Expiration Date:?Jul 2019Expiration 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:?1.95 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.

The Product is very good and one of the view available chewing gums without any artificial sweetener like the poisonous aspartame, please try to persuade the producer to stop using the ingridient titanium dioxide for the whithening...and I would be 100% satisfied. I'm very happy with the perfect and fast service from this shop iherb. I'm living in Switzerland and the package arrived just 3 days after my order at my doorstep - perfect.
It was great until they started adding titanium dioxide to it.
Verified Purchase
It was great until they started adding titanium dioxide to it.
I've just returned my latest order of Spry gum due to the fact that XClear have unfortunately started adding titanium dioxide to it. This is a whitening agent with at best uncertain health effects. Quite a disappointing decision from the manufacturer - the lack of titanium dioxide in the original formulation was one of the key factors in my using it in the first place. Given how frequently one consumes gum like this I personally don't want any dubious additives in it. Switching to Peelu.
Big Container UPGRADE :)
Posted by mirindalikethedrink on Sep 23, 2016
Big fan of this stuff in our house...used to buy the small containers...have upgraded to the large containers of Xlear Spry Chewing Gum!
Great Product
Posted by 4673783161675395721 on Mar 05, 2015
Tastes very refreshing and has no artificial sweeteners like most chewing gums. The benefit is that it cleans your teeth as well so great to take to work when you don't always have a toothbrush handy!
Nice tasting, minty gum

Tulip time
On Earth Day, students at Dunkirk's School 4 were reminded of their drug free promise. Last October during Red Ribbon Week, the students, with the help of Tom Tarnowski, planted the red tulip bulbs to promise to be drug free. At the time, their principal, Kimberlee Texter, told the students the flowers would remind them of their promise each year. Pictured left to right: first-grade students Donavan Thompson, Avery Lanning, and Matthew Helwig with Maintenance Mechanic Tom Tarnowski.

If you're 70 or older, lucid and literate, there's an (unpaid) job for you in Portland editing the autobiographical stories of a 79-year-old "geezer." Why the age requirement?
. . . I advertised before, received 117 responses. . .and NONE were sufficiently conversant with the English language to achieve an acceptable level of editing. It appears that a preponderance of younger people have not been taught correct grammar and satisfactory writing skills.
In addition to "possessing intimate knowledge and understanding of correct composition, grammar and punctuation," he's looking for someone who will work for satisfaction rather than money.
Why should those young punks learn to punctuate if there's no money in it?
The ad was highlighted by Jim Romenesko, who also spotted Chicago Craigslist ad seeking a ghostwriter:
I would like to write a book, but find myself without the time or expertise to write it.
Age isn't mentioned. (Neither is pay.) The successful applicant "must possess various abilities, powerful writing skills, knack for putting ideas together, experiences and information into words and can write about any topic."

A new trend among pet owners is being scoffed at by some and praised by others - pet massages. Many dog parents are taking their furry friends to professional masseurs for treatment, but some may be wondering if this is just an expensive form of good old petting, according to The New York Times.
One advocate of pooch massages is Renee Lane, owner of a toy poodle named Grace. She claims that her dog "absolutely loves it - she turns into a puddle. I want to keep her around as long as I can, and I think it's going to keep her healthy. She helps reduce my stress, so why shouldn't I reciprocate?"
Lane isn't alone in her belief that the massages are good for pet health. Other pet parents claim that the rub downs aid digestion, immunity, relaxation and increase circulation. However, the news source states that veterinarians are unsure whether these claims hold water.
Whether or not pet parents bring their pooch to a professional masseur, it appears that petting your dog can help them relax. According to The Daily Mail, pet owners themselves are likely to feel more calm after petting their canine companions.

My feet are shuffling
The clouds roll in, the wind at my neck

My knees are quivering
The cliff's edge so inviting, yeah
The lightning hits my chest
But the shock is so routine for me these days
You stand up and I bow
Right on, right now
I'm always hoping for some enjoyment from disappointment
I can feel the misery from some place deep inside of me

Gift helps jump-start a local business
The success of small businesses is critical to the economic prosperity of not only our region and state, but to the whole nation.
Turning an innovative entrepreneurial idea into a thriving enterprise can be a challenging undertaking. Not having the financing to get started often halts or delays the launch of a new business.
With that in mind, Paresh Bhatt, owner and general manager of Comfort Inn of Fort Dodge, donated the funding through his Gift from India Fund, administered by the Fort Dodge Community Foundation and United Way, for the North Central Iowa Open For Business $10,000 challenge award. The goal of this project is to help turn worthy business concepts into realities.
Earlier this year applications for the initial award of this startup grant were sought. Lisa Shimkat and the staff at the North Central Iowa Small Business Development Center assisted with this process.
Wednesday, it was announced that Playdate, a proposed family recreation center featuring soft contained play structures, slides and imagination-inspiring play areas for children ages 6 months old to 12 years old, which will be owned and operated by Cody and Rose Davie, is the first recipient of this award.
The Messenger congratulates the winner. We look forward to this venture becoming a successful part of the local economic landscape.
Bhatt knows firsthand the importance of a hand up in making a new business prosper.
"I have always felt blessed," Bhatt, who came to the United States from his native Gujarat, India, in 1990, told The Messenger earlier this year. "I come from a middle-class background. Many times people have great ideas or they want to work hard to achieve their goals but lack funding. I have been there."
Bhatt has become a highly respected part of the business community in his adopted nation and hometown. His commitment to helping others follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps is an inspiring example for others. This newspaper is proud to have Bhatt as part of the community it serves.

St. Cloud State's top conference for personal growth and leadership development returns to Atwood Memorial Center with an expanded array of workshops, speakers, discussions, career opportunities, social gatherings and entertainment. View the conference schedule. View the conference program (PDF).
Also presenting are:
- Waziyatawin Angela Wilson, author and academic and Minnesotan of Dakota ancestry
- Becky Martinez, independent consultant and trainer specializing in social justice and inclusion issues

- Ariel Luckey, an acclaimed poet, actor and playwright whose work dances in the crossroads of education, art and activism

View biographies of each presenter. Learn more about Milem's five hours of free diversity training.
This year's Power in Diversity Leadership Conference carries the theme "Change--It starts with me!"
West has been calling for change for decades, focusing primarily on problems of race, class and gender.
The 58-year-old public intellectual has called economic inequality in America "morally obscene."
"Poor people are priceless and precious," West said at a Jan. 12 poverty forum broadcast from Washington D.C. "Each person has a dignity that ought to be affirmed."
His 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28 Ritsche Auditorium presentation, titled "Race and Democracy in the Age of Obama," is included in the conference registration fee. People not participating in the conference may purchase $5 tickets at the door or online at scsutickets.com. Admission is free, with a valid SCSU ID, for university students and employees. Ritsche seats 904.
National television appearances and two books -- the best-selling "Race Matters" (1993) and "Democracy Matters" (2004) -- have made West nearly a household name. His upcoming book, a collaboration with broadcaster and commentator Tavis Smiley, is called "The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto."
A Princeton University professor, a Christian and a persistent critic of President Obama, West has been described as a socialist.
In September, West aligned himself with the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying on the Democracy Now! radio program: "We're talking about a democratic awakening...you're talking about raising political consciousness so it spills over all parts of the country, so people can begin to see what's going on through a set of different lens, and then you begin to highlight what the more detailed demands would be."
Variety Show
The Variety Show is for individuals who would like to dance, sing or rap, play instruments, freestyle or showcase a talent that may focus on cultural issues, diversity, empowerment, self-expression and unity among different cultural environments.
Emceeing the show will be C. Willi Myles, a nationally known comedian who attending St. Cloud State.

A popular feature of the conference is the Diversity Job and Internship Fair featuring some of Minnesota's largest employers. This year's fair is set for Jan. 27.
Organizers expect more than 300 students, faculty, staff and advisors to attend from colleges and universities around the region.

Sounds good.Also, you might want to work on your forming technique. Generally speaking, you don't want to start dough in the air nor do you ever want to pull dough away from the center. Start the dough on the bench.When I start my dough by poking my fingers into it, I actually like to leave a little mound in the center so that when I start draping it over my knuckles, the center doesn't thin out quite so much.

In your heart, you earnestly desire to talk about Christ with your relatives, neighbors and friends. But you're uncertain of what to say or how to say it.
Many Christians are not confident of their ability to share the gospel because they're unsure of what constitutes effective evangelism.
In this resourceful study of Acts 5:12—6:7, John MacArthur highlights five progressive keys to effective evangelism—the very guidelines that helped ignite church growth of the apostolic era.

Law of the Land can be changed
To the editor:
"Obamacare is the law of the land!" If I had a nickel for every time I've heard a liberal repeat that mantra in the past two weeks, I'd have $3.40 by now. It has become the standard catch phrase for anyone who wants to see the Affordable Care Act be fully implemented and integrated into our economic system.
Technically speaking, they are right. Obamacare is the law of the land. It has been passed by Congress, signed into law by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. So it is law, whether we like it or not.
But when liberals say that Obamacare is the law of the land, there is more to their message than the mere fact that it was legally enacted and is now part of our legal code. When they say, "Obamacare is the law of the land," they are using that message as a propaganda tool. They are using a statement that is technically true to support an idea that is completely false.
Their objective, at this point in the public debate, is to convince Americans that Obamacare is permanent, that it is written in stone, that there is no such thing as turning back the clock or reconsidering it. According to liberals, we are stuck with Obamacare, so we might as well just learn to live with it and start pouring our personal and national resources into making it work. After all, "it's the law of the land."
But we all know that isn't true. Remember Prohibition? Prohibition was once the law of the land, even more so than Obamacare. Prohibition wasn't just passed into law by one Congress; it was actually made a part of our Constitution. But Prohibition didn't work, and it soon became evident that the people didn't want it. The people made their feelings known, and Prohibition was repealed.
Is Obamacare permanent? Not if the people raise their voices and insist on having it repealed. Yes, it is the law of the land. But for how long?

Air Methods to Use Bell 407s for Haiti Medical Service
Haiti Air Ambulance Service has reached an agreement with Air Methods covering helicopter EMS in the Republic of Haiti. Denver-based Air Methods will supply a pair of Bell 407s, three pilots and two mechanics for the operation, which will initially fly during the daytime only for inter-facility hospital transports. As the country's infrastructure develops, the companies anticipate expansion to include responding to accident scenes. Starting in first quarter 2014, the helicopters will begin services from a base in Port-au-Prince.

I stopped reading Jeff Rich's piece http://www.theclevelandfan.com/clevelan ... een-caught when I read the line "Sure, I remember Braylon Edwards dropping the ball plenty, but either memory doesn't serve properly or there was never any single drop that quite blatantly cost the Browns a game." That's the kind of revisionist shit that pisses me off. Braylon's drops were the main reason the Browns lost at least 5 games in '08. I understand the point that you're trying to make, but you don't need to twist facts to get there. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you truly forgot.
Am I wrong in feeling that the Browns drops this year pale in comparison to Braylon's '08?

Get to know the locals at Lilla Torg (small square) in Malmö.
Lilla Torg (small square) is where the locals come to eat, drink, shop and basically hang out.
This cobblestone square was built in 1592 and many of the buildings date from this time. Now resplendent after restoration, they form a colourful background to this charming square that between March and October is packed with open-air eateries. Saluhallen, on the square, is a covered market offering global cuisine – Malmö is a city of 164 nations and 100 languages after all - and this is deliciously reflected in the myriad restaurants and cafes here.
Hedmanska Gården is an enclosed courtyard on Lilla Torg. Its oldest building is 16th century and the most recent addition is a warehouse from the 19th century. This building is now the Form/Design Centre, which mounts design and architecture exhibitions and hosts open-air concerts in July.

An independent analyst has confirmed that Nvidia Corp., a leading supplier of graphics and multimedia chips, has shipped hundreds of thousands Fermi-generation graphics processors. According to Jon Peddie, the head of Jon Peddie Research, Nvidia so far has shipped 400 thousand Fermi-generation chips.
"My estimate is Nvidia has shipped over 400 thousand [Fermi processors] as Tesla and Gefore units. The shipment numbers 'to date'. Nvidia shipped a lot to OEMs, loads of Tesla versions since the announcement in Boston in March," said Jon Peddie in a conversation with X-bit labs.
Earlier high-ranking Nvidia executives said that the company had shipped hundreds of thousands Fermi-class graphics processors. At present those chips are all based on the code-named GF100 (NV60, GT300) design, which is so complex that many analyst estimated that the yields of such chips was between 20% and 30%. Nvidia claims that its yields were higher than expected.
"Yields of our high-end, Fermi-based GPUs were much higher than expected, leading to good availability of our new GeForce GTX 480 and 470 GPUs and Tesla high-performance computing products," said David White, chief financial officer of Nvidia, during the latest quarterly conference call with analysts.
Analyst Jon Peddie claims that the problems with yields are over for Nvidia. It has to be noted that in order to achieve those yields, Nvidia had to cut down the number of GF100's stream processors from 512 to 480 on GeForce GTX 480 graphics board and to 448 on GeForce GTX 470 and Tesla C2050 add-in-cards.
"I think most of Nvidia's problems are behind and they are back on track. You will see a whole slew of derivative products in the next few months," said Mr. Peddie.
Even though Nvidia celebrates the vast amount of Fermi-class graphics chips shipped, many questions regarding business side of the achievement remain. The GF100 – in both GeForce and Tesla versions – is by any definition a premium product, which drives up revenues, profits and margins. Nevertheless, it does not look that Fermi was actually a breakthrough for the company's business.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011 Nvidia posted 2% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth as well as 0.9% gross margin growth. The company recorded net income of $137.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the Q1 FY2011, compared to $131.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the Q4 FY2010. The company indicated that during the first quarter if fiscal 2011 the GPU business was flat, Quadro business was on the rise (there are no Fermi-based Quadro at the moment) and Tesla business achieved record revenue.
As it can be observed, despite of shipping around 400 thousand premium GF100 graphics processors, the company did not see any tangible improvements either in profitability or margins. Obviously, Nvidia is losing chipset market share rapidly and throughout the whole Q1 FY2011 it probably has been losing share on the market of discrete graphics processors. As a result, the GF100 chip as well as increasing sales of high-margin Nvidia Quadro solutions helped Nvidia to offset declines in the core-logic and GPU businesses in terms of revenue, however, it does not look like the company managed to earn a lot more than in the previous quarter.

Patrick Bittner, chef de cuisine at the Français at Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof, successfully performs the balancing act of delighting his traditional clientele as well as catering for increasingly ambitious food lovers.
When Patrick Bittner, who also competes in triathlons, was awarded his first Michelin star in 2009, he began to really swim free – making his classic French cuisine more individual and more expressive. Bittner gives his dishes a lighter feel by integrating fresh accents that run through his menus like an idée fixe. The quality of the pâtisserie has also seen a meteoric rise. Its creations for the dessert course are often groundbreaking and bring out the best in regional produce, as anyone who tries the splendid variation on apples from the Schneider fruit farm will agree.
Bittner's exceptional goose liver interpretations are always served as terrines with a uniquely layered robe in a surprising but logical context. One masterpiece is his textured variation on elderberry, yoghurt and green pepper, which neither overwhelms nor oversweetens the goose liver but gives it backbone with a fine sweet-sour structure. Bittner's signatures invariably include sophisticated imperial caviar dishes in an exciting, innovative context, currently for instance Caesar breakfast with quail egg and beef tea,which makes a magnificent setting for the caviar. Impeccable service under Nils Blümke and a terrific wine list complete the experience.

Paris Hilton,the best scent ever. Used it throughout college & a recent job interview,and not only did I get the job,but it was perfect for other occasions as well. You may not like her as a person but you have to admit that she's really given her all in her fragrance line,and I personally give her credit for that. Well done,Paris. Hope to try the others soon.
Written by Justine on June 19, 2014
I love this perfume. I'm glad to find it here with great pricing. I'd say this is a very sexy powerful scent make a statement with this. I was in the post office and another lady stop and commented at how good I smelled.
Written by Anonymous on June 07, 2014
While I am not crazy about Paris Hilton the person, I LOVE Paris Hilton the fragrance. It is sweet and fruity - not too strong - but lasts all day. It smells clean and young. The bottle is nothing special but it's shape travels well. You'll love it!

TRACK: Busy Day: Knights, Eagles, Wolverines excel at Kane Invitational; Warren places high at Hermitage
KANE – Conditions weren't ideal, but the weather didn't stop athletes from Eisenhower, Sheffield and Youngsville from posting personal and school records at Saturday afternoon's Kane Invitational.
The Eisenhower boys had the best showing in the team standings, finishing seventh out of 17 teams with an overall score of 31 points. The Knights were anchored by solid performances from a pair of seniors, Jake VanHouten and Matt Eernisse. VanHouten placed second in the 300 hurdles with a time of 42.79 before switching gears for a third-place finish in the triple jump.
"As coaches, we're still scratching our heads about what to do with Jake VanHouten," said Eisenhower coach David Bauer. "He probably could have placed in the long jump, but he's been through so many events. We need to find better ways to use him because he has the ability to do a number of things."
Eernisse finished in a tie for second with Iroquois' Alex Williams in the boys' 200-meter dash with a time of 24.30, and picked up a fifth-place finish in the 400 at 54.41. VanHouten and Eernisse then teamed up with Andrew Onoratti and Anthony Amroski for a third-place finish in the 4×400 relay with a time of 3:42.53.
"Matt Eernisse continues to come along quickly," said Bauer. "He's such a quiet, unassuming athlete, but on the track he's really proven himself."
The Youngsville Eagles were able to take home points in all three boys' throwing events thanks to sophomores Mitch Wilcox and Austin Mechling. Wilcox's throw of 166'10" was good for second place in the javelin, and his 39'9.25″ mark earned him a fourth-place finish in the shot put. Mechling posted a fourth-place finish of his own in the discus with a throw of 166'10".
"Mitch had a big day in the javelin. That throw was a personal best for him, and he also had a personal best in the shot put," said Eagles boys coach Jeff Manelick. "Austin's throw wasn't near his best, but it was a rough day across the board in discus."
Mike Hamrick finished fourth for the Eagles in the triple jump, coming just short of VanHouten's mark with a distance of 39′ 5″.
"Mike didn't have his personal-best but it was still a pretty solid jump," said Manelick. "Andy Lalwani had his season best time in the hurdles, Andrew Tyres had a season best (in the 100 meter and 200 meter), and Thomas Chapman improved his time in the 300 hurdles by about three seconds."
Dylan Reynolds posted Sheffield's best finish, coming in fifth place in the long jump at 18'6″.
It was a record-breaking day for the Wolverines on the girls side, as sophomore Jen Isenberg cemented her place in school history with a 113'5″ throw in the javelin. Her performance was good enough for third overall and six team points for the Sheffield girls.
The Eisenhower girls had strong showings from a number of runners, including sophomore Julia Bauer, who notched a third-place finish in the 1600 with a time of 5:59.54.
"She had some very good times for just the second meet of the year," said Eisenhower girls coach Mike Logue. "With the conditions as poor as they were, we still had some good performances."
One of those performances came from two-sport athlete Emily McJunkin, who took home a fifth-place finish for the Knights in the high jump with a height of 4'6″.
"She could easily have placed higher but she was very tired. She pitched in four softball games earlier in the week," added Logue.
Kelly Lindstrom came in fifth for the Youngsville girls in the 400 with a time of 1:06.90, and sixth in the 800 at 2:40.81. Piper Olsen added a fifth place finish of her own in the 1600, and Mallory Eastman finished sixth for the Eagles in the 100 meter hurdles. Eastman also missed placing in the 300 hurdles by three-hundredths of a second, and Olsen just missed in the 3200 with a seventh. Katelyn Hall was seventh in the javelin.
"For as nasty of a day it was, they all went after it," said Youngsville girls coach John Victor. "They figured it was going to bother some, but it wasn't going to bother them."

Warren track at Hickory
HERMITAGE – Warren's boys and girls track teams continue to excel, as the Dragon boys tied for third out of 24 teams and Lady Dragons finished seventh out of 21, at the Hermitage Track and Field Invitational on Saturday at Hickory High School.
The Dragons earned a couple first-place finishes, including the 4X400 relay team of Luke Wortman, Caleb Hultman, Ryan Shattuck and Jordan Willetts by over three seconds, in 3:32.80. Wortman and Willetts finished 1-2 in the 400 in 52.35 and 52.73 seconds, respectively.
"Overall, we were very pleased," said Warren boys coach Steve Norris. "Two good runs in the 400 with Willetts and Wortman and, of course, it was nice to repeat in the 4-by-4, knocking a couple seconds off of our best time there. We are asking Ryan (Shattuck) to step up and he's doing well for not having run for us last year.
"If we'd have taken our 4-by-800 team, we may have finished in sole possession of third, but there's always ifs," said Norris. "We were just really pleased with the team."
Willetts was fourth in the 100 at 11.69 seconds, Hultman fourth in the 800 at 2:00.91, Justin Wright eighth in the 110 hurdles at 45.80, and Mark Davis eighth in the high jump at 5-10 and triple jump at 39-0 1/2 and fourth in the long jump at 19-7 1/2. Chris McNeal and Austin Jerman led Warren's throwers. McNeal was fourth in the shot put at 45-2 1/2 and Jerman fourth in the javelin at 164-8.
Warren's 4X100 girls relay team also finished first. Brooke Armanini, Amy Castagnino, Casey Kulka and Sabrina Anderson won in 53.50 over host Hickory.
"I'm very happy with how we're doing," said Warren girls coach Mark Sweet. "We're at such a grind in our season, with meets three days a week for two straight weeks. I'm being very cautious. Our times and distances – nothing was really stellar… For every school, it was just a rough day (weather-wise).
"That said, our 4X100 relay did just outstanding," said Sweet.
In addition: Kulka was fourth in the 100 at 13.63 seconds; Valerie Latimer seventh in the 400 at 1:05.57; Ellis Beardsley fifth in the 800 at 5:38.97; Anderson sixth in the 100 hurdles at 17.58 and third in high jump at 5-2 and; McKenzie Merenick was seventh in the triple jump at 31-5. The 3200 relay team of Paige Rimer, Beardsley, Anna Falvo and Sydney Paris finished second.
The Hickory boys and Grove City girls won team titles.

To the editor:
Before anyone jumps to pointing all fingers at the Catholic Church for claims of sexual abuse, do your research. There is abuse in every faith practice out there.
I am a victim of abuse and want to publicly praise the Catholic Church for its awesome prayers and support they have shared with me. My abuser is a Lutheran, and when I went public with my abuse, I was asked to leave the Lutheran church for "stirring up trouble."
Sexual abusers are in every culture, race, religious order, country, etc… not just in the Catholic Church. These abusers need great prayer, as only in rare instances can they be healed in gaining control of their sickness. Because the Lutheran church asked me to leave and seal my lips, my abuser is still a free man, capable of adding more victims to his list. No amount of money can give a victim back what he or she has lost, but prayer and God's amazing love can bless a victim with a new life, free from the bondages of being a victim of sexual abuse.
