well, soothing the dry achiness of stress.
My hair is naturally dark brown, and I lighten/bleach all my hair. I used to use Joico K-Pack Reconstructor and Joico K-Pack Intense Hydrator, and NOW I'VE BEEN USING Tresemme's Split Remedy Shampoo, Split Remedy Conditioner, and Split Remedy Leave In Conditioner & Split Remedy Sealing Serum, and Tresemme's Split Remedy has significantly decreased my hair breakage. I read the ingredients on the back of Tresemme's Split Remedy products, and they put a lot of Hydrolyzed Keratin, Protein, Dimethicone, Panthenol, Biotin, and several other ingredients that significantly increase your hair's strength. The ingredients are almost identical to Joico's K-Pack Reconstructor collection, AND Tresemme's Split Remedy Collection is affordable. As you can probably already tell that I love Split Remedy by Tresemme because it has actually helped my hair!!!!!
I don't remember exactly when I started using this formula but it works like magic! I started using it either late last year or around the beginning of this year. I decided to let my hair grow out for my Halloween costume this year. Ordinarily, my hair grows very slowly. But since I started using this formula, my hair has been growing like a weed. I usually keep my hair just above my bra strap and now it's 2-3 inches past that. I usually have my hair cut once a year in Nov, and at the most, only have an inch cut off. Now I can't wait until Nov. because my hair is driving me up the wall! The lack of breakage is astounding. I guess it has grown faster because it's healthier now and it's hanging on longer than it used to. I've also been using the Split End Serum with it, so that helps too.
If you color your hair often, highlight or color, and/or have curly/wavy/thick/course hair, USE THIS PRODUCT! It makes it SOOO simple & easy when it dries! If you are letting your hair dry naturally, or diffusing it or drying it in any way, it will make it all so much easier! Give yourself a break and use this product! You will not regret it! you can also use it as leave in conditioner as well! I do both! rinse and then put a small amount back in my hair right out of the shower! excellent! Don't need to use any other products with it! But I would say use the Silky Smooth Tresemme Shampoo! VERY nice combination together! <3
I have had problems with split-ends for years!! I desperately try not to expose my hair to heat but I wind up blow drying it almost everyday and straightening it every other. I try all different treatments, shampoos, deep-contioners, and none of them ever seem to work. I bought this product yesterday and the bottle says you can see changes in 3 uses. Honestly after the first use of both the shampoo AND conditioner my hair looks so amazing. The split ends seemed to have almost all disappear. I highly recommend this product to any woman out there who is fighting the battle of split-ends! This is your answer!!
I LOVED, LOVED the conditioner! It was amazing to my hair. My hair literally drank it. Before i started using this product my hair was sooooo dry and brittle from constantly dying my hair blonde so frequently. My hair was so prone to breaking very easily. One day a friend of mine was playing with my hair and commented on how my hair strands felt bumpy rather than smooth and silky like hers did; that was the day i noticed how severely damaged my hair was. Once i used this product along with the shampoo within a month i would say my hair felt and looked smoother than what it had previously.
This is a good conditioner - it does what it says. I'm a 16 year old girl with pretty thick hair. I noticed an immediate difference in how much hair I lost when I showered. However, I had just switched from the Moisture conditioner, and noticed that the anti -breakage conditioner did not leave my hair as soft or manageable. My hair seemed thicker, which is not what I'm going for since my hair is already very thick. I might buy more of this though, just to use occasionally to strengthen my hair because I do lose a lot of hair. But I'm going back to the moisture conditioner.
My hair stylist even said "Wow your hair is so strong, it's barely breaking! Like little to no breakage!"
Tresemme-Anti breakage is a product i have used for a very long time. It makes my hair constantly grow and keeps it healthy. Also it last for a long time. Since it comes in such big bottles and you have to use so little, you do not run out of it as quickly. In all honesty there are not many bad things about Tresemme-anti breakage, if any at all. The only thing i believe is wrong with this shampoo is how much it costs. Other than that Tresemme is a great product that smooths and keeps my hair healthy. It also makes it grow several inches.
I have used every shampoo and conditioner on the market, from those found in salons to drug stores. I have long, thick, curly/wavy, crazy hair. My hair was in terrible shape due to coloring and styling. This anti breakage line really brought my hair back to a healthy, shinny state after just one week of use. I switch up on Tresemme's shampoos and conditioners, I love them all! I wont use anything else. I also love all of the styling products and hair sprays. I give this two thumbs up!
If you have sensitive skin don't even bother getting this product. It did help my split ends, but it was too harsh for my scalp. It also made my hair fall out (I'm thirteen, that's not supposed to happen!!!) And as soon as I switched shampoo my hair stopped falling out. Also when I used it I had to alternate with dandruff shampoo, now I use the burtsbees pomegranate shampoo and conditioner and I no longer have to alternate with dandruff shampoo.
I have been using Tresemme's shampoo and conditioner for years! It is my absolute favorite hair care product. I use the anti breakage conditioner because I have long hair and I am constantly letting it grow and occasionally donate my hair for children with cancer. Tresumme's products keep my hair looking great and growing strong. Best of all the price is great. For me, there is nothing better. I highly reccomend it to anyone!
The formula is so lightweight that my hair still has it's volume afterwards. I don't see much results on repairing split ends... But I love it anyways! It moisturizes my hair, making it look smooth, healthy, and shiny! I damage my hair like everyday: curling, straightening, blow drying, teasing. My poor hair! This product makes it feel as if I don't damage it as much as I do. I love it! And the smell is great too :D
Works as described! When times got a little tough with money, I had to cut back on using expensive products. I started using this conditioner along with the corresponding shampoo. It works perfectly fine and keeps my hair from breaking! Will continue to use.
All the Tresemme shampoos and conditioners are very high quality products which can be found at value prices when shopping with Wal-Mart. Other retailers have occasional sales at similar pricing but Wal-Mart has a great price on the 32oz size every day.
i am very concerned about my hair. i want it to be healthy and i dont want my hair to break off the way my mom's does now. :) i used this along with the shampoo and i went totally crazy :) i instantly felt a difference in my hair and i continue to use it now... although i would like to mend my split ends, i'll continue to use this collection until i run out. :)
It made a huge difference in my hairs health! I have extremely dry ends and an oily scalp but this shampoo seemed to deep clean without stripping, and moisturized my dry brittle ends. I love to blow dry and straighten my hair constantly so this is a must have in my shower. It works wonders!

Garlin and Silverman: America's New Sweethearts?
Plucky and sharp-tongued, vulnerable and sweet little Veneloppe in the new animated kid-hit Wreck-It Ralph may be Sarah Silverman's most winning work to date. It's such a endearing performance, Silverman is sure to gain new fans. The comedian/actress has been a lot of things – sitcom star, mouthy standup trouble-starter, slacker second banana, and her much-rumored upcoming NBC sitcom will be as uncompromising as her career has been. She sits down with Jeff Garlin – the pair starred in a indie film he wrote and directed, 2006's I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With – for "By The Way, Jeff Garlin In Conversation with Sarah Silverman" to talk about dog-knows- what, but you can count on some biting show-biz hoo-ha-ery. Largo at the Coronet, 366 N. La Cienega Blvd.; Mon., Nov. 19 8:30 p.m.; $30. (310) 855-0350.

Greetings From Beautiful (And Rainy) Singapore!
Posted by Joanna O'Connell on May 24, 2011
- 518 Recommendations
- 0 comments
I've been given the privilege of traveling to Singapore this week to participate in an Audience Targeting Summit being presented by Microsoft. As audience targeting is a subject that's near and dear to my heart (see The Audience Targeting Imperative), I'm very excited to have been asked by Microsoft to participate.
I'm also excited to experience such an interesting non-US market firsthand. I'm already learning a great deal about the unique challenges and obstacles faced by marketers and agencies in the Asia Pac region. For instance, creating a cohesive, multichannel digital marketing campaign when you're trying to coordinate efforts across a handful of countries, all with different languages, processes and rules is really challenging. (One great place to start, I was told -- and I couldn't agree more -- is to focus on creating a baseline level of continuity in measurement through the rollout of a common set of metrics and definitions).
On that note, I'll be extremely interested to learn more about the audience targeting landscape here -- and its accompanying challenges and opportunities -- at the Microsoft event this Friday.
In the meantime, I'll keep my ear to the ground for other interesting insights that I can share with the Forrester Interactive Marketing community!

It's the ultimate dilemma: would you rather live a long life without any sex or die young and have it off till you drop?
It sounds like one of those pointless conundrums you pose to your mates down the pub but the predicament is closer to reality than you might think.
According to a recent study into the lifespans of Korean eunuchs who were castrated in boyhood, the eunuchs lived, on average, a lot longer than their less testicularly-challenged compatriots.
The study compared the lives of 81 eunuchs who served the Korean royal family between the 14th and 20th centuries with those of three families of testicle-endowed males living in similar social conditions. The results showed that the eunuchs lived an average of 70 years whereas the sexually active men only managed an average of 56 years, a huge 14-year difference.
The sample of eunuchs also contained a disproportionately large number of men living to over a hundred – at least 30 times greater than the modern day percentage of men who become centenarians. All of which, though scientifically inclusive, supports the idea that being sexless prolongs life.
That's the science out of the way, now we can get back to the pointless pub conundrums. So here's one for the men: would you prefer to be castrated now and be guaranteed a fit, healthy and active life to over a hundred, or die in ten years time but get to sow your wild oats like Ghengis Khan on a Viagra drip feed?
When I thought about this myself my initial response was instant and, I'm guessing, typical: live fast and die young baby!... rock n roll!... shagging!...yeah!... etc etc.
But when I actually started to consider the issue in a little more depth, the advantages of being freed from sex started to become more apparent. Foremost among them was the amazing amount of time it would free up to do more constructive things, a lot more time than you might initially think. It wouldn't just involve all the time spent actually having sex but also the time spent thinking about having sex, planning how next to have sex, reminiscing (either fondly or ruefully) on the last time you had sex or generally regretting the fact that you're not having sex. That's a lot of time and a lot of cogitating.
Which reminds me of the famous statistic that men think about sex every seven seconds. We are like goldfish swimming around in a bowl, constantly on the brink of doing something positive like repainting the living room but then thinking "ooh, breasts". Imagine how much decorating we would get done without those seven-second brain resets.
And that's not all. Apart from vast swathes of time we spend thinking about sex there's also the time we spend doing things that are secondarily related to sex, like going out for example. We may tell ourselves that going out is all about "the craic" or seeing our mates, or letting off steam or having a laugh but let's really face the music on this one, no matter what we tell ourselves, the main reason single men go out is sex. Why else would we spend all our wages on double-priced, half-quality beer in order to not hear what anyone is saying in an overcrowded, over-heated, smelly environment with a latent threat of violence hanging over proceedings?
And it's not just in our social lives that we waste time on sex. Our day-to-day existences are filled with seconds, minutes and hours of nonsensical, sex-related baggage that, over a lifetime, adds up to days and weeks and months. Thousands of minutes spent on mindless, 'flirty' conversations, on trying to decode enigmatic looks or comments, on hopelessly replaying scenarios in our minds. Hundreds of hours spent cooking over-ambitious and ultimately insipid meals, on deciphering baffling menus, on choosing flowers that don't symbolically mean you want an immediate break up. Millions of wasted micro-seconds glancing at women while walking down the street, at work, eating lunch, on the bus. All that wasted time that could have been spent taking in the surroundings or thinking about something really profound or useful like how the living room needs... ooh, breasts.
Okay, I've made my point, men spend a lot of time doing sex-related activities. So what if you decided to reclaim all those lost hours, to take the plunge and lose the danglies? What would you actually do with all that time suddenly on your hands - resort to philately? (that's stamp-collecting by the way, not an attempt to self-administer oral sex).
Well, you might write a book. It wouldn't exactly be Fifty Shades of Grey and would actually have no appeal whatsoever because of your inability to write love scenes or romantic plot lines, but at least you could tick the whole book-writing thing off the list.
You could go back to university and study a subject that really interests you, secure in the knowledge that you would actually get a good mark because you would spend more than four hours a week in lectures and tutorials.
You could become a black belt at an exotic martial art or a sword master, then you could craft your own blade, and gain comfort from the fact that the combination of celibacy and homemade weaponry in some ways qualifies you as a Jedi.
You could invent something new, something simple and revolutionary like the zip or the tetri-pack and make millions while knowing that every day someone somewhere was being annoyed and/or injured by your device.
Most useful of all, you could spend hour upon hour surfing the internet, doing valuable research without once looking at porn.
The list goes on and on. There is literally no end to the amount of positive things that you could do with your life if you were emancipated from the tyranny of sex. When I think about it this way it almost makes me want to do something about it, not actually chop my own gonads off, of course, but in some way to try to be less pre-occupied with sex. I imagine it would lead to an incredibly relaxed state of mind not to have to think about sex every seven... ooh, breasts.Reuse content

I just wanted to live, unencumbered by feelings. See I'm no stranger to heart break but, I was a novice to love. You changed that, I know it was unintentional, still, it happened. I know my big mistake was not accepting, not recognizing, not relaxing and now, you're gone. I miss you Blue-Eyes, I love you Blue-Eyes, I wait Blue-Eyes... "For You"

"That's what I spent my whole life in pursuit of, was security," Ms. Reid said. "Until the last few years, I felt very secure in my job."
As an auditor, Ms. Reid loved figuring out the kinks in a manufacturing or parts delivery process. But after more than 20 years of commuting across Puget Sound to work at Boeing, Reid was exhausted when she was dismissed from her $80,000-a-year job.
Stunned and depressed, she sent out resumes, but figured she had a little time to recover. So she took vacations to Turkey and Thailand with her husband, who is a home repairman. She sought chiropractic treatments for a neck injury and helped nurse a priest dying of cancer.
Most of her days now are spent in front of a laptop, holed up in a lighthouse garret atop the house that her husband, Denny Mielock, built in the 1990s on a breathtaking piece of property overlooking the sound.
As she browses the job listings that clog her e-mail in-box, she refuses to give in to her fears.
"If I let myself think like that all the time," she said, "I could not even bear getting out of bed in the morning."
With her husband's home repair business pummeled by the housing downturn, the bills are mounting. Although the couple do not have a mortgage on their 3,000-square-foot house, they pay close to $7,000 a year in property taxes. The roof is leaking. Their utility bills can be $300 a month in the winter, even though they often keep the thermostat turned down to 50 degrees to save on heating costs.
They could try to sell their home, but given the depressed housing market, they are reluctant.
"We are circling the drain here, and I am bailing like hell," said Ms. Reid, emitting an incongruous cackle, as if laughter is the only response to her plight. "But the boat is still sinking."
It is not just the finances that have destabilized her life. Ms. Reid's husband worries that she isolates herself and that she does not socialize enough.
"We've both been hard workers our whole lives," said Mr. Mielock, 59.
Ms. Reid sometimes rose just after 3 a.m. to make the hour long commute to Boeing's data center in Bellevue and attended night school to earn a master's in management information systems.
"A job is more than a job, you know," Mr. Mielock said. "It's where you fit in society."
Here in the greater Seattle area, a fifth of those claiming extended unemployment benefits are 55 and older.
To help seniors polish their job-seeking skills, WorkSource, a local consortium of government and non-profit groups, recently began offering seminars. On a recent morning, 14 people gathered in a windowless conference room at a local community college to get tips on how to age-proof their resumes and deflect questions about being overqualified for jobs.
Motivational posters hung on one wall, bearing slogans like "Failure is the path of least persistence."
Using PowerPoint slides, Liz Howland, the chipper but no-nonsense session leader, projected some common myths about older job-seekers on a screen: "Older workers are less capable of evaluating information, making decisions and problem solving" or "Older workers are rigid and inflexible and have trouble adapting to change."
Ms. Howland, 61, ticked off the reasons those statements were inaccurate. But a clear undercurrent of anxiety ran through the room. "Is it really true that if you have the energy and the passion that they will overlook the age factor?" asked a 61-year-old man who had been laid off from a furniture-making company in October.
Gallows humour reigned. As Ms. Howland - who suggested that applicants remove any dates older than 15 years from their resume - advised the group on how to finesse interview questions like "When did you have the job that helped you develop that skill?" one out-of-work journalist deadpanned: "How about 'during the 20th century?"'Report Typo/Error

Google has just updated Google+ for iOS to the current version of 3.0. If there is still someone unaware, Google + is a social networking app enabling users to stay connected and share life as it happens. With Google + for iOS users are now able to join a hangout, post a photo, or see what friends are sharing while you're on the go with their iPhones and from now on- with the iPad too!
The iPad UI is almost identical to its Android tablet complement and takes full benefit of the iPad's 9.7-inch screen. Expectedly, Google + Events are also accurately integrated within the app. The incomplete list of Google + for iOS features include:
• Share photos directly to Events for all your friends to enjoy;
• Video chat with up to 9 friends with mobile Hangouts;
• Turn on Instant Upload to sync photos from your phone to a private Google+ album;
• Chat with a friend or all your friends at once with Messenger from your phone;
• Check out the What's Hot stream to see popular posts;
• View the Nearby stream to see what people near your location are saying and many more.
Along with the full iPad support, as we have already mentioned, the list of improvements added with the recent update include the instant photo upload attachment to the posts, Google + events and the ability to start and join hangouts with your iDevice. The app supports as many as 40 languages and is available in the Apple App Store for free.

Mumbai, Sep 18 (UNI) The new India coach would be selected by September 27, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Niranjan Shah said here today.
Speaking to mediapersons after the selection committee meeting here today, Mr Shah said they had asked interested candidates to submit their applications to the board by September 15 and we have received around 20 applications which would be forwarded to the committee set up to select a new coach.
He added the committee is likely to meet on September 27 and the applications would be scrutinised before arriving at a decision on who the new coach would be.
When asked whether the coach would be a foreigner or an Indian, selection committee chairman Dilip Vengsarkar, who was also present at the media briefing, intervened and said ''whoever it will be (foreign or Indian), I assure you that the person would be the best suited for the job''.

December 2011 Contest Sponsor For RHA - elearnSecurity
RewardsBefore we inform you about the Contest participation details, We would like you to know about the rewards and prizes which the winners will get their hands On.
[1ST PRIZE] Pentesting Pro Course [Worth 600$]
Pentesting PRO course is developed for ones who have some knowledge related to Ethical hacking and Penetration testing but would like to take their knowledge to the next level. In order to understand what's inside the Pentesting PRO course, I have conducted a short interview with the lead Instructor Mr.Armando.
What's the main difference b/w The Student Course And PRO Course?
The Student course has been created for someone completely new to penetration testing. We bring the student on basics on both aspects. The Student course aims at making the student comfortable with the Penetration testing process, its methodologies, from Information gathering to exploitation and teaching how to use the most important tools. Last but not least, I don't think there's another course with a more enjoyable learning experience than our course for beginners.
The Professional course is for someone with an experience in information security and un understanding of what penetration testing is. It's an extremely in depth course with a 100% hands on certification at the end. This course has been authored by three instructors and covers three sections: System Security, Network Security and Web application security.
For each of these sections the students will learn the most modern techniques professional penetration testers use to audit and exploit a local or a remote network.
You and me both know that, Pentesting In real world is far more difficult, Does your course provides the students to tackle in the realworld situations?.
Definitely. To get your eCPPT certification you not only have to perform areal penetration test, but you also have to produce a commercial grade report. We teach how to create an excellent report that speaks to the different levels of the client organization.
This is what happens in the real world and we tried to bring the real world into a certification exam, with great results so far.
What if some one has Zero knowledge related to Ethical hacking and Penetration testing?
Everyone at some point has zero knowledge on something. We don't claim to make anyone the no.1 hacker in the world by enrolling in our courses. However I know that this is the hardest job in the world and only a few manage to get a job in this field.
What you will need is perseverance, curiosity and a proven learning path.We can't do much about the first two but I can tell we provide great material and proven learning path.This minimizes the struggle that any beginner faces during early times and drastically increases the chances for him to succeed.In fact we have a big success rate among our beginners.
What could be the maximum level that a Student Achieve After completing both of Your Courses?
We have had students finding a job as Junior pentesters or advancing theircareers as Senior pentesters. Moreover with our labs, the students feels empowered with readily usable skills that can use in the everyday job.This is life changing in some way.
[2ND PRIZE] Pentesting Beginners Course Student [Worth 400$]
Elearn Security Beginners Course For Penetration Testers.
[3RD PRIZE] Pentesting Labs [RANDOM] [Worth 400$]
The winner will get 30 days access to the VPN labs. You will thrown into a real world environment where you can practice what you learned in the Penetration testing PRO course.
Every one participating in the contest will get 5% off on every thing he purchases from elearnsecurity before the 31st december.

Hi All,
I had to replace a bad lower intake manifold gasket.
I had no trouble taking everything apart. I replaced the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets, throttle body gasket, and valve cover gaskets.
I ran into a problem putting it all back together. Some of my labels on vacuum lines and hoses fell off. I can't figure out where they all go.
Does anyone have a quality diagram or know where I can get one. The under hood sticker is wrecked and no help.

This is a discussion on Have you CC'ed while injured? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I recently crashed on my mountain bike and cracked a rib. This is the 3rd time in the past 20 years that I have suffered ...
I recently crashed on my mountain bike and cracked a rib. This is the 3rd time in the past 20 years that I have suffered this type of injury and it will take me about 6 weeks to heal. I move slow, and hurt when I cough or sneeze. I would be a good target for a predator looking for easy prey, which is why I am more vigilant the ever. I always say that I would run for my life, now Id have to limp away! Im not taking anything stronger than Advil. If I needed something stronger, I wouldnt carry because I wouldnt be leaving the house. But in this injured state, I am more aware of how weakened I am and how I much more I depend on my CC weapon. Have you carried while injured? I thank to Second Amendment for the right to walk with confidence anywhere I might want to go.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Doing it right now.

Had the same injury you just described after getting bucked off the quarter horse outside wal mart. (Half of that is false)
Carrying truly only bothered me while seated in a vehicle as it hit my ribs just right. I also found it easier to breathe and less painful when I wrapped my ribs in vet wrap. (Much like an Ace Bandage but cheaper and disposable. Yes I know its for animals.)
I am right now too. I am 7 weeks out from falling on the ice and landing on my left elbow which broke the head of the humerus and tore the supraspinatus tendon (partial). The humerus broke where the tendon inserts. Just saw the doc today and things are going well, but there are certain movements that will bring tears to your eyes. I also can't bring my left hand into a shooting position and even if I did, the recoil would likely do damage.
At first, 7 weeks ago, I switched to a revolver as I could not rack the slide on my G30. I have gained some strength back and can now rack the slide, so I am carrying it again, but it is good to have options.

I am fortunate in that I am left handed. If they do have cut on my shoulder (left of course) I won't be able to draw. That means carrying on my right side. In all my holster shopping it has always been a challenge to find left handed holsters. Right handed ones I can get just about anywhere.
