Excess weight on the key ring can cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position without warning, turning off the engine. This defect can also affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Dealers will provide two replacement key rings and key cover on all ignition keys to correct this concern.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
A cordial but shallow meeting of the minds
CONSIDERING the panel was composed of old political warriors, they were pretty well-behaved.
The Business Council of Manitoba convened a conference Thursday to celebrate its 15th anniversary. Included in the sessions on the past 15 years, and the future of the province, was a unique gathering of first ministers.
In the morning, former Prime Minister Paul Martin and former Quebec Premier Jean Charest offered their take on Manitoba's place in the global economy. In the afternoon, however, was an unprecedented gathering of four former Manitoba premiers: Ed Schreyer, Howard Pawley, Gary Filmon and (via a video link from Washington) Gary Doer, now Canada's ambassador to the United States.
For those of us who stalk the activities of politicians, this is pretty meaty stuff. Former premiers, especially those from opposing political parties, rarely gather to discuss current affairs. This was a particularly interesting event because the premiers are so incredibly different from one another.
On this panel, you got the full spectrum of retail political styles: Schreyer's gruff bluster; Pawley's methodical, almost mournful tone; Filmon's simple elegance and efficiency; and Doer's folksy charm. There was, for the most part, a quiet respect among the four premiers.
Filmon and Pawley were definitely the feistiest. The two premiers scrapped over whether the NDP government Pawley led up until 1988 left power with a deficit or a surplus. It's a very sore point with the NDP, who claim a surplus. It never got close to blows, but there were flashes of anger on both sides.
The panel was, like the conference itself, an exercise in deference. The panels were interesting, but not edgy. Difficult problems were confronted, but without much in the way of courageous solutions. And the big-name visitors imported for the conference — such as Charest and Martin — were flattering to a fault in their analysis of Manitoba.
There were times during this conference when the panelists sounded a lot like a visiting rock star who starts off every concert, no matter where he is, by assuring the audience they are the greatest fans in the world. As Schreyer said in a thinly veiled criticism, the conference was not "a waste of time, per se, but it was time-wasting."
That does not mean there were not important moments. Even with the deferential tone, this was a day when the audience could reflect on Manitoba's place in the country, the continent and the world without partisan or special interest howling.
Listening to the narrative of the conference, here is a precis of what we know about Manitoba: it is a unique place in Canada, more economically viable than other smaller provinces but lacking the ambition and opportunity of larger provinces. We have our challenges — creating opportunities and education outcomes for aboriginals, lowering the provincial debt, balancing priorities such as health care and infrastructure — but over the past 15 years (the period studied by the Business Council for this event) we've performed admirably in most areas.
Perhaps the most important observation was made by Kevin Lynch, a former federal clerk of the Privy Council who is a master of big data. Lynch pointed out the world's economies are so interconnected now that "when a Cypriot bank has a bad morning, the Toronto Stock Exchange drops 150 points." In that kind of world, Lynch and others noted, Manitoba is little more than a very small cog in a national wheel that is a very minor player in the global economy.
The implication is that much of what happens here is really the result of events that take place elsewhere. It's comforting to know that we're doing a pretty good job of not creating our own problems, and disturbing at how little control we have over our own future. That does not mean that any government of any stripe should get a free ride. Only that, to borrow from a famous inspirational saying, we should change the things we can and accept with patience those that we cannot.
This is an interesting time to live in Manitoba. The provincial government is struggling to eliminate its deficit and taking chances, most notably with its increase in provincial sales tax to fund infrastructure. The economy is growing slowly, but is still ahead of the national average. There are business successes, and some social failures. We're gaining immigrants, but still losing some native born kids.
That mix of good, bad and ugly is a source of great pride for some, and concern for others. Fortunately, it's the debate between those two camps that makes this such an interesting time.

Welcome to ICODA!
In 1973 while teaching at Northwestern University, I realized that Deaf and Hard of Hearing children had few opportunities to develop their creativity and talents to help them grow into self-confident, independent adults. It was then that my dream was born and turned into a lifetime crusade to provide the children with quality experiences in the arts. I wanted them to learn that they had much to contribute to the world and that by working together great achievements could occur.

Performance by NCC cadets of the NE Region stands out at the ongoing NIC camp
The spirit of national unity and integration soared high, as NCC cadets drawn from across the country displayed their multifaceted talents at the cultural programme organised at the ongoing National Integration Camp here on Wednesday
The camp is being hosted by the NCC Directorate (Andhra Pradesh) and the 22 (A) Battalion, NCC, Tenali, at VSR & NVR College (Autonomous).
Be it the gorgeous Bhangra dance by cadets from Punjab, or the traditional dances of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, or the patriotic group song by cadets from Andhra Pradesh, the programme was a tribute to the secular threads weaving across the nation to form a myriad canvas full of colour. Waves of patriotic fervour swept across the auditorium as the cadets performed with ease.
What stood out was the performance by the cadets of the North Eastern Region as they swayed easily to the beat of the poles clamped together.
The Bamboo dance had two dancers dressed in traditional Mizo costumes swaying across the poles clamped together by boys.
As the girls effortlessly moved from one pole to another with a constant smile on their faces, the audience watched in awe.
Group skit
The programme had a group skit that displayed patriotic fervour. Cadets from the Maharashtra directorate dressed in battle fatigues displayed the valour of the Army in the song 'Ma Tuje Salaam'.
Mithali displayed the variation of dance in a classical dance form.
Vice-Chancellor of Acharya Nagarjuna University K. Viyanna Rao was the chief guest at the programme. Deputy Director-General of Andhra Pradesh NCC Directorate Suresh Badyal was present.
Group Commander of NCC, Guntur, Colonel Narendra Babu, said 700 cadets from 16 directorates across the country have been taking part in the NIC camp since January 7. The camp will conclude on January 18.

C10s Handle News and Live Production Programming
MADEIRA, PORTUGAL â RTP Madeira, a regional Portuguese television channel operated by Rádio e Televisão de Portugal, has upgraded its production facilities with two Solid State Logic C10 HD Compact Broadcast Consoles. The station produces programming and news for cable distribution to the Madeira Islands and via satellite for the Azores Islands. The C10 HD consoles, part of a move into an all-HD digital production workflow, are supported by two XLogic Alpha-Link Live I/O units and four Alpha-Link 8 RMP eight-channel microphone preamp units controllable from the console.
âThe two SSL C10 HD consoles won a public tender and are clearly the best console for this installation,â? says António Vieira, Sales Manager for AuVid Cientifico, the SSL representative for Portugal. âRTP Madeira is a television channel that has its own production and programming beyond the network feeds from RTP1 on mainland Portugal. One of the consoles is installed in News Studio 1 for live-to-air and the other is being installed in Production Studio 2, supporting live-to-air and live-to-capture talk shows, popular music programs and the like.â?
The Madeira Archipelago is located south west of the Portuguese coast, 610 miles from Lisbon with a population of just less than 250,000. Programming interests range from sports, with an emphasis on soccer, professional basketball and surfing, to local food, music and news presentations. The C10 HD was of particular interest because of space and budget restraints.
âThere were many considerations in choosing the C10 HD for the Madeira installation,â? Vieira relates. âThe C10 HD brings the pedigree and power of an SSL digital broadcast console to this smaller studio complex, giving RTP Madeira the same production features as a large network studio. The console has great specifications and came in at a good price point which was critical for this installation. There is no other console in its class that offers the
advanced feature set and made-for-broadcast design of the C10 HD. We were very happy that we did not need to get a digital console that was really designed for music studio applications, not for broadcast.â?
Solid State Logic is the worldâs leading manufacturer of analogue and digital audio consoles and provider of creative tools for music, broadcast and post production professionals. For more information about our award-winning products, please visit: www.solidstatelogic.com.

If you're a candidate whom I haven't interviewed or are with a campaign for such a candidate, and you'd like to […] [Read More]
Home is where the candidate is
Seems I should have been asking about candidates' residency in Houston as I've been doing my Council interviews. For what it's worth, and I left a comment at the City Hall blog to this effect, it's not at the top of my list. I care much more about where a candidate stands on the issues, […] [Read More]
2007 candidate interviews coming up
As you may recall, I did a series of candidate interviews for the May special election to fill the City Council seat that Melissa Noriega eventually won. Now that the filing deadline for November has passed, I intend to embark on another series of interviews for this election. Here are the basic ground rules: 1. […] [Read More]
Noriega-Morales debate to be rerun tonight
For those of you (like me) who missed it, a repeat broadcast of Melissa Noriega and Roy Morales on the PBS show the connection: Red, White & Blue will be tonight at 5 PM. I'm going to go set my TiVo right now to record KUHT channel 8 from 5 to 6 so I can […] [Read More]
More endorsements for Noriega
Melissa Noriega has racked up a bunch more endorsements for the June 16 runoff for City Council. Early on, she received the endorsements of Noel Freeman and Andy Neill. Earlier today, her campaign sent out a press release announcing the support of most of the remaining contenders: Sara Owen-Gemoets, Ivan Mayers, Kendall Baker, and Alfred […] [Read More]
Andy Neill endorses Melissa Noriega
Noel Freeman was the first of the runnerup City Council candidates to make an endorsement in the runoff, and now Andy Neill has followed suit. My Fellow Houstonians, As a registered Independent and a candidate for City Council during the current Special Election cycle, I have been granted a truly unique vantage point from which […] [Read More]

Iran Update
As a follow-up to my post, Laissez Faire in Iran, take a look at Nicholas Kristoff's own follow-up article,"Those Sexy Iranians." Kristoff tells us more about a younger generation of Iranian baby boomers (60 percent of the country's population was born after the revolution) who declare:"We want fun ... There's no joy here." Kristoff states baldly:"Ayatollahs, look out." Indeed.
Also take a look at Jesse Walker's fine essay,"Iranians are Feistier than Iraqis."

Posted September 14, 2009
I bought this for my 6-year-old niece. She played with it for a solid hour and also loves to take it in the car or when she is going somewhere. It has 2 dancers, 4 back-drops, lots of outfits and accessories. And it all closes up into a nifty little metal tin so that you don't lose all the pieces. I think it's a nice gift, good for the price, and would last well.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

First daylily of season
deluxemoonpie(7b)May 19, 2013
Daylily season has come to my house! Selma Rose bloomed 5/19. She isn't as pretty as always but we've had very wet weather and that makes her a little splotchy. 7 1/2 inch bloom on a 19 1/2 inch scape. 5 fans, 5 scapes. We are a week behind normal this year and 3 weeks behind last year (last year's spring was so hot we were two weeks ahead). She has often been my garden's first bloomer of the year.
Nancy zone 6
I just saw a scape on my Selma Rose today, I always like the color of Selma & such a big flower. I've been seeing scapes just the past few days, lots more today after a big rain yesterday. Selma used to be my first "real" daylily bloom, but I've seen scapes on several, have to wait & see which actually blooms first.

YEVO Nutrition For Every Day People
YEVO Nutrition
After months of research and years of wishing there was a great, quick, convenient, yummy source for needed nutrition that did not require hours of shopping, washing, chopping…I've FINALLY found a food worth feasting on.
YEVO International is the largest little food company in the world, on a mission to feed humanity the 43 essential nutrients needed to sustain healthy living. The foods are quick to prepare, taste great and packed with nutrition. Our family and many clients have been enjoying them daily for a month now and people are calling daily to share how much more energy they have, how they are sleeping better, losing weight, no longer having cravings, some even feel that the essential nutrition in the food has helped them live headache free for the first time in over 3 years and several parents are reporting that their children's behavior is noticeably better.
I have to say that I'm not in the least bit surprised. After all, these are ESSENTIAL nutrients needed to sustain healthy cellular function. Our bodies can not make these nutrients, thus they are ESSENTIAL. We must get them from the foods we eat or the supplements we take and according to research the WHO says that 90% of us are not getting the needed nutrition from our daily diets. If you look at the lack of human health, I think you would agree.
That's why I'm so thrilled to be able to share this wonderful solution – YEVO International meals. Every meal includes 50% of the 43 essential nutrients, 26 grams of protein, Omegas, Fiber and these nutrient dense meals are low in calories. They take about 5-10 minutes to prepare and they taste great!
Since you all know how much research I do before making a decision to try a product then promote it…I want to share some of the science behind YEVO. It's really such a simple concept – we used to get all needed nutrition from food and there was no need for supplementing. Now YEVO offers this ability again and as you know, our bodies are meant to get nutrition from food rather than pills.
YEVO Science:
Chip Marsland is the pioneer of anthropological biochemistry. Chip Marsland and Peter Castleman partnered over 4 1/2 years ago to bring YEVO International to fruition. His extensive background in food science and neurology along with the power of proteins has helped him create 100′s of food products which have been rated by Consumer reports as #4 in top functional foods for nutrition and diet. Listen as he explains how everything he was doing was wrong and why.
The YEVO Solution With Chip Marsland & Peter Castleman
These two business partners have a mission to change 100 years of bad foods and help every person, every day in every place on the planet get the essential nutrients they need to live healthy lives. To do this they've surrounded themselves with leaders in nutrition, molecular biology & medicine.
YEVO International Scientific Advisory Board:
Dr. Stacey Bell Ph.D, – Nutrition
Dr. Raymond Rodriguez Ph.D, – Molecular & Cellular Biology
Dr. Robert A. DiSilvestro Ph.D, – Professor of Human Nutrition
Pei-Ra Ling, M.D., M.S., – Assistant Professor of Medicine, Peking Union Medical College
Dr Stacey Bell About YEVO:
Dr. Stacey Bell is a nutrition expert and a consultant to the food and dietary supplement industries. She has served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, where she conducted cutting-edge nutrition studies. Dr. Bell is also an expert in dietary supplements and has developed products for Tony Robbins and Dr. Andrew Weil. She has counseled thousands of people on how to eat and what supplements to use. Her publications are in excess of 100, and she has lectured around the world on a variety of nutrition-related topics.

Ponder this question….Do these companies create good or bad foods? Kraft, Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Kellogg's, ConAgra, Nestle, Tyson, etc.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily intake of 43 essential nutrients for optimal health. These essential nutrients are nutrients that your body can not make. You must consume them every day in your diet to properly nourish your body. Many are overeating unhealthy foods, and starving inside because they are not getting these 43 Essential Nutrients which, when absorbed, cause satiety.
- These 43 Nutrients ensure that your cells are nourished, and they sustain health, and promote growth. The mass population is not even getting half of their daily nutritional requirements, and this foundational weakness is at the root of many of the diseases so common today.
- US Health Care + 3 Trillion attributed to bad food… World Health Care is $85 Trillion
To Reverse 100 years of bad food practices.
Humans need 3 things: Oxygen, Water and Nutrients
Nutrients Help You Grow, Live, Heal.
Every YEVO Food provides 50% of 43 essentials in every serving…
Yevo foods leave out all the bad…
- No MSG

Essential nutrients are carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals that our bodies require daily but can't make on their own. These nutrients must come from our diet.
- Why do we need essential nutrients?
Our bodies need essential nutrients every day to properly grow, heal, and live. If they are absent from our diet or we don't get them in the right amounts, it can lead to poor growth and brain function in children and increased aging and chronic disease risk in adults.
- How do we provide you with nutrient rich foods?
Based on information provided by the Institute of Medicine and the World Health
Organization, there are 43 essential nutrients. To provide you with all the 43 essential nutrients you need daily, we use real foods from nature and then add any missing nutrients to our meals.
- What are some of the 43 essential nutrients in Yevo™ foods?
Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Tryptophan, Histidine, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Cysteine, Linoleic Acid, Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Arginine, Alanine, Proline, Serine.
- What happens to me if I don't get essential nutrients?
Without proper nutrition the body potentially does not have the full capacity to grow to its full potential. Vitamins and minerals are used by the body to maintain healthy cells. When cells are healthy, adverse effects stemming from natural aging process and potential chronic disease can be minimized.
As you can see, every serving of YEVO International foods provides 50% of these 43 essential nutrients including 26 grams of protein and these proteins are globular not fibrous. This simply means your mitochondria will love it!
It's time to put our money where our mouth is and eat what will heal us. I look forward to getting you more information, a sample and what ever you need to make an informed decision about the foods you currently eat and how one simple change can positively impact your health.

What Are The Six Essential Nutrients?
The six essential nutrients include carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. An essential nutrient is a nutrient that the body cannot synthesize on its own — or not to an adequate amount — and must be provided by the diet. These nutrients are necessary for the body to function properly and keep us healthy.
The WHO (World Heallth Organization) has recognized 45 essential nutrients necessary to sustain health. In addition to water & protein they include…
- Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Tryptophan, Histidine, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Cysteine, Linoleic Acid, Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Arginine, Alanine, Proline, & Serine.
Studies have shown that poor nutrition and malnutrition are reflected by a decrease in blood levels of micronutrients and trace elements as well as many vitamins.
What Happens When We Lack These Six Essential Nutrients?
Fat accumulation is also generated by malnutrition (lack of nutrients in food) which also generates inflammation in the body. Inflammation seems to be at the base of many diseases. One of the consequences of malnutrition, inflammation and obesity is a disease called metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is the generic name of chronic conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. All of these conditions are the result of inactivity and poor nutrition.
Processed, fatty foods filled with empty calories are at our fingertips and we are paying a very high price because we eat it. Right now Diabetes, Heart Conditions, Obesity & Cancer are ALL on an epidemic rise in America alone.
Americans are the most overfed undernourished population on the planet. 70% of us suffer from at least 1 chronic disease and according to the CDC, chronic diseases are the more costly, the most prevalent and the most preventable! It is time to take back our life, stay healthy and empower others to do the same!
In addition to increased fat storage and inflammation, here are more consequences caused by the lack of these six essential nutrients…
Osteoporosis has a lot to do with high consumption of phosphorus rich soda drinks. Did you know that soda is 3,000 times more acidic than water, not to mention the massive amounts of sugar. High refined carbohydrates will increase your calcium loss through the urine. Lack of activity will speed it up.
Your pancreas, the organ responsible for the production of insulin, the hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar, will be overworked. Eventually, your pancreas won't be able to provide based on the overhauling demand and will collapse which leads to Diabetes.
Studies are finding that as much as 70% of children 12 years old have the beginning stages of hardening of the arteries! As the process of poor nutrition continues and as your activity decreases, the arterial walls continue to be filled up and the plaque is formed. Plaque is the beginning of the end. This plaque will favor the formation of the clot that will trigger your heart attack or your stroke.High fat and high cholesterol levels will oxidize your L.D.L. (low density lipoproteins) what we call the bad cholesterol. Your liver which is also overworked won't be able to clear up the excess fat. Oxidized L.D.L. will penetrate the walls of the arteries through the initial injury triggered by the free radicals. Rigidity or a loss of elasticity of the artery will follow and your hypertension will set in.
Keeping your intestines healthy is of the utt most importance because 70% of our immune system is in our intestinal tract referred to as "intestinal immunity". Fibers bind toxins and nourish the growth of good bacteria in the intestines. A low fiber diet will decrease your colon acidity and deprive your healthy bacterial intestinal flora from the necessary nutrients. Celiac, IBS, Allergies & more are a result of this lack of essential nutrients.
First of all, processed foods are poor nutritional sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, protein, water and fibers. These types of foods are filled with "empty" calories which cause additional cravings, addictions & overeating.
Fortunately, our body has a very sophisticated antioxidant system to fight the negative effects of nature but it only works as long as we give it what it needs; the six essential nutrients. Trace elements play a major role as a co-factor with antioxidants in the metabolism and integrity of organ functionality.
I know, I know, pretty depressing right! But staying healthy is much more simple than you may think. It does take effort, commitment & some work but it really comes down to 2 very important things; diet and exercise.
This message is serious because it is so very real. If we don't change our ways, no one else will. Join me in helping make a difference. In doing something that really matters. In changing 100 years of bad foods and getting these six essential nutrients back on your plate.
YEVO Is Changing 100 Years Of Bad Foods:
Do you suffer from "Food Dilemma" too? I do. Every day I'm worried about food…what my kids eat, what to cook for dinner, where to buy healthy foods, having enough time to cook, can we afford organic, can I trust labels (NO), is the food labeled organic still irradiated, what's REALLY in packaged food and what's been done to "fresh" food, are we getting the nutrients we need, do I even have the energy for preparing a complete meal today? Then I get into the the torture of knowing we should be eating better, wondering why I always have cravings, what is my body missing to make me want chocolate? Trying not to eat in the evening, taking time to have a good breakfast, making the kids eat before they run off to school, stressing about what my son in college is eating…and on and on…and on…and on…I think we all relate. On some level, we all suffer with FOOD Dilemma. Not to completely change the subject, but have you ever heard of The North Face company, Hawkeye, EON Labs, Herbalife, STR Holdings, Igloo, Caris Life Sciences, DermOne, AppStar….and the list goes on? I ask because I spent last Saturday (Nov 19) learning and gleaning as much as I could from the most prosperous man I've ever met; Peter Castleman. He's taken 11 companies to muti-billion dollar status but prosperity is much more than monetary. Peter is the epitome of a leader; humble, generous, encouraging, brilliant, persistent, honest, loving and courageous enough to take on big food and big pharma. His mission to change 100 years of bad food is one that resonates with my soul. It parallels my message of education beats medication. His company, YEVO Internationaloffers such a simple way for us to get the nutrition our bodies are starving for and overcomes the food dilemma we all suffer with.
The Beginning Of The Bad Food Era:
Since 1911 when Crisco was created, big food has used the perfect formulation of salt, fat and sugar to imprint our brains and make us food addicts. The phrase "You can't eat just one!" is sad but true. In the past 100 years we've been witness to major technological and scientific advancements yet our foods have remained exactly the same; dead, void of nutrients, foodstuffs that keep us coming back for more. What was once malnutrition has become "chronic disease" and we Americans are now the most overfed, malnourished and medicated society on the planet. Have you ever asked yourself why? Why all the disease? Why the need for multiple medications? "Chronic diseases—such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes—are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Chronic diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the U.S., which is 1.7 million each year. Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, they are also the most preventable." Centers For Disease Control We've all been witness to the decline of health due to lack of nutrient dense foods. We are paying a very high price at the gain of large corporations who could care less about your health or mine. Big food and big pharma have capitalized on our food addiction for years. But 100 years of bad foods has reached its apex…we are all fed up!
This mission is massive yet attainable and many will prosper in more ways than one because of it. Peter Castleman is at the helm. His vision is immense and we can't do it alone.
If you find yourself thinking, "Dani, this all sounds fabulous but what the heck is YEVO?" Simply put YEVO International is the largest little food company in the world. YEVO foods provide 50% of 43 essential nutrients per serving, including protein, fiber, omegas and they are just as delicious as they are nutritious.
For Example: Todays' Oatmeal is mostly carbohydrates. YEVO oatmeal has 26 grams of protein (equivalent to a 16 ounce Rib-eye), 1 ½ grams of Omega 3s (4 cod liver oil capsules), 11 grams of fiber (2 cups of Broccoli) and provides 50% of the 43 Essential Nutrients.
YEVO will launch with the most important meal of the day, breakfast and release additional meal options soon thereafter. Options like sauces, soups, mac-n-cheese, red beans & rice, and many more. These foods are simple to prepare, quick meals which simply require water but I love to cook so I will be using them to enhance the nutritional value of my most favorite (and not so healthy) recipes as well.
Enjoy this quick clip of my boys first taste
YEVO is currently in prelaunch so customers will be able to order as of Feb. 1 2015 when YEVO International officially launches. Right now we are looking for leaders to start taking this mission, message and solution to the masses. Remember changing 100 years of bad foods is a person to person mission and opportunity. Who is with me? Who hears this call? Who is in a FOOD dilemma every day? Who wants to be the change? Who has a desire to help others? Who?
Learning How To Trust Again…
Trusting The Network Marketing Industry Again
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…
Late night rant or rave…for the network marketing lovers and haters, who, like me, don't trust easily.
Just had one of the most challenging yet liberating conversations. A man called me after researching SISEL International, which happens very often because my name still pops up on searches when people Google Sisel.
Anyway, he had read my blog posts, watched several videos, researched who I was, what I stand for and knew a lot about my life because I've made my life an open book online…certain aspects of it anyway.
After an hour of doing the best I could to help him comprehend why I or anyone in the Network Marketing industry would walk away from a passive residual income, team of amazing people and resign…then continue to refer people to certain products (this really got his goat)…I realized he was not questioning me or the company or my reasons…
He was questioning his. Under his need for a deeper understanding of what seemed to him to be ludicrous was a desperation that I could not comprehend. I found myself frustrated, offended, challenged, anxious, exhausted and finally compassionate, thank goodness. I had to restrain my desire to reach through the phone and shake him, many times. Self control is an amazing thing.
He needed to know if I could be trusted, if anyone in this industry could really be trusted. Trust was the desire he lacked. Most likely trust in people in general, regardless of the circumstances.
Yet I appreciated his willingness for a better understanding and ultimately this lead me to realize that I too lacked trust. This conversation became a mirror of what was on the inside.
I've not fully engaged in the industry for the past 18 months due to complete lack of trust and disappointment, yet I've not allowed myself to be out of the industry either. I've been on the outside, looking in, trying to figure out WHY.
Trust is something you can not see, with no measure, but is given out of faith. Not for the guarantee but for the possibility. Trust is the greatest gift we can offer another person. It opens us up to hurt, makes us vulnerable, somewhat scared, yet fully alive and vibrant. The unknown is a very exhilarating place.
Trust is a risk worth taking and life is a journey of learning that without trust…we will be alone, desperate for acceptance and yearning for relationship, asking ourselves "What if"…
It has taken me 18 months to trust the network marketing industry again. To know that just because I've chose bad people to partner with, does not mean all people are bad partners.
The wisdom that has come from 20 years of industry experience has been astonishing. I've grown up, met many marvelous people, become close friends and confidants. This is the ultimate honor.
I am humbled and grateful to be where I stand today. Thankful for my past and looking forward to my future. I am trusting my gut while allowing myself to have faith in founders of a new company. One I can not even tell you the name but I choose, with open eyes and no guarantees.
It's time to revolutionize the industry. To marry online and offline marketing. To lead a new generation of marketers in making a living while making a difference. To say less and mean more. To extinguish any misconceptions because we WALK our talk and lead by example.
The world is filled with magnificent people and opportunity. More than ever before, we have the ability to positively impact people's lives. There has never been a better time in which we (you & I) can have a strong influence on the improvement of an individuals' well being & every day life.
Be empowered and know that the only way you will find out if you can trust somebody, is to trust them.
I thank this stranger for building my resolve. May he find every answer he is seeking and the ability to trust himself enough to trust others.
As I should be recording more online marketing "How to" videos, these are the thoughts I am compelled to share. Yet another page in a chapter of this life which is an open book…
What are your thoughts?
Opportunity Knocks, Will You Answer?
When Opportunity Knocks We Better Answer.
Wow, it's been so long since I've written that I almost forgot my website login. Pretty sad, but life is crazy and when opportunity knocks I always answer. I may not accept the opportunity but I always answer the door. Don't you? I really want to know. (Amy, if you are reading this, I'm downloading Roboform as soon as I publish this post!!!!)
Have you ever noticed that many times opportunity looks like a heap of stinky laundry? You don't want to do it, but you want to wear it. We ALL want "it" (success, freedom, money, travel, marriage…) without having to achieve it, or at least we think we do.
Years ago something horrific happened to my family. Something I would never wish on anyone, yet most can relate because their own family has been hit by a stinky stack of it as well…dis-ease, rare and uncommon, incurable…DIS-EASE! YAY Opportunity!
I can look back on the past 10 years and say, "Under that stinky pile of opportunity lies a world of endless possibility." Dani Walker
Once the stench of Jack's diagnosis subsided, we thought it was best to let the Drs "deal" with the mess. 3 years passed and we decided that maybe WE should take charge. 18 months later, Jack was in remission and has remained so, since.
When Opportunity Knocks…We Learn
I had no idea that the opportunity to become an author, speaker and wellness coach was in my stars…I did not know that I would also become quite good at building websites and driving traffic to them to spread my message, help small businesses brand themselves, meet and establish amazing friendships and more opportunities.
Most of all, I had no idea Sarcoidosis was the beginning of making this opportunity a reality. If it weren't for that wretched pile of pungent laundry…you would not be reading this silly message right now! Hmmm
We all have one of those, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." stories. What's yours?
So here's the message for today…
When opportunity knocks, you may not recognize it, like the way it looks, or want to put the effort out to achieve it…answer anyway. After all, you never know who will be next on the "100 most influential people in the world" list.Back in the day (1980′s) there was a door-t0-door fax machine saleswoman who created slimming hosiery in 1998 and by 2012 she was the world's youngest self-made female billionaire! SPANX creator Sarah Blakely literally turned a pile of dirty laundry into a multi-billion dollar business.
What do you do when opportunity knocks? What dirty laundry is still shoved under the bed, being ignored? Which door do you wish you could go back and open?

How To Stay Healthy: What Does My Body Need?
How To Stay Healthy
Just what do we need to stay healthy?
We need four elements to stay healthy: 1) water, 2) sunlight, 3) nutrients and 4) oxygen. Unfortunately, the overuse or misuse of either one of the four elements will lead to disease formation. We could not live without oxygen, but this precious element could also be the source of our destruction.
The theory of free radicals or oxidation is the most accepted theory in the scientific world. This theory insinuates that we get "oxidized" in a simple word, we rust.
For example, observe an iron rod little by little, with the action of water, wind and sun exposure, this iron rod will rust.
This is what happens to us as our cells "oxidize": Our arteries get plugged, our brain gets damaged, our bones become brittle and our lungs get darker due to cigarette smoking or pollution from air, water, food and toxic personal care products. Every cell and organ in our body is submitted to the damage of free radicals.
Nutrition: How To Stay Healthy
I am sure you have heard the saying "You are what you eat!" Well you are actually what you absorb.
Studies have shown that poor nutrition and malnourishment are reflected by a decrease in blood levels of micronutrients and trace elements as well as many vitamins. I have confirmed this with Sarcoidosis (My husband was dx in 2004 and has successfully used natural sarcoidosis treatment) and many other autoimmune diseases through much research at pubmed.gov. There are over 26 different studies that consider oxidative stress the underlying pathology of Sarcoidosis & other ILD's and over 160 studies relating oxidative stress to diabetes.
Fat accumulation is also generated by malnutrition (mainly caused by lack of nutrition in foods we eat) which also generates inflammation in the body.
Inflammation seems to be at the base of many diseases. One of the consequences of malnutrition, inflammation and obesity is a disease called metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is the generic name of chronic conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. All of these conditions are the result of inactivity and poor nutrition.

Another common saying is "Americans are the most overfed undernourished people in the world." Processed, fatty foods filled with empty calories are at our fingertips and we are paying greatly. Right now Diabetes, Heart Conditions, Obesity & Cancer are ALL on an epidemic rise in America alone. It is time to take back our life, stay healthy and empower others to do the same!
Stay Healthy Or…
Here are just a few of the consequences to lack of nutrition:
Your pancreas, the organ responsible for the production of insulin, the hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar, will be overworked. Eventually, your pancreas won't be able to provide based on the overhauling demand and will collapse. Eventually leading to Diabetes. Lower Your A1C Naturally
High fat and high cholesterol levels will oxidize your L.D.L. (low density lipoproteins) what we call the bad cholesterol. Your liver which is also overworked won't be able to clear up the excess fat. Oxidized L.D.L. will penetrate the walls of the arteries through the initial injury triggered by the free radicals. Rigidity or a loss of elasticity of the artery will follow and here is your hypertension that your mom gave you after nine months of suffering and tender love.
Studies are finding that as much as 70% of children 12 years old have the beginning stages of hardening of the arteries! As the process of poor nutrition continues and as your activity decreases, the arterial walls continue to be filled up and the plaque is formed. The plaque is the beginning of the end. This plaque will favor the formation of the clot that will trigger your heart attack or your stroke.
A low fiber diet will decrease your colon acidity and deprive your healthy bacterial intestinal flora from the necessary nutrients. Celiac, IBS, Allergies & more are a result of this lack in health and nutrition.
Osteoporosis has a lot to do with high animal protein diets as well as your high consumption of phosphorus rich soda drinks. Did you know that soda is 3,000 times more acidic than water, not to mention the massive amounts of sugar. High refined carbohydrates will increase your calcium loss through the urine. Lack of activity will speed it up.
Stay Healthy, It's Simple
Learning how to stay healthy is simple; doing it takes effort, commitment & some work.
First of all, food should be consumed in its most natural way. Processed foods end up being poor nutritional sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fibers.
These types of foods are filled with "empty" calories which cause additional cravings, addictions & overeating. Trace elements play a major role as a co-factor with antioxidants in the metabolism and integrity of organ functionality. Fibers bind toxins and nourish the growth of good bacteria in the intestines. Keeping your intestines healthy is of the utt mot importance because 80% of our immune system is in our intestinal tract referred to as "intestinal immunity". Fortunately, our body has a very sophisticated antioxidant system to fight the negative effects of nature.
With the help of a healthy life-style as well as appropriate nutrition and excellent supplementation our body can minimize the effects of oxidation and reverse or prevent dis-ease.
Every single testimonial on this site is due to people's bodies healing through super-saturated nutrition. From Sarcoidosis to Psoriasis our bodies get "out of whack" and then dis-ease is the result. I meet people everyday who are tired of suffering & want to be healthy again. I give them information and options and many of them choose to continue popping pills to "feel" better.
These supplements, referred to as the Triangle of Life are simply super-saturated extracts from naturally growing, powerful foods. They can complement almost every drug treatment for any disease and add health and nutrition back into your life.
Enjoy your life, save your time & money & Stay healthy!

Toxins In Personal Care Products
Toxins Found In Personal Care Products
Before I share this list of dangerous and deadly toxins found in personal care products like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, cosmetics, lotion, & more I want to make sure everyone reading realizes the words natural, pure, organic, botanical, herbal, etc. mean NOTHING in the personal care industry. I learned this after buying Tom's of Maine toothpaste and deodorant without reading the ingredients. I just trusted the label and was willing to pay more for "natural" (& what I thought meant safe, toxin free) products.
As a concerned consumer I started researching companies that claimed to make safe personal care products. What they put in their products was no different than the toxic ones I was buying. The only thing that changed was the price! Why? The more I researched the more frustrated I became. We are smothering ourselves, our children & our environment with a chemical cocktail, scientifically proven to cause neurological & endocrine disruption, cancer, degenerative disease and more!
Avoid These Toxins In Personal Care Products
Please share this post with those you care about and let's clean up our bathrooms and our environment at the same time!
Women have four times the toxins as men because we have about 10% more body fat than men & store more fat-soluble toxic materials. These toxins in personal care products have been tentatively linked to breast cancer and hormone disruption. Women transfer toxins to children in utero and through breast milk, which some researchers suggest can affect fetal development and childhood growth. Ref: Women's Foundation of California
Toxins In Personal Care Products:
1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Laureth(SLES) –in shampoo, soap, toothpaste, facial cleansers, car washes, garage floor cleaners & engine degreasers and in 90% of products that foam.
2. PROPYLENE GLYCOL –used in cosmetics, hair care, food, deodorant
industrial and RV antifreeze, brake fluid, concrete additive, tobacco products.
Many deodorant formulations contain a higher amount of propylene glycol than industrial applications (Tom's of Maine is one of them). Topical application to injured skin or intravenous administration has sometimes been associated with Lactic acidosis, Comas , Seizures & Renal Failure. Linked to: Central Nervous System Effects, Metabolic Effects & Poisoning
Ref: ATSDR Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Ref: Reprotext2004
UK scientists have claimed: In their analysis of 20 breast tumors found high concentrations of para-hydroxybenzoicacids (parabens) in 18 samples.
3.PARABENS -(Mehtyl, Isobutyl, Ethyl-, Butyl-, Propyl-): used in hair care, lotions,creams, cosmetics, deodorants and soaps. Also used in pet care and food additives. Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. The preservatives are used in many cosmetics and some foods to increase their shelf-life. These preservatives have been shown to cause skin rashes, eye irritation, respiratory irritation, are very harmful if swallowed. (Published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology 2004.)
4. Alph-hydroxyAcids: used in cosmetics, skin creams & facial peels -causes redness, peeling & irritation. Should ONLY be used under dermatologist supervision because of dangerous nature.
5. MEA: used in shampoos, body washed, skin creams & shaving gels as a solvent & wetting agent. Shows clear carcinogen activity.
6. DEA (Diethanolamine): used in shampoos, body wash, skin creams, shaving creams.Is a solvent, wetting agent or emulsifier. Is a carcinogen, U.S. Dept of Health's National Toxicology Program suggests warning labels on all products containing DEA
7. Dioxin: a hidden unlabeled ingredient commonly found in plastic bottles, lotions & shampoos. Known carcinogen & endocrine disruptor.
8. Flouride: used in toothpaste to help prevent decay.
Studies suggest it contributes to bone disease, may be a carcinogen. In high doses flouridecan be fatally toxic. Children are known to swallow ½ of the toothpaste during brushing!
9. Benzophenones: used in personal care products & sunscreens to protect fragrances from UV light damage. Is a derivative of highly toxic Benzene & are known eye, skin & respiratory irritants.
10. Formalin or Formaldehyde: used in nail polish, antiperspirant, perfumes, dyes, shampoos & more.Is a carcinogen & neurotoxin that may be fatal if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin.
11. BiphenolA : used as coating or ingredient for bottles, canned food, plastic containers. Link between it & increased risk of diabetes & heart disease. Is an endocrine disruptor & has negative prenatal effects.
12. PABA (Para Amino enzoicAcid): used in sunscreen & as a dietary supplement. Side effects include dry skin, nausea, vomiting, depletion of VitD & carcinogen activity in some people.
13. Phthalates: used in nail polish, hair spray, deodorants & more
Damage liver, kidney, lungs & reproductive system & may be carcinogenic.
14. Quaternuim15 & 51: used in cosmetics & personal care items.
Known allergen that can release formaldehyde. Causes contact dermatitis.
15. TEA (Triethanolamine): used in household cleaners, cosmetics, personal care products. Similar to DEA & MEA, is used to adjust PH levels in cosmetics & modify fatty acids to create the base for cleaners. Causes dry skin & hair, eye problems & toxicity
16. PEG (Polyethylene Glycol): used in cosmetics, shaving cream & personal care products. Considered so toxic that workers are required to wear protective gloves, clothing etc. while disposing. Petroleum derivative that penetrates skin, weakens proteins & cellular structure causing kidney, brain & liver abnormalities.
17. Toluene:used in nail polish. Potential carcinogen & endocrine disruptor which may cause liver & respiratory damage as well as birth defects.
18. Talc:used in cosmetics, baby powders, foot prep. Known carcinogen. Used in the genital area of women leads to a 60% increase in risk of ovarian cancer.
19. Mineral Oil: used in skin care products, cosmetics, etc. to soften & moisturize. Baby oil is 100% mineral oil. Is a petroleum by-product that dries skin, clogs pores which leads to acne & premature aging. It also slows the development of new skin cells.
20. Lanolin: used as a moisturizer in skin creams. Naturally it is NOT harmful but is often contaminated with harmful pesticides & harsh chemicals that are used on the sheep wool from which lanolin comes. The majority of lanolin is contaminated to some degree.
21. Glycerin: used in moisturizers & lotions. It attracts moisture from the air to your skin, but can also attract moisture from your skin, leading to dryness.
22. Aluminum: used in antiperspirants & cosmetics. Possible link between it & central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's.
Ok, there is a list of many of the most dangerous toxins in personal care products as well as some startling information from a man who has devoted his life to formulating 100% toxin free personal care products & informing us all of the hidden dangers of these chemicals.
I hope this post was informative enough to get you to go read the labels of the products you are using and see if they truly are what they claim on the front. Let me know what you find and spread this message to help everyone learn about toxins in personal care products and companies that are taking a stand by making toxin free products.
