BENICIA — Former Benicia Old Town Theater Group treasurer Kimble Goodman has been charged with embezzling more than $10,000 from the organization whose purse strings he controlled, it was learned Thursday.
Following an investigation that began in March, the Solano County District Attorney's office filed the criminal complaint Tuesday. Goodman, who also is president of the Solano County Civil Service Commission, is scheduled to be arraigned today at the Vallejo courthouse.
News of the allegations shocked and saddened members of the theater group, which is in its 50th season. The scandal also raised eyebrows at City Hall, where Goodman is widely known as an upstanding, active community member who is serving his second term on the Economic Development Board. Goodman has also been a volunteer docent at the Benicia Historical Museum and a board member for the Clay and Glass Arts Foundation.
On his 2008 board application, Goodman, 51, listed his occupation as a "project manager" in the banking industry.
Hartig said it is estimated that Goodman had allegedly obtained and used somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000 of the group's funds for his own personal gain. Before stepping down earlier this year, he had been the group's treasurer since 2010.
In a statement released Thursday, the theater group said it discovered suspicious activities regarding its finances in March.
"Following the replacement of our treasurer approximately one month ago, we discovered that our savings accounts had been emptied and our checking account had been massively overdrawn," the group said. "Many of our creditors had not been paid, and a number of bills were overdue."
"While we were aware for some time of the comprehensive investigations by the Benicia Police Department and the Solano County District Attorney ... we remained hopeful that the facts would not support a charge of embezzlement," the group said.
The group further announced it needs a lawyer or tax professional who can help sort out IRS issues "caused by this unfortunate situation."
The group added, "... if these charges are ultimately proven, we can only view his actions as devastating betrayal of the many volunteer hours and friendships that have been built up over the years."

HOUSTON - A man robbed a Spring bank on Friday afternoon.
FBI officials said a man walked into the Capital One Bank in the 1700 block of Louetta shortly before 1 p.m.
Detectives said the man pointed a gun at a teller at close range and demanded cash.
The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the robber left in a vehicle, which was found a short distance away, investigators said.
The robber was described as white and 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a blue suit, a yellow floppy hat, sunglasses and a blue bandanna over his face.

I am trying to better optimize my queries, and this is one that runs a ton...
SELECT trailers.trailer_id, trailers.trailer_title, films.film_title, films.image
FROM films,trailers,tags
WHERE tags.snub='$var'
AND tags.trailer_id=trailers.trailer_id
AND trailers.film_id=films.film_id
ORDER BY trailers.trailer_id DESC
This query uses three tables to get the information needed. Is this efficient?
All help appreciatedRyan
it uses three tables because apparently three tables are needed to satisfy the requirements
would JOINs make it more efficient? no, but it would sure make the query easier to understand and to maintain
could you show us the results of the EXPLAIN, please
A JOIN would properly implement ANSI-92 SQL, whereas you're currently using the ANSI-89 spec. It should improve perfornance a bit, as it will limit your hash by two dimensions at a time (it will first hash the first two tables and then the 3rd, rather than all 3 at once). You may be able to further control the hashing by using a V-sproc with sub-queries doing a primary hash and secondary hash in secluded scopes.
However, more than likely, if your query isn't performing well, you need to INDEX the keys that you're joining on (film_id and trailer_id in all tables as well as tags.snub)... that's the #1 reason a query runs too slowly, and will add huge increases in performance.
steve, not that i doubt what you're saying (because i can't understand it well enough to doubt it)...
... but could you give a reference or two for this hashing business? and how to determine whether to hash two tables or three?
also, what's a V-sproc? and how do you write a subquery to "do" a hash? and what the heck is a secluded scope (other than perhaps an observatory on a mountaintop)?
I definitely have all those columns indexed. Here is my explain:
1 SIMPLE tags ref trailer_id,snub snub 202 const 8696 Using where; Using temporary; Using filesort
1 SIMPLE trailers eq_ref PRIMARY,film_id PRIMARY 4 trailera_trailers.tags.trailer_id 1
1 SIMPLE films eq_ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 trailera_trailers.trailers.film_id 1
So 8696 x 1 x 1. Looks pretty good as is, right?
Hashing is the process of comparing multiple records from 2 tables. Say you have 10 records in each of the 3 tables... hashing them all together would result in 1000 results, which would all be compared against the where clause to filter the results. INNER JOINS could potentially get a query plan that filters the results of the first hash first, which could result in say 20 records hashed against the 2nd 10, instead of 100, which results in a total of 300 records getting hashed instead of 1000.
A V-sproc is a way of organizing joins in a stored procedure to force an optimized query execution plan. It would look like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE vsproc AS BEGIN
SELECT tr.*,
FROM tags AS t
INNER JOIN trailers as tr ON t.trailer_id = tr.trailer_id
AND t.snub='$var'
) AS tr
INNER JOIN films AS f
ON tr.film_id = f.film_id
ORDER BY tr.trailer_id DESC
Notice each "scope" only joins 2 tables. You start with the scope that will limit results the most, and increasingly expand # of comparisons on outer bands of the query. This is most effective when joining several tables... you can really optimize execution time a lot by controlling the order of filtering and not trusting the DB to optimize the plan itself (which fails without fail).
casb, can you also post a dump of your schema?
transio, nice explanation, but i think those methods went out of fashion once the database optimizer achieved some measure of competence beyond your rather pessimistic "fails without fail"
i would expect that your two-at-a-time-from-the-inside-out method will today produce the same execution path as what mysql would produce from the original query, applying the most restrictive constraint first, etc.
that's also how i like to code my complex joins, although i simply linearize them, i don't nest them -- most restrictive table first, and that's the table that has the WHERE clause condition
that's a red flag right there
it's caused by your ORDER BY
So any time Order By comes into play, some serious efficiency gets lost?
not every time, no -- just when the ORDER BY sequence is different from the sequence the data was retrieved in, and it has to put the intermediate rows somewhere
Ah, now I see what you mean.
Hmmm. Okay, let me see if I can grab these rows differently.

In several new studies about men, magnesium lowered chances of heart disease, those with higher calcium levels lived longer, and hawthorn reduced sudden cardiac death.
In a review of heart disease studies, researchers analyzed magnesium levels in people with or likely to develop coronary heart disease (CHD). While there was no link in women, men who consumed more magnesium were less likely to develop CHD than men with lower levels. "It is reasonable to encourage diets high in magnesium as a potential means to lower the risk of CHD," researchers concluded.
Researchers studying lifespan measured calcium in the diets of 23,366 men, aged 45 to 79, who did not take dietary supplements. Over 10 years of follow up, compared to men who consumed the least calcium, those who got the most calcium were 25 percent less likely to have died from any cause. Doctors said the highest amounts of calcium were nearly double the recommended 1,000 mg per day.
In a survival study, 2,252 men with congestive heart failure (CHF) added a standardized extract of hawthorn or a placebo to their drug therapy. In CHF, the heart does not pump enough blood to the body. After two years, while there was no difference in men with more severe CHF, among those with less severe CHF, the hawthorn group was 40 percent less likely to have died from sudden cardiac arrest compared to placebo.

Mark had a knack for gathering my friends and me, most of us 10 years his younger, for a game of football in the fall or baseball in the spring. And he was my own personal trainer, throwing me thousands of football passes or hitting me countless groundballs, trying to make me better.
But there was more to it than the game---something much larger than that. The sport was only an avenue enabling Mark to do something far more important than catching or throwing a ball.
Sometimes we print stories about health-related issues and how the county ranks among the rest of the state when it comes to healthy lifestyles.
While I agree that most of us need to make exercise and eating right more of a priority, I can't say I've been leading by example.
My diet often consists of fast food or meals prepared in a restaurant. I have the luxury of gracious in-laws and parents that still invite my family and me over for frequent meals, but my daily consumption is not usually healthy.

A couple of weeks ago I read an article in The Springfield Sun about a petition being circulated by Willisburg Fire Chief Jesse Carney and Mackville Fire Department Treasurer Bobby Lee Russell. They're requesting the community dues for fire protection in their areas be raised to $45 a year and collected by the sheriff department as part of the annual tax bill starting in 2013.
By now you've heard the news: We're growing, at least physically. The average American male is 17 pounds heavier and the average female 19 pounds heavier than in the late 1970s. And the percentage of overweight children and adolescents in the U.S. has nearly tripled in that same period of time.
One of the most overlooked and effective ways to fight our growing weight problem is to grow a vegetable garden.

The Biggest Mouth in Maryland
Baltimore's Suggs Screams Like a Crazy Man on the Field—and His Teammates Love it
Forgive the New England Patriots if they were confused on Sunday night as time ticked down in their AFC championship loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Through the stunned, silent Gillette Stadium, they probably didn't understand why one player was repeatedly shouting something about the "Catalina Wine Mixer," a curiously random reference to the 2008 Will Ferrell movie "Step Brothers."
The noise was coming from Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who is the loudest man on the field (any field) and all but certainly the loudest player in the NFL, according to his teammates.
Suggs has a well-documented aptitude for chasing down quarterbacks. But to those who find themselves within earshot during games, he's also renowned for screaming anything that pops into his mind at the top of his lungs. And here's the funny thing: Those teammates aren't annoyed. They say Suggs's bombastic baritone comes in handy in a sport where communication is crucial. They say it cuts through the most hostile crowd noise in the NFL and can be heard clearly from all 11 positions on the field.
Let's put a fine point on this: The Baltimore Ravens think having a screaming nutjob in their midst actually helps them win football games.
"No matter how loud the crowd is, I'm like 'I can still hear you, bro.' It's crazy being able to hear him over any crowd," said defensive tackle Terrence Cody. "We'll be having problems stopping the run and [Suggs] will just start yelling and stuff. We can hear him and we know what we have to do."
When he's not bellowing lines from Will Ferrell movies, Suggs can shout out any number of directions to teammates: He may point out a tell in the opposing offense's alignment, indicate if a player is lined up in a peculiar manner, or point out if the play is likely moving in one specific direction. Suggs's famously thorough devotion to studying game film helps him to identify any of these subtle movements before each play. So the Ravens' defensive players say they have what amounts to Suggs in their ear at all times.
Suggs also just likes yelling. He loves yelling random movie quotes as much as he does helping players make strategic adjustments.
"Most of the time we'll be pass rushing and he'll yell, 'This is how I want it,' and I can hear him," said defensive lineman Pernell McPhee, who said that Suggs is "by far" the loudest person he's ever heard in football.
Besides being an accomplished pass-rusher who's collecting 84.5 sacks over his career, including 14 in 2011, Suggs is especially good at one of the dark arts of linebacking: reading where the ball is going to go. His voice does the rest. "He helps me out tremendously. He studies so much film," Arthur Jones said. "Especially when I'm [playing defensive tackle] and he'll yell 'hey, Art, it's coming our way'."
Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger said Suggs is so loud that he cannot tune him out, even when he badly wants to. Suggs's noise isn't limited to game day, Kruger said. He also yells throughout practice—his usual mixture of useful information and pure nonsense.
Interactive Graphic
"He yells anything and everything. Whatever pops into his head, there's no governor," said linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo. Teammates say that last week, Suggs's most baffling yells centered around the team needing to "find Costello's rat," a reference to Martin Scorsese's "The Departed." How this was relevant remains a mystery. But his material is always changing.
"He'll have a new thing for the Super Bowl. We don't know yet, he's going to watch 20 movies, he'll find quotes and we'll have to figure out what he's yelling about," Ayanbadejo said.
After the Ravens toppled the Patriots, Suggs yelled, among other things "Have fun at the Pro Bowl," a reference to the game some Patriots will now play in since they aren't going to the Super Bowl. He also talked about arrogance of the Patriots and many unprintable things about the organization.
Suggs cut a media session short on Sunday before yelling at reporters for "not being on the bandwagon" and using multiple references to "12," his name for Tom Brady, the Patriots quarterback his team had defeated.
He left a few hours after the game screaming his loudest line of the day, which echoed throughout the hallways in Foxborough: "And the Ravens are going to the Super Bowl."

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - The owner of a high-end bicycle shop in Hollywood thanked Local 10's viewers for helping police arrest a man suspected of stealing two cameras worth $800.
Thomas Ingram was arrested Tuesday.
According to an arrest affidavit, a viewer who saw Local 10's report about the theft at Big Wheel Cycles told police he recognized Ingram as the suspect.
"It is amazing how effective the TV works," said Tony Chin, the owner of Big Wheel Cycles. "The day after, people were calling, 'We saw this guy on TV and we know him. Would you like us to identify him?'"
Chin said Ingram's sister and brother-in-law also identified him.
"His own sister and brother-in-law came in and said if we wanted, he would go with police and show him where this guy is hiding," said Chin.
Police say surveillance video showed a man enter the store and cut a security cable attached to two Go Pro cameras. He then looks around to see if any employee or customers notices, walks to another area of the store, waits a few seconds, and grabs the two cameras off the display and hides behind a rack while he stuffs them under his shirt.
Ingram later pawned the cameras, police say.
Ingram is charged with two counts of grand theft, two counts of false ownership information for pawned items, and two counts of dealing in stolen property.
Police say Ingram was on probation in connection with another burglary in September 2012. He lives three blocks from Big Wheel Cycles.
Ingram is being held on $17,500 bond.

Anger over health insurance companies' dictatorship
I have taken a break from Tamoxifen. I don't have any adverse symptoms with Tamoxifen like I did with Arimidex. This is why I stopped taking it and asked my doctor to put me back on Tamoxifen. Lately I have been getting a pain in my lower leg, which may be just a muscle issue, but because one of the most severe side effects of Tamoxifen can be a blood clot, I stopped the drug until I see my doctor next week. I have become completely over cautious – with reason – since the breast cancer diagnosis.
This isn't my issue today though. I was thinking about all this because I need to refill the Tamoxifen for this month. My insurance company has just decreed that all long-term prescriptions must be filled by mail. They plan to institute this by increasing the co-pay of repeats after 3 months. So, if I continue to use my pharmacy, I will pay a 50.00 co-pay after 3 months instead of the usual 25.00. Now a 25.00 co pay for drugs is pretty high already, but 50.00 will be more than buying Tamoxifen in Canada. Unbelievable! This is the far right opposite of what everyone fears and wrongly calls socialized medicine; this is fascist! Imagine, the insurer gets 560.00 a month from me and the same amount from my employer to cover my healthcare costs. So health coverage for me and my family is over 12,000.00 a year. Now, the insurer is dictating where I can buy my drugs. This is unconscionable.
I have used the same local pharmacy for five years. They were with me all through cancer and subsequent treatment and surgeries. I am going to lose the personalized service and support. This obviously doesn't benefit me, it is all for the profits of the insurer. I am a right wing conservative who agrees with free market capitalism – to some extent; we have seen from the economic mess what happens without regulation. Aside from that political argument, I strongly believe and my conviction is that healthcare should be exempt from handling by profiteers. We need to take control of our healthcare and medicine; we the people can do a great job. If our healthcare is set up to benefit the user that isn't socialism!…it's the way it should be for all Americans.

Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley has accepted the same position with the Miami Hurricanes.
While holding that job at FSU, Coley coordinated the offense and prepared the offensive game plan, but did not call plays. That duty was handled by head coach Jimbo Fisher.
At Miami, things will be different for Coley. Coley, who replaces Jebb Fisch after Fisch took the same position with the Jacksonville Jaguars, will be responsible for calling all of the plays for the Hurricanes.
Coley, a Miami native and FSU graduate who grew up minutes away from the Orange Bowl, would get a pay raise, too. He was reportedly offered about $500,000 a year. Florida State reportedly matched Miami's offer, but Fisher was unwilling to hand over play-calling duties.
After five years in Tallahassee, his presence would seemingly provide Miami with an instant inside track on ACC foe, FSU. Coley, 39, is a fearless recruiter who knows the south Florida area, a recruiting treasure trove, as well as any coach in the country.
Florida State won 12 games for the first time since 1999 and with a victory over Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl, won a BCS game for the first time since 2000.
Now, Fisher could find himself starting over. His defensive coordinator, Mark Stoops, took the head coaching job at Kentucky. Stoops asked Coley to come along with him to Kentucky, but Coley opted to remain at FSU. And he's gone, too.

Building on the success of the previous two instalments, Sucker Punch Productions returns with a brand new take on the series with inFAMOUS: Second Son. Replacing Cole MacGrath, players assume the role of Delsin Rowe, an Akomish Native American who has a habit of getting into trouble, pitting him against his brother Reggie who also happens to be the local sheriff. After inadvertently absorbing the powers of an escaped Conduit detainee, Delsin and Reggie head to Seattle to make things right.
The Power of the PlayStation 4
If there's one thing becoming apparent with PlayStation 4 exclusives, they look absolutely gorgeous. Like Killzone: Shadow Fall before it, inFAMOUS: Second Son boasts a native 1080p resolution that showcases its open world nicely. Whether admiring the skyline from a rooftop or absorbing the power from a neon sign, the game's visuals will impress players each time they load it up. While always stunning, perhaps the biggest visual compliment comes during the game's boss battles. With you and your foes in back and forth fights featuring powers like Neon, Smoke and Video, the graphics remain as smooth as if you were standing on the deck of the Space Needle. Although we were originally concerned at the varying 30-to-60 frames per second, the game is visually flawless.
Sucker Punch has found some interesting ways to use the Dualshock 4's Touch pad. Gently pressing the touch pad to absorb the smoke from a chimney is an intuitive use for the touch pad, however extracting the power from a Core Relay by holding it down and manipulating it upward feels clunky. It's one of the few times that players will find themselves pulled out of the trance that inFAMOUS puts them in.
The DualShock 4's speaker is also used in inFAMOUS Second Son, with audio logs and the sound of sizzling smoke being pumped through the tiny speaker. Some may find the sound quality poor, but this can be disabled through the PlayStation 4's XMB. It's inclusion is a nice touch but it's not required to enjoy the action on screen.
A World of Possibilities
From the moment you step foot into the city limits of Seattle, the open world environment is a massive success. You can go anywhere, do anything and have a real and lasting impact on your surroundings. The city is made up of several districts, each with their own checkpoints, patrols and command centres that depict a state of Martial law. How players choose to deal with these obstacles has a real impact on the vibe of the game. Save civilians and subdue your enemies to become a hero, or kill, disrupt and destroy everything in your path to play the villain. The choice is yours.
While partaking in the open world side missions are mostly optional, doing so is extremely rewarding. We spent a fair amount of time cleaning the D.U.P. out of several districts early on, making travel during missions much easier, while simultaneously stocking up on Blast Shards to upgrade our powers. Although it will take you several hours to completely expel your adversaries from the city, the task is far from daunting. You can clear each district in roughly 30-to-60 minutes of playtime with the help of an easy to read map and checklist of objectives. No more aimlessly wandering around trying to figure out what to do next.
Zero to Hero
With any single-player only title, the campaign makes or breaks it. With that in mind, inFAMOUS Second Son stands up admirably. Troy Baker, known for his roles as Joel in The Last of Us and Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite, plays Delsin Rowe. Once again, his performance is not only excellent, but enhanced by memorable dialog that also includes his brother Reggie (Travis Willingham) and the game's main antagonist, Brooke Augustine (Christine Dunford). The combination of stunning visuals and an immersive story yield a deeply satisfying campaign.
Audio and visuals aside, perhaps one of the most subtle, yet impressive features of the game is the pace at which the story unfolds. Things start off slowly, giving players simple missions that gradually teach the play mechanics and develop their skills. This approach is even adopted by the progression of the boss battles, starting off with no name, rock-slinging thugs and building up to an epic finale.
If there's one area that the campaign that comes up short, however, it's the lack of a chapter select option. In fact, there is no main menu. Rather than give the option of what saved game to load, it will throw you into your previous save, forcing you to navigate the pause menu should you wish to resume a different play through, slightly annoying to say the least. The Good Kind of Karma
While it stumbles in a couple of areas, the game exceeds expectations in all the right ways. Superb visuals, top-notch voice acting and an open world that responds to every decision players make leads to a very satisfying experience. Although it lacks a multiplayer mode, the decision to play using good or evil karma ensures high replay value. Even though we could do without being force-fed the innovation of Sony's Dual Shock 4 controller, the upside to inFAMOUS: Second Son is so overwhelming that PS4 players should rush out and buy this game today.
GAME's Verdict: 9/10
The Good
- Experience beautiful Seattle in a native 1080p resolution
- Superb voice acting that delivers memorable dialog
- An open world environment that changes with player actions
The Bad
- Touchpad integration can feel clunky at times
- Use of the Dual Shock 4's speaker is unnecessary
- Lack of a mission select option is disappointing

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, "Doomsday poll: 98% risk of 2014 stock crash" was my midyear headline. And yes, it still fits. Why? Because in the new year, after the irrational exuberance of the "Christmas rally" passes, reality will set in.
Bliznetsov / Shutterstock.com
Remember the dark warnings from last January through the fall? Fed even saw an "unsustainable bubble" ... Bill Gross: "Credit Supernova" ... Jeffrey Gundlach: "Kaboom Ahead" ... Charlie Ellis: "Don't own bonds" ... Gary Shilling: "Shocker" ... Nouriel Roubini: "Prepare for perfect storm" ... Peter Schiff "doubling down" on his "doomsday" prediction ... InvestmentNews's warning to 90,000 advisers: "Tick, tick ... boom!"
Then a sudden, dramatic psychological twist: The investors' collective brain tired of the negativity in mid-October after the last bearish headline: "America's economic guillotine dead ahead." A week later the reversal: "2014 'Year of the Boom' bet on the bulls," quoting Bank of America's chief strategist: "Bulls roaring. Hot race to the New Year. Then beyond into a booming, bullish 2014 rally ... Great Gatsby's spirit is back in America. Top billing. Let the good times roll. Come join the party."
By November irrational exuberance was accelerating, in full holiday mode: Headline, "Shiller's hot P/Es powering a 'Roaring Bull' till 2017," dubbed the 2014 "Katy Perry market." A week later, another headline added: "10 reasons to be a bull in 2014."
But why the shift from doomsday to Katy Perry's Roaring Bull?
Was it just America coming out of the summer doldrums? Why so sudden? So big? Why after all the dark early 2013 bear warnings from respected gurus, Gross, Gundlach, Ellis, Shilling, Schiff, Shiller, plus InvestmentNews? Yes, investor sentiment rose. Stocks on a bull run. Hot news shifting as fast as market volatility in today's social media.
But what happened? Summers withdrew from Fed competition, calming Wall Street? Obamacare crashed, reenergizing the GOP? Ted Cruz and Miley Cyrus distracted us from reality? Now, holidays, shopping, celebrations, movies, bonuses, welcomed diversions?
But what really happened? And why? Was it as simple as Americans got psychologically exhausted, tired of all the bad news, the relentless political warfare? We just needed a collective breather? So we jumped on the good news wave? It took on a life of its own?
After New Year's, will irrational exuberance cool, disappear?
Is all this "Great Gatsby" and "Katy Perry Roaring Bull" just hype? Distractions? An emotional "Christmas Rally?" ... a brief dose of "irrational exuberance?" ... and after New Year's parties, when Wall Street cashes bonuses ... when the next debt-limit fight triggers ... when Yellen's Fed stops printing cheap money ... when the 2014 political battles really heat up ... when we wake up with New Year's hangovers, remember all the earlier warnings from Gross and the bears ... will a bear recession take down the markets? After all, this bull market is in the fifth year of an average four-year bull.
What do your see? Comment: Will 2014 be more bull? Or a new bear? And why the shift? To help you, here's what we reported on this past year, with links to the columns:
Gary Shilling: warns of '42% decline in S&P ... and global recession'
"With a global recession depressing corporate revenues, unsustainable profit margins and currency translation losses spawned by a robust dollar." In early January Shilling saw "S&P 500 operating earnings ... a quarter below Wall Street consensus. Throw in a bear market P/E low of 10 and the S&P 500 Index drops to 800, a 42% decline."
Bill Gross: "Credit supernova dead ahead"
In February, Gross warned of a "credit supernova." Pimco has $2 trillion at risk if the Fed's cheap money explodes, brings down the economy. Worse, "investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development ... now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi finance."
Nouriel Roubini: Global collapse, 'prepare for perfect storm'
Roubini on Slate: "Sooner or later, another ugly fight" over debt, and markets get "spooked." Any one trend "would be enough to stall the global economy, tip it into recession."
InvestmentNews: Bond crash coming, 'Tick, tick ... boom!'
InvestmentNews March front page was so overwhelming, you could hear sirens flashing, warning in huge bold type: "Tick, tick ... boom!" Their readers, 90,000 advisers, trust INews forecasts. Warning: Millions of investors have "no idea what's about to happen."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Tim Hardaway Jr. had 17 points and a career-high seven assists to help No. 2 Michigan rout Eastern Michigan 93-54 Thursday night.
The Wolverines (12-0) are off to their best start since winning the first 16 games of the 1985-86 season.
The Eagles (6-4) have lost two straight since beating Purdue.
Michigan trailed 6-2 in the opening minutes, then took control with a 20-0 run. The Wolverines led 40-24 at halftime and enjoyed an even bigger cushion for much of the second half.
Eastern Michigan's Daylen Harrison scored 13 points and Glen Bryant had 10.
Michigan's Trey Burke had 11 points and eight assists. Nik Stauskas made three 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 16 points, while fellow freshmen Mitch McGary had 10 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double and Glenn Robinson III added 13 points for the Wolverines.

Yup, and still a mouse, but my community rank has improved over 200 points in the last week
Darth - congrats, that is a gre at effort!
I went for my first post-marathon run and my foot started hurting about a mile and a half in. It looks like I will take some time off. I have a charity 5K the Sunday before Thanksgiving so I'll probably take it easy until then.
lol - Dawg !!
39F here. R&R Denver marathon is going on, so will have to change my route. They use most of the course for my planned 8+ miler. Since I boycott Competitor, I'll catch up with running friends afterwards. Supposed to meet some for margaritas at noon, so need to run and get a few things done before my day is lost.
Oh - and some QB is returning 'home' apparently tonight. I'm surprised ESPN didn't talk about it at all this week...
Good luck Mini and JMH
Contrats Darth !
Yup, and still a mouse, but my community rank has improved over 200 points in the last week
but one more post and you'll move up a level !
My team (UGA) stunk it up pretty badly yesterday. Between injuries, a young defense, and just not playing sharply, the season has spiraled downhill quickly. My other two favs won though...Bama and FSU. Possible Nat'l Champ game match up there.
So I look perfectly normal in comparison.
46 degrees in Atlanta. Y'all know I'm not happy. Is it spring yet??
9 easy in a few. badger how did DGF do?
No PR in the books yesterday. The course is crushed limestone, so a little slow. She did great although!
Hey, told ya low 1:24 high 1:23. Great job!
46 degrees in Atlanta. Y'all know I'm not happy. Is it spring yet??
39F when I started. Great running weather and great scenery at Morton Arboretum. Felt good for 12 miles then BOOM my legs stopped working and I shuffled the last 6 miles. 18 in the bag.
Happy Sunday
"Long" run of 3.25 for me, which included a stop to pet a friend's dog after which I was able to pick up the pace and felt fine. Rain about 4 blocks into it, but then a peak of sun a the end. Hip is still painful, but it is what it is and it is tennis related.
Overslept as I stayed up to wait for DS1 and then continued to stay up reading Lopez Lomong's story. It's $2.99 on kindle and I feel a bit guilty paying so little for it, but wow. He was kidnapped by rebels at age 6, escaped from a camp by running for 3 days (he was a speedy 6 year old) with some older boys as the younger kidnapped kids died around him. His original name was Lopepe, which means "Fast". The escaped group thought they were headed back home on their run, but ended up on the Kenyan border. He spend the next 6 years in a Kenyan refugee camp, which is where I left him last night (or early this morning). To get into the soccer game each day a the camp, the younger boys had to run a loop around the camp or 18 mlles to be able to play. Lopepe wanted to play so ran it. This while consuming very few calories a day, except on Tuesday when they had the joy of eating from the garbage dump from the leftovers of the UN workers. They made the soccer ball out of rags from the dump.
Mini: Way to go after your extended run last week! You are speedy!
Badger: Congrats to DGF! She is awesome! I used to like crushed limestone and still do for my legs, but it holds in the pollen somehow so can't really run on it much anymore w/o feeling ill
Taylormade: Did it freeze out your way?
jmhubba: Hope it went well! Congrats to DD and DW. Is DW recovered from her injuries?
RA: I see you have adopted the badger-style of posting.
Darth: Congrats on the Half!! Woohoo!
Morgan: Sorry about the foot Smart to rest it
Frank: Bummer about Philly. Hope your PF gets better
Mdawg: Sorry about your dawgs. 46 is still shorts weather! I did switch to long sleeves, but then end up pushing them up.
TomLizzo: Hope the 5K was fun! No need to rush back after the marathon
RD: They don't have margarita icons, sorry
Taylorma: I hate that cold air gasping feeling, too.
No more nosebleeds. Think it was the initial really dry air outside/moldy leaves. Will get another when it freezes,
3 short and easy turned into a 6 mile tempo. Just needed to prove something after last week's disappointment. I've switched shoes and think that may help with the PF. I hope so, aanyways.
maps, goos to see you are back on the saddle. lots of time until patriots day. Do stay clear of the nosebleeds, though.
and as RD promised, I am on to cat status!
Loser Sundailies (referencing my Bears)
Badgers GF - Congrats!! Its difficult to PR on a trail compared to a paved course. Sounds like you did awesome though! Many PR's in the future.
mini - Wow 1:24! Awesome job! You can join RD and Asics in the speedy neighborhood.
jmphelps - Hope you rock it today!
me: Ran on the Bloomingdale Trail today. Such an awesome way to see the city. Finished with about 40 miles for the week. Have my winter/ spring races planned with the F^3 Half and Cary. 2014 is going to be my breakout year.
You people are too fast for me. This is why there is never any food left for me when I get done.
Good Evening!
Looks like I was the only one not running today. Good job to see everyone getting out there.
Mini: Great race today! That puts you at 2:57:39 marathon?
Darth: looks like a nice strong run.
Jmh: nice job today. Chalk it up as training for Dopey. That's great your niece enjoys running. Tough series for the Tigers. Would rather have seen them in the World Series.
RD: The Colt's kicker just nailed the return guy!!! Good game brewing in Indy.
Rest day today. My Pfitz plan calls for 600s tomorrow, but think I will do 800s instead.
late check in. Very nice Mini. Congrats !

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Alex Ramirez had heard the debates over Sunday liquor sales in the city of Shepherdsville.
And, even as a new restaurant owner, he understood the concerns of the public and the councilmembers over allowing Sunday alcohol sales in the city.
But, with his new Cabo Cantina's Steaks and More now open on Cedar Grove Road at Interstate 65, Ramirez now realizes that the inability to sell alcohol on Sunday dramatically affects his business.
But councilman Scott Ellis believes he might have a way to get the pulse of the community.

POR gets:
Mike Dunleavy
Paul George
2011 First Round draft pick
IND gets:
Brandon Roy
Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
Brandon Roy knees are bad.
Yea. If B. Roy was more healthy, then I'd say absolutely for us.
But losing Paul George AND a first rounder seems like a big gamble for someone with Roy's injury history.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Very good proposal, but I don't know for certain if Portland would bite. Yet.
Roy's injury history concerns me, but he is still young PLUS he is much better than Mike and George right now combined.
I love Paul George, but come on, this is a top 20 player in this league.
I agree. Roy is a top 20 player, but I'm just not sold on trading a young prospect AND a first for a guy who could very well spend the rest of his career injury plagued.
Then again, he could be healthy for the rest of his career and dominate.
Honestly, this is a very good and tough proposal.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Very likely scenario as well as both Roy and Iggy are stinking it up right now and it seems as if they are just looking for a change of scenery.
Agreed. I think we could really get over the hump if we added another big star like Roy or Iggy.
Both would fit well here, IMO, and we have more than enough expirings to offer cap space to these teams plus a pick.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
I'd do this if it weren't for B. Roy's knee. It could very well cut his career short and at the very least cause him to miss several games a year.
Honestly, I have no idea why Portland would do this unless they were 100% certain that Roy would never be able to play at a fairly high level ever again. I don't think they're giving up on him yet. And if they aren't, they wouldn't touch this trade.
According to a source, Brandon Roy spoke to Blazers management about the need for him to be split up from his backcourt mate Andre Miller.
Its not true, GM Rich Cho said on Thursday.
Roy reportedly respects Miller as a player, but it has been difficult for him to coexist with a ball-dominating guard.
He knows Dre is good, a person close to Roy said. But he feels that most of the elite-level two-guards are better with the ball in their hands.
-ESPN via RealGm

You know what? I have a feeling that BRoy is bad for team chemistry. Extremely high maintenance, oft injured, etc.
He's been through this with everyone besides Steve Blake...
I'd still take a chance on him, but after a reportedly terrible month, I'm becoming skeptical of him being consistently healthy throughout his career. But he was a hell of a player two years ago, simply amazing.
The obvious response here is that, if this is all true, the Blazers are more likely to trade the aging Andre to, say, Denver or New Jersey in the Carmelo Discussions, than they are to trade their All-star shooting guard to the Pacers, especially for MDJ or George. Roy's been in and out, and so has Oden, but the Blazers FO would be drunk and stupid to consider this trade.
In addition to that, we still have Paul George, who has yet to receive sufficient playing time in JO'B's rotation. He's been compared to Trevor Ariza, Danny Granger, and Tracy McGrady. All three of these players took time to break out, so it's going to take Paul some time, too. However, it's impossible to gauge that when he sits on the bench in a suit every game due to JO'B's poor excuse for a "working rotation."
Regardless, if this (impossible) deal were on the table, I can't say I wouldn't object too much. Injuries are a killer, but Roy can work through it. However, the same "problem" in Portland would occur here, as we're still working to implement a brand new point guard (DC) into our offense, and Roy insists on having the ball in his hands.
Trade Grade: C+, for believability (or lack thereof) that this trade could or would happen.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I don't argue with you stance on Paul George on the Pacers, but what does that have to do with this trade? If they think that Roy's injury history and the $80+M they owe him along with him asking for a trade, this is a pretty solid deal. Could they cajole more out of us, probably. But a guy with HUGE upside and another first rounder, plus savings of $70M in real money and future cap space is a pretty legit return for Roy as it stands right now.
Well, it seems as if Roy's career has gone to crap. Apparently he won't ever be able to play at a high level again.
If we were to pick him up, I have a feeling that he'd be more of a burden than a good player. Too much $$$, not enough healthy games or production.

Great game, especially that 4th quarter.... I was on my feet in my living room watching the game like it was a playoff game or something. I just wanted us to win this game so bad.
Tinsley sucked and watson sucked..... seems like we would be better off with burks, foye, and hayward playing point for the whole 48 minutes

New York Alumni Among AU's Most Engaged
As graduation approaches, New York City alumni volunteers Ashley Rose Stumbaugh, Kogod/BSBA '12, Jason Gold, SOC/BA '05, David Teslicko, SIS/BA '09, WCL/JD '12, and the 10,570 American University alumni from New York City look forward to welcoming new graduates and sharing with them all the exciting engagement opportunities NYC offers AU alumni.
David, who is currently a member of the NYC Young Alumni Chapter, was initially drawn to American University for its focus on international studies and public affairs. "Visiting AU sealed the deal for me, as I instantly appreciated the unique atmosphere of the campus," he says. After graduating from American University's School of International Service and then the Washington College of Law, David began working for a judge on the court at the Court of International Trade. Like most New Yorkers, David is constantly enthralled by the buzz of activity the city has to offer. As president of the NYC Young Alumni Chapter, he works to create buzz of his own by putting together a variety of programs throughout the year.
David says that one event he and many other young alumni look forward to each year is AU's Back to School Night. The event invites recent alumni who just moved to the city to meet with current alumni in New York in an effort to foster the growth of the AU community there. Other events include AU happy hours, museum tours, and presidential receptions. David says he remains engaged with the university because it shaped the person he is today. He finds the NYC alumni network to be filled with other individuals who share the passion he has for American University and looks forward to attending alumni events in the city to learn how other alumni are making a difference professionally as well as in their communities.
Another young alumna, Ashley Rose Stumbaugh, is currently social media manager for the Young Alumni Chapter and promotes many of the upcoming NYC engagements alongside David. She says fellow alumni often joke with her that it's counter intuitive to have a "financial gal" working the social media campaign. A nod to AU's liberal arts education, Ashley has put together a number of successful social media campaigns, including a series called, "Eagles Who Soar," to introduce NYC young alumni to the chapter board members. Ashley is always looking for fun ways to share the stories of fellow alumni and uses social media like Facebook to highlight the many engagements New York City offers AU alumni. She shared that during the month of March many young alumni were excited by the success of the AU basketball team and came to support the team at viewing parties for the Patriot League Championship and NCAA tournament. Despite a tough loss, she says alumni still had a fun time showing school spirit and cheering on their AU Eagles.
Ashley knows many NYC alumni are also looking forward to the upcoming summer events, including another season of AU kickball and the upcoming AIDS Walk in May. Being a financial professional, she particularly enjoys engaging with students at the NY Finance Network trip and site visit. As a young alumna, Ashley understands the importance of networking and looks to help AU Finance students any way she can with internships or job opportunities. She explains, "The most rewarding thing to me is seeing a student who I met with on a site visit or exchanged emails with over coffee succeed in landing an awesome internship. I get to feel like I had a tiny part of their success."
Site visits in New York City for students interested in media and marketing have also been a popular engagement opportunity. Each winter, students interested in the field of media and marketing take a trip to New York and experience the inner workings of the businesses they hope to be part of after graduation. Jason Gold, director of scripted production at AMC and a member of the Entertainment and Media Alumni Alliance, arranged for AMC to host its first ever site visit in January. "I enjoy passing along all the knowledge I've gained back to students who will be joining me in the workforce," says Jason. He often stresses to students and recent graduates that, while the television and media industries are not easy to break into, they should not to give up. "Make connections and know that you need to start from the bottom and work your way up," Jason adds, saying he remains connected to his classmates and fraternity brothers through many alumni events in NYC.
All three of these active New York alumni feel a need to pay it forward to students. These Eagles of the Big Apple cannot stress enough the importance of student-alumni connections and still live by their alma mater, "Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle." David says, "AU wasn't the kind of school where students succeed simply by showing up to class and hanging out in the dorms the rest of the day.

Law enforcement officers in southwest Missouri searched Wednesday for a 68-year-old man who has been charged with murder in his wife's shooting death at a Branson hotel.
Taney County Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Merrell said Thomas Phillip Brown was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. His wife, Marilyn J. Brown, 63, was found dead Monday at a Ramada Resort and Conference Center on the main strip in the resort town. Police said she appeared to have been dead for more than two days.
The couple had just moved to Branson from Palm Springs, Calif. - a move that Thomas Brown reportedly didn't agree with, according to police. They were staying in motels after being displaced from the home where they had planned to live.
Public records show that Thomas Brown had lived in the Arkansas towns of Union and Calhoun in the early 1990s. He held a California state security and investigative services license from 1992 through 2008, as well as a state security guard's license that expired in June 2012 after 20 years.
Thomas Brown also filed for federal Chapter 7 bankruptcy in July 2012, online court records show. The case was discharged and closed three months later. His California-based bankruptcy attorney and trustee did not immediately respond to telephone messages seeking comment.
Branson police said Brown was likely driving a blue Dodge Durango with California license plate 5WRF678.
Each of the four homicides in Branson since 2007 has occurred in a hotel or motel.

Vice President, Rational Complex & Embedded System
This week marks the 44th anniverary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This historic event, enabled by the worlds finest engineers, took us further than we had ever been, and inspired so many of us to think about what is possible. The science and technology that enabled this pursuit might seem quaint by today's standards, but it was the discipline of engineering that made it work. That discipline is timeless and what we can bring is improved tools to help engineers to do their jobs with greater efficiency and capability.
This week also had another related milestone. Jeff Bezos announced that his team had recovered one of the Apollo 11 engines at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. This 1st stage of the incredibly powerful Saturn V rocket had not been seen since 1969. It took some amazing engineering to locate this wreckage and it was only this past week when it was positively identified as belonging to the Apollo 11 mission.
There are few limits to what dedicated engineers can achieve....especially with the right tools!

How to Become a Backyard Astronomer
When commercial aviation first got off the ground, it was thanks in part to government contracts to deliver airmail. Now spaceflight has its equivalent.
NASA's new Flight Opportunities Program sets aside $10 million to buy rides on an emerging breed of reusable suborbital spaceships. Rather than delivering letters, though, the seven companies that NASA selected this month to receive contracts will be delivering experiments into suborbital space. NASA program executive L.K. Kubendran says that the program is a two-for-one: It allows NASA to stimulate the fledgling commercial-spaceflight industry and simultaneously develop next-gen space technology that can be tested in experimental payloads on the vehicles. "We're trying to stimulate supply side, that is, the supply of flights, for our payloads," he says. "At the same time we're also asking the payload community to provide us with payloads."
The vehicles run the gamut from unmanned high-altitude balloons and sounding rockets to piloted rocket planes. All of them must be able to fly twice within five days. Some of the experiments that will fly on the vehicles (as they become available) have already been selected. They include tests of an in-space propellant-transfer system being developed at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida and zero-g trials of 3D printers by California-based Made in Space.
For these and other researchers, the new suborbital flight opportunities offer minutes of zero-g flight at a time to conduct experiments (versus only 30 seconds or so on parabolic airplane flights) at a tiny fraction of the cost of orbital flight. "What if something we didn't think of completely just destroys it all?" Embry-Riddle researcher Nathan Silvernail says. "We might as well just spend $1,000 now to find that out, and save ourselves millions."
Competing technologies from competing companies drive down the cost of a new mode of transportation, in the process opening the door to an expanding customer base. If the early days of aviation are anything to go on, suborbital space flight is seriously poised for takeoff.
Michael Belfiore is the author of Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers, and Pilots Is Boldly Privatizing Space.
Based in Heath, Texas, and run by video game impresario John Carmack, Armadillo is one of two winners of the NASA-sponsored Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge for vertical takeoff and vertical landing rockets. The remotely piloted, liquid-fuel ships take off and land on their tails, like the science-fiction rockets of old. Besides carrying research experiments, the company also plans to send space tourists out for a few minutes of weightless flight and a view of the Earth from space in the near future.

Next Sportsman Wave
California's Gary Forkner may have the first one, but his all-new '12 Camaro will most certainly not be the last within Sportsman drag racing going forward. Forkner, who is from Temecula, took delivery of the very first Jerry Bickel-built version for Top Sportsman class racing in February and immediately hit the trail racing at the NHRA national event held in Phoenix. Powered by a 634ci engine by Steve Schmidt, expectations are that the stunning machine will run regularly in the 6.90 e.t. at 200 mph+ zone during NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional events this season. When not out somewhere racing, the 15-year drag racing veteran works as part of NASCAR's Fire Safety crew.
Heartland Hitter
Doug Baumgardner is the new designated driver for a spectacular '69 Chevy Camaro SS/DA, which is owned by Mike Chaney and Phil Unruh. Based out of McPherson, Kansas, the car features a very high-end 427ci motor program by reputed Gary Stinnett, who is also from Kansas. This Camaro, which runs regularly in the 9.2 e.t. bracket, is already highly regarded as a serious player within NHRA's geographical Division 5, and in fact placed Second in championship points in that region in 2009. The car is part of a truly impressive three-car team that also includes a Chevy Cobalt Super Stocker and a Chevy-powered Top Dragster, also owned by Chaney and Unruh. Oklahoma-based fabricators Special Metals provides the team funding.
Racing Memory Preservation
Jack Bystrom and his wife, Lindia, are carrying forward some important traditions while racing their '68 Camaro, which is based out of Rancho Cucamonga, California. Their SS/FA-classed machine is the original car that was formerly raced by Lindia's first husband, Ron Filkins, who tragically passed away at Sears Point Raceway in 1993. They now campaign the race car, which won at Pomona with Ron as driver in 1990, in Ron's memory. Meticulously maintained, the car features a 396ci engine that includes parts provided by Alan Patterson, machining and dyno work by Colorado's Madcap Racing, and assembly by Jim Weakland. The Camaro has run as quick as 9.60 seconds (10.45 index) to date.
Into Uncharted Territory
Towards the tail end of the 2011 drag racing season, Canadian car owner Mike Carrabs (Brampton, Ontario) unveiled a truly revolutionary turbocharged Outlaw Super Street car. The Yenko-themed '69 Camaro, which features an LJ chassis and a one-off body by Joe Van Overbeek, caused a buzz within the North American fast legal street car racing scene with it's outside-the-box thinking. Driven by Jerry Mitrovic, the highly anticipated machine did suffer an early setback when it collected the guardrail during one of its maiden voyages, requiring some rebuilding during the past off-season. Now fully repaired, the car, which features a 536ci Chevy with twin 88mm turbochargers, has incredible performance potential—including a team target to reach 260 mph on 10.5 tires! For drag racing fans, that will most certainly be a story to monitor.

BroccoMax, a probable waste of money
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 08, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I was a regular user of this product because I don't care for the taste of broccoli, but want to get the considerable health benefits offered by sulforaphane. However, I came across a recent independent study that compared the release of sulforaphane derived from fresh broccoli to a broccoli extract supplement, which happened to be Jarrow BroccoMax, the same supplement that I was using. In the study, the subjects ingested 6 capsules of BroccoMax daily, which was 3-times the dose that I used.The study found that sulforphane release from broccoli depended on the presence of an enzyme in broccoli called myrosinase, that is released when the broccoli is chewed. This enzyme converts the precursor for sulforaphane in broccoli into active sulforaphane. But without the presence of myrosinase, the conversion to active sulforaphane is negligible. There is some conversion in the colon through the action of intestinal bacteria, but the amount of sulforaphane absorbed from this route is thought to be very low, and may not occur at all in some people. The point here is that BroccoMax doesn't actually contain sulforaphane, but rather the inactive precursor to sulforaphane, which must be converted by myrosinase into active sulforaphane. And there is no myrosinase in BroccoMax. I wrote to the company that produces this ingredient in BroccoMax(not Jarrow), and they refused to answer me when I asked them about the activity of the product. As such, it appears that BroccoMax is useless, and does not provide any significant sulforaphane activity. It's a complete waste of money, and I won't be using it anymore.

Firstly, your delivery charge is by far the cheapest I have ever found for any product I have ordered over the net and believe me I have ordered tons!! The product was delivered in a timely manner of which I was appreciative. Finally, BroccoMax is a fabulous product. I ordered it after reading about what HSI had to say about it vis a vis COPD. I have had asthma for 40 years. Along with another herbal product I take to control my asthma, this product certainly goes along way in relieving the residual damage that has been done over the years from the inflammation and constant use of steriod inhalers. I have recently thrown out all my inhalers for the first time in 40 years, that is how confident I am of the products I am using to control my asthma. Again, thanks for the great service, I would highly recommend your company to everyone!
You must love Jarrow products.

Wella Brilliance Shampoo Reviews
Wella BrillianceI was thrilled to have the opportunity to try Wella. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was the packaging-- the color and shape were very pleasing, and reminded me of the "glamorous" brands of the late 80s. The scent is pretty generic-- not really floral or heavy, just pleasant, light and clean. The Wella Brilliance shampoo that I tried was formulated for thick, coarse and colored hair, wh...read moreich describes mine perfectly. It's extremely difficult for my hair to retain moisture, so I had high hopes for this shampoo. However, when I looked over the ingredients, I noticed that the formula contained several different sulfate types, which I know have a tendency to dry out hair. Still, I wanted to give it a a try. Since receiving it, I have washed my hair exclusively with Wella for about a week and a half. I cannot say that I am terribly pleased with it, despite my high hopes. While I know that this is considered a high-end brand, I did not think it performed any better than a drugstore product. The shampoo formula itself is pretty watery, and while it does lather well, the consistency of the lather was quite soapy. It rinsed cleanly enough, but my hair still felt sticky. I did not feel that it moisturized my hair very much at all-- if anything, my hair felt a bit stripped. After drying and flat ironing, my hair still had that sticky feeling, but I did notice that it had quite a bit more shine, and a good deal of bounce. SO while it does lives up to its brilliance claim, in that it gave me a good deal of lovely, lustrous shine, I did not find it moisturizing in the least. It behaved more like a clarifying shampoo than one for coarse hair. I will continue to use it whenever my hair needs a good cleaning from product buildup, but I do not think that this would meet my softness and moisturizing needs. — 5 years, 11 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

Can't believe it's professionalThe best thing about this brilliance line is it's scent other than that it is no good for my hair, which is thick and coarse. It lathers up well but when rinsing it out I could feel the heaviness rather than a silky smooth feeling. It is loaded with sulfates and parabens which I don't recommend in any product. I didn't notice any significance with it affecting or enhancing my hair color. I would not spend the big $ on this line. — 5 years, 11 months agoTBjunkie | 692 reviews

Read your ingredient labelsI got a very generous sample of the formula for fine color treated hair so I tried it with an open mind. It has a very strong floral fragrance. It seemed to completely clean my hair, make it shiny, and volumize it, but at the expense of drying it out and making my scalp really, really itchy. I tried it both with my normal conditioner and the Wella Brilliance Conditioner for fine hair (which I l...read moreiked). I proceeded to read the ingredients and was disappointed that it contains sodium lauryl sulfate as its second ingredient (after water) which is a very harsh, irritating, drying cleanser. Sodium LAURETH sulfate is a gentle and good cleanser. It also contains sodium chloride (salt). I spend a lot of money for my stylist to do her magic on my hair and would not continue to use this product on my colored hair. Salt is very drying, damaging, and can strip color. If you live in a cold snowy climate, you know what salt does to roads, walkways, and the paint on your car. If you live near the ocean..well enough said. I am also skeptical about the diamond dust. I am sure it adds shine, but diamond is the hardest material out there, I would be concerned that even though it is ground to a very fine powder, it might have the potential to be abrasive enough to damage my hair. I don't feel this shampoo is appropriate at all for color treated hair. My best beauty advice to anyone is to read the ingredient label on anything that goes in or on your body (or hair) before using it. — 5 years, 11 months agoThorne | 456 reviews

Since I cut my hair, it is no longer damaged and I decided to not highlight it, which was my original intention in applying for it.

I used only a little of this in comparison to other shampoo brands and I was able to get a longer lasting clean, and bounce at the roots. It also was better for my scalp than some others. It does not have a big lather factor. I did not add the conditioner to the roots, but to extend the days between washing, I used a good dry shampoo. It kept up in better condition than most others. The shampoo allowed a shine, and left my hair soft. I do have issues concerning, how one is to get to this brand. I found it on-line, but if it is sold primarily at salons, or exclusive stores, I don't see it being as highly a chased product that it could be. It will be more expensive than I am used to paying, because I usually purchase better name brands (salon type) on sale. Therefore, I would not be purchasing it on my own. So, my rating may have been higher if some of these issues are resolved. If this is not the one for you, it might be worth it to check into other types, that may be available from this brand. — 5 years, 8 months agoevet | 13 reviews
