How to add an external power supply
If you regularly use electrical equipment outdoors, such as a lawmower or hedge trimmer, an external power point will make life easier and safer. Importantly, it should feature a residual current device (RCD) that will help to protect you from the risk of fatal electric shock.
Turning inside out with outdoor lighting effects
Warm summer evenings are all about spending time outdoors. Once dusk falls it's often time to move the party indoors. But have you ever thought of bringing the indoors out?

Arizona Cardinals
Starting four different QBs puts Cardinals in rare group
There is a reason why the phrase "the NFL is a quarterback-driven league" is uttered ad nauseum throughout any football season.
It's because that statement is 100 percent true.
Going into the final week of the season, the top seven-rated quarterbacks in the league have their teams in the postseason or positioned to clinch a berth with a regular season-ending win.
On the other hand, you've got the Arizona Cardinals, who have struggled to get quality play from the signal callers they've used this season. Kevin Kolb did a decent job in his five starts, but since his injury in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, it's been a nightmare.
"It's no secret, we haven't got the production out of that position that we've needed," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said this week. "We've got to get consistency out of that position."
Since Kolb's injury, Arizona quarterbacks have completed only 53.7 percent of their passes for 1,840 yards and only two touchdowns against 16 interceptions. They've combined for a QB rating of 51.44.
So Whisenhunt is turning to Brian Hoyer to provide some consistency this week against the San Francisco 49ers. Hoyer, who played most of the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, will make his first NFL start and become the Cardinals' fourth different starter this season.
It's the first time the Cardinals have been pressed to use four starters in a season, and only the 20th time it's happened in the league since the AFL merger. The 2008 Cleveland Browns were the last team forced to use four starters in a season when they used Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey and Bruce Gradkowski to navigate through a 4-12 season. See, it's not exactly the company you want to be keeping.
Fourteen of the 20 teams in the "four-starter club" finished with losing records. Four teams, however, overcame their QB difficulty and made the playoffs. The 1988 Browns, 2003 Broncos, 1984 and 1986 Bears qualified for the postseason -- that '86 Chicago team went 14-2!

Last week I finished "Matterhorn: a Novel of the Vietnam War" by Karl Marlantes. It was my final fiction title from this year's Notable Books List.
I wasn't looking forward to "Matterhorn." This was party due to its length at just under 600 pages, and partly due to the setting of Marines' combat during the Vietnam War.
I'd checked it out and taken it home once before, and found myself without the time to dig in. This time I gave it my best shot, and eventually I found myself connecting with it.
Lieutenant Waino Mellas arrives in Vietnam with no experience of commanding others, and with plenty of fear for what lies ahead. At first he seems mostly confusion and diffidence, unwilling to ask questions because he's afraid to look stupid, and unsure of his likely courage under fire. Eventually, though, he becomes accustomed to the sights and sounds of war, and begins to see where his own talents can make a difference for the men with whom he eventually bonds.
I was struck over and over by the physical discomfort of the war--jungle rot, hunger and thirst, damp feet, leeches, and that short list doesn't even touch the injuries and death that follow combat engagements.
The parallel story to that of the Marines in action is the politics behind the action--officers far behind the lines making decisions, politics that enter in to placement of troops, and the ability of the field officers to make their case. Another aspect to the politics is the politics of race, with overt hostilities between some white and black Marines.
Eventually, Marlantes led me to care about Mellas and his troops, and to find his situation compelling. Mellas clearly improves as an officer, does better in accepting responsibility, works the system effectively and finds himself no longer isolated from those around him.
The title is a code name referring to a mountain that becomes a base of operation.
Merlantes served in the Marines in Vietnam, and he took years to write this novel. I'll recommend his book to people interested in the social history of war, especially Vietnam. I know that not everyone is willing to devote the time and difficult attention that this novel requires, but I will recommend it to those who recognize good fiction--sound pacing, strong character development, and literary construction of another place and time.
"Matterhorn" teams well with another Notable fiction, "The Lotus Eaters" by Tatjana Soli, which while also set in Vietnam during the war, takes a much different approach. Reading those two within the last month leads me to add the modern classic "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien to my reading list. Each year's Notables List brings some of these lucky combinations of titles related by setting or theme, adding value to my reading of the List.

When the doors open for Free Comic Book Day publishers and purveyors of tales of fantastic heroes and nefarious villains will court new readers who are making time for and spending money on comics printed on paper.
The annual event, being held Saturday, has grown in stature from a few stores to some 2,000 worldwide.
Retailers say the turnout and scope of the event, which began in 2002, is giving them and the industry a chance to tout their success by giving away 4.6 million comic books featuring everything from Superman to the zombies of "The Walking Dead" to Gilbert Hernandez's "Marble Season."
Joe Field began the event held the first Saturday in May. He calls it an opportunity for first-time and long-time readers to experience the atmosphere of comic shops, be among like-minded fans and friends and share in the pop culture origins of heroes and villains that have become television and movie staples.

Senate Committee Interrogates Henry George
January 9, 2007 | Posted by Staff under Progress Report, The Progress Report |
Senate Committee Interrogates American Reform Leader
The Interrogation of Henry George: Part Two
We are pleased to present a record of little-known testimony given to the United States Senate by the economist and social reformer Henry George. George testified as part of the investigation conducted in 1883 by the Senate Committee Upon the Relatio ns Between Labor and Capital. For this portion of the testimony, George is questioned by Senator Willkinson Call of Florida (1834-1910).
Part Two: Conclusion of Call's Questioning
Senator Call. In your opinion, what are the economic reasons why business tends to become concentrated and why all industries have a tendency to aggregation in the hands of a few?
Henry George. I think that is the universal tendency of all progress. It is because larger and larger capitals are required and because labor becomes more and more divided.
For instance, when boots and shoes are made by hand the only capital required is a lap-ston e and a little kit of tools, and any man who has learned the trade and can get a piece of leather can sit down and make a pair of shoes. He can do it in his own house and can finish his product there and sell it. But when a machine is invented to be used in that business, the shoemaker requires capital enough to purchase that machine, and, as more and more machines are invented, more and more capital is needed, while the skill required becomes less and less. I believe you have it in testimony here that in the process of shoemaking now there are sixty-four different branches, thereby requiring that number of costly machines and differentiating the trade into that number of subdivisions…
Machinery, m my opinion, ought to be an advantage to labor. Its primary effect is simply to increase the product of labor, to add to the power of labor, and enable it to produce more. One would suppose, and in fact it was supposed at the beginning of the era of modern inventions, that the effect of the introduction of machiucry would be to very greatly improve the condition of the laboring classes and largely to raise wages. I think it quite certain that its effect has not been that; that, while very many articles have been greatly cheapened iu cost and in price, wherever there has been an increase in the wages of labor it can he traced to something else; generally to the efforts of the laborers themselves, by the formation of trades unions and organizations which have wrested from their employers a higher rate of wages, or to improvements in government, or improvements in intelligence, or improvement in morals. I think that whoever will thoroughly examine the facts will come to the conclusion that John Stuart Mill is right when he says that "all the labor-saving machinery that has hitherto be en invented has not lessened the toil of a single human being."
While, on the other hand, by permitting and requiring this great subdivision of labor and dispensing to a great extent with skill on the part of the laborer, it has reduced him to a far more dependent condition than that which he occupied before. That is illustrated by the case we were speaking of a while ago. The old-fashioned shoemaker, having learned his trade and purchased his kit of tools, was his own master. If he did not find work in one place he could find it in another place. He had the means of earning a livelihood wherever he could find people who wanted shoes. But now the shoemaker must find a great factory and an employer with a large amount of capital. Without sueh an employer he is utterly helpless: he cannot make a shoe; he can only make one tenth or one sixty-fourth part of a shoe, or whatever the proportion may be. It is the same way with all other trades into which machinery has largely entered. The effect of the introduction of machinery in any trade is to dispense with skill and to make the laborer more helpless. I think you all understand that effect of machinery.
Senator Call. Your idea is that the introduction of machinery in the trades tends to prevent a man from mastering the whole of his trade — that he learns a part of the trade instead of the whole trade?
Henry George. Yes. That in itself might not be a disadvantage: but it is a disadvantage under present conditions; those conditions being that the laborers are driven by competition with each other to seek employment on any terms. They must find it; they cannot wait. Ultimately, I believe the whok trouble to come from the fact that the natural field of employment, the primary source of wealth, the land, has been monopolized and labor is shut off from it.
Wages in all occupations have a certain relation to each other: fixed by various circumstances. such as the desirability of the employment; the continuity of the work: the ease or difficulty of learning it; the scarcity of the peculiar powers reqirired, and so on; but in a large sense they must all depend upon the wages in the widest occupation. That occupation in this country is agriculture, and everywhere throughout the world the largest occupations are those which concern themselves directly and primarily with the soil. Where there is free access to the soil, wages in any employment cannot sink lower than that which, upon an average, a man can make by applying himself to the soil — to those natural opportunities of labor which it affords. When the soil is monopolized and free access to it ceases, then wages may be driven to the lowest point on which the laborer can live.
The fact that in new countries wages, generally speaking, are higher than they are in old countries, is simply because in those new countries. as we call them. the soil has not yet passed fully into private hands. As access to the land is closed, the competition between laborers for employment from a master becomes more intense, and wages arc steadily forced down to the lowest amount on which the laborer can live.
In a state of freedom the introduction of machinery could but add to wages. It would increase the productive power of labor, and the competition with each other of those having such machinery and desiring to employ labor would suffice to give the laborer his full share of the improvemeut. Where natural opportunities are closed up, however, the advantages resulting from the use of machinery, minus that part retained by monopolies arising from its use, must ultimately go to the owners of land, either in higher rents or higher prices. You can see that very readily if you consider a community in which one person or a small number of persons had full possession of the land. In such a case no one could work upon the land or live upon it save upon their terms. Those who had no land, having no means of employment. would have to compete witth each other for the privilege of working for those who had the land. and wages would, of course, steadily sink to the point at which a man could barely live.
Now, if you imagine a labor-saving invention introduced there, no matter how much it might add to the productiveness of labor, the landlord could necessarily claim the whole advantage, just as he could claim any advantage arising from increared fertility of the soil. lf invention were carried to the farthest imaginable point, so that labor could be entirely dispensed with in the production of wealth, the raw material must still be obtained from the land, and therefore the landowners would have all the wealth that could be produced, and would be absolutely independent of labor. There would be no use for anybody else, save as their servants or as pensioners on their bounty. This point is of course unattainable, but towards it labor-saving inventions tend, and their general effect is to raise the price of land. This is illustrated in the effect of railroads. Railroads very much reduce the cost of transportation, but that does not add anywhere to the wages of labor, nor yet, generally, to the profits of capital. It simply adds to the value of land. Where a railroad comes wages do not increase; interest does not rise; but land goes up in value.
All human production in the last analysis is the union of labor with land; the combination, trausportation. or modification of materials furnished by nature so as to adapt them for the use of man. Therefore where land is monopolized labor becomes helpless. Where one man owns the land he must necessarily be the master of all the other men that live upon it. Where one class own the land they must necessarily be the ruling class. Those who have not land must work for those who have it. In a ruder state of society, such as that which existed in Poland and in many other countries of the world, the system of serfdom resulted simply from the ownership of the land. The laborer was a serf because be must get his living out of the land which another man owned. In a state of society like ours, where the land is very largely divided up, you do not see this so clearly; but you can see it, on one side, in the large sums which the owners of land are enabled to obtain without doing anything themselves, and on the other, in the conditions which exist among the lowest class of laborers.
Next week, Senator Pugh takes up the questioning, challenging Henry George to explain the existence of unemployment in a nation that appears to have enough land for all.
What is your reaction to Mr. George's testimony? What would you add? Tell The Progress Report!

Word has it that Microsoft's planned iPod killer Zune (What?

The subject of Spike Lee's latest documentary is a legendary talent who was better known as a tabloid figure in the last two decades of his life. But with Bad25 -- an in-depth look at the creative process behind Michael Jackson's 1987 album on its silver anniversary, airing Thursday (ABC, 9:30 p.m. ET/PT) -- the director re-introduces us to the staggeringly gifted young man the world knew before all the circuses and scandals.
"For too long, people focused on that other stuff," Lee says. "When you do that with an artist, you do it to the detriment of the art. I think people are beginning to refocus on Michael Jackson's music now."
Lee spoke with numerous musicians, choreographers and filmmakers who collaborated with Jackson on Bad, among them one of Lee's heroes and close friends, Martin Scorsese, who directed a short film for the album's title track. There's also archival footage of Jackson -- in an interview, in the recording studio, shooting videos and performing on tour -- and commentary from stars who worked with or were influenced by him, among them Sheryl Crow (Jackson's onetime backup singer), Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Questlove.
"People at the top of their fields make it look so easy," Lee says. "You think Michael Jordan came out of the womb dunking, or Frank Sinatra was born with that voice. But it doesn't happen like that -- these people bust their (butts). Michael Jackson sang for his supper from the time he was five."
Some of those interviewed reflect on the toll that a life in show business might have taken on Jackson, and the pressure that Bad specifically posed in following 1982's Thriller, which 30 years later remains the best-selling album of all time. But the emphasis is on Jackson's artistry. "Sheryl Crow said he could change the molecules in a room," Lee notes. "I never heard a description like that. But it's very apropos."
Lee didn't fulfill his wish list for the documentary entirely. "I really wanted to get Quincy Jones," who produced Bad as well as Thriller and its predecessor, 1979's Off the Wall. "But we couldn't work it out with his schedule, so we had to use archival interviews." Lee also sought out Wesley Snipes, who appeared in Scorsese's video for Bad. "I visited Wesley in prison," where the actor is currently serving a three-year sentence for failure to file federal income tax returns, but Lee wasn't granted permission to shoot. "It's too bad, because he has some amazing stories."
Though Lee himself worked with Jackson, directing a pair of short films for the pop star's single They Don't Care About Us in 1996, he never considered adding personal insights. "We weren't close -- I'm not going to front. He was going through some things then."
Veteran music journalist Alan Light, director of programming for PBS' Live From the Artists Den, nonetheless thinks Bad25 is a good fit for Lee, "who started emerging as an artist and media figure around the time Bad came out. And Spike Lee takes on ambitious themes; he looks at big questions -- and Michael Jackson obviously poses big questions."
Bad25 already earned acclaim at this year's Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, where it was shown at its original length of 131 minutes. The ABC cut is about half that, but a full-length DVD is expected early next year. Meanwhile, Lee is grateful for the attention that the TV special will afford his work and its subject.
"Of all my documentaries, this one will be the most watched ever," Lee says. "Thanksgiving night in America? That's huge. All families, all races will be watching. I'm happy that ABC came forward."

Cubs, Rangers hope rain stays away for matinee
Following Wednesday's washout, Thursday's forecast not promising
The Cubs and Rangers will try to play on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field, but the Chicago weather could mess with the teams' plans for the second straight day.
An ominous forecast led to Wednesday night's game being postponed at about 5 p.m. CT. More storms are expected on Thursday, with wind and 100 percent chance of rain. The Rangers held on to win, 4-2, in Tuesday night's opener of the three-game series, the only time the teams are scheduled to meet this season.
Another rainout could force them into some makeup dates later in the year. That's just one example of the Chicago weather creating havoc for the Cubs, who have been rained out twice and have dealt with unpleasant conditions even when they have played.
"This has probably been a little exceptional as far as not being able to get on the field, and when we get on the field, it's been pretty miserable work conditions, too," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "But that's what it is. Guys get plenty of swings in, but the concerning part is the work on the defense and those kind of things. But that's part of the game. It's a long season, we've just come out of spring. But the bottom line is we're just not getting on the field and getting any kind of quality work."
In terms of pitching plans, the teams reacted differently to Wednesday's postponement. While the Cubs are sticking with that game's scheduled starter, Carlos Villanueva, the Rangers will push back Justin Grimm and go with their original Thursday starter, Alexi Ogando.
Villanueva is winless this season despite notching a 0.64 ERA in 14 innings over his first two starts. The right-hander, in his first year with the Cubs, has seen the team's shaky bullpen blow leads for him in both outings.
Ogando also is off to a strong start, with a 2-0 record to show for it. The right-hander, back from a bullpen role in 2012, ranks third in the American League with a 1.08 ERA and eighth with a .194 opponents' batting average.
"He has been pitching extremely well," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "He still has to find command of his fastball, and when he finds that, he will be even better. He is still able to throw his secondary pitches, but his bread and butter is still the command of his fastball."
As a starter in 2011, Ogando threw his fastball 67.4 percent of the time, according to STATS Inc. That has dipped to 45.2 percent this season, with his slider usage jumping from 27.9 percent to 42.3 percent and his changeup from 4.5 percent to 12.5 percent.
"I worked really hard on my secondary pitches in Spring Training and I am more comfortable throwing them," Ogando said.
Rangers: Murphy slated for return
• Struggling left fielder David Murphy had Tuesday off, but was in the lineup on Wednesday before the game was postponed. He is hitting .160 in his first 13 games and is 1-for-12 over his past three.
Slow starts are nothing new for Murphy. His .232 career average and .681 OPS in March and April are easily his lowest of any month, followed by May. Washington believes Murphy will figure things out.
"He's a battler," Washington said. "He's not the only one, we've got a few guys who need to come around. He has a record that shows he knows how to come around."
• With the series at Wrigley Field played under National League rules, designated hitter Lance Berkman won't be in the lineup on Thursday, but he could appear as a pinch-hitter. His 23 plate appearances against Villanueva are 11 more than any other Rangers player, and he has produced two doubles and two home runs in those opportunities.
Cubs: Gregg back with former club
• General manager Jed Hoyer said the additions of relievers Kevin Gregg and Kameron Loe on Tuesday were aimed at adding more experience to the back end of the bullpen. Gregg not only has pitched 10 years in the big leagues, but also knows his way around Wrigley Field, having played for the team in 2009.
The Cubs acquired Gregg in a trade with the Marlins the previous winter, and he went on to pitch in 72 games, although he struggled to a 4.72 ERA. He saved 23 games in 30 chances, with Carlos Marmol taking the closer's role later in the year.
"I really enjoyed my time here and I love the city of Chicago and I love the Cubs," Gregg said. "Being able to be a part of this organization, I just saw it as a good fit for me and my family."
• Second baseman Darwin Barney was activated from the disabled list and made his season debut on Tuesday. Barney, who was out with a cut on his knee, went 0-for-4, lining out to center field with the bases loaded to end the game.
Worth noting
• Rangers relievers had not allowed a run in their last 11 innings before Joe Nathan gave up a two-run double to Nate Schierholtz with two outs in Tuesday's ninth inning. Texas' bullpen still was fourth in the league with a 2.43 ERA entering Wednesday.
• Tuesday was the sixth straight game in which the Rangers scored no more than four runs. They are hitting .219 with three home runs over that span.

So if we're running Mesa 7.5, does that automatically mean we're using Gallium3D?
Phoronix: Mesa 7.5 Release Candidate 2 Brings Few Fixes
The second release candidate for the forthcoming release of Mesa 7.5 is now available. The first release candidate arrived merely a week ago, but RC2 brings a couple more fixes to the table...
So if we're running Mesa 7.5, does that automatically mean we're using Gallium3D?
AFAIK Mesa still uses the "classic" driver code paths on all GPUs except NVidia, where the Nouveau devs decided to only implement Gallium3D.
The important change with 7.5 is that all of the bits required to run a Gallium3D driver are now in the main tree, so development and testing can proceed more efficiently. The transition to Gallium3D hasn't happened yet, but one more obstacle is gone.
Last edited by bridgman; 05-16-2009 at 09:51 AM.
I just rebuilt Mesa with Gallium3D enabled. I'm looking for some way to test it.
You'll need a kernel/drm with memory management, KMS and DRI2. Probably running the F11 bits is easiest.
Not sure what you have to do to enable the Gallium3D r300 code paths, probably easiest to go on IRC and ask MostAwesomeDude or zhasha.
If you have found out how to use Gallium3D, please drop a line here.
Hurray! There is a new release of Mesa3D. Oh, wait a minute. It's a 7.4.3…

In the summer of the re-boot, Hollywood hands us Terminator Salvation, the latest take on this storied franchise that's been around for 25 years. The original was…well, original—a great story accomplished on a less-than-shoestring budget by writer/director James Cameron. The sequel provided him with a lot more money to work with, and it ended up being one of the greatest action movies of all time. Cameron turned over the reins at that point, and the franchise went downhill.
New director McG (yeah…that's his name), throws the kitchen sink into this action film, and the result is a disappointment. Don't get me wrong…the kitchen sink does include some amazing special effects. The highway chase scenes are well done, and there's a giant robot that's incredibly cool and creepy. But it's too much action—even for an action movie. For a film that's so interested in showcasing humanity and life, it doesn't seem very interested in making us care for these people. There's little character development, no humor, and nothing to make us sympathize with these people who are supposed to be the last of our kind. Sure there's the obligatory cute kid who's supposed to make us feel something, but that's a cheap, overused ploy. Every time the film seems set up to address some deeper questions, it instead jumps into an action scene with a killer robot.
Christian Bale plays John Connor, a grunt in the Resistance against the machines. Of course, sometimes he's put in charge of Big Things, so it's kinda confusing as to what role he has in the organization. Some see him as a savior, and others (we're told) view him as false prophet—though we're given zero evidence that anyone doubts him. Bale plays the whole thing with an exhausting intensity that seems overdone. There's literally only one scene where he talks in a normal voice and acts in a normal way—the scene stood out to me because he was acting so different. I know they're fighting for their lives, and all, but come on.
The plot is convoluted—even for those familiar with the films. Machines have reached sentience, and their aim is to wipe out humanity. They send the original Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first film) to kill Sarah Connor, because her son John will lead the Resistance that destroys the machines. So Bale's John Connor will (probably in the next film) send a resistance fighter named Kyle Reese into the past to save John's mother. Kyle will end up being John's father. Confused yet? Don't worry; the filmmakers hold your hand throughout the film, having characters state and restate how Kyle's death could affect the future. We get it!
Interestingly, Bale's Connor isn't the lone focus of the film. There's also Marcus Wright, played by Sam Worthington, who is [spoiler alert, though it was already spoiled by the previews] a robot with a human exterior and a few human parts. He doesn't know he's a robot until he's hit by a land mine, exposing his not-human parts. The question of what constitutes humanity is a topic that many science fiction series have better explored—Battlestar Galactica and Blade Runner, for instance—and here it's not given much depth.
Wright seems to be the genesis of the film's Salvation moniker. Early on the fully human Wright (a convicted and unapologetic murderer) is shown getting a lethal injection, and the table conspicuously forms a cross. Later, after the mine incident, he's suspended with his arms tied to the axle of a car, again resembling Christ on the cross—complete with a chain-link crown of thorns! And finally, he's given a chance to redeem himself at the end of the movie, showing how his human heart has changed—but we're never told why he changes.
Messiah comparisons aside, there's no religion to be found here. One character states that "there's no fate but what we make," and another remarks that it's strength of the heart that makes us human. The humanity of this future relies on their own strength to overcome—maybe that's why they're losing. There is strength in humanity, but our true strength is only realized in Christ. His "power is made perfect in weakness."
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language.
Discussion Questions:

Common Questions for First-Time Buyers
Shopping for natural products is a lot different from buying products like clothing or electronics. Here are the most common questions asked by first-time buyers.
a.) Are products kept in a very clean, climate-controlled facility? (See #4 below)
b.) Can I see product expiration dates, so I know they won't expire soon? (#3)
c.) Is the company solid and reliable -- not just outsourcing? (#1)
d.) Will I find a large selection of top brands in stock? (#1)
e.) How do I know which products are best for me? (#2)
f.) Is ordering and reordering fast, easy and, most importantly, SECURE? (#6 & #8)
g.) Can I be sure my personal information is not at risk? (#5)
h.) Is the company "green:" — environmentally friendly. (#10)
Top 10 Reasons to make iHerb your number one choice!
Shop directly and save!
iHerb.com is one of the world's largest online store for natural products. We have been in business since 1996 and have two distribution centers, based in California and Kentucky.
Browse our site and you'll find over 1,200 brands and 35,000 brand name products that you may also find at health food stores and natural pharmacies -- with one important difference: Our prices are typically 30 - 40% less. Also, don't forget to check our Specials page for additional discounts on some best-selling products.
Honest Customer Product Reviews
Unlike retailers that display third-party reviews, all of our reviews are written by iHerb customers. In order to write a review, you must have ordered the product from iHerb first. This means you receive honest and candid reviews, thereby helping you make a smarter buying decision.
Assurance of freshness with expiration dates
Because we have one of the highest product turnover rates in the industry, iHerb is able to offer you the FRESHEST products possible!
Our inventory turnover rate averages to 8.1 times per year; among the highest turnover rates, if not the highest, in our industry. This means that iHerb products are on the shelf an average of only 45 days!
Plus, most products we carry have expiration or best-by dates, which can be accessed on the product page. It's like holding the real bottle or package in your hand, as you would in a typical "brick and mortar" store.
Air-conditioned, super clean warehouses
iHerb's distribution centers are entirely climate-controlled, which protects the products from such conditions as humidity, heat and cold. This level of quality control is employed by iHerb to ensure product effectiveness for the customer.
In addition, our distribution centers are industry certified by NSF International, earning Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification.
Solid personal privacy commitment
Personal privacy is critically important to us. Since 1996, iHerb has never sold, leased or shared any customer information with third parties. Your personal information remains entirely confidential.
Enhanced 256-bit Encryption with Tokenization
When you place an order, iHerb secures the transaction with an enhanced 256-bit encryption process. Furthermore, iHerb employs tokenization, a security measure recently implemented by Apple Pay. With tokenization, credit card numbers are converted into tokens and used as a proxy during the payment process. If the tokens are stolen, the codes become useless, as they don't contain your credit card number.
Simply put, we only store the last 4 digits and the expiration date of your credit card, so you can identify what card you are using.
24 hour/7 day customer service
One of the ways iHerb can offer such low prices is by automating the whole ordering process. While our customer service agents don't actually take orders, they do offer live customer support from our California facility, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Pacific Time), Monday - Friday. We are also reachable 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, by chat and email to answer questions and resolve issues with your order. Of course, nobody's perfect. We may get quite busy at times and we ask for a little patience. We'll do our best to take care of things promptly, efficiently and courteously -- this is what our customers deserve!
Effortless ordering and reordering
Saving time is like saving money. We make the shopping experience simple, moving you smoothly from login through checkout. And reordering is a breeze, with as few as five clicks!
Library of information from unbiased sources
iHerb gives you full access to an incredible amount of unbiased, science-based information about alternative and traditional healing, nutrition, lifestyle, longevity and more. We offer customers and visitors alike access to highly respected sources of information, including The Natural Pharmacy, German Commission E Monographs and HerbalGram magazine. It's another way iHerb gives you more.
A greener way to shop
When you shop with us, you're part of a global solution. iHerb uses 100% post-consumer recycled paper for 90% of all shipping boxes. Our bubble wrap is 40% recyclable, and we recycle virtually all packing materials received from manufacturers. All in the interest of a healthier, more sustainable planet! Read more.
Experience the difference when you order today! iHerb.com has run a thriving e-commerce business since 1996. What is the key to our continued success? Simply this: we keep the customers' needs uppermost in our minds. Try us, and enjoy the iHerb difference!

There are new opportunities for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) to leverage the cloud to better enable collaboration and mobility without being bound by the firewall or the limits of an out-of-date IT infrastructure. Trends in mobility and the rise of cloud-based content services have increased user expectations (and options) but businesses still need to manage custom business processes, integrate with existing data and systems, and ensure content security and compliance. These requirements are leading enterprises to hybrid ECM strategies that combine the agility of the cloud with the requirements of the enterprise.
Join guest speaker, 451 analyst Alan Pelz-Sharpe, and Alfresco's CTO John Newton as they explore how hybrid is enabling today's enterprise users while meeting the demands of the IT department.

A recipe for an egg salad that Swedish monarchs of the past have proudly eaten.
"Cook! Get me a Koenigsegg!"
"Getting one sir!"
A few days later, a hungry monarch in Skandinavia threw his nut as he saw some weird car rolling through his front gates...

The koenigsegg is NOT the fastest car in the world!! The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is currently the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive street-legal full production car in the world, with 1001 horsepower, get your facts straight...plz...
Only 2 people in the U.S. have the Bugatti Veyron and they are Scott Storch and Ralph Lauren. The koenigsegg doesnt stand a chance.

Whittemore, a Democrat, said the Affordable Care Act has already impacted her own family for the better.
"He'd wanted to wait until his Medicare coverage kicked in," Whittemore said. "But with the Affordable Health Care Act, we were able to get on insurance despite Robert's pre-existing condition. Without it, we would have been in a dire situation."
"This is not a sprint, it's a marathon," said Tammy Siekmann, a member of the Londonderry Democratic Party. "We still have plenty of time to get this done and right now, our biggest goal is to encourage younger people to get enrolled."
