Déjà Vu
North of the Vermont border lies a Canadian province known for churning out some of the most talented street snowboarders in the world. Last year, these French Canadian powerhouses joined forces to make a movie called "Déjà Vu."Here, photographer Alex Paradis takes us behind the scenes, starting with this nosepress from LNP.

Lost In The '50s Sandpoint Hot Rod Show
Written by Chris Shelton on April 1, 2010 Notes From The Biggest Little Show You've Probably Never Heard OfOn the third weekend of May a very successful car show happens in a very unlikely place. It's called Lost in the '50s, and in the past quarter century it's grown to the point where it takes over the entire town of Sandpoint, Idaho, for almost an entire weekend.
Never heard of Sandpoint you say? Well you're not alone. If Idaho's panhandle is the middle of nowhere, Sandpoint is the outer edge. It's smack-dab between Coeur d'Alene and Canada, and as far as Google maps are concerned, it's one of the last northernmost towns worth noting. Still, it attracts nearly 500 cars from every corner of the country.
The event may be Sandpoint's big hurrah, but it's Carolyn Gleason's baby. Never heard of Gleason either? Well that's no surprise; she's about as unlikely a person to promote a car show as you'd think. She runs a pizza joint on Second Avenue. Reflecting on that first show 24 years ago she says, "I didn't know anything about putting on a car show. Heck, I don't even own an old car!"
What's more, the car show was adjunct to a '50s-themed dance she organized as part of a means to drum up money for the Festival of Sandpoint, a non-profit organization that brings musicians to the area. "We just wanted to do rock 'n' roll and get cars and have a good time," she explained. "There wasn't much of that going on 24 years ago. I got Bobby Vee and Del Shannon to come up the first year," Gleason continued. "I thought 'OK, we need cars too.'" So she went and begged friends and a recent winner of the Spokane Auto Boat and Speed Show to bring their early tin.
"We did a Friday night cruise where we hooked up speakers on the back of a Lincoln Continental convertible," she said. "We drove around hanging out of the car with pom-poms trying to get some action."
But something unexpected happened: The little dance made money. "We had 26 cars that year," Gleason observed. "The next year we had 56 cars. 'Holy mackerel, what's this?'" she pondered. The third year they hired Fabian. "The dance sold out like we were rock stars," she said, bragging that the dance sold out in a tick more than 20 hours. Oh yeah, 100 cars showed up too.
The event breaks down like this: It spans four days and includes several shows, dances, a cruise through town, and a full-fledged show downtown. It kicks off Thursday night with Rock 'N' Roll Heaven at the Panida Theatre, a '20s-era vaudeville and movie house. It's an impersonation show. "I mean how do you see Elvis anymore?" Gleason asked. "A lot of these original artists are gone but we wanted to show what they were like. It's my way of getting really fun music out of young entertainers, people who bring people like Elvis, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Jackie Wilson, The Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly back to life. It's the spirit."
On Friday afternoon cars and their drivers assemble at the high school parking lot. Once fully amassed, they line file out onto Division and head north. At this point the logistics of the cruise start to weigh in. Division is the town's longest north/south street, and as its name implies it's a fairly major thoroughfare. In fact, the city won't close off the entire street it's so important. But that doesn't really affect anything. Spectators, sometimes several people deep, line Division all the way to Cedar. It's really quite a spectacle.
Hooking a right onto Cedar is sort of a time warp. You know those nostalgic tree-lined places in the movies? Sandpoint is one of 'em. The town was incorporated in 1898, so it's got the history. It's pretty obvious by the buildings that the timber-harvesting money stayed here.
As the cruise winds the rest of the way through town, it becomes obvious that the money never stopped coming in. Sandpoint is the home to aviation (Quest Aircraft), specialty culinary (Litehouse Foods), and medical instruments (Percussion Aire), to name a few. The idea that upscale clothing manufacturer Coldwater Creek planted itself in Sandpoint suggests that the town is more of a destination than a waypoint. The abundance of high-end restaurants around the main store confirms that. While not officially sanctioned, the cruise generally lingers for a few hours.
Two events take precedent Friday night, and depending on family dynamics people generally go two ways (well three if you count the restaurants). The event established a true street dance a number of years back to cater to families. "It was basically created for kids," Gleason said. "I wanted them to have something more-they've never danced in the street. They never had a band in the street or anything."
The second event is the star of the show, so to speak. It starts about sundown, and unlike the street dance it's an adults-only gig. "Because at the dances you can't have kids and sell liquor," Gleason noted.
Remember how Gleason got Bobby Vee and Del Shannon for the first event? Well for the past 16 years revivalist band Rocky and the Rollers have provided backup for numerous acts like The Crystals and Johnny Thunder. And in its 24 years, Lost in the '50s has hosted 52 original rock 'n' roll and R&B artists. Gleason rattled off a few. "Let's see, we had Little Anthony and the Imperials, Chubby Checkers, the Shirelles, Gary Puckett, Peggy March, Shirley Austin Reeves-the original lead singer of the Shirelles," she said, pausing for a breath. "Johnny Rivers, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Drifters, Dickey Lee, and Little Eva," she continued. "We got a chance to have a lot of these performers play for us," she added. "A lot of them are gone now."
If a car show that closes downtown and hosts dances that attract A-list performers sounds like a big-dollar production, let us disabuse you of that notion. The big dance happens in a tin hall at the Bonner County fairgrounds. "It's not a hall that's good for sounds," Gleason admitted. At the same time, the acoustics weren't all that great in the gymnasiums and conference halls that hosted rock 'n' roll when it was new either. So in that sense these dances are closer to the way things were than we'd expect.
Saturday morning cars gather downtown. The show takes over First and Second between Pine and Cedar, which means downtown basically belongs to the show. Though it's a judged show, the criteria are pretty simple. Basically things boil down to what looks cool. In that way it's real informal.
That informality is intentional, according to Gleason. "We take people in as if they've lived here for years." She said it's largely due to the crew who puts on the show: A flagging service for traffic control and some concessions withstanding, Lost in the '50s is a volunteer venture. So instead of confronting disinterested wage earners who'd rather be elsewhere, you meet people whose best interest is your fun. In fact, rather than contracting businesses for certain jobs, Gleason said she makes a point of paying other benevolent organizations. Cub Scouts for example. "We'd rather give money to these service organizations to do clean up after the dance."
The event exists on Gleason's funding and local sponsorship, though you'd never suspect it. Seeing how the event is a non-profit, they can't keep a dime. So they've found creative ways to spend it. And they spend it on the attendees.
Starting at the beginning, Lost in the '50s entry gifts are legendary. "People told me 'I'm sick and tired of goodie bags,'" she said. "I've asked guys what they do with them. They say their grandchildren get some, some of it goes in the garbage, and the rest goes into a junk drawer."
So Gleason got creative. One year the entry gifts were oversized screen-printed golf umbrellas in the event colors. For the 20th she gave away stadium blankets embroidered with the event logo. "I spend the better half of their entry fee just buying something wonderful for them," she said. "They always look at us and ask, 'This is ours?' The next year we did a bag so everybody would have something to put all their stuff in."
The trophies are also unique. The first ones were literally unique; she attached various car parts-a '53 Chevy glovebox lid, a hood ornament, and a hubcap-to wooden plaques. Availability led her to simpler trophies over the years, but when an unappreciative attendee threw his plaque back in protest, she started looking. "We wanted people to feel like they were rock stars," she said. "Well I found a guy who makes gold records for the real people. I buy the frames and cut the mat and glue the records in myself." First place gets a gold record. Second and third get a gold 45 (the records are platinum for the 25th anniversary next year, by the way). "Those are just the little twisted things in your brain that make you ask, 'How can we be different than everybody else,'" she admitted.
When you consider the formal dance that repeats itself on Saturday night and the Aspirin Rally the following morning, Lost in the '50s starts to look like quite a lot of work. And it is, according to Gleason.
Whether it's the city fathers, the sheriff, or even the governor, "Every year they try to throw a brick wall in my way," she continued. For example, when the sheriff joked that it would be safer if she just closed the whole town for the weekend, Gleason and her crew appealed to the local businesses, filed the appropriate paperwork, and got the whole downtown area for the show. "They tell me I can't do something," she said. "Well don't tell me I can't do something." For another example of her fortitude, consider that a major highway splits the town. For that evening, though, heavy trucks and all conceded to the show traffic.
It's not money that makes that sort of thing possible; it's a labor of love. Nor is it money that makes people return year after year. If there's a single component that makes Lost in the '50s successful, it's hospitality. This little town of 7,000 practically doubles every third weekend of May. And for those four days, everybody is a local.

I love my Cricut Expression machine. It's so easy to use that I've let my 8-year old (now 9) grandson use it with my supervision. I've had it a little over a year & have used it many times to create greeting cards, stencils to paint on T-shirts, and to help my grandson with a science project. I look forward to using it for more applications. I wish it would cut a design in the middle of a greeting card and it probably does if I could figure out the measurements. I also wish the cartridges were not so expensive (even on sale) and I wish the cartridges had some other designs that I would like. I also wish the web site would allow us to search for an object we want to cut and take us to the different cartridges that have that object.
I got my Expression 2-3 years ago on Black Friday at WalMart. I have had no problems with it. I love it. I have taken classes at a local scrap store and watched videos. It's easy to use and the creative ideas are endless. Bought a bag and it goes to crops with me. Looked at the Imagine, but I will keep my Expressions.....
I bought the cricut expression two months ago and I have never used it. I have spent hours on the phone with customer support and still nothing. I am once again waiting for new parts to get here.
It was a rocky start - 6 warranty replacements in 6 months until I received one that worked, and kept on working. Customer Service went above and beyond helping me get a unit that worked as expected. Now, 6 months after receiving #6 I've made hundreds of cuts and am extremely pleased. I'm glad I didn't give up before #6!
I've had my Cricut Expression for almost 5 years now. I bought it in 2007 when I had my first child. Ever since, I've had no problem with the machine. It never really failed on me.
I have owned mine for about 5 years now. I've never had a problem and 5 friends have got one since. I also have the Imagine, 2 YourStorys,and the Gypsy. Thank you Provo Craft
think it IS a great machine, but it is out of date now APPARENTALY and you cant buy parts , SO IM STUCK WITH A MACHINE THAT DOSENOT WORK. I SEE THAT SOMEONE ON THIS FORUM PURCHASED ONE JUST THIS YEAR, WELL IF THEY ARE STILL ON THE MARKET THEN YOU SHOULD SUPPLY SPARE PARTS OR RECALL ALL MACHINES THAT ARE OUT OF DATE.
A friend of mine let me play with her Expression and I decided immediately that I had to have one! I bought my Expression about 2 1/2 years ago at Walmart during the black friday sale. I have used it to decorate bulletin boards at work, make baby shower invites, decorations for my wedding and church events. I absolutely love it. The only problem that I have had is that I cant seem to get it to work with the design studio software I bought. But I think it's my computer that is the problem. I just ordered a Gypsy (really looking forward to it) and am thinking about getting an Imagine.

With Zim back, Nats face Burnett in Pittsburgh
Third baseman returns from DL to take on fireballing righty
Here, if nothing else, is a measuring stick for two of the league's best young teams.
The Pirates are off to another fast start and rank near the top of the crowded National League Central, and they'll get to test themselves against the Nationals this weekend. Washington, by contrast, has had a rough week and finds itself struggling just above the .500 mark, and it will need a strong performance against Pittsburgh to stay afloat in the NL East.
The Pirates are coming off a series loss to the Brewers, but they took series from the Phillies and Cardinals last week. Pittsburgh is 8-4 at home; A.J. Burnett will be matched against southpaw Ross Detwiler in Friday's series opener, which will see Washington activate third baseman Ryan Zimmerman from the 15-day disabled list. Stephen Strasburg will pitch the middle game of this series, and the Pirates will counter with Jeff Locke.
Detwiler racked up a 0.90 ERA in his first two starts but has lost each of his last two outings. Pittsburgh is hitting just .193 against southpaw starters this year, and franchise player Andrew McCutchen is part of that power outage. But McCutchen, batting .174 against lefties this season, hasn't lost his confidence.
"My confidence is always through the roof, regardless of the outcome," McCutchen said. "If you focus on results, it's going to be a long season. I know what I'm capable of. Just have to keep telling yourself that. I'm not result-oriented, I just think about the process."
The Pirates will have a great opportunity to make an impact in the division race this month. Pittsburgh will play 15 of its next 19 at home, and 18 of its 28 May games will be played at PNC Park. Burnett is 1-1 with a 2.89 ERA in three home starts this season, and he's gone 7-3 with a 3.33 ERA in 15 career appearances against Washington.
Burnett has won two of his last three starts -- both against St. Louis -- and has completed at least five innings in each of his first six outings. The Pirates have won 13 of their last 19 games, and crept within a half-game of the first-place Cardinals on Wednesday before enjoying a day off on Thursday.
Washington, meanwhile, is trying hard to restore its early-season momentum. The Nationals were 9-6 as recently as April 17 but went 4-8 in their next 12 games. Washington will have a brief five-game homestand after it plays Pittsburgh, but then goes on a West Coast road trip for series against Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.
Nationals: Harper in lineup after X-rays negative
Outfielder Bryce Harper left Wednesday's game against the Braves with a bruise under his left shoulder blade but was back in the lineup on Thursday after X-rays came back negative.
Leading off the sixth inning on Wednesday, Harper tried to check his swing on an 0-1 pitch from starter Paul Maholm. Though he winced following the swing, he finished the at-bat, hitting a smash to first baseman Freddie Freeman on Maholm's next offering.
Harper, who described the area as "a little tight" following ice and other treatment, finished Thursday's game 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout.
Pirates: Martin gets rest after hot streak
Russell Martin, who got a day off on Wednesday, has been on fire for the Pirates. The veteran catcher has four home runs in his last four games and six in his last 12, and his next homer will be the 100th of his career. He homered on Tuesday night and had a two-homer performance in Pittsburgh's 9-0 victory over St. Louis on Sunday.
Martin hit .274 in April, a performance that stands in stark contrast to what he did last season. Then playing for the Yankees, he batted .167 in April and .179 in 68 games before the All-Star break.
Worth noting
• The Pirates have won the final game in each of their last six series.
• The Pirates are 12-4 when scoring more than four runs and 4-8 when scoring four or fewer.
• Detwiler is seeking his first career win on the road against the NL Central; he is 0-6 with a 3.98 ERA in eight career starts.

I will never understand why AMD doesn't send samples too
Maybe because their proprietary linux driver sucks so much that they fear bad publicity
Phoronix: A Lot Of New NVIDIA Linux Benchmarks Are Coming!
A number of new NVIDIA GeForce graphics card reviews under Linux are underway along with many more Linux GPU driver analysis articles, etc. NVIDIA has just sent over to Phoronix a number of new high-end graphics cards...
I will never understand why AMD doesn't send samples too
Maybe because their proprietary linux driver sucks so much that they fear bad publicity
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
Lucky you! I think the GTX 780 Ti isn't even supported on Linux, yet. At least the NVIDIA driver search doesn't spit out a compatible driver.
Benchmarks I'd like to see.
GTX Titan on high end AMD CPU and on high end Intel CPU. People say that it's better to buy an AMD CPU for your gaming rig since they cost 100 USD less than Intel and the CPU isn't that important. I think a 1600p benchmark on a high end NVIDIA card should clear that up. My guess is that on Intel hardware it will do much better.
I'd also like to see a SLI benchmark. The last benchmark I found was from 2007 on phoronix but other than that you don't find ANY information about how dual GTX 680s or a GTX 690 performs on Linux with the newest driver compared to Windows. I have been thinking about getting a second used GTX 580 which should be faster (if they scale well on Linux on high resolution) than selling my GTX 580 an buying a GTX 770 which would cost about the same.
Forget SLI on Linux for a few years.
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
Oh! I envy you because you have those cards!
>Any other special benchmark requests?
Yes, Blender CUDA/OpenCL performance would be a very good benchmark!
You try different tile sizes, good one could be 256x256:
Also, the performance of multi GPU with and without SLI.
This benchmark would be very great if you do it!
I mean Blender "Cycles", of course.
By the way, why is so short the time to edit a post?
Hey Michael, you can put the Windows drivers in the benchmarks too. It will be very appreciated.

The rear-wheel-steer tricycle
June 3, 2006 We never cease to be amazed at just how many combinations for three and four wheeled conveyances are possible in the quest to have some fun. Yet another completely new layout for the humble tricycle arrived on our desk this week and it's a far cry from the picture you see in your mind's eye when the word tricycle is mentioned. The new layout has been trademarked DriftRider and it's a reclining trike with a fixed front wheel and steering via both rear wheels. Offering a human-powered experience akin to that of the new motorsport known as drifting, we could see the US$170 DriftRider becoming a Christmas sensation as a new wave of tweens comes to grips with the machine's ability to slide, drift and do quite spectacular things. Check out the image gallery then the video - still images don't do the stunt capabilities justice.

Peace Corps resumed work in Burkina Faso in 1995 after an eight-year absence. Upon request of the government, Volunteers arrived to work in primary healthcare in rural communities.
Two years later, the Ministry century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia of Secondary Education requested Volunteers to work with middle schools, high schools, a teacher-training college, and a university to make up for large shortfalls in qualified teachers.
In 2003, the government and Peace Corps collaborated to start a small enterprise development project in microfinance and agribusiness. The girls' education and empowerment program began in 2005 in collaboration with the Ministry of Basic Education.

[edit] Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso
The Peace Corps entered Burkina Faso, then called Upper Volta, in 1967 and operated there uninterrupted for 20 years. Major projects included forestry extension, young farmer education, small enterprise development, secondary education (math, science, and English language), water well construction, agricultural and environmental extension, arts and crafts, basketball coaching, and parks development. In June 1986, the government of Burkina Faso asked the Peace Corps to cease sending Volunteers because the Peace Corps' programs no longer century 21 broker properti jual beli sewa rumah Indonesia coincided with Burkina Faso's development goals. The 30 Volunteers in the country completed their service in 1987. In 1995, 19 trainees arrived in Burkina Faso as part of a newly established health project. One year later, the Peace Corps established a secondary education project in response to the government's urgent request for teachers. In 2003, in response to government initiatives and articulated local needs, a small enterprise development project began with 15 trainees. A girls' education project started in 2005. Currently, nearly 170 Volunteers work throughout the country, primarily in rural areas. Approximately 1,500 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in Burkina Faso to date.
[edit] Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle
Main article: Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Burkina Faso
The government ministry to which you are assigned or your community will provide you with safe and adequate housing in accordance with the Peace Corps' site selection criteria. The majority of health Volunteers live in small rural villages, while education Volunteers tend to live in larger villages and towns. Volunteer housing is typically a small house made of mud or cement bricks with a thatch or tin roof. Many Volunteers do not have running water or electricity; they draw their water from a well and obtain light through kerosene lanterns. Nearly all Volunteers are within one hour of a neighboring Volunteer and eight hours of the Peace Corps office in Ouagadougou by public transport.
[edit] Training
Main article: Training in Burkina Faso
During the first several days of training, you will stay at a training center or hotel in the capital. After this orientation period, you will move to Ouahigouya, a regional capital north of Ouagadougou. Trainees will be placed in clusters of four to five people along with a language and cross-culture facilitator. Health and girls' education clusters will be located in villages a short distance from Ouahigouya. Clusters of small enterprise development and secondary education trainees will most likely be based in Ouahigouya.
Trainees will be assigned to a host family where they will live for the duration of pre-service training. The host family experience, which Volunteers in Burkina Faso consider one of the most critical elements of training, allows you to gain hands-on experience in some of the new skills you are expected to acquire. Most Volunteers remain in close contact with their host families throughout their service.
At the beginning of training, the training staff will outline the goals that each trainee has to achieve before becoming a Volunteer and the criteria that will be used to assess progress toward those goals. The training director, along with the language, technical, and cross-cultural trainers, will work with you toward the highest possible achievement of training goals by providing you with feedback throughout training. After successful completion of pre-service training, you will be sworn-in as a Volunteer and make final preparations to depart for your site.
[edit] Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health care and safety in Burkina Faso
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. The Peace Corps in Burkina Faso maintains a clinic with two full-time medical officers, who take care of Volunteers' primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services, such as testing and basic treatment, are also available in Burkina Faso at local, American-standard hospitals. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported either to a medical facility in the region or to the United States.
[edit] Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Burkina Faso
In Burkina Faso, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics considered familiar and commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Burkina Faso.
Outside of Burkina Faso's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Burkina Faso are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.

How we fight poverty
The injustice of poverty demands a powerful and practical response to address both its causes and its impact on peoples' lives.
Nearly 4 million people remain in urgent need in South Sudan following the conflict that broke out in December 2013. Over 2 million people have fled their homes and and sought refuge within South Sudan or in neighboring countries. We have reached more than 480,000 people with life-saving essentials, but we urgently need to reach more.
Four years after the beginning of the conflict in Syria the war shows no sign of abating. Massive numbers of people have fled conflict areas and are now living in inadequate shelter within Syria or in neighboring countries.
Long-term vision and committed funding urgently needed from international community as flow of Syrian refugees continues.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
The ultimate question is what will happen when most online retailers have to charge sales tax. The impact may not be as big as some suppose.
I'm a big sports fan, but lousy at predicting who will win tomorrow's game. Maybe I should switch to handicapping political contests.
My prediction in a July 13 blog post that California and Amazon.com would find a face-saving way out of their confrontation over online sales taxes proved on the money. A deal reached this week puts off for a year California's plan to require larger e-retailers like Amazon to collect sales tax. The face-saving quid pro quo for the state was Amazon's agreement to push for a federal law that would lead to more online retailers collecting sales tax on online purchases in the same way that retailers in physical stores add sales tax.
While it's hard to predict if the Cubs' starter will have his best stuff tomorrow, it was pretty easy to see that both California and Amazon had a lot to lose if the state didn't back off its plan to extend sales tax to more online purchases and Amazon went ahead and pushed for a referendum to put the question to the voters.
California state officials would have been in the position of trying to convince voters to agree to pay more taxes, not an easy sell these days. And, if there had been a referendum, proponents of the online sales tax—mainly the retail chains that have to charge sales tax on most online sales because their stores give them a physical presence in most states—would have spent the next several months painting Amazon as a greedy, tax-dodging scalawag. Not what Amazon's marketing department had in mind.
Cooler heads prevailed, on both sides.
For now, the question heads back to Congress, which has for years given little consideration to a proposed law that would allow states that have made sales taxes less complex by participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax project to force all but the smallest online retailers to charge sales tax. If Congress passes such a law, it would effectively override the 1992 Supreme Court decision that allows states to force sales tax collection only on retailers with a physical presence in their states, such as stores or distribution centers. Laws to that effect have been before Congress for several sessions without going very far. But, given the budget problems of the states, there is a chance this bill could pass within the next year, or so it seems to me. (Check back next year to see how this political prediction pans out.)
Meanwhile, the question for retailers of all types is this: How big a deal will it be if online retailers charge sales taxes? A recent survey by Forrester Research suggests it might have an impact, but not as much as some seem to believe. The survey found 44% of consumers paid sales tax on their most recent online purchase, 38% did not and 18% couldn't recall. Only 25% were sure they would have shopped elsewhere if the e-commerce site had added sales tax.
E-retailers certainly don't want to lose 25% of their sales, but keep in mind this survey was taken during the second quarter of this year, when there were other web sites shoppers could go to that didn't charge sales tax. Once the day arrives‑‑and I believe it's not far off‑‑when most retail sites must charge sales tax, the choice for the shopper moves from whether to pay sales tax to whether to buy online or go to a physical store to make a purchase.
Surveys consistently show that consumers increasingly shop online not for the lowest price, but for convenience and a deeper selection than they find in stores. Those e-commerce advantages are not going away, and neither are online shoppers, regardless of how Washington ultimately settles the sales tax question.

By Maximum Human Performance, LLC
5 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Dec 2017
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:?3.33 lbs (1.51 kg)
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.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I love this protein. It tastes great & fills me up. I add 1 packet of stevia & make it in the shaker with ice, water & almond milk. Perfect combo
If you're dairy/lactose intolerant this is the protein for you. Other protein mixtures have always caused me quick and painful gastric distress. This protein mixes pretty well, tastes decent enough and caused me absolutely no digestive issues. Highly recommended and will buy again!

Hi: 17° Lo:11°
RESIDENTS and visitors can now access information all about Stratford through one button on their mobile phones.
The Stratford Big Local App, launched this week, features local community and council info, offers from local businesses and attractions, cinema listings, what's on guide, and local news, all on a bespoke app. It is available on smart phones and iphones and is completely free to download.
Town businesswoman Barbara Cadd, who is behind the Stratford Big Local App, said: "The trend for accessing information on a mobile phone has grown hugely which isn't surprising as 92 per cent of adults now own a mobile device. With 84 per cent of users searching for local information on their phones and one in five making a purchase, I decided that having an app for Stratford would benefit businesses, tourists and local folks alike."
"Everyone is going through tough economic times so it's essential to help local businesses promote themselves and give Stratford people incentives to shop, eat and enjoy entertainment in our towns and villages rather than going elsewhere."
Stratford District Council is using the app as an important communications tool.
Council chairman Coun Neil Beamer said: "For the council this a great and cost-effective way to share information with residents from bin collection times to leisure centre openings and elections. Not everyone has access to a computer so the app is a different way to get information and also link into our website."
Local businesses such as estate agents, restaurants and shops have signed up to the Big Local App along with tourist information, attractions, Stratford College and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
The Big Local App can be downloaded direct from www.stratford.biglocalapp.com, or from the app store or Google Play.

Get your skates on with the FlyRad motorized unicycle
Article Summary
We've seen a few vehicle designs that have had a crack at bringing the unicycle out of the circus and onto the street, such as the self-balancing eniCycle, the UnoMoto, the EMBRIO and Honda's U3-X. Here's a very different approach. Although it is a one wheeled motorized vehicle, there's nothing self-balancing about the FlyRad – the design requires the rider to wear a pair of inline skates while they sit, stand or simply get dragged along.

And ten years from now when your kids are done with it, good luck getting it out of the cement. Much better off buying a portable.
If you are going to put in a permanent hoop, I would recommend a larger backboard. 44 inches is about two feet smaller than regulation. As kids get bigger they will find it difficult to make lay-ups and bank shots with such a small backboard.

And when it falls on some neighbor kids head, good luck with the lawsuit. I speak from the experience of two people I know.
I've had 2 portable goals. I passed on a 3rd. I got the Spaulding 54" tempered glass backboard off Woot several months ago and it's awesome. A bit tricky to install, but well worth the price. 10 years from now I'll the new owner of the house worry about it.
Apparently you can use this ground sleeve to install it: http://www.amazon.com/Spalding-8679-Ground-Sleeve-Round/dp/B00024XCE0 Does anyone know the dimensions of the sleeve? I can't find an instruction manual online or anything like that. How is this thing for adults who just want to casually shoot some hoops?

Apple Stock Nosedives!
Thu, Nov 15, 2012 - 5:12 PMApple's meteoric rise over the past few years appears to finally be over. After more than a year after the death of Steve Jobs and some iffy recent product launches, the bubble sustaining Apple's reality distortion field – and rising stock value – appears to have burst.
The upshot is that Apple's stock is tumbling downhill. Fast. Nearly every mutual and hedge fund has invested in Apple during its rise and rise, but they are now pulling out in droves as the stock goes through a spectacular decline to a six month low Thursday, as funds rushed to extract profits before it was too late.
Shares have fallen a large 25% since the iPhone 5 was launched in mid-September. With so many faults, such as the awful purple-tinged pictures that we reported on and dodgy maps, the iPhone 5 is a flawed product and not really one for loyal Apple fans to aspire to. Add to this the recent introduction of the warmed-over revision of the Retina iPad launched so soon after the previous version and simultaneously with the unexciting iPad mini and it's not hard to see why the bubble has burst. It's likely not even Steve Jobs could have prevented this decline under these circumstances. Well, probably not.
Apple was the classic case of no more incremental buyers of the stock," said Enis Taner of RiskReversal.com. "No matter how bullish a story, you need new buyers of the stock each and every day, or it will go down. Simply put: Apple has run out of them."

Nice shirt
Nice casual shirt for seasonal transitional. It is pretty thin but I like the texture for jeans and layering.

Too flimsy & see through.

Perfect White Tee
Got this for $6.99 at the Limited store. Cannot beat that price at all. Got the small and it fits like a glove, leaving just a smidge of room so that it's not too tight. Perfect top for layering, for wearing alone with a nice pair of jeans, but a day out of running errands, shopping, or just whatever. Really big fan of white t-shirts and am glad to add this one to my collection.

Scoopneck Popover Slub Tee
Bought this slub tee this summer in navy, and I absolutely love the material. Goes with everything. You can dress is down or up, Great price too! True to size- has give to it.

Poor Quality
The fit was good. However, the quality was not. After one wash, noticed a small rip in the seam along the collar.
August 15, 2013
See through and not great quality
I was disappointed with this item. The fabric is see through and the fit was not great. I may use to layer, but it does not look great on its own.
August 15, 2013
Way too thin!
I accidentally ordered 2 white tee shirts. When I received them I thought they were way too thin for the price I paid. I could not see wearing them as I was looking for a plain white tee shirt that could be versatile, but I could never wear this alone as it is see through. Even if I wore it under a jacket or sweater, I couldn't leave it open due to it being see through.. I returned them.
August 3, 2013
Just ok.
This was a good deal at the price and fits great. I just hate I have to wear a cami under a summer tshirt.

The ability to gather, analyze, and distribute information broadly is one of the great strengths of digital health, perhaps the most significant short-term opportunity to positively impact medical practice. Yet, the exact same technology also carries a set of intimately-associated liabilities, dangers we must recognize and respect if we are to do more good than harm.
Consider these three examples:
- Last week, a study from Case Western reported that at least 20% of the information in most physician progress notes was copy-and-pasted from previous notes. As recently discussed at kevinmd.com and elsewhere, this process can adversely affect patient care in a number of ways, and there's actually an emerging literature devoted to the study of "copy-paste" errors in EMRs. The ease with which information can be transferred can lead to the rapid propagation of erroneous information – a phenomenon we used to call a "chart virus." In essence, this is simply another example of consecrating information without first appropriately analyzing it (e.g. by asking the patient, when this is possible).
- At a recent health conference, a speaker noted that a key flaw with most electronic medical record (EMR) platforms is that they are "automating broken processes." Rather than use the arrival of new technology to think carefully, and from the ground up, about the problems that need to be solved, most EMRs simply digitally reify what already exists. Not only does this perpetuate (and usual exacerbate) notoriously byzantine operational practices and leave many users explicitly complaining they are worse off than before, but it also misses the chance to offer conceptually original approaches that profoundly improve workflow and enhance user experience.

Tampa Bay, winner of 10 of its past 12 games, advances to the AL Division Series against the Boston Red Sox. Game 1 will be played Friday at Fenway Park.
Cobb limited the Indians to eight hits and one walk. He struck out five. In two starts against Cleveland this year, counting Wednesday, the 25-year-old right-hander went 2-0 and threw a combined 14 scoreless innings.
Cobb was at his best in the middle innings, when the Indians had two golden opportunities to score.
In the fourth, Cleveland loaded the bases loaded with one out, but Cobb got Asdrubal Cabrera to ground into an inning-ending double play. In the fifth, the Indians had runners at first and third with no outs but again came up empty. Cobb struck out Michael Bourn, then induced groundouts from Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis.
Both teams finished 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Indians rookie right-hander Danny Salazar lasted only four innings, as the Rays reached him for one run in the third inning (on Delmon Young's homer) and two more in the fourth (on Jennings' double).
Salazar, facing Tampa Bay for the first time, retired the first six batters, striking out three. In the first two innings, Salazar threw 20 pitches, 16 of them strikes.
Salazar's 21st pitch resulted in a 1-0 Tampa Bay lead. Young led off the third inning with a home run over the left field wall.
The Rays added two runs in the fourth. With one out, James Loney singled and went to second on a single by Evan Longoria. After Ben Zobrist flied out, Jennings ripped a double into the left field corner, scoring both runners to give the Rays a 3-0 lead.
Salazar gave up four hits and two walks while striking out four.
The Indians' last chance to score came in the seventh inning when they had runners at first and second with one out, but Cobb retired Michael Bourn on a flyout and reliever Joel Peralta came in to strike out Swisher and end the inning. In his career against Peralta, Swisher is 2-for-19 with eight strikeouts.
Tampa Bay added an unearned run in the ninth inning on an RBI single by Yunel Escobar.
Rays closer Fernando Rodney struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth in a non-save situation.
Lonnie Chisenhall went 3-for-4 for Cleveland. He also committed a ninth-inning error that led to a run. Carlos Santana and Yan Gomez added two hits apiece for the Indians.
Jennings collected two of Tampa Bay's eight hits.
NOTES: Salazar, 23, was the youngest pitcher to start a postseason game for the Indians since LHP CC Sabathia, then 21, started Game 3 of the 2001 AL Division Series against the Seattle Mariners. ... Andre Thornton, a four-time All-Star first baseman and designated hitter for the Indians in the 1970s and '80s, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Jim Thome, the Indians' all-time leader in home runs, also was in attendance. ... Entering the game, 13 of Tampa Bay 3B Evan Longoria's 18 postseason hits were for extra bases. ... Zobrist went 1-for-4, extending his postseason hitting streak to eight games, the second longest in club history behind a nine-game streak by B.J. Upton.

Athletes dancing Gangnam Style.
Today is the last day of competitions and soon we will all go home. But I know that whenever I hear the song Gangnam Style I will always remember PyeongChang 2013! Over this past week of intensive competitions this song has united athletes, coaches, families, fans, volunteers and officials together in a spirit of fun and celebration. No matter where it has been played (and its been played a lot!) - in stadiums, ski slopes, conferences and dining areas - it never fails to get everyone up off their seats dancing and having fun. Koreans have a great sense of humour so they have really enjoyed watching visitors from all over the world having a go at Gangnam Style. Both music and sport have the ability to unite people and communities. And in PyeongChang we have been fortunate to experience the power of both. It has really been a memorable part of the Games!

Deformation of a Thermomechanical Microvalve
Application ID: 482
Active microvalves are common components in microfluidic systems. In a thermomechanically actuated microvalve, an electric current generates movement by resistively heating the actuator structure, thereby causing mechanical stress and deformation.
This example shows how you can couple the microvalve's resistivity to a temperature field, to model the deformation and valve movement. Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the phenomenon, the parametric solver is used to 'step' your way to the final solution. The microvalve is modeled in 2D and 3D.

JoeHairGreyCurly HairFine or Thin HairGreat Product!!!I have been using product for several years. Love it! Purchased product from salon distributor, and recently found out they discontinued carrying product.. But thankfully found product on line and purchased directly.Tried many products for years and was never satisfied. until I found this gel.

CarlaHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairBest Gel For Thinning, Limp Hair!I have used many gel products for styling over the years, but Folicure Texturizing Gel is the absolute best. It does exactly what it says. My hair had been damaged by illness and meds, was falling out and became limp. My hair looks fuller, styles beautifully and without the hard, flaky and helmet head look! My hairdresser was very impressed with how healthy my hair now looks and feels.posted May 2, 2011Link to this post
CurtisNot Too Bad!I've been using this gel for about 4 months now. Overall I like it, no heavy purfumes, and very thick,,doesn't feel watered down. The hold is pretty decent without hardness in general but doesn't bounce back incredibly well. Overall a decent gel above what you'd buy in your regular drug store, and can compete well with salon quality gels I've purchased in the past.posted Apr 15, 2010Link to this post
BrittanyWest Chester, PAPretty GoodI bought this product because a friend of mine told me that it helps with hair growth in protecting your hair that is severly color treated. Its so far so good and Im noticing that its keeping the new growth from my perm pretty in control.(Im bi-racial and I relax my hair, pretty regularly) My hair isnt so frizzy and I havent had to flat iron it so much. Ive been pleasantly surprised and Im going to get the shampoo next.posted Feb 1, 2007Link to this post

StaceyTacoma, WADon´t BotherThis is the worse excuse for gel that ôve ever experienced.

Who would have thought the best P&R PG and the best P&R C in the league would be terrible at it together.
SpencerHarrison wrote:I have a problem. I like the idea of Steve Nash, but I can't for the life of me figure out what he actually brings to this team besides intangibles.
He can KIND OF score decently when he makes it a priority. But otherwise, here's what Nash on the floor gets you:
*Instant defensive switch on PnR. You screen him, hes gone. Easy to switch matchups all night long or just blow by him.
*Smaller, older and slower.
*Turnover prone.
What positives does he give you? What matchup problems does he create? I see him fumbling inside on drives, throwing possessions away, airballing shots, missing floaters and 3 pointers, etc.
With Blake all I see is smart ball movement, crisp passes and good decision making.
There was a good argument for why all of this is happening that I read here, but the fact remains:
Steve Nash isn't particularly good or effective on either end of the floor for this team.
And yes, this comes on the heels of maybe his most complete statistical game against Golden State. But I still stand by this.
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter 1m
Nash tried to get ready to return, but D'Antoni said it wouldn't have been fair to him. He does expect Nash to start on Saturday.
RT @LakersReporter: Steve Nash (hip, back) also received treatment today; he's listed as "questionable" for tomorrow's game.
