Chapter One - Abducted
Chapter One - Abducted
The raven screeched loudly in fright, flying in fear through the night. Her wings flapped wildly, desperately, as it tried to escape the horror behind her. Weaving in and out of the tall skyscrapers, she could sense it close behind her, yearning to get its deadly grip on her. The terrified bird shrieked in fear, missing a wall by inches. Buildings sprang up from no where, trying to throw the bird off its course for determined freedom. In desperate attempt to escape, the bird dove down to the city below. It dodged through traffic, its tiny heart beating franticly against her fragile ribs in fear, hoping to shake off the predator on her tail. Still it followed. In a frantic attempt to loose the monster, she swerved swiftly into an alleyway. She barely had time to glance over her feathery shoulder as the being closed in on her. With a last scream of terror, the raven was engulfed in darkness as it plummeted towards the concrete ground.
Dezba was not involved in her friend's conversations; she just walked silently along beside Amy and Lauren as they gossiped about school. She played with the necklace her grandfather had sent her for her twelfth birthday; it was on a leather cord, and off it hung two beads and in the centre, a wooden carving of a raven hung. She was thinking of the dream she had the previous night, the one about the raven trying to escape. She had woken up that morning screaming, her heart beating so hard in her chest that it felt as if it would burst from her chest, pale and shaking. Her Father, Noshi, had calmed her down, cradling her and rocking her on his lap, stroking her hair, retrieving a glass of water and helping her sip it. She was too old to be treated like that, but she liked how caring Noshi could be when she was scared. It was a strange dream, but she usually had unusual dreams, so why was she so obsessed with figuring out what this dream meant. How did she even know it had a meaning? She smiled softly, as her Grandpa Sicheii's words echoed through her mind: Every dream has a meaning, Dezzie. Whether it's something that is insignificant, or something that is extremely important. Deathly important. You should always try to figure out what they mean.
Dezba smiled softly; she loved her Grandfather and his weird ways; he was a descendant of some medicine man from back when the Native Americans roamed the plains of America. He was obsessed with their legends and their magic. For her birthday and for Christmas, he always sent her strange objects that they would have used back then, and instructions of how they were used. However, thoughts of her Grandpa Sicheii brought back sad memories too. She had not seen him since she was six, since her father had found her playing with Grandpa Sicheii's things. He had freaked out when he had saw her playing with his strange smoking pipe and peculiar knife, and an argument had erupted between them. Noshi had yelled at his father for leaving those things lying around, saying Dezba could have got hurt, Sicheii had said she was too smart to do such a stupid thing. They argued over lots of things, until her dad had bellowed that there was no such thing as magic and Sicheii left.
Dezba sighed softly, still playing with her raven necklace, until her thoughts were interrupted by Lauren's voice.
"So what do you think, Dezzie?" she asked, "Mickey Marshals, hot or not?" she smiled her brilliant white smile. Unlike her, Amy and Lauren were obsessed by the male species, and were constantly grading guys on how good looking they were. Dezba barely joined in, unless they asked her about her opinion. She sighed and thought of Mickey Marshals, trying to decide. She honestly did not have anything in common with the two; and she thought they only talk to her simply because they felt sorry for her. Dezba saw things, creatures that seemed to follow her around. As the years went on, she saw more and more, which looked fiercer and fiercer. She saw them all the time, glaring at her across the street, snarling at her. Sometimes, they looked like normal humans, but when they grinned at her she would see their eyes flash colour, and their teeth would be long fangs. She had Noshi, and he had sent her to a therapist, but somehow the word had gotten out that she was insane, and she had lost many friends quickly. She did not fine it fair.
"Not." She decided. Her friends paused, then shrugged, and carried on talking about something else. Dezba looked upwards towards the sky, trying to absorb herself in thought again, but it was nearly impossible. She could not get back to her train of thought.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was the screech of tires, causing Dezba's eyes to shoot to the source of the noise. A white van skidded around the corner, almost crashing into several other vehicles as it did. Dezba, Amy and Lauren all stopped in their tracks as they watched as it swerved, speeding along the road, whilst dodging individuals. Then it skidded to a halt beside the three girls; the door flew open, and a boy and a girl looked panicky out at the girls.
"Get her, Honaw!" the girl cried, pushing the darker haired boy out of the van. Dezba's eyes went wide suddenly, as the boy called Honaw dived forwards. Somehow, she managed to dodge him, before turning and stating to sprint away. The only problem with this was that she was not a fast runner, and before she knew it the boy had her, his arms tight around her waist and lifting her off her feet. She found herself screaming.
"What the hell do you think your doing!" screamed Amy, jumping forwards and trying to stop him, but he was already dragging Dezba back to the van. He had lifted her up by her waist, but that allowed Dezba to scream and kick. He grunted slightly as her elbow connected with his stomach, but he did not loosen his grip on her. The girl helped him pull her into the van by grasping her arms to stop her from clutching the door to prevent her from being pulled into the van.
Dezba was terrified. She struggled and screamed as the people heaved her into the van, and saw her friends equally as scared faces as the door was slammed shut. Inside the van, there were two other boys, one behind the steering wheel, the last one in the back, trying to help the others and hold her still. The inside of the van had no seats, apart from the driver's seat and the passenger's seat beside it. In the back, there was just a few seatbelts attached to the walls – that looked as if they had been put there by one of kidnappers – and mattresses, quilts and pillows. Dezba still struggled, snarling slightly. She did everything she could to get them off her as the van sped off.
"This kid's insane!" cried one of the boys as she tried to bite him.
"Buckle her up!" yelled the boy who was driving. Obeying his orders, the boy who held of her dumped her on one of the mattresses; whilst the remaining boy and the girl grabbed her arms and forced her against the wall of the vehicle. She kicked out wildly as the boy named Honaw lunged forwards, grabbing a seatbelt and buckling it in. She tried to pull away from the others but Honaw pulled the seatbelt so it tightened, pinning her arms to her sides.
Salty, frightened tears rolled down Dezba's cheeks as she stared fearfully up at the three, who had finally backed off.
"Dezba," the boy with the longer blond hair said, "my names Mingan. Please, don't be scared of us." Mingan paused, glancing at the others, as if unsure whether or not to go on.
"Don't be scared?" Dezba snorted softly, "You've just kidnapped me! How can I not be scared?"
"We didn't want to," the girl sighed, "we wanted to talk to you in private, but you were in danger, and we needed to get to you quickly." Dezba did not answer; she just stared down at her knees, sniffing softly. Tears still trailed down her face, but Mingan leant forwards and brushed them away on the back of his sleeve, ignoring her flinch when he touched her.
"We're not going to hurt you, Dezba," he said softly, almost sympathetically, "we just need to talk. We need your help, but if you don't want to, we won't make you come with us. Just hear us out, ok?" He paused, lifting her chin so she was looking teary eyed up at the three knelt in front of her. She saw the driver glance at her in the mirror, then returned his gaze on the road. The kids were about her age, apart from the driver who looked a year or two older.
"I want to go home." She whispered, still feeling scared and now a little bit sick. The boys glanced at each other before sighing and sitting opposite her. The girl gave a small sympathetic smile
They drove in silence for a while, Dezba the only one making a noise when she sniffled softly. It was getting dark before the driver stopped. He paused, turned off the engine, glanced at Dezba; then he climbed over the seats so he was crouched in the back with the others. He knelt directly opposite Dezba, his eyes scanning her face. She swallowed, feeling vulnerable. The boy was handsome; all of the boys were to be honest, and the girl was very tall and beautiful. He had a mane of wild, wavy brown hair, and his eyes were so dark they were almost black. He hesitated for a second, before reaching forwards and unbuckling her. She took no time to shift as far away as she could from them. The driver paused before shifting over to her.
"Dezba, my name's Chayton. These guys won't hurt you, and I promise that they won't touch you unless I instruct them to – which I wont." He said softly. Dezba swallowed, glancing at the four.
"What do you want with me? Why me? Please, I just want to go home!" she pleaded, biting her lip hard. Chayton sighed softly, before shifting into a sitting position opposite her.
"Dezba, I'm sorry we had to do this, I truly am. You must be terrified right now, but we need your help." He said softly, "Dezba… what do you know about Native American folk law?"
"What?" she cried, "What the hell are you talking about? You kidnapped me to talk about frigging myths and legends?"
"Can you please answer the question? I swear it's relevant." He said softly. I glared at him, before swallowing.
"I know some stuff; my Grandpa loves that type of stuff. He used to tell me some stuff as bedtime stories; he still sends me books, objects, and things." She growled. He paused, glancing at the others.
"What about animals? Know any of their laws on them?" He asked. Frowning, scared and angry, Dezba looked at the others in confusion, before looking back to Chayton.
"Grandpa said that the animals all have a spirit." She snapped. He smirked lightly, glancing at his friends. They all looked back at him, then in unison the four turned their eyes back to Dezba.
"Obviously he hasn't told you everything. Otherwise, you wouldn't be as… confused as you are." He said, "I guess I have to explain it to you. Dezba, you're part of an ancient legend. You're ancestors aren't all human, but an animals too, guardians of the Native American tribes." He said, as if he was talking about a simple day at the park. Dezba stared at him for a moment.
"What the hell?" she cried, staring at one to the other, "Are you guys, like, high? You're insane! All of you! You kidnap me to tell me that!" She pushed away from them once again, pressing herself up against the van wall. The girl sighed, hitting Chayton upside the head.
"What happened to breaking it to her gently?" she hissed, before crawling towards Dezba with a friendly smile.
"Elu, what happened to letting me deal with it?" he grumbled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Dezzie, I know this may be hard for you, and I know you're scared and confused, but I also know you're different from everyone." She said softly, "You see things, don't you Dez, things no one else can, things you can' explain. Men with strange eyes. Dogs that have tusks like walrus'. Daemons." Dezba had a slight in draw of breath.
"W-who have you been talking to?" she whispered, "The school was told they couldn't tell anyone about that! It's confidential!" Honestly, she wanted to cry. She knew she was mad, everyone knew she was, but she could not bare it if four complete strangers came alone and decided to tease her and bully her about it.
"It's ok, Dez," Elu said softly, "we're not going to make fun of you. We see them too. We're just like you." She smiled softly, reaching forwards and taking my hands in hers.
"You're not insane, Dezba. You're just different; like us. We can all see these daemons. There's no easy way to explain this, but you need to know. You, Chayton, Mingan, Honaw and I all here on this planet for a reason. We're in the middle of a war, Dezzie. We're in the middle of a war against those daemons and hardly anyone knows about it. However, we do. We know about it and we're the warriors. We're the fighters, the soldiers in this battle."
"You're crazy!" Dezba cried, "Theres no such things as Daemons!" Elu smiled.
"But what if we're not crazy?" she asked slyly, the smile still across her lips. Dezzie bit her lip.
"Then I'd go home anyway!" she cried, "I'm no warrior! I cannot be expected to save peoples lives! I'm just a regular city girl with hardly any friends. I have a loving dad, who is probably ecstatic with fear right now, and I'm a straight A student, who just wants to go home!" Elu bit her lip, then sighed and wrapped her arms around Dezba sympathetically.
"I'm sorry, Dez, I truly am." She muttered, "But I'm telling the truth. I wish it wasn't true, I do. I wish you could live a normal life."
"But it's going to be kinda difficult for you if you choose that route in life." Chayton interrupted. Dezba looked up at him through feared eyes. She did not like him. She was slightly intimidated by him.
"Dezzie, there's no point saying you're not one of us. What we're talking about is passed on throughout generations. That's how we knew you where one of us: we spoke to your grandfather and he pointed us towards you."
"Grandpa Sicheii?"
"Yhea, him. He told up where to find you. Told us you might not know what you really are due to your father. He didn't like this life so he decided not to embrace it. I promise you Dezba, we will send you back home – if you still feel you can't fight with us – after you meet Madam Hausisse." Chayton said. Dezba stared down at her knees.
"Who's Madam Hausisse?" she said quietly.
"My grandmother." He replied with a slight shrug. Dezba glanced up at him, before looking back at her knees.
"Can I at least call my friends?" she asked, "they must be sick with worry after you kidna-- after we left like that." Chayton paused, thinking it over, whilst he looked through his wavy hair.
"Tomorrow." He decided, "Right now you need sleep." He paused, before leaning over and muttering something in Mingan's ear. Mingan looked at him then nodded, before smiling at Dezba and moving next to her. She did not react; she just stared at her knees still. She wanted her dad.
"Hey," he said softly, "Chay told me to look after you. Do you need anything? Are you hungry?" He was trying to be kind, but Dezba just felt hollow. She shook her head glumly.
"I just want to go home." She muttered. He sighed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him in a comforting manner. She could not even muster up the strength to pull away.
"I know. I was like you; I didn't know who I was – my parents died when I was too young to even walk. When I met the guys, I was desperate to get away. Before all this, I thought I was going insane as I saw all these daemons. But, unlike you, I couldn't tell anyone, so I was suffering silently. I didn't tell any of my friends. When I met the others, and they told me that I wasn't mental, I felt as if I had a great weight off of my shoulders." He said. She leant against him, listening to him as he talked.
"Chayton said every generation in our families knew about what we are," she said quietly, "why didn't dad tell me? Why not Grandpa Sicheii?" He sighed quietly, looking down at her.
"Every now and again, there can be someone who doesn't want to accept this life. They're scared. They live in their shadows of what they truly are; trying to pretend it's not real. I'm guessing your father didn't like this life."
"He was a wuss then?" she sniffed, feeling down.
"No!" Mingan cried, "No, he wasn't. Just because he was scared doesn't mean he was a wuss. He just wanted to protect the people he loved, that is all. He kept it from you because he loves you."
Dezba looked back at the floor. Mingan paused, before slipping his jacket off and pulling it tight around her shoulders.
"You must be cold." He muttered. Dezba looked up at his bright grey eyes. All she wanted to do was curl up and cry. Around them, Elu was leant against the side of the van, next to Chayton; they where both talking quietly between them, whilst Honaw was already lay asleep in a corner on one of the foamy mattresses, snoring softly. All four of them looked like models.
Elu was tall and thin, with long slim legs that ended with a pair of sandals, where her painted red nails where visible. Dezzie watched as she flicked her brown hair over her shoulder as she spoke quietly to Chayton, and her full lips where parted into a beautiful smile to fulfil her flawless face. She wore simple clothing, a pair of green combat shorts, and a white tank top. Honaw had pale skin, his face also flawless and smooth. His sweeping blond hair was styled and gelled, and even though he moved around a bit in his sleep, it stayed in its perfect style. He wore a black shirt, unbuttoned to show off some of his chest, and a pair of jeans. Chayton's wavy hair was completed with a straight full fringe. His almond eyes where dark brown, and fixed on Elu. For the first time she had been here, Dezba saw a flicker of a smile on his lips. Finally, there was Mingan; he had jaw length blond, straight hair that was highlighted with brown. He had a warm smile constantly on his face; he created an image of himself as caring person. The only problem with his appearance was his startling stormy eyes.
Dezba did not like it here; she wanted to go home and sleep soundly in her bed, rather than in this freezing van. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did her best to hide them, dashing them away when she thought the others were not looking, but Mingan noticed.
He sighed sadly, pulling his sleeve up and wiping away the salty streams from the banks of her face.
"Shh," he muttered, "you're scared, I know, but it'll be ok. I promise. As Chay said, if you don't want to stay, you don't have to. You'll be back at home in no time." He gave her a friendly smile, pushing her hair out of her face.
"Now get some sleep," he told her, "Madam Hausisse will kill me if I haven't made sure you had a good night's kip." Heaving a mournful sigh, she lay down on one of the squishy mattresses. Mingan crawled away from her, and then returned with a pillow in his arms.
"It's nothing fancy," he said, "We're all vegans in here, so no feathers." She did not care; she had been a vegetarian since she was nine; a little less animal products was not much of a difference.
She bunched it up underneath her head and glanced at Mingan as he laid a duvet over her. He smiled lightly, his face lit up through the dull, unnatural light that was emitting from a swinging lamp that hung from the ceiling of the van.
"You'll be home before you know it." He smiled.

Fed Characterizes Declining Dollar as Nominal
Future voting members of the Fed's policy setting committee waved off concerns regarding a declining dollar on Thursday, Nov. 19, suggesting that unless the decline becomes volatile or otherwise erratic, concerns about an inflationary impulse are unwarranted.
In commentary that seems to suggest the dollar's decline may be a counterbalance to a historically undervalued renminbi (RMB). Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher told Market News International (MNSI) that the declining dollar value was simply one factor out of many the Fed used as an analytical input for its policy setting model.
Fisher told reporters that "a gradually depreciating dollar" would not necessarily add an "enormous inflation impulse", and that the Fed's answer to concerns over a weaker dollar was to pay attention to the dollar's activity. Fisher also mentioned that there are "trade-offs" to be made between the strength of the dollar and deliberately low interest rates existing over a protracted interval such as this, due to Fed intervention.
The dollar, which is at a 15-month low, having fallen 7% this year, has become a funding mechanism in emerging markets where currency ratios permit speculators to profit on the fluctuations.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) stated today that it more than doubled its growth projection for 2010, hitting 1.9%, compared to 0.7% forecast for June. OECD is comprised of 30 member countries including the U.S., Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Charles Plosser President of the Philadelphia Fed echoed his colleague's sentiment to reporters after a conference in Singapore, saying that all that the dollar has done at this point is go back to where it was "before the panic set in". Plosser said that he didn't view this activity by the dollar as "anything particularly of concern".
Fed Chair Ben Bernanke commented directly on the dollar earlier this week on Monday, saying that the Fed's focus on its dual mandate of job growth and price stability would create a "strong" dollar.
An outlook of lower U.S. rates for the foreseeable future has sent a lot of capital abroad in search of higher returns, and so far Brazil and Taiwan have taken steps to curb capital inflows. Asia, which was the last to see the effects of the crisis and the first to show recovery, has drawn in most of the capital, generating concerns that the resulting asset bubble will force tighter capital controls from policy makers.
Plosser scoffed at the Asian asset bubble, asserting that movements of capital were consistent with the underlying market fundamentals and explained that the prospects for economic growth were "stronger in Asia than in the U.S., and you would expect some of those flows".
Both Plosser and Fisher clearly highlighted deficiencies within the U.S. economy while assenting to an ongoing recovery. Fisher projected growth falling short of 3% in 2010 coupled with high unemployment, saying ""This is not a very jobful recovery". Plosser acknowledged the commercial real estate bubble without explicitly defining it, instead saying that falling prices could threaten small and medium-sized U.S. banks.

"You meanie!"I spoke over the rushing waves.
"Hey, I'm not the one who is mean."Brandon said looking straight at me with those brilliant blue eyes.
"Hey, that's not funny."I said so he could barely hear me.
"Greta, I didn't mean it, get it mean it?"he laughed.
"Fine."I said as I splashed the icy cold water over his head.
"Grrreeettttaaa."He shivered.
"That's what you get."I laughed and turned toward the setting sun.
Brandon pulled me into his arms. I felt him , but he wasn't cold at all.
"Your a faker, Brandon."I said in his ear as I pulled his lips toward min and kissed him.
"I love you, Greta."Brandon said as he made my head reat on his chest.
"I love you too."I whispered.

VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen at their meeting last week moved closer to adopting a policy that would ban tobacco use in the area around the city pool and on the city's central green.
A council subcommittee will look at model policies and ordinances offered last week by a tobacco prevention expert and make a recommendation at the council's May 28 meeting.
A policy could be a gateway to a law that calls for tickets and fines, depending on how well the policy works.

VERGENNES — At a City Council meeting last Tuesday where aldermen discussed a smoking ban in some public places (see story, Page 1) officials and supporters of the Vergennes Opera House also spoke in favor of the organization's request for $10,000 in the next city budget. Aldermen budgeted $10,000 last year, but have not done so in the past.
VERGENNES — Unfortunately for visiting Mount Abraham, the Vergennes Union High School boys' lacrosse team chose Saturday to play its best game of the season — and probably of the past four years.
The Commodores bolted to a 4-0 first quarter lead and survived a second-quarter Eagle surge on the way to a 13-7 victory that moved VUHS to 4-6.
VERGENNES — Not too long after artists and Vergennes residents Cat Cutillo and Ross Sheehan met in New York City, they knew they wanted a space that would serve as a gallery and base of operations for her photography and his work in several artistic media.
Cutillo, 33, a New Hampshire native and Tulane University graduate, and Sheehan, 35, a Salisbury native, Syracuse University and 1996 Middlebury Union High School graduate, didn't fulfill that goal in their first several years working in the art world together in New York this past decade.
ADDISON COUNTY — Despite a few individual bright spots sprinkled in, the young Middlebury Union High School boys' tennis team dropped four matches in a busy stretch late last week, one on the road and three at home.
The rebuilding Tigers, who have just one senior and one junior on the roster after a successful 2012, dropped to 1-6. They have one more match scheduled for their regular season: BFA-St. Albans is set to visit this Monday at 3:30 p.m. The Tigers defeated the Bobwhites back on April 15, 6-1.
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School baseball team kept up its recent winning ways on Thursday, when the Eagles rode the two-hit pitching of Josh Cyr past visiting North Country, 5-2.
The victory was the third in four outings for Mount Abe, which improved to 5-6.
Senior catcher Cody Alexander, who singled home a run and threw out a runner trying to steal in the Falcon seventh, said the Eagles — who rallied past Burlington earlier last week — are coming together.
VERGENNES — Addison Northwest Supervisory Union residents on Tuesday backed by a 724-160 margin the Vergennes Union High School board's proposal to seek a five-year, $600,000 loan to fund new roofing on the school's leaky classroom wing and auditorium.
Residents in all five ANwSU towns backed the proposal by wide margins: in Addison, 95-35; in Ferrisburgh, 149-34; in Panton, 47-9; in Vergennes, 410-72; and in Waltham, 23-10.
BRANDON — This spring the undefeated Otter Valley Union High School baseball team has relied on solid starting pitching, sound defense and timely hitting from the top of the order to the bottom.
The formula worked again on Tuesday, when the Otters knocked off visiting Leland & Gray, 6-1, to improve to 10-0. The Rebels dropped to 6-2.
After a first inning in which senior starter Justin Owen allowed a walk and two hits and an OV error also led to the Rebel run, both Owen and the defense settled down.
BRISTOL — The host Mount Abraham Union High School boys' lacrosse team picked up a 12-3 victory over Otter Valley on Monday that the teams' coaches viewed differently.
Eagle co-coach Paul Low saw a result sparked by junior attacker Travis Bachand's five goals and three assists as a much-needed confidence boost for a team that had lost five straight after a 2-1 start, including three one-sided games last week.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women's lacrosse team is heading back to the NCAA Division III final four after winning three tournament home games, capped by Sunday's 10-8 win over Rensselaer in a regional final in Middlebury.
The Panthers opened by crunching Castleton on May 15, 20-3, and then knocked off Endicott, 13-4, on Saturday as the regional opened.

Someone in Robin Thicke's world thought it would be a good idea for him to do a Twitter Q&A with VH1 to help prompte his new album, "Paula," dedicated to his estranged ex-wife Paula Patton. VH1 tweeted, "Have a burning question for @robinthicke? Submit your ?s for tomorrow's Twitter Q+A using #AskThicke!"
As Callie Beusman pointed out over at Jezebel, people had plenty of questions about all of the sexist and misogynist drama that's embroiled the singer's career over the past year. One hilarious example, "On a scale of R. Kelly to Phil Spector, how do you intend to 'Get Her Back?' #AskThicke"

Don't lose your time to find out another app because it is the best one to convert your word file within seconds with high quality.
Bare Minimum
This app does convert it quickly, yes. However, that's it. The "word document" is that you have as aresult is completely unformatted text note. And there are no editting tools other than "bold, underined" and maybe left or centered. It is completely pointless to have a Word doc that I can't edit. That was the whole point of converting is from a PDF. Don't but this app.
This is a scam
I can't believe I just wasted $9.99 for this product. All it does is copy the contents of the PDF and pastes it as an image in a word document. You cannot edit. Don't waste your money!

Great product!
Reviewer3143958发表于 12月 23, 2012 | 已验证购买
I'm so sorry two customers got a bad batch or bottles. Mine is 2014 expiration and very fresh. I don't normally take the time to review products and I use I Herb all the time. This product doesn't deserve such a low rating. These are two key supplements in one and recommended in Dr Mark Hyman's book "Blood Sugar Solutions" for detoxification. I'm reordering.
Good for Healthy Metabolism
Reviewer2752777发表于 5月 17, 2013 | 已验证购买
This product is definitely much better than the ratings would imply. I take one capsule a day with my morning meal and it gives me more energy throughout the day. The two negative reviews below mention capsule contents shrinking and a certain smell to the capsules. I have experienced this as well. But neither issue has caused me any alarm or seemed to affect the efficacy of the product.

this product has enhanced the cognitive improving effects of Lypo-Spheric G S H and I am confident and not anxious about my continuing pathway.
NAC + R-Lipoic = Awesome combo
Reviewer3343479发表于 9月 25, 2012 | 已验证购买
NAC + R-Lipoic = Awesome combo This type of lipoic, in particular, is an excellent product and is one of the very most important supplements anyone can take. The patent holder, Geronova, has amazing alternatives on their site that are even better, such as liquid potassium-R-lipoic. Hey iHerb - please carry the full Geronova product line!
Best Form of Lipoic Acid
5335535286613195927发表于 2月 27, 2015 | 已验证购买
The capsules are green and easy to spot if you have other pills in a pill box. R is the best form of lipoic acid. It is hard to find R lipoic acid and NAC is one pill with this dosage and without bad fillers.
capsules have a very strong smell
5176249134922169145发表于 10月 26, 2016 | 已验证购买
These capsules have a very strong, very bad smell! I have no idea whether or not they should smell so bad? As an experiment I bought R-Lipoic Acid and NAC separately from different brands and neither of the two ingredients had any smell individually. I tend to think we have a sense of smell for a reason and so could not bring myself to take these tablets. I've given them 2 stars as I don't know whether or not the strong smell is because the product I received has 'gone off' or if the smell is supposed to be there (otherwise it would be a 1). Although until I hear otherwise I'm going to rely on my sense of smell and buy these ingredients from different manufacturers in products that don't stink. Seems a sensible approach.

Small business entrepreneurs apply for loans with various reasons, and whatever it could be must inclined towards strengthening its weaknesses towards a thriving status ahead of its competition in the industry. Here are the reasons why you need and how can you use a business loan.
Share this image on your site. Copy and paste the code below:
Expanding Operations
There is no place for a small successful business but to go up, and to do this you have to expand your enterprise. How would you know if you are ready to expand? Expansion can only be successful if your enterprise is turning in a consistent flow of profit and a positive cash flow. With these you can predict positive number of returns in the future. Once you have laid out your expansion plans, you can start your application for a business loan.
Purchasing Equipment
There are various ways to acquire the equipment you need for your business whether it is a startup or a thriving small one. You can either lease it or buy it out right. Why would you choose to buy the equipment with a business loan? Your equipment can be tax-deductible for the first year you had acquired it. You can also buy it, use out its usage life and sell it. If you take care of your equipment may it be machinery, IT equipment or a tool for your service /product, you can use it as collateral for future loans.
Purchasing Inventory
If your business is a seasonal enterprise, you will need some cash to buy your products way ahead of the season. A loan helps the business purchase a large amount of its inventory to get ready and kick start when the season comes for it to sell. You don't have to pay for the loan out right, with flexible terms, you can arrange for the loans to be paid after the seasonal sales.
Replenishing your Inventory
With a business, you will have to keep up with the surge of demands; you have to purchase goods in bigger amounts with high quality. This could be risky since you are buying more than you used to and the return of investments is unsure, yet a lot of licensed moneylenders will be willing to give a hand more than a bank can.
Increasing Working Capital
Working capital is the cash you use to continue your daily operations. When a business is has just started, its profit is not yet enough to keep the gears rolling consistently each day. The loan can be used to manage daily operations at its consistently best quality products and services until it is already making enough to keep it afloat. Banks usually offer a special working capital loans, but with higher interest rates, because this tends to be riskier, however, licensed private moneylenders can offer more flexible terms.
Building credit for the Future
It is common for moneylenders to give perks to their loyal customers. Some waive processing payments, others give lower interest rate, while some do not require much paper works anymore. With this reason, it is sound to create short-term loans in order to build a credible credit for your business. Make sure that you regularly pay on time. The best part is when you are ready for a bigger loan from a specific moneylender you always partner with; you can easily have it without much fuss. And you also have gained a good credit score along the way.
Grabbing a Good Business Opportunity
Being in the business, opportunities will usually knock at your door once. You have to weigh it if it is too good to pass up that it outweighs the risk of loss. You might have a chance to buy a bulk of inventory at a discount, or you found a great place to expand your business at a lower price yet offered with limited time.
If you acquired a contract for $20,000, yet you do not have the equipment to meet the job and it costs $5,000. Then you can consider a two year loan with $1000 interest. Your profit will be $14,000. Then it outweighs the debt, then go for the loan.
Before you jump to any concluded calculations, make sure you are not over estimating the true costs of profits. List down the pros, cons and the elements which can affect your forecast.
Adding a Staff
If the business is booming, and expanding, you just don't need to expand your place, you need to add some staff to do the jobs that weighs on you such as bookkeeping, marketing and customer service. Make sure that your team is not doing too much that it cannot handle all the functions efficiently. It is better to loan for getting a fresh talent rather than risking the quality of your products and services.
An extra set of hand won't hurt if it will help your focus on delivering the demands with high quality customer service.
Whatever your reason for applying for a business loan, you need to clearly picture out the factors and risks. When all the costs are tallied and the revenue is promising, you can take a loan you are confident you can repay. And if you are looking for a business loan, choose Cash Mart, the leading licensed moneylender which offers flexible business loan that can easily fit to your needs.
Do not hesitate to drop by or give a call. The friendly Cash Mart staff will be willing to walk you through your options, loan processing and cash disbursement.

With all the news coming out about the riots in Egypt, it is best to know which sources to trust. While many would like to believe that Al Jazeera, the international news network headquartered in Doha, Qatar, is a reliable news network, the truth is that they aren't. The fact is that those who are well versed in Middle Eastern affairs know that they are little more then a source of propaganda for the Muslim Brotherhood. Does it surprise anyone that the Egyptian authority would shut down their Cairo bureau?
Many might be skeptical. A dictatorship, on the brink of collapse, shuts down a news network that is critical of them? That doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Many will ignore this and point to the fact the Egyptian authority has also shut down the internet in an attempt to control the flow of information. This isn't, however, the first time Egypt or any other Middle Eastern country has tried to crack down on Al Jazeera, so that point is moot. To many Middle Eastern leaders, including those who are on friendlier terms with the West, the news network is a threat. Zvi Mazel from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has more on this.
…Having vainly tried threats, diplomatic pressure, and closing down its offices, Arab countries made a last, collective effort to curb Al Jazeera's broadcasts. In February 2008 Egypt and Saudi Arabia convened in Cairo an extraordinary meeting of the ministers of information of all members of the Arab League. The purpose of that meeting was to impose a series of restrictions on all satellite channels in the Arab world. The proposed rules, which were supposed to be applied in all Arab countries, included a sweeping prohibition against insulting a country's leaders or impugning its religious and national symbols. Infringement of the rules would give countries the right to freeze or cancel the offending network's permit to operate. The rules would have made it possible for the regime to stop the broadcasts at will without having to resort to a court decision. However, Qatar and Lebanon refused to endorse the agreement and it never came into effect. So Al Jazeera keeps on being a threat to Arab regimes.
It isn't just Arab regimes though, Zvi also points to the news organization's campaign against Israel.
…Al Jazeera leads an all-out war against Israel in which there is no room for true reporting. The purpose is to bring all Arabs to support the Palestinians and, more specifically, Hamas, which is, after all, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brothers. No efforts are spared to present the Palestinians as the ultimate victims. Hamas representatives are warmly received by news anchors and commentators and they receive far more air time than the Palestinian Authority – a fact often bemoaned by Yasser Arafat who tried vainly to change it.
In the course of the Second Lebanon War in 2006, Al Jazeera behaved as a Hizbullah spokesman in all but name. It broadcasted all Hizbullah communiqués without bothering to check them, as well as footage from Hizbullah's satellite network, Al Manar, which was deliberately distorting the facts and grossly exaggerating the actual damage. At no time did Al Jazeera take into consideration what Israel had to say about the situation on the ground.
During the Gaza war, a senior Al Jazeera reporter stationed himself at Shifa Hospital, from where he broadcast a stream of carefully selected horror pictures. Once again, they were accepted unreservedly and used to show what was purported to be the endless killing of civilians and especially children…
At this point I would imagine many readers are scratching their heads. A news organization is supposed to question authority right? It isn't supposed to play favourites, whether they are tyrant Arab regimes or the democratic state of Israel, so this isn't anything ground shaking right? Yes, but there's more.
It isn't just the content of their broadcasts, but those putting together the information to be put out. Zvi makes mention of this early on, citing a piece by Egyptian Maamun Fendi.
The Egyptian Maamun Fendi wrote in Asharq Alawsat that some 50 percent of the network's personnel belong to the Muslim Brothers. He believes that Qatar, by embracing the Brothers while hosting American bases, has found the perfect formula against retaliation by Arab leaders and attacks by Islamic extremists. Al Jazeera has become a weapon in the hands of an ambitious emir who may be driven by the Muslim Brothers and who is threatening the stability of the Middle East.
It isn't just one Israeli source that is saying this. After a five minute Google search, there are many articles outlining this connection with many more sources. Take for example this post from Steven Stalinsky of The New York Sun.
One of the most prolific Arab scholars and columnists, Mamoun Fandy, wrote in the London-based Arabic daily Asharq Al-Awsat about the movement's relationship with Al-Jazeera on January 22. "The Muslim Brotherhood has at its disposal media that transcends borders, from newspapers to satellite channels, which have taken over the minds of millions … throughout the entire Arab world," he wrote.
Calling Al-Jazeera "the Muslim Brotherhood channel," Mr. Fandy discussed the network's activity in the Middle East. "Al-Jazeera … is already propagandizing for the organization. … If you watch a debate program presented on Al-Jazeera … you will be amazed at the supreme effort … to defend the Muslim Brotherhood."
Pierre Akel, founder and editor of a prominent Arabic reformist Web site, Metransparent.com, summed it up on February 9, 2006, "When it comes to satellite television in the region, Al-Jazeera is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood."
A Tunisian intellectual and director of the Netherlands–based Center for Promoting Democracy in the Arab World, Khaled Shawkat, wrote about the connection between Al-Jazeera and the Muslim Brotherhood in an article for the progressive Arabic Web site Elaph.com on July 29. "Al-Jazeera has been hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood organization," he wrote.
In an article in Metransparent on December 22, 2004, the Arab reformist Abu Khawla also discussed the Muslim Brotherhood's connection to Al-Jazeera. In addition, he wrote about the channel's religious authority, Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who as a member of the organization left Egypt 45 years ago, seeking asylum in Qatar. "Arabs turn nowadays to satellite TV channels, especially Al-Jazeera … a tool of communications that is so far completely monopolized by fundamentalists," Mr. Khawla wrote. "In the case of Al-Jazeera, preacher Al-Qaradawi (a leading figure of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood) is one of its most influential founding members. And fundamentalists are in charge of its news programs and talk shows."
The always eloquent Youssef Ibrahim wrote about Sheik Qaradawi and Al-Jazeera in his New York Sun column on Monday: "One of the most eminent leaders of the Ikhwan movement, who appears weekly on Al-Jazeera's 'Sharia and Life' program, is Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. He has specifically ruled that Americans in Iraq and Israelis everywhere should be targeted by suicide bombers, who will be considered martyrs and heroes." Mr. Ibrahim also noted that Sheik Qaradawi "ranks among the top 10 leaders of the Ikhwan's international ruling councils."
This connection between Al Jazeera and the Muslim Brotherhood is not only confirmed by Jihadwatch.org, but by Walid Shoebat, a former Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) militant who converted to Christianity and has become one of the more outspoken critics of Islam, stated the very same thing this morning on 'The Larry Elder Show'. Shoebat also made the point that the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't just control Al Jazeera, but many other Arab news outlets, including newspaper publications and radio stations. They are just one part of a larger propaganda organization.
So why is this apparently poorly kept secret still a secret? I would imagine it has to do with our own media perception of not only Al Jazeera, but the Muslim Brotherhood itself. If it isn't those like Sam Donaldson, who recently praised Al Jazeera, it is apologists like Reza Aslan at The Daily Beast who are being dishonest about the terrorist organization. This failure by the mainstream media only goes to give credibility to both groups, further undermining the West and its allies in the Middle East.
While many don't trust tradition media outlets due to apparent biases, Al Jazeera isn't simply a biased news source, it's a propaganda outlet for the Muslim Brotherhood. This isn't hyperbole, its fact. They're just another part of a terrorist campaign, manufacturing news at the discretion of the worst of Islamic fundamentalists organizations.

Plot: England had a great chance to start the campaign with a bang and duly delivered. The match, which saw Tom Cleverley's first competitive start for his country, was controlled by Roy Hodgson's side from start to finish. A first-half brace from Frank Lampard and a Jermain Defoe goal saw the Three Lions head into half-time deservedly 3-0 up, and the win was secured by James Milner's powerful strike and Leighton Baines' deflected free-kick, both coming in the final 15 minutes of the game. The score didn't flatter England, with the result truly reflective of England's dominance and Hodgson was understandably delighted with his side's performance.

Mumbai, Mar 13 : Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has said that he was happy to be called 'No. 2' of Indian cinema.
Aamir had recently remarked that he himself was the numerouno of Bollywood and Shahrukh was only number two.
To this, Shahrukh Khan's reply was: "Aamir is a dear friend and if he has said that I am the No. 2 actor, it is a great compliment to me".
"We have great regard for each other. He is 100 per cent number one," he said addressing a press conference for Indian Premier League here.
Shahrukh, whose recent flick 'Om Shanti Om' was pitted against Aamir's critically acclaimed 'Tare Zameen Par,' described the latter as "an intellectual and intelligent person".
"We are completely opposite. The only similarity is that we are both Khans," Shahrukh said, terming him as "a more instinctive and physical actor".
Aamir, while talking to reporters on Wednesday said, "Well what can I say. Shahrukh always likes to be in the second position".
When asked that if he had a chance to interview Shahrukh, what would be his first question, the actor said, "That's a tricky question. I would ask Shahrukh how does it feel to be second after Aamir?"
