Expiration Date:?Jun 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.
Shipping Weight:?2.01 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.

My husband decided to use these as an afternoon snack before his bike ride home...The flavor is okay, very firm and chewy. I prefer their chocolate covered greens bar.
Not crunchy, but sweet

Not crunchy, but sweet
Peanut flavour is noticeable, but not strong. Texture was like plasticine, rather than crunchy, but delicious. Sweetness, even 1/2 bar at a time, was hard on blood sugar control levels for someone with Type II diabetes.
Not a IHERB fan
Posted by 5708552109164570407 on Dec 12, 2015
I ordered 3 products from IHERB and got at extra cost on the double of the cost so I returned it. Apparently that dosen't mean you get your money back as they promise cause the company they use just takes the cost of the product. So I have send a lot of money on absolutely NOTHING.
Not so yummy, but your body will love it.

Def one of the healthiest protein bars out there, but shouldn't be that pricey.
Posted by Reviewer3277359 on Oct 05, 2012
nice way to add to your daily protein intake . taste is not bad all . natural peanut butter is a good choice . will order again . thanks iherb for your great services . keep it up .
Great bar, but disappointed
Posted by Reviewer2468512 on Apr 12, 2012
18g protein is not bad. The bar taste just OK, but I expected better. Very strong taste of peanutbutter and you have youre teeth full of proteinbar after eating it. Dry and hard, almost like a rock if you leave it in the fridge! Greens Plus Krisp is a better choice IMO.
Love it!

Great ingredients, except for soy, tastes great, will order again.

Sheriff's office flooded with pistol permits
MAYVILLE – The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office is being bombarded with pistol permit requests.
So much so, part-time help may be brought in to handle the additional workload, Chautauqua County Undersheriff Charles Holder told the legislature's Public Safety Committee on Wednesday.
In a five-day span, well more than 150 pistol permit applications have been requested – the direct result of New York's sweeping gun-control legislation, Holder said.
The uncertainty surrounding the comprehensive and controversial bill is also causing a flood of calls to local police agencies.
"The Sheriff's Office has been overrun with requests," Holder said, pointing out that the county has seen its pistol permit request rate rise over the last few years, but nothing compared to this week.
"We're way behind where we'd like to be," the undersheriff said. "We like to process these permits and get them out to people who deserve them. We're just behind."
Those calling the Sheriff's Office are requesting information regarding the state's new gun law, which among other things, will require an updated permit every five years through the State Police. Exact details regarding the requirements, however, remain murky at best.
"Right now we really don't know what the law really means," Holder said. "We haven't dissected it enough, and we haven't seen what it means to us and our agencies."
With a wave of pistol permit requests, which usually take the Sheriff's Office two to three months to process, additional manpower will most likely be sought. Holder would not comment how far behind his office is with the permits.
Other costs associated with updating firearm information every five years in accordance with the law also remain a mystery at this time. "I hope it's not going to mean a lot of unfunded mandates," Holder said.
County legislator John Hemmer, R-Westfield, questioned how much revenue the Sheriff's Office receives through the permits. Holder said state and local governments set the rates, ultimately giving the county around $30 to $40 per permit after other fees are disbursed.
Holder on Wednesday also discussed Tannerite, the material used to create an exploding target when shot with a rifle.
A 20-year-old male on Sunday admitted to shooting 18 pounds of the product, sending a thundering sound wave throughout southern Chautauqua County.
Residents as far away as Pennsylvania heard the blast, many of whom took to social networking sites to describe what they heard.
Sheriff Joe Gerace said this week he would look into a countywide ban of the material. No discussion took place in front of the Public Safety Committee, but Holder reaffirmed action must be taken.
It probably takes an incident like this to show why a local law needs to be enacted," Holder told reporters.

quote Crusad3rI agree, they could have just discussed this at work with colleagues rather than put it on something like FB. What gets put on the internet is there forever, unless we get hit by a solarflare but ah well....This is rather disappointing to see from game developers. Stress/frustration or not, such things are much better left unsaid.
Though I'd rather people do air their dirty laundry for my amusement
quote tekmosisQFT on every aspect. Hellgate was a good game with lots of potential but like I said used a terrible business model which caused Flagship to go under. Oh well, I have Guild Wars 2 to keep me busy and eventually Torchlight 2 will accompany it. I shall try out the World of Warcraft Diablo Edition's prestige mode (taken from CoD) out but since they haven't touched the RNG and cooldowns I'm 99% sure this new patch will not help the game out all that much. It might add 5 more minutes of replayabilityBANDITO ATTACK, I had a lot more fun with Hellgate than I did with D3 (unfortunately). Brevik was being very civil in his responses to try and not to spark controversy, just speaking his mind. This is the dude the created the first two Diablo games and made the series so popular, which is why D3 sold so many games, because of the huge D1/2 fan base.
Hellgate failed because EA pushed it out the door a few months earlier than it should have. The game had potential, and when I went to London a few months ago, in a couple places I was like "Hey, I remember this place from Hellgate". But, the game was the precursor to Torchlight.
quote BANDITO ATTACKLOL. He makes top notch ARPGs, I'm guessing you never played Hellgate. It was pretty decent and had tons of potential but the business model they used caused the game and company in general to fail. Isn't he working on Torchlight 2? If so it would make sense as the first one is very good and very much like Diablo 2. He knows what makes a good ARPG while the clowns at Blizzard don't.dude helped make two good games ten years ago, and has since made two failed ARPGs and a bankrupt development studio. he criticizes blizzard's design choices while clearly his own aren't treating him too good either.
blizzard are dumb-asses for saying this shit publicly, but i agree -- *bleep* that guy. pot calling the kettle black.

Victory! U-M Ends Cruel Cat Labs!
|Sister72 | cc by 2.0
After more than a year of campaigning by PETA and supporters—and a day after the release of a shocking PETA exposé—the University of Michigan (U-M) announced that it has ended the use of cats in its Survival Flight intubation training laboratory.
More than 100,000 people—including Michigan natives Iggy Pop and Lily Tomlin—called on U-M to replace crude and cruel live-animal laboratories with more humane and effective human simulators, which are already used for other U-M courses. The U-M student group Michigan Animal Rights Society led demonstrations in support of the effort, the student assembly passed a resolution urging the school to end the laboratories, and the student newspaper editorial board came out in favor of replacing animals with simulators. PETA supporters even jammed university circuit boards with phone calls to protest the Survival Flight animal laboratories.
U-M says that it still plans to harm and kill pigs to teach other skills in the Survival Flight training course, and PETA will continue to push the school to replace all animal use with simulators that are already available on campus.
Of course, this victory would not have been possible without the help of our supporters. Help us keep up the momentum by clicking here to urge St. Louis Children's Hospital to join U-M and nearly every other facility in the country by replacing the use of animals with simulators for intubation training.

quando nos passaremos a respeitar a vida animal?????????????????? somemte quando fizermos isso poderemos ser chamados de racionais e inteligentes
well that's is good news for the cats. Let's hope they extend this good deed to all animal experiments now.
Well the victory for the cats; now help the pigs. GO PETA!!!! Vincenzo Italia
As I was giving my cat one of her many hugs & looks of appreciation yesterday, little did I know that today I'd be reading such good news about my alma mater. I'm glad U of Mich finally lived up to their oft-proclaimed "Champions of the West," by stopping the mindless cruelty….now on to save the hapless pigs still in their labs. Thank you PETA.
Finally animals are recovering their revenge!!
Thank God these animals are free. It is unbearable to think of the horrific life these innocent creatures have had to endure.
People that do these horrific things to animals are mentally ill. STOP THIS NOW!!!!! Animals are so magnificent, we are lucky to have them.
Animal testing is still in use not because useful and valid but just because of the opposite: it's to please the big Pharma to get off the hook when they are taken to court. It doesn't matter the extension of the blunder they have made, if they can prove that on some species, even a moschito, that drug was safe, then they don't pay. Big Pharma doesn't want us healthy. If we were they would be out of business, wake up. Vivisection is a 17th century method with an approximate validity of around 33% (i.e. throwing a coin in the air has more chances to be right). Who would like to be cured with 17th century medicine? As far as the statement that animals do not suffer Mr Anonymous (you didn't even give your name! that says something)you should just be ashamed to be such a liar. That says it all about you. They don't suffer and they are killed humanely and also kept humanely right? Which planet do you come from? Shame on you.
Thanks for saving the cats…now we have to join forces to save the pigs. Does the university think it's ok to test on pigs because they aren't fluffy and cuddly. All animals have feelings and emotions and experience fear.
Thanks for saving the cats…now we have to join forces to save the pigs. Does the university think it's ok to test on pigs because they aren't fluffy and cuddly. All animals have feelings and emotions and experience fear.
The treatment of cats or any animal is disgusting not only in our country but all countries. Animals are little people with feelings and even if they are killed for food, they need to be treated or killed with respect and humanely. I still can't believe how humans can treat animals so poorly and inhumanely. We should be ashamed of ourselves. More people need to go to jail for how they treat animals. Please help us to all learn how animals should be treated and make the public aware of what they can do to help.Thanks Sue
I am so happy that this went through. However as I am against cruel testing on the innocent I do agree with some of you, because in order to find out things something has to be used. My option is to use sadistic monsters for research as they are just taking up much needed space. Sadly though I don't see that happening. 🙁 All I can say is; " In all the progress we make, we should never forget all the lives we take. "
My prayer for all the abused, tortured, exploited and murdered animals Compassion is the source of happiness in life….Without loving kindness and compassion, there is no peace or happiness in the family, the society, the country, or the world. 'With the Medicine Buddha mantra you can liberate numberless sentient beings from oceans of suffering and bring them to enlightenment.' – Lama Zopa. Tayata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha BeKanze Radza Samudgate Soha – Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Bravo PETA. But the question arises as to why the law allowed U-M to abuse animals, and, apparently, will be allowed to continue to do so. All this reflects very badly on humanity. Anyone who's ever had an endoscopy without anaesthetic will realize just how painful have a tube shoved down you throat is; or doesn't it matter if it's happening to someone or something else?
I say to all those who think it is ok to abuse animals for testing- Why don't YOU volunteer to be a test dummy?
I love animals, Please stop all animal killings!!
I am against all forms of animal testing for the purpose of developing new drugs, proceedures, cosmetics and what nots.I sign petitions and try to avoid products that have been tested on animals as best I can. But as a health care professional I handle and distribute drugs everyday that exist because of animal testing. These drugs save lives and increase the quality of life for millions of humans everyday. But we have other and better methods now that don`t involve animal testing. Testing on animals has to stop!!!We know better! Drug companies make a lot of money when they develope new drugs. Animal testing is a cheap method and the animals are voiceless. It`s all about the money and profit-once again!!!! PETA and its members are the voices of the innocent and voiceless. Support PETA-they do a job!!!!
There is no need to test on animals. I disagree with the Anonymous comment below justifying animal testing for the sake of OTC drugs and cancer treatments etc… There has been great leaps and bounds in the medical field due to animal testing – but it is not right. Animals are not ours to test on. They cannot agree to it. We are their stewards and shepherds since they cannot speak up for themselves. Ghandi said it best: "I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
Dear Anonymous. Please research before making such pathetic comments. If you have a look you will see that experiments on non human animals rarely translate once they go to human trials. Society says we should 'experiment' on these poor creatures because they are NOT human That is why the results are so often misleading. Every week I read that some vivisectionist's horrible experiment was successful on a non human animal model. Then it goes to human trials never too be heard of again.
To be honest I LOVE what PETA is doing. No animal should have to go through pain just for a humans needs. Animals have different DNA than humans so why test on animals. When i'm in pain i don't take medicine depending on the pain im in because of animal research. All an animal wants is to roam freely and be loved for who they are!! :'(
I love animals, but some of PETAs campaigns are extremely misinformed. Things like this one are ok, but seriously, being completely 100% against animal testing is hypocritical. How many of you would have cancer treatment if you needed it? How many of you take pain medication when you're in pain? How many of you would go on antidepressants if you were suicidal? How many of you expect your doctors to be properly trained and your medications and surgical procedures to be safe and used/performed correctly? If you were exposed to HIV through no fault of your own, how many of you would want to be cured or at least improve your chances of not contracting the disease? I will bet everyone can say yes to at least one of these things….and now also think how this applies to every person you love and care about. Animal testing is the closest thing we have to testing on people, and after rat/animal studies, the next step is human clinical trials. If you are going to refuse all forms of medical treatment for your family than by all means be against animal testing. But otherwise, if you want safe medication and procedures and to cure diseases, it's a fact of life that needs to be accepted. There are more humane ways to test on animals so they are not in pain, and to ensure they are euthenaised humanely as well. But completely stopping animal testing? We might as well shut down all hospitals now.
Just wondering…is PETA going to pay for the human simulators?
Yay i loveee animals. i dont see a reason to use animals. its cruel and souless.
Please have someone check all the UM's for animal cruelty:UM- Flint, Western Mich. U., Central Mich. U, etc. Thank you very much. "Home for the Holidays" please.
Killing the poor pigs is still bad. Please stop all animal killings.
I never used to go on peta.com Because you guys are agaisnt circuses and i work in one…But ANIMAL TESTING is NOT ok. Im So happy for this to be over! Congrats!
There is no need to use any animals for these experiments. Pigs do not deserve this cruelty, either.
Congratulations to PETA and the University of Michigan for the cooperative effort to end the use of cats in experiments. It's "one step at a time – or one creature at a time." Nice to see this change."
Ja to prostě nechápu láme mi to srdce jenom to vidím nebo čtu
I can't imagine someone abusing my cat in such a horrific way it breaks my heart.
Great news!! Still a lot of work yet to do. But we will get there!
What a disgrace that a University tortures animals as a teaching aid. Yet again how do the students there participate in this cruelty. They should use the human simulators and stop mailing and killing innocent animals. Thankfully poor cats won't be used anymore but what about the poor pigs. It is a disgrace and the students should be ashamed of themselves for partaking in this torture. University of Michigan you should be prosecuted for animal cruelty!!
Thank you Peta – you are great! I drink a toast this night to you and all the saved cats – in company of my two lovely cats!
Always great to read about a victory. And I agree, there's no need to use animals at all! Together we can make a difference, we just gonna keep pledging . 😉
Por fin una buena noticia para los animales domésticos. mi corazón baila de alegría.
I like the cats and i have one. Please dont make cruelty with them.
The human trash that profit from the suffering of animals do not deserve the air they breath. They are a plague that Mother Nature must eradicate. I pray she rids earth of the human plague swiftly.
And lets hope others will follow suit, not just in the USA but around the world this kind of abuse is not justified for medical science it is purely for abusing and torturing innocent animals
Another wonderful victory for the animals thanks to PETA and friends! Please help them in their fight against cruelty and greed in all its forms. Let's march onward in helping to save the innocent, helpless pigs and other animals who are still facing torture and death at the hands of these souless people.
So much for being educated and having a conscience..
Replace ALL animal use with simulators that are available on campus!!
I hope that victory can be given once and for all and forever in all the places they conduct experiments and animal testing
Please stop using cruel methods of training on animals. Every creature on earth has a right to a life worth living, and no animal should be in captivity. This is almost 2012, why are you so backward in this matter? Or are you receiving massive grants, and would prefer to torture animals to carry on receiving them. If this is so, then shame on you.

Mike Shiflet's a busy man, but mostly by necessity. He once said in an interview that he's not comfortable unless he's overwhelmed. Aside from his full-time job, Shiflet has plenty to overwhelm him these days. When he's not working with Two Dollar Radio, the Clintonville-based alternative book publisher, he's usually recording, writing or playing his own music or Asurya's, the noise drone band that's playing Friday at Kobo. When he's not doing all that, he likes to run long distances (like ultramarathon long). These are a few of his favorite things.
Everton FC
I got into soccer about a decade ago and slowly got into the Premier League. I wanted to pick a team that reflected what I see in Ohio sports teams: Working class nature, but at the same time I didn't want to root for a perpetual loser, the way Ohio sports teams tend to be. I was also looking for a team that wasn't a mega club, but still had a chance to do something impressive. Eventually I settled on Everton because they fit the bill to a 'T' and at the time they had Americans Landon Donovan and Tim Howard on the squad.
Wrekmeister Harmonies
They put out my favorite album of last year, You've Always Meant So Much to Me. It's just an amazing piece of music. The album is one 38-minute piece. It starts with some drone and some bass notes and slowly evolves to the 22-minute mark, where it becomes this full-on metal blast. It's really overwhelming and goes on for 10 minutes and then goes back to its initial state. It's got this dual nature to it because if you're focusing and paying attention, it reveals itself in really beautiful ways; there's harmonium and strings and electronics on top of each other that you might not pick out if you're casually listening. But when you are casually listening, you catch this big reveal of this band coming out of nowhere. I find that equally rewarding.
It's a website run by Dr. Michael Greger. He's a cool personality; his videos are hilarious. I like the website for two reasons: The first is that they show a lot of hidden benefits of natural foods and, alternatively, they kind of take down sort of industry-sponsored studies that tell you you don't need to eat natural foods. For me, everything started with running. I was a junk food vegetarian and I had already been running, but was starting to take it more seriously when I read "Born to Run." About a year after reading "Born to Run," a guy featured in it, Scott Jurek, came out with a book called "Eat & Run." Along with Scott, I started finding more vegan athletes and through all of them became more aware of these nutrition resources.

I got my first Orange amp last year on Craigslist after trying a couple brands of amplifiers and not being satisfied. There was a guy selling an entry model. I bought it and was immediately floored by it. In the past year I've since upgraded it to a bigger model in that line and also bought a bigger 100-watt Orange amp. I now have two amplifiers and three cabinets that I've splurged on in the last year. The sound is amazing. They're typically used by stoner rock sludge bands, but the sound is really vintage '70s guitar tone. I like playing it at experimental music shows. It's not a place you'd normally see them. I like bringing that tone into this other world in which I perform.
Cornelius Cardew's treatise
Treatise is one of the most popular graphic scores, which is a kind of invention of 20th Century composers in which you don't have typical music notation. It can be any sort of visual representation to inform the music. So you might just have everything from traditional sheet music with scribbles to a print-out of a couple circles. A graphic score can be anything. The treatise is one of the most popular. It's 193 pages long; it's a series of lines and shapes that kind of flow from one into the next, and there are no instructions whatsoever on how to perform or read it. That's what I like most about it. The only real instruction is you can't just make it up as you go along. It doesn't matter what any of the shapes represent, but they have to represent something. You have to decide what they mean to you and interpret that in your playing. That's what appeals to me most. I've performed it — never the whole thing though. People have performed the whole thing, but it isn't doing the treatise justice. I've performed segments a handful of times. It's always different and I usually try to pick a few out.

The sd.rb podcast has a decent episode on it. I recommend watching that.
One is to keep it from hitting the database and slowing your tests down. A more important reason to mock or stub is to decouple portions of your examples. So, in Rails, you don't need to test AR to test that a controller is behaving correctly. Or, going to my example before, you can specify a method that behaves differently depending on whether the user is logged in by stubbing the authenticated? method to return exactly what moves the controller to handle that case.

Alpena Farmers Market moving indoors
Today marks the final day of holding the Alpena Farmers Market outdoors at its usual location.
As of this Saturday, the popular market is moving inside to the Alpena Mall for the season. Hours of operation will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays only until May, when it goes back to its original, outdoor location.
"The enthusiasm and growth for the summer market has been awesome, and we are going to continue that into the Alpena Mall," said organizer J.B. Cook. "We have many more vendors committed for the winter after seeing the success of the winter market last year."
According to Cook, vendors have grown extra crops that can be harvested into late fall, and they are putting away produce into their root cellars to sell throughout the winter. Just like last year, fresh baked goods, mushrooms, and arts and crafts will be offered. Additionally, the Thunder Bay Ramblers will play live in the new space.
The Friends of the Alpena Farmers Market greenhouse project is also now operational and the greenhouse is full of lettuce, leeks, green onions, carrots and bok choy that can be harvested through the end of December.
This greenhouse was built as a model and educational tool to show local farmers how to grow produce year-round in a northern climate. These "cold houses" combine new technology and specialized new cultivars with cold frame farming techniques once used in Europe to harvest produce locally though the cold winter months.
Dr. Henry Stibitz and Betsy Hale will be giving a tour of the greenhouse on Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. It is located on the Alpena Community College campus across from the APlex parking lot on Woodward Avenue.
The Friends of the Alpena Farmers Market booth will also be in the mall raising money for market activities and helping to promote a healthier, self-sustaining Alpena with its educational events. The first events will be a series of holiday demonstrations. With help from Maple Ridge Supply, the group will be teaching people how to make their own Christmas bows, wreaths and kissing balls.
Other upcoming events will include cooking demonstrations, gardening techniques and more. These will be scheduled throughout the winter and spring.
The next meeting for the friends group is Nov. 13 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the APlex downstairs conference room.

The corps' growing fuel burden is not just a budget-buster but a threat to Marines.explosive device. Seventy percent of the logistics required to sustain Marine Corps expeditionary forces onshore is for fuel and water. An infantry company (125-150 Marines) today uses more fuel than an infantry battalion (900-1,000 Marines) did in 2001. In Afghanistan, the corps has spent $794 million in one year for the fuel used by Marines deployed at some 300 sites. According to Major Brandon Newell, Technology Lead for the Marines' Expeditionary Energy Office, approximately 60 percent of that fuel is burned to provide climate control for Marines and their equipment.
With an electricity-generating backpack, a Marine would produce up to 35 watts while walking.reduction in weight, 10-percent reduction in size, and 10 percent more energy harvested. The GREENS 2.0 prototype, outfitted with glass-free solar panels from SBM Solar and frames made by Composite Technology Development (CTD), already weighs 45 percent less than its predecessor, according to Newell. I watched as CTD's Robert Taylor broke down the unit. He rolled the pliable plastic frame legs into a tight bundle, which he placed, along with the folding solar panels, into a long, thin box.
U.S. Army installations are participating in a pilot program in which each would produce as much energy as it consumes.said, it would consume 4.5 kilowatts. Instead, the five compressors that sent cold water to 10 vests set up at tables inside the tent consumed just 1.2 kilowatts. Outside the tent, it was 85 degrees; inside, it felt even warmer. I sat down at one of the tables and strapped on a vest, which contained tubes that cycle chilled water. Newell turned on the flow of water. Within moments, a soothing chill cooled my chest and back.

When brides-to-be are planning their look for their wedding, an important component of their overall appearance will be their bridal makeup. And, even for women who have decided on a natural look, there are still things to keep in mind.
To ensure you look your best, Brides.com recommends paying close attention to your skin in the weeks approaching the wedding.
It's a good idea to clean skin before bedtime, removing all traces or dirt and makeup before hitting the sack for the night, the news source suggests.
When deciding on colors and products, it's important to choose a timeless and flattering style that won't appear dated in the coming years - remember, your wedding pictures will last forever!
Next, it may be advisable to focus on choosing long-lasting products that won't need to be reapplied as the day goes on.
Tubing mascara, which is an acrylic-based product that forms a seal around lashes, is ideal for brides. It's water-resistant (in case of tears!), and won't smear, clump or smudge. The product is often recommended by makeup artists, which means its perfect for your big day.ADNFCR-3356-ID-19855186-ADNFCR

Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada's Immigration System Act
Government Orders
10:40 a.m.
Jean-François Larose Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, once again, I see the government lacking vision and even effort.
Being a father myself, I do not understand what I am supposed to tell my son when I see this happen. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is supposed to be for everybody in this land. Yet, again, with a lack of effort, the legislation that is being brought forward is very broad and does not attach itself to specifics. There is exclusion.
The roots of this country have touched the soil of every nation on the planet and everyone should be welcome here. We should not be resorting to repression. The charter is far-reaching, and we send our military around the world to say that this charter must exist. We encourage democracy and yet, here at home, we are starting to exclude people.
Perhaps the hon. member has a comment to add about this.

Philip Toone Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member.
The rights bestowed on us by the Canadian charter are clearly rights that we value. They are upheld by the Supreme Court and they belong to us all. We cannot deny the rights of refugees just because we think that we will control smugglers by targeting refugees. That is backwards. It is the opposite of what we should be doing.
To get to the root of Canada's smuggling problem, we need to target smugglers. The bill before us does not seem to do that. Instead, it targets refugees who already bear a heavy burden. Constitutional rights exist in Canada. I have a hard time seeing how the bill before us today could do anything to help control smuggling, which is a real problem. If the government wants to table a bill that actually deals with smugglers, I am completely open to discussing it. However, the fact that we are talking about targeting refugees is something quite surprising and, I feel, something that goes against our international law agreements.
Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada's Immigration System Act
Government Orders
10:40 a.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I feel compelled to rise and speak to Bill C-4 because we need evidence-based solutions to address human smuggling. Unfortunately, this backward legislation targets legitimate refugee claimants and not the real criminals: human smugglers.
It was 60 years ago that the government expressed its solidarity with refugees by signing the 1951 refugee convention, and 2011 is a special commemorative year. The UN refugee agency is calling on the public to reaffirm its support for refugees. It is calling on governments to show humanity and respect for human rights and refugee rights.
The UN has developed the "1 is too many" campaign to strengthen global protection in this anniversary year. The "1 is too many" campaign concentrates on the central tag line: one refugee without hope is too many.
There is a portfolio of other tag lines such as: one family forced to flee is too many; one refugee without hope is too many; one refugee returned to danger is too many; one refugee longing for home is too many; one child without a nationality is too many; one family without shelter is too many; one refugee denied a safe haven is too many; one child growing up in a camp is too many; one family torn apart by war is too many; one girl raped at gun point is too many; and it goes on.
As legislators we must all ask ourselves, if our family was in danger, our lives threatened by the government that is supposed to protect us, what would we do and how would we want the world to respond?
Each one of us should remember how many of us are children or descendants of immigrants. Each one of us should consider the economic, cultural and social benefits Canada has gained by accepting immigrants and refugees to our country. We must all remember our long-standing dedication to humanitarian values and human rights.
Instead of the government reaffirming Canada's commitment to protect refugees in this anniversary year, the government is fearmongering, demonizing, and punishing refugees through its treatment of asylum seekers and through its proposed legislation.
I have the honour of representing Etobicoke North, which is one of the most diverse ridings in the country. Each week we hear from desperate families, such as: a sister trying to bring family from Africa because her brother is hiding in a bush afraid of political persecution; an uncle giving up his job and leaving family in Toronto to rescue three orphan nieces in India.
During the humanitarian disaster in Sri Lanka, I heard daily from my Tamil community. One man came into my constituency office and wrote down the names of 100 family members who were missing and he did not know whether they were alive or dead. Each weekend during the humanitarian crisis I met with my Tamil community for four months.
Bill C-4 was originally introduced in Parliament by the government in October 2010 as Bill C-49 and it was reintroduced in June 2011 in the new parliamentary session. If the bill is approved by Parliament, it will make significant changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, affecting the way refugee claimants are treated in Canada.
The government claims that the bill is about stopping smugglers who are bringing people illegally into Canada. However, the bill focuses on punishing the people they are smuggling, including refugees who need to get to Canada to save their lives.
All of Canada's laws must respect the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees basic rights. Several aspects of Bill C-4 likely do not respect the charter. For example, Bill C-4 says that designated persons are detained for one year without review.
The Supreme Court of Canada has recently clearly stated that detention without review for long periods is contrary to the charter. If Bill C-4 is approved by Parliament, it could be challenged in the courts and the courts would probably decide that some parts of the bill are illegal because they do not respect the charter. Unfortunately, while the courts are deciding the case, refugees would suffer in detention.
Canadian laws must also respect international human rights conventions that Canada has signed. These include the convention relating to the status of refugees and the convention on the rights of the child. Many parts of Bill C-4 do not respect one or more international conventions. If Bill C-4 is passed, Canada would therefore be failing in some of its international obligations.
The following are examples of the ways in which Bill C-4 violates human rights protected by international law.
Punishing refugees for illegal entry. The refugees convention says in article 31 that governments must not impose penalties on refugees for illegal entry. However, Bill C-4 does exactly this by punishing designated persons in various ways, including by detaining them.
With regard to arbitrary detention, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights says that governments must not detain anyone arbitrarily. Arbitrary detention is detention without the proper legal protections; for example, detaining people without giving them the possibility of having a review of their detention by an independent judge. Bill C-4 does exactly this by saying that designated persons must be detained without possibility of review for one year.
With regard to separation of families, various international conventions say that governments must protect the rights of families to be united but Bill C-4 does the opposite by denying designated refugees the right, for five years, to apply to reunite with their children overseas.
With regard to the best interests of the child, the Convention on the Rights of the Child says in article 3 that governments must take into consideration the best interests of any child affected by a decision. However, under Bill C-4, some children could be deported from Canada without any consideration of their best interests and application on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Bill C-4 is deeply unfair to refugees. It fails to honour obligations under Canadian and international law. It deprives individual cases from the independent review that justice requires. It would involve huge costs in unnecessary detention. Australia tried punishing refugees to deter them. It did not work.
At the same time, Bill C-4 would do nothing to prevent human smuggling. More laws would not catch the smugglers who are overseas. Mandatory minimum sentences have been shown not to work as deterrents. Smuggling, under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, is already punishable. The reality is that under Bill C-4 refugees would be victimized three times: first by their persecutors; second by the smugglers; and finally by Canada.
The reality is that most refugees want to go home but simply cannot return safely. We should admire and honour their courage and determination as they strive to pick up the pieces and start over, and we should recognize the richness and diversity they bring to Canada.
I would like to close by reminding us all that many refugees have made a difference and distinguished themselves on the world stage: actress and singer Marlene Dietrich; physicist Albert Einstein; and our own Michaëlle Jean. Finally, one refugee without schooling is too many. One refugee child behind bars is too many.

Hoang Mai Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her presentation. I have a couple of questions.
Basically, the bill says it is preventing human smugglers from abusing Canada's immigration system act. We have a member of the government saying that this will make streets safer. What is the member's opinion regarding whether the bill will make streets safer and who will be affected by it? Is it the smugglers or the refugees?

Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, It is important for people to understand that the bill has been harshly criticized because of what it would do to refugees. Refugee advocates denounce the bill as an attack on refugee rights. In particular, critics say that the bill contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Canada's obligation under the UN Convention on Refugees.
Janet Dench, the executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, says:
It is difficult to understand why the government would be proposing to bring this legislation back without change when it has been so widely condemned by legal experts, is clearly a violation of our charter and clearly in violation of international standards of human rights. There is no ambiguity about this. It does not conform to our international legal obligations.
She goes on to say:
—refugees...would be detained for up to a year, and even those accepted as refugees would be held in suspended animation for five years without any right to travel, to reunify with family or get on with their lives.

Paul Calandra Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, would the hon. member agree that one of the prime responsibilities of any government is to ensure that its borders are protected and when its sovereignty is challenged, that its various agencies have the ability to protect its sovereignty?
However, for those who seek asylum in Canada, when they arrive in the fashion that the bill would seek to address, our authorities need the ability to not only take care of the health and welfare of those people on the boats, but they also need the ability to ensure they are who they say they are, that we can check on who they are and can use our international partners to ensure that nobody who should not be in Canada does not arrive here. Surely the hon. member can appreciate the need to do that.
I keep hearing the Liberals and the members of the NDP say how the bill would seek to jail asylum seekers. They seem to want it both ways. Often they talk about how great our forces are. Many of the people who came to Canada on the boat in the last round now live in my riding. They are living in hiding, in fear of the people to whom they owe money.
Is that the type of system that member wants to continue to support, or would she support a system that goes after the people who illegally bring these people to Canada and force them into a life of hiding in Canada?
Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada's Immigration System Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would point out that our sovereignty is not under attack.
It is important for people to understand that refugees are often classified unfairly. Refugees flee their country, not for economic gain but to escape persecution, the threat of imprisonment and even threats to their lives. They need a safe haven where they can recover from mental and physical trauma and rebuild their hopes for a better future.
Intolerance is often at the root of internal displacement and it is also present in some of the countries to which refugees flee.
It is also important to point out that the minister can designate a group as an irregular arrival, which happened , for example, with the MV Sun Sea that arrived in British Columbia.
However, the bill does not say that the refugee claimants must have arrived by boat in order to be designated. A group could be designated even if there were no smuggling involved. Once a group is designated, everyone in the group is punished. The bill creates two classes of refugees, with one class treated worse than the other.

Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to join so many voices in opposition to Bill C-4.
It is a bit of a déjà vu, having been part of the team in the last parliamentary session that stood against Bill C-49. It is interesting to note that, while all opposition parties joined to oppose that bill, we are in the new Parliament assuming, yet again, that Canadians want this kind of legislation.
As we have heard, Bill C-4 is deeply flawed. Not only is it deeply flawed, but it also goes against the very image of Canada that we have built over decades, an image that Canada is welcoming, that it is inclusive, that it is open to not only the diversity of people from around the world, but also to the diversity of people who must often escape difficult situations, whether they come from backgrounds of poverty, or racial persecution or discrimination in their countries.
Many of these trends are ones that we, as Canadians, have responded to over the years.
I see my time is up. I look forward to standing once again in opposition to Bill C-4 at a later time.

Joe Preston Elgin—Middlesex—London, ON
Mr. Speaker, the St. Thomas Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurs, or ICE, is a cool example of a mixed use business incubator. ICE offers clients just the right mix of counselling, mentoring, administrative support and professional location to help businesses grow and succeed.
Visiting the centre, I discussed progress with some of the business start-ups, including computer specialists, a fastener company, people with home health care expertise and a great customer service entrepreneur in the home maintenance field, sharing great ideas with me and with each other. This type of business start-up and growth interaction can only take place when under one roof.
The collaboration of local economic development agencies, the Elgin Business Resource Centre and the generous help of local sponsors have made jobs happen.
Yes, it starts with passionate people with an idea. When we add some expertise and mentorship and include a great location like ICE, a perfect concoction is created: jobs, jobs, jobs.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to tell members about a remarkable and courageous young man, a constituent of mine, named Mark DeMontis.
Mark lost his eyesight at the age of 17 and his dream of playing professional hockey was darkened. Mark is currently rollerblading across Canada to raise awareness of the ability of blind kids to play hockey.
I am proud and honoured to welcome Mark and his family to Ottawa today. I invite all members to join me on the steps of Parliament Hill next Tuesday, October 4, after question period, to help send him on his remarkable journey.
This courageous young man has founded a not-for-profit organization called Courage Canada to further his goal of funding learn-to-skate programs and skills development sessions for blind youth across Canada. His ultimate goal is that blind hockey become a sport.
As long as we have young people in Canada like Mark, who are determined to succeed no matter what obstacles they face, we can all continue to have hope for the future of our country.

Mr. Speaker, one week ago today, on September 23, the employees of Labatt Canada shared their company's responsible drinking philosophy with customers and consumers across the country.
This year's Be(er) Responsible Day was tied into Labatt's new program called "Take the Pledge". This program, aimed primarily at young people, appealed to all Canadians to sign a pledge that they would not drink and drive. In appreciation for taking the pledge, Labatt donated $1 to the True Patriot Love Foundation for each pledge signed by a Canadian.
There have been far too many tragedies involving drinking and driving. I commend the thousands of employees of Labatt Canada, particularly those working in the Labatt brewery located in my riding of London—North Centre, for this initiative.
On behalf of all members of the House, I would encourage all Canadians to take the pledge to put an end to drinking and driving.
People's Republic of China
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Joyce Murray Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Liberal parliamentarians, I extend my warmest wishes to the people of China and to all Chinese Canadians as they celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Since former prime minister Pierre Trudeau initiated diplomatic relations with China 41 years ago, the Liberal Party has proudly cultivated the friendship between our two great countries. China is Canada's second largest trading partner and the business relationship between our countries continues to flourish.
In my riding of Vancouver Quadra I am pleased to host and attend many events where I can foster shared prosperity and stronger cultural ties between our two countries.
I send my sincerest thanks to China's ambassador to Canada, His Excellency Zhang Junsai, and Madam Yin Guomei for hosting me at their embassy celebration this week.
Liberals look forward to another successful year, working with our Chinese communities and further strengthening the warm relationship between the peoples of China and Canada.
Mississauga Youth Games
Statements by Members
11 a.m.
Wladyslaw Lizon Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, I will be attending the sixth annual Mississauga Youth Games, a not-for-profit organization in the city of Mississauga, which increases access to sport and fitness programs by offering youth free access to activities like baseball, cricket, dance and soccer, among many others.
Through the children's fitness tax credit, our government has proven our commitment and appreciation toward the role of sport and fitness in a child's development. With this being a priority for our government, I would like to applaud the organizing committee and volunteers of the Mississauga Youth Games.
Programs like these teach youth to become effective and engaged citizens through the promotion of sport, volunteerism and civic action, and by placing an emphasis on physical well-being.
Organizations like the Mississauga Youth Games continue to complement our government's efforts to ensure that Canada's youth have access to sport and fitness programs.
I would like to thank the organizing committee of the Mississauga Youth Games for its dedication to sport and fitness in Mississauga.
Michel Bernier
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Jamie Nicholls Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to one of my constituents in Vaudreuil—Soulanges, Michel Bernier, who retired in July after dedicating 51 years of service to fire safety, a distinction that is unmatched in all of Quebec.
This man is very passionate about the safety of his fellow citizens. In over five decades of service, Mr. Bernier fought fires and saved many belongings and lives, and he often risked his own life in doing so.
In 1984, he was the recipient of the Governor General's Medal of Bravery. He is deeply dedicated to the fire department and to the public, and he is involved in a wide variety of activities within his community.
Mr. Bernier is seated in the public gallery today. His 51-year career within the community and the fire department is unparalleled and is worthy of the recognition of this House.

I will be seeing my brother this weekend, and will get the recipe from him and post it Monday, Nov. 1.
My apologies. What happens when you are surfing the web for pizza stuff late night??? I didn't see it at PennMac either. I saw it on a spreadsheet like list of tomato products on a webpage that I have yet to find again... I do have a memory of it being a Heinz product- made a mental note (should have made a favorites link). I'm going to continue to look...
Here's the link to the website...http://www.hawkeyefoodservice.com/products/keysearch.asp?PPSC=0040&PPC=036
So do I!!!!! I've got the dough recipes, but not the sauce. You find the sauce, I'll supply the crust!!!

Skip to comments.Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread 18 November 2012
Posted on 11/18/2012 4:46:46 AM PST by Alas Babylon!
p>The Talk Shows
November 18th, 2012
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sens. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.; Govs. Bobby Jindal, R-La., and Scott Walker, R-Wis.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Lindsey Graham R-S.C.; Reps. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and Raul Labrador.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John McCain, R-Ariz., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Reps. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Peter King, R-N.Y.; Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich..
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Durbin; Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.; Reps. Tom Price, R-Ga., and C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md.; former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.
If he sticks to Conservative principles than fine, but right now he seems to pick and choose to make himself more popular. I do not buy into the Latinos will only vote for Latinos.
We had Mexicans running for offices in Mexican districts and got no movement.
Pray for America
I'm hunkering down. I'm going to concentrate on my land and improving it. Not full Prepper but definitely a bigger garden and probably some feed corn; maybe an acre or two. I'm going to fix up the old chicken coop and get some hens for eggs and meat. If feeder pigs are cheap this spring I'll probably buy one or two for fattening by next fall. So over the winter I'm going to make a smoke house.
I was out in the woods the past couple of hours down by my creek. Nice and pretty today. Sunny and mid 60's. Quiet this time of year. Plenty of birds but not much singing as it's not breeding season. The red birds are starting to test fight. Anyway, the creek is pretty stagnant—water in pools and not flowing very much. I'm thinking about how to build a dam.
Anyway I think I've been inside the house way too much and need to be out there--away from the computer, too.
OK, I accept the fact that 3 Million more voted for McCain than Romney. But what is the fall-off for Obama? I suspect there was voter suppression on both sides. Always is where the campaigns are deemed negative and nasty.
Mitt's ads against O were not THAT negative but the Rove ads were hard hitting, plus a lot of other independent ads and rumors. O's ads were ALL negative.
I think the number of fall off were comparable.
The big problem here (Ahia) was Gov Kasich being luke warm hoping to be re-elected in 2014 after being trounced by unions last year on a Gov Walker type law that included police and fire. (Walker was smart in not including safety forces - which can make you look bad with the folks). O took credit for auto bailout which largly affects Ohio as much as MI. Also a new shale oil boom and fracking has helped lower unemployment numbers in the Buckeye state.
Ohio's statewide elected officials (including Atty General Mike DeWine - former U S Senator) are all R's but they sat on their hands. Gutless wonders.
Howdy snugs!
My county is over 700 sq miles and has nearly 600,000 people with around 120,000 repubs. We are outnumbered by around 20K but we have a great young group that is bringing some excitement.
What did you have for supper over there?
Thank you for updating the record.
I believe that there was massive voter fraud in this election, also. Like Holmes, I listen for the hound that does not bark. Where were the democrats this past year, especially summer and fall, complaining about those eeevil republicans conniving to steal the election with their dastardly voting machines, etc.
I believe that the dems found newer versions of ACORN and similar manipulations for this cycle.
Another noticeable silence: all those disaffected conservatives who purportedly stayed home. Why have none of them had a word to say since November 6?
Jindal can parrot conservative principles quit well. The key point about Jindal is that he has NOT internalized a true belief in limited government or a view that government is a necessary "evil."
He 'talks' conservative, but he missed a huge opportunity to smash the Obama machine, when he failed to go loud and often against what they did to the oil rig industry in the Gulf. Payoffs from unemployment insurance and BP penalties are big govt knee-jerk responses, but not healthy for an economy to continue to provide good jobs and, dare I say it -— trickle down economic benefit for the entire region.
This failure convinced me that he bought into the benefits of big govt.
Sad, because he had a big megaphone!
I think we should compile a list of all those rocket surgeons, and ping them all to a "good beating" thread.
You take great care of him.....I'm sure he knows it as well:o)
I would like to hope he has already done enough to destroy us all. The mid east has me concerned.
" Nobody died in Watergate, in fact, by today's standards, compared to Carter, Clinton, Obama...Nixon did nothing wrong. Woodward is just another cog in the machine of RATaganda, designed to demonize and destroy Republicans, just like Dan Rather, Perky Katie, Stepinawfulpis, Prissy Crissy, Smarmy bitch Gregory et al. "
where is a conservative investigative reporter who could dig into and expose some of the secrets of our distinguished MSM talking heads and journolistas? i'm sure that these celebrity news-folk must have their own faults as did Gen Petraeus.
i think the only way to reduce the effectiveness of the MSM is to expose their pecadillos, which might make them a tad more circumspect in attacking the foibles of our more conservative brethren.

State of the Union:
"Maybe the GOP establishment should be asking themselves why, despite running their fantasy "perfect" GOP Establishment fiscal conservative/social liberal candidate in Romney, the GOP turned out 5 million fewer voters in 2012 then they did in 2004? "
have you considered that a smart computer programmer could have inserted software into voting machines in the states, or possibly into the software of the Spanish company overseas that was to tally the votes on election day, which would have selectively dropped votes being transmitted for Romney?
I haven't been cmmenting on the Sunday political shows lately because I've been going to church. I do appreciate those who do participate, though, and appreciate you hosting the thread, AB.
I hear ya on the "hunkering down" concept, AB, AND getting away from the computer. Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving this year.
Ping me if anyone ever gets that thread going. I'll help pile on!
The administration intentionally made Rice the face of Benghazi for the express purpose of creating the racist straw man argument. Stupid Pubbies fall for it every time. Republicans should have asked her why the hell she was there since she speaks for neither the State Department nor the CIA and sent her happy ass on its merry way.
Yeah Sarah was MIA this time and we see the result.
I have been criticized for demanding charisma in top people but when you take it away you see what happens.
God Bless you fellow Freeper, we pray for you.
i realize that I am posting to myself (Please forgive my Computer Ignorance)
AND I don't even know if this is allowed... but if you want to have your mind blown re: voter fraud.. see this
You make accept it as a fact, but it is not a fact.
I give the people running this administration more credit than you.
I don't think they went out looking for something that would absolve them in the event the "Arab Spring" fiction blew up. I think they took steps to create something they could blame such an event on. And I suspect they commissioned somebody to produce it.
Accordingly, I would very much like to see the purported Jew Sam Bacile (i.e., the reportedly Coptic Christian Nakoula Basseley Nakoula or likely Palestinian Eiad Salameh) on the witness stand -- explaining, under oath, exactly how this travesty was financed. And by who. And for what purposes.
I can buy into that scenario .... and they should 'talk' to him .... he's pretty much been 'kept on ice' through all of this.
I have learned a few things this cycle.
I really think that any candidate can have some of his views modified.Marco would be no different.
I envy you.
We made our share of mistakes but I'm getting election burn out. Gotta do other stuff now.
Newt I believe asked that or might have been Linda can't recall.you can bet everything they do is well thought out from a political bent only.
exactly bob.
Great news!!!Congrats, Bray!
well I meant "for the sake of argument" I accepted Romney having fewer votes than McCain, BUT I wanted to know if Obama also had a fall off. I think he did. People were not as enchanted or "fired up and ready to go" as 2008.
We need the real facts before we can fix it.
Already the GOP-e has it all figured that we have to drop the social issues (abortion, Gay marriage, etc.), have to grant voting rights to a never-ending flow of illegal aliens, etc.
Thanks for your prayers - they are greatly appreciated.
And, as bray always reminds us, pray for America, too!

You'd be surprised at how much difference an A-line skirt can make. When it comes to Hervé Léger, most consumers know what to expect from a new collection: bandage dresses, and for spring, swimwear. Under the guidance of Max Azria, the brand makes a killing doing those two things, and women gobble them up. After years of popularity, though, it can start to feel as though if you've seen one bandage dress, you've seen them all. What's a designer to do when dealing with a brand that's so heavily tied to one look?
If Hervé Léger Spring 2013 is any indication, the answer is to make small changes. Many of the signature bandage dresses, which are usually tight all the way down, flared out at the hip into soft full skirts that called to mind some of Alaia's more body-conscious cocktail numbers. The textures and color combinations of the dresses were also more complex that they have been in recent memory, all of which shot a bit of modernity into the clothes. If you haven't been an Hervé girl before, now might be the time to consider it.

Coconut Dream
Amount: 1 oz

Amount: 1 oz
Trying a few new teas from NMTC.
Will be ordering from Butiki soon.
I like NMTC a lot. Let me know how the blood orange is. I like oranges, and rooibos.
Den's Tea
Sakura Sencha: 2oz
Genmaicha Extra Green: 2oz
So excited for spring!
1x 1998 CNNP 7542 Pu-erh Tea Cake @ $67.80
1x 2005 Changtai Menghai Qiao Pu-erh Tea Cake @ $48.99
Yay! I'm really excited about trying the '98 CNNP 7542!
Stopped in at my local davidstea haha i couldn't resist the spring teas!
Got 15 g of:
Honeydew Mate
Guayusa (organic)
Coconut Oolong
Pom Tango
Berry Good
And I splurged on 50 g of Coco Lemon Thai because it smelled so good haha.
Total was around $21.
Verdant Tea
Laoshan Black: 7g
Autumn Harvest Laoshan Green: 7g
Hand Picked Autumn Tieguanyin: 7g
…It was necessary.
Soon you'll be making another necessary order because 7g of Laoshan Black is just enough to make you fall obsessively in love.
Mercuryhime: Haha, thank you for the heads up! I'm looking forward to that even more now!
I'm fortunate enough to have the free trial samples soon too (endless thanks, Verdant!) but… and perhaps it's a strange, fussy sentiment, but I felt like my first Verdant cup had to be that beloved Laoshan Black.
Just ordered some Pineapple Cilantro Cream and Grapefruit Dragon from Butiki :) :) :)
Made an order for Nina's Paris tea through Laurent. I couldn't wait any longer! Super excited to get it.
The de vendrome
Nina's Paris
Versailles Rose
Tigre blanc
Earl grey
The des muses
Marie Antoinette.
This is exciting, congrats for being one of the first formal orders (I imagine?) in the US. Hope you can enlighten us later on. :D
I'm in Canada. I ordered through email and paid with paypal. You can also order through amazon.com, but amazon's shipping is more expensive.
My first Verdant order! I just couldn't resist with all the good things being said about them! I got:
Laoshan black
Laoshan black chocolate genmaicha
Laoshan village chai
Shui Jin Gui Wuyi Oolong :)
My first Verdant too!
Laoshan Black
Laoshan Village Chai
Laoshan Genmaicha
Laoshan black chocolate genmaicha
Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black
Anxi Fo Shou Black Tea
Ginger Sage Winter Spa Blend
I hope it lives up to the hype ;-)
Have you ever gotten a craving for a really specific flavor blend? The other night I was absolutely dying for a vanilla rose blend—I could mix together my own, but half vanilla and half rose just isn't the same as a base that's been blended with both flavors. There are pretty much only two options and I went with Zhi Tea because they have cheaper shipping and a couple other blends I want to try!
Vanilla Rose
Coconut Assam
White Rose
Saigon Rose
All sample sized! The Saigon Rose is a lemon/rose blend which is another flavor I've wanted for a while.
Ooh, Saigon Rose sounds interesting! I was actually just thinking about herbals and thinking that I would like a lemongrass/rose blend.
Saigon Rose was the blend that got me to place an order! I was really "window shopping" when it came to the Vanilla Rose, but when I saw that one I knew my wallet was doomed.

sleep is wonderful
Posted by Reviewer1026858 on Nov 11, 2008
I went through 23 hours in a sleep lab with electrodes plastered all over me only to be told that I was a night owl and didn't sleep enough. Duh. I was trying to get along on 3-4 hours sleep a night. I had tried melatonin before, to no avail. Then I was told that it doesn't work if you swallow it. Since I started taking this, I consistently sleep 6-7 hours a night! The difference in my life is amazing.

I cannot believe how wonderful this product is! My twelve-year-old daughter has always had a lot of difficulty falling asleep at night. She was never alseep before 10:30 or 11 pm every night. As soon as we started giving her this brand of Melatonin, she is asleep every night with in 15 minutes of going to bed. No side effects. I can't believe we waited this long to try this!
Amazing stuff
Posted by Reviewer2841015 on May 17, 2009
The best product. It absolutely bombs me. Can awaken in the night sometimes still though. But my sleep is just heaps better.

This product has helped me get to sleep a few hours earlier than I normally do. Instead of chewing th tablet I let it dissolve under my tongue. I tried another brand that was not chewable but the other brand made me feel sick to my stomach and did not help me get to sleep earlier.

10 States with Most Cooking-related Claims on Thanksgiving
According to State Farm claims data, more cooking fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. A release from the insurer states that grease- and cooking-related claims more than double on Thanksgiving Day compared to an average day in November.
With the popularity of turkey frying, people are at risk for fryer-related fires and injuries. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says deep fryer fires result in more than $15 million in property damage each year and hot oil splatter can cause serious burns to an adult or life threatening injuries to a child.
The following are the top 10 states for grease- and cooking-related claims on Thanksgiving Day over the past five years:
10. South Carolina
9. Minnesota
8. Pennsylvania
7. Louisiana
6. California
5. Florida
4. Ohio
3. New York
2. Illinois
1. Texas

With the abundance of photo-editing software on the market, you shouldn't have to see a picture of a red-eyed kid at a birthday party ever again. Most digital cameras come with their own software, either a proprietary application or a third-party program like Adobe Photoshop Elements. When you buy a new computer, you'll likely find that a photo editor comes standard as part of the package, like Apple's iPhoto, which can hold its own in terms of quick image editing. But to get creative, you'll need software that can go beyond basic touch-ups.
Many people don't realize that excellent photo-editing software, comparable to Photoshop in many ways, can be downloaded for free. Most reviewers cite GIMP as the best free software available, but there are other options like PhotoScape and Google Picasa that might be right for some. GIMP isn't for everyone; it comes with a steep learning curve and not much support.
Moving into the realm of commercial software, Adobe reigns supreme. It produces Photoshop Elements 11 (Est. $100) , which is aimed at casual users; the more sophisticated Photoshop CS6 (Est. $700) , suitable for designers, professionals and serious amateurs; and Lightroom 5 (Est. $150) for photographers who shoot RAW and need to quickly process large collections of images. Corel PaintShop Pro X5 ($55 ) and DxO Optics Pro 8 (Est. $100) do not hold the same sway with experts as Adobe products do.
Adobe has made a big change to its software sales model in 2013. While the company will continue to sell the latest versions of its software, going forward new releases will be available via Adobe Creative Cloud, a subscription service. For a monthly fee (Est. $50), you can access a number of Adobe products, including Photoshop and Lightroom, and you're allotted cloud storage for your files as well. However, once you stop paying, you lose access to all that software and must move your files elsewhere. You can still purchase Adobe Creative Suite 6 for a one-time fee, but the company has no plans to release new versions of that software outside of the Creative Cloud service. Users will have to decide how much they're willing to pay and what kind of access they need.
We turned to sources like ArsTechnica.com, DigitalCameraReview.com, Expert Reviews, PCMag.com and PC Pro to find out what the pros are talking about. Most of these experts have been reviewing software and photo technology for years and are already familiar with older versions of the software they review, providing excellent baseline comparisons. We tally their favorites to come up with our picks, which are truly the top of the heap.
