Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Ah haha just a shameless WTB! I have an extra RC18R but it's 18th scale. An old Rusty would be perfect.
I have taken my slash over to my gf's a couple times and her little brother is always obsessed with it. His mom doesn't want to buy him one since she thinks it will just end up being $$$ sitting in the garage. I offered to pay for over half, but she doesn't want to budge. She says she thinks he would be way over his head with trying to fix things and such, but I told her I'd teach him whatever and fix anything for free. I don't get it still and they aren't exactly low on cash either. Any of you have an idea why she won't budge because I'm clueless by this point.
Anyways... I was wondering if any of you guys have a rc you want to sell cheaply as in less than $120. He seems to love donuts and jumps. It can't be a car. It probably needs to be 1/10 to 1/12 scale. Brushed is fine, and I have a radio and receiver combo sitting here so you could tear that out if you want. I was hoping someone would have a really old rustler or something sitting around. A monster truck like a Stampede would be fine too.
I'm not trying to make this a sob story but help me earn some brownie points from the parents!

Tips for Planning and Starting a Hedgerow
In general, the two most important steps to creating a hedgerow are selecting the right plants for your goals and establishing the hedge with plenty of care in the first few years after planting. While the cost and labor involved in starting a large hedgerow can be significant, the same is true of most types of fences. But once established, a hedgerow only gets better over time (with little or no additional cost), while a fence inevitably gets worse and eventually needs to be replaced. Here are some more considerations for getting started:
- Identify the main purposes of your hedgerow and choose your plants accordingly. For example, if privacy or screening a view is your goal, Roger Cook of This Old House writes: "Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) is a good choice because it doesn't need pruning to keep its full shape from top to bottom and adapts to a wide range of growing conditions... To get a sense of privacy right away, select specimens that are at least 6 feet tall, with green foliage and moist root balls." (This Old House magazine; July/August 2010; p. 106)
- Be patient; well-planned landscaping takes time to mature. The same is true of hedgerows. The Mississippi State University Extension Service recommends: "...trees and shrubs can be established from container plants. For faster screening, plant shrub species a little closer together than their mature width. Select several species of large trees, smaller trees and shrub types; especially ones with wildlife benefits. To minimize watering and maintenance requirements, plant in the fall or winter and use tough plant species that require little care."
Rebecca Knapp offered these additional tips about designing with hedgerows:
- "(Be aware of) visibility of cars and pedestrians as they meet at alleys and driveways. I design hedgerows to end at a good distance from the street and sidewalk in order to maintain sightlines.
- In the front yard, I try to keep the mailman's path open with step stones through the bed so he doesn't have to trample over the plantings.
- If trees are included, plant them in odd numbers; one tree is fine, but instead of doing two, it looks better to use three. The decision to plant trees is often based on space. Narrow trees are handy in smaller yards.
- A low foreground element, like perennials, can be a nice way to transition back from a tall hedgerow to your lawn. Alternatively, if the hedge is only about 3 feet tall, it can look especially clean and crisp without perennials in front.
- Hedgerows don't have to be straight; you can wiggle the plants forward and backward to create interest and make it less formal. Mixing evergreen and deciduous plants is a good idea for year-round interest and screening. Trees with berries or those that hold their leaves all winter (such as oaks) can add another dimension to the hedge."
For more information on choosing the right plants and starting a hedgerow, consult a local landscape architect or designer, or call your nearest extension service for recommendations and referrals.

Introduction to heart transplant
The idea of replacing a bad organ with a good one has been documented in ancient mythology. The first real organ transplants were probably skin grafts that may have been done in India as early as the second century B.C. The first heart transplant in any animal is credited to Vladimer Demikhov. Working in Moscow in 1946, Demikhov switched the hearts between two dogs. The dogs survived the surgery. The first heart transplant in human beings was done in South Africa in 1967 by Dr. Christiaan Barnard; the patient only lived 18 days. Most of the research that led to successful heart transplantation took place in the United States at Stanford University under the leadership of Dr. Norman Shumway. Once Stanford started reporting better results, other centers started doing heart transplants. However, successful transplantation of a human heart was not ready for widespread clinical application until medications were developed to prevent the recipient from "rejecting" the donor heart. This happened in 1983 when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a drug called cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral). Before the advent of cyclosporine, overall results of heart transplant were not very good.
What is a heart transplant?
Believe it or not, heart transplantation is a relatively simple operation for a cardiac surgeon. In fact, the procedure actually consists of three operations.
The first operation is harvesting the heart from the donor. The donor is usually an unfortunate person who has suffered irreversible brain injury, called "brain death". Very often these are patients who have had major trauma to the head, for example, in an automobile accident. The victim's organs, other than the brain, are working well with the help of medications and other "life support" that may include a respirator or other devices. A team of physicians, nurses, and technicians goes to the hospital of the donor to remove donated organs once brain death of the donor has been determined. The removed organs are transported on ice to keep them alive until they can be implanted. For the heart, this is optimally less than six hours. So, the organs are often flown by airplane or helicopter to the recipient's hospital.
The second operation is removing the recipient's damaged heart. Removing the damaged heart may be very easy or very difficult, depending on whether the recipient has had previous heart surgery (as is often the case). If there has been previous surgery, cutting through the scar tissue may prolong and complicate removal of the heart.
The third operation is probably the easiest; the implantation of the donor heart. Today, this operation basically involves the creation of only five lines of stitches, or "anastomoses". These suture lines connect the large blood vessels entering and leaving the heart. Remarkably, if there are no complications, most patients who have had a heart transplant are home about one week after the surgery. The generosity of donors and their families makes organ transplant possible.

New tyres = easy to move again! Purchasing the new set of wheels has made our pram like new again. I bought the pram secondhand and discovered the front wheel didn't pivot easily and the back ones were bulging when fully inflated. New tyres have made all of the difference!

Explorer Wheels

When my daughter bought a double buggy with pneumatic tyres, I thought it was a bad move. It was......
At one point she let the tyre pressures drop, and went out with them at low pressure. Needless to say the kerb edges damaged the rims, creating a weak spot on both of the rear wheels. After pumping up the tyres, the rim bead ripped on the outside edge of those wheels. Considering they're made of plastic, hardly surprising. Another piece of bad design is while the tyres are clearly marked with a maximum pressure of 35 PSI, in tiny little raised lettering on the wheels (difficult to make out) it's marked that the maximum pressure the wheel rims can handle is 22 PSI. Potential for more damage issues there, I feel. Recommendation: Ditch the pneumatic tyres, fit solid tyres instead. Less to go wrong, you see. As it was, had my 2 grandchildren stranded at the roadside while I made my way to them, and even THEN the buggy wheels blew out.
So easy!

New wheels arrived today (earlier than I thought they would) and after having fitted them, the stroller moves so freely, no wobble! I assume this is what they should have been like when I bought the pram new, but I thought the wobble was because of the way the tyres were blown up. Turns out they've always had a dent on the rims. I just wish I'd realised while the pram was new and I wouldn't have had to fork out $140...

While the replacement wheel is working great the underlying reason that I had to replace the wheel is very frustrating. This is the second wheel that I have had go bad due to the rim warping and no longer holding the tire in place. I would think an altered design or a different material should be used in order to prevent this from happening. Otherwise we have been extremely pleased with our Explorer stroller and it works great for our 3 1/2 year old and our 15 month old using the dual seats.
Fantastic and easy to install.

The best feature about this 12 inch wheel was it was round. It fitted perfectly as it was identical to the old wheel. However I was disappointed there wasn't a selection of tyre colours to choose from, or the ability to pick a coloured valve cap, so we could really pimp the kids' ride :)

The stroller is great. It handles well, the kids love it, and it is even cool looking. And I like the real wheels for a smooth ride. But why the terrible plastic rims? The tires bulge out because there is very little lip on the cheap rims. I can figure out why they would skimp on the most important aspect of a good stroller.
Rear wheel blowout . . .

24. mai 20131/5
I have had nothing but good to say about this stroller, it is WONDERFUL and I would NEVER even consider getting a different one, that said, I must share a remarkable story, the reason for my having to replace a rear wheel and axel. I was pumping up the tires yesterday and read that on the outside of the tire it says max. 35 PSI . . . the gauge on my pump said 25 when there was a loud POP and the inner tube had cracked the plastic wheel casing and the inner tube was shredded! Upon further investigation I realized that on the inside of the wheel itself it read "Max 25 PSI"!!! Anyway, thats my story and why I rated this particular part 2 stars. Some uniformity in max PSI would have prevented this disaster. Thanks for having replacement parts readily available. I am still VERY pleased with our Phil and Teds experience overall.

McConnell breathes life back into Senate cyber bill
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 8:12pm EST
The leading Senate Republican is breathing new life into getting a comprehensive cybersecurity bill passed this year.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ken.) said on the Senate floor that he expects to bring the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 back up for consideration with amendments after the Senate completes work on the Defense Authorization and Intelligence Authorization bills.
"The Senate will hopefully move to a full and open debate of the National Defense Authorization Act," he said. "During the time that the bill is considered on the floor, and I do expect that bill to be subject to an open amendment process, my hope is that the Majority Leader [Harry Reid] will work with me to reach an agreement on allowing a debate on cybersecurity legislation with Republican amendments in order, especially since the ranking members of the Armed Services, Intelligence, Commerce, and Judiciary committees are all co-sponsors of a cybersecurity bill that needs to be considered as part of this debate."
Reid pronounced the bill dead Wednesday night after the Senate failed to end cloture by getting 60 votes. The motion to end cloture passed, but only 51 to 47 — it needed a three-fifths majority to end the filibuster threat.
McConnell reiterated the need to have a full and open debate on the cyber bill, and let lawmakers contemplate amendments.
During the cloture debate, the Democrats were willing to allow amendments. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), who is a main author of the bill, said Reid was open to a limited amount of amendments, less than 15.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he thinks there is a way to get the bill through the process.
"I still believe if we could have, say, five amendments, that could be voted on and debated, I think we could move forward with this bill. I really believe that," McCain said. "I would like to see right after the vote if we could reach some agreement between the leaders and ourselves that there would be five pending amendments and we could vote on those. I think we have some very significant differences, but the chairman and two co-chairs have worked incredibly hard on this issue and they deserve debate. I hope they would understand we are seeking like five amendments."
But despite this agreement on amendments, there were too many other concerns and not enough support to get to 60 votes.
A blog post by the Heritage Foundation's David Inserra said part of the reason the motion to end cloture didn't get passed is there are too many questions about the regulatory process outlined in the bill and not enough was done to alleviate long-standing concerns about issues such as information sharing.
Inserra said the Obama administration should not issue the planned executive order on cyber.
"[T] he administration should focus on more nimble and less costly solutions, such as information sharing," he wrote. "Information sharing provides the government and the private sector with up-to-date warnings against cyber threats and vulnerabilities while costing nearly nothing. Since both the Senate and House agreed that information sharing is important, sharing, not regulation, should serve as the basis for a meaningful and bipartisan cybersecurity bill during the next Congress."

Tribal survivors of rape gather to lift our sisters up
Genna Martin / The Herald
Carolyn Moses (left) and Judge Theresa Pouley acted as witnesses during a healing event called "Lifting Our Sisters Up" held at the Hibulb Cultural Center longhouse in Tulalip on Wednesday. More than 50 women gathered to discuss violence against native women, share personal accounts of struggle and give support to each other.

Tulalip women link arms and share names of friends and family that are in their thoughts during a healing event called "Lifting Our Sisters Up" held at the Hibulb Cultural Center longhouse on Wednesday. More than 50 women gathered to discuss violence against native women, share personal accounts of struggle and give support to each other.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Tulalip Vice Chair Deborah Parker speaks during a healing event Wednesday called "Lifting Our Sisters Up" held at the Hibulb Cultural Center longhouse in Tulalip. More than 50 women gathered to discuss violence against native women, share personal accounts of struggle and give support to each other.
More than 50 women and girls, elders to middle schoolers, crowded together on plank seats. For their ancestors, a longhouse was a place to hear stories. At Wednesday's gathering, called "Lifting Our Sisters Up," they listened and shared.
"The blankets are to cover you for protection," said Deborah Parker, vice chairwoman of the Tulalip Tribes.
Then Chinook told her harrowing story, an account of being raped -- by a non-Indian -- on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon.
"I am a survivor of 13 rapes," said Chinook, who works for the Tulalips' Legacy of Healing, a victims' advocacy program. Years ago, she tried hiding her pain in a fog of substance abuse. "Why did I make myself so vulnerable? Many women you see in Indian country who are hard-drinking, those are women carrying that kind of pain," Chinook said.
It was a piercing, personal memory. And a camera was rolling.
A French film crew was in the longhouse Wednesday working on a documentary that will air on the Canal Plus network. "It's like the HBO of France," said Sabrina Van Tassel, the filmmaker visiting Tulalip with camerman Cyril Thomas. Van Tassel said the short film will air on a French show called "Butterfly Effect," which examines issues in other countries.
The film's subject is the Violence Against Women Act, which U.S. senators voted Tuesday to reauthorize. It's legislation first passed in 1994. The law includes money for prosecution of violent crimes against women.
Last year, House Republicans did not support its renewal. One big reason the House rejected the measure was a new provision that would allow tribal police and courts to pursue and try non-Indians who attack women on tribal land. Federal law enforcement has jurisdiction in such cases, but access is limited at the very least by distance.
Legislation passed Tuesday by the Senate includes the tribal provisions. The House is now expected to take up the Violence Against Women Act, and Parker is pushing for equal treatment of crimes that happen on Indian reservations.
Last April, the Tulalips' vice chairwoman was in Washington, D.C., where she spoke at a press conference with U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., in support of the law, which died in 2012 without a House vote. Interviewed in December by Herald writer Rikki King, Murray said Parker has become "the voice and face" of the issue. "I know it's taken a lot of courage on her part, and I know it's making a difference," Murray said.
As she did in the nation's capital, Parker shared her own nightmarish stories in the longhouse Wednesday.
"My aunt was being abused when I was baby-sitting her children. She was brutally raped," Parker said. All she could do, she said, was protect the children by hiding with them in a closet. Parker also remembers being raped as a small child. "I was the size of a couch cushion," she said. "I was choked and I was raped. I tell my story so that others can receive healing," she said.
Parker stood beside her teenage daughter, Kayah George, and said "I can place one more woman beside me, and one of us will be raped."
Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., quoted by The New York Times on Sunday, cited statistics showing that tribal women are two and a half times more likely than other American women to be raped, with 1 in 3 Indian women becoming victims of sexual assault.
The French film crew has also done interviews on the Rosebud and Yankton Sioux reservations in South Dakota. "A lot of people ask why, why would French people want to know about this?" said Van Tassel. "Why wouldn't they?"
Among four honored witnesses to Wednesday's gathering, which included traditional songs and prayers, was the Tulalip Tribal Court's Chief Judge Theresa Pouley. The court is part of the Northwest Intertribal Court System, established in 1979.
Pouley is a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. "Let tribal court judges take care of crime on reservations. This isn't about tribal court judges. This is about protecting our women," Pouley said.
"I'm a Washington State Bar Association member. I should have to prove I'm competent or capable? Really? It's time to stop having that conversation," the judge said. "I never want to say to my granddaughter, 'There's a 1 in 3 chance you'll be raped, sweetie.'"

Best pair of baggies I have yet to find. Purchased 3 pair just in case they decide to change. Comfortable enough for my daily ride into work and rugged enought for weekend single track through the woods.

Make it your design!
Since this product was customizable I was able to personalize the card with my photos and colors making it my own. You have different paper options too! It was nice to know the family and friends I sent Christmas greetings to did not receive the same Christmas card from someone else. Thank you MagnetStreet!
Great Card
I was very happy with our Christmas Cards. I liked how I could coordinate the color of the card with the picture that I was using. I like that there is a message on the back of the card and I could modify it. The card is a heavier card than a lot of cards that I have seen which I also liked. We will be ordering next year's Christmas cards from MagnetStreet.

#11 Men's Lacrosse Downs #13 Dominican to Stay Undefeated at Home
March 11, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - A ten day break was just what the #11 Pfeiffer men's lacrosse team needed to get back on track with their winning ways, welcoming the #13 Dominican University of California to the Village of Misenheimer and N.E. Lefko Field. Pfeiffer dominated all but the middle two quarters en route to a 21-13 defeat of the Penguins. With the win the Falcons improve to 4-1, handing Dominican (2-1) their first loss of the season.
Pfeiffer scored four straight goals to open the first frame, waiting over five minutes to notch their first one and then never letting up. Second quarter scoring was extremely close with Pfeiffer only squeaking out one more goal than the visiting team, making the score at the end of two, 9-5 in favor of the Falcons. The third period was closer still, with each team scoring five apiece and Dominican remaining within four goals of the home team.
By the time the final stanza had begun, the Falcons had decided that their home field must be defended. Pfeiffer scored seven goals in the fourth quarter, three of which were credited to redshirt-junior Tucker Hammock who finished with a game-high seven tallies. Hammock leads the team in goals with 20 so far this season accounting for almost a quarter of the team's season goals, and boasting a .435 season shot percentage. Senior Hayden Kirk picked up the win in goal for Pfeiffer, snatching 13 saves to improve his season total to 46. Seniors Spencer Allen and Stephen Tilmon led all players in the assist column with three apiece.
The Falcons hope to continue their winning ways when they welcome Lake Erie to N.E. Lefko Field on March 15th for a non-conference matchup. Start is set for 1:00 p.m.

In 2009, leading into the November 3 election, Californians had previously voted on local ballot measures on 15 different occasions: January 13, February 24, March 3, March 10, April 21, May 5, May 19, June 2, June 9, June 16, June 23, June 30, July 21, August 25 and August 28. The final local ballot measure election date was December 15.
Political topics
Land use
- Nine ballot measures to tighten or loosen land use and zoning regulations were on the November 3 ballot. These were among the more contentious local measures on the ballot.
School bonds
- It was a slow election for school bonds, with only three on the November 3 ballot. That brings the annual total to four. That compares to November 2008 when there were 96 school bond measures on the ballot (almost all of which were approved).
- 16 parcel tax votes took place on November 3. This brought the 2009 total to 43. Voters approved 19 of the 27 parcel tax measures that were on the ballot earlier in 2009, or approximately 70% of them.
- 5 of the November parcel tax measures were for city parcel taxes. Three of these extended an existing tax. These three measures were approved. The other two requested a new tax. Both of these measures were defeated.
- 11 of the November parcel tax measures were for schools. 7 of them passed.
- Five sales tax measures were on the November ballot. This brought the annual total to nine. Voters rejected all four of the previous four 2009 local sales tax ballot questions.
- November 3 utility user taxes. There were 13 of these on the November ballot. Ten were approved, and three were defeated. Eight had already been voted on in 2009, for a total of 21 on the year. Considering the entire year, 4 failed and 17 were approved.
- November 3 hotel taxes. Voters in thirteen areas voted on whether to increase the hotel taxes paid by visitors. Voters had previously grappled with three of these measures, defeating one of them.
- November 3 business taxes. There were five on the November ballot. Earlier in the year, voters in Beverly Hills defeated Measure P.
- Eleven ballot measures relating to elections and voting rights are on the November 3 ballot. One popular measure has to do with whether to elect or appoint city officials. Several, such as Measure I in Burlingame, are controversial.
Some interesting ballot measures on local ballots around California on November 3 included:

With Halloween just around the corner, you might be tempted to make your cat or dog a star by dressing him up in the cutest mini-sized costume you can find. But wait—is trick-or-treat apparel really safe for your furry friends?
Our experts suggest putting your pet in a costume only if you're sure he will enjoy it. Some pets love the limelight: wearing a costume and posing for pictures is a blast! Others prefer to stick to their birthday suits for all occasions, and being dressed like a pumpkin for their pet parents' amusement can cause unnecessary stress.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are some helpful safety tips to keep in mind:
- Your pet's Halloween garb should not constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, you'll want to ditch the mini-pirate hat and vest.
- Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
- IDs, please! Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
For a complete list of animal safety guidelines for this spooky holiday, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips for pet parents.
Tell us: Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween?
My dog is thrilled to dress up. She gets extremely happy when she sees any type of clothing so costumes are in the same line. And as long as we keep an eye on her I don't see the problem in that. I wouldn't force a dog to dress up if they were not 100% comfortable with it though.
Our little guy loves his jackets! How do we know because he knows what they are called & gets excited when we ask him if he wants to wear one! He is a Jack Russel & gets cold more than any dog I've ever had, he shakes, so we think he appreciates them. Besides when we take them off he is hesitant to let us take it off & then looks admiringly at it like he wants it back!
He loves all of his things though very appreciative pup!
I wouldn't be surprised if you were PETA themselves, If grooming a dog (which btw a lot of animals love an it keeps them healthy, is too hard for you or you don't have the time, please consider a turtle. Anyway, dogs an even some cats like dressing up, its not for "our " enjoyment, its for their enjoyment, too. My
Male kitten Moose will do anything for attn and I don't think he would be phased by a simple shirt or lose cape. I agree with Lighten up.
For my dog, I would never put him in a costume. He would try to tear it up and pick at it all night. It wouldn't be fun for him. But for other dogs, I mean if they like it and if you follow the rules then why not. Only if it's safe though. And I wouldn't bring my dog trick- or- treating anyway, cuz he'd just bark at everybody and try to run away so there's no point in dressing him up.
Something doesn't sit right with me whenever I see someone's creature companion dressed up, even if the animal seems to 'enjoy' it. I have to go with that gut feeling,so I would NEVER put a costume on any pet.
I have a cat and a lop rabbit and enther like to dress up. When my cat had stiches she hated the cone. To keep her from licking the stiches I found a preemee onesee and moditfide it so she could potty on her own. Since then no clothing for her. As for the rabbit I have a hard time with the small animal harness so I don't think a costume is going to chance it's mind to wear clothing.
I wud never dress my pet in a costume, there is no way any dog or cat would like that....it's strictly for the humans.
Please! Abuse! If they don't mind, then its OK. My one little chiweenie hates to have anything on but her birthday suit, which is fine, but my pom loves to wear clothes. It just depends on the dog. Obviously,if they are uncomfortable, then don't do it. It's just common sense.
Both of mine could easily go as homeless. Big sign around the neck "will work for food"

|About Pure Inventions
Pure Inventions is the creation of lifelong friends Lynne Gerhards and Lori Mulligan both Certified Clinical Nutritionists and Nutritional Consultants. Founded in 2003, Pure Inventions is the true pioneer of nutritional, liquid supplements in the beauty field and a trendsetter in the healthy lifestyle industry.
The history of Pure Inventions parallels the growth of nutritional awareness in the United States and across the world. Lori and Lynne started their practice of clinical counseling in nutrition and soon became very aware of the increasing need for healthy alternative beverage choices. Combining their knowledge of nutrition with the science of liquid supplements they decided to develop their own line, thus Pure Inventions was born.
The main goal of developing Pure Inventions was to achieve the wellness of the whole person in a way that was easy, convenient and would be simple to incorporate into a hectic lifestyle.
All of the product lines (Green Tea Extracts, Antioxidant Fruit Extracts, Pure Antioxidant Cocoa) in the Pure Inventions collection are delicious tasting, all natural, fully standardized, and non-caloric and caffeine free. The delivery system (60 servings in a 2 and 4 ounce glass bottles) is eco-friendly and convenient. Just add to your favorite water for high antioxidant hydration.
When we supply our bodies with the proper nutrients, diet and exercise we achieve balance in our bodies and in our lives. We can then achieve our highest aspirations of health, wellness and peak performance. The combination of proper hydration (water!) and the free-radical fighting properties of antioxidants is a virtual powerhouse for your immune system.
Why Antioxidants? Antioxidants are nature's protection powerhouse.
Studies have shown that they play a key role in living a longer and healthier life. Antioxidants fight free radical damage, boost our immunity, and keep skin healthy. Emerging science has shown that antioxidants may help protect our bodies from stress-related illness and the effects stress and aging have on our bodies.
Every day, free radicals are released into the body due to aging, pollution, and other external factors. Free radical damage is the primary cause of aging and related diseases. The combination of proper hydration (water!) and the free-radical fighting properties of antioxidants is a virtual powerhouse for your immune system.
Green tea is one of the most powerful antioxidants known! By one estimate, green and white teas have 10 times the amount of antioxidants found in some fruits and veggies.
THE ADDED BENEFIT? Pure Inventions products have great taste, with no caffeine, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no calories and no gluten.

Ever since European seaports closed their gates to Iranian oil tankers last summer, Iran has looked to the East to keep its economy afloat. Countries such as China, India and South Korea — some of them critics of Western sanctions — have offered Iran a lifeline of reliable markets and much-needed dollars.But perhaps not for long. In just over two weeks, the Obama administration will begin enforcing a little-noticed statute that could dry up one of Iran's largest remaining sources of oil income, U.S. officials say. Beginning Feb. 6, Iran still will get paid for the oil it delivers to Asian markets, from Mumbai to Shanghai to Pusan — only not in cash.The law, part of a package of sanctions approved last year, requires that foreign governments keep any payments for Iranian oil locked up i

A Camp Lejeune Marine was charged with murder and is under suicide watch in the Onslow County Jail late Wednesday after his infant son died earlier in the day.
Two-month-old Deklin John King spent his final moments in a hospital bed after doctors removed life support at Wednesday. By , he was dead.
His father Sgt. Jordan Thomas King, who was in jail on a child abuse count, was charged by the Onslow County Sheriff's Office with an open count of murder. He was previously charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury.
King, 27, is an electrical systems technician with Combat Logistics Battalion 22, according to base officials. He joined the Corps in 2008.
He has two sons with Amanda Eversole. Deklin was born Nov. 18, according to the Onslow County Register of Deeds.
In 2010, King purchased a home on
King stands accused of fracturing his son's skull in two places and causing severe bruising on the back of his head, according to arrest warrants.
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said toddlers often receive those types of injuries because they are crying and a frustrated parent loses his or her temper.
"I would suggest to parents that before they reach that stage of anger that they call a friend, family member or anyone to help calm them down," Brown said.
King was under special watch and being kept in an anti-suicide smock Wednesday night, according an official involved in the case.

Authorities say that at approximately 5 p.m. on Feb. 8, the medical staff at the Naval Hospital called the Onslow County Sheriff's Office to report a child abuse case.
Detective Sgt. Lucinda Hernandez and Detective Sgt. Robert Spade were assigned to investigate the case, according to information from the OCSO. Both detectives spoke with the hospital medical person on the matter and were told the father, Jordan King, had brought the child to the hospital. Jordan King was at the hospital and so was the two month old when the detectives arrived.
That afternoon, the infant was air lifted to Pitt Memorial.
Detectives interviewed Jordan King. Naval Criminal Investigative Services aboard Camp Lejeune assisted the sheriff's office detectives. Information developed from the interview that produced probable cause sufficient to support charging Jordan King with felony child abuse of intentionally inflicting serious physical injury. Detectives escorted Jordan King before the magistrate to have a criminal warrant issued. He was incarcerated in jail under a $25,000 bond and was bonded out of jail Saturday morning at approximately 7 a.m.
Jordan King's bond was increased to $500,000 during his first court appearance.
On Friday, when the two month old arrived at the Pitt Memorial Hospital, the receiving medical staff immediately placed him on a life support system. The physical injuries involved major damage to the vital organs to such extent that the future life of the victim could not be sustained without the life support system.
At 11 a.m. today, the life support system was removed. At 1 p.m. the infant died.
A Richlands man charged with child abuse over the weekend has been charged with murder in his son's death.
Jordan Thomas King, 27, of Kennebec Lane, was charged Wednesday with murder in the death of two-month-old Deklin John King, according to warrants.
King was accused of fracturing the infant's skull in two places and causing severe bruising on the back of the head, according to warrants.
Bond was denied.
King's first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday morning.

Some people I just don't like, but not always can I quite pin down what irks me about them.
With D'Souza, I have no such problems.
He is an arrogant, petulant little cocksucker, if I have to put it nicely.
It pains me therefore that he may have a point in his recent article on Galileo.
I always thought he was made to recant his statements under torture but D'Souza claims this did not happen.
I Googled this a bit and I am still not sure. Some say he was threatened with torture.
Are there any scholars around that can confirm or hopefully debunk D'Souza's claim ?
Article is below.
Dinesh D'Souza
Is there an irreconcilable conflict between science and religion? Today's outspoken atheists, including Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, seek to set science and religion at odds largely by invoking the Galileo case. For example, Harris, in his book The End of Faith, condemns the Christian church of the Renaissance for "torturing scholars to the point of madness for merely speculating about the nature of the stars."
I intend here to reopen the Galileo case to expose the atheist argument as completely misguided.
Before the 16th century, most educated people accepted the theories of the Greek astronomer Ptolemy, who held that the Earth was stationary and the sun revolved around it. The geocentric universe was a classical, not a Christian, concept. The Christians accepted it - though not because of the Bible. The Bible never says that the sun revolves around the Earth. Christians accepted Ptolemy because he had a sophisticated theory supported by what seemed like common sense (i.e., everything does seem to revolve around the Earth) and that gave reasonably accurate predictions about the motions of heavenly bodies.
The data right up to Galileo's day favored Ptolemy. Historian Thomas Kuhn notes that throughout the Middle Ages, people proposed the heliocentric alternative. "They were ridiculed and ignored," Kuhn writes, adding, "The reasons for the rejection were excellent." The Earth does not appear to move, and we can all witness the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening.
Galileo was a Florentine astronomer highly respected by the Catholic Church. Once a supporter of Ptolemy's geocentric theory, Galileo became convinced that Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was right that the Earth really did revolve around the sun. Copernicus had advanced his theory in 1543 in a book dedicated to the pope. He admitted he had no physical proof, but the power of the heliocentric hypothesis was that it produced vastly better predictions of planetary orbits. Copernicus' new ideas unleashed a major debate within the religious and scientific communities, which at that time overlapped greatly. The prevailing view half a century later, when Galileo took up the issue, was that Copernicus had advanced an interesting but unproven hypothesis, useful for calculating the motions of heavenly bodies but not persuasive enough to jettison the geocentric theory altogether.
Galileo's contribution to the Copernican theory was significant, but not decisive.
Having developed a more powerful telescope than others of his day, Galileo made important new observations about the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and spots on the sun that undermined Ptolemy and were consistent with Copernican theory.
It may surprise some readers to find out that the pope was an admirer of Galileo and a supporter of scientific research being conducted at the time, mostly in church-sponsored observatories and universities. So was the head of the Inquisition, the learned theologian Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. When Galileo's lectures supporting the heliocentric theory were reported to the Inquisition, most likely by one of Galileo's academic rivals in Florence, Cardinal Bellarmine met with Galileo. This was not normal Inquisition procedure, but Galileo was a celebrity. In 1616, he went to Rome with great fanfare, where he stayed at the grand Medici villa, met with the pope more than once, and attended receptions given by various bishops and cardinals.
Bellarmine proposed that, given the inconclusive evidence for the theory and the sensitivity of the religious issues involved, Galileo should not teach or promote heliocentrism. Galileo, a practicing Catholic who wanted to maintain his good standing with the church, agreed. Bellarmine issued an injunction, and a record of the proceeding went into the church files.
For several years, Galileo kept his word and continued his experiments and discussions without publicly advocating heliocentrism. Then he received the welcome news that Cardinal Maffeo Barberini had been named Pope Urban VIII. Barberini was a scientific "progressive," having fought to prevent Copernicus' work from being placed on the index of prohibited books. Barberini was a fan of Galileo and had even written a poem eulogizing him. Galileo was confident that now he could openly preach heliocentrism.
But the new pope's position on the subject was complicated. Urban VIII held that while science can make useful measurements and predictions about the universe, it cannot claim to have actual knowledge of reality known only to God - which comes actually quite close to what some physicists now believe regarding quantum mechanics and is entirely in line with modern philosophical demonstrations of the limits of human reason.
So when Galileo in 1632 published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, the church found itself in a quandary. Galileo claimed to have demonstrated the truth of heliocentrism. Oddly enough, his proof turned out to be wrong. But the book amounted to a return to open heliocentrism, which he had agreed to avoid.
In 1633, Galileo returned to Rome, where he was again treated with respect. He might have prevailed in his trial, but during the investigation someone found Cardinal Bellarmine's notes in the files. Galileo had not told the present Inquisitors - he had not told anyone - of his previous agreement not to teach or advocate Copernicanism. Now he was viewed as having deceived the church as well as having failed to live up to his agreements. Even his church sympathizers, and there were several, found it difficult to defend him at this point.
But they did advise him to acknowledge he had promoted Copernicanism in violation of his pact with Bellarmine, and to show contrition. Incredibly, Galileo appeared before the Inquisition and maintained that his new book did not constitute a defense of heliocentrism. "I have neither maintained or defended in that book the opinion that the Earth moves and that the sun is stationary but have rather demonstrated the opposite of the Copernican opinion and shown that the arguments of Copernicus are weak and not conclusive."
It has been widely repeated that Galileo whispered under his breath, "And yet it moves." Pure fabrication. There are no reports he said anything of the sort. One should be charitable toward his motives here. Perhaps he issued his denials out of weariness and frustration. Even so, the Inquisitors can also be excused for viewing Galileo as a flagrant liar. Galileo's defense, Arthur Koestler writes, was so "patently dishonest that his case would have been lost in any court." The Inquisition concluded Galileo did hold heliocentric views, which it demanded he recant. Galileo did, and he was sentenced to house arrest.
Contrary to the claims of Sam Harris and others, Galileo was never charged with heresy and never placed in a dungeon or tortured. After he recanted, Galileo was released into the custody of the archbishop of Siena, whose terrible punishment was to house him for five months in his own episcopal palace. Then he was permitted to return to his villa in Florence. Although technically under house arrest, he was able to visit his daughters at the Convent of San Mattero. The church also permitted him to continue his scientific work on matters unrelated to heliocentrism, and Galileo published important research during this period.
Galileo died of natural causes in 1642. It was during subsequent decades, Kuhn reports, that newer and stronger evidence for the heliocentric theory emerged, and scientific opinion, divided in Galileo's time, became the consensus we share today.
What can we conclude about the Galileo episode? "The traditional picture of Galileo as a martyr to intellectual freedom and a victim of the church's opposition to science," writes historian Gary Ferngren, "has been demonstrated to be little more than a caricature." The case was an "anomaly," historian Thomas Lessl writes, "a momentary break in the otherwise harmonious relationship" that had existed between Christianity and science.
The church should not have tried Galileo. But his trials were conducted with comparative restraint. Galileo himself acted in bad faith, which no doubt contributed to his fate. Even so, that fate was not so terrible. Alfred North Whitehead, the noted historian of science, concludes from the case that "the worst that happened to men of science was that Galileo suffered an honorable detention and a mild reproof, before dying peacefully in his bed."

When Nubbins the cat was found, he was emaciated, riddled with birdshot, and had tumors hanging from both of his ears. But the minute he was removed from his carrier by his rescuers, he started purring. He knew he was finally safe; relief was here at last.
Dr. Patricia Wagner, a veterinarian at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, performed surgery on the sweet feline and fell in love with his kind demeanor. Soon after, Nubbins joined Dr. Wagner's household. He is incredibly grateful for his second chance and gets along swimmingly with the family's resident parakeet.
In fact, kitty and bird are stars of the 2014 ASPCA calendar. Check out this adorable behind-the-scenes video of Nubbins sitting for his photo shoot.
Have you received your 2014 calendar? Want another one for friends or family? (They make great gifts!) Make a small donation to the ASPCA, and we'll send you our 2014 calendar today. Thank you, as always, for your support. It makes stories like Nubbins' possible.

I LOVE what you stand for and all that you do for all of those who can't speak up for themselves...You have all my support and may God bless the ASPCA. I only wish that I could do more.Thank you for making a difference<3
I want to cry. You can just hear his thank you.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful story & for giving Nubbins a wonderful life.
I cannot hold back the tears watching this video. I am happy for this amazing family and their nubs, but makes me wonder of all suffering "out there".
It sickens me always to hear of how a defenseless animal was treated so cruelly. I am relieved to learn this beautiful cat will have a chance at being treated right and have a good life with Dr Wagner
I once had long hair white cat and a green parakeet. Can't even remember the cats name (some 60 years ago) but while he was sleeping, Chippy would fly down and walk on him. Then he would pull on the hair in the ears with only ear twitching. After that, he pulled the whiskers with no real response..Next he would mess with the toenails which would wake the cat. He would lay and watch Chippy for a while then reach out and trap him under his paw and would lay there listening to Chippy squaking until he lifted his paw and Chippy would fly to his cage.
Thank you Dr. for taking such good care of Nubbins. He deserves the love that you have shown him .and you deserve his thankfulness he must give you everyday. Your cat and parakeet are like brothers . God bless you Dr. for your kind heart and through this opening up the hearts of others.
