Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

[2001 Ford Focus ZX3] Antifreeze burning in the sparkplug wells (#1, #2)
On my way to work yesterday evening: My vehicle's temperature gauge was at 0F (never moved) for the majority of the drive; I thought it was rather peculiar, but possibly had something to do with the fact that I had just put petroleum jelly on the battery terminals (which shouldn't affect anything). Then, ~10 miles in: The engine started to misbehave, and misfire (and now I think I know why). I pulled over, looked at it, and saw nothing wrong. I unscrewed the antifreeze reservoir, and immediately noticed it had no pressure built up. Then, after I started the vehicle up: The temperature gauge suddenly (slowly) climbed to 50% (where it normally sits at after you drive for a bit). It stayed there for a bit. Then, as I drove off, and used the gas: It would slowly drop back down to 0F. This morning (a few hours ago), after I pulled into the drive way: I checked the radiator cap again. It had a very little amount of pressure. The temperature gauge read 'normal' too. It did the same trick. I decided to pull the spark plug cover off, because I heard a slight 'hissing' noise (I thought it was the serpentine belt honestly). The spark plug well was filled up half way with something BOILING, and STEAMING (antifreeze.. The water portion). I left the covers off, and walked away. I came back but not 10 minutes later: All traces of the liquid were gone. It doesn't smell like antifreeze. But I know what I saw. Could it possibly be the head gasket (cracked/blown/damaged)? Could it possibly be the 'core plugs/freeze plugs/valve covers/whatever nickname they have' be to blame? (http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284552) Could it possibly be something else, somewhere else, that I've yet to discover? It's definitely an INTERNAL leak. I have visually inspected everything. Symptoms laid out: - No pressure building up (radiator cap was good last I knew!) - "White" smoke (but no odor) from the exhaust (possibly condensation from the cold morning?) - Engine misfires on occasion (possibly occurring when the liquid enters the spark plug well) - Low power/Acceleration (again: misfires?), until ~3k RPMs (DPFE sensor? EGR valve?) Any ideas on how to check for sure what the problem is, and any potential solutions? I am fixing to try a $10 solution that should theoretically work (assuming it's the head-gasket/tiny hole/valve cover screw): "Mendtite by Zecol" (a 'stop leak' type deal). Thanks. |

Diamond Jubilee: Queen in Aberfan for second day of Wales tour
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are due to begin the second of their two-day tour of Wales to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
They will travel to Aberfan, their fourth visit to the town since the landslide disaster that claimed 144 lives in October 1966.
Later, they will visit Ebbw Vale and Glanusk Park, near Crickhowell, Powys.
The tour has attracted hundreds of well-wishers, but two men were arrested in separate incidents in Merthyr.
The Queen and the duke will start the day by officially opening Ynysowen Community Primary School in Aberfan.
The visit is a sign of her continued support for the community since a coal waste tip slid down a mountain, engulfing a school and surrounding houses.
Royal highlights
Among the victims were 116 children.
Later, they will meet former steel workers and museum volunteers at a newly-refurbished works general office and archives in Ebbw Vale.
The Queen and the duke will then attend a service at the town's Christ Church and meet community groups in a reception.
Finally, the visit will be crowned with a "Diamonds in the Park" festival in Glanusk Park, featuring rural activities and sports.
More than 100 young St John volunteers will meet the Queen on her visit.
On Thursday, the Queen started the first day of the tour in Cardiff with a service of thanksgiving at Llandaff Cathedral. More than 600 people attended.
The royal couple then travelled to Margam Park, where they met Wales' Grand Slam-winning team.
They ended the day with a visit to Merthyr Tydfil's Cyfarthfa Castle and Cyfarthfa High School.
Are you taking photos of the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee visit to Wales? If so, you can send them to us using the form below and we hope to publish some.
Send your pictures and videos to email@example.com or text them to 61124 (UK) or +44 7624 800 100 (International). If you have a large file you can upload here.

M&A news and drug trial updates provided some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Monday.
Mergers and acquisitions are headed for another record year, fueled by a seemingly endless cascade of private-equity money. "I can't think of anything that's off limits," says Michael Kelly, managing director at Hamilton Lane. "There are good companies in any industry."
Analyst upgrades and earnings reports were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Wednesday.
At least three groups of private-equity buyers have formed to pursue a potential purchase of wireless carrier Alltel, according to media reports.
U.S. rural wireless telecoms service provider Alltel is being pursued by at least three groups of private-equity buyers about a potential purchase, the Wall Street Journal said on its Web site on Wednesday.
Tonight, it's all about telco on Mad Money, and Cramer thinks he's found a small wireless provider that might be offering itself up as an acquisition target.Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.
Alltel has stepped up efforts to sell itself to carriers such as AT&T, Verizon Communications and Sprint Nextel, said people familiar with the matter, as the Little Rock, Ark.-based wireless company tries to chart a new future, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The table runner :)
Oh hello lovelies!
It is such a beautiful day today and I'm in love… deeply madly crazy in love with my latest finished project… Are you ready to fall too? I'm sure you are
Let's have some close up pics …
I love love love this simple graphic square…I think it is simple but beautiful… and I love it even more because it is the fruit of my imagination… my own drawing…
and I love the whole result…the table runner in all its glory…all these bright and beautiful colors mixed together in a lovely patchwork…
I feel happy whenever I enter the sitting room
Now for the part you are all waiting for: The how to…
I crocheted this table runner with a thin cotton yarn called "Camilla 6/4″ and a 2mm crochet hook. I made it by joining as I go the squares together in a randomly use of colors…
I drew for you my friend the graphic chart of this square… It is right here:
As you noticed, the joining part was made as-I-go with round 5 (in black in the chart) and it is done where I put the arrows…(Instead of the middle chain a slip joining stitch)
Each square was done in a different color and I made a very simple edging (1sc, 4ch, 1sc) all around the whole table runner…
I am in love with it (did I already told you that?? I don't think so :D) and I think that this graphic square will be beautiful if used to make coasters, cushions or a summer blanket why not?
So, my lovely friend, I'll have to leave you now with a last pic…
and wish you a wonderful day!
P.S: I draw all my graphic charts including this one using Corel Draw (a graphic design software) as many of you keep asking me
and one last thing: Some of you asks me if I can explain some of the charts with written words and I am so sorry about that but I just can't do it sometimes… I am unable to do it It is too difficult for me as I myself cannot follow an english written pattern not yet! but one day…
Kisses to all!

It's a pretty square – and it made a lovely table runner. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
The table runner is very pretty. You are very clever as you designed the pattern yourself.
Gorgeous Angie!. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern too x
Qué puedo decir ?? Una vez más has creado algo muy lindo…….
Any -
I am so happy you do charts. I love this pattern. Thanks You. Linda
That is a lovely open square, Angie! I'm adding to my list of possible patterns for my future summer throw…oh, when will I get to it…
Joli travail, les couleurs sont magnifiques, merci de nous faire partager cet ouvrage !!!
Have a nice dayBrigitte
Thank you so much for this pattern. I really love the look of it. I am thinking I need to try this very soon.
awww…….that is so special of you! I was scrolling through the pictures and thinking "I wonder how you joined the squares" and BAM! there is was in your chart….THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love charts and almost won't even do a pattern if there isn't a chart.
The table runner is so happy! I just bought the new "Cotton-ish" yarn (~50/50 cotton/acrylic) here in the States, and it has beautiful bright colors and this runner is perfect to do with this yarn.
Very pretty, indeed! And I just LOVE it every time you show glimpses of your home. I think you have the happiest looking home ever–seriously, how could one not feel cheerful in those surroundings?!!
I absolutely love your tablerunner and the block you designed to make it! Thank you so much for posting the chart — I much prefer following a chart than reading words!! And English is my first language Thanks again!!
Such a lovely square!
Oh how beautiful, Angie! You're so talented! I love your work! I look forward to see your web sight on my computer. Makes my day! May God Bless you and your family. Hugs.
Wow! It is sooo beautiful! Nice work… I really love how you were able to take all of these very different colors and just make them work so beautifully together! And the simple white trim is perfect. Beautiful!
C'est génial! xx -
Très joli ton chemin de table ! L'association de couleurs est parfaite.
Et bravo aussi pour le superbe bouquet de fleurs. -
i love your table runner; and, as always, your colors are so pretty.
I like working a pattern from a chart, mostly if it's a doily or bed spread type pattern.
Thank you for sharing your patterns and all the pictures of the work you do.
Lisa in Alabama, USA -
I love the table runner and the square you designed. I now want to make one for my dining room table. The cotton yarn you used is not very thick is it?
I check in your site often. I really enjoy seeing what you are working on. You are very creative.
[...] you are interested, I've followed a fantastic pattern which I found in Le Monde de Sucrette again. As you can see, if you keep going making squares, you could make a table-runner out of them. [...]
Maybe someone who knows how to read charts would volunteer to translate the chart into written pattern. It should would help me as I don't know how to read a chart. Anyone interested?
I am so thankful for your blog. The other day I just had to do something other than studying or writing papers. So I chose some yarn from my stash and started crocheting. No pattern, just going for it. Well the corners are not working out, the sides are warping…I got frustrated. Today I got you new post in my email and it reminded me of the runner you made : ). The pattern is already printed and I am looking forward to creating a wonderful runner without encountering more difficulties, all thanks to you sharing your patterns!! : ))
Bonjour ,toujours joli et coloré ,bonne journée.
c' est très coloré avec toutes ces couleurs j' aime beaucoup tu fais des merveilles !!je suis moi aussi dans les grannys pour faire une jupe voir blog, je te souhaite une bonne journée
Just found your blog.. Thank you.
I love this pattern, Angie! It is simple yet elegant.
Sadly, I do not know how to "read" diagram style patterns. I hope some day you, or one of your followers, will be able to post a written pattern for this beautiful motif. I am a beginner to the crochet craft and having a hard enough time learning to read written patterns. I don't know how one learns to interpret the diagram patterns? Where to start? It's all Greek to me! This is such a lovely motif/square and I do hope some day I will be able to make it myself. -
I love this , I wish I knew how to read patterns.

10 Things Only Exceptional Bosses Give Employees. Leadership. Credibility-book.com. The Core Beliefs of the Delightfully Successful. Leading in Chaos – Six Essentials to Stay Focused & Enable Success. Can you imagine anything more disconcerting than driving at 100 mph in a thick fog – with the radio blaring, cell phone ringing, and the kids in the back seat asking, "Are we there yet?"
Yet, isn't that what it is like operating in business today? The fog is thick, the pace is rapid, and the distractions are constant. Where can business leaders find solutions to be able to navigate through this chaos and produce results in this very uncomfortable environment? Perhaps our military leaders can offer some ideas. Complexity is Here and it's Time to Get on Board. Efficiency is the bugbear of modern organizations.
Our culture—particularly our business culture is steeped in industrial-age metaphors of assembly lines, and economies of scale. We are continually looking for how to do things faster and cheaper, with the assumption that what follows is a better—read "more profitable"—organization. We work hard to simplify and hone our human systems to a machine-like efficiency, so we can be the envy of neighbors and the crusher of competition. In the industrial age the focus on eking every last bit of productivity from humans usually had a heartbreaking cost to the people doing the work—but was beneficial to the bottom line.

I went down the hall to the small kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee. Ken Thomson was there, making himself some instant soup. At the time, he was the ninth-richest man in the world, worth approximately $19.6 billion. Enough, certainly, to afford a nice lunch. I looked at the soup he was stirring. Six behaviors that could come back to bite you.
As project managers we want our team members to have a commitment to deadlines, be optimistic about their work, stay focused on the goal, have a competitive mindset, stick to the budget, and please clients and management don't we?
And yet, these 6 behaviors, which most of us would readily agree are important, can precede a scandal, cause morale problems, and sink projects. In an interesting blog post David Gelber, author of The 3 Power Values provides some pertinent examples of disastrous business results from being obsessive about these behaviors. They intrigued me so I decided to write about them in a project management context. See what you think. Changing Your Culture by Bringing Humanity to the Workplace. Managers, from the senior level down to the front line leaders, often have the misconception that to manage effectively, neither they nor their employees can actually show their human side at work.
These managers believe that to allow personality, humor and humility gives away too much of their power, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe back in the command and control era of management, when employees clocked in and clocked out and were expected to repeatedly perform routine tasks, this type of emotionless management style may have worked. But the workplace is different now. Why Leadership Means Listening. Today's employees want to be asked for feedback and they want to be heard.

Good Managers Lead Through a Team - Linda Hill & Kent Lineback.

Photo: Rotor
Photo: Eric Mairiaux at I Love Belgium
I believe that only one country, and perhaps only one exhibitor, truly caught the spirit of Kazuyo Sejima's 12th International Architecture Biennale in Venice this year. It was Belgium, which gave its pavilion in the Giardini (Exhibition Gardens) over to the group Rotor, a collective of architects, artists, philosophers, and anthropologists who left most of the spaces bare, except for sections of walls, floors, stairs, elevator cabins, windows, and other fragments of buildings. The pieces hang on white walls, looking like pieces of the most minimalist sculpture you can imagine. They have no frames, and their shapes are composites of rectangles, squares, and elongations of those basic shapes. They evoke buildings so banal that you would never notice either them, or the use to which they have been put. The scuff marks, fading, and mottling turns what could be plain planes into intricate landscapes.Rotor is not just out for beauty. As the group explains in the catalog that accompanies the exhibition:Since 2005, we at Rotor have undertaken over 200 visits to companies to find out how goods are produced, the ensuing material consequences, and what possibilities exists for reusing the resultant waste. In 2008, we extended our research to the building sector. We then conducted a study to evaluate the viability of a resale network for construction and demolition waste.They admit that their interests were not altogether ecological:Like any product, they also elicit an aesthetic evaluation and, indeed, an emotional one. Traces of wear play a crucial role in this. They frequently evoke a sense of repulsion from potential buyers, but occasionally evoke attraction and even fascination.The group eventually concluded that wear, especially in the case of human-made materials, reveals what lies beneath the finish. That is because they focused especially on the kinds of materials human beings began inventing during the industrial revolution, and which exploded in kind and use after World War II: linoleum and stone aggregates, aluminum, and different forms of plywood.These were the components of a new utopia, but here the illusion of something perfect, absolutely functional and without any natural properties gives way as the particular combinations of chemicals out of which we create our linoleum and our aggregates interact with our shoes, the oil on our hands, the pressure of our body. Here lies the core of the exhibit's beauty: It marks our quest for the perfection of artifice that produces things that enter into daily life and thus become part of our much more messy reality.

I think the exhibit hit a nerve in me because it was this issue that the Biennale brought into question for me: What is the reality of what we as human makes, what is its nature outside of nature, how does it become empty of all those associations that make us real, and by that very same process become a reminder of what we are as real, natural human beings?
This is, perhaps, a broad philosophical point, and most people will only experience the delicacy of what was, in the best exhibits at the Biennale as well as in Sejima's own work, almost not there. In the Belgian pavilion, however, the essence of artifice was on display. What's more, it was not subject to interminable explanations pointing to something that was not there, such as this little screed and the catalog. It was an exhibition proper, something that evoked large economic, ecological, and social questions you could pursue in printed form, but only after the exhibition had gotten you to open you eyes and see what you would normally ignore as you walked along, ignorant of the poignancy and pregnancy of wear and tear.
You're absolutely right : it's a stunning experience ! And, what's even more -to my 1950+ generation- it's a collective work. I hope the artists (yes they are !) involved will be able to go on collectively, as well as individually. (Of course, I am a Belgian, but, welle, it's a pleasure to be proud of it, once in a while...)

Ronaldo: Rooney will recover
21 Jun 2010 - 07:24:36
Cristiano Ronaldo has backed former team-mate Wayne Rooney to silence his World Cup critics.
Rooney has come under fire after two lacklustre displays in a struggling England side which needs to win their final Group C game against Slovenia on Wednesday to reach the last 16.
The Manchester United striker has drawn blanks against the United States and Algeria before earning the wrath of English fans and media following his sarcastic comments about booing supporters following the goalless draw against the North Africans on Friday.
However, Ronaldo firmly believes that Rooney - a player he spent five years with Old Trafford - will bounce back and silence his critics.
"Wayne Rooney tried very hard, he's always like that, but he didn't play alone," explained the Portugal captain.
"So it's difficult, when it's not coming, when you don't score a goal or play well, it is always the big players' fault.
"Wayne is a great player and will do a good job. He'll try very hard to do a good job."

"plenty of sobering reasons not to" Well, that makes all the difference, doesn't it? Personally, I don't believe they are looking for a personal "up" side, other than to not have their lives destroyed by the same people that allowed F&F to happen. I also believe that if given protection from those people, they would come forward. But, who can protect anyone from this administration without destroying the lives of the whistleblowers to give them the protection needed? Now, I could be wrong.
Insert witty comment here...... Veritas Aequitas Vincit Omnia Veritas Vincere est Vivere
Cowards - sometimes in life you just have to do the right thing ... no mater what!
Member: NRA GOA ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Est sularas oth mithas "either way, you were guilty by association, so you were smited...." JD
By all means, Fast & Furious should be investigated. But what should also be investigated are the thug threats against businesses and individuals by the ATF and DOJ who have information they're scared to share. Yes, doing the right thing is important. At the end of the day, though, if I have a business which my family and I depend on and I know it will be shut down if I "do the right thing" I'm probably going to be a lot less inclined to open my mouth.
Fast & Furious began under the Bush administration, which is why the Republicans are giving it the short shrift. The only way anything will get done is if local law enforcement does it. You guys need to realize that niether Political party gives a damn about the Constitution, and there is virtualy no difference in any of their policies only in there timing. This is why the Teaparty revolt is so critical, its an attempt to "republicanise" the republican party.
I've often wondered if Ramos and Campione stumbled across F&F and that's why they were railroaded. We'll never know because the terms of their commutations require them to keep there mouth shut. As far as more "details" on F&F,you might try infowars.com
In Katie Pavlich's book, Fast and Furious, she shows just how little protection the whistleblowers got concerning this case. And she shows how those responsible for this atrocity weren't punished but rewarded by promotions. Several ATF agents have basically had their careers ruined by their (promoted) superiors and nothing has been done to correct that situation. It's time for everyone to contact their elected officials and let them know that these people responsible for this failed project, which has resulted in the deaths of two U.S. agents, have to be brought to justice. I would have thought that Ms. Pavlich's book would have galvanized investigations and brought more public outcry against this ineptly run program but it seems that is not the case. Unless and until MORE public outcry occurs, this whole mess could end up being flushed down the toilet. There are too many high-ranking officials, up to and including Holder and Napolitano, that were involved but are lying about that involvement.

Pony POV Series
Dark World Drabbles
Poison Apple
By Kendell2
Howdy. Ah suppose that yah want tah kno-
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Tell 'em yer name, sis!)
Apple Pie, yah KNOW mah name. We're twin sisters!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Yeah, but Rainbow says Ah need tah make sure tah get the name of who Ah'm interviewin'!)
Oh, right. Mah name is Poison Apple, your-
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Can yah please not address me like that? They won't know who Ah am.)
No offense, sis, but yah saved the universe, Ah doubt they won't know who yah are.
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Ah'm just following' orders)
Alright then…Ah'm Poison Apple, Apple Pie's identical twin sister. Ah know what yah are probably thinking': am Ah jealous of mah sis for bein' the savior of the world? No, not at all. Ah never wanted tah save the world, Ah just wanted tah read and learn.
Ah admit, at first it was just mah release. Work was a good distraction from the whole 'evil overlord rulin' the world' thin' and Ah like it as well as the next Apple Pie, but when work was done for the day? Or a knife storm forced us tah barricade inside? If there was one thing that meh and Apple Pie could always agree on was how boring that could be. Apple Pie found superhero comics tah be her thing, but as for meh? Ah just couldn't get inta 'em. They were fun, but they seemed too short tah hold mah attention.
Mah first book was in this box with a bunch of other stuff like old photos Ah'd found while diggin'. Ah never found out why somepony buried it. But it had an old farming manual in it. Yeah, Ah know how boring it sounds, but Ah liked it, even if Ah had tah ask Guru Fido what a ton of words meant. And even if it was for plant farmin', it still helped out a bit on the farm, like showin' meh that everythin' needed the right conditions tah grow. And Ah liked it. For the first time in mah life, Ah started tah really understand how somethin' worked! Ah guessed books bein' able tah do that is why Big Banana Discord had all the Pre-Chaos Era literature he could find destroyed (yeah, Ah know now he was doin' it tah try and avoid bein' beaten like he had before. Ah died yah know). And Ah wanted tah keep understandin' things.
Ah started lookin' for any books Ah could get mah hooves on, including' learnin' alchemy. That really came in handy in dealin' with the monsters that attack the farm all the time. A good old stinkbomb will send a lot of 'em runnin' for the hills, or at least distract 'em long enough for Banana tah shoot it with her bazooka.
It's actually how Ah earned mah Cutie Mark. A bunch of giant, rock eatin' rats started eatin' our crops (Ah always thought there were an oddly big number of rock-eatin' monsters…) They weren't big enough and too fast tah blow up easy. Ah snuck off tah that old rundown library in Ponyville (thinkin' of becoming' a 'librarian' for it once it gets rebuilt, Aunt Abigail said it'd be a good idea) and found a book on poisons. Ah knew there were a lot of books there, but well, it was Ponyville, Discord's 'Chaos Capital of the World' and where…where F-Fluttercruel liked hauntin' for her 'toys' t-there…t-thanks for the hug, sis…
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): J )
But Ah managed tah make off with a lot of books, including' the book on poisons. Ah mixed it up and set a trap. It worked, no more rats! We couldn't eat 'em afterwards, but they were eatin' up our crops any more! And it earned meh mah Cutie Mark! Mah Cutie Mark ain't exactly just poisons, it's for alchemy in general. Really comes in handy in makin' rocks inta other things that are worth more for the family. Really helps everypony and Ah'm proud of it.
So Ah went on, helpin' the family however Ah could. But…but t-then…look, Ah accepted mah death, Ah got inta Heaven but…P-Please don't…
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Yah don't have tah if yah don't wanna, sis.)
Thanks…after…t-that. Ah just couldn't pass on…When Mr. Mortis came for meh…Ah couldn't bare the thought mah family might suffer like Ah had…At least without a friendly face there tah greet 'em when the sufferin' ended. And Ah hadn't even gotten the chance tah say goodbye tah Apple Pie or anypony else when Fluttercruel grabbed meh. So mah spirit hung around…until Miss Rarity needed help. We all came tah help her. Some of 'em wanted payback…Ah just wanted tah protect the Apple Pie clan, tah make sure she'd never hurt anypony Ah cared about ever again.
Sis…Ah'm sorry Ah didn't stick around tah help fight Fluttercruel again…Ah…Ah thought she was dead for good…
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): It's alright sis. We beat her, it's no problem.)
Thanks…After Ah finally passed on…Ah met the Father of Alicorns and went into Pony Heaven. What was it like?…There ain't no describing it. Mah family was there, and Ah had every book Ah could ever want, but that was just the tip of the iceberg! It's Heaven, it's kinda hard tah describe if yah hadn't been there! And…well, there was one thing…
"Hello little filly with a desire to learn, I hear for knowledge of alchemy you do yearn."
Ah turned tah see a Virgacorn, only minus the 'corn' part.
"Wow! Yer a…what do yah call it? Half a Virgacorn?"
She just gave a chuckle. "A Zebra is my species' name, but you can call me Zecora all the same."
"Wow! Ah ain't never seen a Zebra before! How's bein' a Zebra different than bein' a Virgacorn?!" Ah asked about half a dozen questions, but she answered 'em all. She seemed tah like answerin' 'em, kinda like Guru Fido did first time Ah met 'em. Then Ah remembered she'd done asked meh a question first.
"Yeah…Ah do like alchemy, it's mah special talent. Just…well, Ah'm kinda dead and all…" Ah didn't really know exactly what good learnin' more alchemy after Ah died would do.
She put a hoof on my shoulder. "Little one, into paradise you have entered in, if you love to learn then by all means begin."
And Miss Zecora taught me. And boy did she know a lot! Then again, she did call herself an alchemist, so I guess Ah shoulda seen that comin'! Ah think if Big Boss Discord hadn't taken over the world she probably woulda been writin' books Ah'd be reading'! And Heaven bein' Heaven, Ah had all the supplies Ah could ever need tah learn it all!
"Wow! How did yah know that plant would do that?!" Ah asked, after she made one of Discord's Fire Flowers inta a potion that'd get rid of a cold. "That flower wasn't around when yah were alive!"
Zecora gave me a smile. "There is a simple answer to that question there, but of that fact how were you aware?"
Ah blinked. "Well…it weren't in any of the farmin' or alchemy books Ah found from back then…"
"And that is part of the answer my friend, when it comes to alchemy there is no end. The focus of alchemy is all about change, whether it is potion making or curing mange. It is all about creating new things from the old, to think that does not include you is much too bold. A good alchemist must change like the ingredients that they command, or else they become stagnate where they stand."
"Oh…so a good alchemist needs tah change too?
Zecora nodded. "Not just alchemists, my student, for all those who desire to learn this information is prudent. If you want to know how the world works, don't overlook a truth that always lurks. The world will always change and grow, and so there will away be more that you will need to know."
"So…Big Top Hat Discord was right when he said things stayin' the same is borin'?
"If he was doing his proper job then that is how it seems, but staying completely the same and too much change are both extremes. But at its basic definition, it is not fiction."
Ah hadn't thought about it before. Ah'd wanted tah learn, but Ah never thought about how Ah needed tah figure things out for myself as things changed. That learnin' was more than just reading' a book or listenin' tah a teacher. And yah know what? It actually made it more fun! The idea of discoverin' something new? That was excitin'!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Hehe…)
What's so funny sis?
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Yah were already doin' that sis!)
What do yah mean?
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Yah wanted tah find out stuff no pony had known for a thousand years, right? And yah figured out how tah use it! Don't that count?)
…Hehe, yeah, Ah guess yer right…Guess yah learn somethin' new all the time.
She also introduced me tah a friend she'd met in Heaven.
"Hello, little pony, Zecora tells me that you like to learn, I'm not an alchemist, but I am a teacher," said a purple Earth Pony with glasses and a grey mane. Her cutie mark was a chalk board with 1+2 on it. And yeah, now Ah know it equals three and not fish.
Her name was Ms Hackney, she was real nice and taught me a LOT about all kinds of stuff, like math and chemistry. That actually went pretty well with alchemy! And apparently some of it had been lost for a LONG time! Turns out Ms. Hackney had been around since even before Discord ruled the world the first time! And a lot of the stuff ponies in her day was lost! Ah was learnin' stuff that even Miss Twilight probably doesn't know!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Wow…)
Ah know! And she was a real nice teacher too…
"Two plus two equals…I'm afraid I don't even know what this is, my little pony…"
"It's a robot moth…"
"I'm sorry dear but that isn't correct."
"It's hard tah tell what is…Discord didn't exactly leave many teachers left…"
Ms Hackney just gave a small smile. "That's alright, dear, you can't blame a pony who hasn't had the opportunity to learn. Shall we start from scratch then?"
And now Ah actually know math! Two plus two equals four!
Anyway, time is a bit crazy in Heaven, so we had plenty of time tah learn till the final fight started down on the planet. Yeah, Ah watched, yah think Bomb Pie was the only one seein' it? Our kin was fightin' for the universe!…Ah noticed Zecora seemed real concerned about all of 'em, but Miss Twilight in particular.
"Miss Zecora, yah worried bout Twilight?" Ah asked.
Zecora gave a nod. "Yes, Poison Apple, I am concerned, and not just fear of seeing the world burn. Twilight and her friends were close to me, until we became what Discord wanted us to be. To see her fall to darkness once was hard to bare, to see it again I do not care."
"…But yah are still watching."
Zecora gave a smile. "I have been Twilight's teacher from when we first met, for her I have the most respect. I have watched over her for more than one life, I will not abandon her in this strife."
Ah gave a blink. "Uh…what?"
"I am aware my view on reincarnation is not true, there is a reason I feel as I do. There was a previous world that never was, but that world's influence persevered, as it always does. There was a pony named Kimono in that world before it's end, and even if she's never been, when our world had its start, in me her existence did impart. And the world that never was had its own beginning, and it was with a dream of suffering ending. Ponies attempted to make a spell to change the world, but the did not know the change that would unfurl.
"One of those ponies was a teacher you know well, and she was who Kimono was before in dreams did the world dwell. Twilight was once ponies in these worlds as well, and in my previous selves' classes she did dwell."
Ah blinked, looking over as Ms. Hickney just gave a knowing smile.
Ah wasn't really sure what tah say tah that. It weren't the weirdest thing Ah'd ever heard (lived in Discord's world after all), but the idea of bein' somepony's friend in every last one of their lives was still kinda amazin'. And it turned out Ah kinda was too! Ah was learnin' from who Zecora was and who she used tah be! That was so cool!
She looked so happy when Twilight called all those ponies from the across time together. She even pointed out Minty and Clover, the ponies Twilight used tah be. Ms. Hackney told meh who all Clover's friends were too. And boy was Ah happy tah see mah family beat that nasty old Nightmare Eclipse! We both celebrated together! Pinkie Pie even threw a 'the universe is saved' party! Yeah, it was heaven so she didn't need to, but turns out Pinkie is really good at parties, and there was another pony named Surprise who'd been here for a REAL long time who said she was Pinkie's ancestor who liked tah party too! It was a BIG party!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Ah think Surprise showed up when Halflight did that spell that took down Eclipse…wait, if she's Pinkie's ancestor, and Pinkie's our aunt, don't that mean Surprise is our ancestor too?)
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Why did yah just face hoof?)
Cause Ah coulda learned a lot about our family if Ah'd known that!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Well, yah will meet her again someday, and we still got Aunt Applejack too!)
Yeah, true…Ah guess Ah could ask her about it.
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Can yah keep goin'? Sorry, Ah need tah get the whole story.)
Oh, okay…It was a fun party, a lotta ponies showed up too, and Zecora seemed glad tah have Pinkie there with her…But after Miss Rarity turned into Queen Libra and offered us all a chance tah come back tah life. And Ah jumped to it! Why wouldn't Ah? The entire reason Ah hung around as a ghost was cause Ah wanted tah see mah family again! But…
"I'm sorry, Poison Apple my friend dear, but we must part was for now my dear."
"The same goes for me I'm afraid."
"What?" Ah asked. "But…why?"
"Only those who died of causes unnatural may return, and my full candle has already burned," Zecora said, though she didn't sound too upset.
Ms. Hackney nodded. "And I haven't been alive for over five thousand years, dear, so the offer isn't extended to me I'm afraid."
Zecora put her hoof on my shoulder. "Poison Apple, listen to these words my friend, friendships will never ever end. If you do not believe my words are true, how Twilight's dark side lost should prove it to you. We will only part ways for now, but we will meet again, this I vow."
Ms. Hackney nodded. "And if you're a good little pony, you'll be back here again some day, that's how Heaven works after all."
"A-Alright Ah…Ah guess…Ah'll miss you…"
"Parting ways with a friend is no easy thing to do, but believe what I say is true. Until we meet once more, I will watch over my students as I have always have before."
Ms. Hackney nodded, giving a smile as she stood next to Zecora. Seeing them side by side…Ah could tell how they were different version of the same pony, but they weren't the same…and Ah think it was better that way.
"And this way, you can put what you've learned to good use. It's your turn to be a teacher, Poison Apple, if that's what you want to do. And I wish you all the luck in the world."
Ah hadn't really thought about that, Ah mean Ah wanted tah use what Ah knew, Ah really did. But teachin' others? It hadn't crossed mah mind. But…thinkin' hard about it…it made sense, it really did. After all, the Hippogriffs have a sayin': give a Hippogriff a fish, feed 'em for a day, teach 'em tah fish, feed 'em for a life time. Ah could help others with what ah'd learned a lot more if they knew tah do it too.
So we hugged, Ah hugged Aunt Pinkie, and got ready tah follow Mortis back tah the world of the livin'…
"Hey! Wait for me youngin'!"
Granny Smith (yeah, Ah know her name is Apple Smith, but she's still mah Father knows how many times great grandma) was a little late, apparently she'd been sayin' goodbye tah each and every member of the clan we'd be leavin' in Heaven before we left. Hehe, Apple Pies had tah get out family loyalty somewhere.
So yah know the rest, Ah came back tah life, reunited with mah family, got kidnapped by Grogar when he showed up but…well, Ah guess Ah did figure out how tah make an acid and melt through the bars to get meh and the rest of the foals he kidnapped out while Mrs. Derpy freed us. Don't know much more tah say than that…
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Why not tell 'em what yah are doin' now?)
Oh! Well, like Ah said Ah want tah be a librarian for Ponyville's library once its up and runnin' again…But Ah also want tah start learnin' more and more. Queen Libra may have undone a lot of Discord's damage, but she didn't get rid of everythin' he did, the world's still got a lot of new stuff nopony bothered learnin' while he was around and survivin' was the priority. Ah want tah learn as much as Ah can. And Ah want tah teach too. Ms. Hackney and Zecora taught meh a lot of stuff even ponies from a thousand years ago don't know! And Ah know it'd put a smile on their muzzles if Ah taught everypony again!
Sorry, gotta add somethin' real quick that just happened.
"Granny Smith, what are yah lookin' for?" Ah asked, findin' Granny Smith diggin' in the backyard.
"Oh! Hi younin', sorry just lookin' for something' Ah buried here a long time ago," she explained, scratching her head. "Ah thought bein' young again would help my memory."
"What is it yah are looking for?"
"Oh just a box Ah put a farmin' manual and a bunch of family mementos in before Ah died. Ah guess enough of meh hung around in the fog that sidewinder put meh in tah want tah preserve a little family history. Just cause the world was goin' tah Tartarus didn't mean Ah could let what we learned bout farmin' disappear. This farm was mah life, Ah was here since the farm started, Ah didn't want tah just let it what Ah learned go tah waste."
Ah blinked, then gave a smile. "Well it didn't!"
"Ah don't quite follow, Poison, what do yah mean?"
"Ah found your box! Ah've been usin' it tah help the farm!"
So Ah showed her the box and she gave me a hug. "Thank yah, Poison. It does mah heart good tah know that Ah did one of mah kin good."
"Yer welcome, Granny Smith…" Ah said, then looked down at the box. "…Granny, mind teachin' me about what else is in here? Ah was never really able tah figure it out except the book."
Granny gave meh a smile like Grandpa Rock Pie would when he got tah tell us a story of his. "Ah'd love tah, but how bout yah go get the clan together and yah can all learn a little family history?"
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): What happened then?)
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Now?)
Yeah, Ah came tah get yah like she told meh!
(Interviewer's Notes (Apple Pie): Oh! Hehe, alright, let's go sis!)

for the Mountain Hardwear Men's Piero Pant
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 10 reviews)
Viewing All
Ended with 2 pairs! Am 5'7",31" inseam, and a 29/30" waist. Size S Reg rocks! Don't have to hike up the legs to squat down--they just stretch and fit. I can go through briars, slide down rocks, with no issues. I have two crazy dogs that run through trails, rolling in mud, water, and probably dead stuff. Then they kindly put that all over my legs too. Yet once it dries, it all just brushes or falls off. Amazing. They do well in a drizzle, but not a deluge. The waist stays flat and comfortable, even with a belt. The side zipper side pocket kicks butt hanging onto small valuables like a pocket knife, debit card, or pet rock. A bit warm past 75F on a hike; thick, heavy-ish but durable.
Whenever the temps are low and I need a pair of pants that do not restrict movement, I take the Pieros with me. I sport climb, boulder, ride mountain bikes and even wear these as casual pants for a night on the town! These pants also kept me warm during December while at Hueco Tanks over in El Paso, TX. If you are looking for colder weather climbing pants The Piero is the best choice!
Just bought myself another pair (different colour) as my grey ones have been fantastic for the last 18 months. Great stretch, take an absolute beating, clean so easily - you can really use them for any activity and they also just look cool as a casual pant. True to stated size in my opinion. If your size is left - you should buy them now.
Ok, I haven't tore these pants up yet, and thats an impressive fact! I do a lot of caving, and have ripped up a lot of pants and jeans. I can say I truly love these pants. They fit so comfortably and look great. I hike through brush and briers, climb, crawl, drag myself across rocks while caving, as well as through mud. At the end of the day they look rough, but one wash and they look brand new! So, basically these pants are indestructible, and fashionable ;)!! They fit true to size, and for me (5' 11") I love the length of the regulars. I haven't kayaked yet in these, but id imagine they'd be good for that too! These are a must buy pant, wether you need them or not buy them!
These are by far the best pants you will ever purchase. I am a 32x32 and the fit was true and great (I have had trouble with mountain hardware pants fitting right). The material is soft and stretchy and the extra crotch material makes these pants have awesome mobility!I was surprised how warm these pants were, I was thinking they would be like wearing a pair of jeans, but I felt like i was overheating when it was about 68 degrees outside...not a bad thing, just warmer than i expected.The only thing that I don't like about them is they have a quiet swish to them...nothing annoying, but not completely quiet.Thanks moosejaw!
These are awesome! The Piero can take a whip on granite, slide down slab, and boulder in Bishop. They just don't rip! The gusseted crotch is roomy enough for whatever kind of move you're pulling off. They are even stylish enough to take them out for the night (even if your gf might not approve). But they are not fireproof. In JTree last year, a single random ember touched the pant leg near the cuff and melted a hole in them! I was devastated, but patched it up quickly with some gorilla tape. I've even taken them to Laos. Nothing else compares!
The Mt Hardwear Piero pants have quickly become my favorite cragging pants bar none. The articulated knees and gusseted crotch allow plenty of freedom of movement during climbing sessions outdoors, at our local climbing gym as well as at yoga class. Tough nylon fabric helps keep wall rash to a minimum. Plenty of pockets to stow stuff. Chalk bag loop is a bit dubious but no big deal.
Nice pants. Nylon, but stretchy. The waist and pockets are VERY soft. The front two belt loops, instead of going straight down, they angle in a little, making me look just a little thinner. I'm sure my tush looks great, too. I bought two pairs, and they both fit exactly the same, so they are built with consistency. The seam across the thigh looks cool, but makes the pants a little less comfortable than they could be.
Sleek design. Love these pants. Have them in both colors. They have several useful pockets built inside of the pants so nothing is hanging off like typical cargo pants. They are warm so more of a fall winter pant. Great for climbing and adventuring, but look so good you could go from the crag to the club with a mild dust off. Have I mentioned I love these pants.
These pantaloons do everything. They are made from burly material, and stretch like sweat pants. They are perfect for climbing, hiking, canoeing, french kissing, and generally making my butt look fabulous. They are pricey, but worth every penny. Lots of pockets, but not too big or obvious that they make you look like a human swiss army knife. I've only had them a few weeks, but I've been wearing them every day, and they seem to be holding up nicely, and the fabric seems bomber. Also the DWR is great! Makes spilling beer on yourself at the bar much less embarassing.
You probably would have looked amazing with it too.

What do you want in a spouse? Genetic similarity may help
Published on May 20, 2014 6:33 AM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - He leaves the toilet seat up, prefers old Japanese monster movies to romantic comedies and fancies mixed martial arts over ballet. So what do you have in common with your husband?
More than you may think.
People tend to choose spouses who have similar DNA, according to scientists who reported on Monday, May 19, 2014, the results of a study exploring the genetic resemblance of married couples.
The researchers examined the genetic blueprints of 825 US married couples and found a significant preference for a spouse with DNA similarities across the entire human genome.

1. Be sure you have installed latest KDE of your distro
(state: 9th January 2013... >/= KDE SC 4.8.0 (older versions not tested by me))
Note: after installing a new main version of KDE you must recompile BE::Shell
you do all on your own risk!!!
2. Be sure you are willing to learn new things and read the wiki!
3. Install dependencies and what else we need (if not already done):
- git
- build-essential
- cmake
on Debian or Debian based distributions (Ubuntu, etc)
- libxcomposite-dev
(If you previously installed Bespin should already be present)
- libxrender-dev
- libxext-dev
- libqt4-dev
- libx11-dev
- kde-workspace-dev
- kdebase-workspace-dev
- kdelibs5-dev
4. Okay, now we do what the wiki taught us:
4.1 Load the source code opening a terminal and type: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/be-shell/code be-shell-code
4.2 cd be-shell-code
4.3 ./configure
4.4 cd build
4.5 make
4.6 sudo make install
5. Run kcmshell4 kded in a terminal - that will bring up the kded manager.
Disable the "Status Notifier Manager" to get (legacy) systray icons from KDE applications.
6. Replace Plasma by copying be.shell.desktop and plasma-desktop.desktop (and optional krunner.desktop)
to ~/.kde/share/autostart/ (in some distros .kde4)
NOT to ~/.kde/autostart/ or ~/.config/autostart
Note: if you would now restart or relogin you would see... nothing (a blank screen)
It is very important to install a configuration and -recommendable- a matching theme first.
7. install a theme AND a config file:
you can use one from examples folder in be-shell-code
Note: you need a theme AND a configuration file (be.shell) -> "Copy the desired example MINUS THE SUFFIX to the local kde config dir, eg."
7.1 copy be.shell.win2000 to ~/.kde/share/config/ and delete the suffix (.win2000)
7.2 copy the matching theme (windows) from themes folder to ~/.kde/share/apps/be.shell/Themes
Note: in some distros the hidden folder .kde is .kde4
If you dislike win2000 look you can also download themes from our gallery...
Note: if you change a theme it is usually necessary to change the appropriate config file (be.shell)
8. logout and relogin or restart your system
9. for theming and configuring your BE::Shell read the wiki: sourceforge.net/p/be-shell/wik…
+++ any improvements and feedback is very welcome +++

Why Travelers Flock to Airports In Small Cities
Lower fares, less congestion boost traffic at minor airfields
Corporate lawyer Sig Roos works in Boston. But he seldom flies from nearby Logan International Airport.
Instead, Mr. Roos drives an extra 15 minutes or more to Rhode Island's T. F. Green Airport, taking the interstate south to Providence, rather than fighting Beantown's snarled traffic. Parking at Green is closer and cheaper than at Logan. But the big incentive is lower airfares.
On a recent trip to Denver, the least-expensive round-trip ticket Roos and his wife could get out of Logan would have cost $700. The same ticket out of Green was just under $400.
"We always check the prices of flying out of Boston and Providence," says Roos, who flies about once a month.
The Rooses are part of the growing legion of frequent fliers who are forsaking congested, big-city airports for the benefits of smaller airports - often located in the outskirts of urban areas.
This dramatic shift in American travel habits can be seen by the sharp rise in traffic at a number of smaller airfields - including Burbank near Los Angeles; Oakland; Chicago's Midway; Milwaukee's Mitchell Field; Baltimore-Washington and Dulles near Washington, D.C.; Colorado Springs; and Providence.
Experts attribute the shift in air travel patterns to two factors: Low-cost carriers moving into these airports because they are less congested, allowing them to land and take off again in a short period of time; and, suburbanites who find it more convenient to go to an airport near them or to take a route that offers less traffic.
"We are seeing a lot of reverse leakage - leakage away to an airport where you have a low-fare service," says Michael Boyd, president of the Denver-based Aviation Systems Research Corp., which forecasts traffic patterns for 127 airports. "It is typically defined by one - Southwest Airlines. But other airports are seeing strong growth because of demographic movement as well as airline service."
Terry and Karen Coolidge who live in the greater Los Angeles area, for example, choose to fly out of Burbank Airport rather than Los Angeles International.
"It's a lot easier to get in and out of. It's a 20-minute drive to Burbank, and it's 45 minutes to Los Angeles, where you have to drive through bad areas," says Mrs. Coolidge.
MAJOR carriers at larger airports aren't ignoring what has been dubbed the "Southwest Effect." They often drop fare prices to keep from losing passengers to the discount carriers.

In an unpublicized maneuver prior to the federal court ruling that created Dade's new voting districts, Gersten managed to alter the proposed boundaries of District 5, according to sources familiar with the process. Gersten bargained for and got a change that added to District 5 two key precincts in Overtown, from neighboring District 3. Together those precincts represent about 2000 black voters.
Gersten is hopeful of attracting black voters in a close race. Because of past patterns of discrimination, according to some political insiders, black voters would be less trusting of the media and the claims of prosecutors that Gerstan may have violated the law.
If that seems coldly calculating, it would be in keeping with Gersten's determination to vindicate himself at the polls. And it is no more calculating than the essential effort of modern politics: raising money.
Gersten has been working hard at that. His campaign chest is more than three times larger than any other candidate in District 5; as of February 26, he reported he had raised $251,000. Challenger Conchy Bretos is a distant second to Gersten, with a reported $81,000, $30,600 of which was a personal loan to her own campaign.
A significant portion of Gersten's money A more than 36 percent A has come from businesses and individuals outside Dade County, including major contributions from Wall Street bankers and bond dealers, among them the county's long-time financial advisor, W.R. Lazard & Co. Other contributors include American Airlines (which recently won approval from the commission for a major expansion at Miami International Airport) and members of the Latin Builders' Association. For example, LBA president Sergio Pino and his family have donated more than $3000. In addition, John J. Brunetti, owner of Hialeah racetrack, and his family have contributed at least $5000.
In announcing his intention to run in District 5, Gersten noted that he was born in Miami Beach, so he felt he knew the people and they knew him. But of the 369 individuals who contributed to his campaign between October and the end of February, only five listed a Miami Beach address.
With a bankroll in place, Gersten sought to put together his old team of political consultants, including Phil Hamersmith. But this time Hamersmith said no. He is managing Conchy Bretos's bid to unseat Gersten. "He did not listen to me," Hamersmith says of his advice that Gersten return quickly from Europe last spring in order to address the crack-and-hooker allegations. "He ruined his own career. He didn't have to be so arrogant and evasive and mystical and all of that crap. But that's Joey."
Even Gersten's most ardent supporters are equivocal about his chances of winning. "I consider Joe Gersten to be a good friend of mine," says lobbyist Stuart Rose. "I think he's been a good commissioner for this community. If you look past all the garbage, you will see a record of dedication to the community, and I believe he deserves to be and I think there is a strong possibility he will be re-elected."
During a recent commission meeting, Gersten may have inadvertently explained his reasons for seeking office amid such personal controversy. To provide what he described as inspiration for his fellow commissioners, he launched into a soliloquy from Act Two of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "Cowards die many times before their death; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, that neccessary end, will come when it will come."
As he finished he smiled, thrust his arms into the air, and awaited the reaction from those in attendance. What he got was a smattering of applause, a few chuckles, and the dumbfounded stares of his colleagues, who were hungry and ready for lunch.

Wine and cheese pairings are customary, but what about cheese and coffee? Cavern splits its disciplines to become a fine cheese retailer, café and wine bar with its fluid space and trendy 104th Street location. Owner Tricia Bell brought her industry experience into the eatery's philosophy, making high-quality products monetarily accessible. If you have yet to experiment with coffee and cheese, Bell recommends an espresso with Brie de Meaux, a traditional French cheese that's very complex, earthy and has a mushroom-tinged bite.
