On June 30, 2004, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) intends to transfer power in Iraq to a fully sovereign Iraqi interim government. CPA and the Iraq Governing Council took a fundamental step toward this goal in March 2004, when they signed the Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period (hereafter referred to as the transitional law). The transitional law is intended to govern the affairs of Iraq until Iraqis approve a permanent constitution and a permanent Iraqi government takes office. GAO has ongoing and completed work reviewing various aspects of the U.S. effort to reconstruct Iraq. Our ongoing work includes reviewing the costs associated with reconstruction; the process used to award reconstruction contracts; efforts to develop Iraq's security forces; the rebuilding of Iraq's oil, electricity, and water infrastructure; and programs to help Iraq develop a unified, democratic government. For this report, we describe the following information as it exists at this time: (1) the time frames and Iraqi governmental structures established by the transitional law; (2) arrangements in the law for the U.S.-led multinational force, Iraqi security forces, and militias; and (3) mechanisms in the law for resolving disputes over property and territories within Iraq. In each of these areas, we also explain the transitional law's references to other Iraqi laws and legal provisions that help implement the transitional law. Where legal provisions to address these issues have not been completed, we describe the progress toward their completion or other actions to address the issues. We recognize that the situation is fluid and that there are ongoing efforts to address unresolved issues.
Iraq's transitional law divides the transitional period into two phases3--the interim government phase, which begins June 30, 2004, and the transitional government phase, which begins after elections for a National Assembly are held and the transitional government is formed. The law does not specify how the interim government is to be formed or structured, but provides that the interim government will govern in accordance with an annex to be developed. Since April 2004, the United Nations has been playing a key role in helping form and structure the interim government. Elections for the National Assembly are to be held no later than January 31, 2005, under an election law that, according to CPA officials, they aim to complete before the transfer of power. For the transitional government phase, the transitional law details the government's structure and responsibilities, including procedures for developing a permanent constitution and the federal structure. The National Assembly will draft a permanent constitution for the Iraqi people's approval in a general referendum. However, if a majority of Iraqi voters or if two-thirds of the voters in 3 of Iraq's 18 governorates reject the constitution, elections for a new National Assembly will be held and the process of drafting a permanent constitution begins again. To prevent the concentration of power in the federal government, the transitional law encourages local authority during the transitional period. The transitional law recognizes the Kurdistan Regional Government and specifies that it controls the police forces and internal security in the Kurdistan region. The transitional law includes some provisions under which Iraqi security forces and the multinational force will provide security in Iraq after the transfer of power. Officials from DOD and State are examining what additional provisions, if any, may be necessary to further define the role of the multinational force after June 30, including a new U.N. Security Council resolution or revisions to existing CPA orders. The transitional law also outlines elements of the command and control structure for some Iraqi security forces and outlaws all militias not under the command structure of the transitional government, except where provided by federal law. According to State and DOD officials, CPA is currently considering how it could further elaborate on provisions for both of these areas. The transitional law includes provisions for the transitional government to implement that are related to resolving disputes over property rights and territory. These disputes resulted from the previous regime's practices in altering the demographic character and boundaries of certain regions and territories, including Kirkuk. One provision calls for compensating residents who were deported, expelled, or who emigrated, by restoring their homes and property to them, or, where this is infeasible, providing just compensation within a reasonable time. Another provision establishes a process Iraqis will use to resolve the status of disputed territories. If Iraqis cannot resolve the status of disputed territories through the prescribed processes, they would request assistance from the United Nations. The transitional law provides a road map for establishing a permanent, unified, and democratic government in Iraq. Nonetheless, some issues related to the transfer of power remain unresolved. For example, the transitional law does not specify how the interim government is to be structured, nor does it fully clarify the authority of a multinational force in Iraq after the transition of power. U.S. officials and others are working to resolve these and other issues before June 30, to ensure that the transfer of authority can proceed as planned. These issues are discussed in our summary.

2012 was all about escape. Not only in terms of the big-budget movies that offered us escape from the increasingly ugly real world (how many superheroes or swoony vampires can we stomach?), but by the content of the more adult movies. Characters wanted an escape – from slavery, from a futuristic Korea, from time-travel gangsters, from a burdensome lover – and in these stories we were afforded tremendous freedom. They transported us, for sure, while reminding us of the very real hardships 2012 afforded us all. Below are my very favorite movies of the year, all of which I will be escaping to, again and again, for years to come.
10. "Looper" (Rian Johnson)
Rian Johnson is one of those directors whose previous movies (the high school-set film noir "Brick" and the con-man what's-it "The Brothers Bloom") were always more "clever" than they were "good." There was a feeling, with "Looper," a twisty-turny sci-fi thriller about futuristic hit-men, time travel, and neckties, that this was Johnson's last shot as a director – if he didn't stick this, then he would be relegated to infrequently directing episodes of "Breaking Bad" while fanboys everywhere wondered what else he was up to. Thankfully, he knocked it out of the fucking park. What makes "Looper" such a kick isn't its collection of interlocking narrative curlicues (although those are pretty great), or the fact that Johnson has two actors (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis) as different versions of the same character, and made one the villain and the other the hero, or the Verhoeven levels of satire and violence, but rather its unprecedented emotional core. For a movie with flying motorcycles and time travel and god knows what else, its best special effect is what it makes you feel. There were a lot of kick-ass genre contraptions released this year (among them: "Dredd" and "Cabin in the Woods"), movies that effortlessly wove their influences alongside brand new ideas, but "Looper" was the only one that broke your heart and made you cheer at the same damn time.
09. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (Behn Zeitlin)
Who would have thought that the year's best fantasy film wouldn't involve hobbits at all, but rather a small black child named Hushpuppy who lives in a bayou called The Bathtub? Me neither. But "Beasts of the Southern Wild" presented itself as a bold new piece of American folk art, creating an utterly gritty and spectacularly fantastical version of post-Katrina Louisiana where giant monsters (unleashed from melted blocks of ice – we're all part of the same stew, after all) are a genuine threat and people get around in boats made up of old pick-up trucks. There was nothing else really like "Beasts of the Southern Wild" that came out all year – and the fact that I saw it so long ago and it still leaves a set of vivid impressions is a testament to its power. We hope it continues triumphantly through the awards season, if only because I really want to see Quvenzhane Wallis at the Oscars, clutching a chick to her ear to listen to its heartbeat.
08. "Cloud Atlas" (The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer)
Well, they did it. A complicated, international, three-way directorial partnership wrangled David Mitchell's Russian-nesting-doll of a novel "Cloud Atlas" into a big-time feature film, with movie stars (Tom Hanks! Halle Berry! Q from "Skyfall"!). Both cosmically profound and achingly silly, "Cloud Atlas" attempted to tell the story of the human experience through a half-dozen different stories that take place in a variety of locations (San Francisco in the seventies, a futuristic Seoul, a far-flung Hawaii), using a small collection of actors who each played a variety of roles, oftentimes switching gender and ethnicity. It's mind-bogglingly complicated and yet never feels like it's trying to outright impress you. It's clever without ever being clever-in-quotes. For all its oversized weirdness, there's an earnestness and optimism in "Cloud Atlas" that is utterly infectious; every frame borders on being romantically swoony. Fundamentally more experimental (and existential) than things that were more openly applauded for being such (I'm looking at you, Paul Thomas Anderson), "Cloud Atlas" is a bizarro would-be blockbuster; a 3-hour, $150-million doodle about reincarnation and love and slavery and escape. We should be thankful that a piece of large-scale filmmaking as bold as "Cloud Atlas" exists at all, and we should be doubly thankful that it turned out so well.
07. "Anna Karenina" (Joe Wright)
Director Joe Wright is a filmmaker incapable of doing anything that isn't an overwhelming visual spectacle, but what's so remarkable about his ingenious take on Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" is that its synthesized strangeness (the whole thing takes place on the stage inside a crumbling theater) never sabotages its emotional impact. Keira Knightley stars as the titular character, torn between her uptight husband (Jude Law, continuing his climb back to the top) and a dashing young soldier (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Wright continues his very literal fascination with rhythm forwarding narrative by having almost every sequence play out like an extended musical number, with the camera swirling around the actors like another dancer. It's ornate and opulent and theatrical in a manner that emphasizes the melodrama of the source material in new and vital ways. This was a huge creative gamble that ended up paying off; instead of working against the humanity and emotion of the piece, the all-the-world's-a-stage embellishment ends up enhancing it. It's utterly spellbinding, in every sense of the word.
06. "Killing Them Softly" (Andrew Dominik)
One of the lowest-grossing movies of Brad Pitt's career is also one of his best. Reteaming with his "Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" director Andrew Dominik, Pitt starred as a hit man employed by the mafia to clean up after a mob-run card game is robbed. That's about all there is, plot-wise; instead the movie chugs along with the kicky swiftness of a pulp novel (and, indeed, the film was based on a novel by the author of "The Friends Of Eddie Coyle") – it's nothing but kiss kiss bang bang. From a relatively skeletal narrative, Dominik chooses to openly critique the American monetary system and (more specifically) the Wall Street bailout, setting the movie in 2008 and using a series of speeches by Obama and McCain to serve as a kind of alternate score. (This was apparently "too much" for a lot of people, who just wanted to see Brad Pitt kick people's asses.) As a showcase for stellar character actors (among them: Ben Mendelhson, Sam Shepherd, James Gandolfini, and Richard Jenkins), "Killing Them Softly" can't be topped. It very much feels like a new crime-movie classic.
05. "Magic Mike" (Steven Soderbergh)
Going into "Magic Mike," it was hard not to feel giddy with the possibility of a new cult classic, one in which the male body was (finally) commodified and exploited in the same luxuriously leery ways that the female body has been (in things like "Showgirls" and "Striptease"). What was so unexpected was just how great the movie was, how about-to-retire director Steven Soderbergh used the subject of male stripping to make one of the only great movies about the worldwide economic crisis, while at the same time creating a crafty look at a very specific subculture a la "Saturday Night Fever" or "American Gigolo." Oh, and it's one of the most amazing-looking digitally-shot movies ever made (see also: Soderbergh's thoughts on the digital revolution in the thoroughly undervalued, wholly brilliant film world documentary "Side by Side") that had the pleasure of announcing a major new movie star in the form of Channing Tatum, who had done solid (if workmanlike) roles in the past, but with "Magic Mike" cemented his place in the handsome-and-talented pantheon. "Magic Mike"'s best trick, though, is that all of this heady stuff (its themes, subtext, and Tatum's abs) is crammed into one of the most relentlessly entertaining movies of the year. It impressed me so much that I almost threw a wad of crumpled-up five dollar bills at the screen.
04. "Django Unchained" (Quentin Tarantino)
Quentin Tarantino's splatter-western is arguably his most uneven and editorially wonky movie to date, feeling both overlong and tragically underdeveloped, but it's still one of the most blisteringly alive movies to be released all year. You may mourn for what didn't make the cut (like the extended Broomhilda sequence and all that Samuel L. Jackson stuff in the last act), but what remains is nothing short of spectacular. Tarantino tackles slavery and all its historically appropriate nastiness with more gusto than Steven Spielberg did in his stately, drab "Lincoln," crafting a relentlessly entertaining revenge tale out of one of the more depressing American institutions. As a freed slave hellbent on recovering his lost wife, Jamie Foxx lends more emotional resonance than you'd expect, especially since this is a film largely defined by the amount of exploding heads that blossom like time-lapse flowers onscreen, and Kerry Washington is so angelic that you can easily see why it's worth killing a small army of rednecks to win her back. Every performance is peerless, but Leonardo DiCaprio's villainous Calvin Candie, an evil plantation owner with a twisted sense of right and wrong, stands out. Amazingly, in a movie filled with characters and situations ripped from comic books and seventies movie posters, DiCaprio stands out as genuinely colorful. Sure, it's easy to hate him, but you also kind of love him too.
03. "Room 237" (Rodney Ascher)
This haunting documentary might not open wide until this spring, but there was an awards-qualifying run (for a week) in New York and LA, so it's on the list, baby! Like "Zero Dark Thirty," "Room 237" is a tale of obsession, except this time it's the hidden meanings of Stanley Kubrick's horror movie "The Shining" that propel five people into what can charitably described as single-minded monomania. You never see these people, who range from writers to academics to internet amateurs, you just hear their voices, and Ascher assembles a series of images that become so mesmerizing that they border on the hypnotic – scenes from not just "The Shining" but other Kubrick movies (like "Eyes Wide Shut") and eighties horror movies from the period – that are meant to enhance and elaborate on the various theories. Everything from the film being a metaphor for the Holocaust to it being a very public confession from Kubrick designed to expose his involvement in the faking of the moon landing are examined here, in painstaking detail. (One of my favorite bits is the woman who virtually mapped out the Overlook Hotel, showing that the young son in the film was skipping between hallways and floors as he pedaled his tricycle around the hotel.) It's brilliant filmmaking, through and through. "Room 237's" biggest accomplishment might actually be that it causes you to rethink how you watch "The Shining," which after thirty years and countless viewings, is a huge feat indeed. It's a cult classic in the making.
02. "Zero Dark Thirty" (Kathryn Bigelow)
"Zero Dark Thirty" is a lot of things – it's a tale of revenge, it's a character study of a woman who becomes obsessed at all costs, it's a historical document, it's a procedural, it's a seventies-style thriller, and it's totally fucking brilliant. Bigelow, continuing the historical action-movie trajectory that began with the outrageously underrated "K-19: The Widowmaker" and continued with her Oscar-winning heart-stopper "The Hurt Locker," reaches its natural conclusion here: a movie that has immediacy built into its DNA (the film's climax happened something like 18 months ago — in real life). In the performance of the year, Jessica Chastain plays Maya, a CIA operative who is determined to bring down Osama bin Laden, chief architect of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Her performance is largely internal, but Maya certainly goes on a journey, to the point where the movie reaches its conclusion and you find yourself choking up, emotionally synched up with a character you know very little about. Chastain is surrounded by a satellite of amazing character actors (Edgar Ramirez, Jason Clarke, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, James Gandolfini, and Jennifer Ehle among them), who invisibly slip into the roles of the various agents, operatives, and wonks that helped facilitate the largest manhunt in human history, which ultimately ended up spanning ten years and two wars. Yes, "Zero Dark Thirty" is morally thorny, but the film treats torture with a just-the-facts-ma'am frankness. If it happened, it's in "Zero Dark Thirty." Rarely are thrillers this cathartic.
01. "Holy Motors" (Leos Carax)
It's been over a dozen years since the world was blessed with a new Leos Carax feature film, but "Holy Motors" makes it very clear that the wait was worth it. Ostensibly a love letter to actors (and, in a larger sense, movies themselves), "Holy Motors" tells the story of a man named Oscar (frequent Carax collaborator Denis Lavant), who, on a single day, is driven around in a stretch limo and goes on a series of "appointments," in which he transforms into a number of characters for a variety of reasons. In one, he's performing actions for some kind of pornographic variation of "Avatar's" motion capture system; in another he reenacts a scene lifted wholesale from "Portrait of a Lady;" or he's been changed into a leprechaun-like goblin who kidnaps a model (played sportingly by a selfless Eva Mendes) and terrorizes the propriety of futuristic Paris. (That last section should be at least passably familiar to those of us who saw the anthology film "Tokyo;" where Carax contributed a story involving this same gnome-like man-beast.) In the margins, Oscar engages in not one but two incredible musical numbers more jaw-dropping than anything in "Les Miserables;" an accordion jam session variation of R.L. Burnside's "Let My Baby Ride" and an original musical number with Kylie Minogue that takes place inside an abandoned department store and is unequivocally one of the more hauntingly beautiful moments in cinema this year. Is "Holy Motors" weird? Yes. Sometimes impenetrably so. (Honestly, I wanted my explanation for placing "Holy Motors" atop my list to consist of one word: "Because." Then I thought better of it.) But that's kind of beside the point, considering it's one of the more galvanic, moving movies I have seen in the past few years, utterly transformative and surreal and very, very silly. Fuck the hoopla over 48 frames-per-second; "Holy Motors" was unlike anything I had ever seen before in movies. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my limo, wearing the weird white mask from "Eyes Without a Face."
Best Animated Movie: "ParaNorman" (Chris Butler and Sam Fell)
Stop-motion animation had a huge resurgence in 2012, with three major animated features released that utilized the painstaking process (the others were Sony and Aardman's somewhat disappointing "Pirates! A Band of Misfits" and Disney's brilliant black-and-white Tim Burton freak-out "Frankenweenie"). The best of them, though, was "ParaNorman," a lovingly crafted coming-of-age tale about a young boy named Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who has the ability to talk to ghosts. Ostensibly a parable about bullying (and how the bullied can actually prove quite useful to society, especially when it's threatened by zombies and witches), "ParaNorman" was more emotionally satisfying than any animated movie this year, along with the most eye-popping design work. It's also really, really funny. The John Hughes-meets-John Carpenter vibe that the filmmakers were going for is consistent throughout, which might have been the problem – it's probably a little too intense for most super-young kids, which is why the similarly themed but way more candy-colored "Hotel Transylvania" walked away with so much more of the box office. Time will out on "ParaNorman," though; it's a new classic.
Runner-up: "Wreck-It Ralph." For the first time in a long time Disney beat its studiomates Pixar in terms of sheer wonderment. A dizzying ode to old-school videogames, "Wreck-It Ralph" was an exhilarating, oddly sweet blast, from uncanny "Futurama" director Rich Moore. We would definitely insert more quarters.
Best Foreign Movie: "Rust & Bone" (Jacques Audiard)
When you describe "Rust & Bone" it sounds hopelessly depressing – a woman (played by the stunning Marion Cotillard), who works at a SeaWorld-esque aqua park, is injured in a stage accident, and one of the killer whales she desperately loves swims by and chomps off her legs. She then falls in love (sort of) with a small-time thug (Matthias Schoenaerts). At the screening we attended at the Hamptons Film Festival, some stuffy white dude stood up in the middle of the movie, said, "What kind of movie is this?" and stormed out in a huff. His loss. "Rust & Bone" is beautiful and profound and, yes, uplifting, filmed beautifully by "A Prophet" auteur Jacques Audiard with a fine attention to detail and emotional realism (it was adapted from a collection of short stories by Craig Davidson). There are a number of sequences that are absolutely heartbreaking (including a couple set to Katy Perry's sugary single "Fireworks"). Thanks to visual effects wizardry, Cotillard's legs are magically removed, although no matter how hard they may have tried to make her otherwise, she still looked beyond stunning.
Runner-up: "Doomsday Book," a Korean sci-fi anthology, anchored by "Heavenly Creature," about a robot that reaches spiritual enlightenment while in the company of Buddhist monks. As directed by Kim Ji-woon, who directs the upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger comeback vehicle "The Last Stand," it might be my favorite 30 minutes of 2012.
Best Movie That Hasn't Been Picked Up Yet: "Sparrows Dance" (Noah Buschel)
When I heard about what "Sparrows Dance" was about, I honestly thought it was going to be the most boring movie ever made by humankind. An agoraphobic woman (Marin Ireland from "Homeland") who never leaves her apartment, falls in love with the plumber (Paul Sparks from "Boardwalk Empire") who is sent to repair her pipes. Weirdness and romance ensue. But from that unappealing logline, which sounds like something that Lena Dunham wrote in the margins of a second season episode of "Girls," comes one of the most outrageously amazing films I saw all year. Buschel is an impish stylist, casting gobs of brightly colored light to illuminate sequences, framing the movie in a boxy 4:3 aspect ratio, and at one point opening up the scene to show that the apartment is a set (brilliant), never getting bogged down in the haggard "naturalism" of the mumblecore genre. The performances are brilliant, too, it should be noted. And the closing credits feature my favorite music moment of the year. If this thing doesn't get picked up I'm going to tour with it, city to city. Mark my words.
Runner-up: "Sin Bin." It's a charming little high school movie, equal parts Wes Anderson and John Hughes, and deserves to be seen by people who are actually in high school. Pick it up like that seventh period French class!

What To Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter; mix well. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, forming a crust. Bake 8 minutes; let cool completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mixes and milk until well combined and thickened. Pour into cooled pie shell. Top with whipped topping, mounding it in center and tapering down to crust. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs.
- Arrange berries and banana, orange, and kiwi slices over top of pie. Using a pastry brush, brush fruit with melted jelly. Cover loosely and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

A boat trip on a beautiful lake
... water. The boats on the lake are all electric to preserve the cleanliness and peacefulness of the area. At one point on the trip the guide gets his trumpet out, and plays a tune next to the cliffside called the Echowand, and depending on the weather the notes echo one or two times - all very funky ...
Austrian Alps
Today was another day where plans fell through, Brendan nearly died and we ended up freezing at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere- but not all was lost.

Today we headed back to the Berchtesgaden area and went to see the Obersalzberg documentation museum. We had passed this yesterday but it was shut so we knew roughly what to expect. The museum documents the rise of Hitler, his beliefs and the Nazi regime. What we hadn't appreciated was that Obersalzberg itself used to be a small mountain village before Hitler arrived, and decided to make it his ...
Visiting Berchtesgarden
The weather was mixed today so we decided to go to the town of Berchtesgaden and take a drive up the Rossfeldstrasse, the highest panoramic drive in Germany. It was then time for coffee and a cake in the town before having a quick stomp about. We needed to be back in reasonable time, as we were heading to Salzburg, to the cinema, having found a Cineplex that was showing Spectre in English !! Yeah ...
Hallstatt, Austria's hidden gem
... much as we do now and 3) we have arrived just in time to see the fall colors. Our hearts have been a little heavy lately with missing home as we've been gone over 6 weeks now. It's crazy how you can be in some of the most beautiful places in the world and still get homesick. We miss our family, friends, and really miss Manny. It will be a nice treat to arrive just before Thanksgiving which promises us plenty of family time. Germany is our next destination where we get to ...

Dr. Eugene Chadbourne
Dr. Eugene Chadbourne is one of those genius avant-garde musicians that most people don't readily recognize despite his long career and influence. But he's worked with similarly minded artists such as John Zorn, Fred Frith, Carla Bley, Camper Van Beethoven and Sun City Girls. Like the Sun City gals, Chadbourne fearlessly mixes together styles of music to produce something utterly unique. At first listen, his music sounds like an unlikely but pleasant enough fusion of bluegrass, jazz and folk. But subversive elements weave in under the surface and become an essential part of entire songs. Beyond being a pioneer of the noise genre, Chadbourne shows a complete though playful disregard for the walls that separate forms of music. His eclectic songs and live shows are shining testaments to that approach.

The smell is wonderful and strong. Conditioned my hair pretty well.
I love this stuff!
Posted by Reviewer3258246 on Nov 09, 2008
I really like this conditioner. It smells great and does a wonderful job of conditioning my hair without weighing it down. When I went to my salon, the hairdresser asked me what hair products I had been using because my hair looked so healthy (which is saying a lot because i have long, highlighted hair). This conditioner is also dirt cheap, which is definitely a plus!

love it!

The conditioner combined with the shampoo is working wonders. I also notice my hair is growing along my hairline...I read it in one of the older reviews and I didn't elieve this would be the case, but truly it's growing my hair which has been falling out more as I get older...I sent this shampoo and conditioner to my mother to try.
Very nice
Posted by Reviewer2625092 on Jan 04, 2009
I am very happy with this conditioner. It doesn't seem to leave any buildup or weigh the hair down, yet it conditions nicely and helps detangle. The smell is nice in my opinion, and it's good to know they're using safer more natural ingredients.
Best conditionner i have ever used
Posted by Sweatheart on Oct 25, 2015
I try many conditionner but basically , i always come back to this one . I have 4A/4B natural hair .This product brings life to them!It leaves my hair moisturize and my curls well defined. Next order : 6 bottles!
Posted by Sprinkles on Jan 27, 2010
I'm giving this product a 4 for its great ingredient list, EXCEPT for the added fragrance. I would have given it a 5+ if it wasn't for the fragrance. It is too strong! And I don't find it a particularly pleasant smell even if it wasn't so strong. I am rather sensitive to strong scents anyway, so I'm sure this bothers me more than some others, but I also noticed that the perfume they put in this has extreme sticking power and hangs around longer than I would like. Too bad that Nature's Gate doesn't make any conditioners at this time without added fragrances! You can't beat the price of this.
great product, great value
Posted by raeannewright on Feb 09, 2010
I love this and the jojoba conditioner. The jojoba was out of stock, so I tried this one and it's just as great. Been vary pleased with nature's gate hair products!
Posted by Reviewer1867436 on Dec 11, 2009
The best conditioner I have ever used. My hair feels perfectly soft and bouncing.
Soft hair
Posted by Reviewer3285476 on Oct 05, 2011
Great conditioner! There's nothing wrong with this product. It smells good and it makes my hair super soft!
Posted by kirjasalla on Oct 27, 2011
I colour my long hair with henna, and this conditioner is the best I've used so far. Makes my hair soft but strong and a bit thicker. Works best when I keep it in my hair about an hour under a shower cap and a towel.

Colonial Armies in Southeast Asia by Tobias Rettig
Book DescriptionColonial armies were the focal points for some of the most dramatic tensions inherent in Chinese, Japanese and Western clashes with Southeast Asia. The international team of scholars take the reader on a compelling exploration from Ming China to the present day, examining their conquests, management and decolonization. The journey covers perennial themes such as the recruitment, loyalty, and varied impact of foreign-dominated forces. But it also ventures into unchartered waters by highlighting Asian use of 'colonial' forces to dominate other Asians. This sends the reader back in time to the fifteenth century Chinese expansion into Yunnan and Vietnam, and forwards to regional tensions in present-day Indonesia, and post-colonial issues in Malaysia and Singapore. Drawing these strands together, the book shows how colonial armies must be located within wider patterns of demography, and within bigger systems of imperial security and power - American, British, Chinese, Dutch, French, Indonesian, and Japanese - which in turn helped to shape modern Southeast Asia. Colonial Armies in Southeast Asia will interest scholars working on low intensity conflict, on the interaction between armed forces and society, on comparative imperialism, and on Southeast Asia.

Pharmacoepidemiology: Scrutinizing drug safety in dermatology
Pharmacoepidemiology has timely significance for dermatologists, given recent national publicity focused on the association of isotretinoin with suicide and lymphoma with psoriasis, according to Joel M. Gelfand, M.D., M.S.C.E., University of Pennsylvania Health System's department of dermatology.
Dr. Gelfand says many adverse drug reactions are not detected prior to drug approval because they are statistically rare.
He cites the reported association of isotretinoin with suicide. He says isotretinoin has been used by more than 12 million people worldwide, and that due to the widespread use of this medication, one would expect by pure coincidence to observe suicides, given that suicide is the third most common cause of death in patients in the age group commonly prescribed the drug.
He adds that pharmacoepidemiology can also be used to discover novel indications for medications.

Plans to convert Britain's biggest power station to run on greener fuels were in jeopardy last night after the European Commission ordered an "in-depth investigation" into a possible violation of state aid rules.
The giant Drax plant in North Yorkshire, which was built in the 1970s and runs mainly on coal, has already converted two of its six units to burn wood pellets as part of a drive to generate more of its electricity from greener fuels.
It wants to convert at least another unit to burn wood, a fuel that also allows Drax to qualify for generous subsidies under

Shoulder Pain/Injury, who do I go see?
I have been trying to ignore away a shoulder injury for the last 3-4 months. It is at the point where I can no longer do any direct shoulder work, and the only chest work I can do really is flat bench. The only way I can flat bench is by warming up extensively. And even at that it is uncomfortable.
However it has had no effect what so ever on any pulling motions.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but based on what I've read I believe it to be either a shoulder impingement or rotator cuff related.
My question is, what sort of medical professional do I need to see about this issue? A sports medicine doctor? A physiotherapist? I'm just not sure who to go to first.
Any advice or comments would be apreciated.

The Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Lord", is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Easwaran's reliable and accessible version has consistently been the best-selling translation. Easwaran's introduction places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions give clear explanations of key concepts in that chapter.
"Content and narration reduced me to tears"
Prince Arjuna faces a dilemma that troubles many people sooner or later - whether to take action that is necessary but morally ambiguous. The difference is that Arjuna's action is to wage war against his own family. With the armies arrayed, Arjuna loses his nerve. Krishna, his charioteer and incarnation of divine consciousness, begins to teach him about the nature of God and of himself. Arjuna learns that he can attain liberation through union with God, and that there are several possible paths to this goal.
"Stephen Mitchell makes a difference!"
The Bhagavad Gita has been called India's greatest contribution to the world. In this audio version of his classic book The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners, Jack Hawley makes its wisdom clear to Western seekers.
"A Walkingthrough, not enough Thinkingthrough..."
The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most famous of all Indian scriptures, is universally regarded as one of the world's spiritual and literary masterpieces. Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than 75 languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight.
"Excellent, wide-ranging intro to the Gita"
This simple introduction to both the Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is a gentle way to ease into these ancient texts. Crafted for use in Hatha Yoga studios, teacher training programs and experiential classroom venues, students will find the language of the book friendly and engaging while teachers will find a rich offering of dialogue-encouraging questions and activities to enrich the learning experience.
"Great discussion, poor pronunciation."
Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people's lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita: Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda shares the profound insights of Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.
"Excelent Read, Very Informative"
Written in the ancient language of Sanskrit, the Bhagavad-Gita is a compelling epic poem that holds within it all of the answers to the questions that have baffled humankind since the beginning of time, and will continue to do so well into the future. Through powerful interpretation, storytelling, and the personal insights that he has experienced throughout his own life, Steven sheds great light on the many layers of teachings that are presented in this short yet sometimes perplexing text.
"A Great Introduction to Gita"
The Glorious Bhagavad Gita renders in English all 18 chapters of this holy spiritual text from 3,500 years ago, filled with esoteric and practical wisdom about a wide variety of life questions and experiences, recited to a meter and tune based on the Sanskrit version as sung by Anandamayi Ma.
"Loved it!"
The search for higher truth must be conducted in the midst of the forces of life, with all its demands and seductions. So teaches The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient text that has been called the quintessence of the spirituality of India. In it, the great warrior Arjuna contemplates the meaning of life, just moments before entering the battlefield. "Why do I exist? Why should I fight against my loved ones? And where shall I go after I die?" he asks himself in search for knowledge of the Absolute.
"Oh, the humanity!"
The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: The reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.
"Absolutely the Ultimate"
The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture written in Sanskrit language. It was written as part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata by the sage Ved Vyas, whose full name was Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa. The scripture contains 700 verses that talk about various spiritual issues that you may come across in your life and that help in achieving liberation.
"Bhagavad Gita for Beginners"
In a clear and wonderful way, Lord Krishna describes the science of self-realization and the exact process by which a human being can establish their eternal relationship with God. In terms of pure, spiritual knowledge the Bhagavad Gita is incomparable. Its intrinsic beauty is that its knowledge applies to all human beings and does not postulate any sectarian ideology. It is approachable from the sanctified realms of all religions and is glorified as the epitome of all spiritual teachings.
In this illuminating audio experience, Deepak Chopra invites listeners to experience the therapeutic power of sound through language and music. In Volume I, Deepak explains how language forms our material reality and shapes our beliefs and behavior. Listeners are treated to a selection of sacred verses from the Bhagavad Gita that spontaneously generate insight, intuition, and inner harmony.
"Give it a chance..."
Bhagavadgita, o "Canto del Divino", o "Il canto divino" è un poema di contenuto religioso inserito nel grande poema epico indiano Mahabharata. La Bhagavadgita ha valore di testo sacro, ed è divenuto nella storia tra i testi più popolari e amati tra i fedeli dell'Induismo.In questo testo è il dio stesso che parla, incarnato in un personaggio(Krisna) del canto, e risponde alle domande di Arjuna, essendo così l'unico testo sacro in cui il Dio spiega la propria dottrina.
Lo Zen presentato attraverso brevi storie e dialoghi tratti dalle opere dei principali maestri di questa La Bhagavad Gita e' stata definita la "quintessenza" della spiritualita' dell'India. La Gita e' il cuore del Mahabharata, la grande epopea induista, e il dialogo fra Krishna e l'eroe semidio Arjuna si rivolge a tutti coloro che ricercano una piu' elevata verita' sul mondo. L'audiolibro racconta questo dialogo e lo colloca nel contesto storico-mitico.
Lo stile di vita contemporaneo è infatti spesso frammentato, e diveniamo incapaci di cogliere i legami che ci uniscono al Creato...

Brugal Extra Viejo Rum Reviews
17 Customer Reviews
I use to drink Bacardi not anymore I love it
Nice overlay of wood and spice.a little mediciny neat but a nice little tangy as a mixer
Love it!
just got a bottle of this at the airport instead of a spare Zacapa (for the same price!!), foolish. quite smooth but that's not enough!
Always hated rum ... Tried this premium 8 year old (yes definitely 8 year old as stated at the factory) when on holiday in dominican and I love it, smooth as a drink can be nd perfct mixed with coke....
Brugal is one of the best i've ever drunk, shame we can't get Brugal 151 in UK!! thats potent stuff!
Don't agree with most posts. I love rum and have enjoyed many. I was surpass by the Brugal Carta Dorado that a Dominican friend gave me. Love he brought the Spanish label.
This Rum is Fantasic. It offers hugely complex spiced aromas and flavours, and works exceptionally well with Ginger Beer and a slice of lime.
Brugal is excellent - is the competion getting worried?
the best rum on the planet where can i get some in canada
Have just returned from the Dominican Republic and brought this rum from the Brugal factory back with us. I'm not usually a rum drinker but absolutely loved this one.
hey its me again i tried that bottle of extra viejo and loved it also to my surprize i have found another bottle of brugal in my cabinet only it is Carta Dorada RON Dominicano i hope it is as good as the last ill stay in touch to let u know.
I have a bottle of this rum sitting infront of me right now unopened that my mother gave me. i have had it for about a year now and am going to try it this weekend hope i like it n will write what i think after i recover.
its not your typical rum...strange dry anise taste with a very short lived bland finish.
Not impressed so many better rums out there!
the guy at the brugal factory said it was 4 years old?
i have just come back from the dominican and have absolutly loved this rum with all my drinks. One for all occcasions

... yet another performance. This time from a man in bright red T shirt and matching knee length shorts who suddenly begins shouting at everyone whilst walking up and down the bus. We think its some kind of religious rant. His cries are now directed at one woman in particular. She is covering her face with her headscarf. Is she crying, laughing, or just embarrassed? Next he kisses the head of the lady in black sitting opposite. Then its back ...

... prices of things, though, bec we get suck if getting ripped off. Still, some won't negotiate. Majorly variable. Anyway, we decided that 20 was what we wanted to pay, went through 3 cabbies but someone agreed, then the fight (it got a little physical) was over that 20 dirham ride which is about $2.50 and not super close. So apparently 20 rate is still fair and desirable. Noted for next time. Terrace Dinner - terrace overlooking the huge square was a great way to finish a first ...

Water and Children
Water Facts
Nearly 5,000 children die every day from a water-related illness…that's one nearly every 20 seconds.
1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of five worldwide is due to a water-related disease.
Enrollment rates for girls have been shown to improve by over 15% when provided with clean water and toilet facility, because girls no longer have to walk miles every day to fetch water. (UN)
Women and children bear the burdens disproportionately, often spending six hours or more each day fetching water for their families and communities. (UN)
90% of the deaths due to diarrheal diseases are children under 5 years old, mostly in developing countries.
(UN Water).
Malnutrition, due to dirty water, inadequate sanitation, and hygiene, is estimated to lead to death in 2,350 children under the age of five each day. (World Health Organization)
Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children under five in the world. Around 1.5 million deaths each year - nearly one in five – are caused by diarrhea. It kills more children than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined. (UNICEF, WHO)
Lack of access to sanitation for girls reaching puberty becomes a central cultural and human health issue, contributing to female illiteracy and low levels of education, and contributing to a cycle of poor health for pregnant women and their children. (UN)

The EU Presidency takes place in the Netherlands for half a year starting January 2016 at the Amsterdam Marineterrein (Marine Area). Here European politicians gather in the mobile 'Europe Building' made especially for this event. Eye catcher is the entrance façade designed by DUS architects, which consists of unique 3D printed elements made of bio-plastic that can be fully recycled after the presidency is over.
The entrance of the building is partially constructed with playfully shaped sails that refer to the historical sailing ships that used to be built in this area. This creates alcoves, which house EU-blue coloured 3D-printed benches. The printed patterns build up from large to small and round to square and depict the variety and community of the EU countries. At night the sails are lit gradually with a pulsing light.
Every seating element is parametrically designed and fits perfectly within each alcove. They are prototypes developed especially for the EU presidency, and printed locally with the XXL 3D printer of the 3D Print Canal House in Amsterdam. This life-size printer can print elements up to 2 x 2 x 3,5 meters. The prints are made of a specially developed bio-plastic and the seating surfaces are filled with a light-coloured concrete. The bio-plastic can be shredded and reprinted after the presidency is over. This is the first time in the world that these kinds of XXL 3D prints are being shown in the public domain.
The project is the first commercial spin-off resulting from the collaborations on the 3D Print Canal House: an initiative of DUS architects and partners. The production of the 3D prints has been done by Actual, an Amsterdam-based start-up that develops online customizing software for building elements linked to XL 3D printing. The façade has been developed in a very short time span thanks to the close collaboration between the various parties: DUS (design), Actual (parametric development & 3D printing), Neptunus (temporary structures), TenTech (engineering), Henkel (material development), Philips (light), and Heijmans (construction and assembly).
