Isotonix® Vision Formula with Lutein
Even though there are many vision supplements on the market, only Isotonix Vision Formula with Lutein promotes healthy eyes and vision by providing a powerful package of ingredients using the Isotonix Delivery System.
Isotonix has created an eye health vision formula using zeaxanthin and lutein for eyes' protection, quercetin to help your eyes' lenses, and bilberry to support night vision to help slow the effects of aging on eye health. In addition, Isotonix Vision Formula helps maintain the structural integrity of blood vessels and capillaries, helps support the cells of the retina, and promotes healthy oxygen and nutrient flow to the eyes.
Plus, no other vision supplement on the market delivers all this with the Isotonix Delivery System, meaning these nutrients for the maintenance of healthy eyes get into your body faster and work more effectively than any tablet or pill on the market.

My husband was diagnosed with "dry eyes" several years ago. His eyes ran with tears and he was continuously wiping his eyes. The Dr says that the reason for this is that the tear quality is very poor and doesn't position the eyes even though the were producing a lot of tears. He took the recommended prescription drops for several years. $80 per month co-pay. This helped some but not a lot and his eyes still drained. then we finally could no longer afford the prescription when our insurance would not pay for it any longer. Tried several other things. Then we came across this product. He takes it once a day with the rest of his Isotonix. His eyes no longer drip, and he says the quality of his vision is much improved.

I have been taking this for several months by now. It really helps when I drive at night. The bright lights of the traffic at night don't bother me any more after taking this. Make sure you take this with a meal though. It didn't agree with my stomach when I took it empty-stomached by mistake. Another great product from Market America!
Vitamin A 5,000 IU (Beta-Carotene/Vitamin A pre-cursor)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Sources of vitamin A include organ meats (such as liver and kidney), egg yolks, butter, carrot juice, squash, sweet potatoes, spinach, peaches, fortified dairy products and cod liver oil. Vitamin A is also part of a family of compounds including retinol, retinal and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene, also known as pro-vitamin A, can be converted into vitamin A when additional levels are required. All the body's tissues for general growth and repair need vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to promote healthy night vision, support normal bone growth, and support an antioxidant defense and a healthy immune system.*
Vitamin C 75 mg (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is found in peppers (sweet, green, red, hot red and green chili), citrus fruits, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collards, mustard greens, broccoli, spinach, guava, kiwi fruit, currants and strawberries. Nuts and grains contain small amounts of vitamin C. It is important to note that cooking destroys vitamin C activity.*
Vitamin C is integral in supporting a healthy immune system, promoting cardiovascular health, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and providing an antioxidant defense. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. Therefore, vitamin C must be acquired through diet and supplementation.*
Vitamin E 33 IU (DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl-Acetate)
The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ. Safflower oil contains large amounts of vitamin E (about two thirds of the RDA in ¼ cup), and there are trace amounts in corn oil and soybean oil. Vitamin E is actually a family of related compounds called tocopherols and tocotrienols. Vitamin E is available in a natural or synthetic form. In most cases, the natural and synthetic forms are identical, except the natural form of vitamin E is better absorbed and retained in the body. The natural form of alpha-tocopherol is known as "d-alpha tocopherol." (The natural form is found in Isotonix Multivitamin.) The synthetic "dl-" form is the most common form found in dietary supplements. For those individuals watching their dietary fat consumption, which is relatively common in the world of dieting, vitamin E intake is likely to be low, due to a reduced intake of foods with high fat content.*
The main health benefit of supplemental vitamin E comes from its immune-boosting antioxidant activity. It also promotes normal healingand is known to provide protection for the cardiovascular system. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful fat-soluble antioxidants in the body. In turn, vitamin E protects cell membranes from free radical damage.*
Lutein (7mg) and Zeaxanthin (1.4mg)
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids found together in many fresh fruits and vegetables. Within the eye, they are found as pigments in the macula and retina. Lutein and Zeaxanthin act as antioxidants to protect the eye from free radical damage. They promote pigment density, a critical factor in the health of the macula and retina in relation to the clarity of the lens. They also act as filters of blue-light to promote the health of the photoreceptor cells of the retina. Blue-light wave lengths can generate free radical damage.
Bilberry Extract (50 mg)
Bilberry extract is derived from the leaves and berry-like fruit of a common European shrub closely related to the blueberry. Extracts of the ripe berry are known to contain flavonoid pigments known as anthocyanins. They act as powerful antioxidants. Scientific studies confirm a positive effect on vision and vein issues. Bilberry supports night vision and eases eyestrain while nourishing eye tissue, and supporting healthy circulation in the eye. Many of the bioflavanoids in bilberry have antioxidant effects, supporting the structural integrity of blood vessels and promoting healthy circulation to small capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the eyes. Bilberry extract supports capillaries and while promoting normal healing.
Eyebright 10mg (Euphrasia officinalis)
Eyebright is an annual plant with deeply-cut leaves and small, white or purple flowers variegated with yellow, native to Great Britain. There are over 20 species of eyebright that extend over Europe, Northern and Western Asia, and North America. The health-promoting portion of eyebright comes from fluid extracted just above the root only when the plant is in bloom.
Eyebright has been used by herbalists since the 16th century for promoting eye health.
Chromium 100 mcg (Argininate/Histidinate)
Chromium is found naturally in some cereals, meats, poultry, brewer's yeast, broccoli, prunes mushrooms, fish and beer. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and the maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other fats. Chromium combines to form something in the body called glucose tolerance factor, or GTF, promotes normal blood sugar levels. It is claimed that chromium helps maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Chromium has been shown to help reduce overall body fat, control hunger and suppress appetite. Many people in the weight loss industry view chromium as an integral mineral in weight maintenance. Chromium may also contribute to an increase in lean body and muscle mass.*
Copper 100 mcg (Gluconate)
The richest sources of dietary copper derive from organ meats, seafood, nuts, seeds, wheat bran cereal, whole grain products and cocoa products. Copper may have some antioxidant properties and acts as a component of enzymes in iron metabolism. It is an essential trace mineral. Copper is needed in normal infant development, iron transport, bone strength, cholesterol metabolism, myocardial contractility, glucose metabolism, brain development and immune function.*
Zinc 7 mg (Lactate)
Zinc is largely found in fortified cereals, red meats, eggs, poultry and certain seafood, including oysters. It is a component of multiple enzymes and proteins. It is also involved in the regulation of gene expression. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that has functions in approximately 300 different enzyme reactions. Thus, zinc plays a part in almost all biochemical pathways and physiological processes. More than 90 percent of the body's zinc is stored in the bones and muscles, but zinc is also found in virtually all body tissues. It has been claimed that zinc promotes normal healing, immune function, prostate health and healthy sperm quality. Because zinc is involved in such a great number of enzymatic processes, it has been found to support a large range of functions, including digestion, energy production, growth, cellular repair, collagen synthesis, bone strength, cognitive function and carbohydrate metabolism.*
Quercetin (25 mg)
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that is an excellent antioxidant working synergistically with vitamin C to promote the strength of the intricate blood vessels in the eye. It also helps to maintain lens transparency. Quercetin has been shown to inhibit the enzyme, aldose reductase. Aldose reductase has been known to contribute to poor eye health.
L-Taurine (42 mg)
L-Taurine is a building block for all the other amino acids. It aids in the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells, thus supporting the normal generation of nerve impulses. It is a non-protein amino acid and is found in high amounts in the brain, retina, myocardium, skeletal and smooth muscle, platelets and neutrophils. It is plentiful in the fluids of muscle, lungs and nerve tissue. Dietary taurine mainly comes from animal food sources. Taurine is also present, in lower levels, in plant food sources like seaweed. It is classified as an essential amino acid and supports micelle formation and fat absorption. Further, it promotes alertness, mental energy and focus. Taurine also has antioxidant properties and supports stable membranes. It may also help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. It helps protect the eyes from the harmful effects of UV light and promotes the health of the membranes in the cones cells of the eye. It also helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. *
Lycopene (2 mg)
Fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, pink grapefruit and watermelon receive their red pigmentation from a carotene called Lycopene. Lycopene is one of the carotenes and a member of the carotenoid family. Lycopene offers a wide range of benefits in helping maintain healthy cardiovascular health, prostate health and powerful antioxidant. More recent research suggests that lycopene, like beta-carotene, may play an important role in keeping vision healthy by preventing cataracts and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Posted: March 11, 2014|
LIVE in Gloucestershire and want to find out more about the county's main city?
If so, you're in for a few exclusive days of special treats later this month when the Residents' Weekend returns.
It's designed to celebrate the rich heritage of Gloucester and the only criteria for you to join in is that you have a GL postcode.
The weekend will be held from March 28-30 to give residents the chance to discover their home city and enjoy exclusive offers and savings at the three-day event, which has been organised by Marketing Gloucester.

Gloucester Civic Trust is running a number of free guided tours over the weekend.
Hugh Worsnip from the trust will be carrying out many of the tours during the weekend.
He said: "The main intention of the event is to build the civic pride. Many years ago people did not have a good thing to say about Gloucester, though the city has so much history and that is why we are doing this event.
"We want to try and raise awareness of the history and bring this into schools as well. Throughout the weekend we will be doing tours such as Robert Raikes, a tour of the docks, Llanthony Secunda Priory, St Mary de Crypt and much more. On the Saturday we will be holding a children's tour.
"Although all our tours are free, we do advise people to book before hand by visiting our website or Marketing Gloucester."

The Relaxation Den which opened at the end of last year will be providing beauty treatments at The Eastgate shopping centre.
Heather James, who owns the salon in Clarence Street, said: "We are going to be offering hand and foot massages and eyebrow threading. It is a great way to recognise what is in Gloucester."
Jason Smith, chief executive of Marketing Gloucester, said: "We're delighted to see that this year's Residents' Weekend event is even bigger than in previous years with a record number of retailers and organisations participating.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for the residents of Gloucester to explore their city and discover some of the fantastic attractions on their doorstep. Whether it's a fun-filled day out with the family, discovering more about Gloucester's rich heritage or enjoying fantastic discounts in shops and restaurants around the city, there's something on offer to appeal to everyone."
Chairman of Marketing Gloucester and leader of Gloucester City Council, Paul James, said: "Residents' Weekend is a great opportunity to thank residents for supporting the city, and to encourage them to use its businesses, attractions, facilities and services even more. We want people in Gloucester to feel justifiably proud of their city and to spread the word about how much we have to offer here, as they are the best ambassadors."
To access the great offers during Residents' Weekend people can pick up a Resident's Card which will be available from mid-March, or download the form at thecityofgloucester.co.uk/residents

I think its time for a change.
Well 3 years owning a dodge im ready to come back to a ford. This thread im hoping to be very nice and we could compare and contrast some of the goods from a 2010 dodge 6.7 to a 2013 f350 6.7. I sold my 2002 3 yrs ago and bought this dodge rigth when the 6.7s first came out. I was not buying a new engine cause i know how that works sometimes. I wasnt buying a 6.4 being all the rad issue and injector issues they where having with seals leaking and that terrible fuel in oil bs. At the time i was making less money and could get a big horn dodge cheaper so went with a 2010 2500 crew short bed 6 speed g56. This was a mistake in its self cause i really wanted a mega laramie this was alot before the laramie limited and longhorn. This time ill be doing that all right.
Now im no longer in the ford diesle loop being this isnot a Navistar built product BUT i do alot of work for a Company Select Energy services and they just so happen to have a whole fleet of 2011 f2 3 450s and they have had very very very few issues with the engines. Seems they have issues with power windows more that anything. That being said i feel the 6.7 has stood the test of time 3 yrs running very few issues.
Now my dodge is far from stock as well. I invested alot of money into it and its now a 48re conversion runs about 12.1 in the quarter to save a longer story. This is no longer practical and want something i can start a family with better if i wanna take the truck and something without a stack for noise for a kid(although i love my SS) I do not plan on doing any kind of deletes or anything i dont have the time to mess with it anymore nor do i even want to.
Something i have liked about the dodge stock was how good the exhaust braker works. Does the ford perform as well? HAve heard no from people and not that it really matters still a question i have some you guys. The in floor storage was something i like and dislike on the dodge. Is great for caring things but terrible when it came time to mount my air dog. Big fan of the mirror set up and no i dont leave them flipped up.LOL Ease of working on them is one of the greastest things. But i wont worry about that since i dont plan on modding it.
One thing i dont like at all is there is no fold flat seating on a crew just a mega flod flat. Stock auto trans shifts like pure garbage i mean garbage its utterly terrible by all means feels like a 1960 olds! This is one reason i bought a g56. The cruise control is mounted on some sort of weird stock mounted to the wheel. Although they changed this in 2011 its still weird but ive grown to adapt to it. Door panels vibrate when play music louder. Lacks power stock when not towing. Never did ride as i expected. My 2002 f350 sb crew rode better.
So being i have stated the goods and bads about the dodge i can state some goods and bads about the 2013 ford when i get one. Im due to sell my dodge the 25th of this month then once its gone and things settle a lil im gonna hunt for a ford. I was allabout the king ranch for years but this truck is going to be a Platinum crew cab 8ft bed. A few options that are a must for me are the upfitter switchs,rapid cab heat, heavy frnt suspensions to avoid a leveling kit, block heater, cab lights, bed mat, and stowable bed extender. Im kinda stuck on a color issue. I really like the blue jeans color alot. I havent seen one in person yet to tell if i really like it. Black is nice and then the other color i like alot is the platwhite. so really its between Black-Blue Jeans-Plat White.
SOme questions i have i can thing of. How well does the rapid cab heat work? Looks like a heater core with some eletric coils wrapped around it to heat it fater which is a great idea. How much DEF on average do you use? I can get it cheap since i work at a International Dealer. Has anyone hooked up a fuel psi gauge? Im honestly not sure if it has a lift pump or not so it might no work out well. HAs anyone added a extra fuel water seperator to these things? Maybe it has a fuell psi sensor? Has anyone put a dashdaq or something similar on it yet? Id like to know what kinda code it throws if it does and FRP egrp and stuff like that if i could curious if anyones used one yet.
LAst but not least what kinda prices yall getting a high equped KR or lariet. If anyone has a plat edition how much you pay. I was thinking around 8 to 10k off sticker cause idelt dodge down 10k and chevy down 10k for my moms tahoe.
Thanks for any info advice or anything yallhave to offer me!!!
Blue Jeans Metallic rules! I recently moved from a fully loaded 2003 Silverado to a 2013 F250 Lariat. The Lariat excels in every aspect however I do miss is the rear seats not folding down flat like my Chevy extended cab; nonetheless the seating much more comfortable and there is room on the floor to stow stuff.
Expect to pay about 10-12% off sticker.
I was quoted over the phone a 66,000 platinum at 54,000. Very good pricing over the phone. There are a few things ive been seeing with engine issues mainly being turbos. Thats about it though.I do wish they had projectorlight like the 150s but o well. I have considered a 150 too cuase i honestly never ever tow with it and just drive it around plus a gas is much mcuh cheaper tomaintain and i cant get my filters cheap anymore for it like i can my dodge. I just feel ill never be happy with a gas enigine
I can't say much about the dodge. I had the 6.7 Cummins for about a year before I sold it. I've had 5 powerstrokes. I love em. I should be slapped for buying that Dodge. I've told this story in another thread before but I'll tell you the reader's digest version.
After buying the Dodge, me and my brother n law were headed to the hunting ranch. This truck still had paper tags. We were pulling a pretty good load and he was driving. About two hours into our 5 hour road trip he looks at me and says " this things a piece of s%^&. It pulls nothing like the Ford Powerstroke". I just looked down at the floorboard and said "I know". There is no substitute. I love my 2012 stroke.
Another thing you should think about. As long as Ford doesn't take money from Obama or as long as they do not sell out to China, we should support them. Both Chevy and Dodge took the money and where did that get us? GM's building Cadi's in China and Chrysler sold a major portion to Fiat. I know Ford made some adjustments but they prepared for a rainy day. If anything, support the brand that supports itself.
Good Luck....
I think its time for a change.
I know all about fixing problems over time. I've worked for a international dealership my whole career and seen a lot ironed out. The 7.3 was never the best engine till the end. 6.0s believe it or not are pretty good now. Experiencing this with the new maxx13 right now too and I'm beginning to get tires of those now cause they are the most difficult truck engine on the planet. I miss when Navistar made the ford engines and I knew what the whole deal was. Now I'm out of the loop and hate it!

I have a 2012 Lariat with rapid heat. I live in NW PA and it's a very nice feature. Truck is blowing warm air very quickly. It's one of my favorite features.
Exhaust brake - not as strong as the cummins or the duramax. Never been an issue for me though.
Transmission and engine combo is awesome. I think it's good to checkout all the forums to know what could happen. However, Ford is doing a great job with this truck. Sure, you'll see some die hard 6.4 lovers talk smack about the 6.7 being weak. Uh...400HP and 800 ftlbs ain't weak. And, you will find people running some strong tunes on stock engines with no problems.
I am not brand loyal...there are things I like about all brands and various years throughout the brands. However, for my taste, the Ford fit the bill. And Consumer Reports ranked them the highest among the 3 diesels available.
Good luck! I'd love to see pics of a blue jeans platinum!
To answer a couple of your questions.
DEF tank holds a little over 5 gallons. On avg you will get about 1000 miles per gallon. That will vary depending on how much you tow and how cold of a climate you live. DEF freezes at 13°. I think some guys spend the entire winter with their DEF frozen and never use any. It does have a heater that thaws the tank and the truck runs fine while the tank is frozen. If you do a short commute, it may never thaw because you didn't run the truck long enough. No big deal computer adjust for it.
Rapid Heat is just what you describe. A heater coil. Think 1500 watt hair dryer. It does help to get things starting to warm up. Especially getting the windshield defrosted. But it will not create a warm cab instantly. It is automatic. Turns on when ever the coolant is below 80° and the ambient air is below some preset temp. Turns off as soon as your coolant hits 100°. totally transparent to you the operator. No switches, no idiot lights. If your truck sits outside all night at 5°. it is still going to take 5miles of driving to get your cab warmed up.
Exhaust Brake. Again, there is no switch, no idiot light, It is totally out of the drivers control other than you press the Tow/Haul button. EB works in Tow/Haul, Does not engage if you do not select T/H. I find the way Ford implemented the EB is different than what some folks think of. It does a good job of holding a speed down a grade. It does a lousy job of Stopping of slowing a truck. I can top Parleys Summit on I-80 slow the truck to 50 mph, set the cruise and never touch my brakes for the 20 miles of downhill grade while towing my 13,000 lbs of horses. But if I'm going 70 mph and want to slow down to 50 mph, It's not going to do that, I would need to touch my brake pedal. If you have expectations of coming down a hill and pressing a button and hearing the Braaaap Braaaap, You will be disappointed.

Thanks for the info guys!!! I will give dodge this. WHen my truck still have the g56 in it the exhaust brake would slow the truck down to almost a dead stop with using downshifting. CUmmins has always had decent luck using the turbo as a means to slow the truck down. Every engine still uses the turbo as some stage ofbraking. I am honestly pretty excited about the rapid cab heat. My dodge seriously will take 10mi to heat up cause of the 180" stat i have in it. So ford doesnt use the tank heater during koeo op? I just took a class on cm2350 ISX and they implement the us eof the heater as long as voltage doesnt drop below 12. I havent seen the blue jean color in person yet. I like how the king ranch model comes with two tone. The plat is solid color. Im not sure which one to go with. more inclined to do the plat thoough cause i like the inlays better. I do like the heated wheel option dodge had that too in 2010 and worksvery well. Now for another question. OFr nay of you ford techs is there anyway someone has a class or overview of the 6.7L??? Id love to view a ford factory class if someone has a dvd or youtube vid for it. I like to know how my engine works and where everything is. being able to know certain things would be great. Likei said not being a navstar engine anymore im outta the loop and i hate it.
I think its time for a change.

At that point you would have an assimilated founder. . .
I think there's a flaw in this argument. A changeling has the ability to somehow cause false sensor readings. He might look like a duck, walk like a duck, and quack like a duck, but that doesn't make him a duck. He's a changeling pretending to be a duck, camouflaging his true form.
If a Borg drone tried to assimilate a disguised changeling, at the moment of physical contact, the changeling could almost instantly shift into something else, including natural liquid form. There's no evidence that a disguised founder actually has the internal organs or molecular structure of an impersonated being/object. But they can fool sensors well enough to show that they do.

Appliance repair tulsa
Product Repair
lg appliance repair
When you're having troubles with your major appliances, you want to get them set instantly. Much like anything, you need to approach appliance repair the appropriate method. Before rushing into something, take a few moments to think about the steps which you have to take.
lg appliance repair
First, be sure you've read the manual for your own appliance. The problem could be something as simple as contacts or wires. Most people do not make an effort to really realize how our appliances work, and we speed in to calling someone for the required repair. To avoid an embarrassing position and unnecessary cost, be sure you've got everything connected right and plugged in. It might sound foolish, but it happens.
Then find out if you possess a guarantee on the applying. In that case, be certain you read the warranty carefully. Before having your repair completed, know what's and is not covered under your plan. Several warranties come with stipulations and circumstances, such as whom you can contact for appliance fix. The premium was paid by you to truly have the guarantee, make sure that you do not void the protection by trying to undertake the business yourself or by contacting an unauthorized repair tech.
If you are helpful and desire to attempt to undertake the fix your-self (and may do so without compromising any warranty coverage) make sure you receive all the info that you can about the job. There is a abundance of info on-line, including manuals and how-to instructions for straightforward equipment repair. Some sites also offer a live appliance tech to talk to on the web, although that is usually a pay service. Do not search into (or disassemble) anything until you're certain you understand the entire issue and repair. While "do it yourself" is a great method to go, things can make a mistake very fast. The more knowing you have of the setup you're working on, the greater chance of succeeding along with your appliance repair.
In case you have decided (or if warranty needs) to get your own repair done professionally, be certain to select your company carefully.. Reputation informs so much. In many cases, the position you purchased your appliance from will possibly do appliance fix or suggest a business for you to really work with. When you have a warranty that needs a special company, be certain to use them. Again, you don't want to invalidate your warranty. Should you be able to choose your own repair technician, look around. Study online reviews, request your friends or coworkers, find out what business commercial businesses use. You need to get as confident as possible that your product repair is performed correctly the very first moment and with as small individual cost as possible. Take into account, though that cheapest does not necessarily mean best. Inexpensive is essential to all or any of us, but reputable and trustworthiness is quite important, also.
Naturally, preventative care will enable you to avert product repair. Whenever you get your product, make certain to gain as much familiarity with it like possible. Pick out the small steps of routine care to avoid significant, expensive repairs. You'll be happy you did!

Launched in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the "unconditional war on poverty in America," now in its 49th year, might arguably be the most expensive and longest running example of Thomas Sowell's warning that "good intentions tell you nothing about the actual consequences."
"If there is any lesson in the history of ideas, it is that good intentions tell you nothing about the actual consequences," stated Thomas Sowell, economist at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman warned of the mixture of good intentions and big government. "Concentrated power," he cautioned, "is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."
French writer Albert Camus (1913-1960) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. "The evil that is in the world," he asserted, "almost always comes from ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding."
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), British essayist and novelist, stated it more boldly: "Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions; it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too."
In Brave New World, a prophetic novel published in 1932, prior to Stalin's purges and before Hitler came to power in Germany, Huxley described a tyrannical future where totally controlled and dehumanized slaves would "love their servitude."

With No Parise Devils Eye 'Plan B' [VIDEO]
Lou Lamoriello did not speak with anger in his voice. He was not short with his answers. And he even declined an offer to wrap up the interview after 20 minutes, fearing that the media may have some more questions for him.
Indeed, the New Jersey Devils general manager has been through this before — losing a marquee player to free agency — and his team has survived. That's how the Devils, after all, have been to five Stanley Cup finals — winning three of them — in Lamoriello's tenure. They move on. They counter.
PREVIOUS: Zach Parise Signs With Minnesota
So, after former captain Zach Parise left for Minnesota on Wednesday, ending days of free-agent drama, Lamoriello, though disappointed, clearly took it in stride.
"There's no question we're disappointed. It's a very unfortunate thing when you have a player of his stature that's come right through the ranks and then, at this given time, a decision is made to go elsewhere," Lamoriello said on a conference call.
"You just go forward."

Google rolls out modified Android OS for wearables
Google has reportedly rolled out a modified Android OS version for its new range of wearables.
The search giant has partnered with HTC, LG, Samsung, and others for the first phase of its Android Wear smartwatches.
According to Cnet, the modified Android OS would be heavily based on Google Now voice-recognition technology and the voice command, 'Ok Google' to ask questions or fire off a text message.
Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm are poised to become the search giant's chip partners.
The modified Android OS would focus on health and fitness tracking and has been designed to provide relevant information, as well as notifications from social apps, alerts from messaging apps, and notifications from shopping, news, and photography apps.
The report said that the Fossil Group would bring Android Wear-powered watches later this year.

CLAYTON — Following an investigation, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office charged Tyler R. Farmer, 22, with second-degree burglary and third-degree grand larceny after he was allegedly involved in a residential burglary July 21 in the village.
Stolen items at the residence included five long guns, jewelry and medications. The location of the residence was not disclosed by deputies, who are conducting an ongoing investigation.
Deputies said their investigation linked two cases involving theft to the suspect. He possessed stolen items from the burglary, along with a stolen canoe from a separate village property, they said. He was also charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief, two counts of fifth-degree possession of stolen property and seventh-degree possession of a controlled substance.
He was arraigned in Clayton Village Court and remanded to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building on $20,000 cash bail or $40,000 bond. Deputies were assisted by village police, state police, Clayton Fire Department and Horizon Aerial Media Services, Glen Park.

One common food comes to mind when looking to get a good supply of omega-3s in your diet. In a perfect world, you'd be able to get all the omega-3s your body needs by eating fish.
Unfortunately, studies show that eating fish can potentially expose you to a high degree of contamination with industrial pollutants and toxins like:
In fact, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency have issued health advisories against certain fish and shellfish consumption for young children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and nursing mothers.
If you enjoy eating fish, I recommend you look to varieties like wild caught salmon. However all fish, including that which is wild caught, contain some levels of mercury. According to the FDA, fish that have some of the highest levels of mercury include: mackerel king, shark, swordfish, and tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico (see chart below).
I recommend you consider avoiding these types of fish as sources of omega-3s. The bottom line – the oceans and thousands of fresh water bodies have been seriously polluted. If you want to eat fish, I believe it's best to focus on fresh, wild caught varieties like salmon, tilapia, and freshwater trout.
However, to get a potent supply of omega-3s without the added mercury risk found in all varieties of fish, I feel there is a much better option available to you. However, it's not just important to get the right source of omega-3s; you've got to make sure it comes from a sustainable source.
Even with all the possible health benefits of krill oil, you need to watch out for cheap imitations and low-quality imposters. And there are quite a few of these available in the marketplace where manufacturers sometimes take shortcuts at the expense of quality and the environment.
Harvesting krill in a commercially viable and environmentally sound way can be challenging. Here're examples of some of the issues:
We take a totally unique approach to harvesting krill. The patent-pending technology is just what I was looking for in krill harvesting because it:
The bottom line with this type of specialized harvesting is it not only helps ensure high-quality krill goes into Krill Oil, it minimizes environmental impacts and helps ensure the sustainability of Antarctic krill and other marine species.
Plus, we support The Commission for the Conversation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). CCAMLR was established in 1982 with the objectives of conserving Antarctic marine life. To further support CCAMLR, vessels typically have a part-time observer on board to scrutinize harvesting limits.
With Krill Oil, there is an independent observer on board 24/7 who reports back to CCAMLR on a daily basis. Talk about going the extra mile to ensure sustainability and environmental protection.
And yet, there's even more this astounding thing we do during the entire sea to shelf process that few (if any) other manufacturers do...
We have adopted The Marine Stewardship Council's (MSC) "boat to plate" mentality and adheres to MSC's Chain of Custody standard. But what does this really mean?
MSC certification means that every company that handles the product (from harvesting to encapsulation):
So, there's a big-time quality element involved in this "boat to plate" certification. And to me, the traceability of all this is an often overlooked element. Traceability of Krill Oil:
In the end, we provide 100% traceability of the krill from sea to shelf in a controlled value chain: from harvesting… to processing… to logistics... to final processing… to product specs… to internal and external audits.
We have the incredible ability to trace all krill back to the exact location of harvest (through GPS systems aboard each vessel). Each bottle is traceable back to the Antarctic location where the krill was actually harvested.
Now you may be thinking that taking fish oil is a good alternative. And there are some high-quality fish oils available that could potentially enhance your intake of omega-3s. Unfortunately, not only does the contamination risk affect fish itself, it also applies to fish oil supplements.
The good news is there's a solution I believe is even better that overcomes some of fish oil's short-comings. Fish oil tends to be:
So what's a better alternative to fish oil?
With the discovery of this unique marine oil, the drawbacks from fish oil can be avoided. Krill oil solves the dilemma by containing both antioxidants and omega-3s. And because krill are at the bottom of the food chain, they are virtually free from pollution and contamination.
When I first learned about this pure marine oil, I was extremely impressed with the many benefits and the solid research behind its unique combination of antioxidants, omega-3 oils, and other ingredients.*
The list of how Antarctic krill oil can support you will likely impress you, too.* The chart below illustrates many of the potential benefits of krill oil.*
If you're looking for a way to support your health with a solution that really delivers the goods, then please take a minute to discover how Krill Oil can help you.*
Unlike fish oils, Antarctic krill oil carries omega-3s in the form of phospholipids – liposomes or little packages that deliver the fatty acids directly to your body's cells.
Scientific evidence to date has shown that the safest and most effective carriers of EPA and DHA are these phospholipids. Unfortunately, standard fish oils (and inferior krill oil brands) lack this phospholipid complex. Instead, they contain omega-3 fatty acids in the less-beneficial form of free triglycerides.
Why are phospholipids so important? In a nutshell, they…
This unique relationship between the phospholipids and omega-3 fatty acids greatly facilitates the passage of the fatty acid molecules through your intestinal wall.* This helps you in three ways:
Although some omega-6 fats are good for your health, the balance of omega-6s to omega-3s is crucial.* Unfortunately, most people consume an overabundance of omega-6 fats. The phospholipids in Krill Oil can help balance this ratio and provide you with more omega-3 fats.*
This Antarctic krill oil phospholipid "secret weapon" just adds more solid support to why I strongly recommend Krill Oil.
Without a superior delivery and encapsulation system, all the innovation and technology that goes into producing the Krill Oil formula could be a waste. I mean, what good would it be if leakage problems with the protective capsule were an issue?
It's not a problem here and I made doubly-sure this was not an issue.
Krill Oil is provided in a "Licaps®" capsule instead of a softgel, caplique, or other type of capsule technology. Licaps use innovative "Fusion Technology" to seal a 2-piece capsule without the use of banding.
This extraordinary liquid capsule technology can provide many beneficial advantages over others because it:
Plus, since the capsules are so tightly sealed, you won't even smell the krill oil.*
Isn't it time you took charge of increasing your intake of health-supporting crucial antioxidants and omega-3s?*
With the combination of a high-quality Antarctic krill oil…
Krill Oil is one of the smartest ways I know of to increase your intake of antioxidants and omega-3s.
Order Krill Oil today to start boosting your antioxidants and omega-3s.*

A: The unique blend of ingredients found in krill oil is not present in fish oil. Krill oil includes naturally-occurring astaxanthin and a phospholipid carrier with antioxidants.
Fish oil is weak in antioxidant content and therefore is more prone to spoiling. Krill oil doesn't have these problems. The phospholipid carrier in krill oil also helps DHA and EPA get absorbed better than fish oil, so you don't need to take as much.
A: Unlike fish oil, krill oil can deliver the omega-3 fatty acids directly to your cells because of its phospholipids. These are the best carriers and provide the most benefit to your body. So even though krill oil contains fewer omega-3s, your body can absorb them more readily.
A: Krill are harvested near Antarctica, far from pollution of mercury and other toxins that fish oil products may contain. They're also at the bottom of the food chain. Since mercury bioaccumulates (when a fish eats a fish that has mercury in it, it stays in the larger fish) and krill are on the bottom of the food chain, there is virtually no mercury in krill at all (if any).
A: Plant-based omega-3 sources like flax, hemp, and chia seeds are high in ALA, but low in EPA and DHA. Most of your health benefits associated with omega-3 fats are linked to animal-based omega-3 fats like EPA and DHA, not plant-based omega-3 fats like ALA. ALA is converted into EPA and DHA in your body, but only at a very low ratio. Even if you eat large amounts of ALA, your body can only convert very small amounts into EPA and DHA, and only when sufficient enzymes are present.
A: Krill represent the largest biomass in the ocean. Estimates for the Antarctic biomass range from 170 million to 740 million tons. There is a precautionary catch limit set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). CCAMLR closely monitors krill harvesting to ensure the precautionary catch limit is not reached, but only 2% of the limit has been harvested in any given year.

Google has introduced several interesting and definitely useful new features to its eBooks Web Reader, the web-based tool for accessing the digital books Google offers in its relatively new ebook store. You can now find definitions for words you don't know, translate phrases that may be in another language, or access the new search features.
"When bookworms stumble across a word we don't know, we face the classic dilemma of whether to put the book down to look up the word or forge ahead in ignorance to avoid interrupting the reading experience," Derek Lei, Software Engineer for Google Books, wrote.
"Well, fret no more, readers, because today you can select words in Google eBooks and look up their definitions, translate them or search for them elsewhere in the book from within the Google eBooks Web Reader—without losing your page or even looking away," he said.
Adding definitions to the Web Reader is a very obvious idea. Quite often, especially with older or more scholarly books, you will stumble upon a word that you've never seen before or that you're not quite sure of its meaning.
You could do a Google search and find out, but that still breaks the experience. Definitions are now accessible inline, they're displayed in a small pop-up.
All you have to do is select a word, right click on it and select define. You can also get a more detailed explanation as well as usage examples by clicking on the "More" link.
Translations work exactly the same, select a word or a phrase and you can get a translation for it within the reader itself.
Finally, if you just want to find out more about a term or phrase you can use the search tools. The options "Search Book," "Search Google" and "Search Wikipedia" should all be rather self explanatory.
Note that these features only work in "Flowing Text" mode and only for books where the full text is available, not only the scanned pages.

Local author and lawyer Rick Robinson founded Pride and Pages, an organization that aims to send books to soldiers. The organization partnered with the city of Union's Adopt-a-Unit program to send 130 books to deployed soldiers.
Soldiers deployed overseas will have some new reading materials this holiday season thanks in part to a new nonprofit founded by a local lawyer and author.
Pride and Pages, the brainchild of Rick Robinson, had its kickoff Nov. 29, when the group partnered with the city of Union's Adopt-a-Unit program to send 130 books donated by local authors overseas to the city's adopted military unit, 101st Airborne Division, 1/32 CAV.
Volunteers gathered at the Union Community Building to prepare a holiday shipment to the deployed troops where the books - and other goodies - were wrapped. ...

When baby Naomi Carlow was born last October, her grandmother Ramona Trombley immediately knew something was wrong. The baby was jaundiced, and any hope that it was just a normal baby jaundice was dashed upon Bilirubin testing the next day, which indicated a problem with Naomi's liver. Naomi was hospitalized five times and had two surgeries before she was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare and unpredictable liver disease, and flown to the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton from her home in Lake Cowichan, B.C.
Catholic journalists could easily "remain on the surface" when reporting on Pope Francis with his great photo opportunities and "buzz-catching expressions," but they need to take their coverage a step further, said Basilian Father Thomas Rosica. "Our work as Catholic media is not to remain on the surface but to go to the deeper level of that story within the story," urged the priest, founding CEO of the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation.
WINNIPEG – Canadians don't realize the legalization of doctor-assisted suicide will "include 25 year olds in car accidents who have lost the use of their legs," says a professor of law and bioethics. "Canadians weren't wanting this," said Dr. Mary Shariff. "This has only come through this one case, it's not like the Canadian public is saying this is a big issue."
Construction first stripped Toronto's St. Michael's Cathedral of its spiritual atmosphere, now it is blocking parishioners from entering the building altogether. The Toronto Archdiocese on June 17 temporarily closed the cathedral due to safety concerns associated with the renovations that have been ongoing since 2011.
The president of the U.S. bishops' conference called the Supreme Court's June 26 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage "a tragic error." Archbishop Joseph Kurtz urged Catholics to move forward with faith "in the unchanging truth about marriage being between one man and one woman.
Pope Francis has called for "a bold cultural revolution" that will sweep away consumerism, myths about unlimited economic growth and the desire to constantly maximize profits. Human activities based on those habits and beliefs are destroying the planet, the pope said in his encyclical Laudato Si', On Care for Our Common Home, dated May 24, Pentecost Sunday, and released at the Vatican June 18.
Alberta religious, environmental, industry and Aboriginal leaders hailed Pope Francis encyclical on the environment as a positive contribution to saving the planet. While some called it a guidepost for the energy industry, others greeted it as a call to a new lifestyle reflective of our duties to God, neighbour and nature. In the letter, the pope cites a solid scientific consensus indicating that global warming is real, and will limit drinking water, harm agriculture, lead to some extinctions of plant and animal life, acidify oceans and raise sea levels in a way that could flood some of the world's biggest cities.
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home is a call for global action as well as an appeal for deep inner conversion. The pope points to numerous ways world organizations, nations and communities must move forward and the way individuals – believers and people of good will – should see, think, feel and act. Here are some of the pope's suggestions, with references in parentheses to their paragraphs in the encyclical:
Edmonton Archbishop Richard Smith will be one of four Canadian delegates to the world Synod of Bishops on the vocation and mission of the family at the Vatican in October. The other three Canadian delegates to the Oct. 4-25 synod will be Archbishop Paul-Andre Durocher of Gatineau, Que., president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB); Bishop Noel Simard of Valleyfield, Que.; and Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto.
EDMONTON – Longtime Catholic activist Dr. Robert McKeon has received dual honours prior to his imminent retirement as social justice coordinator with the Edmonton Archdiocese. McKeon has been named professor emeritus by Newman Theological College where he has taught full and part-time since 1979.
