Independence Resolutions & Consultations-Index
Constitution for an independent State of Texas, Republic of Mexico

Committee: Sam Houston (Chairman), Nestor Clay, Oliver Jones, James Kerr, Luke Leassier, Henry Smith and R. A. Williamson.
In the name of God, Omnipotent Author and Supreme Legislator of the Universe---
We, the people of Texas, being capable of figuring as a state, in the manner contemplated in the second article of the decree of the general Congress of the nation, of the 7th of May, 1824, do ordain the following Constitution; and do mutually agree with each other, to form ourselves into a full and independent state of the Mexican Confederacy, by the name of the "STATE OF TEXAS."

All livestock pharmaceuticals should be used according to label directions to avoid drug-residue violations in meat and dairy products.
According to the Dairy Animal Care & Quality Assurance (DACQA) Certification manual, open and consistent communication between dairy producers and a veterinarian is needed to assure quality control, animal well-being, and prevention of drug and chemical residues. Using animal health products exactly as they are labeled or prescribed by a veterinarian, with whom the producer has a valid Veterinary Client/Patient Relationship (VCPR), is required for DACQA Certification.
If you do not carefully follow label directions on medications, these common mistakes can occur:
- Treating a condition that is not indicated on the label (other than prescribed by a veterinarian)
- Treating a type of animal not indicated on the medication label
- Using more than the dosage indicated on the label (other than prescribed by a veterinarian)
- Not following the proper withdrawal time of the medication. Often the meat withdrawal is longer than the milk withdrawal. Be aware of this when making treatment decisions on cows that have a high probability of being culled
- Failing to clean out water and feed systems when medications are used
- Improper administration of a drug
- Improper storage of drugs
For more information on following label directions, check out some of the BQA YouTube video podcasts. See also section IV-A of the DACQA manual and Section VIII of the DCHA Gold Standards III.
DACQA is a voluntary, national certification program intended to enhance and demonstrate quality animal care practices that assure food safety, quality and value as well as enhance consumer confidence in the milk and beef products harvested from cattle on America's dairy farms.
DCHA is the only national association dedicated to serving the dairy calf and heifer industry. The association strives to provide information, education and access to leading research and technology to its members and the calf and heifer industry. DCHA's Gold Standards III also offers practical recommendations for humane handling of dairy calves and heifers, from birth to freshening.

Killeen Daily Herald
From boating to grilling, a mostly overcast sky did not deter Killeen area residents from heading outdoors on Labor Day.
Boaters were lined up Monday at a makeshift boat ramp at Cedar Gap Park on Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir.
For some, the holiday was an extra day to go out on the water.
"As often as my wife lets me," Jason Stenback said about how frequently he boats.
Stenback was one of dozens who used the drive that leads to the submerged boat ramp. After heavy rains the first part of the year, Stillhouse Hollow is currently 21 feet above its normal level, covering the boat ramp and revealing only treetops on what is normally dry land. The boat ramp at Cedar Gap Park is the only one open due to recent flooding.
Stenback and others were out fishing.
"I caught two keepers," he said, noting they were bass.
Christopher Stoute, of Killeen, was fishing on the shore with his two sons and their friend.
"I always promise them we will go out fishing," Stoute said.
He said he tries to take his children fishing about once a month.
"Every so often on a weekend I bring them out," Stoute said.
They weren't catching bass like Stenback, though. Just mostly small bluegills and perches.
Others were at the lake for different forms of recreation. The Jones' put their boat in the water to do some wakeboarding.
Around Killeen, some residents went to local parks to grill food during their extra day off.
At Long Branch Park, employees and their families from about a dozen barber shops and hair salons in the area came together for a Labor Day festival. The event started last year when two shops met at Carl Levin Park in Harker Heights. With rain threatening to spoil activities, the group moved its growing event to Killeen so it could use the large shelter.
Carolyn Brown, who owns Obsessions by Carolyn beauty salon, started the group's Labor Day get together. The group had activities like softball and a dance competition. The day of events ended with a barber competition.
"It's something we do and come together," said D. Horton, aka "Mrs. D" at Inspired Designs Salon and Barbershop.

Stanton St Quintin residents turned out in force for the unveiling of an overdue war memorial for the village.
Nick Greene, church warden of St Giles, researched the history of the village's war dead assuming Stanton St Quintin was a Thankful Village, meaning all soldiers had returned home, due to the lack of a memorial.
He found that this wasn't the case, but that in the First World War 44 men left the village, 12 of whom were injured and five killed.
The 6ft high memorial was unveiled on Thursday by North Wiltshire MP James Gray and Royal British Legion stalwart Derek Tilney. More than 100 villagers, schoolchildren and soldiers from the nearby Hullavington Barracks attended.
Mr Greene said: "We had lovely bright weather and it was amazing how many people turned up.
"Derek Tilney brought along a flag which we covered the memorial with and at the appropriate moment we pulled the flag off and everyone gasped in awe. It's really beautiful.
"I spoke to the school children about why it was made and pointed out that no public money was used for it, it all came from people living in the village."
Each pupil had a cross which they put in front of the 12 graves of RAF crew members killed between early 1940 and mid 1941 while they trained on bombers at Hullavington airfield.
The total cost of the build was £5,800, which came from sources in and around the village including a £2,000 donation from an anonymous benefactor, £250 from Stanton Manor Hotel and £500 from Hullavington Barracks.
Also among those who also lent a hand were 13-year-old Beatrice Baskett who raised £176 from the sale of popies she knitted.

Winning teams are just a combination of good players that are thrown together and are then expected to succeed. This is a team sport, not baseball. They need to work together as a team, and that is the coaches job. He does get paid for a reason.
You ever wonder how some of these coaches out there get so much more out of way weaker rosters? They're good coaches, and they show the players how to do certain things to succeed, as a team.
According to your logic, the Oilers should be killing the league. Well, there ya go. It takes a good coach to make a good team, not just a bunch of good players. Good players will get you so far, but it needs to be combined with good coaching.

TYSON VS. ALI to Host Ring 10 Veterans Boxing Foundation Benefit, 1/31
3-Legged Dog (Kevin Cunningham, Artistic Director) and Performance Space 122 are thrilled to announce a special benefit performance of TYSON vs. ALI for Ring 10 Veterans Boxing Foundation of New York. The benefit will take place on Friday, January 31 at 7:30 PM. Tickets, which are $50, are available by calling Ovationtix at 866-811-4111. For more information, visit www.3ldnyc.org.
Ring 10 Veterans Boxing Foundation of New York offers assistance and financial contributions to all impoverished and/or ailing fighters. The TYSON vs. ALI fundraising event is spearheaded by legendary PR-man Jules Feiler, whose clients have included boxing greats: Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, Ray "Boom-boom" Mancini, Larry Holmes, among others. Many former champions are expected to attend the benefit on the 31st in support of Ring 10.
Harrowing and unpredictable, TYSON vs. ALI realizes the greatest heavyweight-boxing match that never happened, placing two giants of boxing, Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali, into the ring in a way no one thought possible. Using a volatile combination of dance, theater and new-media stagecraft, artist and director Reid Farrington examines the emotional life and physical experiences of aspiring boxers through the larger-than-life personas of Iron Mike and The Greatest. TYSON vs. ALI explores how differently these two epic fighters reigned as champions and how their histories and personalities affected their community and the world at large.
With "an often spellbinding exactitude to [Farrington's] melding of video and performance" (New York Times), each boxer is lifted out of their respective careers and private histories to engage with one another. As the two jab, block and weave in video projection, live stunt performers silhouette their every move, landing real blows, creating a viscerally convincing version of the impossible: Ali and Tyson boxing and interacting as contemporaries.
TYSON vs ALI is created and directed by Reid Farrington, written by Frank Boudreaux and choreographed by Laura K. Nicoll, The cast features Dennis A. Allen II, Roger Casey, Femi Olagoke, Dave Shelley, and Jonathan Swain.
TYSON vs. ALI began preview performances on Friday, January 3 for an official opening on Wednesday, January 8. The performance schedule is Wednesday, January 22 - Sunday, January 26; at 7:30 PM Tuesday, January 28 - Wednesday, January 29; and Friday, January 31 - Saturday, February 1 at 7:30 PM; and Sunday, February 2 at 2 PM. Originally presented as part of Performance Space 122's COIL 2014, performances are at 3LD Art and Technology Center (80 Greenwich Street, at Rector, in downtown Manhattan). Tickets are available by calling Ovationtix at 866-811-4111. For more information, visit www.3ldnyc.org.

Date of Defense 2008-03-10 Availability unrestricted AbstractShortly before 1800, the publication of livrets de mise en scène, short manuals including information regarding costumes, set designs, and blocking (i.e., the movement of characters on stage), became increasingly popular in France. While theater scholars (G÷sta M. Bergman, Marvin Carlson, Hellmuth Christian Wolff) have recognized the value of these documents for the history of staging (and blocking in particular), musicologists have tended to focus on their impact on visual aspects and realization of drama. Those who have looked at staging (H. Robert Cohen, Rebecca S. Wilberg, M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet) have largely ignored the period prior to 1827, possibly because livrets dating from that time are scarce.
Focusing on the livret of Rossiniĺs Le Siège de Corinthe (Opéra, 9 October 1826), recently made available through the work of H. Robert Cohen, this thesis reexamines the conventions of staging at the Opéra during the 1820s. It shows that staging had largely been rooted in Baroque conventions until ca. 1800, broke with these conventions between 1800 and 1827, and—after the appointment of the Comité de mises en scène (April 1827) and régisseur de la scène Jean-Pierre Solomé (September 1827)—consolidated the new conventions explored in Le Siège. Although the Comité and Solomé were instrumental in implementing these conventions, their influence has been overstated (Bartlet). This thesis shows that many of Soloméĺs ideas were already being explored in Le Siège and thus cannot be exclusively attributed to the appointment of the Comité in 1827; rather, they are an extension of trends that had already been explored.

1. Re: How can you find up when your contract is up?spottedcatfish May 15, 2010 10:51 PM (in response to MeaghanBucy)
You could look at your original paperwork and add 12 or 24 months to your start date (based on if you signed a 12 or 24 month contract) to determine the date.
You can also look in MyVerizon, click on the NE2 counter next to your phone and you should be able to see your upgrade date and contract end date.
Another option is to call CS and ask, they will be able to provide you with your end date over the phone or via e-mail. You can find the address/phone numbers under the "contact us" portion of the Verizon website.

I looked for the AT&T internet plans and there is NO unlimited internet for $5. There is unlimited internet for $15 a month. Only certain phones can get that data package and other phones don't apply to that.
Aside from that....you go to:
Under line click "upgrade available".
You can see each phone line or just your phone line. It will show how far away you are from ending your contract. When it says basically do for an upgrade, that is when your contract ends.

Bush Increases Money for Old Drug Control Strategies, Despite Repeated Failures
At a press conference today, President George W. Bush and new "Drug Czar" John Walters announced the reauthorization of the Drug-Free Community Support Program. This is despite the fact that billions of dollars have already been spent on this and other federal drug control programs, and drugs are cheaper, purer and more readily available than ever before.
"We need to stop wasting money on failed strategies," said Ethan Nadelmann, Executive Director of The Lindesmith Center - Drug Policy Foundation, a national drug policy reform organization. "Now is not the time to be throwing money away."
"The traffic in drugs finances the work of terror," claimed President Bush, as a way of explaining the increase in funding for old drug war programs.
Though there is speculation about Osama bin Laden's profiting from the illegal heroin trade, Nadelmann points out that it is actually the black market, not the drug itself, that makes this connection possible.
"Terrorism should be prevented at all costs," said Nadelmann. "But pumping more money into the drug war is not the way to go about it. In fact, it can only make things worse. The fact that Afganistan's brutal Taliban regime have profited financially from the illegal heroin trade is a resounding indictment of the drug war."
According to the United Nations, the illicit drug economy is estimated at $400 billion annually. "There is a clear historical precedent in alcohol prohibition," said Nadelmann. "With alcohol prohibition repealed, liquor bootleggers no longer terrorize American cities with deadly turf battles, nor do consumers go blind drinking unregulated bathtub gin."
"It is increasingly clear that the drug war is not just a failed policy. It's a national security threat," said Nadelmann. "Continuing to subsidize mobsters at home and terrorists abroad will not make America safer."
Bush heralded the mid-80's and early-90's as a drug war success stories. However, this time period was marked by the crack cocaine epidemic and a rapid rise in HIV infections due to intravenous drug use.
Drug policy reform advocates point to the harm reduction policies being used in Europe as a cost-effective alternative to the $50 billion drug war. European Union countries have all but abandoned the zero-tolerance drug war in favor of harm reduction measures such as needle exchange programs to stop the spread of HIV; reality-based drug education; and a range of treatment alternatives that do not require incarceration as a prerequisite.

The Pittsburgh Penguins and superstar captain Sidney Crosby agreed to a 12-year, $104.4 million contract on Thursday, though the 24-year-old will not be able to make it official until Sunday.
It's certainly a bold move for the Penguins due to Crosby's recent injuries that left him sidelined for most of the past two seasons with concussion-like symptoms. If those symptoms occur again and get worse, Pittsburgh could be on the hook for a lot of green, as Crosby will make $8.7 million per year. But there are always plenty of 'what-if's' in sports.
Crosby's previous deal was set to expire next summer but the Penguins didn't want to hesitate on a new deal, especially after freeing up some money with the trade of Jordan Staal last weekend at the draft.
"We are grateful for all that Sidney Crosby has done for our franchise since coming to Pittsburgh in 2005, both on and off the ice, and we look forward to having him in a Penguins uniform for the rest of his career," owner Mario Lemieux said in a released statement.
Crosby made it clear during the playoffs that he hoped to remain with the Penguins, the team that drafted him first overall in the 2005 draft in the hopes of him becoming the next Wayne Gretzky. Crosby has played in just 28 games since earning the Hart Trophy as league MVP and the Stanley Cup in 2009, thanks to a vicous hit in the Winter Classic in January, 2011 that left him with a concussion.
Evgeni Malkin was huge during Crosby's absence, winning the MVP and the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer this past season, but there's no doubt Sid the Kid is still the best player in the world. In his seven seasons in the NHL, Crosby has 223 goals and 386 points, which is impressive considering he has only played in 434 games.
The move allows the Penguins to focus on the upcoming start of free agency on July 1, but 12 years might be a little too long. A lot can happen in that time and health still remains a bit of an issue with Crosby. We understand the fact that the Penguins don't want to lose him and want him to remain in Pittsburgh for his whole career, but maybe a smaller, seven or eight-year contract would have been a good start.
We've seen it before with Philadelphia's Keith Primeau and we're seeing it now with Boston's Marc Savard, both of whom earned healthy paychecks before injuries shortened their careers.
Let's hope we don't see it again because Crosby is the face of the league, the best player of the past decade and fun to watch – though his opponents might not agree.

Over the past few weeks, I've been getting lost in the world of Ed Tech. Today, I'm bringing EdGeeks back to a low-tech/no-tech reading strategy. Today's strategy is one that can support readers whether they are struggling, on grade level or above grade level. I will call this strategy: "Give it a Subtitle." By subtitle, I mean write a few words that can remind you what each chunk of text was all about.
How it Works:
Many non-fiction texts are broken down into chunks with subtitles. Subtitles can be comforting because they can guide the reader to specific information. In this strategy, a student reads a paragraph and creates a subtitle that makes sense. Here are 3 simple steps:
- Read a chunk (often a paragraph) of text.
- Stop and think: What is this chunk mostly about?
- Create and write a subtitle for the chunk.
When to Use It:
This strategy doesn't make sense all the time. I suggest using this strategy when a text is long and feels daunting or overwhelming. Chunking the text and giving each chunk a subtitle can help a reader:
- Feel more confident in attacking a long text
- Remember the begininning and middle parts of a long text
- Organize the text so that it is easier to refer back to the text to find information
- By boosting comprehension of a long and challenging text
- Answer the question: "What is this text mostly about?"
What Does it Look Like?
This is a sample text that already has subtitles. The red arrows show each subtitle.
This is a sample text that did not have subtitles. I read through it and used the "Give it a Subtitle" strategy.

Q: What is something a Juggalo would never do?
A: A Juggalo would never be a hound dog. Never literally harass and or be an asshole in any way shape or form. And to be irritating and to be weirdo in the sense of being just hound-dogging-ass motherfucker, that's just no good. You don't want anyone riding your nuts, you know. A real Juggalo, flat-out, to quote the song, "A real Juggalo don't want no picture. They just walk up, like, 'What up, Ninja!?'" Just be a total, cool, chill motherfucker. A Juggalo would never ever ever cover up their tattoos. But, you know, at the end of the day you just, you're not disloyal. A real Juggalo would never be disloyal. No Juggalo would ever turn their back on another homie.
Q: Is it true that there's an ICP board game?
A: Oh yes. Violent J's brother, Jumpsteady, he's produced a board game, and he's made games ever since they were kids I'm not kidding. I'm a playing piece in the "Wraith of Shangri-La" board game, and it ain't your average Monopoly. I mean it is fucking evolved and it is dope. It's basically Dungeons & Dragons-esque, but in the realm of Psychopathic. And no bullshit: Vinnie the ICP Kid is an actual playing piece in the board game, and I can send you back to the beginning if you play me unless you're at the last stages of the game, so I'm just kind of like a crucial card, like, a real off-the-hook card if you pull me. It's unreal. So any time someone's like "Why do you listen to those guys," I'm like, "Um, I don't mean to be arrogant, but are you in a board game? No? No? OK, alright."

Shanda made $16.7 million, or 24 cents a share, on revenue of $50.7 million. Analysts were expecting earnings of 6 cents a share on sales of $42.8 million, according to Thomson Financial. The company's business that includes role-playing computer games was up 36%, compared with the single-digit percentage growth analysts had expected, says Ming Zhao, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group who has a neutral rating on the shares. ``They have managed their costs very efficiently,'' he says. Shanda rose $1.10, or 7%, to $17.65.

This past Friday, New York Jets rookie wide receiver Jalen Saunders was involved in a single-car automobile accident while headed to practice in Florham Park and as a result, was unable to play in Saturday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Saunders was kept in a medical facility in New Jersey overnight on Sunday and was able to return to the team's practice facility on Monday to work with the trainers to determine the extent of his injuries, which have yet to be revealed to the public.
In the incident report from police in Florham Park, it was determined that Saunders had a "medical event" at the time of his accident, which was a little bit before 8 a.m.
"Vehicle One was at the intersection of Park Avenue and Florham Park Road in the left turn lane. As Vehicle One began to turn left the driver experienced a medical event. Vehicle One did not make a full turn and proceeded on an angle across the north lanes of Park Avenue, striking the curb. After striking the curb Vehicle One continued forward leaving the roadway and coming to a rest in high grass.''
It's not clear if Saunders had a seizure of some kind or if the medical event was a heart attack or anything else that would cause a car accident, but it sounds like Saunders is very fortunate that he didn't get seriously injured or worse from the events of Friday and was able to return to the Jets this week with his health still in tact.
It's unclear if Saunders will be ready to go for their next preseason game this Saturday against the New York Giants.

Michelle's French Silk Pie/Mousse With Pecan Crust
Be the first to review
READY IN: 42mins
Recipe by micalovey
I have not found one of this version with the pecan crust or these exact ingredients yet. My sister, Michelle started making this when she was in middle school, many moons ago. We love this recipe it is very rich and addicting! Can make it sugar free by using equal amounts of Splenda instead of sugar, but if you do, I would use unsalted butter. I make a mousse by using the pie ingredients and putting it in parfait glasses.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
Pecan Pie Crust
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup real butter, softened at room temp
- 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
- 1⁄4 cup chopped pecans
- 3⁄4 cup real butter, softened at room temp
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 ounces Choco-bake (or any premelted chocolate)
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Heath candy bar, crushed
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix ingredients with a fork for pie crust, press in a 9-inch pie pan or may be enough for a 9 x 13 cake pan instead that is well buttered and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Let cool in the fridge.
- In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugar until almost white about 3-5 minutes. Mix in Choco-bake and vanilla, beating well. Add in each egg separately and beat 3 minutes after each egg. Until smooth and creamy.
- Fill pie shell with chocolate filling, let chill before spreading whipping cream on top.
- Whip the topping ingredients and spread on pie. Sprinkle with shredded chocolate, sprinkles or Hershey's syrup in a pretty pattern and crushed pecans if you'd like. Let cool to firm up in the fridge about 4 hours before serving. Can be frozen and thawed before serving.

Now She's Gone TOO Far!
Has Sarah Palin no remnant of decency? Is there no line she won't cross? Fruit flies??? FRUIT FLIES?? Now it's personal.
Fruit flies are my friends. Fruit flies got me into medical school. Fruit flies allowed me hours of goofing off I'd otherwise have had to spend taking more college credits. Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) taught me how to get up at two a.m. to run to work. (The little buggers fornicate within hours of birth; separating them before the love-fest is essential to maintaining chromosomal purity.) Enough, woman, ENOUGH!!!
In college I was a biology major, focusing on genetics. My honors project, "Intra-allelic recombination at the RUBY locus in Drosophila Melanogaster," is the stuff of legends in the old bio building at Amherst. (Well, if that's true, it's because when I presented it, I dedicated the work to Ray Charles "who predicted the very results I'm about to present, when he said, "They say, Ruby you're like a dream, not always what you seem..."
Replaced largely by viral and bacterial genetics, the venerable fruit fly still has its place, an important one at that, in genetic research. While not as fast as bacteria, generations come rapidly enough to allow study over time that would be much longer in other animals; and the phenotypes (the outward manifestation of various genes, ie, the "ruby" eye color) are easily identified. Fruit fly genetics has an honored place in the history of modern biology, and still belongs in the mix of important and promising research.
So, Sarah Palin, I say to you in all sincerity: before you shoot off your mouth, spend a dime on a science advisor as well as your makeup artist. Shut up, good madam; in the name of reason and rationality, stick to what you know: nothing!!! Nothing at all. Good day!

Hey Sid, we have something in common! I bred Fruit Flies in College Genetics also, and remember the Ether you had to use to sedate them so you could do a post-coital census? Man! does that stuff burn good. OK I know I'm setting myself up for the obligatory Southern-Inbreeding insult, so take your best shot! And dude, Sarah's really gotten under your epidermis hasn't she? Oh yeah! Amherst?!?! aint that a Girl's School??? and go ahead, Censor me, I dare ya,

I predict that Palin will end up in Hollywood with all its celebrity and glamour hosting a right-wing Oprah type show, with its huge wardrobe budget and other perks. And she'll be the darling of the noisy conservative crowd, her theme being to discredit every move made by President Obama. And I predict that the left leaning TV producers will forget their liberal proclamations and trip all over themselves for her favors. And they'll all make a lot of money. *sigh*

Hey Ellen how did you get those fetal pigs back in the 50's? from some shady back alley Swine-abortionist?? I don't buy that Mendelian genetics crap, my Fruit Flies must not have read the book, cause there numbers never came out right. And I've seen black babies born to 2 caucasian parents, happens more often than you think. And what did your mom do to warrant a Scorpion sting?

Pricci Restaurant Review: A classic, contemporary design defines the space at Pricci. The seasons determine the contents of its menu under longtime chef Piero Premoli, who hails from Milano. Start by dipping house-baked bread into a flavorful tomato sauce with a creamy cheese center, a complimentary amuse. Appetizers range from an elegantly composed burrata, ringed with ribbon slices of fresh zucchini and served with cherry tomato halves and balsamic vinegar drizzle, to mussels and Sapelo Island clams in a fairly peppery spicy broth. Risotto, made to order from carnaroli rice and served al dente, takes 20-25 minutes to prepare properly, a standard that the kitchen does not compromise. We've enjoyed many of the pasta dishes, especially the linguine frutti di mare and the lasagna. We also recommend the seafood stew and the Dover sole filleted tableside and served with capers, olive oil and lemon juice. Daily specials and the regional menu add variety. Pricci also offers pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven. To conclude, sample the dark chocolate gianduja --- two long bars of sweet delight. The wine list favors Italian choices, some available by the quartino. Reds are served too warm, though, but waiters will cool down a bottle. Top it all off with a grappa and espresso.

Our health supplements are made from natural ingredients. If you are taking medication, have a long term health problem or are pregnant, consult your doctor before use.
Pure Garcinia Cambogia capsules from Evolution Slimming are ideal for helping people to lose weight safely & naturally.
Garcinia Cambogia (also known as gambooge) contains HCA which stands for 'hydroxycitric acid'. This HCA is the active weight loss ingredient within the Garcinia Cambogia fruit and is now being utilised in weight loss supplements with surprising results.
Garcinia Cambogia has been used across Africa and Asia for centuries as a powerful natural remedy for digestive and inflammatory conditions. Its weight loss benefits have recently come to the attention of many through the work of health professionals who describe Garcinia Cambogia as 'the Holy Grail of weight loss'.
This version of our Garcinia Cambogia is 100% pure with no added extras, so it is caffeine free as well as containing zero calcium or potassium which some customers prefer.
"I've struggled with my weight for a very long time. I'm one of those people who always feels hungry, even after a heavy meal I'm hungry again a few hours later.
I've tried various diets before, but recently I followed a lower carb diet alongside Garcinia Cambogia capsules since I read they can help reduce the impact of carbohydrates and also help to suppress the appetite.
I've always been a little skeptical of 'diet pills' but once I had looked into the details, natural weight loss supplements seemed to be very safe, popular and recommended by some health professionals.
I found that taking the Garcinia capsules before lunch & dinner helped me feel less hungry between meals and when I did eat, I was able to feel satisfied with my smaller portion sizes which was great.
I've since dropped down to a size 14 from an 18 and would like to continue until I'm back to my pre-baby size 10."
Active individuals use HCA to both support fat loss and increase energy levels and because, unlike many other weight-loss or stimulant products, HCA doesn't cause negative side effects, such as the jitters.
There's so many benefits to losing weight by adding a natural health supplement to your diet.
Garcinia Cambogia is to be taken 3 times daily with water for the best results. Each capsule contains the equivalent of 1,000mg of pure Garcinia Cambogia and is the perfect strength you need to see weight loss results.
When you buy Garcinia Cambogia from Evolution Slimming you can rest assured you're buying the best Garcinia Cambogia weight loss supplement because:
Evolution Slimming weight loss supplements are produced in an FDA and MHRA approved facility in the UK and our products and supplements are Doctor Trusted for even greater quality assurance.

Is it safe to take both these supplements together? I have been taking for a month now, sometimes taking double dose to maximise effect and am definitely noticing weight loss especially around the tummy area. I also exercise every day, walk about 3 miles per day with the dogs. I don't and have never had a huge appetite. Looking for advice on how I'm taking them.*

How many pills I have to take a day and when? can this be explained good so I know how to use this*
by Kristine Johnson
I have been taking the pills for almost a year now and I have lost almost 50 pounds now, if not a little more, they are fantastic at losing weight. I have gone down 5 sizes, I never worn jeans before, I couldn't get into any, and I looked so fat in any jeans, and now I am in a size 7 jeans and look so good in them. Everyone says how skinny I am and how did I get that way, I tell them about the garcinia cambogia, and how they should definitely try it, because if it worked for me, it will work for them. I used to be able to lose weight so fast, but ever since I reached my 40s, it has been really hard for me, but now with using these, it's not hard at all. I will continue to use these until I reach my desired weight goal, which I am not sure what it is yet, I just want to be so skinny that I am in a size 3/4!!! :)*

I've been struggling with my weight since I had my 2nd child.... never had the energy or willpower to buckle down and lose the weight. using this pill i can certainly tell that I'm less hungry - especially around the evenings which is when I'm at my worst. Its just amazing how feeling less hungry makes you just get on with life without thinking about food all day.*
by Shanté
I've been using this supplement for about 2 months now alongside a low carb diet and I can honestly say, that out of all other diets I've tried this one seems to be really working with my body. I've tried low calorie, low fat diets and other types of diet pills but this pure garcinia seems to be doing the trick for me. I love that its 100% pure garcinia since I am allergic to caffeine so i try and avoid it where possible.*

Stalled in Singapore
A few months ago, SembCorp Industries CEO Wong Kok Siew had big plans for his $1.8 billion Singapore conglomerate. Wong hoped to make major investments in his core businesses, which include ship repair, logistics, and waste management, while selling off unneeded subsidiaries and selling more shares.
Instead, Wong has suffered through a year of frustration. He put Nasdaq-listed Pacific Internet Ltd., the group's Internet service provider, up for sale: The tech market crash scuttled that plan. And in late March, SembCorp postponed a private stock placement of $166 million. "We try to do our best," says Wong. "But sometimes, along the way, we cannot."
SembCorp's woes are also those of Singapore Inc. Like many of the city-state's other conglomerates, SembCorp is controlled by the government, which has a 58% stake through Temasek Holdings Ltd. After the 1997 Asian crash, the government mapped out ambitious plans to unload its holdings and encourage these conglomerates to invest elsewhere in Asia. Temasek, which owns more than 100 companies with assets of some $30 billion, said it would divest itself of shares. At the same time, the companies were supposed to recruit senior foreign talent, and Singapore would open up its financial-services and telecom markets to outsiders.
ECONOMIC CHILL. It was to be a bold remaking of Singapore Inc., one that would replace technocrats with entrepreneurs as drivers of the economy. But market conditions and lethargy have conspired to make this transition more difficult than foreseen. So far, Temasek has divested few holdings. Foreign execs have been hard to come by, and government-linked companies (GLCs) have not done much investing overseas. Divestitures haven't been "as fast as we would like because it's not a good market in which to sell," says Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is known as B.G. Lee after his old army rank of brigadier general. As for making big acquisitions, says Lee, "you want to be very careful not to make a mistake."
Now, another economic chill is settling over Asia. And with GLCs still stuck with poorly performing businesses, that leaves Singapore's economy, with its heavy reliance on electronics exports, badly positioned for the slowdown. On Apr. 10, the government cut its 2001 growth forecast by a third, to a range of 3.5% to 5%.
Not that Singapore is sitting on its hands. Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) is offering $5.3 billion for Hong Kong's Dao Heng Bank Group Ltd. Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. has offered to buy Cable & Wireless Optus Ltd., Australia's No. 2 mobile carrier, for $8 billion. A new management team led by foreigners has turned around Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. And at SembCorp, Wong has managed to sell $600 million in assets.
But these moves are far short of what's needed to create freestanding, world-class multinationals. "I would say there have been more misses than hits, and the hits were not spectacular," says an economist at a local brokerage who asked not to be named.
SembCorp was to serve as the model for restructuring. It was created in 1999 from a merger between ailing state-owned Sembawang Corp. and subsidiaries of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd. Early last year, Wong gave the heads of five divisions until yearend to turn themselves into global competitors through mergers and acquisitions. So far, only one deal has closed: SembCorp Logistics paid $357 million for 20% of Kuehne & Nagel International, a Swiss freight forwarder. But analysts say all SembCorp Logistics got was a boost in its number of clients in Asia from 30 to 80. Not bad, but they say the deal was an expensive way to win new clients.
SembCorp plans new investments in soon-to-be-privatized power plants and waste incinerators. But these will cost up to $2 billion, and SembCorp will probably have to borrow. Some analysts say its debt is high--when all subsidiaries are included--and could hit 150% of equity. "The worry is that these guys will go out and overstretch themselves," warns a Singapore analyst who tracks the company. Wong disputes the analysts' accounting methods and says SembCorp's debt level is safe. On the earnings front, while Wong has wiped out SembCorp's red ink, aftertax profits rose just 2%, to $72 million last year.
At SingTel, which was supposed to lead the offshore push, the challenges seem even bigger. Already plagued locally by falling telecom prices due to deregulation, the company saw its takeover bids in both Hong Kong and Malaysia rebuffed. And since the Optus deal was agreed on, a 25% drop in SingTel's stock price has wiped out $5.25 billion in market capitalization. Investors apparently don't approve of the 15% premium SingTel paid. Now, security analysts suspect it will have to pony up more cash. Much of its investment was to be in the form of stock, which now is worth less than when the offer was made. Meanwhile, Australia's Defense Dept. may raise objections to the deal, an issue SingTel declines to comment on.
The broader effort to liberalize Singapore's telecom sector is behind schedule as well. The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), Singapore's telecom regulator, was supposed to raise billions of dollars by auctioning third-generation cellular licenses last year. But as the IDA considered how to proceed, 3G mania fizzled in Europe. Only three of the four licenses were sold on Apr. 11 for the minimum price of $55 million each. Officials at IDA, and B.G. Lee himself, counter that this is a minor problem, given the overall gains made in deregulation. "Perhaps we should have sold our 3G licenses last year," Lee admits. "But we are not in this for a few hundred million dollars here and there."
TOO BORING. Singapore's biggest dreams are to match Hong Kong as a regional finance center. And if it can pull off the Dao Heng acquisition, DBS will get a major foothold in Hong Kong. It needs a victory. The purchase of Thai Dhanu Bank Ltd. in Bangkok brought more faulty loans than DBS expected. In January, J.P. Morgan veteran John Olds, recruited in late 1998, resigned after only two years at the helm. Olds says it will take five to seven years to build DBS into a regional powerhouse, and that it would be "boring" to remain at the bank that long. Other managers say he had grown frustrated at his inability to turn it into a pan-Asian player. DBS's acquisitions so far "have been more complicated than they expected," concedes Lee. "But that's part of the learning process."
That can be said for the entire restructuring of Singapore Inc. To their credit, officials have made enough good moves--from luring an influx of foreign investment to lowering telecom costs--to keep the economy relatively healthy. But with global markets reeling, it may be some time before Singapore Inc. has another good chance to become a more important global business power.
