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.

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. Numerous studies have indicated that SAMe can help to temporarily alleviate minor joint discomfort resulting from overexertion or stress. In addition, because SAMe is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, it plays an important role in mood support. NOW SAMe is enteric-coated, which makes it very well tolerated and protects it from degradation.

SAM-e 400 by Now Foods
This is a life saver. It really does ease joint pain, lift depression, and I can't tell about it cleansing the liver part. It's not that we are not on speaking terms, I just don't know what my liver feels like. But I do know that my hubby and I both take it every morning. We communicate better and stay more focused and have much less depression. Again a healthy life style helps and this gives us a good start toward it.

Now Foods, SAMe, 400 mg, 60 tablets
I read about SAMe from a variety of sources. My psychiatrist gave it an o.k. for mood stabilization support, but warned that it costs a lot of money. Because of joint pain AND mood issues, I was hoping for a multi-treatment of sorts, which would enable me to reduce or eliminate a few other meds. I ordered what I predicted was a 6 week supply, based on the dosing my MD suggested. I am pressing on, determined to finish the first 60 tablets, and regretting the purchase. Although "side effects may go away over time", I've about had enough. At 400, mgs, I had severe abdominal pain the first few days, diminshing to a mere loss of appetite beyond. Increasing the dose by 400 mgs/week (with permission to increase all the way up to 2400 from MD)I am now up to 1200 mgs. I will abandon this experiment at the end of the week, unless I find my knee pain improved, and the stomach pain/loss of appetite thing gone. As for mood, no one in pain and without good diet, due to loss of appetite, can be real happy. As for the money, not worth it for me. AND, come to find out from the Naturopath, SAMe is very unstable, must be refridgerated at ALL times, no matter what the product label says, should be purchased only in a blister pack etc. I have three unopened bottles left. I will ask whether iHerb will take them back, but I doubt they will. My mistake. I should have researched this one more carefully.

undermethylation - under control
Posted by 4829150388368381040 on Mar 10, 2016
See what I did there? ;) I have been advised to take one tablet per day for undermethylation and within the first month I felt notable signs of improvement. I am taking this as part of a high dose vitamin regime but SAMe is the first to take effect. Makes me drowsy so I take at nighttime with no other adverse side effects. Very satisfied.
No good compared to other brands
Posted by Reviewer2142008 on May 12, 2015
I'm very chemically sensitive when ever I have herbs oor supplements I notice an effect right away. I'll know within 1/2 hrs if something works. I have extreme anxiety and depression, started using a different brand and wow, what a difference. Changed over to NOW SAM-e and within two days I'm back to feeling shocking and crying I was so confused, tried the other brand as I hadn't finished it due to tummy troubles and boom my great mood came back. This brand does not work 100%, it has very mild effect that obviously other ppl feel but my god don't waste your money on a formula that is weak. I have two bottles of this stupid stuff and I don't know what to do with it, take it and be miserable or throw $120 down the drain. I wanted to let everyone know because there is way to many wrong positive comments on here!!!!!!!
Using SAMe since 2008
Posted by Reviewer1743995 on Apr 01, 2015
I've been using SAMe since 2008 for mood (since I was 28 yrs old), and now subsequently for joint health. One 400mg daily is the dose that I take, mid-morning. I have absolutely no side effects that I can identify, and it does not affect my stomach at all, and I have a sensitive stomach. On the flip side, I was suggested to try TMG, which is the precursor to SAMe and much much cheaper, BUT, that gives me super crazy migraines, so sorry TMG, you don't take the place of my SAMe. And I have to say, iHerb price for 60 x 400mg caps is the best I have found anywhere. Even though I have to pay over $40.00 in shipping to Canada, its still half the price per container, if I were to order locally (30 x 400mg costs $51.00 CAD elsewhere, versus 60 x 400mg $50.47 USD). So the more I order, the more I save via iHerb.

If I create a web page with Rails, does the web client have to be Ruby-capable, or does the server dispense HTML to the client? Is the downloaded web page HTML, Ruby, or something else?

Be part of the effort to build the best singletrack in Santa Cruz County by donating today! We need to raise $100,000 to build a four mile flow trail in Soquel Demo Forest and our friends at Ibis Cycles have launched the fundraising effort by donating the much anticipated Ripley 29 or the award winning Mojo HD – YOUR CHOICE.
FOX, Shimano and Easton Cycling have joined the effort to get this trail going by equipping the new Ripley with all the goodies to get you on the trail and RIPPING!
With the Ripley, Ibis wanted to bring the advantages of a 29" wheel to a lightweight, nimble and fun trailbike. They gave it 120mm of travel front and rear, which hits the sweet spot for a snappy bike that isn't cumbersome or heavy. It's approved for 140mm forks too, if you want to veer away from XC and head over to trailbike country. As with most Ibises, it's a super versatile bike. The most unique feature of the Ripley might be its dual eccentric linkages, which are the brainchild of Mr. dw-link himself, Dave Weagle. Ibis had Dave give the Ripley pedaling efficiency, XC-like acceleration and it was optimized for 29er specific gearing. The Ripley also features the usual dw-attributes such as excellent small bump compliance, predictable travel through the range with no wallowing or harsh bottom out.
It's the most anticipated Ibis ever, and they have generously agreed to donate one to our cause.
If you like 26″ wheels, Ibis has you covered there too. The winner of the drawing can also choose a Mojo HD, a trail bike known the world over for its incredible capabilities. The "HD" has 160mm of rear wheel travel and has won more accolades from the press than any bike Ibis has done to date.
Donations of $5 each qualifies for a ticket in the drawing. Donate $40 and earn a membership to MBoSC too. The more you donate, the sooner the trail gets built. 100% of the money raised goes to building the flow trail.
Donations will also be available for $5 at Trailhead Cyclery and Another Bike Shop. In addition, you will have the opportunity to purchase tickets at the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival on April 13-14 and at the Ibis Cycles booth #412 at the Sea Otter Classic April 18-21. Sign up now to support mountain biking in Santa Cruz and get in the running to win this awesome bike!
Drawing Rules
- Online donations made until 11:59 pm April 30, 2013 will receive entries in the Own The Flow drawing.

Pray for peace, and for Boston
To the editor:
As we go about our daily lives in small-town Minnesota- lives of routine, family, friends, peace and security, our attention has been turned once again to an American catastrophe. Evil has afflicted us again as cowardly terrorist bombings have savaged the beautiful,historic city of Boston! Now all Americans are Bostoniansi!
America has a most remarkable, incredibly long history of our people joining forces to combat natural and man-made disasters, thereby protecting and maintaining the common good. America's fervent desire for peace, prosperity and the rule of law is the envy of the world.'
As we continue our national daily experiment in democracy we are reminded of the stirring words of the 17th century English poet and cleric, John Donne. His words were a clarion call for love, peace, and universal brotherhood:
No man is an island, entire of itself;
Each is a piece of the continent, a part of the main,
Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Meditation 17 John Donne, 1624
May these heartfelt words strike a ringing chord, calling for peace and national unity today, for all who read them.
Pray for peace. Pray for Boston.
Martin Steffel

The Checkout: Live
July 6, 2011. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: 92Y, 92Y Tribeca, bassist, Ben Williams, jazz, Jazz Alive, josh jackson, npr, npr music, Pedro Giraudo, The Checkout, wbgo
Last month, The Checkout: Live at 92Y Tribeca made its debut. The first performance in this new series featured Dan Tepfer and Noah Preminger. You can hear excerpts from that performance during The Checkout on July 19, 6:30pm on WBGO Jazz88.3FM and online at wbgo.org.The next installment takes place Tuesday, July 19 at 8pm with Ben Williams Sound Effect and Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra
"By definition the bass player is a pivotal figure in jazz, a steward of tonality as well as tempo. Determining a good one can require close listening: that quality reveals itself in the cohesion of the band as well as in the handling of line and phrase. All of this was accounted for in Mr. Williams's set, which also involved a pair of harmonically sound original compositions and a balance of tradition and novelty." -Nate Chinen, New York Times
Washington, DC-born, New York-based bassist Ben Williams' is celebrating the release of his debut album State of Art out on Concord Jazz. The album is a result of Williams' first prize in the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Competition for double-bass. Recently, Williams has been touring with vibraphonist Stefon Harris & Blackout, a R&B and hip-hop-tinged group, which calls on Williams' unique connection with go-go, from his native Washington, DC to inform its sound and pianist Jacky Terrasson's Trio. State of Art marks Williams' first album as a leader and features tenor/soprano saxophonist Marcus Strickland, guitarist Matthew Stevens, keyboardist Gerald Clayton, drummer Jamire Williams (who also appeared with the bassist on Terrasson's Push) and percussionist Etienne Charles, joined on three tracks by alto/soprano saxophonist Jaleel Shaw.
"An opulent listening experience of modern, orchestral jazz, brimming with passionate improvisations, deliberate contrapuntal melodies and plush harmonies." — John Murph, DownBeat Magazine
Since his arrival in New York in 1996, Pedro Giraudo has performed and recorded in a wide variety of musical projects and prominent ensembles, ranging from tango to jazz, in addition to his own Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra. He has collaborated with 9-time Grammy® award winner Paquito D'Rivera, Grammy® award winner Pablo Ziegler, Latin American icon Ruben Blades, as well as with Branford Marsalis, Kenny Garrett, Regina Carter, among many others and has performed in venues such as The Blue Note (Japan & USA), Birdland (Austria & USA), Kennedy Center (Washington DC), Iridium, Jazz Standard, Jazz Gallery, Blue Note, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall (NYC).

Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., a leading supplier of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs), said that the company was not interested in developing its own x86 microprocessors. This is a yet another denial of Nvidia's plans to enter the x86 central processing units market.
"If we have such a product [x86 microprocessor], I haven't found it yet. It's just not important right now," said Mr. Huang in an interview with the New York Times.
It is rather crucial for Nvidia to have x86 technology as soon as possible: both Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. plan to release microprocessors with integrated graphics cores, which will quickly destroy the market of chipsets with built-in graphics. In addition, Intel Corp. plans to release a standalone GPU that is compatible with x86 and the market may well start using x86 for graphics processing.
The head of Nvidia claims that x86 central processing units is not a priority for his company. Instead, Nvidia will keep investing into leading-edge graphics processors, proprietary compute unified device architecture (CUDA) version of C language for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), as well as Tegra system-on-chip devices for handhelds.
"But in order to do something great in the future, you have to take risks today," added Mr. Huang.

DEC seeks assistance with wild turkey monitoring
The American wild turkey is the most sought after, legally-protected small game species in New York state. In fact, come this May, more than 100,000 New York turkey hunters will set out in pursuit of a legal 'bearded' turkey.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation limits spring season hunters to harvesting only bearded turkeys for good reason. Beards, which may look like hair, are actually clumps of coarse feathers, which are characteristically used to determine the sex, age and condition of individual birds. Although a small percentage of females (hens) grow them, they are generally characteristic of males (toms or gobblers). Research has shown that, in most cases, you can maintain a healthy turkey population even after eliminating a large percentage of toms from the flock. Since the spring season occurs after most hens have been bred, and almost all bearded turkeys are toms, the spring turkey harvest has very little impact on the next generation. In fact, a recent Virginia Tech study looked at the timing of turkey hunting seasons across the northeast and found that New York's spring season was perfectly timed, based on available data for breeding and nesting turkeys in our region.
DEC wildlife managers remain committed to safeguarding the long-term health of wild turkey populations and to providing ample opportunities for turkey hunting while preserving a sustainable harvest. They know that the long-term security and maintenance of our state's wild turkey population is directly tied to minimizing the risk of overharvesting. They also know, that a particularly cold or snowy winter can appreciably affect wild turkey populations, especially when it comes to the survival of young birds (jakes and jennies) and that populations may also be dramatically reduced by predation, disease, and/or poaching. But more study is needed to fully understand trends in turkey abundance and distribution and how weather, habitat, changing landscapes, and various other factors affect turkey populations and impact harvest.
Understanding what hunters want from and for the resource is an equally important part of turkey management planning. In recent years DEC, in partnership with Cornell University's Human Dimensions Research Unit, conducted a statewide survey of turkey hunters to determine their motivations, attitudes and opinions on turkey populations, hunting opportunities, and other related issues. And starting this month, DEC is kicking off a four-year banding study in Regions 3 through 9, the areas of the state where turkey populations are largest. The study will allow scientists to examine survival rates, hunter harvest rates, and harvest reporting rates. Of particular interest are harvest rates for hens. The data they gather will support future management efforts.
DEC wildlife researchers are asking landowners with overwintering turkey populations on their property to assist them in their study by allowing technicians onto their land to trap, band, and immediately release hen turkeys. Cooperating landowners are assured that no birds will be removed and / or relocated. Interested persons in Franklin, Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, Washington, Saratoga and Fulton Counties can contact their regional DEC project coordinator, Melissa Neely, by calling 518-623-1273. For additional information, interested landowners can contact the DEC at 518-402-8886.
Managing your property for wild turkey habitat
Turkeys require diverse habitats, which must be adequate to sustain a flock, not just an individual. A flock may use several thousand acres to support its needs. In fact, flocks of wild turkeys may range over several square miles in just one day. Therefore, a good turkey habitat management plan will also evaluate habitat provided by adjoining properties and compensate for deficiencies. In fact, when planning management, neighboring landowners may want to consider joining forces. When neighbors work together, turkey flock habitat can often be greatly improved with just a few small enhancements.
Turkeys appear to do best in areas where mixes of forested and actively farmed or reverting farmland are found. A rough overview of good turkey habitat might consist of 50 to 75 percent forestland, about half of which should be mature hardwood, with another 10 percent in clumps of conifers (spruce, balsam, white pine, hemlock). When cutting timber, a good percentage of mast producing trees should be left standing.
There should be forest openings throughout the property. These include old, abandoned fields and agricultural areas, as well as those that have resulted from timber cuts, beaver activity, logging roads, power lines, and other rights of way. One to 3-acre forest openings can be created where none exist. If desired, clearings can be planted with a mixture of grasses, forbs and legumes. Shrub and brush growth provide excellent cover for nesting hens and young poults, in addition to producing food, and can be encouraged by removing trees along clearings and at woodlot edges.
Field crops are an extremely important food source for turkeys, as well. I'm not saying landowners and farmers should plant a crop for the birds, but I am suggesting leaving a bit of corn etc. around the edges of harvested fields in isolated areas to provide a source of high energy food in winter, when the animals' needs are greatest.
Since hens like to nest in hayfields, managing old hay fields to encourage grassy growth, which will reduce predator invasion of nests, is recommended. This will also increase insect populations. Insects are a fundamental part of turkeys' diets.
If you'd like more information about wild turkeys and habitat, please feel free to contact me by email (email@example.com) or by calling Cornell Cooperative Extension of Franklin County at 518-483-7403.


text: Well known by Czechs and tourists alike by its glimmering golden rooftop, The National Theatre embodies the will of the Czech people, their national identity and fight for independence. Just before the opening in 1881, a fire broke out destroying much of the theatre. The fire was deemed a national catastrophe and great determination to collect new funds and rebuild followed. Within 6 weeks' time, enough money was raised and two years later in 1883, it opened with a performance of Libuše by Bedřich Smetana. Today, the theatre remains a wonderful place to see ballet, concerts and Czech drama.

Winning oolong tea breaks price record at Lugu, Nantou contest
http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_ ... 1106040030
2011/06/04 22:37:51
Taipei, June 4 (CNA) The winner of the 2011 spring competition of Lugu Township's Dong Ding oolong tea, one of the most famous oolong varieties in Taiwan, was sold Saturday at a price of NT$150,000 (US$5,233) per catty or 600 grams, the highest price ever seen at the competition.
The winning tea, planted by tea farmer Liu Chi-chung, broke the record of NT$100,000 per 600 grams set last year at the township's winter tea competition.
The competition, held every spring and winter by Lugu Township Farmers' Association for more than 30 years, selects the best Dong Ding oolong tea in the township in central Taiwan's Nantou County which is famous of producing oolong and other varieties of tea.
A total of 12,000 grams or 20 catties of the winning tea was immediately sold out at the competition site.
Dong Ding oolong tea is a heavily fermented tea that grows in the field of Dong Ding Mountain at 600 to 1,200 meters above sea level. It requires intricate processing and intensive roasting and has a smooth and brisk taste.
A total of 5,428 tea samples were submitted for competition this year, the most ever to enter the competition. (By Lin Heng-li and Christie Chen) Enditem/sc

Speaker: Dr. Gertrud Platz, Deputy Director (retired) of the Antikensammlung, National Museums of Berlin, and Corresponding Member of the German Archaeological Institute
The excavations of the Etruscan cities and cemeteries in the first half of the 19th century brought to light the most sensational jewelry. The delicate 6th-century BC goldsmiths' work was soon highly prized by collectors and museums. The "Etruscan gold-fever" led European high society to order jewelry in the Etruscan style for grand occasions, such as royal weddings. Consequently a flourishing industry in the restoration, completion, and forgery of ancient jewelry developed.
Both the Antikensammlung in Berlin in the 1860s and the de Young Museum twenty years later acquired—like other museums in Europe and the United States—some of the finest gold work from the Castellani Collection, belonging to the leading family of jewelers in Rome at that time. The use of a microscope made it possible to distinguish their imitations from the originals. Scientific analyses as well as experiments by goldsmiths have finally unveiled the secret of the delicate and unrivalled granulation technique of the Etruscan artisans.

The Lyric is microphone; it "reads" the movement of air in that tiny space between the underside of the saddle and the mic face.
So... do the woods, shape, size and other characteristics of a guitar matter (to the amplified sound)? Have those elements that make up so much of what we hear (and feel) coming the the guitar and the sound hole even come into play by the time the Anthem and Lyric mics have done their job?
Without doubt, these two gems provide a very authentic, amplified acoustic sound. But, would recordings of different guitars (with the same materials for bridge, saddle, pins and strings), of just the re-created sound coming from an amp or p.a., (and the player and all else being equal) sound exactly the same?
Put another way, perhaps; Could you build a guitar with a quality saddle, bridge and bridge pins, otherwise made out of Formica or something, and have the amp'd sound good with a Lyric?
With maybe too much time on my hands, I remain, faithfully,

But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. Isaiah 66:2
When John MacArthur said "Amen" at the end of his prayer last Sunday night, he had just finished his exposition of Mark's Gospel. The evening was the final punctuation on a monumental body of work—the verse-by-verse exposition of the entire New Testament. After praying, John looked up at his congregation, and with a meek grin said, "There we are." The church erupted in applause and a standing ovation, which he quieted in short order so he could thank everyone for allowing him to minister to them for more than four decades.
I was grateful to the Lord that I could witness that moment. And I'm especially thankful for the release of Iain Murray's biography of our beloved pastor: John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock. His book has helped help me understand the significance of what I witnessed last Sunday night.
Iain Murray is the preeminent Christian biographer of our time and has given us an appreciation for such gifts to the church as Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, and D. Martyn-Lloyd Jones. The strength of Murray's biographies is not simply in his unique ability to sift through the vast details of a person's life and distil them into interesting narrative, but in his acute and perceptive theological analysis. As a student of church history, Murray is able to see the implications of a man's life and ministry. He helps the reader understand where the subject fits in the historical and doctrinal development of the church, which allows him to appreciate not just the man, but more importantly, the wisdom and glory of the God who gave him to the church.
Murray applies that same pattern to his current biography of John MacArthur. The overview of his life chronicles and begins to explain what God has done through John's life to bless people all over the world. And it's a fascinating story. The vantage point of hindsight allows us to see the fingerprints of God's providence in gifting, shaping, equipping, and enabling John MacArthur to be what he is—a faithful servant of God's Word and a loving shepherd to God's flock.
Young "Johnny" MacArthur was a typical athlete—football was at the center of his life and he was uninterested in books and study. But God used a car accident to get John's attention. He refined him through the trials of responsibility and suffering, fashioning him into a uniquely useful servant for our time. He's now known as a diligent student of Scripture, enraptured with the glory of Christ and passionate about the truth. His church knows him as a meek man, a shepherd marked by humility, compassion, and generosity. His family knows him as a husband who loves his wife, Patricia, a tender father of four children, and a gentle grandfather of fifteen grandchildren.
In the book, Murray accurately portrays John MacArthur's passion for theology, and his courage in proclaiming it publicly. Armed with an insatiable curiosity and a zeal for the glory of Christ, John has read extensively and deeply. What he's learned has enabled him to lead the charge in some of the most important theological battles of our time. Murray pulls back the curtain on his thinking about doctrinal controversy and personal confrontation, and actually chronicles some of the better-known episodes.
No one could anticipate all that God has accomplished so far through John's life and ministry, which provides us yet another opportunity to praise the wisdom and power of God. John MacArthur is yet another illustration of 1 Corinthians 1:26-29.
For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God.
For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God.
Let me encourage you to read Iain Murray's absorbing biography for yourself. At 240 pages, it's very accessible and totally engaging—you'll have a hard time putting it down.
You can get a copy of John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock here, or, if you are already on the Grace to You mailing list, check your mailbox for an offer to receive a free copy of the book.

I was saved in the Pentecostal Church 42 years ago, and enjoyed my faith for about 4 years untill I began to question some of its doctrinal Ideas, went to Bible College in the local area that was non denomational, mainly to learn the truth because Church leaders were not focused on truth but denomanational doctrine, a good friend of mine told me to listen to John Macarthur and tell him what I thought, I did along with many other TV pastors, and I told my wife 10 years later we need to get out of the Pentecostol Church, they are not testing the spirt in anything that happens and I think we should attend a non denomational Church I was hearing about out by where we live. John Macathur has been the most influentual person in my life other than my Dad, I dont think Johnny Mac knows the people he has touched in his life, mine being one...some say he is boring and dont smile much....maby to some people but, if you take a John Macarthur pill....it may just save your soul from Hell...John does one thing that is lacking today and that is he will smack you right in the mouth with truth, And I for one am the type that needs to be hit over the head with a 2x4 every now and then....If I fine a fault with Johnny Mac it is one but a little one, My Mother had full blown TB when I was born and I was seperated from my mom for 2 1/2 years while they made sure I was ok, the medacation she was taking back in the late 40,s may have gave me a attention disorder that made it difficult for me in school, if it wasnt for athletics, I may have followed the wrong croud, but God is good, His Grace made sure I came out OK....But John uses words that I have a hard time understanding, he is very intellegent, but sometimes he leaves a Dult like me in the dust...his Dad Jack was very intellegent also...I just think sometimes they know it and are proud of it to where they dont realize..they may have some mental midgets out there sometimes like me...People sometimes rag on a person like Johns salery...WHY? THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE on TBN that dont deserve squat...but what John has done for me he is not paied enough..... Do I agree with everything John says....NOPE!...but lets say its a Gentelmens disagreement...The way Johnny Mac beings forth the word as truth proves to me John could of been one of the best trial Attorney this country has ever sceen,if he so inclined to do so, but thank God he didnt.
I will get this book, and Pastor John I shurly holpe the People at Grace Church fully understand who they have as a Pastor, and dont take you for just another Preacher I highly admire you as a gifted Man whos footsteps you only follow is thoes of your Lords, And I know I am in truthfull hands my friend when I learn of him from you...God Bless you.

I'm so blessed to have Dr.MacArthur's work available to me in so many ways. If my eyes are tired I've got his 3,000+ sermons to listen to.If my ears feel like they are going to explode from all the days garbage, I put some plugs in and drink deep from MacArthur's wealth of books. I don't know of any other Pastor/Teacher I throughly enjoy listening,learning and watching as I do Dr.MacArthur. His study bibles,especially NASB have been a blessing words can't describe. I have worn out three over the years and praying he does a KJV one someday. I remember when I first heard of Dr.MacArthur, I would not even listen to him because he spoke truth. Truth I did not want to hear and would not hear but, as God will do He had Dr.MacArthur on every Christian radio channel I tuned in to. Finally the Lord said "I will not always be heard so easily,that one day I will withdrawl and hardness will settle in and you will not be able to hear or accept the Word". So again, I'm so thankful that Dr. MacArthur was a thorn in my flesh and I repented and until this day still working out my salvation with fear and trembling and taking MacArthur with me where ever I go. Thank you Pastor MacArthur not only for faithful service, but faithfully preaching the Word without compromise and confronting error boldy,yet with God honoring class.
I brought a ESV John MacArthur Study Bible. The NKJV one was falling apart and needed a new one. Smiles. So, I will most surely to enjoy the new one. Just letting you know.
So looking forward to reading this keeper of a biography. Thanks to GTY and Mr. Iain Murray. Thanks too all the staff as well. I have had the honor and privilege of absorbing the teaching and preaching of Dr. John MacArthur for some time now. It was in about late 1986 early 1987 when I first became attuned to Grace To You on radio. I was working as a newspaper carrier here in San Antonio. I can remember it as if yesterday. It reminds me of the Scripture in John's gospel chapter 10 verses 4 & 5. To this day when I hear Pastor MacArthur, right away I know it's him. When me and my son are out of town and I'm fumbling around the radio station, his voice is very recognizable and its then when I hear his voice I know I'm in for real truth fore-telling and forth-telling. In other words, I'm looking and searching for his voice, if you will. It's the authority and the veracity of the Scriptures themselves that captivate, yet, it's Pastor/Teacher John MacArthur and others like him who has been given the true calling of a slave to Christ to receive and deliver, thanks be to the Spirit of the Triune Godhead. Blessed be the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to God be the Glory alone! Thank you Johnny.
Definitely looking forward to it!
I was going down the wrong theological way for awhile, even wanting to go to a small assemblies of God college, but their beliefs started to upset me. I was also getting into the prosperity gospel a couple years ago, and when I saw none of the changes (ungodly changes like getting a girl) I wondered why, but I tried to hold on to it with no avail. Now I can say because of reading his commentaries and sermons, I believe I am firmly grounded in the truth of scripture and let it speak for itself.
Without a doubt, when the book and chapter of John MacArthur's life closes here on earth, another more prominent Author will have Dr. MacArthur's name not only mentioned in passing, but also written into eternity. It will be The Lamb's Book of Life that his name will be enshrined in.
Can you even imagine being made mention of in this book, by this great Author and finisher of our faith? We serve an awesome God!!!
And one day, when the hour and time finally comes for John MacArthur, and his life's story reaches "The End," he will be emboldened to say, with overwhelming tears of joy and happiness, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory 1 Cor 15:55)? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:57).
And all the children of God sing (In Chorus), "We serve an awesome God!!!!!"
Travis, it was around 10 years ago that I can remember listening to John on the radio and telling my wife "that's not what that scripture says". Then I'd get out my exhaustive concordance to prove it, but sure enough, out the door went one more error that I had picked up from some "preacher" along the way. You remove enough error and the scriptures really come alive. Before long I began to tell my wife "I think John MacArthur has a microphone hidden in our house somewhere. It was during those "precise times" that his message on the radio or internet was addressing the very issue I had been trying to deal with. Eventually it came to pass that on rare occasions I would read something that he wrote several years ago and I'd say "he missed that one" but then I would search it out and find one of his more current messages or writings and once again we were "saying the same thing". I cannot tell you how encouraging those times are. You see, I'm a nobody, an absolute nobody, and it is on those rare occasions that I am able to marvel at the fact that my Master's hand truly is on my life. There is a very special place in my heart for John. It really isn't so much for John as it is for my Master's Word and the glory of my Master being revealed in that precious vessel of clay. –His Unworthy Slave
I once heard John MacArthur say, that his very best friends are jewish: Paul, John, Peter, Matthew....
I feel the same way. I have never met my best friends, and they have never met me. John, I have spent many many hours with you!
Thanks friend, for showing me more and more and more of our Lord.
Thank you Dr. MacArthur for you ever steadfastness to the teaching of the Word of our Lord, the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of Life. It is men like you that encourage men like me. I always look forward to your exposition of the scriptures. I feel blessed that the Lord revealed your ministry to me in 1996, the first year I was saved by His grace. Thank you again- If we don't meet this side of Heaven I look forward to praising the King of kings with you in eternity.
I might also add.... In my opinion Johnny Mac has two Preaching modes
The first is where he teach from a high intellectual tone where every thing is very precisely laded out...and One must follow him closely...and Then ends with a very good reason to need repentance...Those That are a against John label him as a hard core Calvinist....bla...bla Listren folks there is not one Bible teacher on the face of this earth that don't or was not taught by another Author of some sort, even in Pauls day there were those who said "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollo," are you not mere men?...and John is a mere man but listen up folks John is the best when it comes to waking you up to the fact that Jesus Christ is Lord.
And Johns second preaching mode is when the Holy Spirit reaches down and takes the leash off John and says "SICK-UM"...for Me this is when John is at his best this is when he puts Heavens Dynamite in hells dark cave in the unbelieving heart..Again Can't wait to read the Book Pastor John.
All glory to God for raising up a man of faith like John MacArthur: A slave of the gospel who has been unwaivering in his stand for the truth! Praise God!
Congratulations on your completion of preaching through the New Testament, and thank you; I have been very blessed by your resources that have come forth as a result of your devotion.
First off, congratulations on preaching through the entire New Testament; this is an amazing thing and I rejoice greatly over this. My wife and I have both been impacted greatly in our understanding by the teaching of John MacArthur. I am so grateful for men of God like Dr. MacArthur who faithfully preach the word of God and as a word of encouragement I would like to reiterate the Apostle Paul, "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction" (2 Timothy 4:1-2). Thank you, John, as a brother in Christ, thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord and the faithful preaching of His word. You have truly made a difference in helping both me and my wife being able to study the word for ourselves. God bless you brother. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Congratulations for such an Wonderful Service in the Lord these many years. I stumbled across Dr. MacArthur's Teaching some years ago or so on YouTube or something there isn't that many Biblical Churches where we live I go to a biblical church now at least. Dr. MacArthur's teachings has helped me understand many of the things of the Word and have a Passion for Studying God's Word. I got Dr. MacArthur's NASB Study Bible about a year ago or so from a friend I told him I was looking at getting it but due to Financial I wasn't sure if i could so I got it as a gift. The Lord is so good and everyday brings forth another opportunity to Open God's Word and Dr. MacArthur is about #1 on my list of Recommended Bible Study Teachers now.

European otter
The European otter (Lutra lutra), also known as the Eurasian otter, Eurasian river otter, common otter and Old World otter, is a European and Asian member of the Lutrinae or otter subfamily, and is typical of freshwater otters.
The European otter is a typical species of the otter subfamily. Brown above and cream below, these long, slender creatures are well-equipped for their aquatic habits. This otter differs from the North American river otter by its shorter neck, broader visage, the greater space between the ears and its longer tail.[2] However, the European otter is the only otter in its range, so it cannot be confused for any other animal. Normally, this species is 57 to 95 cm (23–37 in) long, not counting a tail of 35–45 cm (14–18 in). The female is shorter than the male.[3] The otter's average body weight is 7 to 12 kg (15.4–26.4 lbs), although occasionally a large old male may reach up to 17 kg (37 lbs).[4][5] The record-sized specimen, reported by a reliable source but not verified, weighed over 24 kg (53 lbs).[6]
Range and habitat[edit]
The European otter is the most widely distributed otter species, its range including parts of Asia and Africa, as well as being spread across Europe. Though currently believed to be extinct in Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, they are now very common in Latvia, along the coast of Norway and across Great Britain, especially Shetland, where 12% of the UK breeding population exist.[7] Ireland has the highest density of Eurasian otters in Europe.[citation needed] In Italy, they can be found in southern part of the peninsula. These creatures live in South Korea, and are endangered.
In general, their varied and adaptable diets mean they may inhabit any unpolluted body of fresh water, including lakes, streams, rivers, and ponds, as long as the food supply is adequate. European otters may also live along the coast, in salt water, but require regular access to fresh water to clean their fur. When living in the sea, individuals of this species are sometimes referred to as "sea otters", but they should not be confused with the true sea otter, a North American species much more strongly adapted to a marine existence.
The European otter's diet mainly consists of fish. During the winter and in colder environments, though, fish consumption is significantly lower, and the otters use other sources of food, including birds, insects, frogs, crustaceans and sometimes small mammals, including young beavers.[8]
Behaviour and reproduction[edit]
European otters are strongly territorial, living alone for the most part. An individual's territory may vary between about one and 40 kilometres long (about one-half to 25 miles), with about 18 km (about 11 miles) being usual. The length of the territory depends on the density of food available and the width of the water suitable for hunting (it is shorter on coasts, where the available width is much wider, and longer on narrower rivers). The territories are only held against members of the same sex, so those of males and females may overlap.[9]Mating takes place in water. Eurasian otters are nonseasonal breeders (males and females will breed at any time of the year) and it has been found that their mating season is most likely determined simply by the otters' reproductive maturity and physiological state. Female otters are sexually mature between 18 and 24 months old and the average age of first breeding is found to be 2.5 years old. Gestation for L. lutra is 60–64 days, litter weight when being compared to the female body mass is about 10%. After the gestation period one to four pups are born, which remain dependent on the mother for about 13 months.[10] The male plays no direct role in parental care, although the territory of a female with her pups is usually entirely within that of the male.[9] Hunting mainly takes place at night, while the day is usually spent in the European otter's holt (den) – usually a burrow or hollow tree on the riverbank which can sometimes only be entered from underwater. Though long thought to hunt using sight and touch only, evidence is emerging that they may also be able to smell underwater – possibly in a similar manner to the star-nosed mole.[11][12]
The European otter declined across its range in the second half of the 20th century[13] primarily due to pollution from pesticides such as organochlorine (OCs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Other threats included habitat loss and hunting, both legal and illegal.[14] European otter populations are now recovering in many parts of Europe. In the United Kingdom the number of sites with an otter presence increased by 55% between 1994 and 2002.[citation needed] In August, 2011, the Environment Agency announced that otters had returned to every county in England since vanishing from every county except the West Country and parts of Northern England.[15] Recovery is partly due to a ban on the most harmful pesticides that has been in place across Europe since 1979,[16] partly to improvements in water quality leading to increases in prey populations, and partly to direct legal protection under the European Union Habitats Directive[17] and national legislation in several European countries.[18][19][20] In Hong Kong, it is a protected species under Wild Animals Protection Ordinance Cap 170. It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List.[1]

Good but not perfect
Even though I put the lid on properly, it seems to leak a bit sometimes. It will appear that the lid is on snug but then I'll get some dripping. Also, because this is plastic I find that the powder I put into the bottom compartment can stick to it. I think I'll be using the bottom compartment to store snacks instead of drink powders. Otherwise this is made with a very thick plastic and seems like it's very durable and will definitely handle more than a few falls. This is going to replace my previous shaker cup, which I'm using for my Greens Plus drink.

A really good shaker cup (almost everything is really good) but with a really big con - it leaks! It even leaks if you DIY add an rubber seal ring, how bad is that? I think this shaker is poorly constructed - it has a capillary effect near the lid, and leaks no mater what you do. Update: I think I figured out how to fix this leaking problem - I just polished top of the cup with a blade, girding 0.2mm of it. Seems to work, hope it helps others too.

text: Living in the Antarctic region, Adelie penguins must withstand very cold temperatures. During the winter months they inhabit large coastal ice platforms, so they will have better access to food. Krill, the primary staple in their diet, feed on plankton that live underneath sea ice, so there is an abundance of krill in those areas. During the breeding season, typically in the early spring and summer months, they travel to coastal beaches to build their nests on ice-free ground. With access to open water, this locale provides the penguins with almost immediate access to food for themselves and their young. (Alten, 1997; Berger, 2004; George, 2002)

What do you think? Paul, John and now Ringo all have had their own greatest hits albums released in recent years complete with remastered tracks. Why hasn't this happened yet for George? As far as I know he only got two greatest hits compilations released that were split up between the 70's and 80's. There is still some quality George material that is out of print such as songs like "Cheer Down" and "Dark Horse" that could use a proper remastering. And although it is less likely to happen, they could also possibly use this as an opportunity to remix some of those Spector-drenched tracks off of All Things Must Pass (George himself considered doing this for that album's re-release).
The compilation could cover everything from his first solo LP all the way up to Brainwashed. And they could probably throw some bonus tracks in there as well such as "Horse To The Water" (his final recorded song) and maybe some unreleased stuff. Supposedly George said in one of his final interviews that he had recorded at least two albums' worth of material. Perhaps if this is true something could be salvaged from those recordings?
So what would your tracklisting be?

NYPA President Says Private Sector Should Build New Power Plants
May 12, 2004
ALBANY—New York Power Authority (NYPA) President and Chief Executive Officer Eugene W. Zeltmann said Wednesday that NYPA does "not foresee the need" to build any more new power plants of its own and that it expects private developers to provide sufficient additional generating capacity for the state.
"We believe the private sector should be able to meet the challenges and capitalize on available opportunities in our market," Zeltmann said at the Independent Power Producers of New York's annual legislative conference at the Desmond Hotel. "You construct power plants, you take it very seriously and you're very good at it."
Zeltmann said the Power Authority anticipates that the most efficient way to meet its future capacity requirements will be to buy the electricity from private sources "unless we have to build a facility in response to a compelling public need that is not being fulfilled" by the private sector.
He noted that NYPA, the nation's largest state-owned electric utility, announced earlier this week that it will issue a request for proposals on June 4 to supply up to 500 megawatts (mw) of capacity and sufficient energy to help serve its government customers in New York City for up to 20 years. The purchases would begin after the shutdown of the Authority's 875-mw Charles Poletti Power Project in Queens, scheduled to take place as soon as February 2008 and no later than January 2010.
"Through our competitive bidding process, the Power Authority is giving New York's independent power producers the opportunity to replace the output of Poletti," Zeltmann said.
"We recognize," he said, "that it is vitally important to New York's power industry that there be a competitive private sector."
The Power Authority owns and operates 17 power plants with a total installed capacity of more than 6,100 mw and has long been one of New York State's premier power generators. In 2002, in response to potential capacity shortages and to help serve its government customers, it began construction at the Poletti site of a clean, new 500-mw plant that is scheduled for completion next year. The NYPA system also includes more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines, accounting for about one-third of the state's high-voltage transmission.
As with generation, Zeltmann said NYPA "does not foresee building any new transmission lines unless we perceive that we must do so in response to a compelling public need."
He said that, ideally, the competitive power market will dictate where merchant transmission projects should be built by private developers, but that the market at times may not send the proper signal.
"In such cases," Zeltmann said, "we believe that any lines necessary to maintain reliability can most effectively and efficiently be built by the utilities that directly serve retail consumers and that this should be done through the regulatory process. The only circumstances under which the Power Authority would foresee building new transmission would be if this process failed and there were a compelling reliability need."
Zeltmann said the Power Authority's massive hydroelectric projects on the Niagara and St. Lawrence rivers will remain central to its operations and to the economic health of Western and Northern New York. However, he noted that NYPA obtains all the power for its other economic development programs, including the Power for Jobs initiative for businesses and non-profit entities, from the private sector.
He said a rebate program that Gov. George E. Pataki has proposed to mitigate electricity cost increases for customers whose Power for Jobs contracts are expiring would "contribute further to the development of competition." He said that under the governor's proposal, more than 450 mw of demand would move from Power for Jobs to the retail market and that customer savings and job protection would continue at lower cost than under the current program.
The NYPA president told the independent power producers that the Authority's expanding emphasis on energy efficiency and clean new power sources such as fuel cells and solar panels can also "work well with what you do."
"Our goal here is not to preempt the field," Zeltmann said, "but to demonstrate the commercial viability of various technologies so that private developers might be willing to take them further."

Skip to comments.See Which Congressmen Voted Against 'In God We Trust'
Posted on 11/03/2011 2:06:19 PM PDT by opentalk
The House of Representatives passed a bi-partisan resolution Tuesday night reaffirming In God We Trust as the official motto of the United States. The 396-9 vote came at the request of Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) in part over President Obamas refusal to correct remarks he made that misstated the motto as E pluribus unum instead of In God We Trust.
Lawmakers voting against In God We Trust include Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich), Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA). Voting present were Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Rep. Melvin Watt (D-NC).
The bi-partisan resolution not only affirms In God We Trust as the national motto, but it also encourages its display in public buildings and government institutions.
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
A speech President Obama gave last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, he stated that the motto was instead E Pluribus Unum, Latin for Out of many, one.
Obama keeps pushing the collective verse individual responsibility.
All commies.
Waddler...what a shock
Maybe he would have voted for it if it said "In Allah we trust."
All Commies, Muslims, or both!
I'm sure that this statement encourages its display in public buildings and government institutions......includes the schools also......right?
Wadler/Nadler/Ackerman - New York: somebody had better make this a campaign issue. What a couple of creeps. We can do better than this, New Yorkers.
Self-professed atheist.
and one RINO from Michigan.
Ping for later
***The bi-partisan resolution not only affirms In God We Trust as the national motto,****
"And this be our motto, 'IN GOD IS OUR TRUST.'"-From the National Anthem by Francis Scott Key.
"And this be our motto: In God is our trust"
Without Him we are nothing!
Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich). Which district does this RINO represent?
Yes, we should praise the God who has made us and preserved us as a nation.
Remember when Al Gore said that "E Pluribus Unum" meant "out of one, many"? And Quayle was supposed to be an idiot. And NOBODY makes Biden jokes, even though Leno could read a transcript of slow Joe speaking off the cuff and have the audience laughing their butts off.
The media has been picking and choosing America's leaders for some time now with very few exceptions.
You'd think Americans would catch on.
Marxism on full display....
Judging by the way our congresscritters suck up to Islam, Keith Ellison will get his wish soon enough.
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
Includes Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich), thanks opentalk.
Even if it were a matter of religious loyalty they are supposed to represent their constituents not their personal feelings. Scumbags all!
Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.
Amash was in full spin today
So militant muslim Keith Ellison voted present. Could it be that he's concerned about the reaction of his constituents?
The usual list of suspects.
I'm sure Walberg voted for "In God We Trust." Bill Hardiman would have voted for the bill as well . . . .
How did Amash spin his NAY vote? Did he say that it exceeded Congress's ennumerated powers, à la Ron Paul? (Then again, didn't Paul vote for the bill?)
Weird about Ellison. Yes he may call his god "Allah", but doesn't he still think of Him as "God"?
..The only Republican to vote against "In God We Trust".
I'd cut Justin some slack on this... he is extremely focus & principaled. I'm a huge fan.
However, the legislation is not a mandate--it supports and encourages the display of the motto in all public buildings, schools, government installations, etc. It also seems to make it more difficult for atheistic whack jobs to call for, and be granted, removal of the motto. Sure, it's relatively meaningless legislation, but to me it's a sway in the right direction.
Seems to me that he was rather out of focus on this issue. And he is "principled" in a way that only someone who has never worked in the private sector (he went from law school straight into politics) could be—without any sense of the effects that his actions will have on the real world. But that's what happens when we elect a 30-year-old with no military or private-sector experience based on his voting record over 18 months in the state legislature. Now liberals will point to how "even conservatives" oppose having "In God We Trust" as our national motto. Heck of a job, Jason.
Justin Amash needs to grow up.
I've never heard of the young rep, but then Grand Rapids means Gerald Ford, which means moderate, really liberal.

Looking for health insurance?
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has announced $67 million in grant awards to 105 grant applicants in federally-facilitated and state partnership marketplaces.
These grantees and their staff, according to an HHS press release, will serve as an in-person resource for Americans who want additional assistance in shopping for and enrolling in plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace beginning this fall.
The announcement builds on progress in outreach and education made this summer. Consumers can learn about and enroll in coverage later this fall through HealthCare.gov. HHS launched a 24-hour-a-day consumer call center ready to answer questions in 150 languages. More than 1,200 community health centers across the country are preparing to help enroll uninsured Americans in coverage, and a partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services will help trusted local libraries be a resource for consumers who want information on their options.
In addition, HHS has begun training other individuals who will be providing in-person assistance, such as agents and brokers and certified application counselors.
Grantees are trained to provide unbiased information in a culturally competent manner to consumers about health insurance, the new Health Insurance Marketplaces, qualified health plans, and public programs including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. The grantee funding opportunity announcement was open to eligible private and public groups and people who are self-employed who met certain standards to promote effectiveness, diversity and program integrity.
