Cambridge-Narrows Regional Library
welcomes you to our website
The Cambridge-Narrows Regional Library is an independent library that is run by a group of wonderful local volunteers. Through federal and provincial government grants, we have been able to hire summer students for the months of July and August each year. We are very pleased to welcome three students: Jessica Dugas will be back again this summer; and Holly Urquhart and Austin Orchard-Belyea will be working here for the first time. The building is owned and operated by the Village of Cambridge-Narrows. We purchase supplies and new books with the money made at our book sales and from donations. The annual Christmas Concert is our main fund-raiser. We have book sales at the Library every Saturday morning in July and August (weather permitting). Also, we have a book sale and a community breakfast at the Municipal Building on Community Day in July. Please check updates under 'Events'.
The building first began to contribute to the social history of the village when it was built in the 1860's. Today it is still the heart-beat of our community. It is also used as a Visitor Information Centre for this area. Please browse through our website and learn about our programs, volunteers, book club and special events. You can also learn about the history of the library and the building itself. For more information, please go to: https://www.facebook.com/cnrlibrary

Mission Statement
The mission of The Cambridge Narrows Regional Library is to collect and organize books donated for a library service to the area. Materials and services will be provided free to area residents of all ages for personal enrichment, enjoyment, and educational needs (...for reading, learning and cultural enrichment).
The library has a special mission, to young children and their parents to encourage an ongoing interest in the love/joy of reading and power of learning (...to support a lifelong enjoyment of reading and learning). The senior population in the community will be encouraged to participate in and volunteer for various activities related to reading and enrichment. The Library aims most of all to serve and be responsive to the needs of the community by partnering with other community organizations and becoming a learning and activity center for the area.
The mission statement will be reviewed periodically by the Library Committee.
We welcome anyone who is willing to volunteer 3 to 4 hours a month.
Visit our Volunteers Page to learn more about becoming a part of your Regional Library and to obtain an application form.
Along with NB Power, we are pleased to offer appliance energy meters that measure how much energy your appliances use over a period of time, thus helping you identify ways to reduce energy charges.
These meters may be signed out free of charge by Library members the same as you would borrow a book.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Well, folk of the blog, I have some comics sitting around that I happened to receive in the mail, yet I already owned them. Now I have two copies. So why don't I give them away?
As you may know from contests I have run in the past, I love presenting panels and having you guess from which comics they come. Some people have bashed me for it, but there's a reason I do it: It takes the subjective out of it. If I ask you to do something where I have to judge your entries, there's too much subjectivity in it. If I ask you to identify panels, you really can't argue with the answers – you either get it right or not! And, to be fair, for this contest, it's usually a page that you have to identify, and definitely more than one panel, so there's that. Let's take a look at what you can win:
Aces: Curse of the Red Baron by Shannon Eric Denton, G. Willow Wilson, and Curtis Square-Briggs. This is an action-adventure story set during World War I that goes weirdly off the rails at the end, but you might like it!
Awesome: The Indie Spinner Rack Anthology. Lots of weird short stories by dozens of independent creators. It's published by Evil Twin Comics, so you know it's quality!
The Black Diamond by Larry Young and Jon Proctor. Larry's homage to 1970s car-centered action movies is gleefully goofy, and while Proctor's art is occasionally stiff, it gets better as it goes along and the coloring makes it pop off the page.
Dugout by Adam Beechen and Manny Bello. This is the tale of a manager of a bad baseball team and the lengths he'll go to in order to get his star pitcher out of prison. A nice, twisty story.
Captain Stoneheart and the Truth Fairy by Joe Kelly and Chris Bachalo. This is a big-ass hardcover version of Elephantmen #7. Richard Starkings gave it to me at San Diego, and while I want to keep it because it's a nice huge thing, I do already have it, so I ought to share it!
Elephantmen: War Toys by Richard Starkings and Moritat. This is the trade that tells of the war that shadows the elephantmen in the present. It's stunning – one of the best "mini-series" of the year (I put that in quotes because the regular book went on hiatus while this was being published, and it could easily fit into the regular title).
Holmes: Haydn's Head by Omaha Perez. Perez, who seems normal enough, retells a Sherlock Holmes story as a wild acid trip through some ridiculous situations. It's Holmes as a Mad magazine feature, and works quite well.
The Middleman: The Collected Series Indispensability by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine. This collects every Middleman series and the original graphic novel. Grillo-Marxuach was nice enough to give me a copy, so I have an extra one. Yes, I ordered it even though I own every issue of The Middleman already. I don't care! It's a wonderful comic book. Join the Middlecult!
Strange Embrace by David Hine. This is another monster hardcover that Starkings gave to me, and another one I'm tempted to keep. I'm sure it looks fantastic (it's wrapped in plastic, so I haven't looked at it). But I do have the issues, so I'll pass it on to a lucky winner. It's a creepy horror comic that is a tad predictable, but scary nevertheless.
Yes, that's NINE comics you can win! Okay, not one person, because we'll have three winners. The winner will get their choice of five (5) comics, the second-place finisher will choose three (3), and the third-place finisher will get the one that's left. That's fair, isn't it? ISN'T IT??????
So here are the rules, if you've never done this before. I show you panels from comic books. You tell me the title of the book, the issue number, the writer, and the penciller (I won't ask for the inker, because that's a bit too difficult). Each answer will get a point value. Thus:
The title of the book is worth one (1) point.
The issue number of the book is worth two (2) points.
The writer of the book is worth one (1) point. I should point out that some of these have two writers, usually a plotter and a scripter. You can give me only one, but if you give me both, I'll give you a bonus point! How nice am I?
The penciller of the book is worth one (1) point.
The issue number is worth more because it's harder to get the issue number. At least I think it is. It seems like it would be, because you can guess the others more easily. I could be wrong, but I'm sticking to the point system! So each panel is worth five (5) points. You can get a possible three hundred (300) points.
What's that? You can do math? Does that mean that there are sixty (60) panels to identify? Mais oui! Isn't that too hard? In the past, people have accused me of being a bit too obscure with these. So I put more panels in this contest, but tried to address that criticism. Therefore, every panel below is from a Marvel or DC book. Nothing too weird. In fact, every page below is from a Marvel or DC book that, when it was published, had nothing but a DC or Marvel logo on it (I will say that I have no idea if the pages are still "in continuity," but I can't help that, can I?). That means no Vertigo, no MAX, no Elseworlds, no Icon, no Epic, no New Universe, no Milestone – only Marvel and DC, as mainstream as you can get! How easy is that????
Of course, I do try to trick you. I'm not going to make this too easy, after all. So I tried to find some obscure Marvel and DC books for you to identify. I'm not Greg Hatcher, though, so I often don't have too many obscure comics, but I hope I did all right. But trust me – every comic below has only a DC or Marvel logo on the cover, and nothing else.
People who want to enter should send me an e-mail with their answers. Remember: Give me the name of the comic that appears on the cover of the book. Just because a famous character shows up in a panel, don't just assume that name is on the front cover (in fact, it's probably not going to be the case, although it might be!). And to those people who complained about this the last time I did it … well, is there any reason to do that? If you don't want to enter, don't enter. It's all in fun!
I guess I'll give you until the end of November to enter. That means you have until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, a little over a week. That's enough time, right? I'll remind you about it over the next week so you don't forget. Last time I did this I got 12 entries. Let's see if I can top that!
Okay, let's check out the panels. Have oodles of fun with them! Click on them to make them bigger, because they're kind of tough to read. Plus, it will help you gaze in wonder at the awesomeness!
Have fun, everyone! Remember – you don't have to answer them all, just beat everyone else! That's easy, right?
[Edit: Sorry I had to delete some comments, because they contained answers. I didn't even look at them, so I don't know if they were right or not. DON'T ANSWER IN THE COMMENTS, PLEASE!!!!!!! That would defeat the purpose a bit, don't you think?
I thought the link to my e-mail address worked. My e-mail is: email@example.com. I hope that works! Let me know if anyone is having problems with it.]
I'm surprised by how many of these I actually recognize.
I was expecting to be stumped on, like, all of 'em.
Good deal.
My emails not sending to your address. Is there another way to enter the contest?
John: I wrote the address out without a link, so give that a try. If that doesn't work, I'll figure something out.
I definitely recognized some. I now need to fasttrack the papers I need to get done this week so I can research these. That David Hine HC will be mine!
Question: is this open to people outside the U.S.?
Sure, Matt! I'll send free comics anywhere that has a post office! Even the Maldives! Or Senegal! Or Andorra! Free comics should be a world-wide phenomenon!
8, 16 and 56 i know without breaking a sweat.
the rest? no clue.
man, i feel dumb.
I just want to know what 37 is so I can buy it.
>>8, 16 and 56 i know without breaking a sweat.
8, 11 & 26 for me. I'm hoping I'll be able to add to that when I get access (i.e. go to work Monday) to a good-sized monitor & non-dialup internet … as it is, enlarging each page would probably take me the rest of the day.
Thanks. The link works but my mail doesn't like the address.
Also I'm in the UK. If I won a prize would that be ok?
R: Come back on 1 December and you'll find out!
John: I will mail stuff overseas, because we're all part of the worldwide community! It sounds like you're still having problems e-mailing me. Is that so? I'll have to figure something out!
I recognized 8, 22, 23 and 46. But I think I'll let someone else claim the prize.
I knew 19 off the top of my head well enough that I could pull the TPBs off the shelf and find the necessary details; particularly the ones from the humor mags which says more about me than I care to admit (that Doom page is from one of my favorite comics ever).
I'll hang my head in shame.
All I could think about #13 was "Why does Batman sport shoulder pads?"
Am I the only one that thinks it's odd to reward this kind level of DC/Marvel knowledge with a bunch of indie books?
It seems like the people who would do best at this contest would be least interested in a bunch of indie books, and that people who would be most interested in those books probably don't have this level of DC/Marvel knowledge.
Not that I'm complaining – I just wanted to point out that Burgas is being subversive – tricking the hardliners into wanting to read some non-Big 2 books. I approve!
Tyson: Yeah, I've heard that before with other contests. My problem is, of course, that DC and Marvel don't deem me worthy of receiving their work, so I don't get it. I get a bunch of indie books. On the other hand, I admit it's kind of hard to identify indie comics, so I stuck to the Big Two. My hope is that people will be interested in checking out stuff they might have missed!
and maybe it's a secret plot to wean hardcore readers off of the big two and into a more diverse addiction…
Greg, with what the big two are putting out anymore, I think you'd have a hard time drumming up enough interest for people to put the effort into the contest. Indie books as prizes are just fine.
I am astounded, I say, I say, astounded at the number of books I own that have those panels. With T-day off, I may enter this contest…
Hmm…I actually know most of these. But I won the last one.
I may enter for fun…but I think it would be unfair if more people didn't share the wealth. We'll see. Great job though Greg! The last one got me hooked on Robotika, which was an awesome mini and I love the sequel's concept.
I sent my entry earlier today. I really hope mail didn't bounce or anything and i miss the contest, or else i am going to be pissed.
I'm not expecting the top prize, but I hope I got some of the panels right at least.

We accept dried-out latex and water-based paint in your regular trash, and as trash at our Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station.
See instructions for oil-based paint
All residual/leftover latex and water-based paint must be hardened or dried. Any wet or soft paint that could spill will be left as unacceptable by collection crews.
The paint can you put into your trash will actually get recycled: household trash is processed in the County's Resource Recovery Facility. There, it is incinerated, and the dried paint burns off of the metal can. Steel (including paint cans!) and other ferrous metals are recovered from the remaining ash, and are sent to metal processors for recycling.
Fluid paint can spill before, during, and after collection. To avoid messes, we require that all paint be dried before we can accept it as trash.
Between April 1 and October 31, if your paint is still in usable condition and has not been frozen, bring it to our Household Hazardous Waste facility at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station for reuse. We place usable paint into our Paint Giveaway, where Montgomery County residents may pick it up for free.
At any time of the year, consider offering usable paint on:

Comparisons between anorexia nervosa and sexual anorexia are made and definitions and illustrations are presented of the 4 most significant characteristics of this self-perpetuating disorder both from intrapsychic and interpersonal levels: (1) control—overt personal control and covert relationship power; (2) fear—fear of losing control and fear of personal sexuality; (3) anger—passive and active expressions of anger based on devaluation; and (4) justifications—an elaborate system of denial, delusion, and misperception.

We predicted that marital satisfaction would be positively correlated with sexual desire and that this association would be moderated by marital power, such that marital satisfaction would be more strongly correlated with sexual desire among individuals who perceive themselves as having less power in their relationship. Results indicated that marital satisfaction was significantly associated with sexual desire, but there was no evidence for the moderating effects of various forms of marital power.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The term "sexual anorexia" has been used to describe sexual aversion disorder (DSM code 302.79), a state in which the patient has a profound disgust and horror at anything sexual in themselves and others. This article reports on a project to document and expand criteria for sexual anorexia and to discern co-morbidity with sexual addiction. At this point 144 patients have participated in an extensive assessment of sexual disorders upon admission to a treatment facility. Early data suggest important implications for further research and diagnostic criteria.

I had a pretty calm weekend. My laptop died on me, but such are things in this world. They come and they go. The good news is since Windows 8 just came out I expect people will be selling their old laptops on Craig's List. I don't need a great laptop since I have a desktop and a tablet computer — just one to get me by for a while. If you know of anyone selling a cheap laptop with Windows 7 I am all ears... and even more so if someone say wanted to just gift it to me.
Have you ever worked at a place that had a strict policy against any kind of portable external storage like USB hard drives or thumb drives? Maybe they even had group policies in place that disabled external storage on the USB ports? There's a good reason for that. Tim Greene of Businessweek reports that a successful 2008 attack on U.S.

I'm looking for a laptop to buy. One of the possibilities is advertised as supporting "Wireless-N". Some others are advertised as supporting "Wireless-B+G+N". Is there any guarantee that the one advertised as supporting "Wireless-N" will support B and G as well? (Will it be able to communicate with another laptop or an access point that only supports B or G?)
Yes, all mainstream adapters are backwards compatible. So, an 802.11n device will work on an 802.11b/g wireless network.

Henri is a French pianist and Grammy winner and has worked with visionaries and artists such as Malcolm McLaren (partner), Yves Saint Laurent (YSL 40 year final retrospective), Thierry Dreyfus, Madonna, The Police, Pierre Cardin, De La Soul, KRS One, Rakim, Lenny Kravitz, Barry White, Charles Aznavour, Alicia Keys and Sizzla.
During the wake of the Acid Jazz revolution, which began in London in the late 80's, Henri collaborated with noteworthy greats including the late Andy Hughes (The Orb) and Galliano. At this time, he was noticed by producer Daniel Lazerus (Diana Ross, Donald Fagen, Joe Cocker) who invited him to co-produce on several projects. Soon, his talents were directed to the runways of Giorgio Armani, Jean-Charles De Castelbajac, to name a few. It was at a Castelbajac show where Henri was first introduced to (and subsequently worked with) Malcolm McLaren, a music, fashion and cultural iconoclast.
In 1996, Henri brought Paris to New York and the legacy of music trends from Europe and its culture. Inevitably, he drew massive attention from the local Hip-Hop, Dance and World music communities. Then partnered with Malcolm McLaren, Henri produced the Buffalo Gals: Back to Skool (Virgin Records) album with artists like KRS-1, Rakim and De La Soul. He then executive produced other projects with McLaren including Jungk and several commercials.
Henri later co-composed and did additional production with DJ/Producer Roger Sanchez on his first solo album (First Contact) featuring Sharleen Spiteri (Texas), Armand Van Helden and N'Dea Davenport. "Another Chance", the first single, led all European charts for 17 weeks.
Further collaborations include remixes for artists such as No Doubt "Hella Good", which won them a Grammy Award for best remix of the year 2002; Madonna "Get Together" (Confessions On a Dance Floor); Alicia Keys "Butterfly"; The Police "Walking On The Moon"; Lenny Kravitz "Black Velveteen"; Chic "I Want Your Love"; Prince "1999"; Ricky Martin "Jaleo"; Brand New Heavies "Apparently Nothin" featuring Carleen Anderson; Cirque Du Soleil "Kumbalawe"; Alejandro Sanz & Shakira "Te Lo Agradezco Pero No"; and Simply Red "Perfect Love".
Most of these records have appeared in Billboard's Top Ten dance charts.Another notable project was The Mango Room, an urban poetic soul collaborative featuring New York's premier Spoken Word artists, composed, produced and arranged by Henri. This album was a labor of love celebrating the language of love through music.
For VP Records (the largest Reggae label worldwide) Henri mixed several DVDs, the first of which being the label's 25th Anniversary concert with artists like Sean Paul, Shaggy, Elephant Man and Sizzla. While in Jamaica, Henri worked on the Sizzla and Elephant Man DVDs.
As well as producing new artists, Henri was probably the first (1996) and only producer to remix French music legends such as Charles Aznavour and Serge Gainsbourg from the original multi-tracks, before this became a trend. His latest production for an artist can be heard on the album of singer songwriter Sinem Saniye, the twice winner of the John Lennon songwriter's competition, also winning a Billboard award for songwriting.
Apart from working with Pierre Bergé, Henri had the privilege of collaborating with Catherine Deneuve and Laetitia Casta as they sang their homage to the master. The widely acclaimed show, orchestrated by artistic director Thierry Dreyfus, ran for 90 minutes and incorporated in excess of 380 unparalleled signature dresses/suits.Other work for fashion includes clients such as Moncler, Jean Charles De Castelbajac, Levi's, John Galliano, Diesel Black Gold, Rag & Bone, Pierre Balmain, Alber Elbaz, Nike, Krizia Top (Milan), Rochas, Furla, Max Mara, Hache, Ter Et Bantine, Richard Tyler, Franck Sorbier, Brood by Serkan Sarier, J. Mendel, BCBG Max Azria, Michael Bastian, Tracy Reese, Hardy Amies, Parsons MFA, PVH, Joseph Abboud, Smythson as well as all shows for the 2009 CFDA Vogue fashion fund award winner, Sophie Theallet, a modern day couturière.
Henri has been regularly commissioned to write music for art installations, notably for the Paris Nuit Blanche, organized by the city of Paris and the Ministry of Culture.
Recently, he has been commissioned by the French and Chinese governments to write a music piece for the 50th year anniversary of the friendship between France and China, a piece for piano and Guzheng (Chinese Harp). Henri performed live along with musician jun Ling Wang at the Grand Palais in Paris in front of both governments and 5,000 people. Other performers on this event were pianist Mu Ye Wu, Bartabas, National Ballet Of China and Opéra De Paris to name a few.
In 2006 he performed on the piano live at the Bibliothèque Nationale De France (French National Library) along with band Placebo.
In 2007, he worked on an installation created by Thierry Dreyfus at the Chateau De Versailles and in October 2010, collaborated with Dreyfus again at Notre Dame De Paris. This last installation broke attendance records at Nuit Blanche with more than 50,000 people visiting within the limited hours, transforming the Cathedral with lights never before seen accompanied by music inspired from a dark place.
Additionally, henri worked on the 30th year anniversary celebration of Didier Ludot in the gardens of the Palais Royal in Paris. Monsieur Ludot is the premier collector and seller of designer vintage clothing. The installation incorporated various styles of music and poetry readings played at ten different locations of this expansive garden. This exhibit was attended by a select group of guests including the French Minister of Culture.Henri composed music for photographer Justin Guariglia on his traveling exhibition "Shaolin: Temple Of Zen" at the National Geographic museum in Washington DC (2008).
His work in public spaces is known to bring a sense of community and connection with people from all over the world and from all walks of life, bound together by the simple pleasure of sharing music, a rare occurrence in today's iPod headphone culture.
Music is a critical element of the customer experience and a powerful mechanism for companies to achieve differentiation. Through his consultancy, The Other Side Of The Brain (OSB) that was founded in 2005 and specifically formed to work with corporate clients, Henri Scars Struck has created programs for companies such as Estée Lauder, Lufthansa, Hermès, Pfizer, Nike, Ford Motors, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Unilever Prestige and the French government as well as the city of Paris.
Authentic emotion is key for establishing a deep connection between a company and its employees and/or customers. Henri believes that companies have only scratched the surface of what is possible in terms of the use of music to inspire engagement and loyalty.
Henri speaks frequently on the subject of the emotional side of business, and the role of music in particular. He is a regular speaker on MBA and corporate programs, and was the keynote speaker in the series "A New Perspective" hosted by the Le Méridien hotels in multiple cities around the world.
As early as 1994, Henri created an immersive multi-sensory experience for Swatch in conjunction with the designer Jean Charles De Castelbajac. The installation was hosted at the Louvre and the 1994 winter Olympic games. It featured music and sounds under the Louvre pyramid - in the morning music/sounds of Parisian cafés were heard and scents of coffee were sprayed. In the afternoon, sounds of Provence and lavender scents were triggering the senses of many visitors.
In 2007, Henri composed a ground-breaking 24-hour soundtrack exclusively for Le Méridien Hotels (Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide) in support of the launch of their new program "Unlocked Art." The auditory experience was implemented in 110 properties throughout the world and involved music for two moments critical to the guest experience – as they enter the hotel; and as they ride the elevator to their room. The soundtrack was divided into four sections of 6 hours: morning (waters), afternoon (forest), evening (markets & cafes) and night (crickets & campfire). This soundtrack incorporates rich natural sounds and original music compositions influenced by different cultures from around the globe.
This program earned many awards such as "Best Innovative Concept in Full Service Hotels" at the 2009 Worldwide Hospitality Awards.
The Other Side Of The Brain's services include the creation and execution of assignments, negotiation of all aspects of conception, production, recording and/or licensing, and the management of the process to completion. OSB also advises TV/film producers and directors, providing them with original music or serving as the music curator for a project.
OSB has a department, The Other Side Of Music, that provides the businesses of hospitality and retail locations with unique music playlists (original or selected).
Henri Scars Struck's work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, New York Magazine, Art News, Fast Company, The New York Sun, Libération, Le Monde, and Trace Magazine as part of the feature, "New Yorkers on the Verge". He is currently featured on the series "New Revolutionaries" on the Sundance TV Channel.Click here to visit The Other Side Of The Brain's website

6 years ago today my dear friend Andy Hughes passed away. He was a kind and amazing man that taught me many things on the electronic side of music in the early 90's. He brought so much to us all with his crazy ideas and all the synthesizers he build himself and modified. He was an instrumental member of The Orb, a band that revolutionized ambient music.

This is such a pretty shade for brunettes--a creamy, brownish berry. I love to put gloss on top of this (as I do with all of my lipsticks) so I'm not one to judge how moisturizing a lippie is. But the full coverage color is really gorgeous.

Very easy and yummy! Love that it is low-fat without sacrificing any taste!
Outstanding low fat recipe! Loved the flavors and was SO easy to make. I made this dish a LOT lower in calories by substituting shirataki noodles for the pasta shells. Saved about 200 calories per serving! I cut my noodles in bite size pieces mixed in with the spinach/cottage cheese mixture and baked per your recipe. Really, really, really loved this dish. I will probably have this 2 or 3 times a week just because it's so tasty, low calorie and has ample veggies. What a winner when you're trying to loose weight. I may have used a little extra garlic too. Can't thank you enough for this great recipe.
Very tasty. I used whole wheat pasta shells and some homemade pasta sauce. The filling was very good and I plan on stuffing some crepes with the zucchini spinach filling soon!

First of all, the scent is horrible. I swear it smells like insecticide to me. Nasty.
I must say though, this has been the most hydrating organix shampoo I have tried, the problem is that my hair gets oily very quickly with this shampoo!

I have used the matching conditioner for this for a long time but never really wanted to use the shampoo, I just thought it would be really thick and heavy and make my hair really oily, but I was so wrong! I wish I had tried it sooner. I am a bit on the fence with Organix shampoos, on the one hand they are one of the few brands that don't make my scalp itch or give me dandruff, in fact the Sea Mineral shampoo actually worked for me as a anti-dandruff shampoo so that's pretty good if you have dandruff but don't want to use the chemicals in the usual anti-dandruff shampoos, but there is sometimes something not quite right about them, too drying or doesn't feel like it cleans properly, builds up too much etc, but this shampoo turned out to be quite light and thin and spread through my hair easily and lathered well and it's left my hair shiny and moisturised without being oily and I still have volume in my hair so it's perfect actually, my hair is also a bit damaged at the ends from straightening it, and this had made a really big difference. Whether it will build up over time I don't know, but still you just have to alternate with a different one to fix that, so yeah, if you have every considered buying it and you like the conditioner it's worth giving it a go!

This is not my favorite shampoo but I do like the smell of it. It smells something along the lines of brown sugar. it's nothing to write home about. It is a creamy Shampoo so not much lather but it gets the job done. I wish the smell would linger in my hair. Will not repurchase

It takes alot of the product to really lather in your hair and I use this with the matching conditioner and my hair did not feel hydrated or soft at all, its more like the opposite.

I decided to try this shampoo and conditioner because I read on a forum for people with curly hair, that this shampoo is good for controlling frizz and making curls look defined. I was skeptical at first, when I noticed that liquid silicone is one of the first ingredients, before macadamia oil, but it works really well. My hair is really shiny and my curls are well defined.
I put a dab of it back in my hair after I rinse it, so that it controls frizz better, and it works really well. It also helps make it more manageable. (if I rinse it out completely, I get knots in my hair).
It might seem expensive, but it's worth it. The bottles only look small because of the shape. One thing they could improve is the shape of the cap. It would be nice if I could stand it upside-down when it's almost empty, so I can get the last little bit out of the bottle easier.

To be fair, Im only giving a lukewarm review & not repurchasing bc my hair is color-treated w semiperm Sebastian Cellophane. This means I should only use the gentlest of non-sulfate shampoos. This not being one of them.
If you've seen my recent reviews, you know Ive been careful by using dry shampoos. So I was horrified to see 3 weeks in using this shampoo, that my color was 75% stripped w gray shoots sticking out to embarrass me..
However if you do not have color, this is a nicely tropical scented shampoo that cleanses your hair well. Unfortch, I must move on to something gentler..

I have been wanting to try this for a while. It smells very good and does a good job of getting my hair and scalp clean without making my hair feel stripped despite the fact that it has a harsh sulfate in it, which is surprising since it claims to be sulfate free. It leaves my hair shiny with good definition. Suitable for those with fine to medium hair. It doesn't leave any residue and a bottle was about eight dollars. Wait for it to come on sale.

I think this beats out my HG shampoo Organix Brazilian Straight. It's super creamy and without conditioner my hair already feels very soft and moisturized. I haven't had that feeling with many shampoos.
It smells awesome and with the conditioner my hair is very soft and sleek. I have very thick, wavy, coarse, and long hair. I find many products do not do much for it. Usually they feel like they've stripped my hair or have done nothing. This is unique.

I have long, fine, easy to frizz, straight Asian hair, while my scalp is on the oily side. I shampoo my hair daily, so I use a lot of shampoo, and I need something that will clean my scalp, but the same time it won't weight down my hair, and control the frizz.
I've been using Organix hair products since about a year ago, and I've tried many of them, I'm completely hooked, this is the only brand of hair products I'm using now besides few other products from Loreal. (Originally I choose Organix for the reason of sulfate-free, and Loreal eversleek for silicone-free).
All Organix shampoo I've tried are good, some of them, like the argan cream one is on the heavier side. My most favorite so far are the Macadamia oil shampoo, for its smell; and the Sea mineral shampoo, for its result, but it smells not so good in my opinion.
Macadamia oil shampoo smells just like ... fresh sugarcane and/or real watermelon juice ! I'm a Taiwanese, and both sugarcane and watermelon are very common fruits there. It's a scent hard to describe, not perfumy, not floral, not fruity, not nutty (although it's macadamia oil ...), not really grassy but a bit green, not sugary ... ok, I'm not being any helpful here.
This is the only shampoo I've used in my whole life that will bring a smile on me when I use it in shower everyday, for its smell. Result wise, it's as good as all other Organix shampoo I've tried, and they are all very good.

I have thick coarse dry hair and growing out my natural hair color so it was starting to get healthy. However, it did need its moisture and shine so I decided to try this organix macadamia oil shampoo mess...
Well, it did make my hair very soft and shiny-BUT also made it very FRIZZY with static!! I have never had static in my hair!! This also made my scalp very oily a day after shampoo.
Since I have dry hair and scalp it takes FOREVER for it to get oily-with this shampoo (no conditioner) my scalp was just gross oily the morning after... it was terrible... :/
Now I switched back to my usual shampoo (which has no moisture for my coarse hair) but my hair is still very very frizzy and with static!!
PLEASE AVOID THIS! I live in humid East Texas and this did NOT help but made it worse! I have never experienced this with a shampoo....
If I could give it -1 lippie I would!

by Franklin Lamb - reporting from Ain el Helwe Palestinian Refugee Camp in Sidon, Lebanon
"Whatever will happen in the future, we shall not repeat the mistakes we made in leaving Gaza,"
- Shimon Peres to members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations 2/18/09
Israeli President Shimon Peres has participated in shaping the policies of Israel for most of its existence. His Washington Post Op-Ed last week billed as 'a peacepartners prod' to the Obama administration, evidences a major disconnect within the government of Israel concerning what is urgently required for that country's increasingly unlikely long-term survival."You take my water. Burn my Olive Trees. Destroy my house. Take my job. Steal my Land. Imprison my Mother. Bomb my country. Starve us all. Humiliate us all. But I am to blame: I shot a rocket back".- Sign carried near Hyde Park Corner during a demonstration in London on 2/15/09 by a Member of the British Parliament
According to a CIA study currently being shown to selected staff members on the US Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Israel's survival in its present form beyond the next 20 years is doubtful.
The Report predicts "an inexorable movement away from a Two State to a One State solution, as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial Apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947/1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region."
To President Peres' chagrin, the Executive Summary states that "during the next fifteen years more than two million Israelis, including some 500,000 Israeli citizens who currently hold US green cards or passports will move to the United States. Most Israelis not in possession of these documents will receive 'expedited waivers'. The Report claims that " Alongside a decline in Jewish births and a rise in Palestinian fertility, approximately 1.6 million Israelis are likely to return to their forefather's lands in Russia and Eastern and Western Europe with scores of thousands electing to stay, depending on the nature of the transition."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
In his Washington Post Op-ed piece President Peres desperately attempts to salvage a two state solution from a one, a three or even a four 'state' arrangement. He appears to realize that a two state solution is seriously jeopardized unless Israel dramatically and quickly changes course. With the tacking to the right in Israel and the likely make up of the next government once Peres selects Livni or Netanyahu in the next few days, and given the swelling mood among the occupied in favor of another Intifada, Peres plaintively asserts to the Obama administration that "a two states is the only realistic solution".
Peres instructed the American people and their government three times in his Op-Ed brief for a two state solution, that Israel is "the land of my forefathers'. He laments that the CIA predicted One State Solution would "Undermine Israel's legitimacy and the internationally recognized right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state in the land of my forefathers."
Peres knows that his forefathers had no connection whatsoever to Palestine as is the case with more than 95% of the Zionists who swept into the area over the past century and demolished close to 600 villages while expelling a majority of the native population. Historians have established that most arriving Jews were in fact Slavic converts to Judaism without any historical or genealogical nexus to Palestine or Hebrew tribes in the area.
Against the historical backdrop of the past century of nearly global rejection of colonialism, his claim of settled international acceptance of "Israel's legitimacy" is a major stretch. "Legitimacy" is what the conflict continues to be about - whether a 19th Century colonial enterprise can violently uproot and massacre an indigenous population taking over a land declaring God promised it to them, as they terrorize and expel the local inhabitants. Contrary to Peres' claim of Israel as a 'legitimate State', there is no internationally recognized right for Israel to exist on stolen land without the consent of the dispossessed. Peres assures his American benefactors that Israel's legitimacy is based "in international law or morality". In point of fact, both International law and morality require the right of return of those whose lands were taken and lifting the brutal occupation. Surely Peres is aware, as the CIA Report asserts, that a majority of the 192 countries which make up the membership of the United Nations would vote this evening to establish one State of Palestine if given the chance.
The Report concludes that what went wrong will be debated for many years. In essence the problem was the premise, that a 'chosen people' with no link or rights to a land could impose a state by force. Many Middle East observers believe that the Two State solution is essentially over, but for the packing, finger pointing and assuredly more violence.
Increasingly repelled by Israeli crimes, the international community is moving toward the majority position of Palestinians and is coming to believe that the realistic solution to the Middle East conflict is one State, secular, multicultural, democratic, and based on one person one vote.
Peres is loath to accept One State and claims, in promoting a two-state solution, that he has "personally witnessed the remarkable progress we have made with the Palestinian Authority in recent years".
Does he AS in mind the increasing bantusization (what Chomski calls " unviable fragments") the ever snaking apartheid wall and other barriers, the illegal outposts which increased yet again last year? The blockade of and depraved slaughter in Gaza?
Or does President Peres have in mind this week's announcement by outgoing Prime Minister Olmert that Israel has the right to keep building in large West Bank settlement blocs, including Efrat, by adding 423 acres so that 21,000 more residents can join the current 9,000, according to Efrat mayor Oded Revivi? Olmert claims its part of the annexation that will be considered in a future final peace deal with the Palestinians.
President Peres, has passed nearly a lifetime devoted to undermining prospects for a viable Palestinian state and offering a wink and nod to the building of more than 430 colonies while offering lip service to the 'peace process'. His 'Message to the American People' fails to communicate what the Israeli and Palestinian public knows well about the real nature of the Two State option he has in mind and which he considers to be " the best resolution to this age-old conflict." Both populations know that the Two State option that long time politician Peres has consistently run on, is the Yigal Allon Plan.
The Allon scheme to expel the Arab population from Palestine has been Peres' electoral platform during his campaigns in 1974, 1977, 1981, 1984, and 1987 and it shaped Israel's settlement policies from 1967 - 1977. Peres worked to make the Allon Plan part of the 1978 Camp David agreement and 1993 Oslo Accords.
As the American public begins to stir from its long slumber on the Question of Palestine and hopefully dramatically changes its Middle East policy, it should consider that the Peres favored 'moderate' Allon Plan continues to be Israeli policy. As formulated by its author and adhered to by successive Israel governments, it contains the following "moderate" elements:
— Seeking "maximum land with minimum Arabs;"
— annexes approximately 40% of the West Bank and Gaza, taking the choicest parts;
— Dispossess Palestinians from land Israel wants for Jews.
After Israel's attack in 1967, Allon presented to the cabinet a solution to the Arab problem. The Allon Plan called for annexing the following areas: "a strip of land ten to fifteen kilometers wide along the Jordan River; most of the Judean desert along the Dead Sea; and a substantial area around Greater Jerusalem, including the Latrun salient" The plan was crafted to include as few Arabs as possible in the area claimed for Israel and included building permanent colonies and army bases in these areas.
The two state solution that Peres is trying to sell the American public and administration is a Palestinian 'state' in 76.6% of the West Bank, carved up into sealed enclaves, with the largest of the 430 plus settlements/colonies remaining in place under Israeli sovereignty. Israel would take another 13.3% outright and continue to occupy the remaining 10.1% for a period of up to thirty years. During this period Israel would continue building new and expanding current settlement/colonies. The above percentages do not include the subtracted East Jerusalem and the territorial waters of the Dead Sea. In point of fact the 76% offer is based not on 100% of the occupied territories, but merely those parts that Israel was willing to discuss. Consequently, the "just and moral solution" President Peres favors would amount to slightly less than 16% of historic Palestine being given to those driven from their homes and land.
Peres claims Israel has worked tirelessly for peace. Yet the record is clear that Israel has only worked tirelessly for expansion at the expense of the indigenous Arab population while obstructing more than two dozen 'peace initiatives' over six decades, while targeting the Palestinian people, culture, and economy.
Peres claims in his Op Ed that Libyan leader Qadaffi agrees with Israel it deserves Palestine and that "this is salient in his fundamental and central premise that the Jewish people want and deserve their homeland." Peres takes Qadaffis' words out of contest and misrepresents his thesis which in fact calls for one State shared by both peoples. Qadaffi insists that the Middl East welcomes Judaism but not racist Zionism. It is the latter which underpins the founding of Israel and which has led to history's condemnation..
As the President of Israel seeks yet more indulgence and largesse from the American taxpayers and the Obama administration, there is something he can do to shore up waning trust and waxing disillusionment with the two state option. He can announce immediately that he fully accepts UN Security Council Resolution 242 and advocates the removal of all settlements and the total withdrawal of the Israeli military from the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel's President urges the American people and government to, "commit our most concerted effort to allow two states to flourish." Unless he and his fellow leaders of Israel are prepared, without further delay, to commit to a complete withdrawal to the June 4, 1967 armistice line, in a serious effort at peace, Israel will continue to lose American and International support and One State is the likely future for Palestine.
Israeli President Peres can avert his eyes from reality, but the Obama administration and the American people cannot afford this fatal delusion.

In developing countries, one in every three girls is married before reaching age 18.
It was a pretty and ordinary morning in rural Mozambique when Belita, 14, received heartbreaking news. She would soon be forced to marry.
"This man comes to my house to ask my parents to marry me this year," she recalls. "They accepted."
After learning the news, Belita crossed paths with child parliament members at her school. "I learned a lot of things about children's rights and the consequences of early marriage that day," she says about their conversation. World Vision-supported child parliament programs, in partnership with local governments, help to raise children's awareness of their rights and develop their leadership skills.
Belita was determined to change her fate. She tried to make her parents change their mind — but to no avail. They insisted that she would marry, no matter what it took.
Mozambique has a very high rate of child marriage, ranking number 10 in the world.
According the 2015 UNICEF report, "State of the World's Children (.pdf)," the countries with the highest rates of child marriage before age 18 are:
*Countries where World Vision works to help build communities that promote and provide for women's and girls' development along with men and boys.
A World Vision report on child marriage called "Untying the Knot: Exploring Early Marriage in Fragile States (.pdf)," found that fear of premarital pregnancy, rape, hunger, and homelessness were all drivers of child marriage.
Of the 25 countries with the highest rates of child marriage, the majority are affected by conflict, fragility, or natural disasters, the report finds.
In developing countries, one of every three girls is forced to marry before her 18th birthday.
Girls trapped in child marriage tend to be poor, under-educated, and living in rural areas where birth and death rates are high and where conflict is common.
Other drivers included harmful traditional practices and the lack of alternative opportunities for girls — in particular, the lack of opportunity to go to school. Girls will also marry because of threats and coercion.
Those who are subjected to child marriage are more likely to experience domestic violence, forced sexual relations, poor reproductive health, and lower levels of education, according to the report.
The young parliamentarians told World Vision staff and the school council about Belita's dilemma.
"We immediately called Belita's parents and the man who was supposed to marry her, along with his family, to my office," explained the school headmaster, Mr. Daniel Dimisseque. "We discussed the issue, showing them how harmful this could be to the child."
As a result of the discussion, all agreed that an early marriage was not in Belita's best interests.
To ensure that the early marriage would not take place, the parents and the man signed a declaration stating that if Belita is married before she turns 18, charges would be presented to the police.
Now Belita has one goal for her life. "All I want is to keep studying to become a teacher," she says.
"We believe that the elimination of child marriage in Mozambique requires more assertive, concerted action amongst key stakeholders," explains Persilia Muianga, a World Vision child protection manager in Mozambique.
To that end, World Vision helps organize local leaders, parents, educators, law enforcers, and social services to support girls in pursuing education and avoiding child marriage.
And World Vision children's clubs, like the child parliament that influenced Belita, empower girls with information, particularly on child rights and healthy development.
Belita now serves other children in her community as a member of the local child parliament. "I would not attain this dream," she says, "if it was not that meeting with child parliament."

An afternoon that got off to an inauspicious start, when stewards confiscated a banner protesting against Welsh involvement in Team GB at the Olympic Games, ended on a much happier note, as Gary Speed celebrated another highly impressive performance from a side who are growing in confidence with every game. This was a fourth win in five matches for a resurgent Wales team whose attacking talent was far too much for a Norway side 21 places above them in the Fifa rankings.
Gareth Bale's seventh goal in nine appearances for club and country set the tone for a sparkling first-half display that also included a wonderful individual strike from the outstanding Craig Bellamy.
It was the Liverpool forward's 19th international goal and his first since he scored in a 5-1 win over Luxembourg 15 months ago, back in the days when John Toshack was in charge and Wales were about to start a Euro 2012 qualifying campaign that began with four straight defeats.
How times have changed. This 4-1 scoreline might have flattered Wales – the substitute Sam Vokes scored twice in the last two minutes – but the win was thoroughly deserved and highlighted just how far a group of players who were drained of belief 12 months ago have come under Speed's tutelage.
Some of the sharp, incisive football in the opening 20 minutes was a joy to behold. "That was the best we have played," Speed said, alluding to the period when Bale and Bellamy struck.
Norway never recovered from that early double setback, and although Erik Huseklepp halved the deficit just after the hour mark, the Portsmouth forward's goal owed more to a dreadful handling error from Wayne Hennessey than the visitors' good play.
Wales continued to push forward and gained reward late on when Vokes applied the finishing touch to a flowing move involving Bellamy and Bale. An 18-yard drive from the same player 60 seconds later applied the coup de grace.
"We have got so much going forward that we can always create and score goals," Speed said, reflecting on a third straight win – the first time Wales have achieved that feat since the start of 2008. "I thought we took our foot off the pedal after the first 20 minutes and became a bit complacent – that's a lesson we have to learn. We gave away a bad goal, but we kept our shape and were solid. When you are as good as us going forward, you have always got a chance. I don't think it was a 4-1 [scoreline] but we still deserved to win the game."
Bale's opener was a cracker. After drifting inside and using his chest to lay the ball off for Steve Morison, the winger immediately looked for the return pass that the Norwich forward promptly delivered, the ball sitting up invitingly for Bale to dispatch an emphatic volley inside Rune Almenning Jarstein's near post. Bellamy's goal was every bit as special, the forward accepting the invitation to cut inside, after Adam Matthews's overlapping run served as a decoy, before arrowing a superb 20-yard drive into the far corner.
Hennessey's mistake – he dropped the ball and it bounced off Andrew Crofts and into the path of Huseklepp – gave Norway some hope, but that was extinguished when Vokes grabbed the first of his two goals. Bale and Bellamy exchanged passes before the former skidded a low centre across the six-yard box, imploring Vokes to tap in. "Craig's intelligence as a footballer made that goal. I can't speak highly enough of him," Speed said.
Vokes, striding forward before unleashing a low shot that crept inside the near upright, completed the scoring on a day when the opposition manager could look on only with admiration. "I was very impressed with Wales," Egil Olsen, the Norway manager said. "They have high-class players in Bellamy, Bale and Ramsey. They're a very good team and they should be optimistic for the future."

In a European study including children and adolescents ages 6 to 18, those who had experienced migraine headaches were more likely to have had colic as an infant.
"Infantile colic is a common cause of inconsolable crying during the first months of life," according to background information in the article, which is published in the April 17 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "The pathogenesis and the age-specific presentation of colic are not well understood. Infantile colic is usually interpreted as a pain syndrome and may be multifactorial.
"Migraine is a common cause of headache pain in childhood. Whether there is an association between these two types of pain is unknown."
To investigate, Silvia Romanello, MD, of the APHP-Hospital Robert Debré in Paris, and colleagues conducted a study of the possible association between migraine and colic. The case-control study included 208 children ages 6 to 18 who presented to the ED and were diagnosed as having migraines in three European tertiary care hospitals between April 2012 and June 2012. The control group was composed of 471 children in the same age range who visited the ED of each participating center for minor trauma during the same period.
A structured questionnaire identified personal history of infantile colic for case and control participants, confirmed by health booklets. A second study of 120 children diagnosed with tension-type headaches was done to test the specificity of the association.
The researchers found that children with migraine were more likely to have experienced infantile colic than those without migraine (72.6% vs. 26.5%). The subgroup analysis for migraine subtypes confirmed the association between infantile colic and either migraine without aura (73.9% vs. 26.5%) or migraine with aura (69.7% vs. 26.5%). This association was not found for children with tension-type headaches.
"The link between infantile colic and migraine could be based on a pathogenetic mechanism common to migraine without aura and also migraine with aura," the authors wrote. "We found that among migraine characteristics, only pulsatile pain was more frequent in children with a history of infantile colic than among children with migraine but without infantile colic.
"Infants with colic might experience a similar sensitization of the perivascular nerve terminals in the gut, although this hypothesis needs to be tested." The authors added that molecules known to be involved in the modulation of sensory activity also could be involved.
Longitudinal studies are needed to further explore the association between colic and childhood migraines, the researchers concluded.
