Expiration Date:?Apr 2020Expiration 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.

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.

Phytosterols are natural components of many vegetables and grains. Preliminary scientific evidence suggests that plant phytosterols may help to support cholesterol wellness when consumed as part of a low cholesterol dietary program. The three main phytosterols in phytosterol complex are beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. They are natural, safe and derived entirely from plant sources.

This product has helped me have complete relief from the symptoms of enlarged prostate with previous PSA test results that were relatively high. My PSA results had doubled in just one year (1.7 to 3.2). I was experiencing urinary urgency and frequency. I would awake after about 2 hours of sleep having pain and trouble voiding. Urine would barely trickle out. Sometimes it would not evacuate at all. I was worried. I couldn't go longer than 2-3 hours of sleep at a time. I knew my bladder had not emptied but no more urine would come out. I was miserable. I am only 59. I did an internet search and learned about Beta Sitosterol. I experienced nearly immediate relief of symptoms by doubling the mega dose over a 3 day period. I then backed off to using just the 375 mg dose to see if the symptoms remained relieved. They have. My PSA dropped to 2.7 after just two weeks of taking the Beta Sitosterol. I am thoroughly pleased with this product as it was the least expensive of all the other preparations containing Beta Sitosterol. I am amazed at two main things: IT IS EFFECTIVE! and my Urologist has downplayed the significance of it simply because it is an herbal product. He is a good urologist, I am sure. But, he has been negatively biased by the allopathic branch of medicine.
This compound contains a sufficient dosage of plant sterols to significantly lower cholesterol, in alignment with research protocols that have been conducted over the past several years. Many other products contain low levels of plant sterols. If taken as recommended, this one slightly exceeds the amount necessary to lower your cholesterol. I have seen a 20% drop in my total cholesterol level by using this product. Please remember that consistent exercise and eating a low cholesterol diet will also help!

Excellent Value, good quality

Only one of these capsules is required per day, so it makes them good value for money.
Using for BPH
Posted by 5188689087008826149 on May 04, 2016
Research has shown me that Beta Sitosterol can be beneficial in the treatment of BPH. I have been using this product for a number of weeks now and my symptoms (ease of urination) have improved. I am also taking Avodart and Minipress which my Doctor has prescribed. I do believe in a holistic approach to healing and so are taking a number of different products which includes Beta Sitosterol. From reading reviews Source Naturals appears to be a top brand.
Taking this for cholesterol instead of Statins...
Posted by Reviewer2573230 on Apr 04, 2016
There are so many reports from my relatives of side effects from prescribed statins such as weakness, leg cramping and more that I decided to not take prescribed statins and take this instead for cholesterol. I will have blood work done in november and I will compare my last years cholesterol with this years after being on this product for 5 months by that time. The price is reasonable to me...and the amount is good in the strength.. I have had no side effects since starting it 2 weeks ago.. SheriT

So sorry for what you're going through. Can imagine the not knowing to be awful. If you've had no cramps or clots then that's a good thing, but unfortunately the scan is your only way of knowing. Lots of women have bleeding during the early stages. Try your hardest not to worry and take it easy over the weekend.

Europe's Stocks to Watch: Heineken, Carlsberg, Vestas
Shares in Heineken NV (HEIA.AE), the world's No. 3 brewer by sales, fell 2.6% after saying it expects economic uncertainty and weak consumer sentiment to persist in many of its key markets while reporting a 16.6% fall in first-half net profit.
Analysts at Citigroup said results were disappointing, with volumes of the group's beer sales dropping 3.4% in the first half of the year compared with Citigroup's estimate of a fall of 2.4%. Earnings per share came in at 1.18 euros, 2.5% below consensus.
The bank's analysts also pointed to the company's cautious outlook. Despite the excellent weather across Western Europe in July, the management is saying that "it doesn't expect a material change to underlying trading conditions across the majority of its markets," noted Citigroup. "This suggests consensus is around 3% too high."
Continuing the brewing theme, Carlsberg A/S (CARL-A.KO) reported a 36% fall in second-quarter net profit from a year earlier, citing from the Russian government's aim to reduce alcohol consumption and relatively bad weather in Europe.
Carlsberg made a big bet on Eastern Europe in 2008 when it bought the 50% it didn't already own in Baltika Breweries, the market leader in Russia. However, recently introduced restrictions on advertisements and sales from street-side kiosks have crimped growth.
That said, shares in the Danish brewer climbed 1% Wednesday, with Citigroup pointing to gains in the company's market share in its important russian market, despite the drop in overall beer volumes.
"We doubt these results will alter many investors' opinions on Carlsberg," said the analysts at Citigroup. "On the positive side, margins are good and market share is strong, but this is offset by weak demand in Russia, and with the economy deteriorating, there is little sign that improvement is likely to come soon."
Elsewhere, shares in Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWS.KO) climbed 7.5% after the Danish wind-turbine maker, the world's biggest by sales, named Anders Runevad as chief executive, replacing long-standing CEO Ditlev Engel. At the same time the Danish maker of wind turbines reported a second-quarter net loss of 62 million euros ($83.2 million), following a 26% decline in revenue to €1.19 billion.
Mr. Engel had overseen a drastic restructuring program as Vestas came close to financial collapse last year. That said, "the company is now entering a new phase, where we want to realize our growth potential, and I am confident that Mr. Runevad has the right experience to lead the company," said Vestas Chairman Bert Nordberg.

Women's Health
Your Privates Problems -- Solved
By Janis Graham
Discomfort "down there" doesn't always mean what you think.
Worried you have a yeast infection? Don't be so quick to diagnose -- or treat -- yourself. "About 75 percent of women who believe their symptoms signal a yeast infection have something else," says Jennifer Gunter, M.D., director of pelvic pain and vulvovaginal disorders at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center. What's more, improper diagnosis and treatment can have long-term effects: Some vaginal infections increase your risk of infertility, complicated pregnancies, and contracting certain STDs. Use our guide to determine the real source of your troubles -- and the right cure.
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
Symptoms: A fishy-smelling, watery discharge that's particularly noticeable
after intercourse; itchiness.
How you get it: About 46 percent of women who visit their doctor to treat a vaginal infection have BV. It's caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that normally reside in the vagina. Experts aren't sure what triggers this overgrowth, but douching, using an intrauterine device (IUD), or having a new sex partner can alter vaginal bacteria levels and increase susceptibility.
What to do: See your ob/gyn right away to check for evidence of a bacterial overgrowth. Women with BV are more likely to contract HIV if exposed, and to suffer from pelvic scarring, which can lead to infertility. BV is also linked to low birth weight and preterm birth in pregnant women. The infection is easily treated with antibiotics, but be aware: It returns in up to 30 percent of women within three months. If that happens, you may need a longer course of medication.
Trichomoniasis (trich)
Symptoms: A frothy, yellow-green discharge; a musty odor; bleeding after
How you get it: Trich is the most common curable STD in young, sexually active women and is caused by a parasite that passes from partner to partner. Like BV, the infection is linked to preterm delivery and low birth weight. Men may experience itching or burning after urination or ejaculation but are often asymptomatic, which may be why trich is easily spread.
What to do: See your gyno. Trich can be cured with a single dose of the antibiotics tinidazole or metronidazole. Your partner should seek treatment too.

text: ABG, I just read that article from the Chicago paper that you had linked. I am in shock that the people would allow an unrepented admitted child molester in the pulpit and allow him access to their kids. The congregations excuse is that they believe in forgiveness. They apparently do not believe in the protection of innocence or the Biblical requirements for a pastor or understand that he is unrepentant. God help those kids!

Last night I had a big mushy mess. I had some cooked egg noodles at room temperature. I heated up a pan of hot oil and put the egg noodles in. It sounded like it was cooking them just right, that sizzling sound. Then about a minute later, it all started to get mushy. Well, I guess I did something wrong. They were thrown out.
Now, I have never looked at a recipe for it, so thought I would try it. So, now I am asking for a recipe that someone has actually made.
Do the noodles need to be cooked, or do you fry them up uncooked? Do I need to add anything to it to fry it up also?
Everything is okay in the end, if it's not okay, then it's not the end.
The way I've fried noodles is to use well drained ones so they aren't wet. Yes, they are cooked. I put some butter in a frying pan and cook them over about medium heat till they brown lightly. It takes awhile to do this because if you cook them too hot, they can burn. I just salt and pepper them and that's all I do! My mom used to make them for me a lot when I was a kid.
I think it's harder to brown them now with the ones that are so curly. When I was young, the noodles were straighter.
You can still buy the straight shorter egg noodles in the jewish section of the grocery store called Manischewitz. I love them and think they are superior to other brands. There is another brand that starts with a S.

Thanks! I'll look for those!
We always use butter for frying ours. (med to lower heat) Most of the time, we first fry shredred cabbage till lightly brown and limp, then add cooked noodles.if you want add bacon bits to this. Heat to warm all. Veygood..
I love fried noodles and use any leftover pasta I have on hand.
A few things I find help--don't overcook the pasta when you originally boil it. Normally, I don't rinse pasta, but for frying, it's a help to rinse off the excess starch after cooking. They need to be well-drained as mentioned above. I get my pain moderately hot--and add equal parts safflower oil and butter--that raises the smoking temperature of the butter, so you can cook them safely at a higher temp. I don't use too low a temp--takes too long to get them browned and crisp that way. If you keep an eye on them, while cooking, you can chance cooking higher, and they won't burn. Oh, if I'm doing something curly (rotini, for example) I put a stainless steel lid that's smaller than the skillet I'm using, right on the noodles and place a couple of weights on it to weigh the noodles down so they make better contact with the pan. Cast iron skillet, of course.
I need to get out more. I have never heard of frying noodles. They sound good, though, and it makes perfect sense to fry them, given what they're made of. I don't fry things often, but I'm going to try these.
So do you have them as a side to something particular?
Fried spaghettti has always been a big thing in my family. Just toss leftover pasta and sauce and refrigerate until you are ready to make it. Add a bit of oil to the fry pan and fry it it up. Always liked it that way and I don't care for many leftovers.
I also make Chinese noodles. Add two to one soy sauce to oil to the fry pan, heat, add the al dente noodles and fry, not too hot. Shapes work best for this. My kids used to call them brown noodles. The original recipe calls for some MSG but although it heightens the flavor, my migraines don't like that addition.This is especially good as a side with steak. Usually I use wagon wheels or penne.

OMWord, Joe! That sounds SO scrumptious!
The only way I've ever fried noodles is when I add some beaten eggs, scallions and sometimes shredded cheese, salt and pepper. I use a little canola oil with a pat of butter. Sometimes we pour left-over chili over it.
Cook the noodles done but not mushy. Yes it helps to rinse them but drain well. Use butter not oil. You can:
1. Brown seasoned breadcrumbs in butter over medium heat - melt more butter (more butter!) in another pan and add the drained noodles - med. heat - stir gently - stir in breadcrumbs. OR
2. Melt butter (about 2-3 T) in skillet - med heat - add noodles and toss to coat with butter then pour in one or two beaten eggs (can add some milk to the eggs like you're making scrambled eggs). Also add some shredded cheese - cook until egg is set (keep stirring . . . ). Then top with those toasted breadcrumbs and toss again. OR
3. Just gently cook/brown the noodles in butter - can finish with a little grated Parmesan, parsley or whatever.
These are great with any plain meat. I don't have a "real" recipe but have watched Mom make these for 50 years. We do it the same way but mine don't taste like hers!
They are the only noodles I buy. They are far superior to the regular brands.
I didnt know you could fry them.
I think the last ones I bought were straight, and I got them at Walmart. Either that, or they were very old.
i always fry my leftover spaghetti.....and sometimes i shred some sharp chesse and melt that right in with it...we love it!!!
molyI also make Chinese noodles. Add two to one soy sauce to oil to the fry pan, heat, add the al dente noodles and fry, not too hot.
I make a version of low mein with leftover spaghetti. I saute and onion and a little garlic. I add low sodium soy sauce and some hoisin sauce.Then I usually add a cooked scrambled egg at the very end. I like to let the spaghetti set in one place so it browns and gets a little crunchy. I make fried rice the same way.

I'm conflicted on this one. I am very sentimental toward incoming freshmen– we definitely want them to have a positive experience during the orientation process. All of our incoming students use the Library to register for classes, giving us great exposure: they get to see all the computers, the cafe, the space, the possibilities.
In the past we've closed a portion of our main lab to accommodate this process, however next week we're closing our entire lab to current students in favor of incoming students. Sure there are other locations on campus as well as within the Library for current students to use computers (and technically they are required to own computers) but I hate displacing them. Next week is the week before finals, so you can imagine they will be a little stressed.
It's an interesting question of priority. Do you favor the incoming students, making sure that their initial experience on campus are very positive, make them feel welcomed, be accommodating, or… do you take care of the students who are already here, who are in class, and who have already paid tuition?
We'll see how it shakes down. Last week we closed half of our main lab for orientation and the side designated for current students was filled– so I anticipate many students feeling slighted in favor of incoming freshmen– it's a matter of seniority, and this time baby brother won out. This is what Tech students commonly refer to as "the shaft" — the administrative fabric of the campus (including us) purposefully aiming to make the experience as difficult and inconvenient as possible.
Like I said, I'm pretty torn on this decision. One thing I do like though is that when students go to register they keep parents away– all those Helicopter Parents just want to cry as their son goes off on his own– it's kind of fun to watch actually.

If you're a late-night-eating, carb-and-cheese-loving, three-too-many drinks kind of person like me, than Nacho Borracho might just be your new favorite nighttime hangout, with food served until 2 a.m.
"You have to try the nachos," owner Rachel Marshall told me, before I stopped by the bar and restaurant on Broadway. "Our queso is awesome. We start with a whole block of real cheddar to make the sauce. Since we use queso instead of grated cheddar, the chips are much easier to pick up and there isn't that weird hardening that happens."
And she's right. I recently downed a plate of the nachos for dinner, washed down with a frozen Blood Orange Moscow Mule, and there was nary a piece of hard cheese to be found.
Nacho Borracho has been open for 6 months now, at 209 Broadway East, near Charlie's. Marshall says the initial launch of Nacho Borracho was a little rocky, for several reasons:
First of all, she said people didn't seem to really understand that Nacho Borracho is primarily a bar. Yes, they have those carbs I mentioned to help curb the effect of swilling the margaritas on tap; but it's still a bar. The menu is small and the food is cooked to order, but drinks are the main focus.
Secondly, Marshall just had a baby and doing anything with an infant adds a layer of complexity to life.
Thirdly, Broadway is a tough place for any new business, now that the Pike/Pine corridor has become the hip spot for nightlife.
Fourthly, Marshall and co-owner Kate Opatz aren't exactly bored. The friends opened up the Capitol Hill bar Montana last year and Marshall is always busy with her other business, Rachel's Ginger Beer.
But, despite some negative Yelp reviews at launch, Marshall says business is really picking up and she's feeling good about things.
"You know, Montana hit its stride immediately," she told me. "Nacho Borracho has been more difficult, but we're still really excited and proud of it. And people seem to be really getting what it's about now."
Marshall also says she's proud to have opened on Broadway, despite it being a tougher challenge for bars and restaurants.
"Broadway is so cool," she said. "I love driving down it and looking at all of the neon lights and beautiful trees. Broadway deserves some investment. Sure, it's harder. But it's worth it. I'm glad we're taking the risk, working really hard, and taking the time to nurture it."
The atmosphere at Nacho Borracho is dark and relaxed. It's bigger than Montana, but has Marshall and Opatz's signature: giant booths.
"We wanted it to be dark, cozy, and friendly. We like booths you can disappear into," she said. "We really want to go for un-pretentious. Kate and I like to open places where we'd like to go. And we really thought there weren't a lot of places for great nachos on the Hill."
Marshall spent months working on the cocktails before the launch of Nacho Borracho. She wanted to make sure they were offering something new, not the same drinks on the menu as at Montana or RGB Market. You'll find interesting frozen concoctions like avocado margaritas (I wasn't brave enough to try one), different fruit-flavored Moscow Mules, and the "Vitamin T" made with fresh-squeezed orange juice, passion fruit, tequila, lime, and curacao. They also have classics like margaritas and negroni on tap.
On the menu, you'll find the regular nachos as well as "totchos," made with tater tots instead of chips. There's also wings, flautas, and plenty of other options to completely ruin whatever diet you're currently on.
If you're sick of always eating late-night pizza at Hot Mama's and Mario's, or whatever's being served up by the food carts, Marshall says she's wants you to stop by.
"It's really important that we stay open and serve food until 2 a.m.," she said. "Even if it's slow, there may be that one person who just got off work who really wants something to eat. If we're closed, that's a really bad experience for them and they may not come back. So trust us, we'll be open."
And that's the overall theme for Marshall when it comes to running her businesses: consistency.
"You need to have good employees, consistent service, and consistent hours," she said, when I asked about the key to her success. "People are fickle and one bad experience can make you lose them forever."

De Blasio Keeping Schools Chancellor Candidates Quiet
By Michael Howard Saul and Lisa Fleisher
New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio defended on Tuesday his plan not to identify prospective candidates for city Department of Education chancellor, despite promising last year that if elected he would ensure a "serious, serious public screening."
Mr. de Blasio said his comment from a year ago was a clear reference to an "unfortunate chapter" in city history when Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2010 tapped Cathie Black, a magazine executive with no teaching experience, to lead the nation's largest school system. Ms. Black, at the mayor's urging, stepped down after three months following a series of gaffes, the departure of high-level deputies and low public-approval ratings.
Ms. Black was selected without public input, sparking a backlash from parents.
"I am going to ensure that we will never have a situation like that again on my watch," Mr. de Blasio said Tuesday. "We are talking to a number of individuals with extraordinary careers in education and we are accepting nominations through our extraordinary transition leadership, through our large transition committee and through our website. So, this is an open process in the sense that any name can be put forward."
On Monday, Mr. de Blasio said, "We're not going to have a beauty contest. We're not going to put the different finalists on display. No."
When pressed how there could be a public screening when the identities of prospective candidates are secret, Mr. de Blasio said, "I'm defining what I was saying then and what I'm saying now."
Asked to respond to the mayor-elect's remarks, Ms. Black said the steps Mr. de Blasio is taking is "a process that should have been done before my appointment."
"I wish the next chancellor the best of luck," Ms. Black said. "And I think (current Chancellor) Dennis Walcott did a superb job."
A spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg declined to comment. While there was no public vetting before Ms. Black was appointed, there was intense scrutiny as she sought a waiver from the state because she lacked education experience.
At a mayoral forum in November 2012, Mr. de Blasio said his choice for chancellor would "definitely" be an educator and there would also be a "serious, serious public screening."
"Cathie Black was pushed down our throat because of mayoral control gone to an undemocratic level," he said then, adding, "we need a chancellor who is presented to the public, not pushed down our throat."
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Mr. de Blasio appointed a six-member working group to spearhead the development of his plan for universal pre-kindergarten. Mr. de Blasio said it would take several years to make pre-k universal, but he hoped to begin the initiative in September.

What we can learn from a store manager's reaction to a Boston bombing survivor's service dog
While the manager's request may not have been that extreme, the incident — and Sydney's emotional reaction — are indicative of a larger problem: many people struggle with silent injuries, and being called out over their service dogs can make them feel that others don't believe their conditions are real.

Wild sides: Parise and Konopka lead the Wild
MIKE MULLEN | Updated 2/14/2013
Back after a prolonged lockout, the Wild is led by two new faces: big-buck hometown star Zach Parise and bruised brawler Zenon Konopka.
Carlos Gonzalez
In May of 1991, Mario Lemieux was at the height of his dazzling powers. Over the course of a 4-2 Stanley Cup Finals win, the Pittsburgh Penguins star confounded opponents, at times literally skating circles around the Minnesota North Stars.
Watching the series intently was 7-year-old Zach Parise, a Minneapolis kid whose father, J.P., had played for the North Stars a decade earlier.
Much has changed since then. The North Stars relocated to Texas, and a new team sprouted up in their place. The boy, Parise, is now a man — a famous one, in fact, well liked and well compensated.
Thinking back to the 1991 Finals, Parise said he was just excited to watch the action. At the time, he wasn't emotionally invested in the fact that Minnesota, the State of Hockey, had never won a Stanley Cup. He is now.
"I think it would be awesome to win here, just because I'm a Minnesota sports fan," Parise said. "The team hasn't won, and it'd be pretty cool to be the first to do it." ⊲
With the signing of a 13-year, $98 million contract to join the Minnesota Wild last summer, Parise, 28, committed the prime of his career to changing the course of Minnesota hockey history. The team simultaneously announced the blockbuster signing of defenseman Ryan Suter, further spiking expectations.
If Parise, and the Wild, live up to those expectations, he stands poised to become the state's new favorite athlete. All the tools are present, including the collection of quick muscles in his wrists — which slingshot pucks goalbound with little warning — and around his mouth, which is easily, and often, drawn into a beaming smile.
Parise believes this Wild squad has the talent to play for trophies someday soon, and he should know. As captain of the New Jersey Devils last season, he helped that team reach the finals. Ultimately the Devils lost to the Los Angeles Kings, who managed to smother Parise, limiting him to a single goal in six games. It's still on his mind.
"You get reminded of things," Parise said. "And you wonder what you could've done differently. It's hard when you come up that close but a little short."
In comments echoed by his coach and teammates, Parise acknowledges that Minnesota has much work to do before even thinking about a deep playoffs run. Last season the Wild finished with a record of 35-36-11, missing the postseason and ranking last in the league with 177 goals.
In the early stages of this season, a lockout-shortened 48-game sprint to the playoffs, the team is trying to find its personality. Coach Mike Yeo said much-needed chemistry will come faster thanks to Parise's endurance, which enables him to log more minutes per game than all but a handful of NHL forwards, and the "shooter's mentality" which has at times been missing from the Wild.
"What we want out of [Parise] is what he is," Yeo said. "We don't want anything else, and we don't need anything else. He's a phenomenal player."
Teammate Dany Heatley, the team's leading scorer last season, knew enough of Parise's abilities before this season. But Heatley has noticed even more from playing alongside Parise, who joins Heatley and Mikko Koivu on the team's first line.
"Playing with [Parise], you realize how good he is," Heatley said. "He hounds the puck, he's real strong on it. But what I really like about him are the little plays he makes that no one really notices."
With six goals and four assists through nine games this season, Parise has also done plenty that everyone notices. If the team can find its stride in time, they might soon capture the imagination of youthful hockey fans who, like the young Parise, are unburdened by the weight of history, and want only to get caught up in the excitement of the game.

Guilin cuisine has been strongly influenced over the centuries by the food of its neighbouring provinces. Out of Canton, Sichuan, Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian cuisines, Cantonese and Sichuan dishes have proved the most enduring.
Popular Guilin dishes include stewed duck with gingko or ginger, Lipu taro pork, fried chicken with water chestnut, lotus-leaf duck (duck wrapped in a lotus leaf), Lo Han boiled chicken and sour fried dried fish, to name but a few!
Traditionally the Chinese have a holistic relationship with food and each dish has carefully selected ingredients believed to nourish and impart particular health benefits to the person who consumes it. For example, the Lipu taro pork dish is believed to extinguish unwelcome heat or inflammation within the body and improve your complexion!
Street snacks are just as popular in Guilin as the rest of China. Rice noodles can be found everywhere and form the basis of a tasty soup or stir-fry, usually with meat or a meat stock. Vegetarians might want to seek out nun noodles, which are boiled with a tasty stock of bean sprouts, mushrooms and bamboo shoots and served with vegetables.
Glutinous rice is versatile enough to be made into several dishes. Rice flour dumplings and rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaf are popular snacks. Choose from a variety of filings including chestnut, bean paste, pork and peanuts.
The main 'eat' streets in Guilin are Binjiang Road, Jiefang West Street, Putuo Road, Meishi Cheng and Zhishan Road.

I got my piercing 10 days ago, and it feels healed. Can I use Hot Silver jewelry?
Piercings can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months or longer to fully heal. While Hot Silver jewelry is made with the finest materials, it is not intended for newly pierced skin, and we strongly suggest you allow your piercing to completely heal before using our jewelry. Check with your physician or piercer to determine if you are fully healed.
What do I do if my piercing becomes infected?
If you suspect your piercing has become infected, contact a physician or your professional piercer immediately. Do not remove the jewelry unless instructed by the professional.
Does Hot Silver jewelry come sterilized?
We take pride in our product and its cleanliness, but we do recommend that all jewelry is thoroughly cleaned before use.
How do I properly clean Hot Silver jewelry?
Dip the jewelry into a small bowl containing hydrogen peroxide. Allow it to soak for one minute, then wash it with antibacterial soap and rinse with warm water. Commercial sterilization products are also acceptable to use.
Can I wear Hot Silver jewelry in a chlorinated pool or hot tub?
Yes, as long as your piercing is fully healed.
I am allergic to Nickel. Can I use Hot Silver jewelry?
Yes. All of our sterling silver jewelry is nickel-free. While all steel does contain trace amounts of nickel, the high-grade surgical steel we use in our body jewelry is the same or better quality than steel used inside the body for medical purposes, and will not induce contact nickel dermatitis.
Can I still wear my belly jewelry if I become pregnant?
Most physicians and piercers agree that you can continue to wear your belly jewelry throughout pregnancy, though you may need to switch to a retainer or change the size. Contact your physician or piercer for suggestions and check our selection to find products that will work for you.
Is it safe to pierce myself or let a friend do it for me?
NO! Go to a professional piercer. Do-it-yourself piercings (even with a piercing kit) are unsterile and have a very high risk of infection. And if you accidentally pierce the wrong place, you could cause severe bleeding or permanent nerve damage.
Where can I buy Hot Silver jewelry?
Hot Silver jewelry is sold exclusively at Walmart stores. To find a Walmart near you, click here for the Store Locator.
How do I know what gauge to buy?
The gauge of jewelry is indicated on our packaging (See the Gauge page). If you are unsure what gauge your piercing is, ask your piercing professional.
What is a captive bead?
A solid round ball with dimples at either end, which is held in place by the tension of a ring. Open ends of the ring fit into the dimples in the ball for a secure fit.
How do I open a captive bead hoop?
Captive Bead Hoops can be tricky to open and close! They are designed to withstand rugged wear without opening. The ball in a captive bead hoop has two dimples and is held in place by the tension of the hoop. It does not screw into place.
Piercing professionals have special tools for opening and closing captive bead hoops. We highly recommend that if you have difficulty opening or closing it yourself, you consult a professional for additional assistance.
What is 316L surgical or stainless steel?
A common material for body jewelry of all types; is of a higher grade than the stainless steel used in most costume jewelry.
What is anodizing?
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that permanently changes the surface color of titanium and niobium.
What does biocompatible mean?
Compatible with the body. Biocompatible materials include surgical grade steel, titanium, 14kt gold, sterling silver, and certain plastics.
What is threading?
Threading is done at the end of jewelry shaft during manufacture. Allows balls and other elements to screw on securely.
Threads need to be long enough to allow a secure set of the ball, generally three twists of the wrist. This prevents a
ball from falling off.
What is titanium?
A lightweight, biocompatible metal. May be anodized to show a range of different colors (see anodized, above).
What is body piercing?
Any piercing other than ears. This includes nose, eyebrow, and belly, among others. Body piercing should only be done by a trained professional in a hygienic environment, never with an ear piercing gun.

Solid Fuel Boilers
With woodburning now much higher up the ecological agenda, due to wood being a renewable resource and 'carbon neutral', it is not surprising that these central heating boilers are experiencing increasing interest throughout Europe and North America. They simply represent the greener alternative to oil and gas.
At just 505mm wide, Wamsler's solid fuel central heating boilers are a powerful and practical option too, producing up to 16kW output to water for radiators and domestic hot water. Furthermore, not only is the 500 Series Central Heating Boiler compact enough to locate in kitchens but also utility rooms, laundry rooms, boot rooms etc. And there's even a built in hob should power supplies fail or you need additional cooking capability at any time!

MUMBAI: The RBI's decision to keep the repo rate as well as the CRR unchanged dealt a huge blow to markets which rallied earlier in the day on hopes of a rate cut. Sentiment turned bearish following the central bank's decision with the benchmark indices beginning a freefall dragged down by rate-sensitive stocks such as banking and realty.
"Keeping the repo rate (8%) and CRR (4.75%) unchanged, RBI surprised the street negatively which was expecting at least 25bps reduction in both. The central bank's inaction with respect to policy rate could be attributed to the frontloading of repo cut (higher than expected 50bps) in April policy.

Hook and Lateral play
The Hook and Lateral Play is in Boise State's playbook
under the "Hail Mary" section. It is labeled as "Circus".
Statue of Liberty play
The only way you can use this play is by using Boise State's offensive playbook. It is found in the "ACE Bunch" formation and is labeled as "Statue".
Getting into the "Wild Hog" formation
Choose Arkansas or the Arkansas playbook. Go to formation "Wildcat" and choose the "HB QB sub". This will be how Arkansas goes into the "Wild Hog" formation.
Best time to use hurdle
Typically when you go against your rival, a tackler will try and go for your legs. About 50% of the time you are runningwith the ball against a rival, hurdle.
Dynasty mode: Easy wins
Go to the settings and change the quarter lengths to overtime. During the game if you win the coin toss choose to play defense. When on offense, when you score a touchdown always go for a two point attempt (unless you only need to kick a field goal to win).
In any mode that is one player, set the quarter length to overtime. Choose the team you want to lose. If you win the coin toss, select offense then choose a running play. Any HB Toss works most of the time. Run backwards to the opposite endzone and collect a safety (2 points). Your team will win 2-0 every time without having to play defense. If you do not want to collect losses to your profile record, select none on the profile selection screen just before you start the game.
Go to "Game Features" and select FBS or FCS roster. Choose any team and edit the offense. Edit their QB, RB, FB, WR, and TE positions down to 40. This makes the team you select more likely to defeat the team you changed.
Use the following trick to win the national championship easily. When selecting your schedule in Dynasty mode, choose as many ranked teams as possible. Once you are in the top 25, make any team ranked higher than you lose until you reach # 1.
Dynasty mode: Better trophies
When creating your schedule, make sure to add as much
ranked teams as possible. Try and go against the #1, #2, or #3
ranked team the most.
Dynasty mode: Faster trophies
Select a highly ranked team with good ratings (for example, USC or Michigan) and enter Dynasty mode. Simulate to the end of the season and simulate all bowl games. You should earn two to four trophies depending on how well your team did. Then, save your profile, but not your dynasty. Exit the Dynasty mode and repeat as many times as desired.
wihwi, r frngptw dhabeypa idum
Dynasty mode: Making a better team
Take control of eight teams at one time. You can try doing this with the entire Ivy League, but it is more difficult. Mid-major conferences work best, such as teams like Akron, Toledo, Idaho, etc. During pre-season recruiting, scout only five- and four-star recruits. Have each of the eight teams scout the exact same fifteen players. Because a scout can only have a list of eight possible choices, he will have to choose one of your schools. You will soon have five-star prospects signing with teams like New Mexico State or Idaho rather than Virginia Tech, USC, or Texas. However, this trick only works during in-season recruiting, but if you do this for a few years your team will be considerably better.
Dynasty mode: Drafting prospects
When you first start the season, create a prospect and make sure to make his home state where your team is located. Then, talk to him on the phone about where he lives and the college being close. Most of the time, you will get a high ranking for that action.
During preseason in Dynasty mode, create a prospect that plays as a kicker or punter no matter what position you want to create. Make their hometown close to your campus. Customize the player to be as good at another position as desired, but set their kick power and kick accuracy to 0. They will be in the prospect database as a one star recruit and will not usually even be offered a scholarship by other schools. Offer them a scholarship and they will usually commit immediately. For example, if you make a one star kicker that no team wants he will be ranked 99 as a QB.
This trick takes a long time but it works. Begin a new dynasty. Before the first game of the season, pick your best 35 recruits whether they are the most interested or highest caliber. After you have added the recruits, but before you play the first game, make sure that you save your dynasty. Start at the top of your recruiting board with the first recruit and begin trying to unlock different pitches. Spend as much time as desired on any recruit. When you run out of time simply go back and reload the dynasty from the "Dynasty Setup" menu. Each time you unlock a pitch in the "Very High" or "Most" category, write it down. After you have worked the full list, which can take awhile, go back to your dynasty and load it from the beginning. You now have a full list of correct pitches to make to your recruits. Note: Each recruit will only have one "Most" pitch and two "Very High" pitches. Always try to sway any pitch that is "High" to the "Very High" setting.
Easy trophies for showcase
Go to the "Play Now" screen and select two
teams that can play for a rivalry trophy (for example, Iowa State
and Iowa). Then, go to the stadium and weather options and change
the quarter length to one minute. Play the game but do not switch
teams in the middle or you will not get the trophy added.
Hidden endzones
To make the endzones hidden, start a Play Now mode
match. When you reach the field selection screen, set the game
length to fifteen minutes, make the weather overcast cloudy, precipitation
high, and temperature -20 degrees. If done correctly, in the upper
corner should be a picture of a cloud with heavy snow. Start the
game and by the second quarter there will be so much snow that
the endzone lines and all other white lines will be gone.
Jumping the field
When you are about five yards from the opponent's end
zone, select a HB Dive as a play. As soon as the HB gets the ball,
tap Square. You should now dive over the defenders and
get a TD.
Campus Legend mode: Max stats
Create a character with maximum stats. Then, start
a new Campus Legend mode. Instead of starting from scratch in
high school, load your created character.
Campus Legend mode: Boost GPA
A great way to boost your GPA is doing extra studying. Some events like this are finishing a project in the library (+.4 GPA), fixing your computer for homework (+.2 GPA), or just studying
when you have free time (+.1 GPA)
Campus legend: Exporting senior to Madden 08
When you begin your senior season and already have legend status, you will get the option of staying for your senior year or exporting your legend to Madden 08. Stay for your senior year and at the end you will still be able to export you legend, even after your senior year.
Seminole War Canoe missing from shrine
Play and win the game between Florida and Miami to
get the Seminole War Canoe. It appears under Rivalry in the "Trophy
View" menu, but it is nowhere to be found in your shrine.
Telephone trophy has wrong colors and team
Win the game between Missouri and Iowa State to unlock
the Telephone trophy. Go to your shrine and open the trophy menu.
Press X on the Telephone trophy to view it up close. Turn
the trophy around to see the back. Look up at the telephone at
the top of the trophy. Instead of Missouri and their colors on
the back of the telephone, it is Michigan's name and colors.

Edinburg - The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team started out fast and cruised to a dominate 3-0 (25-14, 25-10, 25-18) win over Texas - Pan American in the first midweek match of the season for the team.
The Islanders moved to 4-4 on the season with the win as they get ready to host the Holiday Inn Emerald Beach Islanders Classic on Friday and Saturday at the Dugan Wellness Center. The Broncs are now 1-7 on the season after the Tuesday night match.
"This was our cleanest match of the season by far," said head coach Tony Graystone. "It seemed like everything we did was working.
"We got off to a good start in game one and just rolled from there."
Isabella Arcidiacono once again played well for the Islanders as she totaled 11 kills in the match to lead the team while having a .292 hitting percentage. Arcidiacono also added the only block solo for the Islanders against the Broncs. Brooke Alverson and Emma Ridley were close behind with eight kills. Alverson collected her eight kills in just 11 attempts with no errors for a remarkable .727 hitting percentage. Ridley had 13 attempts and recorded a .538 hitting percentage.
"That has been something we have been working on, to not make so many unforced errors," said Graystone. "Tonight the girls had a better idea of where they wanted to put the ball and were more aggressive.
"It seemed like everything was working tonight."
Set one started out with a 3-3 tie early on before the Islanders took an 11-6 lead. The Broncs came back to get as close as 11-10 before the Islanders ran away with the opener, outscoring UTPA 14-4 the rest of the way, including scoring nine of the final 10 points of the set. The score was 23-14 when Alverson and Ridley finished the Broncs off with back-to-back kills for a 25-13 set victory.
The second set was even better for the Islanders as the raced out to a 10-2 advantage. The lead reached 10 points at 17-7 and ended up 15 when the Islanders led 23-10 and scored the final two points on a kill from Alverson and a UTPA attack error. The Islanders had 14 kills and a match high .417 hitting percentage in the second set.
The final set saw the Broncs put up a better fight but still buckle under the pressure of the Islanders attack. The team took an 11-4 advantage and coasted to the victory. The Broncs made the match close several times and whittled the lead to as few as four points, but UTPA was never able to overcome the initial damage as the Islanders pounded out 15 kills and a .314 hitting percentage.
For the match, the Islanders had a season-high .365 hitting percentage and recorded 41 kills in the three-set match. Micah Nolan recorded a team-high three service aces while there were eight total from the team. Logen Bourque added 30 assists to her season total and had six digs in the match. Ridley led the team with nine digs while Nolan was close behind with eight in the match.
Next up for the Islanders is a 2:00 p.m. match against Sam Houston State on Friday in the first day of the Islanders Classic. The team will also play Texas Southern at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night. On the second day of the tournament, the Islanders will play Houston Baptist at 1:00 p.m. and finish tournament play with a 7:00 p.m. tilt against Villanova.
"Sam Houston is one of the better teams in the Southland," said Graystone. "They are one of the teams that we are aspiring to be so we are hoping to show well against them.
"Friday should be a lot fun."
