Expiration Date:?Oct 2018Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.24 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Skip to comments.Rep. Pelosi knocks Republicans' 'obsession' with Benghazi attack
Posted on 05/11/2013 9:39:38 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
Rep. Pelosi knocks Republicans' 'obsession' with Benghazi attack By Sam Baker - 05/11/13 11:43 AM ET
Congressional Republicans are using their Benghazi investigation as political "subterfuge" to distract from other issues, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Saturday.
Pelosi said it's important to find out what happened in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. But the right is taking it too far, she said in an interview with MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry.
"The obsession that some of my Republican colleagues have in the House doesn't look like it's on the path to really finding a solution, but just to keeping an issue alive," she said.
House Republicans held a day-long hearing this week on the Benghazi attacks, focusing on security at the consulate as well as the way the administration described the attack.
"We certainly have to give the full attention Benghazi deserves, but we cannot let it soak up all of the congressional attention," Pelosi said. "What would be the purpose of that?"
The issue has also dominated conservative media.
"We want to find out what did happen, but then it becomes an issue that is subterfuge: 'Let's talk about Benghazi forever, so we don't have to talk about what the American people want us to talk about,'" Pelosi said. "They want us to talk about jobs, they want us to talk about economic security, economic growth."
Republicans have accused the administration of downplaying the attack, citing initial talking points that described it as a protest over an anti-Islamic YouTube video rather than a coordinated terrorist attack.
Some Republicans have also questioned whether the administration refused requests for additional security in Benghazi.
"Much of what is being said out there by some of my colleagues in Congress is simply not true
it simply isn't true," Pelosi said. "So we have to make sure the public record is clear."
Pelosi is obsessed with reminding US that she has the mental capacity of a garden snail.
Pelosi. Pelosi?
Is that cadaver still alive?
Must be close to the truth, I hear rats squealing...
This from the California ditz who is currently "obsessed" with ObamaCare, "gay marriage" and gun control. What a maroon.
Pelosi is the person responsible for the FRAUD of Obama.
She filed THE altered Certificate to make him pRes_ _ential
Pelosi is the key to the fraud.
How could you, in all decency to garden snails, insult them by comparing Pelosi to them? Garden snails are at least one standard deviation smarter than Pelosi is. LOL
Nice spin, Bela, but it's not gonna fly. You and your admin buddies are up to your armpits in Benghazi quicksand.
Yet, pushing her failed gun control last month had how much to do with jobs?!
Pelosi isn't smart enough to be a good liar. She lies, but she isn't good at it.
Nancy needs to give America a break. She should resign and go home to spend more time with her money.
Apparently even Pelosi's handlers can't wake her out of her stupor.
[[Rep. Pelosi knocks Republicans' 'obsession' with Benghazi attack ]]
And of course no republican said "Psssst- Nancyu- have you forgotten abotu your side's asinine obsession with Sarah PaLIN's Wardrobe durign hte electorial process? or your sides obssession with Senator Stevens of Alaska, or Marc Sanford, or... on and on it goes-? Don 't preach to us abotu obssession!"
Silly Republicans . . . obsessed over national security, competent officials, transparent government, honest leaders, human life . . . you know, the little stuff . . . that's us!
Attention dimwit Pelosi: One - Democrats were all over Nixon for lying but nobody died as did four brave and abandonded Americans in Benghazi, through incompetence and lying by Democrats; Two - if Bush was president and the same scenario occurred she's be all over him relentlessly like a rabid pit bull.
that all you got Pelosi?
your guy can't be removed, he can only be impeached.
Hey Nanc, try this on;
We have to pass the Articles of Impeachment to find out what's in them.
Hey, Pigloser......0bamao lied, people died.
Remember THAT cute ditty?
Well, Nancy, I guess you should be happy that it wasn't one of your children who was murdered by terrorists in Lybia, and then their murder was covered up by a disgusting liar of a president.
Well....excuse the hell out of me!
I am certain that there is an Aggie out there that is sorely puckered up over your post..... lol
Now, Go forth and insult innocent critters no more! LOL!
This Pelosi rat has tied her tail to the SS obammy. No choice but to go down with the ship.
(Here's a slightly altered talking point/truth.)
Pelosi is actually saying the following:
"The families of the victims (dead and wounded) are obsessed with Benghazi."
When she hits Republicans, she hits victims' families at the same time.
There is no escaping it.
"What would be the purpose of that?"....Find out who is incompetent, traitorous or narcisistict?
She is a pure Alinskyite!
Now, that we're at that point, the Rats are insisting that it happened a long time ago, that it makes no difference, and that Republicans are obsessed with old news.
Sorry, but that won't fly this time.
Drip... drip... drip...
Benghazi - 4 American dead
Iraq - 4,000 American dead
Staying the hell out of these wars - PRICELESS
Who the hell keeps voting for this b*tch? Reminds me of that joke I heard a while back (paraphrasing) where this guy dies and is accidentally sent to hell, and Satan is giving a sermon in the middle of this arena and the usher tells the guy
"Everyone is seated to their level of evil in life..For example, you are in the very last row because you were suppose to be sent to heaven...The row in front of you are all the people who helped Hitler get to power. the row in front of them are the people who helped Stalin and the row in front of them are the ones who helped Mao."
Then the guy sees at the very first row by the stage all the people sitting there are engulfed in fire and magma and they screaming in agony and terror and the guys asks "So who are those people in the front row?" And the usher says "Those are the people who kept reelecting Nancy Pelosi"
D=What difference does it make?
That's in Golden gate park I believe, right next to Lincoln way and Martin Luther King jr drive. Freakin' unreal.
yup...but a three year investigation into plamegate, despite the fact the special prosecutor knew two days into the investigation who revealed that joe plame's wife was in the CIA, was justified for pelosi and liberals...
The democrat choir is getting fewer and fewer showing up for practice, it's starting to be realized the harmony has always been bad, and the melody is old and worn out.
Why are her inane mutterings even considered news?
Please explain to me how one can insult Pelosi?
For the life of me, I can't think of anything that would not come across as a compliment.
Who did Pelosi call for an interview—Melissa Harris-Perry, who said "our children are not our private property."
Well I guess that is the difference between the two of us.
You give her credit for an IQ of ZERO.
I give her credit for an IQ of ONE.
In that difference, an insult is theoretically possible.
I was a young working man during Watergate. Nobody called that an "obsession", but then the Republicans were guilty and the Washington Post led the charge. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, everyone in mainstream media is trying to ignore it. Sure wish these people in the media would wake up and realize we want the truth and the right to hold those in charge accountable for their errors. After all, our future safety might depend on it. Time to be Americans, not global citizens, Republicans or Democrats, and unite to save our future.
What difference does it make ?
Great idea! lol
She needs to retire and take John McCain with her..

VCA Animal Hospitals reports approximately 1 in 3 dogs or cats will need to visit a veterinarian clinic annually because of illness or accidents. As this is in addition to routine health care—like dog vaccinations—pet insurance is becoming all the more necessary.
Aside from the shock and concern owners face when dealing with a sick cat or dog, another unpleasant surprise is often the cost for such treatments. According to VCA, opting for pet insurance helps alleviate the stress owners can be faced with when deciding whether or not to go forward with a costly treatment. Having insurance allows an owner a peace of mind and lets them focus on their animal's condition rather than money in an emergency situation. Aside from emergencies, pet insurance can also help offset the cost of routine health care.
VCA reports most major insurance companies now offer plans for pets. Inquire if your company offers it as an employee benefit. There are also specific companies that solely sell pet insurance. Your veterinarian can help you with the right plan for your pet's needs.

April 27: International Jazz Day in Paris
April 26, 2012. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: herbie hancock, International Jazz Day, Jazz Alive
UNESCO -- the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization -- has named April 30 as International Jazz Day. And festivities begin on Friday, April 27, in Paris. For more information, visit the UNESCO web page.
UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock spoke with Alex Dutilh of France Musique yesterday about the pianist's involvement in International Jazz Day, as well as changes in jazz worldwide since Herbie started to play the music as a teenager in the mid 1950s. Herbie says,
. . . my experience [then] was that for the most part, the best jazz musicians were Americans. I can't say that these days. I can't say that today because, in my experience traveling around the world and hearing jazz musicians from different countries and seeing also jazz musicians that have moved to the United States and gotten experience working with great world class musicians in America and taken that back to their home countries, it's expanded the professional level of jazz musicianship. Exponentially. So now it truly is an international music.
At sunrise on Monday, April 30, there will be a worldwide hookup of young players in New Orleans, Rio, Cape Town and Paris on a synchronized live version of Herbie's "Watermelon Man!"
Check out the April 30 events at UN headquarters in New York here.
And Monday night at 6:30, we'll broadcast the New Orleans concert as a special. Listen to WBGO and wbgo.org for more info.

Thomas Keller's passion for sustainability and the farm-to-table movement was quite evident at Flavor! Napa Valley 2012. The esteemed chef began his culinary demonstration by emphasizing the importance of selecting fresh produce.
Keller, who started his exemplary career at the Palm Beach Yacht Club, explained that the gardens at his numerous restaurants are an important education tool for young chefs. On any given night (and depending on the restaurant), about 10 to 25 percent of the gardens are used.
"For young culinarians, it teaches them a deep sense of respect for all ingredients," Keller said.

Similarly, he encouraged audience members to seek out fresh, high-quality ingredients from local farming and fishing communities. "Go to the market and really speak with your pocketbook and demand better products and higher quality," he said.
Keller and Devin Knell, the executive sous chef of French Laundry, demonstrated how to prepare sunchoke soup with nicoise olive crumble and country bread croutons.
Photo: Andrew Olanoff/WFIU
Purée of sunchoke soup
1/2 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 3/4 cups sunchokes, peeled, sliced about 1/4 thick
1 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Nicoise olive crumble
1 cup Nicoise olives, pitted
Country bread croutons
1 1/2 cups of country bread, diced into 1/2" cubes
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
- For the purée of sunchoke soup: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, onions and salt. Sweat the onions until they are soft and translucent but have not taken on any color.
- Add the sunchokes and stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sunchokes are very soft. Carefully transfer the contents of the pot to a bar blender and purée until very soft. You may have to do this in small batches.
- Strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve and adjust the seasoning with salt and sugar. Serve immediately or the soup can be served chilled.
- For the nicoise olive crumble: Two days ahead of time, place the pitted nicoise olives in a pint-sized container; add cold water to cover.
- Allow the olives to soak overnight in the refrigerator. The soaking process removes the excess salt from the olives.
- The next day, heat an over to 350 degrees F.
- Drain the olives well and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the olives in the oven and allow them to dry overnight.
- The olives are crisp and will crush between your fingers. Remove the dried olives from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Coarsely chop the olives and reserve in an airtight container.
- For the country bread croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the diced country bread with the olive oil to coat evenly; season with salt.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet; bake in the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Dubai's camel races hid an ugly truth: children conscripted as jockeys.
By SUSAN TAYLOR MARTIN
Published December 10, 2006
LAHORE, Pakistan - Sometimes, when he is not studying the Koran or learning to sew, Hassan Ali remembers his other life.
The glass towers of Dubai shimmering like a mirage in the hazy air. The camels snorting and straining at the dusty starting line. The rich Arabs cheering in the VIP stands.
It was there, on the camel tracks of the United Arab Emirates, that Hassan became a star.
Every Friday, the tiny boy donned red-and-white silks, climbed onto a camel four times his height and raced around a track so big the action on the back stretch was best viewed on monitors. Up and down, up and down, his skinny arms flicked the whip, because the faster his camel reached the finish line, the sooner Hassan would be allowed to eat.
Last year, under international pressure, the United Arab Emirates announced it was banning the use of child camel jockeys. Hundreds of boys were sent home to the poor countries from which they came: Sudan, Bangladesh, Mauritius and Pakistan.
And so it happened that Hassan - with a hint of a mustache but weighing just 81 pounds - arrived in July 2005 at the Child Protective Services Center in Lahore, where he would live while the staff tried to find his family. That would not be easy in a country of 170-million - Hassan was so young when a trafficker took him from Pakistan that he didn't remember his parents, his birthplace or even his real name and age.
All the staff had to go on was what met the eye: a man's face on a little boy's body. The only way they could approximate his age was by checking his teeth. As one would do with a horse.
'Unchildlike hands'
Camel racing has long been one of the most popular pastimes on the Arabian Peninsula. But with the explosion of oil wealth, it assumed the trappings of a major sport patronized by the rich and powerful.
In a recent lawsuit filed in Miami, the rulers of Dubai - close U.S. allies - are accused of enslaving thousands of boys and forcing them to work as camel jockeys in "one of the greatest humanitarian crimes of the last 50 years."
"Because camel racing is extremely dangerous and arduous, especially for children, the Arab sheiks would not make their own children jockeys and trainers," the suit says. "The sheiks instead bought boys who had been abducted and trafficked across international boundaries and enslaved as young as 2 years old."
The suit, filed by a team of U.S. lawyers on behalf of "John Doe" jockeys and their parents, is being brought in Florida because the defendants own a Jacksonville hotel and horses in Ocala among their billions of dollars in U.S. assets.
Through the UAE's embassy in Washington, the sheiks have denied the allegations. But the lawsuit echoes claims by Human Rights Watch and others that young jockeys in Persian Gulf countries were physically and sexually abused, starved to keep their weight down, injured or even trampled to death by camels weighing three-quarters of a ton.
In early 2005, the UAE banned jockeys younger than 16 and in a deal with the United Nations agreed to repatriate them to their native countries. While waiting to fly home, they would be cared for at a shelter in Abu Dhabi.
Dr. Faiza Ashgar, a Lahore pediatrician, visited the shelter that May. She was engulfed by dozens of boys, most of them Pakistani, some as young as 4.
"They came running and clung on my leg. I never felt such emotion. Everyone is saying, 'Take me with you!' I said, 'I can't take you now, but I will be back in a month.' They wouldn't let me go, the look on their faces was of such despair."
Ashgar was among the few women they had ever seen - most had been living in remote desert camps with men who roused them as early as 3 a.m. to start training. All were small for their age and looked malnourished. Many had scars and signs of broken bones, from beatings or falls, she said.
And "they had very rough hands," Ashgar said. "Very unchildlike hands."
That June, with plane tickets purchased by the UAE government or their Arab "owners," the first group of 22 boys arrived in Lahore. They were followed a month later by 84 more.
Some were so traumatized they remained mute for weeks.
"They have been through very difficult circumstances, and when they came here they were very scared," said Zai Anjum, a doctor at the center. "They have no concept of family. Pakistan was alien to them."
As they slowly opened up, relating what little they remembered, the hunt for their families began.
Newspapers published the boys' names, but they weren't always the ones they had at birth. Some parents no longer recognized children they had last seen as infants. And many poor people who had sold their children for just a few thousand dollars - assured they would have better lives in a rich Arab country - were reluctant to come forward for fear they'd be arrested.
"Families were scared, whether they were willingly or unwillingly involved in trafficking," Ashgar said. "We assured parents the purpose was not to disrupt but to reunite."
Incentives helped. The government offered parents 600 rupees - about $12 - a month as well as scholarships and bicycles. In turn, the parents were required to sign forms that they would not abuse or exploit their children.
DNA testing was needed in some cases, but the vast majority of jockeys eventually went back to their families.
That left just eight - Hassan Ali among them.
A winner beaten
Hassan said he was an only child, that he came from northern Pakistan, that he might have left the country with a man named Mohammed who pretended to be his father.
Beyond that he recalls almost nothing of his early years.
"He told me that when he started to speak properly he was in the camp" in the UAE, said Dr. Naila Tahir, a psychologist. "Children start to speak in full sentences at age 3 or 31/2, so we assume he was 21/2 or 3 when he went."
As he grew, so did his memories.
He lived with four other boys in a single room. To keep their weight down, they ate mostly vegetables and lentil soup. They had no milk and rarely any meat.
For his taleem, or education in camel riding, Hassan had a trainer, also a Pakistani, who slapped him and hit him with a stick if he didn't do exactly as told. When mounted, the tiny jockeys were at least 6 feet off the ground as they sped around a track 5 miles long at speeds approaching 40 mph.
"In the beginning, I was very scared," Hassan said in a soft, shy voice. "After I fell off three or four times, I wasn't afraid any more."
Friday was the major race day, when crowds "were big as a cricket match," he remembers. He won more often than he lost. Sometimes his owner gave him money. But his biggest reward for winning was a full meal.
In July 2005, Hassan was among the second group of jockeys returned to Pakistan. When he arrived at the children's center in Lahore, he had the height and weight of a boy of 9. But doctors concluded he was much older.
"He has facial hair, he has permanent molars, and he has canines," said Dr. Zai Anjum, gently cupping Hassan's face as she examined his mouth. "If the molars are permanent, the person is probably 15."
For months, the staff worried about how weak and thin Hassan was. He coughed so much they twice sent him to a hospital, fearing he had tuberculosis. Tests came back negative, and doctors finally decided he was suffering the lingering effects of malnourishment.
Since then, Hassan has gained nine pounds and grown an inch and a half, to 4 feet, 10 inches. But he probably is as tall as he will ever get, the doctors say.
The jockeys were deprived intellectually, too. Illiterate when he came back to Pakistan, Hassan is now learning to read and write his native Urdu. He has a paperback Koran and spends two hours a day in religious instruction. It is his favorite class.
He is training to be a tailor, a good trade in a country with a huge textile industry. He and other jockeys will also have some savings: Their employers in the UAE were required to pay back wages, which the center is investing for them until they go out on their own.
Chances are Hassan will never again see his parents.
"We advertised in the newspaper, but all his features have changed," said Tahir, the psychologist. "We have no data at all about him or his parents. We don't have a clue."
'Above the law'
Camel tracks in the UAE now use robo-jockeys. Dressed in silks and caps with foot-long whips, they look eerily like small children. Trainers drive alongside the track, activating the whips by remote control.
The trainers say they prefer the robots. But there is concern that young boys are still being used to feed and care for camels in remote camps.
"I'm sure there are still a large number of children over there who are working on the farms," said Ashgar, the pediatrician who helped bring the jockeys home. "They might not be actually sitting on the camels for the racing, but cleaning up."
A total of 603 children have returned to Pakistan, far fewer than the 2,100 originally estimated, Ashgar said. UAE authorities told her some of the boys went to live with relatives in Dubai, where many adult Pakistanis work, and that monitoring of camps and racetracks shows "there are no more children there."
However, Ashgar said, the government has not responded to suggestions that outside organizations check the farms.
"Victims of child camel jockey trafficking may still remain in the UAE," the U.S. State Department said in its 2006 report on international human trafficking. "Questions persist as to the effectiveness of the ban, and the number of victims is still unidentified."
In the Miami lawsuit, Dubai's ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, and others are alleged to have used underage jockeys even after the UAE passed laws in 1992 and 2000 aimed at stopping a "trade in small children that seems unimaginable in the 21st century."
Maktoum and co-defendants "treated their camels better than they treated their slave boys for the simple reason that the camels were far more valuable," the suit alleges. "Camel prices exceeded $1-million, while boys could be had for much, much less. The defendants built hospitals for their camels equipped with operating tables that could accommodate humps. The enslaved boys usually did without medical care."
In addition to hundreds of horses kept on Ocala farms, the lawsuit said, Maktoum's financial empire includes the Hyatt Regency in Jacksonville, other luxury hotels in New York and San Francisco, and control of Dubai Ports World, which made a controversial bid this year to operate the Port of Miami and several other U.S. ports. The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, says the case is being brought in the United States because Maktoum and co-defendants are "above the law" in their own country.
In an effort to reduce child trafficking, Pakistan has passed laws and stepped up surveillance at airports and borders. Some "agents," as the traffickers are known, have been prosecuted.
But as Ashgar looks at Hassan and other former jockeys, wondering who they really are, she says she is angry that they sacrificed so much of their childhoods to such a dangerous sport.
"It was very inhumane," she said. "I wonder if spectators really knew what children were going through. But the people who ought to know can have no excuse."

UC Moving to Collaboration
Judging by our InformationWeek 2012 Unified Communications Survey, vendors looking to sell IT on unified communications systems aren't making as much headway as they'd like. In response, restless marketing executives are tacking on new capabilities and adding modifiers, like "collaboration" and "social business," in an effort to gain traction while simultaneously abandoning the "UC" terminology. Cisco has already purged the term. So what does that mean for enterprise IT teams that just want to get everyone talking?
First, expansionism has been an ongoing trend. From the idea of unified messaging, where a single mailbox would collect all of a user's non-real-time communications, including email, voice mail and fax, UC moved into the realm of real-time communications, providing a dashboard to initiate one-to-one audio and video connections and instant messaging chats. The focus has now expanded further to include collaboration tools for conferencing via audio, video and Web, and desktop sharing to help employees work together more effectively. The next iteration adds a set of social networking capabilities aimed at leveraging a shared knowledge base.
So is all this "UC" or "collaboration" or simply looking at the same capability from two different viewpoints? Certainly users can collaborate, but they are working with those collaboration tools through an integrated desktop client that is, essentially, a UC product. That same integrated UC client is also used to view presence status, initiate text chats and even make phone calls. (S4520212)

text: Thanks for the oil suggestions. I'm definitely willing to try others. They obviously contribute a lot to how things work in my bike too. But I've been running 20-50 oils for years and have had no shifting issues with any of the other 4 bikes in my garage or any before them (except the BMWs). And none of them so obviously wore out an oil in short order. I just don't feel my GPZ's shifting is up to the standards of what Japanese engineers usually release to the market. For that reason, I'm still wondering whether super oils may be a way of covering up an underlying mechanical issue that can be addressed directly? Anybody know any engine builders or race mechanics who have experience rebuilding Kawa 4 cyl motors?

Secret Santas who make sure homeless children have gifts for Christmas are being asked to skip the toy aisles this year.
The YWCA Family Center is so crowded, officials say, there's nary a square foot to store dolls, remote-control cars or — heaven forbid — bicycles. The shelter is instead requesting gift cards in $10 increments so families can do their own shopping, preferably after they move from the shelter to housing.
"It hurt our hearts to make that decision," YWCA spokeswoman Patti O'Toole said.
But the surge in homeless families is driving all sorts of contingency plans. Shelter workers are preparing to house about 50 families in a section of the empty building on Van Buren Drive that is to open next spring as a new shelter for homeless men, women and families. The arrangement, dependent on final approval by city fire inspectors, would create a temporary, dormitory-style area that could be used until renovation work on the West Side building begins.
O'Toole said the system needs less-expensive options for handling the family overflow. The YWCA Family Center, on Harvey Court west of Port Columbus, is designed for 50 families but lately has been serving 130 to 140.
The Community Shelter Board, which allocates money for local homelessness services, has spent thousands of dollars on hotels in recent years to house families when the shelter is full and they'r e waiting to move to an apartment.
"It costs about $80,000 a month to house 50 families in hotels," O'Toole said. "There aren't unlimited pockets of wealth here."
Churches and other religious congregations have been asked to house families overnight for one week each month. And the shelter system already operates a program in which friends or relatives are paid a stipend to allow a homeless family to stay with them instead of in the shelter.
The continued spike — family homelessness is up about 65 percent in the past three years — appears to be continued fallout from the recession, said Sara Loken, a Shelter Board spokeswoman. " People living in poverty are not experiencing the benefits of a recovery yet."
About 25 percent of the homeless families are employed, up from about 22 percent the year before, Loken said. Most, however, don't earn enough to meet their living expenses.
O'Toole said growing numbers have been without shelter at least once before. "Only 69 percent are new to homelessness," she said.
At the Family Center, all available space is spoken for, and portable units are being used to store family belongings. There isn't room to store piles of toys, but the center still will host its usual Christmas festivities, O'Toole said.
Precious Adams came to the Family Center with her young daughter and son. She's 20 and feels a weight beyond her years. "Every day, it's back-to-back families here," Adams said. "I'm trying to find a job. It's hard."

For something more formal, eat at Jimmy's, the recommendation of mountain flying instructor Gary Kraft. Just sit at the bar and the bartender will tell you what all the other crews and helicopter pilots are up to. They give her rides. Put "205 South Mill Street" in your GPS and go into the courtyard, look upstairs to your right, and that's it. Terrific food at a very reasonable price compared to unreasonable prices nearby.
We're not quite done yet. For a terrific breakfast and wildly tasty pastries, go to one of two locations for Frank Thirion French Pastry & Cafe. A French chef runs it! One location is at 317 East Hopkins Avenue, the one I went to by mistake when I was supposed to meet Bruce Gordon and Jane Pargiter of EcoFlight for an interview. It has a television camera linked to the other, and that is how we found each other–they saw me on the monitor at the location in the business park. The other has an address that your GPS will not recognize, so go to the business park near the Aspen airport. You will see it across the road as you leave the airport and head toward town. If you enter the park from that highway, the restaurant will be within sight about 200 feet to your left. The address is 111G AABC, which I know is gibberish. Call them at 970/925-3569 or ask before you leave the airport. It's five minutes away, or just go into town and find the other one.
Reader Michael Baudet adds Hickory House (BBQ) to the list, and it's at the edge of the town closest to the airport. Put 730 W Main St. in the GPS. Thanks Michael.

About the Author: Rick Snelsire serves as Spokesperson at U.S. Embassy Islamabad.
During an interview on Pakistan Radio on August 25, USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah invited people to share the latest information and updates on Pakistan flood recovery efforts by SMS texting the word "FLOODS" to 7111.
"We are pleased that Pakistan has a forum for information sharing that people everywhere can use to engage each other in the flood relief effort," said Dr. Shah. "Information sharing can help connect people to resources to aid in disaster recovery and to engage one another in problem-solving."
People in Pakistan are using the country's active Humari Awaz ("Our Voice") cell phone network to update each other about the latest flood news, valuable NGO grant and business opportunities, and to make new announcements of support by SMS texting the word "FLOODS" to 7111.
The Humari Awazsocial network was launched by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at Government College Lahore during her visit to Pakistan in October 2009. Since its launch, network participants collectively have sent over 350 million messages.
The "FLOODS" Group is available on all of Pakistan's 90 million mobile phone networks and allows users to join in discussion via SMS subscription to send real-time messages to all group partners.
To learn how to use Humari Awaz, mobile users need only SMS the words "HELP" or "MADAD" to 7111.
Ahmad K. in Texas writes:
Any comments from people who use this SMS service?
Tahseen in Pakistan writes:
Its good to help the flooding people.flood has hit most of the parts of sindh province where it would remain 15 days more,more devastation is being expected,but authorities, Pakistan army & international community,all are taking efforts to minimize the devastation & of course the prayers of people of Pakistan & the world community would play the part in this regard,GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP OTHERS.

Mysterious Death at Acupuncture Clinic
Source: http://www.8newsnow.com/story/16902725/mysterious-death-at-acupuncture-clinic-raises-questions
A man collapsed and died Wednesday shortly after receiving an acupuncture procedure. Experts in the field say it likely had nothing to do with the alternative Chinese medicine.
8 News NOW talked to the acupuncturist who treated that man and also to the Nevada Board of Oriental Medicine which says "death by acupuncture" is virtually impossible.
Joon Lee Duk was shocked when his 69-year-old patient collapsed in his waiting room following an acupuncture procedure.
"So I came in here and I did CPR," said Duk, an acupuncturist.
After performing CPR, medics took the man to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"I'm sad, because he's my friend," said Duk.
In his 45 years of practice, Duk has never seen experienced a situation like this. Acupuncture specialist Fiona Kelley explains why.
"There is nothing in acupuncture that can cause death," said Kelly. She is the vice president of the Nevada State Board of Oriental Medicine.
"You're tonifying the chi of the body or you're dispersing a pathogen." She says it is not possible for acupuncture to cause death.
"I actually have been asked in the past if I could help people who had terminal illnesses if I could give them, not sure how to say this, gentle passage. I don't have any tools that can do that. I take out stress all the time, but I don't have anything that can kill anybody," she said.
Kelly adds that Nevada has some of the toughest requirements when it comes to practicing acupuncture.
"You have to be nationally certified and state certified. You cannot practice acupuncture without malpractice insurance as well as a criminal and background check."
The Clark County Coroner's office has yet to determine a cause of death for Duk's client.
"It's every acupuncturist's worst nightmare," Kelly said.
Duk, who has never had a complaint filed against him, remains open for business. Currently, there is no police investigation into the man's death unless the coroner rules it was not by natural causes.

Road preferred
To the Journal editor:
John Scram (asks) why not put it on the railroad? To build a railway to the (Eagle) mine would require crossing the same wetlands and rivers, creeks and ponds.
So a road would still be a better alternative. At least the public could use it for recreation. And what railroad would take it over?

Stay safe in the water
Even though nearly two-thirds of families with small children plan on swimming in areas without lifeguards this summer, many people don't know the right thing to do in water emergencies or how to keep their loved ones safe in the water, according to a new American Red Cross poll.
"People tend to spend more time in and around the water during the summer, so now is a great to review water safety precautions so you know what to do to stay safe," said Patty Flowers, regional chapter executive.
The Red Cross poll found 63 percent of families with children plan on swimming in an area without a lifeguard this summer. However, nearly half of those polled had never taken swimming lessons.
Nearly half of Americans say they have had an experience where they were afraid they would drown, according to the findings. Overall, four in 10 say they know someone who was in danger of drowning, which is an increase of 16 percentage points from a similar 2009 Red Cross survey.
Two thirds of those asked mistakenly believe that putting inflatable arm bands, or "water wings," on children is enough to keep them safe when an adult is not nearby. These are not lifesaving devices, and children and weak/inexperienced swimmers should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets while remaining under constant adult supervision.
The survey findings show that people mistakenly believe some steps such as having a swimming buddy or flotation device will keep them safe. For example, while the Red Cross recommends that people always swim with a buddy in designated swimming areas supervised by lifeguards, buddies alone are not enough to keep swimmers safe.
Another concerning finding in the 2013 Red Cross survey was that most of those polled were unsure of the right steps to take when someone appears to be in distress in the water. More than nine in 10 people were unable to identify the correct order of actions to take to help a swimmer who may be in danger of drowning.
"The correct steps to take when you see a swimmer who needs help is to shout for help, reach or throw the person a rescue or flotation device and tell them to grab it; then call 9-1-1 if needed," Flowers said. "People think that if a person isn't calling out for help that they must be OK. However, they are likely using all their energy to just try to stay above water."
"People think they should enter the water to save someone, but often this endangers the life of the rescuer," she added.
Other signs of a swimmer in trouble include:
– Treading water and waving an arm.
– Doggie paddling with no forward progress.
– Hanging onto a safety line.
– Floating on their back and waving their arms.
– Arms extended side or front, pressing down for support, but making no forward progress.
– Positioned vertically in the water, but not kicking legs.
– Underwater for more than 30 seconds.
– Floating at surface, face-down, for more than 30 seconds.
Red Cross swimming lessons help people develop skills and water safety behaviors that help people be more comfortable and safe when they are in, on and around the water. The Red Cross encourages all household members to enroll in age-appropriate water orientation and Learn-to-Swim programs.

Quick poll, ladies: if you're lucky enough to own an authentic Hermes Birkin, would you ever let it touch the ground? Oliva Palermo's black Birkin looks downright dejected carving a space for itself on the NYC pavement. Shouldn't she just enlist her hot German model boyfriend to stand a respectful 3 paces behind her and act as her official Birkin handler? Shouldn't this bag at least get its own cafe seat? These are the questions that plague us.
Olivia Palermo (who you may know from her 3 season stint on MTV's "The City", or if you're from the city, for her amphibious Upper East Side/Brooklyn socialite lifestyle) and her man Johannes Huebl (who you may know for being stupidly good-looking) were recently spotted noshing pasta at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village, along with Huebl's mother and several friends. We love the chunky knit sweater/pencil leggings/flats look just as much as the next girl, Olivia, but please, more respect for the Birkin!

Kautokeino (Norway) / Nairobi, 26 March 2012 – Mongolia's reindeer herders and their forest homeland are facing unprecedented challenges from unregulated mining, logging, water pollution, climate change and some tourism practices, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The study outlines a number of strategies, including increasing reindeer herd sizes and closer monitoring of land use change, that can support both the herders' ancient culture and the sustainable development of their homeland: the taiga.
Also known as the boreal forests, the taiga is the world's largest biome, forming an almost continuous cover of coniferous forests in subarctic North America and Eurasia.
The UNEP report Changing Taiga: Challenges for Mongolia's Reindeer Herders, is based on field investigations and numerous interviews with members of Mongolia's rural Dukha community – of which only 200 or so members remain.
The report is the result of a direct request to UNEP from Mongolia's Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism to assess the situation of the country's reindeer herders and explore ways to guarantee their future livelihoods, as well as the sustainable management of the taiga ecosystem.
Of particular concern to the herders, finds the UNEP study, is the growth in unregulated, small-scale artisanal mining, which results in deforestation, forest fires, chemical contamination and poisoning of water sources. Reindeer herders have already abandoned some pastures in the western sections of their range because of damage caused by mining for gold, as well as green and white jade.
"The taiga – the Dukha homeland - is a hotspot for biodiversity and is rich in natural resources, but it is also one of the regions of Mongolia which could suffer the greatest impacts of climate change over the coming decades," said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director.
In short, the challenges facing the herders spotlighted in this report are a microcosm of those facing communities large and small across the world – namely how to transition to a sustainable future that generates jobs and livelihoods without pushing past the limits of sustainability", added Mr. Steiner.
According to the study, the transformation of Mongolia to a market economy in the 1990s resulted in eight million livestock being added to Mongolia's pastures, significantly affecting traditional herding practices and the dynamics with the environment.
Erratic weather patterns are also taking their toll. Seven out of the ten most disastrous droughts and extreme winter events (known locally as 'dzuds') recorded since 1940 have occurred since 2000, resulting in widespread livestock deaths.
There are also concerns that current measures to conserve biodiversity within the region, such as the creation of national parks or protected areas, will limit access to pastures and adversely affect herder communities.
Current hunting laws are having a major impact on the food security of the Dukha, as hunting and trapping wild animals have been a traditional way of life for the community.
"As a culture tightly-coupled with the taiga environment, Dukha reindeer husbandry has played a significant role in shaping the environment and conserving the unique biodiversity surrounding them. It is important that any protected area regulations or community partnerships take full account of the Dukha's needs and rights to access to their traditional pasture grounds and migration routes," said Kathrine I. Johnsen, Chief Editor of the report.
Tourism offers both an opportunity and a threat to the Dukha. It provides much needed income and an alternative way to participate in the market economy. But herders have also altered reindeer migration routes to accommodate tourists,, forcing the animals to feed on pastures of poorer quality and thus limiting the ability of herders to increase their herd size.
The main recommendations from the report include:
The report contains striking photographic portraits of the Dukha reindeer herders and their environment, as well as case studies of individual members of the community focusing on tourism, health and hunting issues.
The report, which is part of the UNEP Nomadic Herders initiative, was officially launched during a special 'Ice Cinema' event held in Kautokeino, the heart of reindeer husbandry in northern Norway, as part of the World Indigenous Television Broadcasting Conference.

What if you didn't have to work, you didn't have family responsibilities, everything was just �smooth sailing and you could spend your life trolling whatever course you deem best. �Would you make the pros?
I haven't worked in seven months other than�substitute�teaching when I could get it. �When my teaching job evaporated in budget cuts last year and I couldn't find another one I thought, "I won't have any money, but at least I'll have more time to ride my bike." �Problem was after a spring and summer campaign that saw me putting on more miles then ever before I was burnt out on road biking. �I had all the time in the world to ride, but no desire. �I switched to mountain bikes and inline skating in the fall months and spent less and less time on my road bike.
I spent the entire year logging my rides on Strava and following the pros who also post their rides. �There are many things that separate the common rider such as me and someone who rides their bike for a living. � Genetics and geography are important for sure, but the passion that can fuel countless 500 mile weeks. �Ben King has 15,000 miles for the year on Strava and I know he didn't post everything he rode. �He did a 57 mile ride on Christmas Day! �Talk about someone who loves to ride.
For seven months I've been living the dream, and I found out that my dream wasn't to go ride my bike 7 hours a day.
Now lets compare with my pal Luke, who is training for the 2013 Tour the Divide. �If you haven't heard of Tour the Divide I highly�recommend�you look up the documentary Ride the Divide, its on netflicks. � For most of the year I thought Luke would change his mind about the world's most difficult bike race. � Yes world's most difficult, there is nothing that compares; �current mountain bike stage races aren't even close, and even the Tour de France isn't as long nor does it contain as much climbing.
Luke works 12 hour overnight shifts at a demanding job and yet finds more time to ride than me. � Often I would go ride with him in the morning after he finished his shift and ask that we ride less miles because I was "tired."
Luke has recently been turning his training up to eleven to begin getting ready for the June 8th start date. �He's trying to ride 7 hours a day, he recently rode his bike 35 miles to a mountain bike�trail head�then�proceeded�to ride at the front of a group of awesome�mountain�bike riders.
Luke still has 5 months to get read for the race, Rocky Balboa got ready to fight Apollo Creed in just 5 weeks. �I think he can win it! �I've promised him completely coverage in the blog next June.

By PAUL SWIDER
Published August 16, 2006
John Millns was thinking about remodeling his Odessa home to protect it against hurricanes when he heard the state could offer him money to help pay for the work.
So now he has decided to wait, even if it is the middle of hurricane season.
"If somebody was knocking on my door to do the work now, and I didn't know about the state program, I'd do the work now," said Millns, a dermatologist. "Now, I'm going to wait."
The My Safe Florida Home program opened for business Tuesday, offering matching grants of up to $5,000 to help reinforce homes and free inspections to point out what's needed.
But homeowners like Millns shouldn't expect to get the work done before hurricane season ends Nov. 30.
The program is wildly popular, with 23,000 inquiries since the state put up its Web site in June. But there's likely far more interest than money.
"Before this hurricane season ends, there will be some Floridians that will have inspections and have improvements at least started," said Tami Torres of the Department of Financial Services, which is administering the $250-million the Legislature appropriated over the next three years.
The state hopes to protect 50,000 homes in the next year, but 242,000 qualify just among customers of Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state-run insurer of last resort. Those without homeowners insurance cannot participate.
The money is available only to owners of property with homestead exemptions. Second homes, investment property and commercial property do not quality. Still, there are more than 4-million homestead properties in the state.
The Legislature created the program this year in response to the eight hurricanes that have affected the state in the past two years. "One of the best ways we can limit catastrophic losses is to harden our housing stock," said Senate President Tom Lee, R-Brandon, a homebuilder who was involved in getting the program through the Legislature. "We're moving as fast as we can."
It's a complex process that begins with a state inspection of a home. The program anticipates completing 12,000 inspections this year.
"We'll have to create an army of inspectors," said Leslie Chapman-Henderson, the president and CEO of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, the group charged with creating the inspection part of the program.
The inspections are intended to reveal a home's weaknesses and estimate the cost of improvements. They also will lay out insurance discounts available when people make the repairs.
The state money will cover seven kinds of repairs: strengthening roof decking, improving a roof's waterproofing, strengthening roofing material, bracing gable ends, reinforcing roof-to-wall connections, protecting wall openings like windows and doors, and reinforcing doors, especially garage doors.
While there are many possible retrofits, only some make sense, said Tim Reinhold of the Institute for Business and Home Safety, an insurance industry research group. Covering windows and replacing or reinforcing garage doors make sense, but installing tie-downs after the fact to hold your roof to your walls isn't always worth the money, he said.

Delegator is an abstract class used to build delegator pattern objects from subclasses. Subclasses should redefine _getobj_. For a concrete implementation, see SimpleDelegator.
Pass in the obj to delegate method calls to. All methods supported by obj will be delegated to.
# File delegate.rb, line 123 def initialize(obj) preserved = ::Kernel.public_instance_methods(false) preserved -= ["to_s","to_a","inspect","==","=~","==="] for t in self.class.ancestors preserved |= t.public_instance_methods(false) preserved |= t.private_instance_methods(false) preserved |= t.protected_instance_methods(false) break if t == Delegator end preserved << "singleton_method_added" for method in obj.methods next if preserved.include? method begin eval <<-EOS def self.#{method}(*args, &block) begin __getobj__.__send__(:#{method}, *args, &block) rescue Exception $@.delete_if{|s| /:in `__getobj__'$/ =~ s} #` $@.delete_if{|s| /^\\(eval\\):/ =~ s} Kernel::raise end end EOS rescue SyntaxError raise NameError, "invalid identifier %s" % method, caller(4) end end end
This method must be overridden by subclasses and should return the object method calls are being delegated to.
# File delegate.rb, line 176 def __getobj__ raise NotImplementedError, "need to define `__getobj__'" end
Serialization support for the object returned by _getobj_.

Reinitializes delegation from a serialized object.
# File delegate.rb, line 185 def marshal_load(obj) initialize_methods(obj) __setobj__(obj) end
Handles the magic of delegation through _getobj_.

quote GT40For that reason we use Unigine Heaven 2.1 to gauge the power consumption. So the readings are good.Something is wrong with your power readings for the 590 under load! From what other sites have mentioned the 590 may activationg its power limiter in both Kombuster and Furmark, which will give false readings and make your temp/noise/power readings unrealistic.
Simply put the power/temp/fan noise readings should be done on the games as you benched them, its all to easy to program a driver to fool one application to make it look and sound good.
quotescrew that then. 570s ahoy!As long as you don't plan on tweaking the voltages

Color Club Nouveau Vintage
- by Playing with Polish
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the theme of the year's harvest and being thankful. I also love all of the amazing, yummy food!! Tofurky, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and pumpkin pie under a huge pile of whipped cream…so, so good! I only wish the leftovers had lasted longer! I looked through my untried for something that said "fall" to me, and decided that Color Club's Nouveau Vintage fit the bill. This polish from Color Club's Back to Boho collection is a brown, gold and burgundy shimmery metallic. It's a very rich color. I used my Crayola stencils to add a cute accent using Color Club's Voodoo You Do, Antiquated and Orly's Rock-It. Overall I was pleased with how it came out, and I thought the colors I chose for the hearts brought out the different colors in Nouveau Vintage. I think this coming year I am going to work on getting better at nail art.
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do a special manicure??
Application was very good. Two coats and a top coat shown (the top coat is over the nail stencil layer).

Mr_Jet, on 02 February 2013 - 01:07 PM, said:
You may be right but think about this. If they want to take Millner they wold be using their 1st round pick to do so. So if they trade for Revis and give us that pick, they would be losing their 2nd round pick but instead of getting a player that may or may not turn out to be good, they get one that may or may not be the best CB to ever play the game. If I was in a position to make that choice I would opt for Revis rather than two picks that may or may not pan out. The key is if they have the salary cap space to do so. Oakland would also be a team that may want Millner but not want to use their 3rd pick so this would work for them. Tennessee would also like to have Millner but doesn't figure to see him by the time they draft 10th. Their 1 and 2 would also suffice. We couldn't get Millner but we could get a pretty good CB in round 2 and use our two firsts on Womack and one of the top OLB. Round 2 sees us with 3 picks as stated before. No matter what - it makes sense to either see if Revis wants to work out a cap friendly contract or we should trade him now.

I understand why, but this is too bad. Kenard is one of the all time good guys to play here, and there is no one more friendly or quaotable in the locker room. Lang also busted his ass dropping the weight for said position move, and told me he spent hours every day watching tape of Willie McGinest last off-season.
Dilemma is ... the Browns never saw him as a 3-4 DE, and the move to OLB didn't go smooth. Lang was uanble to pressure the QB from that position, and struggled in coverages. And he's getting a little long in the tooth.
These statements from Savage in this mornings PD and on The OBR seal his fate here.
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/plainde ... xml&coll=2
The first order of business is to part ways with potential free agents, such as receiver Antonio Bryant, linebacker Ben Taylor, tight end Aaron Shea and punter Kyle Richardson, and with converted linebacker Kenard Lang, who is under contract but probably will be released this week.
"Every time we meet, we talk of some of the difficult choices we'll have to make," Savage said Tuesday. "Some of these guys are good guys and pretty good players, but at a certain point, you have to say, 'We think we can do better.'
Q: What are your plans for Kenard Lang?
Savage: Lang really tried to do his best to make the transition. We have talked a lot about him. His situation clearly will be addressed.
