Amazing Cleanser & Conditioner! Worked For Me!I am a 31 year old woman with a family history of thin hair. I've always had thin hair but recently I noticed some very thin spots near my hairline. I started using Nixoin at the beginning of January (2011), in addition to the vitamin supplement "DHT Blocker" (also on this site). Since then I have noticed incredible amount of new hair growth and in fact, my stylist noticed the other week when I was getting my hair colored. She told me I had a ton of new hair coming in. She asked what I was using and when I told her Nixoin, she said alot of her other clients use this as well. I can't wait to see what my hair will look like in the next three months! This is a solution I will be using for a very long time :)Mar 14, 2011SharonHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Controls FrizzSince menopause (I'm 58), my once-shiny hair has become a frizz-ball. My hairdresser recommended the Nioxin System 4 shampoo for my fuzzy, thinning, color-treated hair. I've only used it 3 times, so I can't attest to its effectiveness for thickening the hair, but from the first use, it made my hair soft, silky, shiny. Even before I use conditioner, my wet hair feels completely different - like I've already conditioned it. And when dry, it approaches my former beautiful locks. On cosmeticsdatabase.com, it says Nioxin shampoo is somewhat toxic (a 7 out of 10), with ingredients linked to cancer, etc. I only wash my hair once a week, so I'll probably keep using it, but I thought I should mention that drawback.Dec 5, 2010Ellen B. / Stamford CTHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Hope For Thinning Hair!I have been using the shampoo and conditioner 3 for thin looking chemically enhanced hair for about 4 months now. I recently switched hairsprays to Nioxin also. I have definitley noticed that I am not losing hair like I was on a daily basis. I have also noticed much more new growth in my bangs. I am convinced this product is the reason. I have had thinning hair for a few years now, and it has always been a downer for me. FINALLY, I feel like there is hope for my hair. I don't believe in miracles, but this is close! I guess a scientific breakthrough is more like it.....whatever, it's great. It takes a few months to really notice anything, just stick with it. It works!Sep 26, 2010Debby / Ohio

Works Without OverdryingI started using this after I experienced some thinning hair after a hysterectomy several years ago. I can say that my individual hairs and overall hair amount started to thicken back up after around 6 months of use. I have been shampooing with this ever since. My 40 yr old color treated, iron straightened hair is in fabulous condition, and certainly not thin. Well worth the money.Jun 26, 2010Bizzeeb

I hate them. The gap between how funny they are, and how funny they think they are is ridiculous. Who pays to see this kack?
Demetrius Romeo - 01/01/2004
Owes a lot to Julian & Sandy, Morecambe & Wise, French & Saunders and the British 'panto' tradition. Although a lot less disciplined than their radio work, still a lot of fun and very funny.
Keith Bond - 31/08/2003
Total brilliance - the funnist show at the festival
Lisy - 25/08/2003
I laughed till I hurt at their self-aware show which just took the piss out of both themselves and the media throughout. Clever, silly and bloody hilarious.

Rasa is a fantastic trainer. She has been flexible for my 7 year old who needed to do a morning lesson before school on Fridays. Cost is also competitive and worth it for the Great service.
My daughter has been having lessons for a while now but it's only since she started under Rasa's tutoring that I have really seen her blossom. She is a spirited child but she is so happy and focused when riding at Hartwood. Rasa has been so amazing at being able to pinpoint what she needs from week to week.

Why are chickens important? In this World Vision Gift Catalog video, four kids consider the value of donkeys, rabbits, and chickens — animals that donors can give through the catalog to a family that needs them.
As we enter the Christmas season, let's take a moment to remember where all of our traditions began, and to share the joy of that story with the people around us.
This Christmas season, join us as we come together to share #joy with the world! Every day in December until Christmas, follow our Advent-style project and complete the daily challenges to bring joy to the people around you and around the world.
Almost a billion people don't have access to clean water, and more than 4,000 children die every day because of dirty water. Today, let's do something about it! Join World Vision's advocacy team in sharing the joy of clean water by asking Congress to pass the Water for the World Act.
For Cyber Monday today and #GivingTuesday tomorrow, we're recommending our Top 5 items from the World Vision Gift Catalog. See which ones we chose as our favorites … maybe they'll be yours, too!
Starting today, you can "Share joy with the world" by participating in daily challenges from now until Christmas. Follow our Advent-inspired holiday project over the next 25 days by subscribing to the blog and checking back every day for a new story and challenge.
Happy Thanksgiving! Today, World Vision writer Kari Costanza describes the best meal she ever had, in San Mateo, Mexico — where a VisionFund microloan empowered Kari's hosts, Yolanda and Silverio, to open a taco stand and better support their family.
The Melghat region of India is known for its high rates of child malnutrition. In response to this challenge, World Vision India devised an innovative technique for change, not only targeting attitude and behavior, but also aiming to address the source of the problem, with … a cooking contest!
Chris Weeks, from World Vision United Kingdom, describes his first experience of the devastated city of Tacloban in the Philippines. Now two weeks after the storm hit, relief efforts are well underway and reaching the survivors that need them while the people of Tacloban are finding the strength to begin rebuilding their city.
Last September, 8 World Vision bloggers traveled to Guatemala to witness child sponsorship at work. In today's post, blogger Roo Ciambriello reflects back on that trip and recalls a moment at the end of our visit with Monica, a former sponsored child, that taught us all a beautiful lesson about giving. This post originally appeared on Roo's blog, Neon Fresh.
One of World Vision's primary responses to disasters like Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines is the distribution of Family Food Kits and Hygiene Kits to survivors. On our Facebook page this week, we posted photos of the contents of these kits – but purchased here in the USA – and asked our followers to guess how much the items would cost. That price versus the price of each World Vision Kit might surprise you!
Less than two weeks ago, for the people of the central islands of the Philippines, this beautiful planet turned harsh and scary. Now, the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan look ahead toward recovery with hope.
On Thursday morning, World Vision completed a well-organized and calm distribution of food and hygiene kits in northern Cebu, benefiting 780 families, nearly 4,000 people.
This series of photos comes directly from our team on the ground in the Philippines, showing the smiles that this first distribution of relief supplies brought to the waiting survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
An aid worker's diary: today, Mikhaela De Leon -- media engagement officer for World Vision Philippines -- reflects on her experience of Typhoon Haiyan and why God brought her to Tacloban on that day.
In the devastating wake of Typhoon Haiyan (locally named Yolanda), a small table in a cramped village hall serves as baby Patrick's new home. Curled in a corner, baby Patrick is in a deep sleep, unaware of what just happened in his hometown.
When Teerasak's home in Thailand flooded, his world was turned upside-down. Now, at a World Vision Child-Friendly Space, he and 40 other children have found a place where they can learn, play, talk about their experiences, and simply be kids again.
Marina and Vjollca grew up on opposite sides of the Serbian-Albanian conflict. Now, as co-workers with World Vision, they've become friends. Together, they're working to break down the barriers between their cultures and to change the mentality of the next generation through World Vision's summer camps.
I went to Kosovo to learn about friendship between Serbian and Albanian children. Growing up in Albania, I often heard how these two groups live and work in close proximity but hardly ever interact.
I wanted to explore the friendships forming between the two groups of the new generation. It seemed the best place to do this was from the inside, so attending one of World Vision's summer camps was a good place to start.
After Typhoon Washi hit the Philippines in 2011, many communities began participating in World Vision's child-focused disaster risk reduction training.
Now, in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, widely reported to be the strongest tropical cyclone in history, our prayers go out to the people of the Philippines, hoping that advance training and emergency plans will help mitigate the destruction left by this storm.
Aaron Aspi, communicator for World Vision in the Philippines, describes last summer's disaster risk-reduction training.

"I love the Chinese Laundry brand so I didn't hesitate when I saw these colorful wedges. They are high but comfortable. My size can run from 6.5 to 7.5 depending on the shoe. 7.5 is perfect in this shoe and this brand. I got quite a few compliments and was able to wear them all day."

"I LOVE these. They're comfortable and totally hot. I've worn them with jeans, skirts, a dress, etc., and it just keeps getting better. They're easy to walk in and haven't frayed or pulled anywhere in spite of the amount of wear they've gotten. And I never fail to get at least one "where did you get those shoes" comment when I wear them. HIGHLY recommend!"

Karen Truman from the Community Theatre was on hand to request a donation from Emery County for the Community Theatre. Their production for 2009 will be Lil Abner and will include a large cast. "It's a silly and fun show," said Truman. In 2008 the production was the Sound of Music. The commission approved a $250 donation for the community theatre. Truman also said in the off year of the Castle Valley Pageant, the community theatre would like to do a large production during fair time to give the people coming to the fair something else to do. The Castle Valley Pageant will be presented in 2008 and skip 2009 and back in 2010.
The commission looked at a request from Joe Jensen for a lot fee waiver for the Lawrence Cemetery. He purchased six lots in 1986, but needs the documentation saying he already owns them. The commission approved this action. The commission approved the repair of the Ferron Library roof. Stilson Construction was awarded the bid.
In other business an ambulance write-off was give for a deceased patient.
The commission approved a roll-up door for the office for the new swimming pool. This item wasn't included in the bid.
The commission approved Commissioner Jeff Horrocks to vote representing the county at the Emery Telcom annual meeting on May 8 at Canyon View Junior High.
Martin Wilson was approved as a member of the Board of the Southeastern Utah Health Department. He will fill the position of Kent Wilson who recently resigned after serving several terms. Martin Wilson has a new position with State Homeland Security and this appointment to the board fits with what he is doing there.
Under citizen concerns, Randall Stilson thanked the commission for their work in obtaining the easement for the Southeastern Utah OHV Club on the poker ride property. He said that ride was held recently and had a good turnout and great weather. This easement saved the club a lot of money in fees they didn't have to pay SITLA.
The commission approved the election judges for the upcoming elections. In February, Brenda Dugmore, county clerk sent applications out to party chairmen for applications. They were due back by April 1. The following were approved for judges. Donald E. Riddle, Patrick Sundstrom, Shonna Petersen, Mistie Christiansen (alt), Katherine Singleton, Evelyn Huntsman, Gayle Ewell, JoAnn Behling, Lynette Withers, Paula Lucas, Lisa Jones, Barbara Workman, Sue Simmons, Jennifer Fauver, Sandra Oman, Dwayne Story, Melanie Thompson (alt), Marianne Judi, Dixie Thompson, Patricia Sanders, Eileen Lofthouse, Lori Rogers, Linda Wilberg, Loyette Holdaway, Ruby Luane Wilson, Linda Daley, Michelle Anderson, Maryella Fowler, Josie Luke, Evelyn Bird, Korene Merrell, Linda Jensen, Deanna Hansen, Mary Lofley, Carl Mortensen, Lucille Willson (alt), Vicki Bayles, Maxine Hall, Charlot Uptain Pogue, and Iona Ekker (alt).
Under personnel items it was approved for Mike McCandless to begin the process for the hiring of a building inspector. Bob Bennett has resigned his position, but will be retained in the interim to take care of inspections until a replacement can be hired. A position in the road department has also become available with the retirement of Grant Nelson. The road department will begin recruitment of an equipment operator Level II. Jerilyn Mathis for the library has recommended an increase for Sherie Packer because her six month orientation has been completed. In the recorders office, Dixie Swasey has recommended Janet Damron be hired for part-time work.
Commissioner Kofford reported on a grant for Four Corners Behavioral Health to be used in prevention programs for the three county area.
The Lila Canyon contract was signed with the Special Service District number one for the monies which will cover the design construction for the Lila Canyon road.
Phases III and IV of the South Moore Cut-off road is 75 percent complete. The granular barrow is being put on the road and the road base will top that. "It's proceeding well," said Commissioner Kofford.
In Commissioner Jeff Horrock's report he stated he attended the women's conference where Delena Fish was named woman of the year. "We would like to congratulate her on that," said Horrocks. He said they met with the board of directors from the John Wesley Powell Museum on funding and upkeep of the museum. They discussed Green River history and how it fits into the museum along with the river history. Green River City owns the museum and the county adds Transient Room Taxes to their budget to help operate the museum. The county held their auction which was well attended.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said Commissioner Kofford was recently appointed an advisor to the SITLA board which will be an advantage to Emery County having him sit on that board. Sitterud told of the grant the county has applied for to aid in the constructing of roads and water for the Green River Industrial Park. The county is opposed to the landscape bill which would add another BLM layer to public lands. Emery and Uintah counties have spoke against it. There is a movement to close duck hunting at Huntington North reservoir. Sitterud told them if they are going to amend the resource management plan for Huntington North it needs to go through an open public process.
Kofford said he attended a road meeting with UDOT to talk about roads in our region. Wellington to Sunnyside is being worked on to make that all four lanes. The Tucker rest area on SR-6 will be taken out and a new rest area will be constructed at Skyline. UDOT has obtained the property there at Skyline. This project will be 2009-10. UDOT plans on doing the Moore to Emery road next year.
Kofford mentioned the work being done on the Lawrence Cemetery. He asked anyone knowing who lies in the unmarked graves to let the IT department know so they can add the information to the map of the cemetery. A notice will also be posted on the kiosk at the cemetery so anyone visiting there for Memorial Day and at other times can be aware that additional information is needed on the people buried in Lawrence.

Home Lighting for Less
For Raleigh, NC, handywoman Brittany Bailey, 40, getting her garage-cum-workroom into shape was top priority. "I spend as much time in there as I do in my kitchen or home office," says Brittany, who chronicles her home improvement projects—everything from birdhouse building to installing custom bookshelves—on her blog, PrettyHandyGirl.com. The space had the basics (a workbench, a pegboard wall), but it was a dreary, visually crowded spot to work in. So Brittany used what she had on hand, including scrap lumber and finds from Habitat for Humanity's ReStore building supply store, to make the garage more functional—and happy. "Now it's so bright and organized, I love working in here!" she says.
Use vertical space
The pegboard was in place when the family moved in, but Brittany had just haphazardly hung up her gear. Now, the tools are arranged so that the most frequently used items are easily accessible: garden tools near the garage entrance (close to the yard), sports equipment farther in where she loads up the car trunk, and tools within arm's reach of her workbench. "It's so much easier to find something when I need it!"
Add personalized extras
Brittany used a $10 sheet of metal air conditioning duct to make a backsplash that holds inspiring images, then turned retired paintbrushes into cabinet door handles (find the tutorial on her blog). A quirky sign finishes off the space.
Create usable workstations
The original workbench wasn't ideal: The center section was a solid panel, so Brittany had to reach in awkwardly from the side to remove items. At first, she just took off the panel, but the cluttered shelves were an eyesore. As a fix, Brittany added a pair of doors with radiator screen inserts to the opening, keeping the contents easily accessible but out of sight. A rolling cart holds her power tools (drills, a power paint sprayer), so she can grab what she wants or wheel it farther into the garage for bigger projects.

Margaret Michaelis
Love, loss and photography
7 May – 14 August 2005
Margaret Michaelis: love, loss and photography, an illustrated biography and exhibition by guest curator Helen Ennis, will be launched at 11.30 am on Saturday 14 May at the National Gallery of Australia by author and media commentator David Marr.
Margaret Michaelis's story is one that belongs to the twentieth century. A Jewish modernist photographer, her life was shaped by momentous historical events: the rise of fascism in Germany and Spain, and the outbreak of World War II. After settling in Australia she suffered acute personal losses and challenges in finding a new path for her art and life.
Like numerous other émigrés forced into exile, Michaelis arrived in Australia with very few possessions. However, she did manage to bring examples of the photographic work she had produced in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, including a small but intense series of images taken in the Jewish quarter in Cracow, that now carry the weight of history. Her other European photos include documentation of a radical modernist architectural group's revitalisation of Barcelona; many of these outstanding photos were published in leading modernist journals of the time.
Margaret Michaelis was an advocate of modernist photography, or the New Photography style, which utilised sharp focus and often unexpected vantage points. She trained in Vienna in the 1920s, where she developed her love for portraiture. She was interested in the psychological dimension of her sitters and saw photography as the ideal means for revealing the subject's essence or inner reality. Some of her most successful portraits are of Australian artists; for example, those of sculptor Lyndon Dadswell, painter Weaver Hawkins and writer Cynthia Reed.
Throughout her life Michaelis kept personal items, including a bundle of letters from her first husband, Rudolf Michaelis, an anti-fascist activist in Europe who was imprisoned for his beliefs. The letters map the course of their relationship, from the first love letters of the 1930s; to the colder, more formal letters outlining their separation and divorce; to the final letters, from the late 1960s, which deal with recovering lost memories and making peace with the past.
Guest curator Helen Ennis is Senior Lecturer, Art Theory at the Australian National University School of Art. She was Curator of Photography when Michaelis's photographs and letters were donated to the National Gallery of Australia, forming an extensive archive. Through her research Ennis uncovered an incredible story of love, politics, photography and survival. Her extensively illustrated biography weaves together aspects of Michaelis's professional and personal life, using a deliberately personal tone.

Juan de Jongh celebrated his 50th Super Rugby cap with a vital try as the Stormers beat the Sharks 22-15 at Newlands on Saturday.
Juan de Jongh celebrated his 50th Super Rugby cap with a vital try as the Stormers beat the Sharks 22-15 in a hard-fought South African derby at Newlands on Saturday.
The Springbok centre scored the only try of the game as the Stormers kept their hopes of making the play-offs alive after a poor start to the season.
The Stormers led 16-6 at the break thanks to a dominant display at scrum time from the home pack and an excellent try created by Jean de Villiers.
Joe Pietersen kicked the Stormers into a 9-0 lead by the end of the first half as their packed ruled the set pieces and Gary van Aswegen's astute kicking kept the Sharks pinned in their own half and in range of Pietersen's boot.
Patrick Lambie narrowed the gap on the half-hour mark to give the Sharks some reward for their best passage of play.
But the hosts' Springbok midfield combined brilliantly for the first and only try as De Villiers offloaded in the tackle to find De Jongh running a great line to slice through the defence and score with half time looming large.
The Sharks had a golden opportunity to reply just before the break but Frans Steyn butchered the chance by taking contact when he had a man on his outside.
The Stormers thus held a deserved 10-point advantage as the teams swapped ends.
The Sharks were in better shape after the break and Lambie's two penalties to Pietersen's one left the scores at 19-12 going into the final quarter.
Siya Kolisi crashed over after a rolling maul in the 70th minute, but was unable to roll off his back to get the ball on the grass. However Pietersen's fifth penalty crucially extended the lead beyond seven points.
Lambie landed one last penalty after the final hooter to save a bonus point for the visitors.
The scorers:
For Stormers:
Try: De Jongh

Forming presses designed for large-diameter line pipe
Graebener-Reika Inc. offers Graebener Maschinentechnik pipe forming presses for producing large-diameter line pipe used in pipeline and utility distribution systems. The presses are suited for producing pipes with increased yield points and large wall thickness-to-pipe-diameter ratios, where the forces required exceed the physical limits of traditional roll bending machines.
The presses can form a variety of pipe sizes without requiring a change of tooling. They can process large-format plates into pipes with diameters of 16 to 64 in., lengths up to 60 ft., wall thicknesses of up to 2.92 in., and grades such as x1200 and x120. For regular wall thicknesses, a special bending shoe can be used to adapt the machine.
The longitudinal edges of the metal plate are first given a chamfer. Then, through a series of steps, the plate is bent into a final O shape, creating an open tube that first is tack welded and then submerged arc welded at a separate station.

Networking Tips
Aptly defined by the dictionary as a supportive system for sharing information and services among individuals and groups with a common interest, being part of a network can link you with people who, through trust and relationship-building, essentially become human advertisements for you. Networking is especially helpful as you begin to move forward in your career. Having a relationship with someone who is connected to others in your industry will help you stand out to potential employers, and may also help you get your foot in the door at places you may not have the opportunity otherwise. Here are a few tips to help get you started.
a. People enjoy talking about themselves. Asking questions will get a conversation going every time.
b. When you show an interest in people and their companies, they feel flattered and will generally reciprocate your interest.c. Believe in yourself. You have more to offer than you might think.

The Rise and Fall of Darryl Sutter - Part 4: The Sutter Culture
Kent Wilson
January 27 2011 01:53PM
Pundits have already begun wondering when the Saddledome will be renamed the "Sutterdome."
"The face of the franchise" is a title usually bestowed on a star athlete: the high scoring center, the hard-hitting defender or the impenetrable goaltender. In Calgary, Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff have often shared the honor over the past decade.
The truth, however, is that Darryl Sutter was the face of the Calgary Flames during his tenure. In the wake of his early successes and subsequent deification, Sutter was handed the keys to the franchise and given carte blanche to re-make it in his own image. Sutter friends and loyalists were eventually installed from top-to-bottom throughout the organization. When Brent was hired in 2009 as the Flames head coach, he joined brothers Darryl, Ron and Duane in Calgary's front offices, for example.
The urge to surround oneself with trusted allies isn't, in and of itself, worthy of condemnation. It's an impulse indulged by most people in power to one degree or another. If carried to the nth degree, however, The result can be an overly homogeneous culture where conformity to the group and it's leader can suppress innovation, distort information and skew decision making. My contention, therefore, is that Darryl's towering presence post-cup run and his ensuing establishment of a monolithic "Sutter culture" was a non-trivial contributor to his eventual downfall.
Humans are social creatures and have a tendency to conform to communal pressures or norms. For example, In his famous "vision test" experiment, Soloman Asch showed that people will tend to go all along with a strong consensus, even when competing evidence to the contrary is obvious:
In the basic Asch paradigm, the participants — the real subjects and the confederates — were all seated in a classroom. They were asked a variety of questions about the lines such as how long is A, compare the length of A to an everyday object, which line was longer than the other, which lines were the same length, etc. The group was told to announce their answers to each question out loud. The confederates always provided their answers before the study participant, and always gave the same answer as each other. They answered a few questions correctly but eventually began providing incorrect responses.
In a control group, with no pressure to conform to an erroneous view, only one subject out of 35 ever gave an incorrect answer. Solomon Asch hypothesized that the majority of people would not conform to something obviously wrong; however, when surrounded by individuals all voicing an incorrect answer, participants provided incorrect responses on a high proportion of the questions (32%). Seventy-five percent of the participants gave an incorrect answer to at least one question.
In another seminal study, Stanley Milgram showed that people are willing to suspend personal judgments at the behest of an authority figure. Participants in the experiment were told to administer electric shocks to other ostensible volunteers in increasing 15-volts increments, eventually rising to potentially fatal levels. He found a majority of the participants (65%) followed through to the 450-volt shock peak when prodded by "the experimenter", despite grave misgivings and (feigned) screams from the victim.
Consensus and expertise are clearly two of the strongest ways to increase conformity. In The Social Animal, Elliot Aronson notes that conformity is better induced in a group if it consists of experts. The power of perceived expertise is echoed in Dan Gardners latest book Future Babble when he discusses the seductiveness of perceived confidence:
The confidence heuristic...isn't necessarily a conscious decision path. We may not actually say to ourselves "She's so sure of herself she must be right!" It's something that happens at the edge of consciousness or even without any awareness at all...We simply hear the person speak and suddenly we have that sense that, yes, she is probably right.
Confidence, expertise and consensus - all powerful factors in conjuring conformity in groups.
Not that conformity is necessarily a bad thing in group endeavors. In fact, conforming to team goals and coaches expectations is venerated in sports in general and hockey in particular. Hockey culture is one that is profoundly masculine in it's tone and timbre: players are expected to be stoic and selfless; to "play through pain" and battle every shift. Violence is not only expected but lauded. The consistent war analogies that appear in hockey analysis and commentary are not coincidental. The two worst pejoratives to hurl at a hockey player are selfish and soft.
As such, the game tends to organize itself around a basic "war time" model: rigid top-down formations with decision makers doling out orders to troops. And into this milieu stepped the deified Darryl Sutter...
"Charisma" isn't a word that is often used to describe the Flames erstwhile general manager. To be charming or charismatic usually means to be an engaging orator with the power to please or delight. Sutter, however, was the antipode of such things with his short, curt manner of speech and open disdain for the media. Ironically, His tactiurn nature is precisely why he was such a compelling figure in Calgary initially. Unbending and unapologetic in his manner and methods, Sutter seemed the ideal inoculation against the years of fecklessness and failure that had infected the franchise previously. He was in action and in attitude a man's man and the archetypal general to the troops in the war-like culture of the NHL. The aspects of his personality that are so often parodied now in light of his failures were actually celebrated earlier as signs of confidence, expertise and strength. He was clearly a man who was completely sure of himself and, at first, there was little reason to doubt that esteem.
Sutter therefore aroused fervent devotion in town in part because of his surly demeanor, not in spite of it. Combined with the legitimacy he garnered through the various success and factors I have detailed previously, the table was set for him to become an unquestioned autocrat within the organization.
Confirmation Bias and Groupthink
In Greek tragedies, the fatal flaw of the doomed protagonist is often hubris, or extreme pride. That insight has proven to be an universal truth of the human condition, although not because the gods tend to punish arrogance as the Greeks suggested in their mythos. The true downfall of pride is that no man has perfect knowledge nor is perfectly rational. The human mind has various biases that tend to privilege that which we already know (or assume is true) while simultaneously ignoring facts that are inconvenient or inconsistent with our beliefs. The heuristic is called the confirmation bias and it affects everyone from simpletons to geniuses. This tendency is actually adaptive in some ways: it allows our cognition to stay on even footing by making facts permanent in our thoughts and lessens gullibility. On the other hand, it can lead to stubbornness and irrationality when what we believe isn't accurate.
Naturally, most people are more or less are forced to deal with competing facts and potential cognitive dissonance frequently, so assimilation of new information and ideas occurs even if it's initially resisted. Problems crop up, however, when a person is insulated from negative feedback of their decision making or actions by power and group dynamics.
Which brings us to Groupthink, a concept developed by Irving Janis in an attempt to understand the failure of American foreign policy to predict disasters like the Bay of Pigs and Pearl Harbor. He found that in highly cohesive groups, consensus and agreement became overarching goals irrespective of other considerations. Fidelity to the group's decisions is favored above individual creativity and potentially competing strategies, information or explanations. This leads to an environment that is openly hostile to diveristy of thought or methods.
The three conditions of groupthink are: directive leadership, homogeneity of group members background/ideology and isolation of the group. The resultant symptoms of groupthink include:
- Illusion of invulnerability
- Illusion of unanimity
- Unquestioned belief
- Direct pressure to conform
- Stereotyping opponents
- Rationalizing warnings or competing info
- Mindguards or members who actively censor competing info
Groupthink is confirmation bias writ large. Conformity run amok. Earlier I noted that conformity is not necessarily a bad thing when goals are simple and a high level of cohesion is optimal. That ceases to be true when issues become more complex or strategies are longer term. Information gathering and ruthless attention to feedbacks (ie; results and what they mean), including failures and bad news is required. It's one thing to send the troops over the next hill. It's quite another to project the consequences of, say, invading another country. Similarly in hockey, it's one thing getting the guys to trap or finish their checks. It's quite another to build rosters, project performance, negotiate salaries, etc.
Groupthink isn't merely the uncritical nodding heads of obsequious yes-men. The process is far more insidious than spineless underlings simply agreeing with the boss out of fear. It is a dynamic that systematically prunes and shapes information to make the groups final judgments seem perfectly singular, rational and without challenge. As was noted above in the Asch experiments, people tend to abandon even obviously reasonable judgments in the face of perceived consensus. Imagine, then, smart men one after the other agreeing that the shorter line is indeed longer while debasing suggestions to the contrary. The emperors new clothes may be invisible but they are nonetheless resplendent. It is agreed.
This relates to Darryl Sutter and the Calgary Flames in obvious ways. The organization ticked all the groupthink boxes during his tenure: highly directive leader, homogeneity of group members, rigid top-down organizational structure, perceived expertise, confidence, consensus. Owing to his apparent infallibility early on and resultant power within the franchise, there's no question Sutter was rather uninterested in suggestions he might not be right now and then. His passive aggressive hectoring of the press, even in the face of perfectly reasonable questions, was a frequent public display of Sutter's penchant for minimizing or rationalizing failures while simultaneously dismissing opposition to his work as stupid or ill-informed.
With these factors and his actions in retrospect, it's probable that Darryl fashioned himself an echo chamber and considered any other sound he heard to be noise. Unfortunately, no man, however knowledgeable or intelligent, is infallible. Darryl's establishment of a "Sutter Kingdom" in the Flames organization made him deaf to the evidence of his short-comings, skewed his perspective and hampered his ability to make rational decisions by the end.

Great article, Kent. The number of leaders who recognize and take measures to eliminate 'groupthink' is pretty small. Kennedy was successful in learning from the mistakes of Bay of Pigs when he installed people who would challenge the status quo onto his executive council during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
There's no doubt that Darryl installed 'like-thinking' people (his family for the most part) into crucial positions and it would be interesting to see how many NHL front-offices exhibit some of the same characteristics.
Sutter's atrocious and condescending manner to the press always left me the impression that he was like a gambler deep in the hole, looking for that one big win to get him even with the house again. I'm sure he feels he would have turned it around if left alone to do his work.
...really enjoyed this one Kent. Great job.
January 27 2011, 03:07PM
one has to wondor how much of the teams recent 'success' can be attributed to the overall change in atmosphere in the organization. - My thinking is: More than a little!
Great stuff Kent. In my mind this is the central cause of the collapse of the Flames under Sutter.
One error I noticed though... The worst pejorative you can use against a hockey player isn't selfish or soft, its actually: "You play like Olli Jokinen." Often this is simply shortened to a muttered, "Olli Jokinen," said under one's breath while their head is shaking back and forth. I'm sure the toughest of the league would be reduced to tears when admonished in this way.
In other words, he was an egotistical ass.
a good article dood, although i think it might be a bit high brow. i agree with all your points none the less, even though some of it required a second reading to get a full understanding of what was said.
i actually believe he started to believe his own press clippings...'in Sutter we trust' what a crock
January 27 2011, 04:10PM
I posted this elsewhere, but I think it's worth looking at again, especially in a D Sutter article.
Anton Babchuk (with Flames this season) 34 Games, 3G 11A - 14P +5 Dion Phanuef (2011/2011 season) 33 Games, 1G 10A - 11P -8
You have to give some of that to the fact that Dion's playing for the Leafs and not the Flames. It would have been interesting to see his numbers all things being equal. But they're really not.
You have to give some of that to the fact that Dion's playing for the Leafs and not the Flames. It would have been interesting to see his numbers all things being equal. But they're really not.
...that's funny, because there was a debate on Flamesnation not so long ago where many thought the Flames were in equal, if not worse shape than the Leafs.
I definitely loved how Sutter initially confronted every media question with that raised eyebrow and look that said, 'what are you, a moron?' But then Darryl brought in Olli, then brought him in again. The media, in turn, increasingly turned the question around on Darryl.
And all he had was that look. Or else its verbal equivalent.
That's when it started becoming a little less clear who the moron really was.
I think this was what did it for me...
... after that I was done with Sutter.
Really enjoying this series Kent. I think you are painting a pretty accurate picture of the Sutter era. This one in particular does a pretty good job explaining the shift in perception about him (I remember thinking how great it was to watch his passive aggressive "I know better" media scrums early on, and how completely aggravating they were at the end), and accounting for why his decisions seemed to go from "can't go wrong" to completely baffling towards the end. Pretty fair and accurate I think.
And the analogies and high-brow references... You sound like you had an actual education! :) Great stuff! Looking forward to the last entries. Are you going to do any farewell bit for Conroy? Certainly deserves it. I don't think I've ever looked forward to someone's first broadcast before!
I too, am enjoying this series on D. Sutter. It's interesting to recall back to the good times when he was in charge and how it changed.
I will say this about Sutter. I do respect that fact that he is loyal to people. Ultimately, it may have been part of the reason he lost his job, but specifically, I mean with Craig Conroy. Darryl didn't need to sign CC to another year, but through his loyalty to players that have gone through the wars for him, he gave CC the opportunity to play his 1000th game as a Flame. Any other team could have signed him this summer (I fully understand why no team did given has age), but Darryl signed him. You know with the type of contract, there were no guarantees to Craig after he played in game 1000, which ultimately is why he's in the position he is now with retirement. All the other negatives that came with Darryl aside, I think it's worthy to point this out.
February 07 2011, 03:54PM
This is a really well done series Kent. I liked your comment;
"... it's probable that Darryl fashioned himself an echo chamber and considered any other sound he heard to be noise."
As I asked you in a tweet.. It almost appeared that Sutter started to believe in his own mythology.

I agree with Vanisha!! That first photo is one for the walls, a big one for the walls. I so agree though her instagram is to die for, but can i just say so is equally yours!! My sister and I always comment on your latest photos on there (hows that for feeling like you know someone when you've never even met them haha!) I adored the pics from your birthday weekend, and saw it got quite a bit of attention :P I hope the mag published back to your blog & IG!! I honestly, truly can't believe we miss each other in Perth. I would have loved to have met you in person, and drunk coffee (a good one!!) in the warm Winters sun by the coast. As I said on IG though - we have our meet up destiny elsewhere in the world I believe. Have an amazingggg time in Aus this trip around and I"ll be following you on IG (of course!!!!) xx

A look at some of the names to watch for at this weekend's CFL Combine in Toronto.
Big Names: Defensive tackle Stefan Charles (Regina) is a legit NFL prospect while fellow DT Linden Gaydosh (Calgary) is one of the strongest players in this class. Athletic end Ben D'Aguilar is the most athletic lineman in the draft and reigning Metras Trophy winner (Top Lineman in CIS).
Burning Combine Question: Can Stefan Charles perform to his potential and prove himself to be a dominant force?
Possible Sleepers: Bishop's players notoriously step up in combine settings and Gaiter DE Elie Ngoyi matched Gaydosh with 31 reps on the bench at the East West Bowl last May. John Miniaci (Queen's) beat out both Charles and Gaydosh for a DT spot on the CIS All-Canadian team last fall.
Who's Missing?: Andy Mulumba (Eastern Michigan) is a late scratch due to a shoulder injury. As impressive as the D-Line crop will be at E-Camp, imagine how it would look if redshirts Brent Urban (DT, Virginia), Jesse Joseph (DE, Connecticut), Hosam Shahin (DT, Rice), Kalonji Kashama (DE, Eastern Michigan), and Connor Williams (DE, Utah State) were in attendance.
Random Thoughts: Although offensive line and receiver are the most "traditionally Canadian" positions in the CFL, this is the second consecutive year that the D-Line has been the marquee group in the draft.
Big Names: Gigantic tackle Matt Sewell is a perennial All-Canadian and represented the CIS in the East West Shrine game in Florida in January. Cory Watman has played a lot of football against Division 1 competition, as a three-year starter at Eastern Michigan, while Brett Jones, perhaps the smartest player in the draft, has drawn frequent comparisons to fellow Regina product Brendon LaBatte.
Burning Combine Question: Matt Sewell has great feet for a 330 lbs. man but does he move well enough to handle the speed of CFL defensive ends?
Possible Sleepers: Matt Vonk (Waterloo) is one the most athletic offensive lineman in the CIS and Matthew Albright (St. Mary's) had an impressive East West Bowl last spring.
Who's Missing?: Although he has battled injuries throughout his college career, Nolan MacMillan (Iowa) is the most talented of the redshirts but Brander Craighead (Texas-El Paso) and 6'7" OT Hunter Steward (Liberty) are also highly regarded. Alexis Rousseau-Saine has been a CIS stud for four years but it has long been known that he will pursue a career helping people (medicine) rather than hurting them (football).
Random Thoughts: With the knowledge that virtually every CFL Draft will see more players drafted at O-Line than any other position, the league should consider bringing more of them to the main Combine. I can't speak to the Edmonton and Quebec City regionals but Kevin Croft (Sherbrooke) and Shane Bergman (Western) were impressive enough at the National Invitational Combine to warrant a further look against the top prospects.
Big Names: Converted DB Mike Edem (Calgary) rocketed up the Canadian Scouting Bureau rankings after a monster season in which he was named Canada West's top defensive player.
Burning Combine Question: As a hybrid LB, does Mike Edem have a true position in the CFL or will he be labeled a "tweener"?
Possible Sleepers: In recent years, Sherbrooke has developed a tradition of producing very good linebackers. Last season, after a couple of years of being overshadowed by Felipe Fonseca and Kevin Régimbald, Nicolas Boulay emerged as the leader of the Vert et Or LB corps and has the potential to step up this weekend as well.
Who's Missing?: Redshirt Bo Lokombo (Oregon) is the best football player in this draft class and will garner NFL attention in 2014.
Random Thoughts: Most Canadian linebackers are primarily special teamers in the CFL. I'll be curious to see if the league finds any time to do some special teams drills during Sunday's on field sessions so that these prospects can be appropriately evaluated.
Big Names: Steven Lumbala has been talked about as a potential CFLer for the last four years and Rotrand Sené (Montreal) is a perennial Hec Crighton contender.
Burning Combine Question: After being slowed by nagging injuries in 2012, does Steven Lumbala still possess the explosiveness that he displayed in his first three CIS seasons?
Possible Sleepers: The Bishop's Gaiters running back spot has been a revolving door since Jamall Lee left for the CFL four years ago but, last season, 245 lbs. Matt Burke carried the load. With the CFL's current demand for true fullbacks far exceeding its supply, Burke will receive a long look this weekend.
Who's Missing?: Zack Skibin (Acadia) tested well at the East West Bowl but a serious knee injury wiped out his 2012 season and his Combine hopes.
Random Thoughts: When I updated my files on this draft class three years ago, the RB position was deep in high end prospects. However, a year later, that had changed dramatically. Jeff Hassler (Saskatchewan) and Jordan Wilson-Ross (Ottawa) were in the class of Lumbala and Sené as burgeoning CIS stars but both gave up football for rugby and are now national team players in that sport. Meanwhile, after seeing regular playing time as NCAA FCS (Division 1-AA) true freshmen, neither Daniel Heslop (Savannah State) nor Remi Biakabutuka completed his college career. North of the border, Matt Socholotiuk (Waterloo) also had an impressive freshman season but is just now returning to football after serving a three-year suspension for the use of a banned substance. Like Hassler and Wilson-Ross, he also found another sport during his time on the sidelines, excelling in the world of mixed martial arts.
Big Names: Cameron Wade (Acadia) and Michael Daly (McMaster) are the only 2012 CIS All-Canadians among this group but Patrick Chenard (Sherbrooke) has been an impact player for the Vert et Or over the course of his career.
Burning Combine Question: Who will emerge this weekend as the top prospect in this wide open group of defensive backs?
Possible Sleepers: Kris Robertson is the smallest DB at the Combine but also likely the most athletic. Originally overlooked for an invitation, he earned his way in with his performance at the Quebec City regional combine earlier this week.
Who's Missing?: Joey Cupido (McMaster) has had a very successful CIS football career playing in a highly visible program but he also already has a pro sports career with the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. Redshirt Tolu Akinwumi (Rice) is a tremendous athlete with good size but sat out the 2012 season with an arm injury and is likely to sit out this fall as well.
Random Thoughts: Simply put, the number of draft prospects at defensive back is always disproportionate to the small number of CFL jobs available for Canadian DBs and this discrepancy has become even more pronounced over the last 15 years, as the number of designated import spots has risen from one to three and several teams have opted to start five import DBs. If any of these young men want to find pro employment, they need to shine this weekend.
Big Names: Mike DiCroce (McMaster) was a Hec Crighton finalist in 2011. Among draft eligible receivers, no one averaged more catches or yards per game in 2012 than Chris Dobko (Calgary). Three of the ten receivers at the Combine are from the reigning Vanier Cup Champion Laval Rouge et Or (Yannick Morin Plante, Seydou Junior Haïdara, and Guillaume Rioux).
Burning Combine Question: Can Mike DiCroce show that he has fully recovered from the injuries that severely limited his 2012 season or will the door remain wide open for someone else, perhaps Simon LeMarquand, to establish himself as the top receiver at the Combine?
Possible Sleepers: The Waterloo football program is still in rebuilding mode but one of the bright spots last fall was All-Canadian receiver Nick Anapolsky, who was second in the CIS in both catches and receiving yards.
Who's Missing?: 6'5" burner Stephen Alli (Florida) and Natey Adjei (Buffalo) likely would have been at or near the top of the receiver testing board had they been in attendance. Adjei will return for his final season with the Bulls. The enigmatic Alli also has a year of remaining NCAA eligibility but has already graduated from Florida and is slated to continue his graduate studies at UF...but not play football there next year. His situation is further clouded by his slow recovery from a lower leg stress fracture.
Random Thoughts: 6'4" Steven Adekolu (Bishop's) was added to the mix after an outstanding performance at Friday's National Invitational Combine. His dominance at the event was reminiscent of that of current Toronto Argonaut Spencer Watt at the inaugural NIC in 2010. Like Watt, who became a third round pick that year, Adekolu hopes to leapfrog several receivers who had been invited to the Combine ahead of him.
Big Names: Regina born Cayman Shutter played his minor football in Saskatchewan before his family moved to Hawaii when he was 11. At Honolulu's Punahou High School (Barack Obama's alma mater), he developed into an All-State performer and State Champion before signing with the University of Hawaii. He was on track to become the Rainbows starter in 2012 before a DUI charge earned him a team imposed suspension and kept him out of spring camp. He graduates this spring and chose to forfeit his last year of NCAA eligibility to give the CFL a shot.
Burning Combine Question: Can Cayman Shutter live up to his pre-Hawaii potential?
Possible Sleepers: Myles Gibbon may be overshadowed by Shutter because the latter played at Hawaii while Gibbon split his career between South Alabama and York...but Gibbon was a former starter at USA and h's impact on the York program in just one season speaks volumes.
Who's Missing?: It's tough to argue that any other draft eligible QB has as much pro potential as Shutter and Gibbons.
Random Thoughts: For the first time ever, the CFL Combine features two quarterbacks with actual NCAA Division 1 playing experience. Although Shutter and Gibbons PT down south was limited, this is symbolic of how the current generation of young Canadian QBs, including a wave of CIS studs, is closing the gap on its American counterparts.
Big Names: Lirim Hajrullahu is very familiar to CFL scouts, having attended the last two CIS East West Bowls.
Burning Combine Question: After only being asked to handle placekicking duties for his first three CIS seasons, has Lirim Hajrullaju's punting improved enough in the last year to earn him a CFL job?
Possible Sleepers: Brett Lauther (St. Mary's) had the unenviable task of following AUS legend and current Winnipeg Blue Bomber Justin Palardy as the Huskies kicker. He improved his field goal accuracy from 63% in 2011 to 80% last fall. He has also raised his punting average by about three yards per year over his three seasons as a starter.
Who's Missing?: Billy Pavlopoulos (British Columbia) missed the 2012 season while serving a suspension for using a supplement that contained a banned substance. However, he is the best punter in this draft class and perhaps the best all around kicking prospect as well.
Random Thoughts: This is a good time to be a Canadian kicking prospect in the CFL. Over the last few seasons, former Toronto Argonaut and Hamilton Tiger-Cat Justin Medlock, with his 60-yard range and 90% accuracy, is the only American kicker who has justified his team's use of a designated import spot to fill that role. Teams would be wise to continue the trend of keeping and developing young, non-import kickers so they're never forced to by injury to juggle the ratio and use an import.
