Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Pretty weak single-player, but really fun with friends. It's sort of Smash Bros-esque but the gameplay feels more like a party game as it relies on mini-games more than anything. Sort of a weird gameplay style, but it has a lot of potential if you get used to it. (owned, not completed. Accurate score is 6.75)

power saving on geforce 7400 go
I was wondering if there is some way to put the gpu of the mobile nvidia cards into power saving mode with the solaris driver.
I found no power saving related options in the configuration panel, is there anything that can be turned on somehow to make more options availabe?
While googling about it, I found some info about OverClocking features of the driver, is this available for the solaris driver and could it be used to somehow get the gpu to consume less power?
[Edit:] Figured out how to activate the Coolbits overclocking functions, unfortunately they aren't working for Geforce 7400go so underclocking the card won't work.

For some reason I follow Kansas head coach Bill Self on Twitter. Don't ask me why, I, along with 62,000 other people, just do. Today while scanning my timeline I stumbled across the above tweet and did a serious double-take. In one of the most hard-to-read tweets I've seen from anyone over the age of 12, Bill Self is congratulating former Jayhawk Mario Chalmers on the fact that his jersey is being retired at KU. Here were the first two responses: Apparently Self got the message and posted a rebuttal about a half hour later: Now by no means is this one a grammatical masterpiece, but it is definitely an improvement. Kansas fans were probably so pumped to see him crawling out of the Twitter cracks after such a long hiatus. However, seeing all of this backlash don't be surprised if Self falls right back into Twitter hibernation for another few months. [@CoachBillSelf] Filed under: Basketball, NCAA

Shiftby Tim Kring
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A new caliber of thriller set at the collision of '60s counterculture and the rise
of dark forces in world government. Heroes creator Tim Kring injects history with a supernatural, hallucinogenic what-if.
Set in the crucible of the 1960s, Shift is the story of Chandler Forrestal, a man whose life is changed forever when he is unwittingly dragged into a CIA mind-control experiment. After being given a massive dose of LSD, Chandler develops a frightening array of mental powers. With his one-in-a-billion brain chemistry, Chandler's heightened perception uncovers a plot to assassinate President Kennedy.
Propelled to prevent the conspiracy of assassination and anarchy, Chandler becomes a target for deadly forces in and out of the government and is pursued across a simmering landscape peopled by rogue CIA agents, Cuban killers, Mafia madmen, and ex-Nazi scientists…all the while haunted by a beautiful woman with her own scandalous past to purge, her own score to settle. Chased across America, will Chandler be able to harness his "shift" and rewrite history?
Combining the nonstop style of Ludlum with the sinister, tangled conspiracies of DeLillo and Dick, and featuring cameos from Lee Harvey Oswald to Timothy Leary to J. Edgar Hoover, Shift is a thriller guaranteed to be equal parts heart-stopping and thought-provoking.
"At the start of this unsuspenseful alternative history thriller from TV screenwriter and producer Kring (Heroes) and Peck (Body Surfing), 1,963 people see an apparition of an oversized flaming boy in the Dallas sky at 11:22 a.m. on December 30, 2012. These numbers correspond to the year, month, and day of President Kennedy's assassination. Flashback to Cambridge, Mass., in October 1963: an attractive woman in the pay of the CIA seduces Harvard grad student Chandler Forrestal, a nephew of Truman's defense secretary, so she can slip him some LSD. The Company believes the drug allows those who take it to access a secret part of the brain known as the Gate of Orpheus. The authors score points for originality in mixing LSD with the events and usual suspects, including the Mafia and J. Edgar Hoover, leading up to Dealey Plaza and the fatal day, but their implausible hidden history of how the world works never coheres. (Aug.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
From Kring, the creator of "Heroes," and Peck comes a new caliber of thriller set at the collision of 1960s counterculture and the rise of dark forces in world government. "Shift" is part one of the Gate of Orpheus trilogy.
About the Author
"From acid induced mind control to covert operations in Cuba, from a missing nuclear weapon to mass hallucinations, SHIFT runs a gamut that your inner conspiracy theorist will find delightful and provocative...reading SHIFT is like fighting a featherweight boxer. Always moving, constantly on its toes, it peppers you with small punches until, eventually, you succumb and it delivers the knockout. But oh, what a fight, and certainly one that is enjoyable and frenetic from start to finish...For an engaging romp through the '60s that never were, look no further than SHIFT."--Book Page

One Week in Utah
This is a brief write-up of my trip to the Moab area during Thanksgiving week in 2010. I trailered my XR650R down for a week of mild trail exploring. I didn't do any extreme trails, or venture into any remote areas, I just sampled some of the routes available to bikes.
My first stop was Grand Valley OHV area near Grand Junction Colorado. This is 16+ square miles of open riding on badlands type terrain:
After about 3 hours I headed back to my car for lunch. I actually had to use my GPS to find my way back, as there are no straight trails or roads amongs the hills.
After lunch I decided to venture out of the open area and follow the Bookcliffs west. It took awhile, but I eventually picked up a hydro line trail going west. I was looking for the Hunter Canyon trail and after some trail and error, found it (there are no signs-I should have scoped in out in Google earth and downloaded some waypoints).
Hunter Canyon has been described as a rock crawling trail. I found it similiar to the Kane Creek trail near moab. I found it to be easy in the first few miles, before it narrows down. It appeared there had been recent snowfall and I was soon riding over solid ice and snow- covered rocks- at this point I decided to turn back and find a different route into the Bookcliffs.
Hunter Canyon:
The travelled further west and picked up some designated single track. The Fruita area is famous for its MTB trails, however the best trails are non-motorized. What's available for dirtbikes is okay, but nothing special:

RR Continued:
I still wanted to get up into the Bookcliffs, so after some singletrack I headed to Coal Gulch road. This road ascends to the top of the cliffs and is a bladed and maintained road. I ran into patches of snow and mud but managed to maintain a steady upward pace:
I continued on up some switchbacks and noticed that conditions were getting steadily worse. From the road surface I could tell that only two 4x4 trucks had come this way recently, their tires leaving deep ruts in the road. I figured if they made it, so could I! I was in a hurry as it was 3:30pm and my car was along way off. I had been told about a singletrack trail coming down off the Bookcliffs, and I wanted to ride this down before dark.
The mud was so slippery on the incline that I decided to ride in one of the ruts, where traction was abit better. I struggled on, using my feet to paddle. After awhile I noticed my boots becoming very heavy. The rear wheel was frequently cutting loose and then all forward motion ceased. I revved the bike up but the bike wouldn't move. I leaned over to take a look and was immediately horrified.
The wheels were so covered in mud they were almost unrecognizable, they just looked like two chocolate donuts. There was a huge glob of mud jammed between the top of the front wheel and the fender, so big that it was stopping the wheel from turning! I realized then that I had blundered into "Gumbo" mud. I had read about this but never encountered it before. This was the reason that some desert roads are marked "Impassable when wet"
It was 4:00pm now and sunset was not too far off. I frantically tried to pull off as much mud as I could. The stuff was incredibly sticky and slippery. After clearing the clog in the front wheel I checked over the rest of the bike. The area behind the countershaft sprocket cover was jammed solid, and there were two perfect 6" long "extrusions" coming from holes in the cover. The wheel rims were not visible at all. I used the rest of my strength to pull the bike out of the rut and turn it round.
I was worried now. My car was 30-40 miles off, it was getting dark and alot of my bikes moving parts were coated in sticky mud. I didn't take a picture as I had lost a camera before to handling it with muddy hands. I started to ride back down as fast as I could. At the first turn I pulled the front brake lever in all the way to the bar! Great, no front brakes!! I moderated my speed and tried to use compression braking.
On the way down I continued to pump the front brake lever, and managed to get some braking effect. I hit a patch of snow too fast and went down hard. After picking myself up I calmed down abit, and realized it was going to be a late night. This was exactly the type of start to a riding trip I was hoping to avoid.
I made it down out of the Bookcliffs and decided to head for Fruita instead of riding trails back to Grand Junction. This was the right decision as I hit reserve before town. I gassed up in Fruita, cleaned my bike off abit, and decided to take the interstate back. Some of the front brake had come back, and I figured a high speed run would help fling the mud off.
It was completely dark when I made it back to my car. I barely had the strength to load the bike up! From then it was on to Moab, a 30 minute bike wash,and another 30 minutes of picking mud off my bike. The front brake was at about 50%, but I was too tired to work on it. End of day one.

Ride Report continued-Day 2
My front brake was still at 50% in the morning and I had to make a decision-work on it or just take a chance and ride. I decided to go riding. I didn't want to do anything too technical, so I chose Black Dragon Wash in the San Rafael Swell. This trail connects up with the Swasey's leap and Mexican Mountain trails. Overall this was an easy day of riding.
I finished up the day with a trip down the road known as the "squeeze" (Don't ask me why its named that):
After I snapped this last shot I noticed my rear tire was flat as a pancake. I sensed another late night coming. As it was 4:30 I decided to limp back to my car-only about 10 miles. On a more positive note my front brake was back to its full strength. I'm not a fast tire changer and it took me 2 hours back at the hostel to change the tube. To my concern I could not find what caused the flat. Exhausted again I decided to call it a night.
End of Day 2-to be continued

My rear tire was still holding full pressure in the morning so i decided to head north to the White Wash area. I didn't want to take the long way (hwy 191 to I70 to ruby ranch road) so I drove in on hwy 313 and parked along a turnout. After riding north abit i came to some nice slickrock:
I continued north and crossed Levi Wells Road. I picked up some singletrack which led me onto some slickrock near Duma Point. This section of slickrock was quite large and there were only a few rock cairns to point the way. I went in a few miles before deciding to backtrack off the slickrock so I could ride more singletrack.
Slickrock near Duma Point:
I headed back east on an unmarked road. I wasn't following any maps, just riding until I picked up some singletrack. I soon found some and followed these for awhile:

Day 3 continued
I had never seen the White Wash Sand dunes before so I exited the singletrack and followed the signs to the dunes. Just before I got there abit of a squall broke out and the wind starting blowing hard. I was stuck in abit of a sandstorm:
I couldn't really do any riding there so I followed the boundary of the open area west until I found an opening in the fence. It was 3:30 now and I figured I could go straight south and link up to where I was earlier in the day on the Duma Point slickrock. It looked like only a few miles...
The designated singletrack led south up onto the slickrock. The route became difficult to follow, with only a few scattered rock cairns and painted dashes on the rock. This was very similiar to the Slickrock trail in Moab, except more difficult. I dropped my bike a few times.
The time was wearing on but I was making steady progress. After I cleared a ridge I could see a deep wash separating the slickrock I was on from the section I had to get onto. I was only 1/2 mile from where I had to be but it was 4:30 so I pressed on quickly. The trail led down near the wash and then disappeared! The walls of the wash were aroudn 20 ft high and very vertical. After circling a few times I spotted some tracks in the dirt and followed them along the top of the wash. I got a sinking feeling when I realized I was following the tracks made by a single bike!
I didn't want to turn back so I pressed. I squeezed through this openign and knew for sure I was not on the rdesignated route:
I kept going for another few hundred yards before the tracks led to a very steep decline down to the wash. It was about a 70 degree slope and I didn't want to risk riding it. It was almost dark now and I still had to rejoin the slickrock on the other side. I pushed the front wheel over the edge dumped it over. It didn't slide too far down the slope. I climbed down and dragged the bike by the front wheel to the bottom of the wash. I was getting really nervous at this point. I still had to restart my bike and make my way back onto the slickrock. If it got too dark I would never be able to follow the markings on the bare rock.
Restarting a dumped XR always takes awhile, so I took my knapsack, jacket and helmet off while I hurriedly kicked my bike over. After 5 minutes it started up. I threw on my gear and took off. The trail followed the wash bottom and kept going for quite awhile. I could tell from my GPS that I was going away from the slickrock, I figured that wasn't a problem, as long as I hit a road. After a few miles I saw tracks veering off to the left. I followed these and with huge relief came up to this gate:
Not out yet! Day 3 to be cont'd

RR cont'd
RR cont'd day 3
After I got through the gate I picked up a jeep road. I had waypointed my car on my GPS so finding it in the dark would not be a problem. There was a network of single lane dirt tracks, so I just took turns that would lead back in that general direction. After about 15 minutes I relaxed and stretched abit-but my back felt light. Where was my knapsack?? I realized in my haste I had left it behind where I had dumped my bike! it was going to be another late night!
I now had to retrace my route all the way back-this time in total darkness. The route back up the wash was abit tricky, as other dirtbike tracks branched off into other side washes. I eventually found my way back and scooped up my knapsack. Trailriding at night is quite eerie. My view on the way back was essentially this:
Day 4
The weather forecast had called for overcast skies and light snow but when I woke up the next day the sky was blue and clear. I decided to take advantage of the weather break and drive to Temple Mountain in the San Rafael Swell. My goal would be do ride the "Behind the Reef Trail". I unloaded at Temple Mountain and took a quick spin around the small mountain. I got sidetracked abit and came across a small herd of cows. Normally I just ride slowly forward and the herd would part slowly. One cow, however, bolted, and ran down the wash I was riding in. I followed slowly, figuring the cow would leave the main wash to get away from me. It must have been really spooked because it kept running full tilt down the main route! I stopped my bike for a few minutes to let it get away. I restarted and after a few turns found it cornered in the wash by a closed cattle gate. The cattle gate was the flexible barbed wire type, just made up of three rows of wire. It was a wide wash so I edged slowly forward hoping it would just go around me. I didn't get the expected response...
The cow had a look of terror in its eyes and darted left then right then it charged the barbed wire gate! It attempted to jump it but it's back legs caught the wire. I was totally flabbergasted-the top wire must have been 3 feet off the ground. I had never seen a cow leap like that before! Things got worse when it tried to free itself from the wire. All the wires had come down and it was twisting itself round trying to free itself but it just made it worse. It had actually wrapped itself up in the wire! I watched horrified, expecting one of the barbs to slice open its throat. After twisting around for abit it calmed down and actaully sat down:
I dismounted and approached the cow, figuring I might be able to somehow free it. It leapt up at my approach and again started to twist and buck in the wire. I backed off and went back to my bike. I opened my toolkit and looked for something to cut the wire with. The only thing I found was a needle file... I realized I could not leave the cow like that. I had no cellphone signal and the nearest town was Hanksville. That would really put a dent in my riding day. I started to gear up and when I looked up the cow had partially freed itself with only its front legs trapped. I pushed my bike around, looked back again and saw the cow running away! With relief I took alook a closer look at the barbed wire gate. There were tufts of cow hair on the barbs but no blood. Cows must have tough hides!
I decided to turn around and head for the Behind the Reef Trail.
Day 4 to be continued...

Dya 4 Cont'd
I followed one of the major gravel roads south. There were numerous trailheads and I sampled parts of the Waterfall single track trail and Little Wild Horse Mesa trail before continuing south to the start of Behind the Reef. This trail starts off quite narrow and immediately rewards you with the following views:
The next section of trail was the most scenic I had ever seen in the San Rafael Swell. The trail was cut into the side of a huge canyon wall and offered views down into a huge chasm. The pictures do not do it justice.
The trail terminated near the Hidden Splendor Mine. I had the option of riding the trail in reverse, however it would have been significantly harder. After checking out the mine I opted to take the major gravel roads back to Temple Mountain. Along the way I did check out this wash, which on the map is listed as a county road!
I did a few more trails around Temple Mountain before packing up. It was after dusk before I started driving. The paved road out of the swell and Goblin valley was a bit scary at night. It is open range and cows were milling about everywhere. In 2007 I had hit a cow while driving out of Canyonlands on hwy 313 at night. I slowed down to 35 mph but the scary things is that is even too fast. I passed a black cow standing on the shoulder of the road and I didn't see it until I was almost past it! Black cows just look like like shadows when you're driving at night. I would caution anyone about driving at night on open range.

Day 5
Day 5
My plan to ride Lavendar & Horse Canyon in Canyonlands National Park fell through when I learned both trails were still closed due to storn damage. I decided to try Poison Springs Canyon, which would lead into the Maze district of Canyonlands. Trailhead information:
I had done some research on this trail and thought I could cover alot of ground. My quick pace diminished when I actually got into the canyon itself. The 4x4 road existed in bits and pieces only, and most of the time I was riding in the river bottom. There was no evidence of any truck or ATV travel, only bike tracks.
It was fairly tedious picking a path through the river bottoms:
I took one spur which climbed out of the canyon. I wanted to see the Dirty Devil River from higher up.
The trail led further upwards, but was blocked by a landslide around this corner:
This spur had eaten up a fair bit of time and I quickly backtracked to the main trail down Posion Springs Canyon. It appears a flash flood had swept away these posts and steel cables. I guess the BLM put them there to control travel.
I reached the Dirty Devil River a few minutes later and checked out the river ford:
Again this was different from the pictures I had seen of this crossing. There were no ATV or truck tracks. Crossing it would involve riding through the river and going up a steep 8 ft embankment. It looked like a group of 6 bikes had gone through recently. The water was at least 8" deep. I studied the crossing for awhile, looking for other options. It should be a piece of cake, but I was getting a really bad vibe from it. Feeling totally neutered, I decided to turn back. For each of the last 4 days something had gone wrong, and I wanted at least one day to be normal! I rode back to my car and actually made it back to Moab in daylight.

Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience
The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience (informally, The Wing[1]) is located in Seattle, Washington's Chinatown-International District. A Smithsonian Institution affiliate, it is dedicated to engaging the public to explore issues related to the culture, art and history of Asian Pacific Americans. It is the only pan-Asian Pacific American community-based museum in America, highlighting the issues and life-experiences of one of the fastest-growing racial groups in the United States[2] In February 2013 it gained recognition as one of two dozen "affiliated areas" of the U.S. National Park Service.[1]
The museum is named in honor of the late Seattle City Council member Wing Luke, who was the first Asian American elected to public office in the Pacific Northwest. Luke suggested the need for a museum in the C-ID in the early 1960s to preserve the history of the rapidly changing neighborhood. After Luke died in a small plane crash in 1965, friends and supporters donated funds to start the museum he envisioned. The Wing Luke Memorial Museum, as it was first named, opened in 1967 in a small storefront on 8th Ave.
Initially the museum focused on Asian folk art, but soon expanded its programming to reflect the diversity of the local community. Almost from the beginning art was integral to its programming and the museum served as a venue for emerging local artists. By the 1980s pan-Asian exhibits generated by community volunteers became central to the museum.
In 1987 The Wing Luke moved to a larger home on 7th Ave and updated its name to Wing Luke Asian Museum. It achieved national recognition in the 1990s under the direction of local journalist Ron Chew, a pioneer of the community based model of exhibit development that placed personal experiences at the center of exhibit narratives. Today the museum continues to present exhibits and programs that promote social justice, multicultural understanding and tolerance.
In 2008 the museum relocated to its new much larger home at 719 S King St, housed in the renovated 1910 East Kong Yick Building. The new Wing Luke Asian Museum continues its work addressing civil rights and social justice issues while also preserving historic spaces within the building including the former Gee How Oak Tin Association room, the Freeman SRO Hotel, a Canton Alley family apartment, and the Yick Fung Mercantile.[3][4]
In 2010 the museum changed its official name to the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, informally "The Wing."[5]

Very Pretty!
These curtain panels have a beautiful texture and design. I got the ivory panels with the burgundy flowers. They're light without being flimsy. Very happy with them!Read More
Exactly what I wanted
I needed something that would cut down on sunlight, but still be sheer. These are perfect for what I wanted.Read More
Really cute
looks great in my bedroom, I'm pleased.Read More
It's okay.
I bought it as a curtain for the glass door and it is a shame they didn't back them with something. The embroidery is actually quite good quality and the metallic gold thread is very pretty, but the lack of a back panel was a poor choice in the construction phase. I will attach a back panel to mine.Read More
Pretty, But Flimsy
These panels are very pretty and seem to be well-made, however, they are so very sheer! The fabric is flimsy and for some reason I thought they would have more of a sheen. Nice embroidery on the flowers, though.Read More
I got these as a divider for my studio apartment (to hide the bedroom area). I bought 2 pairs, so I thought, one for the room and one for the windows. My fault, I did not read the fineprint. It's only one panel. I am glad I did not read the fine print because if I knew I would not have bought them. Too expensive. The fabric is sure beutiful. I got cinnabar and they are dark burgandy red with a cinnamon tone in them, they are shiny and kind of thin. Looks fancy but I dont think they are the best quality. I like them a lot and will keep the two panels in my bedroom and buy some cheaper curtains for my windows.Read More
I really liked the quality; the color and the material of this curtain. The advertisement, however, is a little ambiguous. It shows a set of curtains and when I ordered, I assumed that I was getting a 'set' but no, I got 2 panels. So, I'm ordering another 2 panels to cover my patio door. My mistake in not realizing this. Also, they ought to make it in a pair and have one panel a mirror image of the other rather than all panels having the same design on each curtain in the same place situated in the same place on each curtain. But the price was fantastic for what I received.Read More
Embroidered Curtains
Beautiful curtains! I bought the sage ones, and they are slightly darker in color than appears on the website. The embroidery is lovely. I bought two separate panels to cover two separate windows, and they look like tapestries. Just the effect I was looking for! Considering the fabric itself, I would have hoped for something a little more silky feeling and a little more fluid. But other than that, I'm happy with the purchase.Read More
Amazing and affordable
I bought the sage curtains last year, hoping for the best on short notice. Well these curtains did not disappoint. They are absolutely lovely, better than in the picture. They are high quality, spun with a sheen to the thread that is absolutely beautiful and have held up great. I would pair with a liner for complete privacy as these are somewhat light-filtering (though not sheer!). I really could not believe how affordable they were for the quality. Well, we just bought our first home and these are the ONLY window coverings we bought (and we've purchased quite a few) that will be coming with us.Read More
Gorgeous Curtains
I bought 10 panels for my living room and dining room since they are open to each other. These curtains are beautiful. I absolutely love them and I have had a lot of compliments on them. My only complaint is that when you have a print design kiddy korner from each other (top right corner and lower left corner) you should make left and right panels. That might seem like a weird request but I would have liked to have had the flowers on the top outside corners. You can't do that with these.Read More

The description of the panels say they feature a 3" rod pocket and don't require drapery rings, yet the picture of the curtains show them hanging on rings..................and why don't you have a mirror image so when you buy a pair, the flowers are on opposite ends......
Hello, bailyfratus. Hope your day is going well. The photo is displaying how the item will look with rings. But since the item has a rod pocket, rings are not required and are suggested only as an option. This item is available only with the flowers placed as displayed. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
These panels do have a 3" pocket and can use a rod. I Bought the Cocoa Dome Curtain Rod Set and it fits them perfectly. No ring are needed. But for a change in looks you can use the rings and the rods with them too.
What color is the drapes in the larger picture? I can't decide if its brown or eggplant. And when ordering, I have a large picture window and usually need four panels, how many should I order? Thanks,
The drapes in the larger picture is chocolate I would stick with buying the 4 panels. Thank you for your question.
I agree, you will need four. Just keep in mind, this pattern is not a mirror image. It will be repeated four times across your picture window.
I just received a delivery of these curtains. I wanted the ivory but the color is more beige and I'm not sure I like it. Is there anything else in an ivory family that is similar. The curtains are very nice; it's just the color that's office.
Im sorry that is the lightest color we have in those curtains.
Are these sheer or not sheer. I just bought some curtains from Brylane Home and they did not say that they were see through. I am very interested in these curtains so please send me an answer ASAP.
The curtains are not sheer, but do filter light somewhat: For complete privacy, you can pair them with curtain liners.
Is this panel lined?
No, this item is not lined.
I was interested in ordering this curtain in gold. But it didn't allow me to choose gold. Is the gold color sold out? Is there any way I can get it in the gold? Thank you
Items are restocked as we receive them. However, we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Feel free to check back with us periodically to see if the item is available.
is this come in 2 panels or one?

The worst quality of honey bought!!! Very disappointed of iHerb.com
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by 4829700715765365308 on Jun 17, 2014
I just received the shipment of 10 jars of Heavenly Organics Acacia Himalayan Raw honey and I was rather disappointed regarding the quality of the honey bought from this store. The honey inside all 10 jars were mostly crystallized which indicates that the honey remained on the shelf for many years or has been exposed to very low temperature. One of the jars was unsealed and the lid was previously opened. I have previously purchased 36 jars of this type of honey from the Heavenly Organics original website about two and a half years ago. I compared the quality of the last jar remaining from my previous purchase with the 10 iHerb.com honeys I received and I found that the latter honey jars had lighter color which raises questions regarding the originality of the Organic Acacia Himalayan Raw Honey. I give 1 star to iHerb.com for their proper packaging, but I hesitate in consuming this product.
As honey should be!

Posted by 4688287403555753809 on Nov 12, 2014
I have ordered this honey many times. Always satisfied, however these last 6 jars were awful. They were very very STIFF. I could not spoon them out well. I called and was told that it was ok the honey was still good. That was not the point. The reason I order this product is because it is NOT stiff. All of the other times it was fine. I was not offered replacement honey . It was suggested that I place it in warm water. REALLY!!! I will probably not order again.

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Join us today, September 30, 2014 as CURE Childhood Cancer honors Miley Parker. Join our fight as CURE's Kids Conquer Cancer One Day at a Time! Donate to Miley's fundraising page.
Miley, our six-year-old daughter, is a cancer survivor. At just seven months old, Miley was diagnosed with retinoblastoma. The doctors found a less than three-millimeter tumor in her left retina. To kill a tumor that was about the size of a sharpened pencil lead, our infant daughter endured six months of chemotherapy and nine laser treatments to her retina; targeted at burning the tumor away. The laser caused not only the tumor to die, but also scarred the area around the tumor that resulted in her having a blind spot in her left eye. We are very thankful that today she has great vision with both eyes. She wears protective glasses to prevent an accidental eye injury and we have patched her right eye for a few hours every day, for nearly five years, to keep her brain exercising her weaker left eye.
We now know that Miley's story is extremely unique. Her cancer was caught very early. Her doctors told us to, "expect, even plan on" more tumors. We refused to do that and truly, through God alone, she has never had another tumor develop.
Miley has been screened closely for the past five years because of the probability of another tumor developing or the original tumor recurring. In five years, Miley has had anesthesia 29 times for eye exams under anesthesia (EUA) to check for more tumors in her eyes and regrowth of the original tumor and has had 12 sedated MRI's to check for tumors outside of her eyes and in her brain, which are associated with retinoblastoma. We praise God that another tumor never developed and are thankful for the close watch her doctors have kept over her.
Today Miley is healed and a healthy six-year-old 1st grader. She is wise beyond her years. Miley loves her family and friends fiercely and is the best big sister to her little two-year-old brother, Eli. She loves life and Jesus Christ. She is cancer free and has been since March 30, 2009. We praise God with all of our being for the blessing of healing he gave to our daughter. Jeremiah 17: 14: "Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." We praise God for the gift of both of our children's lives, for the gift of all life, and our family is forever changed with hearts of daily gratitude.
Miley had ONE three-millimeter tumor. Miley's cancer was a "best case" scenario (if there is a thing with cancer). It was caught early, the treatment worked, and the cancer has not recurred; that is too often not the case with childhood cancer. Join us to raise funding for research for better treatments, less side effects, and for a cure. Thank you so much for all the support you have shown our family. Join us for a cure for all.

Beautiful inn with two very nice inn keepers, a quiet place to spend some time
5 sur février 26, 2015
We were only there for one night in winter which is not enough time. We did get to enjoy the delicious breakfast.
5 sur février 12, 2015
Amazing place, with great hosts, you will be living in 18th century with a royal breakfast. Loved everything about the stay from fresh homemade breads, and cookies to cozy(but not tiny) rooms. Ours had a separate entrance which was a plus if you want to have privacy. The Inn has lots of fireplaces and a pool table, that's an antique... There's a lot you can do in the area, so don't hesitate to try it out. Thanks again to Mark, Lynn and Sophie
5 sur janvier 19, 2015
The entire stay was amazing! The room, the food, and most of all the owners!! They are incredible people and make the place special!
5 sur décembre 17, 2014
The Inn had a lot of character and the owners were very accommodating. The breakfast was a 3 course breakfast that was to die for. I will definitely be back.
4,8 sur octobre 30, 2014
Long weekend in the fall, after everything in the area has closed. Lynne and Mark still went above and beyond to provide us a memorable weekend. Any lodge can provide a clean bed and shower, but there needs to be that 'little more' that makes it stand out, and encourages you to return. This place has it. I can write words that describe Marks breakfast feast - you'll just have to try it yourself! See you next year!
4,8 sur octobre 22, 2014
We found The Nutmeg Inn by chance online and couldn't be more thrilled. We will absolutely return. Lynn and Mark are so lovely, helpful and warm. The home is a historic jem! Lynn and Mark go out of their way to make your stay wonderful - especially their homemade breakfast which is beyond compare. I took recipes home! Can't wait to go back!
5 sur octobre 21, 2014
The nutmeg inn was everything we hoped for and more. Mark was an outstanding host. Took us on a tour and talked about the history of the nutmeg when we arrived. The food was gourmet quality and very unique. I would highly recommend the nutmeg and hope to return someday! The rooms were cozy, comfortable and picture perfect!
4,8 sur octobre 14, 2014
Though co-host Mark was wearing a temporary shin cast, this inn is hardly dragging its feet when it comes to charm, entertainment, breakfast, service, and history. Mark's sly wit warms up the welcome, as does the red-felt pool table guests can enjoy. There's a nice one-mile forested residential loop one can take to work up a breakfast appetite--you'll need it!
3,8 sur octobre 04, 2014
We stayed at The Nutmeg Inn for one night and had a great time! The hosts made you feel very welcome! Our room was clean and quaint! Had a great time!
4,6 sur octobre 01, 2014
We arrived at about 5 in the afternoon on Thursday and Mark was out in the driveway to greet us. We were in Meredith for a motorcycle weekend so Mark was talking about the bikes and riding. Shortly after Lynn came out also to greet us and talk. All in all we were all very satisfied with our stay there and will be going back.
5 sur septembre 29, 2014
We stayed at the Nutmeg for 2 days. The room was amazing - we had a fireplace and a nice bed. We got great dinner recommendations both nights, had lovely breakfast on both days, and could have coffee, tea, water, soda, and snacks anytime we wanted. The Inn is very historical and an interesting place, and Mark, the host, was great.
5 sur septembre 24, 2014
The Nutmeg Inn is a friendly comfortable place where you can feel at home. Mark and Lynne are very accommodating and friendly. Even though this is a historic home the place is very pleasant and up to date and especially clean. Thank you for your great hospitality we will definitely spread the word and make a return trip
4,4 sur septembre 21, 2014
We only stayed one night and had to leave early in the morning before breakfast. Mark was great, making sure we had something to eat before we left. The service was outstanding! Can't wait to go back again.

The room was wonderful loved the bathroom size. Room was very comfortable.Service was impeccable, gracious hosts and exemplary stay. Will try and return.

Historical facility with reflections of early New Hampshire life surrounded by artifacts that create an ambiance of an era gone by. Wonderful stay; very comfortable and serene. Will be going back for sure !!!
4,8 sur août 26, 2014
Perfect place for a quick getaway... Can't wait to go back!!
5 sur août 20, 2014
We stayed for two nights in the suite. The property is lovely, and the hosts even better. It's a nice Colonial property with a lot of history, nicely and cozily decorated. The place is quiet with pretty surroundings. The hosts are wonderful, and do everything to make sure you enjoy your stay and have everything you need. This includes fresh-cut flowers in your room, care-package breakfast (I had to leave at 5 am for a race), and they are so friendly and accommodating, I felt I was at home. I will go back next year. A++ experience all around! I wish I could have stayed longer.
5 sur août 19, 2014
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Nutmeg Inn. Lynne and Mark were so nice and helpful, they made us feel right at home! The breakfasts were amazing- decadent peach french toast, pesto stratta, and fresh sourdough bread! We will definitely recommend the Nutmeg Inn others!
4,8 sur août 11, 2014
We recently stayed overnight at this historic inn (our second visit) in the Thyme room, which was very spacious and comfortable (accommodated three of us). Mark was gracious and friendly as always and even prepared the breakfast we requested for our son's birthday (banana-stuffed French toast--yummy!). The cold fruit soup and homemade sourdough bread hot from the oven was superb! Mark, thanks for another great stay!
5 sur juillet 26, 2014
This little inn was very comfortable and welcoming, so much so that we wanted to move in permanently. From the beautiful room to the scrumptious breakfast, everything offered went above and beyond the normal level of quality of such a place. We would go back in a heartbeat.
5 sur juillet 23, 2014
We stayed at the inn for two nights this July and really enjoyed our visit. We stayed in the Rosemary room. It was very large and had a wonderful view of the yard and pool. The inn was spotless, the breakfasts were wonderful and the hospitality provided by our host Mark was so special. We will definitely keep this spot in mind in our future travels through NH. Thanks again !

The room itself was wonderful however the bathroom was very small with a vanity that seemed jammed in between the toilet and the shower. Also our room had one fire log but no matches in the container. The inn keepers were very nice and they even had a tray with just about anything you could have forgotten complimentary even though stores aren't far. The rooms and the common areas of the inn were very clean. I feel like if you had a group of people in separate rooms you could have a lot of fun in the common areas. If the room had a better bathroom situation I would say it would meet my expectations as far as value is concerned but the bathroom being tiny made the room seem overpriced. As for the food, it was pretty tasty. Fresh homemade bread and granola, cinnamon buns, fruit with some kind of cream dollop, and an egg casserole. It was all very good though the casserole had a bit more in it than I'd have liked and didn't seem to have much egg.
4,4 sur juin 08, 2014
We spent a rainy few days in Meredith NH. Mark and Lynne made our stay welcome and pleasant. The food was extraordinary! The the company was fantastic. I recommend the Nutmeg Inn if you are staying in Meredith!
5 sur juin 04, 2014
This place is beautiful! We were greeted by Mary, the most helpful and energetic person you would ever want to meet. She showed us all around and told us lots of history about the inn. The owners of the inn are warm and welcoming as well. We had the Teaberry room. This room has its own private entrance out to a deck. It was decorated in white wicker. Very lovely and romantic. The food was incredible. There was so much of it as well. They even had snacks out during the day if you needed a little something to nibble. We loved this place.

My wife and I planned a long awaited vacation to New England and chanced upon the Nutmeg Inn. It was a wonderful find. Mark, the Innkeeper went out of his way to call and check on our arrival time and plans. We arrived well before dinner and had plenty of time to learn the history of the Nutmeg Inn and its amazing past. Mark was awesome and a pure gentleman. We felt like long friends before we left. The breakfast we had cannot be given describe with any success. It must be only experienced. Mark awakes at 4:30 to make fresh bread each morning, and that was just part of the 4 courses of delight. We will be back when we adventure out this way. LOVED IT..thats all I can say

My husband and I have been to the Nutmeg Inn two times and it was absolutely wonderful. The Innkeepers, Mark and Lynne, are just fantastic. They made us feel right at home immediately. The Inn is gorgeous and so comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We have recommended the Inn to everyone we know!

Wonderful accommodations! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and to top it off our hosts Lynne and Mark were so friendly and pleasant to make sure we were totally satisfied with our stay at the Inn. Nestled in the hills of Meredith, NH, yet only minutes to all the attractions the area had to offer. Nutmeg Inn.........the best kept secret in New England, but not for long! Give it a try. We hope to make the trip again from Delaware in the future.

My fiance and I stayed two nights (mid-week) at this lovely B&B. Just finding that the structure is 250 years old blew me away! Improvements and structural maintenance have been carried out over the years, but the integrity of the Inn is phenomenal - such as original hand-hewn beams on the ceiling and original hardwood flooring. Each evening there was a beautiful fire in the main (original) fireplace where we could sit and play games or just relax. Our room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. I felt very "at home". I think it was named "Cinnamon". Mark, the proprietor, was a great guy. He was very warm and funny, always wearing his Hawaiian shirt! His cooking was great and creative as well! He always had homemade bread available along with other homemade snacks and drinks. The grounds are beautiful and we were a short drive to various towns and antique stores. I would definitely go here again maybe in the summer when I could enjoy the pool! We were there this fall to enjoy nice weather and beautiful fall foliage!
4,2 sur octobre 17, 2013
We stayed in the Parsley room for one night over leafing season. The owner of the property greeted us on arrival and gave us a very interesting history of the house. We were delighted to be offered free hot coffee, apple cider, home-made muffins and bottles of beer that are available to all guests. They have a beautiful pool table and we enjoyed playing on it. There is also a smaller TV room and board games available for entertainment. After the tour, we were shown our room which was probably the smallest in the house and furthest distance from the main entrance. The room was charming with nice bedding and sheets. The only thing we noticed was that the bathroom is very small - about the size of a very narrow hallway. We didn't take a shower there because it was too small. We liked the fact that they offered very nice toiletries though - and if you forget your toothbrush or toothpaste they have plenty. Breakfast is served relatively early for us - between 8-9:30am, although you can sit and stay past 9:30am at your leisure. You sit on communal dining tables and are served a few courses of what the kitchen has to offer. We loved the freshly baked bread and assortment of juices. The main meal was a sausage baked into a pancake served with maple syrup - a special recipe. We enjoyed breakfast - however we would have loved to eat some eggs, bacon, or vegetables which were not offered. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would come back. There is a lot to do in Meredith and the scenery is spectacular. The value for your money is also very good.
4,6 sur octobre 10, 2013
Lynne and Mark are simply outstanding hosts. The house is beautifull and incredibly well kept. Quality bed and linens (and we stayed in ginger which is one of their smaller rooms). Very copious breakfast. I don't really see what else we could ask for. Too bad we stayed there only one night. We'll be back!
4,8 sur octobre 07, 2013
An outstanding structure built before the US independence. Most important are the beds which are great. The owners care for detail far exceeds what you would find at your typical B&B. A fire in the fireplace morning and night adds to the ambiance. Better visit quickly before the local beer provided in the frig is gone.. .Don't be afraid to talk technical with the hostess. She is a retired scientist.

The Milwaukee Brewers have claimed infielder Cody Ransom off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks according to Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel. The Brewers were looking for an upgrade at shortstop since they lost Alex Gonzalez due to a knee injury adds Haudricourt. Ransom was hitting .269/.345/.577 with 4 HR's, 13 RBI's and a 145 OPS+ in 52 AB's with the Diamondbacks. That would be an improvement, at least offensively, for the Brewers' current shortstops Cesar Izturis, who is hitting .200/.235/.463 with a 27 OPS+ and Edwin Maysonet, who is hitting .143/.182/.286 with a 25 OPS+.

Remember when the Obama Administration attempted to make the 2013 government budget sequestration look like a bigger deal than it actually was by shuttering national monuments and keeping elderly veterans from visiting war memorials? Well, the Administration also used the feigned crisis to further its immigration agenda by releasing thousands of illegal immigrant detainees, including some convicted felons.
According to the IG report, a combination of increased apprehension of illegal immigrants in 2012 and forthcoming 2013 budgetary shortfalls — worsened by a glaring lack of a financial contingency plan — led top Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to deem a "sharp and immediate reduction in detention bed space" as the best plan to remain solvent.
As a result, Administration officials made the decision to release 2,226 detained illegal immigrants — including 617 with criminal convictions on record — as the drama surrounding the government shutdown reached critical mass in 2013.
The agency's budgetary justification for releasing the criminals was faulty, according to the IG report. The agency is required to be capable of maintaining an average daily illegal immigrant detainee population of 34,000. Congress covers the cost of 31,300 detainees. ICE is expected to obtain funding for the remaining detainees via budgetary juggling or requesting additional funding.
But as funding issues loomed in January 2013, ICE leadership seems to have jumped at the chance to release detainees rather than balancing the agency's books.
"Only after House appropriations staff informed ICE's Chief Financial Officer on January 31, 2013, that maintaining 34,000 average daily population is a statutory requirement did ICE executive leadership realize ICE would need to obtain additional funding to cover the detention budget shortfall," the IG report notes.
But ICE chief financial officer Radha Sekar, who was ultimately responsible for freeing the detainees, moved forward with the releases in February and March, even before it was clear whether the White House Office of Management and Budget would provide additional funds. The reason for the move remains unclear.
"We were not able to determine why ICE executive leadership did not wait for OMB to make a decision on releasing additional funding," says the IG report.
Raising further questions about the stated budgetary reason behind the detainee releases, 1,450 of the illegal immigrants were released during weekend hours. As a result, involved Federal employees received overtime pay at 23 of the 24 ICE facilities where illegal aliens were processed out.
ICE officials attempted to release the immigrants quietly into the U.S. to avoid public outrage; therefore, when news broke of the scheme, the political propaganda machine set into full motion at all levels of the Obama Administration.
In March 2013 Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano claimed that only hundreds, not thousands, of illegal immigrants were released. She also shrieked that the initial report — a product of The Associated Press — was inaccurate and hyperbolic.
As the border crisis continues, the IG report maintains that ICE is in no better place to deal with detained illegal immigrants now than it was in 2013:
Since the February 2013 releases, ICE has not improved communication or transparency with key stakeholders. Officials from DHS' CFO said they have difficulty obtaining sufficient information from ICE's CFO to conduct adequate oversight. The ERO officials we interviewed, including budget staff, said they did not have reliable information on available funding. ICE executive leadership's ability to track expenditures and available funding has not improved. After the budgetary releases, DHS transferred funding from other DHS components to fund detention bed space. Despite this transfer, ERO officials said ICE executive leadership instructed them several times to increase detention populations and then release detainees.
While the report outlines outrageous immigration irresponsibility in 2013 on the Administration's part, Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera suggested during a recent interview on Fox that releasing illegal aliens with criminal pasts has been institutionalized in the government's handling of the current border invasion.
"If they have family in the United States, they'll release them to the family, even if they're admitted gang members," he said. "We've had a couple that had admitted to murders in their home country. They were 17 years old, 16 years old, and the United States government thought it fit to release them to their parents here in the United States.
"Even if he's a confirmed gang member, a confirmed criminal even by self-admission, we for some reason don't send them back to their home country, we release them into our country."
