News & Articles
COLOSTRUM is the immune milk produced by all mammals for only the first few hours before and after birth. Supercharged with 97 immune factors and 87 growth factors, bovine Colostrum is natures first food. Its adaptogenic properties have been known to enhance rejuvenation and regeneration while strengthening the immune system, allowing your body to thrive under any circumstance.
Widely known for its potent anti-aging benefits and broad spectrum probiotics in their whole food forms, bovine Colostrum supports good digestion and is extremely dense in nutrition, helping to support your health and longevity strategy. SurThrival Colostrum powder is Grade A quality, harvested from growth-hormone free cows and only harvested after the newborn calves get their share. This is true, third party verified 6 hour Colostrum powder. SurThrival cow colostrum is low temperature spray-dried and contains no unnecessary fillers or additives.
Colostrum feature elements:
Harvested only after the newborn calves get their share.
Full fat, SurThrival Colostrum is never de-fatted like many commercial colostrum powders and formulas.
Third Party Verified True 6-Hour Colostrum.
Natures most complete whole food.
Tested to be free from herbicides, antibiotics and synthetic hormones.
Processed under 115 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Low Temperature spray dried to preserve bioactivity.
A functional food, supercharged with 97 Immune Factors and 87 known Growth Factors.
Supportive to digestive health and a balanced intestinal environment.
A complete protein containing all essential Amino Acids, Fatty Acids and Glyconutrients.
Colostrinin, also known as Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRP), is derived from bovine colostrum and have been shown to be effective in the treatment of many health conditions, most notably neuro-degenerative conditions (such as Alzheimers), viral infections, auto-immune conditions, asthma, and allergic conditions.
PRP has been noted for its geno-protective properties, being anti-mutigenic, and reducing the rate of mutation in cells exposed to UVA, UVB, and other oxidative stresses.
While many studies have been performed using isolated PRPs, it is our belief that nutrients are always more effective when used in their whole-food form, as found in nature, and when synergistically supported by the rich matrix of nutrients they are found within.
While Colostrinin represents a near miracle nutrient, it is just one class of nutrients found in bovine colostrum.
Suggested Uses:
As a skin mask: Mix colostrum with a little water and/or honey and even a clay of your choice to make an amazing at home facial. Simply apply to skin, allow to dry, and rinse.
Topically to promote healing of cuts, abrasions, surgical incisions, and even burns: Mix colostrum with sterile water of choice to form a paste. Cover wound with the paste to promote healing and minimize scarring. Cover with a bandage and/or sterile gauze and re-apply with dressing changes.
Supplement for Pets: Many users report positive benefits when supplementing their pets diets with bovine colostrum. Please commence further research prior to choosing a dosage amount for pets. It is generally reported that a small amount is either sprinkled on food or mixed in with wet food.
Many bodybuilding supplements and protein powders are loaded with chemical sweeteners
If you take a look at the ingredients in bodybuilding supplements and protein powders at most health food stores, you'll find that they contain an array of questionable ingredients, such as aspartame, saccharin, fructose, and artificial colors. I've always found it interesting to note how unhealthy many of these bodybuilding products really are. Rather than being made with natural ingredients, and sweetened with items like stevia, they are sweetened with chemicals and made with ingredients that are certainly less than healthful. And why? Because bodybuilders continue to purchase these supplements. In other words, the supplement manufacturers are simply meeting the demands of bodybuilding consumers.
But one question remains:
why are so many bodybuilders so unconcerned with their health? It's something that's been frequently observed in the bodybuilding community: people consuming any products, no matter how dangerous to their health, in order to build more lean body mass and look better for competitions and photo opportunities. This is the case, of course, with the use of illegal steroids for enhancing muscle mass. It's a dangerous trend -- not only in terms of steroids, but also with protein supplements that contain toxic ingredients such as aspartame.
Let's take a closer look
at the problem with aspartame, and see how it affects the human body. In my opinion, aspartame should have been banned a long time ago due to its toxicity and potential for nerve damage. When aspartame is consumed, it breaks down into two chemical compounds in the human body: formic acid and formaldehyde. Formic acid is an irritant -- the same chemical produced by fire ants-- and doesn't belong in the bloodstream. But the bigger problem here is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, as you may remember from high school biology class, is a preservative. Now, this doesn't mean that by consuming aspartame you are going to stop aging. Rather, it means that you are going to suffer the side effects from ingesting this preservative chemical.
is listed as an environmental toxin by the EPA, and when ingested in the human body, it causes widespread nerve damage: damage to the optic nerve, brain cells, and the nerve cells that control body movement. That's why aspartame has been so strongly linked to migraine headaches, muscle tremors, vision problems, and mental confusion. These are characteristics that most bodybuilders should hope to avoid. After all, how can you appear healthy if your nervous system is being destroyed by a toxic ingredient you are consuming on a regular basis?
The only sweetening ingredient
that I recommend in a bodybuilding supplement is stevia. Stevia is derived from an herb -- the sweetleaf herb -- that's native to Central and South America. Stevia does not affect blood sugar levels, it has virtually no calories, and there are absolutely no toxicities associated with its use. It has been used safely around the world for literally thousands of years, and is, in fact the alternative sweetener of choice in diet soft drinks in countries such as Japan. However, in the United States, stevia has been oppressed by the FDA, which has denied its use in food and beverage products, most likely to protect the profits of aspartame manufacturers. Because, after all, if stevia were legalized, aspartame sales would plummet, and as we know, the FDA is far more interested in protecting the profits of private industry rather than public health.

SunWarrior Protein Wins Editor's Choice Award for Raw, Vegan, Brown Rice Protein Concentrate (NaturalNews)
If you're into a plant-based diet and all the health and performance benefits that come from eating plants, it's difficult to find a high-quality source of supplemental protein. Until now, traditional sources have been soy protein, yellow pea protein, hemp seed protein, brown rice protein and mesquite flour. But each of these has problems. Isolated soy protein, for example, is a cheap, low-end protein "filler" protein that's often extracted with chemical solvents (and can even be made from genetically-modified soybeans!). This is why it's the No. 1 protein used in all those cheap, low-end protein bars found at the grocery store.
Hemp protein, on the other hand,
is nutritionally very rich, but it often has an annoyingly high "grit" factor, and the taste is not very pleasing to many consumers (I still eat lots of hemp protein, though, due to its outstanding nutritional profile). Brown rice protein also seems to have a high grit factor, and it never seemed to offer sufficient assimilation to provide all the protein I needed in my diet. That's why, until now, I had never found a source of brown rice protein that I really liked.
All that changed when I received a phone
call from Brent Hauver at SunWarrior (www.SunWarrior.com). He had gotten my phone number from David Wolfe at Sunfood Nutrition (www.SunFood.com), who was convinced that I needed to know about this new "silky smooth" brown rice protein that was about to be launched. He said it was both raw and vegan, and that it trounced every other plant-based protein product on the market today in terms of assimilation and performance. Strong claims, yes. But could they be true?
In this article, you'll hear my full review
of this breakthrough SunWarrior brown rice protein concentrate. I'll reveal why I've come to the conclusion almost everyone can benefit from this supplemental protein (including women, children and senior citizens), and how it helped me break through a strength plateau in my own training at the gym. Better yet, you'll also learn about an exclusive, time-limited discount offered only to NaturalNews readers. Feel free to just skip right to the discount code, below, if you're ready to try SunWarrior protein for yourself. (Note: I earn nothing from the sales of this product. This is a 100% independent, non-commercial product review.)
My introduction to SunWarrior Protein
When Brent enthusiastically described SunWarrior protein to me, I was naturally skeptical. I've got a lot of products showing up at my door every day, and some are described with some fairly outrageous claims, but knowing the integrity of David Wolfe and Sunfood, I decided to go visit Brent Hauver in person and find out for myself if this protein product lived up to its claims. I got that chance at the Expo West gathering in Anaheim, California, where over 3,000 natural living product vendors get together to show off their latest products to buyers like Whole Foods, Vitacost, and individual health food chains from around the world.
On the first morning, just after the exposition doors opened, I darted over to the SunWarrior booth and introduced myself to Brent Hauver, the founder of SunWarrior. Brent is really tall, with a wide smile and a level of enthusiasm for natural living that's ridiculously contagious. Within minutes we were talking about global transformation through the pursuit of a plant-based diet, and why animal-based protein products are being increasingly replaced with plant-based protein supplements by discerning consumers.
Brent tells me his new SunWarrior protein product is raw, GMO-free, vegan, fermented brown rice protein, and that what's in the canister is 85% pure protein! He also says it's silky smooth, without any of the grit usually associated with brown rice protein products. This is accomplished, Brent explains, through a high-tech microfiltration process conducted at very low temperatures (room temperature, essentially), which keeps the product raw. No chemical solvents whatsoever are used in the processing of this brown rice protein concentrate. I interrupted Brent to remind him that I still hadn't tasted the product to see for myself what it was like. He chuckled, reached under the booth table, pulled out a 2.2 lb. container of SunWarrior "Natural" Protein, and with a magician's flourish, whipped back a curtain, revealing a Vita-Mix blender. (Score! A Vita-Mix on the road is worth its weight in gold, I've discovered...) I scooped up three or four heaping spoons of SunWarrior protein, chucked it into the Vita-Mix, then poured in a container of unsweetened hemp milk I'd scored the night before. After a 15-second blend, I poured the resulting brown rice protein milk into a cup and chugged it.
Wow... Brent was right. No grit! This stuff was not only exquisitely delicious, it was also silky smooth. As smooth as the best whey protein powders, yet it was made from brown rice! This made it easy to swallow, and the taste was phenomenal: Just a hint of natural sweetness, with absolutely none of the sharp taste overtones you might find in hemp protein or soy protein. I instantly knew I could blend this into any smoothie -- fruit, chocolate, tropical, whatever! -- and the taste would fit right in.
On top of that, this product had no chemical sweeteners, no refined sugars, no dairy, no soy, no genetically-modified ingredients... this looked like the plant-based protein product I was searching for!
Why a professional bodybuilder switched to SunWarrior Protein
I won't go into all the rest of the technical details of what Brent described to me: How the product is fermented, for example, to make the amino acids far more bioavailable, and why this greatly enhances absorption, making it superior to any other plant-based protein source he'd ever seen. I agreed this was a big benefit, because as a person who works out at the gym quite a bit, I'm usually disappointed with plant-based protein products. They usually don't provide the absorption I'm looking for, and they leave me feeling hungry and under-nourished.
That's when superstar bodybuilder Wade McNutt stopped by the booth. He's a champion bodybuilder with a freakishly ripped physique. I slapped a microphone on Wade and pressed record on my portable audio recorder as he talked about why whey protein caused him bloating and gas, but after finding SunWarrior protein, his waist slimmed down, all the bloating went away, and he was getting some crazy-good results at the gym... all from SunWarrior brown rice protein! (You can check out Wade McNutt's "natural bodybuilding" site, if you're curious, at: www.WadeBodySystems.com)
With all this enthusiasm about the SunWarrior product, I told Brent I would give it the Health Ranger test: I would take it home, work out with it for 2-3 months as my primary protein source and find out what it did for me personally. So I bought several large canisters from Brent, stacked them into the back of my van, and drove back to Tucson after the show, ready to start the test.
Who Needs Supplemental Protein
You don't have to be working out in the gym, of course, to benefit from supplemental protein. A lot of natural health consumers are eating and drinking so many plants that they don't get the level of protein they would need for optimum performance. This is even true of women; especially those who are pregnant.
High-quality protein, I've discovered, is absolutely crucial for maintaining a healthy heart and healthy digestive system. Often, people suffering from Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome see their symptoms completely disappear when they shift to a high-assimilation plant-based protein product. I've even heard of asthma and arthritis vanishing! (Because animal products cause inflammation, of course...)
Getting off of animal products and onto a plant-based diet, in fact, is likely the single most beneficial decision you can make in your own diet. And usually, when people do that, they're concerned about getting enough protein because they aren't eating meat anymore. Well guess what? SunWarrior Protein solves that. (Plus, you can eat quinoa, kale juice, spinach juice, nuts, seeds and lots of other plant-based protein sources.) Also, as Dr. Gabriel Cousens points out, cooking food destroys about half its protein, so eating RAW plants will also boost your protein intake substantially!
Children especially need high-quality plant-based proteins, and this SunWarrior product is the perfect way to deliver that in a tasty, sweet superfood smoothie that has absolutely no grit and no chemical additives. If you've got children and you want to feed them right, I encourage you to experiment with adding SunWarrior protein to their smoothies. Just blend it up with lots of fruits and superfoods, then sweeten with stevia, agave nectar or even raw honey! It's delicious!! (I also recommend Sunfood's raw cacao powder in those smoothies to turn them into raw chocolate powerhouse smoothies!
For anyone who exercises
-- even just walking a few times a week -- I can't say enough about this: SunWarrior Protein could very well be the product that helps you break through that performance plateau and get to the next level of strength, endurance, fitness or just pure cosmetic beauty in your own life.
People who look fit, lean and athletic are sexy! But it's only truly sexy from the inside out if they're doing it naturally, without chemicals, additives or junk protein products. That's why SunWarrior makes so much sense: It helps build an athletic physique while staying 100% natural, raw and plant-based!
By the way, I do want to interject here and say that becoming athletic also requires lots of exercise. You cannot eat your way to an athletic body. Food is crucial, but exercise is still required, no matter what. Lots of it. Fortunately, SunWarrior is exactly the kind of product that gives you the strength, endurance and adaptability that helps you pursue and enjoy far more exercise than what you might have done in the past; and that's what will give you the results you're looking for! (Weight loss, slim waist, radiant skin, better posture, ripped abs, whatever...)
How SunWarrior performs in the gym
Everybody who has seen my fitness pictures knows I'm not a super bulky muscle guy (www.HealthRanger.org/stats.html). At over six feet tall, I just don't have the proportions to look like a Wade McNutt, but I do pack a lot of strength and endurance into my much smaller muscles. In fact, I've steadily built strength over the last eight years to the point where I'm much stronger at age 38 than I was at age 30, and I'm doing things now with Capoeira, Pilates and martial arts that I could never do in my 20's (because I was eating a junk food diet then, of course).
But the big question was now: Would SunWarrior protein support significant strength and endurance gains in my own training routine?
To conduct this test, I stopped eating fish. As NaturalNews readers know, I used to eat fish from time to time as a last resort animal-based protein source. I always felt I needed the fish protein to avoid feeling hungry all the time, and even though I disliked sacrificing any living creature to feed myself, I reasoned that fish were the simplest life forms providing such protein, and thus any bad karma would be minimized. (Funny how we rationalize things like that, huh?)
Well, I'm happy to announce that SunWarrior protein worked to keep me off all animal products, period! After a few days, it became obvious to me that SunWarrior protein was providing the same high-density protein assimilation as fish meat, and I no longer needed to eat fish at all.
From that day, I have been on a 100% vegan diet! It's exciting, because as an "O" blood type, and someone who used to be prediabetic, I had always felt the need to consume a lot of protein, but suddenly, something truly magical was happening with SunWarrior Protein that completely shifted my biology and got me off fish protein for life!
But how about the training in the gym? Would SunWarrior make me weak and thin, or strong and functional?
Getting fit, lean and trim with SunWarrior Protein
It's not difficult to notice that a lot of raw foodists don't have much muscle mass. Although I completely respect the Ghandi approach to minimizing calories (and extending life), I personally do not choose to live my life in a state of hunger. I like to eat a lot of food, and I enjoy the physical freedom and athletic expression that comes from being able to do handstands, poi spinning, weight lifting and other similar functions that require significant muscle strength.
So I enjoy being strong, lean and muscular, regardless of whether it's a bit of a diversion from the usual raw foodie physique. Because I'm so serious about strength gains, I track the results of all my workouts. I know exactly how much weight I can push for how many reps, for each muscle group. Since I've kept logs for the past three years, this gave me an ideal way to test the effectiveness of SunWarrior Protein.
After blending SunWarrior Protein into my smoothies twice each day (for a week or so), I hit the gym and began the workouts. The first workout was really just a way to wake up the muscles and get them to adapt with more strength over time, so I wasn't really concerned about the strength performance on the first workout. Rather, I was more interested in how my muscles would adapt to the workout when I was on the SunWarrior Protein product!
It didn't take long for that answer to become clear. After two weeks, nearly every one of my strength exercises was UP by anywhere from 5% - 10%. One leg exercise went up by 20%! (Leg press.)
If these gains seems small, consider that I'm not some newbie to the gym. I've been working out for years, and sometimes I'll go six months with no gains whatsoever for a particular muscle group. To see a 10% strength gain in two weeks is phenomenal for a person who's already training on a regular basis.
After a few more weeks of tracking the results of over 25 exercises, the results were clear: I was gaining significant strength on this raw, vegan protein, even without the fish protein in my diet. SunWarrior was working!
And yet, it didn't make me bloated or gassy. It didn't make my muscles look bulky, either; it just help me keep them looking lean and functional -- even while I was getting stronger!
This made me an instant convert to the SunWarrior brown rice protein. I was astonished at the performance gains on this product, and knowing that it was 100% GMO-free, chemical free, sweetener free and made entirely from raw plants drove this point home even further: SunWarrior is the best plant-based protein concentrate product available today, anywhere in the world!
David Wolfe feels the same way about it. He provided this quote for this article:
"For years I have been looking for a pure, natural, superfood, protein source that tastes great, is easy to assimilate, burns fat and tones muscle. That's when I discovered Sun Warrior. At 85% protein, this is the best meal replacement strategy ever. When used with nutrient dense superfoods like my Maca Extreme, Goji Berries, Cacao Powder and Yacon Syrup you can pack more nutrition into a single smoothie than many people get in a month. From moms on the go to extreme athletes, Sun Warrior provides a quick and delicious way to get the energy and nutrition your body needs to make every day the best day ever!" - David Wolfe, founder www.sunfood.com, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System, Eating For Beauty, Amazing Grace, Naked Chocolate So now, David Wolfe, Wade McNutt and myself have all joined "Team SunWarrior," which is a group of natural living warriors who are using this product to fuel our muscles as we pursue our work in the world.
It also turns out that Brent Hauver, the founder of SunWarrior, is turning on all kinds of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) athletes to this product, and in doing so, he's getting an increasing number of those guys off the animal products and onto plant-based diets that are fine-tuned for athletic performance! Is that exciting, or what?
I love the fact that elite athletes are now starting to ditch the animal products and discover the seemingly superhuman performance attributes of eating superfoods, raw foods, and plant-based protein concentrates. This could really change the tide for mainstream America and show all those kids who look up to MMA athletes that eating McDonald's hamburgers and drinking Pepsi is NOT going to make you fit and healthy! Brent Hauver at SunWarrior is leading the charge to introduce this plant-based protein to the very top athletes in the MMA industry. I personally believe, without a doubt, that the top athletes who switch to superfoods, raw foods and plant-based diets will greatly out-perform those who don't.
I think that a plant-based diet may turn out to be the single most important factor in determining an athlete's strength, endurance, adaptability and resiliency. In fact, be sure to read my $10,000 athletic challenge, where I've personally challenged Big Pharma to produce a single person on their prescription drugs who can beat me in a physical contest. You can read that $10,000 challenge here: http://www.naturalnews.com/023476.html
What can SunWarrior protein do for you?
Regardless of what SunWarrior protein does for anybody else, the real question is: What can it do for you?
Based on my considerable research and experience in this area, here are the main benefits of SunWarrior brown rice protein:
Builds functional strength without unnecessary bulk caused by the hormones found in meat products.
Helps create a lean, athletic body with a thin waist (no gas, no bloating, no putrified meat products sitting in your gut...)
Accelerates strength gains due to the outstanding assimilation of amino acids (probably due to the fermentation process).
Tastes truly fantastic: Can be used in ANY smoothie!
Does not contain ANY garbage additives: No chemical sweeteners, no chemical solvents, no refined sugars, no dairy, no soy, no animal byproducts, nothing artificial!
Seems to be remarkably alkaline for a protein product. Animal-based proteins are highly acidic and have a huge insulin load over time, but this SunWarrior Protein has never made me acidic, even when consumed in large quantities!
Allows you to follow more of a high-protein diet without turning to animal products. Please remember to also drink lots of fresh vegetable juices, eat fruits, superfoods, nuts and seeds, too.
Is available at an almost ridiculously low price, considering the quality of what's in it (and the time-limited coupon code, see below).
Introducing Sun Warrior Protein!
A message from David Wolfe on a new source of Raw, Vegan, Super Protein:
"Sunfood Nutrition has always worked to bring the most nutrient-dense raw foods and superfoods to our customers. When our goal is to have the Best Health Ever, we should strive to have everything we eat be the Best Food Ever. Whether it's the easiest to digest or whether it assists with the absorption of nutrients from other foods, Sunfood Nutrition will always offer foods that contribute 100% to our customers' health goals.
That's why I'm proud to bring you Sun Warrior Protein, a breakthrough advancement of a nutrient-dense, traditional food. Brown rice is used by billions of people the world over to build strength, maintain abundant energy levels, and achieve their higher life goals. Sun Warrior Protein focuses the nutrient profile of brown rice, turning a nutrient-dense food into a highly bio-available, almost pure protein superfood.
We know that many types of protein powder such as whey or soy can become less effective over time, and may even prove harmful when taken continuously. Many people have asked me about a simple product that they can take every day, which will also help them build muscle mass and feel great. That is when we discovered raw brown rice protein. Sun Warrior Protein combines the hypoallergenic reputation of rice with highly available, concentrated nutrition. Sun Warrior Protein is composed of 85% pure protein, and has been shown to have the highest conversion rate of amino acids to protein among all protein powders currently available. Sun Warrior Protein has been designed specifically for athletes, body builders, and all those looking for a raw vegan protein which is easy to digest and tastes great."
Aloha! David Wolfe
Mike Mahler on Sun Warrior Protein Mike is well known as one of the leading experts on effective kettlebell training for size, strength, fat loss and conditioning.
Finally a protein powder that is organic, tastes great, and will not cause nausea and have you running to the bathroom with the runs!
Over the last couple years, Mike has always passed along sound nutritional advice that has positively affected my performance. Recently, I mentioned that I was having trouble finding a protein powder I was happy with. Mike recommended Sun Warrior Protein and I have been very satisfied with the results. It's a high quality supplement with a good amino acid profile that doesn't produce many of the negative side effects (ex. bloating) associated with most protein powders. --Ken Blackburn Director of Operations for the IKFF www.extremeathletictraining.com
It is not often that I get excited about protein powder. Most protein powders taste terrible and are loaded with unhealthy chemical ingredients. Sure I have used a few protein powders that are decent but none that actually motivated me to want to sell them on my website until recently. Not too long ago the guys at Sunwarrior were nice enough to send me a few bottles of their rice protein to test drive. Honestly I was expecting another terrible tasting rice protein like all of the other options that are on the marketplace. To my pleasant surprise I was actually shocked with how great the vanilla and chocolate flavors are. Unlike most protein powders both the vanilla and chocolate flavors taste good in water. This is the true test of a protein powder as you can make just about any protein powder taste great by mixing it with tons of fruits in a blender. However, if it tastes good in just water then you know you have a winner. That said the protein powder in water is not enough for everyone so make sure you give some of the protein shake and protein bar recipes a shot when you get the protein powder: Protein Shake and Protein Bar Recipes
Here is a video review of the protein by Mike Adams of www.naturalnews.com
For more information on the Sunwarrior rice protein and why you should use it, read the below interview with one of the founders of Sunwarrior Brent Hauver:
MM: What inspired you to get into the protein powder business and why did you choose rice protein as your focus?
BH: Great question- I was a raw food Vegan for over 17 years, but ran into some problems. I lost weight, and at 6' 4" was down to 145 lbs. It was like my ability to digest food was gone and I was wasting away. So in desperation I started searching for something to help regain my strength and muscle. I found it in Sunwarrior protein. After 11 months on Sunwarrior protein, I gained 50 lbs, most of it all lean muscle mass. My energy levels went through the roof and started breaking records on my lifts. What I needed was a Protein Superfood that could help me nourish and heal my body and Sunwarrior went above and beyond my expectations.
MM: Why should people choose the Sunwarrior Rice protein over other protein powders on the market?
BH: What makes Sunwarrior protein so different than other proteins is that we use a unique natural holistic bio-fermentation process that combines the sprouted endosperm and the bran from Raw Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice that results in a massive increase in Lysine and essential and non-essential amino acids. This creates a perfectly balanced amino acid profile that is easy to digest and assimilate. Also, have you ever heard of Gamma Oryzanol? MM: Yes however most of my visitors probably have not. What are the benefits of Gamma Oryzanol? BH: The Japanese have been using and studying this natural compound for years. Gamma Oryzanol is found in different parts of rice, in particular the Rice germ and Rice Bran. What the Japanese have found is that Gamma Oryzanol can increase muscle mass, is a potent anti-oxidant and is very effective in healing ulcers and other things. Well, guess what Because Sun Warrior Protein is made from Bio-Fermented Raw Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice (with the bran and germ) is has Gamma Oryzanol in it. MM: Sounds great and are there any other reasons why people should choose the Sunwarrior protein over others? BH: Yes, one thing to remember is that if you take whey or Soy protein for a long time, you will eventually develop an allergy to them. Most body builders know this and will switch proteins every 5 to 6 months. The nice thing about Sunwarrior is that it is Hypoallergenic meaning that it does not develop allergies.
MM: So this means that unlike soy, whey, and egg protein powders people will not develop allergies to the Sunwarrior rice protein?
BH: Exactly. MM: Many argue that vegetarian protein sources are inferior to animal protein sources. What would you say to them? BH: You know Mike that is another good question- In fact Most vegetable and rice proteins on the market today use a chemical non-holistic process that produces an unnatural hard to digest protein lacking in essential and non essential amino acids- especially lysine. We use old world process of combining the sprouted endosperm and the bran from Raw Sprouted Whole Grain Brown Rice. This unique process creates the first complete hypoallergenic Protein which is made up of all 9 essential amino acids and other non-essential amino acids in a perfectly balanced amino acid profile. In fact our comparison by an independent lab show that we are equal to or higher in some cases to the amino acid profile of Egg, Whey and Beef. Sunwarrior is created with a Low Temperature natural Enzyme process that does not use any chemicals or acid hydrolysis (like most proteins do).
MM: What has been the feedback thus far with the protein powder?
BH: Incredible In fact I will include some of the responses here:
I'm almost out and have almost become addicted to this stuff. I put it in room tempt water and it tastes sooo good! I'm in good health but by golly this has kicked up my energy and sense of well-being. It is truly all you say it is. I've used protein powders for years but never liked the bases used, especially the soy. And I'm not talking the taste of it but the nutritional value. So I was so pleased to see the rice base and amazed at how much better it makes me feel and the wonderful taste is a real bonus! THANK YOU for a wonderful product. Addictedly yours :)Anna
I just love the vegan protein powder that I received. I'm not a vegan or even a vegetarian, as I do eat some meat and a little raw dairy. I do usually have at least one vegan meal a day. I can't tolerate a lot of sugar and eat meat because I really do better with protein. This protein powder is great. I've only had it for two days, so haven't had a chance to experiment much yet. I put some in my vita-mix with chocolate almond milk, coconut milk and stevia. It was luscious, like a milk shake. Thank you so much for this incredible product. Bonnie Franciosi
MM: The price for your protein powder is close to $50.00 for 2lbs. Many of the popular protein powders on the market now are sold for around $35.00 for 2lbs. Why should the consumer be willing to pay nearly 50% more for the sun warrior protein powder?
BH: Yes I can understand this. Let me make some cases for Sunwarrior. Many people think that protein is protein. But of course we know that this is not true. You can buy low end hydrolyzed (chemically processed) protein for cheap that is low quality, and has a low assimilation rate and causes intestinal disturbances and tastes like garbage. Or you can buy a natural process high quality protein that has a high absorption rate and easy to digest, has high efficacy and health value and tastes great. Your choice- You get what you pay for. Also, In my opinion there are too many body builders and athletes that take so much protein and yet they do not assimilate the protein that they have taken in. After it is all about digestion and assimilation. Because Sunwarrior is predigested with biofermentation and enzymes it has a 98 to 99% digestion efficiency. That means that you do not need to take as much to get the results you need. Third, Sunwarrior is a functional food or in other words a food that is nutritious and tastes good but also has awesome healing properties. Here are some more reasons to use sunwarrior:
1. Sunwarrior is Naturally Rich in Vitamins and Minerals, Sun Warrior Protein contains high amounts of antioxidants Tocopherols, and Tocotrienols and other essential nutrients – such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, iron and potassium.
2. There is currently a clinical trial which shows promise that our Rice Protein aids in the absorption of vitamins. There has been a direct correlation between the use of Sun Warrior Protein and the absorption of vitamins in aids patients where other proteins do not provide such synergistic affects during the intake.
3. Weight Loss-Clinical studies in Japan have showed that by providing Rice Protein as a staple in a diet, that it can be used as a weight control vehicle. Especially, because of the superior absorption rates.
4. Diabetes- There are Clinical Studies going on right now which show that because of the balanced nutritional profile of our rice, it helps to actually maintain the diabetic affects of sugars, which could be used in diabetic products to help control insulin levels.
5. Cholesterol-Clinical studies have shown promise that our rice protein has cholesterol lowering potential and the USDA is currently using Sun Warrior in trials to see if it, it may help control high blood pressure.
MM: thanks for the great information Brent and I am certainly a big fan of sunwarrior rice protein and look forward to passing on the benefits to my customers.

I am a female photographer based in Sunshine Coast QLD Australia (however I often travel to Brisbane,, Melbourne, Sydney and other states).
I have created this web site as a temple to human beauty, which I believe should be liberated from the social restrictions that suggest no woman, and indeed no person of either gender has a right to be more beautiful than any other. I hope for a world in which, freed from such concepts, we learn to love instead of hate, cooperate instead of fight, and live in balance and happiness instead of fear. I welcome all those who agree that beauty, happiness, and peace should be shared.
My father is a professional photographer and I grew up around cameras and darkrooms, first in Ukraine and then Israel, helping out at the Weddings and various shoots my dad was doing by shooting, with film at the time, and some times shooting video as well. When I moved to Australia at the age of 16, modelling and then photography were a natural career choice given my experience and understanding of how to pose the human body and use its figure and shape as a tool to create art.
Ultimately, I create images for people to enjoy, cherish and look back at many years later. I certainly look with pride and a bit of nostalgia at my own images from my modeling days.
We live in a world with many responsibilities and much work. When we finally have time of our own, it can be great to look at a thing of beauty, and after all, is there anything more beautiful than the human form?
About me:
I'm a full time photographer, and a mum to beautiful baby boy Jean-Andrew who is our assistant in training for the foreseeable future. Jean-Andrew came along Dec 08, in an amazing home water birth in Sydney. Since then all of us moved to Melbourne.
What inspires me in Photography is helping people with their self confidence and self esteem 'cause what else can make a girl feel better than being spoilt for a day, seeing how professional models feel, then forever have the photos to cherish.
Remember that everyone has potential to look amazing, with a bit of make up, hair styling, directing in to great poses and a bit of Photoshop which I try to keep to a minimum, to have the photos looking natural not plastic and yet making that tiny change to make everyone looking their very best.
I love capturing the beautiful moments that otherwise could have been forgotten.
Although my father is a photographer, and I pretty much grew up in the dark room, and shot weddings from the age of 12, it was my partner
Kelly who really inspired me to get back in to photography after my years as a model. He is the one who made me everything I am now, as a person, photographer and air-brusher. He is also our lighting specialist and assistant on many of the shoots.
On a personal note:
I've been born an artist, have been drawing, painting and writing books since a very early age. Everything creative always attracted me.
I'm also in to spirituality, natural living and energy works.
My likes: Photography, all that's beautiful, dancing to trance music, chocolate, sunsets, waterfalls, new age, tarot, reiki, chess, gym, bikes, being awake at night and sleeping in in the morning, lazy weekends (although oh so rare)....
Dislikes: Cigarettes, smoking, jealous people, ones who judge others, closed minded people and the goodie2shoes....
I came from a mixed background, and speak a few languages, used to be a glamour model for 6 years, as well as studying natural therapies, counselling and reiki.
I incorporate all my skills in to my work now which I totally love.
Traveled all over the world, and lived in most Australian states.
I'm very open minded, never judge people, and always quiet although quite determined to achieve everything I ever wanted.
About my Photography:
We offer:
Full Portfolios for models, and aspiring models.
Glamour / sexy shoots for women - as a present for themselves or for their loved one.

Condor Tactical Double Flashbang / Large Grenade Pouch (Color: Black)
2 Customer Reviews
by Ryan R. on 03/21/2015
"Awesome pouch it holds the Tornado grenade with only a little coaxing and it fits snugly with no catches. I'd recommend this pouch to anyone buying Tornado grenades and looking to store them on their gear.
by Erick H. on 02/24/2015
"I really like this pouch, Five star product! The build quality seems to be good and I see no flawed stitching. The molle attachment system works great and has snaps for a secure feeling. I'm using this pouch to hold two thunder Bs. They fit VERY tight and secure. I'd imagine it will stretch out a bit and make the loading process a little easier.
On the negative side I cant see this pouch working tornado grenades.

coconut oil - making molds
I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I figured it might help someone!
I started feeding the dogs coconut oil a month or two ago. We got the tubs from Costco. We keep the house cool enough that the coconut oil is a solid - and it's a pain to scrape it out of the tub for each dog. Not to mention it's impossible to measure how much they're getting.
I was thinking about a better way to feed it a while ago, and came up with the idea of candy or baking molds...so we went shopping today in search of some molds to try.
At AC Moore (craft store) we had a 55% off coupon - I got this nice silicone "mini-loaf" pan for about $7, the slots are about the size of a stick of butter. We also got some peanut butter cup candy molds to try.
I gently heated the coconut oil in my double boiler, distributed it into the molds, stuck them outside to cool...and voila! They popped right out of the molds.
The peanut butter cup molds held about 1.5 tbsp of oil - I'm not sure exactly how much the "butter" mold held, but I'd guess almost half a cup.
I'm really happy with how they turned out, and this will make feeding coconut oil MUCH easier. :happyboogie:
I have little racecar jello molds, wonder if they'd work(I'd need to cool the oil some for sure!)
Very good idea, I hate scraping out the jar, it seems to fly out of the spoon when I do it!
Thanks for sharing!
Coconut oil melts at 76 degrees, so you don't have to heat it a whole lot to get it to melt. I tried to heat it very gently, in case the heat would damage the oil.
The candy molds I got were cheap plastic, but they worked out great.
Something like this...
I was also thinking - if I have any other supplements to give, I could mix them right into the bar and just dose everything at once. I'd just have to figure out the dosage/proportions.
I just use the cheap little plastic ice trays. Hahaha. I am old enough to have those in my memory banks.
Looks like an albino Reese's peanut butter cup.
Wow great idea!! And you're right- it IS a pain to scrape out the oil, especially near the bottom of the container. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome idea! This forum is great! Thanks for sharing!

What kind of coconut oil are you using?
The one I have is the consistency of Vaseline and I just scoop up a teaspoon full with a fork.
The oil should be organic, extra-virgin. Mine is also hard (my house is always cold) but I just chunk it off with a spoon. When it is really hard a grapefruit spoon works great (if any of you know what that is!).
I would be careful about putting something that's been heated into cheap plastic molds...they do leach carcinogens.

Redbridge Cycling Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redbridge Cycling Centre is a road cycle circuit and mountain bike course at Hog Hill – near Hainault Forest Country Park and directly opposite the Forest Cemetery & Crematorium. The £5m cost of the facility was funded by the London Development Agency (LDA) as a replacement the former Eastway cycle facilities that were redeveloped for the London Olympic Park. The LDA will be funding the facility up to the completion of the legacy London Velopark. It was opened by Boris Johnson in August 2008.[1]
In 2014, Redbridge Council agreed to purchase Redbridge Cycling Centre from the Crown Estate using a grant from the London Marathon Charitable Trust.[2]

Visitors: Senior Vice President Carol Eastman, Vice President David Yount, Dean W.H. Yeh
Meeting was called to order by at 3:10 PM by Chair Alison Kay.
W.H. Raymond Yehís Welcome
Dean Yeh welcomed the UH Faculty Senate to the new Architecture building which has been open one week. The building has redefined the old quadrangle by providing the fourth wall for the largest outdoor space on the Manoa campus.
A grassroots effort to landscape the quadrangle in order to make the area an outdoor space for learning is underway. A group of landscape architects has created a design for the space and Dean Yeh hopes, with the help of the ìquad squadî and others, to make this plan a reality.
Now that the building is complete the Architecture School is planning to invite more interaction with UH faculty, staff and the wider community. A series of lunch lecture, art exhibits and workshops is being planned. A major upcoming event, the First International Symposium on Asian Pacific Architecture, is scheduled for March 22-25, 1995, and UH faculty will be charged a registration fee of $25.
Carol Eastmanís Report
Vice President Eastman reported that the Board of Regents (BOR) has approved the early retirement incentive program which will result in 70 percent of the positions vacated by early retirement being returned to the University immediately. In order for each unit to get back any of these positions, the unit head must explain how the position fits into the future of the unit and why the position is necessary to ensure this vision for the future is realized.
The other 30 percent of the vacated positions were supposed to come back to the University after a year. However, given the budget crisis that State government is expected to face this year, these positions may not be returned in the near future.
Vice President Eastman reported that the Focus on Manoa Committee has met twice. Since the teaching priorities (as put forth by the Faculty Senate as a results of last yearís budgeting process) and the market based priorities (as put forth by the BOR) have been identified, some members of the committee are feeling that no more needs to be said to the President about what should be done at Manoa in the future. However, Vice President Eastman still thinks that the group can provide some valuable input to the President. For example, she believes the group could complement the work of the ìquad squadî mentioned by Dean Yeh by recommending that the Manoa campus be made more attractive and user friendly. The results of the Faculty Senateís recent morale survey, indicate improvement in the campus would be welcome.
Vice President Eastman attended the opening of the Legislature and heard some support for having tuition returned to the university. While Vice President Eastman is unsure about how President Mortimer feels about this issue, she thinks it would be a good idea. She reported that tuition amounted to $32.5 million for the UH system for the past academic year. A bill to repeal the procurement law is being supported by the University and other state agencies.
President Mortimer has just informed Vice President Eastman that she will be responsible for a systematic review of Deans which will be completed in conjunction with the review of their units. She gave the UH Faculty Senate credit for encouraging the President to undertake this systematic review. In response to questions about whether faculty will be involved in the review process, Vice President Eastman said she hopes faculty will be involved and recommended that the UH Faculty Senate continue to aggressively pursue the issue. In response to a query about whether directors will also be reviewed, Vice President Eastman said that Senior Vice President for Research and Graduate Education Dean Smith, who starts April 3, may be responsible for undertaking the review of directors.
Vice President Eastman expressed her regret that the new degree programs have been sitting in Bachman waiting for final approval. For months, there has been reluctance to bring them before the BOR because of the poor financial condition of the State. The four programs that do not cost anything, including the BAs in Ethnic Studies and Korean, have now been approved by the BOR. She hopes that among the remaining programs, those that will contribute most to the economic situation of the State and the University, while at the same time ensure the successful realization of the unitís future, will be moved to the BOR next.
She reinforced news reports that the Law School is in very little danger of going on academic probation.
The minutes of the December 14, 1994 meeting were approved, after the correction of three typos, as distributed.
Committee on Academic Policy and Programs (CAPP) Report
Chair Tom Ramsey reported that CAPP had planned to edit a response to the Senate motion made at the November 16, 1994, meeting that CAPP form an ad hoc working group composed of eminent scholars from the Manoa faculty to investigate the allegations that academic freedom has been violated in the matter of the alleged interference with admission criteria and standards of the Law School. However, this response was written under the assumption that if the State Ethics Committee investigated complaints made by the former Law School Dean, then Jeremy Harris would be unable to discuss the matter with CAPP. Recently, CAPP learned that this is not the case and that Mr. Harris may be willing to speak to CAPP in three or four weeks. Therefore, CAPP will be reporting further on the matter at the next meeting.
Chair Kayís Report
Chair Kay attended the BOR meetings last Thursday and Friday and was pleased to reported that when the President put forth the BAs in Ethnic Studies and Korean, he announced that they had been approved by the UH Faculty Senate. She was very pleased that the President placed such importance on our opinion.
Chair Kay heard David Lasner present the strategic plan for information technology at the BOR meeting and at the Deans and Directorís meeting on the morning of January 18. In response to complaints about the telephone system, he explained that with the increase in buildings, faxes and modems, the system is overloaded. He says extra lines are being provided and modem lines will be separated so that on January 18 things should improve and by February 1 things should greatly improve. If things have not improved after February 1, let her know. Chair Kay asked Senate members if they were interested in hearing Lasner's report; the response was affirmative.
Colleen Sathre gave a report on enrollment management to the BOR and Chair Kay felt the Congress might find it interesting. A straw vote indicated that the Senate agreed that the report should be presented at the next Congress meeting.
Chair Kay announced that four positions in Carol Eastmanís office, two for program officers and two for vice presidents, are being advertised. She encouraged faculty to get the word out and apply themselves, if interested.
Chair Kay reported that in response to her requests for the Senate Executive Committee (SEC) to meet with the Governor, she was told that the Governor will be meeting with the co-chairs of the All Campus Council of Faculty Senate Chairs (ACCFSC). Of the SECís three agenda items, including the Governorís BOR appointments, the importance of funding improvements for Hamilton Library, and the need to revise the new Procurement Law, Hamilton Library may not be of interest to other ACCFSC members, but it could be couched with the need to maintain the Universityís capital improvement priorities.
Chair Kay and John Haak will be meeting with the chairs of the legislative committees of Higher Education soon to discuss Hamilton Library. In addition, the SEC will be pursuing meeting with these chairs and the Governor to inform them of our agenda.
Chair Kay reported that the systemwide meeting on general education, scheduled for March 25-26, ìwill be entitled ìComing to Consensus on General Education: One Path or Many? About 80 UHM faculty have been invited to attend; others should let Chair Kay know of their interest.
Chair Kay said the SEC was still working on the issues previously suggested by the Senate and asked if the anyone has any more concerns, comments, suggestions or recommendations. A suggestion that University autonomy should be stressed over more specific issues was made. Chair Kay commented that President Mortimer recently made this point with the Governor and that the Governor did express some support for this concept. Another suggestion that the Governor is likely to be a friend of UH and that a positive attitude that highlights what UH can do for the State would be the most productive stance we could take was also made.
There was no old business and no new business. The meeting was adjourned at 3:55 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Linda J. Cox

Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has taken this step literally by signing Jamaican international goalie Donovan Ricketts, and while Caribbean keepers are hardly in heavy demand, Arena vehemently disputes another tenet of more recent vintage, one that questions if a team burdened by the salary hits of two Designated Players can flourish under the league's repressive salary cap.
"There's no reason in the world for me to believe that having Landon Donovan and David Beckham on your team is a handicap," says Arena. "However, we've disproved that notion and it's my job to turn that around in 2009."
Proponents of said theory pointed to New York, which floundered with both Juan Pablo Angel and Claudio Reyna on the payroll, though the Red Bulls still grappled with Reyna's salary after he retired in midseason, yet they made it to MLS Cup. Ergo, thereupon many critics swiveled their accusing digits 180 degrees to the other Americana mega-melting pot, Los Angeles, and its wayward aristocracy, the Galaxy.
Only Beckham is classified as a DP, but since The Grandfathered One, Donovan, takes as big a chunk of cap space as would a second DP, the math can be worked out more or less the same. (Donovan is also grandfathered for 2009.) The numbers look much better now then they did earlier this year, when the acquisition of Carlos Ruiz top-loaded its cap with $1 million for those three players. By dumping Ruiz off on Toronto, the Galaxy has cleared enough cap room to be competitive. (TFC just announced it was releasing Ruiz.)
Since only base salaries and guaranteed compensation, not salary-cap numbers, are released by the MLS Players' Union, and few details of how much allocation money is allotted by the league and changes hands between teams are publicized, only guesstimates can be made while assembling an 18-man roster that can fit under the cap.
The keepers, besides Ricketts, would seem to be Beckham, Donovan, defender Sean Franklin and forward Edson Buddle. They'll add up to about $950,000 against the cap, and with Ricketts' (undisclosed) salary added in, the cap hit runs into seven figures but just barely.
(The cap number for 2009, according to sources, has yet to be determined. It was either $2.18 million or $2.3 million in 2008, and in these tough times isn't likely to go up much, if at all.) But even using those numbers, if LA gets approximately $350,000 in allocation money for missing the playoffs, as is suspected, it can work the math.
Suppose defender Bobby Burling, who earned $17,700 (base salary) as a rookie in 2008, can be persuaded to change locker rooms at Home Depot Center and leave Chivas USA in a trade for a better deal, say in the range of $60,000. The Galaxy has already jettisoned Greg Vanney ($91,800) and by wiping defender Eduardo Dominguez ($192,000) off the cap produces a net gain of more than $200,000 just in the back line.
The Galaxy can thus find an experienced central defender, sign Franklin to a much better contract and move him to right back, and maybe find a better and cheaper option than Ante Jazic ($120,000) at left back. Chris Klein ($150,000) stays only if the other pieces fit and Becks keeps winging across the Atlantic to play for England.
There's wiggle room in midfield, certainly, with the 2008 numbers of Peter Vagenas ($144,000) and Alvaro Pires ($100k) sticking out grotesquely. Both are gone, and there are bargains available as possible replacements to be found around the league: Dax McCarty ($45,500), Stephen King ($17,700), Corey Ashe ($33,000), Roger Espinoza ($45,000), Pat Phelan ($33,000), and ex-Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Saragosa ($70,530), just to name a few, and a few is all that is needed.
Just by revamping the back line and midfield, the Galaxy can gain enough cap space to leave its forwards - Buddle, Donovan, Alan Gordon ($72,500), Ely Allen ($12,900) -- more or less intact. Academy graduate Tristan Bowen, a forward, would be a soft hit at $45,000, but he counts for zero as a Generation adidas player, so LA can certainly add a player here as well.
Arena has only two SuperDraft picks in the first two rounds (No. 3 and No. 18 overall) and two more in the fourth round. But with a hefty chunk of allocation money pending, the presence of two high-priced players won't be the insurmountable barrier some observers think it is.
"My one year in New York, I didn't have a pick in the first round," says Arena. "I picked Dane Richards and Sinisa Ubiparipovic and those guys worked out. I still like to believe we can get players in the third and fourth round who can help us.
"I don't think our shortcomings are attributable to the fact that, in terms of the salary cap, we have two Designated Players. That's not why we haven't been successful. We need to improve our roster, and we need to get the players who are here better, and we need to make the players here a better team.
"There's a lot of things we need to do that doesn't point a finger at the fact we have two designated players."

US 441 Resurfacing
An open house held by representatives from the Florida Department of Transportation was held to discuss plans and answer questions about the resurfacing. According to Laurie Windham, the project will include work that expands beyond the road. "Replacing damaged sidewalks, bringing those sidewalk ramps up to wheelchair accessible and A-D-A requirements, and also resurfacing and making for a smoother ride."
The Manager at Coffee Culture, Michael Purcell, thinks the project will effect his business. "To get out of the drive-thru, which is the majority of our revenue, you would have to battle back across the construction to get back north-bound to get through."
The lane closures will take place between 9:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M., in an attempt to be the least disruptive possible. -Brittany Scheck, Contributing Reporter

There's speed and then there's the kind of speed Dominic Davis has. The athlete finished 4th in the state 100m final last spring with a 10.51 clocking and will be favored to win it all next year. Unlike some track athletes playing football, Davis' speed translates with the pads on and he's the game breaking, home run hitter capable of scoring any time, anywhere on the field.
Davis had a great showing at the Edison tournament playing running back, in the slot and corner. His first two steps are so explosive and he's at full speed after just a few strides. He has great hands, a very strong lower body and plenty of room to fill out in his upper body.
On the recruiting front, Davis' last two offers were from the local schools, UCLA and USC.
"It meant a lot to get those two offers," Davis said. "With UCLA, they have had a lot of recent success and I like the athletes they're bringing in to the program. I was a fan of Jonathan Franklin when he was there. He was a running back that wasn't too big but had good speed so I saw him doing his thing and thought I could have that same success too.
"Coach Mora seems like a great guy and he told me they want me as a running back/slot receiver combo. He said they need a guy with speed that they can get in to space and do some things. I've never been to UCLA so I'm going to go up there soon, in the next few weeks with my mom and two brothers and check the place out."
Davis landed his offer from USC following the Rising Stars Camp.
"USC wasn't really recruiting me that hard but kept telling me I needed to come up for their camp," Davis said. "They said to come up and it would be worth it. I wasn't sure how interested they were but they showed me a lot of attention at the camp and then when it was over, Sark pulled me a side and offered a scholarship.
"I was real excited, I wanted to work hard and get the offer and that's what happened. USC is recruiting me as a running back. When I met with Sark in his office, he said a smaller, quicker back fits his offense better than a big back. He told me they didn't take a back last year so I would be able to come in and play right away. He said I complement the offense really well and that was great to hear. I'm going to visit USC with my mom during this dead period as well. We have three weeks off so I'm going to go check it out."
Davis said he has no plans to make an early commitment and wants to take a few official visits first.
"I definitely want to get to Washington State and Washington," Davis said. "Washington State was my 2nd Pac 12 offer and they're showing me a lot of love. I like their offense and they want me as a slot receiver. They want me to catch a ton of balls there and feel I could do some damage if they get me in space.
"I camped at Washington when they came out here and got to know Coach Peterson, Coach B (Bhonapha) and the whole staff really well. I love that staff, they have a bunch of great guys and I really enjoyed working with them. Right now, I just want to play out the process and I'm not leaning anywhere. Location isn't that big of a factor. I just want to find a place where I'll be comfortable and where my mom is comfortable with the staff and knows I'll be taken care of."

Internet cafés can be found in many cities and towns. All UK public libraries provide access, often branded as "People's Network", usually at no or little charge, though there is usually a time limit. Some hotels/hostels also offer internet access, including wifi, but most times at a cost. Using the internet on your personal phone can become expensive very quickly, with carriers charging 100's of times the local rate for data. To avoid these expensive roaming charges, you can hunt for wifi at a local cafe or hotel, or rent a mobile hotspot via several providers including DATAPiXY, and XCOM Global.

The country calling code to the United Kingdom is: 44. To make an international call from the United Kingdom, the code is: 00
In case of emergency, call 999 or 112 from any phone. Such calls are free and will be answered by an emergency services operator who will ask you for your location, and the service(s) you need (police, fire, ambulance, coastguard or mountain rescue). You can call this number from any mobile telephone as well, even if you do not have roaming.
Although the number is declining, you can still find payphones in many public areas, especially stations, airports etc. You can usually pay with cash and sometimes by creditcard or, for international calls, special phonecards are still available.
Mobile phones are heavily used. The main networks are T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange and O2. 3G data services are available, usually priced per megabyte and coverage is usually very good in the UK, however it may lack in rural areas. Roaming on your personal phone plan can be expensive. To manage costs, consider purchasing a local UK SIM card for your phone. Several companies offer local SIM cards including Telestial, and CellularAbroad.
The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mail's store fronts are called Post Office and offer services ranging from sending letters and packages to foreign currency exchange. Use the branch locator to find the nearest Post Office branch. There will be at least one post office in any town/city and there are quite often post offices in larger villages. It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
For sending packages overseas, it might be a good idea to check prices and services with international companies like TNT, UPS or DHL.
