Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Convenient & easy to use
Posted by AllyAw on Apr 28, 2014
When IOM changed the recommendation for Vit D, I knew I had to get this for my kid when he was a little toddler. Little children usually do not get enough exposure to the sun which is a natural & best form of vitamin D, so I suspect my child may likely be deficient in Vit D. I put 4 drops in his 100ml milk bottle & he does not have any complaints. My boy is older now & I put 5-6 drops in in his breakfast cereal. My only gripe with this bottle is the dispenser. The liquid dropper comes loose from the cap when you tighten a little too much. ======================================================================================================= If you found this review helpful, please let me know by clicking the "Yes" button below the review. I have more reviews in mypage. . Thank you!

It is not convenient to use it orally as too many drops needed, I add it in the mixture I use as face moisturiser along with avocado oil and several drops of franckincese essential oil.
Thank you for a Liquid D3
Posted by Reviewer2244882 on Jan 29, 2009
I am and Complementary and Alternative Health Practitioner. I let my clients know they can benefit by ordering from iHerb.com. The product like is extensive at minimal prices. Now liquid Vit. D3 is a quality product that is easy to assimulate.
No taste
Posted by Reviewer1880085 on Jul 03, 2009
For a liquid this is a good product. It has no taste so can be taken without food.
Excellent product...
Posted by Reviewer2934919 on Sep 23, 2009
We bought this for vitamin D3 supplementation for our nursing newborn. It is easy, convenient and reasonably potent where it doesn't take alot to get to the required levels.
Good single vitamin supplement
Posted by Reviewer1971797 on Nov 22, 2009
I can't say if this is actually helping, but vitamin D3 is supposed to help heal broken bones. However Now Foods has great product selection at great prices. I like the single ingredient products offered by Now Foods, because they allow me to select the form and amount of vitamin/mineral I want to take.
Now D3 liquid seems like a high quality product
Posted by Reviewer2393513 on Jan 01, 2010
No complaints, we like it!
Easy to take.
Posted by Reviewer1555200 on Jan 08, 2010
The drops are very easy to take. Flavor is fine. No issues. Don't know the effectiveness yet.
Now D-3
Posted by Reviewer2815739 on Mar 23, 2010
Very cost effective vitamin D
Easy to use
Posted by Reviewer1095193 on Apr 15, 2010
This product is ideal for children. We add it to morning breakfast cereals. Delivery was very prompt.

What kind of lives are the most inactive people living? "I think they're living the typical life. They drive their children to school, they sit at a desk all day long, they may play some video games and they go to sleep," Archer said.
John Jakicic, chair of the department of health and physical activity at the University of Pittsburgh, praised the study but cautioned that its definition of "vigorous" is limited and not based on a person's fitness level. For some very obese people, for instance, just general walking could be considered vigorous, he explained.
What to do?
As little as 30 minutes of exercise five days a week can stop weight gain and improve health, study author Archer said. "People don't understand that [you] don't have to go to the gym and lift weights and run marathons to have dramatic impacts on your body. Standing rather than sitting, walking rather than taking your car, they have huge impacts on your health over time."
Jakicic agreed that little changes can have a big difference. "Traditional exercise approaches are not the way to try to get obese people active -- the barriers are just too great," he said. "However, we showed a number of years ago that encouraging multiple brief periods -- five to 10 minutes two to three times per day -- was an effective way to get individuals active initially. Once they started to become more active in this way, they started to add even more activity."
The study appeared recently in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

The first review is on the new Franny's: He calls the food "unfussy yet meticulously assembled and rarely anything but very good" and the wine list the "geekiest list in America." But the restaurant only warrants two stars (out of four), in part because of "excessively al dente" pasta and "earnest" desserts. While Richman's reviews will initially focus on New York restaurants, he plans to expand his scope to places around the country.

This paper presents an automated approach to learning object models by means of useful object data extracted from data-intensive semistructured Web documents such as product descriptions. Modeling intensive data on the Web involves the following three phrases: first, we identify the object region covering the descriptions of object data when irrelevant contents from the Web documents are excluded. Second, we partition the contents of different object data appearing in the object region and construct object data using hierarchical XML outputs. Third, we induce the abstract object model from the analogous object data. This model would match the corresponding object data from a Web site more precisely and comprehensively than the existing handcrafted ontologies. The main contribution of this study is in developing a fully automated approach to extract object data and object model from semistructured Web documents using kernel-based matching and view syntax interpretation. Our system, OnModer, can automatically construct object data and induce object models from complicated Web documents, such as the technical descriptions of personal computers and digital cameras downloaded from manufacturers' and vendors' sites. A comparison with the available hand-crafted ontologies and tests on an open corpus demonstrate that our framework is effective in extracting meaningful and comprehensive models.

Absolutely wonderful! The cooking method left the meat ever so tender and the wine / port combination gave a great depth to the sauce. One change I did make though was to blend in a tablespoon of flour and a little water at the end to thicken the sauce more, it tasted so great is seemed a shame not to make it a little thicker so it stuck to everything more and I loved it in more of a gravy consistency.
I hope you don't mind, but I was looking for a recipe to use some good quality lamb pieces I had and chose yours - and I am so glad I did. I also added some potato chunks - to stretch it - and served over rice. This dish is really delicious - I think the coating of freshly ground cumin and corianer seeds is vital. Can't wait to try with lamb shanks!
Absolutely wonderful!!! The cooking time was spot on for tender fall off the bone lamb shanks. I loved the addition of the port. I also thickened at the end to make a gravy like Peter had suggested, I used a combination of cornflour and bisto gravy granules. I loved this recipe and it will definitely be one I will be making again. A great post Jewelies..
After Peter's review, I just had to try this recipe. We've talked about having lamb shanks for years, but this was my first attempt - I'm so glad I waited until now. I only cooked them for 2 hours & they were lovely & tender, but I think they could have stood being in the oven for another 30 minutes or so. Served with Green Beans With Bacon and Shallots and cheesy mashed potato. Thanks Jewelies for sharing this keeper.

Investors need to see things from different angles
Are you being fiscally responsible?
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Upbeat economic news late in July fueled investor worries that
the Federal Reserve would speed up its timetable for hiking
interest rates.
That sparked a late-month sell-off in taxable bond
mutual funds
, which overall lost 0.43% in July, according to preliminary
Lipper Inc. data.
Service-sector indicators were up. So were factory orders.
"With the approaching end of (the Federal Reserve's)
quantitative easing (program), people are edging out of rate
sensitive fixed income," said Stewart Taylor, a manager of $60.5
million Eaton Vance Short Duration Real Return .
Treasuries were the only category to gain, eking out a 0.03%
gain on average, as many
sought safety amid geopolitical havoc.
Incentives for taking risk were evaporating, Taylor said. "So
many investment grade corporates are fully priced. If there's no
hope for further price appreciation, you tend to take profits in
those names," he said.
The same retreat occurred lower on the credit quality ladder.
"The lower on the quality spectrum, the worse the return was,"
Taylor said. "And the absolute yield of riskier segments is very
low. So we started to see some profit-taking there too."
Preferring the safety of U.S. Treasuries, investors drove
emerging-market local currency debt funds to a 0.91% setback.
International income funds, as a group, lost 0.63%.
Relatively risky flexible income funds backtracked 0.57%.
Yield Curve Steepened
The yield curve steepened slightly as investors fled
intermediate and long bonds, driving up longer prices. More
investors edged away from the long and intermediate parts of the
curve. "Seven years and in have been better off," Taylor
The yield on two-year notes rose 6 basis points to 0.529%. The
yield on 7-year notes rose 11 basis points to 2.24%. The yield on
10-year notes rose 5 basis points to 2.58%.
Going forward, Taylor is increasing his cash reserves and
looking for opportunities in higher-quality corporates. He also
sees some values in shorter, higher-quality commercial
mortgage-backed securities (
For some retail clients in separate accounts, he is creating
bond ladders. Each rung has maturities of no more than five
years. "This is fairly new," he said. He is putting together
ladders with bonds rated BBB, yields of about 1.6% and a 2.9-year
Taylor owned a 3.60% coupon bond fromWestlake Chemical (
) that matures July 15, 2022, rated Baa3 by Moody's, with a July
total return of -0.10%, which was 26 basis points better than a
comparable Treasury.
It benefited from its intermediate duration, relatively high
quality, low
gas prices
and uptrending industry cycle, Taylor said.
Muni Moves
Tax exempt bond funds had another OK month.
Municipal bond funds overall edged up 0.11%. As in other
recent months, they were driven by steady demand and low
"In July we've had $23 billion in new issuance but north of
$30 billion in maturities and coupon payments," said Timothy
McGregor, describing monies that retail investors typically roll
over into other munis.
He expects more of the same in August. "We expect $33 billion
to $34 billion in reinvestment form coupons, calls and
maturities, but a supply of only $25 billion to $26 billion in
new issuance," he said.
But the seasonal surge of cash looking for bonds will dwindle
after August, he said. Issuance could pick up too. Muni pretax
yields have fallen to or below Treasury yields, making it more
economical for issuers to refinance old debt, McGregor said.
"Munis are still historically cheap vs. taxables, just not as
severely cheap as they were at the start of the year," he
McGregor owned a New York City water and sewer authority bond
with a 5% coupon, 2044 maturity, 2021 call feature, rated AA+ by
S&P. Its yield to call went to 3.65% from 3.80% in July.
"Pretax, that's still higher than taxables," he said. Its July
total return was 1.27% vs. 0.18% for the Barclays Muni Index.
There's also a good chance McGregor will be able to trade the
bond in a seller's market around year-end. New York is a state
whose bonds mature and pay coupons around year-end. That means a
lot of Empire State investors will be looking for ways to
reinvest their money in December and January.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Basically this is a series of unrelated scenes and montages of the entire Harmony stable being tied up. But it is more than that. We see and hear the performers, unscripted, talk and laugh with the director as they are tied up and put through the ropes. There are also a few scripted scenes, but all are loose and relaxed, infused with humor and pleasure. And, of course, the bondage itself is expertly done.
The opener with Frankie Dashwood giggling and walking around exemplifies this. She's amazingly expressive with a gag in her mouth. Later is a sexy scene with Jill Valdisar being interviewed while tied up and wearing lovely black bustier. She also is able to get a lot of info across with a ball in her mouth.
Retailing: Bondage – put a couple copies at the front of the Harmony section.

BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) - A freak accident at a Southeast Texas mall has left a worker burned after a vacuum cleaner she was using started her clothes on fire.
Beaumont police say the accident happened late Thursday morning at the Macy's store at Parkdale Mall.
Police say a 39-year-old contract worker was using a backpack-style vacuum cleaner when the cord shorted out and set her clothes ablaze. Emergency responders in Beaumont treated her for second- and third-degree burns to her back, then the woman was transported to a hospital burn unit in Galveston.
The name of the burned woman and further details on her injuries weren't immediately released.
A message left with Macy's store management in Beaumont wasn't immediately returned.

Before you are too critical of Corky Simpson, the Tucson, Ariz., baseball writer singled out for not voting for Rickey Henderson on his Hall of Fame ballot this year, consider a poll that ran on Page 2 last week.
Readers were asked which of 40 players active in 2008 they would vote into the Hall of Fame. There was no limit to the number of players you could vote for, all 40 players are good enough they certainly will make the ballot when they are eligible and many of the 40 likely will wind up in Cooperstown. But not according to Page 2 readers. Only eight of the 40 players received 75 percent of the vote, the minimum required for election to the Hall of Fame.
So if it were left up to those voters, Pedro Martinez, Manny Ramirez and Ivan Rodriguez would not make the Hall of Fame. Tom Glavine, who has won more than 300 games and two Cy Young Awards, reached the 75 percent mark by the thinnest of margins.
That's the problem with recent calls to change the Hall of Fame voting procedure. I'm not against change, but I'm not convinced some of the proposals will improve the vote. In fact, I fear they would make it worse.
That's because the more voters you add, the more difficult it becomes to reach the required consensus of 75 percent. We learned this via the Veterans Committee, which expanded the pool of voters when there was a sense that it consolidated power among a select few old players. Specifically, the complaint was that veterans supposedly had to be friends of Ted Williams to get into Cooperstown. That might have been a legitimate concern, but at least Williams had a lot of friends, so the Veterans Committee added players from time to time. But due to the changes in the Veterans Committee voting procedure, almost no one gets in now. (We can only wonder what Ron Santo did to tick off so many of his peers.)
I'm open to giving broadcasters a vote. I'm also willing to listen to proposals that include some fans, although I'm not sure how this would work. But we must be careful about adding too many voters. Do it the wrong way, and we'll just make the Hall harder to get into, which is the opposite of what is desired by many of the people proposing changes.
In the meantime, here are ways we can improve the actual votes of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
1. Expand membership. It took way, way too long -- there are baseball writers who still aren't convinced this Internet thing will catch on -- but the BBWAA is finally expanding its membership, albeit slowly.
One complaint about limiting the vote to the BBWAA is that the organization has too many biased writers who refuse to take a more enlightened view of player evaluation. This is a legitimate concern. But now that the BBWAA has finally opened its doors to "non-traditional" writers such as Rob Neyer and Keith Law (plus yours truly) of ESPN.com and Christina Kahrl and Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus, this problem will lessen. In time, more and more of these writers and analysts will receive ballots and make their marks on the vote.
And then they, too, can know what it's like to be called a complete moron for not considering Lee Smith a Hall of Famer.

Come on, seriously -- how could you not vote for Rickey Henderson for the Hall of Fame?
2. Prune the voter rolls. In theory, baseball writers vote on the Hall of Fame because we cover so many games and talk with so many players over so many years that we get an informed view of which players deserve plaques in the Hall. At least, that's one justification. But some of our members are columnists and sports editors who have scant interest in baseball, seldom attend games and rarely speak to players. Nonetheless, they get votes, same as full-time baseball writers. That's wrong.
By all means, offer those people BBWAA membership and the access that comes with it -- but don't automatically grant them voting rights. Instead, require that, in addition to being an active member for 10 consecutive years, you also attend a minimum number of games (say 30 to 40) per season during that period. How would you know how many games a writer/editor attends? At the end of the season, simply have the local chapter chairman check the sign-in sheet in the media dining room, because there are only four recorded cases in baseball history of a writer attending a game without eating.
3. Make all votes public. If Bert Blyleven has to endure a decade of disappointment, he should at least know who isn't supporting him (and who is). And if you're a voter certain of your vote, you should be willing to justify it. If you can't, maybe you shouldn't have a vote.
Speaking of which
4. Get rid of the idiots. Call it the Corky Simpson Rule. If you fail to vote for a player who gets 94 percent (or thereabouts) of the vote, you should lose your voting privilege for a year. Do it again, and lose your vote for three years. Do it a third time, and lose it permanently.
I'm not talking about writers who don't vote for Jim Rice, Goose Gossage, even Kirby Puckett or anyone else on whom there is room for reasonable disagreement. But if you don't vote for Rickey Henderson (and 28 people did not), Tom Seaver (five did not), Willie Mays (23 did not) or Hank Aaron (nine did not), I'm sorry, you no longer can be considered an expert on baseball. The fact that previous voters were too stubborn to vote for Mickey Mantle is no excuse for continuing this indefensible practice. When I hear someone say, "No player has ever been a unanimous selection," my reaction is, "Well, why the @#$% not?"
Voting for the Hall of Fame isn't a right, it's a privilege. Abuse that privilege, and you should lose your vote.
• One more recommendation, which is more a matter for the Hall of Fame than the BBWAA. Have a heart. Don't kick players off the ballot if they don't get 5 percent the first year. As long as you get one vote that first year, you should stay on the ballot. After that, your percentage should have to at least equal the number of years you have been on the ballot (5 percent after five years, 11 percent after 11 years, etc.). This might never affect whether a player gets into Cooperstown, but it just seems wrong that very good players, such as Lou Whitaker, drop off after only one year of consideration.
• If you need another good time-suck (and don't we all?), go to the Hall of Fame Web site and look up the voting history on each player. This not only is a good way to eat up a productive afternoon at work, it could be the basis for a good book. Just look at Rice, who reached the 75 percent needed for inclusion in his 15th and final year of eligibility, after receiving only 29.8 percent his first year. As recently as 1999, he still was at less than 30 percent. What happened? Why did his vote total go up so dramatically, while Don Mattingly's has not? (Mattingly got a comparable 28.2 percent his first year, but even with the benefit of New York voters, he has never gained any traction and is down to 11.9 percent.) Why does one player gain momentum and another does not?
• Oh, and here's another item on how tough the standards for starting pitchers have become recently. No starting pitcher with fewer than 300 wins has made the Hall since Fergie Jenkins in 1991. In other words, as it has become more difficult to win 300 games due to the five-man rotation, we have increasingly used that as a standard. At the same time, as it has gotten easier to pile up save totals due to the one-inning specialist, we've been making it easier for closers to get in.

The goal of this study was to document the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and possible risk factors for these injuries in a large population of young, athletic subjects.
The authors retrospectively reviewed the US Naval Academy's database of midshipmen admitted in 1999 and 2000 (n = 2,345) and prospectively followed until graduation 4 years later or disenrollment. Excluded were 658 who had a history of preadmission ACL injury or surgery, those without initial radiographs or documented baseline height and weight, or those who had documented contact ACL injuries. Therefore, 1,687 subjects comprised the study group. Standard radiographic measurements, including condylar width, notch width, and femoral notch width index (notch width divided by condyle width), were obtained for all subjects. Statistical analyses were used to determine differences between injured and uninjured subjects.
The overall incidence of non-contact ACL injury was 2.9% (37 men, 12 women). The average BMI was 25.6 and 24.4 kg/m2 for the injured and uninjured groups, respectively (P < 0.05). Although femoral notch width alone was not associated with non-contact ACL injuries, subjects with higher than average BMI in combination with narrow notch width were at significant risk for ACL injury (P = 0.021).
Elevated BMI combined with narrow notch width may predispose young athletes to non-contact ACL injury.

March 5, 2005 by Gary Mortenson
MANNING, S.C. - To say that Allan Glasgow had J.T. Kenney's number all week would probably be the understatement of the season. During Wednesday's competition on Santee Cooper, Glasgow set the all-time, single-day catch record in EverStart Series history with a behemoth five-fish stringer weighing 32 pounds, 13 ounces. As it turned out, Glasgow's sack was 1 ounce larger than the previous record-setting stringer, weighed in by Kenney two months earlier at the EverStart Southeast Division event on Lake Okeechobee.
However, as fate would have it, that wouldn't be the last time Glasgow would leave Kenney scratching his head in disbelief during this Southeast Division event. A mere three days later, during Saturday's final weigh-in, Kenney would lose out to Glasgow once again - only this time, the stakes were much higher.
Heading into the finals in fifth place, Kenney stormed back into the lead after changing gears on the last day - switching from a finesse fishing style to a flipping stick in an effort to "go for broke." And, until the final minutes of weigh-in, it appeared that his strategy was going to pay off.
"I had been fishing these weenie worms the past couple of days instead of flipping, the way I really like to fish," Kenney said. "But my girlfriend came down and told me that she would be proud of me no matter where I finished, whether it was first or 10th. So, I decided to go for it. I picked up my flipping stick and decided to try to win this tournament."
Kenney, one of the best flippers in the nation, parlayed his new approach into the largest stringer recorded during Saturday's finals - a 14-pound, 3-ounce bag - which gave him a healthy two-day total of 25 pounds, 6 ounces.
But then it was Glasgow's turn to take the stage. Without any hint of what was to follow, the 34-year-old EverStart rookie from Ashville, Ala., produced a five-fish stringer weighing 11 pounds, 15 ounces - giving him the exact same two-day weight as Kenney. But due to the official tournament rules, which award tiebreakers to the angler who compiles the largest combined weight over the opening two days of competition, Glasgow was declared champion.
"This is awesome. It's the biggest win of my career. It's a great feeling," said Glasgow, who led all qualifiers heading into the final two days of competition with a mammoth two-day catch of 44 pounds, 15 ounces. "But my hat's off to J.T. He's a great fisherman. I'm just lucky he wasn't able to use his big flipping stick the other three days of this tournament or I could've been in real trouble."
For his first-place finish, Glasgow received $10,000 as well as a fully rigged Ranger boat, for a total value of cash and prizes of $51,000.
"I still can't believe it," said Glasgow. "Man, this is awesome. I kept thinking about that fish I missed yesterday, but I realized I had to put it out of my mind. Then, when I saw the size of J.T.'s bag today, I was really nervous. I was just very fortunate today."
Glasgow said he landed the majority of his catch in a two-acre area, targeting matted grass with a Denny Brauer flipping tube and Gary Yamamoto craw worm.
In the end, Glasgow said he couldn't have written a better script for this week's tournament.
"There are some guys fishing this tournament that do this 365 days a year," said Glasgow, fishing in only the second EverStart event of his entire career. "There's definitely some tough competition here. And J.T. is one of the best. For me, just finishing in the top 10 would have been an accomplishment."
Kenney suffers another heartbreak
After finishing the Lake Okeechobee EverStart event this past January in second place by a mere 1 pound, 10 ounces behind the winner, Kenney, not surprisingly, had a harder time stomaching his second consecutive runner-up finish in as many Southeast Division tournaments.
"Of course it's heartbreaking," said Kenney, who only managed to catch four fish in the finals. "I had the fifth fish on, but it just got off. It's definitely tough. It's my second second-place finish in a row. I lost by a little over a pound last time and by 0 ounces this time. So, it's kind of hard to swallow right now."
However, with a 14th-place finish at the first FLW Tour event of the 2005 season and a fourth-place finish at the FLW event at Lake Toho last month, Kenney can be consoled by the fact that he's arguably fishing as well as anyone in the nation right now.
"You know, overall it was a good week," Kenney finally admitted. "Right now, I'm headed to Ouachita (the third FLW Tour event of the 2005 season). And hopefully I can do well there, too."
Ironically, Kenney had planned to head to the Ouachita River tournament earlier this week in order to get in some valuable practice days. However, his stellar performance on Santee Cooper kept him around a lot longer than he initially expected.
"Now, I'll only have one day to practice," he said. "Hopefully, this will be worth it."
Despite the tough loss, Kenney still managed to walk away from the Santee Cooper event with a nice consolation prize of $10,000.
Ormand nets third place
Bolstered by a two-day catch of 21 pounds, 7 ounces, Alex Ormand of Bessemer City, N.C., captured third place overall, winning a check for $8,950 in the process.
"I'll tell you what," said Ormand, "coming into this tournament, I wouldn't have given one plug nickel (on the odds) that I had any chance of winning this at all. I had a big fish on today - a real toad - but I didn't land it. I guess it wasn't meant to be. But overall, I had a good time."
Mauldin comes up short
After leading the Santee Cooper event after the third day of competition, Mark Mauldin knew that it was his tournament to lose heading into the finals. Unfortunately for Mauldin, a native of Cleveland, Tenn., he just couldn't get the big bites when it counted most.
"I knew I needed three big bites today," said Mauldin. "I could have run around and thrown a little worm around the boat docks and got a small limit, but those big fish kept calling my name today. In the end, I just could never get those big bites. But this is a fantastic lake. And I had an awesome tournament."
For his efforts, Mauldin took home $7,950 in prize money.
Best of the rest
Warren Wyman of Calera, Ala., used a total two-day catch of 16 pounds, 6 ounces to capture fifth place overall and win $7,450 in prize money.
Rounding out the top 10 pro finalists at the EverStart Santee event:
6th: Yancy Windham of Gordo, Ala., 15-9
7th: Richard Szczerbala of New Hill, N.C., 13-0
8th: Sean Stepp of Stafford, Va., 10-10
9th: Pat Fisher of Danielsville, Ga., 7-4
10th: Jason Knapp of Uniontown, Pa., 6-5
EverStart Southeast Division action resumes April 27-30 at Lake Eufaula, located in Eufaula, Ala..

Alexander Wang
Kylie Jenner in Denim x AW 001 Slim Fit in Light Indigo
Kylie Jenner posed for a selfie for her Instagram account at her home. For the photo, the reality star wore a pair of Denim x AW 001 Slim Fit in Light Indigo with a long sleeve shirt and some Supreme x Jordan sneakers.
I have been waiting to see someone in a pair from Alexander Wang's denim line. I love the look of them and even down to the fit, they have a vintage feel to them. How many of you have tried out the Denim x AW line? You can click here to purchase Denim x AW from the Alexander Wang site.
Denim x Alexander Wang
Alexander Wang first made his mark on the fashion world in 2007 and he's since become a household name that we all love and associate with. As if apparel and bags wasn't enough for him, he's just launched his new Denim x Alexander Wang collection! It's the next step for the brand, still keeping in with the urban uniform vibe that his collections are known for.
Using cutting-edge techniques and hand-finished methods, Alexander Wang combines the brand's unique wash and dry processes, making each pair of Denim x Alexander Wang jeans feel extra special, yet clean and functional. Shopbop has just started stocking the line and there are 4 styles available so far. I think the pair above have to be my favourite! The wash looks so vintage and worn in. What do you think? The jeans are made in the USA and you can buy them online at Shopbop by clicking here.
Khloe Kardashian in Alexander Wang Leather and Denim Jacket
Khloe Kardashian was snapped while catching a flight out of LAX and wearing her Alexander Wang Leather and denim jacket. It has been a while since we've seen a celebrity wearing a mixed material jacket, like this one with leather sleeves.
They were popular a year or so ago, but I still think they look relevant now, especially given the current popularity of denim jackets. Hopefully we see Khloe wearing this a few more times this summer. You can buy Alexander Wang online from Shopbop.com.

I have a new machine with a recent video card (ATI Radeon HD5850) connected to an Acer H233h monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080 through a KVM (switch keyboard)
At first, as the KVM don't forward the plug&play information from the monitor, it's seen as a 'non-plug&play monitor' and the maximum resolution proposed is 1600x1200.
I have installed the driver of the monitor (H233h.inf) and now the 1920x1080 is available but when I select it, the refresh rate is set to "30Hertz interlaced" and the image on the screen 'tremble' which make it unusable.
I have tried to modify some parameters in the inf file to adjust the horizontal and vertical refresh of the monitor but without success ...
Please note that I have other machines connected through this KVM (a WindowsXP and a Linux machine) and they use 1920x1080@60hz without problem
Note also, that when I connect directly the monitor to the video card (removing the KVM from the loop), Windows automatically recognize the monitor and display 1920x1080@60 without problem (but I need to use this KVM, as I don't have enough place to have an other monitor/keyboard/mouse)
So I'm nearly sure that the problem come from the .inf file.
What can I do to use the maximum resolution of my monitor ?

Particle accelerators are invaluable tools for research in the basic and applied sciences, in fields such as materials science, chemistry, the biosciences, particle physics, nuclear physics and medicine. The design, commissioning, and operation of accelerator facilities is a non-trivial task, due to the large number of control parameters and the complex interplay of several conflicting design goals.
We propose to tackle this problem by means of multi-objective optimization algorithms which also facilitate massively parallel deployment. In order to compute solutions in a meaningful time frame, that can even admit online optimization, we require a fast and scalable software framework. In this paper, we focus on the key and most heavily used component of the optimization framework, the forward solver. We demonstrate that our parallel methods achieve a strong and weak scalability improvement of at least two orders of magnitude in today's actual particle beam configurations, reducing total time to solution by a substantial factor.
Our target platform is the Blue Gene/P (Blue Gene/P is a trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, other countries, or both) supercomputer. The space-charge model used in the forward solver relies significantly on collective communication. Thus, the dedicated TREE network of the platform serves as an ideal vehicle for our purposes. We demonstrate excellent strong and weak scalability of our software which allows us to perform thousands of forward solves in a matter of minutes, thus already allowing close to online optimization capability.

For the price I can't complain too much, but I was hoping it would come with a keychain loop at least. You can't even put a key ring on it. It feels cheaply made and extremely fragile. The color was very nice though. I gave mine away to an 11 year old as a first USB drive. I suppose if you are really careful with it and baby it, it will last a long time. I am going to buy the titanium cruzer instead. This would be a cheap first for a child or student. Not for important files in my opinion.
A flash drive is a flash drive is a data key is a data key etc etc... You get the idea. Really, there is little difference from one to the next except for when it comes to storage size. One flash drive doesn't exactly work better or worse than another flash drive. An f-drive works or it doesn't. That's it. The Cruzers are good little keys that come in nice colors. The preloaded folders, et al., take up very little room. Actually, they aren't even needed and they are easy to delete. Keys this size are incredibly inexpensive, so the Cruzer is a reasonable price. Two things might make this f-drive more appealing than others. One is aesthetic and the other is practical. One - color. Some flash drives come in color, others don't. Two - no cap to lose because you easily slide the hardware in and out of its case. Easy. Enjoy. :)
As with all pencil memories this is a neat item. the retractable feature is good.
If you are planning on backing up My Photo pictures, get one that is at least 10 mbits. My 4 mbits didn't cover half of what I have, so I'll go for another one when on sale only with more capacity.
I ordered 3 of these, 2 for the office and 1 for home. Sandisk is a brand I'm familiar with and I found these flash drives to be a good value. The time between ordering, shipment & receipt took a little longer than expected though.
The product functions exactly as it should. I just seems "breakable" for some reason. the sliding of the USB port feels like it isn't going to last too long.
I have no problems. Love that it came with my mini notebook. I happy with everything. Thanks
very nice little tool to carry in my pocket
good product and good price

So, we are trying to figure out a good name for an event for the following:
The mechanism by which you access published capabilities and objects from a person near you is by calling the PeerCollabRefreshEndpointData() API. This API effectively refreshes the local cache with whatever data is being published by the endpoint. Since this is a network operation, it is asynchronous, and has an event for when the operation completes. We are trying to figure out a good name for this operation.
Any thoughts, on what sounds like a good name? Each event is associated with a structure containing the data that was returned. Please give suggestions!
Any other ideas?

University of Otago student Lindsey Horne (21) said, although
they missed the brunt of the tornado in Auckland on Thursday,
they had cycled through knee-deep puddles to make the Power
Shift New Zealand-Pacific 2012 in Auckland.
The speakers at the summit yesterday included Greenpeace
spokeswoman Lucy Lawless and Kiribati resident Claire
Anterea, who talked about how rising sea levels could make
her a refugee from the atoll island, Miss Horne said.
The speakers today included journalist Naomi Klein, the
author of the New York Times bestseller No Logo.
The initial pack of Dunedin students who cycled from the
Octagon on November 16 comprised Miss Horne, Letisha Nicholas
(22), Mike Fried (22), Leander Schulz (22) and Sophie Dobson
(21), but the group expanded to a dozen riders as cyclists
joined them on their 1300km journey to the summit.
The event was being attended by more than 700 young people,
including about 40 participants from the Pacific Islands,
making it the biggest youth climate summit held in New
Zealand, Miss Horne said.
''The tornado hasn't stopped many people.''
The cyclists represented the desire of young New Zealanders
for low-carbon transport solutions in New Zealand, Miss Horne
''It would be irresponsible to ignore the abundance of
opportunities to move beyond fossil fuels. Having cycled for
25 days through New Zealand's beautiful landscape, we can see
how much there is to lose if climate change isn't
The three-day summit finishes tomorrow.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by your debt load, you may be tempted to seek out debt relief. However, you must keep in mind that debt relief can have a negative effect on your credit score.
Your decision to buy a car surely means a lot to you, but you need not create hullabaloo about it. Rather, simply follow The Money Times' step-by-step guide to simplify your car buying decision.
Although, there are many alternatives to cash like the credit and the debit cards, the common man is yet to understand the nitty-gritty involved in their usage.
It is your credit score that will eventually determine your credit worthiness and make your access to loans and other kinds of financial instruments either easy or difficult.
It's no secret that mortgage availability in the United States has been down in recent years. Prior to the global financial crisis, mortgages were a lot easier to get hold of, but now it seems you need a good credit score to stand a chance, and even that is no guarantee of success.

Mr Betteridge is in Dunedin this week to begin a conservation
management plan for the prison on behalf of the Dunedin
Prison Charitable Trust.
"It's a beautiful building complex with the law courts and
the railway station, but once inside it's a different feel -
dark, dreary, sombre," he said.
He and his wife, Margaret, who also carried out the
conservation management plans for the city's southern and
northern cemeteries, will pull together all the information
on the prison, do additional research and consult other
heritage experts about the building and provide the trust
with a detailed plan.
Mr Betteridge said that the plan would primarily be driven by
the historical significance of the building, its rarity, its
architectural significance and its surroundings.
"It appears to be the only surviving courtyard prison of its
type in Australasia."
That would also encompass social values, which were the
hardest to assess, although the fact the building was on the
Historic Places Trust and Dunedin City Council registers of
historic buildings suggested there was value in it.
Other areas to be canvassed included constraints on
development, opportunities, condition of the building and
access as a "happy balance" between retention of its historic
aspects and becoming a viable tourist operation.
"It is a real opportunity to turn it into a model and
centrepiece for talk about the history of prisons in New
The 16-week project would involve the Betteridges returning
to Dunedin to complete the fieldwork later this month.
It was a challenge Mr Betteridge was looking forward to.
"You never know what will come out of the woodwork."
