The National Bureau of Statistics on Sunday released the Consumer Price Index for the month of December with the country's inflation rate increasing from 9.4 per cent to 9.6 per cent.
The bureau in the report said the increase was as a result of an increase in the headline index driven in part by higher prices within key divisions contributing to the index.
In particular, it said imported food items within the food and non-alcohol beverages division, alcoholic beverage, tobacco and kola, clothing and footwear and transportation, as a result of intermittent supply shortages in petrol, impacted the index negatively.
It said, "In December, the pace of increases recorded by Consumer Price Index which measures inflation increased for the second consecutive month.
"The headline index increased by 9.6 per cent (year-on-year), 0.2 per cent points higher from rates recorded in November."
The report indicated that food prices recorded significant pressures in December with food sub-index increasing to 10.6 per cent (year- on-year) during the month.
The 10.6 per cent, the report stated, was 0.3 per cent points higher than the rates recorded in November.
"All major food groups, which contribute to the food sub-index, increased at a faster pace during the month with the exception of the milk, cheese and eggs group," it added.
The NBS also released the Premium Motor Spirit price watch for the month of December, stating that on the average, Nigerians paid N119.61 per litre to buy the product.
The report is based on the actual amount spent by households in the purchase of the PMS (petrol) across the federation.
According to the report, consumers in Yobe State bought the product for N123.73 per litre; Taraba, N153.33; Niger, N112.25; Nasarawa, N128.07; Lagos, N89.80; Jigawa, N117.20; and Imo, N136.36.
Residents bought the product at N109 per litre in Zamfara State; N154 in Bayelsa; N126.33 in Abia; and N114.78 in Abuja, among others.

I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan and am, perhaps, overly familiar with all the different formats of the Hitchhiker's Guide franchise. My overall opinion of the Disney film (2005) is that it may make a good Disney film (though even that I'm skeptical about) but it makes a horrible addition to the original canon. In this post, I will discuss what they did right and, more notably, what they did wrong.
CASTING — Wrong!
What a phenomenal roster of actors they got to do this film. Martin Freeman becomes more and more popular each year for his award-worthy portrayals–from The Office to Sherlock and Fargo. I've always liked Mos Def, especially in The Italian Job. I'm a huge fan of Sam Rockwell's work (If you haven't seen Moon yet, what are you doing sitting around here?). Everybody loves Zooey Deschanel, no need to comment. And of course, how could you go wrong with the prince of presence Bill Nighy? And yet…dare I say none of them were right for these roles, or perhaps they were mis-directed or wrongly written. Martin Freeman is a great everyman, but he's not this awkwardly tall, unpleasant carry-onner that Arthur is supposed to be. Zaphod is, according to the Frogstar, objectively amazing, but the way he's written, he's just an outlet for stupid gags about lemon-powered brains. I believe Rockwell could have pulled off cool if the character had been written cool. Deschanel's an okay fit, but she's a bit too much the plucky romantic lead rather than the colder astro-physicist who goes off and has a child via sperm bank. Ford's delivery doesn't come through because Mos Def mumbles a bit, the pacing is too fast, and they cut all of Ford's best scenes. (I remember when the cast was announced, people were upset that Ford was black. Really? You're upset that he's not a redhead, but you're not bothered by him having an American accent when he's meant to be from Guildford, or that six-foot tall Arthur Dent is played by a 5'6″ actor? Grow up.) Bill Nighy actually has the coolness to pull off Zaphod if he were the right age, but Slarti was always supposed to be a bumbling old man, and it's hard not to see through the dialogue and into the fact that it's Bill Nighy.
PACING — Wrong!
Wow, the dialogue in this movie is fast! Everyone talks so incredibly quickly, you miss all of the jokes, and the ones you do hear lack comedic timing so you don't laugh. I would be interested to know if anyone reading this blog has seen only this movie version of H2G2 and not the TV or radio version. If so, please leave your thoughts in comments. Do you feel that the pacing in this movie is way too fast? Or, perhaps it just seems fast to me because I'm so familiar with the slower pacing of the TV and radio versions. It's weird, though, because you would think that they're doing everything they can to cram as much of the original story in there, and that's why everyone's speaking so quickly, but then you have new subplots that go nowhere and an introduction to the film in the form of dolphins singing about fish in an obnoxiously catchy melody. I'm not saying the song isn't in line with H2G2's classic songs, but I'd much rather have Share and Enjoy or the Krikkit Song stuck in my head than this operatic So Long and Thanks for all the Fish. Take that out and we could have had the scene where Ford turns into a penguin. But no.
Ford Prefect — Wrong!
Ford is my favorite character. He lacks understanding of Earth customs, but he's really smart. He's a hitchhiker, so he knows a lot about tricking people and using logic to get himself out of sticky situations. He almost always has a plan. This does not come across in the film whatsoever. In an effort to keep the plot moving, they've taken out every single bit of character development for Ford. The original begins with Ford using sneaky logic to trick Mr. Prosser into lying down in front of his own bulldozer while he and Arthur nip off to the pub. It's clever and interesting. In the film, he shows up with a shopping cart full of beer and hands it out to people so that they won't knock the house down, and yet, Ford didn't seem to know ahead of time that there were going to be other people at Arthur's house. It's lazy writing. The second scene where Ford tries to trick his way out of things is with the Vogon guard. He tries to convince the young vogon to give up this life and pursue something else like music or art. It's a hilarious bit of dialogue, but it's completely cut from the movie, and the pair just gets shoved into the airlock without a fight. Once in the airlock, Ford doesn't even make the joke about there being a switch that will save them, so you lose that light bit of his personality as well.
The Book — Right!
The one bit of casting they got right was the voice actors. Save Stephen Moore, there's no actor I can think of better suited to play Marvin the paranoid android than Alan Rickman. Likewise, with the Book, if pressed, we could probably come up with a short list of worthy candidates, but I doubt I could vote for anyone but Stephen Fry. Fry was actually Douglas Adams' house-sitter for a while, as you'll know if you watched Fry's Last Chance to See, a sequel to Adams' book by the same name. I wasn't as thrilled with the Book's artwork, but I don't know what I was expecting. The TV show had hand-drawn art that would have been too retro to keep a modern audience's attention. But, there's an irony here that works, even if Disney didn't intend it. The Book is a commercial item, as evident in how it later gets bought out by another company (owned by the vogons) and redesigned. This flat, contemporary poster art would likely be what the Book would look like if it were real. (For the record, the Book is real. We call it Wikipedia, or more broadly the Internet, but it's curated by the masses and not by selected researchers like Ford, and it doesn't have consistent artwork throughout.)
The Things They Kept — Right!
- I expected them to Americanize the hell out of the story, since it was made by Disney and most of the cast was American, but they kept a surprising amount of original detail in, like the barman with the thick accent asking if they should put a paper bag over their heads. That man felt so authentically Adamsy, it felt like he could have been from the original show.
- It's strange to say, but I think the best moment in the whole movie for fans was that they kept the original theme song. It's slightly re-imagined, but it's more or less the same banjo-y chorus and it's big and beautiful. If you're a fan, it will bring tears to your eyes.
- Another one for fans, they left all the original words to the Jeltz's poem. "O frettled gruntbuggly…!"
- as well as the surprised whale's monologue
- They actually expanded on some of the minor details from the book. It is mentioned in the book that Ford's name before he came to Earth was Ix, so in the film both Zaphod and other alien friends call him Ix. Of course, without explaining that Ford is the Earth name he chose, thinking it was a human name and not a car name, it is unclear in the movie why he has two names, though it is hinted at when he mentions he thought cars were the dominant life form on the planet when he first arrived on Earth.
- The vogons are very much British bureaucrats. They've expanded a lot on this with paperwork scenes and the like. It would have been easy to make the slimy green monsters the purely evil bad guys in a Disney movie, so I'm glad they stuck with the original intent of bureaucracy destroying the universe. There is an entire added scene where Trillion is being fed to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal and her friends have to deal with paperwork and an incompetent secretary just to get her back.
- The Great Green Arkleseizure is mentioned in the books, but in the film, we actually get to see a scene in a church where the worshipers are waiting for the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief. I feel this whole scene was developed just for the punch line "Bless you."
- The point-of-view gun is a new invention to this version of the story, but the fact that Marvin is able to save the day by shooting it at the vogons and making them all depressed and give up their missions is not far off from when Marvin, in the original, patches himself into another computer and diseases it with his own depression.
Humma Kavula — Wrong!
We really could have done without John Malkovich's character in this movie. Humma Kavula does not appear in any other part of the franchise. Perhaps Douglas Adams did invent him, I don't know. Afterall, he did help write the original draft of the screenplay ten years before it was made, but by having this evil, spidery villain who is at war with Zaphod over the presidency, it takes away the emphasis of bureaucracy being the main threat to our existence. It also causes this tangential subplot that pulls us away from the main story of getting to Magrathea and finding out about the Ultimate Question. Honestly, if you were to walk out of the room for fifteen minutes and come back when they are headed to Magrathea, you wouldn't have missed anything, except that it's Zaphod's fault that the Earth was destroyed, which is an addition I'm not sure exists in any of the other versions.
Zaphod Beeblebrox — Wrong!
It breaks my heart to say it because Sam Rockwell's such a terrific actor, but I hated the portrayal of Zaphod in this film. It's largely the writing and directing, I think. He's got an American accent and cowboy boots, so given the era this was made, he's meant to be a satirical version of George W. Bush. This is not far from what Adams' would have wanted, as I think Zaphod was always meant to be a jab at American presidency. But, as much as you may despise his ego, he's not supposed to be wholly unlikable, overly stupid, or crazy. He's meant to be interested in excitement, adventure, and really wild things. Rockwell's Zaphod is interested in becoming famous by discovering the Ultimate Question, which is why he wants to go to Magrathea. We know that Zaphod hates Arthur because he has feelings for Trillion, but it's strange that they left out the scene where Zaphod purposely abandons Arthur on Magrathea. (Instead, Arthur just accidentally doesn't follow them to Deep Thought.) Zaphod has a fight with his second head, making him look crazy. His brain is powered by lemons. And in a big twist away from the canon, he has his second head removed by Humma Kavula. Then there's a matter of special effects. I think we live in an age where they could have given him the second head and still made it look pretty good, but they took a cheap way out and made the head hidden underneath his neck. The three arms are there, but not really used. And as for multiples of anything else, in the film, Arthur jokes to Trillion, "Anything else he's got two of?" but actually, on set of the TV show, the actor Mark Wing-Davey did have a second willy done for him, even though it's not visible underneath his long robe.
The Ending — Hmmm…
The ending is entirely reset, meaning in a new setting. Ford, Zaphod, and Trillion physically go to Deep Thought rather than just learn about him/her. (Deep Thought, by the way, is now a female computer voice.) Slartibartfast takes Arthur to Earth mark 2, even though in the original, it hadn't been built yet. The dinner party scene with the white mice explaining how they need to take out Arthur's brain is relocated to Arthur's dining room. Instead of Arthur just running away, Disney ups the stakes and has Arthur tied down with a James Bondian blade spinning toward his head while he desperately tries to come up with a good Ultimate Question. This spirals down into a soppy confession of his love for Trillion, only shortly after Trillion had confessed via point-of-view gun that she loved Arthur. How very Disney. In the original, Arthur and Trillion never get together. (They have a daughter together, but only because Trillion visits a sperm bank where Arthur had visited whilst he was short on cash.) Then an army of vogons on foot show up at Arthur's door in a very un-Adamsy manner and start shooting at them. The vogons have, in this scene, become sort of the classic bad guy and not the office clerks they're meant to be. But, of course, Marvin saves the day, the new Earth is going to be finished, and Arthur and Trillion are in each other's arms. Zaphod doesn't care because he has found some other woman invented for this film. Ford offers to take them to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the title of the second book, and not a place that the characters ever go to on purpose. It's a good Disney climax, but it's all a bit rushed and lazy, lacking the spirit of any of the original.

No More Gardening Guessworkcomments (1) December 4th, 2014
A new campaign on the Kickstarter crowdfunding site caught my eye because it has the potential to change the way gardeners plant their vegetable gardens.
The Seedsheet answers the question every new vegetable grower wants to know: "How do I plant a vegetable garden?"
Instead of going through the trial-and-error process of planting to see what works, The Seedsheet simplifies the entire process because it makes gardening as easy as "making your bed."
The campaign has reached about one-third of its goal and has quite a few backers willing to invest in "an agricultural paint-by-numbers" product. The campaign for backers ends on December 14.
The way Seedsheet works is gardeners create a virtual garden with a special garden-builder software. Then they select the size of the garden bed and add their zip code.
The zip code is important because it's needed to calculate the garden's hardiness zone in order to recommend the plants that will grow best in that specific area. Gardeners then select the fruits, vegetables and herbs they want to grow to create a digital layout.
Each layout is transformed into a customized Seedsheet made of weed barrier fabric embedded with soil and seeds. Simply unroll the sheet, place it on top of the soil and water. Just like a large version of seed tape or seed carpet, the pre-selected seeds will sprout in the fabric so there's no digging, no planting, and no weeding.
The idea for Seedsheet is part of a new trend toward "instant skills." This trend is helping novices get positive results without having to suffer through the typical learning curve it takes to master something, like gardening.
I'm unsure how I feel about taking my vegetable gardening and turning it into a "plug and play" hobby. On one hand, I'm all for getting more folks involved in growing their own fresh food, but on the other hand, I feel like they'll be missing something essential about the gardening experience.
How do you feel about gardening without getting your hands dirty?

Words, Even When There Aren't Any
An essay about my visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is on The Rumpus today.
It took me a long time to write the essay. I started it twelve different ways and nothing I wrote seemed to express my experience with any degree of emotional truth. But sometimes when words aren't enough, we have to write them anyway. Because silence isn't the answer either.
Happy Hanukkah. It's a holiday about bringing light into the year's darkest days. I wish light and love to you all tonight.
One thought on "Words, Even When There Aren't Any"
Jilllian- We visited Dauchau this summer and I felt many of the same feelings as we walked past the gas chambers, the showers, the barracks. It is a horrific site and truly sends chills down your spine. I always remember that scene from Sophie's Choice where she has to hand over one of her children and wonder what would I do, what could I do?
I'm also touched by how your words and worries about Auschwitz are so parallel to the tragedy in Connecticut. It's so hard as a parent to realize we can't protect our kids from all the evils that lurk out there. Sometimes the best we can do is to hug them and love them and give them an innate sense of security as they make their way through this world.

On the surface, personal finance seems to be primarily about money: getting rich and optimising your investments and so on. It's definitely about all of that stuff, but in a larger, more important way, it has nothing to do with money at all. It's more about using it to optimise your values and priorities.

Learn to Manage Your Money So It Doesn't Manage You
My dad used to say, "Money isn't the problem; the lack of it is." And it's true: money doesn't buy you happiness, but not having enough of it can be a pain. And the level of pain varies, depending on your situation.
Growing up, my parents had a hard time making ends meet, at least for a few years. They wanted to move to a better neighbourhood with better schools, but that wasn't going to happen. Others have it even worse. In Scarcity, Why Having Too Little Means So Much, authors and researchers Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir describe study after study that shows a lack of money affects our decisiveness, well-being — even our politeness. The authors write:
Scarcity is not just a physical constraint. It is also a mindset. When scarcity captures our attention, it changes how we think. By staying top of mind, it affects what we notice, how we weigh our choices, how we deliberate, what we decide and how we behave.
Like it or not, money is powerful. Most of us are controlled by it, and that's where personal finance comes in. Personal finance is about learning to manage money so you can use it to your advantage. It's about taking control. Ironically, the goal of personal finance is to get to a point where you don't have to worry about money at all.
Money Itself Is Not The Goal
It's easy to assume that managing money means chasing after it. Obviously, having more money always helps, but if money is the end goal, you're doing it wrong. And for a long time, I did it wrong.
After I graduated, I wanted to travel. My goal was to get out of debt so I could afford to go to Europe. That was a specific, concrete goal, and it motivated me to pay off my student loan. After I travelled, though, I started earning a bit more money, but I didn't really have another financial goal. In a way, I was drifting; my goal was simply to accumulate money. That goal was vague and boring, because it was just about hoarding pieces of paper. There's little point in accumulating money if it doesn't have some purpose. In my situation, it felt pointless, so eventually, I stopped saving as much and started spending mindlessly. Which is fine, I guess, but if I'd given it a bit more thought, I could've been saving for something that actually mattered to me.
It took me a while to realise that money is a tool, not an ideal. Personal finance isn't about accumulating tools. It's about using that tool to live the life you want. Here's how Luke Landes of Consumerism Commentary puts it:
Money is only worth what you can do with it...So when I hear that someone's goal is to have a nest egg of ten million dollars, it is an empty goal. This goal is nothing more than having bits and bytes in a certain configuration on a certain server in a database record associated with your identity. I accept that it will be difficult to get the bytes to arrange in that fashion, but look beyond this. What would you like to do with that money?...Assign your goals to the reasons you are saving money, not the money itself.
That last sentence pretty much sums up what people think personal finance is versus what it's actually about. I also like the way writer Colin Wright puts it over at Big Picturing:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with money, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing more of it, if doing so will help you become more you, and allow you to do more of what makes you feel alive. It's also important to have enough so that you can keep a roof over your head and food on the table: I'm certainly not suggesting that the desire to have any money is a waste of time, particularly when it allows us to sustain the societal fundamentals.
Just make sure you know why you're pursuing it. That you see the big picture and allow it to guide your steps.
In short, money is not the focus. It's not about busting your arse at a job you hate so you can earn pieces of paper and then one day retire and finally relax. It's about using money to pursue more of what you want in life. That might even mean saving enough to leave the job you hate and do something you actually enjoy instead.
It's More About Mind Than Maths
Sure, there are some basic financial rules that come with personal finance. Rules like:
- Spend less than you earn
- Pay off your debt
- Invest so your money can grow
These are important, but they're not the meat of what personal finance is really about. Most of personal finance is, well, personal. And sometimes that even means breaking these basic tenets and doing what works for you. More than maths and rules, personal finance has to do with behaviour: your habits, mindset and actions.
I'd even argue that the focus should be more on behaviour than the rules. You can read about the best methods to pay off debt all day long, but if you're not in the right mindset, you're probably not going to do it. This is precisely why the Snowball Method is the most effective for paying off debt, even though the Stack Method makes more mathematical sense.
People tend to brush off money management because they "don't care about money". Oddly enough, that's exactly why they should care about managing it. If you don't like to think about money, the best way to make sure you don't have to is to set up a system for properly managing it. Yes, personal finance has to do with money. However, it's really about learning to control it so you can get on with your life, whether that means travelling, affording the lifestyle you want or paying your bills without worry.

In FY2019 President Trump's budget request called for elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), along with the National Endowment for the Arts, Institute for Museum and Library Services, and Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
In stark contrast, Congress approved NEH's budget request of $155 million, including $48 million in core support provided to state humanities councils.
This overwhelmingly positive support is a direct result of strategic, consistent communication with members of Congress. THANK YOU to all who advocated on behalf of NEH and state humanities councils!
For FY2020 President Trump's budget proposal again requests elimination of NEH and other federal cultural agencies. We strongly believe that Congress will once again support state humanities councils' work to strengthen education and civic engagement for residents across the nations—but we cannot rest on our laurels. Continued advocacy is crucial!
What Can You Do?
- Call your elected officials in their Washington D.C. or local congressional offices, or both, and tell them how important humanities programs are to you and your community. Your statement doesn't need to be long, and you don't need to present a perfectly crafted argument. Simply describe how a humanities program transformed, inspired, or enlightened you, and be sure to thank the officials for the funding that made that program possible.
- Attend a member of Congress's town hall or other open meeting.
- Email the member if you are unable to place a call or attend a meeting.
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspapers and magazines.
- Create a buzz on social media. Follow your elected officials, and tell them why humanities programming is important. Tag PHC on Facebook and Twitter.
- Provide PHC with stories, testimonials, recent press, and other materials that demonstrate the impact of the humanities in your community.
- Sign up for our Advocacy Alerts. At crucial points in the budget process, we will provide specific steps you can take to advocate for the humanities.
Report Back
Thank you for your support. Please be sure to let us know what actions you have taken and what you have learned. With your help, we will keep the humanities in action and create positive change in Pennsylvania!

Cutting parts to size usually involves making several different types of cuts with multiple tools. In this section we've described most of the standard cutting operations you're likely to encounter while woodworking. For each operation we've suggested what we believe to be the best method, as well as a few alternatives that can get the job done adequately if you don't own the suggested tool.
The essential cuts you'll make time and again are rips cuts (for width) and cross cuts (for length). As your skills advance and the complexity of the projects you undertake increase's, you'll also need to make miter and bevel cuts, tapers, curved cuts, pattern-following cuts, edge-profile cuts and resaw-ing stock for thickness.
All of these cuts can be made with portable hand tools. But you'll generally get faster, more accurate results with stationary sawing tools. Of these, the table saw and the power miter saw are the most versatile. A band saw and a scroll saw are also valuable additions as you develop your workshop.

Last weekend I was standing with a couple of friends discussing the way that the finer points of alignment in a yoga pose intersect with yoga philosophy when one of them sighed. "We're such yoga geeks" She said. "Sometimes I wish I was a beginner again." We all nodded our heads in agreement remembering the innocent pleasure of discovering yoga.
As a teacher, I can taste the giddy excitement of discovery when I teach beginners. The benefits and insights that arise from practicing yoga come quickly and copiously when you first begin to practice regularly. It seems that every practice brings new understanding and it lights up everyone in the room. Once people become more experienced they also become jaded. It is much harder to please a room full of experienced yogis than a room full of beginners. We want to taste the excitement of revelation, and we expect our teachers to deliver it to us again and again.
Jnana shakti is the power of knowledge. When we discover a new passion, the first thing we do is to educate ourselves. We learn everything we can, and then try to tell everyone we know what we've learned. It is jnana shakti that convinces so many passionate yogis to take a teacher training, whether we wind up actually teaching or not. Thrilled with the benefits of our yoga practice, we intuitively know that sharing our knowledge will give us more access to it.
According to the Samkya system of Indian philosophy (which greatly influenced yoga philosophy) there are 3 ways of knowing. Authority (someone you trust told you so), inference (logical deduction) and direct sense perception (your own experience). These run in order from most external (unmesha) to most internal (nimesha). Knowing something because someone told you is very different from knowing something you've experienced yourself.
Knowledge, while clearly powerful, is also limiting. The more knowledge we have about a topic, the more closed-minded we tend to be about it. As the Zen priest Shunryu Suzuki said "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few." When we believe we know one thing, we often discard its opposite, though our world is one of paradox and complexity.
The stronger our internal connection (nimesha) to what we know, the more confident we feel about that knowledge. That doesn't always translate to the knowledge being more accurate. The deep feeling of knowing often wears off over time. Some of the things we thought we KNEW when we were younger are embarrassing to remember now. A renewed humility arises when discover that what we thought we knew was only a part of the picture. Other times, what feel like deep truths in a moment are forgotten without direct relevance to our daily lives.
The teachings of yoga suggest that we already have access to all the knowledge we need through our connection with the one big energy that runs through everything. The forgetting that we experience as ignorance or suffering is a condition of our embodiment. Through this experience of forgetting, we are able to taste the sweet nectar of revelation. As we dive deeper into our chosen passions, we experience the same revelations again and again. Sometimes we had forgotten the previous incarnation of knowing, and sometimes the revelation is a deepening of knowledge we already held.
When we admit that we only see a part of the picture, we remain open to the mysteries yet untapped. True knowledge should open us more to the possibilities of our lives, not cut ourselves off from them. Consider the character of Yoda, full of knowing and yet playful and almost childlike, Yoda is a caricature that points to truth. We don't have to be short, green, and talk funny to embody the essence of confidence and humility. We just have to keep seeking knowledge while remaining open-minded and open-hearted.

Review | Mazuri Organics Olive Oil Hair Mayonnaise Steam Treatment
Price: £3.99
Product Description:
- Conditions and detangles
- Repairs Damaged hair
- Adds moisture and shine
Water (Aqua), Olive Oil (Olea Europea), Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Polyquaternium-32, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Cetyl Alcohol, Lanolin, DL Panthenol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Menthol, Camphor, Cholesterol, Benzophenone-4, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate, Egg Protein, Carrot Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Parsley Flakes, Extract of Arnica Montana Flower, Centalla Asiatica, Urtica Dioca, Peppermint Leaf, Capsicum Annuum and Cochlearia, Aromoracia (Horseradish) Root, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Fragrance (Parfum).
I decided to give this line of products a go. After all, the first products that I started my hair journey with were Olive oil based products (Organic root stimulator brand).
NB: this has Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and a silicone in it - I know some readers are not particularly fond of these two! On the other hand, it has a host of other beneficial ingredrients (some are highlighted in purple).
This was a refreshing experience.
I'll be honest. I LOVE me some hair mayonnaise treatments! They are my fave way of getting a bit of protein into my strands without worrying about hard hair afterwards (protein-overload).
This is a thick light green conditioner, which is easy to apply throughout the hair. My hair was not stuck together once I had (subjectively) enough conditioner in each section. I was able to braid the hair up quite easily. The menthol and peppermint content also made for a nicely tingly scalp :)
I then steamed my hair using my tabletop steam conditioner for 15 minutes.
After rinsing, co-washing and rinsing again (as my usual routine goes), I used my microfibre towel to partially dry the hair. I will mention that it took a few rinses to remove all of this conditioner, but that is my usual finding with hair mayonnaise treatments.
I found that my hair was SOFT, EASY to finger DETANGLE and then style.
I'll see if hair breakage is reduced by this after a couple more uses though.
♥♥♥♥ - I'll keep using this until it runs out as it does the job very well.
If this sounds up your alley, it can be found online at http://www.pakcosmetics.com/ or at a local Paks Cosmetics store, UK.

L.A. International Wine & Spirits Giveaway
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="L.A. International Wine & Spirits Competition"][/caption] A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of tasting the fruits of labor of those having judged over 4,000 wines for the L.A. International Wine & Spirits competition. Originating at the L.A. County Fair 71 years ago, the competition arose out of awarding medals to the finest California wines. Since then, it's expanded to not only international wines but liquors and even olive oils. The competition is also symbolic of a love of wine from all different walks of life, including the sports star power of Tommy Lasorda, Mario Andretti and Greg Norman - who are all entrant winemakers. And let's not forget Francis Ford Coppola and his winery. How very L.A., indeed. This is where you come in. I'm giving away a "swag bag" with a $75 value. Included are:
- A variety of winning wine and spirits from this year's competition
- A pair of tickets to the upcoming L.A. County Fair
- Vouchers to the wine-tasting seminars at this year's Fair
The L.A. County Fair this year is from September 4 - October 3, 2010. So make sure you aren't out of town during that entire time so you can take advantage of the tickets should you win. I think the most exciting part are the vouchers to the wine-tasting seminars at the Fair. OK - free booze is great, too. ;) But you might as well learn about what you're drinking, while you're at it, right? To enter, leave a comment below, detailing what you're most looking forward to at the Fair. You can also enter by Tweeting:
"I entered to win LA Int'l Wine & Spirits swag bag & LA Cty Fair tix at: http://estar.la/e/6t via @estarLA"
So, you can enter a total of 2 times! Contest is closed a week from today, July 4, at 4 PM. At that time I'll pick the winner using a randomizer. Then, I'll contact you to get address info, and the goodies will be shipped directly to you. Good luck, and have a great weekend!
Saturday, September 4 - Sunday, October 3, 2010
L.A. County Fair 1101 W. McKinley Ave. Pomona, CA 91768 909.623.3111
Open Labor Day weekend, closed subsequent Mondays & Tuesdays (23 days and nights)

What yeast does a fine wine company use?View larger image
A crucial component in winemaking is the yeast that actually carries out the fermentation of the alcohol - but what strains of yeast does the typical fine wine company use?
The answer is that the yeasts used all over the world are surprisingly similar, according to genetic analysis carried out by the Australian Wine Research Institute and published by the Genetics Society of America.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast generally used in winemaking, as it is better able to withstand the acid levels in the original grape juice, which mean the yeasts used in beer and bread would not survive.
But after analysing 212 different strains of the yeast, scientists found that all of them were very nearly identical, and any genetic diversity was likely due to hybridisation with other yeasts, such as those used in brewing.
That doesn't mean that every fine wine company uses an identical yeast though - for instance in four strains, a unique set of genes were detected, and these give wines fermented by those yeasts a unique aromatic quality.
Anthony Borneman, lead author on the paper from the Australian Wine Research Institute, said: "It takes a tough yeast to ferment wine. Wine yeast need to be far more stress tolerant than strains used in brewing or baking, for example, to cope with the very high sugar and acidity levels of grape juice.
"Our results show that only a limited branch of the yeast evolutionary tree is currently used in winemaking."
The findings provide some insight into the origins of the different commercially available wine yeasts - for example, nearly all premium champagne yeasts seem to share the same common ancestor - and may help to develop new variations for the future, allowing the winemaking process to evolve into new territory thanks to new genetic diversity in the yeast that is used.

Green Bay Packers Quarterbacks -Training Camp-
Aaron Rodgers looks sharp, despite the lack of practice time this year. He has to be considered among the leagues elite quarterbacks. He is in the Drew Brees category, just above guys like Phillip Rivers and Matt Ryan, and just below guys like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The factor that really boosts him up is his age. He is younger than Manning and Brady, thus if I was choosing a dream QB to lead my team I would choose Rodgers over anybody right now.
Matt Flynn is in the final year of his contract, and I suspect he will be somewhere else next year. He has starting quarterback written all over him, someone will pay him starters money, and there is no way the Packers will be able to afford him as a back up. Some have suggested trading him first, but after Rodgers suffered two concussions last season I would lean toward keeping him around as security against the possibility that Rodgers may miss some time again this season.
Graham Harrell is your typical third stringer. He shows promise and is an excellent QB. His physical limitations may preclude him from ever being an elite prospect, but he is a damn good football player with an excellent college resume.
I have only two concerns with this years crop of QB's. The first is Rodgers concussion history. My concern there is more for him than the team. The team can survive him missing a game or two, I just hope the problem does not linger and threaten the young man's long term health. The second is the lack of a developmental QB on the roster. With Flynn set to leave this year, I would like see a QB on the practice squad.
