Expiration Date:?Mar 2018
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:?0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe) is derived from the amino acid methionine and is one of the most important methyl donors in the central nervous system. Methylation (donation of methyl groups) is an essential process in ensuring the proper function of a number of organ systems. SAMe is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in tissues including the liver, joints and brain. SAMe is also required for the biosynthesis of critical neurotransmitters and hormones.
Supplementing with SAMe
The manufacturing process of SAMe yields two forms, the S,S and the R,S isomers. The S,S isomer is the active form that mediates biochemical activity in the human body, whereas the R,S form is considered to be biologically inactive. The Italian SAMe used in our SAMe 200 is processed to yield the highest available percentage of the active pure S,S form on the market.
SAMe and Joint Function
SAMe may enhance cartilage protection and promote the synthesis of proteoglycans, essential components of connective tissue. Clinical studies show an ability of SAMe to enhance mobility and movement, and promote joint comfort.
SAMe and Neural Health
SAMe-catalyzed methylation reactions promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which have the potential to promote enhanced mood. SAMe may also upregulate the production of phosphatidylcholine, supporting cognitive function.
SAMe and Liver Function
SAMe enhances liver synthesis of glutathione, an antioxidant. Glutathione promotes detoxification and liver protection. Studies show SAMe may protect liver tissue from injury caused by a number of toxins.
Our SAMe 200 contains 200 mg of active SAMe in each tablet. Doctor's Best utilizes only the highest quality Italian SAMe available on the market. This ensures that you receive the most potent SAMe product with the highest percentage of the active S,S form per serving, bar none.

Ordered this product for moodiness and slight depression. I thought it would take some time for it to work, but right after I took the first one, instead of getting ready for my date with my friend, I went upstairs and lied down and stared at the ceiling for at least 30 minutes. I remained at taking one capsule a day and continued to feel dopey and spaced out. At work I tripped at least two times and couldn't focus on what I was doing. On the weekend I had to take a nap in the afternoon and didn't wake up until 9pm. I think I would consider taking this again for my first day of my periods or for severe pms, but I can't take this and work. It feels like I'm on a recreational drug or something. It works right away so keep that in mind; and also it did improve my mood. Found myself having the urge to sing and dance for no specific reason.
One of the most important parts of the methylation cycle for helping depression. Must have ! Noticed differnace in 10 days.

BRUSSELS — The Group of Seven may have kicked Russia out, but members still have to deal with Vladimir Putin.
As President Obama and G-7 allies opened their summit Wednesday — a get-together once scheduled for Sochi, Russia — at least three G-7 members have scheduled private meetings with the Russian leader over the next two days.
Their goal: getting Putin to talk with Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko about a potential deal to de-escalate separatist violence in that country.
Obama, who is not scheduled to meet Putin this week but did speak with Poroshenko on Wednesday, said that the Russian leader needs to support Poroshenko's efforts to broker "a process whereby Russia no longer is financing or supporting or arming separatists on Ukraine's sovereign territory."
Putin is scheduled to meet President Francois Hollande of France, a G-7 member, on Thursday in Paris.
Two other leaders of G-7 nations — German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron — will meet with Putin on Friday, on the sidelines of ceremonies for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France.
Russia's incursion into Ukraine, including its annexation of the Crimea region, dominate the G-7 summit, which began Wednesday night with a working dinner among members. Most of the work centered on foreign policy and Ukraine.
Energy, the global economy, free trade and climate change are on Thursday's agenda, but many analysts said the most important item is the symbolism of Russia's absence.
"The meeting was designed to show that the other seven weren't going to go to Russia," said James Goldgeier, dean of the school of international service at American University in Washington, D.C.
After the Russian takeover of Crimea, Obama and allies canceled the Sochi meeting of what was then known as the Group of Eight. That action and economic sanctions were designed to isolate Putin, though some G-7 members are now making diplomatic overtures to the Russian leader.
Speaking Wednesday to the German Parliament, Merkel said that "it is really of decisive importance that President Putin exert his influence on the separatists to refrain from violence and intimidation, give up their weapons and end their occupations."
Poroshenko, who will be inaugurated as Ukraine's president on Saturday, will also attend the D-Day ceremonies Friday and hopes to meet with Putin to discuss a peace plan. The Ukraine plan involves decentralization of federal power, amnesty for some separatists and elections for local governments.
There will be at least one American-Russian contact this week: Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to speak with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Paris on Thursday.
As for Obama and Putin, the American president said, "I'm sure I'll see him" at D-Day -- but no formal discussion is planned.
Obama told reporters Wednesday that the G-7 needs to back up any deal with the threat of future sanctions if Putin refuses to "seize this opportunity to develop a lawful and better relationship with his neighbors."
For his part, Putin has said he will act to protect the interests of ethnic Russians in Ukraine and elsewhere.
The Russian president hasn't been idle during his dust-up with the West over Ukraine. He recently signed a major gas deal with China and is looking to strengthen economic ties with North Korea.
On the other hand, Putin has pulled some troops back from the Ukraine border. He did little to interfere with the Ukraine election that brought the pro-Western Poroshenko to power.
The United States and allies have already agreed on sanctions for individuals and businesses within Russia, but there is more division over harsher sanctions that would target entire sectors of the Russian economy.
For one thing, Europeans get much of their energy supplies from Russia. That's one reason that efforts to develop alternative energy sources is another G-7 topic.
The G-7 summit highlights an Obama trip to Europe designed largely to reassure allies that the United States will stand behind them if Russia seeks to extend their influence. The American president began Tuesday in Poland, another neighbor of Ukraine.
Shortly after landing in Warsaw, Obama proposed a $1 billion package in new security aid for NATO allies and other European nations, especially those close to Russia.
At a Wednesday event commemorating the 25th anniversary of Poland's breakaway from the Soviet Union, Obama told allies: "We stand together because we believe that people and nations have the right to determine their own destiny — and that includes the people of Ukraine."
Excluding Russia from the G-7 was part of the overall "cold shouldering of Putin," said Olga Oliker, a senior international policy analyst with the RAND Corp.
Yet Oliker also noted that Putin and Russia are probably essential to a more peaceful Ukraine: "Getting any sort of stability in Ukraine — if the Russians are working against it — is going to be pretty much impossible."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presents a portion of an evening with Grammy-award winner Marty Stuart as part of From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits, from Wednesday, December 17, 2009.
Stuart, not only a musician but also an avid collector, traveled to Cleveland to unveil the Rock Hall's exhibit Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart's American Musical Odyssey. It encompasses an astounding array of performance costumes, accessories, handwritten lyrics, personal letters and instruments compiled by Stuart.
At the age of nine, he formed his first band in his hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi before joining legendary guitarist Lester Flatt and his band as their mandolin player. Before he was 20 years old, Stuart joined Johnny Cash's band on the road. While he was on tour with Cash in London in 1980, Stuart became motivated to become a collector. He had met Isaac Tigrett, a co-founder of the Hard Rock Café, who invited Stuart to the Hard Rock in London. Fascinated by the scene created around memorabilia from the world's most influential musicians, such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Janis Joplin, Stuart was inspired to formally craft his own collection, Sparkle & Twang.
After his time on the road with Cash, Stuart eventually became a solo artist, achieving fame on his own and earning hit songs, a platinum album, five gold records, four Grammy awards and recording 14 studio albums. In addition to these and many other musical achievements, Stuart is also a published writer, a photographer and hosts a country music television show on RFD-TV called The Marty Stuart Show.

Public Works department stays fit while working to keep the community functioning.
Glen Kamykowski, Fleet Automotive Technician
Village of Oak Park
Kevin Norris, Electrician
Electrician Kevin Norris hauls his maintenance tools to the jobsite.
The Village of Oak Park, Ill., isn't just home to the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes. It's also where 57 public works employees are setting the bar for environmentally friendly services for 52,000 people living just west of Chicago.
Programs include monthly collection of electronic materials, twice-a-year exchanges where residents can drop off and pick up unused paint, paper shredding events, and an annual Green Expo. In 2012, 500 residents began composting food scraps.
Fleet Services has worked out of a LEED Gold facility since fall 2007. The 250 police, fire, park district, and other vehicles under the division's care include dump trucks that run on bio-diesel. Twenty pool vehicles and two pickup trucks use compressed natural gas. Other pool cars include an electric vehicle and three hybrid vehicles.
So it's only natural that in 2008 division employees would find a way to repurpose a dozen or so abandoned bicycles the police department had collected over time: Fix them up and encourage village employees to use them for work-related transportation. An initial $500 investment paid for new tires, tubes, bike racks, and other miscellaneous parts as needed. Helmets were supplied and paid for by a $1,000 federal grant to employees who use the fleet.
"It's hard to say how much has been saved, but the cost to operate a vehicle is $0.75-$1.00/mile which includes fuel, maintenance and repairs, and purchase cost," says Public Works Director John Wielebnicki.
In addition to Wielebnicki, the village engineer, traffic signal technician, and water operators regularly use the bikes to get to meetings, pump stations, construction sites, and traffic signals. Every time they do, they're saving fuel while improving their health and fitness. Bicycles also give them direct contact with residents as they ride through neighborhoods in the 5-square-mile community.

Virtualizing Microsoft SQL on VMware vSphere
Enjoy Full Microsoft Support
Microsoft officially supports Windows Server and Server products running on VMware ESX. This includes Windows Server 2000 SP4, Windows Server 2003 SP2 or later, and Windows Server 2008 and specialty roles provided by the operating system such as Active Directory or File Services. Major applications that are supported include Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and SharePoint Server. Microsoft has published a complete list of supported applications, and continues to update it. Supported ESX configurations are also listed.
VMware ESX was the first hypervisor to be validated under the Microsoft Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP), providing customers who run Windows Server and Microsoft applications with cooperative support from Microsoft and VMware. Customers can now run Exchange on VMware with the peace of mind that they will receive the support they need.
Microsoft Adopts vMotion-Friendly Licensing
Microsoft licensing has recently been modified to allow customers to reassign licenses between physical servers as frequently as desired. In the past, licenses could only be reassigned once every 90 days, limiting the benefits of vMotion. The new licensing flexibility enables efficient use of vMotion for Windows Server and major applications including Exchange, SQL Server and SharePoint Server.

Non SVVP-Validated Configurations
What happens if you are running a non SVVP-validated configuration of ESX and Microsoft products? Customers routinely tell us they still receive the Microsoft support benefits. Support options vary, however, depending on how customers purchase VMware and Microsoft products.
The following scenarios are common:
Scenario 1: VMware software was originally purchased through a server OEM
Server resellers including Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, HP, IBM and Unisys offer end-to-end support for Microsoft software running on their servers and VMware if VMware products are purchased with the server hardware and are covered by a valid support agreement with the server reseller. This provides customers one-stop support via the server reseller if an issue arises. See Support for Microsoft Software in VMware Virtual Machines for more details.
Scenario 2: VMware software was originally purchased direct from VMware or a VMware authorized reseller and the customer has a valid Microsoft Premier-level support agreement
Microsoft states that it will use "commercially reasonable efforts" to support its products running on VMware virtual machines. Customers regularly tell us Microsoft's commercially reasonable efforts are effective and appropriate to maintain operations as planned. There may be confusion within Microsoft's field and channel organizations regarding the scope of support that can be provided, and in some cases, customers may perceive that "commercially reasonable efforts" will not meet their expectations. In general, Microsoft offers its large customers excellent support for their products running on VMware. Microsoft's policy states that after such efforts are exhausted, Microsoft support specialists may request that customers replicate the issue on a physical machine in order to proceed with the investigation. See Microsoft KB 897615 for more details.
Scenario 3: VMware software was originally purchased direct from VMware or a VMware authorized reseller and the customer does not have a Microsoft Premier-level support agreement
Microsoft's level of support for these customers can be more restrictive. Before providing support, Microsoft specialists may request that customers first replicate the issue on a physical machine per Microsoft KB 897615.

Computer Questions
Question: Why does my computer start and run slow?
Answer: Although many things can cause sluggishness, the most common problems are an insufficient amount of system memory and/or an excessive number of programs that are launched during startup. Programs such as chat programs and various Internet tools will typically install with a default option of loading when the computer is started. Most of these provide an icon in the "System Tray" area of the task bar. (Right side) We recommend that you alter the settings of these applications so that they don't load automatically. You can still launch the program like any other when you want to use it.
To compare existing physical memory with your usage, you can right click My Computer or Computer and select Properties. The available system memory will be listed in the Window. To determine usage, right click the Task Bar and select Task Manager. Click the Performance tab, and note the PF Usage amount. If you think your system could have an insufficient amount of memory, the Helpdesk staff will be happy to check it for you, determine the correct type and amount to purchase, and even help shop for best prices for reliable products.
In addition to startup programs, spyware and or viruses are very common causes of poor system performance. To learn more about how to remove spyware, please refer to the Spyware & Adware section of our Computing Security page. It is also recommended that you periodically run a virus scan on your system.
Question: I receive an error when trying to use a program CD.
Answer: One of the most common causes of improper program installations is caused by anti-virus software that is running during the installation. To disable the anti-virus software, find the icon in the system tray (right side of task bar) for the active virus protection. On WVWC laptops, this icon is for Symantec AntiVirus Auto Protect. Right-clicking the icon will produce a popup menu. Select the "Disable Auto-Protect" option from the menu. Close any other applications and try to reinstall your program. If your program runs from the CD, you should disable the auto-protect feature while running the application.
**IMPORTANT** Please remember to enable the anti-virus software when you are done so that your system is protected.
Email Questions
Question: How do I configure my email client for my WVWC mail account?
Answer: Email configuration details can be found on our Getting Started page.
Question: Why can't I send email from off-campus?
Answer: The most common problem with sending mail from off-campus is due to security restrictions that may be in place from your Internet Service Provider. Most notably in the Buckhannon area, Suddenlink has such restrictions in place. If you have configured your email properly as listed in the E-mail Configuration section or our Getting Started page, you may need to add Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity to resolve this problem. You can find the software and an installation instruction sheet on this page under "Can I access the WVWC network from off-campus?"
Question: My mail keeps prompting for a password and will not download.
Answer: Chances are your password is expired and/or your account is locked out. If you are off-campus, we can set your password for you, but you need to phone in the request during our office hours. (Please reference the phone number and current hours of operation from our home page.) If you are on campus and can not log on, you need to bring your WVWC ID to the Helpdesk and ask to have your password reset.
Note: You can now reset your password from off-campus using the "Change My Password" link which is located in the Helpdesk Quicklinks section of all Helpdesk site pages (including this one)!
Question: Error: The mail server has unexpectedly lost connection...
Answer: We have identified a problem with corrupt spam mail messages. Please contact the Helpdesk to have the corrupt message cleared from your account. This operation can only be completed by a WVWC Computing Services staff member. Student employees do not have the necessary access to correct the problem. If you are unconcerned with the email that may be stored on the server, please request to have your inbox cleared.
Question: I can not open attachments in Outlook Express.
Answer: By default, Outlook Express errs on the side of security and does not allow file attachments. To allow file attachments, select Tools→Options from the menu bar. Click the Security tab at the top of the window. Uncheck the option box that states" Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus." Click the OK button to save your changes.
Question: How large of a file can I send as an email attachment?
Answer: We allow the transfer of files up to 4MB as email attachments, although this is not a recommended means for transferring files on the WVWC network. When possible, you should use a share folder to share documents with other users on the WVWC campus. For additional information about how to share files, refer to, How can I share files with other WVWC network users? Other alternatives include chat programs such as AIM, Yahoo Messenger, or Windows Messenger that include file transfer (FTP) as part of their application.
Question: Why does my email download the same messages over and over?
Answer: This symptom is generally caused by a corrupt message or attachment within your mailbox on the mail server. Please contact the Helpdesk to have the problem resolved.
Question: How can I block junk email or specific users from sending me messages?
Answer: WVWC utilizes an anti-spam filter to remove a remarkable amount of unsolicited bulk email, yet some will still go through to your account. The best option is to familiarize yourself with the Junk Mail filtering capabilities of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. This program feature requires little effort to identify and separate most spam mail from your inbox. Just like the Deleted Items folder, you must periodically empty the folder. You can do so by right-clicking the Junk Mail icon, and selecting "Empty Junk E-mail Folder" from the menu.
Question: How do I import my messages and addresses from Outlook Express into Outlook?
Answer: From Outlook's menu bar select File → Import and Export... The action to choose is "Import Internet Mail and Addresses." Click the Next button. Select Outlook Express as the mail application and click the Next button. Elect to "Replace duplicates with items imported" and click the Finish button. Outlook will provide a summary report when it is finished.
Show Me How... to import mail and addresses from Outlook Express to Outlook.

Crews prepping for a major City Hall waterworks project planned for 2013 have marked part of the route where a water line will be installed along the S.R. 248-Kearns Boulevard entryway.
The flags show the location where there are currently underground utility lines.
The water line that will be installed next year will run from Wyatt Earp Way to a water tank in Empire Canyon. The line linking Wyatt Earp Way to the water-treatment plant close to Quinn's Junction has already been installed.
The two segments will be joined and operational in 2014.

what the **** just happened on that
wow is it that hard to rebound
stupid end to the 3rd by Melo. He's playing well, but that was horrible. DAMN.
The board broke Chandler's legs, that make Lopez to laugh.
How hard can it be to maintain a lead against these nobodies.
not only the board, but stupid foul by Tyson...
the 4th will start with Nets ball, we have got to tighten up the D, close the lanes, guard the corner 3.
offense will come
Our under the rim awareness is just... <facepalm> And why can't this team stay focused? Every time we seem to pull off a bit they're right back at us...
And the reason the Lakers are looking to trade Gasol is because of his bad contract. STAT's is worse! If I were them I'd just hope that Gasol finds form. That's a better option by far, and Nash will help make it happen.
Perhaps there's less room for him with D12 around, but that applies immediately to Stoudemire, as well.
Hope for a miracle as unlikely as what got Gasol to the Lakers in the first place, but I seriously doubt the Lakers bite on this one without the Knicks losing Shumpert and a throw in. Maybe next year's first rounder on top.

No. 15 Mens Water Polo Captures Ivy League Championship
The 15th-ranked Princeton men's water polo team captured the Ivy League Championship title in thrilling fashion, defeating Brown 13-12 Sunday in Philadelphia, Pa. The Tigers topped Penn, 20-15, in the semifinals to advance to the first-place contest earlier in the day.
Only the win over Brown counts towards Princeton's overall record, improving the Tigers to 14-4 on the year, as Penn is a club program. Princeton resumes league play at home next weekend, facing George Washington on Friday, Oct. 25 and Fordham and Iona the next day.
A two-goal first quarter deficit was not enough to derail the Tigers in their semifinal victory over Penn. Down 5-3, Princeton responded with a rousing 14-7 run over the second and third quarters to put away the contest versus the host-Quakers.
Kurt Buchbinder and Thomas Nelson led the charge with four goals each, and Sam Butler, Curtis Fink and Jovan Jeremic all netted three goals.
Along with seeing six players record multi-goal outings, both Butler and Nelson made three steals, while goalie Tyler Amina notched 11 saves, three assists and two steals.
In a much more hostile championship game, the Tigers were forced to employ a fourth quarter rally to overcome the Bears.
Princeton opened with a 3-2 lead in the first, but Brown countered with a 4-3 run in the second quarter to knot things up six-all at halftime. The Bears' carried over their offensive run through the third to go up 10-9.
Fink tied things up, 10-10, with 5:02 to play in regulation, but Princeton was unable to retake the lead on a man-up opportunity.
Brown responded with a goal of its own at 3:01, but it was not enough to corral control for good. Goals from Jeremic, Buchbinder and the game-winner from Nelson over the final 2:30 edged Princeton past Brown for the victory.
No. 15 Princeton: 3 – 8 – 6 – 3 – 20
Penn: 5 – 4 – 3 – 3 – 15
Goals: Nelson 4, Fink 3, Wachtell 2, Butler 3, Buchbinder 4, Jeremic 3, Kuprenas 1
Assists: Nelson 2, Galainena 2, Fink 2, Butler 2, Buchbinder 2, Jeremic 1, Amina 3
Steals: Kermode 1, Nelson 3, Galainena 2, Wachtell 1, Butler 3, Buchbinder 1, Jeremic 1, Amina 2
Saves: Amina 11
No. 15 Princeton: 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 13
Brown: 2 - 4 - 4 - 2 - 12

PrimeraDx's IcePlex quantitative multiplex PCR system and C. difficile detection assay were both awarded a European CE mark. The technology exploits the firm's clinical platform that combines PCR with capillary electrophoresis.
PrimeraDx is developing a range of assay for its IcePlex system, spanning infectious diseases, oncology, and companion diagnostics. The firm's IcePlex system is based on its STAR technology, which uses sequential sampling of PCR products and capillary electrophoresis detection for quantitative detection, and the capacity to measure up to 60 analytes in a single sample. PrimeraDx currently has a pipeline of assay kits that are in various stages of development and regulatory approval.
The firm's aim is both to sell the system in open platform mode to clinical laboratories, and also to collaborate with the pharmaceutical industry for the development of companion and enabling diagnostics. It claims the IcePlex technology can be used to design complex multi-modal assays for disparate target types, including SNPs, expression biomarkers, microRNAs, and fusion genes.
"Obtaining the CE mark on our instrument and assay is an important step in the process of global commercialization of our extensive pipeline of molecular diagnostics products in infectious disease and oncology," comments president and CEO Matt McManus, Ph.D. "The CE mark demonstrates to current and future customers, and strategic partners, our ability to develop and support high-quality diagnostic products."

So if you have read any of my recent threads you have probably figured out that I have an intellectual boner for PZ Myers.
Here is a vid of him: http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/12740
This video will either bore you to tears or enthrall you. Two biologist bloggers talk about pirates, biology, creationists and hovind; and other stuff I assume I'm only half way through it.
Well, that is an interesting blog but what I really wanted to discuss with this thread is the fact that my darling nephew whom I adore is about to graduate university with a degree in computer science.
When he was first enrolling he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life and his grandmother (my mother) was forcing him into nursing. Now, he is quite a lot like me and not much of a people person at all, so I talked him into changing his major to computer science (which is something I am interested in, and so is he I believe.) I literally picked the classes for him for the first two semesters. I was better at it than his guidance counselor, or so I believe. Actually, I know I was picking better classes than that douche hat. Or maybe that is my ego speaking. I have this nasty habit of thinking I know better than most people...
Anyway, now that he has 9 credit hours left he is considering starting all over with a new major in Biology or maybe Psych. He can't decide, but is leaning toward biology. So we talk about Biology a lot and we surf a lot of the same blogs. And that is what brought me to PZ Myers and he really is brilliant. But that isn't the point of this thread either. I am getting to it, I promise.
Point A.)
I don't think you should have to pick your major at the age of 18. You don't know enough about yourself or life to really set a life goal and chose a proper direction.
You should just start with some basic core classes that everyone should take anyway. Basic Math, Psych, English, Speech, Writing, Computer Literacy, etc. Then pick a major a year or two later, when you know more about yourself.
Seriously, any 18 year old who thinks they know much about life and where they want to end is either delusional or lying to themselves. Life is too short for either of those.
Point B.)
Was I wrong to push him? Should I have butted out and left him to nursing? It's closer to Biology than Computer Science. I can see him as either a network admin or a scientist in a lab, but I can't see him coaxing a child into letting him give them a shot.
Point C.)
Completely unrelated and yet hilarious... Drunk History... Just watch it. I laughed until I wheezed.
Point D.)
I seen Good Luck Chuck last night. OMGSOFUNNY. I nearly fell off the couch laughing.
Her: "I love you."
Him: "That's nice."
Her: "I am licking sand off your balls and the best you can do is 'That's nice'?"
Extremely raunchy humor... Raunchier than 40 Year Old Virgin, and 10x as funny.
The grapefruit scene with the little scrubby thing... That shocked me. And I have been on the internet since I was about 14. That's almost 12 years of internet perversion and a movie managed to shock me. Impressive. Watch it.
Point E.)
Am I ranting? I am being rather random, I know. I have had like 4 cups of coffee and my mind is racing. So as a result I am having a hard time being cohesive.


text: Really nicely executed series of poster designs for the film 'Buried' starring Ryan Reynolds. However I wonder why the production companies always do this? I mean – you wouldn't see a gig poster, brochure or book cover designed in two to three opposing styles simultaneously for the first edition or release. It's almost as each one sets a distinctly different tone for the movie (I'm thinking homage to Hitchcock versus typically modern Hollywood). I guess I won't know until actually I go and see it. Anyway they all look great, so here they are.

NCDOT to temporarily close I-85 to demolish bridge
Published: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 9:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 9:02 a.m.
The N.C. Department of Transportation will close Interstate 85 in both directions overnight for three days this week to demolish and remove the Clark Road bridge.
The closure will occur between N.C. Highway 150 (Exit 84) and Belmont Road (Exit 86).
NCDOT will close the interstate in both directions nightly from between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Tuesday to Thursday, weather permitting, to demolish and remove the Clark Road bridge over I-85.
In preparation for this work, crews may also install lane closures in both the northbound and southbound directions, from 8 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
During the interstate closure, all traffic will be directed to exit I-85 and follow a signed detour.
Motorists traveling on I-85 North will exit at N.C. 150 (Exit 84); turn left onto N.C. 150; turn right onto Old Salisbury Road and proceed for approximately two miles; and turn right onto Belmont Road and proceed to the I-85 North entrance ramp on the right.
Motorists traveling on I-85 South will exit at Belmont Road (Exit 86); turn left onto Belmont Road; turn left onto Old Salisbury Road and proceed for approximately two miles; and turn left onto N.C. 150 and proceed to the I-85 South entrance ramp on the left.
During the closures, signs will alert motorists to the detour, and law enforcement officers will be present to assist with traffic flow. NCDOT encourages drivers to go slow and allow additional time to reach their destinations safely while traveling in the work zone. Traffic flow can be monitored via live cameras on the project website.
The removal of the Clark Road bridge is part of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project, the state's top mobility project. NCDOT broke ground in September 2010 on the southern segment of the project, which involves replacing eight bridges, widening 3.3 miles of I-85 from just north of Long Ferry Road (Exit 81) to just north of N.C. 150 and reconstructing the N.C. 150 interchange. The northern segment extends the interstate widening by an additional 3.8 miles from just north of N.C. 150 to just north of I-85 Business. Work on both segments is concurrent and scheduled to be complete in late summer.
For more information on both phases of the $201.5 million project, visit www.i-85yadkinriver.com. To receive instant updates on traffic pattern changes, construction-related congestion and project milestones, follow NCDOT's I-85 Twitter feed, https://twitter.com/NCDOT_I85.

ZF-11992: Wrong date in Zend_Date
I have the code: $days = 12 $today = new Zend_Date(date('Y-m-d'), 'YYYY-MM-dd'); $minusTwoWeeks = $today->subDay($days); echo date('Y-m-d', $minusTwoWeeks->toValue());
Today is 2012-01-12 So I receive 2011-12-31 And it is correct. If I change $days to 10, I receive 2012-01-02 and it is also correct. But if I change $days to 11 I receive 2011-01-02. The year is incorrect! I tried several times, the result was the same. Then I waited 15 minutes, after that everything became good. 2012-01-01. But why it has changed?
Can you provide an exact date/time (down to the second) at which is error occurs? As you said it didn't recur when you tried again later, we'll need more than just the Ymd to dig deeper.
Just adding some example code that showing the problem http://pastebin.com/MFgbuy5f
This problem appears only when we use the 1st day of the year.
It happens in 1.11.11 and 1.9.6 (don't bother, it was a old Magento Install).
Fixed in trunk with r24880; will release with 1.12.0.
Basically, Zend_Date converts all formats to ISO 8601 standards. This means that "o" is used for the year instead of "Y". If you look at http://php.net/date you'll see an interesting note for "o" -- when the day of the week falls within the last week of the previous year, "o" will evaluate to the previous year. As such, I've added a regex that will replace "o" with "Y" when not preceded by an escape, thus giving us the desired behavior.
Uhm, however that was expected behaviour! See the note just before http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/…
I've been looking all over for this 'suddenly' altered behaviour. I'm sticking with the manual that states that using uppercase Y's will return me the week-based ISO year.
And, I'll add another comment to this one. I'd opened a new bug for this, however that got closed with the remark that the original one should be reopend. So, please do so. This implementation actually breaks my applications and it actually degrades my opinion of the stability of ZF since it doesn't even conform to its own manual anymore!
@Peter Can you help me and provide some examples which I can use for unit test? That would be great. I am very busy, because I work on the next release (1.12.2) and also on the ZF website.
Thanks in advance.
Sure, the test is quite simple (adhering to the manual that is :)).
$date = new Zend_Date('2012-12-31');
echo $date->toString('c'); // ISO conforming string: 2012-12-31T00:00:00+01:00 (I'm in Europe/Amsterdam tz)
$calendarYear = $date->get(Zend_Date::YEAR); // Expect 2012
$isoBasedYear = $date->get(Zend_Date::YEAR_8601); // Expect 2013
echo '
'.$calendarYear.' vs. '.$isoBasedYear; {quote} The original mentioned problem is the other way around (the first day of 2012 (2012-01-01) falls in the last week of the previous year and should render '2012 vs. 2011'). However it is simply a misinterpretation of how the different tokens work. In the more elaborate example from pastebin he actually tests both uppercase and lowercase y and deduces that, without argumentation, they should actually be the same (with which I obviously disagree :)).

The Black Crowes are a gateway band for me--from first time they burst into public consciousness and into my ears, they helped introduce me to a lot of classic rock I had largely dismissed as a young punk. It started with the cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" on their first album, and continued through the years via covers delivered in almost every live show I've seen of the Brothers Robinson and Co.
Twenty-plus years since I first saw them at the old Speedway Cafe, opening for a band called Junkyard a few months before The Black Crowes released their first album Shake Your Moneymaker, the band remains one of my favorite live acts, consistently delivering energetic sets of their Southern rock-meets-Brit blues, all led by Chris Robinson out front, arguably one of the best frontmen around. His Jagger/Stewart moves and raspy wail are joyful to behold--it's pretty hard not to have a great time when you're watching him on stage.
Sunday at Red Butte Garden, the Black Crowes found themselves in an ideal concert environment for a show that skittered across their catalog, as well as well-chosen covers of songs that served to connect the band to the musicians who influenced them.
Show opener "Under a Mountain" was clearly inspired by the venue, the sunset glowing off the hills to the east of the stage as the band began right around 7 p.m. Chris Robinson, a lanky shaman dancing barefoot around the stage, engaged immediately with the audience who hustled up front to dance to the soulful hooks erupting from Robinson, his brother/guitarist Rich Robinson, and the others on stage.
"She Gave Good Sunflower" three songs in infused the crowd with a collective energy that only grew as the sun went down and the show moved forward. And the follow-up, "My Morning Song" from 1992's Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, was a strong display of the band's skills, particularly new guitarist Jackie Greene. His solo excursions played nicely against Rich Robinson's rhythm parts, and made the departure from the band of guitar ace Luther Dickenson not nearly as traumatic a shift in the band's dynamic as it might have been.
Stellar performances of "Shine Along," "Thorn in My Pride" and he band's breakthrough ballad "She Talks to Angels" led into the strongest portion of the night, a run through "Wiser Time," a righteous cover of "Feeling Alright," an inspired take on the band's own "Remedy," and then Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle."
That burst led right into a pleasant surprise, a cover of Billy Joe Royal's "Hush," made famous to me by Deep Purple. In decades of listening to the Black Crowes, and hearing them cover songs by the Dead, The Band and myriad others, I never would have expected such a strong version of that old nugget. It made me want to hit iTunes before the show even ended.
An encore of "Magic Rooster Blues" and Ry Cooder's "Boomer's Story" was the capper on a raucous show that had the audience filling Red Butte Garden on its feet for nearly every minute. Seeing a band this far into its career--having survived lineup changes and the antagonistic relationship of the Robinson brothers--still killing it on stage is a wonder.
Here's hoping we have plenty of more chances to see them. A regular summer stop at Red Butte Garden would seem to be in order.

By Mawuse Ziegbe
Memorial Day weekend '08 I wasn't passed out, tummy distended, on somebody's gritty Brooklyn "rooftop lounge." Instead, I trekked to the Midwest to take in The Detroit Electronic Music Festival. Everyone from Mark Farina to Richie Hawtin to Benny Benassi to The Cool Kids camped out near downtown Detroit's Renaissance Center as I spent Memorial Day weekend in a flurry of D&B, hard house, deep house, minimal tech and corn dogs (I'd never had a corn dog before, those things were delish!).
Day 1
I began my Midwest sojourn by flying on the ever dodgy Spirit Air which had $9 fare sales but the seats looked like they were ripped open by a cat. An angry cat. When I touched down my friend gave me two things that apparently make Detroit really special: Faygo soda and BetterMade chips. They were like Sunkist and Lays on steroids. Angry steroids. Favoring proximity to the festival over any semblance of quality, we checked into the Comfort Inn; replete with unidentified stains on the curtains and a view of, um, the parking lot. But that night I hit up a party with a grip of house artists (what is the point of Detroit without house music) just off Jefferson ave. We got there wicked late and the music was fine, sultry, epic deep house. But loud. Lawd-a-mercy, everywhere in the D everything was just too dang loud! We went to sleep to rest our swollen eardrums.

Day 2
Comfort Inn was giving us the willies so we upgraded to the St. Regis which at least looked like there was a washing machine on the premises. Then we got brunch at the Detroit Breakfast House and Grill. A lot of restaurants in the Motor City have adorable entrees like "Shoo-Bee-Doo-Waffles" and we tucked into some Bananas Foster pancakes and sky-high stuffed French toast. With our diabetes-inducing brunch packed in our stomachs we moseyed to the festival. Raves are still de rigueur in the D as tweeny girls with neon clip-on dreads and buzzed guys with Freshjive wide-leg pants milled about (Since pants are so passé, many girls just cut off the pant legs and taped them around their thighs). The festival grounds included two stages, two DJ set-ups and this underground lair called Real Detroit. Egyptian Lover put on a truly epic hour-plus performance on the Red Bull Music Academy stage and later I caught Mike Grant puttin' it down in the lair. The hottest part of the night was Pete Rock who threw down a Pu Pu Platter of regional classics with early '90s jams by Snoop Dogg and Biggie. The crowd was ravenous for more, even though the sound cut out on the last song, his own hallmark track with C.L. Smooth, "T.R.O.Y." We ended the night watching Moby pack the Vitamin Water outdoor amphitheater with tons of die-hards bopping to Basement Jaxx and beyond. It was like something straight out of the '9-9-6.

All day we'd been jonesing for a party that was straight of the '9-7-6: Soul Skate '08. It was a skate-party at Northland Skating Rink where even Amp Fiddler came to roll, bounce. And this is one of the ways the Midwest kills New York: good clean fun. There were couples, singles, groups and teams teeming with good Midwestern spunk, gliding along while Motown favorites and funk staples blared from the speakers. Then there was a skate competition where suave teams from Chicago, wiry pimpalicious old-heads and fresh young anklebiters in sagging pants went at it, flippin' around, spinning on one skate and whatnot. But the victors were a buxom couple that swirled along to Ne-Yo's "Can We Chill." Three cheers for love.
Day 3
After another boozy…er, social brunch, we went thrifting where I picked up a checkered gingham number (you just don't find quality gingham in the city) and a tailored gray shift. Then, galvanized by the wonders on wheels from the night before, I promptly bought some roller-skates (I've been actually wheeling around at parties like a lunatic since). We made it back to the festival grounds where we saw the one-man party that is Girl Talk. Known for his storied, blithe electro mixes he was all brash, shirtless cock-rock excess, playing to a stacked crowd of admirers. On the other side of the festival and the performance spectrum, Carl Craig spun a tidy, minimal house set that, sadly, served as little more than electronic muzak.
Afterwards, we jetted to Detroit venue The Magic Stick where 2 Live Crew performed. We wanted to go to check out one of the legendary pillars of shock rap who even fought for their right to be nasty all the way to the Supreme Court. Following a warm-up by Peanut Butter Wolf, they demonstrated many reasons why today they can barely pack a living room. For one, those fools have no stage presence. What's changed now is that they're older and creaking across the stage, damn near wheezing out their rhymes. And their rhymes are not good elbow-nudging fun; they're horrifyingly obtuse, boorish and offensive. Times when a swear word is far from necessary, the Crew will jam in three. What really torpedoed my innocence were their dancers. Women who were probably full of life and naturally occurring collagen back in 1992 were slower, um, wider and less artful about jigglin' it. One lady went completely topless as flabbergasted fans flashed camera phones and dollar bills. It went from Magic Stick to Magic City with one flick of a tube top. Even The Cool Kids watched, mouths agape, at the pandemonium. I was pretty much done.
I had an early flight and went straight to the airport after the show. Overall, I really found the city charming. There's not much development so it's fixed in time; lots of grand marquees and restaurants that haven't switched up the décor since the 1930s. Not many people and very spread out so it's a relatively quiet big city with a pretty cool view of Canada. It's scrappy and things shutter early but it was a welcome respite from the glass castles, grimy debris and endless buzz of NYC. Beer, brunch and beats – I could call the trip "Shoo-Bee-Doo-Wonderful."

More: Can you explain what you do at Lisa M. Dietlin and Associates?
Lisa Dietlin: I used to fundraise at universities and colleges. Donors would tell me that after making a donation, sometimes it felt like they never heard from us again until we asked for more money. It felt like a transaction, and they really wanted to change something or transform it. So now I say that we help change philanthropy from a transactional feeling to transformational feeling.
More: How do you do that?
LD: We work both with the nonprofit organization and the donor to set reasonable expectations for what each party wants out of the relationship. Usually, a nonprofit group might not contact a donor again for a year for fear of messing up the relationship. In the meantime, those who donated the money are wondering where exactly their money went.
We're trying to bridge what seems like an abyss between the nonprofit and the donor. Don't just write the check—get involved. You have to keep open lines of communication and not worry that every time you talk to the nonprofit they're going to ask for money. Develop that relationship. Get involved yourself by serving on the board or volunteering. For example, you could read to kids in the exact library where you helped to put books on the shelves.
More: Did you always know you were going to start your own business?
LD: I was never going to be a business owner—I was going to be a university president. I started in political fundraising and then moved into higher education, raising money for public universities in Michigan and Illinois. I was the person who met with alumni and corporations and solicited funds.
At a certain point, my friends on nonprofit boards started coming to me for advice. Of course I had a full time job, so I'd have them buy me a cup of coffee and we'd talk over whatever their problem was. They started paying me for advice, and then one day my evening and weekend earnings were more than my gross take-home, and I thought to myself, "I have a business here."
More: What advice would you give to women who are looking to start their own business?
LD: Have the courage to do it—there will be lot people telling you not to and to keep your day job. People give up so easily. My dream is to have a TV show dedicated to philanthropy. I was able to talk to the head of NBC and he told me that the sector was too small. At first I felt defeated. But then I did the research and realized that there are 12 million people in this field. It has a huge impact on the economy. His pushing back didn't make me give up; it made me do my homework. Now I appear on NBC in Chicago. Don't give up.
More: What would you suggest to a reader who has no experience with nonprofits but is looking to get involved?
LD: First, think about what you have in your life or what you may be lacking that you want to share with others. For instance, if you love animals but you don't have any pets, you could volunteer at a shelter. Try many things at first, but when you make a commitment, stick with it. If you don't have a nonprofit in mind, do a search online. Charity Navigator, GuideStar and the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance are all great resources.
You should also make a budget every year for what you can afford to contribute. I don't recommend getting involved in more than three organizations as you'll likely get overwhelmed and burned out. Make sure to set a little money aside for those unexpected requests—charity walks, awareness months—that can arise from neighbors and family members. And it's okay to say no. Don't let guilt drive your philanthropic decisions.

Finding a Caffarel product not in a trade show always feels like striking gold to me. They're an Italian confectionery company with an outstanding line of chocolate products. ON the rare occasions I find their booths and am able to sample some of their many delights and am always impressed with design, texture and flavors. So color my surprised when I was visiting a store during a trip through Topanga Canyon where I found some Caffarel products. Eureka!
This is a bar of their Gianduja, or hazelnut/chocolate mixture which is perfected by the Italians. The bar comes in a yellow wrapper that has lots of Rococo styled art and motifs and its feels very Easter-like.
The gianduja is a beautiful creamy middle brown color with a matte surface. It's sectioned off into squares, two for each row which are about one inch by one inch squares that each have the Caffarel logo molded on them. The aroma is sweet and creamy with a hint of nuttiness.
The chocolate gianduja is extremely rich and creamy and melts beautifully. The flavor tastes very strongly hazelnut, with its rich nutty flavor and nice creamy, toasted notes. The hazelnut is the star, as I don't get a lot of chocolate flavor here. If I could compare it to Nutella, the flavor is more refined, but less chocolately. It's really awesome.
I wish Caffarel's products were more widely available in the US. They have wonderful flavors that stand out amongst a lot of the confections we get here which can just taste overly sweet. So if you ever come across a Caffarel chocolate bar, I recommend you try it, as like this bar in the review here it's bound to be really tasty and a rare treat.
