CHAPTER ONE: Born to be a Hero (11)
A vein on Shenon's face pulsated with pure impetuosity. She darted over to her son and firmly latched onto him with as much power as a vise. She wanted to shake him violently until all of that nonsensical babble became so scrambled that it oozed out of his ear holes. Instead of scolding him however, she remarked sternly through gritted teeth, "To your bedroom this instant."
"But Papa didn't finish the-"
"Now!" she snapped.
Grom never had to think twice about obeying commands given to him when Shenon looked as furious as she did now. Rather than make ineffectual protests that would only grant him greater punitive gains, he scurried away on swift legs as soon as he could work himself free from her tight grasp. Once arriving at his bedroom, Grom shut the door a little louder than usual in order to demonstrate his disapproval of such unfair treatment.
"You shouldn't keep treating him like a little boy, Shen, or he'll only resent you for it," Bornen advised from the security of the gaudy chair.
"And you," she retorted sharply as she stomped her way over to the fireplace," this is entirely your fault! Filling Grom's head with all of those bedtime stories and wild fantasies . . . he's far too impressionable for that sort of thing, I think. But I won't tolerate it any longer, not under this roof. From now on you'll refrain from speaking about any delusions of your 'legacy,' because it poisons his mind with silly ideas. Do you hear me? Find some other dwarf to do your adventuring, not my boy." She concluded resolutely, arms akimbo, "Mark my words Bornen Stonefeather, and mark them well; Grom is never, I repeat never, going to be an adventurer!"

This Rice is the queen of pongal.The idea of making this pongal on the first day of Thai month, was to make a sweet first out of the newly harvested rice. Now time has changed. Agriculture is no more the main occupation of many. But we continue to celebrate the function with some raw rice we get in the store.To our future generations we should try to explain the importance of this function to the farmer and the agriculturists
In those days pongal was kept outside the house in the open for sun God. Now in our system of living we can't do that and we have ended up in making pongal in the pressure cooker in our kitchen. Till today, I have managed to make pongal on the pongal day in the pongal panai in the dining room keeping the gas stove down .But in this method there is a risk of pongal getting burnt if we are not careful. So I advice the younger generation to make it in the cooker itself which is a safe and sure method
Raw rice-1 cup
Grated jaggerry-1 cup
Broken green gram-handful (pasiparuppu)
Ghee 3 table spoons
Powdered cardamom-1 teaspoon
Wash the rice and pasiparuppu and cook in the pressure cooker with 3 cups of water in medium fire for 10 minutes. Meantime dissolve the jaggerry in a cup of water in the stove. Strain it using a stainless steel strainer .Keep it back in the stove and bring the mixture to a boil for 2 minutes. After the pressure goes open the cooker. Smash the rice nicely with a flat ladle. Slowly pour the jaggerry water into the cooker mixing well .Switch on the stove now and in low fire mix everything nicely. Switch off the stove in 2 minutes. Remember the pongal will solidify once it cools. If you want you can add little milk also instead of water while cooking rice.
In a small frying pan, in a tablespoon of ghee fry the cashews after breaking it into small pieces in low fire. Add this also into the cooker. Fry the raisins also and along with that ghee add everything into the pongal. Add the cardamom powder and a tablespoon of ghee and mix well. Your pongal is ready .While serving you can use the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee

hi aunty,
ponggal nalvazhtukkal..! this year's ponggal has been quite a challenge as it took us almost an hour plus for it to boil over properly!=(
we used semi skimmed milk as we have been in the last 2 years. Finally we kept adding water and milk alternately towards the end just so that it would boil over!
what could i have done to make the milk boil over quickly and does the starch water help in the boiling process?
Many thanks for your time!

Karthika,nice question.In the early days i too used to suffer to make the pal ponguthal fast.i will tell you the trick now.This year the good time was from 7.30 to 8.30.I started only at 8.I too was little tense because I wanted the paal to pongufy before 8.30.
I never use milk for making pongal on pongal day in pongal panai
Previous day,I will grind pacharisi 1 cup for kolam.
After putting kolam,I will keep that in fridge.
before starting to make pongal wash the rice for ven pongal and sakkarai pongal once.Then wash again with 4 cups of water and keep aside
Mix some kola mavu that is stored into this water.
In pongal panai add just 3 to 4 cups of water and boil.if you use too much water it is going to take much time.If you want to be further fast,half close the panai in the beginning for some time.
when it starts boiling tilt the panai little in the good side ie,kizhakku patha mathiri.Tilting will help the paal to split fast from the paanai.
I hope this trick will help you next time atleast.

Vanakkam Achi,
Very nice recipes, thank you.
I had the best pongal of my life in KKN prepared by our "servant" Lakkuman, who, perhaps because of his poverty, spared no expense to make the best pongal.
I lived also on AR st for parts of 3 years in 1977 and 84 in the house owned by SAA Ramaiah Chettiar which was our ashram. Daily i used to cycle past your house on AR st, past the Ganesha and Naga under that wonderful Neem tree by the tank to the left of Raja's house.
I used to buy my spices from Palani Appa store, and my veggies from the store on the road or at the Santhai.. Daily i used to get milk from the "pal depot" which was simply a middle man in a vacant yard...5 a.m. or it was all gone. .Kanadukathan and Chettinadu was so very quiet then, its hard to imagine hotels and tourists now, but the world has changed as we old people like to point out.
Wonder if you will give recipe for Green gram Payasam?

Sheriff deputies say four suspects are now in custody, accused of assaulting two young Amish men.
19 year old, Chase Kontur, 18 year old, Christopher Barnett and Gerald Wise have all been charged with felonious assault.
The attack happened last week.
Geauga County Sheriff Deputies say the suspects got out of their car wearing masks and beat the Amish with baseball bats.
"The suspects were under the impression the Amish would not report the crimes. I don't know where that comes from, obviously we take reports every day from the Amish." says Sheriff Dan McClelland.
Three male adults and one male juvenile are now behind bars.
More information will be released at a news conference Monday afternoon.

David Hare
The Blue Touch Paper
Saturday 19 September 2015
2.15pm | St Peter's Church | Tickets: £12
Box office: tel 01395 445275 | Festival bookings are now closed
One of Britain's finest dramatists, David Hare has written a wealth of material for theatre, film and television. Seventeen of his twenty-nine plays have premiered at the National Theatre including Plenty, Skylight, The Secret Rapture, Racing Demon, A Map of The World and The Absence of War. His acclaimed screenplays for film and television include The Hours, Damage, Licking Hitler and The Reader. He was knighted in 1998 and has received a multitude of awards including a BAFTA, a Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear, two Laurence Olivier Awards and the PEN Pinter Prize.
We're delighted David is coming to Budleigh to talk about the first volume of his long awaited memoir, The Blue Touch Paper. Chronicling the years 1947 – 1979, The Blue Touch Paper focuses on his childhood in suburban Sussex, his Anglo-Catholic education, his painful apprenticeship as a dramatist and the radical changes he witnessed around him from the hierarchy to Margaret Thatcher coming to power. Written with great insight and humour, it shows how these changes and experiences have shaped and informed his life and work.
David will be in conversation with author and Observer writer Rachel Cooke.

text: I had mad respect for him in Alabama,but what happened?Sure ,he scored 28 Td's and won the rushing title,League MVP,Offensive MVP and alot of awards,but I wanna question his heart. Perhaps he was aware of the fact that he only had 64 rushing yards in the first matchup vs.the skins.Maybe he new he was going to get punished by that Redskins D.I wanna question that hit he took that caused the concussion.People who get concussions don't jump around on the sidelines. Majority of his big runs are because he isn't touched and his speed.Yes,I cannot deny the fact,that numbers don't lie.He is a good back and maybe what I am saying is pointless. If I am not mistaken they did a poll on ESPN(by the players) a few months ago,that rated Alexander the most over-rated backs in the league.Maybe this guy cannont take the big hits and hides his self centerless fear of getting hit.Or,maybe the players around the league no that this guy is soft and doesnt deserve the respect he gets

A late surge lifted the Dow Jones Industrial 118.80 points or 1.2% to 9744.24. The Nasdaq Index, which suffered one of its biggest weekly drops since late September, rose 36.77 points or 2.1% to 1818.88. On the week, the Dow gave up 1.9%, while the Nasdaq dropped 5.4%.
Analysts said investors were encouraged that a 'son of Enron' had not emerged to again hammer confidence in company bookkeeping. 'Every day that goes by without another accounting blow-up, the stronger the market will become,' said one trader.
Leading markets higher were shares previously under a cloud due to accounting concerns or worries over their liquidity. Conglomerate Tyco International continued its climb after executives strove to reassure investors that its accounting was above board. Tyco shares, up 8% on Thursday, rose another $1.80 or 6.4% to $29.85.
Long distance telephone company WorldCom denied it was short of cash and its shares ran up 66 cents or 8.8% to $8.18. Irish pharmaceuticals group Elan, which is being investigated by US authorities over its bookkeeping. Elan shares, already beaten down by rumors that its accounting was suspect, regained $1.18 or 6.1% to $29.85.
Financials which had been marked down on fears over their exposure to companies caught up in what one broker called 'post-Enron conservatism' were also stronger. JP Morgan rebounded $1.05 or 3.5% to $31.12 and Citigroup recovered $1.35 or 3% to $45.49. American Express firmed 85 cents or 2.6% to $33.90.
Techs turned higher late in the day, helped by at least one high profile broker upgrade. Networking computer company Sun Microsystems jumped 53 cents or 6% to $9.75 after it drew a recommendation from Merrill Lynch. Intel tacked on 21 cents or 0.7% to $32.52 and software maker Oracle rose 26 cents or 1.6% to $16.18. Microsoft was marked up 85 cents or 1.4% to $60.65. Networking gear maker Cisco Systems shed 30 cents or 1.8% to $16.76.
AOL Time Warner surged $1.91 or 7.5% to $37.36 as it was disclosed that chairman Stephen Case had recently bought 1m shares on the open market. Honeywell stumbled $1.21 or 3.6% to $32.71 after it lost an asbestos damages court case.
Among Dow components, Alcoa gained 87 cents or 2.6% to $34.42, International Paper added $1.31 or 3.2% to $41.99 and heavy equipment maker Caterpillar climbed $1.07 or 2.3% to $48.50.Reuse content

The Last Man on Earth
A little zombie apocalypse story I wrote once for an english assignement! :) It's only 8 pages (which will translate to about the same amount of chapters I think), but I'm rather proud of it. Enjoy! Warning: It's a bit depressing, if you choose to look at it that way.
Robert had no idea how long he had been following them, or even why. He wondered if he was simply keeping himself busy, distracting himself from the squealing in his ears, the festering wound in his thigh, the cold numbing in his face and fingers, the knowledge that everyone was dead, that he was alone. The two figures trudged a good distance away from him at an agonizingly slow rate, and Robert was afraid they would turn and notice him before he could find a place to rest and hide. Small pieces of debris were scattered everywhere in the area that used to be a cheery shopping plaza, and Robert had to move around them carefully to avoid making noise. His injured leg proved to make this an extremely arduous task; maneuvering around the overturned shopping carts and crashed vehicles stealthily wasn't easy with a bad limp. Not only that, but his thigh was bleeding profusely, leaving a crimson colored trail in the snow behind him. Robert was positive more of these beasts would find the bright red stream and follow it until they got to him. Still, he stalked them. An arbitrary and idiotic choice.
Under Robert's foot a twig snapped, and the sound that would have otherwise been small and unnoticeable on a regular day resounded across the silent parking lot. The two figures paused before slowly turning around to see where the sound had come from. The shorter one seemed to notice Robert first. It looked to be female, and its head was cocked to one side. Dried blood was splattered on its clothes from head to toe and its glazed over eyes stared ominously in Robert's direction. The second seemed to be male and had a much more ghastly appearance than the first. Blood was dripping from either side of its mouth, and unlike the first creature, it looked to be fresh. The wound above its left shoulder it gave the appearance that someone had tried to drive a stake through its heart. That person was no doubt dead now. The daunting appearance of these monsters - these zombies - froze Robert in place. Forcing his legs to move, Robert slowly backed up beside a battered mini van. To his right he spotted a gas station and car dealership. The two zombies were slowly lurching towards him, realizing that they had stumbled upon their next meal. Forgetting about his thigh and the lack of feeling in his limbs (whether from coldness or loss of blood, he wasn't sure), Robert sprinted toward the car dealership. The large glass windows that used to showcase the latest sports cars were broken and shards of glass littered the tile flooring. The store was large, but spacious, and right away Robert could see that the zombies that were no doubt here before had left to find other sources of food. Robert was on the brink of tears; he wanted to jump for joy at the auspicious event of finding somewhere that was, for the moment, un-infested, but at the same time was painfully aware of the streaks of blood along the floor and walls and the moans from the two zombies he had ran from.
He spotted a door open near the back, leading to a stairwell to get to the roof. A bunch of keys dangled from the doorknob where some absentminded employee must have forgotten them, giving him access to the flight of steps. Another lucky chance... soon enough, my luck will have to run out, Robert thought despondently. He grabbed the keys, even though he didn't think the zombies somehow developed the fine motor skills required to unlock and open a door, before venturing in. The door slammed loudly behind him, and he made sure it was closed tightly. Robert had seen all the zombie movies and knew that doors didn't always hold them back, but he needed to rest. His breath was coming out as big clouds in the freezing air, and the incessant buzzing in his ears had gotten worse from his sprint to the car dealership. I'm still alive, though, he thought. That was an accomplishment.

Is Philip Rivers The Best QB Without A Super Bowl Ring?
The last two Super Bowls have featured quarterbacks considered among the league's elite at that position, but still on the fringe as far as career 'greatness' is concerned. Now that both Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers have the title of Super Bowl champion to add to their respective resumes, Chargers' signal caller Philip Rivers has been dubbed the best quarterback without a ring in the NFL.
Fair or not, the overall evaluation of a quarterback's success is inevitably tied to the question of whether or not he has won a championship. The man under center is arguably the most heavily glorified yet scrutinized position on the field. Like it or not, the quarterback is often given too much credit when teams win and conversely burdened with an excess of blame when things don't go so well.
For Rivers and the Chargers, both his statistical accomplishments and win/loss record since taking over the starting gig in 2006 are commendable. Unfortunately that huge 'but' still resides out there when it comes to his record in the postseason at 3-4 while the team missed the playoffs altogether in 2010.
Rivers and the Bolts may have an impressive 55-25 mark over the course of the past five regular seasons with him under center, but both he and the team have to be feeling the pressure to obtain their ultimate goal sooner rather than later. Gaudy statistics such as Rivers' 135 touchdowns during those previous five campaigns mean very little when the team's postseason win total has decreased in each of the last four years.
Plenty of players around the league play with an attitude and bring a heightened intensity to the table when it comes to game time, but very few quarterbacks possess that dynamic. Rivers has often been labeled as an edgy character with a tremendous amount of bravado and plenty to chat about with opponents during games, but his teammates have always had his back as a leader in the locker room.
If his teammates back him up as an emotional guy who plays with his heart on his sleeve then you have to take their word for it, but the question remains whether or not this feisty demeanor is a good or bad thing. Rivers has often been shown yelling at opponents, officials, and even teammates at times, but these types of altercations are a normal thing in the NFL world.
Perhaps the questioning of Rivers' ability to get his team to that next level comes in part due to the fact that he is the only remaining member from that infamous 2004 draft class left without at least one ring. The Eli Manning saga played out well for San Diego ultimately giving them a motivated Rivers and some additional picks as well, but Manning has already won a title with the New York Giants. Ben Roethlisberger was taken just outside of the top ten in that draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and despite his off-field issues has taken his club to three Super Bowl appearances and won twice before the age of 29.
Staring 30 in the face, Rivers isn't exactly on borrowed time as far as his biological quarterbacking clock is concerned, but the pressure to win a ring with the offensive weapons around him has to be mounting. Tight end Antonio Gates has had a spectacular career to this point, but he will be 31 this summer and has already battled a number of injury issues during his time in a Bolts uniform. It is expected that the Chargers will franchise tag wide receiver Vincent Jackson for the 2011 season, but that will put all of the emphasis on this year and winning now before he likely departs via free agency.
There are still plenty of seasons for Rivers to overcome these hurdles and win that elusive ring, but the comparisons to Dan Marino's quick release could quickly turn to the former Dolphins' ring-less finger. Having had a future Hall of Fame running back behind him when his tenure as the starter began in LaDainian Tomlinson, Rivers has already enjoyed more of a balanced offensive attack than Marino ever had in Miami.
Leadership certainly isn't an issue with Rivers and neither is the ability to handle big moments as he so aptly illustrated during his time at North Carolina State where he played in five bowl games winning the MVP award in every one of them.
As fans we are always so quick to place monstrous expectations on certain teams or players, but it seems like these aspirations for Rivers and the Bolts are more than reasonable. Chargers fans have to hope that this recent trend of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks getting the proverbial monkey off of their backs continues with Rivers and the Chargers in the upcoming football season.
Now let's hear from you. How much blame for the Chargers recent decline in postseason prowess do you place on the shoulders of Rivers? Is the fiery behavior from Rivers out on the field a detriment or a benefit? Comparing the quarterback class of 2004 as of right now, which quarterback has had the best career? Is the Chargers' championship window closing with the inevitable aging of superstars and free agency losses or does the team still have what it takes to win for years to come? Are the comparisons of Rivers to Marino way out of bounds or are the frightening similarities too glaring to ignore? Please give your input in the comments section below!

Rivers is a great QB and seemingly a really good human being which ultimately matters more than a ring. But yes I hope he does not suffer the same fate as Dan Fouts. a great QB but
I agree!

Location description from owner
The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region
In the summer you will have the opportunity to go caving, climbing, quad biking, white water rafting, lake swimming, hot air ballooning, paintballing, paragliding as well as do via ferrata (climbing mountains with handrails, steps and footbridges).
There are 650 km of mountain bike trails across the Portes du Soleil, there are 14 stations connected in July-August by 24 ski lifts accessible to mountain bikers.
The area features 10 descent tracks, boarder cross, trial circuits, NEW for 2012, Pump Track (a field of bumps and bank turns)….. the mountain bikers paradise!
During summer there are over 200 km of sign-posted footpaths through the stunning surrounding countryside, which, if desired will take you all the way to the mountain tops. These paths explore the Vallee d'Aulps and offer you the ability to discover the different villages, lakes, mountains tops and rich alpine fauna and flora.
In both the winter and the summer, Le Grande Terche and St Jean d'Aulps offers a nice liveliness, and the events program is available each week at the Tourist Office.
During the winter, the village offers 34 km of downhill ski slopes around the wonderful Roc d'Enfer with beautiful views of Lake Geneva, "The Dents du Midi" and the Mont-Blanc range.
Saint Jean d'Aulps village and resort, offers skiers the magnificent ski area named 'La Grande Terche' which has splendid scenery and panoramic views. The beautiful village is a convivial resort where you can also practice snowshoe trekking, paragliding and sledging. Saint Jean d'Aulps also benefits with a free ski bus link towards the other ski resorts of the Portes du Soleil. The Portes du Soleil region consists of 650km of pistes spread over two countries (France and Switzerland) accessed by 12 stations including Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz.
La Grande Terche
The apartment is situated in La Grande Terche a quaint little village above St Jean d'Aulps, which is a 10 minute drive from Morzine. It is a 2 minute walk from the gondola 'La Grande Terche'. The immediate area has various ski hire shops, Sherpa supermarket, ski school, pub, two restaurants and a take away. La Grande Terche is part of the Portes du Soleil ski domain but is not linked, there is an excellent free bus service available but we would recommend a hire car for flexibility.
Avalanche is a good restaurant serving a good selection of French food and steak. Auberge de la Terche offers superb traditional French food such as fondue and raclette plus an extensive pizza menu in a traditional rustic atmosphere. The food here is highly recommended. There is also a good take away place offering burgers and pizza.
St Jean d'Aulps is a couple of minutes down the road, it has some lovely French restaurants plus an excellent British run restaurant (Petite Coq) serving a wide variety of food. There is also a pub, tabac, post office, pharmacy, supermarket, gift shop, ski hire, patisserie and laundrette.
The Discovery Centre - An old monastic farm which was witness to 700 years of monastic life is now a museum which explains in an enjoyable way the everyday life of the monks and their functions in the community as well as the surprising story behind the abbey and the secret healing properties of medicinal plants used by the monks. The abbey still has its superb 13th century façade.

"Excellent location and cosy fun apartment"
A pleasant tidy apartment with lots of room for a family of four, my boys loved the bunk beds with the curtain den and the Wii console made their day. Comfortable double bed and lots of kitchen helpful utensils for self catering purposes. The views are beautiful and the local village had some great bars and amenities. The local area is stunning and we had a fantastic stay here in St Jean Aulps with Montroid lake close by and Morzine. We will be booking again.
"Excellent stay in a great apartment"
Three of us stayed in the apartment and found it a great, and good base for our ski holiday. Well located in Le Grand Terche, just a few hundred yards from the ski lift in the village. Larger ski areas such as Les Getz, Morzine and Ardent (and more) are just a short 15mins drive. Booking the apartment was easy - Elizabeth (owner) and Regis (agent in the village) were very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will look to return in the future, and the apartment was excellent value for money.
"Nice place..."
We had a great trip to L'Ourson we lucked out with the weather and the skiing conditions where amazing. L'Ourson is a great base we where 4 lads St Jean itself is small with a nice pub and a really nice restaurant. Bills serve the best pizza I have ever had! The apartment is a 10 min drive from Ardent or Morzine where you have incredible access to the whole portes du soleil area. The apartment itself is small but incredibly well appointed, warm and comfortable. The views from the balcony are incredible. Thank you Liz we may well be in touch again next year. Matt, Gary, Dave and Ian.
"great holiday and conditions were perfect."
Just arived back from a week staying at your chalet. We had a lovely time and the amount of snow was perfect, it was very cold-20 but skiing was brill.The chalet was spot on I would say it would be very cramped for 6 but was a perfect size for 4 adults. We found the main room was quite chilly at nights due to temperatures and the seal around the balcony door let in a lot of cold air.The hot water was aproblem as well as after a hard day on the slopes only 2 of us could get a shower as there was never enough for all 3 of us, which again would be a problem if there was more or children staying. Also the lift wasnt working while we were there, so that was a bit of a pain, walking up 6 flights after a day on the slopes.However all in all the chalet was ideal for what we wanted, very clean and tidy, everything there that we needed, comfortable beds, good crochery etc and plenty of storage area for boots etc we would recommend it to family and friends without a doubt.Many Thanks mark and Margaret Lawson
"Great location"
We really enjoyed the skiing in St Jean d'Alps. The apartment had everything we needed and within 5 mins walk of the telecabine. The ski area was less crowded than major resort Morzine. Good ski equipment hire available at Muffat sports. Personally I think it would be pretty cramped with 6. But for a couple or 4 people it would be great. In the ski season it is easy to get to resorts of Morzine, Les Gets etc via the local bus service.
"A Great Base for Skiing the Porte du Soleil"
Clean, warm and comfortable, this apartment is just what you need for your ski base in this area. Situated on the slopes of St Jean-d'Aulps, access to the Roc d'Enfer ski area is an easy walk. You really need a car to access the rest of the extensive Porte du Soleil (although there is a bus service), but we found it straightforward to do so and had no problems with parking (free). The apartment is very well equipped and we even managed to cook and sit down to a full traditional Christmas lunch.
"This place was amazing!"
The apartment was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed - a balcony with fabulous views of the valley, a small kitchen with pots, pans, plates, two tv's, a big selection of DVD's, a Wii with many games, and lots of storage space. The area was full of outdoor activities - hiking, paragliding, chair lift rides, zip lines, luge runs, mountain biking, etc. The location was pretty central - an hour from Geneva, 2 hours from Montreaux, and 2 hours from the Mont Blanc tunnel. We had a great time!

1. Thanks Brilliantstore
By robert coburn from Nebraska on Apr 29, 2011
Couldn"t be happier. They not only have a customer in me but I am recommending them to my companies purchasing dept. Also, thanks brilliantstore.com for having a review forum that consumers can look at ahead of time to keep them from being a victim of shady on-line predators.
2. Flaw but Good Store
By DONALD from Florida on Jul 22, 2010
Brilliant Store is a good merchant; unfortunately, The part number is for 3 or 4 different batteries. I'm pleased with dealing with this company but am unhappy that I had to pay for shipping to return an earlier product which was defective when I received it. Real pain in the butt and it's not your fault, that there are so many different batteries for the laptops. I have spent more time trying figuring out if I was buying the right battery. The old battery wasn't much help and it was a good thing I still had the original shipping materials. But this store company was quick/good/accurate and has a very nice deal. I am very happy with this transaction and look forward to doing business here again. By the by, I'll need coupons or free shipping.
3. Fast Shipping and Good Service
By Elizabeth from Massachusetts on Apr 4, 2009
I can't believe how quickly it arrived with just their "regular" shipping. The service was excellent. Received the items really fast, in fact I was going to cancel part of the order. I didn't expect it so soon, so I decided to keep it all. As it offers great solution even for someone like me in Montreal Canada ... Brilliantstore.com ROCKS !!!
4. Pretty nice merchant for computer and electronics
By Michael from Arizona on May 17, 2008
Overall, this website has been a pretty nice merchant for computer and electronics merchandise. They usually have the best prices, the reviews are helpful, and the shipping speed is quick. That's totally what a customer wants from a seller.

Expiration Date:?Aug 2017Expiration 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.

Very crunchy and thin crisp cookies!

Very crunchy and thin crisp cookies!
The cookies are very good made mostly with organic and natural ingredients, but little too sweet. They are very thin and crispy type cookies of very cute animal shapes just like ones on the package, it will be great for kids and health conscious adults! I was worried the cookies will be all broken into pieces like some reviewer stated but almost all of them kept original animal shapes and not broken into pieces. I think iHerb improved packaging, it was well packed with extra air packing materials. I will repeat order and highly recommend!

i've ordered this cookies on jan 2016 and when I receive it I found the "best by" date was on 27 may 2015. I don't like the taste nor the smell but I don't know if it is will be good when used before 27 may 2015 or not. but i will not try it again because the customer services don't care about my complaint.
Too good!

Why Do I?
This is a way for me to let out the last 11 years and how i feel, and what a ride those years have been.
Why do I stay alive, is it because there is still some hope that there is still something in this world for me. Or is it the hope that things cannot possible get any worse.
Every night I pray that I will not wake up and every day after school I mentally kick my self for all the things that I have not done or that I should have done. For the 11 years that I have been at school 3 of the 4 closest friends have move schools or turned their back on me, and the forth I question why I still call them only a friend. My fear of the unknown has meant that I have pushed them to a distance which I can not recover from. For fear of making things a whole lot worse. If not for my self then for them.
Most of the time I question why I even have any friends as they always disappear or end up hating me. I wish that school would just hurry up and end so that I can just disappear and never return. Forget all of the issues of it and start fresh in a new and hopefully much better society.
People judge, because they are human, they will never understand because they do not know or because they do not want to understand. When you go to school for 11 years and the only thing that ever happens to you is to be hated and to be ignored, and yet miraculously everyone is your friend when technology fails, and to be thought of as one of them (a machine, a part of technology, emotionless), you begin to think that this is the expected normal of society, and that this is the normal for every one.
I would like to believe that I am not alone. But in this world were society hates, and the media sets the fire. I question who my friends are and why I am still alive. I question if anyone would ever care if I just disappeared.
I question why I have friends and who I can trust. I still listen to people but they will never listen to me. I will always help were possible, but when the times comes can I trust them not to turn their backs on me and to help me.
My fear of the unknown has also meant that I cannot push friendships as I do not believe that what I would want would ever occur. I am the hated emotionless person that wishes that I reset and try again. I am the one that gets blamed even if I have no involvement or was not present during any negative event, I am the one that gets forgotten for helping.

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
Beginning with the chapters on warfare in the first three volumes of the New Cambridge Modern History, Sir John Hale's writings on the subject present an original and rich assessment of war's place in Renaissance life and thought. The first section of this collection constitutes a major contribution to the study of Renaissance fortifications, their design, planning and execution, and their political as well as their military significance. The second deals with the recruitment and training of officers and men. In the third, contemporary reactions to war are analysed in a variety of social and intellectual contexts. The archival and literary sources drawn on are primarily Italian, in the second place English, but the imaginative scene is that of western Europe as a whole.
