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.

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.

Original review text: Great Jing energy builder over time, and it's working better when used without the capsules, first getting used to the taste and now I love the taste. BUT!!! They recently ( May 2016) changed the capsulation process and changed the excipient, as a result the caps are not well filled and content is just a weak reflection of what it used to be. People who just swallow the caps won't notice it directly, but the ones that used to open the caps notice immediately, this is not the good stuf we got before. Have to find an alternative now.

it does have tonic benefits. i hope also the effects will stay... it does strengthen the body and mind.
Good value

Product seems to be authentic but I honestly could not say if it is helping me. People say I look well and perhaps this product along with many others that I take contributes to that. I'll keep taking it.

The stars are coming mostly on the price and the earlier Shou Wu from other company as I have not been using the product sufficiently long time. The first impression however is very good and if the efects will continue I wiil give 5 stars after two months

MARTINSBURG - When fire, smoke or water damages a home, the feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming. The emotion surrounding the loss and disruption of everyday life is more than most families can handle.
Thankfully, there is a company like Martinsburg's PuroClean Disaster Restoration, whose compassionate and knowledgeable staff members make it their mission to do whatever it takes to return people their sense of security.
Known as the, "Paramedics of Property Damage." the PuroClean office in Martinsburg, located at 5 Sue Cour,t Suite A, is independently owned and operated by Rodney Trenary and his wife, Kathye, and is franchised from Florida's PuroSystems Inc.

Known as the 'Paramedics of Property Damage.' the PuroClean office in Martinsburg is independently owned and operated by Rodney Trenary, right, and his wife, Kathye, left, and is franchised from Florida's PuroSystems Inc.
"It's quite an emotional deal when people have these large losses. Part of, I guess I'll say our expertise, is just having the right people who have the compassion to go on in and help the people get through their loss," Rodney Trenary said.
A native of Inwood, he graduated from Musselman High School and later graduated from James Rumsey Technical Institute.
"Our core business is water damage, fire damage and mold," he said.
If a client has a problem at their home, PuroClean likely has a business relationship already established with their insurance company so they can feel secure knowing they will receive the best possible help in getting their home back to normal when they call their insurance provider.
"We've already got that relationship established with their company, so they don't have to worry about the billing procedures and all that. It comes in handy for us," Trenary said.
No job is too big or too small for PuroClean. Anything from small losses like minor home flooding to a large loss like a damaging fire can be remedied through its proficient experience and knowledge in property restoration.
"We can sanitize a home and get things back to healthy living standards," Trenary said.
He opened the franchise six years ago in 2005. The business continued to grow to the point where Trenary opened a new headquarters three years ago located off of U.S. 11 in Martinsburg.
This PuroClean branch currently offers services in Berkeley, Morgan and Jefferson counties, as well as Hampshire and Hardy counties. It also provides services in Virginia and Maryland, and just recently started offering service coverage in Franklin County, Pa.
"We are seeing more and more repeat customers and, of course, more and more word of mouth from previous customers. When all of a sudden they find out that their neighbors are suddenly in need, we get calls just from that," Trenary said.
The business also offers services that are not limited to home restoration. Services such as graffiti removal for municipalities and, in one case, the restoration of an entire Olympic-sized swimming pool for the Archdiocese of Romney have been offered in the past.
"I can go outside the box of just water, fire and mold with graffiti removal and just different cleaning applications when there's a client out there in need. We're pretty versatile with the type of equipment that we have available," Trenary said.
All staff members are qualified, trained technicians in water, fire and mold cleaning applications, and are certified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. PuroClean's nickname comes from its capability to respond immediately after a disaster strikes. The business specializes not only in property restoration, but salvaging personal items belonging to a client that also may be damaged.
"It's a rush service. We can get the immediate items back to the client so they can have some clothes to wear the next day or two while the rest of the items are being cleaned or even stored," Trenary said. "You try to work with the client to save everything that's possible. With that said, there's a lot of things that we can save today that just a few years ago would have been thrown away.
"There's more and more of this technology that's becoming available to our industry, and I've been one that's investing in all of this so that I can keep on top of it," Trenary said.
The most important thing Trenary wishes to stress about his business is that PuroClean and its staff of technicians are there to help clients, especially when they suddenly find themselves in need.
"PuroClean are the Paramedics of Property Damage. That's basically what we do," Trenary said. "Obviously, one of our goals is to do whatever it takes to get the client back to pre-loss condition."

How to Completely Disable Google Chrome Update
Two Methods:Adding the template to the Group Policy EditorDisabling Google Chrome Update Checks:Community Q&A
Only disabling Google Updates from "chrome://plugins" does not matter, It will update it automatically. Having a silent application that constantly updates the browser is a good thing. There's no annoying interface that interrupts you to ask your permission before updating the application and you no longer have to manually check for updates. Unfortunately, Google Chrome's automatic updater is not a great feature if you have limited bandwidth or in an enterprise environment, since you can't customize it.
Method 1
Adding the template to the Group Policy Editor
1Download a windows group policy template "Google Update Administrative Template" from Google Site.
2Open the editor by typing "gpedit.msc" into the search button on the start menu and click the resulting link
3Navigate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates
4Right click on Administrative Templates, select add/remove templates from menu bar.
5In the popup box click add button and navigate to where you downloaded the GoogleUpdate.adm file and then click close button
6You should find a new entry under Local Computer Policy - Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Classic Administrative Templates called Google
Method 2
Disabling Google Chrome Update Checks:
1Navigate to Administrative Templates - Google - Google Update - Applications - Google Chrome
2Right click on Update Policy Override and select edit
3Click enabled button and in the scrollbar list under Policy choose Updates disabled and click OK
- You have now stopped Google Updater from checking for updates for Google Chrome.
Community Q&A
- This may not work on Windows XP as the new template mentioned is not added to a visible list.
- It is not recommended to disable updates as you can face system failure and similar problems in the future, but you can choose "Manual updates only" instead of "Updates disabled", and update it manually.
- Disabling updates here will also prevent updates of any new Google applications released in the future, possibly including dependencies for future versions of installed applications.
- The first approach will not work on Windows 8 as the Group Policy Editor (gpedit?) is not present in any version except Windows 8 Pro (Windows 8 Editions )

Megan Fox Disliked How She Was Portrayed as Sex Symbol
Megan Fox did not like the way she was portrayed in "Transformers" films, therefore she quit. According to her former co-star Shia LaBeouf, Fox was not ready to become a sex symbol after her appearance in the first film which hit theaters in 2007.
"Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with [director] Michael Bay, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women," LaBeouf told Los Angeles Times.
"Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It's summer. It's Michael's style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it," he continued. "This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it."
But it is a different case with LaBeouf's current co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who replaces Fox as his love interest in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon". "Rosie comes with this Victoria's Secret background, and she's comfortable with it, so she can get down with Mike's way of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different," LaBeouf said.

Best Uses
I mentor a local FIRST robotics competition team and bought these pants specifically because women's pants either never have enough pocket space or they look too masculine. These are the only pants I've found that help me store all my hand tools during competitions AND don't make me look like a dude. I received many compliments, and fellow teammates called them my "EMT pants" as I bought them in black. The sizing was dead on. I am 5'4" and 128lb and size 6 was perfect. My only negative comment is that because the pants are not skin tight in the upper thigh region, I did have some chaffing on my inner thighs after a couple days of running around on my feet all day. I was able to combat this with a pair of spandex running shorts underneath, which to me was well worth wearing these high quality, highly handy, stylish pants.
Best Uses
Please PLEASE offer these pants again! I want at least 2 more pairs and also would LOVE to have a knee length cargo short version (in the original heavy Fire Hose fabric!) or even a knee length (original heavy Fire Hose) SKIRT design (How about a "taxi style" skirt with equal length slit in both front & back, with total skirt length falling just below the knees? Who says working hard can't be just a little sexy?!)
I really really REALLY like the HEAVY original Fire Hose fabric. (Your Flex Fire Hose is too light and too "chino" for me)
I work in a nursery garden center and these pants are AMAZING! Super flattering (really love how the waist "curves in" so the pants don't fall down!). I have practically rolled around in dirt and STILL come up looking good! These babies really resist dirt.
The pockets are perfectly placed & sized so my pens, note pad, box cutter, knife, etc don't "pop out" when I stoop, bend, kneel and twist!
PLEASE! Bring these back!
For sizing - I would "normally" wear a size 10 with a 32" length...
based on other pants I ordered (which were too short & too loose), I went with the size 8 and a 33" length and that combination was PERFECT for me.
Can't wait to see these offered again (along with my suggested knee length cargo short version AND the just-below-the knee "taxi skirt" version!!!
Best Uses
I'm a union ironworker that often rides a motorcycle to work, so I'm always looking for form+function women's work pants. I love the thickness of the fabric and it sheds sparks well. I really, really hope my size comes back (not unusual--8) because I've just started buying them and it looks like these would be the "go to" pants.
Best Uses
I wear a size 4 in most pants. Used the sizing chart and 4 was close but too big. Too bad as I would keep them if I could shrink them a couple of inches around the hip and waist. Any chance of making a size smaller than a 4? Love this material.
Best Uses
Over the past year or so I've accumulated several pair, including a couple of the fleece lined ones and I love them all. I live in these pants when I'm not working in the office.
They're comfortable and hard wearing and are improving with age, softening up with repeated washings. They shrug off stains and whatever I put them through. I would highly recommend these!

Hi Gurus!
I am currently starting to work on creating a pleasurable user experience for support documentation for an app. This app has versions that run on an iphone, android, mac as well as a windows OS.
Are there any guidelines or specs for creating such documentation?
Any light that you can shed on this will be very helpful.
I'm working on creating documentation for a programming language and development environement. We're considering creating a wide variety of material including tutorials, reference material, inline documentation, videos, searchacle examples, et cetera.
There are two things I would love to hear from anybody:
1) Books/articles/anything you know of discussing design of documentation
2) Examples of awesome documentation that you know of. Even though I'm working on programming tools, I would love examples from any domain to get inspiration.
I've completed the UI and UX design for an iPad app and now it's time to hand everything off for development and I was wondering if there were any best practices for documenting the interaction design for the developer. Our dev is in house, so I can just pop over and talk to him, but I think documentation would be best for workflow.
If you've had experience documenting interaction design for iOS in the past, please share.
Are you? If so, do you feel it is necessary?
I'm working on the visual/UI design for an application that will use Silverlight components. I'd like the Silverlight visual UI to match the rest of the application. How do people recommend specifying visual design to developers for a theme in Silverlight or other? In the past I've marked up static Photoshop layouts with colors, type specs, measurements, etc., but wonder if there are other/better ways.
Any tips or references on this topic would be helpful.
Thank you!
In a recent convo on Twitter, Janna DeVylder, Dave Malouf, Steve Baty and I were discoursing about the difficulties of traversing the Research > Design chasm. Some really great thoughts ensued. So, I thought I'd keep the convo going here.
It's a topic I'm keely interested in. Having helped present From Design to Research at Agile '09, and having worked on this for many years, I still realize I have lots to learn.
To my sometimes peculiar way of thinking, User Experience documentation is a lot like underpants.
To find out how, check out:
What do you think about creating pixel perfect wireframes? Good or evil? (Or it depends ;-)
The websites our team work on have a standard width, grid, interactive elements and some general guidelines for typography. Therefore any designer working on a wireframe could create it to the pixel (we have a fixed layout).
My organization is moving toward UML for all of its documentation,
from requirements through development and maintenance. The UX
practice here is in it's infancy and I am now a team of one. While
I'm familiar with UML, I'm skeptical that it will be appropriate
for user flows and any other UX documentation.
Has anyone worked in a UML environment? How did you integrate your
practice into RUP or similar methodologies?
I've been tasked at helping our BAs sift through some documentation,
to work within the confines of the RUP methodology. The documents
that I'm working on are the Storyboard artifact, the UI concepts,
and the UI Document or UI Specs. document.
The first two are pretty self explanatory, but I'm struggling with
what's usually in the last one.
The way I see it is this document will be a bridge for people in
systems and people on the business side to rally around the screens
and "be on the same page", literally.
So, my question is, what usually goes in this UI document?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin has a torn labrum and could miss the rest of the season, according to Fox Sports.
Martin left Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons in the third quarter after landing hard following a reception. He got up slowly and was favoring his left side.
Martin rushed for 1,454 yards as a rookie in 2012. However, he is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry this season. He had 11 carries for 47 yards and made one catch for seven yards in the 31-23 loss to Atlanta. His backup, Mike James, carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards and had three catches for eight yards.
Tampa Bay (0-6) plays host to the Carolina Panthers on Thursday.


text: I'm just learning to knit. I've can DO the slip knot to start me off, even though it takes me a while to get it right, I can DO my casting on all right, but when it comes to the knitting I'm worried I'm doing something wrong. As I do my stitches, the yarn between the two needles keeps increasing and increasing. I've tried several different methods of wrapping it around my fingers, but it keeps happening. Then when I get down to my last stitch (where the slip knot is), I have this big loop of yarn between the last stitch and the second to last stitch. This is the only place I can come for help, my family doesn't know I'm doing this (part of my Mom's Christmas present is what's on the needle right now) and my Mom's a crocheter, anyways.

Following Vixely's penchant for finding the coolest young women in music, you need to check out Wild Belle literally right now, and their just-released video, "Backslider." The brother and sister duo stars Elliot Bergman, 31, who plays saxophone and keyboard, and Natalie (Belle) Bergman, 23, on vocals.
Wild Belle's sound is "soul from the '60s" and "early Rock Steady" according to Natalie in yesterday's T Magazine interview, with inspiration from Bob Marley and the Wailers, James Brown and Sam Cooke's doo wop. Their songs feature Kalimba loops mixed with old-school reggae rhythm behind Natalie's sultry vocals and Elliot's jazzy interludes. (Elliot is also part of Afrobeat band Nomo.)
The pair is just finishing up their tour with Tennis (a favorite on Vixely's playlists) and is about to hit the road again with Passion Pit (for real). They have also been a mainstay at the hottest fashion parties, such as those by Mulberry and Maje, at the behest of Vixely Girl Crush Alexa Chung.
Elliot and Natalie aren't the only Bergmans with an amazing artistic touch. In fact, sister (and dear Vixely friend!) Elise runs her own super chic and highly acclaimed fashion line, Elise Bergman, based in Chicago, where the Bergmans grew up. Even little brother Bennet Bergman helped film Wild Belle's new video, "Backslider," using their mother's slides from the '70s and '80s. The Bergmans are definitely keeping the creativity all in the fam!
Check out Wild Belle's brand new video "Backslider" and our other favorite, "It's Too Late," and explore Wild Belle's website, Tumblr and more for tour dates and new releases. We can't wait to hear more.

About the Book
Drawn from research and the real-life experiences of adult daughters, Mean Mothers illuminates one of the last cultural taboos: what happens when a woman does not or cannot love her own daughter. Peg Streep, co-author of the highly acclaimed Girl in the Mirror, has subtitled this important, eye-opening exploration of the darker side of maternal behavior, "Overcoming the Legacy of Hurt." There are no psychopathic child abusers in Mean Mothers. Instead, this essential volume focuses on the more subtle forms of psychological damage inflicted by mothers on their unappreciated daughters—and offers help and support to those women who were forced to suffer a parent's cruelty and neglect.
An exploration of the darker side of maternal behavior drawn from scientific research, psychology, and the real-life experiences of adult daughters, Mean Mothers sheds light on one of the last cultural taboos: what happens when a woman doesn't or can't love her daughter.
Mean Mothers reveals the multigenerational thread that often runs through these stories—many unloving mothers are the daughters of unloving or hypercritical women—and explores what happens to a daughter's sense of self and to her relationships when her mother is emotionally absent or even cruel. But Mean Mothers is also a narrative of hope, recounting how daughters can get past the legacy of hurt to become whole within and to become loving mothers to the next generation of daughters. The personal stories of unloved daughters and sons and those of the author herself, are both unflinching and moving, and bring this most difficult of subjects to life.
Mean Mothers isn't just a book for daughters who've had difficult or impossible relationships with their mothers. By exposing the myths of motherhood that prevent us from talking about the women for whom mothering a daughter is fraught with ambivalence, tension, or even jealousy, Mean Mothers also casts a different light on the extraordinary influence mothers have over their female children as well as the psychological complexity and emotional depth of the mother-daughter relationship.

–, Thursday, November, 22, 2012, (11:45am)
Melbourne ABC host Jon Faine was vehement today in defence of the Prime Minister, yet has not based his faith on facts. Let's check his editorial:
…it's to do with the slush fund that she was helping to establish for people who were acting as a group within the AWU at the time.
Fudge. Well, less than a group, Jon. It essentially operated just for Bruce Wilson and, to some extent, for his bagman, Ralph Blewett. And it was set up for their benefit as individuals, not AWU officials.
Well, at that stage, I do remember laughing out loud on air and saying since when should a client not act for someone because they might be breaking the law?
Red herring. No one to my knowledge has ever suggested Gillard should not have taken as a client someone who "might be breaking the law".
Then Julia Gillard was criticised for not dobbing in her clients when it became apparent that they might have broken the law. Well, since when does a lawyer dob in their own clients to the police when someone is making a complaint about them? It's alleged that she should herself have gone to the police, which is preposterous and would've been an unethical act, if not a breach of duty to her client and a breach of confidentiality.

It's alleged that she should herself have gone to the police, which is preposterous and would've been an unethical act, if not a breach of duty to her client and a breach of confidentiality.
Gross oversimplication. Misleading. Porbably false. Gillard actually had two clients here - her boyfriend, Wilson., and the AWU itself, which was her firm's primary client. When she found out Wilson's slush fund had fraudently taken funds ostensibly paid to what donors believed was the AWU for workplace safety for its members, she had a duty to at the very least notify the AWU. She did not. She arguably could have also notifed police of the frauds when told about them without breaching anything told her her in confidence by Wilson, since they were brought to her attention not by Wilson himself but others. On this point, here is the opinion of former High Court judge Michael Kirby:
Question from audience: Look, there are plenty of people in the legal profession that seem to have moral compass deficit disorder. If a lawyer naively helps a friend to set up a slush fund, and then subsequently finds that the friend has used it to misappropriate half a million dollars, is there a legal or moral obligation for the lawyer to report that to the police, the knowledge of that matter?
Kirby: It sounds as though it's getting a little bit close to a real live problem and I know it could be presented as hypothetical, but I sort of have got very, very strong antennae and I can sniff out a real live problem pretty well. (Audience laughter). And I've gone out of the business of giving legal advice, but generally speaking, in our sort of society, if a person is aware of a serious crime and doesn't report it to the police, that is what we call misprision of a felony; if there is a felony, you have to report it, it is a citizen's duty. Now that law might have been modified in Victoria and other states, you'd have to look that up, but that's the way the law generally operates."
Here is High Court justice William Deane in Baker v Campbell, 1983:
Deane: Moreover, if the (doctrine of legal professional) privilege were confined to disclosure in judicial (or quasi-judicial) proceedings, it is difficult to explain why, logically, the lawyer who fails voluntarily to disclose the wrongdoing of his client to the appropriate administrative officer does not, in the absence of some particular justification, stand guilty of the offence of misprision of felony.
Doug Meagher QC has discussed this at length:
Meagher: Bankes LJ at page 526 when considering an allegation that the accountant had breached an implied term of confidentiality, said:
" ... There may no doubt be cases to which the rule laid down by the learned judge may be applied, as for instance confidential communications to a professional adviser as to the proposed commission of a crime, or as to the proposed commission of a civil wrong upon an individual. A contract to keep such a communication secret may well be considered an illegal contract, and the duty to the public to disclose the criminal or illegal intention may properly be held to override the private duty to respect and protect the client's confidence."..
Wood VC put it in vivid phrase: 'There is no confidence as to the disclosure of iniquity.'
In Weld-Blundell v Stephens Bankes LJ rather suggested that the exception was limited to the proposed or contemplated commission of as crime or civil wrong; but I should have thought that was too limited. The exception should extend to crimes frauds and misdeeds, both those actually committed as well as those in contemplation, provided always - and this is essential - that the disclosure is justified in the public interest. The reason is because no private obligations can dispense with that universal one which lies on every member of the society to discover every design which may be formed, contrary to the laws of the society, to destroy the public welfare…
The disclosure must, I should think, be to one who has a proper interest to receive the information. Thus it would be proper to disclose a crime to the police…
The existence of the exception to the privilege was firmly established in Australia following the obiter dictum in Varawa v Howard Smith & Co (1910) 10 CLR 382. At page 385 Griffith CJ said:
"The rule was laid down very distinctly by Lord Halsbury LC in Bullivant v The Attorney General for Victoria:
'I think the broad propositions may be very simply stated: for the perfect administration of justice, and for the protection of confidence which exists between a solicitor and his client, it has been established as a principle of public policy that those confidential communications shall not be subject to production. But to that, of course, this limitation has been put, and justly put, that no Court can be called upon to protect communications which are in themselves parts of a criminal or unlawful proceeding.'
The rule is very well illustrated in the case of R. v Cox & Railton in which the communication stated and put in evidence was a communication made by a solicitor to his client for the purpose of enabling him to carry out an unlawful enterprise."
This says nothing about the duty to report; but once the privilege is removed, the shield vanishes and the ordinary duty cast on all citizens to report a threatened crime applies to the lawyer as well.
Moreover, Gillard, in explaining why she did not contact authorities about the frauds did not cite client confidentiality as an excuse. The reason she gave was that inquiries were already under way when she found out. There is reason to doubt the factual basis for this claim.
It's alleged that at one stage she was party to a fraud, which has been met with stern letters from Julia Gillard's lawyers, and you might notice a prominent apology published in The Age today, saying whoops, we might have gone too far.

False. Straw man. There was no such apology and no such admission by The Age. The item referred to is here. Check for yourself. Faine also oversimplifies in referring to allegations that Gillard "was party to a fraud" and then claiming this was false. In fact, the allegation has consistently been that Gillard created a slush fund used by her boyfriend to commit fraud, and that she insists she had no idea those frauds were intended or committed.
Then it was alleged that there were files that are missing and those files it seems now are turning up in the registrars of the Federal Court and elsewhere. Then it was alleged that files were missing at Slater and Gordon and it was pointed out that files get destroyed after seven or eight or so years because it's actually just impossible to keep them all and on and on and on the allegations go.

Misleading. In fact, four files were alleged to have gone missing - two in the Federal Court, one in Slater & Gordon and one in the WA Corporate Affairs Commission. Only one of the files, in the Federal Court, has since been located. Slater & Gordon is unable to confirm what Faine implies - that it's own missing file was destroyed as a matter of routine after seven or eight years. Indeed, it claims not to be sure the file even existed, although Gillard is recorded being questioned about it in a taped record of interview with her partners in 1995.
Today as you've already heard on AM, one of the key witnesses in inverted commas to all of this has arrived back in Australia. His name is Ralph Blewitt...

Smear. Blewitt is indeed a key witness, without inverted commas. Correspondence demonstrates he was one of the two people for whom Gillard helped to create the slush fund, and placed the notification of it in the press. Gillard also claims to have witnessed his donation of power of attorney to Wilson to buy a house in his name.
However, on arrival [Blewett has] already said that he knows nothing about events in Victoria, but he may be able to shed some insight into what was alleged to have gone on eighteen years ago in Western Australia. Of course Victoria Police don't investigate things that happen in West Australia. The West Australia Police do, but that's for Mr Blewitt, his lawyers and the Victoria Police to sort out between them.

Red herring. Misleading. The complaint Victoria Police are investigating relates to the power of attorney Gillard says she witnessed as a solicitor in Victoria, donated by Blewitt in favor of her boyfriend, Wilson. Blewitt alleges Gillard was not present when he made it out in Perth, and the document was backdated. Blewett claims it was misused by Wilson to purchase a property in Victoria in his name, using stolen funds. Blewett is also expected to discuss renovations to Julia Gillard's Abbottsford house. All this is well within the scope of Victoria Police to investigate. Blewett's reference to not knowing about events in Victoria refers to the creation and operation of a second slush fund created in Victoria by Wilson. Faine should know all this.
How could Faine be so sure Gillard has no questions to answer if he himself does not understand what's been alleged or demonstrated?
It seems to me that Faine instinctively wants to clear Gillard without even knowing what the case against her is.
(Note: Gillard says she did not know of Wilson's frauds and did not benefit from them. She did not know the house was brought with stolen funds. She says paid for all her own renovations.)
Michael Smith rang Faine for a right of reply, but was not given one.
Have Your Say
Jon Faine fancies himself as CLarence Darrow - you know, the US attorney who famously lost the Scopes moneky trial in 1926.

Good old fashion Anti-Catholic bigotry.
Have to laugh how, as a non-lawyer commenting quickly on a radio editorial by a trained lawyer concerning significant legal matters, Andrew has managed to succinctly draw the legal reality from the swill in the editorial.

Thu 22 Nov 12 (03:04pm)
Not really, as someone who is a semester away from graduating law, i would have to say Andrews understanding of the complexity of the law, not just on this matter, is way off.
Having visited Melbourne for a week each month over seven years I got to hear a broad cross section of Melbourne radio. I concluded quite early on that the ABC's Faine is a non event. His interviews are shallow, predictable and loopy. His key audience consists of nothing more than rusted on Victorian Labor/Greens sycophants.
Any normal person would stop listening to him after 30 minutes (if you could manage to stay tuned for that long).
His views are typical of ABC groupthink and socialist myopia.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (12:53pm)
Clearly, Faine has some reading to do. He's a couple of months behind!
Thu 22 Nov 12 (12:54pm)
Heard Faine this morning, nearly choked at his pomposity and almost total misunderstanding of the known facts and documents. The use of the words "Sydney Shock Jock" to describe Michael Smith is the new ABC-speak for any commentator not following the ABC group think.
Michael Smith must have grounds to sue Faine for Defamation after the vile performance this morning on ABC 774.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (12:55pm)
Thu 22 Nov 12 (03:07pm)
I doubt whether Michael would bother chasing Faine.
I have often wondered if ABC personnel are personally briefed by the Lie-bor spin doctors as to what to say or whether there is a special web site for them to download what they have to say or if the docs are simply delivered by couriers. As for refusing Michael Smith a right of reply, what do you expect from the propaganda arm of the Lie-bor Party and Greens, aka "their ABC".
Thu 22 Nov 12 (12:56pm)
Surely you are not surprised? Jon Faine's eveident and massive bias towards the ALP and all things Left has unfortunately prevented him from becoming a good journalist. He is simply just another ABC hack.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (12:57pm)
Thu 22 Nov 12 (02:38pm)
Faine and Gratten the last two remaining journalists in the country who either can't or refuse to smell a rat
It seems that Mr Faine may benefit from some 'factual accuracy training'. I wonder if the ABC will insist on this....you know, in the interests of neutral reporting of news and editorial in a manner which follows the balance of evidence? Can I suggest that every reader of this article make a written complaint to the ABC. And whilst you are at it, have a pop at Jonathon Holmes for continuing to refer to the "slush" fund as simply The Workplace Reforms Association. He likes to omit the words Australian Workers Union because "it is a bit of a moutful", according to one of his script writers.....go figure.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:00pm)
One caller asked Faine to have Micheal Smith on to make comment. Faine declaired, on air, that he would not have such an unprofessional person on his programme. He claimed Smith was fired for defying his employer's wishes concerning the AWU affair. Faine certainly has a high opinion of himself.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:02pm)
I have no problem whatsoever with Faine defending Gillard in this fashion.
As long as he would've defended John Howard in the same circumstances.
Is there anyone out there who honestly thinks Faine would have done so?
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:02pm)
It would be very nice if a propagandist from the Labor Braodcasting Organisation, say jon faine, could be cornered by a real journo like Michael Smith and shown to be at least ignorant and incompetent, at worst biased and unprofessional. No doubt Smith will have his right of reply on other media outlets, but faine's refusal shows how unsure he is of the facts and allegations, let alone intersted in resolving the issue transparently.
Not my abc. Sell it.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:02pm)
Wake up Australia. Our media (with a few exceptions) has a lot to answer for. We pay good money for papers and indeed the ABC and quite frankly we need unbiased well researched FACTS. Contrary to what the general media might think I am not stupid and most of the people I know are not stupid, stop treating us like mushrooms and tell the TRUTH. I have followed Gillards involvement in this AWU scam and I can assure you she has very serious allegation to answer and if she can't tell the truth then she should go.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:03pm)
Their ABC....so many "activist" presenters. All co-incidentally apologising for Julia on taxpayer's money.
Don't worry, Scotty will be onto this quick time.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:03pm)
It's funny to see everyone who is coming out to defend Gillard weren't really there to see for themselves what she did, yet Blewitt who was directly involved is about to spill the beans if given immunity. Does all this mean if Gillard is eventually found to have committed some kind of fraud, but because of the statute of limitations she probably will be let her off the hook, but all those who are defending her are committing a crime right now and so the statue of limitations do not apply to them? If that's the case then aren't they risking being charged and taken to trial themselves leaving Gillard to walk away untouched?
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:04pm)
He is no more than a sneering self-righteous socialist - it's no surprise he would back his ideological master, birds of a feather.
And in this case he literally condoned Gilllard to not only ignore the law, but to gleefully break it as well in not approaching the police ASAP.
This 'man' is a selective moral vaccuum hissing and shouting from his tax-payer funded ivory tower.
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:04pm)
He understands exactly whats going on, basically what he's trying to do is pedal an alternative 'truth' that his idiotic listeners will then tell their friends and by the end of the chinese whispers Tony Abbott will have killed the pope and she will be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.....
You know how these lefties like to embelish…
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:04pm)
Faine, a presenter employed and paid by the public broadcaster, the ABC, appears to have eagerly grasped the infamous Mark Riley Baton inscribed with the words, "How can we help you, Prime Minister?".
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:07pm)
Yes Andrew, I listened in disbelief as Faine merilly set about clearing Gillard's name and acting as her true champion - as per most of the ABC journalists! And for Faine to go to great lengths to infer that Blewitt is a crook and cannot be trusted ... isn't that the whole premise to this? That there were illegal goings-on in connection with the AWU Slush Fund???
Also, couldn't believe that twit Michael on News 24 Breakfast this morning either ... in the segment on this government's appalling situation re asylum seekers, all Michael had to add was that he had spent considerable time analysing Tony Abbott's speech of yesterday in relation to this and actually counted the number of times Abbott said "illegal". What an immature, unprofessional and small-minded person this twit is!!! Maybe he should move from breakfast to some game show instead! He was almost dribbling and couldn't keep still on the couch as he felt he had a marvellous 'gotcha' moment!!
Thu 22 Nov 12 (01:08pm)
Unsurprisingly, Bernard Keane from Crikey did a similar 'It's all a smear' job on ABC 612 Brisbane with Steve Austins mid morning show today. For an interviewer who claims to be independent, Austin made absolutely no attempt and showed no understanding of the facts and thus Keane spouted his version of the matter entirely unquestioned. Similar vein to Faines version of events. No balance as usual.

The lead singer of Saves the Day, Chris Conley, was kind enough to hang out for a bit and answer some questions. When you're done reading check out their official site where you can get some fantastic shirts! Also be on the lookout for their new album later this summer!
So what are you up to right now?
I'm currently at home in Chico, CA enjoying early summer with my family. Just finished working on a new Saves The Day record which will be released later this year. For this album we decided to run a crowdsourcing campaign through PledgeMusic.com to get our fans more directly involved in the process. Last week we played a bunch of all-request sets in backyards, basements, and living rooms all over the north east as part of a series of concerts coordinated through the Pledge site. This fall we will be touring the States headlining clubs and theaters across the country in support of our new material.
2. What's been your most memorable concert so far?
About a year ago, we were on tour with Yellowcard in the UK, and we set up an acoustic after show one night at a pub in east London called The Macbeth. We headed straight from the stage at the HMV Forum to the east side where we found fans climbing the rafters, hanging over the railings, and spilling out onto the street. Having no idea what to expect, we were floored by the buzzing anticipation alive in the air. The night erupted into chaos when we started playing, with people jumping from the bar, singing from the staircase, rushing the stage, and altogether losing their minds in a mass singalong. The room became an ocean of swaying bodies and we took requests until 2 in the morning playing everything under the sun and a couple Weezer covers thrown in for good measure.
3. Besides your music, who are some of the bands that you enjoy right now?
When I was in high school, Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Jawbox, Jawbreaker, and Archers Of Loaf were my favorite bands and they remain a constant source of inspiration to this day. I have been a fan of their work for more than half my life, so I'm loyal, to say the very least. Of the bands that are currently active, Radiohead, Queens Of The Stone Age, and The Flaming Lips are the groups I listen to the most. But The Beatles are by far my all-time favorite.
4. Without fear of judgement, what are your top five favorite movies of all time?
In no particular order, my favorite movies are Brain Candy, Waiting For Guffman, The Muppets, Inception, and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Good stuff.
5. Can you describe the last three picture messages you've received on your phone?
The last few photos I received via text have all come from my wife. The first one is a screenshot of an eCard with an illustration of a high society couple from the '20s toasting martinis with text that reads: "Who wears the pants in our relationship? We prefer it when neither of us are wearing pants." Classic. Next is a shot of our daughter in a purple and green sundress lying on the floor hugging our one-year-old yellow lab, Jo Jo. And the last picture is of my wife and daughter in the pool soaking up the sun with an enormous inflatable crocodile behind them in the background.
6. What's the strangest celebrity encounter you've ever had?
Sometime in the summer of 1999 we played a tiny venue in New Orleans with New Found Glory and hit Bourbon Street after the gig. Having previously played the city a number of times, we knew where to go for the best Hand Grenades. After several explosive neon green beverages, we were rolling. At some point in the evening, we ran into Tone Lōc out on the street walking around with a few lady friends. For some reason I thought it would be a great time to show Tone my push-up prowess, perhaps in the hope of having him hit the pavement with me for a competition, or at the very least, potentially connecting for a post-push-up high five from this righteous dude of intrigue. Needless to say, he just kept walking, so I jumped up and yelled, "I love Funky Cold Melina, Tone Lōc!" And yes, I shouted "Melina" not "Medina" so now I have to live with that for the rest of my days. Tone, wherever you are, I'm sorry.
7. Are there any TV shows you're keeping up with right now?
I absolutely love Arrested Development and I'm excited it's back by popular demand. The show is intricate and nuanced in a way that reminds me of the work of Christopher Guest. After initially dropping Mad Men due to the despicable nature of the main characters, I came back to the show after pondering its premise on a deeper level. What seemed pointless to me at first became a promise of redemption. I'm enjoying watching the characters grow and evolve as they make their way through the mistakes and emotional chasms of their lives. The Wire is maybe my favorite show of all time, having touched upon so many complex themes and conflicts that plague us in this complicated modern world. However, seeing as though that show has been over for some years now, I probably ought to get into David Simon's new show Treme. All things in time.
8. If you woke up tomorrow as a woman, what's the first thing you would do?
The first thing I would do is turn to my wife and tell her something magical had happened. Then I would take her for a picnic by the creek where we would eat sliced cheese and fruit. Maybe chat about old friends or see an otter by the banks. One can only dream…
9. Who are some of your favorite accounts on Twitter?
Oh man. So many good Twitter feeds to follow. Some of my favorites are @curlycomedy @lanyardtwerk @LouisPeitzman @UncleDynamite @Caissie @AmberTozer @TheBosha @000___000 @tedleo @aimeemann @spacejamb @jonwurster @TheOnion and of course the always hilarious and dashing @robfee.
10. What's your favorite thing about me?
My favorite thing about you is how you look in blue, but we can get to that later. For now, I'm happy you thought of me for this interview. It's been fun! :-)
Rob Fee is a writer and comedian best known for writing and telling jokes. You can follow him on Twitter @RobFee to read more of these jokes or go to Del Taco. He's probably there.
Rob previously asked ten weird questions of such Twitter luminaries as The Bachelor producer Elan Gale and Kevin Pereira.

Ipswich residents to get fit and healthy
Published by rtownsend for Sanctuary Housing Association in Communities and also in Housing
Young Sanctuary residents from across Ipswich are set to get fit and healthy and improve their sporting skills at free coaching sessions in their local community.
Organised by Sanctuary Housing in partnership with Ipswich Town Football Club (ITFC) Charitable Trust, the coaching forms part of Sanctuary's national Football and Fitness Project involving ten similar partnerships with football league clubs across the UK.
The Ipswich training sessions, run by fully qualified coaches, are open to young Sanctuary residents, male or female, aged 16-24 from across the community and kicked-off last week. The free sessions are taking place at the club's Portman Road training facility from 3 – 4.30pm on Fridays and will run for nine weeks.
The exciting programme will give participants the opportunity to develop their talents across a variety of sports including football, tennis and handball, improve physical health and wellbeing, increase their confidence and self esteem, and allow them to interact and engage with other members of the local community in a positive way.
The sessions will also allow the young people to work towards gaining recognised qualifications and access potential employment opportunities.
Emma Keegan, Sanctuary's Head of Housing Operations for the East, said: "Sport and physical activity programmes provide the ideal platform for personal and social development in young people, so we are pleased to be bringing them sport and fitness through our partnership with ITFC Charitable Trust.
"With over 200 youngsters across the country already benefiting from the programme, we would encourage young Ipswich residents to take advantage of this exciting opportunity and come along with their friends to join in the fun."

2009 News Releases
Longwood senior is university's William McGowan Scholar
January 30, 2009
Longwood University senior Jillian Klein is the university's William G. McGowan Scholar for 2008-09.
The McGowan Scholars Program, made possible by the McGowan Charitable Fund, provides selected colleges and universities with scholarships to help business students. It funds one full-tuition scholarship for an undergraduate or graduate student at each school, which have to be accredited by AACSB International. Recipients must be at least a rising senior with a 3.5 grade-point average who demonstrate "unusual promise and leadership potential."
Klein, from Richmond, is majoring in business administration (marketing concentration) with a minor in communication studies. She has a 4.0 GPA at Longwood, to which she transferred in January 2007, in the middle of her sophomore year, from George Mason University. She is president of Longwood's chapter of the American Marketing Association and a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies, the Honor Board, the Student Advisory Board for the College of Business & Economics, and Kappa Delta sorority.
She has done three internships. One was with CRT/tanaka, a Richmond public relations firm, in January over winter break; she did an internship in advertising and public relations with Dominion Virginia Power, also in Richmond, in the summer of 2008 and again during the recent winter break; and she was a marketing intern with the Dressing Room in Farmville from September to December 2008. She plans to pursue a career in business-to-business sales.
Klein is a graduate of Douglas Southall Freeman High School and is the daughter of Caren Harris and Denis Klein, both of Richmond.
She is the fourth McGowan Scholar at Longwood. The others are Mandalynn Thompson ('08), Jennifer Arthur ('07), and David Ellis ('06).

Money Saver: Endless yard sale
Johnston County and its towns along US 301 announce the first annual "Endless Yard Sale"
- -: 1) We should follow the BLM guidelines for reparations to blacks. A 15% surcharge income tax from white people paid to black families for 10 years, would be about right. 2) Racially integrate the white suburbs. The suburbs must have the same diversities as cities. 3) The government must have an, 'Off Switch' for the Internet, social media, and iPhones. It's becoming clear that criminals and rioters are utilizing social media to organize their illegal activities. If the government had an off switch, it would block their ability to communicate. 4) Outlaw the hiring of whites until the unemployment rate among blacks and other minorities are equalized with whites.

Demonstrations of association management software usually contain a wealth of information and can sometimes be overwhelming, causing you to miss learning about some of your key objectives. So, how do you make sure you get the information you need?
Start with the end in mind; focus on the end goals of what your organization needs to accomplish. Each system you review will offer different ways to accomplish tasks. Don't get hung up on the how something is done; stay
focused on the what needs to get accomplished.
And, be sure you ask the right questions.
- Objectives and communication – Prioritize your list of must-haves from your wish-I-hads. Separating what you need from what you want is an incredibly important step to take before the demo even starts. Invite all staff who will be active in making the purchasing decision, as well as those who will be using the software. This helps you get decision makers on board from the beginning and gain a better idea of what individuals who will be using the software need. Talk ahead of time with your staff about what they hope the system will help them accomplish.
- Integration – Does the software integrate with other software programs? Ask the demonstrator exactly what kinds of programs you can manage and integrate with the software. Your website, social media, events, email communications, financials, etc. are generally where you'll want to learn about integrations. This is important in determining if the association management software can create optimum efficiency by integrating with all of your core systems.
- Cost – How much does the solution cost? But keep in mind there are many different ways that costs can be incurred for membership management software. Don't just ask about recurring costs. What is the cost of implementation? What features are included? If your membership grows, will price go up? Also, consider the gains in efficiency or service to members that will affect your bottom line. Would new member sales or retention increase if you could use the system's features to better serve your members? What opportunities would you miss if you do not make a change?
- Customization – Some association management software solutions are "out of the box" solutions, so what they offer is what you get. But if your organization has special needs, you'll want to ask about whether or not customization is available. How can you tailor the system to meet your specific needs?
- Implementation – A demonstration is a great time to ask about the installation/implementation process. You need to know whether the vendor will be implementing or if your company will be installing this system on your own. Expectations and timelines are essential pieces of information to have and consider.
- Support – The question of support needs to be established up front. No matter how easy a system is to use, your staff will likely have questions about it, and you need to know ahead of time where to direct those questions. You should ask when support is available, the process for reaching support, and how long you should expect to wait to hear a response.
- How you would complete your daily tasks – While a demo is usually a generalization of how the system works, your organization is certainly different from others. Don't just accept a lightly brushed overview; ask questions that are specific to your organization and what you do on a daily basis. If you plan events, ask to see how you would set one up. If it's your job to keep track of the number of members you have and how long they have been members, then ask the vendor to show you how to run this type of report.
