Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Super casual across from the beach. Best Pizza and great sandwiches with the fries "built-in". You can't go wrong here...
Posted by John G. from BOSTON on 08/31/2009
Very few places still make pizza like it was made on Revere Beach 20 years ago! This thin crust, piping hot, flavorful pizza brings back memories! Remember when your pizza had a couple of bubbles, dripped oil just a little bit, and had an aroma that would fill a room? You would fold a slice in half and flip in the tail before taking your first bite. This is the real deal. I've visited FLL 2 or 3 times a year, a week at a time for over 12 years, and my friends believe it is just to have this pizza! If you're over 40 and remember when pizza was good, try a slice at Primanti Brothers, you won't be disappointed!
Posted by Eric P. on 06/26/2009
Walked off the beach, across the street and into the Primanti Bros. Atmosphere was pretty casual, open air. Smaller booths. I sat at the counter. They had european football on television. I tried two slices of their pizza, which was served HOT. I am a self proclaimed pizza snob, and both were actually quite good. Service was on the spot! Negative is it is a cash only place. They do have an on site ATM however. Cheers!

2 tablespoons
coriander seeds, coarsely cracked
1/2 cup
firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup
soy sauce
1 tablespoon
lime juice
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 pinch
ground ginger
1 1/2 pounds
flank steak
Very delicious. I cooked it in the wok instead of the oven, since mine is not working. It was fantastic. I would make it again.
This was delicious! I subbed lemon juice for lime juice (because I didn't have any lime handy). I cooked left over london broil in the sauce on the stove top... and everyone loved it - including my 3 yr old and 6 yr old.
6 Ratings
Loved this simple flavorful recipe. Our grocer did not have flank steak so I got inside round marinating steak. The flank would probably have been better, but this was good. Other than reducing the recipe by half (for two people) and stir frying on high (in vegetable oil and a little sesame oil), I followed the recipe as written. My husband and I both loved the flavor. I marinated for a couple of hours, and served as shown in the photo...with fresh green beans and basmati rice. We both would have it again.
This is amazing. No need to broil, you can cook in a skillet over the stove. Amazing. Delicious. Would give 10 stars if possible.
Absolutely perfect! Delicious! Went well with the Asian Cucumber Salad also listed on All Recipes. Will make again for sure!

Here's what you need to know about the forthcoming Clement Street Farmers Market.
Oh look, from District One Supe Eric Mar:
"Thank you to Peter Lauterborn from my office, the Clement Street Merchants Assn, Argonne Community Garden, Peabody elementary school PTA, Argonne elementary school PTO and many others for working with the great folks from Marin Agricultural Institute to organize our community farmer's market! We are working hard to make it family friendly, and thanks to Foggy Notion, Seed Store, ParkLife, Green Apple, Cumaica Coffee House and Giorgio's Pizzeria and other businesses too for helping to make this successful! [Signed] Eric Mar, District 1 Supervisor. If you have any suggestions or questions – contact Peter at 415-554-7411 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com"
And "youthful" (I mean, his relatively short Wiki entry uses the term 14 times, right?) aide Peter Lauterborn speaks his piece here.
The thing is is that some businesses on 3rd Avenue, where a couple block will get shut down weekly, don't seem to be aware of the CSFM.
The Sloat Garden Center for one:
Click to expand
I myself have no particular beef with the new farmer's market* but I cry foul at the SFMTA-type, everybody's-a-winner, everybody-supports-this-new-thing, just-wait-until-you-see-the-transformation-of-the-Inner-Richmond style of campaign behind it.
Anyway, Lord knows that Sundays at that part of Clement can be a bit depressing, what with infrequent bus service, a number of empty parking spaces, and lots and lots of closed storefronts abutting a handful of thriving businesses.
(One assumes that most customers of the 3rd Avenue Burger King and Sloat Gardens will figure another way of getting to and fro asides from approaching from the north.)
*Indeed, I just might visit. Actually, I was out yesterday taking King and Messiah for a walk to a bakery on 3rd very near Clement.

Legislation that would allow the state to pay private school tuition fees for some low-income students who live in neighborhoods in which they are surrounded by failing public schools is wending its way through the Legislature.
Yesterday, some 50 advocates for public education rallied at Middle School 7 against the proposed legislation.
They said the proposed measure would drain public schools of much needed resources. State Sen. Ronald Rice of Newark said the effort was part of larger plot to privatize public education, public housing, roadways, and a host of other public entities.

This week the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps each announced an increase in the number of reservists on active duty in support of the partial mobilization. The net collective result is 4,053 more reservists on active duty than last week.
At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. Total number currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization for the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 144,153; Naval Reserve 2,535; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 11,704; Marine Corps Reserve, 8,381; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 1,543. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve on active duty to 168,316 including both units and individual augmentees.

The Public Safety Department encourages you to join us in our efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for you. Crime prevention and security awareness are self-serving qualities.
The following suggestions are offered for your safety and well being.
2. During move-in, do not leave property unattended in your car, on the sidewalk, in the
lobby, or in your unlocked room. Keep both car and room locked while unloading and
moving between the locations.
3. Get acquainted with your neighbors on your floor and in your building as quickly as
possible. Every resident has a role to play in security. Part of that role is to know who
belongs and who doesn't.
4. Always lock your door. Whether you are at home, "just down the hall for a minute", or out
of the building, always keep your door locked. Ask your roommates to do the same. If your
roommate is taking a nap when you leave - lock the door.
5. Recognize strangers and do something about them. If you feel comfortable in doing so,
ask them if you might help them. If not, report them to the Public Safety Office 464-8888.
6. Secure your personal property, especially expensive and easily transportable items. Lock
them up. Engrave items with unique identifiers
7. Do not allow entry into your complex to those whom you do not know. Don't let
them "tailgate" when you use your key or card to access entrance doors. Refer them to a
guest telephone. Have your key or card out and ready to use before you reach the front
8. Be assertive where security is concerned. You have both rights and obligations in this
regard. You have a right to expect your neighbors to follow good security practices and to
do things which protect your interests. You have an obligation to do the same for them.
Know who is on the other side before opening the door.

Strictly speaking the Birmingham and North Warwickshire
Railway, to give the line its correct title, runs from Tyseley to Bearley North
Junction. However, in the spirit of the Great Western Railway, who built the
line as part of a new route to the West of England, we have included stations
both north of Tyseley to Snow Hill and south of Bearley North Junction to
Pebworth - which was the last station within Warwickshire - to provide a
coherent route. This reflects the reality that the route from Snow Hill or Moor
Street to Pebworth and beyond was in fact made up of four routes built by
different companies over a period of fifty-five years.
From Snow Hill a passenger would travel to Tyseley on the
Birmingham and Oxford Railway's mainline then at Tyseley their train
would be carried over the Birmingham and North Warwickshire Railway's
line to Bearley North Junction where it would join the Stratford Railway
Company's branch from Hatton to Stratford upon Avon and finally from
Stratford-on-Avon they would travel south on the former branch of the
Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway's to Honeybourne now
upgraded with doubled track. As with many other railway initiatives the origins
of the Birmingham and North Warwickshire Railway lay with local
landowners and merchants seeking to provide a route that would provide benefit
to their commercial interests. Originally it was conceived as being a route
from a new terminus to be built at Moor Street to Stratford upon Avon from
where it would have running rights to traverse over the GWR's line to
Robert Ferris has been researching the route and has
unearthed the following contemporary articles. For information on the West of
England route through Warwickshire see the article on 'The North Warwickshire
Line' by Harold D Smith first printed in the Great Western Railway Magazine in
January 1908 and the 'Doubling of the Stratford-on-Avon Branch' by G H
Mackillop again from the Great Western Railway Magazine but their April 1908
edition. In addition, the GWR, as with all the railway companies, extensively
promoted places to visit by their railway services and Stratford upon Avon and
other areas within Warwickshire were no exception. Robert Ferris has
transcribed some extracts from contemporary GWR books and these can be read by
visiting the link to the GWR Publicity page below.

Frank Guridy discusses anthology on Latina/o life, stereotypes
ShelfLife blog post features Q&A with Associate Professor of History Frank Guridy.
Posted: April 12, 2011
Prof. Frank Guridy
The cover art for Beyond El Barrio: Everyday Life in Latina/o America features tall, spindly apartment complexes overlooking a street that disappears into the distance. The buildings are a reflection of barrios themselves: colorful, unbound by straight lines and rigid structures, each one different yet tied together as a community.
Frank Guridy, co-editor of Beyond El Barrio (NYU Press, 2010) and associate professor in the Department of History, set out to explore these notions of el barrio as both a place and a metaphor while attempting to address the negative connotations they often hold for outsiders.
What began as a project during graduate school more than a decade ago, has become a relevant collection of essays that approaches the many diverse Latina/o communities from an interdisciplinary angle.
Guridy recently answered a few questions for ShelfLife@Texas about Beyond El Barrio.
What prompted the creation of this anthology? Within our current culture, what makes this book especially relevant?
It started when I was in graduate school in 2000. The co-editors of the project and I had talked about the need for a book that combined and focused on the different Latino populations within the United States. We thought of what it would be like if we could bring together different works on these diverse communities into one book, from an interdisciplinary approach. So it started like that, a conversation.

By: Scott Theisen
The NAACP's St. Paul chapter is questioning the police version of events that ended with officers shooting and killing a man this week in a drug investigation.
The civil-rights group says damage to Terrance Gaddy's vehicle doesn't match police statements that Gaddy had used his vehicle as a weapon by ramming police vehicles and nearly pinning an officer.
Police Sgt. Paul Paulos tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press he can't discuss details of the case because of the ongoing investigation.
Gaddy was stopped in St. Paul on Tuesday after Minneapolis police suspected he was delivering crack cocaine. Police say they used their unmarked squad cars to block him in and he began to ram their vehicles.
A lawyer for Gaddy's passenger says that explanation doesn't match his client's version.

Andy's Lounge & Package

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33325
Have you ever wondered what it's like inside that sad-looking place underneath the billboard off Flamingo and 84 called Andy's Lounge? So did we. Lo and behold, it's pretty much the quintessential dive bar, featuring smoky atmosphere, pool tables, a decent beer selection, and a permanent cast of local characters babbling the stereotypical tales of inebriation. It's also open until 8 a.m., which is virtually unheard of, especially right smack in the middle of the suburbs.

But you know what does make me feel better, basically every time? A perfect egg.
|Seven-minute egg on mashed squash and cranberries.
There's more than one "perfect" egg: There's the hard-boiled with the creamy yolk so perfectly folded between two thick slabs of ciabatta. There's the soft-boiled broken over the sweet-savory flesh of a baked winter squash. There's the fried that tops a sizzling bowl of rice and seasoned vegetables shoveled quickly in chopstick-controlled heaps. The poached, floating gently in a vat of spicy tomato sauce and slopped over day-old bread or garlic-toasted quinoa.
Oh, eggs. Oh thank you.
If you want a recipe, I don't really have one. I don't have it in me. I do, however, have the secrets to making two of the perfect Perfect Eggs™: Hard- and soft-boiled.
|4 eggs
water to cover
ice-water bath
|Place eggs in an electric kettle and fill with cold water to cover, 1" above the eggs. Place the lid on the kettle and turn it on. Set a timer for 10 minutes but do not start it immediately. When you hear the kettle click off, start the timer and allow the eggs to sit in the water, undisturbed, until the alarm goes off. After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the kettle with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice-water bath for 5–7 minutes, or until they are completely cool. Peel and use as you like.
|4 eggs
water to cover
ice-water bath
|Set a timer for 7 minutes but do not start it immediately. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a quick boil on medium-high heat. Once the water starts to boil, gently—gently!—place eggs in the pot using a slotted spoon; immediately cut the heat and put the lid on the pot. Star the 7-minute timer and let the eggs sit undisturbed in the water. Once the alarm goes off, remove the eggs from the pot with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice-water bath for 3–5 minutes. Peel and use as you like.
You're welcome, though I hope you don't need all this as much as I do lately.
What's your favorite Perfect Egg™?

Submitted by John Stauber on
The Center for Media and Democracy and Free Press have filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission urging an investigation of the extensive airing of "fake news" by TV broadcasters who take government and corporate Video News Release (VNR) stories and run them unlabeled as real journalism. In just one week nearly 40,000 citizens have signed our petition calling on the FCC, Congress and local broadcasters to stop fake news.
The petition seeks to strengthen and enforce laws against government propaganda and demands "that the Bush administration stop using our tax dollars to create fake news reports." The Center and Free Press hope to gather a quarter million signatures and begin organizing citizens locally to meet with stations in their community to sign agreements to stop airing all VNRs unless they are clearly labeled and not pawned off as news.
Sheldon Rampton and I first reported on fake news over a decade ago.
Revelations over the past year have finally moved this issue into public
consciousness and we've already gathered 40,000 signatures on our petition. We have no illusions that the filing of this complaint will solve the
problem. This is a corruption now deeply embedded in TV media and corporate
and government propaganda practices. Fake news has been produced and aired
covertly for decades, and is now a business involving billions of dollars
for broadcasters, PR firms and their clients.>
Recent revelations in the print and on-line media, and the findings by
Congress's Government Accountability Office (GAO) that VNRs from the Bush
administration are illegal "covert propaganda," have created a unique
opportunity for activism. Our organization has moved rapidly with Free Press to build momentum both at
the regulatory level and most importantly among the grassroots public to
expose and stop fake news. This will continue to be a major focus of our
work and we are excited by the new momentum and awareness surrounding the
scandal of fake TV news. We hope to mobilize this growing public outrage
into real media reform.

Strange that it have noticed only then. Bush's administration already for a long time moved in this direction. Well and counterfeit news it already at all a rarity - probably all news counterfeit :)

There is much to learn about Christ's death which helps us prepare for the celebration of Easter.

Super sub Seb sees Bodmin through in league cup
Posted: October 25, 2013|
Bodmin Town 3 Camelford 1
Super sub Seb Broomfield scored an 82nd minute goal to finally calm the nerves of holders Bodmin as they made hard work of seeing off Camelford in the Throgmorton Cup tie at Priory Park on Friday night.
Broomfield rose to head in a pinpoint cross from Jonny Ludlam, ending the Camels' hopes after an impressive second half fightback.
Bodmin had made the perfect start to the second round clash with Lee Doel putting them ahead in the fifth minute following good work by Sam Matthews and Chris Wright.
And Wright made it 2-0 in the 26th minute with a wonder goal, hitting the ball on the run and on the volley from 20 yards and giving Camels keeper Josh Colwill no chance as the ball crashed into the far corner.
Ryan Pooley, who had been denied by the woodwork in the 17th minute, made no mistake after 57 minutes as he fired home a spectacular direct free kick from 25 yards to get Camelford back into the tie.
And the visitors came desperately close to equalising a minute later when Josh Insley was presented with an excellent chance ten yards out but his weak shot was saved by Bodmin keeper Kevin Miller.
The game swung from end to end in the final 20 minutes but it was to be Broomfield's header which sealed Bodmin's progress into the third round.
Bodmin: Miller, Podmore, Jewell, Chambers, Simmonds, L Doel, Matthews, Alexander, O'Hagan, Wright (Broomfield 74), Ludlam. Sub not used: Hodge.
Camelford: Colwill, Andrew (Flew 79), Carhart (H Hopcroft 85), Sandercock, Balsdon, Murt, Pooley, Sleep, Insley, B Hopcroft, Boxall (Frohlick 79).
Referee: Lee Roberts.

After The Artist won seven of the top prizes at Sunday's BAFTAs, we were pretty much ready to put all our money on the black-and-white silent French film to take home Oscar gold at the end of the month. But last night's victory for the movie made our decision final: Uggie won the first ever Golden Collar Award for Best Dog in a Theatrical Film. Well, duh. We're pretty sure that Dog News Daily came up with the idea for the awards show (held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City, California) when the 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier got onstage at the Golden Globes and stole the show.
Anyway, if the Critics' Choice Movie Awards and the BAFTAs are well-known predictors for Oscar glory, then this new ceremony is surely nipping at their heels. And that apparently has Hugo director Martin Scorsese worried. He (jokingly, we think) launched a successful campaign to get his movie's Doberman pincher Blackie a last-minute nomination.
Other winners, according to TheWrap, included Best Dog in a Television series for French bulldog Brigitte, who plays Stella on Modern Family, and in the Best Dog in a Reality Television Series it was a two-way tie between Hercules from Pit Boss and Giggy from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Legal Practitioner calls for Improved Professionalism
Posted: February 01, 2013|
Advertisement Feature
John Spencer has underlined 'ethical lapses' in finance, government and the media, particularly the latter, in his quest to maintain fair public access to justice.
As Director of Spencers Personal Injury Solicitors in Derbyshire, John's practice serves injured people including some with very severe injuries; he has recently spoken out against certain plans from the government, which are likely to make it much more difficult to obtain compensation.
In doing so, Spencer has also raised awareness about an equally worrying matter for him - ethics in Britain's most high-profile sectors.
Writing in a letter to The Times newspaper, John elucidated how solid laws against the likes of phone hacking were widely and frequently disregarded...by professional journalists. The content of this letter was orientated around the Leveson Report and within it, Spencer suggested that ignorance to ethical or law-abiding behaviour in this country is not largely to poor enforcement, but to an entire culture that too often prioritises monetary gain over duty.
He also mentioned the MP expenses scandal, as well as an issue which has long-plagued the legal sector and every mobile phone in the world - spam text messaging. His point here was that the claims management companies, solicitors and others who fuel such an irritating practice are also acting unethically.
For further insight on spam texts and advice on how to handle them, see this infographic created by Spencers Solicitors.
On a more positive note, Spencer recently Tweeted a nod towards one of Britain's major banks, who have adopted a new code of conduct to roll out in 2013 - reiterating his point that 'in every sphere, we must return to the importance of sound ethical standards'.
Poor Ethics in 'Every Sphere'
In John's personal blog, he contextualises his point on a nationwide acceptance of unprincipled behaviour, by zooming in on football's Luis Suarez. This centre-forward has a catalogue of controversy to his name in the sport - one of the most recent cases involved Suarez handling the ball before scoring a winning goal.
Spencer is not targeting the striker in his blog but more the pundits who openly suggested that the player had no obligation to admit to foul-play. The personal injury solicitor regrettably parallels this accepted un-sportsmanship with the UK's passivity to crooked behaviour in other non-footballing areas e.g. journalism, politics and finance.
Legal heavyweights like Spencer have reached their statuses in the sector by fulfilling a duty to the public. These are exactly the type of professionals people need to speak to when enquiring about no win no fee compensation.

In an attention starved world why are marketers still failing to incentivise engagement?If brands want more attention they need to incentivise engagement argues Bryan Melmed.
"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass; it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself." Henry MillerIt would seem that Mr Miller has hit the nail on the head for the conundrum marketers face – how to get customers to focus on their brand?
Put something else on the menu other than cooking showsEnough with the cooking shows already says media trading director Sam Tedesco. The market saturation is not doing anything positive for the ratings. Like most members of the Australian TV viewing audience, I love a good cooking show. Right now, though, I need a break from high-pressure personality-driven food formats.
What marketers can learn from Go Back to Where You Came FromIn this opinion piece Kevin Fitzsimons argues SBS documentary Go Back to Where You Came From demonstrates how people will accept ideas more readily when they are shown them. 'People don't do conceptual,' was one of the best pieces of advice I received early on in my marketing career. It took a while for me to grasp the value of the advice and even longer to apply it.
Woolworths: Where did it go wrong?Australia's biggest supermarket is struggling. Steve Jones spoke to industry experts about how Woolworths' marketing strategy has faltered, and whether the brand can revive its fortunes. When Woolworths chief executive Grant O'Brien fell on his sword last month after another disappointing set of quarterly figures, it surprised no one. Without a chief marketer following the abrupt dismissal of Tony Phillips – and with several other high profile executives exiting stage left in recent months – it was just another in a long line of senior level departures at the embattled supermarket.
The media needs to stop condoning the booing and bullying of Adam GoodesMedia commentators not condemning the booing of AFL star Adam Goodes are effectively condoning bullying argues Adam Ferrier. I have always admired Adam Goodes. Dual Brownlow medallist, premiership player, Australian of the Year, continued good work for indigenous people. He certainly deserves respect. Don't know if I like him or not though, never met the guy. However, Alan Jones commented on the issue recently and said the reason Goodes is getting booed is just that, 'Because they just don't like the fellow'. What a damaging thing to say, and surely it's not as simple as that?
This campaign could make me switch. Again.After recently switching to ING Direct Ian Sizer says the current ad campaign for the online bank is seriously making him consider switching back. When you get an ad appearing every single ad break it can be irritating. Some ads though go way beyond irritating and become so infuriating it can totally bugger up your evening. That's what happened to me last weekend when my viewing was interrupted on a regular basis by the latest offering from ING Direct.
Are we storytelling - or just telling stories?While storytelling has become one of adland's biggest buzzwords Rob Lowe argues marketers are failing to make the necessary emotional connections. I remember first hearing people talk about 'storytelling' a few years ago. I never quite understood it then and I still don't fully understand the term now. In fact, like many others, I think it's overused marketing jazz.
Career coach: how do I help my unambitious employee advance their career?This week's career coach looks at how a boss can help an unambitious employee realise their potential.
I have a girl on my team who I know could be amazing at her job, but she just wont take my advice on how to advance her career or improve her profile. What can I do?
How popular is the Restaurant Revolution on social media?Ahead of the launch of Seven's new reality format Restaurant Revolution tonight Angely Grecia crunches the numbers to see what sort of a buzz the show is creating on Twitter. The Restaurant Revolution - the new foodie reality TV-show that sees ordinary Aussies designing and running their own pop-up restaurant to win a grand prize of $200,000 - is alive and well on social media.
The digital news arena is like Jurassic WorldDespite all the hype the news dinosaurs still dominate the plains of online news in Australia argues The New Daily editorial director Bruce Guthrie in an address to the Rural Press Club. One way or another, as a journalist and editor, I've had a front-row seat at the migration of news from print to online over the past 20 years. And whenever I reflect on that sometimes painful, often clumsy process I am reminded of the joke about the man who walks into a bar with a frog sitting on his head.
The Lexus Heartbeat Car is not risky marketingIn this opinion piece Mumbrella's Alex Hayes argues Lexus' new Heartbeat Car stunt will not raise the pulses of ordinary punters. I have to admit the new 'world first' Lexus 'Heatbeat Car' leaves me cold. It comes across as technology for technology's sake - they could have achieved the same results with CGI.
Career coach: I love my job, but I hate my boss – what do I do?It's a workplace dilemma that can dictate your overall happiness during a day in the office. This week, we tackle what to do when you love the role you work in, but not the personalities you work with
I love my job, but I hate my boss – what do I do??"
The 'unofficial' issue with sports sponsorshipIn this guest post, Shabaz Hussain wonders what a posh British drink's surprise social media win at Wimbledon says about sports sponsorship for brands. According to a recent Brand Intelligence Report from Amobee the brand most associated with The Championships at Wimbledon in 2015 across social and digital is Pimm's – a traditional cocktail drink that spectators enjoy at the event. What makes this more interesting is that fact that they were not an official sponsor of The Championships.
Why the current global 'Mediapalooza' could be a huge waste of time for everyoneWith more than $200m of business in play in Australia due to global pitches. But David Angell asks whether swapping partners will achieve much for these multinationals. Do you watch soap operas? Of course you don't, you're all busy executives with crippling workloads. But I bet most of you can remember them from younger days.
The RECMA rankings: should we care about a self assessed beauty contest?While some of the figures in the latest RECMA rankings are questionable Nic Christensen argues they still provide an interesting insight on the state of the media industry. There's something about the RECMA numbers that just does not make sense. But when you ask a bunch of agencies to tell you how much they spend every year you're likely to get some very interesting results. But despite the inconsistencies they are still the best map of media agencyland, are provide insights around the challenges of staff churn, the rise of programmatic and the broader challenge of falling client spend which are actually quite telling.

text: I have a question I was hoping you all had some thoughts on. I am 29 weeks pregnant, and last week when I went in to the OB thinking I was getting the flu (headache, blurry vision) my bp was 160/ 110. It was high the week before too, but she wrote it off as being stressed about the traffic on the way over. I have no protien in my urine, but I have to do a 24 hour test to make sure. She said its probobly just PIH, and not to worry about it, just to rest whenever I could. All well and good, but I am supposed to take the bar exam in a month. I am not worried about it, I don't stress about tests and my job won't start until September anyway (plently of time to take in July), but I don't want to do anything to make the situation worse. Does anyone know what effect stress (even good stress) has on PIH or preeclampsia developing or getting worse? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A device (10) adding keyboard input to a handheld computer (12) lacking such input (such as pen computers and personal digital assistants) includes a keyboard (11) and a planar motion pivot mechanism (30). Planar motion pivot mechanism (30) includes a body (31) formed as a boot that encloses an end of the handheld computer (12), and a pivot pin (32). The user simply rotates keyboard (11) from a nonoperational position substantially covering the handheld computer display (14), to an operational position at substantially a right angle to the display (14).
1. A device comprising:
a handheld apparatus having a display including a first surface from which at least a portion of the display may be viewed;
a first input to said handheld apparatus including a second surface, said first input movable between an operational position and a nonoperational position; and,
a planar motion mechanism carrying said first input and allowing planar motion between said second surface and said first surface whereby said first input may be selectably moved between said operational position and said nonoperational position.
2. A device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first input is a keyboard.
3. A device, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said planar motion mechanism includes a pivot pin and a body carried by said handheld apparatus and carrying said pivot pin and said keyboard, said keyboard rotating about said pivot pin.
4. A device, as set forth in claim 3, wherein said handheld apparatus has an end and said body is a boot that encloses said end of said handheld apparatus.
5. A device, as set forth in claim 4, wherein said keyboard is at substantially a right angle to said display when said keyboard is in said operational position.
6. A device, as set forth in claim 5, wherein said keyboard substantially covers said display when said keyboard is in said nonoperational position.
7. A device, as set forth in claim 2, wherein said handheld apparatus is one of a pen computer and personal digital assistant.
The present invention relates in general to processor based devices operable while being held in its user's hand, such as a handheld computer. More particularly, the present invention pertains to handheld computing devices lacking one or more type of input mechanism. More specifically, the present invention relates to handheld computing devices such as a handheld pen computer or personal digital assistant which omit a keyboard.
Portable computing and communication devices are quickly becoming ubiquitous tools for both business and personal activities. The smallest and lightest of these devices are suitable for and most often carried and operated while being held in the hand of its user. Typical of these devices are the variety of so-called pen computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) now commercially available. Whereas historically user input to computing and communication devices has been primarily through a keyboard, pen computers and PDAs have eliminated the keyboard, not only because its size and weight often make it inconvenient and impracticable to carry and use, but also because many mobile tasks require a more limited extent of textual input. As experience with these devices has increased, however, it has been recognized that from time to time nearly all applications and users would benefit from the ability to perform keyboard input.
Efforts have been made to provide both portable computers and pen computers in a single housing. These efforts have all involved repositioning the display of a laptop computer so that it covers and hides the keyboard, typically in the manner of a tablet. Exemplary of these efforts are the laptop computers shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,276,589 and 5,268,816 in which the display is mounted to slide or pivot in three-dimensions over the keyboard; the laptop computer shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,241,303 in which the display and keyboard detach and are repositioned with the display lying flat and the keyboard stored in a compartment under the display; and the ThinkPad Model 750P laptop computer manufactured by International Business Machines Corporation of White Plains, N.Y. in which the display is carried on an articulated arm which moves in three-dimensions to allow the display to be repositioned directly over the keyboard.
No matter what the approach, such efforts invariably produce units that are large, heavy, expensive, complex and difficult and cumbersome to transform from keyboard input to keyboardless operation. Moreover, these efforts do not adapt to pen computers and PDAs currently in use.
Some pen computers and PDAs presently commercially available do include a socket to connect to the cable from a conventional keyboard. However, given the inconvenience of carrying, connecting and operating a completely external keyboard, existing pen computer and PDA users almost universally elect to go without keyboard input even in those relative frequently occurring situations in which it would be beneficial.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a device that permits the inclusion of a keyboard with a keyboardless handheld computer.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device, as set forth above, which is simple to move from an operational to a nonoperational position.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a device, as set forth above, that is as compact as the handheld computer, inexpensive to manufacture and uncomplicated.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a device, as set forth above, that may be removably added to existing and new handheld computers.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention over existing prior art forms will become more apparent and fully understood from the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In general, a device in accordance with the present invention includes a handheld apparatus having a display, including a first surface from which at least a portion of the display may be viewed; and, after "apparatus" (second occurrence) and before the comma insert including a second surface, said first input movable between an operational position and a nonoperational position, a first input to the handheld apparatus, and, a planar motion mechanism carrying the first input and allowing planar motion between second surface and the first surface whereby the first input may be selectably moved between its operational position and its nonoperational position.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an exemplary device in accordance with the present invention depicting a combination keyboard and cover in its closed position atop the display of a handheld computer.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the device shown in FIG. 1 in which the combination keyboard and cover has been pivoted to its open position with the keyboard in an operational position at a substantially right-angle to the longitudinal axis of the display in the handheld computer.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary, elevational view through the device shown in FIG. 1 taken substantially along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2 and depicting the combination keyboard and cover in its open position.
FIGS. 1 and 2 present a top plan view of an exemplary device in accordance with the present invention, generally indicated by the numeral 10, for providing a keyboard input apparatus 11 to a handheld computer 12, such as a pen computer or a personal digital assistant (PDA). In the handheld computer 12 depicted in the Figures, a display 14 is recessed in a well 15 so as to be flush with the outside surface 16 of handheld computer 12.
Keyboard input apparatus 11 includes a plurality of keys 20 carried within an upper housing 21, and a mating, lower housing 22. One corner of the mated upper housing 21 and a lower housing 22 includes a cylindrical chamber 23 for receiving a pivot pin as explained hereinafter. A cable 24 including multiple electrical power and data conductors extends between keyboard 11 and handheld computer 12. The length of cable 24 may be minimized if cable 24 enters or engages keyboard 11 in proximity to chamber 23 and the location at which cable 24 enters or engages handheld computer 12.
Keyboard 11 is preferably no larger in area than that of display 14 and is as thin and light as possible. Nevertheless, the skilled artisan will appreciate the desirability of configuring keyboard 11 with an acceptable balance of size, weight and tactile operating characteristics.
In addition to the keyboard 11, device 10 includes broadly a keyboard positioning mechanism 30, best seen in the fragmentary, elevational view of FIG. 3 taken substantially along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2. Keyboard positioning mechanism 30 includes a body 31 configured and adapted to fit securely over and be carried by one end of handheld computer 12, and a pivot pin 32 for allowing keyboard 11 to rotate in a single plane relative to the position of display 14. Body 31 may be formed as a five-sided boot that slips over an end of handheld computer 12 and is secured by interference fit and an integrally formed flange 33 that engages a lower edge 17 of well 15 in which display 14 is recessed. Pivot pin 32 is inserted into chamber 23 and may be secured by a C-clip 34 or other suitable means affixed thereto on the inside of upper housing 21. Various well known techniques many be employed to maximize the strength of pivot pin 32, as by including a broadened pivot base 35, forming pivot 32 out of metal, and integrally forming pivot 32 as a part of body 31. Stop ridges may be formed into the underside of lower housing 22 to limit the extent of rotational travel of keyboard 11.
It should now be apparent that keyboard 11 pivots in a single plane between an orientation that may be called its non-operational or closed position directly atop display 14 as shown in FIG. 1, and an orientation that may be called its operational or open position, cantilevered atop body 31 and the end of handheld computer 12 over which body 31 is placed, and at a substantially right angle to display 14. Inasmuch as the keys 20 and display 14 are both facing in the same direction, and only a simple planer motion is required to move between operational and non-operational orientations, the difficulties discussed hereinbefore are avoided.
Several modifications within the spirit of the present invention now should be evident to the skilled artisan. For example, while the embodiment described herein may be best suited as an attachment to an existing keyboardless handheld computer, if the housing of handheld computer is formed to include or permit direct attachment of a pivot or other suitable planar motion mechanism, the need for body 31 may be eliminated and keyboard 11 made a more integral part of the handheld computer. Alternatively, keyboard 11 and its pivot or other planar motion mechanism may be carried internal to the housing of the handheld computer, and the keyboard selectively moved to an operational orientation outside the housing of the handheld computer. Also, the present invention may be employed with any input device omitted from the handheld computer, and encompasses other forms of planar motion such as sliding.
Inasmuch as the present invention is subject to variations, modifications and changes in detail, some of which have been expressly stated herein, it is intended that all matter described throughout this entire specification or shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It should thus be evident that a device constructed according to the concept of the present invention, and reasonably equivalent thereto, will accomplish the objects of the present invention and otherwise substantially improve the art of adding omitted functionality to handheld computing devices and, more particularly, adding keyboards to pen computers and PDAs.

I'm guessing Hollywood will want to cash in on the tantalizing success of the Fifty Shades trilogy and we'll soon be seeing it on the big screen (gawk, blush!) So let's do a little mental masturbating and fantasize about what hunky actor will play Christian.
My vote is Cam Gigandet. You've seen him as a demented vampire in Twilight (killed by the Cullens at the end of the first movie), and alongside Christina Aguilera in Burlesque, among other roles.
So why him? I can't pronounce his last name, but this guy is seriously hot. He makes women swoon (especially moms when seen wearing his baby girl in a sling! oh my!) He has the scary-stare down, and the right dimensions (and I'm not just referring to his butt, although that certainly fits the character as well!) The only thing missing is floppy hair and I'm sure a stylist could help that.
Any other ideas? Who could top Mr. Gigandet's hotness?
Oh, and for Anastasia, I nominate Nina Dobrev, who I'd never heard of until she fondled Conan O'Brien with her feet while upside-down in a yoga Scorpion pose (see that video here). But this photo (to the left) of Mr. Gigandet and Minka Kelly could be right out of Fifty Shades, so clearly she's a contender too.
Oh, I can't wait!
P.S: I've learned that Fifty Shades was actually born as a Twilight fan-fiction, originally titled Master of the Universe — no wonder it's so much like Twilight! (see my post about that here).

OSHA comments from the January 19, 1989 Final Rule on Air Contaminants Project extracted from 54FR2332 et. seq. This rule was remanded by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the limits are not currently in force.
CAS: 107-66-4; Chemical Formula: (C4H9O)2(OH)PO
OSHA previously had an 8-hour TWA PEL of 1 ppm for dibutyl phosphate. The Agency proposed to supplement this limit with a 2-ppm STEL, based on the ACGIH recommendation. NIOSH (Ex. 8-47, Table N1) concurred with this proposal, and the final rule establishes a 1-ppm TWA limit with a 2-ppm STEL for this substance.
There are no published reports of toxic reactions caused by exposure to dibutyl phosphate. However, in a personal communication to the ACGIH, Mastromatteo reported that workers exposed to relatively low levels of dibutyl phosphate developed respiratory tract irritation and headache (Mastromatteo 1964a, as cited in ACGIH 1986/Ex. 1-3, p. 236). No additional data or health effects comment was introduced into the record during the rulemaking proceeding.
OSHA concludes that both a TWA and a STEL are necessary to protect workers from the risk of respiratory tract irritation and headaches reported to occur at low levels of exposure. OSHA judges it likely that, in the absence of a STEL, short-term exposure permitted by the 1-ppm TWA limit alone may be sufficiently high to present a significant risk of respiratory tract irritation and headache to workers; the Agency considers these exposure-related effects to be material impairments of health. Therefore, the Agency is supplementing its 1-ppm 8-hour TWA limit with a 2-ppm 15-minute STEL in the final rule.

LANSFORD — Lightning struck a house in Carbon County Wednesday afternoon, damaging the home and sending a boy to the hospital.
Two children were right near where the lightning bolt hit, and it caused quite a scare.
A pile of bricks was left on the ground after the lightning strike blew apart the top of the chimney on the house in Lansford, and really shook up the people who were at home when it hit.
"All the years I've seen lightning and thunder, I've never witnessed something like that," said Margie Karnish of Lansford.
Karnish and her husband now have a mess to clean up. She was in her bedroom when the lightning struck.
"When it hit it actually knocked me sideways, the pressure was so bad," said Karnish.
The Karnish's great grandchildren were right nearby when it happened. A 14-year-old girl was on the porch, and a 12-year-old boy was in the driveway.
"Well before you know it, it hit the chimney and she came in the house screaming and screaming. There's a fire in our chimney, a fire in our chimney!" said Karnish.
Firefighters came and found the debris, but no fire.
They also found the 12 year old physically feeling the affects of the strike and took him to the hospital.
"He just felt like there was something going through his body, electricity or something going through his body," said Karnish.
He was okay and back at the house Wednesday night, and the kids said goodbye to great grandma and grandpa before returning to Texas today, after quite an ending to their visit.
"It was just something I don't ever want to hear again. I don't ever want to see again. It was horrible!" explained Karnish.
The storms that swept through Carbon County also brought down some trees.
Newswatch 16 found large trees that toppled along route 209 in Nesquehoning.
One of them is a big pine tree leaning right on a house.
Branches also fell around some homes.

Product description
A lost colony is reborn in this heart-pounding fantasy adventure set in the near future. Enter the world of the Elementals, which James Dashner called completely gripping and full of intrigue, revelation, mystery, and suspense. Sixteen-year-old Thomas has always been an outsider. The first child born without the power of an element earth, water, wind, or fire he has little to offer his tiny, remote Outer Banks colony. Or so the Guardians would have him believe. In the wake of an unforeseen storm, desperate pirates kidnap the Guardians, intent on claiming the island as their own. Caught between the Plague-ridden mainland and the advancing pirates, Thomas and his friends fight for survival in the battered remains of a mysterious abandoned settlement. But the secrets they unearth will turn Thomas s world upside-down, and bring to light not only a treacherous past but also a future more dangerous than he can possibly imagine. Written by an award-winning author, this dynamic series is perfect for fans of dystopian thrillers like James Dashner s "The Maze Runner" and Marie Lu s "Legend." Plenty of action for readers who enjoy survival stories with a twist of the supernatural and a hint of romance. "School Library Journal" The novel s captivating storyline, rapid pace, and cliffhanger ending are sure to leave fans of novels like Grant s Gone series absorbed with the action and anxious for a sequel. "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" "Engaging characters and plenty of mystery, adventure, and action." -"Publishers Weekly""

Author information
Antony John is the Schneider Award-winning author of "Five Flavors of Dumb "and" Thou Shalt Not Road Trip." For many years he lived in North Carolina and was a regular visitor to the Outer Banks. He was bewitched by the beauty of the landscape and fascinated by the legends that surround them. Although "Elemental" is set in the future, it has its origins in the islands remote past an era of sailing ships, small, independent colonies, and still-unsolved mysteries. Antony now lives with his family in St. Louis, Missouri."
Customer reviews
By Sarah Elizabeth 24 Nov 2012
(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Penguin Young Readers Group and Netgalley.)
16-year-old Thom is unique... in a bad way; the only person ever to have no 'element'. Everyone else has a link to one of the elements - fire, earth, wind, or water. They can catch fish, predict storms, or start fires with their bare hands, but Thom can't do anything, and everybody thinks that he is a 'nothing'.
During a storm, Thom, his brothers, and some of the other kids from the island where he lives head over to a hurricane shelter in an abandoned town on another island. Problem is that in the morning when the 'Guardians' - the older inhabitants of the island (their parents and siblings), should be coming to the hurricane shelter to collect them, they don't arrive, and when the kids look over to the island where they live, there are huge plumes of smoke - their home is burning.
When they row back to their home island to find out what has happened, the guardians are all missing, their homes are burned to the ground, and sailing just off the island is a pirate ship.
When the pirates realise that the kids are back on the island, they come back in search of them. They believe they one of them is 'the solution' (a cure to the plague that has forced them to live in isolation). Now the kids must not only stop themselves from being taken by the pirates, but must also try to rescue their families.
Who is 'the solution' though? What do they believe 'the solution' can really do? And is Thom really a nothing?
This was a great story. There was plenty of mystery surrounding each of the kids and their abilities, and what the pirates wanted them for. I must say that it isn't quite as scary as a lot of dystopian books that I have read - no zombies here, but it was still a great read.
I liked the different abilities that each of the kids had, and how they were able to use them. I hated how poor Thom was made to feel like a 'nothing', and how the others treated him because they thought he had no element. He was totally made to feel like a second class citizen which was really unfair.
There was a hint at romance, but no real romance storyline. There were 2 girls who both seemed to like Thom, but it never went any further than that.
There wasn't a lot of backstory to be had, but there was enough to set the scene, and give an idea of the sort of world where the story took place.
There were also plenty of little twists in the story that I really appreciated; especially the one at the end! I totally didn't expect the revelation at the end, but it makes me wonder if there may be a sequel to this book in the works?
Overall; a great YA dystopian - not too scary, and no romance.
7.5 out of 10.

New at APS this year are the Harken Ballistic Eco Shorts. You probably read about them in Bryn's post about how green we are here at APS. These shorts combine eco materials with solid sailing short basics to make a pair of shorts that's as easy on your rear as it is on the environment.
I wore a pair of these on a J22 during the Annapolis NOODs this spring to get a feel for them and overall I was impressed with the Eco shorts. For me, the most noticeable feature was the great stretch offered by the spandex blended into the fabric. I enjoyed the stretch so much I wanted to wear my biking shorts on Sunday for the full on spandex look, but Warren told me that wasn't appropriate. Really though they're the stretchiest pair of sailing shorts I've worn which makes them super comfortable.
The Harken ballistic shorts come with foam pads already inserted which is a plus compare to Camets where you have to buy them separately. The pads feel to me to be comparable to the other pads out there. They did make the toe rail on the J22 a bit more comfortable over the three days of sailing I did. As Bryn pointed out in her post about how eco-friendly these and other things at APS are these shorts are also the only shorts we have that feature two rear pockets separate from the pockets for the pads. I don't really think you'd want to use the pockets while sailing since they're pretty guaranteed to get both wet and smooshed but they're very useful once you make your way to the beer tent.

Considering the cold weather to the north and east of Arizona, now is a good time to make things like Beef Stew. I prefer to make it because overall you end up eating less red meat than you would eat with a piece of roasted or braised beef. You can also be very elastic with ingredients, beginning with lots of potatoes and carrots and less beef, or vice versa.
If you get into it, you might want to buy a piece of meat anyway and cut it up yourself. The tougher and cheaper cuts are recommended, and the stewing process has rescued many a piece of "inferior" meat and allowed it to develop the flavor that stew meat is known for. I must say that I usually buy stew meat in pieces myself, and in this article I will relate the on-the-fly method that I have for making a standard recipe.
Aside from the stew meat, it is also recommended that you use "new potatoes," which can be red, white or Yukon Gold. They hold up better to the cooking process, although you need hardly cook them as long as you have to stew the meat. The other main ingredient in a beef stew is carrots, and the great divide in this dish comes when you consider whether to add tomatoes to the stew, or prepare it strictly with beef broth or stock. I prefer stock myself, so that is in my method.
You can feed 3-4 people on a typical package of stew meat, and if you want the good stuff I recommend shopping for it at Sprouts or Whole Foods in Tucson. Both places have butcher counters and good, clean meat. After that you pick up your potatoes in a small bag and a standard pack of carrots from the produce section.
You will also want to have an onion and some fresh garlic back at home, and if you do not, get some at the store. Likewise with the beef broth; you may have to pick up a couple of boxes. There is also a product that is called Better Than Bouillon, which is a concentrate and can be found in most supermarkets. It comes in beef, chicken and vegetable and all three are very good.
From Cafe Margot
1 standard package of beef stew meat
4-6 waxy-type potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 carrots, cut into chunks
1 medium yellow onion
5-7 cloves of fresh garlic
4-6 cups of beef broth or equivalent
All-purpose flour or cornstarch, for thickening
Prepared seasoning or herbs
2 stalks of celery, sliced (optional)
So once you are at home, heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven and chop the onions and garlic. Empty them into the pot and let them soften, about 5 minutes while you keep stirring them. Keep the heat under the pot to medium-high.
Once the onion and garlic have softened, you could add the celery if you want it. But go ahead and add the meat, letting it brown and also acquire some flavor from the vegetables.
At this point, if you wish, you can set your oven to 350 degrees and let the meat heat with the vegetables until the oven is hot. At that point, add the broth and stir everything up, and then place it in the oven for 2 hours.
After an hour, you can chop up the potatoes and carrots, chunky or small, and get ready to add them into the stew.
After two hours, check the meat and make sure it is tender. If it is--and it should be--add the potatoes and carrots, stir it and remove it from the oven to the top of the stove. Place it over low-medium heat and let it cook for half an hour, which ought to cook the potatoes and carrots.
At that point, check the stew for seasoning. I like to add prepared Greek seasoning, but you can also add Italian or Herbes de Provence or just a few selected herbs like thyme, ground bay leaf, marjoram and parsley. Add the pepper as well, and some more salt if it is needed.
The stew is done when the carrots and potatoes are cooked. At that point, turn off the heat and prepare a thickening solution. It can be 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch or the same amount of all-purpose flour, which you place in a jar and shake it vigorously to mix it up. DO NOT use the hot liquid for the stew because it will thicken flour instantly, before you ever get it to the stew. Use a half-cup of cold water and when the mixture has no lumps, add it to the stew and stir. You will see it thicken up in a moment and you are ready to serve with some crusty bread, butter and a light red wine.
A fruit dessert would go well with this. I have some ideas. Tune in tomorrow.
